You know, just an observation of course, I used to be obsessed with my battery life. Like OCD obsessed. And I would do everything possible to get the absolute best battery life. Since my first Android really, which was over 10 years ago. Every phone I would root and obsess over this. What's weird, is that since getting the Pixel 6...I don't give a crap anymore! I even removed greenify and any battery monitoring app. Seriously do not care. Something switched on and I told myself that this doesn't even matter. When my phone is low, I plug it in. I don't mind waiting.

Just thought I would share this. Completely irrelevant to the topic, sorry. I do, however, still charge to full and drain to 0% on every rechargable device I own. I know it doesn't matter these days, but I believe it used to long ago. Now it's just a habit.

My understanding is that the Pro DOES drop to 10hz properly, but apps that read out the current rate aren't receiving the proper info from the system and display a higher rate currently. May be fixed w a sw update in the future

Man, I haven't heard that app name in years! Yeah, I remember those days of rooting, using custom ROMs and kernels to squeeze out as much battery life. I don't miss those days 😊.

you need raghu varma's partitioning tool because as he said it, his new roms won't work on the phone's partition and system capacities as they are.

increase the capacity according to his guide and this error won't come up ever again.

I had a profile triggered by %UIMODE when I connected to Android Auto. It was working fine on my S21 Ultra but it doesn't seem to work on the 6 Pro. Is it a Pixel, Android 12, or me issue?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TheStressMachine:
I have a Pixel 5 and it happened after the Android 12 upgrade, so it's probably that. I couldn't find a way to report a bug, tried the Google group but don't have permission to post.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] js042507:
I had the same issue. Been using uimode for my tasker profile forever. This obviously no longer works in Android 12. But after spending a bit of time, I found a workaround! Not pretty, and it requires a third party app, but hey it works. I have always had a start and exit task. When Android Auto runs, Bluetooth, location, etc enable. When I unplug, all of those things turn off. Of course, the trigger for this profile was uimode=car. Anyways, I was able to change the trigger to use autonotification instead. This tool must be purchased. It's from the autoapps developer. Replaced my trigger with a State (do not use Event, even if the app tells you otherwise) --> Plugins --> Autonotification --> Intercept. Then hit the configuration button. Scroll down to Apps. Then choose Android Auto. That's it. Works like a charm. I originally had the notification text in there, but changed to the app only. Important: the reason to use a State rather than an Event is due to the fact that tasker cannot have an exit task with an Event.

Hello,

since Titanium Backup which I used for years seems to not work anymore, I am now looking for any other possibilities to transfer my apps+app data and also some system settings like wifi passwords/APN data, BT connections and such.

With TB this was always well working for me.

What I have tried:

OAndBackupX -> I enabled "special backups" and tried to backup wifi, but sadly it just creates a new folder for the wifi backup (special.wifi.access.points) with a properties file. However the subfolder, where the backup should be present is empty.

So this solution doesn't seems to work, at least not on my phone with Android 8.

I also tried to do backups of some apps, however it looks a bit strange to backup an app that shows as 25mb and the base.apk which gets created for it is only 9mb (and no other file besides that, although everything was ticked for backup)

How is everyone here doing this when switching from one phone to another (especially for access point data and data of apps)?

Syncing wifi passwords to google cloud I somehow do not want (even if they're encrypted) and the issue with app+app data is still present then.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xray49er:
This was the biggest pain in the ass. I tried plugging my old phone into the new phone but my old phone died midway through so I basically just started fresh. it sucks I have been doing it all last night and this morning and haven't finished. I did use sms back up & restore to get my text messages other than that everything is fresh and annoying.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Annil:
No one else facing issues with backup/transfer? How is everyone transferring nowadays their appdata and access points and such? Really curious....

Got two phones here (Pixel 6 + Pro) waiting for transfers and I am still not sure how to accomplish completely...

Glad about any inputs!

A lot of people are recommending Swift Backup which is supposed to be the successor to Titanium Backup. I haven't tried it myself though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
If I understand correctly, Swift Backup also requires root to restore app data, network settings etc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fonix232:
The best backup/restore solution I found was Google One's built in. It just works (albeit not as well as, say, iOS, and definitely not up to the level of Swift/Titanium). Without root, sadly, you won't have many options as you're limited to the APIs Google provides, which themselves are limited. Swift works this around by "manually" backing up all the files/folders for every app.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Annil:
I do have google one, but sadly most apps I would require, get only backed up for the APK but not the data :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] voxmagna:
Is Titanium Backup now deprecated for latest Android? I have Android10 on a car head unit with a very customised oem Launcher. I managed to root it with universal root from here and Magisk (Thanks). Titanium shows me all the installed apps and bloat with sizes - great!. I want to make a backup of an App in the oem system folder before deleting it. I seem to be able to create a backup on mnt/sdcard, but I can't delete the oem app?

I have 2 system folders, System\ and system (root). They appear mirrors of each other and if I go to system(root) /oem/app/*My bloat app, I can delete it with FX root file browser. But not if I go to folders inside System\. Is this something to do with how Magisk roots and can restore to non root by creating a mirror folder? I used TB to make a backup of this bloat app and it worked. But after deleting the app successfully with a file browser the TB backup folder was empty - is this normal? With one pre-installed (Russian!) nav app I didn't need or trust, I recovered 4.5Gb of memory with more oem apps to look at.

For now I can use TB to locate bloat apps I want to remove with a file browser but I really wanted to back them up first and delete from within the app. Is TB trying to delete from system\ where access seems denied, rather than system(root) where I can delete files with a root explorer? Any help appreciated - Thanks

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] voxmagna:
Thanks, I was guessing that from the age of posts in this thread. I started off thinking I wanted a full Nandroid backup but that requires a customised TWRP partition and AFIK this car head unit with its OE launcher doesn't seem to follow the partition structure I'm used to in phones. It has 3 external USBs and I can't get it to do anything with adb and a pc connected. The USBs are only active towards the end of boot. However, their factory image and unversal root seems to get picked up with the same 'Upgrade' screen messages from the folder Isec_updatesh. I don't know what I'd do if I bricked it, although I have found the OE Boot.img file packed in their update folders.

Thanks for the link to bloat removal. Nandroid backup creates a full rom image whereas most other backup apps seem to only backup apks and not system files. Android car head units are heavily customised with many added hardware based peripherals so a full backup is important to me. Adb might offer a solution, but as I said, even in developer mode I can't get the USBs to talk to a pc which I assume is because there isn't the usual recovery mode, unless it's on button press combos I haven't found yet? There is a recovery to factory reset, but it's an option in their launcher so I'm guessing it's not in the usual Android recovery partition?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] voxmagna:
OK I took a quick look at ADB AppControl. First I need to establish an ADB link from PC and I'm struggling with that. Second it does what some other non-root apps do which is to hide the bloatware and stop them running when my objective is to take the 16Gb+ memory they filled from 32Gb and recover memory by deleting bloatware and apps I don't need. There's a tendency now to sell these Chinese car head units with all the GAPPS and many more pre-installed. Unfortunely, most require a mobile network connection to function. I'm not interested in their Satnav, Google maps, Facebook or other social media apps they threw in. The one thing going for me now is I'm running AFwall+ which is the best reason for rooting a Chinese sourced device to stop data leaks to them or Google.

As I ran their factory 'update' I could see all these apps getting installed. If I was clever enough to understand how the Android 10 install 'Manifest' (my words) worked, I would prefer to edit out entries for OE apps in their installer, if it was possible?

Every time I connect my SSD/ Flash Drive to my OnePlus 8T, I see anywhere between 12 to 15 folders added to the connected device. These are mostly empty and get created in every partition on the connected device. I will list them here:

1. Alarms

2. Android

3. Audiobooks

4. DCIM

5. Documents

6. Download

7. Movies

8. Music

9. Notifications

10. Pictures

11. Podcasts

12. Ringtones

13. System Volume Information

14. LOST.DIR

View attachment 5444297

Earlier, it would only be one or two folders from Android, LOST.DIR & System Volume Information. But now it is almost 15!

This is extremely annoying, and especially since they get created in every single partition.

1. Is there a way to block empty folder creation?

2. Is there a way to make the connected device READ ONLY? Please don't recommend buying one with a physical switch.

Thanks.

[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] mrkarim:
Hi all, just received and updated the 11.1.6.6 via OTA... but after reboot I'm locked on the two white dots around the one red icons, and the phone doesn't start anymore.. so it's NOT a bootloop, but just blocked situation..

I'm rooted... what can I do to exit from this situation as well? :(

Just tried with VOL UP + POWER combo, but this casue only a power off, or a new reboot, but the situation doesn't change and the screen still stuck on the dots animation..

EDIT:

Had to resolve with a full wipe factory reset, no other way.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Klappp:
There was another way. You could've downloaded the latest update package onto your PC, used PayloadDumper to extract the payload.bin file found inside the zip file, extracted Android's 'Platform tools' into the output folder of the payload dump and then ran these commands without wiping while your phone is connected in fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash modem modem.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

fastboot reboot fastboot

fastboot flash abl abl.img

fastboot flash aop aop.img

fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img

fastboot flash cmnlib cmnlib.img

fastboot flash cmnlib64 cmnlib64.img

fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.img

fastboot flash dsp dsp.img

fastboot flash featenabler featenabler.img

fastboot flash hyp hyp.img

fastboot flash imagefv imagefv.img

fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.img

fastboot flash logo logo.img

fastboot flash mdm_oem_stanvbk mdm_oem_stanvbk.img

fastboot flash multiimgoem multiimgoem.img

fastboot flash odm odm.img

fastboot flash opproduct opproduct.img

fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img

fastboot flash spunvm spunvm.img

fastboot flash storsec storsec.img

fastboot flash tz tz.img

fastboot flash uefisecapp uefisecapp.img

fastboot flash xbl xbl.img

fastboot flash xbl_config xbl_config.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash product product.img

fastboot reboot

You'd lose root but your phone would be updated to the latest OS and your data would hold.

You can then follow the root guide to patch the boot.img extracted from the payload file and let magisk do its thing.

Hi All,

A quick question about installation, my phone (OnePlus 9 Pro) is being replaced tomorrow as my current one has a faulty SIM slot.

When I got to re-install Magisk will it only pull the latest release and thus I loose Magisk Hide? If so is there any way round this? or do I have a misunderstanding of how Magisk deals with hiding now?

Many thanks,

R.

Well.

If I am not wrong when you install Magisk you can find it's apk in Downloads.

I can't get it into recovery, download or fastboot mode. It seems like a full brick. I can't even power off the device. Only Volume up, Volume down and Power button let's the device reboot but then the same boot problems appear. Is there anything i can do to recover my phone?

Text of first screen when booting up:

"The phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's software integrity can't be verified. Andy data on this phone may be vulnerable to attackers. Don't store any important or sensitive information on this phone". Press power key to continue"

Text of second screen when booting up:

"The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security and you won't be able to install software updates"

How does MagiskHide hide the bootloader status? I'm trying to find a way to replicate the same method with the latest canary release which has Zygisk instead of MagiskHide. Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Didgeridoohan:
It just changed a few props, all of which are integrated into MagiskHide Props Config (the "Edit MagiskHide props" option) and/or Universal SafetyNet Fix (which soon should be updated to work on Magisk build 23010+).
[General Questions and Answers] eksprestren:
I just changed those props, it still fails attestation. It might be something different though, will check further. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Didgeridoohan:
With Magisk Canary 23010 you'll also have to add the Play Services processes manually to the Deny list (gms and unstable). If you haven't done that, do so and try again. Could also be that you'll need to fool keystore to use basic attestation, but for those you'll have to use USNF v1.2.0 until the next release, since Riru doesn't play well with Zygisk.

Yeah, Riru apparently was the problem as when I removed Riru and downgraded Universal SafetyNet Fix ctsProfile now passes. Thanks for the aid!

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Well, they advertise their phone being super secure with some fancy security firms giving them big industrial thumbs up, that doesn't really work with a cheap 2D knockoff-faceunlock being available. Because of that - I believe - they will never add what people here want, at least not with the P6.

Our best hope are developers that might find some old leftover faceunlock data hidden in the files. At least concerning the leaked marketing material, we know Google at least thought of having faceunlock+fingerprint available - or it was just a mockup about Android 12 in general and it only had the Pixel 6 stock photo as background, and later on they decided NOT to use it, exactly because people might misunderstand that "muh, looks like Pixel 6, must have feature you show!!! mighty LAWSUIT incomin'!".
