[Magisk] whitedavidp:
I am new to being rooted with Magisk. What I need to accomplish was super easy on my old phone with SuperSu. On my new phone with Magisk, I simply want to silence the power on and power off tones that are played. I have tracked the ogg files down and find them in /oem/OP/OPEN_US/poweroff/PowerOff.ogg and poweron/PowerOn.ogg. However, I have no luck in my rooted file manager of doing anything with these files. Not sure why.

I have never written a Magisk module or installer. I have seen the developer guide at <https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/guides.md>. I figure this is a personal module and so maybe no installer is needed? I know that a module is a folder put in /data/adb/modules and that the folder has at least one required file - module.prop - who's contents seem straight forward.

But I just have no idea how to proceed from there to accomplish what I want. I see the module's system folder is used to modify files. But what I need to process is not in /system so not sure how that might work here. I see mention of something called Root Directory Overlay System that might be helpful in all of this but I have no idea what is meant by "overlay.d folder". I see nothing of the sort.

Can someone please offer some guidance? Thanks very much.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
With Magisk you can only replace files in /system, /vendor or /product. Anywhere else you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way. If it isn't possible to mount the partition you want to work with as rw, then you're unfortunately out of luck. I have no way of saying if it is possible to mount that particular partition rw or not, since I have no idea what device we are talking about or what you have tried.

For this particular issue you are much more likely to find proper help in your device's forum though. That's where you find the people that know how to work with your particular device.
[Magisk] whitedavidp:
Hi and thanks for you help and speedy reply.

By "the old-fashioned way", I presume you mean something like mount -o rw,remount /system?

If I perform mount | grep oem I get:

/dev/block/sda20 on /oem type ext4 (ro,context=u:object_r:op_file:s0,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered)

/dev/block/dm-0 on /oem/OP type ext4 (ro,context=u:object_r:op_file:s0,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered)

I tried and can remount both /oem - at least mount now shows:

/dev/block/sda20 on /oem type ext4 (rw,context=u:object_r:op_file:s0,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered)

. But when I try the same on /oem/OP I get only:

'/dev/block/dm-0' is read-only

And, of course, I cannot manipulate the files at all.

All of this is really way above my pay grade. So I really have no idea what else I might try. Thanks (I have posted to the LG-V40 forum on this too)
[Magisk] abuchison:
I need to replace the vo_config.xml file in /oem ... directory. Editing it the old fashion way does not work as rebooting reverts back all the changes. Can Magisk module accomplish this?
[Magisk] whitedavidp:
At least on my device, I could not change anything in OEM.
[Magisk] abuchison:
I found the solution. Verity has to be disabled. You can accomplish that by HEX edit boot_a partition. Look for the verity string and change the value to "0"

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] evilskanker:
i am having a problem with a hot battery. It seems fairly common from reading, but I've not seen anyone else mentioning marks on the battery from the heating. The horizontal stripes on the inside of the back case have created marks on the battery where it has heated up. Does anyone else have this problem?

Also, a slight n00b question, if I do a hard reset, am I right in thinking I will keep the original ROM I had? Also is the 1.37.405.1 WWE the latest WWE ROM?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riel:
Stripes on BATTERY? Battery hot is not so normal, the chipset below the battery gets hot. Those stripes (I looked at it myself) are not from heating but just from pressure in your pocket :P I got em too. And the hot chipset doen't mind, you could have found that in one of the many treads.

With a Hard-reset you reinstall the latest flashed ROM, so yes, it will still be there.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] evilskanker:
Many thanks for the fast reply. Can others please confirm the stripes too? I have a few down each side of the battery. The 'plastic' also seems to be raising up slightly down all sides of the battery. Not sure if mine is too hot. Does anyone know if that is the latest official ROM too?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] akito:
Same here, plastic raising a little bit. Though have only got 3 stripes (adidas :-p) on the right, right from the word 'innovation' on the edge of the batt.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] akash_84:
Same issue here...didnt think of it at the time as it was charging

But then yesterday, the phone was on all day, paired to the car for about 3 hours and the phone was getting very warm

And it was not on charge at the time

Obviously something is not right... come from a Tytn (along with many old devices) and an N95 - neither of these heated up
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stufan:

Meme probleme la batterie deviens brulante après un appel assez long ou les connection data. Meme probleme pour tous les appareils??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ericsson68:
The strips are simply pressure points from the case and appear to be there to prevent the case from quacking like a duck - which coming from SE is a good thing!

The unit does get warm in use but mine is cool when charging. When it is warm I've taken the battery out and it's still cool but the processor is towards the bottom of the phone and this does get warm which I would expect, my Fujitsu N560 PPC used to do exactly the same thing.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Shreyash286:
I have a Moto G5s plus and am using a Pixel Experience Plus custom rom (latest stable). It's not rooted.

The problem I have is that the phone is working absolutely fine and never freezes while working and goes without lag. Only when I lock it, I sometimes am unable to wake it up with either the fingerprint scanner or power button. It takes a reboot (long pressing power button) for it to work again. This happened on the stock rom also and hence I decided to use a custom rom.

The phone does not overheat during this but does during charging. I don't know if these are related but that's all the info I have.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stderr:
Hi everyone,

I'm having great difficulty in programmatically altering the current WM theme in a CESetup dll (C/C++). There seem to be a whole raft of registry values which need altering in order to reset the theme from T-Mobile/T-Mobile2 to the Windows Default. To give you an idea of what I'm on about, the one's I've tracked down so far which appear to influence it include:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Skin

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\UseStartImage

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\BaseHue

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\SHColor

HKLM\System\GWE\SysColor

I also remove a couple T-Mobile's gifs in the \Windows dir which are removed when you switch themes through the Settings -> Today screen.

However, all these changes only seem to change *most* of the theme elements, images and colours to the Windows Defaults. The background image on the today screen and the background colour of the start menu are a couple of the obvious remnants.

I seem to have looked everywhere, but is there a simpler way to achieve a theme change, perhaps through a Windows Mobile Configuration Service Provider or some other less than obvious way? Not only would this be a benefit in actually changing the theme correctly, but hopefully it would make maintaining this dll much easier as WM versions advance.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Adrian

I Use Theme GenCE to modify or create a theme. It is very user friendly, works great and a freeware.

Download HERE

There is a tutorial on how to use Theme GenCE in the wiki...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stderr:
Thanks for your reply, Reaper. I've looked over the tutorial and grabbed the program; it looks like a possibility.

However, I really wanted to avoid creating a theme; after all, I simply want to invoke the Windows Default, which I understand is stored on ROM. I am however running out of options and time; creating a theme to emulate the Windows Default theme may be the easiest and quickest way out of this, although it seems ridiculous that it's this difficult to change the theme to the default programmatically.

If anyone's got any other suggestions I'm all ears. Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to where to acquire all the parts required to build such a theme to emulate the Windows Default theme (such as background images, colour schemes) I'd be grateful too.

The only other solution I can think of is to enumerate all registry keys, and all files on the filesystem, prior to changing themes through the settings menu, and again afterwards, and doing a diff of the two, so I can see exactly what needs changing. However, even this isn't ideal, given that hardcoding all these locations isn't easy to maintain, and there are so many keys and files that need changing.

I'm really struggling to believe there isn't a simple one-stop switch to revert to default...

Hi,

I had my phone in service so all data was cleared. I made a backup and restore it via OnePlus Switch.

The problem is that I can not log into community app or to Red Cable Club - error pops up of Configuration app -> com.oneplus.accont

I noticed, when I'm goint into Settings -> Account there is OnePlus account but I cannot do anyting with it - to others account I can get into and delete them. Also when I try to add new account there is no option for OnePlus account.

How can I fix this? I wouldn't make factory reset.

Maybe there is an option to delete account via ADB?

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Matt Spo:
Posted this on Google Pixel forum earlier but haven't had much action there, perhaps it's a better question for this community as would like to figure things out sooner than later as I'm currently without a phone.

Hope all reading are healthy and safe...

Pixel 3 on verizon still on Pie (9) with PQ3A.190801.002 build, which I believe is from August 2019. Have not modified phone at all.

One morning the other day turned phone on and stuck with a "Pixel is starting" message. I can access settings and receive calls, when connected to BT in car can make calls too. Cannot receive messages though receive "You have new messages" notifications, got an alert about a VM that I was able to access.

I realize I can likely do a Factory Reset to fix THOUGH I do not want to go down that path without giving it a go trying to at the very least pull some data off the phone (texts, photos, videos). Yes, everything *should* be backed up...

I tried connecting to computer to see if could recognize as drive and transfer files onto computer (Pixel and MTP USB drivers would not install- tried on two laptops running Win7). I know I should probably be updating to Android 10 and am fine doing so, but would like to recover files first.

I mention some potential solutions below I found by some fellow XDA members when searched this topic before posting and am curious if there is anything I should attempt to do before/instead of possibly going with one of the 2 below.

Thanks SO much in advance,

Matt

Possible easier solution:

From _Ra1n_ on xda forums

"I couldn't fix the "Pixel is starting..." issue. Factory Flashing (after removing -w) QQ1A.191205.008 resulted resulted in being stuck at the "G" screen. I flashed the QQ1A.200105.002 factory image (again with -w removed) and was left in the same "Pixel is starting..." state.

Here is where things get interesting:

Over adb I launched the Settings app:

Code:

adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS

Next, I went into "Security," which prompted for my PIN, and then removed the screen lock. After doing this, I was able to get into /sdcard in the ADB shell, something that was not possible before.

Back in the settings app, I enabled USB File Transfer and copied all my files & photos off. I was also able to launch apps from within the apps list in Settings. This let me export settings/data from other apps that allowed it.

So it seems that entering your PIN in the Settings app also unlocks the phone!

Possible more complicated solution:

From sic0048 on XDA forums

"Is you bootloader unlocked? If so, you can flash the factory image and remove the "-w" command as suggested above, but if your bootloader is not unlocked this will not be an option. If you are on a locked bootloader, you can sideload an OTA image (which really is a full factory image). This will not wipe your phone or do a factory reset. It will however replace your OS with a clean version. Hopefully that fixes the issue. If not, then you will have to do a factory reset in order to "clean out" the problem."
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] _Ra1n_:
Can you get into Settings? If so, you should be in pretty good shape. It seems like in the "Pixel is starting..." state, USB File Transfer (ie: MTP mode) only works AFTER the phone is unlocked (fingerprint or PIN). The problem is since the lock screen doesn't load, you can't actually unlock. You have to remove your PIN and/or fingerprint (I set "screen lock" to "None") and USB File Transfer should then work.

You should also be able to launch apps from the app list in Settings.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Matt Spo:
Yes, I can get into settings and just disabled the lock screen. I don't notice any difference but if you are saying that's what it takes to enable MTP then great. Seems like for MTP to even work requires some futzing in Windows, a known MTP issue I guess? I will have to play around on how to enable MTP and then hopefully device manager will recognize on computer now that lock screen disabled. When connecting to computer I'm alternating between use USB for file transfer both with and withOUT USB debugging on, even using USB for charging only, each time it tries to install drivers for Pixel 3, MTP, occasionally ADB. It's never installed Pixel 3, ADB installed once and MTP actually installed once (after disabling lockscreen) but asked for a restart and then didn't install the next time...

As far as launching apps from the settings, I *can* get into the app list but Android 9 does not give an option to open them (unless I need to do something else that's not currently set-up). I know you said this:

"There should be a "Open" shortcut just below the app icon to the left of "Uninstall" (or "Disable" if it is a built-in app)." But I don't see one. If I can get into my backup app, I can hopefully back up my latest SMS which I'm not sure would be possible by just copying things onto computer, such as photos/videos.

Once I get MTP enabled, should I just be able to access my files by opening my phone as a device or will I need to get into ADB to access?

Thank you for your continued help:)

Matt
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] _Ra1n_:
Honestly, it should "just work." I'm not sure why you're having issues. Did USB File Transfer work before you ran into this problem?

Ah, I forgot Android 9 didn't have this! If you're familiar with ADB, you can launch apps by activity. You may be able to launch the Pixel Launcher with: "adb shell am start com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher/.NexusLauncherActivity"

With USB File Transfer enabled you should be able to just access it like you normally would with it plugged into a computer. I was able to, at least.

Of course!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Matt Spo:
Never attempted USB file transfer before now!

Sounds good, essentially launching the Pixel Launcher will allow me to see all of my apps on the device and open whatever necessary?

Sounds great, just need to get USB File Transfer working on computer (trying on 3 diff ones).

:)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Matt Spo:
Sorry I'm likely not replying to this in sequence. That adb shell Pixel Launcher did not work, gave a type 3 error, does not exist.

MTP is not installing allowing me to access the phone as a device. Perhaps that's because I'm stuck with "Pixel is Starting" on my screen? I can launch ADB though, just trying to figure out to command to launch Google Photos so I can perform cloud backup from there onto my account. Also, would like to perform backup of SMS/MMS. The app I use "SMS Backup & Restore" gave me a shell command to try to launch a backup but did not work. I'm also trying a program called "backuptrans" which I was able to install on phone via ADB but am still trying to figure out a command that will launch the app so I can possibly use for backup of sms/mms/photos.

I am without root if that matters for anything. I have not given up hope of saving these photos/videos, sms/mms but it's getting frustrating trying various commands each night in ADB to launch apps to no avail.

Thanks,

Matt
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] _Ra1n_:
Let's take a few steps back. Does the following adb command list the contents of your internal storage?

adb shell ls /sdard

If so, everything is certainly still there. You can lookup how to use the "adb pull" command to pull files/folders manually. If not, please post any errors that are returned.

The following command should copy the DCIM folder from internal storage onto your computer (where the camera app stores pictures & videos):

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM

That will copy the DCIM folder into the directory your currently in. You mentioned you were using Windows 7, the command prompt (C:\some\path>) indicates your current directory.

The following commands should open Google Photos and SMS Backup & Restore, respectively:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.apps.photos/.home.HomeActivity

adb shell am start -n com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore/.activities.IntroActivity
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Matt Spo:
Thanks for your continued help, posted responses below. Also, after a lot of searching someone recommended the app "Backuptrans Data Sync," which apparently can backup all I'm looking to (SMS/MMS/Photos/Videos) and I have since installed the .apk to my phone (provided by developer) via ADB and am trying to figure out the exact ADB command to trigger that to open on my phone so I can attempt a connection to their software on PC via WiFi since I cannot get USB working. Supposed it's activity name is "com.backuptrans.datasync.DataSync"

Gives type 3 error, activity class does not exist
