[Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers] someaguy:
I agree! This phone is so easy to root! You would think this phone would be a popular candidate for 3rd party roms because of how cheap and easy it is to root! ZenUI is garbage. I so long for a clean version of Android for this phone. The two line clock on the lock screen drives me up the wall! What pisses me off most is how there is no option to change that. I tried using 3rd party lock screens, but the finger print reader always forces the ZenUI lock screen over them. its so hugely annoying! Make some roms for this phone!
[Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers] Kah_S:
Yes...

We need developers...
[Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers] MikeMurphy:
I don't think there will be much support for this phone. It's not much different from the Zenfone 3, is far more expensive and is quickly being replaced with the Zenfone 5 launching next week.

The good news is that Asus is very good with software updates so you're hardly in a bad spot.
[Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers] someaguy:
6 months to release Oreo I hardly call "Very good" when it comes to updates. This is coming from someone who lived with Nexus devices since the Nexus One that got immediate updates and rejected the Pixel devices do to cost and the apparent removal of the Headphone jack on the Pixel 2. I bought this device hedging on the community support of the Zenfone 2 and 3. ZenUi is ugly and the sooner I find a way running pure Android on it the better!

I will say this though, I have looked in making my own LineageOS ROM from source. All I have done was to download the LineageOS source code as there is not much info on how to make a ROM for an unsupported device. All I understand is that I somehow need to download the ZE554KL Kernel from the Asus support website and somehow add that with the LineageOS source code before compiling it into a ROM for it to work. But no one on the XDA Discord tells me how to do that.

It kind of pisses me off how all phone manufactures have more than enough resources to release pure Android for their devices as a secondary option to their mainstream ROMs. After all, pure Android is what they get when Google releases a new version before they start adding their junk, crapware and ****ty UI's over it. It's too bad Google does not make it part of their device approval process to allow Google apps on the device that also mandates the manufacture must also release a pure version of Android for that device as a secondary option for a user to install on their device.

Can somebody make any custom ROM, this phone stuck on Oreo. At least some AOSP android 10.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharp3r:
Hi

I've experiencing a headphone problem. It's always on (icon in notification bar) whether the my HP is on or not. I reflashed the ROM with no success... Finally I replaced the jack port but the problem persisted. I switched to another ROM (Resurrection Remix Oreo) but nothing. Finally I used an app called Headset Toggle. It did the job. But the problem the effect is not for long time and switching to my HP and vice versa has to be through the app.

Any suggestions about this please? Could it be a kernel issue?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi everyone,

So I'm moving to the US for a couple months this summer, and realized that I will need to buy a data plan (I've been to the US before, and my home plan abroad was pretty expensive, and not very reliable). I'm not really familiar with how bands work, and I want to make sure that whichever carrier I choose, will have the bands compatible with my phone. I have the global (Snapdragon 625) version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.

I checked Verizon's website, and there, it says that my phone is not compatible with Verizon (it didn't say that it's because it's using the wrong bands, but I don't really know what else can be the problem). So my question is: which carriers can be good for my phone?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
somewhere on the forum... i saw this picture of a tilt back cover, and the speaker was a circle, not a square, and the camera cover looked really nice, it had a metal cover to prevent scratches.

where can i find this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] firstbuddha:
you sure you weren't seeing the back of the Touch Polaris/Orbit 2?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] helpme:
we can made a camera friendly back cover ourselves

Hi All,

I am wonder if anyone would like to join my project of making a camera friendly back cover for our Kaiser.

I am a product designer in Hong Kong and also a Kaiser user. I know a local factory that produce aftermarket cases for PDAs, to make a back cover is not a hard job at all. All I would like to know is how many Kaiser would like to have this new back cover.

Elton
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aksd:
I'd be interested but depends on the quality of the cover of course. Also maybe we could use some really good glass on the rear cover over the camera, such as polarized glass with anti UV and flare coating, any optician should be able to make it, but might work out a little expensive for the glass alone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] helpme:
you need a photography quality glass for good quality photo. Plus in order to fit in to the original back cover, the glass needed to be really thin, that's another challenge. That's why some people in the forum prefer to take the plastic out.

regarding to the quality, the factory is a very experienced one, a simple back cover is too easy for them. All I worry is the cost and how we can spread them out evenly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] p51d007:
How hard would a "flip" cover be? My previous phone, Sony W810i had no protection for the lens, other than the clear plastic area for the lens. The

K750i had a "flip" cover, which fit the 810i like a glove.

How reasonable would it be, instead of a glass lens, to just produce a cover with a simple flip open or slide cover for the lens? Even with a glass area for the lens, you will still get stains, fingerprints etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I'd vote for a rear cover with a slide-open cover over the camera. This would allow the camera to be protected from dust and when open, don't use any additional glass, the pictures would be much sharper!

It would have to be a good design that could withstand repeated open-close cycles.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mack5305:
I agree. The lens glass needs some sort of protection.

Nokia's N-95 puts the lens at the hinge where no one puts their finger. The HTC Kaiser/Tilt is in a very bad spot for fingers and setting it down into junk or against a sweaty (i.e. wet) shirt pocket.

Also, you might need some bumps on the back to raise the phone a bit since they managed to put the speaker on the back which is about as effective as ....

The back cover gets a bit hot at times too. Don't know what can be done about that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
im sure. i know i saw it, but i dont know if it was edited, but it looked pretty real to me.

it looked almost identical to the kaiser's back, except instead of a square speaker, it was circle, and the camera had something better to protect it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aksd:
I meant a cover with a glass lens. Its always nice to have 2x times the protection :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] helpme:
please let us know where you saw that cover. It would be nice if we can just pay for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flashy:
Have you thought of using the invisible shield? this is cut with perfection, prevents scratches and marks on the device, and has a very accurate cut-out around the GPS and Camera recess.

www.shieldzone.com
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] helpme:
I am not sure about putting another piece of plastic in front of the camera would be a good idea to improve the quality of the photo.

Anyway, I have contacted the factory about this project, they will let me know the cost in about two days. In the mean time, feel free to throw in new design idea.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepeto2001:
this back cover should be great!!, i dont mind even the need os using my fingernails for sliding the protector, the fact is that camera lens will be protected in my pocket!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meeek:
You can count me in for the sliding back cover for the camera, that would be perfect! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flashy:
when did i say cover the camera? i said it's been cut around it.

I doubt you will find better to be honest. Without looking silly. It looks like new all the tiem with my shield on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] helpme:
no, I don't think finger nail is a good idea. If space is allowed, I hope to make a sliding door that can be opened by finger instead of finger nail.

Anyway, let's wait for the quote from the factory first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] persiansown:
Im interested too!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] helpme:
quotation received, but....

The factory replied with a quote but they made a mistake. The quote is for 1000 pieces of battery cover. I don't think we have that many people who would be interested in it, so I ask for a smaller quantity quote. They will get back to me tomorrow.

stay tune!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
NO, NO, NO....

PM me with the 1000 piece price. I'm sure I could distribute these here in the US.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] bflmpsvz:
Hi, I'm making a choice of the right ROM which would I use for Android 8. What I expect is obviously smooth performance, stability, substratum support and good perspective for regular updates. What I want to avoid is all Pixel-clones as they have own Gapps and I want it to have independent Gapps.

Being satisfied with RR on Nougat, I'm cionsidering to continue with RR. Because RR has now install issues with Gapps, Im giving a try to crDroid which is only beta but looks to me surprisingly good in all regards. Has cdDroid a known limitations compared to RR or is up to pair, or even better? What I want to avoid is long experimenting with various ROMs nd also often switching from one to another. Thanks for all clues.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] sph*ere:
Hello, not sure this is the right section for this query; apologies if not.

I'll try to be as succinct as possible, and please bear in mind that I'm a total novice when it comes to pretty much everything technical.

I have an old S5830, unused for a number of years. I thought I might be able to install maps.me and/or osmand and use it as a satnav while cycling. Both these apps run offline and don't need a data connection.

I temporarily installed my current SIM to download maps.me, but insufficient internal storage. I tried rooting and using link2sd to move some of the bloatware, but couldn't get it to work.

As I had little to lose I then reset to factory, but that reverted to Google Market which wouldn't update to Play Store, so unable to download anything.

Next, following online instructions and assuming it would be more up to date, I installed a custom ROM ( TheUltimatum(V4.9)[-The’A’Factor].) and gapps-gb-20131214-signed to access Google Apps. That seemed to go alright, but again I'm stuck with Google Market and again it won't update to Play Store. I've tried using apk.s of the apps but they won't parse(?) so that hasn't worked. The impression I get is that the S5830 hardware is too old to run them; would that be right?

My ideal outcome would be to have it with the absolute minimal OS and no apps whatsoever save the maps. Failing that, can anyone advise me on what to do next, or is it a waste of time?

Thank you.

Hello,

I did everything normal i booted the phone and filled in everything.

Logged in to google and it asked if i want to backup this account and i said yes. but it never asked to restore from a previous phone.

After this i updated the phone to the latest stock rom still nothing. i then did a factory reset and still did not ask me to restore

I also can't use titanium backup because my bootloader can't be unlocked for another 70 hours and therefore i can't flash twrp and magisk

I was thinking about kingoroot maybe but it's not systemless and might give me problems in the future :/

Does anyone have some advice?

Hi, I want to install custom rom on my tablet but I can't flash or enter into any custom recovery I know.

Tablet specs:

It's a chinese BDF tablet 10''

Brand: JTY

Board: KT107_L1_20160428

Procesor: MT6580

Kernel: 3.10.72+

Android: 6.0 Marshmallow

I tried to do it using many tutorials and many ways founded on many forums, including this, without success.

During these attempts I unlocked root and bootloader, installed on my pc ADB drivers, Google USB drivers, MTK vcom drivers, PdaNet, on my device PdaNet, BusyBox, TWRP manager and ROM manager.

First I tried to install TWRP recovery using the newest recovery from their website and 3 others recoverys which I found on the internet and should be dedicated for my tablet. I installed each one of them using ADB in Command window, SP flash tool and Easy magic TWRP installer, which is dedicated for any MediaTek device, both ways: manual and automatic. Every attemp was successful but every time when I checked in TWRP manager, it said what I don't have any custom recovery installed on the device, when I tried to enter into it through the boot menu it wasn't entering into TWRP, only the chinese stock recovery.

Then I tried with Easy magic PhilZ 6 installer, but the effect was the same.

At the end I tried to install CWM using MTK Droid Tools, but this program doesn't see my device and I couldn't fix this.

Could any of you help me somehow, explain or give me a right recovery file so that it works. I really want to change my Android to a LineageOS and I'm tired of my fails. I'm working on this 5 days, accidently bricked it, stucked on bootloop and stucked on logo screen so many times that I can't even count, I'm desperate for help.

Let me know if you find a fix, and i will do the same if i succeed installing a different bootloader
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] DTTR:
hello,

i searched (using the search function AND scrolling trough posts) about NFC issues. i couldn't find a thread so here it is!

i JUST BOUGHT an unlocked / international version of Z2 Play - 4Gb and 64Gb version.

the users manual states: Note: NFC is not available in all areas or on all models.

i tried to use NFC with...

- tags

- another phone

it does not recognize any of them.

the phone is updated to the latest security patches (in europe).

before i send the phone back to the seller (i can do that) i would like to know if it is a well known issue or my phone has a problem.

i tried using tags and other phone connection WITH and WITHOUT the back-cover mounted on the device.

my back-cover has only ONE metallic contact.

so please provide help in order for me to decide if i am going to return the product.

NOTE: i am a LG user and this is my first venture into Moto devices.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] capedukewuhaha:
I got the same Problem Bro. Nothing interacts with my NFC - I read it's on the top of the phone... behind the camera or the flash. But with knowing this nothing changed.

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] DTTR:
Strange location indeed. I need NFC for car integration, I will place a NFC tag on a car charger. But my car charger is not as tall as the device.

So I intend to return it.

I like the Amoled... I like the feel of the phone (even if my 4 years old LG G3 is smoother - on a 7.1 custom ROM)... But unfortunately this one does not meet my day-to-day usage requirements.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] DTTR:
I made my first payment using this device.

It turns out that having the NFC sensor on that spot is perfect for making payments. You don't have to manoeuvre the phone in strange positions according to the position of the place of payment. So... Nice job!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erclalle:
TLDR, what makes it worthwile?

I'm a regular XDA user and I rooted all the phones I ever owned, both to try out new unofficial features, to stay up to date with older hardware and to unlock some vendor limitations. My S8 has a lot of reasons to be rooted, but a friend who owns a Z5C asked me what he would gain by rooting his. A quick browse here left me a little perplex, since I did not find anything life-changing, at least for a non power-user like him. Could you give me some insight as to the reasons why you rooted your Z5C, and what you added to make it better than stock, unrooted?

Thank you very much!

- get the latest OTA, firmwares etc before rooting ?

- the most stable and the lightest ROM (no bloatware) nowadays ?

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Yeah rooting is interesting always, because TWRP and Xposed are a must for every phone in my opinion. The possibility of install apps like AdAway to protect against intrusive advertisings, the chance to recover your device with a nandroid backup and the use of Xposed are essential.

About debloating, I made a guide about bloatware on EMUI safe to remove (link in my signature) and i wrote about how to do it with root, but it's possible to do that even without root through the use of ADB.
