Hey everyone. I haven't been able to get the modified app to run yet, but I did find a workaround for our rebooting issue with bluetooth headsets & speakers.

The issue seems to come from the app trying use the Bluetooth audio as an input, but never switching to a mode that enables the Bluetooth microphone. The workaround? Use an app that forces the Bluetooth headset into a mode that enables the mic.

The easiest app for me to use is BTMono, found on the Google Play Store. Just install it, connect your Bluetooth device, open the app, grant the permissions it requires, and turn it on. When you change volume using the hardware buttons, you will notice that the Bluetooth icon on the volume slider is not there. Now, 2 things happen. First, the app does not crash even with Bluetooth connected. Second, the app actually uses the Bluetooth microphone! We will take advantage of this later.

An alternative open source app is called Blue Sound, and is available on GitHub. If you prefer to download from F-Droid, search for Blue Mono Sound. This seems to work just as well.

Could you provide a copy of the dmr radio app? I would like to take a look if it is possible to modify it to support ts1 and ts2. I'm fairly sure the hardware supports it just fine.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
You can easily extract the app from your phone, or from the firmware on ulefone's Google Drive location.

I am also certain this device can support dual time slots, but it won't be the easiest thing to do. Fields will need to be added to the databases, support for those fields will need to be added to the related methods, and we need to figure out where and how to insert those values into the string that gets sent to the dmr serial interface.

In addition to this, I believe the dmr module in this phone is the same one that is in the Atom XL (DMR09 or DMR009). The problem is that the interface is completely different. The Atom XL has an mcu that talks over USB and takes over the data port. The Armor 20WT uses a serial interface independent of USB, so the old Intercom program doesn't know how to use it. This allows us to do interesting things, like hold a conversation over DMR while, for example, my (tr)uSDX is connected to the USB port and making a QSO with FT8CN at the same time. That was the highlight of my day today.

First things first, though...we need to know how to get the modified DMR app to run on either the stock firmware, or on custom firmware signed ourselves. Is this something you can help with?
[General Topics] hene193:
Great the firmware is available. Thanks. If I had the phone I'd extract the apk from there but I thought I better fix the app first. Going to try decompiling route.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
FYI, I was just told that Ulefone released an updated ROM for the Armor 20WT. I haven't loaded it up yet, but I did decompile the Interphone app and it looks like repeater split frequencies should work now, and there might also be dual timeslot support finally. Everyone should beat the crap out of Ulefone's google drive storage by downloading this rom. I will provide a list of updates as soon as I can get my phone updated.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Ok, finally got this new firmware loaded up and tested. Here's the good news:

1) After nearly 6 months with this phone, I can finally talk on a freakin' repeater. I will never understand why Ulefone sold it with a bug that severe and proceeded to take 6 months to correct the issue.

2) Dual Time Slot support has been added. We can now select Slot 1, Slot 2 or Direct mode, which means we can also use DMR repeaters finally! (most repeaters don't respond to direct mode with this DMR chip.)

3) The phone no longer reboots on transmit when connected to a bluetooth audio device. Confirmed that by default it uses the phone's built-in mic for transmit audio even when connected to bluetooth.

4) Channels actually get saved when you add a channel from the Channels tab.

So, all the major bugs that I was aware of have been fixed. There are still some minor bugs that need to be addressed, but none of those are showstoppers. There are also still some features that I'm sure all of us would like to see. Hopefully Ulefone can be convinced to continue development on this app.
[General Topics] kc4ssd:
So where is the rom to download? I did go the Ulefone support site and it is not on the download section. It only has files from April. I bought this phone several months ago and really need the radio to work so I dont carry 2 devices. Can I download the Rom elsewhere?? I did email tech support too and they seemed oblivious about what I even needed. Thanks everyone!

Has anyone else had issues setting bluetooth volume?? The ring is ear blasting through BT in car with BT connected but then volume too low to hear. If you dont remember to turn down the volume next time it rings it is defening.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
In true Ulefone fashion, The only rom they updated was the Non-EU version. Also, the name of the file says it is the august 2023, but the folder inside it still says March. It you're rooted, I can supply a magisk module to replace the interphone app on your phone with the latest one. I assume that will work, but haven't tested it.
[General Topics] kc4ssd:
I would love it if you could send me what I need and some basic instructions! Greatly appreciated. I am happy to test and try it.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Ok, give this a go.

If you haven't already rooted your phone, follow the instructions in post #2.

Once you have Magisk installed and running, you can install the attached module. If there are issues with it, just remove the module in Magisk.
[General Topics] kc4ssd:
Thank you I will try it out next week at work!
[General Topics] y2kosmos:
I have been unable to get my phone 20wt to start any sort of firmware update. I have followed the instructions in the files (volume up / down/ etc) but have so far failed to get the pc to recognise the phone or any sort of port to perform a firmware update.

Would someone be so kind as to pont me in the right direction in this ??

Many thanks.
[General Topics] Capt commando:
Good news, all you have to do is go into settings,system, and do a system update. All the radio setting have been fixed.
[General Topics] kc4ssd:
I dont show an update available?? Says it is current from 05-23. No update available
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Complain to Ulefone. Ask when the EU version of the 20WT will get the same updates that the Non-EU version got.
[General Topics] cb1986ster:

I have sent multiple messages and I'm getting no response from them... So frustrating. I can't even get my phone to pop up in the firmware tool, so unable to update firmware manually either. No updates for me 😞

[General Topics] Jimroberts:
Hey! I was wondering if there has been any development on TWRP or orangefox for creating nandroid backups?
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Yes, the new version of firmware fixes the offset Tx and Rx frequency issue, fixes the bluetooth reboot issue, and finally has support for dual timeslots. The firmware is still only available as non-eu firmware and the filename has a date of 20230826, the modified date for the file is September 24, 2023. Note that the directory modified date does not change, and still says April 1, 2023, confirming that this phone's release was indeed a joke.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
well...yes and no. Lopestorm did build a TWRP version for the Armor 20WT. I have tested it and it is working on the original Non-EU firmware dated 20230327. However, he states that the device tree is incomplete. I'm not sure what this means.

Unfortunately, now that we have the new version of firmware, the TWRP he built causes either continuous bootloops (this might have been caused by the modded lk image), or it hangs on the splash screen. Also, I have no idea if it will work on the EU version of firmware, it probably does the same thing.

So, that being said, I'm not comfortable with sharing the recovery.
[General Topics] johnlightbulb:
Hi can any one help did they sort the TX/RX out so you can use a repeater with a offset please if so HOW thanks john

[General Topics] johnlightbulb:
Many thanks but can you put the non-eu on a eu phone what would happen if you did ? Please
[General Topics] clewis.it:
From the Ulefone support website. It has a link to their Google Drive storage here:

3060 TF3 Armor 20WT (Android 12) - Google Drive

drive.google.com

Unfortunately, I'm not sure. I have heard of phones losing their TEE (Trusted Environment Execution) keys on the Armor 3W, but I'm not positive if that was related to flashing the wrong type of ROM. You're welcome to try it, but I won't be able to help with any issues you experience, and I can't be sure whether simply reflashing the EEA version would put everything back the way it's supposed to be.

The other option is to root your phone with Magisk and install the module with the updated Interphone app that I provided earlier. That's how I'm currently running my phone, using the March firmware and the updated app on Magisk.
[General Topics] johnlightbulb:
Got this reply from ulephone this morning regarding the TX/RX fault with the 20WT

[General Topics] DJGiampy:
Hi to everybody, after installing non-eu firmware, google play security update show the update dimension 3,1Mb, download, install and when reboot still remain at April 2023. When you search for security updates show the same update, so you proceed again to download and restart but won't install. Restored to factory default without success.
[General Topics] hene193:
This module was pretty easy route to take. Works fine in analog mode. DMR seems to behave oddly still. Cannot hear groups from repeaters.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
This app is still screwy. You have to add the talk group to the receive group list at the bottom of the channel in addition to putting it in the group field.
[General Topics] hene193:
Thanks. I would have never guessed that. Now it seems to work.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Yeah, I forgot about it myself, and it was driving me crazy earlier this week trying to figure out why my hotspot said it was transmitting and I wasn't hearing anything. Glad I could help.
[General Topics] NielsDerksen:
Interesting...

So if I understand everything good, for the EU model to get the repeater shift working, and DMR timeslots,

I have to replace the Radio App.

The Radio App was posted here.

To do so, I root my phone, and push de Radio App thru ADB to te phone.

Maybe I have to delete the old Radio App, am I correct?
[General Topics] clewis.it:
I believe the file system is read only, so adb modifications won't stick. If you root with magisk, just use the module provided and let me know if it works.
[General Topics] hene193:
The module works fine with magisk on EU firmware.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
I have made very little progress on getting this app working on AOSP, but I did find a small bit of success. While the app crashes on transmit or receive on both analog and digital channels, I am able to send and receive DMR messages. I have been able to successfully send and receive messages on the APRS Thursday net using the DMR bridge. So, I specifically need to look for framework classes dealing with audio that might not be on AOSP. Hopefully this will be the clue I need to get this working. FYI, I'm currently testing with Android 14, and haven't seen any major issues.
[General Topics] NielsDerksen:
Some feedback:

YES!!! It works :). I have (finaly) received my Armor 20 WT today after being verry long in the mail from China.

I rooted the phone, put Majisk on, an d installed the patch.

The patch works! It's great, and I am verry thankfull for creating the patch.

Does someboddy know... In the Channel in edit mode, you can add at the bottem "group lists".

Why is that? Is that the group's that you hear over DMR? If it is nog in there, than you hear nothing?
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Yes, the group list is for talk groups that you want to hear. If your talk group is not in the list, you will not hear it. So, make sure whatever talk group you put in the Group Number field is also added to your group list.
[General Topics] gearjunkie340:
So Ive gone through every language setting I can find on the Ulefone 20WT and set all to English. Yet when I can the volume, it only speaks Chinese. Anyone know how to change this?

Did you need to disable dm-verity and verified boot before by flashing an empty vbmeta before flashing the patched boot image?
[General Topics] lllmartini:
Does anybody know where to download the firmware for the 20wt ?

The ulephone site points to a broken google drive. I'm looking for the latest firmware that was sent out a couple of months ago.

For rooting, the blank vbmeta is not necessary. For custom roms, it might help.

I have a copy of the non-EU firmware files, but I'm not sure where to share them from. Let me figure that out and then I will post a link.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
Well, I finally found out what I am missing to get interphone fully working on custom roms. I found a program called tinyserver that appears to provide the PCM read function that I've been seeing as errors in logcat.

The problem now figuring out how to run it on a custom rom. It just gives an error running it as either a normal user or root. The init file seems to indicate that it runs as the audioserver user, but that doesn't seem to do anything either.

I will keep on working on this, but if anyone has any ideas, I could use them at this point.
[General Topics] lllmartini:
Ulephone is attempting to push an update to my non-eu 20WT and I want the ROM before I allow it. I have the GQ3060TF3_KSE7_Ulefone_20230826_V01_Non_EU.zip rom , but not the new one from 20231025.

Have you updated your 20WT ? did it work , or break the rooted phone ?
[General Topics] clewis.it:
I

I'm running the 10/2023 firmware. I constantly get the update notice, it seems like it never installs. It's funny because the update looks like it is meant for the August firmware, so it shouldn't be needed for the October firmware.

The only reason I haven't rolled back to the August firmware is because I don't want to clear my storage.
[General Topics] clewis.it:
ok, so here is what I understand so far. tinyserver provides an ALSA service. I can run it from a terminal window in the stock ROM and it starts. When I run it in a GSI, it gives an error saying it called incStrongRequireStrong() which isn't already owned. I have no idea what that means, and Google is failing to give me anything useful.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hoping this post is still active. Does anyone know if it's possible to plugin a wired 3.5mm push to talk (with adapter of course) and it be able to function with the built in radio?

Not that I'll aware of. Any ptt speaker mic adapters that I have seen treat the ptt button like the the multifunction button on regular headsets. It won't work like a ptt button.

Well, the good news is that I have loaded LineageOS from 2024-07. The VNDKlite version does not boot, but the non-vndk lite boots perfectly. The bad news is that there are a lot of things that don't work. Fingerprint scanner doesn't work, FM radio is not supported, and the walkie talkie module is not yet working. Camera works, but face unlock may not work depending on the ROM.

Hi team. Very long time XDA member with a weird issue or I'm just crazy. The latter could be it but until I get an answer, I won't admit to crazy...lol.

Anyways, I read and watched that with good lock and homeup, I would be able to ditch this horrible horizontal scrolling. however, I do not have said switch. (see pic). I've deleted all good lock and apps a few times to reinstall and still have the same issue.

Does anyone else have this issue? Or am I just Crazy?

Okay so here's my problem.

Tried to flash asop gsi. Installed twrp used fast boot through twrp and tried to flash.

Error: system no such binary or directory..

I googled. Google told me to flash to (super) so I did.

Stuck bootlooping now. Can't access fastboot can't flash official firmware with Odin.

I have tired using smart switch no luck. Tried reinstalling twrp not booting to recovery.

Tried to re partition in Odin (with pip) no luck

I believe I did also try the re partition command in fastboot but failed.

If you know how to fix any help would be useful
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Zinoooo:
Update: found out file and flashed with Odin and now stock is flashing. I'm not even joking I was bricked. The tablet died and that was that it wouldn't turn on wouldn't charge nothing luckily I realized it would turn on if I held power and volume down for about 1 min and it would just show Samsung for a few mins and turn off. So held all buttons and magically it booted to download mode.

I personally have no issues with it.

I use both an iPhone 14 pro Max with the fastest mobile processor, and the pixel 7 Pro, and I've never come across a situation where I've felt the tensor is less capable.

I don't game too much on it, but Genshin Impact ran perfectly on it, and the phone is buttery smooth.

On an older firmware I had thermal issues, that caused the phone to disable the screen until I forced a reboot, and I had the dreaded green flickering on the screen, which got really bad even after Google fixed the power issue.

I thought the green flickering was further damage, but the last firmware update seems to have completely fixed that, so I think that's nothing at all to go with the tensor chip.

So, what issues have you had with specifically with this chip, if any?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LazCoder:
Tensor G2 works fast and smooth for me. As fast as an iPhone 14 Pro and even smoother.

Thx for asking, I've been a fan for a while when it comes to pixel; I pre-ordered the 7 pro , & absolutely enjoyed it until summertime where I live. I still enjoy but unfortunately while playing games like Diablo, I managed to fry a couple sensors. Pixel honored the warranty, and now I have back again. As long as I'm not trying to play demanding games outside, the device is buttery smooth no problems. Even playing games I'm good except it wanting to overheat after a little while. Honestly, I miss the snapdragon chips even though most might not agree with me. Overall I still like the Pixel 7 Pro.❤️

Same here. I can deal with the average battery life (it's not atrocious as some have said) but Tensor G2 overheats too much for my taste. I can certainly feel it now that it's summer and temperatures are an average 100 degrees F (or 40 degrees C): its gets uncomfortable a little too fast.
