[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffwdixon:
Thank you smvsmv.

I do love launchers and have used nova launcher for many years. My issue with any launcher is it feels like they utilize additional resources? Or does installing a new launcher completely shut down the original stock rom launcher?

I just now tried nova launcher and lawnchair 2. Both of them did not resolve the issue on the latest stock rom V1.2_20200328.

Regarding Bison think I'm done with Umidigi. The software issues and I have to say quality of the camera pictures have turned me off this budget phone.

Disable the Google Assistant

I'm using the stock ROM V1.1. By just disabling the Assistant on this phone no more audio issues. It must be disabled from your Google account. I didn't tried the V1.2 because of the audio distortion reported, and in fact it looks unnecessary to improve the 1.1 for standard users like me.

I followed smvsmv instructions on page 1 to try and install the android 11 beta without any luck. Did you do something different I can try?

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

PART TWO:

So I am trying very hard to correct the audio issues plaguing the Power 3 without any luck.

I have tried flashing almost every version of the STOCK ROMS and many GSI ROMS.

Now I cant say anything for certain but this is what I can report:

Different versions of the STOCK ROM contain different kinds of audio issues.

Early STOCK ROMS have NO audio at times.

Later STOCK ROMS have heavily distorted audio.

The audio issues would usually occur after rebooting the device.

After perfectly following the guide provided in this thread the audio issues would continue to affect the custom ROMS.

The audio issue affecting the custom ROM would mimic the issues plaguing the STOCK ROM. For example if you had an early STOCK ROM with the no audio issue and proceeded to flash a custom ROM over it you will have the no audio issue on the flashed custom ROM.

From what i can make out a version of Google Assistant comes preinstalled on all stock STOCK ROMS.

I can not update the preinstalled Google Assistant.

The play store says Google Assistant is not installed. I only have the option to download and install Google Assistant.

I found that i recieved audio issues the most after installing Google Assistant from the play store over the preinstalled Google Assistant.

Unfortunately my expertice ends here and I was not able to resolve the audio issues outside of the allready known methods.

All the best.[/QUOTE]

yeah audio issues don't go away even when a GSI is flashed. I'll hold off buying anymore Umidigi stuff until their 5g phones hit the market.

GSI Flashing Questions

Afternoon Guys!

Got a couple of questions related to smvsmv original post.

1) PLAYSTORE: I am flashing roms all the time now (THANK YOU) and wonder if there is a way to install google play store for those vanilla GSI roms? For example bless-v221-200725-arm64-bvN.img does not have a variant that includes GAPPS.

2) BOOTLOOP: Usually the flashing process goes smooth as butter! However I have encounter a bootloop on several roms. Is there a solution for this? I have tried going back and performing a factory wipe with no luck. For example this rom encounters a bootloop: AncientOS-CIVILIZATION-v3.8-arm64-ab-gapps-072020.img

3) VBMETA: A few GSI ROMS provide a vbmeta.img file. At which stage of this threads OP instructions do i flash this file? I asume this would replace step: 9. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (from stock ROM)

4) PERMISSIVER: I would love to try flashing [Q][GSI][A/AB][arm64] Android Q Developer Preview but am unable to get it working. It does say: Flash permissiver_v2.zip or make your boot partition selinux permissive.

Does anyone know how this can be incorperated into smvsmv's instructions?

Hopefully these questions can help others withsimilar questions.

All the best guys.

UMIDIGI F2 - GSI Treble

Hi Guys, just letting You know that I've been able to use your procedure here to successfully get HAVOC OS 3.7 working great on my F2.

Thanks for the guidelines, install was smooth. I haven't tried magisk or TWRP yet, so Google Pay gets upset and won't run. and no VOLTE (which I expected).

But is a great OS. Lots of tweaks available. Going to try Phh-Treble now.

Cheers,

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] varunkp:
Looks like you've disabled encryption. Perform a clean flash again and it will encrypt the data partition and then you can use the desired screen lock.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] resst:
Yeah... You're right. I'm disabled encrypt because I want recovery to access my internal storage.

So there's no other way to activate screen lock without encrypt the phone now?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] tufoz:
how can i solve that on recovery it ask me a password for decrypt data?

what about the battery?

1h 49min of screen and i'm on 61%. A bit bad.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] varunkp:
You shouldn't do that. It's a device specific "bug" that you can't use screen lock unless your phone is encrypted. And the best recovery to use is Orangefox as it handles decryption pretty well. If you want encryption to work with recovery accessing your internal storage, you must format data while changing ROMs. This will decrypt data partition once, and when you boot up the ROM, you storage gets encrypted again. But this encryption is fully supported by Orangefox. If you were using Evolution X before coming to this Evolution X 4.0, you can just skip the format data step. The complete guide on how to flash ROMs is mentioned in the Orangefox documentation page.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Which ROM were you using earlier? If you came from another ROM, you should've formatted the data partition.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Walden0:
Make sure that you are using latest orange fox recovery.

Do not wipe partitions after formatting data, not needed to reflash rom again. Just wipe , flash, reboot, let the rom encrypt , format , reboot again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
Formatting removes the existing encryption, so that the ROM can encrypt again in its own way when next you boot it. After that, there shouldn't be any problem at all. Of course if you enabled "Secure Startup" when setting a pasword/PIN/FP in the ROM, then you will always be asked for a password.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] tufoz:
yes i noticed that after the setup of the rom the data encryption come back.. how to solve? i didn't ticked secure startup..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
You should not prevent data encryption. This device requires encryption in order for things to function properly. Without seeing the logs, I cannot speculate as to what is your exact problem, but you seem to be the only person having that problem.

hello,

I come from the unofficial Lineagos ROM.

I don't understand why in the instructions you have to flash TWRP after the BUILD ?

What are the proper steps ?

For me it's

1. backup needed partitions.

2. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik.

3. Format Data (?)

4. Reboot to recovery.

5. install the ROM.

Is it the correct procedure ?

has any one managed to get wifi calling with T-mobile working? I've enabled wifi calling in settings but I'm not able to send or receive anything. supposedly the redmi note 7 supports all their bands according to GSM arena and the signal is really spotty to the point I only get service in major city areas. I know coverage may be bad in my area but the way the device behaves suggests some settings optimization is needed. but I have no idea what files need tweaking much less what values to change.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] finshan:
I know there are "dimming" apps that just apply a filter over the screen. These distort the natural colors of the display and makes things appear washed out.

So I'm looking for a way to reduce the real brightness of the display below the factory default, like the iPhone's "reduce white point" or OnePlus' "night mode".

Has anyone looked into this and found a developer option or a magisk mod or an ADB command or a custom kernel setting that I can toggle to do this?

ElementalX Kernel Manager has an option called "backlight dimmer" that's supposed to do this, but it doesn't seem to work on the Pixel 4. In EXKM K-Lapse settings there is a Dimming slider, but it appears to just be applying a filter. Below that slider are some settings "Pulse Frequency" and "Flow Frequency", but they don't seem to have any effect and I haven't been able to find out what they actually do.

Does anyone know of a (inexpensive) method of boosting the cellular reception in a fixed structure? I live in an area where the cell signal is rather weak, and fades in and out depending on where I happen to be in my house, yet is pretty good on my deck. Fine by me... except when it rains.

I was hoping there might be a device that would either boost the normal cell signal, or perhaps overcome the building materials to give me better signal inside the house. It would need to be wireless, rather than connected physically to the phone, though.

Would something like this work? CLICKY Couldn't one of those old-fashioned 'passive' mobile antennas work?

I have no idea if these things really work, and if they're worth the price.

Re: Cell Reception

The signal reception,sound quality, GPS etc..is related to the Radio ROM on your phone. You could try playing around with a couple of different radios and see which one works better for you.

Here's a thread that helps you determine which radio is the best for you..ummm yeah ...its called the ultimate radio thread :)

I think this is the best (inexpensive) method that boosts reception IMHO..;)

Yes, I understand, but a lack of signal is something that won't be significantly helped by any differences in flashed radios.

I'm presently on 1.65.16.25 and have been experiencing the same signal issues that I've had on every other cellphone I've owned, so I have to believe it's a signal issue more so than a radio issue. It's got to be a combination of location/terrain/building materials that are the problem. That's why I was asking about boosters or passive antennas - you know - something like this:

[Shield Tablet General] crazyjc81:
Wow thank you for this guide drowd !

Followed this guide to the T.

Except Step 8). Damn, getting past that "Gamecast has stopped" message took a lot of patience. My device wouldn't detect since "USB Debugging" wasn't turned on. Took a ton of super fast triple taps to enable developer options, then go in there, turn on usb debugging and then "Allow this device" to connect. Man... phew. Finally got my laptop to detect the device, and your command did the trick after.

In recovery mode, it complained that the "pm" command was not found. How did you get this working without turning on USB Debugging ?

Anyway, I thought I was part of that Venn Diagram that you mention, but, I just realized that I had cancelled my Stadia Pro, and I have no other games on there, so..... I have no idea if this worked, but just wanted to say, THANKS ! :D
[Shield Tablet General] drowd:
Oh, hmmm, now that I think about it, it's possible I forgot to include that as one of the steps, I think because I had already enabled USB debugging in an earlier step, but I should probably modify the guide to say this!

And you are right! Those triple taps required in Step 8 were awful, took quite a bit of patience on my end as well.

I think the easier method (and the route I took on my Shield TV) is to install the custom APK, and run stadia in desktop mode. This still feels very clunky to me compared to the Stadia app, but it works just fine. Hopefully they continue to open up support though.

Also, your Stadia Pro sub might not be current, but they are giving 2 months of Pro away for free, as well as opening up the free tier as well! So check that out, if you haven't already.

-Changed brightness & volume sliders.

-Google sans font

-Darker text in some areas & and some system dialogue box backgrounds.
