HI

i have a Android Device

This is what i run

LineageOS 21 Android TV (Android 14)

on Raspberry Pi 5

I have a small problem with video streaming using Kodi , spesely when I tries to view a DRM protected video.

problem > InputstreamHelper does not offer you the option to install widevine.

problem > im not beable to install widevine.

i tried to install widevine with the option install from ZIP File

but this does not work either

this is the file , i tried

https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chr...vel_recovery_stable-channel_fievel-mp.bin.zip

this is what i tried

i tried to get information on the Kodi Forum but but they no longer know

get information on github.com

several search done on google regarding problem with widevine

found nothing related to the problem with widevine that I have.

below is more information

That means that Inputstream Helper has detected your O.S. as Android. Since Widevide CDM is a google product it is shipped with Android by default and InputstreamHelper does not offer you the option to install widevine.

However you appear to run Lineage, which is based on the Android Open source Project (AOP), but widevine is not open source.

what can I do when you read the above

to getting Widevide is installed.

read more

So, as I mentioned before, check with Lineage if the ship widevine, or whether there is a way to install it - you won't be the first who tries to view a DRM protected video on Lineage. Since Lineage for Raspbery pi does not appear to be an official Lineage distro,

can Somone tell me where I can refer/go to solve this problem

cause I'm struggling with it.

thank you very much for your time

I have logging here , and I also found something

error : AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: CWVCdmAdapterA: Unable to initialize MediaDrm

error : AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: OpenDRMSystem failed

can this may cause a problem with installing widevine.

Hi guys, I am new to this, how do I start a thread please??
[General Questions and Answers] IAmTheYikes:
Hi guy's i have a question to ask. I have an Acer iconia b3-A30. I'm trying to connect it to my windows 10 laptop but i can't seem to find the right driver. I've tried the google usb driver, The acer MTK driver and the Qualcom driver but none of them work. The device manager is showing it up as as "Android" and the hardware I.D is USB\VID_0502&PID_38D3&REV_0100

I know it's an older tablet so i won't be overly surprised if you guys can't help, just thought i'd throw it out.

Having said that any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Guys, my name is Klasie Basson, Iam a retired It specialist and like to fiddle with any technical thing and this has landed me in various spots. Iam from south Africa. In desoaration with a problem on my Mobile phone I landed with this forum.

I did some ROM , ie One UI 6.1 and One UI 5.1 changes, with TWRP and Odin and slowly start to understand this area.
[Introductions] Klasieb:
I have a Galaxy S10+ which I had to downgrade from One UI 5.1 Android 13 for various personal reasons to stock firmware, upon doing so I discovered that I can only downgrade to firmware with bit/sw ref H and I found such firmware on SanFw , CSC-Mexico, language Espanol, everything went well with Odin and I had to change my language to English US.

The only bat part is that I got stuck with WIFI Calling in settings - connections as "Llamada VoWifi" - this brings me to my question - Is there anybody who can assist me of have any suggestions as how to change this wording to proper descriptive english please
[Introductions] EllieCat:
You can use Google Translate (or the translator of your liking)
[Introductions] Klasieb:
Hi EllieCat, the problem is within the wording of the version I have downloaded, everything was translated in the beginning when I started the setup of my "New Phone" where i selected uk english, this phrase did not translate to english and stand out among the options for connections, my Connection options in the Settings of the phone reads as follows from the top: Wi-Fi, Llamada VoWiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and contactless payments, etc etc....

Thanks for your feedback and I have to mention that Google translate brought it to my attention that the actual wording for this is: WiFi Calling.
[General Questions and Answers] keycase12:
hi,

I recently bought a device that was advertised as a "Reno10 Pro+" with a Snapdragon 8 Gen2 on AliExpress, but it turned out to be a clone. According to CPU-Z, the device has the following specifications:

Model: Reno10 Pro+ (Welcome)

CPU: ARM Cortex-A7 1.8 GHz (8 cores)

GPU: Mali-T820

RAM: 16GB

Internal Storage: 1024GB

Screen: 6.8 inches, 2520x3088 pixels

I'm facing issues with connectivity (Wi-Fi and mobile data) and the performance is slow. I would like to install a custom ROM to improve performance and functionality.

Could anyone provide a step-by-step guide or recommend compatible ROMs for this type of device? Any advice on unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery would also be appreciated.

CPU-Z screenshots for reference:

Anyone know how to extand the ringtone ring from 20 sec to 1 minute or unlimited.:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silentP:
The ring stops as soon as you or your voicemail picks up. You could record one that would last a minute when played as a wav, but it would be useless as a ringtone.

Go to settings>personel>phone>call forwarding. You can change the call forwarding from 20 secs to 30, as much as it allows...

You don't say what stops your phone from ringing. It may be network specific for you but my phone rings for around 45 secs before there is a network "busy" tone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] beastfellow:
Its world standard to ring the bell for specific seconds. It will not ring for complete minute.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ericcyc8:
just check with some friends again, found few of them the ringtone can stand for 2 minute before the busy..tone and they claim that they didn't do any setting on phone, so guess it was the network service provider preset.

Hi, I made boot animations from pictures in artstation

can i post them

And what about a picture of a game in epic games?

Is it then allowed to publish it/ways to know what can and cannot be published?

And also about sending a video of the boot animation playing (when you also see the phone itself)

without the boot animation file?

Troubleshooting​

Serial issues

In my experience, ariel is quite finicky when it comes to staying in Preloader mode. Should you run into serial-related issues, the most common errors I've seen so far include communication timeouts and failed handshakes when attempting the second route:

could not open port /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyACM0'
device reports readiness to read but returned no data
Input/Output Error

If you experience these, make sure to be patient, as it has sometimes taken me up to 30 attempts to get the script to work. Also try to use USB 2.0 ports instead of USB 3.0 ports, as serial communication tends to be more stable with the former.

Finally, to make the process easier, run the bootrom script in a continuous loop so that it automatically retries whenever it fails. You can use something like until sudo ./bootrom-step.sh; [ $? -ne 1 ]; do :; done.

If none of these helps you, try to handshake the device with the script from the old unbrick thread and then proceed with sudo ./bootrom-step.sh -s --port /dev/ttyACM0. This will skip the handshake and will pick up the device directly from the specified port. Note that if you're using MacOS the port might be different.

Facing bootlops

​

If you have lost TWRP access and the currently installed ROM no longer boots, you can attempt to force the device into hacked fastboot mode. To do this, force a shutdown, connect the device to your PC, and hold the power button for 5 seconds as soon as you see the Amazon logo.

Once the device boots into hacked fastboot mode, you can execute sudo ./fastboot-step.sh to restore TWRP. If this does not work whatsoever, you might need to resort to the unbrick method detailed in the first post (OP).

If your device enters a boot loop after performing a basic action such as rebooting, powering off, or rebooting to recovery, it may be due to a rare but existent bug akin to a race condition in the exploit.

In such a case, force a shutdown by pressing the power button for 30 seconds. Likewise, if you were attempting a normal reboot or boot, try booting to recovery, and if you were trying to boot to recovery, attempt a normal boot instead.

^ This has been fixed on amonet-ariel-v1.1.zip, please update by flashing this ZIP with TWRP.

GPT issues

If you encounter GPT issues during the unlock process, such as messages asking what's wrong with your GPT?, you can attempt to fix your GPT by running the appropriate gpt-fix script. There are two different scripts: one for 8GB variants and another for 16GB variants. Select and run the correct script for your model, either gpt-fix-16G.sh or gpt-fix-8G.sh.​

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Rortiz2:
That's odd. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds until the screen completely powers off. Then, press the volume up and power buttons to boot into TWRP. Once in TWRP, navigate to the reboot option and perform a normal reboot.​

I flashed the new version of amonet while I did not experience any problem with ver. 1.0.

Thank you for the update.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Excellent effort, and results!

I flashed v1.1 via TWRP on my sole surviving HD7 - all smooth.

I also did Linux/amonet of my permanently bootlooping HD7 which I could not fix before with aftvtools2.

It now boots propertly into FireOS but very laggy. It turns out cpu1 is bust, so any time kernel tries to hotplug it - there is a crash and delay. On the other hand, rebooting to recovery allows it to work for 30-60 seconds, then the Fire crash reboots to system.
[Android TV General] BlekBomor:
Hello, I am trying to unlock an ooredoo android STB but the problem is that they don't allow you to use internet on the device unless you buy the ooredoo network subscription, i am trying to download another firmware or rom so that i can bypass these internet restrictions but they sure did think of everything, they have locked the:

USB port (keyboard and mouse work, but usb flash drive does not pick up)

Ethernet

Network (cant use adb connect because it doesnt allow to connect to wifi)

i am thinking that there might be a keyboard combination that upon pressing will automatically reboot the device to bootloader or something i think i saw it somewhere but i forgot, this would be useful because the device accepts keyboard input. but other than that this device is completely locked up and useless for now.

here is an image of it's internals:

hey guys, im about to root my phone and thinking of installing a custom rom later.

i heard of crDroid and Pixel Experience, are they good?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AndrésTecno:
If we talk about Pixel Experience, they stopped having support for a long time. I do not advise you to install it.

And if we talk about crDroid (ROM that I have installed for a long time), it has a problem with idle energy consumption (which has already been corrected in the source code, but they haven't updated the ROM yet).

...On the other hand, I don't know how they deal with the "Play Integrity" issue (because I don't use Google services, so I didn't install Gapps).

Anyway. Of the two ROMs, the one that will work best in the long term is crDroid.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a user of Ottocast P3 Carplay dongle. It's based on custom Android 12 build and surprisingly it doesn't have Security options under Settings. However, when I was modifying some other Settings options (don't remember what) I was asked to set a PIN/Password or Pattern. I set a PIN and now I see nowhere and option to change it.

Do you know how to manually trigger PIN change setting considering 'Security' category is visible in Settings?

[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
First, an introduction. I'm 83 and I'm neither a pixel-peeper nor an engineer. I've enjoyed photography since I bought a Yashica-Mat in 1962. I came late to cell phones because I'm mostly deaf but about three years ago I decided to quit lugging cameras and various lens around and take my photos with a cell phone. I thought it would be a temporary experiment but it hasn't ended.

View attachment 6120255

I took this photo in 1921 and I still like it. I got my Xiaomi 14 Ultra on June 20th and the photography kit on June 29th. I think the cameras on the 14 Ultra are great, I don't like any heavy skin and that would include HyperOS. My idea of an ideal wall paper is a solid black screen. The phone itself is as nice as I would expect for the price. I'm a bit leery of Dragon Glass so I have glass covers on both the screen and the camera cover. I generally like the camera interface but I wish the engineers who think white icons on the photo are appropriate should be blinded. If I'm shoot a light-colored photo the icons disappear. One I use a lot, the EV option, moves between the Photo Mode and Pro Mode. Overall, I'm happy with the Ultra 14.

The Photography Kit was a disappointment until this morning. I liked the filter adapter right off because it added protection to the glass over the cameras. I carry my phone in a belt holster and I haven't actually found a holster that accommodates the phone with the grip. I can get it in but the cover doesn't close. This morning I went on a photo jaunt with my dog. I had the phone in my hand most of the time and I came to enjoy the grip. It doesn't help that it's clearly for a right-handed person and I'm one of the odd 10% who aren't. For everyday use, the grip will stay home but if I'm visiting an archeological site or a museum the grip will be on the phone. Also, as I'm not an engineer I might be wrong but the grip doesn't seem to fast charge.

So far, so good.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] Michael_Frencken:
The grip does not have to be charged anyway, it will then get the juice from the camera battery and will work without any problems. So no need to charge it. But it will give the camera battery a little more runtime when full charged.

I've used the grip a few times in a botanical garden as well while on a hiking trip, but not for everyday carry. For that specific use, lots of photos, the grip is marvelous. Most of the time I use the phone with a Nillkin case with lens protection, where the lens cap can be used as an additional "grip"
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
Okay, I like the Xiaomi cameras. The camera interface truly sucks. I can rarely see the white icons on the screen. The foreground in the shots I take are too light for the white icons to stand out. It doesn't help that on the Photo Mode EV is on the far right and in Pro Mode it's on the far left. Perhaps one team worked on Photo Mode and another team worked on Pro Mode and they never talked to each other. It would have been nice it the white icons were put on a black background instead of on the photograph.

I would like to have the various modes above the options. I often inadvertently tap a mode, especially using the grip, and change from Pro Mode to Video Mode without noticing or from Phone Mode to Portrait Mode with noticing.

I'm a long way from operating the interface without studying it but I suppose it will come.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
When I go out I usually have my dog with me on a leash and I carry a cane for a variety of reasons. I've never carried a phone in my pockets because that's where my wallet, money clip, pocket knife, coins, and miscellaneous stuff goes. I used a horizontal holster on my belt. I had one that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra would fit into and I could squeeze it in with the grip on but then the holster wouldn't close. I just bought one that take the 14 Ultra with the grip. It's a holster designed for two cell phones. It works fine and the holster closes and fastens. If you're interested, here's what I bought.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQXD9KCT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It held my phone with the grip and the camera module had a polarizing filter and a lens cap on it. It slid in and out easily in the holster.

[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
I went to https://en.xiaomitoday.it/update-xiaomi-miui-camera-app.html but that gave me bad information. If you do a search for "Xiaomi camera app" or "Xiaomi HyperOS camera app" you'll find other sources such as XDA APKs, and Xiaomi gives no information on what each APK is for, and other sites with interesting tips.
