[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] MrJimbo:
Hi Geniuses in XDA!

A strange one for you if you are able to help I would appreciate it. (sooo much)

I was an Apple stalwart for years but got so fed up of them being so inflexible and pushing stupid iOS updates on users every other month I thought an Android Phone would be the way to go.

So many peeps said great things about the S7 so I researched it and after a short while saw that S7 Active would be a better choice than the S7 or S7 edge.

I bought a G891A phone from ebay as a refurb in September 2018, it was in great condition. Worked like a dream MUCH better than Apple stuff. Much faster, brilliant battery life and better everything!

Last week (Thursday evening 28th Feb to be exact) I was charging the phone as usual before sleeping and while holding the phone in my hand and the screen locked - it looked like it rebooted, I wondered why did this happen but no biggie so I left it without the charger connected until the morning.

When I picked up the phone to use it in the morn, the startup PIN would not work which has never happened before.

I carefully entered the PIN - no joy, and again and again, then I tried every different denomination of the same number no joy, then the stock 0000 and 000000 and 1234 and 123456 . nothing still locked.

Buy this time a message came up with the 'you have x tries left until a factory reset' - tried several google searches and found similar issues but not the exact same scenario.

Tried loading progs via the SD card that would disable the PIN or allow the password file in the OS to be deleted but none of these would work as I have the stock samsung recovery and not TWRP or similar so the 'not authorised error' would come up in recovery when trying to load anything I downloaded..

Eventually I just tried the same PIN again until the phone wiped and reset it self - no real issue I thought as I have a current full BU via google drive so I let the phone restore the backup to the phone partially, then I thought what if the backup doesn't contain all the stuff I want? So stopped and disabled google play and put the phone on airplane mode to prevent any further data being written to the phone and potentially over writing anything file that had been given a deletion marker by the filesystem..

I did this as my main method of storing records/notes about many things is via memos. and realised that the goggle drive stock backup does not include Memos or SMS Texts. ( I checked through the entire listing of what was backed up on the google backups)

No I didn't enable the Samsung backup just the google drive one :crying: BUT I WISH I DID NOW! :eek:

Anyway you lovely lot - is there any way I can ROOT this phone with minimal file overwriting damage so I can get in the FS and get to the deleted memos and sms texts in the internal memory of the phone and copy them elsewhere using ADB or software or similar?

I refuse to be defeated on this as its not an APPLE!

PLEEZ HALP!!!

Phone is running 7.0

Build is NRD90M.G891AUCS2BQH1

I hope I have been clear in explaining - Need any other info please ask!

Hi,

I read many articles for Stock Android and Custom UI Android.

There are many Custom UI Android like ColorOS (Oppo & Realme), EMUI (Huawei), Flyme (Meizu), Funtouch (Vivo), OxygenOS (OnePlus), MIUI (Xiaomi), Amigo OS (Gionee), etc.

No doubt, Custom UI Android provides more features and customization options.

And custom UI Android is good for those who want more options and customizations in android phone.

These days, we do more financial transactions on android phones and we keep banking apps in android phones.

In terms of security and privacy of personal data and financial transactions, I would like to understand security and privacy threat with Custom UI Android.

There are many Custom UI Android but I am concerned about MIUI 10, ColorOS 5.2 and Color OS 6.

Please be kind to elaborate and clarify it.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ctwftp:
I just started having an accelerometer issue. Suddenly my device started vibrating and turning the flash light on and off. Turns out the accelerometer was triggering the flashlight gesture. It is also screwing up my ability to use my camera because it thinks my phone orientation keeps changing. The only fix that I have found online is to do a factory reset but I am running TWRP and Nougat flashable stock build from here: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3813351

I have tried flashing a backup I have from a couple months ago but that didn't help. Any advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated. I do want to move up to Oreo but haven't taken the plunge yet because I need to research the issues with IMEI disappearing or something to that effect. I will do some research and maybe try to re-flash the Nougat stock build that I am running and see if that helps, after I backup all data.

There is definitely a privacy threat. Collecting user data seems to be a part of Xiaomi's business model.

One thing you can do is to disable as many of Xiaomi's apps as possible using ADB. Ad-blockers like blokada can also help.

IIRC now don't quote me on this, but Magisk from what I know allows the user to hide the fact that their device is rooted so that apps like GooglePay still work without detecting that the device has been modified. Not sure if it's the same with Samsung exclusive apps but I wouldn't risk it. If you use those features regularly I don't recommend it. But perhaps someone else might know more about this.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oggan:
I've been using a variety of automatic call recorders for years and recording calls have been indispensable for me.

I make and receive quite a lot of calls related to my job and I tend to forget details all the time, and so it's been great to just listen to the conversation again.

The quality of the recordings haven't been great, especially the voice of the other person but it has done the trick anyway.

I recently bought a Pocophone F1 and was pleasantly surprised that MIUI actually has a setting for turning on the native call recorder automatically so I wouldn't have to get an app to do it, but even better, the quality was *great*. Way better than any of the apps I've tried with any of the settings.

But today I flashed Lineage OS 16 because MIUI was bugging me for a bunch of reasons, but Lineage doesn't have such an option.

But not only that, no of the third party recorder apps I try work at all. I've now read that google has made it impossible for apps to record calls in Pie.

I can manually press the record button in the dialer app and that works fine, but the problem is that I have to manually activate it for each call and I know I'm not going to remember to do that, plus I don't even always have the possibility like when I'm driving or working with my hands and I answer using my headset.

Is there any way of making the native recorder activate automatically in Lineage OS like in MIUI or is there any other alternative?

Do I need to flash another rom if i need this?

Thanks in advance!

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] DeadPotato:
Just as any of my previous devices, I tried to install Cerberus on the OnePlus 6T. The simple fact you can't block the status bar without root is a bummer itself but it was to be expected, what wasn't expected is the fact even if you tap the option to hide the power menu from the lock screen, it is still visible for a fraction of a second and there is enough time to press the power or restart buttons before it hides.

So that makes me wonder, is there a better alternative to Cerberus that works well with the OnePlus 6T? Android native "find my device" is a joke because anyone can just turn off the Internet toggles from the lock screen and there goes the app coverage, was thinking about Prey but haven't tried it just yet. Any advice or recommendation is highly appreciated.

Have you properly applied the XML setting (step 8) after installing MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_04.02.19.12.54.apk?

Lag in viewfinder is cause by overloaded buffer in this version which is easily fixable either by applying XML as shown or by enabling the Buffer Fix switch in app Settings.

N.B.: If you want to have it working you need to follow the guide up to the letter, so whenever you get bored and want to try again just uninstall the current GCAM, restart your phone and start again.

The other one I use only for NightSight. This camera has problem with selfies, they have green tint. It also have Wide/Normal switch, ( just chage between selfie and back camera, and each time ju go back to main camera it will be diferent lense)

I'm satisfied with this phone, for me everything is perfect, but i found LG V35 for good price and I would like to konw if there is somebody with V35 who will try this two Gcams, and tell me does they work properly, or if there is some others which works good, because i wouldn't change V30 for v35 if I can't have good working Gcam.
