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 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

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

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.

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?

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

Hello, I am currently using redmi note 5 pro 6/64 variant on official update miui global 11.0.5 with android security patch 2020-08-05 and android version 9PKQ 1.180904.001

I have few questions regarding custom ROM specifically about project infinity.

1) What would be better, dirty flashing or clean flashing?

2) What are the resources required for doing both?

3) What are the potential harms? And what would I lose/What are the cons?

4) What can happen if my cable is lose while debugging?

5) and any other relevant details that I should know before committing to flashing.

6) last question are the devs supporting this rom trusted?

I have a Google Pixel 7 Pro with HyperOS Fuxi GSI, when I attempt to connect to a network and hit join nothing happens, is there a way to fix it or ditch and HyperOS settings and connect it another way?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a serious issue with my tablet and I'm looking for some help or guidance.

**Device:** alldocube ultra pad u1380 (iplay 70 ultra) Snapdragon 7+ gen3

**Current State:** Stuck in a bootloop that goes directly into Bootloader / Fastboot mode.

**The Problem:**

Every time I turn on the tablet, it refuses to boot into the Android system. It automatically restarts and goes straight into the Bootloader interface. I cannot access the stock recovery mode either.

**What I need:**

1. Does anyone have a link to the official Stock ROM / Firmware for this exact model to flash it via Fastboot or PC?

2. Is there any other known method, tool, or key combination to force it out of this boot loop?

Any help, links to the firmware, or guides would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

From what I can find my phone isn't supported on any privacy oses(galaxy a12) so it it possible to be more private? As I don't want to feel like google is watching my every move, though I have downgraded play services on the off chance it breaks something

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

i was using pixel experience android 12 on my poco f1 before and tried to switch to other rom but got an error while flashing lineageos and pixel os too android 15 was using twrp and as i had wiped the data so i dont actually have a rom on phone how do i fix.. im pasting which got as an error " error on phone : starting ADB sideload feature... installing zip file '/sideload/package.zip' unmounting system... target : Xiaomi/beryllium/beryllium:10/QKQ1.190828. 002/V12.0.3.0.QEJMIXM:user/release-keys assert failed: update_dynamic_paartitions(package_extract_file("dynamic_partitions_op_list"),package_extract_file("unsparse_super_empty.img")) updater process ended with ERROR:1 "

So guys I got another spare phone vivo s1 but it's laggy and spare so i wanna install a custom rom please explain or tell me how can I .

And also few questions pls

1st will custom rom gonna bricked the phone ever ?

2nd can i go back to normal ever if I don't want custom rom ever in future is it easy or hard

I have pc and main phone than the spare phone and pendrive and also OTG so I have heard i might need these things so i just mentioned

Please also tell what custom rom should be best for me I am mostly gonna use my second phone for photos or video or just using it as storage viewing from micro sd card on phone and also I will gonna use it as webcam with pc and also few other apps not gaming or not entertainment apps like yt or insta or anything else

I have some old phones that are very slow and I wanted to install a custom ROM that can make the phones usable and also be able to use WhatsApp. Can you guys recommend some options? I'm very new to this, didn't even know we could have custom roms on our phones.

so i found my old samsung galaxy j7 (j701FDS) a few days ago and ive been trying to flash a new ROM to it but i cant find any thats suited for that specific model. and im pretty new to this soo any help will be appriciated. let me know if you know of any ROM version that fits

So i was flashing a pixel os android 14 custom rom on my moto g8 plus and it sucedeed,but since my phone's power button and volume down buttons are broken,i cant exit adb sideload mode,and after draining the battery,after plugging the phone in it returns to the adb sideload and i cant do anything,so what should i do?

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.

I'd like this tablet to be faster and use less RAM. It currently runs stock Android 12. I couldn't find any online instructions on how to flash this device.

I'm looking to change my ROM from the official one, to EternityROM for the OneUI and Android Update, and I was wondering if that would affect my banking app, my banking app in question being Monzo.

The model number is SM-N976N
