Am I correct in assuming that SU is the same as "switch/substitute user" in *nix? Does that mean I can run TB from the ADB shell, assuming I include the correct command line arguments? Something along the lines of doing a SUDO in *nix before running something that requires admin access or whatever.
[General Questions and Answers] ItsLynix:
I know this might be quite different from what you're looking for maybe?

In the future if you get a rooted rom, I use something called Migrate from the play store, it requires root and just copies all your data into a bunch of twrp flashable zip files.

SU in root context usually means super user, as a user with all privileges, but it's the same thing as super user, so yes.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidNewbie9000:
Hello Everyone,

I too am interested in a backup solution for my Android smartphone.

I would happily root or temporarily root, but despite having a computer background that dates back to Unix, I am an Android novice and do not know how to perform these operations which to most people here seem elementary.

Could someone please point me to an easy to understand primer on either temporary root or permanent root.

I would be very appreciative and I am sure that there are other readers of this post who would benefit as well.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] cxvbxcbxcvbxcb:
The thing is, that the "official" way to root a device nowadays usually includes a wipe of all user data. You basically have to decide that you want to do full backups before you use an app. This is a security measure so that an attacker cannot use the official way to e.g. access app-internal data on a stolen phone, like secret tokens of 2FA-apps. In order to backup existing app-internal data you either need to use the per-app-backup that the creators of that app did hopefully include or hope that the allowed to do adb backup. That can be used without root, but depending on your Android, apps either need to allow this explicitly or at least not explicitly disallow that in their manifest file.

In principle you can use exploits for non-official rooting to backup existing data that is blocked from adb backup - but this is only an option if you do not have the latest security updates in place and an exploit is publicly available.

I don't know what I did to the settings, but got this floating bubble that wouldn't go away. It doesn't do anything, it goes translucent if left alone. I thought it's a Nova Launcher thing, but then even if I am using pixel launcher it's still there. It's really annoying, do you know how to get rid of it? Thanks!View attachment 5447041

You accidentally turned on Accessibility Shortcut instead of just Notification Access.

Go to Settings, Accessibility, select Nova Launcher and disable the shortcut slider.

On my Flip 3 the outer display orange dot does not show when I have a new phone call or text message notifications (when I open the phone badges show missed calls or messages). I do get the orange dot for missed Gmail mail and some other things.

Do I need to set some setting in order to enable the orange dot for missed calls or messages?

Thanks,

Barry.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
Hi,

I did a test and everything working fine for me. Try checking the notification settings for you message and phone app. I guess the orange dot is only showing if notifications are turned on
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] canalrun:
Thanks. That's good to know.

On my phone notifications are turned on for both the default phone app and default messaging app.

For the default phone app, notifications appear to be turned on, but the slide switches are grayed out. I am not able to control those notifications by turning them off or on – the switch is to the right so they appear to be on, but the switch is gray not green.

For the default messaging app, the switch is to the right, it's green, and I can switch notifications off and on – they are currently on.

I have a feeling I might know why I'm not receiving that notification dot. I have that phone number forwarded to Google Voice. If I don't answer, Google Voice picks up and takes a message. Google Voice says something about also handling messages, although I don't know how that works. I receive messages on my phone. Once Google Voice told me I had a new message, but other times no. I don't remember seeing that orange dot when I receive a new message. I will have to test it some more.

Barry.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
Phone app showing the same for me. I think these are the default settings.

View attachment 5450869

I tried to reproduce the behavior for the messages. Only way it does not show the orange dot is by turning off notifications at all or activating DND (without setting exception to show notification while DND mode).

Unfortunately Google voice is not available here, so I can't test it.

David
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] canalrun:
Thanks. That's how my phone app notifications look – buttons grayed out.

I will have to play with this some more.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Notifications on this phone are garbage. At least from the standpoint of knowing when you have one without manually turning the exterior screen on.

When you get a notification the exterior screen turns on for like a second and that's it.

They need options..like edge lighting or a simple blinking dot because unless you saw it turn on for that spit second then tough luck. If Someone sent you an important text or email and you didn't see the screen flash on then off you're out of luck.

It's ridiculous. It's lazy and I expect better from a company like Samsung...

I deeply regret buying this phone for just that reason alone..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] mirkol78:
I partially solved with vibration when i take the phone, if there is a notification not read the phone does a little vibration
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
True but that's fundamentally the same as tapping the exterior screen twice to see if there's a notification dot.

Im hoping the developer of aodnotify @Jawomo can use the code in another thread (located here https://bit.ly/3n0VG5d) that allows you to do things with the exterior display like edge lighting or a blinking dot and plenty more but the first 2 would be helpful for notifications received when you weren't looking at the phone.

I just don't understand why Samsung limited the exterior screen options so much. It seems like such an obvious idea to be able to tweak notification settings for the exterior screen...but Samsung seems to always go half way on their software... Except for their extreme and broken battery saving methods. Like say you don't open your clock app for 3 days... Even if you have an alarm set for day 4 their over aggressive battery software will put the app to sleep and not allot it to run in the background..and your alarm won't go off on day 4. Even if you allow an app to run in the background and disable battery optimization for that app this still happens.

You can sort of disable it so it's less aggressive but looking at the settings you might not know 100% what it's actually doing and your average user probably won't change any of those settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
I miss the good old time swhen you just had a simple LED Notification light 😭 Maybe to simple 😂
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Me too...me too.

It can't be that hard to implement lol. Even if you use the screen as a fake LED I'd be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] doggydog2:
Agree notification light is something extremely useful. Last time i 've had it on Mi 9 or Note 9 phone. Rest in piece! Only Xperia offers it nowadays.

Also think Z Flip notifications are great and bad at the same time. You have widgets, you can swipe notifications away, you can read long messages and people can see themselves on that screen. Now with AOD off, you have permanent charging notification which is wonderful. That exactly emulates a white (pulsing) notification light. But with AOD on, situation changes. Charging status is suddenly impossible to read. Oh, the microscopic battery icon, not again. Notifications pop up for a quick period of time. Orange dot sometimes disappears. There should be app icons instead like on normal AOD!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
The only widget I find useful is the timer. Swiping notifications away is fine but doesn't really help let me know I have some unless I actively go looking.

Having the charge screen on all the time doesn't appeal to me either, if I want to see it I'll just tap the screen. Ive never liked things staying on all the time, not even the clock but I know plenty of people do so I understand why it's an option.

The orange dot is pretty useless. It disappears if you turn the exterior screen on even if it's just to see the time and you don't touch anything else.

That's why I wish someone would make edge lighting for the exterior screen. The code needed to make it work has been posted but who knows if someone will do it.

Like I said I use aodnotify to basically keep the exterior screen turned on for 2 min when I get any kind of notification. That way I can look over and know. I always have my phone on vibrate and vibration on Samsung phones is so weak. On ever phone I've owned that wasn't Samsung I could hear the vibration from across the room but with the note 9, 10+ and this I can't hear it vibrate when it's a couple feet away.

Samsung... Always going half way when it comes to their software. No idea how they became number 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] doggydog2:
to be fair, no other brand is close to Samsung software like I moaned here. Several times i returned the phone like Sony, Alcatel because of dead blank OS. Quit OnePlus because of that too. Xiaomi has just a overmodified bloatware and spyware. There's no brand that can compete with Samsung regarding software.

Also it's Samsung that can notify you in a brutal way -- do the edge effect, blink with flash, repeat notifications until you notice.. This creates an explosive cocktail of effects you can't miss. I'd just prolong the notification time, it's really short. But it's the same with other brands!

Avoided 3rd party notif light apps, as they burn battery quick. But i tried aodnotify as it promises something different. It's highly configurable but can't modify the small screen. I have the phone closed 99% of time so it's useless for me:( But thanks for the tip, i will use in next time, if i ever will have a classic phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
It's perfectly fair to compare Samsung's version of GAPPS to Google's.. messaging app vs messaging app. Calendar vs Calendar.

The spyware is a HIDDEN service always running in the background and I care about Adguard because it blocks ads, trackers and analytics in ALL apps and it works as a firewall. Go to adguard.com and look. The play store version is NOT Adguard, it's an extension for 2 browsers.

I got the latest update and no...the exterior screen does not have a blinking dot. When you get a notification the exterior screen turns on for a couple seconds and then shuts off. You can see the dot if you double tap the screen but that's not helpful. I want something to blink when I get a notification without me needing to touch the phone.

I'm glad you like Samsung's apps but I can get better versions of everything they offer. I can use Google apps for my dialer, contacts, messages, calendar, calculator and clock. I use Nova as my launcher because OneUI is too basic. I use Google now via Nova and Google assistant instead of Bixby. Bixby is god awful and once again google does it better.

Yeah you can change some settings for battery management but then you have NO battery management. Also the average person isn't going to know any of this so they will fall victim to apps not working and alarms not going off. That's poor design.

So I can say I think Samsung's software is terrible and you can like it.

I'm too tired to read the rest so I'll do it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Samsung is worse than Google for privacy. They send more data to themselves than Google does.

Thankfully Adguard blocks all that crap.

As for GAPPS v Samsung... They are just as simple ok the Samsung side by with worse UI's. Plus I prefer simple.

If I want something good I'll just get it from the store.

This is definitely my last Samsung phone. I'll probably go with a pixel next but as long as it's hardware is good and it can be rooted then brand isnt as important.

Then I can use whatever rom I want. Back to battery...if you disable Samsung battery functions then you basically cut battery life in half. They seem to have disabled the built in battery saving functions from AOSP so when you shut that insanely aggressive management off...you get nothing.

I would prefer if it worked like my older note used to work. I had ability to just have orange dot notification. Also I was able to set a different color for notifications that came from the "secure folder" apps.

help to have oneplus 7t HD1907 your android mobile 11 wants to root it without conversion to global, will it be possible or am I obliged to convert it to global? my bootloader is unlocked
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] PriMieon:
I would like to install the latest Google OTA update but also keep root.

I heard you can do the following to retain root:

Open magisk

Click on "uninstall magisk"

You will then be asked if you want to "completely uninstall" or (restore image). You will choose to restore image

This restored image allows you to update your phone and you still retain root AS LONG AS YOU DON'T RESTART. So you do just that, you update and DON'T restart

After the update go back to magisk manager and press install. You will be asked how you want to install it (patch boot image, direct install etc). Select inactive slot.

Reset phone and enjoy!

But I walk against a wall against at step 3

Magisk never backed up my original boot image as I flashed it through fastboot. Where do I place the original image for magisk to find it? And what will my file have to be called? Magisk is probably looking for a certain file name

Then I also have a problem with step 5. I only get the option to direct install and patch boot image. I am not given the option to install it in an inactive slot.

What do you guys do to update your phone? Install it manually through fastboot? I would just prefer to skip the fastboot part going on. I just the commands so rarely that I always forget them and always have to look them up xD. Just seeing if this community know something I don't

I am a huge fan of the old Two-Button Navigation that Google gave us with Android 9. I always try the latest and greatest with nav gestures and always come away feeling like they are lacking. Unfortunately, Google officially removed Two-Button Navigation with Android 10. Fortunately, there's a way to bring it back! And it's even easier now than it was before! Just install the Magisk Module and enable it in Settings.

Actually, that's on me. I copied the link into Chat from my browser so I could click on it from my phone rather than trying to find the post from the app, because I'm lazy.

Lol that's actually not you at all! That's 100% on me and the noob I was when I built the site 10+ years ago. I put a space in "Misc Files" instead of an underscore or something and most browsers don't like spaces. I've wanted to fix that for years but it would require some massive overhauls and updating hundreds of links all over the Internet. Sorry for the pain!

Can you try testing the following:

Turn off Auto Rotate.

Turn your phone sideways while using an app that supports sideways view.

Check if the "rotate display" icon appears.

The reason I am asking is because the "rotate display" icon no longer shows up for me after updating to Android 13.
