[Magisk] _umbra:
P.S. Sorry to bother as I am currently at work but does it matter which hosts file I modify? As a magisk user I'm aware that installing the systemless hosts module will create a new directory that sort of mirrors the original /system/etc/hosts path.

I've only worked with the actual /system/etc/hosts path. I'm hearing I have to modify the magisks created hosts file :3 I'm writing this in hopes that other users may have a better understanding since AFAIK there's only 1 online article that I've found that mentions this nuance...

EDIT: I just figured out that adaway could be what I'm looking for. Thanks everyone :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mspace00:
I am looking to remap the <- key to be the "OK" button in WM. I don't use this key, and for the life of me can't think of a reason to, so it seems more intuitive to have it be the TPs "missing" button. TIA :)

-Space
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] noellenchris:
Well, I'll start by saying there are several posts about the remap of buttons on xda. You should try searching first.

Anyhow, try AEBPlus and find those other posts which explain in detail how to remap (mostly the PTT button).. Good luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mspace00:
tried searching but most info was for other devices, so I thought I would post here. I will give AEBPlus a shot. Thanks!

-Space
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mspace00:
Unfortunately it appears (both from searching and from trying) that AE button does not work for the Home and Back keys on the TP. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] noellenchris:
I'm using it, wish they would update it to support the TP better. However, when mapping a new key, you have to hold the button down. this will show u the key code for that key, but it is only for long press. So this may be a partial fix. Otherwise, I'm not sure how to map the main function of that button. Maybe it's like the PTT and their is a file that is assigned to that key like the PTT_short.lnk ? Anyway good luck...hopefully someone will map these keys out or AEBPlus will update since the last update was in May 08...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] scotchua:
What exactly are you trying to accomplish by mapping the back key to be "ok"? It essentially functions the same way, closing whatever window you're in and taking you ot the prior one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mspace00:
I am looking for the ok/close feature I had on my i730. Using the back button allows the app I am leaving to continue to run instead of closing the program.

-Space
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bugsykoosh:
Why don't you just map the PTT to close? I presume you know how to remap the PTT button and here is a way to map it to 'close': http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249

I have no PTT button

[Xiaomi 11T] T08145:
So, first of all: I am completely new to this forum and I've never rooted any Android Device before in my life. Also, English is not my first language, so please excuse me.

I really wanted to root my Xiaomi Device since I am more than sick of Xiaomi's MIUI. I can't even keep my gesture controls when using a Third-party Launcher. And the camera-processor also is not good enough for me. To be honest, I found some other guides but I just wanted to ask in the forum to REALLY be sure of what I am doing. I don't want to brick my device since it is the only one I have. I currently have MIUI Global 14.0.4 installed.

In the best case scenario, I want to install Pixel Experience. Otherwise, only that I can keep gestures on third-party launchers (Nova launcher). If you guys say that it is probably better to not root my Xiaomi, I won't do it and just stick with my problems.

So, these are the things I want to know:

• Is it even possible to root a Xiaomi 11T

• What's the percentage of me bricking my device

• How can I root it

• If I SHOULD do it

• If there was any success with a Xiaomi 11T in the past

• In the worst case scenario, how can I unbrick my phone

• What's the best method to backup my data

Thanks to all who read this and or reply!
[Xiaomi 11T] strayh_:
The root process is like any other process for Xiaomi devices, simply open the bootloader, then download the ROM for your phone and extract the file Boot.img Then flash it inside the Majesk application, then copy the new file (you can often find it in the downloads folder on your phone), copy it to your computer, put your device into fastboot mode, then flash the file, and congratulations on the root
[Xiaomi 11T] T08145:
Hello!

Thank you for replying! I have "a few" more questions.

Should I just stay at MIUI or should I try Pixel Experience? I heard the camera app is not working with it. And how do I even flash other ROMs? How would I update MIUI to not get stuck in a bootloop?
[Xiaomi 11T] ShinomiyaRyo:
short answer: don't

until now xiaomi 11t haven't got a stable twrp
[Xiaomi 11T] T08145:
But I can root, right?
[Xiaomi 11T] ShinomiyaRyo:
Yes you can
[Xiaomi 11T] T08145:
But I can root, r

Thanks for you help!

But, how would I do this? Extract my boot.img, than patch it with magisk? And after this, how would I continue?
[Xiaomi 11T] ShinomiyaRyo:
Have you unlock your bootloader?

If you have I suggest you reading this https://xdaforums.com/t/root-xiaomi-11t-official.4518345/
[Xiaomi 11T] T08145:
No, I will when I have a full guide to follow since I don't want to mess anything up.

Now, I already looked into this, but this did not help me since you need to first flash TWRP and, as many commented, this is hardly possible on Xiaomi 11T. I don't even know if I have amber or agate because I did not find anything on the internet that tells the difference of these. I've decided against flashing any ROM on it and, as of now, I only want to root this thing.
[General Topics] kutty7:
I'm trying to install Google Play Games from the play store. It downloads fine, and says it's installed. But it never shows "Open", doesn't appear as an app, and if I force close Play Store and relaunch, then the install button is shown.

I'm on Android 10, but can't update as my further than this.

This tablet has had this installed https://19216811.cam/ previously. When I attempted to copy everything over to a new tablet, it uninstalled and it's been unable to put it back on.

I'm doing this because I need to link a game to Play in order to move my progress over to the new tablet, and suspect this is the reason why linking it is failing
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Yasuooooo:
Hello,

AToday I want to install a custom Rom on my Redmi note 12 but this phone is way too new to tell me not to buy another one because I can't. So I wanted to know how to do it yourself to make this custom rom compatible with my phone. I hope you will answer me.

Have a nice day.

Yasuo
[Redmi Note 12 4G] TechX1991:
Not generally as easy as it used to be. You'd either have to learn to compile from source code with linux or ubuntu, or how to use a GSI ROM. Either way bootloader has to be unlocked
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Elmarigo:
Hello!

I m just browsing XDA for finding which current smartphone still has some custom ROMs, because sadly custom ROMs have become a somewhat rare ocurrence.

Soon I will need to buy a new phone, and I was lookiong in XDA's Xiaomi section, because Xiaomi hones often had a good amount of custom ROMs available.

Now as you are saying there was a Pixel Experience ROM (which I am not specifically interested in btw.), I was curious how you now this, because it doesn't seem to be announced here in the forum.

So I possibly need to improve my search strategy!?

My questions are;

1) Why do I find barely any custom ROM here on XDA anymore? Am I doing something wrong?

2) And: How do you know about the 'Pixel Experience' custom ROM for the Redmi Note 12 4G? Of couse just using Google one can often find something. But how can I know it'S serious and not a scammer trying to spread whatever?

Thank you! :)
[Redmi Note 12 4G] vadfene:
seems like everything is on Telegram - and you'd better learning indonesian malay language to get any support. Major ROMs all have unofficial releases there
[Redmi Note 12 4G] TechX1991:
sounds more like you're just looking at the wrong phones. Custom roms aren't becoming a rare occurrence at all.

1.) XDA organizes things weirdly now. go to a specific device and search via development. If its not a popular phone, you won't find many roms. if its difficult to develop for, you won't find many roms. If it requires exploitation for bootloader unlocks, you probably won't find much for it. For example, my favorite phone currently is the Microsoft Surface Duo... No roms at all, despite it being bootloader unlockable easily, there's 1 rom for it. That's it.

2.) I'm in the usa, we don't get redmi's and such here very often. Don't use google. My personal only trusted source is xda. I don't trust telegram, discord, etc.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Elmarigo:
Yes, xda is making it harder with their changes.

With 'many' ROMs I mean like at löeast 20 different custom ROMs for a given phone. Last two year I have only seen phones with between 0 custom ROMs and about 5 custom ROMs, with the 5 custom ROMs always being the same boring stuff with too few customization possibilities, like Pixel Experience and whatever, but I need something like Resurrecion Remox was. So I am looking for an OK currentphone with a good and stabkle custom ROM :)

But generally the problem is: I want to know which phone has the best choice available. But I have to select single phones and check them piece by piece here ..

Isn't there a vbetter way?

The reason I was checking Xiaomi phones is because these are popular, at least in Europe from what I know. Of course only the Qualcom models are relevant for custom ROMs. Also Samsung phones are.

I think all phones have annoying bootloader protections nowadays :(

The terrible times of Xiaomi having a time gate on the allowed unlocks are over btw, whih makes it at least a bit better than before.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] ComradeWave:
AFAIK, the only telegram group that actively develops ROMs is this one. Although I'd suggest using more developed custom ROMs, such as Xiaomi.eu (this phone is supported, so you can straight up install it).

@ggow are you still looking for something like this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Da9L:
Hey

As the topic title suggest i have been thinking alot about this ..

Since many people hate the way you change between words when using the phonepad on the diamond (either by tapping on the word, or by using the d-pad which can be tricky) i thought: hey what about using the nav wheel to scroll between words? when scroling in one direction it will go left and when scrolling another direction it will go right..

There is the one solution however which would be to change to the new Touc HD Keypad which has arrows.. This works really great, but the keys are too small if you ask me..

I am no programmer, but i wish i were, but is this possible and if it is, how hard would it be to make?

And is this idea good at all ?

~D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orgeoN:
I am no programmer either, but oh my fuc*ing god that sounds like a great idea :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Da9L:
Just bringing this to the top.. :) Just want to hear if this is a good idea.. ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] smotrs:
Not a bad idea. But the NAV button isn't as hard as you think once you figure it out. Don't try pushing the button itself, but push to the left or the right of the button.

See the following thread to understand what I mean.

I used to hate the NAV button until I came across the article above.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] RichardTenggren:
Nice idea, i have think about it self:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] smotrs:
The only potential problem I see is that anything written or developed would also have to disable the Zoom funtion of the NAV wheel when the dictionary is visible and reenable it when it's not.

Otherwise it would scroll and zoom at the same time.

Dear Developer,

The rom is very stable and works almost perfect. Could be used as a daily driver...

Problems i faced:

>> i am facing an issue where i am not able to restore my WhatsApp backup from local storage, even though all permissions are granted... It seems there's some sort of issue with the file system format or with the new DYNAMIC partitioning system.

>> The UI jitters sometimes and is very noticeable

apart from that, the camera works flawlessly, system operations are smooth, battery usage is also fine and overall pretty great rom.

Lastly, if you can, could you see if theres a workaround for the whatsapp issue...

for the mean time i have reverted back to evolutionx android12.

thank you!

Hi,

does anyone know how to completely disable NavBar in android 13? I tried these procedures (first and second procedures), but with no effect. I use last version Turbo UI ROM.

Thank you

if you want to remove the gesture hint as that bar is called it's the amongst the other settings when you select gesture navigation.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kevin.kvik:
Thank you, but I need disable gesture too. I'm using LMT Launcher and gestures are breaking it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] 3mel:
there probably is something you can turn off with a terminal command and su but that itself could cause you problems outside of the launcher. this is a bad idea, give up on it and get another launcher.

I have operated this option on previous phones. I know what I want and what it entails.

EDIT: Solved by hex installer app

Not entirely sure if someone here can help me with this, but the media player on Car Launcher Pro doesn't work anymore with Spotify and I'm wondering if someone has a fix for that. Would be MUCH appreciated!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
I've been eyeing iPlay 50 Pro, but I've noticed it only has Android 12. Based on previous Alldocube tablets, do you guys think there is a chance they'll offer at least one upgrade, to Android 13? Or will it stay on 12, and that's it.

It's kind of weird that iPlay 50 Mini, on the other hand, is on 13 out of the box.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightLord:
After unlocking bootloader, GSI version of Android 13 based Lineage OS can be installed on the device without problems.

Lineage OS also provides regular security updates. Eventually probably Android 14 will also be available. (I have have not checked A14 compatibility of the device yet but it should work).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
But is there Lineage OS for this device available at all? I don't remember seeing it for any iPlays so far.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightLord:
GSI is generic version not device specific. A GSI can be flashed to any treble-enabled device, which the iPlay 50 Pro is.

You can download the lineage GSI builds from here:

Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-20-td at SourceForge.net

sourceforge.net

Im using

lineage-20.0-20230716-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img.xz

variant, which has google play services integrated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
Sounds great. How is it with compatibility, i.e. functioning of various parts of the tablet? Even with the device specific builds it used to be that not everything was supported (or not yet when a device was new).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightLord:
As far as I know, the whole project trebble concept is about making it sure that hardware functions of treble compatible tablets work when using any GSI firmware. See here for more info:

Here comes Treble: A modular base for Android

android-developers.googleblog.com
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ferrels:
Just a quick question. Is this the correct process to flash a GSI to this device withtout installing TWRP?

1. Unlock the bootloader, enable oem unlock in developer options, then "fastboot flashing unlock"

2. Perform a system reset

3. adb boot bootloader

4. fastboot erase system

5. fastboot -u flash system name_of_system.img

6. fastboot reboot

And does LineageOS support root under the developer options?

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
I already tried this process but failed. There seems to be another lock control in place as the fastboot erase and fashboot flash will result into error due to some form of lock. I already enabled USB debugging and OEM unlocking in Developer's Options. Also, executed "fastboot flashing unlock" in bootloader mode (I got a positive response of OK after unlocking).

To my understanding, the whole process of flashing GSI requires magisk-patched bootloader.img and vbmeta.img. But when I tried to flash patched bootloader and vbmeta in bootloader I also got a lock control error.

I will try to use the MTK flashtool from the Alldocube website.

NightLord, we need your assistance. Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nmajin:
I just bought the Alldocube iPlay 50 Mini, so curious about this as well when I eventually see it stall with Android 14 :)

By the way, would GSI work for Rockchip devices as well? I confirmed the TJD tablet I have does support Treble
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
I think I just found the correct method of flashing GSI to this tablet.

Here are the steps (for advance user's only): Do it at your own risk. I am not liable if your tab gets bricked.

01. Enable the Developer's options

02. Enable OEM unlocking (developer's option)

03. Enable USB debugging (developer's option)

04. In command prompt type "ADB devices" and then press allow USB debugging in the tablet.

05. ADB reboot bootloader

06. fastboot flashing unlock

07. In the tablet there is a very small text prompt, -- press "volume up" immediately (this is what I missed last time)

08. fastboot flashing unlock_critical

09. In the tablet there is a very small text prompt, -- press "volume up" immediately (this is what I missed last time)

10. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (I've used the magisk-patched vbmeta.img from stock)

11. fastboot flash boot boot.img (this is optional. I've used the magisk-patched boot.img from stock)

12. fastboot erase system_a (note:there is no system partion in this tablet)

13. fastboot flash system_a system.img (note: system.img is your downloaded GSI.xz and extracted)

14. fastboot -w

15. fastboot reboot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
Yey! I just successfully flashed the latest version of Derpfest Android 13 . It's working fine.

My recommendation is:

1. Omit the step 14 is just posted. Instead use the volume keys to enter Recovery immediately (otherwise it will reboot in a few sec).

2. from recovery, wipe data/factory reset.

3. Reboot.

4. Setup Derpfest and enable developer's option.

5. set the width to 720dp.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ferrels:
Thanks. I'll give this a try in the coming months. Waiting to see if Alldocube is going to release Android 14 for this device first.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtrakx:
Alldocube moving to Android 14? Well, that will happen two years from now when Alldocube released their new tablet -- but not for Iplay 50 Pro. We're all stuck at A12 unless we update it ourselves.

BTW, Android14 beta 4 GSIs are available now for download. I will probably try it myself next month.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neuromancer:
Just received Pro recently. The default UI is horrible -- it's still the same one as with iPlay 40 series (ugly rectangular icons with strange grid for their positioning).

iPlay 50 Mini, on the other hand, while already on Android 13 out of the box, has an acceptable UI (one that doesn't really cry "give me Nova Launcher"), though.

What's the deal with system updates here? I mean, like on iPlay 40, the updates section of Settings says "up to date"; however, when I checked https://www.alldocube.com/en/firmware/alldocube-iplay50prot1030m-firmware-download/ it seems it's 5 updates behind (my out of the box is iPlay50Pro(T1030M)_EN_20230324).

My iPlay 50 Mini already updated OTA once or twice since I bought it, and its version corresponds to the latest one on the support website. Maybe they finally got it right...

I'll play with it for a day or two, and then try out GSI on it.
