Does this still work for January update?

Im getting Mi A1 tomorrow for my father

Want easy way to root, enable cameraapi2 , use OTA without loss of data
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DeV91:
the easiest way to keep ota and still be able to update via ota is by simply having only magisk installed. in magisk you can activate modules for camera2 api, eis etc.

when updating just read up on the magisk tips -> OTA installation (on github, google) for A/B partiton (pixel devices):

1. uninstall magisk via manager (this restores boot image, deactivates modules) so you are able to take OTA.

2. install OTA the usual way, when step 2 is shown in OTA process, simply head to magisk manager again and press install and select "Install to second slot"

the only time this does not work is when updating to a major android update (O -> P), but then you just dont have to patch the boot image after u took the OTA and wait for either a patched image or create one yourself with magisk manager and flash with twrp
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kkn14:
This helps wonders !! Thanks alot, I saw alot of conflicting info before this

So I can use this- https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654 for latest January patch? The same boot.img I mean?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DeV91:
i didnt read the whole thread, but i didnt find a january oreo boot image there.

only flash a patched boot.img that is from the current build you are on.

anyway, you could try to simply boot the patched boot.img with fastboot:

fastboot boot patched_boot.img

while this may boot the system without problems, things like not being able to activate wlan could happen. because this boot image was for a different build.

however, as long as it boots the patched image, you could then simply go to magisk manager and press install direct (recommended method) - this way it will patch your stock boot image, modfying your partition directly. remember: you only "booted" the patched boot image before with the "fastboot boot" method, this will only "load" the boot.img in to memory, and will not modify your actual partition.

another way would be to just boot into twrp revovery and flash the newest magisk on your own. i'd recommend this method as you will not risk in flashing a wrong boot.img from a different build version

fastboot boot recovery.img

as long as you just boot stuff, this will only be loaded into RAM, which is a volatile memory and will be lost on a reboot - hence not modifing partitons and maintaining the possibility of taking OTAs.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] goatxxmastr:
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.

Thanks,

Goat

OTG Issues

Hi,

I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.

And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] psawjack:
Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mattmc1228:
Thanks for the info.

Do I need to change anything in the settings?

Or is it basically plug and play?

.

This adapter saved me and my old sandisk flash drive back talking again.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] psawjack:
It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] KamaL:
I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.

Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.

Spectrum works well.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] spotmark:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mrcooter:
One word of advice, remember substratum is in legacy mode for us for now. If you were updating to new OS version, remember to remove all the overlays first. I forgot about this and had to wipe to get it to boot after updating, but other than that user error, everything seems to work just fine with all the themes I tried.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
I am new to substratum and am trying it on unrooted Oreo. I am using Spectrum and I can't figure out how to fix the notifications, they are unreadable, white text on a light grey background. I even tried disabling the Spectrum settings and that doesn't seem to work.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nrage23:
After applying the theme. Reboot and your notifications should be the color you chose. This works for me at least.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Thanks. I saw that some of the settings changed immediately without rebooting, I didn't realize you had to reboot to get the full effect.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] commandercup:
I hard reset my phone because it became cluttered with crap... and now its been running great off the stock rom with all my favorite programs and such, but I cannot get a stable wifi connection? My home connection was working fine before the reset, and I never used any network management software besides what was stock on the phone...

I do use WEP protection with a simple 10 digit password to access the network, but it works fine wirelessly on my pc, laptop and my psp

Any ideas? If i can get a connection (sitting next to the Wireless Router) it lasts for maybe 10 seconds before disconnecting and can't be found for 10 or so more minutes
[Mogul, XV6800 General] pezx44:
Sorry, no answer for you, but on the topic of WiFi woes...

Is there a way to get a network to stay on the list permanently. I connect to about 5 different networks throughout the day and by the end of the day, my home network is no longer on the list and I have to manually add it again. Kind of annoying since I have to do it every day.

How to get Easy Chart work on Note 8??.. View attachment 4322541
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
[note 8 = easy chart/idea sketch solved

I solved just this moment. First you want to uninstall EASY CHART AND IDEA SKETCH IN SETTINGS>APPS...

Next you want to head over to apkmirror and download the latest versions of both those apps.

DO NOT INSTALL THEM YET OR YOU WILL MESS THE WHOLE PROCESS UP AND HAVE TO START OVER...

IN BOTH THE PLAY STORE AND SAMSUNG APPS.. TURN OFF AUTO UPDATE APPS. THIS IS A MUST SINCE YOU WILL NOT BE UPDATING SNOTE EVER AGAIN . ?

Make sure you have S-note version 5.2.04.25 because it's the version I'm using with Easy Chart and Idea Sketch and also got Action Memo working (no overlap or freezing but no double tap launching either). Uninstall any other version of Snote and install the above version from apkmirror. If your Samsung cloud account is running all your notes and stuff will return. Do an account back up in settings anyway.

From the Play store download APK Editor Free version and install just THIS APK FROM PLAYSTORE and from this link below download APK Editor Pro (paid version) for Free But DO NOT INSTALL. JUST DOWNLOAD.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...DApsQFgg9MAg&usg=AOvVaw3Y7Lp5lAlGG6jNmq-HPyfa

Next.. head over to apkmirror and download the latest versions of Easy Chart 1.5.10 and Idea Sketch 1.5.11. Both were headed to target Nougat 7.0. After download REMEMBER DON'T INSTALL THESE TWO APPS. Apk editors will handle that.

Now.... that everything is ONLY DOWNLOADED EXCEPT APK EDITOR FREE VERSION SHOULD BE THE ONLY APP INSTALLED,

install S-note version 5.2.04.2,

install the expansion pack if you don't already have it installed. ( Head over to Apkmirror if needed)

Open APK EDITOR FREE...... NOW CLOSE IT .

Install APK EDITOR PRO...

SELECT apk file (very first button)

Go to where apk Easy Chart 1.5.10 was downloaded click it

A menu pops up... select FULL EDIT

At the bottom press the Manifest icon (looks like a greyed out Microsoft logo)

Now you will see the THIRD LINE ...SDK Version = "21" android:targetS.......CLICK THIS LINE

NOW... in the top box change that number to "24" and the bottom number to "25". You will this change of the MIN and TARGET numbers the same if you're doing Idea Sketch after you complete this. Do it the exact same way.

Click SAVE

In the upper right corner toy will see BUILD... PRESS IT

It's rebuilding that Easy Chart Apk to meet the systems v verified API25 android 7.0 platform.

You get a big green check... PRESS INSTALL

Then press done...

Open S-Note ... create new note... insert.... the Easy Chart icon is there.. PRESS IT and boom... select the you're options to start your charts..

Repeat this method for Idea Sketch. Enjoy

Also Action Memo Short cut from the Playstore works better with S-note version 5.2.04.2 with full functioning link to action icons. Enjoy

disabled samsung and googleplay updates,

intalled (but not open) s note, than s note widget,

modified the sdk numbers using apk editot pro for the rest of the files and instaled them,

run the s note, did not allow to apply,

created a note,

tried to add a chart,

selected one of the chart styles,

s note crashed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Weird. I don't seem to see how it keeps crashing on you. I'm double checking my method how I did it now.

One possible explanation is you might be still using apkmirror link from the First method. My apologies is so.

Use the second method: NOT Apkmirror.com and then look for download in the menu...this is the Wrong method.

All apps dealing with this: (1) Force stop, (2) clear cache, (3) clear data and (4) uninstall.

Easy Chart

S-note

S-note Expansion pack

Idea Sketch

S-note Widget

Photo Note

Scrapbook

Use this link: www.apkmirrordownload.com and use second method.

Since everyone seems to have nearly the same problem, and Android upgraded the Note 8 to 7.1.1, try changing the sdk min to 24 or 25 and the SDK target to 26 in S note.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ballfire:
ok happy to report that i managed to get easy chart and photo note working !

where i went wrong was with apk editor pro because instructions weren't entirely clear.

when you run apk editor pro, click the file that needs editing, common edit , edit the min sdk to 24 and target to 25, click save.

what i didnt know was that it saved the modified apk to the apkeditor/tmp folder and was renamed by the app to gen_signed.apk !! by doing each file it was just overwriting the gen_signed.apk file not renaming them nor was it changing the original apk file.

so after each edit , you have to rename the gen_signed.apk file to the eg the applicable file name that you have edited eg extension pack.apk , photo note.apk or easy chart.apk

as mentioned neither s note.apk nor the s note widget needed editing .

after that, installing s note , installing the edited and renamed apks eg extension pack , photo note, easy chart , it works fine !

on running s note it asks to update, say cancel, then it proceeded to sync all my s notes even though i hadnt gone into settings and asked it to sync.

well done guys :good:

I believe I got all of it working. However, I have one question in regards to Photo Note. I know at one point you could use it with pictures in your gallery. It looks like this version can only be used with pictures you take with Photo Note open. If someone figured a way to convert to edit on a picture in your gallery I would greatly appreciate some help on how to accomplish this. If I am correct and this version doesn’t allow for that, please let me know. Thanks for all your help with this. It’s been frustrating for me to get this working, but I’m very happy that I got it going.
