[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] PsiPhiDan:
Just got mine this week, finally. I planned on selling them, but to be honest... They're pretty great and I will not be selling! Really comfortable, and for only my second pair of BT audio equipment... I'm really impressed! I have some BT earbuds for running and working out (IconX 2018) and these are WAY better (no surprise, given their larger size). Haven't had any signal issues, comfort issues, or qualms about the sound quality. I would agree that they're probably worth around $150-$200, but since I paid $0 and could really only sell for maybe $75, I'm more than happy to keep them! ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mario24601:
Might be a noob question but firmwares from sam mobile that are identified as Tmobile, such as one for G930F Netherlands (T-Mobile), do they include bloatware from tmobile? I have an international G930F but want to try a firmware from another county to see if it fixes a text message issue I have from time to time. When I bought phone I think it had a Spanish firmware, right now it has a UK firmware, want to try a Netherlands or Germany T-Mobile but I dont want all that bloatware that T-mobile usual has on USA phones.

Thanks.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayonecma:
Hello guys!

I recently purchased the Zenfone 2 Laser 6 ", and I would like to know which rom custom and which TWRP I can install

Can I use the same roms and TWRP as the Z00T?(Sorry for my bad English)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themineraria:
yup if it's the ze601kl

Hi, if your phone is the ze601kl then yes you can but on this device, you will sometimes need a patch for the sound to work depending on which rom you're installing.

Hope this helps. ;)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ad.Shk2:
I've recently noticed this trying to apply substratum themes since i updated to Android Pie. None of the overlays compiles or applies. No overlays in manager either. Most times compiling does not even give any errors. I've tried most themes that claim Android 9.0 support.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
What version of substratum are you using? And, what themes have you tried?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ad.Shk2:
Substratum 1001.

Tried pitch black, mono/art, flux, Swift dark.

When i complete the there it creates a .Substratum folder on my storage. But when i reboot, it's gone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Ah. Yeah version 1001 doesn't work on the P2XL. Uninstall the one you have, reboot, then use the one in the link. Also, when you build your overlays, select "build and update" then reboot, then enable them in substratum manager. Pitch Black works great. Be careful with the others especially when themeing system and system UI, they can shut your UI down. Pitch Black works on everything though :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] noahthedominator:
Same here as well.

Android 9 rooted

Flash kernel.

Substratum v1001

Multiple themes don't work. They appear to apply but the apps are not themed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Officechris:
Working for me, Pie, Magisk v17.1, Flash Kernel, using Substratum v998. Are you doing Build and Enable, then rebooting, then toggling the overlay state? I'm using Ethereal for System (Pie support) and Swift Dark for some apps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ad.Shk2:
I've tried v998 but it keeps crashing
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Have you tried clearing app cache/data a couple times? As well as uninstall/reinstall?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xDakos:
Use 998 and dont patch the substratum app when you install the themes
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1001 working correctly here, on top of it being themed. 998 worked correctly here even when themed, so substratum itself likely isn't the issue. What theme are you using?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xDakos:
yeah im using 1001 fine aswell but 998 worked with a restart and 1001 doesnt even need a restart anymore. Try PitchBlack
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pvtjoker42:
Just updated from 998 to 1001, so far everything working as expected.. lets hope it stays that way!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] shyler.casavant:
Team,

I'd like to flash my Sprint Galaxy S8 with a Vanilla, open source version of android to play with.

Here's what I've done so far -

1. Got my hands on an i7, 32GB Ubuntu Build Box.

2. Got Heimdall FrontEnd.

3. Downloaded SM-G950U* zips from --> opensource.samsung.com/

Questions -

1. What's the difference between the NA_OO & NA_NN packages?

2. Once I get the Samsung files downloaded - do I need to bring all of the Android Open Source Code down?

3. Do I need anything else after I download the SamsungOpenSource.zips?

4. How do I ultimately flash my phone with the SamsungOpenSource.zips?

5. What are the steps to build and flash SamsungOpenSource that I can build a clean, nice rom from.

Sorry - SUPER new - looking to get my foot in the door here and get Android Coding!

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] BlueDragonHans:
Hi guys

I have been trying since yesterday why I can't lock the bootloader of my cellphone, I have the model XT1800 and every time that I paste the code on the adb window I get the next line when I apply the most of the commands:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'system' (82497 KB)...
OKAY [ 3.231s]
writing 'system'...
(bootloader) Invalid signed image
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)

Idk why that happens, I'm using the next lines in that order to block the bootloader

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Metal-Zone:
Hi bro!

It seems your phone version is not compatible with the firmware you're trying to use. I have the XT1801 also, so you have to look for the right firmware which is the one ending in 45-5. Look for it on https://firmware.center/

Cheers! ;)
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Those errors you're getting suggest you're attempting to lock with a different firmware than the stock firmware previously on your device. Your bootloader and system must match (especially if you've got a carrier variant).

I'm not sure what firmware is stock for the XT1800 (i know that 61 series firmwares are for India/Indonesia, whereas 64 series is for Brazil).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] roottube:
Hoping someone can provide fix. Gapps unresponsive/crashing immediately after auto-update. Standard solutions are a no go(wipe cache/data, dalvik, degrenify, reboot). Have tried everything short of a clean install of system/gapps. No previous issues or crashing. Haven't posted here so my apologies if data is lacking. Let me know what you need. I am running RR 8.1 v6.0.0. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue surface recently.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
I'm assuming you don't want to clean install because you have files you want on the device ? If so just boot into TWRP recovery and plug the phone in to PC, pull the files off and clean install.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] roottube:
I am abroad without computer and slow wifi, so was just hoping to avoid clean install as it will be a hassle. Could the fact that I am abroad be a contributing factor? I would guess no, but perhaps you are more knowledgeable. Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall gapps without issue? Have done that in the past and it seems the only way to install gapps is immediately after clean installation, without reboot. Thank you for your response

I'm not sure what would happen of you reinstall gapps, I haven't ever tried without wiping first. Anyone else know ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories] fchrkbr:
I used to have a phone that have curved glass around the edge (not like s7 edge, you probably know what I'm talking about) and almost every transparent tempered glass lift up around the edges, which is annoying.

I'm not really sure about Mi A2 if it gonna have the same issue, so I need to hear from you guys that already have tempered glass on! I don't really like the colored one either actually lol I won't buy it unless the transparent one will lift.

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories] herecomedatboi:
I always bought the transparent ones that don't cover 100% of the screen for my Mi A1, so I bought a similar one this time too. I also had some colored ones but they weren't compatible with most of my cases and I find the transparent ones to look neater anyway. When buying a transparent one make sure to look to the customer reviews to know whether it's the same size as a coloured one (which will show an air gap around the edge) or one that is smaller but doesn't have an air gap.

[Android Head-Units] saucemstr:
i'm new to the forum but have been lurking and reading up for quite a while on these android head units.

I need to replace the head unit in my 2009 Subaru Forester. I kind of a gadget freak, so these android units caught my eye. I was interested in the DSP units from androidautoshop.com but they warned me away from them and recommended their FX8 units (though they didn't really say why except that they were better quality).

The option I was looking at before the DSP unit was a new XTRONS unit which I could get from amazon. They seem to be well regarded from what I've read and the sound quality sounds like it's pretty good with the new amp chips they are using. Now just the other day I ran across a Dasaita unit on amazon that is specific fit for my vehicle so it wouldn't need an installation kit and BONUS has a 9" screen!

Does anyone have any insight on these units? If I go with an android unit it's going to be to satisfy my tech geek so I'm going to want to be able to customize it.

I need it to have good sound. Doesn't have to be audiophile quality, but good.

Decent to good FM reception.

good connection for Bluetooth (i've heard in particular that some of these units have both connection and sound quality issues with bluetooth)

ability to connect to an ODBII sensor for my car. One that I choose, not dictated to me by the head unit company prefereably.

ability to connect to an aftermarket rear view camera.

able to use Waze and Google maps. preferably with audible directions. also offline mapping for those occasions when I don't have a cell connection.

Ideally I would be connecting these direct to speakers, with the possiblity of adding external amplification down the road.

AndroidAutoShop.com FX8 - I have concerns about them and they don't really say much about why this unit is the best.

XTRONS - seems to be popular from what i've read, though i'm not sure about the bluetooth

Dasaita - love the look of the 9" screen with no ugly install kit. Quite a bit more expensive but possibly worth it? I just can't find much info about these. I think I read somewhere on this site that they were pretty good, but I don't know where and it wasn't about this specific unit.

I'm not allowed to post links to the 3 units above yet, but the first one is on androidautoshop and the last 2 are readily available on Amazon.

Are any of these a good choice for me? or possibly a different recommendation? or should I just forget it and go with a higher end Kenwood or Pioneer head unit with Android Auto and use an HDMI for any video needs? I'm not against tinkering and these seem like a really cool option (possibly saving money over traditional head untis as well) but I don't want to get a giant headache that just never works right.

any help from you guys is greatly appreciated.

Introduction

Hi to all dear Z2 users. This is my first TWRP build, I used omni minimal TWRP source and kernel from Sony git.

I hope you enjoy this.

How to install

Fist of all you MUST flash lastest 23.5.A.1.291 firmware with FlashTool at least one time, for upgrade the bootloader (You need this upgrade for boot on recovery).

Via fastboot

Reboot your phone on fastboot mode.

Flash recovery using this command:

fastboot flash FOTAKernel <filename>

Via zip (You need a working recovery installed)

Download the zip and put it on your internal or external memory.

Reboot to recovery.

Flash the zip.

Via Official TWRP App (You need root)

Install the app from Google Play Store and download the zip.

Extract recovery.img and copy it to your internal or external memory.

Open the app, give root permissions and tap on TWRP FLASH.

Tap on Select a file to flash...

Select the recovery.img and flash it.

Download

TWRP

Do you tried power button + vol - button when phone is off until it vibrates?

When the power is on, it means that the REC purple light is on normally, but it can't enter the interface. The system is normal.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
No no, when you phone is off press power and vol - at same time (until it vibrates) and it boot to recovery.

Does this work on the stock kernel (291)? Or do I need a custom kernel with FOTAKernel support? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I wanna make sure I know what I'm doing before I unlock my bootloader and I'm seeing conflicting information regarding this. Thanks.

EDIT: nevermind, it does. Thanks for the great work!

Thank you!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] AzraelX:
Just follow the instructions from the beginning in the rom that you need to flash. Use this twrp and flash it using fastboot instead of using other.

Command : fastboot flash FOTAKernel 'recovery_name.img'

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] computerslayer:
About three months ago my Pixel 2 (purchased new from Google) began having an issue where it becomes unresponsive or extraordinarily delayed on responding. It almost always happens when I'm waking the phone up from being locked. When it happens, the phone will eventually unlock but everything reacts several seconds after contact (power button, taps, swipes). A reboot or power down fixes the problem, but is always necessary.

I switched to Project Fi around that time and thought it had something to do with the switching between CDMA and GSM (Sprint/US Cellular vs T-Moble) towers, but I've switched to T-Mobile (a solely GSM provider) since and the problem persists.

I am running Android Pie (stock). My bootloader is unlocked and I do have Magisk installed. No TWRP. I don't have any obvious troublemakers installed (like Xposed, for example) and only a few apps that even use root (Cerberus, Adaway, and Nova Launcher).

I have heard about the Pixel 2 XL having a hardware issue that results in unresponsiveness and that ultimately requires sending in the device for a replacement. Is this the same thing?

Any advice would be much appreciated. If it would be helpful, I can produce logs, but I'll have to wait until it happens again to offer logs that might contain clear indications of what might be happening.
