I lost 6% (77% to 71%) over 7h of sleep last night, the phone was in airplane mode!

I just disabled location as well as Wifi and BT scanning, which were enabled on day 1, I will see if they were the culprit. I have put most of my apps to auto optimize.

Meanwhile here's my last stats before the new settings
[OnePlus 12] avid_droid:
I'll take one when I charge at night and send to you.
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
Here before doing full charging, is this normal? Will it get better over future battery cycles?
[OnePlus 12] TENlll423:
I agree the notification bar remaining small is definitely ridiculous... The battery definitely improved for me...
[OnePlus 12] TENlll423:
My favorite setup with a OnePlus device was my OnePlus 9 pro with evolution x which was based on Pixel... Definitely a match made in heaven...
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
Looks like AOD could be the culprit, when I disable it the weird battery drain stopped down, as soon as I enable it the drain comes back.

I thought that 4 years later Oneplus had fixed it, but apparently not.
[OnePlus 12] avid_droid:
Yeah I never use AOD. That might be your culprit.
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
Another thing I found out draining the battery is the "eye comfort" if set to smart. It will consently change the white balance of the screen.

Since I turned it off I have a great battery life, better than my previous s23u and with AOD active!
[OnePlus 12] RussianBear:
interesting. mine is set to smart but i haven't noticed any crazy drains. will keep an eye (no pun intended) on it.
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
I am finally pleased by the battery.

It's better than both my previous s23u and pixel 8 pro.

In another note, is it "sensible" to third party usb cables? The one I have in my car let it use Android Auto without problems but once in a while it won't charge.

I guess I will have to buy a red cable for my car
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
Actually, you don't have to. You can set any dpi you want from developer settings, without rooting. Regarding to advantages/disadvantages. I think the only Pixel advantage is stock, not modified Android, always up to date.
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
Rooted my 12 yesterday

Now I can finally make the statubar larger thanks to Oneplus Customiser root app

I hope they will be able to do the same for the AOD, the one of the Pixel is 4x bigger lol

I don't like ColorOS ui. I wish I could use stock Android from Google. That's the only reason to think about Pixel phones. Other than that, I see no benefits.

What app is this? I'd like to use it on my OP9P.
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
It's Oxygen Customiser, they have a telegram channel
[OnePlus 12] nabril15:
thanks for the quick reply.

I looked at screenshots in the Github, and I see the usual status bar tweaks of clock position and date, color, but not an option to make it bigger. Am I wrong?
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
You can change the clock and battery size, it will stretch the rest of the statusbar.

Btw this app maker is working on custom AOD for the next version, crossfingers he will add an option to enlarge the stock AOD
[OnePlus 12] nabril15:
Thanks again veg

I installed Lsposed in magisk and rebooted, but I don't see the lsposed manager in order to enable the optimiser app within it.

Did I miss a step?

I appreciate your help.
[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
It's hiding in the notification panel
[OnePlus 12] nabril15:
Ha, indeed it was.

Do I need to reboot after making a change in the optimiser app? Or should the changes be visible immediately?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Simon.Logan:
Hello Everyone,

I have recently become a member of your excellent forum after browsing and learning for many months as a guest.

I have a small question to ask, I have tried looking everywhere else in the relevant locations to see if it has been raised, but with no success.

It's simply this - I have a Polaris running TTN7, properly installed, running very well indeed.

But, if I try to use any of the TomTom services on the menu - i.e Weather, TomTom Buddies, Safety Cameras etc... I get the message in the top right hand corner that says 'BlueTooth has been disabled'

I have tried every tweak, reboot and re-install that I can manage, but it's still there.

I know all the TomTom services do work on it, as when I first installed TTN7 to the device, the BlueTooth was set to ON and everything worked fine.

The problem only occurred when I launched TTN whilst the BlueTooth was set to OFF.

Any help would be very gratefully received,

With Thanks,

Simon Logan
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Simon.Logan:
Problem Resolved. Solution posted to assist others.

I have solved this particular problem.

If you have difficulty updating your maps via the MapShare update service, you might be tempted to update another TomTom unit with exactly the same version Map (e.g GO910 or GO 510) and then copy across to your PDA's map the following 4 relevant files;

MapServerPatch.dat

MapUserPatch.dat

ServerLineIndex.dat

ServerNameIndex.dat

If you do this it will generate the error originally described.

So, always best to update your map by getting MapShare working correctly on your Polaris instead of copying what seem to be identical files across.

Hope that this assists someone out there.

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The command

might not be the most effective for Nubia devices. There have been discussions about alternative commands for Nubia phones on forums like here at XDA (https://xdaforums.com/t/help-cant-get-rid-of-the-vpn-icon.4669760/post-89485881).

Nice guide. Straight forward enough.

Terrible device though. Definitely the poor man's option. I got mine from 1wireless as a sign up for the Government package aka Obama phone. Apparently, the Sim is through T-Mobile and is transferable between T-Mobile devices. So I popped that thing in my OP Nord N200 5G. However, I made a full backup of the firmware before I did.

I shared this in another thread, and I might as well share it here.

This dump also works on non-Ultra model, so that leads me to believe the same method can be applied to Ultra.

And yes, while it is a poor man's option, it is also a cheap option for a rooted Android 13 device in the least.

If you figure out the right mod combination on Ram management, it may improve the overall speed.

After the step 19:

19. The phone should still be on the fastbootd screen so scroll down to the bottom option and choose power down

The phone just boots to the logo and restarts again, entering a loop where it powers off and then shows the logo again.

Do you have a backup of the firmware? specific for boot_a.img?
[General Topics] octenda:
I flashed the boot_a.img from @Justadudeinspace and performed a factory reset using the recovery. The device boots to the system and displays the welcome screen. However, the touchscreen isn't working. Any ideas on how to fix this? 🤩
[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
You realize I posted a link for the boot_a.img in the initial post right? U need to flash boot_a.img and vbmeta_a. Also, you just need to rename boot_a.bin or boot_a to boot_a.img. simple as that.

You just use adb to flash the boot_a and then power down and use SP Flash Tool to flash the vbmeta_a and you are restored to factory boot.

Right after you flash the boot_a.img the phone does not automatically restart. It would still be in fastboot mode. You have to click power down for it to begin rebooting. If you go to power down option it will power down. You must then use SP Flash Tool to flash the vbmeta for it to properly take.

Make sure to read the instructions clearly and try again

Currently on the HD65 Plus. Current Journey on rooting

I went through the route of obtaining the payload.bin from the OTA System update using LogCat. Unfortunately it was a delta payload and I cant seem to find a way to dump that so now Im here.

I have already flashed the boot_a.img and it went smoothly although on the vbmeta_a.img part. Trying to get into MTK Flashing Mode doesnt seem to work. Using your scatter file didnt seem to work as it complained of a wrong address with the preloader. I did find another post containing another scatter file of the same phone model but then I encountered another error.

Post with other scatter file: https://xdaforums.com/t/vortex-hd65-choice-looking-to-get-root.4656979/

The "OK" prompt you mentioned neither came from the phone or the SP Flash Tool software. Looking it up, I needed to remove the battery and that got it to 100%. Although it didnt finish. Interestingly I got a Error: "STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION" error from the SP Flash tool.

The phone booted up fine with the boot_a.img without flashing the vbmeta but I still dont have root. Im currently stuck

If needed heres the payload.

As of now currently stuck. Im currently on a journey to create a custom recovery for this device. Ive ported them before but this device is a real hassle.

I will be porting OrangeFox Recovery if I do succeed in getting it rooted. I will post the recovery as well here. If anyone would like to provide assistance to my issue it would be greatly appreciated.View attachment 6110831
[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
Yes, this method is for the HD65 not specifically for the plus or choice models but let's see. For starters are you using the exact programs I have listed in this guide, I mean specifically the same version of each item. If not, I first suggest downloading the ones linked above. If you have, may I ask if you have followed each step exactly as described. I mean not copying the patched image by way of MTP as it corrupts that way. I've found it must be done precisely as I've described. One slight corner cut will flaw the process.
[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
What I will do is take screenshots for each step so that everything can be more easily visualized. I'll begin work on it now
[General Topics] cuadra8998:
hi! and I did follow the exact steps. Right now, ive managed to make a dump of the entire emmc using MTKClient. I think this is a good start. (Of course except the Super partition and UserData). Here are my files just incase anyone wants them. Im going to try and bypass the vbmeta using adb with these commands

fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification

(Edit: On second thought idk if I should as this is for a normal vbmeta, not a vbmeta with A/B. I wonder what commands I should use instead.

I will reattempt again using your files in a sec but im going to try this.
[General Topics] cuadra8998:

[General Topics] cuadra8998:
also strangely enough, magisk detects it as a magisk patched boot img already. Must it be a vbmeta issue? ill try flashing it again and finding a way to flash the vbmeta

Im going to try patching boot_b.img maybe thatll work. I have a backup of the original anyways just incase I need to flash the original.
[General Topics] cuadra8998:
Everyone! Update! rooting was a success. Seems for this device you have to patch both boot_a and boot_b. Not sure though, but I now have root access! Will be porting a custom recovery for you all in just a moment. Happy Rooting!!!
[General Topics] cuadra8998:
Alright! So looking into it, its looking like this device has a weird recovery situation. Fastboot and Recovery seem to be merged together in some way if im not mistaken. Will do more digging.
[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
just finished all the screenshots for many steps and will begin editing the initial post steps to include these visuals.
[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
and yes that is one hard part, recovery is compacted across boot img and boot img. I have compiled a device tree on github, but don't know how to use that to build the recovery for twrp, if you want to take a look. the link is: https://github.com/LostOuija/HD65-Tree/tree/master

Hello I am new here and am not sure how to ask a question and located your post about your Vortex HD65 phone. You sound extremely knowledgeable about phones so maybe you can help me by giving me some advice about my issue. I have a Vortex HD65 which froze then shut itself off never to turn on again. When it shut down it had a full charge but the screen had cracked weeks before and when trying to get the back off of it the lcd screen separated from the actual frame a bit. I does not light up when I connect the charger or anything. Here is thing I have messages and photos on that phone that I need for a court date so I need them retrieved from the phone. I took the phone to the repair shop and was told they could not find a new screen for the phone so what can I do to retrieve these items from this phone? Any help is appreciated thank you in advance.
[General Topics] cuadra8998:
Hi! Well, this doesn’t sound like a really good situation. Although what you’re saying is really vague and we can’t really pinpoint the problem from what you said. What you could do though, is connect the phone to a pc and see if it makes a connection sound. It could be that the phone is still alive but the lcd is broken. Unfortunately, android 13 encrypts its data so making a dump of the phone and retrieving its data from that would be unlikely to work. What you can do though, is make a dump of the phone and transfer the complete dump to an existing phone of the same model. What I mean by that is buying a new phone of the same kind and basically cloning the internal memory of the broken one to the new one. That’s if it shows any signs of life of course.
[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
What I would try first, is to attempt any other battery that may fit, even if not meant for a Vortex HD65, try any random battery that can fit in the pins. If the battery works on another device but not on the vortex then it can be the screen or a fried motherboard. Sometimes the batteries can just falter, I've revived old phones with other batteries not designed for the target device. Let us know if you try that. I have a few tricks I can guide you through if the battery is not the issue.
[General Topics] flutterbyeme1333:
I have looked thru my old phones which is only a few and I don't have any batteries that are interchangeable unfortunately. I don't know much about the inner workings of any phone I am just trying anything as long as it doesn't delete or factory reset the phone. I do know when I plugged the phone into my laptop via the usb cable it was locating it but it couldn't connect to it all it did was flash that to could very well be an issue on my part. I am desperate I have to get those messages and stuff off that phone. Now the manager at the cellphone repair store can not find any parts for my Vortex HD65 phone to even attempt a repair. So my thought is I did not have a SD memory card in the phone so the messages, photos, videos and files would store to the phone directly right? Now where exactly do they save to? Is it possible to safely remove that part of my broken phone and try to locate a new Vortex HD65 phone remove the part and replace it with the part from my broken phone would that work? I have attempted to purchase 2 new Vortex HD65 phones online which didn't turn out so well the first seller did not ship the phone to me and the second seller was advertising the right phone but when I recieved the phone it was a Vortex HD65 Choice phone so I had to send it back to them and I am still trying to locate one. You said you have some tricks you can guide me through I am all ears anything to retrieve the important stuff from the phone please.
[General Topics] flutterbyeme1333:
Hello thank you for responding to my post. I did connect my phone to my laptop but I did not hear a connection sound. What did happen though was in the printers & devices screen a new device would flash on and off repeatedly but it would not connect. I'm not very technically savvy so please excuse me for asking how you clone the internal memory of a phone and transfer it to the new phone? Would cloning the broken phone and transferring it to the new phone put every message, photo, video and file on the new phone and would it also transfer whatever caused it to break in the first place breaking the new phone in the same way?

GSI's are different from Custom Roms in the way they are installed. Custom Roms come with their own built in Custom Recovery, and the Custom Rom is then installed through the accompanied Custom Recovery. GSI's are simply installed through the PC using Platform-Tools (adb and fastboot) without the need for a Custom Recovery.

Custom Roms have more leeway in the realm of selecting options like GAPPS (Google Apps). As where GSI's are precompiled with everything in a single file. GSI's are much easier to install but not all may work, and the user may need to go through the process of trial and error to find what they are looking for. Also, Rooting is a much easier process from a Custom Recovery.

Here’s my suggestion Using Magisk.

Find and follow instructions specific to your device model to unlock the bootloader.

Download TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for your Vortex HD65.

Use the fastboot command to flash TWRP.

Download the latest Magisk zip file.

Boot into TWRP recovery mode, install the Magisk zip file, and then reboot your device.

Use Magisk Manager App to check if the root was successful.

This should help you root your Vortex HD65 safely. Just be careful and follow each step closely to avoid any problems.
[General Topics] dio3000:
Hello, the guide was very good. But in the end I didn't get root on my cell phone. At the beginning when it is in "bootloader mode..." I did not get communication with the PC, I realized that it did not recognize the device, it only said "Android" in "Device Manager" and I could not find the drives. In fastboot and in other states it did recognize the phone.

That machine was with Windows 11, so I switched to another machine with Windows 10 and it was the same. Finally, on that same machine, they changed to Linux and there it was recognized without any problem and I was able to do the entire guide. Your images came out the same as mine so I guess everything went well,

but in the end when I enter Magisk I don't get any "Requires Additional Setup" message and in Installed it says N/A everything else is the same as your image.
