Great apps.

I would be great if the folders protected with password could be hidden and access them with a doubble swipe or long press or something like that.

Please send code.
[Android Apps and Games] RobbieTr:
@thotran7989 can you respond.
[Android Apps and Games] Rebel021:
Installed and I'm very happy with it.

I don't need a promo code as I paid for premium and I got Todays weather for free from the Developer

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microzee:
Hello fellow more experienced rom devs,

I have been looking through the guides on how to develop my own rom. Let me briefly explain what I want to do:

I would like a ROM that has only 5 apps: calls, text, Google Maps, Youtube Music, and the camera.

No Google Play Store, no web browser, no search, no option to sideload apps, etc.

Myself and a several peers are looking to disconnect. But why go by something like the light phone or punkt or a dumb phone when our current phones have everything we need, but we would like to limit their functionality.

I have two questions. How hard of an undertaking would this be for a noob to develop a rom like this?

Is there some sort of ROM already that can be customized to fit this criteria?

Thank you,

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hellodrsoul:
Finally, after a long battle with Mi 11 ultra and MIUI bugs for many past months, I jumped the ship from Android back to iOS and got myself a shiny new iPhone 13 pro max. I lost some 500 hundred USD because of my misadventure. In the interim, I used S21 ultra for 1 month but did not find it amusing either.

Reasons for switching from Mi11 ultra were;

1. Forced to use bug-loaded beta software on my only device because the stable versions were lacking in either features or security.

2. The back screen was a failed experiment for me. Did not find it useful as I was never a selfy-taking guy in the first place as I don't like seeing my own depression a lot😅.

3. Although iOS is not that open to use, it still has got many features to keep me hanging around. I would miss sideloading apps with that ease.... 😏

Sorry for hurting anyone's sentiments here. I do not intend or wish to ask anyone for switching to iOS. I am just trying to inform a googler a little bit...

I am very much thankful for the support I got from this community. Stay blessed.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
You force yourself to use beta versions and then complain for bugs, lol
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hungragezone:
Do use understand what "beta" stand for?

And what do u mean lack of feature and security?

What feature exactly?

Lack of security? Ios never show that your phone now has what security update date, so people will never complain sh1t things about that like Android, LOL

I owned 1 ipad and android phone, and now I only use my ipad when my child want to see some youtube video, when my phone is charging (30 mins to full charge) and i can use Facebook or chrome when waiting, just all.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hellodrsoul:
I used the beta because the stable ones would not feel secure as the security patch would always be a few months old.

Lack of features means the difference between the features in EU ROM beta (weekly) vs EU stable and not between iPhone 13 pro max vs mi 11 ultra.

Comparing Android vs iOS is a never-ending argument. Both have their pros and cons. It depends on a user what fits his/her requirements. I traded the openness on android for optimization and security on iOS. One example of a real-world impact of optimization is the battery life; despite having a smaller battery, iPhone pro max lasts for 2 days on a single charge for me. The overnight drop in the battery percentage is barely 1-2%. Mi 11 ultra needed to be charged twice daily and the overnight drop in the battery would be between 5 and 10% depending on strength of phone signals I guess. The fast charging speed was convenient but having to connect it to the charger twice daily was not.

Almost every week, Android trojans-loaded apps are detected even on the Play Store, let alone in the sideloaded apps. In such settings, Google either needs to be able to deliver the latest security patches to all vendors independently of their collaboration or shut the hell up about security. With their current approach, only Pixel phones get timely updates. The rest of us are left at the mercy of vendors who decide when to provide us with those security patches. Samsung still does some justice for being consistent with its update policy. Xiaomi is a total loss in this regard.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Mitoraf:
"Both have their pros and cons. It depends on a user what fits his/her Requirements."

You said everything in that statement, I am not trying to pull you back to Mi 11 Ultra, but some of the stuff you said earlier is not justified in my opinion:

First: Beta software is what it's called: "BETA" as in "FOR TESTING" I would not use it on a phone that is a daily driver, as I am using Xiaomi.EU Stable I haven't encountered any bugs, the OS is rock solid, and I don't feel like i'm missing out on "features", also about the lack of the latest security update: are you downloading tons of ****, from third party apps and sideloading a ton of apps? otherwise the latest update is not the most crucial thing, if you keep apps updated by google play store you should be more than fine, I never had any issues on that regard and I'm on android since 2015, finally the battery thing is totally justified, I am not heavy user so mostly a single charge a day is enough for me, but I totally get having to charge this phone for twice or more a day for heavy use, luckily it's half solved by its awesome 67w wired and wireless charging, so in the end, if you are staying with the phone long term, I would agree iphone 13 pro max should last way longer, due to it's awesome battery life, but if you are a person who likes to advance with technology, Mi 11 Ultra and in the future when Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be released is the way to go, (I personally upgrade every year), but again as you said:

"Both have their pros and cons. It depends on a user what fits his/her Requirements."

the good thing is that we have choice, and if I would feel that I had enough with technology and would like to settle down, I would get an iphone 13 pro max (or whatever top end iphone is released by then) as my daily driver as it is a get and forget device with software support of 5+ years,

sorry for long rant, I just love talking about phones :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hellodrsoul:
My only reason for having the beta was to be able to have the monthly security patch. Because it was the only way to obtain the patches as soon as they became available. I did sideloaded apps. Morever, my browsing habits are not very secure in general. So for me, a security patch used to be a big deal. I donated Mi 11 ultra to a friend of mine who does not give a thing about security patches. He is happily using it on stable global version ☺️
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I hate apple but the difference between iphone 13 pro max and this phone is chalk and cheese

I don't think any SD 888 phones Are power efficient but this one is probably close to the worst of the worst

As a heavy user I have to turn down the display resolution and refresh rate and still need to charge it 2x daily

The 67w charging is nice , I don't think I could live with a device that takes 2-3 hours to charge anymore

I usually change phones yearly anyway so my next will hopefully be charging at 120w or faster

Xiaomi needs to work on the software as well instead of just churning out millions of phones a week

This phone is a worse user experience than my Huawei mate 20 pro in some areas and that just shouldn't happen at this price range
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hellodrsoul:
In my little opinion, Xiaomi does not have the capacity and expertise to deliver flagship experience. They are better known for cheaper mid rangers. Look at MIUI; it is the same experience from under a 200 phone to the ones above 1000. Even ads are present in their flagships which I was unable to comprehend because they charge premium price for their flagships and the ads did not need to be on them as they did not need to generate additional revenue at least from the flagships. I know I could block ads but that is not the point. The point is Xiaomi mindset to not differentiate flagships from mid rangers from software point of view.

Before an existing flagship is optimized, Xiaomi shoot us with another flagship. This circle continues and the flagships are sort of demeaned/insulted lol.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Mitoraf:
I don't get any ads, but I do agree, the software must improve the fact that optimization takes time is sad and annoying, to think that the hardware is really good but the software is limiting it... Which is a shame
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. See ya!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you want a flagship that can compete with Apple and exceed them, Samsung.

Unfortunately Samsung runs hot and cold, so you got to grab the hot ones like the Note 10+.

The last year for both Samsung and the Adroid OS has been wretched. Samsung sunk a lot of money and effort into the Fold series and their other flagship lines suffered heavily as a result... and Samsung got chump change for this epic blunder.

Android forgot its users buy Androids because they don't like iPhones... idiots.

Both these corporations need to learn the definition of insanity; making the same mistake and expecting a different result.

iPhone is no gem and are behaving more like their CCP partners as time passes. Their invasive scan for child porn almost was fielded a few months ago. They will try to do it or something worse in due time, the writings on the wall. They were testing the waters without a second thought to your privacy or the performance hit you would suffer because of it.

iPhone charges more for memory (and memory is not expandable), accessories and service. For what? They been using the cheapest labor force they can find for years.

iPhones lack the free Galaxy Store customization found in Samsung's. You decide what your Samsung will look and act like to a very large extent. iPhones are stiff.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hellodrsoul:
Apple charge fee for providing unfragmented, cleaner OS, and super optimized third party apps for each and every iPhone. A15 bionic is superfast, more efficient, and more intelligent than snapdragon 888 (Exynos does not count!). I agree iPhones are stiff and there is room for improvement in iOS if you compare it to Android. You obviously would need to forego some features and open to enjoy some other set of features when you switch the OS.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] blackhawk:
The Android platform allows the manufacturer as well as the user to largely load the device as they see fit. A large portion of the burden of optimization falls on the user. Be it something the manufacturer overlooked or more commonly misconfigured settings and/or 3rd party apps. It's simply impossible to test all the variables with so many variants and 3rd party apps.

As the end user it becomes your task to do what it takes to debug -your- own unique platform.

I have a few rules I learned to follow with Adroids and have my own favorite flavor. I've learned over time what works best* and almost never update. I run stock Samsung's with a Package Disabler and VPN firewall.

Result is a fast, stable platform that fulfills it's mission. My oldest N10+ is running on 9, it's current load is 21 months old, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. My next upgrade will be going from a 512gb to a 1tb V30 SD card.

All my computers are dual drive including my smartphones. 512gb doesn't cut it nor does having the critical data folders on the same drive as the OS. All my crash and burns be it PC or smartphones never took out the data drive(s).

Regardless I redundantly stagger backup my data drives. In the end the only thing that is not replaceable is critical data. This multilayered approach is the method I use to physically firewall that data.

Ideally I want two 1tb SD card slots on the smartphone🤣

*customized to my own unique requirements but not done overnight. A sometimes steep learning curve, but ultimately with less limitations.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hellodrsoul:
May I ask whether security, evolving and improving privacy, latest features, improved battery life and individual app optimizations do not matter on your end? If so, the setup you just described is optimus prime!

For me, these things come first before anything so that I do not worry about grey internet habits 😂.

Customization on iOS is indeed limited. But with iOS 15, many things have improved. Homescreen can be customized to a great extent. Such as changing icons, hiding labels etc. can be done via the shortcut app. While on the other hand, the mess created by gesture based navigation on third party launchers on Android have effectively rendered these launchers redundant. Customization on iOS are steadily increasing while on Android, they are decreasing according to my understanding.

Optimization of third party apps for iOS is the most underrated feature of iOS. I am not much into playing games. But I do play chess and angry birds. These two are way better on iOS than on Android. Especially the chess.com app is dope. WhatsApp on iOS is also better than on Android. Ironically, even chrome on iOS (webkit based) is cleaner and more power efficient than chrome on Android (Blink based).

Again, iOS fits my use case scenario better. This may not apply to others. I get this 👍🏻
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] blackhawk:
Security has never been an issue since I been running on Android 9. I has one maliciously scripted jpeg that damaged some files in the download folder; I deleted jpeg and repaired or deleted the damaged files. Gone.

Had one trojan preloader that squeaked by the Samsung browser but deleted it before it was able to get it's payload, DOA. Both were almost 2 years ago. I now either back out of back websites or very rarely if really bad close the browser and clear the cache. The Brave browser is pretty much bullet proof. Karma Firewall lets me know if anything is running in the background as well.

The scoped storage in Android 11 and 12 is unwanted and unwelcome. It's sucks cpu cycles and screws up trusted apps. Many apps are firewall blocked by me anyway if they don't need internet access.

It took a fair amount of time to optimize the N10+ over many months. My SOT ranges from 7-12%@hour, tap on AOD with cell serveice active runs at >.5%@hr (typical charging/discharging pattern show below). The settings on the new N10+ Android 10 variant are almost identical and it gets maybe slightly better battery life. The Android 10 variant also retains the physical navigation buttons option as show below, which I prefer. Not sure which variant I like more but the Android 9 one is easier to troubleshoot.

Stock One UI launcher, Galaxy Good Lock modules, and DIGI clock. Hidden short cut switches everywhere, 4 in the clock widget it's self. Many more on the side panels including gesture navigation via One Handed Operation plus.

I respect your choice 100%, will just tell you i have the MI 11 Ultra eu stable rom 256gb Chinese version phone and never have any isues at all.

Im on the 12.5.20 rom to BUT, because i have to use Fastboot for the new miui13 instead of TWRP which i feel secure on, i must make a change to, just to another Android brand, i had the S21 to when it was released, we never liked each other... And its a big shame because i love this mi 11 ultra.

But im not a ROM or even a beta guy i must admit, now i tried a phone with eu rom, but never again.

I still hope to be safed by a new version TWRP, before i buy the next Android, so i atleast can have some different launchers.

Good luck out there 👍🏻

Ok i have done all the following steps from jocky forum guide and now i unlocked the CID whichever you call it. now i went thru all to test it out its still the same but i do see the word... inex which mean its already flashed anyways i press the camera buttons and the camera showns plain black screen and can i asked why? or its not done developing yet till i put in the cooking rom? i dont know how this work but to tell you that the camera is showing just plain black screen of course the album and others are there but when trying to take a picture its just plain black i even moved around toward the light and still black.... so any idea of helping me out here? and also is there a way to reset the tilt back to normal instead of doing the clear storage setting... please help and i would greatly appericated it.:eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Hard to understand what you're trying to say, but... If you flashed a custom ROM, you might not have the correct radio version for it. Each ROM will require certain radio versions to work properly, and the radio isn't always included with it so you need to read, find what radio version is needed, and flash it yourself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
Sounds like you have the wrong Radio.

Radio's need to be matched to the ROM you are running. Some of the unlockers flash special patch radio's. You need to re-flash a normal one.

Have a look at this thread and select a more appropriate one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393182

[General Questions and Answers] healerdan:
If a VoLTE capable phone has the mbn files updated to use those of an AT&T white listed phone what would need to happen to get the phone active on AT&T's network?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The same as any other device, SIM/carrier unlock the device then activate the device on AT&T using an AT&T SIM.

I know what white list means but I don't understand what that has to do with what you are asking.

Also, just because the device is VoLTE capable, that does not necessarily mean you will be able to use the VoLTE feature on the AT&T network, even if you successfully activate the device on AT&T. VoLTE is controlled and regulated by the carrier, you will not be able to use VoLTE unless AT&T offers VoLTE support for your specific device, if they do not offer VoLTE support for your specific model number, you will not be able to use VoLTE on the AT&T network.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
OP, it would help to know which model of phone.

My unlocked N10+ has no issues on AT&T.

Works identically to my AT&T N10+ variant.

Try talking to AT&T advanced technical support.
[General Questions and Answers] healerdan:
Right. So VoLTE is a software program which must be present in the firmware of the phone. When AT&T developed their whitelist, they charged manufacturers to "certify" their VoLTE software on the AT&T network. The manufacturer of my phone (ASUS) along with many other manufacturers chose not to pay AT&T for the privilege of AT&T's customers continuing to use their (sometimes) relatively new devices (mine is barely two years old now, and I purchased it outright with the intention of using it for 5-6 years.)

So the software which runs VoLTE from my phone can be altered to work like one of AT&T's 'whitelisted' phones. This is discussed in this guide (as well as others) in which the final few steps has us replace the VoLTE programming with that of a phone from a different manufacturer.

My question is, supposing I can comfortably flash the .mbn file from a phone on AT&T's whitelist AND it works, what other information does AT&T have on my phone which might prevent my phone from connecting to their network? I believe that when I spoke to them and activated my IMEI they asked what phone I had. I think that based on the model information which I told them, it has been disabled*. If I were to tell them "oh, yeah, it's actually a Pixel 4" would there be any other checks which I'd have to spoof/bypass to continue using my phone?

*Also, I'm sure that my phone tried to make a 3g call which their system could have flagged. I'm working to reprogram my phone to only operate with VoLTE, so when I reactivate my phone that flag wouldn't reappear.
[General Questions and Answers] healerdan:
I didn't feel that my specific model was relevant and figured there's plenty of others wondering a similar thing as AT&T's actions are causing many perfectly good phones to go to disuse. I wanted this thread to generally discuss VoLTE programming and what, if any, recourse a power user might have to program their own non-whitelisted phone to conform with AT&T's network demands.

As you asked, and I would certainly appreciate any personalized assistance, I am using an ASUS ROG ii. The phone is VoLTE capable, and is functional on T-mobile's network, but ASUS apparently didn't want to pay AT&T to "certify" the phone on AT&T's network. I know no stock firmware coming from ASUS will allow me to connect to AT&T's network, but a procedure described in this guide ends with us flashing the .mbn file of a different phone onto ours to utilize "known working" VoLTE software.

I'm sure finding an .mbn that matches both the ROG ii's hardware AND is compatible with AT&T's network isn't going to be a breeze, but assuming that's possible - what other hurdles might I face with AT&T? If I call them to have my phone activated and tell them it's a pixel 4 what happens if I've programmed my phone to communicate on their network as though it were a pixel 4?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I don't think AT&T really cares that much as they're making a killing on the service.

The worst they will do unless it's illegal or specified in writing is to not support the device as far as troubleshooting it. Oddly some techs there will go out of their way sometimes to help you find out of box solutions.

Once you update it you may have to ask them to do a network reset on their end.

I always try to verify a device I'm getting is 100% compatible with their network, if not I return it.

That's one of the first shake down tests I do with a new phone.

This is why🥴
