Long story short, I've ventured out to upgrade my old phone's custom rom to possibly play Fortnite. I've tried a wide variety of things but I cannot get past the infamous "Graphics Error" message.
My current build is a Oneplus Two running on ResurrectionRemix 6.0 (Android Version 8.1). I have a 64bit phone, and while my GPU is one year too old for the required minimum driver, I've bought Gltools to change my information accordingly. I've also used a prop build editor to change my phone's information into a Note 9 (I want that damn skin).
My phone is rooted with Magisk (and yes I've hidden the folder + hidden the app itself to both the Fortnite app and Installer).
I guess the question is, can I spoof my true GPU specs to run this damn game? And how can I go about doing this?

Hope I've posted this in the right place, If not I apologise.
A friend of mine gave me his "Galaxy S4" to look at for him as (and I quote) "it doesn't look right"
He is well aware he has purchased a clone phone and the fact that it has 2 different IMEI numbers (one for a galaxy Note and one for a SE W595) is a dead giveaway. He has asked me though if it is possible to install android on the device. My gut feeling is no and I'll explain why:
IT IS NOT RUNNING ANDROID NOW!!
It is running an OS I have NEVER seen before. The menu's are bizarre and the settings menu looks nothing like anything i have seen before. I managed to find out the system info and this is what I have:
SPREADTURM Soft Ver:6530_12B
SPREADTURM HW Ver:SC6530
Ver:0x6a
UsrId:0
Os:MTK_SPD6530
OSVern:6530_12B

The information above was gotten through dialling *#0* in the dialler and selecting "SSC Info"
Anyone know if my gut feeling is right or not??

No, Its for sure a clone, but it's running android. There aren't many mobile operating systems, other than tizen os, ios, windows mobile and firefox os. Of course its not running ubuntu os. So the only way to tell is to install apk (android app) and see if it will install. You can download one from xda or Google play - and if the phone has google play its for sure android.
Its probably another generic chinese ripoff. Most likely the bizarreness you found is just a theme, alot of manufactures them android.
Can you post a screenshot of os or a pic of the phone
It is not running on android, the "Google Play Store" and "Samsung Apps" Apps are just webpages. The Pre-installed games Angry birds and Fruit Ninja appear to be flash based only.
Not sure that this will ever run android. Giving it back to him tomorrow,
Hi all, was just putting this out there to ask if any of the XDA faithful have been able to successfully root an Oppo R11? I don't need to go into details about how bad the ColorOs is, so you get where I'm coming from
I've read a fair bit since receiving the phone (Gift) about being able to root older models from the work by Wuxianlin and others.
Is it safe to assume the older methods of rooting the Oppo phone wont work for the R11?
Details are below of the model (Australia) etc
Model # - CPH1707
ColorOS version - v3.1
Android version - 7.1.1
Build # - CPH1707EX_11_A.06
Cheers guys, appreciate any help or guidance

The ColorOS is by far and away the worst experience I've ever had on a phone.... it boggles the mind how they thought this was a good android alternative. The phone is great but really unusable for me at this stage.

Can you please go into detail, I've never rooted and Android device, as I've never needed to. I'm coming from a BlackBerry PRIV, which I used for many years, and I came dependant on the keyboard (BlackBerry PRIV onscreen keyboard). This is all good, as you can download a Blackberry manager and install the keyboard, however, the keyboard doesn't appear when you tap into message, email, you name it. Sometimes you'll have to tap 4 or 5 times before it'll appear. And it's got all the permissions in the world.
Now I'm here, hoping I can install a stock android version. Is this at all possible? Any help would be much appreciated.

In the same boat.... for me ColorOS is almost unuseable as I struggle to get the font size and colour that works for my eyes... and it's very non customisable. I am playing around with Themer (Play store download) and it looks better but so far not a final solution
Hi, can somebody help me with this please? I want to edit build.prop of Oneplus 7 pro to look like Snapdragon S10+. I know where build.prop is, how to edit it, I have root etc. I just have no idea what edit to what exactly. I want just fool some incompatible apps.
Or at least pls post build.prop of some snapdragon s10+ version which HW is closest to Oneplus 7 pro.
I am noob in this, I was happy to make it with rooting itself, so I would prefer specific answer which lines edit and to what exactly, but I could also use some old guides for other phones if I had S10+ build.prop and info which lines to change.
I also have no idea if I need build.prop from exactly same HW samsung (and if there is 10+ like that - 8gb/256gb) or this do not matter. If I edit build.prop to 128gb variant of samsung and i have 256gb storage will it screw something? Will apps and file managers think I have only 128gb and will it lock half of my storage somehow? I want little to none consequences other than fool app compatibility. Thx for any possible info on this subject
Qué?
Seriously, though... It is not really clear what you are trying to achieve.
Is it that you want the Samsung apps without the OneUI wireframe?
If so, that is not really something you can do - you would need ported versions of the apps and some of them might be so tied into the wireframe that they have dependencies that cannot be ported.
...if it is the overall look you are looking for, then try changing the launcher.
Build.prop edits?? What for???
Edit it to install Heroes III which was supported by Note 8 but cant be installed on Oneplus 7 pro and to unlock 60fps in Fortnite which is 100% supported by snapdragon S10. I had succes with Fortnite but Heroes III still cant be installed, maybe its not supported even in s10, only Note series or I need to edit more lines in that build.prop. I simply need to fake my phone model to something that supports highest FPS in games and has Heroes III support. CoD early acces would be nice too, I will probably wait some time and fake it to Note 10 later
Short version: What's the easiest/best way to make sure my (unlocked/Magisk-rooted) 7Pro does NOT upgrade to Android 10?
Long version:
New 1+ owner here after finally giving up on Google's ability to make a phone I like (I have had only Google phones since Nexus One, and just now retiring my Nexus 6) -
Before getting the 7Pro, I got/tried/returned the horrible Pixel 4XL - that I might actually have kept if Google had done a better job on the software - Android 10 and the new Assistant features. (*Shocking to me that out of the box, this brand new factory fresh phone is loaded with GAPPS that lack the features that Google advertises for the phone! Requires many updates, and still doesn't work properly.)
Since I don't want to effectively become a beta-tester for this new stuff, I really want to prevent the 1+ from updating to Android 10 and not quite sure how to make sure:
The phone came with a 9.x version, and did 1 system upgrade to 9.5.13, and it's now telling me another system upgrade is available. But, best I can tell, there is no way to know what build it is going to update to until after it's done?
Android 10 stable branch has been mostly fine. The only bug I've experienced was due to custom kernels and modules. I'd say avoid 10.3 until the wifi brain cpu issue is fixed.

xxxNoLimits can systemlessly debloat OPBackup if you select that as one of the available options. That will prevent auto updates.
Best as I understand, 9.5.3 was the last Pie Rom. Any further updates will be Q.
Hi fellas,
I recently bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S, and aside from the fact that it's still running Android 10 over MIUI 12.0.3.0 (Global / EU since I'm in France) when everybody else and their cousin seems to have switched to Android 11 already, everything's peachy with the phone.
My question is borne more out of curiosity than necessity: How better would my photos be if I installed Gcam (Google Camera), rather than keep on using OpenCamera or the Xiaomi app the phone ships with? Would I really see an improvement in the way the Gcam software treats images?
If you think I'd get to gain from the install, then a second question comes to mind: How to install the config file that comes with most of the builds I've found here and there? Last time I installed Gcam on the phone, the config file came separately, and however hard I tried to follow instructions, I never managed to load the config file, so I ditched the app altogether. Patient, I am not for that kind of thing, I'll confess.
So, what gives?

gcam use some algorithm to enhance photos to high dynamic range (HDR). you may get better image if you use proper gcam made for your phone.
secondly, config file can be loaded in settings of most gcam. you can use youtube or any tutorial to see how to load configs.
Thanks for your reply, Bhanu. It was my understanding that what Gcam does, mostly, is to apply some sort of software "magic" to what the sensors record, and in this respect, the 48MP main sensor on the Note 9S isn't too shabby, so I'd really like to give it a try, but as I said in my OP, every time I did what was advised in the tutorials I read, i.e. press somewhere in the camera interface (left of the capture button), I always got the same "no config file to load" message, although I had a config file waiting to be installed, one that I had downloaded along with the Gcam .apk file, so I was wondering if there were APKs that already contained said config file, and if so, where can I find them?
For example, this article points at two different builds based on Gcam 8, but it doesn't mention where to find the config file that goes with either one of them.
hi, i like the way you replied,
about gcam i have found v7.4 its recommended to use v7 because they are relatively stable.

just open app and go to settings and developer settings and disable use google photo to use it.
or simply install google photos to make this version work.
