[About XDA developers] Scary Guy:
Okay, I'm looking for a new phone. I've been on this site (maybe not having an active account but using it at least) since I got my first Android phone. This site has been a beacon or at least a jumping off point to anyone who has wanted to get into customizing and modding their phones for YEARS.

This gave me the idea of why not have the forum statistics posted in an easily viewable format? I figure the phone with the most activity should be the most developer friendly phone (or the most popular one anyway, and I know just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good.) Still I believe phones with more activity are probably more friendly to devs than those with less activity, because they're in the hands of more people looking for exploits/vulnerabilties to make the phone do what they want it to do (and then hopefully patch those as well.)

Now indeed there are a LOT of spam posts as well, I see them when I get nostalgic and visit the Atrix 4G forums. Maybe you can filter out all the 1 or 2 post accounts/anything that has gotten banned from those metrix somehow?
[About XDA developers] indestructible master:
it would be good idea, but at the same time, not good idea.

imagine how much that would make this forum even messier?

how search engine will handle such tasks?

popularity quickly changes, and there are no way to determine what is popular or not.

if post is getting a lot of views, is that indicator?

a lot of downloads? what if he post download on third party website?

and, when devs release ROM, mod, they go silent for some time, so they can develop more ..

as, indicator can't be what is viewed mostly, and what is downloaded mostly.

think of something that will make it do automatically, to determine what is popular or not.

as computer algorithm can mark some old phone dev friendly, because it have a lot of views, or posts, and when you look at those posts, you see it don't make sense, posts are about "how to unlock this unlockable phone".

TL; DR

there's no way to instruct it properly (machine), and it will clutter forum and forum search even more,

but we can make separate section which is maintaned by all moderators, so one person don't have to handle all., and that section can be properly handled by search engine in forum.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tweakforce_LG:
Has anyone worked on getting project treble on the n9005 Snapdragon Galaxy Note 3?

I have seen it be added to the Xiaomi mi 3 (Snapdragon 800), LG G3 (snapdragon 801).

Is there anything in the works with this phone, or is anyone experienced enough to take a look at it?

Running generic android images on the phone would mean much larger ROM choice.
[General Questions and Answers] dman861:
I've posted this question several times in the Galaxy S8 forums but I've never got any replies, so I thought I'd try here.

I have been wanting to upgrade my Exynos Galaxy S8+ to newer versions of Android, such as 10 or 11, for some time now but neither Android Auto nor Google Assistant hot word detection seems to work. I use these applications every day and their lack of functionality are the only thing holding me back from upgrading past Pie on my S8+.

I've tried several of the Galaxy S8 ROMs such as LineageOS 17/18 and Hades, and I've tried flashing OpenGApps Nano-Aroma, and NikGapps Core + Android Auto and Google Assistant addons. Nothing works.

Has anyone been able to get Android Auto and Google Assistant to work on any Android 10/11 ROM, and if so, could you please let me know how you got them to work? Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctschrodinger88:
I have P3113 - Tab 7.0 Wifi/IR blaster. The cable that came with it (ebay) does not seem to support USB data connections. charges just fine. I bought another wire online (this was years ago) to no avail, still no data connection.

In comparing to the image here: https://pinoutguide.com/visual/gen/samsung_galaxy_tab.jpg (with pins being numbered 1 on the right and 30 on the left, I have pins:

3	USB_DP_CON I/O	USB Data +
4	USB_DM_CON I/O	USB Data -

7	V_BUS_1 P
8	V_BUS_1 P

15	Gnd P
16	Gnd P

30	Gnd P

Which seems like it should (?) work for data transfer with a computer. (make a lot more sense than the inverse)

I've looked around and have seen a lot of pintouts to modify things to support audio or whatever else, but does anyone know if the pinout I have is valid for USB data transfer? Is there something I can do to get the data connection working? Or do need to play some roulette with cable buying? (Any recommendations?)

I've popped the casing off the plug and it seems like wiring there should be mapped correctly, though it does look like it's cheap for sure, but there's no resistors or anything, wasn't sure if there needs to be for "standard" data usage.

Any thoughts would be great. I'm not looking to do much more as to hardware hacking right now, just getting it rooted and then more or less a simple controller.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Fábio Abibi:
But did you test the other ones? Is Arrow lighter than stock rom?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
hmmm i think the issue with ur request is that the "lightest" rom is not necessarily the one that works best @Bugs. arrowOS 10 is indeed very good, updated my gf's G5 Plus to it recently and no troubles so far. from what ive seen any android 11 roms are not ready yet in terms of bugs / running flawlessly. as for storage / ram, general rule of thumb: the newer the android version, the bigger the rom / more ram it uses.

however, u should be on the lookout for android go roms, pie and 10 coming soonish.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Axel_13:
Yeah! It is lighter than stock rom. I haven't tested Android 11 based custom roms. Most of the them have tonnes of features,but I personally prefer Arrow os as it has all the necessary customisation and is very well optimised.

However,you will lose moto camera,when you switch to custom rom.so I recommend you to use a stable gcam mod like this one,

Parrot043: MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V8.apk

Download MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V8.apk by Parrot043.

Additionally flash a boot logo which will remove bootloader warning.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sdfdsgfgfdh:
Whats the meaning of "G" in task bar ?? (big icon)

GSM or GPRS ???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kien:
G = GPRS

3G = er... 3G :D

H = HSDPA
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hazarry:
Means you are on GSM network. The small G means your data connected via GPRS.

The big G can change depending on your cellular network and coverage

U - UMTS

3G - 3G

H - HSDPA

more info by reading the manual.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pizzabomber:
As well as...

GPRS is possible when u r in GSM, because it's an extension of the 2G Net (also GPRS is called 2,5G). UMTS is possible when u r in 3G.

The second small "G" says that u r in Internet with GPRS. So if u don't have a cheap contract, u will have costs, when u see this. Klick on that icon to disconnect.

The first big "G" on the left of the small "G" only says, that u already have connected today to the GPRS Net. Normally billing in GPRS is that u have to pay one time a day for connecting to the net, an then only paying for the amount u download. But there are also time based billing contracts.

If you don't have any cheap contract for mobile Internet, you can disable all Internet connections with tools like NoData or AdvanceConfig. So autoupdates have no chance for causing costs.

Hopefully i didn't tell u something wrong and could help u ;)

EDIT: Too slow :D

To clear up: G is GPRS, wich is not 2,5G, EDGE is. 3G and UMTS is the same.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] MattP410:
I was just notified that AT&T is upgrading and ridding themselves of 3G. I was also given a list of phones that will still work on the network. The U11 was not included in the list, but my ancient One M9 was. That doesn't make much sense. So will the U11 become obsolete on the AT&T network next year? Any insight on this matter?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hammered58:
Matt from everything I have read,, yes att and cricket both the same company will shut down their 3g network and go with only phones capable of "hd voice" and our htc u11 from what i can gather does not have this quality/software/ chipset or what ever it is,, built in..

More here

What is HD voice? And why is phone call quality usually so bad?

We're used to seeing the HD moniker on videos and TVs, but now it's being applied to audio. Essentially though, it has the same meaning – high definition as in high resolution. Join us as we answer the question – what is HD voice?

www.androidauthority.com

So it looks as if we are truly screwed when it comes to elgible carriers in the near future for are antiquated u11. I have already been forced to leave cricket for simply removing my sim and reinstalling,, Maybe someone can further explain why this is hd voice thing is a issue with the u11, did htc simply forget to add the codec???
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] MattP410:
I get that they are dropping 3G, but voLTE should still work right? When I make a call it says 4G instead of LTE, but I can't find a definitive answer on the difference between the two. Does it look like Straight Talk is going to follow suit, or do you think that our devices will be compatible with them indefinitely? I'm glad you answered because I wanted to discuss it with you, but I didn't want to do it on the LOS thread. Thanks!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Golv:
I can only confirm that my HTC U11 with LOS 18.1 can make calls with HD voice technology (this should also support device with which you have a voice connection and your mobile operators) and also my device works with VoLTE technology.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hammered58:
I dont think it matters what is done to the phone to make volte work or if volte works or if hd lte works,, once the phones imei is flagged for removal from a carrier there is no much that can be done ,,, as far as I know,,,,,, I can go to Cricket and input my imei and it says not supported.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] MattP410:
Yeah, I think you're right. It just won't be carrier supported. I had to activate my SIM in the One M9 and then put it back into the U11 just to get service. The AT&T system didn't recognize the U Ultra or the U11. Now it's just a game of wait and see if the service gets cut off a year from now. Probably be joining you on Straight Talk.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hammered58:
And joining staight talk is a crap shoot as well because the sim package you get for activation is a choice of 3 sims, either att compatable, tmobile compatible or verizon compatable,, my choice was the att compatible sim,, so i guess its a waiting game !!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] MattP410:
Yeah, I called Straight Talk today and asked them if any phone incompatibilities would happen in the foreseeable future. The dude was on autopilot though. Just kept saying to get a bring your own phone kit and the phone would work. Not sure if he ever truly understood what I was saying. Is your device a dual-SIM?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hammered58:
single sim,, and just a side note , after getting kicked off of cricket I went to t-mobile and ask them the same question , and the guys responce was that they had no plans of getting rid of the 3 g or limiting lte connections. So I went with them but the cell signal was so bad in my area I had to switch to something else , my last hope was straight talk or buy a new phone, uggg ,, I have 2 u11's ,, thought they would last more than 4 years,, they might but the window is closing! lol
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] MattP410:
Yeah, T-Mobile coverage is terrible in my area too. I just got my U11. Flashed it with LOS. Got it in stable condition. Been wanting to replace my U Ultra for a long time with it. Can't really afford a brand new flagship, plus I'm just stuck on HTC. I love their devices. Then I get this news. Literally made me sick to my stomach. I just hope and pray that if AT&T does kick me off their network, that Straight Talk will be my loophole. Hope it keeps working for you too, man.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mrharmon1974:
The phone companies and phone service providers are in bed together. Radio wave technology is the same as ever just fancier. All the fuc^ng 5 gigahertz radio signal output did was enable the cell phone providers to be able to completely shut down half their towers. The higher the gigahertz output the further the signal will carry see? Radio waves bounce up and down, these higher gigahertz are for DISTANCE not penetration. Mobile homes with the metal rooves and siding? Screwed. Brick house with treess in the yard? screwed. Because the radio waves at that high of a gigahertz doesn't penetrate worth a damn! They ALL screwed the customers, now forcing us to once again upgrade when this phone is perfectly capable to continue. Sorry. They all are. Hard to notice you completely loose service indoors when there is wi-fi internet automatically hooking up and taking over your data flow. You'd need a Yagi antennae and a broadcaster to put in the house to bounce the 5G signal around in your home, just like cable wi-fi. Get it? My HTC U11 works perfectly FINE with the internet providers 5G signal output and the 2.4 G output. So why will these phones not work with the carrier 5G? Think about it. I upgraded my 8 year old computer to be compatible with 5G simply by changing out the antenna that snaps in the motherboard. These cell phone companies and providers are screwing us to force us to keep purchasing more and more equipment, and the cable providers are helping them by disguising the loss of service with their wi-fi routers. Damn greedy bass turds.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hammered58:
You are dead nutz on , ever since they switched to 5 g my cell service is crapola,, as I live in a area with trees and hills, never had the issue before,, I was forced to sell my u11's at rock bottom prices, now even with a newer pixel I still have to rely on WiFi calling to hold a decent conversation. I could buy a 1500.00 flag ship and the results would be the same.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mrharmon1974:
A yagi antennae pointed at the closest tower with an internal receiver set to 5g should have the 5g signal all in the house like a cable wi fi router. They are not difficult to set up. A person not very electronically inclined could set up the broadcaster. The antennae is not that big and easy to mount. Use the cat 5 cable to connect outdoor antennae to indoor broadcaster. The diagram for which wire color goes where should be shown. Before buying make sure all is 5g capable. Just Google search they are on sale on the internet probably not very high they used to not be but the world is different now lol

[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LehKeda:
All TWRP version is not compatible with the OneUI3.1 update samsung has released a few days ago. So in order to be able to flash custom ROMs or other things you need to use this recovery instead.

Notes:

- You can only flash files from USB thumb drive (OTG drive), from an external sdcard or using adb sideload

- Only FAT32 thumb driver (OTG drive) are supported. So make sure you formate your drive to FAT32 before using it with lineage recovery, otherwise, it won't be able to read your drive

- this recovery version only supports latest ADB version so make sure you're using it

Installation:

1. Reboot to download mode

2. Flash the file using odin

Download:

LineageOs-18.1 Recovery

ADB and fastboot

Bugs:

- Data decryption doesn't work

- Fastbootd

- Can't flash file from device internal storage

@LehKeda I have a general question: am I right that LOS 18.1 recovery *in general* does not have native USB OTG support, but that you added it manually into your edition?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LehKeda:
it supports it, but sometimes you need your device usb.init.rc file to initialize USB and OTG stuff
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RootedLee:
Hi @LehKeda Aha. I'm having compatibility/ reliability issues with another device's USB OTG sometimes working and sometimes not in TWRP regardless if it was flashed the recommended way into the existing LOS 18.1 boot as RamDisk (via the new "Flash Current TWRP") or if it was flashed to boot directly to boot instead system.

Regarding LOS 18.1 recovery, just now this second I finally see the LED lid up on my flash drive connected via USB cable.

All this is intermittent, and I tend to need to go through several hoops to finally have USB OTG working. To make things even more convoluted, it's definitely worse with the latest LOS 18.1 recovery/ boot I just applied yesterday, then TWRP added (again as RamDisk). I do not know if TWRP uses its own USB OTG drivers if run flashed to RamDisk, or if it relies on whatever is present in the LOS section of the boot partition after repackaging by TWRP.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so let me detail the issue in the other thread. I'll post the link shortly. I'm sure it's just a few files missing like the one you mentioned, or a 100% correct config inside such a file.

I appreciate your expertise and will be back shortly :)

@LehKeda here: Nokia 6.1 TWRP 3.6.0/ 3.4.0 USB OTG Instructions

The TWRP in question: from the TWRP for DRG_sprout page, the latest official 3.6.0

LOS recovery/ boot images from Builds for PL2. The recovery I've been having best results with as base for TWRP is lineage-18.1-20220118-recovery-PL2.img.

I'm aware the Nokia 6.1 (my phone) and the 6.1 Plus (the one that TWRP was developed for) aren't exactly the same, but with everything else working, I doubt that the slight model differences are the cause for the USB OTG being unreliable; plus TWRP 3.4.0 [UNofficial] for the Nokia 6.1 has the same issue..

Maybe you have an idea over there how this can be stabilized 🙂

Be nice if there were more options than the 4 or 5 they give you
[LG Velvet Themes, Apps, and Mods] audietron25:
You won't be able to edit the default accent colors since they are installed as system apps. On phones without the option, it was possible to sideload it and actually install modified accent color apks. I've done that on the G7 not too long ago.

Your best bet would be to create a theme if there's a particular color you want. It's not trivial but you could use the accent apks as a source for resources. Definitely don't use third party themes for that.

If you're still on A10, there's plenty of themes on the Play Store that change the QS colors.
