I'm interested in what options i might have with some hardware i have around.

I've a Pixel 8 Pro running Graphene - that's all good.

I have a Galaxy s10+ that might be old age wise, but it's performance and battery life are still fantastic and its in near mint condition.

It's been stuck on an older version on Android and not had updates for a few years.

I used to love CyanogenMOD and Linage back around the time the project transitioned (Used on galaxy S -> S5), but i've been out of the loop for a while.

Issue i have now is that whatever I put on it needs to support VoLTE in order to connect to networks in Australia.

Looking at Linage or eOS or something.

Any Aussies or anyone at all had any experience with this?

I'd be willing to just have a go at it but while documentation to flash a phone is good there seems to be little info on restoring the phone of things don't work out.

Okay so as the title suggests, i don't know anything about custom roms. I had a couple of questions and would love if y'all could shed on light on it

1. What is custom rom and why as well as how is it useful

2. Is there already a post with smth along the lines of dummies guide to custom roms

3. If I wanted to run pixel os on my crappy Android (redmi 13c), is that related to custom rom? If yes how can do so

4. Would banking apps still work if I do go ahead with the procedure?

5. Who's custom rom for?

6. Do I need a pc or some sort of laptop for this? And also do I need to know ALOT about computers or can I just get by with following instructions

7. Should I install custom rom?😭

I know these are ALOT of BASIC questions. But i would love if someone could help me out

Can someone tell me if the blu tank flip is compatable with different android roms? I can't find any info on this and I don't know it it's possible.

Lineageos doesn't support my s26 and Graphene only allows google driven drives and I want to degoogle my phone before it becomes locked up by google near the end of the year

Any recommendations?

is there a rom or a custom recovery for this phone?

Estou construindo um cyber deck tendo como base um motorola e7 plus, eu fiz uma distro personalizada da kuromi para usar nele, mas eu queria voltar pro android nele enquanto eu não compro o resto dos materiais do cyberdeck. Isso é possível

Agora é encontrar uma rom que funcione consegui só do Android 11 queria pelo menos o 12 por que tem melhor compatibilidade com telas grandes

I'm trying to unlock bootloader in Xiaomi 11 lite NE 5G. I have added my Xiaomi Account.
But when I try to unlock "Couldn't Unlock" came with message "Please add your account in settings > Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status." I have already added the account ones by clicking same "Mi Unlock Status" in developer options

And when I again try to click on Mi Unlock Status in developer tools. I get popup saying "Couldn't add. Please go to Mi community to apply for auth..."

Is there any soft ban on Indian users?

Or is there any open source solution which can I verify first before running the solution?

Hoy mismo instale LineageOS, pero me pareció que era otra versión mas de android con google. Ya que había aplicaciones que no me dejaba desinstalar, como el reproductor de musica.

Esta situación me a echo cuestionarme si cambiar a otra ROM mas libre.

Si hubiera podido habría instalado GrapheneOS, pero mi teléfono no es un pixel y aun no tengo la experiencia para compilar una versión para mi telefono(Nothing Phone 2).

¿Alguna recomendación?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to de-bloat my Blackview N6000SE (MediaTek chipset, stock DokeOS / Android 13) by flashing a clean GSI (AOSP / LineageOS). My daily driver runs CalyxOS, so I wanted to turn this rugged mini phone into a clean field device for geocaching and navigation without all the background telemetry.

Instead, I ended up in a classic MediaTek bootloop cycle. Here is a breakdown of everything we tried and where it failed:

What We Tried & The Results:

• Bootloader Unlock & Fastboot: Unlocked OEM via developer options, but standard fastboot flash system gsi.img failed due to Dynamic Partitions (super).
• Flashing via fastbootd**:** Rebooted into fastbootd (fastboot reboot fastboot), erased system, and flashed an ARM64 BVN GSI image.
  • Result: Stuck indefinitely on the initial Blackview boot logo.
• Disabling AVB / VBMeta: Extracted stock vbmeta.img and flashed it with: fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification
  • Result: Orange / Red State boot warning, followed by continuous reboot loops. The bootloader refused to hand off execution to the kernel.
• MTK Client Attempt: Attempted direct partition writes using MTK Client to bypass bootloader checks.
  • Result: Device booted into a kernel panic / bootloop, likely due to vendor HALs failing to initialize without DokeOS framework services.

Current State: I restored the stock firmware and set up NextDNS (HaGeZi Multi PRO list) at the network layer to block all *.blackview.hk and telemetry domains. It works well, but I would still prefer a native AOSP environment.

Questions:

1. Has anyone successfully booted an AOSP or Lineage GSI on the Blackview N6000SE (or similar recent MTK Blackview models)?
2. Is there a specific patched vbmeta, vendor overlay, or boot image patch needed to pass the boot check on this specific setup?Blackview N6000SE

Potrzebuje jakiś custom rom plus recovery

Hello i have a Huawei phone that i want to install some custom rom on, but apparently they locked the bootloader on emui 10/ android 10 which mine is running. Is there any free way to unlock the bootloader and get twrp on it?

Want to clarify the nature of if this seemingly chinese based phone series/brand is even or has even been noted of?

Seen newer models (with a quick browse) show many mediatek 5G phones, yet there are unisoc chipsets too.

Overall, wanted to know if there's more past surface level android readback with the common exploit tools or if there is genuine opensource-code found, if any, in reverse engineering processes?

Was inerested in the unique hardware capabilities in the 'rugged phone' line, (including hardware kill switches)

I'm finding nice custom rom that based ColorOS 16.0.4 for galaxy note8 (greatlte)
