[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers] seljak007:
Hi guys, I'm new here. I haven't been playing with custom roms for a while now but I have xiaomi mi 8 se for which I would like to set up a custom global/eu rom. I read a lot of posts here and tried to do it but without access. First I applied to unlock my device via Xiaomi procedure, waited X hours and then went to download and install rom from here: https://mifirm.net/model/sirius.ttt#global

That's when I realized that I have to find fastboot rom for this way of flashing and there isn't one for global or eu version. After a bit more reasearch I decided to do it on my own with TWRP (just found out how that works). So I downloaded one from here: https://mifirm.net/model/sirius.ttt#twrp and after some time (and a lot of small steps I learned along the way) I got it installed.

Then I downloaded non fastboot EU rom and tried to flash it through recovery(twrp). Problem here is that the whole recovery is in chinese so I had to watch other people videos and compare location of buttons so I'm not sure I pressed everything correct. After "flashing" phone stuck in fastboot boot loop. Here I panicked I bricked the phone and downloaded "normal" chinese rom with fastboot and flashed that MIU flash tool. This went well so now I have factory reset phone with the same/similar rom I had before. I know this is an old device and probably there isn't some easy solution but I would love to hear if someone with more experience can give me some advice how to correctly flash eu rom (non fastboot). Also is there some version of twrp that isn't chinese and it would be perfect if I can flash twrp with fastboot (if thats possible).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers] NesaiOmachi:
For recovery: Link

Recommend to factory reset from TWRP before flashing any ROM. And speaking of custom ROM, can I recommend to you the Pixel Experience? It's the most solid ROM right now. If you are interested, you can try out.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers] seljak007:
Hello NesaiOmachi, thank you very much for your advice. Pixel experience looks great, my only prerequisite is that it has google play services support so will definitely check it out. I found this page with ROM downloads, can you please also point me which version to choose and which twrp (from your url) is compatible with it?

I assume I have to install twrp with ADB tools from my PC (already have that setup up), then I enter TWRP and do something like this: https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-install-a-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery/

EDIT: just saw there are instructions at pixel experience site, awesome! Ignore my message, will try with latest twrp and latest pixel rom and see how it goes

Well.... I am for once happy with my titan.... It reminds me of a phone now.... No more typing messages and waiting for the characters to catch up.... No more horrific waiting of the screen to turn from portrait to landscape.... It's almost as if.... I upgraded the ram on my phone..:D but i didnt.... All i did was install nuechems 6152-3pre3....and put it in the high mem mode... I was kinda sad about the high mem mode turning off the camera....but wow.... it was well worth it... Ephing amazing.... The best of the best.... but then i thought... it's too bland... so installed Manilla 2D..... WOW!!!! once again.... AMAZING.. and i'm not a lier... it's just as smooth as an IPHONE..... i'm talking about super smooth.. It's pretty much like butter.... :D

No one asked me to write this.... But i wanted to give the people that made this possible, a big thank you.... I no longer want to throw my titan at a wall... I am no longer jealous of the IPHONE (though the text app on the iphone is still much cleaner looking) but wow.... thanks

[Mogul, XV6800 General] hotspace:
I too am very, very interested in this release. But, all i've ever done is add cab's or plugins. i want to be as happy with my 6800 as you are with yours.

Is there a how to??
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Aneres11:
Hi everyone.

I know this thread is hardly alive with activity haha but picked up a P40 Pro this morning from CeX in the UK. Had some stuff to trade in like older games etc and managed to bag a black one for £190.

My main phone is a 12 Mini but bought this solely for the camera and to basically have a little tinker with. So no problem about no Google etc as I won’t be using this as my main phone.

Phone has some light scratches so hoping a screen protector and a case will cover it up nicely, but does anyone have any recommendations for a protector that doesn’t interfere with the fingerprint scanner?

Any overall tips for using the phone and getting the best from it?!

Cheers
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] muj123:
I've stil got the original one that was pre-applied
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Aur3L:
Yes, get Gspace from Huawei's own app galley, or somewhere in here on xda, and use your favorite gms apps ad libitum. And enjoy the manual mode it allows really palpable adjustments thanks to the size of the RYYB sensors and the lens combo.

If you want to play some games, well you can, just download the Google games app and any of your liking, then, clone it in gspace, that way you can then download the play games app another time from the playstore, create a shortcut on your home screen and play your favorite games the way you left them on your previous device, all scores synced and so on... Cheers.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Shymmy:
Or you can install GMS and use the phone without any restrictions ...
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] ruben1515:
I agree, I installed GMS day 1 I had this device and its been amazing.

If anyone stumbles upon this, this is the guide I used. This way was a lot simpler than using the Googlefier method.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] mampfer:
I should get my hands on a P40 Pro as a replacement for my Xiaomi Mi 9, which recently developed touchscreen issues.

Was looking for something good in the 300-400€ range used, almost went for a OnePlus Nord 2, but the P40 Pro just blows most of the competition out of the water in terms of specs :)

I'm also happy to have a bit of an experiment with a Google-free phone.

I basically only ever use my phone for webbrowsing, emails, messengers and maps, so the only thing I will have to replace is Google Maps.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Shymmy:
Maps is working without GMS, but without login option.

WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram is working fine too.

Some of the bank apps doesn't work (can't pay thru NFC; you can use Curve or iCard for that), Android Auto also ...

If you install GMS, your phone will be fully functional.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] BillyWroth:
Okay so yesterday I decided to finally try to install TWRP to flash a custom rom on the system, but never thought it would give so much headache. My drivers were bad, the system locked and android 11 updating making the phone all sorts of bugs, I was anxious to get rid of it, and I did somehow. I was unable to flash TWRP into the recovery as the system partition type is different than usual for it seems, but the recovery partition was all weird, "no command" was stuck in the screen even after a hard reset through there. So I got Magisk and got Root and used Smart Flash to install TWRP through the running system and it landed successful. But when going to the recovery the TWRP screen was flickering, but I could send ADB commands yet and boot normally, I just couldn't access the recovery functions yet. So I flashed a different version of the TWRP with the IMG and the zip folder and nothing worked then I realized that maybe I should erase the partition before flashing it and then the murder. I found a tutorial on erasing stuff, but the whole process cost me more than twelve hours as I messed with so many things and was kinda learning the hows and dos.

But then I saw the command "fastboot erase system -w" that was a shortcut for all cleanup processes and I was wanting to wipe it again even to recover my google backup and be able to use my messenger apps. But it did erase, of course, the whole system and everything, simply destroying everything, but yet stuck in the fastboot screen. What I did? Well, I downloaded the TGRZ of an older version of xiaomi mi a3 firmware, the android 10, as I was tired and thought that maybe if I downgraded it I would get my phone to get rid of android 11 bugs and sleep for good till tomorrow, that is today. I ran the script to wipe anything and install the system over it and it did successfully, then the message "successfully installed, press any key to finish" but then the prompt closed and the phone tried to reboot but fell into a hard brick. The computer recognizes the device as the name "QUSB_BULK_CID:0411_SN:EFCF04FD" and the hardware ID "USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008" matches the original.

So is there anything I could do yet? Phone warranty ended in january and that's why I tried that process, it is any worth?

xdaforums.com

I never encountered this issue so only do this if you're absolutely sure you have no other means of flashing anything on it (i.e. through fastboot), and use the appropriate firmware at all times for your specific model
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] BillyWroth:
well it seems I recovered it back, I bricked it and somehow it just got into EDL mode without cable or opening it up. So I found a tutorial back on reddit showing how use GFIL to install the stock rom back. I used android 10 stock rom before bricking it, but as I just flashed everything on empty partitions it didn't work, it seems that the Qualcomm setup needs some kind of previous work to set everything up. Anyways I managed to boot it, but now I'm aware that I should use Lineage recovery instead of TWRP as Mi A3 support is lacking, that's why after installing it I got it flickering (no compatible version with the latest Android 11 firmware).

Part of the touchscreen is now unresponsive.

The last thing that I did before it broke was charge it on my Samsung Wireless Charger.

- didn't drop the phone

- no physical damage on screen

- no recent OS software update

- screen was still working this morning -> charged on wireless charger -> suddenly became unresponsive

- tried safe mode and turning it off and on already. Will try to Factory Reset after backing up

Anyone with similar experience? Searching online points to a damaged digitizer, which requires a screen replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winoles:
I don't think the charger is the culprit for the unresponsiveness, I have charged all my notes up the 10+with some really old charging pads, one is an old generic one that I bought for a a note 3 back in the days!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] AllanRSS:
So my Note 10+ screen broke so that I can only see the top 15% and only touch the bottom 60%. I booted into TWRP to backup everything, and now I'm in a situation where I can't turn the thing off. I am unable to press the shutdown button, only the download mode and recovery mode buttons. I am also unable to press the ADB side load button to send a shutdown command. It will be quite some time before I am able to fix the screen, so I don't want the phone battery to be sitting dead and degrading for a month or more. I already tried draining the battery and then plugging it in to charge, but the phone automatically booted into TWRP.... hardware key combos only reboot, they won't shut down...

Does anybody have an idea how to power off my device? Or to reboot into system or gain ADB access without being able to use the touchscreen? Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
TWRP should allow you to use adb commands already.

You can use fastboot continue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] AllanRSS:
I am trying to use adb from another Android device to the broken device using an otg cable, but the ADB otg app does not recognize it. From my memory, when I had tried to use adb in TWRP I always had to go into advanced and press the ADB side load button, but maybe this is different with fastboot? Unfortunately I do not have access to a computer right now, or a mouse for that matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
What are you trying to do exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Bomn:
A bit convoluted but ...

Volume down + Power - forced reboot, right after vibration with USB cable on switch to Volume Up + Power . maybe boot to recovery !?

Odin - Set get system Info on - force reboot ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] AllanRSS:
Thanks for the recommendation, but the problem is that I am stuck in recovery mode. I am able to boot into recovery and download modes, but not into the normal system mode. If I could boot into system mode I should be able to use the lower half of the screen to shutdown the device, or use adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Bomn:
Yes, I understood that, last opcional on recovery is shutdown?

Just press up and then power?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Bomn:
Unless you can't boot to the default recovery? That's why I suggested Odin.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] hardtheory:
Do you know why sometimes there is always on application counting time while my always on is deactivated ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Plathoon:
Same "bug" for me.

I decided to delete it because i never use it.

adb devices

adb shell

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.aod

Application will not appear in your battery stat then.

It is safe to remove only if you don't want to use it. You will not be able to reinstall aod after that.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] hardtheory:
Thx, disabled it with xiaomi adb .👍
[Shift Development] saiweb:
I used thaihugo ROM as base for this. Thanks to thaihugo for providing this.

I added GoogleMaps, YouTubePlay, VicSoft Clear Temp, Adobe Reader LE for Diamond. Replaced current USBTool with modaco ShiftPack.Liberate. This fixes the Registry setting needed to install cabs. The only registry setting you need to do is changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang value to your keyboard. You can find those values in plirom 2.00 thread.

I have also placed links to USBTool under Programs\Comm (thaihugo ROM has here) and also under SnapVue Settings (ShiftPack.Liberate does this). Here in SnapVue Settings you will see a link to SoftReset too. This is exactly what Shift.Liberate does currently whenever you liberate using modaco's procedure.

Memory:

Free Storage: 28.58 MB

Free Program: 21.21 MB

Here is the link to download RUU_Signed.nbh

Use CustomRUU.exe that is available in thaihugo and plirom threads.

The next upgrades to this ROM are HTC Voice Recorder, once I figure out how to enable the microphone, .NET 3.5, Screen Capture, and HTC official YouTube Player replacing YouTubePlay. I am also planing to remove original calculator with 1-Calc.

Disclaimer: This is a cooked ROM and is supported by neither Microsoft nor HTC. Neither I nor the ones from who I learned how to cook should be held responsible for any malfunctions or irreversible damage that may cause by flashing this ROM to the device. Use at your own risk. Bottom line, I take no responsibility for the damages that may happen to your device by flashing this ROM.

GPS from Windows Vista

Thanks to everybody i wish to thank every body who help me, and ask you for explain me how can i connect that GPS from Windows Vista.

The GoogleMaps version is not the update one in your Rom. Could you put the update one (ver. 2.2.0.19) in your next upgrades?

Thanks.:)

I will do that. I am working CHT version of the same. In that I will put GoogleMaps 2.2.0.19.

[Shift Development] saiweb:
Hi Martiare

There are two ways

1. you could use external bluetooth receiver that your vista side could use to connect using BlueTooth or USB, easiest and fastest way of doing it.

2. If you wish to use internal GPS of Shift then, you need to install either thaihugo's ROM, pliROM or RamROM, which can be downloaded from this forum (search is your friend). Once you install them, you have multiple options, but the one I use is using Franson's GPSGate Client for Vista and WinMo. I bought this for $49 and I feel good investment. Install GPSGatePPC on WinMo side, and GPSGate on Vista side. Configure GPSGatePPC to work on ActiveSync. Configure GPSGate to receive signals from ActiveSync. And install Maps software such as AutoRoute or Micosoft Streets, Earthmate etc. on Vista side and thats all.

Thanks

Ram
[Shift Development] Hileotech:
First of all let me thank you and all other "cookers" for your continuous effort. I've been following the birth and the growth of quite a high number of ROM's, and I still can't understand if it's a good or a bad thing... I mean: surely everyone that flashes a newly cooked ROM acts as a beta-tester for the "chef" and for all other users that don't dare or simply can't flash a new ROM each week. Moreover each new ROM, even if adds some (in)compatibility problem, solves many others (just think about the possibility to use GPS). And this is the good part of the situation.

On the other hand I feel a bit confused. Each new ROM has many good things, but lacks in others, IMO. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but for instance I would really like that PliROM's home could be the standard for each other ROM. And that's just one of the things that I (and each one of us) could point up.

May I suggest to write down a list of the components and let a survey start? If 90 people over 100 should prefer PliROM's interface instead of original Shift one (again: it's just an example), why to continue developping ROMs with other interfaces?

I say this because I'm absolutely unable to cook anything, and I think that many of us can't.

Of course I'll go on flashing new (stable) ROMs, trying to beta-test :cool: , at least for a few weeks... than I'll have to go back to work and I wouldn't run the risk anymore to loose data or hardreset :D

Pure Snapvue

Hi Sai ;

Even though the user interface is really limited , i -personally- prefer using snapvue ...

So ... is there a way for you to

-either let me know how to disable the top bar with the start menu on your liberated rom

or

-cook a rom only cab-install and gps enabled , so that i can go on my own way...

My very best regards

Safak
[Shift Development] hkesunny:
Hi Ram,

Thanks a lot! If you can cook the 2nd CHT version with the updated GoogleMaps will be perfect! One more request, can you use pli6128's plirom v2.00 WWE 1.22.405.0 96dpi to cook the CHT 2nd version? Because I tried and feel it's user friendly and the key buttons for both contacts and programscan be address. Also, I found it stable too.

Thanks.:)

Thanks Ram and cookers!

Installed and working. Just one query about the GPS side though.....

I'm using a UK version of the shift for starters that is only a few months old. I've fllashed the Rom as above and also installed the GPSGate software on both sides. That all seems to be working fine and the WinMob side has found the GPS Module on COM4 and is receiving data but no location. After having read the other threads I appreciate you have to stand in the middle of a field for i to pick up the satellites. Unfortunately I have tried this and it still isnt picking them up. Is it possible that HTC has now stopped installing the GPS Antennas in recent Shifts (no, I haven't opened it up to look)?

Any other ideas?
[Shift Development] Hileotech:
This sound great to me!!! Thanks a lot :D :D :D :D
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Honestly I don't know if they might have removed it. But to be sure, look if you have any data comming in. Do you have any sattelites inview when using HTC GPS util? Look at the sattelite tab.
[Shift Development] FHS1425:
in HCTC GPS Tool (Settings tab) press Open Button, in the lower part you will see some scrolled text, when you run GPS software for the first time you have to wait for 15-30 minute to recieve the signals, then go to Satellite tab the no. of satellite used must be 3 or more to get your location, thise what I did, hope it is the correct way.
[Shift Development] saiweb:
I agree with you completely. I don't think they would have removed it. It may be some issues with the position or something related to GPSGate configuration. I also come into issues where it would take good 15 to 20 minuts to lock my Shift for the first time especially with overcast skies, evenings and inside the building. I may be wrong too, HTC might have removed the GPS altogether in the newer systems, but that would be a drastic step for HTC. If they do so, I would suggest buying RAON Everun and tether it with a Kaiser or Hermes would be cheaper. You would have a GPS receiver on your WinMo, and have bluetooth, SD, Wifi handy and you could connect your Everun to that and it fits in the pocket, eventhough the screen is nearly 5" as opposed to 7". But that is cheaper alternative and runs on more manageable XP. And installing GPSGate on WinMo and XP gives me to have the GPS on bigger screen.

Thanks
