[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krugerbud:
Hello there,

A few months ago while my uncle was visiting me in Sydney I helped flash/format and rebuild a custom ROM for his Galaxy Note 4. Unfortunately, the phone is now stuck in bootloop for some reason (unable to load) and my uncle is not a techie.

He has taken it to many phone shops in Malaysia and Singapore (both Samsung and 3rd party shops) only to be told "cannot la boss" or "change phone" or "I need you to leave phone, and will charge you $100 to investigate first" .

Frustrating , because I know this is simple and do-able , just require a new complete ROM flash through bootloader/using adb sideload as I did not create a backup of the recovery for him to restore and also a root.

He is unfortunately not a 'techie' and is not familiar/hands on enough with these advanced methods - he is a 50 year old person.

Looking for some help , or someone that can help (I am sure there are some local Singaporeans whom have the knowledge to do this), recommendations welcome! Happy to pay for your kind service! Just need to find someone whom knows what they are doing.

Thank you guys and gals!

I'm kind of sick of using HTCH w/Customizer. Anyone have any better options? I've got about 93 different cabs sitting in a folder on my desktop and I am unsure which route to go. Which programs do you feel are essential for customization? I do require a nice looking digital clock but haven't found a great one other than HTCHOME

Here is what I have for customization other than HTCHOME:

SPB

Phonesuite

PocketPlus

Time

MobileShell

Full Screen Keyboard

S2U2 (which I like a lot cause it gives me the option to display a nice looking clock and .gif images while the phone is locked)

rL: Not to familiar with getting a great lookin, while user friendly interface, theme onto my phone.

Any suggestions or screenshots would be great. I viewed the show your today thread, which I got most of these programs from. However, I think many of them looked better with HTCHOME.

Maybe my question should be, is there a way to get rid of the 5 launch tools (today, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, sounds, and music player) and cut it down to three?

This should be the idiot of the week thread considering i never bothered to hit the download button on the customizer menu durr
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] itcrackerjack:
It sounds like you need HTC Home Customizer. You can find it here ;).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
lol gee thanks but i think i established that in the first sentence of the posts. Thank you for your assistance though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] itcrackerjack:
WOW :eek:. I feel stupid. Me thinks I shouldn't respond to posts this late at night.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
lol, its cool. i guess all i really want is to only have three or four tabs with different icons but i cant find where to replace the icons on my phone. i feel stupid too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
Ok I feel like a fool now. I never realized what would happen when i clicked download under the settings. HAHAHA I GOT THE REDSox on my phone now. Sick thanks emu. Sorry for my ignorance.

u can maybe try rltoday
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Alex_:
Don't forget PointUI, Throttle Launcher, the LG Prada Interface and SPB MobileShell as your today screen.

I thought I was pretty good at googling, but I cannot find a way to use my MacBook keyboard to enter text on my firestick. Maybe controlling the pointer with my trackpad is asking too much, but using my Macbook keyboard would be great. Yes, I already have a Bluetooth keyboard I can use with the firestick, but I always have my MacBook on my lap, and it's a PITA to balance two keyboards on my lap.

What I need:

– No rooting

– Works with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I can't believe that there isn't a web app or APK that lets me do it simply, because there is for my Roku.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoonsunee:
Hi,

*

New here and have been reading a LOT on how to root the VZW S5 G900V. It's been a pain but learning process. I was finally able to root the phone (i have the* eMMC CID15). I'd like to use this phone to play PoGo but unfortunately I am stuck..

*

So I was able to finally find a page that helped me root the phone -

*

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529

*

This was pretty straight forward and I was able to successfully root. I check the Rootchecker Basic and voila it says I am successfully rooted. However, it seems to spoof for PoGo, I need to follow additional steps...* I tried to follow this -

*

www.reddit.com/r/pokemongospoofing/comments/6um77n/general_pokemon_go_spoofing_tutorial_for_all/

*

I've followed it but have run into a problem where I cannot pass the SafetyNet test.. On Magisk Manager when I check SafteyNet, I get "The response is invalid". I've looked up various forums and read a lot and the only answers are 1. check you have Internet access (which I do) 2. verify that Google Play Services is updated (which it is) 3. reboot the phone (I have multiple times). I still get the same "The response is invalid". I've tried to also download some modules on Magisk Maanager but it doesn't seem to help. It seems also because SafetyNet is failing, I can't even launch PoGo normally without spoofing.

*

Any ideas on how I can fix this? I don't mind wiping the phone and going to a lower version of Android.. I'd just really like to successfully root my phone (which has been a fun, learning experience) and spoof to play PoGo. If there is another way and I should start over, please advise or direct me to what guide I should go to or if someone could provide some other steps that would be great.

Thanks

Hello there, I'm trying to root Runbo M1, but with no success.

Runbo M1:

MT6735

Android 6.0

Kernel 3.18.19

I've tried:

Kingroot apk and PC, Kingoroot PC, Framaroot, Towelroot.

Flashing custom recovery is not possible because bootloader is locked. Unlocking si not possible because volume knob is not working in bootloader and in recovery too.

Is there any other way how to root?

For the resources, there is no full SPFT flashable ROM available by this time. Only some fota update .zip archives. And I managed to create a scatter file.

I've managed to get SPFT flashable stock ROM. Feel free to download it for your Runbo M1. It's compatible with any Custom build version K109_DT600_RunboM1-EN_M0_xxx

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3a9xvkbrmf8y4d7/K109_DT600_RunboM1-EN_M0_20180507_V12.9.zip?dl=0

Hi, this is CarbonoidOS by CarbonROM.

These are pre-release builds that are meant for public testing. It is released under the CarbonoidOS name to differentiate itself from official CarbonROM builds. Please read up as much as you can before posting any questions in this thread.

For those that follow us, you know that we have been grinding since the hour the first few Android Pie repositories dropped. The Core-Team, ROM, and device developers have been collectively working on getting private builds up to our release standards, which we are still far from. I have been specifically working on feature bring up, a link to my progress will be somewhere below. Although I have been running these builds as my daily driver, I do not recommend these builds to the average user. Flash at your own risk, but try to have fun.

Disclaimer:

These builds are considered personal and are not sanctioned by CarbonROM. They include Google Apps and have not been tested with any other packages, aside from the TWRP installer. There will be bugs. The point of these builds is not to solve device side bugs, but to give a sneak peek of what the features of cr-7.0 will be. These builds are different from the unofficial builds that will be posted later. You will not be able to transition to those builds from these without clean flashing.

When posting bug reports, do:

Provide details of additional modifications

Provide any logs possible

But don't:

Leave any of the above out

Post without reading the whole OP

Quote the whole OP

Expect me to address any bug reports

Tag me in bug reports thinking I'll address them

If you don't follow these simple guidelines I will probably ignore you.

Known bugs (not working):

None that I know of

Downloads:

Latest build

Source:

GitHub

If you need install instructions, you probably shouldn't be trying to flash this...

Thanks G!!!!

The only issue I had was some pretty consistent crashing of ambient display... however if I let the phone reboot and waited for the system to time out/screen off (at Boot by itself) and then powered up/unlocked it would work without incident.

Everything.. Bluetooth-GPS-Calls-Data-NFC works. Very smooth and I can't wait to see the finished product. I try not to post too much, but really I need to say Thank You.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
I have decided to continue posting my development builds here. They will be under a different name, CarbonoidOS, to differentiate the fully stable CarbonROM builds from my experimental builds.

Just a disclaimer, I often rebase. Backup often and be careful when dirty flashing, there is always a risk of having corrupted builds due to conflicted values. Don't mean to scare you, but that's just how it goes when it comes to feature development.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Semi-experimental build will get posted today; if I can get it to build. I've included our custom built libraries that have been confirmed to boost performance through benchmarks that are only included in officially released Carbon builds (actual speed benchmarks, miss us with that Antutu ish). Because of this, the generated system image is too large, so I'm in the process of cutting it down by removing packages. Things removed include Google apps like Drive, Gmail, Project Fi. I also do not include Quarks or Vanilla Music.

It will also be missing two features that are in the last posted build: vibrate on charge, battery icon customizations. To prevent crashes when dirty flashing, set the battery icon back to portrait or hidden, and battery percentage to either hidden or beside. Hopefully I can get this going so that I can go back to studying for my exams. Progress will speed up after my last midterm, which is on Thursday.

Edit: build continues to fail, it's not a size issue, something else that we haven't figured out...

I kind of broke my machine trying to get this update out because the optimized libs baited me to do certain things the OS doesn't like. The things I do for Carbon...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MichaelDrakeMS:
I do t know what is it but everytime I flash the new build I get bootloops or it keeps booting into twrp recovery and all the files have weird file names with random letters and numbers.

So here the steps I do:

Flash latest images on both slots.

Boot into twrp.

Flash latest build and flash twrp.zip

Reboot.

The ROM boots up then bootloops a couple times then back into twrp.

Look at all the files and they all look like folders with random numbers and letters.

Any ideas???

I'll try again and try to take pictures.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
I think atleast that if the files have weird names and numbers means that it's encrypted and you didn't de encrypt when you entered recovery again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MichaelDrakeMS:
Okay thanks. Would you know anyway to fix that? What were your steps to get the ROM to flash successfully?

Cause I've tried this like 5 or 6 times and it always happens and I can't seem to fix it or have a successful flash and boot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
I actually haven't flashed the beta yet, I'm still on carbon 8.1.

But what I would try is to flash the factory image with the flash all script from deuces. And then flash twrp with fastboot, move files over to the phone and flash from scratch....

Of course back up everything before...

But again, I haven't flashed the beta yet. I'm so happy with 8.1!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Let's get this bread.

Using our optimized libs, no more battery icon settings for now, simplified a lot of settings, lots of code clean up.

Getting around 6 hours of screen on time. Not like the stat really matters, that's just 6 hours of me not studying for my exams. Maybe I'll make battery life worse so I'll be studying more and on my phone less.

For anyone considering flashing this ROM over any other ROM that is available, I would super duper recommend this ROM.

Over all the ROM feels fast. I haven't had any random reboots like with other ROMs ... Battery life is stupid good, although I am using this with the kirisakura kernel with the new swap compression zswap mode enabled....

It keeps more in memory with this new compression format ..
