[General Questions and Answers] CrystalScaling:
Hi,

Repurposing old smartphones, I've stumbled upon the problem that partitions have suboptimal sizes - on an 8GB devices there's under 3GB that is usable.

Even after flashing, say, SlimOS that takes 0.5GB, the usable space stays the same due to no repartitioning taking place.

Repartitioning is dangerous as it can lead to a bricked device and is a hassle in itself.

Hence the question, what to place on /system having root permission?

I've tried placing media, but apps have problems opening them (they can see them, but won't open).

Sidenote: the problem is seen on newer phones to a lesser degree due to bigger storage overall - e.g. a 32GB Redmi has 10GB+ taken out of the box by the OS.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Partition /system - as it name implies - is reserved for Android OS, nothing else.
[General Questions and Answers] CrystalScaling:
The answer is to place APK files in /system/app and set 644 permission.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Magichost:
Bros... I would like to unlock bootloader of OnePlus 7 pro but do not have PC. Can I use bugjaeger adb tool app on Google play store to issue ADB commands via OTG USB cable from one Android phone to another? If that works then I could install TWRP and magisk manager by downloading both on Wi-Fi and root without PC. Will it work?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
Yeah that maybe work, I personally never tested that way.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] greyblue9:
You just need to fastboot unlock? Or more?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Magichost:
I am looking to buy a OnePlus 7 pro off eBay. I would like to use ADB commands to unlock bootloader so I can root with TWRP and magisk without PC. If I buy carrier unlocked phone does that mean I can unlock the bootloader and what unlocked carrier versions allow me to unlock the bootloader?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] greyblue9:
Not necessarily! Be super careful. You don't have Verizon do you?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] greyblue9:
There's a way to unlock certain OP7 phones recently but it requires a computer running Windows and it's fairly hard to set up. Ideally you would get a carrier-unbranded phone. The nasty thing is they'll still sell it as "unlocked" even if the bootloader *is* locked.
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
Hi!

Have had the Pro version for a while. It connects to my home mesh network without a problem. Asus XT8 (WIFI6). Works great!

At my work they also use a WIFI6 mesh network, delivered by Cisco I think. But I cannot get the tablet to connect. It doesn't even try to authenticate. My Pixel 5 connects no problem, also countless other devices, Samsung's, Apple's, etc. But my P11 Pro doesn't even want to authenticate. I've tried to reset the tablet, but didn't fix anything. It connected once and that was the very first time it connected to the work network. I've tried to use QR code from a device that has connection, no avail.

I've tried talking to my administrator, but to no help. My device, not their problem... And yeah, it most defiantly seems to be my device that has a problem. I found out they use WPA3 key (or at least has the option enabled), could that be the problem? At home and other networks I can connect to I belive is only using WPA2 key.
[Lenovo P11] m+a+r+k:
Android 10 is compatible with WPA3.

Have you tried "Forgetting" the SSID and trying to connect again?

Does the administrator have MAC address blocking on the router?
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
Thank you for answering.

I've tried deleting the SSID information from the tablet, but it doesn't rectify the problem. Same result, says "connecting..." under the SSID and the nothing.

I'll ask if they can check if the MAC been blocked! But, in WIFI options the MAC "spoofing"/randomizer in Android is enabled for this network
[Lenovo P11] m+a+r+k:
Try your MAC hardware address rather than random if you can. You'll be presenting to the router with different MAC addresses every time you connect and if they do have MAC address blocking then you'll be blocked.

I'm grasping at straws to be honest
[Lenovo P11] aresjan:
Did you bought the Chinese version with global rom? because I bought it, and i was having problems with the wifi, I found out it was only with the 5 ghz network, it only connected to the Chinese allowed bands. The only solution I found was with magisk changing the props where the wifi region is located, but then you loose widevine L1.
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
I've talked to admin, they told me there's no special MAC ban. It's also NOT WIFI6 as I thought earlier, but 5, and WPA2-PSK. Same as home I believe.

No, this one is bought from Lenovo's website (DigitalRiver), based in EU where I live (Norway). One of the reasons I bought it was widewine L1 support XD.
[Lenovo P11] m+a+r+k:
I see no reason why it should misbehave then - strange. :confused:
[Lenovo P11] aresjan:
Well, even then you can check if the wifi region is correct, you can go to the recovery and select "view recovery logs" and check the following props "ro.product.countrycode" and "ro.boot.wificountrycode" if any of this says "CN" then is the region wrong and the culprit is the lenovo oficial ROW rom.
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
ro.product.countrycode=SE

ro.boot.wificountrycode=SE

I think this would be correct as SE would correspond to Sweden. Norway and Sweden are neighbouring countries and I see often that many manufacturers doesn't have Norway as an option, but Sweden is listed (and Denmark...)

Or should I contact customer support and ask if I should have recieved one that says NO in these entries?
[Lenovo P11] aresjan:
Well looks ok, you can use an app like wifi analyzer to see what channel is your work network, and if your tablet see it, if your tablet cannot see it, maybe they are using a forbidden channel (for example here in Spain you cannot use the 14 channel on 2.4 ghz network, but i found that some routers use it anyway), in case that the tablet find the network it can be a rom related problem. I doubt is hardware related because you said the connection is fine on your house and you can connect one time at your work. Anyway is not a bad idea contacting Lenovo customer support with the connection parameters.
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
It can see the network just give. In android and in Wifi analyzer app. Doesn't use any forbidden channels afaik.

Yeah, I probably should contact Lenovo.

Thank you for your help 😊
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
Update:

Was in contact with Lenovo Technical Support. They hadn't heard about this issue before (OFC). But they recommended I do a what he called "hard hard reset" using Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant as the reset I've done is what he called a soft reset, using the factory reset in Android (not recovery).

So I'll try that and see if that helps.

I also asked about the countrycode beeing Sweden, I was told it is that for all Scandianvian countries.
[Lenovo P11] ivanfix69:
Hello.

I have the exact same issue as BFalck. With the wifi in my home I have no problem while with the wifi at work I can't connect in any way. The network is seen and saved but the connection fails. I must say, however, that my unit is the Chinese one with the European Rom of Lenovo. BFalck let me know if with the "hard hard reset" you can solve. Thank you
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
Sorry to say, the hard reset didn't solve my problem.

Do you know which router/access point you're having trouble with? My job use Cisco air-ap2802i-e-k9.
[Lenovo P11] ivanfix69:
I'm sorry but I don't know this detail. It is very likely that a Cisco device is being used, however. My company provides many wifi networks and the tablet connects to all but not the one that reaches my office...
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
So I had one of the administrators on site a couple of days ago. We've tried to error check the wlan. In the logs of the AP's the Lenovo tablet doesn't seem to even register trying to connect to the network. That confirms my suspicion there's something wrong with the WiFi in the tablet. Some kind of incompatibility with some devices.

I'll be attaching a image of the label of the AP's we're using.
[Lenovo P11] 132nabot:
I have this issue too.

My Xiaoxin Pad Pro ( installed with the Lenovo Pad P11 Pro ROM ) will not connect to my wifi 6 (ax) enabled router on the 5 GHz frequency for use with wifi 5 (ac), only connetcs to 2.4 GHz.

Really annoying. And I cannot disable the wifi 6 function to test connecting to ac-only.

Some backwards compatibility problems, perhaps. Or region specific configurations.

No issues to connect to 5 GHz using my old Netgear r6300v2 (ac-enabled).

Anyone able to connect to a WiFi 6 network?
[Lenovo P11] BFalck:
Yes, no problem connecting to my XT8 mesh at home running W6. Workplace only has W5.
[Lenovo P11] 132nabot:
I managed to get it to work by changing the pre-selected channel option from ISP.

I had to find a way to bypass the locked option in the webUi in the router. (Praise the internet)

My ISP had pre-selected a higher channel range (B-range with DFS) and my P11 did not work with that.

The only other option was "without DFS" and that is only available in the lower A-range (channel 36, 40, 44, 48)

Hope this can help someone!
[Lenovo P11] jpeich:
I can confirm as per previous forum member that this tablet cannot work with 5ghz control channels out of the A-RANGE. It is easy if the router is at home to be changed. At least in ASUS router. Maybe caused by CN wifi profile.aside from that I thinks this tablet is just perfect.
[Lenovo P11] hoa bi ngan:
Can you say more about this. and is there any way to fix them without root? Although I have unlocked the bootloader, I don't know how to root them. And after rooting, does it have any effect on OTA updates? Thank you very much

Hello,

Hi, I have a new xiaomi tv box s on my lg and philips tv's and I enable the hdmi cec both.

On mi box settings I also enable the choice for "one key play" and "one key power off".

When I want to turn on both mi box and tv, it works, but when I want to power off both mi box and tv, it closes only the mi box.

I also have a older Xiaomi Mi Box S that works perfectly with both TV's, so I went back to the shop and replaced the new box but the issue remains.

I can't find any differences between the older box and the 2 new boxes other than the words in the back.

Could it be something related to the hardware or bad implementation of firware?

Or is there a way to download and clean install the a firmware to see if solves this issue?

It's extremely annoying!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mlab31:
Same, I have sony bravia.

Mibox turn on the tv butbit doesn't turn it off, sometimes it will work.and actually turn off the tv but only in rare ocasions, I guess iasue is that the miboxs doesn't turn off at all when pressing the power on the remote it just sleep. Because when I restart the mibox4 it will turn off the TV and turn it back on after few seconds
[General Questions and Answers] joey3002:
So I have been a PC user for like 35 years. TRS 80 was my first computer. Fast forward. The past year I have pretty much gone Apple with everything. Homepods (selling) MacBook Air M1 (selling) too. I am going to stay on my Nuc gaming rig.

Anyway... I am a family of 5, everyone has iphones/ipads so imessage is used. I hit a wall with the mac (massive bluetooth issues with logitech mouse and keyboard) and it brought me back to my Nuc LTSC and it felt like home. The main thing that has kept me on iphone is imessage but today is the first day I am thinking about jumping ship. I have the new mini and like the the size. I use my airpods a TON. I record youtube videos using the airpods as my wireless mic. Now, here is a requirement. I use an ios app called moviepro, it lets me record the front camera and I can push a button and switch to the back camera all in 1 video. Just makes for an easier flow. I also use my airpods as the wireless mic. Is there an android app that allows for the flipping of cameras and bluetooth mic? I shoot in 1080, not 4k as its not needed for my videos. Suggestions?

Thank you

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinassr:
The tablet fell during the past months and its screen was broken, so I asked for a screen and installed it, but then another problem occurred, which is that the device does not fully charge it up to 98% and the charge percentage does not increase after that and when working on the device it automatically turns off after a few minutes for lack of charging But when you put the charger cord, the charge percentage is 60 or 70%.

I tried to put it in the portable charger permanently, but the device freezes for several seconds continuously and then returns to work.

Do you see that the problem is with the battery or could it be something else that has been affected by the device being dropped? :)

Is there a guide on how to install lineageOS (or any rom for that matter) from scratch.(a new a50 phone not rooted or unlocked)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] MordenStudios:
THIS DELETES THE DATA SO BACKUP IT!

There are many tutorials

Unlock OEM: (click me)

( You eventually need to shutdown your phone, and press up and down together to see an green screen where something stands, then press up for about 10 sec) to get in Download Mode: press up and down together when the phone is shutdown and press the up button when it displays an question

Try this here for recovery : (click me)

after that i recommend yout to flash the orange fox recovery: (click me) ( How to flash an Zip )

(It makes it easier for beginner)

after that you can easily install an gsi

For that: Install gsi ( and decompress it that it is and .img ) to an location on your phone where you can easily find it

make a backup ( this cloud in orange fox ) (click on the plus and then

then delete system,dalvik, cache and data ( not Vendor!! ) ( the trash )

then search for your gsi , press on it and press system image

( or watch this video for flashing roms in orangefox )

I prefer the RR gsi: ( click me )
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Android Development] alex009988:
Hi. This is my ROM №12. It has bugs.

Tested:

Camera;

Bluetooth;

FM-Radio.

Bugs:

- NFC-HCE;

- Bluetooth doesnt't work:

- FM Radio;

- something I haven't found.

How to install:

1) use TWRP 3.5.0.

2) wipe all except internal storage

3) Flash rom,gapps and magisk.

4) You may also need to reformat sdcard.

5) If gapps checking for updates too long, just reboot the tablet.

I thought it's los bassed rom but it's aosp based. So bluetooth doesn't work and I don't know how to fix this. If you want to use this rom remove 3 system apps: bluetooth manager, stock camera(use open or google camera), fmradio. Other stuff should work well. Now I'll building oreo roms.

Change log:

20210426- initial build.

Last builds (mirror) are here.

I'm also very grateful to sabar_op for guiding me to build me ROMs in the right way.

I tried to install Malaysian firmware and then I wanted to go back to my stock ORS CSC, but now it's giving me SER CSC and I can't go back to my original CSC, I tried reflashing, sim card ejecting, codes in dialer, etc. and nothing works. it's OXM, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] VonSparq:
I also have a problem with my CSC, I never tried flashing anything onto the phone, but when I first turned it on I did it with no SIM card as it didn't arrive yet and now my CSC is stuck on generic EUX instead of my country code.

I tried a network settings reset, a cache wipe and a factory reset, I also tried those methods of pulling the card out and putting it back in when the phone is off or just taking it out and putting back in while phone is off, none of it worked.

The phone got the April security update so I don't think I'm totally screwed but I don't have Samsung Pay and Members only recently started to work.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Xander20190:
I think you could maybe use a patched odin because the original odin is region locked so you can't change your region and or carrier after that you change it. And also 1 thing, I don't know for sure if that works.

I hope this helps it's just a thing that I thought of that could maybe help

You should be able to do that with ThrottleLauncher. Cut and paste the Touchflo3d theme to get what you want.

Huh? You can literally do whatever you'd like wih WAD2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dr.Mazika:
this can be done by :

1.asking 2d manilla developer to allow to change any page content and give ability to add a plugin

2.then ask myhome developer to enable/disbale option for there menu .. that i remove by photoshop and put 2d menu

or

1.use WAD2 And ask it's coder to add a way to add 2d manila like menu

no need to flash boot_a and boot_b. just download magisk app, you can use the lenovo rescue and smart assistant to download the latest firmware, then you go to the path of the firmware where you'll find boot.img file. send it to your phone, make the magisk magic, send the patch again to the pc AND DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF IT, enter bootloader, fastboot flash boot (name of the magisk_pathed_file). fastboot reboot. its DONE.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iostrym:
hello,

i don't need it for a phone bu for a tablet that is used once per day or less, i would be awesome :

when I press power button of the tablet to make the screen off it would be great if :

- plane mode is activated in same time (no more wifi)

- all background application (mail,etc.) are disabled

As a workaround I could use the "low power" mode that disable all background application but this kind of mode always come with less performance and I don't want it. I want 100% of cpu and speed but when I don't use the tablet, I don't want a lot of app to run and kill my battery.

do you have an app or a setting for this ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonycollado:
This app forces the phone to go into doze mode in minutes instead of hours. Since android 6 came out they put the doze mode. The truth is that this works great, now my phone only spends 0.5 percent per hour when the screen is off.
