[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ha2ell:
thank you so much! its saying 4 days to wait so at least now i know!
[General Questions and Answers] Taboriious:
Im looking for a new phone. My main concern is being able to run without bloatware. I don't want to root the phone or disable via usb debugging. I'm looking for the most friendly out of the box phone that lets you inherently disable/uninstall apps you don't want as a user. Please exclude iPhone, I have no interest in using an iPhone.

Ultimately I want a phone that is responsive and I don't have to constantly be bombarded by app "notification" aka ads. I know some will allow better control of notifications but, I just don't want them running in the first place.

Thanks...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Good luck with finding a device that does all of that, IF it even exists, which I doubt. There is no such thing as an out of the box android device that doesn't have notification services running in the background, you will have to settle with using the user settings to disable/enable the notifications to suit you, regardless of the device you get.

There are devices that do not have manufacturer or carrier bloatware, but I suspect that what you would call "bloatware" isn't technically bloatware, they would just be apps that you would prefer not having on your device.

But honestly, based on what you say you're looking for, you will need a device that can be rooted in order to remove the things you don't want because what you are looking for doesn't come "standard" on any device that I know of.
[General Questions and Answers] Taboriious:
Im not worried about notifications, I know those can be managed. Im more concerned with apps that I dont want on the system and cant be uninstalled or disabled without root privileges. There are a ton of apps not needed, a slew of samsung as well as my carrier.

So, what Im being told there is no phone model by any manufacturer that comes rooted or allows you to remove all unwanted apps...???
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are plenty of phones that can be easily rooted after buying them then remove the apps you don't want.
[General Questions and Answers] Taboriious:
I understand there are plenty of phone that you can root. My question was are there any "open" by default, to which I was told no. Understood. The follow up question is, which are the most friendly to the rooting process. Some phones are more difficult to perform the root process than others I would assume. So, which are the best(overall well functioning phones) and the most friendly to the rooting process to avoid bricking or causing other issues with the phone
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The eaaily rooted phones were the Google phones, but when they released the Pixel devices, that was no longer the case.

In the US, it is more of a matter of which carrier you get the device from than it is about what device you get. Some carriers lock the bootloader on their device and some don't. The ones with locked bootloader are the difficult devices to root and flash ROMs, the ones without locked bootloader are easier but not necessarily "easy".

The devices that are the easiest to root and flash ROMs are the devices with MediaTek processors. They are also the easiest to unbrick if a problem occurs, but that only applies to the MediaTek devices that have a stock firmware that is available to the public, the ones that don't have an available stock firmware or stock source code should be avoided because they are near impossible to unbrick if something goes wrong. But, MediaTek devices are the cheapest devices and they aren't very well made. Some offer good specs but the hardware is inferior, a powerful car is no good if it won't stay together very long, if you understand the comparison. It's like having a cheap car that is easy to work on and make faster, but that is no good if the parts are not available to fix it if something breaks. You would be better off buying a car that costs more.

HTC devices are fairly easy to root and flash ROMs(but they do have some tricky stuff in the process) and they offer excellent software support, they make their stock firmware available and their stock source code available to make repairs and build ROMs.

Instead of asking which devices are easier, just look around, find some devices that you like, and then do some Google searches using that device's model number to see if root is available for that model and if custom recovery and custom ROMs are available for that model. I say this because it is more of a matter of which actual devices root and ROMs are available for instead of a matter of what type of devices are easier to modify. Take HTC, for example, "this" model number of HTC device might have root and ROMs but "that" model number of HTC won't. Or "this" model number of Samsung might have root and ROMs but "that" model number of Samsung won't. You need to look at this on a device by device basis, not by "type" or "brand" of device.

Do you see that you are looking at this with a top down view when you should be looking from the bottom up or jumping in and looking around. It is like looking at an aerial photograph of a town/city, you can see things about it but that doesn't tell you anything about the place, you have to be on the ground in the midst of the town/city to be able to really tell anything about the place. You can look for the most descriptive aerial photo but it still doesn't tell you anything. Stop looking for a photo, go actually take a walk around the town, then you will know what the place has to offer or not.

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] rock_poarr:
Hi guys.

I'm here because I did some edits in Leeco thermal-confs and I got a very good return!

Now, in kernel auditor, I can maintain the BIG Cores high speed fixed in 1800MHz and all cores on (and I can change when I want) and the LITTLE Cores high speed fixed in 1400MHz.

No more slowdowns using the interface, no more lagging and throttling in games. I tested Shadow Fight 3, Real Racing 3, Dead Trigger 2 and everything is running a lot better.

But, obviously, I'm getting some heat using the smartphone for longs periods. The temperature are about 44~50ºC. But still usable to me.

If you want to know the steps that I did, I can create a little tutorial... But I will just create if more people agree with this modification...

Hi, I'm sorry about my bad English.

I've been using Mate 7 L09 for a long time. And now began to bother me to use the unnecessary ram. I'm thinking about changing rom.

What do you think;

"Honor 6 Plus KangVip Full Port"

"Kangvıp"

Which one should I choose? Which is more stable?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benclarkk:
Hi all,

I was stupid and I sideloaded the wrong rom in TWRP and now my phone won't turn on. I'm not sure if it's hard bricked or not but when I try to do the thing where you plug in the phone and hold power and volume up the LED turns red for a few seconds then turns off, without anything showing up on my pc. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

How can you install Gapps? I have error messages with any type of gapps, ANY!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
You need to increase the system partition, only 60mb free in system partition after GSI install

It shouldn't be much different from any other proprietary driver, it just needs someone to pick it up for the MM3 and tinker with it.

Can any global Mi Mix 3 users confirm if RR has a memory leak like PE (and apparently Arrow and AEX) has? Looking for a pure pixel inspired custom ROM which doesn't have a memory leak when phone lock/fingerprint reader is used. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] raven213:
What is this memory leak? I'm running AEX and I'm on global? Im not having any issues.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ritchie888:
If you check out the Pixel Experience (PE) thread and search 'leak' you'll see a lot of people experiencing a major slowdown after around 24 hours which requires a reboot, although this only seems to be apparent for global phone users and not the Chinese version. I recently discovered that having a lock on your phone seems to be the root cause. I'm still experimenting, but it seems that enabling a fingerprint to unlock is the biggest cause, although I believe I'm still getting a bit of a leak with just the pattern enabled. Although I haven't tested myself, I've seen at least one user claiming the same leak is apparent in AEX and Arrow. I'd guess that the difference between the global and Chinese version is the initial ROM that we need to flash before PE/Arrow/AEX. I haven't had any luck flashing a Chinese ROM and then PE, always leads to a boot loop, whereas Chinese phone users have no issues with the Chinese ROM. Although I can flash PE with a underlying global Xiaomi ROM, it does result in this leak.

Do you have a lock on your phone? If so, do you mind if I ask what kind (password, PIN, pattern) and also if you have the fingerprint unlock enabled? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] raven213:
I have fingerprint with password
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ritchie888:
Interesting, thanks! I'll try AEX out and hope I have the same experience.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] raven213:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Party5999:
I've had PE, ARROW and AEX and no memory leak. In my opinion the best one is AEX but now I'm on EU, sadly, cuz of battery life, updates and camera stock (just for videos).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] raven213:
I love AEX lol. You really think EU has a better battery than AEX?? On it I'm able to get 8 hours of SOT . On stock it was like 6 which it's still good lol. Also on AEX you are able to run stock camera for videos lol that's how I have it setup as stock camera just for 60fps and gcam and also stereo speakers with Bluetooth working lol

You're right. I encountered the same problem and know how you feel.

Just download the "LR Team TWRP" for mix 3 (Google it) and root the device using the builtin function under "advanced". Reboot to recovery again after rooting and you will find GAPPS can be installed. Let me know if you still have problems.

Bootloop

I already flash RR img

Change size of partition

Mount system

And after all that I have error 64 during installation of Gapps

Can anyone help me with that ?

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Also If im wrong correct me, I make a list how to flash that IMG so can someone who already has working resurrection remix on mi mix 3 check if im right ?

install twrp

Make sure you have a custom recovery installed(TWRP is the preferred recovery)

Download the latest Resurrection Remix Rom & the latest GApps package

Boot into recovery

Perform a FULL factory wipe and wipe/system and dalvik cache as a precaution

Flash ResurrectionRemix Rom

Flash Google Apps package(Optional)

Flash Magisk Root(Optional)

First boot may take up to 10 minutes.

Boot into TWRP

Flash the GSI in TWRP

Get to a command prompt (I use the "adb shell" command from a connected computer but I suppose you could use TWRP's built-in shell.)

Run this command:

Code:

~ # resize2fs /dev/block/sde48

I just merge few post together as Im flashing my device right now
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] steveharman:
I've been flashing Android ROMS since the 4.x days but have never tried a GSI so maybe I'm missing something?

My device is a UK-sourced (Global?) Mi Mix 3 via Ebyuer.com.

The bootloader is unlocked and I'm on TWRP 3.3.0.0 .

I also have ADB installed on my desktop for work.

I've downloaded the

system-190406-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img

.img file from the link shown in post #1 and transferred it to my Mix 3. I've done a full wipe of my phone, gone into

TWRP > Install > Install Image > [selected the .img that I downloaded].

Everything completes without error, however, when I then reboot from TWRP I'm stuck in a boot loop following the "Mi" logo.

Is there a step that I missed?

Thanks,

Steve

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] steveharman:
Thanks. Now I have system-190406-arm64-ab-vanilla-nosu.img on my phone's internal storage, should I be flashing it to the System partition from the options that TWRP offers me?

TWRP > Install > Install Image > [select system-190406-arm64-ab-vanilla-nosu.img > "Select Partition to Flash image" ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] steveharman:
I still can't get anything but a bootloop after flashing system-190406-arm64-ab-vanilla-nosu.img - whether I do it from TWRP or adb / fastboot.

• Flashing from TWRP after a full wipe of System, Data, Dalvik & Cache takes about three seconds, says it's complete but then warns there's no OS installed when I go to the reboot option

• Flashing from adb / fastboot looks more promising:

% fastboot flash system "system-190406-arm64-ab-vanilla-nosu.img"

Sending sparse 'system' 1/4 (524284 KB) OKAY [ 12.332s]

Writing sparse 'system' 1/4 OKAY [ 0.001s]

Sending sparse 'system' 2/4 (524284 KB) OKAY [ 12.340s]

Writing sparse 'system' 2/4 OKAY [ 0.001s]

Sending sparse 'system' 3/4 (524284 KB) OKAY [ 12.459s]

Writing sparse 'system' 3/4 OKAY [ 0.001s]

Sending sparse 'system' 4/4 (36280 KB) OKAY [ 1.199s]

Writing sparse 'system' 4/4 OKAY [ 0.000s]

Finished. Total time: 38.339s

But then when I fastboot reboot I get the Mi logo for a few seconds, then a reboot. Then the Mi logo for a few seconds.... and so on.

And at that point, I end up needing the Xiomi Flash Tool to re-apply the stock MIUI.

I'm out of ideas. Can anyone suggest something to try?

Thanks,

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cuchma:
1. flash vendor through miflash. The latest developer firmware, with a tick "clear all" (all files on the internal memory will be deleted)

2.Download the GSI image of the desired firmware, unpack it and upload it to the phone (download image AB), also AndroPlus v09, GAPPS and Magisk .

3. Install TWRP by LR TEAM (version 0402 is required, otherwise you can forget about GAPPS)

4. In the recovery do all the wipes, except for the internal memory.

5. flashing the previously loaded img image of GSI in the system section.

6. go to the menu " Wipe", click "Adwanced Wipe", put a tick on the system and click "Repair or Change File System". Then click "Repair File System", then "Resize File System". (Without this, get error 70)

7. go to the "mount" menu and tick the system. (Without this, get error 64) Install GAPPS (if they are not present in the firmware).

8. Install custom core AndroPlus v09.

9. Install Magisk.

10. Go to the "Wipe" menu and click "Format Data", write yes (after that, all files on the internal memory will be deleted).

11.Reboot System
