[OnePlus Nord N100 Questions & Answers] Timespansoul:
Update

After many hours of searching and prepping I followed the conversion guide(link in 1st post) with great success!

I noticed that in 10.5.3 it was still recognized as a BE2012(MTO). I also noticed that updates were greyed out. This wasn't an issue for me as this was an intermediate step to get to UT so I didn't do much investigating. However, when I installed Touch I noticed that my phone was now being recognized as a BE2011(Global). So there must be some way to have OxygenOS recognize it as a Global model(then again the greyed out updates were not properly investigated). From my research the MTO and Global have the same hardware specs. My hardware id was 44 if this means anything to anyone.

You know, going back to 10 felt really weird but great! Even if it was only to confirm the version haha. And the godawful pink TMobile splash screen is gone. You can almost feel your eyes changing shape when you're staring at it.

Notes

If you do decide to do this make sure you turn your clock back to 2020 and disconnect the internet before flashing with MSM tool. I read of people having issues with MSM Tool if not done so. I didn't take any chances and I have no clue if it made a difference -just worth mentioning.

After rebooting you will have to unlock the bootloader again with a simple command.

In conclusion it is still currently possible to flash a converted Global OPS file to this device via MSMDownload tool. It's an involved process, mainly attention to detail, a proper backup, a properly configured workstation and yes A GOOD CABLE. Make sure you have the right files for the right phone. Your workflow must be orderly and well labelled.

Fastboot will act strangely when you're using a crappy cable. It will spit errors for the simplest commands. Exercise a bunch of passive commands to confirm that fastboot is running correctly. Fastboot should say OK every time. If you're getting solid OKs then try booting something before flashing. If not and you know all your drivers are good then it's probably your cable.

Fastboot is your friend but it can be your worst enemy.

May I ask why you want to use OOS 10? Just to get Global firmware?
[OnePlus Nord N100 Questions & Answers] Timespansoul:
I needed 10.5.3 to install Ubuntu Touch as per the installation instructions for the N100. TMO's oldest version is 10.5.8 which is unsupported. Even though it might've installed without a hitch I wanted to avoid finding myself in a position that was undocumented.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] HomeyJay:
I really like the thin and light official Samsung cases but they don’t seem to have any protection at all for the hinge - how important is this?

All the ones that have the hinge protection seem to have a crappy plastic screen cover built in and I’d rather use a dedicated glass protector!

Any advice would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] _GRIZZLY_:
Everthing depends what you do for daily. If work in office, not do sports or not too hard worh outside in my opinion you not need hinge proteciotn.

In my experience I recommended have case in home with hinge protection with situation like trip, bike ride, work outside to good protect before drop, dust.

For daily I use usually only back case leather cover or s pen cover but when I know that need better protection like playing with dog I put Fold in spigen slim armor pro with frame.

Then after few days or before change case for less bulky.

If you want good protecion with not a lot bulky a lot of users and me too recommend Spigen Slim Armor Pro or if you want clear Thin fit pro made by policarbonate which not yellowing.

In case for fold the worst are frame with stick strips, especially front part. In my opinion best of this are from samsung's case (eco leather). Cover less front screen than for example spigen's and fit very good.

My combo are front from black leather cover and back spigen slim armor pro or clear thin fit pro with hinge protection.

You can looking to for sleeve or small bag for F5 which will fit in pocket. Sometimes I use bag from sunglasses to protect naked F5 against dust or scratches :).

Possibilities are various and depends what you prefer and how protect you need for daily
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] becosemsaida:
I bought a Dbrand case for full protection but never used it. It just gets too bulky. Already had an official S-pen case from Samsung and have been using that. Doesn't offer much protection though, no hinge protection at all and for the price it's expensive (2 cheap plastic thingys and a "dumb" S-pen from a note 1 or 2) Bought an screen protector from Spigen (glass) and so is my setup. Must tell you that i'm not very carefull with my phone, its a tool not a gimmick, and after a year of usage still looks like new, even the inside screen is "like new". Clean it once a week with a cloth and use it for everything anywhere. Not a bad quality product or maybe i got lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] HomeyJay:
Thx guys, ordered the eco leather case from Amazon. No edge protection but let’s see how it feels!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] _GRIZZLY_:
Good choice and I too recommend :).

Black or blue?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] HomeyJay:
lol, there’s a blue?

I only saw the black on Amazon when I ordered it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] _GRIZZLY_:
Yes it is :).

I supposed that are availible worldwide.

In my country Poland Europe yes.

For example USA

In samsung site price are too high but only for information I linked this site.

But you will know that in blue verison front are have little different hue than back.

Front in both veriosn are hard platic and only back are made in soft, eco leather.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] HomeyJay:
Eco case arrived and fitted. It’s pretty good! Still a bit nervous about carrying it around without some spine protection but I guess I’ll have get used to it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ashbyalx:
These are my personal favourites that I have bought so far

The "amarid fibre" one is super thin and makes the device feel so solid I can't take it off

Magsafe case

Strap case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Maskman_101:
No case. I'm just rocking mine with skins. I don't want add any cases to my sleek beauty. I rather keep changing between skins, rn I'm using a textured skins from Gadgetshieldz.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] JazonX:
Any good case with the S-Pen Slot other than Samsung official ones ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iceepyon:
There are plenty of 3rd party cases with S-Pen slot on eBay. But if you want a case with good all around protection then checkout Supcase UB Unicorn Pro for the Fold 5.

Wrong place to ask. I would recommend going here though (found this via reddit) :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arieluch0:
Hello, and good afternoon, everyone! I have an issue with a phone I recently bought; I searched online for days, but couldn't find anything that helps…

The phone I bought is a Kodak Seren D55L, a phone that comes with Android 11 GO, and after a week or so of use, I started getting the following: Full-screen timed ads when opening apps, an absurd amount of spam calls and, most recently, spam notifications (ads about games or something like that) disguised as WhatsApp notifications (they show up as if they came from WhatsApp, and they do, under a channel called “notification_important_fbk”, but I know for a fact that WhatsApp wouldn't send ads over notifications). This post on Reddit supports my claims. I tried wiping the phone from the recovery mode, after which I installed only a subset of the apps that I use on my other phone (that never gave me any problems), from the Play Store: authenticator app, supermarket app, Duolingo, Firefox, Google Photos, banking app, mailing app, Spotify, Google Tasks, Uber Lite and WhatsApp.

I contacted the seller, but they obviously don't want to give me a refund since this is not related to the product warranty or anything like that, so… I think the only solution is to install a “generic” Android 11 GO on the phone. Searching online, I have learned that:

There are other people having the same issues with this phone.

The full-screen ads come from the default launcher the phone has, Quickstep.

The launcher can be disabled or uninstalled using Universal Android Debloater, but that leaves the square button (“recents”) from the navigation bar completely unusable.

There are a few other cases (in Turkish websites) where people reported suspicious notification ads coming from the YouTube official app, under the same channel (notification_important_fbk).

I couldn't find a ROM compatible with this phone anywhere on the Internet… I don't even know if it's really Kodak.

Here are the specs of the phone, it has a UNISOC processor. I know most of the page is in Spanish (sorry), but I couldn't find a page in English that has the information right. It seems that this phone is mostly sold in South America.

TL;DR: Is there a way I can install a “generic”/base Android GO on a Kodak Seren D55L, so I stop receiving spam all day?

Greetings, and thank you so much for your time.

Edit: I took screenshots of the full-screen ads and the WhatsApp notification ad.

(Also, I want to clarify that I have read the community rules before posting. Since there is no forum for Kodak phones, I consider this is the most appropriate place to post my inquiry).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zxalilh:
If you have some background processes going on in the background that you don't recognise, you can delete the apps doing it.

1. Get ADB drivers.

2. Get the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" tool.

3. Go to Settings -> About device and press the "Build number" 7 times.

4. Go back and go to System -> Developer options and enable "USB debugging".

5. Open up Minimal ADB and Fastboot

6. Run "adb devices".

7. If something like "Allow USB debugging?" comes up, press "Ok".

8. Download the "Package Name Viewer" app on the phone.

8 - 1. Look through the apps to see if there are apps that look sketchy.

9. Run "adb uninstall nameofpackage".

Edit: I read more about the phones "from" Kodak on Reddit, and they are probably using a fake version of the Quickstep launcher. Replacing it with the real version of it and deleting all(most) of the bloatware should fix this problem. Keep in mind, I can't assure your data is safe even after you do all of these.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arieluch0:
Hello, and thank you so much for your response! :D I remember there were a lot of suspicious-named apps installed when I checked with Universal Android Debloater.

Yes, the Quickstep launcher included in this phone is clearly modified... Sorry for my ignorance and if this question sounds rude (that's not my intention, I'm just curious), but how do you know that is the original version of the Quickstep launcher? APKMirror has different, newer versions for that APK in particular, and there are many "Quickstep launchers" from different developers in the website.

Do you think it's possible to flash this phone with a stock Android 11 GO (if there is such ROM)? That would be the better solution, since it wouldn't be surprising if this phone also had some kind of spyware embedded :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zxalilh:
I doubt unlocking the bootloader (officially) is possible, although you could probably unlock it unofficially. Most of the apk files that are available on APKMirror are safe and very unlikely to have been modified.

Embedded spyware is very possible with these types of devices. I recommend you get something like a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge, it's cheap and custom ROMs can be easily installed on it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MLX:
Hi, nice to find somebody else having issues with this device :P

I was experimenting a bit on flashing a GSI to entirely replace the stock rom, after flashing vbmeta and rebooting into fastboot it no longer boots (neither to fastboot nor recovery)

Firmware doesn't seem to be available online, so until I find a way to flash it, this seems to be the end of my testing...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zxalilh:
What commands did you use to flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] mickliq:
This was released today...

Unfortunately they removed the little "stand" from the original Keys to Go, to enable the Keys to Go 2 to used on your lap like a tablet. It's the reason I end up still using my Tab S9 rather than the Z Fold 5...there's no mode where I can really use the ZF5 for any productivity beyond quick messages.

I have a bunch of different stands that can be used on a desk and that's fine, but it's the "lap mode" that is still elusive.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] JazonX:
Nothing new apart from the quick switching capability. Gotta find another not so overrated keyboard with the same option so the pricing would be fair.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] mickliq:
View attachment 6116919View attachment 6116920View attachment 6116921

Pulled the trigger on the Keys to go 2. Love the keyboard. Forgot I had this Keyboard/Tablet holder from a few years ago (it was made for an Apple Magic Keyboard but works pretty well with the Keys to go 2).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iceepyon:
I would be careful using that case if the back is magnetic, as it could damage your Fold 5

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Hello to all,

QuickGPS updates via WLAN work fine for me (Michyprima's ROM WM6.1 v3.5), however I always have to open the program via its icon in the settings menu which does take some time.

Is there any way to create a link for it on the Today screen?

Any help is appreciated
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] dennistaylor:
In the programs options, you can have it give a notification in your calendar when it expires and that brings up the program if you click it from the today screen.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Hmm I already did this before but something didn't work...I will try again, thanks so far. :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Hmm, didn't work so far. Is there any way to create a link from some system settings on the Today screen?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bigtsr:
On my stock 7501 it is on the Today screen as part of the

HTC plugin.Have you tried to create a link using Total Commander

or another file app and place it in the Windows/Startmenu?

This would allow you access from 1st screen.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Thats's exactly my problem, bigtsr, since I don't know where to look for the original QuickGPS program/system setting in order to link it...

EDIT: Now I get the picture, according to the registry quickgps.exe should be linked within home launcher, however there is no quickgps.exe anywhere, only quickgps.exe.0409.mui...any help from the ROM experts (Michyprima R6.1 SPL3.5) would be appreciated.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Problem solved; in this ROM quickgps.exe has been renamed to SeaSGEE.exe, however all registry entries still refer to the original file name...I don't understand how quickgps could actually be started with a wrong registry link???

Very well, if anyone else has problems with quickgps on the latest ROM R6.1 from MichyPrima, it could be related to this.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
I'm curious, what Gamepad are you usually using with the ROG Phone 8 Pro?

Since ASUS to this date has not launched any control for said cell phone.

I've the official DEVILCASE case and with the rubber protection around it it makes the cell phone much wider.

On the other hand, I am currently with a GameSir X2 Pro , but this is quite annoying.

Gamepads discarded due to the case and caseless issue:

Motec 061 and GameSir X4 AILERON.

I also ruled out the ASUS ROG Kunai 3 since you have to remove the case to fit it into the stand and use it.

[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Donlavon1:
Backbone controller fits the ROG phone 8 perfectly even with the devil case. I use it with my ROG phone 8 pro.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
Any pic with the ROG Phone 8 Pro, The DEVILCASE case and the Backbone Controller mount?.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Donlavon1:
Here you go.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
Okay.

Did you use an adapter so that the male USB C fits correctly into the female USB C of the cell phone?.

Because the male connector on the control itself is quite short...

I ask you because basically the same thing happens to me on the GameSir X2 Pro.

And as I see, both the Backbone and the GameSir X2 Pro have the male USB C connector at the same distance.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Donlavon1:
Nope. It fits in the backbone USB without an adapter. The USB port in the Backbone seems to stick out more then other controllers. I think they design it this way for phones with bulky cases
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
Great!.

Let me see then how I go about solving the issue with the GameSir X2 Pro, because the truth is that it is also annoying to connect the cable every time I want to use it.

In a few days I will receive something from abroad to see if I can do what I have been thinking about, because the truth is I don't feel like spending money on another Gamepad again.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
I update.

In the end I'm bringing the ROG Tessen from Japan through Amazon USA.

I didn't like the design of the Backbone.

There is no other Gamepad to date that supports the DEVILCASE case.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Alruse122:
did ROG Tessen it's made for Rog phone 8? do you have problems with C-port?
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
The ASUS ROG Tessen went on sale on May 14Th 2024 (that is, it goes hand in hand with the ROG Phone 8).

It's not that I've problems with the USB C port, but that I don't want to remove the DEVILCASE case (which is very thick) to play with a Gamepad.

I've the GameSir X2 Pro and I've been making some modifications to it, but it doesn't fit correctly with the DEVILCASE case on.

So I leave that out too.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
Gamepad for ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro and DEVILCASE case.

GameSir X2 Pro: Modified with what is available in the country, it is more or less left. Quite uncomfortable to use it like that in that position.

Mocute 061: It doesn't go in directly and sticks out, on top of that it's Bluetooth and I don't like that it has a delay.

GameSir X4 AILERON: The same as the Mocute 061. Bluetooth too.

Turtle Beach ATOM: Modified the camera enters... But without a case it is the same as the Mocute 061 and the GameSir X4 AILERON.

Plus Bluetooth too.

Backbone Controller Android: For the moment it would be ideal. What I don't like is that it has the design of a PlayStation Gamepad.

The good thing is that it fits perfectly with the case without any adapter.

ASUS ROG Kunai 3: Completely ruled out. It does not come with a cover and on top of that you have to have a separate support to fit it in.
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Donlavon1:
Can you use the Tessen with the ROG phone 8 with the Devilcase?
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
Yeah!.

[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Eze2kielOK:
I already have it in my hands since yesterday!

From Japan to the USA and from there to Argentina.

It fits perfectly in the official DEVILCASE case without removing it.

Excellent quality of materials, especially the aluminum rear triggers.

Much better quality than a GameSir controller.

The effect of the lights with Armory Create (same App name but different from the one installed on the cell phone) didn't seem interesting to me at all. I left it disabled.

He saved me with the case issue. USB C is fixed, not mobile.

Excellent response in games without any type of Lag.

The only thing I don't like are the buttons below everything, they should be above the XBox ones for example to have them more accessible from there.

I'm now looking for a case to be able to transport it and leave it there when not in use (very strange that ASUS hasn't released one!).

Nothing more to add.

BTW, I had the ASUS ROG Spatha case stored without using it (I also didn't find a use for it because the charging base and the Mouse don't fit together to transport them).

So to protect the Tessen from dust, I directly took out what was inside and it came in quite nicely folded.
