You programmatically create a ( complete ) backup ( clone ) of phone #1 - only a small script is necessary to do this - on a high capacity external SD-card plugged into phone #1, then move that SD-card to phone #2, finally being on phone #2 ( what must be rooted if Android system is also backed up !!! ) programmatically restore the backup - again only a small script is necessary to achieve that.

The necessary scripts preferredly are Windows batch-files that make use of ADB.
[Android Head-Units] Hackmett4Real:
edit: I had to replace links with search terms

Hi,

one year ago I bought and installed this android head unit from aliexpress for my Suzuki Liana:

Android system 2.5D 9 Inch car multimedia player for Suzuki LIANA 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010-2013 car radio vehicle gps navigation

Some stats: Android 8.1, CPU: A7 1.3GHz, GPU: Mali-400, RAM 1GB, ROM 16GB, Radio Chip: NXP 6851, Amplifier: AC 7315 4*45W

Everything (even including they steering wheel buttons) works fine only the internal microphone is virtually useless. I read that some head units have really cheap and weird cable-ling going through the Bluetooth module. It also just be the cars vibrations transmitted in the head unit casing. Anyhow, the microphone as it is, and thereby any google assistant functions, are non functional. Unfortunately the head unit does not have any jack for an external microphone.

I saw that several people redo the wiring and solder an external microphone in the head unit. I would like to avoid this, since I am not that familiar with electronics and I am not keen on disassembling my dashboard (again).

I read that some people with similar problems connected a external USB sound card to their radio to get around this. I bought an external card and a microphone on amazon (Sabrent USB External Soundcard and augustcoco Microphone 3.5 mm External Microphone). I tried it on both USB ports of the head unit but nothing changed.

I have 2 questions:

1) Does anyone has an idea to make an external microphone on this head unit work?

2) If the USB soundcard would work, can I only use its input (microphone) and keep the output sound from the head unit? I do not want to change the output, since I can not reroute it back from the soundcard to the head unit.

Thank you for your support!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] noemisael:
Hey xda community, I have had galaxy notes for the past 5 years, love them. Galaxy note 4 and note 5 were great writing tools in college, very precise back then. When i got my note 9 i noticed certain spots in the screen where the pointer offsets to the right so when im writing my words look all jacked up, something that never happened on note 4&5. This happens in the left portion of the screen, not even on the edge, about 5mm left from the flat portion of the display. When i place the spen close to the screen it can be seen that the pointer offsets to the right, about 3mm or so, on most of the screen is fine, lining up with the actual tip of the pen. Does anyone else have this problem? Its even worse with external spens like the one on the galaxy tab s6. See pics for more info.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the response, but unfortunately is not the spen itself since it happens with all spens like i mentioned with the one from the galaxy gab s6. I just want to know if you guys are having the same issue, try hovering the pen on the left side of the screen like in the pictures i posted and see if the pointer offsets to the right and while you move the pointer to the middle of the screen youll probably see how it lines up to the actual spen tip.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Pearzilla:
Hello, I've been on the fence for a very long time with getting a OnePlus device. I was finally ALMOST ready to buy the 8 pro but the curved screen kept me away. I've always stuck with the pixel and have had no problems with them besides the terrible screen restate. I really wanted to buy the 8T pro until I saw what they did to the UI in os 11. I really don't care for Samsung at all. Will OnePlus still be the ultimate stock Android ? Is the core OnePlus community happy with os 11 UI overhaul at all?

If I had known coming from a Pixel 2xl, I would have waited. Not happy with it at all.

Don't be worried about the UI. I'd people complain they'll change it, some respect the same from Samsung.

Plus with the development in XDA and the like you can rest assured that other ROMs will be available.

Bare in mind this move from OnePlus is to steal Samsung customers, they've already done that Vs the ultra, I'm one of them.

Thank God I didn't buy the ultra (ordered but it didn't come, Exynos is a turd)

Paranoid Android, carbon ROM, lineage, several Magisk ROMs,, there's even miui and Nubia lol,, don't worry about the new 11, plus things can still change, I'm sure anyone helping with the alpha and beta versions are reporting that.

I'm remaining optimistic about 11, might be alone in that but what else can I do?

At this point in time and since it's launch, there is no better phone than the 8 pro, installed a GCam app today and that's pretty much sorted the camera for me, wasn't bad to begin with

Never cared for Samsungs One UI, preferred Cyanogen/LinageOS any day on any Samsung (as long as it was a device where the correct RIL was anailavle, for obvious reasons). On all Samsungs, and OnePluses I've had I've pretty much always used Nova Launcher (as I would on any Pixel too). So, the only place where I actually notice any OEM UI:s is on the settings page... And ind the case of OP8 A11 (as I'm currently using as daily driver), I actually kind of like it. It's smooth, easy. Especially in dark mode (I always use dark mode). I'm all for it. I like the fact that OP does this instead och forcing a bunch of apps on us (Samsung-style) and weird framework changes. This is no reason to "not get a OP device" if you ask me.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] sixshot84:
Hi guys,

Had my lite for a few days (SM-N770F/DS) and liking it a lot, although still adjusting to a few Samsung software quirks.

I'm not too impressed with the screen though even though reviews all seem to say it's good. General image quality is fine but I get some pretty bad ghosting/motion blur with text when scrolling, most noticeable when scrolling fairly slowly. White also goes a bit blueish when viewed from anything other than dead on. Anyone else have this issue? The scrolling ghosting is the most annoying. I've come from an LG G7 which I can only assume was 60hz so wasn't expecting to notice a difference. Could I have a bad screen?

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bradical711:
Hello everyone, which custom ROM is the most feature rich for the Pixel 4 XL? And which ROM do you personally use/prefer as a daily driver? I have been using DU since 14.4 to 14.6 but am thinking of trying other ROM's. This ROM is by far what everyone said it was, stable, great SOT, excellent features, etc. I mean, basically the best experience I've had next to kirisakura kernel on stock. But I would like even more features/customizations and was hoping their might be another ROM with more options to choose from. I would like an honest review from people that use other Pixel ROM's before I make my decision. I love DU's ROM but would like to know about someone else's experience on AOSIP, PixelDust, and the like. The more anyone can rant about these ROM's and give a review, the better for me. Thank you to anyone in advance willing to type something up.:)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] neo_lithic3K:
I'm currently using PixelDust-CAF (PD), but I've also used DU for months. Both are great roms and very smooth so I don't have much to complain about. This is not going to be a thorough review b/c I don't remember all the specific gripes I had. One thing comes to mind.... I like to center the clock rather than the default left justified. PD has this feature but DU doesnt. However, I'm noticing that every so often, PD would switch back to clock left even when the setting says it's centered. Then I'd have to reboot the phone to 'resolve' it. Nowadays I leave all the rom customizations to default and tweak the customizations from GravityBox instead. (GravityBox lets me center the clock as well without any issues. It also has most of the customizations that PD and DU offers ... at least from what I can tell).

For a time, I used stock rom with GravityBox but I do notice that everything seems faster and smoother on DU and PD.

I've read comments from others that DU support team is rude or not as friendly, but I've never had to contact them for support so I don't know if it's true or not. Whereas..... PD support seem to be friendly and more eager to help. They've helped me with PD issues in the past. Also, in the past when DU was not on xda, there were no instructions posted on how to install it and no xda-type forum to easily get assistance for DU. I haven't used DU since they posted to xda though, so maybe things have improved. Contrast this with PD which has been on xda for a long time, so you may be able to find more detailed information or tips/answers for issues you may encounter.

Hi there,

I'm about to order a Galaxy S10 directly from Samsung since they are way cheaper than what my carrier sell them. But, when I do my carrier tells me that VoLTE and VoWIFI will not work on Android phone bought from other than the one they sell...

I've read a little bit and it seems that I'd have to change the CSC of the phone, I've chatted with samkey about the particular model and it's not supported, because of bit 4 or something like that. Anyways, I've downloaded samfirm and found the firmware for my provider "VTR" but it seems that all firmwares from any provider in Canada share the same thing because what is getting downloaded is a "VLS" and the CSC one is "OYV"

I need advise to modify the firmware or options in my new phone to make it look like it's coming from my provider (Videotron) and when I insert the SIM (with NFC+VoLTE) in it I have a chance that the option will be available.

I'm an IT Specialist, I've flashed my old S7 with those files before with no luck. It's the same story with the S7, bought from Samsung, initialized with an other provider SIM though. Then flashed the phone with my provider CSC got a proper SIM card and I had them enable VoLTE on my line, but the option never showed up. I'd like to be able to enable it on my new phone, that's why I'm doing research before getting my hands on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
Can't you just download the video tron firmware and flash it to the phone with Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] FrAllard:
I sure can, just wondering if it's gonna work since last time I did that on my S7 it didn't work.

I downloaded the firmware using SamFirm v0.5.0 for 2 providers, VTR (Videotron) and RWC (Rogers) two very different providers and I compared the two CSC files using sha256 and they are both identical (I didn't test the big 5G files though, but they have the same exact file size). So I'm wondering if I'm even downloading the right thing now. It's probably multi CSC. Then does the stock Canadian Samsung firmware the same as the one I'm downloading?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
It should tell you on sam firm what firmware you need to download or if you're running the current stock firmware, then just look in settings to see what base band you're on and go from there. I wouldn't flash rogers if you have another carrier, that may cause some issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] FrAllard:
Thanks I'll look into it a little more when I actually receive the new phone from Samsung. I wasn't going to flash a Rogers firmware, I downloaded it to do a compare and check to see if they actually are identical to VTR ones and they seem to be identical, at least the CSC files are.
