So……no function bug found yet. It's a simple and graceful OS……almost like Lineage. Nice work.

advantage:

stable, simple, graceful

preinstalled via broser and retro music

disadvantage:

few custom (except some settings like Lineage theme )

no preinstalled GCam/ANX

————

installed over miui 11.0.15 CN & wzsx twrp 0624
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] burninitup:
Revenge is a superb OS. Less customisation but pretty stable and smooth.

It would be nice if you include the ANX cam by default since it doesn't work properly after flashing seperately.

Also the battery in the quicksettings hides behind the notch.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] simmiv:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ with a strange issue..

After restarting it, all seems well.. Ring volume is fine when the phone is called.. In about less than an hour, the ring volume dies down to being so low that when it's in your pocket you can't hear it. Restart fixes it again for a few minutes.. I've done a lot of analysis and worked out that what happens is the bottom speaker simply goes silent. When it works fine, I can enter *#0*# and test the both, bottom and top speakers and all is well. When the ring tone goes almost silent, the same test reveals the bottom speaker is completely silent. The strange thing is that the bottom speaker works after restart for a variable amount of time. For instance, I had it on a flat surface and it called it every 10 minutes. After about 50 minutes it suddenly went silent. Also, after restart, if I play a music file it starts out fine and plays fine for half to one and a half song. i.e. it will after a while suddenly go mute and the only sound comes from the top speaker, which is of course a lot lower. I think this is not software related, because I've done a factory reset, which didn't change anything. I know that both the top and bottom speakers are drive by separate MAX98512 Audio Amplifier chips, so that seems to indicate the bottom speaker chip seems to cut out after some usage. The phone is out of warranty, so returning it to Samsung might be costly as they would simply quote for replacing the main board (That is where the amplifier is located.) I've gone into debug mode (*#0283#) and done a dump, which I then copied to an external SD card. I've tried to find any errors in the messages related to this i.e. max98512 hw and debug messages, but I'm not used to reading these. My remaining option is to rip it open and follow the diagnostic procedure to check if the MAX98512 chip is faulty or not. What bugs me is the fact that it works fine after restart and then suddenly dies! Anyone had any experience with an issue similar to this?

I have some issue .

did you solve the problem?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] olliethehobo:
I'm pretty new to both rooting and this website, so I apologize in advance for any newbie mistakes I'm gonna make.

Background:

I have a VS-996 which frankensteined and unlocked by following this post . After doing that I flashed pie and then flashed lineage os from here . That rom wasn't very stable and kept crashing, so I tried others. I wound up going with Havoc OS. I believe it was in 3.4 when I first flashed it. I've kept up with the updates up to 3.7.

The Problems:

Havoc OS works fine for me, very stable, except for some reason phone calls and messages(both sms and MMS) are spotty at best. Sometimes texts won't send at all, or they'll act like they sent but the text won't be recieved. Sometimes my phone will say I can make emergency calls only. Group messages and sending pictures don't seem to work at all, at any time. These issues seem most prevalent immediately after booting my phone up. Data works perfectly except sometimes when the phone doesn't like to register that the SIM is inserted for a little bit after booting up.

What I've tried:

I've tried reinstalling the rom.

I've tried installing different Android 10 roms.

I've tried going through the process again starting at the the Frankenstein method and going from there.

I've tried messing with the apn

If I flash back to a stock pie ROM everything goes back to working perfectly, and I'm using my sim in my old V20 while I try to sort this out, so I know the SIM is not to blame.

I've been unable to find anybody else with this particular problem, though that could just be because the problems cover so many different aspects that I'm not sure exactly how to search for answers.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Are you Verizon customer? You say you have VS996.

There's an LOS ROM bug for Verizon SIM card users where upon rebooting the phone you have to make a phone call first to then receive texts. This phone call "registers" the SIM card or whatever. Many people call their voicemail number to satisfy this requirement.

This bug affects all LOS-based ROMs.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] olliethehobo:
Yes I am a verizon customer. I had noticed that making a phone call seemed to help things along when messages wouldn't send. I guess I managed to let my phone die or turn it off enough to hide the fact that it fixed me. Giving it a test just now it seems to be working correctly. I don't know if I'll be happy or mad if the solution turns out to be this simple.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Was noted extensively on LOS-16 ROMs, but not discussed as much with LOS-17 (Android 10) ROMs. But earlier this month someone in the Havoc 3.7 (LOS-17 based) thread did bring it up...

July 9, 2020

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-havoc-os-3-3-t4062657/page39

However, the larger problem is in six months you will not be able to use LOS-based custom ROMs with V30 on Verizon.

* As of

December 31, 2020 Verizon is dropping 3G CDMA to repurpose bandwidth for 5G

.

After that date, to make any phone calls on Verizon you will need VoLTE. No LOS-based custom ROMs have VoLTE. You will need stock Verizon firmware. It can be rooted stock firmware; you can use Magisk modules to add features -- but needs to be Verizon firmware for VoLTE.

* T-mobile users are in the same predicament.

In

January 2021, T-mobile will be dropping 3G HSPA for same reasons

. T-mobile users will need VoLTE, which only comes with V30 stock firmware. However, T-mobile is less stingy. They also allow US998 firmware to have VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling with T-mobile SIM. Whereas Verizon requires Verizon stock firmware, and it needs to have been activated on a phone with Verizon IMEI at some point.

* AT&T will also eventually drop 3G HSPA -- but not until

February 2022

(18 months from now).

So, for U.S. V30 owners who wish to run custom ROMs a little longer, you should check out

AT&T Prepaid

. It's a lot cheaper than "regular" AT&T, but is only for people who own their phones.

18 months is a long time. Anything can happen in 18 months!

AT&T only gives VoLTE to AT&T IMEI phones, as well as iPhones and some other phones I would never own. I've never used an AT&T branded phone on AT&T. I'm an AT&T customer with three native US998 for myself, my wife, my mother -- so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it in February 2022. Will probably give my mother an AT&T V35. Maybe my wife, too. Also, LG may get their act together and produce a good phone fro the LG V70 or LG V80.

Any Verizon, T-mobile (and Sprint), and AT&T MVNOs (Straight Talk, Ting, etc.) will also be affected by these decisions.

I have a more extensive discussion of this issue here:

All U.S. V30/V3O+/V30S will need stock firmware, not LOS-based custom ROMs. When?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] curgervending:
As the title states, it's a geeky question. I'm trying to get an idea of how robust the artificial intelligence (AI) engine is on the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (T-Mobile snapdragon version). I tried Google searching with no results. I also chatted with a Samsung "expert" who had no idea (go figure).

I used to own a Huawei Mate 20 and now I own the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Got rid of the Huawei phone before doing a real world comparison. The Huawei Mate 20 contained 6.9 billions transistors on its AI engine.

So if anyone knows how many transistor are on the snapdragon version S20 Ultra SoC, I'll just compare that to the number of transistors on the Huawei phone to get a ballpark idea which phone has a more robust AI engine.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] digitaljeff:
It appears Qualcomm hasn't released that info on their latest Kyro cores (yet). However, you can't really do an apples to apples comparison of the 2 devices AI engines by just comparing transistor count...

But...

the snapdragon 855 had 6.7b, 845 5.3b, 835 3b... so i guess you could extrapolate from those #'s and make a guess...

[General Questions and Answers] EasyToHack:
Good day, I have a problem and I have no idea how to solve this. I didn't want to but an root app glitched and now I have the wrong resolution on my phone, this also breaks the touch controls, so I cant navigate/use my phone.

So atm I'm not in panic as I'm sure there is one file I need to change or replace with my old (too old, I would like to keep my files if possible) twrp backup?

Another problem would be I cant acess adb from the rom as I cant confirm my (already activated) usb debugging

The adb command that proppably could help would be: "wm size reset"

So where is the wm value stored?

Reflashing the newest rom doesn't help

I'm thankfull for every help!

Thank you but I couldn't use my phone because the touch wasn't working in this wrong resolution.

However, I solved my problem!

Luckily, I have a USB-to-go cabel and my Miui rom has support for mouse and keyboard, this way I was able to use my phone and after that ADB to reset the resolution

Hopefully this will help some in the future with the same Problem

I need to say that I was really lucky as my draw pattern was scaled incorrect and so only a few pixel where left from the bottom row dots, barely unlockable, but I got it. Else I had potentially soft-bricked my phone, and I can only hope that a factory reset would help here.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] MK004@007:
Hello guys, I need some advice on purchasing Oneplus Nord. My apologies if I violate any community guidelines.

I own an oneplus 6 and its display got damaged. I own it since its launch and I am a heavy user and it has seen its fair share of wear and tear. I also have old moto g5s plus running custom rooms which I only use for android app development.

The new Oneplus Nord does look compelling for the price but in the market, I see realme phones with snapdragon 855 chipsets. I do rely on custom ROMs once the manufacturers update window passes but I am not a die-hard Rom hopper.

Please suggest me if it is a good idea to purchase the OnePlus Nord to use it for the next 2 to 3 years with stock OS and then use it for development purpose with a custom ROM.

OR should I just replace the Oneplus 6 screen and call it a day??

PS: I have never experience 90Hz screen refresh rate.

Thank you
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Saiger:
How much would the screen repair cost you? I personally wouldn´t do it if it´s ~100$.

Is your OP6 still usable? Then why not use it for develpment and get a Nord. You can always mirror/stream the OP6 display onto your PC if it´s too damaged and use it that way.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] iamelton:
i have a OP5 with display issue as well.. the original touch screen went unresponsive three months ago.. display was fine though.. i checked OP repair and they charged HK$23xx (around US$300) for replacing the touch screen, the motherboard and the battery, so basically everything except the frame.. i chose to replace with a 3rd party touch screen for HK$700 (around US$90).. it worked for 3 months and then the touch screen did not respond again.. now i understand why OP repair quoted to replace the motherboard as well as i think its not just the display part but also fault in the main component..

now im using this OP5 exactly as [MENTION=4480489]Saiger[/MENTION] mentioned, connecting it to PC via USB cable and control it from the PC..

had considered OP7 and OP8 but their prices are beyond my acceptable range.. kept an eye on Nord and now its finally announced.. the spec seems good (not top grade but good for my usage) and price is okay.. so i shall definitely get it in Aug when its available..

just wanna share my experience for your reference..
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] MK004@007:
Yes, that is my fear also. I had a Micromax(Indian Phone Company) phone with dead display and after replacement, the touch went crazy. So I am afraid to repair my Oneplus 6.

Thankfully I will be giving interviews for some jobs soon. And in India OP will launch a 6/64 GB variant. Depending on my job I'll make the decision.

Thanks for replying.

New type of wallpaper adds a personalization twist

Wallpapers have been around forever, in smartphone terms. There are two tribes to the species: Static and Live wallpapers. The static ones don't do much besides simply being aesthetically pleasing. Live Wallpapers on the other hand tend to be busy continuously running animation loop to entertain–or perhaps distract–the phone owner.

I felt that something was missing here with choices available, hence Why I developed this concept of a Wake-Animation wallpaper.

The idea in a nutshell is to have something greeting you everytime you unlock your phone–think of a dog eager to show 'I am your friend, here at your service! –yet won't distract with continuous animation loop.

To built my first WAW I used original art by Stephen Najarian, a talented illustrator working in the Fantasy genre.

The way the app works is: you would set it to both Lockscreen and Homescreen in Settings->Live Wallpapers. When the phone is Locked, you will see lockscreen image that may appear like a puzzle with some ambiguity to interpretation. Once the phone gets unlocked though, the wake animation starts playing, and the pieces to the puzzle fall in place, finally revealing an image from Najarian's series. This short story visually unfolds in under a second, while your Launcher dishes out the icons.

For illustration, here the Locksceen on the left shows fragment of a beast up-close, which may not be that obvious at a first glance.

As you unlock the phone and beast comes to life shooting lightnings all over, it becomes clear this is another one of Najarian dragons awakening.

​

​

The Wallpaper app available in Beta at GooglePlay Beta download link

Feedback and suggestions very welcome.

Edit: See this video illustrating the concept:

There should not be an issue with battery consumption, as most animations are under 1sec long. Besides, I am working on a Settings screen now, where you would be able to set how often the Unlock animation will play : once an hour, once a day, every few mins and so on. Stay tuned, another test version comes out in few weeks with this, and screen adjusted for big-screen form factor

[Samsung Galaxy Fold Questions & Answers] varcor:
Prior to the release of the Galaxy Fold I held a high interest in the device, it looked to be the next evolution in smartphones and in some ways it is on the cutting edge. On an International flight the guy sitting next to me allowed to examine his Fold Device. My first impression was this is pretty slick until I unfolded it. I had suspicions the display wasn't going to be the seamless beauty seen in the promotional videos Samsung distributed prior to it's release. I didn't ask the user how long he had the device but it had only been released a few months earlier. Maybe it's just me but the crease running down the middle of the display is very pronounced and tough to ignore. Here's Samsung's official statement regarding the crease.

"You may notice the crease at the center of the main screen due to characteristic of new Polymer material but it is a normal characteristic of device designed for the Infinity Flex Display. It will not affect the display’s quality"

"You may notice the crease" You'd be blind if you didn't notice it and I'm curious about their definition of the quality of the display.

I held off on acquiring a Fold and happy I did based feedback I've read. Also I was surprised to read Samsung is releasing the Fold Special Edition which is identical to the current Fold for $1,090 USD. That's close to half the price of it at release! A big price reduction is concerning but understandable since the device had a number of quality issues, hopefully Samsung has addressed most of these.

My biggest deal killer is the crease so my question is how bad is it for people using it as their daily driver? Any word the soon to arrive Fold 2 has improved on this obvious blemish? I know if I dropped two stacks on a smartphone I might be hesitant to throw shade on it but seriously, how bad is the crease?
