Customizing an *.img based on (or using) other *.img's

I forgot to mention that this is a question thread and not a tutorial (I don't know how to fix it)
I got this cheap tablet (enet E-714JK), I bricked it and want to make it work again and even better than before because it's really a cool tablet and I love it, the problem is : the *.img or the firmware or the rom ( I really don't know the difference between them, it would be helpful to know)
I've the original rom (I'll call it rom-00.fw) but it has these issues
1- as you've read, it's in the *.fw format which I don't know how to flash (I only know how to flash the *.img format)
2- also the volume buttons don't work in recovery mode, and there is this error (E : fopen error /data/miraGSensor0ffset.txt)
3- it displays wrong capacity for internal sd storage (it shows 5.76gb instead of actually 1.11gb)
4- the resolution is low (800*480 everything is a bit larger than normal), and shows only half of the folder lables on homescreen
5- the built in backgrounds are horrible
so I got other roms A, B & C
A- I got this rom (I'll call it rom-01.img) that has the same issues, also it has this error in the camera (camera crashes when switching to panorama mode, also the camera UI style and controls are different from the original, and it enables choosing a quality for the shoots)
** the good thing about this rom-01.img is that it displayes the correct storage capacity **
B- I also got this rom (I'll call it rom-02.img) that doesn't have all of the issues but has other issues (the wifi & bluetooth don't work, it has support for cellular connectivity - apparently it's a rom for a phone or a phone tablet of some sort - mine doesn't have cellular connectivity)
** the good thing about this rom-02.img is that it has a **higher resolution** 1024*600 and everything looks fine and cool, but hte touch screen is filipped a 180 degrees - you know.. what is left became right (plus) what is up became down **
** and the recovery mode works with touch (the touch is still flipped, and the volume buttons still don't work though) and gives no errors at all **
** also it has cool built in wallpapers **
C- I also got this rom (I'll call it rom-03.img) that is the exact copy of the original rom but has different personlizations, like boot logos, and different home-screen wallpaper, and of course the information about the tablet is different ..etc, but same functionality nonetheless
my question is, using these 4 firmwares, is there a way to have a "rom-xx.img" that will :
1- work fine (specially WiFi, Bluetooth & camera)
2- have the correct boot logo and home-screen wallpaper and other personlizations
3- show the correct storage capacity for internal storage and internal SD - NOTE 1
4- have the recovery mode works either with touch (but corrected and not flipped ofcource) or with the volume buttons
5- have a resolution so that everything looks fine, or higher resolution 1024*600 with touch working fine
6- have cool built in wallpapers
optional : 7- have a set of desired apps of course
- NOTE 1 - (optional : is there a way to manipulate the size of each, like taking some storage from internal SD and add it to internal storage)
thank you

Android 7.1.2 Nougat On Huawei Y5 2017 Custom ROM, CrDroid OS

This is found on Mod Edit :- Links Removed
Use at your own risks.
Its a beta version, CrDrold OS ported to Android 7.1.2
What works:
+ Led-indication (LED) works both on the drain (green / red)
+ SMS receives and sends.
+ 2 / 3G catches including mobile Internet.
+ GPS works.
+ WiFi (including as an access point).
+ BT with my clock synchronized and files transferred.
+ FM-radio-works (in any case, hisses)))
+ Various multimedia
+ Standard browser works
+ 2x windowed mode works
+ For those to whom it is important - Association of drives, checked-works.
+ LiveDispley - night mode, read mode, blue filter no matter how the review, in general it works and almost without animation brakes.
+ Additional button - works
+ Camera. As it should be 8mp rear, 5mp front, both flashes, does not blush, does not green, photos are saved, the video is removed, autofocus plows.
+ Engineering menu-works, call through the utility.
+ Compass (patch below)
+ System ROOT - activate and control access in the "for developers" menu / Beta2 uses SuperSu .
+ Google Playmarket - of all gaps the current it. So it was at the source and it suits me. All the rest download through the market.
Not works:
* Beta2 - WiFi does not work immediately after installation. It is treated with a patch on the compass! (ie one patch will fix both that and another)
* Connecting and using the bluetooth headset causes terrible brakes
* Some video on YouTube (via the application) break up into squares. Through the browser, everything loses normally. I'm using Tubemate and everything is ok.
Installation:
As zip-installer through TWRP, preliminary making wipe dalvick, cache, system, data . In an ideal and internal memory it is also desirable to wipe

Android 8 PX5 MTCE_LM_v2.88_1 for VW multiple problems - no vendor support

Hi Guys,
really need some help with this unit WG9018S i bought from Eunavi (don't buy from them). Bought on 11.11 for xmas via aliexpress, so can't dispute the purchase now.
1) GPS accelerator does not work. iGO says looking for satellites and Sygic sees the satellites and can turn in the cars direction, but does not follow the car on the map.
GPS Status tool says GPS Sensor available, but acceleratometer has malfunction. In built GPS Status shows the speed, sats locked, etc.
2) TMPS can see the sensors ID, voltage but not tyre pressure. (have tried multiple versions of software)
3) reverse camera only works for a few moments before screen goes blank.
4) permanent static noise from speakers. Noise changes e.g. has clicks, when menu items are scrolled or changed. noise is there for radio, SD, etc.
actually purchased Sygic and was using trial version of iGo - so both are/were fully legit packages.
Other comments, when i first installed, it cold booted every time car started. Now it picks up where it was. can't find a setting to switch back to cold booting.
enabling developer options, no menu shows up.
have tried a number of factory resets from the menu, but not convinced it has been fully reset.
Should i try to boot into recovery mode and delete cache, etc.? how to boot into recovery mode.
really appreciate some help. Cheers

wanted to give an update after >1000km.
1) GPS with Sygic, etc seems to randomly work for intermittent periods. I notice with the GPS Status tool, that 0/10-15 sats i.e. all grey when it doesn't work and a number green when it does work. Same in Sygic, all sats show as grey when not working and some as blue when working.
** google maps works in all instances on GPS only which also makes me wonder if android as something built in to limit 3rd party integration
2) Reverse camera flickers much more (when working) than WinCE HU. I note it works for between 30s - 3min in daylight i.e. no infrared and 10s - 30s at night when infrared is using.
I am wondering if there is an earthing problem in view of the reliability issues.

Have you tried other GPS apps ? There are 30 odd in the Playstore.

I didn't get any support from anyone so far, but in case someone else is having the same problems, here is what i can say so far.
3) Reverse Camera Failure
- changed MCU from MTCE_LM_v2.88_1 to MTCE_HA_v2.99 - seems to have solved this problem
Steps -
a) download from MTCD DMCU Yandex
b) save dmcu settings from factory settings screen (but also take screen shot copy of LM settings as dmcu.cfg does not seem to restore)
c) use about MCU Update
d) check factory settings and manually reset values - particularly CANBUS, BT Type, LCD Type, etc.
- need to manually remap display keys as well
* some settings appear to be correct but functionality doesn't work i.e. reverse camera settings. change the value apply and change it back *
1) GPS not locking
- changed system ROM from MTCE_LM_07-2018 to MTCE_HA_12-2018 - seems to have solved this problem
Steps -
a) download from MTCD SYSROM Yandex
b) backup existing apps/data
c) use about System Update (perform full format/erase)
d) reinstall / restore apps / data
2) TMPS was pairing problem i have solved by deflating type, but i still have problem every time the system starts,
it forgets that i have allowed the USB connection and i need to re-check the box.
Audio I am still working on.

No.

-Facebook applications can't record video (Video capture fail error)
-------Found problem--------
The only system wide equalizer system that still works (the one explained here) on our device is causing the problem related to recording video in Facebook/Facebook Messenger/Instagram. Force closing the app now enables the video recording and as soon as the app is restarted the problem occurs again. And that's weird because the DSP isn't supposed to mess up the microphone or whatever facebook finds faulty and cancels the recording... Weird... Will look this up and update if solution is found.
Going back to the PRO version of that app now totally ignores the volume control of the device, which means in this .5 built the audio paths were modified. With pro version video recording is still failing. This is not a fix from xiaomi, this is an internal workaround, which is bad!!!
Even clearing the system, problem still persists. Checked permissions, checked storage writing, all is working, except video recording.
--------End of edit--------
-Sim settings does not respect system theme (only white)
--------Lazy modding from Xiaomi, this is the same dual sim controller app you had in Android Pie, just thrown in the Q environment--------
-Refreshing external device problem still persistent, new data copied on to the device only visible after reboot.
--------Not the only one with this problem, this is basically related to having huge folders on your SD card. I have a folder with >15k files in it)--------
-Sometimes some large games force close, but are fine after restarting the app (only sometimes - Only applicable on Gameloft ones - Totally unimportant)
What was fixed:
-Video record sound can now work with Google Voice turned on
-Ram management works fine for me (4/64)
??? Questionable effects:
-Lock screen sounds work for me (testing after a reset, still working just fine)
-Charging/USB sounds seems too low for me (problem persists, the vibration of the device is actually covering the sound)
Other than this, everything else remained the same as per what I wrote in my previous replies.
Qualcomm's app for data collection is still there, so this may be another partial release. They fixed something but the broke something else in another place.
Another lazy update, the battery is draining much faster than on .4 version, waiting for calibration. I'm starting to get sick over their incompetence to test and deliver a good end user experience.

OTA Link: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.5.0.QDLMIXM/miui_DAISYGlobal_V11.0.5.0.QDLMIXM_4e152f6600_10.0.zip
Let's not conclude quickly that the memory leak has benn fixed. I am trying to trigger it.
edit:
The device did not wake up from sleep, I got a random reboot.
magisk works as it should.

I install the update OTA this morning from official pie, the phone work well, the phone signal is a bit weak but all works well. No gesture in smart Launcher 5, i have fluid gesture for this feature.

Mine doesn't work too.
It began after upgrading to Q.
Also did two reset through settings, but nothing changed, still missing.
Have you maybe tried to flash fastboot image ?

I upgraded through ota from 10.0.18 to 11.0.4 and then i did Factory reset;
- New Charging sound was gone
- Lockscreen sounds doesnt work neither v11.0.4 nor v11.0.5

Anyone else getting super slow charging with this update? This is my first attempt to upgrade from Pie, and I've gone from 23% to 25% in almost an hour on standby...

- Direct share is still not available.

Please what do i do?
My phone is stuck with boot loop after upgrade to android 10.
how can i downgrade?

hi all!
face unlock function is gone completely, but after poking around I found that is the 'feature' and requirement of android 10 due to google's security concerns. ok...
but the problem I am facing is of a different nature. After update, I did factory reset but did not remove fingerprints prior to that operation. Now fingerprint enrolment fails every time I attempt to add another fingerprint. I was doing some digging around before posting this, and I already did try some of the solutions suggested for some other models which I have found scattered across XDA / so I already did boot twrp and erased via twrp file manager some of the files in /persist/data but that did not help.
any suggestions that could help, please?! thank you!

also, did anyone find a way to get rid of CUSTOMIZE PIXEL message?

Yes: -
1. Sell Mi A2 Lite
2. Buy a Pixel
Seems bizarre that the Pixel would not force this message on you and the Android One phone would but at the point this phone is exactly that, just a bizarre curiosity. Bye bye Xiaomi.

You've got to hand-exit the XML file in the settings suggestion data folder. You'll need root. Or you could boot (not install) TWRP and edit from there.
If your bootloader is locked, there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it. You can clear data on settings suggestions but the suggestions will come back and can't be dismissed.

thanks. my boot loader is unlocked so I can boot easily into twrp. But I am not sure what do you mean with hand-exit and which exactly folder that xml file is in? thanks again.

This happened to me after upgrading a Xiaomi Mi A2 to Android 10 from Android 9.
Might be related to the "/data/data/com.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs/suggestions.xml" file not updating some values properly, since some users with rooted systems have changed manually this values to "true":
​
<boolean name="com.google.android.gm/com.google.android.gm.setup.AccountSetupFinalGmailSuggestions_is_dismissed" value="true" />
<boolean name="com.android.settings/com.android.settings.notification.ZenSuggestionActivity_is_dismissed" value="true" />
​A​nd the suggestions don't appear to them anymore.
I had to do this a few times, as new things popped up.

CRDroid v316 GSI (Variant of AOSP-Phh-treble + CRDroid)

You're stuck on MIUI 12.5.4.0 and you cant flash a working custom recovery?
You're too lazy or too newbish to build your own?
Cant flash any Custom Rom?
Well you can just learn how to flash these TREBLE PHH Images, GSI-AOSP based images.
Here i show you how to flash CRDroid v316 . Its based on Android 11R
These images can be flashed with just fastbootd, and they work PERFECTLY, even better than many of the images i've tried here.
You wont have to face hardbricks ever again (specially when flashing MIUI), you can get rid of it once and for all, get rid of Xiaomi and all of its bloatware.
And you can always continue flashing these ROMS or other ROMS (If they're the same Android version or 1 version above). They have root by default most of them.
I made a guide showing how to flash this image.

Notes about tinkering with Android Project Treble. Contribute to phhusson/treble_experimentations development by creating an account on GitHub.

Supported Devices: Xiaomi Redmi 9A 9i 9AT 10A​
To flash
Basically you just need:
Stock Recovery
Bootloader Unlocked
vbmeta.img (you can also use the one that comes with your MIUI IMAGE)
ADB/Fastboot
An " arm32_binder64 " image (Also called A64 image) that is compatible with your Android Version. (For example This image of CRDroid crdrom-v316-220330-a64-bvZ.img.xz is compatible for us, its the one being used in the tutorial).
Patience
What works?
Everything works, there are bugs in Display Brightness and Headphones
VOLTE (UNTESTED)
What doesn't Work?
In some images, of A10 - A13, for somer eason, RIL , the Radio Interface Layer is dead, so SIM doesn't work, we need to build Images or somehow work-around it, or try various images, to see which ones work.
So far RIL works perfectly, sim card works in eremitein Images, you will find a link to these images posted on the guide.,
RIL/SIM works in the the CRDroid image i used, it was built/published by eremitein.
All credits go to these people.
Fixes​*Improve Wifi - Disable Wifi Power Saving
Important fix " In many Android 11 custom roms the Wifi in this phone becomes weaker, Less txpower, refresh 3 times max every 2 mins, has sometimes latency, range issues, this will improve it by 10-15%
Open Terminal Emulator
Turn your wifi on like a big man, use:
su
iw dev wlan0 set power_save off
(to check that your wifi powersaving has been turned off, use)
iw dev wlan0 get power_save
exit
exit
(To make this persistent between reboots, use an apk to launch scripts on boot)
*Improve Wlan0 TxPower
(In the future i will add how to change TxPower, lets be patient, im learning too, it seems possible though, i need it for pentesting, i discovered a way to use our precious monitor mode, but its my secret only, if someone teaches me how to improve txpower i will teach them to use monitor mode, we can trade)
*Fix headphone issues, if present, execute these lines on any Terminal Emulator then reboot.
su
setprop persist.sys.overlay.devinputjack true
*Fix brightness/display adjustment,
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness $(cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness)
Please Report if the CRDroid Image works for you. And if you have the Time/Internet available feel free to download other Images from different developers and report if other Images work perfectly or not.
I for my part will stick to this rom for a looooong time, and wait until android 14-16 has released, maybe then i will meditate upon using another phone/rom (because it just works very well for me).
More information can be found here:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list/

Well, was stuck on MIUI 12.5.3.0 global, did not wanna test my luck flashing custom recoveries so tried this, so far good, only bug for my is bluetooth can t transmit data, connects ok but no data or music, so i use headphones and everything is ok, ,RIL is ok, don t use volte, auto brightness bug is more or less livable, haven t tested the fix in terminal yet, SOT more than 5hours in a no game scenario, more than 48 hours of charge from 100% to 13%, phone charges as expected, feels very snappy, using a Gcamgo and almost as good as miui cam, excellent work to eremitein.

Thanks for this! Do you know if camera2 API is enabled in this ROM? By that, I mean do manual camera options like ISO, shutter speed options exist? You can check by installing camera apps like Open Camera.
Thanks.

Found glitch in this Rom, if i turn on lockscreen security by pattern, sudenly home key and recents key stop working, if i deactivate the lockscreen security feature, navbar buttons work as the should again.
