Is there an "plain English" change log for the CM "M Snapshot" builds?
I know where to find the technical list of changes is for the Cyanogenmod nightlies but is there a more plain English list of highlighted changes for each M build? I am referring to something like we see in Play store apps. For example, I know that this new M build incorporates the built in SuperUser function but I'm not sure what other significant updates were made.
Just curious.
Thanks!
I'm going to just say no since that's not what CM does. Best bet would be to read an android blog article about the latest CM monthly release details.

What he said.
What is posted is plain english. If you cant understand it then maybe you should sit back and spend a few days doing some research.
I had checked the blogs and only found info about the superuser integration and pie controls. I read them regularly. I get what you're saying about CM people not making their own change logs. At least I know that much now. That confirms that I shouldn't be searching their site. Thanks.
As for being told to do more research... I know you are a moderator but I was a little thrown by that comment.
The site I am already aware of and have sought information from is: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/
Is this the site you refer to as being in plain english? It contains items such as:
"eat: Eat using adb sideload"
and
"Revert: "Allow using DroidDoc build."
That isn't plain English to me.
I also try to check through through the Google+ CM page for "plain English" updates on what is happening but the problem there is that they are posting info on so many devices, it's hard to filter out what's going on. That's also where I found out about pie controls.
I looked on Google in general for version info, change log, etc. No luck. So, I came here in my research attempts to see if anyone might already know of a site/someone that is knowledgeable in this area and takes info like that (above) and summarizes the main changes on one page. In my experience, I have found that there are people that all sorts of great things as a service to the android community. That's all I was asking. I didn't realize I would be told that I should go research somewhere else.
Maybe you didn't mean it this way but it comes off as telling me to go away and not waste space on this forum if I'm not smart enough to understand that kind of change log info.
Normally, I let these things slide but I wanted to tell you how it came off to me. I still love this forum. I've learned SO MUCH here. I would never have been able to root my phones and tablets without it. As a moderator, I'm sure you are part of the reason it's such a great place. It was just this once instance that seemed a little off.
Thanks.

Ill be honest with you. While it was not meant to come off rude or anything but those are terms your gonna have to learn to read. Android is not a simple thing in the least nor is flashing custom roms. This is a developers site so you will see terms like this used all the time. The best thing I can say is to spend some time learning the lingo and finding out what things mean.
That is plain english on a developers forum.

Yeah android will be mainly as it is still a new OS and many changes will come, then we will have to relearn so many things all over again

Usually the stuff you care about as a user will be understandable (features, etc) if you read the nightlies change logs. The weird tweak stuff I don't understand, but you can click on the change and read comments and sometimes it makes more sense to me. But do you really need to know the reason behind each of the hundreds of changes that happen between each M?

Hi guys
First of all, I am not a programmer.. Not even very tech savyy, so if "ordinary" people isn't allowed to ask around here, I apologize. I would also like to mention that english isn't my primary language, so also please forgive me for my bad english.
My problem is that I am in wayyy over my head. I bought an android (hdmi)stick over Ebay and actually kind of expected it to be plug and play. After a bit of playing around and reading up on it I realize that this is far from the case.
The item is an Azurill MK809III
I have the following problems:
When I am trying to use apps that requires a rooted device, they say it isn't rooted. When trying to use apps that doesn't allow rooted devices, the app says it is. I am quite convinced that it is, but I don't know why various apps (also apps which only purpose is to check for root) says it isn't. I would, solely for that reason like to find another (still mediacenter-friendly) rom.
I also find the movies kind of choppy. According to various posts on the internet, it's because of a problem in the way the stock "kernel" handles things. I've read various recommendations of which alternative kernel that should be used. I don't know if another rom will solve this problem also?
The problem is that it's a JUNGLE out there. I honestly don't know how to flash a rom, and when reading up on it it seems VERY complicated. I know from earlier escapades that tech-things often look more complicated in writing, but what worries me the most is that all the guides that I found includes some kind of code.. Is that Linux? And does that mean that I need to have a computer running Linux to do this?
I am a totally virgin when it comes to tampering with things on this level.. I honestly thought it would be a nice "out of the box" alternative to a Chromecast, but boy was I wrong.
Can anyone save me? Either by guiding me through the whole process or maybe just tell me if this is possible without Linux and pointing me in the right direction(s)? I fell over something called "Rockchip Batch tool", but I don't know if that can be used for the process or only to flash back to the stock rom (or maybe I totally misunderstood what its for)
I am of course kind of afraid of breaking my device, so I don't dare to start following some guide on my own initiative, unless someone assured me that it is the right thing to do.
Thank you in advance.. :fingers-crossed:

Hello all,
I just bought a Transformer Pad TF0310C (after a bunch of research it looks like it is the Best Buy exclusive version of the TF103C which unfortunately has an Intel quad core, 1gb ram, 16gb storage), I am guessing there probably are no roms, or really anything at all for this device (spent an hour or so yesterday trying to find any and all I really found were posts of people trying to figure out what this device equivalent was to try and see if the roms will work for it)? I wish I had researched a bit more before I bought it, but too little too late (it was only $85~ so no huge deal). Assuming there are no roms for it, is it possible to adapt a current rom over to this architecture?
I am familiar with linux, several programming languages (not an expert in any, but definitely know enough of each to get any job done that I have needed thus far), manipulating devices to suit my needs, etc, so I feel that if I had enough documentation and resources available I could get something going, as long as someone with more experience tells me that it is indeed at least possible. There are probably going to be quite a few more people who are going to be looking for them as well as this device is currently a "best seller" on woot.com as a refurb, so I am hoping to try and help not only myself, but possibly the community as a whole by trying to provide at least a rom for the device, if nothing else, it will be a great learning experience for me.
Thanks all!

Hi, I am in the same boat as you and was just wondering if you found anything more on this? Unfortunately, I am not a DEV at all so wouldnt be able to help you out other than perhaps testing things? I have rooted many devices and am surprised there is nothing for this one..- Thanks!

Hey there, I have came across a few things. It looks like at least rooting is possible, it was found and tested that the process and tools to do so from the TF103C work on the TF0310C as well from a forum post I found that I had to use chromes google translate to read here : http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/comment-rooter-votre-asus-tf103c-k010-tf0310c-t101416.html I found it at work yesterday and was going to do more research but am still in the process of moving, so my evening was filled with nothing but moving boxes, lol. I will be doing more research though. I believe it is possible to install Clockworkmod recovery using the TF103C image as well, which might mean that if there are any roms for it, they might work for ours as well!
Here are a few things I found that may or may not end up being useful

(This one, I read on another forum, can be used if you want to possibly install windows 8 on it.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/x98-air/general/teclast-x98-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035
Thank you for the great info. Did you end up trying anything? I was thinking about trying the tutorial from the marshmallow- rom forum but am a little nervous.

I am seeking an app that would make the power button also the volume button. I have come across several apps that make the volume button turn into the power button but none for the power. Also does anyone know where to get a replacement sim card tray for the PVG100 or if a sim tray from another device would work in it. Thanks
Hi guys!
I think I found the source code/bootloader for the PVG100. After a whole lot of digging, I now have this .zip from the founder himself, and it is for the original 2018 firmware, not with any of the updates. I'll attach it below.
I am definitely a novice tinkerer, not a developer. I don't have any of the skills or tools to make a custom ROM, though I very much want one to remove the bloatware and enable hotspot tethering etc. Stormskeeker, could you please post whatever you have managed to find so far, or explain how you have been able to tweak it?
I also have a couple of these that are inoperable for various reasons that I have thoroughly dissected. So if anyone needs to buy any of my spare parts, or wants to just know more about the Palm's guts, then hit me up!
This is SUCH a rad little phone. Biggest complaint by far is battery life, and I would LOVE if someone help me figure out how to power this phone with a bigger battery. I found a Oneplus battery has the same connector, but it won't work when I connect it (unless it's plugged in to a wall adapter)... does this have something to do with the firmware not accepting a different battery? Does Anyone know how I can get around this??

Questions about how to root this device are relevant, but you didn't ask about that in your previous post, did you? No, you didnt, you asked an irrelevant question about the SIM tray that has nothing to do with XDA or what we do here.
My point is, this forum is about android software development and Windows mobile software development. Given that fact, questions posted here in this Palm pvg 100 thread should be questions about Palm pvg 100 software. Your question is about your device's manufacturer and their practices concerning the SIM tray issue. That question is irrelevant here at XDA because it has absolutely nothing to do with android, android software development, Windows mobile, Windows mobile development or the software on your Palm pvg 100.
Sure, your question is related to the Palm pvg 100, but that doesn't mean anything.
If this were an automobile repair forum, the question you posted would be like going to an automotive repair forum to ask why Toyota has stopped making a certain part or making that part available to the public. How would the people in the forum know why Toyota is doing that? They, wouldn't, Toyota would. What could the people in that forum actually do about the availability of that part? Absolutely nothing. So why waste your time asking them if they don't know and can't do anything about it? Do you see my point now?
If you want to know if there is a known rooting method for your device, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"
If that doesn't find anything, there is not a known rooting method for that device. If you find nothing, you'll have to experiment for yourself to find working method.
If searching doesn't find anything specific, you'll have to try the various universal rooting programs on PC or the various android rooting apps, try all of them that you can possibly find.
If the universal rooting programs or apps don't work, you can try finding a copy of your stock firmware, then extract the boot.img from the firmware then use Magisk on PC to patch the boot.img then flash that boot.img on your device then install the Magisk Manager app on your device. But, if your bootloader is locked, you will not be able to flash the patched boot.img.
If you want to know how to flash your device, do a google search for:
"How to flash stock firmware (your model number)"
Or
"Return to stock (your model number)"
That should find guides for flashing your device.
Notice that the Google searches are simple and to the point,
"How to (the thing you're looking for) (your model number)"
It isn't difficult to use Google to find answers, you just have to keep your search terms simple and direct.

Thanks for Information all you said about Google etc. I Tryed but for this Model iz Xtream Difficult
y even not will find a Stock Firmware to Download lmah crazy
In My Opinion Samsung Devices are the best Phones and most open about for Rooting and Flashing Roms.
for the nem Palm PVG 100 Devices i also not finding something or how someone has tryed to Root or Flash
a think it will be possible trough SP Flash or something .
Will see, but Anyway i have Realy to Say Thanks to the XDA Devolpers Comunitys for dont let Obsolete so many Phones thrugh
Custom Roms . my Sam. P1000 still runs alot of Apps ho this devices was never Supportet with the Stock Rom
the Best is espacialy for the S4mini iz incredible wha the guys from ASOP Team has done . Oreo on a S4 mini and in a realy Fast Way !
so with this also Thanks to this Guys ho realy thinks in a right decision for All Devices. I am realy not a fan of Updates and New Api,s for Apps
because in this was alot of Phones and more will get faster obsolete etc. Thats why realy Thanks for all this Devs. for the nice Roms.

XDA itself is not involved in which devices do or don't get support or custom development.
It is up to the community of members, it is the members that figure out rooting methods and it is members that create the custom developments that are available here. It isn't like XDA has a team of people that are tasked with developing for every single android device model that is created/sold.
Devices that do not have known rooting methods or have no custom development of any kind are due to several reasons, such as:
1) there are not enough users in the community that own the device
2) the device has no stock firmware available and/or does not have a stock source code that is available to the public. Without these, custom ROMs can not be created.
3) there are no users or developers with the experience or skills to create custom software that own the device. Developers only build for devices they personally own and real developers don't buy cheap, off-brand, unpopular devices. If someone here owned a device like yours and had the skills to build ROMs, there would probably already be ROMs for your device.
If your device does not have a stock firmware that is available and has no stock source code available and you do not have the necessary developer skills, you are out of luck when it comes to customizing your device or ever seeing custom development for your device.
If your stock source code was available, you could have tried paying a developer to develop ROMs your device, but it would have required you buying another device like yours and sending that device to the developer so they could use it for testing what they build before releasing their development to the community here.
If you really want to blame someone, blame yourself for buying a device that no developer would ever care about working with.
If you want to be able to customize a device, here is some advice.
1) don't buy cheap, low end, off brand, unpopular devices, it doesn't have to be an expensive flagship device, there are some decent mid-range devices that receive custom development.
2) don't buy a device that does not have stock firmware available and/or has no stock source code available.
3) you are going about it all wrong, don't go buy a device and then come here looking to see if anything is available here for the device. Come here first and see what devices have available development here and what those developments are and use that information to choose which device to go buy and THEN go buy the device.
So, you see, there is a lot more to the story than just.....

Whether or not the stock firmware and stock source code is available or not is absolutely essential to building custom ROMs.
Ok, have it your way then. Continue wasting your time and money on devices that will probably never have anything posted here to root or modify them.
As I said, not all devices get rooting methods and custom development posted here, only the ones owned by people who had the experience to root the device and/or build custom ROMs, they find a rooting method for their device themselves then post the method here or they create custom development for their device themselves then post it here.
You don't understand how things actually work here or where the information posted here actually comes from. It comes from users just like you and I that figure it out for themselves if nothing is here and then post it here for others. There is no way to know which devices will gain root until AFTER it has already been figured out, we can not know BEFORE. We can not look into the future and predict when or if "this" or "that" device will have a rooting method discovered, it can't be done, so there is no point in asking "When will this device have root?" because an answer to that question does not exist.
No one knows which devices will receive development or rooting methods. That depends on who buys one of the devices and if they decide to modify the device, if they have the knowledge to do so.
You will just have to wait and see.
In my honest opinion, that device will probably never have anything useful posted here. I can go ahead and tell you that device is, more than likely, not popular enough to receive support here at XDA.
If you feel like you would like to try and learn how to root the device and learn how to develop custom ROMs and such, by all means, go ahead. You will probably gain root and have custom development for your device sooner if you just do it yourself. Your only other option is to wait to see if someone else figures something out that works on your device, which isn't very likely to happen any time soon. It doesn't matter how cool the device is or what the specs are, if no one with experience buys the device, it doesn't get support in this community.
By the way, depending on the security measures that have been implemented in your devices stock firmware, adb can be used to remove bloatware without root.
Do a Google search for:
"Remove bloatware without root"
You'll find lots of information about using adb to remove bloatware.
Good luck

You can disable (for all) or "uninstall" for the current user most the bloatware. A few things are tied to receiving SMS but you can read about the ones you can safely remove in the battery life thread I created. That thread assumes you're not too bothered about automatic updates as they are pushed by verizon.
www (i.e. google) also works for replacement SIM tray for Palm PVG 100. js.

Yes you can somone disactivate but not all. But on this Verizon PVG-100 the Bloat ware iz not tu mutch.
We are still working on a root solution. We have a temp root, but can't get into the bootloader.

Thanks for Information all you said about Google etc. I Tryed but for this Model iz Xtream Difficult
y even not will find a Stock Firmware to Download lmah crazy
In My Opinion Samsung Devices are the best Phones and most open about for Rooting and Flashing Roms.
for the nem Palm PVG 100 Devices i also not finding something or how someone has tryed to Root or Flash
a think it will be possible trough SP Flash or something .
Will see, but Anyway i have Realy to Say Thanks to the XDA Devolpers Comunitys for dont let Obsolete so many Phones thrugh
Custom Roms . my Sam. P1000 still runs alot of Apps ho this devices was never Supportet with the Stock Rom
the Best is espacialy for the S4mini iz incredible wha the guys from ASOP Team has done . Oreo on a S4 mini and in a realy Fast Way !
so with this also Thanks to this Guys ho realy thinks in a right decision for All Devices. I am realy not a fan of Updates and New Api,s for Apps
because in this was alot of Phones and more will get faster obsolete etc. Thats why realy Thanks for all this Devs. for the nice Roms.

....dude...whatever you're trying to ask or trying to do, I can guarantee that this is NOT the forum to do it in. Please don't post on this site anymore unless you have done your research into the topic first, by reading what others have posted, and what info is available for your device. Posting is primarily for discussion and contribution. If everyone just posts any random questions they have without even googling it first, then the threads become completely flooded and then unhelpful for those who are actually trying to discuss something.
And fyi, we are still working on a root solution. We have a temp root, but can't get into the bootloader.

dude i dont know wahts exaclty you wanna show with this what you write , but just for info this Thread is intended for ALL
Questions about the Palm PVG-100 so if you can handle it fine :good: and Rooting iz not the only problem
where you can find a Sim Tray Replace for this phone. (YES A GOOGLET IT ) so if you can helph with this fine too
If the phone hasn’t a permanent root yet, does that mean no apks can be extracted from it?
I’m looking to try and figure out how to get the palm launcher on my own device, but I don’t see anyone’s who ported it or extracted it as of yet, and I’d hate to ask someone to try if I know they aren’t able to.

As long as you do it while the device is rooted, you shouldn't have a problem.

Thank you, got it on my device!
For anyone trying this themselves, I had to decompile the app, modify the manifest and remove the sharedUserId, and recompile and resign to get it to install. Then I had to give it secure settings permissions via root so it wouldn't crash.
Since my phone is larger and a has a QHD display, the apps were a bit small and it didn't fit well. Changing DPI did not fix, the launcher seems to only look at resolution, not DPI. So, I then changed the resolution of my device to match the Palm and decreased my dpi to make other apps still usable. Not sure what the default palm DPI and text size are, but I found a happy medium for me.
Only issue is for some reason the google search bar up top doesn't appear on the home screen but I can still click the area and get to search, not sure why, but works well otherwise. The left pane on the home screen is also black but I don't know what's supposed to go there. Probably some other dependency I don't know about. Widget pane on the right works though.
Overall pleased, thanks again!
Edit: got it to work perfectly by setting is as a privileged app and turning off dark mode. Left side pane is google now page, and top search bar now appears properly.
Hello, Is there a way to edit the APN. It seems to be locked.
Hi people,
I'm looking forward to buying a Galaxy XCover 5 but I really want to avoid all the Samsung bloatware stuff.
For now, I didn't find any single custom or AOSP ROM for it.
Did I miss something?
Also, I realized that this smartphone isn't in the Samsung topics list yet.
Best, taiBsu

Do a Google search for:
"Custom ROMs for (the specific model number of the device)"
If that doesn't find anything then there is nothing for that device.
Use this same search for for every device that you want to investigate, just use the model number for each device when you search.
Another thing you may want to investigate. Do a Google search for:
"TWRP for (the specific model number of the device)"
If that doesn't find anything then there is no TWRP for that device, which means there are probably no ROMs for that device either because it requires TWRP to flash custom ROMs.
Anytime you are interested in a device and you want to see if anything is available for it, do these exact searches and it will find if anything is available for that device.

Hi Droidriven,
thanks for your reply. However, when I wrote "I didn't find" that meant that this was the result of following exactly the steps you described. It's not that I was just too lazy to ask Google, more of asking specifically in the XDA community for potential less popular or unofficial ROMs that might not be found by simply googling them. Also, it might have been possible that some devs are at the moment working on a G525F version of some custom Android.

I was just saying that if those searches haven't found anything, that is a pretty good indicator that there is nothing to find.

I literally registered just to say how much of an absolute waste of time you are. If you're not going to help beyond not reading people's posts where they've said they've looked for something and just by default go to tell them to google it because you don't know it, then stop wasting all of our time and just delete your account. Your ego is atrocious for a forum troll. Go touch some grass.

It wasn't an "I don't know" reply. It was an "if you want to find ROMs for your device, this is how you do it" reply, because that is exactly what they needed to do to see "IF"(keyword, IF) there are any ROMs for their device, because, IF there are ROMs for their device, the search I suggested would find it/them, if it doesn't find anything then there is nothing, which answers their question pretty directly. Yes, they said they already "searched" but how am I to know whether or not they did proper and valid searches? How do I know if they searched specifically by model number or not, since they didn't state what searches they had done or how thoroughly they had done it? What if the searching they had done was vague and non specific? What if, after potentially vaguely and non specifically searching and finding nothing, they came here to ask? If their searches were vague and non specific, then, my reply would have helped them refine their searches specific to their device, if anything exists for the device? There are more layers to the scenario than you realize from the outside looking in.
My reply told them everything they needed to know in order to find/not find what they were looking for. It was also to indirectly say "if you've already done those searches and didn't find anything, then that is a pretty good indicator that there is nothing for your device". Given that they already did those searches and didn't find anything, that means that coming here and asking was the ACTUAL "waste of time". The only time I wasted was to respond to a question that they had already answered for themselves when their searches didn't find anything, whether they knew it or not. Now, you've wasted time debating a reply that was actually a valid answer, you wasted even more time by registering just to do that. Your reply is how you feel about it, but, in reality, what you have had to say about it is completely irrelevant.
I'm assuming that you think a valid answer would have only and expressly been to post a ROM for them, a ROM that doesn't exist? Are you the type that thinks I should just give them a fish that doesn't exist rather than teaching them to fish for themselves to see if the fish they are looking for exists or not? Exactly how was I supposed to reply to a post when the answer they are looking for doesn't exist? You call my post "trolling" even though it told them exactly what they needed to know in order to find a valid answer, if the answer exists. This actually makes you and your reply the "troll", as you call it.
Have a nice day.

Did you find some rom? just going to start searching for one...
Minor news:
Managed to get Lineage OS 20 GSI by AndyYan on the phone by modifying original fimware AP file.
However right off the bat there were two issues -
1/ after phone went to sleep by hitting the power button once to lock it the screen stops reacting.
Luckily the battery is replaceable
2/ it did not even ask to unlock the SIM card
Right now I am trying to de-bloat the original firmware a bit for daily usage. Still don't like it.
That said there are some resources out there
- Samsung provides official kernel for Android 13
- you can find twrp for A21s which also has Exynos 850 - would be nice if someone tested it
Got custom kernel and Lineage GSI into one ROM. (lot's of work on that samsung malicious compliance "open-source" kernel). Flashed to the phone but...
Stuck on the "This phone is running unauthorized software." at the moment.
Not sure where the issue is. Wheter with the kernel I managed to prepare of with some security mechanism.
Probably need to disable proca or something. Maybe time to give up for now.

The "unauthorized software" thing is usually because your running custom/unofficial software on a device that has a locked bootloader, the bootloader wants to see the software that it is "supposed" to have.
Nope, bootloader is properly unlocked. I made double sure about that.
I used to have S10 and that screen was pretty standard.
Reading some posts on that it seems I might have to downgrade firmware to some older version.
Unless I got the kernel wrong.
I remember that back in the day ivan meyer or someone of similar nick used to make LOS for it and always there was specific version of firmware needed. Not the newest one.
I tried with the newest one sofar while the kernel source from samsung is probably kind of late 2022-ish.
Perhaps I will try with older firmware later this week.
Ended up just rooting with magisk and debloating since I needed to start using the phone.
Battery life for my low usage is a week now.
No issues sofar.
(Apologies if this is hijacking the thread - it seems to be the only place mentioning the xcover5 and I did originally come here looking for ROMs)
My new xcover 5 arrived today, but I can't get through the setup - it goes through several screens then prompts for a Microsoft Business Account - which I don't have. The only option from there is Sign-in or Reset Device. Samsung have said to return it to the seller, although am not sure how much their chat-support understood my problem. None of the setup guides / marketing material mention needing a Microsoft Business Account... so I wonder whether I've been sent a phone that's been previously used and somehow locked down to a big company's settings - and if so whether I can reflash/splat it.
It might be safer to just return it because of warranty laws..don't know how that works where you are.
But if you want to at least try then:
How to update your Samsung Galaxy smartphone and install official firmware
Follow these instructions to manually install Android updates through recovery and full firmware using Odin on Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

If the phone is hard-locked by some corp on firmware level you might not be able to reflash it.
