I spend a lot of time here, in my time here I've seen plenty of new members ask for ROM suggestions. I'm not being mean or anything when I say you'll just have to test them for yourself, that's just the way it is because even though a lot of people have the same device, they do not all use the device the same way. The only way to find what car you like is to test drive them until you find one that is just right for you, the same is true with devices and ROMs.

First I'm a noob, and have flashed only few roms on other devices

I googled custom rom for the K5 plus 3gb variant, and came up with some, but I can't figure it out for which one to install, because some has video recorder bug, some has no volte, some can't play videos correctly,

So the thing is can u help me with the best rom u know as of now:crying:, I have the phone rooted and ready with twrp 3.1.x:o

And one question if u would like to answer

Can a kernel update, update Open GL es 3.0 to 3.1

(What is kernel btw does it not changes with custom rom, or is it something different??)

Plz reply I will learn from this:):angel:;)

Reply plz I thought this page is noob friendly
[General Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
Quoting a fellow XDA member (props to [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION])

The kernel is the core part of Android. It is the link between software and hardware. The software and the hardware communicate through the kernel. The kernel changes with custom ROMs, especially between a custom ROM and a stock ROM. Custom ROMs often cannot work with kernels from stock ROM and therefore have their kernels compiled from source.

You need to read the ROM thread and the OP very carefully. You must be aware of the risks you're taking and take full responsibility for anything that happens to your device. Follow the Installation Instructions very carefully. I don't know how's AOSP extended for this device because I don't have the device and I didn't flash it. You have to try and see for yourself.

Can I port a rom from k3note(mt6752) to Le 1s(mt6795)?

I am not able to understand how to port because k3note has Mali GPU and Le 1s has Powervr .

K3 note has a ported EUI5.5 so i think that I can port the rom.

I tried porting Viperos of K3note but it got blank screen after boot logo.(Any fix?) I tried the above guide.

Please recommend me any porting guide for this or tell where I am doing wrong.

Many Many THANKS in advance:fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
1)Substratum is a theme engine used to change look and function of your device.

2)OMS is Open Mobile System, an OS loosely based on android.

3)Kernel is what integrates your software with your hardware so that the OS can use the hardware. Changing kernel can change a wide range of things such as overclocking/underclocking the CPU and GPU to enabling OTG and many more features and functions.

4)I think you wiped out the OS so you might have to flash your full stock firmware via PC.

5) If you mean to break into a WiFi without the password, sorry, we won't help you with that, no matter what your reason is

6) How to install Atmos might depend on the device, installing mods can be different from one model to the next.

7) It''s possible to run windows on android with an emulator but it doesn't work very well, I wouldn't waste my time with that.

8) ADB is Android Debug Bridge. There are too many things it can do to list here for you.

All of these answers could have been found with simple Google searches, next time, do your own searching instead of being lazy and coming here to ask such BASIC questions. I know it's a noob thread, but the XDA Rules and the OP of this thread say to SEARCH BEFORE ASKING.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Short answer? No, porting won't work, has to be same chipset.

It's "possible", but you'd have to be genius developer to even come close to getting it right because you wouldn't actually be "porting", you'd be building everything from scratch WITHOUT any resources or source code to use and that's more difficult than building a ROM WITH source code. Best to give up on this idea.

We don't have kernel sources for mediatek(mt6582).Is it possible to add hid(human interface device) support.

I.e for Bad USB attacks...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It just means that you need to verify that your device has an unlocked bootloader before flashing the ROM. 99% of android devices can't flash custom recovery or custom ROMs if the device has a locked bootloader.

If you already have TWRP installed then your bootloader is not locked because you wouldn't be able to use TWRP if it were locked.

You can use any 4.4.4 Gapps. Try looking for:

"Open Gapps 4.4.4"
[General Questions and Answers] TimSchumi:
That is probably not possible without kernel sources. Also I think that security breaching things and questions are not allowed in XDA (Do not expect help from anyone here)....
[General Questions and Answers] seshanth:
Thanks for that. And I'm not into security breaching and stuffs like that...just asked out of curiosity :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your device doesn't already support HID then you'll have to compile a kernel to add support.

Adding any kind of hardware support requires the kernel to built with that support.

Xposed on Resurrection Remix 5.8.3?

Hello all -

I recently flashed RR rom on my OPO. It worked and everything was going well - until I started getting a massive battery drain issue. RR is supposed to be battery-friendly but it literally wipes out my battery life tremendously!

I poked around everywhere and the answers I got were to get Xposed and download a battery saving app (Greenify I think was the name?). However, most of the posts were old and said that Xposed didn't work on RR (posts as old as 2013) and I couldn't find anything that was recent for RR v5.8.3.

My question is - is Xposed usable on RR and if it is, could you steer me in the right direction on where I can get it and how to install it? This battery drainage thing is getting on my nerves :/

Thanks once again!
[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
My suggestion would be twofold:

First, download Deep Sleep battery saver instead of greenify. You can download it from the Playstore or from Xposed (if in fact Xposed is running properly on your device).

Second, download Amplify from Xposed (again assuming that Xposed is working on your device). This will help you identify alarms and wakelocks that are triggering and probably causing some of the battery drain issue.

I have a little problem. I have HTC desire 500 and its just blinking that orange diode. Any one who can help? I tryed to see what voltage battery have and its very low(about 0.001V) so i tryed new battery and nothing... Can anyone help me if that is MB issue? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Kitsparks:
Thank you for your fast response! But I'm wondering if Xposed works for Resurrection Remix 5.8? I'm worried of trying to installing something that isn't compatible with my version of RR and messing something up :x Would you know?
[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
Xposed will generally inform you if the framework is not installed or not working.
[General Questions and Answers] Kitsparks:
Oh ok, great thank you so much! :good::victory: Here goes nothing haha

EDIT: Couldn't install Xposed - it said it was still not compatible with Android SDK version 25 :'(

Any other ideas to save phone from battery drainage?
[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
0.001V means dead battery. What's happening to the phone? Water contact? Did you tried to hold the power button some time?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, basically, my reply was to confirm that you won't be able to do it because you already stated that the kernel source is not available.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

It's a hardware problem, probably caused by you trying to flash something that wasn't built specifically for your device. If that's what you did then your device is hardbricked. Only solutions are JTAG, replace the motherboard or get a new device.

Yes, xposed does not work on Nougat at the moment. 7.0 is SDK 24 and 7.1.x is SDK 25. Xposed only supports up to SDK 23 (Marshmallow).

Try to find a working wakelock detector app on the Play Store. Then see what causes the drain and kill it.

Have you asked in the RR thread for your device? The dev himself and other users of the same ROM will have the best ability to help! :)

[General Questions and Answers] Ryxban:
I have an issue. I want to give as much info as possible to get the bet answer. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini G800H currently running 4.4.2, I want to update the firmware as I have seen it is possible to go up to 5.x or 6.x but my carrier does not offer any OTA, I don't have access to a computer and I have tried using towelroot and kingroot but both say my device is not supported. A friend told me I was able to download the official firmware for my model and update it through recovery mode by placing the firmware in the SD card. Is it possible to do this?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Stock updates can be downloaded and flashed in stock recovery, but it has to be a .zip file.

You can also try downloading the updated stock firmware .tar.md5 for your model number and flash it in Odin. It has to be the Odin flashable version.
[General Questions and Answers] Ryxban:
For example if I get the .zip for the stock firmware from another carrier, as long as it is the one for my model and it is .zip in my SD card when I get into stock recovery I should theoretically be able to flash it, correct?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it's for your same specific model number yes, and only if it's an update.zip for your model. If it's the Odin flashable version hat has been zipped to make it smaller then it won't work, that is meant to be flashed in Odin. You can look at the contents of the zipped file, if it has a .tar or .tar.md5 in it then you've got the version for Odin.
[General Questions and Answers] Ryxban:
Thanks, I'll check on it. On sammobile, are most of those firmwares for Odin? Do you know by any chance?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, those are for Odin, they should be .tar.md5 or .tar inside of a zip file, download it, then extract the zip to get to the actual firmware then flash that in Odin.

The following thread is the best i can find and I'm sure that there's more out there but, this is a good start for you to look/post/search to get you what you need.

[MTK][TUTORIAL][4.4.x-5.x+]Porting Custom Recovery by charansai

MTK devices are a challenge for locating Source Code for a CWM Recovery but, it's out there.

Keep in mind a few little points I'll divulge to you regarding a Source Code to CWM, especially, for your device.

1) Any source codes are typically located within a separate (lets just say Github) members tree.

2) For your MTK device, your more likely to locate it as a "MT65xx", "MTK 65xx", and so on. This "xx" indicates the series (ie... MT65xx Series of devices) because developments for the MTK devices are, usually, for the series of a devices Chipset but, sometimes certain Chipset's requires developments to be more specific (though, it looks as though this is not the case for your Chipset).

3) When searching Google, XDA Forum, etc..., remember that they use the Metadata system and you should keep in mind to use Keywords with omitting words like "and", "the", "or", etc... because your searches will also include having those words as a separate result. You should also variate the terms of your searches too as they may provide better or more accurate results.

This is a kind of an abbreviated version of it and i did my best to explain it via text so I hope i expressed it okay... LOL!

And i always welcome any member to help with further valuable information for any of my posts.

I wish you the best of luck!

Sorry but I am really looking for it.

Btw will it work on vibe K5 plus, or there is a need of a specific hardware for that?

I'm in custom ROM as well, aosp extended, it supports AMOLED screen
[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
I don't think you can, it's a device support, if you're phone was originally created with a non-amoled screen then you can't replace it with one, it's like any other hardware component..i.e RAM, GPU..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It MIGHT be possible but not very likely to actually work.

But......

If it's form factor will fit in your device and if it the connectors are the same then it might be possible to change it but you'll have to compile a new kernel for your device that includes support for the screen you use. If you don't know how to compile a kernel and troubleshoot driver support in the kernel then you need to forget about this idea.

Also, there would probably be other hardware involved. If the screen relies on other hardware that your device does not have then even compiling a kernel won't work. The issue with this is not whether software will allow the hardware to be used, it's an issue of whether your hardware will allow the hardware to be used.

thanks for the help
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You might be able to just install CWM 6.0.4.5, it's compatible with flashing the CM11 Kit Kat ROM you have. Some devices have to update to JB to update the devices partitions before flashing Kit Kat. I had to do that on my S2 years ago, I had 4.1.2 and had to update to 4.3 before I could flash Kit Kat.

As for checking your bootloader, there are several methods to check it.

Try these 2 methods:

https://uptoandroid.com/check-bootloader-status-whether-locked-unlocked/

But as I said earlier, if you have TWRP installed and it boots and works then your bootloader is already unlocked or TWRP wouldn't boot or function.

Hi all,

I use a rooted Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-935F) under Android 6.0.1.

I am not sure to be at the right place for my question, but I go: I had backup-ed my internal SD with a TAR command launched every night by Tasker, so I have always the last picture of my data. It worked very well, but some weeks ago I discovered that it no longer worked. I don’t know if something changed in the filenames used by Google or the Busybox has changed, but after investigating and a lot of tests I discovered an old problem which was, I believed, solved with the payed Busybox version: the TAR command is not able to deal with Filenames longer than 100 characters.

Today, I tried a lot of things, but nothing works.

Is it a solution to bypass this limitation ? Is it another way to do the same thing in command line to be executed in batch mode ?

Thank you.

BR.

Daniel.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can use the "adb backup" method or you can use TWRP to make backups. They are much better methods than the method you are using.
[General Questions and Answers] VampiruX:
Thank you for help. I use TWRP for system backup once a week and precisely I make the backup with TAR to always have my data corresponding to TWRP backup (and it as already been used several time). Unfortunately TWRP doesn't seem to backup internal sd card (in fact, user data). I use TWRP in batch mode launched by Tasker, but in an undocumented way that I found while reading a proc, so I don't know if internal SD backup is supported.

BR.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's why I suggested using adb.

adb pull /path/to/internal/storage

TWRP can backup /data/media to save your saved data, it just doesn't backup internal.
[General Questions and Answers] VampiruX:
Thank you, you confirmed what I think about TWRP.

I'll investigate ADB as I don't know at all, but it is never too late to learn.

Thanks again.

BR.

Daniel.

But, how does ADB run ? on the PC or directly on Android, because as all my process is automatic, it has to run on the phone.

So, it seems to need a connexion (USB) with a PC. It doesn't solve my problem. I have to find something which runs on android or a TAR command able to accept file names containing more than 100 characters. What I don't understand is that it worked for a long time...

Ok I investigated and ran ADB. Unfortunately I was not able to run in standalone on Android. Moreover, I didn't find how to do what I want: copying (compressed) all what is in my internal SD card to my external SD card.

So, I am always looking for a TAR command able to manipulate any file name or something else like zip or rar running in command line or able to launched in batch.

BR.

Daniel.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can probably create a script to run in Terminal Emulator and have Tasker automate it.
