[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] akirainblack:
I can confirm

(1) use the wearables app to transfer the ringtone/notification in MP3 format to the watch.

(2) Then a file explorer to copy the ringtone to internal memory/ringtone and/or the notification to internal memory/notification

(3) Press and hold home button and select power off

(4) Press and hold home button to turn watch back on

(5) wait (even for a little after the watch has finished booting)

They then show up as a ringtone/notification but ONLY on the watch (Galaxy Watch 4 Classic), you can't make the change on the phone as it doesn't see them in the wearables app (or didn't for me anyway).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] al czervik:
What file explorer are you using on GW4? I cannot find one that works in Google Play Store. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] sesnut:
theres a notification and ringtone folder in the internal partition, but theres also a media folder where the default notifications and ringtones are stored in the root partition as well.

I dont know if you have write permission in the root area though.

I was looking for the hourly tone to see if it could be replaced, but i dont see it in the list of system sounds which it has for things like charge and touch. The watch ticking sound seems to be its own app also.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] akirainblack:
@sesnut you don't need to add them to the root partition, just the one mentioned in my post.

@al czervik I picked Wear File Manager as it was the first I came across with a rating above 4.

What's now annoying me is I can't specify an alarm tone it uses the ringing tone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] sesnut:
yea but if added to the root partition it will probably show up in the wearable app, assuming it doesnt use its own list and pulls it from the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] akirainblack:
@sesnut maybe, but that would most probably require root permissions...

I did just try and it would appear a symlink is created into that folder as when I tried to paste the ringtone into the ringtone folder in the device root it said the file already exists.. Despite it not showing.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] al czervik:
This method works. Thank you.

can confirm that sounds do not show up on phone
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] sesnut:
I noticed that the list on the phone is using alphabetical order and doesnt actually specifically list what ringtones are on the watch so whatever you named your ringtone it will take up that slot and play that tone when you select it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
meh, me im old school

i have 3 folders under my platform-tools folder (or any folder with adb.exe in it), named Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones, with the suitable files in the matching folders

and a batch file called pushtowatch.bat, with contents:

adb push Alarms /sdcard
adb push Notifications /sdcard
adb push Ringtones /sdcard

as im often resetting and/or testing stuff, i just

1) enable developer mode on Watch (im going to do this anyways)

2) enable ABD Debugging (Debug Over Wifi)

3) adb connect <ip> (using IP shown in above step)

4) run pushtowatch.bat

5) disable ABD Debugging (Debug Over Wifi) - otherwise battery drain

6) reboot Watch to update media index so files show in picker

everybody ought to know how to do simple things the manual way, i dont install apps to do things i can do without too much drama, of course you can add other files to stock folders in a similar way

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Re7r0re7r0:
Does it differ depending on manufacturing date or is it always the same? I'd assume it's probably different for global and eu versions for example.

Is it Android 11 straight out of the box or could I avoid updating it if it's android 10?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] spaha-bih:
Have you done any research before? F3 came with Android 11 out of the box, but the MIUI depends of the date when the F3 is manufactured.

Hello Guys & Gals

I'm a SEC student and i have a lab to do with these conditions.

1.Decompile an app

2.Add an AccessibiltyService to it

3.Check if the user has app1.example, app2.example

4.Use ViewTextChanged event like a keylogger to grab the named apps data.

My Solution was

1.I've done it via apktool, that was easy though.

2.First i've decompiled it to Java via Jadx and i've got tons of errors, then i thought it's better to create an AccessibiltyService outside that app, compile it to smali and inject it to the app, next.

[General Questions and Answers] YAMAY:
Hi there everyone, how would one go about checking what partitions are present on devices such as Huawei e3372h or e8372h and how to dump them using gnu/linux. I am OK with terminal/shell scripting, I've done some basic Arduino/Raspberry projects, but I want to get more into firmware (binwalk, repackaging, etc). Where would one start? What tools shall I look to familiarize myself with? I very much want to avoid using blobs like pre-compiled windows tools that are difficult to inspect. Is it possible to dump firmware (incl. boot partitions) using standard gnu/linux toolset (like dd) or at least tools that have source code available?

I have been looking for resources both here and on Russian/German fora, unfortunately most of posted solutions are based on Windows *.exe files and knowing a bit about Linux I am 100% sure that whatever these programs are doing is also possible to be done on Linux in a cleaner more transparent and reproducible manner (that is better for educating oneself).

Any hints much appreciated :)
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
If device's Android is rooted, if Android is version 6 and higher, then you can dd the partitions in question.
[General Questions and Answers] YAMAY:
Thank you for your response! Is there an Android running on USB modems/routers such as Huawei e8372h? I am looking to dump all partitions from such device and to be able to restore them before I start any modifications. This way I should be able to restore devices to their original "factory" state if anything goes sideways (except if I hard-brick them).

I have a number of e3372h(-153) and e8372h(-153) devices that I can experiment with (they have different versions of firmware on them and the very-very first thing I want to do is to extract all images (including boot partition if possible) and test if I can restore from these backups). Only then I want to start modding them or checking other people's modifications...

So far I have managed to switch modes of these devices. For example for e8372 I can have it on the host machine (Ubuntu GNU/Linux laptop) visible as

virtual CD-ROM (/dev/sr0)

hi-link device (accessible from 192.168.8.1)

3 x TTY device (one of which can execute AT commands)

emergency boot mode with one TTY device

With the last one i have executed

balong-usbdload -p /dev/ttyUSB0 usblsafe-8372.bin (following https://gist.github.com/ValdikSS/323bcdfceb2f09d9c6ef02db1bc573e2 and https://github.com/forth32/balong-usbdload.git)

expecting to gain telnet acces to device and possibly dump the remaining partitions to the microDS card (using nanddump) but for some reason I still cannot log in using telnet :(

BTW Using Windows based tools that I have no source code for is pointless for me as my main goal is to learn the structure and functioning of these devices and be able to modify them myself.

If successful I intend to publish these images and tutorialize my notes on how to backup/restore, but for now I need a direction myself :)

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] IR46:
Hi all,

I've recently bought a Philips Android TV 50PUS8545 and I am quite happy with.

I have a random issue with Popcorn Time for Android : the download slowly starts as usual and then after a few seconds during which the download speed is increasing, download stops, speed slowly decreases. Then sometime it restarts some seconds later and achieve some MB/s, sometime it stops completely and it never restarts.

What is really strange to me is that if a search for the same movie / quality / torrent on Popcorn Time on the Mac Book I never never get the same problem.

The problem is not related to VPN or no VPN, seems to be related to some torrents

any idea guys?

[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
Hi, bought the phone 2 days ago, because it's not with 888, it's not with curved display and has a ultra wide camera with AF and macro capabilities with raw support.

To my surprise, the quality of the raw file from the ultra wide is worse than from the periscope - there are some strange bright dots when you zoom in to 100%, which lead to overall bad quality of the ready image. I guess they are the phase focus pixels, but they shouldn't be visible without any heavy editing.

So, is it just me, or the problem is global, so I know how to proceed with this? I'm leaving a crop depicting the problem.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Qidamin:
Are you sure the ultra wide angle has AF? but yeah it looks weird...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
That's why I chose this phone, for the af of the ultra wide.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Qidamin:
I don't see it mentioned anywhere but as you have the phone you should know it better than me! ;)
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Qidamin:
You are right, the Edge 20 review on GSMArena mentions the AF for wide angle. A good thing, but it's strange that the ultra wide angle pictures seem a bit blurry then. Did you try with Gcam?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
Not yet.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
Tried gcam, same story...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] dannejanne:
Which Gcam version you use? Try enabling Sabre and see if it makes a difference.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
I tried the latest bsg, but removed it, cause the results weren't satisfactory or better than using the stock app as a real camera.

Hey did you manage to solve this issue? Any suggestions for the lackluster RAW outputs from the stock camera app??
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
The battle is legendary. Still no success defeating the defect. If it is a demozaicing problem, Motorola should fix it.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] sazinas:
THanks for the reply. I wonder how happy you are overall with the cameras? I've found that the front facing one is quite dark and has WB issues. In general the photos coming out of the stock camera seem riddled with artifacts and oversharpened.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] fire159:
Camera Is great as I see in reviews from owners and websites .
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
I don't even bother shooting in jpg, this is Motorola and they suck in camera performance and resolution logic.

But, I shoot raw, which is possible even with the selfie cam, and after a minute of editing I get sharp and impressive images, and that's why I bought it - the sensors itself are quite capable. If I find a solution to the problem with the ultrawide, the phone is a keeper...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] sazinas:
I actually own it. Reviews and (average) owners don't understand what we're talking about. Some offence.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] sazinas:
I hate the selfie cam and when video calling tho.... I look like a waterpainting and tanned

Learn to make your own jpg and you'll be able to see the dirt in your wrinkles on the selfies.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] fire159:
Have you try Google cam ?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
Answered already here. Jpg from phones and actual cameras suck. The raw from gcam is also worse than using the phone as a real camera. Here's an example, learn photography if you expect miracles from a tiny sensor...
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] sazinas:
Hasli's LMC Google camera mod seems to be working better with the wide angle cam (no artifacts)
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:

Hi, I tried the Nikita's NGcam version that works on my Motorola Edge 20 Pro, but doesn't seem to save images in 108 MP on the rear or 32 MP on the front camera. Is there any GCam port that allows me to do that?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
All of the gcam versions I tried show this defect, it's just a matter of how much. The stock cam is the only one not showing this (they probably tweaked something to specifically erase this). I played with the settings quite a bit and found no combination that removes these white dots. The best I could do is make them less prominent... Can you tell which settings you used to make them go away?
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] bo6o:
The stock camera is the one showing the defect the most(or the same) - I speak for raw files. Jpg from any camera is useless.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
Ok, I was commenting on jpegs. I don't use raw but appreciate a very good jpeg, which gcam usually could provide.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] Milica84:
On a forum for Edge 20 non pro, they mention the fix for this - in short, turn on luma noise reduction and luma noise parameters in settings (1.625 and 3.0 respectively). I use hasli cam and the fix was for bsg but indeed things are better with these settings. The details are a bit fuzzy but it is to be expected.

[General Questions and Answers] sturges:

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
My POV: All these so-called booster apps are worthless crap, are fake. Android OS itself is smart enough to handle phone's system resources as RAM / CPU at its best. Keep in mind: Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

BTW: SuperFreezZ has its own thread here on XDA:

https://xdaforums.com/t/superfreezz.3816388/
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I had to look up what "SuperFreezZ" (Freeze annoying apps) was so I might not be the best person to answer your question.

SuperFreezZ Freeze annoying apps, gitlab

SuperFreezZ App stopper, F-Droid

SuperFreezZ FOSS alternative to Greenify, XDA

Following your lead, when I installed SuperFreezZ on my non-rooted Android 11 A32 5G phone, I saw only the following "Google stuff":

Gboard

Google Pay

Google TV

But, as you noticed, Google Play wasn't an option.

However what I do is use the Aurora Store Google Playstore client app instead of the Google Play Playstore client app.

AuroraStore Open Source alternative for Google Play Store, gitlab

Aurora Store Google Playstore Client, F-Droid

Aurora Store open source Play Store client, XDA

Aurora Store Open-Source app, Auroraoss

I'm no expert but I believe the Aurora Store is simply a front-end to the Google Store Repository, which, if I am correct, means it COMPLETELY replaces the Google Play app for the purpose of obtaining Google Store Repository apps.

If that's the case, then once you have the Aurora Store installed, you can "Force stop" and/or "Disable" the "Google Play" app (at least that's what I did).

When you do that, the "Play Store" icon even disappears from your homescreen folders, which you can see in my screenshot below using the Activity "com.android.settings.$SecDisabledAppsActivity")

View attachment 5415085

And yet, you don't miss the Google Play Store Playstore client simply because the Aurora Store replacement Playstore client is not only exactly the same apps, but also it has a much better search and filtering interface than did the (now disabled) Google Play Store Playstore client.
