[Q] Cyanogenmod Issue!

I have experienced that cyanogenmod roms don't support my sim operator, because my fone goes into bootloop if my sim is inside, tried using the roms with other sim,or without sim or airplane mode & the rom boots fine
Is there any way to overcome this issue? (except for changing the sim)

create a logcat(if you dont know how i worte a guide here link in my signature) and provide it with a brief discription of the problem here sim causes bootloop so that they can provide fix in future release of the given rom.

Tried many, CM7,9,10 ny various devs, even Cyanmobile.. None of them boot with my sim inside.. has to do with the operator..

you got a computer and a usb cable perform logcat via adb it takes a logcat before booting of the boot process.
please elaborate it goes in boot loop or stuck on boot logo or doesnt switch on in condition 1 & 2 logcat works not in 3.

Unable to PM this person (says no such user exists)

I googled about it before posting the question here
Many people complained about there sim not being supported by the Cyanogenmod ROM's
Seems to be a problem with the source itself, don't think the logcat would be of any help (because it's not a new issue, if u search this issue is already posted in the FIT forum here on XDA)
Just posted the question if any of the RD's or ERD's had a fix for this issue

look no dev is going to serve it to you on a plate here you gotta work for it if you want it.
the error might be in the solution but devs are guys who make changes to source right well they can make this change for you but your error ight be something they dont know they arent god exactly(how much you wish them to be) they are human and need help to understand your problem in on googling it no solution was present well make a logcat and present it to the dev with a big help header they are smart guys will figure out the error and make the changes for you in the next release but if you dont do anything but write your proble in Q&A well maybe god help you cause you will remain stuck.

Ok I will post the logcat, since i have to flash the CM rom again
Let's see how much that helps, thnks newys
Btw i knw devs are human beings, i would have posted the logcat had any developer asked for it, neways sinc u sed it will help ppl who read dis question, I wil post it soon enough

[Q] Will any damage happen to the phone if we use the unofficial roms ??

Hey Guys .!
I have Recently Rooted me Gnex cuz its have been stoped getting updates ,
But then i figure out that Root & ROM'S are more fun tho
so basically im a rookie at this and i wanna know that is there any damage to the if we use the unofficial roms like ( slimkat 4.4 , [CM-11.0] [KRT16S] Dreams or CM11 )

It is pretty safe. If you are worried, wait for other people to try it first

I had a Gnex for two years, running mostly AOKP. You can trust all of the recognized developers here at XDA. If you don't want to risk it, ALWAYS make an nandroid backup.

About the only time you may damage a device is by installing a ROM for a different device. As @justmpm mentioned, if you're having doubts about a particular ROM wait for someone else to post their findings to see then if you wish to try it or not.
Take your time and READ, READ, READ... That is the biggest mistake made around here. People see something they want and just jump in to it without doing any research or doing minimal research. There's in nothing wrong with being cautious.

make a nice backup and go on the safe side!

Hi there.
Yes it is safe as long as
1- You make complete backup
2- Follow proper guide to root and install your rom
3- If you are rookie. Try those roms that have already been tested and running smoothly by others.
Hope that will help you out

Of course bad things could happen also don't forget those same problems could occur with a factory OTA update.
Besides that you could end up with features on your device either gone or broken which I imagine could also happen with a factory rom.
None of them are 100% perfect and safe it is just something you have to accept and take measures before hand to be sure you have backups and/or find knowledge you need to bring your device back from the dead.
These are also all reasons NO ONE should EVER blindly start flashing things to their device without doing some reasearch which is where most problems come from.
Just inform yourself about what you are doing and a lot of things are pretty safe to do or try.
This is about the best advice that could be given I just realized I kinda took the long way around of saying mostly the same thing haha.

Well , If you flash a compatible ROM with your device correctly , nothing will go wrong !
but always take a nandroid backup just in case
the things that can harm your phone most of the time are just kernel related just don't overclock the CPU too much and do your best to avoid kernel tweaks
and every ROM on here has a list of bugs ! so using a custom ROM is totally safe BUT you need to check the bugs list before

worst thing that could happed is you brick your device if that happens just find the ruu for your device and itll restore it to factory settings

No, there's no problem if you flash it properly.....

I have bricked my Gionee GN 100 with a custom rom from another brand but it was the same model. So, take extreme care. I'm also not sure how to fix it. I have some backups but I used only cat. Screen is totally black the phone is technically dead.

Sorry to scare you just giving you realistic info.
Basically flash nothing without researching what you are doing is the biggest point to be taken.

Pretty much what's already been said about making sure the rom is for your specific advice. Usually it's just a soft brick if you flash the wrong rom. The real damage comes using custom kernels the wrong way. i.e. overclocking the cpu/gpu too much. That can cause permanent hardware failure...

I hard briocked my galaxy s3 and had to send it out to to be Jtaged. It was my bad though, just be careful and double check your files prior to flashing. Have ODIN on your computer and be ready to reflash as stock image if you mess somehting up too

I have messed up flashing loads of times and even when I thought my phone(s) was gone for good, I always found a way to bring it back...even if it takes a few hours/days haha...

i know this is a knows issue for the LG G3 but it's hardware related that u put tape on the connectors
but mine is not, this happened to me when i tried to flash euphoria 5.1.1 Rom + TK GAPPS + furnace-d850-aosp Kernal
all at the same time, the problem is i can't use the phone because of the screen i want to get into TWRP and get back to stock but i can't ! is there anyway that i can view my phone on the computer and use TWRP from there ? i don't know if the USB debugging is enabled or not
idk why no one replays to my posts i really need help setting here without a phone

With this attitude no one will you help you. Help yourself and others on XDA and just don't root or do any other customizations to your phones. The answers to your issues are in the forums, but if you are not willing to do the research and reading required to fix issues that arise (your questions have been discussed thoroughly by the way), save yourself the time and trouble.
I have reported your second post to moderators. Foul language is not necessary and will not get you anywhere here.

Glad to hear you got it working. One major recommendation: edit your post where you used bad language. Better if you take responsibility and clean it up then a moderator. Second, as you have done, always report that your problem is resolved if it has been. If possible, details of what you did is always good to share as it may help others.

Here is what I will tell you. This is not a support site. This is a developers site. Which means if you come off rude, unprepared or didnt do your proper research then you will most likely be ignored. This site is hear for you to learn something and then learn to fix things on your own. Not to get tech support.
Take this as a lesson as this post could have easily gotten you banned.

Android Go :V

There is still any dev for janice? :silly:
As some of u know, Google is going to release Android Go based on 8.0/8.1 which should work fine on 0,5GB devices, maybe second life for janice?
Official site

I think Janice still have some devs on, there was someone working on a 7.1 ROM, maybe we can have hope

I understand, don't worry. :good:

I am disposed to take part in the collect, considering how much as now an s advance costs, wouldn't be so hard to get quickly the money and with very little effort for all.
I think that is a good idea and can really give a new life to our device.
Obviously a spare s advance of a willing and generous user would be the best thing we can hope in, but seems really hard to happen, however, my hope isn't died yet

Maybe on weekend i'll look into what changes are needed to run atleast nougat on it (from source), if this'll work then we'll think about Oreo xD

If you're really interested, I'd suggest to look at the Oreo rom of Chrono:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3678722
and to look at the Chrono Kernel (compatible with janice but with some bugs):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...tom-kernel-t2793420/post74179403#post74179403
Ace II has the same chip of S Advance (with some code differences) and the dev is very helpful to explain how it works.
Two guys in the same project would be better than one guy on a single project.
As far as I know @sm_adil doesn't reply to any PM and Epirex is busy on his Moto phone.

Yes I agree two or more dev contributing to the same project will be good!!
However if you consider me as fully fledged dev you're wrong I'm more of web developer than android or java. I did build couple of kernel's for testing my skills but than again they were not so stable and I didn't had time to debug it!!
So yeah if get the time I do want to build a ROM for Janice :fingers-crossed:

I've got a Janice right here that I don't use. I'm actually looking right now for a way to root it and install whatever superior than the Gingerbread ROM it currently has, but the point is that it's available for testing purposes. Btw, is it possible to leave a phone number here?

Hi Isaak,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance. I have been looking if anyone developing Android Go support for it. Found your post on the thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/general/android-t3714953/page2
I want to learn how roms are built and I would like to support in developing Android Go rom for S Advance, if possible. Can you please guide me where I can start?
As per my experience, I have built a modified linux kernel with some modified device drivers and was able to boot it with a debian root filesystem on Freescale SabreLite board. But never built an android rom earlier.
Thanks

You could start from one of these tutorials:
https://nathanpfry.com/category/android/
I'm not good at compiling, I tried it and didn't like it. So I can't help you more than that.
For this reason, with the help of some xda users, I have donated a S Advance to @ChronoMonochrome.
Currently he's actively developing a new kernel and a new rom in this section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/development
I think we could expect more roms with higher android versions, so your feedback is important.

Announcement , I will drop the support for LG G7

At first hi to all of you , you might know me I made twrp and the first root and patched stuff to be able to run AOSP , so but lately I came to the conclusion that the g7 is just not a good device for devs , so I unrooted installed stock and relocked my boot loader.
From this point of time any given support for the device by me will be ended and never picked up again.
Im sry but if u like the device and want rom etc you need to do it yourself now

Hi, so sad to read this, but thanks for your great work. Can i ask you why you stop with this awesome phone? What is the main problem?

Sorry to hear those news, J0SH1X. Same question as kimo9hero, what did lead to the decision of yours? (If you allow us asking

@J0SH1X thanks for all your work, but I think we're naive if we consider any recent LG phone "developer friendly" since all their latest models were lacking support even from the company (very late updates).

Guys there is hope that we'll see modding and roms for our g7?

I don't think so, without at least one enthusiastic dev it's not possible. There are no resources so any potential dev have to figure everything out by himself, constantly risking to brick an expensive device. Luckily, the stock 10f rom works real well and the hardware is superb. One just risk living without some typical root utilities.
I would be happy for some dev picking it up, but I don't count on it.
