[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty1993:
Hey mate,

Sorry for late reply ive been full on with the CR droid build,

I ended up finding 2 bugs on my build the bloody calls werent working haha lucky i checked couldnt hear anything on normal but as soon as it was put on loudspeaker all was good spent hours doing that, also noticed another bug on my build but has got to do with my kernel or boot.img still not figured it out completely but every time the i turn the phone off it turns straight back on to recovery,

Take battery out start phone normally straight to recovery, reboot to system from recovery boots back to recovery, plug phone in to charge boots staright to recovery i couldnt for the life of me figure it out, i accidentally flashed your boot.img though and the reboots were gone i was like ???????? From what i can gather its kernel or kernel & a file in initrd my kernel is 23kb bigger than yours when i compared sizes but now having fixed the reboots with your kernel etc i now have no imei again and is showing the device as dual sim whereas my boot.img only shows it as a single sim, im currently about to dig through uevent.d & init.environ.rc to see if theres any differential between the two ill get there eventually lol,

Ended up sticking init.volte.rc & init.mal.rc into the boot.img for volte support aswell as adding libs etc for volte and vilte, hope it works lol trying to get nfc functional also as these have NFC chip,

Anyhow yeah thats why i upgraded my twrp i thought maybe it needed a newer source to flash it properly but mine wont go past the alcatel logo no matter what i do, i think you might be right the kernel may require rebuilding to support booting on the device hopefully not though and its just a running lib issue somewhere i really want Lineage 16.0 on it got it on a G930F of mine is great,

With checking kernel version also im not to sure on how to decompile the kernel to check all i know is kernel needs to be in .elf format to be decompiled as far as i know but i could be very wrong in saying that,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty1993:
Hey mate,

Yeah that reboot was an absolute killer to get fixed, mine no longer is rebooting at all,

Also managed to mod gemini for single sim that was level 12/10 to get that working and functional on it but had to as i kept losing my imei after first reboot now thats fixed my selfie camera no longer works either so now have to figure that out aswell im not sure how gemini affects camera but it must do in some way as i was checking the quality of pictures out with both rear and front camera and both were working fine so yeah im stumped on that one,

If you can't figure out your reboots out im happy to upload my boot.img ive made from 3 diff MTK6737M thats stopping the reboots its using my kernel though which is 23kb bigger so im not sure if it will affect anythin on 5044Y,

Yeah i figured that with the boot.img thing as i was trying to port a ressurection remix rom to it, wouldnt go past logo with the boot.img it came with but when i flashed my modded boot.img it would try to play the bootanimation but freeze there & not boot thats another one my list of things to do haha,

Ill check the link out see if i can get it to work and see if its any good and tell me bout it those 4pda guys are next level engineers ive been a frequent visitor on there for years now :) shame google cant update there translate or make it work properly as you can only make out half a sentence and then it turns to some random $h1T lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty1993:
I think im not far off being done on 5044T Cr_droid now everyone whos waiting for it on optus x spirit i just need to fix the camera ive been at it again today so little update on what ive done over last few days,

FIXED :

*Rebooting to recovery on power down and charge

* Null imei

* Null imei after reboot

* Sim taking up to 10 minutes to register as inserted on boot

* Data connection dropping out

* Only loudspeaker working during calls

* Extra null imei (converted to single sim software)

* Bootanimation - changed to Google Pixel 480P as even 720p does not display properly.

*Fixed SD480P slow video recordings

REMAINING OR NEW BUGS :

*Front camera not working due to ril changes i believe as was working on a previous build before hand.

*VOLTE & VILTE not displaying as working though there is distinct better quality within calls but as not displaying VOLTE i consider it a bug,

* NFC not working, need to update or modify the application from original 6.0 firmware as nfc keeps stopping and possibly find missing /bin /lib /etc files that havent already been intergrated

*Video 720P still slow but with improvements again as its not clearmotion its a bug to me.

Hopefully will have updates soon on the camera currently logcattin the error to see whats going wrong where.

Another note Have also gotten A ressurection remix rom functional and booting is also 7.1.2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty1993:
Hey man,

Data ran out on phone lol,

Glad it sorted, i did that myself a few times aswell haha, still haven't figured out the front camera again i cant even build my stock boot.img the way i had it when the front camera was working on the build i deleted i really wish i kept it now ive tried every configuration i could think of to replicate it, but just cant figure it,

Still couldnt get the lineage foe e3 functional for some reason even with changing the kernel, fstab & init.rc from stock with adding the mods to run the CM.rc in init.rc, still stuck on infinite lineage bootanimation never boots,

Havent looked at 16.0 again yet been doing my MT6572 nand, completely reworked the boot.img on it now just trying to make sdk23 work on it properly boots up recognises 6.0 + apps and installs them perfectly fine but everytime i go to open them they are coming up and i can see them for a split second but then just force close, i think im missing something to do with the app processes somewhere in /bin or /lib nearly got it though, i didnt think id even get this far with it tbh as ive read alot of people have tried but failed at it most face force close of systemui and all running apps when changing SDK version from =19 to =23 mine boots perfect and no apps force close or anything, the cm framework i added also is working as when its set to 19 there is no lineageOS app in settings>apps>show system apps, but when i set it to 23 and look at settings>apps>show system apps there now a lineageOS application which is working without issue and states that its running 512kb off of the system, thats why i rebuilt my boot.img i found a lineage 13.0 sdk23 boot.img and rom with exact same kernel version of 3.4.67 but ext4 with the init.cm.rc and all fiels so i added that and copied all the cm contexts from all the files in initrd to my stock files, added charger res and the slink for it to healthd and now i got the cm charging screen like crdroid does when i plug it in to charge, got bored with it though, im back onto the x spirit today, i think im somewhat behind on my planned schedule so hoping to make up good time today as ive noticed my root access function ks now greyed out in developer settings somehow so have to figure that out now

How's your build going ?

Government phone

I have an Optus X Smart aka Alcatel pop4 aka TCL/5056 pop455c

This phone was given to me by the Police (in Australia) it's a cheap phone to buy, but the custom "Optus" software can't be cheap to make. I guess the government cyber security money has to be spent somewhere. I've searched hi and lo to install a custom recovery and root for a CM install but no dice.

I guess it's like smoke detectors in all rentals need the battery replaced every 12months even when they run on mains.

Having listening devices in the hands of the poor ensures it's easy to keep them that way.

If you do find a solution, i'd be keen to know. For now I've simply removed the google account and use it as an mp3 player, which i'm currently seeking to update with a location spoof apk. Which, without root is a gamble...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty1993:
Hey bud im in aus ive built twrp and CRdroid android 7.1.2 for the 5044T optus X spirit model, and many other roms for other devices

CR droid is CM based from lineageOS 14.1 Guava(7)

Id be more than happy to help you out in getting you android 7.1.2 on your alcatel with TWRP recovery will be another model to add to the build list for me, the android 6.0 they come stock with is just ridiculous to say the least CRDroid is fast relaiable and most of all stable compared to other aosp based roms,

what ill need from you in order to be able to do this is as follows,

Ill need you to upload me a copy of your

- boot.img

- recovery.img

- system.img

Here in a post, You can obtain these from doing a readback with SP flash tool which can be download from here https://spflashtool.com

If your not sure how to do a readback with sp flash tool you can simply google how to do it its quite easy.

make sure you also download and install the VCOM flash drivers from the sp flash tool website and install those also again if your not sure how to do it you can google or even youtube a guide on how to do it.

A readback is essentually a full firmware backup of your device which come in either .img formats or .file formats and should also have in the readback folder whats called a scatter.txt this contains the flashing information for sp flash tool to flash your partitions correctly,

Your device also uses prebuilt encryption which means the boot.img will need patching also to allow an AOSP rom to function on your devices kernel

You also dont need an apk to mock the location this can also be done in the boot.img

Magisk root is safe to use on 7.1.2 and offers magisk root hide from google play apps and some systems apps to make it think your device is not rooted
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thisisnotathrowaway:
That sounds awesome. You are right, the device is without root. I'm unable to access fastboot which means I can't flash a custom recovery to install a TWRP and Magisk.

The library computers won't allow me to install/run sp flash tool and my home computer is a Mac (without internet access).

I've done some brief searching to find another way to get those .img's but without root and fastboot, i'm not liking my chances.

I did however find http://flashfileboss.blogspot.com/2018/11/alcatel-5056i-flash-file-601-firmware.html where the model number, baseband version, kernel version and build number are all an exact match. Will that work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thisisnotathrowaway:
Optus X Smart / alcatel pop4 / tcl/5056/pop455c

I can't see how to upload the firmware here so I've added the two links from herehttp://flashfileboss.blogspot.com/2018/11/alcatel-5056i-flash-file-601-firmware.html where it can be downloaded. Part 1https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1YjzQwheqV2rKiwu-an1yTD2tYzJWGaGw&export=download 2.1G and Part 2https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1p6uFFzKhD-pNS06vUc_Bu3O0-5XHfquv&export=download 835M

Using library computers with an offline only mac at home, it's the best I can manage. From what I understand, you would be creating an update I can install using adb sideload which I am able to do on my home computer. I'll then be able to access fastboot of 7.12 where I can flash TWRP and install magisk and run CRDroid

Please let me know if there is anything I need to be doing differently... I thoroughly appreciate your offer and understand your time is valuable.

Can someone please help me with my issue with Nox. I have searched around and can't find any helpful information regarding it. My current app of choice is Endless Frontier, i log in, and after 5 seconds or 5-10 minutes, it will force close the app and give me this message "Unfortunately, Endless Frontier has stopped." Attached is an image (i tried to post one but it won't let me because i'm new, the IMG URL code is brLBFdQ if anyone wants to have a look.)

I have tried reinstalling, restarting, cleaning cache and data, used old versions of Nox, used latest, tried in OpenGL and Direct X, tried on Medium and High settings, tried rooted, tried unrooted, tried as tablet, tried as phone, i cannot for the life of me figure this out. Weeks ago this was fine, i could run my app for 10 hours straight no problems.

Any idea's as to what is causing this?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ElGuapo315:
I looked at all of the forum posts and don't see anything specific to this...

My teenage son wants to get the Note 5 Pro through the Xaomi Aliexpress store. It would be used in the US on AT&T. Ali's buyer notes states things like "China ROM doesn't come with Google Play Store" and "Box will be opened and ROM will be installed that won't support OTA updates". Is owning this phone going to be more manual patching and maintenance than it's worth? He's a smart kid and loves messing around to get things to work, but I want a phone to just work for him and no risk of having a brick.

Just looking for what it will take to have a stable phone that he will enjoy if he has me order it for him.

Thanks!

There are 2 variants one is Indian variant rn5pro and another rn5 China with minor difference.

The chances of bricking is super low. Below 1%

Just install gapps or flash EU rom from Xiaomi.eu when it releases. Its super easy to update/flash diff ROM.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] daddyodevil:
Some roms support ota and some don't. Also devs recommend clean flash for updating. But the thing is that should change with Android 8+ since treble is here which allows for better OTA updates without firmware dependencies being altered. The RN5P (Indian variant) most probably supports treble and thus the devs will be more than happy to incorporate it for more stable and easy updates, specially through OTA. Hope this helps.

why not wait for the chinesse version to be released global then youll get updates besides the chinesse variant has better camera in back and in front changed to a 13mp.
