Hello!

Firstly, sorry for "reviving" this old topic :)

I'm here because I have a "similar" device (Asus Zenpad S8.0 (Z580CA) and I'm just wondering if something like this is possible for that device too.

How would one make this?

And also, if a bootloader like this wouldn't be possible on my device, how would I get postmarketOS?
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] Ulumia:
Compiled from the most recent esp.img sources

May be useful for someone
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] Ulumia:
Can you tell me how it's similar to the ME176C?

The ME176C has Bay Trail, which is built for both Windows and Android, which means it has EFI, ACPI, and full Intel HD Graphics.

Your Moorefield device is Android-only and has Power VR and likely lacks EFI and ACPI.

The same goes for x86 smartphones.

But if you do have EFI, it will just work.

But GPU support in pmOS will be much worse because of PowerVR.

Hi, I've made a big mistake. I went on the efi menu and accidentally selected an option that now doesn't let me go back into the bios menu. When I turn on the tablet, nothing comes up; however, when I plug it in, the screen lights up with no text whatsoever. Could anyone help me with this problem? Thanks.
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] Ulumia:
Why do people keep calling it BIOS when there is no BIOS support left on this tablet and only EFI?

In any case, connect the keyboard with a USB hub with power and press F2 on the keyboard at power on to get into EFI OR press Vol Down+Vol Up+Power and restore the firmware via DNX/Rescue mode.
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] alansojan2021:
Thanks for the reply and the correction. I've tried entering EFI using the keyboard and USB hub with power while pressing F2, but the screen is lighting up with nothing on it. Trying to enter DNX/Rescue mode also has nothing coming up on screen except the screen is lighting up.
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] Ulumia:
What do you mean?

A plugged-in tablet charger or a USB hub with extra power?

How is it detected on the PC?
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] alansojan2021:
Hi, this is the usb adapter

i plugged the usb adapter with a micro usb cable also
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] alansojan2021:
My computer recognises the tablet as "Intel android AD" I've tried to recover the tablet with this guide https://github.com/me176c-dev/me176c-boot but the tablet stays with a blank screen with lighting.
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] Ulumia:
Then all is very well and you can restore the tablet through userdebug firmware

Link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4m1L/n8krJkHJu

But there will be a lot of debugging stuff in it which you don't need, so either install me176c-boot and then LineageOS or install regular user recovery and flash the regular firmware.

If you are on Windows you need to run debrick-flashall-FW-no_wipe.cmd and if you are on Linux you need to run debrick-flashall-FW-no_wipe.sh.

Does this supply power to the connected USB devices or charge the tablet?

It needs to be the former.

A4Tech HUB-20 works for my ME176CX
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] alansojan2021:
Okay, I will try and let you know how it goes. Thank you!

Yes, this supplies power to the USB devices.
[MeMO Pad 7 Original Android Development] alansojan2021:
Thank you so much for the help! However this issue has been solved by stephan-gh on github. He told me to blindly select options in the EFI menu and it worked!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
I have noticed that the speakers on the XZ1C seem to distort very readily when playing certain kinds of sounds. I notice it especially when playing piano music, such as:

https://youtu.be/E4jTZFgkGaE

It would be helpful if someone else could play that same music, and let me know whether they hear the distortion that I'm hearing. I hear the distortion generally starting at about 70% volume.

I naturally don't want to send the phone to Sony for a possible repair if this is expected behavior from this particular model. Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] xmanfit0:
This is quite a lovely song. No, I don't hear any distortion, even at max volume. Before you try a possible repair, try running a different ROM or an audio mod. I'm running Resurrection Remix and don't hear anything out of the ordinary. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "distortion" though.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
Thanks for your reply. By "distortion" I mean the change in tone when the music is very quiet versus a kind of a rattling additional sound on the louder notes. This is apart from the sound of the piano itself, which even though it becomes more brilliant as it gets louder, never becomes harsh.

I'm hoping that somebody who listens to this music on an XZ1C can say that they don't hear anything that sounds like a speaker that has been previously overdriven and now distorts at higher volume. I'm aware of course that this is a small device with tiny speakers, but I don't hear the equivalent problem on an Xperia X Compact.

I don't actually believe that the distortion is limited to piano music, but the nature of the "clean" piano sound is such that any kind of imperfections are brought out.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Lucki_X:
I hear that distortions on volume approximately 70% and more in speakers when piano plays louder tones.

Odesláno z mého G8441 pomocí Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] inasense:
I hear it as well-the kind of distortion a blown speaker makes-a sort of dry "rattling" from the driver being stressed. My phone is only a couple weeks old, so I would assume it's just an inherent flaw of the driver design.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
Thank you all. I think I have my answer and will not bother sending the phone to Sony. I am otherwise happy with the device, so I can live with this design flaw. My guess is it might possibly have something to do with the coating used as water-proofing.

Ok so I think I have figured out the issue with the screen timeout issue on LG new phones. I have had LG in the past year or two so not sure why after having couple other branded phones between times took me so long to recognize this issues fix if we call it that. Ok so when your screen times out and goes black you hit the side power button to wake phone. It is irritating to put password back in right. Well LG has had this new tap screen optio for a minute. Tap screen wake does not trigger security for phone. Issues fixed

Somebody knows how to win this trouble?
[General Questions and Answers] mprox:
Unfortunately, Settings has stopped, is announced at every start-up and action. After factory reset, and remove all data, after recharge, after being off for hours or days. The phone is only capable of one action.

The display of "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" any attempt to fix it in settings results in "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". There is no action the phone can perform except "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

No apps

[General Questions and Answers] cdgcdg:
same problem here...
[General Questions and Answers] frozelio:
Same problem. I've tried everything. I've flashed all the possible roms for him and nothing solves the problem.
[General Questions and Answers] frozelio:
Friends,

After trying hard enough, I was able to solve the problem. Here is what I did:

First of all, enable the developer and usb debugging option. Try to do it fast, as the error keeps popping up constantly.

Do it at your own risk. If you do not have advanced knowledge on Android ask someone who has help you.

1 - I used the SP Flash Tool v.5.1628 to pass the Stock Rom v6.1.4;

Note: Uncheck the preloader option.

Tutorial: https://www.getdroidtips.com/flash-stock-firmware-using-sp-flash-tool/

2 - After passing the ROM the error persisted, so I first added the IMEIs again since when it passes the ROM it loses the IMEIS;

Note: Open the dialer and use the code *#*#12306#*# * to add the IMEIs.

Tutorial: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/fix-how-to-fix-imei-homtom-ht16-ht16-pro-t3593420

3 - I downloaded TWRP v3.1.1 and using SP Flash Tool v.5.1628 I passed it on the device;

Note: Much like Step 1.

4 - With TWRP already in the device, I downloaded the ROM Lineage 14.1 unofficial version for the Homtom HT16 and I used the TWRP to install it in the device;

Tutorial: https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery/

Note: Before doing this step use the WIP function of TWRP to clean everything and have no problem.

I recommend not to change the language but to leave in English, therefore I had problems when switching to Portuguese. The screen lock stopped working;

5 - I downloaded the opengapps arm 7.1 nano and I also used the TWRP to install;

Tutorial: https://www.getdroidtips.com/download-install-gapps-cm14-cm14-1-roms/

With this I have functional cell phone again and much better than it was.

Links of everything I've used:

TWRP: http://bit.ly/2JBQBhY

Stock Rom: http://bit.ly/2LfoXUc

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rwilliam:
I'm currently using the PDAViet 6.1 ROM. I'm very happy with this ROM but have one issue I haven't been able to figure out. Several of the newer WM 6.1 ROMs have a Flash Disk area that shows up like a storage card. Several programs such as Outlook or Live Search can use a storage card for attachments, cache, etc. My problem is that the settings screens for the programs only give the option of using storage card or internal memory. If you select storage card it will default to the first storage card, the flash disk, instead of the much larger SD card. Is there any way to tell these programs to use the SD card instead of the Flash Disk? Or, is there any way to change the order that the storage areas show up in so that the SD card would appear in the list before the Flash disk?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mzalan:
Is it only "Storage" instead of "Storage Card"? If yes, it is the Extended ROM, which developers usually reveal and unlock in order to customize their ROMs before release. Just before uploading, they lock it back, but re-hiding it is notoriously difficult.

So, don't worry, you can't use it for anything, 'cause locked, you can only browse it. However, I would consider another ROM, because a visible ExtROM is known to cause problems with several applications, such as mail, if it is set to use a Storage Card to store attachments.

Hope this cleared things up a bit... ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rwilliam:
This is a description from another thread:

What is Flash disk (FD)?

FD is the additional space usually un-utilized in the ROM (nk.nba). FD has no effect to the space allocated for regular storage (36 - 40 MB). Having FD means, your net storage is: Regular storage + FD. i.e. 40 + 15 = 55 MB.

So, I believe you are right that I will need to use another ROM to resolve this issue. Its a shame, I really like everything else about this one. Hopefully PDAVIET and others will see the light that a few MB in the grand scheme of things isn't that important when SD cards are getting cheaper.

Thanks for the reply.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mzalan:
This is what this forum is for: to help each other! ;)

Could you post a link to the thread you got the definition from?

I always thought the flash disk was the application used to host the SD card through the USB, making the Uni function as an SD card reader...:o

Anyway, that unused space can't be utilized since the ExtROM is usually hidden, or at least locked. There exists a program to unhide and unlock this area, which, when cleared, gives an extra 10-15 MB of storage space, but might still cause problems with some applications, mostly Outlook.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rwilliam:
The quote is from the second post of the thread for Ranju's WM 6.1 ROM, which is similar to the PDAVIET ROM I am using. Several of the 6.1 ROMs appear to have this Flash Disk "feature".
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] casouzaj:
To store attachments and/or the e-mail messages themselves in the storage card in WM6/WM6.1, perform the following tasks:

1 - Go to the Storage tab in the mail options, tick the "When available, use this storage card to store attachments" box, prior to perform the changes I'll suggest, because, at the moment you do that, your system will redirect it to your extended ROM (or flash disk) in the registry. When you perform the changes, you'll overwrite those settings afterwards. And don't worry that, when you go back to check those mail options, it will keep showing a small ammount at "Current size of attachments". Your data will be saved to your storage card, anyway;

2 - Create a folder and a subfolder in your card, e.g. "\Storage Cardi\Inbox\" and "\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments\" (without the quotes);

3 - Include the following keys at "HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings" (all without quotes, as well):

- "AttachPath", with value (string) = "\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments", for the attachments;

- "PropertyPath", with value (string) = "\Storage Card\Inbox", for the messages themselves.

4 -Soft reset your device.

Hope it works for you...

Cheers!

Carlos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rwilliam:
Thanks, that works... sort of.

After following your instructions and a soft reset I get a folder named "Storage Card" with a normal folder icon and a folder named "Storage Card 2" with the SD folder icon. "Storage Card" contains an Inbox and Inbox/Attachments folder. "Storage Card 2" is my SD card with the Inbox and Inbox/Attachments folders I created. After sending myself a test email outlook is using the folders in "Storage Card", which appears to be on internal memory and not the folders on my SD card.

So I removed my SD card, which made the "Storage Card 2" disappear. I then manually deleted the remaining "Storage Card" folder. Next I reinserted my SD card and "Storage Card" reappeared in File Explorer with the appropriate icon. Now when I check my email everything works as expected with attachments going to the SD card.

Problem is that "Storage Card" and "Storage Card 2" reappear after a soft reset and I have to go through removing the SD card, deleting the folder, etc all over again.

Same problem

I'm having the exact same issue with my JASJAR (Universal) running Ranju v7.7 WM6.1 ROM. Has anyone found a resolution? Does anyone know how to Hide or completely Disable that stupid "Flash Disk." I tried renaming it with SKTools, to xxFlash Disk so the actual SD Card can be seen 1st by the messaging app, but it still shows Flash Disk in file explorer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] billyJAM:
I had the exact same problem. Here's how to resolve it:

-Disable the MESSAGING PLUG-IN. (You can use some other plug-in to count your unread messages on your today screen, like PhoneWeaver, Wisbar, Phone Alarm, etc, etc.)

-Eject SD Card

-Delete StorageCard (folder that actually exists on main memory)

-Insert SD Card

-Soft Reset

-The Storage Card 2 issue shouldn't be there anymore!

Second, so many Problems with Bluetooth-Connect. I'll paire the Nokia with my Garmin Vivoactive 3 - the initial Pair and the intial Synch will works fine. Leave the Connection-Area, the Nokia doesen't reconnect the Watch.

Keep in mind that the phone is just released here in Europe. We can't expect them to just have fixed every problem in the universe. ;)

I too have sometimes problems with some minor lag, but I just think we need to be a little more patient for Nokia/Google to release improvements.

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] bo6o:
TA-1068 - two different Bluetooth headsets connect flawlessly, but when the phone is in my pocket I experience some connection problems, like losing connection for a moment. If it's out of the pocket and near the headset, connection is ok. Guess some range problems...
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] mymeatb18:
I was experiencing the lagging as well, very very noticeable and not good considering previous phone was Moto g2015 and felt just as slow as the Nokia.

So I decided to try something which seems to have fixed all lagging. I disabled the camera app that came with the phone, installed Google camera, and then restarted. Lag is now gone. It really sucks they shipped this phone with a buggy camera app but glad I figured out a fix
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] Tremelo:
I'm having very annoying audio problems with the 6.1, with both Bluetooth and the audio jack.

When I connect my phone to a speaker or headset via Bluetooth, the audio is constantly dropping out. Once every 10-20 seconds it sounds like someone turns the sound to 0, pauses, then slowly turns the volume back up again. And this happens with the phone sitting less than 2 feet away from the speaker/headphones. I've tried with two Bluetooth devices (3-4 year old jLab Crasher; brand new Anker headphones) and 2 apps (Amazon Music; Podcast Addict) and all 4 combinations had the constant drop outs. I've tried rebooting the phone. I've used the Bluetooth headset on a different, much older, device and had no issue, so I'm nearly positive it's the phone. Are other people experiencing these frequent drop outs too? Or do I just have a defective Bluetooth radio in my phone?

Normally I don't even use Bluetooth because I prefer the consistency of a plugged in cable. I probably wouldn't have even discovered the Bluetooth problem were it not for the audio jack. It's not as consistent but just as annoying. I'll be listening to Podcast Addict and suddenly the audio will just stop playing through my headphones. I'll look at the app and about half the time the podcast will be paused but the other half it'll still be playing and I'll have to do a weird combination of unplugging and re-plugging the headphones combined with closing and reopening the podcast before it'll play through the headphones again. Again, is anyone else experiencing headphone jack issues?

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] john.r.m:
I too came from Moto

the camera issues can be remedied by side loading the 7 plus camera apk and with BT try disabling BT "scanning" in the settings. I also noticed an improvement with Wifi by disabling "scanning" as well .
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] Tremelo:
At the risk of jinxing things, I think that fixed it! I had seen something for the Nokia 6 (2017) about disabling BT scanning but I couldn't find it anywhere on my menu so I thought it was specific to that model. Dopey me. Finally found it and switched scanning off and now I've listened over 5 minutes without a single drop out. Thanks!

Edit: Well, that worked for one night. Turned off the Bluetooth and Wifi scanners and was able to listen over Bluetooth for over an hour with just one drop. Then this morning got 5 drops in a minute. Rebooted the phone and got even more. Will contact Nokia support.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] bo6o:
Strange. I have obviously switched off the scanning at first set up, but Bluetooth problem is there...
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] divvykev:
Same here. Tried disabling scanning (after finding it under security of all places!!!) still have dropouts on bluetooth.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] Tremelo:
I used the Nokia support app and this is what transpired:

1) They had me try the Bluetooth in Safe Mode (while holding power button down tap Restart and then a prompt should pop up for Safe Mode; Click that).

2) In Safe Mode listened to 10 minutes of YouTube drop-free

3) Rebooted into Normal Mode and got 3 drops in the first 1 minute.

4) Back to the chat, where Support had me clear the Bluetooth cache (Applications --> Show System Apps (from 3 dots drop down in upper right corner) --> Bluetooth --> Storage --> Clear cache --> Restart) Did not help me. 3 drop outs in first 60 seconds after restart.

5) Next Support had me Reset Network Settings. (Settings --> Network & Internet--> 3 dots in upper right corner --> Reset WiFi, Mobile & Bluetooth)

6) This works!... For now at least. I'll use it and slowly re-add other Bluetooth devices like my car, my Fitbit, etc. If the audio drops suddenly reappear it may give me a clue on what is causing the problem.
