[XPERIA X1 General] theomni:
Hello. Does the Xperia make that shutter sound when you take a picture or does it flash light when you record a video? Is there a way to disable it or is it a permanent feature that you can't take away?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] Kris1986:
i had problems too.... i dunno how to overwrite the sound.blob file....

anyone pls teach mi how..... the shutter sound is too irritating.....
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Just delete the file.

Works fine for me since the R2AA.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ethermind:
make system sound at level 0 for example

or in registry try shutter sound = 4

or make empty sound.blob and rewrite it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kris1986:
how to make system sound at level 0?

i can't delete the sound.blob file.... how to rewrite it???

can someone teach mi step by step??

thanks....
[XPERIA X1 General] Ethermind:
press volume button down until "no sound" option checked

no needs to delete it

only copy new sound.blob in the same place

sound.blob i think located in ROM memory, after copying OS will be read sound.blob from FLASH memory

ps use total commander CE for this operations

and in this case you must reboot for apply changes
[XPERIA X1 General] darthmelk:
How to get rid of the autofocus sound? Or change the file so it is less loud? I don't always remember to turn the sound off before taking pictures...

[Vivo X80 Pro] PassingComplexion:
As write in title, I answer this to the owners of Funtouch Rom, because I had time ago a chinese software high end phone and get push notifications working was very difficult.

I would like to buy the phone from China where it costs less (EUR 850) but.. important is that all standard android stuff are working out of the box (or almost).

Thanks!!
[Vivo X80 Pro] xperia81:
If you buy it in china you will not have Funtouch OS. You will have OriginOS.

Or do they sell now funtouch X80Pro's in china? I've never seen that.

With OriginOS notifications will not work out of the box, but it can be done, there are tutorials for the X70Pro outside which work also for the X80Pro.

I also have a chinese X80Pro with working app and web based push notifications.
[Vivo X80 Pro] PassingComplexion:
Yes, they sell Funtouch OS vivo X80 Pro in some (fee/tax free) chinese shops. (I think I can't link here the shop I'm talking about).

I'm asking to those that have made this rout.

My doubt is that there is a Funtouch global and one chinese, where the problem are the same as Origin OS Ocean
[Vivo X80 Pro] PassingComplexion:
I sent pm to @xperia81, if any is interested, send pm me and I tell you what to search on google to find the shop (not link for safety).

From China costs EUR 850, otherwise the price in Europe is about EUR 1300

In the specs is indicated clearly that the phone have Funtouch Os.
[Vivo X80 Pro] adkana4310:
I saw that there is a methot to change Origin OS to Funtouch OS right? I do not rememeber the post, anyone could give us the link or guide? please.

My x80 arrive soon from china, on my country x80 global costs 1700 USD lol stantarda 12/256
[Vivo X80 Pro] PassingComplexion:
Actually, sadly is impossible to switch. Since there is no bootloader unlocking method
[Vivo X80 Pro] wimbawaya:
I'm having issues with notifications on the X80 Pro with Funtouch OS (phone bought in Europe). Some work, some don't. I've tried going through all settings (power restrictions, notifications, background data usage) and the notifications for certain apps just refuse to work...

[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
so i was trying to put google experience and when trying to install twrp it wouldnt show up on my phone, so i decided to flash phone with adb and put custom rom with adb. i failed and now im left with no os and stuck in fastboot (before saying **** i have no idea what im doing its my first time doing this)
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Can you boot into recovery?

And what recovery do you have?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
yeah i can boot into recovery, i have android normal recovery, the one with yellow and blue
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Okay, download the stock ROM of your phone online and copy it onto your phone, then wipe data, then flash it.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
its not that easy lol, i dont know what i am supposed to do. i am downloading the stock rom, but you lost me when you said copy it on your phone, i dont have twrp. even without twrp idfk, when i connect it to my pc its not detected, even in fastboot or android recovery. i tried 6 cables and i know for sure they all work
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
You don't need TWRP.

Do you have an SD card and an SD slot?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
i dont think i have sd slot and also no sd card
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Which one don't you have, an SD slot or SD card?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
i dont have a sd card but i also dont think it has a sd slot, i cant check since i dont have anything to open the sim slot
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Ok, you need a PC and adb tools installed.

Download the stock and follow this video (click on the word "video" to visit the video) after installing the ADB tools on your PC.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
okay ill try it
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] kerta1n:
After you install ADB on your computer, plug your phone into your computer and run "adb devices". It might take a bit for the command to list your phone as it has to start the ADB server first. Once you see it, copy the full filepath of your stock ROM, and run "adb push ROMLOCATION /sdcard/"
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:

[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Did you install the USB drivers?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
yes
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Are you on unlocked bootloader?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
So do you just want to fix your phone and flash stock or want a custom ROM?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] sushicool:
well id get a custom rom but i dont think theres any that support this phone
[Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, Selfie Pro Questions & Answ] 3060PlayZ:
Could try this(click on the word).
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dra1c:
I switched from a Pixel 4 to a Sony 1-IV but the always on display is seriously a joke. On Pixel and other devices getting a notification will wake up the screen to show the notification text for a few seconds before turning back to the normal AOD again. Sony is lacking that. Is there a way to get Pixels AOD on the Sony via Magisk or something or a different solution to get that functionality back?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Ronny220:
Samsung and Sony phones have a similar AOD manner where they do not show previews of the notification.

Have you tried the cometin app?

that is no true lock screen. A normal app can't fulfill that role.
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
I have the UK v6.75 maps already, and there are a LOT of errors with them.

For example we living in a brand new house (completed beginning of 2008) and our street, plus half the streets surrounding us just don't exist on TomTom. I can't even set my home location because it doesn't exist.

I noticed on the TomTom site there are no further updates planned for the Navigator 6 maps (which are basically what I have).

I looked at the Navigator 7 maps option and they are supposed to be for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only and you have to select specific network.

So my question... Do the new v8.15 maps work ok with the HD (TomTom 7.450) and if so which device should I select when purchasing on TomTom?
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
Depending on your version of tt7. Only the latest version 7.9 will apparently work with 815 maps. The navcore has been re-written to read the version 8 maps. Selecting the pro or diamond will give you the same maps. Beware, maps can now only be downloaded within tomtom home, and the only version of this that will connect to the hd, is version 1.15 (pda version), not 2.4. Check that you can connect before your purchase.
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
only the ones ending in 2003, 2024, and 2059
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
Thanks for the responses.

I think perhaps I should play it safe then and wait for official HD support from TomTom, I'm sure once they officially have a version available it'll be no problem to use the latest maps!
[Touch HD General] dragon_soft:
WRONG! Only the ones ending in 2024 work with 7.9 all the others are for the PNA navcore.
[Touch HD General] mmdirk:
My PDA version of TomTom Home is version 1.5 which worked perfect with the HD.
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
appologies, i meant version 1.5
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
Well, then I guess I have a magic HD then :p

Oh, have you read this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445460

You can add Brazil 2095 to the list. To your credit, some 2003 maps don't work.

BTW, there is no need to yell, especially when you are wrong!
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
The problem I had was finding a version of TomTom that worked! The only one I've been able to get to work is 7.45, couldn't find a 7.9 version that worked (tried the Diamond/Raphael cabs and they wouldn't install). Anyone know where I can get 7.9 which works?
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
If you have 7.45 installed, you can try extracting the tomtom navigator application and the data file from the 7.9 cab, and over write the existing files in the navigator folder.
[Touch HD General] peter7:
Interesting - I have one map under storage card, my documents and it is recognised - then I copy my other map 6.75 at the same place and it is not recognised !

WHY ?

Under the root directory is the old map - do I have to remove it may be ?

I`m using TT 7.45
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
I'll give this a go, thanks :)
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
You have to install new maps via TT Home so they are licensed properly.

I transfered by maps from my Kaiser, TT Home asked for the license key again to install them on my HD.
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
It didn't work :(

Said it wasn't compatiable with my device when I ran TT.

[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] StarSage:
I have the 2020 US Edition of the Moto G Power (codename Sofia) and I've yet to find any resources for a custom ROM

Does anyone else have this device? Have you had any luck updating past Android 11? I know 12 is not being officially released

I had the option of buying a 2021 handset but all the reviews suggested the 2020 hardware was superior
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Leroy_Sparks:
Start here: Subforum

(I have a sofia device running A11 Havoc OS beautifully, btw)

Note: a)sofia & sofiar are interchangeable, b) if you are on official software released since early 2022 you may have anti-rollback installed which makes going to custom ROM difficult (impossible?) - a A12 ROM is in development that should be installable.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] GE01:
Hi there,

I'm interested in installing Lineage 18.1 on several flo Nexus 7s for my family, but I would like to lock the bootloader afterwards on each one. The reason I want to do this is because this device seems to erase all userdata if an unlock is issued, and I want to take advantage of that security feature. I successfully relocked the bootloader on the stock version of Marshmallow (6.0.1 I believe) after unlocking and installing SuperSU a long time ago by unlocking, 'fastboot boot'ing TWRP, installing SuperSU, and relocking. Presumably this worked because only the system partition was modified, and a check isn't done on the whole partition.

Now I'd like to upgrade to Lineage 18.1, but as this is more drastic, and involves repartitioning the flash, I searched around first about the risks but couldn't find a definitive answer for these devices. I've read about a lot of bricked phones of other brands when people have tried to relock the bootloader after installing custom ROMs. I'm not sure if that applies to this device. I'd prefer userdata was cleared rather than encrypting the whole device, as it is somewhat old, and I'd like to prevent 'fastboot boot'ing into a custom recovery without unlocking, as that might allow tampering of the other partitions, even if userdata was encrypted.

If this doesn't work and device is softbricked, but is recoverable, then it's not so much of a problem, but I'd prefer not to create a doorstop if someone else has tried it or knows if it's safe.

So, is it possible to safely issue the fastboot oem lock or fastboot flashing lock command after repartitioning, flashing Lineage, installing MindTheGapps and Magisk? And will the firmware still know how to properly erase userdata after reparitioning and flashing if it has moved? And if all else fails, is there a way of recovering from this type of brick?

Edit: Clarity.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
The bootloader lock it is not an effective security feature...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] GE01:
Thanks for the reply!

Yup, I've heard that's the case.

However, I was under the impression that you had to unlock the bootloader in order to boot an alternative recovery. Since the bootloader forces the userdata to be cleared if you unlock, and the default recovery can't install anything, I thought that you may not be able to access the device without clearing userdata. I could also zero the recovery partition entirely, since Fastboot would allow me to boot recovery via USB if it the bootloader was unlocked. Basically I wanted to prevent easy access to userdata and encourage factory resetting the device if it got lost.

I am aware that even after a factory reset, it doesn't seem to properly erase the userdata (it seems like it is just a filesystem rebuild), so that's hardly great security since the eMMC could be read. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Qualcomm/factory tools allow you to get to the filesystem before the bootloader, however, again, I thought that the bootloader had to be zeroed for that to work, and the Qualcomm tools only allowed access if the onboard bootloader failed. Maybe I am wrong about that.

Do you have any other thoughts? For now I've left the devices unlocked as I don't want to risk bricking them. That was the main concern. I wanted to get rid of the unlocked padlock blatantly advertising the unlocked status before the bootloader was accessible, and if the device(s) were stolen then it is likely someone would just take the easy route and trash the data.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Qualcomm tool flashes a temporary, permissive bootloader, then RAM-booted TWRP patches a 'lock' byte and no user data is lost in the process. Just encrypt it.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 11757883:
Hello,

I have a Lenovo K6 Power (an unofficial device), i had installed LineageOS (2020-08-05 build with 05 August security patch) about 5 months ago but i decided to update it to a newer build (2020-08-20 build with 05 August security patch). Is it ok to dirty flash the downgrade? i.e. is it ok if i flash the 5 august build without formatting and/or wiping data? I also have GApps installed (if that was needed).

The problem is that there is no bootanimation and the older build felt a bit more complete than the newer one. Also been a bit busy so clean flashing is not something i can afford.

Thanks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wormling:
Hello everyone. After some researching, this seemed like the best site to answer my question, as I have not found an answer yet.

Yesterday morning, I was running my ATT 8525 (which I believe you refer to as "hermes") just fine. I was using the internet sharing feature, and went to reset the phone. I "believe" I pressed the power button while pressing the "ptt- push to talk" - button. The phone turned off, and when I turned the phone back on, rather than loading like it normally did, I got a new screen.

The screen has 4 color bars. A red bar at the top, then a green bar, then a blue bar, and last, a white bar of color on the bottom. Each bar takes up 1/4 of the screen and runs horizontally. At the top, the phone says, in white text:

HERM100

1PL-1.04

HERM100

SPL-2.03

At the bottom of the screen, in the white bar of color, in black text, it says

SERIAL

Now, when I press the power button to turn the phone off, nothing happens. I have to remove the battery to shut off the power. If I plug in a USB cable, the SERIAL text changes to USB. If I press the top two buttons, the one above window and the one above ok, while pressing the stick in to reset the phone, that screen works ok. I believe it is called a "hard reset" It asks if I want to erase all data and restore factory settings, and if so, press r. I press R on the keyboard, and the screen then says reset complete, press space. I press space and then I am back to the screen with 4 color bars. Nothing else I have tried works either. I have been stuck on this screen with 4 color bars since yesterday.

I took my cell phone in to ATT to be looked at and the sales people at the store say that I am 7 days past my warranty, and that they can't/won't repair the phone, but they would be happy to sell me a brand new one... for several hundred dollars.

So, the folks on the internet are my last hope =( If anyone reading this knows anything, even if it is a link to another site or something, that may help me resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, I at least thank you for your time reading my post.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wormling:
Oh, as an additional thought, if it helps, I have not used any of these :baked: roms or any such thing. I bought my phone and used it as is. The one and only change I ever did to my phone was I followed ATT's steps on upgrading from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6, if I remember their names correctly. Hope this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wormling:
Bootloader. This is the name of the screen according to my research.

"Is your device able to boot Windows Mobile OS?

This one is easy: If can you see your today screen and use your phone as a PDA means you can boot OS. If you only see the splash screen, bootloader screen (tri-color) or windows mobile splash screen you can't boot OS."

Got this from the thread at

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick

So, I guess I am stuck at the bootloader screen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Try a Hard reset - hold both soft keys and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks to reset to factory (whatever). Press "r" on the slideout keyboard and then space. You should go back throught the setup PPC steps.

YOU WILL LOOSE ALL INFORMATION ON YOUR HERMES...This is unescapable as you would any other way you tried to recover your Hermes too.

I suggest if you get it working to install Hard SPL V7 (makes recovery easier) and also pim backup so you can restore all your contacts/messages if something goes wrong again.

Cheers... & good luck.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wormling:
I have tried hard resetting many times, and it does not work. It says that it succeeds and that factory settings have been restored, and then I am back to the bootloader screen. I have been to the wiki on bricked hermes phones and recovering from a brick. From that, I ascertain I have a type 2 bricked phone (goes directly to bootloader screen). I tried the MTTY tool, and it says that the NAND write was successful on both commands, but, I am still stuck at bootloader screen. I have since tried installing a few different roms, even in SSLL and HARDSPL modes, and nothing has worked.

What I have not tried is the JPIN fix, as I am not an engineer and don't have the tools or knowledge on how to do that. I also don't know how to do the microsoft operating system download fix (using an emulator?)

** UPDATE **

I think it might have been the mtty commands, but I took the battery out overnight, and when I put the battery back in to try the KITL attempt, the phone booted up and started to do the config. I was happy and thought that the phone was fixed, but when it was done with the configurating the phone, it reset back into boot loader screen -_-
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
You may need to check for bad blocks. This sometimes causes the problems you descibe as well as spontaneous Hard Resets and occasional soft resets.

Do a search for "how to fix bad blocks hermes" and you should get the info you need...
