LOL if someone accuse us of flaming the noobs I will redirect him to this thread.

Good work Dave.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Everything that you have asked is available in the Kaiser wiki .

Edit: Nice non-flame of a newbie who probably deserved it. He obviously read nothing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregslater84:
Thank you all for your help. I've actually been reading these forums for the last few days. Non-stop, with plenty of coffee, and although the answers to my questions have been scattered around here and there, they've also been limited to suggestions or opinions, not the hardcore truth of the matters!

@denco7: I'm grateful that I wasn't "flamed". I'm guessing that the senior members realise that if newbies just get the piss taken out of them, it'll put them off. Everyone was a newbie once, aren't we all here to help each other out?

Anyhoo, I'm off to work out which WM6.1 ROM will be the best - oh, and how to flash it and the like ;)

Peace.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
No prob's Greg.

I do flame the poeple who deserve it. In this case I seemed like you had read a lot, but had no context in which to apply it so it made little sense to you.

This is the way I feel when I read something, but do not do it myself. And I never risk damaging my device unless I know what I'm doing. Bit of a catch 22 situation.

Recently I Sec unlocked with AT commander. I read the steps 5 times and still wasn't sure, but now I've done it I can help others follow the steps if required.

Quote from someone/somewhere (not me) :)

Tell me and I will forget.

Show me and I will remeber.

Invole me and I will understand.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
to find out how to flash a rom to your kaiser please read the first (and i believe only) sticky under the Kaiser rom development forum. I could retype everything listed there but i think its easier if you just read that post.

welcome to xda: remember reading and searching are your best tools :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregslater84:
Thank you one and all for your patience, I've now managed to successfully do the following:

Dump my original O2 ROM (just in case)

Reconstruct that ROM into an nbh file to re-flash it (just in case)

Install Hard SPL

Flash a new (cooked) ROM by DuttyThroy (very good may I say)

Install loads of recommended applications, including the new Opera Browser beta - cool ;)

Apply loads of registry tweaks

...and finally get my phone behaving the way I want it to. (well nearly, still searching for that registry tweak I've seen somewhere that stops the reminders bugging you every 30 secs or whatever!)

I was thinking, would there be any advantage in me starting a thread (or even asking for another sub-forum to be created?), in which noobs who can't be bothered to read or are just stoopid, like me, can throw simple questions at me about any of the above stuff?

I'll admit that I'm no expert, but some of the questions on here do make you think that people simply don't read. I wouldn't mind doing it just so the people who know what they're doing on these forums can actually get on and do it! I can certainly see why it would be infuriating with people asking questions that are already answered in the Wiki, FAQs, GWENI, or in one of the many other threads on here.

I don't mind helping out the "lazier" noobs if it means that further progress can be made without stressing out other members who are more useful than me. Maybe "sticky" a thread just for simple noob questions?

I dunno, just a thought. Thank you again for all your help. Keep up the good work, donations will be made to those who've been kind enough to share their knowledge.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
ahh you guys are so sweet.

Secondly if you made a forum for nubs, then what would I do when I'm at work? I wouldn't be able to use my wit on unexpecting nubs. This would make a sad Chum!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
I agree with you. There is a lot of information out there, but it really isn't organized in an easy to read, intuitive, or straight forward format.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
You mean this one?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
Just curious, but what are the registry tweaks that you apply?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregslater84:
Hehe, I know - found it a few minutes after that post. If you're really eagle-eyed, you'll notice that I posted it at the bottom of the thread you've linked to ;)

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregslater84:
Too many to list on here, but many of them were using the KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig (came with Dutty's ROM) tools - just makes it easier :)

Many tweaks can be found in the Wiki and GWENI though too...

Hello is there a way I can turn on Edge notifications when I get a message on WhatsApp, but turn them off when I get a voice or video call?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] streetw1se:
Hey! Yes, you can! In Settings>Display>Edge screen>Edge Lighting>Manage notifications. Just enable/disable apps from there and it should work.

But that wasn't my question. I am talking about within WhatsApp itself. When I get messages I want to get Edge notifications, but not when somebody calls me on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] CroGamer1:
I was wondering if some devs started working on this since the Exynos 9820 officially supports 8K video recording. The phone is limited to 4K since it would cause inconsistencies with the Snapdragon variant. Does anybody have any news about this hack?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] DarK_DemoN:
Unless 8k is supported by the sensor, you aren't recording in 8k. Doesn't matter what the chip supports. You can't record in 8k with a 4k camera
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] CroGamer1:
I remember that a simillar discussion was at the S4 forums 5 years back. It turned out that the camera was perfectly capable but the SoC lacked support.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
8k is 33.2 megapixels (7680x4320). The main camera on the S10 phones is 12 megapixels. You're not getting anything close to 8k no matter what a developer tries to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jonathanfv:
Yup, camera does absolutely not have the resolution for that. At best, you'll oversample your 4k video to 8k, won't have more details and your video files will be a lot bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] CroGamer1:
I see. Too bad though :(
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Corei7X:
the s20 and s20 plus has 12mp sensor too and capable of 8k recording
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] CroGamer1:
The S20 lineup has HARDWARE support but the S10 lineup does not. The S20 and S20+ use the 64 MP telephoto camera to shoot 8K. The S20 Ultra uses it's 108 MP main camera to shoot 8K. The top count in the S10 lineup is 16MP. The CPU in the S10 is capable of 8K shooting but there isn't a camera with sufficient MP count on board.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Corei7X:
thats resonable however 8k isnt something to panic about with tons of space and the giant display you gonna need i think is s10 is still a full package imo
[LineageOS News & Discussion] GuestK00285:
Hello!

Last year, decision was very clear for me: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (mido). Great specs (battery!), great price and 1st place on this list: https://stats.lineageos.org/

Today for another device that I need, I do not know for sure. What do you suggest? :)

Criteria:

- under 250$

-Dimensions: Height max ~158mm (not too large phone)

- Great battery (+4000mAh)

- Good camera

- (Year 2017+)

- NOT Samsung.

- Official Lineage support + Lineage for Microg support

Thank you and greetings! ;)
[LineageOS News & Discussion] GuestK00285:
This turned out to be more difficult decision than I was expecting...

Either device has great lineage support and is NOT anymore in store OR it is in store and does NOT have official Lineage support.

Xiaomi MI A1 seems to be the only one to have both.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] solace mukhtar:
Xiaomi mi a1 is the best choice for you. I used it for months before i moved to mi a2. It's a nice phone. You can go for it, i believe it'll soon receive Lineage 16 official update.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] GuestK00285:
Thank you for an answer!

Now I am tottaly swinging between Redmi Note 4 an Mi A1. Both are quite similar, but Redmi Note 4 has a much better battery (4000mAh vs. 3080mAh).

I have also found Asus Zenphone Max Pro M1 to be a good match (5000mAh), but I has poor camera.

If the price would not be an issue, I would probbaly go for Xiaomi Pocophone F1 (350$). But I really do not see the point. Phones above are good enough for normal use.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] jazzh:
I also have mido on los 15.1, I'm thinking of buying rn5pro or rn6pro.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] BlackWhale2108:
Instead of buying an old phone which already have Lineage OS support, you can buy a new phone which will probably get Lineage OS support.

I am talking about Mi A2. I am pretty sure that once the 2 year update program under android one project ends, it will definitely get the Lineage OS Support.

But if you can't wait for something that might or might not happen, you can go for whyred I guess.

If you ask me I would stretch up a little bit and go for poco F1, I don't think that there is any other phone out there, right now, which offers such a great value for money.

If by any chance you are able to get your hands on a OnePlus device (probably second hand so that it fits your budget), that would be great too.

Decision is yours.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] Bongzerker:
You can get a first gen Pixel XL for under $200, I've loaded LineageOS on it and it's so good that I'm actually selling my Note 9 and going back to the Pixel as my daily driver. Camera is better too, despite being kinda an older phone now.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] z0m8i3:
I picked up a used Oneplus 5 a few weeks ago for $200 and flashed MicroG Lineage to it. Excellent phone so far, I am 100% pleased with it.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] siluok:
Pocophone F1

+ Community

+ Official LineageOS

+ LineageOS with MicroG

+ Performance

+ SD

+ Battery and runtime

+ Camera

+ Price

+ Can be opened with screw instead of glue (to change battery, e.g.)

+ No glas back. Scratched back can be changed on the cheep

+/- No OLED display (means no oled flickering and no burnin)

- No NFC

- Only one camera
[LineageOS News & Discussion] xdaslo:
In 2020, pocophone is still considered the best option for a good Lineage support? Well, that is nice to hear...

Even so, any other, maybe a little cheaper option? :)))
[LineageOS News & Discussion] alavalathi shaji:
I was also in the same situation... Frankly there is no good phone for this purpose in budget range. My only expectation was redmi 7 getting an official lineage update. But the developers seems to be satisfied with their own unofficial versions. We have two unofficial lineage for this phone but no official ones.

Actually requirement of a budget phone which is on microg (or degoogled) is a social cause... I wish this happened.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] heinhuiz:
As others mentioned before, Mi A1 will be the phone of your choice. I just broke mine but will have the screen repaired. I love it.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] xdaslo:
How can you say that since the official support for MI A1 has been dropped on April 2020?

You see, that exactly is the problem with LineageOS and others costum ROMs. You never know, how long some device will be maintained. That is specially problematic when you would like to choose a device based on official Lineage support. I could buy Pocophone F1, but support may be dropped in few months. YOU NEVER KNOW.

If only there would be few selected devices with long-time official support: https://xdaforums.com/lineage/general/suggestion-provide-long-time-official-t4087499
[LineageOS News & Discussion] mgw2015:
If you can still get a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 go for that. We have several of these in operation. Works like a charm. I believe the the latest Note 5 is still unsupported.

In case you know what you are doing: broken screen replacement around EUR 15 via e.g. AliExpress (including digitizer). 30 minutes to change. Bunch of spare parts like ringers and loudspeakers in the EUR 2 range available as well.

In general some hazzle with the unlocking but I've been told the process has improved significantly (works only under Windows).
[LineageOS News & Discussion] xdaslo:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is not officially maintained from april 2020.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] sejolino:
what about zenfone 3?
[LineageOS News & Discussion] HansFreier:
This is the crap. I have a Samsung S7, when I bought it, the Lineage support was perfect. Some months later the support was dropped. Now I think, I buy a IPhone...
[LineageOS News & Discussion] GuestK00458:
The S7 is in fact a very good phone for it's age and I am still using it daily with https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-17-0-galaxy-s7-build-1-t3980101.

Unofficial yes, but Lineage, good performance and battery life and very stable ;)
[LineageOS News & Discussion] G A S T:
Since every other XDA member here posted crap (the best advice was the poco, but it has a very cheap display and is a poor plastic unibody) or ingored your wishes totally, I want to be honest:.

With a litte bit of own research on the supported device list on the LineageOS homepage you could have seen, that the Mi 8 (dipper) would have been the best pick you make with your criteria. I bought one last year for around 200 €. But you're a little bit late for that. It's hard to get dippers with a proper pricetag because they are sold out.

A very interesting LOS-capable, young, high end device is the OnePlus 7 Pro (guacamole). But of course this one is way too much expensive at the moment. If I were you, I'd wait a few months until it get's more affortable and buy it. ;) At least I'm considering to do that.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] heinhuiz:
As an alternative to LineageOS, you might want to consider /e/ https://e.foundation/
[LineageOS News & Discussion] heinhuiz:
Mi A1 has official LOS 17.1 support https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-t4040345

I've gone thru all the settings that I can find but I can't find any problems. Any suggestions? :(
[Chromebooks] Crash Gordon:
I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero W to automate testing of large numbers of Chromebooks. In "USB Gadget" mode the RPi can be nearly any USB device, or several at the same time -- pretty handy.

Problem is, I can't figure out how to get a random Chromebook to send info out the USB port without installing or modifying anything. Ultimately people with little training will be going through thousands of Chromebooks, so fun stuff like Developer Mode, alternate OSes, Crouton, etc. are off the table. One of the things I'm trying to do is identify the specific Chromebook model (so I can flash the right image) so model-specific things are less useful, although a collection of them could help with IDing the model.

I've gotten to the point where I can connect the Pi and it will Powerwash the Chromebook; whoopee. I can send Alt/V to the login screen to display the SN, but I haven't managed to get that SN from the display into the Pi. On newer USB-C models, I suppose I could connect as a video adapter and then probe the screen buffer, but that doesn't help with older models.

I can make the Pi be a serial port or ethernet connection -- even a thumb drive -- but crosh can't be counted on to support redirection, so e.g. " [blah] > /dev/tty0" won't help because not all Chromebooks know what to do with ">".

My Google-fu makes me suspect I'm looking for the impossible but I'm asking around because, well...

[Update 8/2020]

Eventually I had to bite the bullet and accept Developer mode. So we start by manually pressing CTRL/ALT/F2, then press a button on the RPi which begins by typing "root" to login. The RPi does everything else; typing commands, reading responses, and dumping the whole mess to a server over wifi.

By doing "DUTSERIAL=$(ls /dev/serial/by-id/gadgetname*)" I have the RPi put the serial port ID into an environment variable; then I use "echo test$DUTSERIAL > $DUTSERIAL" and look for the word "test" coming back; the rest of the line is the name of the serial port. Now I can use that text or $DUTSERIAL to exfil.

Totally works; we've inventoried thousands of Chromebooks using this.

For instance, the RPi types : "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | head -1 | sed -n -e 's/^.*: //p' > $DUTSERIAL"

and then reads the CPU type on its /dev/ttyGS0

After we're done with the inventory, we exit Developer Mode and the Chromebook is in OOBE and ready to be issued out.
[Chromebooks] lfom:
If activating developer mode, doing what you want (you can use shell scripts to do whatever you want), then going back to normal mode cannot be done, I guess it is not possible...

The Galaxy 10's camera allows you to make videos in HDR10+.

So I'd like them to port to Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tx_dbs_tx:
First of all the S10 camera has hardware specific features. Secondly, the Samsung camera app is a system app that integrates throughout Samsung's OneUI allowing it to be used from within several Samsung applications seamlessly. Without root or the ability to first remove the stock Samsung camera, you can't install another Samsung camera whether it's ported or not, it won't be allowed to install and be given the system-wide permissions that are required for the camera to function the way the stock N9 camera does. Porting isn't the issue. It's getting around root, kernel DM-verity which will automatically prevent the phone from booting once a system app is modified and it's signature no longer matches. From my experience with this, it's simply not worth the time or effort since we have locked bootloaders and no reliable root method or ability to flash a kernel with DM-Verity disabled which would allow sytstem apps to be modified and/or replaced such as the Samsung Camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TomGrachak:
Who said anything about modifying and/or replacing Note's OG cam? What OP meant is that somebody could possibly modify S10 camera apk by removing S10 hardware specific code and adapt it for Note9. Not only this is possible, it is very likely to happen. Now, idk if there's anything software wise worth porting, and, if it is, maybe Samsung will push it through an update, but such potential apk wouldn't have to be in conflict with Note's system in any way, it could be just normally installed just like G cam.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bober10113:
well that dosent mean that people NOT having made the mistake of buying a locked BL phone have to suffer the same faith...

north america is small compared to the whole wide world of possibilities that the international version of the phone can offer. so lets not put all of our eggs in the same basket please.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bluefish196:
Why all the fuzz with the S10 camera, after the Pie update we got the same as the S10.

Even on selfie mode you can make your face skinny or fatter.

On the Gcam topic, the 5.xx version works fine and even AR stickers from Playground. Also the Exynos version works ok on snapdragon. Even better than those out there. On the S9 Gcam forums.
