[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mmmmmoto1:
I just bought the Moto Z2 Force today (ATT version yuck). Basically I need to be able to restore data from google's automatic backup since I have apps and data there that cannot be reproduced (my launcher was discontinued etc). Since the ATT version cannot upgrade past android 7.1.1 it cannot restore from my old phone which was at a newer version of android.

Is there a way to kill two birds with one stone here? I don't want ATT on my phone but my main priority is to restore from google backup. What ROMs allow google restore? Is there a stock unlocked (not carrier version) of android for the Z2 Force that I can flash? This would be optimal for me since I like the android experience.

Would Lineage or Resurrections Remix work? (I have never used those so Idk how close to android they are. As long as I can backup I'd be happy to try).

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mmmmmoto1:
further questions...

I see this post:

https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/development/att-ocxs27-1094717-xml-zip-grabbed-t3905967

which sounds like it forces an update on the att phone. If I follow these steps I'll be able to at least restore from my old phone? But then is there a way to unlock / remove att bloatware after that?

EDIT: update. I'm using the LMSA to flash a newer version as found in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/general/general/update-moto-lenovo-moto-smart-assistant-t3951714

hopefully this will let me restore. But I still need to unlock the phone and remove bloatware.

Hi, I have got PX6 Android 10 (mtce_chs_v3.57_1) android radio and would like to know if there is any way to swap basic application icons on the homescreen for another?

Yes you can. First you have to move e.g. music app app away from the home screen. And when there is free slot on the home screen you can move other app there...

Is there any way to flash stock ROM with a locked bootloader ?

When i try to unlock bootloader with Mi Unlock, it is asking me to unlock some setting in the Mi app in the phone, which i cannot because the phone is wiped.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] kibria.mgk:
I'm assuming you're not telling some details regarding this but for your question, you can't normally flash rom with locked bootloader. You'll need authorized account and flash in edl mode.

Hi,

Phone: Nokia Lumia 735

OS: WM 10.0.14393.2551

Interop Tools (Store): 2.1.27.0

After opening weather app it says, that I need to download new version, but there is no update in store. I have found some internet sources recommending reinstalling app since there is some glitch that held old version due too combined os update and hard reset. Unfortunately pressing on app let it only pin to main screen and there is no uninstall option. I have dig deeper (and I regret) that so called default apps can be uninstalled with Interop Tools. I install Interop Tools (Store), but there is nowhere "applications" section as at least 2 sources says, so I can remove app. I'm guessing this is due to missing so-called "extension providers". On main screen of Interop Tools there is option called "Get extensions", but it redirects to some website with basic auth / htaccess in domain insidewindows.net so i'm unable to download anything.

Is there anyway you could help me kick this off, so I can reinstall weather widget? I would be grateful for some easy steps if possible, cause I'm obviously missing something and feel really dumb because of it :/

Check out OAndBackupX: https://t.me/OAndBackupX
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xT29c:
OAndBackupX is the next Titanium Backup.

Free and Open Source. The more apps I can get rid off that arent open source, the better.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dethknite:
*Just my opinion* Swift Backup is light years ahead and much easier. Works great on my P5. However, it uses your G account for authentication which means you have to sign in to backup/restore... which really isn't much of an issue. But it is the only TiBu replacement that has all the features (backup updated apps, backup modified apps, backup new apps, remove backups for uninstalled apps, cloud and local sync, plus... it handles split apks etc... and backs up permissions (allow/deny), and numerous system settings that are pretty dang annoying to have to reset. I want to love Alpha Backup (buggy backup), but it is just too simple and still needs a lot of work.. and the dev team seems smaller/slower to response. OAndBackupX is very similar.... I want it to work even more... being open source... but I just couldn't get it to work at the caliber I expect and do not trust it.

*Oh, and forgot to mention that it is the only backup solution I got working nicely with A11's new "Scoped Storage" and permissions...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Also, a fan of Swift Backup...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] simplydat:
Love Swift Backup!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
After years of Titanium Backup, due to the developer no longer maintaining the app, I bit the bullet and moved to swift and purchased the pro. It's much more simple and easier to use than titanium backup.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cognitivedissonance:
Just checking to see if this is still your opinion of these apps. As I understand it, OAndBackupX has been actively developed right along. Just wondering if it's a Swift Backup competitor / on par at this point.

EDIT: Never mind - the XDA page for the app is telling enough. Seems like it's still not a fully matured solution yet. Can't really risk that when there's a more reliable option like Swift Backup available, even if it does come at a premium.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] rajeshr:
Hi All,

I am thinking of buying the Fold 2 as I love the form factor but have always been wary of Samsung's skin in the past. I have owned a Note 10+ for a month (as well as other Samsungs in the past) so have used Touchwiz/OneUI and have hated the cartoonish UI as well as the penchant for duplicate apps. I am using a Pixel 5 for now as I enjoy the simple, basic Android experience.

To those using the Fold 2, how easy is it to get rid of the duplicate apps and how easy is it to "Pixelify" the overall experience? As for OneUI 3.0, are there any major changes expected with it?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] error311:
I hated TouchWiz and OneUI myself. I been nexus, pixel or as close to aosp as possible for last 10 years. I think for this case of foldable its different. OneUI actually has benefits such as samsung still makes tablets and shows using fold 2. All the OEMs release builds pretty quick anymore which is great for us consumers. At the end of day its still running android and android itself is great. Also check out at a glance for kwgt app on Google play store. Give you the pixel at a glance and u can customize the front screen and inner screen widget separate.

Thanks! I've ordered one over the weekend and hopefully should be here this week. I'll try out your suggestion for KWGT.

hello guys good evening everyone, I have an almost vital question for me, does it exist on our notes 20 ultra or can you download some application that allows you to take an astronomical photo of the night sky like google pixels? I mean with the classic 4 minutes of exposure, I tried to put the timer to the maximum (30 seconds) but the photos are worthless they are full of noise, does anyone have a solution? why samsung still insists on not wanting to add this thing? thank you all

You are not properly setting your pro mode. I take wonderful pictures at 13 seconds to 30. There is no app. But I can assure you with proper iso and shutter setting it can be done

Because of the lense/sensor size and their limited light gathering abilities smartphones aren't ideal candidates for this.

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Have you tried this?

What version of exchange? Tried this? And should be well covered here. Or may be I am wrong, good question, I will have to put my thinking cap on. Come to think of it I don't know, and I don't think you can ... may be I am wrong ... so will be monitoring this thread as I would also like to know!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stuarta99:
Exchange 2007.

The user can go into Contacts/Company Directory and then search the user, but was hoping to find something that can bring them across to the first Contact screen.

If that makes sense
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egoist6:
start outlook on your device

menu -> tools -> options -> address

add...

you can enter your directory and server name there.

should be visible under contacts -> company directory
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I think he knows that, but he wants it to be brought up under the main contacts page instead of having to spend data plan on getting to the company directory
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egoist6:
ah, i see.

on your pc, when connected to exchange server, why not copy them to your contacts list and sync them?

still do not see the problem.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] vettean:
I had lost root since updating so was looking for a stock boot image for 11.0.2.2 to patch in order to once again restore root by the fastboot method. (It is generally recommended that you patch your own stock boot image.) So, I downloaded your stock boot image which was 98 MB. In the past, stock boot images for the OnePlus 8 Pro have been 16 to 17 MB, so I am wondering if the 98 MB file labeled as stock is actually a stock boot image. Also, both files are exactly the same size so I'm guessing that they are both patched boot images.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] more_than_hater:
To be precise, its boot partition. Yes, boot may size 16mb but partition - not.

And so that's why you you can't say by size which file have patched boot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] vettean:
Thanks for the clarification. After the past couple of updates, in order to get root back I used the Magisk Manager to patch a stock boot image that I found online which was about 16 MB and then installed via fastboot on my PC. Using your 98 MB stock boot image, would I perform the operation the same way by downloading it to my phone and patching it with Magisk Manager before use fastboot?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] more_than_hater:
Yes, magisk manager can patch both boot and "boot-in-partition"

Now, is there anything special about manual upgrade other than having magisk put itself in the unused slot before reboot? Do I still have to disable modules as from 10 to 11?

I'm unable to root Oxygen OS 11.0.2.2.IN11AA by flashing the patched boot image. Is there something I'm missing? I have performed this method successfully on Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.IN11AA

1) Download 'boot_11.0.2.2_stock.img'

2) Open Magisk, Install

3) Choose Select and Patch a File, select 'boot_11.0.2.2_stock.img'

5) Reboot to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

6) Flash magisk_patched on both slots

fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img

fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img

7) Reboot to System

fastboot reboot

Okay, I got it to work with these steps:

1) Download 'boot_11.0.2.2_patched.img'

2) Reboot to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

3) Flash magisk_patched on both slots

fastboot flash boot_a boot_11.0.2.2_patched.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot_11.0.2.2_patched.img

4) Reboot to System

fastboot reboot

5) Open Magisk, select Direct Install
