[LG G8 Questions & Answers] firedroidx:
Hi guys. I got a G8 from a friend whose friend's dad is a radio tower engineer for AT&T that got this phone early. It's a prerelease phone (says "not for sale") on the back, and it comes with software that is seemingly far behind what shipped with the public version of the device. It's Android 9 with the December 2018 security patch, SW version G820UM04b. This version is pretty buggy and doesn't have some features like air motion. It seems like the initial software release for the public phone was G820UM10g.

Whenever I try updating the device, it just says the software is already up to date. I've done more factory resets and tried more tricks than I can even recount. Got a fresh new SIM card. Called AT&T and got them to manually push the update to my IMEI (which is correctly registered), waited a day for the update. Tried LG Bridge but it's incompatible with AT&T devices. Looked for kdz files online for the AT&T version that I can flash using LGUP, but there's no AT&T files available (pls tell me if anyone knows of any out there).

I'm at my wit's end guys. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this phone updated? I'm realizing that I really took the ability to just unlock and flash my old OnePlus for granted :eek:

Where do you live ?

Mobile AT&T only support to update OTA if you live in US !
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] firedroidx:
Sorry, forgot to clarify that. I live in the USA and I use AT&T.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] onslaught86:
On the face of it it's not looking good. There aren't any KDZs for ATT as standard, and you can't update OTA - one thing to check here is the S/N field, pre-production LG phones are usually missing this, which is usually why OTAs don't work.

However, pre-production devices can, sometimes, be cross-flashed. You could try using LGUP to flash a more recent US unlocked build. It is likely to give you the IMPL lock / mismatch / crossflashing not allowed error, but it's worth a shot.

If that doesn't work, your best bet will be to ask your friend's dad to take it in to work (when he can...) for whoever looks after devices for his team to flash it to production as a favour.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] flyoffacliff:
I am preparing to use this phone as a dedicated display on a custom embedded system. Changing the boot logo is a must. I have been playing around with it and reading threads for hours and no luck.

Rooted with the latest Magisk, TWRP, unlocked bootloader, the whole 9 yards. A10 Stock ROM. I don't care I break SafetyNet, just need this to work.

I can't put the new bootloader on the system partition because it's mounted as read only. Since it's A10, I haven't found a working way to modify it with TWRP or within the ROM. Has anyone been successful yet?

There are existing Magisk modules for boot animations, but I need a custom one, and I don't know how to make it into a flashable ZIP. How do they do this?

I also tried a Magisk module that is supposed to let you put the boot animation on /sdcard, and it gets overridden on boot by the module, but that did nothing. But it was on a OnePlus forum, so maybe incompatible.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MightyAsh:
Hi

I think since A10 you can't mount the system unless in certain ROMs. You can try flashing Lineage OS 17.1 ROM since it allows you to mount the system partition.

I'm not sure about how to compile a magisk module. But you can Google it or search it here in xda, I think you might find a post about that.

i think you can mount system within twrp then use the twrp file manager to move it. if not, get a terminal emulator, su, mount system, mv file.xxx /system or whatever folder youre looking for

Ok so after reading the Myspace thread I jumped on the bandwagon and became totally

obsessed with it - now that the Myspace obsession has died down, I've become hooked

on Facebook!! I love it! I think it's so much better then Myspace and Hi5 and all

those other 10 million sites that exist . . . At first I wasn't too keen but my

friend made my profile for me . . . I was told "it's at a 'university' level and

doesn't have any bogans or teeny boppers" I guess what she meant was that it's a

bit more "mature" then the other sites . . . Ok it's hard to explain! But i'm

totally hooked on it now and it's really not helping with all this uni work that I

have to get done!!

Does anyone else use Facebook??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] privacy_and_terms:
This notification already appeared more than once

It's written that it's sharing my real time location. I didn't share it to anyone and whatsapp has no location permission.

[IMG="permission denied"]https://i.ibb.co/gd96kKJ/photo-2020-04-29-22-44-02.jpg[/IMG]

Recently my battery started draining faster, I tried to find out why, and found this:

Whatsapp keep accessing these movement sensors and this is not something you can block with the permission system.

For instance, this can be used to track if you are staying at home or moving around during quarantine.

Or make a profile of you, how much time do you spent in the same place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
WhatsApp has a state-of-the-art GPS location technology built-in.

Just for the sake of saving battery life, in Android you can disable GPS, which is the feature that will drain the battery the most: Google Settings -> Location -> Mode -> Battery saving.

Doing so only Wi-Fi and mobile networks are used to determine your location.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] privacy_and_terms:
But Android blocks the access to all those info unless you give the app permission to location, and the location permission is denied for whatsapp.

And that notification is supposed to appear only when you share your real-time location with a contact, but I didn't share my location with anyone.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
I wouldn't recommend you to mix stuff together because it can introduce values that conflicts with each other to some possible very random extent. Though it's your device - try it out and report back with accurate feedback on how it does perform.

Any testing with kirisakura's kernel? You said not to mix things
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] woundman:
I see your script runs Fstrim. I thought Fstrim doesn't work on F2FS system partitions. Figured I'd mention it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pkgnex:
It should work on any kernel... I've used on on stock and EX on Pixel 4, but I used it on kirisakura on my previous Pixel 2 XL device. If there are any issues, let me know.

Thanks for the heads-up. Running the fstrim command doesn't return any errors, so the script is "safe" to use, but if it's not actually doing anything on the device, I'll remove it in a future release.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
AFAIK - only the /data partition is using the "newer" f2fs filesystem on the three latest Pixel line-ups..
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pkgnex:
Looks like you're right.

That said, I stopped trimming /System to be safe once Android went SAR, and /Cache is sym-linked to another partition anyway. So, I don't think the commands are actually doing anything anymore - at least not anything useful since /cache isn't really used for much on newer Android versions.

I'll be removing the fstrim commands starting with the next version. In the meantime, it's not really hurting anything.

So something strange is happening after my April update (Tmo device).

When I used to share pics and other items from apps to my contacts by clicking on share, the top list always used to show my recent contacts so I can quickly share items with them. Below that I saw all my other apps, etc.

Since the last update, the top line of contacts is not getting updated and sometimes shows up empty.. Did anyone notice the same issue? Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks.

Did you manage to find a fix? This is really frustrating
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
I have had trouble with the GPS on my device ever since I received it.

The start-up time is very slow 5-10 minutes standing in the garden.

In the car I very rarely get a lock at all

Once I finally get a lock the signal is poor and drops out easily.

When I restart a GPS app (even 10 minutes after closing) it seems to take the same amount of time to re-start as though it is starting from cold again.

I've tried Google Maps, TT6 and the HTC GPS tool, several different ROM versions, aGPS on and off, Quick GPS on and off. None of which seem to make any difference.

Yesterday I decided to give TT7 a try and had the same problem getting a signal but also had the following message on the GPS screen 'Poor GPS reception, are you in a building?' I'm now convinced this is a hardware issue as my previous touch diamond (HK version returned due to a faulty speaker) picked up the signal quickly and was very reliable. I have spoken to the Expansys about this, but they have said that if I can get a signal at all then it is not a hardware problem and must be software related.

Is anyone else having similar problems or getting the same message in TT7

More importantly any one managed to find a fix for this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] akito:
If TomTom has a weak signal, then "Are you in a building" is a standard message TT7 is giving. Whether you're in a building, a basement or metal encapsulation.... it will give you that message :) Mine takes about 15 - 30 seconds to get a fix, with TT7 when I use it for the first time after my phone has booted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
I still get this message if i'm standing in the middle of my garden. The performance you are getting is similar to what I had on my first device, Which was one of the Hong Kong devices from Expansys. The replacment which I am now using is a European version. can I ask which version of the phone you are using.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
What ROM version do you have?

My HK one had issues with the shipped 1.34 ROM but is fine now...

Have you changed any of the default settings for GPS?

I have not changed any settings and my TT works fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] akito:
Mine is European too, Dutch to be specific.

It's running rom 1.37.404.3.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hlov:
Same problem in my samsung omnia

Ay help please or if someone knows how to disabled the internal gps so I can use my external gps receiver.

Got it! , I will try it! Can you tell me if you flash permanent the recovery you still can flash a ruu later without do anything else? Also on the viper rom you suggest to flash your Touchscreen hexpatcher ? with flashing the header patch from venom or only the kernel pie 0.2 from venom i am not sure with what i have read..

Thanks you!
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JEANRIVERA:
RUU should always works if done properly regardless of whatever you flash in your phone, and the hexpatcher will be only needed if you are on stock kernel, if you are using a custom kernel, then use the patch from venom
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Max128:
I have asking it for to be sure, because some of my old phones like the htc 10 when you flashing a bootloader without a red text you should restore the original bootloader for flashing a ruu or a firmware if i am remember correctly.. I am pretty sure you are already know that but is for why i have asking it.

For my other question , so i am assuming the viper is on a custom kernel so i know now what files flashing.
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JEANRIVERA:
Rom and kernel are 2 different things, you can flash viper Rom and have stock kernel, or you can flash a custom kernel, custom kernel do no need the hexpatcher only stock kernel does regardless of the Rom you are using
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Max128:
Of course i know rom and kernel is a different things. I was thinking since the viper is not a official rom is need a custom kernel.
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JEANRIVERA:
it doesn't requires a custom kernel, it is completely optional, just remember, if you stay on stock kernel, then you will need hexpatcher, if you use custom, as far as i know there are 3 available, CleanSlate, Kirisakura, & Beyond Stock, any of those 3 you will no need to use the hexpatcher
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Max128:
Got it.

I have forget to tell you since your recovery is a port from twrp, when I write you about the bugs the other days, after that I have take the last twrp I have make a full backup with no errors , more later I have restored my backup with... I had got a bootloop on htc logo every times, I have trying to fix it but nothing to do... I was forced to install again the viper rom after that I was able to restore the data partition and is worked. Probably a bug in twrp restored, I am guessing probably have this bug on your recovery also.

[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JEANRIVERA:
Not possible, this recovery is based on TWRP, every limitations on TWRP will also be here, Devoting HTC stock Pie at the moment is not supported by TWRP, but you can Decrypt AOSP Pie Encryption for example GSI ROMS based on PHH work like ViperExperience,

( except I was forced to delete some files in the recovery about the lockscreen , he didn't want let me to put again my password.. ) after that i has put again my password.. )

The problem now is on the recovery i boot it from the bootloader, the recovery stays on the logo pitch for a long time after that is said to me to put my password i enter it but it never want to decrypt the data. So i do not know why the recovery do not want the decrypt the data and why is stay so long on pitch logo every times. I have not flashing viper patch because is for custom kernel.
