[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] derf37:
Bout a week ago my FrankenPhone (its a softbank TyTn, with an Cingular 8525 Main Board) started to fritz out, the screen would tap repeatedly without me touching it. Then it just stopped working altogether, the screen worked but the touch didn't. I reflashed my 6.1 rom but to no avail. Acutally it was worse, I was stuck on the green 'tap here to begin' screen. So, my 85Ty1HT whatever it is was once again dead. (on a side note I'm now the proud owner of a Blackjack 2 backup phone which really isnt half bad. Thanks craigslist). I use the internet sharing pretty often on the road so i was determined to bring my phone back to life.

Short story long, I ordered a replacement screen/digitizer from blackberry8100parts.com It was pretty darn cheap, less then $50 shipped to my door, excellent service and great value. I popped the new screen in, fumbled a few times trying to get that funky ribbon cable connected. But everything is back to normal, and the Blackjack gets to live in a drawer until I drop or otherwise try and destroy my trusty Hermes again.

I followed the advice not to order just the digitizer, i think it worked out pretty good, I don't own any soldering tools. But the replacement of the whole screen assembly is very straight forward.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] derf37:
Thats the frakenfone part. I bought an 8525 from Ebay with a cracked screen and used the main board from it. I was going to use the digitizer from that same phone but figured it wasn't worth the hassle.

yes this would be and is illegal and unethical not to mention :) there is a ROM that was made the other day I forget by who but it resets the call timers back to zero. Quick question why would you want to reset the timers unless you are trying to sell the phone as new which is not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ryncppr:
That ROM was mine...I do not have any clue what I did, but it reset all the call timers back to zero!!! This was not done purposely it was an error in my part on something I did while cooking the rom...

THe weird thing is though when you flash back to another ROM your call timers reappear so it truely does not reset the timers on the phone

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Gnubaver:
If I wanted to go to Stable OOS from Open Beta. And I wanted it to be a complete full wipe.

What would be the easiest way to do it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jaseman:
I believe that since you are willing to do a full wipe that using Oxygen Updater would be the best. You can choose what type of update you want, such as beta, or stable, as well as Full or Incremental. Now I have used it many times but I have always been on stable. I am fairly certain that you can download the FULL stable version and apply it as it is. You should receive a warning that this will WIPE your phone as you are willing to do, and then after the update is completed you will be running the latest 10.0.2 stable.

If there is anyone here reading this that has a better way, or can correct any error on my part, then please chime in!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] The Blackholed Gamer:
I had MIUI 11 installed. I flashed the latest firmware 9.9.3, installed TWRP, and flashed the official Pixel Experience ROM 10 along with fcrypt disabler but it was stuck in the boot loop. So I flashed only the ROM file again and wiped dalvik&cache. The ROM is working perfectly.

But now I wanted to flash the magisk root and when I entered TWRP, it didn't ask me for a password even though I set a pin for my device. When I saw my storage, everything was encrypted.

So do I have to format my storage in order to get decrypted or did I miss any steps? Please advice.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Sourab debnath:
It's not your fault. There is a problem with pixel experience 10. Now you have one option. Use a external memory. And install what you want.

If you flas fcrypt disabler, then you have to format your internal storage. Which is disgusting.

Any ideas about this?

I'm a bit frustrated by the fact I can't record video in real-time 24fps with any third-party apps, nor the native one. It's not something I've seen discussed anywhere, as the focus is usually on the P30 Pro. I don't know if this is a hardware limitation or if there's any chance firmware or hacking could fix it.

The iPhone can do it, not everyone wants 30fps! Least of all amateur film-makers enticed by the cinematic camera capabilities of this device.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cameraz:
The fingerprint scanner on my Essential phone several weeks ago started operating very erratically. I sometimes have to put my finger to the scanner four or five times to get it to work. Sometimes it won't work at all. This happens with the two separate fingerprints that I have stored. And, yes,

my hands are clean

,

as is the fingerprint scanner

.

When my phone was new, the scanner recognized my fingerprint on the first touch every time. I have rescanned my fingerprints several times, but it doesn't help.

What would cause the scanner to have trouble recognizing my fingerprint(s)?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Porpet:
Well, a dirty fingerprint scanner was going to be my guess because that's what happens to me, but you already checked that.

Have you tried resetting you fingerprints? Computing is not an exact science, maybe this will help.

A factory reset would be my next try. OTA's tend to slowly break things.

If this does not help, I don't know what could be wrong software-wise.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cameraz:
I have done

ALL

the things you have suggested. Sometimes the scanner won't read my fingerprints at all.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Porpet:
Well, I poured all my knowledge in the previous post.

For the factory reset, did you use the recovery for it or did you reflashed the fastboot zip from Essential? Because if there's any corruption in your system image, reflashing would be better.

You should try to log what happens when you use the fingerprint scanner. As far as I know there's two places that could be at fault. The hardware that generates the signal or the gapp responsible for its processing (don't know what is, maybe play store). If there's a signal every time you put your finger, the problem is probably on the google side and should be fixable by someway. If there's no signal when the scanner fails, then it's a hardware problem.

I don't actually know how to log the fingerprint scanner, but you'll probably need root.

Alright, Here we go again.​

The first thing you should know, this apps has modified by me aka Fatra Megantara (petrukgrinder) :p. The original apps by @dedraks. So, thank you for a great job bro and sorry I don't ask for permissions first. All credits goes to him. The second thing why I did this? the reason because @dedraks have a problem bout the project. Here's the statement from him :

[IMG="statement"]https://scontent.fcgk18-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/79083014_10215576314270137_6303055435356176384_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_eui2=AeH1KEWQeglRf3NvPpYZ0J5J-sxrD8o-7k4fw-CpUAAeDSc4m_VjKQOjiOemVgk5IOxrQgGjjAdaNRpEQ50BFgUNjKbXoCj2uRoL59dQojrZQw&_nc_ohc=kPqUUJEzkhIAQmP76myqjAsiXuu8lIMWOSz3poMUkmJvDhJQ6iC7tIobg&_nc_ht=scontent.fcgk18-2.fna&oh=af24666086fe802960a5ae88354320f7&oe=5E7E877E[/IMG]

So, before he continue the project I make a modified apps. The modified apps is only to bypass the "unlock code" so u don't need to worry about the unlock code or installation id.

How to :

1. Make a picture with resolution 1080 x 1920

2. Put it on your phone storage

3. Open Splasher Mod and Grant Access for root access.

4. Tap the "Camera" icon to pick your image.

5. Tap the "Flash" button on the bottom right corner.

6. Wait till the "spinner" dissappear and Reboot.

7. Enjoy!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turtleletortue:
So recently, I have been made aware of a device called the Powkiddy X18. At first, I didn't want to have it at all. However, I saw people with it not having a good experience with it, so I decided to help. The device could not use Play Services (on the stock rom it would act bricked if they were installed). Without even owning the device, I guided a person through the process of backing up the partitions (using mtk-su since it's based on the mt8163). It was going well for a while, but eventually I started trying to make a device tree for building TWRP. All of my attempts for TWRP have bootlooped, except for one which made the device act bricked. I personally have not been able to get a bootloader unlock to work, but someone who did have theirs unlock (due to the fact they have contact with the company that made the software) said it gave the same result. I am kinda stumped.

I have seen mixed information on making device trees online. When I say device tree, I mean the one in devices/manufacturer/codename, not the things for the kernel. I am really confused and need some guidance on this. A guy who goes under the pseudonym Taki Maki(on Youtube under Taki Udon) has gotten the software maker to release a cleanish rom with Play Services to buy us some time. However, I'm so confused at what to do. I'm fine with not building TWRP and only building a rom since according to Taki, he talked to another person who built a rom for this chip and they said they couldn't ever build TWRP.

I appreciate any help. Here is a link to my attempt at building a device tree. https://github.com/turtleletortue/android_device_powkiddy_x18

I'm particularly confused on how to find out what is needed for the rom to boot. I do have mountable backups of the system partition, but I'm still confused. The only similar device I know of that has a custom rom is on this Github https://github.com/mt8163. I thought it'd help me figure it all out but it hasn't. At this point, I only really care about building a clean lineage or aosp build since the cleanish rom still has some questionable software on it. I can test much faster now that I have gotten my own one.

Hoping somebody with knowledge is able to help me. Thanks in advance to whoever steps up to the plate!

i plan to buy the g7 thinq, european monosim :( because it's what i can easly find here in italy, but i don't understand something, i've read here and in other places but still don't understand

so, if i buy a new phone i need root, i think i'm fine with stock os (if is pie version) and:

if i, of course, set a password and someone steal my phone, what's the difference between having an unlocked bootloader or not? can i lock access from within developer option? oem unlock right? does it matter?

if i use this method i will not lose warranty contrary to official method but i cannot relock bootloader?

fastboot isn't a standard boot mode every phone has? is the same as adb access option? is useful for adb commands when the phone doesn't boot?

is the phone encrypted? i saw there is an option to encrypt sd, but the phone memory?

what about an encrypted sd if the phone breaks?

i cant find an answer for all this, hope someone of you can enlighten me

I recently switched from Stock Oreo to Lineage Pie. Google play services are consuming about 70% of my battery based on the battery settings info. I am using gapps nano and use AT&T for service. I only use LTE and never use WiFi.

Overnight I used to lose about 3% of my battery. Right now it is closer to 5%. When I use the phone for internet, the battery drops about 1% every 3-4 minutes.

I think the LTE might be connecting/reconnecting a lot and contributing to this issue. I disabled "google" service/app and the wellbeing service/app.

I also tried deleting all data for google play services and rebooting.

Any suggestions?
