HI, I have the t-mobile version, and the call log is crazy laggy, I sometimes need to wait 30 seconds for it to load. Is this issue also with the custom roms?

Hey, so I've been trying for hours to get the phone rooted with neutronscotts method (since I don't want kosher) and I'm running into tons of problems with the tutorials you've both provided. First issue, I can't find a stock rooted rom, only the kosher roms you've provided. Second, when I install magisk, it doesn't appear, not matter how many times I restart the phone. There is also no information on how to flash the APKs once you completed all of this.

(Once I solve everything, I will be making a video tutorial and a clear written tutorial with all information and files.)

Please help!

      flip4ourlives Magisk installed correctly and its not appearing in the list when you dial *#*#217703#*#*?

        flip4ourlives you need service or Wi-Fi connection in order for magisk to download fully

          This question has been asked many times but I didn't find a clear answer.

          How can I install apps while staying on the stock rom.

          I tried with adb but it didn't work. Running the APK on the device gives me a message APK installation not supported.

            gilyin install with adb. It might not show up right away, but it should install

                whynot I did, it dosnt give me any confirmation on ADB, but I dont find it on the device.

                    gilyin did you root the phone?

                        gilyin flip4ourlives thunderlordcid Here’s a quick guide;
                        A) download (and extract) [Login to see the link] if you don’t have it

                        B) download and install [Login to see the link] on your computer and restart it

                        C) download and run [Login to see the link] and plug in your turned off phone. Your phone should now say fastboot mode.

                        D) open adb and put in the command fastboot flashing unlock and on your phone press volume up to allow flashing unlock.

                        E) download [Login to see the link] and put it in the adb folder (the folder named platform-tools with all the random files)

                        F) next run adb command fastboot flash boot neutron.img

                        G) turn your phone on and type *#*#217703#*#* , magisk should be in the list of apps, select it and download the full version and restart your phone. (if it doesn’t show up, reboot the phone and check again)

                        H) to install apps, enable adb by typing *#*#33284#*#* and install with adb

                        I) to edit the system, run adb command adb shell su and allow shell in magisk. Then in the su shell run /vendor/bin/write_protect 0
                        NOTE: you’ll need to delete system files in order to have space for new ones and the browser is the largest file. Make sure you don’t delete a system file that you aren’t sure isn’t needed, you can ruin or brick your phone.

                                whynot thank you for these instructions - I was able to flash the phone, however after installing the apps4flip mouse on the apps page I am unable to select anything with the mouse. Triple tapping the * key allows me to turn the mouse on and off as expected though. Any suggestions for a possible fix? Thanks

                                    featured2023 that app won’t work on this phone. you need to use the method on the kosher rom thread

                                      Ah, good to know - I found a link to neutronscott's vmouse v2 github page ([Login to see the link]) and am not sure how to install it. Do I need to unzip the vmouse2.zip and run something? I'm only familiar with installing apks but none of the zip file contents appear to be apks. TIA

                                          featured2023 Its a Magisk module. You need to install the magisk app and then install the module via adb.

                                              darth I have magisk installed from flashing the neutron.img file to my device. When I transferred the mouse .zip file to the device and tried to install using the magisk app on my phone, I got an unzip error.

                                                  Biden2020prez Thank you so much for responding. When attempting this command, I got a "permission denied" returned from adb/cmd. Is there something I need to have open on the phone when attempting this?
