So ,after the downgrade to Dec patch (battery issues) I restored my settings with smart switch,and now I can't make the navigation bar transparent on TikTok app.

I mean in the app when I use 2 fingers to zoom,the bar is not transparent.

I checked the developers option for transparent but after just 1 video it's back to non-transparent.

It's the app or something else?

Hello,

After burning a "recovery" firmware {Mod edit: Link to 4pda removed! Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator} the box is not recognized by adnl any longer.

For some reason, the box now appears to be recognized as Google Nexus/Pixel:

It also seems that the product changed from MDZ-28-AA to MiTV-AFKR0

Hi, I am here to find information on smartphone firmware and different custom ROMs
[General Questions and Answers] Ikky1985:
Hi all

I have a fake iPhone 15 pro max, the skin or ios that is on the phone is really slow. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the current operating system and restore to an android phone so I ca download apps and studs because at the moment there is not I can do with the phone. Any help would be great. Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Ikky1985:
Managed to find this menu not sure if this helps
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Are you able to get the device detected on your computer? You can install android by flashing the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Ikky1985:
I will try this today, I there any resource where I can see how this is done are by step. Not really familiar with the process
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
What software do you want to flash (download) android on?
[General Questions and Answers] DON_95:
I too have a fake iPhone 15 pro max and I did try to flash it via laptop, but the thing is it is getting recognized and showing up on THIS PC however doing anything related to flash and stuff Its not popping up in the software or even command prompt. It doesn't even show a developer option on the fake iPhone.
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Must be running some unknown OS?
[General Questions and Answers] DON_95:
Umm yeah it looks like iPhone's but definitely not the actual iPhone 15 OS. So any solutions to that??

I actually wanna try downloading the graphene OS so this fake iPhone is perfect subject for it
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
I have no idea. Guess you can looks through the menus and settings to see what things you find.
[General Questions and Answers] DON_95:
That's another issue as half of the settings doesn't even work like the text shows but clicking doesn't do anything. and as I said no developer option is shown plus no 3rd party software recognizes the device making it difficult to change the OS.
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
That is interesting. What happens if you contact the seller?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
To be honest, I doubt you'll find a solution because fake/clone devices are so hacked together that it is almost impossible to truly identify the hardware/software in/on the device. At best, you can disassemble/open the device and try to find the motherboard series number(should be a serial number printed on the motherboard) or exactly which CPU series(the CPU series number, not just the manufacturer name). There are some Russian websites that are known to have firmware for all kinds of obscure/cloned devices, maybe you can try one of those websites and post your motherboard series and your CPU series. Maybe someone there can help you find a compatible firmware or a firmware that can be modified to work on your device.

All things considered, you might not have any luck finding anything for it and probably isn't worth the time and effort even if you can find something. Fake/clone devices are pure junk and they have cheap, limited hardware that doesn't perform well when using more modern versions of firmware.

My advice, DO NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER FAKE/CLONE DEVICE, regardless of how cheap it is or how cool it "looks".

There are plenty of actual, real, non fake/non clone mid range devices that are cheap and are better devices than any fake/clone device.

I got into building Android ROMs and really enjoyed it. Now, I started creating my own ROM that reflects what I love about custom ROMs, SomethingOS. Any feedback would be appreciated!​

🪐 What is SomethingOS ?​

Unlike what the name may suggest, SomethingOS is based on AOSPA.

Bringing a fresh new design, some loved features (Like Play Integrity patch updater)

And so much more !

And the Nothing Phone (2) is the first device to get SomethingOS !
​

🎚️ SomethingOS features​

Animations in settings for a better one hand use

A beautiful new boot animation

Google Photos unlimited

Pixel exclusive features

Play Integrity Settings (with updater)

Lawnchair & Lawnchair Quickstep

Advanced Reboot options

Hide QS in secure lockscreen

Block Ads

Ignore Window secure flag

More to come...
​

🚩Known Issues​

None (yes, SMS works)
​

🚧 How can I help SomethingOS ?​

You can donate with PayPal or BuyMeACoffee, test builds, give feedbacks, or even join me to do some code !

In any of these cases, you can join our Telegram
​

🚀Download​

​

⚡ Installation​

Make sure to use latest platform tools

Download SomethingOS-14-phone2-*-image.zip

Reboot to bootloader

Wipe data : `fastboot -w`

`fastboot update SomethingOS-14-phone2-*-image.zip`

You can then update the same way and skip the wipe part, or use the recovery package and adb sideload/flash with the default or a custom recovery

You can also update with the Updater app

Vanilla be made available? No more Crdroid from you?
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Vanilla is not planned, I will continue crDroid at the same time, just waiting for QPR2
[Nothing Phone 2] Razor64:
Sad to see too few vanilla versions across devices.
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
I agree, I may consider a vanilla version if I see some more requests
[Nothing Phone 2] Anbiona:
Are the glyph features the same as in AOSPA?
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Yes, this is their implementation

NOS Camera?
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Not yet
[Nothing Phone 2] kartikeycseprep:
Popup Windows feature missing..

auto captions doesnt have hindi support unlike NOS..

Rules feature isnt working..
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Hello,

- Rules settings works without issues on my side, did you gave proper permissions to it ?

- Popup windows feature missing : If you're speaking of Picture-in-Picture, it works too, confirmed with a tester too

- Auto Captions doesn't have hindi support : I will take a look at Auto Caption and see if I can do something
[Nothing Phone 2] kartikeycseprep:
I gave permission to rules.. but still when am going out of range and coming back in range.. it doesnt changing ringer mode for me.. any suggestions?
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Rule is an app made by Google and I have no control over it, I just tried turning off and on my wifi and it does trigger the rule I've set

Maybe it takes a bit of time to trigger ?

Else I can recommend trying Tasker
[Nothing Phone 2] ...:LEO:...:
I am a gamer and always ask to send some screenshot of game space features , can u please send some screen shots, the performance mode is important to me to flash a custom rom. I play CODM and want to have a better experience.

Thanks a lot...
[Nothing Phone 2] wiadrovit:
Good to see another ROM in development, couple of questions though:

Does android auto work on this one?

In terms of glyph, what's actually working? What can you do with it?

Are there plans to port NOS Camera? Is it even possible?

Thanks!
[Nothing Phone 2] drawix:
anyone tried it arter97 kernel or should I stick with stock one? Thanks <3
[Nothing Phone 2] drawix:
edit: arter is only compatible with stock NOS rom. Use an meteoric kernel. Beware, I have a bootloop issue but looks like it's 50/50
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Hello, AndroidAuto works

Glyph works with:

- Flip to glyph

- Brightness control

- Calls

- Notifications

- Charge battery indicator

- Reverse wireless charging

- Volume Indicator

- Music mode

All of that thanks to Fabian from AOSPA Team

I'm working a lot on SomethingOS sources, but I've heard AOSPA is working on NOS Camera, so when they succeed, it will be ported to SomethingOS too
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Have you been able to find the issue for when it's bootlooping ?
[Nothing Phone 2] drawix:
nope, I've tred to flashed it with multiple methods. I've been playing with it for ~4hrs and gave up

edit: will to flash new meteoric kernel that were uploaded on telegram, I will hit you up when I'm finished.

edit2: newer meteoric kernel works, BUT not the release one.

If you want to use meteoric use telegram and get this: https://t.me/SomethingOS/107/2123
[Nothing Phone 2] areallytinydot:
Spoofing high fps does not seem to work
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Hello, you're right, the spoofing logic has been fixed and will be working fine in the next build
[Nothing Phone 2] areallytinydot:
Thank you very much! SomethingOS is right now the most perfect ROM for me with the fewest gotchas.

The game that I play is gate-keeping the FPS settings through partnerships with vendors, which I think is toxic to the gaming community.

I have been using a magisk module to achieve the spoofing. Having this spoofing mechanism would allow me to live without root access which has the advantage of passing safetynet. Thanks again!

Something that might bother others but not me as much is an issue with the camera which is present in all ROMs except nothingmuchrom - pictures have more pronounced shadows (I don't know how to describe it). Enabling hdr+ kinda solves it, but produces other artifacts. It's not a big deal, considering how awesome this ROM already is.

After no answer to my post , I decided to flash it myself , so now I'm in SomethingOS 1.1.

There is no game dashboard or space but the rom is super smooth and light, in game (CODM) some missing game mode annoying like performance mode, or prevent accidental touch .... I like your Job and will wait with hope to see something for Gamers.

Thanks
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Hello, my apologies, I thought I answered because I had a similar question on the telegram group

Gamespace is not planned
[Nothing Phone 2] ...:LEO:...:
Thanks for reply. after 2-3 days of playing with SomethingOS I have to say this is wonderful and I'm so happy to flashed it. I will keep it for daily use and grateful for your job. Gamespace will make this rom perfect for me but without that it is so nice too. I was looking for a rom that use the hardware performance well and this is what I was looking for.

I have some suggestions too :

1. Auto brightness control not work perfectly, almost the time the brightness is less than necessary and I have to modify it manually.

2. Some vibration mode missing like "on call connected" or disconnected.

3. App lock

Thanks again for your great work and I know but I will wait hopefully for Gamespace :)
[Nothing Phone 2] mat226:
I flashed the rom and it's awesome, the performance and battery both together working perfect. I just need more customization like crDroid roms.

thanks for the job

-edit

just one thing, the Auto brightness is not working perfect for me too.

[Nothing Phone 2] AlbertoDR:
I'm having issues and my phone is weirdly stuck not being able to boot system no matter what.

I was on 2.5.2, booted to fastboot and did fastboot update something.image.zip and formatted.

The installation ended but no system booted and now no matter what I do I can't boot to system not even if I try to flash stock. Everything I do keeps on sending me back to recovery.

(I dont have a windows computer which only complicate things)

Do you have any suggestion on why this could happen?

edit. after around 5 hours of tinkering i managed to finally boot into some os - and that's crdroid. But flashing SomethingOS the same thing happens, flashing finishes but phone just reboots to fastboot.

I would love to use SomethingOS instead of crDroid so if you have ideas I'm all hear, thank you
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Does it reboot into fastbootd ?

If it does, then the flash isn't finished, it should reboot to the rom itself at the end

Else, 2.5.2 fw may be a bit outdated

It's difficult to know without more details

Which recovery were you stuck on ? AOSPA ? Nothing's one ?

I'm happy you got a ROM booting, but if you want, we can discuss and find a solution on telegram (it will be then easier to debug this than with XDA posts)

Also latest OrangeFox recovery can flash latest SomethingOS without issues (not the fastboot version ofc)
[Nothing Phone 2] AlbertoDR:
I'll try once again to boot crdroid and once it's setup I'll contact on Telegram.

To answer your questions, the whole issue started because I could not get off of 2.5.2. I'e been stuck there since it got released and kept getting issues trying to update, no method managed to work.

It boots in the normal fastboot mode but it's weird because the installation seemingly finishes.

I was initially stuck on stock recovery, but while trying to get out of this situation the same exact thing happened with OF.. weird issue.

I come from a OnePlus 6 and I find it absolutely crazy the amount of issues I've had to even just root. One of the reasons I chose this phone is because I expected it to be easily or somewhat easily modded.. heck I had no idea
[Nothing Phone 2] AlbertoDR:
The non-fastboot version would be the one ending with just .zip (and not img.zip right?)

If i had issues with the fastboot installation, could OF work better?

The installation with crDroid worked great: flash boot, vendor, recovery, and then sideload the rom. Would something similar be applicable?
[Nothing Phone 2] DylanAkp:
Exactly !

Yes you can do something similar, you just have to extract then vendor, boot etc from the fastboot version you already have (or try directly ofox, as you wish)
[Nothing Phone 2] AlbertoDR:
Do you think it could make a difference to install using these two methods or would it probably be the same?

I'm really liking crd a lot but the lack of device integrity and cts plus the reverse charging is making me reconsider unfortunately.

And last mandatory thing.. thank you a lot for the support and for the amazing work you put on these roms.

Cheers
