Take it down the Devs of this rom do not appreciate you posting their work on here and have stated it many times so please remove immediately!

The DU devs have asked to not link to their ROM on XDA-Developers. You can find their Google+ group by simply...Googling. Thanks.

I was looking at new equipment and found a company called Belsee. Can anyone tell me more about these new units. It appears that Belsee is new and has the newest hardware.
[Android Auto General] marchnz:
Welcome new poster. These appear to be MTCD or variant of and with BC5 Bluetooth module, I'm not sure how these could possibly be called "newest hardware."

From reviewing their website, they are yet another reseller of vanilla MTCD units with the same issues as all others and possibly more with a BC5!
[Android Auto General] Howtoon:
Interesting. I’m not sure why the Bluetooth unit would be a concern. What would you suggest as being the top of the line and newest?
[Android Auto General] Howtoon:
This is the unit I am looking at http://https://www.belsee.com/belsee-aftermarket-toyota-camry-2007-2011-9-touch-dual-screen-android-8-0-oreo-double-2-din-head-unit-auto-radio.html

This is the newest version from Joying http://https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-9-inch-toyota-camry-android-octa-core-px5-car-radio-head-unit-with-bluetooth-video-out-function.html

Belsee

If Bluetooth is a concern apparently they will upgrade the bic5 to parrot for around $60 USD.

I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with their products. Looks interesting but I'm not sure yet.

They aren't exactly cheap. But the memory is very tempting.

I have it installled on my 17 crosstrek. Works well. I have it connected to my phones (android) hotspot and bluetooth for calls. Works perfectly there just hickups when you have a new launcher, pandora, Dash cam recording and google maps running. But all in all WAY better then stock! Just needed to get my reverse camera professionally installed to get working. The rest like steering controls and everything else was plug and play. Also just fyi the radio SUCKS A** on it. So don't use it.

Anyone have the stock camera app for use on custom ROMs?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikcook:
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4" which no longer has a working display. I want to back up as much of it as I can, so I've set to work on installing TWRP. I already installed and used it successfully on an identical device (but with the screen working!), but this time round, it just doesn't work.

TL;DR: My questions: Is there any way to add TWRP to my device without using Download Mode? Is there any way to check if TWRP is installed? And is there any way to, once I'm in Download Mode, determine that without exiting and without a display?

My process: I've tried getting into Download Mode both by shutting down, then holding the power, volume down, and home buttons for ten or so seconds, then following up with a volume up press to confirm that I want to use download mode; and by just typing reboot download in adb. I've then used Odin to flash it with TWRP. Odin shows a PASS, so I wait for the tablet to reboot into the normal mode.

Once there, I've tried to get into TWRP by both shutting down, then holding the power, volume up, and home buttons for ten or so seconds; and by just typing reboot recovery in adb. But, no matter how long I wait, my device never reconnects to my computer, and adb shell can't connect to it.

When I've rebooted into recovery, I seem to be able to press the power button once, and it reboots into the normal boot mode; this indicates to me that it's in the normal Recovery Mode, since this isn't default TWRP behaviour. That would mean that TWRP hasn't been successfully installed.

I came across this thread, which suggested that using Odin to flash a device while it's not in Download Mode would likely have no effect. My figuring, then, is that I haven't successfully booted into Download Mode ever.

Interestingly, when I ran Odin during what I thought was Download Mode, it did seem to restart the device when it was done (at least, after a bit I could connect to it normally with adb).

My question, then: Is there any way to add TWRP to my device without using Download Mode? Is there any way to check if TWRP is installed? And is there any way to, once I'm in Download Mode, determine that without exiting and without a display?

I know it's a bit of a tricky one, so :good: if you can think of an answer to any of those. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I wonder if the hdmi adaptors would work in recover, they are quite cheap to buy.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Your issue is likely that you're not manually booting to recovery IMMEDIATELY after flashing with Odin. TWRP is obviously successfully flashing.

You need to disable auto-reboot then when odin states PASS, force manual reboot by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN for a few seconds then change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.

This is all gonna come down to timing, so you may have to do it several times until you get it.

In any case if all you need to back up is your stuff stored on internal storage, you don't need twrp for that. Just connect the tablet to the PC and use MTP to backup what you need.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwauditech:
Ordered a second P2XL since they were $200 off. It was suppose to arrive Thursday but got delayed till today. Opened it up and attempted to turn it on, NOTHING. Put it on charge using my other OE charger, 10m later, NOTHING, 1hr later still NOTHING. I cant get it into bootloader. No LED or charging screen, basically no signs of life at ll. It does nothing when plugged into the PC either.

Anyone have any other ideas to revive this unit before I have to advance RMA another one? It won't ship out until Monday anyway, so I'd like to try my best.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] soopermarkus:
I had a similar problem with a Nexus 7. I put my charger on a power strip that had an on/off rocker and toggled it a bunch of times until I jumped the battery back to life. It might be worth a try. I got the same deal this week and mine arrived at half charge. No issues for me. Sorry for your bad luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwauditech:
I did attach it to mu other P2XL and it does recognize that it's plugged into another device and I can choose supply power to device. I don't think it is though because battery is not dropping on the donor device. Sucks because I NEED the device now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] soopermarkus:
If your battery is totally flat it can be really hard to jump start it, which is why my Nexus wouldn't even take a charge after being totally run flat and shelved. Sending pulses of voltage in repeated bursts charged the battery enough to restore it's ability to charge. This may not be the case for you but it helped me. I found this method on xda.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ultimate-Biohazard:
Hello everyone

Some months ago I got the Xperia T (Lt30p)

Ive been browing on forums about the posibility of install a stock rom

I know the basic and normal process of install a rom (since I did on old phones), but this time, it seems I ned to upgrade the phone in order to get the recovery and then follow the rest of the process

Is there anyway of make a backup of the original stock rom i actually have? , I know was possible with the recovery, but I cant find the way to install the recovery in my version

Sorry for pening a thread of this old phone, but , I really liked it, but would like to upgrade the android version

Android 4.1.2

BaseBand 8960-aaaaanazq-10015031-47
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
Okay, first of all, go to your phone app and enter *#*#7378423#*#*. Then navigate to service info- configuration. If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: yes" Your bootloader is still locked and you could try to update your phone via an over the air update if available or Sony Companion, or whatever it's called.

If it says "bootloader unlocked: yes" you could try to flash any firmware with flashtool by androxyde. As long as you uncheck the box with wipe data all your data will be kept.

A backup of your files is only possible if you have a custom recovery installed. For that you need root and it's risky if you're new to it.

I don't have any working Xperia T anymore, so I can't give you an advice since it's been such a long time that I flashed it.

If you follow my suggestions above you'll be able to update to Android 4.3 though. In the service menu at the point Software info you'll find your customization version. Write it here and I'll see what the newest version for your phone is.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ultimate-Biohazard:
It says

Bootloader unlock allowed: NO

And its already rooted(came rooted when I bought it) I used to do it with some old phones (well, way older), so I know some of the risky stuff

The thing is, I was searching for a recovery to install, but , apparently it only can be done on android 4.3 (or at least is what Ive seen around, I still having the 4.1) , I tought would be the same process to drop the files on the system folders

And the customization number 1266-9267_R21

SO, shall I try to directly update to 4.3 in order to install any other stock roms?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
Ok, so I searched for the xperia t, but it looks like there's nothing I can do, as it's not listed anywhere anymore. If you search for android 4.3 ftf xperia t you should find the update.

Rooting Android 4.1 was pretty simple, I can't remember though. Sorry mate.. It's been such a long time since I've used this device
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ultimate-Biohazard:
I found the tft for 4.3, but I wanted to wait to see if I could make a back up before I really like how does it look with 4.1, and in case something went wrong, so I will try to update it directly...

Hope nothign goes wrong, since , Xperia Companion doesnt recognize my phone, but an old xperia x8 or an experia e1 are being recognized

Still, thank you bud :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgplayer54:
Hello everyone,

I currently have the Canadian Model of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925W8 with Android 6.0.1). I have need to convert an application on my phone to a System App, which is something you can only do while rooted. After performing some research, it appears this website provides a root methods to use on this particular phone. The thing is - once I convert the application to a system application, I need to revert back to an unrooted phone (obviously with the system app still in tact). My question is: after performing the conversion, how to I return to an unrooted phone while keeping the converted app a system app?

Please let me know,

Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Can i ask which app?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgplayer54:
Sure, it's a GPS Spoof app (obviously for Pokemon Go). I actually have a Galaxy S8+ but, with the game's increased security and Android 7.0's security updates, spoofing has been disabled on that phone altogether. I still however have my S6 Edge which is on Android 6.0.1 therefore bypassing a lot of Android 7.0's security. After a lot of research, it appears that the only way to spoof your location within that app is to move the GPS spoof app as a system app, then unrooting so the game will play. (This prevents the need to turn on Mock Locations within developers menu which Pokemon Go flags).

I attempted to run the root linked above however it caused my phone to hang on the boot screen. I'm currently trying to fix this by flahsing stock firmware however Odin keeps telling me it failed....not the usual PASS notification. Help would be appreciated :angel:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Oh I see, have you tried magisk and magisk hide, I use it with Pokemon go and it doesn't detect root.

When you say it hangs on boot screen do you mean the Samsung logo or powered by Android logo? It can hang on Samsung logo for a short while it's normal.

Finally what error are you getting in odin and we can fix that first?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgplayer54:
Thank you for your quick response! I managed to successfully flash the stock firmware on the phone, allowing me to get past the Boot screen (the samsung screen is where it froze before). I attempted to flash the root package once more and this time it was successful!

I then opened Titanium Backup, converted my GPS Spoofing app to a system app, which caused my phone to say "Processing...". This screen remained here for the duration of the entire night. When I woke up this morning, it STILL said "Processing...". I then force closed TB and rebooted the phone. When it restarted, I checked Settings - Applications - Application Manager and, yes, I can see my GPS Spoofing app listed under the system apps dropdown menu. The problem now is...how do I launch it to use with pokemon Go? I'll need to unroot, figure out how to launch the application, and hopefully it will work then...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Now that you have it installed as a system app does it show in the app drawer? What I can tell you is I have tried a lot of GPS spoofing apps for Pokemon go and none of them actually worked. You can always flash magisk and hide Pokemon go from detecting root status and passing safety net. Then you can keep root
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgplayer54:
Unfortunately, no. The GPS Spoofing app does not appear in the App drawer after converting it to a system app. And Magisk sounds great but, to be honest, I am not interested in keeping root, I just needed the one app to be a system app to hide it from Pokemon Go's flagging (as well as Mock Locations in Developers menu). Do you know where I could launch the app from?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
I don't know Sorry, you can try moving the apk to system/priv-app and reboot. But I know the app needs to be hidden from root and safety net to be able to work with Pokemon go.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgplayer54:
As far as I know, Pokemon Go cannot see system apps within system\apps or system\priv-app. I will attempt to uninstall the system app and perhaps place the apk file into the suggested folder, ensuring permissions are rw-r--r-- (which I believe is the correct permission settings). After that, i will unroot, allowing my phone to pass safety net, then, in theory, it should work. The only problem is I still need the icon to launch the spoofing app, which is not located in the drawer...if I cannot launch it, it cannot be used.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgplayer54:
Hey! A quick update - I don't think I succeeded in getting the GPS Spoofer to be a system app however I semi-got it to work. This particular app has a setting that is called "Privacy Mode" which apparently allows it to hide it from being detected by Mock Location settings in Developer Options. When I use this, I was able to spoof successfully once from my home (real location) however my character would run back and forth like a crazy person. The second time I attempted to spoof from a different location, I signed in successfully however the phone's GPS wouldn't pick up a location and I was in a huge empty field with a GPS error (The location settings were set to GPS only). Do you know how I can get around this to spoof successfully?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Now that I’ve published my quick tutorial on mass-deleting / marking (un)read mail items in all mobile operating systems I’ve just been asked by my blog reader natestera on how the same can be done under WM5+ to PIM ("Personal Information Manager") data like calendar (appointment) info, contacts and tasks.

I’ve already elaborated on this subject in some forum posts and articles some two or three years ago. As, in the meantime,

WM5 has changed the way contacts can be mass-deleted in its built-in Contacts client (read: it no longer offers mass-selection/deletion capabilities; note that it didn’t change the way tasks and appointments are handled, though. That is, it didn’t introduce mass-selection / deletion capabilities to appointments and it didn’t take away the mass (incl. Ctl + A) /block selection capabilities of Tasks);

SKTools, the, in my opinion, best all-in-one system tool, received mass deletion capabilities; so did the brand new and, what is more, free PIM Backup;

some third-party PIM handler applications also received (some) mass-deletion capabilities and

my previous tutorials didn’t elaborate on the touchscreen-less MS Smartphone platform, only Pocket PC’s,

I found it necessary to publish a brand new, all-in-one tutorial on all these questions.

Note that this tutorial both elaborates on Pocket PC’s (with a touchscreen) and touchscreen-less MS Smartphones. Section 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 all apply to both operating systems. It’s only Chapter 2 (see Section 2.1 and 2.2) that separately discusses third-party PIM replacement applications for the two platforms.

1.1 Built-in Windows Mobile PIM apps

First, let's take a look at how the built-in Windows Mobile applications show PIM data and whether they allow for mass selection:

1.1.1 Pocket PC’s

Appointments:

(Tools / Options doesn’t have anything like this either: 1 2)

Contacts:

As can clearly be seen, starting with WM5, the contact list is not a simple, textual list any more; this may be one of the reasons why, for example, Ctl+A (on the on-screen keyboard or with external apps like AEButtonPlus capable of generating "Select all" events) or traditional block-selection keyboard shortcuts (usable from external keyboards or built-in thumbboards) don’t work any more – unlike with apps (still) based on the usual list view (like, for example, File Explorer Mobile.)

(No mass-deletion in the contact options either.)

On the touchscreen-based Pocket PC’s (but NOT on Smartphones – with the latter, not even hacks like that of AEButtonPlus work), it’s only with Tasks that mass selection (with either the stylus or Ctl-A on the on-screen keyboard) is possible:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Of course, answer Yes to the question:

1.1.2 MS Smartphones

As far as the MS Smartphone platform is concerned, the situation is equally bad with Contacts and Calendar:

and definitely worse with Tasks: unlike with Pocket PC’s, you can’t mass-delete your tasks in there. Yes, not even with "Select all" button hacks like AEButtonPlus.

1.2 Third-party tools for mass-deletion

If you do need mass deletion capabilities and you don’t want to go for a complete, PIM deletion-capable PIM replacement (or, desktop-based deletion), your best choice will be either the very capable and nice, but commercial SKTools and/or the free, but still very capable and useful PIM Backup.

Also note that, for example, MemMaid (another, excellent generic maintenance utility) also offers PIM database emptying features. As I consider MemMaid less featureful than SKTools and generally prefer the latter to the former, I don’t elaborate on it in this tutorial – I only stick to SKTools and the free PIM Backup.

1.2.1 SKTools

S-K-Tools is an all-in-one system cleaner application with quick PIM deletion capabilities. It’s available for both Pocket PC (equipped with a touchscreen) and touchscreen-less MS Smartphones. Note that it’s a commercial application; if you "only" need PIM data deletion and you are absolutely sure you won’t ever need the other (excellent) features of SKTools, you will want to prefer PIM Backup (see section 1.2.2) instead. Not that SKTools would be that expensive: actually, it’s very cheap, well worth the money.

First, go to View / PIM:

(note that I only show you MS Smartphone screenshots in here; in general, you need to do the same on touschscreen-enabled Pocket PC’s.)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Go to "Delete PIM information":

Check the PIM category you want to clean up; in the following screenshot, it’s Appointments:

Select Action/ Delete:

Answer Yes to the question coming up:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
And, then, No (!!!) to the next one (NOT Yes!):

Note that you can delete more categories at once:

1.	If you want to delete everything, just select Action / Delete All

2.	If you want to delete the contents of several categories at once (but not all of them), tick their checkbox like in here:

3.	and select Action/ Delete Marked.

1.2.2 PIM Backup

I’ve elaborated on PIM Backup’s cross-device PIM transfer capabilities HERE, along with those of SKTools. Fortunately, (as of version 2.8), it already supports emptying these databases too. As PIM Backup is free, it’s an excellent choice for mass deletion operations like this.

After downloading the app, transferring the single EXE file to your handset, running it and it firing up (the latter can take a while), you’ll be presented all the PIM databases. Go to Options / Delete All:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
and select the category you’d like to empty. Answer Yes to the question:

After the deletion has successfully completed, you’ll be presented a success message:

PIM Backup, of course, also works on the MS Smartphone platform as well; an example result of the above Appointments deletion is as follows:

1.2.3 What about Pocket dbExplorer 3.0 ?

Pocket dbExplorer was one of my favorite system hacker tools back in the pre-WM5 days. Let’s take a look at the brand new, 3.0 version, which is already compatible with WM5+.

Unfortunately, it still isn’t able to empty databases, "only" view / modify / export / backup / delete these databases. However, as you may need the latter functionality (it can prove pretty useful in other cases), I still elaborate on it. (AGAIN, you can NOT use it for deleting PIM info – "only" manipulating / exporting / transferring it! This section is only for hackers and geeks!)

First, in order to be able to access these system databases, you must click the "Object Store" drop-down list in the upper left corner and select "Open External Volume...":
