it works very well, the interface is nice. I tried a lot of other recoveries and found it deserved to be the top choice. It would be great if there were instructions to install it.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MATTIA SALA:
Sorry but I did not understand how to install it. I should flash the

file present in the TWRP folder, recovery.img, and then copy the entire zip into my smartphone and then flash that (which includes the folder with the recovery.img present)?

I have no custom recovery installed

Sorry for my bad english...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rebelpierre@gmail.com:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lapeno022:

How do I swap the navigation buttons, left and right?

I don't use it like this.

adb shell

settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"

Does it work on 10 Android ?
[Moto G9 Plus Questions & Answers] mrsiri:
I never tried editing the nav at buttons, but if that doesn't work, you could try downloading a third party program from google play and using that one instead by disabling the built in one.

I recently have been unable to receive text messages on my mda. I put my sim card in a dash and I am able to receive text messages, so I know it has something to do with my phone. Can anyone please help?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] technologyone:
Oh and one more thing...

I forgot to mention that when I sent a test message from the dash, i noticed that the keys on my MDA lit up as if I was receiving a text, but nothing came through. Is it a way I can change where my text can be delivered to. Say a different folder?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] gotsaved289:
I'm trying to help a friend out who has this wonderful phone. Is there a way for the unlocked US model to utilize Verizons Nation wide 5g? I know it won't work with the mm wave but curious about the nation wide 5g since it uses a different antenna. Any help would be appreciated. I did search the forums and didn't see an answer to this specific question.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
Hey, you can follow my guide for the Note 20 here. You really just need to get into the service mode and enable dss.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] KPMcClave:
There was a firmware update pushed out for the Verizon variant (and other phones) that activated lowband 5G access. The update for the unlocked version has not yet been released.

Does that just do the same thing as your fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
As it relates to 5g, yes. The verizon push my have other updates and enhancements for the phone, but enabling 5G DSS and the n5 band is done by the software update changing the service mode settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] KPMcClave:
Thanks. The CSC change isn't required for this, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
No. You want the csc to show vzw/vzw/xaa in software information under about phone in settings, but the unlocked fe model will automatically set this. If it is a carrier version fe, you may need to. For example a t-mobile branded one, you would want to see vzw/vzw/tmb
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Superguy:
Do any of those options work on the Exynos versions?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Seandrea29:
I use this method

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-20-ultra/how-to/guide-service-mode-csc-guide-enable-lte-t4182293. I bought s20fe Unlocked directly from Samsung and I'm with Verizon. And I have that 5G icon instead of LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
Exynos models have a service mode, as long as as you are only working with LTE and not 5g, there are options to work with. The exynos model doesn't have a 5g modem or antennas for 5g service.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Does this activate 5g UWB???
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
It could, I have a UW model so it is hard for me to test. My understanding though is the U1 models are built without the the UW antennas, which if so, would make it impossible without hardware changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
Hi Guys,

A strange one: since getting my Note 20, I noticed it won't connect to majority of public WiFis in supermarkets, etc. My old S8 was connecting fine to the same spots.

It does connect fine to password-protected networks, the issue seems to be specifically with public WiFi spots that require registration.

What exactly happens: I connect to a public WiFi, it then opens the WiFi portal asking to enter the details to register. I do that and then it closes the page and says "No Internet" and asking to disconnect from the WiFi or keep it on without internet. In some places, it won't even bring the WiFi portal for details and just says "No Internet".

My S8 was connecting fine in the same spots and these are spots that definitely have WiFi, for example, in hospitals, supermarkets, etc.

Forgetting the WiFi and reconnecting doesn't help nor "resets" the connection as it seems the WiFi app on the phone still storing that info.

Did any of you experience this before? I thought it might be because I have some packages disabled via Package Disabler but I enabled all the packages, restarted the phone to no avail.

Can't think of anything else and don't want to do a factory reset either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] fkofilee:
I have this issue in some places too. Most notably in St Pancras Rail Station... It will instantly kick me off. I wonder if its to do with MAc Randomisation?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
I was thinking the same and disabled MAC randomisation with no luck.

By the way I also live in the UK and this issue happens in many places - had it today in hospital trying to connect to NHS WiFi, then had it on train trying to connect to SouthWest Trains wifi, then in ASDA, Sainsbury's... My S8 was working just fine. Can't believe all public hotspots magically stopped working.

I wonder if there is something in the phone / Android version that doesn't work right. Or maybe some silly settings I changed. Don't want to factory reset though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
By the way, I couldn't enter download mode to wipe cache partition. I tried volume up + power key combination. Is it different in HK version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
Today I took my old S8 to the same place. S8 connects to public wifi without issues, Note 20 Ultra doesn't connect, it says no widi available. So this is definitely software issue but not sure what it is.

Did anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] RISHI RAJ:
You have to connect your phone to pc or laptop to enter in download or recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Have a look here.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
After playing around I have found the root cause: Private DNS. It was set to 1dot1dot1dot.cloudflare-dns.com. Disabling it allowed the device to connect to a public wifi. Might be useful for the others who experienced the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Ok, so it was user error then ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
Hi Guys,

My second post today.

I am using GBoard but noticed 2 pesky bugs: 1. When typing long messages, for example, in this forum, the keyboard stuck for a minute. Completely stuck and then goes back to normal 2. The correction suggestion is not good at all, sometimes I type a wrong word and it suggests the same wrong word in the correction suggestions which is confusing as it should only display the correct one.

Have any of you experience this?

Also, is there a decent alternative to GBoard? I was always using Samsung's own keyboard but it is not good in HK version so had to switch to GBoard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
I use Swiftkey beta

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.beta
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kolikadezso:
Yes, sometimes I can't see what I'am typing. It is seems like bug or something but somebody said it is maybe connection with the high refrest rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I've used virtually the same Samsung keyboard for 6 years.

Find it very distracting to try to migrate even the colors/shades let alone layout.

I use Samsung themes that support that keyboard look I like.

I also "shop" themes for the theme I like for the phone and texting. Everything else I custom load after those ie icon pack and wallpaper.

Google apps run good, then Google improves them, then Google ruins them.

It's Google's nature.

I have zero faith in Google; Google taught me this time and time again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Suntaina:
I can recommend SwiftKey, works perfectly and we even get a custom Samsung theme only made for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
I'm using Samsung′s one because it's the only one that supports Your Phone. Plus with keys café it's fully customizable, especially the layout.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
SwiftKey, I recommend it every time. If there's a word that is incorrect you can simply long it and remove it from the prediction list.

Customize it to your liking.

My go to customizations: long-press duration mine set to 171

Vibration 2ms, sound off, choode one or create your own theme, size and location, cursor control
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
Thanks a lot, everyone! Very helpful!

I installed Swiftkey but didn't like it.

After searching play store I ended up installing Yandex Keyboard that looks very much like Samsung Keyboard. Like it so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] drrkgupta:
I liked the Gboard Keyboard. It supports local langauage typing as well as one can use the spen to wrtie in local langauage.

Also the Voice support is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] FlamingGoat:
Still using Swype here. Love it and restore onto every phone using titanium backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dingolino:
Me too ;-)

Tried now a couple of weeks Swiftkey, but the recognition rate for "swyping" is still significantly better on Swype. Swiftkey is driving me crazy some times.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] zloynavseh:
Dear friends, Does anyone know how i can get LTE label instead of 4G? For rooted device, may be some of module will help me? I know, this is the same, only for look customization.

THX!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I believe substratum can achieve this.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Shipoftheline:
Is this possible so I can get everything the UK version gets including working Volte?

Btw already on EU/UK Firmware. no Volte options
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Unlike older oneplus devices. The radios on these current devices are fixed and don't change when flashing with different region.

Example , if IN2023 doesn't have LTE band 71 and 66 it won't have it if you flash IN2025 on the device.

Else I would have saved $200 and bought an IN2020.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Shipoftheline:
That's why I was asking if IN2020 can be changed to IN2023, I've tried flashing firmware so know that doesn't make any difference apart from removing Chinese bloat
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Getting " everything uk works.." would be firmware and hardware and perhaps also provisioning by your network. You said you tried to flash firmware already. Have you tried in2023 ? It not go ahead and report back .
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Shipoftheline:
Thats what I'm asking, can IN2020 be flash into IN2023

Excellent work zeeshee !

;)

Nice job there, Zeeshan...Downloading now

Update:

Works like a charm.

Does seem to be quicker...Will wait for matrix to benchmark it.

Calculator still in expert ;)

No issues yet :)
[HTC Vox] 128MB:
image is corrupted when flashing via USB

and doesnt get a certificate when flashing from SD
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Did you do USPL?? I doubt it. If then re-download.

BTW: there is no Radio included in this *.nbh!
[HTC Vox] 128MB:
retried with the USPL and the roms is working fine.

Looks a lot better and the tekst is more clear than the original.

But did u realy have to put that bootlogo in it? :p
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
I will change the boot logo as may ppl requested for this :-)
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
NICEEEEEEEEEE

Thank you I will give a try! Thank you!

PS: on my previous comment on the connection manager, sorry yes it is there my mistake, although there is no option to turn off the GPRS (Edge) connection! (there is only WIFI, Bluetooth and Phone).

Also do you think you can solve this other small issue? "when I receive a sms and i am still in the inbox, in the home screen the vox indicates me like I still have to read the sms (new sms) while I have already read it because i was in the inbox chatting when I received it! can you correct this? thanks"
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
Again go to connection Manager & press right SoftKey. Read 1st option carefully & let me know what it says :-)
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
As far as I am concerned this is a general WinMo 6.1 problem!
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
ok Im an idiot.. although it is quite hidden..or at least not visible as the WIFI on/off :p
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
Installed!! :)

thanks
[HTC Vox] charlie42:
How to turn off bold font i.e. in right softkey menu or in contact list? (Or - how to change the whole phone font?) I don't have time to search for responsible registry key:)

And thanks for your ROM, I'm a huge fan:)
[HTC Vox] :
Good work zeeshee, keep it up!

Any chance of making 4x4 icon grid in the start menu? 4x3 still looks better than 3x3 in the original ROM, but 4x4 would fit there perfectly.
[HTC Vox] dheerajk27:
Nice work, Zeeshan. Thanks a ton!

Got installed last night. I think, in the first instance, the performance of this ROM is really better than any of the previous ROMs, especially in terms of RAM consumption. Yet to explore more abt the same. Will give more feedback after that...
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
Hello two issues:

- the black bar is back again, like in the first release i.e. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/245/screen003ao2.png

- could you remove the sound when you make a call or use the trick of Dr. Martin Gonzo? I think the previous release hadnt this owful sound when you call someone, thanks!
[HTC Vox] dheerajk27:
I don't have the black bar problem this time! I wonder how you people get it. In fact, I had straightaway switched to another background, without sliding panel. May be thats why I didn't realize.
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
I am using the "slide media" theme + SmartToolkit RC09 and I have the black bar problem! :confused:
[HTC Vox] dheerajk27:
Hey, I changed my homescreen back to Sliding Panel. I too have whatever you have mentioned on my homescreen, but I am not getting the black bar.

Anyway, there is a work around, if you are still facing the problem, which is as follows:

You will have to edit the following two files in windows folder:

CHome_240x320.cpr

CHome_320x240.cpr

Copy the same to your pc and open with notepad. The files are ReadOnly. So just remove the ReadOnly attributes for these files.

For CHome_240x320.cpr file,

Change the "Height" property for Image element to 313 (in Line no. 2)

Similary, for CHome_320x240.cpr file,

Change the "Height" property for Image element to 233 (in Line no. 2)

Save the files and copy back to the windows folder using Resco or Total Commander. And Soft-reset. You are done.
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
Hi!

I have checked this files and the value is already the right one!! :confused:

See below, I am not joking I have the black bar...

PS: there is a way to show more calendar events on the homescreen? thanks
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
If you have more than one it'll show when you press left/right on the calender tab. That's the only way with the slide themes!
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
Hi zeeshee,

I tested for the first time your 96 dpi ROM and encountered few issues in a short while:

1. When you type Google in Mini Opera URL and change screen orientaion, everything gets freezed, nothing work.

2. When Start Menu gets changes to List View, there is no number in front of icons.

3. While running PPC PIM Backup, selection of folder for backup is not easy or sometimes not possible.

At this moment, i reverted to Hikey's ROM.
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
OR

you can have smaller fonts like i use instead of changing whole ROM to 96 DPI which is not designed for it.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Hey what top bar is that (the indicators all the way at the top)?

Thanks
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
its for battery and signal strength indicator :)
[HTC Vox] kaju666:
Hi

I have a question. What Includes are in this rom?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Well I figured that out ;-)

But what software is it?
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
its lcd plugin v1.51 :)
[HTC Vox] dheerajk27:
Then, may be a silly question, but did you try changing the background and see whether the image you have used for background is having some problem?
[HTC Vox] tuleggi:
well actually it is the one provided by Zeeshan... but I will try
