In Samsung Omnia, there is this cool thing of the phone vibrating when you press a button on the keyboard, which give somekind of feedback feeling.

Any one knows how to make this happen in diamond????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mike21pr:
there is an app that does this already, search for Vibration Feedback

Haptic feedback for Diamond.

Guys,

The link provided above is for some older Haptic feedback tool which is definitely not a good idea on the Diamond.

There is only one tool to achieve this on the Diamond. This is the newest release and battery use is fine.

There is a control panel to activate vibration feedback only if the SIP is in use, which is mega useful.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
here, this works on the diamond. personally i dont use it, the novelty wore off real quick. the vibration frequency is not to my taste. also i don't think the default tones are working after un-install.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
shamefull double post but the uplaod worked this time :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ahirshfield:
Hmmm, please be careful with the tnyynt DialPad Vibrate.cab file. It makes registry changes to replace the DTMF tones only in the Dialer SIP. The vibration is not adjustable and unless you have a backup of the original values, it is hard to restore the original tones. If you uninstall, it will not undo the changes made to the registry....

....Seriously best bet is to try the app I linked to in my post above. It uses a separate application "VOA" to register any screen-taps. The included setting utility allows to change the vibration level and dictate when it should be active. Plus it is uninstallable and no system changes are made to files/registry.

Greetings,

I have nethunter installed, i usually used it for testing but now i'll need to use the 7pro as my main phone. However the phone is not encrypted and the encryption option is disabled, if i'm not wrong this was disabled during nethunter installation.

Is there a way to keep nethunter and encrypt the phone ?

Does anyoneknow, is it possible to use a smartwatch as a shot button in PhotoPro and which one?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] ringowu1234:
Wear OS or Tizen on your smart watch?

Either way, it is achievable if you can find an app that acts as volume button, and set volume control as shutter in PhotoPro app.

[General Questions and Answers] Jackdashack:
I have searched for answers. Several say a change has to be made in Device Administrators under Security. I do not see anything like device administrators and I have so many apps taking up space. I know you can disable them but they are still taking up space. Several, the Disable button is greyed out so that you cannot disable them? What the heck? Why are buyers made to accept these they do not want.

Is there any help here? Thanks! ":-Dx jack
[General Questions and Answers] :
Once device's Android got rooted you can remove those apps.
[General Questions and Answers] Jackdashack:
Thank you. I have heard of rooting for a number of years. I have no idea how to do it. Looked into it but the rhetoric concerned me that I might do something wrong and so I never did. I could google how to root my LG phone. I guess your phone service provider is not worried about this?
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I agree with @jwoegerbauer.

You'll have to root your android device at first in order to remove pre-installed apps.

I see I have just asked this question again. I don't know if I missed you fella's answers. But "rooting" . . . I've heard of but seems to be a tech option. I am not an IT. Is there a relatively easy way to explain now to "root" an android phone and it's side effects. This phone holds my only number, no land line, and I don't to lose my number or phone service via the Android change. This last 4 of my numbers have been the family's for 74 years.

Hello,

I've got a TV Box running Android 8 (non upgradable) and I'm trying to watch movies from my USB flash drive (formatted as exFAT, since I've got files larger than 4GB).

Issue #1: VLC player (version 3.0, also non upgradable) does not recognize it at all.

Issue #2: In the native File Explorer app, I can see and access the movie files. But, if I try to open them using VLC, an error occurs (something related to "path cannot be found or does not exist").

Question #1: is there a workaround to force VLC to "see" my flash drive?

Question #2: do you know any file explorer app that works on Android 8 AND detects external USB drives, which could be used to open VLC avoiding the path problem?

Question #2 is related to this video. However, this app no longer exists and I've spent hours looking for another one without success.

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
Hey there!

After 2 years I'm finally switching from a great OnePlus 7 Pro to a brand new Galaxy S21 Ultra (US, Snapdragon, unlocked).

I rooted my OP7 the first day I got it, it was pretty straightforward - OnePlus made things easier too - and keeping it updated wasn't a big deal. Maintenance was smooth. I really didn't lose any security service, all my banking and payment apps worked flawlessly.

On the other hand, I've never rooted a Samsung before, but I keep reading that it's a bit of a pain.

So I wanted to ask to those of you who already rooted the S21 how it's going. Any app/service you had to leave behind so far? Any complications or difficulties?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 3mel:
US Snap Dragon chips now have a locked bootloader countrywide in newer Samsung Galaxy phones.

no TWRP or root without going thru a paid bootloader unlock service
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
Yeah, I know there's no TWRP for Android 11 yet. That's why I haven't updated my OP7.

Well, sounds like this countrywide lock is a real big pain then
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 3mel:
I'm not an S21 owner nor American, I've just seen this in the S20FE forums, that's how US networks want Samsung to do stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tech_head:
Not being able to reliably unlock the BL is why I haven't gotten a S21 Ultra. I'm now looking at the Sony Xperia 1 III.

I also have a 7 Pro
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 3mel:
something I read on an xda news page about treble said Sony put in lots of work on getting their vendor layer perfect for treble so GSIs should work with all features on Sony phones. everyone seems to not want you leaving their ecosystems such they are.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
This. I'm not looking at the phone you mentioned, but I'll probably be sticking to the Pixel devices moving forward. It just stinks that Google hadn't had a proper Pixel 5 release (due to the government secretly pinning the lawsuit that was for Apple against Google instead, causing them to lose around $170M USD) and so I went to the S21U...

While I like the phone, I probably definitely won't be going back to Samsung for my next phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BlaaaaazedUp:
I went from a OnePlus 7T to the S21 Ultra. The flasher in me went crazy the first month or two. I kept looking for ways to unlock and root etc. Regretted my decision. BUT THEN, after exploring and research, I found that I could get rid of ads across the whole phone. Including in app ads. I could theme. I could do basically everything I wanted WITHOUT root. After gradually moving all my passwords to Knox, it's grown on me. I'm very content. Samsung UI has come a long way imo

Just think about what you want out of being rooted. Research and find outnif you can accomplish the same without root and then go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
How do you block app ads? @BlaaaaazedUp

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] leongzxc:
if tripping KNOX is worth it, then can go ahead
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
If you don't mind losing more battery than normal (and losing a tiny bit of browsing speed depending on your setup): AdGuard - which isn't on the Play Store. But if you want to block those ads without any issues, you'll need AdAway with root.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
I rooted my OnePlus 7 Pro for adblocking (adaway + minminguard), Battery Charge Limit and some small UI improvements and app debloat - Oxygen OS doesn't require that much though. I can't say the same about Samsung.

At the moment, on my S21 I'm just using adaway VPN, which works fine but not consistently. I also tried SystemUI Tuner to remove the VPN icon from the status bar - I can't believe there's no system option for that - but it stops working when you restart the phone.

I really don't know what KNOX is for and I don't know what tripping it implies.

Other than that, I'm really forcing myself to get used to the squircle icons across the UI
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lebigmac:
Samsung removed the fastboot mode from all their devices. How is that supposed to be open source and developer friendly? No more Samsung for me. Never again. Xiaomi is much more open source and developer friendly and much cheaper. Bye bye Samsung! Good riddance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
You can use Good Lock to remove any icons from statusbar and edit all the things you want, including control center, app switcher style, keyboard effects, lockscreen, clock, etc.

It's a very powerful tool.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tech_head:
I just found a mint 9 Pro for $900.

Still with OnePlus.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] davie9x:
I've been rooted for 2 weeks with a hong kong model G9880, unlocking the bootloader was pretty smooth only the firmware download and extra steps to root Samsung devices are much more complicated compared to OnePlus phone including OTA updates.

Everything I've been using was without any problems so far, I've tested Samsung Health and Samsung Pay wasn't working, but not a big deal for me as I use Google Pay. Samsung DeX is working fine also. I don't like Samsung apps as I don't want to stick with them too long.

For me it was worth it to root and trip Knox, because root is a feature for me as I'm pretty nerdy about controlling things and making things my own. I mostly use root for: Tasker automation for limiting battery charging, disabling services, and so much more automations, Adaway, (LP), EdXposed: PrivacyLua, AllTrans, theming Gboard themes, disabling navbar buttons and replace them with FNG and One Hand Operation+ (now using Nova doesn't have issues with swipe gestures, yaay!), Greenify to doze apps, DarQ to make almost any apps dark mode, SD maid (rooted) for disabling apps that start up on boot, Panda Mouse Pro for mapping keyboard in games without mouse and keyboard support (activation with root doesn't need a computer and adb anymore), also i can access ADB in Termux without a computer and without LADB, and so much moooree.. I could go on all day.

After rooting, all tweaking it is SO MUCH pleasure and so smooth to use and it all depends on the user if you're satisfied the way you use your phone. Tripping KnoX may decrease sale price if you're going to sell your phone in the future but I've read they still accept your phone as a trade-in for another phone so it's great. Of course some things can also do without root but with a hassle.

I'm coming from OnePlus 8 Pro and I chose S21 Ultra for DeX mode and when I use screen mirroring I can output 120hz for gaming and bought a monitor for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tiliarou:
You don't neet adguard or root to block ads. Use the global dns in settings. Use adguard dns or a custom ad blocker such as nextdns. Both are free.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maxq1:
i'd like to get some insights on this too. i've been with android since froyo (yes, i'm old ;) ) and i've rooted everything i've had from day 0, whenever possible. i'm on my 3rd month with the s21u and still stock as i find most of the things i need or do have workarounds for root (like changing out macrdodroid over tasker). so to those who've rooted, did you guys gain batt improvements? this might be a clincher for me
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
Good to know. Is there any difference between the Hong Kong and US version?

I used to root my phones for quite the same reasons. I stopped using Greenify ages ago though, I don't think it's necessary on modern phones. And I'm not 100% sure about EdExposed as it slowed down my OP7 Pro a bit.

How do you find yourself with Samsung and system updates? Is it a stress to update and re-root?

Agree. I'm using AdAway VPN based ad blocker at the mo, but for sure it comes with some cons. It's definitely slower than using the root based version. When I switch networks - from wifi to mobile for instance - it always takes some time to reestablish the connection. Sometimes I have to force close AdAway, if i want to use internet again. I'm slowly getting used to it btw
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tiliarou:
Using adaway vpn is almost as using the built in android dns setting, although adaway app as more features.

These features can be replicated within nextdns and then you never have to worry about anything. Except if you us public open WiFi network like in malls or airports where sometimes custom dns aren't allowed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] davie9x:
tbh I don't really know about US versions, but please check the root thread and search through the comments, but when u have a carrier phone then it's hard to unlock, maybe pay for an unlock service..

updating and re-rooting is doable and not that complicated just with extra steps, u just patch the new update via magisk and use odin to do the rest, it depends just on the download speed of the new firmware update..

I use Greenify and Naptime just for some chinese apps that I use or shopping apps that keep running in the background and sending notifications. And with Tasker I can enable aggressive doze during sleep time. It's true that modern phones don't need dozing much, because Samsung overdoes it and sometimes it misses some notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
samsung hasnt used fastboot for years and years.. nothing new.. u dont need fastboot to customize a phone.. plus twrp nowadays has a fastboot mode
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
Btw mine is US yes, but already unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
the biggest problem when you are rooting Samsung device is that KNOX is triggerd and than you will not be able to receive ant FOTA updates or use any of the Samsung prebuilt apps - like Samsung Pass , Samsung pay etc .

I'm rooting my devices since I remember myself , now unfortunately if I will do it it will be almost impossible for me to sell it in second hand without FOTA .

if you don't mind to lose those abilities I totally recommend to ROOT your device
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
I'm still trying to figure out what tripping KNOX means in practical terms.

If it means losing Samsung Pass and Pay only then I'm totally happy with it, because I don't use them
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vegetaleb:
Also came from a rooted op7pro, I don't regret at all my S21U, this phone is a beast.

1 month and still no root because tripping knox means voiding the warranty in my country, I am using a dns to get rid of ads and I am planning to install hex installer to have additional mods.

Actual custom roms have nearly nothing to offer over the stock one, now if Lineage get released one day then yes I will root my s21u
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
It depends really. One thingvis certain tripping knox will cause issues with a number of samsung apps to not work mainly samsung pay, secure folder, shealth (although maybe some hacks to get shealth working again) etc.

The grey area is it technically is a knox "warranty" bit. So depending on your country, carrier, insurance etc. varies as far as what us acceptable, ignored, allowed etc. when it comes to a voided warranty. Some countries might say it voids warranty so its no longer covered but at same time might notvreally enforce it.. some countries coukd care less. Some might not even know what it is or how to check it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] _JuSteR_:
I'm with you. I'm giving a look at 'hex installer' now, but doesn't seem to be 100% functional. Let me know how it goes

I see. Tbh I initially thought that tripping knox would have compromised the use of any banking apps, any NFC payment apps and the touch ID system. It actually sounds something less invasive
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
You also lose the ability to receive any updates from Samsung

I'm not sure but I think that any samsung app wl not work .

For me personally I'm also dosent use any of these apps

But the ability to receive Android update is a major issue for me
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
not accurate.. u lose updates when device is shown as "custom".. if u run complete stock unrooted etc then u can still get updates usually..

and some samsung apps work or can be made to work.. theres a few tho that will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
Ok

So let me see if I understand what you mean.

If I'm unlock BL and ROOT my device

I will still be able to receive Android update?

I'm not sure about that
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
re-read what i wrote.. i specifically say complete stock and "UNROOTED".. if ur rooted then device will show as being custom
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
Ohh ok

So this is exactly what I ment before
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] HotWingsAndBeer:
So you're just reiterating exactly what he said in the first place?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
it is not.. he replied to comment about features lost after tripping knox saying that he also believes it prevents updates from working.

This is not true. Once you unlock bl and flash custom firmware knox is tripped forever. If you are on 100% stock unrooted you can still get ota even with knox being tripped. So I was simply pointing out hus belief that ota updates wont work when knox is tripped as being incorrect in some scenarios..

also he stated he believes no samsung apps will work which is also not true since its only a few that wont work and some can be modified to work and others still work.

So it actually was the "opposite" of what he said originally.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
in fact he says twice that ota will not work and no samsung apps will work which are not entirely true. I am just pointing out that ota updates are still possible with tripped knox if on 100% stock (or can use odin to update) as well as most samsung apps will work except spay, secure folder and sometimes shealth which usually has some fixes available to work so really common one that wont work is spay but to say any prebuilt samsung apps will not work is untrue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
Ok

Thank you for the clarification ☺

Just want to make sure

If I'm staying with stock but debloat it I will still get OTA?

As far as I remember from my note 9 once I unlocked the BL no Fota updates been available for me
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] elliwigy:
no.. i said if on 100% stock and unrooted etc... if ur device status is "custom" then updates will fail.. "debloating" the firmware is a customization therefore would be considered a "custom" rom.. not sure how else to explain it...

Hey man im using the 7T currently and was considering the S21 ultra, im from India so its the Crapsynos version. are you on the snapdragon or exynos? if exynos, is it smooth like the 7t (before the ****ty android 11 update that ruined the phone). I wanted to root my 7t but never had to because there was no lag at all. My last samsung phone was the galaxy sl (back in 2009), i know things have come a long way... but im still afraid because of the lagfest i faced and the need to format device every 2 months to get it working normally again.

Max. Exposure > Back camera = 0.6 * Max. Exposure Time (to help prevent overexposure)

Lib Patcher > Global Options = all enabled at DEFAULT values (for better color)

Hi everyone, I am planning to buy this phone - Indian version with model number RMX2076. version I intend to purchase is 8GB | 128GB version.

I have a few doubts and need help & answers please.

I intend to flash the stock Indian Rom with EU/Global version of Stock Rom. I am doing this to activate more number of 4G and 5G bands available on this device on the EU/Global variant, as against fewer network bands available on stock Indian ROM version. source: https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_x50_pro_5g-10097.php

I would prefer to keep the boot-loader locked post the ROM Flash and get the rest of the phone working as stock. I prefer, the security of locked boot-loader, and would like all bank apps, UPI Payment apps and Google Pay app working.

My Queries are:

Can this be done on this device?.

Will the device receive regular OTA OS and security updates for the Global/EU ROM post the Flash?.

Are there hardware changes in Global version of this phone that I should be aware of, prior to this Global ROM flash on the Indian version RMX2076?.

any and all help appreciated. Thank you.
