I've read the info at SamMobile (related to SamFirmware).
Anyone tried the ROM? From the comments, there are still plenty of bugs...
Edit: Whoever rated this thread 1star is a true moron and a real idiot.
This is a developer site where people do use beta versions.

There are several threads around here already concerning people using this ROM, so yes, people have used it. General consensus is that it's too unstable for daily use.
I'd be tempted to 1-star this thread as well due to lack of searching on your part.

Well I'll be nice and respond to you.
I've played around with the XXKP1 ROM and for the most part, it was surprisingly stable.
The default launcher IS quite temperamental, so I installed the Trebuchet launcher and 90% of the FC's disappeared. This launcher is a MUST on these leaked ROMs for the time being.
In order to get the best possible experience with these leaked ROMs you need to:
* Install the Bezke XXKP1/2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393569) - Flashable through CWM and is pre-rooted and also has the RIL fixes for 3G data
* Change the default keyboard to the standard Android one as soon as you can one to stop the keyboard FC's.
* Install the Trebuchet launcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=821149&d=1324230099) - and place it in /system/app folder. It should open when you press the home button. Set it as the default launcher.
* Stop the media scanner from running - it's a BIG battery drainer - go to Settings/Applications/Running and stop it there, and also stop the cached process
* Turn off key press sounds and lock screen sounds - having these on causes a continuous partial partial wave lock called 'AudioOut_1' - battery drainer
* Install these Calendar apks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19448865&postcount=2) in /system/app to get the calendar working. Once in /system/app, click on them both to install them. The Calendar will now work
* If you want to use the Contacts.apk and Phone.apk from the 'vanilla' ICS ROM (instead of the installed TW ones) download those APK's (http://www.multiupload.com/6T0019180O) and put them in /system/app. Don't install the MMS.apk though it will break things!
* Turn off the red border from appearing on some screens by going to the Dev Tools App > Development settings > strictmode visual indicator > put it in OFF MODE - then reboot for this to take effect
Battery life then falls to normal levels. Be aware though that when you connect your phone to your computer to transfer files etc, that a media scan will be run again when you disconnect. You'll have to force stop the media scan again otherwise it will keep running.
What rom? That's been kept quiet hasn't it? Certainly no info or discussions anywhere on these forums about it
Everyone will 1-star this because you didn't bother to search before starting a new thread on the same topic!

Are you for real? I've been a forum member on many sites (not to mention developing vBulletin forum software) since forever, I know how to search. Not to mention that the SamMobile post was made today...
Edit: My bad, I apologize. Just found the thread now... it was not on the first page of results when I initially searched and I never look further than a page (like anyone else I guess). Still, rating a thread 1star is really a baby game. Why not just post the link instead? This is a discussion forum where people communicate, not a Nazi camp where the Moron Patrol votes 1's on everything they think is stupid.
Searching, always searching...
The search here can be finicky, but a google search on site:forums.xda-developers.com is generally good, and fairly up date as well.
So, Just days after making my post about my thoughts on the latest stable Miui.us Rom which is version 2.10.26.3 I was looking through the original dev section and came across (almost as soon as it was put out) The Miui Lens edition. Which was originally titled to imply that the rom was able to be used right off the bat as a daily driver, so I downloaded, and installed it. And here was my original impression.
Before the first update release the rom was uninstallable, but this was fixed.
I installed it to realize that I stupidly had not installed gapps, so I picked from one of my default gapps version I keep on my SD card, and installed it.
I got back into the rom, to realize that out of the hardware keys (back, home, recent apps) the only one working, was back.
Within minutes, this rom was updated to fix said issue. And I currently have all buttons working, that said I am having a haptic feedback issue where none of the buttons make the phone vibrate, this was not enough of an issue to get me off the rom, so I continued and until today was waiting for another update to hopefully fix the issue, but even with said update, issues are existant that still make phone usage not completely satisfying, as it was in the Miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of this rom.
Usability current Testing results, and thoughts:
I would like to start out here by saying that I have every intention of going back to the lens release of miui as soon as I can confirm that it is stable enough for ME to use as a daily, which for me, generally means that everything I do on the phone has to function properly, without the need of downloading a separate application, or having to fix things manually. I like the lens release of the rom more SPECIFICALLY because of the developer. His releases of the Miui rom are getting better, not worse, and I likely believe that he will create the perfect Miui rom for our phone faster than the developers at Miui.us.
1. Miui Launcher Configuration is functioning properly
2. Miui Themes is currently functioning properly as long as an account is set up, during the set up process.
3. Miui Music test showed first, that the app was functioning properly, however upon secondary test of setting configuration I realized that when
the Id3 tag correction and album art download was enabled without setting up an account during setup process, that the music app would F/C
I rebooted and cleared my cache and dalvic.
4. Headphone test (Brought to you by the Lens Rom Forum) failed, without an application (headphone toggle) from the Marketplace any -----------headphones plugged into the device, will not output sound. The device will remain on speaker.
5. Miui Sound Recorder, upon initializing sound record brings the emergency notification (Internal Application Error)
6. Miui Music Visualizer on both lockscreen and widget are responding to system sounds only (such as a notification, or a previously enabled or defaulted touch sound. They do not respond to music.
7. Miui will not detect that music is playing and alter the lockscreen to music format for you, because of this, to access the lockscreen music controls you must double tap on the...dongle to drag and unlock, to switch to the music control lockscreen, this is not a major issue, however with the visualizer not working, the controls, and the widget look a tad bland for Miui. (odd how that works)
8. The Miui Virus Scanning Application is functioning properly (a test was done with a known app to contain a virus, it was found and removed)
9. The Miui Shake to organize on home screen is not currently an available feature for this rom.
10. The Miui Notes application is functioning properly.
11. The Miui Setup Process was completed without error.
12. Miui Wifi download speeds seem comparable to sense. However an issue with rom abuse may cause you to loose ALL internet access until phone was rebooted, I cannot test further as I am still currently unaware of how this happened. But after I got this rom, I was preforming tests on it to test stability for 3 hours straight without letting the device sleep, after 3 hours (and some odd minutes) my internet, while displaying I had a perfect connection in 3g, and wifi, would not download an app, load a webpage (tested on 3 separate browsers), or allow internet access to an application.
13. The Miui firewall application, Seems, to be functioning properly, however when first setup it did not block the first incoming call from test subject. All others, were blocked respectively.
14. The Miui Camera featured in this rom (actually a camera from a previous AOSP rom) is functioning properly, with all settings configured, It is not a Miui Camera but a modded camera none the less, and has interesting features, that I will miss, upon loosing this rom.
15. All Miui Notification configurations are working properly
16. Miui sound mods have been enabled on this device, allowing me to hear my ringtone from 3 rooms away in an apartment (currently not so on cm10, and Paranoid android (tho I do love that rom))
17. Miui Online music, notifications, themes, album art, and id3 tag correction will only work if an account is set up at the initial boot of the room during setup.
18. The Miui Torch is working without issue on this rom.
19. Awesome beats v3 is untestable at the moment but assumed working, as headphones can be enabled.
20. The Miui Built in equalizer is working properly on this rom.
21. The Komodo Sweep to Wake OC kernel is currently working properly on this rom.
22. Live wallpapers are working correctly on this rom
23. Miui Weather Widgets cannot function without a translated version of the Miui Weather Application that can detect US cities (not yet available)
24. The Miui Clock application seems to be functioning properly (tested alarm, timer, timezone config, and stopwatch)
25. The Miui Smart Dialer seems to be functioning properly
26. The Miui Call Record feature seems to be functioning properly (tested on a call with test subject)
27. Lockscreen wallpaper changer, homescreen wallpaper change, and live wallpaper change are functioning properly .
28. There is not a Miui Toolbox application on this rom (No root configuration other than what is listed in settings)
29. Adblock for android seems to be working on this rom.
30. Notification dual touch re-size seems to be functioning correctly on this rom.
31. Lucky patcher confirmed installed properly on this rom.
32. LBE guard and App control Miui Applications are functioning properly on this rom.
33. Prompt requesting root access is working properly on this rom.
34. Anreboot, and goo manager are working properly on this rom.
35. Dual core AOSP mod is functioning properly on this rom.
36. All but weather widgets are currently functioning properly on this rom.
37. Google voice (brought to you by the Lens rom Forum) is not currently working on this rom.
-I would like to point out, that sprint is partnered with google voice, and you can set it to replace your actual voicemail, and text you visual voicemail, making all your texts go to you, and all calls go to you, you have visual voicemail, and regular voicemail. It will also screen your calls and blah blah, idk what the app is for if it already does that, if you know something that you would be missing, please inform me promptly.
38. Lucky patcher patch confirmed working on all different configurations on multiple applications.
39. Flash for JB is working perfectly on this rom.
40. the Miui Browser is functioning perfectly on this rom.
41. the miui contacts application is functioning properly on this rom.
42. The miui messaging application is working properly on this rom.
43. The Miui Torch application is functioning properly on this rom.
44. The miui (breaking news) I just got another music F/C on lockscreen double-tap access
45. The miui Compass is working properly on this rom.
46. All lockscreen transition options are working properly on this rom.
47. 3g, 1x signal bars seem to be accurate in comparison to sense rom.
48. Calendar, reminders for calendar, and notifications for calendar are working properly on this rom.
49. GPS is gives me results accurate to 100 meters on this rom instantly, on Miui.us I get an instant lock to within 20 meters.
50. Mirror widgets are working properly on this phone.
51. Bluetooth is working properly on this rom.
If you have something you would like me to test other than the 51 things i have already tested for you please let me know below and I will try to get around to it within 1-2 days. I will keep a backup of this and of The Miui.us rom and keep them both updated, i will also, keep both of these posts updated to the best of my ability.
Thank you very much, and i hope you have a wonderful day.

I am...
I am a rom addicted htc user who wants to provide information for those who don't wish to flash a rom, and then find problems, when they could have looked to someone to tell them in the first place, and saved themselves the trouble.
I am also a rom addicted htc user who wants to see the roms I have loved on other devices (like the Miui rom) brought to the phone I love.
So I test to ensure that no one who is looking for a daily driver has to go through the pains of downloading a broken rom without them knowing about it when the information about the problems was nowhere to be found, but the good things about the rom displayed clearly in plain sight.
Thank you for replying to my post, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
If you're gonna do this you should make a general ROM review thread instead of making a new one every time you review a different ROM. Every time you write a different review in the thread just update the op with a link to the post with that review. Its not a bad idea what you're doing. It would just be better for everyone, including yourself, to have them consolidated into one thread.
Thank you for viewing my post.

Definitely understood youdug, actually thinking about creating a thread and moving all old OP review threads down a notch, so that the new review can be made more easily readable by people with quick running attention spans as the thread is updated, using multiple edits thats gonna be a hassle though at the moment while i have a time restricted limit on editing and posting, i was also posting them in seperate threads so that they would be viewed quicker and i could assign multiple tags to each, but i hadnt really thought about how i could put them in one thread while making them easily accessible.
Will definitely create a general rom review thread and find a way to make it work and once again...

Assuming the authenticity of your post I suggest a pro and con approach to reviewing. Saying that a certain feature is working just makes your review look like a college textbook.

My thoughts are that it, and a few other ROMs, aren't GPL compliant.

I was thinking wow, amazingly harsh considering I watched this rom coming together over xda via communication between lens and various testers since he doesn't even have the device.. Maybe consider knowing how things came about b4 criticizing?? Just my 2 cents.. No intent of offense whatsoever..
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
thankyou...XHAUS
and the others....
I will try and update my rom fully and comply with the gpl compliance rule...
I may have been mistaken but...I thought GPL only complied to Kernels and maybe source based roms.....
If i am doing something wrong..;.Please let me know through PM and I will be sure to fix whatever is wrong....
But to all you evo users
and to all miui users this projects that i am doing for the evo lte is all thanks to the testers.
I couldnt have completed the rom since I dont have the phone..But thanks to the testers here
We all made this happen

Thank you for replying to my post. I could make it that way but im going to have to figure out how to do so without leaving some things out for testing, I suppose I could test and not post all the results from my testing on the forum and only post that things are working or that they aren't and I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post.
@flex 360
I hope you do not take this as a REVIEW of the rom, but simply as what is working and what isn't, and im only displaying this information for the people who don't want to take the time to go through 100 pages of a forum to find out if a problem has been solved, just to find 20 pages later that another problem has shown up, Im not displaying this for people testing the rom as they want to go through and find the issues that you may have missed and comment on them to help development. Im writing these from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't want to test a rom, but does want to use it, because I am certain you know that there are a lot more of those people out there than people willing to test the rom.
But if you would like me not to post a view on your rom, I suppose I will not, but I can already promise you, that sometime in the past I have already flashed your rom onto my phone and used it for atleast a little while.
@fpineda101
Thank you for replying to my post, and I am glad that you understand what I am trying to do here along with some others. I am starting to understand that these "reviews" are coming off, to some people, in a different way than I intended them to. Although I would have left the term "noob" out of my comment I appreciate your understanding.
@sparytrainor
Thank you for replying to my post. I sincerely wish you would have read the entire OP before making a comment such as that. I gave many compliments to Lens throughout the entire thing, and I still believe he will have the rom working perfectly on our phones before anyone else out there because of how much effort he is putting into the development of his rom, I in no way intended to state anything negative about his rom, But to give information to people not looking to test, what is working, and what is not. Now that I understand how it is coming off to you and others I will begin to choose my wording more carefully.
Also, I had the rom within minutes of it being posted on xda-developers, and watched as it developed through the forum for a few days. To claim that I should look into knowing the person when I was one of the first to download and await progress is an incorrect assessment.
I also know that he is creating this rom without having the actual phone, which is inspiring, and another reason I attempted to compliment him throughout the entire process of the OP.
@Lens_Flare
Thank you VERY much for replying on my post. I do very much appreciate it and I hope you took no offence to my OP as I in no way intended for it to come off negative. I also hope that you understand my original (and previously stated) purpose for these threads. I am simply stating to the people, (not testers) but the majority, who are looking for a rom to stick with, that they can enjoy from start to finish.
I expect you to be the first to complete this rom for our phone and make it fully functional, WHICH IS ASTOUNDING because you do not have the actual phone. In all respects I look up to you and all rom devlopers on this phone as I am not one who currently possess is the ability to make one, and to be honest if I ever wanted to gain the knowledge and EVER create a rom, it wouldn't become popular as it would be a rom I could not post on this site (for legal reasons based on the apps and features that the rom contained, such as lucky patcher and black mart)
@All Rom Devs on xda-developers.com
I honestly had hoped that I would not have to clarify, least of all to you, my intentions for these threads. I simply originated with thoughts similar to those of the majority (the initial thought being, I want something different) and not as a tester of these roms, but as I came across a few (some not listed on xda-developers.com) and I realized that some of the roms that I REALLY wanted to try on my phone, fall in love with, and never switch from again, claimed no-where on their rom thread what the rom was currently missing, or what was broken (please note: I do not mean ALL roms on this site, but a few) and upon asking, I received the response (Flash, and see for yourself) which I at the time, I was not completely willing to do (as i generally have a pretty busy schedule, and cannot waste time flashing 3-4 roms a day). So i came to the thought everyone does, if you cant find someone to do it for you, do it yourself. Which lead me to do something that i do not generally want to do, but the majority of people downloading your roms are not testers, so i decided to take upon myself. Which is create these threads, and attempt in a way to make the issues seemingly understandable to people who do not even possess the proper knowledge required to understand what is wrong with the rom, even if told to them bluntly. Which i apologize to the majority, but again, is most people.
So if my reviews have AT ALL offended or been taken negatively by any rom developer, or even tester on this site. I sincerely apologize and i will begin to consider the wording in these "reviews". Because i in no way mean to offend, or be harsh, or state anything negative about your rom other than what the majority of people looking will want to see quickly. I view this as supporting your roms, as when a person who knows nothing about rom development, and has no appreciation for the rom developer (which i must sadly say is the majority of people seeking a rom) sees that your rom has ANYTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH IT (by their standards) that was not clearly stated to them, and they aren't willing to accept it, it will be much more difficult to get them to return to the rom, or their friends, or anyone they tell, or anyone who watched the youtube video they make, or anyone who reads their blog. Saddly this is how i must view the majority, and how i must explain to them what is wrong, in order to keep such a thing from happening to any of your wonderful roms that i have tried. I wish to see all of your roms become popular, be boasted about to people on the street by the majority, and see you flourish in the results of the incredible work you are doing to bring these roms to our phone, and this is a way i see to do it. I see one day walking past another on the street and hearing the name of the rom that i watched be developed on this site, And i wish to add my 2 cents in with these threads or this thread (which it is going to become)
Thank you all for viewing, and replying to my post, and i hope you all have a wonderful day.....

Dont be so judgemental people. This guy tried to bring some Nougat love to us and instead got all the hate. I dont think asking what is the differences between this ROM and Seraph08's ROM is appropriate. But I do agree when posting ROM it is nice to have some info ahead of time
I can't believe fingerprint drama is still exist but hey! God gave us 10 fingers on the hands and not just 1
I always wonder what people hide in their phones that make them add more then 1 finger print It better be some hot girls nude photos
But I am not here to judge. Just being silly flashaholic :highfive: :silly: :victory:
Thanks for the ROM @sycolon
To register multiple fingerprints on any CM14 builds (I am using Grarak's build & have tried it on my own build):
1. Setup phone with 1 finger print
2. Go to Settings->Security to add additional fingerprints
3. When prompted to scan your finger, DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE SENSOR - LONG PRESS THE FINGER PRINT ON THE SCREEN
4. It will prompt you to asking you to scan the finger print
5. Now place the finger on the scanner and it works!
Noticed battery/notification lights can't be changed to anything other than stock colors.. No errors, just doesn't change. Used multiple builds.. Likely known, just throwing it out there.

I totally agree with you that all developers should get love and not hate since their efforts make our lives better, but please excuse me, how on Earth is asking for information inappropriate? Asking someone for information is what differentiates us from the apes.
I know XDA have rules prohibiting "Is A or B better?" questions, but it's perfectly normal to ask what the objective differences between the ROMs are, especially since many devs don't provide this info in the OP. For example, if one ROM has working GPS and the other ROM doesn't, that is perfectly neutral and objective information.
With all my humble respect to all developers, I think it's much more inappropriate to publish ROMs on XDA (=public domain) without listing the known bugs in the OP, and taking the "flash-and-see-for-yourself"-approach.
If you, as a developer, choose to use a public domain like XDA to publish your work, please be transparent and take 5 minutes of your time to honestly list all your achievements and failures.
If you choose not to, you have no right to be mad at people asking those questions over and over and over again.
And imho this applies to all devs, including the current one as well as @Seraph08 as well as any other %username%. All I'm asking for is honesty and transparency, and I truly believe with all my heart that's not asking for too much.
I remember back in the days of Android 2 this was an unwritten code all devs on XDA went by.
But then competition got high and someone discovered he'd get more community creds if he kept quiet about his failures...

I think you misunderstood the concept of adding additional fingerprints The more FPs you add, the more fingers you can use to unlock the phone, which makes phone easier to unlock. If you have 10 FPs added, you can unlock your phone with any of them, not by using them all xD

if you repo sync right now and build with grarak sources (it's clear you are using graraks sources..) you'll get broken ril and wifi.. dunno why

Hi, it seems search bar is locked in place on this device (Android 9 Pie). There is no obvious option to disable it.
It is the issue for a while already http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?t=1160
Did anyone find a solution how to remove it from the Home screen?
Thanks

I recommend just installing a third party launcher instead. I too found no easy way to remove it.
it's a fixed position widget starting from Android 8
sadly the only way to remove it is third party launcher ...
I had this problem too. Like said above, the problem is solved immediatly with a third launcher. I've taken Nova Launcher and it works perfectly.
Otherwise, if you don't want to install another launcher, you can try this method : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
For a complete lists of your package, you can use the app : "App Inspector" on the playstore.
I did this for all google app. For the search bar, it didn't work fully but it was better than without this tip. I read that, for some people, it worked fully.
Hope you will succeed to remove it!

Thank you, using Nova Launcher was the best choice in the end.

Happy that it worked for you too!
There is no special topic about this phone, does it work well for you?
I have it since last october ,it works pretty good! I would like to root it but I don't find a safe way to do it. I found some tip on german or russian forum but I don't speak those langages and the google trad is very approximative...
Do you find something to root it safely? ANd does this phone great for you?

I saw some guides but I didnt try to root this phone because I dont have a need for it, especially since the phone is already stock Android 9 where you can simply use adblocking DNS from within the Network settings.
Im generally satisfied with it, but proximity and finger sensors tend to misbehave sometimes, maybe its too sensitive to dust or dirt, I dont know.
My phone has V11 firmware, no updates available through the update manager, but there should be V13 available.

yeah it's true that you can replace a lot of root's features with third app's with this phone but it will be cool for me to have full access for more fun! Like totaly uninstall some apps useless for me, more customisation etc etc...
But it's really cool like it is now!
With mine : I don't have trouble witj proximity sensors but fingers sensors react weirdly, indeed. I think your hypothesis is the answer : it's too sensitive to dust and dirt.
The light sensor is a little bit weird too, but I think it's due to an android feature : user'shabits learning. Weird at the beginning, but works good after.
In my case, I have the V13 firmware (install directly via Cubot's website). I don't think it will be more update later...
One question : Do you know if this phone works well in USA? I see that it has some US's band so I think so , but I would like a confirmation
I received message from Cubot support that there are no significant or important changes in V13, so I'll leave it at that.
I also noticed phones behavior and sensitivity of sensors has changed over time, maybe it's that habit learning you mentioned..
I'm in Europe, so I can't say if it works in US. Shouldn't be too hard to find out.
I'm generally satisfied with this phone, as I tend to drop it a lot (relatively speaking) and it holds together well, and the software support+performance is satisfactory as well.
@urpi_ > Thanks for the feedback Happy to share with a Quest's owner, there aren't many
Like you, I've dropped it sometimes and the shakeproof it's real! I haven't test yet the waterproof. I will do it this summer
In very good points, I found GPS, Wifi and bluetooth respond very quick and well!
For the GPS, even in a remote location, the Quest fixes very quick
And the blutooth works very well with my earplug, even in running.
For the price, it's a very good smartphone, I'm happy with it too
Since when do you have this phone? I have it for 5 months nearly.

That's one of the reasons I would like to root it. Like you, this functionnality annoys me, although this button is very usefull . It's too bad that we can't configure it like we want and with a root, it would be possible.
For now on, I don't find a tip for changing this long press function. Maybe someone will read this thread and will have an solution
If I found something , I will share it here

Yeah, I have used Key Mapper ( https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper ) to change normal press (no root required) but I haven't found a way how change long-press behavior. Perhaps it's possible with Key Mapper too, and I just didnt find it?? Maybe.
@urpi_ > Thank you for the share, I will try it and search too if we can do something for long press configuration!
But for the normal press, you can already choose any application in settings. So, what does keymapper moreover?
Otherwise, about the fingerprint sensor:
I re-saved my fingerprints but differently :
Without perfectly clean up the sensor, like "out in the pocket" 's mode ( ) and with the "soft" part of the finger.
Before I saved it with the very extremity of the finger. This time, I used this "soft" part (a little bit under the top extremity of the finger) and with the finger kept flat.
It works pretty better now! Maybe it could make it work better for you too
Im pretty satisfied with the fingerprint sensor now, but yeah it can be probably fine-tuned to work better with this phone, like you said.
You can choose any application for normal (side-key) press, but I wanted to map it to something other than applications.
I used KeyMapper to make it a Pause/Play key for media.

So I tried this app and I think I found for the long press mode.
When you are on the window for creating a new macro, clik on "more" and then choose "long press"
After,you click on "record trigger" and push the button you want to configure, then choose the action you want.
I tried for launching an app, it worked well
But I tried for togglethe torch and it crashed the app. ANd then, the app didn't work at all, I had to reinstalled it
Hope it will help you
By the way, can you tell me what does "Data protection" setting do exactly? I see it under Security & location - Advanced menu.
I know it asks for a security entry pattern, but what for? Phone is supposed to be encrypted by default.
Yeah good question! I wonder too and I never enter a pattern for this. I think it is an android protection by default, but there are another protection too. By the way, I think there is too much protection
Other subject : I had a security upate nearly by september, I found the fingerprint and thbe camera respond much better. DO you feel that way too?

No update available for my phone. Still at February security update from 2019.
Strange, maybe you should visit the official website? If you do this, be careful : I've done the update via this way because the direct OTA way didn"t work. If the OTA's way is just an update; via the official website, it's a total reset, so, backup before doing this way
Hello.
I am not satisfied how notifications on my RN 9 Pro are (not) working.
I am often forced to mute phone, and I am not able to look constantly on my phone screen.
On other devices I used nice app called NoLED. I am attaching screenshot from my other device, so you can get the idea why.
Sadly, it is not working with Android 10. Developement is abandoned long time ago.
Is there any app with such functionality which works with Android 10?
[edit]
Partially solved. Call and messages are working. Added apps (messenger, viber, whatsapp) are not working.

Yeah, sorry... but the same Q has appeared in about half a dozen separate threads without solution...which means ppl aren't searching for answers...so I had to answer individually.
