[Galaxy Tab 2 General] manmtm:
I just revied mine. It's pretty old almost a decade, or IDK even more? Tab 2 7" GT-P3100. I have installed Resurrection Remix by @smart-t78 and Noob Kernel by @bipindr123 because of the sweet 1.2 GHz overclock. I have installed it yesterday. Batteryis alright. extSD card port not working. Ther's a bit orangish tint on top left, but overall usable completely.

There are some stuff though which I want to clear. In the default launcher if you are home screen and rotate your Tab then you have this ugly gray overlay/shadow on left and right side of the screen, I'm trying to get rid of it. Looks like I will need to download a launcher or something. Also want to change the fonts and icon. Just that. Also AdAway is not getting installed, seems like I have to install and older version because it says it cannot parse the APK package while instealling.

I want to use this tab as a secondary monitor to my PC, look for it how to do it, but first theme stuff.

I also will suggest to root your device and then use some kind of kernel editor to choose governor for CPU (default is Interactive which works alright) and also tweet I/O scheduler according to your need. Look for the guides of these things if you are not familiar with the terms.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Protopia:
Just bought a GT2 P5110 for 30€ in almost new condition. Want to upgrade to a custom Rom before I do anything else because this is easier when there is nothing on it.

Research suggests I should stick with Marshmallow - currently going to try RR5.7.4 first with Omni6.0.1 as a reserve (unless anyone has a better experience with an equivalent or newer ROM).

Not sure whether I am going to add Gapps or not yet. I am probably going to want to have (at a minimum) Google Calendar access and perhaps Gmail. What do people recommend?

Any other thoughts on rooting, Magisk, custom kernels etc to get better stability (and performance)?

You need to do more reading.... As i saw what you wanna do i know you reeeeaaallyyy need readiing like a loooot.... Don't cry later about lags, hangs, reboots, etc....

Tip: WTF gapps???? Realyyy??? 😈
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Protopia:
This is why I posted here. I have done this sort of custom upgrade on other devices but new to Tab 2 - so I want to make sure I am going in the right direction before I make a mistake.

So what is your recommendation? Leave it on the stock 4.2.2?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] drnightshadow:
If you can't stop using gapps than yes stay on stock..

If you can live without gapps than you can use any newer ROM and use f-droid store app.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Protopia:
I am currently on RR 5.7.4 Android 6 with slim gapps and it is very stable, as fast as stock and no lags. But I had to try various Gapps before slim and they all had problems.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] joma227:
I am using ORION OS 2.8. Still the best für me. Of course without GApps (not nessecary) ! Aurora Store as a Substitute for Google Play. I can say, that I tried almost all OS's from XDA for my 5110. I tried Stock, 4.4.4, 5, 6, 7 every single from Slim, CyanogenMod, LOS, RR, Omni, Dollmen. I always came back to ORION2.8, which is the stablest, smoothest and working ROM for installing nearly 99% of Apps. For me of course.

Andy saves cool, I have a GTP5110 wii fii working thanks to his work I tried several roms but the only one that really works is the omini 6 the others hang a lot of error messages, I've been running the omini 6 for about 3 years I tried other omni ones but no it worked out. I even need to put a newer, more lineage rom for me, it didn't work, many error messages and some failures. I'm even researching at the moment to see if Andi's miracle worker has any surprises.

[OnePlus 9] lrod55:
MOD Edit: check post #25#25 before you proceed.

As title suggests, I am trying to convert from the T-Mobile software to Global or EU. Have already read the threads claiming you can just flash the firmware that you want and everything will work fine as long as you also flash the T-Mobile carrier, modem, modemst1, and modemst2 images. However, there is no local upgrade option in settings, so I decided to go the manual route by downloading full zip, using payload dumper and flashing all required partitions, including the T-Mobile modem partitions and whatnot. Well, in terminal when trying to flash certain ones, I get the error:

FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions

')

fastboot: error: Command failed

So I basically just reboot, nothing seems changed and I still have a working phone. What gives? I'm coming from the OnePlus 7 Pro and although had my ups and downs (generally forgetting a step or making small mistakes) it was a fairly easy experience and I could usually just retrace my steps or do some research on forums and figure it out. This time I have looked through so many forums here and on other sites but I can't figure out what's going on.

Details:

Phone is fully functional as of right now

Running 11.2.2.2 (T-Mobile) attempting to convert to 11.2.4.4 (EU)

Had mobbdeep network unlock for me, then requested unlock token from OnePlus, flashed unlock_code.bin, unlocked Bootloader

Successfully rooted with Magisk, although failed SafetyNet so installed latest canary build and everything is working flawlessly now

Can't local upgrade, can't flash via Fastboot, no TWRP available for this device, is there anything that I am missing? or another way that I can flash full update or partitions?

I know I may seem impatient, but I've seen so many others say they already converted to global, and it's working after flashing necessary modem and carrier partitions. Just wondering EXACTLY how they were able to do it, when I followed exact steps from these threads and I've done this sort of thing so many times in the past it is downright frustrating at this point. I've also contacted OnePlus to see if there is an MSM tool available for this device and they sort of made it seem that there was and said my concern will be escalated and I will get a response via email within 24 hours (fingers crossed).

My next steps will be to re-lock the bootloader and start from scratch. After that, I guess my only recourse is to wait for TWRP or MSM tool and official guide for converting to global ROM. Thanks in advance for any and all clarifications.

Side Note: Already tried fastboot flashing unlock_critical command and similar ones, always returns message saying already unlocked. And the conversion guide I was following was from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/tmo-eu-global-the-way-i-did-it.4264883/
[OnePlus 9] LLStarks:
Certain partitions need to be flashed from the bootloader fastboot, not fastbootd.

Either way, there is no going back to the T-Mobile firmware as there's no unbrick tool yet.

Don't do this.
[OnePlus 9] inspron:
Curious, do you have the stock T-Mobile oneplus9 regular boot.img you can share ? I am looking to try several things on my end but I forgot to backup that img file. Thank you in advance.
[OnePlus 9] lrod55:
I should still have the boot.img I backed up from stock 11.2.2.2 (T-Mobile). I'll attach it here when I get off work
[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
+1 . I myself love flashing things and have the unlocked op9. Just got in mail and unlocked and rooted this evening. I however will not be flashing anything but magisk updates till an msm tool is available for us to use.
[OnePlus 9] lrod55:
This should be the stock boot.img from the 11.2.2.2 T-Mobile build. Named it that way so as to not confuse it with stock boot image from 11.2.4.4 (EU)

[OnePlus 9] lrod55:
Will heed your guys' warnings. Just was super curious (and confused) as to how others were able to get it to work
[OnePlus 9] jaed.43725:
Following in case there is a breakthrough. I hate the locked T-Mobile BS. And all I want to be able to do is stay awake while charging. My 6 did it no problem. But this thing is making me mad.
[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
You know the unlocked global version works with carrier sims. I'm on verizon . Bought the unlocked 9 popped the verizon sim in and everything works perfect. Vvm/5g everything. And unlocked to my liking
[OnePlus 9] jaed.43725:
Yes, I am very aware of that. The issue is I have the T-Mobile version because I got if 1/2 off with a trade in. Will this warrant a trade after I pay it off? Maybe. But I would rather just put on Lineage OS if that becomes possible.
[OnePlus 9] ChrisFeiveel84:
you flash from bootloader (fastboot) or from fastbootd

FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions this is when you flash in fastboot

[OnePlus 9] TheKnux:
You know there's a specific option under the development settings called 'stay awake', right?
[OnePlus 9] jaed.43725:
I can not select it. It is greyed out for some reason.
[OnePlus 9] jaed.43725:
On the T-Mobile version it is not selectable.
[OnePlus 9] TheKnux:
Yeah that's BS because I definitely selected it while I was backing up my data before I converted from T-Mobile firmware.
[OnePlus 9] nujackk:
I'm on t-mobile version i can select it as well. Pretty sure everything in developers options is selectable. Some don't stick for whatever reason.
[OnePlus 9] jaed.43725:
Ya, I don't know what this things deal is. But as soon as I get the ability to flash to international I'm doing it.
[OnePlus 9] jaed.43725:
Where is the guide for flashing a OnePlus 9 from T-Mobile to International?
[OnePlus 9] lrod55:
Btw for everyone following this thread, its an easy to miss step, but if you follow the guides for converting, all you have to do is go into fastboot and then use command “fastboot reboot fastboot”. This apparently puts you in fastbootd (never had to use this before, I would just use commands and flash stuff from bootloader screen but whatever) where you can then flash the needed partitions. Also, no hate to the guy who posted the recent conversion thread but it is super unorganized and a little too easy to miss that step, as well as MAKE SURE you read through the .bat file they provided because it is NOT correct. They have some typos in there so it wasn’t working for me at first. It’s a pain in the ass but I highly recommend going through each command, copy/paste, and read it to make sure there’s no typos then hit enter or you will run into errors like I did. Good luck

I successfully rooted my Moto G Power 2020 but when I try apps like emoji switcher or startup animation changer they don't work. It seems like any apps that changes thing's don't work even though they have superuser access. Iv checked with root checker and I do in fact have root and I have Magisk installed so I'm not sure what the problem is. This is my first time rooting so I don't completely understand this stuff. I also have no custom roms roms installed
[P3600 Software Upgrading] students:
Can I use the p3600i Roms listed on the sticky thread at the top of this page on a plain p3600? I understand from a quick search that you can't flash a P3600i with a P3600 rom.

Which P3600 Rom out of the bazillion choices out there will be best for maximum stability? Any links?

Thanks.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
NO and read the some comments on the original threads of each ROM that interests you....
[P3600 Software Upgrading] vnt:
Hi Andy,

i know we can't flash 3600 ROM to 3600i ... and vice versa as you said but do you know why?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
For exactly the same reason...the header which tells the ROM which memory to use.....64 or 128.

I know this can be changed, but the 2 ROMs which are dedicated P3600i ROMs have identical cousins in P3600 versions....so what would be the point. All the other ROM's are ones that we were able to change the header to suit P3600i from P3600.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Corgar39:
So recently I was having some fun with magisk modules. I was on pixel experience 11 plus and all worked fine but then I found a module for some photo processing . After reboot it started to boot loop. I wasn't worried it already happened couple of times. I did my buckup and reinstalled the rom. I did all good but I lt keeps on boot looping. I installed stock miui and it worked but the second it turned on it says android setup isn't responding. I couldn't turn on the wifi, sim card wasn't reading so I tried again to install pixel experience but it's the same thing. Can't use my phone and I tried a lot of things. Is there any way to repair this manually? Like copying some files?. Plzzzz help
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] yaro666:
What did you do already?

You messed your system. Make a full wipe, partiton and install stock rom.

When I had samsung it was caused by modem - you can try to flash only some modules, but it will take some time to sort things out
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Corgar39:
I did all the wipes and yet nothing worked or I did it wrong.

Ive heard about this modem or nhlos files or something like that but I don't really know where to search for this stuff.

Ive rooted my phone to install root explorer. Now I know that installing another Rom wouldn't change anything and instead I have to find a right file to flash or copy. I will do an update if anything works. Thanks for respond
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
When switching ROM, you should Format Data, not just wipe (not the same thing in TWRP) - you can still do it now.

And flash the tgz MIUI firmware by XiaoMiFlash, not just the zip firmware by TWRP. Or, at least flash also the vendor zip firmware

[Android Head-Units] motleyakayeti:
I've searched for my particular scenario and I haven't exactly found it. I have a 10.1" android headunit sold by Rongji listed here:

Amazon.com: Android 10.0 OS 10.1 Inch IPS Screen Car Stereo DSP 2G RAM Car Radio for Universal Car Touch Screen Car Multimedia Navigation Support Bluetooth WiFi 1Din Stereo with Mic Map Update: GPS & Navigation

Amazon.com: Android 10.0 OS 10.1 Inch IPS Screen Car Stereo DSP 2G RAM Car Radio for Universal Car Touch Screen Car Multimedia Navigation Support Bluetooth WiFi 1Din Stereo with Mic Map Update: GPS & Navigation

www.amazon.com

I've wired my reverse camera into the back of the headunit for power and the AV cable is plugged in accordingly. When my vehicle is running and I go into Reverse, nothing happens.

However I can click on the F-Cam app and choose reverse camera and the image shows while in Reverse.

Is there any way to make this happen automatically?

I've not understand the comments I've read through where some say the reversing action is managed by the headunit software not by F-Cam. If anyone can explain that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for help, links, info.
[Android Head-Units] Bob_Sanders:
F-cam has nothing to do with the back-up cam. It's just a separate app which allows manual control of the cam. You don't need F-cam at all for the reversing cam feature to work.

If you don't have a can bus box then you need to connect the reverse trigger wire to the reverse lights (the orange wire from the head unit).
[Android Head-Units] JovanSRB:
If car has canbus, it can be solved by adding relay. Activated by reverse light power, relay is suposed to switch some stable voltage to suply camera. For example cigarette lighter voltage can power camera. Here:

[XPERIA X1 General] liddlefeesh:
Does anyone know if this device is coming to T-Mobile (UK)?

As far as I know, NONE of the UK carriers are publishing any information about this phone. Perhaps because they don't want to lose current sales to people who would otherwise hold out on a purchase of a new phone until this one releases.

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X1 General] sproxy:
Not sure about t-mobile but vodafone had this as coming soon on their business shop for a while.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
The issue is that I set my S21 Ultra to max volume for bluetooth devices. The phone remembers this setting during use. But after a reboot, the phone reduces the volume when playing over bluetooth.

When connecting to the very same bluetooth device after a reboot, the volume is very quiet.

This behavior seems to ignore the media volume limit settings, two different settings and both are ignored:

1) Turn off media volume limit

This doesn't work because the phone still reduces volume to bluetooth devices after a reboot, and continues to behave as though media volume limit is turned on.

2) Turn on media volume limit, but set custom volume limit to maximum

This doesn't work because the phone still reduces volume to bluetooth devices after a reboot, and continues to behave as though media volume limit is turned on.

I feel as though most people stopped paying attention to this bug because they don't reboot their phones very often, and the issue shows up after a reboot. However I prefer to reboot the phone every night at 3:00 am.

FYI this is particularly frustrating for use in a car, because I toggle between radio (listen to talk radio shows) and bluetooth (listen to podcast), so when you set the car's volume for listening to the radio, it's unusable when you toggle to bluetooth and can't hear the phone very well. For car radio and bluetooth to be heard at the same levels, the phone needs to have it's media volume set to max. But after a reboot the phone lowers the phone's media volume despite any settings in the media volume limit controls.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Spaceminer:
Settings>System>Developer options>Disable absolute volume

Try turning that on. It might solve your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Thanks. My car is from 2012 and it doesn't support absolute volume. I had the same issue with my Galaxy S9+ until Samsung finally patched it.

I think they are just including the same bug with the S21 Ultra, where settings for Media Volume Limit are ignored after a reboot, and the phone forces the volume setting lower.

Just to be sure, I've followed your suggestion and toggled the developer setting on for the disable absolute volume, because I dislike that feature anyway. Unlike my car that doesn't support it, my bluetooth headset supports bluetooth absolute volume and I dislike how it works.

I'll reboot the phone and test it out in a couple hours when I go driving, to see if the phone again lowers the bluetooth volume and post an update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
No, this did not help. Absolute volume is disabled, and I connected to my car and set the phone's volume to max.

But after a reboot, as before, when my phone connects to the car via bluetooth, the phone decreases its volume as though media volume limit is kicking in.

As for settings, my phone has the media volume limit toggled on, and the custom volume limit set to maximum. So the volume is being changed to lower than maximum, approximately 2/3 setting. So the phone is not respecting the media volume limit setting with the custom volume limit.

As mentioned earlier, I can also turn off the media volume limit, but get the same frustrating behavior where after a reboot, when I connect to a bluetooth device, the phone will lower its own volume setting to 2/3.

It just seems like a bug where the phone always uses a hard-coded 2/3 media volume limit, and disregards the on/off setting for media volume limit, and also disregards the custom volume limit.

Can anyone else actually try this with their phone to confirm it's a bug? The issue happens after you reboot, and connect to a bluetooth audio device. The full volume setting is maintained so long as you haven't rebooted since setting the volume level.

I'm still on the April firmware, T-mobile, so I'm really hoping the May update will address this bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Does anyone else see a different behavior?

Will your phone always reduce the volume and prevent max volume, after you reboot and connect to a bluetooth device for audio output?
