[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSeven:
Kinda confused and need some clarification .

So, I successfully installed LIneageOS 17.1 for my HTC One M8 by following the guide found on LineageOSs wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/m8/install ("Installing LineageOS from Recovery - Build a LineageOS installation package.")

But did I really have to do it from scratch (build)? Does LineageOS not offer a ready to go installation zip for this phone ?

I'm confused because the instructions on another OS website (DivestOS) simply call for a ADB Sideload of a zipfile you download from their site: ("9. Choose apply update, then via sideload and $ adb sideload divested-version-date-dos-device.zip")

I'm really confused as to what a "build"/"building" actually is and the instrctuions on the DivestOS Installation page: (https://divestos.org/index.php?page=bootloader)

Can someone please help me understand.

Thank you,
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkewedZeppelin:
DivestOS is my project.

You just download and install it, the same you would LineageOS.

You can optionally compile it yourself if you want to make changes to how it works.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSeven:
Hey thank you for your work and your reply.

I installed it successfully.

Where do I go for some troubleshooting ?

(The screen/desktop starts to slowly vertically shift down once I start using the camera app, though corrects itself after I lock then unlock the phone).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkewedZeppelin:
That is a known issue, you can try another camera app.
[G1 Android Development] blues:
Just ask a basic question here:

in the source tree: msm\msm\arch\arm\mach-msm\smd.c

There is a method smd_open() and other smd_xxx methods.

Am I able to call them from a native application? Or can I make a driver to call them, then have java to read/write my char dirver as a file?

If I get the tool chain, can I compile and link to this method? I guess I only have the header file here, how to link? I am new the linux...

[OnePlus 9RT] PsyCLown89:
Hey all,

So coming from MIUI, the gallery kinda sucks on OnePlus. I'd like to change the gallery to Google Photos as the default gallery app - how do I do this though?

Under default apps, there is nothing for gallery to allow me to change it and I cannot find any option under settings.

Is it possible to do this?
[OnePlus 9RT] Oliwier1990:
yes u can flash miui gallery with magisk root
[OnePlus 9RT] PsyCLown89:
Nah, I do not want to root and use Magisk.

It is not the end of the world, will just keep using Google Photos for now.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drumrintheline:
First off I am not a novice user so you may use the terminology accepted as the norm.

My problem is that I can't flash a custom ROM to my Sprint Diamond. I tried 3 times and got errors all three times. I used the unlocker and when I flash the ROMs it shows the 3 color screen and it says security unlocked on the top of the screen. Please help me install the juicy ROM because I hear it greatly improves the Diamond experience.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:

[Asus Zenfone Max M2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] pinket:
Hi dev,

Thank you for maintaining this ROM, I hope you will stick with it for a while.

I come from Havoc-OS 2.9 which in my opinion is still the most customizable rom ever made.

Every version since then has been a downgrade. But I digress.

So far I am very happy with the Evolution X.

I found a few quirks here and there but nothing major and they were fixable.

However I have found one major bug.

When I go to the Evolve menu and then to the lockscreen setting, the whole settings app crashes.

In other words, I can't change my lockscreen.

I hope it can be fixed, but I can live without changing the lockscreen.

Again, thanks for maintaining this great and so far stable rom.

Greetings,

Mike

[Realme XT Questions & Answers] atletek:
Proximity sensor is working strange. Sometimes it's working fine and the screen is closed during the call when phone is near ear.

Sometimes, the screen don't goes off when the phone is near ear and sometimes during call the screen goes on.

Is this fixed in any of alternative ROMs? As this is really annoying, as you clik on screen with your face...

Before I have Huawei and Redmi and was working fine...
[Realme XT Questions & Answers] official_pro:
Realme uses in display proximity sensor which is much more difficult to implement in custom rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asiandelight:
I like TP function that they could connect to monitor out for presentation, etc..

But would it be better if TP could use TV-Out cable as a TV-In and record some TV programs, and convert into FLV or MPG formats ?

Anyone could develop this idea?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Ayle:
I don't think it has the hosrpower to do that.... Outputting is one thing but receiving a signal and encoding on the fly... Naaaah not gonna happen...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ice_coffee:
However a small device that plugged into the USB, and essentially streamed video direct to the built ijn memory card would be possible, but somebody would have to create it !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
I don't think it can be done, for the same reason you can't just "convert" a TV-out on a PC video card to TV-in. It requires different hardware, which isn't there. That's why you need to buy a video capture card.

Well, you could just point your camera at a TV showing the video source...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ice_coffee:
You mis-understand, the device I have in mind IS a video capture card, with USB host facillities, allowing it to use the phone as a USB hard drive to store it's video on, this video could then be played back on the phone !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
Yes, I think that's a valid idea, I was actually replying to asiandelight's post, because he mentions the TV-out cable.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
Hi,

I never created a mi account for my phone and the mi account app doesn´t work on my Poco X3 Pro (could probably get it to work with a factory reset), but I also see that Xiaomi are generally not letting people unblock the bootloader, presenting them with various errors, delays, rejections and total lack of customer support in this regard.

I found that Mediatek devices could be unlocked with a MTK bootloader tool, but the Poco X3 Pro has a Snapdragon chipset.

Anybody aware of a way to do this without a mi account?

Best regards,

Frederik

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
That´s not really a way to unlock without a mi account.

The sms verification wit mi unlock tool doesn´t work and the mi account on my phone doesn´t work. So I can´t login to the mi unlock tool.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
There is no verification sms for Mi Unlock since you are supposed to have an account.

Reset your phone and create an account.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
Now I got the mi account to work on my phone by uninstalling and re-installing a lot of mi software with ADB.

But now I can´t connect to fastboot. I have installed the drivers coming with the Mi Unlock and they appear as "Poco X3 Pro" in device manager after reboot of the phone, if I reconnect the phone and select file transfer, then it appears as "ADB Interface" in device manager.

I can´t get it to apper as Android Bootloader, which I understand is requiered?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
Oh, I also had to install the drivers again when it´s in fastboot mode..... Now I can connect.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
Actually, the first time you run Mi Unlock on the computer, there is SMS verification or QR code. You can read about other people who have issues with the SMS verification.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
You are confusing sign up and sign in.

Ok, whatever. Now I got to the waiting part and I´m trying to get through to their hotline to get the waiting time cancelled.

So now I´m trying China and global helpdesk.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
The waiting time is 168 hours in general, sometimes more sometimes less.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] thorin0815:
What's the point of bugging the hotline staff? They will only reply according to their work protocol anyway. Just wait and be happy that you can unlock the bootloader at all.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
Pls delete
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
I´m not interacting with hotline staff, I´m interacting with an organization and I don´t understand why this organization is bugging me.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
What's wrong if they set the waiting time? Some companies does not even let you unlock bootloader. I felt bugged if they don't let me unlock bootloader or similar cases, so can you help me complain to them? eg. Huawei & Apple

They can always say for security and confidential reasons.

They deal with unlock request on their server. Worst case, your waiting time can be 720~1440 hours.

It was already shorten

https://xdaforums.com/t/reduce-the-unlock-time-from-720-hours-to-less.3848792/
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fgschack:
It´s absolutely wrong that we don´t own what we buy, no matter who puts the limitations. I can understand it in terms of warranty, that they can´t provide warranty if I knowingly decide to use the phone against the terms of the warranty, great, that´s how it has to be. We have to be able to own what we buy and prevent others from using our stuff.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Xiaomi actually still has warranty coverage even if you unlock bootloader. Exclusion is that after bootloader unlocked, if you do something to the phone whether hardware or software, and the phone hard bricked.

We are actually using Xiaomi's server to unlock bootloader.

According to your logic, while the server belongs to Xiaomi (they paid for the server and designers), Xiaomi has to be able to own what they bought (the server) and prevent (or control) others from using our stuff.

Do you own Xiaomi's unlock bootloader server ?

[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] TferThomas:
For the past couple of weeks, my SIM Card has been inserted into a new OPPO Find X5 (Black, 256GB on-board storage, 8GB RAM, and Model CPH2037), which I received from OPPO (thank you for the OPPOrtunity!), as one of their 20 global OPPO Product Ambassadors. It has become my daily driver, and replaces my previous OPPO Find X3 Pro. The following are my views and opinion only.

In real life, I enjoy Smart Phone technology, and manage all of my online presence (including my twitter (more than 181,000 tweets so far), Instagram and LinkedIn accounts), directly from my Smart Phone.

I’ve broken down my OPPO Find X5 Product Review into shorter sections, which makes it either easier to read everything, or perhaps you may just jump to the topics that are important to you:

Summary

Build Quality and Design, and Overall Performance

Camera Performance and Other Performance Features

Best ColorOS Features and Battery Review

Conclusion (you are here)

Conclusion:

The OPPO Find X5 is a premium phone and for me a worthy successor to the Find X3 Pro. It looks different to its competitors by having an organically shaped camera housing which is not the normal rectangular slab. It feels sturdy, not bulky and sits nicely balanced, cradled in your hands for hours at a time.

I have been enjoying getting accustomed to the cameras’ performance, and now night time photography and videography is “a thing” for me. The Marisilicon X NPU and the AI takes a lot of guesswork out for me, and I can now point and shoot without much hesitation, knowing full well, the majority of photos will be of high quality, and of use to me for my social media posts.

I am now becoming accustomed to allowing my Find X5’s battery run down over a normal day, knowing a full charge is a Cup of Coffee and an Almond Croissant time away (with the 80W SUPERVOOC wall charger). Peace of mind, finally.

I thoroughly enjoyed my OPPO Find X3 Pro, and used it for the longest time of any smartphone I’ve owned, but I feel the OPPO Find X5’s fit and feel, finish, smooth performance and intelligent camera system (complete with standalone Marisilicon X NPU) will be my go-to smartphone for a whole lot longer.

Thank you to the OPPO Team and to the Members of the XDA Forums, for providing me this chance to present my real life review.

[G1 Android Development] humble:
alright guy's i have an idea and its going to take some of you super Dev's:D

now that we have gotten ROOT on our devices, is it possible for us(you guys)

to patch that loop hole, wile accessing it if we really have the need for it? putting our own password(each is custom)to protect the device though telnet? rather then goolge's plan to fix it(put the G1 on fort knocks lock down)

just thinking out loud... because i can see that this could be come a big security issues

EDIT: not now I'm not rushing (you guys are still working out the kinks) just wanna know if it possible?
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Yeah, google's updater code is open source. The fix is basically:

Replace their current updater with an updater that does not do a cert check.

Open the new update.zip file they send over the air and replace their new updater in the ZIP with an updater that ALSO does not do a cert check.

Update your phone with the tweaked update.

Alternatively, it may be possible to simply leave a suroot command lying around to guarantee root access. From what I've gathered, Google's update process of the /system directory does not wipe the system.img and start anew, it modifies it. I'll need to look into the code to verify this.

It's basically impossible for Google to close their root hole now, unless they forcibly apply updates.

I'll be working on this as soon as I can get my hands on the 30 patch.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Ah, I just realized since we have root access, we can simply delete the TMobile/Google cert so they don't have permission to apply patches to our phones, even forcibly. :)
[G1 Android Development] humble:
Thank you for the reply. just wanted to see if that was out in the atmosphere:D
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] TferThomas:
Recently there was a thread started here on the XDA Forums around “Where are the real life reviews?” and it got me thinking about my review for the OPPO Find X5, as I’m not an experienced tech reviewer, I don’t have millions of followers on YouTube, and I certainly don’t make a living from reviewing tech.

In real life, I enjoy Smart Phone technology, and manage all of my online presence (including my twitter (more than 181,000 tweets so far), Instagram and LinkedIn accounts), directly from my Smart Phone.

For the past couple of weeks, my SIM Card has been inserted into a new OPPO Find X5 (Black, 256GB on-board storage, 8GB RAM, and Model CPH2037), which I received from OPPO (thank you for the OPPOrtunity!), as one of their 20 global OPPO Product Ambassadors. It has become my daily driver, and replaces my previous OPPO Find X3 Pro. The following are my views and opinion only.

To start off with, my thoughts as an OPPO Product Ambassador can be read here.

For this review, I’m not going to go deep with all of the technical specifications for the OPPO Find X5, as this has been already done many times… but if you’re interested, please go HERE (thanks OPPO!)

Firstly the Australian price and some of its competitors (based on what is readily available in the Land Down Under):

OPPO Find X3 Pro is on runout at $1,499 *

OPPO Find X5 is on pre-sale (Australian release date is April 19, 2022) at AUD $1,399

Samsung S22 at AUD $1,349 ^

Google Pixel 6 Pro at AUD $1,249 *

* I purchased and used this device

^ I have not purchased, or used, this device

My OPPO Find X5 runs the Snapdragon 888, 2021’s Qualcomm Flagship Chip, paired with 8GB RAM, and is the same as my Find X3 Pro (but with 12GB RAM).

I’ve broken down my OPPO Find X5 Product Review into shorter sections, which makes it either easier to read everything, or perhaps you may just jump to the topics that are important to you:

Summary (you are here)
