[General Questions and Answers] I_like_root_pls:
Sorry, I have been looking into what I did wrong. I used boot.img that magisk turned into magisk_patch.img (not exact name). I used the latest firmware and I think that might be the problem. I have the stock vbeta.img and boot, but my phone refuses to connect to my computer to reflash (by that I think that means flashing the stock boot img right?) I used adb to flash.

The only mode where my phone doesn't reboot is in fastboot mode, but it still won't connect. Recovery mode is a no go.

I also made a thread as I am not good at keeping up in this one. There is also a video that could clear up and confusion.

https://xdaforums.com/t/g0370ww-bootlooped-recovery-download-mode-not-aviable.4261849/

I do apreciate your help, I'm just a bit slow with this.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
In the video you are getting fastboot mode but you are doing it wrong:

- While in fastboot mode you have to use exclusively fastboot commands not adb commands.

- You are using PowerShell and you should need to set the environment variables, log out and restart again, cd to the path file and a lot of unnecessary stuff for just a hurry necessity so I recommend that you firstly type cmd being in PS to switch to the old Command Prompt window and from then type the fastboot commands that you need, also copy/move the image you want to flash to the same adb/fastboot directory.

Hello,

I have a Huawei P smart 2019 that has been running slow.

I know plenty of other replies have been posted here about it but I do search the thread but I can't find a direction, the posts I saw were about cleaning the OS or asking other questions, they don't show what replies come after and I don't know how to access them.

Here are some insights about my phone:

- it's completely "vanilla", no root, no third party ROM.

- My phone automatically cleans it's junk once every week or so.

- my phone shuts down for an hour and turns on every night (user defined setting) just so the OS resets and is not left working dozens of days in a row

- I have 14 user installed apps: 2 bank apps, Android Auto, Hisuite (huawei toolbox), amazon, Call of duty mobile, Empires and Puzzles, Spotify, IG, reddit, tik tok, FB lite and messenger and Whatsapp, everything else comes with the phone.

- the phone got updated last year into android 10. before that it used to have about 1GB of ram available but after the update it got reduced to 800mb and lately i've been having like 300mb free ram.

- The apps that I use are the same for more than a year, I just update them

- I always update my phone whenever it asks to be updated

Recently I factory reset my phone. Installed all my apps again and the performance went down but it's not as worst as before (before factory reset even my keyboard would vanish while typing). right now it's just generally slow. for example, facebook messenger usually hangs while opening and looks slow.

As for user changes

before factory reset: only "essential" apps (user installed apps) would boot up with the system, like messenger for example. everything else would have it's boot disabled. Animations set up to 0.5x (programmer options), several privacy options turned on/off and other minor changes.

after the factory reset: I haven't touched anything except for setting up animations to 0.5x.

Performance data

Attached are some screenshots of the RAM performance (Last 3h, medium usage - I can take max usage screenshots and for other periods of time)

anyone knows what I can do? I'd like to avoid putting a third party ROM as tbh I don't have money for a new phone, can't brick this one.

Hi!

I would like to watch series/movies (series and movies which i cant find on apps that my tv offers) in quality on my tv by phone.

So which phones have the best hdmi output to televisions?

I have a LG oled55cx (4k, 120hz)

Regards!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Why you don't directly install those apps on your smart TV?.

There are here some development around WebOS in case you want to take a look on it https://xdaforums.com/f/webos-software-and-hacking-general.1079/

It would be less expensive buying a ChromeCast (from the old ones) that buying a new phone just to mirror it with your TV.

Samsung devices (S and Note series) have good HDMI connectivity but I'm not sure if the streaming is done in the same quality. If you let give you an opinion I personally changed my smart TV for a Android box (Mi box S), it does things better and is less expensive change it through a certain time.
[General Questions and Answers] Dionolthof:
Hi, thanks for your response!

First of all im not a native english speaker, so bare with me grammar/vocabulare wise.

I currently have the samsung galaxy s9+ and I used it with hdmi for screen mirroring. The quality on the tv, compared to while watching it on my phone, was quite a bit less, which was disappointing.

I was able to output fullhd and 60 hz though, which is the max without the official samsung dock (would become qhd with the dock, in my understanding). But also with fullhd videos, the quality was less on my tv. The video was a bit choppy/laggy on the tv, while it wasnt on the phone. I tried improving this with the tv settings menu with little results, but im no expert. Maybe it would've helped upgrading to the samsung dock cause it compliments the software better resulting in improving the video quality displayed on tv? Idk

But well since the s9+ is quite old anyway and my battery cappacity is below 75%, i was thinking of upgrading. Great hdmi output along with the upgrade would be sweet.

Currently im using my laptop (asus fx503vm-e4178t) instead, which is able to output fullhd at 60 hz also, and better then my phone does (clearer, no lagg). So upgrading to a flagship phone mainly for hdmi output might be a bit too much indeed.

I will keep an eye on the topics regarding the option of 'hacking' my tv. I never even knew about that, so thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
There is a thread specific for asking suggestions of what phone to get, based on your requirements. But I could not find it right now.

I have a new Smart TV, and at the time of purchase, I could of gone for bigger and Android as the OS (for cheaper!), but the picture quality was lower. Instead, I use the USB ports on the TV, and also my router can share media files (visible over WiFI by the TV), that are plugged into a USB port on the router, that has 4 USB sticks I had lying around, plugged into a USB hub. The benefit of having the TV play video directly itself, is that the up-scalling built into the TV is actually VERY surprisingly good. I was personally shocked at just how good the up-scaling was, and it made me a lot more comfortable with my choice (ie not going with an android TV).
[General Questions and Answers] MoXo8:
Hey guys!

I have a low-budget 8" tablet that I got this year that runs Android GO 10, and that got me wondering if it would be possible to install that same Android GO on my older tablet which has pretty similar specs.

It's an Asus MeMO Pad 8 (ME181CX) running Android 4.4.2, an Intel Atom CPU Z3745 @ 1.33GHz with 1GB of RAM.

I didn't find anything relating to this model on the site, and I would really like to know if it's something doable, since it was a very good tablet when I bought it, and it'd be cool if I were able to make it usable again with Android GO.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Flashing it as it is no so it's not enough that both have similar specs but this is only possible in same devices, this definitely can brick your device.

Most you can do is search for a device that has the same (not similar) at least processor (preferable CPU and the more you find) that is running no much than 5.1 maybe 6.0 and then learn a lot to can port this ROMs to your device (only custom not stock ones) if it meets minimun requirements.

I need some help. I've got a Ulefone armor 9 that I got an update for 2 nights ago that has gotten my phone stuck in either fastboot mode or in recovery mode. I can't get it to boot normally. I've tried restarts, I've tried turning it off, I've tried to reboot into bootloader and end up with me getting back into fastboot mode. I tried downloading the drivers from ulefone, I've tried getting adbtools and I can't get the laptop to recognize the phone.

hi everyone, this is how it happened. i tried to root my phone using king root in the phone but i couldnt find app on play store so i tried downloading it from chrome, i found the site and tried to download the APK but it didnt work ( i tried to do that on few other sites on few other apps), so i thought "ill just search it on google or youtube". on youtube everyone said that i needed Kingroot or something like which required me to download stuff from chrome (which i couldnt do) so i decided to root my phone using my pc, so i found this Vid

heres the problem though, i think my usb drivers suck (maybe cuz' im still using Win 7, which is also not genuine?) so ignoring that fact, i tried to install file corresponding to SM-G532F model with odin. i somehow managed to fail over and over, until i eventually tried look up the USB drivers sooo i found this https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html and installed it, after i did that something changed instead of instantly failing to stuff Odin actually started to do something and then stop (there was a certain log that made it stuck) then i tried to restart the phone but not in the normal way. i removed its battery and put it back, Odin got stuck exactly like before, that kinda scared me, not gonna lie, so i tried to turn the phone back on, but i couldnt (i cant recall exactly how it didnt start but yeah overall... it didnt), that made me search stuff in google yet again i found this

and i forgot to check Softbrick fixer 1:43, it didn't do thing there was just an error then i tried to get the batteries out and in again i also tried installing this too https://softfamous.com/postdownload-file/media-transfer-protocol-porting-kit/24862/10050/ when i finally did that, hijacking actually worked... or it said that it did, when i tried to start my phone with volume up+lock screen+home button it seemed like it started but it just didnt stop and even after 15-20 mins of loading it didnt finish doing it.i tried turning it on several times every attempt ended with failure. after that i tried once again to find answers on youtube so i found this guy

he said that file which i need to install can be found here but i cant find it here when i searched SM-G532F stock rom odin xda i found this https://xdaforums.com/t/installing-stock-rom-on-sm-g532f.3672884/#post-75474147 thread which was about Samsung galaxy grand prime (that model somehow shares the name with my model?!), as the video first way is the easiest and it has the odd to be the most successful of all, soo i came up with this website and thought to myself am i doing everything right? should i keep doing what im doing, what if im messing my phone even more than it is right now, and i wrote this just to make sure what to do. thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I repaired my phone, but ill just leave this post here just in case someone runs into the same problem.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you are asking if flashing the stock firmware for your device is the right step, of course this is the only thing you can do returning to its original state to your device and from there, if you solve it you might take a look on the Magisk forum to root it, I won´t recommend any apps like the mentioned, the last time I used KingRoot was for a Blu on 4.2.2 and it became full of virus infecting too my PC, the only solution was formatting all my HDD to a low level through 5 hours and so.

As per the W7 being an illegal copy you haven´t to use that for obvious reasons, there is a lite version of Windows 10 called MiniOS, it works very fine on non-full powered PC although the free version has limited customization options the OS is fully functional though. Actually it´s very easy to burn it in an USB stick and install it yourself.

Hi,

is there any app that actually can restore newly deleted videos? (Android 8.1/LineageOS)

-------------------------------------------------------

Background to my question:

I installed one of those apps that claim to do so a while ago, when it was a "free" offer on AppSales, but didn't have anything to undelete... until last night.

I did some "house cleaning", deleting several hundred videos, realised too late that one of them was worth keeping - and remembered that app.

To my surprise it just listed all those videos I had NOT deleted.

I tried out half a dozen Video Recovery apps from the Play Store, which all did exactly the same thing, even though some claimed that they would do a "deep scan" (in one case "of your harddisk") that would find all deleted videos.

Greetings Community,

I have a Samsung S8 Active and after a bit of research couldn't find one custom rom for the active variant of the the S8. Is the active the same internally and thus can take the same rom?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Some of the models or variants grouped into Snapdragon and the others into Exynos share similarities although their differences on radio, modem specifics and some of them being a dual SIM model, with minimal modifications they should work on most of them but the reason why you don´t see your model listed as compatible with this or that ROM is that the bootloader can´t be unlocked as happens too with other models (although it could be some exploit in some specific revisions) this discourages developers.

Anyway this is the only I found so far https://xdaforums.com/t/root-g892a-...orgrom-root-for-the-galaxy-s8-active.3747788/

This navbar style remembers me the XOS UI used for Infinix devices so refining the searching this is the nearest similar model I found https://www.gsmarena.com/infinix_zero_6_pro-9657.php but anyway there is yet an "anachronistic inconsistency" so when the notch hit the scenario from what I know navigation bar hardware buttons disapeared turning on virtual ones so maybe it's just a concept inspired on Infinix devices; usually publicity uses non-recognizable/real devices to not indicate any kind of association if there is not one but they sometimes decide to insinuate some approximation to a certain model for convenience reasons, also most of times is avoided many tech advanced handset as models to avoid most people think that is unreachable for the mass of people.

hi all! I was trying to get my phone rooted, people here told me Magisk was the best option (btw is it?, are there any other optimal methods?) I found this Guide and did every step exactly like the tutorial. I loaded TWRP successfully but when i tried to Powbutton+VolUp+HomeButton TWRP didn't come up instead it was the normal menu. I tried using lots of versions of Odin, but nothing worked. is there any way to solve this problem or any other roots that are easier to install? what should I do?

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Unfortunately you can´t unlock bootloader this way so USB debugging and OEM unlock were not enabled and you can´t submit the process through Sony unlock program. But if you enabled before and wasn´t untoggled for some internal error due to a bad flashing or failed booting process then you can start to apply unlocking.

I don´t understand why your screen was reversed this way, did you touch something like force RTL layout direction? not sure why.. or if your device is on but you can´t see nothing, if this is the case you can tap (blindly) on the area where it suppose to appear the message to allow adb communicating with your device to can authorize it.

I think formatting data is the right way to solve it or flashing again the same firmware that was previously, you could use for this, flashmode, this way you don´t need an unlocked bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The problem is that you need to unlock the bootloader first and from what I know only paid services are available.

[General Questions and Answers] prz111:
Hello everyone, noob here.. i've been wanting to ask these questions for a long time, i hope somebody here can help point me into the right direction.

So, my first smartphone was/is a local brand with msm8610 qualcomm chipset. It was using jelly bean as its operating system. Now that i have a new phone, i want to experiment with this old phone, but since i'm a noob, i didn't know too much about it, however, if the job is just to add view lines here and there in linux kernel then compile it, i'm willing to try it... my main problem is that my phones vendor is no longer exist and the kernel/driver source code isnt available on the internet, so here's few of my questions:

1. About kernel driver...

are kernel drivers from other phones with the same chipset (in this case msm8610) can be used for my phones without compiling it from the source (minus the modem driver of course) or each device have different drivers?

if the driver of each device with the same chipset are different, how can i know what driver is my device use/needed?

2. About compiling the same kernel version as the original rom without the source code but i have the dtb/dts...

If i want to compile the kernel with the same version as the original rom (kernel version 3.4), but i dont have access to my device's source code, is there a step that i can follow to compile the kernel from other source? and what kernel source should i use? i'm confused because there are so many kernel source in github for msm8610....

after i downloaded said kernel source, what line should i add to the source so i can compile it for my device?...(i already have the dtb/dts using tools such as androidkitchen etc....)

basically what i want is a source code that is ready to be compiled for my device....

3. About compiling newer kernel...

If somehow i'm able to understand the answers to my 2nd question, what steps should i do to be able to compile the newer kernel?..

4. About GKI and its compatibility for old devices....

So... lately ive read that latest android use something called Generic Kernel Image (GKI) what does it mean for old devices? say that i found an LG L70 device.. it use msm8610 chipset, the same as my device, does it mean i can use LG L70 rom for my device with some minor adjustment with the device tree, or i still have to compile everything from source?

I think that's all for now... i hope someone can point me into the right path...
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Maybe you should get the firmware by "simulating" you flash the device using the upgrade tool available here with the stf that is for your device (multi language or Chinese) https://www.thuraya.com/en/support/upgrades/land-voice/thuraya-xt-pro after to install it it creates a folder in Program Files (Windows) where the tool might download the firmware to can transfer it when complete to your device. Open the directory and pay attention to the progress, if that happens be careful to only disconnect your device if the transfer process was not started and if you were not able to disconnect it before that and the process starts you should be prepared to let it continue, you might disconnect from internet if the download is done to get some time to move the file to another place so some tools execute clean scripts when they are shut down.
