Tell us what works and what doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

You use the TWRP in test ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] snoerme:
..i will not flash until i'm pretty Sure, nothing will go wrong.

I would like to understand what ist technicaly done.

After what i've read, its a normal fastboot flash, of the system partition. So, am I still able to run TWRP If anything goes wrong?

I guess the way to go, is to do a clean Fastboot flash of the official MiUi10 in advance to make sure my boot/ramdisk is clean. Then I would reflash TWRP and last the GSI.

What do you think?

please, which treble GSI AOSP rom (8.1 or 9.0) advised with the most things working (calls, camera, fingerprint, sound...)??

thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] anish sk:
i think Android 8.1 gsi rom is more stable as of now.

if u want to flash gsi rom

1. unlock bootloader by official way

2. flash twrp

3. do a factory reset in twrp

4. flash rom.

that's all.

I think i am gonna test soon, just gotta get some info... i was flashing intesively lot of phones in past, but now i had pause few years... seems lot of things changed - treble?! whaat?!

I just got this redmi 6, although i wanted 5, and seems it was big mistake, but nonetheless im gonna try and see. I dont remember any phone with 0 info and 0 feedback few years back.

Hey there everyone!

Since there are no custom ROM's currently available for our Redmi 6, i decided to give GSI ROM's a try. I tried los 15.1, and it worked! Wifi, bt, and even camera work. The only problem: The radio's don't work, so you cant make calls / sms /data. Other then that, the ROM is super fast and speedy. Also, there are no GApps and its not certified, so we gotta certify it :) I've tried only Lineage, but you can also try RR, HavocOS etc.

BTW, the Redmi 6 is ARM and A only.

You don't need to fastboot flash the img, you can use TWRP too. And yes, TWRP works if anything goes wrong and worst case use Mi flash and rescue your phone. I tried los 15.1, here are my thoughts: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-6/how-to/rom-gsi-lineage-os-redmi-6-t3915146

Hi, new here...

And with not so good English, I hope the translation is good enough...

I tried some gsi for Redmi 6 (without sim) aosp 14 and crdroid 10 (android 13)

And they all worked fine for me by and large (can't say about calls, sms and data)

There was only one big thing that bothered me, that the screen flickered a lot and everything was much whiter

Can anyone tell me something about this?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Hazeno:
Ok my daughter has a J5 which I regret buying her as the 16gb Internal is just not enough. I've got numerous SDs but Samsung decided to remove support for adoptable storage.

Now my question is what options do we have to enable adoptable storage and have it work? I've tried numerous custom ROMs with numerous Kernels that are supposed to enable and neither work. I decided to flash LOS but it's not stable enough for her to daily due to the camera issues and NFC being needed.

She's currently on 7.0, Was the S7 patch fixed for Nougat? If not I'll flash stock 7.0 and TWRP and just use the Patch.zip to enable and use that.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] David Capinha:
I have the same problem.

Do you have any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
Flash a custom rom. Samsung firmware is crap and doesn't allow adoptable storage unless you can flash the adoptable storage enabler zip by [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

But even this method is flawed on the j5 so going with a custom rom is the best option.

Also a custom rom will give you a small bit better performance without having all the Samsung bloat on it

So I experienced a "little" trouble after the Pie update, when trying too root my phone again.

Which one of you Oneplus 6-ers with rooted and "normal" phones also had problems after the Pie update?

And which one of you had the perfect update?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
Perfect update here.

Coming from 5.1.5 straight to 9.0

Flashed bluspark.zip while still on 5.1.5, reboot to twrp, flashed Android Pie + twrp.zip + magisk 17.2, reboot twrp flash Android Pie + twrp.zip + magisk.zip again in second slot, reboot system.

Worked without any issues
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
From 5.11 to 9.0 with no issues. Updated to blue spark TWRP. Flashed full ota. Flashed TWRP again and Magisk 17.2. rebooted to TWRP, flashed TWRP and Magisk again and all was perfect. After first reboot I flashed EX Kernel 3.01 for pie and no Hicks and same insanely good battery life. No rogue apps (68 apps) at all.

Put your phone in "airplane mode", start haret.exe and it will work (for me), when your phone accesses a 3g network, haret won't work...

The only thing is, you can't do anything with it... If you start an application, it all crashes and you have to soft restart your device. But it was fun to watch seeing your mobile boot into Linux and then entering Android.

Update

They have an updated Zimage over http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/

Update(18/4/08): Radio now works for data. The latest zImage and initrd-android should let you use the browser and maps application(no keyboard yet though). You will need to put a username and password in default.txt depending on your provider (the ones there will work for Telecom NZ). The old files are here and here. The phone may say it has no network coverage but it should still work. To get the phone fully working we will need to write a ril library for it.

First boot attempt at this new zimage and it locks on the cylon\kit loading screen. Seems to stutter a few times then hangs.

I edited the default.text with a blank username/password from 3 UK

The older zimage booted fine but would then hang when launching apps etc

Alright, I downloaded the .cab file and installed Android. Wow, it totally worked at first try... However, today (2 days later) I tried again and I simply cannot get Android to boot. I didn't change a single thing - just turned off the device, left it turned off for 2 days and that's it.

Does anybody have any clua as to why I run into this problem?

Also, is there a new zImage available by now (other than the one in the .cab file by ve_vigilant)?

I tried the new zlImage, but couldn't get the radio to work. I tried a bunch of times, but to no avail. Also, When I dial a number on the dial pad and press the green "Make call" hard button on my HTC Touch Cruise, the dial pad disappears. I wanted to know if this is the right behavior and if it is, then what key should be pressed to actually initiate the call after typing in the number?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] corpus:
thank YOU! here is my report.

* radio is working (with initrd from the http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ , but not with the image from the cab).

* i was able to receive sms (but not to send... the app did not respond).

* incoming calls are not working - nothing happens if i call to the phone, but the phone is NOT busy, so... may be some notification is missing or something similar.

* unable to make outgoing call - when i press "send" button (not just in dialer, but in all applications) the phone brings me back to the "desktop". so may be keymap is not correct... (UPDATE: outgoing calls works! it is possible to call using contacs - create new contact and tap twice on it. sound came from the backside speaker. it was unable to end the call using the "red" button)

p.s.: i`m using orginal rom

p.p.s.: great job!!! can YOU make a diff and share it with community? ;) thank YOU
[Touch Cruise Android Development] premy:
Thanks for the reports.

To try outgoing calls, the trick is to go to the contacts app and create a new contact with the phone number you want to call, and then from there to call the number. I'll have to fix the key mapping some time.....

As for the source code, it's going to be included in the linuxtogo repository. It's not yet, though, so if you want to start playing with it and improving, here's a diff against the linuxtogo repository. To build the above zImage, you'll also need to apply my the patches I posted on June 16th.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dubbeld00:
Done that (create a contact add a number) but it doesn't work. The other phone doesn't ring. But still a great job!

Btw, new in the vogue image are: a better keyboard, new TS driver already tried them out? (Or where you able to find it). Another thing: initrd-android from kaiser, modify date is 25th of june, on the vogue page 20th of june, mayme this initrd is working better? (or it's just the same).

angstrom-console A console only, in stead of android (just a linux console environment). (change initrd-android to angstrom-console in your default.txt)

All credit to !!premy/dubbeldd00!!

Install to device memory not SD card ;-)

Once the .cab is installed you can easily update andoid by just dumping the latest zimage from these talented people into program files\android directory.

The radio seems to be working OK for me. It reports it as G and I only ever seem to get one bar.

I added a contact and dialed it. It dialed 100%

The call came through the loud speaker.

I tried to hang up and it confused me! Android disabled the touch screen so I couldnt press on hang up. You have to scroll through to hang up using the dial pad.

Incoming call was OK too. It displayed on screen "incoming call". No rington was played (i guess as sound isnt configured yet) I could answer the call. Again the sound came out of the loud speaker on my polaris.

Tried to SMS and the application just hung.

I am using udK Latest diamond rom

Incoming call notification is displayed, can accept call. Call establishes, audio is clear.

Can't disconnect the call ; touch screen red soft-button doesn't take action.

the green off-hook notification icon is displayed on the top bar.

The Kaiser / Vogue had some suggestion on getting GPRS working with command line options in default.txt.

Any ideas on the getting GPRS working on Polaris as well?

How can we add contact for outgoing calls? I got to the contacts menu, there is no keyboard on Polaris? Is the touch-screen based kb working? How do I launch it?
