[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Kumarankav:
Is there any custom roms available for Miui 9.5/9.6 builds? I see only MIUI 10 weekly builds from Miuipro, masik, revolution, xiaomi.eu and etc.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] sandeepxperia:
Is there any true Sony fan developer that can bring back/mod old features like Sense slideshow in Album app, Video minimise option to Video and TV slideshow app or simply just make old Z series Video app support to newer Xperia devices, Senseme and Visualizer options in Music app, Headphone selection feature without root. Ok i am kidding! But why there is Headphone selection apk and why is not working/showing when i installed on my Xperia 8.0 stock OS!

I also want the Color illumination bar! So, please make some hardware changes u goddamn sony fan boiiiiiiiis!

If there are more old cool features. Please bring them back!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Guetto Design:
if brother I agree with you, many old things that are and quito were very good, for example the music visualizer and the old video app
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] sandeepxperia:
Why Sony custom rom developers aren't trying to bring any single old feature. I really wish someone just make Sony's Jellybean like UI in custom 8.1 OS devices with a mix of Material design! Everyone forgotted the real Sony!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrandonB1218:
As grateful as I am for the H932 to now have root, it's only half the battle for me. V30 development in the ROMs department already seems to be a bit slim in what's available, and I fear it might be too little too late for the H932 for development to really take off.

Having said that, I wanted to call on any capable and willing dev to give us some love on the H932, and I'm more than willing to donate to the cause for the first dev that is willing to grace us with something like this:

First off, confirm whether or not we can indeed use AOSP ROMs or if we're stuck with stock based.

Stable (stock Oreo from Tmo sucks in this department, too many bugs left unfixed).

Debloated.

Wide range of customization options, if possible.

That's all I ask! Anyone else feel free to expand on that.

Who's with me?

I'll start us off:

BrandonB1218 - $20

Kangta05 - $20

Joeygee23 - $20

Total: $60

Update:

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] and I are testing Pi builds on the H932. Stay tuned!

Update:

As a developer... Yes h932 roms will be easy. More than likely you guys just have a different kernel/vendor files. We need logs in order to know exactly whats wrong. and I havent seen any logs from boot attempts.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrandonB1218:
I'm willing to provide them, I just need to know how to retrieve them. I already know I can flash other ROMs without ending up with a brick, they just won't boot.

Wow, you guys really are inpatient :P

My H932 doesn't even get here till tomorrow. As soon as I have a phone in my hands, then I will start with:

1 - fixing the kernel so the H932 can boot any AOSP ROM

2 - Working on getting Treble support working, so that we can run GSI ROMs

3 - Getting a build of TWRP out there that support encryption

Hope to have a working build soon, and a big big big thank you to [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] for their hard work and dedication to the community.

There's no dev without root, so folks, whatever bounty you are willing to pay should largely go to [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] first. Here is the link for your convenience: donate to runningnak3d. Do it, then if you have any left and willing, you could pledge bounty for developers.

That said, for development I have H932s I can loan for 1-2 months. PM me. I personally prefer stock LG and have less need for AOSP/Treble, but the loaner is available regardless.

Can I please test.. I've been asking for days for something to flash.. I'm ok with bug reporting.. pm me please..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
I do not need any more testers. 1 is plenty for me. Especially at the current stage of the rom. Please do not PM me or [MENTION=2768375]BrandonB1218[/MENTION] asking for the build. You will not get it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkeyst4tus:
So much for donating.. I thought the point of any of this was making money.. even easy side money.. I guess I can wait..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
The purpose of this isn't to make money. Its to get support for the H932. Which i have done. As of right now there are only minor issues such as audio issues. Those don't need multiple testers.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrandonB1218:
I rarely if ever see a developer do this because it pays (99% of the time it doesn't). The point of a Bounty thread such as this, is to act as an incentive for developers to hopefully begin supporting the H932, however they are under no obligation to do so, and if someone steps up to do it, such as me2151, I promise you the $60 he might get in donations does not begin to reflect the true value of his work, not just in time spent but his work also provides a base for other developers to make their own ROMs much easier in the future.

Just my 2 cents.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkeyst4tus:
I also said pm me because I'm as impatient as you.. I thought you would understand where I was coming from. I was expecting you to shoot me a number or link.. I said I don't mind bugs.. I don't even use this phone for anything other than testing and I get bored.. I guess waiting is ok.. but an incentive to donate is nice to.. it goes both ways..
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] ArsalanTheGamer:
I am actually thinking of buying this device. Now I have noticed that even after such a long time from it's release, this device still doesn't has any official Twrp recovery and basically overall the community support for custom ROMs and Kernels is close to nothing. Now I have flashed a lot of Roms and Kernels in my current device can I expect the same from this device?!:confused:

Please express your thoughts, your inputs would help me. Final question : should I buy it if want the above things for zenfone 5z as my future device?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] Xadus:
You are quite correct on that account, I am myself waiting for the same.

I share similar sentiments and would love some custom support; that being said, we do have a couple of developers for the device in question.

As far as i know, one of them is yet to get his hands on the device and the other one is busy with his life. It is unclear at the moment as to when can we expect things to catch some pace.

On the other front, I would recommend this device wholeheartedly against the likes of OnePlus 6 and Pocophone F1 (the famous competitors), quite simply because it IS better than those 2 in terms of raw performance and overall usability.

OnePlus does excel in terms of software support (it being close to stock android) and the added touch of water resistance however, that's all there is to it. I personally like the little compact dimensions and the super LCD screen (tbh not a fan of AMOLED screens personally) of the 5Z better. Pocophone F1 on the other hand is a total no-go as the built quality and overall device is way off from the 5Z; however, in terms of the specs provided for the price it asks for is quite impressive and would be the best choice if you are on a tight budget.

There is really no "wrong" choice here, it just boils down to what you personally prefer the most.

For me 5Z >= OP6 >> Pocophone F1. Cheers.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] ArsalanTheGamer:
I agree with you even I like the Asus more than the oneplus 6 and Poco F1, however as stated before before I buy a device I first take a look at its community support and in this case, well we know....

I'll wait, maybe a few more weeks perhaps, when I finally see something then I may buy it, otherwise I will have to forcefully change my choice. :crying:

I wish the overall community to be a little more responsive here, I mean it's been a while since this device has been released. Poco F1 for instance already has proper guides and Rom. It's high time.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] MrSewerPickle:
We will work to help make that happen. If Asus wants to grow in Mobile devices and not just me to a bit more then they will continue to grow with updates and releases.....
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] _Mischief_:
Same thing for me

Hey Guys! So Flipkart in India is having a BigBillionDay Sale and i was wondering what to buy Xiaomi Poco F1 or Asus Zenfone 5Z. There is a lot of Development going on for the Poco F1. And i like to play around with Cellphones like rooting and stuff. I really like the Z5Z and its on Offer, POCO F1 is good too. Kindly help me out to choose. How's the after sales service of Asus?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] known.stranger:

[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] Xadus:
Asus has already released an official statement stating Pie would arrive on 5Z by the end of January 2019.

Yes asking for this ETA is justified as it's a company policy to give timely updates, asking for ETA to custom devs for their ROMs is however rude.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie24902005:
Unfortunately, I updated the tablet at the beginning. After that I recognised that the latest rom is not rootable. So how can I gain root? By reverting to original firmware.....?By factory data reset......?Or it is no way to work around? Thanks for reviewing my question :)

Solved: I use the offline method to root... :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
On HD 10, 2017 edition only, you can root all the way up to 5.6.2.0 (the latest known version). If you think it's an update preventing it, go here and download ONLY the firmware for your current version of FireOS from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74987123&postcount=2 If you are on 5.6.1.0 or later you cannot downgrade so make sure you have the exact correct firmware or you will brick permanently.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] anujagarwal:
It cant change your display lcd ppi as it is hardware default , but it changes the display resolution like we do for dpi in settings .

I am trying to put together this one super thread of applications that we like and dislike , the problems and advantages of them. As people add to the list I will add them to the first set of posts so as to make reading a lot easier once the thread grows. The first posts will also have the post # that it refers to, to also help in easier reading for others.

I will personally try to test as much software as possible if not every piece thats questioned about. The phone I am using is the t-mobile wing until I get my hands on a few other phones.

Please no flaming as I am sure tons of noobs will be drawn to this thread. All I ask is if you cant read the first page then leave, because you know people are going to flame you no matter what.

So there you have it people one thread to ask complain and say what you feel about any aspect of mobile 6 & 6.1.

Oxios Memory 1.40

Release memory on your Windows Mobile (Freeware)

Oxios Hibernate attempts to release as much memory as possible without damaging the internal state of the Windows Mobile device (Pocket PC or Smartphone).

Oxios CloseApps closes down other applications by sending "Close" messages.

Oxios Hibernate 1.40

WM_HIBERNATE is a window message that is generated by the Windows operating system and sent to an application when system resources are running low. All applications should get the message and handle it by attempting to release as many resources as possible by unloading processes, destroying windows, or freeing up as much local storage as possible without damaging the internal state of the system.

Oxios Hibernate sends WM_HIBERNATE to all applications.

Oxios CloseApps 1.40

Each process started on a Windows Mobile-based Smartphone allocates memory, which cannot be released but is automatically freed when the application process ends.

Oxios CloseApps closes down all applications by sending WM_CLOSE messages.

Info: There is no way to suppress the dialog box!

Cooking your Splash Screen

Once again many thanks to all who helped me papamopps who is a great teacher and will have you laughing as he teaches. I am sure all his students love him for his humor. And it was his idea for me to start this whole thread here. zcink who always quietly finds his solution and will always share. Dutty for his wonderful nbhtool as his work is legendary already. Dark Simpson for his htc rom tool. And all the others who helped me learn and the noobs who got me searching for answers.

And last but surely not least ivanmmj Who started this thread and brought this to our attention. Also ttran001 who wrote the original how to, all I am doing is making it easier for people to use and supplying all the files.

"DOWNLOAD"

I have included a folder named "PURESKILLZZZ Splash Screen" for you to test before doing anything at all. This folder is my splash screen that I created and tested on a t-mobile wing. I have also included my image file that I used in-case you just want to go through the process before you create your won.

1.) Download all files needed. ( I made 1 download for everything. )

2.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.

10.) Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.

11.) Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.

12.) This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.

13.) Click on the Decompile NBH file button.

14.) Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.

15.) Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.

16.) Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.

17.) OK now goto folder step 3.

18.) Open htcrt.exe file ( this is the HTC_ROM_Tool. )

19.) The htc rom tool screen will popup.
