View attachment 5682451​

Intro​

Barebones ROM is the lightest ROM yet to exist for XZP with nothing much to expect. Made for expert & power-users.

Features​

Literally nothing more than an Android brick that can take photos and make calls.

Extremely light.

No bloatware

Cool DNA boot animation

Made by an amateur Android modder, expect bugs.

Modular system (lmao, I basically split zip packages to call it modular), allowing you to choose between different app packages.

Battery life is somewhat better than stock.

What's left in the ROM​

​

Spoiler content hidden.

What works​

Camera

Calling

Messaging (You might need to open once after fresh install)

Mobile Data

Bluetooth

Wi-Fi

NFC

Fingerprint reader

Audio enhancement, Clear audio+ (Only tested Spotify, you may need some magisk modules for advanced use)

Second profile

Stamina mode

Work profile for use with Shelter(Island)

Location (MicroG+Dejavu, took 5 minutes for first lock, if it is crucial for you, use GApps)

Call recording (Axet's call recorder with magisk module)

GravityBox

Xposed

MicroG

What may not work​

Region based roms (This rom was only tested on TUR region since I already had that)

VoLTE

Screencasting

If you have low signal, you might miss calls (unreachable).

What won't work​

Video enhancement :(

Stock messaging app (replaced with QKSMS)

Hotspot settings, to learn password go to "/data/misc/wifi/softap.conf", changing this file is not recommended. Can't share with NFC either.

Hotspot also won't work if Afwall is not giving access to apps with Root Access (weird bug), just disable temporarily.

[Realme X7 Max 5G] fcxo912:
I'm using the google translator because I don't speak English-

I need help with the conversion of realme gt neo flash to X7 max 5g indian version, I follow all the guide and when starting MTKAuthBypassTool I get the following error "ERROR STATUS ERR 0XC0010001".

The phone does not restart, it continues off, then I disconnect the usb cable to repeat the bypasstool step and it gives me the following error "BRom protocol error ACK a0 = a0". Following this I click on DOWNLOAD and the following error appears "ERROR STATUS BROM CMD START CMD FAIL 0XC0060001"

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I had already followed this tutorial twice and both times with success, but this time there is no way to transform it to X7 max 5g

*I was testing customs roms, exactly the lineage os, which doesn't go beyond the logo.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gwylius:
Ok, so I've been having this problem for around a year and a half now on and off. But now, my phone just doesn't wanna turn on at all. I was gonna turn this phone in for the trade in pixel 6a, but conveniently, stopped working the day before I ordered the kit. Is there any way to fix it? I brought it to ubreakifix and they said a battery replacement was going to cost more than $100. Any help?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] PhonePerfection:
Long time lurker, first time poster here. First of all, a massive THANK YOU to everyone here. You guys and gals are Awesome! <3

So, I bought a Samsung S10 (SM-G973F/DS) on Ebay recently and flashed it to Lineage OS 19.1. All was fine until I tried to activate it. We did everything...manually changing the ASP settings, and a bunch of other stuff to try and get this thing to connect to the mobile network. Even placed the SIM card in another phone just to confirm the SIM card was fine, which it was.

Long story short, I think the device was perhaps locked even though the seller claimed it was unlocked. Whatever, I'm over it. I flashed stock back on it and re-locked the boot loader, sent it back. Not worth the aggravation. However, I am questioning if there wasn't something else I could have done?

I was trying to activate the S10 on Mint Mobile USA (a T-Mobile reseller, so GSM) it should have been fine. The default language on the device was German. I don't think that should matter, but maybe it does? Do European phones have problems activating in North America?

My question is: If I decide to get another S10 (SM-G973F/DS) from the secondary market (if its even worth it at this point, since the SM-G973F/DS is really hard to find), is there anything I can find out from the seller first so I don't end up having to send it back?

Or, should I just give up my dream of having an S10 installed with Lineage OS and it's glorious headphone jack and expandable storage forever? If so, are there any worthy alternatives to the S10 worth considering, given my affinity for headphone jacks and expandable storage?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] meric57:
Hello PhonePerfection, all a novel why you speak S10 G973F / DS in the United States.

Already your model S10 G973F/DS exynos 5G or the first 4G model so if these this Europe chip model, if now installed Samsung phone info look at who is scoring at worst take screenshots.

I don't understand your question United States, locked unlocked the seller.

You buy in the back market refurbished and unlocked telephone all operator therefore for sim card, the concern these the chip to install network either US or ASIA controls your model if these good SM-G973F/DS and not SM-G973U or G973U1.

Don't forget to say hello
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I think what @meric57 is trying to say is that your phone doesn't have the right chips to communicate on the frequencies in the USA. It's made for other markets and other frequencies... so it won't work here.

If you use FrequencyCheck you can see what carriers support what frequencies on your specific model: https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...m-td-lte-512gb-samsung-beyond-1/united-states

Scroll down to the "United States" area and you'll see it doesn't support the frequencies used in the USA (except for GSM 2.5, which is old and dead here in the USA). The US is primarily on LTE... and you can see that phone model doesn't support ANY of the available frequencies.

Bottom line "GSM" doesn't tell you enough. You have an incomatible phone model for the USA market. No SIM card will fix that.

Note, in SOME cases, you can activate other frequencies by loading different ROMs into the phone. My old LG V30 did this, for example. I have heard that you can run some Exynos phones here in the USA, but I don't know the details to help. FrequencyCheck may help you figure that out. Be sure the look for the complete model number, not just "Galaxy S10" or something... the naming is worthless for figuring this out.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] PhonePerfection:
Hey, this is great info. Good to know. It looks like that S10 could only communicate on 1 of 8 bands used by Mint/T-Mobile. That 1 usable band appears to have been deprecated by T-Mobile as it is. I think that explains it perfectly. Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
You're welcome.

Yeah, frequencies/bands are very important to watch, particularly if you're buying out of market devices. You have to know model numbers and carriers to be sure of anything, and unfortunately this info is relatively hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] PhonePerfection:
The CSC on that device was DBT (Germany). I had to find that out in order to put the correct stock OS back on there.

Makes me wonder if the ebay seller even knows this. They appear to specialize in mobile phones with tens of thousands of transactions, so I would hope they've encountered this situation before. They were more than happy to accept a return on the device. Sent me a prepaid shipping label immediately.

Back to the CSC... Let's say I look for another S10 (SM-G973F/DS) but I ask what the CSC is for that device. Are there any regions outside the lower 48 states with reasonably good chances of it working? I suppose I would need to study the mobile frequency website for the answer to that.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I did some quick searching, and supposedly there are websites that say the 973F/DS will work on MM (mint mobile)... but they don't detail how. For example: https://de-googled.com/blogs/news/a-word-on-network-compatibility-of-our-degoogled-phones

and https://www.ebay.com/p/15030406771 (in the description).

So, maybe it is possible? I don't know, so maybe someone else can chime in.

Personally, I stuck with U-version phones and gave up rooting/romming. It's just getting too hard to find phones that offer this, so I figured I'd just adapt back to a stock ROM, since choices are limited. I had done a bunch of that in the past, but I found that stock roms (today) are pretty good... and allow enough customization that made root/rom unnecessary... for me. My current is an SM-G975U1 (unlocked, USA, Snapdragon S10+) on Total Wireless (VZ MVNO)... it works great and I don't miss root/rom at all.

Rumor is that the Galaxy S23 will only be offered as Snapdragon, so maybe that will open up more options... but I doubt it. Samsung loves it's Knox system, and will likely lock down the phone even more with every generation.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] PhonePerfection:
Thanks for the link. I think I may try for an S10 again if the seller can tell me what the CSC is. That page on De-googled.com affirms that American devices are more restrictive than their European counterparts.

It just doesn't make any sense to me personally to use a device with an open source OS that has loads of telemetry, spyware, bloat, etc. Which is a contradiction that I am not comfortable with. It's like installing a Linux distro that comes bundled with Facebook.

To me, being proactive about privacy is the equivalent to standing up for yourself in the real world. Sure, you can use a stock ROM and there is nothing wrong with that. It's having the freedom to choose which is most important. So long as that choice is available, I will happily go that route.

I like the added bonus of an Android device that seems faster with a longer lasting battery as well. I mean, I paid for this device. I should have the right to decide what apps are running on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
No argument there... I agree with why we should be allowed to root/rom. Unfortunately, the carriers pull the strings in the USA (business over people) so we are losing options. Frankly, it pisses me off that they can still prevent phones from connecting to their network just because the IMEI doesn't match (even if the software is correct). In the end, if the device CAN work on the network, the carrier should have no say in allowing/disallowing it on the network. They like to claim that a "bad" device could "hurt" the network, but if that happens, they can lock out that phone and figure it out. I doubt that's even ever happened, but whatever. (They prevented me from using my already-working V30 US998 phone on the network, even though it ran as VS996 with no issues for years... they only later saw the IMEI wasn't "theirs" (original SIM card failed) so they prevented me from re-registering it. So stupid.)

Good luck, and let us know if you figure it out... I'm always curious to learn!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Hogwarts:
yes, most japan and europe phones do not have the correct radios channels in them for 4g and 5g. i ran into this same problem with my xperia phones that i bought overseas. this is a common problem that can happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mustardman29:
The S10 and all it's variants is a world compatible GSM phone. So yes, the F variant should work with most GSM carriers and resellers in N. America.

There are various websites that will tell you what frequencies and carriers any particular model will work with if you do a search. Like this one.

WillMyPhoneWork.net - Check if your phone works on a network

Check 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE Network Frequency Compatibility for a Smartphone, Tablet, and Mobile Device in any Country and Mobile Network Carrier

willmyphonework.net

According to that site the SM-G973F/DS supports all 2G, 3G, and 4G frequencies used by Mint.
[Google Pixel 6] mustardseeds:
In a WhatsApp group chat, is there anyway to read messages in a group chat without having the sender get the read receipt? How can I read messages in a group chat without showing the sender I have red their message?
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
As a partial solution, you can see the most recent one from the the notification bar. Viewing it there doesn't mark it as read.
[Google Pixel 6] GGTDM:
If you turn Read receipts (settings/privacy) off, people will not see that you have read messages, but you will also not see when they read yours. It (seeing the blue checks) only works when both/all parties have it enabled.

So if you have it on, but I don't, then neither of us will see read receipts in our conversation.
[Google Pixel 6] BooMujaahid:
Yes of course there're some ways you can do this, but remember without launch the app:

One is add a WhatsApp widget to your homescreen and stretch it to the maximum. You'll see all what is happening in your WhatsApp without launching it, unless you choose to do so. This way is limited, as too long messages are not shown fully.

Another option is to use third party apps like "notification widget" app which shows you everything there. Likewise if you use "good lock" and it's modules, there's "notistar" in it. This module allows you to see and even copy messages in WhatsApp while on your Lockscreen, I mean without unlocking the phone or launching the app. This is amazing! I like it.

NOTE: All these will show you text and sticker previews from the WhatsApp . I haven't found any app or option that shows images or videos in this way. Should anyone know it, please share.
[Google Pixel 6] mustardseeds:
Is there a way to set the "notification widget" app to only show WhatsApp messages?

Hello,

I just actualizaed my TP to new ROM from qspa: [03-11-2008] Profesjonalny ROM v 3.0 ATT LITE (he prived that on our polish forum) Anyway everything was fine after installing and than I install Sprite Backup to restore all my data. And after rebooting system can't start. It hang ups on black screen with Touch Pro sign and versions of ROM etc.

Do you know what can be the reason? I'm unable to do HR :/ - nothing happen.

EDIT: Sorry guys. I run HR (I had bad procedure) but know I need to restore my data from Sprite Backup *.exe file. How can I do that ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Fritts:
So your TP is booting correctly again?

[FYT Android Head Units] genio2812:
Hello good evening,

First of all, hello to all of you, I am new and apologize in advance if I have created the post in the wrong place.

I have been looking to install a multimedia system for my Renault Megane 2 and I have found the Teyes system. The problem I have is that I totally do not know the difference between each model and I have seen that there are several. CC2, CC2L, SPRO+, CC3 and X1. I imagine that the CC3 system is the newest but I don't want a top of the range either if I'm not going to take full advantage of it. For example:

1 - I don't know what functionality it has to have 4G in the Teyes system, I imagine that for this it will be necessary to contract an internet line through an additional SIM and that really does not interest me since I can share the phone data with Teyes, right?

2 - Is the X1 a new model that just came out or is it old?

3 - What are all the Teyes models for the Megane 2 to have more or less a reference and be able to compare prices?

Thank you so much.

Pd: I have found these 2 comparative videos but I don't understand anything because they are in Russian.

[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Just buy a generic FYT uis7862, the likes of sold by equally as fictitious brands such as Mekede, Navifly.

This will get you a good unit without the Teyes tax and changes Teyes make to block devices like cameras, bluetooth, etc.

Avoid the fake brand Teyes.
[Android Head-Units] Astudan1015:
Hello,

So on my head unit there's an app just called "Bluetooth Music" or something like that.

When that app is open and my phone is connected via Bluetooth, it will play any audio that's playing on my phone through the stereo (obv.)

When the app is not open, calls will still come through the stereo but the audio playing on the phone will go to nowhere.

The way that's operating is fine, I'm just looking for an app that does the same exact thing but had a better and customizable gui. The app that's on there you can't change anything about the look of it and it looks bad.

Android Auto i know is a thing, my head unit does not do that natively and the dongle i got didn't work. So i know that answer.

Does anyone know if an APP that will do what seems like this very simple thing?

All the apps I'm coming across are geared towards controlling Bluetooth devices like headphones or hearing aids but they will not do this.

Thanks

Hello there,

my K30 Ultra fell down and the display only shows green/purple lines when on. A display replacement costs 165 bucks for the amoled only (at least i didn't found it cheaper), so I think I would just buy a Poco F4. Unfortunately, my last backup is too long ago and i would like to access the data. But every time I connected the phone, it failed because usb debugging authentication didnt work (I tried tapping the screen everywhere).

The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any way to access it or use an external screen with it?
