[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] korolirio:
Hello. I have a Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon with the Bootloader unlocked because I bought it used and I have an account lock that prevent me to use it (it is like a bricked phone because the vendor doesn't know about the MI account and xiaomi cannot unbind the device from the MI account because I have not the registration email neither invoce of purchase).

Searching a way to avoid the lock of the MI account I am trying to flash persist.img because I read that the data of this account is saved in this partition.

- I downloaded the mido_global_images_8.12.20_20181220.0000.00_7.0_global_3947ba5143.tgz

- I modified the flash_factory.bat in order to add the line 28:

fastboot %* flash persist %~dp0images\persist.img || @echo "Flash persist error" && exit /B 1

- I modified rawprogram0.xml in order to add the "persist.img" in line

<program SECTOR_SIZE_IN_BYTES="512" file_sector_offset="0" filename="persist.img" label="persist" num_partition_sectors="65536" physical_partition_number="0" size_in_KB="32768.0" sparse="true" start_byte_hex="0xf4000000" start_sector="7995392"/>

- I entered in EDL using the test points, flashed with MiFlash20191206 and it says "flashSuccess" (attached is the log of the MIFlash)

But when the new ROM starts and connects to the internet, the MI account lock appears again. Then I have a device that cannot be used when connects to internet.

I have read in some threads that persist partition cannot be flashed in EDL mode with the unlocked Bootloader but it seems that I can do it (not in FastBooot that says explicitly that this partition cannot be flashed).

I have flashed the persist image that comes with the original ROM but I haven't tried with the ones that users upload in order to avoid another conflict of MI Accounts.

I have another Redmi Note 4 working with the unlocked BL, TWRP and LineageOS 16. I tried to make a backup of persist from TWRP in order to flash it in the locked device but it says that the partition uses 0 MB and the persist.ext4.win file has 473 KB that makes me think I am not doing it right.

Please, let me know what you think. Am I in the right way?

Thanks :)

Yes, ANY other browser is better. Lol. But I use Chrome and the occasional Firefox.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] death365:
I personally like the beta version of the browser. It gets faster updates and u get to try the newest features 1st
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] strongylad28:
I use Chrome but has used Boat Browser in the past and that was very good
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lwid:
I use Free Adblock Browser which is based on Chrome
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tiongkia:
Chrome plus 1
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] umbrokhan:
Google Chrome does not have Ad Blocker, no dark theme.

so i use samsung Internet Beta with Ad blocker and dark mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] callumbr1:
I use adaway and substratum for black theme
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nathan.7118391:
I use Google Chrome here. I usually leave that browser alone. You could use Dolphin browser too or Opera. Depending on what you need. Check them out and see if htey work for you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lwid:
I'm boycotting Dolphin because they had some fiasco where they forced you to install some add-on to view pages.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bravo_alpha1:
I use Samsung Internet Beta and Chrome Beta. Sammy internet I like bcuz it integrates with Samsung Pass and I like using the iris scan to fill in and login to my accounts.

Why use a Samsung browser plugin when you can use a Knox based adblock that kills ads across your device?

Or better yet, root+adaway....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hussainmushahid:
knox based adblock such as disconnect pro ? because it doesnt adblock in chrome for me for some reason. If there's a better alternative let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Adhell 2

Works as well as root adaway

hey folks...i was on Nitrogen Rom and decided to try out R3Ds Six rom with oreo...now i went to update to his latest build and now when i try to restart my phone all i get is looping right back to recovery(TWRP)...never experienced this before anyone any ideas what i can do to stop this...i went into bootloader mode and then chose BP Tools which got me into my phone..but again if i restart right back to recovery(TWRp)...thanks for any help or suggestions
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojan horse:
I had the same issue a few minutes ago. This is what fixed it for me:

1. Install stock recovery and reboot, it may take 2 or 3 attempts before it reboots to phone (if it doesn't, then try leaving the phone untouched for a few minutes, it should auto-restart into system).

2. Install twrp again.

Also try after wiping cache/dalvik. Hope it helps.

Hope it helps.

Same problem, already fixed. I just install TWRP from google play store, and update the recovery from 2.8 to 3.1.1.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] umbrokhan:
Do you use S8+ Samsung experience or different launcher? if you use different launcher, which one? and why?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GTCC:
Nova prime, because it is better in my view to the Samsung one because of the scale of options you have to customize the screen. Then there are all the icon packs to chose from.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] PapaD78:
Nova launcher here. Tried a couple different launchers,but always coming back to Nova.

Everything you can customize with Nova fits me good
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
I've been using Action Launcher, I like how the folder set up works on it and they recently added Google Now integration.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] corwin_amber:
Nova Prime, because of customizability.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
Nova, stock launcher is a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 1011555:
Nova
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] CConn882:
I go back and forth between Nova and the Samsung launcher. Btw, I don't think the Samsung launcher is bad at all. The only thing I don't particularly like about it is the little notification tags and that the files are kind of ugly, but those are minor complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] asif9t9:
Like most I paid for Nova Prime a long time ago, so I'll keep using it if a stock launcher isn't better. I like having a bunch of homescreens. I have 6 at the moment. So that's what brings me back. I am making use of the Edge drawer. Well, sort of. When I swipe left from the right edge, the edge drawer doesn't always open. If it doesn't, then on the next screen to the right, I have most of the same apps in folders. So if I want to open whatapp, it's in the edge panel and on the screen to the right of my homescreen. Either way, two clicks and I'm there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] The_Tech_Princess:
I use Nova Prime almost exclusively. It's the Pixel launcher basically, but with a little more sexiness and a few decent features.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Cauchon:
I use Launcher3 - which makes it look like the Pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pego99:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] PearsonDKA:
Nova Prime is love, Nova Prime....

..is life..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Nova for ever
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
I use lawnchair for my default. basically just a pixel launcher with more features
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Shah1989:
Nova prime since day one! I've tried the touchwiz but find myself always reverting back to Nova
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] swrpgalaxy:
I use both Action Launcher & Nova Prime. Action launcher is better in terms of customization n colour combination. Nova Launcher has so many functionalities n I m lost in it many a times. For deep customization, yes nova is better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 3aucla1r3:
Nova, for all the above reasons plus I use the gestures a lot. I also like some of the themes in the Samsung theme store but don't necessarily like the icons that go with them so with Nova I can change to an icon pack like S8 Aspire or even Pixel Nougat and have the theme and icons I want.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BratPAQ:
Anyone using action launcher? How do I enable the icon labels on app drawer?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] umbrokhan:
lawnchair launcher what about security? since you can't download from Google Play Store..like unread badges...

virus, hacks, malware ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
I don't see an options in the settings, by chance is your font the same color as the back ground?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RazoE:
Been using Nova for YEARS. No matter what phone I get, I set all my phones up the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vonhinkle:
Nova, with Google dialer from the pixel installed... Screw TouchWiz
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
Nova FTW, been on it since the S4.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Trina9:
Right now, I'm using Arrow Launcher. It works the best for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] umbrokhan:
not arrow anymore, its Microsoft launcher beta, yeah looks nice.

am using Action Launcher for the time being

Stock Samsung launcher has a powerful search, can search anything on your phone. compared to Nova and 3rd party launcher's
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jblanken64:
Launcher 10. Love the WM look and feel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tecksulfur:
Do you have a link for Launcher3?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] therock3181:
NOVA Prime. Happy with it.

Hello and congrats for bringing us the latest Android version. No hardware video playback means no video cant be played right now?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] chinnupepsi4all:
ss please
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] ZakooZ:
Correct, video right now will "load" endlessly

You can fall-back to software decoding either explicitly through an app that allows for that or by deleting these lines in /system/etc/media_codecs.xml

Am hoping to see an update soon but I am checking it out, awesome, just a few bugs that need to be cleaned up. I understand that though

* Fixed issue where the system wouldn't allow taking screenshots

Surfaceflinger "GPU-to-CPU" fixups:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] ZakooZ:
Progress for 09-09-2017

* Fixed issue which caused boot to hang for 30 seconds without doing anything (fixed all boot crashes)

* Fixed GPS

Awesome! So glad to hear this! was wondering if I could message you personally? is that okay?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] DeanoD:
I gave this one a try on my spare tab. Which was running full AICwith no probs. I flashed the new ROM with a full wipe and format. It loaded and sorta ran...aside from the fact that the native keyboard kept crashing and would not allow any numerical input before doing so. Made it hard to see much more of the system. I'm guessing that it is supposed to play nice with Magisk.

Will keep trying the installs as they come... ;-DeanoD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] ZakooZ:
New build with the latest fixes uploaded...

I've noticed the keyboard crashes when clicking the "abc/123" button, as far as I know that is a google problem they'll fix soon... You can long press qwertyuiop to get numbers to finish the setup wizard and then install another keyboard on the store...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] DeanoD:
I have a great keyboard app that I keep in .apk just in case. Sorry, but you lost me on the "qwertyuiop" reference.... will try again later... ;-DeanoD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] ZakooZ:
In the default keyboard, if you long press Q you write a 1, W you get a 2, and so on for all decimals

Tkz for the rom work great so far. Videos playing ok with AC3 player. New test browser but deliver what is needed.

Rooting is on plans?

So nice to see the note 10 2014 still get this nice support. Thanks dude!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] DeanoD:
Keyboard fix...

I got this up and running and installed Hacker's Keyboard (my go to kb) and it works fine. A few settings are still "touchy" and there is a screen lag with input.

But, it is a GREAT start. Keep up the great work. ;-DeanoD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] DeanoD:
Testing...testing 1 2 3....

I usually like to test a new ROM and beat the crap out of it by just digging around to see what happens. I've found one of the best ways to determine how responsive the system is by running a standard solitaire app. With this build being so new and raw at this point, I'm being a bit more gentle with it.

Had my first freeze and lock-up already. Just wondering if it would be of any help if I were to post the saved post crash log files, and would I be sble to upload them here? But the pen input has something to do with the crashes just like it still does with the AICP Nougat ROM. Hope I can be of some small help. ;-DeanoD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] DeanoD:
Was it something I said, or just TMI? Silence is deafening.... D2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] ZakooZ:
Lol... I've been really busy with college so sorry for not responding

Everyone is welcome (and encouraged) to post logs after crashes, but the s-pen lockup issue doesn't show anything in the logs so it wouldn't be of much help. I have the issue so rarely it's almost impossible to get meaningful data on it...

For other crashes, yeah it would be great to get logs

Oh-ohhh!

There is an Oreo build and I notice it again as last, haha!

Can not try the built currently because I still hanging on the old kk bootloader.

I've ordered another flatband cable today, USB to mainboard, and will try to fix the data connections just to be able to try your oreo built.

I still love the effort you put on our old device! :good:

Maybe it holds up as long as the good old S2, which also got an oreo build these days.

Many thanks!!!

About to put LOS 14 on it, and i want to get that stable and up and running with everything i need on it, but then im more than happy to try this out, see what crashes and post logs... if i can help troubleshoot im happy to do that as well. Im an artist, slowly migrating my workflow (painting drawing graphic design, illusatration, photo restoration, logo/branding design, web design) from adobe/windows to linux. Ive got decent linux networking, source-compiling, digging around under the linux/android hood experience and id love to help make this little project great however i can.

Currently using Liquid Death - Drowning Forever -v 1.0. Build ld_n1awifi-userdebug 7.1.1 NMF26X 8 test -keys. This is a Feb 5, 2017 update.

My question is: Do I need to install a different bootloader? I seem to recall that shortly after this version was released there were some rom changes, but I don't recall off hand.

currently have TWRP 3.0.2.-0 recovery.

I was hoping that work on this wasn't dead, but I also see that the newest rom post was back in Sept. - been that long since I thought of playing around with this again.

Please advise about these questions. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for taking time to create this for the old P600s.

I really need some help, I have the CyanogenMod Version 12-20150223-Unofficial Android 5.0.2, which is very old, I just took this tab out of the junk to see if its still working and its still rocking with 70% battery after a few years.

I forgot how do I update to this version, can someone please point me to right direction ?

TIA,

Dhaval.
