[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
I'm guessing by Athens you mean athene? If so, athene is the device codename for the Moto G4/plus (2016). Custom ROMs and software designed for athene should work on our services, though please check the release dates of such software. That also means software built for another device codename may not work.

A kernel is part of the software communicating between the hardware and the software. Custom ROMs will come with one usually. If you choose to flash another kernel, ensure you flash the correct type of kernel - there are kernels for stock 7.0/6.0 (Motorola), 7.1 (custom) and kernels for custom 8.1/9.0 ROMs. These may not be cross compatible and as such if you flash the incorrect kernel to your device your device may fail to boot (buy then that's what TWRP backups are for). Due to the lack of source code for stock 8.1, I've not seen custom kernels built for the stock Motorola 8.1 stock ROM yet.

Thank you sir for guide me about athene and kernel ,so i choose custom rom only made for athene and kernel is also built in with custom rom.

I did not get proper answer from link you send ,please help for this..
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Should be the same process to unlock your bootloader, provided your motherboard is the same and you've still got your IMEI and software channel.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] keval3492:
Can you elaborate what you said about motherboard and IMEI ,i am getting that method is same as nought but after that line i don't understand.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
When you unlock your bootloader, you need the unlock key. The unlock key is likely generated from and linked to your motherboard; if your motherboard had been changed, then you'd have to get a new unlock key.

If your IMEI is still present in your device and working, the unlock key should work. Some users with existing IMEI issues may not be able to unlock their bootloaders.

Basically, if your device is the same when you requested the unlock key, and everything is working okay, then unlocking should be the same as Nougat without any further steps. Back up, boot to fastboot and connect your device to your computer, then enter the unlock key command - with your key - on your computer in the minimal ADB terminal.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] keval3492:
I changed my motherboard once and after that I unlock my bootloader also ,but I brick my device by installing 64 bit rom on 32 bit twrp version and after that I lock my bootloader and start as a fresh device till now.

Same key is still working for me as I want unlock my bootloader??
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Should be - use the same key as you used to unlock your bootloader before (after you had your motherboard changed). Be aware you will not be able to re-lock your bootloader if you unlock your bootloader at the moment. We do not have the Oreo firmware to lock stock Oreo devices or devices previously updated to stock Oreo firmware.

So Im creating my first ever app and I cant code so I used buildbox. Im trying to make my game into an apk but when i put it into Android Studio it says:

ERROR: Unsupported method: AndroidProject.getVariantNames().

The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.

To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.

Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
I have a GS5 that I dropped and broke the screen. The phone is fully functional except for the screen not displaying or the digitizer working. The phone is rooted on Lollipop and WiFi and USB debug mode are turned on. Bluetooth is turned off. Titanium backup is installed but for some reason wasn't running scheduled backups for some reason.

I have recovered contacts, photos, etc. I have not found a way to recover application data yet.

Based on what I have found, the only options to recover the app data seems to be either dr.fone or replacing the screen at least temporarily. I have a quote from a local shop who said they would recover the data by temporarily installing a screen for $80. I could buy a new screen for less than that, but I don't want to use the phone as there's some damage to the case etc and it's old anyway. I have a new GS5 (a donated one) that I've already got up and running. All I need is the app data. As for dr.fone, it says it can recover the data, but it needs root...which I have.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get dr.fone to work? Or, is there another option I'm not thinking of?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
The other thing I've read is that I could simply plug the phone into a HDMI TV and it will automatically display. If so, I would simply need to get a hub compatible with the phone so I could also have my wireless keyboard/mouse installed. Is that a viable option? If so, I could run titanium backup normally and then just copy the data to the new phone.

I use the app SMS Backup And Restore to backup & restore SMSs.

However when I do a restore I find that even SMSs that I had

deleted before

making the backup are restored.

I contacted the developer (who by the way replied very promptly) and was told that perhaps the app I use to view/delete SMSs did not really delete the SMSs but was maybe just putting a deleted marker/flag on the SMSs.

I use (Google) Messages to view/delete SMSs.

Can someone shed some light on this. I don't think I'm the only one having this problem.

Is there a way to permanently delete SMSs?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] beejkitsune:
So I've recently bought a 3XL and, coming from a Mate 9 (awful replacement for my 6P when Huawei couldn't repair it after the mobo died) which was rooted and flashed with a treble ROM to get to as stock as possible I've vowed I won't root my 3XL (primarily because I have a banking app that seems to detect Magisk regardless of what I do about it).

I am wanting to grant some permissions to Tasker by adb however anything I seem to do will not give me the prompt on my phone to authorise the device fingerprints and allow me to run adb commands.

I have Ubuntu 18.10 and the latest version of android-tools. I have searched Google and XDA and followed all the usual troubleshooting methods: different cables, USB ports, toggling debugging under developer options changing the USB configuration.

I'm really hoping someone can offer some suggestion.

TIA!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] NepoRood:
Fastboot boot TWRP for Pixel 3 XL, it doesn't have to be installed. Then, on your Ubuntu installation, open a terminal in your Home folder

cd .android
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

Alternately, you can navigate to the .android directory in your Home folder and open the terminal, but the push command is the same ;)

Reboot the device and you should now have authorization.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Preface: I have been using smart phones and making ROMS for them long before Android existed. I say this to bring a little bit of insight to my experience with these devices...

I dont know, maybe its just me. It feels as if One UI is step back toward the original TouchWiz on the likes of the Galaxy S3 and the Note 2. Im not a fan right now. I was really enjoying Oreo on this device and may have to consider reverting back until I am officially forced to take the OTA from T-Mobile (whenever they push it).

I would like others input on the OneUI change from Samsung Experience. Feel free to chime in and say what you feel.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Not a step back. Samsung strove for a more minimal overlay; I think they did a good job.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I dont think its terrible. I just get that old Touchwiz vibe from it. I think its the "flat" overlay as you are suggesting. Reminds me of the flat overlay of the Note 2 and S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I tried the leaked One Ui, then the official OTA through At&t. I have since went back to ARL2 Oreo and couldn't be happier. I have been flashing since Samsung Infuse and Captivate. I kinda agree with your observation[emoji106]

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

I mean its not horrible...but for me..and its just my personal opinion, the Oreo feel is better for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
hate it too but if you compair looks vs performance,

i take performance any day of the week.

that being said. i have been getting good battery life with a very fluid/fast experience.

lets face it. might as well get used to it. Let's just use PIE as a stepping stone for something greater. It's our Windows Vista, if you will, of the android variety.

edit:

oh and something that everyone seems to forget is that OneUI was meant to try and slim down everything to be able to use it efficiently with one hand.

so if you take that into consideration, it might help to make more sense.( doesn't mean we have to like it lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zedwards:
My main complaint is the color of the icons are a bit much. I got rid of the calculator which I usually have on my main screen and downloaded the google one just because the color was so bad.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I do have to admit one thing about this upgrade, it did go very smoothly. I will give Samsung credit for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
I like the update but I think it has to do more with the fact that its an update and it's different. Imo The Samsung experience UI is more polished than One UI as of now. In fact I think that if OneUi was the old version and Samsung experience was the newer version it would be more popular. Let's face it, OneUi is more cartoony while Samsung experience UI is more classy. But I still like the update nevertheless and wouldn't go back to Oreo if I had the option because this is a change. I had the S8, note 8, S9 and now note 9 so the new UI is a breath of fresh air.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
Step up, but they should had put the multiwindow functionality from nougat/oreo... right now it feels more like an iphone than multitasking powerhouse (and if I want an iphone experience regarding functionality, I will go with iphone as it's smoother + the SOC is a lot more faster).

If they made a goodlock module for the qs panel that doesn't only change colours but changes the layout too then people who liked oreo could be happy. Like pentastic allows you to select note 4 air command so why doesnt quickstar allow us to change our quickpanel to older touchwiz and Samsung experience etc. And sound assistant should allow you to select older volume panels too. And maybe even create custom sound panels and notification panels so anyone who wants anything different like miui panel they can have it.

How to port a XIP:

Extract xip.bin from the build you want to port from

Download Bepe's XIPPort

Extract XIPPort to any folder

The folder should contain XIPPort.exe, pkgcommon.dll, and xip.bin you want to port.

Run XIPProt.exe

Press "Dump xip.bin" - This will create an OUT folder

Press "Make Pkgs"

Open the OUT folder and you will find two folders: Files and Modules

Copy the contents of MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK with each folder (Files and Modules) and paste them to /ROM/XIP folder and replace. (Note: Don't worry about copying the .txt files, they are not needed.)

Source

How to port a SYS folder

Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder

Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell

Source

Q&A

Q: What is the XIP?

A: It's the kernel of the ROM.

Q: What is the SYS folder?

A: It's where all the new apps included in each Windows Mobile release are stored.

Q: I did all this and I bricked my phone, help!!!

A: First, rest assured. Your phone is not bricked. See THIS thread on how to unbrick your phone. Secondly, refer to Q&A #4.

Q: This is too complicated... but I still want to port my own ROM. What should I do?

A: Easy. Use my EasyPortOven and the process will be automated.

Q: Where do I get the latest SYS folders? XIP's?

A: I don't know... Your guess is as good as mine. I just download Kaiser ROM's that have them since they tend to have the latest and greatest first. Do NOT PM me asking me where to find them.

Ivan:

Can XIP or SYS folders be ported over different language ROMS?

Say... I have my spanish HTC WM6 ROM, can I port an english WM6.1 over it to obtain an unofficial spanish WM6.1?

I assume the XIP folder could be ported but porting the SYS folder would end with a spanish ROM and multiple applications in WWE (without even starting to think about localization codes troubles)

Thanks.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
You'd have to go through every file in the OEM folder and find every misdirected link (because of the different language) as well as replace every MUI. So in short, no it's not possible unless you have a LOT of time and want to work really hard. What I would do is just use any of the readily available Spanish Herald ROMs to obtain your OEM files.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] itje:
mm this is a "fast" and dirty way:

If you use in.ex a 19199 build (0409 wwe)

you need to extract all mui files from 04xx (your langauge from another build, if you use wm6.1 you need to use mui from another wm6.1 build)

rename them from 04xx to 0409, replace all in you 19199 build with the new renamed ones

this can be done both in OEM and SYS

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] homer285:
Thanks for your reply, yes I did.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Are you using the imgfs.bin/os.nb from the Atom? The only time I've seen that is when you're using the imgfs.bin/os.nb from another device. It "lines up" enough for the ROM to work but somethings like the version numbers don't "line up." I'd need more information to find out what happened. Also, did you change the DPI of the ROM for any reason? or the DPI files?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] homer285:
yes Im using the Diskimage_Ver.nb0 from Atom in Rom folder, tried by hand and EasyPortOven same result, only build is porting not CE OS info. Perhaps I need a new XIP to try, anyway thanks for this great tool it really makes porting easy, seriously.

Edit: So the trick for me was the Atom needed porting directly, all modules must have address changed and then ported to diskimage_Ver via XIPPORT, drop into Kitchen/ROM folder along with everything mentioned here :D.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] rajathvsm:
Drivers?

What about the drivers and files specific to the device?

Is it included in the .VM folder? Is it not necessary to copy the .ROM folder too?

So, in essence, I have to just copy the folders you have specified to the new SYS and XIP folders and use BuildOS. To cook a light and clean ROM, only these two folders are enough, right?

BTW, what is the OEM folder for? In the kitchens, I have used, they contain a few folders like OEMAPPS, OEMDRIVERS, etc, which in some kitchens are placed in the SYS folder instead.

I don't know where to place those folders. Is the location of those folders irrelevant? I am kinda noob to cooking. I've played with it a lot of times with mixed results. I am building it for Tornado btw.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Things have changed a lot since I wrote this... but:

The drivers are in the OEM folder (as well as most of the device specific stuff.)

You need the OEM, SYS and XIP in order to make ANY ROM.

You can move your OEM into your SYS but it makes it harder to port newer builds to your ROM later on.

You only need the .VM folder, not the .ROM folder. The kitchen will autoadjust itself.
