Noup, this is a dirty flash, you won't be wiping anything. It's recommended though to backup your info before. Of course, if you have all backed up with your Google account you need not to be worry.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cristianh033:
This ROM is incredibly fluid.

However I find some problems:

- The volume control buttons on the headphones don't work, play/pause button works, (xiaomi hybrid pro hd), on the stock ROM it does work.

- The audio of the speakers sounds strange, you can perceive the difference in the bass.

- Screen recording applications make the phone very slow during recording.

Although Magisk shows that it passes the safetynet test I can't install some playstore applications like netflix, does anyone know what I can do?

Additionally I would like to know if I can block the bootloader after installing this ROM?

Thanks.

I had this SafetyNet problem too, haven't found any solution yet. I suggest using third party app store for installing incompatible apps. Fun fact, same problem happen also on stock unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cristianh033:
Maybe the problem is the unlocked bootloader, somehow netflix knows.

Hi, I have a problem in Instagram only in PE CAF version. I can't upload any video as a post or story to instagram! Whats the problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] afsal:
Latest CAF review after using 5 days

1. Rom appears to be more stable than previous build. The interface is smooth.

2. Battery draining at a higher rate. Earlier used to get more than 4 hours screen on time, but now reduced around 3 hrs 40 minutes.

3. While making phone calls, some lag is facing while switching between calls and putting on conference call. Sometimes add call option won't be there, instead we have to go to Home screen, then switch back to ongoing call and then the add call option will be there. But still it appears to be laggy.

4. Quick charge is not working properly, even if using a fast charger it takes around 1 hr 50 minutes to get charged from 15 to 100. While in stock rom it's around 1 hr 30 minutes.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] fanzai21:
Hi, I have a question for you, surely you know more than me.

The 128 Gb S10 arrived and configured. It runs very well and it is a nice device. But I have a problem: in the old smartphone I had the possibility to use the dual sim and the micro sd at the same time (through a small chip to insert in the hybrid slot). I noticed that in s10 it doesn't work and it seems to be a lock related to Samsung. You can confirm? Can you tell me if using root and modding it is possible to work around this problem?

The chip in question is the following, for clarity:

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] xiux:
Yeah, they don't allow this any more.

They already did this on s9, this method ceased to work with last updates. With root, I believe there's a magisk module that enables both sim and microsd.

Not sure if that module works on s10 tho.

There are two requirement:

Being rooted and xposed (Edxposed) with this module:

And finally buy one adapter the shortest as possible.

The fact is you have to get a case to hide the adapter and notice that I protect the behind of my phone from scratchs with an adhesive tape

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] AleNonsense:
Some insight first: I've decrypted my Honor (format /data > flashed force encrypt disabler > flashed Magisk) and now themes aren't working (format /data caused the issue).

I've followed this guide without effective results (now I see preset themes but apk is still unable to apply them - I guess it fails something with wallpapers since in customize I can see lock screen style, icons and text style but lock screen wp and home screen wp are blanked); I've also treid upgrading the apk to last version through AppGalley but nothing changed.

I'm not sure if I miss some libraries or stuff for the apk to work properly, so I would like to know if someone is able to extract it and everything related to it from stock Oreo rom (BLN-L22 Indian variant) and pack it in a flashable zip so that I can try to flash it and hopefully solve my issue.

__________

Finally managed to solve this issue through Mix Explorer:

copy *.hwt file to root /system /themes (I had to create themes folder)

set *.hwt file permissions to "rw-r--r--"

reboot.

go to themes app and apply the theme discussed above

everything works for me now, even downloaded themes
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jrvenge:
Z6 Has a 600 nit screen brightness, my current S8+ has 1000.

Do you think this display is going to get bright enough when we need it?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
Should be. Those AMOLED brightness figures are a bit misleading. AMOLED brightness depends on what's on your screen. The more white, the less bright it is. A lot of the screen needs to be dark to hit 1000 nits. If you're browsing the web you're likely in the 600 nits territory on your S8. Perhaps even less.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
You cannot trigger the display brightness to be that bright. That's auto brightness and in direct sunlight. So in other words, unless you sit outside in direct sun. You'll never see 1020nits.

Read below.

The Galaxy S8 is 5 to 10 percent Brighter than the Galaxy S7, and up to 19% Brighter in High Ambient Light with Automatic Brightness. For most image content the Galaxy S8 provides over 460 cd/m2 (Luminance, which is a measure of Brightness sometimes called nits), comparable or higher than most LCD displays in this size class. The measured Brightness on the Home screen is even higher at over 525 nits. When the display Brightness is set Manually with the slider, it can be adjusted to reach a maximum screen Brightness of up to 610 nits, which is impressive. See the Screen Brightness section for the measurements and details

So ideally, slide the slider all the way up on your brightness. That's essentially the Asus screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] tonev:
Hi everyone. I have an XZ2 single sim variant and I am on the latest firmware. I want to root the phone but i can't find a guide on how to do it. I have read that i need to downgrade to a previous firmware and unlock the bootloader so I wont loose the camera but can't find any detailed info on that. Thanks again for your help.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
Please read the twrp thread carefully.

A downgrade is not needed to unlock the device.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] tonev:
Where can I find the specific TWRP thread? (and no it is not in your signature) I know that downgrading is not necessary for unlocking the bootloader but I will loose the camera if I do it on the latest firmware right?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
It is, just click on "XZ2 Development" :P

It is the camera preview and no, if you use the newest firmware, you won't loose it.

But it will fullwipe your phone. :)

Sony Backup & Restore won't work after unlocking.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] tonev:
So if I unlock my firmware and root my phone my camera won't have a black preview window? And if i backup my current items (call history , sms etc ) with xperia system transfer I wont be able to transfer them back?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
1. Yes, the camera will still show the preview and shoot pictures.

2. No, Sony Backup & Restore needs a working DRM.

You could use Google Backup or maybe there is some hack to root a locked xperia xz2 to use another backup solution.

Maybe a compiled stock kernel with this commit

https://github.com/j4nn/sonyxperiad...mmit/549389a03bfca69c8d2a8237b7d41c36105619df

will let sony backup & restore work on an unlocked phone, but I sadly have no time to compile it at the moment.

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] jlsatt4:
I am setting up a new Moto G7 Power (1955-2) running Android Pie. My current phone is an LG Stylo 3 with Android 8.

On the LG I made liberal use of the direct dial widget to have a page of one-touch dial icons for people I regularly called. The nice thing was that the DD widget icon shows 'Mobile", or, "Home", or, "Work" directly on the icon with the person's name as the label. That way, I could have multiple numbers for the same person side-by-side on the page and easily distinguish which icon to touch to dial. Works really well.

Now, on the Moto G7 Power with Android 9, the same direct dial widget icon process results in an icon that shows a handset object on the icon with no indication of which number is programmed. So, there is no way to tell the difference for mobile, home, and work DD widgets for the same person.

Any suggestions on how to get the same functionality on my new G7?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] lubo777:
Can you specify which app exactly you use? I can't find "direct dial widget" ... :)
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] jlsatt4:
Go to a home page with some open space.

Press and hold. The screen will pop up with choices.

Select widgets.

Scroll down to Contacts. There should be at least three choices for contacts. Direct Message, Direct Dial, and, Contact.

Press and hold on Direct Dial. Drag it to an open spot on the page.

A list of contacts and their numbers will pop up. Chose one.

The widget will be on the home page.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] lubo777:
yes, it got it - maybe the only fix of the problem is to have different names for each number for the contacts you want in the widget :>
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] jlsatt4:
Right now, the best solution I can find is to link to the complete contact record instead of a single number for that contact. So, instead of a quick, direct dial for a person, I touch the contact icon first, and then chose the telephone number I want to dial.

I wonder if changing to another launcher, like Nova Launcher, would give more options.....?

The firmware (rom) installed is not a determinant of what your phone really is. I suspect this is a frankenphone. If you bought it this way, I would try and get your money back asap.

The only way to be absolutely sure as to what the phone really is and what firmware should have been installed on it, is to open it up and see what is stamped on the motherboard. Unfortunately with the firmware installed now, you have most likely, with an ARB of 4, negated any chance of unlocking your device unofficially if it is still bootloader locked or doing much else with it for that matter.

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] AndyJN:
I have a boot.img file that i can use to root my Samsung J2 SM-J260F - if I flash this with Odin everything is Ok. Now I want to edit a file in the ramdisk of the boot.img to make the phone boot on power. However simply unpacking the Boot.img and unzipping the ramdisk then repacking fails - even when i do not edit anything in the ramdisk. When the repacked boot.img is flashed with Odin the device gets into a boot loop.

I am using the Carliv Image Kitchen for Androidv1.3 tool to do the packing and unpacking.

Is there some specific aspect of the Samsung boot.img such as a signature that is causing this to fail?

Progress update

The only unpacking tool that seemed to correctly repack the image was MTK_Extractor_V2.63 - all of the other (many) utilities I tried did not seem to repack the ramdisk correctly and caused the phone to boot into the recovery screen.

Changing the init.rc and init_samsungexynos7570.rc files as follows finally led to success.

In file init.rc

delete everything under "on charger" then add back setprop sys.powerctl reboot

Under "service lpm /system/bin/lpm"

delete class sec-charger critical and replace with trigger late-init

In file init_samsungexynos7570.rc

delete everything under "on property:ro.bootmode=charger"

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] MWRacing777:
Hi There,

Just bought my GF a Mi A2 Lite a few weeks ago and she is loving it compared to her old iPhone 5s ;) but one major issue atm is that her bluetooth headphones seem to be giving her issues!

The audio stutters a LOT even when right next to the phone. Tried resetting the Bluetooth connection but to no avail.

I had a quick scan through the forums and seen that people recommend going back to Oreo to solve the issues.

Is there any clear guides or links on how to do this? I know my way around tech so should have any issues following a guide.

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] 00norman00:
Yes, it's a very annoying bug.... I have it too, but didn't find a solution :(

That's the reason why I downgraded to Oreo! :D

If you want to downgrade,

1. you must unlock the bootloader, but this will erase all of your data. So, don't forget to make a backup of your internal storage. https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-official-t3885578

2. Install MiFlash and ADB on your computer: https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/ https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

3. Download an oreo stock rom and unzip it: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871

4. Boot your phone into bootloader

-> Connect your phone with your computer and enable ADB in developer settings

-> Shutdown your phone and hold Volume Down and Power-Button to boot your phone into fastboot/bootloader

5. Open the MiFlash-Tool on your computer and select the Oreo-Stock-Rom which you want to install.

6. At the bottom of the MiFlash window you must choose clean all, this will erase all of your data!

7. If your phone gets recognized from your computer and the programm, then you can hit the button flash on the top of the window

8. This procedure takes a while, so be patient.

9. If everything works, it will reboot your phone automatically.

10. Maybe you will have the bug of swapped SIMs. You must install TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/development/official-twrp-daisy-t3855396

and flash this file to fix it: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4704476&stc=1&d=1550012435

11. Perfect! You downgraded to Oreo! :)

I hope this little guide could help you, and sorry if it's a bit complicated :rolleyes:
