[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BtB:
Rooting was fun back when I had my Galaxy S (the first one, you know...). Now when I buy a phone, I expect it to work out of the box, I don't want to invest the time in rooting, plus what it means in losing warranty, risk of bricking, banking or professional apps not working etc...

As well, I do want Android One because I can't stand overlays like MIUI, and I don't want to spend the money on a Pixel. There are still other brands that do Android One phone like Nokia, Moto are not Android One but close enough, etc...

The new pixel 4a is even close to be affordable, or the OnePlus Nord.

So to each one his own way to happiness, mine will be far away from Xiaomi. I do not concur with great hardware (had 4G and WiFi clunky with both A1 and A2, the backlight on A1's keys failed before 1 year, A2 stutters badly....).

Even for the price I paid, A2 is a huge disappointment, even more when I know that Xiaomi could have done better by optimizing software just a little bit. Again, nobody forced them to go Android One way, so no excuses for doing it bad... To people like me, they just committed commercial suicide.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] KevMetal:
well like i said if you can afford 1+ i wouldn't be wasting time with Xiaomi..as for hardware ..i said in relation to price .. Motorola is a good option but honestly you simply get more specs with Xiaomi for the same price nowadays ..

the reason xiaomi is dropping android 1 is in my opinion the same reason it failed on other devices and why you will get disappointed all over again just with another brand is

while it is supposed to be light, user friendly and optimized for ease of use ..it has an opposite effect

it is buggy and lacking in key functions while resulting in an unpleasant experience which is super easily bricked ..you seriously think the bugs are only Xiaomi's implementation ? well guess again ...

besides which , you could flash an aosp custom rom and custom kernel without having to root or decrypt or whatever..still get security patches and have a "moto" "android 1" experience (known as aosp for years before android 1 was conceived )..

anyway like you say , to each his own . in my case i bought my A2 refurbished from Amazon for 50€ and i can't complain about my experience , not for a second ....my previous devive was a moto e4 bought new from Amazon for +-100€ ...

in both cases i enjoy playing around with my phonee to keep myself entertainment .. that's why i joined xda anyway ... customisation and fun ..im not sure why one would buy a light 4x4 off road vechile ..and join a club if what you really want is a 2xwheel washed and parked in the garage while you sip smoothies ..what am i missing here ?

if you really really just want a phone that works no questions asked i really recommend an iPhone if you don't want to mod or customize or performance boost etc ..and im not sarcastic, if i had the spare cash i would own an iphone too.. because i enjoy the differences between different phones and hardware , since i like tech in general.

a2 official rom state

Enabling Camera2 API is a very simple change - it is not so simple.

Selfie camera (just 5 mpx) and secondary back camera (a lot of issues) are not camera 2 api compliant.

no idea why, but when i installed during august official rom, i have still no big issues till today (but some features from paranoid android are still missing :().

till today there is no camera app port or camera app which can be compared with simple usage of the stock app (open camera is for more complex control).

xiaomi wll not make any new android one phone, exactly what everybody wanted, yeah ... it is similar to olympus leaving camera market (nobody wanted it, ehm :D).

Fixing the settings suggestion bug would be simple. - is it really a big issue?

ok, simple question - is there any not fixed bug which is not more app related (google duo etc.)? everynody is writing just how bad it was ... yes - 5 months ago.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
Fixing the settings suggestion bug would be simple. - is it really a big issue?

you tell me. is it ok to have to reset the storage for it every 2-3 days? when like you say. it"s a simple fix. that users have been reporting since the first q release? how fast do you think this bug would get fixed if this was any other brand? no.xiaomi did not and does not take android one seriously. we're at the point where we are hoping they dont introduce new bugs. let that sink in for a minute.

Reset storage each three days - do you really do it due to a bug in os???
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
not the whole phone storage, the setting suggestions app's storage/cache :D
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] mvgjaa02:
Please give here an screenshot/ detailedndescription of the issue, i am just curious what is the issue :).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
the issue is simple. if you would run the stock rom you would see it.

open settings and there's a customize your mi a2 sugestion that you cant dismiss. it's annoying because of the twitch it causes whenever you navigate through settings and come back to the main menu.

to get rid of it (so far) you need to: settings, apps, all apps, show system, find settings suggestions, storage, clear storage. but 2-4 days later it comes back, you need to ckear again.

btw. looks like this month the mighty xiaomi dev team takes a well deserved break. we probably wont even get the security patch....

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Does anyone have recommendations on how to go about disabling packages to help with battery life and general minimization of unnecessary things? I'm using Package Disabler Pro for Samsung.

For example: I just searched for "Bixby" and disabled every single package I saw. Is that safe? I'm always worried I'm going to end up having the opposite effect by disabling something I "can't" (shouldn't).

Any other obvious candidates beyond Bixby? Guidelines for how to go about it most effectively/efficiently?

Thanks in advance! :) It's been a while since I disabled packages this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] BlinkThinks:
I'm not so sure if this is what you mean:

Considering Samsung bloatware is one of the reasons why I ditched Samsung phones - I had 3 Note 2 and they were my last Samsung phones, until now. I was hoping too that the Samsung bloatware is now minimal. Apparently there's still the Samsung email, Music, Messages, Phone app, etc.

I searched around and found this guide. I dunno if the procedure will work for the N20U5G. I have yet to receive my unit. Until then I can't confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
i aim to err on the side of caution when disabling apps. even with that approach i managed to cripple my phone few times. i disabled Samsung device security once, forgot about it, and then spent few days despairing why may i couldn't update apps no more. My suggestion would be to disable app by app and remember what's disabled to undo it if need be. Also research what you want to disable, you can Google it directly from package disabler, and then make a decision.

One more thing disabling apps will not have significant effect on battery life or phone performance. It is more for us to feel in control.

Hello everyone,

I have a Xiaomi note 10 lite with an unjustified battery drain from Google play services. I have done everything to optimize it, including disable the ability to change system settings.

This is something that made a HUGEEE difference in my old OnePlus 6, this is why I wanted to give it a try.

Problem: it keeps getting back on. Everytime I check is enabled again. I had the same issue on the op6, but I don't remember how I fixed it. Any suggestion?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] yashgr8:
Hi Guys,

My k20 pro crashed recently after an update. I cannot flash it because of following things

1. No recovery mode

2. Bootloader locked

3. Cannot unlock bootloader because I was stupid and i did not enabled oem lock from MIUI.

I only see System has been destroyed error!

Only FASTBOOT mode is working and when i try to flash from flashing tool it expects for unlocked bootloader which i cannot now because of point 3! :(

I know there is EDL method but i cannot open the phone at home and service centre is closed due to covid-19.

Is there any way i can do the point 3 above? or is there any other method to unlock BL and then flash it?

Thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] rasik107:
One method u can try,

download platform-tools folder.

extract this folder.

i.e

\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools

download fastboot ROM (.TGZ) file of MIUI 12.0.2

extract this file too.

copy all files from this folder to "\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools"

boot device in fastboot mode.

Open platform-tools folder.

U will find one file named "flash_all.bat"

double click on that.

it will install MIUI (10-15 mins) and reboot automatically.

Currently, I connected KEY2 line to ground, My screen displays "start update", I have a rom in USB but it doesn't recognize the rom, 3s later screen appears "update end".
[Android Head-Units] crayBoy:
I've resolved the problem "Device is stuck at logo and couldn't enter recovery mode" : check your Android head unit power cable, there is a line named KEY2. Connect this line to ground. reset your device (use reset hole) then on screen you will see : "update start", now you're in update mode. Make sure you plug your USB in with the firmware, all files will be installed automatically. Make sure you're using right firmware, if not 3s later, screen displays update end.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] YandereSan:
Every single Nexus and Pixel device I've ever had is plagued with this issue. Basically, at some point of using the device, I end up with a folder called "storage" in the user directory. Deleting this folder wipes out the entire sdcard directory, completely clearing out all of the user data, photos, etc.

When I navigate it from root, it looks like this:

/storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated/0/

/sdcard/storage/emulated/0/

When connecting the device via mtp, it shows up under the internal shared storage as "storage".

Is there any way to get this to stop happening? This bug is very annoying. :(

It is a very, very old issue.

[Realme X3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] SiddharthBharadwaj:
Introduction

This is a LineageOS Recovery compiled from the source tree of LineageOS 17.1 for Realme X3/X3 Superzoom.

Instructions (Installing Recovery):

1. Download recovery.img & vbmeta.img

2. Reboot to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

3. Flash vbmeta

fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

4. Flash recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

5. Run

fastboot reboot recovery

to enter LineageOS Recovery

Instructions (Installing Magisk):

You have to use the official Magisk, version 20.4 or later. Installing an older Magisk may make the system unbootable.

1. Download Magisk >= 20.4, put onto computer

2. Reboot to LineageOS recovery, select `Mount /system` (you may see some errors, but they can be safely ignored)

3. Select `Apply update from ADB`

4. Run

adb sideload Magisk-xxx.zip

5. You will see a signature verification error, select `Yes` to bypass the check

6. Reboot to system to enjoy your Magisk installation.

Notes:

- Since it's not TWRP, you cannot decrypt your /data in recovery for now, which means no data backup or recovery, and you cannot install on-device flashable zips through this recovery.

- Since it's not TWRP, it cannot prevent your OS from overwriting recovery automatically. If you use official ROM, you may need to manually re-flash the recovery every time. I'm not sure whether this can be bypassed with some Magisk module.

- You need to always click "Mount /system" before flashing any mods into the system (i.e. Magisk, OpenGapps, etc., ROMs themselves are not affected), otherwise they will fail to install. (Clicking the option does not actually mount /system; it just sets up necessary mappings from the super partition to each of the dynamic partitions so that the installation scripts will work)
