I could just be going crazy, but it seems to me that I see more splash screens since installing the March update?

It doesn't feel like the apps are starting slower though.

Maybe the default splash screen visual was just tweaked or something?

Anyone else seeing this?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Works for me. 🙃
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Steve0007:
Does it work because you use Nova launcher? Does it wok with Oneplus launcher also?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
I spoke too soon. I was using a patched version of Swift Installer that allowed me to get past the setup process. The official play store version gives an a12 incompatibility message. My bad guys. 😅

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] enettrek:
I'm looking at getting a new phone from Verizon and I use the Skvalex call recording app to record all my company calls. Unfortunately the only way to use the good recording quality where it records both sides from the in/out on the routing table on any of the latest android OS fw is to have root kernel access. Can this phone currently be rooted with latest OTA from Verizon if I purchase this phone ?

If not, can someone point me in the direction of one of the phones Verizon sells (or one I can get at Best Buy/Amazon) at a reasonable price? It's been a long time since I rooted a phone as I have had the same Moto Z Force from Verizon for about 4 years now. Great phone just has issues with battery life after a year and data storage is not big enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] 3mel:
Verizon is to my knowledge the worst company to buy from if you want to root a device.

then on top of that there's the (apparent) deal Samsung agreed with US carriers, no Samsung phones for the US and Canadian markets have unlockable bootloaders. only official Samsung firmware images can flashed. T-Mobile will let you unlock the bootloader when you've paid for the phone, AT&T too... Verizon never will!

I'd say buy an imported 4G version the SM-G780G seeing as 5G on Verizon is mmwave (only Samsung's made for Verizon even support that). but check with Verizon first if they'll let use it. I've heard some weird things about phones needing to approved to use on some carriers there.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] enettrek:
That really sucks. I always thought the non-branded / non carrier motorola phones could have their BL unlocked through motorola. I will look into the imported 4g version but I'm really wanting to take advantage of the 5g data speeds. I was just hoping for a root method to do some tweaking and unbloating to some of the files.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] 3mel:
AFAIK Motorola phones can be unlocked, it's just Samsung that's doing this and most people think it's to keep the carriers happy.

Samsung has ants up their ass over competing with apple so they probably made this agreement as extra incentive to get picked up by more carriers. that's a guess though.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] enettrek:
I'm leaning towards getting a pixel 6... direct from google. I'm not giving samsung any more of my money over them having their head so far up the carriers asses I can't tell where samsung ends and the carrier begins.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] FRQD75:
Hi all,

as an experienced Linux user I wonder, how much I can reuse between ROMs?

For my understanding, all the binaries are compiled according a technology like ARM, X86, etc.

Additionally, the kernel is buid in a way, that it supports the device the best, I guess. OR is even the kernel just a complete kernel with all options and modules?

..and the boot-rom of course, as it contains a kernel.

So from that point of view, the only difference between an ARM compiled LOS 17.1 for Samsung, Honor or xiaomei is the boot-rom, the kernel and the kernel modules, right?

Based on that asumption, it should be possible, to just have ONE LOS ROM and then exchange the boot-rom + kernel+modules per device and that's all?

Best regards

There are colleagues who have asked me how to deactivate the Google feed window that we have on the left of the home screen, for those who want to deactivate it, they must follow the following steps.

We get into the application drawer, we go to the Google application. Click on the application and a window opens, click on application information and click on disable the application.

Now we will no longer have the Google feed window on the left of the home screen.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] jackowy:

[Realme GT 2 Pro] prg.spb:
Thank you. This is the only reasonable answer, and it appears to be easy in fact. Unfortunately, the regular method is hidden/eliminated by the developers, i.e. there is no item to control it in the Home Screen settings. I have seen so many opinions, from "impossible" to sophisticated ways using Android Debug Bridge.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] HurstiHerston:
Good tip, works like a charm. I'm not a fan of Assistant or most other bloatware either, so good riddance. I just wish these products gave more control to the user, or even retained the same options to enable/disable things as the older versions.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] nikorzi:
Hy guys,

i have miui 12.5.5.0 RKIEUXM on mi11 lite 5g but when i search new versions it says there is no update for the phone. So i tried to download the V13.0.4.0.SKIEUXM from official site in order to install it manually. I go in the settings to choose the package to install the update but it can't verify the package and it can't update the phone.

I'm stucked with the 12.5.5.0!!!

What can i do?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] rayman95:
or stay on 12.5.5..or flash with fastboot...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sn0uts:
Not sure what official site you're referring to but I have used the following without issue. Double check the file sizes/MD5s are the same in case your original download was cut short or something.

XM Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

If still not working, it's possible it may require you to have the previous update installed before it will allow the newest. Try installing 12.5.7 first - and if it doesn't allow that then 12.5.6...

XM Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

XM Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

One issue I've personally encountered is that the update dialogue stops showing the option to install from local package. If you see this then select the updater settings from the Recents and clear data then try again.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] nikorzi:
Thanks sn0uts, 2 days ago i did exactly as you explained: choosing that web site and starting to manually updating into 12.5.6, 12.5.7 and then 13.0.4.

Now the phone is up to date, i still don't know why i've encountered this problem but i have a solution also for future.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] zgfg:
Actually, with the app:

MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play

MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.

play.google.com

searching through Xiaomi Firmware Updater is easier. The app checks your phone model, your current firmware and points you directly to download your OTA from Xiaomi Firmware Updater.

If you don't want the offered OTA, you can search for the other suitable firmwares for your phone

Even more, it shows you Xiaomi.eu Weekly and Stable ROMs, and TWRP (if applicable)

You can also manually change the phone model and search for another Xiaomi phone

Anyway, it makes searching easier and error-free (newbie, by looking at Xiaomi Firmware Updater, may easily pick a wrong firmware, resulting by bricking his phone)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sn0uts:
It does look very useful. However if I wasn't reading a recommendation on XDA and only saw it in the Play Store I might not trust an app with this from the look of it. If it's trustworthy then great.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] zgfg:
Actually, they have a useful TG news. Too many things, not everything for everybody but eg, useful info about roadmaps which phones will receive further updates to newer MIUI and Android versions, new phones, new ear buds, etc

If using Xiaomi.eu ROMs, you will usually see a (correct!) changelog for the upcoming weekly an hour or more earlier than posted to Xiaomi.eu forum
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] SuperGeo9:
I had the same problem and FINALLY I CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION. so... I've downloaded the ROM for V12.5.7.0 and installed it through the Updater app on the phone. After that, you can download the V13.0.4.0 and install it as normal.

I made an account just to help you guys because I was really annoyed that I couldn't update and probably you feel the same way.

Good luck and enjoy your mi11 lite :P

P.S. my battery went ****ty on the V12.5.5.0, idk about you but I had to recharge it often...hopefully it's not a hardware problem...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] hehebuhehe:
What exactly do you mean by "Updater app on the phone"? I am stuck on 12.5.5.0 as well and idk what to do with it. I assume the rom you've downloaded was from MIUI Updates Tracker topic on this board? If so, which one, the Fastboot or the Recovery?

Nevermind, figured it out. Downloaded "MIUI Downloader" app from Google Play, downloaded 1 version higher than ive had. Then, I went to settings -> About phone, clicked version, clicked a few times version logo and additional settings have been enabled. Then Ive clicked the button in top right corner and selected downloaded package. The phone accepted it and installed it. Then I've proceeded with other higher versions.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] SuperGeo9:
Sorry for the late reply. My solution was slightly different.

I downloaded the recovery rom (so you can install it from the phone) from a website with original miui roms, placed it in the internal storage, created a folder "downloaded_rom" and then I did exactly like you (settings>about phone>clicked the 3 dots>choose update package).

After that I downloaded the latest rom from c.mi.com and that was it.

I noticed that my problem with the battery was caused by the 12.5.5 rom. Now it's good as new.

I'm glad my post helped you and hopefully will help others as well. Take care!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] fajabird:
My phone (bought in germany, EEA-rom) was stuck at "V12.5.6.0.RKIEUXM Enhanced" since the only update I received shortly after bying in December 2021. I could resolve the issue as follows:

In the update tracker thread I verified my build version which was EEA (European) in my case. First I tried to download and install v13.0.4 directly which failed (cannot verify stable update bla bla bla). Then I tried to download and install the version that was closest to mine -> V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM which I successfully could flash. Directly after booting into 12.5.7 I was offered another update to v13.0.4.

Did anyone have similar issues: phone would not update to latest available version? What could be the reason? Regions and Update schedules? But were now in april 2022 and my phone was still not showing any updates.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] brokey:
I am in Australia and have downloaded the latest firmware for the phone, Renoir, but I can't update it because the option to "choose update package" isn't available on my phone...

I downloaded the update as I am getting the problem of not being able to download the package via my phone...keep getting the error that "something went wrong. Wait a minute or two and try again". This is frustrating 😡

I discovered the fix to my problem... If you can't see the option of selecting a package to update under the 3 dots, click on MIUI logo in the updater several times till you see a message that tells you more features have been enabled.

cheers

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] setttler:
Didn't read the whole discussion but noticed fastboot and xiaomi.eu options...those are the best IMHO.

xiaomi.eu updates renoir (weekly or stable) with fastboot option / scripts.

There are also fastboot recoveries (not the same as xiaomi.eu fastboot ROMs, but in case something goes wrong this can help out of bad situation) and regular update ROMs on MIUI tracker just make sure to pick the correct phone/ROM version: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/

I have been wondering this for a while why no custom rom supports 33W fast charging. Anyone with a technical know-how, feel free to chime in.

What exactly prevents the custom roms from utilizing the full extent of your charger? There must be some reason. It's been bugging me.

And how does one go about making a fast charging magisk module? The existing ones only support 15W charging.

If you charge, does the text in the bottom of the lockscreen says "Turbo charging"?

Yes, it says charging rapidly even if it's not charging at 33W. Most ROMs do like 2000-2500 mA speed, best I get is 3000 mA with magisk module.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] hturbulence:
I have a Galaxy Tab A (SM-P580) with 16GB of storage. Device Maintenance > Storage says I'm using 14.8GB of storage, but if I add up the User Data categories (documents, apps, etc.), it's less than 4GB. How do I determine what's using all the unaccounted for storage? I wiped the cache partition, thinking the used storage might change a little, but it didn't. I'm on Android 8.1. Does Oreo duplicate the system partition to do seamless updates as I've read other devices do?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CharleySimmons:
This is different than the known issue of screen flickering while off.

Today (3/20/2022) my 6pro screen started flickering, and half the side was almost too dim to read. The odd thing - the top left notification area over to the camera notch was not affected. Given that this one stretch is unaffected, I'm wondering if this is some sort of software bug.

I factory reset the device after the video, and the flickering was more tolerable - ie the entire screen other than the top left notification area would flicker, but it was a much lighter flicker and no longer causing half the screen to go super dim. I tried disabling adaptive brightness, but this did not resolve the issue either.

I'm holding out hope that the March update will fix, but curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
this looks like a hardware issue.

To be sure, use the AFT (Google's Flash Tool) and choose wipe and force flash partitions (by hitting the pencil on the flash page). this is the only way you'll know for sure the device is defective (unless it has been dropped etc).

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CharleySimmons:
Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately the phone has now become completely unusable. I can no longer see the majority of the screen - and can only see a small portion of the top left corner.

After about an hour of chat support with goole fi (and being bounced around between google fi support and google store support) I was finally able to order a replacement device.

I have pixel pass, which includes preferred care - while that was advertised as "Hassle-free phone repairs, replacements, and more." based on my experience of being transferred to 4 different people only to end up in the same dept. that I started at, it is anything but "hassle-free". Hopefully the rest of the process will be easier.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
yeah that flickering was not at the OS or display profile level, but deeper.

You didn't drop your device right? So it's a standard warranty claim - and that shouldn't include any out of pocket expenses for you ($29 or $129 exchange fee ect).

Never had preferred care... but if it falls under the regular warranty claims, and you have Preferred Care, can they just send you another device? (without any cost to you)?

I can just imagine now, trying to get any of this information, straight, from Google Support. My head would spin (;
