We could fetch these libraries from the 8.1 soak test firmware... If such firmware had been leaked to begin with.

I'm not criticizing the testers, they're doing what they're supposed to be doing, by not leaking anything. However, had someone done that, they would've made you guys' lives a bit easier.

Anyhow, I wish you luck. It's nice to see the G5S get the attention it deserves. It's a nice phone, actually. But it looks like it's the forgotten middle child of the G5 family. lol

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
I'm running Carbon 3.1, which I very much like. Still, I'd like to try omnirom and perhaps RR, both of which require a wipe. How do I back up and restore my data with fastboot or adb? I don't user twrp (doesn't play well with aosp). Phone is rooted, stock emui 8 recovery. I don't want to restore system, just my apps.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
the right command to backup your app and data should be this one:

backup: adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup-file.adb

restore: adb restore backup-file.adb

info:

options are

apk – Backs up your apps.

noapk – Does not backup apps.

shared – Backs up data on the SD card.

noshared – Does not backup data on the SD card.

hope this suggestion could help

but there are several apps around there which can do that for you without connecting to a pc.

(MyPhoneExplorer; TitaniumBackup; Helium App sync; aso...)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
I have titanium, but I've encountered problems on restore.

It took me several tries but

backup -apk -noshared -all -f c:\backup-file.adb

eventually worked. Hard to find the file as it appeared in something called "Virtual Store" (that is, the path provided was disregarded) but that acted like a normal folder once I found it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agatgamez:
are you sure?

Are you sure? It's at a stage where the only electronic store is the internet, because I installed a custom recovery, And installed a boot.img that wasn't official and my device has been rooted, I have no warranty, and fixing a problem like this isn't cheap if you should consider the 8 hour downloads... that's why I asked for a MediaFire link, because an electronic store pays money to get the highpeed download. Its will cost me money to do something I could do for free at home because there's always a way of recovery, if you don't delete your firmware, and can't access download mode. Also im unsure because your on iPhone, and no offense but sound Indian, and Indian people and technology = scam or damage. Are you sure all I need a official rom with the right numbers (sm-a510f). I can use the Finland one I started downloading before realizing the damage it could do. Its the first time recovery can't fix it because I forgot to hit backup before installing, I know I could have watched videos on YouTube, almost forgot XDA's existence. Then I got reminded that I turned here when my tablet got into a weird bootloop. I had to downgrade with stock recovery. No access to PC. I was lucky to have a rooted phone and a OTG cable usb-c to usb-a. Without those, I couldn't be writing *This* particular post. But please, I really want to make sure nothing goes wrong. Or a risk of a hardbrick

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrRunyon:
I have a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T) NOT rooted, and I recently received the Oreo update OTA but HAVE NOT installed Oreo. I don't want this update (mostly because reports indicate that Oreo on the S7 is buggy, drains battery, may possibly brick my phone, and it needlessly changes things). So... I want to know how to remove the persistent notification that is currently on my lock screen, my status bar, and the System icon. I just want my phone to be the way it was before this buggy software was pushed to me against my wishes (even tho I ABSOLUTELY set the phone to MANUAL updates).. How do I remove the persistent notification?

Addendum... I tried Package Disabler Pro +, and it doesn't work on my phone. When I e-mailed the developer, I received the cryptic reply... "Samsung keeps blacklisting package disabler apps on Samsung Android. So Package Disabler Pro + is now available." Which is a nonsensical reply since Package Disabler Pro + is the software I installed and which wouldn't work.

To recap... My phone is still on Nougat! I want it that way. How do I remove the persistent notifications re Oreo?

Thanks in advance for your advice and thoughts.

Unfortunately, neither file can be found anywhere on my phone. Btw... I'm NOT rooted.. And (as I mentioned above) I tried Package Disabler Pro +, and it doesn't work on my phone.

Which is a nonsensical reply since Package Disabler Pro + is the software I installed and which wouldn't work.

And now the issue is moot since my phone updated itself in spite of my efforts. And I have a set of new issues with system slowdown and battery drain. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrRunyon:
UPDATE: Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try your solution. My phone updated itself when I inadvertently didn’t put it to sleep properly, the install screen popped up unexpectedly (apparently in my pocket), and somewhere in the jostling the install button was pressed. This shouldn’t happen. If I buy a red car, the dealer or manufacturer shouldn’t be able to turn it blue a year later without my consent. I shouldn’t be required to press a button every time I start the car to keep the car red. Ditto my phone. It’s simply wrong,

In any case, I now have Oreo, and am immediately experiencing all the problems that I was trying to avoid. The phone is about 10 percent slower, and it eats power about 15 percent faster than before. Additionally, all the Google icons now have ugly white borders. My QuickPic app has pink/magenta headings that I can’t change. And there are more problems that I won’t mention. This is a performance downgrade inflicted upon me from an outside corporation. It shouldn’t be legally allowed on a DEVICE I OWN! >:(

[Android Head-Units] KoolMoeDee KMD:
Hi All,

Recently purchased and installed a Joying head unit (4GB, PX5 Octa Core) (link to product)

As this head unit runs android I am trying to tether the mobile data on my android mobile over to the head unit via the bluetooth tethering function. Problem is I dont think its working. Does anyone have any experience with this or know how to get it working?

Steps:

On the mobile, make sure its connected to mobile data

On mobile, turn on bluetooth tethering

Pair mobile and head unit via bluetooth

Still no internet access
[Android Head-Units] chper:
Can you access data via hot spot? Make you mobile device a wifi hotspot and connect the headunit to your hotspot.
[Android Head-Units] KoolMoeDee KMD:
Yeah I tried this and it works fine. I just though it be better to use bluetooth tethering seeing as the phone is already hooked up to the head unit via bluetooth. Using the WiFi hot spot option just adds another process to the mix.

Because Joying remove a lot of the standard android setting I was thinking there might be a way to access the default android settings again to be able to play around with bluetooth properly. While writing this thread up however I did email Joying about the ability to bluetooth tether and their response was:

"Our head unit can not support Bluetooth tethering"
[Android Head-Units] proto__:
Hi, I am trying to achieve the same solution however I do not think it's possible. My understanding is that the bluetooth connectivity allowed by the hardware in the head units doesn't cater for the 'full stack' of bluetooth functions, so we're stuck with telephony and audio only with no data transfer.

I would *really* love to be corrected though! It would be great if it could be solved by software alone.

Failing that, could a bluetooth USB dongle work to provide full BT support?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I consider this a bug. It did work on the Sofia 3GR units on Android 6.0.1.

It (currently) does not work on the Android 8 PX5 FYT units (like the OP has as well). Can't say anything about the QD units.
[Android Head-Units] proto__:
Well that gives me some hope at least.

I did note at least 3 'Bluetooth' apps running on my device (that I've been playing with since my previous post).

Perhaps a custom mod may be the answer...
[Android Head-Units] khisanthax:
Sorry proto, I've had about five units and all the same. You're right and it sucks. I don't think it's a big as I've come across it many times and only in a few eBay postings did the seller actually specify it has a general bluetooth connection. Otherwise toy even have to buy their obd to get that to work
[Android Head-Units] KoolMoeDee KMD:
Ok thanks for the replies. Hopefully it will be fixed with a firmware update in the future or something.
[Android Head-Units] RomainD2:
Is there are any news about this Bluetooth tethering?

I am really interested because my WiFi is really really slow...

I saw that some Bluetooth function are missing, like the possibility to remove paired device or select Bluetooth tethering.
[Android Head-Units] shanetrainST:
It’s highly unlikely Joying will fix the Bluetooth, they would need to produce a seperate rom with normal BT configured and u would not have access to the Joying BT app.

Currently Joying route all Bluetooth communication via a service called btlink, from there it goes to the joying bluetooth app.

Joying have fundamentally changed the way the Bluetooth is configured so it functions with only their software.

All these headunit manufactures do this to the BT so it functions with their software and they never offer a fix
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
From which library/framework/binary/whatever is this btlink service started/called?
[Android Head-Units] 96carboard:
Remember that it only worked with a HACK. Joying intentionally disables this functionality.
[Android Head-Units] shanetrainST:
Bluetooth information

Init.sy.rc

Service blink /vendor/bin/blink

Init.connectivity.rc

Chmod 0666 /dev/tty (This should be tty00)

Now I have modified mine but I think the system/vendor/ect/Bluetooth/bt_vendor.conf is set to

- UartPort = /dev/tty00

Blink is interacting with /dev/tty

Android system is interacting with /dev/tty00 ?

Hopefully all the information is correct as I have modified my unit lots to try give back the Bluetooth to the system and I didn’t keep many notes.

But in short the the system is trying to access the Bluetooth on the wrong Uart port, where as the blink is attaching to the tty device, allowing the joying software to work.

This prevent the android system & apps interacting with the Bluetooth.

Also this is the test app I have been using to try to get it to allow permissions to turn BT on, but it get denied every time

Bumping this for a slightly odder issue. I'm trying to connect my Joying stereo to a Hondata KPro ECU, it sees the ECU but refuses to link to it in settings, rendering apps like Hondata or RealDash useless, so in turn I'm using a crappy $20 tablet until someone can show how to fix this BT issue.

Joying was no help other than to tell me to buy their OBDII adapter, which I did, but LONG story this is a 2008 Honda engine in a 91 MR2 that has no OBDII port. I've bought an OBDII port off eBay and tried using pinouts from the ECU to hack together an OBDII port but no luck.

Having it via Bluetooth would be easier, it sees the KPro, so there must be a way.

How to enable mobile hot spot on another carrier for unlocked AT&T Galaxy S9+ G965U

I have an unlocked unlocked AT&T Galaxy S9+ G965U. However, I am not using AT&T but another carrier (Red Pocket). But I cannot turn on the mobile hot spot from the S9+. A message pops up saying "Mobile hotspot is unavailable. To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611." That is not possible since I am not using AT&T on this device. On another phone (a Xiaomi phone which was bought unlocked from the very beginning), I was able to enable mobile hot spot with Red Pocket. Also, Red Pocket does allow mobile hot spot so there is no issue with Red Pocket. Does anyone know how to enable mobile hot spot from the S9+ if possible?
