HEy people! I just bought the LG KS20 phone. I have the 10c firmware. I have trited several apps such as SPB, M2D...blah, blah. None of them suit my need. I just need something basic like the HTC Home. Is there anyway i can get the HTC Home into my KS20? I cant really find a solution to this prob.
[General Topics] pcforce:
HTC Home and customizer for it is available and really do great job. Use search to find suitable version for your needs (there are several here on XDA with minor differences).

I installed this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v2-1.html#reviews

For some reason, i dont see the plugin, all i see is an empty Today screen. Any suggestions?
[General Topics] PauloJ5:
HTC home doesnt work on the LG. Use ultimate launcher.
[General Topics] pcforce:
I'm to dissagree cause i have no problem running it.

I would suggest to look for version available here (QVGA if there is such). It might be also a missing support software (like Flash Lite or Net Compact Framework)

*EDIT: try with this one

I managed to get it to work, using some xplod version by n2a. Anyways, i installed this app, VSPainter. I seem to be having some problem.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] woix:
Hello, guys! I have a question for you; I hope you could help me out with this, I've been looking over the web and couldn't find anything.

First some background.

Right after I bought my POCO F3, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the xiaomi.eu rom, I stayed there for months, but then I wanted to try some AOSP ROMs, so I flashed crDroid, it wasn't what I was looking for, so I switched to Pixel Experience, I was pretty happy with it but some banking apps didn't work even with Magisk and zygisk and all that stuff, so I tried to flash Pixel OS but their recovery didn't work for me, my last shot was Lineage OS, but it was similar to crDroid, long story short, I decided to go back to MIUI global.

I used the official MiFlash tool and flashed the latest release of MIUI global stable through fastboot.

My concern is the following, after flashing the original rom through fastboot with the option "clean_all" is the phone stays the same as before flashing all that stuff? If not, what should I do?

Somehow I feel like there is a huge mess in the internal memory and I just want to make sure that everything is formatted, cleaned and original, like it never had any custom rom installed before.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
If you chose clean all it will be like Brandon new, take note if you leave the bootloader un locked it will not pass google play store of certification, how lame right ,they want you to lock the bootloader, that's why I chose Arrow
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] woix:
I didn't now that, I just installed safetynet test and it fails the CTS profile match 😰

Can I just lock the bootloader again to go back to normal? I don't plan to keep messing around with custom roms again
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
Yes
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] woix:
Thanks bro, I'll do that 👍
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
You don't need to lock the BL.

Get Magisk, enable Zygisk, and use the Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" from GitHub. The Module did the job for me.

Might also work on Pixel Experience. ^^

I'm currently just using Stock MIUI 13.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] woix:
I already did that in pixel experience, but there was just one banking app that didn't want to work no matter what I try. I really wanted to stay in pixel experience but now that I'm back in MIUI 13 with poco launcher 4 it's not that bad either, at least I have Dolby Atmos, HDR and all that stuff.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Yeah because of Dolby Atmos and MIUI Camera I'm also staying on MIUI. ^^

BTW, just to really make sure, you used Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" on Pixel Experience, yes?

You can try deleting the folder "TWRP" if existent (some apps check for that folder, e.g. Mario Kart). You can also try hiding Magisk App (apps also check for that app).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] woix:
Yes, All of that. I followed this tutorial btw
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] emmanuelin14:
if you want the goodies of MIUI but also to pass safetynet without issues i suggest you to try "xiaomi eu"

they are based on the chinese rom which is ahead in terms of features and bugfixes (specially the beta) and have some optimizations to make the experience better
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Tried it.. it's oky... I like Google System Apps more. Call Recording Feature was nice. :v

But unfortunately, GSI's didn't work/boot with Xiaomi.eu (Generic System Images). I like to be able to use GSI's, to try out other new OSes from time to time, Dual Boot sorta. ^^
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcjero:
Hi,

I comiled a 5x kernel and created a DTB file for the Nexus. Problem is when I try to boot it from fastboot nothing happens. Screen goes immediately dark, looks like the tablet is powering off. No error in fastboot.

For now I'm testing a very basic DTB that should be able to print something on the screen. I use a very simple initramfs image. I think I applied the right parameters to build the image (I got them from a Linegae boot image)

I'm stuck and I don't see any way to debug that. It's a pitty because the Exynos 5250 is well supported in mainline now. See below the script I use to build the boot image.

#! /bin/sh

MKBOOTIMG="`dirname $0`/mkbootimg/mkbootimg.py"
MKBOOTIMG_ARGS="--header_version 0 --os_version 10.0.0 --os_patch_level 2022-05 --pagesize 0x00000800 --base 0x00000000 --kernel_offset 0x10008000 --ramdisk_offset 0x11000000 --second_offset 0x10f00000 --tags_offset 0x10000100 --cmdline buildvariant=userdebug"

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] MCLC:
Hi,

Trying to sideload Shamiko zip file (https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io/releases) on my Redmi Note 4x,. Using the latest version of TWRP from here : https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote4.html

Have tried various TWRP's - all giving the same error.

Have sideloaded Magisk and safety net just fine with previous TWRP's.

Any clue as to why i am having this error and how i can resolve it?

Thanks.

Can you share screenshot as I think treble projects are only stable on SD chipset.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Deleted member 12168841:
System lang is italian but should be easy to understand.

I found only a couple bugs so far in phhusson's GSI:

- in the launcher dragging apps from drawer to homescreen doesn't always work (just use another launcher)

- crashed once while searching in settings app

I use the tablet only for media consumption and some retrogaming, so there are probably other bugs i haven't noticed.

This is a generic guide, it won't include a "known issues" section since it largely depends on what GSI you choose.

I haven't tested this on the LTE version so i can't say for sure if mobile network works or not.

Unfortunately i don't have the time to make a custom ROM, test it and keep it updated here on the forum but maybe if there is enough interest someone will do it.

I hope other users will try to flash a GSI and share their experience here so we can gather some info on working/broken stuff, especially on the LTE model since i can't test that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ReubenMCSM:
Hello,

I'm sorry but what am I missing here?

I'm a little fustrated cause after hours and hours of headaches I got to the second to last step which involves tar-md5-script-tool

I simply put all the .img.lz4 files from AP and replace super & vbmeta files which the ones that I converted and try to run the batch.bat as instructed.

However nothing happens and this is what the program spits out.

On the tar tool xda forum it says that it convers .img files, not .img.lz4 . Are we supposed to extract all the .img files from inside the .lz4 files?

I appreciate the guide but there are a lot of missing details I had to fill in and figure out myself, like the fact that from step 4 to step 8 you need to use WSL or a Linux distro (using simg2img for Windows messes things up so please use the one from otatools inside a linux bash)

Also for people that are not familiar with linux you need to type "./" in front of directed commands ( in this case ./simg2img ./lpunpack ./lpmake)

I'm not a developer or a programmer, maybe you wrote this guide for people more inclined to that, but for me this was pretty hard.

Noob here, but I'm running the "simg2img super.img super.ext4.img" and nothing happens for 5 min and when I'm aborting I'm getting a "Error reading sparse file header".

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ReubenMCSM:
Are you using the Windows version of simg2img? If yes, use the one from otatools inside Windows Subsystem for Linux
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Deleted member 12168841:
I can confirm simg2img doesn't seem to work on Windows, i used WSL.

@ReubenMCSM i will update the guide with more details in the future but i don't have much time right now.

For you specific issue, try to use the attached tar-md5-script-tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] DanneSwe:
Great thanks! :)

What's the process with tar-md5-script-tool? Just moving the super.img to the folder and running the batch.bat didn't work the output file in the temp folder is 11 kb. Tried to change super.img to super.tar but no change.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ReubenMCSM:
Thanks for the tool, but unfortunately the output is the same, like the problem @DanneSwe hasView attachment 5642043
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Deleted member 12168841:
It looks like the batch.bat script from the tar md5 tool linked in the guide is a bit different from the one i used. I will update the guide.

Try again with the version i attached in the post above.

- Extract the AP tar md5 from official rom

View attachment 5642743

- Copy all .img.lz4 files in the tar-md5-script-tool folder

View attachment 5642747

- Replace super.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 (step 13)

- Launch batch.bat, output should look like this

View attachment 5642751

- You will find AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5 in temp-folder

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] DanneSwe:
What GSI did you pick and could you upload the files you flashed? :)

Successfully flashed GSI with magisk on my T220 following the OP's procedure. MTP is not working as the OP said. However, I can use my flash drive so I don't really miss MTP.

I chose "system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz" for GSI. "Treble Info" app can tell you what image would be compatible with your device.

If you want to use a different launcher like Nova instead of the default one, change the "Smallest width" setting from 600 to 598 in Developer options to hide the annoying taskbar.

AOSP-Mods and "Project Themer - Android 12+" work fine for me.

Here is my build for my device SM-T220 (SM-T220_EUX_T220XXU1AVE1):

GSI: system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz

Custom AP: https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/7045394/AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5

Custom AP with Magisk patch: https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/7045714/magisk_patched-25101_cauJQ.tar

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] nirogu325:
No, your base is not the problem. That particular version of A12 CherishOS uses PHH v415 which has issues booting for our devices. Only PHH v414 or v416 GSIs like this one boot for us (it works for VJ2 firmware, tested it myself). Sadly I don't see any other developer releasing an A12 v416 based GSI like the one I linked to so yes, that's what we have for now until the newer A13 GSIs pick up the v416 patches hopefully.
