Are you using the headphone dongle that came with the phone? I just tried my AKG ear buds and AKG headphones and both work fine. Maybe your case is interfering with the connector?

I agree, the huawei one is most likely wired different. For $12 USD it will save a lot of headache.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] shrimants:
The youtube app keeps defaulting to 480p for every single video. I kepe having to manually switch it to 1080p 60. I don't see any settings to manually force highest quality. This is the wifi only version. Anyone got a fix? What am I missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
What's your internet speed like? And are you using the default YouTube App? Download YouTube Vanced uninstall the crappy YouTube app that comes on the TAB S4! YouTube Vanced lets you override the resolution I’m running it al 2160p lol yeah I know most videos aren’t recorded in that high resolution but it drops down to 1440p or 1080p!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] shrimants:
I'll try the vanced app, is it on the play store? Or fdroid?

I have gigabit internet, it's not my speed. It still let's me select the higher speed, it just makes me do it manually every time.

I thought maybe it had something oto do with battery saving mode (mid power) but it made no difference when I turned that off

[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
I know the first comments on this post will be the pessimistic "if you are asking all these questions, then you will not be able to do this" type.. however, if that is the case, how did all the developers learn to build custom ROMs for their devices? They must have learnt from somewhere or by their own trial and error.. therefore they can share their knowledge if willing to do so.

My question is about the building of a custom ROM e.g. LineageOS for an unsupported device which has no device tree or anything of the sort, such as a BLU Studio X Plus.

I know the basic commands.. But I'm not sure of the full process for creating the necessary blobs for my device(s).

I am aspiring to be a developer myself, but need someone to teach me. If any of you are willing to assist me in my endeavour, comment down below, or you can even privately message me.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
They started by starting with smaller, less complicated developments/modifications to get some basic understanding. Then they started spending more time doing more diligent research, reading, reading again then reading again than they did spending time asking questions.

As for the "sharing their knowledge" for others to learn.... Well, that is exactly why there are hundreds or even thousands of guides and threads on the various types of android custom development on many different websites and forums. The issue you are having is based in the fact that all of the guides are written with an assumption that the reader already has some form of intermediate programming knowledge, they are not written for the proverbial "noob". Another factor is that none of the guides are an "all-in-one, everything you need to know from start to finish" type of guide, this is because there are too many differences in the various android versions, hardware architectures, SDK versions, APIs and etc. to make a guide complete enough for general usage on every type of device, there are specific things involved that make that an impossible task. So don't get your hopes up about some kind of miracle answer that takes the pain and hard work out of your journey.

Study the guides, start small, get good at what you start with, then work your way up, starting with trying to build something like a ROM with no previous programming experience, is not a good idea for a starting point.

There is no shortage of people coming to XDA wanting to be developers and asking for someone to help teach them, it just doesn't work that way, you gotta be willing to put the time into learning and figuring out at least 95% of it on your own, that is how they learned, why should it be any different for you. The cold reality is, those that truly desire it, seek it diligently without reaching out for a hand to do the "real" work for them, the ones that succeed and excel are the ones that climb the ladder themselves with very little help from the outside because they reach inside of themselves and apply themselves to their goal without quitting or losing heart or saying "this is too hard, help me".

First of all, it depends on whether the stock source code is available for your device, if there is no stock source code available to the public(no, I'm not talking about the stock firmware file), then you will not be able to build a custom ROM from source for your device, which means that you won't be able to build anything like LineageOS because setting up the device tree requires the stock source code. No source code=no device tree, no device tree=no LineageOS or AOSP ROMs. Devices that do not have a source code available can only get ROMs if someone chooses to port a ROM from a similar device with similar hardware, that is the only way to get a ROM without stock source code. The stock firmware would be required in order to port a ROM from a similar device, if the stock firmware is not available, you can't port a ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
Thanks for the advice.. I was hoping for something along the lines of a "I found a formula, you can use it to solve your problem" kind of answer.. But I understand your point of view. I was by no means asking for anyone to do the "real" work for me, just for a helping hand to point me in the correct direction. Most of the guides I see are just to create some basic files using the boot.img of my device.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I added to my post above, it might give you an idea of what is possible and what isn't.

Go to the LineageOS website and read the basic guide for setting up an android build environment, then read some guides for building ROMs for other similar Blu Studio devices.

Also, another important factor in whether or not a custom ROM is possible for your device is thst your bootloader must be unlocked or at least "can" be unlocked.

You also need a custom recovery such as TWRP(which you'd probably have to build for yourself, which is yet another task to learn in development along with learning to build a ROM, not to mention learning how to get the kernel right) in order to flash a LineageOS custom ROM or any other ROM that is not based on stock, TWRP is easier to learn how to build than a ROM, but still a task in itself. Modified stock ROMs can be customized and flashed without root or custom recovery but they aren't "true" custom ROMs, they are still fully stock underneath with some tweaks "on the surface".
[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
Yes.. I have made a TWRP for my device.. I also created a modified (rooted, debloated, updated) stock ROM.. But want to reach a stage where I'm able to make an actual custom ROM. I am currently flying through many guides to get an idea of what is needed.

I've set up build environments and built ROMs for Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (grandprimeve3g) but that device already had proprietary blobs made for it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok, so you have a decently basic understanding, that is in your favor. As for the blobs, is the stock source available for your specific device? That would help increase your chances of success. Are their any other models of Blu Studio or other device with similar hardware that have custom ROMs already available? If so, you may can put something together using some blobs from those devices and then filling in the blanks.

[MENTION=8801157]Alando123[/MENTION]

Can you get a ROM dump or system dump from your device?

I'm going to assume that you've read this and experimented with it?

https://wiki.lineageos.org/proprietary_blobs.html
[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
No, BLU rarely releases source for any of their devices, however I made a system dump using MTK Droid Tools. I also just stumbled upon the link to the LineageOS page about blobs right before you replied ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You should be able to use the system dump to generate vendor blobs by extracting them from the system dump or from a system dump pulled from a similar BLU studio or MTK device running a current LineageOS ROM as described in the first portion of the guide in the link that I gave you.

Also, there is a Lineage forum and a place to comment/ask questions on their github page.
[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
Hey, I currently ported several ROMs for my device.. the only problem I have with all of the ROMs are auto-focus and front camera (though camera is an issue for almost all ROMs, developed or ported at first). Most of the devices are similar, so, I'll do some digging and see what I can do about this. Or if I can develop a ROM, with some kanged blobs and some of my own, that will work, then fix camera piece by piece.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, stock camera is always an issue when building ROMs because stock camera is proprietary, this means the camera is a closed source software instead of open source software.

Generally, the "quick fix" is to use a 3rd party camera app from PlayStore such as Google Camera or A Better Camera(ABC camera). Try some 3rd party camera apps and see if any work.
[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
Yeah.. replacing libcameracustom.so results in the same issue with front camera, also even Footej closed when trying to use the front camera.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try more than just a few camera apps, try many, try several, try them all, one of them might work. It's aggravating and time consuming, but with patience, it might work out for you.

You might need to try an app and then if it doesn't work, uninstall the app then boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot and try another camera app, you might also need to try a factory reset along with wiping cache from recovery before trying another camera app because some things might be left behind from the non working app that you tried and it might interfere with the next app that you try. Factory resetting and wiping cache before trying the next app might increase the chances that it will work. If you try an app and it doesn't work, just uninstalling it before trying the next app might not be "enough" if it leaves something behind that prevents the next app from working.
[General Questions and Answers] Alando123:
I don't think that any camera app would have helped.. I replaced libcameracustom.so from a different device, and front camera works, but no both cameras have a blue hue on them

I am having problems with building lineageOS for my "Unsupported" Device I have made themed ROMS, Themes for cyanogenmod, Themes for substratum, basic apps for my ROM, and customized recovery and ported ROMS to my device but I need a small headstart to actually "Build" lineageOS for my device.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Brizzlemonk:
I have been searching for this on here for awhile to no answers, but has anyone ever places a GV40 in place of a GV30 in a Moto Z, Reason I'm asking is that I have a bad GV30, 3rd on to be honest, and getting sick of it failing consistently, and never heard much about the GV40s going bad. I know you need to do a little 'Modding' to the plastic around the chip on the battery, but I mean outside that, it's like the idea of placing the Droid Maxx battery into the Atrix HD phone? If anyone has any thoughts, please tell me cause I'm highly considering it.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] tsoump:
C'mon! It sounds crazy! Just check the dimensions between Moto Z and Moto Z force! It's much thicker...

I think it's not a good idea for ordinary usage, except of testing it.

If you feel your battery is bad try using regular chargers, not the turbo ones. Otherwise, if you want bigger capacity, something that cannot be done because there is no physical space to fit, you may try the extended ones: https://dropwow.com/product/684590

Let us know! :)
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Brizzlemonk:
Look at the batteries side to side (will post pictures when I get the GV40), they are fairly similar, really the biggest difference is the ribbon cable. They both have the little lip on the one side to cover up the little plastic piece on the side. The worst is just getting the board on the battery to fit properly, if I get this to work, I'll post pictures and work it out for people since I'm sick of burning through GV30s at this point with little success.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] tsoump:
We are expecting the photos. If you can find through the internet any dimensions of both batteries, post here.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

I did a research and I am petrified. Despite the fact that the dimensions of the phones are different :

Moto z : 153.3 x 75.3 x 5.2 mm (6.04 x 2.96 x 0.20 in)

Moto z force : 155.9 x 75.8 x 7 mm (6.14 x 2.98 x 0.28in)

There is enough space to fit the moto z force's battery, in my opinion.

Moto z battery (GV30) : 75.80 X 65.40 X 3.30 mm (2630mah)

Moto z force battery (GV40) : 70.80 x 59.82 x 3.48mm (3280mah)

But! There is a significant difference as regards as the thickness, which differs 0.18mm. This is supposed to be the main problem. The chassis may has gaps or bends.

Might not be a good idea for ordinary use.

*the dimension found in the following sites :

https://www.batteryship.com/htmlos/htmlos.cgi/batteryship/catalog.html?item=SNN5968A&model=GV40

https://www.batteryship.com/htmlos/htmlos.cgi/batteryship/catalog.html?item=SNN5972A&model=GV30
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Brizzlemonk:
So I did it, not as bad as I thought, the biggest thing you run into is the glass sits slight higher, but barely noticeable. Overall, the battery is doing it first test run for me seeing how it charges over night here, but I see nothing. In the morning once I look into it and see ho everything functions with it I will post all the photos I have going through it and what I needed to do to make it fit. Nothing much on that front, just a piece of plastic. Screen function is working right, plus any moto mods I had worked well thus far. Wifi, bluetooth are functioning, and the finger print with no issues. I'm just surprised others didn't think of doing this given the info the guy above me posted about the battery differences.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] tsoump:
Give to us more information about the whole procedure and the new-battery-lifetime. Do you see any big difference about Screen On Time (SOT) with the GV40?

Do you may have problems with liquids which can get inside from the new ''gap''?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] moemos:
No answere. What a pitty. :(

Since my battery is decreasing rapidly, I desperately ordered a replacement battery (LOSONCOER 3100mAh GV30, 9,53€) today from Aliexpress.

If the mod GV40 @ XT1650 is possible, please show us your work and the results. So that everyone who is willing to risk this mod can profit from your experiences.

Thanks!
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] blinkerss:
Because of this thread, i'm finally buying an GV30 and GV40 just to compare and prepare for the day i'm replacing my moto z battery

Note :

1. The main difference is the thickness, the GV40 is 0.14mm thicker than GV30

2. I take off all the GV40 black tape, but the GV40 still wider by about 0.2mm (but i think its not a problem)

3. The connector position is very quite identical

I'm sorry i'm not yet put the GV40 in my moto z, because my moto z still under warranty until April 19, maybe i'll put the GV40 when the warranty expires

Thanks
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] tsoump:
If you have a calipers, would you mind to verify (or not!) these dimensions I posted? Because they seem quite similar!

Moto z battery (GV30) : 75.80 X 65.40 X 3.30 mm (2630mah)

Moto z force battery (GV40) : 70.80 x 59.82 x 3.48mm (3280mah)

I'm looking forward to get the SOT of the GV40! :D
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] tsoump:
Any results guys?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] blinkerss:
it's not worth it:

1. gv40 will make gap more than 1mm between the screen and body, and your screen will bend when you try to glue it

2. gv40 battery socket/ribbon cable not 100% compatible with moto z, even though the gv40 socket is identical with gv30, but the socket position is make it harder to snap it into moto z, the only solution is using gv30 ribbon cable into gv40
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] esaad86:
So I replaced my gv30 with a gv40. Like others have mentioned, glass sits slightly higher, but hardly noticeable. I also have a case with a bit of a lip that covers that front edge so you can't tell. My question is: do I need to make any software modifications for the higher capacity battery? I am using LOS 16, root with magisk. Everything in the phone appears to be working perfectly although I don't notice a huge difference between the gv30 and gv40 in terms of battery life. Is there any modifications that need to be made for the phone to recognize the bigger battery size?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] m4f1050:
I just replaced my GV30, but I might consider doing the GV40 next time. I have a question, how is the front LED, proximity sensor AND front camera working? Does the camera work ok? No shadow on edges? When the LED turns on, does it affect the pictures? When placing a call, does the phone turn off the display thinking it's next to your face?

Thanks.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] esaad86:
Camera, LED and proximity sensor all working fine. Only thing I noticed is the notification light is a bit off, still shines just not as bright. Other than that no issues I've encountered. No shadows on pictures taken or issues with screen turning off during calls

I have installed only the dialpad portion of mobile3 (cubed). I like it, but after making one call, then the smart dial ceases to function. I uninstalled the application, but I guess your files replaced necessary files in the windows directory that I foolishly did not back up. I would rather keep the installer if I can make it work on the phone properly, but if not, can you tell me how I might go about restoring the original files in my windows directory. I am using a Cingular 8125 with winodws mobile 5. Thanks.
