Thanks I was thinking they might since it's basically the same carrier but I didn't want to encourage anything untested

Please see the response in the other thread
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
You can use DSU sideloader and boot a prerooted GSI, pull your stock images from whatever patch your on, easy way is to just use Partitions Backup and Restore app from playstore if you don't wanna use command line tools much. Install magisk and patch the extracted boot.img. save all your backups to your PC and flash the patched image in fastboot
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] famewolf:
What "Partitions Backup and Restore app" are you talking about? This one? https://play.google.com/store/search?q=partitions+backup+and+restore&c=apps

where in the registry do i go to change the cache to speed this thing up? i had it earler but had to do a hard reset. what do I set it too as well please
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Oh dude, you just opened a huge can of worms. You will need to be more specific. What exactly are you trying to speed up?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dilly84:
haha. the phone itself. how fast things open up and such.. I had done it earlier and actually had gotten the registry hack from verizonxv6800.net, but their site is down now.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tracid1987:
Hi

I have an LG G6 and unfortunately i missed the chance to unlock bootloader. I have bought it in 2018 and still using it, the battery is near the end of life. I am not going to buy a new phone because its still OK for me, i am just replacing the battery soon.

So it came to my mind i might ask here if somebody has his phone with unlocked bootloader with good circuit board and any other part is damaged so he wont be able to use it anymore in the future and is not spending any more money on obtaining spare parts. For example you have damaged display and you wont replace it and you are going to throw it away anyway.

Is there anybody out there who would be willing to gift his circuit board and send to me? I am not mentioning sale because i think its against the forum rules.

I would really appreciate somebody :)

Thank you

Fyi today's info:

OnePlus announces Oxygen OS 13: Features, devices, and all you need to know

Oxygen OS 13 is here, but what should you know about it? From features to supported devices, we've got all the details.

www.androidauthority.com

OxygenOS 13 will bring Android 13 to OnePlus phones with new features and better UX

OxygenOS 13 will bring Android 13 to OnePlus flagship and "Nord" phones, complete with new features and a better UX. Read more here.

www.xda-developers.com
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Just been reading this on oxygen updater.

Do you think there will be a recovery method this time?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] galaxys:
We can only hope 1+ will get it right this time!🙄 We've suffered enough!😁
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Reminds me of the Huawei P20 Pro and the uncertainty surrounding it, I can't be that unlucky to have two duds either side of the 8 Pro.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] galaxys:
Haha, true! I'm going to hang on for now, even though I still have my 9 Pro for backup...

...🍻
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Seriously wish I'd kept my 8 pro man, such a good device, just superb really.

The leaps in SOC I think will start to slow down now too so the 9 pro would probably serve you well until something good comes out.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] soumyo19x:
Old users planning to keep few more years leave your feedbacks.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MJPollard:
I think it is, especially if you're into custom ROMs and rooting and so forth, as the 10 Pro scene hasn't gotten to that point as of this writing; there's lots of fretting and hand-wringing in the 10 Pro forum about it. I picked up a refurbished one last month from Amazon and am tickled pink with it (I'm keeping my trusty 7 Pro as a backup). In fact, the first thing I did was load my custom-built LineageOS fork (which I had already built in anticipation) onto it, as there was no way I was going to stay on OxygenOS beyond using it to OEM unlock the phone. :LOL:
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RASTAVIPER:
Hey guys,

Just received a used 9 Pro LE2123 and I got it without any battery juice.

I am using the warp charger that is from this model and I noticed that the charging is super slow.

It came with Android C61 and I let it update to C62, if this plays any role.

Any ideas about what is happening?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] abhijithpyd:
Download OOS 11 Firmware from Oneplus Website and Flash it using Local Update App and format the device. Then upgrade into newest Version via OTA.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RASTAVIPER:
Why to do this?

The device was factory resetted when I got it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ghostofcain:
Because you've literally no idea what the last user had flashed to it, or had messed around with.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] soumyo19x:
Making Custom ROMs isn't my issue. The problem with 10 pro for me is not be able recover if got hardbricked (which I will do eventually) . We don't have any official stores in our country. And online services isn't really my thing. 10 Pro is 10$+ then 9 pro here. Still want to buy 9 pro over 10 pro cz of MSM mostly.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RASTAVIPER:
I guess after unlocking the bootloader and the full erase of data it should be fine.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Psk.It:
op9pro could be a good phone for people living on social-media (nowadays the street-price is half of official price)

if you are flashotic or privacy-caring it's better thinking a bifferent device
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AndyC76:
Had mine for around 15 months, LE2123 it took a major hit when it went from a11 to a12. I'm completely stock and not modified in anyway. Overall I have been happy with the phone, I know it was expensive near launch but it's managed well so far. I've blocked all advertising by putting all my traffic through pihole and it's been good. Played a few games on boost mode and it's incredibly slick. I've seen in the latest version c62 you can use storage as ram also. Really love the camera, it has t's fault but most settings can be disabled ( like AI etc) and I am tempted to move to gcam.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] soumyo19x:
what's your current device & did you sold your 9 pro ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AndyC76:
Current device is still OnePlus 9Pro 8gb. LE2123 c62. (UK)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RASTAVIPER:
Finally rooted and cloned all my 146 apps from my previous OP6 phone and everything runs flawlessly. :)

Battery is great, the phone is super fast and it has a very good and fast camera.

My only concern is that some notifications are not coming up on time, so some apps need further check to fix this issue.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] netgar:
Don't use Gmail app. I personally use Sugar mail and never missed any emails.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] galaxys:
The 9 Pro continues to hold its own! Actually it's still pretty popular!📱
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Mr.Conkel:
Personally in the US its one of the few options left available for those who like to really customize their devices. With spectacular battery life on customs (I've had mine about a month and get 8h SOT with some light gaming casually). I mean it doesn't get much better than this! Sure during heavy tasks it can get a little hot but that is slightly improving with OOS12 firmware. It will still reach those peak temps but seemingly not as fast. I got mine from Amazon as well for about $750 USD quite the deal! Using this device has be quite the pleasure. I'm definitely happy on Crdroid with BluSpark kernel. And since OOS has dropped the ball it means that OOS12 based custom roms will get nice custom kernel support which isn't normally there for a long time. Looking forward to the future of this phone!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] davidfarah2003:
No, stick with a phone that has good stock firmware. Oos is buggy af and is getting more and more like chinese bloat.

I would suggest a pixel over it (maybe 7?)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MJPollard:
Except that Pixel phones have a lot of problems of their own, including the firmware, and there's no reason to believe that the 7 series will be any different given Google's recent track record. Pixel vs 9 Pro is just one set of issues versus another at this point. But, if one wants to delve into custom ROMs, both are good in that department (disclaimer: I don't follow the custom ROM scene for Pixel phones so I'm not as familiar with it as I am the OnePlus line).
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Mr.Conkel:
Pixels have lacking support compared to what it used to be with the Nexus line up. There is some interest but it's mostly unofficial support that doesn't last for long and its nothing that you can rely on like with the OnePlus phones
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The biggest problem that puts people off the Pixels right now is the Samsung SoC and modem. Stupid decision on Google's part.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Evo400:
I recently got a new 12 Pro as I hoped Xiaomi fixed the screen and proximity issues from 11T Pro. The 11T Pro is a great phone, the issues I had was a lazy proximity screen sensor which just didn't operate as smooth as an iPhone or Galaxy. No other flaws. So I decided to go with a 12 Pro looking for that screen improvement and a better proximity sensor.

The 12 Pro is everything 11T Pro is, except it does have a better screen more pixels,better colours, resolution and fingerprint recognition that instantly wakes the screen as soon as you touch it!

But still I can get over it that the difference in these two phones is minimal. Genuinely 11T Pro is a monster phone with great components and even better price. If I knew what I was getting, I probably would have stuck with 11T Pro as, 12 Pro is certainly not worth buying of you are coming from 11Tp.

So far from my own tests and checks, 11T Pro tops 12 Pro in every aspect, speed, opening of apps, images and videos rendering which I find a bit disappointed that older phone performs better them a new flagship.

For your info I attached a few screenshot from Antutu Benchmark and Geekbench tests.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] blackhawk:
So you got what you wanted?

The chipsets are nearing their thermal limits; faster processors, 5G and variable refresh rate displays use more mAh and generate more heat as a byproduct. The area to dissipate this thermal load is largely fixed by the dimensions of the device means hotter running devices. Not a pretty picture when you consider the implications.

Worse accurate color calibration of variable refresh rate displays is imperfect, there are simple too many variables. If color calibration is off, the gamma correction gets skewed even more.

Xiaomi probably had room for improvement with their displays. Samsung's display performance in terms of color rendering accuracy zenithed with the Note 10+.

At least you got a better display.

Samsung's S22U can't offer me that or SOT that's better even with a larger 700 mAh battery. It is a buttery smooth better hand warmer though🤣

Sometimes hardware upgrades aren't a good option...
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
I also have both phones and I completely agree with nothing you said.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Evo400:
How's your battery on 12 pro? I find mine really poor
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
It depends on the usage and I'm using a Xiaomi EU rom.

blackhawk​

explained the why and how very well.

Xiaomi Eu rom,same apps same usage.

Poco f2 pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 4700mHa +/- 38 hours/ AOSP +/- 48 hours

11 T pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5000 mHa +/- 35 hours

12 pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 4600 mHa +/- 30 hours

Sony Xperia J(st26) Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 1750 mHa +/- 15 days :ROFLMAO:
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Evo400:
Thanks for that.

I'm also using latest Xiaomi. EU ROM on my 12.

11T pro is still on the global ROM

I find the 12 is really heavy on the battery for pretty much very same task and style of usage in comparison to 11T. The battery gets to 25% by mid day while this never occurred with 11T. ( That would be at least around 50%)

According to battery app what seems to drain the batteries on the 12 is the screen! Although I don't have display on,60hz only, etc .
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
it is possible that this will be fixed with the optimization updates of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 .

Also the battery saver setting set to "close apps after 10 minutes works randomly".

I use a 30w charger.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] blackhawk:
There are reports here that the latest beta release from Samsung greatly improved the S22U's performance. Global power management tends to cause erratic behaviors of most devices especially bluetooth apps.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hah2110:
OK, heres the deal. I have a FUZE and want to flash it. As much useful information as there is on this forum, it is nearly impossible (as stated by many of the members here) to find anything in threads with 30, 50, 90 or even 300 pages. It just is not efficient. There is no good guide that has only constants (e.g., they all say you may need this version of SPL, radio, etc.). I would like some sort of UPDATED, concrete guide. I am willing to donate to whichever one of the developers handles this for me and I also think it would be hugely beneficial to the users of the forum. My hopes is that it becomes a locked thread so it cannot be polluted and it only stays a useful guide. The people on this forum are amazingly knowledgeable, probably the best on the net... There just needs to be organization and I'd really like to get that ball moving. Here is what I'd like

1) The fastest, cleanest, most stable ROM

2) The most efficient radio (I'm fine with my current signal strength, which radio does that equate to)

3) The LEAST maintenance, meaning internet settings for AT&T, proxies, settings, all the task manager junk that has to be done.

I would even take one of the cleaned up AT&T ROMS as long as it isn't as slow as a 500lb man in a 40yd dash.

I understand that creating ROMs is no easy task; However, being proficient in the business and technology world, I can bring a few things to the table. Inaccurate and disorganized information usually causes the collapse of many businesses and I feel that is the biggest downside of this forum. Just think about how hard it would be if your file cabinet of work was turned upside down and there was little to no organization? Someone from the outside trying to look for a file would have no clue where to start (e.g. looking at all of the thread names is quite overwhelming... [ROM] [ENG] [READY!|15 NOV] ROMeOS² v1.40.1 (19974.1.2.8|STABLE)). Noobs (including myself) have NO IDEA what any of that means until we start reading.

Therefore, if anyone is willing to help me get this started, I would gladly donate.

Thanks for listening, guys... I look forward to working with everyone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ecltech:
Well, the first place to start is the Wiki specific to the Raphael. There you can find all the necessary info about the Raphael.

It seems you want to flash a ROM to your device. Right now there's only a handful available and you will have to try to see what best fits your needs. If you flash one, you don't like it, flash another.

If you read the Wiki you will see that you NEED to HardSPL before flashing a ROM. This is a must and I'm not sure where you're finding that it may be needed or not. Just HardSPL before you flash your ROM. And right now there's only 1 HardSPL, at least that I know of in this forum.

As for ROM naming/etc, go to the specific thread to find out more info. I understand the point about the overwheling messages that are here and many times there are just repeats of things that were answer before. However, everyone should take the time to read the sticky posts in the forum as they have very important information you need to know before you start messing with your device. I've been flashing ROMs for about a year now on my Tilt and recently move to the Fuze. A name as the one you referenced

"[ROM] [ENG] [READY!|15 NOV] ROMeOS² v1.40.1 (19974.1.2.8|STABLE", you should be able to figure most of it. It's a ROM, it's ENGlish, It's READY, release 15 Nov, and it's STABLE. The other info is specific to the person who releases it and you will find the info by reading the first 1-3 posts within the thread. What you wrote is the equivalent of reading something you don't have any idea about and you want to understand it all in the same sentence without doing some type of research. Not sure how that works. :)

The guys that releases these ROMs take their time to make sure all the necessary info for a specific ROM release is contain within the first 3 posts of a thread. It's the best place to gather all the info you need about a ROM.

Anyway, hope this helps you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] scotchua:
As has been said MANY times:

1) there is no BEST rom

2) there is no BEST radio

Each is measured subjectively based on your needs. Most of the information you need can be found in the threads related to HARDSPL, Radios, & the roms you're flashing.

Thread Closed.

[Asus Zenfone 9] tochmi:
In the official Asus store you have accessories and a RhinoShield screen protector:

https://www.asus.com/Accessories/Ca...inoShield-Impact-Protection-Screen-Protector/

Directly in the RhinoSield store you have it too:

https://shop.rhinoshield.io/shop/as...us-zenfone-9-screen-protector&type=front_only
[Asus Zenfone 9] NisseGurra:
The rhinos is plastic, not glass
[Asus Zenfone 9] tochmi:
A quick search on Aliexpress has given me this result:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_vqIIrt

The screen protector if they put it in their Asus store, will be what they recommend. The phone already comes with a plastic protector installed.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Adaoh:
The display looks to be the exact same as the zenfone 8's display, so I think its worth trying them out too

.
[Asus Zenfone 9] dragonii:
I confirm. Ordered the one is the Asus website, came marked for zenfone 8 and after contacting the company, they confirmed this is was also valid for the 9, which is the case after I installed.

Also ordered some cheap ones from aliexpress for reserve but I needed one now and not in a few months...
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
I have now this one from ali installed:

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004587109600.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.15ec5c5f39CZDw&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

It is much better and cheaper as rhinoshield (for 30€ + shipping its realy crap).

No sharp edges you can feel at swiping, no hole for cam wich only collects dirt + protection for the 2 main cams.

Took 3 weeks to ship to germany (use shipping with tracking).
[Asus Zenfone 9] einfachgaer:
Does the one from Ali stick on the whole surface or only the edges? Does the black border cover any pixels?

I would prefer a protector which sticks on the whole surface and has no black border, but its like playing roulette what you get in the end..
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
I would say it covers the hole surface. On top the speaker is free, sides and bottom is 1mm space. The black part doesnt cover any pixels. For 5-6$ just give it a try. As i say, much better as the one from asus shop/rhinoshield.
[Asus Zenfone 9] williamcll:
In Hong Kong, if you buy from Fortress they will include a glass screen protector as well.
[Windows 11] Rularick5:
Greetings and salutations my fellow developers. I come to you today with what is a tremendous thorn in my side. I am running a debloated win 10 enterprise with an AMD Ryzen 3 processor with integrated grapics. Looking at my task manager one day I noticed a program named explorer.exe that wasn't really that. I used all the anti-virus Anti-Malware programs I know. Nothing. So then I web searched and found hope. Alas, even the specific problem solving procedures didn't work. Even reinstalling windows, after a few wipes from Gparted did nada. Registry check , Sheila, eset, all nothing. Everytime I launch a program or do a restart, there it is. It's effecting everything. I've even wiped my 5tb external and lost a LOT. Nope, still there. Here's the thing: it shows up in the themes folder Everytime. If I delete that folder, we'll, bad. But I can't count how many times I've scanned my whole PC. Ugh. Please help, I use my computer for music production and I'm very stressed about this. Any thoughts? Thanks again my friends, I trust you all.
[Windows 11] SigmundDroid:
How about some linux CD to boot and then scanning it?

https://www.lifewire.com/free-bootable-antivirus-tools-2625785

But I am not up to date which one to use (before I switched to linux I used usually Kaspersky)... Also sysinternal could be helpful in investigating:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite

PS: Did you ever scan that particular program/file in virustotal? Perhaps it is supposed to be like that :unsure: I mean how to do you conclude it's bad?
[Windows 11] Rularick5:
Cool. I'll give that a try. So Kaspersky has a linux variant?

I have Ubuntu installed in wsl. Not sure if I can somehow align the planets and do it from there.
[Windows 11] SigmundDroid:
Well, basically you just burn an ISO onto a CD (thus you can be sure it's unchanged) and then boot it and scan your machine. And (at least back then) Kaspersky came with a nice big list of virus signatures.
[Windows 11] Rularick5:
Just so I know. What's virus total? And I'm positive it shouldn't be there. Everytime I open an executable, it creates an exact replica of it from whatever folder I launch it in. Only difference is its an exe.tmp. I'll try your advice when I reach home and let you know what I come up with. Humblest thanks..
[Windows 11] SigmundDroid:
VT is basically all scanners in one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirusTotal
[Windows 11] Rularick5:
U went with the Kaspersky iso and it took all night but I've finally got my computer back. I thank you kind sir 🙏 for your time and knowledge.
[Windows 11] SigmundDroid:
Whoa, good news! Glad to hear that!

I'd still wonder about the source of your troubles. Have you been able to find any pointers (logfile)? For example, those tools like kaspersky put such nasty files in a special folder (aka quarantine) for further inspection...
[Windows 11] Rularick5:
Well what I did was completly scan every file one each drive. It seems I downloaded an infected third party theme. Hence, the reason why it chose there to populate. Honestly I've never dealt with viruses so it scared me. I didn't pay attention to that but I have a laptop that it somehow jumped to. Once I do that one I'll attach photos.
[Windows 11] cleverdicky:
Hi, glad you sorted this. After reading your 1st post, I had a thought it might be a win 11 update, that had got blocked somehow and kept duplicating itself.

Thankfully it was just a virus. Win 11 would have caused you far more pain with far more serious damage
