Almost any rom nowadays will nuke system, and in the process of unlocking, you wipe data so at the end it'll not be there

So is there no way to change the volume rocker to be used for adjust the ringer volume? Or there is am I'm missing it somehow?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gettingerr:
Unfortunately, Android 9 changed the volume rocker function to control media volume first and only. Without a button mapping app, there is currently no way to switch it back. Could likely be done with a zip flashed in TWRP, but that isn't available yet. You're not alone in your disappointment.

Hey, I was running Lineage OS 14.1 and then decided to go back to Stock because of network & Bluetooth issues. I flahsed the right stock rom 5.1 , it booted right on, did an OTA but the phone didn't turn on after that.

I tried Vol down + Pwr to boot bootloader, i tried to connect charger, connect to my laptop but the phone is just not responding to anything. :(
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shepxda:
never downgrade it hard bricks, you can't do anything i think unless you have a jtag unit, you did an OTA and apparently it hard bricks the phone if you weren't on stock the whole time

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] limbot:
So after extensive research and and ahhing I've finally committed and purchased an A2 Lite.

the ummming and ahhing now is if I should root or not?

I've rooted my phones since my first HTC Desire (the original one) so that I've got the "raw" Android experience with none of the horrible skins or bloatware.

Given the A2 Lite is Android One is it worth rooting? I don't add any really fancy add ons like exposed and I think the main thing I'll miss is using adaway to remove all those horrible advertisements.

Is it worth just unlocking the bootloader (this should still "bypass" most non-rooted checking apps shouldn't it?) when I first get it so that if I do decide to root later I don't lose everything ?

I assume there's been other people in the same situation.

Ideas, thoughts, comments collective gurus?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Jordan~Kurniawan:
unlocking the bootloader wipes all data

so for me

its better to unlock the bootloader first because i love having the option to root etc. without losing my data

if i want to sell it or have it repaired just re-lock the bootloader by flashing the stock rom.

its all comes down to your personal preference
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] merlin.berlin:
im waiting for good custom ROM before i root the phone. until then i can recommend blokada addblocker. no root needed and very effective.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ncar123:
I've been there like two weeks ago I decided on rooting to install gcam,greenify and YouTube vanced.

You can also install energized adblock.(it's the best)

Why not root I don't really care about updating I want stable performance....

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Avensac:
Is it possible to brick A2 Lite while rooting/installing custom rom whatever and not recover from it?

My last 2 phones were Nexus, so basically they were 100% safe. If by some kind of software mistake you bricked them, you could always clean flash factory image and that's it, no way you could render it unusable.

I don't have experience with rooting/custom roms/kernels/recovery outside Nexus phones, so my question is: can you ruin A2 Lite by bricking it and not being able to recover?

And also, is official factory image for A2 Lite (Android One version) available somewhere online (official site, like we have for nexus/pixel phones)?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] limbot:
Thanks for replies folks.

After reading through all the posts in this forum and the "issues" with OTA's etc, I've decided to leave this as a virgin device when I receive it, ( out for delivery with courier...waiting...waiting..), not even going to unlock the bootloader.

I've removed adaway and loaded blockada on my current Find 7a and it's working a treat. Root reason number 1 - tick.

The other root app I remembered I use is LMT (small hands), and Simple Pie is doing the job really well. Root reason number 2 - tick

App backup from Titanium to Mybackup - Root reason number 3 - tick

Will wait and see how the AOSP development goes and if I find anything I really need root for and cross that bridge when I get to it.

Onwards and upwards. Will officially be a member of the A2 Lite crew soon...... (looking out the window every few minutes :) )
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] georgs_town:
Hey there

My girlfriend bought a Mi a2 Lite today and before setting it up, I would like to work out a few things:

- I want her to have a working gcam on it, because I read that the low-light performance of the stock cam was really bad.

--> Apart from that I don't see any reason to root the phone. So: Is there a stable non-root-version of gcam? or would you still advice me to root?

Thanks for your replys

G
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thorin0815:
In the end a pig with lipstick stays a pig. IMO enabling GCAM isn't worth the hassle, especially not if you go with stock rom due to focus problems with Android Pie. GCAM might be a tiny little bit better compared to the stock camera app, but its main advantages only shine if you use different tweaked settings for all your different needs. There is no install,forget and have superb pictures GCAM version!

You can temporary root the phone to enable the needed camera API for GCAM. GCAM itself doesn't need root at all. Just check the guides section!

Edit: You might try Open Camera from the Play Store, it has lots of options even without Camera2 API.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] georgs_town:
Hi there, thanks for your advice! After posting here I quickly read into how to root. It turned out to be really easy, so I just went ahead (mainly for youtube vanced and adaway). Then I did this cam2api thing and tried out a few Gcams. You're right, stuff doesn't work: the interface and all worked fine, but the photos wouldn't be saved to the phone... I know that the image quality wouldn't drastically improve, but I guess night sight (terribly pictures with the stock cam in low light...) and motion photos are very cool features. But it seems that there are no really working versions available for pie...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thorin0815:
If you're still rooted, you should check out Viper4Android (Magisk module) for great sound improvements.

Beware of taking OTA updates while rooted (or for example adaway without systemless hosts). Your system partitions need to be untouched, else your update fails or your device might become even soft bricked.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] georgs_town:
Thanks, I switched off automatic updates. As for Viper4Android, I've tried that on my Pixel 3, didn't really impress me. However, the sound on the Pixel 3 is already great. If you have specific settings/profiles for Mi a2, that would be very nice :D

cheers

I root my phone is for Greenify, Battery Charge Limit App.

If you want to root, take note that time and effort is required to install OTA update.

Sometime I think the time and effort spent is not worth the benefit.

And you might not able to use some banking app or ewallet even with Magisk Hide.

I'm really quite disappointed with the gcam ports. I've tested the most famous ones and they are all very unreliable and the features I was looking for don't work (motion photos, hdr, selfie-cam).

Are they more stable on android 8? --> is there hope for a stable and reliable version?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] JWadle:
I just received my Pixel 3 XL and was pleased to find that it is a perfect fit for the ProClip holder I had been using with my Pixel 2 XL. I wanted a holder that would allow me to plug into my car's USB port for use of Android Auto. I also did not want my phone screen to be visible as an unsafe distraction while driving. I've found that by "hiding" the phone in this way you quickly become accustomed to using voice commands or the car's control knob (or touch screen) for AA. After all , that's the whole point of apps like CarPlay and AA to make using a smartphone safer while driving.

The holder I'm using is this one:

https://www.proclipusa.com/product/google-pixel-2-xl-charging-holder-with-usb-cigarette-lighter-plug

It's padded to be used with a bare Pixel 2/3 XL, but also works with a thin case like this one:

Looks great! Is it only held in by the USB-C connection? or does the pro-clip "hug" the device tightly? I'd be afraid of the phone launching outwards during hard braking.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Sevael:
Based on the OP I ordered a ProClip for my car and installed it this morning. VERY happy with the result!

My car has always been a challenge for phone mounts. There is not a single spot anywhere on the dash that is flat enough for a suction cup, and the texture of the dash plastic would make it really difficult to get a good stick anyhow. The vents are in places that make vent clip mounts undesirable. A CD tray mount is not an option either as it would place the phone up way too high and obstruct my view (it's a tall dash and the CD tray is at the very top and tilted upward). The ProClip bypasses all of those issues and places my phone in a very convenient spot without blocking anything.

The ProClip is a pretty expensive investment (especially since I had to ship to Canada and pay the crazy exchange rate), but it's well worth the cost. Thanks very much to the OP for the suggestion.

Hi There

Since Today i have an Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Duos SM-N960F (German DBT)

The Big Problem is that only SIM Card Slot 1 is affected when using tools like 4g Switcher or just in the Phone Info Tool.

In the Samsung Network Settings even when Sim Card Slot 1 is disabled you can not change to 4g only on SIM2 .

Yes i can switch my Sim Cards but i need them both with possibility of 4g Only in some cases.

I have no Root i know this would work with servicemode and bandselection because here you can choose the wanted Sim card and

then use the BAND Selection for LTE bands and so on. But without Root there is no way to Enter the Real Servicemode ( *#0011#)

Any Idea ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] t-shock:
Have you found any way in order to do that trick?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] yaesudx:
Hey

Absolutely no way the problem is almost no one is interested in that. I was sick of all this and rooted my note 9 and installed the Alexndr dev Rom with latest pie and Magisk 18.1

The problem is that Samsung changed everything in pie and even with root all secret codes on Germany DBT are not working! Nothing. I was trying to find the EFS/carrier file but it's not there for anabling secret codes. That was how it worked with older models like note 7 and 8.

Even rooted and using Apps like Samsung Phone Information or shortcut manager are not working with Samsung and latest Pie. They get Root permission but not launching any Service codes even with root launcher. I contacted developer but no one uses pie and are doing anything.

The only thing that is working now is that I have LTE Only mode directly in the settings for both Sim cards and its working because the Dev Modified his rom. So that's what I needed but I am very disappointed that I can not enter service mode for changing specific LTE bands.

So if anyone with European N960f is able to use secret codes and real Servicemode with Android 9 please tell me which rom and csc you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Techvir:
I don't know if u can change bands but you can make shortcut master to work.

Open the app and favorite the section u want.... Eg: service mode.

Then click repeatedly on the favorite shortcut...

It will ask for root and then it should work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] yaesudx:
Hi

No even with Root and Android Pie not one Program is Working at the Moment. Even Rooted on my Note 9 with Alex Dev Rom Latest Pie and Magisk 18.1 it's not possible to

use secret codes this is redicules. First time Samsung Phone Infomation and also shortcut manager are not working even when granted root permission and launched via root launcher.

I am also active on other forums and no one has a solution . So i think i am the only one in the World wo want to change LTE Bands on my Note 9 with Pie.

I also contacted the developers of the Apps with no solution so far. Maybe it's locked on my CSC which ist DBT. But this was never a problem with Root.

Samsung must have change sonmething with Android 9 which developers have not updatet yet. At least for the Secret coded. Other things and Programs are working fine with root.

Many thanks to you for having mentioned that ROM as it finally provides LTE only for the 2nd SIM slot!

You can do so under both Oreo and Pie by changing the CSC to "SIN" as the code *#2263# works there directly out of the dialer.

Sry for late reply. Glad I helped you out with that rom.

Now I have an note 10+ and I will not root anymore because to many apps will cause problems nowadays. I am glad that at least for sim1 lte only is easy possible. I am sure that it is also possible for the 2 sim slot on Samsung devices but the needed code for that is still kept a secret.

My words of advice to anyone would be to make sure you have your keys setup in advance, dont recover your device in the middle of a bootloader unlock as you will no longer have debug mode keys and get fubared... also backup Aboot before you over-write it, this caused me some headache and back and forth unnecessarily.
