So I installed Lineage OS 17.1 with GAPS on my Pixel 1 XL, and after downloading Google Photos from the play-store, the Photos app has a message stating "...back up from you Pixel 3 device in Original quality are free and unlimited until February 1, 2022."

Pixel 3 ??? How does that happen?

Does anyone else experience this?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] giga502:
Check what your props.xml is set to, it MIGHT just be getting it from there?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kzrussian:
Where would I find that file, and is it easy to change it?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] giga502:
This has some useful info on it - https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-edit-build-prop-on-any-android-device.1948558/

But basically install an app like this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en&gl=US

And spit out here what's in the build prop file and we'll see if there's any tell-tale signs of what's causing it to come up as a GP3
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] giga502:
@kzrussian how'd you go?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kzrussian:
I'm not rooted yet...

I guess I'll have to root and try it. I was just surprised that the official Lineage OS for the Pixel 1 XL is set to mimic a Pixel 3 - or maybe this is a bug.

So would this same method of changing the props.xml file to Pixel 1 work on a Pixel 4A and allow for unlimited photo storage?

Is it possible to root and keep the stock android 10 + unlimitted google photos?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] giga502:
that's the million dollar question isn't it!

Android 11 and unlimited uploads is where I'd like to be!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kxra:
Phew, glad I saw this thread. I, too got a used Pixel 1 for unlimited original photo storage (I had a Pixel 1 XL when it came out but no longer). My plan was to install Lineage after I saw this comment on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/942cq8/_/e3hsbsw

But I'm glad I saw this thread! I'll keep it on stock for now
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Melionix:
Hello. this is one of the top options while searching on Google for this question, so I figured I'd share my findings with you.

The short answer is that yes, it does support unlimited uploads. You're probably better off not installing opengapps though, as that will make Google treat your device as a Pixel 3. Install Aurora Store and then install Google Photos from that and it should Just Work™.

I saw all the settings that I needed to put in and I've done all that. ex. wap.voicestream.com

Used to before WM6.1 the bottom right button used to go straight into my tzones account where I can check my minutes buy ringtones etc. Now its just my IE button which is perfectly fine.

how do I get back to my tzones, i guess say account page, back?
[HTC Excalibur] aaronb532:
According to this t-mobile support page the homepage for t-zones is http://wap.myvoicestream.com

However, I noticed something odd about it. When I go to it in IE it works fine but if I go to it in Opera Mini or on my computer I get forwarded to some stupid ring tones site. Anybody else notice this?

Also, is there any way to get the crappy wap browser back? Logging into t-zones to look up my account was the only thing I used it for but I actually prefer it to IE for that task.

How ad layout behaves when device orientation is changed?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m.schmidler:
Hi,

a friend of mine is developing a little tool to read out content of SMS. For example when he gets a SMS notification about a missed call (when the phone was turned off) he reads out the number and displays a default windows-notification (like task-reminder).

The problem he´s got is with "MessageInterceptorEventHandler". He managed to catch the message, but he cannot read the messages content.

Has anybody experience with C# / CompactFramework or this scenario ?

regards,

Martin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zaijian:
IIRC, one of the arguments passed into the MessageInterceptorEventHandler is a Message object, which can be casted to an SmsMessage object, which has a String Body property that has the text of the message.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m.schmidler:
thanks, it worked ! Maybe we release this app here, if anybody wants the same for his mobile operator.

regards,

Martin

Based on the fact that this is NOT my work as stated above, I'm NOT at liberty to tell you. No offense. I would contact xda member edmontonchef and ask him. He's the one who sent it to me. I would like to think this wouldn't be a issue because if it was mine, I wouldn't care, but it's not.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] ny-hardcore:

Device tree is based of DU trees (r11x branch) and vendor (also r11x)

New build updated in OP. Thank Senior Member ny-hardcore for this.

Changes: Lineage sources and kernel updated with latest google update. The boot.img was updated in the payload to eliminate a second boot flash after sideloading rom for working WiFi. Please report any bugs that I may have missed. Also, I never dirty flash over anything. They more than likely cause problems. I did a clean install of this. If you are on the previous build of this, I DO NOT recommend dirty flashing it.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Edmontonchef:
Flashed and running well. WiFi worked right away. I noticed the boot.IMG in the op has stock recovery so I used the derpfest boot.IMG for flashing instead.

Also it's still November ASB?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSayaMan:
I haven't been able to check everything out. One thing I just noticed is that I am unable to pass safetynet with it but not a big deal for me.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSayaMan:
The boot in OP will work as well so take your pick and yes I did notice its still November. He's working on another build though.

Is the boot.img a twrp recovery or? I am coming from stock, so would i need to touch twrp at all for this?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Edmontonchef:
Yep, Boot.img has recovery, you'd flash it to both slots in fastboot then sideload the rom in recovery after factory reset.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] d33dvb:
Is the derpfest boot twrp based? Can I flash twrp on android 11, or are these just stock recoveries?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] d33dvb:
Can anyone check and see for me if Nexmon works under LOS18?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Edmontonchef:
there's a couple floating around, one is based on lineage/DU recovery the other looks like stock. They function the same way.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSayaMan:
There is no workable Android 11 TWRP for this device. It is a stock like recovery to avoid signature verification errors while sideloading rom. You just need to be on stock Android 11, or another Android 11 custom rom to install this. If your on 10, you will need to update to 11, if your already on 11 then your already good to install, just follow the instructions and you will be good to go. DO NOT use the regular stock recovery. You will get a verification error. The recovery.img I supplied will install the recovery you need. Edmontonchef also reports success using derpfest recovery as well. You can find that on derpfest op. Either one will work.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSayaMan:
Nexmon is incompatible with this device and NOT worth the risk. Could still work but if used improperly could result in a paperweight.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] d33dvb:
Actually there are other snapdragon 730G with monitor mode support. Not sure how you could brick it, it's just a driver with monitor mode enabled.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSayaMan:
Bricking it is a whole different thing, you could just easily flash the software in that case and no big deal, but I have heard of device hardware being damaged by it. LOS is currently not patched for it. There was a Nexmon app in the google play store but it was pulled. For the internal Adapter you need a patched Firmware along with Nexmon, and so far i see you must build this for your own. Nexmon from the store still wouldn't work anyway. There is instructions on github on how to do it with a Nexus or Rasperry Pi but I have no idea for pixel devices. If someone is unsure of what they are doing and installs it on the wrong chipset, it can be dangerous.

Hi guys..

i think i need some help here.. iv had quite a few HTC phones ever since they came out ;) soo know my way around the software somewhat good :)

but, my new Diamond is the first iv had with buildin GPS .. but it seems like there is a problem with mine.. even thou in tomtom7 it can see the sat's and gives a "connection/detection bar" on the sat overlook page in tomtom they stay grey (not rly connected) (connected sats are blue)

and when im outside it connects now and then but disconnects from the sats more or less same sec :S and after 1-3min it get a connection again and gets cut off again as before, and so on...

iv tryed once - where it seemed to get an connection it could hold. and there it worked great even indoor.. but after shutting tomtom down and letting it rest for a bit i was back to the old problem... which is kinda fustrating..

any bright ideas?

i tryed making a vitual port with GPSGate but thats the same..

cant seem to find anywhere in the settings of WM where i can do anything about the GPS..

PFW//
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Aqrab:
did you try hardreset ?

if not

backup your files and hardreset!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Phoenix2000:
It seems that this issue comes from the A-GPS setting in Diamond Tweak.

Did you install this software?

Otherwise, try to use QuickGPS and download latest info.

On mine, this resolved the issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Furbious:
Nevermind, browser crash and beaten by Phoenix with the answer :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PFWilliams:
well havent tryed hardreset yet - keeping that as last way out.. would suck having to reinstall everything..

as far as i know i havent installed diamond tweak, and iv run quickgps 500 times to try and resolve it.. only thing i can think of it might have been if that i ran quick gps just when i got the handset, but dident notice my date and time was set incorrect.. not sure if that could have done anything.. but thats my best guess..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PFWilliams:
Right... dont ask why.. but just for the fun of it, even tho iv done it 500 times before i just tryed running quickgps (again again) ... and bob's-ur-uncle it works..

freaky.. wierd handset.. not like its not getting enough attention lol ;)

anyways.. thx for the help !

i blame the fact that its a Microsoft based thing lol..

cheers guys :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] deffez:
i have the same problem, i run tt7, gps connection show 4/5 satellites log in, but the tt7 remain grey. This situation is for 3/4 minutes and only after this time the tt7 goes on and color.

Which is the problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PFWilliams:
yea its wierd.. but dont quite know what it was that made mine work again.. i had my wifi turned on and ran the QuickGPS and kept the wifi going while starting and running tt7, and i stept outside, and it got connected like 3 sec after i wentoutside and held the connection which is great :)

but cant figgur out why it worked this time.. iv updated QuickGPS loads of times to see it that would help.. only thing i (think) i did different that time was the wifi was still on..

tho i have to add, unless your house is made of cardboard its not that great inside.. soo give it a try outside to give it the best chance of finding a connection =)

PS: Still works today.. takes 2 sec to get a connection under open sky ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Atsee:
Possible solution

Had the same problem. Just disable A-gps (with Advanced Config from Schap) and everything works fine. It seems that A-gps is not (correctly) supported by all providers.

Good luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PFWilliams:
I just installed the Advanced Config tool and looked through the settings, and somehow my A-GPS has been disabled, and I tryed turning it on, and quite right - i was back to having problems with the gps..

Disabled it again, and the GPS now works perfectly :D

Soo i am 99,9% certain that this is whats making problems with our GPS :) (thx Atsee)

[General Questions and Answers] tysonjg2:
Hello friends,

I have a Galaxy Note 5 from Verizon; Over the years, I've used this phone extensively for sending SMS messages ("texting") and now would like to gain access to the data files/database backing Verizon's Message+ app. As far as I can tell, none of the App binaries and their associated data are accessible via the standard [non-rooted] Phone-->USB-->PC interface?

A couple questions:

1) Can you confirm that Rooting a Galaxy Note 5 WILL NOT wipe the data that is currently on the device?

(I assume the Root process will not require the device to revert to a factory state, wiping the data files I seek to preserve?)

2) Can you confirm that rooting the device is necessary to access the App binaries & their associated data files?

3) Years ago I read that rooting the Galaxy Note 5 would permanently break the "KNOX" security mechanism as some type of tamper fuse would be blown. I assume this is still the case?

(This phone is no longer my primary phone so while I seek not to damage the phone any more than I have to, I'm now willing to bulldoze the KNOX functionality, if it means I can access the data I want)

(I'm aware the messaging data is likely stored in a proprietary data format, though I have heard rumors Sqlite is used. Regardless, the data format is not a concern provided I can access it)

Thank you in advance for your help!

SMS Backup & Restore – Apps on Google Play

[General Questions and Answers] tysonjg2:
Whoa, there is life out there! Thanks for the response :)

I'll definitely check out the app, but would definitely be interested in gaining access to a low-level filesystem copy of the messaging data directly from my device.

Can you confirm whether rooting an Android device generally leaves pre-exisisting data (before the root) in place?
[General Questions and Answers] indestructible master:
it depends what root method you use

if you use magisk or supersu via twrp, you need to unlock bootloader which when you unlock bootlaoder it wipes all data (bootloader is safekeeper to phone partitions, so they can be edited)

but if you use some one clikck root (like kingroot) you wont lose data.

and with root, even if you do access database in /data folder, it will be in sqlite database, and a lot, and completely unsorted.

you can copy it to pc, and create app which can read and sort from database, but otherwise is not usable other than archive, you cant use it in any other app again

but with app without root, you gain same thing, even if you cant use in any app again, you can keep it as archive, as it exctracts (without root)

but with app i think you would be able to recover and use again, depends on device, (like, you wont be able to use those messages from samsung to lg messagess app)
