[Xperia Z2 General] kakashi7593:
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use the 4k video recording mode with other apps like for example Open Camera.

I like this app because it has some nice features like manual focusing or locking the focus, changing some other things.

The app does have the option to enable 4k by enabling

But sadly when I press record I get a message

Hopefully theres a workaround to use the 4K with 3rd party apps.

If anyone knows how, please let us all know.
[Xperia Z2 General] kakashi7593:
So far I learned that many manufactures make their phones so if you use the stock app you get the best quality and everything.

But if you use third party apps, you get basic features and quality is always worse.

I was wondering if maybe rooting the phone would unlock the full capability of the camera to be used with third party apps.
[Xperia Z2 General] kakashi7593:
So I rooted the phone finally with locked bootloader.

Sadly, still Open Camera is unable to use 4K UHD video recording.

I think for this to work you need Camera2 Api which Xperia Z2 does not have.

But there's another thing.

Cyberian camera mod 8.0 for Xperia Z2.

I installed it after rooting the phone and now I can open regular camera app and I have 4K option, and I don't even have to choose the 4K app.

Awesome.

Also, Cyberian comes with few other focusing features, maybe I can use those with 4K recordings because normal focus on 4K app is awful, constantly looks to refocus itself.

Sadly Cyberian can't lock focus but it does have single and multi auto focus, face detection, object tracking and infinity.

Will report back how those work now.

I'm really hoping someone can help me as it's been doing my head in for days now. A game I used to play a few years ago, cannot for the life of me remember the name, where you propel yourself through the playing area and absorb the other objects. I know there are a few games out there like this, but just cannot find the one I played.

The look of it was somewhat similar to auralux which is the screenshot I've attached, with all different coloured spheres (I can't remember what they were...stars, cells, bubbles) and you expelled part of your sphere to move yourself around and absorb other smaller spheres, avoiding the larger ones that would absorb you.

Really hoping someone can help me before this pathetic annoyance drives me completely bonkers 👍

Guys I received this update on 01.12 View attachment 5472671

View attachment 5472673

Weird to find no one talking about it, it actually broke my Google pay, coz it says I'm rooted or running uncertified software when I turned on NFC, while everything else seems to work just fine. And all the bugs in beta 2 seem to be fixed. Security patch on Nov 2021 though.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rmendez011:
I don't think its stable, I see nothing on Google about this update, they might've accidentally released the Beta 3 without giving it the Beta 3 name, there are still many bugs that originally came with beta 1, which is why I'm assuming it's a Beta and not the stable release.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rmendez011:
Why would it be a ColorOS boot animation? I'm saying this is the 3rd beta and not Stable release,

In Oxygen OS 11 I had LTE/LTE+, same with OOS 10, 9, 5, 4, and 3. I am in the U.S. however.

It's the most stable beta yet, I haven't noticed any instabilities.

I agree 100%.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Can someone pull the boot.img and vbmeta images or would the boot.img from OB2 work? @saisid16
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rmendez011:
I would assume it won't work, because the boot.img from beta 1 did not work for beta 2. Since there is no news, and Oxygen Updater doesn't acknowledge this update exists I doubt anyone has the update zip.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Ob1 boot image worked for me since OB2 was an incremental update. There was no full release zip so no one could pull the boot img since payload dumper doesn't work for incremental otas.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rmendez011:
I saw some people say their phone didn't work, I found a version of payload dumper that extracted the .img files from incremental otas but Magisk Manager said the boot.img was corrupted or boot.img was invalid, something like that.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Hmm, it worked for me. But I don't really wanna take that risk again if someone can pull the boot from this update and I'll be willing to try it out. Have the t-mobile variant so me using msm would mean back to stock, locked bl, then have to unlock, convert, etc all over again. It's weird cause C36 COS was just released last week.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] brmbjn:
2G 3G 4G/4G+ AND NOW 5G

GSM LTE AND THEN ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rmendez011:
I fail to understand your point? In OOS 11 it was 5G/4G/3G/2G, but in the status bar I saw LTE/LTE+ or 5G/5G+/5G UW (Cause I have Verizon).

Now in OOS 12 it's the same 5G/4G/3G/2G but in the Status bar I only see 4G/4G+ or 5G/5G+/5G UW, OOS going to the ColorOS code based changed the icon.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] saisid16:
I hope you got the boot image (I too don't have access to my PC today)

I guess only the Indian variants got the update. This seems more like an open beta 3 despite having the same build as stable Color OS (C.36)

It broke my Google Pay (not Indian GPay), any possible fixes for that apart from reverting to OB2 or waiting for the next update?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] lukehong9:
Has anyone successfully rooted their devices with these?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
I can't even get the update to go past 37%. Trying to update from OB2 to OB3.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] jeffsga88:
Yes. I installed magisk alpha and patted the boot.img from that link and was able to root on OB3.

I had to start over and go back to 11 stable and upgrade to each open beta to be able to update to OB3 since I was on OB2 and rooted and no matter what the update would fail.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
When you went back to 11 you had to erase your data? I'm good on that. I get tired of setting my phone up all the time cause OnePlus can't get their **** right. Do you have the OB2 zip handy?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] jeffsga88:
Yeah unfortunately had to wipe all data. They need to go back to full rom updates instead of this dumb incremental crap. Frustrating part is it only seems that they did this to the US market and everyone else still gets the full rom updates. I don't have the OB2 zip as it was only an incremental update as well.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Are you using props in magisk? If so that's why. If not, I just thought I'd mention since that scenario happened to me one time.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] acloh0411:
i am not rooted, this is maybe why i can not see the incremental zip.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EdiTurn:
You only need to flash the stock boot.img & vbmeta.img (without two disables) in fastboot. After that OTA will work.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sunxutian:
If you are on TM, I suggest you to avoid this update, I somehow manage to update to OB3 with TM-EU MSM and update all the way from 11.2.2 to 11.9.9 then OB1,OB2,OB3. But I don't have cell data on OB3 no matter how hard I try, tried to flash the modem from 12.7.7 - Got crash dump and need MSM back. So now I stay at 12.10.10 after TM-EU MSM back and it works fine. Hope once the stable OOS12 comes out, TM can update with no issue. As I mentioned on https://xdaforums.com/t/tmo-9-pro-modem-fixed.4292445/post-86040623, good thing is now my BL is locked and I have widenlevel L1.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pyry666:
Didnt work for me. Sure I used cos vbmeta so that might be the issue. Do you have stock boot and vbmeta from global OB2, if yes could you please post them here?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] lukehong9:
So I have the patched boot.img. But, for the vbmeta file, do I also patch it with Magisk?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Phil_Libra:
Without two disables, I've got a fastboot loop after flash vbmeta.img.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Phil_Libra:
I flashed the stock boot.img & vbmeta.img, and still can't update to C.36.

Hope there will be a full update package.

These two partitions have been modified while rooting, so need to be restored before the OTA.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] pyry666:

Vbmeta would be amazing, boot i can grab..
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
@pyry666 did you disable/enable verity with vbmeta in fastboot before flashing the stock boot then updating?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] aNGERY:
is anyone else's failing at 37 percent on storage, and probably 1/3rd of the way ota?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
I am as well. Restored stock before trying. Haven't tried uninstalling magisk route. People have tried restoring boot and vbmeta. One person said they had to clean flash oos 11 then go to ob1, 2, then finally etc.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] lukehong9:
That's what I had to do and worked just for me
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
What did you have to do, clean install you mean?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] lukehong9:
Flash back to 11.2.9.9 or whatever it exactly was. Then went to OB1 and eventually to OB3
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Sounds like a huge PITA. I hate clean flashing. Especially with now way of taking full system backups (no twrp). Getting real tired of OnePlus's BS.

You have to be on tmobile csc + have inserted a tmobil sim card to be able to register to the beta.

Be careful changing csc by insering another sim card could force wipe the device!

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
By fortune never (hard) bricked my RN8, the most you can do is trying with a patched Firehose file, something like this {Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator} or if QPST tool detects it, no need to use an authorized account.

No, it doesn't, it is just to re-write the firmware. Anyway, in the QPST there is an option to back up the QCN file, with it, you could restore it at any time if something goes wrong. Firstly search for a patched Firehose file, I know that it worked for some devices, you just have to replace it for the original one and the authorization this way is done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
To update the record, I still do not know what "magic" adds an app to the "Open with" list, but it happened again in this thread today:

How hard can it be to find a simple text editor that edits any text file stored anywhere you want it to be stored on your internal or external sdcard?

In that case, when you tapped on a text file in some file managers, the "Open with" contained the FOSS "Simple Text Editor" tool by Maxim Starkov (aka MaxiStar); but in other cases, that text editor wasn't part of the list of "Open with" options....

Sigh... I wish someone knew what the "magic" is that puts an application (such as a text file editor) into the "Open with" listing when you tap on a text file to edit it.

Otherwise, it's almost completely arbitrary - and that's sad if Android is really that random that the "Open with" list is essentially left to chance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
Anyone know how to clear Google Map Search results in the Android Firebase?

And why does Firebase capture such searches even if you have it turned off?

a. Android 11:Settings > Google > Developer > Firebase App Indexing

[ (You may need to turn on "Developer Options") ]​

b. Select "Maps <com.google.android.apps.maps>"

c. Select "Place"

What pops up on my Android 11 phone (which doesn't have a Google Account registered to it) are the "Latest updated indexables", which, at least in my tests, include the last few dozen locations you've searched in the Google Maps app.

How do you clear all Firebase indexables, en masse, on Android 11?

And why does Firebase capture ALL your Google Map destination searches even if you don't even have a Google Account?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
I hear you... excellent observation👍

The data is likely stored in Gmaps... it's a pig.

Go through it's settings and use the factory load version. Playstore updates always make it worse.

It's doing the same thing to me... Temporarily disabling Google play Services seems to kill that interaction. I normally keep Google play Services disabled unless I need to use Gmail; apparently it was enabled when I used Gmaps on 11.10.2021.

I've used Gmaps multiple times since. Clearing Google play Services doesn't clear the Firebase data. I didn't try clearing Gmaps data as it's a pain to set up.

Firebase is another Gookill data hog.

View attachment 5472811
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
I figured out (I think) how to clear the Firebase search data for the Google Maps app destination searches (to protect your privacy).

I started with this existing shortcut (which was already in my homescreen shortcut folder) to the following Android Activity:

ShortcutName === Search Data

ShortcutValue === com.google.android.gms.icing.ui.IcingManageSpaceActivity

My specific "Search Data" Android Activity in the Android 11 Settings, has four entries (yours will likely have more or less depending on what apps you use).

Google Play services (2.51 MB)

T-Mobile (371 kB)

Maps (22.42 kB)

GasBuddy (1.28 kB)

To get to that "Search Data" Android Activity the slow way (instead of using that quick shortcut) you do the following on Android 11.

Android 11:Settings

Apps

Your apps

Google Play services

Storage

At the bottom, press "Manage storage"

This brings you to "Google Play services storage"

Press the gray "[MANAGE SEARCH DATA]" button box.

This brings you to the "Search Data" Android Activity

In that "Search Data" Android Activity, you select "Maps" and then "Storage" and then individually select "Clear cache" & "Clear data".

Search Data > Maps > Storage > {Clear data, Clear cache}

If you already know ahead of time that it's only the "Maps" app that you want to clear the cache & data for, you can also get there more directly using the Android 11 Settings of

Android11: Settings

Apps

Your apps

Maps

Storage

{Clear data, Clear cache}

Only after doing that procedure of clearing the "Maps" storage, do I finally clear out the Android Firebase storage of all the places I've ever searched for as the destination in a Google Maps app routing.

In my homescreen shortcut folder is already a shortcut to the Google menu in Android which brings me to the following Android Activity:

ShortcutName === Google

ShortcutValue === com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsIALink

Once there, when I look at the Firebase App Indexing for "Maps", there is no longer anything stored which confirms this privacy hole has been cleared (for now).

Android 11:Settings

Google

Developer

[ (You may need to turn on "Developer Options") ]

Firebase App Indexing

Maps <com.google.android.apps.maps>

You should no longer see a selection for "Place"

Instead you should see "No indexibles found"

This is an indication that this privacy hole has been cleared.

The key unresolved question, of course, is how to prevent it from ever coming back?
