Greetings!

It has been more than 7 years since I used Odin to re-install android 4.1.2 to my Samsung GT I8552 phone (I have ever since moved on to iPhone) By then android 4.1.2 was the latest. Now that time has changed and tech has grown, Can I do a clean installation of the LATEST android version (I checked and there is 6 and even 8++??) to this same old phone? Is Odin still the way to go? Please guide.

PS: I checked this link and it shows that the latest update was in 2015 and the latest version is still 4.1.2? I'm not clear what it means to this old model.

Thank you.

od day. There is a telephone H60-L03 assembly B318, spec. version CUSTC01D318, EMUI 3.0. Actually the question is: is it possible to change the localization on it to eu or NORMAL? Which would then be flashed with new or better firmware on L01 /L03/L04. The floor of the phone is crammed with all kinds of Chinese stuff, what else can you do with it?

WaveOS 4.5 - Rasmalai

🌊

WaveOS is an android custom ROM based on AOSP, focused on delivering a perfect blend of aesthetics, functionality and performance out of the box. This version (4.X) is based on Android 11. Various optimizations and enhancements have been merged from CAF and upstream AOSP to maximize performance and battery backup, and improve OS functionality. We provide a unique and beautiful user interface out-of-the-box that's inspired by OnePlus' OxygenOS and can be tweaked to your liking. We've also added handy features and customizations that improve user experience and prove to be useful at the end of the day, rather than bloating the ROM with unwanted features and customizations that could cause stability issues. We hope you like it! #NeverBetter

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] lakdfj:
I am trying to flash the LineageOS on my Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred). Initially, I used Windows 10 for the Xiaomi Unlock Tool. However, the Xiaomi Unlock Tool did not detect my device. So, I used this tool https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ to unlock my bootloader and it unlocked instantly. Now, I am using Ubuntu 21.04 (I am more comfortable using the command line here) (with android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot packages installed) to try to flash TWRP first.

When I connect my device, adb devices can recognise it. Then I use adb reboot bootloader to enter into fastboot. Now, fastboot devices can recognise it too. The screen of the phone shows the fastboot icon.

But, the problem comes here. I use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and I get this error

Now, when I use fastboot devices again. I don't see my device. Another change I see is press any key to shutdown written on the top left corner of the screen of my phone.

USB debugging, USB debugging security, OEM debugging are all enabled. Bootloader is unlocked (as I see in the settings). The phone is updated to latest MIUI version supported officially. And I used the same laptop and method to flash TWRP in a Redmi 3S (land) some time back.

Hi everyone, I own a Galaxy Tab s7 and it annoys me that some apps don't work with levels ... Do you have any ideas, solutions? The operation of the application on the tablet is a bit lame in Android ... The second thing is s pen. Using alphabetic typing, but sometimes that is applicable, how does it handle, how to write to enable keyboard support, creating only a small combination ... Can be used as a keyboard to enable keyboard o keyboard, keyboard keyboard contains ten keyboards? I will add that I am not a layman and I looked through the entire system in terms of settings and found nothing. The tablet has no root.

Druga sprawa to s pen. Korzystanie z pisania z alfabetu, ale czasem, który ma zastosowanie, jak radzi sobie, jak pisze, aby włączyć obsługę klawiatury, tworząc tylko niewielką kombinację... Można zastosować jako klawiaturę, aby włączyć klawiaturę o klawiaturze, klawiatura klawiatura zawiera dziesięć klawiatury?

Developers can change the way apps look based on the device category (phone, tablet), but it's up to the developer. You can contact them individually, and sometimes they might respond. Yeah, some apps look like big phone apps on the tablet. Almost silly.

Apple is far better in this area.

Regarding the keyboard and pen; you'll have to try that again. I could not understand the problem at all. I realize English is not your first language, but give it another shot.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rdwill999:
Hi all...

Not too sure how popular this would be, but today whilst browsing on my Diamond, I started thinking that it might be nice to be able to move the page around just by tilting or jerking the device in the desired direction.

Obviously, it would be inconvenient for this feature to be active all the time, so it would be nice to be able to activate it by maybe moving the device in a particular way, or pressing a hotkey.

Scrolling with your finger is fine and everything, but it's often an inexact science, whereas a careful tilt with a smooth scroll could move the page to exactly where you want it to be.

I started looking at the SDK, but I haven't had the time to really get into it thus far. If nobody thinks this is a good idea, I might just try it out myself if I have the time.

Comments/ideas/flames welcome :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] razrberry:
Hello, Im thinking of unlocking bootloader.

I'm just confused about doing it on Android 10 latest update installed.

The guide here is for Oreo and Pie only so I'm in doubt if Q requires something extra.

Also the different versions of S9+ have me in doubt. Like what is G965N, F, FD etc.

Although mine shows G965F, and its dual sim and has exynos, but still a little confused.

Also unlocking bootloader will affect what things?

My phones out of warranty so thats no worry.

And does just OEM unlocking and tripping knox have a difference?

It says Knox and Samsung pass will be gone, wanted to know what else will be gone?

Also what exactly does Samsung Pass has? Is it just saved passwords or I wont be able lock apps with phone lock (like pattern, fingerprint, iris) also. Like will I wont be able to lock whatsapp with fingerprint as well?

I had rooted my previous Redmi 3S, so I'm familiar with rooting, recoveries, recovering softbricks, etc.

Also can anybody link me to S9 + telegram groups and channels... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xfirefist:
OEM Unlocking and Knox warranty are two different things however they are closely related, OEM Unlocking allows you to flash/install unsigned binaries but when you do that Samsung Pay, Secure folder and other Knox exclusive features will no longer be available, also keep in mind that unlocking your bootloader will reset the device and erase all your data in the process.

Regarding the suffixes F stands for international release

FD = international release + dualsim

N = Korean release (same 9810 platform just like the international)

U = UnitedStates release (Snapdragon)

If you decide to unlock your bootloader the same applies to O/P/Q however if you wish to root on OneUI you will have to flash a modified stock rom such as xFireROM which i highly recommend because it's the only one that will pass Safety Net checks by default without any workarounds however ALEXIS Rom or ALXNDR's devbase will also work.

For any other questions feel free to message me!

[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] swaguduzo:
Hello. I've succesfully rooted my European Velvet LTE/4G variant.

Most of the kdz extractors are a total disaster and won't work with recent KDZs. You have to use this one:

A correct extractor for LG's KDZ Android image files

A correct extractor for LG's KDZ Android image files - kdz.py

gist.github.com

This is the correct, working KDZ extractor. Save this raw Python script for example as a kdz_extractor.py.

Now, assuming you already have performed the previous necessary steps like installing zstandard with pip, all you have to do is:

python3 kdz_extractor.py -e <where to extract> <kdz to extract>

You'll have a file called 4.boot_a.img, around 96 MBs. Now you can keep following the OP guide.

I can provide the patched boot_a.img for LMG910EMW Android 11 20a version if someone needs it.

[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] User5324:
Hi. Thank you very much for the detailed explanations.

Update. Rooting worked for me for LG Velvet LMG910EMW and Android 12 with a minor change:

The extract of boot.img did not work as described. Following tools failed for me

1 kdztools -> "Error: extraneous data found IN version" :-/

2 LG Extractor tool -> ZlibException: Bad state - zero bytes :-/ (also with kdz DZ file)

3 "hovatek" ectractor -> unsupported data file :-/ (tested with both DZ and KDZ files)

4 adb dd command to dump the my-name boot partition -> permission denied :-/

Finally it worked with kdz.py from https://gist.github.com/iscgar/e0da0868df7b2f179b000c61f12d1a8c

So i just put in the 5GB Android 12 KDZ from my previous flash and it extracted all partitions including the boot_a.img/boot_b.img files (each around 93 MB).

A quick test with fastboot boot boot_a.img showed that they are working.

Btw. I unlocked the bootloader already with Android 10 (see other post), before i updated to Android 12 with LGROMUP1.1.

The original LGUP did not work because the roms i found are in region "DEA" and my phone seems to be restricted for EU market.

In LGROMUP1.1, this seems to play no role. There was no partition selection, just "flash" button, but it preserved the unlocked bootloader to my surprise.

A lot of automatic restarts until it reached 100%, but everything went smooth.

Cheers.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] appro77:
I found that the stock rom was quite fast. That's why I can't understand why xiaomi.eu and miuimix lag so much. They are super slow at opening apps compared to stock.

I'm assuming that they are both deodexed and that will likely slow them down on a midrange SoC. That's the only reason I can think of. miuimix runs fine on my Mi 9T Pro that has a much better SoC.

I'm running Octavi OS now and it doesn't lag like xiaomi.eu and miuimix do.

Some time ago i installed xiaomi.eu. I can agree that is much slower in openning apps. Stock rom was much faster.

Now I'm on stock EAA rom rooted and it's perfect for me. Good battery life and speed. I haven't tested any non-miui rom

Using MI Globe rom which is same as xiaomi.eu, just with added options to exclude or include stuff before rom creation. Currently on 12.5.3 of this rom and no issues whatsoever. In fact I like it better than stock 12.5.1 rom because of these options.

Other non-MIUI roms do not have as good camera performance, which is main reason I dont use them.
