[General Questions and Answers] sintoo:
After reading other source, someone said the ext4.win are just tar. One only needs to rename them to ext4.win.tar and you uncompress to img.

I guess the truth is more complicated than that because img (from stock, ready to be ODINed/Bootloader Fastboot) are raw images, including zeros. That's the difference.

In the end, if I had to do it again, I would have to dd the whole /mmcblkxxx(system) to a microSD. Yes 16-20Gb takes a much longer time than 2-3Gb (system.ext4.win) but that what <fastboot flash system system.img> requires (raw data and zeros).

if you add entry with file system type "emmc" in /etc/recovery.fstab TWRP produces flashable disk image system_image.emmc.win* instead of tar archive (which you can probably concatenate into system.img)

I took the Dec 2019 OTA, by uninstalling Magisk, took the OTA ( did not reboot) and where I think i went wrong was when re-patching the boot.img i choose to install on inactive slot.

I have since tried many other things to recover from this. Is it possible to fix it without wiping and losing my data?

I have myself at No vaild slot to boot

What happens when you flash the stock boot.img? Have you tried fastboot flashing the full image (not OTA) removing the wipe flag (-w) from the flash-all.bat? If that doesn't work, your data may already be gone or corrupt. Next step, flash full image and allowing data wipe.

Assuming that was the stock boot.img extracted from the Google image, you could also try flashing the same to both slots before trying flashing the full factory image, removing the wipe flag first.

I ordered it and the case fits perfectly - not a fan of the screen protectors, but I put one on and it also fit perfectly and went on with no bubbles or other problems (I immediately took it off though, just not for me).

But for $3.00 it's a hell of a deal - if you're on Amazon that is.

Hi dears :)

I am publishing that also on XDA but I found a trick to see video and images in full screen (by using both).

At first, look at here for a comparison with the Axon M (as you can see border is soo wide for our LG):

You can basically proceed in 2 ways... using the built-in Chrome as media player.

-) Setting up an HTTP Server and then pointing our browser to the local IP and related port (I used SimpleHTTPServer)

-) Browse directly the local resource by using the address file:///SDCARD in the bar of addresses.

I did also a video about here... https://youtu.be/6_G6PHyjzys

It is really smooth with of course all the cons of the big blank band of the device.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Snardek44:
Hi,

I'm currently looking for a budget smartphone and it looks like Poco F1 fits my needs and bill. I'm after a smartphone which can be easily unlocked and fully working LineageOS flashed onto. I had OnePlus 3 before and the whole process was smooth as butter. It also looks like Poco F1 have a lot of custom roms which is nice.

How difficult is to unlock it and flash a custom rom onto ?

Also, are there any revisions of this smartphone which can't be unlocked ?

Thanks :good:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] part 1994:
Its pretty easy in my experience.

Unlocking - Register for unlocking on Xiaomi website-> wait 7-15 days -> Download Xiaomi Unlock Tool and Unlock

Installing Lineage OS - Flash TWRP, Flash Disable Force Encryption and then Flash Lineage OS

After Unlocking the phone, the whole process of installing lineage OS should take around 0:30 - 1 hour.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Snardek44:
Is the unlock free or do I need to pay for it ?

I just don't understand why we need to register online for the code, it looks like it is some kind of DRM.

Is there any simillar device that you could recommend ? I haven't bought it yet so I'm still taking everything for consideration. I was initially going for Moto G7 but from what I heard is that unlocking this smartphone can be a lot of pain.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
all Xiomi devices UNLOCKING is FREE but yes takes some time / patience as they approve your account to have unlocking rights!

but with pocof1 even if you have granted unlocking access on your mi account, you will have to wais for 72 hours (some says 1 week) before you can actually unlock... but if you have any other device in future, you can simply unlock it using you same mi account!

now the budget part!

i think you should consider Realme 5 pro also!

its also easy to unlock and has lineageOS

https://xdaforums.com/realme-5-pro/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3985571

PROS of realme 5pro on Pocof1

2gb more ram in high end variant 8gb/128gb internal

splash resistant / little bigger battery,

support fastcharging

better camera(s)

bigger screen

smaller notch

DEDICATED CARD SLOT

one year newer than pocof1

CONS of realme 5pro on poco

- its on SD710 with NO liquid cooling / poco is on sd845 with liquid cooling

- corning gorilla 3 ,,, where poco is on 5

- as of now, fewer support on xda for realme 5pro / poco f1 has alot of development done (but this can change over time)

- screen protector book cover may be hard to find for realme 5pro / Poco fits in many huwaie/honor covers since design is similar, i cut honor7x cover little bit for camera and its working ! also iphone X screen protector fit 99.8% accurate on pocof1 :)

now you decide <3

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] part 1994:
Regarding registration, its Xiaomi's policy and I don't think it has anything to do with DRM. Create registration using a throwaway email and delete the account once unlock is done.

Regarding your consideration of other phones, I will say that support and ease of modding a Poco is one of the best in its price range. If you want a phone with better modding experience than Poco, you will be paying a lot more.

[Motorola One Zoom (aka Pro) Questions & Answers] Afifus:
I received this device yesterday and overall I like the phone, however I noticed that the display doesn't look quite right. The only way I can describe it is like a really noisy photo, or when you wipe greasy fingers on your phone's screen and you get that rainbow-ey effect. It's really noticeable on white backgrounds, but you can kinda ignore it when it's black or there's lots of colours. I've also noticed that when the display is dimmed, dark colours that aren't completely black get a sort of reddish tint to them. I'm not sure whether it's an issue with my device or whether it's just the panel Motorola is using for this device, but I don't really want to go through the pain of getting a replacement just to get a device that is exactly the same.

Please help me find & download a working launcher w/ Split Screen support (Must Have for Me!) for PX6 10.25 Inch MTCE unit w/ Native 1200 x480 screen resolution.... Dont care if it is Android OS v8 or v9 . Just need to have a working Split screen and everything not looking weird on a screen.
[MTCD Software Development] stebbo69:
I've just bought this unit myself and am extremely disappointed it doesn't have split screen - as that's the whole point of a 8:3 1280x480 wide screen - two 4:3 screens so you can have navigation and another app like Spotify next to each other. The whole reason I bought it despite being happy with my 4 year old Joying unit. I've wasted $450.

After seeing a video of this same wide unit running split screen fine on Android 8, I never contemplated split screen wouldn't work on Android 9. It does on my Android 9 smartphone.

Android of course scales the UI maintaining aspect ratio up to the width so all apps have massive UIs taking most of the screen real estate. I see roads in Google Maps like I'm looking through a mailbox opening - pointless - in nav you want to see what's ahead vertically, not to the sides. I couldn't even get past the login on a website to proceed on the first website I visited.

I emailed them for a Android 8 ROM and Abby said:

"We are sorry to tell you that our android 9.0 head unit doesn't support the split screen function.

And it is preset by the factory,you could not downgrade or upgrade it to other android version."

This doesn't sound right - never had issues at all changing ROMs on my Joying unit - despite being 'factory preset'.

It's the resolution support that scares me from the Malaysk ROM - initially 1024x600, then support for 1280x720 added a few weeks ago.

I have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee and I've never been as unsatisfied with a product as much as this, however T&C of that say things like it can't have been installed. So I guess users have 30 days to decide whether they are satisfied with the box it came in. Plus I'm not prepared to pay return postage, as it already cost $53 for delivery despite ordering from their local (Australian) website.

I'll speak to Xtrons.

I'll look at non-stock ROMs when I get nowhere with Xtrons, such as:

a) Investigating whether I'll have success with the MTCD PX5 Android 8 ROM on their previous model which did split screen ok.

b) See if there's a way of modifying Malaysk for 1280x480, but from memory he doesn't make his repo public.

[MTCD Software Development] stebbo69:
Some progress made:

I found an app on the Play Store called "Split Screen" which gives Android 9 users a better experience when split screening - and it works well on the xtrons unit.

It's as though xtrons or HT or whoever does their Android just simply didn't implement the UI to do the split screening.

UI elements will still appear huge. But I might root soon and see if a combination of DPI and text size might correct.

I did try to up the min display width in developer settings, but xtrons disabled the multiple tap thing on the version # to enable developer mode.
[MTCD Software Development] Arjen_Poot:
Hi, I just got confirmation on the Malaysk ROM thread that the latest full version should be compatible with a 1280x480 unit.
