I am using NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez, which apparently uses Esmertec Jbed JAVA 20080222.3.1.

I am running the Gmail applet, which works great, save for one nit. It displays the sending time of messages at GMT, not my own timezone EST. Does this Java VM have its own separate timezone setting? How could I change it?

I note that opera mini also displayed this behavior, but allowed the user to specify the timezone within the applet.

Also, is it possible to run two java applets simultaneously?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgntucstaqwd:
Hello,

I need a custom kernel that supports external WiFi adapters. I'm new in Android Hacking, but I have been a Gentoo user for a long time.

Can I just build my own kernel and flash it on a recent device (that supports OEM unlocking) without any shenanigans?

By shenanigans I mean:

- TWRP, since it doesn't seem to support most recent devices

- Custom ROMs

- Any sort of *additional* proprietary software

- Rebuilding the entire Android image

Ideally it would be something as easy as the fastboot method but persistent.

It seems that Joying will release new Android 12 range.

It will have significantly better SQ, and finally fixed BT calls sound quality

Short preview
[FYT Android Head Units] pajo985:
New units are available, at joyingauto.eu

Seems nice
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Are they even FYT based?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I don't think so. Those are those snapdragon units. They already sold them earlier in 2021.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
But what I do wonder is whether these units do have RDS-AF in the radio and indeed a better working BT call quality.

Edit:

When looking at the CPU specs for these new Joying units they are inferior to the uis7862(s) units but faster than the uis8581a units. (Theoretically)

FYT:

CPU uis7862 64bit 8-core (2x ARM Cortex-A75 @ 1.8 GHz, 6x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.8 GHz)

CPU uis7862s 64bit 8-core (2x ARM Cortex-A75 @ 2.0 GHz, 6x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 2.0 GHz)

CPU uis8581a 64bit 8-core (4x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.6 GHz, 4x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.2 GHz)

New Joying Snapdragon units: QCM6125 Octa Core 64bit ARM 4xA73 @ 2.0GHz, 4xA53 @ 1.8GHz

This is of course theoretical. A lot of optimization can be done on Android for specific CPU/hardware combi's next to apk optimization.

But it is not the same CPU as in 2021 when it was a Snapdragon 625 (8x Cortex-A53 @ 2.02 GHz).
[FYT Android Head Units] pajo985:
Does this units have unlocked BT (so that non joying units can be connected)?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I assume you mean: ".... so that non joying devices can be connected?"

I don't think so. It is part of their business model to make money on accessories.

But hopefully someone corrects me.
[FYT Android Head Units] Moldeb:
Got improved on 7862 models through FW update, at least my callers are happy now and I haven't changed the hardware. Unrelated to the kernel as I use the MD Kernel and have used that before. Guess they improved the phone app, noise reduction etc. It was app related anyway as sound was fine on other apps (Teams etc) even with earlier FW.

Even if locked, earlier 7862 models could be opened by changing the BT mode in the config file. I could pair my (non Joying) OBD adapter that way.

How can I go back to a previous version of magisk1? I have version 26 but I want version 25 but I'm afraid it will end up as a brick
[Realme GT 2 Pro] NumberOneDz:
Basically you need to remove root completely and restart root process again by patching boot.img with version 25

But why do you want to downgrade anyway ?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] guskakashi:
because version 26 is not compatible with some mods for example viper also with some functions. I have thought about doing it but I am afraid that when doing it the startup logo will remain and there is not much support to recover it
[Realme GT 2 Pro] NumberOneDz:
If there is a bootloop you can always flash the original boot.img

Anyway, always backup your data

Viper mod did not work for me on GT2 Pro when I tried it about a year ago, but maybe the updates fixed the compatibility. LMK if the mod does work.

Hmm, some small screenshots and vague words... Why should I switch from LOS or eOS to Arrow? What are the added features?
[Fairphone 3 / 3+] doremus0:
I'm not here to convince you (or anyone else) to switch from LOS to ArrowOS. LOS is a solid and well maintained ROM, ArrowOS too.

I created this build for myself and put it here to share with the community.

You are free to try it or not.

I will tell you why I installed it on my phone because it may interest other people.

ArrowOS is just another Custom ROM with a minimalistic approach, there is no thousand of new features that add complexity and multiple source of bug, i achieve to build it easily. It runs smooth on my FP3 and the maintainer community is pretty open and mature. This rom exists from many years and seems to be long term maintained.
[Fairphone 3 / 3+] SigmundDroid:

It did pique my interest but it seems incredibly hard to find information other than this older blog entry (nice blog, btw):

[Fairphone 3 / 3+] doremus0:
NFC bug is fixed.
[Fairphone 3 / 3+] Tojaw:
Fingerprint doesn't work for me. Other than that though, it's a smooth ROM with GApps included, but I can't really recommend it to any but fans of the ROM. It doesn't offer much more but a stock experience with some slight adjustments regarding icons and status bar, and even LOS offers more in that regard. There's also no way to switch the volume sliders to the left side, which creates a dissonance between hardware and software.

However it does seem to run a tiny bit smoother than LOS, and not having to install GApps is a big plus. So for people who, for whatever reason, just want a stock-like experience but need a custom ROM this is what I'd recommend to them. For other people, if you want stock, go stock, if you want no Google, go /e/ or any of the other ROMs, if you want some light features go LOS and if you want heavy features go Spark.

So while I do appreciate the work you put into this ROM, I ultimately decided to go back to LOS, particularily because fingerprint and the volume sliders. If those were working I might consider it again though. There is a lack of ROMs for FP3, and I just want to say that I appreciate that you not only ported one, but two ROMs to the device. Thank you for that.
[Fairphone 3 / 3+] doremus0:
I lost my Fairphone 3 so i can't maintained this ROM and any other FP3 ROM anymore. If someone is interested by continue this work i will be happy to provide him / her all my works. The hotspot fix was in WIP and an update to the last ArrowOS version is also pretty easy to build.

I was preparing a fork of the powerfull Iode blocker with an additional feature to add blocking list like in the adaway app and without any premium needs or dependencies on Iode backends.
[General Questions and Answers] iamromulan:
I know this forum is generally focused on Android phones, but a recent discovery has lead me believing this question belongs here. I'm not very experienced with ADB other than basic rooting procedures and side loading/bloatware removing. I've come to ask the experts, on this one.

Recently I've gotten into custom cellular internet router building. For the longest time it has consisted of sourcing router board hardware from Chinese manufactures that run OpenWRT or some flavor of it. GoldenOrb (ofmodemsandmen.com) being the most popular choice. Then either by direct m.2 slot on the hardware or USB m.2 (sim) adapter to the USB 3.0 port, is an LTE/NR module. Popular ones include the Quectel RM520Q-GL, RM502Q-AE, and the EM160R-GL

The modems themselves run a full fledged Linux system and ADB can be used with them. OpenWRT and GoldenOrb are buggy and the modem itself does a better job of being in charge of connection management than a separate router would. Normally the modem would be set to communicate with the router hardware by either QMI mode or MBIM mode.

A new method is on the brink of emergence for handling the usage of these modules. A simple m.2 to rj45 adapter can be used in place of the router. You get a 2.5gb Ethernet port, an m.2 slot, a sim slot, a USB c debug port, a 12v fan header, and no bottlenecks. The modem is then set into RGMII mode. That's where the modems higher functions actually start to be used, and I imagine ADB becomes a factor.

A product has emerged where a modem just as I described was placed into an rj45 adapter and a web interface was created by taking advantage of the built in QCMAP on the modem. I imagine that ADB was used to modify the WWW folder and other files to create this. It allows the modem to be directly configured by a simple web interface over an m.2 rj45 adapter without having to deal with the complications of issuing AT commands for every little configuration and status query.

Someone else has released an easy to use AT over Ethernet command script for the community after this product came out. (People started to figure out what it really was) (https://github.com/natecarlson/quectel-rgmii-configuration-notes)

The link above is the writeup for their script, it also links said product. Very interesting price for such cheap hardware.

My question is does anyone have any experience with these? Any clever developers willing to spill the secrets of how that web interface was created? Maybe someone is interested in developing their own? I wouldn't mind supplying a modem to someone willing to create something like this for the community. Especially with how hush hush and locked down the cellular industry is. These modems can put the control in the users hands. A web interface directly on the modem and taking advantage of its full capabilities is ideal.

Oh that's a CAT4 modem. You'll have more control and speed if you went with at least an EM160R-GL. My personal favorite is the WS1208V2 router + an EM160R-GL. If you were looking for 5G/NR capabilities go with an RM520N-GL. Alibaba is where you can source that stuff on the cheap.

[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Well, as long as you were asking about web interfaces, I'll mention what I know.

Most (many? some?) Qualcomm modems expose the /dev/diag char device.

It uses HDLC (serial protocol) for requests and responses.

The libdiag.so from Qualcomm (undocumented to us) handles the transactions.

The OEM is responsible for any web interface.

For the LM1200, that's Netgear with their NetgearWebApp which is http server and simple template file (whatever.json.tmpl or whatever.html.tmpl) expander.

It seems a bit inefficient since (is it true?) it requests a single parameter/variable at a time over /dev/diag.

The SDX20 in the MiFi 8800L uses Linux message queues (mq_open, etc) so you can get a chunk of related parameters all at once.

There are OEM libs to interface with the message queues but you can just do it yourself.

Since the MiFi 8800L supports CGI I just wrote one to dump useful JSON only using stock libs.

[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
@iamromulan Thanks! That's pretty interesting.

The one thing that I would emphasize is keeping your modem cool.

It's not just like a CPU with being ok as long as it's not boiling.

The noise in the RF front end increases with temperature.

If you live with a strong signal you may not notice.

My MiFi 8800L hotspot ran true to its name and was hot.

I removed the plastic front window, LCD display, battery pack and back cover.

I installed a heatsink on top of the metal shields.

Even so, in bad areas I would throw it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
[General Questions and Answers] iamromulan:
For sure! Heat dissipation is always an issue with these modems. I've found that installing a copper m.2 heatsink on them works wonders.

For the purpose of direct m.2 to Ethernet this kit takes it a step further by including a fan.

[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Are M.2's really the way to go?

I like "lean & mean" and definitely want my modem and my router to be completely separate.

But this stuff with having to tell it to connect after you apply power gives me pause.

Also, I don't dig these modems that lose LAN/HTTP connectivity when they scan.

And I've not had good experience with modems picking the right band.

Is there any modem that can survey the bands while keeping connected on the old band?

With a fixed location, that's easier.

I've got a lot of ignorance about cell stuff.
[General Questions and Answers] iamromulan:
Absolutely! This M.2 direct to Ethernet is kinda new to me and I'm still learning it's behaviors, but it's pretty much the same thing I'm used to with these with the added bonus of being able to access the Linux shell running on it via ADB.

Default, when connected normally to a m.2 to USB or direct in an m.2 slot in a modular router running OpenWRT with modem manager or GoldenOrb (OpenWRT flavor made for cellular modems) all the modem functions are controlled by AT commands. If you were to plug the m.2 modem via USB to a windows system, you would see an AT com port appear in device manager.

To answer your question, in my experience using GoldenOrb, there's a band scanner function that just parses an AT command and returns the response. From there you can lock to specific cells or band lock, all from the GoldenOrb interface (it's simply just sending more AT commands Durr this process) . I don't lose connection during the scan but if I were to set a band lock or cell lock the final AT command of that process is a modem reboot. You'll be able to see the modem disappear then reaper from OpenWRT/GoldenOrb/ or even in windows.

There are whole AT command PDFs for each m.2 modem you can usually find through Google. Direct customers/vendors through Quectel have access to a whole library of firmware, documentation, and tools.

I think the biggest thing that make these Quectel modems popular is one AT command in particular.......

AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEIGOESHERE"

I'll leave that to the imagination on what it exactly it does 😜
[General Questions and Answers] iamromulan:
Oh and you don't have to tell it to connect after you give it power. Once every thing is set proper via AT commands (Most cases just the APN) it sticks and auto connects. Most of the time you don't need it but just in case, the command AT+QPRTPARA=1 commits the current config to memory so it'll survive power cycles
[General Questions and Answers] rchris494:
i have been playing with this technology for a while now. i have found that you need to lock out certain bands because the speed is trash on some of them.

also the following is a bit more details on at commands and locking in certain bands that give good speeds.

i have a EM160-GL that is a paperweight for my ATT plan. i guess when i upgraded my 2nd phone. i am no longer able to use it. kind of sucks because. i just bought the damn thing 3 months ago and put a copper heat sink on it.

now i am on the RM502Q-AE i have it in a ZBT WG1608 router. running ROOter/GoldenOrb firmware that i build myself from the openwrt snapshot & their addons. i dropped $300 on the RM502 and i am kind of disappointed because the speeds seem to be the same as the EM160. i seem to think that the router is causing some sort of bottle neck. especially when it comes to 5G, but i also think ATT does not have real 5G SA (stand alone). instead it combines 5G & LTE to get it speeds. known as NSA (non stand alone).

this forum thread is the main creator of the ROOter/GoldenOrb firmware. Dairyman is the main creator of the firmware. jhend and a couple of others are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to this type of stuff. they are constantly updating for new routers before OpenWRT makes them official.

i only started playing with this stuff back in 2020 while the pandemic was going on. i had to find something to do to kill time. i am interested in what you are talking about as well. i mainly use the router as a hotspot when i travel because i cant justify paying the insane hotel prices for crap internet speeds.
