Thanks for all your support with Zest Kernel, and the lovely messages on XDA. Today I've released an update to Zest Kernel for redfin and bramble. The changelog is as follows:

- A bug which caused stuttering and high jitter randomly has been fixed, jitter should stay consistently low now.
- Improvements to the security of your device, with hardening inspired by GrapheneOS and the linux-hardened project.

As always, if you wish to donate my PayPal is available at https://paypal.me/paydiab. It's a great help for those of you who do, as I put in quite some time into my kernels.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mistermojorizin:
For bramble, did you make any changes that would re-enable the zram?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LazerL0rd:
It should be working now (I noticed a mistake in the old builds) but if it doesn't, send me a PM and I'll try my best to release a bugfix by tomorrow evening.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] oraned:
Hello I am pixel 4 XL I'm undecided to replace the pixel for Samsung s21 ultra mainly because of the new camera of s21 ultra the question if it's worth it ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] tfn:
I also have the Pixel4XL and am tempted to go for the S21 ultra either the 256gb or the 512mb version as I feel the 128gb version would be a waster of money with all that 4k videos an 12 bit raw photos.

I also buy my phones for camera and love the fact that you can get close for macro with the wide angle lens and the 3x and 10x zoom look appealing as well.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
For me, I'm over the "Ultra/Max Flagship". I don't need/want to spend $1200 even with 0% financing. I would rather spend $700 every two years for 3 new phones ($2100) than $1200 every 3 years for 2 new phones ($2400). I'm 99% sure I'll get the Pixel 6.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] itchyUnder:
I originally bought the s20 ultra for the camera. The photos from it are great but I also brought along my mirrorless camera for anything worthy of photographing. I have grown to dislike how heavy and big the phone is through the years. I am now back to using my P4xl and enjoying it.

Is there any possible way to to gain access to a device with a black screen without having to repair it.

Hi Everyone,

Got this brand-new Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S that was running MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box. The upgrade to (still Android 10-based) MIUI 12 went without a hitch, but I can't upgrade to Android 11 via OTA, regardless of how many times I tried.

I know for a fact that an upgrade to Android 11 is out and abound for this phone.

My phone runs on a Global ROM (I live in France).

Do you guys know of a way to upgrade via OTA? I don't want to have to download and manually flash a new ROM.

Thanks in advance!

You'll get little or no reward for upgrading but more than likely lots of trouble and wasted time.

At least wait a bit and see what fate befalls other victim users🤭

Hi

Hope somebody can help.

I can't seem to get JumpSPL to run on my Kaiser (yes, im attempting to run it from the PDA not PC).

the unit was a replacement, which when i received it, had WM6 (dont know whatSPL, i guess the default version on all new Kaisers from November 2007.)

Anyway, I upgraded it directly to 6.1 (Official UK O2 rom - which of course doesn't need hardspl flashed).

Ok so then I updated the Camera software to v5 and oh no...radio is incompatible!

Now, Can't upgrade radio to compatile one until I get hardspl installed but Jumpspl not running, (to fix white screen).

HELP!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MeatyCoins:
you have to run a sspl first

copy this to your phone then run it, after you see the usb unplug then replug and run the hardspl ruu

The kaiser doesnt recognise the exe's. If i got the message "from unknown publisher" i know eough to click yes, but doesnt get that far.

The unit seems to have KAIS130 SPL-3.29 (im guessing this was because of the Official ROM upgrade from O2 of WM6.1.

I have decided update my device to ANDROID 11 (EU version). My first impression is that all work fine, and the UI is faster and smoother than android 10. If i will find some bugs i will report here. But my first impression is positive
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pajos.gabros:
Agree with you.

My impressions after using:

UI is smoother

Fingerprint works slightly faster

Gests are now system supported for custom launchers (using Nova Prime)

WiFi income is just better (both 2.4GHz & 5GHz)

Missing icon shape

Uses more battery

When I done update via OTA to Android 11, I lost all of pictures from phone and sd card (backuped recently) - maybe it´s a feature :)

No data lost with previous update to Android 10
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amkirk94:
I'm on EU. My experience:

The Good:

Smooth Experience

Fingerprint scanner slightly faster

We can finally dismiss Settings suggestions

Upstreamed kernel (4.14.180)

The new DND and Bubble features give you some interesting options

The Bad:

Status bar is moved down and fits less icons (fixed in January 2021 update)

Random Reboots (had 2 over 2 weeks time) (no random reboots since January 2021 update)

WiFi is not auto-connecting when I return home. (still present - March 2021. Not everyone is facing this issue)

Sometimes when I answer a call the UI freezes on the incoming call screen, even though I can hear the other person on the line. (no freezes since January 2021 update)

Still no call recording 😞

No screenshot button on the power menu (still present - March 2021)

I'm not a fan of the notification categories

No built-in screen recorder 😞 (added in January 2021 update)

The animation of closing an app is extremely fast. As a result I'm not always sure if my app actually closed or not (got used to it 😅)

Sometimes the status bar disappears after exiting a full screen app (still present - March 2021)

[-] sdcard /lib/modules/3.4.0-8.14-Re4son-3.5 doesn't exist or isn't mounted.

<<<< End of Script >>>>

So i think that the problem is with free space,,, you need to have at least 8gb for minimal installation,,,
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsPdSr:
You have to update nethunter.apk through the f-droid store.

If you encounter problems while installing nethunter, download the app from the web store.The url is at the end of the site in the nethunter store under references to find.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnDoeYT:
Hi guys, I have a Nexus 5 and It wasn't imposible to chroot too, I guess the problem is to not have enough free space in /system, so I decided to reparttition disk with gparted and adb shell command. I set to 8GB /system and it didn't resolve anything because it caused other issues, I think messing with partitions is a gamble.

I attach to you the bash script that resizes Nexus 5, you can modify it like you want. Then only:

1. "adb push repartition.sh /"

2. "adb push parted /"

3. "adb shell"

4. "chmod +x repartition.sh"

5. "./repartition.sh" or "sh repartition.sh"

Reboot and flash the kali rom you like.

WARNING: IT DOESN'T WORKED FOR ME, I THINK I CHOOSE BAD PARTITION SIZES, AND LATER I HAD TO RECOVER THE PHONE WITH STOCK ROM.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] furrycnorm:
I have a Titan through Sprint and have been hearing a high pitched buzzing sound from the back of my phone once in a while. when it starts it wont stop until I soft reset. I have also heard a crackling noise like static. It isnt very loud, but so very annoying! Any ideas? Think I am going to update to the latest radio and dcd rom tonight, now I am running dcd 3.2.0 with 3.35.40 radio. I also have not been able to get my computer to recognize the device through activesync since updating, tried troubleshooting with different pcs, os, reinstalling and hard resetting with nothing. Any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] LilRico:
I have also had the same problem. I some times get the buzzing sound, if not, there's a popping sound that takes place when ever a sound event is supposed to be playing when I have my phone on silent/ vibrate only. I have been dealing with it for a while now and ROM updates or radio updates haven't helped me either. I was thinking it was my phone that was going bad or something, I didn't know someone else had the same issue as well... Weird....
[Mogul, XV6800 General] furrycnorm:
what rom/radio versions are you using?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] iamdink:

if it keeps up i'll just warranty the phone
[Mogul, XV6800 General] LilRico:
DCD 3.2.6/ radio 3.42.50/ SPL-2.47 Nochem. I was thinking it might be SPB Shell... Do you have any SPB applications?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] furrycnorm:
no I am not using any spb apps. just upgraded to the newest nochem rom, haven't heard the buzzing sound yet, but we will see if it lasts
[Mogul, XV6800 General] LilRico:
Okay, let me know. I also haven't heard it in a while, so IDK... It does this when the phones on vibrate/ silent, so I'll leave it like that and see if it makes a popping sound.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] shubhanyu:
Personal take: This seems to me to occur due to custom ROMs, since I have personally NEVER had this issue with a stock ROM, and sometimes have experienced this with custom ROMs from both DCD and NO2. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] TheCodeBenders:
Had the problem with the original stock XV6800 rom from verizon, been dealing with it ever since.
