[Galaxy S6 General] MrNice:
I spend some time to test some features.

So far I found that the fingerprint is not working.

I removed the Google icon but can't remove the apps in Settings > Apps. Is it possible?

How I could install alternative apps store like Apkpure, Aptoide? There are a lot of them but I don't know if I can trust them.

Do you know trusted app shop, good one?

Later if needed, I'll change the ROM. Just to be sure, should I use the same process as previously: Boot to TWRP > ADB sideload > Install the ROM > Install again Magisk.zip (?) > Wipe Cache/Dalvik and reboot into OS.

Question about Magisk.

If fact I don't understand the usage. I have read it's usefull to root devices. My device is rooted, so why I need it? What is the difference between Magisk.zip and Magisk Manager that I have in the apps?

When I start Magisk Manager, at the top page, there are 2 links "Install" to update Magisk and Manager, both look up-to-date. Strange, as the apps are up-to-date why I see these links? Have you the same?

Thank you for your patience.

Edit:

Just to say I don't have any browser where I could display and download apps. Maybe I should start first to install one. BTW what do you advise as browser outside GAFAM?
[Galaxy S6 General] waffelschnitten:
You can manually degoogle your phone I am sure, but I would advise you to just install a (stable) ROM that is already de-googled.

You can try lineageOS 17.1 if you want (best version I have found was this: https://lineageos.wickenberg.nu/zerofltexx), or look for older official lineageOS builds in this forum, or just any other ROMs.

My fingerprint sensor works, so I dont know about yours. But it won't work without Google apps, I think. At least not on this ROM I guess.

Yes, if you want to change your ROM later, that is what you would do. IF you want Google Apps and it is not included in the chosen ROM, you would have to install GApps additionally. But since you dont want google, you only need to Root and flash Magisk.

Most people use FDroid for a free App Store I think.

About your Question regarding Magisk:

Magisk.zip is the thing you root your phone with. Usually you have to root your phone again every time you install a new ROM.

Magisk Manager is an App that helps you manage your root permissions, so you can grant root access to apps or deny them. It is also there to hide your root from the google system and from apps that require un-rooted devices. I guess you can't run them without Google safety net etc anyways. Furthermore, there is a repository in the magisk manager app from which you can download various tweaks and scripts etc for your phone and flash it directly onto it, without needing to boot into recovery first.

Yes, I see the same installation buttons even though it is up to date. Maybe it is there to give you the option to re-install things to fix issues.

I would advise using Firefox as your browser.
[Galaxy S6 General] MrNice:
Thank you again waffelschnitten I learn a lot with you.

So far I installed

F-Droid, APKPure

Firefox, Opera, Brave

Signal but I can't start it because I need to update Google Play Services. I had reading about it and understand it is very difficult to avoid as it is a layer between hardware and software (?).

As you know I don't like GAFAM stuff but I'll be pragmatic and use it unless you know another way.

The issue now is when I start Signal, it ask to update Google PS and I am back to the previous window when I click update button. I checked that it is installed version 11.9.75 and the 2 buttons Disable and Force Stop are grey out.

Any idea how to get ride of this issue?

BTW what Instant Messaging app do you advice/use?
[Off-topic] defcomg:

In settings > network & internet, the mobile network option is missing. It looks like I may be missing an app?

I have a working USB modem that is connected, with a correct APN and good signal, yet am showing a "No service" in the status bar. My hunch is it has something to do with the missing mobile network option. Any help appreciated.

If you are certain you have the correct firmware for it, flash it again, if you have twrp, go straight into it after flashing and do a and factory reset. Also, be patient.

how to use firmware ota

menu : system > software > update > by usb

************

how to use firmware pkg

flashing method

* Decompress the file v8-mt56552-lf1v339.pkg and put it on its own in a flash mincer and put the flash disk directly into the TV input

* We remove the power cord from the TV and restore the power while pressing the middle button at the bottom of the TV, i.e. the Power button (there are 3 buttons, we press the middle) until it appears

The message is that we remove our finger and let it flash for about 5 minutes

Important note * Put the flash on the TV, and it is desirable that it be in the lower hole..Do not turn off the TV until it reads the flash while it is on, i.e. working...Then remove the power cord

And you press the power button to ensure that the TV reads the flash

* It seems that the company has dealt with the problem of not passing the flash for the first time, so it passes from the first attempt....

* As soon as the first flashing screen appears, remove your finger and let it flash by itself...

*Beware....Do not turn off the electricity until it completes and the menu screen appears with the language selection

*The process takes more than 5 minutes

The confusing thing is that sometimes randomly it works.. but thats in 1 out of every 30 or 50 tries. *I also randomly recieve messages days after they r sent*

Great info all easy to find!

I tried everything I could think of to find the stock ROM to get the boot.img out of to use Magisk on for my Moto g32 XT2235-2 (devon) and did not find it anywhere. No PC to run the Lenovo assistant (although this is my backup plan if nothing else works in a few days is find someone with a PC - I've used the tool before and it has saved phones for me that I messed up somehow).

Is there any way to pull the boot.img out of the phone itself with unlocked bootloader using fastboot commands or something?

Thanks for the link. It looks like that is for the xt2235-1 which by "retbr" I'm guessing means retail Brazil. I was looking to find xt2235-2 / "reteu" or retail Europe. I might try it eventually, but I'm in no hurry so I'll probably wait. Perhaps Lineage or other ROM will eventually be made.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] lrietz:
I had previously changed my Sprint V30+ to the stock US998 Pie ROM and I am not rooted. I just received a notice from Cricket Wireless that my phone would no longer be allowed on their network after they shut off their 3G network in 2022. There is a list that shows the H931 (AT&T variant) will still work when this change happens so I am wondering if there is a ROM that I could flash that would change my phone to an H931?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, the AT&T H931 TWRP-flashable zip. But you need unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed for that.

BUT if AT&T will only accept native H931 IMEI and not just firmware, you are out of luck. You probably got the notice because they can see your LS998 (Sprint) IMEI. My wife and my mother have native Open Market US998 on AT&T Prepaid (formerly called GoPhone) and they have recieved no such notice. Because AT&T knows they have the Open Market US998, not just US998 firmware flashed.

But you can try... You have a year to figure it out. AT&T's deadline is February 2022.

* LG V30 AT&T H931 TWRP-flashable ROM

* WTF Bootloader Unlock, TWRP Install and Root (all V30 except T-mobile H932)

Official Team Win Recovery Project for Alcatel Tetra (5041C)

First things first, any and all potential risk to a device due to choosing to modify it in any way is the responsibility of said devices owner AND NO ONE ELSE.

Requirements:Boot loader unlocked and root permissions. Or, boot loader unlocked and fastboot. for these refer to PizzaG and LgPWD's previous post located here. Some of the links my not be working at the moment but the instructions are sound.

If you already have bootloader unlocked and root permissions, simply download the official twrp app and select your device and let the app do the work.

If you have bootloader unlock but no root, use the tool from the above tutorial to access fastboot. Then using fastboot issue

fastboot flash recovery <path/to/twrp/image>

*Be sure to replace <path/to/twrp/image> with the actual path to where you have saved the recovery image.

Official TWRP image lives here

Credits:

1st thanks to Team Win Recovery Project for making this possible by remaining open sourced and flexible.

Thanks to bigbiff from TWRP for helping me through the process to get this device approved for official support.

Last but certainly not least, thanks to PizzaG, LgPWD, and all my people at A-Team Digital Solutions for all the support and allowing me to keep my skills sharp as a team member. I built the initial device tree for the Tetra, but it was through much trial and error that PizzaG, LgPWD, and I were able to finally get to this point with the recovery image.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] isko01:
Hi to all,

Can we charge S21U with 40W chargers? They are a lot chargers like Huawei, Xiaomi and etc... with 40W and more.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Geekser:
I believe the answer is yes - or at least probably. Most of those newer chargers are "Smart" in that they only provide the volts and amps that are needed by the device being charged. I may be wrong about that, but I don't think so - I don't think you have anything to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zoman7663:
Pretty sure you can, I use a 45 watt "smart" charger on my NOTE 20 Ultra without any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] doormouse:
You can use any charger that supports PD (power delivery), AFC or QC2.0

Any 45 watt USBC charger out there is going to be PD standard so you'll be fine.

The downside is, it'll still only charge at 25 watts.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MeisterGigi:
I am charging my s21U with an 40w charger, works without problem. not using 40 watts of course, but its working.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
The phone, all phones in fact, will ONLY charge at it's highest speed the phone allows itself to receive, the charger doesn't matter, it can be lower or higher than what the device is recommended for. A lower power charger will just take longer to charge the phone, a higher power charger will just not charge at it's full power if the phone won't accept the full power from the charger.

I've been using the 90w charger from my HP Spectre X360 my S20 Ultra since I got it without a single issue, I still get about 2 days of use per charge on that thing, and now I've been using the same laptop charger on the S21 Ultra and it works just fine.

The phone fast charges normally, doesn't get super hot, works just fine, and I only need to keep laptop chargers around the house, it's great haha
