Great news - 1st device purchased!!!

Hello everyone,

The core team has made a purchase! We now have one device going to Olipro. Once received, Olipro will work his magic to get the devices unlocked and we'll have a post so everyone can download the unlocker.

The device was £410 plus £9.95 for shipping, totaling $855.75 USD (yea sorry for changing currency on you). Its a German Orbit 2 variant.

The new balance in the PayPal Donations account is now $201.63 USD. Only a few more hundred to get the second device for cooking.

Thanks to all who donated to get the devices and let's keep it coming. We're not too far from the second device. Meanwhile, Olipro will get working on the unlocker and SPL upon receiving his device. The device should arrive at the destination within a few days. Upon receipt we will post an update so everyone knows the status.
[Touch Cruise General] energy59:

would it also be possible for olipro to make a restore spl? i mean to make a spl with original values for warranty reasons?

thanks in advance

[Touch Cruise General] Pawel062:

[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
It was hard :p

But I ment: when we get some drivers (one way or another, the bounty isn't for just decoration only) it will be included in homebrew ROMs aswell, or did I make a mistake somewhere?
[Touch Cruise General] Pawel062:
well im am trying to get cmonex and olipro to work on the driver issue by particpating in the bounty and driver project. if they dont get a fix before someone else or wont work in it then i will add in the fix when/if it is available. also oli got his polaris. official statement coming later today from ltxda.
[Touch Cruise General] LTxda:
official project update...

Well, as PK mentioned already...the device has made it into the hands of Olipro.

We should see his SPL work released sometime before this weekend so get ready people.

PK is doing everything he can to work on the new ROM but without a device it's difficult for him. He enlisted the help of a couple of users but after testing the ROM, it is still alpha quality and very buggy. When he gets his device he will be able to do more focussed work to get things resolved. To his credit he was trying to get it done remotely but it wasn't working out. You guys have to give him credit for trying here.

On behalf of the Polaris forum, it's members and the core team...I would like to thank those of you that have continued to donate for the cause.

After the recent purchase of a device, the new total in the account is $239.77 USD. That gives everyone an idea of what's needed next.

Have a great day people and let the unlocking begin very shortly. Stand by! ;)

I have been reading through and learning from the posts about the Polaris and the Polaris Project and have donated to it but as a person with no experience in tweaks, registry editing and cooked roms I would like to ask if it would be possible for an idiots installation guide when the cooked rom comes out. Thanks.

hi

so when this is released and done by the fine people here working on it, I will we able to switch from my german rom/os to a english rom right ? because what i have gathered so far is that the 02 xda orbit 2 has to be CID unlocked first right ?

After I bought my Polaris I tried several roms for my XDA Neo. I (or better my girlfriend) feel very confident with a cooked ROM and looking forward to the new Polaris rom. Also for the sim unlocker. At the moment I have no chance to use my company sim card and for this reason no blackberry service.

Exellent work! Keep it up!

[Touch Cruise General] DXL007:
My HTC TC is unlocked and can use any sim.. Why do we need to sim unlock it if its already unlocked?
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
I'm new to this, but my understanding is the project will remove the CIM lock, not the SIM lock.

SIM lock most commonly stops you putting a SIM from another network in your handset. (The project will not remove this, but it can be done).

CIM lock stops you putting firmware other than your network providers firmware onto the device. e.g. if you bought it from vodafone, the CIM lock stops non-vodafone software being put on it. ("Why?" Well, network providers tend to limit some functionality which you might want back, amongst other reasons).

I'm sure an expert will correct me if I'm wrong here.
[Touch Cruise General] Pawel062:
i think u mean CID aka carrier id. that is so u can load roms other than htc or ur carriers including custom/cooked roms. rest is correct. carriers also fear bricks and people coming back whining why doesnt this or that work, like for tmo say web and walk.
[Touch Cruise General] DXL007:
Ah got it now.

[Touch Cruise General] heeleven:
I'm new with cooked roms etc, so sorry for asking,

but is it possible to backup your 'old' ROM before you replace it by the ROM you guys are making.

And is it possible to backup your device as it is currently, with all the programs I've currently installed into a ROM, so that, when a hard reset is needed, all your favorite programms and settings are restored?
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
My O2 supplied TC came with Sprite, a backup tool, which I assume will allow you to restore following a hard rest. Haven't tried it yet, and don't really want to! :)
[Touch Cruise General] academic:
Same for the HTC Touch Cruise original.

Sprite work well.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
Is anyone planning to make a camera mod for this phone?

The camera app itself is great, but I really want to have access to a denoise/noise reduction setting, if possible. It bothers me how much noise reduction this phone applies, and I'd love to be able to at least disable it, if not adjust its intensity.

I honestly have no idea how I could go about making my own, since I have no experience there, so I figured I'd ask if someone with experience is thinking about making something.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mrtruckincowboy:
probably third party apps that will do that on google play while you wait
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
I tried my usual choices: FV-5, Open, Google, but none removed the reduction.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Shoot RAW. That removes the noise reduction and everything else and then you can try to apply on your own. So far, I haven't seen any decent noise reduction apps though.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
RAW is great and all, but it's really inconvenient. I have it turned on, but I don't want to have to pull the file up in Lightroom to edit every time I take a photo.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
try Open Camera... that usually gives me the best photos regardless of phone
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
I did. Noise reduction persists.

I'm not really looking for an alternative. I'm fine waiting; I'm fine if I have to live with the noise reduction. My question was just if someone is planning to make a mod.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] netgar:
How To shoot in RAW?

I couldn't find any options to do it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
It's not available in Auto mode.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] netgar:
Thank you. So if I shoot in manual mode all pictures are in RAW ?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
It's an option you need to turn on in the settings. It'll give you a JPG and a DNG.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flp11748:
Hi!

Have you found a way to tweak the noise reduction applied in the stock camera? It's driving me nuts - the pictures are less sharp than my LG G4.

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
Like I said, you have to use RAW capture in Manual Mode. You can use Lightroom Mobile to edit and convert to JPG.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flp11748:
Well, that will take a bit more effort that I wanted.

Have you tried other camera apps? I'm trying Google camera and Bacon Camera but still haven't reached a conclusion in comparison with the stock camera.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
I can look into the camera app to see if maybe there's some multiplier it's using for NR (maybe even add an option to set in Settings.Global), but I don't know how successful I'll be.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flp11748:
That would be awesome. I'm trying other apps but the results aren't better than the stock camera - most of them look a little worse. Maybe it's the sensor that is not that great.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flp11748:
It would be nice to try a port of the new camera app from the V30. Maybe it improves the image a bit.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
Have you tried OpenCamera? that seems to do a pretty good job for me...

+1. there was someone doing a port of it over to the LG G6, but with no plans of making it work with the V20 and unfortunately it does not work at all on the V20.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flp11748:
Have tried a lot of camera apps with no success. They all have some excessive noise reduction applied. I've already tried open camera - it doesn't seem to make a great difference.

Maybe the noise reduction is applied at kernel or camera libraries level.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ahmedyar91:

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
Hi,

I was flashing many different ROMs in attempt to find a solution to something I was trying to accomplish. In the end, I gave up and decided to go back to stock. I used this instruction to revert back to stock: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833

I followed the instruction under Android 6.0, MPH24.49-18-3 FIRMWARE that said to do:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot reboot

I remember when flashing system, there was an invalid sparse header message, but it kept going, so I let it. After that I rebooted bootloader and flashed TWRP again. I then rebooted bootloader once more and entered TWRP. There, I proceeded normally. But then I realized that there was something wrong when I couldn't do the full wipe. I went to look in the mount setting and saw that TWRP was not able to mount internal. The internal was also listed as 0MB. I'm guessing that I need to re-partition/format the internal (or I don't know what I'm talking about lol). Either way, I'm now unable to flash a ROM. Can someone please help me?

Thank you in advance.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Find 18-4 firmware, it's newer anyway... the sparse chunk size error is the problem, the system.img file in that firmware file is too large for the phone to flash via fastboot (thus, it probably isn't an official image, or it's an image for the engineering flash tool, not fastboot). The proper image file with have 6-11 sparce chunks you need to flash individually.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
I think i made it worse lol... Because I was getting many errors (random reboots), I decided to do a full wipe to install a ROM fresh. When wiping in TWRP, I accidentally wiped "internal" too. I'm guessing that I need to do something to correct this before I can flash 18-4 firmware. Please let me know if you know what I need to do. Thank you.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
TWRP shouldn't be a part of this, nor should it matter whats on your internal storage, this is all done with fastboot.

Factory reset in stock recovery, reboot to bootloader, then flash the complete image with fastboot.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
The instruction in that post said to not worry about the sparse error message, so I went with it. This is what the post said.

"You may notice a "sparse header error" when flashing at the beginning. Don't worry about it, all is well. The current AutoFlashFirmware.bat file doesn't work with this Firmware file. Flash the files manually!"

Also, i posted above too, but I just accidentally wiped internal via TWRP too. Do you know what I need to do now in order to get my phone back? I've found solutions for other phones regarding this situation, but I haven't come across one for Moto X Pure. This is what happens when you work on your phone all day long and some more into late night lol...

Thank you very much for that. You mentioned that I would need to factory reset in stock recovery first. Do I just fastboot flash a stock recovery from the firmware zip file from 18-4, boot into its recovery, reset, and then follow the instruction above?
