I'm working on building a custom ROM right now this dual boots Batocera and stock Android Batocera is ported to this tablet with custom kernel patches and running off SD card.

Anyone interested in helping? I've got most of the reverse engineering done I think all the hardware is working properly. Just for fun I got GPU acceleration working before Linux boots in the little kernel bootloader 🫡

got board made an app with Ghostlock and Magisk payloads from XDA. credits in github.

The phone is runing android 12 6gb ram 128gb storage, the instruction booklwt mensiones a manufactuer called haimeilan, i didnt flash a gsi i just used shizuku as it was quite stock anywase its based on a mtk turnkey rom, the phone is actualy decent to use it preforms like a samsung a12 or moto e7 power, i also swapwd out google apps for fossify and other fdroid equivilants, as if launcher i used smart launcher 6, its runing a bare bones mtk rom hents the generic icons on thr top bar and the os is a basic android 12 matrial you works, as of the specs it has a mtk6762v/cb 6gb ram 128gb storage, it also is more bare bones than lineage os, and because it was modeld after an iphone 15 pro max i got a good case for it ans remaped tbe action button as its hardcosed to mute i had to add a slight delay on the end and set a macro to open my app thrn set it to normal mode, this aint as cool as a gsi but it is more practical, its no prefomance phone but for £80 it isnt bad it makes calls it texts and most moden unbranded wlecome phones use android 10 or 12 but because mine had 12 as it was a newer one shizuku could start up on its own with developer options and its not horable, im pwm sensative and not a fan of how big companys make android skins, so i chose this because it was runing a close to stock rom anywase, i didnt even have to use a computer just fdroid and adding the izzy on droid repo and a fww others for other stuff like futo keyboard as the gboard i wasnt a fan of, ans dura speed with android 12 phantom process killer keepe it light and despite a 3500 mah cell it manages to last 2 days becuse it isnt run8ng intence apps

Currently I am trying to install Linux on my phone Samsung A14 but I need root permission. I tried to get into bootloader with adb and tutorials but I still keep getting the turquoise screen that just tells me to restart. Any help?

Features:

- Open any app on your phone directly in Android Auto.

- Always parked mode – Typing and full lists stay unlocked, even while driving.

- Launcher-first startup – No navigation, music, or autoplay until you open them yourself.

- Recent apps – Easily switch between running apps or close them completely. Closing an app actually stops it, including music apps.

- Phone screen mode – Use the Android Auto car interface directly on your phone, even without a car display.

- Sideloaded app support – Run Android Auto-compatible apps installed outside the Play Store.

- Performance optimizations – Lower frame rates and limit the car screen resolution for smoother performance on older phones.

- No required Google apps – Works without Google Maps, the Google app, or Speech Services.

- Telemetry disabled – Android Auto's telemetry is switched off.

- microG support – Use microG instead of Google Play Services, preventing Android Auto from communicating with Play Services.

- Reduced distractions – Mute notifications while keeping calls, media, and navigation visible. Removes News and Weather tiles.

- Advanced customization – Access Android Auto's hidden UX Prototype web app and override raw flags for additional control.

Hello everyone

I need a help.

Does anybody have nessecary files for firmware downgrade for Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 from Android version Lolipop to Kitkat and is it possible to do it only with ODIN without problems?

Thanks in advance.

I've got teesimulator play integrity fix inject and specter. I can't get strong integrity. It's using the pixel 6a. Wild you've got strong can you give me all your settings? I for the life of me can't get it...

So i bricked my tecno camon 30 4g and it won't handshake or go to recovery or fastboot i have full firmware version CL6-16.3.0.145SP18(OP005PF001AZ)

The phone has been unsupported by the company for some time, so I decided to root it and unlock the bootloader via deep testing, but it didn't work. I also tried to find a link or website to get the same ROM installed on the device as a backup in case something happens.

الهاتف اصبح غير مدعوم من الشركة منذ فترة لذلك قررت عمل الروت وفتح البوتلودر عبر deeptesting لكن الامر لم ينجح وايضا حاولت العثور علر رابط او موقع للحصول عل نفس الروم المثبت في الجهاز للاحتياط اذا حصل شيئ ما ولكن بعد بحث طويل لم اجد وفقدت الامل لذلك قمت بعمل هذا المنشور لتساعدوني على العثور على الروم الاصلي كما هو الموجود في الصورة

GSI used: LineageOS by misterztr
Working: Camera, Wi-Fi, Speaker

Surprisingly, it actually works:)

What is the major difference

I've seen devices with the same soc like nothing phone 2a (MT6886) has a custom Rom port so I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow port one for my device, and I've seen vivo released kernel sources for my device

As multiple people say you shouldn't modify your system with temporary root, is it safe to install an app as a system app, or will it end up soft bricked in some way? Reason I'm asking is because I wanna use Basic call recorder but it doesn't seem like the app is working correctly, which I think might be due to the fact that it's not installed as a system app

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been developing with the help of Claude. As someone who frequently changes ROMs and custom recoveries, I always found it tedious to manually search through different websites and forums to find the correct, up-to-date files for specific devices.

To solve this, I built ForgeROM—a fully open-source Android application designed to automate this entire workflow.

🚀 Key Features:

• Multi-API Automation: It queries the official APIs of LineageOS, crDroid, TWRP, and OrangeFox to instantly locate the correct, official files for your model.

• Smart Recommendations (AI Integration): Includes an optional AI module that can assist you during the process (requires your own custom API key).

• Root Mode Installation (Experimental): Features a built-in flashing mechanism via root access. Please note: This feature is highly experimental and hasn't been heavily tested yet, so use it with caution.

• 100% Free & Open Source: No ads, no tracking, and no paid paywalls.

📦 Source Code & Downloads:

The project is completely transparent. You can inspect the source code, build it yourself, or download the pre-compiled .apk directly from the GitHub Releases section:

Do you know of a way to free up more RAM for games? I have a Redmi 9 Lancelot A17 3/32 GB and I'm currently using Lineage OS 24.

I tried to run banking apps several times on lineage 24 and all methods not working despite same modules were working before on stock rom

may be the rom is the reason?!

This is a game of cat and mouse at this point.

realme patched the GhostLock path in the COOS17 update, but the kernel is still vulnerable to CVE-2026-64560 (UAF, posix-cpu-timers vs non-leader exec(); fix 920f893f735e only landed in 6.6.147).

I ported the fork to the RMX6699 (RE6400L1, SM8750, kernel 6.6.118-android15-8-g9bc34d5b0c79) and built a one-tap app around it.

What it does: leak the KASLR slide → forge a fake misc fops table → open /dev/uhid → real uid=0 + SELinux permissive + temp-su broker. Nothing is written to any partition, and it's gone after a reboot.

Requirements: realme RMX6699 on that exact kernel, plus Shizuku started (the payload's first gate opens /dev/uhid, so it has to run as shell uid 2000). Not for other devices/kernels.

Reliability: it's a race — expect retries; a miss needs a reboot.

APK + source: https://github.com/totsiaw/cve-2026-64560-rmx6699 (rolling app-latest release, or build it yourself)

⚠ Kernel exploit, it can panic/reboot the device.
