[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I'm still giving the battery a beating to see what it can do. I know the TYTN II battery was decent and the touch pro was way worse than that. The xperia lost 30% of battery power with 3 hrs and 45mins of video playback. And on the weekend i wanna say i got 4-5 hrs of battery with wifi, bluetooth (of course that keeps turning off) and streaming with screen on max brightness. This is none stop. I just left it running. So i think that is excellent!!

To compare to the WWE Touch pro i'd say the keyboard on the x1 is close the worst i've ever used with the wizard being number 1. Where the touch pro is by far the nicest most comfortable keyboard i've ever used. Oh and the xperia is lighter and feels more compact. I never used the accelerometer(with the exception of tweeter which was excellent :) ) in the touch so i don't care that the xperia doesn't have it.

I can guarantee that either way u go u will be more than happy moving from the wizard. and i mean REALLY HAPPY!!!!

watch the all the youtube vids on the xperia x1 and the touch pro. Of course remember that some of the videos of the xperia had prelease software which was GOD AWFUL!
[XPERIA X1 General] Keland44:
yea i like how the battery is for the x1 i've never used the screen at full birghtness so that should help increase battery life too

i guess the biggest issue is the price i can get the wife to approve the touch pro but i know the x1 won't meet wifey approval. but we'll see some things might work out
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
If you are in the US. I can give u a way to get it for 300 bucks. Here is what you can do. Buy an iphone 3G with ur contract renewel or new contract and pull ur sim out and sell it on ebay. They are going for like 700 bucks or something. Take that money and go get u an X1 :) I was about to do that but i thought i might use my upgrade to get the touch pro if i didn't like the xperia.
[XPERIA X1 General] iceman4357:
i was thinking of getting the x1, but decided not to after seeing a few review. It is a very cool phone, but I think that it will run too slow and cost too much for what it is. The Omnia was also one of my alternatives, but i just can not seem to part with a keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I hope you were basing it off the videos with the released software not the pre release. This phone is amazingly fast. It hasn't slowed down a bit since i bought it.
[XPERIA X1 General] dinan:
The Omnia is WM... it will be just as slow as any other WM. You don't get a WM device and expect it to be as quick as any other dumbphone. All smartphone OS's have their lags. WM is so customizable and powerful, it has the most lags/crashes. I've also used many S60 phones, and while they're a bit quicker, they're also less powerful and do have lags as well. Recently played with 2 new Blackberry Bolds, and yes, they have their lags as well. Although it doesn't seem like you can do much on those Blackberries...

And the iPhone... I don't even consider than a smartphone, but if you want to, it's not without its share of lagging/crashes. I have one, I don't use it, and I can lag it to death, along with crashing it. Also happens to the ones I play with in the Apple or AT&T stores...
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
AMEN!!!!! PREACH ON!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] Keland44:
you know what that's not a bad idea i'll have to keep that one in the pocket and see how it works out

but how would that work wit the data plan cuz i think you have to get the iphone data plan also
[XPERIA X1 General] dontdo_that:
I just picked up my FUZE the day it came out and I am pleased with it. It has showed signs of slight lag, but apparently it's due to all the bloatware AT&T has on it. I intend to flash it soon and reinstall TF3D without the media net bloatware and it should get even quicker. The fuze is solidly built, and I have noticed a few people looking at it like what is that sick phone?! haha.

To be honest, if you compare the actual specs on the phones and the fact that it is theoretically possible to run any software on both phones (except accelerometer requiring apps for the x1), the phones are too similar to warrant a 200-300+ price hike for the X1. Also at this time there isn't any info as to who, if anyone will pick up the X1.

Save the 300+ bucks and put it towards a kick ass laptop to tether you're capable phone to. Or buy yourself a nice digital point and shoot that can record video if that's what floats your boat.

The X1 is a sweet phone, but the price just wasn't justified for me in addition to not knowing if a carrier was going to support it in the USA.
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
The iphone data plan is like 30 bucks a month for unlimited. I would assume that if you have one of these phones u have an unlimited data plan already. If you don't u can always be like hey att i lost my iphone. Unless u wanna give me another u need to change my plan
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
Be prepared for screen rotation delay. Even when you flash but still not gonna aggravate u at all. Its minor just thought i'd give u a heads up
[XPERIA X1 General] saeba:
My thanks to everyone for their input and advice!

My plan at this point is to purchase the Touch Pro (Fuze) when it becomes available on our company premier site on AT&T (maybe next week) and then look to sell it on eBay. If I'm able to do that and fund the Sony X1 purchase, I'll then go forward with buying the X1. Otherwise, I'll be happy with the Fuze and the savings.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] PorcoMaster:
hello guys, i am having a bit of difficult to root a J701MT, it does look like it´s exactly the same phone as J701F, as look on comparison, https://www.phonemore.com/compare/p...t-vs-samsung-galaxy-j7-neo-sm-j701fds/6747318.

only difference i could find, it is that J701MT might accept TV signal ?, but it´s same processor and everything else is equal.

however i am a little afraid to root using J701F files and bricking it.

can i use J701F files to root it ?

and which is the newest and safest root available ?

Hi,

I just installed a PX6 android in my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Was working good for a week minus the bluetooth mic, I can hear good others said I sounded like I was in a tunnel.

The screen started glitching with black lines. It seems like a voltage interferance possibley?Don’t know what is causing it?

Not much help from the sellers.

I’ve attached a video. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You need to get the boot_a.img and dtbo_a.img from the kdz stock rom a10 file and you can try flashing it in both boot_a and boot_b, dtbo_a and dtbo_b in qfil, this might fix it. ANd edl is still there, you need to try a fill more, and you will do it

Hi,

I want to put this Lineage 19 rom on my G7. Can you help me please? My G7 is LM-G710EM, bootloader is unlocked. Its running LG's android 10 up to 01/11/2020 (that appears to be my final update possible - though I thought there was one in 2021?? - no available updates showing there now anyway)

1. (very noob question) when we say 'stock' do we mean just 'what came with the phone, and its subsequent updates?' As in, we didn't install any roms or recovery at this point. Is that right? Thats what i have right now. UK phone.

2. My firmware is V30h-EUR-XX, in this thread it says I need: "ROM Firmware Required: Must be on 30F EM, 30D EMW/EAW/AWM, 30D EMW for N model" - So do I need to find and install the 30F EM firmware? Where can I find the files and instructions please? Is it here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710em-firmwares/ ? ...Or is my V30h ok without this as its newer firmware?

**KEY QUESTION**

3. Could someone please outline for me the 'roadmap' for getting my G7 from: LG A10 -- to ---> L19

(Please correct / advise below)

1. use ofox to replace firmware 30H with 30F

2. use ofox to install L19 over existing LG A10

Is that right? ...or are there steps missing? e.g. I need to install x, then do y, ... and then install L19, or something like that? :-)

Very grateful for any help you can give!

I am a noob but I had some success already putting cyanogen / lineage roms on old devices:

amazon kindle fire, my old HTC oneX, Samsung Galaxy Trend, LG G4 ...all still working fine ;-) ...thanks to XDA.

(I might not be able to reply straight away - work hours - but I'll try to get back asap)

Many Thanks,
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DanCS1995:
Hey, you are fine with your 30H firmware, you should have no problems with it.

Anyway, to change firmware you don't use ofox, you use LGUP

the guide you can find on this thread

Cross-Flash Oreo or Pie firmwares for all LG G7, G7+ dual sim Thinq except t-mobile​

Once in ofox you can do from "CLEAN FLASH" steps of this guide
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tommy_brock:
Hi,

Thanks so much for your reply.

I will not try to flash firmware as you think mine will be OK, but I will check out the linked information you gave for my own understanding.

I will use ofox and follow the 'clean flash' guide from here, as you advise.

That's great! Now I have a plan for action :cool:

I will try this over the next couple of days.

Many thanks,
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tommy_brock:
Success!!

Thanks for your help, I have L19 running on my G7 now. the install was painless! :-) all seems good and working. I'm just trying it out, but so far, smooth. It is really nice to have something so up to date running on the phone. also so clean and simple, without all the crud the original system had. a huge improvement.

I have some questions,

- After reboot, trebuchet gives me an Android System message: 'There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details'

...after I dismiss it, I don't see it again. Have you seen this message? It is too cryptic for me to troubleshoot, but it doesnt seem to be causing a problem (as yet....?)

- Android System Trust Security throws up 2 alerts: This build was signed with public keys ; SELinux is not enforcing, your security has been weakened

...I'm guessing these are ok?

- In the Lineage camera app, the wide camera does not function (only main and front present).

I already put Open Camera app on there, which recognises all three cameras, and gave me great results before this on the G7, so I use Open Camera anyway.

- Can anyone recommend a GCam build for this rom? even better if its older and I don't have to root and do the 'buffer fix' stuff.

If anyone could advise, That would be great thank you!

Cheers,
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DanCS1995:
Oh, congratulations man, about "internal error" message is normal, its because of custom kernel, just ignore it.

About the second question, its because selinux is permissive, we can't figure out yet how to make the device enforcing, but its ok that.

About LineageOS Camera, i dont recommend use it, use some gcam, at this part i dont know what recommends. later i can send you the one i use.
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tommy_brock:

I've been using this rom for a few days now and it works great. The only thing I've noticed that doesn't work correctly is that Settings > Display > Prevent Accidental Wakeup only actually works for taps and not button presses.

E: Also, long-pressing the search button only does whatever the short-press assignment is. There's no haptic feedback, so it just seems to not register anything but short presses.

[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheArt.:
SElinux not enforced is a security concern and I advise against installing such ROMs.
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tommy_brock:
Hi,

Could you expand please? Why is this critical?

XDA is full of advice on rooting / modding / altering original software / etc ...many of these activities throw up warnings. Unlocking the bootloader on the G7 itself throws up a warning on every reboot, despite the manufacturer allowing the unlock. So why do you advise against this SE Linux issue? And is the ROM ok if they can fix the issue?

It looks like you have been at XDA a long time. I am interested to have your input please.

Thank you!
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] EmanuelCN:
Feel free to contribute and make selinux enforcing :D. Its not that big of a deal as long as you do not flash/install random things on your phone. Unlocking bootloader to begin with is a "security concern"

Thanks for the beautiful range of explanations and important information!!!!!
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheArt.:
Hi Tommy, I am on XDA since a while but I am not a dev, just a curious user. I contributed with some guides and other non coding stuff. Anyway, regarding SElinux, I too wasn't paying much attention to it until I start reading on this subject on the web. For instance you can start by reading this reddit discussion or use a search engine of your choice to look further.

Emanuel, If I had the knowledge I would make if enforcing, but as I am just a guy concerned about security and privacy I wrote that opinion.

Of course I am still grateful that G7 is kept alive thanks to your effort with newer OS versions and security patches. My observation regarding SElinux state is a warning for users to be mindful of what they are installing on the most important device of their life (smartphone).

As I have installed ROMs for different devices, I noticed that custom ROMs can have SElinux on enforced mode. Bootloader unlock is another concern, sure. But 95% of the ROMs can't relock the bootloader (except for GrapheneOS and CalyxOS available only for a few devices, and DivestOS with some phones). In addition, having an unlocked bootloader is a security issue only if an unauthorized person gets physical access to your smartphone. Whereas SElinux helps protect you... from yourself basically. Sometimes we install things that are truly legitimate but they maybe altered by a phishing attack of even in PlayStore there are plenty of nasty stuff.

I wrote that comment because too often security aspects are being traded-off too much for other things. Overall installing custom ROMs is risky but a user should find a equilibrium there and try to risk as less as possible while gaining access to updates and latest security patches.

I started installing custom ROMs to improve performance of my potato-smartphone back in 2012. Then to get rid of Google. Then to keep an old device alive while still having decent level of security and privacy.
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tommy_brock:
Hi TheArt,

Thanks for taking the time to write that reply.

I can see your point of view and I am glad you brought this up, because it is important to be aware of it and reminded of it.

I did some research about SElinux. It is a worthwhile and strong security enhancement.

It seems though, that it is very complex to troubleshoot, hence some advocate switching it off (for sanity). So there are legitimate reasons to switch it off, even though it is much better to have it on.

In terms of limiting my own 'attack surface' -

I never do banking on my mobile devices, or have any banking apps.

I have not rooted the G7

I don't have any Google apps, or use Play Store. I do use F-Droid almost exclusively, and occasionally sideload a few other apps, which I 'hope' I can trust.

I am not using this G7 as a daily driver yet, but was considering that. IMO its now running better than it ever did before, so i'm very keen to use this ROM, and really glad to have the G7 working so well. Thanks again to the guys that have made this :-)

**The things that I would be concerned about keeping safe on my phone are: photos, email (K9), Signal messages, Keepass. If the device was compromised, would all of the above be available to an attacker? I guess they would. As Keepass is encrypted and needs a password every time, it might be safer?

**I was also thinking, as the security updates are so recent (July 2022), maybe its still more secure than the LG OS which hadn't seen an update since 2020?

I am keen to hear if anyone has any thoughts on the above.

Cheers for your help,
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SkewedZeppelin:
It should be noted that the applcation sandbox on Android is primarily achieved through the SELinux policy.

An Android OS without enforcing SELinux should not be used as a daily driver at all.

Furthermore a locked bootloader is required for enforcing verified boot, which *does* protect against remote attacks. As with verified boot enforcing it is much more difficult for malware to gain persistence across wipes.

For the maintainer here you can run in permissive and use audit2allow to generate a rough policy that should be enough to enable it.
