[Google Chromecast] JoliBois:
Hey,

I'm looking to bypass youtube ads, that are getting more and more annoying everyday.

Do you think that downgrading chromecast to an older version (and blocking updates) would allow me to get youtube without ads, as it used to be a few years ago ?

Maybe setting a custom dns still works, but I've read that ads nowadays come directly from youtube.com

Did any of you tried that ?

Cheers

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] TrekkerJmm:
Does anyone know the file that shuts down the today screen? I want to add it to Resco Explorer so I can shut the screen down when I'm done. The pwr button on the right side closes down or shuts the screen down and that's what I'm looking to do and without adding another application to the startup menu...TJ
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tadeusz:
You mean to put Athe into sleep mode, cause this is what the button does?

Many ups have this feature, but it is usualy a feature of some bigger up. First to look for would be pBar, then wkTask, then SPB Plus and some more. There are also options to swith off the screen without putting the device into sleep mode. But I never heard of a file which would do only that. It would be a waste of space.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] TrekkerJmm:
Thanks fore the reply. I'm trying to do this without putting another program on. I had wisbar lite which did this but most programs are memory hogs and slow the phone down some. What I'm looking for is the command the sleep button gives to the phone to make it sleep. Thanks again...TJ
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tadeusz:
Yes, I know what you mean, but you need a good task manager anyway, so it is better to have one with some other functions, but still light for the OS, then not to have one. Forget about HTC task manager. This is rubbish. Get yourself pBar or/and wkTask and then you see what I mean. Both of them have this function on board. pBar is very light for the system, so light that I use wkTask as well, cause I like them both.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] TrekkerJmm:
OK thanks I will try them. I appreciate your help. I am going to flash a new Radio/ROM as soon as I can learn how to without bricking the phone...TJ

I just installed pBar and I like it, thank you again.

Hi

My 3 year old Moto G5 Plus running android 8.1 suddenly restarted today and went into Start up failure. It no longer shows My product or IMEI number. It just shows potter 000000000000000 32GB P3B

Bootloader logs read " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant" written in red.

I have my IMEI and product numbers saved on my pc, but the LMSA software does not recognise my device to even try to rescue it. I want to retrieve files from my phone before attempting a factory reset.

On using the LMSA, it says "lmsa doesn't match appropriate firmware. you can try to select a firmware manually" but then it has no option to select anything manually. I have my phone previously registered on the software on my PC.

I have not rooted my phone, nor used anything other than stock android. My bootloader is locked. I cannot remember if I had Developer options selected or not, most probably not.

On trying to go to recovery mode it says the same message " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant"

Please help! I really need to recover my photos and notepad notes. Is there any way? Any software?

Please help! Please!

Facing the same now .. what to do?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
Hey all! I recently updated from Android 10 to Android 11 OOS 11.0.2.2 and I have a strange issue I didn't have before. On grey/blue backgrounds, the screen dims and changes color a little bit after not touching it for 4-5 seconds. I already submitted a bug report but I just wanted to see if others are having this issue. I do have a T Mobile device that's been converted to global, but again this issue wasn't present before. I can't report as to whether the issue happened on OOS updates previous because I just updated and got 11.0.2.2. I've also linked a short video here showing the issue. If you guys have any input at all, it's appreciated!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
I may be having a similar issue. I am trying to view your video to see if it is the same problem. I have noticed that my color turns warm, as if the blue light filter was activated. It normally happens when I am trying to type in a field. In most situations, it happens when there is a lot of white being displayed.

I did not pay attention to the browser that I was using. It may be a Chrome issue, but that is only if we are experiencing the same thing.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
Ok, so we are talking about two different things. But, your dim is very subtle, at lease as far as the camera is concerned. Does mine do the same thing? No idea. I probably never noticed.

However, are you using Adaptive Brightness or manual brightness? In my experience, OOS 11 came with a LOT of bugs. I've been getting screen orientation problems as of late, and it would lock my screen sideways depending on what I am doing. I do not use auto rotate, and I am certain that I didn't press the rotation button in the bottom right corner. Even if it showed up, it shouldn't have, as I was using my phone in portrait mode every time that bug showed up.

TL;DR: OOS 11 - YMMV.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
So I have the same thing with the screen going super warm on white backgrounds too, primarily on web browsers. With the other issue it only happens with the brightness between 30-70% or so and the screen gets darker and the gamut seems to get a tad cooler but I've chalked these up to separate issues. No phone is without faults but it seems like Oneplus releases software without testing it at all.

Edit: I noticed the yellowing on Chrome, and nowhere else on the phone. Samsung internet does have the same issue
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
Yes, I have a slew of issues with Android 11. My problem is the fact that I like it a lot more than A10 w/OOS, sooo....I have no option but to tolerate them for the moment.
[Magisk] saar17:
Hello,

Attached you could see my current version. For some reason I can't see all of the modules in Magisk. There are some that I'm looking for and I know should be there but they are not.

Any suggestions? Is that becaus of android 11? Also would like to install edxposed but it is telling me version is to new? Is that the reason for all of it?

Thanks
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Exactly what modules are you looking for? There's been many purges of the module repo, so maybe the one you're looking for is no longer there...

And if you check the EdXposed docs you'll see that it "supports Android 8.0-10".
[Magisk] saar17:
Im looking for Adaway and greenify for example
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
No such modules in the repo. And I don't think there's ever been one for AdAway... You might be thinking of "Systemless hosts" that you activate from the Manager settings.
[Magisk] saar17:
I used to have Adaway (a stop sign with a white bird inside) and greenify when I used magisk on my OP5 a bit more then a year and a half ago...

Can you maybe explain to the system less host thing? Is there another place to download those apps/modules? Did something happened to magisk that all of a sudden there are less app and a lot are not supported anymore?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Like I said, there's been many purges of the modules repo. Modules that didn't get their installation scripts updated when necessary (they were basically abandoned), modules that were deleted by their creators (Greenify4Magisk is one example, IIRC), modules that John found shouldn't be in the repo anymore, etc.

And again, there's never been an AdAway module in the official repo (I'm fairly sure about this). The systemless hosts module is what you need, and then the regular AdAway app will only alter that rather than your system files.

There are many places were you can find modules outside the official repo (and an option to add third-party repos is in the planning stages). Your best friends in this instance are all the search options available to you (mainly XDA search and you search engine of choice).

Pros and Cons HTC Touch Pro aka HTC Raphael

I have Touch Pro with original ROM: 1.90.404.1 NLD

Done some registry hacks found in many threads.

Here is a PDF which has some of my noticed Pros and Cons of this phone compared to my old one: HTC p3300 and compared with the Touch Diamond and possible also the iPhone.

What do you think?

Does the camera light stay on when the camera is in video mode?

I had the Eten X500+ and when I switched it to camera mode (not recording video but switched from photo mode to video camera mode) the led light on the back would stay on and made a great flashlight!

Can someone let me know if the Touch Pro does the same thing?

That would be a definite pro! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dazza9075:
thing is, if they ever made the perfect PDA they would never be able to shift other devices unless it had major leeps in technology software and hardware wise.

That is exactly why i think they cut out the SD slot on the diamond and gave it less RAM. it makes a market for 2 devices, in this case the Diamond and the Pro, i am pretty sure that had the diamond had those two extra features sales of the pro would have been poor, only folk needing a keyboard would have bothered getting it.

Which is exactly why i cant decide which to go for yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] xdaking:
nice info, thanks mate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] elwuero:
I think it was mentioned that HTC had to leave out sd slot to keep it the size it is. I cant believe they would do that just to help with Pro sales. The keyboard is enough of a difference to get people to buy it. Just my opinion.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] elwuero:
On Pro if you open camera and click on options and then click on Flash On it turns on what I would call a "Modeling Light" that stays on then flashes when you take the shot - kind of like a strobe. So yes this modeling light is a great flashlight in a pinch. Thanks for pointing that out - I had not thought of that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dazza9075:
thats possible, but if you look at the size of them, there is very little difference in it, and the actual size of a microSD is only a couple of mm including the connections, their not daft, i wonder how many folk go for the pro over the diamond only because it has SD, and that will be the number of forced upgrades HTC has made by not including the SD.

I just had the diamond in my hands and its tiny compared to my Orbit, i dont need the keyboard but the SD is a big boon on the pro so thats the way im leaning. otherwise id have the diamond in a flash. instantly more money for HTC
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Incarniac:
Only of you buy it ;)

You're right in that they obviously need to distinguish the models sufficiently so they appeal to different market segments. A microSD was probably a feature that was decided to be in the more business-like Pro, and it's their prerogative to design their phones however they like. They're in it to make money, and they are going to try to squeeze as much money out of us as they can. :p

Anyway, there's always the Samsung i900 Omnia. It looks like an excellent phone, thinner, 8 or 16GB of internal storage as well as a microSD slot (although it does have a lower WQVGA resolution). Personally I went with the Pro because of the microSD (over the Diamond), keyboard (over the Diamond and Omnia) and the screen (over the Omnia).

Have fun making a decision, it's half the fun of getting a phone/gadget :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Indeed, in camcorder mode the light on the back stays on constantly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Ugh, the Omnia? I seem to be the only one who feels this way, but I think the Omnia is a piece of garbage compared to the Xperia/Touch Pro. I don't understand why it's included in all of the talks, every review I've seen makes it out to be comparable to an LG Dare... Which, although a nice phone, isn't going to really impress anybody.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Incarniac:
I wouldn't call it a piece of garbage, but you're probably right in terms of comparing it to the Xperia and Touch Pro. If the Touch Diamond is an option (as it appeared to be), however, then I would think the Omnia is as well (unless the difference in screen resolution is a deciding factor).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paultje_007:
2 new cons

Here are 2 new cons:

I would like to see more favorites in the Contacts Tab of Tflo3d.

It would actually than be unlimited 'Contacts Tab' and no longer '15 Favorites Contacts Tab'.

PLus I would like to see a bluetooth icon on the 'Start'-bar or Menu-bar when bluetooth is on. Now when bluetooth is on and you browse through your phone there's no way to tell if bluetooth is still on, no icons or flashing lights tell you so.

If you forgot it is still on your battery will eat more power than when it's off.

Good place would be just left next to the 3G (or H [HSDPA]) icon.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kempas:
Isnt't there a Bluetooth icon already on the start bar "just left next to the 3G (or H [HSDPA]) icon."...? Is on mine...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vido.ardes:
Just tried it on mine and I get one too, right where he suggested would be a good place :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paulyluca:
Yeap... there it is...

But the issue with the maximum of 15 contacts is bothering me too...

Did anyone find a tweak to increase that?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Syphon Filter:
I'm guessing there is a reg tweak. Some one on here managed to get some extra tiles and stuff on the programs tab (didnt get it 100% working but I think they're still trying). I bet there is a similar tweak for the contacts page.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paultje_007:
Bluetooth Icon and more favorites contacts

Yep, I got the bluetooth icon back, but had to perform a hard reset to get it.

So if someone knows the reg edit to get the bluetooth icon back ones you've lost it that would be great. I probably lost it using Advanced Config Tools 3.1 or when entering some reg tweaks from several threads here on XDA.

This is for when I lose it again.

Second: The adding more persons to the contacts tab than just those 15 'favorites', so far nobody knows how. The only solution is the upcoming touchXperience by schap's, but this is a completely refurbished touchflo3d version.

I hope this touchXperience is all I need, to make TouchFlo3D better than it is now.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] illi:
Still undecided

Great feedback. However, I still cant decide. If only the Omnia had a better screen resolution. Or if only the TouchPro had generous storage as the Omnia....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] season007:
I am not sure what is making it so hard, you can always get a 8gb microsd class IV on ebay for around 40, and the internal storage of 500mb is obvious sufficient for any program you'll need if you are worrying about the loading time...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NLS:
that Pro has "small" (?) internal storage is a non-issue

before x-mas we'll have 16GB microSD and probably even 32GB
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dagrim1:
The only reason I would be going for the Omnia (and perhaps X1) would be the camera... Although the pro camera is pretty ok the lack of a dedicated camera button, overall quality and settings would be something which would direct me to another phone...

Feature wise I love it, formfactor... looks... keyboard. All great.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] illi:

LineageOS 19.1 Official and currently built by LineageOS official infrastructure.

17.1 has never been official (and it's upstream dead since 31st December 2021),

18.1 is official, discontinued builds,

19.1 is official, discontinued builds,

20.0 is official and built weekly.

​

What's working:

Everything

Known issues:

Honestly at this time, nothing?

Some people report SystemUI freezes, in this case setting minimum refresh rate to 60Hz and peak refresh rate to 90Hz sohuld solve the issue.

Camera Notes

ANX camera is not recomended and will most probably NOT work.

To get a fully working camera try one of the gcams here.

Do not forget to copy&load the associated xml file!

Official LOS uses oss camera service, so xml written for other custom roms might not work.

The gcams at the above link have modified xmls for LOS.

Download:

There is also a MIcroG build if you don't like Google Apps!

LineageOS 20.1 Official

If you care for official microg builds, check here they will be ready when they will be ready, those builds are not done by me nor supported by me, do not ask me about it.​

There is also, for help and support, the:

Telegram Support Group (here you can also find last 18.1 and 19.1 official builds)

Instructions:

Make sure to flash at the firmware 14.0.5.0 (anything newer will work) from XiaomiFirmwareUpdater firmware page

Download this build and Magisk (optionally) and gapps (optionally).

Put the zip on your MicroSD (suggested) or connect via USB to PC.

Boot to recovery (latest TWRP only is suggested! OrangeFox has issues).

Wipe Dalvik, Cache and format data. This IS NOT OPTIONAL!

Reboot recovery after wipe and format.

Flash this ROM zip...

... flash gapps zip ...

... If you want Magisk, flash zip ...

Reboot and enjoy!

If you have any issues flashing, like persistent GApps or booting issues, try to cleanup the phone with the following procedure:

Download a full MIUI rom recovery package from XiaomiFirmwareUpdater MIUI page

... (make sure you download the full rom package for RECOVERY, it is about 2.4Gb!) ...

From recovery, flash the zip file. This will cleanup all the partitions.

Now flash again this ROM.

This problem is related to the fact that TWRP and OrangeFox both don't support dynamic partitions properly yet.

Tested with Magisk 25.2, newer version should work, but you MUST follow the SafetyNet fix guide in the next post if you want Play Store certification.

Passing SafetyNet and Google Play Certification

SafetyNet and Play Store certification

(guide updated 24 aug 2022, for Magisk 25.2)

LineageOS, by charter, does not alter any safety ptotection set by Google. In our case, having an unlocked bootloader, safetynet will always fail by Google decision. Now, passing safety net is required for banking apps and even some games. Also, it is required for "play store certification", which will prevent you from even searching for some apps (like Netflix).

Blame Google for all this.

--ALL STEPS ARE MANDATORY, NONE CAN BE SKIPPED UNLESS EXPLICITY OPTIONAL--

Install Magisk

Download latest stable magisk apk from Magisk website (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk). Rename it as .zip and flash it from recovery. Some recoveries, like TWRP, will flash the apk directly, others will require the rename.

Boot LOS and install the apk file.

Hide Magisk apps and Enable Zygisk & blocklist

Open Magisk App, go to settings and hide the magisk app. Give it a name you will remember.

After magisk app has been hidden, go back to settings and enable Zygisk (beta).

Now apply the blocklist and select all the apps you like NOT to detect Magisk. This must include Google Play Services and Google Play Store.

Install SafetyNet fix module

kDrag0n developed a fix that can be flashed via Magisk. You must download the module (https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases), select at least version 2.2.1, and install it from inside Magisk app.

Setup Fingerprint

Download latest Props module for Magisk (https://xdaforums.com/t/module-magi...t-prop-edits-and-more-v6-1-2.3789228/page-274) and install it within Magisk. Reboot your phone.

Now, after reboot, open a terminal (use "adb shell" from pc, or install termux from play store) and type:

su (grant root access!)

props (a text based menu will popup)

Now select "1" (edit fingerprint), type "f" (pick fingerprint) select "22" (poco) then select any one poco x3 model. Which one really doesn't matter, but make sure to choose the right Android version.

Confirm and reboot phone.

Clear caches for Google stuff

Now, open settings - apps and clear data&cache for Google Play Store and Google Play Services.

One last reboot!

Don't want root?

If you dont want root... Just disable it from within Magisk!

OPTIONAL Additional stuff

Magisk from 24.1 removed the built-in modules repository. If you like it back, you can install Fox's Magisk Module Manager app (https://github.com/Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager).
