DETAILS

There may be a possibility.

You will need to provide details about the device model, number, and options -specifications, in general.

And it would be helpful if you could describe how you have arrived at your current state of boot-looping.

Then one of the knowledgeable members here may have some experience to share with you to try and help.

Excellent, now they have something to work with and ring bells if they possess experience with this, or any similar, device.

Unfortunately, that's not me. But you are in the right place!

You may want to try a FORUM SEARCH, too. Just in case there is an active thread for your device.

Never mind, I did it for you since I was typing about it. CLICK HERE.

Still okay that you've asked here, but you might find your answers there first while you wait for a response.

I'm wondering how to odex a lineage 15.1 rom
[General Questions and Answers] Gheddox:
So i recently bought 2 LG Stylo 4 off ebay, I saw that they used SIM cards so i assumed they were GSM phones, through research i found out that the carrier which is tracfone is cdma only. So my question is. Is there a way through software or hardware modification that I could get them to work or should I just buy 2 GSM mother boards and just replace them?:eek::eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Isaac Zackary:
First post and complete noob!

I've been searching the web for some answers and keep getting directed to XDA-Developers. So here it goes.

I'm looking to replace my Windows Phone and my frugalness tells me to buy an Android phone instead of an iPhone. The whole reason I'm looking to replace my phone is that Microsoft is ending support for it this December. But everything I read says that most Android phones get security updates for only 2 years, with the exception of Google phones that get 3. The problem is that I really don't want to have to pay for another phone just yet. But if I'm going to have to anyway, it would be nice to have a phone that lasts a while, not just a couple years. So my questions are:

Is keeping an Android Phone for 5 years or so reasonable?

Do security updates really end after only 2 years?

How important is it to keep up with having the latest Android version?

Would installing a custom ROM or OS be the way to go to keep up with the latest security updates?

Does it matter which phone I get?

How hard could it be to install a custom ROM on a phone?

Thank you in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is a difference in hardware, not just software, if it's CDMA then you're stuck with CDMA. There is one exception, "some" CDMA devices have been known to have a GSM(Global) mode that allows them to be used on GSM network, I doubt that a TracFone device is one of them.

[General Questions and Answers] GOOGLE_USER:
WHEW!

Oh, thank goodness you are here!

These questions from these new members are topics that I could speak on but I lack the depth of knowledge to provide concrete answers. Furthermore, I was paralyzed by the thought of follow-up inquiries. I didn't know where everyone was!? But now, here you are. WHEW!

[MENTION=9928501]Johanno[/MENTION], were you able to find any information amongst those threads that helped you?

[MENTION=9930618]Gheddox[/MENTION], I have a Stylo 4,, CDMA originally via Comcast -a Verizon MVNO-, and I now am using as a GSM just as [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] has described [correctly] as being one of these uncommon examples of a device possessing this capability. The question to determine is does the specific Tracphone variant maintain this capability and I'm kind of leaning towards similar doubts, as expressed by [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION].

Under SETTINGS - NETWORK & INTERNET - MOBILE NETWORKS - SYSTEM SELECT you may find the ability to choose GLOBAL option. Though I'm uncertain that would guarantee operation with your prospective service provider. IF you have the GLOBAL option then, by all means, seek confirmation through that provider.

You might also Google search on GSMArena.com or similar sights for Tracphone device specific interoperability with GSM.
[General Questions and Answers] Gheddox:
I thought as much. I think i'll just buy a T-mobile motherboard on ebay and swap it out. Ill try and contact the network to find out but as you said i doubt it because looking through the phone its missing things a regular stylo 4 would have such as the NFC and fast charge. phones takes about 2 hours to charge from 0%.

Now that I think about it for some reason in the sellers post they showed the IMEI on the screen on the phone but now that search the phone status i'm only seeing the the MEID. According to the Googles MEID=CDMA and IMEI=GSM, so maybe it has it. But when I follow your instruction and go to MOBILE NETWORK the Phone pushes me out of the option so i dunno.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, my Tracfone Stylo 3 doesn't have it either. They probably removed the option to prevent switching the device to a GSM region/network.

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

1) yes, plenty of users here are using devices well beyond the 5 year mark.

2) depends on the manufacturer or carrier the device is bought from.

3) not very important but at some point, certain apps and features stop working when your android version is too old to support new software.

4) yes, but it depends on whether or not the developer of the custom ROM takes the time to update the ROM when security updates are released.

5) the phone you get doesn't necessarily matter, it really depends on exactly what you are looking for in a device. Depending on your purposes and what kinds of things that you will be using the device for may or may not be a factor in deciding which device you choose. There is a thread here in the Q&A section intended for people that are looking for new device suggestions, post your questions there concerning which device to choose.

6) it depends on the particular method required to root and/or flash the device. Some are easy, some are complicated and risky, it all depends on the exact device model you choose.

Try battery recalibration methods if

actual usage

does not reflect diminished battery.

*EDIT* I would deplete the battery with device powered on and then FULLY recharge with device powered off.

I was just curious really whether or not you were experiencing less usage time with, what is possibly nothing other than, an erroneous charge state being reported.

I was talking to my brother about it today and he made the point that phones arent made strictly cdma anymore as its old tech barely anyone uses so he told me about the secret menu that probably exists on the phone and it worked D:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, that's the dialer menu to access radio settings, very handy in different ways, it can actually be used to gain more overall control of virtually everything that the radio does and when.

Also, it isn't necessarily a matter of it being "old tech", it's a matter of that is the network type that two major cell providers use and they usually do just about everything they can to prevent their devices from being activated on other networks. That makes for a lot of CDMA devices that they would prefer staying on a CDMA network if they had their way about it.

The Windows phone and Nokia sections would probably get you better and more experienced answers. Most of us are only experienced with the typical android devices.

Not sure if you're serious.. I've a Nokia 5..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The point is, yes, it's android, but it's android that is of a flavor that isn't exactly what most of us are use to. AmazonOS is also "android" but it's still quite a bit different "under the hood", so to speak. I still say that the Nokia section would get you more experienced answers as the members there are definitely more experienced with Nokia devices than most of us here.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The typical battery calibration methods such as draining completely and charging completely or the battery calibration apps "should" work, if they don't then it's probably a device/firmware specific issue, at least in part, which might require device/firmware specific experience.

Oneplus 5 flashing custom ROM or kernel or both

Hi there, please help me out in figuring out some things.. This is all about my phone oneplus 5.. I have rooted the phone and I have installed xposed and magisk, and later I installed Device ID masker app, now I found that Device ID masker is not working for system apps while it works for system apps in other phones.. I contacted developer, he nicely replied it works well for system apps, if it is not working for system apps in your device then system apps are directly reading the values.. Now I want to know if I flash custom ROM or custom kernel or both, then will ID masker app work for system apps or not..
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
System apps are a part of the ROM . So if you use a custom ROM things might change.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Boot into stock recovery and then choose the "wipe cache partition" option, after the wipe finishes, reboot the device.

If that doesn't work, backup your contacts, apps and other important or personal information, then boot into recovery and choose the "factory reset/wipe data" option, then reboot and reinstall your backed-up data.
[General Questions and Answers] whbisondtr:
Yeah I tried clearing the cache and was hoping not to have to do a factory reset, but I'll give it a try. I appreciate the reply
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, I know, but sometimes there are things left behind from before the update that doesn't play well with the update, factory reset or manually flashing the update via your device's flash tool is usually the solution.

Please xda devloper help me

Hi xda devloper please any devloper make custom rom for my device plz because my device stock rom has very bad and it seems facing hanging so please i ve requested you please help me make custom rom for me

My device is Itel

model--it1407

Android version - - 5.1
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
First of all, to build a ROM for a device, the developer needs to actually own that device to work on it. I don't think there would be any developers here who would own the Itel it1407.

Furthermore, your phone only has 512mb of RAM, so it's never going to be a fast device. Also, it costs ₹3233 Indian Rupees. That works out to $46.33 USD. You can't expect a budget device to work as well as one that costs more.

I do realize that you might not be able to afford something better, but don't set your expectations too high for something that is in that price range.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

There shouldn't be any problem with this. I was using a 64gb card formatted to exFAT on my last device, a rooted HTC 10. My current device (Pixel 2XL) doesn't have expandable storage or I'd be using it in that as well. I can use the card via OTG though, without any problems.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I seem to be having trouble with the language from my bluetooth keyboard to my tablet. I have the Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus. Had it for over 6 months now and I always use the keyboard to type. I can't get the hang of typing on the screen. Just today, I noticed that it is writing some other language down. One that goes from right to left. For example, I have written the first sentence of this post on google docs and taken a screenshot and attached it.

I have spent quite some time trying to find ways to change the language in settings and i haven't found one yet. Only the pop up touch keyboard writes in English. I have tried with several of my other bluetooth keyboards as well as ones that attach to the USB port with an adapter, and they all now seem to type in this same language. Until today, this was never the case and it is really odd. As i have my tablet in a keyboard case with a touchpad too, i effectively use it as a laptop. I can't really use it unless this problem can be solved.

Does anyone know how i can change this back? This keyboard isn't totally the UK layout. I'm not sure what it is, but with every other tablet and this one until now, it is recognised and every key does as it should. That is no longer the case. Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It should be something like going to system settings>language & keyboard/input, you should see the Bluetooth keyboard listed as one of the available input settings/devices, select it and then you should see where it shows the language for that input device, set the language and keyboard layout to the language/country you want.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
This attached screenshot is all i can see in language and input settings. On all my other tablets an i think used to be the case on this one, whenever a bluetooth keyboard is connected, there is an option for physical keyboard. I was in the language and input settings for a while yesterday trying to do things but I couldn't sort the issue out. connecting a bluetooth keyboard I would have thought is a rather common thing for people to do with tablets so I don't know why i can't find the options to change the language. I've used this tablet with at least 3 different bluetooth keyboards in the past and it used to automatically know the layout of them. Now it seems fixed in arabic or something no matter what keyboard you use.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The keyboard must be connected to the device when you go to that setting, it will not list the Bluetooth keyboard as one of the available input methods without being powered on and connected. I only see it listing your standard virtual keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I know for certain that the keyboard is connected as i was using the touchpad built in to it to navigate around. On my old tablet which i am currently using to type this now, with a bluetooth keyboard, it says physical keyboard and there is an option to change the language. The top option allows me to change the language. And at the top of the list, is arabic which maybe explains why my other tablet goes to this. But on my Lenovo tablet, even when i know the keyboard is connected, i do not see a physical option in language and input settings and i can't understand why. I'm almost wondering if there has been some update that has introduced some compatability problem. I have checked what you said with 2 other tablets, they are as you stated and only show it if the keyboard is connected. But that isn't the case with my Lenovo tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try booting to recovery and wipe the cache partition. This sometimes straightens out issues with Bluetooth devices.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I have done that now. I also disabled bluetooth and also removed any devices i had connected to it before. I then linked this keyboard and the same problem is here. Stuck in the first language that would be in the list (that would be if i could see it). But there is no option for physical keyboard in the "keyboard and input methods " section of language and input. I guess my next option may be to contact Lenovo. Or I may end up totally resetting it to default and see if that sorts it out. But it will be very poor if it is impossible to write any other language with any external keyboard. I just can't understand what triggered this when it has been fine up to the past 2 days.

I do apprichiate your help. I really hope there will be some way to solve this as i type an awful lot on my tablet and being without a useable physical keyboard is very difficult as the touch one is a pain and fills most of the screen.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Just to put it simply, here is a picture of what I'm able to see in the language and input settings page. My Lenovo tablet with the issue is on the right. It seems really odd. It is obvious that the keyboard is connected to my Lenovo, as the touchpad works and it does type, just in the wrong language. But when i look in physical keyboard setting on my old tablet which is using an almost identical keyboard, i can see that arabic is the top option. but this has detected it is english and has recognised it correctly. I simply do not see the physical keyboard option any more on my Lenovo which I know for certain always used to be there. Incredibly strange.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This is a well common issue with Xiaomi and sub-brand. Unfortunately they uses different kind of panels like ie Tiamma, boe and a other derivated, this difficults to devs to adapt drivers for all them.

Of course Miui roms from Xiaomi are compatible with all its devices but this doesn´t happen with custom recoveries, roms, kernels, etc.

Discover your kind of panel using a hardware info app like Aida or Device Info HW and put to the consideration of the developer of the rom.

You can find EDL cable on a service repair shop also available on many internet sites for sales. You can make it too by your own easily following some of the available tutorial on Youtube.

The EDL cable is to force device to enter to EDL/download mode and you have to start it from device totally off, some devices like Xiaomi once they were unlocked (not before) enable this option by using a combination keys that is pressing the two volume buttons at exactly same time to connect device to pc through an USB cable.

According this site One Plus 5 was released on 2017 with Nougat. https://www.xataka.com/analisis/one...ara-para-seguir-molestando-a-la-gama-mas-alta (I know it´s in spanish but perfectly readable in tab specs)

It´s not possible as far as I know to flash an Android version lower than the Android version that came with device out of the box.

Not even you´re wanting an unsafe/risky downgrade but a chimera and I´m not referring to mithology.

Here you have a list rom collection and how to flash a stock rom onto your device https://www.getdroidtips.com/oneplus-5-stock-firmware/ but only a member that own this device can sure you that downgrading it you won´t brick it.

As a side note Xposed has some development working as a module inside Magisk environment and I think that the old Xposed development as in the old days is deprecated/outdated.
