Hi All,
This probably isn't the way to kick off my time here, but I'm in jail with the inability to post to the dev forums until I hit 10 posts. So, I'd like some assitance doing that in this thread.
Just for some background, and in case s0be reads this forum :silly:, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, Sprint version. Unforuntately, there are no ROMs for it - just the International version. One of the developers here, s0be, has been embarking on a journey to fix that :good: . I tried his latest shot at CM 11, but ran into exactly the same issues as what occurred in post 72 here. Unfortunately, it looks like the fix for the failed installation was provided in a private link.
My short term is to get 10 posts so I can ask the developer directly to roll support for serranolte into his next public build for CM-11 so I can give it a go. Then, of course, I'll try to get that ROM installed.
Well, now you know why I'm here and why I need 9 more posts. Look forward to meeting a few of you here in the lounge...
Thought i would take advantage of your goal myself

I don't know if this even will help you because most of these threads get deleted I think when they cleaning up the forums, so I hope you'll be fast enough to get these 10 posts.

Please don't post just to boost your post count. You could have all your posts deleted and have to restart from zero. In any case, the correct place for this post was in the Q&A forum for the S4 mini.
before anything let me say to the mods that i searched and there was no thread relating to my need. the recommendation thread doesn't fit my question so i hope this doesnt get deleted.
so, i currently own a huawei mate 7 which i somewhat hate but since i got rid of my nexus 5 late last year i have no choice but to use it. luckily there are new phones available now and later so ill hopefully have at least a few choices.
at the moment im looking at the oppo r9+ but i would really appreciate as many suggestions as i can get. the recommendations need to be of phones that are 6 inches and above. ideally with a snapdragon soc and hopefully with custom rom support. my current discontent with my mate7 is the lack of custom roms and thats due to huwei not helping by releasing sources.
i plan on waiting to buy my next phone till after i do extensive research this time around (never again huawei!..... NEVER AGAIN!!) so suggestions about phones possibly coming out next year are ok. thanks in advance for any and all help!
We have a dedicated thread for such questions here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179
Many opinions to be had there, so I'll close this thread! :good:
I must admit I was surprised that there is so little about this phone on XDA. I had expected just to add my thoughts to an existing thread. Anyway, my review below does cover off many items.
https://gavinsgadgets.com/2016/09/27/blackberry-dtek50-smartphone-my-review-secure-a-huge-hit/
Any questions, just ask below, and hopefully I will know the answer.
Look, we get it, you're upset that Xiaomi haven't delivered the update yet. Everyone else here feels the same. But right now, it feels like we're getting several new threads consisting of exactly the same misinformation for no real reason. So with that in mind, here is some more concrete information.
Xiaomi Support have *NO IDEA* about the update for our phone. Seriously. Disbelieve anything they say, because it's only ever provided conflicting or incorrect information.
Legally(?) speaking, they HAVE to provide the Android 10 update, as outlined by the Android One guidelines and promises.
We don't know when we'll get the update. No one does.
Keep in mind that the A2 is a different device to the A2 Lite. Although similar, the two devices get separate updates so one can barely glean much from information pertaining to the A2.
The most you can do is either continue waiting patiently like the rest of us, or go check out one of the many many custom ROMs on offer in this forum.
If what you were considering posting isn't covered here, please post it in one of the many open threads that already exist about this issue. The most popular one seems to be "A2 Lite official Android 10 update release date?", but there are loads more threads sitting about in the "Guides, News & Discussion" subforum. Please remember to read through entire threads to check if someone else has already posted what you were going to say and remember to not spam the forum with your question - this includes replying to multiple threads with the exact same kind of message.
Hi, Anybody on XDA.
I Have started this thread, because I cannot find an answer to my Question, posted in Nexus 7 ROM Development.
"TWRP enquiries are Not Permitted in ROM Forums or Threads".
So my simple Question is as follows.
Whom is "Original TWRP Developer" for this device.
Asus Nexus 7 (2012) Tilapia (3G) 32GB 7" Tablet, same for Grouper (WiFi) .
Limited information is available on XDA, as many Developers have lost interest or abandoned, further updates for these devices, only @AndDiSa is updating lately, in 2021, & for last 4 years, as per OP.
Latest TWRP versions 3.4.0-0 (2020) and 3.5.0-9.0 (2021) releases on TWRP.ME are Robot generated, within "Team Win Jenkins" Server with Developer, being listed as "Jenkins". Some pseudo name, that the Server created.
Original TWRP Versions from 2012-2013 being 2.8** are obsolete, next was v3.3.0-0 that works for LOS 14 ROMs, being based on Android 7.1.2 released in 2017. So ALL versions, work successfully on @AndDiSa ROMs.
So after lots of research, I cannot locate whom, was the ,"Original Human Developer", that "Team Win" had moved into "TWRP Development and Support" for later updated versions.
Now available, when released, with latest security patches, every few months, via http://TWRP.me Repositories for Multiple Devices.
There are no changes in Format, in Partitions, that can be Backed up and Restored.
So being able to communicate with a Human, instead of a Machine.
Users can ask questions, directly as PM, within XDA.
Just want to know, whom is that person, ?????
Please Reply, if anyone can answer, my Simple Question.
Thanks & Cheers BeeJ1109
HI ALL,
4 days Nothing Surely someone can answer, or acknowledge that this thread has been read.
Please respond with something, anything.
I got told to start a new thread for TWRP by some official in XDA.
Having a go at me, told to leave the OP or Dev alone, He only answers questions about ROM, Not allowed to ask questions about TWRP.
So I did as requested.
NO Responses at this Time.
Cheers

As stated in my PM: No one has any obligations to you or anyone else on this forum. You can ask a question but if no one can or even wants to answer it, that's just tough luck. You could try a different approach by proactively working out the answer on your own or rephrase the question. I personally don't believe knowing whom developed TWRP is going to help you. Finding the contributor(s) of your device here has more value. If there are none or they have discontinued support, well, that's just tough luck too I guess.

Thank you for more useless info.
For your interest, there issues with this TWRP, discussing the issues, will at least be communicating with a human.
Simple, but I suspect you are on a different page.
Contributors for this device are no help, so far. The device may have unique restraints, but I doult that. It is 32GB Device, Samsung devices with 8GB have a larger System partition. Nexus 7 has 639 MB allocated, which severely limits, loading Gapps for starters, naming a partition to unique name being staging. Therefore certain apps are looking for persist partition.
Not supporting /system/add-on.d functions limits backup and restore, requiring Magisk root and Gapps to be reinstalled everytime a new ROM is updated. Another unique feature to this device.
Maybe I am being too Technical for you to understand.
Possibly the only person that understands my concerns is @AndDiSa the ROM Dev. Whom refuses to discuss TWRP.
So maybe, I will just put the device away in the drawer, like it was for last 7 years.
No big deal, I have lots of other devices, to play with.
Telling me to rephase my question or try to investigate it myself and people are not obligated to reply, are not helpful.
You are so full of your self importance, as so-called the appointed Forum moderator, that I feel you are missing the point, I am just asking a question, and adding some info, that is relevant to the questions.
So lighten up, as it is not life or death. Relax I really don't care.
I did as you asked, got no replies, apart from your thoughts.
In my opinion, Some on XDA are helpful, others are not.
Goodbye

Hi again BeeJ1109
I will not engage in any open emotional discussion. If you wish to do so, you are free to contact me via PM. The standards that you are holding me by can just as well be reflected upon yourself. I have made great efforts in assisting you and I never made any promises. XDA is not a customer service; though it is often mistaken as one. It's about contributing and mutual respect. I was not trying to be helpful, I'm merely asking for some respect towards the community and its members.
And you are absolutely correct: some are helpful, others are not. That is not limited to XDA.
