[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UglyStuff:
I agree with you in principle, but if I must take an example: I have this Early 2006 MacBook Pro with a Core Duo CPU that precludes me from even installing Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" on it, because the CPU is 32-bit-only, and Lion requires a 64-bit CPU.

The machine itself works very well, albeit a bit slowly, but then it's got only 2 GB of RAM and a 120-GB SSD. When I got fed-up with OS X applications not updating/upgrading and Firefox addons not installing because my copy of Firefox was too old, I partitioned the SSD, installed rEFInd as boot manager, and installed Zorin 15.2 (now 15.3) Lite 32-bit.

I now spend more time on the Linux side of this Mac than on the OS X side, and updating/upgrading it is a breeze, either via the dedicated application or in Terminal. I know there'll be an end-of-the-line there too, someday, but at least I'll keep using this Mac until it truly dies on me, not when Apple tells me it's dead.

This, for me, is the very essence of open-source: Not just the fact that it's free, but that you can revive an old machine and keep it running long after Apple et al have decided that it had gone the way of the dinosaurs.

The same doesn't apply to Android, alas. Here, you must have a compatible SoC/chipset/what-have-you, a Treble-compatible device, you must have this, you must have that...

In the end, only a fraction of Android users really get to enjoy everything their device has to offer for as long as they choose; the others just pop into the nearest phone store, be it brick-and-mortar or cyber, and must produce their credit card.

My question was as much a challenge to myself as anything else. I would really like to learn how Android works, but the tutorials and articles I've found here and there are all a bit cryptic.

That's why I'm regularly prowling this forum, I guess.

"Hunting high and low", as the song goes... :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiitsrudd:
yep, good question but google & manufactures are in it for the moola not the users 2 yr old phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UglyStuff:
Don't I know it! It's true that even budget phones have decent specs nowadays, still, why dump a perfectly functioning phone simply because you can't update/upgrade the software?

I understand Google's rationale, of course: They invest tons of money year after year after year to keep the whole boat afloat, and they need a steady income. OK. Still, to not be able to keep your phone ***safe*** is a no-go for me.

I'm seriously beginning to think about installing Ubuntu Touch on the device. I think I'm going to try that next weekend.

I'll probably come back here with my eyes red, asking for help in unbricking my phone, though. :rolleyes:

Stay tuned! :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiitsrudd:
A followup, if you are mindful of your own security it's conceivable to get more usage of that android. I don't use a banking app, but if need be use a good browser( thats updated of course) And update all often used apps via playstore. I'm still running Oreo on my phone. FYI you iOS ppl need to do critical updates asap

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] AhmedMomen:
The september security patch is out for the Note 8, 9, 10 and 20 and also for S9, S10 and for alot of midrange phones like A21 and A50,51 and A70, A71 etc.. , All of these received it. And the S20 series (at least the exynos model) hasn't yet.

It makes no sense for them to release the september patch for all these devices but not for their latest S series phones which used to be the first in the line to receive these updates.

I think i heared that the SD model received it a week ago, but the exynos didnt yet, I wonder what's the reason behind this.

Could it be that the september patch will bring some improvements or something? Is it because of something related to OneUI 3 or the beta? i dont know, what do you think?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _Nomad_:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny6514:
and...there will be no negative effects?

i "heard" that there is a chance of bricking the device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _Nomad_:
There might be a possibility to brick the device if for instance the power went out during the flashing, not sure though... Even so, flashing an SPL will take about 10 seconds, so you'll need to be really unlucky for that to occur...

Otherwise there are no negative effects whatsoever. If for some reason you need to return your device for warranty issues, simply flash a stock SPL and you're good to go...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
Yeah yeah. I know that we've seen the news about Poco and other 845 SoC based phone from Mi Series. Since the rollout of Android 11 on Pixel devices few days ago, there are many new features on Android 11 that I would like to add on Poco but since that Xiaomi promised us to get two major os updates (which are Android P and Android Q) it will most likely will stop on Android Q. But I have high hopes for Poco getting Android 11, MIUI based or not.

What are your thoughts about this?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lockhrt999:
Xiaomi has already cleared that poco f1 isn't getting android 11. It's not on their roadmap. We'll get miui 12 and maybe even 13 looking at the past experience. MIUI version are major upgrades for Xiaomi phones. Android versions like 9.0, 10.0 are practically just numbers to show off and that hardly adds any features on xiaomi phones.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] EP21:
You're on xda forums not miui. The one thing you should be worried about is device sources and community developer support not miui.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
Yes I'm fully aware of that. But even though if I posted this on MIUI Forums, I still get the same answers from both Forums.

I highly doubt that someone can use blobs from MIUI 12 Android 10 to start from scratch to build a port to Android 11.

I forgot what device that was, I've experienced this coming back from 2018 when they used blobs from Android M to port and build Android N and that was stable enough they officially launched an official build.

Maybe my intuition was wrong or not, maybe someone from the Poco dev or even from the Poco community might wanna build and port Android 11 and might be one of the biggest breakthroughs of all time. Of course if it is stable enough to be a daily driver. I know that it is hard because of lack of blobs coming from Xiaomi's MIUI but maybe, someone will do it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
Yeah, Android 9 and 10 is kinda bummer because of lack of feature other than setting apps permissions which is great for me.

Android 11 has tons of new features like their improved privacy app features, the new smart device control quick settings which I really need because I have smart devices at home, improved notification and more.

I know these things can be treated on 3rd party apps but who wants to add more apps on their phone and maybe eat the battery on the background.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mecoromeo:
This is highly unlikely. Check piunikaweb they already mentioned there that a moderator from MIUI forums clarified that we'll get miui12, but unlikely to get Android 11. If you really want 11. Then wait for custom ROMS, but it may not be full MIUI Android 11 ports, rather from Pixel ports (one has already been released)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
Yeah. Hopefully. Even if it is a port, or a custom ROM, I would still install that on my device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lockhrt999:
You misunderstand me. Even if they give android 11, the actual features don't arrive with the update. You will have to wait couple of years more to see native features of android 11 to implement into their MIUI ecosystem.

For example, custom DNS was introduced with Android 7.0 or 8.0 but it really came to xiaomi devices with MIUI 11 in 2020 year only.

On Xiaomi devices going from android 10 or 11 is as unsubstantial like changing security patch from august to september. Most of the people won't notice anything different.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] DaveCZ:
We will 100% get Android 11 as a custom rom. As a matter of fact, it already is a thing. (Search xda) We won't get it officially as all non-pixel devices get only 2 android upgrades.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] @ sanjay sahu:
As far as XDA is there with active dev's updates offically from miui isn't a big deal for me ! Although our dev's are far more better than offical miui cause custom Rom are becoming far more Stabler than stock and in features . :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] EP21:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougie175:
I have recently unlocked and rooted my FTV 4K sticks which is working great with Wolf Launcher.

Something which I have always wanted to do which could now be possible is for the power button on the remote to send an ir command to turn off/ on the tv. But also send a home command to the Fire Stick, this means whatever is playing will pause and the tv will retunr to the main menu, due to the way I stream live tv forgetting to press home is annoying before turning off the tv.

Is this possible not that my sticks are unlocked and rooted? If so can anyone explain what is the best app / method to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougie175:
Thanks could you expand a little further on this or point me to a topic that may help me understand how to achieve what I am looking to achieve

I am guessing that single command "adb shell input keyevent 26" doesn't make the power button act as a power button as well as a home button just in that simple single line of command?

Thanks very much
