[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
There are only certain LOS builds that work with this device, you're wasting your time if you are blindly flashing random ones.

Refer to earlier posts to confirm which ones do work. And like @lewmur just reported the newest build 20300507 bgN does flash successfully
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] mrspeccy:
The 20230507 bgN was actually the first build I tried before I went to older variants, including the 20220814 bgN that is mentioned in a different thread.

@lewmur : Did you do a clean flash and format data before you installed the 20230507 build on the CWD2 firmware? There might be some issues with format data and the TWRP 3.7.0-12.2 from this forum (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-7-0-for-2021-galaxy-tab-a8-10-5-sm-x200.4488691/) on the latest kernel. After I format data in TWRP, the tablet is recognized as writable media in Windows, but I get reading and writing errors when I try to access the about 22 GB large partition.

I know that it is impossible to roll back the bootloader to revision 1, but may it be possible that I extract and flash a kernel from the X200XXS1CWA3 to further investigate this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You must do a clean flash. The purpose of formatting the data partition is to get rid of the encryption. TWRP can't handle the encryption. And LOS will re-encrypt it the first time you boot to system. As to extracting the kernel from CWA3, I don't advise doing that. It could hard brick the tablet.

Two days ago i washed my pants because i stepped in poison oak and in my caution to keep from further exposing myself to the poison i forgot to remove my phone from my pocket.

When i pulled it out it looked totally ****ed. the back plate flew off and the screen was shattered senseless. I wrote it off, but just in case, i left it out to dry and didn't try to start it (i've heard that this can cause shorts to an otherwise undamaged waterlogged phone). Today i booted the thing and everything except the digitizer (touch screen) works. Holy **** are these things durable (minus the glass screen). anyhow the point of my post was to marvel at the fact that these phones are practically waterproof and the part of the screen that breaks can (hopefully) be replaced for $13. Amazing.

[Google Pixel 7] xda-eh:
How does the Pixel 7 with Tensor G2 have worse performance than the Pixel 6a with Tensor (according to NanoReview)?
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
Like all things there are tradeoffs. With the 7 you have more ram, faster refresh rate, etc. As for worse performance, your statement makes it sound like the 6a blows the 7 out of the water. It was a pretty marginal difference and I suppose the trade off is more features, and more stability for the 7. I'd rather have stability over some specs that look good on paper yet doesn't manifest itself in a noticeable way. IMO
[Google Pixel 7] xda-eh:
But isn't Tensor 2 supposed to be better than the original one?
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
What is the Tensor G2 SoC on the Google Pixel 7 series? How is it different from the Tensor G1?

Tensor G2 is the SoC of the Google Pixel 7 series, but it differs in a few ways from its predecessor. Pretty much all of them are big.

Purchased an amazon fire tv series 4, 55" TV about a year ago. a couple of weeks ago there was an update the tv auto installed. After the instal the tv will now just display the Fire TV logo then power off and back on. Tried a factory reset and it still doing the repeated reboot loop. I can start it in the google recovery menu, but nothing there has helped fix the reboot loop. Is there anything i can do to make the TV usable again?

[OnePlus 11] Steve0007:
We don't recommend installing this on your main device, and especially if you're not familiar with development or alpha/beta testing. There are quite a few known issues right off the bat:

View attachment 5908295

Developer Preview 1

WLAN malfunctions in certain scenarios

Connection fails when casting to a TV display

Red screen is seen when switching from Guest mode to Owner mode in certain scenarios

Manual connection fails after the phone is disconnected from the tablet

WeChat calls may not ring with Bluetooth headsets

Red screen flashes when creating a new calendar

Screen freezes when taking picture with the front camera in WhatsApp

Which devices support the preview?​

OnePlus 11 (all variants except carrier-branded e.g. TMO/VZW)

Where can I get the preview?​

Before installing, be aware that installing a developer preview carries a risk of bricking your phone. Make sure you know what you're doing, and backup your files/media before proceeding. Also ensure your battery level is at least 30% and you have at least 5GB space left on your device.

Refer to the forum threads for more information:

OnePlus 11:

Developer Preview 1

Can I revert to the stable version of OxygenOS?​

Yes, please read the forum thread of your device as linked above for detailed instructions. Rolling back will completely wipe all your data, so please take a backup before proceeding.

Below is the rollback/downgrade packages for the OnePlus 11. Make sure you choose the correct rollback package for your device and region. We are providing these links purely for your convenience, as rolling back isn't natively supported by our app. After downloading the correct rollback package, move the file from the "Downloads" directory to the topmost directory of internal storage (the same directory that the "Downloads" folder is in). You may also have to rename ".jar" to ".zip".

Then, open Settings -> About device -> Version and tap "Build number" 7 times. This will enable Android's built-in "developer mode" (you might have to enter your phone's PIN/password too). Once this is done, "Local upgrade" will once again be visible in Settings -> About device -> Software update -> top-right button. It it doesn't show up, download & install OPLocalUpdate_For_Android13.apk, and use that to install updates locally.

Rollback packages​

The following packages will rollback your device to Android 13, and will wipe all your data. Note that these rollback ZIPs will take you back to A.09 even though the latest OOS13 stable version at the time of writing is A.10. These are not the packages you should download if you're looking to update to Android 14/U.

OnePlus 11 / Rollback packages :

OnePlus 11 NA Version (A.09)

OnePlus 11 IN Version (A.09)

OnePlus 11 EU Version (A.09)

OnePlus 11 GLO Version (A.09)

do you think flashing 2449glo on my 2451 would change it to a 2449glo? or is it just the reverts that work like that?
[OnePlus 11] Steve0007:
The rollback packages are very fresh, so untill someone try, it is difficult to say.

But theoretically it could work. At least with 2551 you will be able to get full OTA updates 👍

Most probably yes if you want to go back to Color os. There is already an Android 14 DP 1 available.
[OnePlus 11] t0ng00:
Sorry for not making myself clear, I mean, downloading the apk from the forum and take it to a CN color os device and forcefully "downgrade" it to the 13 ROM - could it be even possible?

Or forcefully for to DP1 NA first and then, down?

Try and let us know if it converts your device 😋

I have an MTCE Android Head Unit with the following specs:

Android: 6.0.1

MCU Version: MTCE_WWW_V2.65d_1 (22th SEPT 2017)

Build-Number: px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct.20171011.152556 test-keys

I was afraid to update the firmware as i didn't want to mess up something. Hoever im fed up with this device (EONON GA 7135a) and before proceed to buy a new one i'm hoping the updates to fix issues like:

1) when playing music glitches apear and music being played with brake ups

2) Sudden reboots of the unit

3) Very slow reaction of the android applications. ( ok i know the unit has only 2GB ram) but i do not have the unit full of aps

PLEASE advise me which rom and to as much as posible more updated version of google to updated ( if possible guide me with a link) before i take a hummer and destroy it.

Thank you very much in advance for your help and understanding.

Please help, I'm stuck. Wife was using her S20 5G simply browsing in Chrome and the phone spontaneously rebooted. It's now stuck in a boot loop and after 3 tries, goes on its own to this recovery screen. If you select "try again" it boot loops again. Repeat until the battery dies. I've managed to get to the full recovery menu to do a cache wipe and it did nothing.

Few questions on "Erase app data" :

1) What exactly does "Erase app data" do?

2) Will her Google accounts set up on the device remain intact and logged in?

3) Will any device settings be erased by doing this?

All of her data is backed up. We just absolutely need to get in to one of her Google accounts as we are having issues with 2FA account recovery.

Hello there.

According to this description:

http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html

I am trying to create new layout with cyrillic characters (so i want to kind of introduce localization for input).

In order to do this I am changing some lines in file

./development/emulator/keymaps/qwerty.kcm

from:

[type=QWERTY]

# keycode display number base caps fn caps_fn

A 'A' '2' 'a' 'A' '#' 0x00
B 'B' '2' 'b' 'B' '<' 0x00
.....

to

[type=QWERTY]

# keycode display number base caps fn caps_fn

A 'A' '2' 'a' 'A' '#' 0x00
B 'Б' '2' 'б' 'Б' '<' 0x00
.....

which are supposed to be russian characters.

But compiling this yields in:

KeyCharMap: out/target/product/generic/obj/KEYCHARS/qwerty.kcm_intermediates/qwerty.kcm.bin
development/emulator/keymaps/qwerty.kcm:5: expected number or quoted ascii but got: 'а'

So it is seems like it does not like utf-8 characters. So, how am I supposed to create non-ascii layout?

So, it actually does work, I wrote a simple app which changes key layout files as soon as you lunch it. It is kind of software layout switcher.

Main problem now: android seems to have some buffer, so layout does not change as soon as you replace a file. It take some random time or chars to input before changes applies.

So I am wondering if somebody knows how to force android to reload charmap?

Another thing that might help, if I can find out which process opens charmap file, it could really help. Unfortunately neither android nor busybox does not have lsof command.

more info:

I have noticed, that app reload the layout file the same time as garbage collector runs for this app. I don't know for sure, where GC initiate layout reloading or they both are initiated by some superior event.

I have managed to Flash the LineageOS official ROM to my Dynalink TV box

I thought how it might be interesting to turn this into a small Android PC of sorts running standard phone / tablet Android

with a mouse and a keyboard over USB. (although OTG doesn't appear to work on the Official Lineage ROM)

I'd guess the difference is mostly a different Launcher.

Would it be something that could be done via ROOT using Magisk?

Or would it require modifying the Rom?

Thanks for any insight!
