[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bootyballs:
Hi All,

My Oneplus 7 pro (GM1917) recently bricked itself and I am looking for some pointers on how to restore it/flash a custom rom onto it. I am a beginner in using custom roms, so I am looking for some help on this forum.

My phone was running stock Oxygen OS, and I am not sure where to start or what custom rom to even pick. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit - The bootloader should be unlocked, but I cant get it to boot at all or display anything, Power+Volume up & down buttons don't boot into the bootloader/fastboot, no change in display.

Can anyone make this app? I think it would be very useful. Thanx:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iharkins:
I used some software on my old Hermes called WebCamera Plus. It's not free but it worked extremely well. I think you could even choose which camera to use? I haven't tried it on Diamond though. You can check it out for yourself here -> http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] balak001:
any free programms ??:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pafke:
Yes there is

Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com

Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8

Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera

Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture

Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..

Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM

Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.

PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hiero:
this is really not a good way!

mymobiler transfers the screen with about 2-3 fps... not very good for a "webcam" isnt it?

best solution is Mobiolas web Camera... working great on my diamond and supporting qvga and 15 fps on the diamond

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sirgilmour:
In the developer options, there seems to be no OEM unlock option to let me install TWRP with odin.

I am currently on Android 9 and Baseband version G950WVLU8CUF3.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] iBowToAndroid:
No. There is a limited root method, but no, custom ROMs cannot be installed without an unlocked bootloader.

Interestingly enough, the S9 *can* be unlocked (albeit via paid 3rd party service only)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sirgilmour:
I heard that the Canadian models are the ones that can't be unlocked. I had the same issue with my LG V20 and what fixed it was replacing the Canadian firmware with a US one. Do you think it is possible with Samsung devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] iBowToAndroid:
Firmware is cross-flashable, yes. But that doesn't magically make the device bootloader unlockable.

The OEM Unlock function is removed from all (well, I think there are 1 or 2 exceptions, mostly crappy phones in the A series) USA and Canadian devices

The year is 2082. Society as we know it has collapsed and the world is but a nuclear wasteland. I haven't seen or talked to another human in weeks. Food is scarce and shelter is hard to come by... But life lingers on, even if just for a while longer, nature tries to heal itself with the little sunlight that manages to reach the ground through the dense clouds of soot. Last night I heard screams coming from the forest of dead pine trees, east of the abandoned glass factory. I'm not sure if they were human screams or the calls of an alternate, but I'm not eager to find out... I must hurry and head north, this place is no longer safe. To add insult to injury, I broke my only weapon while I was trying to cut down a few tree branches to light a fire... until I find materials to fix it, my possessions are my pet dog Alex, an half eaten can of beans and my ME173X running Android 69 with the latest security updates.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] 505dv:
Thank you very much for providing builds for this tablet! The 13 build really helped us a lot, as our 2-year-old could watch downloaded Peppa Pig episodes from Netflix during long vacation drives. Although I did had to download a previous major version of the Netflix APK to get it to work on Android 6.

As this version doesn't have Widevine DRM, Netflix won't work, I guess. The current version of Netflix from the app store needs at least Android 7, so it would be nice if this new build would also support that in the future. Is it possible to flash that somehow, or would you need to compile that during build-time? If so, it that planned, or are there any technical difficulties regarding that?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
hi

rotation sensor not working :

Yeah this is stated on the "not working" status " > Sensors: accelerometer (autorotation)"

I could never fixed this sensor on my kernel

battery charging VERY slow

The device can be very picky with chargers, with the stock charger it can charge up to 1.2 AMP @ 5v

fast stock, slow with GAPPS

Yeah GAPPS really have an huge impact on devices, it runs really smooth without GAPPS installed

Google sucks :p

camera not working

This is very nice report ( Thanks ) every single user that reported me the front camera isn't working has an device with the LG screen...

I just bought my third ASUS ME173X and got it yesterday ( since my kid broke the second one .. )

unfortunately all my tablets have the same nt35521 Screen ( really hopping to grab an LG variant ) for testing :/

This is with the tablet plugged into the wall 24/7, sometimes it gets tired and stops charging

Don't mind the second pic, that's just it being used as a wireless monitor :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
You need to be running any of stock firmware with root rights.

There's many apps that facilitate the task like "deviceinfohw" , give the app root on settings, and on the main page it'll show you what LCM you device has.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
It's literally on the F.A.Q.

Just flash magisk v23 on twrp, done!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Normal behavior, and glad it does stop, then kernel safety it's doing its job .

Devices ( with rechargeable batteries) aren't meant to be plugged in 24/7 (just like cellphone aren't)

This could cause overheating , and will most likely degrade very fast the battery, and even the charging circuit.

Currently what's set-up as kernel safety measure is :

charging safety timer AC charger (4 hours)

Charging safety timer USB (8 hours)

If your charger only outputs < 0.5 AMP @5v then it takes into consideration the USB safety timer

Same applies when the battery is nearly full , latest ~ 15% or so will charge slower to avoid battery stress

After this time, it will stop charging anywhere from ~30m to ~3h depending on the conditions (time to cooldown, current battery %, voltages etcetera)

You can check it on my kernel source :

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KarlKlammer3:
Asked the same questions in recovery's thread but as there are more people in here:

So

- are we meant to install the VCOM drivers (made for Win7) in Win10 x64, too?

- the flasher tells me the file size of sro-default-lock-sign.img is 0x00006D20 (so it equals container lengths hex). According to the screenshot in #2 it should be 0X0FAD295000006D20. What am I doing wrong?

- the guide tells how to unlock the bootloader and install CWM in one step. Is this possible for TWRP, too? Or is installing CWM first and replacing it with TWRP the way to go if you are coming from a stock device?

- the guide says to copy the rom " to the EXTERNAL SD Card, BEFORE you start the next steps...". I dont have a SD card. But we can copy the rom to the internal storage once TWRP is installed, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ampk00B:
superdragonpt,​

thanks so much for your work.

Another user of this Asus with LG screen is here, neither back nor front camera works. Can I help you fix this by providing some kind of diagnostic data? If so, please give me instructions what to do on my Asus to obtain the necessary data for you (naturally, if you are still interested in getting cameras work on it).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] raby:
Ahhhh that explains a lot... On the other hand, it charges so slowly (several hours for a full charge) that it barely heats up and then it just gradually loses charge until it reaches 0% turns off, all while plugged in, which is a bit annoying... is there a way to set the max charging capacity? So it would stop charging when it reaches, say, 80%, then let the battery drop down to 60% and charge again to 80% and so on. That's how I have my tissot (xiaomi mi a1) set up and it's been going strong for almost 2 years working as a webcam :)
