Here is my config files for debian.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ccziy42yj2bn28x/LINUX.zip

(Include precompiled mtev driver from meefik https://github.com/meefik/xorg-input-mtev

Also it set wacom driver for spen to work

)

kernel .config

https://www.mediafire.com/file/czrct62638xpkhz/.config

And debian install cdrom

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/arm64/iso-cd/

installation was little tricky, need to install linuxdeploy compile kernel with atleast isofs, systemv-ipc, vt console, kernel automounter-v4, fanotify and raid-dm support and put it to recovery.img, then dd it to BOOT partition.

Now download debian-installer.iso, extract ramdisk.gz from him and reboot to modified recovery.

Here mount system, go to terminal, type linuxdeploy shell.

Now we must unpack ramdisk.gz from installer with abootimg or mkbootimg, mount debian-installer.iso to unpacked-ramdisk/cdrom and then we can chroot to installer ramdisk with chroot /unpacked-ramdisk /bin/ash

After that just type

./init

debian-installer-startup

debian-installer

Use sdcard as root partition and install.

After installing base system it probably fail to setup apt, so we must open terminal in setup program then

mount --bind /cdrom /target/media/cdrom (need to create that dir first)

then

chroot /target /bin/bash

apt-cdrom add

apt-get update

Now you can run tasksel and install desktop (kde xfce and gnome work but need lightdm for virtual keyboard on login)

(Here is nice place to copy those config files i posted and run install.sh, but also be sure to install lightdm and onboard keyboard, its not in my pack)

after that type exit few times until you get back to installer where you can finish installation.

Then need to compile kernel make initrd and create boot.img (can be done in linuxdeploy on android)

Also copy /vendor from phone to installed system then wifi start working and we can install from netinst-cd with little less trouble, or install to .img maybe even folder from internal_sdcard, its much faster than booting from memory card
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sisah:
Here is my fresh install of debian stretch and kde, only modification is in lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, 40-libinput.conf, xorg.conf (not needed much), /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local (hardcoded root partition and loop .img for boot) and added framebuffer_refresh systemd service. To install just unpack .zip to root of /data (sda25) and flash linux-boot.img to boot partition.

Sound, USB, and 24bit colors are still broken, but maybe still better than linux on dex :) with some hardware graphics acceleration like panfrost driver it may be better than my pc :)

Root - 16GB .img after unpack

Hi everyone, in the last few months I have personally worked on this project, inspired by the great utility that Disqus has in this community. I have developed a client that allows you to manage Disqus accounts, as already happened until January 2019 in an official way on iOS, with support for Inbox notifications and most of the functions available on the site.

It is a project that I have undertaken on my own... Consequently I kindly ask you to leave feedback and reviews to improve the application that has not seen a prolonged testing phase...

Since I'm a new user I can't post links, so I kindly ask to go check it out on the Play Store

AT&T preparing to offer insurance for all devices

Posted by Joshua Karp on May 19, 2008 8:39 am 18 comments Filed in AT&T, BlackBerry, Services

Soon the days of worrying about accidental damage to your ATT Tilt, or other PDA device, will be long gone. While we have yet to confirm this with AT&T themselves, it looks like the wireless company is getting ready to roll out a new insurance program that will cover all of the devices that they currently offer. Previous insurance programs have only been available for low-cost phones, with high-end smartphones left out to dry. Beginning June 2nd, however, that will be a thing of the past. For $4.99/month, subscribers can secure a replacement device should their current handset suffer some unmentionable fate. Better yet, the new plan only requires a $50 deductible for replacement. Good news all around, folks.

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VirgilWoods:
There are so many independant insurers out there that are doing the same thing, except they charge an upfront cost of 60 dollars for the year instead of monthly payments of 5 dollars.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wilsonzone:
This is good news, thanks for the heads up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NFRCER:
Can we insure previous used tilt's? or it has to be new from the box?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fortis10:
Hi.

I have problem with proximity sensor. While making a phone call, display is always on.

I tried to enable it in settings. Turned it on, rebooted my phone and nothing happened.

Also tried *#*#6484#*#* solution, and when I open proximity sensor, there are 'test' and 'error' buttons on the screen and I can't click anything.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] stanley56:
In the engineering menu * # * # 6484 # * # * we find 27 - Proximity sensor

When approaching the palm to the front camera should show "0".

I always showed "5", did not want to be calibrated.

I pressed Error, went out and went to the engineering menu, a miracle happened - it was calibrated.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fortis10:
No, nothing happened. As usuall, screen is always on.

Yes, proximity sensor in settings was on and I have rebooted the phone.

I really don't know what to do. Is it because of bug in Global Rom or is it hardware malfunction?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] DelphinusMinor:
Hold your phone with your left hand. The placement sensor gets blocked by your right ear when you make calls using your right hand. Give it a go and get back to us.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fortis10:
Ok, non-related to left and right hand.. Now my phone gets black screen all the time during calls. I can't put it on speaker or do anything while talking with someone. I really don't know what's happening...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] DelphinusMinor:
I can't help there but left/right holding is an issue I guess with this phone. Or maybe it's the Pro. I forget offhand.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Quaresma_7:
Obviously the proximity sensor is at fault. Enter the menu using the code mentioned above, then press the menu/options button and select Calibrate proximity sensor. Once you're there, hold your hand over the proximity sensor (to the right of the front camera) and tap the Calibrate button. That's one thing that could fix it.

Failing that, go to incoming call settings and turn off the proximity sensor (turn off screen in call). Restart your phone, go to the same toggle and turn it on.

If neither of these works, you likely have a faulty piece of hardware. Your last option is to have the phone repaired or try a different kernel/ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] jonathan_jon:
Hi , are you on miui global stock rom? Or custom rom?

I just had the same issue , but in my case , I recently opened the bootloader and installed xiaomi.eu rom, everything was working fine. I got notification of update ,I downloaded the update , but flash it thru TWRP , and then with the new update, the proximity was not working at all. Flash again the new rom, but wiping everything , and now works.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] edublind:
Is the EU rom that better?

I mean is there any plane to compare the known issues between the global and EU ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] fasty:
I'm using the miui global 10.3.3.0 PFGEUXM and definitely have some "issues" with the proximity sensor.

I'm still trying to tie down the exact nature of the problem:

With a quick test, or doing calibration, it seems to work exactly as I would expect; the screen switches off as you approach closer than about 2 inches.

However during a long call I notice the display start to flash "on" frequently in the corner of my eye and soft keys can get inadvertently pressed.

It kinda feels like it gets worse during the call, is it time or perhaps the phone warming up in my hand? Not sure.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] b0mb:
hi [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]!

is there still no permanent solution for fixing proximity bug?

its really annoying and making me crazy....

even after making it working again using quicktune app - doing one call it is broken again :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Lucky-thirteen:
Exactly what i've experienced.

Super annoying when you accidentally hang up during a call.

It happend countless times so far.

I'm on eu beta btw.

Wish there would be a solution.. . But afaik proximity is even more bugged in non miui custom roms.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] eraycetin:
I had this problem to. my proximity sensor what not responding at all. I thought it was defective because the calibration was not working to.

Then i went to the system update settings, downloaded the latest package and flashed it. After reflashing it started working with no problem at all.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fortis10:
Factory reset did the trick for me. Working normally now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Avik Sarkar:
Install Quick Tuneup. Then do Sensor Celebration & Restart your device twice.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] KMILO_PARRA:
Two solutions

It turns out that the problem is because MIUI does not activate the proximity sensor when the smartphone is turning on.

To force MIUI to ALWAYS activate the sensor at each start, we can do two things:

1- Always have "Automatic brightness" activated

2- Activate the "Pocket mode" (the best choice)

After applying one of these situations, it is necessary to restart the phone.

Only by activating the pocket mode it is no longer necessary to have automatic brightness activated all the time.

In the video I show how to activate the "pocket mode"

w w w . youtube.com/watch?v=2dfrqmH02O8

I published this solution in a forum in my country (Colombia).

w w w . laneros.com/temas/soluci%C3%B3n-sensor-de-proximidad-xiaomi.239997

I don't speak English, I had to use the google translator, sorry for any translation error.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] m4lfuri0n:
Actually, the proximity sensor for Redmi Note 7 isn't in the "usual" top-center position, it's a little bit on the top-right edge (if you watch the phone "against the light" you can actually see a small dot on that side).

If you're calling\responding try to put your ear at that angle, you'll never have those problem anymore.

I know it seems crazy, and of course the first times could be "unusual" to put the ear there, but it actually worked out flawlessly for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] yusufdontk:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] CrashOverride93:
Hi guys,

I have made a little workaround, using the suggestion of [MENTION=10037856]KMILO_PARRA[/MENTION] user. (pocket)

https://taskerprofilecenter.blogspot.com/2019/09/project-proximity-sensor-workaround-for.html

This is mainly for Tasker users, but I have generated an APK to be installed too. So any user can use it. But what is needed, by now, is root, as it needs to write to Settings table.

Please, report me back if it does the job or not.

Note1: For those users that don't know how Tasker works, just install the app, and give it root permissions, and allow Write System Settings permission (Android option). I recommend you to not set it as an app to be killed from the OS using the battery optimization, as it could be killed. It acts on every shutdown and device boot.

Note2: It will generate two permanent notifications: Place holder, and the one that is the mini-Tasker code monitor (required). Just, disable the Place holder one, as described in the same notification (click on it), and disable notifications completely for the installed app to get rid of the last one.

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

What it does exactly?

Well, as I explained on my web, it just changes the value (0/1) from the 'enable_screen_on_proximity_sensor' Global Settings table, that makes the pocket option to be toggleable in an automated way.

So, be sure not to use that option as a daily one, as the project/app uses it to allow the sensor be available at startup. And do not forget that you will need root too! Sorry.

What to download if I don't know what Tasker is?

You will only have to download the APK from the 'Kid App (APK)' link, provided under the 'DOWNLOAD' section. Nothing else.

If you know Tasker, you will know what to do. :)

Does it work really?

I'm currently testing this workaround, but as I could see, at least on my device (lavender too), seems to be working as expected. But needs to be tested a little more.

So, if it does not what it's intented for, please, report it me back.

After installing the app, giving root permissions, and allow it to modify system settings, reboot the device to take it effect.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] charnoha:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Suennio:
Hi

I have installed the app on lavender (custom ROM with root) but do nothing,and don't ask for root permission

I also allow system modification
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] CrashOverride93:
Sorry for the delay on replying to you.

I'm working on the next version of the project (also APK), to improve it, and maybe adding some UI so that the user can interact with it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Suennio:
Thanks,I'm waiting....

Always with root access?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] CrashOverride93:
Well, it needed root because it needed to write to Settings tables. But I will see if just granting a simple permission via ADB, or enabling the Write System Settings option in Android is enought.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Suennio:
I tested this situation for days

if you power up the phone and leave it for few minutes without unlock, the proximity sensor don't work...if you power up the phone and unlock the proximity sensor work flawlessly all the day

I'm on a custom ROM without root...and I'm not the only one that tested this situation

Tested 100%
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] smuis:
The best solution i've found so far for the proximity sensor problem is disabling notification shade when phone is locked.

settings - notifications & status bar - Notification shade - show on lock screen set to off!

When I make a phone call or answer one, I simply press lock button. No more airplane mode activated with my ear.

Screen flashes on and off while talking, but there are no buttons to tap.

This is no more a problem for me.

Fix for all sensors

I have done a lot of looking around and finally come up with what was wrong with my proximity sensor. My screen wouldn't rotate after I have flashed a bunch of different rooms to try out, I tried going back to stock and that didn't fix it, couldn't do a calibration on the CIT menu, turns out after all the flashing of ROMs, my persist file had corrupted so in search of one I found one and tried it out and it FIXED all of my sensors even proximity, here's a link c.mi.com/thread-2442693-1-0.html

The link may be invisible but it's under the comment that's says (here it is) or something like that

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hga89:
I have the unlocked Pixel 3a XL and would like to encrypt the phone. As far as I have been able to tell, that is not possible with the standard ROM and I would have to wait for another ROM? I do prefer LineageOS since previous phones. Of course, I would also then need to install TWRP which would also need to handle encrypted partitions.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hendusoone:
The stock ROM supports encryption, which is typically enabled by default. You can check that it's enabled here:

Settings > Security & Location > Advanced > Encryption & Credentials
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hga89:
I did see that but since I do not enter a passphrase when I turn on the phone I am not sure what exactly, if anything, is encrypted?? The PIN on the lock-screen does not count, of course.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hendusoone:
That's normal. Everything is still encrypted/inaccessible until you enter your PIN or password. It's a feature called direct boot that was added in 7.0. https://developer.android.com/training/articles/direct-boot
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hga89:
I looked at that quickly but it does not seem equivalent to encrypting the entire partition which is what I am looking for.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hendusoone:
In that case, you'll need to wait for a rom that supports full disk encryption.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hga89:
Thank you, that is what I surmised. Waiting for LOS and TWRP and for them to support partition encryption.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Holysmoke99:
I am concerned now after reading this. I factory reset a phone that did not have a pin or any lock screen at all. I need to return it and cancel lease since I bought a new 3a with unlocked bootloader.

Is the data recoverable? If so, can I make a pin and do another factory reset and would that be sufficient for privacy? I have all my passwords on Roboform.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
If you removed your Google account before resetting you're safe. If you did not then log back in, delete your account from the device and factory reset again. I doubt anyone really cares if you are returning it to a carrier. If you are sending it back to a third party I'd be a little more careful.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
The dirty trick is to remove your account, leave password on it, the reset from recovery. That will trigger a full wipe.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] gee one:
Edit: I guess things have change with device encrypted vs credential encrypted.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
There used to be a way to force a pin on startup before boot. Is that option gone? Haven't used it in years since it was such a pain.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hga89:
I am not sure anything changed, encrypting partitions have always been the best - and only real - way of protecting your device. The PINs etc. are eye candy.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
You put on a pin, use the fingerprint scanner for bank accounts, good passwords, what else can you do? A thief will go for the person that has none of these, there are many devices for them to choose from.

If you are that concerned then keep the information off the device. No one wants your stuff as much as you think they do. If I have to encrypt my phone I might as well leave it home or use a pen and paper.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hga89:
Our needs and concerns are obviously different. I think it is clear that encryption is recommended by knowledgeable people.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Obviously. But I'm sure you can find a company and device that suits your needs.
