Dynamic partitions | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Basically, dynamic partitioning allows oem to resize partitions as needed without messing up the system, but the downside is that twrp and non-dynamic apps see only one super partition, which contains other partitions inside. Newer twrp builds (3.5.0+ ) have support for dynamic partitions but it's still under development and there's much stuff to consider. Basically, if you make system partition rw and put a file inside, you change it's properties (and size), but in super partition system partition stays the same size and format, so basically you overwrite something, and things get out of hand ;)

That's why only recommended way to change anything in system and other partitions is to make magisk script to do it, because magisk knows how to approach system and other partitions in a way that it won't kill everything...
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] Aldenar:
Aaah. Yes, thank you for the explanation. It sounds kinda like LVM in Linux - One "Super" partition like a Volume Group with individual partitions like Logical Volumes, able to be dynamically resized, while leaving any of the free space to use for the other partitions.

Ah well, at least I managed to disable some of the apps. Turns out the Xiaomi ADB Tools only really called "pm uninstall --user 0 *package.name*", so nothing special.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] calinorg:
Yes, something like LVM, but it keeps partitions in read-only state, to prevent users from modification. If you change even 1 byte, partition is flagged dirty and not even e2fsck couldn't fix it... basically, until we get proper tools with proper support, messing the partition layout in android is a big no-no...

Yes, XAT is just a frontend for pm uninstall, but it's easier than typing commands, and also it keeps a nice list of uninstalled apps, so you can re-enable them with one click...
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] paul999:
cant disable using titanium backup either
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] Aldenar:
As far as I can see, disabling a system app is still possible. Just not uninstalling as that would require a writeable /system partition which currently, as pointed out above, isn't really possible. I even tried the Titanium Backup's exploit method, but didn't work either. App's still installed, albeit disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] MikeThor:
I just bought a Samsung G3 which was a store demo, the phone boots and works OK, but I'm fearing I might not be getting the full potential the phone has to offer and I also hate seeing "Retail Mode " in the menu. I was wondering if I could flash the unit from SM-R840X to the latest firmware for R840, this unit is not LTE, just BT

Thanks in advance

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] adfree:
No risk no fun...

Try first Combination Firmware from SM-R840...

Then in second step Stock Firmware from SM-R840...

If out of luck...

You need USB cable... if your project fail...

Good Luck.

Best Regards

Are you referring these files?

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] connessioni:
I've flashed all the files, my 840 BT was XAR now is ITV. No update from BTG6 despite all around the world they are 2 or 3 different updates after that. Anyone with the R840XXU1BTK1 or more? I don't want to pay easyfirmware cause I have the hardware, I have the firmware, I assume is ridiculous to pay for an update Samsung should delivery to all of us.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] doogie:
I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.

At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.

I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.

Any help appreciated :D

Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want :) not the best solution but it still is a solution ;)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anon_404:
What would you say is the best way to have root on a V20 with LineageOS ?

On one hand, there is SuperSU, which is just a matter of flashing a zip, and is the way everyone used to do it. On the official Lineage site, they have SuperSU for download (in the Extras section), which suggests it's the recommended way. However, the the zip is named "addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip", and the version date is 2019-07-09 - This suggests it might be incompatible with Lineage 17.1 (anyone tried it?). Another issue, I recently heard SuperSU is closed-sourced and was even sold to some company not long ago. That's a big red flag. I never imagined that was the case when I was rooting phones.

On the other hand, I see Magisk becoming prominent, but it gives me some worries. First it's labelled as "systemless root", that hides the fact that the phone is rooted in some weird way. Personally, I don't need any of those shenanigans, I'm fully degoogled. Second, it seams you install it by patching the boot partition? Sounds like a bad idea...

Third, the latest version (v 22.0) seams to have made big changes. I was reading the updated official install guide and idk if the "Custom Recovery" method will do the same as patching boot or not. See here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

What is your take on this? How did you root your V20 and why? Do you know of other alternatives?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] pavik62:

И Magisk, и приложение, и программа удаления теперь представляют собой один файл (три в одном).

Если вам нужно прошить Magisk в TWRP, поменяйте расширение с *. apk в * .zip и прошиваем.

Если нужно удалить Magick через деинсталлятор из TWRP, переименуйте файл в «uninstall.zip» и прошейте.

After I wrote the post, I got Magisk 22.0 working by just flashing a zip in TWRP.

[Magisk] QVA:
After last update to v22, my camera stop working. Magisk is just partylu installed iI think. App is installed, but when I try install using recovery option, after reboot there is no change in App. Safety net test return fail. Help me with this camera, I really need it.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
Camera detect if safetynet is failed? That's new
[Magisk] QVA:
Both issues arose after the Magisk update.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
Your phone is Google pixel or nexus?
[Magisk] QVA:
NO, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3.
[Magisk] QVA:
Any ideas? Where is developer?
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
by stop working does camera app shows stop working error or just complete black when open?
[Magisk] QVA:
It was showing "unable to connect to the camera" when I launched the camera app. After rebooting the phone, it got into a bootloop and TWRP is asking me for the password to decrypt my files.

Now phone is dead thanks to the "new Magisk v22".
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
how many battery percentage you have when opening the camera app??
[Magisk] QVA:
Almost full battery. The new Magisk seems to be corrupting permission on the system partition.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
have you tried "clear data" on camera app?
[Magisk] QVA:
Yes, I tried when the phone worked and it didn't help. After rebooting, the phone only boots to TWRP and asks me for the decryption password.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
have you given the camera app the camera permission?
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
View attachment 5252495
[Magisk] QVA:
Yes. It seems the problem is not with the camera, but with Magisk.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
Awhqt do you mean by "After rebooting, the phone only boots to TWRP "?
[Magisk] QVA:
Yes, it now only boots in TWRP and asks for the decryption password. Magisk installation corrupted system files.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
then your problem is not camera but bootloop?
[Magisk] QVA:
1. I updated Magisk to v22.

2. Problem with SafetyNet has appeared

3. The camera has stopped working

4. After rebooting, the phone goes into bootloop and only boots in TWRP asking for some password.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
ohh I understand you keep saying camera so I thought camera is just broken but your on bootloop how did you install magisk via magisk_patched.img??
[Magisk] QVA:
Via Magisk apk buit in updater.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Magisk doesn't touch any system files, that's kind of the point of Magisk. If anything has gotten corrupted it's the boot image, but that's usually easy to fix by installing a stock boot image and starting over.

There has been some issues with v22.0 breaking boot images, but most of the time the above mentioned fix takes care of that.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
do you have stock rom or stock image like boot.img and recovery.img?
[Magisk] QVA:
Will I lose my data by repairing the boot partition?
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
No
[Magisk] QVA:
Ok. Then I'll try to find the stock boot img and flash it somehow.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
it depend on "how you install magisk" that's why I'm asking you some phone use stock boot.img or recovery.img and other flex what we called A/B partition

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Some tips here:

https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magis...ootrecovery_image_for_the_Magisk_app_to_patch
[Magisk] QVA:
So the plan is to download the iso image, extract boot.img from the archive and flash via fastboot?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That should work, but also note this part of the text I linked:
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
that should work just grab the magisk backup and flash it but I guess he doesn't know TWRP decryption password
[Magisk] QVA:
Only now my phone's storage looks like this:
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
Like what I expected lmao
[Magisk] QVA:
So the decryption of files on the device takes place outside the boot.img partition?
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
just stick to your first plan download the iso extract it and grab boot.img then flash at this point you have nothing to lose
[Magisk] QVA:
I have flashed boot.img from my current system and nothing has changed.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
stock boot?
[Magisk] QVA:
I downloaded the system image I currently have and take boot.img from it

Reinstalling system without wipe also doesn't help:

[General Questions and Answers] Azkarar:
I have a rooted device, with enought power to run my server, it would be nice if possible.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK the docker engine is not currently supported on any version of Android.

BTW: Android apps are already isolated. Each app you install creates a new user and that user has only permissions within the folder the app was installed and permissions you explicitly give it.
[General Questions and Answers] mtdshare:
Yes, running docker is absolutely possible on Android, doing the same on my device. The only thing you need is a custom kernel with all required docker features activated - so be prepared to compile a kernel. In addition, Termux offers a docker installation package which can be simply fetched and run (dockerd) afterwards.

Here you go with a step by step guide (not written by me): https://gist.github.com/FreddieOliveira/efe850df7ff3951cb62d74bd770dce27

These are the features which were sufficient for me:

CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_CPUSETS=y
CONFIG_MEMCG=y
CONFIG_KEYS=y
CONFIG_VETH=y
CONFIG_BRIDGE=y
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_ADDRTYPE=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNTRACK=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_IPVS=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MARK=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=y
CONFIG_NF_NAT=y
CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV4=y
CONFIG_NF_NAT_NEEDED=y
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS=y

Furthermore you need to apply a small and easy patch to "net/netfilter/xt_qtaguid.c", otherwise the kernel will panic now and then. But its really easy to apply, take a look at the guide. Modification of Makefile "kernel/Makefile" is not necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] savvyyy:
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind me asking..

1- Would this basically let me use linux images from linuxserver.io to run servers on my phone ?

2- Do I really need to compile a kernel or can I just flash any kernel that is available for my device ?
[General Questions and Answers] mtdshare:
1. Only if these are available in the right processor architecture. Most of the CPUs used in mobile devices are arm/arm64.

2. You will need to compile one with the mentioned options and patches yourself, since most of the available kernels don't include this functionality.
[General Questions and Answers] savvyyy:
Thanks for taking the time.

1- checks out, there seems to be both arm and arm64 compatible dockers.

2- What if the docker is to be used inside a chroot linux distro on android ? Would the android kernel still have to be patched ?

Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] savvyyy:
2 - Following logic, I guess it can't because chroot is using android kernel to run the linux distro, therefore the kernel will still be limited as it is outside the chroot environment.
[General Questions and Answers] savvyyy:
Basically all features flagged as missing when I ran the check-config file need adding to the defconfig file right ? It's not quite clear on the guide (maybe because it's common sense though I lack some so I better ask lol)

Also, it seems he is talking about a program that just lets you tick the features you want where as I am opening the file with a text editor really because I don't know better. This file defconfig only shows what's enabled.

I think I did download everything I need to compile the kernel, but not sure of it all yet (arch linux).
[General Questions and Answers] mtdshare:
For building the kernel you will need an arm toolchain.

The UI for ticking your kernel options is called menuconfig.

What I'm mostly doing is first copying an existing device kernel config to the project root folder:

cp arch/arm64/configs/codename_defconfig to .config

Afterwards you can run the menuconfig. I used the following command (probably not all of the params are required):

make -s -j$(nproc --all) ARCH=arm64 CC=clang CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32=arm-linux-androideabi- menuconfig

Copy modified config file back to configs folder:

mv new.config --> arch/arm64/configs/new_defconfig

Clean output folders and build kernel configuration file:

make clean
make mrproper
rm -R out
mkdir out

make ARCH=arm64 SUBARCH=arm64 O=out new_defconfig

Afterwards you can try to actually build your kernel.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] TGabriele:
Hello all. This is my first time posting a new thread although I've been lurking around here for a while soaking up all the information from this wonderful site. That said, I have been researching my problem for days now both here and on google and have found no solutions that work. So I'll see if there's anyone here who can help. Here goes....

I have recently flashed DCD's 3.2.6 ROM on my Verizon XV6800 and it works great (love the aGPS too, Thanks GC14) in every area but my car. I have a 2004 Audi A4 with the RNS-E Nav system with integrated bluetooth. Before I flashed to DCD, I had the original stock ROM (2.09.605.8 with Radio 1.30.00) which gave me full functionality with Jetware Mobile (Phonebook and Recent, Received & Missed Calls all transferred). Now, with DCD, it'll only connect to the car and won't transfer anything. If I try to load Jetware, it'll just lock up my phone while I'm connected to the car. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] TGabriele:
No one else has this problem or a fix for it? :(
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nitro66215:
I wish I was rich enough to afford such a car, then I could maybe help you out. LOL

But I would gladly accept such a car as payment for figuring out your problem. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 General] TGabriele:
Nevermind that the car is an Audi. Does anyone else have this problem with a factory BT system that transfers the phonebook to their car.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lewdog:
I had this same issue on my X3 and it seemed to be the way the PPC wanted to transfer the phonebook was by using some file transfer protocol the car did not understand. I could sync it and make and receive calls but no phonebook. Took it to the sprint store and we tried a blackberry and a standard moto handset. The blackberry did not sync the phonebook either but the standard moto phone did. I don’t think it’s possible based on the profiles in the car so I gave up on the phonebook. Try changing the bluetooth stack in the rom, you will have have to make your own rom and beware of the stack you use to make sure it is one for your phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] TGabriele:
I flashed DCD's rom using the kitchen, so making a custom rom from there is no problem to me. What I'm not sure of is how to change the bluetooth stack. I thought it is part of the hard coding for the OS? If you or someone else reading this thread has any information on this or can point me to some info on this it would be greatly appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ebb:
I have the 6800 with DCD 3.2.6, and an Audi, with full phonebook transfer so I'll try to help you out:

1. Which 6800 radio are you using? I have found 3.42.50 to be the best as far as Audi bluetooth compatibility is concerned.

2. Jetware will not work with WM 6.1 on the 6800, but you don't need it, since 6.1 included phonebook transfer enhancements.

3. What version of Audi software are you at? There have been several releases since your year. You should be able to get more info from www.navplus.us and of course from your stealer. :)

4. You do have your bluetooth settings set for "discoverable", right? And, (I don't know why this is the case) it seems when OBEX is on, the phonebook and other items transfer quicker.

If you have the 6800 radio and Audi software updated, you should have no problem. Jetware is no longer necessary.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] TGabriele:
1. I am using radio ROM 3.42.50

2. The reason I loaded Jetware is to have it sort my contacts by Last,

First. Is there another way to do this?

3. I am running sw0200 on my RNS-E, but was considering moving up to

sw0260.

4. I haven't tried this, but I will.

Lately I've also had the issue where if the phone is connected to the car for a while, the bluetooth on the phone will shut itself off and not turn back on until I do it manually. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just hard reset and start from scratch. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ebb:
I'm sure there's a reg tweak for listing First name first in contacts. Hunt around here or at ppcgeeks. If you want to stay on 6.1 jetware will not work (unless they release a new version).

Definitely update the Audi software to the newest version.

DCD has done nicely fixing power settings in the last few ROMS to solve the bluetooth shutting off issue, although when memory gets very low, it may still happen. You must have some other program or process running that sucks up memory if you are still experiencing this.

It never hurts to hard reset, as long as you have the time.
