[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] frcraig:
This method worked fine to activate RCS chat using Android messages on my Note 10 + and my wife's Huawei mate 20 x so we can now use the chat feature when messaging each other. I would prefer, however to use Samsung messages as that would permit me to send and receive text messages on my linked Galaxy Tab S5e. Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow me to activate RCS chat with the Samsung messages app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] kuduku:
Samsung msg app already has RCS enabled , but both participants need to be logged in Samsung account

Samsung advanced msg is RCS only
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] frcraig:
The problem with Samsung messages, however, is that I get the "registration failed" pop up when I try to toggle on the chat feature. Using the work around I can get Android messages to active but the Activity Launcher work around doesn't work for Samsung messages. My carrier says it doesn't support RCS, but as I say I can get Android messages to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
You'd have to wait for Samsung to implement it natively on their app. Hopefully Oneui.2.0?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] cobyman7035:
does this work for the note10+ in toronto,canada or its only for usa? thx

nm: i followed the OP and i think i got it working, it autosent me some verification code but i didn't do anything with it... i have edge lighting ON but it doesn't seem to trigger it....does anyone else have the same issues with RCS and NO edge lightning?

i switched back to chompSMS and my edge lighting works on sms...so its gotta be google messages app thats not letting it work

i like chompSMS better as it allows u to custom do ringtones per contact, i don't think google messages allow that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] CodeNameRedNeck:
I know this is am old thread and I thought I would post my results anyways. I have the SM-N975U1 on AT&T. Using the Google messages beta app (updated 3/23/2020) and the carrier services app (not even sure this is needed) I now have RCS functions. I did not use the activity launcher app Messages kept hanging and I had to force stop it or clear it from the recent app list more than several times and now it functions as you would expect. I would really like to use Samsung's stock app however the file size is limited too low for what I like to use it for. Like I said I just wanted to share my experience.

Hi folks

swapped my china phone china rom to china phone global rom, as noticed by the seller when buied "you can flash when global rom ....."

so

files needed

actual china rom 10.4.11 on my phone, downloaded for secure process in case of...

begonia_images_V10.4.11.0.PGGCNXM_20191011.0000.00_9.0_cn_c1a159f747

actual global rom to download 10.4.1

begonia_global_images_V10.4.1.0.PGGMIXM_20190920.0000.00_9.0_global_4d1cf1401a

as you see global is older than china...so i asked myself if its a rollback protection nightmare

i followed the guide

https://miui.blog/any-devices/check-anti-rollback-protection/

my phone returned "1"

verified in the global rom presence of a rollback protection file, yes, under image directory there is one containing "1" so no rollback

catastrophe

important :

MUST BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!!

MUST BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!!

MUST BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!!

MUST BE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!!

so i followed guideline and starting to flash

important :

MUST BE CHECKED "CLEAR ALL"

MUST BE CHECKED "CLEAR ALL"

MUST BE CHECKED "CLEAR ALL"

MUST BE CHECKED "CLEAR ALL"

or you will have a nightmare if "clear and lock" if not paying attention

the first flash was "error" for global, so i disconnected the phone, changing cable (i have an oem charging round magnetic)

and taking original usb xiaomi, flashing chinese for secure, and it flash and rebooted, dont turn off if error occurs you are on fastboot

so stays on it, clic refresh and the phone appears, select global rom directory, and flash

wait 4 minutes and voila success, and reboot itself

hope those infos helps

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kimusan:
Hi,

My mobile gets locked after 20minutes of user-inactivity due to corporate security restrictions. This can unfortunately not be turned on.

This is extremely annoying when I use my phone as navigation system (tomtom) as I have to press the screen or a key every 20 minutes or less in order for the phone not to go to the lock screen.

Does anyone know how I can simulate some user interaction? It should preferably be an action that does not actually activate anything (e.g. it does not actually do a screen or button press) as this could interfere with the software running (in my case TomTom).

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JR_de:
You can disable the lock.

First you need to enable the box under "Settings -> Personal -> Lock" again to be able to untick it.

This can be done in the registry:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023

0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled

Then install Zenyee.com Stay Unlock.cab and soft reset your device.

This program will prevent the lock to be activated again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kimusan:
thanks I will try that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HuiBuh_1:
Hi kimusan,

I have a mortscript running in the background (Whenever I start my Navigation, because my screen will switch off after 2 minutes). The mort-script sleeps 60 seconds and after that it resets the timer. Then sleeps again and so on.

I start the the script directly with my navigation program and stop it after the window of the navigation does no longer exists...

If you need the script-file I will send it to you...

For my PPC it works really well.

Hope this will help.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rootnooby:
Anyone tried replacing battery? This tablet is still used daily by me using lineage rom. Works great but battery has seen better days. Haven't found a DIY video on replacement for this model.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Difficult endeavor with a highly probably of cracking panel due to copious use of industrial glue. Bigger challenge is finding a viable battery as replacements have not been manufactured for years. Anything tagged as 'new' likely has been on the shelf for 5+ years or recovered from another device. Li-Ion batteries have a shelf life; deterioration begins almost immediately. Google for details - Battery University is a good site.

tl;dr - don't bother unless the device has little to no value in its current state.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rootnooby:
Good insight. Thank you for the feedback. I'll have to think about finding a replacement for this tablet soon. I would prefer one that has reasonable easy root capability and custom ROM support. Any suggestions?

I would definitely prefer a faster tablet experience and better sound.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Given the criteria you're probably into a niche device costing hundreds of USD. No immediate suggestions as I use other gizmos for more demanding tasks. You might find satisfaction with the latest HD 10; definitely a step back from a HDX but is seeing active development which may yield enough benefit to justify a switch. Alternatively, consider a permanent tether with a long, flexible USB cable and, perhaps, a decent sized external battery.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] madmaxmedia:
Just an FYI to an old thread- the HDX 8.9 is not that difficult to take apart as the screen assembly is not glued onto the casing. You need to remove the black shiny strip (which is glued) to uncover some screws that hold the screen assembly in place. This page has details and a link to a Youtube disassembly video:

SOLVED: need battery replacement for my kindle fire hdx 8.9 - Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"

Hi, Here is a link which shows how to open your Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. Once it is open ( at about 2:33 minutes into the video), you should not have to remove any flex cables, except the battery cable (which is shown being removed at 3:05 minutes into the video) to remove the battery. The video...

The battery however is glued down and apparently hard to remove, but it appears that with patience though it is doable. Once you can remove the battery the rest should be pretty simple.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] PeterCxy:
Introduction

This is the LineageOS 17.0 (non-GSI) port for K-touch i9 a.k.a Anica i9. Due to the lack of kernel source code, this port comes with a prebuilt kernel image, but the ramdisk has been updated to support a proper System-as-Root system partition as is required by Android 10.

This is ONLY compatible with the MT6739 variant of this phone.

About the phone

The K-touch i9 is an ultra-mini phone produced by K-touch (Ktouch / Anica) based on the MT6739 SoC. I got the phone purely due to its interesting size (similar to the Palm phone) and the desire to port real custom ROMs to it to see if they can work well. I mainly use it as a backup phone, so this port might not be thoroughly tested enough for daily drive.

Known Issues

- Some particular animation / gifs will skip frames or repeat incorrectly

Images

Flashing instructions

1. Unlock the phone (reboot to bootloader by holding volume up on boot, run `fastboot flashing unlock` and confirm)

2. Flash TWRP image from here

3. Reboot to recovery (hold volume up and choose Recovery accordingly)

4. Backup all stock partitions whatever way you like (especially boot / vendor)

5. Flash this LOS 17 port image and format data

6. Reboot and enjoy

Please note that after flashing this LOS 17 image, you have to restore the stock boot.img before being able to install A-only Android 10 GSIs again. Although you MIGHT be able to boot phh A/B GSI 10 on the boot.img of this LOS 17 port, please note that this is not tested and you still need to shrink the image size before phh GSIs can work -- the same as the A-only situation.

Why not GSI

There is no reason why not to use a phh GSI on this phone, given that phh GSIs work pretty well and I have actually fixed a few bugs for it too and I absolutely love it. However we can't play with some certain things, for example, transitioning to System-as-Root, in a GSI, and that's why I started this port just for fun. Also this device has such a small system partition that GSIs won't work out-of-the-box and require some manual adjustments just for the device, which kind of defeats the purpose. Nevertheless, I will contribute my fixes to GSIs so that things will work as well on GSIs as on my device-specific ROM ports.

twrp link does not work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] PeterCxy:
It works here. It links to a GitHub release page where you can download recovery.img for TWRP
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Talpho:
Hi,

I bought this phone, but with different CPU- MT6580, 5MP camera at the back, would this ROM be compatible with it well?

I've tried to flash the TWRP recovery, but it failed - "FAILED (remote: size too large)" so it mean the recovery image not compatible with my phone?

This device is really nice, but huge let down by the operation sys. The battery drain really fast, always "phone idle" take place at the top of battery consuming chart.

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theleftykid:
hi, i have tried to flash the twp from your github site. i get an error that flashing was FAILED, file is too large. my unit is Ktouch/anica i9s with October 2019 update.

is there any chance you can upload the original recovery.img as well pls.. thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rortiz2:
Based on the previous comment before you, you seem to have the MT6580 version of the phone. This means you have a different and smaller gpt than the one from the OP that uses MT6739. You can't flash this ROM or any recovery from the MT6739 since they have different hardware and different partition layout. If you flash something, it will end with a nice brick;)

Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Talpho:
Well, I’m sending myne back to get the mt3739 so I could mount 128gb sd card and to try this buil. It look promissing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] PeterCxy:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] free30:
Thank you for this ROM.

I used it on my K-touch i10. Its the same as the i9 but the shape is slightly different.

I have the 3gb - 64gb version and it seems OK.

I had to use BiTGApps-Q for Playstore to appear.

I also had to go into the USB developer options to set up file transfer from a PC.

And no wallpaper app from holding on home screen.

I hope you keep this up to date else I might have to try and work out how to apply security patches.

Thanks again

EDIT. Oh so are you saying I could just try and install the GSI?

Edit. OK so Wellbeing and problems with Gapps is to do with Android 10 and gapps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] free30:
I also found twrp hard to control. The swipe action and pressing near the edge was difficult.

I don't have face recognition to unlock, not sure if that's because lineage os doesn't have it or the i9 doesn't, but certainly possible on my i10.

The swipe action in lineage is also difficult.

Thanks again. Just want to let you know.

Edit. Also a problem for me is when it's charging, touch screen gives the odd ghost press when used.

Ive found forcedoze useful with this phone.

Works with K-Touch M16?

Theoretically speaking this Rom should work in the K-Touch M16 as it has the exact same specs, processors, etc. Being the only difference is that it has a fingerprint sensor.

So I was wondering does anyone know if this custom ROM and TWRP works on the K-Touch M16.?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] free30:

I guess you should start looking at TWRP. If you have the same processor you should be able to get TWRP going.

chinese bootloader

hi, i just got the phone so i wanted to flash this rom. but my bootloader is in chinese and i don't speak/read chinese.

can anyone here please help me get trough the bootloader so i do all the steps correctly.

i attached the picture from bootloader and also what google translate offers for translation.

does volume up and down works correctly on your devices? on my it just jumps one step down and up on ether up key or down key when i press and hold the key ti gradually turns volume up on ether up or down key.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] free30:
I have an i10 and am no expert.

When I reboot and hold up-volune I get 3 options. Recovery, Fastboot and Normal in that order.

Are you sure your phone is the mt3769. As I had an i10 which was was MT6580 and I got those options. I did have Fastboot though. Sorry don't still have it for reference.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KTMuser:
I just found out on youtube this menu should pop up when you press volume down + power on. But on my phone it also boots to this menu when i press volume up + power on. Guess i received defective volume buttons on my phone. Too bad as it is such a nice little phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] free30:
Are you able to use the volume keys to move up and down the menu you took a picture of? Moving in this menu and selecting should be the up and down volume keys. Guess then you could see for sure if you have a key problem.

I did manage to take my phone apart as when I dropped it I managed to disconnect the screen cable inside but was lucky to be able to fix it.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Hello I'd like to update this for myself. I thought I'd use the GSI image but you say it needs resizing before use. Can you give me any pointers as to how you do this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KTMuser:
i am unable to enter the correct bootloader that gives you three options you mentioned before. i already contacted the seller to see what we can do cause i just received the phone. on this chinese menu i can navigate only down (pressing volume up or down moves the selection down) and i can select the item via power button.

i10 roms?

Thanks so much! was pulling my hair out getting a newer TWRP to work.

I have another problem though: my MT6580 is the i10 not the i9, build h06_anica_i9_m8128_v0.8_20190902, kernel 3.18... Tried to install this lineage rom and I get error 255, obviously since this is not for the MT6580... I tried a few other older lineageOS roms and they installed but bootlooped... do you have a working Lineage OS for the Mt6580 variant that would run on the i10? I ask because the stock rom has Spyware/Adware/Trojans installed. I am about to install magisk to see if they can at least be removed to make the phone usable.. but would love a newer android or rom on the on the phone to be honest.

Thanks for this btw. thanks so much. :cowboy:

Unfortunately I’ve got the same result with the setup above (MT6580 – Anica i10s, build h06_anica_i9_m8128_v0.8_20190902, kernel 3.18): Installation of LineageOS ended with error 255.

If you have an idea how to fix this, pls. let us know, thank you!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] plumpkibbles:
I have the Anica i10 - I believe another variant of the i9, this one I bought was listed as an i9s in the specs - listed as i10. I don't have any biometrics either, i.e. finger print scanner. I have the 'face unlock'. I'm not sure of the MTK, but it has 8.1 Oreo, very badly hacked - with malware.. I've removed what I can but I'd rather just flash another ROM..

Anyone have any thoughts for my device? I wouldn't mind Pie if I could get it. And which ROM does this use?? A/B or A or B?

Also - without root how would I go about backing up all the partitions without twrp? If I flash twrp without knowing my version - that could be bad not having the stock recovery - no? My security patch is also WAY out of date - Jul. 5th 2017
