[Galaxy S II Android Development] 2faraway2:
Didn't get your point !

You're doing nothing except complaining, neither productive testing nor giving constructive ideas to improve something.

Nobody is forced to use @rINanDO 's roms. If you personally won't/can't use them, stay with stock and be happy ..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] portboy:
nikgapps for arm32 ... pico ... where can I find this package?

I tried MindTheGapps without success.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 2faraway2:
@rINanDO :

Second short impression about your newest build:

I've managed to install microG via MinMicroG without any issues. Even your rom doesn't bootloop any more (y)

With this release there is also no more need to set the location permissions manually, everything can be done within microG :)

But this latest build (20210628) has several cons (attention: these are my personal findings):

GPS doesn't seem to work (at least in my configuration with microG installed as magisk module I don't get any fix)

Very high battery consumption

Power off doesn't seem to work, instead the device simply restarts

As result I went back to your may build (20210517), which doesn't have these issues and imho was the most stable and reliable release since your first A11 build.

First conclusion:

The may build with integrated signature spoofing patches would be the best (for my needs ;) )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
These are no errors. I think it is debugging info when we had the 150Mhz stuck bug in the kernel in cm-13.0 or cm-14.1. I think I will disable this info since hotplug is working stable for years now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
Yes, this is a serious one. "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address" always causes hard reboot. Thanks, I think this something I can fix.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OllieW:
I finally started my test on my dad's S2 (was on LOS16.0) - so I can directly report any improvements or problems in comparison to my S2 with LOS17.1!

Installation was done with emulated storage PIT, recommended TWRP 3.3.1-1 and a clean install with a full wipe of all partitions and OpenGApps 11 Pico ARM-Test - everything worked well without any problems here!

First startup took some minutes until installation assistant showed up. Wi-Fi setup with stable connection on my WPA2-Personal and PMF enabled network was shown, but connecting Google server and login to Google account was not possible/offered through the installation assistant. After finishing installation assistant, Google Play works flawlessly installing all updates und checking security - so it seems that the Installation Assistant (possibly together with OpenGapps) is buggy and not using the connected wireless network..

Shutdown and restart with or without charger is working perfectly - pressing the Home button while charging offline also does its job and turns on the display with the charge level. I guess that old settings (upgrade from former version) and/or base system (I installed the latest original Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 Euro firmware containing the free Nordic version with CSC NEE and most actual modem firmware XXMS4 before switching to LineageOS.) will sometimes lead to this strange behaviour on some phones mentioned above...

Unfortunately phone calls using bluetooth handsfree mode is still broken like in LOS17.1 - I can't hear the caller via bluetooth and have to switch to internal loudspeaker or ear speaker.

Great work again and stay healthy!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chaiunique:
nice rom cool..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karl_LOL:
It's been a while since I installed a custom rom on my S2. Could someone help me understand how to use these files (especially the img files):

i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage.pit

Odin --> 'PIT'. It's a file to repartition the filesystem I guess. But if I have to repartition the fs only once at the very first installation then why is it always listed again in the updates in post #2?

i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.tar.md5

Odin --> 'PDA'. Probably the installation of TWRP.

i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.img

Seems to be TWRP again. But if I have already installed it via Odin with the md5-file why would I need it again as an img-file? In which case is this file necessary?

lineage-18.1-20210628-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip

The OS itself! I will install it in recovery mode with TWRP.

lineage-18.1-20210628-UNOFFICIAL-i9100_magisk_boot.img

I have no idea what this is.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
Suspicious wasting cpu and internal storage in LOS 14.1... Please explain how did you conclude this. Which tooling did you use and how? What is the main cause? And how you think to solve this. This information might help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaddogIT:
Yes, you have to use it just once. Is listed for reference, someone may switch to the rom also later, not just from first release (maybe waiting a more stable one...)

Both are the same, you can use the preferred one. I needed it again just one time, when I did a wrong wipe.

Of course :)

You need this one if you want to use Magisk for root privileges. Usually installed in recovery mode with TWRP just after The OS.

I hope that's more clear now, regards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karl_LOL:
Wow, thank you so much for the clear and polite answers!! (y)

Now I'm good to install the rom 🙃
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
Can you grab some logs? Dmesg or logcat. I guess its selinux denials. You could try if it works with selinux permissive.I do have a car radio on bluetooth which works, but I never tried other devices.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gnaz7:
for the shutdown-fail (restart instead):

- with magisk-kernel, shutdown does restart

- with normal kernel, shutdown will power off

at least for my installation (following rINanDO's magnificent upgrades)

keep it running, thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
Yes, I thanks, I noticed this too. It is because magisk is not killed at shutdown. Will be fixed in next build.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ben Garp:
Hi Rinando

great Job, Wifi works but not with WPA2+WPA3. You have to take WPA+WPA2. High Battery Draining is only if the SIM Card is inside. GPS Works. Where can I exclude the Button Lights or backlit buttons. Thanks for your work.

Thank you for sharing your observations on WiFi. Is this all using 2.4/5 GHz mixed mode networks? Have you tried also WPA2 only? Could be otherwise that only the fallback to WPA (which is anything but secure anymore) is functioning.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ben Garp:
Yes Fritzbox 2,4/5 GHz mixed mode and it works also with only WPA2 CCMP.

But on the S2 it shows WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal.

on Fritzbox n/Wi-Fi 4, 20 MHz, WPA2, 1 x 1

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Aki-to:
If you have weird carriers, then you need to go to the carrier's official homepage, log into your account look up the internet/MMS settings to make the carrier work on phones. It should be in some kind of FAQ section, or whatever. If the carrier is stupid enough to not provide this information on their homepage, then you have to call their customer support service and ask the APN details.

You have to get the precise APN details.

Then you put in these APN details here:

Note that, this is the path on my Android 11 based OS. If you use e.g. Android 10, the path might be slightly different.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Celopz:
Hello, I need help with a moto z2 force. My problem is the following: I have the xt1789-04 TMO model, they brought me a free US phone to be able to use it in Argentina. It had updated until the Android version 8 oreo July 2019.

It worked perfect until I wanted to put an Android 9 rom on it, everything works except the mobile network, I tried all versions of rom (android, lineage, etc) and I can't get it to grab the sim. The truth is I don't know what else to do, before flashing version 9 I made a backup of the original version of the phone, I also tried and nothing.

I would like to know if doing blackflash would solve something (it is the only thing I read that I have not tried yet), and if this is how it is done?

Please I want to get my cell phone back, help !!!!
[YotaPhone 3 Questions & Answers] ZaxxonQ:
I recently received a YotaPhone 3+ from eBay, it stated that it would work with the Mint Mobile 4G network, the only thing I can seem to connect to is GSM/EDGE. Any advice on changing the band or anything of the sort? Should I look into a whole root-n-rom process? Or am I just just stuck with basically 3G?
[YotaPhone 3 Questions & Answers] Tippfehler:
I have nothing changed for 4G.
[YotaPhone 3 Questions & Answers] itoldusoandso:
You can try using LTE Only and 4G Only apps but they have mixed results. I didn't try using them on my Yota because the international version is acceptable. I don't know if Chinese version has LTE band in your area, but it could be the 2600 band (or something like that) is widely used but weak outside the city, so you may end up draining your battery more. Forcing the phone using LTE when reception is weak will consume way more battery. I used these apps back with Hinsense phone with EDP screen because the Hisense phones were miserable with LTE outside of China. Also you may need to root your device because the apps may not be able to access the settings. Example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=www.extremedroid.com.a4gltetoolkit&hl=en&gl=US

In addition to that, you can download apps that do cell tower discovery and will tell you where in your area is the cell company's tower. That may help you to find out where you need to go. Same as above, the tower discovery apps may need access to root to be able to run.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] thegios:
Just installed Dec patches: now if I go into home settings and select Styles, it crashes.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
Mine seems to be working okay.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] reterosexual:
Mine seems to be doing this, too.

I'd come to the forums to ask for some advice and at least it's not just me.

I can't even get an image to load, if I go to change my wallpaper, whatever image I open just closes the wallpaper picker completely.

I've not seen a workaround for it online anywhere, either. Not sure of the best way to stop it crashing.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] thegios:
1. walpaper: I have noticed this too, but not with all images, still need to figure out what's the culprit

2. styles: I have found that the problem is a combination of language and deleted personal styles. Put phone in english, enter style, apply a default style, put back phone to your language, re enter style, create a new personal style and apply it BUT DO NOT DELETE IT, otherwise problem will coem back
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] reterosexual:
I've just tried again this morning and if you set the wallpaper from the Google Photos app, it doesn't seem to crash.

Still not wholly sure what's going on with it, but hey. Hopefully they issue a fix soon. Only other thing I've noticed is that the wallpaper doesn't centre correctly if you apply it, it always sits slightly to the right.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] unisoul333:
Ah yes, the Note 20 Ultra will be my last in a long line of Samsung phone ownership. I'm just not satisfied with this product. That's not to say it's a bad phone but there are other tempting, albeit less expensive options available nowadays. I was happier with the Note 10+. I'm not impressed with the Note 20's cameras the 108mp camera makes no noticeable difference. The large sensor is great but it tends to blur the edges of the object in focus quite frequently. I can't take a selfie without my teeth, which are white, looking like a stick of butter. Battery life is not impressive at all. Basically, there is nothing that justifies the the price I paid for this device and I wish I stuck with my Note 10+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] htchd2sucks:
Fully agree.

The price tag (even if I did not pay for that phone) is insane for that device:

Camera? Lol. Quality not impressive and the 50x zoom garbage produces very nice "Pixel arts" composition. Oops sorry I think I used the word "quality" in that sentence, surely inappropriate in that context.

Battery? lol. I am barely using the phone, it hardly lasts from morning to evening, then battery almost empty

Apps? Junkware? My phone is/was full of links to paying craps from Samsung

The bulge? the weight? Recipe for disaster.

The headphones? The wireless charge? Oh wait, those are extra to be paid separately...

The fingerprint sensor on the screen? lol. Prevents me from using my phone regularly. Rubbish.

CPU oh let's remind that I don't have the same as international, I have the exynox junk.

Samsung junk to "protect" (their business) and lock your phone, so you don't remove their junkwares.

I don't see what that device has more than devices costing 25% of the asking price.

Good experience, it will save me (my own) money for future purchases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
The device is only worth it ( for me anyways ) when heavily discounted via trade in. Otherwise , there's no way in it's worth $1399 plus tax , that's for sure.

I had a brief run with a OnePlus 8 Pro, 799$ black Friday deal, and that was a better value choice over all. However, if one doesn't intend to root then it can be a rather boring device.

The exynos version is a bad phone... The snapdragon is better but also doesnt worth 1400$ or €. With worldwide snapdragon for 699-799€ for the ultra would have been an amazing deal...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
I'm quite happy, the IQ from the main camera is better than my Note 9 by quite a stretch, and the IQ holds up well in this camera shootout (see GSMArena's camera shootout between Mate 40 Pro, iPhone 12 pro max, Sony Xperia 1 MkII and Note 20 Ultra).

Its well built, I have the exynos version and I'm getting through 2 to 3 days between charges with 7 to 8 hrs SoT. I did debloat a bit but have all the original functionality, dont have it in 5G mode as this does eat battery (Dont have 5g here yet), use wifi 90% of time so phone data is off. I have no issues with fingerprint scanner, works well.

Lol, feel the wuv🧐

The really funny part is Samsung can't handle criticism. If you ever talked to a SK based Samsung rep you'll see what I mean. I enjoy drilling into them immensely. Some of that is cultural and the rest is poor training.

They don't interface well with irate Westerners🤣

Tough.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
So in a nutshell , if one were politely show them an issue they'd get offended ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Well politely to them would be to beat around the bush and never get anything resolved or escalated. If you consider the same rep asking you the same questions 2 even 3 times then yes, yes it's a quit pleasant and polite conversation.

However if on the other hand you tend to be assertive like me, it's the stuff of nightmares for a mealy mouth SK rep. You can feel their bp rising; that's the most satisfaction you're likely to get.

I would rather talk to the wall...

Samsung has the worst customer support of any large corporation I have dealt with extensively.

Worse than Toshiba even Sony... Samsung is that bad, #10.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:

What a pile of junk rolled into a barely bronze metal container. I've had many smartphones and loved my Xiaomi phones. What happened with the note 20 ultra?

Yes their customer service is wretched! I needed damage repaired on my S6 tablet. I bought the accidental damage protection plan with my tablet on Shop Samsung's website. Samsung took almost 3 weeks to fix it and kept saying I had not paid for accidental damage coverage. Needless to say after spending a stupid amount of time 2 to 3 times a week on the phone I finally got it covered and got it back only to find it now glitches and crashes and has horrible battery life now. Yay!

Some say that the device is more stable since the November patch but I don't personally notice it.

Would a factory reset help❔
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
To be honest... I think people don't reboot their phones daily. Then after they install the OTA and a reboot happens, the phone feels great.

If you reboot your phone every day, it'll run fine on Android 10. Otherwise it'll get worse and worse over time. Possibly faster or slower depending on what you do.

Nobody has found a permanent solution, apart from downgrading to Pie or Oreo.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] smalis:
I've been running rooted CRDroid 9.0 (with Magisk and No_Verity) for years and wanted to go back to Oxygen, so I downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_068_all_2006012224_c7a6016 and updated my TWRP to 3.4.0.0. I followed the instructions - took a TWRP backup, flashed the Magisk uninstaller, did a full wipe (dalvik-cache, cache, system, vendor and data) and then tried to flash the ROM. I got an error due to the compatibility file. So, I tried to restore my TWRP backup and am now getting bootloops.

The instructions say I have to remove the compatibility file on my device, but I can't because of the bootloops.

Can anyone please help me to either get my TWRP backup successfully running or successfully flash Oxygen 10?
