There's several things anyone can do

You could go ahead and find more breakages so I can at least document that issues do exist that need attention

Issues on glassrom can be submitted to the glassrom-landing github repository

There is a bunch of non development stuff needed like writing documentation, designing bootanimations, etc which you can see here https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os_issue_tracker/issues

Don't report glassrom bugs on the grapheneos bug tracker

You could also decide to monetarily support either project. The monero address given in the first post allows you to send funds anonymously with no chance of them being traced back to you
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] anupritaisno1:
Work on R has already started. Here's 2 things to note

You can only upgrade to R without a clean flash if you're on the latest encryption method. If you formatted your data after the march release, you're most likely good to go

Any apps you may have installed from fdroid may be forcefully removed after flashing R. Reinstalling those apps will not be possible unless the app developer releases an update. You're advised to build your apps yourself or get them from the play store using apps like aurora store. Fdroid has had 5 years to fix this security issue and the glassrom development team is not going to change its stance. If an app you install from there (which is almost 99% of all the apps they have) has a weak signature the app will be removed and installation will be blocked until it is signed with a stronger signature
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hellcat50:
didn't know that, thanks for informing us! guess i will try and start building apps by myself then :)
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] luscharsch:
So that means apps like whatsapp, banking app etc. Will be removed? And can't be installed as usual?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] anupritaisno1:
I am unsure if WhatsApp has started distribution through fdroid. Maybe somebody else can help you with your question

Most apps you install from the play store, even if it is through an app like aurora store that don't trigger an old version warning on glassrom should be just fine
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] anupritaisno1:
If you build your apps yourself android will warn you that you aren't signing them correctly and not install. You still have the option with you to sign them correctly and have the system accept your app

Uploading an incorrectly signed app to the play store is impossible as they made the requirements stricter almost 3 years ago so if your app has updated in that time you're good

The problem is with fdroid. While glassrom will uninstall the app it will preserve the app data and the last known signature. This may mean that you may never be able to install that app again, even if from another source until fdroid gives you an update with the same signature. Knowing how slow fdroid is at updates, you might even need to reset your phone just to be able to get those apps installing again

Fdroid has had at least 4 years now to address this issue and they haven't. I'm not going to wait another 10 years for them to drop every current security malpractice they commit on a daily basis while putting users at risk at the false promise of security and privacy. And who knows, they might as well come up with new malpractices in those 10 years

There is a very fine line between using and supporting FLOSS and utter stupidity
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] anupritaisno1:
And just 3 days after my post fdroid doesn't fail to disappoint

Instead of fixing their broken mess they will just fix it for some (not all) R targeting apps and ship apps that are signed with crypto that has known vulnerabilities on older versions, quite possibly they'll never update a few of their apps to go unnoticed by the requirements on R too

I really should have taken the decision on Q itself as fdroid puts users at risk in the name of floss and users are none the wiser

New release https://github.com/GlassROM/glassrom-landing/releases/tag/20201004-guacamole
[MTCD Android Head Units General] diegudio:
Hi everybody,

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm getting kinda nervous and I'm not sure where else to refer.

I decided to buy from Aliexpress an Android unit for the Fabia mk3 for my wife and I found a PX5 based 8 Core with 4GB RAM and 16GB of internal space.

The unit is the one from the picture below.

I've got a bad feeling when seeing that after buying the product I got contacted via whatsapp by somebody from China, although the product page said "delivery from CZ"... ok, the person said it was normal, and I gave no further importance to it until he got heavy insisting in selling me an upgrade to the 32Gb version for 30€ more... I'm glad I refused it.

Anyway, 4 days after I've got the unit. Unpacking, everything looking fine, no scratches, new product.

It took me 1 day until I got the time to test it before installing it. I plug the 12v battery, everything seemed fine until I push the buttons on the frontal panel... nothing.

No button function, no volume, no turn-on/off, no going-back, nothing.

I contacted the Chinese and I sent them a video (the one attached here). They told me they will sent me a video with the solution... I thought it was going to be some firmware update, or some hidden menu stuff, but not, the video was showing how to open the unit and reconnect some cables inside...

I was already getting mad, but I decided to go ahead an open it. To my surprise, everything looked fine. I have some electronics knowledge, so I understood the main connections (screen board to mainboard, side button panels to screen board, touchscreen board to screen board, etc)... I double checked all these main connections and tried again, but nothing happened, the buttons still dead.

I investigated a little bit, found how to get in the Factory Settings, I've tried the re-mapping in the KEY menu but they are not working at all.

Not even in the re-mapping the system is detecting them. I click them and the screen remains white.

I went again inside, disconnected the side button panels, started the unit and no error message. It keeps working with the touchscreen.

I asked the chinese for further support, but it was Friday already and they were off. I hope I get feedback tomorrow.

I decided anyway to open a dispute in Aliexpress and they accepted my position, but said no full refund because they say that the basic function of the radio is there (wtf?!). For full refund I need to send the radio back... and I will probably lose 25€ of the shipment...

So now I'm taking a couple of days to decide what to do... but in the meantime I was wondering if any of you can give me a hand...

I share some pics that I took from the inner panels. The red board is the screen-mainboard.

I will appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Diego

Nobody here?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] diegudio:
Just to update the topic, seeing that nobody had a clue about this or just decided not to collaborate: the problem has been solved by just connecting the radio to the car.

It seems that the front panel buttons get activated only when the head unit receives the can-bus signals.

However, after some days solving this issue and being happy with the installation, it happened that I've found the car with the battery dead. Due to the quarantine we were not using the car in some days, and when my wife tried to open it to go to the supermarket, it was dead.

So after bringing it back to life, I removed the radio and checked the current drainage. It was 300mA for the car switched off. Too much for a car that is parked 1 week long due to the quarantine.

I checked the connections, and I found out that in the Fabia mk3 there is no longer a "switched-off" power cable arriving to the radio. Only an "always-on" one.

For what I was able to find in the web, the original radio is being switched off by the can-bus signal, bringing the current drainage to a minimum. What is this minimum, I do not know as I haven't measured it.

This doesn't seem to be the case with the can-bus emulator box of my head unit, or the head-unit itself, that is draining the 200mA commented before.

So I looked for a "switched-off" signal from the fuse panel and I brought it all the way up to the radio. After doing some checks, I managed to solved the problem, the android unit was working and not sucking current when the car was switched off... and that's when I thought I reached the end of the problems...

Some days after my wife takes the car again and told me that the radio was never starting. I went to check it and I found the unit getting blocked at the "android" starting screen.

Sometimes it ends up just blocked there. Sometimes shows an alternating picture between the word "android" and a kind of arrow picture. I share here a couple of screenshots and a small video.

I've tried the reset button, even with the 15 seconds wait, and nothing happens, I get the same blocked starting screen...

Any ideas what can this be? I know it doesn't look good. But I refuse to give up with the radio, it looked very well installed in the car...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] george stamatos:
Hi my friend, it seems that only you and me bought this product.

Thank god i don't have any problems so far, it's been on for three months now.

Today i had a little time to play with it, and i was trying tune the damned DSP !

From the factory settings (code 126), i raised volume to max . Now is a bit louder, i have to work more on the settings.

Any recommendations ?

Unfortunately i have only front speakers,i don't have time to fit rear ones....
[MTCD Android Head Units General] diegudio:
Hi, sorry but I won't be able to help you. Since the last post the radio never worked again. It just don't start anymore, no android logo, nothing. Totally dead.

I claim the AliExpress guarantee and they payed back after fighting a little bit.

But now I'm worried of going out to buy another, as they might all come from the same manufacturer... so I'm waiting to see in the market a "fascia" that fits in the Fabia III so I can mount a standard 2-Din radio.

I hope that you can enjoy the radio for a long time.

Cheers!

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 4317609:
Hi all,

I just updated to the latest beta with Android Q, everything is fine except one thing. I successfully re-enabled Magisk with a patched boot image, and all was fine.

However when I flashed a module (despite it saying it was compatible with Q), my phone desicided not to boot anymore.

If I fastboot flash the unpatched boot image, of course it works, but I don't have root access anymore.

If I re-flash the patched boot image, it stays stuck to the boot animation.

Since I'm on Q, I have no TWRP recovery, so impossible to flash the magisk uninstaller zip.

What could I try ?

My options are now either to erase data and start fresh, which is a lot of trouble for such a small problem, or to wait for a TWRP release.

Any other suggestion would be very welcome :):)

Thanks!

Edit: Managed to solve it. Little how-to, in case someone else has the issue :

On the PC, relaunch your adb daemon in root mode by typing

adb kill-server

and then

adb root

Now reboot your phone into Fastboot and plug it in the PC

Flash the patched boot image by typing

fastboot flash boot oos_10_ob1_patched_boot.img

and start the phone

While it's attempting to boot (it is stuck on the animation because of the problematic module), type

adb shell

then in the shell, type

magisk --remove-modules

The phone should reboot, and complete this boot sequence normally. You can then go into Magisk Manager and reflash magisk (direct install) and start over ;)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] GuestD2559:
Thanks for this. Keeping this as reference. I believe this works only if you've enabled USB Debugging in your phone and granted it access to your PC, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesedy:
Hi.

I have updated my LG G6 to Android Pie.

Now there is an option to change NavBar from 3 buttons to "Gesture and buttons" (see attached picture).

How "Gesture and buttons" works is when you tap Middle button, it goes to Home screen. When tap and hold, it opens Google Assistant. And if I am in a app, then next to middle button appears a Back button.

As I do not care for Google Assistant, I have disabled it. Now, when I tap and hold Middle button, it does nothing.

Is there an option to disable Back button and change Middle buttons behavior that a tap is Back and tap and hold is Home?

Thank you.

P.S. I am rooted and Magisk installed.

Hi, so I obtained a acer iconia a500 yesterday, It turned out to be in APX mode which I don't have too much info on.

But how can I get it out of this mode its stock specifications. So no custom rom.

Thanks in advance.

It is too old , you should trash it
[Acer Iconia A500] turnert:
Try holding the power button for a couple seconds until the light turns off. If it is still in apx mode after that remove the back cover(you can look up a teardown online) and unplug the battery then plug it back in.
[Acer Iconia A500] Salsaman4372:
Plug it in with the battery disconnected?
[Acer Iconia A500] cgigate:
Lol, battery cannot be disconnected...
[Acer Iconia A500] Salsaman4372:
No, through a ac adapter, and yes you can disconnect the battery, I just did.
[Acer Iconia A500] cgigate:
Battery is not removable...

Unless you open the case to disconnect the battery
[Acer Iconia A500] Salsaman4372:
thats what I did.

Did it work or is it still in apx mode?

Hi,

Yesterday I flashed Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588 to my Vodafone v1615 NL phone, only to discover that JAVA wasn't included. So I looked around in this wiki and found this link.

It links to several cabs of Esmertec Java which are supposedly the same as the ones included standard.

After installing I immediatly noticed that the splashscreen of the JAVA app wasn't very clear. The letters were grainy etc. I tried both with and without cleartype. I figured that it wouldn't matter. However, when I downloaded Opera Mini, I found that it was SLOW. And not only that, where I used to be able to pan around using my finger (ie swiping it over the screen to move the screen fluently) it now doesn't work. This is because of the lag there is. So on the original ROM it was able to pan without ANY problems. Does anybody have any idea how this problem can be fixed?

I tried all Esmertec cabs that were listed!

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] raiisak:
Confirm that Opera Mini is slow. I think Dutty is onto it on his fix/next ver.

Is the Pixel 4 XL from Best Buy bootloader unlockable?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
I am curious as well. Not sure yet, but I pre-ordered the unlocked version from BestBuy for pickup on the 24th, if it is not unlocked, I'm going to return it. I'll check when I get it (unless someone knows)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
Nice. Well I just ordered from Google directly. Didn’t want to take a chance.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ilal2ielli:
I did the same. Everything I've read for the 3a release says that the unlocked ones from Best Buy were also able to be bootloader unlocked.

Makes no sense for Google to treat this release any different, but Google does plenty of things that don't make sense. So I'm still hoping there's some logic here.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ethere:
Did you hear anything on your pre-order yet? Mine shows on the website "Pickup available on Release Date: Thu, October 24." but an email I just got shows "We were just informed that the fulfillment date for the item listed below has been updated to Friday, November 08, 2019.

You don't need to take any action at this time. We'll keep you posted if anything else changes, and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready.

We appreciate your patience, and thanks again for shopping at Best Buy®."
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
What was your order? Mine is still for pickup tomorrow, orange 64 ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ethere:
Sprint XL White 64 GB. Yeah, the website still says pickup tomorrow so I'm hoping the email was just wrong.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
Hopefully it is wrong , what I suggest is contacting the Best buy customer service , mention the email and see if it's the matter of switching colors if they're short on the white one if you're open to that. I know that the phones are in stores now but they cannot release them till tomorrow

I posted this in another thread. It might help some people out.

My IMEI starts with 35 (Apparently this means it is a Verizon model, but I really don't know if that's true). I turned on phone, skipped all the setup, and went directly to see if I could unlock it. It was greyed out. I then activated it in Google Fi and the option cleared up, I enabled it and unlocked bootloader via fastboot. Hope this helps some people out there.

You cannot buy a carrier locked model and expect that the bootloader will be unlockable. The folks who post that they were able to bootloader unlock their carrier models are just lucky.

Now that Google has Pixels for all carriers the unlocked models at Best Buy are straight Google variants.

What is the deal on fully locked Pixel 4? How can that actually be a thing?!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Droff:
Does activation in this context mean full carrier lock or just some sort of a service contract. I don't mind signing 1 or 2 year agreement with AT&T to get additional $200 off, but if that phone will get a locked bootloader during "activation", then that's a no deal to me. I would rather get it somewhere else, pay $200 more or maybe just purchase Oneplus 7T instead. I'm still on a fence and very interested in how this plays out. Does anyone have a reliable info regarding how this BestBuy carrier "activation" works?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ilal2ielli:
All the carrier locked ones are bootloader locked from the factory.

The few that have been able to unlock before putting in a SIM or connecting to WiFi are just lucky.

I understand wanting to save money, but there aren't any guarantees that you'll be able to bootloader unlock a carrier locked device.
