[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] alby961:
I bought recently a new Honor V10. When I open Spotify, the Huawei Histen Audio option does not start automatically. Every time I have to go to Settings, search the option and open it: immediately I can hear the sound changing with Histen effects applied.

Is there any way to make it start automatically when I open song apps/YouTube ecc?

Hi! This is little workaround for uncertificated devices. I just try in only for fun and maybe because 100 attempts by google will not be enough for me in future too :D Now I am on latest LineageOS 15.1 and my device is Certified :highfive:

So here is How to:

at first, this is the most important and most complicated part of whole tutorial :p - you need to run ROM, where you are "Certified"

I know that this steps sounds really stupid, but you need this only on first time and in future you can skip this step (I hope :angel:)

I was lucky, because I had twrp backup with AOSP-JDC ROM and there I had Certified Device, so I only took necessary file from my backup

now take your favourite file explorer and go to root/data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases and find file gservices.db

copy it to your PC and open it in some HEX editor, for example in HxD:

https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

now search for android_id (in text strings), there should by two matches and we are looking for the second match

it sholud looks like this:

android_id41340671389340000005

the number will be different, but the number is exactly what we are looking for

copy it, remember it, write it on paper .... as you wish

now restore, flash or build ROM which you want to run and where you are Uncertified

again find gservices.db in root/data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases

find second match of android_id and change that long number with that one founded in steps before

copy this moded file back to root/data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases, set right permissions, clear Goolge Play Store data in settings/applications menu and restart device

after first boot i didn't get Certified nor Uncertified :confused:, there was nothing, but after some time it appears like Certified

So, maybe for some of you will this tutorial totally unnecessary, but I wanted to try if I can certify my OPX without Google and I am only sharing my results. So Good luck :cool:
[OnePlus X Themes and Apps] tet-bundy:
Thanks for sharing your findings!

I found that titanium backup offers an option to restore an old Android id from a backup. Didn't work for me though (oreo rom) so your manual method is very much welcomed :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
If you rooted with SamFail v3 then that means you had v3 bootloader. If you were indeed on S2BQK2 before root you should have used SamFail v2. You you did in fact use SamFail v3 then you have v3 bootloader & you would not be able to downgrade back to v2 bootloader, Odin will not let you. If that's the case you need to flash N950USQS3BRA8.
[General Questions and Answers] Tovya:
Hi all,

As the title says, I'm trying to find out if it's possible to connect a LG G6 or V30 to a Samsung 4k Smart TV without having WiFi?

Example: I use my current Note 5 to just screen mirror (sources on TV, then screen mirror on phone) to connect and can stream all day just using my mobile data, no need for WiFi connection.

I do have a Chromecast, because someone I used to trust about tech stuff I didn't know about told me I could use it to cast to it without WiFi... now I know better and own a Chromecast. I'm trying to decide on a new phone to get, and need to know if this brand new TV I just bought today is going to ruin my chances of upgrading to the phone I want or keep me on a Galaxy phone.

Thanks for any help!

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

I've been using XDA for a few years now to mod my many other Android devices, but today; was talking to wife and she isn't happy with her Amazon Fire tablet as she says it's too slow and is sick of all the ads. It's a 7" 5th Generation running 5.6.0.1 and all I've done to it in the past is install Google Play on it.

What would be my best option / ROM to load which would basically turn it into a simple yet stable Android device? I looked at LineageOS & a couple of others in this forum, but unsure which is the most stable - and - if it's even possible to install any of them on a 5.6.0.1 device. I planned to test out a couple as I thought I had rooted when installing Google Play long ago so grabbed TWRP and installed FlashFire - but when launching FlashFire I was told it was not rooted.

What would you suggest be the way to go to achieve this goal? Thanks!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Unfortunately, allowing FireOS to update beyond 5.3.2.0 permanently removed the ability to root and/or install custom ROMs. It's FireOS in all it's glory from this point forward. There is a convoluted way to remove some of the Amazon bloat but you probably don't want to go there as it's not for the faint of heart. Most who travel that route have less than satisfactory outcomes. 5th/7th gen Fire 7 devices are getting long in the tooth and are decidedly underpowered for the tasks Amazon demands of it. Your better half is probably looking a new device if she is significantly dissatisfied.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakitu47:
Some folks over in the HD 8/10 forum seem to be making headway with achieving root, some of which might apply to the Fire 7.

However, I do have to agree the 5th gen Fire 7 I have is barely a functional tablet at this point with the stock ROM.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
HD 10 has a different underlying architecture utilizing different kernel and ROM components exposing new vulnerabilities that are being exploited. Amazon will undoubtedly close those as do all manufactures. In contrast HD 8 uses the same architecture as the Fire 7. Realizing root on that device is highly unlikely.

It will be interest to see what Amazon does with the next hardware refresh. Me thinks the Fire 7 will be gone with either an adjustment on the HD 8 price point or the addition of some other gizmo to fill the gap.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakitu47:
From what it looks like so far, it looks like the current progress for the Fire HD 8 is less so "root" and more like "uncovering hidden features we never knew we could use on Fire OS".

I do notice the Fire HD 8/HD 10 have gotten more of the spotlight recently. The Fire 7 (even the 2017 version) just isn't the $50 bargain it was two years ago. The HD 8 2017 has already dropped down to only $80 new.

Less people are buying the 7" tablet now, because it almost seems "too cheap". I do wonder what the Fire tablet lineup will be next year.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgonhed:
I bought the 7" recently and still consider it a pretty good bargain (I paid 40 Euros).

You could argue that the 8" it better value for money (I don't really know, but maybe) but for me the 7" form-factor is just perfect for a "everyday carry device".

The market for 7" tablet is not so big, you could get a Lenovo for about 80 Euro or a Samsung for about 120, that's about it if you want to avoid chinese no-names.

So it is by far the cheapest option and debloated and equipped with Google Playstore it is quite a nice device and I expect Amazon to drop the 7" line, so get it while you can...
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
A gently used HDX is a far better device for similar coin. Far superior hardware and capable of running a dozen+ custom ROMs ranging from KitKat to Nougat (soon Oreo). I do enjoy my rooted 5th gen Fire for media streaming playback.

Hi everyone,

I have created my own Parental Control application since I had difficulties to find a free, simple and secure one.

I'm actually searching for testers or good ideas.

It allows to:

avoid installing new application by blocking the Play Store

block the installed applications (completely or by adding a time limit)

limit the calls duration

ensure the Youtube parental filter is enabled (and stays enabled)

track your child applications or network activities

be warned when your child leave a defined area (PAID FEATURE)

block undesired content (adult/illegal websites...) or a specific website by filtering the device's network requests (PAID FEATURE)

Beware of one thing: Kiddie does not provide any remote control. You will have to take your child's device to do restriction modifications.

Play Store link:

Why can't I install it on my Android 8.1 Huawei P20?
[Android Apps and Games] Tianhe:
Off-topic: For a moment I was confused on why a tool for flashing ROMs on Samsung Galaxy S was in focus again !
[Android Apps and Games] zippy01:
Is remote control coming? Like viewing what apps they have downloaded or seeing YouTube history?
[Android Apps and Games] Fif_:
Cool app. In my opinion:

1. Blocking the entire settings app is too overreaching, only sensitive settings activities should be blocked (VPN, Accessibility).

2. Remote control would be nice (eg. kid is at a friend's for the afternoon and you want to unlock stuff without driving across town).

3. Maybe a way to pick individual activities inside applications (eg. YouTube settings panel).
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Before selecting a name for an app, you should search XDA for that name. In case of heimdall you will find the Linux version of Odin. The well known Samsung flashing tool.
[Android Apps and Games] Steelskinz:
Great news. Merci ! :)

Can't you do a free webblock version with stevenblack hosts file (i guess root will be necessary) or parental dns like norton or opendns ? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
@fr_ju: Fred, if interested to get the app translated you may want to consider to announce it here.

You're certainly correct and it would make it easier to distinguish. However, I doubt that the name of a Norse god bears a copyright or trademark, and Heimdall(r) seems to be a good patron of an application with the desired intention. But as Fred also asks for ideas about the app's name, how about "Heimdall's Horn" i.e. Gjallarhorn.
[Android Apps and Games] Kaherdin:
Well. I'd love to use this app, but I can't install it from the play store.

Apk available?
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Hi all, thanks for your comments. I'll try to answer all your questions:

- I actually knew about the flashing tool before selecting Heimdall as name, but I believe most people actually doesn't know about the flashing tool (except maybe on xda). And I like the sound and meaning of it.

- concerning impossibility to install Heimdall on Huawei: I actually had to block all Huawei, Honor and Xiaomi devices due to incompatibilities. These manufacturers heavily modify Android and Heimdall protections are randomly disabled on theses devices.

- concerning the settings app which is always blocked: at the beginning I were only blocking some settings activities and not the whole app, but I quickly discover that it is actually complicated to cover all cases due to all different or modified version of Android. So I chose the easy way, but this is not the first time I heard complaint about that so I will think about it and try to find a better way.

- concerning the remote control: for now I want to avoid sending data to a server (for several reasons, including the privacy protection). So having a remote control in that condition is not that simple. I may extend the existing remote control via SMS in the future to support more use cases, but for the user it is not as simple as other solutions.
[Android Apps and Games] Fif_:
One way that it may be done is to allow the used to optionally block activities instead of whole apps. You should be able to get activity lists from blocked apps. You can ship the App with the whole settings blocked by default and allow users to fine tune the blocking if needed.

Your concern for privacy is commendable. SMS control is nice but won't work for devices without cellular connection, such as tablets or phones running without a network plan and/or SIM cards (such devices are popular with kids in my corner of the world). If you decide to go with some form of cloud messaging, please use GCM as it's the de facto standard. If you're targeting non-Google devices, I hear MQTT is good, but you'll have to have your own infrastructure and have users exclude Heimdall from battery optimization.

Showing a message which says something like "the phone is unlocked, it is in risk bla bla.." and booting but reboots after a while and stock recovery shows up. Sometimes it just shows that booting message forever. Probably OS is all messed up. Couldnt find stock rom. So would appreciate anyone uploading it for me.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Quantumstate:
I'm trying to get my Z2 connected by IPSec to my LAN. Part of that is I want to have it always get a known IP address.

Well the mechanism that most DHCP servers use is setting the MAC to assign a known IP. But checking the logs I find that the Z2 changes MAC

every time

I establish a new VPN connexion! WTH?

I mean, normally I would see this as a benefit, but I need to be able to pin down what is what so I can give it its rightful IP address, so I can find it later.

When I check interfaces with ipconfig, there are about a dozen of them, and the one getting the VPN IP is tun0.
