[General Topics] pppppp:
¿Why do people use xposed or foldermount? It is pretty easy to accomplish a binding mount.

BTW, I tried foldermount and it failed because it didn't fix permissions

And link2SD didn't even try moving the WhatsApp media

Here we go: (commands run from adb, could use terminal):

First, move your WhatsApp content to the sd card. (I moved /data/media/0/WhatsApp/* to /data/sdext2/WhatsApp/)

Now fix permissions (and ownership)

chown -R root:root /data/sdext2/WhatsApp
chmod -Rv 777 /data/sdext2WhatsApp

Now, mount the sdcard folder into the internal memory folder

mount -o bind /data/sdext2/WhatsApp /data/media/0/WhatsApp

Considering

/data/sdext2 is a mounted external sdcard. This means that the folder is accessible. Makes sense since you just created /data/sdext2/WhatsApp to move the WhatsApp media into there.

/data/media/0/WhatsApp is the WhatsApp folder It is the original location of the WhatsApp media and

MUST EXIST

check its permissions, too, btw, just in case. Always try the real location ignore /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp or any other symlink or emulated

Now restart whatsapp and test. Working means you can access your downloaded pictures and you can download new ones. Either that or, In which way is it not working?

If it works ok, make the code line which mounts the folder to be run on startup. I pasted it in my /system/etc/init.d folder because my rom supports it. If you are following this guide, you probably know how to make code run on startup.

It is so easy, why are people installing apps or frameworks for something SO FREAKIN' EASY!?

BTW, whatsapp couldn't use symlink. That's why I had to use a foldermount.

tested on: lollipop 5.0, samsung i9500, halcyon rom and kernel

[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] TheRailGunner:
Hey, so I'm about to buy this phone and would like to use the hotspot on my unlimited plan through AT&T. The LX3 version supports most of the major 4G bands that AT&T uses, so I know it will work where I live for sure. That being said, I know that most phones that are factory unlocked/unbranded do not have a provision check with the carrier for a tethering subscription. But I DO know that some unlocked/unbranded phones still perform a provision check with your carrier regardless, which nips your attempt to use the hotspot in the butt. So, my question is, does anyone know if the Mate 20 Lite performs this check? Has anyone with an unlimited plan through AT&T attempted to use their hotspot? I know I wouldn't need to worry about this if there were a root method for the phone, but it's currently still being investigated if it's even possible due to the bootloader being so locked down. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] TheRailGunner:
OS?

Or is this something that has possibly been implemented to Android OS through the latest security updates? As in, any newer unlocked/unbranded phone that has had Android OS loaded onto it, will perform the check regardless if it's factory unlocked? I've seen mixed reports of this on other forums, so it's hard to say for sure if this is an actual thing that has been implemented or not.

Great. is it compatible with Android P?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Henhen59:
If I get a Verizon note 9 can I just pop an Att sim into it and it will work. I know there may be differences between voice and data but Basically is the Verizon NOTE9 GSM unlocked like past Galaxy phones were?

I read a Verizon forum where the Verizon rep said that the note 9 is GSM unlocked but she said AFTER it has been activated on Verizon.

To make matters more confusing she linked to a Verizon page that basically said all Verizon's post pay phones are GSM 4G unlocked (nothing about activation first).

Anyone can help me here? Thinking of getting a cheap one of eBay to use mainly overseas and ATT or wherever else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes. The Verizon models are unlocked. And it's the same exact hardware as the ATT version. My recommendation is to flash either the U1 or the ATT firmware though. Otherwise you'll get the Verizon boot animation and Verizon bloatware.

The ATT firmware will allow you to use WiFi calling and VOLTE.

The unlocked U1 firmware will be clean and have no carrier bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Henhen59:
Thanks for your answer. I will have to read up more on the Flashing and U1 firmware!

I see now that on ebay that some say verizon unlocked and some say verizon locked and some of the verizons up for sale dont specify (but in the item detail it says locked or contract)... This makes things more confusing.

I have always bought verizon phones for the unlocked gsm. I did read that verizon was going to stop having them unlocked....this is my main fear.

So what you're saying, is that the verizon note 9 is 100% gsm unlocked? sorry to ask again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] djohne:
I'm also looking for that definitive answer as I want to get the Verizon Note 9 for overseas use. I read that it will be unlocked after activation as they were having armed robberies at stores and other inventory locations. I was going to buy the Sprint model but it cost almost $150 to unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Verizon started that with the Pixel 3, after the Note 9. The Note 9's from Verizon are unlocked. Even with the Pixel 3, once it was activated with a Verizon SIM, it was then automatically carrier unlocked. So if you buy a used VZW Note 9 from eBay, its already been activated on Verizon, so no worries.

Just be careful buying off eBay. If its still under contract and the seller stops making payments, it will be blacklisted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Why buy a Verizon version to use on AT&T?

What is the advantage over getting an AT&T or carrier unlocked version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
They buy on Verizon because Verizon offers better deals. Then they want to use the devices on other networks. But since Note only has A firmware, not B, it's an annoying process for those who haven't flashed before.

AS to your second question: ATT doesn't allow Wi-Fi Calling nor voice over LTE on unlocked devices. So many ending putting up with their bloat in order to get those features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Huh, I would think any Verizon deal would require using Verizon service.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
Oh, they do require service. But people either don't read or think they've found some way around it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
;) oh ha! Hard to outsmart big red.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
It used to be easier. Verizon would often offer buy one get one free on Samsung and LG devices. You had to sign up for new service and put the phones on a payment plan. But the second phone uses to actually be free, not just bill credits. And you could pay off the first one and cancel your service.

I one time bought four Galaxy S7s when they were brand new, started four lines of service with Verizon, then paid off the phones and cancelled the service. Then I sold all four phones and netted about a thousand dollar profit off the deal.

Did the same thing with the LG G4 with Verizon when they offered $600 prepaid gift cards for each phone you bought.

Now Verizon, like all other carriers, lock you in with bill credits.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
As they say, all good things must come to an end.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] djohne:
I wanted them for overseas use, actually ended up getting a great deal on 2 ATT note 9s, under $500 each n paid $18 to unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] SINCITYJ:
Verizon note 9 on AT&T

I'm using an unlocked Verizon note 9 512gb 8gb ram on AT&T and amazingly everything works. Wifi calling, video calling, volte. Even went to UbreakIfix and they installed Android 10 onto the phone. When I put the Sim card into the phone it loaded all the AT&T software on the phone and I was good. The great thing about Verizon unlocked phones are that they have the full CDMA and GSM capabilities so you can use them on any carrier. It wasn't a hassle at all to do.

Can S2U2 block the gestures to avoid the launching of the Cube?

Yes you should add a key in the register and the cube 'll be block under S2U2

you can lock the cube as well by adding this reg key:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Cordtus:
I'm on a G900W8 with the latest software update and I just tried to install the latest TWRP through Odin using download mode (vol up, home and power) and while it seemed like it worked it didn't actually and now I cannot get into download mode whatsoever. It just says "installing system update" which fails after a few seconds and sends me to "no command" screen.

If I hit vol up and power to get into the next menu it says

#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU

File-Based OTA
Supported API:3

# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#

Successfully verified dmverity hash tree
E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to find /misc partition

The phone boots and I can use adb commands to "apply update from ADB" in the recovery menu but I can't figure out how I can use this to fix anything. I have tried factory reset which worked but it did not fix my issue I still cannot access download mode or figure out any way to install TWRP or even get my regular recovery working again..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Does Odin still detect it when it reaches the no command screen? I had the same thing happen to a Samsung tablet but Odin still detected it after the 'installing system update' message and I was able to do a stock firmware flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Cordtus:
No it doesn't unfortunately my PC recognizes it but it says the device has malfunctioned and is not recognized. If I boot it up Odin will recognize it fine but I cannot install anything that way since the actual system is running at that point.

This is similar to Answer a question and then ask one

Basically, someone wishes for something, and the next poster grants them their wish....with a catch. Then in that same post, they'll wish for something and the next person will grant their wish with a catch and wish for something else and so on and so forth.

Example:

Person 1: I wish there was a phone that would satisfy every person's needs.

Person 2: Granted, but only one would exist and it would be locked underground in a place no man will ever go.

I wish only Android phones existed.

Person 3: Granted, but they would all be slow and underpowered.

I wish that I knew the meaning of life.

...etc.

I'll start: I wish XDA's colour was blue instead of orange
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Wrightperspective:
When developers on XDA create mods, ROMs, etc for the 6t, I'd like to request that they post whether or not it is T-Mobile compatible o, or if they don't know, just post that. And, if someone does find out after the original post whether it's compatible or not, that they add that to the original post.

I know these developers do a lot but this would be helpful to a lot of us who got the T-Mobile version. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hartleyshc:
The answer is yes. It's T-Mobile compatible.

There's no real difference between the devices. If it works on one, it's going to work on the other.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
sorry for posting this here, but for some reason, I cant add a new question/topic..

Can you get the home screen to rotate when using the stock launcher on the Tmobile version?

I assume I could with Nova launcher, but I am trying to get used to the built in one..

thanks so much!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] enzzo28:
Nope, you gotta use a third party launcher for that...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
thanks, thats what I thought..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Wrightperspective:
That's not a hundred percent accurate. For example the pixel camera that was ported over had to be changed to accommodate the T-Mobile version. There are some differences. As someone who's not developer I don't know exactly what those are but I do know that there are some differences and there have to be some modifications on some things.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hartleyshc:
One thing had to be changed. It's because he has a compatibility list built into it based on the device name in the build.prop. He could have checked against a different build string and there would have been no issues. He only does this to cut down on complaints of devices he's not supporting. It was a self imposed limit that was quickly remedied on a device that was a few days old. This is limited to this app only and is not the norm at all. The only other time you'll see something like this is a mod to make the international launcher use Google feed, which the TMobile version already has. Or a mod to bring some feature from the international version to the TMobile version. In that case there's no need to mention it, it's obvious. No need to add a feature/app/mod you already have. And the person who made that will definitely mention that they're bringing the feature to the T-Mobile version.

Edit: also these mods will be few and far between since the way to install those mods will require an unlocked bootloader/root, and at that point, someone will most likely be running the international rom just to stay more current/more features.

Mods will work the same. ROMs will work the same. Kernels will work the same. Magisk mods will work the same. Apps will work the same. The devices are the same.

Your request would make sense if we shared a forum with the OP6. The devices share the same device tree, they are extremely similar, but there are minor differences between the devices that might make a handful of things work on one but not the other.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] freedomms:
So this is what happened

I was charging my phone via portable charger and it suddenly crash into QUALCOMM Crashdump mode. I try rebooting but could only enter fastboot mode

So i used MsnDownloadTool to flash back the original Oxygen OS and it worked for the first time. I update the OS via software update and restarted my phone.

But i forgot to exit the MsmDownloadTool and unplug the usb cable... So MsnDownloadTool reflash the stock os again. This time, my phone hang at the setup wizard and went dead

So my current state of my phone

1) Cant enter recover mode/fastboot mode

2) Phone doesnt vibrate/or power off when i hold the power button

3) It is just a black screen with a white-ish/blue-ish led light

4) When it connect to PC, it is showing as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E

5) When i connect to PC while holding Power Off + Vol Up, it will still enter QualComm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, However, even if i try reflashing hydrogen/oxygen OS, the result will be the same.

After the flashing is complete, the screen will remain black and the led color will remain as white-ish/blue-ish

So is my phone completely dead? or is there any other solution that i can try?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MrSteelX:
just flash again with msm tool
