GSI Pixel Experience

I'm able to flash any gsi in the device (with arm 64- a/b partition) following the guide posted in the thread( by flashing twrp in the chinese version after unlock bootloader and simply deleting the system, userdata and cache, and flashing the .img of the GSI). Some features are failing, but the OS runs very well and the phone had a great performance. The things that don't work are:

- Bluetooth audio media (I,ve just solved it by deleting the BluetoothResCommon.apk file in the vendor partition (vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk) and making a full wipe of userdata and cache partitions using twrp before boot the first time the system) :)

- Vibrations (I don't have any idea of how it could be solved :confused: ). It just makes a strange sound. It seems like the vibration doesn't get the enough energy, any idea?

- Mirroring screen on projections (when I select a device to cast the screen, the device makes a softboot)

- When I try to make a bright adjust or the screen changes its bright via adaptive brightness, makes a kind of "flash-screen". This only happens on the Pixel Experience GSI 10, the Stock android 10 Image GSI doesn't.

- Lost (evidently) of the functionality of the button to activate the game launcher button and the led strip control. :(

- The last thing, in despite of that it could be a personal feel, is that the battery life decrease a little bit

All the other things are working properly. All the new features of android 10 and the pixel 4 are working :fingers-crossed:

In phhusson android 10 gsi the battery duration is the same as stock ROM i think, but i also have FDE.AI from magisk and greenify.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] alanzaki073:
Does the fan work as the game launcher is broken?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Perseo99:
No

No... I tried to backup the game launcher and the strip led from china version and restore them in the GSI but it didn't work. So the fan, the game launcher button and the led strip don't work anyway at the moment. There is posted on another thread the way to install the Game Launcher so I' will try to install here but, as he said, there is the possibility that i couldn't work.

EDIT:

I followed this guide to unpack the system.img of the global version 2.15 to extract the game launcher. To convert the system.new.dat.br into a system.new.dat file use the follow command in the terminal (linux) in the folder where you put the system.new.dat.br file

brotli -d system.new.dat.br -o system.new.dat

After that, I put the game launcher in the folder system-root/system/app via twrp. So, it appears like a normal launcher. But, for some reasons, it just doesn,t work. I can't enter in the game interface or can't expand the panel control (I tried too to install the Control Center and the Game Launcher Settings in the system-root/system/priv-app but the phone stucks in a charge screen that tells "Phone is starting". I don't know if it needs lo load some minutes or what. About the Led strips, I tried to put the apk into the system/priv-app folder, but anything happened. Any idea? :rolleyes:
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Irwan Fauzi:
This requires stock framework to work.. I tried it before you can install the APK but it's just an APK.. only way is if someone can mod stock framework to work with gsi IMG or ported it..
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Perseo99:
Yes... I thought it too. I found this guide that explains how to make something similar but I don't really understand how to do it. Hope to find a way to make the game space and the leds compatibles with gsi.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Irwan Fauzi:
That guide looks promising..

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hullflyer:
Hi, I want to get a 3A XL, and I need to stay on Verizon (major discount from my work). Verizon is notorious for blocking root attempts. If I get an unlocked phone (from Amazon, for example) and root it before I bring it to a store to get on the network, will I be able to keep it rooted? Any warnings or advice?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Blaiser47:
No issues here. I bought unlocked off Amazon, put in old sim, went online to active, and all good. Haven't rooted yet but no reason being on their network will effect that once you enable oem unlock, which worked just fine once activated.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
I got my 3a xl unlocked from Best buy and it works great on Verizon. WiFi calling works as well. I am rooted with my bootloader unlocked as well
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Only the Verizon branded Pixel's have issues being rooted... if you buy the unlocked version from Google, Amazon, B&H, Newegg, etc. you will have zero issues rooting it before or after activating it on Verizon's network.

Just don't buy one from Verizon or one of it's authorized sellers (like Best Buy) who tell you need the Verizon to work right, they are wrong and there is nothing the Verizon model has that the other ones do not, except some bloatware and a unlockable bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
Are you implying that Best buy isn't selling the Google version of the unlocked pixel 3a/xl? Cause you are gravely mistaken.

I and several people have bought the Google unlocked version from Best buy and have no issues unlocking the bootloader or rooting. All OP needs to do it is walk to best buy and ask for the unlocked version and he will walk out of there with the Google version and he won't have issues rooting or unlocking the device.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Not at all, of course they sell the unlocked version... But they also sell the Verizon one as well, as they are a Verizon authorized dealer too.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
There is no reason to say to avoid best buy then, all OP needs to do is tell them he wants an unlocked version and they will sell him it and all OP needs to do is move their sim over from their old phone to the pixel.

It's not like he's going to a wireless republic or something where they only sell the Verizon version of the phone.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Honestly, I love Best Buy... Reread what I said... Don't buy a Verizon one even if they tell you need that one. It is a common trope, but perhaps my example retailer could have been better.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
Best buy employees don't get paid commission so they have no reason to tell you what phone to buy, just tell them what you want and they will sell it to you.

Tbh the best way to get a pixel 3a xl right now is to go to best buy, buy the unlocked phone and get the $100 savings by opening a new Sprint account then immediately canceling the line after you get it activated(porting the number to Google voice would be the easiest way to close the sprint account) since you can cancel within 14 days without paying anything to Sprint.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Isn't there an activation fee associated with opening a new line? I believe at BB you can buy the unlocked version and then activate it on Verizon for $430? So it's basically another $20 to avoid all the nonsense of activating / canceling / porting to GV etc. But to [MENTION=2001582]acejavelin[/MENTION] point, and a good one at that, make sure it's not the Verizon version and be very clear about that. I'd even activate it at the store then go into dev options and make sure the OEM switch is active. If not tell them you don't want it, that's not what you paid for. Even though BB employees don't get commission some of them are clueless as to the difference of unlocked carrier vs. unlockable bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
If you cancel before the 2 weeks you don't pay that, you only pay an activation fee after the first months bill for new lines. And activating on sprint is the way to go cause even if you have to pay their $20 activation fee you still save $80, people have done this on Reddit and they don't pay activation fees if canceled within the first 2 weeks. The only reason you do a port out as well is because Sprint makes it an absolute pain in the butt to cancel a new account so instead of dealing with their customer service you just port the number out and that cancels the line for you
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I don't know man. Sounds too complicated and too many things can go awry. (it's a $30 fee btw) See on one hand you say you pay an activation fee after the first month's bill. (are you sure about that?) And on the other hand you say "even if you have to pay..." Well which is it? Have you done it or just taking Reddit posters at their word?

So just to go over your math, $30 activation fee that you might have to pay, Verizon activation at BB the device is $50 off, so you're really only talking about $20 not $80. And you then get to avoid canceling, penalties, and all around agita for 20 bucks. If he were saving $200 then it's quite another story. Anyway, the device is great and it's even worth it at full price without the $50 you might or might not save.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
That's why you take the time and activate it with Sprint instead of Verizon this way you save the $70(assuming they charge you worst case) and not 20 I agree saving $20 for all that work is stupid however putting in a little bit of effort to save $70 would be worth it but it's not like you'd be saving the 70 you'd save 100 because Sprint will not charge you an activation fee if you cancel the line within 2 weeks. It's part of their satisfaction guarantee policy every cell phone carrier has, cancel within 2 weeks and pay for what you used if you didn't like the service and you just pay for what you used (mobile data, calls and texts) so as long as you don't use the service you'll walk out owing them $0

People have done it on Reddit and apparently it's not an uncommon thing. The reason why you would activate with Sprint and not a different carrier is because of the $100 savings you're going to cancel the line anyways, why bother only doing it for $50 when you can do it for $100 and it's the same amount of work.

It's a pita but with some of their activate now deals it's worth it had a friend do it with his Galaxy s10e, activated the phone with Sprint and canceled saving $150 for that phone and then he did a trade in promo at best buy where he got $200 for his LG G6 if he was getting the s10e. Idk why I didn't do it when I got my pixel 3a xl but I regret it, being able to save $100 for a little bit of work would have been worth it imo.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
It says "save $100 if you activate today". So you're saying they will refund you the $30 with no questions asked? I can see them not billing you for zero usage but how long does it take to get your $30 back? So let's just assume that you don't get the activation fee back or you have to fight for it and spend hours on the phone with them. Still worth it? I'm just not one into scams like this but that's just me. I guess if you really need the 20 or 50 bucks then it's worth it. Maybe. lol
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] luigi90210:
You pay the activation fee after your first month's bill is generated and that's paid to the carrier and not to Best buy. you cancel the line before your first month's bill is able to generate. That's why you don't get charged an activation fee
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] PGHammer:
One option (at any Verizon Authorized Dealer - it applies to Verizon stores as well) is to port an existing Verizon number if you have one- my mom has, in fact, done this before when changing phones. (I am trying to talk her into getting a 3a XL for herself - I offered to pay the freight for Mothers' Day - and she turned me down.) I'm looking to get a 3a XL (for my birthday) - but in my case, it will be from Best Buy (because I'm with Tracfone) and will be doing the three-step (phone and nano-SIM from Best Buy, but the case will come from Amazon). Okay - why Amazon for the case? Simple - it's the same case that I have for my current S7 (SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE) - and Amazon is the ONLY e-tailer that carries them at a decent price - Best Buy doesn't carry them at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xSmooth-:
Hello XDA users.

Last week my beloved sister passed away in her fight against cancer.

She was doing well but unexpectedly got ill from the chemo.

All her affairs are in order except for her "secure folder".

Normally it says "Reset PIN" on the bottom.

Unfortunately that disappeared after 2/3 login attempts. (By her BF and my other sister)

The reason why we're trying to access it, is because we're backing-up her phone.

What are my options to access the folder?

I have full access to her phone & Samsung account.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PoochyX:
Sorry about your sister I believe it's possible to access the secure folder threw her Samsung account

Is there a way to force PTP mode instead of it defaulting back to no data transfer?

It is just a PITA to have to change that every time I am trying to debug something and have to reboot several times.

If it is something obvious, feel free to smack me down, but keep in mind I come from the LG world, and this is my first OP phone.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sapalot:
Hey guys, so i had weird problem (status bar not visible after unlocking device) when updating my phone to 9.5.8. so i decided to flash the rom again to see if the issue goes away. I am rooted and unlocked and everything was working fine (apart from the status bar). I tried this method:

1. Downloaded the 9.5.8 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)

2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.

3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)

*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.

4. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"

5. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option

6. Reboot once completed

On step 6 it failed, i rebooted directly into the Oneplus recovery and not TWRP. So i tried fastboot boot twrp.img and flash the installer. After that i rebooted the device and now it goes directly into twrp but without decryption, it wont ask for my PIN and i get the screen "Unmodified System Partition. Keep System Read only? Installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition." On the bottom i can "swipe to allow modifications", which i swipe to allow but i can't access any files on my phone, and that is my dead end. Help would be much appreciated.

I also tried flashing Magisk and also Magisk Uninstaller (uninmod wasn't found).

Also tried command "twrp decrypt password" in the Terminal and got "Failed to decrypt data"
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] reaper000:
So to be clear: right now, you have access to twrp but not the data partition (twrp does not prompt you to decrypt), and when you reboot to system from, you are bounced back to twrp. Right?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sapalot:
Yes, but i got frustrated and as i had done a Titanium Backup i just wiped everything on stock recovery and flashed the latest rom with twrp. Is there a clear instruction on how to update the rom when rooted? I just don't want it to happen again.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] reaper000:
Don't mess with stock recovery if you already have TWRP and Magisk aboard.

Here's how to update to 9.5.9 (or whatever) when it arrives:

- download your 3 zips: the latest full ota ROM, the latest Magisk, and the latest TWRP installer.

- boot to TWRP recovery

flash the ROM and TWRP installer

- reboot to TWRP recovery

flash Magisk

wipe dalvik

- reboot to system

There's a possibility after these steps and you're happily on the ROM, you might find that you're not rooted (it's more likely on a custom ROM than OOS). In which case you just reboot to recovery and flash Magisk, and then reboot to system. Done.

Discussion:

If you want a clean flash, you'd simply do a TWRP factory reset (standard wipe) instead of wiping dalvik.

Consider flashing both slots (A and B) whenever you update OOS, for two reasons. First, you don't have to keep track of which slot has which version of OOS should you flash a custom ROM or kernel with a specific version of OOS required as a base. The second reason is more compelling: the way the data partition changes encryption every update has obviated the reason for A/B slots, in that if newly updated B changes data encryption upon boot and then something happens, you cannot revert to A because A can't read the new data encryption. So the solution is to update both A and B at the same time so both slots use the same encryption and can both access the data partition.

Or like me, run the device decrypted (i. e. without forced encryption).

Good luck

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] TheZakDroid:
It hasn't worked for me but it's worth trying. A fix that was given on another forum was to unmount the Data partition. It didn't work with me but maybe it will with you? Or (I haven't tried yet) you could try restoring the backup in an older version of the recovery (because this is a problem with 3.1.0 and 3.1.1).

Once Scene Optimiser is active, and when the Galaxy S10 recognises a lack of light, it will switch to Galaxy S10 Night Scene Night Scene.

[Android Auto General] Dracoster:
Considering going for a Xtrons TQ709IPL (PX6) after reading up on the Joying Intels.

But I have questions before jumping the gun:

Is the USB limited to Xtrons dongles (like Joying)?

Is the USB expandable with a hub?

Does it have a DSP?
[Android Auto General] ghost010:
Usb hub? Most likely because it (like almost all others) uses basic usb protocol.. there is literally only 1 USB controller on the pcb, so you are already splitting that( and thats no issue with usb).

As far as i know, no DSP.

The first question i also like to know.. same for Bluetooth odb2.

This could be fixed with a custom rom i suppose.
