so hows the rom experience so far?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
So my experience so far is as follows:

The good:

- it's a bit faster compared to both builds of EvoX

- The battery life is a bit better(≈11%/h EvoX vs. 8.3%/h SomOs)

- The default launcher is lawnchair which has more customisation compared to EvoX

- the Rom has a lot of unique features like Ad block, increased polling rate, and spoofing.

- Adaptive Brightness works well (fyi it doesn't work properly in EvoX)

Problems:

-T̶h̶e̶m̶e̶d̶ i̶c̶o̶n̶s̶ o̶n̶ l̶a̶u̶n̶c̶h̶e̶r̶ d̶o̶n̶'t̶ w̶o̶r̶k̶ p̶r̶o̶p̶e̶r̶l̶y̶(̶c̶a̶n̶'t̶ s̶e̶t̶ t̶h̶e̶m̶ o̶n̶l̶y̶ f̶o̶r̶ h̶o̶m̶e̶ s̶c̶r̶e̶e̶n̶ a̶l̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ i̶t̶'s̶ a̶n̶ o̶p̶t̶i̶o̶n̶)̶

-Pressing backspace in the app drawer causes the keyboard to close(when you delete the word)

-i̶n̶t̶e̶g̶r̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ p̶l̶a̶y̶ i̶n̶t̶e̶g̶r̶i̶t̶y̶ f̶i̶x̶ d̶i̶d̶n̶'t̶ w̶o̶r̶k̶ f̶o̶r̶ m̶e̶, b̶u̶t̶ I̶ h̶a̶v̶e̶ m̶a̶g̶i̶s̶k̶ s̶o̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶'v̶e̶ b̶e̶e̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ r̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶

Missing features/suggestions:

- N̶o̶ G̶e̶m̶i̶n̶i̶

- No circle to search

- can't copy directly from recents

- LHDC audio Codec would be much appreciated

-Leica Camera

-play integrity strong fix

Bugs:

-Audio sometimes only plays through Bluetooth device, thats not connected(restarting fixes it)

-"Edit home screen" doesn't work(maybe that it's a feature that's not implemented yet)

-screen turns off randomly

-aptx adaptive defaults to mono instead of stereo

-auto-brightness buggy in low light conditions.

Edit: attached some screenshots

2nd. Edit: i added a collection of the bugs I/the community has encountered

Thanks for the informations! It's a always useful to read user experience of a rom!
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DylanAkp:
Hey, Founder of SomethingOS here, thank you for your feedback !

First, with Play Integrity Updater, due to Google bans and the new PlayIntegrityFix module, it seems that my implementation doesn't work anymore sadly

Themed icons is probably due to LawnIcons not being installed by default, you can find it in Lawnchair official website

For Gemini, everything is setup to be working, you can install Gemini manually, the goal is to not ship too much apps by default

For others, I will check on my side and see what I can do

What do you mean by "PayPal Donation doesn't work" ?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
Thanks for replying,

First of all I already have lawnicons installed. The problem is that the option to set themed icons for ONLY the home screen doesn't work.(Might be a problem with with lawnchair itself)

I will try to install Gemini tho, thanks for the suggestion.

Lastly Paypal says that donating doesn't work at the moment(see attachment)

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DylanAkp:
Sadly not for 1.2, I think Google changed a few things and I need to figure out for 1.3 release

Seems to be a PayPal issue, I don't have any :/

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] tazmako:
what custom rom have LHDC or everyrom still not have LHDC
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
None of the Roms have LHDC as far as I'm aware. There's a program called Exta2dp that adds support for LHDC on aosp and clo roms, but it doesn't work on Paranoid or it's forks(SomethingOs).
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
Is it feasible/is there any chance that LHDC will be implemented in SomethingOs?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Jamisonlu:
SomethingOS 1.2 is pretty good. But there are several things could be improved:

1. Play integrity fail. (Google wallet)

2. Lack of advanced reboot option customization.

3. Power key screen shot.

4. Leica camera ( it would be great if SomethingOS have built in Leica)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] tazmako:
that sad i buy one plus bud 3 it only support LHDC
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
You could try arrowOS. It's supposedly based on aosp so ExtA2DP should work on it.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Blank504050:
I don't remember any ArrowOS release for marble
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
Oh yeah sorry, i meant AwakenOS.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] anuragrawat781:
Well working well but after flashing I am unable to boot into twrp. Want to know that the error is only with me or with everyone
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Blank504050:
Did you tick reflash twrp automatically after rom ?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DyingRocket:
You need to reflash TWRP.

(Btw use the specific version as recommended in the paranoid telegram group, otherwise you'll boot loop your device.)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] tazmako:
i have same problem, after flash rom and setup everything i want to flash magisk and click reboot to recovery it bootloop at poco logo.

maybe this problem happens because i not use last orangefox twrp.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lepicrobot:
Whats the difference between this and EvoX? Im new to AOSPA and havent seen new roms
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] anuragrawat781:
Yes I have reflashed it
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] anuragrawat781:
Thank you. Now after reflashing A13 version its working fine
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] anuragrawat781:
Can anyone tell me the antutu score as mine is lower than what is shown in the yt videos.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] anuragrawat781:
Also want to say that the performance is really great comapred to other roms also the features like ad blocking and others are working absolutely fine which shows very less ads in the phone like in youtube and other apps. It will be better that some more features like hiding of QS panel on lock screen and some more will come soon. Also if possible can anyone tell me is there any vanilla version available for the rom.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DylanAkp:
Integrity work on the latest version

power menu may receive some changes in future versions
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Jamisonlu:
Thanks for your great effort. I was wondering if it possible to include Leica camera in the future?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] WckedCode:
Just installed this ROM and gotta say, it's amazing so far, i'm impressed!

Thank you very much and will report if any bug are found!
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DylanAkp:
This has to be seen with the marble maintainer

On SomethingOS side, I allow device-specific apps, like og camera and others, maybe he will implement the Leica Camera in the future
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] GoodyOG:
OP, A bit off topic, but what will you recommend to someone as a starter guide on learning how to build roms?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] DylanAkp:
I would recommend trying ubuntu, following lineage build guide with a already supported device, then try to modify some stuff to see what happens (like overlays for example)

Else, there is the AndroidRomDevelopment Telegram from AlaskaLinuxUser, or IRC chat of LineageOS to get some help

In any case, I guess we all learn differently and I was already a developer before starting my ROM or even before building, so do your own researches and find what's the best way to learn for you

A new update just showed up for me, is it ok to update via OTA and is there a changelog (didn't find it on the oficial website)?

Thank you very much once again for this amazing ROM!

EDIT: found it

- Fixed inconsistent behaviour with Dolby

- Fix default action on Double Tap Fingerprint

- Updated Kernel

- Improved stability and system performance

- Fixed performance issues on games
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] anuragrawat781:
Sir, I loved the project from performance to the features everything is perfect.(Just that initially flashed with wrong version of twrp and faced problems) But I want to ask you that is it possible to have a vanilla build.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Zys2017:
Just wanted to ask! , the power and speed of his charge in use!
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] chaitanyakm:
Not possible for now.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] msnnsm:
I really had a good first impression of rom.

The thing is I'm not really fan of current state of lawnchair with a lot of broken features. Also for some reason I couldn't get monet work. Changing color schemes does nothing.

I would like to try it again in future. I like the way you have approached for additional features. Only few essentials yet it so useful to have them. Also animations in settings app are lovely.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Guguwi:
Is there any bypass charging feature? How about the charging speed?

[Asus ZenFone Max M1 Questions & Answers] firenzmey:
Hello, my Asus Max Pro M1 has gone black screen recently. I don't think it was on empty battery at that moment.

Currently, whenever you charge it, it has a red battery image and not charging icon on it (no 'electricity' icon, I mean). However, the charging indicator lights up - the red LED on the top right corner of the phone.

Power + Volume Down button doesn't help to load.

Tried to leave it on charger for 24h - didn't help.

I'm seeking for any advice and help on such cases.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Chemikill:
The standard fastboot commands aren't working...

https://i.imghippo.com/files/HyyWr1716371350.jpg
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Omar_ahmed-1:
You need unlock key from sony's site.

type:

fastboot oem lock 0x123

Replace 123 with your unlock code(for relocking) BUT WAIT:

THIS CAN LEAD TO HARD BRICK AND I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE...

EDIT:

You cannot relock the bootloader for ANY sony device (sorry for the bad news).

I already know about this. It explains only how to UNLOCK the bootloader not how to RELOCK the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Omar_ahmed-1:
I mean watch the FAQ.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Chemikill:
For what reason? You're saying different things than other users that have claimed it's possible on their device which is the same as mine. I don't understand what your point is?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Omar_ahmed-1:
My point is that locking the bootloader again is useless (You will not restore the specific DRM keys for your device, and you can hard brick it by this.

Please tell me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Chemikill:
I couldn't care less about drm keys. If you would have actually read a few of the posts in the thread I linked to which contradicts what you claim, you would have realized the reason that I need to relock the bootloader is to reset the rollback protection that is currently causing the device to bootloop.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Omar_ahmed-1:
Now I know what is the problem.

Your phone was on android 11 (or newer) firmware and you have flashed (tried to rollback to) android 10 with an unlocked bootloader ( Am I wrong?).

And now you have a bootloop (because of the rollback protection).

Try this(AT YOUR OWN RISK):

1-flash the firmware that was working (I recommend to CHECK TWICE what to flash BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING).

2-Lock the bootloader (try the commands that aren't working).

3-flash the android 10 firmware (I think you have to flash the oldest version).

Tell me if anything happens (and AGAIN):

CHECK TWICE WHAT TO FLASH (FLASHING WRONG FILES MAY CAUSE HARD BRICK!)

Good luck.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Chemikill:
All rom versions that I flashed were android 12. Apparently you can't even flash back to an older version of the same version of android which I didn't know...

The problem I have right now is finding a later version of android 12. I just downloaded every region available on xperifirm over night so I'm hoping that one of these is newer and will work.

Sony's numbering scheme for firmware is illogical.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Omar_ahmed-1:
Can you write the version?

Also, please don't tell me that you can access the recovery or fastboot all of the time.
[FYT Android Head Units] JulupanterSec:
Hello everyone,

I'm very happy with the head unit, using latest iying firmware, but I have encountered some problems so far:

1. I have connected a cable to the L/R sound input, but now I can't find an app or an option to play the sound through this input.

2. I have no problems connecting my phone to the bluetooth, but I tried to connect an ODB2 adapter (to use torque and similar apps), but I can't (devide works perfect on the phone)

3. Any idea how to increse the font and the size of the icons? Some apps like Spotify are difficult to interact with.

Thank you very much in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petar_paker:
Hi,

i have a Lenovo a6000 which i tried to flash with another OS

i installed Twrp and got the ROM for the OS started the flashing process through Twrp

while it was running the battery got disconnected (i wasnt looking at it at that time)

after that the battery swelled and proved to be useless so am stuck with no battery and no OS

lucky i found another battery which kinda connects to it but when i tried adb it didn't show up on the PC

the phone now doesn't show up on PC and is just stuck on penguin logo

so far i read many forums and saw many Youtube videos on this but none of them showed how to fix not showing up on PC

i installed many drivers and tried methods like adb and qfil

but of no luck so finally posting this to get a suitable answer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXx yYy:
Disconnecting the battery during a ROM flash can cause serious issues, and the swollen battery indicates potential hardware damage. Here's what you can try for your Lenovo A6000:

1. Check Connection and Drivers:

Ensure a secure connection using a good quality USB cable and a different USB port on your PC. Reboot your PC.

Download and install the latest Lenovo A6000 drivers from the official Lenovo website. Uninstall and reinstall if you've tried drivers before.

2. Enter Fastboot Mode (if possible):

While the phone displays the penguin logo, try entering fastboot mode. This might differ depending on the phone's state. Here are two common methods:

Method 1: Power off the phone completely. Then, press and hold the Volume Down + Power button simultaneously for a few seconds until you see a new screen (usually a bootloader or fastboot menu).

Method 2: If Method 1 doesn't work, search online for "enter fastboot mode Lenovo A6000" with your specific model number for alternative key combinations.

3. Try ADB in Fastboot Mode (if accessible):

Once in fastboot mode, connect your phone to the PC. Launch a command prompt or terminal and navigate to the ADB installation directory (usually C:\adb on Windows).

Use the command adb devices to see if your phone is detected. If it is, you might be able to use ADB to push files or attempt recovery.

4. Lenovo Rescue and Recovery Software (if applicable):

Lenovo offers a Rescue and Recovery software for some models. Check the Lenovo website for your specific model to see if it's available. This software might help you restore the phone's original OS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petar_paker:
Hi an update

battery no longer working i tried the QFIL method but since no battery i cant go into emergency mode and the phone is stuck in a restart loop

i tried ADB as you said i got it to connect but it says unauthorized and device name is 0123456789 i think it's because of no OS is there any way to get around it

and in device manager it shows up as Qualcomm HS USB

also i am trying to buy a new battery hoping it might solve everything

Hi,

i have a digital cluster in my car which can display the screen from my android car stereo using MHL and this hardware:

Loading

de.aliexpress.com

(USB2HDMI)

The Problem is, while using Carplay or BT-Music the sound will be also transmitted, so i can't hear it in the car speakers. If i play radio, for example, everything is fine.

Anybody an idea what causes this issue?

Carplay is wireless only, can't use Lightning.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yash-:
I have just received my new Wanbo DaVinci 1 Pro and after a few tests I may be thinking of sending it back...

I planned to use the device's 2 USB ports a lot to store videos for my children and my wife.

So they would not have to plug in an HDMI cable to watch their favorite videos (which are almost not found on the American Netflix or Youtube platforms).

Except that a big disappointment on the first try: the key is well recognized, the video file launches well, but there is no sound! And it announces that the format is not supported, I try a file with a different audio format: same result, a third file with different audio format: same result. Some of the most used formats today are not supported by the 2 USB ports and make them completely USELESS: ACC, AC-3, E-AC3, ACC-LC, DTS-HD, THX, LD, SDDS, Atmos, TRUE-HD. The only formats supported are: AMR, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP2, WAV, or OGG well done, back in 2005...

If only via the Android OS I could access the files on my USB key via a third-party application such as VLC, the problem would be solved, but IMPOSSIBLE, Android OS does not have access to the USB port, it is only a player from Wanbo, outside the Android part.

Finally when I was able to find one of the videos for my children compatible with the Wanbo USB player, I wanted to change the audio track from French to English, and there the video stopped and returned to the Android menu . I try again with another one, same result. So it is impossible to change Audio tracks on this device. If only you could already find a video with compatible audio files in the first place.

Last BIG Problem yesterday: for some unknown reason the volume button on the remote control no longer worked. No matter the number of reboots, battery changes, disconnection/reconnection of Bluetooth, nothing to do, yet the little red LED on the remote control lights up each time you press volume + or -. So the signal is sent. But the device no longer reacts. Very Very Very Problematic after 5 Uses. I had to do a FACTORY Reset, so that the Volume buttons worked again, which took almost 45 minutes, the time to re-configure all my accounts in the different applications of the system.

For these different reasons, plus uneven sharpness in the upper right corner with the rest of the image.

I am going to return this DaVinci 1 Pro Wanbo now, unless they update their product very quickly, via an online update via their site then via USB or directly via the connected device.

Do Someone have an idea how i can make the third party App Like VLC to access the USB Port Please?

Thx
