[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Napafroi:
I will give some more details.

I am using TWRP 3.3.1; I know it is not the latest version and that it is modified (by wzsx 150). This is the one I use because the screen of all the official TWRP recoveries I tested is not responding (the workaround would be to use a mouse) but I don't find that practical*.

So I did the following wipes: cache, dalvik, system and even internal.

Then I flashed lineage-17.1-20210323-UNOFFICIAL-cactus.zip

Without even installing the gapps or magisk, I restarted the system and I'm still stuck after more than 10 minutes, on the boot animation.

I don't know what I can try.

*does anyone know how to proceed to use the latest TWRP version with a touch responsive screen?

U use MIUI 10.0.4.0 to 11.0.4.0?

Instead of using TWRP try modifying it, e.g. Pitch black Recovery or Orange Fox :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] _MOCKBA_:
I reverted to MIUI 10.4.4 and then upgraded to MIUI 11.0.5 after bricking my phone (bootlooping) trying to install Android 11 (Cypher OS 2.5)....

I installed most recent TWRP (Mind! that booting into stock ROM would remove TWRP, so you have to flash Lineage without rebooting when you install TWRP)... Now it has been an hour since this ROM is trying to boot...

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

How could I boot this ROM? Does it only work with MIUI 10.0.4.x?

Is there a way to use VoWifi/VoLTE with LineageOS 17.1?

Thx
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Napafroi:
Something bothers me: after fresh install there is a severe battery drain (wakelock) while I have almost nothing installed (magisk and BBS)

Has anyone noticed this?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Napafroi:
I read somewhere that this wakelock would be related to wifi. So I deactivated the wifi and redid a 16 hours test; the result is not very different:

md1_cldma_peer prevents deep sleep for 19% of the time.

I didn't find much by googling this WL. Ev;en using greenify, I wouldn't know which application to blame.

I'd be curious if someone could show me a BBS capture of his Kernel wakelock.

Hey @EinTim23 I installed your rom (thx for that), starting with the right MIUI version. After a clean install I flashed latest opengapps nano arm Android 10. Everything seems to work.

But I am not able to pass the Android configuration. At the last step there is a message like that: "Account succesfully added". There is a button "next". After klicking on this to complete the setup the app crashes with the following message "System UI wird wiederholt beendet".

Do you have any suggestions for me to solve that problem?

Before installing opengapps the roms seems to run good on that old phone, smooth and stable but after flashing gapps everything seems to be slow and so on.

Because this is my second device for outdoor activities I will consider to re-flash LOS without the need of gapps.

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EinTim23:
Hello,

did you flash opengapps before the first boot?

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] No3ight:
Hey,

no I installed your rom, magisk and after that I flashed opengapps as suggested.

Are there some other variants I can try?

CAMERA can't open and an error message "Cannot connect to camera" pops on redmi 6A, cactus.

Hey ! I've installed Lineage os 17.1, nikgapps arm64 v10 ( When i tried to install openGapps, My phone gets stuck on "Checking for Update" during initial Setup process ) and magisk v21.4.

Everything works great except Camera isn't responding at all and a message pops "Cannot connect to camera". Also, I can't use camera through whatsapp or any third party app.

I've cleared cache, reinstalled OS and Gapps, Formatted Data, but nothing worked for me.

HELP !!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] _MOCKBA_:
I found extremely bizarre problem with 17.1 ROM. It just won't dial with my AT&T SIM. Seems to be working fine with other carrier(s) just not AT&T - I don't get a dial tone. Data is working fine. SIM is also working fine in my other phones, or with stock ROMs (for as long as I care to keep them).

Could it be VoLTE thing? Is VoLTE supported in this ROM?

###

After a bit more research I am sure that the problem I am having is due to VoLTE not supported by this ROM out of the box. AT&T dropped GSM last year and moved to VoLTE and that is when my phone stoped dialing. I figured out how to make it dial by using WCDMA only in Preferred Network type, but I am limited to 4G data. If I am switching back to LTE I am loosing voice.

So did anybody figured out how to enable VoLTE in this ROM?

I've tried enabling it in /system/build.prop - requires rooting, but it didn't work.

From what I understand LineageOS 17.1 should have VoLTE built in for SIM1, but I am not seeing the option to enable it even after modifying /system/build.prop. Is VoLTE not compiled into this ROM?

Dialing *#*#4636#*#* shows VoLTE provisioned etc. It is just that Settings lacks VoLTE options. Any idea why?

Perfect, I had trouble understanding how my SD was used by applications with Xiaomi's ROM, and I always received notifications of insufficient space to continue, I was about to buy a new phone but this solved it. THANKS!

I installed "arm/10.0 pico gapps" to ensure better ROM fluidity and installed it before: " fw-vendor_cactus_miui_HM6AGlobal_V11.0.4.0.PCBMIXM_2a407f4105_9.0 ".

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pranavgpr:
Yes this is still working. I have installed this rom in my redmi 6a today and it works like a charm.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gregory_cooky:
This ROM works fine. My suggestion is that after you format and wipe partitions, flash correct firmware (e.g. from this page)

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/cactus/

and than flash the ROM

It works much better and stable from my point of view. For instance I had problem with formatting SD card or using it as a memory extension. Now it works fine, after reflashing that way.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Avraham Tsaban:

I've used firmware 11.0.9.0 and it's fine for my needs, maybe important part is that I use this phone only for navigation or play some music, radio, etc. !

The next few applications are clones/extracts/repackaged versions of some of the software that comes standard on the HTC Touch and similar devices. So for the Touch, Diamond, etc., I think these are already baked in. But for others, here they are:

FTouchFlo version 1.4.1

Software that mimic's the HTC "TouchFlo" functionality, which allows scrolling with your thumb or finger rather than having to use scroll bars. It also allows for some nice customizations, including the ability to launch different programs via directional finger swipes.

SCLPC++: Cloned version of the HTC Cube

There are a few cubes out there, and this is the one I found to be the most useful & responsive. It's also a 4-sided cube, with the last face being an additional program launcher. In truth, I don't use it as much as I thought I would now that I have it all set up and configured, but it's still pretty cool.

HTC Home Plugin / HTC Home Customizer

Large digital clock, favorite contacts, program launcher, weather, etc., on your Today screen. This can be used to configure, customize, and backup settings for the stock HTC Home as well as the custom one. Install "HTC Home Customizer v1.0 Final," and upon first use it will prompt you to install the HTC Home Plugin if you don't already have one.

If your interested, there are also several other HTC applications and skins extracted from the Touch ROMs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=344533

I also have the .cab file installers for all of these programs if you need them. If anyone has other applications that they enjoy, please share! In particular, I am looking for a more "finger friendly" alternative to the default UI for the Calendar. I very rarely use my stylus, as I find it more convenient to just use my finger or thumb nail. That's a bit more difficult with the default Calendar interface, and there are other things I don't like about it as well. If you've seen the Calendar interface on the iPhone, it's pretty good. Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather have a Windows Mobile device than an iPhone, especially since you can get more "under the hood" and customize it, etc., and there's a huge community of developers making apps for WM. But there are some things that are much better on the iPhone, including web browsing and overall touchscreen responsiveness. But hey, at least we're moving in the right direction. Maybe Windows Mobile 7 and beyond!?

By the way, I recently found this site:

http://www.touch-innovation.com/

It contains links to several different kinds of "finger friendly" Windows Mobile apps, including some of the ones I've listed above. There's a link to an older (free) version of "ThumbCal" on there, and I may give that a try at some point. But it looks like the more recent versions of it are no longer free.

My favourite freeware:

1. Today Agenda: A rather simple Today screen plug-in that allows very flexible customization of information from your calendar and tasks to your Today screen. multiple-day agendas in collapsible line items on your Today Screen. Useful for precisely deciding how much real estate you want to give up for it. I love this program.

2. Amaze: Free voice navigation. Works pretty darned well.

3. S2u2: Slide to unlock program that allows you to dump your unlock line on your Today Screen, provides a bunch of useful info on your lock screen, allows calls, and is highly customizable.

4. Skyfire Beta: I really like Skyfire Beta. It works with most websites and provides full web experience, including streaming sound and video (you can play Youtube right on the browser).

5. Youtubeplayer: A nice means of searching, playing, and downloading you tube videos.

6. Pocket Music Lite: Free music player. No fancy coverflow interface, but a nice skinnable finger friendly interface. Only plays MP3s, but you can just get a converter program for your desktop.

7. Vade Mecum: Nice little ebook ready that reads plucker format. I read downloads from www.projectguternberg.org all the time. Has bookmark, search features.

8. VS Painter Lite: A nice draw and paint program that is free. Useful to annote pictures, draw maps or dungeons, etc.

9. Total Commander: One of the best file explorers out there.

10. Set Volume: Full screen volume controller. Skinnable and nice to hard key so you don't ever have to fart around with some tiny onscreen volume control.

11. Pocket Screen: Just a screen capture program, but very nice at that. Useful for showing off your stuff on forums.

12. Beyond Pod: A nice podcast player and RSS feed reader.

13. Google Maps and Live Search: Indispensible. Must haves.

14. Icontact (Burt's version): Very nice finger friendly contacts manager.

15. PCM Keyboard: Very customizable, essentially gives you the iphone keyboard experience on your ppc. Disable the annoying dictionary and word complete functions however.

Those are my favourite non-game freeware apps.

A shout out to shareware SPB Pocket Plus for having a very stable and nicely customizable Today Screen and Launcer experience. I tried Ulitmate Launcher and had all sorts of errors and problems and have read nightmares about HTC Home and HHC.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mingoz:
Hi,

1. Is there a way to backup / restore apps with their data without root? Does Helium work well on this phone for backup/restore? I noticed Helium was last updated on Google play 7 March 2019.

I have the H990DS with stock Android 8.0.0 with the April 1st 2019 security patch. SW version: V20b-SEA-XX. I have a Windows 10 PC.

2. Alternatively, is there a fairly safe way to root this phone with not much chance of bricking it? I understand that I need to probably downgrade to a 2016 stock android ROM. Can I downgrade, root it and then bring it back to Android 8 while keeping root? I've had experience rooting a RedMi Note 2 and some other phones, but the rooting instructions for the H990DS seem scattered all over the Internet and seem very long and complicated -- I'd rather not brick my phone. I have not been able to find a rooting guide for H990DS SEA with April 1st 2019 security patch.

I saw a guide in reddit (see below) but it was written in Oct 2018 which is much earlier than my phone's current software of April 2019.

My main reasons to root are to be able to use Titanium Backup to backup and restore individual apps and their data. Blocking ads would also be nice, but is not essential for me. I'm not interested in custom roms at this stage -- would prefer that all the features are working and don't want to have to do a lot of fiddling 🙂

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I had an open stock firmware on my LG G6. Unfortunetly I made factory reset as the phone was crashing apps.

Now the phone will boot into TWRP but flashing any of the firmwares is a failure.

First it was unable to unmount /system so i switched it to ext3 and back to ext4. Now the flash ends with result 1.0000 and after reboot im still in TWRP.

I can enter TWRP or start recovery with Vol Up, however in recovery it says with red MODIFIED / E / L / R0 / id :0 ()

I tried using LG UP but im stuck on this and none of the dll's seem to work for me.

How to proceed to unbrick it ?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] calebos:
None of the dll's worked for me. I've let this rest for a few days and then stupidly found solution when searching for an answer, some info that installing LG Bridge might solve the dll issue.

Just a question. Is it now safe to lock the boot loader so I can run android pay?

Hello everyone. Since a few weeks, I have a strange issue, never had before: everytime I open a music player (every music player, musicolet, simple player, lg music player), the phone locks, and it's almost impossible to unlock it, via fingerprint or else, because it locks itself again almost instantly. Because of this problem, it's almost impossible to control the device, to access volume control, and even to stop the music playing. I found that, if connected to a bluetooth device or a wired headset, when disconnected it stays unlocked a bit longer, and it's possibile to stop the player and close the app. But the issue occurs everytime I try to play something, connected or not.

Has anybody experienced something similar? Could it happen because I inadvertently activate some option? I found none, but since my phone is extremely sensitive to "bottom activating..." could be possible.

It's a LM-G710EM, Android 10, december 2020 security patch.

TIA for your kind answers!
