Hello
Im getting hard time trying to configure the email client after full wipe+root+tiamat kernel 1.4.4
Hc 3.1 refuses to accept my smtp settings (port 25) and it as working perfectly before rooting.
The imap settings for inbox are accepted though
Any idea are welcome
Not sure if these will help you , but you can always give it a try.
Is due to my ISP provider. Time Warner Cable.
So it wont allow me to do it over wi-fi.
so i set it up while thatering and that work.
+1
Had the same issue.
OK after some tests here are my results:
I've checked my ISP box to see if port 25 was filtered, no it wasn't
I've tried to configure thetering my phone via USB on the xoom
Still no luck
Then I've tried to configure it with the application Enhanced Email and it did accept my Smtp settings (even could send an email)
So the problem is really coming from the built in email client :-(
Error: the authentication method are not accepted by the server (translated from french sorry)
Any other idea?
Thanks
Well, I finally could sort it out !
There's definitely a problem with HC 3.1 built-in email client accepting my SMTP server.
Here is what I've done for people who encounter the same problem. Maybe this could also fix the Exchange problem for some :
I went back to stock HC 3.0.1 with the image file (everything will be deleted!):
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Once booted, I'm on HC 3.0.1
From here I just configure my mailboxes: everything went smooth and it did accept my smtp settings.
After that, I upgraded to HC 3.1 (apply update.zip on a USB key) rebooting into recovery and using my usb OTG cable
Then I could go back to root flashing solarnz recovery and applying the usual stuff!
I'm back on HC3.1 rooted with my good email client settings !
Too bad there's something wrong with the default email client into HC3.1, but at least, there's a work around
Hi all, just wanted to make a quick guide if you need to revert back to the stock ROM on the Huawei Mytouch Q U8730 for those of who might be panicking when another ROM install doesn't go right. Note: No matter what state your phone is in, this is a surefire way to recover your phone, so it is a great fallback plan incase all hell breaks loose on your device.
Steps to take
1. Connect your device to your computer
2. Make sure your device is powered off, then hold down the power+volume up and down keys (you will enter a pink screen)
3. On your computer, "Removable Disk" should have popped up (if not, drivers are probably installing, so wait a few minutes).
4. Once you get into that Removeable Disk there should be a single folder titled "image". Delete everything in it and replace it with the files from this zip
5. Unplug your phone and take out the battery. Then put the battery back in and hold power+volume up
6. You should be on a screen that kind of looks like CWM but isn't, on this screen use the volume keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition", once it is highlighted tap the power button once.
7. Once that process has been completed, navigate down to "factory reset/wipe" and tap the power button for that.
8. Once that process has been completed, navigate back up to "reboot system now" and tap the power button for that option.
9. You should boot up into a factory reset version of the stock android 2.3.6 without CWM recovery installed.
hope this helps, and if it did please hit that thanks button

Glad I could help. If you are having the problem of not being able to get service, follow these steps:
Code:
If you go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Acess point names, what do you see? Probably nothing.
if you dont see anything, then....
hit menu > add APN
you will need to add the following APNs
if it says <skip> then just leave it blank and do not set to anything

I tried this but failed, it completely refuses to save the settings when I try to add the APNs manually.
Q&A for [MOD]/[HOWTO] Unlock your native hotspot app [UPDATE 11/10]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [MOD]/[HOWTO] Unlock your native hotspot app [UPDATE 11/10]. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
wtb better instructions.
yeah dude. I was thinking the instructions weren't very well explained.
You need to give some indication as to which version is appropriate to download.
Your initial instructions are pretty vague and leave one guessing/assuming to upload the latest version of the update. Which softbricks the CFRooted S5s (sprint).
....
ALso there are issues with both of the ADB downloads you recommend. the SDK has issues with path length on install. The other installs fine but in windows there is no path 'ie e:\'
so .... how to unbrick

Unbrick with odin.
The downloads are named after the version of the rom you are on.
I didn't really recommend those adb, other people did so I provided the link.
Theres video tutorials floating around, not done by me. FWIW, I barely have time to make this mod and I don't even use the stock roms anymore, so I dont really have the time to hold peoples hands. You should do research before you flash anything on any phone.
If you wanna write something up that you feel would make it easier for an inexperienced person to understand, feel free to shoot me a link and I will include it in OP. Until then you are the first person I have heard of to softbrick, I am assuming this is because you flashed the wrong version. This which version do I flash question has been asked several times in the thread, so the answer is there, but to recap:
The last three letters of your rom version should match the three letter code on the download file.
Use the version tagged odex for odexed roms, and deodex for deodexed roms.
The first versions modify your APNs, they should work on any version of the stock rom, however it is unreliable and will need to be reflashed after a PRL update.
Flash the zip from recovery.
I will update the OP to have less directions since they seem to have mislead you, my apologies.
Native Hotspot S5 NE5
Hey I just flashed the 1.4 version for NE5 for the Sprint version of the S5.
My issue is that there is no toggle in the notification pull down. Is there anyway I can add it?
Thanks
Yes there is. I don't know how, but search for variations of "how to add toggles"
Please help
I have a Sprint Note 3 running on 4.4.4 with a Build Number ending with NH7. Does anyone know of a way to get the hotspot to work with this build? Any help would GREATLY BE APPRECIATED!

Have you tried Galaxy tools? It works on the S5 with 4.4.4. It is not in the play store, search for it on XDA and install.
No, I haven't used galaxy tools yet. I will give it a try now. Thanks for trying to help man, I appreciate it.
Sprint detailed procedure to unlock your native hotspot?
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 version 4.4.2, NE5 type stock and want to perform the unlock your native hotspot routine by miked63017.
I have completed his step 1 under prerequisites and the root went fine I think. I am a little concerned since I am a first time rooter and pretty much a
Nooby to the process. I am a little concerned about step 2 and beyond:
Can I use the TWRP from the playstore for this custom recovery?
Can i make a backup with TWRP also or Titanium backup?
Would the .zip be unlockHotspot-1.4-NE5-ODEX.zip and would I flash it with ODIN?
Here is the process as best I can tell from the XDA posts. The asterisks are my notes :
NOTE---
This has been tested by a few people in the original thread with success, your mileage may vary. As always, you are responsible for your phone, and it's warranty.
--PREREQUISITES--
1 Your phone must be rooted, I have followed the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2696537
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. See the third post for exact supported model numbers. If your device is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) ! NE5***************
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices (Galaxy S1, S2, S3, S4, Galaxy Note, Note2, Note3, dozens of Tab models, etc!) and has clocked over 22.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter and trips the KNOX warranty flag!
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
CF-Auto-Root homepage
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
CF-Auto-Root main thread
[CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root
ODIN Installation (detailed)
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!

2 You must have a custom recovery installed, I have used the one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2697762

So here is the step by step:
1. Make a backup------with the above TWRP from play store? *****************
2. Download the appropriate zip for you rom version. The three letter code in the filename should match the last three letters of your rom version. Odex version is for odexed roms, deodex version for deodexed roms.

3. Flash the zip and reboot. ****** Using ODIN? *****************
Thanks to @Scolias for jumping on the zip creation so fast, and being the first one to test the modification (other than me)
**UPDATE***
For the original mod version:
If you update your PRL you will need to reflash and reboot:
Thanks for the heads up @Y.G.
**UPDATE 2***
Added Icon in Notification panel, Thanks @eyecon82 for providing the SQL data for Notification panel. Also added some SQL to try to enable bluetooth and usb tethering, let me know how they work. Download and flash version 1.2 for these updates.
***Update 3***
Since it has already been pulled into a DeOdex for our phone, and the same modification used on the s3 KitKat I figured I would post the services.jar files here too. You need to be on DeOdex for these to work, and note that the latest DeOdex available for our Sprint S5 from @sleshepic already has this built in. These are mostly just for reference, and so all the hotspot downloads are in one easy to find place.
ND2 Services.jar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1398719510
NCB Services.jar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1398822075
Rename the file to Services.jar for your baseband version, backup your old copy and put the new one in. Using the Services.jar survives PRL updates and does not require the usage of the previous mods.
If anyone needs it I can post the changes in the smali files here, its pretty simple though using grep in tethering.smali, it involves setting a var to 0x0 from 0x1, in the tethering.smali by the dun_required string.
***Update 4***
Big thanks to @rocket321 for helping me out with odexing. I have made a flashable zip that uses services.jar instead of modifying the APN. Flashing the new version will remove all APN modifications from the previous versions and install the new services,jar for odex or de-odex versions. Currently I have only built for ND2 roms, if there is any need for NCB let me know and I will work on it. New files attached below, just flash from recovery and tether . Enjoy and if this helps you please give thanks, and don't forget to thank @rocket321 as well.
Anybody making ROMs feel free to incorporate the files below, otherwise they should be able to be flashed right on top of the rom, assuming there are no modifications to the services.jar file in the desired ROM..
***Update 5***
Added NCB zips, built jars and odexes using my new tool modStudio
***Update 6***
Added NE5 versions to downloads, big thanks to @crawrj and @townsenk for making them
***Update 7***
Added NI3 versions, need testing the size of the ODEX package has shrunk and I am not sure why. Please let me know if you guys notice anything weird, so far so good for me but YMMV. Added back new dynamic way of adding to the notification panel, again let me know how this works out.
***Update 8***
Added new NI3 versions for testing, make a backup before testing JIC
***Update 9***
Cleaned up OP a little

flashing NI3 appears to disable private mode
new poster, but def been checking this forum out for a while. ive been doing a fair amount of testing to solve my private mode not working issue. i flashed stock rom NI3 using Odin one-click mentioned in the forum, added philz and CFroot and tested root. all is well and private mode is still working.
after flashing the unlockHotspot-1.6-NI3-ODEX.zip mod, private mode is broken. i ran a nandroid back to before flashing the NI3 zip, and all is well. i then decided to install the unlockHotspot-1.6-NI3-ODEX.zip mod again to test my theory, same results...private mode not functional.
i did a thread search and did not see this mentioned previously. just a warning for all those out there that do use private mode and want wifi tether functionality.
also is anyone aware of a workaround?
Thanks!

Anybody available to test my new hotspot project? PM me with your email address if you are interested, let me know what build you are on and what device, this should work for any sprint device but I have only tested on my SM-G900P running the NKD Lollipop build.
Forgot to mention, you must be rooted.

Verizon S5 Hotspot Validation Error Msg
So i have a Verizon S5 whenever i try to turn on my Hotspot Validation Error pops up after configuration. i am not in the USA so i cannot contact Verizon and im using a dofferent sim in my GS5. Any solutions to fix my problem???
I saw it on Sprint support forum.It's not official solution,but it helped me.
1.Enter ##3282# on dialpad
2.Choose "Edit" and enter your MSL
3.Go to "Multimedia" and enter 0.0.0.0 for both addresses.For ports use 0.
4.Restart phone.
For my phone it boost up 3G speeds from 3Mbps/0,5Mbps(Download/Upload) to 5Mbps/1,5Mbps.It stable works on my phone.Hope,it will help for other.

SuperSU + Data partition encryption disabler or no Dmverity https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-lg-g5-t3363047
Universal adb drivers for windows https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
A little bit of patience.
Unlocking your bootloader and installing your recovery
Starting off, you'll want to install the ADB drivers (which will always help down the line) and activate USB debugging by going to settings/about/software and clicking on build number until you get the toast about developer mode. Now go back to settings and head to developer mode and clicking debugging+enable oem unlock. once finished plug your device in using your USB and open up a privileged command prompt (windows key + x).
I'd recommend copying any relevant data from your phone because the next step will lead to a clean format.
From here you can type in adb reboot bootloader and switch to fastboot before now typing in fastboot oem unlock.
Yay, your bootloader is unlocked.
Now, upon starting your phone, a new notification will pop up that looks worrisome. It's not, the screen is just a warning that your device cannot be covered under warranty basically. (Just reflash to stock and lock your bootloader fastboot oem lock to remove this warning and return fully to stock)
From here you can install your preferred recovery. Since TWRP is what's available, we'll go with that.
Now you can go to your downloads folder on your computer and decompress the TWRP archived (if it's been compressed), for ease of access we're gonna extract the file to C:/ which will allow the command prompt to pull the file without having to sort through your files.
Double check the file name making sure it is set as recovery.img, now go back to your command prompt and type in fastboot flash recovery C:/recovery.img
Once the prompt finishes with the install, you can type in fastboot reboot recovery
Once in recovery, swipe to allow system modifications and go to wipe before formatting the data partition. Now you can go to the folder on your computer which contains the SuperSU and no Dmverity packages you downloaded prior. Open a new file explorer directing to your device's memory, since you installed the LG drivers you can simply drag and drop the pertaining files directly into your aristo's storage even though you're still in TWRP. The moment you've been waiting for, just flash no Dmverity then SuperSU. Congrats, you've just rooted your phone and didn't start nuclear war.
Custom and stock roms
You're gonna need these

Xtremelora's iPioneer stock rom. Based on the metro 10i firmware
Flash from recovery, wipe data and cache for a clean wipe or just install for a dirty flash.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ipioneer-stock-10i-v1-t3637393
Xtremelora's iPioneer slim rom based on the metro 10i firmware
Do a full wipe for the first time around to avoid conflicts with the original set up. After that, you can just flash the rom for a dirty flash.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ipioneer-slim-10i-v1-t3662043/post73530917#post73530917
Note 1; Both roms can be flashed without wiping system due to @xtremelora thinking ahead and adding a line to wipe system in the update script.
Note 2; both roms can be flashed on the TMobile model (the LV3), but you'll have to make changes to the apn settings to make it work.
[email protected]'s lineage 14 port
This is gonna be a step out of the ordinary. I've tried turning this into a flashable zip, but without a proper update binary, it's gonna remain a backup package.
To start off, you're gonna want to make a backup of your current system on TWRP. (This will help twice over)
Once the backup is finished, reboot. Follow this link and download from herehttps://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73943988&postcount=65
Once that's finished, decompress the archive. Take the folder you created and move it to the location of where ever you created a backup. There should be a single folder in the TWRP location (it's name will have lgms210 in it) drop the lineage backup folder here next to the backup you made previously.
Once the files are moved, reboot into recovery and wipe system/data/dalvik/cache to avoid any incompatibility. (You can keep your sd)
Restore the backup, wipe dalvik and cache.
Presto change-o

Common fixes for common problems
captchas
An issue I've been hearing about recently is captchas won't load on certain sites. 4chan being the primary problem, but any site using disqus have also had a couple issues with the captcha mechanism.
If your captcha won't load, switch to desktop mode on your preferred browser. If that doesn't work, wipe cache. Not data.
installing Magisk
A couple users may hit a wall on both of xtremelora's roms where you cannot modify the boot partition while installing magisk. It's a completely normal problem and no, youre not screwed out of that mod managing love.
For this you're gonna need:
an unmodified boot partition or a boot backup: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6lnq6cymzhzyu2/boot.img?dl=0
the latest magisk found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
Magisk init.d enabler: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-init-d-universal-init-d-t3579305
The no-dmverity package found in the rom flashing section.
a little patience.
Starting off, reboot into recovery with your preferred method. (terminal, adb, hard button) We're gonna do this as a dirty flash to avoid the heartbreaking rebuild of lost data. Now, start off by flashing your rom of choice (will be updated if need be for new roms), once finished you can navigate to where ever the boot.img was saved to. On the bottom of your screen, you should see a tab saying Install image click it and all your files (minus folders and any image files) will vanish.
Now boot.img should be visible. Click that and you'll be directed to a new screen asking where you want to flash the img to. Select boot and click on flash, swipe when it asks if you're sure. (You're sure) Finish this off by flashing no-dmverity.
Now that your system has been hooked up right, the next step would be installing magisk itself. Just click and flash since there's nothing that interesting here. Once magisk is installed, finish it off by installing the Magisk init.d package. (this will allow you to use init without having to move certain files to Post.fs, which means different mods like feradroid and KITANA mod can be used systemlessly)
Finishing up, youre gonna want to remove all instances of supersu since it's installed by default. (titanium backup can do that for you)
Congrats, you now have a fully functioning magisk on your device and dont have to worry about incompatibility.
Lineage is slowing down
A small issue I've noticed with lineage room over the last few months are abrupt slowdowns involving the entropy pool availability. This is a relatively simple fix.
Download any kernel manager (I'm currently using device manager) enter the app and look for the section either pertaining to the kernel itself or to the entropy pool. You'll notice that the availability is pretty low in regards to how fast it is being used. Just change the availability up to 1024 and save it.
Bam, massive speed up for everything.
(You may have to reset the settings once you restart since the kernel resets too)
I think I messed up, wat do
There's a plethora of issues one can run into during their time using an Android device. Some being easier than other to figure out and resolve. This little section is gonna cover problems that'll arise with the Aristo
So you deleted your boot animation
This one is an easier fix.
Just drop this Zip file into the media folder on /system

Tips and tricks for power users
A recent contribution brought around by new member @unicornsw4g
Disabling thermal throttling on the LG aristo/lv3
now for those who would like to disable hardware throttling on the LG Aristo I've come up with my own way to disable that rather than to go through to each core and tweak their control file as Need4Sneed has done. for my little trick you simply need to navigate to /system/etc. now from there scroll down until you see two thermal engine files: thermal-engine-8937.conf and thermal-engine-default.conf
simply change conf from within the file extension name to bak then restart. NO NEED TO DELETE THE FILES. Safer than sorry. after that your cpu will by default reach 1.4ghz. now that may be sweet as heck but you gotta remember; speed generates heat. also the snapdragon 425 is known to get hot. well thats a lie... its known to get scorching hot. like teabag a volcano hot. well you get the point. this is NOT for heavy gaming, trust me I've tried. and well my finger got burnt, yes it gets that hot. without thermal files your phone will not take preventative measures to dissipate heat but rather hit the max temperature and shut itself down all while grilling your fingers like chicken tenders. yum. so with that said its only natural. though this cannot in any way prevent your phone from booting it may cause hardware damage which may get so bad it eventually may prevent your phone from booting in that instance I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BROKEN HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE.
upon messing around with the clock speeds with kernel auditor which does require root (messi2080) <-- da root mon --> seems the best clock speed is around 1.094ghz and the gpu speed must be lowered to at least 400mhz if your feeling ballsy then maybe you can fade 523mhz but never 598mhz. lets just say its like a really fast motorcycle with no cooling. simply put the motorcycle explodes. same concept and I wouldn't push a phone that hard as sadly :'( its my daily driver I suppose maybe the same does or doesn't apply to you but do have fun just be careful.

Or simply put, you can reboot into recovery before mounting the system partition and traveling into the file browser from the advanced tab on the TWRP main screen.
From there you can explore to /system/etc and look for thermal-engine-8937.conf and thermal-engine-default.conf. click on one and add .bak to the end of the file's name. Do the same for the other. (This way, if anything happens. You can boot into recovery and just change them back to normal)
Restart your phone and your CPU has been unlocked.
Now you wanna program the CPU and GPU using a kernel manager.
I used kernel audiutor for this next step, not much work now.
Cpu Min-960
Cpu Max-1094
Cpu Governor-ondemand
Input boost freq-1094 for the first two cores and 1248 for the last two.
Thermal-vdd restrictions. (Undervolts the kernel to safe levels at higher speed to mitigate heat)
Gpu max-484.
DO NOT TOUCH THE GPU GOVERNOR.
With these settings, i can play a couple different games at full brightness without worrying about heat dispersal.
TURBO GPU MAGISK MODULE
Been using a new magisk module recently. After a couple days of using it, my battery drain has slowed down to maybe 3% an hour while gaming. Module can be found in magisk manager or in the link provided below. If this helps you like it helped me, make sure to throw a thanks or 3 at EmperorEye.

It won't install on top of your slim rom since we have a custom recovery thankfully.

A little FYI about the current OTA update. I'm not running a custom ROM, but Ive successfully applied the newest firmware (M21010r) using LGUP and was able to reflash root and custom recovery with no issues..

It's a small security update with a couple of minor tweaks to the kernel. 1400 mhz was locked out to avoid overheating. Still attainable if you do the thermal config trick.
Otherwise, this was only about the security update. Nothing fancy.
Updates will be slightly delayed.
Friend handed me the Galaxy on5 and I just received the note 4 the other day. Now I'm swimming in samsungs on top of the S4 and my tab 2. This is gonna be fun.
It's been recently brought to attention that lg pulled some sneaky beaky business with the background code for their devices. There is a small applet that checks for elevated privileges (root) on stock software and forces a mild to massive slowdown on different devices. I don't know exactly how bad it is on other devices, but it would explain why the aristo goes from battery friendly before root, to just barely skimming the average discharge rate.
For anyone still using stock software, the fix can be found here. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.zacharee1.rctdremoverforlg
This is in alpha, make sure you create a proper backup of your boot partition just in case.
For those of you who still want to use magisk in the process. Flash the original boot image, flash magisk, install the root check Disabler, reflash magisk.

I already did my tests on it. The battery was discharging a lot faster after rooting, deep sleep was never reached and it started to waste battery when the screen was off.
has anyone tried sound tweaks?..
i.e. like dolby/viper mods
mixer_paths.xml settings?
i've been trying to bump up the incall ear and speaker ..
it's not overly obvious what it's called in the mixer_paths...
i bumped up the speaker overall a little....
but,that seemed to lower incall ear/speaker for some reason
oh...and a huge favor i need to ask...can anyone post a copy of the stock mixer_paths.xml please??? ...
i backed up mine and somehow lost it ...the remaining backup is after the first tweaks...before finding out the poop with incall...
thanks for even reading this
i know i post alot of hot air....
Hey guys, I think I have a slight situation. I unlocked my phones bootloader, rooted it and put a custom recovery on it. had an init script that was on there and my phone got messed up after installing an update. Anyway, my problem is that while in recovery, my internal storage can not be seen or accessed. I'm thinking that the update couldnt install because of that. Should i be worried that I cant see my internal storage while in recovery? I have installed a couple of black gapps through recovery though, so i know i can install from micsd at least. Any thoughts or help please?

Sorry about the lateness.
I've actually been testing a lot in this general direction.
You can extract the original mixer_paths file from either xtremelora's slim rom, or his OG stock rom.
On the matter of a decent sound mod. I've been using the Quasar mod chain since some of the other mods involving Dolby don't take memory into consideration. Leading to Dolby running into force closes the completely screw things up.
(Also, don't install any sound mods using magisk. The systemless setup is slightly out of control.)
