Congrat!

YAY !!!!!!!! Moderator for Excalibur!!! FINALLY :)

First, lets do some stickys haha

1) Wiki

2) Rules & FAQ for the forum

3) Most useful threads for

....
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
Yes

Oh Thank you Pudge & Luky for offering your services. Thank You XDA for answering the call. Have a wonderful day you already made mine! :)
[HTC Excalibur] bigteribletexas:
Thank goodness!

Maybe this will lead to a reduction in redundant questions by people who do not even bother to search this huge forum and its wealth of knowledge, if that is even possible. I think the most pertinent topics should indeed be stickied, along with deletion or condensation of old threads that are either not relevant, duplicated, or never received replies. Trim the fat, ya know? Thanks for committing your time and effort to make this forum as productive as possible!
[HTC Excalibur] beartard:
Finally! Congrats, guys. Be good public servants. ;)

I would definitely add a sticky to the wiki, but I'd also suggest you two be careful when sticky-ing things. If there are too many stickies, it ends up being the same situation we have now.

Cleaning up the posts we have now is more important than stickies.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Thanks for your feedback and wishes. We'll keep that in mind.

Phase 1 will be clean up mode

Phase 2 will be organization mode

Phase 3 will be sticky mode

and so on...

Check back for updates, comments etc.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Congrats guys ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
New sheriffs in town...

Congrats Pudge and 'bandit...:D I look forward to you guys helping to clean up this town! lol
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
FYI, Mikey has also been selected as a Moderator.

Congrats, Mikey :)

Myself, Pudgedaddy & Mikey will be moderating the Excalibur forum as well as the smartphone forums. Any concerns, comments & suggestions, please feel free to post here or PM us. We'll do the best we can to cater to your needs.

Important Announcement: This thread as well as other threads will be revamped, edited and threads that need to be stickied will be done over the weekend.

I would appreciate everybody's cooperation with us and help us make this a cleaner & better place.

Thanks for your co-operation in this matter.
[HTC Excalibur] Clydeistheshit:
Congrats guys I am glad that we finally have the three of you to keep this forum a little more organized.
[HTC Excalibur] cassiano:
First, congrats to all the new mods!

Secondly, i suggest polishing and sticking Profezza's post about official ROMs (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=offical+rom).

That's what I got for now.

Cheers.
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
I just fixed a problem that I created a thread for. I would like to know how to change the thread title to include, "solved", in the title. This way everyone would know that the problem has been fixed. Sorry, if this is already possible. I cannot figure out how to do it. Thanks, and if you want update my sorry, not a noob thread, if you want, to say solved in the title. My last post explains everything. Later.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
My bad...

When I made my post, Mikey wasn't a Moderator yet. Congrats goes out to Mikey as well. Here, here!
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
We can close it out?....if that would help.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Thanks Bud
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
I was contemplating on closing it out but don't close it because if we do close it, then people who need help on the same topic could have issues that outerdepth didn't have. If you think closing it could help, then please proceed mikey.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Mikey & Pudgedaddy - Stickies need to be cleaned up i.e. every unrelated post should be deleted in my opinion. We shall split up stickies when I get a chance to talk to you guys then work on making this place much more organized as well as make it easy for newbies to get the information they need.Please comment.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Guys, I understand there are a lot of stickies at the moment. Everything will be re-organized, edited and finalized hopefully by the end of this weekend so there's only "threads" that absolutely need to be stickied.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Cool with me...i love clean "threads" Women love them as well on a guy :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
I'm sure it would have to be a group project but how about a topic or something with the best freeware applications out there? For exmaple, opera mini, TCMP...ect.
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
Congratulation to all new moderators.

satru
[HTC Excalibur] suprajztwenty:
finally everything everyone needs right there sticky, much appreciated. looking forward to a cleaner forum, keep up the good work
[HTC Excalibur] wyzepro:
congrats to the mods....looking forward to the thread growing in new ways.....
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'd like to suggest number the stickied threads so they flow in a natural order. Put a "1." in front of Kavana's thread so it's all the way at the top. A "2." for the Tegic Fix, or even better insert a post right after the first post in that thread in big bold letters, saying you need to apply this. "3." for Rick's ROM. "4." for customizing panels.. . etc etc Right now, a newbie wouldn't know where to start! :P And please cleanup the stickies... don't let them grow into monster threads with useless conversations in them... :)
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
Hey, thanks, Cassiano, for the new Port. ROM link, as well as the recommendation to sticky it! Congrats moderatos, too, I've been superswamped with work all of the sudden, which is good, but I've not been here much. However, the threads I've just peeked in on are immediately more readable! :) FYI, I have a subscription to the ROMs thread, and try to keep up with it... if anyone ever gets a link to how-to rip images, I would love to maybe link to that in the same thread, in order to get more images for us.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
I have numbered the Sticky's as per Organic's suggestion as well as clean up the customize your slide panels homescreen thread. Not only did i clean up but also thought it's best to put the wiki into a thread itself, making it easier for newbies as most newbies are either too lazy to go to it or keep asking you more questions.

Please suggest any more stickies if you guys need it otherwise it looks good for now.

If you guys have any more comments, suggestions - please feel free to let me know. Thanks, guys.

Concern

I have a concern. When I click on RIP's Configuration link, I go to the set up for Internet, follow the directions to the T, and everytime I try to go to a site, it says: "error, the remote party has ended this connection." What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Excalibur] :
That's a great idea. I wish there was a way to make your sticky wiki update with the actual one, though. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
Remember that every newcomer is different....

You should remember that each newcomer has never seen this forum before. Therefore, you can't educate them, they're all different...

There is a huge population of people who have never laid eyes on this forum. If you want them to stop posting "where can I find the best ROM" threads, it will not help to teach them, to reprimand them, or to delete their threads. For every one that comes to the forum and posts, there are 10 others that will do the same next week, and they will also never have seen any of the posts or your answers to them.

So, if there really are too many such posts, they can only be battled by changing what a newcomer sees when he/she first enters the forum.

This could mean stickies - and it is much better already! Maybe we should have a boldface sticky saying something like

"NEWCOMERS - READ THIS FIRST!!!"

It also seems that people do not use the search function enough, and don't find answers when they do.

I'm not sure what one can do for that. Is it possible to make the "search this forum" button bigger? Bolder? Redder? It took me a while to find it....

And, I have to say that results of searches are hard to interpret. Even when I know exactly what I'm looking for, I sometimes can't find it in the forum. But what can one do to make this better?
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Good Suggestion.

PM Pudgedaddy or Mikey and ask them if they could make a thread like that. I'm very busy until next Monday so I apologize for not being able to do it but they should definitely help you out.If anything, I'll do it over the weekend.

In regards to the search button, I can't change or edit the way it looks except put a sticky out there for everyone to SEARCH before you create a new thread. That's all I can do in regards to the search button.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Great Suggestion ! At least someone thinks for the future. I'll look into it, Can't guarantee a sticky, though because there's way too many stickies. Hope you understand.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Have you ever read the Excalibur Wiki-Peek & Learn? It covers most of it. On the other hand, in regards to your suggestions - if you do have a million ideas - get to work so everyone can share and provide for this community. If you really want to help, why not come up with a FAQ that you think is best for this community so we could implement it in one sticky but if you ever get a chance, check out the HTC Excalibur Wiki and the link to the FAQ there.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
PM Pudgedaddy and see what he can do about this. It's a good suggestion, however I'm not the best at it.
[HTC Excalibur] jarednish:
Some good ideas,2 fold.

first, im not sure if it exists already, but is there a "wap" version of xda developers that runs smoother on the dash? if not, that would be useful.

Second, for the coders/themers out there why it there a white 6.1 theme, or i mean, a white start menu bar with black text, or even a bottom bar that matches the Panel UI, maily just a clear glass Panel startbar. that would be cool. :-)
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
Light Bulb

Maybe we should make a tutorial on how to use the search? Few screen caps for the tasteful eyes of newbs. I'm not saying I'm the brightest lightbulb either but sometimes you want to bring out the stick and give'm a whack and say "NO!"

Quiz

1. Do you know where the search button is?

Check

2. Do you know where or what a Sticky is?

Check

3. Are you wearing your reading glasses or thinking cap?

Check

4. Ok, your set....oh wait that's your helmet
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
5. Have you read taken time to fully understand this?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
When new users sign up, they should have to complete this course, it would help out a lot.:D And after a stupid post, they should have to retake the course before being able to post again.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Oh and how about a walkthrough on how to install a .cab :D
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
ok. here is the long version:

step 1: click on the cab file

step 2: select device or storage card

step 3: have the closest person near you take your phone and smash you in the head with it.

any questions?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
step 1: transfer to phone via async

step 2: click on the cab file

step 3: select device or storage card

step 4: have the closest person near you take your phone and smash you in the head with it. :D
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
i downloaded the cab file using my phones interwebz browser. SO THERE! :cool:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
But where do I put all the files that came inside the cab file?
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
i can think of atleast 1 place.
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
How about a disclaimer at the end of the updating ROM sticky...If you have problems you are probably not intelligent enough to use this ROM? Oh...and put a thread to sell your phone for parts here afterwards. I guess it's just that when the cooked ROMS first came out that there was just written instructions. Or even the leaked official ROMS. Now it's just gravy but there still seems to be a few bozo's.
[HTC Excalibur] jslerner:
to all the wise guys out there

i know how to install a cab file on my phone. the messge i posted is that the usual procedures of transferring the cab and then installing were not working. the phone just hangs when i try to run the install.

thanks anyway.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carl807:
After flashing and upgrading to pie, my camera stopped working as a whole. The app freezes every time you open it, and the camera is no longer recognized by apps (e.g. Instagram) and the facial recognition setup. The flashlight also doesn't work anymore.

Along with this issue, some Google apps have strange behavior (e.g play music doesn't download music, youtube never loads, etc.), which persisted even when I uninstalled and reinstalled the apps.

Did I do something wrong? I'm running pie US99830B on a H931 frankensteined to US998. The way I flashed it follows these instructions https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/guide-booting-aosp-stock-pie-us998-t3954155 but replacing the last step with flashing of the US99830B zip (the other methods of flashing resulted in the phone being stuck at the LG Life's Good logo). What should I do?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Try Dev Patched LGUP Refurbish to PIE KDZ. Or Partition DL to Pie KDZ.

You probably have some H933 Partitions confusing things.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carl807:
So from my installation, do I just get into download mode and refurbish to the pie kdz? Do I need to do any additional prep work, or is that it?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I would try Partition DL with all partitions.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carl807:
I managed to solve the problem.

What I did is that I reflashed the US99830B zip in TWRP, reflashed magisk, and cleared the cache/dalvik. Then everything worked, from the camera to youtube to the google apps.

Thanks for your help though. I'll keep that in mind the next time I screw up.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kerdelgreen767:
U dirty flashed or wiped then flashed?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] carl807:
I dirty flashed over my current installation.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kerdelgreen767:
Ok having same issue as you so gonna try it now

---------- Post added at 05:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ----------

That fixed it... Thanks a lot

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] lexjay:
Currently using a generic capacitive stylus and it does not work great. Mind sharing your stylus and share your thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] iceepyon:
To be honest if you really want a tablet with a stylus, you should have gone with either the SGTS4 or the SGTS6 as both of those have the S-Pen. Which is the best stylus for a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] elcidroyale:
To be honest, this is not helpful to tell someone they should have gone with another tablet for stylus support. How does this help?

I have the Galaxy Tab S5e because it's cheaper. Many styli do work on most if not all tablets. The only thing that tablets that have official stylus support offer is pressure sensitivity and palm rejection. Two features which are only necessary for artists. For taking notes, I don't give a F about pressure sensitivity nor do I rest my palm on the screen/ paper when I write.

I'll be testing some styli and get back to OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] lewmur:
It helps by telling you you are wasting you time looking for a stylus for the S5e. There are two types of stylus. A plain capacitive touchscreen stylus that won't draw a line any finer than you can with your finger, and an electronic one like the S-Pen that will draw a line like a ballpoint pen. But the electronic one won't work with the S5e, so don't bother looking for one. They require a second digitizer that is situated behind the LCD and the S5e doesn't have one. The cost of that second digitizer is why the S-Pen tablets are more expensive. The pens themselves are fairly cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] pedro3731:
I have Adonit stylus Dash 3 Silver, it works pretty well. It has problem when you are trying draw really slowly, It makes some weird curved lines. But I am using Sketchbook by Autodesk and it has some line smoothing what really helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] ExTall:
Hi there

Let's be a bit more positive

I use a meko stylus. They are double ended.

One end is the normal blunt sort of stylus, which is great for on screen typing, while the other has a clear disc which allows you to see exactly where the fine center is touching the screen.

The actual stylus looks like a high quality steel pen with rubber finger grip

I bought a set of two 'pens' with 6 spare tips from Amazon for around £10 over a year ago and have only used 2 of the spare tips

Excellent quality and value. Highly recomanded.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] lewmur:
I will grant you that that type of stylus beats the kind you can buy for about 50 cents each. But it is still a capacitive stylus that won't produce the fine line of an electronic one. There are apps which attempt to produce a "fine line" by extrapolating what would be the center of the "fat" line, but the results leave a lot to be desired. Bottom line, if you are serious needing a good stylus for your device, you need to purchase a tablet that was made for one. It's easy to tell. If the tablet didn't come with a stylus, it wasn't made for one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Accessories] lewmur:
Seems I've been handing out mistaken advice about stylii for "touch only" tablets. S-Pen and other "Wacom" based stylii DO require a second digitzer to work and most tablets simply don't have them. HOWEVER, I puchased a BoxWave Active Sylus because it was touted to work with my HP Envy X360 laptop. Just to prove it wouldn't work with a "touch only" tablet, I tried it with both my SM-T510 and T720 tablets. Much to my surprise, it works with both of them. I've never used a stylus for drawing, so I can't guarantee it works as well as an S-Pen, but it does produce a "ballpoint pen" type line in the drawing apps I tried. Also, the line width doesn't appear to be "pressure sensitive". I was able to buy mine on eBay for about $20, new with free shipping.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mark.dx:
Recently I noticed that my MI A2 couldn't connect to PC in MTP to backup some photos. This didn't happened before because I was successfully flash Havoc OS and did backup photos several times ago.

I also tried to connect my phone while in TWRP but it didn't detected in Windows. I checked Device Manager while trying to connect the phone to PC there is no Android Phone device popped up like usual.

What I have tried:

- Re-flash the ROM (didn't work)

- Change the cable (didn't work even with the original cable included with the phone)

- Change to other PC (didn't work)

- Enable USB debugging (didn't work)

Additional Note:

- MIA2 in HavocOS 2.8 latest build [Android Pie]

- Windows 10 Build 1903 latest update

- Xiaomi Driver is installed as I frequently flashing my phone.

- Somehow Headphone still working using Type-C Adapter to 3.5mm

UPDATE (5/1/2021)

Hi All,

Just want to give you quick update on what happened to my MI A2 at the moment.

After looking for a fix in several month and no solution found at all, I bought a new port connector.

I tried to swapped the port myself but the problem still exist with the new port.

I even tried to use port connector for Redmi 6X (its similar but have a slight different) and yet the problem still there.

My final conclusion that this problem may be located on its mainboard. Now I have change my phone to Mi 9T Pro and put the MI A2 on my desk drawer. The phone still works and charging normally but I can't use it for work because I need it to able connect to PC.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] egantz09:
I had the same issue with stock pie, replacing the usb sub-board didn't solve anything, I'm still looking for a solution.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mark.dx:
I just noticed this recently. The weird part is the headphone still works using adapter type-C to 3.5mm so I doubt it was physical problem with the port more like software thing.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xplancer99:
same too

i got same issue, its after update with build v10.0.13. before that version usb working fine, when i attach usb cable its can show usb option. now its only show grey (all disable). i think its bug in rom
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] TechnoSparks:
I had this issue as well but after trying other ports it worked for me. The strange thing is that, the previous known failed ports will always not allow me to use MTP after PC reboots.

My PC is a Ryzen build if that of any help. I do not face this issue with my laptop which is an Intel build.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mark.dx:
My PC is also Ryzen but it wont detect in any port, also in my old laptop which is USB Port 2.0 and have Intel processor didn't work either like it used to be.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] TechnoSparks:
I think it is worth trying to connect USB OTG and see if it works. I am curious about it.

It may also be possible that your ROM or maybe something along the way have made this issue. But hey this is just a guess. I am just as clueless [emoji853]

Maybe i would try

• Flash stock partitions except boot & system

• Format Data

• Revert back to stock (not really a [desirable] solution)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mark.dx:
I can't do flash at moment because I need to make backup in case of failure. This is my daily driver phone so there is important messages, photos etc.
