For anyone somewhat interested in privacy, Cloudflare isn't the best choice.

UncensoredDNS works fine, and you can either use this for Anycast:

anycast.censurfridns.dk

...or this for a single node:

unicast.censurfridns.dk

Edit: In 2023, I recommend Cloudflare unless you have a specific reason not to be using it. I use their 1111 Families for malware URL.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpectorOfDeath:
I have an android device running Android 5.1.1 but on a proprietary build that doesnt include GApps.

What i want to do is root the device, but in order to do so with Magisk, I need the Stock ROM boot.img file which I cant find anywhere because they arent open source like Samsung ect. There is also no TWRP build for it, official or ortherwise.

The device is a Rand McNally OverDryve 8 Pro.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get the boot.img file without having exising root or TWRP? Maybe with adb without root though, unless some way to gain root shell without root device.

Or can anyone point me to a DETAILED, uptodate guide on how to compile TWRP myself, inculding setting up the build envirment and which version of Ubuntu I should use. I have tried previously with some older guides using Ubuntu 12.01 or somthing but lots of sync and repo issues and such and i gave up as im jist learning on the fly and not capable of deep troubleshooting.

Is there any way of changing the font to bold font or any other font?

I thought ios was plain but Google taken it to another level.

This could be my last Google phone if they carry on this way.

Google are fast becoming a huge joke and will plummet further as far as smartphones are concerned.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Hmm. yes, I too am extremely upset I cannot change my font. It is extremely illegible to the millions of users looking at the phone. Its such a boring and unflattering font that seems to just convey "read what I have to say and carry on with life".....

But seriously, because you cant change your font is the downfall of a phone? This is an odd rant from someone with 2600+ posts. Oh, and feel free to go back to iOS where you cant change your notification tones to anything but what Apple gives you...but who am I to judge what makes you happy.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] riz157:
Lol. No it's not the only reason for my rant. Nothing personal mate just my opinion, sorry to upset you. Wait see next year Google have to drastically change if they at all want to be taken serious.

Nacho notch

Cheap build

4gb RAM

Single camera

No theming

Battery life

And then the pricing

At best this is a mid-range phone at flagship price.

I thought apple were a rip-off but Google are worse.

Glad price head dropped in the UK by 100 but still pricy.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Its all good. I just think its funny what some people deem as something that makes or breaks something. The notch doesnt bother me. I think the build is pretty solid(it doesnt flex or creak from plastic). The RAM doesnt bother me, but then again, Im not doing CAD on my phone or extreme gaming. Whats wrong with a single camera>? They have already proven its about the software and its still one of the best cameras out there. You can do theming if you root it. Battery life is incredible, but then again it all comes down to how you use it. Pricing sucks and I agree with you, but nobody put a gun to our heads and said we had to buy it.

Honestly, if I wasnt such a Google fanboy, I would have jumped all over the One+ 6T. I think thats perfect for the price.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] riz157:
I was massive Google fan but I think I'd go with with Samsung note 9.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] hilla_killa:
Cheap build lmao! Watch the durability test on youtube! Solves your cheap build concern, our single camera does better then phones with 2 or 3! Go back to iPhone
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
No, I have a friend with a 9 and she has to reboot all the time. Nothing but issues. Plus, you want to talk about build quality...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Sooo, it has arguably the best camera of all phones in 2018 (several sites such as gizmodo named it number 1), and every other phone that topped the list has at least two cameras. How is having more cameras better then?

The build is great IMO. I DO wish they got rid of the rear top plate, it's just dumb, and maybe used metal on the sides, and perhaps a different material that still allows wireless charging. Having said that, I still dig the build. It feels great in my hands, and stood up very well to the toughness test I think iFixit does.

And how is this not a flagship? It has the SD 845, same as all other flagships, an QHD OLED screen from SAMSUNG, which is superb, dual front speakers, I mean, it's pretty top tier. Is it the 4 GB of RAM? Because I'm here to tell you, there are not many cases where you'll ever use that. More RAM also means the system eats up more (which is why some people will argue their 6 or 8 GB phones are always using near or more than 4 GB, heard that argument way too many times). And I'm a sys admin, and currently my computer is using 6 GB of RAM, and you should see all the stuff I have open. This is a full desktop OS system too.

Also, since when can you customize an iPhone AT ALL? You can't theme it, or really do anything whatsoever except maybe change the order of the app icons. If you're complaining about the lack of customization, iPhone doesn't have any.

Sorry, I know you are entitled to your own opinion and I'm not trying to start an argument, and these are things you don't like, but you can't say that the above reasons are bad.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

Also, my phone is rooted, which was incredibly easy, and I have a different font, different app icons, audio mods which make even my 13 speaker bose system in my pathfinder sound way better, if I want I can change just about anything. Try rooting a Note 9, or really any other Android except the OnePlus's. And have fun jailbreaking an iPhone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] riz157:
I'm considering root my UK phone. Warranty is out of the window.

Which rom would you recommend and is stable? Has many customizable features?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Google doesn't void a Pixel warranty if you root. Having said that, if you need a replacement, I would flash it back to stock and lock the bootloader.

Anyway, I don't use a different ROM. Stock Pixel launcher. I use Pixel Launcher Mods (the app from XDA labs) to change the app icons and remove the alarm from the notification bar. I flash a custom font - rosemary. I use Viper4Android for audio mods - this makes the speakers and Bluetooth whatever sound way better. There's also Adaway to get rid of ads in apps. I haven't used it in a while though. Anyway, tons of stuff you can do with root. Also, there are a couple ROMs out, just check the development threads. A lot of people us a different launcher from the play store. These allow the things pixel launcher mods does and more.

hi all. I ask you a question, I wanted to know if you too the vibration of haptic feedback has a resonance noise
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ferk:
I know exactly what you mean, we all have the resonance sound from the vibration motor.

It was part of the reason why I chose to return my OnePlus 6 back in May, I couldn't get used to it.

Now I have a OnePlus 6T McLaren and although it has a bit less resonance sound than the old OnePlus 6, it's not perfect.

And I have compared with my friends who have a 6T, and they all sound the same.

Now you know :)

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:

Hi folks,

I'm thinking of signing up for the $9/month SquareTrade warranty. I have had very good experience with ST in the past (two devices broken, got good refunds).

While extended warranties tend to be things I pass on, there are cases where the insurance gives me peace of mind, and this is my first NEW current model phone ever (I usually by used or heavily discounted last year's models), so for the first time a warranty may be worth it. $108/year, not to worry about dropping it. Hmmm.

Anybody have thoughts on this?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] EmperorX:
Look at Upsie!

https://upsie.com

$89 for two years!

I've not had to actually utilize the insurance... But the sign up process was nice and easy!
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] OnePlusXEquals:
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.

I would like to change the delay for the notification and navigation bar to hide in immersive mode.

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

This is the command i have found to activate immersive mode and it works well for me, except for the fact that the delay is too long - probably around 2000ms, i would prefer around half that.

Does anybody know where this is defined? I'm not a dev (obviously) but I am hoping it would just involve changing a value somewhere in a config file...

Thanks in advance!

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Hexxonite:
Hi there,

I recently lost my phone outside with GPS disabled, only got it back through 110% luck

and this got me thinking about the device security.

For some time now I can call myself a owner of a OnePlus 6 phone,

in the beginning I was really convinced of the brand and phone but over the time some questions accured.

at the moment im running OOS v9.0.3 with

bootloader unlocked,

Magisk v18 and

Bluspark Twrp v9.85v2

passing dm & SafetyNet

(phone is encrypted as by default)

Now here are my questions I couldnt find a clear answer to:

1. Using a flash or the factory unbrick tool, how easy is it for a potential thief to wipe/reset an encrypted device (with locked bootloader) to keep using it/sell it?

2. is it possible and or safe to relock the bootloader with the phone still rooted (Magisk etc)?

2.1 if thats possible, is there a way to unlock the bootloader again (using root) without wiping the phone?

3. has the possibility to "fastboot boot" an image on an encrypted phone with locked bootloader(to access the phone) been fixed?

4. is there a way to disable the lockscreen quick settings in general or certain ones like flight,gps,data and wifi; without removing them from the quick settings?

5. is there a way to dsiable the lockscreen power menu (when holding the button for 3 secs)?

6. is there a way to disable powering off the phone by holding the power key for 10 seconds in general or e.g. when the screen is locked?

7. is there a way to remotely/programmatically enable gps on the device?

8. if I start messing wit the kernel and should f**k up badly, could the factory unbrick tool still fix it?

9. Could one or more of the previous things be achieved by an App(with root access) or by modifying the kernel? I do have quite some programming knowledge, sadly not with phones/android/linux yet - but Im willing to get into it.

Thats it for now, thanks if you have read this far.

Since I dont know that much about this topic in detail I would appreciate any help, information or correction of myself.

Greetings from Germany
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Macusercom:
1) Very easy. Only Google's welcome screen would ask to log in with the old account after a clean flash.

2) You can, but you shouldn't. Afaik it will say the device is compromised and display a red warning instead of the yellow one and won't boot.

3) No.

4) Use Cerberus Anti-Theft. That has it and a fake shutdown to make thieves think your device is off. Only a hard reset will make it turn on again but that's how you can track it if stolen.

5) Cerberus Anti-Theft again.

6) That's a hardware safety failure. So none that I know.

7) and 8) got lost lol

9) Cerberus Anti-Theft does that. Otherwise no.

10) Yes, fastboot boot would still work though I guess. At least on the other partition (A or B).

11) I'm not working for them but I recommend Cerberus again :p
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Hexxonite:
Seems like counting to 10 is pretty hard :D lol

I think its pretty sad that relocking the bootloader isnt possible (heard it was on the Nexus4 I believe?) but I guess the "boot"-issue makes that obsolete anyways \:

I just hope that companys will continue to strive for best customizability while improving on security details like these...

so whats left is to have faith in humanity I guess ^^

Anyways, thanks for the quick reply and happy new year I guess :)

P.S. gonna check out that Cerberus you talked about

Cerberus is one of the best antitheft apps out there.

I find the art is the same as my music app on the phone displays it, which is occasionally wrong. I use Samsung Music, so it's possible it gets it from that, or the active music player.

So heres the story, a friend of mine had a kyocera hydro view(c6742), and I bought it off of him because he was getting rid of it. Now, I want to mess with custom roms or maybe even postmarketOS, but anything I try does not boot the phone into fastboot mode. That being said, I dont know much about android devices because this is my first one(my next primary phone will probably be an android tho) so I dont know how to flash an image directly through dd(I tried finding the disk, I expected something like '/dev/sda' because it is linux, didnt find anything with the correct size, 8 gigabytes). I tried everything on these forums on this phone, but there is 1 thread about it so yeah. But, maybe, the qualcomm chip itself has a vuln discovered for booting whatever I want, because its an old msm8909(snapdragon 210). So, is there any way to get fastboot running on this thing so I can mess with the cool stuff?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groston:
All,

I am aware of the various apps for changing DNS server settings - that is not the question. I would like someone to explain how the default values are being set.

My home wireless access point supports three SSIDs and I have SSID_1 bridged to my router. Within the router, I have defined 1.1.1.1 and 208.67.222.222 as my DNS servers. When my phone (Pixe3 3XL) is connected to SSID_1, however, it shows the DNS servers as being 8.8.8.8 and 64.6.64.6. (FYI - I just rebooted my router in case that might have an impact, but ti didn't.)

However, when my phone connects to SSID_2, which is not bridged to the router, the DNS shows up as 10.255.224.1, which is the gateway address.

Oddly, my desktop PC, which gets it IP via DHCP (the address is reserved) and was configured for automatic CNS, also showed the DNS servers as being 8.8.8.8 and 64.6.64.6.

I logged into my cable modem, but there are no user adjustable settings there.

So, from whence come these DNS IP addresses?
