[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 痴呆儿童欢乐多:
How can I restrict an app to NOT be able to access a specific folder ( not in /Android) ?

A messaging app always scans my internal storage and makes its image picker almost unusable because another app is storing many image assets in plain image format, and these images pop up to the top of the image picker.

I want to hide these from my proper album photos while using the image picker so I want to not allow the messaging app to access a specific folder. Is there a way to do this via adb or in an app?

A quick google search didn't have much luck, maybe I searched the wrong phrases? I guess it's the latter, but please give me some guidance.

Android 9, not rooted, no bl unlock
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Go to the folder you want to hide and rename it with a period in front of the name to make it a hidden folder. Example: ".Pictures"

Set photo app to ignore hidden files.

Or ditch the trouble app...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 痴呆儿童欢乐多:
Though the app which actually makes use of the folder won't work.. I could've made a toggle to add/remove the dot in the folder name and just use that toggle between using image picker and said app.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
I originally was able to put GrapheneOS using their site's instruction and web based system. I was having lot of issues with it though, like I could not get group texting to work properly then found an app that supports it but I kept receiving old texts that were already sent to me before so kept trying to find a text app that works and was having no luck. Then I went to make a phone call and realized it was not even letting me do a phone call, it would just drop as soon as it tries to dial.

So I gave up with that and tried to load Lineage, following these instructions:

Install LineageOS on bramble | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

Though maybe one thing I SHOULD have done that I didn't, is I did not bother putting in stock android back on, I just went straight to the steps for Lineage. I unsecured boot loader, enabled USB debug and all that too, then proceeded to load the recovery image. This is where things started to go south. After it was done loading, if I tried to boot into recovery, it did not do it. If I do try to boot into recovery I see the Google logo for a bit then it just goes back to fastboot. I also tried different ways to load it such as --slot all etc.

Now it's just doing the google logo, and then goes to the screen that warns about image being unsecure, then back to google logo and just doing that recursivly. If I try to hold down power button and any volume button (up or down) it will interrupt it and give me option to pause it, but that's it.

I put it in the freezer for now to see if it kills the battery faster as maybe it will stop doing this once the battery dies and it can actually shut down... but I am open to any other options.

Did I brick it? I have a feeling I got myself a $700 paperweight. I presume there must be a way to remove the storage chip and put a new one in or something right? Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Ginger Squirrel:
Ended up getting it going, letting it die completely so the loop stops let me get into fastboot mode again. It was quite painstaking but I eventually managed to get CalyxOS on it. I could not get Lineage because the recovery partition step of the install always failed, CalyxOS uses a different way to get the rom on that does not use that step.

I got an i-Wireless HTC 4300 (Wizard) with the original settings of:

IPL 2.28.0001

SPL 2.28.0001

OS 2.28.18.1

GSM 02.25.11

WM 5.1.195

I had successfully flashed a 2.71.11 radio rom and upgraded to WM 6.1 but for some unknown reason I still felt the need to tinker. I tried installing an official t-mobile rom to the device and I am currently looking at a phone with an

IPL. 2.21.0001

SPL. 2.21.Olip

GSM 2.71.11

OS 3.8.2.1

Is there any hope for my phone, or am I going to have to tell my wife I just blew $300 bucks?

Please tell me there's hope... :o
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] SirG.Mobile:
Thankfully, I figured this out.

I was still able to get to the bootloader screen, but no further and I read on another post somewhere (sorry I don't remember where) on this site that if you can get to the boot loader it's possible to use the RUU update utility to flash a new rom.

So I flashed the wizard love rom, brought my phone back from the coma and allowed me to update to other roms. I'm currently testing the TNT Professional. I might try the vanilla version even though it errors out on installation.

...boy am I glad that worked! :D

Haven't seen so good battery life in other Rom (MIUI based or AOSP).

The pre-installed ANX Camera is also perfect, but with the OFFICIAL Lineage wee have to forget for some custom OS extensions and tweaks ... ;(
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] NahKinn:
Good rom but last time I tried, it had no signature spoofing (for microG) and no f2fs sd card support. Shame
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
Do you think official LineageOS will have signature spoofing? In your dream. F2FS in sdcard? You're kidding right?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] NahKinn:
Official Lineage OS doesn't support signature spoofing, you are right.

But this ROM isn't official is it? And as long as it has face unlock, ANX, three fingers swipe screenshot and all the goodies we love, it ain't getting close to official. Right? Might as well have signature spoofing as a +1 goodie.

And yes I was just kidding for f2fs in sd card... Hope you had a good laugh mate ;)

(no i wasn't...)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
Yea, I know being unofficial unchained everything that are restrained in the official guidelines. Maybe next build he will consider to add spoofing.

As for F2FS, I don't know whether the kernel will support it as well, you might want to check other kernel. I do use F2FS for /data, but not for other partitions, or even a sd card.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] NahKinn:
What format is you sd card?

Hi,

I rooted my device HTC one X9 dual sim by Supersu with custom recovery TWRP.

I want to change it to magisk and i got an error code 1 in TWRP while flashing it.

As i searched on XDA forums, i found that flashing with boot.img from stock ROM will fix the issue.

But HTC is not providing Stock ROM on their dev page.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!!!
[General Topics] BHD@RN:
it is very simple

just tell me which version of supersu you have installed

[Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+] rustyx3:
I did this and I almost bricked the phone.

I had v12.5.4.0.RKKEUVF (Vodafone) ROM on the phone, but couldn't find it for download, so I grabbed the v12.5.4.0.RKKEUXM (unbranded) firmware.

After flashing boot.img from it, the touchscreen and battery indicator stopped working (don't know what else stopped working because I couldn't even unlock it to see). I had to use flash_all.bat to flash the entire phone to recover.

So make sure to use the exact ROM version that your phone is running when rooting.

Also the command is "fastboot flash boot_ab", not simply "boot" - see flash_all.bat.

Not sure if it's true or not. Samsung can be a squirrelly lot...

Some are saying it's Android 11 not supporting it anymore. Security, so secure nothing works right.

I never used it, but you got me curious.

Now you know why I got second N10+... not at all happy with the latest Samsung devices or Android 11🤮🤮🤢
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] KOLIOSIS:
I found this, a site that has all the devices compatible with ANT+, not sure how current it is :

Directory - THIS IS ANT

ANT is a Wireless Personal Network protocol, by Garmin Canada, with small size, reasonable cost and very low power requirements.

www.thisisant.com

There's also an app in the Google Play Store to detect it on a device:

ANTtester - Apps on Google Play

Test your device for ANT+™ capabilities

play.google.com

There's various official ANT apps in the store as well, not sure if they will provide the functionality you're looking for.

@senergy

I know nada about ANT, your post piqued my interest.......

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] KOLIOSIS:
@senergy

Does the USB ANT+ stick need to be plugged in to your phone at all times to achieve the connectivity you're looking for?

Also, is there a mfg's app that needs to be installed (ex:FitBit app)?

Just curious,as all my wireless accessories only need Bluetooth for functionality. I'd heard of ANT+, but, never had the necessity for it.

THX.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] senergy:
Yes the USB Stick needs to be plugged in for connectivity.

I have lots of equipment that uses ANT+, Heart Rate strap. Bicycle Lights, Bicycle Power Pedals, wheel pressure.. etc..

Depending on what your trying to do you need the apps.

My particular use case is I use Zwift on the phone connected to my indoor trainer or treadmil and wanted the HR monitor.

I got it working now, but without HDMI output it's kinda half arsed.. so back to the S9+ in the gym.

why this "double tap to wake" is so hard to implement? almost every new lenovo a6000 rom has the same issue there is no "double tap to wake" why is that? i am still using "dotos 3.0 android 9 pie" and i really love dotos finally i found a new dotos soon i will try this os!
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] -ARiCK-:
okay today i tested this os and it wont me let me pass after "face detection" it's like a loop no matter what you do it wont let you pass after "face detection" if i try to cancel still it will come "face detection" screen but if i try to "face detection" it wont do it no matter how much light on my face still it wont let you pass after "face detection"

so i wanna check the os so badly that's why next time i only install the os but didn't install the opengapps then i can reach to the desktop on this os and it was decent but if i install opengapps arm android 11 pico then it wont let me pass after "face detection"

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
since you have unlocked BL ,worst case senario is using custom rom (this is actually best 😆 )

before flashing it flash orangeFox recovery and go to setting/OTA and select "Aggresive stock recovery deactivation"

editing the rom may cause problems if you don't know what you doing

i suggest you :

-flash the rom (don't boot to system yet)

-in recovery go to mount and choose system

-use the recovery file manager go to system/app

-delete both cloudservice and xiaomi account and any other related app (see also under system/priv-app)

i think you should also Format data (not wipe) (this will also delete everything on internal storage)

-reboot to system

-after data is created you can reboot to recovery and flash magisk ...
