[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] musex:
Hi everyone

so I'm new to this world, so I'm not really sure where to go. I previously tinkered with installing non original systems on another older phone (moto g3), but not this one.

I have this great phone still standing even today after all these years, battery still going strong. Anyway the Android version is quite outdated by today's standards, and I'm wondering if I should install some new version.

I'd go for the original one but I'm not sure which one to pick but most of all, will everything work as intended? I've read online that sometimes things won't work correctly and that's a compromise I'm not willing to take. Still all the info online is quite confusing for a noob like me. Also I wouldn't want to install something that drains my battery like it happened on a previous phone.

Do you think it's a good idea? Which version would you recommend or how should I start into choosing one? I'd rather prefer an older Android version but with everything working.

Sorry if I'm violating some rules, in that case I'll ask the mods to remove this.

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] mia.backkind:
isnt the question what u need? for instance i dont use NFC so i dont mind if its working or not. im currently running leaOS 20 (A13) and didnt face any bug (except NFC what i cant test out) since a week (or two).

your post is so "freely" that i dont know how to answer it without knowing what u really want? :)
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] musex:
And what about all the other things? I don't use NFC either, but what about the battery? Also do you think it's worth it?

[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] Joaosacramento:
Hello all.

I have a Redmi Note 11s 5G (not rooted) and I'm running Kali Nethunter through Termux.

I did the full installation of Kali, started as root with

nh -r

and I ran the command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

However when I try to scan bluetooth devices with:

hcitool scan

I receive an error message saying "Device is not available: Permission denied".

If I run one of the following commands I always get the message "Can't open HCI socket.: Permission denied":

hciconfig
sudo hciconfig
su -c hcicongif

Does anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Yesterday, while watching TV through FireTV it suddently restarted and got frozen into recovery mode. Once there, no remote keys worked.

View attachment 6093296

Every time FireTV is restarted it boots into the previous recovery manager.

From there I'm able to press alt + print scrn + I or ctrl + alt + win menu + prnt scrn + I and both key combination do the same, which is to trigger the Fastboot mode and FireTV keeps booting in Fastboot mode forever.

View attachment 6093298

Any tip about what I could do?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
It should be

Alt + Print Screen + C

Depending on your keyboard you might have to press

Fn + Print Screen + Alt + C
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Thank you so much man. Worked like a charm!

BTW, do you know where could I get i list of usefull shortcuts or key combinations like this one?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
No problem. I've never come across any list like that. Recovery options are really limited
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
OMG,

Now, still, each time I restart it boot into recovery boot menu and i must plug the keyboard in and press alt + prnt scrn + i

Any tip or idea about how to fix this?

I already applied the pending update.

Thank you so much in advanced.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
Booting into that recovery menu is caused by some combination of errors in FireOS. Sometimes the combination of errors that triggers recovery is just a fluke. In other cases there really is something going wrong in FireOS.

The easiest way to deal with it is to boot into FireOS and do a factory reset to clear out any bad data.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Factory reset will give me a lot of work to get again where I'm at. But, if there's no other way I'll have to go over there. BTW, the factory reset would solve the recovery boot loop 100% sure?

Hmmmm

Do you know if I can check any kind of error logs which may give me ideas to try to avoid the factory reset?

Last, any tip to do a full backup? I have 2 usb drive plugged in.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
No not 100% guaranteed, the errors could also be related to failing hardware like the eMMC for example. If that's the case, a factory reset might not help.

You really only have logcat for diagnosis, but I don't know what you'd look for. You'd need root to get more detailed information, and to do a data backup. Rooting options for the Lite stick were all patched after PS7273.

The other option is reboot as seldom as possible and keep using the keyboard to get out of recovery.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Thank you so much for your help. I'll try a factory reset but i have the feeling it won't work.

We'll see.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aminthis:
I recently purchased a Realme GT 5 from China which came with a global ROM, but unfortunately, I'm not receiving OTA updates. While NFC works fine, I've decided to flash the stock ROM, which I've already downloaded. I have a few questions about the process:

Do I need to root my phone, unlock the bootloader, or both to flash the stock ROM?

If I unlock the bootloader, will NFC still work afterwards?

Is it advisable to create a backup of my current global ROM? If so, how can I do this?

What's the best method for flashing? I've come across suggestions to use the QPST Flash Tool for the Realme GT 5

The SW REV is the 5th character from the right, so for example G973USQU9IWH2 is SW Rev 9. You can install the same revision or later, but you cannot downgrade, so if your rev is 6, you can install 6, 7, 8 etc but you cannot install 5.

[XPERIA X1 General] Oggy972:
Hi everybody !

It's my first post ! So Happy New Year ^^

So !

My problem... my x1 takes a lot of time to boot !

40s for the Sony Ericsson Boot screen

45s for Windows Mobile Boot Screen

Then 1minute to load panels ( TF3D ) properly ...

How many times for yours ??

I already have used the Turbo Speed to optimize it, but it was already configure !!

Even if i don't restart the X1i many times... i would like decrease the boot time !!

Have you some tips to do that ?
[XPERIA X1 General] Oggy972:
Hmm,

i'm alone? nobody have got this problem with the boot ???
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Its a slow start with a fatty heart.

When I do a hard reset, it wipes memory and takes the X1 back to when you first bought it, and you notice allot of things.

Firstly programs that insatll to the windows folder, like Touch 3D add huge quantities of files to that folder.

On a fresh X1, if you use file explorer and try to look at the windows folder it takes 1-2 seconds for the files to display, with T3D installed it can take an eternity. Its my view of Touch 3D that beauty comes at price, and you are asking yourself is it a price worth paying.

Me I dont use it, it doesnt add any real functionality to the X1, I am grate for spins offs like the You Tube cab, which can be used on its own and installed to memory card, not bloating the all important windows folder, which is the very heart of your X1.

Its a slow start with a fatty heart.
[XPERIA X1 General] Oggy972:
Okay, i understood your point of view about TF3D.

I will try to uninstall it and test the boot. Maybe it will be better.

But, I liiiiike the wheather tab and the music tab... i think it's more simple to switch tab than swith panel witl the walkman panel ! Seen ?

But i'm okay ...
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Exactly my case, I don't use 3D just because it doesn't really change it's functionality. And panels look better.

Me too, it's not available for any of my devices, can you share the APK to sideload it?.

There's no make any sense if you ask for feedback and the app it's not available for everyone. I'm pretty sure that the mostly of feedback you'll receive will be related about app availability.

Good evening, Sir, and thanks very much.

Affirmative, now it's also available for our devices.

The pro version will have an open in app feature. I haven't decided if it will be an internal webview or if it will be a scraped content type thing for offline use. Rest assured that feature in on the road map.
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
So in future there will be free version app and paid pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
Yes the plan is to always have a completely free version. Pro Version will be a 1 time paid app fee not a subscription or anything and the pro version will be updated more often and be where new features find their way first. Free version will get features a little later and be updated a little less frequently.

Current Pro features are:

1) Weather

2) Widgets (Dashboard, Top News, Weather)

3) More layout options (Grids)

4) Accent color can be themed

5) More options for custom feeds. (Reddit, Telegram, YouTube Channels, Topics)

6) Internal Article Viewer

and more are in the works.

[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
Added to the list. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
I just pushed an update to the store with OPML import functionality. I’ll update the thread once it’s available.
[Android Apps and Games] rgrapow:
Hi,

I see that OPML import it's already published on PS, but when I try to import this file (attached) exported from Feedly it shows this message:

Importing OPML

Error: xmlUrl must not be null

I opened the XML file and I don't see any "xmlUrl" tag with null or an empty value.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
OK I see. There are sub-outline objects. I'll add support for that.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
Just pushed an update that will handle that opml. I will say that a couple of those feeds are not working. I see 14 total in there and only 12 seem to work, but my importer will filter those out.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
Also added Android Police to the tech feeds list. Should show up in everyone feeds in the next few days.

Let me know if you all have any more recommended feeds I should add by default.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
Another heads up. When you import with OPML there won't be any categories associated with the feeds. You can go into the Source View and long press the Source Name or use the 3 dots menu to add categories to get the feeds articles to show in the headlines page. I'll be adding a Stringer back up option that will save all the categories along with other app settings down the road.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephen.k.spear:
I just pushed an update to open Local News up to countries outside the US. I don't think it was available to everyone.

hi there and Happy new year..

I have found this forum and i am pretty happy for i find it a usefull forum with happy HTC users...

i don't know to much about HTC TYTN - Hermes - what is the best Windows 6...? or ROM ???

thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silentP:
Welcome to the board. You gotta be careful of that question. You have like 30 chefs on here and you're probably going to get flamed for not researching. I guess the best way to decide which ROM is the best is to decide what you want to use your device for. Then start reading. Or you could cook your own. Before I started cooking, I used JoshKoss, CRC, Mick Smith's. They are all good. Just read my friend.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Imyman:
lol...yes indeed. Your question is almost begging to be flamed. ;) Though you may also get lucky and get away with it :D Like the above poster said there isn't anything like a specific 'best' ROM for a phone. Its a personal preference. The wiki is an excellent place for you to get started on getting to understand everything you need to know about you phone. Use the search option for any question you have. Your bound to find relevant results on almost any type of search. Happy reading and welcome to the board.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crossroads777:
sorry guys,, newbees fault...

after i got the first answer i have found teh WIKI.. no bad intentions here...

I meet many designers and has magic on their hands (and HD's full of tricks on photoshop's projects!) well if you want to start... you can talk with joshkoss, CRC, abuzalsa and many others... cause at this time they are trying to change some icons in .PNG and .ICO full glossy pics maybe 32 x 32 or less like the Notification Icons in upper bar... so talk to him about your skills maybe you can give us new Icons or something... read about the images on the ROMS... what extension, or what kind, sizes, and wheigts...

Hope you can find your work here.

Hi there,

Sorry if this has already been addressed elsewhere (I have tried to check before posting this,) but is it possible to go from the Indian firmware version to EU?

If so, how would I go about doing this?

It seems to have got a lot harder to flash a new Android build since I last attempted this about 5 years ago, or maybe I'm just missing something really obvious.

Thanks a lot in advance!

In response to my own question...

YES! This CAN be done.

I used the truly excellent guide from dekefake here: https://xdaforums.com/t/op11-edl-downloadtool-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos-coloros.4607995/

and flashed CPH2449(EU) Android 13 EDL firmware over the CPH2447(IN) Android 14 variant that I was running.

It took a while, but so far so good, OTA updates working perfectly.

All the best!
