Working in The Netherlands! Changed to Phone to India with above mentioned tutorial and now downloading coloros11, thanks!

And now that the phone region is India I finally have the dual wifi option available in the settings :-)
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] edsib1:
Using the above guide Android 11 working fine. But now the phone has some bloatware on it - the Oppo App Store - though you can hide Hotapps & Hotgames in the AppStore settings.

I thought changing the region back EuropeEx might get rid of it - but I get the error 'Connection problem or invalid mmi code', instead of the region screen appearing in the dialer.

Anyway around this?

The dual-wifi works fine - its connects to my 2_4ghz and 5Ghz bands simultaneously. Overall Im more than happy with the Android 11 upgrade and would recommend it.

Happy days!! This is the reason for getting the 4a 5g.

Is it already daily driver ready?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] shannoncole05:
I got it running and no issues with the ROM itself, I like it alot, but the whole playstore and getting aurora to work made me give up, I was not able to get my preferred playstore apps.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] radogost:
Solution: Uninstall Aurora and reinstall it from F-Droid.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] FooYoungHi:
Before I dive in, 2 questions:

- I'm still runnin the december update, do I need to update to the januari update before I can flash Calyx?

- Is there a way to backup my current install?

Edit: I bit the bullet anyways, first updating to the Januari update, painless process, btw. I decided that I didn't care about a backup.

First impressions: Very nice looking and I saw pretty quickly that within CalyxOS you can back stuff up outside of the bootloader.

Had the 'Aurora store' bug, fixed after reinstalling it.

Gonna love exploring the OS in the coming days.

I have one question about a launcher: I have the paid version of Nova Launcher, and I'm logged into Aurora anonymously, so I can't DL paid apps. Does anyone have an alternative to Nova Launcher? I absolutely love this app (the gestures etc. are a dream) so preferably a FOSS alternative with close to the same functionality would be awesome. I have been able to migrate to FOSS/free apps for all of my paid ones, but I still can't find anything better as a launcher.

Edit2: Might have been nice for them to put a warning before flashing that it will completely wipe your phone.. I made a few last minute backups on the internal storage before flashing. Everything is lost now. Luckily I back stuff up often, but I still lost stuff, so a warning from them might've been nice.

Edit3: I now can't log into my google account (for retrieving my whatsapp backup Fixed by using another phone and copying the local backup to my Pixel) because it can't connect to the server... know error apparently, but I can't find a fix for it.

Why oh, why, do I always decide to try this stuff on a sunday evening when I should go to bed...

Thanks, I'll give that one a shot.

I ran into something I didn't see for years on a smartphone: ADS!! Since root is impossible and not recommended, adaway won't work.. Any other solutions?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Kingkaktus:
for ADs try Blokada: https://blokada.org/

or the new Adaway, also with rootles mode VPN: https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] FooYoungHi:
Just got the februari update.. the most painless update I've ever had on a smartphone. Really digging CalyxOS.

About the adblockers; I already run a 'normal' VPN, so VPN based ablocking won't work, right?

Some other random questions:

Any suggestions for (preferably FOSS) keyboards? I currently use love swiftkey, but I refuse to sign up to download skins, can't seem to restore my backup, and I don't trust Microsoft. I can't seem to find a lot of open source ones.

I also have some shared calendars from google that I unfortunately need to use, but I don't want to sign in to google on my phone. Any tips to get this to work? I can import regular google calendars into my nextcloud, but not the shared ones.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] radogost:
About the adblockers with VPN - you can utilize "Secure DNS" option in Android. I highly recommend NextDNS or BlahDNS for no-logging, adblocking DNS service.

As for the keyboards, there are AnysoftKeyboard (has swipe), OpenBoard and FlorisBoard. I am using Anysoftkeyboard and I am pretty happy. I'm beta testing it, and new version should be out soon. Also, Calyx has a firewall feature that allows you to block internet access for any app you want. Just go to the Settings -> Apps and then Data Usage and you can block Swiftkey from there. Calyx Team is currently working on a better UI for firewall, should be out in the following months.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] FooYoungHi:
I'm liking Anysoftkeyboard so far. I only wish you could remove the smilie and voice buttons, that would make the spacebar a bit wider.

Will the scureDNS stuff work nicely with a VPN, since they use their own ones, AFAIK. I got it to work, just wondering if it doen't mess with the security of the VPN.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] radogost:
You can delete the smiley button. Look in "bottom" layouts, and pick minimal or classic :-)
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Angelcho:
I love using Anysoft Keyboard
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cHECKjAM:
I just tried calyxos first time it today myself for 8 hours today. It ha sbeen very nice so far, although most of that 8 hours went in to setting everything up.

Soemthing I hate is that the google camera apk from aurora store is super old.. Ibut that is not calyxos fault.. Probably not that the small arrow to lower the keyboard is ont he left side and doesnt seem to be adjustable either..?

Will have to look around for some safe place to download a more recent gcam or I guess use some port.. Too bad I heard the ports are always buggy and bad and since I got a true pixel for the first time ever I was looking forward to run it with the best possible camera software.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] ichino_o:
I am using GCam 7.3.018 by Urnyx05 since few weeks and it is all good... If I remember well, I got it here https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/

I don't know if the version 8 does the job on this device, I did not try but am interested to hear back if you try

Edit: check this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/gcam-camera-px-for-google-pixel-1-2-3-3a-4.3875663/post-84514901
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cHECKjAM:
I went ahead and installed the latest official Google camera software from apkmirror. I didnt want to go through the rabbithole of finding what port is the least broken, while also getting the latest and greatest update wise..

Altough now that I've used it for a few days im suspecting I don't have HDR. I cant find any options with HDR anywhere in the app, so maybe something wrong as I heard that if you run googles own gcam on custom roms (I guess calyxos as well?) You loose HDR?

Also its quite annoying that you have to use Google photos to o preview the pictures and I don't want to use that.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] ichino_o:
I can just say that downloading the version 8.1 linked in the thread I referred to in my previous post should make you happy... I just tried it and all seems to be working without any hassle. And it does not look like leading you to a rabbithole.

I guess that is why people are porting the app. I have working HDR (at least the option is here and can be switched, how to make sure that hdr is ok btw?) and I can check the photos with the alternative gallery apps, or at least with the default gallery. There is an option in GCam to allow using gallery other that Google Photo.

May I ask why Google photo is a problem? Looks like you can block all privacy-concerning behaviors...

Then, more generally, I am running CalyxOS with default microG settings on this device since two weeks and everything is just perfect. All is working perfectly and the battery consumtion is really good.

Great job! Perfect ROM for me on this device. 😎
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cHECKjAM:
Exciting! I just went ahead and downloaded the gcam mod you linked to, latest version.

I was already quite happy with the camera just moving from a xiaomi Mi 8 with lineage - using the f-droid open camera only.. Totally worthless experience imo..

At first glance there is definetly more options here including HDR. However the third party picture viewer is still not optional..

Honestly you are right I could use google photos and just remove internet access but I would rather not.. But if Im forced I guess I must.. Did you do anything special to get third party gallerys to work?

About the calyxos on pixel 4a 5g .. I absolutely LOOOOVE it man.. It is lightyears ahead of lineage experience that Ive had past 2 years. Love it!
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] ichino_o:
Right, the option to select gallery is missing in the 8.1 build.

It was there in the GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.2-fix build I was using before moving to the 8.1. I checked it when I was replying to your previous post.

I am just installing GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5 that you will find here. Everything looks ok (both HDR and Gallery selection). You can even have both v.7 and v.8 installed ;)
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cHECKjAM:
Thanks, but I really like the latest and greatest on this.. If I suspect that the camera quality will be better on the 8.x versions I will stick with that until third party gallery support comes.

The biggest reason I moved to pixel phones and calyxos was the camera quality..
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] ichino_o:
For me there is no obvious difference in the photo quality between the two versions

Does anyone else have a battery drain problem with Signal on this OS? I noticed my battery draining stupid fast, so I checked what caused it. Turned out that Signal was using 30%+ per full charge, barely making it a full day worth of battery life. And I didn't use the app at all. After I uninstalled it, I can easily last 2 days on a charge again.

Obviously this is not the best solution, since I do want to use the app on occasion. Anyone have an idea where I should look to fix this?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] cHECKjAM:
I heard others had this problem with the signal installed by default/from the calyxos f-droid repo.

Uninstall this version and install the apk directly from signal instead and it will solve.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] FooYoungHi:
I'll give that a try, I hope it helps.

Edit: It didn't.. didn't use it at all today, and just the background process used around 30%..

Hello I have just got this android 10 based head unit , and the screen isn't very bright can hardly see it during the day , my cheaper stereo that I've just took out was twice as bright as this .

There is a half sun symbol in the notification bar could this mean it's on half brightness ?

I've tried turning the brightness up in settings and auto off , but it still don't get any brighter and this symbol still stays on
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
My guess is that the mentioned icon has nothing to do with screen brightness, but with whether dark-mode is enabled or not.
[General Questions and Answers] malibu2007:
Yes I think your correct .

Must be that the stereo itself is not very bright , you would think a stereo costing 3x my last would be brighter .

Ребята, приветствую вас. У меня прошивка 8.2.10 (андроид 6). На нем сенсорный помощник не скрывается автоматически, как на android 7. Подскажите пожалуйста, как сделать, чтобы он автоматически скрывался после 3 секунд бездействия
[General Questions and Answers] Gobsheeite:
Ok so this is not for everyone. When looking a pictures on the web, they are allllllll temporarily downloaded to your phone, and if you copy a picture it copied the path/location of the picture on your phone e.g

content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/16116643512281849111672.png

When you use Windows to upload a photo, it opens a "file dialogue box" which allows you to either choose a photo from your computer, or insert a location/path which can also be a web address

When you use a mobile app to upload a photo it only prompts you to insert a photo from your phone. So you have to re-download a picture that is already in your phone so you can choose it to re-upload it. Sounds crazy and it is

I'm looking for an Android app that when prompted for a photo will open a dialogue box that will also allow you to insert a location/path including a web address. If there such a beast?

Hi

I am new with GTS2 (about 7 days).

What do you think about calories counter?

For example, yesterday I burned only 39Kcal because I don't start any sport.

But doing my activities like cooking, do the housework, shopping are also activities even it isn't sport!

And my body also burned some calories during the day without any activities.

What do you think about that? Is it the same on older version like GTS 1?

Thanks for your response.

Hope this is in the right place.

Have a note 20 ultra.

Flashed trwp with latest stock Android 11 rom patched with magisk.

Done this twice.

All works fine including safetynet fix 1.1.1 which allows google pay to work.

As soon as I turn on dual messenger, it installs the second app, then reboots the phone. Once booted back up everything still works including dual messenger, but anything requiring a pin doesn't.

Can use pin once, eg lock screen, and then anytime after that if entering pin it just crashes the phone back to lock screen. If trying to get into the security settings to say Add a fingerprint, as soon as you enter the pin it crashes again.

Hoping someone can help!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zorgin:
Hello.

I've been browsing through the forums for a while now and even been going through some themes to figure out how the diamond handles the backgrounds in other then the Today (or maybe its called home?) Anyhow what i fear is that it isnt possible to set your own backgrounds in the other windows such as whole background pictures other then small meshes which is then handled by the diamond to paint the background..?

Is this the way it works or are there a way to set your own costum, whole backgrounds not just some meshes which it handles itself, into themes or some other way?

yeah i was hoping to find an answer as well, the only thing i could come up with was the manilla editor and using that to manually change the backgrounds, but its very cumbersome to do...

hopefully some people can figure out an easier way to do this! it would be awesome.
