Nice! Now maybe someone can look into fixing that green tint.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ada12:
idk what issue your referering ( maybe thread green tint in oled

? ) here I have totally normal screen color
[Sony Xperia 10 III] pepijndevos:
So I have my bootloader unlocked, developer mode on, USB debugging on, LineageOS 18 GSI installed, and reboot into fastboot with `adb reboot fastboot` but

$ fastboot boot Download/magisk_patched-23000_BOvMB.img
Sending 'boot.img' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 3.595s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command boot')
fastboot: error: Command failed

What?? I also tried to go into bootloader, but similar result. Did I mess up the boot.img?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ada12:
For some reason bootloader no allow fastboot boot

Need : fastboot flash boot patchedboot.img
[Sony Xperia 10 III] pepijndevos:
Yea it's just really scary to flash a patched firmware, what if you did it wrong and it bricks your phone. But well in the end I did it and everything worked out.

One really weird error I get from Magisk is that it says it's in an abnormal state because there is a "su" command that doesn't belong to Magisk. I have no idea where that came from. Should I be concerned? Everything seems to work as far as rooting is concerned, but mysterious su commands could be a security concern maybe. I hope it's not a sketchy GSI or something hehe.

Anyway thanks for your guide. I have MicroG and F-droid working now, as well as ACC. One thing I'd clarify about your guide is that "going into fastboot" is... actual fastboot and not bootloader or recovery which you also use with the fastboot tool. Just a thing that's obvious when you know, but uncertain when you're doing it for the first time.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] pepijndevos:
Oh and another thing that was sliiiightly puzzling is that you actually have to copy the boot.img to your phone, patch it and then copy it back to your PC. Same thing, obvious when you know, kinda puzzling when it's your first time. For me it didn't show up in the file manager after patching so I had to copy it with adb, not sure what that was about.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Raubsau:
Did anyone notice negative effects after rooting?

Is the camera working fine?

Is Bluetooth working, the microphone and calling?

Is safetynet check passing?

My main goal is to have Adaway working in root mode and have stable Wireguard VPN connection (without battery saving methods killing the process every few minutes), I will try custom ROMs after I get the rest to run.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] pepijndevos:
Camera, bluetooth, microphone, calling, all working fine. No idea about safetynet haven't checked. As mentioned above, it does say I have an extra `su` that I don't know where it came from.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Raubsau:
Did you do any backup of the TA partition (if that is even neccessary)?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] pepijndevos:
I did not. Not even sure what the TA partition is haha

Of course backups are always a good idea when possible. It just seems a lot of the stuff out there assumes you have TWRP.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Raubsau:
Check this: https://xdaforums.com/t/does-rooting-sony-phone-still-lower-their-quality.4318171/

And more generally https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-android-pie-unlock-bootloader-drm-fix-camera/

I gather that the devices with Android 9 or above can safely be unlocked, but that does not necessarily mean everything works with root.

I just want to avoid rooting the device and realizing I need some DRM keys that I lost.

Please update us should any problems arise! (y)
[Sony Xperia 10 III] combinedfleet:
This is exactly the reason why I haven't rooted my device yet, too. If I understand it correctly, data in the TA partition is modified at the time the bootloader is unlocked, so if we were to create a backup, that would have to happen before unlocking.

The partition is only readable with root privileges, and rooting in general requires an unlocked bootloader. The only way forward is to wait until an exploit becomes available, allowing us to obtain a root shell with the bootloader still locked.

Hopefully it's possible to flash older firmware onto this phone, which would mean we can downgrade to an older Android security patch level if needed (i.e. the potential exploit gets patched by Google or a vendor) - does anyone here know if that's the case? When installing an OTA update, the UI says we won't be able to return to a previous version, but I suppose it's still possible to flash any of the official firmware packages at any point.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] TrulyPain:
Thanks.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] WaterMan!:
Is there any way to get OTA updates while rooted? That's what I loved about LOS. Maybe we'll get it on this device someday.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ZenRebel:
Thanks for this post. I have managed to unlock the bootloader which is great, but I am not sure how to -

STEP5 - go in fastboot and enter

:

fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img

Update: I have not rooted :)
[Sony Xperia 10 III] xperinaut:
Unfortunately many users report a WLAN issue with 62.0.A.3.163.

62.0.A.3.131 cannot be downloaded anymore, except the french (FR?) localized versions. Also, I managed to install 62.0.A.3.131 on a 10 III, but denied the update to the latest version to avoid the WiFi troubles.

The boot.img from 62.0.A.3.131 (FR) and 62.0.A.3.163 (EE) differ. I wonder if anything could go wrong with the newer boot.img.

To my understanding, the boot.img contains the kernel... So, I'd like to test it with "fastboot boot boot.img" before I risk flashing, but: "remote: 'unknown command'". :cautious:

Any suggestions on how to proceed from here?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] combinedfleet:
You can find earlier firmware versions, including "XQ-BT52_Customized EEA_62.0.A.3.131", here: https://xdaforums.com/t/stock-firmware-backups.4382229/
[Sony Xperia 10 III] xperinaut:
If you've managed to unlock your bootloader, that means you have already entered fastboot mode.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] xperinaut:
Man! Thank's a lot!

Any idea why the boot_X-FLASH-ALL-8A63.sin files differ slightly even if compared between markets (with the same version numbers)?

Seems kind of stupid. Even AOL has finally got around to updating their archaic AIM software for Windows Mobile.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
one can use the normal outlook on windows mobile to send and recieve mails from gmails though
[General Topics] trjons:
I do that. One thing I can't accomplish is deleting from the Gmail server by deleting off my device.
[General Topics] jinner:
you should be able to by "moving" the email to the gmail trash. If you just hit the delete soft key, it just archives it
[General Topics] trjons:
Are you saying in pocket outlook moving emails to the gmail deleted folder or in the java app?

Neither does server deletion for me.
[General Topics] jinner:
It works for me.

I "Move" the email into the "Gmail" - "Trash" folder and it goes into Gmail Trash.

Just checked it. It's not in my All Mail anymore
[General Topics] deedee:
Here's what i use

GMail IMAP connector. Not only does it synchronise deletions it synchronises read/unread as well. All you need to do is enable your GMail account for IMAP, not POP3.
[General Topics] trjons:
Interesting idea...does that install directly on to your device or your desktop?

Bump for an old thread but I don't like the IMAP method.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] CrozB:
Anyone else using Nova Launcher (7) and have lag when opening the fold to full screen? I have turned off all animations, but that just causes it to be blank during the home screen draw lag.

I've tried switching to OneUI, BUT I can't get myself to give up all the customization of Nova and go with stock However, the waiting for Nova to draw the home screen when opening the fold is a pain. 😔

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] finch0812:
I have noticed it as well
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Techvir:
I have a not noticed a lag.

Do you see it everytime you open?

Edit : I am wrong..I do notice the lag
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mickliq:
Yep, +1. Annoying but it's actually not limited to Nova. I just did a quick test with Lawnchair and it does the same thing. It seems like it relaunches the Home Launcher when the display is opened.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kcadrenalin:
I have Nova and notice zero lag. I hope you figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Acoustichayes:
Try clearing system cache as well as nova cache. That fixed it for me
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] CrozB:
Thanks for the idea. Didn't help me though.

Sometimes it's like Nova doesn't even try and I actually get the Samsung launcher until I manually hit the home bottom then Nova pops up. 🤔😔
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Techvir:
Is there a way to freeze the default samsung launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] casinca:
Having sometimes lag when swiping up from the bottom (i'm using gestures) to get out of apps. It often does some kind of "blink" lag.

When i googled Nova and z fold compatibility, i found disheartening results... as the developer said foldables are gimmicks for now and he's clearly not going to support foldables soon...

you can see both threads here :

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
i removed Nova launcher for the FOld3. had it more like 10 years. Oh well. Also NOva can't custom front screen and inside screen. have to be the same (didn't like it)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] casinca:
Just wanted to chime in that after investigations the blink lag happens for me when I swipe up out of apps to return to home and try to launch another app too quickly afterwards. After swipping up, I need to wait 1s before launching another app otherwise screen will blink.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bs3pro:
Nova fcking itself by not supporting the foldables. They were ahead of the times years ago, now just f'n everyone that stood behind them so many years.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] CrozB:
I got rid 1s have to wait before after hitting home then launching the next app by turning off animations. This doesnt help with the opening delay, but it does take care of the false redraw home screen that appears for 1 sec delaying the ability to launch the next program (fixed at least for me). Only issue for me now is a blank screen for 1-2 second when I open/unfold the device on the home screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Kronium11:
Are you all on Nova 7? Nova 6 is working perfectly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Etshooter:
I'm getting this same hang/lag with my pixel 5a on nova 7...

Tried reverting back to 6 and it's still doing it. Maybe I didn't notice before but I swear there is a hang after leaving an app that I have to wait in order to do anything further like open the drawer or use a gesture.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Kronium11:
Follows is the response I got today from the Nova Developer. Too bad. I told him about this thread and the lag issues in counter response...

The usage of foldable devices is still very miniscule compared to that of "normal" devices so it really isn't worth the development time or effort for us to try and make Nova fully compatible with the dual screens of foldable devices or dual screen devices.

There are so many things that have to be done for dual screen layouts such as thinking about how icons behave and look on both screens, how do widgets look and behave and so much more.

Currently, even after being around for a couple of years now, we feel it's just not worth it to spend the endless amounts of time that is needed to work on these devices, knowing that things will change repeatedly over the coming months or next couple of years.

Due to the costs involved in making these devices, the pricing isn't likely to drop significantly enough over the next couple of years to make these devices mainstream, which in turn means we simply won't be able to support them fully at this time or in the near future.

Nova will work. The only issue you'll have is you won't be able to have a separate layout for the front screen and the rear screen. Layouts will use the same layout, and might look slightly different due to screen resolution and DPI between the two screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bs3pro:
What a douche. Goodbye nova!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] casinca:
I'm still on 6

Honestly the layout doesn't bother me that much, what is annoying is the lag. I didn't have problem on my Mate 20 X but someone above mentioned having the same problem with a Pixel.

Not sure if the lag is because of the fold/samsung oneUI or unrelated.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] millab:
I've just gotten Nova working independently on both screens, but it took quite a lot of hacking to accomplish - Had to clone the app to get a second copy that could then be configured independently, and a tasker/bixby routines/autotools combination to detect and switch the launcher depending if the phone is folded or not.

Only complaint apart from the occasional slow switch to the other launcher is that the clone version of the app can't be validated for my pro purchase, so I've just got the front in free mode, with the inner screen running the pro version
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pepo36:
Can you please share how you did it? at least the clone part

So on August 30th, I bought 10 SamKEY credits from an Ebay vendor with 98% positive feedback and I managed to log in, but decided to change the CSC on September 1stView attachment 5399437

Today September 1st, to my surprise, I found that my account got blocked for no reason, I contacted SamKEY support and Ebay vendor but till this moment no reply, and I doubt that they will reply.

Its coder and product support of samkey and yes this is what he talk to his customers
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mojito0:
Well tbh this is not a matter of using the program or not. Samkey is the only way right now of changing csc you should just buy less credits enough for doing what you need to do. Get 3 credits for 10 euro change csc and don't think about it. I don't mind paying for 3 and using one, I changed csc for 10 euro, fair price.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingUnlock PR:
You can do it without credits and without computer also other program csc change is free :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
The all-caps suggests anger or frustration in your post. Also, the messages are cropped to just the bad part and not shown in full context.

As for them not reply, if you had someone selling fake product keys which resulted in "customers" that have not paid you for the product expecting hours of your time trying to resolve or explain keys sold by resellers are not legit it would take you away from supporting customers that have paid you for the product.

If I was buying keys I would go direct so I had the support available if I had to use a reseller I would confirm with the product owner that the reseller was legit.

If that chat was real in the image, who's to say the person was not trying to trick support and they had called them out. If I was dealing with someone trying to rip me off I would not be calm and polite.

Without the full context, you cannot truly know what is going on from 8 lines of text.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingUnlock PR:
Well your word speak that you dont know nothing about this job, as you see in my nick i was more 20 years of experience and know everything and each coder of each application and whatever i have more conversation from more people but nothing stop you from buy even in the same page can bought and same you always been blocked someday you will remember my words , you can search in google and google will reply you

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nogoogle:
I know it's impossible to know for sure, but do you anticipate that Lineage and other ROMS will continue to be developed for the PIxel 2 series over the next year or two? The ROM section of the board seems decently active right now. I'm considering buying a Pixel 2 XL, but don't want to buy it only to have development stop over the coming months. Definitely want Android 12 when it comes out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wodinotus:
if you seriously want 12 when it comes out FWIW, may be better to get Pixel 3 (which has dev/beta images IIRC) since custom dev only kicks off then when Google opens sourcecode. (FWIW Pixel3 also has multiple Lineage device maintainers.) OTOH if repartition, apparently can hack beta GSI onto Pixel 2, tho the tricky shimming/patching wasn't yet able to do calls last I read https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-android-s-beta-3-1-android-12-and-any-gsi-larger-than-2-6gb.4311135/ ).

I have a Xiaomi Mi A2 (jasmine_sprout) and I'm looking to replace it. However, I'm not looking for just hardware and brand. I'd like to have a device that have a strong community supporting it, offering official releases with active development for custom ROMS.

My Mi A2 was a good phone but has been tough to find official releases for custom ROMs. I think the only "mainstream" custom ROM I know that has official support is LineageOS - the others are all nightly-builds or unofficial releases.

Excluding Samsung devices, which ones have a descent active development community? That goes without saying but I'm looking for devices that don't have security crap (like Knox) and are highly customizable.

I haven't found any threads directly comparing the two... I'm tired of the boring today screen and even HTC Home. Which is better on the Wizard Manilla 2D or SPB Shell 2.1? I've tried Manilla and I really like it but it takes up a lot of resources and disables some apps I've come to rely on. (Battery Status, and Smartskey) I wanted to get some opinions before shelling (he he) out the greenbacks for SPB Shell.

What a stupid question!!!

Well don't I feel like an ass... Here you guys just got Manilla working on the Wizard and I'm asking which is better. I've seen threads for Manilla for a while now and never read any of them. I wasn't really interested in Manilla until I was browsing around and saw some of the skins. I thought I'd give it a try. Since I just went in last night and downloaded it and installed it with no problem, I assumed it has been working on Wizard for a while. In my defence I did search for a comparison but found none.
