Hey! Long time occasional casual lurker, and I'm finally ready to get my foot in the door and try to contribute back to this community that has given so much to me.

My first experience with an aftermarket rom was Cyanogen back in 2014—a friend gave me an old phone of his and loaded it with the coolest operating system I had ever seen! I didn't understand much (or really anything) that went into it back then, I just knew I was happy to have a phone again. Fast-forward to 2019, and I had become really conscious about Right-to-Repair and sustainability practices, so I set out to update my old Lg G2 with an aftermarket market rom and found myself in love with the different options I had, with eventually settling on LineageOS because of the developers who relentlessly kept up with the latest Android releases. Even now I get the nightly security updates, and that's just awesome. Android 11 on a Lg G2 and the battery is still damn decent!!

Onwards to why I'm here....there's a distinct lack of interest in my preferred model—the Blu G8/V9, released back in 2019, great battery, great function, great value (I've accidentally full on yeeted this phone into water, and when I got to it, it was still playing the yt video under the water, and the speakers made a full recovery not even a day later)—and I want to do my best to build LineageOS on it. I've already unlocked the bootloader for it using a Spreadtrum tool I found on Hovatek (great place to find different tools, but you're pretty much on your own for instructions/terminal commands as the ones they provide never seem to work for anything but the most common models), and I've established that Magisk needs a recovery.img instead of a boot one. When I can get this to root status, I'll be over the moon because everything after that is basically documented over and over for various similar models by Lineage devs, and I'm already a bit familiar with using Android Studio on Linux.

So...hi!

Hi, I wanted to see if I can improve the performance of my slow amazon fire HD 10 (2019) tablet by installing a custom os on it and found an instruction for this problem in this forum. Unfortunately, I am a little bit too late because the amazon guys raised the os version and now the instructions do not work with the new version. Probably they raised the version only for that reason and to slow it down a bit again :cowboy:. But this is an interesting forum and I hope I will find other interesting stuff here and maybe I will be able to contribute to this.

Hi. Trying to learn and share about everything I can.
[Introductions] nachtbrakerdt:
After years of lurking finally decided to become a member.

I am not a developer, but very interested in all kind of things, and he, maybe capable to help someone out.

I did various things in the past like;

radio engineer in the army

radio repair technician for taxi, ambulance, fire workers, etc.

triple play technician for KPN,UPC

narrow casting technician

copper wiring for KPN, like street cabinets, and complete Orion projects to eliminate complete telephone exchange buildings.

Now i started a new job as glasfiber measurement technician, mainly working in a small exchange building, preventing field

engineers to have to go back for really small problems, where clients and principal both profit.

I am 60 years old, so digging holes is not gonna happen anymore.

I was lurking XDA in the past for turning my HTC HD2 in to an android phone, and it is still working. Looking for answers for my rt ax92u problems, etc.

Now i was looking for how to find and install new rom for my MI 11 ultra, and finally decided to become a member of XDA

Kind regards,

Joop Keizer

[Introductions] computerworm:
Hello everyone,

I'm 22 years old, and I've been in love with technology since I was 6 years old. I started out reading instruction manuals for household electronics, and messing around in Control Panel on my mom's Windows XP machine. Since then I've done a lot more exploring and reading, and I've fallen even deeper in love with software and hardware. The past couple of years, I've been experimenting with using Linux on my main computer, and a few months ago I bought a used Chromebook, reflashed the firmware and installed Linux on it. I also recently purchased a used Amazon Fire tablet (HD 10 2017) because I wanted to try rooting an Android, and I found guides on this website to root that model. That's why I'm here now, because although I successfully rooted and unlocked the device, when I flashed Lineage 16 on it, it bricked (I posted details in a reply on this thread).

So, that's my story in a nutshell. I hope someone can help me with my problem. I also hope to become proficient enough at Android to help others here someday, or maybe even participate in development. That would be awesome! :D

Hello there! (not a Kenobi 😔)

Afrer a couple years of reading and taking solutions I've finally registered - I had a solution for an unsolved issue, so here I am.

I'm from Poland, using MiUI for 5 years (if they know my secrets I won't tell any other Korean or Chinese) and reading Your helping threads so far.

and I got interested in Android hidings/secrets, but after I discovered every single step is noticed beside my permission and even my NFC is working when it's "not working", I think it's better not to dig too deep.

may the Force be with U 😃

Hello, thank your for the quick direction for where to start on the site.

Not sure how much insight if any that I have to offer. But Ill try to the best I can. I have absolutely no idea how to code, I tried before to join a site, that I still unfortunately sometimes end up at through links for necessary file downloads to install to do something, Like yesterday, 14hours later, still cannot install Magisk or the ADB's. Have tried half a dozen times at the least to Root my S7, That I'm even now attempting to Root my A7 tab mini is utter insanity. Am quite stubborn I guess. Again, thank you.

Hi, i was seeking for ROMs and advice for quite some time, now.

My main motivation to join was to get notifications for LG G6 bootloader unlock. I was too slow in my decission to finally leave the outdated original ROM, so after reading the manuals and backing up everything, I realized LG took the bootloader unlock tool down permanently...

So here I am searching for a solution to keep my phone alive (i noticed, after a news post on security issues, that the last security patch is from may 2019...).

And to all contrinutors: Thanks for the great job!

Hi all,

I'm TH34ANONYMOUS, of course not my actual name though. I join to XDA to begin experimenting on my Old phones like Samsung. I had the A8 -A530F which installed TWRP and rooted in magick. I'm still figuring out how to do something on other devices like realme, Vivo, and oppo which had good specs and are also worth testing. And also I'm installing nethunter on Samsung A8 (2018) and tryna ask here if anyone could build one since the official kali doesn't make one for this device. I would appreciate it. so much.
[Introductions] Babydollll:
I've been on XDA for forever..I didn't actually make an account until 2010 though. (who knows why? No one cares.)

I'm on and off XDA very infrequently now. I grew up in NYC, lived across the river in Jersey, moved to Mississippi, now I used to be a tester for a lot of devs. SlimROM and tons of apps.

I'm still a tech enthusiast, I just run mostly stock and one of my phones is a fruit phone (family all has the fruit phone, so I've had one now for several years)

Currently I have the S22 Ultra and the iPhone 13 Pro.

I still help people with their devices, and I've made friendships on XDA that have lasted since well....2010 or before.

Hello everyone I have just started my project to acquire and use a de-Googled phone. The first mistake I made was to buy a phone I thought was on the list of supported Lineage OS devices. Then finding it is not yet supported I set it aside for future use since it is common, a Motorola G Play (2021) and can expect support. I have now found a local used Motorola g5 Plus that is in good shape and started to get the software from the Lineage OS site. But GREAT DISappointment ensued when the model numbers listed for the phone run only in different series than that which the phone displays!

Namely I have what appears to be an "in betweenie" with regard to LineageOS supported releases! Here's all I could find on their sites.

Hi all,

Well, I'm a "Linux" and "opensource" technology fan.

Even if I consider myself as an eternal newbee, I try to promote the world of opensource solutions to the general public.

I'm doing a lot of installations of Linux distributions (Ubuntu / Xubuntu / Linux Mint) on PCs to people around me. I do the same (when I'm able to) on smartphones and tablets by installing LineageOS & /e/OS ROMs, giving them a second life!

This website has been a great help to me on many occasions.

I'm also an active member of Ubuntu Touch/UBports community.

I don't have any technical computing knowledge and I'm not a developer at all, but I like to follow all those exciting projects.

I'm pretty happy now to be member of the XDA forum community.
