A quick look at his profile shows he's from Russia.

I understand that the majority of owners are Indians but you just can't generalize people like that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dfkt_:
Look at the first post again, the "team potato" part. The vast majority of them are Indians. I know mdeejay is from Russia. He only built that ROM for the R5P, but that doesn't mean he's part of that "team".

Almost all of the indistinguishable ROMs in this forum with all the same features and "focus on stability and performance" are of Indian origin, with a few exceptions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ekowanz:
actually there's nothing wrong with so many custom rom from indians, im quite happy with it. Though most of them had similar features, and i do try every one of them, not all of it ofc.

Some of them had many bug's, some of it isn't. This one is one of my favorite.

I welcomed all of the roms

Hey, I know TG's are a pain with 2.5D glass but anyone used LOCA glue application? I did it on my Essential phone with great results. I'll probably do same with my OP6 which arrives tomorrow :)
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] UniX1rm:
Interesting, was thinking about doing that as well. What kind of glue did you use before?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] B3501:
Yeah, I've been thinking about it. The Whitestone protectors are great and that's all they are.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] jabbermacy:
This is what I used, but I think it has a bit HIGH viscosity, it takes ~10-15 min to fully fill out the TGSP. I masked off the entire phone with tape to prevent any disasters :) You have to TRUST in your usage amount, pop bubbles with a pin or bent paperclip, and just let the material flow naturally. Also, watch for TGSP 'drift' as it will float while dispersing! TRY NOT to push around the SP, just help guide by 1mm or 2, NOT TOO FAR!!

It's NOT difficult but I was sweating the first time and messed up, just use rubbing alcohol and lint free cloth to remove the glue and do it again. Trust me, you can do it if my stupid ass can do it :) :)

I just got this one because I no longer need the light and believe this will flow a lot better

[OnePlus 6 Accessories] x111:
with beautiful flat screen you do not need any extra glue.

just a little bit oil and you good to go if you have any air pockets on the edges.

Shame on screen protector makers not to mention about this trick !!

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SlyUK:
Does this basically mean we are about to see a massive surge in development of custom roms and kernels for it ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NikkeNok:
If we're lucky! It all depends on developers adopting development for the device as with every device. But price to hardware ratio I think (and hope) that it'll happen. When a good ROM comes out, this will probably be my next device!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nguyenlucky:
If it's released globally, then expect a ton of Roms and kernels ;)

example: Mi note 3 has the sources,but is China-only, so development is pretty much dead :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NikkeNok:
I do expect it too as well. It's already available from several importers. However Xiaomi announced that the 'regular' Mi 8 is coming to Europe in August - no mention of the SE version though.

Hi,

I have a Amazfit watch Paceficator with WOS2, the GPS is always On ?

If yes, how to disable it (becauce save my battery) ?

(I do not use my watch to play sports)

Thanks
[Amazfit] lfom:
It's always ON, but only activated when recording an outdoor activity, so no need to worry about this. To save battery:

- make sure Autoupload and WiFi are off (probably they are off if you have never connected to WiFi)

- Use Auto-brightness or set it to zero when outside

- Turn off "raise to wake" and delete all alarms

- Make sure Continuous HR in HR widget and PPG capture in Huami Lab (Settings) are off (they are off by default)

- If you don't need notifications and/or you are away from phone, turn on Airplane mode.

Hi all,

My Oneplus 6 cannot decrypt itself in recovery, in either the default recovery or the latest official TWRP. Is this expected? It's a bit of a hassle re-adding fingerprints every time I need to update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuantumNetworks:
Evening all,

So I have started my three months free YouTube premium, to see if it's worth it from September onwards except there is an issue I'm encountering which doesn't seem to affect other phones.

YouTube Premium allows for background play, either with another app open or with your phone locked however on my P20 Pro the music stops after 3 minutes. It doesn't pause, it just stops playing and resumes as soon as I touch the screen or a button on the phone.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Telurian:
Did you find the solution?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Ereniemis:
I believe the problem could be with battery optimisations as usual. Open settings -> apps -> find the youtube and in battery settings and disable "power intensive promt" and in "app launch" switch to "manage manually" and turn all the three switches on. Report back

The arcsoft MMS program doesn't work anymore.. There are a few new workarounds in development, but they're all beta testing. Do a search on PPCgeeks for MMS app and you'll find No2Chem's nuemms.. I think it's the closest to complete right now...

Someone knows why when I install TWRP and install a ROM and I want to install the gapps it tells me that the ROM is 7.1 and when I want to install the 7.x gapps that is supposed to be said rom it tells me to install the gapps 8.x and when I do It tells me that I do not have enough space and apart when I install any ROM it also installs the reecovery of it.

The steps should be

Do necessary wipes

Install rom

Install gapps+magisk

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CL4P-TP:
Hello everyone

A week ago I bought my Galaxy S9+. Sad to say that I've been having connection issues. When my wifi connection drops neither apps nor browser can connect to the internet even though the 4G logo is present at the top bar. To resolve this I need to do a reboot and then everything works normal.

Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Does this seem like a problem I could fix myself or should I return the phone (which I prefer not because of the hassle)...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] cosmy:
Hi, have you found any solution to your problem? I have a similar one and it starts doing that after the last update in June, before it used to work fine.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] James.Harking:
Thank you kindly for the work to get TWRP working on the X18 Plus! Are new versions of TWRP automatically built now along with all the other versions supported. How has the feedback been on the release?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yshalsager:
Yes, a new release is auto-built every month.

Tested by [MENTION=4517866]iNFeRNuSDaRK[/MENTION] and confirmed it's working. Except for encryption support.

Badly it seems there are some x18 Plus modifications missing in the recovery img

when i want to update the system i get things like

E3004: This package is for CUBOT_X18_Plus devices this is a cubot_x18.

even if try to modify the updater-script to ignore these checks, i fail at least at updating the system partitions, maybe some problems with encryption or file system layouts modifications for x18 plus are missing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HûnSt°rJonnyt:
ok i tried to recompile the recovery and tried to find the right parameters but this gets much more confusing, when i try to update to the latest official rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yshalsager:
Test the new build (will be uploaded here with today's date in some minutes) and check :D

[Build Progress]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HûnSt°rJonnyt:
same as with the old build

E3004: This package is for CUBOT_X18_Plus devices this is a cubot_x18.

Edit: ok i see, i think the build wasn't successfull so there where no changes in the .img

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

so i tried more stuff, when reverting back to original recovery i get

E3005: "EMMC:/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/boot:10138528:fcf3cc2d6ac345fa071fb12e409df7234de130cb:10156960:84a65157b0daa69dd9559f7d7b109ad2909e225b" has unexpected contents.

so i think maybe it's an issue with original update and unlocked bootloader, not sure how to understand this. Maybe TWRP is fine and this issue don't come when using custom rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yshalsager:
Well, build errored that's why it's the same.

This error you posted means you have modified boot partition, are you trying to flash an OTA?

Good morning everybody, I tried the new build but i have again the same error "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument).

Any new?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HûnSt°rJonnyt:
yes it's ota.

i will try new release soon
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yshalsager:
You can't flash ota if you made modifications to boot/system

So first flash full rom, flash ota, backup boot, flash magisk or whatever

when you get another ota, restore boot then flash, and so ;)

I ported Philz recovery to x18 plus, got it working, everything works fine except it can't mount /data :(:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] James.Harking:
So just asking asking between TWRP and now Philz recovery being ported is the X18 plus are we in a position where there is a working recovery that can install a GSI so we could use the Project Trebble ROMS? If not then what is the impediment stopping this? I am happy to try and contact Cubot directly if it helps out?

[MENTION=6084385]yshalsager[/MENTION] : I saw that you wrote in the other thread that you need the /vendor/etc/fstab.* files. Do you still need these? If I can get some instructions on how to provide these to you I happily will do.

Thanks all for continued work on this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamwash:
The recoveries are working alright, its just an issue with Oreo's force encryption of the data partition (the system automatically encrypts the data partition on 1st boot) if you do a full wipe of /data the encryption is cleared, you'll see TWRP can access it but after first boot its back to encrypted.

As for GSI I guess you can install (haven't had time to test thought), you may need to do a full wipe of /data before you boot the new system.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamwash:
I just tested out the official RR GSI from https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...pment/gsi-resurrection-remix-o-6-1-0-t3811299 on x18_plus everything working okay except MTP, you have to disable adb. And network when using dual SIM is not very stable
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yshalsager:
Give this a try and check if force encryption disabled

Hi [MENTION=6955825]kamwash[/MENTION] [MENTION=6084385]yshalsager[/MENTION],

Great work guys, could I request for the lurkers on this forum that you might point people to a guide for installing your recoveries? Or conversely write a few lines here if you have a few spare minutes. I think it would help out as other tutorials are not really specific for the X18 plus and people are scarred of bricking their working phones.

Many thanks gents!

Install using fastboot

As I already wrote in the first post
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
Hi I followed your instructions but no luck. It is still android stock recovery

I've done unlock bootloader and successfully "transfer" and "write" recovery.img but after reboot still not installed.

Any else method to install twrp?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamwash:
Don't reboot to system after installing the recovery, it will get overwritten with stock recovery. While still in fastboot mode press and hold power + volume up to reboot directly to recovery and flash superSU or magisk or else TWRP will disappear after reboot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
It works. Thank you very much:good:

Im going to flash AOSP-EX then which one should i download the image? Arm64 A or B?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamwash:
Use Arm64 A
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Philippe Brunner:

please link :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
Just got bootloop. I will try another treble roms:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamwash:
Just in case you are missing a step:

format /data,

flash stock boot img,

flash system.img,

flash magisk

reboot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
I have done these steps except flash stock boot img.

Edit : RR is booting now. Thank you very much.

Same steps apply with AEX still result a bootloop. Maybe boot.img for AEX is different
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamwash:
Yeah it comes in stock firmware, or in this case a backup before you rooted the phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
My RR detect 4gb only internal memory

Edit : now has 64gb internal memory.

1. Flash v31 stock firmware via Sp flashtool

2. Boot to stock firmware then turn off

3. Wipe data + cache via stock recovery by pressing up + power

4. Plug in data cable to pc then reboot to bootloader

5. Flash twrp : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

6. Flash rr images

7. Flash magisk

8. Reboot system
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
By flashing the stock firmware, I have locked my phone again. Did you made a "Firmware Upgrade" or a "Download only" flash?

And where do you flash the system.img? to the system partition? (obvious ...)

I still get bootloops...

Only thing I haven't made: wipe /data with stock recovery

Will try that now, flashing stock with download only right now.

The question before was becuase I needed to unlock by bootloader again after making a "firmware upgrade"

Download only seem to maintain the unlocked state.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
I chose download only. Full flash the stock rom doesn't locked bootloader.

I flash RR image via twrp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
this is strange ... I haven't got it working by using TWRP.

But by using these fastboot commands:

1. fastboot erase system

2. fastboot -u flash system name_of_system.img

Maybe the latest build of twrp is bad? (TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-x18-20180805)

Well anyway ...

It seem to work right now, I can setup android right now.

I have to install a alarm and go to bed, it is already getting bright outside again.

Thanks for your help anyway!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
Well done. Glad to hear that.:good:

I spent 3days to made it :D

BTW did you flash RR treble or other rom? Can it charge battery while turned off? I think RR missed some code to charge in such conditions. Be careful do not drain your battery completely, it may won't wake up anymore.

While turned on it can charge well but getting warm or hot.

So likely I will go back to the stock rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] houston_:
I am back to stock today too.

I had a call from my future employer ... But my phone wasn't ringing at any incoming call ...

Since I need to have this backup right now, I will go for the "stable" stock rom.

Still nice to see, there is a great piece of development going on here!

About the charging while phone is off:

I haven't tested it... But it should be kernel level, soo ... in my understanding, it should not matter what treble rom you are running, since it is only the system part that is changed.

I will try it for sure, once I change the rom again. :good:

Once I have my main phone running again, I will for sure try a few more things out with the x18+!

Even it is just a cheap phone, it has much potential because of the treble compatibility, if it is that easy to flash "any treble rom" on this device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Philippe Brunner:
Thanks

Many, many thanks, RR works, i will try aal. AOSP8.1 is busy ?

MY CUBOT

Excited to be posting for the first time. Picked up flashing and rooting only recently and love the vibrant community. Seems A only version works on my phone, but first install had bootloop on android screen, panicked until i saw i could flash stock through SP. Now its stuck on CUBOT Boot image. SO LOST. Will stick to stock rom but will try to fastboot flash before i give up finally. ITS 3AM. I will leave on stock till this is properly done but thank you for the effort!

edit: fastboot still put me in bootloop, but seems i wasnt flashing boot.img and system.img

I wish there was a video tutorial to install RR properly
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kene200:

Magisk

All is working till step 6. When I install magisk : bootloop !!!! Which Magisk version is good ??? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Muhammad.toufix:
Roms were downloaded from xda thread project treble / Gsi. You can find one and give a try flashing it. Choose gapps version if you want, many roms available with gapps included and rooted as well. But if you want to upgrade your gapps download open gapps.

Magisk also downloaded from xda thread. Use latest version.

Use magisk 16.7

Use phh-AOSP gaps+su version then you can flash magisk.

Roms from non-phh-aosp-developed won't work in cubot x18 plus
