[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
Nikel (MTK) or Mido (Snapdragon) ?

And which ROM are you using?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] usamat259@gmail.com:
I m using MIUI version 11.0.2

RAM 3.00GB

Can u plz tell me how to install ROM 12 in my Redmi note 4?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
GCam doesn't work with MIUI 11. You can flash MIUI 12 from here. People report that GCam is working for them:

Try corvus 8.0. seems good to me.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] nneko904:
i've tried panadroid, bliss, aosp extended, xiaomi eu weekly, colt, ressurection remix, corvus, havoc, crdroid, superior os

the best for me is unoffical bliss by bezke for better battery usage, ressurection remix for performance, aosp extended for ram management
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] santi00_52:
I tried download Bliss, but was imposible. Always the link failed. I will try to download it again.

I will read something about corvus too.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] tweakradje:
Tried all so far. None were 100% to my liking. Always something wrong:

- no bokeh mode in portrait camera

- bad battery life

- no smooth scrolling (e.g. Chrome)

- bad wifi

- etc

The only ROM I can recommend (I'm using it) is MiuiMix. Based on MIUI(EU) with a few tweaks.

MiuiMiX_2.0_ginkgo_20.3.26_v11-9 Download: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261756420

Also tested their good V12/A10 but I don't like MIUI12.

I try every zip that has Ginkgo name in it

AospExtended-v7.3-ginkgo = the best

good battery + ram usage = 1.3gb (out of 6gb)

SuperiorOS comes in 2nd place because ram usage is slightly higher (1.4gb)

Xtended-XQ 3rd place , same as superior but has a call log bug

i saw someone rocommand miui, r u serious ? with the built in ads and thon of bloatware ...

u drunk bro ?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] tweakradje:
Of course not. This is custom ROM based on MiuiEU.

The wifi issues are the worse for me. Pixel it has, and miui.eu (10/12) it has. Not before in miui.eu stable(9/11) but is not a smooth rom.

I have not checked it. But all roms have bugs.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
bugs reported are from v7.1 and 7.2

i'm using 7.3 for 1 months and never face anything wired

(i even installed xposed and all module are working fine, every other rom is not 100% compatible with gravitybox and other xposed modules ...)

the only feature that is missing is gesture anywhere and it would be a perfect rom

miui11 and 12 are straight piece of crap

ram usage is 2gb (out of 6gb) after many optimisation and debloating (not to mention that there are some app that can't be freezed/removed)

(my device is 6/128 and i don't use gapps)

what do you mean "no miui Security centre" ?

you freez or disable that app and your device will not boot

that is a core componant of miui roms
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] sabei:
I am well aware of that on stock miui thanks.

This question was about MiuiMix supposedly a custom rom without all the "phoning home" etc according to the poster I quoted ( [MENTION=240712]tweakradje[/MENTION] ) so I was looking for confirmation from him since he is using it.

[Huawei Mate XS Accessories] tarroyo:
Is there an update on this?
[Huawei Mate XS Accessories] Nikolay1243D:
Kind of but not by me. The chinese manufacturers made this case which is what my one was going to be but my one was going to have the plunger on the back screen and no cover for the front.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001640988542.html

I bought the original version of this which didnt come attached to a bumper(you were expected to remove the bumper and stick it with the adhesive strip the case came with. But that adhesive was weak and kept on unsticking.

This new design they've made integrated with the bumper seems better but I think they should use magnets instead of a plunger because sometimes it's worrying how much it pulls on the screen before it pops off.

For the moment my case of choice is this one in black, I just take it out when I want to unfold. But it allows the back to be used while the case is on which is what I ultimately wanted. You just tap through the case since there's no hole which is what I wanted and taps work as normal

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001652194534.html

I check aliexpress every couple of days for new designs so if there's one which is the "perfect" case, I'll be sure to post it here on the mate xs forum

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] L0stMyMind:
Hi, I have a problem with my new P40 Pro (2 weeks old). All in all everyrhing seems very stable and well balanced software wise, but there is one very annoying thing happening.

Since the very start I have had apps randomly force closing, without any kind of error or crash message. Some even crash again and again when I start them. I open them, crash, open them, crash. Some apps like reddit (boost for reddit and baconreader) crash after a few minutes of usage. My app store (apkpure) crashes a couple of times at start up before I can even use it.

I really hope someone can help me out, does anyone else have this problem?

My phone is running on EMUI 10.1.0.147, don't have any mods besides a Huawei theme (which I only have been using sfor two days now). Also the P30 lite (new edition) of my mother has the same problem (but not as often), and it's running EMUI 10.0.0.250.

How we can enable Google assistant ambient mode in our Redmi Note 8 Pro, Previously Google told that they will release Ambient mode for all the devices but still their is no option under Google Assistant in our device.

We can only use Ambient mode while charging only so their will not be burning issues with display if i am not wrong because google added that support for a lot of devices with LCD panels like poco phone f1 & even Redmi Note 8.

Would love to hear your thoughts about it or maybe a way to enable this feature in our device??

[HTC Excalibur] mossywell:
Anyone tried this? My Excalibur is SIM unlocked and works with a selection of non-3 SIMs, but using a PAYG SIM from 3 says SIM not found (or words to that effect). But, the 3 PAYG SIM works fine in my Nokia N95. I notice that the SIM pinout is different (3 has only 6, but Vodafone and tmobile have 8). I confess I didn't realise that there were still 2 types on SIM in circulation 'cos I thought that all SIMs would work in all mobiles (assuming they're unlocked and all that) these days? I am I just being naive?
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Yeh I believe the 3 SIM is for 3G phones only. Whereas the other carriers' sims work in 2G and 3G phones.

When there are no 3G cells in range a 3 phone is supposed to revert to T-mobile's 2G network however I guess they decided to prevent 2G phones doing this as it could get expensive for them if too many customers are using the out-sourced network perhaps.
[HTC Excalibur] mossywell:
Cheers for the reply. I since also tried it in an unlocked N73 (a phone that 3 sell or used to anyway) and that can't see the SIM either. So, I reckon it's time to call 3 and tell them I have a dud!

The think that gets me is that the SIM is a different layout to all those I've seen before, but the SIM-only deal says "if you want to keep your existing phone, get a SIM-onloy deal and provided the phone is unlocked, you're good to go" (or words to that effect). Hmmm... I'm not so sure.

One final question: I've hunted around for SIM specs but all I can find is a Russian site giving the PIN layouts of a couple of SIMs. But, can someone point me to a site that lists what kind of SIM (pin layout) is used with which kinds of phone?

Ahh - I thought I was getting one of these:

Hello guys,

I'm brand new here in the forum and would like to root my Fire TV2 ( Version 5.2.7.3 ). I know about rooting and already own a Fire TV2 that I successfully rooted myself a few years ago. I haven't really found much about this latest version. Just a Pre-Rooted 5.2.7.3 ROM ( from rbox ). But this is of no use to me without the SU and TWRP installed. Has anyone successfully rooted a Fire TV2 with this version and can help me ?

Hello Sus_i,

Thanks for the link. But I don't want to open the Fire TV Box for root. Isn't there an easier option for version 5.2.7.3, for example with the sideloading tool adblink for Windows? I could use it to install the SuperUser & TWRP Recovery.

Best regards

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxidoman:
Hello Sus_i,

I've changed my mind. There must always be a small risk with a root attempt. Otherwise the thrill is missing. Where can I find the required files ( python3, PySerial, adb, fastboot ) on the Internet? How do I get Linux to work on my Windows 7/10 Latop ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarvil:
One way is to create a bootable USB drive with Linux. See https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#1-getting-started for Ubuntu instructions.

The link in post 2 includes instructions for installing python3 and PySerial, if they are not already installed. Adb and fastboot are in the Android Platform Tools at https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.

Another way would be to run Linux in a VM under Windows.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
That's easy. Grab rufus (from rufus.ie) and an ubuntu iso, then flash ubuntu with rufus to an usb stick.

Boot it as live version (depends on your laptop, press F2, F12 or something like that for the boot menu) and connect to the internet.

Then just do all requirements from the root OP thread.

Most critical part is the shorting! Don't damage the resistor, best is to use some fine flexible copper cable... but never use sharp tools or steel!

If the short doesn't work within 10 seconds, disconnect power and usb, then try again.

Good luck :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxidoman:
Hello Guys,

Thanks for the information. I still have a few questions for understanding. I created a bootable usb stick with ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64 and now i can start ubuntu. I did not select Install rather l just try out and my latop is connected to my network via wifi. Then open a terminal and enter the following commands :

sudo apt update

sudo add-apt-repository universe

sudo apt install python3 python3-serial adb fastboot

Some downloads started automatically and the files were installed. The next command :

sudo apt remove modemmanager

Then I opened a new terminal in the amonet-sloane-v1.3 folder and entered the command :

sudo ./bootrom-step.sh

The following is now displayed on the screen

Picture

Is everything okay so far ?

I haven't opened the Fire TV box yet. Couldn't you first connect the USB cable for testing (without the short-circuit bridge between DAT0 and GND) to see if the connection works? I would then possibly expect the message :

Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0e8d: 2000 MediaTek Inc. MT65xx Preloader

Best regards

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarvil:
There are a couple of potential issues which may (or may not) cause problems.

1. The amonet log cannot be written due to a read-only file system. Try this command - "sudo chmod -R +w /cdrom/amonet-sloan-v1.3". That may or may not make the file system writable. If not, and if it does cause problems, do "mount | grep amonet" and let me know the output.

2. The adb and fastboot you installed using apt are probably not the latest versions. The latest versions are in the link I gave you above. You may not need the latest versions, though.

You can connect the USB cable without the short-circuit bridge. Execute the command "lsusb" and you should see the firestick. The file manager may also open, or you may be prompted to open the firestick with the file manager.

Sorry to be so vague, but I'd have to duplicate what you are doing to be more exact, and it has been a while since I have done it with my firestick 4k. Also, your Fire TV Box may produce different results than my firestick.

do "mount | grep cdrom" and let me know the output.

also how did you install the amonet zip file, and where can I get it?

If it is actually on a cdrom, you will have to copy it to the local file system. A cdrom is read-only.

Do "cp -r /cdrom/amonet-sloane-v1.3 ~" to copy it to your home directory.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxidoman:
Hi dcarvil,

I start Ubunto from the USB stick and select Try Ubunto. The amonet-sloane-v1.3 folder including bootrom-step.sh is also on the USB stick. I have downloaded adb and fastboot (tools_r30.0.4-linux) how do I install adb and fastboot? Unfortunately, I've never worked with Linux ...

My Fire TV is not yet connected to the laptop
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarvil:
You can try to remount cdrom as writable with this command "sudo mount -o remount,rw /cdrom". If that doesn't work, just copy /cdrom/amonet-sloane-v1.3 to your home directory using the command in post 11, and execute it from there.

I'd try the adb/fastboot you installed with apt first, as you may not need the latest version. If that doesn't work, these commands should install the zip you downloaded.

sudo apt remove adb fastboot

Change to the directory where you downloaded platform-tools_r30.0.4-linux.zip (presumably Downloads). "cd Downloads", if that is where it is. If not, also change it in the "export PATH" commands below.

unzip platform-tools_r30.0.4-linux.zip

export PATH=~/Downloads/platform-tools:$PATH

Execute "adb --version" to test.

echo "PATH=~/Downloads/platform-tools:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile

echo "export PATH >> ~/.profile

You see, the pl header gets wiped, just behind the RPMB thing. That is a feature: in case the script errors out, you're able to start it again 'without shorting'...

Just run the script again, without shorting this time...

My FireTv is running again :):laugh:. Thank you very much to all of you for the numerous tips. But I still have two questions.

2. Is it possible to flash older firmware directly with TWRP with this version (5.2.7.3)?
