ANT(+) is for connecting fitness sensors such as a heart rate strap, power meter, speed sensor etc for cycling and running. A lot of phones, Apple especially, don't even have this feature at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
ANT is never active unless a device is present that uses it.

A package blocker is more useful.

Karma Firewall* will stop on wasteful Google, Android, Samsung, 3rd party apk constant polling.

Google Play Services, 4 times each minute... for what?

Android Services 2x @minute.

Goggle Backup Transport and Backup Framework are major offenders as well even with screen off.

Disabling them in settings doesn't stopped them on my 10+ running on Pie, you may be luckier on your load.

Hello,

I have the LG LM-V405QA model of phone, and the FM radio on HavocOS does not work. Is this a hardware limitation? or is it some file I can edit in the system to enable FM functionality?

Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to acquire the One UI 3 beta for my SM-G973F but I recently updated to the December patch. Is there a way at all to downgrade to the November patch without losing data?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
I think if you downgrade it wipes your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] beavermjr:
I know that you can go back using smart switch and that definitely does wipe the phone. If you take a look at this thread, it seems possible to downgrade without harming data: https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-samsung-android-11-to-10-oneui-3-oneui-2/

Hi,

I want to change the "gui" of my touch dual, maybe putting something like manilla. There are some apps around to customize the PPC like XIAMultiTheme (see post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396910). I want something nice and change the feeling of the Nike but something fast. Which one do you think is the best customization? I like the one of that post, but i am afraid is going to be slower.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Sneakdovi:
Hi, I have bought this OP8pro last week and I already want to root it. I really miss viper4android, adblock and many other apps. Since I use payment apps like google pay.. will I have any problem after rooting my device?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] sensui123:
Unlike my pixel phones where I had to have certain modules to mod specific tables... The OnePlus just works and passes safetynet after rooting with regards to google pay. It's nice to have it back hassle free.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vanish0104:
The only thing that you have to do on stock is enable Magisk hide and it will pass SN. On a custom ROM you have to edit the fingerprint as well and that's super easy to do with the MagiskHide Props Config module.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Consequence? There isn't any. Widevine L3 I think.

That's it.

The rest is profit
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Sneakdovi:
Whatis Widevine L3?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
It's required for certain security measures to be adhered to..

For example if an app really doesn't care if you're rooted or not then it won't matter (and most don't)

But if it's let's say a really tedious banking app or Netflix or something that it'll require better level of security.

Widevine is broken with root to a certain degree.

Only way to know is to check.. It's all reversible so honestly there's no risk anyway.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] humzaahmed155:
Didn't OnePlus solve this recently? I believe they issued a patch for Widevine L3 and rooted devices..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Not sure buddy, I never had a problem with or without it.

Only affected certain apps.

Great if they did.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] sensui123:
It only affects my Netflix as far as I can tell .. Can't get biometrics to work also on one banking app but I'm not sure that's due to widevine....I do know I've tried many things and can't get L1 back.... But I don't want it badly enough to lock bootloader/unroot etc.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Nah I wouldn't either, it's a very small price to pay for all the root goodness.

Guess it isn't fixed @humzaahmed155

I don't imagine it ever will be as it's a security feature
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Sneakdovi:
I managed to root. But I can't use paypal since it crashes when i ask for SMS verification at the initial setup
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Did you turn on systemless and magisk hide?

Then reboot?

Is safety net passing?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Sneakdovi:
I set everything a rebooted.

And this is my safety check result
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Perhaps nuke PayPal, (clear data on the app then uninstall), make sure play protect is turned on in the play store.

Install it, don't open.

Go to settings / apps / PayPal

Enable all permissions

Open PayPal follow explicit instructions.

Should work
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] MakeMeFibonacci:
You may want to also change the Magisk Manager package name. Some apps will look for Magisk, SuperSu, and other SU managers to determine if you're rooted. Netflix was doing that to me, but once I changed Magisk Manager's name to "Aardvark," my problems with Netflix stopped. You should be able to do this in the Magisk Manager settings.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Yeh, changing the Magisk Manager name can resolve these types of issues....

Wow, thanks for this ROM.

I am actually only looking to get root and a custom ROM in hope of defeating a well know issue on the S20 series with stock:

The maximum screen brightness starts to dim after about 20 seconds, which is very noticable on Google Maps e.g. and it becomes almost unreadable in sunlight. Do you know if this is fixed/overridden in this ROM?

Oh, and does it include a camera app that uses all of the back sensors? I tried a few Gcam ports so far and they all crashed when switching the back cameras.

(I read you can't disable/uninstall it because it kills phones boot.)

Also.... Thank you VERY MUCH for BeyondRom! Together with "ADB AppControl" it's all I need for perfect S20+ setup :)
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Lun4cy:
See the pictures attached.

Its the normal Samsung Camera App so you won't have any issues there. Regrding GCam: i'm using ZGCam which works fine for me. You can get it here.

So far i haven't encountered your dimming problem but i never use the phone with max brightness since half of it is more than enough, even when the sun is shining bright.

But i'm facing different problems:

Soundcloud has major problems. The music (via bluetooth and over phonespeaker) stops after a couple of minutes when the phone goes to lockscreen. If the app is in the background the music stops right after the lockscreen shows. Had the same problems with my music player app but it was fixed after turning off all battery saving options. The soundcloud issue remains though. Also it drains the battery even when i don't use it - so i have to force close it everytime after using the app. Any ideas?

Also: the batterylife is horrible. One day moderate use and the battery is empty. Came from a low-end Xiaomi phone which i charged every 3-4 days. Don't know if this is Rom or debloat related since i flashed this Rom right after i got the phone. Or maybe the batterylife of the phone itself is crap.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Knotte:
Great to know about the Samsung Cam!

I tried ZGCam on stock ROM and the additional lenses did not work, it always crashed when switching. Maybe it needs root. But I prefer the smooth transition between all 3 lenses with the Samsung app anyway. Only thing that bugs me is that it always puts the screen to full brightness, even at night, that's stupid.

That's interesting. I'm coming from an HTC U11 which has a maximum brightness of 470 cd/m² while the S20+ has 740 cd/m². But when I'm in the sun, the S20+ is way darker and hard to read, like there is some grey dimming on it. I have adaptive brightness on of course, since it will only reach its maximum with this and I have disabled every battery saving option, but still the screen is darker at maximum than my U11.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Lun4cy:
Oh you're right. Seems like i haven't tested the different lenses. Now i did and the app startet crashing. So now it crashes everytime after a few seconds and the app is unusable. But it was working before. Well...doesn't matter. The Samsung Cam is also good in my opinion.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Knotte:
You can just clear cache/data for the ZGCam app if you want to use it again. ;)

Since we're at it: Does this ROM show the Bluetooth battery status of a connected device in the status bar? I missed that on stock.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Lun4cy:
No but thats not an ROM/Samsung issue. This has been the case since Android 10 in general. Had the same "problem" on other phones running AOSP etc. But there are apps for this.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Knotte:
It does show up in the status bar notification area in LineageOS on my U11 both on Android 10 and 11.

What you need to do:

1. Apply the multidisabler patch in TWRP to disable encryption

2. Reboot into TWRP

4. Boot into the system...

I have a question as I am stuck with Baseband version 'Unknown' and 'IMEI (or MEID) is empty' even after flashing latest 4 file SW with ODIN. How can I solve this: https://xdaforums.com/t/s20-5g-g981b-with-baseband-unknown-imei-not-found-after-flashing.4639939/

Background: My old G981B got a bad battery life, USB problems and the back glass cracked. So I bought the same model again and tried to backup version 6.6 on the old, install current stock on the new, restore my backup there and install the update to v6.7. This did not work and I got kernel/sw version mismatch bootloop. So I tried reinstalling current stock and phone boots again. But now I am stuck with Baseband version 'Unknown' see linked thread.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] einstein16:
You have to check if files exists in your /efs partition. If it doesn't have any, then it's fcked. You got a corrupted efs partition. The only way to restore efs is to restore from backup. This is why I always make backup of my /efs and modem partition everytime I do something.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Doug08934:
Many thanks for this, but you seem to be telling me how to disable encryption, which is already done.

What I am asking if there is any way to re-encrypt the system partition after installing the ROM, so certain apps that require encyption will work.

[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] -DIO-:
Samsung encrypts by default

Therefore, in order to install TWRP and Root, you need to decrypt the partition.
