It works on (i guess) the android 8 gsi. I do not recommend magisk, as it messes with your /vendor partition. That partition can not be factory reset other than re-flashing the whole recovery/system/vendor/radio etc. Magisk is also not optimized for this device. Tweaks like viper4androidfx won't work. I don't use my phone anymore at this moment, so any tips, tricks or new information is always welcome to ensure that everybody can get the same good experience :)
[Android General] gamr13:
That reply gave me serious doubt that you know a single thing about what you're doing. If it touches /vendor, you flash stock vendor.img in fastboot mode, ez pz. Not that it matters at all since nothing will get messed up at all. Magisk works perfectly fine on stock ROM. V4A works on stock, but when I use any GSI then no apps that require root work at all.
[Android General] oes20:
It is a problem, I know. We can't do anything than reporting these problems to the Magisk team and hope for help. In my case, Magisk worked for root, but not for the modules. I got also knocked out of Snapchat because of Magisk. Just one of those little things that are part of our development hobby :D
[Android General] oes20:
In my case I got root acces working in Magisk. I apologize for that part about the vendor. You are right about that. I am trying my best to share my experience. I am no expert in anything.
[Android General] gamr13:
Alright boys, yet another stride made today.

I've done some extensive testing on some Generic System Images for the Ulefone Power 5. This GSI seems to be the most stable I've used so far and best of all, it has root built-in (of course, it's LineageOS).

This is the only one I've gotten to work with ViPER4Android and root. Quick note that this still does have the screen flicker on the lock screen, but it's not as bad in this ROM compared to others I've tried.

Android Q GSIs currently do not work on the Ulefone Power 5, I've tried and fought hard with 'em but nothing. So, Pie it is for now.

Note: Magisk DOES NOT work. Please do not flash it on this ROM or you will break root access and need to reflash the system image.

First things first:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/

1) Download the A-ONLY ROM.(avN): https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...7-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.xz/download

2) Make a backup of your stock ROM as it is, just in case in TWRP.

3) WIPE System, Data, Cache and Dalvic in the Advanced Wipe section of TWRP.

4) Flash the image as a System Image in TWRP.

5) Flash Open Gapps

7) Reboot into ROM

8) Enable Developer Options and enable root for apps and adb

9) Download ViPER4Android 2.5.0.4 (This is critical as the newest release will not work)

10) Install the driver

11) On every reboot you will have to go into V4A and go to Settings > Turn on developer mode > Disable SELinux

12) Enjoy Android Pie with ViPER4Android on your Ulefone Power 5.
[Android General] gamr13:
8 Days later and I can confirm the ROM has been really stable with no issues other than the lock screen flicker which rarely happens, especially compared to other ROMs. Battery life has had a significant increase even when putting the phone under heavy usage (Call of Duty: Mobile and other games). Performance has shown a decent increase compared to the stock ROM. All in all, very impressed with the substantial improvements the GSI has brought over the stock Oreo firmware that came with this phone.

Android 10 GSIs currently do not work with the Ulefone Power 5.

Tried to install the .xz gsi-image in TWRP but that doesn't work. Can anybody tell me how to install this image, because in TWRP you can only choose between .zip and .img install. Thanks in advance!
[Android General] gamr13:
This!
[Android General] gamr13:
Great! Let us know what bugs it has (if any) and especially for TWRP if it has the screen flicker!

I wish someone could complete this project.

I wish for this to work. Unfortunately I only managed to get root with boot.img and twrp.img together. I didn't find a zip that worked properly. It only said corrupted file.

The phone is really good out of the box, except for the Bluetooth. I can't work it with a 2019 Toyota Corolla. Phone works, but music makes bt crash constantly. I have lag and distortion on other vehicles. So I was hoping this project would save the phone from getting swapped.
[Android General] gamr13:
Unfortunately not.

Follow the guide carefully, and make sure this is on a Power 5 not a 5s, some have reported success with a 5s, but I can't confirm this myself. I'm not quite sure what your issue is though, bluetooth audio works just fine for me in our car. Are you using the stock ROM or are you using a GSI (Generic System Image)?

Hi. I thank all my friends for their efforts. I think this subject is very detailed. deserves a nice youtube video. For amateur users like us.Greetings to everyone from Turkey.
[Android General] oes20:
I found out that after flashing the recovery in the recommended way, the stock rom encounters the same lockscreen delays. Just to be sure I flashed the stock firmware, plus the custom recovery. I'm now trying to get back into an custom rom, to see if that makes any difference.

edit:

that didn't work at all, I wasn't even able to flash a rom. I still stand behind my point that the edited vendor partition is causing the lag. I'm setting up my device right now, I hope to get time next week to start debugging that vendor partition. I have never done that, so we'll see. That no encryption mod is a bit unreliable too, I have hard times installing it. I guess the best option is: let the rom encrypt, then dirty flash the mod over that encryption.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] HarshBoy99:
So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own;).

As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.

Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.

If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at xanderapps252@gmail.com

To use it:

Install App.

Disable any battery optimisation for the app.

Give notification access permission.

Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)

Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).

Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color

Thats it.

For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.

Settings image: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yxrLd5u7kLSGBwviKhXYqM21YLC8Dhiv

Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.

App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy

Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k

See settings for your phone for NotifyBuddy on this link: https://dontkillmyapp.com

If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.

Give your feedback!!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] min-dfreak:
Working great, good job!

What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.

Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] devilrulz4ever:
Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.

This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] PapaMag:
I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] HarshBoy99:
Fixed this! Checkout the new version and thanks for trying out the app!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] HarshBoy99:
Added an on/off switch, thanks for feedback
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] HarshBoy99:
Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.

Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.

There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.

Thank You!

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joe199799:
App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.

The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)

Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.

An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)

If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.

That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] HarshBoy99:
Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] emcom:
Hi all,

Taking Lenovo approach into account and strange silence around Z2 Play (when it comes to any updates) I started to think how to use what I have in the best way.

What I think of is that I have the Hasselblad camera module, which was functioning well under previous system release (I mean, the one before February security patch). I am talking about photos quality, because after this patch they did something wrong with the camera, and both phone camera as well as Hasselblad started to produce poor quality images as well as both suffer from terrible shutter lag (sometimes making them unusable)

Now, the main question is, if it's possible for now to downgrade to that system version and (keeping fingers crossed) wait for the Pie to be baked? (I still hope there will be the update...)? I know this would mean manual phone reflash, but I can do this (I have reflashed it manually a year ago to 8.0).

But won't it break any of the functionalities / features ?

Has anyone tried, maybe ?

You can customize it to fit your screen by editing the "desc.txt" file inside the zip

note : always leave an empty line at the end of the text.

Installation procedure :

1. Backup your original "bootanimation.zip" file. It's in /system/media

2. Copy the *.zip file I provided to /system/media and replace it

3. Reboot

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Philnicolls89:
I hope someone reads this as I'm lost for ideas. First time trying to root a device, I'm using an s8+ and somehow managed to mess up installing twrp using Odin.

Now when I try to re flash twrp it comes up with error, 'only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. Also I think I managed to erase the recovery program that comes with the phone as when I try to boot in recovery it now comes up with error message 'No command'.

I have reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin but that hasn't fixed anything.

Anyone got any ideas or insite into this problem. Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm so keen to discover rooting!! ;);)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gazza35:
Seeing No command is normal, with an icon of a dead android lol, thats stock recovery, blue screen, i got that all time, but after waiting about 30 seconds and pressing the buttons, i got the mnue to pop up to reset cache, reboot phone, wipe data etc.

As for TWRP, are you flashing the correct one, dream2lte??, download the latest one, the dream2lte.img .tar file, from the TWRP official website - - https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/twrp-3.3.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar.html.

I had this issue trying to flash TWRP with standard odin, i had to use a modded version of odin to flash it, even prince cosmy version didnt work for me.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pontoon:
Okay I'm still trying to sort this.

I can use my handset for internet. Though it won't let me send email from either my Yahoo or my O2 email accounts. However it does download the yahoo mail.

I still can't get the mms working.

I read through the instructions linked and they seem to be for a slightly different windows setup.

I get the Start - Settings - Connections - connections tab then when adding new it doesn't give you the option of Generic IR Modem. you have the option of Generic IrDA but then it prompts you "Enter the number exactly as it should be dialed. Include any extra numbers such as an outside line or credit card"

I have previously chosen "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" Then filled in the service settings as close as possible.

The APN, - Next

username, password,- Advanced - TCP/IP -Use server-assigned IP address

servers - use specific server address

DNS, Alt DNS - OK

Finish.

There appears to be an awful lot of other things I should be able to fill in, but can't find.

It is windows mobile 5 I'm using.

Anyone got any suggestions. I know there was a weird quirk with some setups so that you had to mms yourself a pic before you could send to anyone else, but this doesn't seem to be the case here as I've tried that too.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] gustavomp:
I installed the Google Clock app because it has the next alarm notification, so I can easily disable it in case I want to, contrary to the stock clock app.

The problem is that on some days none of the several alarms I have ring. Then, sometime later in the day, a bunch of notifications show up listing them as "missing alarms". This doesn't happen with stock app. I think Emui kills the Google Clock's service.

Anyone know a fix for this?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] hawkerpaul:
First thing to try is to manage the Clock app separately in battery settings. Ie.

Settings, Battery, App Launch, Clock, then select all the options (run in background etc)

If its already managed manually, then uninstall and reinstall Clock app from play store (this is what I had to do as it was happening to me, and its been working fine since)

Hi all,

I have tried many custom kernels on here for our Poco and I have noticed that only very few have stune boost,

I'm just wondering do you find stune boost to be more responsive compared to CPU boost? I think it is especially when boosting the top app...

What other kernels are out there with stune boost?

The only one i can find at the moment is Sphinx

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Twisted Prime:
All kernels have schedtune boost including stock kernel.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Damoedge:
Well you are right and wrong in another way...all kernels do have schedtune boost...but....they are very few kernels that allow you to change the values of top/foreground and background boost settings...most don't allow that at all....as I said I have only come across the Sphinx kernel where you can change the values...

I do think that boosting top app schedtune has more of a performance boost compared to CPU boost...

No.

There are unofficial builds, but there is no official LineageOS support. Though the unofficial LineageOS build here on XDA hasn't been updated since February. If unofficial builds are okay for you, it's better to look at the Redmi Note 7:

+ Greater community, unofficial LineageOS is frequently updated (last 26th June)

+ Slightly cheaper

+ 3.5mm Headphone Jack (in what sad times we live, where this is considered a "feature")

+ Better cam

- plastic frame vs metal on Mi 8 Lite, which is a major drawback
