[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
XDA itself is not involved in which devices do or don't get support or custom development.

It is up to the community of members, it is the members that figure out rooting methods and it is members that create the custom developments that are available here. It isn't like XDA has a team of people that are tasked with developing for every single android device model that is created/sold.

Devices that do not have known rooting methods or have no custom development of any kind are due to several reasons, such as:

1) there are not enough users in the community that own the device

2) the device has no stock firmware available and/or does not have a stock source code that is available to the public. Without these, custom ROMs can not be created.

3) there are no users or developers with the experience or skills to create custom software that own the device. Developers only build for devices they personally own and real developers don't buy cheap, off-brand, unpopular devices. If someone here owned a device like yours and had the skills to build ROMs, there would probably already be ROMs for your device.

If your device does not have a stock firmware that is available and has no stock source code available and you do not have the necessary developer skills, you are out of luck when it comes to customizing your device or ever seeing custom development for your device.

If your stock source code was available, you could have tried paying a developer to develop ROMs your device, but it would have required you buying another device like yours and sending that device to the developer so they could use it for testing what they build before releasing their development to the community here.

If you really want to blame someone, blame yourself for buying a device that no developer would ever care about working with.

If you want to be able to customize a device, here is some advice.

1) don't buy cheap, low end, off brand, unpopular devices, it doesn't have to be an expensive flagship device, there are some decent mid-range devices that receive custom development.

2) don't buy a device that does not have stock firmware available and/or has no stock source code available.

3) you are going about it all wrong, don't go buy a device and then come here looking to see if anything is available here for the device. Come here first and see what devices have available development here and what those developments are and use that information to choose which device to go buy and THEN go buy the device.

So, you see, there is a lot more to the story than just.....

"Hey, I got an android device and I'd like to root it and use custom ROMs on it"
[General Questions and Answers] DEXXO:
Thanks for the Info

but wich Phone a buy a surely i dont need XDA or Ask about if they have open Codes or Stock Roms:highfive:

this Palm Phone PVG -100 is realy Unic in the hole Marked , because iz small (xtrem and has hightech from today) 8 Core Snap Dr.. alot Ram and iz

incredible Fast . And my Question for Rooting a sutch device iz more about that you can remove some Provider Bloatware. etc.

how said we will see what will come on the Comunity for this Device

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Whether or not the stock firmware and stock source code is available or not is absolutely essential to building custom ROMs.

Ok, have it your way then. Continue wasting your time and money on devices that will probably never have anything posted here to root or modify them.

As I said, not all devices get rooting methods and custom development posted here, only the ones owned by people who had the experience to root the device and/or build custom ROMs, they find a rooting method for their device themselves then post the method here or they create custom development for their device themselves then post it here.

You don't understand how things actually work here or where the information posted here actually comes from. It comes from users just like you and I that figure it out for themselves if nothing is here and then post it here for others. There is no way to know which devices will gain root until AFTER it has already been figured out, we can not know BEFORE. We can not look into the future and predict when or if "this" or "that" device will have a rooting method discovered, it can't be done, so there is no point in asking "When will this device have root?" because an answer to that question does not exist.

No one knows which devices will receive development or rooting methods. That depends on who buys one of the devices and if they decide to modify the device, if they have the knowledge to do so.

You will just have to wait and see.

In my honest opinion, that device will probably never have anything useful posted here. I can go ahead and tell you that device is, more than likely, not popular enough to receive support here at XDA.

If you feel like you would like to try and learn how to root the device and learn how to develop custom ROMs and such, by all means, go ahead. You will probably gain root and have custom development for your device sooner if you just do it yourself. Your only other option is to wait to see if someone else figures something out that works on your device, which isn't very likely to happen any time soon. It doesn't matter how cool the device is or what the specs are, if no one with experience buys the device, it doesn't get support in this community.

By the way, depending on the security measures that have been implemented in your devices stock firmware, adb can be used to remove bloatware without root.

Do a Google search for:

"Remove bloatware without root"

You'll find lots of information about using adb to remove bloatware.

Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] snoopy20:
You can disable (for all) or "uninstall" for the current user most the bloatware. A few things are tied to receiving SMS but you can read about the ones you can safely remove in the battery life thread I created. That thread assumes you're not too bothered about automatic updates as they are pushed by verizon.

[General Questions and Answers] 2PiSquared:
If the phone hasn’t a permanent root yet, does that mean no apks can be extracted from it?

I’m looking to try and figure out how to get the palm launcher on my own device, but I don’t see anyone’s who ported it or extracted it as of yet, and I’d hate to ask someone to try if I know they aren’t able to.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As long as you do it while the device is rooted, you shouldn't have a problem.
[General Questions and Answers] 1806:
com.tct.pepitolauncher.apk
[General Questions and Answers] 2PiSquared:
Thank you, got it on my device!

For anyone trying this themselves, I had to decompile the app, modify the manifest and remove the sharedUserId, and recompile and resign to get it to install. Then I had to give it secure settings permissions via root so it wouldn't crash.

Since my phone is larger and a has a QHD display, the apps were a bit small and it didn't fit well. Changing DPI did not fix, the launcher seems to only look at resolution, not DPI. So, I then changed the resolution of my device to match the Palm and decreased my dpi to make other apps still usable. Not sure what the default palm DPI and text size are, but I found a happy medium for me.

Only issue is for some reason the google search bar up top doesn't appear on the home screen but I can still click the area and get to search, not sure why, but works well otherwise. The left pane on the home screen is also black but I don't know what's supposed to go there. Probably some other dependency I don't know about. Widget pane on the right works though.

Overall pleased, thanks again!

Edit: got it to work perfectly by setting is as a privileged app and turning off dark mode. Left side pane is google now page, and top search bar now appears properly.
[General Questions and Answers] drmcatchr:
Hello, Is there a way to edit the APN. It seems to be locked.
[General Questions and Answers] snoopy20:
It's locked compliments of Google applying restrictions in Android 8.1. Remember when Google did no evil? ;)

Root and edit /vendor/etc/apn....xml

Then go to Settings -> Mobile etc -> APN -> "Restore Defaults"

This will import the xml into the sql database. If any value matches your carrier it will apply automatically. I had to do this to get it working on 3 here in the UK.

Usb tethering works fine, you just need a shortcut app to get to the settings page. There is no wifi tethering, it's disabled. Now that I have root though I might look for a way to enable since it's a software restriction.

1. it requires another google service apk to impersonate the hardware chip found in the Pixel 3 and 4. I can't remember what it is but even then will it work...

2.

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

mount -o rw,remount /vendor

rm -rf ****packages be careful, my list in the other thread is safe***

3. Many 4G bands are not enabled in Europe. It's a known "problem" or restriction and there isn't a solution yet.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr. JAVI:
I totally agree with you [MENTION=10300855]DEXXO[/MENTION], After all, this is labeled under "General discussion Questions and Answers*Palm pvg100 questions" and you ask a question to thst effect. Like the own the place. Why create a thread "Questions and Answers" about the Palm PVG-100 and then ridicule you for asking a question to the exact same topic in the title.

As for XDA is about Software only, thats just untrue. You have a right to ask questions and if thoughs member don't like it thats theit choice. You have just ss much a right to post as they do. As long as you are not breaking policy rules, and your not, don't worry about it. I believe things could have been handled simple by suggesting to you to open your own thread.

As for XDA is a software only site, that simply is not true. Heres just of few of the many, many, many......etc XDA threads, links and posts provided in the links below. "Accessories". THAT'S DEFINITELY HARDWARE.

Criticism for lack of searching before you post? Right? Works both ways does it not., Its the Google search that brought you here "**Questions and Answers*Palm pvg100 ".

Your welcome [MENTION=10300855]DEXXO[/MENTION] :), the only reason I came to this thread was to help provide assistance to a member of Android Forums. I didn't like the way your were treated and felt, I had to say something in your defense. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I see that there still is not a rooting method for this device and no custom recovery or custom ROMs.

You may not have liked the things I posted about checking to see which devices have root and custom ROMs available before you buy them, but, everything I said was the absolute truth. If you had checked XDA before buying a device, I'm certain that you would have found a device that you liked that also has root methods and custom ROMs available and you would currently be enjoying a device that is rooted with a custom ROM that you like.

Many people that want a rooted/customized device make the same mistake you did, they buy a device without checking to see if root and custom ROMs exist for the device they bought, then they come here looking for support and they don't find anything because nothing is here for the device that they bought. Most of them never see support for their device and they have to give up on their current device and get another device that IS supported by root methods and custom ROMs.

If you want/like having a device that is rooted and/or has custom ROMs available, you may want to consider my words more closely the next time you buy a device. Don't just buy a device because you like it and then "assume" that the device will have root and custom ROM support, you will more than likely be disappointed.

You are going with the idea of how you would like it be and I'm trying to give you a reality check in order for you to see how it really is instead of how you would like it to be.

Droidriven what you not have understand this Device Palm PVG-100 is unic in this Size and Specs. You not will find a Device in such a

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What you don't understand is it doesn't matter what the specs are or how "cool" the device is. That has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a device gets custom support.

Hi everyone. This post is more of a "hardware" question. Some of us out there have got ourselves some PVG100s without SIM trays, and one guy is thinking about making a 3D model that we can print. Could someone help out with pics of the SIM tray to this Reddit thread? Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] snoopy20:
You'd have to laser scan it probably, even then you'd be lucky to print something that won't snap inside (I have a 3d printer so I know enough).

The company that's selling them cheap on ebay is retaining the sim trays, I don't know why. The originals are CNC'd.

[UPDATE]

Here's new info in regards to TWRP & EdXposed​

I was a bit reluctant to install TWRP because ATT it required wiping my tablet. There now a way to install TWRP via Magisk thanks to [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION], as noted here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80635589&postcount=70

I did not use this method because I was already in a position where I had to reflash original firmware, and redo everything anyway (long story, but just check my sig). I did however use the 7-step method described here, thanks again to [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80389831&postcount=2

My real purpose for this update is to share after installing TWRP with above method I was able to upgrade to latest Stable versions available at the time of this posting. (Current versions at end of post)

Magisk 20.3

Magisk Manager 7.5.1

Riru Core 19.7

Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta(4463) v0.4.6.1 (4510) (YAHFA)

EdXposed Manager 4.5.4

The only thing I have not updated to latest is EdXposed Manager (currently on v4.5.2), because clicking on 'UPDATE New version of EdXposed Manager is available! Update it!' from within EdXposed results in a github 404 error 'Page not found', which makes me wonder if this version was removed for some reason. IDK, haven't followed up on it.

For the curious, here's my confirmed-working (Ed)Xposed modules:

XprivacyLua

Scoop

AFWall+

Statusbar download progress (uninstalled, doesn't seem to be working now; don't care enough to figure out why)

3C All-in-One Toolbox

Greenify

EDIT: Updated to EdXposed Manager 4.5.4

EDIT: Updated to v0.4.6.1 (4510) (YAHFA)

EDIT: Updated to Magisk 20.4

EDIT: Updated to Riru Core 19.8
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bartleby999:
Have you managed to get EdExposed running on the Tab S6? I've installed Riru Core & EdExposed Magisk modules, also Exposed Installer APK from here but the apk keeps telling me xposed is NOT installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TiTiB:
Yes. Sandhook didn't work well (if at all iirc), but no problems with YAHFA variant.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (SM-T860) WiFi-only tablet

Android 9 OneUI

Magisk 19.3 Manager 7.4.0

EdXposed Manager 4.5.2

Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta (4463) (YAHFA)

Using these modules:

Scoop

MinMinGuard

Xposed Eedge

AFWall+

Greenify

Bootmanager

3C All-in-One Toolbox Pro

Statusbar download progress

CoolTool

..and, most importantly, XprivacyLua

XPL is my main reason for using EdXposed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bartleby999:
Yeah XprivacyLua was the main reason I wanted EdXposed too, but for some reason it doesn't work.

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong to be honest, it should be simple - Install Riru Core and EdXposed modules, restart, install app. It's a pretty simple procedure but just keeps telling me firmware isn't installed. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TiTiB:
idk, man...wish I could offer some, but I can't.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MadusDogusUK:
Confused...

I've rooted and used xposed on the Galaxy s2, s3 mini, note, note 4 and a Samsung tab (I forget what model) but this edXposed is a little different,

I can't seem to find any explanations or guides with instructions for what modules etc I need to install and how to enable them, an example - use adaway (the module not apk app) or a button remapper.

Could someone point me in the right direction please, I have tried looking but can't find it, thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] smartymcfly:
Adaway requires magiskSU, not edxposed. Also many button remappers only require magiskSU.

If you have Edxposed, you can use Xposed Edge, I believe allows some button mapping, but there are only power, vol+ and vol-. Xposed Edge enables gestures and to me it is more powerful than GMD gestures or any of the gestures that use an accessibility service. You can also just use Goodlock and Onehand+ from Samsung store and it will give you a very good gestures system that doesn't require Edxposed or magiskSU or an accessibility service to use.

There are also adblockers that do not require root now. Adaway v5 was just released in a alpha or beta stage and it has the option to work without root. It isn't as extensive as Adgaurd, but it is free to use all of the protections it has.

What is it you actually want to do? You gave examples but not what you want for yourself. In Edxposed every module you install is an apk so they are apps just the same as adaway. Magisk has actual modules that are not apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MadusDogusUK:
Thanks for the reply.

I have root, i want to try out different modules with edxposed with little to no risk of bricking my device.

Some examples of what I'd like to try if the modules exist -

Better gps (was an old module bavk on the galaxy s2 (phone) or note 1,

Automatic call recorder build in not an app from the playstore,

Luckypatcher,

Playstore fix to allow changing what device the playstore believes im using.

Im completely new to Magisk and a little (negligible) experienced with xposed edxposed predecessor.

Also methods to hide root and removing the warning screen when booting plus safetynet (which i dont understand) interest me but I'm a little scared to play or alter anything core system related as im too in love with my tablet lol

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

I dont want to install an incompatible Magisk module or framework or version.

I dont understand 'rui core' and other variants, by that i mean i dont know which i should install and which i should stay clear of.
