Thanks a lot man..........

it is really useful

I use a program called "slick" and it's awesome. You can run pretty much any messager from it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ekw:
I'd recommend palringo. It's just like IM+, but its free and you can send pics + voices over the chat window!

Very cool thanks guys I too was looking for some FREE IM programs for my TIlt.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
Hello guys,

I have an issue with the notifications not being displayed on the rear display of the phone.

I have them enabled and they work perfectly fine otherwise on the main screen.

Anyone else has this issue or knows what needs to be done in order for these to work on the rear screen ( other than enabling them from the rear display menu )?

I'm running the latest china rom 12.0.10

Thanks !
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] avetny:
Factory reset ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] lunarken:
MINE ALSO....

my rear display won't pop up/light up notification when theres msg
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
Will wait until 12.5 to do any factory rest, really not interested on loosing all my setup because of this.

Moreover, there is a thread for the similar issue on the xiaomi.eu forum of the mi 11 ultra. the reporter there already did a factory reset without success .

Maybe future updates will fix this.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] avetny:
Its a software bug. Wait update.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
After the OTA 12.5 update the notifications still doesn't work..

Did someone managed to get them to work ( where it didn't worked at all out of the box ) ?

Thanks !
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Was there any increased functionality in the rear camera view finder in 12.5 ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
It was exactly the same app version with the same functionalities...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
@speedtripler , you flashed the stable xiaomi.eu ROM ?

Are the rear display notifications working on your side ?

I use the corporate outlook client and the last time i used xiaomi.eu on my mi9, outlook didn't want to work with my corporate account any longer...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I don't generally use the rear panel, update 12.5.2 didn't add any new functionality to the rear screen that I have noticed but I haven't tested extensively

You still can't use it in portrait mode or to record videos which is still disappointing and it still has a 10-15-30 second timeout as far as I can tell
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Raj kiran:
Did anyone manage to fix the rear display notification issue?

I tried in eu rom its working but don't know whats wrong un china rom
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RheinPirat:
Nope. Sometimes, mine show WhatsApp messages for 3-4 seconds. But most of the time.. nothing. Threema messages dont show at all.

I also facing the issue, that Settings->Special Features->Rear Display->Use rear Display disable itself.

Very annoying for such an expensive phone. MIUI EU 12.5.7 - Rear Display Version 1.3.3
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] doribak:
I got the same problem, keeps disabling by itself and notifications do no show up
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
I was actually talking about the main display lock screen but yeah also rear one doesn't work, so nobody knows a fix?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Raj kiran:
Does incoming WhatsApp call show notification for you on the lockscreen and quick settings panel ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Eslam.Elba4a:
Go to notification access > rear display and give permission for it

It's a simple step 😁
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
It doesn't work...trust me i tried it the first time...

Heck i even gave permission to xiaomi framework google services etc...restarted phone, uninstalled app updates, reset data...nothing works

I assume there is some sort of privacy option enabled on the CN ROM that is different to xiaomi.eu or GLOBAL/EEA roms and it gets activated when the region is set other than China or some other region

I'm set to Romania/EU, some other people from EU don't have issues.

Maibe is somehow related, don't know.

Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] themissionimpossible:
Mine is genuine EU model with original EU Rom and rear notifications don't work as well, only received phone calls (all permissions granted).

The rear screen only turns on, showing time, date and battery as usual, nothing else (no red dot).

But I use third party SMS and email apps, maybe only stock apps are monitored...🤔
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
From the videos i saw , a lot of third party apps like WhatsApp are supported.

I'm using the stock messaging app dialer etc.

I do get phone calls popping up, that i can reject / accept and i can use it for rear camera selfies etc.

Other than the notifications ( red dot ) everything else works
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] themissionimpossible:
Apparently notifications from these third party apps of mine are not supported:

K9 mail

QKSMS+

Jorte

Home alarm app

Home banking apps
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] themissionimpossible:
After received official 12.5.3.0 RKAEUXM on my Ultra I still don't see at least the red dot when new notifications come in.

All settings for rear screen notifications are on, all permissions to notification access have been granted, but no luck...:(

Anyone with 12.5.3.0 RKAEUXM got this function working?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
The red dot notification worked perfectly on Global Rom India (IN) v12.0.2.0 and v12.5.2.0

I didn't see it work on Xiaomi.eu's CN ROM v12.5.9.0

And I don't see it in the Global ROM (IM) v12.5.6.0
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
In world Global Rom 12.5.4.0 it works flawlessly
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
But nobody uses that...🤣
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] andrew2432:
Hey, time to upgrade finally. I like the ROM support on this 4a here, lots to try and still some straggling replies here and there. I feel like I'll have better troubleshooting here

I don't like the 4a price, I found a 4 open box for cheaper. I also like the specs on the 4 better. Important things now are root, and gaming speed. If one of those 4 ROMs work I feel like the performance will suit me better?? What's gonna happen if I flash all these cool ROMs on my pixel 4...?

The negatives for the 4a are price and performance but I'm not sure how much different it will be between the two. Negatives for the 4 are 64gb and low activity and only 3 ROMs to try with very little support. I'll save money with the 4, the one game I play might run a little smoother...what's the call guys??
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] EngineerMind:
My simple advice:

I wouldn't let the price effect your decision at all because it would be a one-time "hit" (a one-time problem that goes away as soon as you buy the phone).

However, if the phone you pick doesn't do what you want, then that's a continuous "hit" (you will always have to deal with it)
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] andrew2432:
Good advice. I take it as get the 4 cuz I like it better, price is lower, but XDA is not busy with it anymore/much to begin with.

That's where its weird. I found a 64gb pixel 4 for 250. I know I like the specs on the 4 better. The phone I would prefer before I came here and found a nearly dead pixel 4 forum is the pixel 4. I'm on a pixel xl generation 1, so won't I notice insane performance differences anyway?

The problem here is the cheaper phone is what I want, open box. So kinda almost new to me. The problem with the phone I want is XDA is pretty quiet on it. I don't really expect a reply on the 4 thread, where the 4a seems to have daily activity still. I wanna play with custom ROMs and try them out and use my unlimited data for hotspot. I like the cheaper option for hardware, but XDA is much more active over the 4a. This is my conundrum...
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] mn1968:
FWIW, the past day I've seen several 4a's listed as "mint" on Swappa sell for $250-$265. I contemplated buying one myself but can't really justify it yet. They sold within an hour of being posted. You'd need to be ready to act if you go that route & find one listed at that price. You could also try to negotiate one of the higher priced ones down.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] andrew2432:
The 4 is open box, which I assume is basically new. Returns and stuff people hopefully didn't use long. The 4a I would just buy new to have a new phone rather than 4a. Plus google unlocks it, no OEM unlock issues...

I like the 4 better kinda but again, no responses in the 4 and 2 different responses here just on suggestions. Not even messing with ROMs yet...

The issue is I'll pay 349 for a new 4a, no 5g, for a phone less powerful than my other option at 250. The phone I was is crickets on XDA lol there's two ROMs I would try and if they work well enough I don't care but troubleshooting with quiet threads is not fun.

I guess keep an eye on swappa for a mint one around the same price? But I buy open box usually, not mint. So idk haha. Would be nice to know I'm the only owner of a device.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:
The 4a has way better battery life and more rom options. Also didn't realize how much I missed the headphone jack. That's my 2¢
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] andrew2432:
I figured everyone may want an update?

In true personal fashion I spent hours and days researching which one, was going to go with the 4a, bought a pixel 5.

Paypal credit opened a line way bigger than I expected, and whatever, time I had a new phone lol

Thanks everyone, I'll make sure you all got them
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] mn1968:
PIxel 5 is actually my first choice, followed by the 4a 5G. I can't justify the prices though.

Hope you like your new phone!
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] andrew2432:
I wanted the 4a after some discussion in here, the 4a 5g is on the same page. Little XDA support like the 4, but another 150 and I'm on 5g. That was really tough to ignore. 5g chances my existence entirely. Its available where I live and it will literally change my life lol I know that sounds stupid but its true.

Here's I how justified it:

Took the 349 I had set aside for the 4a, fumbled around, delivered food, went to work, did some math...PayPal credit gives you six months no interest, 699-349/6/4 means I just need to pocket 14.58 weekly, 2.09 daily for 6 months for the difference to have the phone today. This is my internet, sprint (or whatever) unlimited with hotspot unlocked. I have 5 devices connected as I type this to LTE, that's OK? But nothing compared to even the cheapest broadband. But I don't pay for any. The other option is to stash 33 weekly for 6 months and I could remake that 349 AND the difference...somebody needs to give me a better direction if you cannot tell...

5g device, baddest otterbox I can find, and I'm set for 3-5 years. I'm on the pixel xl and its perfect except its dead cell and could certainly use a ftrim, dalvik wipe/art wipe, whatever it is called today, just worried it will break pogo lol god I'm lame plus now I have yet another device to connect to my WiFi lol

Because of that 5g, I was pulled towards the 4a 5g, and at that point its 499 so...applied for PayPal credit on a joke, they gave me a huge line of credit :/ and I got a pixel 5 in the mail lol probably gonna beat the sim card

Hello. I have an issue with my F1 rebooting to twrp. Ive never run into this problem since flashing HD2 back in the day. I attempted a clean install of PE; wipe, DFE, ROM, reboot. Suddenly this time i'm bootlooping TWRP. Help please! 🤦🏾‍♂️😁
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Retrial:
Check the guide of clean installation in my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. You have to format data also not just wipe.

Follow the steps there and let me know how it goes.

BTW what HD2 means?

Will do. Thanks for responding.

Hello all,

My Xiaomi Mi 11 Xiaomi.eu ROM 12.5.1 Stable got issues with the Xiaomi Health App.

I got Xiaomi Mi Smart Body Composition Scale 2 with the Mi Fit App and Mi Watch with the Xiaomi Wear App. When i want to add a new source to my Xiaomi Health App - sync the Mi Scale 2 and my Mi Watch in the Health App - that didn´t work.

Do some one got the same problem or do some one know how to fix it?

Thanks

The installation of this ROM is easy even for me at 73. It is stable and fast. I started testing it. Best regards and thanks to the developers.

I am unable to boot this ROM on castor_windy. ROM will flash fine but I get the red LED flashing when I try to boot.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
I upgraded to 18.1 from Lineage 17.1 after formatting in TWRP and flashing the recommended rom and gapps. Has anyone tried to root? Magisk 20.4 (which to my understanding is the only compatible root with Z2 stuff now) refused to flash in TWRP, so I then tried the latest magisk. Now I am stuck in a bootloop of the Sony Boot screen. I've attempted to reflash TWRP 3.4 and although it flashes successfully, the sony bootloop remains. Maybe time for a factory reset. Its been so long i don't even know where those recovery images are anymore.

EDIT: I forgot to thank @qsnc for support on this. Pretty unbelievable that this tablet is still kicking. Much appreciated.

EDIT2: Flashing the stock boot image from the rom has me booting again. Would still like some input on root possibilities from anyone out there.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] chhus:
First of all, thank you @qsnc for your hard work to keep our device alive.

@bacon612: Getting Magisk to work is a bit tricky on this device. Look at the bottom of the following discussion on github, it worked for me: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/3636
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] schnuff*1:
Installation is possible, coming from AICP 15.0. I've done all wipes, but after restart only a blinking red led comes up.

Whats the problem? To have a working system back i flashed the boot.img from 15.0 and the recovery from twrp. Than I restored my backup....
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Jo_alfa:
Good evening, I tried the rom is very nice and fast, despite having performed the whole procedure I can't get root permissions.

I have flash magisk 21.4 does all the installation without errors in the reboot I do not have root permissions. Hope it can fix this bug. Thanks I apologize for the bad English.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] chhus:
Hi, the standard package of Magisk will not work. Check the GitHub link in Post #7, you will find a modified Magisk 22.1 package for Sony devices there.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Jo_alfa:
Thanks for the advice. Reading everything no one speaks for xperia tablet castor_windy Lineage 18.1. I did some tests but with negative results. I also tried to rename magisk 22.1 in zip then flash with twrp 3.4.0 sc1 does all the installation without errors in restarting the tablet is as before without root precautions. It's a good fast rom and I wouldn't want to go back to 17.1 How can I solve? Thank you
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] qsnc:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/files/6330986/Magisk-v22.1_mod_sony.zip

that should solve the problems people have been having with magisk. no support here for such things though guys, so please keep on topic.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Jo_alfa:
Thanks qsnc this evening I will try it and I will keep you informed if everything went well. Thank you

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] CaptainAdHoc:
Hi everyone,

i've recently put the hands on a MI A2 Lite. The previous user made some tricks on it and I want to do a full reset before trying some improvements on it.

For exemple, the bootloader is unlocked but i don't need it for now. I can run ADB prompts but the terminal doesn't recognize the phone when it's in Fastboot mode (fastboot oem lock OR fastboot flashing lock)

Also, the phone is currently in build V10.0.15.0.PDLMIXM. I can't get OTA updates.

Magisk was installed but i don't now which method was used.

What can i do to restore the phone as factory-like as possible ?

Thks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] pufpufpuf:
There's a bug with Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite fastboot drivers on modern versions of Windows. It is probably fixable by installing "optional updates" from the Windows Update settings screen, but I think that easier is booting up FWUL by @steadfasterX (you can make a bootable USB drive with Rufus) -- it has fastboot/adb drivers pre-configured. Before locking the bootloader, you will probably want to flash the latest firmware -- simply download it, unzip it, and run

bash flash_all.sh

, which will flash it through fastboot. It's a good idea to do this even if you want to flash a custom ROM right after.

Be aware that the stock ROM has some problems with task management, killing background activities very eagerly. I recommend to use a stable custom ROM, like Android 10 crDroid.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
Unfortunately I have yet to find a custom ROM where Android Auto works. So far, only stock makes it possible to use Android Auto on this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] pufpufpuf:
That's a shame. Have you tried different GApps implementations? (OpenGapps, NikGapps, FlameGapps, ...) Also the Pixel Experience ROM has Gapps included, that might help with compatibility.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
Tried them all on most if not all ROM's. Even PE (still Android 10 at the time, but discontinued since) didn't work.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] CaptainAdHoc:
Thanks for your responses.

I tried FWUL, its a great tool but I miss a decent USB stick to get full use of it. So I've updated ADB related USB Drivers on Windows update and it worked like a charm.

I'm giving a try on the last stock ROM for now, otherwise I'll go for CRdroid.

For apps requiring a non-rooted phone (banking for ex), I'll try sandbox apps like Island or Shelter, because Magisk Hide wasn't enough in the past.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Innovator:
Hi,

Can I only increase storage memory by installing a new rom ?

Or is there another program that can do this with a slider or something?

If not, which rom has a lot of program storage? I use YuE's clean rom, so i think the memory is already clean enough but maybe storage is too low.

Its for the problem below, IGO8 is almost completely on my memory storage, i think i have another 5MB short.

Thanks,

Hi,

I ordered a 8GB MicroSDHC and sold my 4GB allready, but i need my gps but don't have a memorycard at the moment.

Is there any trick or registry trick to let IGO search in the memory storage?

It's a small map i have put it with the basemap, licence,... on the memory storag.

I tried to make a directory in program files/igo8/content/map and put the map there, but it keeps searching on my Micro-sd card.

Thanks!

[Vivo X60 Pro+] chilu_chirag:
I wanted use navigation swipe gesture like oneplus and google pixel phone, but vivo provide only 2 gesture

1. Swipe up to home screen, and swipe up and hold to open recent apps

2. Swipe left side or right side of the phone to go back.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] adhd92:
Can you elaborate what do you mean by navigation swipe gesture? Because the 2 options you mentioned use swipe gestures themselves.
