Hello everyone: I know development has been slow; the LOS Installer is nowhere near done and it has been nearly a year. 1.5.0 is ready to roll (I think) but I didn't have time to build the .exe file and eventually lost track of time. I was going to today, however, I recently wiped my PC due to frequent slowdowns (and a bunch of Junk I didn't care to go through). Awesomium (the in-app browser view for downloading TWRP, LOS, and GAPPs) seems to want to get everyone hyped for "an upgrade" but in turn doesn't have (an obvious) download link. When I can get ahold of Awesomium, I'll build the Installer and publish the prebuilt version.

Just for the record, I was going to add a link a user would click (labeled as their device) that would automatically download LOS, TWRP, and GApps, but after taking a look at the licensing, I simply cannot. TWRP and Open GApps rely on ads to run (obviously) and mirroring would circumvent their advertisements. I respect that these sites need to do this, which is why this option cannot happen.

I know that this project is likely dead by now, but I'll keep trying. An installer, if it is stable, could make ROMs more mainstream and popular. I would love to see LineageOS as popular as CyanogenMod as it was back in the day, and I hope my project can help that dream become a reality.

EDIT: Nevermind about Awesomium; I used the web archive to download it! It should work fine.

Hello all, I have another message. I'm completely recreating the application to make translation easier (all text is set programatically at runtime) and instead of using images to emulate material design, an actual skin will be used, among other things. This will be a 2.0 update that I hope to complete soon.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] PJBeans:
I know no one really looks on this forum any more but I'll say some stuff anyway. 2.0 has been released with a bunch of changes. The application was completely recreated from scratch. It also won't fail to open on start-up. I encourage anyone interested to give it a try. It still only supports Nexus/OnePlus devices, but I intend to get Samsung devices supported soon, followed by others that simply use an unlock website.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Hey guys.

I was asking on Google+ what we could do to improve the Honor 8 comunity.

It was said for me to look over on MoDaco.

I had never heard of it so went and had a look.

I found a forum set up for our wonderful phone the Honor 8.

It's all set up, ROMs, Recoverys & TWRP.

I found it all.

It also has a tool to help build a custom ROM. Honor are obviously putting money into the development community for the Honor 8.

The only thing missing is for people to get involved to make it all work.

I think that we have a great phone here with a great future.

It's up to us to make the comunity for this phone work.

Have a look.

OK mate. Thanks for letting me know that
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
That's his loss.

From what I can see the Honor 8 is going to be a very suppored phone.

They seam to have latched onto the fact that people will buy phones after thier initial release based on the support for thier development opportunities.

They look like they have put money into this MoDaco forum and tools for making ROMs etc.

I'm very happy with my honor 8 and I have come nowhere near wanting to root (yet!)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
Yeah we can only wait and see

You know Honor broke their promise on the H5X and it's not getting EMUI 5 / N anytime soon only security patches

I have been with Honor sense the 5X was released and Got the H8 on a Black Friday deal. It's a nice phone on EMUI 5 / N

But their software development is very slow compared to some of the big name players

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] gambit3rd:
Hello, I bought a N920T unlocked (wifi tether seems to work good too) and I live in Europe. I'm having a couple of "issues". Apart from missing the BAND 8 for WCDMA which I was aware of, I'm running into a couple of "troubles". I'm on N920TUVU4DPK6.

1) TEXT TO SPEECH. I can set my native language, Italian, but I can download the Normal Quality pack only. The only one High Quality pack available in the list is Korean. I can force download Italian HQ from Galaxy Apps but then I can't enable it. What's up?

2) S-VOICE. Fully working in Italian too but it shows me weather in Fahrenheit degrees. No available option in Settings to change weather settings. I'd really like to see Celsius. Stock weather Widget is working fine... Any tips?

3) SAMSUNG CLOUD is unable to backup. Tried it a lot of times but an error occurs. Always. No problem on Note 4 (when they released the fix, some day ago). No fix on Note 5 and no Samsung Cloud? (Used Smart Switch for now)

Just matter of curiosity:

4) No emoji suggetions in Note 5 keyboard? Missing it from Note 4.

5) No way to read (text to voice) notifications, caller id, messages, alarm names as used to do with Note 4?

6) This was really WEIRD. When i bought it (pre-owned) I was litterally stuck on a very old fw. COK one if I recall good. I tried to update using OTA and Smart Switch but it stated that my phone was up-to-date. No OTA available outside US?

I flashed N920TUVU4DPK6 using Odin and everything went good. Checked system status and it's Official. Checked Knox counter with Knox Status from playstore and it's not tripped. So can't figure why I can't just update using OTA or Smart Switch. It sounds so strange to me.

Thank you and happy new year!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] projectseahorse:
Hello All,

Recently I did a factory restore on my Axon 7 in preparation of unlocking the BL. I have decided to wait on the unlocking until later. Since the factory reset, I have noticed that the phone has been automatically exiting Pokemon Go after either a manual lock screen or the auto lock screen kicks in. This appears to be unique to Pokemon Go as I have tried with Yelp, Waze and 9Gag and after each lock screen, the app is still there (for example if I'm on Waze and looking at a map, when the screen locks and after I unlock it the display is still at the place on the map where I left it before the screen lock. However, for Pokemon, if I lock the phone and unlock it, the phone would automatically exit Pokemon so that I had to reopen and reload the app after unlocking my screen) Before the factory rest it would not have this problem. I'm not sure why my phone is automatically killing Pokemon Go after the phone locks. Any advice is greatly appreciate it!

Many thanks for your help on helping me resolving this matter!

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drudeboy:
Which ever streaming app I use, (Sky Q, Sky Go, BBC iplayer, ITV go, BT Sports, Amazon etc) The video always crashes after playing approx 20 mins give or take. In most apps I end up back at the home menu, only in the BT sport app does it recover itself and re start the stream.

It's always after about 20 mins, bugs me to f**k. It's happened on every sytem update since I got it not long after release.

Any ideas?

[YotaPhone] Att2000:
Was wondering if the yotaphone 2 was good for that price and if it's still getting supported officially or on xda.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Yes, it's still getting support officialy. On xda there is someone who wants to build a CM rom for it. I think if you always wanted it but the high price stopped you, now is the moment! I got it at 100€ last month and I'm reeeally happy.
[YotaPhone] Jack_Hardin:
The team behind the smartphone sure seems pretty active, with the recent MM Beta program and the update of the SDKs, I strongly doubt they'll abandon official support anytime soon.

Plus, consider that what you're paying a hundred bucks for a phone that used to cost 500 and more. IMHO HW is great even for today standards and you probably won't find the same build quality in any "more recent" smartphone at the same price.
[YotaPhone] pokeminatour:
I want to buy this phone too but i've got a one quick question(so i wont make another topic). In a review i saw the rear screen is changing when you take a photo. Is there any option to disable it and take a hidden photo ? Thanks for answer :)

Yes, just disable the toggle here and nothing will appear on EPD screen when you take a picture.

[YotaPhone] 1248:
Curious

The back screen seems to be different. A coated plastic instead of glass.

I'm curious where you saw it for $107.

Cheapest I saw was $118 at Gearbest but that one has the Snapdragon 801 where all the AliExpress sales have the 800.
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
Mi

Yes the 106.99 USD price was 2 days ago on Aliexpress for a YP2 with snapdragon 800. I didn't know that Gearbest sold the YP2 with the better , more modern snapdragon 801. The aliexpress price varies with the USD/CNY exchange rate, today the cheapest price is 111 USD. But you can also easily pick up coupons for an extra 1-5 USD discount, more if you are a new user. Of course if the supplier changes the processor, he can change other things.

Personally I'm waiting for the price to go below 100 USD before buying one. Although I would pay extra for a stronger glass on the EPD side.
[YotaPhone] rapa123:
I have brought one in November for 119$. You should buy! it's totally worth. Just to make sure upgrade to YD201

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

According to YOTAPHONE the black glass is made from ceramic coated not plastic.

I have brought YD206 model from Aliexpress and upgraded to YD201 the processes is "qualcomm msm8974pro-aa" AKA Snapdragon 801 2.27 GHz
[YotaPhone] 1248:
Could you point to the specific AliExpress site where you bought it??

It very well could be a ceramic coating.

All I know is if you brush the screen against something it leaves marks on the screen.

I know one guy who sanded the coating off and applied some sort of liquid coating.
[YotaPhone] rapa123:
I'm using near a month now and I have dropped the phone 3 -4 times. The front screen has couple of very tiny scratches but nothing on the back.
[YotaPhone] 1248:
Totally believable but I have several medium to large scratches on the back screen, but only in the coating.

It didn't stop me from ordering 1 with the snapdragon 801 from Gearbest yesterday.

I hope the battery life is improved with the newer CPU but the 800 worked well.

I'll carry this one in a nylon case.

With the software/apps Yotaphone has done there are few, if any other phones I would prefer under $200 USD.

The one from Gearbest was shipped by DHL Singapore.

No idea if that means a thing. I've been dealing with Gearbest since July 2014 >80 items and never gotten a crap product or one they would not stand behind unlike Bangbad and Ali.

[YotaPhone] 1248:
Not quite.

To me the huge difference is the 801 supports onboard HEVC decoding which equates to much better battery life since the vast majority of video I watch is HEVC.

The 801 has a number of other differences as well, but most aren't important to me since I don't game or run many CPU intensive apps.

I did my homework before spending the extra money.
[YotaPhone] rapa123:
I think you misunderstood what TheArt said. He said in YotoPhone2 originally came with 800 but the seller has over clocked to 801. So you don't get any of those features or performance as those articles explain because it is just 800 but with bit of more speed.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
No, he was right. I thought that the only difference between Snapdragon 800 and 801 was the max GHz reachable from the CPU, but he proved that there are other differences.
[YotaPhone] 1248:
Thanks for the links. Gearbest is out but maybe they'll help someone.

The top one is the 801 for the same price I got at Gearbest (117.99) but for $4.30 more I got DHL shipping.

The bottom listing is an 800 CPU which doesn't have on board HEVC decoding.

Even if I could find an 801 Yotaphone 2 on AliExpress for $10 less it's not worth it to me.

The search time and the insecurity of an unknown seller on Ali.?

Add DHL to the Aliexpress price and I bet Gearbest is cheaper.

I've been buying from AliExpress since it opened and my experience has been that Ali is often cheaper on small inexpensive items but not on most electronics over $25 USD.

I also buy from a dozen other sites and have a pretty good idea where to buy most items at the best VALUE.

That's my business.

My first PC was an IBM 1130
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
In most countries if you import using DHL you are guaranteed to have to pay customs duty, collected by DHL of course (up to 30%). In the manager's pocket anyway. You have to be unlucky to pay customs duty if you use regular post. And if you do it will the correct amount, not a concocted DHL profiteering amount. I think the posters here don't quite appreciate the sheer volume of fakery in China, they will copy anything and everything. The Chinese will fake antutu testing apps, for me the glass is never gorilla glass and the battery is not the standard one for a Yotaphone. Any retailer from China may be selling fake stuff.

[YotaPhone] 1248:
All of your points are valid. VERY valid.

But there are ways to protect yourself.

I ALWAYS pay with Paypal if possible AND if Paypal use a credit card which I have had for 30+ years at one of the worlds largest banks. They have the muscle to retrieve my money in case of problems with Paypal. (once in many years)

DHL in the US seems to be honest. Same here in central Mexico.

I had 2 packages with tablets and other items by DHL from Gearbest delivered between Xmas and News Years with no duty.

I expect the same with the YotaPhone 2. Worst case is a $9 duty so I'm not worried.

I´ll just show customs the PDF of the sale page on GB. I always print my orders to a PDF file just in case.

The coasts are a different story. There many customs brokers are corrupt and are owned or controlled by the cartels.

I have good relations with Mexican customs and have recovered duties in many cases when they were incorrect or increased by the broker. After you correct a few "mistakes" and call the head of customs in your area and the capitol word spreads and mistakes stop happening. If it continues US, Chinese and Mexican customs WILL fine or arrest dishonest brokers if you can prove it. I have no experience with other countries.

Most Chinese sellers will value items at their cost or lower instead of retail, especially for regular customers.

Many do it automatically.

Here in Mexico any package with an official valuation under $100 USD (yep, they use USD for the valuation) is duty free.

I've been importing and exporting from and to China since 2007 and know the regs and many ways to save money.

(I often break up orders to stay under the $100 limit) I

In 2002-2005 my imports from Ecuador to the US were all made by indigenous Ecuadorians, etc.

One of the reasons I like dealing with Gearbest is if I have a problem with a product they will make it right with much less hassle than BangBAD, SLOWTech, AliExpre$$ and many other outfits. YMMV.

This is all off topic and I will say no more. My apologies.
[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
The good thing (if there is a good thing) about this sale is that it forces the price of 'legitimate' YD201 phones in Europe down to the same level. There are plenty of folks who have owned this phone, grown to like its lack of stability, speed, incompatibility and also its ability to just drop dead on you and require total rebuilding for no reason. They will be offloading their phones (as will others who have bought the YD206 cheap), locally, so you likely won't have to do anything radical to get your hands on one.

My last one was hard bricked when I used Yotaflash to downgrade from 5.0.0 to 4.4.4 when I got cheesed off with the short battery life. Luckily I got my money back that time. The problems I'm having this time round are the GPS (or rather glonass) .. it seems pretty flaky in terms of reception... and the lack of Telegram, which is somewhat critical for me. There are various nice features, like NFC will allow for Android pay, and the wireless charging works really well. The back screen is great, and Yotamaps is fab outdoors! However, signal strength can be great one minute and useless the next so as a daily driver... I'm not sure. As a toy to mess with then it is fine and at this price not too painful if you brick it.
