[General Questions and Answers] LittlePro:
Greets,

I am having a JBL MD 100W PowerUp Charging Bluetooth Speaker. It has muddy noise. I want to flash it afresh to the latest firmware but I could not find any link & way. All I see is a youtube video which suggests to use JBL Portable android app to check for & update to the latest firmware if available. I see there is a micro usb port on its backside which has the SERVICE label but could not find anyway to use it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Sandman127:
Makes 2 of us looking I have the same issue would greatly appreciate any help on this
[General Questions and Answers] whitesmaverick:
You can try contacting JBL customer support for guidance on how to access and update the firmware through the micro USB service port on your MD 100W speaker. They should be able to provide specific instructions or direct you to the right resources.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] HIPOKAMPing:
Hello,

I have an S5 (kccat6).

After installing TWRP with ODIN, do I also need to install superSU to fully use TWRP? Or can I do without the root mode without problems?

Thanks for your advice.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] bmwdroid:
No.

TWRP just replaces stock recovery to be used instead.

SU or nowadays Magisk gives root privileges but they need TWRP to flash them.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] HIPOKAMPing:
So I can make a full backup of my unrooted android system with TWRP, and restore it as well without any problem ?

Rooting is not mandatory for that ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] bmwdroid:
Backup yes, restoring can't be guaranteed although I never had a problem with that.

No. TWRP doesn't care
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] HIPOKAMPing:
Great, I prefer to keep it unrooted.

Especially since I hardly do anything with it. Just a ghost system for security and that's it.

Thanks a lot for your help, bmwdroid. ;-)
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] HIPOKAMPing:
It works, restoration included. (y) Without rooting. I apparently have no problem.

Thanks, I'll see the next step to install LineageOS maybe.

Have a nice weekend. :)

Magic 4 Pro vs Huawei P50 PRO

Which one do you like?
[Honor Magic4 Pro] camataru10:
I like more the picture take it with Magic 4 pro.

Does anyone know, for Magic 4 pro, on the camera, in the "portrait" mode, in the "night" mode and in the "high resolution" mode, why the photo is only accessible in 4:3 format and not in full screen, how is it in the other modes? I haven't encountered anything like this on the phones I've had. Can something be done to always display in full screen? Thanks.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] zolaisugly:
What difference does it make?

Personally I can't see what the difference is.🤷‍♂️
[Honor Magic4 Pro] camataru10:
For me is a big difference to see one photo on full display versus 4:3.

I had many phones and they all had this setting, to be able to take pictures with the resolution on the whole screen, not on the 4:3 format.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] camataru10:
Do you think it is possible in the next updates for the Magic 4 pro, on the camera, in "portrait" mode, in "night" mode, in "aperture" mode and in "high resolution" mode, the aspect ratio will be accessible and on full screen, not only in 4:3 format? Thanks.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] camataru10:
I'm used to seeing the photo only on full screen, not to double-click to see it full, and when I put it on the computer to see it full, not in 4:3 format.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] camataru10:
Please, if anyone can help me!

I noticed that after the last updates, on 6.00.172, the photos it seems to look worse.

I am disapointed how are the pictures in portret mode. It looks very bad compare with Huawei p40 pro, my last phone. The photo are a little blurry, I don't like it at all!

Does anyone know if, in the future, in "portrait mode" , "night mode" and "high resolution mode", it will be possible to make photos accessible in full screen format, not in 4:3?

I am about to give up on this phone precisely because of these problems.

Can something be done to always display in full screen?

For me, it's the bigest problem, the photo's quality with portret mode !!!!

Otherwise, I am satisfied with the phone, but the photo's on the portret mode are not ok.

How are the pictures in portrait mode for you?

Are you satisfied?

Thanks.

Happy new Year!
[Honor Magic4 Pro] nico97470:
I personally think that we have to wait for Magic os 7.0 to see if there are any improvements or not. Regarding the portrait mode, it could be better indeed.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] hashtowent:
Got the same blurry issue on .180

In pro mode it is much worse compared to normal mode in a well lit room. Ss and ISO are set to auto.

What should I do?

Clear cache didn't help.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] camataru10:
Too bad for this phone!

It's a very good phone, but, I bought it for photos quality and it has disappointed me.

It looks to be a phone camera, i was thinking so, but in the portret mode, no, no at all!

Huawei P40 pro was better!

Otherwise, I am very satisfied with everything on this phone, battery life, signal, display, selfie, etc...but the main camera could be better for sure!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:

Microsoft has discontinued #WindowsDeviceRecoveryTools

Until last week it still worked, but it's been 4 days since I've been trying to use WindowsDeviceRecoveryTool (version 3.14.07501) and it wasn't opening properly. Even doing the repair, the program did not work again.

So when trying to reinstall and now it doesn't install. (see Print)View attachment 5638945

I went to the official website to re-download the installer and came across this.

When you click Download the Windows Device Recovery Tool. You are redirected to a page where you should download it, but instead of downloading the file, the page displays the following information:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

<Error>

</Error>

Finally, I suppose that even without saying anything, Microsoft took advantage of the fact that it was going to discontinue #InternetExplorer11, and disabled WDRT.

>>PT-BR

A Microsoft descontinuou o #WindowsDeviceRecoveryTools

Até semana passada ele ainda funcionava, mas já tem 4 dias que eu tenho tentado usar o WindowsDeviceRecoveryTool (versão 3.14.07501) e ele não estava abrindo corretamente. Mesmo fazendo a reparação, o programa nao voltava a funcionar.

Então ao tentar reinstalar e agora não instala. (ver Print)

Fui ao site oficial baixar novamente o instalador e me deparei com isso.

Quando você clica em Download the Windows Device Recovery Tool. Você é redirecionado para uma página onde deveria fazer o download, mas no lugar de baixar o arquivo, a página apresenta a seguinte informação:

</Error>

Por fim, suponho que mesmo sem dizer nada, a Microsoft aproveitou que ia descontinuar o #InternetExplorer11, e desativou o WDRT.

[General Questions and Answers] taiBsu:
Hi people,

I'm looking forward to buying a Galaxy XCover 5 but I really want to avoid all the Samsung bloatware stuff.

For now, I didn't find any single custom or AOSP ROM for it.

Did I miss something?

Also, I realized that this smartphone isn't in the Samsung topics list yet.

Best, taiBsu
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do a Google search for:

"Custom ROMs for (the specific model number of the device)"

If that doesn't find anything then there is nothing for that device.

Use this same search for for every device that you want to investigate, just use the model number for each device when you search.

Another thing you may want to investigate. Do a Google search for:

"TWRP for (the specific model number of the device)"

If that doesn't find anything then there is no TWRP for that device, which means there are probably no ROMs for that device either because it requires TWRP to flash custom ROMs.

Anytime you are interested in a device and you want to see if anything is available for it, do these exact searches and it will find if anything is available for that device.
[General Questions and Answers] taiBsu:
Hi Droidriven,

thanks for your reply. However, when I wrote "I didn't find" that meant that this was the result of following exactly the steps you described. It's not that I was just too lazy to ask Google, more of asking specifically in the XDA community for potential less popular or unofficial ROMs that might not be found by simply googling them. Also, it might have been possible that some devs are at the moment working on a G525F version of some custom Android.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I was just saying that if those searches haven't found anything, that is a pretty good indicator that there is nothing to find.
[General Questions and Answers] droadrivenisapos:
I literally registered just to say how much of an absolute waste of time you are. If you're not going to help beyond not reading people's posts where they've said they've looked for something and just by default go to tell them to google it because you don't know it, then stop wasting all of our time and just delete your account. Your ego is atrocious for a forum troll. Go touch some grass.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It wasn't an "I don't know" reply. It was an "if you want to find ROMs for your device, this is how you do it" reply, because that is exactly what they needed to do to see "IF"(keyword, IF) there are any ROMs for their device, because, IF there are ROMs for their device, the search I suggested would find it/them, if it doesn't find anything then there is nothing, which answers their question pretty directly. Yes, they said they already "searched" but how am I to know whether or not they did proper and valid searches? How do I know if they searched specifically by model number or not, since they didn't state what searches they had done or how thoroughly they had done it? What if the searching they had done was vague and non specific? What if, after potentially vaguely and non specifically searching and finding nothing, they came here to ask? If their searches were vague and non specific, then, my reply would have helped them refine their searches specific to their device, if anything exists for the device? There are more layers to the scenario than you realize from the outside looking in.

My reply told them everything they needed to know in order to find/not find what they were looking for. It was also to indirectly say "if you've already done those searches and didn't find anything, then that is a pretty good indicator that there is nothing for your device". Given that they already did those searches and didn't find anything, that means that coming here and asking was the ACTUAL "waste of time". The only time I wasted was to respond to a question that they had already answered for themselves when their searches didn't find anything, whether they knew it or not. Now, you've wasted time debating a reply that was actually a valid answer, you wasted even more time by registering just to do that. Your reply is how you feel about it, but, in reality, what you have had to say about it is completely irrelevant.

I'm assuming that you think a valid answer would have only and expressly been to post a ROM for them, a ROM that doesn't exist? Are you the type that thinks I should just give them a fish that doesn't exist rather than teaching them to fish for themselves to see if the fish they are looking for exists or not? Exactly how was I supposed to reply to a post when the answer they are looking for doesn't exist? You call my post "trolling" even though it told them exactly what they needed to know in order to find a valid answer, if the answer exists. This actually makes you and your reply the "troll", as you call it.

Have a nice day.

Minor news:

Managed to get Lineage OS 20 GSI by AndyYan on the phone by modifying original fimware AP file.

However right off the bat there were two issues -

1/ after phone went to sleep by hitting the power button once to lock it the screen stops reacting.

Luckily the battery is replaceable :)

2/ it did not even ask to unlock the SIM card

Right now I am trying to de-bloat the original firmware a bit for daily usage. Still don't like it.

That said there are some resources out there

- Samsung provides official kernel for Android 13

- you can find twrp for A21s which also has Exynos 850 - would be nice if someone tested it
[General Questions and Answers] anubhait:
Got custom kernel and Lineage GSI into one ROM. (lot's of work on that samsung malicious compliance "open-source" kernel). Flashed to the phone but...

Stuck on the "This phone is running unauthorized software." at the moment.

Not sure where the issue is. Wheter with the kernel I managed to prepare of with some security mechanism.

Probably need to disable proca or something. Maybe time to give up for now.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The "unauthorized software" thing is usually because your running custom/unofficial software on a device that has a locked bootloader, the bootloader wants to see the software that it is "supposed" to have.
[General Questions and Answers] anubhait:
Nope, bootloader is properly unlocked. I made double sure about that.

I used to have S10 and that screen was pretty standard.

Reading some posts on that it seems I might have to downgrade firmware to some older version.

Unless I got the kernel wrong.

I remember that back in the day ivan meyer or someone of similar nick used to make LOS for it and always there was specific version of firmware needed. Not the newest one.

I tried with the newest one sofar while the kernel source from samsung is probably kind of late 2022-ish.

Perhaps I will try with older firmware later this week.
[General Questions and Answers] anubhait:
Ended up just rooting with magisk and debloating since I needed to start using the phone.

Battery life for my low usage is a week now.

No issues sofar.
[General Questions and Answers] yorkshiresprite:
(Apologies if this is hijacking the thread - it seems to be the only place mentioning the xcover5 and I did originally come here looking for ROMs)

My new xcover 5 arrived today, but I can't get through the setup - it goes through several screens then prompts for a Microsoft Business Account - which I don't have. The only option from there is Sign-in or Reset Device. Samsung have said to return it to the seller, although am not sure how much their chat-support understood my problem. None of the setup guides / marketing material mention needing a Microsoft Business Account... so I wonder whether I've been sent a phone that's been previously used and somehow locked down to a big company's settings - and if so whether I can reflash/splat it.
[General Questions and Answers] anubhait:
It might be safer to just return it because of warranty laws..don't know how that works where you are.

But if you want to at least try then:

[General Questions and Answers] throwaway421:
I couldn't have said it any better
[General Questions and Answers] throwaway421:
anyway +1 for the XCover 5. although I think it would be a better idea to focus on the XCover Pro and XCover 6 pro as they are better phones than XCover 5 and XCover 7 respectively
[General Questions and Answers] BenutzerEnte:
You are definetly right that the XCover 6 Pro is a lot better spec-wise than the XCover 5 and 7. But unfortunatly it's also the most expensive XCover Device, and the XCover 5 is the last relativly compact phone in the series.

I'd love to try Lineage on my XCover 5 with the hope that it might run a bit faster

😅

Instead of using the Lineage OS 20 GSI by AndyYan wouldn't it make sense to just use the Unofficial Custom Rom for the Galaxy A21? Both phones run with the same chipset after all... But its probably not that simple, but nobody has tried it and maybe it works

2. X1 Opera v2141 WWE

3. X1 original dialer in case you pick the one w/ blackstone one

4. HTC task manager. Install and soft-reset

5. SDConfig.zip - UC script example for auto-installation after H-reset. And example script to activate Chinese/Japanese for 1.07 or after. Place the txt file in yr SD root. Check this tool out too! See below for more detail.

6. Asian support.zip. For Chinese and Japanese support if you don't want to deal w/ UC. Extract to yr ppc and open it w/ file explorer.

7. Other SIP for CE star: Japanese, Zhuyin注音 ,ChangJei, pinyin

How to use my SDConfig package:

1. Extract the zip file to the root of yr micro-SD card and you
should have a directory structure w/ SDConfig.txt under "\Storage Card":

\Storage Card
|
|---UC--|
|---apps (folder)
|---config (folder)
|---License (folder)
|---panel (folder)
|---shortcut (folder)

2. Myinfo.reg.xml is for personal information Name,
email that can be generate easily w/ the tool I suggest above.

3. Edit SDConfig.txt to suite your need for what to install
after hard-reset. And put the needed files in corresponding folders.Remove the line:
[U][B]"XML: \Storage Card\UC\config\Chinese.reg.xml" [/B][/U]
if you don't need Chinese/Japanese support

4. My supplied SDConfig.txt example will:
a. add back the Xpanel w/ panels apps I want
b. install Google map, opera ...etc
c. Copy/move shortcut for start menu, and opera's config
to use ramdisk as cache and max for 9 tabs instead of 3
d. Copy the license file [U][B](NOT INCLUDED)[/B][/U] for Resco Apps
(Explorer, picture viewer ..etc), Core player, Gamin Mobile
XT ... etc

Bug list / Tricks and Custom Settings

Bug list:

1. TF3D & Blackstone dialpad doesn't support landscape (since HD doesn't support landscape either...)

Some tricks & setting you may want to play around:

1. For all WM rom, SIP change may become slow after lots of software installed. Here is the solution that works by re-import the CLSID in registry.

2. Large Title bar:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeTitleBar]

"Enable"=dword:1

3. Large Start Menu

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\EnlargeMenu]

"Enable"=dword:1

4. Volume default page (1:Ring / 0:System)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay]

"DefaultPage"=dword:1

5. Ramdisk Size:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RamDisk]

"Size"=16

Hidden Mount (so that it wouldn't appear in cab install but any program still can point to it and use it):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\RamDisk]

"MountHidden"=dword:1

6. Opera is NOT in the rom and TF3D's internet tab is pointing at "\Windows\OperaL.exe". If you are not going to install Opera and wish to use PIE. Make a copy of "iexplore.exe" and rename it as "OperaL.exe" under \Windows.

8. In case you hate the Voicecommand from 1.07 or want to play around w/ the wired headset button, remove or edit:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6179E0CF-5B6D-469b-8F16-29E81B2EAE6E}]
