i got info from a close source working in realme that bootloader will be unlocked in December 2019 after they release realme os.

So we can expect rom development in Q1 2020.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Sohail__Saha:
Realme OS this December? I just hope they do away with the heavy skinning of the ColorOS.:eek:
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Watson96:
Lol seems that's not possible. Madhav already mentioned stock Android is "not optimised" and raw so it needs "optimisation" and modifications. Kinda dumb excuse imo. Skin does not affect performance much. So you can build vanilla Android with good optimised vendor files and kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krvopije:
As I can't create new Threads in the important/dev forums I have no choice but to do it here.

I am trying to change the OS of a friends phone from his Android 7.1.2 to LineageOS. I was able to successfully change my OS to Lineage on my HTC U11 and some other phones,

but I just can't do anything with the CAT S31 and can't unlock the phone at all. Tried rooting it with KingRoot, RootKHP Pro, ZYKURoot, iRoot and many others.

And I guess that is the main reason I get the following error when I try to flash TWRP:

UNKNOWN:~$ fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/twrp.img
target reported max download size of 262144000 bytes
sending 'recovery' (46312 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.536s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 1.537s

I have been searching for 12-15 hours for some informations on the internet about how to root that damn phone, but I am simply done now.

Can someone shares his experience with me and tell me some way to root that thing?

-----------------------------------

Seems like it only took some minutes to show my post in a different thread https://xdaforums.com/general/help/caterpillar-s31-root-t3784505

Maybe if someone knows anything he could post it there and we could close this thread at some point. THX and sorry for the "double post".

Point 2: tray to rec videos with opencam or edgecam. You can choose 1x camera and zoom in or you can choose 5x camera. No changes between they.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dougm1970:
"2. Camera:

- There is no way to force the camera app to use the optical 5x zoom in photo mode/videos when the light is low. For me it was a huge issue when I was recording a concert and the camera was jumping constantly between 5x optical and digital zooms. Digital had more view on scene where the light was good, so it jumped to optical lens, optical view is out of sync so bigger part of view was on the dark crowd and it jumped back to optical again. There was no way to record it with zoom."

this to me is a huge issue...as i was trying to photo one of our dogs in evening time and it would only zoom via digital.....every now and then it would flicker to ultra clear optical but not for long enough to get a shot.

no workaround at all for it ?...i see no mention of it in google searches.

i can imagine being in the same situation as you recording a gig and that would be troublesome.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] HDJ80:
To always photograph at 5x optical use the professional mode.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Neo Cortex:
Open Camera allows you to cycle through the lenses.

ID 0 is normal mode with multi-lenses

ID 1 is front camera

ID 2 is main lens

ID 3 is wide angle lens

ID 4 is zoom
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dougm1970:
thanks.

i don't see the option to do this.

i should add a disclaimer though...i'm an idiot.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Neo Cortex:
You just tap the icon to switch to the selfie camera and when you tap it again it takes you to the next lens. I discovered it by accident
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Pivoo:
Yes, for photo it works, but then you get no AI... Also normal photo AI handles the 5x zoom when light is low better than pro, I guess it takes digital zoom which is bright and merges it with optical which is dark

As for the video, I tried the open camera, but from what I can see, it only allows to switch between normal 1x and 5x zoom, but when you zoom to 5x it works the same as huawei built in cam app... So it switches to digital and back to optical all the time.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] HDJ80:
Edgecam also allows you to use all the lenses

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

With edgecam or opencam you can choose the lense.

If you choose 1x lense an make zoom is only digital zoom.

For 5x optical zoom you must change to 5x lense.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Neo Cortex:
Mine stays on optical all the time in video.

Yes pictures are generally better with AI but OC enables you to stay with optical even when light is low.

By ghost notifications i mean there is a sound and vibration but nothing else. Now I am pretty used to them, but from day one and after a couple of updates, they are still present.

Is it possible for 3rd party developers to insert lines of code which would record and transmit anything we type? ( i.e. Social media username and passwords, bank accounts, Google wallet data, TAC codes etc?)

Yea sure, Lineage and Resurrection OS have reputable Roms and developers, but who's regulating the Roms they release?

I've stopped using custom Roms because this keeps worrying me.

Hope someone knowledgeable could shed some light on this issue.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
The opposite was asked here https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7/how-to/regarding-analytics-t3959665

:D

Custom roms are most likely open source, so... Just look at the source code if you have security concerns. Otherwise trust closed source oem roms which cannot be manipulate with locked bootloader :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] optimumpro:
If you think that anyone is regulating OEM roms, think again.

Even if you can verify open source rom, you can only be sure that there is nothing 'extra', when you compile it yourself. Otherwise, nothing prevents the dev from inserting whatever he wants into the source he is compiling. In other words, his published sources could be one thing, but the binary (published rom) could be another (I am not suggesting anyone does that).

But in general, use a firewall, such as Afwall, where you can block internet access to everything, except messengers, browsers etc... .

I need a little help with WMWifiRouter please.

phone: xv-6800

rom: dcd 3.0.4

radio: 3.35.04

I downloaded and installed the trail version of WMIWifiRouter. I have gotten it to the point that it starts up cleanly, my laptop see's the connection and the laptop says it is connected.

I can not browse any websites from the laptop. I did not install any other hacks to make this work, I didn't make any registry changes, etc, etc, etc. Is there something else I need to do, I've never even did tethering with this. Ultimately I want this to work so my PSP and iTouch can use the connection.

WMWifiRouter Fix

You didn't give the version of router SW. I'll assume it's the newest. I had a problem with this new version from the get-go. I reverted to version .91 and it works like a charm. Make sure you have ICS (internet connection software) installed. You're running DCD's so it should be there. I'm on the stock rom Rev A and .91 works perfect for me.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tisenberg:
I was using the latest trail version, I have now uninstalled it and installed the .91 version. I am running into the same problem, it connects then sits on Acquiring Network Address for a long time and then I end up with 169.254.101.184/255.255.0.0 which does nothing for me.

I've tried it with and without "Use DHCP Allocator" and I've tried it by browsing the wireless connections available as well as making an adhoc computer to computer one from the laptop.

Wireless see's the SID, and when connected it says "Unsecured computer-to-computer network. ICS appears to be running and connected and WMWifiRouter appears to be running/ready.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ammaralidj:
Hello / As Salam o Alikum Guys

I was previously using Redmi Note 7 but now i want some change, i was thinking to buy Pocophone F1, but first i want to know your experience with this device.

My basic use multimedia and lite gaming (btw i never play Pubg :)

I have some questions in mind

1. Is it still worth buying in 2019?

2. Is the Camera, display and sound quality is good as compared with Redmi Note 7?

If you are kind enough, please share your valuable comments.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nC3rtaintiy:
1. Yes it still is, the price for Poco has gone down significantly too 6GB+128GB is priced at ₹18,999 in India.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ammaralidj:
Thanks for your reply.

What about "2"
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ron_hyatt:
its worth buying in 2019 ONLY if you can guarantee your unit will not have a bad display and accordingly will not give you any hardware-related touch issues!

I advise you to read threads on poco f1 section on xda talking about touch issues to get an idea about how BAD it is then decide to buy or not!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] SerpentSpirale:
Worth buying this phone, even if you can lose many hours tinkering around in order to achieve the best performance.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] illumanati22:
Poco f2 is almost on surface, i would suggest to get a new version rather buying almost 10 month old device it's a good phone.... Well you're the deciding party here.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
Since you are coming from RN7 and looking for change then here is my honest advice for you, unless pocof1 is on huge Discount price, DONOT buy & wait and seriously consider buying upcoming A3plus

why?

I am using this device for last few months and this is my review about it

1. I wish, I wish and I WISH xiaomi would have released this device on Android One. the developers on xda would have done so much with it!

2. since its on typical miui10 and may go on 11, you won't feel much of a difference coming from Rn7 to F1... Accept the

3. huge usles notch on top which eats 70% of status bar! , its really annoying and design fault!

4. after unlocking, i am using havoc since day1 , because i found f1 screen veiwing angels not convincing enough and needs certain fix in TINT, COLOR, BRIGHTNESS by Kcal so I had to Root and Use HAvoc. Yes I could flash any kernel even on MIUI but there is strange policy of Navigation Bar in over all MIUI that it stays WHITE most of the time and KEYBOARD switch key NEVER appears on NAVBAR, its in notification panel! so if i have switch to English (swiftkey) to Urdu Gboard I must scroll down the quicksettings panel and located "switch input method" in list of notifications to select different keyboard! .. this is a huge bummer for me and because of this factor I am going to buy devices not having miui or keyboards in notification panel!

5. also PocoF1 has MODIFIED VENDOR image from Xiaomi hence tweaks like VOLUME BOOSTER only works on kernel level which is still NOT GOOD enough in my dictionary. when i was on RedmiNote5pro, I had always alter Mixer Path file in system/vendor/etc to 120 from 84 ( RX mix digital line) which use to give BOOMING sound to all music tracks! but on F1, even I raise the volume to 20 from 0, i still miss the RN5pro tweak because PocoF1's vendor folder don't have Mixer Patch.XML file to play with!

6. since modified vendor+firmware policy. pocoF1 gives strange system UI crashes on usb tethering for 3g connections. (there is a fix but its annoying)

7. on hardware side, the device gets HOT easily! yes it doesnt hang but it gets hot! and scares you! (even on custom roms and doze enabled)

my mind is set on A3Plus because its going to be on AndroidOne out of the box, 6gb / SD710 (which predominantly has better temperature and battery control w.r.t to SD845) and A3pro had very small notch.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mrdream94:
I'm disagreement with point 7. This device heats up only when you play heavy games. And not too much... MIUI have some special thermal profiles that keeps temperature low.

About point 3, the notch is big, yes, but it gives IR camera which allows you to unlock you phone with the face on completely dark rooms.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ammaralidj:
Yes, that's what i was looking for.

RN5 Pro was my first Xiaomi phone and yes that was one of the best i've ever used.

What do you think about MI 8SE, it have Amoled display and SD 710
