I have asked about a solution for the various /vendor issues and haven't received any answer from anyone.

Finally I found out by myself how to fix it, and i'm here to share it with everyone.

If you're having problems when installing magisk, when trying to wipe (factory reset), if everything you try gives the /vendor failure and if you're trying to get rid of this new treble **** and want to go back to AEX 5.3 for now, here's what you should do:

1 - Format data (the option where you must type "yes" to confirm) on twrp, reboot your phone to recovery again.

2 - Now download the 4 files available in the original post (vendor2factory.zip; factory2vendor.zip; z2_plus_twrp_3.2.1-0_dmd.img and twrp-treble-1.img) and transfer them to your device.

3 - Now on your phone go to install and select install image. z2_plus_twrp_3.2.1-0_dmd.img and twrp-treble-1.img will show up. Install z2_plus_twrp_3.2.1-0_dmd.img. Reboot to recovery again.

4 - Try to flash vendor2factory. If it's successful, install twrp-treble-1.img and you're ready to go, explanation ends here.

5 - If it's Unsuccessful, install twrp-treble-1.img anyways and reboot to recovery again. Now try to flash Factory2Vendor_plus.zip and repeat steps 3 and 4. It should work. Even if it doesn't work, install z2_plus_twrp_3.2.1-0_dmd.img again and repeat steps 3 and 4.

Now you can get back to aex 5.3 and customize your device as before without any /vendor problems.

If this method works on phones other than zuk z2 then please mention in the comments. Thanks.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FrankLiszt:
Hi.

I'm trying to rollback from Lineageos 15.1 to Nougat b35, but I'm having issues doing so. When I flash the stock edl package through miflash, it flashes okay; nothing wrong happens, but when I boot the phone, it shows the ZTE logo, the 5 sec screen, then the screen goes black and the phone shutdowns. If I try to get into recovery, it shows some logo, then the screen goes black. I can flash custom edl packages just fine.

Anything special I need to do to be able to flash the stock rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Flash rom trough edlwith miflash.Boot in stock recovery and do factory reset,boot phone.

Remember you lose all data
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Yeah well, pity that "booting into stock recovery" is something he can't do, like he said

What I'd do is flash Nougat B19 (it has Fastboot) and entering fastboot right away on the 5 second screen. From there issue "fastboot format userdata" and you should be done.

Other stuff you can try is flashing an assortment of TWRPs via EDL Tool and trying to enter any. (if you want to avoid downloading b19 lol) The official, unmaintained one from twrp.me (for ailsa_ii of course) might work, otherwise maybe Oki's B12 recovery, NFound's 3.2.1-8. Enter them right away with Vol UP or from the 5 second screen because they'll get replaced after the (failed) boot
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FrankLiszt:
I flashed Nfound's recovery and wiped data and cache and it freezes in the 5 sec screen, I can't go past it. Will try downloading the B32 and Oreo stock to see if I can go back to stock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Just download B19 Nougat, not B32... b32 is largely the same as B35 (i.e. no added fastboot). Not sure about Oreo, but I think it has no fastboot.

But you had to FORMAT DATA, not wipe it lol

Has someone managed to run this rom on our device?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tm978275:
So I've managed to fix up my V20 (918-tmobile) after losing my Pixel 3, got everything up and running...rooted, installed the Oreo 20g stock rom (rooted) and the oreo mk2000 kernel, heat throttling fix...everything is working great, the phone is zippy and responsive. Here's where things get weird; I play a good deal of PUBG mobile (which the phone runs surprisingly well)...Most matches my ping is around 20-40ms, very stable...then out of nowhere, I'll load into a match (whether quick match or classic mode, US or Europe server, doesn't matter) and my ping will be insanely high....around 700-900ms. The only fix I've found is to hide and (while praying no one finds me) reboot the phone, reload the game and reenter the match...which completely solves the issue, my ping goes back to normal. Now if I just exit the game and don't reboot the phone, the ping stays at 700-900ms. I've tried it on several different wifi networks, and I had the issue happen regardless. Something worth noting is that it never happens during a match; it always happens right at the begining...As in, if I load in to a match and see that my ping is normal, it stays normal for that entire match.

So my question is, where do I start? I reinstalled the game completely, that didn't fix it. Would I want to reflash the kernel, or try a different one? Could it be the rom?

I sincerely appreciate any guidance you guys could give me!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dchay:
I have tried to read through the threads already in place about the unlocked vs carrier versions of the S10 but haven't found the answer to my question. If I've missed it, I apologize.

I'm currently on Google Fi and I pre-ordered the unlocked S10 from Samsung. I'm trying to confirm if I'm going to lose any features on this unlocked version vs if I had gone with a carrier version. I was planning on swapping it with my Pixel 2XL on my Google Fi service but I'm wondering if I'll lose any features over getting a carrier loaded version. I'm thinking of things like wifi calling or other things. My current Pixel 2 is also using an e-sim so will that be an issue?

I had gone as far as wondering if loading a T-mobile sim on when it first boots would be necessary (for the feature enabling) and then moving it over to my Fi account. I'm also not really a firmware flashing expert so maybe I'm overthinking this. I'd love your input.

[Remix OS for PC] riggs6012:
Hello today I am here to tell you that you can have dual monitors for Android-x86. It works like this the primary monitor has a resolution that exact resolution will be passed down to the secondary monitor. This is the prime system a 4k touchscreen monitor as a primary then a 86" 4k monitor as a secondary. The grub configuration file is how you do it but first you need to go to /sys/class/drm and look at your available video cards. Then you need to figure out what monitor is HDMI-A-1 and HDMI-A-2. So the kernel command line needs to disable a card for the surface pro 3 it would be eDP-1 or desktop DVI-A-1. So the kernel command line would go like this after remix x86_64 for surface pro 3

video=eDP-1:d video=HDMI-A-1:3840x2160-32@60 append="video=HDMI-A-2:3840x2160-32@60"

Just remember to append your second monitor this should work for any Android-x86 system.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mkmossop:
I have a few albums where the album art refuses to change no matter which program I use.

Based on some searching I found that if you delete all files in "com.android.providers.media\albumthumbs" that the phone should stop forcing its art on specific albums. However after doing so you also have to change the folder to read-only.

I did this on an old s5 neo and it worked.

However on my current s9 I don't have the option to delete files in this folder. So, I found the folder by connecting my phone to my pc and deleted all the files... but I can't change the permission of the folder either on my phone or pc to read-only, so the album art is still not changing.

Tried a bunch of different apps, and in the apps the art is ok, but in the actual music player it's not.

Is there any work around for this? Or any other way to force the album art to change? Any way to change the folder to read-only?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] GuestK00347:
It seems strange that art wouldn't change. Are you sure there isn't art embedded into the files? Download a music tagger, I recommend Mp3tag if you're on Windows, and open the files in there to see if there's any art embedded. Also make sure there isn't a hidden folder.jpg anywhere. If you can't figure it out maybe upload one of the files and I'll have a look to see if I can find the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mkmossop:
Hey sure thanks so much if you could help that'd be great.

Here is one of the files. I just opened it in mp3tag, deleted the album art, added a high quality pic. Yet when I uploaded to my phone it still shows some low quality crap as album art.

https://ufile.io/2polz
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] GuestK00347:
I've taken a look and the file appears to be OK. Did you happen to check if the previously embedded pic was low quality? Because if it was you might just need to clear albumthumbs again, then recopy over the album with the high quality art embedded in each file (you might also just be able to put it as folder.jpg in the same folder with no embeds on any files, not certain if that works) and let the cache regenerate.

If that doesn't work then I have a couple more questions - how low quality are you talking (a screenshot would be helpful), and what music player are you using? Because testing the file in Samsung Music looks fine to me. You could also have a look at another music player with an option to ignore mediastore's cached covers (which are usually compressed more) and reads the art directly from the file. There are a bunch available that can do this like Retro, Shuttle, Phonograph, Poweramp, and probably tons more.

I've attached screenshots of what it looks like for me on Retro (with mediastore disabled) and Samsung Music.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mkmossop:
Hey no I didn't check the previously embeded pic. I did however clear albumthumbs and then recopied the song, but still didn't work. Don't know what the f is up with this phone lol.

I'm not sure what you mean with the folder.jpg. I'm supposed to name the album art file folder.jpg?

Ya mine doesn't look like that unfortunately. Here's a pic of how mine looks on Samsung music player. Also here's the pic I'm trying to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] GuestK00347:
Welp, my last idea apart from trying a different music player is to clear the data of Samsung Music. If that doesn't work, I probably can't help sorry.

By the folder.jpg thing I mean instead of embedding the file in every MP3 on an album, which takes up more space (say your album cover is 700 kilobytes across 10 songs, that's 7 megabytes), you can just put it in the same folder as the files (like the attached image). It could also take priority depending on the app, not sure how Samsung Music handles it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mkmossop:
That's alright thanks so much so far.

How do I clear the data from samsung music?

In terms of putting the album art in the same folder as the files... do I do that on my phone or my computer?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] GuestK00347:
Open Settings, then go to Apps, find and tap on Samsung Music, then tap Storage, and Clear data. And you can do it on either.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mkmossop:
Oh man thanks so much... it finally worked. There are still a couple albums which it didn't work for but it worked for most. Maybe clearing albumthumbs again will work.

Also there's another problem, lol. The mini album art at the bottom of the screen shows up as the old one instead of the new one. I'm gonna try clearing albumthumbs and samsung music again and hopefully that fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mkmossop:
Hey so I (or better you) figured it out finally. If you change the album art right before you clear samsung music then after clearing it will show up with the correct album art in all places. Some of the older ones I changed didn't show up, but if I changed them right before clearing they all showed up perfectly.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] coolpoete:
I've had my phone for a few months now and I've seen 2 updates on it. Generally speaking the device works fine but I was woken out of my sleep due to the phone bootlooping. I shut it down and restarted it and it worked fine. I thought oh great, not this again but still chalked it up to just pure randomness. Then yesterday I started getting this notification that the charging port may have debris or moisture and that it wouldn't charge properly despite me doing nothing different, never getting it wet. So I followed the directions and blow dried it gently and checked for debris. The message stopped but then started up again today. I decided not to chance it and took it to Verizon. They were really too lazy to actually look at it instead just ordered a replacement device which I guess I'm ok with but that doesn't explain what may have happened.

Anyone else having wonky issues with their phones after the last software update? I have not tried a hard reset or anything thing else yet but it is no longer fast-charging. So far that seems to be the only issue. Any insights?

*Edit: Did a factory reset and I thought it would resolve but it didn't. What it does now is that randomly whenever I plug it in either to my PC or Charger it will randomly shut off and go to this screen. The above error about the charging port continues to happen. Even though it says fast charging it is not.
