After further research it turns out magski's patching is rather sophisticated. Throw an odin tar or raw image at it and it just gets and does the job right.

If like me you didn't want to leave the recovery with a dangerously crippled stock "recovery" it is possible to patch a raw img of twrp, which you can then dd (but please don't guess and DO go by the by-name path !)

I honestly don't know if patching twrp and using it with odin right from the get go is possible I had a nightmare getting windows/drivers/odin talking so I was relieved just getting the patched stock firmware to flash....

Its also a relief to be finally rooted, debloated, degoogled with a proper recovery, of course if samsungs UX wasn't so horrible I might not have bothered (providing all bloat could actually be disabled)... still at least it feels like I own what I bought now....

@ineedroot69 never managed to get twrp to flash on its own with odin, with unlocked bootloader saying it would only install official software... A70 seems to have a few extra layers of security...

Hi,

T95Q TV box keeps rebooting so I am trying to install poison rom to solve this.

The problem is that the usb burning tool v3.1.0 does not detect the box. Since the AV button of the box is broken, I am trying to reboot to recovery mode with Quick Reboot app (I do not know if this is the same with the recovery button).

The procedure I follow is to connect tv box to PC (Windows 10 in test mode) via usb and reboot to recovery mode with Quick Reboot app. TV box is not detected.

Any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
ok so you have a few options, your 1st is to try shorting the contackt where the button was (baisically instead of button you just bridge the gap) ot if you dont have any pads left (maybe broke off with button) then your other option is mask rom mode (by shorting 2 pins usally on your nand/emmc chip while connecting USB)

Hi

My pocket pc keeps answering calls in my pocket due to the sensitivity of the touchscreen (windows answer button gets pressed by mistake). I have searched alot but haven't found any key lock software that keeps windows locked even when the phone rings. I have tried S2U2 but that software messes up my phone in general.

So what I'm looking for is basically a software that locks the phone's touchscreen and keeps it locked even when the phone is ringing and lets me answere the incoming call with the hardware buttons only or something similar.

So, you guys know of any solution for my problem?

[Realme X3 SuperZoom Questions & Answers] Medard22:
Hey guys, I am using Accubattery to monitor my battery performance and I noticed that after the last software update the battery performance dropped significantly. On the previous version, my stats were roughly 9%/h screen on and 1,5%/h screen off. After the update, the screen on discharge jumped to 22,9%/h. I used to charge my phone once in 3 days, now I have to charge it every day. Also, I noticed that the phone was significantly warm while reading an ebook and drained the battery really fast.

Something is really off. Any idea how to report back to Realme?
[Realme X3 SuperZoom Questions & Answers] Medard22:
Seriously, no one has a similar issue? I tried pretty much everything except for a full factory reset. I tried to turn off GPS, LTE, Wifi, and Bluetooth with negligible improvement in battery consumption. I froze and force shutdown Zepp app and Notify for Amazfit ( I bought a new Amazfit watch recently) - with no visible improvement. What helped - at least a little bit was Battery->Performance mode->No performance improvement. Smart performance mode causes huge battery drain and the phone gets significantly hot during normal usage - web browser, ebook. etc.

I checked if there is a misbehaving app - nope there is not. Checked for malware, just in case - no problem there either.

My theory is they somehow tweaked governor in an update and screwed up.

I get some weird data from AIDA and CPU monitor. It seems that the triple-core cluster is running at full-speed 2,42 GHz all the time. That would explain the battery drain.
[Realme X3 SuperZoom Questions & Answers] Medard22:
Check this screenshot.
[Realme X3 SuperZoom Questions & Answers] Medard22:
The latest update to Android 11 and Realme UI 2.0 seems to fix the high battery consumption, also the tri-core cluster frequencies are finally adjusted normally.

I just hope they didn´t introduce more bugs with the latest release :D

[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] kr428:
Folks;

being on an M51 using stock ROM, OpenCamera and stock Samsung camera, I am a bit lost figuring out how to use the cameras well. Two pecularities come to attention:

Samsung camera apparently has a way to set a 16:9 12MP image mode (4624x2604) whereas in OpenCamera the maximum 16:9 resolution is 3840x2160 (8.2 MP).

In OpenCamera, the 8.2 MP images (set to maximum JPG quality) have a size of apprx 2MB each, which seems reasonable. However, using Samsung stock camera set to 4624x2604, image files are close to 7.5MB which seems extremely huge for a JPG compressed image file even at best quality.

Does anyone have insights or ideas what the Samsung app does here what OpenCamera isn't capable of doing?

Thanks in advance and all the best,

Kristian
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] venisonsteak:
Samsung camera probably uses full resolution images and crops the view, maybe to align images? Open camera uses 90% jpeg quality by default, which has minimal impact in image quality but still produce more artifacts. You can set it to 100% in photo settings.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] kr428:
Makes sense, thanks. I'll play around a bit with the cameras and different resolutions and compare results. Mostly I'm a bit confused, too, because my previous device used to have bigger (file size) images while shooting with the same resolution, and I wonder whether "more bits" means "better quality" at this point (or just "more noise"). Already did set OpenCamera to 100%, just to be sure. Unfortunately, a bunch of modes (like the 64MP mode or that 16:9 12MP mode) aren't even available in OpenCamera. The tool still needs getting used to. :)

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Jellyfeesh:
I'm just curious if the LG dual screen can work with the G8 thinQ and why its only marketed to the g8x. All the hardware specs seem to favor the G8 thinq (except battery size and camera FoV) so the exclusivity must lie in the software version, correct? If its not possible to upgrade to the g8x firmware, is it possible to retrofit the dual screen feature to make it compatible?
[General Questions and Answers] Masterkong:
Hi. i have an issue with my tablet and samsung support wants me to do a factory reset.

My question is then if i flash a firmware from samfrew.com will that remove as much data as a factory reset? or is the data stored in another partition or something similar to that?
[General Questions and Answers] :
A Factory Reset - as it name implies - only restores Android phone to the state it was brought into the market, it does NOT alter phone's Android as flashing a firmware does.
[General Questions and Answers] Masterkong:
ok? so are you saying that doing the factory reset will rollback all the software updates samsung has rolled out?
[General Questions and Answers] willcor:
No, but factory reset, will wipe your internal drive completely. If you have a sd card store all your photos/music etc on sd card.

Only real time, you want to flash stock firmware

etc, is if you eg... want to upgrade your firmware to newer versions, or come back from root.etc.. etc.

Chances are... if you don't know what you doing... you can soft brick your device etc.!

Factory reset, seems like the better options.?

Even though once or twice (in the past) , a factory reset, did not help, where flashing correct, Official firmware version, actually help solved my issue.

So it's your choice.!

Good luck.

[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
What's the issue?

Try clearing the system cache; it never hurts, it's easy and can cure erratic behavior.

Old loads will probably benefit with a clean load but for minor issues it's a shotgun overkill approach to troubleshooting.

Techs like because it works and makes things real easy... for them, not you!

Worse the issue can easily reoccur if it was caused by an app, setting, etc. Normally it's best to find the root cause rather than do a factory reset.

Exceptions are old loads and if you did a OS upgrade, in which case a factory reload fully warranted.

A reflash should only be done to upgrade or if the original factory load image has been corrupted (very unlikely).
[General Questions and Answers] Masterkong:
ok.

i have an samsung galaxy tab S6 and since the upgrade to Android 11/OneUI3.1 international key on any hardware keyboard stopped working. regardless of layout set. Dvorak etc. does work though.

so i think it is a software bug and not some lingering configuration.

support asked me first to clear the cache on samsung keyboard app and when that didnt work they asked me to reset all settings in general management. no bueno there either. next thing they want me to do is facory data reset.

so my thinking is if this is a software bug that won't do any good. but reflashing the tablet with android 10 should work if the faulty software is in android 11, or rather in samsungs OneUI i guess.

does this make sense?
[General Questions and Answers] Masterkong:
but i digressed. what i wanted to learn was what data is affected in a factory reset compared to a firmware flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] willcor:
I basically answered your questionin above post..!

Factory reset will wipe your internal data.!

Where as flashing correct Official Firmware depends...... .!

eg If you do a dirty flash... you keep your data..! Data stays intact, but chances are "anything" (system apps) can get corrupted.?

Resulting eg, in excessive battery drain or an app not working properly.

(In Samsung devices when flashing you use /if you flash... eg Home_CSC etc with the other relevant files)

Otherwise/alternative, if you flash

(.. with the correct Official Firmware using)

eg CSC_XXX file, your device will automatically factory reset..!

Bottom line is, it depends how you flash your device.

example.....

HOME_CSC_xxx -> data will stay intact.

CSC_xxx-> device will factory reset.

Note,

If you knew the basics, about flashing official firmware......

you should have known, above information.?

So i suggest that either you do some reading /research, regarding flashing correct official

Firmware etc or you stand risk of soft

bricking you device..

Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
All critical data photos, contacts, music, vids, etc should already fully backed up, redundantly.

The whole idea of a reload or flash is a fresh start from issues that are present.

OS's are 100% expendable, critical data is not.

It's a little game to see how long you can keep a OS copy running well, but that's all it is.

Erratic behavior could indicate a virus or rootkit.

A benign instability could end up corrupting important data, even backups.

I'm ready to reload -now- should be how you roll; keep your data organized and backed up.

If you have a SD card slot, use it as a data drive. OS/programs/download folder on the internal memory or primary drive, and all critical data on the the data drive. You can nuke the OS but your data is safely (hopefully) still on the data drive, you backup that drive at least twice.

Hello to alee, I wanted to ask if there is also a root for the LG Velvet in the 4G version (GM910)? I think there is a root for the Velvet 5G (GM900)! But is there also one for the Velvet 4G? I would be very happy about help! Friendly greetings to everyone.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] Redicat:
Sorry late reply, The only way to root as far is to unlock the bootloader (

European market ONLY

) go to the LG developer website for LG Velvet bootloader unlock HERE OR HERE if link does not work.

As there is no TWRP for LG Velvet 4G as of now you'll need to download LGs Velvet 4G firmware for your model and region to flash boot.img/recovery.img with MAGISK. But

LG firmware is in .kdb format not .zip

the only method i know that works is to download kdztools AND use Python WITH zstandard package installed.

CMD to the kdztools directory and follow the guide in either GitHub/readme.txt that comes with kdztools use help commands and you'll be able to extract boot.img/recovery.img

ONLY patch/flash 1/2

prefer to use boot.img if magisk shows you have ramdisk on your device patch it with magisk and flash it in fastboot follow Magisk install guide and DONE you're now rooted!

Only works for Europe cause bootloader, sad for anyone else, sorry!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockybear:
Hi. I live in Korea and um... I live in a country that is quite tight to use Google services.

In South Korea, some Google services are restricted due to North Korean provocations and security reasons.

Representative examples are Google Maps and Google Earth. Google Maps has been updated in 2014, and Google Earth is not being serviced in Korea.

I need to use Google Earth, but even if I install Earth with my US account, it automatically detects this and the Android OS automatically deletes it.

So, it turns out that the Android OS automatically detects the package name and automatically deletes it when it is used in Korea, but the Google Earth package name has not been changed. Anyone can help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User699:
Your OS deletes them automatically?o_O

I don't think you can change the package name that easily.

You could download the apk and reverse engineer it, then change the package name and rebuild your app.

But that isn't legal i guess...

Maybe you could try to find that app which automatically deletes your google earth app. Maybe you can trick this one somehow.

If you can use your webbrowser as well, you could also use the web version of google earth.

If it's restricted you could use a free non-logging vpn like e.g. protonvpn.

If your government, however, doesn't what you to access such things, they may take legal actions against you, since your internet service provider sees if you connect to a vpn (but not, what you access from within this vpn).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Android OS is an operating system, it therefore only processes instructions, but never does the latter by itself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User699:
You are right. But I guess he wanted to say, that something (a script, app, etc) is automatically deleting it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Then OP should should be clear: I am not a clairvoyant as you might be. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User699:
Well, people don't always know it better so they describe it in the best way they can.

And besides: I actually studied the art of clairvoyants – but since there's no way you could know that I assume you are one too:p

To stay on topic: It's a good idea to help people to understand things like that, which is why I appreciate your clarification about what the Android OS actually is!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
OP knows that usage of Google Maps - with regards to South Korean maps - is refused in South Korea. Wondering why he instead doesn't make use of Naver Maps for his/her day-to-day navigations.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User699:
I don't know. But his main concern is google earth, which is quite different compared to google maps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I know that the 2 apps are completely different ones, serve different purpose. :):)

OP surely also knows that usage of Google Earth is denied in South Korea.

OP should know that Google Earth is copyrighted by Google and not open source what freely can be modified - that's valid for its APK too.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is a violation of the XDA-forum rules to point out here how one might have to change Google Earth APK - means re-master it - that it is also executable in South Korea.

BTW: Google Earth's APK's AndroidManifest.xml comes as compressed. Google know what to do to avoid hacking.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User699:
Isn't that always/often the case and should be easy revertable?

However, that would be another question and I must admit your right.
