[General Questions and Answers] Salvadorfreeman:
Hello,

I am trying to copy a messaging/voip app from my old phone. I used APK Extractor to copy the app.

The problem is with the app's login info. When I launch the app on my old phone, I get a message that the account is inactive and I need to contact customer services. But the app then works, I can make calls and check the credit remaining etc.

When I enter the account details (login and password, identical to the ones that are logged on on my old phone) in my new phone I get an invalid account message.

In fact the account is dormant, but still works. So obviously I don't want to contact the service provider.

The problem is not to retrieve the login details - I already have those - but how to flag the app as logged in.

Anyone have any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Salvadorfreeman:
OK, I managed to solve the problem. I'll post it, in case it helps anyone else.

It turns out that the manual log in works if there is no SIM card present in the phone.

If a SIM card is present, the Freedompop app finds that either it is not a Freedompop SIM, or that it is an inactive SIM, so refuses to log in. If there is no SIM card present (for any operator), then the manual log in works.

Hello Devolpers.

what do we need to get in progress for a homecooked ROM? the request could be like a clean ROM Pie 9 with the Camera app. is that not enough?

Kernel request, here am I not sure? A secure kernel.

Should we just pay for the Bootunlock and take it from there?

How do we move on? Is it possible?

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] none24:
Hey guys,

I have a bit of a weird issue that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

Before I get into that, note, I was super unaware that there were 2 versions of the 2015 controller, this one i have has the O

one has the trapezoid home button and the other has a O for a home button. #WeirdFlexButOkay not sure the actual difference between the 2.

Now, I just got this shield not long ago, and day 1 with it I had it plugged in (not paired) and the day after that I paired it.

On both occasions, I would just be navigating around the UI, and there will be instances where I need to hit the back button, or the play button and it wouldnt register until I clicked it say 8 times.

I've unpaired and paired the controller, tested the controller on my computer and it works completely fine in Windows, Nox and Androidx86.

Is this a software based issue? (This is on the oreo update so im not sure how it functions in 7.1) if so is there a Rom I could flash to make things better?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] maelish:
There are a couple of odd things that puzzle me about my Pixel 3. None of these are problems I had on my previous phone, a Note 5.

Charging Sounds are on but never actually play.

Turning down the volume of Ring volume isn't intuitive. The rocker switches always control Media volume instead of Ring volume.

Some data apps update slowly. One chat app (Line Chat) won't get the messages in a timely. They arrive anywhere from seconds to 30 minutes faster than on my PC.

None of these are dead breakers obviously. But is anyone else having these too? Maybe something else similar?

Hey, I want to know how to root Moto g5 as on nougat it was so easy, but now I not able to root it.any help will appreciate.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
The procedure is always the same. However, you need an unlocked bootloader to proceed. First, download Magisk flashable zip + corresponding Magisk Manager version. Then, boot into the TWRP, allow system modifications and install Magisk zip. After the successful install, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot to the system. At the last, install already downloaded Magisk Manager as you normally would with any other app.

Latest Magisk - v17.1 (v17+ can bypass CTS check even when rooted): https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 (use "latest stable" link).

hello, i have read and read all the wiki's, but ive not been able to fix my phone.:(

i use a cingular 8525 (herm100) phone, and cannot install any rom on the phone. I have two versions of the At&t ROM with radio's and tried them both, but they all stop at 11-12 %.

i have tried usind the sd-card method, and it does not pass the "GSM - " portion.

i guess the radio is not working or is corrupt or something..

my phone is now in bootloader and just says

HERM100

IPL-1.04

HERM100

SPL-2.03

please any help will be appreciated. thank you!!!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TomorrowSpace:
I would update your copy of Windows Mobile Device Center first (especially if you're using Vista). Flash SPL and the radio, then flash any rom to see what happens. I mean really at this point, it's already a brick... try some crazy stuff, you can't hurt it anymore than it already is. I did the same thing to mine a couple of months ago, and after trying these things, I got it working again without a problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
update to hard spl ver.7.

try to flash

a). stock rom (sometimes this works)

b). radio only rom.

Just to make sure I understand, the unlocker you linked is to SIM and CID unlock, correct ?? And then on top of that - you should update to HardSpl also ??

I have an 8525 on its way that I will be looking to upgrade - just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bartan:
sorry for the late reply

i have been dealing with this for 3 days and finally managed to run official AT&T rom for 4 days wout hard reset.

there is a method dumping an official himalaya rom to hermes. az pof explained in one of his posts all commands except radio commands are different in himalaya so it is safe to use dumping method.

it basically deletes everything in radio rom so you can install official rom.

PS: at first install official rom stucked %12 i said damn but in second try %15 third try success

i am at work now i dont have the link of method but try googling or searching my posts (not too much :) )

i hope it solves your problem

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] roomtek*8525:
thanks guys, i've tried some things

i have tried using Hard SPL v.7 it does not work.

i have tried using official cingular roms too. stops at 11% no success.

i have tried upgraing radio only, stops a 0% and restarts the device.

i have also used mtty, with some text inputs, no success

i have even tried selling the brick on e-bay .... as you can guess no success.!:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
bill_in_mtl, sorry bout lateness of my reply ( net problems), yes you do unlock sim and cid. Sim unlock means you can use ANY simcard from any carrier and Cid unlock means you can flash ANY hermes rom (both official or cooked). It needs to be unlocked first as the spl is downgraded to 1.40 (I think) and you should REALLY be running with 2.10 olipro (hard SPL ver 7). I wouldnt bother upgrading to Hard SPL ver 9 a this is essentially only ver 7 with some neat features for developers but it does throw up an error message when you finish flashing a rom(no problems t just feels like it).

Hard SPL WON'T stop you from bricking your phone BUT it will make it easier to recover.

roomtek*8525, sorry to hear that but have you tried flashing with a cooked rom? This unfortunately wont fix the phone part but you will have a working PDA...If you've tried MTTY with info 8 and task 2a commands then thats the best to hope for, Sorry bout that..:(

Hi all,

I've been trying to update my Huawei P10 (VTR-L29 with Nugat installed) and, after installing twrp 3.1.0 I installed noverify opt-decrypt to access the internal folders. After this, the phone was unable to start, and I tried to wipe from twrp but I believe I wiped too much and now, if I want to reboot the phone I get a message saying that I have no OS on the phone. Could someone help me with this please? should I flash an image from twrp? Where can I find it? I've tried to recover it with the backup done with twrp but it does not work, it seems that something failed when I backed it up.

How do I root my device without twrp???
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Oh I thought you could boot to it but it doesn't stick

If you can't get into twrp at all it's user error

Follow my guide on the twrp thread

Make sure you rename the image recovery.img

Put your phone into fastboot mode - hold Vol down & power button

Then in a cmd prompt where you have recovery.img & fastboot type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then use the volume keys to select recovery and press power button to select

Post your cmd output but it should say write OK at the end

Ignore the error is not signed or corrupt that comes before that

Obviously I presume you have already unlocked your bootloader - just follow all the instructions on the twrp thread

Also you don't reboot the phone between flashing twrp and entering twrp for the first time

Hey, I was able to boot it and run the latest twrp and install the supersu but the root process failed as it gives me ram extraction failed and end then I thought reboot and install magisk, so I install it and download the zip file then when I try to go in recovery mode, twrp is not available as stock recover is there. I don't know why recover change automatically. Do you know the reason behind it why it changed?? Or do I need to do something to keep it. At the time of nougat I was able to use it without any problem as recover doesn' change,but in Oreo it happening.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Supersu is very old and outdated (the reason for that error is supersu can't install in systemless mode because the kernel ramdisk paths are not compatible) but since supersu is ancient now it's pointless trying to get it to work

Use magisk

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Flash in twrp

You may have to install the magisk manager app separately if its not in your app draw

Just download the apk and install it via any file manager

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] nfsmw_gr:
Hey guys, I owned the pocophone f1 and liked it a lot but since it had a severe touch input issue I had to refund it and stick with my RN3.

The past couple of weeks fixes started to emerge for the touchscreen with lots of positive feedback about them which made pocophone f1 a viable choice again.

But in the meantime, I was looking at the mi8.

Although it's very compelling I have some questions in my mind before I end up getting it or not.

Your answers will help determine which phone I pick in the end.

1) Is the battery of the mi8 enough for day to day usage?

Using my device mainly for browsing and chatting.

2) Is it safe unlocking the bootloader and flashing let's say HavocOS?

I read it had rollback protection and you could screw up your phone, can this happen easily?

3) Is the development good enough? I saw LOS16 is not official which is never a good sign, same for twrp, two kernels available, and 5-6 roms.

The RN3 that I use is from 2016 and has 5 kernels, well over 10 roms, overall good development strength.

Do you think the mi8's development strength will increase over time?

4) Does the stereo speaker mod work on custom roms or in miui only? I really won't stay on miui long no matter what device I have.

If it doesn't work is the single bottom firing speaker loud? Does it have good quality?

5) Is 64gb of storage limiting? The lack of micro sd may force me to get the 128gb version. What about the lack of headphone jack, does that annoy you?

6) Does the device thermal throttle to the point that annoys you?

Is there any mod for that?

Feel free to answer anything you want, and add anything I missed if you see something important not mentioned.

Thanks to anyone involved in this. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Dekkerlion:
I will reply to what I know I can answer to : battery life is absolutely superb and pretty much unbelievable, anywhere from 7 to 9 hours with extra high usage (8 hours screen on time with plenty of browsing, YouTube, messenger, and one of the most battery consuming games imo, fate grand order and on mobile data enabled 100%).

It's easily a one and a half to two days phone for average to high usage and for high usage it's around one day to one day and a quarter / half.

The single speaker is pretty loud and very clear, I enjoy how it sounds.

For me at least I'd say the 128 is the best buy since that's what I got and I couldn't see myself surviving with less but then again I'm a hoarder : I keep all the photos, videos, games, apps and most of the games I have are pretty big too.

And the screen is incredibly gorgeous and a joy to use too
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] nfsmw_gr:
Thanks for your contribution. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Fabrz:
1) Battery life is good enough for a full day without worrying how much you use the phone

2)You'll always have to pay attention, no matter the device you buy. Read carefully and you'll be fine

3)I tried 3 early roms, now I'm back on Miui. They were overall pretty good, ready to be used on daily basis despite being published days before. I would say that you'll have good alternatives to Miui.

4)Don't know, I'm satisfied with the speaker, but I hardly use it to listen music. It's enough for me to listen audiobooks when I'm under the shower tough, and it's way better than my 24 inch philips monitor speakers. Btw the bluetooth is dope and super stable, I can go around the house with my bluetooth earphones while the phone is charging in my room. I think it's relevant if you're interested in music quality.

5)I went for 128GB. Better safe than sorry. It's not something you can fix later.

6)The phone is cold even when I play for a long time, and even if is charging. I may have read somewhere that after multiple benchmark tests one after the other the scores may go down, but it's an unrealistic scenario in normal usage.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] nighthawk696969:
Agorina, if you are a flashaholic, then the clear choice is the Pocophone. Having to wait 15-30 days to unlock the bootloader was a torture (Luckily i flashed Global Dev Rom in the meanwile and it was a night and day difference on many aspects).

Coming from an S8, i couldn't imagine my self going back to an IPS display.

Headphone jack is not an issue, the type c to 3.5mm is always attached on my earphones, so it doesn't really bother me.

I personally have the 64GB and untill now i am satisfied (totally depentant on your personal needs).

I haven't noticed a thermal throttle, but i only play light games (no PUBG).

i am currently on a custom ROM (Havoc OS), custom kernel (Sphinx btw made from a fellow Greek dev) and have dual speaker mod running.

Long story short : If you base your selection solely on the rom and general tweak availability then the Poco is a clear winner. Also, if you are tight on your budget, then the Poco is a good pick.

In any other case, i think Mi 8 is the winner.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Silvahawk:
Hi everyone! Wondering if you guys may have heard of or are familiar with an issue I recently came across. First I'll rattle off my specs.

LGV20 H91820f

Oreo 8.0.0

Rooted using Lafsploit

TWRP Recovery

Magisk Manager

Textra Texting App (This is important)

The issue I am having seemed to have started rather recently and specifically occurs the most when receiving and sending text messages. I have noticed that in some cases, when sending a text, it will vibrate once sent. This does not happen on all texts and is even intermittent on the texts that it does happen with. I have looked through Textra and have not seen any settings which do that. The other issue is, prior to receiving a text my phone will do a long vibrate, then once the text is received, I will get the vibrate pattern I have set up. Again, I have not seen any settings in the App or in the phone that indicate why that would be happening. I have disabled the default messaging app to see if that might be interfering in some way but to no avail. I haven't found too many answers searching online. Anyone have any other insight or possible solutions? Feedback is greatly appreciated. If you need any more information about my setup, please let me know.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
It seems to be noticed mostly with keyboard. And never lasts more than a second or 2 at most and then starts working again. It's such a short pause it's hard to notice unless you are really interacting with the device a lot for awhile like typing a really long message or doing a lot of scrolling. Could easily never be noticed since the pauses are rare and only a second or maybe two and then it's back to normal. I suspect a real update that isn't one of these patches with maybe some kernel optimizations and CPU optimizations will fix it as it seems to be related to something with the CPU or GPU tuning maybe even.

Anyhow if anyone else is noticing such a thing please reply and confirm I'm not alone....it's not biggie, but if I am doing a lot of texting it does become more apparent and annoying...rarely notice it just scrolling on a web page as I read as I probably miss most of the pauses as they happen easier than when doing a lot of typing...basically disrupts flow less then.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
I should add the keyboard pauses are pretty much identical whether I use Gboard or swiftkey. Pretty sure any will do it as I get exact same pausing when scrolling around web pages.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
I have to add that this gets more annoying the more I encounter it. I suppose it's about once per 500-1000 characters or so...but pretty random so maybe a lot more or less. Just not rare enough to no annoy a few times a day if you are sending lots of messages!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Guess I am the only one noticing this? I hadn't started fresh from the get go....I did bring over all the things from a Mate 9...settings and apps and data and all...but doesn't seem related to any app or anything in particular. Just minutia I think I have noticed in the custom ROM realm that can happen if you get a kernel that isn't optimized well. Somehow guessing it will be gone next update...but L29 first real major optimization update seems to be slow to come. Any word on official Euro launches anywhere? I could see a majore L29 update push setup for something like that when it happens.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] maquan:
Count me in. Typing with swiftkey is better but still got typing issue here and there
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Swiftkey is doing same things and so does scrolling...jist more rare with scrolling seems most common in the Google messenger app. I may resest after update...but if my case is unique I figure it's just related to me always restoring messages and such in some apps even if I start fresh. No reason that shouldn't work though. Had always worked on Mate 9.
