It is not easy to root phh AOSP (at least for me), but other gsi like dotOS, LIR, LeOS, ProtonAOSP can be rooted easily.

I am using dotOS for months on my Renoir. I have rooted it after executing Securize (in order to remove su) from Phh Treble Settings and booted to TWRP (only booted, not installed permanently) and from there flashed Magisk 23. That's it.

On other devices like Mi A2, Redmi Note 5 or Mi Pad 4 I am flashing gsi directly from TWRP.

[Lenovo P11] Penecho:
I was wondering if anyone knows if the above mentioned tablet does have GPS or not?

I found contradicting information about this. Some sites/shops list it with GPS and some Users say it does not have GPS... From what I could find, the Snapdragon 870 just exists as "870 5G" Soc and should have GPS?

Or maybe anyone also knows about the "older" version of the Tablet, the "Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro" without the "2021"? It has the 730G Chip, which also should have GPS...
[Lenovo P11] luizkun:
The answer is no gps View attachment 5450897
[Lenovo P11] Linuxkek:
12.6 Pro is the only one with GPS
[Lenovo P11] Penecho:
The older Version of the Tablet from 2020 with the Snapdragon 730G has GPS according to GSM Arena:

Lenovo Tab P11 Pro - Full tablet specifications

www.gsmarena.com

Can that be trusted? The Tab P11 Pro should be the Lenovo XiaoXin Pad Pro (without the 2021 in the Name)

"Lenovo XiaoXin Pad Pro is a great elegant tablet that is worth your attention. This is the same model Lenovo Tab P11 Pro"

Note that if you disable "SecurityHub" you still get a fully functioning security section in Settings, but the screen looks like Android 11. See attached screenshot. Disabling "Pixel Tips" and "Wellbeing" just removes them completely from settings.

You can always use the following to disable/remove add for non-root via this method

With App Freezer if your Pixel will not connect to transfer files just unfreeze the frozen MTP option in System.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
So I was interested in removing the google search box but I think the last time I tried this along with some other things, it got stuck in a boot loop. Has anyone been able to remove this, esp with a rooted phone?

I notice this post a while back about a similar situation with Nexus 5:

Previous Issue
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
The PIxel series are practically devoid of bloatware - and the few unnecessary apps don't take up much space.

That being said, these can probably be removed without much issue:

Android Auto

Chrome

Drive

Files by Google

Gmail

Google Play Protect Service

Google Play Store

Google Play Music

Google Play Movies

Google Play Games

Google TV

Maps

Personal Safety

Photos

Pixel Buds

Pixel Live Wallpaper

Pixel Stand

Pixel Tips

Recorder

YouTube

Remember that the Pixel is "Powered by Google" and needs some of these apps for full feature capability, even if the apps themselves aren't used for their intended purpose, as they help tie the phone into the Google platform.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
I started to remove a few of those already. Yea not much but for some of these I would never use, I think its cleaner to remove. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gcharma:
Is the App Freezer method any different than just Disabling the app under the Apps menu in Settings?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It shouldn't be any different.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gcharma:
Great stuff - thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
I've been removing apps (using adb) for many years, on many different phones and Android Forks, including Stock. I can say in the past few years, removing 25 apps from a Pixel (like Google Home, Youtube etc) - has no affect on battery life or performance. It does increase the amount of RAM or Cache that is available - maybe by 200-600mb, sometimes more or less. But I have seen no difference in battery life or performance. But most of these apps are easy to disable right in the Apps menu.

What does make a difference on battery is brightness, AOD and the type of apps you have installed. Having 15 apps that might be checking for notifications, email, syncing etc; do make an impact on battery life. And restricting battery usage on these apps unfortunately does not help much (again this depends on the types of apps you have installed). If you are looking for more Performance, install something like ProtonAOSP. but again, even when using this on a Pixel 6 Pro with 12GB of RAM and the high-end specs it contains, you aren't going to notice a drastic change because the Pixel Experience is very smooth and responsive.

None of my findings are scientific - I have a Pixel 3XL/4 and a 6 Pro and use Stock Android, GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP.

I discovered removing or disabling com.google.android.apps.wallpaper disables your ability to open the wallpaper picker.

I was wondering if there is a way to increase the number of drop down start menu icons. I've had the soft keys gone for a while, and it'd be more convenient to fill that gap, especially when I'm running wisbar advance. i attached pictures to show what I'm talking about.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xjetblackxheartx:
You can Copy the programs and move them to the Start Menu.

Open File Explorer.

Then go to My Device > Program Files. Go to the program you want. Bring up the menu by pressing and holding. Select Copy.

Then navigate to My Device >Windows > Start Menu.

Paste the program or press the right softkey and select Edit > Paste Shortcut.

The pasted programs/shortcuts will now appear in your start menu.

I'm not sure how many the max amount is but I've currently got about 8 programs in the menu.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
This is a last ditch effort to restore your phone to working order. This should only be used if your phone DOES NOT BOOT AT ALL or if you are unable to boot into FASTBOOT.

If you can boot into Fastboot mode then I would encourage you to flash using Mi Flash tool.

Original video credits: Om Bob Ombreker

Tools Needed:

MTK Bypass Tool

SP Flash Tools

Fastboot ROM ( Around 3GB Download)

PC and USB cable

Tested! Howto Unbrick Redmi 9C (angelica) without using auth account

This blog has move and will not be update again.For new update please open ▶▶

langithitam.wordpress.com

First you need to extract the MTK bypass tool which is crucial as it will allow us to flash without requiring Auth file. NOTE: you need to disable antivirus or it will delete file.

Your PHONE NEEDS TO BE OFF! There is no need to unplug battery from the phone, I tested it myself and as long as the phone is OFF it'll still work. If your phone cannot power down due to bootloop, then you must remove backcover and unplug battery or just wait till battery runs out.

Once you have started the MTK bypass tool, choose MTK6765 from option that says auto and this is only for Redmi 9C. Now press on the bypass button a ad it will wait for you to connect your phone via USB. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE PRIOR TO THIS. Hold only the VOLUME UP button when connecting the USB cable to your phone and ensure the phone is OFF. ONCE you connect the phone, it will immediately respond and show a log saying its completed (SEE SCREENSHOT BELOW).

Once this step is completed leave your phone connected as you will soon start the flashing process. Open up SP FLASH TOOLS and run as admin. You will need to load the scatter file which is included in the Fastboot ROM under images folder. Once you have the scatter file loaded, SP tools will proceed to load all image files which will be used to flash phone so be patient.

Ensure that DOWNLOAD ONLY option is chosen as format and download option will format your IMEI also. Once all files have been loaded then just press the DOOWNLOAD button and wait to complete. Once done you can power ON the phone and it should boot.

[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Cat8191:
I'm using a Redmi 9c I tried to unlock it but failed in the process. Later I get absolutely no response from the phone, I cant open fast boot or recovery. I tried connecting it to the pc but it shows the same exact problem you are facing. I tried all USB ports and switched cables back and forth but no success. I tried pressing volume up, down and all sorts of combinations, still no success. Any fix for this?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Follow the guide step by step, it should work and if doesn't then you should try disconnecting the battery
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Gabiblocks:
great guide on fixing a hard brick.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] JoostA:
My compliments and thank you very much indeed to you for writing this very good and detailed guide. My Redmi 9c bootlooped after trying to install Lineage OS, of course no way to go to fastboot mode anymore (I'm a rather experienced custom ROM installer though). Although I asked for help in a separate thread, I got no answer for a couple of months now until I found this thread. I never gave up my Redmi 9C so I now followed you instructions and with success!! I will refer people to your thread of course. There is no doubt many can save their phone by reading you instructions.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:

[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Gabiblocks:
hello sir so i recently hard bricked my redmi 9c nfc by installing older MIUI version that it came with. It was just black screen all the time and nothing. Tried this guide, mtk bypass tool worked but on sp flash tools i am greeted with this message.View attachment 5638127
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] erikmanner:
Everything is acting like expected according to the video, but wheb I have used the mediatek bypass tool with green OK and stuff and when i start to press download on the smart phone flash tool, it just stucks at 0. Nothing happens, except that everything is greyed out and is trying to load it. If i boot my phone myself with the brom it says hint:add a authentication file or ask for help. I cant manage to finish it.

The error in Mediatek bypass tool about handshaking error is probably because i did it several times, because i didnt manage to load smartphone flash tool as attached below

This is my last hope to recover my brandew phone. Thanks for the good tutorial, but it didt work out. If someone could save me then I would be grateful
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Rutell:

[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Did you solve it?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sagarathee:
Anyone facing usb not responding/ recognised wait for battery to drain or just unplug battery by opening the phone from behind ( watch some YouTube videos ) and start again.

Next Time don't unplug during flashing
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Thanks for replying, I did it before with other MTK devices, but this time, I can´t bypass this, I also had other message from SPFT, somthing like EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION, even I opened the back cover, so affordably can connect and disconnect the battery. Strange, but when it was detected like, MediaTek USB port, not like Preloader, it did start to flash.

Update: I got to flash it, I excluded cust, but still no screen is showing, device not turning on.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Osteensouthpaw:
It successfully flashes but when i reconnect the battery it does not boot.

And after the process when i connect it the computer it is recognised as a

"unknown USB device(Device descriptor request failed)
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
What special did you do to get device detected by TFT, I tried with or without battery, doing o nor the bypass, and I couldn´t
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Osteensouthpaw:
hold the vol up and down buttons
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Osteensouthpaw:
by the way... i used the mtk bypass rev 4. and i noticed it is not recognised until mtk bypass says protection disabled
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Now, more confused, then it didn´t work, but how did you flash through it?

The thing is that SPFT can´t get all the partitions flashed, for example, cust, and probably is needed more reserved partitions, and my device doesn´t boot, because of that, I guess the same for you.

TFT can flash all the partitions, even in this demo version, it could, but simply, is not working, and I doubt, it worked for someone.

My doogee n20 goes into a bootloop after any android custom rom, like i tried phh treble, pixel experience and my device softbricked every time, Android 10,11 doesnt matter still bootloops, i am trying to update my android version but the phone has a-only partitions which restricts me from android 12 right now, i can root and/or twrp but custom treble roms are a no-no. Any help please? NOTE: no i dont want to get softbrick fixed, i have a sp flash tool backup and it works, i need a way how to install hopefully android 11 or 12, android 10 is ok too.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Project Treble has nothing to do with Android's partion-layout, what may be a A-only one or A/B one - with the latter there are two virtual hard drives that each contain a copy of Android.

Project Treble means Android is parted: part #1 what contains the lower-level code created by silicon vendors, and part #2 what contains main Android operating system framework. So device manufacturers can update the OS code without having to rely on silicon vendors to refresh the lower-level code for every release.
[General Questions and Answers] AtS17:
Phh treble work perfectly on my Doogee N20 and by the way it is A/B not A only. And, but one thing I needed to install vendor.img the first time I installed a Gsi.
[General Questions and Answers] AtS17:
Try this

1. Download GSI for Arm64 A / B and extract then.

2. Download firmware stock here

Firmware doogee n20 by 4pda

3. After downloading the Stock firmware extract the vendor.img

4. restarted in TWRP, go to clear,select Dalvik / ART cache, system, data and cache, drag flash bar

5. Go back, go to install, find the folder where the GSI is, select install with system image, go back and find the folder where vendor.img is and select install with vendor image

6. Reboot system

Sorry for bad English.

[Introductions] 1minutetomidnight:
I am 17 and I've been following the custom ROM community for a while. My first android phone was a huawei p6 ascend and as you know huawei devices are heavily locked down so in the process of rooting my phone with kingoroot I sent it into a bootloop. This was the first time I had done real modding to any phone. I was into hacking and things during that time (still am.....haven't really gotten anywhere but I understand everything but I am basically just a script kiddie....couldn't dive extensively into it because of studies).....and I became more customization oriented. I saw all the possibilities of linux on my PC and how I could change every aspect of it and I loved that freedom. But my new phone (another huawei....don't ask me why i bought it, it's not really new.....it was actually my mom's and I got it) sucked for customization....sure it had a bunch of themes but none them were any good. Also I was getting into a lot more privacy oriented so I setup pcap monitor on my phone to capture the network traffic on my phone.....and the amount of unnecessary traffic going from my phone when idle spooked me. So a week ago or so, I bought a phone repair toolkit pulled apart my phone's backplate, shorted a test point on the motherboard to finally unlock the damn bootloader. I had finally got the bootloader unlock which had been eluding me for years. And then I flashed lineage os 16 from openkirin on it. I just need to flash kali nethunter on it for EVEN MORE POWER (currently stuck at this step because I couldn't find a suitable TWRP recovery for my mate 10 lite)

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xToMMeRx:
Hi

I just downloaded the official ROM-upgrade for the Touch Dual to WM6.1

It seems that HTC have removed WM6.1's original Home Screen and replaced it with their standard HTC Home Screen.

Is it possible somehow to download the original WM6.1 home screen and load into the Touch Dual? I would like the WM6.1 home screen with the new functions instead of the old HTC Home screen.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] delakoz:
Did u download it from the official site??

Do u have the 16-key version? or the 20-key version?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vcdwelt:
which home screen do you mean?

The WM6.1 Homescreen is simply nothing, only enable some points on Settings-Today.

The HTC Home Screen is called HTC Home, with big clock an shortcuts (Wetaher, Programs, Sound)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Tim4:
I don't see any differenses :confused:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xToMMeRx:
I have the 16-key version.

And the WM 6.1 home screen is something special.

You are thinking about the old WM 6.0 home screen.

If you watch the video on Microsoft official site for WM 6.1 you'll see that they got a new home screen where you can easily see emails, contacts, voicemail and so on. Not anything like the old one on WM6.0

But it seems that on the official upgrade from HTC they removed this home screen in favor of their old HTC Home screen which they also had in WM6.0.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Parg:
???

can someone please post screenshots?

As my XDA star had it's original ROM, it looked like that:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xToMMeRx:
I was hoping it would be possible to enable the WM6.1 home screen as Microsoft shows in this video: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx

Mine just got the standard HTC Home that you just showed in a screenshot
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rbiez:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/version-compare.mspx

as you can see here, the touch screen version (or professional) of WM6.1 does not include the new home screen "Sliding Panel Home Screen"
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xToMMeRx:
Oh ic, that sux, looked promissing for a touch screen tho..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vcdwelt:
Oh, didn't know this Version of home Screen. Looks realy cool.

Hope someone could port it to Touch Phones :D
