Hi, Smithbill!

Yes to all, especially point 5: "if none of the above, pay for AdGuard". I am constantly travelling, and want an easy solution to work on all my devices, and since I'm dealing in crypto and other banking stuff, I'd rather not use a rooted phone.

Yes, AdGuard is VPN-based, and promises to stop phishing, etc. They also seem to have many servers in the world, and when I use their dedicated DNS:s browsing is fluent enough.

Thank's for your info!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarvil:
I've never seen an in-app ad while using the adguard DNS servers. I've been using them for over a year.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdvolland:
Thanks, but that is exactly what I meant when I complained about receiving garbage apps, when all I want is an ad-blocker THAT WORKS !!!

Btw I have been using a real VPN for over ten yerars...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdvolland:
Thank you.

But the point of my questions is your #3... Blokada does NOT work.

My mistake was, that I should have made it clear that I am not talking about internet, I am talking about the apps on the phone, which include installed ads.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithbill:
"Not all adverts are created equal"

There are different types of ads and I'm unclear as to which ones you are referring to - those contained in the Onkyo Flac Music player app? those that tend to appear on web pages? or as you say "not talking about internet, I am talking about the apps on the phone" by which I assume you mean intrusive OS/launcher ads 'foisted' upon the user by the likes of Amazon. The latter are indeed insidious and should (in my opinion) be stamped-out - in particular I object to Amazon charging an extra few £'s to sell consumers a device with the ads switched off. To be clear, it's unlikely Blokada can help you with these kind of ads (although I've not actually tested it), but there are other methods available.

Also, to be clear with the internet/browser based ads - Blokada DOES work at blocking these ads and it does it by clever & ingenious use of your phone's own ability to set up a VPN connection and using the VPN to literally filter out the URLs of the ad serving sites.

However, not all ads are served by 3rd party ad serving sites. Some are actually coded into the app itself. This might be the case with your Onkyo Flac Music Player. My own opinion is that these are objectionable & may even violate PlayStore policy depending on the nature of the ads. Building ads into the app in this way, I believe to be 'bloat' and much worse than what you described as "garbage apps" which have a tendency towards adding additional 'paid for' features which you don't need or want in the app.

Perhaps the reason you see your Onkyo Flac Music Player ad'less on old Androids using Blokada, but with ads on newer Android even with Blokada, is not because Blokada doesn't work any longer, but because the app developer moved from 3rd party served ads to in-app bloat ads purposely to frustrate those using apps like Blokada and AdAway to disrupt their revenues by blocking their ads.

For this reason, if I were you, I would consider dumping Onkyo Flac Music Player who think it's okay to bloat their app with ads unless you're prepared to pay them £7.99 for the 'Unlocker', and consider switching to other Flac capable players such as VLC.

I hope the above ramblings have helped to provide some options, but to be clear once again, Blokada does indeed work at blocking ads, but perhaps just not the particular ads you want rid of in the free version of Onkyo Flac Music Player.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdvolland:
Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer. Unless many others I ceratinly do not considerthis to be ramblings...

I basically use my phone only to be able to reached when needed, I mysealf make maybe one call a month.

I use it as translator, navigator, musicplayer, camera and very rarely the internet. I am a great and longtime friend of VLC, but found the android version a lot less satisfying.

I basically do everything on this desktop and usually stay off-line the rest of the day. And of course I stll use Win7 at least as they still deliver updates.... Do I need to mention that I am too busy with better things thanto be a gamer? :-)

If Blokada works perfectly on Android 5, but they are unwilling to update it to the same quality for newer Androids, why would I use it? I now KNOW, that adguard pro works, so it cannot be that complicated to write an update. The phone is off wifi most of the time, and has a no-mobile-data setting, yet adguard still works...

So, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. Quality answers like yours are rarity
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pucko1:
AdGuard is the best. I've been using them for six years now. Sure, you have to pay some, but often they sell life-long subscriptions at reduced rates.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pucko1:
Hi, Smithbill,

I agree with all your pieces of advice, since you obviously have tried out more solutions than I have.

Personally, I recommend AdGuard for people who don't have the time or knowledge to mess around with configurations. It's very much a "set and forget", but with a lot of settings to adjust, when you feel "happy and drunk".❤️

They sometimes sell "life-time subscriptions" for 4 devices, and that's how I got on the train. Watch for those...!

It actually WORKS, and can totally mute ALL trackers and ads, if you want that (maybe not...?), or also can be set up a little more "liberal" (which I like...).🤔
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starmania:
I use personalDNSfilter , as apps always accept vpn/proxy connection for ads, so a simple self proxy is enough for 99% of apps.

So if i want magisk i just need to sideload it's latest zip right via carbonrecovery?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MariusKv:
Yes
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] punit1708:
Glad to see this on op8p.which gapps version is suggested?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Myself5:
MindTheGapps is recommended, OpenGapps still seems to have unpredictable side-issues.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Imprezzion:
OOS camera or GCam default? And what kernel is it running and is it compatible with AOSP kernels for OP8P just in case?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Myself5:
Neither, default cam is Snap. Gcam Mods can be installed manually and work just fine. Kernel is based on the LineageOS Kernel, so whichever Custom Kernel is compatible with that, is compatible with Carbon as well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Philippe.47:
ROM is smooth and fast ! But my charging seems to be quite slow ,not getting warp charge .anybody getting similar problem?

Edit: restarting the device fixed my problem .Smooth ROM and bug free after 2 days of use .Not a lot of customisation but it has all the essentials that i need .
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Svid:
Is it possible to take the modifications from oos 11.0.7.7 and add them to the ROM? i'm asking about VoLTE and VoWifi since we got official support in this version.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MichalPlays:
Really amazing ROM but I recommend to update your phone to the latest OOS before flashing this ROM.

I faced issues with LTE connectivity since it seems like I never got anything better than 4g but after flashing OOS and reinstalling Carbon, I was getting 4g+ (also known as LTE-A) all the time instead of the slower 4g.

Does someone know which Kernel would give me the best battery life with this ROM?

I'm currently doing a part time job and I was getting like 5h of SOT (which is better than on OOS) but I would like to get something like 7h SOT even if it means that I would loose some performance (I don't game on my smartphone, so YOLO)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jarjarfinks:
Does Android Auto work on this ROM?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ps000000:
Nice weekly update. August, 25.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Kwikmaffs:
Good smooth ROM. Works well. I like that with the Carbon ROM fonts app,I don't have to root to get custom fonts. Rooting these days with banking apps is difficult. Thank you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] galaxys:
Liking this rom. kudos
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] StarCommand:
Anyone know if android auto or data works on verizon?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Myself5:
Verizon is reported to be fully working on all our devices, Android Auto works with the Android Emulator and a VW Discovery Pro (which is all I can test with) plus other systems reported as working from by users.

Android Auto however was always a little picky in the past, so if it doesn't work with your system please let me know and we'll do our best to fix it.

@jarjarfinks see above^

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] holofractal:
Any way you could add OOS cam? I'm interested in ditching Google, and I see your post mentioned microG, but I do love OOS cam.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Myself5:
OOS cam requires too many proprietary third party additions that it's out of discussion. There used to be a flashable zip for it somewhere around, maybe that could help you. Otherwise I' recommend using some GCam Mod.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jeppe2010:
Hi, I'm back on Carbon ROM for the first time since my Galaxy S4 mini.

So far it's been running great. Fingerprint works good and battery is great, only lost 1-2 percent over night 😎

I have a general question, not related to this ROM. I have some issues with location.

I installed the ROM, reboot to recovery then gapps. Will this make Google play services the location provider?

I have the location services in Google play services disabled (only GcmService runs, not the 30 other junk services).

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Pishtako:
presentation:

Hello, to all the experts in cell phones, I have read a lot your forum, solutions, and curiosities that you find programming.

problem in consultation:

I have a galaxy j3 2016 sm j320m and it presents the yellow screen problem, when (I have seen the same green screen problem in the Samsung S20) I put the original rom with odin again, I put another modified ro with twrp that they did in my country with nature theme of the S5 free d this link

but it continues with the yellow screen, the applications are navigated and after 5 seconds or 10 seconds the screen turns yellow, lowering the notification bar, as in the samsung s20 modifying the brightness to "outside" or changing to the minimum and Maximum, the screen is normalized, now I put a black background theme that solves it faster, but when it was with its original theme in green it took longer.

If you want I can upload a video of the problem to see if you can find a solution, I have read on the internet that there is already a patch for the S20 green screen.

thanks for your attention

Flash with Fastboot ROMinstaller, reboot recovery install mind the gapps, reboot recovery install Magisk 23.

Reboot, all is running fine !
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Myself5:
The install instructions include a step on how to install GApps (MindTheGapps recommended). There is no reason for us to release seperate builds for that, especially as the builtin updater as well as CarbonRecovery keep the GApps installed during updates.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] vnayrp:
Mine installed perfectly when using the rom installer method after extracting the images with the payload dumper. Try that method via fastboot. Also use the Basic NikGapps. That wont give errors while syncing your google accounts (if you desire to use gapps).

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] t-ryder:
I got Carbon on my Mi Pad 4 Plus, which would be a bummer without the great work of custom ROM devs like the Carbon crew.

Now I thought about giving my 8T Carbon too. Got some questions before doing so.

What camera is included in Carbon for the 8T? The original OnePlus camera?

Does Carbon on 8T have the dialer/SMS/contacts system apps like on the Mi Pad 4 - I mean the system apps from AOSP (?) or is it the bloated Google apps from Google Play?

Did anybody flash Carbon on 8T and is using another custom Kernel, if yes - which and how's it?

I guess flashing flame Gapps on this would be OK?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Myself5:
Camera: "Snap", the Opensource camera app from CAF (as known from Lineage or OmniROM)

Yes. All official builds only contain the opensource AOSP apps.

Can't answer that

Yes. See the install instructions on how to do that.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] t-ryder:
Thank you for the reply, Sir.

I guess then it's good to have gCam and Google photos to have a decent camera. Or is "snap" any good?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] shadowtuy:
Already getting annoyed with Oxegen OS with issues that seem to follow me from my 6T

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DoggChild:
Hi,

gotta problem with MMS.

I don't know is it Arc-MMS or ROM problem, but...

When i'm on EDGE (no 3G signal) i can't receive or send MMS.

After i'm back in "3g" area, MMS comes in/out just fine.

Please any "reg-check" or reinstall app that should help?

TNX !!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Should really be posted on the appropriate thread, but yes you are right, MMS is a 3G service hence only available when you are within the coverage area. CRC has released stable version ever since this release, but I don't see huge problems staying with this one other than the stable release has probably some performance tweaks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DoggChild:
Hi,

sorry for "bad posting".

Migrating to new stable release.

Although can anyone confirm in the latest release that MMS is working in EDGE area?

Tnx in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mengsuan:
I believe that the issue lies on your network operator. Certain network operator assigns a different APN for 3G users and you won't be able to access the EDGE APN when 3G is not available. Hence, you can only connect when you're back to the area with 3G coverage.
[Introductions] SatansMother:
First a bit about why I am here.

I have a specific problem with my phone - Moto G10 (which I will search for and perhaps make a post).

I hope I will also be able to help others but I have been very complacent with regard to how things work these days (I last had a good rummage around software a good 10 years ago) so may not be of much use.

Second I shall explain my user name SatansMother (tldnr - he was our cat).

Many years ago, we adopted a beautiful black cat around Halloween and were searching for an appropriate name. We didn't want anything too obvious and thought a Halloween themed name would be more appropriate. My daughter suggested Satan and it seemed so right. He was a gorgeous, loving cat who not only tolerated, but actually liked our rescue dog too! Then, I was signing up to a music forum and wanted a name that suggested my great age - so I wanted something with mum or mother to show I had children. That's when I realized that SatansMother was sufficiently rock and roll to fit into the music forum and so SatansMother was born!! (I know there should be an apostrophe in the name, but it was not allowed in the user name at that time.)

I look forward to seeing you on the boards :)
[Introductions] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA 🤗

My one cat is nicknamed Devilcat🤣

More what the other cats think though as he will charge then leap over them never touching them (or they him). They're like WTF?
[Introductions] SatansMother:
Haha! What are they like?! He sounds brilliant!

Our current cat, Genghis, I'm sure is part cat part elephant. We keep our bedroom window open all night and he comes in at very unsavoury hours and deliberately lands very heavily on my husband before landing very heavily on me! I think of the Thundercats theme tune every time he comes down the stairs. 🤣

Glad you liked the back story - you caught me in writing mode today. :)
[Introductions] blackhawk:
He's pretty funny. Fast and light on his feet. He'll run by and leave out a reowl.

The two other cats are brawlers but Devilcat never bites or scratches, but gets them with the quickness. He'll chase after bouncing superballs too.

He was abandoned as a very small kitten and he bonded to me. Those make for the coolest pets.
[Introductions] SatansMother:
Oh now I'm jealous! I bought our Genghis a couple of bouncy balls and he just watches them, then looks at me as if to say "why did you throw that away?"

:rolleyes:
[Introductions] blackhawk:
He's sort grown out of that but he would go after a dodge ball too. Ping pong balls were the rage for a bit.

Then insects. There are no mice here... now.

The one older cat, Lucy, who is jealous actually forgot her dignity with age and started emulating his toy behavior. Guess you can teach old cats new tricks. Now it's Lucy that plays with the toys... my disfunction cats.

This is my first thread of this kind, so bear with me if I'm not formatting it quite right.

I've run a test build of TWRP 3 for the Galaxy Tab S7 Wifi (T870) against a customized version of the kernel that shipped with the T870OXM2BUC6 firmware. At this point, this is completely untested, as I do not currently have my tablet in a state where I can test it (I'm working on this).
