[General Questions and Answers] EagleXDR:
Hey guys,

I recently bought a Chinese Android car head unit from a pretty random AliExpress seller. The unit is based on a chip that doesn’t have a lot of info about it on the web: AC8257 (Probably some sort of a MediaTek). I know those Chinese units and ROMs can be pretty funky, but this one actually works pretty well, both on the car side and the Android/Google apps side. However, I do have one small, yet very annoying problem that I can’t seem to solve on my own: Google app (Which includes the assistant) did not come preinstalled with the device. I’ve manually installed it from the app store, and until my first reboot, everything seemed to work fine. The assistant could be called both by a key-press and by “OK/Hello Google”. So far so good. The problem first appeared upon restarting the machine. When I tried calling the assistant, I got a message saying that Google assistant is not set as my default assistant (See attached photo). I went to the settings, and guess what, it seemed to be set as the default (See attached photo - No other option other than “None” were available anyway). I chose it again anyway, and indeed, it started working properly again. However, 30 minutes later, even without a reboot, it happened again. And again… You get the idea.

I did some googling (Both for the AC8257 and the assistant problem itself, contacted the seller and searched wherever I can, but the results were dull). I tried solving it by doing the following:

Using adb and root rights (Through ADB, not a permanent root), I installed the apk in priv-app, didn’t work. I then tried moving the Play store installation the priv-app, also did not work. I also tried disabling something called DuraSpeed, which, as far as I understand, is a performance enhancing tool by MediaTek that can sometimes cause this kind of thing, but that ,sadly, also did not help. In addition, I also tried resetting the device completely, to no avail. The only thing I didn’t try is installing a clean ROM and then installing OpenGapps, but that’s not possible right now (Couldn’t find any ROM for this device and CPU).

I know this might be a problem that is specifically related to my device/ROM, but as I can’t find a lot of info about it pretty much anywhere, I thought it might not be such a bad idea to ask this question in a more general forum.

Many thanks to you all,

Noam.
[General Questions and Answers] @gleidonbor:
I have the same problem.

If you solve, tell us. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try to figure out what event took place at the 30 minute mark. Try to see what apk pops up in the cache when it crashes.

You can try clearing the system cache then the data of the apks used if that doesn't get it.

Try resetting network settings if communicating with bluetooth.

Eventually you'll find it if you keep playing with it... Androids wuv being played with.

Hello ... after upgrading to Android 10, font changing apps are not compatible. There is a trick that I used to use with File Explorer, by entering the fonts file and replacing the default fonts with the modified fonts. But this is done by root. Now I avoid the root, but can I access the font file on the computer?

My fault! Turns out that the lad in the store who 'said' he'd fitted the free screen protector, hadn't... i had the full safety mask on which has no hole over the earpiece and therefore, muffles the sound!

Oh well, maybe this info could be of use to someone else as dumb as me! :p

After the reset it starts and it looks like it was new out of the box. Completely wiped of all info. Starting fresh

Thx, but it seems I wasn't clear enough: What I am interested in are the partitions and folders that are being changed /wiped / formatted. What exactly is being done on that "lower kind" of level not what the end-user "sees" when he starts the phone.

Two days ago I decided to update my phone from Pie (December 2019 patch), to the latest version of Android 10 (September 2020). I factory data reset the phone, then installed the OTA updates. After about a day I realized that texting and calling does not work. If I go to"SIM card status" in the settings menu it says service state out of service. How do I fix this? Do I just need a new SIM card? Any advice?

[MENTION=6683753]Snowby123[/MENTION]

Have you tried removing the SIM card, wait a minute or two, then reinsert the SIM card, and restart your Note9?

I use a SIM card for the Note9 that I used in a Note8. I had problems with the Note9 listing the IMS registration status as "unregistered." Removing/reinstalling the SIM card, then restarting the device would usually fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Snowby123:
I learned that it is triggered by a reboot and temporarily fixed by toggling airplane mode. On first boot the problem exists, but if I tooggle airplane mode on then off, the problem is gone until next reboot.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] mmodoucham:
Hello Everyone. I am using Redmi Note 9 but I cant find any Custom Roms for it. I always find same ROM for Note 9pro and 9s. Does anyone have any idea whether they will work on Note 9. I want to use Evolution X rom.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Akitake:
9s and 9 pro roms won't work for the normal Redmi Note 9 no.

You can try GSI (treble) roms, they work just fine aside from the brightness slider being miscalibrated.

Could be fixed by creating an overlay for it which someone has tried to do, waiting for merge: https://github.com/phhusson/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/257

But yeah other than that it works well, see here: https://xdaforums.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development

Wait that actually fully fixes the slider?!

If so that's sick and I'm moving to a custom rom again

Edit: Yup, sure does, sick!
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Pastasan:
Which ROM would you recommend? I would really appreciate if you could DM it to me!

I just got this phone and am puzzled at how dead the custom ROM section is.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Akitake:
Custom ROMs made SPECIFICALLY for our device don't exist yet. It's a MTK chipset instead of the more common Snapdragon one, causing issues.

That said, the treble project makes systems that are cross-compatible among a variety of devices, those systems are called GSI's.

I invite you to check-out my guide at the "Installing Custom ROMs" section: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-9/how-to/faq-guides-bootloader-magisk-edxposed-t4176581
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Pastasan:
Thanks man! That's a great tutorial. Im a bit confused on where and when I flash Gaaps in the following steps "

Installing Custom ROMs

...

Step 3 - Put your phone into fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down) and link it to your PC.

Step 4 - Move the .img file you downloaded to your ADB & Fastboot (Platform Tools) folder, and rename it to system.img.

....

"

what command do I use to install gapps?

Also, unrelated, but how safe is it to flash a GSI ROM w/o having a custom recovery. I have tried flashing ROM on a phone w/o twrp & messed something, and it wasn't pleasant haha... is there some way I could mess up the steps? Perhaps by installing the wrong from (I'm using losq-v224-201017-arm64-bgN.img.xz ..that's correct right?)
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Akitake:
You need the STOCK recovery to get into fastbootd mode, which is required to flash your GSI.

You cannot overwrite system partition with regular (blue) fastboot.

And when you install Orangefox or TWRP or anything like that, you get rid of fastbootd.

As for gapps, just get a rom with gapps.

In your case, you picked losq. Look at the name, it's arm64 which is correct and then:

- b for A/B phones (like the Redmi Note 9) so that's correct

- g means it has gapps by default (the opposite would be v meaning vanilla)

- N means it comes unrooted (the opposite would be S for superuser)
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Pastasan:
Thanks so much, mate. Good to know I don't need gapps

Btw, I saw you updated the recommended ROM to QCAS. Whichh one would you recommend? I read the AOSP is better for redmi' mediatek- so was thinking that was better for stability
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Akitake:
All three that are in my signature are really good, you can't go wrong with any of them.

I recently moved from LOSQ to crDroid and now CAOS, and all three are similar. The main difference is the amount of customisation available.

In my experience so far:

crDroid > CAOS > LOSQ in terms of customisation

CAOS (much smoother imo) > LOSQ = crDroid in terms of performance

And personally the amount of customisation available in CAOS is more than sufficient, and animations feel a lot smoother to me.

As far as stability goes, I don't know haven't had issues with any of them.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Pastasan:
Awesome, Looks like I'll give CAOS a go! I have always only installed LOS on any new android I get, so I had little idea about other roms. Heck, this was the first time I heard of GIS
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Pastasan:
hey sorry to bother u again. But I downloaded CAOS, but it doesn't seem to have a built in gapps version. What fastboot commands to do I use while flashing it (and presumably, something like open-gapps?)

Edit: nvm found the gapps one lol
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Akitake:
It's the same as losq, you want arm64 bgN

B because that's our device type

G for gapps

N for no root

My old phone is mi5s plus xiaomi

New phone is red mi note 9 pro.

I both uploaded to drive and put to local. Then put to pc and get from pc to red mi note 9 pro.

I tried everything here:

https://xdaforums.com/android/help/whatsapp-restore-stuck-24-restoration-t3816605/page3

I have problem at %31 while restoring.

I disable wifi, skip drive backup restoration and make it to read from local. It says "restoring messages" and at %31 , it stops. Sometimes at%24. There is only crypt file. Please help me to fix.

Size is 1.25 gb but whatsapp show 3.9 gb to restore. in whatsapp folder, there is 3.9 data.

I tried lots of things but it keeps failing.

Should i enable wifi in the old phone? it has still disabled wifi and so that is why whatsapp did not logout. If i enable wifi, can it logout whatapp because i verified at other phone? Maybe i can backup again

Hi!

I am relativelly new at XDA. I think i read somewhere that pledging cash for help to get a certain thing done is allowed but am a bit unsure. So excuse me if this post is perhaps slightly against the rules or so. Moderators can of course in that case delete it. But i would in that case also appreciate the advice on how to make this inquiry more in accordance to the rules of the XDA.

-----------------------------

And here's my question:

I own a Samsung tab A with the S-pen (2019), device with model number SM-P205, and i really love it. The most practical thing i ever owned; the size, the pen, snappy enough, pretty much everything about it ticks all the right boxes for me. I understand there are few other people here that also find it practical and want to make the most of it. Which would be much easier with at least a TWRP. There was a brave attempt to make it, but the dev abandoned it.

I am thinking that perhaps some of us that own the device are interested enough in this that we could perhaps cough up some dough to make it worth some developers while to make the TWRP.

I for one could pledge at least $100 for this purpose.

Anyone else with me?

Did you try it yourself on your device?

Is it just TWRP or is it kernel too and do you flash it some other way than usual (Odin)? I don't really understand.

I tried to read more on Github, but it's a lot of text and i am not really so competent in these things above just flashing
