I hated the constant flashing of the Tytn II bluetooth LED at night so much that I got a cover for it. So, when I put it in the cradle at night then on went the cover !

What would be nice in Touch Pro "II" would be multiple colours in the ring?
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] cookiemonster79:
I just got a OnePlus 8T+ 5G today ( T-Mobile ) and need to get a case. For my last two phones, I have used UAG and I have been happy with them. Reading the specs, it seems like Otterbox has testing above and beyond what UAG does (milspec) so I am considering that option too, but the back of the Otterbox cases feels a bit smoother and less grippy than UAG.

Two options I am considering:

Discontinued Products | OtterBox

Apologies, but it appears the product you are looking for is discontinued! Take a look at our many products to provide the ultimate device protection!

www.otterbox.com

Plyo Pro

Plyo Pro

www.urbanarmorgear.com

Only $10 price difference, so that isn't a factor. My main concern is protecting the phone. The UAG seems to provide good protection and feels a bit more grippy than the Otterbox, but I know Otterbox is a known solid design.

Any thoughts on those two?
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] hoodred:
The UAG is available on Amazon

However the case doesnt really protect the screen the lips are not raise enough.

Its too Flush

I choose the Poetic Affinity instead not only its cheaper

the lips in the front actually protect the screen
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] LexRockhard:
If the Poetic Affinity for the 8t is anything like the one on the 3t, that thing can take a beating
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] hoodred:
Not as high as Poetic.

UAG Lips raised only top,bottom and about 1/5 on the sides.

Poetic all edges top, bottom and both sides lips are raised.
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] cutade:
Hey, I'm thinking of taking affinity or uag, depending on this following question: do poetic cases get yellow over time?

*I found something on google that says that uag plasma cases stay pure transparent, but nothing useful about poetic
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] Houdeanie:
Over the past 8 year I’ve had 5 otterbox defenders. They all served well. My biggest issue with them is there is always going to be a thin section that always breaks over time. That all truly depends on how much it drops and how hard it drops. Some of them come with their own screen protection which can be convenient but also annoying. They don’t bind to the screen so it can cause unresponsive touches. Otterboxes do come with port covers to protect from dust.

I tried out UAG 2.5 years ago and it outlasted all of my otter boxes. And it’s still going strong. It barely even has a scratch on it. It’s been accidentally ran over by a Ford 150 too lol. Nothing is breaking on it. Nothing is warped. It’s taken harder falls than all my otterboxes and it is still perfectly intact. UAG does not come dust covers. I will point out that the dust covers fall apart and they damage your phone chargers because they always push on them. Dust covers can also damage your ports because it’s pushing your chargers on the side of them. I’ve had 2 charge ports go bad because of that. Newer phones now are waterproof/water resistant so it won’t hurt your phone just to wash the dust out. So to be honest dust covers are not necessary and are more inconvenient now.

My personal preference is a UAG + Zagg screen protector. Zaggs have a lifetime warranty. You buy one and it’s good for the remainder of the phone’s life or if you buy another phone that is compatible to it. Iphone 11 and 12s use the same protector size.

I dropped using otterboxes when I discovered UAGs. They are the toughest phone cases I’ve ever had. I even had Specks that were more durable than my otterboxes. Otterboxes cost more and seem to be a lot less durable from my experience.

Im having a very tedious problem with my galaxy s7 model G930P So before flashing this combination firmware : https://samsungcombinationfile.com/samsung-sm-g930p I Flashed the one at the very top Its file name is VZW_FA60_G930PVPU7ARI1 the problem is I forgot to check what current version my stock firmware is before flashing the combination firmware itself doesnt give me any substantial info, and all that download mode is giving me is a model name : G930V (Which im sure is incorrect because it literally says G930P engraved on the back of the phone) and it says RP SWREV: B7(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K2 S6 Im pretty sure my stock firmware was android 7

Now what ive been doing is basically going through all the android 7 stock firmwares for my model and trying to flash them but one of two things happen 1.I Get an SW REV CHK error saying Fused 7 > Binary 6 or 5 or 4 it depends 2.Download mode disappears and phone boots into a SBL ERROR UPLOAD MODE screen with the green android in the center and some text at the top left corner saying

Can you recommend me the best stable rom for gaming and battery backup in Android 10
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] mzs114:
I have been using LineageOS 16, and it has support for setting performance/efficiency modes explicitly. I have observed that my battery is lasting longer after using the saving modes, though this is anecdotal.

I don't do mobile gaming, but the reviews that I have seen, Lineageos does work well with PUBG and gives good framerates, etc.

Build Guide

Here is an /e/ build guide. I don't know if all my practices are optimal but I would gladly receive any feedback on how to make it better.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xobust:
Thanks for an ungoogled rom.

Is this rom non CFW?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gilbran_01:
Now im on cfw rom android 10, can i flash e os?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
No need to flash cfw! Just follow the instructions provided on post #1.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] sliveness:
As you know very well, the vast majority of currently installed custom roms for the N8pro is based on CFW. So: What should those guys do who have installed a custom rom (for me Bliss A10 with CFW2.1) and want to check out /e/? Getting back to MIUI A9 first?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Okay, I 'll try to get into a little more detail. The newer builds of LineageOS (and thus of /e/ also) include a series of proprietary images included into the zip. They include also the images that are included in CFW. So, yes, they kind of are considered as CFW builds but one does not need to flash any CFW zip, as the CFW images are being flashed with every rom flash now.

It may feel pointless to include those images in every rom update as they just make the size of the zips higher. They do not really need to be flashed every time a rom update comes out, as they are unchanged. But I think this method is preferred right now because @theimpulson is aiming for LOS 17.1 to get official and it's important from this aspect. Of course, I could adjust the builds to not include the cfw images and go the other way, but I chose to stick to the LOS way for now.

So, to sum it up: No need for flashing CFW (as it already is included in the rom zip). Just follow the instructions on post #1!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] sliveness:
Thank you for this important information! I did not know about this integration which seems to be quite reasonable in view of all these different CFW versions.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
Hi @polfrank

I have been making /e/ ROMs, mostly for Sony devices and, like you I needed to reference a repo outside of github in a manifest . The repo is in a gitlab instance hosted at git.coop. I did it with the following code in my manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<!-- git.coop remote -->
<remote name="gitcoop"
fetch="https://git.coop/"
revision="main" />

<!-- Proprietary blobs for z3c -->
<project name="phone-custom-roms/vendor_sony_z3c" path="vendor/sony/z3c" remote="gitcoop" revision="main" />

<project name="phone-custom-roms/vendor_sony_shinano-common" path="vendor/sony/shinano-common" remote="gitcoop" revision="main" />

<!-- Proprietary blobs for lilac -->
<project name="phone-custom-roms/vendor_sony_lilac" path="vendor/sony/lilac" remote="gitcoop" revision="main" />

</manifest>

I don't think you will need to go that far as I believe a `gitlab` repo name is already defined, so you should just be able to change the line in your manifest to something like

<project name="the-muppets/proprietary_vendor_xiaomi" path="vendor/xiaomi" remote="gitlab" />

I hope that helps. You can check out the manifests I use in my git.coop 'manifests' repo
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Thanks for your insight! If I remember correctly, I had tried to reference the gitlab remote on .repo/manifests.xml but when doing repo sync it would say that it could not find the repository. I am going to give it a new try considering your tips when the next build comes! (y)

Cannot flash from Pixel Experience (with CFW 3.2).

Formated Data and flashed, but the phone restarts twice and boots into TWRP.

Any Idea? I'm using TWRP 3.4.0-3 and have the EU version of begonia.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Did you really format the data (the process that you have to type "yes" in order for it to be done) or just wipe data?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xobust:
Yes I did, forgot to copy my backups to the computer too 😥.

I had this problem before though, I could not flash any Android 10 ROMs after flashing Pixel Experience.

Did anyone successfully revert to Android 10 and CFW 2.1?

I tried to repair the fs of the data partition too.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] FivEawE:
I'd probably suggest to just flash the stock ROM and start from scratch.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xobust:
Got it working, not sure how. I formated and flashed again and it worke.

Is it possible to decrypt data from TWRP? It does not prompt me for my graphical

password when i start the recovery. Guesse i have to factory reset to install magisk.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] FivEawE:
I haven't found a way or a recovery with working decryption. I think flashing Magisk should be fine even with encrypted /data partition (it has worked for me on PE). Flashing of the Magisk uninstaller script, however, won't work with /data encrypted.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Which custom recovery do you use? I use twrp 3.4.0_10 without problems. I get prompt to decrypt user data every time I reboot to recovery.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] FivEawE:
I've been using the ones recommend for PE. On forums there's only 3.3.1 Unofficial as far as I know. It'd be much appreciated If you posted a link for the 3.4.0 one :).

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Hey! Let's see...

/e/ os uses microg instead of google play services. As far as I know microg doesn't have a working safetynet implementation for android 10+. I know that rooting is not everyone's favorite practice but in your place I would try installing Magisk and use Magisk Hide to hide Magisk from selected apps. If I recall correctly, Magisk hide does more than just hiding Magisk from the apps, including hiding the bootloader unlock etc.

So, I think that it's pointless to implement a safetynet fix when there is no safetynet from the very beginning! :D
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] forcel:
Thanks a lot!

Maybe consider sending the rom to e foundation so they can enlist it at least in the unofficial list. I couldnt find it through normal search, i just accidently stumbled over your implementation here in the forums.

Problems i encountered and how i fixed them:

The "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" gave me an error similar to:

option --disable -verity not found

Solution: Update abd and fastboot to newest version. This command is only available after a certain version

TWRP Version:

I downgraded first to MIUI 11.0.6.0 (because i hardbricked my phone before and restored it to this version for some reason) and then used the official twrp recovery found here https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote8pro.html

Then follow the given instructions and right after you type fastboot reboot you press and hold the Volume Up Button until you see the twrp logo

Invalid zip file format:

For that you need to extract the e-os build, delete the compatibility file and archive the whole thing again. Then it worked without any errors so far.

CFW TWRP:

I got the cfw recovery from here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-cf...l-twrp-recovery-for-begonia-in-05-06.4002397/

called TWRP for CFW 3.3.1-0 Unofficial by Sahil_Sonar

I hope i could help someone out here! Good Luck

Hmm, maybe just rename the file from *.bin to *zip and flash it. I have also had this problem sometimes with GitHub when downloading a rom zip through a mobile browser. You can also try this: When you download and it says .bin, cancel it and try once more. That will probably fix extension.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] sliveness:
Hi, I don't want to sound demanding, only just asking: Is there some progress concerning SELinux? For me, the real magic of /e/ is that there is absolutely no need to root anymore, simply because there is no spyware on board. And when you don't root you avoid this ugly cat-and-mouse game between banking/insurance/bla bla apps and magisk totally - what is by the way VERY essential when you live far away from your country and are totally dependent from your (f***ing) smartphone. So I am just a guy who simply desperately awaits for running all these apps under /e/... (which is by the way working for my stonehenge LG G4 perfectly. WelI... if the usb port there wouldn't be totally worn out...)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
This is a good question. I would also really want to have SELinux enabled on this rom. The developer of LOS can unfortunatelly not continue the development. I suppose that if we had SELinux enabled on LOS, it would be very easy to switch it on on /e/ too.

I tried to learn how to write SELinux rules myself and tried to do it for /e/ but I kind of failed. It is something that I found very hard, as I am just an enthusiast and not really a developer. I spent like 2 days trying to understand things but I didn't have more time to spare on it. So, I think I am personally not going to try to fix SELinux for /e/ on begonia. I hope that we'll find someone else who is intrested in fixing this and has the time!

By the way, what a coincidence, I own also an LG G4! Nice device. :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] reist:
Yes i used this twrp to install 0.15. 0.16 is not installing with this twrp

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] sliveness:
No doubt, LG G4 is something special. Not only in positive but also in negative sense. But one of the former devs, steadfasterx, can tell you much more about that than me. As a simple user I appreciate your work very much, and I appreciate it even more that you make clear what you canNOT do. Therefore my tipp: Ask Steadfasterx, 'cause he is the dev of Lgg4 /e/. Maybe he has something for you, because his /e/ is NOT official...

Hoi @polfrank

Do you have any idea for my issue?

I am trying to stream from a Dutch Itv provider (kpn itv app) to my chhromecast.

I also have a phone with Google stuff on it and there it works fine.

With this gom without Google i do not see a chromecast icon. Casting works with all apps except the provider app.

I tried to hide root with magisk. No success.

According to the provider the problem could be DRM.

Do you have any leads?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Hoi!

/e/ uses microg instead of Google services. What you describe is a known bug of microg. Cast is not working (yet?). You could use vlc to cast video files because vlc uses its own cast implementation. But it seems like this workaround wouldn't help in your situation.

This is a typical example where the user has to choose between privacy and convenience. Good luck finding your sweet spot! :)
