Just tried it - seems to be quicker..

Didn't do the benchmarks before and after (darn), maybe when I get home later..
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
simple answer doesn't exists: it's generally "NO", but should be "a little" if you force programs to use new .net libraries (check the link posted by CalvinH) and "a lot" if you link all libraries to new .net cf cooking a rom.
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
Are there any other benefits of forcing .Net using the reg hack as posted in Dev & Hacking? Stability, Security, etc?

Stock ROM is still pretty good though - haven't felt the need to start with cooked ROMS just yet (or am I wrong? :rolleyes:)

What are the differences between this hack and deep linking of ROM cooking?
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
this hack only force program that remote call procedures to be linked with new .net cf. Deeplinking take this benefits to the whole system, even for static linked procedures. I'm not a cooking expert but remember some posts in elf/elfin section about this

Wait new sys/xip port from itje to start with cooked roms and you'll see your device flying as porting sys/xip envolve even relink of all libraries (anyway, major benefits will come from new sys/xip)
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
ok, we will agree to disagree (not that I disagree that it'll improve performance since it's always any developer's objective (but not the only) to release faster/better library with new version) :D :D

[General Questions and Answers] thebabylonrd:
i saw a thread on here from 2016 alledging similar claims. was wondering if someone can confirm for me that GG5 is trully no better than a plastic screen, or if possibly the manufacturer is cutting corners on phones. I recently got a Oneplus 9 for modding. I love the phone. After 2 months tho the screen scratched and SMOOSHED. Due to the nature of the damage i cannot get a picture to show it, but it looks like when you write on paper and then turn the page to see the indented letters that were written on the page before it. Yes, but its not paper, its gorilla glass 5, or atleast its supposed to be. Out of curiosity from what i was seeing i decided to push on the screen with my fingernail no harder than you might while popping a zit perhaps not even that hard, having trouble thinking of a better analogy, and i got a similar smoosh dent mark on the screen, only difference is that it does not extend as far across the face of the screen.

I called oneplus and now im thinking they will waste my time and money again by replacing the screen with the same exact garbage, as i am starting to suspect that this is real gorilla glass 5, not a fake as was my initial suspicion, and i would be better off buying a gorilla glass 3 screen for it like my 4 year old moto g7 plus has, and still does not have any noticeable damge on the screen whatsoever.

so i ask if anyone has some words of wisdom. Have you had GG5 before? Is this really the product that Corning decided was ready for the world? Or is this a cheap fake. Phone was purchased new on ebay.

Thanks everyone for your time.

Ugh

Hi there, i do not see the uninstall option for google messages or chrome. I was able to remove the app a few days ago but today there is no option to remove these 2 apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
As said before, Uninstall via ADB as system apps couldn't be uninstalled normally.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
Uninstalling Chrome will break the Play Store unless you are on an EU or Chinese firmware.

go find a blackberry forum...im sure they can help you...if they can
[General Topics] gs1421:
You can unlock your Blackberry Storm yourself. The only thing you have to do is you should get unlock code. You can get the code either by contacting your service provider or you can get the code from online providers itself. I would suggest a reliable online website Unbblock.com ,here they are providing unlock code only for Blackberry phones at low cost. Buy the code here and unlock your mobile yourself using unlocking instructions which is given in the site itself.

Hi,

I just recently tried flashing my redmi 9A phone from china rom to global rom, but it failed, now the phone is bricked and it loops to "system is destroyed". Though I can still access fastboot by pressing volume down +power, when i try to flash it again using Miflashtool with dandelion fasboot global room, it gives me an error " crclist" or "remote device is locked" error. Please help

Thanks
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] Rares6567:
Hi. Try flashing the China rom. If it doesn't work try reunlocking the bootloader. If this doesn't work either. You need to flash it using Sp Flash Tool. There are many tutorials on YouTube.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] liltechie:
Hello, I want to update my device to Android 12 or 13. This is my device:

xiaomi redmi note 8 pro (begonia)

Miui Global Stable 12.5.7.0 (RGGEUXM)

Android Version: 11 RP1A.200720.011

Bootloader: unlocked

I flashed twrp with BRP3.5.2v3.1. Device is rooted, SafetyNet check in magisk failed.

How do I update to Android 12 or 13 and where do I get the images from or do I have to build them?

Will I still have root access after update?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
What are you talking about?

For root:

- Unlocked Bootloader

- Working rom

- By TWRP method: Working TWRP. Flash Magisk.apk

- By Fastboot method: Take boot.img. Patch boot.img. Flash patched boot.img

- Patch vbmeta if you are using Miui. Custom rom don't need this

For pass Safetynet (Magisk v25.2)

- Enable Zygisk

- Enable Enforce Denylist

- Flash Safetynet fix 2.4.0

- Configure Denylist:

+ Google Play Store

+ Google Play Services

- Reboot

- Setting>Apps

- Clear data + storage of 2 Google stuff above

- Check if it show devide certified or not.

Some old rom need to change many props to make rom work. I will not write details here. You can search on YouTube. But i recommend to use new roms to prevent that.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] liltechie:
What means a working rom?

You wrote in https://xdaforums.com/t/soft-brick-bootloop-after-twrp-flash.4570389/ that twrp-3.3.1-0-begonia.img supports Android 9 only. If I want to use TWRP for A11, I should find an unofficial one by searching "brp begonia pling" and choose the one for Miui A11 (v3.6 or v3.5.2_3.1).

How do I know, which twrp is fitting my device? Does 'working' in this case mean, the software is penetrate the system to access recovery mode or something else?

Is it the same patching as mentioned here https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html?

What exactly is vbmeta for? For preventing to remove the custom recovery loader? Or do I mistake it with avb close 2.0?

What is an old rom? By date or by software?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Working rom/TWRP mean rom/TWRP that you can boot on your phone.

Ex: Official TWRP can't boot with your Miui rom. So it's not working TWRP.

For knowing which is suitable TWRP, you need to know all about unofficial TWRP and it's changelog.

Fastboot method: it's working with almost device that don't have TWRP.

Patch vbmeta or avb close 2.0 with do same purpose. You can read about vbmeta in Official TWRP flash guide

Old rom is by date. Google update many stuff but old rom can't catch up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunta126:
Hi, I'm looking at replacing my Z17 with the new Z50.

However, I want to be sure I can root and install custom ROMs. The information about those capabilities seem to be quite lacking these days, does anyone have a Z50 and has rooted or installed a custom ROM on it? (even all the current red magic threads seem to have very little information about custom rom installation/development)

The Z17 supported Treble GSI images by preloading with a custom LineageOS image first. Are all newer phones treble GSI enabled, can they just be reflashed with any GSI image or do they still need a TWRP recovery etc?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa.bbb111222:
The safest option would be to go for RM8P, it has more chances to have custom rom. And we know for sure that the bootloader can be unlocked, Z50's might be not

At this time the Nubia Z50 doesn't have an international ROM with the ability to choose more than 4 languages during the initial setup.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbrimb:
There should be a OEM unlock option in the developper settings, if there isn't you might see if what fastboot mode says. Maybe on fastboot menu it will specify if this is an unlockable phone or not ?

Or perhaps try executing "fastboot getvar all"

This is not a dangerous command whatsoever, it just gets of bunch of info from the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekec01:
Yes, there is OEM unlock option in the developer options which allows bootloader to unlock.

Edit: Just tried to change system language with adb and "Language enabler" app and .....NO. We are limited to four system languages, there are no hidden languages in Nubia Z50. Well it was worth to try. Morelocale will do just fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbrimb:
To me this means that bootloader is unlockable, espacially since nubia has a track record of allowing it (and even keeping the warrany intact if you do unlock I think)

the command would be "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX711J"

edl is supposed can accessible with firehose file. otherwise they can't fix the phone due to bootloader have no unlock commands.

The problem is that the connection cannot be established in Sahara mode. And I can't get some information correctly.

you can use this exe to check wether phone can connect with sahara mode properly or not.

custom recovery is another step.
