Hi, Luphaestus!

Since the description says "Fake encryption", is it correct to assume that Android's encryption for protection of Flash memory (in case the phone is stolen or something) is not implemented, so anybody can access the files by reading the flash chip if the phone was lost for example?

Is there any way we can convince you to port this for the N986U?

I have the snapdragon variant and would love this ROM so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Luphaestus:
Official support for base note 20 version, will be available in the next release (You can message me on telegram for a test version).

For Snapdragon, If a kernel with Erofs support is released, ill consider porting it, but currently, I'm not interested in making my own kernel.

Hi all, after installing KernelSU from vulcan rom updates, i can't find the KernelSU application in my phone.

How can i do it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Luphaestus:
You have to install it from github
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fanfan7110:
Already done, but this is the result (in french):

and the firmware info from the update utility :

Any ideas ?

Personally I don't understand what the problem is so if anyone has a solution I'm interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Luphaestus:
You didn't install a KernelSU kernel. Make sure you download the ones that say KSU
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fanfan7110:
Thank you all for your information.

Then a kernel appeared as if by magic in the list of kernels in the ROM updates. This is the SU Extreme XT kernel.

Before on this location it was marked "null" and this morning, miraculously it appeared instead.

After installing it, the app immediately recognized the kernel and worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] deskjet390:
Is this port using the Android 13 kernel?

Awesome rom. AWESOME! Thank you for your work!

With some modifications removing even MORE bloatware (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1okg7YWinImbYwC-N8zDiH04gRNUtt4jMbWlzbMtj36M/edit#gid=0) my battery life extended like 3 times (compared to rooted stock Android 10)!

One thing I'd love to see added to it: signature spoofing patch (https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing). I tried simple solutions (like fake gapps lsposed module) - doesn't work:

Before messing around deeper I thought I'd ask about the possibility of adding it natively (meaning: by you ^^) ;]

Again - thank you for you awesome ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] the_dodita:
Thank you very much, i will try tomorrow your vbmeta .

LATER edit: It is not working and I am going crazy... I think I tried more than 4-5 vbmeta files all night and the some result, FAIL...

Somewhere on youtube I saw that somebody like me was successful flashing a file "VBMETA-20240519T131129Z-001" but personally I don't find it anywhere...

I attach some pictures here, maybe I am making something wrong..

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] the_dodita:
I finally didt it!! I have twrp installed after all! I manage to patch my original AP tar file with magisk and then I extracted vbmeta.img already patched and put it in an archive vbmeta. tar, flashed it with Odin and... voila, all good for the moment!

The file is taken from vmeta.img.lz4, Note 20 ultra 5G - SM-N986B with firmware N986BXXSBHXE9 Romania.

Nex flashing the Vulcan rom...

Thank you very much!

[Android Head-Units] Aubergine911:
I have plenty of experience with adding apps, mods, skins, etc to Windows and MacOS, and have jailbroken iOS many times and used jailbroken apps. I have never owned Android before. Is there a beginner’s guide?

I got this head unit and I am completely lost. It works great for CarPlay but I want to do more with it. Is there a way to access more advanced settings than the developer settings? I want to know how to designate different apps for system settings, i.e. this is the default navigation app (I want to make CarLink 2.0 the nav app), this is the default photos/videos/browser. There is nothing in the developer settings related to default apps, just which files open in which apps. Can I connect a bluetooth keyboard to make it easier to use?

Installing different skins is not intuitive at all for me. I found them in an “app store” (not the Google Play store, which is also available and I used to download waze) but now I can’t get back to the default launcher. The skins don’t allow for any real customization at all, at least not that I can tell.

Do I need to connect it up to a PC to get at these advanced settings? I’m sorry for all the questions, I am a total neophyte to Android.

Finally, if I get a sim from my cell phone carrier to enable wireless, will it just work? It would be nice if it had an always-on internet connection so I could use waze and the weather app.

Find a thread in this sub related to your head unit, based on info shown on the About page.

Most of the stuff you won't be able to do, since the developers didn't make them customizable. For 4G internet you need a unit that supports the feature.
[Android Head-Units] Aubergine911:
Thank you. This unit does not seem to have much written about it anywhere.

I did figure out how to download nova launcher and then used boot apps to auto start CarPlay (car link 2.0)

Hey everyone, after years of using many custom ROMs, it’s time to say hello. The first time I got hooked on custom ROMs was with the good old HTC G1; it was a great time.

After that, there were many other phones HTC, Samsung, and more.

I hope I can learn many things from you.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pannem:
Hey, I bought this tablet a few weeks ago and tried everything to get a GSI working. However, every time I install one, it gets stuck in a bootloop. Unlocking the bootloader was no problem, and installing the GSI worked, but it gets stuck in a bootloop at the LineageOS animation. Maybe someone can help me. I downloaded the firmware from Alldocube, but when I extract it, I get a firmware image (img) that I cannot open to access the vbmeta.img.

Feel free to seek further assistance if needed
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] JuanPabloLH:
I tried to install twrp and since then I can not load the system, I have already reinstalled several times official roms in fastboot mode, and with SP Flash, I tried to change the vbmeta, boot, recovery, in A/B, I unchecked the preloader in my attempt with SP FLASH, I did many wipe data, and delete and reinstall super.img and userdata.img... All this based on infinite searches on the network, the truth is I can hardly see well of courage, I have not stopped trying.

I have access to fastboot, bootloader unlocked, access to recovery (although I suspect it is totally useless for some reason) I have all the necessary drivers for mediatek and adb.

the phone stays on the initial Redmi screen, sometimes it starts to reboot over and over again, sometimes it just stays there, but I have not been able to restart the system.

I have run into errors ("this partition doesn't exist" for example) when trying to delete or replace files like super.img or userdata.img (some others I don't remember) Although this was "solved" in one of the many times I reinstalled the ROM, which makes me suspect that maybe my problem is with the partitions, but I have no idea how to verify/fix it if that is the case.

I clarify that currently my only goal is to install an official rom and the phone back to be functional, I'm not interested or custom roms, or twrp, or anything adjacent to the expected factory behavior.

thank you very much for your help.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] hazoukabe:
so i had this issue and i tried to reflash the rom but that didnt work and so i installed another one and also make sure to use Mi flash tool and down make sure you click on Clean All so bootloader wont be locked
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] JuanPabloLH:
what should i clean in spflash?
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] JuanPabloLH:
I have managed to solve it, I had to manually flash each img through fastboot, I took the order from the bat that normally do the installation, opening it with notepad++ shows a series of fastboot commands in order, just flash each file exactly as the bat would do, obviously this is not necessary as usual, but for some reason, although the installation was done correctly with the bat, or with spflash, it was not really done.

So I have only managed to solve my problem by doing it manually, the phone works perfect in all aspects, network, camera, performance.

Most Samsung phones include 'Samsung Capture,' which is their own screenshot app. While the A10 has the stock screenshot tool, which usually comes with AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Today, we will be replacing the AOSP screenshot tool with Samsung Capture.

View attachment 6073945

Personally, I have not encountered any issues with installing APKs on my device. This is the stock Samsung Capture APK without any modifications at all. I have tried newer versions of Samsung Capture, but they either don't install or crash when taking a screenshot.

View attachment 6073806​

Download the APK provided in this post.

Transfer the file to your phone or open the APK with 'My Files.'

Install the APK.

Test the screenshot function by pressing the power and volume down buttons and accepting the storage prompt for Samsung Capture.

I have an LG G8X I'm trying to get working with an external USB IR touch frame and it's been driving me bonkers for weeks... I feel like I'm so close to figuring it out, yet so far at the same time.

If I turn on "Show touches" and "Show touch data" in developer options and proceed to use the IR touch frame, it shows all touch events as expected and multitouch works fine. The problem is that my taps and swipes don't actually do anything -- I can't click, I can't scroll, nothing works EXCEPT if a do a swipe gesture from the edge of the IR frame. This means that I can perform a "back" or "home/recent apps" gesture just fine...

I've tested the IR touch frame with my S23 Ultra and it works perfectly fine. I've tested a different external touchscreen monitor on the G8X which also worked as expected.

I've run "adb shell getevent -l" and the events seem to be registering fine:

add device 8: /dev/input/event7
name: "Touch p303 Keyboard"
could not get driver version for /dev/input/mouse0, Not a typewriter

/dev/input/event8: EV_ABS ABS_X 00004748
/dev/input/event8: EV_ABS ABS_Y 00005ba8

I've created an *.idc file per this documentation, but have had difficulty finding what properties I can even change. My config is as follows:

touch.deviceType = touchScreen
touch.orientationAware = 1
touch.gestureMode = spots

I've confirmed the .idc file is being used, but as expected it doesn't change the behaviour. The strange thing is if I change the touch.deviceType to 'pointer' it works exactly as I would expect -- it turns into a large trackpad with a mouse cursor displayed on screen and I can actually 'click' on items...

I've also checked out `dmesg` and `adb shell dumpsys input`, comparing the different touch screens and different phones, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary (with my limited knowledge anyway...).

Any hints on what might be the issue or further steps I can take to troubleshoot would be much appreciated!

Any solution guys , it is very important data for my work plssss
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
While directly transferring WhatsApp data between Huawei and Honor phones through their individual cloud services (Huawei Mobile Cloud and HiSuite) isn't officially supported, there is an alternativ method you can try to backup your WhatsApp data from your Huawei X3 and restore it to your Honor Magic V2:

Create a Local Backup on Huawei X3:

Open WhatsApp on your Huawei X3.

Go to Settings > Chats > Chat backup.

Choose Backup to Local storage (or SD card if available).

Select the Frequency of backups (e.g., Daily, Weekly, etc.) and optionally include Videos if desired.

Tap BACK UP.

Locate and Transfer Backup File:

Open the Files app on your Huawei X3.

Navigate to Internal storage > WhatsApp > Databases.

Locate the latest backup file named msgstore.db.crypt12 (or similar).

Transfer this file to your Honor Magic V2 using Bluetooth, cloud storage, or a cable connection.

Restore Backup on Honor Magic V2:

Install and open WhatsApp on your Honor Magic V2.

Verify your phone number and follow the on-screen prompts.

When prompted to "Restore chat history," tap Restore.

[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
Have you tried disabling Samsung Ram Plus? it's in Settings > Battery and device care > Memory > Set to 0GB

If there is no Memory option on your device, enable the option with ADB

adb shell settings put global ram_expand_size_list 0,1,2,4,6,8
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamad Gahed:
Already set to 0 and disabled my friend

i also tried the below command but no go as i found there is about 3GB dedicated to zram even after using the command

adb shell settings put global zram_enabled 0​
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Wondering what sense it would make to disable ZRAM? I know because ZRAM itself consumes a small portion of your physical RAM, disabling it could make this extra bit available to apps. But disabling ZRAM puts more pressure on your existing physical RAM to handle the full workload.

Yes, the command you provided, adb shell settings put global zram_enabled 0, is the correct way to attempt disabling ZRAM on an Android device using ADB. It generally does not require root privileges for it to work.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamad Gahed:
i want to disable zram to test if it makes the phone faster/smoother :)

regarding the command i tried it and then checked with apps and found the zram still available the same with memory allocated to it normally
