So in my new Black Shark 4, the keyboard does not want to show up when I am in split-screen (native android).

It doesn't show up for the app above or below, it does show in bubble apps (messenger modded apk to work as it was back before Android 11 and floating apps multitasking.)

Other than that the split-screen functionality barely works,

Trying to watch a video on youtube, the video is forced so upwards that you cannot see the video anymore if you max out the bottom window.

Any fixes I can do without relying on the future Android 12 update of Blackshark at the moment?

Now, it's clearer, the restored data is not compatible with your actual OS. Especially things inherent to the ROM itself, I mean some settings can "break" the visual aspect and the normal running of a specific custom ROM, it's almost always explicitly stated by developers, new ROMs don't admit all kind of restoring. You should take a logcat, and place it in the specific ROM forum, so the developer can determine what the issue is causing it.

Well, this is exactly what I guessed and meant, some devices don't have a recovery, when you do a restore, then the partition that is supposed to act as a "recovery" (We don't know what exactly you did restore but...), can get overwritten.
[General Questions and Answers] thebabylonrd:
ok look. this doesnt seem to be getting at the issue. the data is restored to the the appropriate partitions by twrp restore.. each partiton is backed up and restored automattically. and no OS change occured in the process. i simply download 1 app as a 'control' on a freshly factory reset phone. it is backed up in twrp, and then restoring that backup 5 minutes later onto the same factory

reset phone, i get the said issue here. on lake/coral phones everytime. i appreciate all the help guys but im not sure im describing my issue very well.

PICTURES: See how the power menu is old? and heres the broken environment with no navigation buttons, no status bar, no gestures, using settings to enable nav buttons doesnt work. sometimes if i reboot the phone it will work on the next boot-up. but usually not,
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It depends, again, in which partitions were restored, may be strange but, most frequently, custom ROMs don't admit restoring system apps and/or system settings, no matter that the backed up comes from the same ROM. I mean that if you restore only from user apps, it won't cause any error.

Also, I would add that some versions may present this kind of bugs, I saw in the Realme 3 forum a very similar issue with a specific version.

Hello, so i am new to the community. I was a avid visitor in the past and now i thought i should join the XDA community. I was wondering how and where should i request for a mod for a android application. It is not available in anywhere because maybe the app is not really that popular and there is a feature where we need to watch ads to unlock content no other way. I tried contacting the developer for any in app purchase but to no avail. So here i hope to get some help. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] thebabylonrd:
ok so the partition table on the pixel 4 xl uses a 'Super' partition which is a dynamic partition that lumps together system, product, vendor, etc.. all in one single dynamic 'Super' partitothe only other partitions are 'boot' 'data' 'misc' 'persist'. atleast thats the way TWRP shows it . there are only 5 or so partitions total that TWRP even recognizes when doing a backup operation.

would u suggest omitting the Super partiton and all its constituents when backing up?
[General Questions and Answers] thebabylonrd:
can you be more specific about what exactly you are looking for? what app do you need a mod for and what is the mod supposed to do?

does this mod have a name?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Yes, I know what super partition actually means, it hosts various images.

From the partitions backed up and to achieve the sole purpose to have running a device after of, i.e. switching from a custom ROM to another custom ROM, I don't see why restoring other partition than data. With the goal to not set it up and install every app again, but the misc, persist and others, don't think is needed, it can cause some instability.

Most of the time, backing up the super partition is useless and consume a huge space, why? If you want at some point to return to the original status, then you should flash it through fastboot or restoring the complete firmware through a specific tool, and if you want to re-flash or flash for first time a new custom ROM, the new system image, (sometimes may include an OOS vendor too) the proper size/space required is set dynamically to get a place within the super partition, that is unpacked/repacked OTG, replacing the old system (and vendor if applicable) without touching the other images.

Im using my POCO M3 on the GNU/Linux distrubutions named Linux Mint and Arch Linux. I installed fast-boot and adb through the package manger. My Arch install is running the latest rc kernel and the Linux Mint install runs the latest stable kernel. Im using a usbc to usbc cable to connect to my computers.

When I try to install orangefox I recieve this:

Sending 'boot.img' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 4.336s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Is your recovery file named "recovery.img"? If not, rename it to "recovery.img". Is your recovery.img stored in the folder where fastboot is located? Are you opening a terminal from within that folder?

When you run the "fastboot devices" command in terminal, does it return a serial number?
[General Questions and Answers] gndgfr:
Yes to all.[the first 2 you could have found out by reading the terminal output]
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Not necessarily, you could have easily been using the wrong file name, which is why I asked to be certain. It is a common mistake, users enter "recovery.img" instead of the actual name of their file due to following a guide and not understanding the difference.

The manufacturer may have removed certain fastboot functions from your device, that may be why it is saying "command not found"

Hi, please could someone point me (a real noob) in the right direction to find help for the following:

Phone - Sony Xperia L1

trying to recover a relative's holiday photos taken with the phone camera. They were only on the phone internal memory, never backed up online.

phone permanently locked through too many screen lock attempts. google details forgotten.

steps I took were several years ago (before covid) so I've forgotten exactly what I did!

Think I unlocked the bootloader, tried to reinstall the os several times, destroying the original file structure in the process so the photos aren't visible anymore.

After the initial message - "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" The phone boots ok, but after about a minute of screen time it reboots every time.

no detection when connected to pc.

I'd be grateful for any advice, even pointers as to who I could go to for data recovery, as android phone data recovery services seem to be thin on the ground.

Much info and utilities on the web seems very dodgy with poor english.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] thebabylonrd:
ok thankyou for the input. huh. i really like the idea of having the ability to take a perfect backup so as to restore a phone to the same state. in such a case, it may be more ethical to just use seedvault or something.

when backing up /data only, assuming that doing so will sidestep this bug, does this restore apps and their data and just leaves the settings and stuff to be reconfigured?

thanks for your time
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Considering the things you have already tried, you've pretty much destroyed any chance you had of recovering data from the device.
[General Questions and Answers] eswads:
Thanks for your reply, I feared that might have been the case. I was hoping that maybe it could just be the equivalent of a 'quick format' of a drive where the registry is wiped but the data is still there, but it seems not.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The data may actually still be there, retrieving it in a manner that is intact, decryptable and decipherable is the issue. You can still try recovering the data but it will require rooting the device or installing TWRP recovery and using it to make a nandroid backup to an external sdcard then use a PC to decrypt and extract the data from the backup file to be successful. Non rooted and non TWRP methods will not get results.

Or you can find a tech shop that has the equipment and the know how to retrieve the data directly from the chip.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
If you have destroyed the file structure, a TWRP nandroid will not get you the data. TWRP will only backup the valid parts of a file system, it does not backup "empty space" that may contain the remnants of old files. Additionally, TWRP does not back up your logical SDCard; where most photos are stored.

I just posted this on google support, but maybe someone here can help.

I had to hard reset my Pixel 5 and now it's duplicated in my devices list. See screenshots : both entries are exact same physical phone but one is inactive. I had to label old one "DON'T USE" so I don't make any mistake...

I can't delete "old" one and if I uncheck it from visible in market, it also uncheck "new" one.

Also if I ask google assistant "where's my phone", it looks for the "old" one (i.e. assistant says "your DON'T USE should ring now")

Any way to solve this and wipe old phone from my account whithout risking to loose my data?

Thanks for support.

Hi! I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x Mediatek. A few days ago my phone was suddenly stuck on boot only showing the Mi logo and powered by android at the bottom. Did a factory reset and after updating everything the same problem happens. Found out that this happened because of the update for Google Play Services. It was updated on 23 Feb, the ver. is not on apkmirror anymore somehow. Downloaded Google Play Services ver. 21.48.58. and turned off all auto-update settings I could find. Everything was fine until today, 25 Feb 4:22 p.m., when Google Play Services suddenly auto-updates itself to ver. 22.02.21. and the same thing happened again. Is my device not compatible with the update or what. My workaround was to reboot through recovery mode when the bootloop happened and turn on airplane mode right away. If not, the phone would be stuck on the bootloop again. So with the phone in airplane mode, I uninstalled updates on Google Play Services and installed the ver. 21.48.58. This lasted for some time with the phone on Wi-Fi, but it bootlooped again if Google Play Services auto-updates itself. Does anyone know why this might happen ??

A few days my Teclast T20 (t2e2) get off and into in bootloop

Loocking for the problems in the internet I couldn't find a correct fix

https://xdaforums.com/t/teclast-t20-cant-install-stock-rom-with-spflashtool.4408139/

I installed TWRP 3.2.2 with spflashtool, but I can't install the stock rom with twrp because the rom format is not installable via twrp, so I think the way to reinstall android is via spflashtool

But I think there is a problem with the tablet, because when I install stock rom via spflashtool, the flash is so fast, the program says that the process is completed, but my Teclast still in bootloop

I have recording my spflashtool for you to see, you can see that the data transfer speed is too fast... Can I fix my tablet?

Thanks for read

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) that I purchased used a few years ago.

The phone was originally from India and I am in the U.S. I flashed a different ROM ("ALEXNDR.N960FXXU6FTJ5") and have never really noticed that I was missing any functionality.

I don't recall ever trying to change my Region Code.

Is there any reason to do this?

I assume that it is possible to change it.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I recently saw your post, most of the partitions are useful either to fix a device from a bricked state or for an upgrade, (if you can download the original firmware, they are there) not to restore a device to the "same state" because of switching from a custom ROM i.e, LOS to PE, those partitions, as they are not contained in a custom ROM, they were not overwritten. Custom ROMs usually include boot, system and data, some of them include vendor OOS, and for Xiaomi is provided also the firmware.

In a normal TWRP backup, Data include apps, its data and settings.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, there’s no reason other than a device having troubles with connection and lost of signal, if you are fine with it, then it's OK, also you probably got rid of many ads and apps that most people out of India are not interested on.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Can you tell us which device you have? Also keep in mind that actually most of TWRP can't decrypt data, probably you don't really need it though.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Take a look at the files contained in the stock ROM.

Analyze the sizes of the files to find inconsistencies based on them.

Can all the partitions be ticked?

See if your device is recognized under MediaTek USB or DA or VCOM under Windows device manager and if you installed properly all the drivers.

Have your device bootloader unlocked?,

Do you happen to know if your device uses preloader mode or need BROM mode to be flashed? (meta mode maybe?)

Check if you are connecting properly (with the right combination key) to the PC.

Check in SP Flash tool which settings you are using.

Probably now you realized that they are many to investigate before to take that step...

Provide a screenshot from all these points and the link from where you got your ROM. Your video is not working though.

Hi,

I am looking for solution to use a remote control on my android device from my PC. But main condition is that running app don't know that it is remote controlled.

By remote control i mean that i want to control this app from PC (receive consecutive screenshots and send input).

I can't use emulator because target app can detect emulation.

I know that my goal can be achived through ADB, but problem is that i need to hide from app presense of ADB (that developer options enabled, that usb is connected, that charging is on etc).

I heard that i need to root my device and use magisk to hide things i want to hide but I am not sure.

Can someone please point me correct place on this forum to ask my question, or maybe even info to start digging into.

[General Questions and Answers] FlashPlayer13:

As far as i know my app (and any android app) can see other running apps and can detect any known RC apps like VNC, Anydesk, TeamViewer and so on. And such running apps can be tracted as red flag. Thats why i am looking for some hacky way to solve my problem.

Correct me please if i am wrong.

We dont know your app, so we dont know.

Have you tried running a script asynchronously on the device. ie not over ABD. Not as a final soln,but as a check for an avenue to go down.
[General Questions and Answers] FlashPlayer13:
This is a bookmaker app (bet365) that is known as a app with strong security checks.

What script do you mean?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
You can run shell command lines via ADB, which you have said fails.

You can also run shell commands via:

1. An on device terminal app

2. Shell out via a custom app, you built

3. Run a shell command by an app with pre-built commands. Thats how virtually all App root processes are done.

4. Run a shell script file either via a general app. eg. MiX file manager has the feature to select via GUI and run an SH file

Basically its a shell that runs the commands, NOT an app that may be explicitly search for by your problematic app.
[General Questions and Answers] FlashPlayer13:
Got it, thank you!

My idea was to create consecutive screenshots and send them through usb to PC. And i have few questions:

2. How can I hide that developer mode is on (do i need it this way?) and usb is connected?

And also I am wondering - can i find on this forum someone who can help with such script?

What is this crDROID "MYSTERY" BUILD?

TLDR: Found some crDROID build that works flawlessly. Tho couldnt find this rom listed on any credible sources (such as XDA). Naturally suspicious. But do want. Anyone else used this rom or saw any info on it? Details below:

- I've been looking for a LineageOS 17.1 build for my phone, G530FZ Galaxy Grand Prime (or "gprimeltexx") to switch to from LineageOS 18 due to slowdowns and short battery life on newer version.

- Followed >THIS< link on >THAT< XDA thread, which landed me on androidfilehost.com.

- While LOS17.1 rom was downloading, I've decided to use the site search to look for "gprimeltexx".

- This is the result:

Spoiler content hidden.

- Unexpectedly, the crDroid 7.11 (Android 11) build for g530FZ (highlighted) showed up in the search.

- It is weird, since previously I've searched high and low for crDroid build for g530FZ that is newer than 2018 (xda thread) to no avail.

- Scouring the google and duckduckgo for variations of "crDroid 7.11 grand prime" yielded no results EXCEPT this androidfilehost file. Searching for the highlighted rom filename shows ONLY this androidfilehost link in the results.

- Since my phone was long wiped anyway, I've decided to download and flash this crDroid rom via TWRP.

- Surprisingly, it did flash, and after about 5 min of initialization I was prompted to go through regular Android initial setup (language, etc)

- Even more surprises: despite running Android 11 (which has always been slow on the prehistoric Grand Prime), this crDroid rom runs very fast even with all the fancy animations (which mercilessly lagged the device on lineageos 18)

I am tempted to use this rom as my main phone os. HOWEVER, given that it came from a totally random source and has no info on it on XDA, I am naturally hesitant. Could anyone could clarify the following please:

Does this ROM come from XDA or some other credible sources? I've searched on it myself couldnt find anything, but maybe I've missed something that you know.

Any way to check whether this rom sends/receives sus data?

Developer of the ROM is listed as "AaronPhilips101". Does that ring a bell?

the mere existence of this crDroid rom (and other unofficial versions) indicates it can be built on G530FZ. Are there any tutorials on how to build it from source for this particular device (g530FZ)?

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I have just bought a car with Bluetooth and an AUX input. I have had my phone connected via Bluetooth for Music and a separate software location to connect my phone via Bluetooth as a phone, with steering wheel controls for phone calls as well as separate controls for the music.

The Music over Bluetooth was rubbish quality, so I switched to using the AUX input on the car via the headphone jack on the phone. I know that normally when you use the headphone jack, the phone assumes you have a headset plugged in (ie it assumes it also has a Mic), so the mic on the phone does not work. I have to unplug the headphones to receive or make a call. This example is without any Bluetooth device.

I was wondering, in a general sense, when you connect your phone via Bluetooth for phone calls, does that override the fact you have headphones plugged in? and thereby use the Mic on the Bluetooth device without unplugging the headphones?

Yes, I understand the best will be to test, but the car interface is not easy to navigate, so wish to check how it "should" work instead of me simply doing something wrong. I guess it would be the same as using a wireless Bluetooth headset, while having different music headphones plugged in. Can you do both at the same time?
