Hey all,

I got a weird problem. I don't know what caused it.

I set it up for another person to use it and it worked well. Sometimes, though, the phone freezes and touch and buttons do not work. There are no reactions to usb or charging. The only way to wake it up again, is to push the hidden red button which reboots it... (The Touchscreen is an aftermarket part, might be a driver issue).

But that happens ocasionally and can be overcome.

Now, the phone rebooted into recovery, when it was connected to power. Unfortunately, after a backup, the person rebooted it usind the red button again.

Now, the phone seems to have made a reset. The homescreens look "stock" again.

Then again, it connected to the google account and some settings, e.g. custom sounds, were there again.

Pictures and stuff came back again as well.

Now the phone says, it cannot login to google and all the contacts are missing. When I try to show the security code while logging into google, it says, there was a problem and it cannot be generated.

I am not 100% sure about all the symptoms and their order. But has anyone an idea, what might be the problem?

Right now, I try to reset it, since all data is backed up.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MSe1969:
Which build variant are you using? And did you flash anything in addition?

With regards to the touch screen,. please scroll back a bit, I have asked somebody also also using an "after market" touchscreen to provide some details.

We had in the cm-12.1 thread once an issue with that and maybe a similar solution could be applied here, but not sure yet. I need those details to be able to say something about that.

(Incompatible hardware can be an unspecific root cause of many very weird behavior patterns.)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MSe1969:
Magisk

Note to Magisk users:

There is an issue with Magisk 19.1 and above and Sony devices like the Z1c breaking boot into recovery, see here

A Solution is available and this solution will be included in next month's build.

For the time being it is recommended not to upgrade to Magisk 19.1 or 19.2
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] foresto:
I once saw android start behaving bizarrely, including launcher crashes and the home screen background image reverting to stock, with no apparent cause. It turned out to be a problem with the cache(s). Booting into recovery and wiping both the cache partition and ART/Dalvik cache solved the problem.

Other topic:

If someone wants to use ANT+ he or she needs to set proper permissions - else it won't work. I added some instructions in the OP as I think it can help some people to save a lot of time and trouble ;)

I have really no idea about how many persons are using it with lineage 15 or 16 on the Z1 compact. Nevertheless I thought about including the necessary apps by default as they are essential for using the ANT+ hardware.
[MENTION=7929484]MSe1969[/MENTION] and myself want to ship a clear lineage / microg lineage with no bloatware at all. But in my opinion the two ANT apps are necessary to use a part of the hardware and thus can't be considered as bloatware.

In addition to that you wouldn't have to install them from playstore / other strange sources then if you just want to use ANT.

What's your opinion about it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] foresto:
Can the ANT+ apps be included in such a way that they don't affect battery life or performance unless the user deliberately activates them? Can they be included without opening new privacy/security holes?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
I assume that there is no impact on battery life unless you use ANT+. Nevertheless we should check that with BBS maybe.

Definitely not. Both are prebuilt apps we don't have the source for. With every single additional part you add you'll increase the possibility to open security holes - even if it's open source. The bigger a system - the more holes it most likely will have. Nevertheless you should also consider what impact a hole may have. We don't talk about a full-featured web browser here.

New builds with June ASB available

Hi all, new builds with June ASB are available for download and flashing.

Both flavors contain, as announced, the Magisk fix for boot to recovery and we have decided not to include the ANT+ stuff. Those in need can download the missing apps, as explained in the OP and also some posts above, from play store (or alternative ways).

A. Standard build

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117893828

System Webview updated to 74.0.3729.157

microG build flavor

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117893829

Bromite Webview updated to 75.0.3770.86

Yalpstore replaced by Aurorastore. (Yalp isn't actively maintained anymore since October last year, and since mid of last month, the app search does not work any longer - the pre-installed AuroraStore also allows app installation w/o "unknown sources")

Due to a change in Safetynet, the Safetynet attestation does not work at the moment, hence the RemoteDroidGuard app isn't bundled with this build for now (packaging a non-working app doesn't make a lot of sense).

Updates of F-Droid, F-Droid privileged extension and microG GMS core

Happy flashing!

Regards, M.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] JIJOK:
Hello there, sorry if this was answered before but couldn't find ( it can also be noob question ) with the microG build I CAN'T never ever install gapps ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
No you can't. But there is no reason to do that as it won't give you any advantage - if you install microG you most likely want to get rid of gapps. Else you directly can install gapps on a clean build without microG.

MicroG is a open-source replacement for the playservices so it can't work together with an installed gapps package as a matter of principle.

If you currently are on a microG build and you want to switch look into the FAQ section Switching between build flavors.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEEJAY1210:
There are many tutorials on XDA on flashing a custom rom, it`s easy once you know how. YouTube also has some great vid`s to watch step by step.

My advice is 1st install a custom recovery like TWRP, concentrate on that first, you will need to download Odin software to flash TWRP to your phone, after that it`s as simple as downloading a zip rom to your sd card and flashing to your phone through TWRP recovery.

ALWAYS BACKUP your current working setup and read the entire rom description as SOME may have a few functions not working.

So far I have flashed about 5 diffrent rom`s to my i9505, all of which have been great, im currently using - [JDCTeam] Aosp Extended Pie Release 2.91 [9.0.0_r21] [unofficial] - with no problems.

But in my case USB debugging was set to on, so maybe I can do something, just don't know how? (or the Pie update reverted it to "off", I say that because Windows don't see the phone as a drive when I plug it in on the lock screen)

In any case: After the upgrade to Oxygen OS 9.0.0, the screen has become unresponsive. This has happened occasionally on the Oreo version, and a restart would fix the issue. Now, after restarting, the screen is still unresponsive, I'm not able to get into the phone because I'm not able to put in my pattern. I held the power button and volume up for 10 seconds and tried to enter Recovery mode, but I can't get pass the pattern, because the screen is unresponsive. How do I fix this?

You could do some research about Xposed. It allows installing a lot of plugins, I'm quite sure there's also a module that allows restricting app internet connection.

But you need to do some research on your own, as I don't follow the Xposed development for this device anymore, so I don't know how it is going in terms of stability and compatibility with custom ROMs.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Humpie:
For more info on swap memory, check this article.

I know swap memory shouldn't be necessary on Android, as we already have ZRAM, however, that still takes up RAM space and we only have 4GB at our disposal.

Plus, 512MB of ZRAM is not that much, even if it's compressed.

I use a lot of apps. Most of them don't run in the background, so that's fine. However, the one time they do run is just after a reboot. Then they all fire almost at the same time because they have on-boot listeners and this clogs up my ZRAM and RAM completely causing everything to crash up to System UI.

When System UI resets after a while, all the apps get the on-boot command again and it repeats... The only solution I have right now is using System Monitor 2 to stop the processes continuously for a minute or so, until all the apps have gotten their on-boot command and the phone runs normally.

I've tried the background check and battery savings settings for those apps, but they still run on boot :/ I also looked at some apps that could block apps from starting on boot, but they all seemed a few years old, back from when phones still had 1GB of RAM.

So, as SWAP helped my laptop from crashing every time my RAM filled up, I thought it would help my phone as well!

The stock kernel however doesn't seem to support swap (which I checked with "su cat /proc/cpuinfo" as described in the article).

Next I tried ElementalX which also doesn't seem to support it.

Any other kernels I should try?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
I'm not sure about Kernels with swap support but I use an app called SD Maid to turn off apps run at boot command. That app is constantly updated and does the job well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Humpie:
How do you do that exactly? In appControl I can see which apps run at boot and I can uninstall or freeze the app, but not disable it booting as far as I can see
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
It's under app controls receiver manager. You can turn off start at boot and any other services it has.[IMG="screenshot"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uGrxAvzG1xp_qhc-QfnTddN7eci19I-S/view?usp=drivesdk[/IMG]

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Humpie:
Yess got it! Thanks! Let's test if that can solve my problem. I'm still curious towards a swap enabled kernel though, also for other reasons
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Humpie:
Hmm for some reason all apps still wake after the boot is finished, even though I blocked them all with SDMaid. Really odd...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
That is odd. SD Maid has worked really well for me. I don't know if it makes any difference but I'm using the Pro version. I've had it so long I can't remember what the difference between the free and pro versions are
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Humpie:
I'm also using pro, so that's the same. But yeah, when booting I notice apps like AliExpress still starting when I disabled its boot receiver with sdmaid and even blocked it from running in the background in two places of the Android settings (battery saving and background check)

We might be able to help but you need to post your model number, without that information we won't know what you can or can't use on your device or tell you how to do it.

Android isn't like PC, you can't just wipe it and install whatever you want.

You can only install ROMs that are specifically built for your specific device model number.

Do you know if there are any custom ROMs for your specific model number? If not, do a Google search for:

"Custom ROMs for (your model number)"

If any exist for your device, that should find it/them. If it doesn't find anything for your specific model number then there probably aren't any ROMs for your model number.

Hi,

yesterday i received my Amazfit Verge.

I could not test it completely before an upgrade to OS 3.2.0.7 (I was running 3.2.0.5) came in.

I tested this watch on 2 phones (samsung s9 plus and a Motorola G4 plus).

Before testing I did a reset of the watch.

Both show the same problem, when testing the warnings the incoming call warning does not work.

When a call comes in the warning also does not work on the watch, all other warnings work.

Is this a problem with the watch or is it a software glitch in 3.2.0.7 and how to solve this?
[Amazfit] lfom:
Do you have latest version of Amazfit app installed on phone with all permissions granted? If yes, try adding the phone/contacts/favorites to the notification settings in the app.
[Amazfit] Nacken:
Interesting - I just checked it with my Verge on 3.2.0.7. The first time I tried, it took relatively long - about 10 secconds - before I received the notification on my watch. The seccond time it came right away.

Have you tried to let it ring a little longer?
[Amazfit] deboopi2:
I'm running on release 2.6.7

Phone/contacts/favorites are hidden by the smart filter, they should not get selected.

I selected them anyway but the result is exactly the same

Did you marked in Watch App, notification section call/phone? Do you getting all others notifications like message, calendar and ect.? In 3rd screenshot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huami.watch.hmwatchmanager you can see notification area. Here you must add all apps from yours phone from which you want to get notifications. If will not help, try reset factory settings of watch. For me working everything fine. Also, if in watch you will not see caller name, need to give permission of that (in smartphone). By the way i hope you understand that watch with smartphone must be connected via bluetooth? :)

P.S. I got 3 updates, now i got latest where was integrated Alexa (working in US only). With all software versions which i had and have working all notifications very well, included call. I guest you will not added it in Watch App notification section that. I have not Xiaomi brand smartphone too. Brand of smartphone havn't any effect in getting notifications :) I hope :) But maybe China manufactor don't like Samsung, so... you can chat with Amazfit support us.amazfit.com. But i'm really don't want to believe that this is true. Maybe something bad is with Samsung smartphones, cos this problem have a lot of people here :)
[Amazfit] agv83:
I had a Xiaomi Mi9 before and all worked very well!!

Now that i switched to a S10 with all the same settings that i had before, the notifications (whatsapp, telegram, gmail..ecc..) are perfect BUT if someone calls me the Verge vibrate for a second, the screen lights up and...stop!! no name, not even number calling.....when the call attempt ends it also notify me the missing call....!! I am pretty sure this problem is connected to samsung phones with pie but i really hope there is a way to fix it because i would hate to sell my Verge.....
[Amazfit] xdauser2019:
I starting to think that this is not Verge problem, but problem is with Samsung smartphones, even newest models. I have none Xiaomi smartphone and it's working fine. It's not Samsung too. So i advise you to chat with Samsung support too, but ofcourse try to talk with Amazfit support us.amazfit.com (it's US, but only this support have live chat) if will be closed chat, try en.amazfit.com via mail support, but keep in mind today is saturday, so answer via mail or chat will be opened only from monday.
