[LG V20 Questions & Answers] AShiningRay:
I'm kinda new here, so please excuse me if this is not the best place to ask and it should instead be posted in another section.

First, a bit of context: I recently bought a refurbished H910 to practice android development since it was fairly cheap, and after testing its features and unlocking the bootloader to install custom roms, i opted to start compiling a kernel of my own with some changes to begin involving myself with the development side of things. For now, i am using the Lineage OS 18.1 kernel sources on github as a base for the kernel, then after making sure that the kernel compiled, i flashed it into the phone and basically everything works with the only exception being the bluetooth, and maybe the IR Blaster, but that one is working just like the stock kernels on different Android 11 roms.

Now getting to the issue itself in more details... it boils down to the phone's bluetooth refusing to turn on while running that custom kernel of mine on any Android 11 ROM, be it Lighthouse, Superior OS Xcalibur or Lineage 18.1, the bluetooth tile gets stuck on the "Turning on..." icon animation for a while and then returns to the disabled state. Reverting to the stock kernels or even using other custom kernels like Lyb's or Gamma make the Bluetooth work again without needing a wipe, which tells me that the problem is definitely somewhere in my kernel. I could of course test it on some Android 10 ROMs, but the outcome will most likely be the same.

I even took some logcats via ADB Shell but they are kind of broad and mostly explain that the service had some problems with "com.android.bluetooth service has died: psvc PER", followed by a "scheduled restart of crashed service com.android.bluetooth...". Both of which never happen on those ROM's stock kernels, where the bluetooth works as expected. I looked around on Lyb/Gamma kernel sources on github, and there aren't any major differences to the defconfigs for example with the bluetooth driver configuration also being just about the same.

I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but as for the toolchains and compilers, i am using clang 11.0.2 383902b1 as the main compiler, gcc 4.9 as the ARM32 cross-compiler, and gcc from 4.9 up to 10.3 as the AARCH64 cross-compiler, all running on Manjaro. I also changed that combination dozens of times, but to no avail.

So am i missing something during the compilation process? With all those things i already checked, i keep getting a feeling that something really simple is going over my head. Also, i can post the link to my github repository here if needed, there's a branch made specifically to check the BT since it has only the changes made to assure that the kernel compiles.

Edit: The problem was solved!!! It actually comes down to using the exact toolchains provided by the lineage OS source tree for the device (that might be optional, but it's how i managed to get it working) and checking if everything has been installed correctly. It seems some files failed to download the last time i did a 'repo sync' on the source and that was what might have caused this.

Any apk fails with "App not installed". How to fix ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stpete111:
The Diamond is clearly a superior product to the Iphone (with the exception of the Iphone having more screen real estate). Everytime I turn around, my Iphone-toting colleagues have downloaded a new game from the App Store that uses the accelerometer (g-sensor), and they're really nice games with really nice graphics! I have to pretend not to be jealous of the selection they have at their disposal.

So with all the talent and dedicated WinMo people here, why do you guys think there are only 10+ games for the Diamond? Do you think the revenue that can be made through the Apple App Store is driving higher production for games? Maybe the Iphone is more of a "toy" to some folks and the Diamond is more of an enterprise tool? (Mine is both a toy AND an office tool!)

I love my Diamond... just wish there were some more cool games (like Super Monkey Ball :) ) that I could get for it!

And yes, if I had one shred of coding skill to my name, I'd start doing it myself... but I don't. :( The apps that have come out so far though for the Diamond are awesome. Keep 'em coming guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] surur:
I think there are a few things.

1) More iPhones sold - Must be around 10 million vs only maybe 2.5 million Diamonds.

2) The iPhone actually officially supports the G-Sensor, vs the Diamond's API not being officially released.

3) More excitement around the iPhone as a toy.

However, I am in contact with Winplay, and they have said:

Surur
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] steb0ne:
Yeah, what they said.

Plus, they had that open SDK project going for sometime before it was actually released and developers were smart enough to know, that anything Steve Jobs is excited about, will sale like hotcakes, thus the opportunity for ton's of money.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stpete111:
That's great news! Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lude219:
Marketing. Lots and lots of marketing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbju:
I have the diamond and my husband has the iphone. My very gadgety 6-year-old son loved the diamond when he first saw the teeter game. But then the iphone was brought home and even my not-so-keen 4-year-old daughter kept saying she wanted to play "cowabunga" (a very colorful free game from iphone). My son of course was hooked on the car racing game that we downloaded. So far, he just said once that the wallpaper on my diamond was pretty and he didn't play teeter anymore (probably it's not as colorful :o).

So conclusion, iphone is much more like a toy than the diamond.

BTW, a side issue. I noticed that iphone's power management is superb compared to diamond. Iphone can last over 2 days with wifi and bluetooth on ALL THE TIME and some games and moderate use. I can't keep my wifi on for my diamond for more than 2 hours.... as I know it can't even last for half day if I do so. And yes, bluetooth on iphone is only an icon on the screen without any use. I kept it on just to show to my husband that it's useless. It's undiscoverable, unpairable..... even its very dear brother Mac book can't make any use with it.

Yes, don't worry. I am still in love with my diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] surur:
If you want to win your kid over, here are a small collection of games on the diamond he may be interested in.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbju:
I still believe that diamond is a more powerful device but with respect to games.... I have to admit that diamond can't win over my kids. I am a bit embarrassed to show the kids those diamond "games", when they can touch and scare the fish in "Koi Pond", or having silly fun with bouncing and falling cows that moo, or driving BMW or Mercedez like crazy in LA street... Yeah yeah, I know unbelievable, but you have to see to admit (go to youtube and take a look at "Koi Pond", "Cowabunga", "Asphalt 4").
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mr.Sir:
Asphalt 4 for is available for Windows mobile too, so it should work on your diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ceevee369:
it is not only the Gsen - but for sure screen size and how you "hold" the phones.

I will never ever buy aniPhone, but I do believe it is easier to play Gsen games on it. Kids +6 can not be fooled :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BarateaU:
no wonder why, have you checked the beer apps on the diamond? I dont mean to offence anyone but its like running at 2fps. And compared to the iphone its cr@p.

Etc....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stpete111:
Asphalt 4 doesn't support VGA screens unfortunately.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stpete111:
I agree completely. Wish it looked more realistic like the Iphone one. But then again, it's not a make-or-break app for me. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lommer:
If you really like games ! use a psp or nintendo ds. I also have an iphone and

the diamond . Playing games on the iphone is pain in the ass :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] anubis23:
hi

Keep in mind also the Diamond is relatively new compared iSuck phones, the diamond just hit the US market a few weeks now so its like the word hasent gotten arround to dev about the Diamond as yet, which would relate to what ppl say about marketing, htc hasent really put the diamond in the US yet.

Also imo the iphone is eye candy and that all it will ever be, the diamond on the other hand is all round mostly for seriouse customers for business and what not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sergio PC:
Is this thread really going on???

What the hell is this?

I demand CLOSE.

Its so out of the element.

We all know the ifhone sucks ballzzzz.

And its not only the "functions" of the phone.

We are talking about you being represented by the kindo phone you choose.

I'm terribly sorry to say this but....

I dont like people that choose a fagphone as a first phone and actually go ahead and show it of!

-When ever a nerd shows of his fruitphne in y presence I just think "ya dude you and another billion of sheeps got the same no big deal"

On the other hand we as Diamond users took the dip because we rather have "bugs" (which I dont because WinMob works like a swiss watch) than fall in the pleasing of the crowds as rotten fruit likes!

Remember Felllassss Second best they are!

Sorry if i pizzz of some people but some one has to do it!

Greetings to all.

PS:Forgot:

1. I rather have less "estate" but a VGA screen. Not a dirty 320 by 480 or what ever it has.

2. What ever your "mates" downloaded from a insanely proprietary site has a high chance of being payed for.(obviosly not Jewels case) I like to call it open source.

3. The Diamond is been out for less than year. The ugly fruit is on its "second" gen (same crap).

4.I run a buissness on my own and manage t do a lot through the Diamond and WinMobs awsome connection capabilitys. (those fruitys cant even FTP Bluetooth!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] anubis23:
I'll put this in my own words middle of night and i cant get techinal.. "Apple = for beginners, Windows = Advanced users who like to have things run the way they want it too, when apple runs things their way, and u r stuck with it." >.>
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] groovdafied:
the iphone has been out for more then a year now with an SDK package for developers, plus a lot of marketing. The diamond is still a baby, and also not even released in US in full potential. With MS building a app repository service and the diamond + touch pro getting more user base, I have the very confidence that we'll be seeing a lot of applications utilizing the G sensor in either utilities or gaming. I mean the things that marvels us already are the g sensor alarm clocks, locking mechinisms and the full ability to use gsen to redraw the screen in any orientation, something the iphone cannot do.

All I can say is give it time, with now the hardware standards rising for windows mobile, you can totally bet that there's going to be pleanty of applications out there utilizing the new technology.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peterc10:
bbju,

don't forget the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] doinbox:
I hate it when people say the Diamond is for the business user. I don't use it for business i bought the phone coz it looked good and had some cool features.

What is everyones problem. As soon as somebody requests a game or app that the iphone has you all cry like babies saying fuk your gayphone and all that ****. I'm starting to get worried coz the "Gayphone" has games in nearly every category so looks like we're not gonna get left with many.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iRiKi:
when you start to use your phone for productivity, you'll stop making childish threads like this one !

now, who's man enough for an Unreal Tournament 1on1? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Addicteddddd:
one word: marketing.

the iphone was seen as a breakthrough and has the reputation of Apple after their extremely successful iPod products :(

Little do they know there's a phone much much better than the iPhone :P
[Google Pixel 5a] Ehikes:
Hey all,

I purchased my new 5a after seeing various headlines about how the Google Dialer would allow you to opt in to automatic call recording. That's incredibly helpful for my job, and a major reason why I've kept my OnePlus 6 for the past few years, but now the battery is barely getting through half the day.

It looks like Google is restricting auto calls to outside the US, which sucks because I live in a one-party consent state and always ask for permission to record.

Magisk could be the answer since it has a few modules for other Pixels to get auto call recording. However, do we know if we can apply the same method for Magisking the 5 to the 5a? I figure it may carry over because these two devices are so similar in specs and software, but I'd like to make sure before getting into the process.
[Google Pixel 5a] xatlasm:
Yes, you can. See screenshot of my rooted 5a. I have the JP version but there's no reason why it shouldn't work on the US version too.
[Google Pixel 5a] himom:
Go to Settings -> About Phone. At the bottom is your build number. Go to https://developers.google.com/android/images and download the image that matches your version, probably .007.

Extract boot.img from it and adb push it to /sdcard. Have magisk patch that and save it. adb pull that patched boot.img and make sure you have OEM Unlock enabled in Developer Options. After confirming that, reboot to fastboot and run 'fastboot flashing unlock'. This will likely wipe your phone. Once that's done, reboot back into fastboot and run 'fastboot flash boot <local path to patched boot.img>' Now you have magisk installed. You can also install LSPosed and XPrivacyLua if you want to tinker with that or the Universal SafetyNet Fix at: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases. Just download 1.2.0 and adb push it to your phone and have magisk install it.
[Google Pixel 5a] exile1ck:
So I actually did this a couple days ago with the universal safetynet fix. Ipassed safetynet on magisk but googlepay doesnt work. Does googlepay work for you?
[Google Pixel 5a] himom:
I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I have the card added but I've yet to pay with it. Maybe later today I'll give it a whirl.
[Google Pixel 5a] nsoult:
It doesn't look like there are valid device fingerprints for the 5a yet in MagiskHide Props Config, so I'm not sure how you're able to pass basic ctsProfile checks.

I've rooted and have installed the universal safetynet fix, but until there is a 5a fingerprint, I'm not sure how I can pass safetynet.
[Google Pixel 5a] exile1ck:
isnt the magiskhide project coming to an end though?
[Google Pixel 5a] bulletfodder:
yes. There will be another program that comes along. The main dev for Magisk got hired by google, so...
[Google Pixel 5a] Schroeder09:
I have a Pixel 2 XL. It's rooted on Android 10 still. I never even upgraded to Android 11 because by the time it came out I was already sick of dealing with the rooting updates. I don't care what anybody here says it's always a pain in the ass. It takes 3 to 4 hours to get everything set back up right after rooting. The time to back up everything before you start has to be considered. And when things go wrong you spend a whole weekend making them right. I don't have time for it anymore.

I most enjoy my EX kernels ability that allows me to sweep to sleep the display. I love this because it's handy and makes it so my screen off button (power button) is basically never used. It never fails this way. This means I never have to tear my phone apart to replace mechanical components.

I enjoy adaway. I enjoy YouTube vanced. I enjoy viper for Android. I enjoy substratum. I enjoy button mapper. I really, really enjoy Tulsa divers pixel launcher mods that allow me to make the buttons on the screen smaller to give me more screen real estate, but I think that hasn't been available since Android 11. You can no longer modify button icons from what I understand. I don't know if this is still true. I know there are rootless versions of substratum and the YouTube advanced, but when I last read about them years ago they were limited as compared to the root versions.

I leaned towards root being basically worthless, not worth the time, and more of a pain in the ass for a basic user who's not a developer. If I get the Pixel 5a or the Pixel 6 is rooting still worth it in 2021? Are there any rootless versions of the things I've mentioned here that would satisfy all my likes and needs I've mentioned here on Android 12 on a Pixel 5A or Pixel 6?
[Google Pixel 5a] nsoult:
in case anyone cares, magiskhide props config module was updated recently and I was able to use it to force basic attuestation, so my 5a is now passing safetynet checks.
[Google Pixel 5a] liberatorx3:
I cannot live without YouTube Vanced or Viper4Android, and I have found no alternative. Magisk rooting is pretty easy though, so I don't think it's that much of a hassle.

Wow holy you're right it is super recent, thanks for the update.
[Google Pixel 5a] DB126:
My portfolio of root 'enjoys' differs a bit by overall ROI sentiment around rooting is similar. I stopped after Pie and never looked back. Much of what previously required root can now be accomplished via other means. I do miss being master of my gizmos but there are bigger fish to fry in the world of worries.
[Google Pixel 5a] peikojose:
Adblock?
[Google Pixel 5a] Schroeder09:
This is a non-root version of AdAway I take it?
[Google Pixel 5a] liberatorx3:
Most "adblocking" programs are standalone, in the case of android, Adblock has its own browser. Some other browsers that do that are like Brave. However they obviously only work within the application, AdAway does hosts file level blocking so it works throughout the entire OS, so this worked really pleasantly for me from those stupid pop-up ads or the ones that take up quarter of the screen on some apps.
[Google Pixel 5a] Schroeder09:
I never realized brave blocked ads. It's the browser I use. I thought it just blocked third party tracking cookies or something that happen in the background. The ads I notice that are blocked are the broken link ads blocked by AdAway.

When i started rooting I got AdAway just because of the hype and mentions I saw all the time. I didn't see what the big deal was but figured since I was rooted I might as well get all the benefits for the hard work. I have bought in at this point. Going to some sites on my work phone is a real pain. The bombardment of ads is NUTS. Some sites are unusable. This isn't a problem on my rooted p2xl with AdAway.

My camera just failed though. When I replaced it and the battery a couple nights ago I cracked the screen. It isn't shattered beyond use or anything. In fact I don't think most would even notice unless I pointed it out. I still think I'm going to be going to the 5a or p6 pro based on the reviews that I start to see after a couple months' use for each of these two variants.

If someone could figure out a smooth way to do updates and stay rooted without having to hook up to a PC and spend 3 hours doing it id never think about leaving root. It's a PITA though.
[Google Pixel 5a] liberatorx3:
Do you root with Magisk? It's definitely a lot easier now. https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html

Doing updates and staying rooted was a PITA for me too, I ended up just never updating haha. In fact, my P2 is still running some old custom 9.1 version.
[Google Pixel 5a] Schroeder09:
Yes. I use magisk, and that's exactly what I did. I have yet to (never will on this phone anymore) update to android 11 because I KNEW such a big OS change would leave my phone broken for days. One of the big things I like on my phone is Tulsa divers modified button bar icons and making the bar a lot smaller, so it uses less screen real estate. When 11 came out I read that the icons couldn't be modified. Not sure if that's correct. It's been too long. Regardless, I just stopped updating because of the potential for a bad couple days, and even when things went well I never wanted to spend the 3-4 hrs to back the phone up and get everything just like it was before after booting back up into the new update.

It's easier to update and root now than it was when I had to download the update, open it, remove "-w" from the flashall.bat file, flash twrp, flash magisk, and then re-install all the modules or the ones that were messed up or inactive from the update?
[Google Pixel 5a] nsoult:
This is my process, ymmv:

I keep my os, etc stock. I run mostly the latest updates, however, there have been times I have skipped a few monthlies.

step 1: go to google's developers site to download the latest factory image.

step 2: unzip, extract boot.img, adb push it to my phone

step 3: edit either the .bat file or the .sh file depending on whether I'm using windows or wsl2, remove the -w

step 4: reboot into fastboot, execute .bat or .sh

step 5: reboot, open magisk, patch boot.img that I pushed in step 2, adb pull patched boot to computer

step 6: reboot into fastboot, run `fastboot flash boot [patched image file name]`, repeat command for boot_a or boot_b

step 7: reboot, verify in magisk that root is ok

pretty simple, I think, and only takes like 10 minutes of my time. I don't see it as burdensome, but I'm not sure how the future it going to look - the steps described above was my process for my old pixel 4xl, so with magisk's developer working for google now, I'm not sure this will continue to be as easy if I want to continue to keep safetynet checks working on my pixel 5a.
[Google Pixel 5a] Tulsadiver:
Are you talking about these navbar Icons? I converted them to vector files and they still work for me (i'm on Android 12-Pixel 4XL). I'm probably going to get one of the Pixel 6 phones. I was going to hold out until the punch hole camera went instead to "under the screen" but my Pixel 3XL died and I no longer have a backup phone.
