[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Quigley:
So all the kidding about first world problems aside, this is possible to solve with any launcher now that supports icon packs. I came across a workaround here:

How to Create a Non-Adaptive Icon Pack? | Matthew Miner's Blog

The official blog of Matthew Miner. Sometimes I might say something.

matthewminer.name

.

Not related to this hack, but after these steps don't forget to open the generated apk (i.e. the icon pack), clear your launcher's cache, and maybe do a force close (with the latest debug version of Lawnchair it took me even two times force closing to get rid of the old icons). And also make sure "Auto Adaptive Icons" is off (to disable making adaptive icons out of icons that do not support adaptiveness).

Interestingly, it also works with icons for newly installed apps, without having to reload anything. You can even remove Icon Pack Studio altogether. Presumably, the simplicity of this "icon pack" only has the descriptions of the background and the logo size, applying it dynamically to any icon. Possibly there could be a "generic icon pack" that can be installed on any phone that disables legacy icons. I will test that when I have the opportunity.

This is just a workaround of course, but serves its purpose until there is some general Android setting to disable adaptive icons, or if that seems impossible, when launchers start to hack this in as an option (in the same fashion as this workaround, presumably also like Nova does and the previously linked Stack Overflow page).
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Quigley:
Interestingly, when you turn "Auto Adaptive Icons" on then new icons for newly installed apps do not get a legacy icon, but when you turn it off they do. For existing apps that were installed at the time of the icon pack generation they stay legacy regardless.

And one more thing:

Just did that on another phone with the same launcher but was unsuccessful. The icons do not change until you make a specific package for that phone.

Hello Guys!

I own a HTC ELF (64mb) ´for almost a year now and about 1 month ago a malfunction happend. My guarantee did repair it but it tooked over 4 weeks until i got my phone back... They changed almost the whole phone but they leaved the old battery in. 1100mA Li-ion over 4 weeks uncharged --> not good!

So unforunalty my battery life is shorter now :( It needs almost 5h until it charges full but it has not even 25% of the lifetime it had before!

Its really desperating because i cant do anything with my phone without carring the charge cable with me. Im sick of beeing afraid that my charge dies immediately so im looking for a new one. Ebay has some pretty nice offers like 2400mA charge but i dont like the bigger size.

There are 2 options im considering with:

First is to buy a "normal" 1100mA or

Get a "external" battery with 3000 or even 4400mA of giantical power! Only Negative point about is the fact to carry a special charge with ya but i think its not that bad as my idea looks :P

look here for a 3000 version

Or even 4400 !

So what do you guys think about my idea? What is better? To buy a new battery or leave the old and get a external charge with 4 time more power?
[Touch GSM Accessories] ov3r:
it's always a good idea to buy a second battery, but i dont recommend you to use an external power supply that has 3 or 4 times than the original one.

Hello everyone and happy new year, my Samsung s21 ultra unlocked phone on Verizon wireless is still running the BUK7 firmware ,not sure why it won't update, anyone else having the same issue, help would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jeston:
Update hasn't rolled out fully to everyone yet after they halted it. Stop making new threads, just be patient...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] androidbuff123:
I'm on US unlocked with a Mint Moble sim and I got the update after BUK7 which was the BUKF. It was a small <300 MB update, but still with November patch.

If you don't have the update yet, you can download it from sammobile or samfw

But we should bet getting one soon with the December security update. Seems like the SM-G998U1 model with all other CSCs are getting them since yesterday. The unlocked model has the XAA CSC and for that the last update was December 8th to BUKF

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Cremosidad:
Hello I have a razer phone 2 a long time ago I wanted to install a specific rom was the lineageOs but the problem is that I also install the recovery by removing the twrp, personally I like it better that is why I tried to change it again but I do not know what It could have passed the recovery if I change but the system is no longer there, I had seen that using the repair or change file system could help to repair the corrupt partitions but it tells me that there is nothing present and when trying to install any file it always gives an error.

A solution that I can think of is to install a backup copy but unfortunately I did not take any and I could not find one online that is why I ask for help to see if someone can provide me with a backup copy of the entire phone since that can possibly revive it.

Thank you

Is there any specificity to this ROM ? I mean, compared to Lir and LeaOS you posted recently, or DotOS which is more about performance ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] -Alf-:
CAOS , LiR, DotOS, crDRom etc. are AOSP GSI ROMs based on 'phhusson' sources, so the difference in performance, battery life, etc. is minimal. And all have some common bugs- VoLTE, native call recording, offline charging etc. If you like to take pictures, you will be disappointed with the camera...(btw, Footej camera 2-premium is a good enough replacement for gcam).

The main differences between these ROMs are in the customization options.

In my experience CAOS is faster, crDRom is customization monster, LiR is a perfect balance between battery efficiency, performance and the customization. As for DotOS, the previous version 5.1.3 was better.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] AltairFR:
hi Alf.

Indeed it is a good comparison of the different ROMs. For charging go to PHH trebble option and enable fastcharging to 4000ma. For the Volte it is in progress..., and for the camera I provide GCAM in addition

Thanks you two ! That's good stuff to know

But won't this one harm the battery ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Hykosit:
So I looked for this one, unfortunately the app was sell to an other company (ZipoApp), and seeing the recent opinions on google play the app was just monetized and the premium is now 10€ by damn week, and people fear for user privacy ... Smell like a bad story to me

Do you have any old apk, from before the acquisition ?

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] huuhaa_tm:
I have flashed this to Honor 8 frd-l19 (emui 8 device). Some problems have been tackled down now with help of dev, thanks to that. Apparently only things to do for now would be able to create misc folder at /data/misc and also credstore at /data/misc/credstore to be able to boot now.*1

Any ideas how to get those folders done? atm. I can access to phone via adb while phone stays at CAOS logo screen, maybe between 10-15mins.

I've tried to:

sudo adb root

adb remount rw, /data

which succees

then

sudo adb shell

cd data

mkdir misc

but get error

mkdir: '/data/misc': Read-only file system

I've also tried to install busybox at twrp*2, but using it via twrp terminal doesn't give su or sudo. When trying without su and just busybox mkdir /data/misc/ it seems to create one and I can even cd to it and create subfolder. After changing right permissions and using chown to those folders everytjing seems to be good. Sure twr doesn't show misc_ce and misc_de etc under data which were tegere when using adb.

Well no surprise that reboot habgs to CAOS logo and when xhecking via adb shell thete's no misc folder under data.

Can anyone give some tips how to be able to create those folders since I can't use adb via twrp or stock recovery. Also strange that when remounting /system as rw I can push & echo changes to there, but not able to create directories to /data after doing the same.

If someone can help, I will shere needed steps to get this running at Honor 8 frd, unless that will just revel next layer of problems.

*1 Device will boot to OS at first boot, won't boot after restart. So after logs there could b found reasons and now tried to fix those with help of dev and might be at the stage that to create folders just once again will be fix.

*2 I have found only 2 different twrp images, both at version 3.2.1-0 which are suitable for this device, others haven't work at all.

I don't have a solution but LiR build doesn't seem to have that problem. I could reboot many times on a hi3650 P9
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Thtrr:
I have tried several roms on my honor 8 but It gets stuck with the logo :(( Waiting for solutions
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] huuhaa_tm:
i got it working finally. Should be working with this ROM too, but I tested this Caos, LiR and LeaOS first all with same result, I was able to boot for first time, then after reboot phone was stuck at logo. Short solution:

After flashing GSI to honor 8 and first time boot to OS, enable dcreenlock (pincode, fingerprint, whatever method you decide), then you can reboot your device without problems, camera won't work rhought.

Bit longer explanation:

First I tried to edit fstab.hi3650 and plat_sepolicy.cil files to fix problems but still after reboot phone was stuck at logo. I douple checked and pulled those files to see changes were in place. Took some logs and seemed those folders are missing etc. Well tried to fix that and spent time on that. Atthe end it seems that decryption weren't disabled even after tried that, so setting screenlock and checked it is indeed encypted and reboot after that I wasn't obviously stuck at logo anymore cause now it asken that pin instead and ater that booted to os.

Steps I need to follow while flashing GSI ( I now have /e/ OS 0.22-Q GSI btw. decided to test Q based with up to date security and while testing that I found out I actually need to set screenlock). are following:

1) install stock recovery and rom if not already running those

2 factory reset & wipe cache at stock recovery <-this will fail if not installed stock rom at first.

3) go to TWRP - obviously first install it

4) format data

5) reboot to TWRP again

6) do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache) !

7) can't wipe system via twrp (3.2.1-0-frd) so boot to bootloader and do fastboot erase system

8) while already on bootloader: fastboot flash system image.img

- if not flashing aurorastoreservices or fdroidpriviledges, alternatively gapps skip to 11)

9) reboot to TWRP

10) no option to resize at this twrp so I just either flash aurorastoreservices and fdroidpriviledge

11) reboot to bootloader, flash stock recovery back

12) reboot to stock recovery

13) select factory reset, this will fail at ~20% with other than stock rom ( so won't empty your phone) but gives following option

14) select wipe cache

15) reboot

I wasn't able to reboot even first time without flashing stock recovery back at the end and then using it as above.

I just hope there could be fix for camera, but unless fix which was able to use with Huawei P9 Lite at A9 based gsi can be somehow replicated with A10 base and newer, might really be camera is unusable.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Thtrr:
thank you for the reply. Definitely going to try this one. But how can I get the stock recovery image? I've tried huawei update extractor but I don't get the recovery.img that I can flash via fastboot.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] huuhaa_tm:
Do you have update.app file for yor phone? Also what OS do you use and what is your phone exact model? For example at my phone:

fastboot oem get-build-number

(bootloader) :FRD-L19 8.0.0.521(C432)

OKAY [ 0.003s]

Finished. Total time: 0.00

So I grabbed stock rom here: https://androidhost.ru/998

I did have update.app file at my external drive from earlier yeasrs, so I extracted that to get RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img image. But you should be able to get that update.app file (with different name) from there too. That zip contains update files for FRD-L02_hw_eu, FRD-L09_hw_eu and FRD-L19_hw_eu but you should be eble to find stock for your model as well, but might need different package for your device.

You can extract those zips and find ie. update_FRD-L19_hw_eu.app which you should be able to extract. I have linux, so I extracted by using this tool:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-huawei-update-extractor-linux-perl.3318880/

Anyway at the end you will get folder which has lot of img files, including SYSTEM.img and RECOVERY_RAMDISK.IMG

Flash back system.img and recovery_ramdisk.img at fastboot, boot to stock recovery and do factory reset and if that success and you can boot to OS which isn't quite stock yet, no need to do full flashing of stock. But if you have troubles to boot, and need to flash full stock back, then you should now use update method to get full stock rom back (Note! This will relock your bootloader so better have unlock code safe)

To do this update copy update_sd.zip and FRD-L19_hw_eu folder which contains update_sd_FRD-L19_hw_eu.zip files to dload folder at sdcard (obviously the versions which will match your phone), power off the phone (that sdcard obviously in the phone) and start by holding volume up + volume down + power buttons pressed as long as you see eRecovery starts to check updatefiles first before installing.

After installing that update phone is back to full stock, you need to re-open bootloader, do successfully factory reset at eRecovery and after that wipe cache and restart to bootloader 7 fastboot mode and continue at step 3 and install twrp, now you have that recovery_ramdisk.img to flash back at last steps.

Wonder should I've post this somewhere else, since this process isn't much related to LiR, but hopefully you get your device working and otheres probably can just skip these posts. But in case still problems, send PM and if you have telegram probably should continue either one of those, so not too much about this case under this thread.

PS. Huge thanks also to @sepehr.moh81 and caos dev & hi3650 telegram group for helping.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Thtrr:
I have the update.app file for EMUI8 but the file seem to be corrupt and I cannot extract the recovery. There is not even any recovery.img in FRD-L09_hw_eu folder when I open it on the extractor app. I've tried to download several packages from the website (Androidhost.ru). I got the recovery.img extracted from Emui 5 stock package but flashing ended in an error. My model is FRD-L09 and I have manually flashed EMUI8 (8.0.0) since the official version is EMUI5 in my region.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] huuhaa_tm:
Hmm.. Tested with package linked above which is for FRD-L19 8.0.0.521(C432), and after:

./splitupdate update_FRD-L09_hw_eu.app

There really is no recovery.img there, but there is if I try with older UPDATE.app for my device.

I will PM you regarding this issue, hopefully we can find right package for your device.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] -Alf-:
There's no recovery.img file in EMUI 8 firmware, only recovery_ramdisk in UPDATE.APP . On EMUI 5.x we have boot.img , recovery.img etc.etc., on EMUI 8.x we have ramdisk.img & kernel.img instead of boot.img, recovery_ramdisk.img instead of recovery.img etc., on EMUI 9.X ramdisk is included in the recovery_ramdisk.img, so we have only kernel.img and recovery_ramdisk.img .
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] huuhaa_tm:
My bad, should have earlier told to unzip file update_sd.zip to get UPDATE.APP file from there. After extracting that there's recovery_ramdisk.img - this if his current copy of UPDATE.APP is corrupted and can't be extracted and he downloads rom for his device at androidhost.ru or elsewhere where available.

But better to you continue from here on, I don't have as much experence yet.
