> May I ask what the latest security patch date is on this rom? Thanks, in advance.

Same here! Would love to try this out especially if it has recent security patches. Thanks!
[Android General] ylk135:
The latest stable release, that I'm currently using (1.2) has the security patch from 5 May 2023.

The newer one (1.2.1) - Android Security Update as of 10 July 2023

There is also 1.3 without any description.

However the newer ones are marked "!!!!DO NOT USE THIS RELEASE!!!" so I don't know if they are stable enough for daily use. Unfortunately the project looks stalled since September.

Hello Old Mill,

as you seem to be using the Unihertz Titan with LineageOS 20.0 for quite a while I just wanted to ask if you were able to fix all issues you had with the Titan and LineageOS. Do you still use LineageOS 20.0 on your Titan Pocket? Thank you in advance for your reply!

Thank you for doing this project and sharing your knowledge! This is very interesting. I am thinking about installing LineageOS 20.0 onto a Titan Slim. Is there any news about the versions 1.2.1 or 1.3.0? And where are you from? I am looking if here is someone from Germany who already installed LineageOS 20.0 onto a Titan Slim...

Thank you and best regards!

[Android General] Old_Mil:
Hello,

Yes I've been daily driving Gargoyle 1.2/Lineage 20 on my Titan Pocket since my original post. I did get the issues solved, the phone now IMS registers on the network and VoLTE functions. Once that was solved, I've had no issues.

I'm in the United States, we have one of the most restrictive cell phone infrastructures in the world. Our 3G networks have been shut down, 2G will be shut down in a year, and pretty much everyone will be forced onto VoLTE 4G/5G. It's really interesting to see how our cell phone monopolies conspire to force customers onto carrier provided handsets with their built in surveillance software on it.

I would imagine that Germany would be much easier to get alternative handsets and operating systems working; most other countries seem to be.

As far as 1.2.1/1.3 last time I looked at Github, both were still marked as "do not use".

Go for it. I think you'll have a good result. Just follow the instructions very carefully.
[Android General] Old_Mil:
Here is how my phone is configured now. I've listed the specifics of the IMS apn that I manually added that is not active (but appears to be necessary for IMS registration). I also added the T-mobile US 240 APN (the one that is active) manually.
[Android General] gsfx:
Well in Germany 2G is still working (at least until 31. December 2025), 3G has been switched off in 2021. 4G and 5G work well, the 5G net is still being developed. But I think there are still some years for the Titan Slim to work properly.
[Android General] gsfx:
Order placed. :)
[Android General] gsfx:
Arrived. :)

Hello,

it does. Thank you for your step by step description. Did you install Google apps?

Thank you and best regards!

Fred

And one second thing: can I start with just the new phone or do I have to set it up before I start?
[Android General] Old_Mil:
I don't install anything Google on the phones which I root and flash custom ROMs on. My whole goal in doing all this is to get as far away from Google as possible, so I don't have anything (including Google play services) running on there.

Whenever I've flashed custom ROMs, I always put my SIM into the phone and make sure that the phone works in stock mode first (making and receiving phone calls, sending and receiving MMS and SMS messages, and registering onto the network). It's any easy way to isolate any incompatibilities (is it the custom ROM or is it the hardware). Right or wrong, I don't know.
[Android General] gsfx:
Your phone was rooted before you could install LineageOS. Is it still rooted after installing LineageOS? Or is the root thing gone after the install of LineageOS?
[Android General] Pineappleman3001:
Hi, could I ask if the stock features are retained, such as mapping shortcut buttons, scrolling with the keyboard, etc? Great job!
[Android General] Old_Mil:
You have to reinstall Magisk once you flash Gargoyle to get root.

Scrolling with the keyboard doesn't seem to work on mine.

Not sure what you mean by mapping shortcut buttons?
[Android General] gsfx:
Thank you! Now its clear to me. As I do not require root I do not have to root the phone after installation of LineageOS.
[Android General] ylk135:
You can enable keyboard scrolling in gargoyle settings app. I didn't like it because it caused some unwanted actions though. Not sure how it behaves on the stock ROM as I barely used it.

No way to use the red feature button nor cannot get 'fn' key to work anyhow. 'sym' button opens context menus instead of some symbol table :)

Curious if anybody has a way to change the behavior of the home/fingerprint button, so that double tap is needed to go back to desktop. Sometimes I touch it by accident.
[Android General] gsfx:
Unfortunately I do not get this far. I struggle with the Linux thing. I am using Ubuntu as Live CD and try to upgrade some things to get adb working. Problem is that I have a problem with udev rules. USB debugging on the phone is active, but adb devices says that I havent the permissions and claims to have a look a udev. I did so, but it is not working. Do you have any hints for me?

Thank you and best regards!

Fred
[Android General] Old_Mil:
I don't think that you're going to be able to pull this off with a live CD. You're probably going to have to perform a full install of Ubuntu while connected to the internet so that it can update the latest packages and download and install android platform tools to get things like adb and fastboot working successfully. Even after that you may have to install python3 and other dependencies if they aren't already bundled in. That doesn't even touch the problems that the scripts to build Super could have in a live CD environment.

In general, live CDs of full distros are for test drive purposes only (with some exceptions like Tails and Septor which are really designed to run as live CDs/USBs, though Septor can also be installed permanently on a machine). Even with a distro like Tails that is intended to be run as a live CD, I don't think this would be possible.
[Android General] gsfx:
Thank you! I just conquered 30 GB of space on my wifes laptop and it works. adb check.

Unlock done. Root done.
[Android General] DunTellYou74:
Hi,

Anyway to flash this without rooting? I need a non root version as lots of my company apps can't work on rooted phone.
[Android General] gsfx:
This applies directly to the phone? Because when I did this, the script is waiting for a phone in the fastboot mode....

Hello,

Thank you for your installation guide, that woreked well when I finally used the correct environment (Ubuntu installed to a laptop). One issue: I just installed the Gapps via Magisk, the Wacko-Module. Now Google claims that the device is not certified. For a plenty of reasons I require the GApps. What can I do now? Thank you for your help!

If I understand you correctly, you installed the Google Apps in the version MindTheGApps. How did you install these? Did you flash it via Magisk?

Thank you and best regards!

Fred

Hello,

one more question. How can I get the keyboard working properly? I am not able to wite a dot. Not with sim and b, not with alt and b, not with fn and b. How do I do that?

Thank you and best regards!

Fred

Next update:

Keyboard is working fine since I blocked the GBoard. It seems that the Keyboard works a little bit better in the stock ROM. But for now its OK. I was able to login the Google account, unfortunately the contacts app does not allow to use the Google account, but I can log into another Google account? A little bit strange. And I am looking for the best way to get all apps and settings from the old to the new phone as I am planning to us the Slim as daily driver. Usually I would login the Google account and use the recovery from there, but in this case that does not work as the Google setup was not available at the beginning of my first steps with LineageOS 20. What would you suggest?

Thank you and best regards!

Fred
[Android General] Old_Mil:
As far as using Google, I'm afraid I can't make any recommendations. I never use Android phones with a Google account logged in. I've never installed Gapps on anything. The first thing I usually do with these devices when I turn them on (before installing my SIM card or connecting to WiFi) is to go to the Settings > Apps menu and uninstall/disable as many Google applications as I can before proceeding.

I typically transfer my contacts by exporting them to a .vcf file, copying it to my laptop and then to the new device, and importing it. The apps I use, I reinstall on the new device from Fdroid and Aurora.
[Android General] Old_Mil:
In this situation, I would probably recommend that you don't go down this road (unless you're willing to carry a second phone without it's bootloader unlocked and unrooted for your company's apps).

I actually would advise this, as I go out of my way to avoid doing anything personal on a device with company apps.
[Android General] gsfx:
Hello,

everything is working so far. Regarding the keyboard there is a strange behavior. When starting the phone the keyboard works like it should. At a later stage of startup the layout seems to be changing and the things from the 2nd and 3rd level of the keyboard do not work anymore. Has anyone here experienced the same behavior?

Thank you and kind regards!

Fred
[Android General] Old_Mil:
Which onscreen keyboard have you selected?
[Android General] gsfx:
Hello,

there were GBoard and Kika installed. GBoard could not be removed, only deactivated. While I had serious problems before deactivating GBoard (I could not write a dot), the actual state (missing second layer) is more a comfort problem. GBoard is deactiveted/blocked now and I selected the Kika Keyboard. The settings for the physical keyboard shows a cryptical value with several numbers and letters. One thing I will try is to deactivate the keyboard scrolling. Perhaps that helps.

Best regards

Fred
[Android General] gsfx:
Hello,

I just found out what happened. There is the possibility to set keyboard mappings for the physical keybboard. If I set German for the keyboard the @ symbol moves from a to q and the complete second level does not work anymore. So I set the switch for keybord layout German from on to off and rebooted. The keyboard has the mapping again as printed onto the keyboard. For us Germans z and y are on the wrong place, but everything else works...

Question: there is sym button, a fn button and an alt button. Only the alt button works for further symbols/letters. I did not test the keyboard with the stock rom so much, what is the situation there?

Best regards

Fred
[Android General] oldchufa:
Has anyone been brave (or stupid, depends on how you look at it) and updated to any of the versions that are listed as, "do not use"? Just curious...
[Android General] ylk135:
As the project seems stalled I will definitely try to do this. Just have to update the other phone and switch back to it. I will post here the results.

Gargoyle 1.3

Gargoyle 1.3 BgN is currently being tested on my Titan (UFS) and works well.
[Android General] oldchufa:
Very good news i think i will go ahead and test it out for myself. Appreciate the feedback!
[Android General] titi65000:
I've just succeded installed the 1.4 version.

Many thanks for you work, it's impressive !

I'm just re installing old app, most looks fine.

For now, only Bluetooth is not working (even with some phh treble settings),
[Android General] HepCat86:
What's your device? What works and what does not?

Is there any chance to make the NFC working?
[Android General] HepCat86:
Hi everyone! Is there any feedback on the latest 1.4? I am particularly interested in Titan Pocket model.
[Android General] ylk135:
I am currently running 1.4 on the Pocket and I'm very happy with it. I did not experience any problems. Very happy with the KeyMapper as I can get all the buttons and shortcuts working.

EDIT:

As somebody already mentioned above BT does not work at all.
[Android General] HepCat86:
NFC does not work as well I presume?
[Android General] ylk135:
Sorry, I do not use it and have no way to check it.
[Android General] titi65000:
hi,

NFC payment are great, not using for anything else.

BT not working.

Model is TITAN.

Battery is very good too (without killing all apps :)).
[Android General] HepCat86:
So does the NFC work or not?
[Android General] titi65000:
Not sure what you don't understand in this:

NFC payment are great, not using for anything else.
[Android General] HepCat86:
I know that it is great :) Does NFC payment work on gargoyle GSI v1.4 for Titan Pocket? Can you pay by the phone on a NFC bank terminal?
[Android General] b8842dc0:
Hi I'm considering purchasing a Titan and am very excited to learn of this project to put LineageOS on this phone. I'm curious how battery life with the 6000mah battery compares with Lineage vs. the stock OS. Has anybody ever tested putting their Titan phone in airplane mode and seeing how slowly the battery drops?
[Android General] b8842dc0:
Just purchased a Titan. I've unlocked the bootloader and am currently reading the instructions for rooting. Part of the instructions read:

Looking at this @Rumplestilzken 's stock resources found here: http://rumplestilzken.com:14005/Unihertz/StockResources

I see:

EEA Stock Rom

Android 10 Update

TEE Stock Rom

Android 10 Update

Android 10 Boot Image

Android 10 Magisk Boot Image

Would I be correct in assuming that I can simply download the Android 10 Magisk Boot Image and flash that rather than patching the boot image? Should I assume that the "Android 10 Update" is the Android 10 version of the full stock rom and the EEA/TEE Stock Rom links are the full stock ROM for Android 9?

Thanks!

Bryan
[Android General] titi65000:
With the new release, BT is working great !

even better than stock, for now, no more cut in audio . . .
[Android General] titi65000:
Just to warn you, before starting to go in this, be sure to have the required tools for unbrick the phone if something goes bad.

I'm not doing this aften, 3 fails in my case :).

did you use theses infos ?:

[Android General] b8842dc0:
So, turns out that my device is a UFS device. I was able to easily download the Android 10 UFS stock image, unzip it and then patch and install the Magisk patched boot image. So, I'm now unlocked and rooted. I'll play around with the phone over the next couple of weeks and then will proceed to getting Lineage on it.

Thanks, @Rumplestilzken for all of the resources you have gathered together on this device.
[Android General] marty_jelen:
Hello I'm trying to flash Lineage OS on my Unihertz titan. I already unlock my device, root and follow these steps.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata # Skip this step if you are not coming from stock rom

fastboot flash system <gargoyle.img>

fastboot reboot

Everything is finished, but now I'm stuck in fastboot mode. There is no way to boot into OS. What should I do? Thank you.

@Rumplestilzken
[Android General] marty_jelen:
I tried to go back to stock ROM. So, I flashed it with SP flash tool. And now my device is completely dead.
[Android General] b8842dc0:
@marty_jelen I don't have any solutions for you, unfortunately. I have only unlocked and rooted my Titan, so far. However, you might get more responses in the Unihertz Titan Discord channels. I hope you find some solutions!
[Android General] b8842dc0:
How did you flash it with the SP flash tool? Did you see the readme on the github page that states: "Do not EVER format all in SP Flash Tool."

Source: https://github.com/rumplestilzken/gargoyle_lineageos20/blob/main/README.md
[Android General] marty_jelen:
I downloaded stock ROM from this page https://unihertz-titan.neocities.org/ run SP flash tool. Add scatter file. Click on dowload only. Connected my phone and everything looks OK. Flashing is finished, but my phone doesn't turn on anymore after this process. So it's impossible to try flash it again.
[Android General] b8842dc0:
@Old_Mil may I ask what you did to get the IMS issues resolved? Today, I installed Gargoyle 1.4 on my Titan. I'm using T-Mobile. IMS isn't registered and it appears that I don't have VoLTE. I'm seeing the same stuff in my phone details as what you posted in your screenshots on this issue. I also followed the instructions on Github for installing the apk and requesting the IMS network. I would love to hear what you did to finally resolve this.

Thanks!

Bryan

UPDATE: I got it working. I downloaded the IMS apk again, and then rebooted again. This time it worked. Not sure why it didn't work before, but I'm good!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] whodfkcares:
Hi, sorry if this is not the place to ask, please delete this thread if necessary.

I wanted to know if anyone has the old versions of the EvolutionX rom for the maple_dsdsds device, exactly:

evolution_maple_dsds-ota-tq1a.230105.001.a2-01100849-unofficial-unsigned.zip (or of similar date).

Being that Kawaiirin closed the thread, I'm on one of the latest builds of that rom and wanted to go back to previous versions where the microphone works fine.

Unfortunately at the time I downloaded an old version for the single_sim version but it does not work for me because my device is dual sim.

[General Questions and Answers] XTJ:
Fire HD 10 Tablet (64 GB) Without Lockscreen Ads (2019 Release)

Been using and loving Fire Toolbox since January 2020 or 2021.

I had an old micro-USB port wire connected to my computer. I still use it for a music player. I couldn't remember if it was my usb-c for my newer devices (wasn't wearing my glasses), so I tried to plug it into my Fire 10 HD to see if it fit.

I might have pushed a little bit, but not with any force. But my Kindle will not turn on. Tried various combinations of buttons I read about to restart, reboot, etc.

Can old micro-USB cord cause a short if pressed into a USB-c device? The answer must be yes.

What are my options? Thanks

Will someone send me a Darwin Award cap. I'm willing to wear it around my house for a few days.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Figure out what was damaged. Inspect C port for damage. Replace C port pcb if this is an option. May have damaged the mobo...
[General Questions and Answers] XTJ:
It seems like I should be seeing more posts from a few years ago where people damaged usb-c devices trying to plug them into micro-usb chargers. And it wan not a force thing; it was a soft but firm, is this the right charger press.

It also seems like this would have been accounted for when the usb-c was designed, making it so that the previous standard, if used by accident, would not damage anything.

I am not able to see any damage. Maybe a magnifying glass will help.

I'm not sure if there is a tech repair section on the forum here, or if it is mostly software and mods.

If I search for a cheap, used, replacement, 32GB with adds, for example, is there any way to swap out internal parts and make it 64GB no adds.

Is there anything salvageable inside?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Use a bright led flashlight or sunlight and a magnifying aid of some type.

That's a mistake I never made. Inserting a micro usb upside down... yes, well. C ports are more robust as well.

The C port can be replace but it requires a skilled tech as that mobo mounted one can easily be damaged from inept desoldering attempts. Most Samsung phones use a separate C port daughter pcb so no need to solder to replace it.

A local tech shop might do it for $30-50, the part itself is like $2.35
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] Muhammad Juman:
Hello Curtana's users.

I have tried to revert back to miui(11.0.3) from custom ROM( Arrow os 13) via fastboot.

It got bootloop and device keeps restarting with a vibrate. My recovery was broken but fastboot was working.

I flashed miui 11 all version running on Android 10 but no luck tried to flash recoveries but didn't boot.

So here is solution which saved my Curtana

My cell was running on ''Miui 14 Android 12''

When I installed Arrow os it was MIUI 14.

But I tried to revert and downgrade to MIUI 11 it gives me bootloop.

So I downloaded same MIUI version which was MIUI 14 used miflash 2018. Flashed fastboot ROM it booted.

I recovered my Curtana. So whenever you try to revert or downgrade from custom rom must remember which miui was installed at that time. Otherwise a bootloop is inevitable..

If you are in global miui the only good feature you can get is copy text from an image in my opinion. But if you want to experience all the miui14 features use xiaomi.eu

[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] RunoTheDog:
Hi.

Bought this phone 4 months ago and it went into a boot loop, where it would only show the battery empty icon. Yesterday, I tried turning it on again and noticed, that it's stuck at the Redmi - Powered by Android" screen. From this screen, I can enter fastboot. See this video:

VID_20230417_194410.mp4

drive.google.com

I've read that there are a couple of options for reflashing this device:

- aks someone with the authorized Xiaomi account to reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)

- put the device somehow into ETL mode and reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)

I've tried contacting someone, who for #1, but they aren't willing to help, for some reason (I'm wiling to pay). For #2, I'd have to open up the device, which I'd like to avoid doing.

Would anybody know of any other options for fixing this?

Thank you in advance!
