Common fixes for common problems

captchas

An issue I've been hearing about recently is captchas won't load on certain sites. 4chan being the primary problem, but any site using disqus have also had a couple issues with the captcha mechanism.

If your captcha won't load, switch to desktop mode on your preferred browser. If that doesn't work, wipe cache. Not data.

installing Magisk

A couple users may hit a wall on both of xtremelora's roms where you cannot modify the boot partition while installing magisk. It's a completely normal problem and no, youre not screwed out of that mod managing love.

For this you're gonna need:

an unmodified boot partition or a boot backup: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6lnq6cymzhzyu2/boot.img?dl=0

the latest magisk found here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589

Magisk init.d enabler: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-init-d-universal-init-d-t3579305

The no-dmverity package found in the rom flashing section.

a little patience.

Starting off, reboot into recovery with your preferred method. (terminal, adb, hard button) We're gonna do this as a dirty flash to avoid the heartbreaking rebuild of lost data. Now, start off by flashing your rom of choice (will be updated if need be for new roms), once finished you can navigate to where ever the boot.img was saved to. On the bottom of your screen, you should see a tab saying Install image click it and all your files (minus folders and any image files) will vanish.

Now boot.img should be visible. Click that and you'll be directed to a new screen asking where you want to flash the img to. Select boot and click on flash, swipe when it asks if you're sure. (You're sure) Finish this off by flashing no-dmverity.

Now that your system has been hooked up right, the next step would be installing magisk itself. Just click and flash since there's nothing that interesting here. Once magisk is installed, finish it off by installing the Magisk init.d package. (this will allow you to use init without having to move certain files to Post.fs, which means different mods like feradroid and KITANA mod can be used systemlessly)

Finishing up, youre gonna want to remove all instances of supersu since it's installed by default. (titanium backup can do that for you)

Congrats, you now have a fully functioning magisk on your device and dont have to worry about incompatibility. :D

Lineage is slowing down

A small issue I've noticed with lineage room over the last few months are abrupt slowdowns involving the entropy pool availability. This is a relatively simple fix.

Download any kernel manager (I'm currently using device manager) enter the app and look for the section either pertaining to the kernel itself or to the entropy pool. You'll notice that the availability is pretty low in regards to how fast it is being used. Just change the availability up to 1024 and save it.

Bam, massive speed up for everything.

(You may have to reset the settings once you restart since the kernel resets too)

I think I messed up, wat do

There's a plethora of issues one can run into during their time using an Android device. Some being easier than other to figure out and resolve. This little section is gonna cover problems that'll arise with the Aristo

So you deleted your boot animation

This one is an easier fix.

Just drop this Zip file into the media folder on /system
