[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] R.pixel:
There's so many kernels... It's a bit confusing which one to use.

I heard in some threads that if a kernel doesn't have proper drivers for display...then it can damage the display by screen in burns or so... So most only preferred DA kernel... I just wanted to know that will this kernel damage the display because of any reason like drivers or so? As I don't know much about kernels :)

I know of at least 3 display panels for vince:

1. Tianma td4310

2. Tianma td4310 ebbg

3. Novitek nt36672

Maybe there will even be new vince devices with yet another display panel in the future. It is a lottery when you buy vince, because you don't know which display panel you will get. If only Xiaomi would release up-to-date Oreo kernel sources that support

all

their display panels. They do have those sources, because MIUI kernels support all three display panels.

Hi [MENTION=8484128]rama982[/MENTION] some devs are using ur kernel as base for pie ROMs exactly Genom-Pie-RebaseV2. I figured out a black screen flickering in Chrome Browser I've tried the CrDroid 5.0 released by L-ROM 4PDA and the problem doesn't persist but on CrDroid 5.0 from XDA the problem came back. In conclusion I've figured out that problem is in ur kernel. If u can check this problem. Thank u :fingers-crossed:

I've attached an image but of what is happening, although its the whole right side now and not just 3/4 of it. Also the previous screen I am browsing sometimes stays on the right side too.

I have same problem, it shows up for 100ms, then it's gone. I have it appearing only while watching videos, never on normal use. With modem/firmware from 16s to 28s I always have this kind of glitch appear from top to bottom, on modem 30s it looks exactly like on yours 3/4 th of screen. Looks like software problem to me. I still have no solution for it :(
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] papalzru:
Hi, Im the original poster. My le max still does this every now and again but at the moment its fine. Mine is definitely to do with hardware. I believe its a loose ribbon. It sometimes starts if i drop my phone and i can also stop it from happening if i bang the phone upside down a couple of times.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] kroppy:
You can try to squeeze phone just below sim slot, ribbon is located there about 1cm to the right from the left border of the screen. In my case I'm 100% sure, my problem is software related, since firmware changes glitch behavior. Unless firmware changes way how video chip communicates with the screen...

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] xeph20:
Hi!

I was wondering if its possible by any way (app tweak mod whatever) to get bluetooth permissions on stock miui?

I noticed this is available on custom roms but i have other bugs / things i miss on custom rom.

So is it possible? (if you don't understand, on stock if i connect to my bluetooth earphone i can change nothing and i sometimes call people by accident. as a nightshift worked people don't like this :P, on Resurrection remix i could deselect phone permission on my bluetooth earphone and it worked a sharm. but as i said battery life, performance and bugs keep me away from custom roms)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] alinusking:
Environment:

Samsung s9+ HK version Snapdragon 845

Bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted.

Android 8.00

Samsung Experience 9.0

Version: G9650ZCU3ARH4

what happened?

I updated to the new system and root my device. However, I find the wifi always shows "the internet is not avaliable" with a exclamation mark. The wifi is eduroam so I am 100% sure it works. It starts to check whether a wifi is connected and then shows this. However, the other devices can connect this wifi, and I can use this wifi to use my Chrome. The downloading from Google Store does not work. This affects my use.

What did I try to do?

1. Disable Captice Portal check using a app with root, but it does not work.

2. Use "adb shell

settings put global captive_portal_mode 0 "

It still does not work.

What do I want to know?

Does Samsung rom has a different way to detect Wifi? How can I disable it?

Or it is a system bug since in the early versions I did not discover this issue.

Note: Remember this is a Chinese Rom.

Thank you very much.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Umeaboy:
I bought this wonderful phone a while ago and I'm so happy I did.

First thing I did was to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and then the NIGHTLY of CarbonROM which overall is fine, but I don't plan to use it much longer and I have several reasons for it.

My short time goal is to get this phone officially supported by Lineage, but the long term goal is to port it to Sailfish OS.

To port it to Sailfish OS (which means to build a hybris image to install on top of the Lineage image) I need a working local manifest that will either build Lineage 14.1 or 15.1.

https://github.com/Myself5/android_device_sony_maple is supposed to build Lineage 15.1 for this phone, but as a lack of enough needed RAM to build Lineage 15.1 I'm asking for assistance to make that come true.

To get updated vendor blobs you can use this one instead of the obsolete that Myself5 uses in his manifest:

https://github.com/obsd39/proprietary_vendor_sony

Who is kind enough to help me?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] uditrawat:
bro problem is the tree you shared have lot of problems you have to manually pick all commits from carbon rom to make it stable it is not simple mainfest
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Umeaboy:
I know. I just prefer getting all the commits picked in one action.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] uditrawat:
then i think you should use carbon tree and one more think thanks to modpunk we can use stock camera on custom rom
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Umeaboy:
Sorry for nagging, but if MultiRom manager can boot CarbonRom or your Lineage build that would be great.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] uditrawat:
just an update i fixed most of the error but i am new to multi rom manager i will try i will release lineage os soon
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Umeaboy:
Aha. Multirom Manager is a bootloader similar to GRUB that lets you have 2 ROM's or more installed side by side and at startup you get to choose which ROM you want to boot.

It's good for testing purposes and you still get to use a stable ROM at the same time.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] megaghostgamer:
I'd like to start off by apologizing if there's a thread that has answered this. I've spent nearly a week trying to find my answer because, I'm one of those that doesn't like duplicate post to begin with or those who don't google however, I can't find my definite answer and I just want to reassure before going and spending money.

Scenario: I recently have been given an AT&T Galaxy S9 and I'm mad in love with it (using an iPhone X at the moment lol) and I need it to work on Verizon. Of course my first step will be unlocking the device to be able to be used on different networks and I do by putting in the code that I received and it does unlock it. I proceed to put my sim card in it and I notice I can't seem to get service to work. I noticed giving my Note 8 Verizon to my friend who has AT&T, he could put his sim card in and it'll restart with all AT&T functions including the boot logo and all. My S9 AT&T rejects it still. I did try and tinker with the dial codes (*#*#4636#*#*) and setting my bands to LTE/CDMA. Doing this allowed me to receive 4G LTE on the device but, no cellular service. With that being said, I've read on threads that firmwares from certain manufacturers disable bands so I assume AT&T has those disabled that work for Verizon. My next step was trying to get a verizon firmware to work on it. I downloaded the ARG8 U firmware from verizon for it and it still boots AT&T firmware regardless. My last thought would be waiting for the updated V3 U1 Firmware for the S9 and maybe that'll fix it? I just need some opinions on this matter because, if I can't get this to work then I'm going to proceed on buying a new one unlocked.

Thank you guys in advanced and again, if there's already answers for this then I apologize. I've worked with android since the HTC Hero days and I still get stumped on some things haha.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] nimms:

Or VZW U1

https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=E2DA06D078D411E89F15FA163EE8F90B

For proper functionality, make sure there's a "userdata" file when you unzip.

Also, use CSC file which wipes the phone, not home csc file which keeps data intact.

If things don't work.. keep sim inside and do a factory reset with sim. it'll ensure proper CSC selection.
