nah, this is hardware-level stuff, you can't zoom in with 48MP.

Apparently, they kept the 48MP sensor separate from the 12/16MP one. The whole pattern can also be seen in other Nokia phones, such as the X10/20.

I've added the tweak to Opera that makes the cache go to internal memory instead of the local storage which works great :)

Now I wonder if there's a way to save pages to the Internal 4GB Memory aswell... All pages I save with Opera automatically goes to local storage which sucks since I don't have much storage left.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Boulotaur2024:
Excellent ROM.

Got everything working from the get-go.

And a nice Android 12 look and feel.

Good job !

The only thing not working is the "Night mode" which doesn't seem to activate no matter what I do. (I'm expecting orange-ish colors you know, to reduce eye strain). But no...

Also, one thing I like on Android 11 was the ability to customize icon shape (rectange, triangle, etc...). I don't seem to be able to find that again.. Then again that might be part of Android 12..

But all in all, this is pretty great

EDIT : almost forgot, I flashed the latest stable Firmware here before I installed Project Elixir :

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Boulotaur2024:
Came to talk about that.

I think I have gained like 25-30% of battery life using this, it's really amazing on a 2.5 years old phone.

I read that there has been work on improving battery life on Android 12. So this just being a12 could be the reason alone for that.

But anyway, nice work and nice ROM, again !

Missing N/W indicator :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] NickDFR:
I really like this ROM. It's nice and smooth, looks great, pretty responsive.

However, out of the blue, the system UI started dying whenever wired headphones are connected, and will not come back while they are plugged in. Once I unplug them, the UI starts back up on its own and the lockscreen appears again.

Looking around, somebody said that this was caused on a different device by an overlay not supported by SystemUI. I remember disabling (or trying to) the option for speaking to Google Assistant (even though it's not supposed to be on) with wired headphones, don't know if that's at all related.

In the meantime, I can only guess that this could be fixed with a data wipe, but I haven't even had the ROM installed for 24 hours and that is frustrating.

I captured a logcat through the terminal, I hope it's useful.

Edit: I can't see if the file is actually attaching, please tell me if you can see it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Boulotaur2024:

(Yes you're right molnartibor, there's no communication on XDA forum about new releases, apparently Telegram is the new king, though I personnaly don't like it -too many internet meme and confusing endless angrish, device agnostic, conversations)

This new v1.3 is even smoother for me. New Predator kernel makes wonder here, I have to say.

Couldn't spot many differences between this and v1.2 (icon shape customization is now possible though)

Did a clean install although I first wanted to do a quick dirty flash -but couldn't-

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] molnartibor:
A few things i noticed:

* night light is finally working

* adding traffic indicator to status bar is now possible

* the Essence menu seems to be revamped, with some additional options.

* wired headphone buttons now work for volume control and play/pause

Indeed, the ROM now feels smoother, however the previous version was also not bad initially, but after a few days it got slower, even to the level when music player was kicked out of the ram every 30 seconds, so i had to reboot the phone at least every other day. seems there was some memory leak issue, will see how the new version performs after a few days.

overall, I am pleasently surprised by this ROM, for a long time i was considering anything besides LineageOS a piece of crap, but this ROM proves i should change my mind.

New to rooting and all that stuff, have some basic knowledge, and successfully rooted my A20e with a stock rom and Magisk.

Now I'm trying to boost the performance, as I can't play anything that's more resource consuming for more then 1h without many lagspikes, and wanted to try the Eureka kernel, but I can't use the recovery mode as that was changed by Magisk, and I'm not sure if it even works properly since whenever I start in recovery the touchscreen doesn't work, yet the root work in normal mode except that I can't modify anything in the system folders within apps like Root Browser, i. e. can't change the permissions.

So is it possible to install the kernel though Odin or something else external?

And do any custom ROMs improve performance?

UPDATE AS OF 16 OF MAY 2023

This project isn't working right now, but I am still working on it.

However due the complicated nature of the projects and the fact that I have little free time means this project will probably still take time to get to functional state.

If anyone has any idea please contact me, any hell is welcome!

______________________________________________________

Hi!

So I decided I wanted to flash custom software into my phone, but it's bootloader was locked so I figure a way to unlock it!

I am going to leave 2 methods: 👊🏻

1. It's the most risky but has more chance of working. The idea is to flash the whole firmware again to the phone, but from an unlocked model.

This is posible using the EDL mode and Sahara protocol.

The EDL mode is an emergency mode which allows user to flash firmware in case fastboot and ADB fails. It's also available in all Qualcomm devices.

It is also completly independent from the rest of the phone, and it's the first bootloader we have. If everything is ok it triggers the second bootloader(fastboot) which then boots the system(See the diagram if you want).

⚠️As we want to reflash the firmware keep in mind this could brick your phone and I won't take any resposability if it happen ⚠️

Materials

:

-QPST

-Qualcomm Driver

-Working USB Cable

-Fastboot and ADB set up and working

-knoledge on using ADB

Procedure

:

1. Download and install Qualcomm drivers

2. Download and install QPST

4.Downlaod the MBN file

3. Reboot

4. Connect the phone to the PC, then open cmd and run "adb reboot edl".

If you are on fastboot mode, then try "fastboot oem edl", "fastboot reboot-edl", "fastboot reboot edl". One of this should work

5. Go to C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\

6.Open QPST Config(it's a blue phone, see picture)

7. Click on "Start clients" and then "Software download". A new window should open

8. Now we need to select the phone image using the browser button

9. Click on start to flash ⚡️

Please be aware the method wasn't tested, so this could brick your phone. ⚠️

If you decide to try it, and have questions or ru into problems during the process, please let me know. 😇

Also remember to take a backup of your data, as it is goig to be lost. ℹ

____________________________________________________________________________

As for the second method, I tried it and it didn't work for me, but is completly safe so you may want to give it a try. 💁🏻‍♂️

1. Enrrol on the android 12 beta program, AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA

2. Install the update

3. Now exit from the beta program

4. Now you should have an update, it's a rollback to the stable version of android 12. After you installed the update the phone will restart and factory reset.

5. Do the setup as normal

In the end you may have unlocked the bootloader, to check just go to developer options and check if it is enabled or not. 🧐

#mcl, I have the same problem as you have, I live in Portugal and bought a used Pixel 4 but apparently it's origin is the US, Verizon. From your original post I take it that you didn't try this method yourself and hope others will try? Or were you successful?
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gentle_giant:
for anyone in the same situation, read this thread: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ed-against-physical-tampering-in-google-pixel

My guess is: if your pixel's " OEM unlocking " is greyed out it will not be possible to unlock. Although I didn't try the EDL route I'm quit sure that at some point you will get a message "bootloader is locked"
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] #mcl:
Hey I am quite busy recently so I haven't really had time to look more on the thread, though I believe there will always be a way, it may be hard to find but no OS is perfect, and Android is no exception. As it turns out, even if this method worked, when it connect to the internet there will be a high chance that using the IMEI of the phone it will "remember" it's a locked model and won't allow you to flash new firmware.

However I am working on a new method, which is also safer, though I have still work to do, so when It is ready I am going to publish another guide.

Good luck all untill them ;)
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gentle_giant:
Hi mcl, my problem is: I do like to change OS and I did so on my previous HTC M7 and M10. And these 2 phones still function with PixelExperience 10 or 11.

But at best I'm a simple layman with a lot of enthusiasm.

Anyway, I will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully you will find time to make this new method work!

By the way, I see that we are "neighbors", I live in Portugal.

Hahah yeah we are definitely neighbors.

Well I do want to become a software engineer though right now I am just a busy enthusiastic.

[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jroki:
Ok for any phone to work in Edl mode to flash or make any backup we first of all need

1. The testpoint to boot device in Edl mode ( if not already there)

2. We need the firehorse loader of that specific phone.

3. We need .xml firmware

I have a pixel 4 and will try out and update once I get a working loader
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Superbia:
From what I understood the .xml is not needed for a full flash, only for patching. But getting a working firehose file might be trickier. I tested all I can find here and non is working so far.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] #mcl:
Hey so let me update the progress of this project.

Right now I found 2 ways to unlock the bootloader:

1. Using EDL and modifying the fastboot variable that handles if the bootloader is or is not locked.

2. Using an exploit to get soft-root, modify the android properties table and change the oem_unlock_value(see screenshot).

The first method seems harder as it's tough to find the files we need and there is little documentation on using QPST or other apps for modifying the bootloader.

Then I decided to start working on the second method. My phone didn't update to the latest patches so I can see them and create an exploit to get root, and this is where I am stuck, as I don't have enough knowledge to create an exploit, so I need to learn a lot of things before actually being able to exploit my phone. So if anyone has that knowledge I would really appreciate any help!
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Superbia:
Happy to see someone playing around with this. I do like my pixel 4 but I would like it a lot more with an unlocked bootloader so I am available for testing if needed.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] #mcl:
Well, if you want, try running some widely available exploits like DirtyPipe.

If one of them works let me know. Really appreciate people being interested don't his project.

Though, for now, I am still working on the exploit, so if anyone has cybersecurity/ android knowledge any help would be very appreciated!
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Superbia:
I gave that a read and looking at the issues, you will probably hard brick if you attempt bootloader unlock by editing files with root. If google and verizon can't unlock it, EDL seems to be the next plausible option.
