Note:

I personally don't own a Mi5s Plus, but only a Mi5s so I can't directly test builds.

Anyway Xiaomi msm8996 devices share source code, so there shouldn't be many differences between what I face on my device and what is faced on Mi5s Plus.

Appeared in the row of the second SIM although it is not.

Appeared in the second line SIM, although it is not. Need a solution. In the rest of the until good core. I test further.

P.s. If you put the SIM in the first slot, then all is well.

It works better than stock kernel IMO. smoother and better battery life. I've been using it for the past 3 days and it's stable.

someone tested on LOS 15.1?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mustofal:
I have installed this kernel yesterday.

I think by using this kernel, when used, the battery feels more efficient, smooth performance.

but when the phone is in a state of stanby I think the battery endurance is the same as I use stock kernel.

by the way i am using rom aosp ex latest version android 8.1

[Xposed General] XtraWater:
Hello

I'm a little confused about xposed and modules on stock rom for Galaxy S5. May be someone can answer my questions.

I rooted my G900F, Marschmallow 6.0.1 and installed TWRP. Then I installed Xposed Framework V89. On my phone is the stock rom installed. I used Touchwiz UI, but changed to Nova launcher.

Now, I read warnings about bootloops while using Xposed with Samsung devices. I wonder if this affects my device too.

1. Since I use Nova Launcher, is Touchwiz still an possible issue?

2. Is Xposed by itself the 'danger' part or are it the modules? So far I installed one module. Everything works fine.

3. When I open Xposed Installer version 89 there is a warning: There seems to be a known Issue (Samsung Touchwiz Rom) with your Rom. Install Xposed might not work or lead to severe problems.

If my phone is affected, what is the best possible way to avoid potential issue? I red there are unofficial Xposed versions which are modified for samsung stock roms. But I couldn't find any.

Others say, newer version are fine for my phone.
[Xposed General] TENN3R:
Nova launcher it's just a launcher, samsung phones ARE touchwiz, not the launcher itself.

Xposed it's the dangerous part, since it's something that edits your phone. Obliviously, if you install incompatible modules that hurts too, just pay attention to install compatible ones.

With a 5sec. search, you can find this thread.

I don't know if newer versions of official xposed are compatible with touchwiz roms, but in this thread there are the unofficial versions that are 100% compatible with yours, just read and download the correct zip.
[Xposed General] XtraWater:
Thank you. Very helpful.

On the thread you linked is an download link. The latest version is xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip

That's exactly the version I installed first. Later I updated it trough the xposed installer to version 89. Should I rather downgrade to the v87.1 version, or is the new installed 89version a custom build by wanam anyway?

I couldn't figure out which version (modified or not) is right now installed.
[Xposed General] XtraWater:
And the last questions. When I got the correct custom Xposed framework, can modules still screw up my phone?
[Xposed General] TENN3R:
I'm not sure about the update. But the "normal" version should not even let your samsung phone boot up, so if it works it's ok.

Modules are not related to the official or unofficial version, I mean if you install for example gravitybox it explicitly says: "not try on touchwiz roms"

That's what I mean. Usually informations like this are in the description in the xda thread so you should be able to understand which is good for you and which not.
[Xposed General] marcdw:
To add to that, in the Xposed installer, Download section, you can do searches.

Search for touchwiz or samsung to get some results that may let you know if certain modules are for, compatible with, or not for your setup.

The module descriptions in the installer are similar to the OPs of the various module threads. Might make it a little easier initially to get an overview. Then you can go to various module threads if you have questions concerning them.

[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] vzapo:
Hi,

I have a Sony Xperia XA1 with android with android 7.0 and security patch 5 january 2018. Going to Software updates it's says it's up to date but if i go to Sony Support webpage and enter my IMEI it's displaying a message that oreo android 8 is ready for my device. That kind a contradicts what my mobile shows.

My question is how can I get Oreo ? Is there somethign hidden ? Is sony trolling me ?:))

Can somebody please throw some light and help me out? I have read somewhere that HK market phones do not get oreo(dunno why) but i don't know if mine is HK market or not. Phone details below:

Model Sony Xperia XA 1

Customize Version : 1307-5194_R8A

Android : 7.0

Not rooted.

Thanks,

Victor
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] karandpr:
Hey Victor.

Sometimes they take time to roll out. If the IMEI says, you are eligible for Oreo , then you will get oreo soon.

You have customized UK firmware and not HK one.

You can use XperiFirm Tool to check if rollout has become for your device.

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

According to xperifirm ,the latest available ROM is nougat so you will have to be patient.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] sieghartRM:
Hello Victor

If you want Oreo now then you must software repair through Xperia Companion and if you do software repair then do backup your data in internal storage to sd card and use Xperia Companion for the rest of the backup.

I Flashed TWRP Recovery onto my Rooted VS880PP Phone, but when I try to boot into it I get Security Error 1003 error message on my screen, and the phone freezes on that screen. If I remove the battery and restart my phone I can boot normally into my rooted Android Lollipop system, but I have no access to Recovery. Also I do have a computer running Windows 10, and ADB Fastboot Installed.. When I connect my phone to the computer ADB recognises the VS880PP Device. I need help getting my phone to boot into recovery. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] letsnotstart:
hi people, i'm new in the game, plus i switched from an old iphone directly to capricorn, and i really like it. running lineage 15.1 20810326-nightly-capricorn. however i am experiencing a few bugs:

- while it initially worked like a charm, f-droid has been causing my phone to freeze and subsequently restart itself. this happens everytime i tap the f-droid app logo.

- am having video playback issues in whatsapp as well as newpipe. no sound and after the first half or so second, the video switches to a sort of ultra slomo with the individual pictures of the video coming up one after another. no problem on the youtube website.

- where can i turn off the notification light in the top left corner? its getting to my nerves a little bit as there are always system messages popping up telling me that some app is not getting access to my private data. which i like, but it doesnt have to tell me unasked every few minutes.

also the blinking red light on low battery is super annoying. sorry if i'm asking nooby questions here, just, as i said, very new to both android in general and lineage specifically.

- also is there a way to receive whatsapp messages more reliably? sometimes (not always) i don't receive any, only to get them all at once next time i open whatsapp.

please notice i am not complaining! i am absolutely grateful for this entire "platform", and totally appreciate all the work and support by everyone here. cheers!

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Thatgrass:
Hi there!

So today I flashed the new Simply International B206 on my original GEM701L which was running Lineage. I immediately got asked a 'Perso code'/sim unlock code after I unlocked my sim with its password. It is a code for sim lock, while in my country and where I bought the phone there is no sim lock.

I tried restoring my KangVIP backup and my Lineage backup, both without result; the problem persisted. I am thinking about downgrading with this method: https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/help/gem-701l-b211-convert-to-factory-default-t3503799.

I am really puzzled here and haven't seen anything like this in all my years hacking on XDA.

[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] / [MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] , do you experts have any idea what to do in this situation?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This came because you were on Lineage. The B206 is an incremental update based on B205 which ist available as full version.

So I guess something on the system was missing when you swapped from another ROM.

You must do a full wipe when comming from other rom. Then install the stock B202 or B205 which are available as full versions.

Then you can install TWRP and install AJ's B206 international

Spigen has been my go to case maker for the last 5 years and once again I was not dissapointed with the quality. The case is a perfect fit for my Huawei P20 Pro and looks stylish. All buttons and ports are easily accessible (there are cutouts for cameras, speakers, USB C port, IR blaster and microphone). The case doesn't add too much bulk and the buttons are easy to press. There is a lip on the front surrounding the display that should protect it from drops face down.Would definitely recommend. The camera on the back doesn't stick out and the phone lies flat on the table.

For 9.99£ it's a bargain imo. Link to Amazon.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] DaveP2611:
I've decided to live dangerously with this phone, I've ordered a KitBag from Amazon and will have no case or screen protector on it, unless a DECENT full coverage one comes along
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] jaju123:
I got the same thing but unbranded for £3.99 on ebay. literally exactly the same.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] 5nak3:
Would you happen to have a link and some photos of the one you found?
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] front firing speakers:
Thank you for posting this review. I was about to buy one too but was concerned If any of the camera bump stuck out or was nicely tucked in. Spigen rugged armour is the best phone case I've ever had. incredible shock protection yet doesn't scratch funny enough. They clean up great and look new throughout (or at least mine does).
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] Gravol:
Damn, just got this case. Really slick, I'm a little worried about the camera it's rather flush but better than nothing haha
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] nibs777:
Try the Slim Armor, gives a good 2mm or so protection to the camera
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] Incineroar:
I can vouch for the Slim Armor case. Just picked up a P20 Pro yesterday and Spigen was my go-to brand and it's really nice and not super bulky.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] Le_Petit_Lapin:
The rugged armor is good but the glass screen cover that Spiegen offers is crap! I've had it on the phone for 2 days, just took it out of my pocket and theres a crack right across the screen cover! This is with the Rugged Armor on the phone too, so theres a nice big lip above the screen cover to protect the edges. Nothing else in my pockets either, I'm very careful with my phones.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] nibs777:
I have to disagree with the above ref the Spigen screen protector, I have had one on for 3 weeks and am really impressed with it. My phone has been with me everywhere in that time and has taken a couple of drops and knocks and the cover is holding up really well, also it looks and feels far better than the others I have tried. I'm using with the Slim Armor and together it's very well protected
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] hackdrag0n:
I'd be surprised if the screen protector just magically broke on it's own. Probably just took some minor impact at a fateful angle. Maybe ask Spigen for a warranty and see what happens.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] freddyttt:
I returned my spiegen tough armour because of the lack of camera protection.

went with this instead... purchased 3 of them(different colors)

great case with camera protection

[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] nomadtor416:
I got the Spigen case before I picked up the P20 Pro. Never had an issue with it; I even stuck an iRing to the back of the case so that it gives me some added security if I somehow lose grip of the case.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] Frontfiringspeakers:
It's true that the camera hump is close to the plastic spigen back. But it is enough to protect the camera. There is no doubt that it could be better. Spigen have recognised this and brought out a new case. See the spigen website

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giancki:
Hi everyone, I am having a similar problem to thread https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-mini/help/bootloop-recovery-installed-odin-t3735947.

In March 2018 I have installed Novafusion RR distribution to S3 Mini because it was rebooting all the time, but since I didn't liked it I went back to the original firmware (Austrian, the cell was bought in Vienna and when my brother gave to me I had to hard reset because was restarting when using some apps. I tried to install Cyanogen but didn't work well and the only firmware I was able to use was the original from Austria, when I've tried the Italian one it didn't work...).

A month later my cell died, it wasn't turning on. The guy in the repair shop told me it wasn't the battery because it was not turning on with direct cable connection... the next day it was when I tried again it turned on, buy kept rebooting after Samsung Logo and model name. I bought a new original battery, charged it but still the same problem.

I tried to install twrp and cwm via Odin but nothing works, it freezes on the "Samsung Galaxy s3 mini" or it keeps rebooting...

If I enter in Odin mode, on Keys it keeps turning the wheel trying to connect but nothing happens. The PC install the samsung drivers normally.

I would like to know if there is something that I can do, because I want to backup some contacts that were saved in the phone memory, sms and the last Whatsapp chat, for some reason the last automatic one is from January even if in march I did have all the chats in Novafusion RR and when I went back to the stock...

I can enter in download mode only. Is it possible to use Odin or something else, like adb, to back up the files? In some threads I've read that if I flash the firmware via Odin, like an update it should keep all the programs, but some people says it delete everything... since I don't want to risk, I would like to know if it is true or not...

Any help, suggestions etc?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Thetmar:
I tried it also to flash to another rom. But at 16% it stops and i dont now why but i cant repair the rom. When i reboot the kaiser phone he comes directly in bootloader mode.

The do nothing anymore, i tried to flash from sd or mtty. Nothing works.

By mtty, i get the error that the command boot is a false command.

So i think my phone is really ****t up. :( this is really the firt time in 3 years my phone stops and i cant find solutions on XDA.

I can found only this tread with :

For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:

1. Download mtty.exe

2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")

3. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.

4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.

5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.

6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:

Code:

Cmd> boot

InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1

No card inserted

OSSIReadBack ++

Read SI data from flash success

tail signature match

Checksum match

UserStorageSIPreload ++After that device should boot WM6 again, you can now re-enable USB connections in activesync and flash HardSPL

But it won't work.

I hope somebody can help me a litlle.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rock4mayo:
Why you dont use hard spl??

have you read the wiki first before flashing your device??

carefull with mtty...can brick your phone forever

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Thetmar:
I'v used mtty ande the command set 16 0.

And my phone is working again perfectly, only i can't get another rom on it!! I't stuck on 0% with all the spl versions. And the computer says 260 communication error.

I think i go back to the shop and ask for another phone.

My buddy has no problem to flash it. And i had the same phone and have bseveral problems.

Many many downloads and software on this site but i think i tryed almost everything.

Already thanks for saving my phone ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] XtreMe_G:
error 260 is an open port error, you can try changing usb ports, rebooting your pc, turning off firewalls/antivirus

and you still did not answer me, are you using sspl to flash your phone??? i seriously doubt there is anything wrong with the phone.
