[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeSeigneur:
Hello!

I have an issue with my HTC One M7; today it restarted itself and I saw in the display "android updating - apps starting" (or something to that effect, it's in german). I tried to force restart with pressing of PWR-Button but as far as I remember nothing happend (that was just in the crazyness of the workday so I'm not quite sure and didn't have a proper look).

Later then I wanted to charge the mobile again and start it but nothing happened; I just saw the HTC logo on white background and then the Vodafone logo appears, it freezes and restarts again; sometimes is already freezes at the HTC logo.

Just before it went further, it kinda booted, the "android updating - apps starting" appeared again (battery was ~40%); after 30-40 minutes the mobile was off again; starting went as far as the HTC logo and then black again; I connected the charger there were only 3% left.

HBoot / FastBoot / Fastboot USB I can access

When I chose Recovery it takes longer than usual till the menu appears; at first I see a mobile with a red question mark in the display until the menu appears; when I chose "wipe cache partition" it also takes unusually long until after the deletion I'm back in the menu.

A month ago I already some issues with the bootloop; back then it stated far enough that I could go into safe mode; I deleted nearly all apps and since then it worked again. Although I get an error when trying to get into the settings.

Does anybody have an idea? Is it possible to rescue the mobile or the data? (I think I have backed up most but not the recent texts)

Thanks in advance.

So I was rooted, twrp'd..all the things.

Saw an official TWRP release finally out, so tried to install it via TWRP flash....

Then it got weird....

Kept booting to TWRP recovery..

Then booted, but the bootloader animation I added was gone....booted into the stock 9.0 it shipped with?

Now says failed to apply update...

Flashed magisk again....substratum working...all seems normal but when I touch notifications system UI crashes....

Pretty sure I previously updated past 9.0....now says 9.0...

Thinking I triggered a restore to version it shipped with but now that it's rooted the partial OTA update fails?

Is that a thing?

Thinking I should 'update' to latest full .zip of t-mo version, flash TWRP, then flash magisk.

Sound right?

Any advice?

Thx!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] sxvinifp:
Hello, lads.

This is my very first post, so go easy on me.

I've bought, yesterday, a Mi A2 Lite and since then I am looking for some stuff to make me feel more comfortable with it. The Stock ROM is beyond acceptable, and having easy root with Magisk is amazing.

But the camera really bothers me, the stock app is boring and lacks features.

So then, I've start my adventure, looking for anything promising, I found a good Google Camera (6.1/5.1) mod, etc, today I found csabiii's thread (https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/mi-a2-camera-magisk-module-32sec-long-t3844208) about the Stock Mi A2 Camera, and its amazing features, such as Group Selfies, Multiple HDR modes, etc., but what caught my attention was the "32s Long Exposure", I tried it but it's outdated (Sep. 2018), probably for the early Oreo build, so I started to look for Pie versions but no luck.

I've seen something on Magisk's Repo that could function (MIUICamera v2 for whyred), but after softbricking my phone with Mi A2 Stock v4.5 module, I've given up.

So I came here, to ask you guys if anyone know about a functioning Mi A2 Stock Camera w/ Long Exposure, or a substitute that might do the job.

TL;DR: Any Mi Stock Camera that could/does work with Pie and has its Long Exposure. If not, could be just a normal Play Store app (paid or free), doesn't even has to be 32s exposure, 15 sec might do it.

Thanks in advance. :D

PS: Does anyone know if those ZommFix 3.1 zip change anything for Mi A2 Lite?

Enable cam2api and use Open Camera with it, plenty of features and options to configure.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] sxvinifp:
Yea, I was considering it. Is there too much quality difference? From GCam to OpenCam
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Hakkinan:
Major difference if you know how to set up everything properly. Open Camera only "lacks" that fake bokeh effect.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] sxvinifp:
I've tested it, many features indeed, I'll try to config it for better results. But I'm still looking for something "better".

About the Long Exposure, I've tried the Camera FV-5, but it kinda looks rubbish. Argh! Frustrating, tbqh.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Hakkinan:
Open Camera is as good as it can get with this device, it doesn't have great sensors to begin with.

Anyone?
[About XDA developers] DSA:
Theres quite a few threads on this subject, perhaps people dont feel the need to contribute to another one?
[About XDA developers] Passp0rt:
To your first point, I actually like the separate layouts for the different layers of the forum. I love modded forums in general, and I enjoy when forums step outside of the basic forumdisplay page.

As for the other points, I agree. I've spent the past few hours searching different forums for a few topics, and a lot of "general" info is split between a myriad of specialized, nested forums. I assume this helps the admins manage topic threads more efficiently. I'm sure it just takes some getting used to. I wouldn't describe it as "complicated" or "non-intuitive," just unique to xda. I run specialized message boards myself, and some forums are born out of general discussions that need to be compartmentalized for better management.
[About XDA developers] magicphone:
If I understand the whole situation, it goes like this: XDA has been around before Android was a thing, but got a high popularity boost with the introduction of Google's mobile operating system.

The original motto was along the lines of 'by developers, for developers.' But then a lot of new Android people came, not just developers, users as well and XDA couldn't keep up with the surge and you guys still try to find out ever since how to best manage such a huge and diverse community with developers and users alike, how to manage projects, bug reports, while maintaining a community of users, who might as well insightful feature requests for the projects. Does this sound about right?

So. Is the motto of the forum still supposed to be something like 'by developers, for developers,' or perhaps, it has changed?

Old, clip from your YouTube channel: You are a Noob on XDA-Developers. It's your second most watched video on your channel, actually. I just wonder if it's still the dominant attitude of you guys who run this place towards users (some of whom, perhaps want to remain users, just want to get out the most of their phones) and they should piss off and better go elsewhere, or perhaps you have toned down the communication and you are in the process of figuring out how this place could be more fruitful for all?

[About XDA developers] SeekingRest2019:
I Google searched to find this forum because I am just trying to understand XDA's layout. I'm currently using the app, and I am always so lost here. The only way I find anything at all is through Google searches. Right now I'm trying to understand this place's layout.
[About XDA developers] leahcimewol:
Yup same here from me. In general, have not found the XDA mods and Devs very helpful at all unless you're part of the inner circle of geek. Without wasting any more of my time trying to find a simple answer to a simple question on this convoluted diabolical forum I'm going to just join another more helpful more friendly, less up my own arse type of forum where you don't need to be a tech geek to get an answer.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] madferret1:
Hey sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this but I'm still new to the Xiaomi community, I bought a RN4 Global on August which came with MIUI 8. I was wondering if I should update to 9.5.10.0 ? I keep receiving the OTA update but right now my phone works perfectly and I've heard that MIUI 9 drains battery too fast and has other bugs as well, is this still true? Should I update to MIUI 9 (or even 10) ? Not really interested into Gcam and stuff btw.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] madferret1:
So you recommend MIUI 9 over MIUI 8? You think it's a good idea to update?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
The last version of MIUI 8 (8.5.8.0) was released in October 2017. I doubt whether it has a fix for BlueBorne (reported in mid September 2017) and for KRACK (reported in mid October 2017).

If you decide to use that version of MIUI, you better disable WiFi and Bluetooth.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Grovyle:
Hey all,

basically I ****ed up. I installed 9.0.0.161 through TWRP, forgot to clean everything so naturally while I had Pie running, everything was strange and slow working. When I went to TWRP and format everything (the option where you have to type 'yes'), it couldn't boot.

Now the only thing I can do is flash stuff over fastboot, and I tried flashing the system.img and kernel.img from the BLA-L09C432B157 (8.0.0.157) firmware. It didn't work, and I can't even access eRecovery or anything else than fastboot.

What should I do? I realize this has been my fault for trying stuff out without thinking twice. >.<

EDIT: I should say it's a European Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L09C432)

Hey guys,

I love the slide2unlock app. It's much less fiddly than the standard lock app, and it lets me play music with the device asleep. Winner.

The only thing that annoys me is the rest of the interface that it comes bundled with. I like turning my phone on and seeing my today screen at a glimpse.

I'd prefer if either:

1. The rest of the app disappeared, so only the bar remained, thus covering only the bottom bit of my screen; or

2. the whole app was transparent so I could see my today screen; or

3. It'd be AWESOME if someone could make the bar into a today screen plugin! If I had the technical knowhowI'd certainly give it a stab!

Any ideas anyone?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] gus_zernial:
I'm in the US, but have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G9650/DS unlocked "International Version" bought from Amazon, running firmware G9650ZCU3ARK1, which I believe means it's Region "Open China" and uses Snapdragon not Exynos. I want to upgrade Android Oreo to Android 9 Pie, and there's no schedule given for availability of the upgrade for this config/region.

I'm with T-Mobile and I think I can flash G960USQS3BRK2, which is for Region "TMK USA", and convert the phone to a US version, thereafter allowing upgrade to Android 9 Pie in January 2019. And I'd prefer to have a US phone anyway.

My basic question is whether my plan will work, and/or, are there any gotchas I need to know about

(S9 vs S9+, Snapdragon vs Exynos, locked/unlocked, T-Mobile vs Samsung Experience, some apps might not work, etc)?

Thx, Gus

There's a thread regarding this topic in this forum. As far as I've read and understood, the short answer to your question is no, it's not possible to flash the beta on our devices.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jakeythesnake:
Firmware BLA-L09C782E4R1P11B168 (9.0.0.168) FullOTA-MF has just appeared on Firmware Finder. I don't see any note of it anywhere on any other site - they only mention .161 for C432/EU region.

It looks like it snuck in quietly over the Christmas period: 19th Dec. A revised full build of .133 (our current latest OTA) was also added on the 20th Dec (I guess for the beta testers to roll back to?).

It is not a "FullOTA-MF-PV" update like C432's .161 firmware. I do not know what the extra "PV" stands for. Under download, there is the "update.zip" and then 5 options all labelled identically: "BLA-L09_hw_eu/update_full_BLA-L09_hw_eu.zip". Usually these are for the different models like L29 as well, no?

I haven't got around to unlocking my bootloader (I have a code backed up from before Huawei went bad) and flashing a custom recovery yet (aside: can someone tell me whether stock TWRP is fine?), but aim to do that soon with my free time over the holidays. If anyone flashes this firmware, let us know how it goes!

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] -Happy Feet-:
Hello look here for the latest Recovery. https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel.html

Flash the TWRP image over the PC.

fastboot boot recovery TWRP.img

Then Flash it via TWRP. (the zip file on your sdcard).

The device has an A and B Partition. It would Flash on both.

If you Flash an custom Rom you Flash it on A Partition you must Flash TWRP.zip again. Reboot the device. After an reboot to Recovery you on B Partition automatically. Here you can Flash Magisk and other zips like custom Kernel or other.

If you Flash the custom Rom on B Partition you must flash magisk and other stuff on A Partition.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
With Magisk 18.0 stable, some people have bootloops when

Best thing to do is just

boot
