I really miss the days of TWRP, nandroid backups, and early ROM development. I'm a much older woman now and look back on that time fondly :)

Same here! I mean, there are a large group of us.

Funny, I went back yesterday through all my DM's on here going all the way back - and seeing names I had forgotten about. Devs, some retired now that were just starting out in ROM development. I remember Android 4ish and using ARM for the first time and then using EXT4 for the first time and it was just guys on here and on the old SDX site implementing it.

When Android was open source and the Kernel was open source and Android welcomed amateur devs to create new technologies some of which were implemented by later versions of Android.

Guys like Cyanogen, MikMik, Joey Krim.. but I'm just going on now.

I have a feeling even with Pixels, rooting is going to be a thing of the past and not too far down the road and I hope to hell I'm wrong.

If they take away ad blocking, I just might go back to iPhone. I don't think I'll need VPN tethering soon. I feel like the ISPs are going to make it so you don't have to worry about hotspot limitations.

The funny thing is, I started out with the iPhone 2G and 3GS. I switched to Android and I'll never go back unless the above conditions become obsolete with Android.

The idea of security and safety for a lot of these companies is censorship and anti third party. I feel like Google has stopped innovating in the development arena in 2013. Now they're more buyout companies that innovate.

One thing I really wish the pixel line would pick up is one plus type charging. 100 watt charging would be a game changer.

You know in Network Settings you can setup a private DNS server using adguard??

It's part of the stock OS

I haven't done it in a long time. But I will do this and compare. Does this block ads inside the YouTube app or other apps?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Yeah. I have games that are invested with ads and this kills all of them.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
Eh, I have an iPhone for work, and there's NO way I'd go 100% to it. It's WAY more locked down, and just cumbersome to use. I have to use it for almost a week when I managed to brick my p8p. Nope.

Also, Google is definitely still innovating. Apple used to be the one, but really the only thing major I see them add anymore, Android already has. And Google keeps coming up with things you didn't know you needed. Like call screen, hold for me, crash detection, etc. To each their own I guess.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 0b946122bf4bee8d3e9748122:
That's more a side effect of the current state of tech imo.

We hit the upper limits of current hardware/software sometime in the early 2010s, now everything has reached critical mass and has nowhere to expand to. Hence why every company on earth jumps on *anything* they can to stay relevant (see: subscription model, machine learning, every app trying to become TikTok 2.0, and now AI).

Unfortunately I think this means we're in for a very boring and stagnant next decade or so, until there's a new real technological breakthrough. Not much left to improve on - especially in the mobile industry. Smartphones are a solved problem.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] junglism93:
With the move to using our devices for secure payments and tap to pay etc the uplift in security has become a must have to protect that, whilst for the minority of users that wish to root alongside this, things have become trickier and almost not worth the effort.

As the saying goes, you can't have your cake, and eat it!

As far as the Pixel line of devices goes, it is reaching the end of the line for rooting as it will reach the point where rooting it will lose you the ability to use the 'extras' like call screen etc etc.

The rooting scene will carry on along with the ROM scene, there is still a community of people doing it for non Google branded devices.

Maybe it is time for a move to another vendor and forego the Google extras, netflix, wallet and so on and be able get your 'flash' back on.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
you cant have freedom on your device while expecting to do any financial at the same time, lets face it google supports the android OS only because google makes so much money off it.

so no you cannot use Google services , have root then do your banking, buy tickets, shop amazon or a thousand other things that involve money.

that also includes blocking things that make money for google like blocking ads, spoofing location, spoofing your device model, or anything that might have "spoof"in it.

myself i have my personal device that has all my personal info on it WITH ROOT.

and a device that is only for "official" use. ( google, amazon, government stuff) without root.

it will always be a fight of freedom vs Banking , and if you wonder why?

think why the USA is banning TicTok when then only difference between tiktok and google, apple, facebook ,etc and the data they collect, is that tic toc is not making billions for the USA.

google, apple, facebook and many many others have be fined millions for stealing and selling data.

( my personal device will always have Root for a firewall)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
It's crazy because I do my banking, I just bought tickets to Josh Gates for next Sunday night on the Ticketmaster app, and have them stored in my Wallet along with my Credit Union Debit and Credit cards. I shop Amazon I do all that stuff. Only Experian and Binance apps give me errors.

I also block ads with the Private DNS server built into the Stock OS.

Granted, I'm in the US where it seems there are less of those issues.

The point is, saying you can't do those things is not exactly true. Because people do it with rooted Pixels
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
you can do them, but google and banks do not make it easy for you if you are rooted.

that is the point.

can you imagine not being able to shop or bank on a windows PC because there was an administrator account?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I dunno. I use Linux
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
It is pretty silly, in China everyone uses wechat or alipay for mobile payment and neither are affected by root. Not sure why google cares so much.
[OnePlus 12] xuanhoang1811:
To make the flashing easier, i made a package for who wants to change region, convert global,... that can flash with BOTH 2 method: FASTBOOT and TWRP

Thanks Nebrassy for TWRP build: https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-12-unofficial-teamwin-recovery-project.4662856/

-------------------------------------HOW TO INSTALL----------------------------------------

With fastboot mode: Extract rom file > Put your phone to bootloader mode > Run CAIDAT_1+12.bat if you are using Windows operating system, run CAIDAT_1+12_linux.sh if you are using Linux.

With TWRP mode: Put rom file in your internal storage > Select Install > Find and flash rom file from storage

Note:

1. fastboot flashing will automatically wipe your data because I have added a command to do that. TWRP flashing will not wipe your data after flashing, so if you need to do that then you need to go to the Wipe section in TWRP to do it.

2. It's safe to lock bootloader if you flashed with fastboot method/TWRP method(with "Yes" recovery update option)

3. 05/25/2024 update: added set active slot a command to avoid Qualcomm CrashDump Mode

Hybrid rom means ??

Theme store chiana or global?

If theme store chiana can we access it with our username that is outside chiana?
[OnePlus 12] xuanhoang1811:
It means support flash both from fastboot and twrp. So it makes no change in original rom

[OnePlus 12] vegetaleb:
CPH2573 got an update yesterday , there is something newer than 610, dunno what exactly because I didn't flash the OTA (phone is rooted)
[OnePlus 12] JEANRIVERA:
does this wipes the device? just to make sure before I jump the gun, can I flash COS without wipe and then come back to NA without having to wipe in between? Has anyone tried this?
[OnePlus 12] xuanhoang1811:
I put wipe command fastboot mode but TWRP not. So you can try with TWRP method. I didn't try to jump flash like this
[OnePlus 12] JEANRIVERA:
Don't you think such details should be on the OP, I mean it is important information.....
[OnePlus 12] xuanhoang1811:
I think it should be useful information, thanks
[OnePlus 12] cabagekiller:
So what is special about this ROM? I'm looking into flashing it but would like to know more info on if.
[OnePlus 12] JEANRIVERA:
There's nothing special, it's stock ROM, for the purpose of easy converting from one region to another

Hi Guys,

What CSC is advisable for Model SM-S9110/DS

my current CSC is S9110CHC3CXE3. Unfortunately there is no Google Play Store on it. Is changing CSC will resolve the issue? and what CSC would you recommend to enable Google Play Store?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Dumet:
You should flash the BRI or TGY firmware directly instead of changing the CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S23] caloy03:
How could I flash it directly? what 3rd party software I need to use?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Dumet:
Download TGY or BRI firmware, and then flash it directly using odin3
[Samsung Galaxy S23] caloy03:
Thanks I'll try that one

I know it is a noob question but I found device tree and kernel source for my phone

But I just need vendor tree so I will be able to build a custom rom based on aosp

But how to get vendor tree and how it can works for you or against you?

Samsung A13 (mtk G80)
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Vendor trees are proprietary software packages from device manufacturers and typically not publicly available.

However, you can try searching for the Samsung A13 (mtk G80) source code on the official Samsung Developer website: https://developer.samsung.com/

If the source code isn't available there, it's likely not meant for public distribution. You can also try contacting Samsung directly to inquire about the availability of the vendor tree.
[3D Printers] JayBe13:
I figured I would get a used one to learn so just purchased an Ender 3 Pro with the following

Silent board for silent steppers.

4.2.7 board upgrade.

Dual gear extruder.

CR-touch for bed leveling.

Fan for board.

for $100.00 did I get a good Price?

The person that sold it to me said if I have a Raspberry Pi I can update the firmware and print faster. A friend gave me a Vilros Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (want to learn that too lo)l. So I hope to use that if I can after I play around a little to figure out what to do. Anyone have any suggestions or can point out a good starting point?

I am reading strongst's How To Guide - 3D Printer Guide.
[3D Printers] strongst:
I can't say if you can print faster with the same quality. But for 200 you can even get more up to date printers even with Klipper if you need a very fast printer, otherwise quality is my priority, not the speed 🙂
[3D Printers] JayBe13:
If I like 3D Printing I will look into a newer printer but that is probably years away.
[3D Printers] strongst:
For now you should not fiddling around with an external controller. Just get comfortable with the whole printer, Slicer, designing(maybe) itself. If the bed leveling works(otherwise you have a bad print every time) and the quality of your prints meet your expectations, nothing more is required I my opinion for now 👍
[3D Printers] Bradford1040:
you got a pretty good deal, if you are at all familiar with building firmware's for 3d printers then I absolutely would suggest installing Klipper using KIAUH "https://github.com/dw-0/kiauh" I also would suggest using ORCA Slicer, it has taken the top spot as far as slicers go, prusa slicer is good as well and there are quite a few custom builds for it. You really need to watch a bunch of YT vids there are quite a few good creators that give excellent advise. My ender 3 prints at 350mm/s & 10,000mm/^s acceleration but I have many upgrades to that unit, well all my printers are now far from stock lol. But I am pretty sure you can get 200mm/s and say 5,000mm/^s acceleration on a stock platform, but don't jump straight there, setting a printer up is time consuming and hair pulling moments! Just enjoy yourself, I started with an Ender 3 myself and now own 6 printers which almost are always printing, offsetting electric costs with selling cosplay stuff

[3D Printers] KarenMartin:
Hey, congrats on getting into 3D printing! That Ender 3 Pro with all those upgrades for $100 sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me! The silent board and the 4.2.7 board upgrade are great for reducing noise and improving performance. The dual gear extruder and CR-touch for bed leveling are also solid upgrades that'll make printing smoother and easier.

As for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, it’s a good idea to use it for running OctoPrint, which will let you control your printer remotely and add some cool features. You can definitely update the firmware with it too.
[3D Printers] glafollette865:
Can you recommend one for that price?

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] ApprenticeX:
Hello,

I got this samsung j2 from my brother. I have used it for almost an year. I had an issue with whatsapp and I used the forum to solve that.

I am searching for a ROM upgrade from the locked stock rom. I have encountered 3 ROMs on this site:

Next Gen OS (OneUI Experience) (V3.7)

ExCustom V2

LEGEND ROM

I also found these two but I don't know if they work with a j200g (they say rom is ok but I am afraid other things are only for the j2 prime)

[ROM][6.0.1][2.9 GB FREE][GUIDE] Debloat Script for Stock J2 Prime (SM-G532 F/G/M/MT)

Welcome! This guide is to help you debloat your Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime (G532 M/F/G/MT)! But, before I begin, I should give a few warnings! Background: As us owners of the J2 Prime know, development for a custom ROM (either port or AOSP based)...

xdaforums.com

[ROM][6.01][STABLE][G532XX]EnigmaNL Port/ROM for J2 Prime

EnigmaNL Port So I'm finally sharing this ROM lol. A lot of the people that are in my Telegram group already knew about this ROM from long ago. I just felt lazy to upload it to xda. And now I feel bad about it xD Man, this is the second time I am...

xdaforums.com

My question is that how do I choose one ROM (or ask for a custom rom) if my focus is only on performance, storage and compatibility on newer software (telegram and whatsapp mainly). Now I am not a brat to ask directly to put everything I prefer in one rom and give it to me like I am the CEO of Samsung. I am asking how these ROMs are organized.

I don't necessarily want OneUI upgrades or new skins for the Apps (cosmetic upgrades). If the new ROM is bloatware-free, fast, has free storage that is my concern. But if adding ONeUI and new skins is necessary to support new apps like Telegram and Whatsapp, I am OK.

So what should I try out first. I think I am capable of installing this but I don't think I know how to go forward with each modification. (do this, delete it and upgrade to this one, revert to stock rom<- that kind of knowledge.)
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] Boomdada:
try the excustom rom and legend rom as the nextos is heavy for the phone and to debloat the apps just search for apps to debloat from debloat list

TWRP SUPPORT WITH THE VOYAGER KERNEL

This is a guide for Pad 5 Pro Wifi (Elish) to support TWRP using The Voyager Kernel

I've also patched The Voyager Kernel with Magisk Delta 27.0

Notes

For those who are using MJW Ports, you dont need this, ROM is already coming with the same kernel and TWRP

For those who are using xiaomi original perf kernel, your system will not boot if you just flash vendor_boot.img

Disclaimer Warning

You choose to make these modifications to your system

Have your original boot.img and vendor_boot.img backup before proceeding, just in case any bad thing happens

Only tested on HyperOS ROM, for AOSP, test at your own risk

Guide

Flash both File in fastboot:

(Reboot your device to fastboot mode)

fastboot flash boot *kernel*.img

fastboot flash vendor_boot.img

fastboot reboot

(Your tablet will reboot into system with custom kernel and TWRP support)

Kernel Source: Voyager-NoKSU-ELISH-10836b1-miui-1462108465-24.02.24 (Password:26wd)

You can also replace TWRP to OFRP if you want

https://github.com/ymdzq/OFRP-device_xiaomi_elish
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] WhatNo:
Wait, does this mean that I could do this on a locked bootloader stock elish, get TWRP and just be able to flash any custom ROM / magisk.boot image (for rooting) I want without having to actually unlock my device through Xiaomi's garbage process?

If that is the case, are there any downsides to this? Besides of course warranty void, blah blah. Because if I remember correctly there was some github page I found with a force-unlocker for my bootloader but it warned pretty adamantly that the process could very much result in irreversible physical hardware level damage to the motherboard.

Im asking because a few months ago I practically scoured the forums for a way to unlock my device after installing HyperOS prematurely, which unfortunately I found out too late actually prevented me from unlocking it through the xiaomi community app / forums, because the chinese government decided their people cant have nice things and autonomy, and was left with the only option of going to third party websites which would of course gouge me out for something I couldnt even trust them to do. Thankfully I didnt but if this could be my salvation, that would be marvelous.

It is way too late in the evening for me to try this now but I will certainly be doing so first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Also, sorry for the stupid questions but I dab into these things at an objectively very surface level only once every few months / years so I cant remember how this worked right now.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] siamese007:
Couldn't you use Xiaomi Flash Tool to flash MIUI ROMs of older version? And unlock your bootloader in that older version ROM, if you say HyperOS prevent you from unlocking your bootloader.

This topic is only Kernel not the full ROM. May not be applicable to your objective(s) as stated above.
