Xiaomi Pocophone F1, Xiaomi Poco F1

Recently, Xiaomi has been improving its record when it comes to releasing kernel sources for its phones. Earlier this year, the company committed to releasing kernel sources within three months of a device launch . Although it wasn’t ideal, it was indeed a welcome improvement. It took Xiaomi a long time to release kernel source code for phones such as the Xiaomi Mi A1, but for newer device releases, the company has been posting the sources mostly on time.

Xiaomi posted the kernel source code for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE shortly after launch. A week ago, the company’s new Poco brand launched the Xiaomi Poco F1 in India and publicly committed to releasing the kernel source code for the device on the day of release. Poco also stated that unlocking the bootloader will not void the warranty on the Poco F1 , as the phone is meant to be developer friendly.

A few days before, Xiaomi released the kernel source code for the Xiaomi Mi A2 (jasmine-sprout) and the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (daisy-sprout), which was itself a marked improvement over the Mi A1’s kernel source code release in terms of timing. Now, the company has followed up on its promise by releasing kernel sources for the Poco F1. The kernel source code branch is the same for three devices: Xiaomi Mi 8 (device code-name: dipper), Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition (device code-name: ursa), and the Poco F1 (device code-name: beryllium).

The release of kernel source code for the three devices means that the development community can now get started in developing TWRP , custom ROMs and kernels, etc. The Poco F1’s especially affordable starting price is sure to make it a highly popular device when it comes to development on XDA, and the timely release of its kernel source code is icing on the cake for what was already a great deal for enthusiast users.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

For years, the highest-end Android flagship used to be defined by Samsung’s Galaxy Note series as the “best-of-the-best” Android phones.

It’s positioned as a higher-end variant of the standard Huawei Mate 20. It should be noted that Huawei didn’t launch the s...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves. Specifically, we want to know what the best IPTV apps on Android are. 1. Lazy IPTV Our first pick is Lazy IPTV. It supports M3U playlists in open-view, ZIP, and GZ formats. The app can also read pl...
