[General Omni Discussion] iamfoolish:
I need to get a new phone, but I don't have a lot of money, so I'm looking for something cheep (under $150) but that should support last a while (so should have a decent developer community around it).

So I'm thinking of either getting a athene or something from xiaomi, or waiting a bit until most phones come out with android > 8 and then get something cheep with Treble.

Now it's true that there are no guarantees when it comes to ROMs. A maintainer could get bored and move on, leaving an immensely popular device dry while a small niche device can have a dedicated maintainer for years. But my question is that since I'm not really a ROM dev (I know Java, C, and general Linux but don't know the inner bowels of Android) I don't know how difficult will it be to port future Android versions to current phones.

For example, according to the rumor mill, other ROMs are finding it extremely hard to port Oreo to klte or to s4 due to camera HAL issues. So based on the above, what would be the most reasonable way to proceed?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] morgish:
Hi All,

My unit is the 7" double din with the captive touch buttons on the left (Power, Back, Vol up & Vol down).

I was going through the factory settings and played with the touch calibration settings. I was attempting to remap my power button to something else, but all I have managed to do is remove all mapping for these 4 buttons.

When I go in to the section to re-map these, pressing the buttons has no effect.

I saw a couple of videos where after re-calibrating the touch screen (top left then top right) the mapping page for these buttons comes up, this doesn't happen on mine (maybe because Android 8?)

Can someone please let me know what I have to do to get these buttons back to how they were?

Cheers,

Kris

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Jyndon:
So I've been having lots of problems, it all started trying to upgrade to oreo from nougat and I got stuck part way with trying to install recoveries and missing the _ramdisk part. So then I think I was stuck somewhere in-between nougat and oreo and [MENTION=6954776]Jannomag[/MENTION] has been a huge help trying to push the device towards Oreo. You can see the thread where that begun here (https://xdaforums.com/p10/help/p10-adb-hwota-flashing-partition-length-t3766191/page2#post75966617) and Jannomag's guide here (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75760807).

After that as going to oreo wasn't working I looked into maybe trying to roll back to nougat as TWRP 3.2.1 was working. I have followed this guide as best I could (https://xdaforums.com/p10/how-to/guide-to-rollback-huawei-p10-oreo-to-t3735156) and got to the end where you install the update let the phone reboot to huawei recovery to install the update. However the update got to 6% in verifying update and failed. At this point I tried to reflash twrp from fastboot. That seemed to flash fine however when I reboot the phone to recovery (vol-Up + pwr) it boots to the huawei recovery menu with reboot/wipe data/wipe cache options. I have tried flashing both twrp 3.2.1 3.1.1 and 3.0.1 and even reflashing the stock recovery before these from the file linked in the rollback guide that HWOTA8 uses (MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img)

Any ideas for fixes this are appreciated,

Thanks

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] unofornaio:
Hi I've looked and looked over this site and others and did not find a solution. I have had this phone STOCK NO MODS huawei 5x for about 1 year now (April)

kiw-l24

Kiw-l24c567b351

Emui-4.0

6.0.1

I have metro pcs as my carrier. I have had NO issues with Service or the phone till now. The phone was purchased new and unlocked.

My issue Is this. When going to TURN ON mobile hotspot under settings when I try to turn it on it gives me 2 pop up messages

1. Verifying Service authorization please wait

2. Then after the 1st message cycles it reads " There is a temporary network problem that is preventing the mobile hotspot function from being enabled. Please try again later"

I have never had issues with the hot spot and have not made changes to any settings that I am aware of.

I have called metro 4 times but had no luck with them. My plan includes hotspot and I'm not using any 3rd party app to use it. I've read that most phones will verify you have hot spot with your carrier and I assumed the issue may be with my plan. I have never changed it and called metro to verify I do have mobile hotspot. I think that's all the info I have at this time. Please let me know if there is more needed to try and resolve this. I appreciate your help.

I always loved ground zero roms on my shamu. I had a few questions on your flashing instructions. All other custom roms require you to boot system after installing rom and twrp zip before flashing kernel and magisk, if you want root. You suggest instead rebooting to recovery flash kernel and twrp again. Just wanted to make sure I get it right. Thanks for binging ground zero to taimen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xg3nFatality:
So ran into a small issue. Everything flashed fine was able to get to setup but was greeted with the "system may be corrupted, contact your manufacturer". I tap around it and it disappeared so I moved on. Was able to get to the home screen, start installing my apps and decided I wanted to change the background and selected the Validus background image. Once I set it and returned to the home screen I then got a system ui error pop up and then it goes black. Gave it a few seconds and it tells me it is powering off which then leads to rebooting into twrp where I cannot boot into the ROM again. Sadly I'm at work and need to be able to have a working phone so had to restore a backup.

Anyone else come across this issue?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
The system message is normal bc custom roms need verity disabled, that's what's causes that message. I'll look/ask around if there is a commit that disables the notification.

I couldn't recreate your wallpaper issue, I successfully used the validus wallpaper. I'll look into it more if other users report the same issue

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xg3nFatality:
No big deal about the message, I've seen it pop up with other ROMs. It's definitely strange that the system ui crashes on me. When I get home I'll try dueces script to reflash factory image and retry validus ROM again
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
I have not had any UI crashes. With respect to the corrupt message, the build is based on OPM5.17019.017. The March version is .021 and the February version was .018. I think this is what is causing the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
OPM5.171019.017 is the build ID for March 2018 nexus 6p update. it's just a cosmetic issue, i can change it in the next build.

the corrupt message is because verity is disabled. itll happen on stock ROM if you disable verity by patching DTBO via magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
You don't need to change it; I just thought that might have been the reason for corrupt message. Great job with validus; loved it on my shamu. When I first booted up I got a modem FC as well a phone provisioning FC. However, I haven't seen these messages since that time. Rom is working great. Thanks for all of your work.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoga:
Some countries like mine, Mexico, Just received Amazon Prime Video service a couple months back and with it they started selling what they called Fire TV basic, which is no other than a rebranded Fire stick V1, as far as i know. The problem is that it seems their Prime video on those countries, Mexico in my case but i believe is the same in any other country as far as i have read in the forums, doesnt work with any other Fire TV device but the basic they sell. I have a fire TV stick V1 and one V2 and I configure them on my Mexican Amazon Prime Video but every time I tried to start a video I get an error that this video is not configured to run in my country. I can see and play the video using their android app and a laptop.

I contacted my country amazon services and they told me that only the basic edition will run their service and that no other fire TV service will be able to do this. So they tell me to buy it instead than helping me with the devices I already have. The device they sell cost around 70 dlls even when is a simple Fire Stick that includes the old remote, not even the one with voice. I really find this weird they should care what device I use to see a service I am paying from but I guess they only cares about to make money.

I dont know if there will be any way to bypass whatever they are doing?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredtoy:
I had the same problem here in Brazil. My brother-in-law, who lives in the US, gifted me his old Fire Stick v1 when he came to visit us last month. As an Amazon Prime Video subscriber a I logged with my brazilian Amazon account. The device was added to my account without any problems. But when I turn it on, it still shows the US Prime Video on the main menu and I can't watch any movies or shows, even the ones that are available in Brazil.

Contacted the customer service and the guy (who was very nice and attentive) told me that the firmware on the brazilian Fire Stick (that is sold here too as Basic Edition ) is slightly different from the US device and this is why I can't use brazilian Prime Video with a US Fire Stick.

I find it amusing that Amazon makes it so hard to watch Prime Video, going to an opposite way they do with the Kindle device and service. Is easier to watch Netflix on the Amazon device, as I still can install apps and do everything else, than to watch Amazon's own service.

Because of this ability to install apps, I found a workaround using the native browser to access the Prime video web app. It's not the ideal solution and it's still annoying to see US content and ads on the main screen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Iv no idea if this will work but you can try using a vpn but only the firestick v2 supports vpn apps - they will not work on the v1
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoga:
Thanks but it is not a problem a VPN can fix. We want to actually access our local Amazon Prime library so no need for the VPN. I can access the USA library with my USA prime account, which I pay as well, for this the VPN works perfectly. Some how Amazon is blocking any other fire tv version but the basic they sell locally at an exorbitant price. You can access the local library using a browser, an android device, xbox or psp, but not an American fire tv, thats crazy.

Hi.

I guess i got the same rom as you on my LEX722, and there isn't any OTA checker. I recommend you to flash a custom rom if you want, or, flash modded Genesys 26S which has modded kernel so it won't lock up your bootloader.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Elite (Model x722) Guides, Developme] kryzeK:

For me, aicp.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Elite (Model x722) Guides, Developme] tylerciggy:
Ok, let me quickly explain.

You are on a vendor rom, but any "20s" is a good rom (EUI 5.8.020S even if the build is different)

Although there is another "official" rom, YOU SHOULD

NOT

INSTALL IT, because then you won't be able to unlock bootloader and if you do that, you simply cannot modify your phone any more.

I highly recommend that you make a nandroid backup or a twrp backup (and if you can, provide it to me, because I need it).

LeEco is not making anymore phones, so you won't have any more official updates, so you won't have any nougat neither oreo unless you flash a custom rom. The only rom provided here is a developer rom that has a "vendor patch", but it's not exactly an original stock/vendor rom.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Accessories] gorman42:
While waiting for the keyboard cover (I got it "free" for buying the tablet at launch) I ordered this and received it today.

A little on the heavy side (I think around 250gr), protects the tablet and screen. Sturdy fold system for having the tablet stand up horizontally (for movie watching, I guess), no way that I can understand to have the tablet slightly raised for typing on touchscreen when not using the "real" keyboard. Screen cover turns on the device but with fingerprint id unlocking is kind of useless quite frankly. There's a magnet to ensure the cover stays closed.

Look is understated, with a "bas relief" Huawei logo in the bottom right corner. You can see pictures here:

How slim would you say this is? I currently have an aging Sony Z3 Compact tablet and have ordered the M5 as replacement.

When I first purchased the Z3C tablet I found all the 3rd party covers to be a bit on the bulky side. But when I finally got hold of the original Sony SCR28 cover - it was considerably slimmer than the 3rd party ones.

So, I am wondering if I should just get a cheap 3rd party cover from Amazon or hold out for the official Huawei one....
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Accessories] gulluwing:
Flip cover

What do you think about this flip cover? http://s.aliexpress.com/UJ3YbIzE?fromSns

I think it's well done because it leaves the pogo pins uncovered so if you have to connect the tablet to the keyboard you do not have to detach it from the flip cover
