[General Questions and Answers] MajorFoley:
So right now im currently using 2 old and very old android phones, an lgp690-f for my phone calls and texts and a samsung s3 which i have been messing around with. When i got a new pre-paid deal it was time to move to a new phone but im waiting on the Nokia 7 so i got a temporary phone in the Moto G5 until it is out. When i boot up the MotoG5 it asks if i would like to transfer from another phone but i have no idea what it transfers. So i have a couple of problems here

1. is that i have no idea on moving transfering between phones. I would like to get my phone call log, numbers and texts from it.

2. I actually did use the samsung note/calendar and i would also like to transfer those to the moto G5 as well.

3. I know in the later Android versions they removed that old internet browser and moved to chrome but i would also like to be able to use that with the Moto G5 because it has my bookmarks and history on it.

These are the main problems i want to overcome before asking on some of the smaller stuff

If anyone has any ideas here it would be really appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] Char_G:
It's not going to erase anything from the old phone so I would just transfer and see what you get. I doubt very much that you'll be able to use stock apps from the old phones on the new one.
[General Questions and Answers] MajorFoley:
Right... Would there be any way to be able to transfer those apps though?
[General Questions and Answers] Char_G:
Samsung apps are not going to work on a non Samsung device, and even if you could, an old out of date browser is a pretty big security risk.
[General Questions and Answers] MajorFoley:
Well would there be any way to bookmark them over to chrome in bulk? Manually would seem pretty tedious. That kind of brings up another thing when i first used the older browser it found a bunch of links etc already when i typed in url bar, did it used to get things from like your pc version of chrome?
[General Questions and Answers] Char_G:
Really not sure tbh, I've used chrome beta on both my PC and my phones for years so I've never had to think about things being synced, they just were. Not sure about the bookmarks either, for the same reason.
[General Questions and Answers] MajorFoley:
Sorry i havent responded in forever, its been a long 4 months.

Damn... Might have to try and look elsewhere then.

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tommylee567:
Good to see this cause I was thinking it will reach around January. It's right on time then. Only need the full zip file for flashing and rooting in case
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gauravrai:
There are some reports on twitter. One user reported he got Oreo update. Initially I thought it can be part of beta testing but he was not registered in MFN. Let's see when the update hitting on our device. I still believe that it is beta testing and full roll-out will begin Jan last week. So don't get much hope.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] vivek638:
Moto is not giving beta testing as of the Android one also got it directly.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] mujju85:
Yes you are right only he got the update how it's possible ?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gauravrai:
Moto x4 android one Oreo has been went thru beta testing

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

It can be possible in one condition. i.e. he may accidentally got oreo update out of beta testers group. So he leaked update information coz those in mfn testing grp are morally bound not to disclose beta testing
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] vivek638:
Maybe it's true. Then why all Indian sites are posting on their sites that moto x4 is getting update.. And also u can be true bcz that Twitter pic is the only source for every sites... Let's hope we get it up to 31st dec

[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers] m3w3:
With the recent EMUI 8.0 just released, I'm looking for ways to upgrade my phone (LON-AL00 version). The problem is that my phone uses TWRP custom recovery and it's incompatible with OTA updates. I'll most likely replace TWRP with the stock recovery then update it, but before I do, I'd like to know if there are any custom ROMs that have similar features to the EMUI 8.0 just released. I'm basically forced to choose between the official updates or a custom ROM that the community maintains/updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ferbee:
I'm sure if I dig into the forums I will be able to find the answers I'm looking for buuut, I have a Exynox Note 8 SM-N950F, is there a way to root it with safety net not tripped and Knox not tripped?

I couldn't really care for Knox, but it gets rid of s-health and that's what I want

Thank You ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CCJ22:
I'd like to know which note 8 version to buy if I wish to root, rom, and unlock bootloader. Free bump OP cause I think we can both help each other get our answers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
There is no way to root without tripping Knox, but there is a patch to bring s health back after rooting
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Exynos is best for all that, since bootloader is unlocked and roms are being developed. Lots of reading still for you...particularly the OEM unlock thread ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Raigar:
Until today there's no way of rooting without tripping the Knox
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CCJ22:
Is there a patch to bring Samsung pay back?

O wow, so avoid the snapdragon version. I learned something new. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
No patch to bring back Samsung Pay after tripping Knox as far as I know.

Yes if you want custom roms then Exynos is the best bet because of the unlocked bootloader. There are some exceptions with Snapdragon that also have unlocked bootloader, but most don't so they don't have as much development attention as Exynos. Unfortunately some Exynos have OEM Unlock issues which throw a bit of a wrench into things for some. Check out the OEM Unlock thread for details on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CCJ22:
What a nightmare. I just read it. Typical Samsung fashion.

Sounds like SM-N950N is the only safe version where unlocked bootloader sticks and not thrown back in jail.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] GrumpyKK:
I purchased a Nokia 6 recently and noticed it doesn't support Korean. The default language is English but I need Korean keyboard for messaging or searching. Can anyone guide me how to add an unsupported language to the keyboard?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] crystal_ball:
Google has a separate keyboard for Korean - you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.korean

Actually, the you can even switch the interface to Korean as well, but it requires a bit of command-line knowledge. My Nokia 6 is in Korean now:
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Lukevanrich:
could you explain how you changed the language with a bit of command line knowledge? much appreciated!!!
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] crystal_ball:
No problem. First, you need to download an app to change your language. There are lots of them on the Play Store - the one I use is MoreLocale: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale

Since normal apps are not allowed to change language on Android, you have to grant them a special permission.

First, enable USB debugging on your phone. Assuming you're on Oreo, go to Settings > System > Phone information and quickly tap on Build number until a message that says "Congratulations, you are now a developer" appears. Then go to Settings > System > Developer options and turn on USB debugging.

Second, install ADB on your computer by following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

Next, connect your phone with your computer. Open a command prompt window from where you installed ADB, then type this command: adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

Finally, open the app and tap on your preferred language. If it's not in the list, tap the three-dot button and choose Add locale.

This change sticks even after reboots and updates so you can delete the app. However, don't delete the added language from the language list in Settings or you'll have to add it again.

Essential has updated their page with more accessories, including essential earphones HD and Mini.
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
I'm more interested in the charging dock. BT audio sounds quite good with my JaybirdJaybird X3.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Charkatak:
Right, charging dock would be interesting. Waiting on it as well.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Zargone:
Could not find this on their website
[Essential Phone Accessories] Charkatak:
They took it down after few hours. Could be that Essential was testing how these accessories would look like on the page or was too early.
[Essential Phone Accessories] rlaw:
Same. I already have a set of bt cans I'm happy with, I'm waiting for the wireless charging dock and official Oreo drop.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Spey:
Agree on both;

1) More interested in Essential Charging Dock.

2) BT audio sound good on Jaybird x3 (especially after bumping up the bass a little).

When I read "mini" I got excited ... thinking Essential Phone Mini (smaller, more pocket/single-hand version of PH-1).
[Essential Phone Accessories] roebling:
EZ Wireless charging?

If the camera dock pins simply access power, seems EZ to print foil wireless charging antenna on thin magnetic back & slap, connecting w/ diode to camera power pins. Building all into a case may be even EZrrr...

Had wireless charging on an LG Watch--fast & reliable--definitely is the future!

good. I accidentally ran over my 3.5mm adapter, it's not working anymore.
[Essential Phone Accessories] qnc:
I would like till try the charging dock and the wired mini head phones. The Mpow Bluetooth headphones I have some time vet in the way.
[Essential Phone Accessories] avd:
The adapter is definitely a win. But do you trust essential with headphones?
[Essential Phone Accessories] qnc:
I would give them a shot . If they buiild them like they did my ph-1 then I think they would be ok

Àny way around

Hi did you find a workaround for that. I would like to buy a mobiwire sakari. Something I maybe would try is to rename other apks to e.g. "whatsapp_4.5.6..." I'm not sure if this phone supports what's app updates?
[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
How did you enable USB debugging? I have noticed that when I install WhatsApp.apk, it will install, but not when I rename other apps the same. Have you had any luck?
[General Questions and Answers] ryansza:
I got one of these phones today, after installing whatsapp and facebook light I suspect the apk files are signed for the device as the apps are not installed using the play store but rather a direct link on the phone. If anyone figures out how to instal other apk files please share. it would be great to get google calendar installed!
[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
I asked MobiWire if they could help/allow us to install other apps, but their reply made it seem like either their customer services didn't know, or they didn't want to help:

"Unfortunately, it is not possible to install apps on Sakari, since it’s not an Android phone.

However, Sakari is sold with 2 preinstalled apps: Whatsapp and Facebook."
[General Questions and Answers] 1337phillip:
How did you enable USB debugging
[General Questions and Answers] lodzie:
Reply to 1337philip

Go to Settings > About phone > Spam the middle button on Build number > it will then say You are 5... 4.... etc steps away from being a developer, keep pressing it until it says You are now a developer! > Press the return button and you should see Developer Options on the settings page, open Developer Options. > Enable developer options with the toggle switch on the top > Scroll down till you find USB debugging > click the check box and click OK.

There ya go, mate! :)

(btw this is my first forum post ever lol)

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

Hey mate, heres how I got whatsapp on my Vodafone NZ Mobiwire Sakari:

Download the apk of WhatsApp from somewhere (just google 'whatsapp apk', sorry mate, im not allowed to post links yet XD)

Enable USB debugging on the phone (look at the reply I left to 1337philip down below to see how)

Copy the downloaded apk to the phone (internal storage or sd card, anyone you choose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Go to file manager on the phone and go to the location where you saved the apk and click it and follow the install process

When done click 'Open' and walla!

WhatsApp on your phone! (it should also be on the home screen)

Glad to be a help, mate :)

Thanks!

Important update

My birthday is on March 31st... So pretty recent... And that's when my mum bought me this phone. (Btw I'm 12 soooooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (yeeee ik, big ****ing shocker there XD)) I have been fixing phones and PC's as a job to earn a bit more money for my fursuit (yes, I am a furry XD). And as soon as I found out this thing ran Android... I ****ing flipped. So I am self assuming power of the Mobiwire Sakari modding community >:).

You didn't come here to hear me rambling on about my life and ****.

I got into the boot menu :D

So what I am going to do is buy ANOTHER Sakari (just incase I need my own one up XD) and install a Jellybean ROM and see if I can run other apk's other then WhatsApp. So yeeeee :) Thanks for listening to my long and boring speech. Bye!

(Oh btw, I'm starting a mobiwire modding discord server, I'll share the invite later! (This just shows how little **** i have to do in my life, I'm 12 I don't have a full-time job, what do you expect?)

Cya!

My build number is Vodafone_Sakari_SKU2_A_V04_170712_MP and pressing the centre button, within the left, right, up, down navigation ring multiple times has no effect on enabling developer mode. I tried long pressing the button too with no luck.

I look forward to any information on what I've been doing wrong.

Fix

Bruv, goto Settings, About Phone and spam a bunch of times (i think it was 7) on the build number (eg. Vodafone_Sakari_SKU3_L_V06_170719_MP).

There ye go man! Pretty simple.

Yeee, you are right, 80 megs isn't enough to do anything.... I just bought a Toshiba 8GB Micro-SD card from Noel Leeming for like NZD$16 lol.

And yes... I will attempt to make an auto-correct XD

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Ok, goto About Phone and follow my previous steps yadayadayada...

Hover over Build number and click it about 7 times... Pretty easy... or it could be incompatibility... My phone is a Vodafone_Sakari_SKU3_L_V04_170519_MP so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

But if you do want more help if that dosent work then you can talk about it to me at the Mobiwire Modding Discord server! https://discord.gg/KVZhWQb

It sounds like my build number doesn't allow developer mode. I've pressed it 100 times with no luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Yasinshc:
Hi there. How far did you get with app installation on the sakari? I have WhatsApp and Facebook. Ideally would like maybe a document editor and reader and some other functional stuff. Not gaming. I want this as a no nonsense workhorse. Keep posting. By the way I couldn't spam the middle button. It does nothing when I follow that step
[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
I finally found a device which can enable developer mode. It's build number Vodafone_Sakari_SKU3_L_V04_170519_MP (it took for tries to find it) . I'm assuming that the 1707** builds won't allow it, but the 1705** builds will. Not sure why - but I couldn't get my 170719 phone to get into developer mode, no matter what I did.
[General Questions and Answers] ryansza:
Great, well there's a start!

What are the chances of flashing the 1707** phones to a 1705** firmware?

Thanks for the info!
[General Questions and Answers] Yasinshc:
Any progress on mobiwire mods yet?

Any progress on installing other apps?
[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
First we'd need to extract the firmware somehow, and then need a software capable of flashing it. I'm no developer, so I won't be any help with this sorry. For $20, you might be better off trying to buy a 1705** phone.
[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
Just placing this here for my own purposes. I'm not a developer, and have limited knowledge in this area. This somehow worked for me.

Please note, try at your own risk, support developers, and I am not responsible for anything which may occur. If you brick your device, it is your responsibility. There is no way to restore/reinstall the official firmware that I'm aware of. Please also note, before I succeeded at this, I also typed many other lines into the command prompt, such as 'adb root' without knowing if the extra lines had an extra effect. This hasn't worked for anyone else yet that I know. I DON'T COMPLETELY KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! Remember, due to the nature of the device, don't expect any apps to actually work.

There may be device drivers required to be installed. I have installed so many phone drivers onto my laptop in the past, that there was a driver installed on my device that worked with this phone, which allowed kingoroot to be able to connect to the device (maybe?).

I managed to get a couple of apps installed doing the following with build number Vodafone_Sakari_SKU3_L_V04_170519_MP:

I entered developer mode, enabled usb debugging, installed kingoroot onto my PC, (made sure I had google adb and fastboot drivers installed), rooted the sakari, copied the desired apk files onto an external sd card, and then did the following on CMD within the fastboot/adb folder:

adb shell

su

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

cp /sdcard/file_on_sdcard.apk /system/app/file_on_sdcard.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/file_on_sdcard.apk

I wanted to delete the kingoroot app, so did this:

rm -rf /system/app/KingoUser.apk

rm -rf /data/data/Kingoroot.supersu

Restart device.

This adb/fastboot drivers page should work: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

Would be interesting if it works for others... Good luck....

[General Questions and Answers] spoofykid:
I take it you already have a microSD card installed and that it's your applications needing more room? If so, you'll need to figure out how to install apps onto your SD card. Best bet might be to use the method above to root and see if an app can move the other apps to your SD card.

If it's due to not having an SD card _ best buy an SD card.
