Hello!!

Thank for your work.

Are the gaps included?

In the changelog it indicates that they are included, (optional) but then there is also the opengapps link. In the download folder I only see the ROM, I don't know if they are included or have an ROM installer.

So you are asking for the smartphone version for your professional device, correct?

No. I have a WM 6 standard device.

WM 6.1 standard is already out, and it has a newer version of IE mobile.

Is it possible to get the IE from WM 6.1 standard to run on WM 6 standard (or even WM 5 standard/smartphone).

We're all in standard/smartphone version right now.

I assume something similar can be done for the pro/touch screen devices as well, but I'm not asking about that.

Thanks

PS. I'm well aware that other browsers exist, such as opera. I'm specifically curious about getting the latest IE on older devices, similar to how we can run new mobile office apps on older devices.

Hi i use Tasker, and it want to grand this setting. Is it in Android 10 disabled?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Ogloppi:
Hi,

I use two SIM cards on my OnePlus 6 (rooted OOS 10.3.0); one for personal use and one for work.

I've been trying to find a suitable shell command that turns off the second SIM-slot (SIM2) which has my work SIM in it.

The idea is to combine the command with automation software like Easer, to turn the second SIM off for specific hours of day.

You currently have to go to the phone settings and disable the second SIM manually.

After searching the internet I found this thread on stackoverflow: LINK

The suggested solution says to use what is called service call function:

service call phone x i32 y i32 z

Where:
x = index number you fetched previously,
y = your subscription ID (generally, SIM1 = 0, SIM2 = 1)
z = whether on (1) or off (0)

I tried digging up the correct x value as suggested on stackoverflow and came up with the following command:

service call phone 178 i32 1 i32 0

However, after running this command as root on Termux terminal, it outputs a lot of text and nothing seems to happen to SIM2. It doesn't turn off.

I've attached the output of running the command.

I wouldn't want to just randomly call some functions by changing the x to a different number. Who knows what you might do to your phone, as you're running the command as root after all.

What gives? Am I just using the wrong function call? If so, then what is the correct one?

Any tips or leads on what to do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mastiff:
I did a reset and root of my S9 in the fall, and then I thought the SMS backup from Titanium Backup gone. But today I actually managed to find it, hiding in another directory on the SD card, and I have no idea how I managed. But can I get back those messages in my system in any way? If I do a restore with Titanium Backup I will overwrite the messages that are already there, as far as I know there is no "append" function. Does anybody know about a way to fix this? Editing the XML is close to impossible, it has far too much stuff that needs to be changed.

Forgive the noob question but Are we able to use this recovery to flash kernels etc?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] jhofseth:
If you just wanted to flash kernels, if already rooted you could could just use an app like Franco Kernel Manager, etc., to flash kernels. A main purpose of this adb enabled stock recovery is to allow decrypted filesystem access in case you could not successfully boot into OS normally. For example, I know of someone who used it to delete a particular file that was causing boot loop after they rebooted right after installing Viper. When we get a fully functioning TWRP for the 5G McLaren, this recovery will be unnecessary.

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] jhofseth:
[MENTION=6692406]ntzrmtthihu777[/MENTION] came up with an OTA fixer, which is currently located at https://xdaforums.com/7t-pro-mclaren/how-to/hd1925-10-0-19-fastboot-rom-ota-fixer-t4040629 . Also, you would want to flash back the stock recovery (i.e, without adb enabled), and fully unroot, etc., before OTA as well. If you still couldn't OTA update at that point, then you'd want to backup important files to external storage and flash our device's latest MSM image.

Does anyone here know a good Post on how to unroot my device so I can go ahead and do the update for my phone?

I have a McLaren 5G T-Mobile. I'm currently on version 0.19 and I just received the OTA this morning to update to version 0.25.

I'm new to all of this rooting world. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] jhofseth:
You could try the OTA fixer linked in the post above your post, and this restores the reserve.img file in /data/reserve/ . After restoring reserve.img, you could open Magisk Manager and choose full unroot. Then, after rebooting, OTA might be able to install; if not, a surefire option is to flash the latest MSM image. The MSM flash in our device forum should be a last resort, because you would probably want to back up important files to external storage and almost everything is replaced starting from scratch.

I moved from TMO to Google Fi about a month ago and I haven't had any issues since moving over, other than this weird call terminating thing that I fixed with a new SIM card. However, I would like to get rid of the TMO ROM that is on here. Does anyone have any advice on what to go with? Just stock OxygenOS rom? I found it at the oneplus.in/support/softwareupgrade forums. However, I can't follow the instructions at the bottom because my "System Update" page does not have a settings button in the top right hand corner (I assume bc of TMO build). Also, the build number appears to be different. 10.3.3.HD01AA vs. 10.0.9 that I have seen elsewhere, but similar dates on them.

Do I need to unlock my bootloader and completely flash a new ROM? Sorry for being such a noob about this.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] champ784:
If you're on the TMO 5G variant, I would get the bootloader unlocked and then flash AOSiP. You can definitely use stock ROM, but are limited to TMO's update schedule which differs from OnePlus devices sold directly. With a custom ROM, you get flexibility. Just know you won't have a fingerprint scanner for the time being, but the software advantages and flexibility and battery life increase are worth it in my opinion!

So basically you only need to flash this stock adb enabled recovery if you softbrick your phone or get stuck in a boot loop? No point doing it otherwise, am I correct?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] jhofseth:
It is useful if you want root access to your filesystem from the recovery environment via insecure adb, or you want access to decrypted internal storage, etc., from the recovery environment. For example, I know some have used it after installing an audio mod that required further modification to allow booting. It could also be useful for personal file recovery prior to flashing MSM, because all files would be otherwise lost https://xdaforums.com/t/op7tpro-tmo...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4043925/ .
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] myxdad:
Ahh I got ya. So it's basically a stand if in for a full working twrp which we don't have right now. Also you say it only works on decrypted file system, by decrypted you mean if you don't have any lock on your phone (finger print or otherwise) right?

PS Do you know if there is anyway to get /system to be read/write? From what I read even rooted android10 system is read only.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ROMs, Kernels, etc.] jhofseth:
I type in pin to decrypt in recovery. As for system write, I think you need a custom ROM or to use Magisk modules with OOS as a file mount substitution workaround due to the specific read only ext4 formatting used.
