NOTE: Tested perfectly on STOCK-Rom without any problems.

Pre-requisites:*

- Rooted device

- Terminal Emulator

- Back up!

WELL READ THE TUTO BEFORE ANY MANIPULATIONS (SAME SEVERAL TIMES)

Steps:

☆1.) Start emulator terminal

now for the codes:

☆2.)Now type:

☆3.)Now it's time to pull out the param.bin, which contains the splash logo:

☆4.)Now we must create a folder on main sd card:

☆5.)Then enter the directory:

☆6.)And untar the param.bin into the created folder:

If all goes well, you can see a param folder in your main sdcard (mine is in internal memory), which has all the bootloader's images. Just copy the logo.jpg to your PC.

☆7.)Now you can edit the logo.jpg to your liking - note that the background should remain black, and the size should not be more than +-400KB.

☆8.)Once done editing, copy your customized logo.jpg on main sd card

☆9.)Then, we have to paste it inside /sdcard/param folder, and re tar param.bin:

☆10.)Lastly, we need to return param.bin in system:

☆11.)After these steps, reboot!

VOILA! Now you have your won splash image!*

I've noticed that I no longer get the updated automatically and have to manually update the security update on my phone. No big deal, but on DP4 there's no page where they house the updates. So either the is no Aug security update or I'm stuck on July's. Anyone else have this problem? Would love to know it's not just me and my awful luck.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] KimJungCool:
Hello, fellow A720f owners. I messed up my Type-C port. While it can still definitely charge, still quite fast at that, the data transfer doesn't seem to work. So, no Odin for me.

Luckily, I've already rooted the phone and installed cmw as my custom recovery way before I messed the port up (submerged phone in a swimming pool for too long)

My phone went into a boot loop after I tried unrooting via SuperSu and rerooting via Kingroot (I was trying to see if I could really root my phone through Kingroot.) Because I saw that Kingroot was performing some shady actions (it installed itself as a system app for one), used root explorer to remove Kingroot from the systems folder.

I was planning on flashing a custom ROM via sd card, but I haven't seen any roms for the a7 2017 (6.0.1)

I failed to make a backup as well as I wasn't expecting things to go awry. (lesson learned)

So, I now have a question that you probably already know because of the title.

Inquiry: Is it possible to restore my phone using someone else's backup?

Request: If yes, is anyone of you willing to send me a backup so I can restore my phone? What other measures should I take to ensure that the procedure will succeed?

Some info I left out:

Model: SM-A720f (Open line, Philippines) [Surprise! I'm not Korean haha]

Build: A720FXXU1AQC5

Android Version: 6.0.1

Recovery: CWM

ROM: Stock

Thank you all in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] tys0n:
Hi. I havn't used CWM for years but I know TWRP can restore backups from a different phone, so cwm probably can too.

What you need is a backup of system, and maybe boot, and after restore you should probably have to perform a factory reset.

I would have given you a backup if I owned the device myself, but I don't, so I can't help you with that. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] KimJungCool:
I managed to get my hands on a backup now and well, I can't seem to get passed the md5 mismatch on CWM.

Been trying all sorts of methods for a while now. Still can't get past the md5 check. Is there a way I can skip the check completely on CWM? Or at least, make the md5s match?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gkenga:
Hello guys, I have a serious predicament that needs to be solved.

I haven't did anything major to my phone in years so the past couple days have been a nightmare. Ever since I did a wipe of cache partition after trying to get rid of this "unfortunately, contacts stopped working." message, it's sent my phone into a spiraling disaster. (I have been using stock 5.0 rooted rom for at least a year so idk why the sudden issues)

I've literally tried every method imaginable. I even tried flashing with different versions of Odin and still the exact same problems.

I can get my phone into DL mode easily but Recovery mode only works if I have the phone plugged in at this point (Actually, it seems like the only time when my phone wants to work)

Every time I'm done flashing, it'll load all the way up to the T-Mobile screen then restart the loop all over again :/

Really need help seeing as I need to get this situation handled before work today, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gkenga:
Nevermind, after more research, I decided to order a new battery and the problem is solved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spotcastr:
Bootloop solved with replacement battery

A replacement battery also solved my boot loop issue. Prior to replacement, it would boot to Galaxy S5 screen, and then reboot. Replaced battery and boots. Put the old battery back in, and it boot looped.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mwarner:
Hi all,

I have created a few TWRP installable Zip files to modify a Mi Max 2 (or indeed any other MIUI8 phone) in order to make the Max 2 more closely resemble a Stock Nexus or Pixel phone.

[IMG="MiMax2"]http://i.imgur.com/do2wA62.png[/IMG]

There are three sets of zip files, all of which patch Xiaomi.eu firmware:

MIUI to Google Apps - this zip replaces the MIUI apps with stock Android apps. This includes the Launcher, which is replaced by the Google Now launcher by default

Google Now and Pixel Launcher - These install either the Google Now launcher (included with the MIUI to Google apps, but allows us to swap between Pixel and Google Now), or the Pixel Launcher, which also modifies the build.prop to enable Google Assistant. Note that these are generic zips which can be used to install either launcher as a System app on any device.

MIUI DPI changer for 325dpi or 440dpi - This will work with any MIUI device with a 1080p display to change the DPI from 'high resolution' (325) to 'low resolution' (stock 440).

Installation

Firstly you will need to unlock the bootloader of you Xiaomi device, flash TWRP and copy a Xiaomi.eu ROM into the file system of the device.

1. Install the Xiaomi.eu ROM

2. Install the MIUI to Google Apps package

3. If you would prefer to use the Pixel launcher with Google Assistant then flash the Pixel Launcher package

4. If you would prefer to fit more content onto your screen (e.g. for a Mi Max / Mix series device) then flash the 325dpi package.

I have written up exactly what is removed and installed in the MIUI to Google Apps package here in case you wish to see precisely what changes are being made to the OS.

Hi,

Which dialer you are using ? Xiaomi or Google ? When google dialer the call-list/log are working ? Only with the miui-dialer the call-log are shown, but in the google dialer i can not see any calls in the list. You fix it ?

cheers, Peter
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mwarner:
Yes, I replaced the Xiaomi dialer with the stock Google dialer.

You are right - the Google dialer does not record history. I'm off on holiday tomorrow, but I will have a look at it when I return.

can you made gapps for miui 9?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mwarner:
I will take a look when MIUI9 is more stable. The zip file simply deletes and installs the apps that I have listed here, so may well work without modification on MIUI9.

Can this zip be installed on global MIUI ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mwarner:
Yes, it was designed for the Global ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ne0t:
Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question.. what is DPI? is it Dots (or Pixels) per Inch?

if it's then I'm confused how come 325 DPI is consider higher resolution than 440 DPI?

Screen density is a ratio of resolution and display size, which can be quantified as dots per inch, or dpi. The higher the dpi, the smaller each individual pixel is, and the greater clarity. Simply put, a higher dpi means more detail is displayed per inch, but does not necessarily correlate with a higher screen resolution.​
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mwarner:
Yes, it is a bit counterintuitive. DPI is, as you say, short for Dots Per Inch.

What you change the DPI setting in the phone, you are effectively fooling the phone into thinking that its screen is bigger than it is. e.g. if a 1080p screen has 440dpi it would be smaller than a 1080p screen that has a DPI of 325dpi. Android, therefore, compensates by making all the icons and text smaller so it doesn't appear too huge on the 'larger' display.

The effect of this is to make all the text and icons smaller on the screen, which makes it look higher resolution.

Thanks a lot for explaining.

Hello,

Please help me a little, it was a more than one year since I updated my fw.

How do I update to this firmware, I forgot the procedure?

Is it clean install, all apps/data are going to be wiped and must be installed again?

Is there a way to backup current firmware/apps, like twrp image or something (in case something goes wrong)?

Thank you
[MTCB Software Development] Johny DJ:
Backup with titanium backup all your apps you want.

wipe data/factory reset from recovery, then flash the image with clear all

With titanium backup restore your apps back, thats it.

2. Can you post picture, I didn't experienced this issue on my unit using the same image...

[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Hard to say without knowing the exact version of his ROM youre running currently, but generally its a good idea to update the software as it is on any computer/smartphone/tablet. You shouldnt have to wipe data if youre already using it.

Read the thread to see the improvements that have been made recently - he lists them all.

Thanks ! i was able to download using the rar file. Most of the functions are working great ! It's fast and responsive. Please check on the following:

1) I'm unable to see the task bar/notification drawer at the top. I'm on the default launcher. Do i need to enable it anywhere ? Check the photos below:

2) I couldn't find google maps installed by default. So i installed the latest version from the play store. Its working fine (fast and responsive), but it doesn't show up in the selection list when i press the navi button on the player (to set it as the default navigation app). I only see the following nav apps in the list:

[MTCB Software Development] Johny DJ:
1. Hm...really don't know what happend to statusbar... try to disable / untick all xposed modules and reboot to see if some of xposed modules is cousing problems... I hope you did wipe all data / factory reset and then clear all and install from usb/sd and after that you can try wipe all data again and reboot, but everything should work because it's the same image from dsa's just added all the xposed modules...,

2. Yes, I forgot it, I updated image again and here: just copy folder in the rar with root explorer to system/app and change permisions just Maps.apk to r-r-w (664) reboot.

Try just to find your launcher in the android settings - apps and clear data.

Hello !

First I have to thank you [MENTION=5228031]Johny DJ[/MENTION] for this beautiful firmware. It's faster than i ever had on my MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 1024*600.

Also I take this opportunity to thank [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] for their brilliant work in this adventure.

I love you guys, all as you are.

This said, i have a question : What's the difference between the first firmware (released 14/08 i think) that works really good on my unit RK 3188 (1024*600) and the release of today ?

Also my only "problem" is the text "null null" (like here : https://ibb.co/dL3dU5) on the screensaver which i think it correspond normally to the weather in Malaysk's rom. So i tried to install the weather app provided by Malaysk called "MTCWeather.apk" but it does not work. I have to precise that the display of the speed works OK.

Does this new release correct this little issue ?

Again thanks for all and have a nice day.

Cheers !
[MTCB Software Development] Johny DJ:
Thank you! :)

There is no so much difference, just added new screen clock, but there will be still null null. It won't work because it's settings are part of android settings from Malaysk.

You should try lockclock apk (its related to weather app)

If you find a solution I can update system image to get weather fully working, but I was not bothering with that, because then system will also use more ram etc...I will try to remove the null null item...

here are the apps you can try:
