[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] JohnJeffreyJones:
Hi

given this is my first thread here, please redirect me, if my search-fu did not lead me to the correct post.

I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my 5T but after successful flashing it is simply displaying the boot animation of Lineage and nothing else happens and no connection with ADB is possible at that time. Steps I did (following this guide):

updated to stock OxygenOS (A5010_43_180223), reboot, ...

enable dev options

enable USB debugging, advanced reboot, OEM unlock

reboot into bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

enable dev options, USB debugging, advanced reboot, OEM unlock again

reboot into bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.73-op5_op5t.img (also tried twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-dumpling.img and twrp-3.2.1-2-dumpling.img)

boot into recovery

swipe to allow system changes (no change detected when not doing this)

adb push lineage-15.1-20180402-microG-dumpling.zip /sdcard/ (also tried older images or standard lineage build)

install this via TWRP

when done, wipe cache/dalvik

reboot system

boot animation for a very, very long time (longest waiting time > 45 minutes)

Initially, I had magisk v16 also thrown into the mix, but to reduce complexity I don't at the moment.

Interestingly, once I'm at this stage and the boot fails (also not on second or third try after force-reboot), I cannot get stock (OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_030_all_1802230142_ebdb8bfbc359405a.zip ) to boot anymore, it also is stuck in boot animation. The only way to get back to working stock ROM found so far is flashing original recovery and firmware (sideloading) and locking of boot loader again.

Does this sound familiar to anyone, as I'm running out of ideas what I did wrong and where.:confused:

Thanks a lot in advance for any pointers!
[Android Head-Units] DreckSoft:
I have a few issues I'd like to resolve but couldn't find anything.

1. As I have a DAB and DVB-T2 Stick attached the DAB application always autostarts and I get asked if I want to start PadTV. Is there any way to disable the USB autostart?

2. Is there any way to disable the "Improve location accuracy" on every start. I do not want to set it to high accuracy. There is not use in the car and I don't want to transmit my location data to Google

3. Is it possible to enable TA in the radio? So that Traffic Annoucements will interrupt Music/DAB/... ?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] @Peterrrrr:
Im in thoughts in buying a U11, but have a few questions :)

1) Is expanded desktop option available in the U11 settings(stock firmware)?

2) How close is HTC own firmware to Vanilla Android? Is it alot of bloatware?

3) How well does the custom roms like Aosp and Lineage handle the camera? Does it get more worse then the stock camera or is the stock camera ported to the custom roms?

4) Does anyone here have a few DNG Raw samples, would be really glad if I could get a few samples on outdoors daylight.

Thanks!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
I'd recommend you drop into a phone shop and try the phone for yourself.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] @Peterrrrr:
The problem is that there isnt many stores that have U11 in stock.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
I'd say wait for the u12 if you want a top end phone but with that comes top end prices. The U11 is an excellent phone but if you want top end photos, buy a top end camera. What the U11 does, it does well but it is by no means a master of all trades. No phone ever will be.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] @Peterrrrr:
But thats not really an answer on my questions ;)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Pantumaca:
1) I don't know what is "expanded desktop"

2) No bloatware, only mail, weather and themes apps.

3) I don't use custom ROMs

4) Search in dxomark. Was the highest rated camera last year.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] @Peterrrrr:
1) Expanded desktop makes it possible to hide the status field so you get more screen when using apps :)

4) Didnt find any DNG raw files on that review :(
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Pantumaca:
You mean "inmersive mode", right? Well, if the app has that option then yes. I use that with Flipboard.

If the jpg images look good there is no reason to think that the raw will be bad, I think.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] @Peterrrrr:
No immersive mode is an option in a specific app or an app(often root needed), expanded desktop can be found in the settings in the phone :)

Sadly it isnt the case all the time :( I have seen a few top models dng files, without the adjustment in sharpness, noise reduction, color, contrast and clearness they can look like **** :)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Pantumaca:
There is no expanded desktop option.

The dng files are for edit them, they will never look "fine" until you spend some hours of editing. That is what they are made for.

Hello..

Piece upon you all...

I have a problem it started 3 days ago i was on facebook warch a video but it suddenly tooke to the feed screen like it keeps resetting itself and then start to happen to youtube and other apps tried factory reset but nothing happened any ideas?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Perhaps you have contracted a nasty virus from the FB video? Do you have any anti-virus or anti-malware app installed?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] ifiras:
I did a full wipe and factory reset
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
If the problem still continues after doing this, then there are one of two possibilities:

1. There are still hidden things lurking around. In this case you will need to "format data" (i.e.,

format

the data partition). You will lose all the contents of your internal SD - but you would also get rid of the problem.

2. You have a hardware problem. In this case, you will need to claim on the warranty, or return the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] ifiras:
Okey what u mean by formating the data partion

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] skromnia:
Guys I've just watched an amazing 960fps slow-mo video compilation which shows that you can actually capture some nice stuff and be creative despite the low quality 720p resolution of the Galaxy S9. I really hope they do 1080p 960fps in the Note 9 and improve the auto capture algorithms and I can see everybody shooting slow motion videos soon.

Here is the link if you are interested: https://youtu.be/gWZ6ePV0SpI
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] skromnia:
Lol it's pretty lonesome in here, nobody into 960fps videos?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Bnighgrow:
I think the feature is pretty sweet. After tinkering with it and practicing few shots, I've been able to capture a few sweet golf shots or moments with my kids. One thing I came across was that if you don't have enough light to capture in super slow motion you can still use the regular slow motion which can be used in low light conditions.

To make this an available option go into your camera app > Settings > Scroll Down to Edit Camera modes > Rear Camera > Check Slow Motion.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2j2612:
Hello,

I am basically a noob, who has tried every possible method to remove the china malware apps from the tablet my mom bought off from ebay. The tablet keeps installing some sort of app in the background every 10 minutes, named ASYSTEM, which then runs ads for porn or games or installs unwanted apps in the background and after an hour or so, the tablet becomes absolutely unusable.

Below are the specs of the tablet I copied using MTKDroid Tools:

Hardware : MT6582

Model : ZH960

Build number : K1001_SP_V1.1.0_171226

Build date UTC : 20171226-111133

Android v : 5.1

Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V39, 2017/08/09 14:49

Kernel v : 3.4.67 (twd@twd-server3) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Jan 4 10:03:41 CST 2018

I have tried the MTKDroid tools and SP Flash tool, but everytime I try to select the "Recovery" option while trying to "Download" the rom image created from "Readback", it doesn't allow me to select the same.

As for using flash tools, I have tried using Kingoroot, King root, iRoot, Framaroot and a lot of others which 'assured' root access, but failed at around 70-80% mark everytime. I have been trying to root this for about 1 month now to no avail.

I am literally at my wits end with this tablet, and am turning to the experts here for help. How can I Root this tablet and if possible, wipe the custom android and install another rom?

Please help a noob kindly
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayTay:
hi. I have basically the same problem, though I was able to root mine with Kingoroot.

My stumbling block is trying to find a custom ROM and/or firmware for it.

If you find anything, please make sure to post and I will too.

Hi, my name is Nan & i just bought this Samsung Galaxy J3 Luna Pro (SM-S327VL) Tracfone...though i can take apart & rebuild a computer, laptop & even tablets from the ground up, im new to Smartphones, a virtual Noob..but..i learn quickly, once i've been shown how or where to learn abt stuff.....bought this phone cos i can't afford the high end phones & it seemed to have some nice features...and quite frankly i did not expect to have all this trouble finding information on how to tweak it or i would have kept my ancient relic trusty flipfone......this Luna, it's loaded with bloatwarez...so i saved & bought a huge 256 mSD(SanDisk, not a knockoff) for it..but hardly anything will move to the SD even though i made it the go to download storage, replacing the internal....hate loosing all the cool apps i have on it & giving up the dream of an integrated AI Smarthome(have Echo & Dot & hubs & Echo already answers landline & makes calls, etc) All run by a Smartphone instead of a gaggly collection of remotes & lets not forget all those delish VR capabilities i know are underway...my fear is..the apps themselves may be refusing to move? Absurd as that seems it sure seems that way..&...Every rooter i've looked at seems to be for the original J3 but not the Luna.....without full knowledge im scared of creating a pretty pathetic paperweight brick...too many infos on this phone are greyed out...Does a place exist to read up on full details the obviously Altered Android of this particular phone? & if not does anyone here know what, if anything, can i do to take the necessary steps for manual root & maybe even check if it's possibly still somehow locked?

I have same phone. Nothing's rooting it. But I'm not very knowledgeable on root, flash, roms etc.

Did u get root sucess?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] CaelThunderwing:
for rooting theres been work but no Cigar the J3 Luna Pro is shipped w/ a Locked bootloader and Knox Enabled / SELinux set to Enforcing. without a signed rom w/ these disabled rooting goes and will go nowhere. :/ if you got this phone for rooting you screwed teh pooch as it were to use a slightly bad term.

and i belive tracphone's unlocking rules is you haveto have the device n activated for like a year or 2 i think? if you want a verry similar phone seems they had success w/ the J3 Emerge which is pretty much the same exact phone but w/ more ram to the thing. and designed to run on the bigger carrier's networks

hi guys

first of all sorry for this subject name but im really pissed off, so pissed i could kill sum1 seriously...

i bought this friggin ppc like 2 years soon, and of all that 2 years i've been using it for half a year in total...

first problem was lcd missaligned, than soon started USB problems..

managed to repair LCD (changed it completely) but now the USB problem remains and im friggin tired dead of all this mess... i don't have a clue what to do anymore..

so, cignular 8125, G3 series... molski 2.26.10.2 AKU 2.3 rom on it...

problems now:

it boots up after 2-3 minutes..

than the worst problem is that USB cant sync with pc...

i tried plugging in motherboard usb on pc,. than tried to get even a 2nd PCI usb card and always the same problem..

when i connect pc via usb cable to ppc, i see ballon saying: usb found, generic rndis, PocketPC mobile based bla bla bla and after few secs i get usb hardware might not work properly, error ocured.. and that happens all the time, i even get sometimes on PPC a screen saying USB> connecting to host (cancel, hide) and it freezes there...

so, after this mess i send ppc to a service guy that changed me the USB plug on ppc (as u guys said it could solve the problem http://tinyurl.com/3xvj4m )

so he changed it and im stuck again on this friggin ppc...

goddamn %&/()= i wish i was never so stupid to buy this piece of machinery, after only half a year it bricked down and now i'm only loosing my mind...

anyway... can anyone make this for me http://tinyurl.com/2ku6lw copy his rom on sd card and send me that copy of sd card over mail or put it on ftp?

Any other thing doesnt help me, even in bootload mode it says USB in left corner on ppc, but again pc says usb not recognized and again it wont get connected (so no RUU update)...

guys, im seriously desperate.... :mad::mad::mad::mad:

btw, anyone knows sum1 in eastern or central europe a person or service capable to fix this....? the ppc i got it from usa, but im in eastern europe..

thanks and i hope u will understand my nervouse..

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] KyleLee088:
Hi guys,

I have a Redmi Note 4 MTK and this is the first time I will be using a custom ROM on this device. The reason I want to switch to a custom ROM is because I am facing huge battery drains overnight (approx. 40%~60%) with the stock MIUI ROM.

Between the EpicROM and Xiaomi EU ROM, which one is better and recommended?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
I highly doubt that the stock ROM is responsible for such a high battery drain. Probably one of your apps is the reason.

Xiaomi EU ROMs are based on China Stable and China Developer ROMs. They remove some bloat ware (like most Google Apps) and some MIUI Apps which you can simply download from the PlayStore if needed.

Epic ROM is always based on Developer ROMs and has more Modifications/Tweaks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] KyleLee088:
Hmm, seems like EpicROM would be a better option for me then.

I still get the same battery drain overnight even after factory resetting the phone and not installing any apps. I think my battery issue is caused by the phone not entering deep sleep.

I've been having lots of issues with my model. I plan to upgrade to the new Redmi Note 5 Pro once it is launched in my country.

Hi!

I just received the XZ2 Compact and wondering if a USB-C to HDMI Adapter will work. The SoC supports it but it seems that the support is not integrated. I checked out an adapter that worked perfect with an HTC U11.

The XZ2 Compact itself is a bit thick but awesome, just fell in love with the speed. :o

Any comments welcome!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] Sumenthus:
USB-C to HDMI and DisplayPort are part of the USB 3.1 standard but the device has to support it. Fortunately, SD835 and 845 both do but Sony admitted they disabled it in their 835 generation as part of a "design decision", even their Open Devices AOSP build can't use it. Any straight USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort cable would work the same so long as it does not include additional peripherals like a card reader, extra USB ports, or anything else. Give it a try and us know.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] Sumenthus:
No DisplayPort Alt

I just got mine today, no displayport alt support...again. DisplayLink works but audio doesn't as usual and options are limited since it's a proprietary solution.

Sony doesn't do enough with its phones to justify overlooking this. This is my last Sony phone.
