[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason_25:
Hello and welcome to another update on this longrunning project.

The launch of the Raspberry Pi 4 came and went without offering any power savings so the project continued on without it using some alternative platforms. On the dual goal of being able to play PC games, it is only until recently that the 8GB Pi 4 had that potential. Unfortunately there is not enough overhead for Linux gaming even on most low end x86 PC platforms so there is little hope current Pi versions will make for a good PC gaming experience.

If you read the development notes you will see some experiments with portable PC stick hardware running games such as Kerbal Space Program on Linux but those devices were a dead end as far as power savings go. Both in terms of lack of power saving features and in idle and load power draw.

Currently there does not seem to be a small x86 device that has working suspend/sleep/standby mode in Linux which renders the dual goal of a Linux smartphone device that can play modern PC games unattainable.

The VIM3 SBC does have a working suspend mode as well as a wide 5-20v input. This allows for much more battery power and energy without the corresponding

wiring complexity and loss of efficiency that you would have in a device that required "stepping down" the voltage to 5V. "Stepping up" from traditional smartphone and tablet batteries comes with it's own challenges as well. Namely, the effective current limit, maximum available power and conversion inefficiency from such low voltage batteries.

On the gaming front all hope for portable gaming is not lost. I have uploaded a bonus version of Retroarch with VIM3 support to the releases area as well. This release is intended for and works well for the older console systems.

Maybe one day we can get a device with 8GB+ RAM that can play PC games and go to sleep. Until then keep building!
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason_25:
I thought I would slip in and give an update just short of a year. A few patches may be still to come anyway.

The goal of a PC gaming phone-like portable has been largely attained. The Lattepanda Alpha SBC specifically has 8GB RAM and can suspend to save power. With a MID based on it you can do the kinds of things you would do on a smartphone as well as play PC games with a gamepad on the go, keyboard/mouse while docked or perhaps even with the touchscreen. The Lattepanda Delta can suspend and has 4GB RAM and is a cheaper alternative. Recent PC games can be played successfully but I would recommend something like a Steam Deck for cutting edge games. If using Android apps is something you would require in a personal mobile device then the large RAM of the Alpha is something that should make emulation possible. When finished you can put the device to sleep and put it in your rather large pocket.

There is something to be said for a smaller more manageable mobile device that is more the size of a smartphone. Even if that means gaming capability is compromised. The VIM 3 is smaller than the Lattepanda Alpha/Delta and has different USB functionality making for a smaller and simpler overall MID. This is more of a device that you can put in your pocket and hopefully not have it break. You can put a plastic shell around it like a commercial device but you will find that one large enough to give good protection makes the MID too large. I do not consider this a big deal since one of the goals of the project is to put more control into the hands of the user and this includes the realm of repairability. In other words if it breaks you can fix it.

Thus 2 parallel ARM and x86 codebases are being maintained for now. Extensive troubleshooting has been undertaken to fix some long standing hardware

stability problems on both MID platforms as well. Addditionally, all main wiki pages have received an update. Finally, another bonus compiled version of the latest Retroarch source has been added that focuses on PS1 emulation.

A special message for XDA Developers users. Don't throw away your Android phones just yet. As inexpensive as cellular plans are you can keep your phone and tinker with something like this too. But remember that when the automobile was first developed it was considered worse than the horse. Over time it was refined and eventually surpassed the horse as a means of transportation. I think as computer parts become more commoditized ever time something similar will happen and nothing will be able to stop us from putting together a phone ourselves.

I am not sure where it is going to go from here but I look forward to using the devices now that the dream has come true.

Kinda disappointed there's no Pixel love, any devs out there looking to make an AOSP ROM?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pjd2011:
Honestly, is there even much reason to when stock is so good?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
To my knowledge they haven't released the source code yet for AOSP to be built off of.

Give them time, it is a fairly new device.

The reason is simple. No carrier Bloat!!!

I'm sure it will come with time.. I'm just putting it out there ? no disrespect meant in anyway.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] parmend:
I have the Verizon version what carrier Bloat are you talking about?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
If you put an active Verizon sim in any pixel it will install like 3 apps. No big deal at all they can all be uninstalled but for some reason people think it's a huge deal lol
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] maulich:
Yes for all of the functions and settings custom roms offer.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] drock212:
The Verizon apps are always there just deactivated. Verizon sim just lets the apps show up in your app drawer. Also the Verizon apps are always running in the background. Don't know why; I don't even have a Verizon sim in my phone but there they are.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Where are these apps?

Edit: there are no hidden disabled apps at all. They do not come installed on the phone. They get installed during setup if you have a Verizon sim card in and sign into a good account in the setup. I've had two pixels and done at least 10 factory resets and flashed full factory images. I've never had one of those apps get installed
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] drock212:

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] GuestK0037:
hi,

technically, u can build a working aosp 7.1.1 Rom for the pixel now, but its still a bit rough around the edges... I've already done it a couple of times. it comes with a few caveats though, by default its setup to use google's prebuilt kernel in the build, opengapps wont install without patching aosp and the build.prop in /vendor needs to be adjusted to match the fingerprint in /system to avoid an error on boot... all of these things are trivially fixable, but pixel on aosp isn't ready for primetime yet, Imho...

the stock Rom is much much better... I think until cyanogenmod and other Roms get working builds out, idk there's any compelling reason to switch to aosp....

lastly, idk aosp builds would be as fast ot optimized, im not sure how google's internal toolchain differs; are they using sdclang? are there optimizations in art, bionics, etc that haven't hit aosp yet? etc, etc
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] FernBch:
I too am keeping an eye on the custom ROM scene. I've always preferred the "lack" of carrier bloat, etc. Being a tester for some time has taught me much. Since the demise of my last device I am forced to take a break.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fracman:
Stock is really good. But I am looking forward to using substratum again.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] GuestK0037:
I've been using substratum but just for theming the navbar on stock/pixel rom.... Obviously, if you try to theme systemui you will get a bootloop though (as expected. lol)... On top of that, I did also play with theming individual apps, mainly phone and google play which both worked, with the particular theme that I was using...

Theming would be nice on stock, it's too bad that google ripped out the dark theme that was in the N previews, I would have been happy with that, myself.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
I think I'm most looking forward to the extra features that get baked into custom AOSP Roms and the full substratum support. I'm not a big fan CyanogenMod, but I do try them out from time to time. Always seem to go back to AOSP tho.

I am using substratum to theme everything but system UI. All individual apps, settings etc.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] GuestK0037:
ya, I've contributed some patches to CM - but since getting the Pixel, I'm fairly happy with Stock. There are only a few features that I miss in CM that aren't available on the Pixel and even when I was using CM on my s5 - I always had to rip out a number of CM's features; all of the CMstats (analytics stuff), a number of their apps + adding my own keys since it is insecure (and arguably quite silly) to be using public known keys on ROMs (although, afaict - many third-party roms tend to do that.).

I'm thinking about rolling my own AOSP for Pixel -> pulling in only the features that I want, most of which I have patches for and only a few bits would need to be tracked down that I don't have. not hard to find though... Now that TWRP (RC1) can actually restore backups I can start actually looking at playing with AOSP without losing my stock rom that is already setup. :)

You would probably have better luck asking this in your device specific forum as the members there are more familiar with your model and its particular issues, it wouldn't surprise me if someone in that forum hasn't already had this issue on this model.

I've turned it over and chewed on it for a minute but with the troubleshooting that you've already done I can't for the life of me think of other steps for you to try because you've done everything I would do already plus I'm not familiar with your exact model. I'll keep it on simmer and hopefully a butterfly will land on my shoulder and bring something to mind that might help you. You've pretty much covered all the bases already.

Helloooo

I have a galaxy s5 900T, but I am in Europe and I have problems with the mobile network.

Individual network frequencies are unavailable, so I do not have 3G and 4G networks in some places.

I'm thinking to install software from Europe version of s5 900f on my s5 909T but I am not sure is that possible.

Can someone explain to me whether it is possible or why not. For example, CyanogenMod is the same ROM for both models (900F and 900T, and mire else s5 with Qualcomm procesor.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] monoxian:
I have a Huawei P9 AL10, changed CUST to L09C432 and had installed the Android 7.0 beta on it. I tried to downgrade back to Android 6.0 with eRecovery by holding power and both volume buttons 3 button combo and then started to flash the L09C432B182 FULL UPDATE.APP package via dload SD card. When I boot, instead of booting normally, it boots to eRecovery and loops every time I restart my phone and asks me to download the full package from the server. I try to flash a full package from EVA-AL10 but it says wrong package... I cannot boot normally anymore and the phone is stuck and I don't know what to do now. Anyone know if this is a soft brick or can I still fix the phone?

[EDIT] Now solved, I factory reset my phone via volume up and power. The phone boots normally.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexigram:
Hi,

I tried to fix my kids' broken digitalizer. All went fine, I have replaced it but the Y axis was reverted. I found on the net some description how to do it, it did not work so I had a brilliant idea of rooting it using Kingo ROOT. This was one step too far. I am now stuck with a permanently booting tablet. Tried to wipe out cache, etc. Nothing works. So It looks I have perfectly working hardware without the suitable software. My question is now: how do I reinstall Android on the tablet?

The model I have is Fusion5 108 (can be found on amazon.co.uk - cannot post links :( )

I know there are no generic Android distributions for tablets but perhaps some can advise something. I am stuck with this and have no idea how to proceed.

Thanks a lot for help in advance

A few days ago, my phone started charging very slowly. Fast charging wouldn't work. When I went into settings/battery, it says "charging via USB" instead of "charging via AC". I also have no fast charging, regardless of whether I play with the settings. I also have no OTG and my computer won't recognize my phone. I've scoured forums and found no credible answers. I have replaced my cables and brick, and I have tried it with my S6 and they work fine. I'm going to try a factory reset. Is anyone else experiencing this? And any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] talvigi:
Why don't you clean your devices USB port before you got to factory reset, bcz phones get a lot of dust and even mud in these ports mostly when people put them in their pockets filled with unclean things. And I have myself seen that my phone get mud like things in it after every couple of months and actually I clean it very rarely. So I think take a little bit of stick or tooth pick kinda thing and digg it around inside the USB port trying to clean the connectors and see what happens.

So, I did that, and yes, it worked. But now, it stops charging randomly. It charges and says charging via AC but then randomly stops
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] talvigi:
Than my friend I'm sorry to say that now may be either your phone needs to be repair to the extant of USB port or you have not clean it that much a paper pin cleaning the connectors heads may work if it indeed is so much dirty but things sometimes go far beyond our thoughts and they need to be done the way they want it.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S6 (sm-920v). I get the same thing "USB Connected" (extremely slow charging) regardless of the cable and charger I use, also no OTG or Computer Connection. I tried other chargers and cables (OEM and aftermarket) that work fine on other Galaxy devices. I've tried changing the USB settings, it won't even connect to a computer in DM mode. It takes over 6 hours to charge it from 0% via USB and will just maintain a charge when using the phone. A wireless charger will cut the time in half. I'm pretty much stuck having it plugged in all the time when using it.

Any help woud be greatly appreciated.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebaconbox:
I was on android device manager and i clicked the button that said "enable lock and erase". After about a second, the buttons were enabled. Now, when i go into developer settings on the phone, OEM unlocking is turned off. Should I worry? I am running Pure Nexus (0802 build). The phone is still on and fully functional, and I have not rebooted it since. I have tried multiple times to re-enable oem unlocking in developer settings, it asks for my pin and after i put it in it stays off. Maybe my custom rom doesn't even have the code in it to mess with anything like that because it knows it is running on an unlocked bootloader? I went into google settings on the phone and unchecked the box that says enable erase and lock and now i am back to not being able to do it in android device manager.
