[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] SMGJohn:
There is also Backbone One for Android which supports apparently up to 250mm give or take but a lot of people are reporting it to be flimsy with big phones and the Gamesir X2 Pro being superior product.

Backbone One also supports USB-C and has USB-C passthrough with headphone jack and internal DAC.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] UltimateGamer83:
Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Paz9:
One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS

Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] w_tapper:
it does on pixel phones, its just placebo
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted 😶. Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] w_tapper:
ricedroid is better imo

edit: its called risingos now
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] afro972:
with the nikgapps, can we use gcam ?

i would like to install lineage but i want absolutelly gcam
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Siafall:
it's not included in any package of nikgapps but you can download gcam directly from playstore or telegram (modded version)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] afro972:
ok thanks, its a good news !!!, what about battery life ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Siafall:
I saw that a lot of people said that battery life on lineage os was pretty good, didn't tried myself (still on stock but hesitate between risingos and lineageos)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] afro972:
ok thank you, i think i will try this week and give a feedback
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iRhyiku:
Do you even have pixel features like the music search or lens/select text and images in recents?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Siafall:
You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pixel86:
Call screening works if you install Google Phone app. Works flawlessly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
Have a question for the op or anyone running lineage OS 20 does this rom work well with Galaxy, or Samsung watches? I mean do they play nice together?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dr.Pepper:
Guys help😅

installed LOS 20 with full nikgapps, and missed one option - weather under the clock on pixel launcher (there was one option in settings to switch it on on stock rom but missing on LOS rom somewhere in android intelligence settings or something that).

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
I use a Samsung watch and it works in tandem perfectly
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
Thank you. It's been a long time. I've been on stock for a long time thought I would pull the trigger. But now I'm having trouble with Platform Tools. Hey I do have a question I know this is off topic but what version of platform tools do I need to use?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Download the latest one and you should be fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dexlemaffo:
33.0.3
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
Thanks guys. I've downloaded both and tried both but still getting the same error message. I'll keep trying.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
What's the error?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
I'm in the platform tools dir. I've done the open powershell window. When I do fastboot flash vendor_boot then i copy the file there and hit enter I get "no file or directory" I've also done the CMD line also.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Does adb recognize your device? Are your driver's up to date?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
where did you get the lineage for pixel 7 pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] runninghamster:
Info about cheetah | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
Yes that is where I got the LineageOS file from.

Yes ADB and Fastboot recognize my devices. Yes drivers are up tp date. I have changed USB-ports and cables. I have tried different platform-tools. But I still get the same error message "no file or directory" What I'm typing is fastboot flash vendor_boot C:\platform-tools vendor_boot.img I hit enter and then "No File or Directory" comes up. What am I doing wrong.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] acuicultor:
vendor_boot doesn't exist in p7 series instead we have vendor_kernel_boot.img.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
OK when I go to the LineageOS WiKi page then go to download build page. There is NO such file vendor_kernel_boot.img in there. there are these files

boot.img

dtbo.img

super_empty.img

vbmeta.img

vendor_boot.img

I'm not sure where you are coming up with that file from.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
I have installed and used Lineage on "older" devices that are no longer supported by the OEM. Lineage works well for this purpose. What I don't understand is why do this to a new phone that is, and will be supported, for years to come? I see no advantage to using Lineage over factory for a "flagship" phone. What I do see is the clear-and-present danger of turning your expensive, possibly vital communications device into a paperweight!

YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Barsky:
picnic. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] runninghamster:
I believe this issue can occur when the file you are trying to flash is not in the same directory as fastboot or you are running the fastboot flash command from a directory where the file isn't present. I would refer to this video, hopefully you are able to get the issue fixed. I would also just double check that the platform-tools directory is added to your path for both your user variables and the system variables, you can refer to this webpage for instructions.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
Just place the platform tools file in C: and enter the path in environmental variables to make it system wide. Easier that way so you don't have to extract files and place in the platform tools file.

You can find out how here:

https://www.360logica.com/blog/how-to-set-path-environmental-variable-for-sdk-in-windows/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
Hey guys thank you all that have tried to help me. But it is still a no-go. I've tried new cable tried new USB-port put platform-tools in the path I have it in C:\Platform-Tools But I'm still getting the error No such File or Directory I'm getting frustrated with it now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
Follow the tut i posted. You have to set it in environmental variables and you can just hold shift anywhere and right click and use PowerShell or CMD and you're good.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foamerman:
Well I followed the instruction to a T everything is where it should be. I've rebooted the computer. But No such file or Directory. So I'm giving up on it for now. I'll keep working it lol.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
That's odd. I've done it for every computer I've owned or had to reset. Well, best of luck to you
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] andrew2432:
Silly question anyone running thiis able to tell me how their hotspot speed is?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
I have switched from running Lineage after several months because I noticed my speeds would seem to throttle at times while using either wireless hotspot or USB tethering. I am now using CrDroid, switching Roms has not changed this issue. I have a feeling/theory that our carriers are throttling hotspot/tethering speeds and it has nothing to do with the ROM. I remember years back people would disguise tethering/hotspot as data that's being directly consumed by the device. Maybe something like this is needed again
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] insestito:
On Pixel 7 subforum you have the oficial post for LOS 20

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mattgyver:
Anyone try using usb-c to HDMI/dp ? Curious if running lineage would allow for external display over usb-c. That's my biggest gripe about the pixel 7 pro so far. I used that feature heavily on my OnePlus 8 pro while working remotely. I could hook up my OnePlus 8 pro to a hotel tv, use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and use the secondary display experience to work through my phone. Now, with the pixel 7 pro, I have to hotspot with a laptop. If lineage allows external USB display, I'd definitely consider flashing LOS21..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] w_tapper:
i think it's disabled in hardware for p7
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mattgyver:
I thought I had seen that. Was hoping there was a way.. I'll swap devices when I need to work remotely then. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] syn122:
Hey can you elaborate on this? I'm running rooted Derpfest rom and have the lockscreen music search but no select text in recents. It's just an OOS style clear all button.

Is it a missing feature from the custom ROM or does Google disable them in custom roms?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fluxfield:
I recently flashed the ACC module on my pixel to control the charge limit with the AccA interface but now my pixel does not charge unless plugged into my laptop. I disabled the Acc module, removed it but nothing seems to work, it still refuses to charge when its under the charge limit and plugged into my charger.

It sometimes randomly starts charging but almost never till the charge limit I had set. I have restarted my device and yet nothing has changed, would be great if someone could help.

UPDATE: Charging is fine after a fresh install of Acc module and disabling temperature control.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlDollaz:
Reinstall AccA and make sure the latest ACC is installed. Mess with the settings? Try to set to default.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fluxfield:
Tried it, doesn't work. It started charging 10 seconds after plugging it in then it stopped, no idea why.

Even the charge to __% without restrictions is acting up. Will post new updates soon.

UPDATE: The charging is working fine, seems to me the issue was the temperature control so I disabled it and now it's fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Caramel:
I see in many roms threads the number of the update and the date, but i would know if an update, let me write an exemple ...

------------------------------

Htc diamond -> htc camera 1.0

Htc Raphael -> htc camera 1.2

-new rom for diamond

htc camera 1.2 from raphael

------------------------------

Do you realy think it's a really update, cause it's not the same hardware, raphael have a flash and not the diamond !

Updating i'm ok but i dont think updating with the last number is a good choice ! For exemple the "ati drivers", if the diamond has been selling with the driver "A" it's not for use it with the driver "B", i'm i in the error ?

Is there a follow near the manufacturer ( an idea ... htc ... to know what is compatible and what is not compatible ?

I know upgrading is as our own risk, are theyre really usefull ?

May be just a registry editing can be fast than a new rom, the black thing is the memory ... On a manufactured phone we have less than what we need for live ( it's an image ) with a cook too many memory !!!
[Introductions] Shellshock123:
Hi Guys. I am Shellshock. The Numbers are there because some dude wrote it first damn it.

I bought a New Phone called Huawei Mate 20 x. Because its a whopping 7.2 Inches baby.

Great Phone. Don't really like the medicore battery life. tbh. But thats just phones these days. Partially my fault as well though Cuz I play games on this phone.

Also I'm trying to be a youtuber. and failing miserably.

Funny thing I actually thought XDA was a Huawei specific website. Cuz I only used it for Huawei Mate 20 x lmao.
[Introductions] SigmundDroid:
Howdy @Shellshock123

Haiaaa! How come it's not listed as tablet? :giggle:

And how come it doesn't have more battery than 4200mAh - there should be place enough to double or even triple it: 174.6x85.4x8.4mm :unsure:

Are there not-failing youtubers? ;)

No. And many people here dislike it but it seems to pay some bills...

Are you into flashing ROMs? Might help your battery life... Might even give you some topics for YT: Too often I find either promotional videos or too-simple-minded rants but never balanced testing... therefor I rather stick with letters and numbers (aka written reviews).
[Introductions] Shellshock123:
I actually used to do written reviews and because of that people told me I should start a youtube channel lmao

On the more technical note people dislike Huawei here? Is there a reason. I don't understand what you mean by pays the bills. How does it pay the bills

I was under the impression that Huawei had blocked access and you cant flash roms or unlock bootloader? Is that not the case anymore?
[Introductions] SigmundDroid:
lmao, indeed, lmao :ROFLMAO:

I dont know... but for me, stopping unlocking (without justification), was a real turn off. By now Huawei has different problems, eh? ;)

As for the ads, gee!, that's so long ago... might be even pre-covid...

Does it say "connect to the internet or contact your operator" ?

My device is a little different, it says rooting status : unlocking allowed, sim status is clean, but I can't enable oem unlocking because it's a demo device, "no retail"

Did anyone unlock such a device ?

IMO you might need to change the firmware and try flashing it. Usually, if you have unlocking allowed, it should be possible..
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
I think it's possible, but I don't own that device so it's a risk you will need to take.. Use martview, they have cheaper unlocking options..
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Jbrimb:

Got a broken Xiaomi 12 for 100€, I'll replace the back. maybe I'll keep it with a rom or sell as well

I'm using another sony 5 II right now

I was also thinking about repairing Z flip 4's since they are incredibly cheap when broken
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
AFAIK this is the only way... Maybe try another few times? Hopefully you haven't deleted the Qunlock folder.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
I was thinking of xiaomi as well or oneplus for my next phone. This 5ii is nice and compact, I think I'll keep it as a backup phone until I can get a 1V most likely.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
Do you have 5G working on the other 5ii BTW?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Nezhdan:
"remote donge not available err: 144"

Does the error mean that the server is down? No one knows where to see when it will work again??
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Nezhdan:
If he has a backup, he can restore the phone via Xperia companion and re-unlock the bootloader for free
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
Yes this is a common error apparently, something to do with the server. Just wait a little or email the service where you purchased the unlock credits from..
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
Will xperia companion restore sim function? Specifically after doing a network unlock? Do let me know if you have faced something similar.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Nezhdan:
I've restored it like that once
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Jbrimb:
Yeah 1V looking good, but that price tag though...

I don't know if 5G works tbh, 5G's garbage in France so I still have a 4G subscription
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
So basically you need to just restore with xperia companion and the sim function is sorted? Interesting, very helpful indeed. I'll probably add your method to the guide if you don't mind, just as a backup method of restoring SIM function.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Nezhdan:
Yes, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for the rest of us:) Of course, add it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] NoClue1:
Change bootloader unlock allowed "no" to "yes" still works :). Confirmed (XQ-AS52). But don´t use the networkunlocking.com service. I paid them first and waited two days for nothing (on their homepage they write something about 6 - 12 hours for delivery). Then i tried canadaunlocking.com and it worked (y). It took 2 - 3 hours after the order was placed.

But TWRP doesn´t work for me on the Android 12 Version. Or im to stupid for it. After flashing the recovery with twrp, i got the twrp boot loop. Same case i got when i flashed the Orange Fox Recovery. So i flashed it again with the Lineage OS 21 recovery and it worked pretty well :)

Edit: To be fair. Networkunlocking.com refund me. Maybe only thanks to PayPal? Iam not sure.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
Glad you got it working! I used the martview service and it was pretty good and straightforward. Regarding TWRP, you have to pick the right version in order to get it working with you ROM. I ditched the stock ROM soon after and LOS is way better TBH.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] yasinkhan1438:
i used martview to buy s1 tool but only bootloader unlocked not network subset unlocked what to do?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Camelioon:
does anyone know where else you can buy credits in addition to these sites?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
So far, these few sites are all we know of. If the server is down, you might have to wait for sometime before it starts working again...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
Try going into fastboot, wipe data, wipe dalvik, wipe all partitions and start from scratch. Use a PC to carry out all of these steps. It should work. If you're able to boot into twrp as well, that's a good sign. Also try with a different ROM, sometimes that could make the entire process much easier.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Camelioon:
i everyday trying to unlock since 4/22/2024, but everytime i see this error...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion] mhys33:
Email the service where you purchased this tool from. This seems like an error from their end. Alternatively, try using another service.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] webhook:
I've recently got a USB-C 3.1 Micro Center 64GB flash drive. However, when I plug it in to my Pixel 4a 5G, it will not appear - the same with other devices I've tried. However it's weird that it worked on my Motorola devices. Do you guys have any idea what may be the cause?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] GennywithaG:
It's unusual but possible that the flash drive and the Pixel 4a 5G may not be fully compatible. USB-C devices can sometimes have compatibility issues with certain USB flash drives. Try using a different flash drive or a USB-C adapter to see if the issue persists. Or there could be an issue with the flash drive itself. It's possible that the drive is malfunctioning or has become corrupted. Try using the flash drive on a computer to see if it is recognized. If not, it may be time to consider a replacement.

I took several pictures on my new P7P and am having trouble getting them off of the phone and into my desktop computer. Here's what I have done:

From the P7P Home screen, I tapped "Settings". A "Settings" menu appeared.

I tapped "Connected devices". A "Connected devices" menu appeared.

I tapped "Connected devices".

Under "Other devices", I tapped "USB /file Transfer". Then I tapped "USB File transfer". A "USB Preferences" menu appeared.

Under USB controlled by I tapped "This device", and under "Use USB for" I tapped "File transfer / Android Auto.

And I sat there waiting for something to happen. I expected to see something like "P7P" appear on my computer when I opened the file manager but the only things that showed up were my disk drives. No P7P. What did I miss?

Hi,

Since no one here has a crystal ball, What OS is installed on your computer? 😅

Assuming you have a Windows OS, open device manager and see if something pops up plugging your USB cord..?

Good luck,

Sébastien.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
I took a look at the C connector to verify that it has 24 pins. It only had 14 pins (or maybe 12 pins? My eyes aren't that good anymore). So I used another cable after verifying that it has the full 24 pins.

@Sébastien! My phone runs Android 13 and my computer runs Windows 10 Home. When I look at the devices on my computer I see a Pixel 7 Pro icon. After clicking that icon I was able to upload my photos from the P7P to my computer!

@K1nsey6: I'll have a look at your link - thank you for providing it.
