Virtually anything can be ported to work on any device. It will require the source code for whatever you want to port and the source code or at least stock firmware for the device you want to port it to.

Best oreo rom for redmi 3s

Sir i just wanted to know that which is best stable oreo rom for redmi 3s for daily usage? Also plz consider battery life and customisation option
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You'll have to figure that out for yourself by trying the various ROMs until you find the one that works best for you and your purposes. What someone else likes or what works best for someone else might not be what you like or what works best for you because someone else may use their device differently or have apps and services installed that you don't have installed or you may have apps and services installed that someone else doesn't, these kinds of things make each individual users experience with using this or that ROM much different.

Some things you just have to get off your butt and figure out for yourself by trial and error, no shortcuts or quick, easy answers.
[General Questions and Answers] tiwadeh:
Sir, you are right i agree but i dont know about how to review any rom from battery, performance,etc

So i just wanted to ask who had knowledge about it
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Find a ROM for your device that you think you might like, install it, use your device for a day or so to see how your battery performs, then use system settings>battery to monitor what is using battery then look for ways to limit those things from using battery. You can also use an app such as Better Battery Stats to monitor battery usage.

If your device is rooted and your device is set to SELinux Permissive mode, you can use the Kernel Auditor app to optimize kernel settings to improve performance/battery usage. You can also use the Wakelock Detector app to find any system wakelocks that are using too much CPU/GPU/ resources then look for tools to activate/deactivate wakelocks to control what is using battery.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your device has custom ROMs available, install a ROM, it should have root, then make sure it has SELinux permissive then you can use Kernel Auditor and Wakelock Detector.

Instead of looking for the easy answer, find your device forum, start reading threads there.

I've bricked my phone BenQ T3

I was trying to install a custom ROM & I messed up & bricked my phone (BenQ T3). Now the only thing I can do is go into recovery mode (from a powered off phone) & sideload stuff into it. I've tried sideloading a few ROMs but it comes up with E: verification failed on almost everything.

When I do

adb recovery bootloader

it shows up as

error:closed

This happens on almost all adb commands except sideload. Fastboot is also not working apparently. My adb drivers are up to date

If I want to go in the phone I have to wipe data & factory reset from recovery & only then will it load into the OS (Kitkat 4.4.2). This bootup also has a problem since it displays a message called unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped and the GUI goes away replaced by a black screen.

I can scroll down the menu from top and go into settings but there is no home screen or anything and if I restart this phone I will be stuck at Bootloader only to power off and go into recovery > wipe data again and start all over.

Need help to resolve this, please!

custom ROMs for UMIDIGI C Note 2

hello, I just got the umidigi c note 2 today and I want to install a new custom ROM.

Is there any custom rom available for this phone ? and if possible a guide on how to install it. thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It's not:

adb recovery bootloader

The correct command is:

adb reboot bootloader

Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

If available, that should find the stock firmware for your device, the tools to flash it and the instructions.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:

Tried to put in the command that you suggested and it still shows up as [error:closed].

I have Gone through every search engine (Google/Bing/GoDuckGo) 10+ pages deep on each of them but unfortunately, no one has a stock Rom for BenQ T3. I previously had this phone rooted using KingoRoot, however, I went about and tried removing the carrier/manufacturer (BenQ) bloatware from my phone and that is when this entire thing went south!

Any other suggestions on what I can try do next?

I had an issue when i tried to flash miui 9.2 stable for my redmi 3s via redwolf twrp official build with ota survival option ticked it was flashing then suddenly my phone switched of then i tried to go back to recovery but it was stock recovery and redwolf recovery was not there and on booting back to system it was saying that your data is encrypted something like that and said erase everything to start mobile so plz help
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You said "I've tried sideloading a few ROMs". If you really have some custom rom you can put it in your extSD card if support your device. Why flash it through adb sideload if you can do it directly through your recovery.

adb commands work with device on (What you attempting if you can´t boot)

adb sideload commands work with device in recovery mode (you can put it through TWRP) and

fastboot commands work with device in fastboot mode.

Maybe your bootloader is locked.

Maybe you can remember which apps you deleted and downloading some rom for other BenQ model, same version (kitkat, lollipop or anyelse) you can put again this directories/files in the right places using file manager in TWRP and giving right permissions of course assuming that you didn´t delete system.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I doubt you'll fix this without flashing your full stock firmware via PC using your device manufacturers compatible flashtool.

If your stock firmware is not available then you're probably out of luck unless you get lucky and find a stock firmware from a similar device that just happens to work without having to modify it to work.

If you can't flash it with a stock firmware then you need to replace the device.
[General Questions and Answers] ahmedwaqas92:
This sentence, right here, kinda saved my life bro, You are my GOD DAMN HERO! I genuinely thought that adb functions would only work if I go to recovery & attempt to run commands from there! While reading your answer I thought off why not boot into the phone (after wiping data/factory reset and cache clean since normal boot hangs on logo) and Vola! the adb is showing my device listed when I tried to put in:

adb devices

So we kinda got a tiny bit done there :good: :good: - Now I can run commands using adb so what should I try next bro?

A few small hardware/software hurdles:

1) MicroSD slot is faulty so it doesn't read the card at all that is why I need a method using Internal Storage, ADB/Fastboot to resurrect this phone

2) As I mentioned earlier I was trying to remove a few Flagship apps from BenQ (some weird app called BenQ Money and BenQ Sora which kinda corrupted the OS and now every time if I want to go inside the phone I see a blank screen with no UI and for me to even go until this point I everytime have to reboot into recovery, wipe data & cache with factory reset and try some bit of tweaking. If I just boot normally it gets stuck on the BenQ logo.

A few things I could manage to do after reading a couple of posts from you guys:

1) As you previously explained the whole adb thing I managed to go into fastboot using

adb reboot bootloader

and then after it booted in Fastboot I ran this command:

fastboot oem unlock

Now, fortunately, I have an unlocked bootloader while booting up it shows a small unlock word at the top left-hand corner - Where do I go from here? Do I install TWRP or something? and if so how do I go about it since I checked the TWRP website and they do not have a recovery for my Phone model.

BenQ is a Taiwanese brand so their phone stock roms are very difficult to find (Still couldn't find one for my Model T3), however I found a stock ROM for a phone made my BenQ B50 which on stock ROM runs 4.4.4 Kitkat. T3 (My model ran 4.4.2) could this work?

If it could how would I be able to make my T3 come onto the stock ROM for B50? because the file is not in .zip format it was in rar format with another folder inside it holding these items:

Extra_Files[Folder]
_Android_Info.txt
boot.img
cache.img
Ik.bin
logo.bin
MT6752_Android_scatter.txt
preloader_a310f.bin
recovery.img
secro.img
system.img
tz1.img
tz2.img
userdata.img

Please let me know if any of these files could be used in any way to fix my phone. Thank You for all your efforts Guys!!

P.S. The phone is still rooted I believe as when I ran adb shell and did su root it enabled me root user without any problem! (Thought this info might be helpful to you guys!) Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Mr Robbot:
hey guys, greetings from Brazil.

I have an ZUK Z2 Plus and I'm facing some issues with my current ROM (Pixel experience). I've used the Free Up Space tool, the files seem to be gone but they're still occupying space in the internal storage. Anyway, I've decided to wipe everything, even the internal storage since there's been a while I last did this.

The thing is, I don't have an OTG to put the ROM file and my phone doesn't have a SD slot. Is it possible to flash the files using a computer through ADB? If so, is there any thread I could read? Or is there a way to create a partition in my internal storage to put the files I'd need and just wipe the rest? Thx for now guys.

1. Math Alarm

2. Increase alarm volume

3. Alarm clock plus

And now there are random ads , even on home screen. How to solve it
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you use a stock firmware from a different device model number, it has to be from a device that has the exact same hardware components, same CPU, same RAM, same internal.storage space, same screen size and resolution, same camera, etc..

If any of the hardware components are a mismatch then it probably won't work.
[General Questions and Answers] ahmedwaqas92:
So basically almost impossible to find a stock ROM that is identical to my device......Can I by any chance (hypothetically) repair the System UI and fix the boot loop manually?

I still do have root privilege enabled and now a working adb and fastboot feature. Any workaround using these methods? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you still have working root privileges, you can try finding a copy of the system apps that are having issues and use adb push commands to push them to system to replace the faulty apps. Find a stock firmware for a similar device with the same android version, extract the copies of the faulty apps from that firmware, use those to push to system.
[General Questions and Answers] ahmedwaqas92:
I know this may sound as a total noob question (most probably it is) and excuse my arrogance on the matter bro but how exactly do I go about doing the part I put in Bold?

For E.g. If issue is: stuck on make logo during bootup what system app is faulty then?? Also there is no System UI that I can touch once I even boot up so which system app could have problem here?

Any help on the matter would be appreciated bro! Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Definitely this firmware don´t match with your device. You have a snapdragon and this is a mediatek same brand but different SoC (but keep it for now, the apps that you deleted maybe works cause is a kitkat but will be next)

You say that you can boot and also you can go to settings from swiping notifications panel I guess, but maybe you simply deleted your launcher and if this is the case, assuming that you have an adb folder working in drive c: then put any launcher in same folder, rename it shortest possible, example download with any browser Nova Launcher connect device power on to pc and run like admin, then type: adb install nova.apk (name don´t must have space).

Second option: download from here the latest version of this tool: https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-extractor

(you have to install Python and java to work, but this tool guide you how to) then unpack system.img and if you are luck you will find same apps that you deleted, search in app, priv-app, vendor/app and you can push again in your device system using adb commands but first try untill here to see some advance.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
What files do you need to put again? and what will you get putting your rom through otg?

You can do wipe/factory reset from your stock recovery

If you want to flash your rom you can do it through your official flashtool in download mode or if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash through fastboot.

After some readings I get that I need to first unlock the bootloader so I can root the device. I enabled USB debugging and OEM unlocking then after installing the drivers and adb and fastboot from a thread in this site. I did the following

Adb devices

It showed me a device then

Adb reboot bootloader

Then my phone will restart into a black screen and in the bottom left corner says fastboot mode...

Then I did this command.

Fastboot devices but it shows no device. I don't know what the problem is or how to solve it.

PHONE RESURRECTED !! :victory: :victory: Many Thanks for all your help brother! SUPERB WORK INDEED!! and also a big shout out to [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] for all his help on the matter. I downloaded a Kitkat 4.4 launcher and adb installed it (as per your instructions). The minute I did that the phone kind of flashed the screen once and I could see the icons (a bit displaced as half the screen was black) but it started working. I then went to Settings>Display>Wallpapers and reselected a stock image and the screen came back to normal. To make my screen look clean and tidy I have consequently removed all shortcuts from the home screen.

Furthermore, by reinstalling the launcher my stuck at logo during bootup problem also somehow miraculously vanished and now the phone is booting up very nicely without the need to wipe data/factory reset.

Since this is now fixed I would like to continue with some more modifications on how I can fully use and customize this device to it's every last drop of hardware utilization.

Before I begin let me show you the interface and all other things I might deem necessary.

As you can see there is still much bloatware inside the phone that are hogging the space and the much-cherished RAM of my phone. What I need to learn to do now:

1) Take ROM backup and all working App backup using Adb and Fastboot to my computer so If I mess up again I have a fallback safety net

2) Remove Bloatware (Need to be done!)

3) Install Custom Recovery (TWRP) - It's not available on the internet (I am willing to provide this as a testing model at my end; please let me know what I might need to do)

4) Install custom ROM which helps me overclock the phone and use every piece of hardware that I can juice from this phone.

5) Keep minimum apps runnings (Twitter, XDA, Calling, Text, Google, Whatapp, and maybe Tapatalk - That's it!)

6)

IF POSSIBLE

move on from KingoRoot to something more reliable.....(only if possible i.e)

State of the phone right now:

1) Unlocked Boot Loader

2) Rooted via KingoRoot

3) MicroSD not working (Hardware Fault)

4) Stock Recovery

5) Ability to adb and Fastboot

Please advise on how to proceed from here. Again Thank you so much for all your help until now! Good day and God Bless you guys!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Fine, from here first you have to do is a backup before trying nothing.

Maybe just me but I can´t view your images.

1) Meanwhile you shouldn´t have a custom recovery you can use dd method to backup your partitions, just do a Google search with words "dd method backup android" and also you can backup your apps using adb, here´s a tutorial https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/backup-restore-your-android-phone-using-adb-ajibola-okubanjo

2) Now you are rooted you can use some root uninstaller app but be carefully with system apps.

3) Sorry for tell you but you wouldn´t find one, I saw a lot of strange mtk devices (I know this is not one) but software for this is null. When you take a backup of your patitions upload your recovery.img, I will give a try.

4) Custom rom is a different than stock one if you refer to. You can do some performance with some kernel tweaker but I don´t know what works with stock kernel. To made a custom rom you need to learn much about that maybe you can atleast port from a device with similar specs like processor, CPU, GPU and when most similar you have more chances to work on your device but how there isn´t kernel or any sources you can´t upgrade. You can atleast customize using Xposed, Layers Manager (maybe works). You can compare with these devices https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/qualcomm-snapdragon-400-msm8926

5) You can freeze some apps using Titanium if you don´t want uninstall. Also you can install some root explorer file and look inside your system app, priv-app, vendor/app, data/app folders and backing up before; see what you need and what not.

6) It´s possible, when you have your custom recovery you can flash supersu v2.68 or v2.72 will work although kingoroot injects some slippery files, I don´t know if Magisk can do this dirty work.

Hello all!

My charging cables keep getting fried, but the wall charger, wireless charger, and phones are all fine!

I have wall plug -> extension cord -> fairly old surge protector -> 1-2yr old Aukey 36 watt charger with two QC 2.0 ports -> 2 generic USB to micro B cables of different brands that keep getting fried -> one cable is sometimes connected to an S7, the other cable is connected to a few month old 'Pleson' 'fast charge' 10 watt wireless charger upon which I place an OG Droid Turbo with an unreliable charging port every night.

I've woken up twice in the past two months to a phone that isn't charged, and checking with my boyfriend's S7, both cables show as "charging over USB" despite being plugged into the fast charger. Plug new cables into the fast charger, everything works fine again, including the wireless charger. Plug the old cables into a different fast charger, shown as charging over USB again. Plug old cables into actual computer USB, shown as "charging very slowly".

I'm usually a pretty good googler, but I can't come up with a way to search for this problem that doesn't just give me "Crappy USB C cables ruin your life!"

I have no technical background, but right now I'm leaning toward the oldest thing being the problem, which is the surge protector. Money is pretty tight though and I don't want to go around replacing everything and frying cords in the meantime.

Does any have a good idea as to what is going on and what I need to replace?

Thanks!!
