Firmware finder website.

Instructions for all of it are on the OpenKirin website at https://www.openkirin.net/.

Also, stock recovery is actually preferred - TWRP has it's share of issues on Kirin devices, and we don't support the use of it with an OpenKirin ROM. So you'd want the stock images for that as well, for retrieving the stock recovery.

[MENTION=5066134]irony_delerium[/MENTION] I tried flashing OmniROM Pie Alpha 6.2 (for EMUI8) with the instructions posted @ https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-flash-extracted-partition-images/

After flashing and formatting I am stuck on "Your device is booting now", but nothing happens even after +-10 mins

I also tried the last RR but same problem. Then tried flashing an older stock rom version (177) to see if I could get more success from there, but that also wouldn't boot.

Flashed back to my original stock rom version now (277), which works fine after formatting data.

I'm using a Mediapad M5 Lite BAH2-W19 8.0.0.227 (OCEC432)

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

What is the best TCP Congestion Algorithm now for current devices. TGP kernel listed many option but still don't know which ones better.

Here's the list, bic, reno, bbr, cdg, cubic, dctcp, highspeed, hybla, htcp, vegas, nv, veno, scalable, lp, yeah, illinois, lia, olia, wvegas, balia, westwood.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @Class:
5. CONCLUSION

In this paper, five TCP congestion control algorithms are considered, Cubic,

Reno, Vegas, Westwood and WinSock. Tests are conducted in downlink case and

uplink case in three different scenarios. The results point out that in both cases of

uplink and downlink: (1) Comparing with a bad 4G network, all the schemes

perform better in good 4G network; (2) The performance of TCP congestion

control algorithms decreases slightly whereas the channels become saturating

gradually. In the case of downlink: (1) Westwood performs the best when the

network condition is not good; (2) Vegas behaves better than Cubic. In the case of

uplink: (1) The performance through web-based FTP outweighs that through

terminal-based FTP; (2 )Vegas performs badly in web-based FTP; (3)WinSock

has better abilities in controlling the modem; (4)Different FTP methods don’t

perform the same.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dhorgas:
Just as the title says, the default ripple animation is a bit lame, low FPS, and seems to generally slow things down more than it provides anything useful. Any clever ideas on how to disable it or replace it with something that performs a bit better?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] madvinegar:
You can try disabling the unlock animation in settings, biometrics and security, biometric options.

It does not remove the riple effect but makes it much faster to unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gilley:
Yeah I wish there was an option to get rid of it.

If it was not there, people would try adding it ??
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Corv0:
There doesn't seem to be any way to remove that yet, I agree it's lame, stutters and gives galaxy S3 vibes when Samsung was obsessed with water.

Same. I traded my s3 with some guy on craigslist only having it 1 week.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ivicask:
Biometrics and security -> Biometrics preferences -> Screen transition effect

I also have it off, its so much better and smoother without it for fingerprint unlocking.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dhorgas:
Thanks for your tip, but that does not disable the ripple effect. That only disables the screen transition, which to me is almost imperceptible difference. Finger scan animation delay appears to be a much more significant factor.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamnotkurtcobain:
I hate it too and wish there was an option.

They still haven't added in the "notification LED" fix which about 85% of people are complaining about. I don't know why they would focus on allowing users to remove an animation.

Has anyone tried increasing the animation speed in the developer settings? I adjusted mine a long time ago and I don't find the ripple effect that annoying, but to each his own.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] claudioita:
Hi,

I just bought an O2 Orbit 2 on ebay from a german retailer (BTW price inclusing shipment 469 Euro). Of course the Windows Mobile is in German and TOMTOM 6 is with german maps.

Would like to change the operating system into WWE. So far I am a bit reluctant since terrible experience I had with my previous HTC Tytn changing the O.S., which was:

1) First the camera didn't work at all

2) Camera worked, mobile office didn't work

3) Mobile office worked, reception was less good then original O.S.

At the end I got an "original" WWE O.S. from HTC website for Tytn and I was half happy (everything worked except Camera which not always worked).

Based on this experience I'm willing to upgrade to a new ROM/O.S. for my O2 Orbit 2, only if it is perfectly working, in your opinion what is the best solution for me?

A) Keep my german ROM and wait availability from O2 for an official WWE ROM

B) Download official O2 WWE ROM from this site ____________

C) Go ahead and download _____________ ROM WWE from this site ____________

Thanks for the answer

If it's just about the language, then use the default and official WWE HTC ROM which can be found on the xda-dev ftp server.

I've noticed recently that my batter is not lasting the whole day. I haven't wiped the phone since I got it (which is unusual for me as I usually root), so perhaps I should do that to see if resolves the battery drains.

Has anyone replaced the battery? I tried once on my Nexus 5, but the replacement battery was a dud. I'm seeing some on eBay that even go up to 3800 mAh, but that seems to good to be true, also none of the sellers seem to be rated which makes me assume they are scams.

If anyone has replaced the battery is there a good place to buy one?

This thread has been dead a long time, but maybe this info will be useful for someone anyway ...

My Tab S4 SM-T830 died. Don't like the keyboard form factor on the Tab S6/S7 (very hard to use on a plane and I travel a lot) ...

So, bought an SM-T835N (new from S. Korea) that arrived today. Decided to risk flashing the UK version of the SM-T835 ROM (from Sammolbile) onto it, in theory, I could always reflash the original ROM if things didn't work out.

All good! The SM-T835N now reports as an SM-T835. Put in a Vodafone SIM and that works ... so, happy-chappy me!

Now have LTE/4G and 6GB of RAM :)

Yo guys,

Upgraded to PIE build 47.2.A.10.28 recently. (unrooted/locked)

For me, worst update ever UI wise.

Stupid, own fault.

Did no research before the update :facepalm: , and assumed dark-theme would come to all branded devices and was curious.

Appears it's only on Pixel and clean android one phones.

Thinking about downgrading to Oreo to get my Substratum and dark theme back. (did not needed root)

Doing some research here and there, reading that i have to backup my DRM keys to make sure the camera keeps working?

Got the recent info from [MENTION=7803472]vofferz[/MENTION] here:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/rooting-xperia-xz1-compact-47-2-8-24-t3917892

I am there fore wondering if more ROMS with some UI options are in progress.

Little bit stuck on the current available ROMS.

My goal is at least dark-theme back.

I've mailed with support, their answer is:

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
The camera should work without a drm backup if you just want to downgrade back to Oreo. It's the bootloader unlocking that wipes the keys and makes camera unusable in Oreo, but you can flash official firmware without unlocking.

The post you are linking to refers to proper rooting process, not downgrading without unlocking.

But if you want to try another ROM, then you should definitely back up the drm keys before unlocking. I just don't think there are a lot of options for this device on ROMs. Browse this device forum in xda and you might find one or two. I haven't tested anything else than official Sony ones.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] TGN:
Thanks for your reply.

Got to understand the right order here.

Do i need to unlock the bootloader to downgrade to Oreo?

I assume i do.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
Like I just said, you don't need to unlock to downgrade. You can flash any official Sony firmware for the device without unlocking bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] TGN:
Thanks for clearing out.

Will do some more research if 47.2-A.8.24 is compatible for Oreo.

See if i can find a step-by-step guide somewhere, def need some pointers.

Last time i flashed a rom was in 2015 somewhere.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] c_tho:
really have to recommend rooting and using swift installer. plugging your phone in every time you want to update your apps/themes is no way to live, and having all your apps themed black with the same accent colour is a sublime integrated experience.

Yeah i saw that somewhere.

Substratum cost me some quite some time indeed. (even with backups)

But i took it for granted.

Rooting is easy but you should first back up the drm keys, so start here : https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510

After you have backed up the keys, unlocked bootloader and restored keys, just install magisk either via flashing or with the prerooted kernel you linked. Anyway, the first thing to do is to BACK UP DRM KEYS.

I'm on oreo and have noticed many people disliking pie. This has made me cautious with upgrading my firmware lol. Why is that? Is it really that bad?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
There's nothing really wrong about Pie, but some people find the small UI changes bad. I think that for example the volume key is much better with Pie as it changes media volume by default, but some wan't to easily adjust ringtone volume. No one else than you can tell if you like Oreo or Pie more.

You can always try to find the Oreo firmware of your customization, update to Pie and then downgrade back if you hate it. But you should note that downgrading will reset your userdata...

In fact, Sony Supports did told me the same thing; however, I'm pretty sure that VoLTE and VoWiFi were already activated on my SIM card. When I inserted the very same SIM card into any other phones like iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Honor and Nokia, VoLTE and VoWiFi just work without even a drop of sweat.

Well, I'm not an expert or a developer, but according to the following thread, it seems that firmware do play a part in enabling VoLTE and VoWiFi:

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] niaboc79:
Of course firmware play a role, if it works on other phones that means that you must flash a firmware compatible with VoLTE.

Try to find a working one, maybe one made by your carrier or from an other carrier who provide VoLTE in your country [emoji6]

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] manontour:
Hi, I just got a LG G7. I'm from Italy and my G7 is TIM branded. So, I flashed a brandless firmware, but that prevents me from getting OTA upates. I can't even update with LG Bridge because my IMEI is for a TIM branded product. I have to use LG UP to manually update the phone, or flash TIM firmware again to get OTAs.

TIM Italy's G7 have an IMEI like like "355775092x", while brandless G7s have "3557750904x". Is there something wrong if I change my IMEI to 3557750904x and use random numbers after "x" to get updates like everyone? Would it even work?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Changing IMEI is illegal and the servers from LG know that the IMEI doesn't match the firmware. Thats why you can't update. Your choices are to continue updating with LGUP or go back to your firmware

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] manontour:
It's not illegal in all countries. I wonder if I could use an IMEI that can receive updates without using LGUP isntead, but also without risking that my device is blocked or something.

I also don't understand why LG decided to block updates to people with IMEIs like mine. These devices contains apps from my carrier and some of them replaces what LG stock apps do. So, I wouldn't block someone trying to get LG apps and remove the carrier ones... whatever.
