[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] sneak:
What's the deal with the note saying that only Super GApps are recommended? A bit strange.

I think you could, couldn't you?

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

"Custom Kernel Link" in OP.

Based on his recommendation (thanks) I chose the same Kernel and it worked fine for me as well. I'm also on V30+ US998 converted from LS998. As I was entering the password for the WiFi I was already blown away by that magnifying glass feature when I was scrolling through the password to fix a letter I input incorrectly due to the default keyboard keys being a bit small. Never seen anything like that; such a nice feature.

I noticed the Pixel Launcher doesn't work though, it just keeps crashing. Is this normal or should I get some logs? Is this ROM still maintained? I wanted to try it first because based off very little research I did on Lawnchair it's apparently really good so I wanted to try Pixel first.

As far as customization the available options are decent. I couldn't find any settings for the launcher but I'm unsure if that's normal. There's no app icon for it either. The "CLEAR ALL" button is on the top right of recent apps. I'm unsure if that's default in Android Pie or not but for whatever reason it's there it seems like a bad placement because of the size of the phone (and phones in general these days).

Unfortunately, SELinux is permissive and cts SafetyNet fails. I tried both kernels and made sure USB debugging was off. I don't know what the issue is. Maybe another kernel would work? I don't know; I'm too lazy and I think people already know what the issue is so I'll move on to more ROMs. The ROM was very responsive though, just like stock. I didn't notice any issues with stock ROM performance but I think the animations give you the impression on this ROM that it's faster/smoother. Really well-polished in that aspect IMO. My phone on stock Oreo (20F) scores 182k+ on AnTuTu, 200k+ on dotOS and Superior OS scored 212k+ with the DU kernel. Though, AnTuTu reports the MEM score is abnormal and I would agree lol.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Wrapp:
Hi all,

I'm using the lockscreen notifications to get informed about new messages, traffic information,... without unlocking the phone. What I don't want to see on my lockscreen are persistent notifications like AdGuard or my network speed meter. In the notification settings I can only switch them on/off globally, so they will also disappear from the status bar (but that's exactly where I want to see e.g. my network speed).

I'm pretty sure, there was an option sometime in the past saying 'Hide notification on lockscreen'. But I cant find that anymore in Beta19 nor Beta20. How do you control what is shown on the lock screen? Is this option hidden somewhere? Or do you use a third party lockscreen app?

Edit: I learned now, that I have to have a lockscreen defined when i want to change the visibility on the lockscreen.... Anyway, any recommendations for a good third party app?

Rooting for me for adaway ,modify the sound,titanuim backup, edit the dpi , remove bloatware

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Ad blocking is achievable without root. For me, it's a few tweaks here and there like setting dpi and other stuff that is more about little annoyances than major issues.

Edit: so today I finally got around to rooting this thing. I have rooted, installed magisk, and installed xposed. I am really glad I did. Here is what I like so far:

Adaway - because of ads (can also disable ads without root though)

Vanced YouTube (doesn't require root, but worth mentioning)

Persistent dpi change... Smallest width stays at 451 after reboot

Smali Patcher - magisk module to disable flag_secure so I can screenshot anything

I'll add more when I remember it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] domy_os:
I was rooting every phone in the past because it was easy. Huawei is much more complicated and I didn't want to risk and brick the new phone. Now, after four months with Mate 10, I don't miss root, TWRP and custom ROMs because everything works fine out of the box.

Bloatware apps are uninstalled or disabled, depending on app.

I have ads in only one app for home workout, other 50 apps I use are free of ads.

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin add-on and Youtube Vanced, so no ads here too.

Stock Backup app works fine including auto-backup and I don't need Titanium Backup anymore.

Call recording works fine with Call Recorder - ACR app (even on Android 9 Pie) and I don't need the call recording TWRP patch.

That's all. :)

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] hyborian:
Rooting for me :

Full control, using Tasker or Macrodroid - control wifi, radio, cellular, screen, battery charging, etc. so many

Adaway - can use DNS66 for unrooted phones

Full Backups using Titanium or Migrate, moving files - Google backup is not so bad these days though

Nandroid Backups - oh yeah, no fear of disasters

Kernel control - Kernel Adiutor, Ex Kernel Manager, LSpeed, etc.

Apps2SD Pro

I don't use custom roms on my work phones, only on phones for fooling around

Anyway, Huawei Mate 10 not too bad at its unrooted stock with some additional apps like Macrodroid, Gesture Control, Nova Launcher, Greenify, Solid Explorer, Smart Touch Pro.

On this phone, it's a good one that I don't miss the root stuff enough (except for Nandroid backups) to pay Funky Huawei to unlock the bootloader. For their price, I can just add a bit more to get a good Xiaomi phone, and can root at will.

Since this phone's bootloader can't be unlocked is it still possible to flash the stock firmware from download mode? (It can be accessed by powering off then hold VolUp then insert micro USB to computer with a cable that can read and write data eg. The stock one that came with the phone). OEM unlock is enabled.

[Amazfit] cumbrianrunner:
Resting heart rate and heart rate in general is broken

Hi

I upgraded from 2.3.7.0 from 2.3.5.0 yesterday. I've logged about 660 miles of running and cycling with 2.3.5.0 since early September.

Unfortunately heart rate seems to be broken now - on the phone app and on the heart rate app on the watch I now see -- rather than resting heart rate. I also see some very strange 'spikes' now during inactivity (just sitting on my laptop, browsing) which I never got before.

Also on the the first run with 2.3.7.0 after hitting the green 'Go' button the watch completely froze on the next screen, speed / mileage / HR was just blank and not updating - I had to do a long press on the top button to restart the watch.

I've restarted and rebooted 3 times since going to 2.3.7.0 and I regret it.
[Amazfit] ronaldheld:
Do not upgrade to 2.3.7.0 is a general consensus?
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Huge thanks for this! I was thinking to update or not and now, definitely not. Ironically, update supposed to fix "abnormal heart rate".
[Amazfit] TumiBC:
Heart rate for me is definitely more accurate in 2.3.7.0 and I didn't notice any other differences elsewhere. Previously in activities heart rate would always be higher no matter if I was just sitting down and doing nothing or actually doing the activity. Now it's more consistent with actual heart rate.
[Amazfit] cumbrianrunner:
What was your previous firmware?

I did not go to 2.3.6.0 due to the back light bug, or 2.3.6.1 due to heart rate issues reported.

For example, since moving to 2.3.7.0 I see a minimum heart rate of 44 BPM reported now, before this 'upgrade' since September it was always 47 BPM and now off course resting heart rate (which is usually 52 - 54 BPM) is no longer reported at all.

I found with 2.3.5.0 resting heart rate with Stratos was very good - it was within 1 or 2 of my Wahoo Tickr bluetooth HRM and pretty much the same as Fitbit Surge. Stratos is always useless for heart rate when running or cycling and I do not think firmware will ever fix this which is why I use Wahoo Tickr for activities, but resting pre 2.3.7.0 was always accurate.
[Amazfit] fat100:
On my watch, continous HR didn't work. The green light didn't show.

Floors climbed is more accurate.
[Amazfit] ronaldheld:
I stopped updating at 1.3.6.1 today. The only reported problem with 7.x is HR precision?
[Amazfit] andreluigo:
WTF

I updated accidentally. I had selected to skip this version but it was offering update and constantly losing connection to phone. So when I clicked to see an notification the update message jumped under my click and updated.

God bless me...

If I get any issue, there is any way to downgrade without unlock bootloader?

I'm new here so I can't post any links but if anyone wants to see HR from 13th December with 2.3.7.0 vs HR with older 2.3.5.0 firmware from 10th December let me know

HR looks awful on 2.3.7.0 - gaps in heart rate, strange spikes and complete reading loss, and off course no resting HR (--)
[Amazfit] pashapush:
Hi there!

I've got the same problem. Neither restarting nor rebooting are no help!

The remedy for this is following. You have to perform unpairing your watch from the mobile device (use application for that) - it is going to cause the watch rebooting. Next - on the mobile device delete your watch from bluetooth pairs (use bluetooth settings). After the watch rebooting is completed, pair it again (scan the QR-code and do all the other steps). Deny the suggestion of restoring user data (that is IMPORTANT!). After the pairing process is completed restore you settings manually.

Of course you will lose the data and statistics you have collected. But the watch is going to start working again.
[Amazfit] cumbrianrunner:
Thanks for the suggestion but I am not prepared to lose over 3 months data, over 660 miles since September. It makes the watch pointless to track progress.

I've contacted Amazfit support with screenshots showing the heart rate issues, 10th December 2.3.50 data is great, 13th December with 2.3.7.0 is just a mess :(

After over 2 years software development and still weekly updates, I can't understand why the s/w is so bad after over 2 years development. Great hardware (apart from optical heart rate sensor) but the bad software really is a killer :(
[Amazfit] andreluigo:
Apparently everything is ok...

HR is working flawless as always!

Tomorrow I'll run and let's see how will be the behavior.

[Amazfit] ronaldheld:
I suppose I can wait a while longer to update...
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
I agree with comments above. It's just ridiculous that they cannot make sw right. And unpairing/pairing... Really? In 21st century we have to waste our time to fix damn gadget.

Btw, if you sync first, your data should not be lost. In reality, most probably you are going to lose data of the current day and the last night. Always happened to me with unpairing/pairing.
[Amazfit] cumbrianrunner:
I backed up using the Amaz backup software here on another thread, then unpaired / repaired.

It doesn't fix the problem at all - if anything is made things worse as now I lost Continuous heart rate monitoring. This no longer works at all when it is enabled - if you go to screen with the Continuous On switch, it activates for about 15 seconds, then turns off again as soon as you go back to the main watch face. I

Sometimes HR randomly comes on again for about 15 seconds - I guess this is why there is so much missing data from my continuous monitoring.

Heart monitor comes on ok during a Sport, or comes on fine if you do a 'Check' with the green button on the heart app, so its not a hardware problem - it's software, something in 2.3.7.0 totally broke something so deep it can't be solved with a reset - must be a persistent setting somewhere.

I'm beyond fed up now.
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Well, looks like you supposed to not restore backup. Neither using official or unofficial way.

About continuous hrm, it's not really continuous. It's measuring in some intervals. Maybe every 15s or some. Otherwise will drain battery too quickly. Resting hr to show up also takes some time, maybe even 24h. It makes sense, watch needs to measure long enough to calculate your resting hr.

But this we should not have this conversation, update supposed to be tested before release. Now we are beta or even alpha testers. But if company like MS can do that...
[Amazfit] cumbrianrunner:
A couple of points - I've backed up but not restored anything. I've speng nearly 2 days trying to solve this, probably about 20 reboots / power off / factory reset / unpairs in total.

When continuous HR is set to On with previous firmware, the green LEDs flashed all the time, 24/7 even if it wasn't on your wrist. This is how its supposed to work (and did with 2.3.5.0) and how my Fitbit Surge works - with continuous HR monitoring, the LEDs will flashing continuously. They do not 'burst' for about 15 seconds, go off for a minute or two, then come back on again for a few seconds like with 2.3.7.0 behavior.

Once I can post links and put up some photos and do a video of what is going wrong - I'll be sharing this with Amazfit, and also my vendor, as at this stage with a half marathon and marathon coming up soon next year, I really need a reliable watch. so also looking at refund options sadly too :(
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
I'm pretty sure that green LED os not flashing all the time... Anyway, you should report problem as we all should. More reports, bigger chance they will solve bugs.

I reported many bugs and issue already. Most, if not all, are not solved :D
[Amazfit] ronaldheld:
Sounds like I should umlock my bootloader
[Amazfit] cumbrianrunner:
No, with continuous HR on then flashing all the time is the correct behavior.

The only time they should turn off in Continuous is when you are using an external Bluetooth heart rate monitor - then the heart rate monitor takes over for the duration of the exercise, then internal HRM on Stratos takes over again when the activity is stopped. This is important as HR just after exercise is very important to know too (how quickly your heart recovers)

So just to confirm again - when continuous HR is enabled, LEDs will always be flashing all the time unless external HR is used. Well at least this was the behaviour before 2.3.7.0....
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Ok, I'm wearing Stratos right now, continuous HRM is on, green light is currently off. If i watch long enough, led will turn on for short period of time and turn back off. As I'm writing this, led just turned on anf after short period of time, off.

And it was always like that, when I had Pace (over a year) and now Stratos.
[Amazfit] ashmanist:
Everything works fine with me. Yes, continous HR is not working all the time, but that is perfectly normal as was on my garmin device. It works flawlessly and even better than on the 2.3.6. version. Finally I can say I`m satisfied with the purchase of this device. Recognizes HR while walking without exercise turned on as was on my garmin. Perfect.

I recommend to those who update to "start from the 0". Unpair device from the app and update the watch. Don`t delete data from the app. I remember few months ago when battery lasted with continous HR and few exercises for just 3 days. Now it lasts up to 5 days. For more details see post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77997450&postcount=35. :highfive:

No, continuous HR on Stratos means 1 minute intervalls. Always flashing lights were a bug which got fixed.

Update notification was so annoying and staying on the watch, so I finally updated. One sport tracking done. So far is working fine...
[Amazfit] SteffenBerlin:
For me something weird happend. After firmware update a few days ago, it was working better, more steps, correct HR. Since yesterday I have now much less steps counted. Approximately half than last week with same activity. Today so far almost no steps were counted. I have 152 instead of something like 3500. I think I need to restart the watch.
[Amazfit] pashapush:
What is being pronounced when the battery gets flat?

Hi guys!

I allways wanted to know what is being said when the battery gets flat. It is somethig weird. Sounds like "battery well". Probably they wanted to say "battery fail" or something like that.

Does anybody know what it is?
[Amazfit] fat100:
Besides the HR continuous broken issue.

- I also have battery drain on my mobile. I had to charge it 2 or 3 times a day.

- Bluetooth didn't appear on phone if I power my phone off at night and power on in the morning.

My only turnaround is to remove the phone battery.

This version is the worst that I used. With 2.3.5.0 it worked better.

I agree with others that the watch HW is great but SW (watch + amazfit app) is the worst.

My next watch will be other constructors.
[Amazfit] TumiBC:
That really sounds like a phone issue, not watch issue if I understood you correctly. And continuous HR is actually working by design now. Accuracy is a different issue.
[Amazfit] flyc:
Anyone have an issue where the continuous HR is logged on the watch but won't display properly on the app after sync?

Thanks.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] donk165:
I bought my Poco F1 roughly a month ago, and I flashed lineage os a couple of days ago. I really like lineage, it feels very solid and quick, not had any issues at all yet. The stock camera that is bundled with lineage works well, but doesnt have many options for changing settings. Ive only had a little go with the B.S.G camera ports, and the one I tried seemed to have an issue with the preview when taking pictures. I think I may have turned a setting on by mistake or something. I did have it fully working for a bit, and it worked really well. Overall, I think this phone is great, my only real gripes with it were software based issues, but with lineage, all of those issues have been solved for me.

I cant compare it against the Pixel 2 XL as ive never owned or used one. I can compare it against my previous phone, the OnePlus One :P And the Poco is miles apart from the One.

If you wanted a full pixel experience, there is a couple of roms which are made to be as close to pixel as possible. LinusTechTips on youtube did a video on it.

Dear forum users,

today I'm trying to recover some data on my neighbour's phone. His Nexus 5X went into random crashing and bootloops.

As my LG G2 recently failed with no warning and no backup, I bought a emmc reader. It works well, and I managed to also recover data from a dead Zenfone 2.

But today I'm facing a different challenge. I can see his userdata volume, but filesystem is not reconized. (from what I've read, it should be ext4).

My neighbour says he never run encryption on his phone.

So far, I've managed to make a raw image of his userdata volume.

LinusReader and Active Partition Recovery (I'm running win 10) doesn't show a filesystem info on this volume.

Does anyone knows how am I supposed to mount this volume to rewordrecover some files ?
