I mean, if it activates forever and it doesn't deactivate when offline (aka it doesn't check some online servers or somthn to always make sure that you legit paid.), maybe someone could pay the 3 dollars, then share a backup of the "activated ROM" and that could work? If it doesn't, I suppose we'd need to find a smarter way to "crack" it.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
The activation is unique to each phone so if you share data it will not work.
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
Hmm, is the 30 minute trial exploitable? Can you reuse it multiple times or does it check your hardware ID or sth and prevents u to reuse it?
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
It should be possible to bypass that. Might be really easy or very hard, depending on how it was implemented. No special skill are required (except, maybe, basic C/C++ and Java knowledge), just time.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
You can use the phone multiple times, 30 minutes each time. You have to go to recovery and format the phone each time.
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
Could we possibly gain root fast and tinker/look around shiz? Possibly see how the activation works and how we could possibly remove/bypass it or the 30 minute timer?
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
Already try to offer hem 50 euros deal to release its here on forum but decline. Because then everbody can get it for free. Hes updating rom and sel already more then 3000 times thats why he wont sell it easy. If someone can crack this rom bypass it then its good news :)
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
I want to try this rom i im on global rom how to switch to china rom then install?
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
Yeah, that'd be awesome. I myself unfortunately don't have the phone, I thought about buying it at some point but ultimately decided against it (Because I don't really think I need all that powerful SoC to pay extra for) but still I feel like it is (obviously) the best value SD8G2 phone out there there and the fact that you can't install a custom ROM on it to avoid the chinese software bundled with it and have overall freedom is a shame, that's why I'd really want that to change at least with this ROM.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
I did gain root and look at the data saved by the apks but I could not find where is the data saved by the activation within the 30 minutes allowed. If I try to do that many times I might be able to find it but I do not want to spend that much time without knowing for sure I am on the right track.

By the way, once you have root after that you will keep the root even after the rom terminates after 30 minutes. The next time you boot up, the root is still there.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
You do not have to change to CN rom. I am from the global rom, I just extract the file, click on the bat file to install. I then wipe the data using both option then it boots.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
Just bootloader unlocked right? That all?
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
Yes, bootloader must be unlocked.
[Red Magic 8 pro] lookap86:
Hi, mind to share the your thoughts on the Miui rom? Google play store workable? good for daily use?
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
I just have 30 minutes to try the Miui rom so I do not know if it is good for daily use. You need to install Google play store, just the apk, and it works (I can download apks from playstore). It seems that this rom has all the functions of a regular Xiaomi phone with Miui rom. You can sign in to your Miui account but the restore function from cloud did not work.
[Red Magic 8 pro] lookap86:
Thank you for the sharing. It seems this Chinese developer managed to fixed a lot of stuff. Quite promising when looking into his ROM thread.
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
Welp, no updates to the custom ROM community? I mean hey, we at least got TWRP now, we should be able to recover from any silly "bricks" that result from the stock ROM f-ing up?
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
The kernel drivers are not yet fully published. Besides, most custom ROMs will have less features than stock.
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
You mean custom ROMs? Also huh, weren't they like supposed to publish them by law? Wdym by "not yet fully"?
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
Yes

Yes, but they haven't done this yet. Kernel with some drivers (i.e. triggers, game switch, fingerprint) is on github, but other drivers (i.e. display and camera) are not. While it's probably possible to run custom ROM with stock kernel, we'll still lose many functionality of the stock one.
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
Could you name some significant features we'd lose? 🤔
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
How about console mode? Haptics, LED and fan control would also have to be implemented from scratch, which is really a lot of work. I'm not sure if even fingerprint sensor will work without major code changes.

It's possible to implement all of that, but it's just too much for one person to do in any sane amount of free time.
[Red Magic 8 pro] SevastianXDA:
I don't have the phone myself, so can't know how significant those are, but if fan control and fingerprint don't work, seems rather unfortunate.

Curious, do they (well, at least fingerprint..?) work on that MIUI ROM?
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
Everything works on MIUI rom but wont share nothing. I got problems with Bluetooth sound AirPods i want higer sound but Android 13 wont me let use sound booster from play store somebody got a idea?? Please

Do you already have PayPal payment method? How to contact the author and buy it? Thanks.
[Red Magic 8 pro] kh.v:
When you install this miui rom, the rom will popup instructions to make donation to alipay. Be prepared! Otherwise it will loogut the rom and wipe all rom data

I dont promote for paid rom, please dont remove my post, i just show him, where to get, ít up to his decision

www.ccrom.cn/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=39&mobile=2
[Red Magic 8 pro] Titobibo:
I don't live in China so I can't use Alipay. I would like to confirm if there are other alternative payment methods available.
[Red Magic 8 pro] kh.v:
Oh, no, the author of this rom said to me that : paypal required company address and taxes to paid, so, he dont think he will make it available for paypal
[Red Magic 8 pro] borygo77:
Do you use PayPal @kh.v ?😉
[Red Magic 8 pro] kh.v:
i have paypal, but the author of this Miui14 ROM, dont, i cannot help you to pay him. It need the devices and same account with alipay to active on phone
[Red Magic 8 pro] borygo77:
Ah got it. Maybe some day we will have globally available roms for rm8 😒

[Red Magic 8 pro] ParaNoMal:
Fan and other things works or not works??
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
I did not test the fan.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ParaNoMal:
Hm.. Guess not works and gamemode is quit
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
I've built PA for our phone and need someone to test it.

Currently it's not even in a alpha state (this is why download link is not public), the only tested thing is recovery. It will most likely not work and I'll need logs, so knowledge how to record them is required. Be aware that recovery through EDL might be necessary to return back to stock (though just flashing stock images should be fine, but just in case). And it's recommended to make backups of all partitions (including persist).

PM me for download link and flashing instructions.

[Huawei Watch GT 3] puya_xeon:
Hi

I have a gt3 watch and i always see people installing apps on their watches

I'm in iran so i thought it may be because of sanctions

I changed my mi phone region to india and ukraine

And also the app gallery region but still can't install any apps

The error says

"No watches connected.pair a watch in health app"although watch is connected and paired and ecg and other stuff working

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] zanst1234:
Hi

i really like to swap to using a sony phone.. and recently there's been a lot of promoting for second hand sonys and they're relatively very cheap... there's xperia 5 mark 3 for only 230 usd... but the catch is they're Docomo variant and i asked around , they don't get much love...

my question is are they that bad (docomo)? and why so cheap

problems with updates or stuff...
[Sony Xperia 5 III] bentree:
Docomo is Japanese variant (SO-53B). I also believe that SO-53B is network locked and also the bootloader cannot be unlocked either. I'm also not sure but it's possible that the hardware for the radio is slightly different too. Can't say for sure tho.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] zanst1234:
do you think that they don't perform as well as the other variants?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] bentree:
I think the hardware difference is down to the NFC setup as japan uses a few different forms of tap to pay. Not so much bad performance but you are stuck with the carrier supplied firmware and Japan carriers have a poor reputation for regular updates.
[OnePlus 11R (Ace 2)] BBOY59144005:
As title said, just wandering to know that is there anyone who did convert to Oxygen os by this version (CN 12gb ram/256gb) successfully?

Is it possible or not, coz I know this version is not listed on 11R.

Thx.

i had a question. what was the spare parts application on the market before and why did it get pulled. also i was wondering if anyone can modify droidsans tweak tools lite so we can change the APN settings for US users. i use to be able to turn off the 3g completely to save battery (rather than only downgrading to 2g). i asked him to put it back and he said he would on next update but i was bummed when he didn't :(

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] fran6325:
So I installed this ROM which apparently was ported from a Galaxy A71 for One UI 5.0 and I can't get past this thing that says it switched to Dual SIM mode. I've already tried formatting, reflashing the ROM and almost everything but I don't know what to do now. My model is A505G btw, and it is Dual SIM (the SIM tray has 3 slots)

I ended up installing another One UI 5 ROM as I literally found no way to fix it and I don't have time as this is my main phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] SpaceGuy2000:
Hey there! Sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation. Have you tried reaching out to the developer or community forum where you got the ROM? They might have some specific troubleshooting steps for your model.

By the way, I’m new on this forum and I recently came across Simify, which seems like a great solution for travelers. If you're ever in need of a flexible eSIM plan, you can check compatibility and buy instantly delivered plans that fit your needs. It could be worth exploring while you're troubleshooting your phone!

Hope you find a solution soon!
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] gunnerfan16:
Hello,

I am looking for a cheap Android stick which runs Android 11 or 12 (not Android TV but the normal Android meant for phones/tablets). All the Android sticks on Alibaba seem to run only Android TV OS.

There were such products way back in 2014, have a look at this link https://www.laptopmag.com/android-sticks. However I am unable to find any products now, looked on Alibaba, Amazon etc. I found 1 product on Alibaba but it runs Android 4 Kitkat. I am looking for Android 11/12.

Or is there a way to flash normal Android on Android TV boxes?

i'm trying to use a gsi rom on my phone (Oppo A5s) but apparently i can't use my fingerprint reader + face unlock + dt2w

when i googled for a moment i found out that the gsi rom kinda reads the drivers from the vendor partiton because that's what treble is

so i thought maybe if i could edit the vendor to like make it readable for the gsi so it can recognize my hardware

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kemanpana:
Pixel 6 pro, had it for like 3 months and this is getting outrages, fingerprint sometimes not working, phone buggy as hell, always over heating over the most basic of task, the battery life is mediocre compared to other phones of the same size and price, so many bugs like camera dot being turned upside down, things not loading and now?? None of the Chargers are charging the phone after the January update. Like not even the pixel 30W adapter and cable will charge it. Like what is this crap, $1200 CAD phone and it barely works and runs on an operating system that runs worse than window Vista. I thought Google had standards but clearly this phone is such a giant letdown, I could go on and on about all the problems this phone has and now the simplest of task can't even be accomplished by it, it can't even charge with a OEM cable and adapter and needs to be restarted 3 times a day when the system bugs out. I have never had such an awful experience with a phone and the pixel 6 pro just proves Google is incapable of making an actual flagship phone. I won't even start with my pixel buds 2 and how bad they are always disconnecting, every time one side earbud dies before the other even hits 90%. I've had enough of Google. It's been out for like 3-4 months and they still can't even fix this. Imagine if they focused on the phone with the same effort they do in the ads department.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TheMystic:
As with your phone, have you tried a factory reset?

Your ear buds have gone bad. I had the same problem with my Sony wf-1000xm4 and Sony acknowledged it was a problem caused by a software update. I got mine replaced under warranty after almost a year.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I get you. I've felt like crushing the phone into bits with my hands, or snapping it in half.

But windows 11 for me is the same. My pixel watch etc. I think technology as a whole just isn't a user friendly experience

I got a Samsung a34 5G. Same. It's like the manufacturers of devices conform to deliberately build tech to screw up.

But having said all that, android Z is about 4-5 years away, and with enough people complaining about stuff not working, I think things will need to evolve
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
how did you get fricked over so badly with the price you paid for it - 1200 cad for a pixel 6 pro in feb 2023? you got ripped off, i got mine for the equivalent of 940 cad in june 2022

I've paid 350$ and i think that I'm ripped off

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
I came from a oneplus 7 pro /8 5G about 2 years ago and it was a tough transition admittedly. However, I have to say that I've come to find this thing to be both versatile and quite resilient. I put it through hell and it only costs 30 bucks to replace the screen on Google's $9 protection plan. And thanks to the work of the development community, I enjoy a lot of cool features and privacy protection. After hearing about Google's plan for dashcam (supposably, you'll be able to user pixel as a dash cam via the safety app) I will give serious consideration to Pixel 8 Pro.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I was a bit harsh in my statement about modern tech's shortcomings.

With AI manifesting itself daily into most applications I think things will change. I rooted my a34 and it is a little less powerful than the 6pro, with just 6gb of ram.

The pixel 6 pro isn't a bad phone, I was just having a bad day when I posted that. 😑
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] D0n Quix0te:
The battery life on it is horrible. the other day i went outside at 12pm or so with 100% battery on 1080p resolution and 60hz refresh rate. After coming back to home at 8:30pm, it was 10% with only 2:38 hours SOT. I was shocked. strangely on full settings it gives me 5 hours SOT max, not more, which is still pretty mediocre for a 5000 mAh flagship battery. I am looking to sell it. If it doesn't get sold well then i am definitely switching to another brand next year.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
custom kernel time, kirisakura fixed my battery life
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimwebb:
I have been really liking this phone for a while now, even though the battery life is not great at all and yes, it does overheat from time to time (video calls in particular), but this AOD bug is driving me crazy. Just started in the last couple weeks for me. The display will simply go black (usually later at night for me) and I can't wake it up. The AOD goes off completely and tapping the screen will not turn it on. I have to use the power button.

A reboot will fix this in many cases, but not always. Sometimes I have to go into Developer Options and turn off the phone sensors, reboot and then turn them back on. This is such a pain and have to do it every day. And no, I'm not going to factory reset the phone and I know if I contact Google support that will be their go to to "fix" this obvious software bug.

I think the future for tech will be great, but it's not quite there yet.

I think AI will help speed up productivity. I often get so frustrated, and I am very interested in tech.

Imagine how people who aren't really into it, and don't know much about, or don't have the time to really use it must feel. Like, in the time it takes me to fix a f*** up on a device, I could've been focusing on my productivity. Tech, including smartphones has a way to go imo.

As someone who's been through the entire internet build and who helped build the initial BindD/NameD (AKA DNS), and 30 years as a developer/senior system architect/engineer, I can say, I agree. There's a LOT more to go with mobile processing and mobile compute but think how far we've come in just 2 decades!! We went from nothing and dark (dumb phones), to always online, incredible things are still coming?! We're just touching the tip of the iceberg and it's already awesome, yet there's incredible things still to come! I've spent my ENTIRE career in IT, from age 19 through 49 (current age). I for one, hope I'm alive long enough to see mobile compute evolve into where it's headed, INSANE processing with unimaginable software to come! Every day, processing becomes more and more powerful and we've already bypassed the threshold of compute to operations (meaning we've surpassed what was foreseen in the initial tech boom), so imagine what will happen in another 10/20 years?!?! I can't wait, we will be flying through space on our androids! We have a lot of cool things yet to be invented and yet to be perfected but it's COMING!

Aside from the Crapple thinking that's out there with most idiots (thinking prestige means more than cost or usability), it's the main reason I use android. Pure cutting edge development, with the absolute latest software, and it's FREE (why would ANYONE PAY for something LESS - AKA CRAPapple)?! Especially with AOSP, this gives us devs the freedom to build whatever we want, and for the life of me, I CANNOT understand why ANYONE would use closed source "me too" devices called apple! It's just dumb in my opinion!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I agree. I just wish the OEMs would provide more context as to why a program produces the error, for tech enthusiast, but not Devs, like me.

I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure Google, Microsoft etc aren't focusing enough on a user friendly experience with "their" software / devices

Really, the potential is there for software to be more hardware friendly, including faulty hardware (as in software playing nice with faulty components) and I just wish the big tech didn't expect average users, like me, to be genius' to figure out where the error is coming from.

Btw, I'm getting an iPhone 14 pro next month (fingers crossed)
