[About XDA developers] N1c0_ds:
Just my humble opinion, but I think they fit well together. The difference is small between the two and it would just require me to check two boards to get the same info.

I say let's hold a vote.
[About XDA developers] rhov23:
I'v been thinking the same for a long time now.
[About XDA developers] joel2009:
Thats not contradictory at all. The Development and hacking section is for contributers, if you are contributing an app you are developing or in need of help dev, then that is what the section is for. Things start getting more complicated when you are trying to post your own work and there are several different sections you have to swarm though to find the appropriate one. I'm a fan of keep things simple.

If you are trying to follow a specific thread, then you can bookmark it or subscribe to it.

The list that is bold when you log on only shows the threads you have not read since the last time you viewed the page. If you are interested in reading everything than you will read on through them.

Here is an example, looking at you list of stuff:

- ROM Development Tools

- Homescreen Plugins (Manilla, TouchWizz, Asus Glide, BatteryMetter, etc)

- Ported Applications

- xda-dev Applications

- xda-dev Games

- Applications Hacking (?)

- Development Resources & Tips & Tricks

What if i ported a today plugin, then where would i put it?

This is just a small example but it illustrates my point that things can get messy upon where things go. Keeping one section keeps it simple and easy.
[About XDA developers] TheChampJT:
I understand both sides, but it seems that this point will be argued for a while longer, as it has been for the last few months.

I think the biggest problem is there are always themes coming out since newer apps are coming out with the ability to skin them. Personally, I would have to vote with the splitting of the two main sections since it is starting to grow a lot. On the other hand, they do fit together since a theme could be categorized as a "hack". But, the more and more the section grows, the harder it will be to find things. Considering all of the hard work and effort put into to these custom themes, a new section set for those who create the themes would be nice.

EDIT: lol DAMN! I thought the discussion was about themes and apps, my point still stands though.
[About XDA developers] DSF:
joel2009 the list is just a suggestion - it may be modified.. What I wanted to underline is that the "Development and Hacking" forum is growing day by day, making harder to find interesting threads.

The faster you organize the information the better. If not, later the forum will grow so much that will be very hard to watch + the job to move the thousands of topics..

TheChampJT is right..
[About XDA developers] scotchua:
I think the real issue is that most users don't realize the amount of time it takes just to keep the forum as organized as it is. Splitting the hacking & development forum would require us to watch 7 threads instead of one, which honestly is a pretty full job in and of itself at this point.

Joel does a good job of drawing attention to how confusing it will be for users wanting to post new information. I know it's really frustrating to certain users to have to read through a couple pages of threads to find the one they're looking for, but it really is the simplest solution.

I think one issues that has been side stepped is that there really aren't a lot of developers asking us to split this stuff up. It's easy enough, and simple enough for them to use, especially after all the great work done by the Q & A team to clean it up. I find it pretty easy to find what i'm looking for in the thread now.

I think the thing that would help more than anything to simplify things for users would be for all threads to adopt the proper naming of their threads. Then it would be easy to see what threads are themes, what are apps, what are games. Unfortunately, the application of proper naming is very inconsistent.

Ultimately I feel that splitting the forums would cause more confusion, more frustration, and more work, so at this point I think it best to leave things as they are until we come up with a better solution.
[About XDA developers] stylez:
Going to keep my post very short, the way XDA is split up is to help users to which commonly end up posting in the wrong sections as it is, the more sections we have the more confusion of posters, then we have the mods who have a hard enough time as it is trying to sift out the "wrong posters" so what was my point again? Lets keep things simple so simple peeps don't post in the wrong sections :p and the mods don't get over worked for there voluntary position :)
[General Questions and Answers] Quotable0438:
Got a tablet off Amazon that I thought would be a nice little clone device that I could root and maybe run a generic Android build. The end goal is to have a device for FullyKiosk that runs my HomeAssistant, so the device really doesn't need to be anything special, just have a modern Android version on it.

The link to what I got is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGLDHVMV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1, which comes up as a THTH-K12C. Ubuntu sees it as a Rockchip K12, so sure it's some generic rebranded device.

When I plug it in, I get a USB device showing up, but adb doesn't list any devices.

Anyone come across one of these devices and have any thoughts on how to root it? Or do I just count this as a bad choice and look at paying more for a Fire tablet or something else?
[General Questions and Answers] Revontheus:
I would recommend you get a device that has more support. The Fire Tablet has its own forum with LineageOS, so it's a better choice for your needs.
[General Questions and Answers] Quotable0438:
Guess I will have to take the loss on the one I got then, can't return to Amazon an opened box...
[General Questions and Answers] Quotable0438:
Any other low cost tablets that folks could suggest? Seems to me that it's horrible that you can only purchase the big name expensive gear in order to be able to customize, there's gotta be options out there for around the $60 price point.
[General Questions and Answers] Quotable0438:
The policy on the return for this was pretty clear that if the box was opened and the device was used, then return was not possible. Probably my first clue on something goofy.

The tablet isn't the worst, unless it decides not to boot again and require a factory reset to get out of recovery mode, which then I definitely will be looking to return it.

Any other suggestions on low cost tablets that can be rooted without much issue? The main thing is I want to use Fully Kiosk Browser and be able to remotely reboot the thing, or use a remote control software if needbe. This tablet is planned to be located at a remote location that isn't always got someone there, kinda like a vacation home situation that I want to make sure the tablet is running and good on a regular basis without having to drive 2 hours.

Open to suggestions if there's a way to accomplish that without rooting.

[Redmi Note 12 4G] Lemonade1278:
Hi, I recently bought this phone the other day and while I was checking some things, I noticed that the app from DevInfo says I have Snapdragon 680. Other apps also shows that my phone has 680.

But according to GSMArena or the internet, it's supposed to have Snapdragon 685. In my Device specs, it shows 685 but idk what to believe anymore.

So did the apps I used misread my hardware? Or do I really have snapdragon 680?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Darth Bidder:
It's because SD 685 is basically the same as SD 680 but just overclocked by default.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
They are both the sams chipset (sm6225) so apps show it as 680 because its more popular

[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
So I want to root this tablet, which is a Lenovo Tab P11 (2023) TB350XU.

The problem is that when I reboot to bootloader, nothing can connect, and there is no way to reset it. I have tried everything from holding the power and volume down for up to 60 seconds, to just holding the power, to holding power and volume up, to holding volume up and down, to holding all 3, but nothing works. THe only solution to get out of it is wait overnight for the batery to die.

I have tried both ways to enter fastboot. I connected my computer and typed the adb fastboot command, and also I have tried the method of turning off and holding the power and volume up buttons until the receovery shows and then entering fastboot that way.

Both result in the same problem.

This is a stock device with nothing installed and nothing done to it as I just purchased the device from the store brand new. As far as I am concerned I can't begin to use the device until it is rooted, but therein lies the problem.

A search comes up with many with the same result, but the typical answers like hold until a black screen etc do not work.k Nothing happens and the device does not respond.

Also, in fastboot mode, the device cannot be recognized by the computer.

How to solve this to get my device rooted?

UPDATE: The solution for me is it is a bug and updating to the latest security update solved it for me. YMMV.

Current patch (as of 30 Nov 2023):

Android: 12

Security Update: 5 June 2023

System Update: TB350XU_S020273_230717_ROW
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
Just tried again without the keyboard attached in case that was the issue - it isn't, since now it's stuck in fastboot mode again for another day or two until the battery dies.
[Lenovo P11] Kusay_1:
edit the title with (fixed) so we know
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
It's not fixed, what made you think that? I'm still waiting for it to die so I can use it.
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
Does anyone know how to solve this or should I return it to the store?
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
The only thing I can thing to do is either reset the device (hard software reset to clear all data) and try again, or upgrade the software and try again.
[Lenovo P11] xbt-:
Good news and bad news. The good news is I risked going to fastboot after updating, on a full battery (if it was broken my device would be down for two days again until the battery died).

The good news is that after updating the software (android security update), the bug blocking you from being able to exit fastboot is fixed. I could exit after holding power and vol down for about 10 seconds.

The bad news is that I still can't get either computer (one is windows 7 and the other is win 11) to recognize the device in fastboot mode so that I can unlock the bootloader. Will keep looking.

It was solved by updating the software with the latest security update.

I'm always hesitant to do that because that's how Huawei bricked all their devices to permanently lock the bootloader (which is why I'll never buy another Huawei device again).

I only ran the system update because if this couldn't be fixed it would go back to the store. Fortunately, it was a software issue and not a hardware issue.

I did not need to factory reset and don't know if that would have worked.

No solution, same problem

Hello Sakisgr,

Sorry I don't have a solution for your problem.

I have the same problem and no solution yet.

My first problem with my MIO P550 started because some programs would not run caused by to little memory.

That was the reason I executed the "LowLevelFormat" command.

After that I also executed the "Mark Bad Block (50MB)" command

After that i did "Image Upgrade Tools" "Image by SD/MCC"

and flashed a downloaded firmware Win 6.1.

After that I have a running machine but 50MB memory missing!

Can I get my 50MB back ??? how ????

or do I have to buy a new motherboard with memory and win 5.0 ???

I want to flash to Win5.0 NL ( my origional version)

does anyone has a .bin to download ?

Thanks in advance

[Google Pixel 7] Strat-Mangler:
Samsung allows the user to do so but not the vanilla Google ROM. Is there a ROM or tool that will allow me to put the Back button on the right as opposed to the left?

I'm aware there are apps but these don't work the way I prefer and a lot of apps don't work with their full unobstructed layout so it becomes a game of "hide the new navigation bar, then unhide it whenever needed" which becomes equally tedious.
[Google Pixel 7] TacoDeMuerte:
Yes, some of the ROMs available, such as EvolutionX, allow swapping the navigation buttons. There might also be a Magisk module, but I can't remember.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
The there are multiple to do this, but the most well-known Magisk module is Pixel Xpert (Formerly AOSP Mods)
[Google Pixel 7] Strat-Mangler:
Wow! If I can just add that to my Pixel 7 to accomplish the Navigation Bar button swap without needing to install a complete ROM replacement (since that's really my only complaint so far), that'd be awesome. I'll definitely look into this and hopefully, it won't be too convoluted of an installation process.

Thanks a ton! :)
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
Yup! A lot of users/members were introduced to that module specifically for that reason...! It's very straightforward & simple -- you can even set each button as one or all of the 3 options (i.e. have all be a back button, or all be a home button, or whatever order you wish!)!

On top of that, there is so much other "mods" (hence it's original name of AOSP Mods) that make the AndroidOS experience so much cooler!

Hi,

I had purchased an S22 ultra from UAE and its US version phone.

I started the phone in Pakistan and after using it for a day it suddenly stopped working and blacked out. It was charged around 50% at that time.

It is not booting up. I have tried pressing all possible iterations for booting up but its not working. I have tried charging as well.

Any idea what should i do? The warranty claim process is very cumbersome as i would have to send the device to another country for warranty claim so i want to avoid it

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam_420:
I'm reaching out to seek your expertise on a matter that many of us Android users may have encountered - the limitation on Wi-Fi scans in Android phones. As per the information provided by Google on their developer website [link: https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/wifi/wifi-scan#wifi-scan-throttling], Android devices are currently restricted to performing Wi-Fi scans only four times in a two-minute window.

This limitation can be a hurdle for applications or tasks that require more frequent Wi-Fi scans. I'm curious if any of you have encountered this limitation and, more importantly, if you've found a workaround or a solution to increase the number of Wi-Fi scans beyond the set threshold.

iFonz with one of the high res 52 pixel icon packs is very pretty / functional. Raise the icon size to 52. Replace all of the icons with pretty stuff. Remap all of the shortcuts to whatever programs you want. Add pages if need be. I have a weak 208mhz TI OMAP850 chip and it takes about 45 seconds to load but runs well after that. I load it up when someone wants to play with my phone but is only impressed by pretty icons or too stupid to use windows mobile (I even set mine up with desktop icons with cLaunch!!).

S2U2 covers the unlock screen.

That should be about all you need to be generally passable. Make sure you get all of the latest versions of each of those programs though. The latest ones work the best and run the fastest.
