Had a bust up with my missus and threw my phone at the wall, none of the hardware buttons at the bottom work but amazingly the touchscreen is fine so onto Ebay it goes. . . sob sob
MOD EDIT: no eBay links
Lesson learned, dont lose temper and throw something less expensive than my Desire.
I'll have to remember that so I can get myself a new phone. I like how in your ad how you say you "dropped" it
From my HTC Desire AIO
Sorry to hear about ur phone... did you have a cover on? I had a close incident the day after getting my phone ... had it in my pocket, was changing and forgot about it so flinging my pants set it sailing halfway across the room .... end result? Not a single scratch on the phone but the cheap 10 dollar cover was open. I put it back together and that was the end of it

You say potato, I say patato
If the phone took that kind of beating, I cant imagine how beat up the wall must be
Good to know if I would like to buy a new phone, this is a decent way to get rid of this one.

Well the bad news was that I still had 3 months left to run on my contract and did not want to commit to another 2 years with only a half decent upgrade when I might be able to get a nice quad core in a few months so had to pay to cancel the contract and am now resigned to using an old flip phone with P.A.Y.G until I take out a new contract.
So all in all, not the cleverest thing I've done, still I'm mighty impressed that the touchscreen not only survived without a scratch but works perfectly.
R.I.P my old desire, you served me well. Thanks to all the devs for all the amazing roms I've tried. Your hard work and efforts to keep the Desire in the game are much appreciated. Its been a great ride
Thank you for your post, learnt a lot, i won't try to broke a wall with my phone any more
One time when I was kinda drunk I apparently threw my Desire onto a hard wood floor a few times and it still seems fine =) Happened 3 months ago or so.

Sorry, man!
You should mention the app in your eBay listing--maybe you'll get a few bucks more than you would otherwise.
No surprise. Mine got a few bumps jumping out of my pocket. On a road, yes, that "bad" road with those big stones in it from a pocket height no cover on the phone and right on a corner >> just a scratch in that corner. Then the same on a tile >> another scratch, another corner. Then, sitting on a a chair phone fall down a on lino flat way (right on a screen), no scratch or whatsoever but the screen was not working till that moment... 120 euro repair.. Bad luck..
You should have tried to throw it to wall for a second time!
I know one person who first watered his Desire Z, and it didn't work even altough he drained it well. But then his young girl took his phone in his hands and threw it to wall and.. It began to work! Sometimes a little shock can do miracles
Download "unwall.img" from Firegooglehoo, rename PB99IMG.zip and place on your SD.
Reboot and you will have a shiny brand new Desire box sealed and loaded with new ICS ROM.

...they change their old phone for a new one?
I mean, I've had my galaxy s2 for a year now, and it's been my trusty sidekick, never any problems, complete powerhouse and nothing has really made me want to change in that year until the One X which I will be getting later today.
I just feel that somehow I am betraying my sg2, it is still in pristine condition, has been flashed with different roms multiple times, mods etc... we've been through a lot together - I can feel it looking at me with it's sad super amoled plus eyes.
If the one x provides as half a good an experience as my sg2 has then I'll be a happy man. The sg2 is going to the mrs and I can already see how it'll be getting thrown into her bag with keys and other random objects rather than being safe in my pocket.
Be well old friend
Will feel similar with my HD2, though not at the same level as the SGS2 in terms of hardware, but our bonding is much older (since 2009), been oc'd to 1.5 and have seen Windows, Linux, Mango and got stuck with Android. I'm still quite happy with the first 4.2" multi touch phone and will feel sad to see it converted into just a mobile with songs and games when in the hands of my missus.
Well, I for one will not feel sad at all! That is because I am going from the ageing Desire
It has served me well so far and I am glad I will be staying on the htc bandwagon.

Came in to post almost this exact message. My Desire will be consigned to the phone graveyard of the third draw down in my desk, from which it might occasionally be called back into action, but will mostly be enjoying its retirement
I was really sad when I went from my old SE G502 to Desire...one, because I had never spent that much money on a phone and two, when I pulled it out of the box I thought "What have I got myself into??" But it was step I had to make and got over the initial sadness pretty quickly.
Now...I am saying goodbye to the Desire. Like the OP, it has been my trusty sidekick, I have looked after it like no phone before, rooted, ROM'd, and basically learnt a lot of tech things on this phone. I will still mess with it as Dev continues on that device, but I cannot wait to order a HOX!
I'll be sad, yes, but this is just the next chapter
I'm gonna miss my little Desire S ,never had a prob with it in the past year and it goes like the clappers ;(
No, not really.
I usually pass the old one on to my wife so I still get to give it the occasional tweak. It's not very rewarding though as I have to dress it up to look like an iPhone so she can use it.
I'm currently on a Nokia 6210 Navigator, you can imagine how sad I'll be when my HOX arrives
Wow. I hope one x blows you away otherwise 5+ years is a long time to wait for a new upgrade! For me anyway. lol
probably the wrong place to say this as i know everyone here hates apple, but when i sold my ipad 1 on ebay and had to wrap and ship it, i was sad too!
i had taken it everywhere, and it was in pristine condition, really looked after. used it pretty much every day for hours, and i was one of the first adaptors too (had it bought for me in the US a week or so after launch).
i don't feel that way about my iphone 4 though, its been getting sluggish and the home button is dodgy, and there is nothing special about the phone that i will miss, or that makes it any better or worse than the next phone i get (be it the Note, or the HTC One X, I still havent decided!)
Indeed. It'll be a huge loss to not only myself but my immidiate family when I get a new phone.
I will still pop round to see it at the weekends and sit with it in the garden and pour it some afternoon tea. I'm just glad I still have the memories. I remember ordering a Pizza on the dominos app and.... ohhh... how we enjoying those late night under the duvet while I was knocking one out on the youjizz mobile site.
You never know whats around the corner. Live each day with your mobile phone like its the last, but just remeber all the good times you had together.
As I'm coming from a Legend, I won't be sad at all. Well, thats a lie. It was a great friend for the past two years and no matter how often I dropped it, It's still in a great condition! It will go into my drawer together with my G1 and probaly be forgotten until i go on vacation this summer.
I gave (lent) my Desire HD to my cousin who is trying to develop some android apps and Im using the wifes Desire til the One X arrives (if it arrives, order kept getting cancelled by vodafone system for some reason)

5* post, I whole heartedly enjoyed this
Yeah, I do miss my phone when I send it off for sale.
However, I usually upgrade to a better phone, so that love usually vanishes almost instantly.

I'm going to miss my Desire, I've had it for almost two years now. But the shiny newness of the One X will more than compensate.
I'll miss my desire. It has survived countless drops on the ground, the rare times were I don't check the weather and end up cycling half an hour trough the rain w/o a jacket and many screw ups with roms and mods.
But despite that it's still going strong and still would for more than a year.
Also the fact that I've sanded the brown coating of the aluminium down giving it a total new look doesn't help when I'm looking for a new phone.

Haha I also bought a G502, it's the only phone I've ever bought without contract, so that was my most expensive phone. My next phone also was the Desire, but I didn't feel sad, I was relieved. And guess what my next phone is: a One X
The One X is not that expensive for my, I got a really great deal. A one year contract with 100 minutes + 3000 sms + 1 GB data and I got the phone for free. I pay 38 euro/month for 1 year. Total costs for 1 year contract: 455 euro. The price for the phone without contract: 550 euro
Yep - I'll be coming from an Evo 4g. It got stepped on a few weeks ago and I'm stumbling to the finish line with an old POS phone (as of yet, that phone is undetermined.) The Evo was my first smart phone or even high end phone for it's time. I loved it. That being said, the one X is just better in every respect (especially if the rumors about Sprint's one X coming with a kickstand are true !)
i sent my new one x back because of screen flicker, i recieved the other one today , just checked the files and the wipe they did hadnt wiped everything there is porn movies on the dam phone i am raging , they better sort this out , how do i stand legally ?

As soon as you mention the porn they will do anything to avoid any adverse publicity - you'll have a new phone in your hands by Saturday morning.
If it was me I'd be pushing for some cash as well to compensate for the distress they have caused.

Hi, before I get anywhere else in this thread I must first say thank you. Thank you to all the developers and testers, all the time you spent trying to perfect such a tiny little device meant so much, especially towards the beginning when dealing with MotoBlur was a hassle on its own. You all are very great at what you do, especially in comparison to my own knowledge on android development, which is nothing. :laugh:
Secondly, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, I just set it somewhere where I knew it would have the best chance at being seen. I apologize in advance if I put it in the wrong subforum.
Anywho, the whole reason I made this thread is simple: I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and am no longer in need of my Bravo.
I know I could use it as a backup phone, but to be honest I have an old Samsung Epix that I like to use off and on. Back to Bravo point, I feel like getting rid of it.
It's in fair shape, with no cracks or dead pixels, but with 2 years worth of scratches when using it without a screen protector. It even has a new battery I put in last month. I know it's not perfect, but I imagine someone on here has one in way worse shape, or needs a spare for development purposes.
So, my offer is this: anyone who is interested in this phone needs only to send me a PM with a very brief explanation as to why they'd like it. I'm not some dean of a university requiring a 12 point essay as to why you deserve it more, I'd just like to know what you'd benefit from it.
In return, whoever ends up getting it, I ship it to you, minus the usb cable and SD card. For free. In other words past the PM sent, I would require nothing more.
Is it wrong of me to set this up here? I dunno. I've just seen people discussing their phones in the past as having major cracks and such, or needing to buy another one, and decided giving it away was better than letting it sit and gather dust.
But anyway, if you stuck it out and read the whole thing, and you're interested, thanks for reading.

He was open to PM's on it for a week. I was the only one who replied so I was supposed to get it. He said I'd get in in a week or two -- that was almost 3 months ago and he hasn't logged onto XDA since August 16th. Hopefully nothing bad happened to him, but I'd have liked an "I'm sorry I can't send it PM" versus waiting on it for a month and a half and nothing.
//With his name being Hippyman, he could have easily been pulled over with a bag of "oregano". A buddy of mine got 3 months in county, 2 years probation, and drivers license revoked for 2 years because a state trooper in Arizona found a single weed seed on the floorboard (felony charge).
/csb time -- well, sort of
A few years back, I got an overnight job a Wal-Mart so I picked up my buddy and we went out driving all night (I was getting my body adjusted to overnight hours before the job started). I was stone cold sober, but my buddy had taken 2 xanax bars, a percocet, and a fifth of vodka (I despise pills and will never take them). A (county) cop pulled me over for going 55 in a 35 (I sped up to 55 because I SAW the speed limit sign that said 55 -- I ended up pulling over 3 ft from that sign). While he was searching my car (probable cause because my eyes were red from exhaustion) he found some tobacco on my floorboard from a cigar that was stepped on and I hadn't bothered to clean up (It was my first car and trashed to hell by this time so crap on the floor didn't matter to me by then; got a Mazda Miata a few weeks later).
The cop tried to give me a dui ticket for tobacco on the floor and having red eyes -- but it pissed him off that I could easily pass the sobriety tests - easily passed because I was SOBER.
The cop ended up giving me a speeding ticket cause he couldn't prove I was high (which I wasn't) and made my friend drive us out of that county -- remember that list of crap he had taken above, well, combine that with the fact that my friend didn't have a drivers license. He was totally f***ed up and nowhere in the state of mind to drive a car. I steered the car until we hit the county line a few miles later. Ended up having to pay $250 because I accelerated 100ft too soon.
If you ever go to Arkansas, stay away from Arkadelphia cause the cops their are complete morons. Also, if you ever do get pulled over, have a bag of "oregano", and get searched -- hide it in your damn left hand. I've been searched 3 times now with between a half ounce and two ounces and they have yet to find any of it......I have no idea how they missed the 2 oz in my hand, but they did....

Luckily, I've never been caught, except by my Dad when I was 17 (not smoking, just came home REALLLLLLY high). He ended up taking my stash, then 3 days later after he went through it, he came to me to get him some since it was way better than what he was getting at the time. When I told him it was only 25 a q, he was pissed cause he was having to pay 50 a q for the same. I was loling since connections were better than his.
The closest to actually being caught were the 2 times I was pulled over with quantity that I palmed in my left hand, and this time at school -- I was accused of drinking on campus that day; it was bs, I was drunk the previous day. Anyways, I had 2 packs of smokes and 2 separate halves on me -- one was regular, one was killer -- and on the way up to the office to get searched for the bottle I didn't have, I walked two steps behind the dean and started tossing my stash on top of lockers we went down the hall. Got searched, they found nothing, left the office, recovered everything, and went on with my day as usual. FYI, the one and only day I ever drunk at school was a free day at the end of the third quarter and all my tests were done -- the only thing on the agenda that day was watching movies or sleeping in class -- me and my buddy opted to get drunk. We'd have skipped that day, but if either of us would have one more day we'd be denied credit for the quarter. You could only miss 4 days every 18 weeks....
So there's actual rom crap here.....I flashed Quarx's CM10 Custom Kernel rom for the Defy Plus earlier (unmodified). Runs smooth and great, but the capactive buttons are way off and need to be fixed for normal use, camera didn't work (I expected that), capactive buttons also stay at 100% brightness. I think with a little bit of tweaking it could run great on the Bravo.

Good news on the rom!! and great story for a lazy sunday!
Haha great story. They never took my stash because I said it was all gone but I still haven't smoked it because the drug test me. Anyways, so does the Defy kernel make it a lot smoother than before or does it seem smoother or what?

it's smoother and snappier for a host of reasons - the main one being optimization of the interactive governor with power hal. using any other governor with these builds may cause problems. q is working on 3.0 kernel now

+1 to that. JB with custom kernel runs about as smooth as CM7 ports from back before Quarx supported the Bravo. The only real issue is the capacitive buttons. So far all I've done is grazed over the keylayout files, but they seemed to be the same as CM7 Defy keylayout. Enabling the virtual keys helps, but I'd like to figure out a real fix.
For the fun of it, I attempted to boot CM7 with the custom kernel, didn't work.
Have a working Defy CM7 1104 port (yesterday), bare bones works just fine, but one of PmR's tweaks killed the wifi . Having issues rebuilding framework-res.apk for the animations and some ICS theme elements. Still want to add in PDroid. I'll upload the bare bones rom later today if its wanted.
//Stash was taken cause I fell over the ottoman and it came out of my pocket. Only ever been tested for work; I've passed all but one, they called me for an interview WHILE I was smoking. Did every trick I knew and failed it. If I knew I wasn't going to be watched (first test at that place) I'd have brought clean pee with me. Medicinal MMJ on the ballot tomorrow, hopefully it'll pass since all my smoking anymore is for medicinal reasons -- a single bowl during the day (keeps me from being mean -- being an ass is a family trait of mine) and a bowl or two at night before bed to help me sleep -- once I turned 13 I started to get sleep issues to the point to where I would stay awake for 2-3 days at a time (insomnia sucks). I could take some happy pills and sleeping pills, but pills suck (most pill overdoses are from the chemical that holds the pill together, not the chemical that gets you high or whatever -- read about it, pills are evil). I didn't even take my pain pills from my last 2 breaks (left hand bone below pinky and tailbone) since they didn't even help.
i came back to see how my old phone's forum was doing and how much i miss that close relationship with the devs...and somewhere in that journey...
a **** arkansas!

it's smoother and snappier for a host of reasons - the main one being optimization of the interactive governor with power hal. using any other governor with these builds may cause problems. q is working on 3.0 kernel now

Interactive gov works great, but it does have one bug -- its hard-coded with a max rate of 1Ghz. If you set vsel4 higher than 1Ghz it will bootloop. Switching to boosted allowed me to boot with 300\600\900\1200. Not sure if Quarx knows or not...not many of us OC over 1Ghz. Interactive needs either some tweak settings in the bootmenu or a script that will take the max vsel rate and apply that to interactive's max rate settings....but I just finished syncing with the repos so its time to start a Bravo build .
Huh that's weird. I've been running 1.1 ghz at vsel4 with all the 2nd boot builds.

That is weird, gonna set it to interactive real quick --- booted up and working just fine....I OC'd to 3\6\9\12 and bootlooped 3 times in a row, set to 3\6\9\10 and booted, set to 3/6/9/12 and bootlooped, changed to boosted and booted just fine, just now changed back to interactive and it boots....sigh.

Thank you for working so hard on this device. Living in China as a non-Chinese it is really hard to get a credit card. I will be moving in about a week and have a much better job. Hope I can get a build device together and help you out. Again, thanks for all your work.

I've made this thread since other phones has one too and I've wanted to reply to your post, but I couldn't reply in that thread since we've already went off topic there .
So, you're moving to China? That sounds great. I would like to at least visit China/Japan, but I don't know when that'll happen or if it'll happen.
I'd like to know more about China and I'd like to see pics too. So, if you mind, I'd like you to keep me/us in touch with your journey .
PS: is anybody watching animes?

Visit China is almost a must for me, because I practice kung fu/wushu (north shaolin style).
Yep, I like anime (in fact, I like manga more than anime) but I rarely watch current season, most of the times I watch it later. Exceptions to that was Onepunch-man, Ushio to Tora (first cour), Overlord, My Hero Academia (first cour)... Can't remember others. Do you read manga too? I see you like FT i read it until the end

I never read manga and probably i wont since i prefer watching over reading . I havent heard about the animes youve mentioned.
Those are the animes which ive watched:
1) Yuu Yuu Hakusho - ive watched it when i was kid and it was the first anime.
2) InuYasha - ive watched it when i was kid too, but unfortunately i couldnt watch it always nor ep by ep because it was quite late at TV (i mean the time). However, im planing to watch it (probably after i finish Fairy Tail) since ive enjoyed it so much when i was kid.
3) Sword Art Online 1 & 2 - there were so moments where ive cried, especially in the ending eps.
4) Kuroko no Basket 1, 2 & 3
5) Hunter x Hunter (2011).
6) Naruto and Shippuden - ive cried at this one too (probably ive cried the most at the arc with Zabuza and Haku). Ive watched all the fillers of Naruto, but skipped some of Shippuden ones as i couldnt bear them anymore That time ive said that ill watch them someday, but i havent watched them till now and i doubt that i will.
Ive also watched Naruto Shippuuden: Sunny Side Battle (one ep) in which Itachi is cooking eggs for Sasuke and he is using Mangekyō Sharingan during cooking. It is funny af .
7) Fairy Tail - finished first season and im currently watching second season. I have that XDA avatar and signature with characters from FT because im currently watching it and of course, i like it I havent watched it for some time though and last time ive watched only 1-2 episodes because im at fillers. I dont wanna skip fillers but i also dont feel like i wanna watch them lol.
You can see my anime list by clicking on the gif from my signature and it will redirect you to my MAL list.
I have lived in China for 9 years + at this point. I am married here and have a son. Chinese language was my major at university, hence the move. I am a very white person from the US. Got bored of studying political science so decided to study a language also. Neither is very practical for a career, but it got me here.

Nicee. I don't have a MAL account, as I wouldn't update it lol
SAO and KnB I didn't read or watch. The others I did read or watch or both YYH wasn't my first anime but it was one of them. Braziilian dub was awesome, it is hard to forget it. Hunter x Hunter (2011) is probably one of the best animes I have ever seen and one the best stories I have ever read. Togashi is really a great author.
Naruto I didn't watch all the episodes, but it was the gateway to the manga, which I read entirely. Jiraya death was really sad and, for me, one the best things the author did.
I really like inuyasha and I need to finish reading it hahaha I postponed too much.
My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academi) is a very good shonen. I really recommend it to you, seen that you like good battle shonen. And Onepunch-man is a shonen super hero parody, really funny
About the video, I don't. I have only video which I do Chinese Lion Dance, but I need to find it xD
Yesterday, my Nova fall from hand on the street... I've took it off from my pocket to check the weather and it fall. I don't really know/remember how it fall because it happened so fast lol, but I guess it slipped since it's back is slippery (it fall many times in house because it's slippery, but it can't get damaged in house).
The screen got scratched, maybe not that bad though, but still... The screen is working fine, I mean I didn't have any issues, but when I touch on the scratch it looks like it's flickering in that place (dunno if "flickering" it's the right word though).
It's the first phone I've ever dropped on street... I'm not gonna repair it because I don't know what they'll replace and whether it's original or not (most likely not). Also, I'm not gonna buy a new phone since I don't even have the money for that.
So, be careful with your Nova and never drop it.
Shattered part of my screen after a night out once, results sound similar. Luckily, it is really cheap to get fixed here in China, even at the official Huawei shop. I went with a cheap shop, sure it is not original, but no cracks and works fine
I had the same =/
3 months ago, a friend of mine bachelor party and I put it out of my pocket and a second later was on the floor. It shattered in the bottom right of the screen and is working too. I have to import a screen but as it is working yet, no need to rush.

Some of you have a EMUI 5 backup to share? I'm using bluesmoothie EMUI 4.1 backup after I tried LOS and RR but I want some nougat again. I don't remember why I didn't make a backup and I the file needed to restore my original version
(so I could update from it) isn't available anymore at firmware finder.
Managed to completely brick the device, wont boot at all, nothing, no reaction. Plug into charger, no LED. My advice, do not use dd commands to over write modem partition Will see what the Huawei service center has to say. Was trying to solve an issue of my new SIM being detected, but not connecting to the network.

Did you try to use dd to write modem.img? [emoji33]

That is exactly what I did, and now it wont boot. Huawei service center said no warranty since I had my screen replaced and that I needed a new motherboard, which with their quoted price is about as much as a brand new device
Luckily, there are many other repair shops around and they say they can try to fix it and it is much cheaper. They also mentioned that Huawei service center always just swaps the motherboard and never tries to repair it.
Other choice if that fails is to buy a cheap second hand one (like screen broken) and swap the motherboard.

Once, I bricked my moto x 2014 because I was testing some things with stock and other roms but I forgot that isn't a good thing to take an OTA after updating/downgrading again, because motorola didn't put flags to secure the process. In the end, my bootloader messed up and I had to buy a second hand MB and replace it, because as you said, official repair shop don't try to fix things, they just replace the MB. To sum up, I payed less than the half of the price to put a original one.

Well, it is bricked. Nothing can make it wake up. Got a deal with the shop of 500 CNY, less than 100 USD, to swap motherboard. Remind me not to dd partitions on this phone. I may have also shorted it out by using a needle to open the sim tray.
To be honest, I mostly use my phone for tinkering with it, not many people call/message/other media message to me. I just moved, bricked my phone, and my motherboard is dead on pc as well. I am in a rut with the tech at the moment. I am adventurous, sometimes it is good sometimes not.
One thing, could @#Henkate build a kernel for CAZ models? I ask, if you can't no worries, because my phone was not picking up China Telecom networks, which it should. I messed with apn, well, and modem. It might be kernel or might not be. SIM card is fine in my wife's Vivo phone and China Mobile worked fine in mine. My guess is the kernel is going for CAN and my phone is not that.
Will start again troubleshooting when my phone and new motherboard arrive.
Will now happily add that I fixed my PC. Had to strip it down and rebuild it and now it is fine.
What's up?
I've been busy with studying theory for driving exam (had it on 22 August) and I've failed... I'll try it again though.
Yesterday, my Nova got broken... I've murdered it with my own hands. I've got mad for a reason and then I was playing Naruto game (chinese game). I was losing in row and then I've got pissed off (there's lag because the game server is located in China or something). Then I've put the phone under sofa's corner and I've got on the sofa on legs and jumped once and it got scratched like in the pics attached to this post. I still don't understand how I could do such a stupid thing. There were moments in which I was more mad, but I haven't done anything.
You know, I think the fact that I've broke nova on my own is bothering me more than the fact that I don't have a smartphone.
Right now I'm typing from an Galaxy S3 Neo which is mother's phone, but I can't take it and also it has a crap screen on time (about 3h, maybe battery needs to be replaced) and auto rotation isn't working properly (there's an a workaround though).
I've seen that a new display for Nova costs about 55 euros, but it's prolly fake one and not original. But if phone is working fine with it, then I guess it's okay/acceptable... Also bringing it to a service should cost more (replacement cost or something).
Unfortunately, I don't have the money to repair it right now and prolly it won't happen that soon. I'm not even sure how much it takes to repair it, but I might ask at some services. What's sure is that I won't buy another phone. I mean, I can't even afford to repair Nova right now .
The development is stopped since I can't use the phone anymore. I know that's possible to work without it, but considering that even good devs with good knowledge avoid working on a phone which they don't own and that i have low knowledge, I don't even wanna try that.

Hi man!
This is a sad story. Some times I blame myself too, for not holding my phone right and having now a shattered screen :/ but mine isn't unusable, it is just ugly and not fine.
I bought a new display at vopsmart.com (and two tempered glass screen protector). The sum was 66 dollars, so although you don't have the money right now, I suggest you to take a look. I bought 2 weeks ago and it is already in Brazil waiting for delivery (my neighborhood have a delivery restriction - but I think that I'll receive it this week yet).
I'm sorry about the drive exam. I already took mine, 7 years ago. A lot of friends of mine didn't passed at first. Take your time, you will do it
I'm quitting physics and next year I want to begin study computer science or engineer. So I'm studying to pass the exam and I'm also learning how to program Android apps. So learning how to build rom will take a bit more time.

If you add a paypal account link in your Lineage thread I am sure people would be willing to help out. I know you have a link in your name, but maybe just edit OP of Lineage thread to say, development stopped as phone is broken, please donate to help me fix it.
I have managed to smash my screen and destroy my motherboard. I have replaced both now and the phone is working great on your latest build of LOS. Waiting until my first payday and I will be trying to put together a new PC. At that point I can have a dedicated build machine, but being paid more means more work for me now. That means my time is a little more limited.
Oh, I just found out that magisk works for devices
Magisk works? Tell me the version.
