Hi,

I have an Android project in Android Studio V3.2.1.

When I try to generate a signed APK for this project, I have 2 check boxes about Signature Versions.

Check the screenshot as below, please.

View attachment 4708253

My question is what's the difference between these 2 Signature Version options. If I will upload the APK to Google Play, which one should I check?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have got this Dopod C730 phone from M1. After using it, I notice that for certain Wifi connections, it cannot seems to get connected, eg Wireless@sg located at Jurong Point Mac and Amway Building, any my office wireless network and some other Wireless@SG. But I have no problem connecting to my home wireless and some other Mac/KFC wireless@SG.

I do get full signal strength for those wifi which cannot be connect, but however, when I try to connect, it will either shows connected for few seconds (but cannot surf) then die off, or cannot be connected. After which when I try again, my phone cannot detect any wifi signal anymore, even for those which can be connected also disappeared! I will need to soft reset my phone to get back the signal.

I have even tried to do a hard-reset (reset to factory setting) under Setting -> Clear Storage, but it doesn't help. The same problem remains. My colleages have Windows Mobile 2005 and Pocket PC 2003 and they have no problem connecting to these Wifi. So I am quite sure is the phone problem.

Have anyone encountered this problem before? Any solution to this as it is really a hassle as when you need wifi connection, you do not know which wireless@sg can or cannot get connected.

I have sent it for repair at SIS (Dopod Distributor) but after a week, I did not get any response from them. When I finally called them, they said no problem with the phone. Really a waste of time. Since made several emails to them but they don't seem to response promptly. I have even made an effort to record the problem own on video, sent to them, then they again never response.

Therefore I need those with Dopod C730 to go around to test the Wireless@SG and if you have this problem, do let me know and we can sent them up for compensation together. If you have any solution, do also let me know.
[Networking] e_gregious:
I have got the same problem connecting my JasJam (Dopod 838Pro) to my Draytek 2820Vn router at home. It detects the available network, looks as if it connects, then drops out. Eventually the access point shows up as "unavailable".

I could connect easily to my old Billion 7402VGO router, which used the same transmission channel (11). Other desktops, notebooks and my son's HP iPaq on PPC2003 connect fine.

Problem seems to be something in WM6 that disagrees with some routers, seemingly the more industrial-strength ones. I have referred the issue to Draytek, but as yet have received no illuminating response.

Not sure what OS your Dopod is running on, but if it's a WM6 variant, it's likely to a similar problem.
[Networking] mobo1:
I cannot offer a solution only to say that I have similar problems. Connecting to my providers 3G service and to my home wireless router can be a bit problematic but even when connected and I try to find a web page the service will disconnect after a time showing a blank web page with 0bytes downloaded. I am using a Dopod 838 Pro bought in Hong Kong and using in the UK. I am thinking about upgrading from Windows Mobile 6 to 6.1 in the hope that may provide a solution.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] repsol89:
Hello everyone.

Do you think the brand-new Moto G7 Plus is worth upgrading from our Moto x4? I have reteu 4/64 (220€ - 9 months ago) and I found a special offer for G7+ at 257€.

x4 pros:

- Front fingerprint sensor

- Ultra-wide second camera

- More compact

- Waterproof

g7+ pros:

- Bigger screen

- Better SoC (636 vs 630 - Qualcomm naming is a little weird, 636 is WAY better, it's basically an underclocked 660)

- Better main camera (OIS is a game changer)

- Stereo speakers

- Newest (updates, etc)

What do you think?

I would do it immediately. Unfortunately I do not have the money for it otherwise I would have already done that or would do it in the next few days.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ptn107:
I normally stick with the X line because I like nfc for mobile payments. This time, however, the hardware difference might make me go back to G even though no NFC on the US G7.

I use NFC too, but Italian G7 will have NFC so no problem for me.

Unfortunately the promo ended a few days ago, I'm gonna wait for some similar Amazon deals...

I like the smaller screen of the X4.

A better camera isn't going to make my pictures any better.

I use a mono bluetooth headset so stereo speakers are useless.

I prefer 8.1 to pie and i am keeping my x4's on 8.1 for now. Works for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] HugoPolymorph:
Hello,

I'm trying to make my Redmi 6A boot on charge when off.

So I unlocked the bootloader (waited for 2 weeks :silly:) then tried the command:

fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0
FAILED (remote: not support on security)
Finished. Total time: 0.001s

Off course it would have been too easy...

Do you know any other way to make that phone boot on charge when it is off?

Thanks.

LineageOS Description:

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

What's working :

- Boots

- Display

- Wi-Fi

- Audio (except .wma, use VLC Player for that)

- Video

- Sensors

- LED

- Double tap to wake

Bugs:

- Camera (not working)

- Battery drain (because the camera service is restarting endlessly)

- The screen is reversed for about 3 seconds during the boot animation (won't fix)

Untestet:

- RIL

- Bluetooth

- GPS

Firmware:

Oreo firmware (at least for modem) is recommended, but Lineage 15.1 should also boot with Nougat firmware.

Kernel Source:

Github

Download:

Folder with all versions

lineage-15.1-20190218-UNOFFICIAL-X00I

Flashing notes:

You will need TWRP 3.2.2-0 or higher to flash this image. You can download it from here. See this thread for further information.

Warning:

[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
I tried it, and it's really really smooth, I can't wait for an update, if of course you plan to do one :) RIL and Wifi didn't work for me sadly, otherwise I would've kept it as a daily driver I really love the stock Oreo UI, thank you for your work, we always appreciate it
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
Thanks :).

Wifi doesn't work? Well that's a problem, because I can't fix this. For my device Wifi works without problems and I can't fix bugs which I can't reproduce on my device.

I have the Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL with MSM8937 (Snapdragon 430), 3GB RAM and 32 GB Memory.

Are there multiple versions of the same device out there?

Edit: Make sure, that your modem firmware is for Android 8.

At the moment I concentrate on the camera bug, but that will take some time (because I'm on vacation in the next week).
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
Yeah I have the same device as you :) although on CPU-Z it shows that I have a snapdragon 435 which IDK if there's a difference between the 430 and the 435, but yeah I have the 5.5 inch model with 32/3 GB RAM and rom
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
Here it is
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
The Snapdragon 435 (msm8940) is a different SoC. Maybe the WiFi driver, which I integrated in the kernel doesn't work for this SoC (I used the Wifi driver from the Xaomi Kernel for msm8937). Does your phone has already the Oreo Firmware?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ashye:
Thats amazing.

I'll wait for the camera and battery drain fix before i test it.

How much internal space does the rom takes?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
Yes I do have Oreo ? are you sure it's a different SOC? My phone is the same model as yours and the processor speed and graphics processor is the exact same as well, is it just showing Snapdragon 435 to me? I mean I can't have a special phone, I just checked my phone details on another app and it shows 430, online I compared the 430 with 435 and the main differences were the ram speeds and the clock speed, from the 430 was 1.2 ghz while the 435 was 1.4ghz, but on the app that shows that I have a Snapdragon 430 it said 1.4 ghz so I'm hella confused now ?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
Thanks :).

The system takes not more or less then Lineage 14.1 or Stock ROM. The size of the system partition is fixed by the vendor (ASUS).

Theare are two versions of this phone. the regular Zenfone 4 Max 5.5 und the Zenfone 4 Max 5.5 Pro. The pro version have a Snapdragon 435:

"Powering the ZenFone 4 Max Pro is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 octa-core CPU clocked at 1.4Ghz, Adreno 505 GPU, and 3GB RAM. The only difference with the ZenFone 4 Max is the processor and it’s not even a big improvement. The SD435 has all the features of the SD430 with the addition of Snapdragon X9 LTE modem capable of LTE Cat7 downlink and LTE Cat13 uplink."

[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
But I don't think I have the pro version, my cameras are 13mp+5 ???
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
Ok thats strange. But the fact is, it works on my device (so there must be a difference between our phones). And I have no Idea, whats the problem or how to fix it. Do you have a logcat and dmesg log?...
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
Nope ? as soon as I saw the RIL and wifi didn't work I uninstalled it, maybe I did something wrong when installing? I think I flashed Magisk right after flashing the rom or it was that device decrypt zip file I forgot which it was, could that be it?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
You need the device decrypt file only on Stock ROM. And I didn't testet, what happens with magisk (I don't use this). But Root (the su zip from lineage) is already integrated. You can enable root in the developer settings (but System files can't be changed at this time, because the system partition is read only).
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LiiRulez:
Hey guys, I would like to know if dev will also develop something for the ZF4 Selfie (X00LD), because it's a good pen device that ZenUi cuts too much of its potential performance.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SammyInTheCity:
I'm not talking for the dev, but I think its hard to develop a rom for a device he can't test it with, and are there no forums for your device?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
Developing for a device, which I don't have is impossible. For the example for the Zenfone 4 I produced about 20 not booting Images before the first fully booting image. After every build, I need a device to flash it and see in dmesg and logcat whats going on on the device (luckily it is possible to connect to the device with adb shell during the boot animation before the system is up to watch out, why the image don't boot).
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LiiRulez:
I understand, it's a shame my X00LD is new, if I had another device I could start learning how to compile and do it, but ...

Using Android Studio, can I emulate a device like that?

if that's the case, I start my studies today.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Voldracarno:
Android Studio can emulate a generic android device, but not a specific device. You will need Android studio only if you want to develop Android Apps. For porting Lineage you don't need it (I even haven't installed it on my build vm).

Here is a short version how I build the Lineage image (I will complete/correct this tutorial, if I'm on my PC at home) (you will need a Computer with much RAM. 16 GB RAM is recommended)

1. For building you will need to set up a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM (so you should know how to use Virtualbox) (the Ubuntu VM have to at least 8GB RAM). Or better: Use a real Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Machine.

2. Then you have to execute the steps from this tutorial from "Build LineageOS and LineageOS Recovery" to "Downloading the source code".

3.After that you have to put the local manifest (I will post that file later) in the .repo directory and sync again.

4. Then you will need to download and extract a Stock image from the ASUS Website for your device.

To extract you must first decompress the system image file with brotli and than convert it with sdat2img. After that you can mount the image and copy all the files out in a seperate directory.

5. After that you cd in the device directory and exec ./extract-files.sh PATH_TO_EXTRACTED_SYSTEM_FILES

6. At last you have to cd to the Lineage build dir and exec the following commands:

source build/envsetup.sh

export LC_ALL=C

export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G" (if jack runs still out of memory during building increase the -Xmx value to 6G)

export WITH_SU=true (for integrated root)

lunch lineage_X00I-userdebug

make -j4 bacon (replace the 4 with the count of concurrent build jobs you want to use)

After that you you will find the flashable Zip in the out directory.

To rebuild after changes you can repeat step 6 (to rebuild only the changes files) or delete the content of the out directory and repeat step 6 (for a full rebuild).

And if you didn't close your terminal window you only need to exec the make -j4 bacon commend to start a rebuild.

To update the sources of android you have to run repo sync in the lineage directory.
