So you don't hate the OS, you hate the launcher. I tend to agree; it's quite poor. I dislike having the fixed search bar, and widget, that I can't set my own grid, can't have a paged dock, can't resize widgets, can't have different screens for the cover and inner screen, etc.

I'm running Action Launcher; even with what's broken it's a significantly better experience.
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
Part of the problem is no twrp so you can't restore a backup when your testing things. As well as that most tweaks that are in custom ROMs are available as stand alone magisk/xposed mods. Pretty much the only 2 features i want which aren't available with stand alone mods are. Force apps fullscreen on inner screen and 4 apps in multiwindow. Pretty sure both of these can be achieved using magisk/xposed
[Google Pixel Fold] simplepinoi177:
It seems that much of what are you dissatisfied with is achievable through rooting the device. I don't know if that's on purpose by Google or not. But if you can unlock your bootloader and root, even though it's not on the stock ROM and requires a bunch of extra steps, you should still be able to do most (if not all) of those things on this device...
[Google Pixel Fold] hanschke:
Can you give us the url for the xposed moduls please
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
Sorry you misunderstood, I'm saying it can be achieved by creating xposed/magisk mods not that they are available. Certainly forcing apps into fullscreen shouldn't be too difficult
[Google Pixel Fold] XDM inc:
Mostly, but even the things I mentioned like the lack of app locking and the missing ability to pin apps and memory while you clear everything else. And also for some reason to clear everything button is all the way to the left. So you have to scroll all the way to the left instead of a being on the bottom or to the right. No dual apps.
[Google Pixel Fold] XDM inc:
Rooting definitely is an option I was about to the other day but I didn't want to wipe my system data to do it and I'm really glad to have tap to pay again after not having it on my mi9 (tap to pay just permanently broke after a while and I can't track that. What happened to it)
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
Google pay is working with root and most banking apps with safety net fix etc, you just need to do a little reading. AOSP mods adds a close all apps button on the every screen in recents. Rooting won't wipe your device but unlocking the bootloader does unfortunately

I haven't played with ROMs since the Galaxy S4. I have been in Apple-cult land for the last 3 years. I'm so excited to be back on Android and am currently trying to negotiate with my carrier to unlock my bootloader...

I use Infinix hot 8 lite with Android 8.1 arm32 cpu architecture
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The steps on how to upgrade your OS to a higher version will vary depending on the operating system you are using. Here are the general steps involved:

Check if your computer meets the system requirements for the newer OS version.

Back up your data. This is important in case anything goes wrong during the upgrade process.

Download the installation media for the newer OS version. This can be done from the manufacturer's website or from a trusted source.

Boot your computer from the installation media.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade process.
[General Questions and Answers] Whinhosa:
No these are the steps for a computer systems

I wanted the upgrading for Android phones
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Correct. My bad.

Anyways: Depends on whether a related OTA exists or not, IMHO.
[General Questions and Answers] Whinhosa:
I see,

Is there any other way for me to do that though.

And what do you mean by IMHO

If you have an OTA can you send me the link
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Because the Infinix hot 8 lite ( SoC: Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 - 32/2 GB ) supports Fastboot mode you can try to upgrade manually what requires you as 1 thing of all things find a

1. Custom Revovery suitable to the phone ( e.g. TWRP )

2. Custom ROM 100% suitable to the phone ( e.g LineageOS )

If both successfully found then you

1. Unlock phone's bootloader ( To Unlock Bootloader Use MTKClient )

2. Flash the Custom Recovery ( To Install TWRP use SP Flash Tool )

3. By means of the flashed Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM
[General Questions and Answers] Whinhosa:
Okay understood

One last question tho, My phone uses arm32 can I download any custom ROM with arm64?

What I mean is will it work if I download an arm64 rom because I can't find any arm32 rom anywhere 🙂💔
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Of course you can download any custom ROM with arm64 if your phone uses arm32. BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

The ARM architecture is the underlying architecture of your phone's processor. The arm64 architecture is a newer version of the ARM architecture that is more powerful and efficient. If you download a custom ROM with arm64, it will not be compatible with your phone's processor and will not boot.
[General Questions and Answers] Whinhosa:
Okay I think I get the basic picture

What you are saying is that there are different types of phone's processor e.g ARM and arm64

And the right processor for my Infinix hot 8 lite is ARM or armeabi-v7a.

Please just suggest any custom ROM with upgraded OS for me based on the screenshots below.
[General Questions and Answers] Whinhosa:
Okay, thank you

I might just give up on finding a custom ROM for my Infinix then, because most custom roms I have been seeing are for only Arm64 or 64bit devices and I need a rom that Is for armeabi-v7a or 32bit device .😩💔 I'm so sad
[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] V2BlockBuster2K:
Hi everyone,

I tried installing Evo X on my Phone. I flashed the boot image and the the vendor_boot image, after that I went into recovery mode and it was just restarting really fast. After that it put me into recovery mode and if i try to reboot it into Normal or recovery mode it always boots into fastboot.

How can i fix this. What should I do?

Edit: Just fixed the Issue by installing the standard EU Miui rom onto it and now it works like before!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stilez:
I have been using Samsung devices, most recently S9+ (SM-G965F) and Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976B). Picking which custom AOSP based roms, kernels and recoveries might be compatible with which, is magic guesswork for me right now. I want to learn enough to approach it more thoughtfully.

To make the question more concrete, take my Note 10+ as an example, and just rooted LineageOS alone. As sold and running stock, the device doesn't use a ramdisk. Out there I can find:

An official build of LOS 20 and recovery by the LinageOS team. Rooting presumably installed by updating the LOS recovery using the Magisk app, then booting via recovery

Builds of LOS 16.x to 19.x by @Ivan_Meler, which come with a separate optional boot.img said to include Magisk already in kernel if latter is flashed.

Builds of LOS 18.x to 20.x and matching recoveries, by @Linux4 that contain fastbootd and ramdisk, therefore rooting achievable via usual Magisk app in normal (older) way. Other recoveries unsupported, to be fair.

Specialist kernels such as Cruel Kernel, that include Magisk built in (if built with that option)

Specialist recoveries like TWRP anbd OrangeFox (possibly patched by Magisk)

How do I tell which are compatible with which? For example, if I install some combination of system and recovery choice, then try to flash Cruel kernel, or LOS official recovery, or TWRP, some combinations are bootable as system, some bootable only as recovery, some bootable as both. Clearly some changes of recovery either overwrite the kernel, or somehow make the system no longer bootable as it did (either at all or rooted). Others are fine.

Right now its all trial and error. But I feel like it should be possible to deterministically tell which systems, recoveries, boot.img/kernel, and magisk patching, will boot or conflict.

Questions:

​

What are the main things that determine whether combination of system, recovery and (perhaps also standalone boot.img/kernel or Magisk patching) will work together, and which won't?

Is there a way I can figure out in advance whether some combination isnt worth trying, as its sure to fail boot?

Thanks!

Note

​

I'm possibly not running latest Android, and some packages I like are older anyway, so older unsupported versions from Lineage 16.0 to 20, as well as other AOSP based custom roms, are of interest. Not just latest versions. Call it curiosity.

I'm also interested in unsupported combinations - so the "recommended" combination isnt the only one Im curious about. Although I'll probably settle on some supported combination after exploring.

Hi guys!

got my pixel (used) in february and since then i couldn't get vpn nor otas to work,

well to be more precise i manage to connect it a couple of times to the vpn by erasing all data, but it doesn't work most of the time even by doing that.

For the otas never worked no matter how much time i wait, some times i waited till the next update with no luck, it seems that it get that there's one

tries to access it and download it but it immediately reverts back to the "you are updated".

Bootloader unlocked, and rooted with magisk.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
It is precisely because you are rooted that these things aren't working....

I believe the VPN issue stems from certain root-hiding methods, but it also might still apply even without such....

In order to update (while rooted), you'll need to do so manually (somewhat; there are tools that can automate it). The best is badabing2003's PixelFlasher if you want to apply root right after updating, or Android's official Android Flash Tool, but you will lose root (which is why PixelFlasher is better for continuing with root as it applies it right after the loss) and have to re-root (whether manually or otherwise).
[Google Pixel 7] Dudeany:
I thought so, but I preferred to confirm it with you guys.

The vpn thing bugs me the most since I manage to get it to work a couple of times.

Either way thanks

Hi,

I am looking to buy new GPS software for my Kaiser.

I am currently using a dodgy copy of TomTom7 that came on my second hand Kasier a few weeks ago and am so far very impressed with it.

Right now i have a shortlist of two. How do McGuider (am looking at 2009 version) and Garmin (XT version) compare to TomTom7? Should i throw Route 66 into the mix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mi643:
I never used Garmin, but I have tried Tomtom and McGuider. The main differents is that McGuider has a lot more eye candy, Really very Nice!

Whit both I had no complaints about the 'voice' and the instructions (dutch).

Only downside from Mcguider is that it is sometimes, a couple of meters, to late whit corners and the recalculation is a bit slow.....so don't drive to fast :rolleyes:.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ZootHornRollo:
thank you.

Expansys are doing a £10 off deal just now so i can get McGuider 2009 European Maps for around £45 or Route 66 8 UK maps for just £25. Seeing as i have only once had a car outside of the UK in the last 5 years the euro maps are far from essential so it comes down to how good the interface/operation is and how good the UK maps are.

Anyone used Route 66 8? have read mixed reviews so was hoping some of you folks may have first hand experience with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] cppc:
Are you talking about Garmin 3D map? I've never heard about ... Is it a totally new stuff that Garmin gives?

Also, I'm running iGo8 on my Kaiser, but I used to play with both Garmin Mobile XT and Tomtom. I dont know why people prefer TT rather than Garmin, may be just people in Europe ... To me Garmin is better in North America. And one more annoying issue in Tomtom is that, to quit the program you have to go to the final page of the menu ...

I tried TomTom 6 and Mobile Navigator 7 from Navigon.

TomTom is muuuuch easier to handle. In Navigon the buttons are so small and therefore not good to be pressed while driving. TomTom is intuitive and has the best performance in my opinion. Just don't use the biggest cards (like complete western europe) :) Then it will lag like hell if you browse the maps manually.

But I don't use navigation with my kaiser since my car got a tomtom one which can be used without any expensive and kaiser-specific car- or poweradapters :) The only bad thing with it is, that the kaiser has a better display with more lumen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] typo:
I've tried Tom Tom and Garmin, and vastly preferred TomTom. The POI database was much better and Garmin was a bit sluggish on my Tilt. The only complaint I have with TomTom is that it, if my phone is muted when it opens, there's no way to unmute without closing and reloading the program. It's also a bit ugly, but it just works too nicely to complain.

I tried iGo, but could never get the program to fully load on my system without crashing.

[Lenovo P11] jbmk:
Hi everyone,

I bought the lenovo p11 plus (TB-J616F) mainly for the GPS function. It worked fine for about a year until the update to android 12 started. From that day no GPS, downgraded back to android 11 GPS worked fine again.

There is a second model TB-J616X wich has the same hardware except for the cell phone possibility. Does the TB-J616X model has the same problem with GPS and android 12? Could the ROM file of the X model be used for the F model to get a functional GPS ? Are there other options to do un update to android 12 or even 13?

Hope to hear from you

very important: to keep your data, in "CSC" tab, select the file that starts with "HOME_CSC_..." to keep your data. it will update your firmware to 01-07-2023 (July 2023)

boot might take 10 minutes or more

Does anyone feel like the auto brightness in broad daylight is significantly worse after the latest update? Mine is G990BXXS6EWG9. I clearly remember being able to see without issues in daylight before the update. Today is a cloudy day, the phone on auto brightness and at max setting, and it feels very hard to see on it.

Update, I tried to restart the phone and fiddle with the auto brightness button. At some point, it got lower and a warning message appeared. It seems that if the phone overheats, the auto brightness gets lower and not to it's highest setting. Don't know if this was the same in the past but it is very noticeable and annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] musmax:
Most likely it has overheated and the brightness is kept low to avoid damage to the device.

Let it cool down and you will see that the brightness will return to maximum levels.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Yes, it does this to prevent overheating but it's messing with the highest peak of the display which is not in the user's control so there's nothing we can do about it. On the previous firmware versions I didn't have this problem and the phone would be able to go to the max advertised nits. I think they should leave this option to the user honestly. They brag about the nits with every phone they put out there but what's the point anymore if they're going to limit it a few months down the road anyway.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Imyman:
How much free space does your phone have right now? Try and move any extra files, photos, media onto your storage card. Have you tried deleting all your temp files and clearing out your browser history etc. Try not to have a very loaded today screen. Those can slow your phones down considerably. Also make sure you close (tap and hold x on most WM phones) all programs when not running them.

It sounds like the call log database is slowing down your device. You can back up the various WinMo databases with dotFred's PIM Backup then erase them from your phone. You might find it faster.
