Just upload them to rapidshare, megaupload, sendspace or such sites ... then you are no longer liable for hosting them.

Microslut makes their money for these roms by selling them to HTC and other companies that put them on their phones ... not end users ... so who really cares .. its not like they are losing money. The money is being paid by HTC and the other companies who manufacture Windows Mobile phones, and whenever you buy a phone that runs WM, it comes with it ... so the phone manufactures are making their money back....

In my opinion, if you choose to put WM6 or WM5 on your phone ... thats your choice. Phone's aren't like PC where you can put one together yourself, then download a pirate copy of XP or Vista and install on their... so if MS is going to be be a ***** about this, they can kiss our @$$es ... you know ... in my opinion :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
Hi folks,

I just got my brand new Pixel 2 XL and have two issues and wanted to know if they were fixed in the official 8.1 OTA (not beta). I have touch issues on the screen at the margins of the screen in the left corner. I am also plagued by some Wifi connectivity issues where no data is flowing even though the reception is great. I am on 8.1 with January security patch. I am just not sure if those problems were already addressed in past updates or if they will be fixed in future updates. Need this information for potential RMA.

Thanks,

Marco

[General Questions and Answers] paulckruger:
I have a topic active regarding getting my ATT Note 3 up to V.7 It seems as much as I love the Note 3, ATT and others don't want me to enjoy all it has to offer by putting up so many road blocks to getting it to a better state of being.

With that in mind I have a two part question.

1. Is there some place to buy a totally unbranded Note 3 or 4 that has

no locked bootloader

etc?

2. Is there

another brand

that has similar quality and function that is easy to work with regarding custom ROMs? ( I like the OLED display! )

( GSM for either ATT or T-Mobile use in USA ) I don't want to pay through the nose for a brand new or most current device, happy with older generation or good used device, but not even sure what to look for.
[General Questions and Answers] paulckruger:
1000+ pages!

Has someone boiled this down to a list of some kind? Second topic has over 1000 pages. By the time I read to the last page, there will be 100 new phones on the market? LOL

There must be a top 10!:mad:
[General Questions and Answers] paulckruger:
1000 opinions not specific

I did look around but way too many pages with far to little information.

Many people simply mentioned a make/model they like without any reference to it's ability to accept MODS or be rooted etc. I can make a list of available phones but that won't tell me if I were to buy any given phone that it lends itself to being rooted and modded.

That's why I was hoping someone with hands on for some specific models could point me in the right direction given that I specified the issue of locked boot loaders and not being able to install different mods.

That topic is too general and fill of likes and dislikes based on so many variables and I'm already 71! :laugh:

My Honor 6x is stuck on BLN-L21C432B151 (Europe)

I've updated by firmware finder to nougat however this gave me a nrd90 test key with no update available

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] awesome_paneer:
Today, I noticed that I had once a pattern lock and the phone just opened on swipe.

So, I went to settings and the security was set to swipe (I didn't change it). I clicked on it and the settings app crashed. Everything else in settings is working fine. Its just this thing causing trouble.

So the phone is crashing when trying to change screen lock

Some things you should know

1. I had rooted my phone with magisk manager about two weeks ago

2. I had substratum theme installed and overlayed on almost all apps including settings

3. After the settings crashing problem, I uninstalled magisk and had a full unroot and updated the security patch with a stock boot image

4. Everything else is still fine, but the settings crashing problem persists

I uninstalled all the apps that required root access before unrooting

Now the phone is unrooted back to normal no theme overlays, but the settings is still crashing when attempting to change screen lock and the fact being that it automatically changed to swipe

Any help would be appreciated

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulckruger:
I know this is the extreme route but....Samsung/ATT have basically shut owners out of upgrading their phones. Not one developer so far as I know has ever come up with a method to unlock the boot loader. Even using Safestrap, you cannot accomplish anything beyond a cute open padlock on the boot screen. Seems actually upgrading that route is impossible so Safestrap appears useless on and ATT Samsung Note 3 phone.

I've worked with "actual" computers including linux for years. A cell phone is basically a computer running a version of linux called Android, right?

The ROM in a phone serves pretty much as the hard drive in a computer, containing the OS etc.

Is there a way to wipe the ROM and do a clean install of Android or even Linux on a smart phone and get rid of all the carrier crap you don't want or need? Perhaps create a boot partition on SDCard and boot from there? :rolleyes:

When I'm playing music it sounds fine and I can hear all of the system sounds and etc. but I can't seem to hear myself or the other caller when I'm using the phone app.

Got the Xiaomi Noise Cancellation In-ear Earphones Type-C headphones by the way.

So... Is it the headphones' fault or is it the phone's fault? And if it is the phone's fault, what do I do to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Do you have a music manager, eg Viper, or the like. Perhaps if you do, the headphone profile is off/not activated, or if you have multiple music managers/equalizers there may be a conflict.

Is this one:

microsoft.com/en-ca/store/d/alcatel-idol-4s-unlocked/93t646gz04f7/07gb?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab

They say this in the specs:

GSM network: 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 2/4/5, LTE 2/4/12

So i'm afraid that i have no access to 4G network in Vodafone Portugal.

Even 3G, it sims to cover only one of the two frequencies used by Vodafone in Portugal.

If your referring to the Idol 4s, I wouldn't waste too much time. There have been attempts to do this on the open market model that have failed. If you need the phone to work in European countries you should buy the Idol 4 pro.

You can still attempt it if you want but if you don't know where to start then you're already asking for problems..

Just do searches in Google and on XDA if you need more resources. Note that you risk bricking your device or making it unstable too.

I am not the best resource for this honestly but I can try if you need help. I know enough to attempt what you want to do but not enough to get it to work I believe. I can help as much as I can.

Know that you most likely could mess up the radio bands on your phone permanently. We are not QC certified doing this just ordinary customers wanting to use our devices and so we could even brick the phone or semi brick it like I did. Which LTE Bands are you trying to disable/enable? You have to know that going into it.
