TS9 10.25" Screen Headunit for BMW 1Series

I'm wondering if my device can be updated. The guy on AliExpress posted as a android 10. but after installing it I realized its only on Android 8.1.0 . Its has 8Core SP9853i processor with 4gigs of memory, DSP, 1920x720 res. etc. It also has a...

Great .. is it really that easy ? .. my processor is SP9853i which is a intel x86 i think, so if grabbed a version that's for x86 I can flash/upgrade ? also can I backup my current system as is just in case it goes bad, would I loose my current apps mainly carplay functionality ? ..

Who all are purchasing this beauty?
[Vivo X Fold] vetl:
Me, but I want to wait for global version, need my android auto ))) I was in doubts between honor magic v2 global vs vivo, but seems like vivo will release global version as well, so vivo is the winner
[Vivo X Fold] Candy_girl2008:
I don't know why Vivo didn't give the Pro version the under screen fingerprint just like on the Vivo X90 pro+ or Vivo X Note, that's a big disappointed for me, other than that everything is perfect, specially the white version look beautiful
[Vivo X Fold] perfecteric:
Not correct. Pro version does get this under screen version
[Vivo X Fold] Candy_girl2008:
I think you never own any Vivo phone,all the Vivo X Fold 1,2 and 3 pro have the same under screen fingerprint but it huge difference with the under screen fingerprint on the X90 pro+ and X Note,check it for yourself
[Vivo X Fold] perfecteric:
I owned 2 vivo folds, both with underscreen scanner. Maybe you mean its a smaller area to touch? I can't say, never owned a Vivo 90 pro or X-note
[Vivo X Fold] Candy_girl2008:
That's why I said "just like on the X90 pro plus or X Note", you have to try it to see how amazing is that to compare to the small boring under screen fingerprint like any other phone, that really a underate feature :)
[Vivo X Fold] perfecteric:
Ordered last week, Pro version black. Have to wait till end of april 🥺
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
I ordered mine last week as well, hope I get it by the end of April.
[Vivo X Fold] ahtiong73:
Question; would Google Pay and Wear OS work on imported devices?
[Vivo X Fold] mr2kqql:
Ordered last week at offical Vivo from TMall, hopefully it will be here soon.
[Vivo X Fold] vetl:
Will android auto work?
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Yes. I ordered it Vivo X Fold from Giztop earlier and Google Wallet works. Not sure about Wear OS compatibility
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
I'm going to wait internationals ROM with Android Auto, Google Assistant working, etc
[Vivo X Fold] mr2kqql:
Not gonna happen. Maybe the next generation will.
[Vivo X Fold] hoppy_barzed:
What wireless charger is recommended for the x fold3 pro?

I have this one https://www.vivo.com/en/products/charger but it won't charge when phone is vertical, the camera bump is too big. I have to put the phone horizontally to charge.

Any better option?
[Vivo X Fold] perfecteric:
Will receive my Fold 3 Pro on Tuesday from Wonda 👍🏼😃
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Thanks for sharing, I might be on the look out as well as I will b facing a similar issue when I get my fold 3 next week
[Vivo X Fold] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
I hope they release a Global model now. I use Android Auto daily and cannot buy the China model.
[Vivo X Fold] Prydateer:
niet buy a Tesla and Android Auto not needed anymore ;)
[Vivo X Fold] atilcan:
Hey lucky fold 3 pro users, do you have android auto or still stuck with jovi?
[Vivo X Fold] perfecteric:
No Android auto....🥺
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Has anyone received their Vivo X Fold 3 pro yet?

Getting mine delivered today, purchased it from Wonda Mobile, super fast delivery (6 days)
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
I Got mine delivered and was able to set up a new phone using the Switch app in under 30 minutes. Here are some early points

Much lighter, and smaller in overall size (bezel size smaller than X fold

More responsive and faster than X Fold

So far battery life looks pretty solid compared to X Fold

The outside screen came with a screen protector already installed
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
Thank you for sharing. vivo X Fold 1 is so fast I can not imagine faster :)
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Looks like X Fold 3 Pro is being launched and Indonesia and India in June 2024, I am sure Global Rom will be available post release
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
we hope so
[Vivo X Fold] kamirza:
Got the vivo x fold 3 pro. Using it for over 2 weeks. Pros and cons.

Hardware is beautiful. Opens perfectly at 180 degrees. Finger print sensors work very well. Light weight. Nice screens. Cameras are too good. Great build quality.

Cons. Software origin os 4 is fine not great. Still better than Fun touch. No match for samsung. Can use third party launchers buy there are glitches. Speakers are not the best. Theme store is terrible. Everytime you are directed towards things in chinese. Changes only wallpaper and basic icons. Most phones have fonts in ttf which are easy to install. This uses itz format which is impossible to install. Miss my galaxy fold 4 as the themes come to all the system background. Wear os works but it says WATCH IS NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS PHONE when I want to connect galaxy watch to it. Android auto is not supported.

When global comes we don't know if it will be origin or fun touch. Still keeping it because of few pros with a pinch of salt.
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
Is Camera really better than previous X Fold versions? It seems a slight upgrade...
[Vivo X Fold] kamirza:
No experience with previous vivo folds but comparing it with so many other phones around, it just blows them away.
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
other phones do you mean something really good like Samsung S24 ULTRA, iPhone 14/15 etc?
[Vivo X Fold] mr2kqql:
I came from xiaomi 12s ultra to vivo x fold 3 pro, as expected the camera is not as good as the 12s 1" sensor. I have had used flagships from huawei, bbk group and Xiaomi so I know what a good camera's like. btw in mostly Asia except Korea, not many people uses samsung anymore and there hardware sucks compare to Chinese brands.

[Vivo X Fold] mr2kqql:
I had been using the 2.0 for weeks already. Got it from Taobao.
[Vivo X Fold] kamirza:
Using the x 3pro for a month. Love the hardware but very frustrated with software. Setup is nice but every now and then things are diverted to Chinese. Theme store is useless. You can't even buy themes as only Chinese banking is allowed. Anyone working on installing global funtouch over this Chinese origin rom?

I am waiting for the Funtouch OS Rom, will be giving it a try as soon as the ROM is available.

[Vivo X Fold] kamirza:
The funtouch Rom is there but how can we flash it without unlocking the bootloader. And that is still blocked
[Vivo X Fold] kamirza:
So bootloader can be unlocked through developer options but still it doesn't install Funtouch as I've downloaded that ROM

[Vivo X Fold] Cyrax-001:
Funtouch is inferior to OriginOS in many terms, especially in terms of battery efficiency. Why do you want to flash it anyway?
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
Funtouch is global-friendly for non-chinese people...Android Auto, no chinese O.S. sections, Google assistant voice commands, no customization limits :)

I'm waiting for european global version (similar to indian version but with european endowment like battery charger)
[Vivo X Fold] Cyrax-001:
I don't think there would be any European ROM because the phone was only released in Asia.

I believe there are some workarounds for the points you mentioned. I don't use Android Auto or google Assistant that's why I find OriginOS to be good for my needs. I live in Europe too and everything else is working perfect on the X Fold 3
[Vivo X Fold] guybrush2099:
Yes I know you are taking about...I have chinese X Fold 1 and most of things works with some tricks (but no android auto and voice assistant but I solved with other apps)
[Vivo X Fold] mr2kqql:
For us that's been driving for more than 25 years plus, who need android auto? I don't and I am fine with where I want to go without any aids. For music audio I have bluetooth thats automatically connect.
[Vivo X Fold] Sithlordpt:
I’m also interested. I bought the Vivo Fold 3 Pro and it’s absolutely amazing but Jovi AI is driving me crazy. I love so much this phone but I need Google AI, not this chinese crap. Once you find out how to flash it let me know.

Regarding Google Voice Assistant it is possible to install it and map volume buttons to trigger it, you need button mapper app from Playstore. My problem is the Chinese AI that is trash.
[Vivo X Fold] KackNCrack:
Did it work? I'm never flashed a phone... Are there any tuts and recovery options if I mess up?
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Didn't give it a try yet. To be honest, after reading better reviews about the Chinese Rom and how superior it is to Funtouch OS, I might not do it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FoxoBread:
Greetings folks, I have a bit of a pickle.

Recently when messing around with Linux on my A3, I managed to completely zero out the eMMC.

The eMMC is completely blank and doesn't contain any partitions anymore, not even download mode, and the phone shows next to no signs of life.

When plugging it into my machine while holding volume down and power, dmesg reports as follows:

usb 1-2.1: new high-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-2.1: Device not responding to setup address.
usb 1-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=9008, bcdDevice= 0.00
usb 1-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-2.1: Product: QHSUSB__BULK
usbcore: registered new interface driver qcserial
usbserial: USB Serial support registered for Qualcomm USB modem
qcserial 1-2.1:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
usb 1-2.1: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0

And the device is visible via lsusb as:

ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)

Would there be any hope in recovering it?

If so; what steps should be taken?
[General Questions and Answers] leukoshta:
I have been using the free version of NextDNS for my phone for quite some time now, and since it's worked well and been reliable, I told my boyfriend about it and helped him set it up for his own phone. We use separate accounts due to the 300,000 query/month limit for the free service, and I've been surprised multiple times when he's told me he's nearing the limit, we use our phones about equally, though for different things, and I'd never come close to reaching the limit.

Finally this month he went over and the DNS disabled itself, I went to take a look at it, and found the top two queried root domains, and 3 out of the listed 6, were TikTok. Worse, those 3 alone totalled 304,697 queries between them over 30 days. Curious, I checked my account and my top root domain was also TikTok as well, with two on the list.

The three domains are *.tiktokcdn, *.tiktokv, and *.ttlivecdn. The most reliable source (googling "what is tiktokv.com") claims it's their 3rd party tracker service, which appears accurate given the whole URL queries. Obviously CDNs make many requests, and trackers are trying to get every last drop of info, i.e. they spam you, but even with that in mind, this is excessive to the point of being concerning.

We also use the apps very differently, I only have it because friends send me links, and opening them in browser is atrocious at best, non-functioning at worst. He actually uses the app himself, on the other hand, though not excessively. His CDN queries were 184,939, and trackers 100,351, with live being 19,407, mine were CDN 10,669 and tracker 4,292, so the difference is evident, but nothing should be doing 13x as much as *.facebook (14,433) in his case, and in my case an app I don't use or open almost ever should not outpace an OEM stock OS domain (*.allawnos; 8,078)

Any help with figuring out what's going on, and how it can be fixed, if it can be, will be greatly appreciated. Staying on topic will be too, I'd rather not have my first ever post turn into bickering over TikTok of all things, especially when there's an actual issue.

[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
TikTok is notorious for stealing personal information. It is owned by ByteDance, which is located in China, so they collect a ton of trackers from you. That is why I don’t use social media.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I would be cautious about any claims that this is a bug and can be easily fixed. It's more likely that this is intentional behavior on TikTok's part. However, if you're concerned about your privacy, you can always adjust your TikTok settings or consider using a different app.

With regards to TikTok's CDNs and trackers:

Data Collection:

The large number of CDN and tracker calls are intentional and part of how TikTok collects user data. These calls might track things like what videos you watch, how long you watch them, and what device you're using. This data is valuable to TikTok because it allows them to personalize your experience and target you with ads - what allows them to earn money.

Performance Optimization:

The calls are necessary to optimize the app's performance. CDNs can help deliver content to users faster, while trackers can help diagnose and fix bugs.
[General Questions and Answers] leukoshta:
There have been numerous studies since the app's release aimed at discerning the data collection and security, and every single one has concluded that the data collection is minimal, and the more important issue was the various security flaws that came and went over the years.

Your insinuation that a connection to China is proof of widespread theft of personal information is based in nothing. If you can name a Chinese tech firm I would be surprised, if you can name one that is proven to have engaged in the mass exploitation of user data, you'd be making millions selling the story to every western media outlet there is.

On the other hand, one country in the world is known for its corporations' countless exploitations of user data, all of which are well documented and backed up by mountains of evidence, and still occurring at this moment. Facebook and google are so prolific that their violations would fill an encyclopedia each. If tiktok was a US company I might believe the fearmongering lol.

I even asked for people to remain on topic so please ask yourself why you felt the need to jump in sounding like a US congressman.
[General Questions and Answers] leukoshta:
I am cautious in claiming it's a bug, I just want to know what could be causing something like this. I'm not concerned about privacy, as stated in the other reply I have read many studies highlighting the fact that the claims of TikTok privacy invasion being spurious, and the evidence is very clear.

I understand how CDNs and trackers work, my issue here is that facebook, reddit, google, tumblr, etc are all using CDNs and trackers themselves, and I don't see a real reason why those services are all rather in line with each other, whilst TikTok stands out orders of magnitude above the rest. The volume of requests is abnormal when taken into consideration with the other high volume requesters utilising the same core features are so disparate, especially google and facebook which by nature of their omnipresence should in theory be up top. It's too much to believe either are that optimised, so too is it too much to believe tiktok is poorly optimised to such an egregious extent
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Temu, P.D.D Holdings, WoSign, Tencent, WeChat…

Also, the data has had evidence of using it for espionage.

How do I change it to Staorage Card is my first question...

Manually editing the registry entry doesn't work, nor does changing the attributes of the files in question.

Up until now, although I have many ringtones on my htc Touch GSM, it can only see three of them. Some are hidden but no matter what I do, it only ever sees the three files in Windows.

Any thought? I've trawled the wibbly-wobbly-web and have come up blank.

which custom rom has the best battery life and performance for poco f5
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] MILAD12:
you can't have both performance and battrey life as same time
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
I don't want some serious performance but just I don't want frame drops in bgmi
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
Please suggest a time as soon as possible
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
Evolution x vs superior os vs paranoid Android which is best
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Master_T:
The ones I've tried:

PixelExperience: fastest and smoothest one I've tried, with good battery life, but very "stock" (missing very basic features, like double-tap-to-wake)

crDroid: good battery life, average performance, many features

EvolutionX: a ton of features, but quite slow and laggy in my experience, with average battery life.

ParanoidAndroid Uvite (my current daily driver): good battery life, quite clean and smooth. NOTE: needs root+integrityFix module to pass integrity checks and allow the use of banking apps etc.

For me, the perfect ROM would be PixelExperience if they ever release the "plus" version with some more extra features, for now I'll stay on Paranoid, but still searching for something better.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
pixel experience is officially not released yet right??
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Master_T:
Yes, the current build is unofficial (very very smooth though)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
you said that paranoid needs root plus integrity fix module to run banking apps but in development thread they mentioned it is passed out of the box
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
just flashed paranoid it is passed safety check but in play store it is showing uncertified
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Master_T:
That information is outdated I think. On my installation I needed root + module to be able to use Google Wallet.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
in my phone the phonepe and google pay working fine
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Master_T:
Nice to hear, but keep an eye on it, it has a tendency to lose integrity without warning after a while...
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
Will there be any issues?? Is it safe to use right? can this be fixed without or changing kernel solves the problem
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Master_T:
Nope, you're not passing integrity, as I suspected: in the first screen you need the first two checks to be green: MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY and MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY for Wallet and other banking apps to work (it is normal that MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY doesn't pass, it will never pass with unlocked bootloader, but payments and most apps don't need it)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
But payments are working fine in my mobile
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Master_T:
I'm talking contactless payments, i.e.: when you tap your phone to pay with a credit/debit card in a shop or other business, using Google Wallet. I find it strange that it would work without passing device_integrity.

Paying for something online will work regardless, it's a completely different process.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
Oh I won't really make any contact less payments. So I think I can use this rom
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Pavamarea:
Here is my personal experience and opinion.​

I've been using root since 2013. The main reasons were always advanced customization, modifying audio with Viper4android, uninstalling bloatware and adware more effectively.

Well, all of these features have become available on non-rooted devices thanks to Shizuko. Besides the peace of mind of being able to use Google Wallet and similar apps without worrying about frequent Google security updates, which is determined to prevent the use of this feature with root. I got tired of this cat and mouse game and went back to the original ROM, locked bootloader and Shizuko helping me with specific items. I got tired of advanced customization over time, and today I'm happy with a slight change of icons.

As for battery life, in my use, HyperOs original is still the best in battery life, and from August last year to January this year, I used almost all custom ROMs for the Poco F5.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
I tested some roms in that I found crdroid has the best battery life but it doesn't feel good while playing games. Evo x has good gaming optimisation but the battery life on normal use isn't that good. Hyperos is good but I am getting some lags and framedrops while playing game.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] kandoriyakishan:
1) Have u tried crdroid + melt kernel ?

2) Evo x 7.9.9 + KonaBess Custom Battery config will give good Battery backup when not playing games.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Charandeep_reddy:
No I am new to these custom roms I dont know how custom kernels work so for now I am not daring to use custom kernals
