As I have said, TWRP doesn't boot with this A12 rom. Anyway, updating to a major Android release requires a full wipe. What I always do is backing up my apps using Titanium Backup and restoring them later.
After some weeks not using my X Neo I decided to flash the 6GB modded global rom and, since the crDroid GSI seems to be discontinued, I flashed the A12 Pixel Experience +. And it's working like a charm! This little tablet that came with Android 9 and was never updated by Alldocube now is running...
I flashed crdrom-v313-210921-arm64-bvZ.img.xz because the bvZ version is too big for our system partition.
I don't know why but the only version of NikGapps that I've been able to flash is NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210130-signed.zip. It's not a big deal because after booting the core gapps are...
The setprop command has to be run as root in a terminal. It worked for me.
Don't go back to Android 10, if your headphones don't work using the 3,5 slot buy a usb-c adapter.
I think that to be able to handle external cards Titanium Backup has to use the document provider storage. And it's recommended to disable Play Protect and "Verify apps over USB" .
No, I haven't, I use the tablet most of the time with headphones and I'm getting great audio quality with them, specially now that I'm using a usb-c adapter. Magisk is working on crDRom so I suppose that ViperFX should work.
Yes, once I am in Android 11 I can do a dirty flash between versions. Titanium Backup handles external sdcards and I still use it although it hasn't been updated in a lot of time.
Coming from Android 10 you should do a clean flash. The best way to keep your previous settings is making a backup of all your apps with Titanium Backup and restoring them later, it's safer than restoring a full data partition from TWRP.
I have installed latest crDRom 21.04.28 coming from previous crdDRom version and it's working like a charm.
For the wired headphones issue type the following command as root in a terminal:
setprop persist.sys.overlay.devinputjack true
Although now I'm using my headphones plugged in the USB-C...
It's Android 11. You don't need opengapps because the bgZ has them included (the g in bgZ stands for gapps).
By the way, I ended up doing a crDRom clean install because I was having very bad battery life after a dirty flash. Now everything is working like a charm. And Prime Video works, maybe it...
HW+ decoder in apps like MX Player is the most efficient way of playing videos, the GPU does the heavy work saving CPU time.
Thank you very much for your suggestion about crDRom, I have flashed it and it works great. I see it's based on crDroid with phhusson's and Andy Yan's patches. Since I was...
I wanted to tell you that I've been using an Android 11 GSI for some days with almost zero issues and it has become my daily driver. It's latest phhusson release. I had to do a full wipe (data, dalvik and cache) to get a fully working experience...
This is me, I am ariadnejro at xda.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I have been using LOS 17.1 for many months working as a charm. What I also managed is to boot LOS 18 with only some minor issues. In fact I think I will try again with different GApps and different versions of Magisk.
When my...
The screen saying "your device is corrupted" is the same I had trying to update LOS 17.1 using latest TWRP. Believe me, the only way to resurrect the tablet is the one I described in my previous post.
There is something wrong with latest TWRP. I used it to install a new LineageOS release as usual (install img file in system image partition) and my tablet became corrupted and couldn't boot. After a lot of struggling I could make it work again flashing latest international firmware to reformat...
I have also managed to install the new firmware using MiFlash. Everything seems to work fine, even Chrome.
I see that the new kernel is 4.4.153 October 29. And we have a new vendor image.
I'm in latest LineageOS 17.1 and everything seems stable.
Thanks to CrimsonKnight13 for giving us the new...
I have just seen on the official site that there is a new firmware XNeo(T1009)-EN-20201028 release date 2020-11-06. I've been more than happy with LineageOS for several months but maybe this firmware has some improvements. Could you take a look?
I've been using LineageOS rooted for a week and I am more than happy. GPS lock is rather slow and Chromium based browsers freeze and crash within the first minute, but other browsers like Dolphin and Firefox work fine. I tried CAOS but it didn't recognize my SIM card, it booted as it wasn't even...
Bad news, my micro sdcard got just corrupted in LOS 17.1. It happened while two different apps were accesing the card, one reading and one writing, I suppose it's something I should have avoided. After formatting the card it seems to work fine again.
I wanted to confirm that the bootloader of the international stock ROM is unlockable. The unlocking process seems to work but the bootloader screen shows again and again that the bootloader is locked.
By the way, when I flashed the international stock ROM I found and installed an update to...
After struggling for a day now I'm quite happy with my setup.
I'm on LinageOS 17.1 because it's the first GSI I have tried that works with my 1800 Mhz 4G router.
I have only found two main issues:
1. Chrome and other related browsers freeze after some minutes. It's a documented issue, it seems...
Do you mean that it's impossible to have the Play Store with the chinese ROM? And I thought you said that the international stock ROM has a locked bootloader.
I finally could flash TWRP with fastboot using an older PC.
I have flashed CAOS but I cannot connect to my router using Wifi (a 1800 Mhz 4G router). I will try other ROMs tomorrow but, if I have to go back to official chinese firmware, I think I saw that there was no Play Store. Can I use Google...
unlocked:
Finished. Total time: 0.003s
I really think that my "Android bootloader interface driver" is acting weird. It appears in the device manager under "Kedacom USB Device". Is there another way to flash TWRP without using fastboot?
I need some help.
I've managed to flash the chinese firmware using MiFlash (my device is EMMC) and I have unlocked the bootloader. But I cannot flash TWRP.
fastboot flash boot_a TWRP-CUBE_X_Neo-20200522.img
fastboot: error: cannot get boot partition size
If I try to install the CAOS ROM...
First of all, thank you for your hard work.
-I understand that you are using the 20200522 chinese firmware as a base because it's the only one with a unlockable bootloader. Shouldn't we try to be on the latest english firmware 20200709, at least the boot and vendor images?
-It seems that the X...
Bootloader factory unlocked? Good to know.
I suppose then that we can root the device patching the boot image with Magisk.
Could you post a guide about how to flash the latest official firmware? Would the process wipe the tablet?
Could you also upload your LineageOS? Screen lock security isn't...
