[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] iFrankZagarino:
Yes you're not alone with that. I am looking for a clean solution myself.

I like MIUI a lot. But it's bloated with too many stuff. So I was thinking of changing to the China ROM - seems to be a good choice - but there's no support for LTE Band 20.

I found a thread for debloating MIUI 10 on a Poco F1 - maybe you check this. It offers two scripts for heavy debloating. Maybe some changes to the script will work good with the MI8.

And there's is a debloater for PC in the MIUI Forum .

Then there's globeROM with their ROM-Builder which is a good start for debloating. But it comes with GAPPS, so you would need to debloat it manually by yourself.

To free a ROM from Google, a good start is the NOGAPPS-Setup Guide from shadow53.

Right now I am on MIUI 10.2 PIE globeROM without GAPPS. It works fine though. But I miss some Stock items and the lack of the xposed Framework makes me think of going back to Stock MIUI 10 Oreo.

And finally a solution for your Cameraproblem is on it's way. There's a camera port for Xiaomi Camera App for AOSP ROMs.

Checkout the news here and the thread for flashing the app here.

What is the best solution for it free or cracked?
[General Topics] ekksman:
i think the mention of cracked software is frowned upon on this forum. there is several free messenger services available many on this forum also by using the search facility you will be able to find which one is suitable for you.

So have dark mode on the Google Feed (or discover, now, etc) when accessing it by swiping from the left. But it's still not dark mode when getting to the feed via opening the Google app itself. Is that abnormal?

i guess this only works if you are using the pixel launcher....i use nova and when i open the google app its not in dark mode.

I believe that to be the case. I have a pixel 2 for work and use pixel launcher and it is dark theme. My personal pixel 2 xl also on Nova and Google app is not dark. I have both phones set to dark mode.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] geronimo52xx:
I bought a new G6 (unlocked) for my sister, who lives in another state. She activated the new phone last night (Mint Mobile). When she got to the screen asking for entry of a password to protect against unauthorized use she entered a complex password (she didn't know she could just skip that screen). She wrote the password down, but now she can't find it. I called her this morning and she was able to use the fingerprint scanner to open the phone enough to answer my call, but she can't get to her apps.

I am aware that this sounds a little "fishy", but I didn't know where else to turn. Is there any way to reset or remove that password? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Jerry
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Bluemgt06:
She can boot to recovery and reset the whole phone, the only option if bootloader is locked.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Got to wipe the phone and start over. tell her to make sure next time it's a simple password because she's going to have to use it every time to unlock the device if she has a screen lock set to password. even if it's set to fingerprint you have to enter the password anytime you reboot the device to unlock it the first time.

It's there to prevent unauthorized use so no there's no way around it. Except for factory resetting. even then make sure she logs in with the same Google account because she probably enabled factory reset protection as well.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] geronimo52xx:
Thanks for the suggestions. I walked her through the factory reset procedure, but when she tried to set up the phone and entered her Google credentials the phone said "searching" and wouldn't go past that screen. She finally called Motorola and they said if I could send proof of purchase she could forward it to them and, if approved, they will ask her to send them the phone and they will send her another new phone. She is still waiting,:eek:
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
That's a bummer. They should send another one though. It's covered since you didn't unlock the bootloader.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Ashik_salim_:
hey,

so i had bought this phone and updated to android pie immediately. I wanted to install gcam so I unlocked bootloader, booted twrp (without flashing just booting) and ran the adb commands. But gcam app still kept crashing. I read somewhere that this method didnt work in pie so I ran Fastboot flashing unlock_critical and downgraded to oreo september update using miflash tool.

After everything was done, I immediately tried updating to November security patch update and after the update downloads, the installation fails (saying "installation problem" ). I dont believe I have updated any system or boot partitions doing these steps.

Anybody know what's wrong and/or how I can get it working?

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] l0rds0ft:
I replaced successfully my display. As soon as I close it (putting back and front part of case together) my phone shuts down immediately and booting is not possible anymore. When plugged to the charger the LED is blinking (white). So I switched back to my old display only to observed the same behaviour. Without the back part of my case both displays are working and I can boot the system. Also my phone is working when connected to a charger without any battery attached.

Anybody has a clue how can I close my case without ending up in the EDL mode? Should I replace the battery? Currently my battery is only 80% charged!

EDIT: I manage it to close the whole case. By doing it really careful and slow. But after I reboot or shut down the phone. Same behaviour cannot boot and plugged to a charger the LED is blinking! I have to reopen the case to boot my phone.

EDIT (2): After a while my phone is shutting down to restart it I have to take off the back part of my case, plug my phone to the charger and then boot untill system starts. After that I can close it carefully again.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ayunatsume:
Just suggesting the generic things in case you missed them:

Check if you're shorting out something. You might also be putting too much pressure on certain components when you close it up -- align properly. Check that your ZIF and flex cables don't misalign when you reassemble the phone.

I'm not familiar with our A1's LCD -- but you may have used too much or too thick glue causing more pressure than normal.

Your device is stuck in bootloop. Turn off your phone by removing battery. If you can't remove battery, hold power button volume down and home button to get into download mode. Get your stock firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin. If you need instructions on how to flash stock firmware, just ask me.

Good morning,

I have rooted the phone and debloated it. But I saw some interesting looking apps like gravitybox and xposed; is there a way to install those on a S5 G900V, CID 11 phone? Or because of the locked bootloader we cannot use those?

Any recommendations for stock replacements for calling app with call recording, texting app that allows mms sending over wifi, apps to change phone themes (settings menu design)? Any recommendations for interesting apps for rooted phone?

Thank.

Hi,

I'm searching for a piece of free or paid software, which can make some of my SMS private, but still will be fully integrated into WM Outlook. It should work with threaded SMS model, known from WM6.1 and should be able to suppress new SMS notifications for selected contacts. Also ability of importing SMS threads from common inbox will be great.

Do you know about anything that can help me and also others with the same problem? Please, tell us ,-)

Thanks in advance for replies
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tft:
there is a program called Ez Secret SMS by CelSoft that has privacy features for sms... like password protect sms inbox, etc.. i think it's commercial though... search around and it's on the net for free as with anything else.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nocturne.op.15:
thanks for reply,

EZ Secret SMS is not the thing i'm looking for.

Its integration into pocket outlook is - none. It uses separate "mailbox", program itself acts like calculator for users that don't know about it. It cannot handle threaded sms and you cannot use strong passwords, just numbers (!). There's no information about strength of internal database encryption mechanisms. It's a kind of "security through obscurity", not a real security product...

but again, thanks at least for an idea ,-)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] chikabrika:
I did a relatively normal flash of both TWRP and root with Magisk, no issues booting. However this message came and after 5 minutes didn't go away so I fiddled around and tried to turn it off (couldn't). The phone takes no input and nothing I do allows it to enter fastboot or recovery. ADB and Fastboot do not recognize it since it's basically in a pre-boot state. I waited 20 hours for the battery to finally drain just to get this message right after I got it charged enough to boot again.

Any help? I just got this phone yesterday hahahha.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Hold down the power and volume up buttons.

This is a known issue when running Magisk, etc. The phone is not bricked.

No. I really don't enjoy using EMUI.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I think it's an excellent phone but just the fact that I live in the USA where the M20P has no warranty or support makes it difficult to recommend. EMUI also will turn off certain people and the aggressive battery management is kind of a love it or hate it thing. I would buy this phone again but recommending it to a friend is another matter.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] j0ff:
Not decided yet... Memory management is far too aggressive. The rest of EMUI I can live with at the moment. It's very hard to ignore the amazing battery, screen and camera. I came from a note 8 and it was a close run thing between the mate and the note. Time will tell!

Today I looked at the Google pixel 3xl and the 1+6T the oxygen os is great far nicer than EMUI. But for some reason I kept getting drawn back to the Mate 20 Pro. The camera and battery life are something else.

Man I'm torn.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] mwatson:
why not give it another try? my concern is how long huawei will support the device for. They have no official time frame for firmware and security updates. At least you have 3 years with a pixel.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] pogi.paul0119:
Yeah looking forward on mate 30. Like the others that never had any single issue.. This phone is great in any aspect of everyday usage. Might buy another mate but let see how huawei would stand after the nonsense banning of their other services
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] colts187:
I bought mine off eBay. If I had to do it again I'd use wonda mobile. They'll actually check if it's a boe panel for you before they ship and they handle warranty. You'd have to ship to China but that's better than ZERO support from even the best eBay sellers. Huawei doesn't do international service so your sol here in the US.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Cherb1990:
Amazing phone.

I have had great experience! Nice battery life is the best perk no use in having the hardware to do things if the battery won't last! Also have a second one I bought for the wife and she's an iPhone user and didn't like it. If anyone is interested send me a personal message
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] martaponce:
I know for sure, I would buy it again, it has given me a great service
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] d0dgebizkit:
My only nitpick with this device is the gesture control, so I'm back to 3 button mode. The native Pie gestures work brilliantly, I don't get why Huawei broke it. That's not a deal breaker for me. It's the best phone I've ever used, better than the pixel or note. I'm unashamedly a huge fan of pure Google Android/ asop and use Nokia 7 plus as my second phone, but nothing comes close to my experience with the Mate 20 pro.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
You can change that in the battery settings for running apps. Just let the big apps run in the background like games and they won't close. It's all about choice.

All my apps stay open all the time unless i've bloced them.

I wouldn't buy Huawei again, but I would recommend it.

The note 9 is the same as the mate, except with less battery life, slower charging, worse camera, and same aggressive app management unless you tweak it yourself.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] mwatson:
why would you not buy Huawei again?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Daniel Hjelvik:
No.

Because of green tint, emui, how notifications are handled, and lack of customization options.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] hawkerpaul:
I've been on Samsungs since the S2, so this was quite a change for me, so at first I didn't like the general UI side of things (especially the AOD compared to Samsung's is pretty basic), but I have to say its grown on me.

Speed/fluidity etc on the hardware wide of things are excellent

Fingerprint detection can be random at best, but I'm amazed at the speed and reliability of the face recognition, especially when its dark

Also amazed at the battery life

Shame there's no SD slot. Would be much easier to just take all my music etc from my S7 if it had one. No problem as internal storage isn't an issue, but I'd have preferred an SD slot all the same.

Biggest gripe for me is the notch, or should I say the lack of statusbar icon space.... If you set to "hide" the notch, I would rather there be an option to drop the icons down a line so that a full row of statusbar icons can be seen (I'd rather lose 4-5mm of the screen and gain a full statusbar)

Notch aside, yes, I would definitely recommend, but now I've finally made the plunge and broken away from Samsung after all these years, I think I'd probably go for whatever the current OnePlus offering is in 2 years time to see what thats like! :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] j0ff:
I've already changed those settings and they've made little difference. Perhaps I need to wipe it and start again (but to be fair, all I've really done is install nova and some Google apps).
