[Video Tutorials] XDA Etiquette, Compiling Custom Roms/Kernels

Praise God! A video tutorial about XDA etiquette! These videos express my personal opinion, and are not necessarily the opinion of XDA. I am not speaking on their behalf. This is just a video series that I put together based on a recommendation...

xdaforums.com

[Guide] Zero to Hero, what to do when your phone has nothing, no TWRP, no custom roms....

Because I created the video series on how to build custom roms and kernels, I get a lot of questions. Most of those questions are exactly the same. One of the most common questions that I get alot in regards to building custom roms for Android...

Alright will check these out! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Earth-Chan:
Sorry for the boldness but wouldn't it be better to create a functional TWRP first? Before creating custom roms? Sorry if what I said is wrong. I don't know much about this 😅 Likewise, I wish you luck with your project. Keep us informed of any news!
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] YoussefAfia:
From what i see, there is a partially working one. I think you can flash a custom rom without TWRP tho
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Earth-Chan:
Surely you can flash a custom roms without recovery. However, you have fewer tools since you can create backup copies of partitions with the custom recovery and in general It makes the process less cumbersome. You mentioned that there is already a TWRP (partially built). Could you pass it to me? If it's not too much of a problem, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] YoussefAfia:

A working TWRP build is not possible yet for this device as I've already explained here: https://xdaforums.com/t/when-will-u...released-to-galaxy-a54.4641614/#post-89166882
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] BlackMesa123:
You can't "get" device/vendor trees because that's not how it works. Device trees are hand-made by the community and are coded nearly from zero. You have to create one yourself if you wish to build AOSP ROMs for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] Earth-Chan:
And when will the Android 13 TWRP tree be released?

I asked about TWRP support for this phone on the TWRP forum and they told me to port it myself but since there is no tree based on Android 13 it cannot be done. 🫤

I imagine that then all phones that were released with Android 13+ have this problem

Although I only want a RW rom but TWRP makes things easier
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] YoussefAfia:
I kinda just stole the TWRP one and adapted it to Lineage OS https://github.com/yafia/device_samsung_a54x and the vendor tree i just stole from the main OS dump which sounds super wrong now that i think of it. https://github.com/yafia/vendor_samsung_a54x . This is my first time trying to build a custom rom so bare with me... I just am super annoyed by OneUI.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] YoussefAfia:
If there are any tutorials with regards to building these Device/Vendor trees can you please provide me with them?

You can try it.

Honestly, no one is going to help you here. You will have to do most of the work, doing tests, tests and more tests. You can guide yourself in the work that has already been done on another mobile with the same chip, or with a "similar" one. You don't need to build twrp and you can't, don't waste time on it. First try to create a recovery of the ROM you have chosen (PE, Lineage). The source code of the ROM you download also matters. Although OneUI 6 based on Android 14 has already been released, most roms based on 14 are WIP. You should start using OneUI 5 firmware and 13 source code, for now. You can see Alaska Linux User YouTube channel.

1- dump your phone stock rom to get trees and files you need

2- adjust them to be able to build (how? I am still learning)

- how to make dump?

I have been trying to run Android 9 x86 on my 9 year old lenovo flex 2 11in. every time I try to type in my pin, it crashes immediately and makes it so I have to do it again. This is a fresh install of android without anything on it. I physically cant sign in to it to update it. I cant find the supported cpu list to check if my cpu is supported. If someone could tell me if it is supported that would be great.

Thanks!

My cpu is: Intel pentium n3540
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krynyx:
Androidx86 have some bugs related with keyboard. Using the mouse/touchpad you can try to disable the physical keyboard and enable the virtual keyboard to check if it is an issue caused by the keyboard driver incompatibility. You can test with a USB keyboard too.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1750601320392798220

Someone bypassed it. But we don't know how
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I guess a guide will come out shortly.

It's starting to take shape in Mishaal Rahman's group chat on Telegram. Apparently requires Shizuku and a companion app.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Mrowkarz123:
I hope so
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It's just an app update.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] srt54558:
It's an App update. You either wait for Google play to do it, or get the APK of Apkmirror
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] srt54558:
Can you keep us (or at least me) up to date? I don't have telegram.

Please inform me on solutions
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Here's the companion app @LLStarks referred to...

Per MIshaal:

1) Download and set up Shizuku from Google Play.

2) Open the Carrier Vanity Name app, and in the "ISO Country Code" field (the second field), type "us". (You can ignore the first field.)

3) Click "set".

4) Stop the Thermometer app and clear its data, then open it. The body temperature feature should be available.

5) You can now re-open the CVN app and hit "Reset" to reset the ISO country code.

OR

From Google News Telegram Channel:

• First you need to setup Shizuku (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=moe.shizuku.privileged.api&hl=ru&gl=US) (hopefully you know how).

• Next, you need to install the Carrier Vanity Name APK attached to the post.

• Once you open the APK and allow Shizuku you will see two input fields. You need the bottom field labeled 'ISO country code'. *

• In this field enter 'us' and click Set.

• Stop the Thermometer app and clear its data. The body temperature function should then be available.

• You can reset the SIM card operator region by pressing the Reset button. The body temperature function will remain active until you reset the Thermometer app data.

*The first field in the Carrier Vanity Name application allows you to change the carrier name on the lock screen

❗️If package manager crashes, try SAI or APK mirror installer

Great! I installed it with SAI (rooted method) and it worked flawlessly! Can I make the input where I set it to "us" empty again or should it stay? Everything works! Even Fitbit!

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
Now, to find out how useful it actually is at reading body temperature. Someone please test, use the phone and a real thermometer and compare.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Mrowkarz123:
People are reporting that it's accurate.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Snap_count:
Dam.. the Carrier apk won't install on my 8 Pro🤔😢

Nevermind - tried both solid explorer and chrome to initiate the apk install.. both didn't work. Judy tried the Google Files app and that managed to get it installed 😊
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Google says the Pixel 8 Pro’s temperature sensor is more accurate than forehead thermometers

Turns out, the Pixel 8 Pro’s built-in thermometer is actually very good

www.androidpolice.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] western_rider's_dad:
For me, it runs about 0.75 degrees (F) lower than other forehead thermometers I've used. As long as it is consistent I would consider using it as a body thermometer. Also, as an FYI, it does require a "swipe" across the forehead to temple in order to complete the reading.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CHH2:
My oral thermometer came up 96.5F while the phone came up 96.9F. Which is exactly what the phone read yesterday. I usually run cool. I think the real test will come when someone is running an actual fever.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
Google says 0.3 C tolerance. Practically useless.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] yanggame:
Pixel Thermometer BT Enabler

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Utini:
Is there a method with root but without Shizuku? Also, any side effects since we tell our phone that the carrier is from a different country?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Mrowkarz123:
You just reset it after. First clear data of the termometer app, then change the country to us, open the thermometer app and then you can just reset the country and as long as you don't clear the cache on the thermometer app it will work.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ypsten:
It is not 100% guaranteed that this is sufficient, but having done the manipulation, I just noticed the creation of a file in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.pixel.health/shared_prefs. The file is named thermometer.xml and just contains:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<boolean name="is_bts_activated" value="true" />
</map>

With root access, it might be worth creating such a file and seeing if that's enough to unlock the functionality.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Jesusgcas:
all methods to activate this require root right?

edit: Never mind I just activated it. It’s my fist time using Shizuku.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fma388:
I tested this and I can confirm that it works !

Thanks !!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] muesli79:
Thank you for the great tutorial, it worked perfectly for me.

Just one question: Is there a way I can check, if the reset of the country code worked? I am asking as my German weather app suddenly switched from °C to °F...

Thanks and best regards, Müsli
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JazonX:
Tried it, Didn't work for me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ypsten:
Did you already launch the application before ? Because you should already have a com.google.android.apps.pixel.health_preferences.xml file in the shared_prefs folder.

Your screenshot gives the impression that the thermometer.xml file you created is alone in the shared_prefs folder.

I attach below the xml that works for me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JazonX:
Thanks heaps!

Your file worked!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cemeli:
If you haven't root is this file possible to put ?

If yes in what folder

Thanks
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ypsten:
Root is needed in order to access /data/data/com.google.android.apps.pixel.health/shared_prefs.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] muesli79:
In the meantime I am quite sure that "reset" doesn't work. To verify I also changed the carrier name and this isn't resetted as well. What consequences will a wron country code have?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Jesusgcas:
I agree with you. I think reset only clears the field. But I can't answer your question.

I just wrote "es" which should be the code for Spain and clicked set. But to be honest I don't find any difference.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 22Ti:
This worked for me, although I had issues with it initially. You have to make sure the file permissions are correct. I changed the owner to the same as the other file.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ultimatepichu:
For me it stuck with "Temperature sensor is too warm" and some countdown that keeps looping.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] maxo_91:
Can someone test if this method also makes the Free VPN available in an unsupported countries? It's something I'd really use and I'm still waiting my P8 to arrive.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I don't live in an unsupported country so I can't test.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ultimatepichu:
I don't think so, it depends on the country that you're in. For example, it was working in Germany, but when I was in Hong Kong it doesn't work anymore.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] motopig:
Thank you! Just the post I was looking for. Shizuku+CVN worked for me. I doubt Google would submit this feature for Health Canada approval.

[Poco M4 5G / Redmi Note 11 E / 10 Prime+ 5G] joveaaron:
Hello. I have a Redmi Note 11R (sadly with only China ROM in mifirm.net) and I was wondering if I could flash a 11E rom on a 11R and not brick it. I have found this device with global rom in mifirm.net that lists 11E and 11R on the same device almost like if it was compatible. I have a feeling that it has a chance to work because the POCO M4 5G is identical on the exterior to the 11R.

Has anyone achieved this? The codename is very similar, the only china ROM device has codename lightcm but the one that has a lot of regions has codename light. CPUs seem to be the same between 11E and 11R. Only difference I could spot are camera Megapixels.

I tried this version of GCam with your config files and I was surprised. Very good quality overall, with maybe one exception, the ultrawide, where I found a bit more quality in stock cam, but I must do more tests to be sure. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK!!! I was sceptical about GCam, I must say it, but after some tests, it's obvious to me: it yields more natural results, better representation of color, and a bit more detail in many situatios. Obviously GCam is not for every situations and cases; it's slower than stock, and can't (maybe I don't know how?) take photos in high resolution (50, 200 Mpix) from the main and 5X cameras, but still...

Excelente work, thank you again, and excuse my poor English.
