[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Saluzzo97:
Hi everyone, I've just bought my oneplus 7 pro gm1913 today and I want to ask you some advices about modding this phone... First of all I want to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP and after that:

I want to install gcam, which version do you think it's better?

I'm on Oxygen OS 10.0.10.GM21BA, you advise me to change to a custom ROM or to stay on oxygen? Custom rom for guacamole works on my gm1913 version?

Is it recommended to flash another custom kernel or to stay with stock? Which kernel is better in your opinion?

Sorry for my english and for all these questions, I'm a newbie and I want to learn from you with more experience than me.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] nabril15:
welcome to your awesome phone.

1. The stock rom is quite powerful and attractive, and a lot of us on here like it. If you root the phone, then you can freeze/uninstall some of the stock stuff that you may not like or need.

2. The Smurf kernel is absolutely silky smooth on the phone, and it lets you enjoy the awesome battery life. Other kernels are good too, and you may just have to try them out; that's the response you will always get when you ask for an opinion.

to root your phone and get twrp, there is an amazing guide in one of the pinned guide posts by arden144 or GoodSoul.

Here: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-android-9-10-7-7pro-unlock-twrp-root-and-update.3940368/#poststop

that's your starting point. You might want to take over the air (OTA) updates first before doing the root. Your phone's latest firmware version is 10.3.8 from a week ago.

Good luck, read, search, and then ask.

Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my late answer, have a nice day!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] anphex:
Congrats to your new phone! Here are some thoughts from a two-year-user that are nowhere to be taken as axiom.

I tried Gcam a few times. I reemember it being a lot of fiddling to get the aux cameras working via Magisk module or flashable zip in twrp. Even then the results of gcam were worse than the stock camera. I made this journey three times and back and OOS camera always won no matter the config I used in gcam.

As for the OS itself, OxygenOS is comfortably close to AOSP and the tweaks made by oneplus feel really nice. It's close to the pixel experience. I would say stay on OOS and wait and see if there is something feature missing you absolutely need. When you want to switch to a custom rom, just check the corresponding thread here in XDA and choose the one you like the most. Mosts of them are still actively supported. One thing you should know is that TWRP backups/restores can break easily if not all stars are aligned perfectly, so be careful to trust those unconditionally.

Hi,

It's happened to me twice in the first week already.

TouchFlo 3D 1.2.34591.1_1813.6

Crashed once on startup, and distored the whole screen. Have to do a soft reset.

It crashed again just then, on wake up there is an error about Manila (I believe that's the TouchFlo program name), then it distorted the whole screen again.

Has anyone had this problem?

Could this be a hardware problem?

Cheers

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sinist3r:
i have the same problem! :mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Luycks:
I have the same problem too, although it happened to me only once. It had been charging all night and when I turned it on (still on the charger) the screen was distorted. The white leds around the dial were permanently lit.

I didn't get an error message. No button worked, including the standby button. I had to remove the battery to shut the device down. Anyone else with this problem?

hello...more of the system apps i not use ..how i can remove it? i think that get more ram and battery for long time
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Savvakos69:
Install app debloater on pc,enable usb debugging on phone, connect,and start removing.Just becarefull what you remove
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] adfree:
With Root you can fully remove... at own risk...

On Stock Firmware it is possible to deactivate few... with Tool SDB...

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] absentsound:
is this method done with galaxy watch? i means watch system apps .. i want remove defaults faces , samsung health, samsung pay and all of sport sensor and apps.because i use watch for time only.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mr Bigglesworth:
My understanding (which is mainly based on this forum and in particular adfree's posts) is that you need to be rooted, which mainly means is that you have to have a "combination" firmware installed on your watch. You need to carefully find the right one and there have been some sucesses, but if it messes up then you need to be prepared to open up your watch and get some other hardware to revive the watch.

I think some have removed e.g. bixby, but I don't know if anyone has removed samsung health.

Which watch do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] absentsound:
I will try but it seems that rooting the watch is more difficult than the phone. I think when I remove the sports apps and Bixby, all the sensors will be switched off only time watch , thus extending the battery life.

My watch is Samsung watch 46mm.

is there smart watch come whith time option only whithout sport sensor and apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sekret1:
You can deactivate any app without root. It will stay installed, so it will still require space, but not in RAM, but it won't appear anymore, so it looks like it's uninstalled.

adb shell pm list packages

This lists all your packages with the full name, which you'll need for the deactivation part.

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 package.name

Done. You won't ever see the uninstalled packages anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] adfree:
Really good.

Thanx for sharing sekret1

I am playing since monthS... yearS meanwhile with:

pkgcmd -l

pkgcmd --help

Best Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mr Bigglesworth:
Thanks sekret1, this is really good to know. Does this work even with system apps like S Health and Bixby. I did previously try uninstalling a system app but I must have not been using the correct command.

Also, can you reinstall the app (presumable adb shell pm install --user 0 package.name)?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sekret1:
I just tried it, no, doesn't work. Here's my output for the default gallery app, which I really don't like and which cannot be deactivated. Typical use case for this approach.

# pm install --user 0 com.android.gallery3ddroid.gallery3d

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mr Bigglesworth:
Thanks, so, to be clear, uninstall works on any app. But the install command won't work for system apps (and anything else you can download from the samsung store etc)?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mr Bigglesworth:
One more question, I'm rereading this and now even more confused. You are using adb and android apps, I thought you needed to use sdb for the samsung galaxy watch. Are you talking the same watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sekret1:
I'm sorry, I don't own such a watch, I was assuming that it behaves the same my smartphone behaves. I could have been wrong and after reading your comment I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

So yes, my guide works for smartphones, probably not for watches.

Again, sorry for the confusion!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mr Bigglesworth:
Thanks for clearing this up. I'm guessing your smartphone is android. The samsung galaxy watch is on Tizen; so it takes different commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sekret1:
Oh crap, I had absolutely no idea! Sorry!!! My intentions were good, I promise!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] absentsound:
Thank you for trying .. We hope that we can find a way to delete default apps from the Samsung Watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] adfree:
sdb root on

sdb shell mount -vo remount,rw /

sdb shell rm /usr/share/packages/com.samsung.shealth_gear.xml

sdb shell rm -r /usr/apps/com.samsung.shealth_gear

sdb shell /usr/bin/sqlite3 /opt/dbspace/.pkgmgr_parser.db "update package_info set package_removable='true' where package='com.samsung.shealth_gear'"

sdb shell pkgcmd -u -t tpk -n com.samsung.shealth_gear --global

This is how I remove Samsung Health complete.

From SQlite database + from readonly rootfs.img

Root required.

Only as example...

Best Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] absentsound:
I did not understand the method .. I did not try to install the root on the watch before .. I hope that there is a method in the video
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mr Bigglesworth:
Great thanks for this adfree. Do you know if you can reinstall it easily, does the package stay on the watch or do you have to reinstall the firmware.

Also, does step count etc work on watch faces with Samsung health disabled?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansiohne:
Hi,

a friend's Nexus 5 doesn't start anymore. He has some very important texts on the device and he doesn't have a backup. So the idea came to my mind that it might me possible to desolder the memory chip and either read it out with a special device or re-solder it into another Nexus 5. So my questions are:

1. Is it possible to remove the memory chip without destroying it? I won't make it by myself but would try to look for someone who has experiences with this.

2. If possible: Will I be able to read the data on the memory chip without having the hardware environment of the device since I think the data is encrypted.

3. Or, it 2 is not possible: Any chance to solder the chip into another, working Nexus 5?

4. How is the chance that the chip itself causes the overall problem so we don't have a chance at all with it?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
emmc memory chip is extremely fragile, it's technically possible to get it off your friend's n5 and put it into another one but unless you have the (expensive) equipment for it, you won't be able to do so.

it would be easier to figure out why it does not start:

does the usb charging port work? i.e.: does the led/screen light up when charging? (if not, try the wireless charging pad)

does the phone not show up in device manager on windows or in dmesg in linux? (it may be in a special mode in case of hardware fault)?

and so on

Hi, all.

I was finally able to get fastboot unlock on my XZ1 Compact. Took forever to get the right drivers installed and for the device to recognize. Now I can't get it to show up when I plug in for Flashtool (fka EMMA). Any advice on exactly which driver I should be using to get EMMA to recognize the device? I just need to reflash the original XZ1c firmware and I cannot get this to recognize the device at all.

I've never used Emma but I've never had to either. Newflasher is very easy and works every time.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Tweedledope:
The problem is that I can't get the phone to connect to my PC in Flash Mode. I've checked my drivers and it connects as 'Sony sa0117 ADB interface driver.' That works for Fastboot mode but not flash mode. So I can't flash any software to it either using Newflasher (which gives me an error message every time) or EMMA. I have no idea why my phone won't go into Fastboot mode. When I hold power down and plug it in it never gets the blue light only a green charging indicator.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
Holding volume down while plugging in USB is the proper step. If you're using Newflasher, you want the the LED to be a solid green, not blue. Holding volume up while plugging in will give you the blue light but that's not how you use Newflasher.

Just to clarify: volume up + usb cable = Blue LED(Fastboot mode)

volume down + usb cable = Green LED(Flash mode)

Make sure you have the firmware files extracted to the same folder you have Newflasher in but delete .ta files(except the one in the boot folder). Run newflasher.exe, not fastboot. It'll ask you two questions. The first is for the gordon gate drivers which might solve your problem. The second is to dump the trim area which you don't need to do.

I had an issue with drivers but it was almost 2 years ago so I don't remember which one fixed which issue but I used the sony one you mentioned and this one:

There're no delay when i return to home screen from any app in stock launcher but other launcher gives a solid 1-1.5s delay.

If you conn. to ASync via BT(integrated or USB dongle) you don't need the USB cable(all time you want to be on the internet via PC,you must do that thru ASync,with cable,bt or IrDA, in this scenario) !

Every type of conn., give you capability to go on internet thru the ASync!

Delete Google account and recreate it if the above doesn't work.

Alternatively you could download the apps you want on another phone and use ApkExport to copy and transfer them to the affected phone.

I store copies of all my apps like this so I don't need to use Playstore if I do a factory reset.

It saves time and confusion plus preserves apps that Playstore has altered or purged.
