Hi guys

I'm a bit advanced user regarding embedded devices and OSes.

I have several questions :

A/ I have a P8 Lite, running now Lineage 14/andro7.

on the stock rom, I had buttons to launch app without unlocking the screen : calculator, torch, timer, camera recorder ... but on lineage, none of these apps are accessible without pin code. is it possible to change that?

B/ I also saw that there is an option to protect apps : with a scheme, I can lock.. their appearance, means they looks disappeared from the menu and home screen. Is it possible to have a feature whom asks for a passcode for each app, but when launching them, not to hide them?

other question :

C/ I have dual sim, with stock rom I was able to put one on airplane mode, individually ; I don't find back this feature, without getting out the sim card from the phone.. is there another way?

D/ Im also wondering about ultra power saver mode I had : it was blocking everything running from the background except phone call and texts. I have a power saver mode on lineage, but just for the visual effects of graphical interface. Is there a way to block some apps from running in the background when battery is running low, means under 15%?

E/ In addition, I have the cell provider animation from top left to right, because the dual sim makes phone showing two operators, one with long name, so it's taking place and android shows it progressively from right to left. Any way to stop this sort of animation? (it's the providers names)

F/then, on this lineage OS, I added an encryption pin code.

Until two days ago, it was working, code was asked every day at powerup. Since today, I restarted twice my phone, it didnt asked for the crypted pin. is it normal, is it regarding a delay?

Also, is it possible to change the encryption code?

Others questions (sorry... )

G/for porting lineage to a new device, how does it works? what parts needs to be identified?

does it looks like add new code in C to the project ? How could we have an overview of required work and skills for porting lineage to a new device?

H/also, I do have a g530fz, I was wondering about which twrp/lineage versions could match with it?

I/ and does postmarket os could be ported on another device, such as g386f?

I thank you vm for replies, sorry for long questionning =)

I'm having an issue with installing TWRP, and with my formatting my recovery partition. I can't find any helpful information (or really anything about this error message) online.

The device is an Nvidia Shield Portable.

I'm unable to install any TWRP version newer than 3.2.2. This is the error:

Sending 'recovery' (9154 KB) OKAY [ 0.686s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: '(InvalidSize)')

When I try formatting the recovery partition, I get this error:

fastboot: error: Formatting is not supported for file system with type 'basic'.

I am able to erase the recovery partition with the command "fastboot erase recovery", but that doesn't help with anything, other than erasing the recovery partition.

Hi there

for questions from A to F, I am assuming that Lineage doesn't have those features build in. Lineage is great, but the focus is on simplicity rather than on lots and lots of features. you might want to search for a odexed debloated version of your stock ROM or another ported stock ROM.

for question G, sorry, I have no idea.

for questions H and I, do search in their own forums on xda. might get better answers.

This is interesting to me I did synth work with Akai Force and Digitakt. If my phone has a mini-jack adapter from the usb-c does that mean I can use a mini-jack to midi cable to use my phone as a randomizer to gate or make Euclid notes for a synth? That is awesome keep me posted.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I do not know / use the specific products you are talking about. However, I use my PC for Music (as a DAW, ie Digital Audio Workstation), and have purchased a USB to Midi cable (very cheep), that I use on my old MIDI controller keyboard, that does not have USB (actually has USB, but the drivers do not support the latest Wndows).

This USB to MIDI cable IS recognized and used by my phone, so I can plug my MIDII keyboard into my phone (through the cable), and play it like a Synth (using a soft synth app running on my phone). I haven't explicitly tested the MIDI out, but I dont see why not.

HTH
[General Questions and Answers] Shakbazian:
Not bad, I have seen soft synth setups with pro-sumer performance based midi keyboards. It is quite awesome to have multiple synth apps and voicing options just from a phone. It is common to me coming from synth communities to be talking about generative sequencers. I will try this when I have the chance.

That qeustion was directed to regular roms not gsi for that i know uninstall magisk is best but dont know yes or no for regular custom rom?

I have no idea what all that entails but oke cool hahaha

hahaha i dont remember what i wanted ask sorry for the late reply.

maybe it was if u know possible to ask an open reqeust like forexample if anyone wants or has time maybe someone can do a rom for this and this phone. like is something like that possible or is that douchey thing to ask
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
For custom ROMs, if you are coming from a different ROM or an u[date of the existing ROM, then you would also update the boot.img. t will nomaloly also contain updates or changes specific to the rest of the ROM.

I know for me personally, I built ROMs because I had the device, and no one else was building the various ROM choices I did.

Generally speaking, developers will only build for phones they physically are in possession of, so they could test flash the result. In other words, your chances of getting a random developer to build for a random device blindly, is not good. What would be their driver/reason to do such? Its a time consuming process.

Search low and high, for if there is already a single custom ROM for your device, its a LOT easier for someone to build another / different ROM for the same device. Thats exactly what I did. Also check out github for your device definition.

Last night whatsapp backed-up data on Google drive which was just 400 MB out of my 4GB of data. I was not able to access any of my media. I tried to reinstall whatsapp so that I could get back my media data but only 400 MB was restored and now I can see only 400 MB as my Gdrive data. Please it's a request if someone knows someone from whatsapp who can help me it would be really very helpful. I lost 6000+ photos and memories from past 8 years. I can't express how I feel. Some photos were of the person who isn't here with us. I need some help. A request 🙏🏻

Hi, I'd like to be able to switch easily between 2g and 4g on my phone (Pixel 2, LOS 18.1, rooted). At home my cell network is terrible and works well only with 2g. No VoWiFi with my carrier unfortunately.

I've seen this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/app-5-0-roo...2g-3g-lte-xda-exclusive-free-version.2945406/ but the app there only lets me toggle between 2g, 3g, 2g/3g, but no 4g/LTE. Do you have a recommendation for an app that would let me toggle between 2g and 4g?

Also, it has to be possible to script this so that when I'm connected to a given WiFi network (my home network), it would automagically switch to 2g, then switch back to 4g when not connected to that WiFi network?

I'm fairly comfortable with standard Linux stuff but the Android world is mostly unknown to me.

Thank you.

edit:

settings put global preferred_network_mode1 1 <-- toggles to 2g

settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9 <-- toggles to 4g

next: find the WiFi status via shell: dumpsys wifi | grep mWifiInfo ? that seems to work but that also seems too hacky to be the proper way to get the info

next next: how to automate this :D

edit2: created https://xdaforums.com/t/rooted-los-...ased-on-wifi-network-im-connected-to.4316747/ instead to ask this :)

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I have a P8 ale L21, running lineage14. it happen after goint to airplane to save battery, when I want to use back wifi, if I enable it it's a mess :

wifi just dont get up, no wifi appears, and disable/enable does nothing.

plus this, it can crash the total interface.

question is, is there a way to restart the android/lineage user interface without restarting the phone?

thank you

ps: in addition, when I poweroff the phone, plug it in usb to charge it, few moments after the phone poweron. I have only one alarm but few hours after.. from where could it come?

Thanks for the reply, but it's of no help. I cant access anything on google drive and the recovery works for android 8 below. I'm on Android 11. Is there any other way, your help would be much appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
how come you cant access your Google drive? also, try running the program. doubt photo storage changed radically from android 8 to Android 11.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
in order to restart lineage os, check system app in settings. stop that and it should refresh the interface. regarding your alarm, did you factory reset your phone after flashing the lineage os? did you made a clean flash or dirty flash? it could be caused by some leftovers from the stock ROM.

I can access my google drive but I'm unable to see my whatsapp data there, I went through drive --> settings --> manage apps --> whatsapp Messenger. It only have an option to disconnect from drive. ( From what I understand my old data of 4 GB is override by just 400 MB data after nights scheduled backup)

About the app they have mentioned it on their site about the compatibility. Though I will give it a try. Still, do you know something else or someone from whatsapp who can help me?

Carrier switching and custom ROMs

My apologies in advance if this question has already been answered -- I wasn't able to find anything on the topic.

I have a Galaxy S3 that I bought on contract from AT&T, but have since unlocked and I'm now on T-Mobile. While I was still on AT&T, I flashed CM 10.1.

My questions are these: if/when I go to 10.2 or even a different ROM completely, should I download the file for AT&T or T-Mobile? My phone seems to be working fine with the d2att ROM file on the T-Mobile network now, would it be beneficial in any way to flash the T-Mobile version of CM 10.1?

Thanks very much in advance!

Google Apps Installer Nook Simple Touch

I've read through every FAQ / protocol about how to post a noob question, but I'm not the least bit sure this is the proper way to do so. My apologies in advance if I'm screwing this up.

There's an existing thread which is covering the very topic that I need help on:

NTGAppsAttack - Google Apps Installer Addon For NookManager

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086582

But I can't post a question over there . . . because I don't have 10 posts yet. Do I ask the question here? Again, please accept my apology if this isn't the way to do this.

The question:

After successfully rooting the device using Nook Manager, I attempted to install the NTGAppsAttack package for Google Market/Gmail/Calendar/etc. I've read through the entire topic (more than once). I must be doing something incredibly wrong as I never have the "custom" option appear. What have I screwed up? How do I fix this?

Thank you . . . and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, please excuse my noob posting protocol mistakes.

Dose Your version number of NTGappsAttack match the version of NookManager you are using?

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, the two program version numbers match.

I tried multiple extraction locations, too. In one part of the instructions it says to extract to the root directory. In others, it talks about extracting to the custom directory.

[General Questions and Answers] keifus.rahn:
are you using the nook for file transfer to the SD card from pc?
[General Questions and Answers] joekoday:
Not sure I understand your question.

Per the installation instructions I am not tying the nook directly to the PC. I pull the SD card (containing NookManager) from the nook, put IT in the PC, move files around, reinsert into the nook, remove the card from the PC, reinsert it into the nook, and reboot to NookManager.

Based on what I've read in the parent thread, I'm *assuming* the NTGAppsAttack files are simply in the wrong location. Similar to how the nook itself won't find "wallpaper" pictures if they're not in separate directories. Without anything being under "custom" where it *expects* it to be, the device can't find the files, thus I can't install anything.

I've copies of the extracted files in at *least* three locations on that SD card. No love at all.

Thank you for your reply.
[General Questions and Answers] keifus.rahn:
did you see if that is a known issue with the rom that you flashed?

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

try this place the NTGAppsAttack.zip on the root of your nook mngr SD Micro via PC then right click and hit exstract Dont change the path it gives you and Hit exstract when its done place the zip back on pc and try that.

Question no offence. do you know what the root of sd card is?
[General Questions and Answers] joekoday:
Nook Root

Yes, already tried that. All it does by default is create a directory called NTGAppsAttack at the root level (top level above all subdirectories).

No offense taken. :) Gotta explore *all* possibilities.

From the parent thread this advice to someone else who's having a similar problem. (Can't tell whether or not OP can't see the word "custom" like I can't):

Before you unzip NookManager already has the custom folder with subfolders files/menu/scripts. When you unzip NTGAppsAttack it also has the same custom folder & subfolders and the unzip should add those files to the existing custom folder and subfolders already on the sd card. You must have the file /custom/menu/custom on your sdcard for the NTGAppsAttack menu to appear and, of course, all the other NTGAppsAttack files in the appropriate folders for it to work. Then boot NookManager and from the NookManager main menu select More, then Custom, then Install NTGappsAttack.

I've unzipped the file and put the unzipped files under the pre-existing custom directory as the above paragraph specified customer / menu / custom. Doesn't work there, either.

I appreciate your help.

given that you have wifi at home, I assume it's better than that 2G connection. so why would you use 2G instead of your home wifi while at home?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
seems from 2018, that whatsapp backup doesn't take space from your Google drive anymore. you could assume everything is still there, that it didn't overwritten itself.
[General Questions and Answers] DhiralSankhe:
I reinstalled whatsapp but none of the media data was available as before only the chats were restored. Also I just tried the Dr. Fine for recovery but nothing helps it just shows my existing data. Promoted to root to access deleted data
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
didn you check your whatsapp folder on your phone? is your database folder completely empty?
[General Questions and Answers] DhiralSankhe:
Yes. After reinstalling all the data was gone. Just my chats where restored. I don't understand what kind of bug is this which clean wipes all your media.
[General Questions and Answers] foormea:
Perhaps I wasn't clear. My network connection at home is bad enough in 3g/4g that I cannot make phone calls. Switching to 2g switches me to a different operator's antenna which actually works for phone calls. And since I'm home, I indeed have WiFi, so being on 2g at home is fine. I'd like to automate the switch.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
if your phone is nearly full, usually these things happen. the phone simply doesn't have enough free storage left to safely run. use a micro sd to backup your future whatsapp photos, don't wait for your phone to fill up and start acting erratically. I keep around 50% of my internal storage always empty. only had such problem when the internal storage was down to the last 5-10 gb
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
oh, you are using 2G to make calls? sorry. in Europe we dont use data connections for calls.
[General Questions and Answers] DhiralSankhe:
I have more than 150 GB left in my phone. And whatsapp just did it out of the blue.
[General Questions and Answers] foormea:
I'm not using 2g for calls. Setting the phone to 2g forces it to use an antenna closer to me.

Anyway, do you know how to properly get the WiFi status from shell, and how I could automate this?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I never used this kind of things, but I know there are apps that can automate task/actions based on your location or schedule to a specific time, did you come to try one of them from Play Store?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Just a silly question, did you enable your current file manager you are using to let it show hidden files and see if inside the WhatsApp folder there is something? I don't think that by simply updating the app, all your media has to disappear. Maybe you are using an untrusted WhatsApp app like GB?
