I was just wondering if the 90hz display of the OP7pro can be overclocked to a higher rate.

No.

Spell check bro.

It might be possible, since it's available for other phones. And even regular pc screens

I dont think the panel supports it but Im happy to learn it can be done

I've been told but cannot confirm that the panel supports up to 120hz with some minor color imperfections,
Fairly new certain modifying these files:
https://github.com/arter97/android_...t/dts/qcom/dsi-panel-samsung_oneplus_dsc.dtsi
https://github.com/arter97/android_...dsi-panel-samsung_sofef03f_m_fhd_dsc_cmd.dtsi
using this as a sort of guide for values:
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/ke...1128c83#diff-9b749a956003bff1461097b8a7699809
And then building could do the trick but I'm not a dev so I'm not confident in attempting something like that myself.

No, OnePlus uses command-mode to control the panel states, while some dumbs OEMs (Hi Xiaomi) still use video-mode which can be manipulated from dtbo.
But imagining a hypothetical situation where that was possible and the panel could reach 120Hz or something higher than 90, no one outside of OnePlus knows the panel commands to make it enter into a "higher refresh" mode, so we are back in the same place, not possible.

what? I did not suggest a way how it works, I said other devices can, which means the possibility maybe exist. U need to learn how to read carefully.

what if you manipulate the rom? u could flash a Xiaomi or pixel based from, would that change the one+ restrictions? or are those command-mode controls not avoidable?
...just hypothetical as u say....

is not related to the rom but the screen firmware, and you can't just simply flash a custom firmware for your screen, as I said before, no one outside OnePlus has the ability to change/add a command for that.

Hey Snapdragon port

I came across this in the Opo forum. The Dev says it shouldnt be to hard to port to the Nexus 5. Just wondering if anyone wants to give it a go.

This would be nice, but if I recall correctly there was legal issues with changing the low power core used for the pedometer, for other things.

I'm not entirely for sure but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere on here that we had a low power core, and that someone had accessed it to use always listening but would have gotten in legal trouble if he had distributed it.

800 is just as capable as the 801. Low-power core is just used for a hardware pedometer instead of "always listening", as well as legal issues if you were to enable it without permission.

Lethargy said:
The low-powered core is only good for things that usually require wakelocks (i.e. always listening, music playing, hardware pedometer). Screen-off gestures are done at kernel level and does NOT require a wakelock, so the low-powered core is completely useless in that regard.
Only factor determining if screen-off gestures drains or not is how power is provided to the panel. If it's possible to power the digitizer on separately, then it uses less battery. If you have to power the entire panel on, it'll use more. Either way, it's the exact same thing and not really done much differently across all devices; just make sure the digitizer is powered in any way and wake the device (or whatever) on specific gestures.

Gah I hate being wrong. Whats worse is I actually knew that once too!
But, would there be any legal issues if it was a feature ported from another phone.......
the nexus 5 low power core was defaulted to count steps instead of being a low power core. i dont think that it can be the low power core as we would like it to be. but i guess with lots of work, it could be possible?

Its still using the same low-powered core. Unless you want to somehow rip it out of a OnePlus One and hack it into a Nexus 5 (i.e. pretty much impossible and hardly a good idea)

It's still a low powered core (and the same one as any other device with the Snapdragon 800 SoC), just being used for a different purpose.
I don't know what it would take to reprogram it/use it for other purposes, but its been done before and there was a proof-of-concept, method not released because of the legal ramifications. If there isn't a way around it/loophole, or a legal way to do it, then you'll have to wait a few years until the Nexus 5 becomes an old legacy device that nobody cares about lol

This is like the third time it's been explained to me and I still can't get it right. Don't feel bad. xD
if its a legal issue, then its something that someone would be able to do to legally to their own phone, just wont be able to distribute it. something like posting instructions how to do it would be legal, just distributing the finished mod could be illegal. but i dont see where legality would come into affect on this.

All sorts of strange laws about. Way back when, when i was a blackberry owner, it was against forum rules (crackberry) to discuss or give instructions for rebranding as apparently that was "illegal" in the US.

Adaptive brightness is too dim

I generally like the adaptive brightness setting on this phone, but I often find it sets itself to the absolute lowest brightness setting on occasions where it seems inappropriate. If there a way to change adaptive brightness so that it keeps the screen a little brighter?

I too experience this. Would love to hear if this is persistent across all users. The adaptive brightness is too dim even in a moderately lit environment.

No need to get rude dude. Did they mention anything about rooting the phone or installing xposed or Magisk? That being said, guys there are some kernels that can help ir try play store for some available apps.

There won't be a fix, because it isn't an issue
OnePlus does this since the OnePlus 3, and they will keep it.

Under the Heading "Last but not Least" , first paragraph last sentence addresses about the adaptive brightness.
Could you please share some info on the flickering issue you are referring to ?

Ask them, I really don't work for oneplus so I can't say :/ AOD isn't there natively on the phone so I wouldn't mention that part, but I'm sure they'll figure it out anyhow. Most custom roms has burn in protection for it that moves it around to avoid this, not sure if you used a bad module or something ?*

Any ROM for P40 Pro modified with google services?

Is there a modified Android ROM to introduce Google services for a Huawei P40 pro, instead of having to do it later with Goglefier or similar? If so, does it allow updates?

Yes there is now, but at the time it wasn't possible. Also pointless at the moment to open up your phone and unlock the bootloader as there's no custom roms in the work.

Its not done by software alone, you have to short a pin or two alongside software etc, not something most people are willing to do.

The method I saw used software test points. And I saw it first hand, it worked flawlessly if yet a bit nerve wrecking. I am not sure if the program is allowed to be mentioned here as it can have illicit uses so I won't say it's name but it's publicly available. I only seen it used on P40 pro + but would assume it works similarly for all P40 series devices.
I uploaded this way twrp, but due to the lack of modified software nothing after that I could not do more. I would need to know how to modify the software

Privacy on chinese phones

Hey there,
I've been using my Realme 5 Pro with an ungoogled custom ROM for a while now, and I felt safe until I saw a video from The Linux Experiment (Videolink is with timestamp):
In the video, he mentions that he no longer wants to use a Chinese phone because China might force the manufacturer to install spyware. I know that The Linux Experiment is very skilled, but in this case I am not sure if he is a little bit paranoid. ^^
My questions are:
1. Is it possible for Chinese companies to spy on a phone with an open bootloader, custom ROM, and custom recovery?
2.1 I have already read that backdoors on the hardware side might be possible. Is this true?
2.2 How high is the risk of this happening?
2.3 What Information can they get with a backdoor on the hardware side?
3. How concerned should I be, because getting a phone without chinese influence is very hard?
Thanks for your help.
PS: I don't want political discussions. Just the technical view on my concerns, which are my personal opinion.

Is it really worth the effort? wouldn't a Hardwarebackdoor mean, that you only get machine language which has to be processed and sorted?
For a very important device like the phone of a president or minister that might be a practical solution but how much work is it to do that for a massive amount of people?
Thanks for your answer!
