Guys, before I say goodbye on this thread (returning my XT2 as I am on Sprint), I wanted to let you know that the 32 bit port of Google Camera (GCAM) works great on this phone!
GCAM 4.2 (32 bit) (Note that I tried the 4.4 32 bit port but HDR+ isn't working in that build)

Camera2 API is enabled by default on this device, no root required!
HDR+ takes amazing low-light photos. I can take a picture with something hardly visible, and it looks well lit after the HDR+ runs it's course!

Have fun!

Thanks for all your good work.

If I made a lite room for this phone so you want /data encryption on or off? Poll?

Non encrypted, with xposed installed (so the PIE control works), and a super user other than supersu or magisk, with nano-gapps.
and a fully working twrp.
Personally, I use APEX launcher.
I want to be able to pull the data off the phone via adb without worrying about trying to decrypt it.

Has anyone tried installing superuser on system instead of system less? To do this go to twrp and make sure data is mounted, then enter terminal in twrp and run these to force system root method.

CD /data

Echo SYSTEMLESS=false > .supersu

After that the supersu zip files(or others) will force system install.

So does that give you a non-systemless root? The problem I have found with supersu is that way more than half the time apps don't work with it. It has been changed to spawn an interactive shell, and things like rootcheck, and luckypatcher don't see it as rooted. Notifications pop up that the app has been granted super user access for an interactive shell.
I'd like to see a su that just automatically grants access without ever asking to allow it. That being said, as long as rootchecker and luckypatcher see root and work, and I can edit fstab.qcom and the init files etc, and have the edits STICK, then I will be supremely happy...

Not quite yet. I can uninstall most system apps for Debloat but can't edits in system to stick yet.

I bet enigma2446 themselves edited that post because they changed their mind about what they posted :) .

Once you post on XDA, you can't delete the post yourself, so next best thing is you edit it to say "delete" or something else.

You should be able to "fastboot boot H1711-TWRP.img", then use adb as root to dd the stock recovery partition to external SD - but someone here with this phone could give you the exact commands. Or maybe backup recovery partition from booted H1711 TWRP works too :confused: .

O.K. can you back the phone up, and make that available so it can be restored to a phone?
How close to a 100% working TWRP have you gotten?

I've had the H1611 almost a yr now and love it! Its really been a awesome phone diff will be the one I buy again. Somebody told me that Samsung had a lawsuit against them thinking that they had gotten their patens. It didn't stick and Samsung gave up anyhow supposedly they are made very close in parts. He said that the reason Samsung was truly upset is because of the note 7. Supposedly it was made by them very similar in lot ways only difference theirs didn't catch fire and ran faster and better. I don't know if all this really truthful or not just what I've heard from several people over past few months. I do know that I wouldn't trade or sell mine for any other after using mine past yr almost. I'm glad to see others with newer version saying positive about them. I am diff going this fri to buy another one with the 7.0 version. Hope that they have some with the 6 inch screen like this H1611 I'm using now. I see these phones doing well in the future seen some on line up ta 2,500 in price.

"fastboot boot H1711-TWRP.img" won't work.

Do anyone know how to dump stock recovery ?

What magic method did you use to get the stock recovery for H1711 as "fastboot boot H1711-TWRP.img" apparently does not work. :confused:

I'm assuming you could not just dd the stock recovery partition without root which would have required flashing TWRP over the stock recovery.

That is what I am asking for... Just curiosity :rolleyes:

I lost the stock EMUI theme.
Can someone check if the stock theme is located at "hwt" folder on internal storage please ?
