Hi guys,
New guy here, i just bought a mi A2 Lite,
Since it's brand new, i wanted to take the occasion to install Magisk and Gcam before migrating my stuff to it,
Sounds like a plan, but i am slightly confused by the amount of guides that i find around,
Can you guys point me in the right direction, pointing me to the guides that are correct to install magisk and Gcam on Pie?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I'm a brazilian owner of a Motorola Defy and have been looking to upgrade it to cyanogen since the day I bought it. Then I learned Motorola was somewhat working on a official 2.3 update and decided to wait and see the results. That was months ago.
So I decided to finally take a step and try CM7. Thing is, I'm a completely newbie in android (this is my first phone wich uses the system), so a lot of things in the guides simply don't make sense to me. Can anyone explain me some things?
1. Can I upgrade it to the last CM7 build without losing the ability to move it back to official 2.2? How?
2. If not, will I be able to change to the official 2.3 when it comes out?
3. Will the system be 100% portuguese?
4. I'm colorblind and don't know my lense color. My phone is somewhat new but I would like to be sure wich is my camera before changing the system. Is there a way to do that without looking at the lense? (I heard about red camera doing noises when switching on and etc.)
Last, can anyone guide me through the upgrade process, from the very start?
Android version: 2.2.1
Version number: 3.4.2-107_JDNL-9
Thanks for your time and sorry for the bad english/yet another newbie request.
some help for you

as for the color of lens have a friend look at it for you.
The rest of your questions are covered in the forums. But yes you can go back to an official rom by flashing it using RSD lite.
Happy flashing

Hi,
the model of your lens is not related to a color.
In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116694, this post gives you an easy way to find out which lens you have :

I'll check these links *again*. Most of my doubts still exist but thanks for the effort, anyway.

Thanks hervelo,
did you try this method yourself? I ran the app and followed the instructions but could not find any "cameracommon" entry. I haven't really understand what he meant with the emoticons..
Yes i did and it works, don't forget to launch and exit the camera (4 and 5) and it should work. I have made this mistake the first time.

Found out I had a lot of processes going on and the cameracommon entry was being forgotten faster than I was searching for it.
But hey, it says I have BAYER device. It means I have a red camera, isn't it?
Not necessarily RED but it means that you should be able to record 720p. I have a BAYER lens too but I did'nt try any hack to do it. I am waiting for the right CM7 nightly to make it work.
Ok, I got it. Thanks for the help and good news, I'm a lot more confident now. Gonna wait for the rest of my questions to be answered now, like the language one
I am french and the french version is pretty good. My point of vue is that the quality of the translation will depend on people reporting for mistakes.
Anyway, read carefully the documentation chem57guru gave you, the FAQ is really complete, so it should answer almost all of your questions.
Good luck.
Hello guys, I was looking for Xposed on Meizu M2 but the latest guides over the web are already outdated. So I ask for a safe and easy solution for install this great framework into a even more popular Meizu device.
Now that Meizu it's selling officially in Europe I think we need a non Chinese app to do the job. I seen those apps over the web but at the time that I'm writing something is changed and I'm not sure it is still safe to use.
PS: for moderators, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, move it if needed

Hi, I was silly and didn't check the device compatibilities of LineageOS before buying a new phone. I bought the Motorola Moto g5s.
I now see that this is not on Lineage's list of compatible devices. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to install Lineage on my phone and if you have any links? Or if you know whether this is possible or not for me? (I'm not very tech so would need a tutorial to follow like the ones on the Lineage website).
Also, if anyone could tell me if an OS for the motog5s plus would be compatible with a motog5s?
Thank you so much
You can use the search bar to seek on this forum, i'm sure you'll find some usefull stuff for your device.
By the way, ther are one unnoficial build of LineageOS

Hi all,
I'd like to install Lineage OS on a Wiko Sunny Marshmallow 6.0, kernel 3.18.19.
Lurking around I found the GM CAdiom page, but nothing there that linked to downloads.
I also found in other sites the lineage-14.1-20180307-UNOFFICIAL-z5 and the lineage-14.1-OMS-20180308-UNOFFICIAL-z5 version, but I'm wandering if they are really compatible, as I see that specific ports do exist for a large variety of other phones.
Moreover I have yet not clear the install procedure, as it's said to install on the SD card ad then flash it. Those packages
are zipped, so instead of flashing I'm expected to "install zip"...
I have also seen the Robanoid post, where there are no replies...
Please, can anyone explain it to me?
TIA

I don't think there is any chance for SUNY wiko. Buy a different device.
Hello Everybody!
Sorry for this dumb and silly Question, i'm looking for a ROM that contains notching of the original Xiaomi Firmware exept the device drivers you need. Maybe ist flashable with the SP Flash Tool?
I'm not a Dev and just learning by reading and doing/testing with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. Such an amazing device! I love it!
My Siutuation: I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (Global Version) with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM. I buyed it second hand over the Internet (with the in the original box, with charger, cables, in-ear headphones. manual and a bill from a Xiaomi shop in Praque/Czech Republic (I live in Vienna and for me it's not possible tovisit this store) but as it arrived here i had to notice that the Google Account was deleted but the MI-Account wasn't.
In my own dumbness i've done a factory reset and BAAAAMM the Xiaomi FRP Protection looked my device. After weeks of reading and learning i managed it to Downgrade ist from MIUI 12.0.6. to MIUI 10.4.1. and unlocking it from the FRP-Lock (if somebody facing the same Problem, i can help).
Now i'm searching for a Costom ROM that contain nothing from the original Xiaomi Firmware because the most of the original Xiaomi Apps are quite useless for me and just trash i cannot remove and i have to prevent the phone of connecting the Xiaomi servers to prevent a relock of the phone.
Another Problem is the looked bootloader wich i cannot unlock in the noprmal way, maybe someone has a solution to unlock the bootloader without this Xiaomi App?
By the way, xiaomi customer support is worster then worse, i tried to explain my problem on the phone hotline and email support with no success, seems they are not willing to help anyway as the seller of the phone too (he forget his password, lost the sim card with the telephone number the MI-Account belongs to and forgot the password of the email adress he setted up the xiaomi account. A big mess!
If you plan to buy a Xiaomi phone you should make sure that the Google Account and the Xiaomi MI-Account is deleted or you have to face some big trouble.
Anyway, my device is running and i can use it but i cannot use his full potential and this is very sad and dissappointing for me.
i would appricate every little bit of help i can get!
I hope its the right Forum here for my Problem, if not please feel free to move the threat to the right place or delete it if its tooo silly and dumb!
Thank you anyway!
Your situation is the worst thing that can happen when you buy a xiaomi phone second hand. I am truly sorry for what happened. I don't really know how you would flash a custom ROM with SP Flash Tool. I find hard to believe only replacing system.img and boot.img will be enough, but you can sure try. You might want to join the telegram group where people are more active: t.me/RedmiNote8ProOfficial
About custom ROMs, you can safety flash the latest ones with no wories. I would recommend Pixel Experience as it's stable and provides you all the functionability out of the box. No problems with banking apps or nfc paying apps. All custom ROMs are not bounded to xiaomi firmware and you will use your new phone with no worries.
NON CFW ROMs will be your choice because those are the latest and best.
I really hope you succed! Good luck!
