[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

You can find something for it to do... google repurposing old phones etc.

I have stock Samsung's only. They have a learning curve meaning they should be optimized before use. A model running on Android 9 or 10 would work nicely, disable firmware updates so it can't upgrade to 11 as that will break it. You want 256gb of internal memory, at least 6gb of ram and a SD card* slot is preferable.

If you use it for business consider getting 2 so you have a backup.

* all critical data goes here including everything you need for a complete reload.

Always backup critical data redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. At the very least use a OTG flashstick to back the data up. Verify the data is readable and all there.

Never encrypt backup drives! Put them in a safe or deposit box if you must.

Develope a backup plan or eventually you will lose data.

@_@ Thats a "lot" to take in. The information is straight forward enough, but when I feel like a monkey banging against an obelisk ... lol. I do get it, I promise. I'll have to figure out a plan. I just went and picked up an S7. Shame on me tho: I asked for 256gb and after halfway done setting it up (at home) it occurs to me its a 128gb. That WAS my bad. Not the sales rep. I should have been paying attention to price difference, but I got the protection pla, and had rewards points and there was a Sale, so the price balanced out, and ya. . . I have the attention span of a 2yo. But not gonna take it back. It runs very smooth and stores what I need/want. Work tablet anyway, so aside from nes/snes/genesis/n64 emus and Lemmings game from app store, won't be loading anything heavy (*head drift slowly up and to the right as I get lost in dreams of VR*) Plenty of free space. Just really really disappointed that the Device still have the Phone and Messages app even though Call & Text feature is disabled in the US. Anyway, Thank you!I really really appreciate the emphasis on backup. New to business, so have to keep in mind how important info is. Thank you again for everything!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It is a lot to take in.

It's a evolutionary process of learning and adapting... not all done at once.

Depending on your device and needs you will modify what I said to fit your goals.

If you load a lot of apps 256gb is probably better.

I don't like creating open box specials but do what you need to do...

You need at least 50gb of headroom after you're done loading everything.

You can get by with a lot less but personally I want at least 100gb of headroom after loading on the internal memory.

No such thing as too much... it comes in handy.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] varxtis:
Ooooooh ya, I am right there with ya on Open box stuff. There are very few things I trust open box, but phones and tablets are not among them. So, I have everything installed and I'm at 27% used on internal. So I feel pretty confident so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah, I buy new phones only and so far its worked out well.

Sounds like you have enough internal memory👍

Get a V30 rated SD card like the Sandisk extreme. These run well. Format it in the device before using.

A .5tb one goes for about $75.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] justinmg:
I have had a Hermes / Vario 2 on Tmobile for a few years, and moved to a touch pro in the last month.

Prevously I used to see a G symbol and a 3G symbol about 60% and 40% of the time respectively. I had spoken to TM and my account was HSDPA enabled even back then.

Now I see a G or an H about 80%/20%. I am on W&W and have been assured that HSDPA is enabled. I never see 3G.

Incidentally, i get about 30 kbits/s on G and 380 on H.

Has 3G been completely superseeded by H even though the coverage seems not to be as good?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alanplum:
Yes. Simple answer.

HSDPA cooks 3G.

Clue:

Wikipidia: HSDPA or UMTS
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhedgehog:
T-Mobile UK's 3G network is now 100% HSDPA. so yeah, you shouldn't see the 3G symbol unless you are on a call, and every other time, it should be the H.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrvanx:
With the raph if you have HSUPA (upstream) enabled then the network will always be in HSPA mode. It should switch back and forth between 3G and H only if you are only using HSDPA (downstream) since the raph would behave just as the hermes would when using the data connection.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhedgehog:
Not entirely sure on that, cos i don't have HSUPA enabled and i only ever see the 3G icon when i am downloading and on a call, so that both can continue.

My Athena worked in exactly the same way. H all the time while in 3G coverage, but dropped down to 3G when downloading and on a call so that both could continue.

Of course, I'm no network engineer so i could be wrong with the technical bits, but this is certainly how i have experienced T-Mobile wherever i have been down here on the south coast.

And t-mobile certainly did say a while ago that they were updating their entire 3G network to HSDPA back in late 2006/early 2007!!

[General Questions and Answers] Kalana@95:
Hi. I just installed Lineage OS 18.1 on my Mi A2. It is working fine for now and much appreciates the work done by the developers. However, I cannot open some banking apps now. Is there a way to fix this? I would be grateful if you could give an effective solution.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Banking / payment apps (at least some) are becoming increasingly capable of detecting bootloader unlocking, custom ROMs, and rooting, even with all Magisk cloacking/hiding measures...
[General Questions and Answers] Kalana@95:
Could you please let me know how to install Magisk on MI A2 Lineage os 18.1. Since I don't have TWRP now I cannot install Magisk. Also, I tried to extract the boot Img from payload.bin. in order to get the TWRP installed. I couldn't do that either.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Can't help you: Never used TWRP and / or Magisk - was never needed.
[General Questions and Answers] Kalana@95:
I extracted the boot.img from payload.bin and after patching it with magisk, I was able to install magisk. Thank you

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
Update: This Project is discontinued so It won't be updated by me other devs can continue it if they want to.

Another Update: The project is up!! I am starting the CM10 Source build for Galaxy Y

Hey! So recently I ported Cyanogenmod 10.1 to our device, I know I should have built it from sources but right now my laptop charger is gone and new one will arrive in some time so till then I can't sync repo so as I can't sync the repo I have ported the ROM insteas. I will start building from sources as soon as my new charger arrives!

NOOBS STAY OUT! THIS IS FOR DEVS WHO CAN HELP ME FIX BUGS FOR THIS ROM ONLY.

This ROM is still in early stages and is stuck on bootloops.

Download here

Boot Status: Bootloops

Status: Early Alpha

Current Project Status: Indev

Build No. #1

Build Type: Unofficial, Port

Build Date: Nov 12 2021

Port From: Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-s5570
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
bootloop can be from:

framework-res

some invalid resources
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
So you gonna fix em? Because I can't as my laptop is not working and without that I can't decompile the app
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
I dont think I can fix them but I can try it and send u a zip file and tell if it works
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
Good enough
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
Try to use Merruk Kernel with it

it might work

and did u got ur charger?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
Well Got it but this project is discontinued by me (forgot to update the thread, If you want to continue the development you can because my Galaxy y is dead :(
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
Project is Up again, starting to build from Source code
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
what device tree are you using?

we can use cm11.0's device tree for cm 10.1 too, chances for compiling is 50-50
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
the thing is I can't even get the repositories to sync right now, it fails at the repo init -u command. Maybe because these repositories are dead.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
Got any idea how to get repo to sync? or will I have to sync every repo manually?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
what error are you experiencing when typing in repo init -u <repo link> <branch#?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
on these:

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2

repo init -u git://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-10.2
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
try this:

repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2

git:// is deprecated

and androidarmv6/android has no cm-10.2 branch, so you'll have to use cyanogenmod sources
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
it does have a cm-10 branch its even used for The Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570) a device I had before SGY and is quite similar Never Mind I am triping. Also I am dumb i forgot about that git:// thing...

that's a good idea
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] LordDemecrius83:
Once there's a working build for this I'll start porting to duos,after I figure out how to stop build from failing on Arch(btw)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] LordDemecrius83:
Or incompatible ramdisk
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] cakra13:
ik this is out of topic, but is there a Cyanogenmod 10.1 Rom that Support Armv7 Arch? i need the apps tho
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Manav Harsana:
Yes their are many Armv7 cm10 builds out there for sure and as far as I know you can very much use armv6 cm10 apps on armv7 without any problems because these are universal arch apps if i am not wrong, so these would work on any arch
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] notnoelchannel:
since the processor is armv6, we can't add armv7 support. impossible.

but yes theres armv7 cm10.1 builds for example on galaxy s lineup from i9000-to s4 (iirc)
[Google Pixel 6] aurny:
My Pixel 6 hasn't arrived yet but hopefully soon. I'm getting the unlocked version and I'm a Verizon customer. My plan is to root the phone and stay on the Google builds. I don't plan to install the Verizon build. I don't want anything from Verizon except the SIM card (which I already have and plan to transfer from my previous phone).

I've heard some reports of this not working though, of intermittent or no connectivity from Verizon. Some people on other forums report that they need to go to a store for a SIM swap, or switch to eSIM, but even that only works for a while and then it drops again.

Does anyone here have more info? Is this expected to work or does Verizon have a way to force you to use their builds?
[Google Pixel 6] Tulsadiver:
I have the Google store version of the pro 6, on Verizon, and using Google build. I have on all of my Pixel phones.
[Google Pixel 6] TonikJDK:
First, they are not built by Verizon they are built by Google with different modem/network items for Verizon. That is the only difference, no extra apps or anything like that. As soon as you put a VZ SIM in it you will pull the My Verizon app no matter what firmware you are using. You can uninstall it. The updates all come from Google, not the carrier.

Go to the Google factory image download page and look at the Pixel 5 downloads. You will see in March of 2021 there was only one image for everything and it was that way for months. Then this fall they split apart. This is very common, Google splits them for awhile then merges them.

The VZ version will not lock your phone, add any bloatware or anything like that. But might give you a better signal.

What you want to do will work but isn't needed and probably not the best way to do it.
[Google Pixel 6] aurny:
Thanks... one concern is that I'm coming from a Samsung and on this phone, Verizon forces OTAs. You can delay when the update happens but only briefly. This is a VZW phone, not unlocked, but I figured the VZW firmware is pushing the updates.

Updating requires re-rooting so I'd prefer to do it on my schedule, not Verizon's. Do you know if this is going to be an issue with the Pixel?
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
One further thing Verizon puts on. Under "all apps" - show system - scroll down for the "my verizon services" app. You can't delete it you can only stop and disable it. It does get reenabled on some schedule, perhaps on the monthly updates, so every once in a while you need to redo the disable thing. What it does it allows Verizon to get into your phone and see all the apps you have installed and when you installed them. Also how long your system has been running, whether or not you factory reset etc. Very intrusive, imo, so I always disable it first thing and check it regularly.
[Google Pixel 6] TonikJDK:
Once you are rooted updates will fail to install, so there won't be any surprises.
[Google Pixel 6] aurny:
Hmm, are you sure about this? That would be fine, but in the root thread it says in big bold letters:

AUTOMATIC OTA WILL LOSE ROOT AND REQUIRE A WIPE TO ROOT AGAIN.

[Google Pixel 6] TotallyAnxious:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/qglwf3

These instructions worked perfectly to get esim working.

I'm using the Verizon firmware on the unlocked model. Wifi calling works and all.

I didn't get the QR code but the Reddit thread has a link for one on step 7. And my account was already CDMAless because of using a 1+ 7 Pro prior.

It took about 5-10 minutes after doing everything before I could make calls and send texts.

Idk if wifi calling works on unlocked firmware but it's enabled by a Verizon specific system app, com.verizon.mips.services

Edit. Idk why the link has a screenshot preview.
[Google Pixel 6] Sunsparc:
Mine didn't require any special provisioning. Running Google version of firmware. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, then inserted SIM from previous 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 6] aurny:
Awesome, @TotallyAnxious and @Sunsparc, thank you both.
[Google Pixel 6] Burt Squirtz:
Well I'm not quite an identical situation but I'm using visible. And from what I've seen from Sears, we encounter the exact same problems as it's the same parent company. It worked instantly out of the box as soon as I pop my SIM card in on my unlocked Pixel (Global) 6 Pro. No issues at all.

However, as you're probably well aware, test builds with other games don't work. Oxygen OS 12 beta 1/2 for example, would not work with visible or Verizon Even when I put in the correct commonly unknown APN settings (There's actually four of them).

i used boot.img extract from Pixel image file and patched it on my poco x3. I don't know why i can't do it on P6 but i got te pached file then copy it to P6. then followed up the link i provided above until i got to the flashing vbmeta, using a command from that link. After i got it then i fastboot boot magisk_patched then boot into my phone. After then go to Magisk Manager, at first i have no "Direct install" so i tried to flash it in fastboot mode again. then i hot it. once i turn on the phone, the direct install was thete then i used that method to permanently rooted. hope it helps.
[Google Pixel 6] Superguy:
Did you get the Verizon or unlocked version? If Verizon, how did you unlock the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 6] aurny:
I don't think you can unlock the bl on the Verizon hardware. But you CAN buy an unlocked phone and put the Verizon firmware on it.
[Google Pixel 6] Sunsparc:
Unlocked. I always buy unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6] Att.Fan1982:
I just recently paid of my Verizon Pixel 4 XL and called Verizon to see if they could unlock the bootloader. After about an hour and speaking with Tier 2 tech support, I was informed that the bootloader is locked forever and was recommended to buy directly from Google if you need to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
You could have come here and been told the same thing in under a minute and saved yourself the time and effort. It's common knowledge since Pixel 3. Hopefully your information will help someone else out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrElectrifyer:
Hi all,

Ever since Android 10 landed, I've been avoiding it as it stupidly took away the ability to use extremely versatile clipboard managers like Easy Copy. Instead of simply giving us a permission control for clipboard access, scroogle completely blocked access for every other app, pretending it's for privacy, meanwhile they're likely just avoiding their services being denied permission to user clipboards. /endRant

Does any clever dev out there know a way to bring back this major functionality of Clipboard Reading back to the platform with Android 10? Or simply grant an app like Easy Copy this permission via ADB?

I'd like to use the Hades ROM on my Note 8, but I simply can't stand losing access to an extremely handy app like Easy Copy; hands-down the most versatile clipboard manager on ANY platform (feel free to show me anything as versatile as it on ANY other platform)!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidFire:
Hey, If you're rooted with magisk there is a real simple solution to fix this issue on Android 10+. Download the 2 modules listed below in magisk or follow steps written below from the devs github links. After installing both these modules you'll have back 100% full functionality of Android's clipboard with 3rd party apps working again as they had previously on Android 9 and prior. Should work on nearly all Android 10+ ROMs. Enjoy...💩

Requirement :

Must be rooted with MAGISK installed.

1. Install Riru-Core

2. Install Riru-ClipboardWhitelist

3. Reboot

4. Open Clibpboard Whitelist app and add apps to Whitelist.

That you very VERY much for shearing this @DroidFire ! I was just about to clean install the Android 9 Deluxe ROM on my Note 8, but now that I'm aware of this fix to the annoying Android 10 issue, will certainly be giving Hades ROM a shot.

Will respond with an update once I get everything installed and re-configured. Thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidFire:
No problem, glad I could help. I was extremely irritated when google made the decision to go ahead with some the changes planned for android 10 knowing it would essentially cripple clipboard functionality, but luckily the dev who created the "Clipboard Whitelist" app came through with a fix. Looking forwared to hearing back with your update, hopefully all goes well and your no clipboard blues have gone away...!! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrElectrifyer:
This response is way overdue, but long story short, never got the chance to install Android 10 on my 2017 Note 8 due to extremely busy work schedule and family matters. Either way, got a Note 9 (nothing later has been a true upgrade to my Note 8) and began using it in 2023 when my Note 8 suddenly died on me after ~6 years of use.

Just came back here today to follow DroidFire's instructions to get EasyCopy (hands down still the most versatile clipboard manager I've EVER used) functioning on my rooted Note 9. As Riru Core has since been integrated into Magisk Zygisk, didn't need that separate module anymore. I simply downloaded the Zygisk Clipboard Whitelist v26 zip package from the Riru-ClipboardWhitelist Github releases page, installed it on my Note 9 using Magisk and rebooted. Then opened the newly installed "Clipboard" app and selected "Easy Copy", adding it to the Clipboard Whitelist, and vuala, Easy Copy is fully functional again on my Note 9 running Android 10. Thanks again @DroidFire!

I noticed that the old splash screen when flashing a new one still exists occupying about 100 pixels below the screen (where the OS, radio info shows at startup). This has been a problem in the Diamond and Raphael devices. On my stubborness and experimentation I've fixed it (without disregard of bricking it! I thank rotohammer for this!)

So, here you go! Tested working in Touch Pro and Diamond! (thanks to Sevennl for the first one testing it on Diamond :D)

patchsplash v0.1

- supports Raphael and Diamond Splash screen

Instructions:

- do the steps from on how to change your splash screen from here:

for Raphael : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2709600&postcount=1

for Diamond (item no. 3): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2465195&postcount=1

- BUT, before doing step no. 5 (converting .nb back to .nbh file) run patchsplash

- usage: patchsplash.exe [R/D] <target .nb file> <output .nb file>

example for Raphael: patchsplash.exe R Splash.nb Output.nb

example for Diamond: patchsplash.exe D Splash.nb Output.nb

- continue packing it to to .nbh

- FLASH and DONE!

Correct file size of the final .nb file to be converted to .nbh should be 655360.

Want to revert back to original splash screens? I've extracted T-Mobile/Vodafone/HTC original splash screen for Raphael.

A SIMPLE DONATION OF THANK YOU's IS APPRECIATED. And of course, I'm not liable if you brick your phone :p

AT&T Splash from navyguy (thanks!) can be found here!
