Problem with the Pixel is it did not support my carrier. I had to do some fancy work, changing mbn_sw.txt files and such. It is strange, because the modem files are on the phone, but not configured. Then you have the issue of dm-verity blocking you from making the needed changes. If you change that in Magisk you just get bootloop. Once I sat down for a couple hours yesterday, first time I had that much time since getting the phone, I sorted it out. Now I just need to figure out why custom rom flashes fail on the phone.

[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] Any idea of how to mod a vendor.img and repack it with a correct signature so it does not trip the dm-verity bootloop? Haha, still going to bug you buddy.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
You'll never be bugging me :D.

It's somehow weird that it has support for your carrier, but it isn't enabled lol.

I don't know about the vendor.img as I've never did that nor heard of that before, but I know that you can disable dm-verity in kernel like this. Maybe it'll work that way.

I've just reminded that there's also Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disablers.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
Thanks for being a friend, seldom does that happen on forums. I did the script already , :) , before you mentioned it, booted once, but not twice. Kernel side I would need to mod /verdor and /system to change files, messy filesystem. Flashed vbmeta.img with the disable verity and all is good now. I think a userdebug build would fix it, but have not really had the time.

It works now. I wrote on the pixel 3 forums about how to switch it. Problem is it is sloppy and nothing flashes for me either. Hope people wake up over there or I just got a piece of garbage. (nice phone though) :eek:

Where is [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION]e

Are you ok mate? Note I am asking outside of this device.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
I will reply to myself. How have things been going everyone? New devices, new troubles :cowboy:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
Nice to hear from you Robert. I am well aware of the brainwashing thing. I remember my younger years in school were very bad. I new they were trying to sell something that was not real and was constantly in trouble. They want conformity, good workers and consumers, who will not question anything. They start this out very young. Good thing my Mom always taught me to question everything. I am teaching my son the same, but know he is getting near the age where doing that will get him in trouble.

About the meat thing, well, diet is a highly contested issue. Each person is different here and what works for one person might not for all. I would not say people should eat meat, and people definitely should eat a bit less of certain meats, but it does have its value in the diet of millions of people. I respect you prefer not to eat it. It is very important that if you do eat meat you have a source that you can trust. Definitely, most meat in the West is grown on hormones, then has preservatives and dyes added to it in the processing. Fresh meat is not a processed food though, so I would say most of this stuff is more like a meat product. We have different pasts, I grow up hunting and living on/near farms. The butchering process is not so gross to me, though I still get a little squeamish killing a chicken (wont explain the process, but not something I like).

Family and life are going well here. Son is getting bigger and has started speaking a lot more English. At work, I will be teaching Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition next year (part of American high school curriculum to get university credit in high school).

On the device side, I like the Pixel and even running stock is good enough. Most mods can be done with ADB on the device. There are some good custom roms, but there are also problems. TWRP finally updated for the standard Pixel 3 today, but it too ages, which was causing issue with signature keys in custom roms. Google decided to make a few things proprietary on the device (active edge and the google pixel stand). I don't care about the stand, but the squeeze feature is quite nice. Dirty Unicorns managed to reverse engineer both, which is awesome, but most of the custom roms have not merged the needed commits. Many of the well known roms are unofficial, and the people building them say they will not add the commits unless the main roms do. For example the person building lineage said he would wait for LOS to merge the commits. I guess he is not considering they wont merge them because there is no official maintainer for our device. They will not merge commits for an unofficial device. I could build it, but I am ok using the Dirty Unicorns rom for now. AEX is official, but they have not merged it. A personal issue I have is that every monthly update causes me issues. The vendor.img google pushes is missing a line to point to the correct modem file for China Unicom (my provider). The modem file is there, just the txt does not point to it. Every update I have to remove verity, add the line to the txt file, factory reset, and put verity back. Really annoying.

Hi Robert, https://youtu.be/3GtM689X2IM is a great video to get an idea where my generation stands. I can go back anytime, but don't want to, neither does my brother. My mom is also trying to immigrate. If you are curious about the brainwashing thing (not sure xda will allow so just pm me for the link).

I looked into this person, and no, just no. His initial thoughts are ok, but his justification is not.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
We are missing a response from [MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION] always great here.

I thought I could just build AEX, and I can, but not official (and missing features that are there). If @#hentake could give some pointers about what changes I need to make I would be indebted to him. I need to change the DirtyUnicorns Blueline/Crosshatch make files to build AEX pie. I tried changing things out by changing du to aosp, removing the du in vendor and such. Wont work. DU builds fine, but I am not sure what I need to change to get AEX to build.

I am using:

Vendor

https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_vendor_google

Device 1

https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_device_google_crosshatch

Device 2

https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_device_google_crosshatch-sepolicy

Device 3

https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_device_google_blueline

It is not getting along with:

https://github.com/AospExtended

Again, I know the DU make files need to change, but I always seem to be missing one.

Not meaning you must look it over, but you could always explain things well.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
hey guys, sorry for the absence

I want to share my opinion about the topics you are talking about, but for now I could just read them =/

So everything is ok, I just didn't have the time to reply but for certain in this week I'll comment your last posts =)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
Hi Robert, I will get off of the actual debugging topic. I will possibly PM you when I have looked into it more and have concrete questions. It is just the device trees not being set up to build AEX and the unofficial maintainer not sharing the actual trees he used (just where he got trees before modifying them for AEX). Then it is simple to commit what I need.

I don't like that Tesla quote. I mean I like him in general, especially what he said about Einstein, but it seem a little bit disingenuous. Most people who go to a vegan diet even have to heavily supplement, or are malnourished. You don't need to eat meat (beef, pork, chicken, lamb), but most people do need some sort of animal products (dairy, fish, eggs) at the very least (or chemical supplements). For example, many Buddhists are vegetarian but do eat dairy and fish. What gets me about the Tesla quote is it does seem like a sort of brainwashing at the end. He suggests that things like oatmeal are better because they are more economical. Things like bread, oats, beans and rice are very high in energy, but very low in any nutritional value. They are the food of the poor workers to get them to work more for the least cost. This is their traditional use. It seems he was just showing an elitist view, but I doubt he was eating such food himself.

That is a form of brainwashing. The complete blackwashing of things that might be good and whitewashing of things that are not. Take for example the anti-war movements of the 1970s. In response to young people standing up and going against unnecessary war, war which only benefited rich, they insert people into the movement and have them do horrible things. Take for example Charles Manson. He supposedly was part of the movement and killed a bunch of people. It is pretty clear he was intelligence and meant to make the movement look bad. He came from a very rich family which links back to European nobility, most likely no one died and he never went to jail, but the common people tend to link anti-war to crazy, psycho murderers. Or, I mean, to go back farther, look at Karl Marx. He was also from a super rich family, as was his wife. He called for complete government control to overthrown the industrialists, but he was an industrialist. In truth, more government control only meant the industrialist could have almost complete control of the workers. It is a type of brain control to make you think people are opposite of what they are. Marx, for example, is sold as being poor and blah blah blah, but he was super wealthy. More wealthy than most people could even dream about.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
I will start from the bottom and get to other parts later. Tesla basically called Einstein a hack. He had stolen theories, most of which can never actually be tested.

Edited out my thoughts as that would go against the rules in the OP.

Sucks about the devices. We all go through these hard times :highfive: If you have another bbq in Brasil please invite us :victory: I promise [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] wont eat all the meat:p

Found one of the less offensive Tesla quotes: "What is “thought” in relativity, for example, is not science, but some kind of metaphysics based on abstract mathematical principles and conceptions which will be forever incomprehensible to beings like ourselves whose whole knowledge is derived from a three-dimensional world."

In other words, it is all untestable garbage.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
We do a lot of bbqs here xD Mostly using nice and fine cuts, from what I know from US (read here "from the movies") the bbqs there are mostly with hamburguers and sausage. Is this accurate? xD And For #Henkate we can some veggie recipes. That way everyone is welcome =D

Well, before sleep (I'm kinda sleepy now right now) I wanted to talk a little about this Tesla x Einstein topic. Tesla was truly a genius. But every genius is a human and humans make mistakes. When Einstein had his annus mirabilis, a lot of controverse was around it. The fotoeletric effect, for example, could only be properly tested years later and after some scientists tried to see how could it be wrong, everyone just realized that, well, it was not. The same about relativity. Einstein proposed something that was, in physical terms, a lot ahead of its time. But there were already experiments that proved him right and the mathematics to it were well stablished already. Therefore, the special relativity had good roots but bad explanations to it. The guys that came before Einstein were too busy trying to find or put everything dependent of the eter. What Einstein did was to change how things were seem and to be honest, after a lot of testing, it made much more sense than the previous thought. The eter was discarded because it wasn't needed anymore. But he had another challenge yet. His theory didn't took into account accelerated systems and the gravity. 10 years after he (with help as far as I know - for the mathematical parts) included what was left and now relativity was whole. The funny thing about it is that it isn't untestable at all. After some years, we had some testings about the time dilation, predicted in the special relativity. About the general one, we are still confirming (year after year, decade after decade) the predictions that comes after his theory. Just fyi, we have applications for theories: GPS. It is entirely based in the predictions of Einstein's relativity and we sure know that it works. GPS would be a truly mess if relativity didn't work.

My point here is: Tesla was wrong about relativity. It is already proved experimentally what he claimed as metaphysics based, in other words, it is real physics. It, in anyway, proves him as dumb or whatsoever. He just didn't see (and didn't want to see - smart guys tend to be sttuborns) what Einstein (and later, others) saw. Einstein did something like that too, about quantum mechanics (his letters exchanged with Niels Bohr are famous and nice to read), but this is another topic xD

Other thing, Einstein didn't stole anybody xD He had a lot of free time while working in the patent office and he had time to read and think a lot. He was reading a lot of research that was being done by his contemporaries which led him to his articles. Probably, if he hadn't done this by the time he did, others would have come to the same conclusion, just like Newton and Leibniz did it in the past with calculus (different countries, different motivation but same result. Science, as any other knowledge that humans can provide is a product of its own time).

We can get away from the physics discussion as I think we are all geniuses anyway. BBQ in the US does tend to be burgers, steak, sausages, but also can include vegetables. Here in China it is mostly vegetables and some meat. I like bbq fish and sheep. Add some broccoli, some peppers, and some potato and I am good.

Hi [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION], [MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION], y'all!

I know that it's been months since we've spoke last time and i still got to reply to your previous replies. I'm really sorry for that! I can't say that i didn't had time to reply because there was time. There were times i wanted to reply, then i reminded to search about something or something else crossed my mind which i wanted to search about and ended up postponing every time and eventually didn't even post.

I'm not gonna answer to the previous posts right now for the same reason. If you're wondering what's up with me, well, I'm still same, but i got my first job finally 4 weeks ago and on 15th January i'll get my first salary. I'm working in a deposit where you have to take orders with a scanner, pack them, prepare the packages for delivery and there's also reception and returns which you must take care of when needed or told to do so. The contract is unlimited, but the testing period or whatever is called is 3 months. I hope they'll keep me at least 3 months and more than that.

Regarding development, i can't build for whyred since long time due Google Cloud Platform not allowing me to build (that should change with a new bank card though). I didn't even work on whyred since i got it.

What's up with you?

The main reason i post now is because i want to wish y'all Merry Christmas! I don't know about the place you live, but Christmas was here two days ago (25th December). I know that i'm late, but here i am. It's something i've been doing yearly on XDA (for the other community which I miss too).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
Hey man! Nice to know you got your first job :)

here in Brazil, the first 3 months are called test period too, hope it passes fine and you continue to work

I'm not a teacher anymore, I paused so I could study and then I tried to enter computer sciences course on Unicamp (I already studied there, when I was studying physics), a great University from Brazil plus it's located on my city :) I already passed the first stage o/ the second and final stage will be January 12 and 13, wish me luck ^^

finally, merry delayed Christmas to you all too :D

soon we come here to wish happy new year too, but to [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION] we have to wish it again later (when gonna be chinese new year on gregorian calendar this year? I'm not sure)

Hi [MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION]

Hope all is going well in Brasil and Romania, here in China things are a bit hectic. My family are all doing well, but I am not allowed to return to work. We have mostly just been in the house for the last month. Kind of lame, but it keeps us safe I guess. Where I live there has been little infection and no deaths, so it seems ok so far. The principal of my school was actually on that infected cruise ship :o and no one knows when she will return. Lots of crazy rumors flying around. My family were quite sick in mid-December, so I would not be surprised if we actually already got this virus and fought it out. Not willing to do anything risky though, as I do have my family to think about. I probably would have ran off, but my son and wife are Chinese passport holders, so they cannot get out so easy. I am not willing to leave them. Just thought I would give you guys an update. Stay safe out there.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
Hi man! Sure is good to know that you and your family is safe. Here in Brasil, things are quite safe for now (at least about covid-19). Although Brasil have good relationship with China and do a lot of trading, for now, it seems we don't have any case of it here yet.

I'm well informed about the subject myself, because I follow a great YouTuber account about science (Nerdologia, sadly only in portuguese) which is also a specialist in virus and he is following the subject close and always making Twitter threads about it and also a video. Well, at least I'm well informed as the news gets to us. I hope you and your family stay well!

Quite a coincidence that the principal of your school is in that cruise. First time I heard about it I thought "I don't think that they're choosing the best way to handle it". Turns out it wasn't :( I really hope that we can find a way to fight this out.

EDIT:

said this way to soon :(

yesterday by the night we had the first confirmed case of it. The man was in Italy, spent 3 days at carnival party and now is in quarantine. Probably he helped spread the virus to a lot of people during the last few days (without being conscious of it ofc) and we can have a covid-19 outbreak too because of that ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
It will be ok, just keep health and avoid crowds of people. Be cautious when touching things and get some hand sanitizer. It will be ok in the end. :highfive:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
Thanks a lot for the tips!

In fact, since the outbreak in China, there is a virologist who is getting info and turning it into layman's terms. Then he record short videos and send via telegram channel so we can send it the way we want (most of carriers here gives special data plans for WhatsApp and Facebook for example).

For now, there are only two confirmed cases here (both men and they both came from Italy) but there is more than two hundred suspect cases.

I really hope you are safe there and that a vaccine can be developed soon to help mitigate the virus dissemination.

It can be hard. Things here in China are basically back to normal. I have to wear a mask when I go onto the campus I work at, but otherwise, no big issues. I am lucky as my job was not threatened and I was paid in full the whole time.

The sad thing about this whole ordeal is that it was basically nothing, but the response of governments made it a huge issue. I have needed to send money for my mom, just so she can have a working car to go buy groceries back in the US. I am with you on your opinion. I have been in China this whole time and do not know a single person who had/has this disease. Though, many of us suspect what we thought was the flu in early January was actually the yearly corona virus. Yes, there is a yearly corona virus and always has been. Kind of odd they decided this was the year it would matter.

Anyway, I hope things get back to normal for your country and your life.

I'm using the latest magisk version. But I came back to chinese rom (caz-tl10c01b180 - can't update to emui 5 :/)

Today I tried to flash superSU, flash works, but root doesn't. Then I tried magisk and I'm using it normally now. About the chinese firmware I mentioned, it is encrypted by default as emui 5 (yours device is chinese too, right?) So data partition doesn't mount inside twrp and if I format it, the device won't boot anymore :(

With bluesmoothie backup I can mount data without problems, but I wanted to get back to the original ROM and try to upgrade to EMUI 5, as I can't do it with his backup.
