So, it's like "try it, if u don't like it, just get MIUI back", right? Cool!

OTA is the android updater? I'm kinda wants to update like I do with MIUI. Options > Updates > Update > Restart and Done

I don't use much cameras, just on my job tbh. As I said, just want a good battery to use my Linux on background (I already do it all day basically, I would say), and free ads (disabled all of them on MIUI, I think). Like, for example, installed Vanced YT on my Mi A3 in 5 minutes, while I reinstalled 3 times on POCO X3 and still can't log-on.

Not sure if my bank do that... hope it doesn't. Yes, lot of apps are useless and uninstalled already.

I only "game" idle games, which means like 30 mins/day.

Still wondering if I should or not try a ROM. Probably will on weekend since I won't use it.

Oh, and BTW, my night mode is kinda buggy in a few apps, had to disable it on android and use in-app features. Not sure if it's MIUI problem, but never happened on my Mi A3.

I've been using magisk hide for banking apps, I still get some random issues with some apps like not being able to register the fingerprint but overall I can use them all, the only app that really gives me any trouble is the sprint drive app.

My phone is arriving today. Do I really need to wait for unlocking the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] zpower:
With ArrowOS you can use bank apps and google play...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] badadam:
Like I wrote my bank in Denmark detects unlocked bootloaders. So there is no way I can use my bank apps as long as the bootloader is unlocked .

I had problems using ArrowOS on my Redmi Note 8T and called the help service in my bank. When I told him my phone model the helpdesk guy asked me right away if I had unlocked my bootloader which I "admitted" I did. Turns out that the guy knew eveything about custom Roms, unlocked bootloaders and rooted phones. He told me that most banks in Denmark put safety first and do anything to lock out devices with unlocked bootloaders even if Safetny passes without problems.

So I haven´t even tried unlocking the bootloader on my X3 NFC as I use my bank apps and Google Pay everyday.

And I am actually quite satsfied with stock MIUI after debloating and twirking. Looking forward to see how 12.5 will improve the phone.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
Wow, what a story. Thanks for sharing.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Talysdaddy:
The most sensible answer is if you must ask, you don't need it. You'll likely get over your head, screw up your phone, whine and cry for help, when no one can cuz you're not even sure what, how, when or where you went wrong and don't remember exactly what you did, you'll end up regretting the whole thing, wish you never came to this site in the first place cuz now you gotta $250 paperweight, with no way to get another one. Now your parents are super mad and pretending you don't exist, you've resorted to eating only peanut butter n jelly sandwiches for every meal.. All this cuz you wanted a custom rom... yup
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Communos:
Eh, not really. Wasn't everyone like this in the beginning? He'll learn with time if he's new, How about not scaring him? ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Communos:
Yeah, Xiaomi implemented a 168 hour wait time for unlocking bootloader in all new devices.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] PYCON:
A couple of years ago or a bit more, I had a problem with a bank app here in Italy. It was possible to install it, it opened but was never able to login to my account with a "generic error". After calling the helpdesk, they did a check and informed me that the app didn't work for ROOTED PHONES...

:eek: :eek: :eek:

One week after this call, my new account in another bank was active and fully operative so I moved all my money to the new bank.

:sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:

If anyone would react in this way, this kind of abuses by banks will end very soon...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Talysdaddy:
No, I wasn't like this in the beginning, like my first sentence says, if you have to ask, it probably isn't for you cuz it demonstrates a few lacking qualities that surely would make this difficult. No offense to OP but I'm being realistic, speaking of going back to the OPs question, he asks whether he should rock a custom rom or not. How can anyone realistically answer that for him? The only one that has that definite answer is the person asking it. No one here knows his skills, amount of knowledge, patience level, whether he can follow instructions or a tutorial well enough, whether he enjoys or tolerates reading, disposable cash, if he funks up a daily driver, can it be replaced, ect.... these are all key in learning and practicing installing roms. Going back to what I said originally if you must ask, meaning that you can't determine this for yourself, it's highly likely there's other things you can't do for yourself. Everyone here knows 99.9009% of this is done independently, reading these threads and trying things out. Plus 99.9999% of answers to questions pertaining to modding our devices are in these threads, yet so many fail to search instead go straight to the questions forum, create a new thread asking same question answered 5x already. So if someone comes here asking a question only they truly have answers to, are they likely to miracoulsly be independent suddenly or someone frequently needing assistance unable to perform tasks themselves? Once again back to my original post, "they've demonstrated this kind of work ethic already."

Yea I know my answer wasn't something some want to hear but I call it as I see it.
[Touch CDMA General] Jemradary:
I am wanting to two disable the battery indicator that is in the taskbar by default.

I also want to stop the volume slider from working and/or make it work as a brighter and darker light option. Up for brighter, down for darker. Just disabling is fine for now, but using for a backlight system would be ideal for me.

I found a couple programs that can do some of this, but they are to buggy to rely on. If I can find a registry edit that I can manually edit. Then I am sure this will be better.

Does the S21 Ultra support any type of HDMI output via its USB C I/O port?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
What do you mean? ofc it has, you can plug it via a usb c to hdmi hub or use a usb c to c cable to share your screen via hdmi

either a phone screen share or a dex setup
[Huawei Developers] thinknow:
But when i try to open Lzplay i only get this screen when i try to open it.(Translation: Sorry the devie is not supported) Before it quits.

I was going to downgrade it, but my version is low enough? It says it is emui 10.1.0 (see picture)

Thank you for any guidance, really appreciate it! Will mean a lot to get google going !
[Huawei Developers] thinknow:
Never mind, i found out that it should be 10.0.1.136 so i should downgrade, then it should work!
[Huawei Developers] ykjae:
Yes and restore lzplay from backup in 2019. Before you run lzplay though change the date back. Do not run lzplay from 2019. That seemed to hold me up quite a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] samsha:
Hello Samsung Fam,

Just got Bootloader unlocked. and I am looking for options in terms of Flashing a recovery and a Rom.

Running latest firmware Android 11 and the SM-N986W variant.

I was thinking of flashing Dr. Ketan's provided rom, but its a different version right? I can't just flash it on my phone?

New at this flashing tech so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] samsha:
anyone??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] wild_west:
If you are rooted you can just edit the rom that you already have installed . Google titanium backup and get the pro version. You can do unlimited amounts of stuff to the applications already installed to room like removing any app you want by freezing it inside titanium backup
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] samsha:
Hey @wild_west, Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely look into that; I actually ended up flashing Samfw.com_SM-N986W_XAC_N986WVLS1ATK.

I guess I never specified my need to unlock and get a ROM for the note 20. I updated (without researching) to Android 11 and lost the ability to load files from my SD card (mainly for Emulators). I tried my best to find a solution to downgrade but no luck. Ended up unlocking my BL in order to install TWRP (which is failing still to install on the OS)

So now with above ROM, I am back on Android 10, and the apps I need have access to my external SD. So If anyone needs to downgrade, you can try the version above and see how it goes.

Now that the bootloader is unlocked, can anyone recommend which version of TWRP I can use on the OS I installed (and steps as well – TY) With the recovery, I hope to get some adaway working.

Lastly, ( I know it’s a long post ) any Kernals that anyone can recommend for the Snapdragon?

Thank you all.

[Security Discussion] aditya_g8:
I just got delivered a new Poco M2 Pro today,

I didn't want any apps to have intrusive permissions, I wanted to be sure to give whatsapp only contacts permission before I registered..

It was still able read the SMS with verification code without any permissions. I even removed the "service sms" permgission before trying.

I even uninstalled and reinstalled to confirm this flaw. Reported to Xiami with little hope...

Can you confirm this on your device, and post details ?
[Security Discussion] blackhawk:
I don't let any apps like that run... just trouble waiting to happen.
[Security Discussion] aditya_g8:
Luckily this is a spare phone, I am playing around with.

I want to understand, report and maybe even make some noise about this. So either google or xiaomi fix it, have no hopes from Facebook and associated companies.

Would you have any clue how they bypass the permissions? Are they listening for all notifications and reading them? I am very curious
[Security Discussion] blackhawk:
I won't go near FB, Twitter, Instagram platforms.

I don't let apps like WhatsApp even on the phone.

Pretty much blacklisted all of them.

No idea what WhatsApp is or isn't doing but the potential for abuse is there and there's zero justification for me to allow it to run.

Nothing to gain, everything to lose...

Hi

Please guide me i did not use Xiaomi phone but i want order

But have question because its very important for me

can Redmi 9 or Redmi 9a , miui 12 have recording call option ?

for example i samsung phone have not recording call option but when i change european firmware to some Asian country then call recording will active and can call record automatically

So if i get Redmi 9 or Redmi 9a but have not call recording option then can i change officially firmware to other country for activation call recording ? i don't want root

if yeah then please tell me how step by step

waiting for your guide please

thank you
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] mitchell4you:
From what I have read..the Chinese version comes with call recording...

Best to get a Chinees redmi.. there are lots of resellers selling them online

make sure :

It has support for your country's network

Note: there are versions with and without NFC/Bluetooth ect

Buying a Eu version then flashing it with CH version is quite risky

in my opinion..

anyway goodluck
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] PijusPJ:
I was looking into custom ROMs since MIUI has been quite irritating recently, and have found a couple that seem pretty nice. I have the Redmi 9S Global.

I saw Pixel Experience and Evolution X. Both similar to pixel, and I had a Mi A2 previously so I'm pretty familiar with the UI and features, and I liked it a lot. I was wondering, what are the difference between them, which one is better, and if you have any better options, let me know :D

I was also wondering, let's say, I want to sell my phone, how do I get it back to its stock MIUI, unrooted and locked bootloader so that it is just like new?

Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated :D

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] DrGEROH:
My old (2016) SM-T580 stopped working suddenly last month (Jan). Pressing & holding the power button would get me the initial Samsung Galaxy Tab A(6) splash screen for a few seconds, then black. Recovery and download mode didn't work at all.

After getting the back off without damaging anything, I tried a new battery pack, just in case -- no real change, suggesting a failed system board.

I looked at sourcing a replacement system board from ifixit.com (I had good luck with them in the past), but their site was showing this as "out of stock".

I found a (used) replacement system board on aliexpress.com for about $45 delivered. The replacement arrived in just over 2 weeks from China.

The replacement instructions at ifixit.com are mostly correct (https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_A_10.1).

The system board replacement went well: the tablet powered up the first time correctly.

Next was updating the stock ROM for the US region since the replacement was running a stock version for the Nordic countries region: T580XXS5CTD1/T580NEE5CTD1

I found & downloaded the latest US region version (T580UES5CTL1/T580XAR5CTL1) here: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T580/XAR

My first attempt to reflash with ODIN failed due to encrypted partitions on the used replacement board.

To get past this, I used ODIN to flash TWRP 3.4.0.0, started recovery, and used Wipe > Format Data to reformat internal storage.

After that, ODIN flashed T580UES5CTL1/T580XAR5CTL1 successfully and the old tablet is good-as-new again.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Brico_GO:
Hi guys,

do any of you have trouble warming up your phone when recording video?

The last time after 17 minutes of recording, the camera app was turned off with the message that the phone is too hot for further use..https://youtu.be/tyRIFi-bb4Y

Is this normal for long shots?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheNotoriousRunch:
This was the reason I returned my (Exynos) device. For me it was the front camera that would get hot (so that the phone needed to be put down) after about 5 mins of a video call, but on the few occasions I took some pictures with the main camera the heat was indeed unacceptable. Nothing I did (cache wipes, factory resets, latest firmware etc) removed the issue, so I assumed my device was faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mankvl:
Imo normal cameras overheat when you shoot in 8k (some in 4k) so why phones can't. BTW did you film a fireplace ? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Brico_GO:
I recorded in 4K30 and I didn't record the fireplace but the TV screen 🙄

iPhone 11 it’s not near hot as S21Ultra, even after 20 minutes of filming 4K30.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Batfink33:
Nope no issues with my Exynos, never overheated once during video recording. Stays around 35degC.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
It's not normal. Try disabling power management.

Try clearing the system cache.

Try a hard reboot (not reset!).

Try clearing cam data.

Do a factory reset if you did a major firmware update otherwise don't.

Track down the cause(s) and correct by either disabling and/or firewall blocking them.

Many system apks like Android, Samsung and Google are prime suspects.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Post Nine:
17 minutes of recording could cause the phone to heat up a little..no? it seems normal..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
A little not a lot. I've used my 10+ longer then that in warm ambient temperatures and never came close to a thermal shutdown. That's running way too hot...🥵
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dazed1:
Turn OFF all apps from background and turn on airplane mode and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Chavist1:
When I first got the phone it got extremely hot especially when charging. After having it for several days I can say that there is no issue with heating anymore. I think it just needed to go through a few cycles to balance out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blubbert:
I'm thinking about getting an N9860 since it seems to be the cheapest Snapdragon option for a Note 20 Ultra.

This phone appears to support all the necessary bands for my carrier (Koodo) in Canada except LTE band 17. I live in a big city so this low-ish frequency band will be important for reception in areas with building density.

I've seen discussions around changing the CSC to potentially unlock additional bands, but I'm having trouble understanding whether that means all Snapdragon models support the same bands.

Could anyone provide clarification about this? Has anyone managed to unlock band 17 on this HK/CN model?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] muderko:
AFAIK, you can not unlock bands. I'm in Canada too but with Fido and Korean N986N. No band 17, but the reception has been fine so far aside from VOLTE and wifi calling not working.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Aalesund:
I've unlock my bootloader and rooted the phone with pached recovery ramdisk img file. The phone works fine. But now how to do factory reset? Reset option in the phone menu just restart the phone. Recovery option during boot Vol Up + Power button just starts the phone with Root privileges. If I enter into eRecovery menu and tried factory reset again the phone restart but no reset at all. There is no option for reset in HiSuite.

So, how to reset my phone?

I think it's becuase there is no recovery. Instead of boot into Recovery mode now the phone boot into Normal mode + Root.

Is there any fix?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
reset
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Aalesund:
Thanks! During boot I press Vol+ for 2sec and release the button about 5-6 times and phone automatically reset.

But this "2s Vol+" is only for reset or a way to enter into recovery?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
It's a way to enter recovery

this is because the previous unexecuted command (wipe data / factory reset) remained in recovery memory.
