[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] dbccpc:
Hello guys,

This is my first post, so thanks for any help before hand.

I have one of the phones that came with the infamous Oxygen bootloader.

And i am loking for help in order to update it to latest release avaliable.

I am on the android version 7.1.2, MiUI v9.0.3.0, my phone identifies itself as 5x, but from my understanding the only difference between the 2 version is the fingerprint sensor and a few cellular band support .

My ROM is a custom ROM that i found in another forum and flashed trought the miflash application.

I am not sure about the rom version yet, because the A1 has android Pie now, and the ROM for the X5 is still Oreo with the MiUI 10, so i am open to suggestions.

I would prefer to transform my phone into a A1 and get ride of the Oxygen bootloader if possible.

Ofc the best option is the safest way and the one that dosen t cripple my phone, because right now it works perfectly fine as day one, with exception to the battery lifetime, but i guess thats normal for a phone with 15 months.

Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sengork:
Having ran NetGuard in logging mode for a few days now I've noticed that many of Samsung's in-built services are contacting web services associated at multiple DNS subdomains under:

- *.360.cn

- *.cloud.360safe.com

A lot of them on unsecured HTTP port 80 (some go via HTTPS port 443).

Services I've observed this behaviour so far are:

- Samsung ApexService

- ANT+ HAL Service

- Application installer (com.sec.android.preloadinstaller)

- Assistant Menu

- AirCommandManager (com.samsung.android.aircommandmanager)

- Plus too many other default services to list (most of which cannot be disabled)

Phone's running on stock unbranded SM-N960F build number PPR1.180610.011.N960FXXU2CSA2.

I've scanned the phone using bundled Device Care's McAfee security scan with no findings.

Has anyone else observed this behaviour?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I haven't looked at this as closely as you have,but,I'm guessing it's all tied-in from the Device Maintenance section of the phone.

The name of the company Samsung is currently in bed with is QIHOO:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4165136-cheetah-mobile-lost-samsung-relevant-risks

Remember/heard of Cheetah Mobile (of Clean Master infamy) ?

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...mobile-security-and-innovation-300043298.html

Well,that's who used to be in partnership w/Samsung & the Device Maintenance aka built-in Clean Master to most,if not all Samsung mobile products.

Fast-Forward to present day & we still have the crapware on our phones,likely scraping info & selling it to anyone interested.

Now,it's just with another company,presumably one with friendlier terms for Samsung.

As you've probably noticed,you can't fully disengage/disable/deny all permissions here,less root (or ADB disabling/package disabler apps).

At least you have a phone that's rootable & can cruise the ROM scene for one that leaves this crap off the phone.

If root isn't an option:

Set up your phone & apps,fine-tune as you like for battery optimization on a per app basis/permissions/etc....

Then,either via ADB or a package disabler,disable the apps responsible for the crapware,especially the ones related to Device Maintenance.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/galaxy-note-9-bloatware-removal-thread-t3857508

Follow the link in the OP to the S9/S9+ forum/thread,it gives a better idea of what each .apk actually is/ties into.

Here's the app I use to disable crapware/things I don't use:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakasoftware.appfreezer

As to which apps to disable,the S9/S9+ thread,while not an exact match,should give you info on what to disable to stop the phone from pinging the 360 mothership & hopefully,not having any ill effects on the apps you want to keep on-board.

If you want a better idea of how each app is interconnected throughout the phone,use these two apps to take a look:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubqsoft.sec01

SD Maid (Pro):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm&hl=en_US

(See the App Control & file manager sections of SD Maid for detailed app info).

Anyhoo,back to curbing the nonsense:

Whichever method you use to disable,should you choose to do so,start with this one:

com.samsung.android.lool (Device Maintenance).

This will make the entire Device Maintenance section inaccessible as well.

That is why I suggest disabling vs outright uninstalling (which necessitates a factory reset to get it back).

You may need to access Device Maintenance for whatever reason from time to time,hence the recommendation for disabling vs uninstalling.

Continue monitoring for a day or so & see if the pinging to the Mothership subsides,or hopefully puts a full-stop to it.

Please keep us updated on what,if any actions you take w/the results. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
:good: THX for the update,much appreciated! :good:

I was gonna post this in a bit (just noticed it myself this afternoon,LOL) ,but,it looks like you have added the other two .apks to your disabled list:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78103170&postcount=123

It'a a shame the mfgs aren't required to be more up-front & state ,in common use language where the print is larger than a gnat's ass, the exact nature of the .apks & even more control over the services installed on them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sengork:
The closest to a manufacturer application list I came across was:

- https://support.samsungknox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015195728-Common-Criteria-Mode

- For example https://docs.samsungknox.com/CCMode/N960F_O.pdf

This seems to relate to computer security certification known as Common Criteria:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Criteria

So the dial home behaviour seems to have passed this security certification (or perhaps the network flows were not part of the certification process). We can only guess...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sengork:
I've had to reenable the following items to get APK installs to function (either through Play Store or locally stored APKs):

com.samsung.android.sm.policy
com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9...val-thread-t3857508/post78744845#post78744845

Continuing to monitor with NetGuard. So far ~1hr I haven't seen the packets repeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
IIRC,something like this was mentioned in the S9/S9+ debloat thread.

I didn't mention it earlier as you hadn't reported any issues,but,glad you were able to figure it out/find the same info I'd stumbled upon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sengork:
Well after a day of usage I can say that battery life is poorer without "com.samsung.android.lool". I've enabled it again now and blocked its domains via Adhell 3:

360.cn
360safe.com
*.360.cn
*.360safe.com

Furthermore I have disabled its WiFi and Mobile network access in Adhell 3. However this block is bypassed whenever applications using Android's native VPN facility are switched on so its not absolutely fool proof. Similar blocking can be done using NetGuard itself as long as you keep it switched on and filtering continuously.

I'll keep an eye on which other domains it attempts to contact.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
How much of a difference in battery life are we talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sengork:
It felt to be about 20%. Is Pie without Device Maintenance expected to put applications to sleep? I am guessing sleep is the major factor here (opposed to cleaning up caches and other storage capacity functions of Device Maintenance app).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I would like to think so,hoping Device Maintenance isn't ingrained to the level where it breaks the native Doze feature in Android.

JMHO,Device Maintenance seems to be just like Clean Master,running on top of Android/counterproductive,putting a hat on a hat,so to speak,LOL.

I haven't had a Nexus device since the N6 & never had a Pixel,but,I'm pretty sure none of 'em have DM..................................

Whenever I decide to update to Pie,I'm going to continue as I am now:

Battery Optimize all apps that I don't rely on for auto-updating or push notifications & then disabling Device Maintenance.

If something starts acting up,only then do I re-enable DM,take a look at Battery Optimizing for whatever is affected & again,disabling DM.

Guessing you've just recently updated to Pie.......

If it were me,I'd continue to disable DM & give the new OS upgrade a week or so,see what your battery life looks like then.

Battery life loss could be due to some user-installed apps that aren't playing nice w/Pie & not due to DM being disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hinnn:
You will find the logo or text "powered by 360" on storage screen in Samsung device management app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sengork:
I have taken your advise a few weeks ago and have concluded that removing DM whilst manually optimising all individual apps has resulted in no battery loss (in fact it has probably improved but this is within a margin of error). Thanks for your guidance.

[Asus Zenfone Selfie Questions & Answers] dothackjhe:
So, I was following this procedure in wanting to get past the device's dead-end when going in a fastboot mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk5pl2aE8IQ

I had to go through this method in order to install TWRP to the phone and subsequently even be able to flash a custom ROM in it. The latest version of the stock OS caused my phone not to hold a stable Wi-Fi connection for some reason which Asus did not bother to fix. Otherwise, I will not even consider flashing a custom ROM.

As it appears, the hosted files needed for the flashing is incomplete in that the "asdf.img" is missing. This resulted to a brick that caused the phone not to charge, not to boot normally, or not go to recovery/fastboot mode.

However, I could still hear a sound whenever I try to connect the phone to the PC and automatically prompts to install a driver but would not.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Sending the phone to an Asus Service Center is not really an option for me right now. So, please, do not suggest that.

First look is very good - so far it's the first current ROM that, with no extra tweaking, passes SafetyNet, doesn't have DHCP problems with wireless, and shows the Voicemail option in the Phone app on Verizon.

A couple issues:

1. The Power menu screen recording button doesn't work - nothing happens. It does work if you long-press the Quick Tile, but 1280x720 seems to be the highest resolution. Any chance of enabling 1920x1080?

2. Call recording doesn't work, it just says "failed to start call recording."

Lastly, a request - how about proximity speakerphone in the Phone app? Or is there some way to add that functionality?

Thanks!

Small Doubt / Suggestion!

English:

99% Perfect

I've tested practically all the ROMs in this forum, and this ROM expires from all others, but as I'm a bit annoying I'm not in it for just one function that I did not find: the possibility to change the color of the notifications to dark. A competitor of hers owns but she does not. I would like to know if this option is even unavailable in the ROM or was my lack of attention when looking for it.

If it's a missing function, I'd suggest adding;

If you find that you own or you add, I will immediately return to you along with my clients. I await a response and thank you in advance! :)

Português (Brazilian):

99% Perfeita

Eu testei praticamente todas as ROMs deste fórum, e esta ROM vence disparada de todas as outras, porém como sou um pouco chato não estou nela por apenas uma unica função que não encontrei: a possibilidade de mudar a cor das notificações para dark. Uma concorrente dela possui porém ela não. Gostaria de saber se essa opção está mesmo indisponivel na ROM ou foi falta de atenção minha ao procurá-lo.

Caso seja uma função em falta, sugeria adicionar;

Caso descubra que possui ou vocês adicionem eu imediatamente voltarei para ela juntamente com meus clientes. Aguardo uma resposta e agradeço desde já! :)
