I installed an emulator app on my phone and decided I didn't like and now I can't get it to uninstall by standard means. I'm going to use adb to uninstall it but I would still like to know why a user app is doing this. I can't even delete or modify its folder in user storage and when I grant it write privileges to that folder it still won't let me access the folder it tries to redirect me to another folder. Searching the web doesn't get me any answers to how/why it has this behaviour.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Ok, then your device is now booting correctly, issues with SPFT were solved, and if the only issue is with your internal memory, then the most probably is that you need to format data, use fastboot -w for that, then flash the official ROM, I assume the issue is to access your internal memory from your device itself, not through PC.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
From what I know, updates through GSIs are only compatible till an Android version, without doing some changes in the base ROM, is not possible endless updates.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably your device don´t have those partitions, one simple way to know it, is if you have those images within your stock ROM, other way is listings the partitions using ADB, more ways are also, invoking wrongly a partition, then mtk client will listed all the available onto your device.

mtkclient also can backup all the partitions you want.
[General Questions and Answers] imaadbajwa:
Hmm, what are possible methods on creating partitions? I flashed a stock rom bypassing authorisation due to mediatek chips limitations, so would flashing the os again work? Sp flash gave me no errors when i flashed stock. Would i be able to fix partition errors by using a custom recovery? I'm looking for more options before i mess up even more haha.

I tried installing Android 12 gsi (selectedFileName=system-squeak-arm32_binder64-ab-gogapps.img) using dsu sideloader and shizuku. But the installation fails and gives the error message-" E/gsid : File is too fragmented, needs more than 512 extents. " . But then I tried installing the vanilla gsi without Google apps and it flashed successful. I don't know why the same gsi with Google apps doesn't flash. I visited some forums and they say it is a bug in Android 10 which was fixed in Android 11. Since my device is arm 32bit it's difficult to flash gapps separately. Can anyone suggest any fix for installing the full rom with Google apps.

I have a daughter with a disability & shes a bit of a nightmare for managing to ring emergency services on people's phones, with police coming out once & hasn't been allowed one herself for that reason.

So my question is, if I install a custom rom on a phone, will I able to remove the ability to make emergency calls?

I know I can remove the dialer but I need to be able to make sure no emergency calls can be made from the phone too, so we don't got any more visits from the police if we give her a phone.

Thanks for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Maybe your system partition isn't big enough to flash the one with Gapps. Sometimes, devices have to be repartitioned in order to fit Gapps in system partition along with the ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There may not be a singular answer to this as the "how to do it" could depend on the specific device in question.

Try doing some Google searches for:

[General Questions and Answers] callmefoxy:
I installed Lineage OS 20 vanilla gsi which doesn"t come with google apps. I thought of flashing the gapps seperately but then i realised that i need custom recovery to perform this action( I couldn't find any other way). Currently no custom recovery is available for my device. is there any way to flash gapps without custom recovery. Can i flash gapps using fastbootd mode or adb commands. Since gsi file can be flashed via fastboot I hope than gapps could be flashed but I don't know the commands to do that. Is there any ways to do this without custom recovery. Please help. I cant live without google.

My device is - android 10, not rooted ,
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I build my own ROMs from source and always include Google apps/framework. I see too many failures with adding google post ROM flash.

However, in the ROMs I build, they prescribe to build (ie the official way) without google. On Telegram, everyone adds google using simple fastboot (not fastbootd). ie NO custom recovery required.
[General Questions and Answers] callmefoxy:
Since i am a new this i don't think i would be able to build my own custom rom . So i want to give the second method a try i.e flashing via fastboot. Can u please tell me the adb commands for this. I have a zip file from bittgapps .Is it possible to flash the extracted file one buy one on the system partition since i don't know the order of files for flashing (or can i flash the zip file without extracting). Note, however, that to my knowledge the adb install doesn't handle system apps (parts of GApps need to be installed as system apps).Hence i think i need to flash to system partition via fastbootd. please help me with a way around.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
As I said, I do not flash GApps after the ROM as I build with GApps included.

For Instruction, just go to the home page or the github page for instructions specific to your ROM and possibly device. If you go on Telegram, there will also be many people identifying which GApps packages work for your ROM / device combo.

The reason I told you I build ROMs from source, is to make it clear that I personally do NOT flash GApps after flashing the ROM zip. ie I cannot tell you how to do iut in your specific case, you will need to do some research, BUT it is possible and is a common method/path, AND they use fastboot NOT fastbootD, but normally when I read their steps, they do not use a GSI. One of the reason I build trhe GApps in is that I often read that specific GApps packages do not work, so its best to find out exactly which file has worked for others. I also do not use/build/flash LOS.
[General Questions and Answers] callmefoxy:
I know that there are gsi with google apps included but i cannot install that because my system partion has not enough space to install the one with gapps and i have no knowlode to modify/build a rom. So my only option is to flash the vanilla version of rom and to instal google framework and playstore as system apps seperaterly after flashing. but in order to do this the only method available on the internet is via custom recovery and root both of which are not available on my device. i know that we can install apps via fastboot but the whole point is to install them as system apps which cannot be done via abd (and fastboot ig). After doing research for 3 days i find nothing related to this. Can u give some fastboot commands to flash apps in system partion.

OR can i edit the gsi rom image and reduce its size?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Get on Telegram. Your 3 says will be solved in hours if not less.

My mistake, as I said, I build with gapps installed. But 5 minutes of search found the following, And I think its what I suggested in the first place, to search for LOS installation instructions. The only caveat is that you went down the road of a GSI instead of a standard ROM zip.

adb sideload GAPPS.zip

Hello, everyone.

I want to update my Samsung Tab 4 T531 with a custom ROM. I have tried crDroid and lineageOS which after rebooting is stuck on bootloop (with text Set Warranty Bit: Kernel on the right), on both tries I have used GApps (ARM, 11, Nano). Now, I am trying lineageOS (

lineage-18.1-20220913-UNOFFICIAL-matisse3g)

without GApps and it is still stuck.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This would, also, need a custom recovery, unless the stock one, is modified. to accept non-official packages. Luckily, LOS, most likely, includes its own recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No need to do something special to modify that, you may find that option, in Password and security, section, emergency call is activated by pressing PWR button, for 5 times, in some devices is enabled by default, you can disable it, easily.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Most custom ROMs i have built/seen come with a basic custom recovery, just not TWRP. Especially if they are based off of AOSP or LOS, which practicly covers nearly all. And as you say, LOS would have one, and its not only my possible assumption, the sideload command was taken from a LOS installation instruction page. I would assume they got it right.

Im running crDroid, which is based on LOS and it comes with a crDroid themed custom recovery. They require a recovery to enable adding GApps etc, as many official ROMs only come without GApps (ie vanilla).

I tried the adb sideload command but it failed.It says no device/emulators found.I think it requires root acess. btw how can I come to telegram (i dont know anyone there, atleast give a link ). The only option I see is to find a gsi file with gapps which doesn't exceed the file size of my partion (1.5gb) which doesnt exist. is there any way to resize partion and make enough space. My device has dynamic partion. But using getvar doesnt give the active slot and whike installing gsi it says" resizing system" and doesnt specify the active slot.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
No, ADB side load does not require root. It requires an unlocked bootloader which you obviously have as you flashed a non stock ROM. Root is for once your in android, not in ADB or FASTBOOT. Please read and search eg "do I need root to run adb in recovery" google search would of saved me and you time.

says no device/emulators found

it sounds like you have NOT connected to your device. Before running ANY command, check the following.

adb devices

But if you read almost any command/instructions, you would of seen this already.

You dont need any "invitation" for Telegram. Install the app from the Playstore, create a username, search for the forum/thread, join, READ what has been posted before, then ask your question.

I have given you as much help as reasonable and more than enough for YOU to help YOURSELF, please don't quote me any more. I have my own issues to solve, and as I have said above, your issue is not even in my past experience; ie others know more. Hopefully someone else will help, but I'm out. sorry and good luck.

fastboot error manually installing CWM

Hi there,

I am trying to get CWM running on an unsupported device (pantech flex p8010) following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133857

I have adb and fastboot recognizing the device, I have the files in the correct locations I believe. My problem is that whenever I type "fastboot boot boot.img" I receive an error saying "cannot load 'boot.img' : Result too large" I am wondering if this is an error that someone knows about. I also was curious whether trying "fastboot flash boot.img" would accomplish anything or is it likely likely to mess things up. I do have Onandroid installed, and have backed up to computer and phone, but I'm kind of hesitant to really go for things since I don't have the CWM bootloader, just stock.

Thanks,

Does anybody know if it's possible to turn the notification bar at the top of the screen transparent?
[General Questions and Answers] keifus.rahn:
If your using the sdk you can try this.

Connect the device to the computer via USB.

Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the downloaded image in the same directory as fastboot (platform-tools folder) in sdk.

Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader or by using the hardware key combination.

Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices

If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.

If you see "no permissions	fastboot", try running fastboot as root.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device by entering the following command: fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img where the latter part is the name of the file you downloaded.

Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. This can be done by typing fastboot boot your_recovery_image.img

Searching for a Safeboot backup file for a Cobalt SP100

I know its a cheap phone, but I'm poor and no rooting program seems to work. I've even tried the Shuame/Moborobo root attempt with no luck.

I've tried without success about a dozen other different rooting programs on my Cobalt SP100 and have started running into dodgy, virus-ridden programs now. I really just want to run Link2SD so I can expand the memory with the microSD, so if anyone who has this phone can pull a backup from the recovery screen I'd greatly appreciate it. If you have a custom ROM like CyanoGenMod, that's fine too.

The phone will let me pull data from the screen you get to using the vol + button, but otherwise someone in China managed to screw up my base flash enough that no exploit seems to work. Again, I need the backup file from the safeboot screen, not an image from a backup program. Since I can't get rooted, I can't use that type of image file.

Thanks!

I wasn't able to get my account up and running at symbianize because of the faulty validation email. But I know a post there had some guys sharing backup files for this phone. If any one knows someone with this phone, let them know. I'd be greatly in your debt!

Optimus Nexus ROM for LG GT540 Swift issue

Hello,

Yesterday I found out about this new ROM (Optimus Nexus ROM) for good ol GT540 and tried it out. I had miroslavs AOSP 2.0 ROM isntalled previously. The main problem occured after I typed the PIN code. After accepting the PIN code another prompt popped up asking me for SIM network unlock PIN. I could dismiss this message and continue in using the phone, even calls were possible to make, but everytime I booted the phone I had to go through that message box. I have tried several ROMs on that phone and never had this kind of issue. I searched the forums for this but found little help. Its pointless to pay for unlocking something that actually isnt locked. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

We may say that ADB sideload fails to work always that it, at least, started to work, but, if it is not communicating with your device, properly, then it is not failing, they´re different things. either, or your device is not properly in the mode, where ADB sideload (recovery mode) works, or the drivers are not properly installed.

Devices with dynamic partition don´t have "double" slot, as A/B, they´re different partitioning schemes. But, if your device, instead is A/B based, then. you must target to the partition you want to flash , using fastboot commands, this just in case, you switched, then, back, and so, and actually, you don´t know where "you are".

How do you come to know that your system, actually has 1.5 GB?, anyway, is enough, to fit a GSI with GApps, check this, as an example, and why not, one of them, may suit your requirement https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v410 adding that, inside the super partition, system image is resized automatically, this is the idea behind that.
