[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] mishaxz:
so are there no problems with the China version such as plagued the Mate 20 pro? for example, google assistant and google pay work without problems on the china p30? is there another thread? I can't seem to find one
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] trapcoder:
It'll be the same as there's no google support in china. Why don't you order from Malaysia or Singapore ? Its L29 global version and much cheaper. Pm me if you need some help.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] mishaxz:
Are you speaking from experience or just saying this because google play is not installed by default on phones and google is blocked in China? These were specific issues with the last phone.. google assistant and google pay problems.

With the Mate 20 pro, Huawei made it easy to install the play store (so that means services was also installed)
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] trapcoder:
Playstore isn't an issue. Framework already comes pre-installed. You just need to install the apk however most sellers already do this for you. Almost all china models comes with google framework pre-installed now. In regards of the voice assistant when you press the power button, that i'm not sure if you'll be able to set google assistant. Main issue will be the obvious chinese recovery menu and a few bloatware and the ability to not change the launcher. You can get the launcher changed by installing a secondary launcher and debloating the stock one via adb. China version won't pass safetynet too.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] warea:
With Chinese Rom you will get Chinese bloatware as which can be partially deleted from the face of it, and also some no delectable apps like Huawei voice assistant and browser, and you will spot some Chinese font here and there like contacts apps bringing up Chinese yellow book contacts.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] shmykelsa:
So my plan is to test the hardware first, and see if there's anything faulty, and then proceed into unlocking the bootloader.

I'm searching for a combination of:

>Very good stability

>A good battery life & no random draining

>Least grounbreaking bugs as possible

>Lots of customization (I like to tweak every possible aspect of the OS) & theming

I don't do a lot of gaming, mostly random games, few minutes per day while I'm on the WC.

So, my question is: should I go for Oxygen OS + rooting and sleep soundly or is there a combination of ROM and Kernel that takes the most out of the 6T respecting my requisites? Hit me up with your opinions!

P.S. No I'm not lazy and yes, I've read the ROMs threads but I would like some real life opinions.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I haven't touched a custom ROM yet and I've been really happy with OxygenOS!

I'm on stable 9.0.13 and active drain seems good but idle drain, not so much. I lose about 10%-14% overnight...

Wasn't the case on .12 and your results may vary on that.

For theming I use substratum and it works pretty well!

I'd like to try custom ROMs but I'm a heavy Tasker user and my profiles now heavily work with OxygenOS. I'd have to do a lot of modifying to get working well with AOSP.

Also, I've read about small bugs like choppy display corners and buggy fingerprint reader on custom ROMs as well. Not trying to bash any custom ROM, just explaining why I have stuck with OxygenOS.

I am strongly considering going to Open Betas though, as updates seem more frequent and security patches are more up to date there as well. I opened up a thread asking about the stability of Open Beta and its all been positive!

Hope this helps.

International ROM plus xXx is and root is nice place to start.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] flbenini:
You know that the OP7 is 12 days from release and that the price for the 6T will probably go down, right?

Other than that, the best battery would be .11 if you don't mind the security patch. Just use that + Magisk and you can't go wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Scott:
I like Oxygen OS. If I were making a custom ROM it would be just like OOS.

I am confident OOS will suite your needs and meet your requisites.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but EdXposed doesn't seem to be of much use. I mean I would like it to be, I used to love Xposed, however anymore it seems like most everything is outdated on there or built for older versions of Android. Is there something I'm missing?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] shmykelsa:
Sure I know, but I really need to change my phone because it's pretty old, and found a good offer for the 6T, so I just went on and bought it :good:

Hi guys,

Looking for some help. I recently purchased the Mecool KM9 Pro Android TV box and so far it has been great. Only issue is that it is supplied with a bluetooth remote (again great) but it is unable to wake the device. Any tips or advice?

At the moment I have to unplug and reconnect power to turn on device again. HDMI CEC is not working and my Samsung NU7100 TV is unable to wake the device.

Below are device specs:

MECOOL KM9 Pro Voice Control TV Box Google Certificated

Amlogic S905X2

4GB DDR4 + RAM 32GB ROM

2.4G + 5G WiFi

Bluetooth 4.1

Android 9.0

Thanks!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hapishyguy:
As far as I know, Its really a software issue. You really cant do much about it.

Only thing you can troubleshoot is

- to check the batteries on the remote and see if they are good.

- or use an air mouse instead in the meantime there is a fix.

I had the same issue with my Xiaomi box. It was under warranty and they replaced it. Then after few months a software update came for it.

I hope I am right!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suffwan:
Thanks for your response, this was my worry. I have tried alternative remotes with USB plugins but they cant seem to wake the device.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hapishyguy:
If you have done that then I assume its software issue. Wait then. As far as I know there is nothing to correct it.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suffwan:
Found a solution. I had to set the power button to Shutdown the device. A little inconvenient but at least this way I can turn on and off as needed without having to unplug and reconnect power.

Will wait for a firmware update. Maybe the ATVxperience v3 will allow me to get some functionality back.

Thanks

I have a similar issue with an S905X2 device. Power button puts it into standby but won't wake it. Pressing any other button on the remote wakes the device. Strange.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] osgroid:
Hello.

I uninstalled Find Device (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice) to avoid its periodic enabling reminders.

However now sometimes "find device has been destroyed" appears as a toast. Also the Security Status in the Settings now crashes.

After finding this message (despite it is other phone model) I'm frightened about a future reboot of my phone. Can my phone really enter in a boot loop the next time I reboot? I have the miui optimization disabled, though.

I have tried to install it back, downloading the 9.0 apk, but it says INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS. Using the "-r" switch also doesn't works ("com.xiaomi.finddevice is a persistent app. Persistent apps are not updateable"). I assume that this is due to haven't erased the app data (uninstalled with -k) but "pm clean" doesn't seems to clean it. I also have tried the -p option for partial installation, but returns a null exception.

Ah, my device is not rooted. MIUI Global 10.2 stable.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] osgroid:
I managed to restore the application with the following adb command:

pm install-existing com.xiaomi.finddevice

It also works with applications uninstalled without "-k 0".

By the way, I used to use "pm disable", but now it seems it is called "pm disable-user".

So, next time I'll preferably use it instead of uninstalling, if works as expected.

Note that it doesn't allows to disable finddevice:

$ pm disable-user com.xiaomi.finddevice
Package com.xiaomi.finddevice new state: default

The package still continues in default state, unlike when it actually works:

$ pm disable-user com.miui.player
Package com.miui.player new state: disabled-user

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] d4fuQQ:
Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a way to get a stock Android/Pixel like looking notification and quick setting panel/menu for EMUI 9.1 (I just like its simple icon style and the darker background compared to the particularized bright EMUI appearance).

Something like that is what I'm looking for.

I already found some information on launchers etc., but it doesn't seem to affect the panel in the top:

https://blog.en.uptodown.com/simulate-android-stock-huawei-emui

https://theunlockr.com/huawei-p20-stock-android/

This XDA icon pack does not seem to yield the desired results either (regular app icons are changing, not the top panel though).

Thanks for some info:)
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] trapcoder:
The only way is to use PowerShade.

It creates an overlay on top of the stock notification panel.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] deus_ex_yue:
We have to wait untill EUMI 9.1 themes will be available. 9.0/9.0.1 themes are not compatible.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] d4fuQQ:
Alright, I tried these kind of apps now and it doesn't really seem to be of any convenience. A lot of system permissions have to be set and then it only works for the drop down menu, but not the actual notification panel at the top.

Thanks though!

Sorry but this is all new to me. You mean we just have to wait until a custom made Android-like looking theme pops up in huawei's theme gallery?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lenci98:
So I have a problem with the Oneplus 5. I got the xXx Nolimits ROM that's based on OxygenOS 5.1.3 and installed the Magisk xXx Nolimits 4.3 aswell.

I want to upgrade it to 9.0.4, but it won't do it with TWRP 3.2.3-0. Haven't tried it with TWRP 3.3.0.

Could it possibly work, if I go back to full stock and upgrade it via OTA and then flashing it again via TWRP 3.3.0?

The vendor partition is the problem here, I think.

Thanks for any help!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
You guessed right. You need to flash stock 5.1.4 OxygenOS (which will create the vendor partition).

Then you can update to 9.0.4/9.0.5(remove the compatibility.zip from the rom files) either with OTA or manually flashing(see official oxygenOS rom threads for 9.0.5)then you can update the twrp to 3.3.x.

After this you can flash XXX magisk mod 4.3 onwards as it's a magisk module.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Dirk:
That's exactly how to do it. Use an Oreo era Codeworkx TWRP to flash a full OOS ROM. You have to have used 5.1.4 to create the Vendor partition so flash that. Let it overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, and then OTA up to latest OOS. Fastboot flash latest Codeworkx TWRP and you're done.

Uninstall Magisk before you begin.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] DashLightning:
The icon for android's Files app (the one with white folder on blue background icon) disappeared after the April update. The app is still installed on my phone, but it's not in the app drawer?

Is anyone else having the same problem? And how can I fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
There's 2 "Files" apps.

1 becomes "Files Go" or "Google Files" and has the cleanup stuff.

The other isn't really a file manager but a file picker (used by other apps). The name is com.android.documentsui.

The second one no longer has an icon. I'm not sure it ever should have had an icon.

If you've got a custom launcher or a widget thing, you can create a launcher for the FilesActivity of the Files app. It won't be in the app drawer though.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] marstonpear:
The files app you're talking about is still built-in to the system, weird thing is you can only open it by installing a 3rd party launcher. When you install another launcher it's in the app drawer, but stock launcher (I have no idea why) hides it and makes you use the Files Go app.

You're not using nay secure payments but samsung pay is becoming one of the fastest growing payment option. You really wanna void your warranty, stop receiving OTA updates all this?

If you ask me - please don't root your s10+.. it's a powerful device where you can customize it without rooting. Yes, I do agree, you will not get 2-3 root advantages like titanium and few other customizations. But think of the pros, cons. Nowadays you can use it without rooting and with a lot of customization.

Adguard isn't free and it slows wifi throughput. Speedtests dropped from 600-700Mbps up/down to 150-160 last time I checked. Not a fan of that.

Next, there is no warranty out of the box on Exynos. It's buy at own risk, period. So no argument there. ;)

And OTAs. That's kind of a joke considering it's May and the (official) security update is March 01. The unlocked versions in the USA are slow to get (official) updates.

But we're talking about just root, right?

Typically, I only unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom. No matter how good the factory OS is, they just simply cannot touch a custom rooted rom. It's better out of the box now compared to touchwiz days, yes. But still not as good.

Is it worth the hassle? To some no. It really depends on what you want to do with your spare time I suppose.
