May I´m wrong, but I think that Global animations are implicitly made for every Android version, so no way to change that in the normal way.

Launchers have its own animation as any app can "break" that, not the apps itself, but, if you are in the desktop, they can show slightly differences.

This way, custom ROMs can "offer" different animations, but stock ones, only reduce or remove them at all, like happens in low end devices.

I got a motorola g51 and there were 2 things that irritated me, the navigation buttons being in wrong order with no setting to change it and no clock on the top bar. I found a thread here which helped change the navigation button order with a third party shortcut maker app where i could access "hidden" settings and I was thinking could I also get the clock to the top bar with some hidden setting i don't know the name of? Any suggestions to get the clock there are welcome, although I wouldn't like to install any custom launchers.

Hi, i noticed that my samsung J5 2017, have little loose charging port

i mean, original micro USB is somehow little wider and shorter than ones that i buy in store micro usb plug dimensions.

and, i noticed when i plug it in samsung, it charges, but it is allowing some angles and still charge.

is this a feature?

in past, i would think something is broken or will break. because micro usb should go in straight, and not allow any angles, that why it's deep. but this one is shallower.

do newer phones also have this thing too?

I'm trying to root a Moto G 5G XT-2213-3. Found an xda thread that suggests flashing a patched boot image. The image that can be downloaded from that thread is for an earlier version of my phone's firmware. Any problem with using that on my phone? I don't care if it reverts my phone to an earlier firmware as long as it is rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] dthslce42:
A question, perhaps a doubt, but any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Flashing a boot from an earlier firmware version won´t change the entire firmware version. But you should avoid, flashing a different image -whatever- than the firmware you´re currently on.

Get the firmware for your device, check the exact same version, download it, usually you should get it in Lollinet site, extract it, patched, and proceed.

Couldn't I update maybe TWRP first and then install the LOS20 image ?

It´s a major update, from 9 to 13, there were many changes in the way.

Unless the developer says the contrary, you also should upgrade the stock OxygenOS, to the latest version, over what you´re actually using, as a base.
[General Questions and Answers] DonSqualo:
Ty.

As far as I understood the remarks on LineageOS regarding such an update, they tell even to have Andriod11 Stock running on the device.

But latest downloads for this device on oneplus server is even Android 12

So I will have no chance to get an official StockROM with Android11 from there

(which is mandatory. Even if one just has latest Android12 StockROM on the deivce, LineageOS team tells that I must downgrade then!!)

What a mess. But why even downgrading to 11 first , if I would have 12 as StockROM just installed!?

I don't understand it, really.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The logical would be to say, that you must have atleast A11, not that it doesn´t work with A12, but...

I assume, that in the build time, they bring to that ROM was done (and tested) over A11, so they can sure, it works fine with A11, not tested with A12, what doesn´t mean, anyway, it won´t work with A12.

Not for this specific device, but in the exact same situation, I never had to downgrade, in order to can flash a custom ROM.

Edit: LOS 20, like I saw, is the latest official buld for Enchilada, and it´s A13, so I´m absolutely sure, it would work, even better with OOS (OxygenOS) Android 12 as a base.
[General Questions and Answers] DonSqualo:
Ty, fine. Then i will try it with A12.

But I got two more question regarding this: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/enchilada/fw_update

1. Must I reboot after this commands? Or can I proceed dirctly with adb sideload zip?

2. The LOS16 recovery got no fastboot. Should I install therefore first latest TWRP or can I replace fastboot with adb commands? (And if so, in which mode exactly should LOS recovery been then?)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Firstly, I don´t think you need to flash those files, if you are up-to-date, don´t know from where those files (firmware specifics) are coming from.

For the rest, update to the latest LOS recovery from here https://download.lineageos.org/enchilada

In case, you´re sure you need to apply this update, remember that you´ll go to flash those files/images through fastboot mode, so when you finish to flash them, you´ll need to boot to recovery again, there are some recoveries that while in fastboot(d) admits the use of ADB commands, you can see if this option is present in this recovery, when you boot to it.

Again, just in case (I don´t think), you need to flash this update, flash the update.zip, prior to boot to system.

You can make all the process in LOS recovery
[General Questions and Answers] DonSqualo:
Again, ty vm!

As far as I understood, this link is for updating from being on less than A11 (as i am with LOS16 -> A9) to latest OOS.

And after doing that flashs, one can go on to sideload the latest LOS zip archiv from here https://download.lineageos.org/enchilada

So I'm still asking me: are these flashs sufficient to be seen as an update to latest OOS?

And if so, must I reboot to stock afterwards to take effect, or to recovery again? (or even no reboot?)

Because on that link: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/enchilada/fw_update there is nothing menitoned in doing afterwards.

Furtheron I don't understand this fastboot thing. What u propose to get latest LOS recovery is to update the whole LOS zip image ?!?

But this I shouldn't do as long as I'm on LOS16 (because I have to update first to latest OOS (A12) which needs fastboot for that!?!)

That sounds to me as dead-lock situation?!

Any remedies left? (still appreciating them, because until now I feel like ahead of bricking my dev)

[General Questions and Answers] superdrampee:
Hey there. I'm on this website "https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/cofud/official/" trying to find out which firmware to download to rollback to Android 11. I know I need XT2173-3 but can't figure out what which Q3-26-8X-X to get. I don't see anything like that string on my bootloader screen.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Sorry for delay, yes, this is one of the guides that could work.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If it is from being on less than A11, then it´s a downgrade, not an update, if I´m not wrong we agree that you can flash LOS20 while in A12. Or atleast, this is my thought, I´m pretty sure you can.

Not for two reason, if I choose your own words "this link is for updating from being on less than A11", and you said, you currently are in A12, and second, this is just a part of the OOS, it´s a kind of firmware, this means, a tiny portion of images, not the whole content of the ROM.

I guess, this is already answered in my previous post. Just consider a general thought on this, if you didn´t flash all the files needed (like the LOS ROM), then what do you want to find/do by rebooting?, the firmware provided will replace your current firmware, and the LOS will replace the most important (and functional part).

Oh no, you said, you were in A12, then what?. From this start point, updating the LOS recovery is the most indicated.

Just sort it out, the actual status you are on:

- Android 12 as a base, remember that the core OOS is still there, so you can flash straight LOS 20, as a side note, LOS contains the latest LOS recovery, so if your actual LOS recovery can flash the LOS ROM, all is good, LOS both, ROM and recovery will be updated in the process.

You can´t brick at all, doing what I recommended, but if you take other direction, like downgrading, and doing random stuffs, results may be unpredictable.

yes, it´s OK, I know you are in LOS16 currently, wanting to upgrade to LOS20, and from I understood with OOS based on A12.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Yes, to have your device running again, but consider that not all devices need doing this. If the OEM unlock toggle was grayed out in enabled, then you could make any modification, in regards with unsigned images.
[General Questions and Answers] DonSqualo:
Summarizing:

To make this update fro LOS16 to 20 I have first to install OOS (based on A12), which will wipe all the installed data (yes, i know: backup) .

Two things are still not clear to me:

Would this link from lineageOS (which i post) be enough to seen as an "installed OOS"?

and second:

I got no fastboot option atm when I'm in recovery and I'm not sure how to get it.

(because I see the way in flashing first the latest LOS zipfile as a deadlock to their given manual how to update from an Android lower than 11).

Sorry maybe for repeating. But what I'd wish here from linaeageOS would be a step-by-step doc)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I guessed you say, you´re currently are in A12, but anyway...

Actually I have an OP5 (cheeseburger), and you could use any custom recovery available for the part of flashing LOS, there´s nothing special in use the LOS recovery, anyway, if you want to follow the underlying in the LOS site, the method is as follows:

- Update to the latest OOS, here a guide https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-oxygenos-ota-updates-on-oneplus-phones/ and here from the official site, the same really https://service.oneplus.com/cy_gr/search/search-detail?id=op30#:~:text=Click the If you want to flash the whole ROM, then you can use fastboot for that.

- And here some old doubt, reboot or not, in this case, device will reboot itself, check that OEM unlock and USB debugging remain enabled.

- Flash the LOS recovery (you can flash any), and boot to it, following the procedure for your device.

- Flash the latest LOS20, following the procedure for your device, you can, either push the zip (after of formatting data) to the sdcard, or ADB sideload it.

A device that was launched with A11 never will see A14, only 2 major updates are promised by major of OEMs.

Usually apps that are pre-installed contain links to some advertising sites, so you shouldn´t use them at all, to avoid that, if you don´t want.

Replace all the apps that can causing this, and use other instead.

Also you can try, by disabling the apps as much as you can, be careful to not touch the essential apps https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-adb-appcontrol-1-7-9-ultimate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/

Package Parsing error on jojo edition docomo phone L-06d. (It’s an Lg Optimus vu)

I bought a limited edition jojo docomo phone (L-06d) and it came out in 2012. But whenever I try to update any of the apps it will not let me and will keep saying “package parsing error”.

loooong story, the crux of it is.

I have an old & tiny phone running CyanogenMod Android 6.0.1 with the old root add-on (not Magisk). It was my fathers previous device, and he somehow managed to turn on Multi-User mode. So now, the 4GB data partition only has 2 GB of useable space.

Is there a way to turn this mode off and get back to 4GB data? preferably without wiping the data of the main user?

It has TWRP installed, if I wipe the data partition, will the 4GB re-appear? But I understand that will wipe the main users data.

I really have never used this multi user feature of android before, so I am at a loss, and Im certain my father has no idea how or that he even managed to turn this feature on. I have searched the web, and I see details on how to basically hide the feature from the user, but none of them talk about recovering the storage space.

Always that I used the option to have two accounts, I never had issues erasing that user, I know, probably the options between 2 accounts and multiple users are not equal.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I put CM there as an upgrade from the crappy & old ROM/firmware. No definitely not an exposed module. It was my non tech-savvy 80yo father that used the device, after I upgraded him to 6.0.1 (and turned off root), and when I gave it to him, I'm certain I had a decent number of aps installed (inc off-line maps/nav), while now with only a few and its running out of storage space. Never underestimate the technically unknowledgeable. You may of not have had any issues with your devices, as relatively, they had oodles of storage. This one is struggling. I was shocked how bad the phone lagged (I didnt remember it being so bad when I gave it to him, and I even briefly considered the downgrade, at the time, due to its physical dimensions).

I deleted the additional user, and it did get a little less laggy (im guessing it freed some RAM), but still only reports 2GB of data/storage, when the device has 4GB. I think (if I wish to use the phone) I am going to need to reformat the data partition, hopefully not repartition it manually. Its a temporary situation until my daily (Pixel 4A 4G) gets its screen repair. My previous decent device (Sammy S4 GT-i9506) has a broken GPS, and I need to use navigation in the following days.

The other confusing/annoying thing, I inserted an 8GB SD Card and chose it for adopted storage, but it is only used for the internal SD Card. I never used the feature before, but thought the bigger SD Card would also be used for the internal data partition. Not! On my first Android device (512MB data, ie 0.5GB) I had a boot script I sourced from here on XDA, that moved and used all my data to a 3GB data partition on my 64GB External SD Card. In later custom ROMs, they actually built that feature into the ROM itself.

I think my soln is to use another device (it has pretty good GPS lock) for Navigation, while using my S4 for Music; until I get my Pixel 4A back. And not Nav & Music on the same old device.
