I'm not seeing an SMS app - is that by design? In which case should I simply download one via f-droid to resolve?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LuciferIII:
Yes you can do that, be sure it's set as default messaging app.

I am not sure why the ROM lacks it but I would recommend using Gapps Aroma where you have free choice of what to install.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] norchron80:
I installed QKSMS - works great. This ROM is very nice; I've been stuck with an old handset and android 2 for months so this is awesome! :laugh:

Edit: also installed k-9 mail to handle email, no complaints yet! :)

Did you set the APN after installation?

STEP 1

Google for "APN-Data" & Your Service Provider (if youre not directly a customer of one of the biggies, then the

exact company

(e.g. my provider is called "McSIM", so i had to search for this company, even though they are using the O2-Network)

STEP 2

Go to

"Settings" --> "Network and Internet" --> "Mobile Network" --> "Advanced" --> "Access Points (APNs)"

and set all the information you found in Step 1. If anything is unknown or not specified, then leave it at the standard settings of the ROM.

I had the same problem as you have, but setting it to 3G and specifying the APN solved it for me.

BTW: Thanks [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] for this awesome ROM! Except for some crashes, it currently works fine for me as a daily driver! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] norchron80:
Can anyone tell me which gapps to use? Do I have to use stock? I tried nano and pico but get wrong architecture error (I'm using arm64).

Up until now I've just not used gapps but now I want push alerts. I assume gapps will give me push notifications?

I use yalp for apps, I don't bother with google store.

Edit: the 'stock' gapps also fails to install. Should I be using arm64 or arm?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LuciferIII:
Our device is arm, not arm64 :D

Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock

Hello,

I'm pretty new to this. I followed all instructions, and it was working (I was in the process of getting my APN set up) I restarted my phone, and now I'm stuck in a bootloop with the message "custom binary blocked by FRP lock." I can't get into TWPR anymore, only download mode.

What did I do wrong, and any tips on how to fix?

EDIT: Currently downloading the Stock ROM, and will use ODIN to put it on, apparently this is the fix. When I try to put this custom ROM again, any advice on how I can avoid the same issue? Any tips are appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LuciferIII:

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PixelBoot:
I'm currently on vacation right now but once I get home, I'm going to revamp every ROM I did (excluding Pixel Experience since it is already done) for hardware button support. This achieves button backlight for the hardware keys, as well as having custom commands on hold, double tap or just a single tap. Hope that I hit all the criterias for your daily driver ROM ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PrivatPirat:
Thank you for the rom PixelBoot, it's working great so far!

I finally managed to get gps in microg working, so if anyone's interested:

-I used Nanodroid (https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928)

"n00b alert"

hey,

Installed the Rom yesterday, thanks for your work! Since iam not into custom roms i've got 1 question:

1) It seems that there is no Update coming for the aosp extended smg903f. Should i buy a phone for Roms which are updated more frequently because of security issues or am i fine using this rom even there are no updates available inthe future?

Furthermore : did anybody experienced the pop up troll messages ("noob alert", "Go outside", "error code: 1D1OT", etc) when trying to enter developer mode (clicking on the build-number)? :'D

many thanks,

jacob

Thank you for this awesome ROM! :cowboy::cowboy:

I installed it yesterday and I love it! However it seems my root is gone.

I did a clean wipe from android 7.0 to this ROM. could you please tell me anyone if you know how can I root my phone again?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Waibashi:
So. Since a while. I can't get some of MMS delivered to another carrier. Here's is a rundown of the issues

Pixel 2 XL 9.0 (Telus) to Pixel 2 XL (Rogers) = MMS not getting received by my friend.

Pixel 2 XL (Telus) to Samsung S9+ (Rogers) = MMS not working.

Pixel 2 XL (Telus) to Pixel 2 (Telus) = Works.

Now here are interesting facts. If I send MMS of screenshots. It works. And if I reduce my picture quality to 0.9 MPX. It works too.

But the best of them all. I install Textra and everything works perfectly (fan send full 12.2MPX without issues). If I send a picture through Message Web. It works flawlessly too.

Anyone had this issues and knows a fix ? I got two instances where I sent an important pic and it didn't work. Plus I use message web all the time. So Textra is a no go

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] frcraig:
Good question. Is xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 a lower version to your current Global ROM and will that trigger an arb brick. Ask one of our xiaomi.eu developers on their web forum. My phone came from tradingshenzen with an unlocked bootloader and xiaomi.eu 8.7.22. I had all the signal and connectivity problems that everyone else was reporting with the fake Global ROMs, so I installed STABLE China MIUI 9 using MiFlash to clean all partitions then flashed TWRP and xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 and the phone works like a charm. I haven't had a connection problem in Canada or the United States and consistently get LTE.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zunnoth:
Interesting development. I booted in to the chinese rom that's part of installing that official global rom and I had full bars. Switched back to the global though, out of not wanting to deal with the chinese rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] omer919:
The global roms 9.6.4.0-9.6.6.0 have a broken modem.

as you dont have antirollback yet,

if you dont want Anti-rollback:

Flash china 8.8.9 via fastboot while selecting "clean all"

flash xiaomi.eu 8.9.20 via twrp

Have a good day
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zunnoth:
Oh, no, I definitely seem to have antirollback. I tried 8.8.9 but Fastboot said their was an ARB conflict. I think I thought I had no choice at some point.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] omer919:
which version do you have installed right now?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zunnoth:
So I followed this guide, but after that didn't help I tried 8.9.20. Now I can't get past the loading screen, but I don't know if that's just because I made a mistake or what.

Edit: I'm an idiot. I misunderstood what the .eu roms were. I'm dling 8.9.20 now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] hhspiny:
share my process and trouble shooting for upgrading rooted note fe from nougat to oreo without re-install. I eventually got a solution

my nougat installation had data encryption enabled during setup, not sure if it made difference, or the cause of my trouble below.

the process references the post [SM-N935F/DS] How to flash TWRP & Root with Magisk (Int. Ver.) [Oreo Updated] and mostly used files provided there.

start with rooted nougat with TWRP

1. download latest OREO ROM from sammobile. Mine has CSC code XME

2. unzip to five .tar.md5 files

3. flash BL/AP/CP/HOME_CSC via Odin, turn off auto-reboot

4. exist download, and re-enter download immediately without letting it to boot up (press home+volume down+power immediately)

5. flash TWRP in odin

6. reboot into recovery

7. install in TWRP RMM-path

8. install in TWRP no-verty-opt-encrypt. This is required for me as my data is encrypted

9. reboot and let android complete the update process

--- note, I did not install the /data partition patch mentioned in original thread for OREO, as it led to boot loop and I had to re-flash stock rom --

10. reboot back to TWRP and install magisk to root

This should be it. BUT --

system boots up ok, but I noticed that CSC was not installed. there is not even /system/csc folder. somehow, the csc was not installed during the installation process. I tried multiple time, same results. here is how I got over it

1. from stock rom 's HOME_CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file, remove ".md5" to turn it to a tar file, and use 7zip to unzip it and take cache.img.lz4

2. use lz4 tool to covert cache.img.lz4 to cache.img

3. use SVAImgUnpack to covert cache.img to cache.ext4.img

4. use ext2explore.exe included in SVAImgUnpack to open cache.ext4.img and extract the sec_csc.img (ext2explorer.exe needs to run with admin)

5. use TWRP to install the extracted sec_csc.img

6. open a terminal in TWRP or use adb shell to run the following command cp -dpfr /system/csc/XME/system/* /system

that is it. and it should work.

If you need to enable VoLTE for Verizon or T-Mobile. extract customer.xml file from Galaxy S8 rom CSC's VZW or TMB folder, and copy it to overwrite customer.xml file under /system/csc.

I thought I would like to open a new thread for Athena and Shift comparsion. So the information would be more organized. For those who own both Shift and Athena, please your feedback highly appreciated. Anything at all, you regret your shift, or what you don't like about shift? or you love your shift until you want to let your Athena go?

@Wu5262 I thought you mention that you will never consider the Shift? :)

Thank you in Advance

I would mention what I like about Athena:

I'm using my Athena pretty much 12x7. All my data is pretty much synchronized to my laptop. I could get an instant on with Athena which I appreciate a lot. I could open many word documents with windows mobile 6 with high responsiveness. Snappiness is great when you need to retrieve any information quickly from time to time. I always keep my Athena in my pocket(Using Hugo Boss Dress Pant fit nicely) where ever I go even to Universal Studio until my Athena Dented from the rides(Duh!). It's got Dictionary for Business, Medical, and English, which I find to be very helpful for day to day basis. I have PocketBreeze to organize all my tasks and calendar at the very front of today's screen. That's the first thing in the morning that i would look at when I just turn on my Athena to organize the rest of my day. A Kick Ass Pocket Informant. I also have all my important documents and data on the laptop being stored in the Athena microdrives. Excellent battery life with USB Based car charger which is a big plus convenience. Opera lets me browse through many websites with a breeze. A big high quality 5 inch screen that doesn't strain my eyes. I own Thinkpad T60 and IMO the screen in Athena is better. I could still get fatigue with Thinkpad's screen, not sure why. All I need out of Athena is an even bigger, faster storage, and faster processor system. Speed is my upmost number one priority. My boss often calls me for an information and therefore I need to provide him the soonest or ELSE. :)

Minor Shortcomings: Slow Charging

Shift is tempting, but I'm afraid I may regret my purchase. I don't have the luxury to try out this baby before buying.
[Shift General] rorydaredkign:
great post, i was thinking the same. at first there was the attraction to the shift, but now, i could get the blu ray burner vaio from comet for a shift. and keep my athena...

PPC may do 80% of daily application, it's necessary to do some bank, AUTOCAD, and some others application under winxp when you are outside, I think winxp is enough, no need Vista.
[Shift General] Pawel062:
only reason to use shift is for the vista apps that cant be found on wm.
[Shift General] stormforger:
It kind of funny you started this thread tonight - I just happened to take out my HTC x7501 tonight and have both of them out on my desk at atm. I have been torn ever since I have gotten my shift. I have been trying to use the shift only and see if it will fit all my needs. For my needs and think yours from reading your post you want to compare the WM6 side. The Vista side of the shift was supposed to be more of bonus for me to make it even more usefull. I had mistakenly thought shift's WM side would be as powerful as the x7501 right out of the box. I was very much mistaken. Till a cooked rom comes out for the shift it has many short coming compared to the x7501 on the WM side. No GPS, limited storage space and no camera functions. No external buttons that work in slate mode. So currently there is no comparsion needed. If I was compare the devices assuming a cooked rom will give us these things here is my take.

I see two major pros for the shift over the advantage.

The biggest pro for the shift is the screen. Both the size and the color/brightness of the shift's screen is a big plus. The shift's screen is hands down nicer screen. The useable shift screen size on the WM side is sligthly bigger than the entire x7501 device. The bigger sceen makes using your finger to navigate even better. It is also a boon for reading emails or ebooks. The second is the keyboard. The keyboard on the shift is way better than the x7501. It is bigger and has great feedback. It is a joy to type out an email mesage on the WM6 side of the shift compared to the x7501.

The biggest pros for the x7501 over the shift is it size ??? :eek:

I know I just said the same thing about shift. But when you carry the x7501 around it is small enough to put in coat or jacket pocket and it form factor makes it look likea small book. Compare that to the "man bag" the shift is carried around in. The shift is much bigger and heaver to drag around. The shift dose not fit into any pockets of any jacket I own, and even if it did it is to heavy would weight down on that side of your jacket. The other pro of the x7501 over shift is its storage choices having the bigger internal memory, a mini sd card, and a hardrive. That is just sweet! Even after the shift rom is cooked it never be able to compete with x7501 in this area. I worry that I will always be wanting in this area with my shift.

You know I could go round and round with pros and cons both devices are nice, sexy looking and have features that other does not have. I don't know if I will ever be 100% happy with either now that I have both. I think I will have to hold on to both and visit this again after a cooked rom comes out for the shift. Till then I will probably keep switching back and forth and wishing that I took other device with me instead after a while.

I don't If I helped answer question but I sure have made myself confused now :confused:
[Shift General] Pawel062:
shift should i think be bought for the reason of u wanting a umpc. the wm side is not so good right now. shift is a nice device but has a bit too many shortcomings out of the box. it will be nice once modded. remind me a bit of the iphone :p
[Shift General] stormforger:
Oh one other thing I like better about the shift is that it's battery recharges much faster than the x7501. I know it not a big deal but I like not having to wait long for anything :D
[Shift General] Pawel062:
hehe yea thats a big plus.
[Shift General] jlingo:
Yes you are very right, the first time I bought my Athena, I was shocked on how slow the battery charging especially out of a USB port. :) Not sure if Advantage 7510 would improve considerably.
[Shift General] wu5262:
i guess i bought the shift because i realize i need vista to complete some of my work, there are just quite a few software which doesn't run under ppc, so i need an UMPC, another reason that i bought shift is because this forum, i know i will have lots of fun treaking the device and there will be lots of support here as well.

Shift is not for everyone, but certainly i am happy about it.
[Shift General] Pawel062:
yep. the community is always the key. u have the people from the athena forums here now working on the shift and u also have pof here. the shift will be a nice device once we are done with it.
[Shift General] greatestkelvin:
HTC Shift Vs HTC Athena

the athena is a very good device. I bought the Shift mainly just for fun. In fact u can do most things on the athena. The curve of owning a HTC Shift goes like this. During the first few hours it was really fun. I was quite amazed with the quality and the keyboard. After playing for awhile then i realize the Winmo is far inferior to Athena. i cannot install all my applications into it as the internal memory is so small. Not only that it cannot read the SD card. I read somewhere in this forum that there is no way to connect to the sd card as there are no wires attaching to it. After that I left it at home. Without bothering to play with it. After a week I started reading this forum again and some smart guy suggested to remove the finger recoginition security. I did it and wow, the speed is now much faster and acceptable. I started removing all those applications I don't need such as Origami and so on. I tweaked around with the battery settings as well. Now I am beginning to like it again as I have longer battery life and a faster machine. One thing is that I don't understand is why HTC only puts 64mb ram into this. Are they thinking of launching a HTC Shift 2 with 128mb ram. And a longer battery life. I think this is a way they milk the consumers for more money..
[Shift General] skin57:
Sometimes i really wonder what users in this forum are expecting from the Shift: Shift is a WindowsVista-UMPC in first place - the limited WindowsMobile-Part SnapVUE is just a nice Add-on for Instand-On (and powersaving) Mail, Calendar and Contact access. Not more, not less. That's why even the Hardware of the WM-Part is that limited (no Storage access) - hey, in fact, the WM-Side is not much more than the 3G Modem for Vista.

I bougt it because i wanted to have a small Vista-PC - otherwhise, i would have kept my HTC Universal. Yeah, i opended the WM-Side to install Opera and GPRSmonitor (too keep track of my 3G-Usage - 5 gigabyte contract...). But i don't expect more from SnapVue - and it does what's advertised, pretty well.
