Does smart FlipCase cover works on CustomRom? - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently bought Chinese version of MediaPad M5 8.4
And decided to buy Huawei-MediaPad-M5-8-4-inch-Tablet-Case-Auto-Sleep-Wake-Folio-Stand-Cover-Case smart flipcase for it on ebay (Sorry, can't post direct link)
While closing flip cover tablet supposed to immediately turn off. And turn on after opening the case.
I installed CarbonRom from openkirin.net and found this feature does not work at all.
I'm curious if automatic TurnOff/TurnOn feature works with smart cases and any custom ROM at all?
If it is could you please mention your ROM and case? I would be happy to change mine to it!
Thanks a lot!

I just stumbled across this because my M5 does not seem to recognise the "smart / flip cover" either, so i guess at least on RR where i am its not working.
I dont quite get why because in Linage OS its supposed to work, the RR Rom is missing the "FlipFlap" apk thats responsible for it i guess.

[Q] G Tablet Dock Help Help

Hi guys, wonder can anyone help me. I purchased a dock for the G Tablet from a company in Chine a few months ago. I only got round to trying it out recently and the results where not good.
The dock charges the G Tablet when the PSU is connected to it, but that is all that it does. The USB port does not work, the pens light up but the G Tab does not see them.
The network port does not do any thing when a cable is plugged in.
The HDMI also does not do anything.
I have tried it with several different versions of Android including the T&T that was on the G Tab originally.
Am I missing something ? Do I need to install certain software of certain Abroid version ?.
It wouldn't usually bother me but the dock cost me over £35 and I do not want to purchase another until I am sure this one does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Keep up the great work, I love this site and have tried almost every new OS that has been put on it
No specific software should have to be installed. It's supposed to just work, so I'm thinking that it's bad hardware.

Star N800 - Any Chance of Installing Jelly Bean?

Hi, I bought this super cheap Android phone for my daughter, for Christmas:
Star N800 Mini
I don't know if the specs have any relevance to my following question but you can find it on Amazon, I'd link it but I haven't made ten posts yet. :silly:
I was wondering if there's any chance of finding a Jelly Bean ROM that might work on it? As far as I'm aware, the ROM probably has to be specific to this device, right? In which case, I can't even find a website for the company who makes it, "Star"
If it is possible, I used to have a ZTE Blade so I have a slightly dated idea of how to go about flashing the ROM and will probably be able to get by, but obviously, I have no idea if it's even an option at the moment.
Thanks a lot,
Mark.

[Q] inverted colours 4.1.2 and no switch back to normal

Guys, first of all great forum, excellect tools (like entons rootkit for A71 acer tablet) and splendid advices on many problems. I´m confident to find one for my current problem. If this is the wrong thread, please excuse but I haven´t found one for the Acer A71, so I went to the Android-Thread.
Okay, here´s what happened: I have a rooted (Entons rootkit) A71. Worked perfect for month now. Yesterday I unplugges it after charging. When I switched it on, the screen showed inverted colours. When I try to look at a picture or to watch a video, everything is inerted, too. . I allready unrooted it, made a factory reset, wiped the cache. I have digged into tons of threads in different forums. All that I have found was, that there is a switch you can find in accessability for changing from inverted to normal and back. But this one I do not find on my tablet. I ´m desperate now since I use my tablet for reading (which is still possible), for typing (which is no longer possible) and for videos (which is not longer possible). What to do now?
Datas: Acer iconia B1-A71, Android 4.1.2, Build Acer_AV051_B1-A71_1.25800_WW_GEN1, Image:Acer_AV051_B1-A71_RV05RC05_WW_GEN1, Image-P/N: FM.NLCAO.01Y, Kernel 3.4.0
Would be greatful for any answer.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I have just received this same tablet to repair with the same problem.
Mine would seem to have a damaged screen as its even inverted when in Recovery mode.
Maybe this is the same with you?
A quick google shows a handful of people with the same problem.
The device has some really poor design with the ribbon that connects the screen as some components rest against the quite flexible back cover.
So either one of these tiny components has been damaged or the device dropped and the screen has actually cracked along one of the edges.
What a pity the "invert colors" option is not enabled in the settings app as manually inverted images display fine.
If this was a high end device i'd unlock it and install a custom ROM and have a look into enabling colour inversion somehow but alas i'm not sure this little sucker is worth my time especially as the battery is on its way out now too.
Good Luck.
[EDIT] SOLUTION; it would seem my hunch regarding the crap placement of components on the screens ribbon cable was accurate.
Just found this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56422766&postcount=220
tried the soldering solution:

Normskilight thank you very much. It works perfectly!!. I could fix my tablet. For my it was a kind of miracle, jaja.
Thank you again!

Pair android keyboard without code?

Hello everyone,
Im a newbie , so forget my ignorance if i post on the wrong place.
If have an android extrenal keyboard.
Is an Aliexpress cheap keyboard. Very similar with the Anker Ultra Slim
Well, it works perfectly. The point is that everytime i turn it off and want to connect it again to my minix device i need to indroduce a random pairing code. This is very annoying.
My question: Is there any way to automatically connect the keyboard to the device without indroducing a new code everytime.
Thanks for your attention,

Mirror desktop - Which device can do that?

Hello, first of all: Unfortunately I have to work with the Google Translator. Therefore, the translation may not be entirely clean.
I am looking for a smartphone that can be rooted. It must definitely allow the screen to be mirrored, as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlOzI7eAfvE
Unfortunately, it seems that very few devices can do this, and connected hardware such as a remote control or the touch screen should work at the same time.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro, for example, can do it all. The Huawei P20 Pro can only mirror the display, but the touch screen and remote control do not work.
I connected a USB-C docking station which also charges the phone.
Now the Huawei devices can no longer be rooted. But I need root to automate various settings via Tasker & Co. Also some settings have to be made that are not possible without root.
Question: Which phones are still able to mirror the screen and can use the touch functionality and a remote control?
Thanks and greetings from Hamburg

That's a really interesting concept you have here, I want to try!
But I need more info about what he's doing and how he's doing. First of all what he said in the vid, I'm French and chose to learn spanish instead of German (sorry fella), so I didn't quite understand what he said. I think the video isn't a tutorial but just a demo of how it works. I'd like to know also what kind of cable he used in the video and where he plugged it in? (USB port, HDMI, ...?).
If you have any extra info it'd be great.
(For your question, idk which phone can do that but I'm quite sure that it's an app allows the guy in the vid to do what he does)
I'll come back with more info about that soon
Have a good day

A Huawei Mate 10Pro ( kept in a docking station ) gets connected via HDMI with Rasperri PI 7'' - touchscreen device.

Sorry for the late reply. I've actually finished everything so far. I took a Samsung Galaxy S9 for the project. I installed the crDroidAndroid Rom in version 6.7. Unfortunately, the only thing that doesn't seem to work with this ROM is the automatic boot process when the device is loaded. The developers of this ROM obviously cannot help here either. I've been in contact here for a week, but there is no solution to the problem in sight, so I have to start all over again. With other ROMs I can edit the /system/bin/lpm file so that the device starts automatically when it is supplied with power. this crDroidAdndorid ROM has obviously integrated the Charger from the Pixel 4. There doesn't seem to be a solution to this.
