[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
Hi There People,

I hope everyone out there in XDA-Land, is safe and well? On a personal level, one of the benefits of the Covid-19 pandemic is the enforced lockdown allowed me to do some much needed decluttering of a mass of old boxes which had old tech in it. After having a good root around I found my old Nexus 7 2012 WiFi model which I had previously rooted and used successfully for years before I started neglecting it for an iPad mini (I know… I know…).

Having been playing around with it for the past 4 days, thinking what I could do with it. I have decided to use it as a desk hub for my google home setup (a home and 2 mini’s), watch YouTube and Netflix vids, plus get lost in Twitter (via the app) from time. The browser I use on it at the moment is InBrowser and that’s just to open links from Twitter. I have installed Spotify and Deezer to stream music via Bluetooth and with Root access apps Stick Mount and Titanium Backup that's it, I've installed nothing else...

There will be no other google apps required such as Maps, Gmail, Play Books/Music/Games etc.

Given the very limited use can anyone advise of a ROM which will help with general responsiveness as the touch screen is slow as f*%k. Navigating menus just makes the whole experience painful, I did take a look at the ROM list and was thinking one of these below, plus the Parrott mod could be the way to breathe new life into it before I toss it in the bin. Current android version is 5.1.1, Kernel version 3.1.10-gf5d7b8b and Clock Work Mod recovery version is 6.0.4.3 but I did wipe out the root access when in recovery I cleared the cache partition in CWM

:eek:

My only wish is for a fast tablet which will accept app updates, I'm not seeking an android 10 ROM or anything so fancy ;). It won’t be moving around or be used on Facebook or Instagram or used for heavy browsing or multitasking.

I know asking which is best or fastest is a subjective question predicated on what it the tablet will be used for but I'm hoping for a few "Hey check this out, it might be what you are looking for" responses.

Any advice is warmly received, thanks in advance.

I just found my Nexus 7 in a drawer and I'm doing the same thing, the current ROM is painfully slow, I'll be watching this thread
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=1302546]Dr Asqueroso[/MENTION] as all of the ROM you have mentioned above are based on the same kernel and device configuration they most likely will provide similar performance. It's up to you to choose whether you would like to go with a more simple (AOSP-based) ROM updated with the latest backported security patches or if you prefer additional features.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
To be honest [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION], when you say additional features or security I think of how I will use the Nexus 7 and I can't think of what additional things I would use it for. In my perfect scenario, this is going to save me buying a "Google Home Hub". As it will only be used for streaming music, watching videos and the odd browse on the interweb. Security would be the choice from these options if pressed for an answer but I'm not sure what I'd be securing? Maybe my Deezer playlist (I'm told I have a horrible taste in music).

I have to admit, I haven't investigated what these additional things are as in my mind, my requirements are very basic. The stock ROM I have is slow to the point that I thought the screen was damaged, so I seek a modified ROM where someone much smarter than me has stripped away the none essential allowing an older device such as mine, to run it without crashes and slow response times.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
Hey guys,

I put parrotmod rom on my nexus and I swear it's back to normal. It took me all day because I read a thread saying converting to f2fs file system through TWRP would speed it up tremendously, well, that ended up giving me a boot screen asking for a password, I converted back to Ext4, flashed parrotmod and that gave me a bluetooth shares error which took a couple of hours to figure out. Now I'm back in business.

Search for Parrotmod, it works great!View attachment 5028209
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=1302546]Dr Asqueroso[/MENTION] [MENTION=445490]Jeffdaddy[/MENTION] if your requirements are fulfilled with a 5.x ROM optimized with Parrotmod that's the most easiest way to you, if you would like to have a Android 7.x ROM with latest security patches, go with Android 7.x AOSP (btw. it includes and optimizes the Parrotmod modifications).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
This looks great, I'm intrigued and want try try this, I noticed there's 4200 posts in that thread, I'm willing to do the work but is the #1 post the one eith complete instructions on how to flash for grouper 2012 nexus 7? I'm definitely not an expert and need detailed instructions .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
Now, this is what I'm here for... I did look at your ROM [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION] but wasn't sure if there was something "newer" and "faster" which was being recommended but like [MENTION=445490]Jeffdaddy[/MENTION] says this is a very, very intriguing option. If this can get an 8 year old device behaving like I need it to, I'd be a fool to sniff at it. I'll have a good read of the thread and have a go at installing it. Can you use CWM and the Wugfresh application to install your ROM?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
This is great, I flashed to it and it's smooth and snappy however, I don't have the Google play store and I'm unable to add my Google email into it, I thought maybe I didn't flash gapps properly, so I tried it again and got this error, is this the proble? Not having gaps installed?View attachment 5028361View attachment 5028363
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
[MENTION=445490]Jeffdaddy[/MENTION] This is great news... is your screen responding to touch inputs?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
Yes, it's running smoothly, I just don't have the Google Apps, I'm trying to read through that other thread to see how I can flash it properly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=445490]Jeffdaddy[/MENTION] Two possible reasons are coming into my minds:

- Do you have installed the latest TWRP-Recovery for Grouper/Tilapia? If not, this may/will cause issues, so please do an update first

- There is also a chance for a corrupt file system, so you should do a file system check, especially on your /data partition but probably also on /system and /cache
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
Twrp 3.3.1-0

Possibly corrupt file system? How do I do a file system check?

Thanks for your help
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Unfortunately I am not able to check whether TWRP offers the possibility to do a file system check from the user interface, but in this thread you can find some additional information, too: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/development/unofficial-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3243943/page37
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
I just had the previous version of parrotmod on 5.0 and everything was fine [emoji2379]
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
One final Question: which Gapps did you try to flash? You need to use pico, all other versions are too big.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
I posted whatever one that was recommended in the post for grouper, I'll double check though, thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
That was it! I didn't realize I had to click the button next to pick and had gottem stock. You're a genius

It's sooo smooth and snappy!View attachment 5028557
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
Looks like this will be the one to try then. Is there a simple how to guide for the install process?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffdaddy:
Click the link he posted above, instructions are there, post #1
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
[MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION] Super easy guide and process worked without issues, the only point I had to check was the download of the Gapps version which was resolved upon reading correctly :highfive:

Like [MENTION=445490]Jeffdaddy[/MENTION] I'm grateful for the help, as I now have a Nexus 7 which actually works like it did when I first got it... :D

My Nexus 7 wifi, running stock 5.1.1 was as good as dead, with the alarm clock being the only functionality. It is back from the dead after flashing Lineage 14.1 in this post

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-nexus-7-2012-t3530261 . It is not perfect but a whole lot better, which is good enough considering the device itself isn't exactly powerhouse. It never crossed my mind to flash custom ROM prior to this and went back to Kitkat which is no longer supported by many apps. And it is ugly as hell, so ........
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nate2:
The latest practical Android on Asus Nexus 7 (2012)?

I was running Android 4.2.x for a long time, and tablet performance was acceptable.

Tried Android 6.x and the tablet was just too slow for anything practical.

Reverted to Android 4.4.x, and it's kinda ok, but a little slower than 4.2

Anyone running anything newer than the stock Android v4.4 base, with practical performance?

Hello, I write asking for help because I have a particular problem regarding my Chinese car radio, the brand sincerely does not, it has a Rockchip RK3066 dualcore, 1024x600 resolution, MCU MTCB-KGL4-v.2.55 to test a Malaysk ROM, everything works except the usb connection for the 3G key, with the original version worked. I hope you can help me solve this problem, maybe a tip to return to the original rom, which of course I no longer have. I attach the photo of the car radio.

Thank you all
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] alexdspt:
Hey all,

Am I the only one having issues during phone calls? When I call someone, sometimes the call drops randomly and I hear a network fail sound. I can't reproduce it. Sometimes it happens, others don't. Does anyone experience the same or have any solution? I have tried both SIM slots and doesn't help in any way. I have 4g coverage so I don't believe it's a problem with my network provider (vodafone).

Thanks

PS: Why not change the thread title to include 9S model as well?

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] alexdspt:
Is it confirmed? I just returned the smartphone to the shop and asked for a refund since I could not find anyone with the same issue. Now, I'm reluctant to ask for another equipment since it is very frustrating to have such a bug as calls dropping randomly.

Hello it´s append to to me also,, I´m from Portugal to.

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] glinex:
Same

Just glad I'm not the only one but yes this problem is very annoying

I really want to give xiaomi a chance but this is the most basic function of a phone and it's failing

Previously it also had an issue of losing internet connection but I think they fixed that with a patch so hopefully there will be one soon with this call dropping issue (also sometimes I cannot receive calls either…)
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] williamsonoma:
randomly happens.

I'm on 11.0.8.0 USA

I hope they fix it. I really like this phone.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] alexdspt:
I ended up returning the phone. It is really annoying and as you said it's the most basic function of a phone. I'll be waiting for a fix and/or another model. I don't believe they'll fix it before miui 12 since it's just around the corner and that update may bring other bugs so they must not be fixing any bugs of miui 11. Just my 2 cents, of course.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] williamsonoma:
I enabled wifi calling and its now stable when I am on wifi.

I use tmobile.

Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)

VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*

VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*

Things should work after you enable the two options.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] galaxy6220:
I use wifi calling as well as network calling guys, every lengthy call eventually gets dropped. Very annoying!

I love the phone and I am holding hope in resolving these issues by flashing a custom rom. I asked the question regarding the call dropping and wifi bug in the Evolution X thread, apparently all is working well without problems with that rom.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] williamsonoma:
Is evolution x rom the only custom rom confirm to resolve the drop call issue? Any others?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] galaxy6220:
I'm not sure. I've been keeping an eye out in the custom ROM threads for any mention of the two bugs. I haven't seen anything at all.

I asked the dev in the Evolution X thread and he confirmed all is working well regarding this. It seems that development is very active with that ROM, I really want to flash it but there are a few reports of people getting bootloop errors initially, and we still don't have the official TWRP.

I love Miui, after all you can freeze out or remove many of the pesky apps, it works well but it's just the call dropping and the wifi bugs that are plaguing many. This is a major issue that doesn't seen to be getting resolved. Pretty disappointing really.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] williamsonoma:
I read that the dev is no longer going forward with the evolution rom. I really hope this is fix in xiaomis next update. For now wifi calling is the temp fix for me.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] galaxy6220:
I read that the developer QuantumShqipe has received some donations now to continue the ongoing work of Evo x which is great news for the development.

Just a note on wifi calling with Miui, I still get call dropping with wifi calls, even though I can be right next to the router. I also notice that the wifi calling icon is on and off. I never stays constantly on when in good range of the router. The preference is even set to 'prefer wifi to network' in settings. Putting the phone in airplane mode helps that problem but it's crazy having to do all these work arounds. Like you, and everyone else I just wish the issue would get fixed ASAP. I have never known any phone to have it's most obvious function fail.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] tangoviking:
You know what, Xiaomi developers knew about this problem with wifi/call drops. Of course they did. But management decided to rush the product to market to generate more sales. I feel stupid for buying a brand new phone but not in my wildest imagination could I believe they would mess up the very basic fundamental functions of a smart-phone.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] galaxy6220:
Totally agree Tangoviking. I really hope someone of some importance at Xiaomi is taking note here. It's a total disgrace. Not even a reassuring mention of a fix.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] williamsonoma:
I'm holding off for official mui 12 which I'm hoping its soon.

I just updated to 11.0.9.0 yesterday. So far I haven't noticed any drops but then again I haven't really used the phone for more than 1-minute duration.

Any tentative date of mui 12 release?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] galaxy6220:
I too will be holding off until Miui 12, that will be the decider. I haven't a clue when it's rolling out, I thought late June but we're already there. I'm not bothering with any updates until then unless it's specific to the bugs.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] RobertSnow:
More or less same issue

i also need some help. Redmi Note 8, with MIUI Global 11.09.9 Stable. The call drops in the middle of the conversation, that is, I can still hear my calling partner, but they cannot hear me anymore. It happens at random, not always but mostly, also, it happens after 1 minute or 5 or 10 minutes, not logical. Anybody? Already tried everything I think....
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] diaton101:
Redmi Note 9S - call dropping issue

I have the same problem with call dropping irregularly. The phone function is totally unreliable.

I tried many MIUI's so far:

11.0.3 (EU-official)

11.0.4 (EU-official)

11.0.4 (EU-XTRV from the Greek forum)

11.0.8 (Global-official)

11.0.11 (Global-official)

The problem persists with all of them, which means that most probably it is a hardware issue with a batch of this model.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] williamsonoma:
My call drop issues went away on its own.

global 9s in USA with tmobile on 11.0.11

did you try to clean cache?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] diaton101:
Personally I tried every possible workaround steps suggested in various fora with no lack so far. What makes me sceptical is how come many others with the same device and the same provider don't have the problem? This is why I ended up to beleive there is a hardware issue with certain devices
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] hart932:
Sad to say i didn't know about this issue until i bought the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Updated rom to official MIUI 12.0.2 & still having the call dropping issue. Unfortunately, i can't return the phone. Feel so frustrated with Xiaomi this time after buying so many of their phones. Looks like those in charge of Redmi range is slacking in their job.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] RobertSnow:
Indeed it is a sad thing, the call dropping issue persists and is not going away no matter what MIUI version you have. I love the phone but this issue makes the phone not usable. All advice from Xiaomi is just pure BS. Too many people have this issue and it had been around for a long time. No fix available!
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] jututt:
I have this issue with Redmi9, even with latest v12 update.

Also with full 4G signal it switches to 3G when calling. Problem is that in my area 3G has been phased out in favour of more 4G coverage and 5G, so 3G signal is poor and com quality is bad.

I tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting a combo of radios so that 2G (instead of 3G) is used when making/receiving a call. 2G network signal is always strong and here to stay (at least in EU). Thus not suitable if you need internet when calling.

Selecting 'LTE only' prevents any call being done (line drops instantly)

However line still randomly drops usually after 10 minutes.

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the update process of OOS while having Magisk installed as described in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-oneplus-8-twrp-t4084849

I've heard from a friend which has a OP8 Pro and a few users on the internet that after a software update the fingerprint no longer functions when you have Magisk (Canary) installed while doing the update and that people need a backup of their persist partition to restore this functionality.

Now I want to make sure I have a backup of this and any other essential partition just in case something does go wrong because currently I'm on OOS 10.5.4 and a update for OOS 10.5.6 is ready for me in the OOS System Updater.

So which partitions should I back up and what app, tool or something else should I be using to back these up?

Thanks in advance.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] El_Gerson:
Hi, so i recently installed pixel experience on my poco f1, everything was good and i had pixel on my phone, but i got an ota update that made the phone charging slowly so i decided to flash my old rom which was working fine. But i forgot to delete my passwords and i didnt flash disable_forceEncryption bc i thought that i didnt have to flash it because my phone was already encrypted with pe.

The problem comes when i flash again my rom to get downgrade, when it boots appeared that i had to put a password to get into the phone, i tried to put my old one but it said that was incorrect. So i saw that i had to format data in my recovery to avoid that, so thats why i tried to did, but when i try to get into twrp, appeared that i need a password too :o.

I tried as before my old password, also tried with default_password and with password, nothing worked. If i remember well in the log said that it was unable to decrypt with default password, i didnt have my usb debugging enabled bc i had a new rom which i couldn get into as i said before, so for me my phone was basically dead bc the only way to revive him in that status is with edl mode.

But suddennly dont know how in one of reboots, my phone gets into the recovery without password, i read the log and it said that it was able to decrypt with the old password wtf... Anyone knows why this happened? i mean why i could get into the recovery if it was asking for a password and then suddenly he could skip that password when before it couldnt??

P.S: thanks for your attention and sorry for my english :/
