Please, note:

1. It still can show first sponsored post for some reason... Just scroll it down and up again - it will disappear. I'll try to figure this out, Instagram uses some unusual way to prepare first screen (probably due to startup performance).

2. When you open Instagram first time with this module (or when your Instagram get updated) it can take some time to load... Takes 5 second on my Snapdragon 845. During this time I perform lookup for classes over entire package, because class names are random... Then it is saved to extStorage/.Instagram folder and subsequent startups takes 1 sec. Make sure you granted Storage app permission in App Info, otherwise it will start slowly every time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] W1007:
Hello and thanks for this necessary modules.

I was scrolling for a long time instagram's feed and I didn't got any sponsored post which is really awesome.

The only place when I still see sponsored posts is between 2/3 stories like it was before but it is not a big deal.

Thanks anyway for this module ans hope you will find what you search for block completly ads on instagram :)

[Xposed Framework Modules] cultofluna:
Thanks for this working great...
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Awesome, this module works!

It did make Instagram slower on first run, but that fixed itself after 15 seconds (due to the heavy lookup I reckon, as dev points out).

It blocks all feed ads, but no story ad. May be in a future update?

I noticed one single caveat, after installing this module the top bar in the Instagram app (that has the messenger icon) begins to overlap over the stories bar.

I will update with logs. Thanks for the module.

This module is great. Just wanted to report that something has updated in Instagram version 118.0.0.28.112 and I can see all those sponsored ads. I will just rollback to older version of the app for now.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] ashatter:
I'm trying to decrypt my 3A to get a little better performance. I would like to know anyone can provide a step by step instruction.

I understand that all I need may just be flashing a zip with a modified file in TWRP then reset the phone. Unfortunately, I'm not savvy enough for preparing that.

Any one can assist?

Thank you.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] en2tri:
Isn't encryption on Pixels hardware accelerated and therefore has zero impact on performance? At least this is what I have read about the more expensive Pixel 3.

I personally prioritize security over a small performance impact. Encryption provides great benefits in the case of loosing or reselling the phone - your data is safe from unwanted access.

It would be nice if someone could post actual benchmarks before and after disabling encryption so that others can see if it is actually worth it.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] spaceman860:
There's zero benefit from permanently decrypting on pixels
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] ashatter:
Hardware accelerated means you still need resource to compute the encryption process. No matter how good it is, it will charge extra computation and battery anyway. The only way encryption may help would be not to leak phone information when you lose your phone. It will not happen if you care your phone enough.

If someone can provide the decryption method, I can run the benchmark to support what I say above for sure~
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] en2tri:
Really, this is your excuse? :rolleyes:

And as far as the battery consumption goes, I think this will be a similar discussion as the dark gray vs. black OLED consumption, which saves you no more than a few seconds on a full charge.

https://store.google.com/product/pixel_3a_specs

https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/titan-m-makes-pixel-3-our-most-secure-phone-yet/

Everything is decrypted using the Titan M processor, not the SD670. So disabling encryption would not help increase performance. Battery doesn't take much of a hit either. Maybe a few minutes at best would be saved.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] ashatter:
Not an excuse. I only experience losing my phone for 1 time which was 14 years ago and the phone was found. Again, encrypting the phone takes extra step. Just not to do it if you could not bare the risk.

Personally, I would like to fight over the smallest trifles. It may just affect the performance and battery slightly and we can barely feel it, it is still hard for me to take it.

Since you're responding, I would like to thank all contributors like you who make our phones work better for us. We appreciate it.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Do you unlock your phone? If so, your encryption is basically worthless.

Sure it might keep the casual user who finds a misplaced phone from getting information off of it. But anyone with even a slight interest in cracking the phone will be able to do it if it is unlocked. Please heed the boot warning on an unlocked phone states that an unlocked phone is insecure and that no sensitive information should be stored on it.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] en2tri:
My phone locks after the screen turns off - either manually via power button or after 1 minute of idling. I can also lock / wipe it remotely, if needed.

I should also point out that wiping an un-encrypted device (either manual wipe or remote wipe) is totally ineffective and the "deleted" data can be very easily recovered.

In the end, it is your device with your data - do what you want with it. But disabling encryption offers zero performance improvement and negligible battery improvement.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] billycar11:
the same as on any other phone unlock your bootloader install custom recovery format userdata and internal storage and flash a kernel that does not force encryption
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] ashatter:
I did that. It does not work. I did some research and it seems I have to edit a file to disable to force encryption.

see: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/decrypting-pixel-3-xl-t3867676
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Sorry, when I said "unlock your phone", I really meant bootloader unlock. I think you took it as a screen unlock. The way I wrote my comment, I totally understand the confusion.

If you bootloader unlock your phone (which many of us on this forum do to gain root), then the fact that your phone is encrypted is basically worthless. Now personally I would never worry about trying to permanently decrypt my phone even though I do bootloader unlock it, but I can understand why someone might want to.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] en2tri:
Sorry, I misunderstood you before.

I am running an unmodified stock ROM and the bootloader was never unlocked.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
That is the up to date official rom, there are no newer ones. If you want to install a custom rom, you need to install HardSPL first. But before doing anything read and understand the wiki on Rom Flashing before doing anything . Have Fun

Before flashing any rom you need to have hardspl, no ifs ands or buts; unless you want to ruin your device in that case feel free.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] holofractal:
I obviously have clean flashed OOS on both slots before installing this ROM.

I checked the vendor directory, the file doesn't exist.

Would really like to use it, puzzling why it doesn't work. Am I missing something?

EDIT: SOLVED

Firmware was the issue. I followed a thread that let me flash firmware manually, and I was only flashing the firmware through fastboot. There was another section that involved flashing other parts in TWRP ADB, which couldn't be flashed in fastboot. I must have missed those.

Also, after I updated the firmware properly, the error changed. It complained about a DNS error, of which the magisk module dnscrypt- proxy was the culprit.

Long story short, make sure firmware is COMPLETELY upgraded.

I was flashing firmware with official OOS zips, but I don't think they were full updates, only OTAs that didn't have all of the firmware included, causing some wierd errors. I'm surprised that the hotspot was the only thing broken.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] holofractal:
Well I just checked it on another OP6, the driver doesn't exist, but hotspot works? Really puzzling.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] holofractal:

Hi, I decided to try the GSIs that are on the forums and after several attempts it was possible to do something functional in our Mix 2.

We are in beta, which means ... that the rom presents several errors that we will solve little by little with the help of you until the GSI is fully functional.​

What`s works? :D

Calls

Messages

Wifi

Access point

Bluetooth

ScreenCast

Audio

Gestures

Camera

Magisk

More others

What does not work? :confused:

Fingerprint

Facial Unlocking

Restart (The phone does not respond to the restart commands) (Keep the On / Off button pressed)

Vibration (It works but it is very strong)

Location service (It works but when you activate the option to improve experience that uses google services, the phone enters bootloop)

NFC

Report someone else they find.

As you can see the ROM has several details, however in my opinion and my demands I wear it. I could say that for my daily use it is incredible.

Optimization of battery and RAM works great.

For the facial unlocking can be occupied by Google that comes pre-installed as Magisk module. After activating in Smart Lock, here also every time the face unlock is applied, a message will appear that can be annoying, maybe later we can solve it.

Any help to solve the problems of the GSI will be well received.​

Download: OxygenOS Chiron

Requirements:

Firmware My Mix2 Global_V10.0.2.0

Recovery Treble (I use FOX)

Installation:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories] lgenaroarteaga:
I just finished applying the amFilm screen protector and even if it might scare a bit to have so many accessories just to properly install a screen protector, it is not... instructions are easy to follow and the results are amazing for the price.

I purchased mine after looking for a good screen protector, since the screen protector I installed when purchased started to detach, the edges were not fully covered or at least aligned to it, some of the glue was on the speaker and I had to carefully remove it, anyways, this job was supposed to be made by a seller with experience. So with that bad experience I started looking for a screen protector replacement, first I started to look at the one everyone was talking about, (yes, that one, the expensive one) and then I looked at others including amFilm, but the thing is that most of them had fake reviews or unrelated reviews even 2016, so I started to discard most of them since I really wanted to protect my investment, so my choices were either amFilm or whitestone. I decided amFilm for 2 reasons: it's reasonably cheaper, and it came with this metal weight to thin out the liquid glue before curating, let me review this 2 factors

Price: whitestone at the moment of this review costs 50USD down from 60 usd on the 1 pack item, I purchased this one as a 2 pack purchase (one spare for future use or if you mess up when applying the first one) for 40USD with no discount

Metal weight: whitestone does not come with it, it made it clear for me the reason, the previous screen protector I had (the one installed at the moment of purchase) messed up my ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, I had a 15% rate success with it, it was frustrating, so it made it clear for me that this weight would be used for thinning the glue prior to curation which would interfere with my ultrasonic reader. at the moment of writing this review I had easily a 95% or more success rate with it and I use it's related apps easily.

Extra point for it's case friendly feature (at least with the OtterBox Commuter Series fits like a charm)

So those were the pros, but this wouldn't be a review without it's cons

Both the amFilm and withestone come with a hole for the frontal camera. I feel a bit down about this since my 2 best options had this and some others had the full screen protection even with the frontal camera included. This will lead dust accumulation on the screen edge around the camera or even worse scratches on that area due to regular use (no matter which gorilla glass it comes with, it will eventually wear out to scratches).

Also I would include absorption pads on the lower end of the device where I found some the residual glue, I could clean it anyways.

As conclusion for this price I'm happy with my purchase and I'd wish amFilm to take into account the full screen protection (including the front facing camera) so at least that part will not pickup dust or get scratched from everyday usage inside my pocket.

Let me share the end results (pics taken with a samsung J8)

Hello guys, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab s2. When I owned this, I had some pretty sweet fun and gaming on this thing, until I trade it for my dad's phone because it had a SD 835. Now my dad use this tablet, well not really. He forgot the password to it and he is unable to use his fingerprint to unlock Because the device has locked itself after 24 hours of no use because he has a new phone to use. So can anyone tell me a way to remove the password or hard reset the device because I can't shut it down because its doesn't allow me to. Is there a way to remove the password using a flashtool device on pc?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DankMemz:
Let the battery die. After the tablet shuts down, hold down the power button and volume down (and the middle button if the tablet has any) and it should appear a warning message, press the volume up button and now a download or a android sign should appear in the middle of the screen. Now open up your pc, download Odin and samsung drivers and run them. Now download ur tablets stock rom.Now run the samsung drivers and let them to complete. Open Odin and connect ur devices to PC with a usb cable.Now, in Odin you'll see 4 options, choose "ap" and then open the stock rom file and then just hit start (i think this was the button). Now, after installation your tablet should restart, with a fresh stock rom.

Remember, do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any hard bricks, dead sim cards or a nuclear war resulting in following these steps. If you point your finger at me, i'll laugh at you...
