It actually does not increase your ram and is only used if you are out of ram, Considering the vast majority of phones have anywhere from 6GB - 12GB ram and the average user in all actuality uses no more than four, this is just a useless gimmick that will take up space on your sd card/internal storage and won't give you any performance boost whatsoever.

Back in the day, when phones only had 1-3GB ram, we would root our phones and use these swap files to help with opening files and running apps, but that isn't necessary in today's smartphone world.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xwonic:
I dont think so cause its only for snap 865 870 and 888 and all smartphone with these cpu have 6gb+
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
Its built in to all MIUI, but only benefits phones with four or less GB of ram. Let me ask you, your phone has 12GB or ram and the average user only uses 4GB ram, how is this going to benefit you in any way?

How Much RAM Does a Smartphone Need?

Every smartphone needs memory, but just how much RAM does a smartphone actually need to work properly?

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
You need to understand how it works. It merely creates a swap file on your internal storage and with the amount of ram flagship phones have (the Mi 11 Ultra has 12GB), it will never, ever be used, but it will take up space on your internal storage, that you could use for other more important things, like pictures, videos, music, games, etc...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Well definitely is not a feature for flagships,
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
Not a feature for any phone with greater than 4GB ram.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] savergad:
Hello brothers, i have a few questions for my P9 Lite VNS-L21

I wan to reflash my phone with fresh stock ROM. My exact model is VNS-L21C432B394, and i found a few sites with stock ROM for VNS-L21C432B394, but the links in the sites goes to taked down links for the stock ROM. And i cant find anywhere stock ROM VNS-L21C432B394. But i can find many other VNS-L21 stock rom.

1. Is it matter the letters and numbers after VNS-L21*********?

2. My is VNS-L21C432B394. Can i install other stock roms with different letters and numbers after VNS-L21*********? For example C432B151? Or any other?

3. Is it required unlocked bootloder to flash stock ROM?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
1. Cxxx is your device’s regional variant.This number is very important in determining the correct firmware to download. Ergo you can install C432 only .

2. You can install only FW for dual SIM phone. All firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual SIM (odd numbers are for single SIM).

3. Nope.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] slepax:
I have a Nokia 8 model TA-1052 (this is NB1, correct?). It has a locked bootloader and is running Android 9.

I understand the HMD service for unlocking the booloader is no longer available and the only option now is using a Hikari's website.

Before I try Hikari's method I want to make sure that fastboot is working (I understand it is required?).

With the phone connected, the command "adb devices" show the phone listed but any fastboot command seems to not being able to find the phone (e.g. "fastboot devices" returns nothing).

Am I missing anything?

Thank you.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] dt_matthews:
Assuming you are on Windows what does device manager show when you put the phone into fastboot mode?

Obviously you need a working driver for fastboot mode which is separate from the adb driver - how did you install the drivers and which ones did you use?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] slepax:
I don't have any specific Nokia drivers installed. The only USB driver showing (that seem to be related) is "ADB Interface".

I know that for some people the Nokia driver comes on the phone but mine isn't. Where can I get the driver from?

EDIT: in download mode the Win10 Device Manager shows an unknown "Android" device under other devices

People i have bad news..

After flashing a new Rom (testing 1700 SYS) my Tornado doesnt restart. i have tested everything (battery, new rom, spl) but nothing. I think it is bricked.

I have really liked my tornado, but i dont have money for buyin a new one. so i think that this is my last rom for this community.

:-(

THX for everything and good luck with your tornado

bye blackdragon
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Oh no!! Surely there must be *something* that can be done?? I thought the only sure way of killing the phone was to flash a bad SPL. Is that what you did? So let me get this straight.. there's no way for you to get in the bootloader mode? You said the phone didn't even turn on.. Wow. Now that's the definition of a brick! Its a mystery to me why software updating killed hardware/bootloading functions of the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) Questions & Answers] ra5849:
Hello,

I'm writing this post 'cause I'd like to know if it's a possibility to "unlock", if I can say this, my phone. My company installs on my phone VMware Hub and the Debug USB is locked because I cannot unlock the related menu. I've tried to format the phone from original recovery by wiping data and nothing changed. So, I've run my phone into bootloader in order to overwrite the original firmware with a new original one. The process is ok but when I restart my phone, VMware is installed and configured.

Now, a question, is it possible to remove it withouth root or debug USB? I'm so annoyed because it is possible to check everything I do in my phone.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Crypto Nikhil:
Hi, I have flashed custom roms many times on my old phone and also my nubia device. I have flashed android 9 custom roms many times and has worked flawlessly. But this time when i tried to flash the same zip which i had flashed many times, the system booted up, but no sensors were working. WiFi was not working, bluetooth, accelerometer, gyroscope and even flashlight. I kinda freaked out and reverted to the stock rom thinking something might have gone wrong in the custom rom zip. When I reverted, to my dissapointment, almost all sensors were still not working! I tried downgrading and upgrading twrp versions but still no luck. I researched about this and people say it might be due to a damaged persist partition. Hence, I tried to flash the persist.img of my stock rom and it still doesn't work. I noticed that there are persist.zip flashable files for mi devices which seems to work. Is there any similar persist.zip which I can flash on my nubia z11 mini s? Or is there any other solution?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it downloads the update clearing the system cache should purge I've been told but not tested it!

More than one way to skin a kat.

If you're rooted use one of the rooted apk blockers; I have very little knowledge in that area.

You can block the update app with ADB if you want.

Karma Firewall can be use to block the app itself from internet access, Karma uses almost no battery, freeware, an excellent apk. Can be set to run at bootKate.

Your carrier can also disable them on their end if it's a carrier phone.

I use Package Disabler on my 10+ to block the garbage. Use the none Samsung phone version.

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

www.packagedisabler.com

Updates break phones.

Rule #1 if your device is running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!

I'm still running on Pie. My current OS load is over a year old, still fast and stable in spite of heavy usage. Very low maintenance.

Security is generally just not an issue unless you do something stupid with Pie and above.

As course there is no saving dumb bunnies... even with the latest updates🤣
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] anth75:
do you know how i can block it in ADB?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I don't use it. There are tutorials here though.

There are a bunch of system managers for rooted phones that should lock it down.

This one does I think:

Autostarts - Apps on Google Play

Keep control over your phone: See what applications do behind your back.

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] anth75:
i will give it a shot. There's an option to block updates?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It lists all startups. Be careful it's a powerful apk on a rooted phone...
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] ninjasinabag:
In developer options is a toggle for automatic updates. Turn it off.

With that deactivated, it'll give you a notification prompt about new updates, but won't force the update like it usually does when you reboot your phone.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it's a carrier OTA update app that won't work.

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] ninjasinabag:
Yeah, they're an issue.

It's amazing they've been allowed to keep that app active.

But OP is talking about a TMobile device which uses the on system updater instead of some carrier crap thankfully.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah if you can flip it off in Developer options that is sweet.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
Google Services also pushes updates, and last night it managed to get through - usually it whines there is an update, and even if I let it, it crashes... figured no worries then.

[General Questions and Answers] saffron_jedi:
I am new to linux (as expected) and tried installing Kali NetHunter on my android device [One Plus 6]. I was successful in installing with Android 8 but my phone keeps bricking when attempted with Android 9/10. I referred to these instructions and followed these steps:

I am looking for help and also any explanations for my understanding of the process is also appreciated very much!

1) Start developer mode, enable oem unlocking and usb debugging, and restart in fastboot mode > then from Powershell: fastboot oem unlock

Phone gets wiped so again start developer mode, usb debugging.

2) Now I download the twrp .img and zip files, also the Magisk.apk from github then rename the apk to .zip (as instructed in their documentation). Finally move these files to the internal storage of the phone.

3) Restart phone in Fastboot mode > from Powershell: fastboot boot twrp-3.x.x-x-enchilada.img (version according to android 8 or 10 respectively)

4) Now that I am temporary booted into twrp I install the twrp .zip file from here and reboot into recovery mode (TWRP that was installed).

Now I flash install the Magisk.zip and reboot the OS > Install the magisk.apk that shows up.

Following the kali nethunter documentation linked above no extra steps are needed for android 8. So I just install the Nethunter zip from Magisk app (click the modules [puzzle piece] icon and select nethunter zip). This works perfectly!!! Ps: if i flash nethunter from TWRP it says successful but bricks the phone and doesn't reboot. Don't know why but if you do please let me know or hint what i should look into to understand better.

****[NEED HELP HERE]****

FOR ANDROID 10: The Kali documentation says for disabling encryption we need to first flash Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt Disabler. So I download the zip and move it to internal storage, from what I understand for my requirement I do not need to change anything in file naming. If I flash this zip using Magisk or TWRP the result is just a bricked phone that gets stuck on "The bootloader is unlocked" warning message.

If I skip this step then it bricks if I flash nethunter through TWRP and if I flash as a module using Magisk then it works fine.

According to nethunter documentation without the Universal DM-Verity, SSH capabilites should not work but on my phone it works just fine if I open the NetHunter app > Kali services > SSH (don't know an extensive way to test this or if any other functionality has been compromised without the ForceEncrypt Disabler). Am I understanding this part wrong? or in my case I do not need to flash Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt Disabler? This step is what confuses me and I have tried countless times via different ways over the past summer.

The Kernel is shows is 4.9.179-perf+ with Android 10.

The reason i wanted to update to Android 10 from 8 is because I am having compatibility issues with RTL8814AU and none of the drivers I find seem to work (Android 8 kernel is 4.9.65-perf+).

Thank you for your time to read and respond!

Buenas tardes,

Queria probar la carga inalámbrica y tenía por casa el Nillkin Magic Tag para mi Poco F3.

Al ponerlo a cargar con la base de carga de Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad o Mi 20W Wireless Charging Stand el teléfono no carga. La base, si que detecta como si estaba cargando (se enciende la luz) pero el teléfono no carga. He probado a alimentar las bases de cargas con varios adaptadores de diferente potencia, pero sigue igual. He probado con un Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro y con este, si que carga.

¿Alguien podria ayudarme a solucionarlo?

Good afternoon,

I wanted to try wireless charging and I had the Nillkin Magic Tag for my Poco F3 at home. When I put it to charge with the Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad or Mi 20W Wireless Charging Stand, the phone does not charge. The base, if it detects as if it was charging (the light turns on) but the phone does not charge. I have tried feeding the charging bases with various adapters of different wattage, but it remains the same. I have tested with a Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro and with this one, it does load. Could someone help me fix it?

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Without twrp, there's so much info about installing magisk, it's a bit much.

But, with lineage, it's quite easy. That's because lineage gives you the recovery image with ea new update. So just install the magisk apk, then use it to patch the recovery image file. Then flash that file to 'boot' and yer done.

Of course, when an 'update' occurs, there will be issues. Not sure yet what 'sequence' of things will be the least hassle, but because the latest recovery image is always available there should be a way that will be relatively easy.

cheers
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Regarding OTA Lineage updates. It seems at one point preserving Magisk was done through the magisk manager; install the update but don't reboot, go back to manager and 'flash to non active slot' etc etc.

I think currently though the way to preserve it is with an addon.d shell script, which is also the way things like Gapps are preserved. It seems though the only way to get that script (99-Magisk.sh) installed is to take the magisk manager apk, rename the extension to zip, and use lineage recovery to adb sideload it.

I already had magisk working, but didn't have the 'preserve during OTA' script, so decided to do the adb sideload hoping it wouldn't mess up anything. Sure enough, worked as hoped for.

So, to get Magisk *and* the needed script, seems the best way is to 'adb sideload' the apk (renamed to zip).

cheers
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
To finish this bit of info, I tried the most recent (08/03) update, even though I didn't need anything in it per se... it worked fine, exactly as you'd want. All settings preserved, magisk (and modules) and gapps preserved... exactly like it was, but with the lineage update.

You can also, during the update, indicate you want the new recovery included, which I did. Very awesome really, I love Lineage :)

cheers
