Really? I find USBtool OK once it's connected - I think my Outlook may just be TOO huge which is why it has problems syncing. Of course getting it to connect WinMo to Vista in the first place is sometimes a laugh... though I read on this forum about turning off the advanced USB thing from WinMo and having High Power selected does seem to make it work more often than not on the first attempt. And if it doesn't, turn the advanced USB on and off, then it works 99% of the time.

Of course, now I'm experimenting in Linux so who knows what'll happen!

Can't wait to see the phone bit working http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473656 but am more interested in accessing the SD, USB or HDD from WinMo personally
[Shift Development] CraF:
GPS?

Hi all.

One question - I install this ROM and try use GPS. How I can activate it? Coz if I just start Google Maps and sad - use windows managed GPS, Shift can't find any satelits:( If I set COM4/57600 - Shift write - No GPS HW found:(
[Shift Development] hexagram:
I got same error as you with another ROM.

Maybe we miss something to do after installing the ROM.

I've seen too there are different models of shift depending of the region.

Mine is french.

Maybe it's the problem.

Anyone know how to know the version of my shift, and what are models that include GPS ?
[Shift Development] koala996:
mine is french too and GPS works .. but it's a weak GPS hard to find satellites... grrr..

look at the number behind "clio" under the battery (not on the battery) near the sim card
[Shift Development] hexagram:
I got a clio110.

When i'm in my house or in my car i got no satellites with gps.

When i specify in google maps with the same fix parameters, it says that there is no hardware device connected.

I haven't tried yet in a garden or a parc.

A-Gps is functional but, as far as i know, they are two separate functions.
[Shift Development] koala996:
don't know about A-Gps , but you should try HTC GPS Tools... it's the best way to see if it works (the rest is for later...)

edit : you are using PLIROM ? but this rom doesn't have gps, I think.

the two roms that I know which have GPS are the cmonex one and the thaihugo (french) one.
[Shift Development] hexagram:
i thought that plirom had gps (gps tool and google maps installed)...

anyway i tried the ROM from thaihugo

i got same problems :

i open gpstools

i open device COM4 with 57600 baudrate

i initialize nav

i go to the satellite function but no satellites connected

i go in information but nothing appears...:(

any idea ?
[Shift Development] hexagram:
After a new test this morning, it works !! :D

It seems i was not so patient for the first synchronization .... (about 2-3minutes) and that the gps, if not in outside has difficulties to connect to satellites.

I will make a test on google maps as soon as my HSDPA connection is configured

Thanks all for your help ;)
[Shift Development] shaytaan:
Will quickGPS tool from htc boost the cold-start proccess?
[Shift Development] hexagram:
I don't know because i am not aware of this software.

What is it ?

Where can i find it please ?
[Shift Development] hexagram:
Google Maps works fine on my french shift.
[Shift Development] mactablet:
Both this rom and thai hugos are pretty cool, but for the life of me i can't get the usb tool to stay connected! It seems to connect and sync when vista (and it) first boot but then no matter what I do I can't get it to connect after a restart.

anyone esle had issues? I'm currently running this standard gullum rom with the usb tool that has the typo.
[Shift Development] FOOFTR:
Yes, I am having a lot of issues with this ROM....USB won't connect at all, 3G constantly drops away and Vista cannot see it....ditching it as it is too unstable.....
[Shift Development] gullum:
Sorry that there have been no updates for some time from me.

Where I live now I don't have any internet I only have gprs on my shift .. not verry fast for uploading or downloading and verry expencive in my country.

I'm visiting my parents this weekend so I can download some new stuff to add to my roms.

My next rom will have lots of new stuff but I don't know when I can release it.. don't know when I have a good internet conection again.

But there will come a new rom with Phone calling

So I followed this tutorial to get raw capture on my A50:

{Mod edit: Link to Telegram removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

And got RAW Capture enabled:

View attachment 6087359

Check the bottom of the post to try patch

However the RAW photos have a pink hue/tint to them.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Someone please help! I really want RAW Capture on my A50.

I can't stand the color noise reduction or noise reduction used in the A50.

DNG Captured using ProShot exported as JPEG on Lightroom Mobile

View attachment 6087361

If you want to enable raw capture on the A50 check the attachments,

and install the a50RawCaptureMagiskModule.zip in Magisk. (It is a Magisk Module, not TWRP)

Full credit to ravindu644 btw.

If you decide you want to revert the patch for some reason just remove it or disable it in Magisk.

Doing so will revert all the changes done by the patch.

The module replaces the /vendor/lib/libexynoscamera3.so file with one that,

I patched using the method I mentioned earlier from Telegram.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Miftakhul080:
In my view, Raw photo means it has to be retouch. I think the same purple effect also happen in other smartphone like my brother's OPPO. I wish U attach the .DNG file as well instead of converted DNG to JPG file so we do can tweak the raw file using lighroom or something like that.

the point is u has succesfully enable raw capture in samsung A50 2019, I wonder does it disturb main camera? I mean, it is independent api, isn't it? stock camera is good for some circumstances. I don't want to lose it. It would be annoying if the maincamera ware effected by this module so user would also often enter TWRP in order to switch this feature.

Does anyone have any suggestions on ones I should try?

I'm currently running crDroid 7 (Android 11) but am open to all ROM types.

I would though, like something with some sort of customisation ability. Doesn't have to be full like crDroid, but at least some option.

Also open to all Android versions except 6.0 Marshmallow.

My problem: After upgrading to version 14 (AP1A.240405.002), the "circle to search" feature does not work. It disconnected as if it had never been there, even though it worked perfectly before the update. I have root access, but the feature worked before. I also have the play integrity fix installed.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro  Questions & Answers] C0DEX0:
I picked up my old mi note 10 pro. i installed orangefox and installed miuimix on it (currently discontinued, it stops at version 13.0.2.0). Magisk is preinstalled at version 24.3.

Everything was fine until I found out that magisk hide doesn't hide the root from my banking apps. I followed this guide but found out that the plugins are only available from magisk version higher than 26.4. I then tried uninstalling and installing this version of magisk but it screwed up the whole rom so I tried version 27. This version of magisk works correctly only when I open the magisk app it asks me for 'additional configuration required'. I accept, and select the "Direct installation (recommended)" option. It fleshes everything out and then reboots (from the blue magisk button not manually). The problem is that at this point, the phone gets stuck in the miui logo screen and won't start the OS. and so I'm stuck like this because I can't do anything.
[General Topics] vwauditech:
I have Advanced Searched XDA and others looking for an answer on this.

Problem In Manila2D if you have unread SMS messages it shows the # on the icon. To rid yourself of this you must touch the screen to open the message then OK to return to Manila2D messaging tab. This will get rid of the # on the tab.

Solution Add a Dismiss or Save as Read to the Menu drop box. Most SMS messages are short enough to be read entirely from the tab without having to open SMS/MMS.

If anyone has any ideas on this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] vwauditech:
OK, I guess nobody has any thoughts on this. I have seen that there is a 3 second SMS mod that makes the notification go away after viewing the SMS tab for 3 secs. If anyone has more info on that I would appreciate it. Would be nice to make the change to any ROM running Manila2D. Thanks Again.

Have a couple of TS10 9 inch to 13.1 inch head units that I want to get higher quality reverse camera imaging from.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] kraalzulu:
My XZ Premium has somehow disabled the mic so nobody can hear me on phone calls. the mic works when i record a video.

I've spent weeks trying to fix this .I've scoured the web. I've tried every setting I can find to fix it. I've done a hard reset. No success.

So i tried installing xperia companion (to reinstall Pie), which Sony says will install on anything including XP. Well, it doesn't install here, neither XP nor Win7. With Win7 (Ultimate) I get an error message saying it can't create the start menu folder. I wish programs would stop displaying pointless, useless messages and tell me something useful ( I also wish Sony would stop replying to specific problems with timewasting generic 'solutions )'.

So here I am. Any /specific/ advice on how to fix the mic welcome. Any /specific/ advice on how to get Companion to install welcome...

Note: I have the remains of a sense of humour, but it's fragile :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
The XZ has two openings and two microphones.

Probably the microphone for calls, the one with the hole at the bottom, is damaged. However, maybe only the hole is plugged? Try cleaning the small hole with a copper wire, but don't put it too deep.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] kraalzulu:
Thanks for the reply. It certainly sounds like a dead mic, but sadly I think I've eliminated that by covering each mic in turn while recording a video. Both seem to work. But maybe I've missed something?

Also, when making a call, the other person can't hear anything at all, no crackles or noise of any kind.

I found a couple of people with the same problem during my searches, and it appears to be a s/w glitch
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] AveryLarson:
Any update? I am also facing the same issue.

Edit: I am still trying to find it but no luck yet.

I managed to backup the firmware of this device using a paid tool ( UnlockTool ).

Firmrware

Please Flash it at your own risk. I am not resposible for anything that happens to your device.

This firmware can also be used to root the device by patching boot image and flashing it using fastboot. The steps to which I am not describing here. You can find plenty of guides online.

Please also note that this firmware is only for the pakistani region.

Any other region devices might face network issues and IMEI loss after flashing.

If you somehow bricked your device, then going to the service centre is your only and best option. As I have faced the same issue.

I have an android device (Vgo Tel Note 24) that I want to root but there is no firmware available for it as far as I have searched. So I cant patch the boot image with magisk and flash it. The phone has mediatek helio g99 processor and It is fairly recent device and the firmware availability is none. Is there a way to extract the boot image from the device itself or any other way to root the device.​

[General Questions and Answers] Average android guy:
Yeah but the chances are very slim. I was able to root it with help of friend. He has his own mobile shop and he had some kind of paid software that exploited mediatek chipset in brom mode and read the system partitions to extract boot image. I hope this helps.

Name of software?

And how did you managed to install drivers for brom mode?

AMT

It comes bundled with the software and installs automatically

Only problem is that phone doesn't stay in brom mode.

And there is no free tool available for disabling da and ssl security of mtk helio g99

Thats right. Only AMT tools supports this function as far as I have searched. May there could be another tool but right now only AMT works and recently Unlock tool also added support for MTK G99. Idk why your phone doesnt stay in brom mode. May be try disabling windows driver signature enforcement or reinstall the drivers.

Today I contacted at vgo tel helpline for providing me firmware file of vgo tel note 23.

Hi brother. Were you able to speak with your friend about this? I have the same device and I was playing with it to install a custom rom. I succeeded in installing one however I lost my imei and serial number. Now the phone doesn't detect sim card. Is it possible for you to speak with your friend and dump the complete firmware in a zip file and share with us? That will be a huge help. Also it you could share what paid tool does your friend has?

I can share info and links for custom roms if required. I think if we have both, we can probably create a custom rom with easy steps to follow. It will help out many other users as well.

Thanks in advance and I will wait for your response. You can DM me as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Average android guy:
I asked him for the software but he said that it only works on his computer as it is bounded or registered in that tool with some kind of a dongle.

I cant dump the firmware as I have already installed a GSI on my phone like a month ago. So my phone doesnt have the official firmware. I cant find one online as well.

You should check in your local area if someone can help restore your device. The restoration of imei and serial shouldn't be that hard because if you have the box these details will be mentioned there.
[General Questions and Answers] haseebtehsin:
So when you installed a different firmware, did you lose the imei as well? Is it possible to make a dump of the firmware you have as is?

Unfortunately I am not in Pakistan (was there for a month when I bought the phone) and hence I don't have any local help where I am. I know it is the infinity box cm2 dongle that comes with a paid software that can be used to restore imei info but that costs nearly the same as the phone itself so I am not willing to buy that. I will try and contact vgo tel customer support to obtain the official firmware but I doubt if they will be helpful in that regard.
