Hi!

One question, any one know if it's possible to reduce the black circle arround the punch hole front camera, and only black it out when you are using the front camera?? It will be great to have a smallest hole! I don't knw why those pixels must be blacked out all the time, if i'm not using the front camera...
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jnss98b:
What do you mean? The black circle around the hole punch is completely physical and the software cutout only kicks in when the front camera is in use (you can clearly see it when in an app with a non black status bar such as snapchat for example).
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] motes:
if you choice punch hole cut in developer options the circle arround te camera is not centred well, so it may be becose are blacked pixels no?
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] motes:
Finaly! They did it!

Pixel 5's hole punch can be hidden on Android 12

The feature was available at launch for the Pixel 3 XL

[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iRub1Out:
But what does that gain, exactly?

Not like there's pixels there to use in any way, so I must be missing the point?
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PuffDaddy_d:
I don't think that's correct. I can clearly see additional black padding being added to the cut out when the screen is turned on. Once off, you can see the physical size of the camera hole is a few pixels smaller in diameter.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] motes:
if you choice punch hole cutout in developer options you will see the black part arround the camara is not centred , so this pixels are usable if it can be moved no??
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mindyabiznis:
The actual physical camera hole is a lot smaller than your phone would have you believe, there's padding in the form of black pixels to make the hole seem bigger on screen.

This guy wants to remove the black padding so the camera cutout shown on screen looks even smaller than it is.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EbolaCola:
LMAO, this doesn't reduce the black area around the camera, it expands it to take up the entire status bar! 🤣
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasmina.be97:
Have you found any way to solve this? I had a note 10 lite and the black ring would only appear when the camera was in use but now I got a S21 FE and the same black ring stays there all the time. I find it kinda annoying...

[Android General] Practixal:
While installing TWRP on my Samsung tab, my tablet shut off and I got this error. So after tons of research, I want to help the people that come into this problem!

Case 1:

Can't boot into the device but can boot into download mode or recovery

Solution:

Simple, go into download and use Odin/ADB to flash stock ROM.

Case 2:

Can't boot into device, download mode, or recovery

Solution:

Download ADB, and run "ADB devices"

If it shows a device, you're in luck, use "ADB reboot bootloader" and use Odin/ADB to flash stock ROM.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] de-v8:
Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.

Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?

I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.

Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.

Am I being stupid?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Arlanthir:
I think you're mixing things up.

MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).

SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.

When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.

So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] defcomg:
?

Multimedia Messaging

Short Message Service

Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.

other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-) :-P 8-) :-D .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] de-v8:
I understand the differences.

What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send ";)" etc etc

Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.

Thanks for your input guys !!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your :D will be sent out as : D.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] de-v8:
But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does

Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joemanb:
I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .

Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...

You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badaas:
i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to ;)

smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with ;)

so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with ;)

phew!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joemanb:
Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volski_:
I research in security of android devices and their tamper-resistance. I've seen that in Pixel devices, you can locally unlock your bootloader by enabling OEM unlocking and then executing fastboot flashing unlock command to unlock the bootloader which means unlike other OEMs, Pixel doesn't rely on unlock code. I think OnePlus is another device which does the same.

When fastboot flashing unlock command is executed, bootloader must be storing its unlocked state somewhere to keep it persistent across boot. Wherever Pixel stores its unlock state, how that partition is protected from physical tampering using UFS flash chip programmer?

If UFS flash chip programmer can modify bootloader state by directly tampering with the partition that stores it, how Pixel is safe from physical theft and data compromise? A thief could be able to modify the state without the data getting erased. The data is erased only when you ask bootloader to set unlock state using fastboot. Once the thief modifies the state using the said programmer, he could be able to flash custom recovery to erase screen lock code.

This whole setup depends upon where blootloader state is stored and how it is protected against physical flash chip tampering.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
The location of tamper flag simply is a byte in a specific file which can be queried by means of Fastboot.

My guess is that this file is stored in Android's /misc and/or /param partition ,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volski_:
What prevents a thief to modify this tamper flag using UFS flash chip programmer in order to unlock the bootloader of a stolen device and then reuse the device as his own?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
Can not mentally comprehend what locking/unlocking an Android device's bootloader has to do with device's ownership. Sorry for this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volski_:
What I mean is that if an attacker is able to unlock bootloader, he can reuse the stolen device as his own. Under locked bootloader condition, factory reset protection prevents attacker to reuse the stolen device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volski_:
Google's AVB 2.0 documentation describes that hashtree is stored with the partitions and their root hash is stored in vbmeta.

However, Android's documentation on implementing dm-verity describes that dm-verity table is constructed over hashtree and it is then stored with the partition together with its signature.

Another blog describes android verified 2.0 verifies dm-verity table.

Is hashtree stored with the partititon or is dm-verity table constructed over hashtree which is then stored with the partition?

[General Topics] zubair1836:
Let's Get Started by saying: I'm not resoponsible for brick, loss or any damage to your phone. So backup!

Pre Requirements:

a. A Windows PC with internet connection.

b. Odin Patched Here

c. HOME CSC file of Indian / Thailand / Vietnam Region. You can get firmware of your phone from samfw.com or any other website.

Make sure that the bootloader version on your phone and the one you download are same. For example, A515FXXU4CTJ1 has bootloader version 4 (that's fifth digit from the right). So you have to download a firmware which has same bootloader version.

P.S. We don't need full firmware, Only the file name beginning by "HOME_CSC" is needed.

Working:

1. Eject the SIM Card(s)

2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Calendar -> Storage -> Clear Data.

3. Put your phone into download mode.

4. Run the Odin....exe (downloaded in step b) as administrator

5. Click CSC and select the HOME_CSC file obtained from step c in Pre-Req.

6. Click "Start".

7. When phone reboots, Repeat step 2.

All done. You can insert SIM Card(s) and use Call Recording.

Notes:

You'll be on different region's CSC after this.

Phone will not factory reset and you won't lose any data after this (although it is not guaranteed).

You might not be able to get system updates after this. In order to get them you'd have to flash your region's CSC, then update, then flash custom CSC again.

Tested working on:

Samsung A51 (Android 10)

Samsung A50 (Android 10)

Samsung M21 (Android 11)

It's G991U1, with 1ATLI so I downloaded 1AUB8 (THL) to try to flash the HOME_CSC, I'm 100% sure I tried with the odin you linked (also your one has same CRC SHA-1 as the the one linked in the XDA thread). Maybe I need to try with the updated patcheD odin (v3.14.1_3B) I didn't do that yet.
[General Topics] zubair1836:
I believe everything's right then. Can't identify the issue though.

I had kept this thread in my bookmarks since I was buying the A52 4G on Amazon.ca and absolutely wanted Call Recordings (officially we shouldn't be able to get the A52 4G in Canada, only the 5G version is officially here, so it's an import).

But as luck would have it, it's the SM-A525M and already has Call Recording enabled in it. So that saves me some trouble. But thanks for this guide! I may not have needed it in the end, but would've totally relied on it otherwise.

If I'm understanding this right, my firmware is A525MUBS1AUD1. Brazil's ? It's Android so it has every languages built-in regardless and there's no carrier specific apps in it either, so that's great.

I found the update to be stable and not have any of the bugs that folks talked about online. No blurry images with the camera, no weird battery drain, wifi issues, etc... I did however notice that the visible screen does not extend to the top and bottom of the glass. There is an 1/8 of an inch black border of wasted space. Also widgets now have a margin around them and they do not go full width of screen. I did have one app that stopped working, Kin Screen. Otherwise, it's working.

Beyond that, the phone now looks too much like an iphone. i have the swipe bar instead of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen, the iphone volume control and even notifications and the lock screen scream iphone. I do not like like this and want to go back to android 10. I have taken a look online and am finding instructions regarding downgrading from android 11 beta, but this is not beta, it's an official update that Samsung pulled.

Is there a way to downgrade without deleting my data and apps?
