[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Lei.Diya.Adolf:
Hello Alcatraz,

Happy new year!

Thank you so far for developing and maintaining a latest Android ROM for Razer Phone 2.

I've some questions that I hope I could get some advice from you.

There has been an update, yet this thread is now marked discontinued. Does it mean this ROM will no longer be updated and/or supported? Wonder if LineageOS would be a decent alternative? Don't know if it has Razer specific features working?

Unfortunately, I've lost the Magisk root of this ROM, IIRC, since the update after 20230812-0935, or maybe earlier. After that, I tried Magisk versions from 25.2 to latest, after flashing boot.img they all booted, but Magisk Zygisk not detected and not work.

I've searched online but not found any direct discussion on this, nor have I found any discussion group, and can't find any way to root this device now. That makes migration of Apps kinda PITA, wonder if it could be helped in any way?

EDIT 2024-03: I flashed latest 27001 kitsune mask patched boot.img. After that I clicked the old remnant cqh.rx setting, it auto downloaded 25200 official magisk manager and I regained root. Now dont know why somehow kitsune mask manager and official manager both work at the same time.

--------

BTW, when I used Razer Phone 2 with stock ROM (both 8.1 MR2 and 9.0 SMR7) it seems to somehow incompatible with my PC USB (AMD X399, both rear and front USB ports), either not charged and detected, or just charged much less than how much battery had drained, even RP2 was just idling meanwhile.

But same hardware, it is not the case for this ROM. Provided I'm not using phone (then screen, CPU and mobile all drain battery), it always charges quickly enough. Even when it is USB tethering, used as a mobile modem.

Again unfortunately, some updates after 20230812-0935 it seems overcharged RP2. Battery swollen and back cover bulged up, while I was leaving the before setting 'step charging' and 'Always connected mode' off. (because, 'step charging' might not gain power enough if I was using phone; 'Always connected mode' sounds leading to much more frequent charging-discharging.) (So maybe back before this ROM still charged slowlier than now but quicklier than stock one)

After that I plugged off the phone for a while. Weirdly enough, later, I turned these two options on, after months, to now, the phone's bulge disappeared...

So this is not an ask for help, but just wondering for why. Are there any reasons behind all these?

How do you format to f2fs when using the PE Recovery?

EDIT:

So i just realized that after factory reset and installing the update via recovery, my /etc/fstab shows

aura:/ # cat /etc/fstab

Will this project move to Android 14?

I'll hold off on switching to Lineage if we know an updated PE is in the works
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myew:
I don't believe so, as I've just done that unwittingly thinking it would be fine with no warnings and after several hours of attempts and research believe that I have bricked my device.

Any help would be appreciated. It did not boot back into Pixel Experience, I ended up in a bootloop/at the bootloader which is locked. I cannot get into the OS to unlock it, but I do have access to the Pixel Recovery. However, trying to sideload Pixel Experience again through ADB has not worked. I'm not sure if there is a way to sideload the stock Razer firmware using ADB. It's been a long time since I've messed with custom roms and I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to commands.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
Try plugging in your usb cable and running

fastboot flashing unlock

while on the bootloader screen?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
@Alcatraz323 has previously mentioned working on Android 14, however I can't be certain if that's still the case. Android 14 has been slow as jhenrique, one of the main people behind the project has started taking a backseat on PE. Personally, I'm going to wait until the end of the year before I consider swapping roms, PE has been way too good for me to go back to stock android or another skin.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
Would not recommend doing that, you could brick your device. I assume the issue is something to do with Google changing SafetyNet requirements in some way. Most likely, this kind of issue will be fixed in Android 14 when the update eventually releases for PE.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myew:
The bootloader is locked. I can't unlock it via fastboot, flash images from fastboot, or boot into PE in order to unlock it from the developer menu.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
Can you tell me about the error when trying to flash images from fastboot? Perhaps try flashing one of the images here, they're directly from Razer, so you might be able to revert to stock from here:

https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/

I assume the process would be getting to PE recovery, choosing to sideload the zip, and praying.

adb -d sideload filename.zip

If that works, from there you'd be free to oem unlock and then install PE again.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myew:
I have tried flashing the oldest and newest Razer Phone 2 firmware, but sadly (stupidly) Razer does not allow flashing oem firmware while the bootloader is locked. I tried sideloading PE and Lineage zips through the PE recovery, which switched it to Lineage recovery (looks exactly the same aside from logo), but neither are able to get past the bootloader when starting the phone. I did not use the -d command however, I'm not familiar with what that does. It's also unable to sideload the factory image when I placed it into a zip because it doesn't have the meta-inf? folder if I recall correctly, it's been a few days since I tried.

I know it's ultimately my fault for locking the bootloader after installing a custom ROM, assuming that it would be fine like it shows in the guide to flashing the stock ROM, but I never saw any warning against doing that in any of the guides for custom ROMs that I looked into. Really sucks that Razer is happy to allow this awesome phone be turned into ewaste for one mistake.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myew:
Trying to use the flash all for the Razer firmware results in this error for every command.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
I've seen the command

fastboot oem unlock-go

floating around, maybe give that a shot.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myew:
Nothing. Razer uses these commands for unlocking.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] waffleboi9000:
Can you walk me through the specific steps you took?

Also what is visible when you hold power and volume down?
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Myew:
Specific steps for which part?

Volume Down + Power goes to the bootloader/fastboot menu, Volume Up + Power goes to Recovery (Lineage). I tried sideloading Pixel Experience again through the Apply Update > Apply from ADB using -d, but now since it switched the recovery to Lineage when I tried sideloading Lineage to see if that would boot, it won't let me sideload PE now because it's an 'older' version of Android than Lineage, if I understand it correctly. I didn't intend to flash the Lineage recovery, but it overwrote the recovery when I sideloaded the entire ROM. After sideloading that again on both slot A and B, it still won't boot to the ROM. If I could just get it to boot back into something and enable unlocking from developer options...

In the PE/Lineage recovery, there is an Enable ADB option which is different from ADB sideload, adb devices lists it as recovery. I've been trying to learn if there are any options to enable unlocking the bootloader from ADB recovery, but thus far no luck.
[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ELFswe:
Is it worth flashing the phone with the latest version?

I'm on 20240101, wich is the update just before the f2fs update.

Banking verification app wich is used here works. Though I wonder if they might have updated the app so that it might be a problem adding my ID again.

I'm having problem getting it to work on my backup phone. The ROM for that phone sais everything is working.

Is there a way?

I find it annoying that I can't use the speaker to do this...don't want to carrry around headphones all the time!
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
Get some old headphones/earphones that you would never use again.

Chop off the connector, and just leave that part plugged in.

That should be enough to trick the X1... but I dont know how your radio reception will be lol.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ram-E:
There's a good reason why you have to have headphones for the radio to work...

Any cable with an earphone plug on the end like a 'line-in' works fine and gives an equal reception to earphones.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] DIEGO LITTLELION:
Hello everyone!

I recently bought the Samsung A33 5G, but I'm having battery problems and I don't know what it could be.

Using, for example, WhatsApp or Twitter I spend approximately 3% every 5 minutes using Wifi and with the brightness at 20%.

I have monitored the battery with apps like Battery Guru and AccuBattery but I have not seen anything strange. I have also tried to wipe the cache partition from the recovery and repair the apps but it has not improved either. I've also disabled battery optimization (seen it on reddit and some have found it helpful) but it still doesn't get any better. I replaced the phone but the problem persists.

Somebody can help me?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ze7zez:
Battery consumption is strongly dependent on the size and type of screen, services used, distance from the GSM mast. There is a long way to go to get your phone to use less battery. For starters, try using a Wi-Fi connection for a while, without using GSM. The next step is to turn off LTE/5G and stay on a slow but less draining 2G/3G battery.

By the way, disable unnecessary services with Debloat Tool, mainly updates and sending notifications by applications that you do not need.

I'm moving from a Pixel 4a to the 6 and it feels like a good time to have a change of launcher.

Been using nova 6 but it seems to be getting more buggy. I didn't move to 7 as I didn't want to lose persistent notification badges.

I like a simple homescreen with icons (no search bar!) And persistent badges.

Closest I have found is Microsoft launcher, but persistent badges are not a thing. I really want these, at least in a unified mail app, SMS and WhatsApp.

Did anyone ever work out a solution after Google changed the permission rules (leading to the demise of Tesla unread)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
I am on Nova 7.0.57 and my badges work. I just turned on the setting and I got two emails and it showed a 2 on the icon.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spoony777:
But if you now clear the notification , or open the email app and 1 email, does the badge clear or does it display as 1?

I didn't know there was an 8! So are notifications back to the good old days of 6 (ie dismissing the notification bar doesn't remove the unread count)? Great if so 😀

Hello guys, so as title says. I am still using my non unlocked bootloader Xperia XZ3 for EU and dual sim card version.

Was thinking to update to some new nice fresh version.

But I am not sure which one to take.

1/ Stay on the stock Android 10 and use it as always till today?

2/ I saw Sony released some libraries for Android 11 ? Is there some official Android 11 version for XZ3 ?

3/ Go the good old Lineage ROM way ?

Thank you guys for your tips and suggestions.

Mod edit - translated by https://www.deepl.com/translator

Hello, I have just received the Pixel 6a from the Google Store. Already upgraded to Android 13 without any problems. Seems like a good device, disappointed only by the charging time. I recharged from scratch and only after 2 hours 30' did the Pixel reach full charge (with a 22W Huawei charger: 4.5V-5A). Does the situation improve with time, or does it need a new charger? Is it worth buying the Google original (up to 30W)?

***********************

Salve, da Google Store mi è appena arrivato il Pixel 6a. Già effettuato upgrade a Android 13 senza alcun problema. Mi sembra un buon dispositivo, deluso solo dai tempi di ricarica. Ho ricaricato da zero e solo dopo 2 ore e 30' il pixel ha raggiunto la ricarica completa (con un caricabatterie Huawei da 22W: 4.5V-5A). La situazione migliora con il tempo o serve un nuovo caricatore per migliorare i tempi? Vale la pena acquistare l'originale (fino a 30W) di Google?

Pixels charge with standard USB PD (Power Delivery) chargers. Any USB PD charger which does 18 W or more will work with a Pixel 6a. The brand does not matter. If you're buying a new one, try to find one which also supports USB PPS (Programmable Power Supply).

How fast it charges depends on the battery level. It will charge very fast from 0-50% (maybe 40 minutes), then slow down as it gets closer to 100%. That is better for the battery. 2 hours total sounds about right.
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
I'd recommend the newest gen of smaller and powerful chargers using GaN tech...oh also more efficient as well. I future proofed plus pre to have a lil more than needed just in case. Save 4 charge cables 2 help ensure a quick charge. I use Anker GaN Chargers 60W w/Type C and 2 UsbTypeA and usually pick 1 above rec./min. in cables...got a 60w C-C that ALSO can do high speed data xfers as well to my desktop over Usb 3.1+, the better the cable the faster the charge and xfer speed. Also like uGreen power/data cables, lil le$$ but still decent cables.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Charging is garbage. 18W charger I'm getting maximum 8W. 45W charger getting 18W at some points. Charging speed also severely limited when battery at 38c+, throttling down to 5W.
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
I'd hope so, for the sake of the battery. The rest is meaningless without context. I see 16+ W charging when under 50% with a room temperature battery.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Context being regardless of %. Eg, at bottom as well as the top. Charging is terrible on this phone. Since when is a battery the same temp as a room when it's charging? Never, in my experience, unless you've got the phone on ice or sitting in a frigid room. Regardless,what I'm saying is with a typical 18W charger it charges like crap. With PD 45W it does much better but still extreme throttling when 37c+.
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
Nah. It's just you.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Nah it's you. Lol battery charging at room temperature. 😂
[Google Pixel 6a] Bill720:
How about, instead of mutual "nah, it's you"s, we try to consider other possible variables (gauge of the cable wiring, setting, defective power supply, etc.)? @mike.s is seeing up to 16 watts, but @damian5000 reports no more than 8. Nevermind the fact that it's not necessarily a race, and those are both impressive numbers that are allowing a gargantuan battery to recharge remarkably quickly.
[Google Pixel 6a] Deleted member 6200352:
Question: Despite all the wiz-bang wow of super-duper xxWatt charging, does charging at a slow and low output have any benefit for the life of the device/battery?

I have my [other] phone set to not charge over 75%. And I almost always change it via a usb 2.0 port which takes 2-3 hours. Takes forever and I take for granted as I don't wan't to flood the battery with electrons and slowly kill the battery. Am I silly?
[Google Pixel 6a] batp:
Yes, lower amps are better for the battery. I trickle charge my car battery at 2amps even though my charger can do 10/20/40.

So i received a american pixel 4 xl with a locked bootloader. imei starting with 35

i was able to unlock the bootloader here is the steps i took, note im in Australia.

Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

the firmware on the device was american,

i flashed my countrys firmware (australian) optus/telstra/vodaphone etc

use adb side load *firmware.zip*

factory reset , booted device on with australian sim,

and boom oem was available ,

(last step is to adb reboot bootloader,

and ./fastboot flashing unlock and you will see a message on pixel.

intially with the Original firmware on the device it would not unlock.. i tried factory reset

/ fastboot flashing unlock etc and it would not work...

anyhoo i have not seen anything on here suggested flashing another firmware origin so i thought this might help those with locked at&t / verison carriers, intially it was GREYED OUT AND SAID contact carrier or connect to the internet.

Hope this helps someone ! as all the forums ive swiped thru have said this is not do-able, lol turns out it is.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
The firmware does not determine whether the bootloader is unlockable.

When the device connects to the Internet, it checks its IMEI against a whitelist on Google's servers. If it has been authorized for bootloader unlock, OEM Unlocking will become available.

If it doesn't, it's likely that you have a locked variant.
