[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] dwensch:
Damnit, I bought this Xiaomi phone in the hope there will be a custom rom. My Redmi 5 got excellent rom support. But reading that sales are low and to make room for other Snapdragon soc's makes me not optimistic.

My Galaxy A50 that I used for 2 years also got no rom support, but that was mainly because the security in Knoxx. I got used to that.

The Lite 11 4G version of this phone have a few custom roms! Why the 5G not?!!

:(

That's for the 4g version of the phone. It's totally incompatible with the 5g version.

Over a month before you asked this many news sites had posted about the chip shortage, why 780G phones are so rare and why manufacturers like Xiaomi are going to circumvent the problem by switching to 778G.

Xiaomi will release the new Mi 11 Lite NE 5G tomorrow, using the 778G produced by TSMC using N6 unlike the 780G which is produced by Samsung using 5LPE.

Check Your PC For Viruses Now.

Threats to your computer come in different guises with various funky names. Collectively they're considered malicious software, abbreviated to 'malware' in security parlance. The main types are as follows:

Viruses. Hidden programmes which wreak havoc.

These are transmitted via websites, e-mail attachments, directly over the internet, or via any other removable media. They hide in applications or files and spread from computer to computer, generally wreaking havoc wherever they get the chance to.

Trojans. Bugs within harmless looking files.

Trojan (horses) are hidden within a file that looks harmless, like a picture of a celebrity, aiming to trick the user into installing the malicious software like spyware or adware on the computer.

Worms. Can drill in via open web connections

Worms take advantage of any open Internet connection, to try and sneak in and replicate on the computer. Once loaded, they often start to send spam email from your computer without your knowledge.

Hey, here are the specs of my current desktop. I bought it back in June 2018, and since only added more ram and an HDD, also most of my peripherals.

Specs :

CPU : Intel i5 8400

CPU cooler : Be quiet, I don't know what exactly

RAM : 16 GB Dual-Channel "DDR4 Ballistix" @ 1366MHz --> 2 at 2400MHz and 2 at 2666MHz each 4096 MB

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING

GPU : 3071 MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB (EVGA)

Storage : - 232 GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250 GB (SATA (SSD))

- 931 GB Seagate ST1000DM010-2EP102 (SATA)

- 931 GB Seagate ST1000DM010-2EP102 (SATA)

Power supply : I don't know, but I remember it being good 500-650W, 80+Gold, I think.

I want it to be better, any ideas on what should I update first ?
[Battlestations] strongst:
That's not a bad system in any way! The question is, in which application should your PC be better? A game? Video rendering?

And What is your resulution of your monitor(s) where your GTX1060 has to deal with?
[Battlestations] Noe367:
I mostly play game, but also use a lot of cpu in others programs, so the CPU is often at 100% because of the types of games and multitasking, the GPU is also often overused, but it can be changed by reducing in game graphics but a bit annoying. Also, I have two monitors, one 2560*1440 @ 144Hz and the other is 1920*1080 @ 75Hz. I know right now GPU are a bit expensive, but if I want to change CPU I will most probably have to change the motherboard too.
[Battlestations] strongst:
Yeah, the 1060 can't handle >1080p gaming at 144hz good, that's the main part you should update. You can check my Ryzen build here where I'm using similar resolutions for the monitors.

The 3060ti might be a good choice. I don't talk about the current prices at all, you know...

You can update to an i9-9900k which is ~30% faster than yours. But your processor isn't that bad, it might be more the lot of multiple tasks where you should think about more cores (10/16) in general
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
If you have more available bandwidth and ports consider adding more drives for the OS.

Depending on the Intel firmware there may be some interesting Raid options.

Explore your page file/drive options as well.

Just make sure to clone the OS drive for easy restore, clone before installing antivirus apps.

Keep the data off the OS drive, just apps.

Never clone data drives; copy only! Cloning media files can cause you to lose needed null marks.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Thanks a lot ! Very useful
[Battlestations] Noe367:
I might buy a .m2 drive
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
I not up to date at all on the new mobos and drives... I run dinosaurs🤣

ID your bottlenecks.

Research it thoroughly, even then it will be by trial and error.

Playing with the page file (maybe adding another fast dedicated drive) may yield good results with minimal expense/effort.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Yeah, thanks !!
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
Go for a mobo with all solid state caps and preferably no electrolytics which invariably fail with age.

Gigabyte has been making all solid state mobos for over a dozen years.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Again, thank you, very helpful
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Don't skip on the power supply*. Get the best you can find. A failed supply can be a real pain to troubleshoot.

Make sure it's minimum rated output supports your devices on that rail. Probably not an issue but be aware of it.

Most importantly make sure you have lots of head room on all the supply rails especially the lower voltage ones. Leave room for expansion.

Overrate by at least 20% of expected maximum surge demand for all rails.

Look closely at build quality. Does it look well built using epoxy PCBs and heavy wires?

A clean, neat layout?

Quality fans and excellent ventilation that conform to your case layout/venting needs?

Enough direct outputs to minimize preferably eliminate daisy chaining?

Long enough for the mobo and graphics card?

Note the exit point for cables, do they integrate well with your case design/layout?

Fun times👍

*a good case is a joy to work with and helps to protect your investment.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Awesome !

[Battlestations] littlegamer757:
First of all, I don't want to offend anybody that has commented their suggestions already, but in my opinion most of the replies are pretty lackluster to say the least.

Now, I saw you mentioned that you mostly play games on your PC. I'd say your CPU is still perfectly fine for most modem games, the GPU is another story though. While the standard 1060 is still a decent card, your version only has 3 GB of VRAM. This is becoming more and more of a problem in modern titles and you should consider upgrading, I'd say at least to a 6 GB 1060. Of course, the current market is awful and you shouldn't spend too much money on that old of a GPU, but if you can find one at a decent price, it might be worth a buy.

Other than that, your system is pretty well specced out in my opinion, you might want to sort out that RAM situation and get a matching kit of DDR4 at a decent clock speed, your description seems a bit all over the place in that regard. 16 GB of RAM is still perfectly fine, I wouldn't recommend a capacity upgrade, but matching sticks with matching speeds can do wonders.

Furthermore, I'd consider a bigger SSD, but your current storage configuration should provide enough space and as long as the OS is located on the SSD performance shouldn't be too bad either.

Finally, whatever you do, getting a 9900k, like somebody suggested, is a bad idea in my opinion. If you don't want to do any serious overclocking or have to do **very** CPU-intensive tasks, your 8400 should still hold up well. If you go for a 9900k you might as well build a new system because you're probably gonna need a new motherboard, CPU Cooler and definitely a GPU upgrade so the 9900k doesn't have to live in bottleneck hell. Incase you absolutely want to upgrade the CPU, I'd say go for an i7 of the 8th generation, as you'll be able to expect better performance than from your i5 thanks to multithreading while not having to upgrade any others parts mentioned above.

So, to conclude: You should upgrade your GPU. Go for something like the 6 GB 1060 or better. Search around on the internet for GPUs that work well with your processor. Maybe get some matching RAM. If you still have money to spend, a bigger SSD might make everything a bit snappier. I wouldn't consider upgrading the CPU.

And, a last final note: Make sure you don't exceed your PSU's wattage, definitely check before buying any upgrades.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Thanks, now I have the choice and many opinions to make my own choice ;)
[Battlestations] Noe367:
I have an In Win, this is fine for me, for the moment. Will also see that !
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
It's a real clean layout. Power harnesses run behind a steel inner panel for better shielding, out of sight and out of the way.

Plenty of cooling with the ability to expand cooling if needed. It's solid and heavy.

Antec cases come with a parts manifest as well.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Oh cool, will look into that when needed !
[Battlestations] zoel.fahmi:
gaming wise, GPU should be a priority

multi-tasking wise, buy the newest intel gen 10 or 11 also you can opt for AMD

Core i5 11th gen is a wise option

ryzen 5 3600 still good too

you'll need cpu and motherboard too
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Still thinking about it, waiting for price changes for GPUs I think. Or something else, will see with the different prices.

Thanks anyway !
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
Yeah it's not the best time to buy with the chip shortages.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Yeah, I think I will wait for sales or simply price drops. A bit annoying as I would want to upgrade now... But I will deal with it

Only Sweden didn't lose their heads. This isn't even close to a real killer pandemic like the Spanish flu over a century ago*. This is about the same somewhat bad flu strain.

It was politically weaponized and is still being. Because of this it's impossible to predict what the markets will do. Worse the fate of Taiwan hangs in the balance now because of US incompetence.

Bottom line if you find what you want at a reasonable price, snatch it up. Recovery could years off if they keep jerking us around or if major players disappear. Expect prices to increase as well and green laws to screw up high wattage electronics. California is already doing that.

Meh, get your kicks in...

*It killed mostly people in their prime, parents but mostly spared children and the old (they had immunity from exposure when younger). Some victim were dead within 12 hours of first showing symptoms. They were healthy and died violently.
[Battlestations] Noe367:
Yeah, I'm ready, searching when I'll find the things I want at a price that is not too bad, I will pay for it, I guess. Hope it doesn't continue that way...

How much do you think I should pay for a RTX 3060 ti ? Or a CPU / anything else ?
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
No clue. If it's within your means, grab it and be happy. Bare in mind it's not just one component you probably need so think of the price of the whole group as well as availability. A higher price on one or two components won't necessarily blow out the total price.

Having a fast machine is just plain fun... and costs a lot less than a wife.
[Battlestations] Noe367:

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
you can't use stock recovery you will need twrp

If you want to install magisk without twrp use the patch method
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] light767:
I have tried kingroot with no success it get stuck at 1%.

If I use magisk by patching the stock rom, then when an official samsung update comes out I can do it automatically as always?

By the way how can I check if the bootloader of my phone is unlocked ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
In develop section check to see if unlock option is there.

Download mode will tell you OEM state as well as KG/RMM state

If you modify your phone you won't get updates. Have to do manually.

Be aware rooting you phone will trip your knox. Won't be able to use knox related functions like secure folder,samsung pass, shealth etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] light767:
ACtually I need root to try to recover some files on the internal memory with some data recovery programs...after that I don't need root anymore so maybe I could go back to full stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Once your modified phone knox will be tripped even when flash firmware again. There is no fix for a tripped knox.

If trying to recover lost files then using the patched method with magisk is a better option then using twrp.

I don't have much experience with recovering lost files as i have not had the need for it but i would try some non root methods first before rooting.

If you decide to root your phone you can unroot by magisk or flashing stock firmware.

Always backup your phone before doing anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] light767:
Sadly all these program (one of the most famous is Dr. Fone) that go scanning the memory for deleted files need the privileges of root so I think that without rooting the phone it's not possible to do it anyway if I would lost the knox securty by rooting I'm not that happy too
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xcutnr1:
"You may try looking into Extreme Syndicate root. It's used on the Snapdragon variants to root with a locked bootloader, so it doesn't trip Knox. I don't know if it will work on Exynos, but worth a look."

[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] mx82:
My XA2 H3113 is extremely slow since Saturday, each animation takes 3-4sec instead of 0.5sec.

Typing is almost not possible and videos are displayed with ~ 1/5 speed.

Also booting takes at least 5x as long as usual.

I had not changed anything before. My device was not rooted, just Lineage & MIndTheGapps. I used it since April with this configuration.

So far I have tried the following:

From Lineage 18.1 last July build:

0)reboot

1)Updated to the current build.

2)Reset everything with TWRP & directly into Android

3)Tested other custom roms

4)2xSony OEM Rom flashed with https://github.com/munjeni/newflasher (UK Edition)

5) Lineage 18.1 last build installed and CPU Speed ->max (Settings->Battery)

6) Animations removed

Nothing helped. Anyone else have suggestions?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
What occurred before it slowed down?

Check download folder for files you didn't download.

If you didn't change anything it may be a virus or rootkit. I don't know that system's vulnerabilities.

Look for excessive CPU cycle and memory usage by apks and services.

Sounds like it's fixing to crash and burn on you😕
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] mx82:
@blackhawk

I flashed 5x a new ROM -> All partitions were formatted several times.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's either the firmware, software or it's hardware then.

If it was a rootkit the reflash would have erraticated it... as long as the rom is clean.

Try it in safe mode.

Check for memory leaks and apks/services using excessive memory, CPU cycles or battery.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] mx82:
I tried the save mode -> nothing changed, the phone was still extremly slow.

In the last two days the phone was fast again 2x for ~ 3-5minutes.

Is there a possibility to force the phone to set the cpu permanently to maximum frequency?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Go back to the rom that worked before you damage hardware.

There's no good reason it should be running hot with a lite load.

Androids should not need high CPU usage at idle/lite loads and it's counterproductive to do so.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] mx82:
I am using the rom which worked month before the XA2 became slow: Lineage OS 18.1

Last night I charged the phone (nothing else).

Today, the XA2 worked just as fast as before last Saturday. Even reboots did not change that.

I had the same thing for 5 minutes 2x before.

Let's see if it stays like this.

I found this on :

How to Unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G? OEM Unlock!

Hey, there in this guide, I will show you the easiest method to Unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G. This smartphone was recently launched,

www.rootingsteps.com
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ffuser1:
Verizon devices do not and likely will never have an unlockable bootloader. Can probably be said about any Samsung phone bought through Verizon but 100% will not work on Verizon s21 ultra. If you purchase the phone through Samsung, carrier unlocked, the bootloader can most likely be unlocked (assuming it hasn't had firmware updates past v1 I think)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BDog21:
I just got an unlocked s21 ultra from Samsung I was under the impression I still couldn't unlock? Which digit in the software name Is bootloader version? 5th from the right? If so that means I have bootloader v4 😔
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Skeeter300blackout:
Seems like bootloader v4 is not unlockable or ever will be. Might sell might phone and buy an unlocked version.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iBowToAndroid:
U and U1 models *can* be bootloader unlocked, but only if they're on bootloader v1
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Yep. You'll have to wait until your next phone before you can unlock the bootloader since you're not on the first bootloader version with your S21U =/.

Due to an unfortunate event, I'm in the same boat. Luckily enough for the both of us, we can hang onto this phone for now, pay it off, and then do an exchange with Google in order to get the Pixel 6/6 Pro for $500-$600 less than it's rumored retail price of $1100-$1200 (that's for the 6 Pro; the 6 regular will probably be like $200-$300 less).

Hopefully that works out as my S21U is the least reliable phone that I've ever used (so many features don't work and I have to restart it multiple times per day to keep it working, otherwise certain apps stop functioning even when force closed and I lose cell service until I reboot). I've even done a full device wipe and reinstalled Android and I still have the same problems. I thought that my LG V20 from 6 years ago was bad, but my S21U takes the cake there with how instable it is... But hey, there have been tons of posts here with others facing similar problems. It has taught me that Samsung tends to always make manufacturing mistakes... I mean, remember the good ol' Note 7? That phone was super nice until it started a bonfire LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Skeeter300blackout:
I am not having that many issues with it. I am curious how it would run rooted with a different ROM on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BDog21:
I haven't had any problems with mine either. I've only had it about a week but I would consider myself a power user when it comes to my phone's and have run it through just about everything

Introduction

I've recently bought Pixel 5 as a replacement for my Nexus 5, that I broke few week ago. And I found out that Call recording feature is not enabled for my country. I figured out, how to enable it, and here I will write how you can do it by yourself.

Spoiler content hidden.

Prerequisites:

Rooted Pixel 5

Termux

Steps:

1. Open Termux and install sqlite​

apt update; apt install sqlite

2. Update com.google.android.dialer to the latest version through Google Play Store​

3. Clear app's storage​

4. Under su, open database phenotype.db​

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sqlite3 /data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/databases/phenotype.db

5. Execute SQL commands​

INSERT INTO FlagOverrides(packageName, user, name, flagType, boolVal, committed) VALUES("com.google.android.dialer", "", "G__enable_call_recording", 0, 1, 0);
INSERT INTO FlagOverrides(packageName, user, name, flagType, boolVal, committed) VALUES("com.google.android.dialer", "", "G__force_within_call_recording_geofence_value", 0, 1, 0);
INSERT INTO FlagOverrides(packageName, user, name, flagType, boolVal, committed) VALUES("com.google.android.dialer", "", "G__use_call_recording_geofence_overrides", 0, 1, 0);
INSERT INTO FlagOverrides(packageName, user, name, flagType, boolVal, committed) VALUES("com.google.android.dialer", "", "G__force_within_crosby_geofence_value", 0, 1, 0);

6. Open the app and check that Call recording appeared​

View attachment 5389399​

View attachment 5390611​

7. Optionally you can replace starting_voice-**_**.wav and ending_voice-**_**.wav in /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/files/callrecordingprompt/ folder to get rid of theese voice messages.​

8. Enjoy!​

​

Explanation:

Google uses a lot of flags to control which features are enabled in their apps and which are not. I reversed the app and figure out, that those ones a responsible for enabling of call recording feature. But there are plenty of others:​
