Try it, it's easy enough to undo if it's problematic.

Google Play Services was literally polling the internet 4 times every minute at idle. Unacceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
You must have some bug or some special telemetry option turned ON somewhere.

Never seen this kind of behavior.

I wonder if anyone has ever analyzed what normal behavior is on an Android phone where the user turns off all telemetry options that they can.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I did. Tried everything including disabling Firebase. Transport Services runs a lot even when toggle off. Finally package block it.

Disabling Google Play Services is the only thing that gets it on my N10+ (Pie).

[Sony Xperia M] silv3rfox:
I got recently an Xperia M (C1905) with stock, and trying to install a decent firmware (even official ones) seems like a daunting task due to most of the threads here being archived. So this is a self guide (for me) for whoever needs to install a new ROM. Although the LineageOS has a very thorough guide, for a device that is not maintained anymore, many xda-ers might find this one helpful.

I'll cover 2 main topics: Unlocking the bootloader, Flashing TWRP and a custom ROM

Prerequisites

I'm assuming you have a computer (preferably a linux) that has already fastboot and adb.

[Sony Xperia M] marcosandreeo:
Hi and thanks for this tutorial in 2021.

I had this old phone(Xperia M C005 - dual SIM) here and decided to install LineageOS on it just for fun and after following this tutorial I was able to do it. Still, I ran into some problems especially because of the FOTA Kernel.

So here are the steps I took if any one is interested or having the same problems I had. But first, I recommend everyone to read the tutorial above. It's very good and this is just to complement it.

******* TWRP ***********

Boot into fastmode (power off the device, press volume down button while connecting the usb cable to a computer and when a blue light shows up below the screen it's in fast boot)

Run the command in your computer to install twrp:

./fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.2-0-nicki.img

You can disconnect the device.

*******Install custom rom (LineageOS in my case) ***********

Boot into TWRP by pressing the power button and volume up button at the same time and release when the sony logo shows up. The menu where your are supposed to swip right can be unresponsive for some reason(maybe still loading something). Wait for like a minute and it should behave normally.

Go to Advanced->Sideload

Send the custom rom, FOTAKernel, Gapps and Dual SIM patch to the device with the following command(replace *location* with the path of every file):

./adb push *location* /sdcard

Go to the TWRP terminal and run the following command:

dd if=/sdcard/FOTAKernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

After, install the custom rom(wipe data just to be sure), followed by the dual SIM patch and Gapps

You can reboot after that. Wait patiently for lineage OS to start. It will stay at the boot screen for like 10 minutes.

Here's some ideas:

[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
To be honest, I would hold off until we have a working TWRP build, especially if this is your first experience of root, etc
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Shanemichealrowland:
I was thinking the same thing .I just thought maybe there are some safer mods I should do in the meantime.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] flash713:
@Shanemichealrowland

I've been rooting Android for many years now. I always read read and read some more before I begin to install anything and I always wait until there is a working custom recovery and make a FULL backup of every partition and transfer it to a USB drive and or my computer first thing. Make sure to backup your efs as well so that if you lose your IMEI at some point it too can them be reflashed using fastboot. These are things I've always done and will continue to always do. Many users get excited and rush out to install things and don't read enough about their device and end up with an expensive piece of plastic and glass. If you always wait and read everything and make sure you fully understand how your device works before you install things then you will always have a great experience and never have to go through the bad feeling of ruining your expensive device. I read everything in a forum about my device first. You can't go wrong doing things that way. I hope this helps. OnePlus makes great devices! I'm using my OnePlus 6t now to type this and I still love it!! Welcome to XDA my friend. :)

Edit added: I see you're from Houston. Me too. :D
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Shanemichealrowland:
Wow,your so right. Ive already caught and stopped myself from installing a couple things I wasnt sure about.I think im gonna slow down a bit and keep learning.Thanks for bringing me back to whats should be going on.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
There are Magisk modules but if you get into trouble you need to be able to access recovery, OnePlus's default recovery isn't quite as all encompassing as TWRP
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pyry666:
Afaik you can delete problematic magisk modules in safemode. Plus I havent used TWRP pretty much for anything with OnePlus 8 pro and after. That just helps me understand better how things work. Plus because I use Linux msm is useless to me but thats another topic

Edit: Dont get me wrong, not trying to convince people to mod/flash anything. Just pointing out that TWRP is not necessity.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
Could you clarify this? What procedure do you follow in the event of a brick? I use Linux exclusively and would prefer to be able to recover from a brick using Linux instead of relying on MSM, but I'm not clear on all the steps MSM does or where/how I would find the specifics needed to do the same thing myself.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pyry666:
Ive only done that once myself and that was with 6T. But basicly you need to flash every partition etc via terminal
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
Ok, I've flashed all partitions before, but I thought there was more to MSM's steps than that. E.g. fixing the partitions themselves, or some sort of voodoo required to recover from any sort of soft brick.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pyry666:
AfaIk there is not that much. It locks bootloader though and IF something goes wrong that could cause issues. One of the reasons ive never used it.

Edit: Ill correct myself. MSM uses EDL mode. And if device is borked that badly then only it works. And imo should be used only then

Edit2: One could try using virtual machine to use MSM with Linux but I have zero knowledge how that would play out
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
Right, I've been in situations with my last phone where EDL was my only option and I had to use MSM. I have dual boot on a laptop for those occasional Windows-only things like MSM. In the past I've found the USB passthrough to be unreliable for this purpose using a VM in virtualbox, though I haven't tried in a few years so it may have improved.

Hello,

I used magisk to root my phone and everything's working fine but many things I want to fix and can't seem to find how to.

First of all, what's the point of rooting if only way to remove system apps are with adb? Can do this without root.

Any way to activate double tap to open close the screen when locked? Damn I hate soooo much the single tap to open it and the double tap that does nothing to close it.

Any way to remove the bottom search bar? I removed 2 packages with adb but the search bar is still there.

Any way to close/lock the phone besides the power button? Coming from HTC U11 with squeeze features, it bogs me a lot not having any other way to lock it than the power button.

I think that is it for now. I'll add if I think of more.

Thanks!

Custom roms and kernels

nope

not on stock rom. not sure about custom as I haven't tried any yet

not sure what you mean hear...
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] grat_master:
Maybe with a custom rom I can remove the useless bottom screen search bar. Is it only working with chrome or can it work with any browser?

What I meant is with HTC U11 you can squeeze the phone to do things like open the camera, take a picture, open led lights, and most importantly lock the phone and close the screen. I was wondering if the 4a 5g can lock screen by another mean than power button.

Also I just found out there are no notifications led. How do you guys know if you have sms or emails or whatnot?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] thomas.raines:
I reformatted my phone just to see what you mean about bottom search bar. The only way that I know of to remove it, install a different launcher... i.e. nova launcher, apex launcher, etc... refer to playstore

No squeezing here... Use power button

When your phone makes the notification noise and or vibrates... Like I told my wife several phones ago... Learned to live without it or get a different phone and do your research before you buy it.

Hello,

I am running an ATT branded 8525 that I updraded to Dutty's Diamond V1 build 19588.

While bbq'n at my company picnic Saturday, my phone got wet and fell onto the ground. Now, all I get is a screen with four colored bars, red, green, blue, and white. In the red, it says HERM100, IPL-104 and HERM100 SPL-2.03. I believe that this is the bootloader screen.

I have searched through this forum and have tried to unbrick it using mtty, but it does not see the device on the usb port.

I do not know what caused my problem, rain, or being dropped. The phone was working flawlessly for 4 weeks with this rom prior this incident. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Another person who didn't Hard SPL their phone......:rolleyes:

Looks like you're in for some serious work to fix this... There are a lot of threads about this problem though I don't believe a lot of success.:(

I'd first try the wiki on how to unbrick your Hermes, it may offer a solution but the fact you didn't hard SPL your phone makes it harder (if not impossible) to fix... Also do a search on the forum, it may give you an answer BUT if you do recover your Hermes the 1ST THING TO DO IS INSTALL HARD SPL. It makes it so much easier to recover from these tragedies...

Here are a few threads...

I have found a method in which I used myself and helped others who have experienced a file transfer issue when they have installed a Custom ROM on their device.

This method worked for me and hopefully works for you.

DISCLAIMER:

*I am not responsible for bricked devices, damage to your device*

THIS IS FOR FILE TRANSFER WITH WINDOWS LAPTOP/PC

Connect your device to your windows device and choose file transfer option

Search for device manager

Click Open

Find "Android Device"

Right-click and Choose Uninstall Device OR properties -> Uninstall Device

Disconnect your device

Reconnect your device + choose file transfer

Should be done and enjoy transferring files with your Android device like you should :)

If it didn't work for you try this (Tested by @AkP2809):

Find 'ADB Composite Device'

Click Update Driver or Properties -> Update Driver

Change to 'USB Composite Device''

Done

Credits:

@AkP2809 Trying my method, but found another method that fixed the same issue

[FYT Android Head Units] TheChildSahelanthropus:
Hey all, first time posting here so please let me know if this isn't the right place. I bought a Joying head unit, and so far it's awesome. I haven't installed it yet but I have been testing it with a DC supply since my engineering school has lots of tools for that kind of stuff.

In the android home screen, everything works awesome. It's smooth, customizable, and is filled with features. It has the CarLink app for Apple Carplay, which is the main reason for buying the headunit, and that unfortunately seems to be the weakest link. The FPS is low, and not smooth at all like I've seen in the videos for Joying head units. This supports wireless carplay, and it's the same performance wired or wireless.

Here's a video showing what's happening:

The lag is also very noticeable when I call Siri, since the bubble that pops up is SUPER choppy and awful to look at. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to fix this? My specific model is the JY-UQB09N4G-H.

On a sidenote, this isn't as important but it's still annoying, but WiFi is off every time I reboot the head unit, even though I turned on the option for turning wifi on after boot in the wifi settings. I'm currently using home wifi to get this thing setup. Is this not an issue if I fast boot in my car when the +12V line is always powered?

Is it possible to maintain a data connection and phone connection at the same time?

Currently, if my phone is connected to the internet through an HSDPA data connection, the connection is dropped when I receive a phone call over 3G.

I use my niki's HSDPA connection (FarEastTone in Taiwan) for connecting to the 'net on my home PC, but it is also my primary phone so I would like to be able to keep the internet connection alive when receiving or making calls.

Any ideas?

I am using a wired headphone with volume controls that worked fine on an older Android Device. On the Pixel 4a, volume up and pause/play don't work (in all the apps I have tried).

There are different threads on this issue, but the one that comes the closest is this one: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/85636703?hl=en. Do I need different headphones? Can I connect the via USB-C? Will the controls still work then?

I have a Redmi 6 (China version) that was sold to me as a Global edition. So when i updated the ROM much later and didn't unselect Lock Bootloader' it bricked the device.

Ive been reading up for weeks and trying to get it up and running again. I was planning on getting a Chinese ROM onto it then using the official xiaomi tool to unlock the bootloader once i signed into my xiaomi account on the phone.

I pursued the EDL method for sometime before realising it was a Mediatek phone. This week i have been trying to use the Mediatek Bypass to flash an official Chinese rom onto the phone but am getting the following error (see attached screenshot).

Just to clarify im just trying to flash a rom not unlock the bootloader with the mediatek bypass.

Is this possible?

If not are there any other methods i have not seen?

If not i can just give up which will be welcome :)
