Is there any downside on any Custom ROM? like missing VoLTE, no double tap to sleep/wake, and stuff? Also how's root hiding situation right now? My last phone was so problematic, so I am pretty out dated about rooting & custom ROM scene in general.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] HARDWELL919:
The only thing that's really a downside is no dolby vision support everything else you either have in the rom itself or you can get it via root. And I have zero clue about root hidding. I am fortunate enough that my bank app doesn't detect root. All the features will work as long as you flash the latest global firmware before flashing the custom rom. Hope this helps. I recommend either crDroid SparkOS or EvoX
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
VoLTE/WoFifi works (SparkOS), but maybe you will need to download "Advanced PDC tool" and switch mobile carrier from default to your country to enable it.

Hiding root is in-built feature in Magisk (use in-built Magisk hide and change package name). It worked nice on my old phone and works now. Just make sure that you click on the app you want to hide for her root, expand it and tick all marks (by default not always all are ticked, like for Revolut).

Double tap to sleep does not work for me on latest SparkOS (and it's common issue), but confirmed that worked on another POCO F4 phone (I'm dirty, he clean flash, maybe it's reason). On another ROMs I tested before it always worked.

been using since December SparkOS rom, I'm finding it good, excellent for daily use.

i needed the magisk module to activate call recording, which doesn't always work.

and you need to keep disabled "Mi Sound Enhancer" for bluetooth audio.

I've not tested any room for F4 but from my experience with other phones, your loosing camera quality and general stability. My last time with a custom ROM was PE on a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. Stock MIUI isn't perfect but I do like taking pictures here and there, with PE custom ROM I couldn't cause either the stock camera app sucked or gcam ports were buggy, to the point that taking a picture could crash the phone, had to manually force shutdown.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxneo:
Dear reader,

I'm looking at buying a screen for an old S6 (G920F). I cracked the original AMOLED when attempting a charging port PCB replacement. A shame, but that is a common occurrence with this repair attempt. Mainboard still works and it charges the battery now that I have connected the new charging port PCB. I has previously run and functions fine, but could only wireless charge with 5W, which took forever. Hence my repair attempt.

This is not a daily driver, but it would be nice to have it as a backup phone. I am not going to spend $130 on a replacement screen though, so I am looking at several listings on Aliexpress ($30-40). This includes:

- used but burned-in screens (different classes, either white and blue only or also with red burn-in for cheaper ones)

- listed as original (but probably also used)

- listed as new replacement (likely knockoff screens)

All in the same price class.

All will include frame and digitizer + charging PCB, I'm not risking another cracked AMOLED.

Some are clear on their description on being used burned-in screens, but some are not.

I reckon I can't post direct URLs to their listings here, but in case you want to check it out, most are in the top 10 range when arranged by no. of sales.

Does anyone have any experience buying these type of screens off Aliexpress?

In my opinion, the burned-in listings seem most honest and have highest chance of actually being an original screen, instead of a knockoff. I'm cautious about listings that state 'new' or 'replacement' without any mention of burn-ins etc. for that last reason.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrysopra:
Why don't you check your local market for defective phones?

Of course, most phones have cracked screens, but with a little patience you may find a bootlooping one or with FRP, no service...

That will surely beat the 30-40 $ of Aliexpress, not to mention possible inconvenience with delivery times (in China Corona-lockdowns are still very popular) and customs.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxneo:
I have, but there are not that many listings. Most that are, do not state the reason for their defect.

Secondly, it would still be nice to get some answers on the primary question, as it could provide insight on this topic for future scenarios.

Regarding the Ali conditions and circumstances, I have yet to encounter any issues with recent shipments (be it customs or their lockdown protocol. Plus, they often include some kind of warranty (whatever little value it has, still better than none when bought directly second-hand).

Thank you for your reply!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXx yYy:
I would look at Amazon for refurbished phones, never buy something at AliExpress

Amazon.com : refurbished phones
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxneo:
Update: sharing experience

After many comparisons between vendors, I took a gamble and purchased from one of them that seemed the most straightforward and descriptive. This particular vendor lists them as original AMOLED LCDs with burn-ins, divided into two types: one with only white and blue burn-in shadows and a lower tier with heavier shadows in blue and white, but also red burn-in shadows. I opted for the white and blue only, as it was only a few dollars more (±30 USD total).

Positives:

I received the package within 6 days. The received screen is almost without shadows, barely noticeable (but I might have been lucky in receiving a particularly good salvaged screen). This screen was a fully assembled screen, including the LCD frame, front glass screen and charging port. The front glass screen was new (no scratches whatsoever) and I suspect also a new charging port. Touch, brightness, charging, capacitive buttons, home button and the fingerprint scanner work without issues. Screen resolution is reported at the original 1440 x 2560 pixels (testmyscreen) and looks like it too.

Negatives:

Unfortunately, not enough or no adhesive has been applied between the front glass and the LCD screen, resulting in gaps. When fully assembled, the screen sticks out from the body frame. Dust and dirt can now directly enter inbetween the front glass screen and LCD screen. When pressed together by hand, it closes the gap and doesn't stick out anymore. So I'll be attempting to apply some adhesive (strip) myself at some point (although I'm not sure how and what yet).

Also, the home button isn't aligned properly (poor assembly), and kinda sits askew and recessed in the screen. Closing the aforementioned gap mosltly solves this issue.

Looking at the reviews and photos from other buyers, it seems that my issue hasn't occurred yet with others, or at least to this extent. I'm not returning it though.

Overall conclusion:

If the original or alternative OE screens are wayyy too expensive, you might want to consider this option besides refurbished phones or 'sold for parts'. Especially if it's not a particularly critical device (for me it was just to have a functioning backup-backup phone), but still useful enough that it's worth the investment to avoid it becoming E-waste. Buyer beware though, as you will have to put some time in researching the vendors, check out the listed burn-in type options and filter trough the reviews (with photos).

Update 2:

I have painstakingly applied some TESA 61395 2mm tape inbetween the gaps. This has helped, enough for it not to protrude as much for it to be a problem. It is, however, not completely dust-tight due to the manual application (tiny cut-to-size pieces).

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] akeishan:
Hi guys,

I have a freshly rooted Xiaomi Redmi 4x with Havoc OS 4.16 installed, which is based on android 11 and Pixel 5.

Thus, this is a question about Pixel 5's UI even if the phone is not a pixel 5 :) ( it does appear as one in Google Play Store).

I noticed when I install an app, the automatically generated home screen shortcut is created not on the home screen but on the next one to the right. The more I think of it, the more I realize this might be in fact a good design idea, because the user might want to keep the main home screen clean and under his/her control. However, for the sake of it, is there a setting to tell the UI to create new shortcuts on the main screen instead? I looked in the settings but could not find it.

I do know I can move them, no issue in that.

Edit. This might be the wrong forum though, 'cos I just read Havoc OS uses Material Design 2 UI.

"Havoc-OS 4.x is based on AOSP, inspired by Google Pixel. Has a refined Material Design 2 UI crafted by @SKULSHADY".

I don't suppose Google Pixel 5 uses this UI.

If that's the case, I kindly ask a mod to DELETE this. Thanks!

Hello ,

I have installed crdroid 12.1-20221118-cepheus-v8.11 rom on my mi9. Actually everything works very well but there are problems with the battery.

When the phone is about 50% charged, it just goes off and i have to put it on the charger. only then does it come back on after a few minutes. I have already installed a new battery, but the problem still exists. Can it be due to the Rom?

Greetings schui

Hallo ,

Ich habe auf meinem mi9 das crdroid 12.1-20221118-cepheus-v8.11 rom installiert. Eigentlich funktioniert alles sehr gut, aber es gibt Probleme mit dem Akku.

Wenn das Telefon etwa zu 50 % geladen ist, geht es einfach aus und ich muss es an das Ladegerät hängen. erst dann geht es nach ein paar minuten wieder an. Ich habe bereits eine neue Batterie eingebaut, aber das Problem besteht immer noch. Kann es am Rom liegen?

I use this battery. Quality seems good, tools for replacement were included. My battery lasts much longer now. You need the BM3L battery. I have the 4,000 mAh variant 😄 I ordered it via Ali Express. The battery was delivered much faster than delivered. I would not buy a new original battery again. The original batteries are mostly from 2019 and therefore already old and don’t last much longer. It was like that for me as well. So then a new one from Nohon

at these prices all manufacturers are about the same (all units have fake android and real is android 8.1), see who has the best device features, the best support, for example by looking at buyer comments on aliexpress or here on the forum, also see if you want a bigger 10 inch screen, see if you want a higher resolution screen from 1024 x 600

Can you also send to me? I'm trying to root my Revvl 6 with Mtkclient on mac. I have the GUI showing but can't get it to detect my phone
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] _hollywood_:
It's starting to look like I need to put together a guide...

I don't know how to do this on a mac. And I didn't like using the GUI on mtkclient, it would recognize the device but sometimes wouldn't connect.

I suggest you download the liveDVD from the mtkclient readme (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient), put it on a bootable usb stick and run it from there. This is the setup that worked best for me, better than on windows anyway.

Also, read this (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/issues/79). The REVVL 6 Pro 5G has an A/B setup, and unlocking it is not really explained in the current readme. Basically, you need to find out what slot you are booting from (boot_a or boot_b) and flash accordingly. Don't flash both slots, if something goes wrong you might want a slot to fall back to.

From adb do:

adb reboot fastboot

wait for your phone to boot into fastboot mode, and then:

fastboot getvar current-slot

That should tell you what your current slot is.

In order to get mtkclient to connect I booted into the liveDVD opened up the terminal and entered

python mtk r boot boot.img

It will keep looping, looking for your device and give you time to get your REVVL 6 Pro connected with the right button combo (start with power off, then volume down & plug in usb). When it connects a bunch of information will scroll down the screen. It will look for a "boot" partition but won't find one and will show an error, this is ok though. It's connected and you can begin flashing to your hearts content.

IMPORTANT!

Before you go any further make a backup with:

python mtk rl out

This will dump all partitions to a folder "out" on the computer. Save this somewhere, it is your backup.

You may not want to back up the entire userdata partition (it's huge and may take 4 hours to copy, thanks to @threeeye see post 14 below) so when it gets to that you can hit control+c to stop and then backup any remaining partitions manually with this format:

If you don't want to backup userdata folder then try this:

python mtk rl out --skip userdata

Back up individual partitions with this:

python mtk r partitionToBackup partitionName.bin

example: python mtk r vbmeta_a vbmeta_a.bin

The information for unlocking and rooting is in the links above.

Make a backup

BEFORE

you unlock and root!
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] androidn00b11:
Thanks _hollywood_. I got the slot (b), but am not able to get mtk to find the device, it continues to loop. Any tips of figuring out the "right button combo"?
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] _hollywood_:
Start with the device off and unplugged from the computer, then hold the volume down button while you plug in the usb. I'm not 100% sure now if that's the correct combo, it's been a while since I did it. If that doesn't work maybe try holding the vol up and plugging in the usb?... but I think that takes you into recovery.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] atsalchenberg:
I've been trying different GSIs and found CRdroid runs best, with fewest errors, but I'm not able to make calls, and only sometimes send / recieve mms. Maybe I got something wrong with the phh treble settings? I'm having those issues regardless what GSI I flash.
