[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojciechk8:
Hi!

This phone has separate system and vendor partitions which are verified with dm-verity. I want to add Polish strings to apks/framework.

So I tried to disable veryfying of vendor and system partition (by editing fstab in boot.img), but there's only fstab.enableswap file available, which doesn't contain system/vendor mountpoints.

Later I found fstab.mt6739 on the vendor image, in /etc, and it had the desirable mounts. But after removing 'verify' flag, the phone still keeps restarting on android logo (only if system was modified).

I've also noticed, that changing anything in vendor image doesn't take effect (tried removing vodafone apps, changing strings in an apk). Is it possible that vendor partition is somehow bypassed? Is there an other way to disable dm-verity?

PS I'm flashing the firmware using NCK box.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lepusang:

I tried to replace the broken screen by myself. However, after assembling them back, I got no signal for sim card.

It can read information from sim card, but no signal to make phone call or access to the Internet.

Did I break something, and is it easy to repair?

Thanks a lot.

Hi

I am a newbie Android developer and my laptop is not very strong and I use external android devices for testing the apps that i develop in android studio , instead of using android emulator.

For connecting android studio to my device ,I previously used SnapPea Windows application.

I have some problem with SnapPea now and I am searching for good replacement for it .

Can you tell me some good replacement for it ?

Hi,

I have an old Teclast P98 andoird version 4.4.4. To boot the tablet up takes a long time couple of minutes minimum. Wondering if I upgrade the version will it resolve the issue? Also is there anyway I can upgrade so it removes all the Chinese apps and apps that i no longer need. I am unable to uninstall them just disable them. Preferable option would be to have a clean install of an Android OS without all the unnecessary apps.

Thanks in advance.

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

​

Features

Click for feature list (helps shorten the OP.)

Screenshots

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD ROM

GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your X01BD, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery

1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

5) Flash gapps

6) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

Just wanted to share a few words of appreciation.

crDroid is one my favourite Custom ROMs because it offers, in my opinion, the best of both worlds i.e., customizations and stability. Moeover, the man behind this ROM, neobuddy89, is an excellent developer.

As for the device, I really appreciate artful for maintaining this ROM and updating it on a monthly basis.

However, I have a few recommendations and suggestions regarding Kernel as well as for Device. I have been a Kernel developer for Yu Smartphones on Yu-Forums and I would really like to improve upon this ROM. I would have done my own thing but I lack free time now. So, artful, if you could contact me on telegram, then it would be great.

Thanks again for your contribution to M2 Pro.

[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] michael_hamada:
THX mate.

I know I can get flashable stock official firmware for JP SKU.

So I played some hours with my phone...Switch to PitchBlack recovery from TWRP to avoid re-encryption, flash stock ROM, re-flash TWRP, flash v5.7, Gapps and Magisk etc...(These processes are the long way for me.)

But when I booted stock Pie to confirm whether I had flashed correctly or not, I got boot-loop.

And I found out that recovery hadn't been replaced stock one though I think I've read that it should be replaced in some posts.

Anyway, I went back to PBR, proceeded to flash v5.7 and it worked fine so far.

Well, so I'm writing this with my phone updated to v5.7 and GCam working fine also.

I feel crDroid is the best indeed.

THX for the info, and your kindness!
