[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] whitewash:
Hello, I've switched to Hermes (i formerly had a Wizard). I've tried to place the same shutdown shortcut, as in Wizard, into start menu (the shortcut was pointing to \windows\poweroffwarning.exe). However, poweroffwarning.exe is missing in Hermes. I've tried some freeware "shutdown" utilities, but all they do is turning off display, they do not shut down whole device. I've also tried beaming the poweroffwarning.exe via BT from Wizard into Hermes, but it doesn't work as well.

So, my question is: is there any way I can create a "real" shutdown shortcut? Maybe the power off EXE is named otherwise, or perhaps rundll-ing some library? (such as rundll32.exe user32 ExitWindowsEx ...... in PC windows)

I need a little bit of help portingh crDroid 6 to the sm-t350. Nubianprince started then got pulled away by work. I have initalized the crdroid repo, but i when i run repo sync i think it only downloaded like, 300 mb. i do have an android pie enviroment, does repo link resources? i dont know what is going on there. I will upload my roomservice.xml. I had to remove a couple lines from the original and manually clone them because it keeped giving me an error. the original is here https://github.com/Nubianprince/local_manifests/blob/master/crdroid-ten.xml .

Currently i am using this device tree: https://github.com/Nubianprince/android_vendor_samsung_gt58wifi most custom roms i see are using this: https://github.com/Valera1978/android_device_samsung_gtaxlwifi . I have not seen any non sm-5xx devices using it though, so i hesitate to switch. i worked out a a couple errors of things being defined twice, and then built. but i think i am missing something as the build fails with this: FAILED: ninja: 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/root/init.usb.configfs.rc', needed by 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/ramdisk-recovery.cpio', missing and no known rule to make it

Is there a "quick fix" to provide this file? I am not actually sure what i am missing, or what creates it.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] nubianprince:
This file "init.usb.configfs.rc" is missing from your device tree, somewhere in one of your files you have the path pointing to "init.usb.configfs.rc" which does not exist. Let me know if that makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lividhen99:
Yes, it does make sense. I just don't know enough about the android environment to know where the file, or what is pointing to it, would / should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lividhen99:
Okay. I believe there is a missing, or many many missing makefiles. I found the file and manually copied it to out, and then the build fails with another missing file. Rinse and repeat, there are a ton of files not being put where they should be. Now what to do with that information, i am not sure ??. I tried including a couple of the make files from android 9, but they didn't make any difference.

oh yeah, and if i do lunch instead of brunch it fails with a different file missing: FAILED: ninja: 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/system/addon.d/50-lineage.sh', needed by 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/verified_assembled_framework_manifest.xml', missing and no known rule to make it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] nubianprince:
it makes no sense adding files to the "out" folder, fix the issues in your "device" folder check your device.mk file
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lividhen99:
Wow. That was really awful. I don't even know what i was thinking there. What i was trying to say, is that i was manual copying the files to see if it was just one or two not being copied. I have been comparing the Pie and Q makefiles to try to determine what file was supposed to be copying it to out, but i cant find it in Pie, all i know for now is that it is being copied in Pie but not Q. For now I'm gonna' keep looking for the correct file.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] nubianprince:
What device tree are you using, do you have it on Github?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lividhen99:
I am just using the device trees (ten branch) on your GitHub. I haven't made any changes that have gotten me anywhere so i haven't committed my local changes to my GitHub.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] nubianprince:
That crdroid ten branch still need a lot of work, the last build I did when I was working on it was not getting past the logo
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] retiredtab:
I have been away for a while and haven't followed along, but the last week I spent compiling ROMs. I also tried compiling Android 10 using "stock" lineageos gt58wifi and I got stuck at the logo as well. I also tried another device from the msm8916 repository and got stuck at the logo.

The "stock" gt58wifi build, as we all know, has problems with audio, bluetooth, smart cover, etc, etc in all versions 14.1, 15.0, 16.0 and won't even boot with 17.1.

When I first compiled it, it would fail due an error with a config.xml file. I submitted a patch, like others, but haven't seen anything yet.

https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/android_device_samsung_gt58wifi/pulls
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] retiredtab:
I'm working on SM-T560NU 17.1. It too was stuck at the boot logo. I built an eng build and found it was the hardware vibrator that was getting stuck in a loop. If you remove the vibrator hal from

/device/samsung/msm8916-common/manifest.xml

that should work on the SM-T350 because both platforms share the same msm8916 code?

I did build SM-T350 with 17.1 and was stuck at boot logo and gave up. However, I have not rebuilt it knowing this new information. I will try again with the above change in a few days?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lividhen99:
So, as retiredtab has said, he got android 10 booting. But it has all the issues android 9 did: no camera, sound, Bluetooth, or Hal sensor (sort of, it can turn the device on but not off). The system ui is also a little funny on crdroid, not sure about lineage. I don't know how to fix these issues, or where the roots of the problems may lay. Do you have any suggestions for learning more about the android source code? I feel like the aosp docs are good, but you kind of have to know what you're looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] retiredtab:
I think part of the problem with the SM-T350 is that there has never been a fully working build since day 1. Lineageos 14 had problems to begin with and they were never fixed and got carried over to 15, 16 and now 17. If stock Lineageos 16 was fully working, then getting it to work on 17 would be less of a challenge.

The most likely problem to no audio, camera, bluetooth etc is the Samsung proprietary blobs are not in the correct directories or the configuration blob files are pointing to the wrong directory.

When I face this problem, I find it helpful to look at a working roomservice.xml file and do comparisons.

If there is no working roomservice.xml like "stock" lineageos 14, 15, and 16 for the SM-T350, then I look at similar models. For example, the T550 is the bigger brother and it helps to look through it's roomservice.xml file for hints.

Remember that a compiler mainly checks for syntax errors, not semantic. If you make a typo, a compiler will flag that as an error, but if you write correct syntax, but put a file or files in directory ABC instead of XYZ, the compiler won't say anything.

Another thing that might help is doing a logcat of a working build and comparing it to a non working build. There might be a very obvious error message like "can't find audio.hw.msm8916 in directory /device/samsung/msm8916" or something like that.

Learning how to use tools like meld and diff help tremendously in finding file and directory differences in case you put the blobs in the wrong place. See

https://www.tecmint.com/compare-find-difference-between-two-directories-in-linux/

I used meld when troubleshooting the stuck at boot logo.

If you are a visual learner, I found the following youtube channel helping in learning the overall process of building ROMs.

https://www.youtube.com/c/AlaskaLinuxUserAKLU/videos
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lividhen99:
I think we have lineage 16 fully working. I think the part I'm having trouble with here is the difference between where the files are read from in Android Q vs P.

Hi, just as the title says. I'm currently updating my Poco F1 to the latest firmware. Now the phone is stuck on the Pocophone by Xiaomi screen and it has been 1,5 hour since I start the update.

What should I do? my phone is not unlocked

how? with the first option or by factory reset? please help. i am stucked after the update. i can't afford to loose my data. please help.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

sir, i updated my poco f1 today (normal update from settings) but now it is not getting started, stuck on boot scree. for once it came on recovery screen where i selected reboot option, after that reading your reply i tried pressing volume up and power key but nothing happened it is still on the boot screen. please help. and i can't factory reset it. i really need my data. please please help
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] clsA:
how long are you holding the power and vol up ? till the phone shuts off ?

the problem is the Encryption key gets corrupted, if this has happened your data is already gone, factory reset is the only fix for a lost corrupt encryption key
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] vineetasopa:
sir, please don't say that. that is very crucial. but why this happened when this company sent this update? please help. can data recovery company help in this issue?? i beg you , it is really important.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] clsA:
You may get lucky and the update went fine you just need to reboot the phone.

But if it never boots after numerous attempts your only option is a full data wipe to force a new encryption key.

Someone else may know another way, but I don't

Hey guys, I ordered a Mous Clarity case for my S20 Ultra today cause I wanted a clear case with a black border. Since the Spigen Ultra Hybrid I got, the black border is too thick that covers a bit of the back too plus I realized I didn't want a black camera frame too.

Would you mind showing me the case on your phone?

How's the camera protection?

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
I've got it for my regular S20 if you still want some photos?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
That would be great actually. Especially, the side of it and the protection.

Thank you so much!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
Sure, hope these are ok, let me know if you want to see anything else, I'm a bit of a case nerd!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] slyguy0:
Are the sides grippy (tacky) or slippery? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
They're the same sort of texture as the back PC clear section, you get grip due to it being very smooth. Both the back and the sides are sadly fingerprint magnets.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
Thank you so much!! Mine will be here tomorrow.

Has to be one of the best cases around!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
Glad you liked it, hope you enjoy it!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
Just got it on! I really like the feel and the looks are amazing. Much better looking than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Looks more premium too.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
Good times! I just wish there was a matte clear version as it doesn't half pick up fingerprints!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
Actually that would be nice too!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
This case looks super thick and bulky. Is that true or is it just the way the pictures make it look?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
The Mous?

It looks really slim to me with the appropriate amount where it needs too.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
From the pics posted above there is a pretty huge lip around the sides.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
The sides are almost parallel to the screen. The case feels really premium and has a nice grip. It's not slippery.

I went over 5 cases and I like this one the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
I wasn't referring to the height as much as the thickness. I'm just saying from the pictures not putting it down
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Any oil slicks or water marks on the back where the clear meets the back of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] RandomJazz:
Nope! I haven't noticed anything like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] pinoymutt:
Have you considered the Ringke Fusion Matte? https://www.ringkestore.com/products/galaxy-s20-ultra-case-fusion-matte - I love their cases and don't cost an arm and a leg.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
Great minds and all that, I already have it! If I could get the back from that case on the Mous for me that would be perfect. I wish there was a more rugged version of the Tingle, because I love the added protection of the rails of the Mous case but not how much of a fingerprint magnet it is.

Because I'm a nutter I've ordered a matte screen protector for an iPad, going to try cut it out and stick it to the back of the Mous case to see if I can keep it clear but give it that more matte texture.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] soullinker20:
I am using catalyst impact. out of curiosity and search for the right case I bought mous clarity and hopefully i would like it. catalyst has big bumpers making it too wide for my taste, the bumpers are a bit slippery for me so i had to put tape to make it grippy. volume buttons are super mushy. aside from these it is thin. still waiting for the case.

can anyone compare mous clarity? how wide and bulky is it?

Thank You

Hi all, it's my first post so please be gentle especially as it seems like a stupid question.

I've just bought a second hand S3 frontier so I've been looking around the internet for information, tips & tricks etc. and found this website.

I have heard the term rooting before and realise it's been going on for a long time on mobile devices but always wondered what are the pros & cons.

For the S3 for example is it something you have to do to put on your (or other people's) watch faces for example.

I am not that tech savvy to be honest and I would worry about bricking the device but if there are many advantages to doing it I would consider it.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought an unlocked AT&T phone. I don't care about security updates. I do like performance improvements and certain changes when moving to a new operating system though. However I am not willing to make those changes if I sacrifice stability.

Should I switch my AT&T rom to U.S unlocked? Is the gains worth it? Do I gain anything other then "Android 9 pie" in the settings? How is performance?

Will I get OTA updates after that or will I still need to use LGUP?
