[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] featherdown:
I'm Google free on Havoc right now. I've been bouncing back and forth between completely without anything Google to having play services installed (with permissions cut down and firewalled from internet access) for years. One thing I have noticed with newer ROMs, I can't delete Gboard, other keyboards won't come up with the phone just turned on lockscreen. I keep it installed (and firewalled), and use Anysoft as my default.

It kind of depends on what you're looking for - if you're open to finding all new apps, try going completely without. If you're completely dependent on some apps on play store, there are other ways to get free apps than the Google play store (f-droid, apkmirror, etc), and a lot of them do work without play services, regardless of what they say in the dependencies. You just get annoying messages sometimes.

Noticed most of the attention on the more expensive OP7pro variant compared to the bang-for-buck OP7, which is a shame really!

Recently upgraded from a Nexus 6p which is still running well, however the OP7 runs circles around its performance.

Are there any good how-to guides on how to flash Magisk and root? Eg. do we need to flash TWRP first, and then Magisk? Any gotcha's ?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] bumbum.droid:
that's what I did. Gotcha is that your phone will be wiped when you do OEM unlock (I forgot about that). Used this tool https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3930861

Hello Guys

I'm having Problems with the most of my apps.. They keep closing after opening. If I update the work fine again, but I can't access the Google Play Store, cause he is also one of the affected apps..

I think its something with Permissions or something, but found nothing which repaired it..

I'm running on Oxygen OS 9.5.8, with TWRP and Magisk installed.

First of all, thanks for continuing support for santoni! :good:

Two questions:

- is there an updated change log available?

- why this is a non-treble build [ROM] pixysOS [9.0] [OFFICIAL] [SANTONI] [NON-TREBLE]

does this have consequences regarding recovery? Lately I switched from TWRP to orangefox because of issues regarding recovery with the last build. It was supposed to be a treble build.:p

Cheers, Michael
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ojas.sinha:
1) There is an changelog, but I haven't uploaded it because it is my initial build, will update the changelog after next build.

2) Most of the ROMs are changing to non-treble because the upcoming 4.9 kernel is non-treble rn and is more stable. NO, it won't cause any problems with recovery, just flash it as you would normally do :)
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ah-le-le:
-Screwed up somewhere as my goal was to install LineageOS and try to use it on an At&t mvno.

-Package was unopened for months, so it still had the older firmware.

-Everything seemed okay after I unlocked the bootloader.

-Then I installed TWRP.

-Did a backup of everything using TWRP before I was going to try and root the device.

-I knew something was wrong when no verity opt encrypt and Magisk gave some error message and failed.

-Now whenever I boot the device, I get a N/A in the top left corner and then goes into TWRP.

-Restoring the backup using TWRP did nothing.

-I thought this would be the solution (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=1M), but I get the bad key first and then N/A before going back to TWRP.

https://xdaforums.com/moto-e4/help/moto-e4-metro-variant-rebooting-to-twrp-t3825841

What should I do now?

Any help would be appreciated. Even links to other posts that dealt with this issue is fine. Be aware that my skill level is only a little better than following Youtube videos.

Thank you.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
N/A is normal. It will be there forever after you unlock bootloader. Did you format data in TWRP and type yes to format?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ah-le-le:
Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know, I did not format within TWRP. Is that my next step? If not, please advice what should be done next.

My concern is something is wrong because both the suggestions you gave in that other thread did not result in the phone booting to Android properly.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
once you flash TWRP you have to flash a no verity zip and probably magisk and definitely format data to remove encryption for your phone to boot.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ah-le-le:
Installing no verity zip and magisk produced the following. Did I do this properly because there looks like multiple errors?

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
I can't read that, LoL. Maybe... Failed toount data? That's because you're still encrypted.

Put the zips on external storage. Format data, type yes.

Now reboot recovery (not system) then flash the zips.

And you can take screenshots in TWRP.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ah-le-le:
Thanks so much.

I followed your instructions plus the one from the other thread. Phone is now able to boot to the stock Android. I guess my next step is doing a little more research before trying to install LineageOS to see if the phone works well enough on a USA GSM mvno.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ah-le-le:
One more question please.

On the E4, are the system firmware updates mandatory? I read that users are first notified and then forced to take the update even if you Disable Automatic System Updates.

Is that true? I wish to stay with the old firmware because people have posted that the new firmware eliminates any chance of using a USA GSM sim on a Boost 1766.

Thanks.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
Use caution going with a custom ROM on this device, especially with a mvno. You may score far more hurt than benefit. Also consider what you are trying to accomplished going with custom ROMs given the clean stability of Moto stock ROMs. Toss in Xposed framework and a few modules like Gravitybox for full control/customization.

OTA updates can not be processed with a custom recovery (one of several prerequisites that your device no longer meets). You may get notified but the update won't install; you'll be dumped into TWRP. You can easily disable the update engine and corresponding notifications on a rooted device.

You can download your stock firmware from firmwarex.net.

Backup your important files initially.Because all system will wife after flash.

Firstly install adb drivers in your pc.when it completely install then go to settings (asus device)->system->about phone ->build number.Tab it 4 to 6 times.Now u have developer option on your settings , then active your developer option.

-> also on debugging mode.

And reboot your phone into fastboot mode.

Now go to your pc.

-> Go to your main drive(C:)

->there is new folder adb named.

->click on it,and tap on shift key and click on right click of your mouse(combination keys).

U will see there is 'open with cmd ',click on it.

->Now, There is some cmd commands.

-> fastboot devices

U will see there is some serial number,its means your device now successfully attached with ur system.

-> Now extract your stock firmware.

--> copy your extract firmware into main drive(C:).

->Open it ,there is flashAll_Aft option,click on it.

Now u will see that automatically work.

It will takes some time.

And don't remove your cable during flashling.

Your device automatically reboot into system after flashed all files.

Now setup your devices.

If your bootloader is unlock it wil relock.

And if your device is rooted it will unrooted.

U also gets fota or ota uodates.

After setup, u device show new update.

[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] moneytoo:
NFC (antenna) on OnePlus 7 seems to be located near/around rear camera(s). This makes it really convenient for NFC payments. Apple iPhones or Google Pixels also have NFC at the top of the phone. However even latest Samsung S10's have it located in the middle. I switched to OnePlus 7 from Samsung S7 and NFC also feels much stronger - payment terminals pick up signal from greater distance (even when using a case).

[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
Hi. When rooting Huawei Mate 8 I had to use "format data" option to remove encryption (it wouldn't take my PIN). Then I flashed magisk and when I rebooted back to system, I found out that there's only 1 basic theme available, HWthemes folder empty, downloaded themes not working (despite "theme applied" notification, not even after reboot). My goldmagazine theme is gone, and the setting "Homescreen style" shows a placeholder drawing where normally my theme picture would show. Does anybody have experience with this sort of special effect? What am I supposed to do to bring my themes back?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Everything that you had installed, saved and setup got wiped when you reset data. You'll have to reinstall/replace anything that got wiped and manually set it all back up again.
[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
Hello and thanks for your reply. The phone was shipped with those themes from factory, I never installed them, so I didn't think they would be stored together with my personal data. Any idea why new themes downloaded from Huawei don't work either?

I have access to another phone like this which is not rooted. Can I somehow extract these files from there? (The folder shows as empty, even though it 50MB+)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try reinstalling the stock firmware and then go through the rooting process again but this time don't encrypt the device and don't enable a PIN, you probably wont have the same issue.
[General Questions and Answers] elt72356:
Thanks, that's what I thought and what I would rather avoid. But if there is no other way I will have to do it this way I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There may or may not be another way, but the way I described is the simplest and least likely to have additional issues to fix. Trying to "add it back" may not be so simple and might cause other bugs along the way before you get it all straightened back out.

Do yourself a favor and take the simplest route.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] nickol1990:
Thread closed, previous thread on same topic exists

I bought the Galaxy A50 a few days ago and I'm terribly missing the LED notification option.

It does have the 'Flash notification' options, using the camera and flash sensors in the back or screen flashing, but they are worthless.

Tried various apps but nothing works as it should: you have to live AOD always on, it does not always work and it consumes a lot off battery.

Is Samsung working on adding this option (using front camera light notification) or is there any other way to work around this?

Thank you.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kez3:
Ever since the phone upgraded itself from Android 8 to android 9 the home screen freezes.

Before the upgrade to 9 this never happened.

I have submitted countless bug fix requests on the Xiaomi bug reporting app on the phone, and have had lots of updates since then, but no fix.

When I am using the phone it never freezes.

But if I let the screen go off then after a while when I click the on/ off button the screen lights up with the home screen but the screen is not responsive to anything.

Except a pull down. How I unfreeze the display is by pulling down from the top, which always works. Then I must tap on anything on the pull down, and this unfreezes the phone.

Ambient display is switched off.

Does anyone know if there is an installed app which causes this, or if otherwise there is a fix?
