[MENTION=8022648]ka3yal[/MENTION] [MENTION=11127715]plsm13[/MENTION] it seems I was in same situation.

Redmi 7a flashed as advised in this thread resulting in those few bugs :

- USB computer connection options all grey out (way around available in developer options)

- strange phone freeze & reboot when using data calls app such as whatsapp (haven't tried that one), Element/riot, Jitsi.

- com.qualcomm.qcrilmdgtunnel app crashing at phone start

- SELInux permissive bug such as mentioned in the thread

- 4G / 3G behavior a bit strange at first and not optimum but ok.

It seems that I have fixed the 3 first issues by using a different version of the Rom. By following instruction here, I had flashed the rom lineage-17.1-20200302-UNOFFICIAL-pine. Looking for solutions I found out that there is a more recent update of the Rom for the Redmi 7a, this one : lineage-17.1-20200705-UNOFFICIAL-pine

Tried to flash it yesterday and it solved the 3 first issues on the list above. Native Camera app seems better as well. Jitsi app which was able to launch before (not making video call) but at least launching, is no more able to launch but It may be related to the app itself instead of that new rom. Rest seems all good.

I don't know exactly the rules about web links on Xda so I did not put the direct link to download, but you can find easily that rom from july with a quick search on the web.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Yesterday I installed lineage-17.1-20200705-UNOFFICIAL-pine on top of 10.2.5.0 global. No FM Radio, but the rest seems OK.

Hi friends!

I have some problems. I hope you can help me, to hypothesize possible solutions. I installed on a Redmi 7A M1903C3EG, the ROM lineage-17.1-20200705-UNOFFICIAL-pine, with TWRP. I have tried with both pach; Certification Patch, Permissiver_v4, and vbmeta.img, recovery.img, boot.img. Or just flashing the ROM and nothing else. Nothing, it reboots every time in TWRP, and doesn't go into the system. No error message is displayed, neither in TWRP nor in ADB.

I don't know what to do! Previously I tried the lineage-17.1-20200302-UNOFFICIAL-pine.zipper, and everything worked perfectly (only the audio did not work) by switching to the new 20200705, it does not start in the system anymore. What can I do? I followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-redmi-7a-twrp-root-with-magisk-custom-rom-gsi-pie.4027441/.

[Redmi 7A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] :
Hello, I have a question. After installing this custom ROM for several times following all tutorials given here (I did not install gapps tho), I have encountered several problems:

1. SELinux is permissive. I did install that app that returns it to enforced after every restart, but I would like to know about some more permanent solution.

2. Even if I do put the app to be "not optimized" regarding battery usage, some of my notifications are still being shown after 30 minutes or so.

3. When I run several apps at one time, all of them suddenly close and I have to reopen them all. It disconnects me from calls and causes many other problems.

If anyone knows how I can fix these problems, please help.

Thankful in advance.

Got magisk to work now though!

I erased all data, flashed back to the 06/05/2020 version ,whatsapp calls and magisk works in this version. =D

Now if I can figure out how to save some battery life on this rom. The 03/03/2020 version gave me 3 days of phone use with one charge,with this current version I get less than a day! =p

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] arcnet:
I am running WM6.11 - explode I think with the HTC extended rom apps. However I notice that under WM2003 there is a slider to change the allocation of RAM between storage and programs - I dont have this facility on my IIs and run out of storage RAM on the phone despite having plenty of free RAM for programs. It seems that even if I install the application on the card, RAM is still eaten up out of the phone storage - I guess thats the OS system.

However, If it can be done in 2003 then surely WM6.11 can do it - but I need help to re-allocate RAM between storage and programs.

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
it is inpossible in WM5\6\6.1 :) your information is wrong
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] gcopher:
storage ram/program ram

I had the same problem, when I converged my EXTrom. I had 93mb in programs and only 64mb in storage. It takes much more storage than program ram, XPLODE, my question is was there a possibility that I/we could have changed this BEFORE we converged?

Also, I and a few others are having a problem with your 6.11 sound disappearing after "X" amount of uses with it (see some replies the past few days)

Don't get me wrong, YOUR 6.11 upgrade is FANTASTIC, I just lost sound and the capability to answer my phone as well as NO SOUND!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tatissse:
The same problem here!!

I was also wondering if there is any trick to increase the storage capacity from the programs RAM:confused:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
FYI: In WM5/6 Storage and RAM have nothing common. Storage is a part of flash memory, that is not used for ROM, and RAM is fully used as normal, regular RAM. Thanks to this when you take the battery out, you never loose data and settings like in case of PPC2003 and older.

That's why there is no storage-RAM slider in WM5/6.

In case of BA, after switching to WM5/6 you have 128MB RAM and that's all. Cannot be less, cannot be more.

Talking about capacity - if you went through correct procedure, you should have repartioned flash memory giving back some space that was reserved for ExtendedROM. All the info you can find in the Wiki.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] arcnet:
Thanks for the info - maybe I have not repartitioned my RAM then, I just put it in bootloader mode and flashed it!

I appreciate your impatience with people new to this and this is probably why many senior members just say 'its in the wiki' with the unspoken bit implying find it yourself. However the wiki is not an easy document to find what you want and I know I'm not alone there.

Still, I wil revisit the wiki and see if i can find info on this topic that I have previously missed. Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] gcopher:
partioning the MEM

I followed the wiki to the letter, however, it did not say anything about giving back to the EXTrom. I just went by the procedure and I have 93 mg to storage and 64 to program. no Extrom, and flashed to xplode's 6.11 along with other programs. I do not have to worry with loosing my programs any longer however, the program space is what the problem is. there isn't enough room for most of what I like on my BA. LOTS of space in the Storage. One would think that it should have been one big storage space for both just like a regular PC.

I have had my BA for 2 years and never need to ask any questions I just followed the WIKI. Now I have these questions.

Now that I did load 6.11, now I have no sound after a few days of use. It just disappeared. I can't hear from it and no one can hear me. the phone will dial and it responds to calls but, no sound.

I Would appreciate it of the seniors would not make people like us FEEL stupid, when we ask a make sense question. I have searched the WIKI and through the forums and I get no answer thru these means , therefore, I must ask the question, when I feel it is necessary.

Thank you for your rationality.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] cgone:
gcopher, have you ever try to hard reset your BA after that sound problem appeared?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] gcopher:
Sound problem after 6.11

Yes I have, I am an A+ certified hardware and network geek and I know enough about programming to be dangerous, I have successfully used this site for the past 2 years up grading my BA with the latest, until now. I decided to upgrade to xplode 6.11, of which I thought wa excellent and still do, I used my BA for several days without a glitch (other than the blue tooth problem with the BA as I think everyone else does, that I have to wear in my shirt pocket when I am talking) The only thing I did was install 6.1 word and excel, when I reset (soft), then the problem occurred, since I have hard reset and even re-installed WM6 to try and shell it. No fix. I am looking in the forum archives for a sound fix, if any. Thank you for asking though.

Here this last few days is the first time I have actually posted something here in the forum, other than posting about having the same problem with the bluetooth problem everyone has, the BA has a VERY small chip for blue tooth. I have several (6) BA for spare parts. I have replaced 2 screens on my own, but I repair cell phones for a hobby. (mostly motorolas) I get the parts fairly cheap. I like to take junk or something that is broken and repair them, I get some self edification from that, kind of weird but I am a musician geek (bass player, and active with a band in the Tulsa, OK area)

Thank you for the suggestion though.

I hope you had a great 4th!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
If sound issue doesn't go off after proper HR (the one with NO YES YES), all you can do is to go back to a tested ROM (even wm5) and check if sound will work again. If your RadioROM is up to date (1.13 or 1.15) it might be just coincidence with hardware failure - speaker/mic or just sth on the mainboard.

And about Wiki:

first step of the wizard after choosing upgrade to WM6 from 2003: Expanding the Storage memory

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0

Anyway, gcopher, your flash seems to be partitioned correctly.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] arcnet:
This thread seems to have developed into two directions but thats OK I have something to say about both.

I have read the wiki - used the unhide, unlock and repartition programs successfuly. Then flashed 6.11 xplode successfully. I then go to the memory option in Settings->System and have EXACTLY the same problem as before - the ram is divided into storage and programs and there is no way that I can see to shift some program ram to the storage or vice versa. Perhaps most users dont run many programs on their BA's but I start running out of storage on the phone when there is still loads of program ram - the fact thet I also have a 4gig SD card doesnt help. I find that even when I install as many apps as I can on the SD card I still run out of storage on the phone.

As for the sound. I too lost my sound AND the camers when I upgraded initially - nothing seemed to work and I was convinced it was a hardware fault. I was so fed up I took the batery out and left it for a few days, long enough for the internal backup battery to also run down. Once powered up again it all worked perfectly and has worked ever since.

Frustrating as hell isnt it when you feel like your the only one with a problem and noone else has ever come across it - even more frustrating when your given simplistic advice in minimal detail :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
I will do a lil explaination, when you delete the partition for extromyou add this space to the phone storage, the only one known way for increasing storage in WM5/6/6.1 is with ramdisk, but it is not working well in WM6/6.1 it is inpossible to make it with slider and allocate memory to ram or storage as in WM2003
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
arcnet: and to finish storage/RAM problem: Like in the PC you cannot just like that exchange Hard Drive space with RAM, same way you cannot just like that exchange storage (that is something like Hard drive space) with RAM (that is like... RAM ;)

And to explain it all: If you run out of disk space you usually don't try to use some of the RAM as the Hard Disk Space. You can just install another hard drive. In case of PDAs and your BA in specific: consider installing all the big applications on the SD card. This should solve your problem completely.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] gcopher:
Tanks Coach!

This is what I am working on now, checking, and going back, being that I have quite a few other BA parts I can go back and replace, however, I will go back and even do the WM2003 if I have to, I have tried many times to hard reset, however, I think I may have caused a problem with that, (I can fix it) but my BA just restores itself. I have placed most of my regular programs on the storage card. It just comes right back up to my background and original settings. I will have to pull the card ans reset it. Either way, I will have to trouble shoot the problem, I have checked out the "soundfix" file no go. The uni-directional file already exists and will not re-install. I will re-install WM5 and see if it comes back on OR start replacing parts.

I had saved the EXTrom on my storage card, as the instructions said.

The program storage has all of the space, and the Storage file has very little, seems it should have been the other way around, this is what the other guy was talking about. If it was possible to go back and re-allocate the two, so storage could have more of the space.

Thank you for your kind response, this is what I love about this site. I feel good about have all of the knowledge and access to programs for this wonderful Device of mine.

Have a pleasant day!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tatissse:
Another problem that I noticed (with my BA anyway) is that even if I choose to install applications in the SD card, the storage space reduces as well:confused:

I don't know if this related to the BA or the ROM (which is sundream's rom) but this is what's happening with my BA. As a result, I run out of storage space very rapidly..

Any clues??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] scousemartin:
Just because you select to install to storage card does not mean that all files are copied there. Some files HAVE to be installed in the windows directory. Try installing memaid or tweak2k net and transfer dlls to the storage card, that will free up some memory , depending on what you have installed
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tatissse:
Thanks for your answer scousemartin :)

I have another question though: how much memory can we get if we aplly the resize stuff with 2003??? What I mean is: is it worth the hastle??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
If you did not repartition flash to get rid of ExtROM you loose 12 (or 16, I can never remember) MB. It's always worth to have more storage memory, that is otherwise totally lost.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] XShell:
If you have a "sound disappearing" problem, try NOT TO CLOSE (by X button, add to ignored) any players when they are playing. Especially Windows Media Player. That solved the problem for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] philipp-h:
Hi there,

I am trying to repair a stock S7 (G930F) which freezes after an OTA-update. About a year ago there was a similar problem, which I solved by flashing an older firmware and telling the owner not to do the update again. Now the update was done again and this time Odin does not let me downgrade due to "KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL".

The freeze appears 10 to 20 seconds after reboot. The phone freezes completely and after 20 seconds it restarts. That's not enough time to complete the initial setup or anything else.

I tried many different stock ROMs, full-wipe by stock-recovery, re-partitioning with Odin, safe mode, all with and without SD-card, SIM-card and cable plugged in.

I can't try custom ROMs or TWRP due to the FRP (force reset protection). To disable this a have to login with the previous Google-account... this is not possible within time before the phone freezes. My last idea would be to search for a method to remove the FRP in the darker pages on the web and then using TWRP and custom ROMs. Or the dangerous NAND-Erase in Odin (I have no EFS-backup)?

Any ideas except buying a new one?

Thanks,

Philipp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Philip, it helps if you let us know what country your in.

Anyway the solution to your problem is pretty straight forward, you just need to flash the latest firmware for your region with Odin. No need to mess about with TWRP at this point.

Official firmware will contain a copy of the stock kernal which will also be installed when you flash with Odin 99% of the time. If for some reason the kernal is not flashed (it happens) and you continue to get the reboot issue then you will need to flash the kernal seperately first with Odin then the firmware afterwards.

The issue with the FRP lock will remain after this but should allow you to unlock with google email and password.

So we're talking, downlaod mode, flash official fimrware and go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] philipp-h:
Hi cooltt,

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I already tried many stock ROMs. I am from Germany, so of course DBT first (G930FDBT7ESL9), then VIA (Telefonica) and VD2 (Vodafone) since they had higher build numbers. Desperately I also tried other versions to get it running somehow (for example the Polish G930FPRT7ETA9). The kernel was successfully installed with all ROMs.

I was very confused, that this does not work. In my understanding this can not be explained. After full wipe/repartition and flashing stock it should be as "stock" as it can be (and everyone should have these problems). Either all these ROMs I tried are broken, some hidden things like EFS are heavily broken or there is a hardware issue with this phone which made absolutely no problems with Nougat but now with Oreo.

Bootloops after OTA (which are dirty) are usual, but this is driving me crazy. I can not believe in a hardware issue since a very similar problem appeared one year ago with Oreo and there were never any issues with Nougat. But if it is a software problem, more users should have this... :eek:
