[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] edall:
Hi guys, I have a restricted budget (around 150 EUR) and just want good battery life and good value for money, not gaming at all, a decent camera.

Where I live I can buy a brand new Xiaomi Mi A1 for less than 150€, I was wondering if I should go for it (custom rom, google cam ecc) or just wait for the Mi A2 Lite to drop the price a little (more compact design, newer)? What's your opinion?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] marko.dnb:
Go for Mi A2 Lite, it is newer, better looking, has better battery capacity, bigger screen and will be supported officially longer than Mi A1 obviously :)

There are cons too but it's nothing to complain about.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] barrack1:
The MiA2 lite is shorter and not as wide but it is thicker and still has the 625 cpu. You might want to consider the RN5 AI as well.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
If you want a better battery go for a2 lite, if you want a better camera (dual 12 Mpixel, optical zoom) go for mi a1.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] JakobSWE:
I'm doubting A1 has better camera. Mi A1's camera really is quite bad. I'd go with Redmi note 5 or Mi A2 lite every day. A1 is'nt worth it with it's noisy sound, network instability and mediocre camera.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
You can find all of this on Mi A2 (from some feedbacks on MIUI Forum)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] zizizandlyan:
mi a2 lite so bulky and weird. btw mi a2 lite rear camera has 12+5mp which is not better than mi a1 (12+12) in quality, but in stability mi a2 lite is better because has gyro-EIS which makes video quality better. if u have more budget just pick mi a2/redmi note 5 pro
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TrueMS:
Noisy sound is not in my case. Guess it was somehow fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] JakobSWE:
They've Kinda fixed it by decreasing the gain. But it's still there and by doing that fix they've decreased the punch in bigger headphones

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Gagan Bhat:
Hi!

I have an LG G6 H873 model. I wanted to flash the new oreo kdz that I have downloaded and stored. But looks like whenever I try to open LGUP software, I get error stating "LGUP can't load the model[C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com"

http://prntscr.com/kg8txh

Anyone know how to fix this? There was no "com" folder when I installed LGUP.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Leo Neo:
1. google your model and driver, then you can get driver downloaded. Install the driver of your model

2. If necessary, install "UPPERCUT", then your LGUP would be able to detect G6

Thanks to [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] for turning me onto binwalk. I was parsing that crap by hand -- LMAO. Seriously dude, that is a real time saver. Wrote me a little shell script wrapper for binwalk and openssl, and now: aextract.sh [name of RSA signed image].

They finally shipped my US996 and it will be here on Tues. the 14th (or earlier). However, I am going to post a flashable zip of this that should work on H910s as well.

If you guys want to wait till I am able to test it myself, I understand ;)

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkknight200:
thanks for checking the kdz.

i could test this on my h915 phone too on a weekend. But this phone is my only v20 and daily driver.

update* actually I can flash whatever zip you can make for the h915 by tonight. My h915 is currently dirty santaed and is using us996twrp on current us99610p rom with us996 mk2000 kernel
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] steadfasterX:
well tbh a strings plus egrep is what I use in SALT ... ;)

Cheers
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
I was using something sorta similar, strings + grep + cut, but yours is much more elegant.

I like the binwalk + openssl way because I like parsing all the OUs.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dudeawsome:
so what are you going to push inside the flashable only system or like the stock h918 builds where you push all the partitions
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
this works on h910
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkknight200:
you got it to work on your h910 with dirty santa root or you flashed whole kdz with lgup so it won't have root?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
i used patched lgup to selectively flash everything but aboot and recovery

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

then flashed magisk
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkknight200:
so you are fully booted on oreo h915 with magisk working and everything else running like normal?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dudeawsome:
what boot file did you use. Does you signal and wifi and all work?

so [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] it is as ez just flashing everything but aboot and recovery.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
yes, lte automatically connected, and wifi works, everything works, no bugs seen yet, also im making a flashable zip for twrp, so i need someone with a spare h910

I have h915 with dirtysanta so if you make zip i can maybe test too.

So i dont know does this kdz compatible with vs995 but imma lgup it see what it do what you guy thnks?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkknight200:
are you gonna lgup and select all partition but aboot and recovery?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestD0136:
Yep that what imma do just like u mention above...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
Man this means we little H910PR peasants can have rooted Oreo out of the box by skipping aboot and recovery partitions? DX

Edit: could u confirm that screen ghosting is fixed or not?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkknight200:
no the screen ghosting isn't fixed on oreo.

Stil would need custom oreo kernel with kcal to combat screen ghosting.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
Thank you! I'll rather wait until kcal supported kernel. LG had one job to do for v20 and yet they failed again... Served them the deficit right

Hello guys.

I am in doubt for buy between Mi Note 3 and Redmi Note 5. The second option is more cheap, but not have USB-C and NFC. Mi Note 3 have USB-C and NFC, however the global MIUI 10 with Android 8.1 it's gonna take a while for launched.

Which one do you think I should choose?

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icarusu:
I've been looking for it as i want my phone to have that Share-SD Card function so i can install heavy 2GB+ apps, but the problem is also i need one that's not detectable or rooted, to escape from the main app i use which detects such things or else it doesn't work, back then i had a old phone with a custom CygnogemROM it could detect it no matter what i did to hide it...

Just a question, really.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsiri:
I don't think there's a way of hiding custom rom. It is needed for apps to work and is probably hardcoded, impossible to hide.

For root, have you tried rootcloak? You need Xposed for it

and there are many marshmallow custom roms around. What exactly are you saying?

yea it is enabled, there is "LTE" shown in the status bar, too. switched to 3g mode, same thing with H.

But wifi doesnt work either after some time, has an x shown besides the icon then. how about that? :)

no problems with 8.1 before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Have you tried resetting your APN's?

Did you fastboot, side load, or OTA to 9.0?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
Idk what caused the problem, but go to Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > Reset WiFi, mobile & BT.

If no improvement, then get a new SIM card.

If still no improvement, then flash the factory image and don't make any system changes like installing a custom recovery/kernel. Make sure data is back to normal before doing any mods. Good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xflowy:
i think i got it.

after flashing the magisk uninstaller zip, everything works.

so its either just root, or (and that i previousl missed) the adguard module (with root proxy mode).

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wcouri:
I think it's best that people run this without magisk until they sort out the bugs. Seems to be working fine for me after going straight stock without twrp or magisk. Had major problems before when I was rooted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
Right after Android 9.0 was released, I flashed the factory image without "-w" in flash-all.bat, installed TWRP and used Magisk 16.7 to root. Weird stuff started happening: the camera app force closed once, and I couldn't multitask back into Google Keep because the system thought Keep was not available (even though I could open it from the app drawer and it worked fine). So I started from ground zero and reflashed the factory image without editing flash-all.bat, I did *not* flash TWRP or Magisk, and everything worked as it should and no FCs. Today, I flashed TWRP and Magisk 16.7, and everything is still working properly. I am also using Adguard in standard mode (not root proxy), and it has been working flawlessly, and no mobile data or WiFi hiccups so far.

I have been flashing for years, and I am convinced that some stuff doesn't get completely wiped even when you flash a factory image. But usually another clean flash resolves any issues.

Hello,

I have an E6912 (MD99851) Lifetab and would like to root it.

As far as I searched the Internet it seems to be very unpopular and didn't find a custom recovery or another root solution. Only custom recovery I could find was for older Lifetab models.

If possible I would prefer a custom recovery or any solution that allows me to use Magisk. However I'm not that picky and would take every possible way.

You wont get wifi calling or VOlte without root likely.

Samung pay wont work, google pay should work. If you root neither will likely work depending on how magisk plays nice or not.

If you root you trip knox (because you need twrp to root) and lose it and all its functionality. S health has also been broken by root in the past

Something is inherently wrong with Samsung's customer service practices. I would say they're too big to succeed if that were a thing but the fact of the matter is they simply don't care. As long as they're number one they won't bother to actually have a long hard look at the way they do business.

Things are about to change though. The way things are going Huawei will have the top spot by Q2 2019. Maybe then, they will see the error of their ways. Who knows.
