Cool, so when developing an app, you need some amount of security on it. Apps are apk files, which are supercompressed files of code and stuff. Integrity fingerprints are another measure of security for those apk files. Hope that helped. Let me know if you need anything else. Have a good one.

All questions are good questions so please ask. There are a lot of things I don't know but I have a lot of info on software. Pls ask if you need something. Have a good one.

How to level up in XDA. I see someone posted on this a while ago. Levelling up is easy. All you need to do is react, comment, reply, and be helpful. I am currently at level 12 or 13 and I joined 4 or 5 days ago. Hope this helped. Have a good one.

[General Questions and Answers] trevtdogg:
I assume you are talking about checksum files, to ensure the APK hasn't been modified from the source code?

that is not what they are asking about, they are asking about spoofing ROM fingerprints in order to achieve device integrity (play integrity in the play store app) on a device that uses hardware attestation when using an unlocked bootloader.

the spoofed fingerprint forces droid guard to use software attestation instead, and uses the details from the spoofed fingerprint in order to pass device integrity.

this is commonly used so that google wallet can still work with NFC payments. most apps don't need device integrity to run though, just basic integrity is enough.
[General Questions and Answers] InfinityBelow:
Developers through unity making apps can add integrity fingerprints. This can lead to confusion about the definition. Thanks for the tip.

Droid guard does not work without spoofing fingerprints true but there are workarounds. I develop software. Exe and apks. I will post further on this later.
[General Questions and Answers] InfinityBelow:
Most apps do actually use device integrity it is just sometimes not enabled for their system if using an unlocked bootloader.

Maybe you didn't get it completely right, it may require more than the changes you made or maybe you didn't make the right changes. It will require some trial and error, you just have to be willing to put in the time and effort to figure it out.

Or you can try installing an android emulator app on your phone and install 5.0 android inside the emulator then install your game in the emulator.

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Hi.

I am really stuck with what to do now I've had 2 different Samsung tablets that have developed the same issue.

I used to use the A7 Lite, which started to go noticably yellow in patches when viewing white/light colours around the edge of the display. It did this much more when the screen was on for longer periouds, and was even more obvious when the tablet was charging and the tablet was generating more heat. This tablet got sent back to samsung for repair and they confirmed it to be a faulty battery and display and both got replaced.

I've had the new A9 128gb 8gb RAM for a month or two now (so supposedly a higher end model) and it is starting to do the same thing. Although the patches are not as big or randomised, it is very noticeable that when I have the tablet on for some time, the first 6 - 10mm of the display basically all around it is clearly much more yellow on a white background than the rest, and it gets worse the longer it is on - and worse still when charging in the areas it gets warmer.

Surely this has got to be a samsung specific fault? I've not found anything about it though. I've had other tablets from Lenovo and Huawei that have had far better quality full HD screens compared to this that have had no issues over 6 years of use, as well as numorous random brand tablets that haven't had burned out whites like this. I'm just so stuck with what to do and I've basically lost confidence with samsung being able to make a good display on their smaller tablets.

I'm unsure if what I'm posting is totally relevent for this forum, as I don't think this is anything that can be fixed by any suggestions. But what I'm finding hard, is finding proper branded tablets these days that are 7 - 8 inch that have a good display at at least 1920x1200. All of Samsung's ones at the lower price range seem to be 1366 accross or lower which is pretty terrible if I'm honest.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you wipe system partition in TWRP before you flashed the ROM? Sometimes wiping system is necessary before flashing a ROM if you are coming from stock and flashing custom ROM. Another thing is, your system partition might not have enough space to flash the Gapps package that you used. You may have to use a smaller Gapps package or you might need to re-size your system partition by taking some space from user storage and adding it to system partition to make system partition larger, it's risky so be careful.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It might be "burn-in" damage to the display, if so, there are some apps in Playstore that can minimize burn in effects. It doesn't "fix" it, it just blends it in so that it isn't as noticeable.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Thanks for this advice. I will look into it. I feel like this should be something covered by warranty, but based on the fact I've had 2 different model samsung 8 inch tablets both develop the same fault, if they repair it, I am sure it will occur again. It's like they haven't developed them properly. I can have my Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus static on the same screen for hours and it hasn't had any issues and I've had that for over 5 years. worrying that samsung has started to have this issue on both of mine within a few weeks / months.

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I don't use my A9 for this amount of time static, I'm just mentioning that my Lenovo tablet can manage this and it never has issues. There are occasions where I use maps when traveling (I don't drive but like to see where I'm going) So the screen has had the certain parts of the apps static, but this isn't ghosting or anything like that, it is clearly image burn, or at least I think it is. If modern amoled displays can't support stationary things for a fair amount of time, then how are people supposed to use their phone in a cradle in a car for a long drive without destroying their screen? If this is what modern displays are like, it's a pretty big step backwards in this aspect.

This is a picture of it that is actually rather representative of the issue - other than the more visible pixals. I mostly use it in landscape, and bizarrely, it is the top of the screen (right of the picture) that has been much more affected by the issue, despite there being less static stuff here. The bottom of the tablet on the picture is also pretty bad. This is more or less the same issue that occurred with my A7 lite which got sent to Samsung to fix, and they confirmed it was a "faulty display and battery"

My very first A7 lite also had to be sent back instantly as it had many stuck sub pixals. I just can't tell if I'm just unlucky or Samsung just don't have any quality control on their lower end tablets. I feel that if I send this back to be fixed, I can more or less guarantee there will be another display issue based on my experience.

Is there any way I can slip a new rom into a Motorola Edge (2023)? I've looked everywhere but People seem to avoid the phone like the plague as I find the Edge 40—which has almost the exact same specs but has a more powerful mediatek chip and I think is europe exclusive—is what people dev for. If I say... Try to slip CalyxOS on it using the Edge 40 rom. Will my phone brick itself? Because honestly it seems like when it comes to modifying the phone. I got a dud.

Well, this is how it works, OLED and its derivate, tend to degradation, although that, there are some improvements, comparing with those from some years back, the effect up-today are not very noticeable for all the users, also, software can improve.

Anyway, there´s a great difference, using Maps than using a completely static image, or letting an app, with the screen on, like a calc app, anyway it would need many amount of time, till something happens, intensive brightness also counts, specially in white backgrounds.

Definitely, lower end devices has no many improvements.

Hi, I became an Android 13 user today and wish I had the old customizable navigation bar back. Specifically, I'd like the 'recent;home;back' layout but it seems like older methods like `adb shell settings` don't work anymore and nav bar apps that use accessibility features to overlay a different bar feel like a suboptimal solution.

Is there any way on android 13 to change the "native" nav bar to the reversed layout?

Hello. I have a POCO M3 with crdroid installed. Yesterday I updated it from 9.14 from 9.13, the update broke the root(Magisk/Zygisk couldn't see the root.) so I decided to downgrade back to 9.13. This downgrade broke com.android.systemui, which I tried to reinstall using adb, First I pulled the apk from the phone to keep as backup, then I tried 3 versions of the app from apkmirror (Had to push it to the phone and chmod 644, persistent app.), none worked. Now not even the backup version is working anymore, I've tried to do an update installation (Flashing the 9.13 rom on top of what I already have) to the phone but it didn't work. The phone still receives notifications and if I uninstall com.android.systemui it kind of works, but without navigation buttons, notification bar and lock screen so it's unusable. Do I have any other option other than reflashing? I REALLY do not want to wipe my phone. I have full access to it through adb.

Probably damage caused by heat. Do you use the device while charging? Do you play games while charging or use a lot of social media apps while charging? I wouldn't base my thoughts on the behavoir/durability of other Android devices. There are so many differences between device models that you can't really compare them in that manner because they all have their own pros and cons. No device is a perfect creation and your milage may vary, even if comparing devices that are made by the same brand.

You have posted this question in more than one thread and more than once. Not once did you mention or even hint at remuneration.

Is the question really "Can you build me an app for free?"
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I do charge it in my laptop bag with a power bank at times and I suppose there is a possibility that once or twice the screen has been on for a bit as the case isn't of the auto screen off type. But compared to my A7 lite, this doesn't feel anywhere near as hot while charging.

I do game, but never on android devices, and also use next to no social media other than forums. And of the few I do use, I chose dark mode. It's also rare I use these while charging.

About the only time I can think of a long term use of the tablet while charging is when using maps.

The main thing that frustrates me about almost all modern tablets towards the budget end is that I do think the screens are getting worse. Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei all no longer seem to make them at at least full HD. The image quality seems far worse than my old lenovo and Huawei tablets. And looking at what both brands have available now, below £200, none have a decent resolution.

I accepted that this would be a disadvantage, but I didn't expect that the screen would have burning issues, which now 3 samsung tablets I've had have had.
