Thanks, I am wondering the same about adb and fastboot myself being the issue. All the settings on my phone seem to be fine for allowing it to connect to adb however when i switch the phone usb from charging to MTP windows gives me a "failed driver installation" error.

Thanks for any help, I'll post if I run into further issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yumi14:
Hi,

I'm currently trying to make a stable version of LineageOS 14.1 for my phone. Actually its booting, got Bluetooth, WiFi and RIL kind of working bug I have a log of bugs and I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I'm not a pro or anything and I started this project a week ago. I'm a dev, I know how to code in Java/Android(a bit, I don't really like it), and C/C++.

I've already made a shim for some libs on my phone and that made work Bluetooth and Back camera & backlight, front camera is not detected and make the camera app unusable.

There is a forum for this phone but unfortunatly, all devs are gone (they got their work stealed and just got discouraged).

I hope that if I post in this Forum I could get some help.

So now that presentations are done, here are the infos I have :

Last stock ROM : Android 4.4.2

Working on ROM : Android 7.1.2 LineageOS 14.1

Here's the current bugs:

RIL:

I can send SMS, call people & receive calls but I just don't receive any SMS, if I boot on my stock ROM, I receive all SMS that were sent while using my LineageOS 14.1.

RIL data doesn't work, it work on LineageOS 13.0 so I think it might be possible to fix this stuff.

This phone has LTE, and LTE is working in LOS 13.0.

Camera:

Front camera is not working, makes the camera app crash and I then can't change to the back camera.

If you need something like logcat or dmesg, feel free to ask, I'll try to do my best and provide it to you.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] peek_12_21:
Hey I just got a Verizon branded v20 vs995, and I use it on total wireless and they have a alotted amount of high speed data but you can go to 3g and still get data. Every other phone I had has had ways to change that. Is there anyway to do that on this phone?? I'm open to an app or one of those type in the code to get a hidden menu. But all this phone gives it lte/cdma or game. Not a cdma only option so it never kicks off 4g unless I have no 4g coverage then it finally kicks to 3g. Anyone know how to do this??? Thanks in advanced

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] WieselDroid:
can't enable "always on" VPN for OpenVPN in EMUI (but works for other vendors UIs)

In Android 8, 3rd party VPN apps can use the new APIs to show up in Androids VPN list and also offer settings like "always on VPN".

I'm using "OpenVPN for Android". On my LG phone with Android 8 it shows up in that list just as a native VPN and I can edit it by clicking the gear icon on that entry in the list. There I can enable the "always on" feature.

But in EMUI, in that same VPN list, the gear icon is only shown for native VPNs. For my OpenVPN entry, theres an arrow icon instead. By clicking, it enters the OpenVPN app instead of showing an Android settings screen. Inside the OpenVPN app I can't do that system setting for "always on", I think that an app cannot set this setting, it must be done by the user in the Androidsettings.

Am I too stupid or did Huawei implemented the settings screens so strange that it is just not possible to access the needed screen?

Are there apps that let you change Android settings instead of using the proprietary setting pages from LG, Huawei, etc?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
You can use Nova Launcher, as shown here:

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/disable-displaying-apps-huawei-emui-8-t3795342

You could also try installing Settings Database Editor which allows you to manually alter the settings database.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] WieselDroid:
Nova Launcher is just for Homescreen (I'm already using it across all devices) but the Settings keep proprietary (or do I miss some settings of Nova?)

But thank you for the hint to Settings Database Editor, I was able to copy the 2 necessary lines from my LG phone.

For anyone interested in this, the settings are in "Secure Table":

"always_on_vpn_app" -> "de.blinkt.openvpn" (adjust if using another client)

"always_on_vpn_lockdown" -> "1"

But it only takes effect after a reboot. It doesn't matter much for me but what would I need to do after adding those system settings to apply the change? Is there some process to restart or a way to reload the config?

I have T-Mobile Wing with a T-Zone plan. Setting the proxy of T-Mobile Data connection to 216.155.165.50:8080 allows most of the important apps to connect to the Internet including Google Map, Opera Mini, Media Player, etc. However, few programs like the Weather Watcher still can only download weather data from the Wifi or USB ActiveSync connection and not via the T-Mobile Data connection. Just wonder about the reason and if there is any remedy on the phone. Thanks for any hint.

Thanks for your hint. I already applied the CAB and HT Weather works. However, I am using a really nice application call Weather Watcher by Mike Singer and it can not get the weather data through T-Zone proxy, only through Wifi or ActiveSync. Maybe it does need a patch like the HTC Weather patch.
[Networking] Kosmos:
Sorry about the misunderstanding and thinking you was talking about HTC weather. I don't use that particular program as I like SPB weather better but noticed if adding my city which isn't in their data base by zip code-it won't connect either. Though if using the closest city to me in their data base I don't have any issue connecting via proxy.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edisile:
After restoring a probably corrupt nandroid backup all my sensors stopped working; after a bit of research it appears that my /persist partition got wiped and I lost all the sensor related files inside it. Everything I found pointed to restoring the /persist partition as a whole, but no one is willing to distribute an image of it because it includes some DRM keys and those could somehow be used to trace the owner of the phone used to get the image from (kinda skeptical about it, but maybe someone else knows better).

Thing is I don't need those DRM keys to get the sensors back working (at least I believe so), a copy of /persist/sensors would be more that enough. If anyone that is rooted could provide me with a copy from his/hers device it would be great.

I need help with a galaxy S7 Edge that is stuck on boot screen.

I am trying to bypass the FRP lock on this phone using the guide by techeligible3322 (link here).

I had software build G935TUVS4QC1 running on this phone, which didn't support the bluetooth headset method. So , I ended up flashing Combination ROM on it. Here is the rundown of what has happened so far.

1. Tried to flash Combination file G935AUCU2APG2 with Odin 3.12 which got stuck. Had to close odin after waiting for hours. Phone was stuck in download mode.

2. Dowloaded Odin 3.13 and flashed combination Rom G935TAUCU4AQB1. Flash succeeded. But phone stuck on boot screen.

3. Flashed G935TAUCU4APL2 combination rom with Odin 3.13. Success. But still stuck on boot screen.

Download screen shows the following info.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
