Ok, firstly my appologies if this is in the wrong place.

I've tried to find the answer to my question all day, and i just can not figure this out. I am a newbie to WM phones etc, ive had an Omnia since yesterday.

Basically, i hear a lot of talk about setting up your GPS software. Well, i can not even figure out how to install any lol! :o

I've tried google maps, which just crashes! It wasnt pre installed, i have a vody handset which comes with find and go (also dont work)

So, could anyone add me to MSN, or help me with getting some software onto the phone, then help me set it up?

I'm very desperate as i have a 4hour car journey tomorrow and would like this working.

Cheers :o

Thanks, looks good. What happens on updates and factory reset, does everything get restored again?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
OTG updates and rebooting won't change anything, what's uninstalled will stay uninstalled, but factory reset will reset the phone to its original 'factory' condition.

does any one know if these lists to debloat are broken down into usable groups to warn if you intend to use a certain a certain application , eg samsung pay you cannot remove the following items, etc. I've had issues in the past that removing a few items caused others to malfunction. i just don't want to get debloat happy and cause kept items to fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
Ppl have different priorities, a relevant app for someone might be disregarded by others so you have to do it on your own. Best way to find out is to google the entire package name "com.xxxx.xxxxx.etc..." and look for the answers.

Wouldn't it be nice if Samsung acted like a respectable manufacturer and not some back alley pimp?

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
OK. That is the one I have seen outside the play store but was somewhat reticent to buy. But not expensive - not going to bankrupt me - so let me try this. Thanks (for the moment :))
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
All appears fine as before with this app. Disabled what I normally disable. Let's see how this works out.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
It's a very useful app. It allows you to set a widget that when an entry is checked it will toggle the apk(s) on/off by touching the widget

Uses very little battery. Runs clean and stable.

Something else unique about it is for troubleshooting when you clear an apk's data it leaves no nulls (presumably) behind.

It can completely clear a system apk's data that clearing the data in Settings will not.

That saved me a reload once and also allowed me to isolate the system apk that was causing the issue.

My Verizon branded hardly had anything on it out of the box. The second it hit the internet I got about 15 games and a ton of crap out of the blue. :mad:

What is Verizon calling that DT ignite app now? I can't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Package block Verizon updates. That's what I do with my AT&T 10+ variant.

It continues to run fast and happily on Pie.

Not missing Q one little bit or using excessive bits to get a file opened!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mprunty:
Have you disabled Verizon App Manager within the settings. I had the same issue you did. From Google-ing around, I found that this app can install apps without your permission (according to reddit)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] felloffthetruck:
Yes, just found it and disabled it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you don't disable updates Verizon can alter your firmware as they see fit.

Verizon like AT&T are partnered with Samsung, let that stink in for a few seconds.

Verizon gives active input to firmware updates from Samsung. To the point were the interface may be quite different from a stock Samsung... and not necessarily for the better.

The last updates are usually the worst; been there, done that.

Not taking that ride again🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kazlow:
i just purchased it but am scared id disable something and mess **** up. is there a tutorial somewhere where it shows what to disable and what to keep in order to things to run smooth aswell. ty
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
What works for one person may not work for another as there many variants of the same model.

It's best if you try to learn what the apk you're disabling does. Some have dependencies.

Some will boot loop the device if not able to run on boot up. I'm also using Karma Firewall so sometimes instead of disabling an apk I simply firewall block it to retain better functionality and ease of use. I have no easy solution that fits all. Learn by doing.

You should always be ready to do a reload with all critical your data backed up.

It's rarely needed but it can be needed at any moment with little or no warning.

That said I've never crashed an OS using a package disabler however your results may vary🤣

I use my SD card as a data drive. I can do a full restore anywhere, anytime with little or no internet connection in about 2 hours.

Without an SD card your backup alternatives are less attractive...

hello....

Recently i went to authorized service center for downgrading miui 12 to 11.....and the engineer told me there is a risk of failure during process which is not recommended,there is a 50/50 % chance of it....wanted to know is this true cause also went to same center before for battery issue and he downgraded it without any giving above reason....only this time i went directly and told him to downgrade....

thnx
[General Topics] ganeshg44:
advice please
[General Topics] Slim K:
It is not a myth by any means. All android devices (especially the ones shipped with MIUI) come with something called Antirollback. It is a protective index (or counter, depending on your understanding of android) that prevents you from downgrading your OS for

security reasons.

Now it is not absolute, meaning you can probably downgrade 1 version successfully, More than that and your device can get bricked. If you really want to try your luck yourself, you can download the Fastboot firmware and try flashing it, although the probability that it'll work is less than 50%. Go to your device specific Forum and ask there first.

[General Questions and Answers] ironsa:
I don't know if anyone has found a solution, but I have successfully rooted my X30. Before I begin, I am NOT responsible for ANY damage incurred by following these instructions.

Here's what I did:

1) Unlock bootloader-

This is pretty easy on the X30. You need to have adb and fastboot installed. In a terminal (for Linux, which is what I use) or command prompt (for Windows) type: adb reboot bootloader. Once in bootloader, type: fastboot flashing unlock. on your phone (the print is really small) use the volume rocker to choose to unlock. Oh, before i forget, backup anything you want to keep as this will wipe the phone.

2) Boot the phone up, sign in, and search for magisk manger for android. Download and install it.

3) Download the boot image I have attached (it is the stock image for the X30).

4) Place the image on the root of your sd card or internal storage.

5) Open magisk manager and touch install (the one at the top, as there are two). Next tick the circle next to "Select and Patch a file. Choose the boot image you downloaded from here and magisk will do the rest.

6) Now boot it back into the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader).

7) Once in bootloader, type: fastboot flash boot magisk.img. Reboot phone (fastboot reboot).

8) After the phone is booted open Play Store and download root checker. Once it's downloaded open it and check for root. You should see a prompt asking for you to grant root access. touch "Grant" and it will respond and tell you have root access!

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelumsd:
Hello everyone!

I'm using an Xperia SP with ViperOS (Android 7.1.2) and wanted to patch Framework.jar with some smali files to port Xperia stock camera for AOSP. I successfully decompiled my classes.dex file which found within the framework.jar, and I replaced the necessary files in order to patch that framework which is in the attached file. (storagemanager.zip). But when recompiling with smali it gives me following error.

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

I tried with many smali.jar versions but no help. So I think to upload my classes.dex file and the files I need to replace with files (storagemanager.zip) after decompiling classes.dex. Files should be copied to android\os\storage which get after doing baksmali for classes.dex.

If anyone can successfully patch my classes.dex I would really appreciate. :)

Thanks in advance (y)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] animez:
O.K. flashing my XV6800 with the official rom recently released was the first time I flashed anything. I am now serously considering reflashing to the new DCD rom to get the GPS functional. I realize I need to flash the radio as well, but other than that I'm flying blind. I have read through the wiki and think I can do this following a decent guide.

My question is, can I follow any of the guides out there, or do I need to take special steps now that I've flashed the new VZW rom? I've found a each flashing guides that I think I can follow, but would appreciate links for noob-oriented flashing guides.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] creasemonkey:
You will have to take the PRI back 1.37_002 using the RadioRefresh.cab. The "official" update changed it to not allow 3rd party GPS.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=421275
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
Is there any confirmation that this actually works for someone who has gone from the original Verizon xv6800 firmware to the MR1 firmware, without having done any other flashing that might have written values into the radio EEPROM/flash that we don't have visibility into? [I suspect this latter point is probably the source of the confusion of various tricks working for some people and not others.]

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion as to what restores the PRI and what doesn't, and whether the PRI is actually the thing that definitively controls the enablement or disablement of the standard GPS API, or whether simply something else that happens along with the PRI update might be responsible.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
i dont think were 100% sure of that yet. it may work using Hard-SPL 2.47

if you want to be a guinea pig, you can try spl 2.47 and a custom ROM. see if GPS works. im looking for the threads on this.

you can always revert to the MR1 firmware if you wish.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
I've considered it, but I don't think that I want to be taking the first big step there as I don't have any extra phone aside from the xv6800, and hosing that would be a PITA.

Presently focusing on seeing if I can convince LBSDriver to return useful data with the MR1 firmware, though I'd be interested if anyone can corrobate a known working procedure for a phone that has had no custom firmwares/radios aside from the original Verizon release -> Verizon MR1 release.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] animez:
To flash or not

Am I correct in assuming that if I do decide to flash, but don't like the results that I can just run the MR1 update again to get back to stock? I have read where others have said that they flash the MR1 without re-locking.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dbrown2:
DCD I am running 2.47 SPL on my verizon 6800. What do you want me to be the guinea pig on? I am not great at this stuff, but willing to help if I can.

God knows you have helped me a lot with your rom's.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
As DCD said, going back to PRI 1.35 was not necessary for me. I still have the NEW PRI 2.03_002 on my XV6800 and I can use GPS just as I did before.... Now here's what I did....

I went from DCD 3.12 --> NEW VZW upgrade. GPS didn't work so I flashed back to "stock-non-GPS rom) Then flashed the 2.47 No2chem SPL, then flashed radio 3.42.30 using SD card, and then finally DCD 3.15. No I didn't actually check then, but I did 3 days ago, and I have PRI 2.03_002 on my phone but GPS has been working just fine..... So take that for whats it's worth, but there have been a few others who have also had success using GPS even with the new GPS on the phone....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] aguas:
but your aGPS is still locked to VZNav i assume. any real benefit that you see of being on the new PRI?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] benlane:
WOW - GPS on the VZW 6800 that works!!!

This took about 2 hours to get done but right now it seems to be worth every minute.

I've tried all of the fixes, some kinda silly - felt like I was being told to sling a cat over my head in the front yard.

BUT THIS ONE GETS LOCKS AS FAST AS MY SPRINT TOUCH!!!!!

I am using 3.2.6 and the 3.42.4 radio after following the above (I have kept the new PRI).

I thought I was getting something wrong. Then I tried the GPS 5 miles apart, rebooted, tried again - same results 5 or 6 sat lock in less than 30 seconds.

I'll continue to monitor in the next couple of days and report any change. But darn - WOW!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] animez:
Finally flashed

Well I finally flashed to the DCD rom and radio today. I flashed radio 3.42.50 and DCD 3.2.6. I finally decided to flash for the GPS, but I guess that isn't gonna happen since I had previously flash the VZW MR1 update to a stock phone. I went through the titan gps fix and everything went as the wiki said it should. But I have no working gps. I assume this is because of the 2.03_002 PRI without ever having flashed before.

I've read quite a few gps threads and I think all my settings are ok, but I can't seem to get it working. Any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blancmik:
BENLANE, just to I understand... you upgraded to the new official VZW ROM, and then changed to DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.40? What bootloader are you using?

Are you sure this was not a placebo?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] benlane:
As sure as I can be

-----

I don't know how else to test but I've tried to make it fail - soft resets, moved around 5 miles etc. I tried it again a few minutes ago - almost instant using Live Search.

I follow all of the directions included in the post #8. Then I used DCDs 3.2.6 and the 3.42.4 radio.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] animez:
Regedit

Before I follow the instruction in post #8 and re-flash, are there any registy entries that I should check that could be disabling my gps right now?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] benlane:
Don't think registry edits do it

Like I said above, I've done virtually everything short of slinging a cat above my head in the front yard. I've tried 'em all. The registry edits, the 3 additional files, use of the GPS toggle, etc etc. It always lead me to believe that whatever was needed was on Verizon's end. With the PRIs, I believe we have it.

Based on past experiences, this may not work tomorrow but for today - COOL RUNNINGS.

So simple answer, I don't think a registry edit will get it. I believe it is a combination of the PRIs, the unlocker, the radio and most of all the terrific ROM from DCD. He's the real deal.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] animez:
I loaded the spl 2.47 and flashed the 3.42.40 radio, can I just reflash the dcd 3.2.6 (which I'm currenly using) or should I flash a differnet OS version?

Sorry for all the noob questions, I just really want the GPS working, and I'm lazy to boot.

I'm really starting to wonder if I'm gonna be able to get it working. I think my situation is different than most on this forum. I went from stock to the MR1 update, to the DCD rom and radio. I don't think I've read any posts where anyone took that path and got GPS working.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
I havent read all the posts in this thread but it sounds like you locked out GPS functionality when going from the MR1 update to a custom rom. When you upgraded with the MR1 update, you installed a new version of the PRI. It appears that this version locks out GPS functionality, even with a custom rom.

You might want to check out gc's thread from hell for more info on this and how to go about getting back the old PRI. Its time consuming but works. There are supposedly other methods but not many have had success with them.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] benlane:
You've misunderstood

I did all of the above intentional to have the new pri on my phone.

Update on locks - still getting them fast, but they have slowed to an occasional lock in about 2.5 minutes.
