I'm so sorry. I don't want to harm you and I regret my offending wording "wrong app". May I say "not the right app" or "under-featured app"? But fact is that the phone app and the settings of phone configuration doesn't fit a hundred per cent, because of (at least) missing application activity...

The EU Rom contains wrong phone app version ("com.android.phone") that isn't capable of VoWIFI. EU Rom version crashes when trying to configure VoWIFI because of missing code. See screenshot.

Yes. I can confirm that Redmi 5 Plus "OEGCNXM" has the camera bug, to not write time stamp to pictures. I own same smartphone model and use "OpenCamara" instead because it's much better, free and supports Camera API 2.0. https://opencamera.sourceforge.io/help.html You can download it for free...

Hey guy, what are you doing? That's totally crazy. Please never try to remount /system or you will loose Google license (SafetyNet and others) and you never can use a banking app, watch Netflix, playing lots of games or paying via Smartphone/NFS . Remounting /system is a really stupid idea...

Sure that you are downloading via WiFi and not via slow mobile GSM network like EDGE or GPRS? To test switch off mobile connection (Airplane mode) and enable WiFi only. Then check your network speed: https://www.speedcheck.org/

That's OK. My Phone is also recognized as "Polaris" aka MiMix 2s. Don't try to change it or you will loose your SafetyNet / Google certification. This signature aka fingerprint is defined in build.prop: ro.build.fingerprint=<.....> Example...

Really strange. I suppose it's because you are on Android 9 that is even more degenerated than my Android 8.1...

So weit, so gut... ;) In 2nd image click on on "Benachrichtigungen" and compare your settings with my screenshot. "Wichtigkeit" should be at least "Hoch". With "Dringend" you'll get additionally popups. ("IncomingMessage.ogg" is the sound file for "Ankommende Nachricht" in your sound menu.)

Drivedroid works out of the box with my Xiaomi phone and Linux notebook (screenshot). Nice app. Did you try to boot an UEFI BIOS? That's not easy. UEFI is very picky. The boot image must contain signed bootloader and your BIOS settings must allow booting your image. Read the docs first - at...

From Drivedroid description: Check your kernel for required features. If missing you can try a custom kernel but you are on your own.

Notifications are broken since Android 8 (Oreo), because Google has introduced an additional "notification layer" on top of all apps. It's no longer possible to use different "per account" notifications with recent version of K-9 mail. But you can enable global notification. Go to Settings->All...

Yes, older Androids have on option to move apps to external scdard thus freeing some internal space. But that doesn't increase internal memory. There is no way to add 64 GB sdcard space to eg. 64 GB internal space to get 128 GB internal memory. BTW. The Link2SD app can move any app to sdcard...

I think that's impossible. Internal memory is part of the hardware and it's not possible to extend or append more memory from outside. And it's also not possible to use a kind of RAID driver to bind different memory drives to a single memory partition. No matter what you've formatted external...

Android has to rebuild system databases after installing new ROM or a factory reset. This process consumes very much energy. If there are lots of data, media files or images rebuilding takes many hours. Therefore wait at least one or two days before you compare battery consumption.

Simple answer. You get SMS spam because you have an active GMS card. Spammers can check via WhatsApp, Telegram etc. for active mobile numbers. Or spammers get huge blocks of numbers directly from regulatory authorities e.g. the German Bundesnetzagentur...
