[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Once again 'global' ROM causes confusion.

Depending on how you look at it, there is either 1 global ROM or 4 global ROMs.

For any ROM that is not Chinese, you will notice that it is referred to as global MIUI in the about phone settings page.

However there are 4 different ROMs that are labelled this way.

Indian

European

Russian

Global

The Indian phone does not have NFC hardware, therefore NFC is disabled in the Indian ROM. You have an Indian ROM installed on your phone.

The European, Russian and Global ROMs all come with the Google dialer app, which does not allow call recording.

If you want non-Chinese MIUI, with working NFC and the MIUI dialer app that allows call recording, then I believe your only option is the xiaomi.eu ROM.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] jhs39:
Prior to the Android 10 update on the MI 9T Pro the Global ROMs on every Xiaomi phone I have ever owned had the Xiaomi Dialer and Messaging apps--Xiaomi put out a press release less than two weeks ago confirming the switch to the Google Dialer and Messaging apps on the Global ROMs.

I'm not sure why the OP would be running an official Xiaomi ROM that doesn't correspond to the hardware on his phone.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
We're not talking about previous phones, we're talking about the Mi 9T Pro, which has the Google dialer and messaging apps, and has had them since its release.

Only the K20 Pro (both regions) came with the Xiaomi dialer and messaging apps.

All we know is that the OP has a K20 Pro. They may have the Indian version, in which case they have the correct MIUI ROM. Otherwise, they obviously don't want to live with the Chinese MIUI ROM.

[MENTION=7911954]Robbo.5000[/MENTION] thank you for your answer and the info. Now it is much more clear.

Since I'm newbie can you share a link or direct me from where I can download the xiaomi.eu ROM?

Tnx for your help
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] fernoct:
Head to www.xiaomi.eu site and from the menu bar on left. You have two options. 1.Stable roms are not updated very frequently and are with lesser to zero bugs. 2. Weekly developer roms if you want to experience new features early but may have bugs.

Before flashing a .eu rom you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. You will find all the related info and procedures in XDA development threads.

[MENTION=4595432]fernoct[/MENTION] much appreciated your help and the answer
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] chaoscreater:
I have a K20 Pro Premium Edition. Currently, there is only the China ROM available for the Premium Edition.

I was able to flash the K20 Pro Global ROM on it, then I discovered it doesn't have call recording (which I need). So then I flashed the K20 Pro Indian ROM on it and it has call recording, but missing Dual GPS and NFC. The mobile signal strength seems to be weaker as well, compared to when I was on the K20 Pro Premium Edition China ROM.

I know there are recording apps out there, but I prefer to run the native call recording if possible. The main problem for me is the signal strength on the Indian ROM. It sucks and I'm wondering if flashing a different region firmware will fix this? Can someone confirm?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] BmXandXxX:
I've been following the guide at the lineage website for building for the herolte

Unfortunately when I get to the part about proprietary blobs I run into a little bit of an issue

Inside of the device/samsung folder their are two folders

One is hero-common and the other herolte

It says go into the herolte folder to run the extract-files.sh stript to pull the blobs from my device.

The problem I'm running into is that their is no such script but only in the hero-common folder.

When I run that it grabs 99% of the files it looks like but still not able to grab them all.

My question is how on earth does all of this work and is their anyone that would spend some time helping a curious guy out?

I come from a solid background in Java programming and know my way around a linux box enough to say so.

Here's my error:

Starting build with ninja

ninja: Entering directory `.'

ninja: error: 'vendor/samsung/hero-common/proprietary/sbin/cbd', needed by '/home/cody/android/lineage/out/target/product/herolte/root/sbin/cbd', missing and no known rule to make it

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joel_a:
I have a Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet that is stuck in a boot loop. When I turn it on, I get the "Powered by Android" screen and then the screen goes blank but lit, and never gets to the next stage. I tried entering Factory Mode and cleared the eMMC, but after doing that I can't even get back into Factory Mode. (I spoke to a Verizon rep and he said clearing the eMMC likely cleared too much, and it now lacks the proper kernels to start up.)

I believe this whole fiasco may have started when I used the wrong charger after having not turned on the tablet for months. I stupidly ignored the warning, and the problems started soon after (although it worked perfectly normally for about a day first). I now have the correct charger and have fully charged the device overnight, but nothing's changed.

I think the only hope at this point is to reinstall the OS (the Verizon guy said "flash" it, but I'm not 100% sure what this involves). Can anyone help me do this, simply and safely? I'd like the original OS if possible, but otherwise I'm open to open-source alternatives. Thanks!

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] satani:
well, i know, it's asked for some times by now, but as i see, here is i 6.1-rom for the MPx200-series smartpone, i wonder, if this rom *would* also fit on my VOQ Professional SP. (currently using WM2003SE)

Smartphones which have "nearly" the same hardware-specs as the voq.

Qtek 8010/Orange SPV C500

Motorola MPx200

T-Mobile SDA/HTC Feeler/QTEK 8020

all phones have 200 mhz, 32 mb ram, at least 32 mb ROM (the voq has 48mb!) 176*220-Screen and an sd-card-expansion-slot.

the only difference is : all above mentionned phones include a digital camera (which the voq does not have) and the voq instead included a full extra-keyboard (see : http://www.ppcps.de/pda/pocket/test/vergleich/Voq-Professional-A10.html) the only 176*220-phone having full numpad and extra full keyboard included was the VDA V, but this device has 128 MB ROM, which is surely more than the 48 of the VOQ. Are there any roms for the voq directly?, is it possible to Backup the existing rom to card (and reflash it on may.be accident?) (i'm courious trying the MPx200-ROM, but i'm afraid the upgrade would fail, as all above mentionned Smartphones have a TI Omap-CPU and the voq has an Intel PXA 262-CPU @ 200 Mhz.

Is it possible to Backup my existing rom, try to flash another ROM, and in case of errors simply re-flash my backup-rom?

MCU Version: MTCE_HXD_v3.30a_2 , from Aug 8 2019 10:51:10

Aliexpress item ID: 32812618751

Hi Guys,

I've recently bought and installed the above mentioned head unit in my car, all singing all dancing with DSP, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM Storage, and been fairly happy with it: It's snappy, fairly well built, the sound quality is OK...so far I've installed the external mic on the overhead console and the rear parking camera which is working great with FCAM.

Now, I'm looking into installing the front parking camera (not DVR, or AUX Video IN...the proper FCAM CVBS input mentioned on the fairly well known MTCD PDF Diagram). I've read on the forum that some MTCD units shipped with a missing connector, and that a quick soldering job to the connector pins within the main board would do the trick... Back in 2017, [MENTION=6964181]hugovw1976[/MENTION] was forced to do a hack job of soldering pin 3 of the FMS6502 chip, plus adding the required condenser to tap into the said input.

We're in 2019 and my unit seems to be quite polished (not the installation or user manuals though) with no missing connectors and quite a lot of undocumented (and unused!) pins in the back panel. I've tried to get the complete pinout from the seller to no avail...conversations on Aliexpress have been frustrating at best, and infuriating at worst. I'm now resorting to the wealth of knowledge amassed on this forum, looking for a kind soul who might be familiar with this particular head unit backpanel pinout to help me out? Here are a few pics:

Back Panel:

Included Wiring Diagram (sucky), upon close inspection you'll notice that there is only reference to the back camera (top left, 4 pin sub-connector, with only the left-most 2 pins being used...tried using the remaining two which didnt work), also, the bottom right 8 pin connector is completely undocumented on this diagram, I tried every vertical pin pair with the camera but F-CAM didn't pick it up as the front camera...):

Main Board:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
As a suggestion, try validating connections from MTCD schematic, forum thread found in my signature. It may not be perfect, in terms of component numbering, but good enough for someone with medium level electronic skills.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mgomespt:
Thank you, I know about the diagram, and see that others have tapped into pin 3 (IN2, FCAM-CVBS), but I was avoiding having to solder on those tiny legs....the MCU in particular seems quite hard as to not short anything...I'm hoping that my unit has the FCAM-CVBS input circuit already in place towards the back panel pins :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
The idea is to trace back, to validate the pins or identify what is needed to implement front video function, incase the pins might be correct for front video, but manufacturer has omitted components.

Hello guys.

As you may know, there is a way to uninstall system apps whithout root, as described here. Is a 'generic' guide, so I'll not enter on details on it. I used this guide, and sucessfully debloated my Note 8.

Here is my list:

android.autoinstalls.config.Xiaomi.ginkgo

com.xiaomi.scanner

Some advices: DO NOT uninstall cloud services if you want to use "Find My Phone". Also, DO NOT uninstall an app if you are unsure about it.

If you want a really clean device, I recommend to turn off your phone, take out the SIM card, turn on again and restore to factory defaults. Then, do the initial setup WITHOUT connecting to any network. By this way, you'll avoid any unwanted app to get updated automatically, PLUS avoinding initial installation of some apps like Facebook and Netflix (by uninstalling android.autoinstalls.config.Xiaomi.ginkgo). I'm using my phone for a week, without problems.

TIP 01: if you want to get the entire list, open an adb prompt on your computer, as described on list bellow, and use the following command:

adb shell pm list packages > list.txt

. Then, open the file list.txt on notepad.

TIP 02: MIUI isn't good to work with a Google App profile. But, if you need to use it, you need to uninstall the apps for this profile also. Setup you profile, and just after disconnect from any network. Then, go to adb command prompt and type

adb shell pm list users

. Press ENTER and you will get a list of 'users' on your phone, like:

Users:
UserInfo{0:Proprietário:13} running
UserInfo{12:security space:13} running

The first number is what you need. Just change the '0' (zero) on the commands for uninstall for the number you get (in case above, 12). A NOTE: for me is 12 because I'm using built-in Second Space feature to handle my work profile (and I recommend you to do the same), so the number for you maybe will be different.

See ya!

[Redmi Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
It's an essential part of Miui system to work, you will get bootloop if you remove it completely (device won't boot).

Anyway this method doesn't remove any app completely so you would need root to achieve it, just the data user is wiped in a way that you no longer can't interact with the app. But with Miui Security Center you will have forced close for some apps and you won't access to some functions in settings.
