Thanks I'll try that tomorrow
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Droidview:
Hey, did my information help?
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Spazebar:
Unfortunately nothing has worked I just ended up with two bricked phones. Thankfully they were just supposed to be back up phones for somebody that is unlikely to need them and can afford buying another replacement if something ever actually does happen to his primary. He has a lot of accessibility issues in a really prefers having the the buttons on the back of the phone so he doesn't keep turning it off accidentally.
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Droidview:
If your android was stuck in recovery mode (as i know it), you could of just factory reset right?
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Spazebar:
forgive me it's been a couple of months since I bothered messing around with them but I believe it's not a generic recovery mode you know where you've got those four text options at the top you know and the Android with the exclamation point coming out of its chest but instead it's a firmware update mode. No amount of software tools or button key presses and we'll get the phones to do anything else. Both phones are dead right now cuz I just wanted to confirm what I was telling you whatever they managed to charge up later I will make sure what I'm saying is correct and I will let you know otherwise
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Droidview:
If this is the screen you see, then i regret to inform you that your phone might have been bricked the entire time and you couldn't save it (unless you get new firmware for you device and install it). Trust me i had this experience before.
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Spazebar:
This is what I get. I try running the the Verizon LG update utility on the computer and after it reaches 11% or something like that it fails

[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Droidview:
Welp, my last geuss at this is that the previous owner got something like a virus to prevent the firmware update to continue. i've only worked with lg phones a few times, but those phones where very old (2008) and did not run android
[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Spazebar:
Thanks for trying. I've given up and my friend didn't even get upset about it. Whatever went wrong happened when I tried to manually update them because the OTA kept failing. If he buys any more backups in the future I'll find him something a little more recent.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Toys Samurai:
I don't know what it's called, but it's not a bootloop. When I power up my Pixel, the Google logo will show up briefly, then the whole screen will go black,. There's no automatica rebooting back to the Google logo screen. It just go black and silence. I can boot into recovery. I can even wipe and flash the OTA image. Flashing the OTA image would finish without error with status 0. But when I reboot, same thing will happen. The bootloader wasn't unlocked. It doesn't appear to be a battery related problem as I could leave it on bootloader or recovery for hours.

I was tempting to install a third party ROM, but would like to see if anyone can tell me anything about this problem before doing so.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Sounds like the boot partition is corrupted.

Or the mobo is damaged.

Fortunately I never had to play with this, hopefully someone here can give you better guidance... be careful, don't hard brick it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aznbokchoy:
Same thing here after battery changed
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Possibly a defective battery. Same for OP.

Boot up requires a far amount of power, if not available it won't boot. Recovery uses far less power so that may still work.

Make sure the battery cable and connector pins are not damaged... and all connectors are properly seated with no damaged parts.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I assume you've tried with your phone plugged in?

Was OEM Unlocking ever enabled when it worked?

If the bootloader is locked, installing a custom ROM is not possible, and if OEM Unlocking wasn't enabled, the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aznbokchoy:
The person changed the battery said the old battery put back on and happens same thing as well. Before the phone can turn on but just not holding up when I unplugged. Prob like couple minutes then will turn off.

The person told me he's expecting motherboard failure. But phone can turn on, I can see the system with time but just immediately showed "powering off"

Does anyone know about if motherboard failure can boot system?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vma:
Hi,

I have a smartphone from Vodafone (VDA GPS). It features some customisations like the replacement os some default Windows Mobile icons in exchange of the Vodafone ones.

I.e. the Explorer icon is not the original one but the same as found on other Vodafone mobile phones.

I know that is just a detail, but I would get rid of those icons and get the original ones back.

Any idea how to do that? I own other WM6 mobile phones and I was wondering if I could like replace the executables or icons...

Next question: if I start messing with this stuff, will a Hardreset (invoked by software, huh) redo everything - am I on the safe side, or will I end up killing the flashed firmware? I'm asking, cause I did not find the firmware anywhere for download.

Next question: when I turn on the phone, I get the WM6 bootscreen. But after that, I will get a Vodafone animation. Is there a way to remove that?

So basically I would like to get rid of all the Vodafone crap...

...without permanently ruining the firmware stored in the flash.

Thanks,

vma
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vma:
Pushing this up... lol

And refrasing:

Is there a way to change the icons on the apps that are flashed with WM6?

How do I change, i.e. the icon of the Explorer?

Thanks,

Vitor
[Google Pixel 5a] mac62:
Just got my 5a and the camera app keeps crashing when attempting to access the main camera.

I've tried the following:

Close the app

Clear app cache and storage

Reboot Phone

Disable App, reboot Phone, and re-enable app

Factory Reset Phone

Restart in safe mode

None of these solve the problem. I've Installed the September OS update, have bootloader unlocked, but am not yet rooted. This has been occurring since the first time that I tuned the phone on, before unlocking the bootloader.

I even downloaded Open Camera to see if it is an app issue, or hardware. Believe it is hardware, as i don't even see the option to access the front camera (camera icon with circle arrow) while using the app.

Assume I'll have to RMA, but wanted to see if anyone here had similar problem first.
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
This is the first time I tried to use it, but I just verified that the google camera app can toggle to the front camera, and I see myself in the live preview.
[Google Pixel 5a] mac62:
Thanks for the help. All I can use is the selfie camera, if I try to switch to the main it crashes.
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
Ha, I should have also said that the app starts with the main camera by default and I've used that multiple times already. But the toggle and the other options to change field of view all seem to work normally for my 5a. The main camera has .6x 1x and 2x, the front camera has 1x and 1.4x
[Google Pixel 5a] mac62:
Thanks again. Pretty sure I have bad hardware.
[Google Pixel 5a] derausgewanderte:
yeah, last resort is factory reset, which you've done. If still a problem, then replacement. Unfortunately, you will get a refurbished phone. I just tried that because of something else. You can return the phone and ask for waiving the $30 restocking fee and place a new order of you want a brand new one. Not Okay move from Google in my opinion.

good luck
[Google Pixel 5a] mac62:
Contacted support and was told I would get a new phone since I was within 15 days of purchase. We'll see when it gets here...
[Google Pixel 5a] mac62:
New phone arrived today.
[Google Pixel 5a] derausgewanderte:
hope all is good now. Cheers
[Google Pixel 5a] undivide:
definitely not the kind of problem you want to see on a new device. could have been damaged by the fedex used for transportation. the packaging on my shipping was not very robust. just the phone inside the box, inside another box, with a piece of air bubble filler. I've had phones shipped from ebay sellers in better protection. I'm lucky mine arrived in good shape with no known defects in any hardware I've tried to use.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] benhall847:
This is the reason I buy V20s.

Nobody realizes the value of an extendable battery..

I don't want a battery bank,

I don't want the latest processor,

I don't want a picture perfect camera

I want a good phone w/ all the normal smart phone things you'd ever need

But most importantly - I want it to be available when I need it.

I need to use GPS for 12 hrs straight w/ the brightness on 100% and still have enough battery for a few more days?

No problem.

I need to look something up at a random time & location OH NO is my phone charged!?

No problem, its always charged.

My phones battery is at 15% and I wont be home for a few hours, I'm getting a low battery warning!

No problem, you still have an entire day of battery before you actually need to charge it.

These screenshots of 10 Day Battery life and estimated 12 Days is using a 3 year old extended battery...

Why is there no more extended battery phones available?

Why does nobody make an extended battery for say the Samsung Xcover Pro?

Makes no sense imo its the only feature I care about now.

Almost all modern phones are more than good enough and continue to focus on features that make next to no difference from last years phone..

I also use lineage OS 18.1 de-googled w/ microG

I found the degoogled version of lineage OS to be extremely battery effecient
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] QkTreasures:
They now have Lineage OS 20
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dextructor:
Yes the LineageOS for microG apparently it's catching up with the releases of LoS 20, and it's the cleanest way to have your phone updated without gapps. But remember that the schedule isn't always consistent.

If you or anyone dares to manually install microG you can follow my steps (it's not a guide, but isn't rocket science either.)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] owlen:
Gentlemen, (and ladies if any of you are hiding around here)

Whenever I flush my device I use PIM Backup and Sashimi to restore PIM data and install some of the apps I use. The thing I'm missing is a simple way to backup other device characteristics and features. These are many small things, like the order of the manila tabs, communication settings etc. They are all pretty simple to set manually, but since there are many of them it would be nice to find an automatic way to do them.

Below is a numbered list of things I would like to restore. If you have a good solution to anything on the list, please post it here. If you have other things you would like to backup, please add them as well.

1)	Tab order in TF3D [hint]

2)	List of apps included in the "Start" menu [solution - files]

3)	List of cities in the weather tab [solution - Reg entry]

4)	List of "Favorites" in the People tab [solution - file]

5)	Browser Bookmarks [solution - files]

6)	Internet Services Settings (e.g. The default access name is "uinternet" and I have to set it to "internet" manually) [possibe solution]

7)	Default ring tones

8)	Programs in the Program Launcher tab [solution - Reg entry]

9)	Email accounts (PIM backup fails to set up my IMAP accounts. I'm not even sure it suppose to) [hint]

I'm aware of apps that can be used change many settings, like "Diamond Advanced Config", or the "Diamond TF3D Config". If possible don't just pint to apps that can do something manually, but suggest how to script a solution that can make the changes automatically.

For the purpose of this thread please assume that Sashimi is installed and can be used, but if the solution calls for a script or a registry entry change, please include or quote the file that can be used with Sashimi.

This is my first post in this tremendously helpful, active and important site, so I would also like to say thanks to all of the contributors, chefs, admins, moderators etc. who are supporting this site.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
I'm sorry I can't give you working Mort scripts or .reg files etc. At least, not yet. But I'm searching for similar info and solutions, as I have the same need to automate installation after hard reset as much as I can. In general, for settings that are saved in the registry, you'll have to find out where the registry keys are saved, so you can export and import them using Sashimi.

1) I suggest asking sushilange, the creator of Diamond TF3D Config, or schaps, the creator of Advanced Config, how and where Manilla saves the TF3D tab order. If the registry is used, we can export the keys and import them using Sashimi. If the tabs are saved in one or more of the obscure Manilla files in \Windows, we can also save and restore them using Sashimi.

2) If I understand you correctly, just save and restore any shortcuts you like from \Windows\Start Menu with Sashimi.

3) You can try to add cities for your Manilla/ROM by setting up and running this application as part of your Sashimi setup. Or you can contact the creator, or the creator of the WeatherDatabaseEditor and find out which file(s) to backup and restore using Sashimi, after you're done editing your cities..

4) Don't know yet. Maybe sushilange, D-MAN666 or any of the other guys working on editing Manilla know how and where Manilla saves the TF3D contact favorites..

5) For Opera Mobile save and restore \Windows\Opera9\opera6.adr. For Pocket Internet Explorer save and restore \Windows\Favorites

6) Have a look at the provisioning functions in Makisu. I know the previous version of Makisu can setup e-mail accounts and maybe the new version can setup connections as well..

7) Don't know yet, probably somewhere in the registry

8) I suggest seacrhing or asking sushilange how and where Manilla saves the programs in the TF3D Programs tab. If the registry is used, we can export the keys and import them using Sashimi. If the tabs are saved in one or more of the obscure Manilla files in \Windows, we can also save and restore them using Sashimi.

9) Have a look at the provisioning functions in Makisu. You can't create your e-mail accounts with the backup applications I know..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] racerx_:
favorite people seems to be in the pim.vol file. You can copy that file to internal storage and restore is using total commander.. or spb backup restores the favorite people as well

programs in manilla are listed in the registry under this key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]

cities found under weather are in the registry here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

back it up and pop it in sashimi

good luck with the rest... its sad we have yet to see an all-in-one backup solution. Actually, i think it'd be great to see a manilla backup program developed for the issues you're raising.. tab order, people, programs, weather, etc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Addicteddddd:
im eagerly awaiting this, ROM updates are so annoying when there's no simple backup solution
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:
Please take a look before you post a thread in a certain section. This has nothing to do with ROM development...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] owlen:
Thanks for the hints, people. I'll start linking to them.

I'm still not sure how to contact the apps developers. If anyone can point them here that would be great.

mccune, I considered putting it elsewhere, but I think the issue of automating many small stuff like that is mostly common for people who flush ROMs. I believe that currently this thread is the one they read most often. If this thread will have some good solutions, or even better, lead to a development of a tool that can take care of all of this, I guess it could be placed anywhere and maybe the standard sticky tutorials would link to it.

If anyone has additional stuff he would like to restore – please post and I'll try to put it up in the list.

Mandragore & racerx_, thanks for the answers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kika.93:

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] nailui_nila:
Hi,

I own a Redmi Note 9 (MIUI 12.5.1.0 (RJOEUXM)) and I have a problem with the proximity sensor.

I can't tell if it's the same problem as everybody (due to MIUI) or it's due to some 50 cm fall on a wooden surface (phone inside original silicon cover).

My question is this:

How can I disable this sensor, if I don't have the option in the 'incoming calls' menu?

Is there another way? A key sequence or code or something?

Thanks for sharing info!

PS

Behavior of problem:

1. When phone ringing at incoming calls I don't get the full screen anymore. I have only the short version of incoming calls on the top of the screen.

2. When answering the phone, my screen goes dark and can't see anything, can't bring the light back on, double tap or main right button won't wake the screen up.

3. In the CIT tests, I get 0.0 reading on the sensor. Only in one position, with the front camera in full sun, I get 5.0

4. When the phone is locked, double tap on screen does only a quick flash to show the screen and then goes back dark.

Pocket mode is disabled.
[Realme GT] eXCepTIoNGER:
Hello from Germany! 🍻

(unfortauntly) I just bought a RealMe GT 5G in blue with 12GB/256GB from China (cect shop) for a very good price and awesome specs. (Those specs are not available for the global EU version, right?)

What I didnt know, was that the Chinese version (RMX2202) requires me to "register" myself and "verify my identity" to install an app from F-Droid and also other apps...

So I understand: Big brother must be watching and I don't like it.

I read the thread about removing the Chinese Apps

Bloatware list to disable for Realme GT Neo

and also all pages of this one (fantastic thread btw!)

Realme GT Convert China ROM to Global

On the last pages I've read that some of you are switching back to the CN ROM after flashing the global ROM, because a few things don't work in the global ROM. So I am not sure if I should do it..

Now the question:

Is there a way to use the CN Version without the RealMe verfiy thingi / big brother? Of course wait until we get linage for the device..

Sending it back to china and getting my money back might be difficult. I think about selling this phone and buy myself a EU Version with 8GB/128GB from the official Realme Shop. What's your opinion on this?

Looking forward to your help!

Cheers,

Daniel

Fun/Scary fact:

I ordered the phone from cect and after I've inserted my simcard, I received a whatsapp message from a chinese number +86 saying that they need a pickup from the airport in Berlin (capital city of Germany). Obviously just a message to see if its a real phone number.. I don't live in Berlin nor know somebody who has to get picked up from the airport in Berlin...very interesting.
