Another Version is in progress:

More **** removed.

NanoDroid is preinstalled: most optimal set in my experience

So if you are in hurry and feel like securing yourself that would be a great option.

I think I need to make some kind of builder so you can choice how paranoid you are atm and the right rom will be prepared for you.

How to fix the crashing of system UI ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Doom Slayer:
Working on something big and more universal...

Need more details. My 3rd eye is not fully open,yet.

How did you install, what did you install and how does this bug occurr? Right after installation? In some specific usage scenario?

Did you install anything else, like existenz?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Devil0Pr:
We need to talk. I'm also looking at this with a couple of others, to automate installing a rom with microg. Given the current climate, this will become more popular.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] jerrycbrowne:
Awesome idea Doom. I've been conducting my own experiments on the XP to see how much I can remove without affecting it's core functionality. (Make and receive phone calls. send and receive text messages and a browser)

A couple of questions.

Is Newflasher the only way to access this rom? and if you change the default resolution setting to permanently be 4K will it still function? (In my experience it doesn't work with custom roms.)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] undefine:
You have my full support as well! There are actually lots of people that probably share your views about technological privacy, and you doing something to fight is the most empowering thing one can do! Keep up the good work. I hope it is completely stable as is right now.

My recommendations for you is that do not add anything to the rom just debloat it, there might be some people with more privacy insisting than you that may find nanodroid as a bloat as well. Also another recommendation for an SMS app is Silence. It can encrypt SMS between two Silence users without using data access.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Doom Slayer:
I am also doing simular experiments, I want to get a core functionality, so from there I can start building something. Maybe some day I will finish my tool for that purpose and share it.

For most of the roms it's required to flash a stock rom with newflasher before flashing anything, because it contains parts that for some reasons are not flashed using TWRP.

I managed to boot the phone without using newflasher, by making a full rom, I managed to boot it even, but I had the message on start-up that software is corrupted. Also phone became completely unstable.

Also it gives user ability to flash rom for needed region. EU roms mostly similar, but others are not. For example missing SIM card provider may result no service. Once I traveled within EU and got into the situation where my phone didn't detect local sim....

About 4k, this rom is based on stock, so if there is a way to do something on stock, then it might also work here. Personally I didn't test.

Unfortunately many people are vegetables who don't care how many information is collected, as those people believe what "they" say. For now it's to "improve users experience", but if/when it will come to open global surveillance, they gonna say it's for our own safety. Many people don't care unless they got new emoji, voice assistant and some "brain junk". ?

While anonymity doesn't exist, it's still possible to get more privacy and hide from big companies. I am trying to do so, but still trying to keep phone comfortable to use.

I will debloat as much as possible for the next version.

MicroG can be installed as magisk module,signature spoofing can be achieved with Xposed, so there is no point to include anything. It will be up to users what to use. (I hope nobody will decide to flash gapps on my rom?)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] undefine:
So, when should we expect the next version? Will it be completely stable as is?

This rom looks very promising for me. Thanks for your efforts.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Doom Slayer:
This ROM is result of the experiments for others projects...

From now on, I will try to keep things simple.

Welcome to the next stage

About Full Rom Installation, bad news and good news.

Bad: Tested all known to me methods, if rom is installed after system wipe, it's not working. Conclusion: NewFlasher is mandatory.

Good: It's needed only once, if you make a TWRP backup of stock/working instance of previous version. You can restore it, in case you formatted the system or comming from AOSP based rom.

So I gonna keep this as a mod.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] PhantomSoul:
Hello,

I've been out of the rooting scene for a while now (last phone had a damn permalocked bootloader!) and wanted to be clear on a few things before rooting this phone.

1. I am aware that doing any sorts of modifications to the system will disable OTA updates and those have to be done manually, the question is when I restore my phone (removing root, going back to stock recovery, etc) will automatic OTA updates be re-enabled? Is the stock recovery image even available, or is this even possible? because...

2. When I am looking to sell the phone in the future, I want to be sure that the phone doesn't show any signs of tampering. I am wondering this because the last phone I rooted was the Motorola z2 force, which was the first phone I've ever seen with that "unlocked bootloader" warning when powering on. And with that phone even after all the images were returned to stock, there was still a "your device has loaded a different os" warning, even if it was the stock image. The CTS system functioned similarly to Samsung's knoxs system, where once it was tripped, there was no going back and I wasn't aware of this...

TL;DR: If I ever wish to sell the phone to completely stock (relocked bootloader, stock recovery img, etc), will the phone be permanently tainted with a message like with the image attached? thanks!
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
If you flash stock image and relock bootloader no one will ever know.

As far as otas while rooted, this device will allow you to accept, it will just overwrite root.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] smartuser8:
In your image it's because it's a Motorola, not a good manufacturer with bootloader (but not the worst).

There is 3 big ways with bootloader:

#1 (the best) : The unlock method is 100% in the "code" and you can unlock and relock it yourself (Google with Nexus and Pixel)

#2 (good but not the best) : The unlock method is in the code BUT the manufacturer has a part of the method (an unique code) and you can't do it without register your IMEI on the website, so the manufacturer know it, you lose the warranty... (Motorola, Sony).

#3 (the worst) : You just can't because the manufacturer doesn't want. (Nokia)

[MENTION=4534021]jmtjr278[/MENTION]

Thank you for your informative post. I just got my 3a and am very happy with it. I rooted via pbanj's recommended procedure and changed out some apps. Except for loading his patched image that allows Magisk I have made no changes to the basic pie room.

Your reply suggests I can install an ota, lose root, but I can reinstall root via panbj's procedure.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
Yes, sir. I'm not sure what method you used other than flashing the rooted boot.img but if am update comes out either patch the new kernel or wait for pbanj to post the modified img. That's it. Easy peasy
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
You can't install ota on rooted phone. It will fail in recovery.

The steps you need to do is as follows:

1. boot to bootloader, use fast boot to flash stock boot.img

2. go to recovery, apply ota.zip using adb sideload

3. boot back to bootloader, flash the patched boot.img with root

4. reboot and enjoy with root and all your apps/data intact.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] alliance1975:
Wow a slightly different procedure. So it would appear I need the stock boot image when I want to do an OTA. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
There have been lots of issues with Google pay and securehub (if you work at a big company and want company email on your phone) and unlocked bootloader. Yes, magisk does eventually find workarounds, just depends on how much time you want to spend screwing around knowing it'll break relatively often. Also, we don't have many developers on board yet, so as far as custom roms and kernels go, it's slim pickings.

All that being said, rooted stock is great as long as you don't mind resetting everything to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
As you have noted, if you unlock the bootloader you will get the warning when booting. However, unlike your previous phone, you can reflash to stock and relock your bootloader very easily.

Obtaining root and then accepting OTA updates is also much easier with the Pixel phones (and really any phone that is now using A/B partitions). Here is a to some magisk tutorials that show you how easy it is to take an OTA update. https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html

Also as noted previously, it can be tricky to get Google Pay set up with a rooted device. It is possible, but it takes some effort. Personally I don't use Google Pay, so it's no loss to me and I haven't bothered trying to get it to work. Otherwise root is very important to me. I use several mods/apps that are very important to me. Viper4Android, Advanced Charging Control, Ad blocking, Youtube Vanced, and Active Edge Mod (a unique mod for Pixel devices with the active edge gesture) as well as root explorer, tasker (and related apps like secure settings) and titanium backup.

To me, having access to those mods and apps are well worth seeing the warning message and having to manually accept a OTA update and having an extra step or two in the update process.

Don't know where to put this, but I had a problem with my HTC One m8. I got stuck in the bootloader and now I can't do anything. Even tried factory resetting, but nothing happened. I plugged it in and let it charge to 46%, unplugged it, and got the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hotflameboy:
Hello everyone

I've been struggling for a few hours now... to get my voice button on the headset to activate Google assistance.

At first it opened Svoice then i tried all sort of programs like Bluetooth launcher and Hint2Search, also checked out every possible options on the phone/google/plt hub (the plantronic app).

And the best result I've gotten so far is the launch of Google now (which is different from assistant)

So as you may have guessed, my question is how do I get google assistant on (same as when i hold my home button) when i hold my headset button.

I bought a S620 on Ebay and it arrived yesterday with some info still on it and I want to reset the phone.

I have read the online user guide and it says to go into 'Expert' and there should be a 'Clear Storage' icon, that icon is missing. Is there a hidden security measure that will bring that icon back.

Is there any other way to clear all the storage, I am very new to this phone so its all a bit new to me and I hope someone can help.

Thanks for your time in advance
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
you need to check if rom version is original or no,i think that have to be wm6.0, if you flash you s620 with kavana-ricky rom version wm6.1, that you can find in this forum with all instruccion you will clean all your s620(excalibur)

good luck

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] True1235:
Hi all,

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S6 with Lineage OS 16, running Android 9 Pie. I was hoping I could use my Gear S3 Frontier with my new OS but of course it doesn't work. What I've done so far is I've installed Magisk for systemless root, so that I could edit build.prop and change all instances of samsung to htc, of which there were two:

ro.product.brand=htc (was samsung, obviously)

ro.product.manufacturer=htc (again, was samsung)

I've installed Samsung Accessory Service from this link and Gear S Plugin from this link.

I've also turned on Magisk Hide and enabled it on the Samsung Wearable app, but, you know, it didn't work. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance. :o

Hi guys got a poco f1 running miui 10.2.3.0.

Sometimes i unlock my phone to find a full screen advert has popped up. If i press the square button to see open/running apps when it pops up you can see the ad pop up is running in chrome. I am aware that xiaomi puts adverts on their phones but until recently i never had these kind of ads that are so intrusive and trying all the usual ways to get rid of the ads (changing region, turning of recommendations on apps and settings) has not seemed to work. I even downloaded an ad block app but still no luck. Its annoying because their the only ads that annoy me and have ruined a good few videos already. Please someone help me get these adverts to go away.

To whom it may concern; I don't know what happened but for whatever reason my visual voicemail no longer works. I'm enrolled in the Phone Beta program but I'm just now experiencing this issue.

I use the Visual Voicemail on only one phone (my old G3). With the latest update it stopped working. Not sure what the deal is. Regular voicemail is okay.

Regarding the text message, they don't seem to give up. On all of my devices I get it. After deleting it I get it again on subsequent reboots. Quite annoying.

I just find it to be strange that a lot of people use a carrier unlocked device to avoid their carriers bloatware. It seems like TMO are trying to force their consumers to use their Visual Voicemail instead of the Visual Voicemail provided by the Google Phone app.

Hello guys, last week i converted my Xiaomi mi A2 to 6X to use MIUI.

So, i notice the brightness is stuck and don't make difference if it is on 20% or 100%, the bright in the screen is the same, and this is bad cause it's too low to see outside.

Can someone help me to fix this?

I try change the Rom, but don't works, already tried Miui.eu, Miui globe and Revolution OS. All the same Bug.

Ps: If you thinks it's hardware I has to tell you the brightness in the TWRP and boot screen is normal. AND, when I oppen certain apps like galery or youtube the brightness increase to normal for a second.
