[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
first, just to be clear, i am not a cooker and have no interest in "locked" or "unlocked" roms. i am very content and grateful with the roms i get from here. i am donating to every body i think deserves it, i try to keep the forum clean and to help my fellow forum members and the moderators.

i had to quote the first post in order to remind everybody how this thread started and what the main question was.

so the answer is obvious: ppl don't want to share things anymore at the same level they used to. they do share the ROM (blackboxed/locked) but are not ready to share the knowledge.

everything else that it was said after this is not relevant.

-have the cooks the right to lock their roms? i think the answer is yes. it seems to me strange that after changing somebody's else work they try to block anybody else trying to modify their work but the answer is still yes, they do have the right.

-is this in the spirit of the forum? i think the answer is no.

there is nothing new to be brought in rom cooking. tried a few roms and the differences are almost impossible to note for my unprofessional, user only eye, 2-3 mb more or less, one or 2 programs more and less, 3 bugs in this one 4 in the other one. now i am choosing my roms by the quality of support the cooker is providing and by his reputation. i will never jump and flash a rom signed by some ace223 i've never heard about before. i'll never trust my expensive device to some unknown cooker that can not provide me with support afterward, so i do not think that the cookers should be afraid of cheap copies.

the donation thing is really, really marginal and am sure that ppl so talented have a better way to make a living than cooking roms for the (most of the time) ungrateful users here.

share? i watched the "sim unlock" threads becoming "taboo" and coming and vanishing in a blink of the eye. some of us know why, i don't know, i can only guess because i was advised that i'll better not ask. ;)

what next? more and more talented ppl are building their own site or already own one. very soon we'll see commercial apps and roms sold on the dev's site. no need to bring it here. but then who'll beta-test?:eek:

hope didn't step on anybody's toes....

my opinion

guys,

few days ago I already read some posts on this and now I feel free to post my opinion.

First of all, RESPECT to all the cooks! You're really doing a good job on this.

As everybody has diffrent ideas how the "perfect" rom should look like we only have the way to grab the cooked stuff which comes close enough to it.

I also tried to modify/recook Bepe's 0.95 ( You're the man, Bepe! ) Rom but only for one reason:

The idea of this rom is nearly what I'am looking for excepting a few things such as all the MS stuff and some other apps.

-MS IE

-MS Office

-MP3 Trimmer

-YouTube

Just to name some................

What I tried to do was to cook Bepe's Rom ( which is protected ) and to cancel out all the stuff I do not need to create my Rom based on his.

Unfortunatly this is not possible. I also understand tha every cook will have his Rom signed that everybody will recognize the work ( reminds me on that ego-feed post :) ) It isn't possible for timely reason to cook Roms for each individual/user, with all the respect, If I want to cook another cooks Rom it will only mean that I trust in his work and may got reasons to choose his one
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chatty:
I heard it is when you dump the formerly flashed protected ROM an recreate all the .nb's.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tha_rami:
It's simple: creators of anything are free to do with it what they went. Heck, if they'd require you to **** your pants and film it before you would get a single-use download link, that would've been completely legal.

The basic premise is simply: you make something, you make the rules. We can whine, we can complain, we can say it goes against the forums' spirit...

But as long as people don't release under GNU/GPL, or anything else that is unlawful, it's their call.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Prinz069:
same as before

@rami, do you think so?

If I would be able to cook Roms and provide them to the board, I wouldn't protect them. For me it would be kind of honor if somebody will use mine to re-cook. Anyways, what do you think Microsoft will say if they know ( and they do ) that somebody officially provides a reengineered OEM version of their operating system?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mondilv:
Why not, it's really interesting, I do it second month:D

But stupid "to invent bicycle" again. I did think before, that "community" means summary work for total result.

Here - looks like false competition.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Prinz069:
@mondilv

I agree with you. But why do we need to invent the wheel a third time?

The cooks already received their props, so why can't we finish their work? Finish in sense of cooking the individually perfect Rom.

If I was a cook, I would like to serve the perfect dinner. And everybody could salt&pepper his menue himself :D

Anyways, Thumbs up for their respectful work....

Sorry for the post, my question didn't really get answered on the General Q&A Nood Friendly Thread:

After posting, I tried follow this guide thread

I was able to do step 1 which is to unlock but, I don't know if I should still be flashing a Stock Fastboot ROM?

Also there is no link for TWRP, or which version of TWRP I should get...

The last time I rooted something was a Galaxy Note 2 back in 2012-ish so my relevant knowledge is definitely expired.

Please give me a lead on where to find the correct TWRP file and further instructions.

you want step by step guide to flash custom rom?

- You have unlocked bootloader?

Dont worry i will help you in best of my knowledge i have been through what you are going after some time i learned answer question and we will begin
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Xenophoresis:
Yes, my bootloader is already unlocked and fastboot was enabled.

No Fastboot ROM (if that is necessary) or TWRP is installed yet.

PS: I do not know where or which TWRP I should be getting for this phone

Good luck

I was hoping to get instructions or help in English; I've watched his YouTube tutorial in Indian but I was afraid that I'd do something wrong because I didn't understand what he said.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] timeo78:
You can follow the instructions provided for LOS:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/tissot/install

Simply exchange the LOS installing part with the ROM of your choice.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Xenophoresis:
Thank you, I'm done with the custom rom and root :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] royalasif:
Sorry for late reply i couldn't login because of xda forum migration process

steps i used:

- install Twrp (download latest version details below)

- download custom rom and gapps (and transfer it into sdcard or internal storage or your phone)

- download Adb/fastboot tool and drivers (download it in windows pc install it details below)

- Install Twrp (download it from https://dl.twrp.me/tissot/) there are 2 files .zip and .img you would need fastboot and adb drivers https://androiddatahost.com/uq6us install adb minimal in location where of your choice copy twrpX.XXXX.img file beside adb/fastboot.exe , from start menu open command prompt right click run as administrator locate to adb/fastboot folder .

Power off your mi a1 when its powerd off hold down volume down and power button until you see fastboot mode on the phone connect it to pc wait for drivers to install let me know if you need in this regard. Inside command prompt run " fastboot devices " if you see device with bunch of numbers below than it means your phone is connected and drivers are working than enter this command " fastboot boot twrpXX.XXXX.img " it will take no more than 5 seconds your phone will turn on into twrp recovery there you can copy twrpxx.xxx.zip file to your internal storage or sd card flash it when its done restart -> Recovery.

Warning: After flashing twrp zip dont restart to system if you do your phone will show you message that phone has been destroyed so dont restart .

- Installing custom roms: download custom rom of your choice transfer it into internal or sd card from twrp install-locate to custom rom .zip file and flash it also keep in mind lots of roms didn't include gapps so you have to download it from opengapps(for android 8-10) and nikgapps(android 11). Flash gapps . Keep in mind after installing custom roms you will lose twrp recovery so if you want twrp at this stage go ahead and install it

- If you want root access download and flash magisk

Its always good practice to keep stock rom and xiaomi flash tool with you just in case if something goes wrong you can reflash stock rom and boot normally.

Let me know if you need help

[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Questions & Answers] javi_ruizs:
Hello everybody!

I have bought an unlocked VZW S10 5G from the US and I'm using it in Spain with Movistar as a carrier.

I have a big permanent question on my mind and I can't seem to find a right answer to it anywhere on the web.

As far as I know, the modem this phone has is the Qualcomm X50 modem, which is supposed to be for both Sub6 and mmWave bands (https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-x50-5g-modem). Nevertheless, Samsung only lists mmWave frequencies on their specs page (see specs at the end of the page https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/galaxy-s10-5g-verizon/)

I know that here in Europe we are not deploying 5G the same way it has been done in the US, since the bands that are becoming available are Sub6.

Eventhough it's currently poorly deployed here in Spain, the only band that is available at the moment is the one at 3500 MHz (n78, I think). I've read they'll soon make the band at 700 MHz available, too.

When using the Samsung Selection app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection), I only see the bands n260 and n261, which I know are the available mmWave bands in the US, and the B bands that are used for 4G/LTE and previous.

My questions are the following:

1. Will I ever be able to connect to 5G through some LTE bands or won't that be possible?

2. Could it be that Verizon has disabled the sub6 bands for this phone via SW?

3. Could I use B bands at the same frequency instead? For example, the b42 band, which is also at 3500 MHz, is not listed, but maybe in the near future when the 700 MHz band gets released, will I be able to use the the b12 band, which is also 700 MHz?

I would appreciate any contributions you could make!

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Questions & Answers] olkitu:
1. No you can't use 5G in Spain with this phone because it doesn't support 5G band n78.

2. Modems are configured by Qualcomm and you can't just modify these because these are signed.

3. No you can't really...

Also good check basic Carrier Aggregation combination support by this device. If you like Contribute my site cacombos.com/contribute your device QMDL log with scat I like to add this device to site.

But my advise if you like have 5G in Spain, then you need European version of Samsung phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
I have had the phone for a week now. It's a nice phone but I'm paranoid about scratching the camera. I spent a couple of hours looking at camera protectors and am concerned about image distortion with flash. I see a lot of complaints about that, though I do see many posts saying that there is no problem. I was thinking that a case with built-in camera protection would be great. I saw this:

https://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-CamS...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JV55AX2C6Y5TM9QFN4AP

It has a door that slides over the camera when not in use. It looks like a thin case though, and that it might have a problem with actually protecting the phone from drops. I also would have concerns that sliding the door over the camera might actually scratch it if there is any grit under the door.

Does a good case with camera protection even exist?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sammieboy:
Just get a case with a good camera lip and pick up a cheap 3 dollar Dbrand skin for the camera to protect against scratches...

That's what I did....forget the glass protectors...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
Thanks. I also found this, but having anything resting on the camera glass that could shift around at all seems like a really bad idea.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sammieboy:
I tend to shy away from cases like this bc dirt, debris can sneak in there given enough time....and may end up scratching the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sammieboy:
You can pick up just the camera skin and it'll do the trick for scratch protection... View attachment 5132165
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
That looks like what I want. Any recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sammieboy:
I recommend going to dbrands website. They have a tool that lets you see what it would look like on your phone. They have about 15 or so skins for the camera bump.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] airmaxx23:
I suggest one of the metal camera screen protectors from Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
Interesting. There is no chance that something metal will damage the camera glass?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Samsung has a lense protector built into the rear cover.

Simply find a good case that has raised edges around the cam module.

Try to keep your fingers off of it ie don't use it to grab the phone out of your pocket. Clean occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth.

I've been using the Bolt case for my 10+, easy to grip, great drop protection and doesn't attract dirt.

The phone's cam lense cover doesn't have even a slight scratch after over a year... and I live in the desert.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] airmaxx23:
There's a layer of adhesive on the protector so the metal never actually touches the glass.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] phramulo:
I've tried searching, but I keep getting that my searches turn up nothing despite the search terms being in several posts.

Basically, I've tried 3 roms and a ton of radios, but my phone loses its signal during extended conversations (either through sms or messengers like octro). It goes from 3-4 bars with data connection to nothing at all for a short period of time, and then the signal returns 2-3 bars with data connection.

This leads me to suspect that it's not -really- dropping the signal (or it would have to reconnect to data right?) but temporarily 'forgetting' it has the connection.

:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scotchua:
That's probably a hardware issue, not a software issue, or else changing roms and radios should have cleared it up.

Hello,

This is a long shot but hope you can help.

I rooted a spare device to test something, no custom rom was installed, the standard one was retained on the device.

I have downloaded the necessary ROM from SamMobile and while the phone is now booting ok, I am unable to enrol it in my companies MDM solution as it states there is a custom ROM installed and device is compromised.

Is there a way to reset this so that I can enrol it again?

Thanks

When you rooted you likely tripped the efuse which will not change. Your phone will always show as Knox 0x1 (if memory serves me correctly) and will be classed as compromised.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Sathish Rajasekaran:
Hello, While charging my pixel 5 using the official charger, the charge connects and disconnects over and over, probably half second gaps in between.

This happens when device reaches 47% and if the environment is dark ,but when I turn on room light ,this does not happen. It happened during my first charge cycle and second one.

I've done as many debugging steps as I can, and I am certain this is a bug.

Root issue: charger connects and disconnects over and over.

Can someone confirm if anyone is facing the same issue and if it's a software thing?

I've encountered this, but only with my 5 port Aukey charger that does not support PD on its USB-C port and it happens once battery is charged over 10%. Someone on Reddit also had this only with 5 port charger without PD support.

Issue does not happen on official charger from the box for me.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Sathish Rajasekaran:
Hello All,

Update on the original issue:

Tried to replicate the same issue in bright environment today, below is the behaviour:

1. Connected the device to charger when the battery percent is at 16%.

2. I did not notice any issue until the device is charged up to 60%. After that the charge connects and disconnects over and over for 4 times with 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes time interval. After that it's all good.

I think the fix that Google has pushed for battery percent issue is causing this.

Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Rebel7022:
I have not noticed this on my pixel, I would call up Google tell them that you want to return the phone and make sure they don't charge a restocking fee. Tell them that you've been really inconvenienced by this and that you do not want to be charged the restocking fee, Then rebuy the phone again. That's the only way you'll guarantee the phone will be new.

If my phone was doing that I would be heated
[Verizon LG G3] regisconde:
Hello, guys! My first post on XDA. A few days ago I bought in AliExpress a motherboard for an old cell phone LG G3 model D855 . I received a motherboard model VS985, which I mounted on the frame of my old cell phone. Everything worked perfectly, except the camera (and the flash light), which always crashes when I want to use it (only selfie camera turns on by default). Looking at the motherboards, you can see that they are slightly different near the camera connector. My question is whether the camera for the VS985 model is different from the camera for the D855 model. Could anyone tell me?
