So, I was installing the latest CandyROM and everything appeared to go fine until I rebooted after the install from TWRP. Then I got the following message:

The current image [boot/recovery] have been destroyed and can not boot.

Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fit.

Oddly enough, I can boot back into TWRP without a problem. How do I recover from this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everybody,

The idea behind this thread is to share our experience with costum roms avialable for our device.

To keep it clean I suggest to put exact version of os we're on to avoid comments like "it works for me".

Hope that will help to clear current situation in dev stage.

My current costum-ish one is xiaomi.eu 11.0.3 Stable. As name suggest it's rock solid, miui on top so we can love or hate it, however as it's based on xiaomi software I do not experienced any bugs so far.

I am on stock ROM now MIUI 11 / Android 9. Looking for an opportunity to switch on Android 10 ROM, which have amoled black theme for most of apps in dark mode. Current ROM (stock) even don't have black theme for youtube. So any suggestions are considerable.

MIUIMIX Beta/Weekly.

1 - MIUI in my opinon is superior to AOSP and Lineage, better battery, fit to the hardware.

2 - Updated to the latest and greatest that Xiaomi want on the phone

3 - Very stable, even if the Beta

try RR remix Pie it has minimal to zero bugs, dark mode, lots of customization combined with butterfly kernel v5 and you can use it as a daily driver. i've try miui eu and other custom roms but RR is very stable and it has a good battery back up.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Cottaer:
I'm missing the option to set my device to 4G only. Under "Settings" -> "Network & internet" -> "Mobile network" -> "Preferred network type" I can switch only between "2G/3G/4G" and "2G/3G". I miss further options and especially to set it on "4G" or LTE only. Because my network provider is pretty bad at 3G but quite good at 4G, even when 3G signal is much stronger and 4G signal is weak.

I don't care if I can't take voice calls in this mode.

Edit: I see there are apps on the store to do this. Though would be great to do it within the ROM.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Cottaer:
My old phone did, when LTE signal was weak (but still available), and I assume, any other phone will do so as well. But data was much more reliable within 4G than 3G, even when signal was weak.

Anyone knows the actual difference between 4G and 4G+ icon on top bar? I've got the international version with MEO provider (Portugal), and I never saw the 4G+ icon active.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] ased10:
4G+ Means LTE-Advanced aka True 4G, and it is faster than 4G. The only difference is the maximium theoretical speed, bandwidth and minimium latency you can get. 4G can reach speeds up to 100Mbit/s, while the 4G+ (LTE-A) can reach up to or over 1GBit/s, with less than a few milliseconds of latency.

As far as I see, this option does not set "LTE only" but data only. What I need is to set the phone to LTE only. Thanks anyway.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pachjo:
Ho,

I am reading and getting more intrigued re flashing my TyTnII with a suitable ROM, after my holidy in July of couse as I really need it for that.

But can someone explain how a cooked ROM is able to out perform a stock one?

I dont get it? Take GPS for example. I read that it is the radio driver tha deals with this?

So how come a huge organisation like HTC puts a radio on the device and then someone off their own back is able to do something with the driver to make it more effiecient?

Or am I totally discombobulated and talking gaa gaa?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
Well for one the software on Cooked ROMs is different. All the "Bloatware" is removed and some useful applications are cooked in.

As for radios there are many variaties (some ported from other devices) that perform better on different networks and different locations.

The radios arn't made by chefs, there just taken from different ROM's. I.e. some from the newest ATT Tilt, some from the Vodafone 6.1 ROM etc. etc.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] KaiserVideoDriver:
HTC is a company with primary objective: making money

if you were HTC's owner, and assuming you want more and more money, would you release a product that is so perfect that nobody will never consider buying your next updated newer products? on the other hand, to attract customers to your current product you need to have amazing specifications listed in your marketing brochures (i.e. hardware features) which unfortunately can ONLY work with better "ingridients" of ROM (did somebody mention cooked ROMs ?)

ps: btw how old are you?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
Further to this, HTC "forgot" the drivers for the hardware graphics acceleration for the MSM chipset. There not all that good.

Dave (BTW if you want my age you'll have to find it :p)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thomassster:
couple things you can do. You can flash a radio and you can flash a cooked rom. Different radios can give you different reception, and even faster GPS lock. You will have to experiment on which one works best, as long as the radio is compatible with the rom. A cooked rom has a lot of programs stripped out from OEM which makes the rom a lot faster than the OEM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pachjo:
Excellent chaps, I am more inclined to have a go!

Mmm how old am I?

Well let's see beleive it or not I am a programmer for a large organisation but know jack about all this stuff in the same way I know jack about web creation or networks. But I do know about programming database applications and in my time have written a few nice graphics programs.

Now here's the thing....can you guess my age?

Have worked here for 25 years and worked my way up the ranks, been married for 22 years and have a 21 year old son.......

BTW why do you want to know how old I am?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bardia Garsha:
How do cooked roms differ?

Well, to be honest, it's more about "usability / feel / look " than any other thing.

Original/Official roms are generally having an appalling feel and look. For example, take my network provider (Orange in UK). I had read a lot about TyTN_II (aka Tilt/Kaiser...etc.) before getting my own from Orange. The moment I unpacked the device and turned it on , I was completely disappointed. Orange engineers spend a lot of time "customizing" (i.e. ruining) the feel and look of the device so that it looks more Orange-ish.

Their fossil tech people bag their regular salary every month and are light years behind the current time. They have no desire/motivation to be innovative (that's why they do not realse a software update even every two years).

I received my SPVM3100 (aka TyTN) from Orange almost 3 years ago. Two and a half years later, when I received TyTN_II , I was shocked to see that they had loaded exactly the same bloatware and disgusting theme they had used on older HTC devices years ago.

xda rom developers are up-to-date; they are brilliant individuals who develop software out of their personal passion and love of technology. They know what is exactly going on in PDA community at this very moment. They listen to users' experiences in real life every day and they strive to make things look better, more practical and faster.

With an original/official rom you're stuck with what the HTC (or Orange, AT&T, Vodafone ...) developers put in your device ages ago. With cooked roms (depending on your actual use of the device) you have a variety of options to choose from.

And most important of all, you'll join the forum, get addicted to it, learn loads of new tweaks and work-arounds, and will see surprising new customized software almost every week.

Believe me, stay tuned in here and soon you'll notice that not only you're holding a completely different device in your hand, but also YOU will be a completely new user of the device ; a user more in command of the HTC you're carrying around :D

Kooooooooooooool:D

I bought my TyTnII for £434 unlocked.

It has an Ornage sim card plus all the stuff I have loaed myself:

SBP Pocket Plus, Weather, Time etc and loads of German learning programs, speech and the like.

When I first came to this site I was put off as I did not fully grasp what it was all about, but that's me all over....should read the manual first ;)

I really like the idea of flashing and getting rid of the bloatware as you call it and see how my device works afterwards.

But as I paid £434 for it if I brick it my wife will use said brick to remove my ability to father any heirs!!!!!

Yoinks!

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Puddies:
Before the Android 10 update, I was able to see the digital clock, when the phone is locked and when I tap the screen once or when I simply rise the phone.

Now, after the Android 10 update, I only see the fingerprint unlock symbol, but no clock. How can I activate the clock for this display (display after rising the phone in standby mode) again?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dunjamon:
Have a look in settings -> customisation. There is a Clock Style setting there. I think its because a lot of the clock styles have been removed so you'll need to pick a new on.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] antonyf:
Hi,

Does anyone know how to disable the new fingerprint unlock animation on the Mi Mix 2S?

It seems to be a system launcher update, the changelog says: "Fingerprint unlock works with an animated effect now!" The exclamation mark seems to indicate they find this excting, but I do not. Whereas it felt crisp and fast to unlock, there's now a perceptible wait as the bloated icons sluggishly come into view after unlock.

I have tried disabling animation effects in Developer options (I had most turned off anyway) but can't seem to find a way to stop this.

Thanks for any help.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
it might be built in into the launcher? If you use the app drawer, you can give a try to the Poco Launcher, it is well integrated with miui

I did use Poco for ages, then went back to stock once it offered grids of 5 icons.

What's going on? Does Root Explorer unlock something which makes it "click"? I don't get it at all. I only hope it is reliable in the long run and not switching "on" and "off" randomly.

Issue resolved by installing FX file commander
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] LostEchoes:
Hi there.

I have the exact same problem.

None of those steps helped me :(

I tried installing every single Root Explorer there is in the Play Store, but none worked.

Which one of the Root Explorer apps that we can find on Play Store did the trick for you ?

I enabled the default browser and the HiCare app (actually they were not disabled, so I just opened them to complete their setup) but this did not help either.

I even formatted the memory card (using my phone "format card" option) and then reset my phone to factory defaults and set it up again from the beginning without restoring backups.

I still have not found a solution to thus issue, though.

Any ideas anyone?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] malshadows:
I have similar problems relating to this thread on my mate 20 pro after updating to Android 10 (EMUI 10). I've tried all the methods mentioned here and it worked briefly before restarting the phone. After restarting the phone, it went back to being unable to copy files to External Storage.

I noticed that i was able to delete and rename files on the external storage but i just can't seem to copy anything into it.

I can copy files from the external card to internal storage but not the other way around.

Tried using MiXplorer, the only way i can copy files into the external card is by this method:

i copied the file and it shows error, but there's an image of the file created on the external card with 0 kb. Then i overwrite the file and replacing the '0 kb' file and it worked. And another method to just to use the built-in file manager which is a pain to use and the UI are crappy.

It was a lengthy method and therefore I decided to downgrade to Android 9 for now.

I also noticed i can't change the download directory of my Ttorrent app to any folder of my choice in external storage.

anyone can suggest a better method to overwrite this external drive issue? Thanks in advanced.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] LostEchoes:
This this the "official" reply at the Huawei forums:

https://consumer.huawei.com/en/comm...-disabled-for-3rd-party-apps-!/topicId_90489/

Now, what I've come to notice is the following:

- All Huawei and Google apps I have tried, do have access to the memory card (e.g. Google Maps is allowed to save its offline maps on the SD card, the same for Google News and the articles it downloads)

- Some 3rd party apps do have access. E.g. Here We Go maps can save its maps on the external card. ASR Voice Recorder can save its recordings to a specific memory card folder, the one that is automatically created -on the card- by the app when it is installed on the phone. Maybe there are other app that we will find they can, too.

- So it seems that the rule is not general, as Huawei implies at that thread I have posted above.

My biggest concern was that MixPlorer has now limited use, and this is kind of sad as it was my favorite explorer.

Huawei Files manager is not bad, it's actually quite OK, but it bothers me that you cannot add 3rd party clouds on it. If it had that option I would be happy with it. I like it that it has that "favorites" option. For now I have created a folder "My Archives" on the internal memory and I initially save almost everything there (e.g. my Nova Launcher backups). Then I use Huawei Files manager to move them to the external memory card on the folders I want.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] malshadows:
Hey that's a good idea of creating a temp folder on your internal drive before using Huawei file manager to transfer everything out to your external card. However it requires additional steps to get it done but it's a good idea nonetheless. Thanks for that suggestion. For me i'm so used to be using solid explorer to do all my file operations as it has google drive integration which makes it easy n fast to transfer between drives. So i guess my best bet is to downgrade to android 9, it's just much more comfortable to work with and in my opinion, android 10 is not that big of a deal and not much substantial changes anyway. Hehe.

After that try to copy some file to memory card with default file manager an default Gallery...

Sometimes it is enough sometimes I have to try more and more... But after several time it works!
