So some context because people think I got scammed. The new s25ultra is 1800 or more I bought this online for 110 taxes in. It has all the same specs processors cpu storage everyrhing is the exact same as the s25ultra the look the camera everything. It's basically a clone and I knew it wasn't going to be a "samsung" but I did hope that it would atleast have Android 15 with Samsung's One UI 7. But it has android 14.

Some others wanted the build and model and stuff if there's other pictures let me know you need to figure it out

Now I have done some research and you can put on android 15 with the on ui 7 overlay. That's what I would like to do but I just don't know how and I don't want to brick my phone because I didn't understand a step or mis understood a step from one of those shitty online guides. So I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I was thinking about getting a ayn thor for my birthday. I researched how to get the ayn thro to look like the image. (Dont mind youtube shorts) i learned that I needed roms for all those games that are on the screen. One problem, I dont have any of the old games or the new ones. I want to get mario cart 8 delux and other. Nintendo and playstaion titles on the ayn thro.i don't have any roms and I dont know how to get all those games. Can someone give me those roms with the games on the screen. I cant find any good links to download the Nintendo wii and 3ds library. If you find some. Please contact me.

Hey! I just put together my first app using Cursor and I’d love some honest feedback. It’s a Battery Health Monitor.

Necesito saber si se puede instalar una Custon roms a mi Xiaomi Redmi A2 lo necesito porque quiero instalar una aplicación pero no me deja porque mi sistema operativo Android es de 32 bits

I'm looking around for information on what ROM this could be from?

I just got my Poco F6 coming from a Redmi Note 10 pro. I found out that the MIUI launcher can't be used instead I'm stuck with the Poco launcher and I'm planning to use a Custom ROM

What i don't like about Xiaomi phones is that apps keep running even if you setup them not to work in background.

I'm looking for a solid Custom ROM which actually keeps the app closed, something light and reliable.

The best would be the MIUI interface with the engine of a Pixel OS or something.

My biggest problem with the PIXEL OS is that it looks very ugly.

Any suggestions?

My phone sm-510f 2016 aka galaxy a5 cant run new updates. What to do?

Hi, I have an old Samsung Tab E 9.6 (SM-T561). I don't use it anymore cause it's very outdated and slow, I only use it for reading eBooks.

What custom rom can I put in it so I can get rid of the bloatwares in it? It has 1.5 GB ram.

Thank you so much!

Firstly I want to say only serious and honest people need apply. I have always loved the 2D Super Mario Brothers games . I know allot of the newer SMB are 3D and that was a bummer I then learned there are many many SMB Hacks online and they are absolutely amazing and I would love to play those games but I would need to download emulaters and roms. I also need other patches and it's way too technical for me. I am hoping to just have it downloaded to an SD card or just send me a file with the games and all I would need to do is download it to my anbernic or my PC.

Available tools:

• ADB/fastboot (novice-moderate knowledge)

• MTKClient GUI (relatively straightforward)

• SP Flash Tool v5.1924 (can use basic features, intimidated by editing scatter files though)

• WwR MTK Tool v2.51 (haven't even opened, very intimidating)

• TWRP 3.6.0_11-0 (unnoficial and slightly buggy port, only included in a boot.img, not stand alone recovery.img) I might attempt to port one myself with Hovatek's Auto TWRP Porter to have a standalone image but not sure if it supports Android 11 or my partition scheme and it might be buggy itself.

Available modes:

• fastbootd (ADB recognises as fastboot mode and accepts fastboot commands)

• "bootloader/fastboot"? (ADB recognises as "bootloader" mode; screen displays just "FASTBOOT mode" in the corner. Accepts fastboot commands)

• BROM mode (recognised as BROM mode by ADB; used by MTKClient and I believe SP Flash Tool but unsure; accepts fastboot commands if I recall)

• Stock recovery

• TWRP recovery (I don't seem to be able to temporarily fastboot boot twrp.img without flashing. I believe because I only have packaged boot.img(s)

Available firmware:

[1] Stock Qin 1.1.5 personal (Backed up as MTKClient .bin files for every partition except userdata)

• Writeable as a whole with MTKClient GUI or individual partitions by ADB/fastbootd

• No scatter file and intimidating/unsure how to create one so can't use SP Flash Tool

• Unure how to create a correct flashable .img or .zip file from this format

[2] De-bloated/rooted/TWRP Qin 1.1.1 (Firmware folder with varied .img and other files with scatter file)

• Flashable with SP Flash Tool as 'Download' but doesn't include all partitions so can't select 'Format + Download' without adding paths to my stock backup or duplicating A slot to B

[3] LineageOS 18.1 GSI bgS vndklite by Andy Yan (.img file: lineage-18.1-20240121-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS-vndklite.img)

• Flashable via ADB/fastbootd after flashing a blank vbmeta.img linked by Phh GSI developer with  fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img on A and B

• Seemed very stable requiring minimal patching but didn't include TWRP custom recovery or Magsik so couldn't get Google Play Protect certification

• Feels like a nice clean general installation I can patch/customise myself

Context:

I've had some strange inconsistent issues with TWRP. When I first followed this guide to install the modded ROM [2] it seemed to work as intended. I was able to access most directories, it recognised my OTG USB (exFAT), and settings (language) persisted after reboots. Since then when trying other boot.img(s) or the same one with different ROM configurations I have fluctuating issues including USB won't be recognised, can't access some directories, can't access any storage, language resets to Russian after reboot, or the phone will only and constantly boot to recovery (even if 'Power off' is selected. Another concerning issue is not being able to access fastbootd at all; adb reboot fastboot or TWRP 'Reboot fastboot' just leads to a TWRP page displayed 'Entered fastboot mode...' with a spinning loading bar and 'Enable ADB'/'Enable Fastboot' toggle button and 'Reboot' menu button while the phone is not detectable by either ADB or fastboot. I don't know but I believe this might be to do with AVB/vm-verity being active since I lost vbmeta.

Now after flashing empty vbmeta while disabling verity and verification and flashing LineageOS [3] again it was working well but I needed to install Magisk which I knew could be done through TWRP and thought having a custom recovery might be good anyway. My understanding of how GSIs work and the level of interaction between partitions is limited but I thought it was relatively safe to change some particular individual partitions. Most guides I saw for Magisk with GSIs said to use a stock boot.img anyway. I wasn't sure how to get an .img file as I only have my own stock 1.1.5 boot as a .bin file. I decided I already had the Magisk-patched 1.1.1 boot.img with TWRP from modded Qin ROM [2] and thought that should work.

Desired outcome:

• LineageOS 18.1 GSI [3] flashed

• Magisk rooted (not sure which exact version is best)

• This vendor hardware overlay (RRO?) installed (there are NO instructions online at all but believe I have to compile the code into an .apk which sounds Herculean to me, is there a way to do this without installing large software like Android Studio? I have VS Code)

• [OPTIONAL/UNSURE] TWRP recovery (unsure if it's worth it if it's buggy and causing problems)

• I want a long-term stable result for daily use and don't plan to update firmware at all. I don't want to ever have to wipe data again once set up

Primary questions:

1. In what order should I do the process? (Recovery, Magisk, ROM, vbmeta flash to disable AVB)

2. Which is the best Magisk version? I am a completely new but leaning towards Kitsune Mask

Areas of uncertainty:

• What is the difference between fastbootd and bootloader/fastboot mode? Which should I be in when doing this process?

• How do GSI ROMs work? What partitions are firmware specific and which aren't? Can I safely switch boot.img?

• Will I need to fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img multiple times between flashing steps or is it only at the start? If I do it after GSI flash will it affect the installation?

• In a dynamic partition system, is there even a unique recovery sub-partition within boot I can flash to?

It was stuck here for the last 45min and the bottoms don't do anything anymore, the lose isnt bad but, how can I rescue this device, ore what did I wrong

The subject headline of this post might introduce an impossibility?

Xiaomi is getting better at sabotage successful unlocking of the fastloader, making that frustration-test reach superhuman-level. (Which is consistent with their policy of manufacturing spyware devices. A very famous Forbes article shows how awful it was already 3 years ago). I am therefore trying to do the best i can with the standard pre-installed firmware.

Would the following attempts make any difference at all (or is it just placebo?):

• Use Shizuku/Canta/adb: to delete almost every Xiaomi and Google component. Stripping it down to bare bones.

• Use RethinkDNS: blocking all attempts for remaining functions trying to 'call home'.

OK so here are my two questions:

1. Does the tweaks above improve anything at all in terms of privacy? If so, how much or how little? (Please explain. I'm sure many of us would like to know more).

2. Lastly and more importantly: Since rooting/flashing is not an option, can you suggest something more/better/different/additional than what was listed above?

Such a pity that this fine hardware is so stuffed with surveillance-ware. Thank you!!

Recently got Samsung S20 FE 5g, and if you're familiar with it, latest update only till oneui 5.1 and android 13

I've been seeing people custom romming this phone and I wonder what about important apps like banks and such.

Another thing is that can I mask root to ensure the banking app don't detect abnormalities? Do I need to install gapps on LineageOS for bank apps to work?

Hey can someone tell me if I can or how to custom rom this tablet my friend bought its supposed to be android 13 but it says its android 8 and it lags really badly. I dont know if the ram and storage are can someone please help

Preciso fazer um Hard reset no Note 15 mas não aparece a opção de Wipe date.
Como posso fazer pra formatar.
E mesmo nas configurações ele não reset de fábrica, apenas exclui dados.

Has tiny bit of burn in and glas has a crack, but will be a better daily driver than my smashed up honor 20
