[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Hybrid Divide:
Hello!

I've had my V20 for ages, but I've been out of the XDA loop for a long time.

I'm still running the last version of MegaROM! My modem, etc are only slightly more recent than that.

What's the general consensus for the best ROM at the moment. The one caveat being that I need wifi calling. I'm in a semi-rural area, and wifi calling is often the only option when visiting friends who don't live right in town.

Have the bluetooth connection issues been ironed out in newer versions of the stock kernel?

Also, what's the state of rooting and bootloader unlocking for newer revisions of the h918? I remember for awhile there that newer versions of the h918 either couldn't be rooted or bootloader unlocked, I can't remember which. Did that ever get ironed out?

Thanks in advance. (Mods, please feel free to move this post if necessary.) :)

Got the update yesterday. Alarm Clock Extreme quit working (sounds and notifications, the app shows the alarm working and can be disabled, but unless you are looking at the app you wouldn't know). Installed Alarm Clock Plus, same thing. Google Clock works but the volume keeps going to ZERO. Do Not Disturb is not enabled.

Any ideas? This is a Verizon Pixel 2. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JohnKuczek:
I use "Sleep as Android" and have not had any issues.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] racerraj:
Thanks, John. I'll check that out now. Alarm Clock Extreme started working this morning, which is strange, it didn't have any recent updates.

Xda developers please try to solve this problem

Our devices are just a piece of metal now
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
Look to Xiaomi forums threads. http://en.miui.com/forum-153-1.html

XDA have no way of resolving bricked devices caused by xiaomi's bad implementation of the feature.

Even if some third party was able to find away to disable ARP completely on xiaomi devices,

who would take the risk with there devices to test it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGp626:
After recently rooting my phone i've noticed S-Health showing that it can not be run while the phone is rooted. So after a quick google check i've found out that i need to change build.prop, and so i did.

The app runs nice when the user opens it. But here is the Problem the app starts itself every couple of seconds and makes the phone unusable. The only way to use it (what i could came of) is just disabling the app completly but i've been using S-Health previously and would like to continiue to do so.

Here's the screen that pops up

Sorry for it beeing polish but it just says that you can't run s-health with root and gives error code : 0x22057C525hN2130

Thanks for the attention :D

Hi, I just went through all the steps for unlocking and flashing ROM on the Wizard wiki. I got all the way through just fine until it came time to find a wm6 ROM. Every one i download is in .rar format and will not unzip properly, i tried using winRAR and such, but my computer wont run them for installation. What do i do?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
what do you mean? are you using winrar to open the package and flash from inside the compressed archive??? you have to decompress it first. Rightclick; extract to "rom.rar" ; and a new folder should appear on your desktop. only then you can run the utility.

If your problem is the upgrade utility is telling you that you need a new versiion, then you are probably not completely unlocked. try "wizard service tool" to unlock.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] agedmonk:
could some one just post a step by step process on how to flash new ROM?

Because its just not working.

[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] Deathman20:
So my experience with the device has had its ups and downs. Truly I do love it, was looking for a good replacement of my Pebble Time which its at the end of its age basically but still functions great after almost 3 years. There is one issue I've come across and its dealing with the display and water leaking. So I've had 2 devices and both failed roughly 1-2 months of use. Right now on my second RMA of the device, 1st one actually got credit to get a new one.

Device one... was going good and started noticing streaks on the screen, green type. Eventually went to full out extreme brightness of the display and the unit got very very hot. Even charging would lead to insane temps coming from the unit for even a very short period of time. This one was contributed to water penetration into the device some how... I was able to RMA it and get a credit back. Figured it was just a fluke and got another device. Device 2 lasted a shorter period of time and failed in a different way but still dealing with the display. From white streaks across the display to full out white screen with odd brightness again. Again from what I can tell its dealing with water leaking issue... its in process now so we'll see.

Now that being said, if it was really water issue... the device is meant for the water! Swimming, Diving, Showers, etc. Its rated for that on the device (50m depth), which so happens to be similar to my Pebble Time which I've never had an issue with. Even staying that, first one I did swim with it and rinsed it off after, the second one if it got wet it was from washing my hands! Samsung's quality control screwed it up for the Fit2 Pro's?

Curious anyone else experience with this device?
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] Sebi673:
Same here. After 2 months of use , the HR monitor stopped working and it was discharging fast, the second day, after pool it became unresponsive and died.

The service unit replaced the pcb and the battery and sent it back. Worked fine for 2 days and it took water damage again. They repaired it again, came back, worked for one entire hour of swimming. Not mine got replaced but I just want my money back at this point.

That 5atm waterproofing is obviously BS
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] Deathman20:
Least mine isn't getting sent back. Totally called it, UN-repairable. Totally agree that the 50ATM is BS on the device.

Curious how the the new watch is going for the 50ATM as well.
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] Sebi673:
I'm reluctant in buying Samsung gear again. Although the The gear sport looks promising. I'll hang on to this one till I get my money back and wait for more wear os options to appear.

I'm pretty sure this one takes water through the small sensor holes or maybe on button presses while submerged.

Shame. It could've been a perfect all in one device.
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] Deathman20:
Correction mine did get sent back and now I'm talking to their support group. Not only was it not repaired because of "water damage" (no kidding) but they actually cracked the casing on my device on the bottom edge putting it back together or taking it apart. 5ATM (50 Meters), ha, more like can't last in the sink, rain might even do the device in.

I'd be really curious of their other devices, like mentioned the sport, or even the new Galaxy Watch which, has the same specs. Maybe not as small around the frame would help it out but I'd be really cautious. Yes I'd have to say that myself I'll be waiting to see other options and its sad I really do like the device and want to but this is just ridiculous.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrMagicPotato:
From common opinion, which is the best custom kernel for battery life?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
The likely consensus will probably be Flash kernel. However, Ex, Sultan, Snoke and Kirst are all very good as well. Hard to say until you try them :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lwps:
I second on flash kernel or ex
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I don't believe any of the kernels provide much of a boost in battery life. Android has that down pretty well and there isn't much room for improvement. Now lots of good features add....they still do that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
They are all good on battery...try some and decide for yourself based on your set up and usage.

[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Wirmpolter:
Did you extract the image first like instructed or did you try to flash it how it was?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] xlagjn:
yes, I did as the instructed . There is no problem when I flash the stock system or the other treble roms.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Wirmpolter:
So you extracted the system.img file from the download ? What exactly did you type when you tried to fastboot flash it?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] xlagjn:
yes, I extracted the system.img.

I used stocked recovery and magisk, so

fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img

fastboot flash system system.img
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Wirmpolter:
Well you wouldn't be using magisk for anything at this point......maybe corruption in your download.....can you try downloading it again?

I've try to download it twice, but the same.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Wirmpolter:
Okay.....makes no sense.....if you've downloaded it, extracted the system.img file out of the .xz file. Not just renaming the file. What size does it say the system.img is?

I even go back to the stock emui before flash the rom, but the same result.

now I want to extract it in my linux
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Wirmpolter:
You shouldn't be having to extract it twice....should only need to extract it to system.img. Something tells me something is not working doing it that way. In windows 7, can't you right click in and click on extract files here?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] v0ne:
Maybe cause by wrong partition size set while installing the rom. Maybe you need to adjust. What device you used mate? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YayJohn:
I followed the instructions on this page and I got into a bootloop, so I flashed the stock android and it got me out of the bootloop, but i dont want to be on stock i want to be on RR so how can i not get bootlooped after flashing it? apperently im not the only one with this problem but nobody managed to fix it other than flashing the stock rom so I hope maybe somebody here can help me, btw i also flashed gapps after i flashed RR
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Omineca:
I had that problem too when flashing the non-treble version. I'm not sure if this was your issue, but I had to boot back into TWRP and change slots in the reboot menu. Then it booted. So next time, you might give that a shot.

There is a step missing in the instructions too. There is no instruction on when to flash the gapps. Flashing them *after* Magisk worked for me.

If audio quality matters to you, I haven't found a custom ROM that sounds as good as stock, so I'm back on the stock ROM, even though I really liked RR.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YayJohn:
i already fixed it and it was the way u fixed it

Development for the moto x play is over?
[X Play General] jaibar:
Just don't hold your breath. People move on to newer and more exciting devices, mxp was never as popular as some phones that were sold by the millions and still have a vast active community (e.g. nexus 5).

So, with some patience maybe once in a while a rom is throwed in- don't expect much in terms of anyone spending too much time supporting or fixing bugs, though.

It is what it is.
[X Play General] squid2:
It's not stopped, it was merely paused. After my father got sick, I had neither the time nor mood to work on Android. Once he passed away, the same continued for a while. However, I'm getting back into it now, so you'll see some fixes to LineageOS 14.1 coming soon, followed by Oreo builds from me in the next month or so.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] djrabbie303:
Hello All,

I'm needing some tech expertise. Long story short, my sister suddenly passed away and she had a few month old S9+. It's currently locked with Sprint, but I thought about using it to play with. I attempted a reset of the phone so that none of her info would be accessible. When it boots up, it asks for the google account the phone was tied with, which I have no access to. Is there a way to get around this or should I plan on tossing the phone in the trash?

I've been an iOS person, so I have no idea about Android, but I'm fairly tech savvy so rooting or anything like that I would feel comfortable with. I'm open to options or suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] UsualSuspectReaL:
Contact samsung or google and tell them the story and give them proofs. They will help you for sure if you are telling the truth.

Thanks for the info. I will contact google tomorrow and see what I can do.

And I wish it wasn’t true, that would mean my sister is still here. I have her death certificate so if google or Samsung needs it, that can be provided. Thanks for the help and the kind words.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] UbuntuMuntu:
Running stock(ish) OS on S8+

Got my setup "just so", and needed to change my DPI in Developer Options from default 411 to 514 (=411*1.25) to make use of larger screen real-estate I paid a premium for.

Option to resize the Home & App grids have disappeared, so even though app fonts & icon sizes are closer to what I desire, widgets on home screens look bad - scaled proportionately but padded to take up 125% space

Keeping the DPI & font sizes as-is, is there a way to tweak the grid sizes?

So tomorrow I`ll get my OP6 and my question to the XDA Community is what are the first things I have to do when receiving my phone?

mostly of the time I`ll just unlock bootloader and install magisk and a few tweaks, but are there some other things I can do, maybe some necessary magisk tweaks.

let me know below.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Blunts47:
Unlock bootloader.

Install twrp

Magisk for root

Adaway.

GravityBox [O]

YouTube Vanced

This Magisk Tweaks are called xXxNoLimits module, that you could flash through Magisk after unlocked the bootloader and flash TWRP.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
You don't have to do any of that bull**** above.

Just put the included case on the phone because it is very slippery, and the included screen protector is already on. Until you get your preferred case, and/or another screen protector.

I ordered a Rhinoshield bumper to accentuate the gorgeous pearl white back of this phone without the risk of scratching.

Life is short, brother. Enjoy it!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
1.put sim in

2.slap on the included case

3. Boot that beast

4.start using it.

5.after some time (days/weeks) think about if you need to unlock it.. Are there any features you are missing? Are they available by root? If u can live with flashing and stuff then go for it. If not,keep stock.

I want root because viper sound.. So much better sound with a proper setup. While I'm already rooted I might aswell gryt YouTube vanced and adaway + some other small mods.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] normaaldax:
The reason why I unlock the bootloader and root is so I don't have to do it in the future, it's just easier then backup Al data

hallo friend, i ve a big problem on my p3300, i have downloaded program much important for my job as FIELD TEST, but on artemis does not works.

so i have read on web more more pages and i understand that the problem is a dll that in p3300 /windows there isnt: rilgsm.dll.

without this dll some port are closed on my htc i suppose com 9 and 6 (network ) so field test doesnt work propely!

can someone explane me how i can solve this problem or i can extract or add this dll.

i have actually italian wm6 official on my p3300 , but i can install also a unofficial rom with rilgsm.dll.

i wait for help as soon as possible

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
rilgsm.dll is in the Artemis Touch 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM - Lite without cube ROM as well as the other versions (full, vanilla, etc) I suppose.

But, I'm not sure that is the complete answer to your problem. I was trying to run a program which ran fine on my previous PPC using com6 but would not run on my Artemis using com4 (needed to run TomTom). Today, I found a solution here that works. It's called portsplitter. I installed it today and sucessfully used TomTom (requires com4) and the other program (requires com6) as well on the newly created com8! (see the link above to makes sense of that). Maybe what you need?

Here's another link in the Artemis forum discussing this issue.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nibis:
thanks for answer, maybe can you explane how i can set ports?

i need only field test works , it is only excutable file, no need installation, there isnt configuration to do , is very simple, maybe i can send to ou the file to test.

i wait for help thanks again
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nibis:
pls help me
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
I don't know how to copy just the rilgsm.dll file you want. It's part of the rom and so access is denied on both the phone and via activesync.

Also, I don't know how to set ports. Did you try the portsplitter application I linked to above? I am using an application on my phone right now that uses port 6 thanks to the portsplitter application. Try it!

Upload your application here or post a link, and I'll see if I can give it a try.
