[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
I want to create my own mod (for personal use) based on a downloadable Magisk GPS mod found here - https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/optmizedgpsconf . That mod doesn't work on my Pixel phone (with Lineage OS 17.1). It forces GPS to not lock on any satellites. With that mod, only assisted, network-based location works. However, that mod that have some entries in GPS.conf files that are an improvement over stock/Lineage GPS.conf settings security-wise.

Here's my own GPS.conf change:

NTP_SERVER = time.cloudflare.com

I've gone Cloudflare and DNS-over-HTTPS all the way - on every device in my network, router, modem, OS settings, YogaDNS (for Windows), AdGuard settings, Magisk Cloudflare DNS modules, Bromite, and set Cloudflare NTP server globally - "adb shell settings put global ntp_server time.cloudflare.com" . If there are other places where I can replace stock NTP Server address with time.cloudflare.com with relative ease, then please let me know.

Here are the GPS.conf entries I wanted to take from the Optimized GPS Magisk module to add to my own GPS.conf:

XTRA_SERVER_1 = https://xtrapath1.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2 = https://xtrapath2.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3 = https://xtrapath3.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin

XTRA_VERSION_CHECK = 3

XTRA_CA_PATH = /system/etc/security/cacerts

I don't think LineageOS 17.1 comes with certificates for version 3 (the most secure) HTTPS version of XTRA servers and their BIN files... The default GPS.conf uses "XTRA_VERSION_CHECK = 1" (poorly secured HTTP XTRA servers). Can I get those Version 3 XTRA certificates somewhere? I don't think my mod is going to work without them. It could be that the existing GPS Magisk module doesn't work because those certificates are missing. Whenever I use Assisted GPS, AdGuard (in VPN mode) does not display connections to anything other than Google to determine my location via network...

Second major question - is a simple repack tool for those who want to create simple file replacement Magisk modules without scripts? I know nothing of programming, but I do have PC game modding experience via modding tools. Some basic syntax is easy to understand with common sense, such as "IF bla bla, THEN bla bla" stuff. I plan to use the existing GPS Magisk module to create my own GPS module simply via GPS.conf file substitution and zipping with WinRAR. That should work...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] lilabing:
the official MIUI 11 I'm using now, and too many trash system apps running in background makes the game I'm playing keep choppy and frozen (or lag?).

the main purpose of this phone for me is playing multiplayer games, so compared to functionally powerful, Light and Smooth is more what I care.

which ROM (and version) is most suitable for this usage? Thanks. :o

thanks for your kind advice, but seems miui eu is based on china official builds? and miui official build 11.0.1 Android 10 is already withdrawed by official because of too many bugs (source: read on china xiaomi forum). also those negative feedbacks about 11.0.1 Android 10 on miui eu forum...still thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] hejbabi:
Tested a ton of ROMs (mostly from xiaomi.eu) and I keep going back to MIUI 11.2, version 20.1.21 BETA. Works way better than the "stable" ones, is smooth as fk, crisp menus no lag etc.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] pecholino:
I went from xiaomi.eu (a10/miui12) to "pixel plus ui" rom and I don't regret it. I've got more storage available, way better battery backup without the stupid miui battery manager which limits apps by default (10h SoT and 2 days without charge), UI is smooth and so far I haven't found any bugs.

Normally, I don't like to flash custom roms because in time i've learned that they all have their flaws. But coming from an androidOne phone, I just can't stand MIUI anymore. It got HUGE with tons of customizations/features I don't need nor want. Flashing a custom rom got me an extra 10gb+! of free storage. That's why I tested a couple of roms and I'm sticking with "pixel plus ui".

I am really unsure what this could be and have only just noticed it, can someone please help me and tell me what it could be.
[iQOO Z1 Questions & Answers] ObeerbongKenobi:
This phone has so much potential to be the best kept secret in the XDA developers price to performance category. At $310.00 USD for the 6G/128GB version there is a ton of phone for the money. It also has plenty of 4g bands so it can be used pretty much anywhere in the world. I have no experience with VIVO. All I've seen in reviews on youtube is they make really nice looking phones that cost an arm and a leg and perform the same or under their peers like Xiaomi and Realme but cost much more. Then recentIy stumbled upon the IQOO Z1. This phone could be so awesome if there was a way to get past all the Chinese garbage on it and just flash it to a custom rom like I did with the Le Max 2. That phone was loaded with Chinese bloatware but after you guys started making custom roms for it the phone is still going strong almost 5 years after it was released! Has there been any talk about unlocking the bootloader on the z1? It's probably too new to even discuss this right now. The phone was just released on June 1, 2020 and I have seen nothing about anyone trying to make a custom rom on the Dimensity 1000 Plus chipset.

I was looking at the realme x50 5g to replace my aging LeMax2. Even thought the 5g bands are worthless in the USA the 4g bands are supported by Tmobile. I thought at $250 this is a good price/performance phone then I saw the Iqoo z1. There is not a lot of info or reviews on the phone except in Chinese at the time of this post. Looks like a wolf in sheeps clothing when you see the gpu and cpu scores!
[iQOO Z1 Questions & Answers] chanlokhung:
Do you know what's the consequence of having high price/performance for Le Max 2? LeEco has went bankruptcy.

I hope vivo won't be the next as I am highly satisfied with vivo iqoo z1 and vivo nex S.

However I am not optimistic on vivo development as they are keep rolling out infinite number of models which even vivo fans not able to distinguish.

It introduces high software update cost and lack of a representative product of the brand.

He's going not going on the right track.

No, I know Chinese and I read the Chinese forums. You know what?

It has a higher benchmark score with normal mode than it has in monster mode (overclock). Overclocking introduces tremendous heat which triggers throttling.

I suspect power saving mode would even score higher consdiering the temp and throttling.

[Magisk] vash_h:
Hello fellow malaysian..

To use maybank2u app on rooted phone, you need to do two things on magisk.

1. Hide maybank2u app in magisk

2. Hide magisk manager

If this still don't work, like on my case on samsung note 8, you'll need to run magisk on core only mode.
[Magisk] Deleted member 8094713:
Another thing worth trying is deleting twrp folder from your phone. Some apps look for twrp folder
[Magisk] superbarney:
I can confirm that hiding the maybank2u app using MagiskHide AND hidinng the magisk manager app will allow the Maybank2U app to operate. The magisk manager app needs to be hidden as well.
[Magisk] billy_overheat:
How about secure2u? I'm using vanilla with aurora without microg. able to use MAE but no luck on secure2u.

How is the kaiser compared with the HTC Touch Diamond???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dufferin:
Isn't the Kaiser more of a do-it-all and the Touch Diamond more of a show piece?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Silly comparison. They're both slow if you look the GLBenchmarks compared to most Nokias, iPhones, and SonyEricssons.

HTC+Qualcomm == dredging the bottom of the barrel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
GLbenchmarks mean nothing if you use your phone for a true multidevice. Lets see Iphone let me use it as a cellular modem, give me full customization of its OS, VNC/SSH into my servers, remotely administer my clients networks via VPN access, ...... this list can go on forever. Bottom of the barrel you say???? Hrmmmmmm.

As far as Slow goes.......... dual cores handling the OS and radio systems isnt what i consider slow...............

Lets keep on topic.

Kaiser = Power User phone. Diamond is a beautiful stand in with a bit less functionality.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] slovoflud:
Dual Core sounds nice BUT, all phones have 2 chips, 1 to wake the other, and in Kaiser 1 is used solely to process call information, and if you look at the actual UI speed... not what I call Fast. Doesn't matter how many processors power Kaiser, it's slow as it stands now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rudeboye:
Cool Comparison:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Hi:

Why do you say it has less functionality? I'm not contradicting you, I am really asking, because I thought the Diamond would have the same capabilities as the Kaiser. After hearing the rumors that AT&T will get the Touch Pro, I was so excited to get one, but now I'm worried it may not be as functional as the Tilt.

Along the same lines, I was wondering, does the VGA screen pose a problem? What I mean is as far as compatibility with most games, programs etc?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meckah:
Not trying to be mean, but I think it's a silly comparison...

A more logical comparison would be Kaiser vs Touch Pro...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
it does with several games /emus but very few (if any) apps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
flash memory / expandability (card slot)? QWERTY? in these, the Kaiser is way better
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Theri0n:
I suppose it's pretty individual issue. Diamond has faster CPU, VGA screen, sexy interface with 4Gb internal memory without expansion slot, so as a result this is rather alternative to iPhone with limited advantage of using loads of free or hacked WM software limited by those 4Gb only.

Keiser is solid QWERTY-featured 100% WM device with all its outcome. For instance I had been using HTC Blue Angel (wich is actually direct ancestor of Keiser) for 4 years and done to it almost everything except direct sexual intercourse.

The choice of XDA veteran.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tak.japan:
I don't get this comparison, the battery capacity decreased, yet the talk time has increased for diamond...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bjd223:
Does the Diamond have Drivers? Maybe its because the CPU isnt getting its ass beat by drawing the screen all day long.

Could be another benefit to getting working drivers on the kaiser.

just a thought.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] belon_cfy:
Toshiba G810 better even they are using MSM7200 400Mhz which is same as TYTN 2.

Look at the video , the drawing speed is much much smoother and faster than our TYTN2 .... HTC , you really need to DO SOMETHING.:mad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAyJ7_f3rS0&feature=related

Is anyone trying to port the driver from G810 to tytn2 ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Anybody got a rom dump of the 810 then?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fhteagle:
g810

Once I get a g810 I will rom dump both to cook my own and will pass it around for the drivers, if this is still needed... let me know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gluzko:
Any news on you g810? Would be great if you can dump the rom.

So, the weirdest thing happened today - I took my phone from my pocket and for a moment I thought it wasn't my phone! It looked like I had just bought it again - stock apps, no additional apps installed, tutorial hints popping up, empty gallery, etc. Just like I've done a factory reset to it.

I panicked for a moment but before jumping to conclusions I restarted it. And guess what? It worked! Everything was back again just like I left it. My apps were back and so were my photos, etc.

My question is - what the hell happened? Did I access some sort of recovery partition? And how?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] ljg600:
This is an elegant leather folio case with plenty of protection and excellent fit and finish. It is relatively sleek, has cutouts so the cover can be closed even when speaking on the phone; has adequate storage for two cards and a sufficient magnetic latch. Volume and Bixby keys are a bit stiff, but well protected. The cut out for the camera is again, adequate, though not deep, probably in an effort to reduce thickness and bulk. Wireless charging and NFC (for Samsung Pay) is fully supported.

The phone is easy to insert in the polycarbonate case section- but I do not believe the fit is too loose. Repeated removal and reinsertion could loosen the case fit over time. I obviously do not intend to drop test the case, but Otterbox is known for extensive testing.

Overall, I believe this is an excellent folio option for the S20 series.

My previous phone was Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and it had a ton of custom ROMs and features. But even though the 7T doesn't have a large number of custom ROMs, I'm very happy with the Oxygen OS since it very similar to the stock Android and has necessary features.

I want to know that what all Oxygen OS unique features will I miss if I switched to a custom ROM? I mean the features that won't get in any custom ROM. I know the features that present in every custom ROMs but I can't figure out which unique feature will I miss from Oxygen OS.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] ej8989:
You'll lose stability. There are no proper Custom ROMs for this device yet.

Besides, OxygenOS already feels like a very stable custom rom so why bother anyway?

Just flash beta if you're really itching to try something "new".

Thanks all for the answers. I've been using custom ROMs (even developed a few) since the decade old Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 to the Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus, and I always preferred those with both feature rich and similar to stock Android. The Oxygen OS is very well polished, stable and looks very similar to the stock Android, and since I started using my OnePlus 7T I even forgot about custom ROMs. After reading your points I think it is better to stay away from custom ROMs. If this was a few years ago I wouldn't have a second thought, I'd definitely try them.
