[Microsoft Surface] Bambalacha:
Hi guys,

I've been browsing multiple forums and have tried multiple solutions to get Android running as a second OS next to Windows 10 but haven't been able to get a stable working touchscreen.

I see a few posts saying that Bliss has added drivers for the Microsoft Surface touchscreens. I've tried multiple installations containing the tag "surface-pro-4" and "sp4". My findings are that the touchscreen is indeed working after installation, however it stops working after a while. Sometimes a minute after I boot up without doing anything, sometimes during a game, it seems completely random.

I've also tried different versions of the Phoenix OX, which gives me exactly the same issues. I've been searching the interwebs and found more people with this issue. I also found some posts of people claiming they have been able to stabalize the touchscreen, however I haven't been able to get in contact with them.

I'm pretty new to Android when it comes to running the OS on an x86 machine, but I know my way around Linux. If there's anything that should be modified I'd like to hear your thoughts as well. I don't need a complete how-to, just some directions for what to look for and I'll figure it out.

When I look at the issue, my gut points me to power saving options. However the fact that the screen so randomly stops working is not really in line with this thought.

My question: Has anyone managed to get a stable version of Android running on the Surface Pro 4 with a working touchscreen? If so, could you let me know which image you used for installation? I don't really care about the Android version (it doesn't have to ben 8.1), as long as I can get it running stable (not too old of course).

I'd love to hear your experiences or thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance, if anyone needs more information, please let me know and I'll be happy to supply.

Should I get it working at some point, I'd be more than happy to write a full how-to and post it here on the forums.

Kind regards.

I have one dual booting Bliss and working well. You'll need a bleeding edge rom. I'm running Bliss-v10.1-Beta-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20180602-1820_k4.16.8-ipts-blissified-ath_18.1.0-devel_w14_sp4.iso. In fact, I'm posting this from my Surface Pro running Bliss.

[Microsoft Surface] trev10232077:
Did you install a different kernel or just the blissOS rom mentioned? Thx
[Microsoft Surface] daze62:
Running as is. A few caveats from 3 months use: 1. Battery usage is not monitored; 2. Seems to run the processor flat out, so battery life is not great and the tablet runs on the warm side; 3. Buttons don't work, so no external volume control and powering off takes a long button hold to force shut down; 4. You'll need the keyboard attached to select boot options.

The rom I'm using has been moved.

I've been looking at later builds, but they seem complicated to set up.
[Microsoft Surface] megamanuser:
For me, I'm using surface pro 2017 (which I think not really different from the sp4) running phoenix os. It works fine but without Bluetooth, warm on the back, sleep mode doesn't work and there's no battery percentage (it's always 100%)
[Microsoft Surface] gulams:
Try Prime OS (mainline) version on Surface Pro

I'm playing around with PrimeOS on SurfacePro1 in liveboot mode. Almost everything seems to be working well.

Pros

Bluetooth and wifi works

Hardware buttons work well.

Games like PubG run smoothly. Button mapping is baked into the ROM

Even the pen works with well. I've tried the skechbook Android app

*One note app says that it does not support Android app on Intel devices

Cons

Sleep mode does not work like it does on phones and tabs. It'll just turn the display black and it's probably still running. Screen bleeding is obvious which is a surfacePro1 issue.

Hiya community!

I just read here (https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-1-android-8-1-oreo/) the Z5 will get L15 support. Is that good news for the Z5compact or are these devices not very much alike!?

Anyway, very curious!

[Security Discussion] bencetari:
Hi everyone. I just want to make it clear.

Rooting isn't bad if you know what you are doing.

First of all, there are attack methods for android as well as for PC's.

Here's how to prevent them.

NON-ROOTED:

Make sure you clear cache and dalvik once every month (This is just for the sake of free storage).

If a third-party app you downloaded doesn't have a name in the package installer, don't install it. More likely delete even the apk.

Otherwise it will probably show random webpages by using default browser.

Download any kind of Anti-Virus like Avast, AVG, CM security etc...

Don't turn Play Protect off, if you don't have root, you probably don't have apps that can be recognised as a threat.

Don't download any file from anywhere with an unknown extension.

If your phone supports it without any issues, you can use Full Device Encryption in Security Settings this will put the Normal mode lock to recovery, and even the phone can't be booted unless you type the password in, also in recovery if the atacker deletes the entire system partition, your user data partition will still be encrypted so your data is safe.

ROOTED:

First of all, to protect yourself from network-based attack vectors, install AFWall+ (Free on Play Store).

It rquires root acces bc it's modifying the device's iptable rules to prevent specified apps or app kinds from reaching differenet sort of network, if you are paranoid you can even deny the entire system from reaching any sort of network.

Second install a root privileged anti-virus (I'm pretty sure such things exist).

Third use magisk rooting instead of SuperSU or phh's Superuser, magisk has 2 very usefull mods, one is Energized Protection what blocks malwares adware etc... and the second one is Unified Hosts Adblock (i prefer thsi a bit more cause it has a GUI where you can select what must be blocked).

Also magisk rooting method doesn't corrupts your device's fingerprint so it passes SafetyNET so you still can use Snapchat and Super Mario Run even with a rooted device.

Fourth you still can use Full Device Encryption (Remember if you forget your password or something doesn't working after the encryption like the fingerprint sensor you should consider going back to stock with nand erase to get the data partition Decrypted (Causes full internal sd content loss) otherwise factory reset won't do the job.)
[Security Discussion] syedfahad07:
Thanks for sharing information.

I agree with you that rooting is not bad when you know what you are doing but also you should know WHAT APPS ARE DOING.

As a Cyber Security Expert, there are alot of attacking tactics for android phone too as well as PC. These days there are lot of vulnerabilities networking and android system.

1. WPA2/PSK wireless technology is not safe as it is vulnerable to Blueborn attack

2. Newly found vulnerability in LTE networks, allowing three types of attacking methods.

3. The adware is most common in rooted phones and if it got administrator permisiions, it becomes evil.

4. MITM attack is always here

And there are lot of other methods using these days to hijack devices.
[Security Discussion] clonechill:
**rooted user**

What happens if I lose my phone and someone get's into the recovery and deletes the lockscreen security? How can I avoid that? Is running a custom ROM without a custom recovery safe, or is it even possible?
[Security Discussion] Jamie_Bowen:
I'd like to add:

• Using a trusted VPN

• Possibly changing your DNS settings to use a provider that supports DNS over HTTPS

What's important to emphasize is the "PHL" KDZ is also the exact same KDZ that will released for India. It's just India users can get it now. Even in "About Phone" it says 20B IND. Many people have proven that.

They just have to download and install it.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] adrianopolis:
When I receive calls, the calling number format it begins with 00, not with international +xx. This is a random issue. But when I receive calls with 00, my smartwatch doesn't read the caller id. On the phone I can see the caller id, but not on my watch

What can I do to solve this?View attachment 4544978
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
I think if your numbers are saved with the +XX format and you receive a call from the 00XX format, the watch won't detect it because it view's it as a different number. Try it with the number saved in 00XX format it see if the watch shows the correct contact details.

I guess that as far as the watch is concerned,+353851234567 is not equal to 00353851234567.

I would think that it could automatically convert but it seems not.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] adrianopolis:
But I think it's a problem with the software of this phone. Sometimes it shows the number with international format, but sometimes only with 00 in front of the number. I talk about the same caller with the same number. Sometimes with +40 and sometimes with 00

I am using the HTC Home plug in on the Today screen and I love the weather portion of it, but that's all I use. As such I've disabled all of the tabs except Weather. The only problem is this leaves about a 20 pixel high tab that takes up the whole width of the screen with the weather icon on it causing me to lose valuable screen real estate.

Does anyone know how I can remove the tabs, either by changing the vertical size of the whole plugin or just flat out removing the tab?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
You can do that with "Schaps Advanced Config" tool. There are cabs all over if u don't have it installed.

Thank you for a link to this cool program, but sadly it doesn't let me do what I'm looking for. It does let me undock the Homeplug from the top of the screen and move it to the bottom, but it becomes dynamic and then the scroll bar covers part of it up.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] trtlja:
How is your opinion about this ROM.

It is very good and customizable with a ton of options.

Only thing that is boring sometimes is lag when open apps. Waiting for 4-5 seconds to.open it.

Does someone know how to avoid that lag?

You can try to install the hate kernel, because their cpu scheduling is different, it may improve your experience.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cris2d2:
I haven't found an Oreo ROM for 4C that equals a Nougat ROM ( for example, AEX or RR) in terms of speed and lagness.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] dimipage:
same, but idk where ive read that it has to do something with firmware. ive checked some youtube videos and their devices work just fine. snappy and smooth even with oreo roms
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cris2d2:
Do you have those videos? I'm curious :) (pm me if you cant post them here).
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] trtlja:
Tried with 1.5b hate kernel...laggines is still present.

Cdroid maintener Vovan77 will not support this Rom anymore.

Now I am on RR and there is less lags but it is present.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cris2d2:
Thanks, man, I got your link :)

But messing in the Settings, menus and that kind of stuff on a fresh installation seems to me the same as in Nougat. On my phone, lag appears in crDroid O (and all the Oreo builds) when I'm switching and reloading apps, with many apps installed and many processes running in the background. In this situation (regular use, not setting up the phone) I feel Nougat is better than Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] trtlja:
True...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cris2d2:
Well, I'm not really complaining about Oreo, I know it was a hard work for its developers and builders and all the enthusiastic guys involved. The real accomplish was to be able to install and use Oreo for Mi 4C, almost bug-free. There are many alternatives to Oreo for Mi4C, even now, when devs are leaving its boat for other devices. MIUI 10 it's on its way, but LOS 14.1 is still developing - great work!

Personally, I'm using latest AEX Nougat and I'm happy.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] dimipage:
Every Oreo rom that ive tried lagged even in the UI, especially when switching the wifi, data etc... I didnt try HateKernel tho

Hi all.

I have an O2 XDA Atom Exec but I guess this is a general question and therefore not product specific.

On checking my emails with Outlook for Windows Mobile 5 from different providers that's what's happening:

- via WLAN I can connect to every email account with every provider I have

- via GPRS I can only connect to the email account I have with provider A but not with email accounts provided by provider B

This is the error message that pops up:

"Unable to connect to the incoming mail server. Verify that the server name is correct ... "

My account settings are correct. I am using the same user name, pop3 server etc. on my desktop pc. besides connecting my PDA via WLAN works fine with the same accounts.

Any ideas?

In this case what might cause the difference between WLAN and GPRS behavior?

Thanks a lot

P.S.: I am in Thailand using one of the major mobile providers called DTAC

Your ISP maybe using a hidden proxy or is blocking the ports needed to communicate with the other mail servers. Give them a call.
[Networking] sigitoke:
Provider Trouble

Check if your mail server block connection from your provider. They read your IP and decide what is your provider name.

If your mail provider have a network connectivity with or owned by other mobile provider, your connection using your provider will be blocked.

I have the same case from Indonesia, I use Indosat Mobile connection and try to connect to mail server (telkom.net), same company with Telkomsel (other mobile provider). When I ask their CS, they gave me solution above.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
Hi all,

I live in a country where it seems, or at least feels like, I am the only person who has a 3DS. Its got some great games but some use Streetpass for good benefits.

I read online that one could simulate Streetpass by having an Android Hot-spot named a certain way, but it also requires the hot-spot to have a MAC address within a certain range of numbers.

It seems that spoofing the mac was far easier on older versions of android. It does not work on my OP6. Does anyone know an effective way to do it on more up to date versions of android?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7671171:
I use this app but you need root.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
Thanks!

How did you set it up? To me, it seems that this app doesn't change the mac.

Edit: Actually it seems more that Nintendo might have discontinued their Streetpass Relay system.

I can't imagine it taking much to keep it online. Streetpass interactions are rather minimal, just a code of "a user exists" + a list of games. The 3ds can then check the associated profile via normal Internet for additional preferences. Most games that use it just power up the username after repeat "visits" and don't even interact with any profiles.

But for many people, the relay was the only way to get Streetpass. Disabling the relay really messes up people using things like Tamagochi 3ds, which was only released last year.

It's not really that big of a loss. My jRPGs will work fine regardless.

Or if the Root is removed after flashing Oreo, would it be easy enough to root the phone to accept Global Sim cards again? Thanks in advance.
