Hello, I was given an HDMI dongle, by the French operator Orange, model TV2. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it, without having an Orange account. Possibly change the firmware, but how can I figure out what the processor is. Thank you.

J'ai une clé HDMI Orange TV2 et cherche á en trouver une utilisation, sans compte chez Orange. Est-ce possible de changer le firmware? Merci .
[Android TV General] Salvadorfreeman:
After a bit of googling, I found that this dongle uses Linux, HTML 5 blink browser, ARM Cortex A53, quad core SOC, 2 GB DDR4 and 8 GB eMMC.

But that doesn't get me any nearer finding a use for it as is,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skip bg:
Hello to all,

i would like to enlarge status bar icons, clock and everything in there.

I have rooted samsung xcover 5 [magisk] with android 13 (g525fxxs8cwg2, kernel 4.19.111.26291534) and i

found that values must be changed in system apk-s, System Ui and Framework-res.

I extracted from my xcover 5 System UI.apk and framework-res.apk with total commander.

I'm not a developer but i know how to make some changes in apk-s. i have APK Editor Studio 1.7.1. and APK

easy tool (i have windows 7).

When i open Framework-res in APK Editor Studio i can find this values

res/values/dimens/<dimen name="status_bar_system_icon_size">15.0dip</dimen>

res/values/dimens/<dimen name="status_bar_system_icon_intrinsic_size">17.0dip</dimen>

res/values/public/<public type="dimen" name="status_bar_system_icon_intrinsic_size" id="0x010504d2" />

res/values/public/<public type="dimen" name="status_bar_system_icon_size" id="0x010504d3" />

res/values/dimens/<dimen name="status_bar_icon_size">22.0dip</dimen>

res/values/public/<public type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_size" id="0x010504d0" />

and when i open System UI

res/values/dimens/<dimen name="status_bar_system_icon_padding_end">1.0dip</dimen>

res/values/dimens/<dimen name="status_bar_system_icon_spacing">0.0dip</dimen>

res/values/public/<public type="dimen" name="status_bar_system_icon_padding_end" id="0x7f070e6a" />

res/values/public/<public type="dimen" name="status_bar_system_icon_spacing" id="0x7f070e6b" />

res/values/dimens/<dimen name="status_bar_icon_drawing_size">15.0dip</dimen>

and this is not all, there are a lot other lines with status_bar_icon....

And changes have to be made also in res/drawable... i dont know where else.

Since i'm not a developer i'm not sure what and where exactly to modify.

So big question is -- What values do i need to change in System UI, Framework-res and somewhere else to get

bigger icons and everything in status bar?

And will this changes have impact to clock size, wi-fi icon size, battery icon size....?

Second big question is -- when i finish changes in those system apk-s, how do i put those two apps back in the

phone? Should i just "copy and replace with existing file" in total commander or in some other apk, or with

some other way? I attached these 2 files in case someone needs them to check.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skip bg:
Thanx for answer and recommendation. I tried to use 3 custom launcher (grade 4+)Nova, Smart, AIO, and none of them have this option for status bar. Anyway, i am comfortable with technical aspects or risk-taking because this xcover 5 is not my primary phone. I don't use it on daily basis. Nothing important have inside. If i screw up something, it will not be a problem to flash it again, and again, and again.... So i don't give up of modifying system files.

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldfishDev:
Hi all,

I'm trying to restore a Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS to the latest stock firmware, either the most recent Wear OS 2 or Wear OS 3, but I'm running into some issues.

After trying (and failing) to install Kali Nethunter on my Ticwatch Pro 3, I attempted to reflash stock firmware. I forgot to make a backup, and the version I found and flashed from lunawolf.es seemed to be older than what I had previously. So I tried the update for Wear OS 3, and it downloads fine, but fails about 1/4 through the installation process with a red circle. Then I tried updating my apps but many would still show as up to date despite being older versions.

Ultimately, I was able to restore the newer version of some apps through sideloading but I'm still missing some things (like the white and red flashlight app, the apkmirror version I found required SDK 30)

Does anyone have an image I could flash for Wear OS 3, or any ideas for solving the update issue? In fastboot it says secure boot disabled, could that have anything to do with it?

Thanks!
[FYT Android Head Units] zoebrian65:
Hey everyone,

I recently installed an FYT Android head unit in my car, and while most of its features work great, I've been encountering persistent issues with Bluetooth connectivity. I've paired my smartphone with the head unit, but it frequently disconnects or fails to establish a stable connection.

Here are the problems I'm facing:

Intermittent Disconnects: The Bluetooth connection drops randomly while playing music or during phone calls, making it frustrating to use hands-free functions reliably.

Difficulty Reconnecting: Often, even after disconnecting, the head unit struggles to reconnect to my phone automatically. I have to manually intervene, which defeats the purpose of having seamless connectivity.

Inconsistent Audio Quality: When the connection is established, the audio quality fluctuates, sometimes sounding distorted or unclear.

Here's what I've tried so far to troubleshoot:

Rebooted both the head unit and my smartphone multiple times.

Cleared Bluetooth cache and data on the head unit.

Tried repairing the devices and re-establishing the Bluetooth connection.

Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue. I'm not sure if this is a software bug, a compatibility problem, or a hardware issue. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S20 running Android 11 (One UI 3.1) and suspect there might be a compatibility issue between the head unit and my device.

Has anyone else experienced similar Bluetooth problems with an FYT Android head unit or found a fix for similar issues? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia 1 V] Andrew Lin:
Hi thanks for your work again! I am wondering if this will become official one day. Also, if it does become official, do we need to reflash the ROM?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] clfbbn:
It might become official at some point.

And if it becomes official, a re-flash is needed.

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] JackieFoxDude:
Hey guys,

I'm reaching out for help with my T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G, which is currently in a soft-bricked state. The device is stuck in an "orange state" and can't get past the loading screen. Here's a brief overview of how I got to this point and what I've tried so far:

Initial Issue: The phone was initially locked with FRP (Factory Reset Protection). I successfully unlocked the bootloader, but this led to the current soft-bricked state.

Current Status: The phone is now stuck in an orange state and can't boot normally. It's permanently on the loading screen.

Failed Attempts: I've looked at several tutorials, many of which suggest installing Magisk. However, I can't install or access anything on the phone as it's not booting properly.

Stock OS Download: I managed to download the stock OS zip file for this model from a tutorial. Unfortunately, upon unzipping, I realized there's no scatter file included for the SP Flash Tool, which I've learned is necessary for flashing. The unzipped folder contains various .img files, but I'm unsure how to use them in this context.

Given this situation, how would I proceed with flashing the stock OS on my phone. Specifically, I would appreciate advice on:

How to use the .img files to flash the stock OS.

Any alternative methods or tools suitable for this device and its current state.

Detailed steps or links to reliable tutorials that could guide me through this process.

Any help from the community would be immensely appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] JackieFoxDude:
I figured it out, and got the phone working, here the run down:

Program to flash: {Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

ROM + Scatterfile: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pFzvpXtsASgToeK3PgksVJczz__BQeGh/view

Once you downloaded everything, install TFTUnlock and extract the ROM zip file somewhere.

1. Open TFTUnlock(click login)

2. On the top select MediaTeK

3. Click flash on the top with the lightning bolt

4. There's gonna be three text bars with the yellow folder with the plus sign.

The first bar should already say "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" but if it doesn't, just click the folder and navigate to "C:\TUnlock\TFTUnlock\Data\MTK" and you'll find it there.

5. Remember that ROM file you extracted? Should be called "MT6833_Wingtech_REVVL_V+_5G_OSv11_WTRVL5G_0.12.34_RP1A.200720.011_Sprout_T-Mobile". Yea, click on the yellow folder for the scatter file and navigate to where ever you decided to extract the folder, it should be called "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt">

6. Before you click flash on the bottom if you look on the right side, you'll get instructions on how to boot your phone into BROM mode. Turn off the phone completely(if it's restarting or in a reboot loop you'll just have to time it right or let it die and then charge the phone again), click flash, hold both the volume buttons, and plug in the cable right after(you might have to do this a lot because I don't know the exact timing but if you keep trying you'll eventually get it), if the phone starts booting keep holding it and the program should do it's thing and once it's done your phone should be working. If it fails to connect, you just have to try again.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] djismgaming:
Hi, is this normal to appear when not entering the BROM properly?

"STATUS_SEC_AUTH_FILE_NEEDED(-1073545198)"

I try with holding the 2 volume buttons, Pressing Flash and then connecting the cable when it says "Waiting For Device Connection...."
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] ExidusElectric:
So that means that you have to bypass auth on your device. There are a bunch of tools out there for it. The one I was most recently successful with (earlier tonight) is called ST-MTK Universal. It's easy to find. Anyway, once you've done that, come back and try flashing. But don't unplug your phone between them. It needs to stay plugged in and in BROM mode.

Edit: actually it looks like this TFTUnlock program will bypass auth too. It's under the Security Tab on top, next to Flash. You'll see a bunch of options on the bottom of the window. The one you want is Auth Bypass... I haven't tried it with this app so I can't vouch for it. But I imagine it's fine.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] djismgaming:
OMG! It is flashing! The most alive I've seen this phone in almost a year (or more!)! I'll report back in some minutes!
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] djismgaming:
I saw the screen come alive! It's charging now! Let's see if it becomes operational after some charge.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] djismgaming:
A message appeared on-screen:

"dm-verity corruption

your device is corrupt.

it can't be trusted and my not work properly.

press enter button to continue.

Or, device will power off in 5s."

I just pressed the power button. The battery with a charging icon has stayed in the screen so far.

EDIT: After some time I rebooted the phone and the message appeared again. I press the button and it stays on the "T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G Powered by Android" screen indefinitely yet.

EDIT2: I'm messing with it a bit more. Let's see. :D

EDIT3: The most I get it is to a "red state" so I flashed with your instructions again and I'm at the the "T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G Powered by Android" screen, stuck there yet.

Just ran across the below thread. In a world where many times it's just the "bare minimum" towards your fellow human and with all the struggles going on in our own lives it's easy to just overlook those around you...In the essence of Keith Lee, Mr. Beast, and all the feel-good stories out there, it really is something nice to see when it's the opposite and it's about reaching out when you aren't necessarily required to and giving when you have/are-capable; simply because you can relate.

my heart really goes out to the husband and the situation -- which, while not a brand new story/situation (as I'm sure most of us in tech have come across similar pleas to us within our own personal lives in one way or another), still doesn't & shouldn't lessen the impact of such a tragedy and sad circumstance because I'm sure we all have lost someone.

It is a really nice, positive sentiment for our community to come together and try to help.

...And that's what I hope for and love about XDA Forums. I know it's main purpose is to discuss and develop mobile electronics related matters, but I feel XDA has such potential to be more than that! I've met some truly good and decent people here. And I would hope for just as much heart & compassion and more than just technical development and collaboration, but to connect & assist & support as a community because we all can simply relate.

I know not many members stroll around and frequent this section of the site so this might not get a lot of views, but if you're reading this -- drop by and see if you can help and/or show some support. I personally don't think the goal can be achieved and it will be a completely happy ending, but I'm sure it'll mean even a small bit to give & show support...

We are very excited to announce the Paranoid Android Uvite, based on Android 14.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform.
