[Realme 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] MegaAndy:
Hi, I just wanted to check, clicking through to the changelog mentions camera as "partial" and Extra cameras on the not working section. I am guessing this means that the wide, portrait and Macro camera are not available to use?

Out of curiosity, are people daily driving this, how are you finding it?

Thanks to OP for keeping devices like these alive with updates.

ofc will brick, u need change recovery to based rui 2.0 (this rom based RUI2.0)

Note:

* If u flash from rUI1.0:

Flash ROM → Flash TWRP RUI2.0 → Format Data!
[Realme 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] roberto888:
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

can it be installed in RMX2061?
[Realme 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] SnipeT:
everything works perfect,

But in home screen and app switches does not look so much smooth,

Otherwise 10/10 marks ..

How to improve this 👆👆👆

May I have to use magisk or any modules for that or this is in inbuild settings if have then tell me which one..

I tried everything but not work..

Thanks again for developing this rom..

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Salute for this devloper
[Realme 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Almadel:
Flashed the 4.1 version through twrp, and there are no issues whatsoever. Everything running smoothly, really enjoying it so far!

One question though, is face unlock not available for this rom? Because i remember android 10 and 11 had them by default but i can't find any settings on this one, for future updates maybe?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tirinoarim:
Have I missed something here? It seems theres an external storage "drive" available for the Diamond (looks like it plugs into USB)??

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news4351.html

Anyone know anthing about this? Does this mean that WinMo6.1 has Generic Storage Device drivers?

Anyone got a Usb -> Mini USB adapter (One of these!) and a pen drive to test?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] frostie01:
just a fast test, and it didnt work :-(

No power is sent out of the connector
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
It's just a flash storage drive which happens to have the HTC logo on it... Nothing more than a promotional item and not intended to be used with the Diamond itself.

Hey there

I'm using an OP9 with pixel 5 spoof, I keep getting the notification to update to android12. Is it just a gimmick?

Has anyone tried that?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] turkertatar:
How you can install pixel port have you link ? İ am searching a12 aosp or pixel port for op9 pro
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Malicious_CT:
I tried the update on my LE2117, after flashing the A12 beta 5, like an idiot lmao because it didn't boot after.

So don't do it!!!

Gonna flash some GSIs and try to fix them for the OP9, maybe it'll work 🤷‍♂️
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pubmastervnt:
let me know how that goes
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pubmastervnt:
this is not pixel port, it's only a magisk module
[LG X screen Questions & Answers] ExodussFTW:
Hi, I can't get a thread from the LG X Power Cellphone, so I'll post here, I have an LG X Power model K220, I'm trying to get a modified rom for Android 9 or 8 or higher for it, I can't find anything at all, I'd like know if anyone knows of any compatible rom of Android 8 or higher type lineage OS, thank you very much in advance.
[LG X screen Questions & Answers] ec7:
Something new abaut this?
[General Questions and Answers] realJulius:
Update: Reinstalled the ROM without TWRP and Magisk and it is working fine.

How should I approach the desire to root then?

Hi,

short story:

unlocked my Xiaoxin Pad Pro running Android 11 ZUI 12.6.X. Worked fine afterwards.

Installed TWRP 3.4.2. from here https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-2-root-lenovo-tb-j706f/?amp

and followed the guide.

"fastboot format userdata" didnt work though and I found no solution, so I skipped it.

Error was mke2fs failed, Cannot generate image for userdata.

Nandroid backup didnt work either:

"Cannot create /data/media/0/twrp' folder (required key not available).

Failed to make backup folder."

Also, there was no system partition when I tried to back it up, only "super".

Solved the backup not possible problem by formating data in TWRP and trying it again.

Installed Magisk with adb sideload and booted..... into a fastboot brick.

Couldnt be solved by factory reset in TWRP and couldnt install new Global ROM .zips from here:

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_P11_Pro/TB-J706F/

It said the files were corrupted.

Changed to Slot B in TWRP and the system booted normally.

Then I wanted to flash a Global ROM with QFIL.

It worked, but once the system booted up it told me "The current system is not compatible with the hardware. The device will power off automatically. It can work normally after flashing back to the factory version system"

In another XDA thread it was said, it is a kind of blocking thing in ZUI 12.6 (and maybe earlier) to prevent installing a Global ROM (on a chinese device). Tried to install the chinese version from the website then,

didnt work either.

Tried the older versions, all tested Android 10 versions are working, no A11 version is working though.

So question 1 is: "How can I change to A11 with root on Global ROM?"

Installed the newest one (the A11 ones arent working) as well as TWRP and Magisk

and it "worked".

But now the display isnt reaction in many cases. Have to click something like 5-10 times or I swipe up,

the screen goes up but when I lift my finger it goes down again instead of e.g. unlocking the screen.

Update 2: I can install OTA updates even with unlocked bootloader and Android 11 isnt available in my region (yet?), so maybe that's the reason the A11 versions didnt work for me.

The ZUI design was way better thouhj

Thxx :)

When click the '+' button on the 'Program' Tab in TF3D, it shows all my programs (Which I have a bunch) when I start to scroll the list to pick the program I want it will lock up the unit requiring a soft reset (remove battery cover, reset hole) The unit completely lockups up, has other encountered this before? It will take me sometimes 5 or 6 attempts to get to the program I want without the unit locking up.

[Nook Touch General] FerociousAndroid:
I just got back from B&N and the employees have a spec sheet for the NEW Nook Glow Light 4 (yes they are calling it NGL4). I got a peak at the spec sheet and it's a 6" model but no release date yet. Anyone have any information on the new Nook? Also noticed the current 6" Nook Glow Light Plus was out of stock. I was thinking about getting a 7" Kobo Libra 2, might have to wait...
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Did you see if they are using the same old tired processor that they've been using, the iMX6SL?

Any mention of what Android version?

You might want to take a look at the Onyx Poke 3 if you are in the market for a 6".

They also have 7", 7.8", 10.3", 13.3"

https://www.boox.com/
[Nook Touch General] FerociousAndroid:
The spec sheet had basic info. Nothing on the hardware. More of an educational info for employees.
[Nook Touch General] FerociousAndroid:
Stopped by B&N today to see if the new Nook Glowlight 4 has been released or a release date. No, according to the B&N employees the release date has been pushed back to mid December. I asked if I can take a pic of the spec sheet but no. Additional info from their employee only info (basic spec):

Screen size: 6", 300ppi

Weight: 6oz

Storage: 32g

Battery: will read multiple weeks on single charge.

Buttons: on bezel

CPU: No info on employee spec sheet

Cores: No info on employee spec sheet
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
B&N just made it official: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/nook-glowlight-4-barnes-noble/1140326110?ean=9780594149293

It's available December 8th for $150.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Wow, I remember when a new Nook model would have people falling over each other to comment. I guess B&N has faded into insignificance. Maybe they concentrated too much on selling ebooks and didn't make a viable device? It remains Kindle for the walled community, Kobo for Linux-based and Onyx for Android. Although there are tons of other brands too.
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
If that Gentoo keyword you scrapped hunting around for information is any kind of indication it seems that Nook might be on course of shifting toward Linux like Kobo, Pocketbook etc already are. It might be that B&N is trying to copy more closely Kindle approach toward these kind of devices because it also is Linux albeit much more heavily modified and walled off. Good thing is that Gentoo is stable binary compiled distro as far as I remember that should be stable albeit maximum user unfriendly but I presume that it will work reliably on default settings or as designed and with minimal amount of storage/memory space required. Question is did they put an Android layer on top of it?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
No, it's all Android. I think "Gentoo" is just their idea of "Generation Two" as in the first series out of Netronix to not use the NXP iMX6SL.

I've already run the reader out of the new Nook on my cell phone. It's all Android.
[Nook Touch General] jptiger:
"Barnes & Noble chief James Daunt said the company planned to "reinvigorate" the Nook line in the months and years ahead — this may just be one of the opening salvos."- Engadget

Will be curious to see what they mean by that...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
LOL. It seems like a very nice reader. I note simplicity (no Bluetooth, etc.). And, with Oreo, difficult to root, which means difficult to add anything. But probably a very nice reader.
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
If I remember well enough Oreo is first version of Android that tried to implement some reasonable resources management like memory usage etc. So that is a good thing. Bad is all versions above 4 start to introduce more and more quirky stuff going further away from initial AOSP. So there is no wonder that projects like LineageOS spawn of as result of that practice. It might be harder to root/hack yet since it is older version of Android who knows. Unlike before they abstain from going with some radical new hardware/software stuff implemented. Device characteristics are textbook example of middle road and targeting most ubiquitous hardware characteristics on the market or in other words best selling models. If it is so then only trump card that they could have under the sleeve is better software. We'll see...
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yeah, I'm scratching my head over this. It's hard to be sure about the hardware specifications when you're only looking at the system software. It looks like this has the same RTL8723DS as found in the Glow 7.8. That does 2.4 GHz (only) WiFi and Bluetooth.

In any case, B&N really fell down on promoting this. Why didn't they put "Coming soon" before Black Friday?
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
So like a NST which theoretically could but in reality does not have bluetooth? I totally missed that one. Oh and there were hints before that they will put another e-ink reader on the market but it was mixed with half-truths and disinformation. It was stated they will partner with Lenovo for e-ink reader and in the end it turned out that they did partnered with Lenovo but for tablet format.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
My very first E-Ink device was a Nook Simple Touch. I'm one of those who jumped right in to comment whenever B&N had a new device on offer! I love my Onyx Boox Note Air 2, but I am curious about this new GL 4. Nostalgia, maybe? I wonder if it will be as easy to root as earlier GL devices?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yeah, the Onyx are pretty nice, aren't they? I'm loving my Poke3.

I already have a root exploit for the new Glow. I may even buy one to see how it works. I'm crazy about the yellow "Daffodil" cover. I don't know whether it will fit my Poke3.
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
I have nothing smart to say. Just thanks to Renate for making my day. Having root exploit for device that is yet to hit the market is awesome. It made me chuckle so hard that my glasses almost fell off my head.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I ordered one Monday night. It's already shipped. It should be here by Friday.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I ordered one yesterday as well. B&N estimates that mine will arrive on Thursday.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
My GL4 arrived not long ago. It looks similar to the GL 3 of a few years ago. There does not appear to be a way to turn on Developer Settings as there was with the GL 3, which could make rooting the device more challenging. It has page turn buttons - nirvana for some people. It downloaded an update as soon as I turned it on! It's light and easy to hold. Warm/cold light is easily adjustable. Good impressions so far.

Edit: When I connect the GL4 to my Mac, it shows up as a Nook drive (no surprise there) but only 5.36GB. This device has 32GB of internal storage. Looks like B&N may have partitioned the free space once again. Yes, that's still a decent amount of space, but why not have access to all the free space on the device? (Probably in an attempt to guard against rooting...)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Oops, I did it again.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
Ojkay. Those of you who have the GL4... Go to Settings/About. Tap the Nook icon over the "Check for system update" button several times. You can access developer options that way.

PS: @Renate: I go by downeaster59 on Mobileread! (In case you hadn't guessed!)
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I have Nova Launcher and a couple of other apps installed, including one that would not work on the GL3. No root needed. The hardware on the GL4 is better than the 3.
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
Weather to wait until Renate provide some solution going through her console way or stand upon a solution Windsor1959 provided for developer option? To buy, to read, perchance to hack. Aye there is the rub!
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
It all depends! I'm very interested in what Renate will come up with. We can install apps without root, but root would come in handy in a number of ways, such as the possibility of setting up the page turn buttons to work with third party reading apps.

This little Nook is a good reading device. If that's not enough, it's open for at least some hacking here and there. Double our pleasure!
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
If this device support Project Trebble that is enabled by default in Oreo it should be modding heaven. That could be part of an answer to a problem you have seen with smaller externally visible data partition. I think you should check that one out. Based on previous B&N practice its a slim chance that it can support Project Trebble. They do these silly partitioning scheme partly as a measure to enable safer factory restore and such but I suspect it is largely as an effort to keep most of the customers within realms of their paywall garden. I personally do not understand this attitude. Just make purchase account based and ebooks available to registered devices without walling us off for crying out loud!
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I checked by adb shell to see if Project Treble was enabled. The response: true

Ah, but can it run the old Kindle app with correct display?
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
Which Kindle version? The one that had been edited to work better with E-Ink? That goes back a few years!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Yeah, this one. I'm not a big fan of always the new version. Too much is too much in oh so many apps. This old version installs and run fine on my Oreo tablet, although it can't hide the status bar. Otherwise, it's fine. With past NGL iterations the Kindle app has been unable to display pages properly. I'm just trying to get a feeling for how much random carnage they did to the Oreo OS.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I'll give it a try! I used this version on older Nooks. I'm curious to see how this works.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The problem with Treble is that it might eventually use incremental updates which will break if you go modifying things.

It seems to me that Magisk should work just fine, allowing you to mod things without jeopardizing the ability to do a normal stock update.

Ok, I just did a Magisk install.

If you want to do things the easy way, just install Magisk.

E60P54_android:/ $ su
E60P54_android:/ #
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
No, this old Kindle app does not work well on this Nook. First of all, the app won't accept my Amazon password, so Amazon then texts me a number code to replace my password for the app. Secondly, the app installs and runs. However, once you download a book and tap to turn a page, the page appears and then disappears quickly. Tap again and the next page appears and then just as quickly disappears.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I though we needed to patch boot.img to do a Magisk install. I have the Magisk app installed on my Nook already. Would I just enter the code you give through adb? How did you find the update? Inquiring minds want to know!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
The login behavior (with OTP) is normal for this old app. The page turn issue you describe is sadly similar to what everyone else has described for all the other NGL versions.

Curious. More recent versions may behave better but they are really bloated, just like the Nook app for Android. Tsk.

Thanks for trying it.
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
Good to know. Two tablets from 2018 that B&N put on the market also support Project Treble. So if there is any parallel like between NST and Nook Color these tablets might be a devices where some software upgrades can be looked upon/found.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Download http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/piper/8.1/gentoo/1.110/update.zip (unless you already have a copy hanging around).

Unzip and park boot.img on /sdcard/

Run Magisk and select boot.img as file to modify.

adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_1234567

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery magisk_1234567

fastboot reboot recovery (and if that doesn't work, just boot to regular then adb reboot recovery)
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
Thanks! I didn't know how to find the update! It wasn't listed on the B&N site.

One thing I want to try once my Nook is rooted is to see if I can set up the page turn buttons to work with third party reader apps. I did this with a device some years ago but I'll need to look up how I did it! As I recall, I left one button on each side for the Nook stock reader, and used one button on each side for other apps.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
My Nook isn't responding to any fastboot commands. I checked with another device to make sure that fastboot was properly installed on my Mac. It was. After I do adb reboot bootloader and then do the fastboot flash recovery command, I get <waiting for any device> If I do adb reboot bootloader and then do fastboot devices, I get the prompt again and nothing else. You got those commands to work, obviously, so I must be missing something!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention... Fastboot is using a strange VID/PID, one from Allwinner.

If you were using Windows you'd just add this to a stock Android ADB/Fastboot driver and install it as an unsigned driver.

%SingleFastBootInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1F3A&PID_1010

Since you're on a Mac, I dunno.

You can do an lsusb -v and see if you can find that 1f3a/1010.

Do you know udev rules? Maybe add one like this?

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1f3a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1010", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
Thanks for your reply. I'll look at a couple of options when I have more time later. My Nook does connect by USB with my Windows VM, so I could try Windows there. I don't know much about udev rules, but I'll see what I can find out about doing this on a Mac.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
It seems that I move forward one step and then come to a halt at the next one! I tried doing that on my Ubuntu VM. The magisk-patched boot.img seemed to flash properly. The fastboot reboot recovery command did not work, so I booted to regular and then did adb reboot recovery. That took me to the screen that asks me if I want to do a factory reset. I didn't want that, so I got out of that and rebooted to system. It booted fine, but the Nook is not rooted. Back to the drawing board! But not tonight...

Thanks again!!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Mmm, yeah, that's a Catch 22. I've got a hardware console so I've just been dd'ing recovery in and then I do a reboot recovery. B&N never gets a chance to rewrite recovery with that /system/bin/install-recovery.sh. When you boot to the regular system it wipes recovery. (When you get Magisk working you'll shadow install-recovery so that it can do no harm.)

There seems to be a bunch of bugs (intentional or otherwise) in the firmware. Fastboot doesn't seem to take the argument for reboot. Fastboot doesn't seem to ungzip ramdisks correctly.

Simplest solution: flash boot (NOT bootloader!) with your Magisk image.
[Nook Touch General] Windsor1959:
I thought that flash boot was normally the way to go, but that this Nook was different based on your experience. Well, flash boot actually worked! My Nook is rooted now!

Thanks again!
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
When Renate said that they are using lets say not mainstream chip I have impression that they forcing the security through obscurity. Now when she found out that strange AllWinner VID stuff there in ADB it looks to me that they again did shoestring budget bootstrapping something to the board and hope it will not fly apart. More joy for you I guess polishing out that.
[Nook Touch General] SJT75:
Double post. Sorry.
