With names you apply for a trademark not a patent. In America, Samsung own the trademark 'Super AMOLED'. I'm not sure where else in the world they have successfully got 'Super AMOLED' trademarked. It's possible that other companies can use the name 'Super AMOLED' in other countries.

When can I buy it in the UK?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] NaAZoOR:
i have a Mi 9T Pro (Global ROM), it doesn't support call recording (Stock Google Dialer) nor showing call waiting.

I'm thinking of flashing Indian ROM as it support these missing features. my question is: what are the differences between the two ROMs??

what will i miss from the global ROM if i switched and what i will get more from the Indian ROM?

Plus: are google apps included in Indian ROM

At last: will i receive software updates (MIUI/android/security patches) after unlocking bootloader to flash the Indian ROM?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
You'll lose NFC functionality. You'll gain Android 10 and probably earlier access to MIUI 11. You'll get an app drawer (which will also be added to MIUI 11 by default, I believe). Otherwise, there's not a great deal of difference. You'll still have the Play Store as standard. People have claimed their phone runs smoother with the Indian ROM, but I'll take that info with a pinch of salt. I think it's just wishful thinking.

OTA for the Indian ROM should work as normal.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] NaAZoOR:
appreciate your answers, but does unlocking bootloader (to flash Indian ROM) affect anything concerning regular updates or support/feedback etc, .... ??

also, any idea of supporting arabic language as for reading online or recognize local stored files on device?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Unlocking bootloader will not affect OTA. You will still get OTA updates on the Indian ROM, as normal. You should still get support as Xiaomi officially allow bootloader unlocking. If you do need to send/take it to a service centre, just flash the phone back to it's original region stock ROM.

I couldn't say for definite what Arabic language support there is, though I would except there to be some.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] raitos:
Hello guys,

I need some help to root my phone. I googling and realized that the SM-950U1 is one of the most annoying Samsungs to root, so I came here to ask for your help !

I am extremely layman and I have no idea what to do to get my root, I searched the internet and saw that the first step would be to enable "Oem Unlocking" in "Developer Mode", but this option did not appear on my Android (9.0 Pie), so I saw that there is a way to fix this, but I followed several tutorials and videos and no method worked...

I am willing to do a little donation to the kind soul who can help me :)

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
The U / U1 ( Snapdragon ) models don't have the ability to have the OEM unlocked.

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] dragokanev:
Hi, I also recently both the Cc9, overlooking that is a Chinese wersion only, but after a bit of struggle managed to install the Google apps and all was working fine for a while. Now when I try to use some Google apps I get a message that there is an error with Google Play Services and it needs attention but when I tap on the message nothing happens. If anyone has experienced the problem and has a solution that will would be great.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] NeoDJW:
Download this first app with chinese name from xiaomi store ( now called " get apps " ) and it will install everything you need for google play services
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] dragokanev:
I already had all Google apps, I even had to uninstall some because the app contained older versions, but they got imidiately updated and same message came up.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] spix123:
Just download the appropriate version of google play services from apkmirror and install it
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] NeoDJW:
Did you try with the chinese app ? If not, try. And you MUST enable work in background in permissions for play services
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] dragokanev:
Thank you very much for your help. Changing the permissions did help and most apps work, although the error message still appears, but there's still problems with some apps. One of the main issues was the Google Pay app, that's why I both this phone instead Redmi Note 7 the NFC function, and changing the permissions allowed me to open the app, set up a payment card and at the end a message came up that the phone can not be used for store payments because it is rooted or altered in some way. I think I will just wait for another rom to come out. It is a nice phone so hopefully Xiaomi will release a global version.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] spix123:
Google pay will not work on CC9 with the official China rom, they don't get it certified by google since google isn't used in China. You'll need to flash a custom rom like xiaomi.eu and even then it can be difficult to get it working. CC9 will never get a an official global rom, if the phone is released globally it will probably be A3 pro (android one) so no miui global rom.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] NeoDJW:
Make sure to give all google play apk's that permission, it solved mine play services error

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mihkeltt:
Phone: Snapdragod S10+ (SM-G9750)

I'm having problems with wifi connection. When connecting to wifi networks the phone either freezes and forces a restart or keeps turning the wifi off and on repeatedly while gaining a connection to the wifi network for about 10 seconds inbetween. This is a brand new phone. Tried resetting the network settings, did a system update, multiple restarts etc - nothing helped.

Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] lambik333:
if it's a brand new phone....go back where you buy it....
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] jhs39:
That could definitely be a hardware problem--I had an OP5 that behaved similarly because it's motherboard was defective. I would boot the phone into Safe Mode to see if it still happens to verify that a third party app isn't causing your problem.

The other software possibility involves how you set up your phone. If you set it up from a backup (including a Google Cloud backup) rather than completely from scratch as a new device it's possible that the backup restored system data that is causing your issue.

Hello,

As you know Kaiser has 128MB of RAM. When you open Memory in settings then you can see that there is only 85.32MB of Program memory. So where is 42,68MB of RAM? Is all gone for pagepool in this ROM?

Best regards.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
Just like yr desktop, everything runs on the machine need memory (RAM). OS (WM6.1), driver, start-up program, phone dialer, today ... etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] art12345:
You are talking about "in use" memory. I am talking about total memory what you can see in memory in settings...

After soft reset i have:

Total: 85.32 MB

In Use: 38:93 MB

Free: 46.39 MB

Anybody can explain me why total memory is only 85.32?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
I know exactly what you are talking about. In older ROMs 6.0 and I believe some of the older 6.1, that amount was closer to the 100MB mark.

Part of that (about 12MB) is used for page pool. However almost that amount was used on the older ROMs as well, so wouldn't account for the almost 15MB disparity we see.

I have asked this question myself a couple times in the ROM development forum...no one has provided an answer. Some suggest that they are using that RAM as additional 'cache' ram of one type or another to improve performance. That seems like it could be a logical reason since whenever you increase other cache's in the registry it takes memory out of that same chunk. The other answer could be that there are newer or more low level drivers that for one reason or another are taking up that RAM.

Fact is no one knows. My bet is on cache of some point, although i can't really say that I see an improvement that would warrant that 15MB of use. There's not much you can do about it at this point other than live with the diminished memory or flash an older ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] art12345:
Before i had HTC Himalaya (128MB of RAM) with WM5 and there when you set up 16MB pagepool then all rest of RAM (112MB) was available in memory applet. I never tried Himalaya with WM6 ROM so i can't tell how much memory was available then. However, thanks for your reply. Regards.

New tests to be done, we've recently gotten video decoding to work and I enabled basic camera support.

OP has been updated with the link to the newest images.

Feel free to post issues here if you are not feeling well with GitHub.

Regarding stock ROM or not:

Any system image should work, you can even wipe system as it's not used.

As long as the ODM partition is flashed everything should be good.

Thanks for the work on this.

I need a little bit more explanation on how to install this. I gave it a try, but I end up in getting a white boot screen with the sony logo. Installing SailfishOS with the flash.sh script works perfectly.

Questions:

- When do you need to use twrp? When running adb?

- Running the halium install script only works when booted into twrp. Is this correct?

- Do you need to manually boot into fastboot mode (volume up, blue led)?

- The sailfish installation uses oem for android 6, here 7 is used. Can this make the difference?

Thanks for any support.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] samijam:
Sorry for the late reply. I got it to work now. My problem was using an outdated system.img and boot.img. (oops, sorry, my bad!) I had downloaded the newer versions, but had them in the wrong directory. Once I deleted the old and installed the correct versions, I was able to get audio in calls and had the basic camera functionality.

---------- Post added at 16:43 ---------- Previous post was at 16:37 ----------

boot into fastboot and flash the oem:

fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img

then boot into twrp recovery and wipe /system and /data

while in twrp, run the halium-install.sh script (because the computer needs to connect to phone in adb mode, which twrp provides)

following from there, as you see in the first post, you will run "adb reboot bootloader" (but I think I did have to do it manually) which should put you back into fastboot mode where you'll "fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img"

then you should be able to reboot into ubuntu. The first boot takes a little longer.

Ok, so I did install the stock rom through EMMA fine. I did enable the usb debugging, installed twrp, wiped system & data, made sure they are EXT4. Rebooted to fastboot, installed SW binaries. Opened UBports Installer & proceeded with instructions. I got this error

Error: systemimage: Error: Error: {"error":{"killed":false,"code":1,"signal":null,"cmd":"C:\\Users\\domin\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\1Uo4H80AYPnCivmpnC8M9LLWxLb\\resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\platform-tools\\win\\adb -P 5037 shell mount -a"},"stdout":"","stderr":"mount: mounting /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata on /data failed: Invalid argument"}

Any solutions, did I miss something? I gonna retry without the twrp step, as I am pretty sure the partition format will be EXT4

does not work at all

I have been trying for 7 hours to get this blasted os onto my sony Xperia x and im about to give up

I have updated the rom to android 8, I have flashed the oem image but after the installer flashes the firmware the phone reboots and the installer complains that it has lost the connection,im at my wits end with it.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] deprecated:
procedure that works:

restore to latest stock using the Emma tool

power phone off, wait 5 seconds, hold vol up while inserting USB cable (to enter fastboot)

fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0

remove usb cable

power phone off (helps to hold down power + vol up until you feel it vibrate several times)

boot into twrp by holding down vol down + power

wipe /data and /system

power off

hold vol up while inserting USB cable (to enter fastboot)

fastboot erase userdata

power phone off (helps to hold down power + vol up until you feel it vibrate several times)

boot into twrp by holding down vol down + power

run ubports installer, wait for it to do its thing

let Ubuntu Touch boot up (it may reboot several times, nothing to be alarmed about)

The Xperia X is very finnicky with this process, but this is the only way I got it to work. After many hours (and duplicating this process about six times now, to make sure it works), I've got Ubuntu Touch running on my old Xperia X - previously running official Sailfish. It'll be a test device, because my daily driver is now an XA2 Ultra running official Sailfish.

Enjoy, and if you have any trouble let me know.

[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] &(*):
There's another post on UBports of it being possible for other platforms. I realize the cpu and board architecture are different, I believe that other device's configs could be added to the installer there (UBPorts). Since both the X performance, XZ, & XZs share software binaries I am wondering why the instructions don't include those models too? I would like to get this working on other devices but the dev isn't responding, as I am tired of android software sources.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Aaskereija:
yes, by compiling the whole thing by yourself with the needed adjustments

i hardly believe so.

you can't just copy & paste binaries from one phone to another and expect them to work, even if they share the same mainboard. As i said, if you want Ubuntu Touch for X Compact, you have to build it by yourself from scratch, you cant use the F5121 version. I don't understand how you think that this could work, you also can't use any Android Custom-Rom from another phone because all drivers are different and what not and we talk about a complete different OS Struktur here. I strongly recommend you to not f up your phone for nothing if you still plan to use it for a longer time. i'm not an expert at all, but it sounds very logic to me that this can't work
