Read Time:1 Minute, 32 Second

Asus is set to introduce its new flagship smartphone, the ZenFone 10, to the global market on June 29. This device is the successor to the Asus ZenFone 9, which was launched in July 2022. The ZenFone 10 is anticipated to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and is rumored to feature a 5,000mAh battery with 67W wired fast charging capability. The smartphone’s global launch will take place in Taipei, Berlin, and New York, implying it will also be available in nearby regions. However, the official launch date for India has not been confirmed by Asus.

Earlier this year, Asus inadvertently revealed the ZenFone 10’s price through a test website, which listed the device at $749 (approximately Rs. 61,900). For comparison, the 8GB + 128GB variant of the Asus ZenFone 9 was priced at EUR 799 (approximately Rs. 64,800).

The ZenFone 10 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The device, which supports dual nano SIMs, is predicted to run on Android 13 with the ASUS ZenUI 10 skin. The smartphone is confirmed to be equipped with an octa-core 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with an Adreno GPU, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage.

The ZenFone 10 is likely to have a 200-megapixel primary rear camera sensor and an ultra-wide-angle shooter, with support for optical image stabilization (OIS) and 8K video recording. The device is also expected to support 5G, 4G, GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11ax 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. Other features may include stereo speakers, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Guide on LG V30 AOSP ROMs, troubleshooting & recommendations

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 13 Second


NOTE: I have stopped using LG V30 actively. So while many things below will be still useful, the guide does not have the list of bugs for Android 13 and above AOSP ROMs for now. Though I will update it once I get time to test Android 14 ROMs. #LGV30forever

On this page, I’ll basically talk about AOSP ROMs, their bugs, possible solutions, suggested Mods to use etc.

LG V30 Custom ROM reviews: https://aakashverma.com/lg-v30-all-custom-rom-video-reviews/

General Tips

1. All Pie AOSP ROMs except LOS16 Beta need Oreo Blobs i.e. Oreo Firmware
2. All Android 10 and 11 AOSP ROMs need Pie Blobs i.e. Stock Pie Firmware. Just use any pie firmware compatible with your variant.
3. If the ROM doesn’t boot for you or you have issue of camera & Flashlight not working then try using permissive SElinux. Flash this in TWRP and select permissive: https://zackptg5.com/downloads/Kernel-Sepolicy-Patcher.zip
4. Recommended Gapps: https://nikgapps.github.io/
5. If SafetyNet does not pass then apps like netflix, google pay may detect root and refuse to work. This be easily resolved by this module: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix . Enable zygisk and also add the apps you want to hide root from to the denylist.
6. LG camera(and other LG apps) does not and will never work on AOSP. Use Gcam from here: https://t.me/Lgcam (Much better pictures than stock camera). Instead of LG music player you may try AIMP, UAPP or Neutron.

Kernel and ROM compatibility

1. Kernels made for Android 11 will disable wifi on stock pie and Android 10

2. Android 10 kernels will work on stock pie but will break wifi on A11.

3. Android 9 AOSP kernels can be used on Stock Oreo but not on Stock Pie, Android 10 and Android 11.

AOSP Pie ROMs after Stock Pie

If you flash pie KDZ then AOSP ROMs like LOS, RR, havoc won’t work properly.(might not boot or things like camera may not work).

Even if you flash Oreo KDZ and then flash AOSP ROMs, the camera and flashlight won’t work on enforcing but will work on permissive selinux.
But even on permissive a few sensors may not work(e.g. pocketmode). Still ROMs work decently if you downgrade to oreo firmware.
There is no workaround for this.

Note: Los17, Liquid Q and any other Android 10 ROMs need Pie firmware.

Stock Pie after Android 10 or 11 AOSP ROMs

If Camera and flashlight doesn’t work for you on stock pie after AOSP ROMs then do this:-
1) Restore persist in TWRP that you backed up from stock Pie
2) Dirty flash twrp zip of the stock ROM
3) If 1 doesn’t work then Flash this in TWRP and select permissive: https://zackptg5.com/downloads/Kernel-Sepolicy-Patcher.zip . This will definitely fix the camera for you.

Bugs on Android 12 ROMs (Work in progress/ not a definitive list)

  1. No VoLTE or VoWifi.
  2. USB debugging issue of some ROMs.

Bugs on Android 11 ROMs

  1. No VoLTE or VoWifi
  2. AOD brightness can’t changed. OLED Saver app can be used to change it.
  3. If you have GPS issues then do this fix: https://t.me/LGV30U/1187
  4. Chrome freezes and does not work for some people. Use chrome v74 or another browser.
  5. FM radio does not work.
  6. Most Gcams have trouble recording videos.

Bugs on Android 10 ROMs
1. Wifi may or May not work for you
If it doesn’t work then try: https://t.me/LGV30U/914
2. If wifi is unstable try Flashing oreo modem(using img file in twrp)
a) H930 Modem: https://t.me/LGV30U/128
b) US998 Modem: https://t.me/LGV30U/124
3. AOD brightness can’t changed. OLED Saver app can be used to change

4. Android Auto doesn’t work (Solved on Resurrection Remix 8.6.7)
5. No VoLTE or VoWifi
6. Turn off wifi scanning under location settings otherwise you’ll have soft reboots while turning on/off Wifi.
If you are having sim issues after a soft reboot because of this, turn airplane mode on and off!
7. Sprint has some issues: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/sprint-lte-data-issues-aosp-roms-t3927841
8. Screencast doesn’t work too well.
9. While on call, touchscreen still takes input even when display is turned off via proximity sensor.

Bugs on Pie ROMs

1. No VoLTE or VoWifi
2. AVC reset bug when you pause and play music.
3. Have to say ‘Ok Google’ twice to launch google assistant.
4. Static sound on loudspeaker on video calls, PUBG etc. Use earphones and it will work fine.
5. Sprint has some issues: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/sprint-lte-data-issues-aosp-roms-t3927841
6. U.S. Verizon carrier users have to make a phone call after any reboots to receive texts.
7. Screencast broken.

Warning: These are from my experience. Using customs ROMs can cause you issues. I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device so proceed with caution.

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

Motorola’s foldable smartphone has been leaking all over the internet for the past year. We finally have a official word on when it might actually launch. Motorola has chosen to play on people’s nostalgic side by launching it under the iconic Razr brand which was once known for offering premium-looking clamshell phones and form factor of a flip phone. Motorola Razr will be directly competing against the likes of Huawei Mate X and Samsung Galaxy Fold with its foldable design. VP of Global Product Dan Dery in a media interview back in February had said “We started to work on foldables a long time ago,”teasing the launch of a foldable phone.

Suggesting the comeback of the Razr brand, the invite reads, “An original unlike any other.” and also mentions “You’re going to flip.”

The specifications will be:-

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC
  • 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage
  • 6.2-inch (876×2142 pixels) folding display alongside a secondary display of 600×800 pixels resolution.

Motorola will take a different approach of putting a single flexible display that folds twice and comes with a dual-hinge design. It will carry a price tag of around EUR 1,500 (Rs. 1,20,000) and will be unveiled at November 13 Los Angeles Event.
