[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Angelictears:
Starting from 14.4, yes it is possible to install magisk without twrp. BUT you'll still need a computer and a stock boot.img at hand. Magisk manager app will patch the boot.img and put the patched img inside the magisk manager folder. You'll then need to copy the patched img and flash it to your boot partition (boot_a or boot_b depending on your active slot).

Note that 14 oct boot image from the factory image is incompatible with 30oct updated system, you'll lose wifi.

After flashing, you'll have root and magisk set up.

Instructions are basically the same as the pixel 2,but change your fastboot command to flash boot_a or boot_b.

Hello, I upgraded from an LG G4 a few weeks ago and with my G4 when used my LG Tones headphones it would show the battery level next to the Bluetooth icon in the status. Is there a way I bring that back for my S8 with LG headphones or are any non Samsung headphones that will allow this.

Don't you have already a 8.1.2 fiber OS rom?

Why do you need source code?

You have started a fake rom thread in the past days. Why we should listen to you?
[UMi Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] j4m35_d4ng3r:
what's your problem because I have not yet uploaded Fiber OS .... first is a mod on lineage 14.1 and unofficial I'll upload it when I'm done
[UMi Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] javier.pc:
Our problem with you is that we don't believe you, because you seem to be an ignorant or an unconscious. You can't say that you have a ROM if you don't have it, and you don't have it because you can't have it, because to develop the ROM you need the Mediatek source code, which is not available.

So, can you explain what are you doing and how?

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] miz_pimp:
Why am I unable to uninstall the Facebook App Installer, and why is it even installed as a system app in the first place? I have uninstalled the Facebook app, as well as the Facebook App Manager, but there's no way to uninstall the Installer.

My firmware is C02B132, and as far as I remember, I didn't have it in B120, and I certainly don't recall it being there until recently. I also checked on the P9 Lite, and it doesn't have that installed.

It was installed out the box for me, I just disable it. You will have to root to be able to uninstall.

I have already disabled it, but I don't recall it being installed before, so it could have been installed with B132.

I don't see why this can't be uninstalled, since the main Facebook app can be uninstalled. ?

[Android Apps and Games] Klimaszewski:
Hi there!

The story behind this project is that I have several apps with 16 languages natively supported each. I got them from user's community, what is really cool, however each update with new string is a pain in the ass, because I had to get in touch with various users, who previously helped me with translation. At the end I ended up with Google Translate produced translations, which in general are good enough. Sorry for this prolonged entry!

I made similar solution Google Chrome offers currently if a page is not in your language. I ask user if he want's to use translation of the app (most of the do) or use english if they are fine with that.

I'm using this solution in all of my apps with great success and today I'm releasing it to you!

Why great success? It turned out that after implementing stringX sdk, user engagement with translated version became as high as for users with natively supported language.

High session time = more money from ads + more money from in-app purchases

I even started to observe purchases from countries, never observed before!

All the details are on the site I've prepared. It's on the early stage, so I''m looking forward to your opinion, what more information would be useful for you. Also soon I will add use cases with details, how stringX helped my apps.

Visit page here: https://www.stringx.io/

I'm looking forward to your thoughts!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clinto69:
Guys, this is really doing my head in. I downloaded Playlist Shortcuts for Spotify and I can create a shortcut to a Spotify Playlist on my regular homescreen (HTC Mate M9). However this phone is installed in my car and I run Automate Car Launcher.

Ive downloaded a bunch of different floating side bars and apps like Assistive Android/Touch Pro etc but there seems no way to add this kind of shortcut to them.

On my S7 Edge, using Edge TaskBar, you can add a homescreen short cut. But for the life I've me I can find nothing in the playstore that enables you to add a homescreen shortcut to it.

Is there any sneaky way to add a homescreen shortcut into the standard shortcut list in Android?

Or can I use Tasker to somehow make this shortcut look like an App?

Hope someone can help.

On my old 8525 I had a small application that mapped to a hardware key that would turn of the screen only. I used this specificaly for TomTom 6 so that screen could be turned off to save battery for longer routes. I am trying to find a similar application that will work on the 8925.

Previously, I had Spb Pocket Plus, which had that feature, but I don't intend to install that yet. Is there anything else that will actually work? I tried PxshutXP and it doesn't turn the screen off when TT6 is running.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djc26:
It started when some scumbag stole my bag which contained my old phone (s5) and wallet etc

My phone had a dodgy battery, smashed screen and inactive sim.

I only had it with me as it still connected to wifi so was a back up if I needed internet.

I'm particularly worried that I had screenshot of bank statements and various other sensitive documents as well as passwords for email etc stored in my notes.

I had a fingerprint lock screen set up as well as a password on private mode (I'm pretty sure I stored some passwords etc in private but not all)

As soon as i realised I called my network and had it blacklisted I then tried to do a remote wipe via device manager but although it showed the handset on the account there wasn't a remote wipe function.

I then changed my passwords for everything I remember having including my Google device manager account.

Unfortunately there was videos/photos of my kids that weren't back up which breaks my heart:crying:

So my main questions are.......

What is the most likely thing a criminal would do with the phone?

Factory reset then sell abroad? Change imei number?

How difficult would it be to hack into the phone to get my data?

Would all of that be too much effort considering the value of the model?

Finally is there any way samsung can wipe the phone for me?

Thanks so much for any help

much love
[General Questions and Answers] KGMARSCH:
A little background first:

I have a product that is a combination of a physical tablet with my own software pre-installed on it. The software runs in a full kiosk mode keeping the OS hidden from the user. This is what the customer expects, it's what they are paying for - they do not expect any part of the OS to be presented to them at any time. It is all supposed to be managed by my software.

The tablet manufacturer has recently sent me their latest ROM, which is for Android 6.0.

Due to some changes in 6.0 a key area of my software no longer works - a simple form that presents the user with a Wi-Fi selector and a password box. My software can no longer access the list of available Wi-Fi networks unless location services are enabled (bad design!). I am led to believe that this is fixed in 6.0.1, however, the tablet manufacturer doesn't have this update.

Until the manufacturer can provide me with a newer OS ROM, I need for Location Services to be enabled when the tablet is first booted, preferably in battery saving mode.

So my question is:

Is there anything in the ROM (build.prop, projectconfig.mk, anything) that I can change so that the tablet boots up with Location Services already enabled, in battery saving mode.

I have already added ro.com.google.locationfeatures=1 and ro.com.google.networklocation=1 to build.prop but that doesn't appear to have made any difference.

Bear in mind that the user should not have to grant any permission or go into the OS at any point - this would completely destroy the user experience, so please take it as read that I understand that it isn't best practice to enable Location Services without the customer knowing.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Man...

I really like this phone... It hit all the sweet spots for me as a device... And I'm in love with the battery life...

But to see [MENTION=2633294]DHO[/MENTION] blast Essential like this...

I have seen on other posts that the Essential team reads XDA... And I can only hope that seeing a respected developer complain in such an articulate way has some gravity with them to possibly step up their game...

The hardware (for me on AT&T) has been superb... And I have few if any complaints... But maybe it has to do with the CDMA portion of the device which I will never have to deal with

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] houstonironman:
DHO, sorry to hear you are having issues. I am a Verizon user in Houston. When I first got my PH-1, I couldn't get Verizon to stay connected. Constant drops, like non-stop and unusable.. I was ready to send it back. It was incredibly frustrating. Then I read a post here about resetting radio setting. I changed to Europe, then changed back to US. I set to LTE/CMDA, in the ping/radio section and also on the user network setting.. Who knows what else I changed and changed back. I was trying anything and everything I could. I am definitely a user, not a cellular techie. But Verizon started staying connected, even showing LTE+ most of the time.

Good luck. Maybe you have a defective phone? Seems you obviously know all about troubleshooting and have tried everything. If you can get it working on Verizon, I am confident you will like the PH-1.

Still issues with Verizon WiFi calling, Verizon voicemail and Verizon visual voicemail. But for me, I can live without the WiFi calling and have workaround for vm.

Frustrating situation, no doubt. All the best.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stinger4321:
I second the defective phone scenario.. from my reading these forms the first batches with the foam earpiece had numerous issues. Lots of posts about connectivity issues that were resolved by replacement phones
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DHO:
I was surprised, in my circle of devs. I am the only one to purchase the PH-1. Based on my feedback I know it has prevented a few people who were on the fence.

I'm sure once more source becomes available this phone will pick up support. It has TWRP before the Pixel2. And invisiblek is as good as it gets for device bring up. So there is hope :p

Thanks

I have tried this. I have noticed some VERY interesting bugs in the USA band that are causing some sort of error resulting in the deactivation of the data. I wish I could grab a logcat (need SU). If their support was more .... receptive ... I would gladly report how to replicate RIL failures that result in complete deactivation of the radios. Unfortunately this is not the underplaying cause of my issue :/

Yea, I am hoping they will do the right thing and replace it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
I am surprised to hear you have not rooted yet with it being available.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bill3508:
Sure you probably tried already but take the sim out and factory reset. Put sim in and factory reset again. Make no other changes unless your trying to get volte to work. Info based on an already active Verizon sim account.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
The support reps for some reason go by their tech cheat sheet all the time, instead of reading email fully and understanding that they are communicating to a tech savvy person. I had that before with other OEMs, where they would make go through troubleshooting which were already done previously. Another thing would be if support team knows that this is an average user who doesn't really play nice with technology, then yes, going through troubleshooting steps would be logical.

So, I am planning to buy this phone soon, do users on T-Mobile network have any cell/data issues?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblek:
[MENTION=2633294]DHO[/MENTION] I assume you've tried the latest stock build? I assume they had to push something once it was Verizon certified. Mine, along with a couple other devs I work with, are working just fine on Verizon.

T-Mobile

I'm on T-Mobile here in Los Angeles with no problems whatsoever compared to my previous S8+ and HTC U11 devices. I know others have reported reception issues on T-Mobile, but I personally am perfectly happy on T-Mobile here.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Desterly:
I agree with this statement.

I'm on Verizon and I've had decent speeds.

I've been averaging between 35 - 45 Mb/s down and 7-10 up.

The lowest I've had it drop is 25 down and 2 up.

I can't say i've had any drop out issues either.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DHO:
I don't want to give them a reason to say I voided the warranty. If they want proper logs, I would be happy to supply.

Yep tried everything. The Data speeds are insufficient to support voLTE. Even with the LTE+ icon I get 1G speeds,.. a few decibites a second. LOL

Both Verizon and T-mobile has identical issues for me.

I know their support is check list based. So I walked them through each step I tried..... around the 6th follow up email I eve wrote out a numbered list because they had circled back to asking the same questions they had previously.

Yes. I have tried on each release, including the one pushed over the last week. I have also tried a T-Mobile sim card and no difference than Verizon.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] foopy:
I know this phone is now "Certified" by Verizon but that is somewhat misleading. Because it is not an actual Verizon phone they block it from supporting WiFi calling and Visual Voicemail. You cannot even download and install Verizon's Visual Voicemail app from the Play store and built in Visual Voicemail in the Google Dialer does not work on Verizon. Also while a Verizon SIM is installed in the phone WiFi calling options completely disappear from settings. I think there is one person who said those two features are working for him but for the vast majority of us it does not work. I'm with DHO 100%. With the very poor customer support and the phone not functioning as well as most other phones there are far better options out there. I had connectivity issues with T-Mobile so bad I switched to Verizon and then found out the hard way they don't support those features on this phone. I ended up taking advantage of Verizon's 50% off the Pixel 2 XL with certain trade ins and ordered a Pixel 2 XL to use. I've ended up with a $700 Essential phone I cannot use. So I agree with DHO........BUYER BEWARE
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
That sounds more like Verizon douche baggery at work, more so than a problem with Essential's support.

Verizon is the one that decides who gets those features, not the phone manufacturer...
