[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] graey:
Maybe it's too much asked, but I figured I'd just try:

would you (shark147) mind cooking a rom without the Opal keyboard and with just the previous one to see if that fixes 16-key problems? Maybe with 1.2.3, or else with 1.2.4? I really look forward to using this ROM but xt9 really needs to work with my hardware keyboard for it, so it'd be great if you could cook one without the opal keyboard to see if that works...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] djharty:
Hmm, looks very good, but I can confirm the following problems:

- Manila2D: Cant't add Programs to Program tab

- Camera not working

Keyboard is ok on my german XDA Star with 20 keys.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Boesboes:
The full rom has more problems...

- for example adding programs to the manillawigdet ,

- camera as noticed before

- cannot add weather locations .. just cannot do it :)

- cannot open slideshow from manilla.. ( htc album link?)

I tried the normal manilla Rom (LILLY ROM v1.2.1 - OS 5.2.20753 (Build 20753.1.4.0) a few days.. it's so shame that the htc quick action slide is disabled.. can it be turned on somhowe?

Need File datadisconnect.exe (Ver 1.12.0.0) from the kitchen thread you mentioned.

I write here, baucause i don´t know that you are reading in the other thread again.

I have the same problem like you with the on/off button.

Maybe you could upload this file her, or PM me.

The file you are mentioned isn´t in the OEM Folder, because it is updated.

Thank you in advance.

Install Mainilla2d update 16

Hi

It seems you can fix all of these problems by installing the latest Manilla 2D update 16. Everything including adding weather and programs now works for me. Link is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398173

Shark147- thnaks for the greta ROMs and regular updates. Given that we have to Hard reset each time, can you suggest an easy way of backing up settings.

Also, I have got quite attached to SMS threading in previous WM6.1 ROM's, can this be activated by default?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] shark147:
Hi at all,

In the next release i REMOVE ROM LILLY FULL, because HTC HOME and MANILLA2D are incompatible.

I cook 8 version:

1°) HTC HOME NORMAL 20Keys

2°) HTC HOME NORMAL WITHOUT Keyboard for user 16Keys

3°) HTC HOME + CUBE 20Keys

4°) HTC HOME + CUBE WITHOUT Keyboard for user 16Keys

5°) MANILLA2D 20Keys

6°) MANILLA2D WITHOUT Keyboard for user 16Keys

7°) MANILLA2D + CUBE 20Keys

8°) MANILLA2D + CUBE WITHOUT Keyboard for user 16Keys

when do you think you release these new versions?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] shark147:
I hope soon :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] graey:
Man, that's good news. Gotta take up some of your time though, cooking 8 versions. Or do you have some batch file setup so that once you've set it all up you can walk away and come back to see 8 ROMs finished?

Looking forward to it, anyway :D.

Allright! sounds good.. tnx

Any bluethoot problem on this Rom? flashed it allready.. :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] graey:
One more question :P

Does this (or 1.2.4 when it comes) have HTC Action Screen enabled on slide open? Or should we install it ourselves and use SlideActions for it?

And the same for press-and-hold-end-button-menu? :P
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] shark147:

[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] patrickt:
Now that the Xperia 5 III has been officially announced and the specs delivered, any thoughts on comparisons with the Xperia 5 II and the chances you'll want to upgrade?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] PPGX5II:
Only noticeable hardware changes I see are Periscope camera 108mm and 4500mAh battery (and 5G in US with SD880). Other looks to be software changes which should be do-able on Xperia 5 II too but Sony will not add those looking at earlier pattern. Unless anything from above is must for you I don't think there is a reason to upgrade. At least I am not planning on upgrading this year as I am reasonably happy with 5 II :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Yakkosmurf:
I agree the hardware changes do not make it an instant upgrade. But, it's good to see things moving in a good direction.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] patrickt:
I agree and I'm eager to see actual samples from both the 1 III and 5 III. I thoroughly enjoy Photo Pro.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Yakkosmurf:
I decided to pull the trigger and upgrade. Main driver was the improved telephoto lens setup and the 5G capability on T-Mobile USA. I went from a P30 Pro to the 5 II, and the lower zoom level of the 5 II was on my few complaints. While the 5 III doesn't have quite the reach, the quality is better with brighter lens. And, I like the 70 and 105mm steps.

Handing and use is very similar to the 5 II as expected. Some people have commented the 5 III runs warmer, and I have experienced that. But, it's not something I would have noticed if I wasn't paying attention. The phone definitely runs a little snappier than the 5 II, also as expected.

Picture quality not from the telephoto lens is about the same so far. I'll need to take more pictures to get a fuller picture.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] patrickt:
Thank you for your input. For a variety of reasons I'm still dithering. It helps that I'm running the updated Photopro but can you tell me the version your 5 III is running? I'm on 1.3.A.0.24.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] PPGX5II:
Even though there are few improvements those are not enough to warrant $1000 upgrade. I am more than happy with my 5 II and don't plan on upgrading for at least another year.

And as Patrickt mentioned I too manually upgraded all Photo/Video related Apps and those seems to working fine.

Waiting for A12 to see if that upgrade brings something new but enjoying my 5 II very much!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] patrickt:
Is 1.3.A.0.24 the latest version of Photo Pro that can be installed on the Xperia 5 II?

Yes, it is

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CessnaBroon:
Hi Interweb!

I was wondering just how many people were still "in the know" on the topic of rooting, unlocking bootloader and general Android development for the Tesco hudl2 [HTFA4B] tablet. Obviously with Tesco's little trick of shutting down the servers, two thirds of us were left with Kitkat, and having had enough of it, I decided to root. Everything went fine. I booted back into Android KitKat (stock) and then installed Xposed Framework. Presumably the installation failed, as upon rebooting, the tablet booted straight into stock recovery. I have been seeing this for two months now, having removed the battery several times, refitting it and trying to reinstall android with the ROM form this link:

hudl2_ota_rel.android-build.20150803.092218_to_rel.android-build.20150917.142239.zip | GEM-FLASH Firmware

firmware.gem-flash.com

Either way, I am now faced with a soft brick. Does anyone know how to fix? The exact text displayed in Stock Recovery is down below.

To be clear, I occasionally DO see the "powered by android" screen before booting into recovery, but not every time.

A possible solution would be if there is a fastboot mode I can access, I may can use Odin and flash a Custom ROM onto the tab. Or, alternatively, if anyone has, or knows someone who may have Tesco's key signature, that too would be useful in building a ROM.

I've had this tablet since I was 7 years old, and it's been part of my life for many years now. If anyone can help please do :)

Many Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
Hey, just got pinged by XDA after a long time. It's all so sleek-looking now.

I'll cut to the chase—Unfortunately, I've got nothing to help with here. I'm a fan of the Hudl2 as well and still have it around as a backup ebook reader as the screen works reliably. It's running walking stock Lollipop and it occasionally throws up Play Services errors (which appears to be resolvable).

Following the dead download link on the MoDaCo forum post, I searched for stock ROMs and landed on the same Gem Flash site that you linked. Specifically, I found 3 results linked to the Hudl2. For the sake of future visitors, I've downloaded and attached all 3 of them to this post (in case it's locked, the password is "www.gem-flash.com").

I wouldn't get my hopes up, but it might be worth giving each a go. Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin with flashing but I think you're way ahead of me here.

Genuinely wishing you the best of luck, and I really hope it works out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CessnaBroon:
Thanks @Rickav . Presumably you saw my DM.

All three come out with:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:end of footer from /tmp/update.zip not 0xFFF (File exists)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

once adb sideloaded in stock recovery (all I have access to).

Is there any chance of you making a nandroid backup zip using the CWM fastboot custom recovery in "hudl2 root stuff.zip" on MoDaCo? I know it's asking a lot. @paulobrien might send me a system image and couple of OTA zips and other assorteds for a start which may help. Before I attempted Xposed I was trying to get Lollipop but the OTA server has been decommissioned (confirmed by Kirwan Lyster, head of hudl2 software), so if I can do that by other means that'd be great. Fist priority though: get it running. You can see by the video what is happening.

Many thanks,

Cessna

[OnePlus 9 Pro] ddizzy81:
There has been 0 talk about any ROMs or development for the OP9 and it's been over a month since release. Does anyone know if any developers are working on one??
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GreaterLesser:
The OP9 and OP9 Pro don't even have unofficial or official TWRP support yet, so a custom ROM is kinda out of the question until TWRP is on the devices. OP9 Pro literally just got it's first custom kernel 2 days ago. I don't know what the time frame is for custom ROM development but a lot of it hinges on getting TWRP support for the phones.

Side note: You said OP9 in the OP9 Pro forums so I'm gonna assume you were referring to the OP9 Pro. Regardless my statement about needing TWRP support first applies to both phones.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] craznazn:
TWRP is absolutely not necessary and will most likely never come out for later OP devices, including the 9, unless they figure out the decryption problem. See the 8's etc, plenty of dev and none of the TWRP.

Regarding dev, it's happening, but no need for discussion here until something is at least in a semi-stable beta build.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GreaterLesser:
I apologize for my lack of knowledge of what happened in the OnePlus 8 scene as I didn't have that phone. I came from the 6T. But looking through the 8, 8 Pro, and 8T forums, it seems a custom recovery is still needed for custom ROMs. Only difference was the custom recovery was provided by the ROM Dev and not TWRP.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] galaxys:
It's early in the game.... will be happening!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
We don't have a TWRP build yet, I've been looking to build one but there's a problem with Android Image Kitchen which should hopefully be fixed soon, I'm guessing that's why no-one else has built a recovery. You can read more about it here.

Custom roms are kinda a non-starter without TWRP (or another custom recovery)

OnePlus has been messing up with their source for a while now too, not to mention that we're still getting regular updates to the original release which might mess with kernels too.

We might be another month before you'll start seeing enough stability to start getting custom roms.

EDIT : Looks like AIK might be working properly now, gonna have a look and see if I can get a TWRP build working, although there's no other phones with the same resolution so that might be a problem to get some resources. LG G3 has a similar resolution but not exactly the same, it's very important for the touchscreen setup for TWRP or else the buttons on screen won't be where you're actually tapping.

For anyone else who fancies trying their hand at it, there's a porting guide here.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GuyInDogSuit:
To add to what @craznazn said, a custom recovery isn't 100% necessary for custom ROMs. The 7T didn't require it to flash any, as a fastboot method is doable. Developing them is another story, though. Some custom ROMs were based on OOS, while AOSP ones still had some bases from OOS (YAAP, for example, was a Pixel-themed ROM but required you to have OOS11, in some shape or form, installed prior to flashing it because it needed vendor files and so on.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GreaterLesser:
The Samsung Galaxy S20, and S20 Plus have a very close resolution to the OP9P

[OnePlus 9 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
Sorry to say. But portions are what we are talking about. Resolution has no bearing on getting TWRP working. Ex op7tpro
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GuyInDogSuit:
Portions...? As in dimensions? It is true the screens are different sizes, as well.

In regards to OP's post that there's been 0 development talk, well, not exactly zero, as unlocking and rooting, as well as conversion from T-Mobile to global, enabling dual-SIM, and the MSM and QPST tools needed for such, have been ongoing for some time. There's no custom ROMs, sure, and I get that a custom kernel was just released, but a massive part of development is simply discussion, throwing around ideas, research, testing, etc. It also helps if more devs happen to purchase our particular device (and thankfully this is something we won't have to worry about for long). It's worse when a device gets little to no development because it simply isn't popular enough to warrant much development. I do get the sentiment that it's been a while, but I guess we'll just have to be patient.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
Partitions sorry typo. Also they just released kernel sources not very long ago. In order to build you need these. The dev here had this up and running on his device for a while, but just like ROM devs the first two or three bases they make are not for public and take a long time to work out bugs. Secondly twrp is not required to flash a custom ROM did it via fastboot on my op7tpro. Development is up to owners. You have an unlocked bootloader and kernel sources. If everyone is *****in about development start developing. Download a Linux distro or wubi and and build one for the community. Everyone *****es and doesn't contribute.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GuyInDogSuit:
Ahhh. That makes more sense now.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mattie_49:
Op8 doesn't even have a working twrp for A11 yet. So that's not it at all. Twrp does nothing for our devices as far as roms or kernels. You flash a kernel through a kernel manager and All the roms flash through fastboot & fastbootd. That's def not it. But it will however take time. We need msm tools prior to messing with things anyway. Or we will all be in a brick like state. And a main dev for aospa which is Paranoid Android has a 9 . That will be soon I'm guessing.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GreaterLesser:
Thanks - Someone already explained this earlier.
