There is a dev by the name of OMA who does loads of ROMs for rockchip tablets. He has ROMs on XDA and his own website also. He helped me when i bricked my RK2198 .Just google him.

Use finless rom for the RK3168, i think the topic starter can use the same.

[Q] Phone no more recognized by the PC after installing ROM

Hi.
First of all, thanks for all you great people for working and developing for these phones.
Today, for the first time, I flashed my phone. Having android on Wave 2 feels great!
I installed CarbonRom but I'm not entirely satisfied with it and wanted to try to install some other ROM (like ZenDroKat, I heard good things about that one) and run into a problem. I noticed that my PC doesn't see the phone at all! There is no reaction, not sound when connecting the phone. I tried the front and the back usb-ports, and on our family laptop. The multiloader doesn't find the port either.
Although it did react in recovery mode (TWRP) and installed drivers for "Android Composite ADB Interface", whatever that is.
Or could I install a new ROM without trying to fix this?

Once i had a problem detecting my phone , i was so frustrated : what worked with me , maybe this sound silly but :
Does your phone charge with the USB cable :
if yes in mini USB port there is a tongue inside , trying raising it a little with a sharp metal
if no , maybe your cable is the problem .
between that and this , probable you can install Omni rom , by copying the rom to sdcard if you have external card reader , since you have already TWRP installed.

Thanks.
I did figure it out. Well, I didn't fix it on CarbonRom but I managed to install another ROM. The USB worked in Download Mode, so I just re-installed Bada and then installed ZenDroKat ROM. For now it seems to work fine.
Now, is there a way to delete your own threads?

I have Windows 8 on my computer, when I update my windows with connected phone it shows Acer updates in Microsoft update menu. I update all, and after my computer didn't recognize my phone. Then I delete Acer drivers and it recognize again

Yeah, I'm having issues with ZenDroKat. Namely, it often refuses it go out of sleep mode, I missed phone call due to that.
I'm going to try Omni then, thanks for advice. There are so many roms, it is hard to determine which one is better at a first glance.

Short development history: by Rebellos
The project has been started by Oleg in March 2011 - development progress has been made rapidly by him, however, he had been using JTAG Riff Box to make Wave oneNAND memory organisation the same like in Samsung Galaxy S (SGS) I9000 - phone with very similiar hardware to Wave. The problem is it's very expensive and advanced stuff. In the meantime mijoma found security hole in Wave's Bootloader3 (BL3) FOTA loading code and made PoC-exploit for that. That allowed me to create, with help of srg.mstr, mijoma and b.kubica, simple Badadroid bootloader, loading kernel zImage from moviNAND flash memory - this is where port has been made bootable on literally any Wave phone. However, oneNAND layout still remains untouched and by default kernel is configured to use SGS oneNAND partitions. So nbates66 and anghelyi put all their efforts into making this method of booting operatible. It succeed after few days and ShadowAS1 had released unofficial tutorial explaining how to bring up pre-alpha Android into S8500 device. The problem was that only 1 bootloader version was supported this time, mijoma came up with idea of making our FOTA bootloader capable of supporting alot of bootloaders - he created "BL Univ Boot FOTA". Oleg became very busy with his real life stuff so kernel development practically stopped. Currently I'm the most active kernel developer, altough I'm not so experienced as Oleg is and I'm learning from scratch so it goes very, very slow.
December 2011 - KB_Jetdroid contacted me and we started to work on Jet&Wave modem driver.
April 2012 - mikegapinski has joined the project to get things together and make first really working ROM.
9 April 2012 - Mike got ICS platform booting.
Mike has stopped maintaining platform so I took it over.
Oleg has finally got S8530 in his hands and made SCLCD driver for it. Praise him!
Both S8500 and S8530 versions are semi operatible. The most complicated, annyoing, and needed driver is Modemctl+RIL.
March 2013 - World's first working non-AT commands based RIL for non-Android phone has been released. Most of the implementation was done by KB_Jetdroid, me and Volk204, basing on opensource Replicant's RIL for Samsung Galaxy S.
April 2013 I finally fixed S8530 display driver.
September 2013 - we've got working microphone recording, and shortly after Tigrouzen found a proper patch fixing voice communication during calls.
22 September 2013 - we released first version capable of multicalls.
~~October 2013 - GPRS connections are working
Currently most of the core work is done.
We are working hard with Volk204 on RIL interface, doing small progress day by day.
en very brief : there was one team , that did all the work since the start ,"the Badadroid team" , Badaroid developed by Rebellos and Volk204 was a base for Omnirom ported by volk204 which he is the main developer now , and all those rom you see is basically noob roms , they copy the work of Volk204 , they are actually no developers in the first place, if Volk204 doesn't fix the bugs in his roms , their roms has them . i would recommend

Thanks, that's quite interesting.
It's amazing that you people are still developing for these phones. They are so outdated that I wouldn't have guessed that anyone bothered with them.

Why would anyone want to keep bada? Isn't the main reason to install android-based ROM to get rid of that awful system? :laugh:

THIS IS AN ALPHA, RELEASED FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH AND GET A SENSE OF WHAT’S TO COME. AND SOME THINGS DOESN’T WORK. REALLY. IF YOU ARE EXPECTING ANYTHING CLOSE TO PERFECTION, WALK AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR AN HOUR OR SO, THEN COME BACK. MORE EXCITING DISCLAIMERS/WARNINGS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS CAN BE FOUND BELOW. READ THEM.
KNOWN BUGS (what doesn't work):
- Modem in 2G mode work incorrect(Network registration don't work with some SIM cards, permanent full signal straight, problem is with audio in calls)
With 3G all is OK, Use this: Settings -> More.. in "wireless&network" category -> Mobile Network -> Preferred Network type -> 3G only
- Conference Calls
- Some problems with audio codec settings, but generally it should
For me : Call diverting , not working
GPS not fully working
Roms is amazing , fast , but not so fast when installing Gapps ,(i did install them , but i disable all of it)
Battery life
don't get me wrong Omni is my daily rom , but this could be a problem if talk to much on phone , battery drop out fast , with average use it won't last 10 hours

Pixel C Meltdown/Spectre

Hey guys,
I'm running Rexmix OS on my Pixel which means that i won't get an security update for Meltdown/Spectre...
Can i just put an fixed Kernel on it and go on with my marshmallow based Remix?
I found this one: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+/android-tegra-dragon-3.18-oreo-r6
I couldn't find out if it even has the fix...
How do i flash it, I'm used to the one file fasboot flashing stuff :/
And btw does anybody know if Phoenix OS (seems like they are continueing the Remix OS) has planned to support Pixel C (they didn't reply to my email...)?
sry for all my n00b questions

could please somebody just tell me if i CAN update the kernel and keep the os? ...

I think kernels are specific to devices and android versions. So as long as the kernel you use is for the pixel c and the same android version as the rom you use, it should work. That said,you might struggle to find a pixel c kernel with fixes to those vulnerabilities...
Good luck, let is know if it works..

We are only vulnerable to Spectre you'd have to pull the patches from the common tree and merge in

live is a risk (spectre)?
ok thanks a lot for the answeres, guys; good to know that meltdown doesn't affect the pixel
since the only thing i know is copy and paste, i guess that's it for me :silly:
still didnt get an answer from the phoenix OS guys :/ I guess they are busy enough already
So whats your guys opinion: could I just stay on my remix OS marshmallow, be carefull using the web and untrusted app sources and just deal with the spectre thread? Live is a risk? :silly:
btw: are you guys cool with aosp roms? Personally i use the pixel like a laptop so normal android with the status bar and the weired button setup seems very unhandy for me...

I am Stock Oreo with freeform windows enabled via adb and "taskbar" app installed from play store to launch apps in freeform mode and quiet happy. Stock freeform is buggier than the implementation found on RemixOS or PhoenixOS but I get the latest android version, on the upside. RemixOs is dead and PhoenixOS doesn't even have a pixelC version, I think..
If you are worried about security , you can root and install a custom kernel too..

Asteroid OS no thread?

Ahoi!
Thought there was a Thread ,but did not Found any.
This seems to be a good Project

How is it?
Tempted to give it ago.

I'm tempted to try it out but it seems like I'll lose a lot of the functions that's built in

I also still get 2-day battery life on my watch and asteroid OS says that it'll only be around 7 hours

Jep,Battery Time is to bad

Anyone tested a newer Build ? (if something is even there)

For Asteroid OS, I would choose LG watch R or LG watch Urbane, since they are afforable, around 50 USD on ebay, and the belong to the best supported devices for Linux Asteroid OS:

Has anyone manage permanent install on the Sony SW3? In Linux I do not know where to find the ext2sim package. In Windows it will not show up as a fastboot device.

It seems that there is currently an issue with a permanent install. On Linux I managed to solve it by patching img2simg. You can download the source code here: https://github.com/MagneFire/android-simg2img. Compile that and use the compiled img2simg instead of ext2simg to convert the image to a sparse image.
The issue you describe on Windows seems related to missing drivers you might want to try and install this fastboot driver: https://developer.sony.com/file/download/fastboot-driver/.
See https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid/issues/161 for some more background info.

Question Dual booting Windows 11 or running virtualized

Hi all,
As we know MS has released and has been maintaining an ARM version of Windows for a while now, I was curious if anyone knew if it was possible to dual boot the ARM version? If dual booting isn't an option, what would be the best way to run it? I'm not worried about performance as such, as it's not something I plan to really use until KVM is supported for more than the pixel anyway, I was purely looking to test and see how it would look on such a device.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Dual booting is 99.999% won't work - the ARM image maintained by Microsoft is incredibly limited and lacks a lot of drivers, drivers that one would need to write from scratch, since they don't exist for Windows.
Virtualizing it would be possible on Android 13's new built in emulation stack, but you'd still need to root the phone for that, and beyond losing warranty in many places, you'd also lose access to a number of functions.

Has anybody on the Android 13/OneUi 5 Beta managed to root their device and try if the KVM feature works on the Z Fold 4?
