Question regarding Newer Android OS and older phones - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellow developers! I just got my rooted Hauwii ascend xt updated to b180 and realized for the longest time im tired of the look and feel of android 6.0.1..
When I think of android, I think of any operating system.. windows, linux, ect and wonder if it is possible to put android 7.x.x on my phone...
However, my limited knowledge tells me that the issue is that these OS are specifically targeted for each phone so it would not be as simple as installing a new OS....
My thoughts are that it would probably be possible to get it installed but that the hardware (mic, camera, ect) would most likely not function due to different hardware address(s).
Is this correct and If so, is anyone aware of being able to make these modifications.. (Hex edit???)
Forgive my ignorance, my knowledge surrounding the implementations is limited and based solely on theory.
Thank you for your time.

Developer options very limited

Hello,
I have a crazy idiot version of Android 4.4.2 on an Allview Viva i10g tablet (x86). I'm unable to root it, nor to updrade, change OS, anything. A lot of apps not working. I wanted to change, since some of the last updates of GAPPS store is blocking, Google and Maps block my tablet. But I was unable with the tools and procedures I've found for x86.
The craziest thing is that IO have only USB debug option in Developer options. All others are hidden.
I want to stream with Miracast to my MiniX neo tv box, and I get black screen. I understood that I have to activate some options in Dev options, but I don't have them!!!
Is there a way I can unlock all the Dev options of Android? With this crazy tablet I'm ready on everything to fix this crazy issue...
Thanks?!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM T113)

Hello, I have a Galaxy Tab 3 (SM T113) and the current operating system is Android 4.4.4. I want to install Android 7.x. On my S2 I was able to install Lineage Android 7.1.2. Could someone here give me a hint how and where to get a newer Android for this tablet. I also hope that I am correct in this area of the forum and not "off topic". About support I would be very grateful. Greetings from Hamburg.Andreas

This isn't off topic since it's located on the Q&A area of the forum.
I'm just helping you out so you will know where to go for some support/guidance. Just keep in mind that this device model does have a dedicated area of the forum and, probably, the best way to obtain member guidance from those who already has this device.
I'm just happy to help you out! :thumbup:

Hello Andreas , there is no higher build then 7.12 for now .

QEMU question

Hello everyone
I wanted to test another solution for having Linux on Android, which is Virtual Machine. I found this Limbo thing but I have doubts. Can someone tell me which QEMU adaptation for android (Limbo) is real and which one is either outdated or plain fake/malware?
One is on Android Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...be.android.app.com.limbo.emu.main.armv7&hl=pl
...and seems kinda fake'y because of the terrible "english" description and dead website link.
The other is from this site:
https://limboemulator.weebly.com/
...which also links to GitHub but it doesn't appear on Play Store so it's not "approved".
Versions of those two don't add up, that's why I don't think they are one and the same. Thanks in advance.

Sadly one topic is about rooting Kindle (using some edited QEMU exploit) and the other offers old QEMU from mediafire links without linking directly to any official QEMU for Android project.
What I need to know is which source of Android QEMU is the legit one as both that I found seem fishy in some aspect and I'd prefer not to install some malware. I just need the most recent version possible of legit QEMU project for Android. Which and who's project it is doesn't matter as long as it works and it's actively maintained.

Doubts regarding rooting my out-of-warranty Samsung Galaxy phone

Hi. I own a Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) (SM-A910F/DS) with Android 8.0 (August security patch). It is now out of warranty. I want to root it. I do have prior experience in rooting my secondary Android phone but this phone is my daily driver and hence want some doubts cleared before attempting to root it using Odin. Following are the questions I need answers for:-
I am just going to root my phone to do some small scale customisation. I don't want to flash a custom or stock ROM. Some sources on the internet say that simply rooting the phone won't trip its KNOX flag while others say it will. What is the truth?
If indeed the KNOX flag gets tripped, will I ever be able to use Samsung Pay on my phone again?
If the KNOX flag doesn't trip, will Samsung Pay work on a rooted phone?
The firmware.mobi site hasn't yet updated the SM-A910F's firmware version to that of Android 8.0. My phone had received the Oreo update on 18th October, 2018. Can I still root my phone using whatever latest CF-Auto-Root package I get from there?
How to know if my phone is encrypted? I am confused about this because I haven't manually enabled any kind of encryption on my phone but since there is so much caution regarding rooting an encrypted phone, I don't want to take any chance.
So, these are the 5 questions which I want satisfactory answers for before I root my phone. A good explanation which will ward off my anxiety will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have now posted this thread there as well. The lack of A9 in the list of devices had discouraged me from posting there.

I understand your frustration but, please remember that developments for devices sometimes take a while before any developments begin to emerge. This is especially true for many Samsung devices too.
Also, the more members who request for a device the better. I can only encourage you to also request for the A9 Series device within the thread from the link that I had provided you with (the last one on my previous post).
Good Luck!

Yes, rooting your phone with CF / TWRP will trip Knox and disable Samsung Pay. Google Pay however will work on a device that has been returned to stock, but not one that has active root. Since it's looking for root as opposed to a Knox bit, this can probably be masked pretty easily if you wanted to use it on a rooted device.
Looking on firmware.mobi, I see 3 releases already for CF on Android 8.0 for your phone.
And your phone most definitely is encrypted. Any Samsung with Android 7.0 from the factory is encrypted. The exception is devices that were running Android 6 or lower that have been upgraded to 7+ and weren't encrypted by the user beforehand.

S918N is possible rooting with out know security issues

Hello, I am a person who lives in South Korea and wants to root. Perhaps because of s918n's n, all community methods fail frequently. Even the installation of twrp has not been successful yet, but the note 9 that is playing at home succeeds in less than an hour after starting work..
I'm too beginner, so the current factor I figured out is that each region in the world has a different model, and as an identifier, n means South Korea, that is, it's impossible until twrp and rom suitable fo
r phones with n come out..
I am wondering if my analysis is correct. Oh, and currently, as far as I know, my model does not have a rooting method.. Is this correct?

Are you trying to root your phone or install a custom ROM?
I have failed all the methods on the s23ultra bulletin board. Please give me the address where I can download the twrp and rom files that have been verified to work on the current s918n..

I don't quite understand what you want (Sorry, language barrier), but to root your device follow Magisk's official Installation Instructions. I beleive there are currently no custom ROMs for your device because your device is so new. Let me know if you have any questions!

AnswerThank you so much, I finally succeeded. I'm still not sure what exactly happened, so I don't even know why it happened, but...
First of all, I succeeded in obtaining superuser privileges, and I am enjoying all the privileges after rooting, such as installing the Majisk module. First of all, I was determined, but in the end, the point that the banking app and the Korean multifinancial integration app called TOS are not open after rooting is more difficult and nerve-wracking than I thought... First of all, since I have entered the world of rooting, I will enjoy a little and identify the cause later...
Thank you so much for your interest and help
