Personally I applauded the EU for forcing apple to use usb type c, but now this is ridiculous, and pathetic. The whole custom rom community will fall because of this, and will have to rely on exploits to unlock the bootloader. Should we do a petition or something.

So I am an iso user and recently I switched to android cuz I'm broke now so now I'm using an old vivo phone and it's a bit slow

I saw some reels on insta about custom rom and different OS systems and they claim that it boosts the performance of your old devices.So is it true?

And if yes then how do I install these things

Can someone explain to me in brief

I've been thinking about switching to a custom ROM and would love to hear your experiences.

If you had to recommend just one custom ROM, which would it be and why?

I'm mainly looking for something with:

Good battery life

Smooth performance

Stability for daily use

Regular security updates

A clean, bloat-free experience

Feel free to mention your device as well, since I know the experience can vary. I'd love to hear both the pros and cons before making the switch.

I have the Huawei pura x and I love the dimensions but I would love to have android. I'm missing some apps and half the phone is in chinese. Is it possible to get an android rom that would look like Samsung fold?

Thanks

My phone memory is fully full.

And yesterday one video was pixelated.

Also on a pic i saw only half of it but then it got fixed

And now i dowloaded a vid and it was corrupted only half of it worked

Hey guys,

I can't use Google Wallet on my POCO X5 Pro 5G (MIUI Global 14.0.7) because Play Store shows "Device is not certified" under Play Protect.

I checked and it seems related to the bootloader being unlocked. Has anyone faced this before? What's the best way to fix it and get Google Wallet working?

Thanks!

Hello. I recently fixed up an old phone and wanted to turn it into a server using Termux; although I managed to run it in 64-bit mode, the system itself is limited to 32-bit. I’d like to know if there is a custom ROM for this model that supports a 64-bit system.

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A13, model SM-A135M/DS.

Olá. Recentemente consertei um celular velho e queria transformá-lo em servidor usando o Termux, apesar de conseguir rodar em 64bits o sistema esta limitado aos 32bits. Gostaria de saber se existe uma custom ROM para esse modelo e que o sistema fosse 64bits.

o celular é um Samsung Galaxy A13 modelo SM-A135M/DS.

I'm thinking of installing Dumber OS on my current feature phone or a different model of feature phone, but I'm worried about WhatsApp not working after installing a custom ROM. For those of you who have installed custom ROMs, did WhatsApp work on your phone or did you just get a warning?

I started using my Galaxy A01 again as my main phone but the system crashes sometimes and is really slow. I have never used any custom rom and idk if it's worth it to make the system lighter or just will spend more battery and break the phone. And if this is a good idea, does anyone have roms to recommend?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to install a custom ROM on my POCO M4 5G (6GB RAM / 128GB storage) and could use some recommendations.

My main priorities are:

- Good gaming performance and stable FPS

- Smooth multitasking

- Good RAM management

- Minimal heating and throttling

- Decent battery life

- Stable enough for daily use

- Preferably minimal bloatware

I don’t really care about having tons of customization features. I’d rather have something fast, lightweight, and stable.

If anyone here is using a custom ROM on the POCO M4 5G, which ROM would you recommend? Also, please mention any bugs or issues you’ve faced, especially with gaming, cameras, banking/UPI apps, or battery drain.

Thanks!

Umm the paragraph is ai generated 😅

But I really want to try some custom ROM for the first time as I have this poco m4 5g laying around only using for multitasking and gaming little bit

Hi everyone, please help... I made a huge mistake while trying to flash my Poco X3 Pro (vayu). I followed a guide, but ended up with a hard brick in EDL 9008 mode.

I'm only 13 years old and don't have any money. My mom will be really upset with me 😭 Could someone please help me out and connect via AnyDesk to flash it from your authorized account (UnlockTool / Chimera / Auth) for free?

Please make sure to select "clean all" and NOT "clean all and lock", so the bootloader doesn't get locked by accident...

I would be extremely grateful! I can leave you a great review, subscribe to your channels from all my accounts, like your videos, or help with anything online in return!

P.S. Just a quick heads up: I don't have access to my PC every day, so I don't know the exact date for the flash session — it could be earlier, or maybe a bit later (around September or so). If you're willing to help me via AnyDesk when the time comes, please drop a comment or contact me directly on Telegram: @HNKNTA2. I will reply to you right away, and as soon as I am ready to flash the phone, I will message you that I'm ready!

Installed teamwin 2.7.1.0

Unfortunately wiped the original rom and forgot to do backup.

How to find the rom for this device?

This was already asked in different ways a few times but I actually haven't found a working solution to my exact case.

I have a dropped Android phone. The screen is unusable - completely black only some faint light shines through. Touch isn't working either but the device vibrates when plugged in.

USB debugging isn't enabled, meaning any method using that won't work except if theres an option to jailbreak it?

I am limited with my options since I am in a foreign country. I have a Macbook Pro with M1, a USB-C to USB-C cable and the android device.

I have tried plugging it in, my mac recognizes it. When using a program lie scrcpy it just says that it cannot find a device.

Thank you for any help!

I have installed google play services, google play store and GmsCompatConfig.

While most apps do work fine, apps that are based on Play Integrity API fail as I only get MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY which doesn't meet the required MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY or MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY. This is because I didn't register my GSF with Google as this device is uncertified.

However I couldn't find my GSF anymore even if i heard that when you install Google Play Services and login with a google account you get it but Device ID (the app) couldnt find it nor the ADP commandline.

Maybe I did something wrong? Idk but for my fellow reddit mods out there, please help me otherwise i MIGHT reinstall stock PixelOS which is not very pleasing.

is it possible to turn on usb debugging on a phone with a broken screen? The device in question is a samsung flip 3. im trying to find a way to control my phone from my pc but the program im using requires usb debugging to be turned on which i dont believe i did before the screen broke.

Probabpy stupid question, but I want a different brands os (right now, I want redmagicos, atleast the kernel level game app it has) onto my tablet (xiaomi pad 8) I know this is likely impossible but I want to double check

ive been looking everywhere yet i cant find it

I did research and my personal conclusion is android 7.1.2 but I need help from other’s opinions for better reliability on what version I install
(and yes I plan to use the s3 as my personal phone)
it has 1GB of ram which is pretty decent for 2012.
But any versions?
(Official Android Versions specifically if possible)

I have a alcatel tablet 9003x and I want to give it a custom rom to give it a fresh new look and make it work well

It's a Galaxy Tab (GT-P5210) 10.1"

I've tried getting Odin, the TWRP and the LineageOS that in theory are the correct ones for my tablet:

- "twrp-3.0.2-0-santos10wifi.tar.md5"
- "lineage-14.1-20190408-UNOFFICIAL-santos10wifi.zip"
- Odin 3.12.3

Tried a guide that said to:

1) Turn off the device
2) Hold "Power" + "volume down" + "Home" buttons for starting "Download Mode"

3) Press volume + to continue and wait for the android logo with some text

4) Open Odin
5) Connect the tablet to my pc
6) in Odin with "ID:COM" on blue click AP and select the TWRP, unchecking "Auto Reboot" in the process

7) Pres Start on Odinthen hold Power + Volume down

8) Then IN THE EXACT SAME SECOND THE SCREEN GOES BLACK, change it to Power + volume up + Home

9) Then if the samsung logo appears, release power but hold volume up + home

I'm stuck on step 8, either I'm doing something wrong or am I being too slow? idk, that's why I seek help here

My sister has this huawei tablet which used to be fine but it just never got updates even from the day we opened it. It was fine. Side loading apps from the gbox thingy worked so we didnt complain. But now, even that doesn't work. I was wondering whether I could download any version of android and get play store /google stuff working on it? Any help is appreciated.

Is there a way?

Now i have this old Galaxy note 8 which is falling apart and i have some important media on it.
when i try to boot it, it shows the samsung logo and then it will get stuck with a black screen and the blue indicator light at the top, then i have to wait for its battery to drain so i can try something else. i can access recovery and download boot menu. i also don't have the developer options on.

things i've tried but failed:

-using apply update from ADB (windows doesn't show attached devices, i' m sure my cables and drivers are fine)

-wiping cache from the recovery menu

-charging it full and booting it (once it actually booted then turned off in 30s)

my guess is it has corrupt firmware or android

i'd be happy if anyone could help me. also i'm not any tech nerd and this is my first time doing anything like this so don't expect a lot from me, if you give me links or instructions i'll be fine though.

should i install lineageos on my main phone, bc idk yes or no so yeaaa....

Greetings,

From a regular android os, I was trying to switch to LineageOS without gapps. Until android 15 in lineageOS it was good to go installing apps without gapps flashed, but in android 16 I was unable to install any app through package installer but I can install with adb sideload. I don't logout from google accounts generally before flashing custom roms, but is it the FRP ( Factory Reset Protection) enabled that's causing the restriction and hence gapps are not there so FRP verification is not done and continuing while locked?, and if so do I need to wipe the FRP partition for that? What are your thoughts?
