[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] could you explain to me what the new Overlay Fix module is for? I probably don't need it but I'm just curious and I don't understand the description.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
Some devices (oneplus is all I've seen so far) have some files that are mounted via overlay that interfere with magisk mount. The mod fixes that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Soumy1234:
Could you please give an example of a situation. I still don't really understand :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
So on some oneplus devices, some directories are mounted at boot as overlays (google overlay mounting if you're unsure of what it is). The problem here is that when an overlay is created, it effectively overwrites the destination which nullifies anything magisk has already mounted. So any modules that had files mounted to where the overlay is won't work.

I think of overlay mounting as combining multiple folders into 1.

So for example, during boot, an overlay mount is created for /product/priv-app:

/system/product/priv-app

/system/india/priv-app

/data/adb/modules/somemagiskmod/system/priv-app

/data/adb/modules/anothermod/system/priv-app

S the mount command would be:

mount -t overlay -o ro,context=u:object_r:system_file:s0,relatime,lowerdir=/data/adb/modules/anothermod/system/priv-app
:/data/adb/modules/somemagiskmod/system/priv-app:/system/india/priv-app:/system/product/priv-app overlay /product/priv-app

this would take all 4 of those directories and essentially combine them into 1 in /product/priv-app

Timing is important here. This overlay is made AFTER magisk has already mounted module files which means that the overlay pretty much overwrites them.

So what my mod does is effectively unmount all overlay and related magisk directories/files and remounts them as unified overlay mounts

Ok, so it makes sense to use your module on an OnePlus 5T OxygenOS 9.0.10 / Magisk 20.3?

Sent with much love and Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
Don't know about the 5t, but if you get feedback from this command in terminal, then yes:

su -c /proc/mounts | grep "^overlay "
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] n0j0e:
Ok, fired this command in the terminal. No feedback, no needed.

Curl fails to install on OnePlus 7 Pro with OxygenOS Open Beta 8. The installer doesn't seem to find the maximum API.

I've attached the installation log to this post.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
Well the installer worked as intended except the print statement so I'll push out a fix for that when I get the chance. Curl doesn't seem to work on Q so I have it set for pie and lower. Luckily for you, curl is already in oos

Edit: pushed fix

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
I'll need some more info. What exactly isn't working? Mounts looked fine, zip seemed to work as intended
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] weeka89:
Systemless debloat doesn't work at all with /system/product/ directory unless the file /data/india/india.img is deleted I thought the overlay fix should've solved it without me having to manually delete it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
Ok, I see the problem now. So with overlay mounting, all of the directories are merged into 1 with the first one listed being highest priority. So there'd be no way to remove a file from overlay mount with magisk .replace logic since it only uses lowerdir. I played around with upperdir but couldn't get it to work right. I'll see if I can get a better solution working

Can you try this one? After booting, a debug log file should be present in the module directory. If you could attach that so I could see what's going on, that'd be great (I can't replicate the issue on my end). If you have a telegram and want to PM me it to speed this up that'd also be cool

The compiled zip is for lollipop+. If you want it for older, go to the bash build script link in the OP and compile arm binary for Api 19 (or older)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
Updated the OP with some changes. I'm trying to cut down on the number of things I need to actively maintain and one of the ways I'm doing that is by combining all binary mods into 1: CCbins (Cross Compiled Binaries), couldn't really thing of a creative name for this one. Anyways, it's replacing all of the binary mods I have out there, namely curl and GNU but adds some new stuff as well.

The repo with all of the binaries is here if you just want to grab a few for a project your working on or whatever: https://github.com/Zackptg5/Cross-Compiled-Binaries-Android

The mod itself is a termscript magisk mod that'll be here for now until I feel comfortable releasing it to the magisk repo: https://github.com/Zackptg5/ccbins

Try it out and let me know what you think :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zackptg5:
CCBins is live on the magisk repo! As a result, curl and gnu mods are no more :D

[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Ulfrik:
Hi there!

After 2 months of globally enthusiastic use of our 8X, I just noticed watching the screen carefully that there was already quite a number of micro-scratches. I paid very much attention to it, it never fell, but still! It seems very fragile.

Some weeks ago already purchased on Amazon some screen protectors said to be for the 8X but they do not fit the screen and I sent them back.

What has been your experience, 8Xers?

[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] strippenzieher:
When taking pictures with the camera the nearest distance allows me 12 cm width pictures (approx. 4.7 inches). Even with my one of my other smartphones the nearest distance allows pictures with 6 cm (approx. 2.4 inches).

What are your experiences?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] emcom:
It's just the camera module parameter, minimal focusing distance. In case of XA2 (IMX300 module) it's about 10 cm, more or less.

That's it, nothing can be done about it, pure physics.

BUT ! Thanks to 23MPix, you can losslessly zoom the photo a little bit, and this helps to fight this focusing distance.

This phone has great camera, I think.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] strippenzieher:
emcon, I agree with you concerning the 23 MPix and the possibilty to (digitally) zoom the final picture / on smartphone screen.

With my former Xperia´s (Z3c, M5) I got better close-up results after the smartphone was back at Sony for support.

Generally, the camera makes great shots under normal conditions.

This reminds me to the former "fixfocus" analog cameras. With this type you need no adjustment of the distance at the camera and these cameras have been cheap compared with the SLR-cameras.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] infixremix:
The camera is very good until low light.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] emcom:
Not true. Even in low light it takes good looking photos, but only when updated to latest software. Before that, yes, it was so-so.

Some of my latest samples (maybe not photography masterpieces, but still you can check the quality...)

https://photos.app.goo.gl/3JnUEEQngCbdbsTX8
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nexus720:
It used to on Oreo, now on Pie it looks worse.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] emcom:
Yes, unfortunately. Something's wrong with low light photos as well as HDR photos. As I love Xperias, I recently got a XZ2 additionally and while it uses basically the same photo application under Pie, there are significant differences in the results, even starting with Superior Auto mode and its ability to trigger HDR when Backlit scenery is detected; on XA2 it gives no results - on XZ2 it shoots nice HDR photo.

I hope Sony will check how this new (quite nice, btw) application works on the XA2 and make necessary changes. For now I completely switched to XZ2 (which is nice, but some features I liked more on the XA2).

One thing is certainly improved : the quality of audio recorded with videos. Under 8.0 it sounded like recorded through plastic pipe - some strange audio effects audible in the ambient background.

Under 9.0 the audio is flawless. Sounds great.

how i start my phone?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Navy31:
Hello experts,

I have same problem.

My phone was rooted and bootloader unlocked.

As I saw that android pie is available by OTA, I wanted to lock my phone in order to receive update (by OTA).

So for that, I use command (fastboot oem lock). My MI A1 is now locked but i can't boot on it.

I guess the option 'OEM Unlock' is not ticked, that's why I can't install or flash any rom with Miflash.

I have message error : "failed (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)"

I tried a lot of advices found on different forums but none of them works.

If you have any idea how to solve my issue, you are welcome.

I think monochrome mode will always use the upper monochrome camera. For any other mode, the lower color camera will be used. For AI or standard mode, both cameras will be used to properly recognise objects.

Hi there

Thanks in addvance

Could any body help i think i read some ware in this forum that less files in windows folder meens that your device runs faster !!

I also think I read some program can only be installed to windows\ I Don't know which? programs need to be in which directory or is it all down to the reg enteries or is it dependent on the *.exe & *.dll files

If it is posible to install office mobile to something like \program files\OfficeMobile\ ?, Would there be any benifits for doing this ? or would i be wasting my time ?

It seems a lot of programs install into windows\
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Bird_FAT:
Easy - if you know how!

Various options here mate (listed in order of user level):

In WM5+ you can choose to install to the Storage Card by default - any programs that cannot be installed here will usually tell you when you try, and ask you to try again in the correct folder.

Go get yourself a copy of a program called Pocket Mechanic and it has an option that lets you move programs to your storage card (it changes all the links/shortcuts and reg entries for you) - it can also move the 'My Documents folder and IE cache, too - saving even more space.

Find a program called CECabManager (30 day trial) which lets you edit the cab files for programs and change their default install folder.

:(WARNING:(

ALWAYS backup your device before playing around with this stuff - it's a real P.I.T.A. when you have got yourself almost set up, then you destroy the system, or cause a glitch!

My best advice is to go buy a copy of Spb Clone and install that before you fiddle about! Also, backup your PIM data to Outlook, or with Spb Backup, too! Then you're pretty much safe to do what you want, as you can always go back if all goes tits up! :D

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Bird_FAT:
Speed or Space?!?!

No idea - anyone?

I think that if you have too little space, you'll be in trouble when some programs run as they may need to use it as RAM or a swap file - I've filled it to within a MB or 2 and it has slowed down the system!

See my post in this thread for how I keep space in my Storage area (at the bottom of the second post)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=388249

If you're looking to speed up your system, why not try an overclocking utility?

I've just got Pocket Hack Master - I'm testing it now! I've used Anton's Pocket Mechanic for ages now, and so I'm pretty confident in the quality of the app.

Don't fancy clocking my CPU realy wanting to know if it's worth the effort of hacking all my *.cab files and OEMs to install into sub folders rather than windows\ Idear been Keeping as little as posible in the windows\ "folder" I could have a sleep some times waiting for file explorer to finish opening windows\ was hopeing that if there's less in windows\ the device my run faster with a smaller directory ??

Thanks

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Bird_FAT:
Possibly...

You could always try using Pocket Mechanic!!

Instead of hacking the cabs, you could just use Pocket Mechanic - it will move the programs across to your SD card and change all the reg entries, links, etc. for you!

I find that there are some cabs that really don't like to be hacked! :p But, if that's the route you want to go down (saves having to do it all again in the future), then CECabManager is definitely the way to go! Pretty pricey software, but gives you a nice 30 day trial period to play with it! Just remember to remove any 'setup.dll's' from the tree in the left-hand window if you change anything - can cause the install to muck up if you don't!

And the best bit of software on the net in my opinion is Spb Clone (god I love Spb software - it's just so good!) - once you get your system looking and working how you want it to, just clone the whole thing on to some spare space on your card and you're safe from any general errors! Use Pocket Mechanic to move all your documents, mail and cache folders onto the SD card and you're even safer - go one step further and get Spb Backup to save teh PIM data onto your SD, too and you get ultimate safety (as long as you remember to save reguarly LoL!):

PIM synced with main PC or onto SD with Spb Backup

Documents, mail and cache on SD

Clone of system on SD

Any screw ups, any dodgy software, ANY problems and you just go back a few days!

:D SORTED!! :D​

Free even MORE space!!

Found a way to get even more space! Really helpful for me when I want to play certain games, as some of them were refusing to start as they needed more space than I had. I managed to claw back about 8meg, but then I have somewhat overloaded my BAs with about 250 apps/games! :-))

Using Pocket Mechanic, you can move the AppMgr file from the Windows directory of you BA onto your Storage Card - (the original folder structure will be recreated if you try to install anything new!) - when it's finished, just soft reset your BA and VIOLA! more space in the storage section.

***********NOTE***********

If you want to delete any of your apps - or even install a new version over the top of an old one, you have to move the corresponding folder from the AppMgr folder on your Storage Card back into Windows/ApMgr or the uninstall/reinstall will fail - If you haven't installed anything since you last moved the AppMgr folder, then you will have to create the AppMgr folder before moving the folder of the app you wish to delete.

Have fun,

Could be anything including a Live Wallpaper. Unlock the bootloader, wiping the device in the process. Set your phone back up and try to replicate the issue. Have not heard or experienced this. My advice is unlock ASAP so you don't have to set everything up again twice. You bought an unlockable device and plan to install ROMs eventually. Why postpone the inevitable?
