There are but only a few of us have access to it
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
So guys update as of 11/21/20 I have played around with the stock OTA files I have found pretty much everything for the SoC and drivers I am trying currently to figure out what exactly I will need to do to get all of those working properly currently I am looking at AOSPs build structure since the device seems to be running a AOSP based MM ROM for the last OTA keep in mind this does not mean we will have a AOSP port (unless it accidentally happens) I am still mainly focusing on RR and lineage since MM is so old now those build tools are out of date last night I was playing with a copy of my stock files and have tried to build the OTA with the updated build tools and it may actually be possible no idea yet sorry for the long wait I took a much needed break from everything for a bit

Another word here currently stuck at work but it looks as though this device was way too much work for people to want to continue with and it seems like the rewrite of AOSP where Kati, soong and ninja files made things a bit interesting as (for my coders here) gnu make is almost completely fazed out of androids build system well not entirely more so android is now using a fork they made so the code is all different not to mention trying to get to pie looks like go is now used as well (I have zero experience with go) as I said I've been playing with the files lately it's going to take a lot of new code to get this running right to a degree it does have me worried as I'm not sure what kind of work arounds I will need as I CANNOT update the kernel version as after kernel 3.10 it looks as though the support for tegra 4 (grate) driver (gpu on the SoC) was fazed out after 3.10 also that may mean there's ZERO we can do about it i am hoping that the drivers are written in C++ because then I maybe able to find another work around I don't want anyone to get hopes up for say I'm trying here guys

Any way for me to contribute? Just my cs degree and I have a lot of free time. Don't know much about os and android programming though.

Would it be difficult to pick up? I know Python, C, and some Javascript.
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Honestly buddy not sure how much help it would be as android has changed A LOT if you are interested in learning the basics of how it all works I'd recommend alaskalinuxuser on YT been a great knowledge base there but the issue becomes android is no longer using gcc etc go to googles AOSP build tools area to learn more there it's a headache I mean theres Kati (think that's short for Koltin or something like that) ninja (used along side Kati if I recall correctly) and soong (some odd language crap I don't fully understand yet supposedly to speed up the build process) and as of android Q (I think is the most up-to-date) there are now blueprints (I believe those are replacing the .mk files) don't quote me though but if you want to talk and learn I'll help along the way reach out via telegram or something but do keep in mind that I am not the end all be all of knowledge
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
So guys I was technically wrong to a degree i stated that I had to stay on 3.10 kernel because tegra support was removed although not entirely true in my research it turns out that tegra did continue support but only for the K1 platform not the T114 (tegra 4) with that also being said I've seen from Nvidia's recent 8.x release that it appears the structuring is different now on how Nvidia is calling for the tegra SoCs I have yet to find a tegra 4 structure written in the same way soooo YOU GUESSED IT more writing and head smashing against the desk lol current headache is still the kernel I am going to try to force build the kernel itself in a VM using the old gcc toolchains since clang is now the default for building kernels I'll have to somehow change over the tool base for the 3.10 kernel to use clang once I am able to do so (not exactly sure how yet) I'll be publicly releasing that (after confirmation of boot) and from there that may help me get further along or if not I maybe able to force a build with a prebuilt kernel I am not sure entirely please keep in mind all of this testing right now is being done on stock Android meaning Nvidia's code only not in lineage or RR etc I figured with the PoC here it was better to stay in the OEM code (yes this includes testing in nvidia's 8.x source that just came out) currently most of Roth's stock files play nice and are read by googles new build tools (for the most part still fixing things) but who knows man I don't see this being done anytime soon but if I can properly build Roth's last OTA from Nvidia on my VM along with the kernel (biggest thing is that kernel) I will put the stock OTA up so it's out there easily accessible to everyone

Please understand that this is in no way easy lol T114 (tegra 4) as I can find documentation for only was released for Dalemore and Roth Dalemore being the dev board for tegra 4 (also one called pluto supposedly) and as far as I can tell these where the only SoCs to run T114 and with everything being dead as of 5.1 officially and 6.0.1 unofficially I am litterally figuring this out bit by bit and EVERYONE and I do mean everyone has told me the device is dead and I should just stop as I won't get anywhere so as far as I am aware I am the last one here

If anyone knows where I can get a dalmore board or hell pluto any tegra 4 dev board let me know I don't have any dev hardware and I don't have another device laying around to try to uart/serial into so this has been trial and error but I'm trying all until a later update please feel free to contact me here via PM or via telegram I saw that a lot of you are watching it that's my bad I forgot about it
[Shield General] nk33:
I'm thinking of buying one of these second hand

whats the latest ROM i can get for the shield portable?

is it worth buying when i already have a Razer Phone 2 with Junglecat as spare phone to use for game streaming and mobile gaming...?
[Shield General] ricardo85x:
I am looking for a old mupenplus64 Retroarch core.

It used to work 5 years ago.

Today it just crash,

I'm using it with kitkat 4.4.
[Shield General] nk33:
cant you just use the moonlight app to stream via Nvidia Gamestream anyway? to me it works better than the built in Nvidia one anyway
[Shield General] moonhop7:
I have two Shields . One runs Lineage and is able to run pretty much everything that you can on Android 6 M . The other is on stock 5.1 L and performs great as well . Even though these are both older android builds, for this device , I have no complaints about the user UI - even stock L is updated enough to run smoothly . The build quality also is still impressive to this day and speaker wise they blow the Razer phone out of the water lol. They also have great battery life "out of the box ". I only installed Lineage on one just as an experiment to see if not having the button mapping and some other features would really matter. All the game streaming and android games I've installed detect the controller normally and it's a very clean/ light UI experience.

The Razer phone is great , honestly it's "too powerful" lol . The shield launched several years ago but can easily out perform the Razer phone . There are several games that still run on the portable that will not run on the Razer phone even if they are sideloaded . If you can get one of these at a reasonable price , I say "go for it" . Like I said there is a lot of stuff it can still do and you might even find yourself prefer to use it for stuff over the Razer .
[Shield General] nk33:
Hi mate - thanks for the response - since this post I have bought a OnPlus 8 Pro (in April 2020), A Razer Kishi which works well, the Nvidia Shield Portable and I instaleld the 6.01 Rom here.

However in March 2021 I backed the Indiego campaign for Aya Neo portable windows device and everything else has now taken a back seat.

I can literally play AAA Windows games directly on my handheld device. It even has a TDP power switcheer to set it to consume less power when not needed like when playing Roms or less demanding PC games.

Serioualy i cannot recommend this device enough - especially as they have now brought out a new one with Analgue triggers and various other improvements
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
Oh man it's been a minute. So my old shield died, but Just managed to secure another.

I've been out of the loop for a minute. I really want to get hotline Miami 1/2 that was a shield exclusive. What version is it recommended I flash? Is a lot of stuff now unsupported?
[Shield General] nk33:
There is absolutely no reason to buy a shield in this era man - the os is so slow and unsupported and there is so much other stuff out there on the market that just works - why would you buy another one
[Shield General] moonhop7:
This is true however if one of these can be had for a reasonable price there still is some potential here. I had three of these and one that I used for "parts". I did just sell one but I'm still getting daily use out of the remaining two. It's true that these have to be tinkered with as the OS is older but the games and emulators, I run on mine still seem to work pretty well. The form factor, sound and improvements in game streaming have justified continued use of these for me personally.

I would really like to see the rom for the shield updated. As it stands play services and some of the other proprietary apps still function, but the clock is ticking. Yeah, someone should not run out and grab one of these, yet I do not feel they are e -waste at the same time. It's surreal lol so many great handhelds especially now.
[Shield General] nk33:
my usb connector at the back has been damaged and i havent bothered looking for someone to fix it for me - not sure how easy it would be to solder another one on...
[Shield General] nk33:
ye - I have had my Aya Neo now for a couple of years and it literally does absolutely everything - runs AAA windows games, streams games from my PC, i can use it with the dock as a desktop, i can run switch and android emulators...its amazing
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
It was free. Mostly going to be using it for emulators, plus I have my old one for spare parts.

Going for version 101, unless anyone recommends 110? I remember not liking the jellybean update but think I never tried any of the newest, and sat on 4.4.2

On a positive note, think I found my old backups of halflife 2, portal, and hotline miami!
[Shield General] moonhop7:
Actually, that would be a pretty straight forward job for an electrician. I've taken these apart and worked on them before. If you had someone, do it in your local, it would be worth it.
[Shield General] moonhop7:
Both 110 and Linenage OS M run very well on these still.
[Shield General] nk33:
this is great news - i have one whos doing a cabling job for me - but surely i would need to buy the new usb port....? have you got a link?
[Shield General] moonhop7:
It's a base standard micro-USB (2.0) port. You should be able to get one cheap on eBay.
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
Is there still the bug of delayed audio adjustments on 110? Or any other reasons to upgrade past 101?
[Shield General] moonhop7:
I remember that lol. They fixed it in 110. They pulled the Expendables and Sonic games, but the update runs L and everything still works. I literally spend hours playing Zen pinball on this now haha!
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
I've been out of the loop, what's "L"
[Shield General] moonhop7:
Lollipop
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
Ah gotcha. Thankfully all my backups worked, but I'm not able to get youtube working due to the out of date android version, do you know if there is a fix? Is youtube on 5.1/update 110 working still?
[Shield General] moonhop7:
Android Lollipop 5.1 still is working/ Google certified on my Shield. YouTube, Nvidia Games and Game Stream all run, I wonder for how long though :)
[Shield General] nk33:
Have you tried Youtube Vanced?
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
Yeah doesn't work with any versions
[Shield General] Kylewolf:
Ok, guess I might as well upgrade, thanks!
[Shield General] moonhop7:
For what it is, the Shield is still pretty good. When I went to Mexico, I brought a couple of handhelds with me, but I ended up playing the portable a lot as it was loud and had great battery life. If you go on Nvidia Developers, there is a way to build an updated version of the rom and Nvidia makes the vender blobs open source. I just have never worked in a Linux build environment. If the Shield could get bumped up to like android 8, that would be pretty good. I have a Shield on LinageOS Marshmallow that can run Xbox Game pass and a bunch of stuff but again for how much longer?

Hi all,

I've been searching for a way to change the ugly [3G] icon that's displayed on the title bar in WM 6.1 on my Kaiser. The current official icon looks distorted as if it has been stretched and is really ugly! I'm talking about the large plain 3G icon, not the one with the antenna next to it.

So far I've come across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=351770

This thread refers to shellres.96.dll and also to a .CAB which contains a modified version of phcanOverbmp.dll. I extracted these two DLLs from my device and checked them with several resource editors, but could not locate the dreaded [3G] icon... I could find the battery, phone, wi-fi, and many other icons in there, but not the [3G] one. So it must be stored in a different DLL... Note that I'm using WM 6.1 (not 6.0). Could it be that these icons are located in a different DLL in WM 6.1?

Does anyone know the location of the [3G] icon in WM 6.1 ROMs? I want to do the modification myself (I'm a programmer and know how to do it). I just can't find the file it is stored in. :confused:

Any info/help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to all!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Is this the one you are reffering to?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
the icon is in phcanOverbmp.dll
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raiisak:
Use resh to strip it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Wow, your version looks better! The one I'm referring to is the one I'm attaching to this post. This is the icon that comes with the official 6.0/6.1 Kaiser ROMs.

This has got to be the ugliest, most distorted icon I've even seen in a WM device! :eek: It may sound like a minor detail to a lot of people, but it just spoils the otherwise beautiful Today screen of my Kaiser, that's why I want to change it if possible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Thanks to everyone for the quick replies!

Are you sure it's in there? I tried checking phcanOverbmp.dll again using both PE Explorer and Resource Hacker, but it's not there, or I'm doing something wrong. I'm attaching the DLL to this post, if someone wants to check it out. This is the file that came straight out of my device, which is exactly the same as the file I extracted from the official ROM files (HTC WM 6.1 WWE). I just can't find the [3G] icon in there... :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Thanks for the suggestion. I've just tried resh on the DLL suggested above, but can't find the dreaded [3G] icon!!! See my previous post.

:confused: :confused: :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ecltech:
I think it's in the shellres.96.dll file. Check in there. I just checked mine and it's under Icon->44->0.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Many thanks for posting. Unfortunately this is not the same icon! I found this earlier on while I was searching the shellres.96.dll DLL. See attached image. This is the small version (3G logo on top-left), which is part of the animation it shows while connecting. This icon looks OK. The one I'm referring to is the large plain 3G icon with large distorted fonts, as shown in my post #5 above.

Thanks again for trying. I can't believe it's so difficult to find this little icon! :confused: :mad: :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Still can't find it! Aaarghhh!

Hi again, sorry for bumping this, if any of the cooks out there reads this thread and has successfully modified the [3G] icon on a WM 6.1 ROM, I'd be really grateful if they could let me know how they did it. As said above, I was expecting to find it as an icon resource in a DLL, but checking both shellres.96.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll it's just not there... :confused: There are 500+ DLL files in the thing, so it's near-impossible to check them all manually... :p

If anyone knows anything about the whereabouts of this mystery icon, please let me know.

Many thanks in advance to everyone in the forum, your help is greatly appreciated.

Try IconsExtract from www.nirsoft.net. You can point IconsExtract at a folder and tell it to scan sub-folders too; just give it the root folder of your dumped ROM and let it go.....

As several people have already said, the icon is almost certainly in the pcCanOverBMP.dll file; there are about ten "3G" icons in my (WM6.0) version, most of which are the small versions that get displayed when a 3G data transfer is taking place......BUT, there is (at least) one icon that could be the main icon.

When you look at the output from IconsExtract, the 3G icons don't actually show until you click on them to highlight them, which makes me think they may be kinda transparent icons?

Have a go....see what you think ;)

Mark.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
phcanOverbmp.dll is where the 3G icon is located. I have a nice looking 3G icon from back in the Hermes days that works on the kaiser I will upload later if you still need it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
@Mark Crouch: Many thanks for the suggestions. I've never used IconsExtract, it sounds like the ideal solution for batch-extracting the icons in the 100s of DLLs in the ROM. I will give it a try and post my findings here.

About phcanOverbmp.dll, if you guys are absolutely certain that it's in there, then I must be doing something wrong. I tried at least 3 different resource editors and could not find it. But I did notice that different editors showed slightly different data (for e.g., Visual Studio's resource editor wasn't able to display all data for some reason). I hope IconsExtract will manage to show the dreaded icon.

@austinsnyc: Another vote for phcanOverbmp.dll, many thanks for this. Let me do some tests and if I still can't find it I'll ask you for the file.

Thx guys, will post here when I do the tests.

DrXDA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
I am 100% sure that the 3G is in phcanOverbmp.dll.... Again you can also find the cab I am talking about by searching Xda for "clean 3G icon" you might find it in the hermes section but it works fine for Kaisers as well :) Now a CUSTOM 3G would be totally awesome and something I have not seen before except by using WiseBar Advanced which I don't like to use.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Still can't find it!

Hi again, I've just tried IconsExtract to extract all icons in phcanOverbmp.dll. Guess what? The damn [3G] icon still doesn't show up! There's only one icon in there (not related to 3G) and also some bitmaps (again unrelated to 3G).

Can someone please download the version of phcanOverbmp.dll that's in my Kaiser (it can be found

here

), and check it out to see if you can find the icon? I'm really looking forward to your results. Note that this DLL is the original file that is contained in the official HTC ROM, I've double checked this by extracting the same file from the official ROM image and comparing the two. It's definitely official and untouched.

Please note that I'm using the official HTC WM 6.1 WWE ROM (not the old WM 6.0 ROM). My guesses are that either the WM 6.1 ROMs don't have the icon in there, or maybe the icon is stored in a non-standard way, so the normal resource editors can't extract/show it.

Any ideas are welcome.

I think I'm beginning to give up on this... :(

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] id242:
The attached file is the one I have been using on Kaiser and previously used on the Hermes I had - no problems on either devices. I like it and am still using it today on WM6.1 PDAviet v7

I Believe that it was inside an add-on package from one of Schap's earlier WM6 roms (mid-2007).

search xda for "clean 3g icon" if you care to know it's history.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DrXDA:
Many thanks, I will give it a try to see what happens. I quickly checked the phcanOverbmp.dll contained in your .CAB and voila! The 3G icon is in there (and looks nice too)! What I still don't understand is the fact that the 3G icon is NOT in my own phcanOverbmp.dll (original file from HTC). How come? :confused:

Anyway, I will try the .CAB to see what it does. But still, I was expecting to find the 3G icon in my Kaiser's original DLL too, so I can change it myself as needed. This is still a mystery to me... :confused:

Thanks again.

DrXDA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
the reason i think HTC changes it from build to build and also something strange that might be cause of your problem inside the kaiser OS.nb there are to pecanoverlook.dll(:)) one is just like that one and the onther is _pecanoverlook.ddl which is swapped out for one another when Autro-run is run...

may not mean didle **** just a thought.

Hey guys. Just wanted to share some tweaks with which you guys can get amazing battery life on your redmi note 3. I used this setup for 3 full charge cycles, and averaged about 10Hrs SOT with a 1 year old battery, when I was getting about 5-6 hrs of SOT only on normal pie/10 roms. Do give this setup a try if you want the absolute best battery, and don't mind about performance degradation a bit... The device now behaves like it's got a 5000Mah battery now:D:D. If you guys manage a better setup than this, then do share your setup down below. And please hit the thanks button if this helped you. Cheers:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.

SETUP:

Havoc OS latest 8.1

Latest agni kernel 13.0

Spectrum profile to battery

In any kernel manager (I use fk kernel manager):

.Big cores disabled

.Little cores max clock at 1382Mhz. Min clock to 400Mhz.

.Undervolt to lowest stable value (It's different for everyone, so try out a stable value for you).

.GPU max freq to 432MHz. Min to 133Mhz.

.Adreno Idler to on.

**Guys who have the 2gb kenzo, try the mcaosp 8.0 ROM instead of havoc. It has better

RAM management for you guys.**
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black_Stark:
Lol why u disabling cores. If u fantasize about 5000mah battery then buy redmi 8. Most of the kenzo users gone to android 10.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Divyeshj66:
You don't like it don't use it. Don't criticize him for giving his opinion. You're talking as if he's forced you to disable your phones cores.

By the way, I'll try out the setup. Thanks for posting it for all kenzo users.
