[Q] Going back to the Original Acer rom ?? is it possible ???

Hey guys ... just bought used Acer iconia A500 with rooted 3.1 honeycomb , and it's not getting any official update 3.2 ,,,, is it possible to go back to it's original (official 3.0) ... idon't want any rooting on my tab and i don't know alot about these things .... so can someone please tell me the steps what to do ????
my kernel 2.6.36.3-00005-g5dff38c
build # Acer_A500_3.019.04_com_EGN1
basedband version unknown
i really appreciate your help guys .

You really should have searched the forum... Yes, it is possible, of course (though it might be tricky to undo due to changes in Acer's bootloader). Better still: install an up-to-date rooted stock ROM and save yourself the hassle, as surprisingly many apps need root to work anyway (like Juniper VPN, which is used in a lot of corporate and university networks & Titanium Backup, which might just save your bacon if you screw up)...
You'll figure out the rest if you do due diligence searching this forum & the web (and you'd probably have found the information above if you already had done so before).

[FIXED] [V4A] Samsung Galaxy J5 (SM-J500F)

Hello fellow J5 users
I have rooted my phone and I'm trying to get ViPER4Android mod working but I'm unable to do so. I tried searching forums here but our device doesn't have an forum page yet I hope the moderators/admins make one soon :angel: .
So far I've installed as instructed and tried troubleshooting as instructed too but nothing seems to work, the installation is breeze but the drivers for V4A don't install. The status is abnormal. Driver version is 2.3.4.0
I followed every instruction on ViPER4Android page for installation on Galaxy devices, they don't seem to solve my problem. I also tried other method i.e replacing audio_effects.config with a another config which worked on S6 Edge but that doesn't to seem work as well. So I've restored the original config. No worries here! :laugh:. I read somewhere this has something to do with kernel and SELinux status which is 'Enforcing' . There's no custom kernel available which has SELinux set to permissive. If anyone has got the V4A working on our device please help me out
Edit : I searched around forums and found a way get the V4A working on Stock kernel of Samsung J5 even if the SELinux Status is set to Enforcing. You will just have to flash a zip with a custom recovery (I used TWRP made by @CTXz) and Voila! This flashable will work on any device too (not fully sure though).
Page for the zip : Click here [Navigate to post #18854]
The zip was provided by maximumentropy

Thanks.

I just noticed that the link from "Page for the zip" had an extra "http//", that's why it didn't work

Lenovo A3500-F questions for ROMs, safe mode, multiuser etc.

Hi everybody,
for this one I am still looking for some solution to either switch off save mode or setup multiple users / profiles.
As posted here I could not get multiple users/profiles to work.
Also switching off safe mode is not possible with installed ROM.
So can please someone tell me whether I can update the ROM (e.g. using a custom firmware or so) or how to be able to setup multiple profiles / users which are working?
Thanx in advance!
Bye

[Q] Stock Cam on LineageOS 16

Hi,
I try to find a way, where I could install the Stock Cam from OnePlus5 to my LineageOS. I 'm not sure, but I think this must include also some Libs?
For the moment I only find articles for GCam or others, but the Stock Cam was not findable for me. So I would like to ask, if someone has experiances with that, or maybe put me to the link where it is explained (as I was maybe to tumb to find it )
Thanks in Advance!

As no Answers, I research further, and give here some infos, if others search for that also:
- It is possible to install the stock cam without additional things (like root or whatever) by downloading it from apkmirror
- link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera
- take care, it seems on OnePlus 5 not all versions running properly. The last real working version under Lineage OS 16 for me was 3.4.25
- I tested several versions of 3.8, where are on each app other problems (app crash, not choosable options, and so on)
- The link to standart Gallery is not working (I expect that the cam app assumes to open the oneplus galery, but I have others)
- you can test Versions by starting in a low version, then you can update to newer versions. The other direction (starting with high version, and downgrade is only possible by deinstalling the newer version).
- If I foud a stable 3.8-Version I will notice it here (3.5, 3.6, 3.7 are not on apkmirror, I assume that the big version-change is related to also other hardware needs for the cam, so this will cause maybe the problems...)

similar story and solution here:
OP Camera version 3.0.43 (I may try the suggested v 3.4.25, if I find time)
OP Gallery version 3.8.21
Do you have any gapps installed?

Yes, I'm bad and use the most of Gapps
Anyway, maybe the point that 3.8 does not work could be related to Cam Framework which maybe must also updated... but on apk mirror only V1 is avalible... But I'm afraid to change something there on the Rom included stuff, as I need my phone running...
