yeah, open, 1+1 and Google Pixel (or Xiaomi) devices with a big community and dedicated devs make up for it - they integrate upstream Linux and codeaurora changes,

so we really get the most up-to-date sauce

yep, 99,9% don't do that - interestingly SonyAOSP lives up to those high standards (however with limitations)

that's what Project Treble and further continuation of it is there for - that doesn't help with outdated drivers though - abstraction,

then you kernels and/or drivers with old and outdated support and features compiled in that automatically leads to attack surface soon or even out of the box

One way to improve the situation would ship the vendor blobs with a compatibility wrapper of some sort that allows it to work with newer APIs and kernel versions/changes (e.g. nvidia graphics drivers which are patched up)

well, who knows - perhaps they needed this kind of security hole in Koreo for some operation ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SGCMarkus:
yeah... treble is such a thing lol

Nearly all our blobs were ready for it already (atleast 8.0 treble), didnt need much patching (just vibrator, and wifi firmware path). The rest works fine being on /vendor

but google changed treble again with 8.1 ?

(proprietary libs mustnt depend on android.hidl.base/manager@1.0.so, idk if there were more changes)

idk if there will be more changes with 9.0. But those blobs would be really nice actually.

Maybe we get the 9.0 update earlier than march/april thanks to this update center ???

even though, koreans got it end of december already (for oreo), so yeah ?

But the general idea behind treble is to create an interface, with standardized commands, that every (future) android version understands, so that theres no need to change the blobs actually. Even though (for security) its recommended to.

But i think even for P you have to tell it (at compile time i think) that the blobs are for 8.0/8.1, and not 9.0, so it takes the right interfaces or something like that? not sure atm though

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArcticGentoo:
Sorry if this is in the wrong location, if it is please let me know where to move it.

So the story goes I found an Amiibo Kiosk at my apartment dumpster. It was originally designed to run a single app meant to be interacted with by customers and a settings app meant to be accessed by a technician and nothing more. Using adb I managed to get into the /actual/ android settings menu instead of the custom "CSR" one that you can access by pushing some buttons on the back and perform a factory reset. If you need more information I documented everything I did here: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/commercial-grade-android-tablet-issues-t3594279 the post is at the very bottom.

It's a giant 18.5 inch 720p commercial tablet from DUCO meant to be mounted in customer-service kiosks: (product page) http://www.ducotech.com/product/18-5-android-based-720p-hi-def-lcd-media-player/

I sideloaded arrow launcher, aosp keyboard, google chrome, and a stripped-down youtube front-end so it can be used as an actual tablet. Unfortunately Google Play services in not supported on this device (although I could probably spoof it as an officially supported device to make it work, but I want to fix my biggest problem first.)

My problem is that after a pretty consistent amount of time it unceremoniously black-screens with a pop from the speakers, then starts back up. I logcatted it and it shows nothing but wlan polls and ram cleanup before it shuts down, however I'll include it anyway since I'm sure that'll be the first thing anybody asks for.

My best guess is that there is some kernel watchdog resetting it since it's not being tickled by DUCO's CSR app that is normally installed when the system is sitting on a salesfloor.

Is there any way to check for this and/or disable it?

Additional info:

Running Android 4.1.1

Sun4i architecture

I attempted to install Busybox, but the tablet resets itself before Busybox can finish installation.

Logcat is here since the logcat.txt is a few kb too big to upload.

Hi, I'm new to rooting. Just received by VZW Pixel 2. It's on 8.0.0 from September 5, 2017 (OPD3.170816.012). It autodownloaded an update, but I haven't restarted to install it yet, so I think I should be good?

From what I read here, it seems I can download the 8.1.0 stock OTA (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018) and follow this guide to unlock and install Magisk/TWRP? Anything else I need to know beforehand? Any downsides to unlocking/rooting other than the initial wipe and needing to manually install future updates? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] munchy_cool:
nothing else.

Also, I would do it ASAP as it auto downloaded an update.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
Not to sound like a jerk, but if you had read the first post you linked in its entirety, you would have known to remove the SIM and refuse wifi, so it didn't download the update. However, I believe that, if you follow the instructions exactly, when you update to the correct January patch, that downloaded update should get deleted when it wipes all the partitions. I do hope you are successful! :)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pr0cs:
I bought a AT&T spec phone from ebay but because I'm not in the USA nor on AT&T the device is stuck on H91010I from Dec 1, 2016.

From my little reading it appears this old version is possible to root using some of the documented methods but I wonder if it would make sense to wait?

If Oreo does come to the V20 would it be worthwhile to skip going through the song and dance of following the myriad of guides now and save that until some good Oreo roms are available for the device?

1) I despise the AT&T branding and bloatware, I have no idea how they get away with putting so much **** on the phone, I would say nearly half of the apps on the device I will never use or have any interest in using

2) I find the battery life really poor, dunno if it's the stock rom, AT&T bloatware or some combination of the two, my ancient Sony Z3 gets better battery life but it's old as the dinosaurs, how is my new V20 so poor?

3) The guides for rooting and updating to a custom rom for the V20 looks pretty gnarly, run script, install files, sacrifice chickens, dance in a circle with a kiwi on your foot. I understand DirtySanta seems to provide access that I need but man the guides look pretty daunting

What do you guys think?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
If you want to root I'd would do it now, no one knows right now if oreo will be rootable with the present methods. If you are weary using the dirty santa method I believe runningnaked has another root method here on the forum
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] toastyp:
If you want updates you will have to root. Att only pushes updates to devices with an active att sim. So your phone will stay on that old firmware indefinitely. The only root method for the device is dirtysanta. That's it. We have a fully locked bootloader with no fastboot so it is the only way to achieve root. Runninnak3ds guide is dirty santa so there is no difference between the two. Both use the dirtycow exploit to push a debug aboot to the phone. So either you root to stay up to date and debloat or you stay how you are. No other way around it
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pr0cs:
Clearly I have to bite the bullet and start doing some reading and see if I can follow one of the guides. Thanks for the info!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pr0cs:
Followed [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] guide and it went pretty well. I wanted to try a debloated rom but I couldn't get it to work without seeing the crash screen. Stuck with the rom that was included with the guide and just debloated the installation with root as best I could. I have not tried tethering, which never worked with the legacy rom that came with the phone. Nonetheless, the process wasn't too difficult, the hardest part was downloading the kdz file from lg-firmwares.com which took well over a hour to download. I might try and rehost that file for other people stuck in the same situation.

Hello

I was the one who uploaded the three files two weeks ago in a post which I had to delete because I could not take care of it because of illness ... The HWOTA method to install the OREO Beta packages if they work both for Nougat and to update to Oreo . I have done it on several occasions to find a fault that they say exists but I do not find any.

Just rename the packages

»update.zip

»Update_full_hw_spcseas.zip (rename to update_all_hw.zip after downloading)

»Update_data_full_public.zip (rename to update_data_public.zip after downloading)

In this way they are saved in the update folder of the HWOTA tool, which should be located on Disk C, since in another place I do not let the tool operate.

The HWOTA tool alone will tell you how to proceed and there should be no failure ... This Beta is only for the Middle East version so if you do not have it you will have to rebrand your device so that it is installed ... at the time of running the tools before installing the packages it will ask you two options 1. to install from the SD if you were to use it.

2. To use the cmd script ... this is the option that I use and for which the three packages have to be saved in the UPDATE folder of the HWOTA folder: ..

If you execute everything correctly, the computer will reboot itself and install the update .... Once installed you should enter fastboot mode and relock it. having at hand the respective bootloader code to your device.

LineageOS 14.1 stuck in fastboot & rescue Huawei mode after successfull installation

Hello, people,

I did comprehensive research how to avoid fastboot & rescue mode after successful LineageOS 14.1 update, but still cannot boot the installed LineageOS. I already executed the following steps:

1. The phone is already unlocked. (Huawei Honor 4/4x)

2. TWRP downloaded and installed, version 2.8.7.0, already has been used and through it has been installed one of the previous releases of LineageOS 14.1, successfully running for more than a year.

2. Downloaded latest compatible LineageOS 14.1 .zip for Honor 4, and for my model cherry. (already has been installed on my Phone a 1 year old version)

3. Downloaded LineageOS extras, su-root, etc.

4. Downloaded Gapps, compatible for my model AMD.

[Android General] ayx03:
Hello

So far from my tinkering i have came to realize that after an android app gets installed the following directory under the root file system gets changed

/data/app : here the apk is stored

/data/app-lib : here the app's native binaries are extracted

/data/dalvik-cache : here the app's dex binary is extracted

/data/data : here the app's db & other files are created under a folder named by the app's package

i rooted my nexus 5

i then installed a simple app

checked the directories mentioned above and saw new contents

then i copied the particular app's contents from the mentioned directories and kept them in a separate folder inside the sdcard directory

i then uninstalled the app & checked the above directories. The files corresponding to the app were gone as per my guess

Then i have copied back the contents from my sdcard to the above directories to restore the app without a new installation

But Now the Android OS is not showing the APP along with the others , but WHY ? Does the OS creates a tree somewhere in the filesystem during the installation ? or If there is some thing else which i am missing which i can change so that the app reappears automatically without any new installation .

Thanks in advance
