[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Monty Burns:
Hi Guys

wonder if anyone can help me? I've recently put on swiftblade 7 rom and to put it simply, its awesome however, for reasons I won't bore you with, I need to use my external GPS. So I paired up the devices fine, went into settings and pointed windows HARDWARE PORT to the BTGPS port and exited settings. I then go back into External GPS and its defaulted back to (none) again....

any ideas why it keeps defaulting and not changing? Its like its missing a "save" function or something ...

Operator: SwiftBL v7 full

Rom: 1.93.405.1 WWE

date: 09/21/2008

Radio: 1.00.25.05

Proto: 52.29.25.12h
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi Monty... if I am not mistaken, you need to set it to a Serial port for the external GPS to work.. Cheerz
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Monty Burns:
correct. Already done - com0 (although, I have tried others and no success)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Monty Burns:
HI Swift, not sure if you were investigating this issue. Wouldn't bother now as I'm the only one that seems to have complained about it and my diamonds just gone in the bin anyway (now using an Omnia, yes i can have music AND european maps for my satnav!).

Thanks for imo the best rom out there.

Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot, reboot your phone to fastboot if you can and then type "fastboot devices", if your phone is detected it should show then "fastboot continue", your phone should boot up to the version you had before
[Xposed Framework Development] ElJaviLuki:
Hi guys, I'm trying to hook the constructor of

okhttp3.OkHttpClient$Builder

in order to add an interceptor that converts any OkHttp call into a curl call and log it (see https://github.com/mrmike/Ok2Curl by MrMike). But I'm having problems with reflection, say I must haven't understood it pretty well...

The idea is to call

.addInterceptor(okhttp3.Interceptor)

method JUST after the

OkHttpClient$Builder

instance has been constructed, but it's more painful than expected. (See code and code comments for further details)

@Override
public void handleLoadPackage(XC_LoadPackage.LoadPackageParam lpparam) throws Throwable {
Class builderClass = XposedHelpers.findClassIfExists("okhttp3.OkHttpClient$Builder", lpparam.classLoader);
if(builderClass != null){
XposedBridge.hookAllConstructors(builderClass, new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
CurlInterceptor interceptor = new CurlInterceptor(new Loggable() {
@Override
public void log(String message) {
Log.v("Ok2Curl", message);
}
});

/*
Attempt nº1:
Cannot do it this way, it throws an exception because there's not (and there's actually not) a method
'okhttp3.OkHttpClient$Builder#addInterceptor(CurlInterceptor)' since CurlInterceptor is from the Ok2Curl library.

Maybe the '.callMethod()' cannot make implicit casting?
*/
Object attempt1 = XposedHelpers.callMethod(param.thisObject, "addInterceptor", interceptor);

/*
Attempt nº2:
Declaring explicitly the argument classes that addInterceptor(···) has, does not help.
I get an exception: it could not find an ".addInterceptor(java.lang.Class, ...CurlInterceptor)" method, so
this means Interceptor.class was taken as one of the method arguments and not as an argument type.
Anyways, given the results from attempt 1, it seems that .callMethod() will not do implicit casting whatsoever...
*/
Object attempt2 = XposedHelpers.callMethod(param.thisObject, "addInterceptor", Interceptor.class, interceptor);

/*
Attempt nº3:
Explicit casting from CurlInterceptor to okhttp3.Interceptor did not help...

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: okhttp3.OkHttpClient$Builder#addInterceptor(com.moczul.ok2curl.CurlInterceptor)#bestmatch
*/
Object attempt3 = XposedHelpers.callMethod(param.thisObject, "addInterceptor", (okhttp3.Interceptor) interceptor);
}
});
}
}

Thanks in advance!

Dear Community!

I hope I follow all forum rules, it's my first try.

I intend to buy an Samsung A 72 4g and would like to use the feature "Apps" (running apps in Windows 10 with "my phone"). Unfortunately, the A 72 is listed for the feature "Link to Windows" and the feature "Phone screen" but not for the feature "Apps".

Supported devices for Phone Link experiences - Microsoft Support

A list of devices supported with Link to Windows and other features in the Phone Link app.

support.microsoft.com

Is this a mistake, because even the previous model and other older models are mentioned in the list to support "Apps"?

Who owns a Samsung A 72 g and uses the "Apps" feature of "my phone" in Windows 10 and does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy A72] madseason.live:
I am using VYSOR premium (in free quality is limited).

It is full integration as you have your phone screen mirrored to the screen of your PC.

You can laso try https://www.dell.com/en-us/lp/dell-mobile-connect

there was tutorial somewhere in internet on how to trick your windows to think you have DELL hardware to make it work :)

I have the device and it does indeed support Apps on Windows 10, it makes a kind of miracast from the cell phone to the PC, meanwhile you can't use the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Nikola.L:
Hi, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to rooting devices (I've done it, but only with tutorials I can't do it on my own). Recently I got stuck with my device as I can't find a custom recovery for it.

My question is, is there a universal custom recovery for all smartphones or some kind of temporary custom recovery that can help me just to root my decide?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
To root a device's Android a Custom Recovery is NOT needed.
[General Questions and Answers] Nikola.L:
Thank you for replying, the metod without custom recovery requires me to have boot.img which i don't have because there is none online for my specific device.

I tried to Google my way around (extract the image from my own device) but that requires custom recovery
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is no such thing as a universal custom recovery that works with all devices. There is only custom recovery built for each specific device model number or custom recovery that is compatible with your specific CPU chipset.

Have you considered using Magisk to root your device?

First, you need to find out if your bootloader is locked or unlocked, if it is locked, you'll have to find a method to unlock the bootloader on your specific model number. If it is unlocked, you can use the Magisk method to root your device. You can't use TWRP or Magisk if your bootloader is locked.
[General Questions and Answers] Nikola.L:
I managed to unlock my bootloader, that part is done. The problem with magisk is that I need boot image for my device like I mentioned above and there is none online.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
To root device's Android Magisk - or whatever else 3rd-party tool - is NOT needed if Android version is 6 and up: one only have to replace the merged restricted Toybox by an unrestricted version ( e.g. 0.8.5 ) what comes with SU embedded.
[General Questions and Answers] Nikola.L:
I haven't heard of this metod before, do you have a guide for this or any directive?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm assuming that the restricted toybox that you are talking about is part of the system partition. The problem with this idea is that root is required BEFORE you can remove, replace or install anything to or from system partition.

I did a search for:

"Root android merge Toybox"

And I got absolutely no results of any kind discussing how to root android by this method. However, I did see discussions of doing what you mentioned AFTER the device had already been rooted prior to attempting to merge Toybox.

I'm not sure that you understand its usage properly. If that is the case, don't suggest things that you don't understand in depth.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Why do you troll me? That you lack imagination, I can't help that.

I have several phones' Android rooted the way mentioned above. Also someone in another thread some weeks ago has reported he/she successfully managed it, too.

All you need is a copy of unrestricted Toybox suitable to phone's Android, a working ADB connection and of course knowledge of ADB commands & Linux shell scripting.

FYI: Toybox is located either in /system or /vendor.

I will reconsider if I want to be active here at all ...
[General Questions and Answers] Nikola.L:
Can you provide me with download link for this program? Also any kind of pointers would be helpful if you have any. Thanks a lot!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I wasn't trolling, I looked into what you were talking about and I didn't find anything at all about how to use this to root a device, nothing about devices that have been rooted using this method and nothing about which devices it works on or doesn't which made me have doubts, so I questioned you about it.

How is this able to inject anything that isn't stock into system without already being rooted? In my experience, unlocking bootloader allows applying custom software but doesn't allow applying anything to a stock system without being rooted first. If it were that easy, there wouldn't be so many devices on this website that do not have working root methods. If what you say is true then this would work on all devices but it obviously does not. I'll grant that it may work on certain devices but not all. There are many devices since Marshmallow that have not found root by any method, no matter what has been tried. If it were that easy, this method would be more popular and more people would be using it and there would be many, many threads here describing how those users used this method to root this device. My thoughts are that this method must have some kind of limitations on what it works on what it doesnt, which would explain why this method isn't more known or more popular. I've been on this website for many years, including being a Recognized Contributor and a Forum Moderator, I know this website very well and I've seen many different rooting methods come and go, each time there is a breakthrough in rooting methods, that breakthrough immediately becomes more popular and used by everyone and I don't see this happening with the method you mention. I'm just saying there has to be more to this method than what you think.

What kinds of devices have you used this on?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
@Droidriven

that the method I mentioned is not popular probably has to do with people not knowing how Android works, people not really knowing what rooting means, people not being able to think EASILY, people not being willing to use ADB ( wrapped into a Windows command script ) or EDIFY ( wrapped into an updater-script ) but people always expecting an app they can click / touch around in.

BTW: I hate all those 3rd-party tools that promise to root Android, especially if they are not open-sourced, I can't see what the programs actually do.

The method I mentioned DOES NOT INJECT additional binaries but simply replaces an existing one - namely Toybox: Toybox is integral part of any Android version 6 and higher, it's independet of a device's brand / model.

As said above: This can get achieved by either a Windows command script utilizing ADB commands and a temporay root or an updater-script utilizing EDIFY commands. IMO using an updater-script ( stored in OTA file ) of course is the more elegant way, it even can get flashed via ADB Sideload method from within Stock Recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well that explains it, the method you are talking about uses temp ROOT, it is like I said from the beginning, root(whether temporary or permanent) is required in order to inject anything (and yes, this method DOES inject additional binaries, the su binaries, they weren't there to begin with so they are "additional binaries", they are just included with the replaced file). That part about temp root leads me to believe that may be a factor in some way that limits what devices the method will work on or not.

I've used a similar method to this to root an Intel Atom based device years ago.

I'll try this on a couple of devices that I have that haven't been rooted and see what happens, though I'm not expecting positive results considering the many different methods and tricks that I've learned over the years on them.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
To clarify things:

A temporary root is only required if ADB ( Windows command script ) is used.

FYI:

If using ADB ( Windows command script ) then temporary root ( read: matching SU binary, ~100 KB ) by serious programmers gets temporarily stored in /data/local/tmp what by default is mounted as RW on any Android and gets deleted if no longer used.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, I know what temp root is, I've used it myself by different methods. But, I also know that existing temp root solutions don't necessarily work on all devices, as all things android, YMMV, nothing is universally applicable to all android devices except for the fact that they all have a power button.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltby:
This is a really odd issue and it is a privacy concern. I have a Samsung Galaxy A51 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with Android 11, and I have noticed on both that the device location setting is spontaneously being re-enabled without my intervention on both devices. It happens under the following scenario:

-Location off

-Wifi on

-No apps other than system apps (which cannot be uninstalled and cannot have location permissions revoked) have location access permissions granted

-While device connects automatically to a different wifi network than device was most recently previously connected to (e.g. being connected to wifi at home, then automatically connecting to wifi when visiting family at their house) or when manually connecting to a different wifi network (e.g. when connecting to wifi at a hotel).

I also notice that not only does locations services get enabled, but that the location being accessed icon shows up too. Yet, when I look at the location access setting menu in settings, it shows that nothing has been accessing my location.

Does anybody know why this is happening? Is this issue limited to Samsung devices or all Android devices?

Find my phone is set to enabled from within settings, but this wouldn't be causing this, right?
