[General Questions and Answers] Cooper A:
I'm thinking of a DIY project but before investing money I would like to know that it is possible from the software side.

I have a Xiaomi Mi8 phone which has a quiet good main-board design. I can use this to make the phone smaller and put it on my wrist.

The final size would be around 55x75mm or a little bigger than the main board.

The first and hardest problem is to find an amoled display in this size. Unfortunately VR display doesn't have touch sensitivity.

If I find the right hardware and can connect it to the mainboard, will the software work? E.g. with an 3,5" 480x800 resolution display.

What changes should be made: only kernel or some HW specific software has to be modified?

My final goal to build a sport watch with full android OS to use offline maps and good GPS tracking with a high-end processor (only top categories have good GPS).

Therefore I will remove some parts: all cameras, speakers and microphones, vibration motor and anything which is not needed for GPS tracking. Bluetooth and Wifi stays but battery will be replaced to a smaller one.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It wouldn't work as-is. You would have to build a new kernel that supports the hardware on your mainboard and also supports the new touchscreen.

The kernel is where the "drivers" for your hardware are installed and just like when adding new hardware to your PC, it requires new drivers to be installed in order to use the new hardware.

How to root redmi5 global? Miui 11 updated thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dasemu:
With magisk, loke in miui10

Download MiUnlock, unlock bootloader and download XioMiTool v2 from internet and follow the instructions and the program will do everything

If you want to do it yourself you just unlock bootloader with mi blocker and download 1.Minimal ADB and Fastboot

2. Twrp.img for ROSY. (Redmi 5) be sure you download the redmi 5 img

Plugin your phone in pc and go in your pc to C:/program files (x86)/minimal ADB and Fastboot and move (or copy) the twrp img in that folder and open command (press windows key and type CMD) in the black screen (if you have never stay in cmd don't scare, is the old way to use the computers, and the actual way in linux ;))

Type cd C:/program files (x86)/minimal ADB and Fastboot and then pick your phone.

Hold the volume down and power button at same time for 4-6 seconds.

You will see something like FASTBOOT, and a rabbit with an android.

Plug in the phone in pc and in the PC type

Fastboot flash recovery twrp-rosy-3.3.0-0.img (or how is your twrp.img called) and wait 30 seconds

The terminal will tell u something and when it put '' finished " close your terminal and in your phone hold volume up button and power button at same time.

The phone will restart and show you something about TWRP, you are finishing ;)

Reboot System (there is a button for that in twrp) and in android install Magisk manager.apk from internet.

You will see 2 install buttons, press the first and press install

It will download a 5.8 Mb zip press in the notification and open with "copy to..." and copy to SD.

Reboot in twrp (hold up and power again) and tap in install zip, select magisk zip and magisk su binary will be instaled in your phone.

When finished reboot system and open magisk manager and you will see that magisk is installed. Now u have root

If you want to use supersu do the same but instead of flash magisk zip, flash supe su zip. I recommend magisk. As you can see eZ ;)

Happy mod dude!!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lmacmil:
I just read that the original Pixel and Pixel XL will be getting no more monthly security updates. Will this send you shopping for a new(er) phone? When I had Motorola phones, they were almost never up-to-date with security updates. I guess going a few months without an update isn't the end of the world. Once it's more than 6 months past due, I'll probably start shopping for something more recent. I do love this phone though.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lpen2146:
Looks like one last update in December that will include Nov and Dec security patches. Probably do the same as you and replace or maybe flash a custom ROM not sure. Pixel 3a XL looks tempting.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lafester:
I just got a 3xl and it is pretty nice. I suppose the 3a would also be a good option.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lpen2146:
I noticed you can get open box or refurbished 3xl for $350-380 range and roughly same for 3axl. So not sure which one I would get. I replaced battery on my XL about 8 months ago an phone is still a strong performer so can't justify getting rid of just yet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lafester:
I know... It is still a great phone. I passed it along so it will stay in the family for awhile yet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] -Maverick-:
I'll hold off upgrading and use stock custom roms for the security patches, then hopefully the Pixel 4a/XL is a reality this coming May. If not, I'll just wait it out for the Pixel 5/XL.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
I will definitely wait till the Pixel 4a release, see, and come to a decision. If they bring UFS back then I will purchase it. I see no point in upgrading to a Pixel 3, let alone a 3a. With a phone in OG Pixel's calibre, one should be able to skip three generations at least. What a pity, Google stopped the support, for a perfectly capable phone.

I never bothered with them security patches anyway, only flashed every three months or so. So running an outdated device in terms of security for six months is really nothing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flash713:
+1! Same. :D

But I always use custom roms anyway. I hope a 4axl drops that's around 3-$400.

Everyone always makes a HUGE deal out of security patches. I don't think its such a big deal. Wasn't long ago that Google made some kinda statement saying nobody could hack their security patch and if so then they'd pay whoever did it 5k. Some kid did it a few days after google made the statement. I mean sure it makes us a tad more vulnerable but who hasn't gotten email or social media compromised before? I think we are good. ?

(Edit)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hudhacks:
+1 Really have no reason to get a new phone, Pixel XL just works. This is the first phone I've not needed to use a custom Rom since getting the OG Droid way back when. Pixel 4 w/o finger print does not thrill me.

So, any Rom recommendations [emoji6]

I know this is off topic, but there isn't a lot of traffic here anymore and most of the og pixel XL users here are probably in this discussion.... Do you guys have issues with your autorotation and auto brightness on the pixel XL?

I love the pixel XL I bought except for these 2 issues. It can't figure out the screen brightness or the autorotation. Stock room, not rooted. I went back to the OnePlus 5 for dual Sims and the second OnePlus 5 I got was just like the first one I killed in saltwater. Perfect Auto rotate and auto brightness. The pixel has slightly better camera, smoothness and was better about updates (OnePlus 5 is still on pie until spring of 2020). But overall I like the OnePlus better (for a few reasons but the biggest is the auto rotate and auto brightness or only semi functional on my pixel XL. Maybe it's just my unit?

I have an odd question. Has anyone else ran into this problem. I was trying to run FoxBet app and FanDuel Sportsbook apps. They have to check you location to make sure you are in a state with legal sports betting. We'll both of them come back stating that they can not find my location.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NerdFire:
Every so often customers will return Fire tablets that are under warranty because they've stopped working. It could be a battery problem, or it could be an error taking an update that left the tablet unable to boot. When that happens, one would presume that Amazon would try to recoup their investment by cosmetically spiffing up the tablet and wiping and reloading Fire OS to make it ready for resale.

Whether or not that's the case, when a tablet comes off the assembly line there has to be some way Amazon loads the OS before they box it up for sale. My question is, in each case, how do they do it?

At the factory, I suspect the OS might be loaded into memory before final assembly of the motherboard onto the tablet body. In fact it might even happen before the memory is soldered onto the board. When refurbishing though, it seems like any feasible way to reload the tablet's OS would have to go through a USB cable -- which wouldn't be the case when you're prepping hundreds of thousands of tablets a month or more for sale.

That's assuming unbricking is possible, of course. They might just collect all those dead tablets and convert them into hide-a-beds for Amazon's warehouse workers for all I know.

It just seems like there ought to be a way to revive a hard bricked, as in incomplete write to the boot loader, tablet. And in case there's any doubt, yes, that's exactly what I've done with one of mine. I suspect that I'm going to have to play Baron von Frankenstein and transplant the working motherboard from a Fire HD 8 with a cracked screen into the body of a Fire with an intact screen, but that went south during a boot ROM update and is now an attractive paperweight. But my experience has me curious whether Amazon can reverse such disasters, and if so, how they do it. Whether such methods are available to us mere mortals is of course a different matter entirely.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
Which generation of HD8 is it? Can it not be unbricked using the bootrom method, shorting the appropriate connection on the motherboard?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NerdFire:
Maybe. It's a Fire HD 8 2017 (karnak) and I've successfully rooted one or two of these tablets after opening them up, so I can give that a go. As long as I don't have to be able to power up the tablet, everything should be fine.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semada:
The 2018 model is Karnak, not 2017.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NerdFire:
You are of course correct. These tablets are karnak/2018 models.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NerdFire:
Thank you for the reminder [MENTION=7839832]MontysEvilTwin[/MENTION] -- I was able to unbrick the tablet and get it back to working. It didn't repair the cracked screen though. :D

I really am still interested in the process Amazon uses to load tablets at scale. I'm sure it's nothing that's available to us mere mortals; I'm just curious in a "how stuff works" sort of way.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
I'm curious if it's possible to disassemble the fingerprint scanner/power button without destroying it in the process; specifically separating the metal "rim" surrounding/covering the scanner plate from the rest of the assembly without damaging it.

It's pretty much impossible to figure it out purely from pictures, and it'd be a waste all 'round to buy a shiny new one just to break it.

Sooooo anyone?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Do you need another one? Or you just want to experiment with something?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kenbo111:
There's many disassembly videos on YouTube. The answer may be there.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
Aesthetics experiment. The phone I ordered has broken back glass; I figured since I was replacing it anyway, I'd replace some other stuff too and do a two-tone sort of thing.

The camera glass is easy to separate from its trim and get a replacement for, as is the SIM tray...volume buttons are pretty much impossible to get in certain colors though. The fingerprint scanner is the only thing left.

I imagine that most, if not all, focus on replacing it as a module rather than disassembling it...but eh, I'll check.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
I wouldn't normally look a gift horse squarely in the mouth, but I'm more than slightly curious as to why you have a handful of them :v

Having eyeballed some pictures and watched the rather destructive testing done by Zack/JerryRigEverything in slow motion, I've reached the conclusion that the reader plate is fused to the rim. The entire thing is probably a tub-shaped stamped plate that the scanner is glued into. The thing I want to do is probably not doable in the fashion I wanted to do it. Fortunately I have a plan B.

I wouldn't mind having a couple of spares, since I'm going to have the phone for quite some time (assuming I can get a seller to ship me one that's as-described...). I'll shoot you a PM in a minute.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] herb9876:
I think over the last 2 years I've purchased 6 lg v30s. Most of them slightly flawed off eBay for parts and stuff so I have ziplock bags separating phones and their parts. I saw this thread and checked my bag of lg v30 parts I'll no longer be using and I think I have 4 fingerprint sensors fully intact in there. I'm in a giving mood I guess I'll check my messages thanks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] immns:
it's pretty easy to disassemble FP/power button without damage. I'm using hot air to loosen the adhesive then pry it with metal/plastic pry tool. The problem is, after removing, the adhesive that held them with back glass will completely unusable so I had to clean that adhesive and replace it with some black B7000 glue. In other hand, the back glass itself only cost around $16 completely with fingerprint/power button and ready to install.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
Sent you a pm
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
Ah, fair enough. Did you find that you needed to replace stuff on your handset very often?

I knew that the power button could be separated, they're available for sale (though somewhat less commonly than button+scanner sets). This separation is what I'm after:

It looks like the scanner plate is a separate piece, but I'm going to guess it's permanently glued down with epoxy or something. My phone arrives tomorrow, so I can poke at it a bit and see if it moves at all.

I have a feeling that even if the plate can be pulled up, it won't be removable due to the ribbon connection. So all this will be for naught anyway :silly:

Thanks for mentioning B7000. I wasn't sure what kind of adhesive would be appropriate for restoring some water resistance, and to be honest I don't have much faith in the pre-fitted double-sided tape included with new backs; B7000 sounds like the kind of stuff I'll want.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] herb9876:
