In 2020 What Android version/ROM is the best for daily driver?

I see there is LineageOS version 16 based on Android 9(pie)

Would phone run well under it? Or should I settle on 15(A8 Oreo)?

This is my daily driver. so stability and speed are priorities.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 General] mixyzptlik:
Right now I'm using LOS 16. Of all the roms i've ever tried, this one has the best battery life and good performance. Use tunned kernel if you want better results.

That last Oreo Mokee build works fine too, if you want battery and performance. Android Q roms have good performance, but I notice some faster battery drain. Until it's fixed, I recommend you to go for Oreo or Pie :D

Thank you

Thank you.

Unfortunately I have learned ATT phone can not be upgraded :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] ehuang3190:
Personally, Lineage OS 16 had horrible standby battery life for me, HavocOS was better in that aspect. However, Lineage is faster, and I still use it because of the security updates.

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is any applications (free) that monitors EDGE / GPRS usage, and hopefully logs them aswell.

Had a tiny application "minimoni" for my blackberry and it really was great to know how much you actually used.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CarpeNoctum:
Try Spb GPRS Monitor. It does exactly what you need. Monitors traffic, logs it and works perfectly with EDGE.

Make sure you download the latest version and also that it mentions "Spb" as well because simple GPRS Monitor (another application) doesn't seem to work properly on the Diamond (it loses all recorded data after soft reset).

Hi!

I'm new here and doing some research on flahing pixel experience rom on redmi 4 santoni running on miui 11 based on android nougat.

I've read and watched videos through several guides. I am not sure about flashing lazy flasher.

Now, I know that it disable dm Verity while flashing new custom ROM in Redmi 4 santoni.

Is it necessary to flash lazy flasher along with TWRP image while trying to install the custom ROM after successfully rebooting TWRP recovery without starting miui 11?

Thanks, in advance!
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] zkoz:
I've flash a lot of custom roms, never flash lazy flasher. So I think you don't need it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] JasGen:
When I read TWRP installation procedure for my Redmi 4X device in the official website twrp.me they warned me, "This device uses dm-verity!

This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab".

Videos tutorial for Redmi 4X are also suggesting for and flashing lazy flasher in order to avoid bootloop in this device.

Also, does this lazy flasher permenantly disable DM Verity of a device? Is it safe to use?

I just don't want to root my device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] zkoz:
Try without lazy flasher. Its hard to brick this device. Only unlock bootloader and do the rest things to flash custom rom.

When it comes to twrp use orangefox :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] JasGen:
Do you mean to use orangefox instead of TWRP?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] zkoz:
Yes! Yes! Yes!

Hey, man thanks I have successfully installed pixel experience 10 on my device. Thanks for your help.

Hi. there's no need to flash lazy flasher over custom ROM. It is needed only in the case you want to use TWRP + stock MIUI :)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Alif1:
Hi everybody!

Almost a month ago, When I'm trying to compose any USSD code to check the communication credit for example, loading is very slow and difficult to work. Also, incoming calls aren't work perfectly, my correspondent has to try again and again before I can receive the call. In my experience, these problems arise when my internet settings are on 4G/3G/2G Auto. But when i change settings to ''2G Only'', all works now perfectly, all problems disappear. I have called carreer to explain this problem, and they reassured me that the problem does not come from them.

I've already tried to restart the phone, put the airplane mode, restore the network settings, wipe cache partition, and even restore the factory reset, nothing at all changes, the same problems persists.

Has anyone among you also encountered this problem? Is it from hardware? If not, what can I do to solve this from software?

For a few references, I'm using a Huawei p20 (EML-L29), running Android pie (9.1.0) with patch security of the 1st Jan 2020.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] pannatone:
Hi guys,

First post, so please let me off if I haven't followed protocol properly. I have been looking at all the other threads and posts and I have come to the conclusion that this is possible, but I need some guidance:

Bought the watch second hand. Samsung Pay isn't available. Samsung Tech help believe the watch isn't from the UK. I also believe this to be true, as when it is reset, the first language to appear is German, before it syncs with the phone and changes to English.

So I would like to change the region from Germany to England to get Samsung Pay enabled.

I have downloaded NetOdin3

I am capable of connecting to the watch in boot mode through wireless.

I have downloaded the combination firmware and stock firmware from https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-mactive-2-gwa2-t3968437 where adfree posted the links.

This is where I am stuck. I am unsure if these are the right files for the UK, because that thread was to change it from Germany to "ser"

From what I've read I need to change some text in the combination firmware, but how do I do this, in NetOdin3? or some other program.

Secondly what do I need to change it from and to? I understand its to get the region from Germany to UK, but what is the region code for the UK?

I appreciate I am a total beginner and have probably just asked some real basic questions, however after reading the thread about the guy who flashed his 820 with 830 firmware and bricked it, I'm a little more worried about getting something wrong.

Cheers in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mithos11:
You have to change from DBT to BTU..BTU is UK CSC.

Android 8.0.0

security patch Dec 1, 2019

I've just performed a factory reset and then used Package Disabler Pro to disable alot of the bloatware that Samsung & Verizon send along. However, somewhere along the way I've disabled something that is causing the phone dialer app to not show. It doesn't show on my launcher, in the app tray nor on the app list in settings.

Further, if I open the contacts app and select someone I CAN call someone. I can also use Google Assistant to call someone.

So, the app is on the phone and it is working - it just isn't showing.

Anyone have any ideas?

***

Just a bit more. I exported my disabled list then enabled everything. The phone icon came back and works. I then redisabled my list and the icon stayed but I get a error message saying "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or are not installed"

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mayflyaway:
Hi there.

Thought I was buying something comparable to kindle fire but without all the amazon ads built in but now it seems I was buying a piece of trash. My nook 10.1 has simply gotten slower... and slower... and slooowwwer. I did a factory reset but it still takes a good 3-5 seconds for the keyboard to pop up when I enter any kind of typing area (for example).

Is there anything I can do to make this function faster? It’s practically unusuable at this point other than for reading books (and, well, I could’ve spent a lot less than I did if that’s all I wanted to do).

I’m technically inclined but completely new to anything android other than as a user, however, I’m good at following instructions and game to try anything.

Suggestions?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] secretwolf98:
Yea, the stock system is really slow. I recommend using Project Treble. I have instructions here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Barnes-&-Noble-Nook-Tablet-10.1"

Although treble is still slow but it seems to be a bit faster than stock. You will get less battery life this way though.

Hi,

I'm trying to run Haret on my himalaya but can't seem to get connection with my device:

Development environment:

Ubuntu Linux

Minicom [terminal]

Using a SD-Card of 2 gigabyte (partitioned into 2 slices of 512MB and one 1024):

Using Haret-0.5.1.exe

initrd-2.6.12.gz

zImage-2.6.12

And a startupscript:

set KERNEL "zImage-2.6.12"
set MTYPE 448
set INITRD "\Storage Card\initrd-2.6.12.gz"
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=14336 keepinitrd"
bootlinux

I installed SYNCE but not started the services trayicon and synce-serial

Now if I monitor the device it will connect to ttyUSB0, but as soon as I start Haret it will breakup the connection with minicom.

The device is booted until the sentence Starting portmap deamon: portmap after that it seems to hang no login possible.

Can somebody help me.

Many thnx in advance

Grtz

No luck so far.

[Huawei Watch] phynesse:
Ok, I just got the 42mm and am in total disbelief.....

I own the honor band 5 and like it a lot. The one main complaint though was its weak vibration causing me to miss notifications. That was more or less the only reason to buy this watch - no more missed meeting reminders at work, because afterall a fitness band isnt made for notifications, really, but a watch like this surely will nail this...

Now, I just unpacked the GT42mm - on SOFT I cannot feel any vibration (and I mean that), and on HARD it is barely noticable. in fact, it is weaker than the damn Honor Band and leagues away from any cellphone I have ever owned. wtf.....

My question is - anyone else can confirm this normal, or does it sound like my watch is faulty?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] mauk:
I can not say on strong is barely noticeable but I can confirm is soft. I cannot compare it to any of my other smartwatchs that I had in fact and I had Garmin, amazfit, Samsung, Sony, Moto, etc.

It really bugs me too but I am willing to pass over as the watch is a perfect fit for me and my needs.
[Huawei Watch] phynesse:
Thanks... I ve done some more reading and most describe it as quite strong.

I m receiving an exchange tomorrow and will report back.

Thx ,I am curious about that too. I can't exchange mine and would like to know about Huawei if they did a bad batch :))
[Huawei Watch] phynesse:
I got mine on Amazon.de this Saturday 2/29 on sale with Huawei Band 4 for 179. It's sold out today but I called and they sent out replacement. Really hoping it will be much better cuz I love the watch otherwise.
[Huawei Watch] phynesse:
Just to give an update - the replacement GT2 42mm is just as underwhelming in terms of vibration.. its just incredibly weak. I also found a colleague that has the GT2 46mm and it is practically the same, maybe a smidge stronger if at all.

This is really confusing because there are reviewers who describe it as 'super strong' and 'strong enough so my SO wakes up from vibration alarm'. i m lucky if I wake up from it myself ...

ah well, otherwise very much enjoying the watch and will keep it.

When i did try and flash the recovery i flashed it into the boot_a and boot_b partitions because there were some forums that said "fastboot boot twrp.img" but i thought they said "fastboot flash boot twrp.img". I tried to flash boot and system and all other files in the stock rom to no avail.

I tried flashing that in boot_a and boot_b and still nothing. Also note that there was a text file with the wrong twrp (nokia 3) that said to flash no verity or ssomething like that or the phone wont boot to os so maybe it has to do with that?
