[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
TY Indie Zex,

You understood correctly, and I did a full wipe of Dalvik Cache/Cache/System/Data. I was afraid you would say I lost my old 4.4.2., but I really just wanted some insurance to go back if things got messed up, which they did!

For the legacy OS, I assume I should be going with the very latest lineage file (2020-09-05 date)?

Question about Nougat vs Q or Pie - If I pick Nougat, is there a compatibility upgrade/update path via Nougat OS to get to Pie or Q, easily within the software just by selecting 'Update' option in the 'Settings'?

or if I ever want to add the latest Android OS like Pie or Q, I would have to again go thru the full swipe and re-load another ROM and the specific gapps for either Pie or Q.

I assume Q is still quite new and maybe buggy, but is Pie now very stable or still some unresolved issues? I know it might be difficult to answer, as there are always bugs in firmware version. Just trying to get a gauge for which would be safer to go with if I need to upgrade.

TY you again for being patient with a newbie :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
Yes, the latest one.

You always flash custom roms the same way in TWRP, you can not just update unfortunately. The next thing to pay attention to is to download correct version of gapps for Oreo or Pie roms (there are no Q roms for our tablet). You have probably seen this tutorial here for Pie https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/guide-tutorial-howto-lg-gpad-8-3-v500-t3967069. I have tried it as well as https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-crdroid-android-t3772076 but they both have broken camera unfortunately. Everything else is basically fine, with Oreo having better performance.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Rhetorical questions.

What's wrong with pressing the THANKS icon under Indie Zex's answers instead of writing "TY"?

.

Besides, if you were advised to install a very stable Nougat, why don't you try it first, before thinking about P and Q?

.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
Yes, I did see the Pie tutorial and did read through it, the non-working camera was certainly something I did not want. Good to know you have Oreo running on yours, and better performance.

So do you suggest I load Oreo vs Nougat?

For Oreo would I select v8 or v8.1? and what variant?

I found this info...I was thinking of Micro or Mini, thoughts? Can the V500 handle the memory requirements for these?

Variant:

Aroma: Graphical installer of the super package while in recovery menu, it allows user to select which applications to install.

Super: Includes all Google Apps that were ever shipped on a Google device.

Stock: Recommended package that contains all Google Apps that come standard on latest Nexus/Pixel phone.

Full : Very similar to Stock version.

Mini : Smaller set of popular Google Apps with extra functionality.

Micro: Limited set of Google Apps with Gmail, Calendar Google Now with extra functionality.

Nano : Minimal installation with extra functionality.

Pico : Minimum with Google Play functionality. (Each package varies with file sizes and included Google Apps)

TY again, much appreciated!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
You right Indie Zex, Thx for the patience...hit the Thx icons for you!:D

Can you just take a few secs to answer my last few questions in last post, please?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
No, as a matter of fact I have Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL installed on TWRP version 3.3.1-0.

There is only one version of Oreo for our tablet: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-crdroid-android-t3772076. I have tried it, it runs nicely but camera DOES NOT work just like in Pie version (which is a little bit choppy for my taste).

I wouldn't go above micro, 2GB of ram is a little bit tight. But hey, if you like Google so much try and see how it runs. ;)

Since you already have latest TWRP version installed, I suggest you go with latest lineage rom (2020-09-05) with gapps of your choice. For Oreo and other older roms you need to flash older TWRP version, such as above mentioned 3.3.1-0 (and please do not ask how :p).

And finally I wanna say this: don't worry if you mess something up, you already have and you certainly will again :laugh:. There is a wonderful world of flashing roms (and wasting your precious time :D) ahead of you, so go boldly into the unknown! :fingers-crossed:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
I guess I misunderstood you earlier on which rom you where using, thought it was Oreo. Does the camera function with this Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL? Based on the Variant list I posted, how would you categorize this rom?

I am intrigued, I thank you for the words of encouragement, just a bit intimidating this world, but I am willing to try! :D
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
Camera (and everything else) works on all Nougat (and earlier) roms. Differences between them come down to customization: for example Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL and crDroid Android 4.7 offer more customization options compared to LineageOs, but are two years old. Latest Lineage, on the other hand, has literally last month security patches. And I suggest you install them all, one at a time :D
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
I followed your instructions...at least I'm pretty sure I did. lol

I got an install Error 20, it says to download the correct version for my rom 6.0.1

I went with the GAPPS file (ARM, 7.1, micro)

Does this mean I cannot use the micro variant?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
Hm, the error suggests that you have 6.0.1 rom which you tried to flash with 7.1 gapps. Just in case, download older version twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img and flash it in TWRP:

1. Copy twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img from computer to internal storage of a tablet

2. In main menu of TWRP select Install, then Install Image

3. Choose twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img and flash it (IMPORTANT: do not reboot right away!)

4. Go back to main menu then press Reboot and select Recovery

5. You will boot to recovery again, now the older version

6. Now flash rom ONLY (whichever Nougat variant you want) with standard described procedure (with wipe and everything) and reboot

7. Once you are in system, check it out and come back later into TWRP to install correct gapps (yes, you can use micro)

And let me know did you make it in about 8 hours, it's late here so I have to sleep :D
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
Hi Indie Zex,

I read your above instructions, but somewhat confused.

I looked for twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img but can't seem to find it, has the file name changed?

I went to the link page you provided (below) for your Resurrection Remix build, and the Rom available there was RR-N-v5.8.5-20171001-v500-Final.zip

2. Flash older version of TWRP first and then install that older Lineage, or some other rom (for example I have TWRP version 3.3.1-0 and Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL which works flawlessly https://xdaforums.com/lg-...3-oms-t3601456)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
Download twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img from official page here https://dl.twrp.me/v500/

Yep, that is the "newest" one which I have installed. If download link is broken, you can get rom from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261778561
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
Before I try to flash my tablet with twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img, what do I need to do with the lineage-14.1-20200905-UNOFFICIAL-v500.zip that I ran and is still in Internal storage. Can I just delete via my computer, or do I need to remove it thru TWRP?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
If you don't need it anymore, you can delete it via computer. It doesn't really matter when you install .img file. When you select install image in main menu of TWRP you won't see any other files except for .img ones. Just make sure to reboot to recovery instead of reboot to system to continue with installing rom.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargreen:
Great TY.

So from yesterday when my install failed, I just need some direction on what do I do to get out of this screen, please.

I have the option button to Wipe Cache/Dalvik or Reboot System.

Do I need to hit the Wipe button to remove the lineage-14.1-20200905-UNOFFICIAL-v500.zip? Or Wipe anything else?

Or do I just go back to the main menu for TWRP and install the twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img and follow the rest of your instructions?

TY again.

[General Questions and Answers] paulckruger:
I cannot find any relevant results on Google search for this.

I know all about scanning a QR code that I can focus my camera lens on such as a piece of paper etc.

If the code is an image that resides on my phone I cannot figure out any way to scan that?

Where this came up was related to a product with a download for an APK related to the file and the dumb asses did not provide any actual URL just a QR code. But it's on the cell phone screen. So how can I scan a code that is on the screen of the phone either on a web page or a downloaded QR code as an image file?

Is there an app that allows me to actually browse to a web site or to an image to be scanned and not require being able to point the camera at it?

Ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] micahs:
I had the exact same issue and there didn't seem to be much of any info about how!

The simplest way I've found is to screenshot the QR code and open it in Google Photos. Then let Google Lens scan it. (Very bottom, third icon on the right.)

I've tried this on:

Pixel 3a XL on 11 (Stock)

Pixel 2 XL running 11 (Stock)

Moto X4 with 9 (Stock)

MotoXPure2015 running 9 (LineageOSv16 w/ Magisk)

It's worked on each of these phones. ymmv

I removed TAGS due to bug in the forum.

You specified a tag that was too short. A tag must be at least 3 characters. ( none were under 4 characters but refused to get past that error message.

Does anyone know how to configure the softkeys in the Messaging application (tmail or poutlook... not sure which one handles the messages)

I just rooted my OP7P(OOS103.5). It's been like 5 years since I last rooted a phone, so I have a few questions that may sound dumb and may be repetitive to y'all.

From what I can tell Magisk is today's Xposed, but it has way less modules. Xposed had hundreds? Thousands?

Should I be using EdXposed as a module source instead of Magisk? Where's the best place to go looking for modules?

Should I have a busybox installed at all times or is that just for specific things?

What's a good adblocker?

What's a good debloater?

What modules do you use and find essential?

Sorry for asking questions that have probably already been asked, but many thanks to anyone who bothers answering!:o

Same questions. I'll be doing some digging and may reply to this thread since it was high on one of my searches (I believe it was "magisk vs. supersu").

In a perfect world, a mod would reply with a link to some current threads with answers, but that may be too much to ask.

Edxposed is very outdated and totally deprecated.

LSPosed is the best xposed ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Bandage:
(thought this might be worth it's own thread...hope it helps!)

I modified the MOGA XP5-X+ for use with the Fold, since the clips are obviously too small

I cut off the prongs that hold the phone, and attached a magnet (like the flat car mount type without stand). I use the magnets everywhere for my phone mounts, lol...car, bedside, office, bathroom wall in front of the throne. You get it.

With the metal plate inside my case I am able to place the Fold onto the magnet (mostly secure...think I need a stronger magnet than the one I'm using).

**Update...used stronger magnet now, much more secure. I can flip it upside down without it detaching.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] MrRoy3:
You can use both

Magisk is today's SuperSU, so it grants root access to the applications who request it using a toast notification (where you can allow/decline access)

You can also install modules systemlessly in Magisk (instead of flashing a .zip in TWRP, you install it in Magisk)

For instance, you can install EdXposed in Magisk, then you can install all the Xposed modules you want through EdXposed manager.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] ankerede:
Hi, I had Poco F1 before with working VoLTE, so I know that my carrier and current Sim card is supporting it. All I had to do on the F1 was typing in that code *#*#86583#*#* and activating the new volte setting.

I tried that with the X3 but it's not working. Whenever I receive/make a phone call my connection will switch from 4G to 3G.

Is there a workaround or is it a hardware limitation? I could imagine because the X3 just has an entry level SOC that the modem has some artificial restrictions to differentiate from the flagship SOC (845/865).

If you got the VoLTE was disabled message after entering the code, go to SIM settings and there will show the option to activate VoLTE. If not appears, try to enter the code again and check the SIM settings.

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

I think using different bands it's more about regional ROMs construction (Global, India, Europe etc) than changing region in ROM settings. Alternative, you can flash a different regional ROM using MiFlash and see if it helps with your problem.

Can't you see the specific VoLTE symbol near mobile signal in the upper right corner of the screen?

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] elzazo:
Hi Poco X3 Users, I 've just found what you're looking for!

I live in Italy and I got the proper code to enable this stuff. Please understard that I'm translating straight from Italian phone labels, so labels may not be accurate, but are there!

1) Dial *#*#4636#*#* and an internal menu "Verify" should pop up.

2) Your "Provisioning Volte" should be toggled to Off at the moment. At this point open a new phone dialer and type *#*#86583#*#* and an on screen label should come (ignore it because it seems to say the opposite).If you now go back to the Verify menu it should tell you that the Provisioning volte is On, although it's still grey.

2.1) Since you're fixing stuff, dial *#*#869434#*#* so that you can enable calls over Wifi as well.

2.2) Since Poco X3 supports Dual Volte if you own two SIMs with two Volte Carriers enable the other one as well, repeating the steps on point 2)

3) Go to Sim Cards and mobile networks --> Go to the SIM you're using (one of the upper big boxes) --> You should now see a new option "Use VoLTE", already enabled.

You should see an option to enable Calls over Wifi as well, with a preference over Wifi or Mobile Network.

Strange thing I've checked with a test call and it does not say HD, but the guy with the other phone got the signal bars with the "LTE" label on it.I'll do other tests and I'll get back with the result.

You're done! I have screenshots of the entire procedure if you want. Hope this helped!
