Thanks all. I flashed the Nexus 4 with the link Waldold provided above. Feels snappy and no showstoppers so far. Many thanks.

2021redmi2fans,

I am happier with older android releases, so I haven't been looking for private releases with more recent android versions. I just use f-droid.org for apps & no apps I've tried need anything so recent. I actually might even try an earlier release later on.

[MIUI Central] sieger007:
On my donut MIUI phone which I continued to use for quite sometime after AT&T phone was messed up and the latter's warrenty wasnt quite honored the way I wanted it , I noticed strange things happened when i started using MIUI ( that would be since 2 months , before that I was on a Custom ROM that supposedly had a VoLTE fix , which never worked and pushed me to stock ) . Here are some of the ' ghosts' responsible for haunting my phone which otherwise seemed to have a fair build and hardware

-- MIUI cleaner --> status disabled -->

🤔 Q ? can I throw it out completely without bootloop​

-- Booster - same as a

above

--com.miui.securitycenter

Here's another post I opened here on this. You cant throw it out .🤔 Q ? If you cant throw it out what can you do it make it in effective .

.🤔 Do we make changes in the boot image and how

All this is the remnant after I debloated MIUI safely much as I could

Am i just plain paranoid because this is a Chinese phone ? here's my A

👉 It deleted my entire WhatsApp data folder /data/data/com.whatsapp . ​

logcat gave me confirmation its some MIUI un-invited crap

👉 It did the same to my Youtube folder

👉 Later on it revoked all permissions i granted to a bunch of apps e.g. contacts and storage denied to Whatsapp and you could only see Phone #'s instead of names

Whats happening can someone explain ?🤔

👉 It erratically without any logic starts killing apps that are left to run in background. ( MIUI optimizations were turned off notwithstanding it all this happened )

👉 It appears to 'inject' any app you install with facebook ad services

and yes this is an original stock ROM I d/l from official MI site

my phone is redmi 8a and this is MIUI 11.03x w/ TWRP & magisk

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mmns:
hi guys ,

i want to buy mi 11 ultra , chinese version from chinese shop , that already have : XIAOMI.EU TWRP Firmware (unlocked) = Saftynet Passed + OTA Updates + Widevine Level 1 .

my questions are:

1. how do i find the CODENAME OF my DEVICE if i want to update my miui?

2. if i have ota updates , is it mean that the updates would be pushed inside the device automatically without doing all the process you talking about? even tough im not in china?

3. if ill buy the device with the global rom, will ill get the updates automatically? or both rom needs manually updates altough its written that he has ota?

4. whats the purposse of the "twrp"?

thnx
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chicko24:
You get the OTA´s load it onto your mobile phone and then install it via the TWRP at the end just select 'WIPE CAHCE' and then 'REBOOT' the update is done. All data, apps and settings are retained thats it.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mmns:
I DONT UNDERSTAND .

here is what they write in "trading shenzen" about buying the ULTRA OR pro11 -

Xiaomi.EU (Fastboot) = Forum Custom Firmware, no OTA Updates (manual), Saftynet Passed, Widevine Level 1 usually.

Xiaomi.EU (TWRP) = Forum Custom Firmware, OTA Updates, Saftynet Passed, Widevine LEvel 1 in general

SO, IN WHICH ROM YOU GET THE AUTOMATIC UPDATES WITHOUT DOING IT MANUALLY?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
The second option. The Weekly Xiaomi.EU ROM Uupdate can be downloaded and applied automatically all through the native Updater which is what you want.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
As far as I know all the updates need to be done manually, it is not difficult anyway
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mmns:
so maybe ill ask that - if i buy chinese phone with global rom , not global edition , will i get the updates automatically?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
You won't get global ROM but Xiaomi EU if you want global ROM you must flash it yourself

have a new n 10 5g. upgraded it to android 11. was that a mistake in order to root it? seems like all the available files for rooting are anroid 10.5. Can i still do it if my phone is v11?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SandFromUndertal:
The answer to your first question is no, it was not a mistake. The answer to your second question is yes, you are still able to root your device running android 11, you just need to

1. Install adb/fastboot onto your computer

2. Install the OnePlus drivers (only available for Windows)

3. On your N10 5G, download the magisk apk from github and replace the .apk with .zip

4. Download TWRP or Orange Fox recovery and copy to the same folder as fastboot

5. Flash the custom recovery with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of your recovery image)

6. Boot into recovery and flash the magisk zip file. In TWRP select install and browse for the file, with Orange Fox, just go to the location of the zip file, tap on it and select install or flash, I can't remember what it says.

7. Reboot your device.

8. Open up the magisk application, it will have you download and install the full application.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] PandaEirfan118:
Is there TWRP for EMUI 9.1? My device is BND-L21. I've recently unlocked my device with PotatoNV and now I'm stuck here trying to find a TWRP image compatible with my device so I can install Magisk. Thank you
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] jonnymcweed:
I've solved this issue by patching the twrp recovery image in the Magisk installer menu. Magisk will be enabled after this. The problem is, that you won't able to boot into the recovery after that. When you flash the unpatched recovery image again, magisk won't be activated anymore, but you'll be able to boot into twrp again.

First step:

Boot into fastboot mode

Second step:

You can use my attached patched image file and flash it in fastboot mode (Magisk v23.0):

Last step and important to activate magisk:

Boot into the recovery. You won't see the recovery, so don't worry about that.

After that, magisk should be active :)

Just for your information:

--------------------------------------------------

The unpatched twrp is booting, but doesn't decrypt the data partition and is not able to flash magisk.zip, even if it seems that everything works fine when installing the zip file:

I also attached the original emui 9 recovery,:

You can also patch the recovery_ramdisk.img in Magisk and use it to gain root access if you like.

But remember: you wont be able to boot into recovery if you do this, until you flash the unpatched file again.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] sulaiman saeed:
Can you upload boot.img file please.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kurangan:
Is this device specific ?!

My device is Honor 7x(BND-AL10); EMUI - 9.1.0; Android - 9
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] jonnymcweed:
I don't know to be honest.

My device is BND-L21.

You can try to patch my unpatched twrp or original ramdisk file and flash it via fastboot as I described it.

Maybe you can also extract the files from the specific rom image of your device, if you can find it.

[General Questions and Answers] J.Michael:
I am looking for advice on how to define a "sudo" command, given that I have a working "su" command.

I have been getting away with

alias sudo='su -c '

but recently got a silly error message that makes me think I need more than one backward-slash to escape the asterisk I am trying to pass to "find" in an "-iname" option. (And leaves me wondering what I've been doing this last year when I thought it was working as expected.)

@Cruzy12100 described using "sudo". I wanted (and still want) him to explain in detail how he comes to have an "sudo" command available.
[General Questions and Answers] :
To invoke SU command the synthax is

su -c '<YOUR-COMMAND-HERE>'

Note that the <YOUR-COMMAND-HERE> must be enclosed with single quotes.
[General Questions and Answers] J.Michael:
Currently, using the "su" provided by Magisk, I get away with the alias I described.

@jcmm11 advised me to use

alias sudo='su -c "$@"'

I remember on an earlier Android, with a different "su", I had to enclose the argument in quotes, which then led to the nightmare of trying to multiply backward slashes when trying to re-issue a command, this time as an argument to "su". On that tablet, I just gave up and switched to "root mode" when I needed to.

When I use "su" in Linux, I don't have to wrap the command in quotes -- it's easy to recall a command, put sudo in front of it, and execute it. (I'm mostly using "ls" and "find", so there's usually no risk of damaging anything.)

I just tried playing with the "$@" construct. In my tests, with

alias xxx='echo fore "$@" aft"'

The "$@" doesn't seem to do anything:

xxx asdf
produces
fore aft asdf

Maybe the suggestion was targeting a different shell.
[General Questions and Answers] jcmm11:
Couple of points, prefaced by the fact that I can't currently test or verify anything.

First of all, about $@. Specifically from the documentation for mksh (which is Android's default shell):

Same as $*, unless it is used inside double quotes, in whichcase a separate word is generated for each positional parameter.If there are no positional parameters, no word is generated. $@can be used to access arguments, verbatim, without losing NULLarguments or splitting arguments with spaces.

Magisk switched to ensuring that any startup scripts etc use Magisk's BusyBox commands on order to ensure consistency. I don't however think that su changed the shell to the BusyBox shell (which is ash, the Almquist shell), that would actually be bad for consistency.

For a test try something like:

alias sudo='su -c "$@"'

sudo echo test

and see what happens. It should just return "test".

Personally I've never cared for sudo. I've always just preferred to use su, both on Android and Linux. But that's another discussion entirely.
[General Questions and Answers] J.Michael:
It printed "test"

My problem is that I do not see any evidence that '"$@"' is expanding to anything: I get the same result with or without that construct.

alias xxx='echo a "$@" b'
alias yyy='echo a b '

I think I am using "sh" as a shell, both in my normal terminal, and when I use "su". (/bin/sh is not a link to toybox, it is a 400KB file)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Hi all,

Anyone able to upload the Apk of camera app of the latest CN version? Would it work on the global version? If anyone got it, please upload, I think it is worth a shot.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
You may find the APK will say that you can't update system apps, just to warn you. Some I've tried in the past have said this. I've not tried to sideload it via adb though, that may be possible, may be someone who has can confirm?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
Actually I guess you'd need more than the camera apk to get the latest camera improvements from Xiaomi.

That being said it's not a bad idea to try. Should be easy to extract from the latest ROMs. I'll give it a try when I have a bit of time (Otherwise if anybody can post it indeed, that will spare me a bit of work :p)

***Edit: I think that's the correct file. Extracted from the EU Rom v12.5.11 (I haven't tried it yet)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
Indeed I think you will have to use ADB to install it (It refused to install when I tried). Both camera apps being signed by Xiaomi and the new one having a higher version number, it may work as far as I could read online.

Why not install the latest Xiaomi.eu rom. It's based on the china rom, so it has the most current features, which are not in the global version, plus all the Chinese bloat and script has been removed and Google services added. Best of both worlds.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
on telegram channel they upload all types of chinese applications including launcher, and most of them would work on global, but they never uploaded camera. i believe it should not be an issue and will work since its just a version of the app.

***just a guess and i'd try it and test it my self.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
Unless

The way phones are partioned today, I believe you have to be rooted in order to modify anything in the system partition and I believe, that evin if you could successfully create an APK of the camera app, it wouldn't load successfully as it would need to modify the system partition. and you don't want to root or even flash a rom, so...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
I think what are you saying is logical. But maybe with adb we can get something that can update the camera app
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
And that would require root. Logic, it's a *****, but you go ahead and try or contact your buddies on telegram. Unless you are rooted, you can only modify the users data partition. Anything that the OEM installs, except

You go ahead and try. The only partition a user can modify (without root) is the users data partition. OEMs generally load things that they feel is pertinent to the operation of their device to the system partition, so that users can't accidentally delete required files. You would need to have write rights (permissions) to be able to delete or overwrite anything in the system partition and OEMs generally setup the system partition for users with rights to only be able to read and execute or see and run the app.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Arnab@:
So, I have found that OnePlus Nord 2 doesn't play nicely with Private DNS. If you set your own designated DNS like Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 or Google DNS or Adguard DNS you will get some pop-ups saying failed to connect to the Private DNS.

This happens when you turn on your mobile data or connect wifi after around 15/20 Mins of inactivity. The pop-up will come right way then sometimes it connects after the pop-up but some other times you have to set private Dns to auto then change it again, which is annoying.
