[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BubbaRob1978:
Just got the Verizon V30 and I do have AOD on. When I put the phone to sleep with power or knock off I have trouble waking it up. It appears the screen goes off totally when I flip it over or put it in my pocket. Whe I pull it out of the pocket it will not wake up with power button or knock on taps for a good 20 seconds or more.

I cannot find a setting to stop the screen for totally going off when I pocket the phone. I can confirm that I do NOT have the smart lock feature enabled. I’m just using a PIN code unlock, no facial or voice recognition. I really like the phone but I can’t have this happening every time I take it out of my pocket or turn it over on the couch.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bilbo60:
Do you have any screen protector on the phone? Any battery saver apps or settings? In my experience the AOD is suppose to go off when turned over or put in a pocket. I haven't seen a way to change that. Mine might take a couple seconds to awaken, but never 20 seconds.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caio_oz:
Were you able to find a fix for this issue? This started to happen with mine
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] brossovitch:
I just began having this issue. Do you still have the device?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BubbaRob1978:
It never worked correctly so I got rid of it. My coworker still uses his and has no issues. Sorry I can't help more.

I try it by my V30 and had no problems. It is eventually just a random bug?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caio_oz:
I have my since December from last year and only now it started to behave like that.. I don't know if it is a software issue or hardware issue of some kind. I've tested the sensors and they appear to be fine.. I will try to do a backup of my data and perform a hard reset to see if it helps, but I'm not counting on it...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nemeziz 56th:
I don't use AOD. Just try it to reproduce the problem. Maybe my V30 get the same problems after long term use of it.

The only problem i get random with screen is, that after a restart the colors get crazy there are not normal after enabling Comfort View all get back normally but it is a other story.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caio_oz:
I did some tests (issue of being a former Senior QA Engineer). I've tried disabling the AOD and the same thing happened. What I just did is disabling the Knock-On feature.

I need to test it more thoroughly but the issue didn't happen after that.. YET. I need to go somewhere, with the phone in my pockets for a longer period (even though by now I should've seen the issue again) just to be sure and even trying to enable the Knock-On back again.. But let's see..

As for the colors, I really can't say much because I've never used the comfort view feature (I usually just dim down the brightness at night and that's all).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nemeziz 56th:
Yeah test it i will it do too. I enabling the AOD and say you next day when i get some problems.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nemeziz 56th:
I testing AOD since yesterday and dont get any problem until now.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Markbarr:
Hello, I had the same problem, the proximity sensor fails, although the tests say otherwise, download an application from play store, fix sensor, solved!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caio_oz:
I still need to try the Comfor Color to see if it happens here. Is only that I always forget to try.

With mine the AOD worked well since day one. I did some things that seemed to have fixed somehow...

I've removed the device from the case I was using (a simple thin one). gave it a good cleaning, forced the power button for a while because I was feeling it was getting stucked. It seemed to keep showing issues HOWEVER, after I disabled the Knock-On feature, left it off for a while it stopped to have issues. I enabled it again and now it is working perfectly... I don't know if it was a coincidence or a sum of all factors.. but now it seems to be working...

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

Take a look at my previous message (i replied to Nemeziz) I did some things and it's working so far...

By the way, what is this app you were talking about?

Can't download app from AppStore

I Can't download app from AppStore. My kindle show : There are no apps to install, since your administration hastn't made any available to you yet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:
Was so excited to see this but after doing this all to a T Gmail still crashes if I open on email with an attachment...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bakshi:
Oh no!

I forgot to mention to disable the automatic download of attachments in Gmail and set the sync interval to 10 days. Make sure Gmail is force closed, data cleared and on airport mode when you do change the your Gmail account settings.

Let me know if that works!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:
Thanks. But just tried all that and same issue. As soon as I open an email with an attachment, it crashes. Others have looked into this and it has something to do with Gmail not working with Amazon download manager I think.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Zeljko1234:
That's temporary, right? Just when making gmail system app?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] oscarcx:
Quick question. What's is this "Amazon download manager" thing? Since Gmail is not working with Amazon download manager is there a chance to replace the Amazon download manager?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bakshi:
That's what I'm thinking. It seems this download manager is the root of this mess. I'm going to look into it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:
Don't know much beyond what I said. Just quoting what others have observed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] wilburblin:
I believe I was one of the first noting this being the issue (but if not, it's not the point...). This was before I looked into how download managers worked and I thought we could just get another download manager from another device and replace it, or tweak some code, and make it work. Unfortunately I realized that download managers are very device specific with multiple dependencies. Getting another one to work will be as hard as coding one from the ground up. I don't think it'll be possible in the near future to go this route and make things work. I'll personally bet on us finding an exploit to unlock bootloader and get custom roms first before we can get another download manager working...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Webern:
This doesn't work for me:

4. Make Gboard your default keyboard by disabling Fire Standard Keyboard - adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone

also it's a little odd that further down the list there's this:

Step 5: Avoid any bootloops by eliminating this potential roadblock with Titanium Backup or ADB:

adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone

Why is it in there twice? Why would removing the kindle keyboard prevent bootloops?

When I try it, the display just flashes crazily until I enable it again!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Zeljko1234:
You can just choose Google keyboard to be default in the tablet setting. Works fine for me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] ugzz:
Only made it to step 3. I hit play store and it just crashed to home screen instantly with a white flash. I verified root is working and can see Titanium backup using root in the logs and such. Where'd i mess up, any guesses?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dorpmuller:
Welp...I've tried everything. Followed instructions to the letter. I open playstore to get into my account and all it does is crash back to the home screen. I'm just on the edge of getting the hammer. 64g 2017 will go cheap if I give up. (likely):mad::mad::mad:

Several factory resets to no avail.

Thanks for any help!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Yep - Google made some changes that require components that are not installed via this 'hack'. Neither Amazon not Google have any motivation to address the issue. Fire tablets are designed to be glorified shopping portals to Amazon's ecosystem, not a generic Android gizmo that can run all things Google. Especially on the older Android core (Lollipop!) which FireOS v5 is based. Great while the party lasted.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Oco:
Thanks for step 6, is there any more Amazon apps to safely uninstall?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Jxcorex29:
I've scanned the OP3T/OP3 Cross Development threads and OP3 threads, but don't see much activity. Is development dead for the OP3T?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ZVNexus:
Far from it.

Look here.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/info-list-oreo-roms-kernels-available-3-t3688139

Thats not even all of the 8.1 ROMs avaliable, there is AOSCP 5.1 (needs to be built again, building later will upload at some point if I am allowed, dunno yet), and Cosmic OS 3.1. Both of those are 8.1 ROMs. Dirty Unicorns is also another one not on that list you can build. Development for the 3 & 3T has never been better IMO. Latest security patches on a lot of these ROMs too. Amazing work from the developers.

If a device such as a Droid Bionic from 2011 is still getting ROMs to date with the latest security patches, and that device doesn't even have an unlocked bootloader, then I think the OP3/T is here to stay for awhile.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
Dead? On the contrary. The "3T development" section may be quiet, but the "3 & 3T Cross Development" section is alive and well. We've had over 25 Oreo ROMs get released in less than 2 months of the Oreo AOSP Sources release.

The most probable long term future looks like we will be covered in ROMs that will last a lifetime.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] jakobWango:
LOL. You probably havn't read on the right places. It's a handful of different roms for you to choose from..

[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Hi,

Sharing these tools which were kindly shared on the Joying Forums (STT / STT-TEC) firmware for upgrading/recovering PX5 SOMs using the SDCARD create tool. On review, the zip contains additional tools to customise, create, unpack, repack firmware.

These tools may be of a breakthrough to both recovery and customising PX5 Firmware - the SDCARD create tool may be able to recover corrupt/bootlooping PX5 units without hardware mods, as the PX3 version results in a black screen when trying.

Note: change [config.ini] to Selected=2 to force english.

[Language]

Kinds=2

Selected=2

LangPath=Language\

Note Joying PX5s are STT and not HCT, the SOMs may be similar but the MCU code/comms may be different. e.g. Joying doesnt use MTC style apps, but this may be similar - unknown. Also note that the Joying MCU is different in terms of the filename/structure, but probably the very same hardware. If someone has one of these Joying PX5 units, would appreciate any info such as PX5 SOM module PICs, MCU pics/type, mainboard Pics. I havent attempted to flash a Joying MCU and Px5 update over my HCT as probably nothing to gain.

Download HERE

Note - Make your own OTG cable from a USB cable and two resistors!.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SkyBeam2048:
This indeed looks very promising. In fact if I understand properly it's able to create the directory structure on an SD card to recover even from completely busted ROM content.

It basically turns an update.img into sdupdate.img which can be flashed from an sdcard. I currently can only assume that the PX5 SoM respectively Rockchip boot process checks if certain files exist on any attached file system and if they do it will start recovery. Just like almost any mobile phone or ARM based hardware like routers, access points or similar I ever recovered.

Given this it will be a matter of time to figure out how to recovery-flash Android 8 on PX5 SoM. I started to have a look at what is available but the Android 8 ROM found in some file shares seems to be an OTA image and not a recovery image. Using those tools and tools like the included AFPTool (or 3rd party imgRePackerRK) it might be possible to build a recovery image. Although I am not sure if the OTA image even contains all required files. Probably not. The system image perhaps only contains updated files and might be incomplete.

Also the fact that this Android 8 image is an OTA image yields the question who is providing OTA images for PX5 units. At least I am not aware about any manufacturer distributing OTA updates.

The tools you provided also includes an interesting utility: RKOsConfig.exe

Unfortunately it's all in Chinese only but some items are obvious. It looks like a tool to pre-configure the Android ROM for specific device. Allowing to set DPI, system language, time zone, video decoder, USB and UART type and specifically also the screen type where there are 2 presets in lcdlist.ini for 1024x600 and 800x480 screens.

The toolset also contains a command-line tool (RKImageMaker.exe) and a sample batch script (mkupate.bat) which shows how update.img can be converted to sdupdate.img as well as how the update.img is packed.

Unfortunately the Android 8 OTA image seems not to include some of them like kernel.img, misc.img, recovery.img and resource.img. Likely since the OTA update does not ship them. Moreover system.img might be covered by system.new.dat but this might contain only the files which are updated via OTA and might not include some of the files.

So it needs a bit of further analysis and perhaps we also need to wait for the first update image for Android 8 units (not OTA) to appear. I have also extracted an older Android 6 update.img which contains all the required files, so I guess the Android 8 OTA update is likely insufficient but future full-image updates will provide all the data to create recovery sdupdate.img to be flashed on Android 6 units.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
Hotaudio/Dasaita has a OTA update function since a few months. The update file is also from HA. I think that it is only a matter of time that a .img file from another reseller or even hotaudio will be published and then it should be possible to update :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SkyBeam2048:
Oh, I didn't know. Are they shipping OS updates on a regular base now or announced to do? Perhaps even including Android security updates? (haha, this might be just a dream)

If they do that would be a real step ahead and a good reason to buy Dasaita/HA units in the future. Although the OTA updates are likely also shipped to 3rd party units if they run HA ROM. I wonder how HA deals with this as OTA updates will be tested on HA units only and if they break some 3rd party units via OTA update they might get support inquiries from customers which don't even have a HA unit.

But generally I regard this as a huge step ahead.

This forum is quite active. Does anyone have any contacts to HCT?

I guess they might not want to talk to modders and developers directly...

I really like Dasaita/HA is present here and publishing regular updates. I just bought a car-specific unit with Anroid before actually knowing about MTCD or PX3/PX5 at all. Now after being in this discussions for a while my favorite seller would be Dasaita/HA. Unfortunately they don't have a car-specific model for me but for future purchases it will be my first address to check.

[MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5101246]mum1989[/MENTION] has an Oreo unit, he has offered to try and dump the ROM

Try their website :

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
I have installed the HA ROM on my GS and tried once in November to update via OTA knowing that hotaudio has released here in the forum a newer ROM than the one I had installed on my unit but it didn't work. Don't know if it was because I have a GS or if they didn't release the update via OTA.

Don't expect security patches. They don't care about them :laugh:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SkyBeam2048:
OK. My question was rather towards the community if someone ever tried.

Their website leaves little hope that they are even open to a collaboration. The english page is very incomplete and only chinese page seems to ahve some Sofia and PX3 boards listed. As far as I can see they are manufacturing some standard SoM they market to resellers as we know. Not sure though about the design of MTCx main boards. As many sellers seem to have very similar designs this makes me believe they are perhaps also designed by HCT or at least there is some reference design available to all unit manufacturers. Moreover some apps on our units are developed by HCT directly. Apps which interface with the MCU. So I believe HCT either provides the design or is manufacturing the complete unit, not only the SoM.

Anyway we might actually need a translator or someone in china to get in direct contact with HCT and it's unlikely for such companies to collaborate with the community. Nevertheless I have sent them a mail asking about community involvement. Maybe I go the wrong direction here and chances to succeed are near-zero, but hey; you don't know if you don't try.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I wonder if the OTA does an MCU check as the Lollipop update on KLD MTCB/C units did ? You could try flashing an HA MCU and seeing if it updates via OTA after. If it does then it could be quite easy for a dev to work around it as [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] did to allow Lollipop on any MTCB/C unit.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
I'm not playing anymore with MCU's since I've done exactly that what you've suggested me. The HA MCU converted my unit into a HA with many problems. When I tried to go back to GS I had the version unmatch error. Fortunately the seller exchanged my unit.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Yes, the site is rubbish.

The motherboards are designed and made by each manufacturer to, as youve said, a set of standards that meet certain criteria so that ROMs and (most) MCUs are interchangeable, although each motherboard may be a different design.

Almost all sellers (HA is the only one who sells and manufacturers as far as I can remember) are entirely separate from the manufacturers and have nothing to do with the design or manufacturing.

It used to be though that "MTC" was behind the development of the SoM software, then it was thought htta HCT was behind it, in the light od [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]'s first post I m not sure this is correct now.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gtxaspec:
Joying px5 units are not syu/fyt, FYI.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
If not, do you know what they are?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gtxaspec:
Uncertain, would need access to a live unit.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
There are no "joying" units - Joying are a seller, I take it you mean Shenzhen Joyous RK3368/PX5 units ?

Although I was under the impression that Joyous no longer made MTC units and had switched to making the "009" MCU (ie non MTC) Intel units.

I gather that [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] has seen ".syu" and "fyt" on he motherboard or SoM and thats why he suggested that in his first post.

So without access to a unit what makes you say that ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gtxaspec:
Look at the kernel and file system. Fyt units are very specific. Joyous is a different reseller than joying also. Dunno what 009 unit is. FYT makes their own custom SoM with various cpu's.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Joyous is NOT a seller, Joyous is the manufacturer of all "JY" units, its Joying that is a seller.

An 009 MCU unit is a non MTC Intel unit.

I dont think the kernel or software are relevant, we re talking about MTCD/E hardware not software.

I ve not seen any MTCB/C/D/E SoMs without "HCT" on them - HCT makes all MTC SoMs, at least thats what has been established over the last 3 years, but please if youve got any photographic evidence to the contrary post it here to prove otherwise.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gtxaspec:
It is relevant, because from a live system, you can tell what SoM the unit is using

Also, Shenzhen Joyous (which was a manufacturer/seller) does not currently make any PX3 or PX5, let alone any Intel units. This may have been true in the past, no longer.

Also, HCT does make a variety of SoM's, but they certainly don't make all of them.

Perhaps you might be able to ask your contacts for an HCT Oreo Android ROM (.img)

I think the community has provided numerous suggestions and fixes which would make these units truly great. These efforts todate have gone unanswered, with no reseller willing to 'get it done.' Lots of empty promises with zero result, however.

So, if you can get a result, great! I remain sceptical...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I am fully aware that Shenzhen Joyous do not make MTC units anymore, I never said they did, you misunderstood my post - I was correcting you - you said "Joying px5 units", I was explaining that there is no such thing, because Joying are a seller, they simply stick their badge on units made by someone else's products. Joyous = manufacturer, Joying = seller.

You can tell that the RK3368/PX5 units sold by Joying are not MTCD/E just by looking a the interface, no need for any kernel checking.

You also misunderstood what I said about SoMs, - I said that HCT make "all MTC SoMs" I did not say that HCT "made all SoMs [for all headunits]".
