Why won't Oneplus sell their 5G phones as sim free? The only phone I'd probably buy at the moment is the 7T Pro 5G Mclaren but it's only available in the US and carrier locked to T-Mobile. If they sold it like they do all their other phones, I'm sure they would have made a killing.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Guides, News...] jhofseth:
Maybe T-Mobile would give you a stock MSM image? :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Klingan:
I think the volume is to low during calls. Is there any way to fix that?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] wpsantennas:
In the past I've looked for solutions to this type of problem and have never found anything other than using a headset.

Is it possible that your phone is defective? The reason I ask is that my hearing is poor and I generally have the problem you are describing with pretty much any phone (so generally, I pretty much have to use a headset.) On my Touch Dual this has not been the case and I've yet to use a headset. I do notice that when I call somebody the volume of the ringing sound I hear in the earpiece is low but when the person connects volume is fine . . .
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Klingan:
I Don't think its defective. The volume is god mostly but when I'm outdoors or on a bus or other noisy places its difficault to hear the person I speak with.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] wpsantennas:
Well then you've got me. I understand the background noise as I drive an old noisy Explorer but I don't seem to have the problem with this phone - with the Treo 750 I really had it. Sorry :(
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Project Treble gives a nice opportunity to run generalized system image on newer android devices compatible with this technology.

Of course, our Realme X2 should run it too.

Here is super quick howto, rather a concept :) You do not need root or Magisk or selinux=permissive for this. But having them is not a problem too.

Beware you will lose all your data, so make a backup in advance.

1 Simplified procedure, by using fastboot mode only​

Unlock bootloader of your device

Download the GSI from, say, here, extract it.

Modify vbmeta from a computer with a command fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (vbmeta.img is attached)

Format userdata partition with fastboot format userdata command

Flash system.img from the second step with a command fastboot flash system extracted-file-name.img

Issue command fastboot reboot

2 Full procedure, with vendor modification​

Follow the next procedure only if your GSI has issues with encryption of userdata.

Unlock bootloader of your device

Download the GSI from, say, here, select ARM64+GMS, unzip it.

Modify vbmeta from a computer with a command fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (vbmeta.img is attached)

Flash TWRP or another custom recovery and boot it

Mount vendor partition in RW mode (simply do not tick 'Mount system partition read-only')

(this is not needed for some GSIs) Replace /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom file with the attached by the command adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/

Flash system.img from the previous step with a help of TWRP to system partition of your phone.

Format Data (I use rm -rf instead of formatting in settings)

Now reboot and enjoy.

Note. The files are for RMX1991. I know for sure that vbmeta.img is identical for RMX1993 too, but I do not know about fstab.qcom yet. So 1993 owners, check this first. The only change inside is deletion of encryption option for userdata.

EDIT. fstab.qcom is identical for CN and EU versions, this is verified.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Here we can keep the list of images which are working fine with the device.

GSI from Google, Android 10: here (choose ARM64+GMS)

AOSP 10.0 v204 by phhusson: here. Choose arm64-ab- one, either vanilla or with gapps.

LineageOS 17.0 by AndyYan: here. Choose treble_arm64_bvN one

Pixel Experience 10.0 (thanks [MENTION=4831205]vocoderism[/MENTION] for the link): here

AOSP 10.0 v215 (3 pc.) - take -ab- ones, there are floss, gapps, vanilla. These are with 2020-04-05 security patch level, but FP does not work :(

you find any way for double tap to wakeup?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coo1one:
Many thanks for the guide. I can confirm that I am able to flash PE GSI, either TWRP or fastboot way.

(You may not need `fstab.qcom` if you flash PE GSI, I skipped this step)

However, The phone was stuck on Google loading screen, I waited for a such long time, probably 30mins. Then I had to reboot a few times, maybe 4 times. Eventually, I was able to see the initial setup page.

After seeing the initial page, I flashed PE GSI again, this time I didn't even to wait for a long time, about 2 mins to see the initial page. I think everything works! Haven't tried NFC yet.

However, I can't see fingerprint option in PE GSI options/settings, I can't confirm whether fingerprint works. After unlocking bl, I was still able to use fingerprint with ColorOS 6.1, so I assume fingerprint may still work.

Always-On-Display can't be found in Settings, so guess need to find a patch etc.

Please be more specific with the the instruction.

On the replace vendor part and onward its hard to understand the instruction. Can you please elaborate?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] woocashewski:
Edit. After many bootloops it works!

Unfortunately fp scanner, light sensor, and face unlock didnt work, do I must reconsider to back to colorOS ...

Do you know any fix for any od them? There is a fix for goodix fp for xiaomi - is it possible to port it for X2?

I've tried a fix by renaming fingerprint.goodix.default.so to fingerprint.qcom.so , but after reboot files are restored to its original names, and FP didn't work...

Hi [MENTION=2668994]woocashewski[/MENTION] , I'm trying to flash the said LOS via TWRP but can't proceed to boot. I have this error message saying 'current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot.' Can I ask how did you manage to flash the said rom?

EDIT I was able to boot it now. I'm doing the steps wrong with TWRP.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hammerheading:
Hello i would like to know how do you manage to flash it. i've tried LOS, PE, Crdroid and can't succesfully boot any of them, i always get bootloops.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ppr01:
I did get bootloops but was able to properly boot the LOS Rom. My device is X2 EU (1993EX)

Must be in ColorOS first

Download TWRP

Download Platforms-Tools, this is where you put the TWRP and vbmeta files and push them to your device.

Put LOS rom zip in sd card/internal storage, go to twrp and

Wipe cache, system, & data

Flash ROM and Gapps

Try 1st boot

Reboot and flash magisk if you need to

Was able to boot fine, I have tried other OS GSIs but wasn't able to boot properly though. ROM is fine and I tested a few hours but went back to stock ColorOS. LOS didn't offer much of the customization I needed.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hammerheading:
Thanks a lot for the reply. I just don´t know what to do with the vbmeta file. Do i flash it? I think that's why i can't boot any GSI

edit: SUCCESS! i was not flashing the vbmeta. I'm gonna give it a try
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Well, folks, the instruction in the first post is split on two.

First one is really simple one, where only fastboot mode is used to bring a GSI to your device. It is enough for majority of GSIs, I think.

Second instructon is for just some (if any? I am not sure now...) GSIs where vendor modification needed.

Enjoy!

any idea other/extract tool ???
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Well, after long time of zero activity for our realme X2, while sitting on stock Chinese F.26 ROM (Android 11), I tried GSI images. And it works nicely! So far I see only FP and auto brightness not working.

vbmeta.img is attached, I used both --disable-verity --disable-verification for flashing it.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beeduq:
So, now the GSI is up to Android 13, do I need t o choose Android 10, or is it free to choose any?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
You can try any no matter what ROM is currently installed on your phone.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beeduq:
Welp, it send me back to fastboot mode. I haven't got any luck with custom roms, so I was hoping to get one with GSI. Here in Greenland, we use a security system to enable banking and other sensitive stuff, but I keep getting "Your device is rooted/jailbroken. Remove root/jailbreak in order to use the app", even on stock chinese rom, got the same. I've tried installing Magisk from TWRP and from apps, tried to "hide" Magisk and fully uninstall it, but with no luck.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Welcome on board :)

It is not clear if you succeeded with GSI installation.

Your banking app is another story and is not related to GSI installation: as soon as you unlock bootloader many apps will start counting you phone as not sane.

Finally, Magisk installation and its hiding is yet another story.

So you should grasp knowledge in these three different areas.

Having custom ROM and fully working banking apps is possible indeed.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beeduq:
So, the stock, super stock from factory contains Magisk... Is the root baked in to the device itself? Have you ever saw one without root, clean rom? Oh yeah, I also saw one of stock recovery, there's a writing, that said the device is rooted, even without files or anything inside the device, not even OS was installed... So the root is baked into kernel, I suspect.

A couple of apps don't display correctly, namely ebay and Gmail (see screenshot), it's this a dpi issue or some other problem? Anyone know of a fix... Some descriptions on ebay are garbled and so are some emails...

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Also, sorry dude, you're the only one that's answered... Are you rooted? If so can you download buildprop editor from the playstore... I can't find any setting for dpi, the only thing I can find is shown in the screenshot... Can you have a look and see if yours is the same...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor

I see no setting under build info for ro.sf.lcd_density, so you have that showing your dpi?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] lrcquest:
You can reset the dpi by using the slider in display settings.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Thanks but I've tried that already, it's set to default again after trying but still the same :(
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] apollo3x:
try manually changing it to some thing else. 411 was default for me too. i changed it to 432 and everything is okay so far for me
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Thanks but it still has the same issue.. Might try a re flash tonight and clean install...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] lrcquest:
485 is the default smallest width. This is system default when you put the slider @ lowest level.

everything seems to be okay but I would like to use face recognition and/or fingerprint scanner. I have tried removing Samsung pass (by renaming the apk etc and have also tried using Titanium to Freeze it) but when I reboot the phone just gets to the gui then restarts.

Does anyone know if I can use Magisk to hide root somehow or what fingerprint/face scanner apps I can use instead?

Important features included:

large screen (5" or above)

long battery life

instant on

wifi, gps

weight about 1 lb

It should have more than one in this market segment.

Thanks!

Where have you been? Look at it's successor HTC Advantage X7510: http://www.digitalburn.com/index.php/2008/05/21/review-of-htcs-x7510-advantage/

...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Good question. I'm looking for it too. I was hoping that 7510 was going to be it, but no. It was a step backward instead of forward, from my perspective and based on the way I'm going to use it.

I would add FM radio, support High Capacity external memory cards, 5MB camera, fluid video recorder, television, more rounded and thinner than 7500/7510.

I would like it to maintain the existing aspect ratio and not move toward 480x800 for the sake of software compatibility. No thanks, I don't want a 2.8" screen.

As you can see, there is none in the market that meets my dream list. So I guess I'd be using my Athena for a long long time to come still.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kramerica2:
question: All the things you've mentioned are included in the Athena, so why are you looking for something else????
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cktlcmd:
Or if you don't mind a small screen and the absence of a keyboard, check out the Samsung Omnia: http://samsungomnia.com/

To be honest, if this had a better screen size, I would not consider saving up for the X7510, but nothing beats the screen of the Athena and Advantage as of now.

...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Indeed. You'd really appreciate Athena's (big) size when you're using e-reader program, pdf file viewer, SoftMakers (when in 92dpi especially), and internet browsing. You can see those otherwise too tiny fonts.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cktlcmd:
I am dying in waiting here... for the X7510. On The Go Solutions will have it in stock by tomorrow. I keep holding back because I am waiting for the price of the X7500 (brand new) to drop to at least $900. If I can't control myself, I'll be buying the X7510 by next week. But before I order, I still want to know that they have it in stock, because the release date keeps moving back. :(

I even purchased ahead of time the following: Brando Workshop's Ultra clear screen protector, LG HBM 700 BT Communicator, heck... I even ordered a customized belt holster from Nutshell in Horizontal Style that houses both the case and the X7510 with keyboard. I had to make sure I didn't messed up on the size specifications I provided, so I waited for some reviews to confirm it. I guess we'll know in a few days.

...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] PBL1:
For my the Athena is the best device today even compared with with the newer devices about to be released, HTC had the chance to get out a much better device with the 7510 but they didn't deliver.

In my opinion the only better thing is they doubled the amount of memory to 16gb and that is solid state rather than a hard disk, so what (8GB micro SDs cost peanuts this days and 16gb will soon be out there) but not joypad or buttons.

I want my next device with a proper graphics chip and the most sensitive gps chip out there and a camera that actually deliver even in poor light conditions

I want the OS and applications as good as those made by Apple or better and for gods sake Athena it is a VGA device, I want VGA working out of the box.

a little more ram will hep too ( for speed) and the phone function should work flawless at all times.

transflective LCD screen any one?

those are the issues that if solved will make a difference to my, and yea they can be solved the proof is this forum and excelent roms and apps.

Is anybody from HTC reading this?

said this I still convinced than Athena+XDA develoers hard work is the best device out there even after a year.

right, I feel much better now:p

oh yea good try with the new keyboard but not good enough.

Three months later and the answer to this thread is still the same - the 7500 or 7501 are still the best on the market. 7510 gives up too much, and nothing else on the market has the screen size, battery life, instant on, wifi, bt, etc.
