[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eganzon79:
Hello guys, I have a AT&T tilt (8925) frim U.S.A and I'm a cellphone technician and I just fixed one of this cellphone yesterday and found out that it has a connector for a front camera even a hole & place where to put it on. I want to modify it and see if it will work with a front camera ( if I put one on it) but don't know where to buy one, and one more problem is there anyway I can add this features on a flashing it from an original HTC TyTN II instead? because I know that the AT&T tilt(8925) doesn't have that on their software if I just put the camera(hardware) I know that it won't work at all because it doesn't have that features on the original SW of AT&T Tilt(8925)

1) I just want to know if someone can tell me where to buy the original front camera for HTC TyTN II(kaiser) for me to start

2) if it is possible to have this AT&T tilt(8925) flash to it's original HTC TyTN II(kaiser) version that has a features that you can choose if you want to use front camera or the back camera.

Please let me know and I will do this project and post my procedure and the outcome for all to see. If they want their AT&T Tilt(8925) to have a additional front camera. Thank you:)

if there is a place to buy the part it would be the cnn.cn site. Just search for replacement parts.

Yes there should be several roms that offer the video confrenceing. If you have spent any time researching this you would know this.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Harrson:
So, has anyone done this yet? I've got the front camera part in a bag in front of me, but haven't found a way to just remove the front housing. Every guide I've been able to find is for the full-on strip down, and I was hoping to avoid that.

Any info? If no one's done it yet, I'll try to get my act together enough to document the inevitable destruction of my phone, but forewarned is forearmed, as they say.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thanhlongdao:
remove the front cover

I would slide the phone out and flip it over. in the back of the screen part of the phone, remove four outer most screw( 2 toward the top and two toward the bottom of the phone) with the #5 torx driver. After that the shiny front should pop out easily with a little prying. that how i would do it.. good luck

Root or non-root?

Root: Debloater Magisk module, together with some apps to freeze/disable apps like SD maid.

Non-root: adb command or

XiaomiADBFastbootTools (Java)

https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools

The way to install that tool is written here until step 7.

Mark up the app you want to remove and press Uninstall.

You can re-install those removed apps if you need them back.

You cannot uninstall certain apps in non-root devices.

Listen to me carefully extract the .tgz file in a folder and download platform tools from the web and also extract platform tools files also in the same folder where you extracted the .tgz files after keeping both file extraction in a folder then turn your phone in. Fastboot mode and plug in and run the flash all .bat file it gonna take around 10-15 minutes and your device will recover

You are most likely in EDL mode. In order to get out of it, you need to snap off the battery and connect it back. Perhaps no flashing is needed

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] CrimsonSaber5G:
What's the best custom rom for the 7T in terms of stability. I figured I'd ask her instead of trying out 10 different ROMs, I'm really looking for a ROM that has the fingerprint and face unlock working fast and correctly.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Smok1nJones:
RR for A10. cRdroid for A11.

In my experience, fingerprint unlock was pretty hit-or-miss for every custom ROM I've used. Fingerprint will work great for the first few days after scanning a print, then it just falls off and stops unlocking.

I remember thinking my thumb was dirty or something, and it couldn't read the print.

Hi community,

I'd appreciated any feedback on the below.

I followed this https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-10-0-aosp-suzu-sonyxperiadev-q-builds.3969967/ thread about upgrading Xperia X F5121 from Android 8 to 10.

After going through the steps my phone is stuck on the splash screen with SONY logo. Won't boot further.

I used TWRP to wipe data, system, Darwik and cache, then flashed custom ROM, then I used fastboot to flash oem binaries, then flashed Gapps and rebooted.

Where did I probably go wrong ?

there is nothing to try.. I checked it, and it does not boot. I have to analyze if it's protected by itself (self check) or it's checked bu the previous loader for integrity... but if you change even a single byte it does not boot. Perhaps SBL checks ABL.

Afaik, PBL checks firehose. What do you mean by "boot"? Is flashing with your patched loader succeeds?

I did not find any auth code.. I just reverse engineered firehose and patched it to skip the check... but as I said.. after further analysis, I failed because any patch to firehose cause it not to run.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] qwerty12:
Follow anything in this guide at your own risk. I will not accept any responsibility if you are left with a bricked device, and/or a device that is damaged or impaired in some way. These steps are a reconstruction of what I was doing - I haven't actually tested the exact files attached, which should be more cleaner than the ones I was working with.

The inkPalm 5 is a 5.2" eReader with an Allwinner 32-bit ARM B300 CPU and 1GB RAM running Android 8.1 sold in China under Xiaomi's Moaan brand.

This involves writing a file to /system, which may prevent you from installing future OTAs. Be warned that the firmware for this device cannot be downloaded, so you could end up with an unrepairable brick!

Make sure ADB is setup first.

Download dump_kernel_to_system_signed.zip

Reboot the inkPalm into recovery mode :

reboot recovery

Use the touch screen and/or volume + power buttons to choose the "Apply update from ADB" option

On the computer, run

adb sideload path\to\dump_kernel_to_system_signed.zip

(making the obvious substitution)

When it's done, choose the first option in the recovery (reboot system now) to boot back into Android

Back in an adb shell, run

cp /system/bimg.img /sdcard/

Install the Magisk APK

Open Magisk, tap install

I don't think the AVB/dm-verity option needs to be checked, so I left it unchecked. YMMV. The inkPalm doesn't encrypt itself even if you enable a PIN.

Choose bimg.img from your storage and let Magisk do its thing

Transfer the magisk_patched*.img file in your Downloads folder onto the PC

Flashing the patched kernel image with recovery

Rename your magisk_patched.img file to boot.img

Using your favourite archive manager, add your boot.img to the root folder of kernel_flashing_template.zip

In a command prompt, run

java -jar signapk-1.0.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 kernel_flashing_template.zip kernel_flashing_template_signed.zip

(If you run into problems, make sure you have JRE 8 installed.)

Reboot back into recovery and

adb sideload

kernel_flashing_template_signed.zip

Reboot back into Android and hopefully you should have a rooted inkPalm with Magisk

(Flashing with fastboot should work, but I've not tested that.)

EDIT: You can find an extended guide at https://github.com/qwerty12/inkPalm-5-EPD105-root with steps for installing microG.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] squsqu6:
As far as I could gather, with both USB connection and developper mode on, ADB conncection is explicitely rejected. Besides, there is, on InkPalm, below the usuals USB checks, one that reads "...ADB/ADT..." which cannot be checked. The connetion request by wireless ADB, supplying the correct address, is also rejected.... As though the device needed be rooted first !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] qwerty12:
I haven't tested using ADB over Wi-Fi, but I can honestly say I have had no issues using ADB over USB on the inkPalm. ADB was enabled by default on mine, and not to mention the security of it has been weakened - you don't even need to approve ADB connections for the first time...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] squsqu6:
So, since mine seems to reject ADB on both USB and WI-FI, what would you suggest to try as next --and desperate ? I cannot find any reference to the manufacturer that would eventually grant me permissions-- step ?

So long,

You can follow these steps to show the Developer Settings, that's up to you: https://github.com/epodegrid/epd106-ADB#step-1-install-adb

If you really can't get ADB to work, then there might be another way. Install the APK of my launcher fork (how you do that is up to you - you can try using the built-in browser or transferring the APK over MTP and using the file manager [which I've never opened] to install it).

In the new launcher, tap-and-hold the Settings icon (the one with a dark background),

[Miscellaneous Android Development] reaverclan:
This worked great for me thanks a lot. I have a quick question if you know it. Is there anyway to get the old style android soft nav bar on the bottom (home, back, open apps)? The stuff you can do with the home button/logo button in settings is pretty limited.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] qwerty12:
Thanks.

I think it may have removed entirely to save space. That's just a guess though. I tried two Magisk modules to enable it - one sets that qemu property and the other uses an Android resource overlay - and both didn't work. The only workaround I can suggest, untested, would be this: https://github.com/epodegrid/epd106-ADB#step-4-naviation-button
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reaverclan:
Yeah I tried step 4 and adb said the file was to old so rejected it and I tired it in the file manager anyways to see what would happen and it says it's not a working package or not compatible. So I guess it's for another xiaomi device or base android version. I also noticed only the stock file manager can actually invoke the package installer, root explorer gets the prompt to install but never then sends it to the Manger to load it and give the option for an install.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] qwerty12:
It's actually because the modified launcher mentioned in this thread uses the package name com.moan.moanwm (credits to whoever found that out; doing that allows the original Settings to be launched), which actually belongs to those navball buttons... I was originally going to suggest to just get rid of the launcher, so you can install the navball buttons, but they're really crashy and useless anyway. Sorry, I don't know what else to suggest - given other "QOL" changes by Moann (see below), I strongly suspect the navigation button code was ripped out entirely to save RAM.

Give Total Commander a try.

Moann really did a number on this device's Android build and messed it up, presumably in the name of "security". Only certain programs can show the original Settings, which messes up other applications' ability to show the app info of programs; the only thing that can force stop programs is Settings (which messes up Titanium Backup) and Root Explorer probably tries to invoke the Android installer directly (if that's a thing).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reaverclan:
Ah I see that's clever. It's not the end of the world and yeah I think it's cause root explorer does what you said about invoking the thing directly. I just use the stock app to only install and that's it. My journey so far is shown here and regardless of the jank it has been a great device. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4140508&postcount=155

Thanks again for the time to make it even greater. Only thing that sucks is no stock img to un brick if something goes to far. Hopefully someone leaks that at some point. This device seems pretty new to the market still.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] squsqu6:
I now have a new, but old !, trouble : battery life. I have enforced all saving possibilities available --from standard menu, from E-Ink Launcher, and, from RomToolBox, processors speed slowing--, and, yet, after 8 hours of use, InkPalm battery is totally empty, even though being totally user-idle --not a single user application being active according to linux 'top' request. Conversely, Kobo reader battery lasts for days in reading mode.

My question : would it be thinkable any possible trick of triggering the sleeping function without pushing the red button, so as to keep the screen as it is --allowing the reading of actual page until next (not a book, a musical partion, which takes longer !)--. Bypassing by script the red button action, or other ? --Note : the screensaver option allows for user-image, like a screenshot, but it requires to move it to the proper place and to renew it at every page...

Sorry for being so long, I am far from being familiar wich Linux (Android).

Greetings,
