[Samsung Galaxy Watch] johninsf:
I just purchased the Galaxy Watch Active and have a few questions about Bluetooth & wireless connectivity. I hope someone can share their experience with me.

1. Should the watch always be connected to Bluetooth on my phone? Or, only connected when I want to sync to S-Health, install a new watch face, et. al.?

2. If I desire to connect my phone to another Bluetooth device (Ticpods, speaker), must I disconnect from the watch?

Q: Is this standard practice?

--- Yes, I can connect 2 devices to my Note9 but curious if there are any connectivity implications with both devices connected.

(I am thinking in terms of Fitbit Versa where phone Bluetooth is not connected(from what I could tell) even though FB Versa shows as choice in Bluetooth devices.)

3. I have not set up wireless yet and will do so this evening when home.

Q: What are the different use cases for Wireless vs. Bluetooth on the SWA?

FYI - I am an XDA old-timer but a newbie to this watch. Your feedback is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey all -

Have a question.

I want to call the Camera intent, but have the camera save to a custom file.

I've read this: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/files#WriteExternalStorage

And the only two options it gives is 'Save to a public directory" (like \Pictures, \Ringtones, etc), or "Save to a Provate Directory".

The latter sounds like it's what I want to do - but mentioned 'getExternalFilesDir()' function retrieves my application's custom data directory (which is (1)removed when the app is uninstalled, and (2)difficult to find when the phone is plugged into a computer - to copy the saved files from.)

What I'd REALLY wanna do is save my files to a root directory in the external storage. (Like, "/<sdcard mount path>/PicLogger/<file>").

Anyone know of a guide, or examples that show how to save images through the camera into a custom directory like this?

Thanks!

-Mike
[Java for Android App Development] dreamingincode:
You can save the file wherever you want, given that you have permission to write to SD card, by passing the file URI as MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT in the MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent. See Save the full-size photo.

That being said, you should prefer something like "DCIM/YourAppName" or "Pictures/YourAppName", which apps like Google PhotoScan etc have been doing.

new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM), "YourAppName")

Apps should not create their own directories directly under the SD card root directory, and if they want to make something visible to user, it should be under one of the standard directories, preferrably under a subdirectory named after your app.

Or if you want to support scoped storage since Q, you can check out this SO answer.

Hi.i'm newbie .sorry for my incorrect questions .

I have xiaomi Redmi go. Goal is to disable or better to erase Factory Reset button from Settings.apk.

My knowledge in programming of this is about 0.

I tried:

1. Unpack settings.apk as zip and just delete some master clear xml. It causes error ,when I push on this item in settings

2. Decompile , change reset_dashboard_fragment

Compile . But can't push it back ,settings disappeared.

I don't know what exactly should I do ,to get to my goal. I tried to find it on xda ,GitHub.
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Can do it for you :svetius:

And I 'll detail you how I did that.

Just give me the setting.apk file

My a little busy right now but in 1 day and 4 hours I'll be able to do it.

[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Just downloaded it.

Is it the unmodified version ?

And in your phone, when you go, in order to get the file, to /system/priv-app/settings, do you see any other file in the folder ?
[General Questions and Answers] 1nst1g4t0r:
That is one non modified straight from the phone.nothing else in this folder .
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Alright ?
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Disclaimer: Do a backup before applying any of the modification regarding system files.

What your going to do may harm your device, from now on, you are the only responsible for any damages caused to your phone.

I couldn't test this, so it may be crappy.

But don't worry, just a quick backup with your custom recovery and it should be fine

Few questions before I give you the file:

1)Are you rooted?

2)Do you have a custom recovery?

3)Is your bootloader unlocked?

4)Do you know who to backup and restore your system and your data using TWRP or another custom recovery?

5)Is this essential for you to have the factory reset option gone?

If you want to see what I did, click the button ;)

How I did:

To know how to install apktool , go to their website here : ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/

Warning: all of this shall be done in one single folder

Decompiled Settings.apk using apktool 2.4.0

apktool d Settings.apk

Headed to the out put folder and to the layout folder :

Opened the file called "master_clear.xml" with notepadd++ (or some others code editing programs)

Headed to the line just before last one.

Added:

android:visibility="gone"

Recompiled the APK while keeping the original signature , using this command :

apktool b Settings -c

The -c is to keep the signature unchanged, needed when you modify system files.

What you need to do in order to apply the changes is just to replace your settings.apk file with the one I will give you.

In order to replace the file, go to :

And rename the "Settings.apk" file into "Settings.apk.bak"

Then copy/paste the APK I'll give you in the same folder

Finally restart your phone and cross the fingers.

When you'll answer my question above, I'll give you the file, because I don't want you to break your device just because you were too excited to hit your goal.

Have a nice day :)

I see my mistake. I was wrong in compile file back .

I didn't use -c command.

Also I didn't know about android:visibility="gone".

Despite u give me file ,I LL try to do it by myself .

Question #2 to the GOD who showed me so easy way to do it.

ScreenCast icon turn off. I don't want to use systemui and open establisher. If I understand right ,xml I need is in framework_res.apk . Can u tell me the name of it and will the same method work. Is it media_route or what?

Thx
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Here you go for Settings

Just extract the APK from the archive.

For your screen cast question, I think I wouldn't be able to help you, because the issue might be caused by the java code itself or something, that's not my field.

What I can do is modify the xml files to make some interface looking better or as the user wish it.

Your issue requires to look into the bug and I'm not able to do that, sorry.

But you still have the Settings.apk, enjoy it ;)
[General Questions and Answers] 1nst1g4t0r:
U did great ,thank u sir.

And about screen cast ,if I'll delete or replace with transparent all screen cast icon .png files from framework-res.apk. will it helps? What do you think.
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
I think that it could work, give it a try ?

Edit #1:

Didn't thought about this answer, don't do that, this will cause you a lot of trouble

Please try instead to find the exact cast screen icon and replace it with a transparent png, that could get the job done :svetius:

I replaced settings.apk which u gave me. Got same problem. It disappears from panel. All settings dissapeared , icon. Any suggestions ?
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
I'm not sure to understand, you're using the settings.apk that I gave ?

And if yes, what disappeared? The only thing I've done was to make the button disappear, so I don't understand what's going on.

Is the settings icon disappeared from your app drawer? Or, in the settings, something disappeared?

Can you send me screenshots please, so I can see what wrong
[General Questions and Answers] 1nst1g4t0r:
I've done everything back. The icon of settings app disappeared from draw.

Exactly this icon disappeared
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Oh, so that's not my settings.apk you're using right?

That's the APK you made to erase the cast icon, is it?
[General Questions and Answers] 1nst1g4t0r:
That's yours settings.apk

I didn't start to edit screen cast
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
I've seen the screenshot, but it seems that the settings icon is here in your app drawer ( tell me if I'm wrong)

And can you share another screenshot showing the inside of the settings app ( where the factory reset is supposed to be) as well as a screenshot of what's wrong please ?
[General Questions and Answers] 1nst1g4t0r:
Yep. Its back here ,cause I replaced it back with original. Give me some time , I'll change to yours and show u screen. Also will show u menu

Hey guys!

I'm in Australia, and looking at 2 versions of the OP7pro.. A GM1910 with flashed OS, or the GM1913 which i understand is the official international version.

Is there any risk with either? I'm assuming they both have the correct bands and should be no issues.

Thanks in advance for any help :good:

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alexander宇:
As far as I know the Chinese version GM1910 and international versions all have the same bands. American variant is the only one that has different (more) LTE bands. You can switch to OOS from HOS by simply placing OOS update zip to sdcard, going to OTA update menu and run a local upgrade. I got mine(8+256) from the offical Chinese Oneplus website for about an equivalent of 655 USD tax and shipping (China domestic shipping) included.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braadleyah:
As in the title, I have an, Alcatel Tcl Lx A502dl, Android phone, originally purchased from Walmart with a Trackfone Sim card (Now there is no sim card insterted).

I have spent all day, up until now, figuring out how to link abd and fastboot to the phone using USB debugging, and I have been successful this far. I had downloaded latest "platform-tools_r29.0.1-windows" from here on XDA, and I downloaded latest "fatsboot" from "HighonAndroid.com", for a quicker experience, without wasting time and effort on Java downloads. In addition to all this, I let the computer search the network for updating driver software, for my Alcatel phone. I also downloaded "UniversalAdbDriverSetup", from the former link, [MENTION=5930914]highonandroid[/MENTION].com.

I linked both file pathways for corresponding "Fastboot", and "platform-tools", into the environment variables, under the term: "Path", yes, using a ";" with no spaces to add the new pathways.

I had success linking my phone onto the "abd" program, the phone is listed under "abd devices" command. I could not seem to get a listing of my phone serial number, under the "fastboot devices" command?

I have tried to get "platform-tools" to put the phone into "fastboot/bootloader" mode, but the phone simply reboots, back to the lockscreen. I have also tried on "Fastboot", to "fastboot reboot bootloader", and my Alcatel again reboots to the lockscreen. All the while, I activated the OEM unlocking switch/setting in the "developer options" of my phone, from the beginning, before I ever gave any commands?

Why won't my Alcatel phone reboot into the "fastboot/bootloader" screen, where I could command "fastboot oem unlock"? Why does my phone respond to both programs, yet still she loads the lockscreen?

I am new to all this, not really a tech savvy individual, just wanted a liberated operating system for my line of work...

I need bootloader unlocked in order to root my device via computer, correct?

I can not check to see if my bootloader is unlocked, not by abd tools, or by numerical code in my "dialer app". The app crashes, and any time I attempt the "fastboot oem device-info" command, no device is listed, only a <looking for a device> prompt of sorts appears. I have been told this may be because, the drivers were not installed properly, or the device was not properly connected under some other issue, and I can try to fix this error by reinstalling drivers... what would the issue be?

I need help, and I would appreciate some guidance on rooting my Android, as there are not any threads in the forum, on this model of Alcatel, that I am aware of?

I am doing all of this on a Windows 7 computer, in a Library, just so you all know. I ask for administrative approval for most things.

Thank you.

I could do another seriously in parentheses, but you need to take my word for it w/o a bunch of examples. The bright spot is the vulnerability the device has to the mtk-su exploit. Get a # in like no time at all. Time elapsed from executing the file to getting the prompt is too short for my flesh computer to register (unless you -v, then about 1.5 seconds.)
