[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tmjpwns:
Hello, I have a Tab A6 2016 (SM-T585) that won't boot with the error message "could not do normal boot, invalid kernel length"

This came out of the blue, as its completely stock.

It's not rooted so I have no clue if I can flash a new oem rom to it.

Recovery menu is not available so I can't try hard reset, only download mode is available.

I'd like to fix it so my kids and girlfriend has a spare (I currently use an old outdated lenovo)

Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue? Or do I just drop it off at the recycling centre?

[General Questions and Answers] Dodosaurus:
Hello together and thanks in advance for any answer! :)

So im kinda clueless on how to solve the following problem:

I got a Xiaomi Pad 5 (Global Version) and the original Xiaomi "Smart" Pen. I do a lot of handwritten notes in OneNote. And theres the problem, handwriting in the official OneNote App looks horrible. It seems like the pen correction is disabled in this app, but im not sure about that.

I tried every possible setting in OneNote, but none of them was helpful. So i tried to find a option in the developer settings to force every app to use the pen correction, but wasnt able to find one.

In every other app i tried, the handwriting looks just fine - even in the browser version of OneNote (which is a pain to use btw).

Maybe some of u got a good idea on how to solve this problem?

I know that this problem exists on every Pad 5. I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite before, the handwriting there was also kinda bad in OneNote, but by far not that horrible as i can remember.

I attached a sample picture. The upper line is written in the OneNote App, the lower line is written in the browser.

I have a keychain style projector and want to use it with my phone when I am traveling. Does anyone have a suggestion on cable to get?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SigmundDroid:
Oh, last time I tried that eons ago with an Samsung S3 and some cheap MHL-adapter from ebay - wanted to play Mario Kart in breaks at work... alas, didn't work but looking forward to any positive answers here...
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] cdames5:
I have an Onn brand USB-C (m) - HDMI (f) and so far it hasn't worked with any phone that I have had. OnePlus Nord N10 5G, Motorola G Stylus 5G, or Motorola G Power. For a sub $15 cable I honestly wasn't expecting much, but why make and sell something that doesn't work? Or am I just not using the cable in the right type of application?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SigmundDroid:
Well, later I learned that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III#Connectivity

Still, kept that cable for some years but didn't work on any phone I had...

Such thing could be really handy with my little beamer in the sleeping room (pretty tired of DLNA, SMB and USB-cards).

[General Questions and Answers] D4rkSh4dow:
Hello,

I wanted to know if there is any way to recover old data from a wiped phone (pictures, notes, Whatsapp data). My phone had a max incorrect attempt limit which would wipe the phone data if reached. I tried to use my backup that I had but Google is requiring my old PIN code for my lock screen. I can't remember the PIN, as far as Whatsapp is concerned, apparently the backup did not save to Google drive ( I think it may have been set to save locally). Any help would be appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I am trying to help where I just googled for what the answer might be and there seems to be a bunch of ways to recover deleted data (although I'm sure the level of success depends on how well it was deleted and wiped clean and overwritten multiple times with all zeroes, etc.).

Here are some of those hits which "might" help (you'll have to test them).

[Vivo X Fold] DanZan6:
I've had my ViVO fold for about 3 weeks now, and have everything working except I can't get the notification dot to appear in the corner of my text and Gmail widgets.

I have shuffled the bloatware onto the last page, and combined most of it into a bloatware folder, so I never see it, and implemented the phone entirely with Play store apps. I use native Google apps for Gmail and text, drive, docs, sheets, etc, and everything works fine except I have to access Gmail and messages, to see if I have any new emails or texts. I use T-Mobile and it worked fine from day one.

I have been reading XDA threads as a guest since I got my fold. I have seen the general discussion about vivo fold issues, but can't find it anymore.
[Vivo X Fold] JonasHS:
What asking you for?
[Vivo X Fold] DanZan6:
Mostly, I am reporting my experience of treating it like a regular Android phone, and ignoring the vivo stuff.

The only question I was asking was how to get the notification. On my Gmail and messages icon.
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
You should use just the stock message app which works fine with notifications and dual Colin display etc. no real advantage to using Google message and the scaling is way too huge. Does your Wi-Fi calling work? Mine is turned on but doesn’t work.

[XPERIA X1 General] jahd5000:
Hi! Ok im really disappointed by that ifference and im planning to buy X1(a) on best buy when it comes on Dec. 7

Anyways, i was wondering, considering both have the same hardware specs, if there would be any possibility to hack the X1 to get it to record at 30FPS VGA...
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
They dont have the same hardware, the CPU are different.

Lookie here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445059
[XPERIA X1 General] jahd5000:
well but almost exactly

i dont think that a little bit better processor (such negligible difference could lead us to say is the same, from what ive read in other sites) is preventing from 30fps v. recording.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
The difference isnt that one is better than the other. Its that one has that specific 30FPS VGA recording feature taken out to avoid patent infringement.
[XPERIA X1 General] jahd5000:
oh well.. then i guess thank for your answer!

can close thread if want to, mods ;)

btw, who has the 30FPS VGA recording patent? Nokia (N95)????

that so stupid to patent something like that
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
Its broadcomm's patent, they manufacture chips for phones too :\

and yea it does suck. You could just import the X1i though, its cheaper than the X1a and the only thing its missing is 850MHz, which in your area may or may not be perfectly acceptable.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ashwm:
We'll see when x1a comes out, if iphone can get video recording with 3rd party app.

It's very possible the awesome programmers on this forum will think of some ways.

*Fingers crossed*;)
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
the Video recording hardware of the X1 is crap anyway, so your not really missing out anything.

I have the X1i and the 30FPS VGA recording is just a joke in terms of quality and speed compared to a 2 year old N95 for example.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
is it necessary to flash stock rom before custom rom
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] JonasHS:
No.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] JonasHS:
Custom ROM is marked by Third-party developer and stock ROM is marked by manufacture.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
If you're on Stock ROM (MIUI) already, no.

If you're jumping from Custom ROM to another Custom ROM, then yes. Flash Stock ROM first. Otherwise you're risking a brick.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
Is xiaomi eu a custom rom or not? Is global rom considered as stock rom? Im confused sorry. Im currently using weekly eu rom (miui 13 22.5.25).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Xiaomi.eu is a Custom ROM and not affiliated with Xiaomi.

Xiaomi.eu is a ROM based on MIUI China with its Xiaomi System-apps (instead of Google System-apps like in EU or Global).

Xiaomi.eu is basically the latest MIUI China, adds Google Play, removes system ads, disables some tracking by default, and some other optimisations for EU and Global.

Xiaomi.eu Weekly is also just MIUI China Weekly.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
Should I flash the official rom before I flash a custom rom? Also when I try to flash yung miflash the POCO F3 EEA Global rom here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/

I ran in some problems, the anti rollback thing. It doesn't flash the global rom. I can boot normally back to my current miui 13 22.5.25 but I cant downgrade or change from UNOFFICIAL to OFFICIAL/GLOBAL rom. Please correct me if there's a mistake understanding because I dont know either if I understand. Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
Also is

Stock rom is same as global rom?

or

the stock rom is the miui itself whether it's official or unofficial?

or Stock rom is the rom version out of the box the when the phone is open or used first time?

I want to flash other custom roms too
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
My rollback value is 1. Is rollback thing applicable only on miui roms? what about other roms? Are custom rom have anti rollback just like miui. I once brick my device, when i tried to bypass anti rollback in miflash by removing some codes. That time idk what is the purpose of that until now.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Stock ROM = Original software that your phone shipped with

Good resource on what Anti-Rollback Protection is:

Xiaomi's Anti-Rollback Protection Explained: How to avoid bricking your phone

All Xiaomi smartphones and tablets will have anti-rollback protection enabled. What is it and how do you avoid bricking your device because of it?

www.xda-developers.com

Other phones have ARP too, however Xiaomi has implemented it differently.

I don't fully understand how Xiaomi devices are getting bricked through this... But I try to avoid circumstances where I downgrade... :S

I don't think it's a good idea to remove the Anti-Rollback Protection Code in the MIUI ROMs... Isn't the code there to protect you?

I'm not sure :/
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
I experience it the hard way, but now its ok. M either I dont know how i manage to boot it back to miui even I remove the code and brick my device. Also I check my Anti rollback protection value and fastboot command prompt says =1. Do i need fastboot miui rom that has the same anti rollback value?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NetteyLegend:
al

also how do I know my stock rom? I cant remember it.

Drawn using the touch screen and mouse

Exported, saved, and loaded images/projects

And played with some layers

Hello,

when I:

1. downloaded "fontconfig_2.8.0-2_win32.zip" from here:

https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/dependencies/fontconfig_2.8.0-2_win32.zip

2. erased "Blank Section" (lines 77-142) from fonts.conf,

3. stored fonts.conf in C:\Users\Vertex\AppData\Roaming\fonts

4. set system env variables:

set "FC_CONFIG_DIR=C:\Users\Vertex\AppData\Roaming\fonts"

set "FONTCONFIG_PATH=C:\Users\Vertex\AppData\Roaming\fonts"

set "FONTCONFIG_FILE=C:\Users\Vertex\AppData\Roaming\fonts\fonts.conf"

5. and run gimp-console-2.10.exe then it crashes.

It seems, that you probably didn't port libfontconfig-1.dll to win32 arm32?

Anyway apart from that, it works great. <3
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] frylockk19:
Ah, it crashed because you tried loading a x86_32 DLL on ARM32. I'll look into it before I release another version.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mbjun:
Thanks. I didn't use DLL from the ZIP of course. I am not THAT stupid. LOL (I checked the DLL header with the FileInfo TotalCommander plugin and found, that DLL is win32 x32 as expected.) I only used fonts.conf TXT file from archive, because I had no idea, how to write it myself. It seems, that your GIMP win32 arm32 uses a deprecated version of "fontconfig", which doesn't support "blank_characters". So I had to delete them from the config file.

If you will release something new, it would be nice, if it would be an incremental update of only modified files. :D Because... "Size matters.", she said. :D

Also, the frylock_k19 avatar should be something like this: (Beardless it looks better IMHO.)

Hello

I recently lost my s10 and now got my hands on a new one (exact same model)

I thought i was smart and restored a TWRP backup from the lost phone on the new one

I guess the mistake was that there was also the efs partition included in the backup

The rom (newest beyond) works without problems but the sim card is not recognized and baseband and IMEI both show unknown

so i flashed the original samsung firmware with odin but even then i have baseband and IMEI unknown

Did i just screw my new s10 or does anyone have an idea?

any help much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] djentleman:
Anyone has an idea what I could try?

Or did I really kill my phone for good😩
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
My guess is that you may have wiped out the new phone specifics, such as IMEI and other things. I'm not sure if you can recover that in some way, or if you need to just find a way to get your old IMEI back. I would probably try to restore my old IMEI if I can (see if you can identify the old one from your carrier's website or something, for example).
