Hi all,

I tried to find basic informations about Magisk without success.

Is anyone here could explain what is Magisk, as if I was 5 years old ?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
[Security Discussion] mrrocketdog:
dont know if you saw this , but here is the thread for magisk. maybe will help. :what:

Thanks for your reply.

The thread for Magisk is too technical for me. In a first approach, I want only to understand with simple words, what Magisk can do.
[Security Discussion] mrrocketdog:
root your device. :)
[Security Discussion] Lothaen:
I'm with you - that main thread completely lost me - I installed the manager and it errored from twrp and I guess it leads on to something about finding a boot.img to patch - but i'm lost

[Security Discussion] Lothaen:
yeah - i've been through both of those, but mine error during the flash with issue with the boot image, so then I get stuck and have no idea how to fix it or where to go - I tried asking on the Magisk thread but its so chatty I think it got lost very quickly.
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
Thanks a lot IronRoo for your reply !

After reading I have understood that Magisk implies to install a recovery tool like TRWP.

So I have only to unlock the device's bootloader to install a recovery tool and after Magisk. Magisk doesn’t modify system files.

Ok but I don't understand how it's possible the device obtains root access. It's certainly magical ;)
[Security Discussion] vtsnaab:
Most of the time I don't look for the sort of 'tell me like I'm a 5 y/o' info - but Magisk IS an exception for that, for me.

There is very little that I can find which is written in plain, simple words such that I can even figure out -IF- it is usable as I'd like it to be.

My example:

I have an unlocked Moto E6 - can I even get TWRP installed & working in that phone ??

No clue.

Prior to Android V5.x gaining root access was loads easier to accomplish & I've happily done so for my several older LG devices & our previously daily use Kyocera phones.

BUT:

For my couple of devices with versions of Android newer than V5 - I am only able to de-bloat those somewhat via ADB shell - but they are locked to AT&T which would mean I'd have to fulfill their unlocking requirements to get 'em unlocked - or am I mistaken about that ??

The closest I've found to a VERY simplified guide to using Magisk is here:

Root Android Phone with ADB, Magisk & TWRP

Here are 2 different methods to root your Android phone or tablet using ADB and Fastboot commands, Magisk and install TWRP Recovery.

technastic.com

But method 1 is not possible for my devices AFAIK & method 2 requires me to have a stock firmware IMG to patch...but I've zero idea where I might get those for a Moto or a 'modern' LG phone - is there any particularly good way to accomplish that ??

So - as the OP said - please tell me like I'm a 5 year old ?!?

Thanks.

Same problem here. Even with kernel panic disabled.

My current workaround is to reflash the kernel every time the problem surfaces.

And don't suggest that I flash MIUI 8 cos memory management is poor.

Would you please guide me to fix this?
[Remix OS for PC] hamsteyr:
I know that there may be many other guides out there that talk about this subject, but what I found is that they don't really work that well with the latest versions of RemixOS, and I had to do a lot of research and tinkering to get mine working.

With that, I felt that it was helpful for me to share my findings and how I got it working, so I made a video for it.

Hope you guys find it useful.
[Remix OS for PC] tiberian41:
Great video. I'd love to try it but I still can't get Remix to run on my old single core mobile cpu laptop but there is no support for these older cpu's and I've not had any helpful feedback from the Remx team, or any of the forums. It's a shame because the old machine wouid probably run Remix way better than windows, or an old version of Linux.. Dell Inspiron 5150 with Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz. It's not a great machine by todays standards but it bugs me that it's just sitting on the shelf.﻿
[Remix OS for PC] mymeatb18:
Hey thanks for the video, although I still can't get it to boot up on its own. I have a gateway netbook which shouldn't be too far off from the Acer. Everything goes smoothly, everything works, till I reboot. The os doesn't load, I just get a black screen with a blinking underscore on the top left. I have tried everything I know, which is not too much. Any help would be great.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] skinkken:
My phones so far have been some very old Huawei (one of the first ones), Galaxy S3 and Jiayu g4s (since 2014). The current Jiayu has android 4.2.2. I've been thinking of getting a new phone, some flaghip:ish phone around 300-400€, depends on where's the best value. I've rooted my phones so far and used AdAway, Autorun manager (Fun fact: Jiayu g4s can be rooted from settings menu, lol).

I dislike especially one thing about new android phones: Lack of hardware home/back/menu buttons. Many phones have those only on screen taking extra space and even automatically hiding in some apps. Are there still good phones with hardware buttons (touch buttons are fine, I just don't want on-screen buttons) or would I be excessively limiting my options by this? I heard that you can mostly (especially with custom roms) make them stay on screen, which would be passable but still not desirable. Are most apps designed to have the buttons hidden?

What are the benefits of rooting and using custom rom today? Are there much bloatware that would be necessary to remove?

Cameras, GPSs, music features (equalizer): how much do these differ on flaghip phones or are they mostly fine?

Battery: Seems like most of them are non-removable today. How easily can you change it yourself? Is it easier or more difficult than changing a broken screen? (I haven't done it myself but I know someone who has). Also, in my opinion most phones have unnecessarily slim body and small battery when you could easily fit much larger battery with just few mm more thickness. You have better grip with thicker phone anyway. I hear that phones are becoming more efficient, but have they actually improved much? My Galaxy S3 handled about 4-5 hours of screen time while mostly internet browsing, My Jiayu managed whopping 6-8 hours (3000mah battery, 4.7 screen, efficient cortex a7 processor). In 3 years It's gone bad though and I get only about 4 hours. I'd realy want a large removable battery but all you have today seems to be medium non-removable. I want to be able to use the phone for whatever any time not worrying about the battery. Thoughts?

Screen: I'd NOT want a 5.5 inch phone, I'd prefer 5.0-5.2. Again, how bad limiting factor is this?

Also, touch latency bothers me and seems like phones still have a lot regardless of price. Google "lesnumeriques [insert popular phone model]", then ctrl+F "retard tactile". So far my Jiayu has been faster than any phone I've tried, my estimate is 30-50ms. The touch sensivity is a bit bad though, doesn't always register quick taps. Is it perhaps a compromise between good sensivity and low latency or does any phone be good at both?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harermuir:
I didn't manage to find a thread with the same problem as mine (and i fear that phone is plain dead).

A few day ago, i was using my toy and it just shut down with no answer at all. It doesnt charge when plugged, there is no led indicator whatever i make, and power button has no effect, whatever how long i press it. The only way to restart the phone is to remove the battery. Sometimes it crashs during boot with an awful noise which stop only when removing battery. Screen is lite with LG logo.

With no success, i have try :

- replacement of the battery

- a factory reset

- a flash of the firmware (with an other firmware that the one i had installed, both are LG official)

- removing SIM and SDcard.

Phone is not rooted.

No clue on what's going on, and what i can do to solve this, if I can do anything.

Model of the phone is D855 2Gb RAM / 16 Gb Memory
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haget83:
the awful noise comes from the camera, right?

Dose the pc recognize the phoneas bulk or qualcoom 9008?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harermuir:
When phone is jammed, PC doesn't recognize the phone. It detect than something is connected as USB, but doesn't recognize it.

In download mode, it's detected as LGE mobile usb serial port and LGE android MTP device (which cannot start). That is the way i used to flash the firmware. It succeeded (after several try), but doesnt solve my problem.

After sometimes, the download mode crash and i get the qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I havent have any success when trying this : https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853. Everytime ending with a "device was not found in dload trying flash programmer". Seems that if i want to solve that, i will have to connect two pin on the motherboard ... And they are not accessible in the D855 (seems that there's an heatsink that isnt there in other version).

And i think that the awful sound is just the LG starting sound that is looped on a very short time.

[Galaxy S6 General] Manok98:
Hello everyone!

This is my new project for Galaxy S6: a new bootanim!:D

It is a "remake" of the stock GSII bootanim, my old phone. I've created the .qmg files, but also the .zip file for custom ROMs. For now I've tested it only on a stock based rom. I will leave also the stock PowerOn sound of SII. :good: I'm working on the shutdown.qmg file yet.

Instruction for stock based roms:​

-Download the .qmg files from the link;

-Grant the superuser access to your file manager (I suggest Es File Explorer);

-Backup your old bootanimation by cute it to internal storage;

-Copy the downloaded files to >>> /system/media, and set the permissions of these files like in the picture (rw- r-- r--);

-Copy "PowerOn.ogg" to >>> /system/media/audio/ui, and set permissions as in the previous file;

-Reboot & Enjoy!:D

Instructions for custom ROMs:​

This procedure is not very different from the previous one:

-Backup old bootanimation.zip (/system/media/) to your internal storage;

-Copy the new one to the same dir;

-Set the permissions of these file (rw- r-- r--);

-Reboot & Enjoy!

The Files are in the download section!

Press Thanks button if you liked my BA!:cool:

Note:

This operation is not risky, but it is anyway a modding operation. Therefore, I am not responsible for any damages suffered by your device!

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] chandlerp:
Can anyone shed any light on this? I have tried two micro sd cards and a USB drive on my MTCD_KLD.

The cards and USB are all formatted in FAT32. If I go into settings and look for updates it sees an update available on the cards or the usb drive. If I choose to update the system reboots and when it enters recovery mode it does not mount any of the cards or USB device and so will not run the update. Any ideas?

If I boot straight into recovery the same problem, no cards or drive

I'm pretty sure you have use the GPS sd slot for anything with the recovery.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jammy dodger:
To explain i am a newb to this sort of thing and i need some advice after reading horror stories about people trying to change there roms from the original.

I am here because i have been directed here by a work mate who has his o2 handset and i asked him if it would be possible to remove some locked applications from my handset.

So basicly i will bow to the superior knowledge (and grammer:D) of the people here, is there a way (possibly even by modding a orange rom) to remove locked apps from the phone and if so how and where do i get the files to do this and what do i do with them when i have them?

Or if there is another resolution to my main problem please let me know!

The voice speed dialer keeps popping up every 20-30 seconds when i play windows media player. It only does it rarely but it is annoying me and i dont use the application anyway so i could just get rid of it and free up memory on my handset but a resolution to this problem would be just fine.

I will owe a huge favour to anyone who can help me sort this out.

You can try flashing the stock firmware for your model number if it is available to the public. If flashing the firmware doesn't fix it then your device has damaged hardware probably.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bh4714:
Hi, I have an L29 C432B581 on Virgin mobile in the UK. There's a strange issue that intermittently, the phone does not receive incoming calls and sends them straight to voicemail. Outgoing calls are fine, and usually (but not always) in coming calls made after outgoing calls are also fine.

I've checked the call forwarding settings, already done a factory reset, got a new sim from the carrier, but no luck. Tried the sim on a different phone and no such problems.

Its as though the phone goes to sleep for incoming calls and needs to be woken up by reconnecting to the carrier.

Not sure if I'm missing a straightforward setting somewhere or if its a handset issue. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] psawjack:
I'm curious to know if anyone here is going to purchase the U.S. version of the phone and use it on T-Mobile or AT&T. Current pre-order sites are Amazon and Best Buy.

I currently have HTC U11 but have always been a Xperia fan and I'm really liking what Sony is offering in the XZ Premium so on a whim I decided to pre-order the phone. :cool:

I have T-Mobile for service so I'll be trying it out on that. My concerns are no VOLTE and no WIFI calling. I've been testing my LG V20 for the last week with VOLTE and WIFI calling turned off and it hasn't been an issue or bothered me at all so I think that I'm good there. Another thing is that it's missing the software for fingerprint sensor. I can live without the fingerprint sensor so it's really a non-issue to me but I understand that it bothers others.

Let me and others know what you think about it. Have you pre-ordered or will you order it? Would you use it on AT&T or T-Mobile?

Thanks!

UPDATED: So it appears that the phone I pre-ordered from Best Buy has the model# 8142. This is the same model number for the UK phones per the info from https://www.techwalls.com/sony-xperia-xz-premium-g8141-g8142-model-number-differences/. If this is the case then I guess that I am getting the international UK model, just from Best Buy. The phone listed on US Amazon doesn't have a model number so I'll have to say that it's unknown until someone orders it and can update me. Per that website there is a G8141 but I don't know who is selling it in the US.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] gauthamsv:
Hi - I've ordered from Unlocked-mobiles.com (UK). Its ~100$ lesser + Bluetooth speaker ($150 in BestBuy) not to forget the Sony international warranty. Also you don't need to flash anything since the FP scanner works out of the box. I am using with Tmobile and haven't noticed any issues so far. Several in the US have got it from UK as per the other threads in this forum
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] psawjack:
Thanks for the input. I guess that a big deal for many is the cost difference between a UK version and a US version and that alone may drive them to opt for the UK version. It's too bad that I'm not too keen on purchasing a phone from UK and bringing to US. I'd rather purchase the US version from Best Buy and include the accidental damage plan to have that extra coverage as well. As a note I haven't owned a Sony phone since the Z3 from T Mobile and believe me I'm pissed that T-Mobile hasn't had a Sony phone since.

If the phones are identical (I think that's the case) then I could flash the UK firmware onto it and use as normal until (if) a warranty claim is needed then I can flash US firmware and off it goes. :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] hypershark:
I'm interested in purchasing this phone at Best Buy as well and using it on the T-Mobile network. For those that have purchased and on T-Mobile, does the Wi-Fi Calling feature work? I love that it has dual sim capability for when I travel abroad, but I do use Wi-Fi calling just as much. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] psawjack:
The unfortunate answer to that question is a definitive NO. Something about the fact that Sony doesn't have the device certified by T Mobile is what I heard. Same goes for the VoLTE.

I still use it on TMO though.
