THANKS to all who donated up to now! its appreciated, and shows that people like the extras added...
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if you brick your tablet..​

Reserved for future use..

This will be very helpful for a lot people. Great of you to put this together for everyone!

Just curious, what's the advantage of having the superuser app when the device is rooted out of the box?
I look forward to seeing what else can happen with this device, and would be happy to test if needed.

although its already in non-secure mode, the apps that run "su" dont recognise it, so the root app is required together with its "su" command.
and it actually also have the advantage of you being in control of which apps get root access..
although your "adb shell" is in a root shell, the apps running still has non-su rights to the system, otherwise its would be pretty open as well and without much security.

I went ahead and applied version 1.0a over 1.0. I didn't take the time to do a backup so I didn't wipe/factory reset first. Everything went well, but calendar still gets a force close upon launch (not a problem for me, I don't need it). I may go ahead and wipe it and reinstall 1.0a, but I'm very happy with it as is for now.
Thanks again for making this rom! I'll hit that donate button for sure.

Thanks Dexter, tossed a donation your way.

I couldn't get root access back so I'm rerunning the update after a full wipe of data and cache. I will let you know how it goes.

Couldnt install the su zip file it put on my sd either..

I couldn't get SU to update either (placed on SD card as update.zip, but no joy). Just for grins I tried Z4root too, it went through the motions but no root. I tried to use Titanium Backup to install busybox. It downloaded the binaries but nothing changed.

I cant see what the problem is... dex any ideas?
I may flash the offocial update, reinstall the modified build.prop, and reinstall market.

The was a post somewhere in the BJ's 299 thread about busybox not installing correctly due to differences in the directory structure on this device, which caused loss of root.

This didn't work... other than this superuser permissions being messed up everything else works stellar!
If we don't have anything soon, I'll flash back and poke around with the modified build.prop on the official build.
Edit: Reinstalled the official elocity update and got my root back, installed gapps, now updating build.prop. Hopefully this gets me all the market fixes minus that Su thing. Superuser app is available in the market too. Report back soon.

So you're basically just using the build prop settings out of this rom with the factory update? I went back to version 1.0 for now.

Yeah pretty much!... did you not have the SU issues with version 1.0? If not I'll just update to that. I can't get Bank of America or Tasker to install even using the build.prop from the ROM, there's something other than the fingerprint in this ROM making the magic happen.

Titanium back up reports root access with V1.0 and I can get the # at the prompt in terminal. Lots of other apps that wouldn't install with the eLocity update install just fine with it too.

im a little confused..
i added the "su" command to the build, it never was there...
i added Superuser.apk as well.. and if you're trying to add those on top , you might corrupt it, and also,
VERY IMPORTANT filesystem has 0 bytes free, so any copying will probably corrupt the su command or other copied files..

Does this rom support ad-hoc wifi tether?

[APP][CM9][AOKP]Google Now for ARM7 Devices[UPDATED]

Requirements:
Follow the simple instructions here.
You MUST be rooted
You should be running a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP). I use CWM, so this guide is based on that.
Your device must be using ARMv7 CPU architecture. If you aren't sure what that is, check this thread.
You must have a file explorer that has root permissions. I use ES File Explorer, so this guide is based on that.
You need at least 60MB of system space for the full offline installation. (30MB for online only version) If you don't know how to check, simply download Titanium Backup from the market. It tells you right on the main screen.
If you are not a noob and know what to do already, please skip this. The permissions are listed at the bottom for easy reference, should you need them.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Download whichever zip you want. If you need to save /system space, download the the smaller, online-only package, otherwise get the normal one for the full experience. There is also a version of each which removes the "double-take" condition of the app. This is where it loads the results twice. The one that loads the results twice formats search results properly on the first try, but does not auto launch some cards. The non-double-take version may not format some search results properly, but auto launches tasks such as navigation and texting. Choose whichever one you prefer. If you have questions, please don't quote this entire post. Simply edit out the part you have a question about.
Update: Each version listed has the full version and the Offline only version. Pick the one you want and flash it. If you aren't sure which one to use, or if this is too much information or is otherwise overwhelming for you, just flash the M7 version - Offline/Online, since it's the latest. Be sure to scroll down a bit and read about it, though.
Before doing anything, you need to make sure you have at least 60MB of free space on your /system partition for Offline/Online files and 30MB of free /system space for Online Only files.​
Flashable ZIPs

How to:
- Move the file you picked to the root of your SD card. Don't put it in any folder. This just makes it easier to find.
- Reboot your device into recovery. See your device's specific instructions on how to do this if you are not sure. Google it for a faster answer.
- In CWM, navigate to "Install zip from SD" and select that.
- Next, highlight "Choose zip from SD card" and select it.
- Scroll down to the Google Now zip you loaded onto your SD card, then select it.
- Scroll down and select the option that says "Yes - Install Google Now....zip"
- Once it has flashed, go back to the main CWM menu and select "Reboot system now".
Double Checking:
- Let the ROM boot all the way, then fire up ES File Explorer (or whichever one you feel like using). We need to make sure a few permissions stuck (just in case).
- If you haven't used ES File Explorer before, open it, then hit menu.
Tap settings, then scroll all the way down.
Check the box that says "Up to Root" (pic).
Then check the box that says "Root Explorer"
Allow root access when the dialogue box for Superuser pops up.
After that, check off "Mount file system", then back out of the menu. (pic)
- Navigate to /system/usr/srec/ and find two folders named "config" and "en-US"
- Tap and hold on the "config" folder icon to bring up the options menu, then scroll down to Properties.
- Tap properties, then tap change and see if the check boxes match this picture.
- If it matches, leave it alone and head back to your home screen to enjoy using Google Now! If it doesn't match, change it so it does.
- Do the same thing for the "en-US" folder.
- Go into the settings menu for Google Now and set it up for your Google account and various other settings.
Now What?
So, you flashed Google Now. You're wondering what you can do with it, right? Well, thankfully, Killer-B has a handy little guide to get you up to speed on all the cool stuff Google Now can do as well as how to do it!
Commands & Now Cards For Google Now!!! Now Video, and custom widget
Troubleshooting
1.) The red mic screen won't display.
To fix this, press the normal mic within the Google Now app. While it is listening (after it beeps), press menu > refresh. Now you're at the red mic.
2.) Can't exit the Google Now app with the back button.
Use the Home button.
3.) Google Now Force Closes.
Make sure you have enough space on your /system partition before installing this. You need at least 60MB free for the Offline versions and 30MB free for the Online versions.
4.) Sports cards aren't showing up.
It won't add teams that aren't in season. American football is currently in preseason. Baseball, however, works perfectly fine.
5.) I want Google Now in another language than US English.
From the Google Now home screen with the cards, tap Menu, then Settings. Tap Voice, then Language and select the language you want recognized. The text of Google Now in searches and regular cards should mirror that of your system language.
6.) My phone exploded.
Have a muffin.
If, for some reason, you want to remove Google Now and return to how you were before, flash the following zip. It removes all Google Now files, and returns the original Google Search app and voice files, as well as sets permissions for the Search app.

thanks.. but I mean is the "updateM7.zip" or others.. I downloaded it and there's a /system/app/velvet.apk what for it is? update for the M7?

In flashable zip contains velvet apk (google now itself) and many libs for it.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2

I think R3 (update) is not different with M7 (not updated), I always refresh to show more card and stuck on white screen, I flashed M7 2 weeks ago before R3 (from original thread)
and R3 I've got FC everytime I launched the app, so revert back to M7 + updated
thanks for sharing mate

[F31xx][F32xx][APP] MTK EngineerMode

Hi,
As you probably know we can't acces to the hidden menu "EngineerMode" to increase the speaker volume... until now
I succefully modified the app to work on rooted XA :good:
I will not explain how to use this dangerous menu, you can find many guides for that.
How to install:
- Download the attached zip, copy the 3 folders to "/system/app" and reboot.
- On the phone dialer enter *#*#3646633#*#*, the menu will appear.
- Don't forget to make backups of your partitions before playing with this !
Some features are greyed because of missing apps, I don't know if it's usefull to try to add them ?

Yes you right, just tested on the last firmware and no changes in volume level. On my previous tests I'm sure it worked but on what firmware version and as said before when worked my rom was heavily modified. Maybe it need something more to work, I will try to find why.

Hi,
This thread was created on december 2016, you have to downgrade your phone to a Marshmallow firmware older than that.
I don't remember if it works on later M firmware but I'm sure that will not works on Nougat.

Thanks for the answer despite the old thread.
Is there no way to access it in the Nougat firmware? What a bullsh*t Sony did with that then.
To downgrade the phone I would need to get the MM Firmware from anywhere. Do you have any link for it? Would reformatting and flashing it through TWRP be enough to get it to boot?

There is probably a way to acces it with Nougat but you have to find updated MTK apps.
To downgrade you have to download the firmware with Xperifirm inclued in Flashtool. Be careful with Flashtool, read/watch guides on how to flash firmware to avoid hard brick.

Spotify Unlimited Skips [ROOT or ADB]

Hello, XDA! Today, I'll be showing you how to get unlimited skips/song select in Spotify on the OnePlus 5.
Code:
/*
If you are rooted or you have adb enabled and installed
on your computer, skip to the bold section of this post.
If you don't have this done or you don't know how to
do this, read the whole post.
*/
This will require root (root guide for OnePlus 5 here, I recommend using Magisk and not SuperSU.) or ADB.
To enable ADB, just scroll down in Settings to About phone, scroll all the way to the bottom and press Build Number 7 times; this will activate Developer Mode. Go back to the main page in Settings, Developer Mode is near the bottom. From Developer options, you can activate USB debugging (which is ADB). You can download Android SDK Platform-Tools from here. Extract the .zip, go into the folder named platform-tools, and open CMD or Terminal (CMD for Windows, Terminal for Mac/Linux) and drag ADB into the CMD/Terminal to run ADB.
Code:
adb shell
would be
Code:
(drag adb file here) shell
but would show up as something like
Code:
/Users/username/Downloads/platform-tools/adb shell
Once you have rooted or enabled ADB, you can download a new app called jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] from the Play Store. jOnePlus is a modding application for the OxygenOS 4.5.x.
When you open jOnePlus Tools, it will ask for SuperUser Rights (if you are rooted). Select Grant to allow it to 'change' the system. It will then bring up a message that says Permission Denied and it will tell you to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS by running
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
over USB. You can either connect your phone to your computer over USB and enable USB Debugging and run
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
on the computer. If you are rooted, you can skip the whole ADB step; just press GRANT WITH ROOT.
Once you've enabled permissions with adb or root, press the gear icon near the top right, press General, and then Enable experimental features. Go back to the main screen of jOnePlus Tools and press the square-circle shape near the top-middle of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and press 4k (2160x3840). It will lag a bit for about 20 seconds at most. Close Spotify if open. Now launch Spotify. (If your home screen appears to be messed up or corrupted, DON'T FRET! It may be confused because your device is telling it a different resolution. This is temporary.) If you can't click on home screen icons correctly, you can hold the home button to launch Google Assistant and say Open Spotify. When you launch Spotify, it should allow you to have unlimited skips/song select. This is because your Spotify sees your screen size as 2160x3840, a tablet size. The tablet version of Spotify has unlimited song select and skips. Spotify only checks your screen size when it launches, so you can go back to jOnePlus Tools and put you resolution back at Full HD (1080x1920) Default. If you close Spotify, you may need to change your resolution back to 4k again before launching if you want unlimited skips/select (and then back to Full HD Default after launching).

Pretty much yeah, you need a VPN only to register an account (and pay for the premium package).

Pretty much yeah, you need a VPN only to register an account (and pay for the premium package).

You don't have to get premium, just register the account with a VPN and every month log in to that account from an IP where Spotify is available (it resets the 30day limit for free users)

Yes it is regularly updated, it even has its own updater app on the GitHub page. It also has adblocking in it.

I downloaded the app from the official website and it works great, but GitHub has no code.

Dude, read the download page or even the readme.md on GitHub - it tells you where it is
https://github.com/sergiocastell/spotify-dogfood/releases here is the direct link for it

My experience - CAOS R 300l+ (Android 11) Stable so far.

Hi all.
I wanted to share my experiences with you all.
I have the last couple of days run this rom as my daily driver - and I must say, that this is by far the best I have tried yet.
The rom is very fast and so far all features that I have used have worked perfect right out of the box.
I will link you to the rom and write a short guide to how I made it stable and usefull.
Hope more of you will enjoy running Android 11 (R) on your P20 Lite - Mine is ANE-LX1 hw/eu but this should run on all versions.
First som screenshots from my phone:

Links to files:
set-bl-key_TishSerg4pda - https://drivemere.com/drive/ne
TWRP-oreo-smart.img - https://drivemere.com/drive/nf
CAOS R 300I+ ROM - https://drivemere.com/drive/ng
Ekstra:
Netflix apk (this one will work on android 11) - https://drivemere.com/drive/nd
NB: None of these files are created by me so please help support the creators by donating to maintain their work.

Guide:
Requirements: Unlocked phone - Guess you alle have this by now.
I started off from EMUI 9.1.0.370.
First off i installed the TWRP from bootloader to ramdisk_recovery.
fastboot flash ramdisk_recovery TWRP-oreo-smart.img
Then boot phone to recovery
(Star phone - in eRecovery choose to reset to factory default - type in "yes" and the phone will boot to TWRP.
In TWRP go to "wipe" -> advanced -> Select Dalwik Cache, Cache, Data and System. Swipe to wipe.
Now go to install -> select img -> choose CAOS image and flash to "system image" - DO NOT REBOOT SYSTEM!
Select wipe -> slide to factory reset.
Now you can boot the phone to the startup-screen.
Set up the phone and go to Play Store. Install the app named Treble Info (just search it)
Look in the app to what kind of "Treble and VNDK" used by your phone - Mine was using VNDK version 28.
This next part is a bit tricky!!
Boot to the recovery (as described above -> eRecovery -> factory default -> TWRP recovery.
Now go to mount - make sure that "system" is selected.
Go to advanced -> File Manager.
Now go to folder system -> system -> system_eks -> apex
You will most likely find som folders named (xxx=something):
xxxx.vndk.27
xxxx.vndk.28
xxxx.vndk.29
xxxx.vndk.current
Since my was using 28 I could chose to enter folder .27 and mark the blue folder in the down right corner
Choose to delete folder.
This will free up approx. 1GB system memory to install apps on the phone.
I hope you will like this rom as much as I have during the last week.
Please leave any feedback..

It has been many years, I haven't uploaded rom. I hope I succeed without any problems. thanks

Tried afternoon "caos-v300l-210117-arm64-bvZ.img.xz" ROM, I installed it like any other GSI Treble ROM - flashing extracted .img file from fastboot & factory reset.
Maybe it's an easier way...

tried this myself.. wouldn't boot.. but through TWRP there was no problem
Might be working for some to flash it directly from fastboot:
fastboot flash system "caos-image-file".img
Anyway -still need the TWRP to delete the files from system folder - som might as well use it when it's available

You can simply use root explorer (Solid Explorer etc.)

Well.. only if you root the ROM first. This one is not rooted by default. (I prefer it like this) so if you follow my guide - TWRP is the way to do it.
Yes there might be more ways to go there but I wanted to do a simple step-by-step guide easy to follow for beginners.

Is that supposed to be a joke?
caos-v300l-210110-arm64-bgZ - "Z" means that the ROM is pre-rooted with SuperUser and there's is an option turn on/off root in phone settings.

It's such a waste of time. Have a nice day!

Where in settings should this be? Looked all over.. can't seem to find it..
Nevermind - found it.
Forgive me - it's been 10 years since I last worked with Android ROMs.. a lot has happened since then..

This might be a weird beginner question. But in description of rom image i find the AOSP sounds were replaced with Q Google ones. But I can not find any one of them. No notification, ringtone, alarm sounds present on the phone. Why is that? Where can I find them?
I used caos-v300l-210117-arm64-bgZ-lite.img using fastboot install over stock 9.1.0.374.
Sure, I could use 3rd party apps for that, but I hate to use them.

Everything can be found in "audio"folder. Go root/system/product/media/audio , you can copy sounds to the int.storage using root explorer (e.g. Solid explorer) .
