[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
I discovered an oddity months ago in /sys/fs/selinux/booleans. A Boolean there called 'device_unlocked' which is set at 'off'. You can change it by using a shell command to say 'on'. But it doesn't persist after a reboot and defaults back to 'off.' I have no idea what it does. And seems to only be present on Amazon tablets (no one in those forums has a clue either). Android doesn't support the use of booleans anymore, at least not in AOSP.

Up until today I couldn't get it to persist the 'on' variable. I have written a small script to persist the value as seen here https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/help/setting-selinux-boolean-unlock-amazon-t3865929

My question is, has anyone seen this before or have any idea what it does? What you see in the above link is just about all there is on the matter. I have a screen cap of the log I will upload when I get home. Since persisting this, I get a log entry from /proc/cmdline that pops up now and again. Some of the values do not persist.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
First screenshot provided in the above post, is the only log entry when setting the boolean manually. So it does something. The persisting script produces the same log entry, but now produces another entry. The screenshot posted below shows the entry occasionally coming along in the logs once or twice after a reboot. It's reading /proc/cmdline. Which contains a lot of kernel cmdlines. Just run in a terminal:

cat /proc/cmdline

We assumed they were removed.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This describes only the processor that is used (mostly was) in millions of units around the world.

It looks like your device is a generic chinese, many of this kind of devices are manufactured changing the names randomly but great part of the hardware and the software are identical so firstly you have 1 and 100(?) millions possibilities to find your exact device firmware but contrarily to this you have high possibilities that any of the firmwares that run your same version (7.0) suites for your device assuming that is a real nougat.

It means that you can do the searching by putting just the build number code and/or the baseband and you will get a lot of roms, of course most of them will be in Kit Kat or Jelly Bean so is a little bit old kernel. Many of the bunch of roms that you will find are suitable for your device as entire as they are but no guarantee that they don´t have some issue and some of them can eventually soft brick it.

Depending on what is the reason that you need to change the rom it could be some other options like root it or simply doing wipes.

Whats up. So Ive been trying to format and use another partition of my sd card with link2sd but my problem is that every time I reformat another partiton of my card as ext2/3/4 the android shows card as damaged and only that partition until I reformat back to fat32. Why is my phone not recognizing ext data file and Im using AParted btw. ALSO tried app2sd but it asked me to mount the 2nd partition and going further on the next screen it showed up some kind of error and card was "damaged". Should I try another kernel on my phone ?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try to remember what you have recently installed, one of the last things that you installed yourself is causing this, use trial and error by uninstalling one of the last few apps that you installed, if the other apps are still auto-installing then you know the app that you uninstalled wasn't the one causing this, reinstall that app then try uninstalling one of the other apps that you installed. Repeat this process of uninstalling apps and seeing if it stops the auto-installing apps, if it doesn't stop, reinstall the last that app that you uninstalled and repeat the process with a different app, once you get to where the auto-installing apps are no longer being installed then you know that the last app that you uninstalled was the problem app.

Or, you can use the Malewarebytes app or any other app that scans for malware, If it finds anything, uninstall whatever it shows as malware.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
So I've had an Amazon fire 7 for a few years, which I unlocked last night. I made a mention or two here and around about a selinux booleans called device_unlocked in /sys/fs/selinux/booleans.

By default, it is set to 'off'

su
getsebool -a
device_unlocked --> off

Well I took a look at it again after I unlocked it, and guess what. Now it says 'on'. Now we can set that as root, but it won't persist on a reboot. I wrote a small script to go in su.d to set the bool to 'on' after booting, on my Amazon Fire HD 10, but that's just like setting the selinux switch to run at boot.

So the bool is definitely tied into the the device actually being bootloader unlocked. It's also written in the selinux policy. I would love to hear what anyone thinks of this, even if it's crazy.

Xiaomi Mi9 Camera

Hi all!

my Question is simple and straightforward: if I buy the Mi9 will Gcam use all the 48Mp of the sensor or just 12mp? And if it will only use 12mp will this be because pixel-bining will still work\happen or just because Pixel phones(for which gcam was made) only have 12mp camera and that is the limit? So I will actually LOSE quality compared to Stock cam mi9? Mi8 only had 12mp sensor so I can't just look in that forum for answers. Sony Phones have more MP but they don't support gcam because of the api.

I have only tested Gcam on my MIX 2 and that phone is also only 12mp sensor.

I am pondering at the moment between getting mi9 or s10+.. but price of s10+ is a bit high and from the samples i saw already s10+ doesn't shoot better quality than my s9+ (with zeroprobe's camera mod) since it has the exact same sensors as s9+ only with the ultrawide one added. I have the feeling that mi9 with gcam has the potential to be better than s10 since my mix2 (which has a ****ty single camera) can rival the s9+ with the help of gcam.

Thank you in advance!

VRUAME7 Firmware

One last thing I should mention, I have the newest stock firmware - VRUAME7. Does that change anything?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

I ran triangle away and unrooted with SuperSU and, while it unrooted the phone, device status still says "Custom". Before I unrooted with SuperSU, Triangle Away had current status as:

counter: 0

Binary: Official

Device: SCH-I545

System: Official

So it would appear as though it should work, but it didn't. Do I need to do a power down and restart? or maybe a factory reset at this point? Or does the stock firmware need to be flashed? I thought I read a thread that says VRUAME7 doesn't work with Odin, I really need help. if someone can do this for me remotely, let me know how much and when we can get started. Thanks

As stated by the other member you can´t install system apps through the normal method, to update system apps and also for Samsung apps that are not integrated to the system go to Galaxy Store (Galaxy Apps in older versions), inmediately it will notify about updates if available, if not then use the search function, type just "Samsung" and you will see the list of apps available to be updated.

View attachment 4711942 View attachment 4711930

To update apps that were installed by the user from Play Store you will find an option in settings/apps to go directly to the store and update it if available (in Oreo, I´m not sure in nougat) if not you can install an app like Smart App Manager, list the user apps, touch and hold over the app and it will be displayed an option to go to the Play Store.

Quick question about "bands", if anyone has a second to answer I'd really appreciate it..

Basically I'm thinking of getting a device that's Chinese & flashing a Global ROM on to it however it doesn't support Band 20 which my carrier (EE) uses in the UK, but when I actually looked in to it, Band 20 (800MHz) is only used for rural areas & for better indoor 4G, since I don't live in a rural area, I decided to use LTE discovery indoors to see if I did infact use Band 20, & only Band 3 appeared..

TL;DR, will having a phone that doesn't have Band 20 on EE in the UK really affect me?, Enough to not by the device?..

Without a sim card present you won´t see any info related to.

Possible solutions:

- Insert a sim card, you now will see new items on settings/connections, disable mobile data and disable sim, retire the sim if you want, reboot.

- This have some cons; retire the sim trail (if present), reboot.

- Turn on airplane mode and enable the other connections that you need.

- Check where the notification comes from by swiping slightly on the message, you will see a settings symbols; if it doesn´t come from Android notifications (not convenient to disable it) and if it comes from your carrier you can disable it.

- There´s no solution? Put an old/non functional sim card and let it in.
