[General Questions and Answers] francwalter:
Nothing was it. That old app "Hotspot Manager" does not work anymore, if I even get it as download from some strange sources.

I dont find any app to manage the Hotspot on an Android device like a real hotspot.

I could find the connected devices (IP, MAC) with:

ip neigh

but that was it, no managing possible.

It should be easy to write at least an app to block some devices and with root it really should be possible to get info about the traffic etc. and really manage the own hotspot.

Strange that this is so rarely needed.

More and more I use my phone (or my old phone) as Hotspot, using my 10 GB Traffic in month for other devices.

I would like to see a bit more than just that my traffic is now nearly consumed by some connected devices and so on.

Maybe I just didnt search well enough...

Has anyone updated to Android 12 and successfully rooted again with magisk? It seems from the Pixel 5 thread that there are problems with this..

I have removed root and restored stock boot + updated to Android 12. Have downloaded the factory image and am ready to patch + flash magisk patched boot, but I am reluctant to try after reading the Pixel 5 thread.

Worked for me too.

I'm starting to think that the 4a 5G and 5 (and presumably all newer models) have this restriction. Not sure why the 4a does not.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Skeetch79:
I have a Pixel 5 running official Android 12. I upgraded from a magisk rooted Android 11. When I flash the patched boot image in fastboot mode, restarting the device only takes me back to fastboot mode. The only way I can get past fastboot mode into Android 12 is to reflash the stock boot image.

Do I need to disable dmverity, etc.?

My phone starts downloading an app which is named 'Google Play' when I press it's dialogue for a second it shows 'Download Manager' as the app which is downloading it. But I don't have any download manager on my phone.

It seems fishy, something isn't right with the app, it's probably a malware. Please help!

yeah but why does it download google play daily? why would it need to download it daily? it's bizarre!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Scan with Malwarebytes.

If you can't find the root cause I would factory reset, if running on Pie or higher that will purge any malware from the system. Be careful then what you install/load/download!

It not worth the risk, malware needs to be dealt asap meaning the day it's noticed. It keeps more unwanted guests from potentially coming in and minimizes the damage. Reset all passwords after the reload.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiddharthOm:
I scan daily with malwarebytes though it shows 'no malware found'. Do you think it really is problematic, could it not be something else?

It's probably harmless. Google Play is the same as Playstore? Different branding I think.

Also, is it possible for it to be updated to Google Dialer in a future update ?

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
As an alternative/interim solution, if your goal with Lineage is to get get Google off from your device, the stock ROG 5 rom can be signature spoofed to run MicroG and optimized/debloated for an ultra lean setup for max performance & battery life. The stock rom also has a number of device specific features that you'd probably want to keep..

Sudoku is a Japanese puzzle game. It's based on numbers logical placement. The goal is to fill 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, row, and 3×3 section contain the numbers between 1 to 9. Some of the squares will be filled out at the beginning of the game. You have to complete the grid by filling in missing digits. The rules are:

1. Any row contains distinct numbers from 1 to 9, i.e more than one of the same number from 1 to 9 the row is not permitted

2. Any column should contain distinct numbers from 1 to 9, i.e more than one of the same number from 1 to 9 in the column is not permitted

3. Any 3×3 grid should contain distinct numbers from 1 to 9, i.e more than one of the same number from 1 to 9 in the grid is not permitted

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mfn003:
Hey, could you please share the sources used to build this? Maybe we can help?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
The problem I've detected for now is that prebuild kernel hasn't

CONFIG_DEVTMPFS = Y configure, and all the other kernels I've tried to build from different sources (T110, I8200, T230) doesn't boot and no one, stock, the ones I've build, etc. can't get output through UART serial interface (I've even tried to get output directly from UART testpoints on the mainboard).

If you want to try, download and flash boot-pmOS-manual-s1-n9.zip, this will replace the boot.img of the device with the one that contains initramfs from pmOS and stock zImage kernel. You can connect to this environment through telnet according to: Inspecting the initramfs . To make connection on Windows 10, I've used Ubuntu Console and from Device Manager I've set the Samsung_Android device to use driver Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.

You can also telnet from VirtualBox if you pass the USB to Linux environment.

As for SDCard, I've used xUbuntu on VirtualBox, which you can download from here to don't waste time installing it manually, then with pmbootstrap you can init it for example for I8200. It dosen't make a difference for now which similar device you use for init to create compatible SDCard OS, as they are similar to what I expect to run on T110.

E.g.

pmbootstrap init -> Device Samsung -> I8200 / lt023g -> ...
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sdb

You can see more in Installation guide .

Debugging: as far as I've tried, rc.log would not be written, because OpenRC fails due to that config. However, you can log all the things to dmesg (/var/log/dmesg on SDCard) with this guide. To do these edits, you can use pmbootstrap chroot before install to SDCard or edit the files on SDCard after installation.

SSH doesn't work as the OpenRC fails to load SSH server and also hwclock, I expect is due to that config.

So, the objective is to compile an working kernel for this tablet from source.

If you want to try what I've done, unpack the samsung-goyawifi-failed-attempts-#1.zip

to ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/testing/ and pmbootstrap init -> Samsung -> Goyawifi .. then fallow the build kernel from Porting to a new device starting with pmbootstrap build linux-samsung-goyawifi.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
Update: I've managed to build kernel from source with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS = Y and ssh seems to work, so I expect to get the OS booting.

How I've compiled the kernel: using android_goyawifi_ramdisk , and gcc-4.7 for ARM, gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabi, gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf, gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabi-base, gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base, gcc-4.7 and so on.

Please uninstall other versions of gcc.

To install this version of gcc to xUbuntu OS I've referred before you need to append this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb https://mirror.efect.ro/ubuntu/archive/ xenial main
deb https://mirror.efect.ro/ubuntu/archive/ xenial universe

* you might want to replace mirror to one close to your country

then sudo apt-get update

Run ./mkboot build

If you get errors, you might need to modify the Makefile parameters as:

CROSS_COMPILE ?= /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc-4.7

I'll attach updated zip in OP with boot.img for pmOS which contains kernel with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS = Y.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
Great news! Managed to get it to boot.

I've compiled the kernel with all the options asked by pmOS and it works!

Updated zip with boot.img on OP.

That's amazing to hear! Could we have a TWRP-flashable ZIP? :P
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
Yes, for sure, I'll make a zip or a backup when I finish the basic setup and try to get WiFi, Audio and some other basic functions to work.

However, I have good news. MATE seem to work smooth and is responsive.

Maybe I could get also Anbox to work in order to run some Android Apps. This would make the tablet usable again with newer software.

However, it's great that we can get a Linux that's works and is long-term updatable for this tablet, as the possibilities are infinite. If web browser works fine, this is a clear upgrade from deprecated 4.2 Android.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mfn003:
Hey! Have you tried installing the linux_firmware_mrvl package?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
Update: 🟩 WiFi is fully working!

Spoiler content hidden.

Yes. I only need to get the wpa_supplincant and DHCP to work.

The driver and Linux module loads correctly (if loaded after OS is booted).

samsung-goyawifi:/proc/mwlan/mlan0$ cat info
driver_name = "wlan"
driver_version = SD8777-14.66.33.p63-M3X14453-GPL-(FP66)
interface_name="mlan0"
bss_mode ="Managed"
media_state="Disconnected"
mac_address="56:09:89:13:54:99"

I should get the Wi-Fi to work, then Audio and maybe Bluetooth, Accelerometer, GPS.

The system is stable. I keep the tablet over-night without charger and it only discharged about 20%, which I think is fine for this battery age.

As you can see, the Wi-Fi scan is working, but not connecting:

* actually it connect to my Hotspot without password, but for a split second and then it disconnects.

Can you try pushing /system/etc/asound.conf from stock ROM to /etc/asound.conf?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
Yes. I've tried a lot of things. You can see in debugging folder pmos_console_audio_history.txt.

I manage to get some low volume noise running from file from stock ROM /system/bin/open_aud_path_fm_speaker.sh using /system/bin/amixer from mounted stock ROM to the pmOS, so I think we could manage to make audio to work somehow, but sadly it uses /system/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_codec.so from stock ROM which is property and can't get it to work on pmOS standalone, because it uses Android binders and functions and works only if I use the stock amixer.

Did you manage to load the OS to SDCard and boot it?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mfn003:
Ah, I'm not trying to boot into pmOS right now, I'm mostly concerned about the CM port :p Maybe we could port Treble and get GSI and pmOS working that way?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adryyy:
I don't think is possible, as we don't have access to proprietary blobs.

However, I've found that there is something called libhybris and halium which have could give us a door for future ports using proprietary binaries, but from what I've read on Sailfish OS Hardware Adaptation you also need to compile an working CM version in order to recompile some part of the Android ROM with hybris / halium implemented to make it possible for other OS-s to load them. Maybe we could port other Android versions this way, but who knows.

However, I don't think it's worth the hassle, as an used Nexus 7 it's under 50 bucks and that tablet it's a steal, as it still got Android 11 updates, Ubuntu Touch, Debian, pmOS with great support, so ..

This was a nice challenge, but I've spend already too much time to work on it alone.

The point of having working pmOS with working Anbox is that we could run newer Android apps inside it, like for Android 7+ and so on, but this require to get it work all together, including Audio and HW acceleration.

My Poco F1 suddenly bricked and I need help.

So I was watching anime (Kingdom by the way) and I did not notice I drained the battery, so midway on the episode my phone turned off.

I then charged it afterwards. After around 2 hours, I tried turning it on but it does not respond. No charging lights, no vibrations. Nothing.

I tried connecting it to a PC and it is not being detected. I tried going to recovery mode be pressing power and vol+ and nothing happens. I tried going to EDL by shorting the test points but nothing happens. it is not detected by the PC, nothing appears on device manager. I measured the voltage of the battery , it is at 4.005V which I assume is on the 85~100% charge.

Bootloader is unlocked, rooted, and using stock ROM. unfortunately, even with this I cannot even boot the phone.

Any ideas? This really suddenly happened.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
Can you confirm fliptwister whether or not the new update has solved the Gmail silent notification issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] crxssi:
I just got the update also- phone app and watch. When I launched the phone app, it said there was an update, which I did then. But the watch- nada. Was impatient, so I went into settings on the watch itself and checked for updates, and it said it was there and so I installed that too.

Honestly, having even MORE watch faces I don't want and can't remove from the watch is just more irritating. I really only want to have choices ON THE WATCH that I want. Why can't they put them in only the phone app?

Really, I just want a real Google Assistant app, an always working gboard, and a calendar tile.... still waiting....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
What's particularly weird about the Calendar tile is when you bring up the month view, you can even scroll through the months, but if you try to click on any given day in a month it just brings you back to today's date - but maybe that's something they will dix to give us a fully functional month view?

It does not as far as I can tell. I get the orange dot at left but no vibration.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] crxssi:
I probably should have specified I want a month calendar tile, like on the older watches. I keep forgetting there *IS* a calendar tile, it just doesn't show a calendar (month). What you described is the calendar app.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
Nope, the calendar tile shows the month - it's just not very functional, as I mentioned. Open the six-day view tile, click on the first day, and scroll up - there should be an icon to select the month on the top left.
