Just a reminder: Because of the requirement to disable dm-verity and vbmeta verification when flashing a patched boot image, you will have to wipe data when doing so. If you have not yet unlocked your bootloader, this is a non issue, as you can disable AVB after unlocking the bootloader.

Hello everyone,

I haven't unlocked my P6P's bootloader or rooted yet, but have read that banking apps won't work after rooting/unlocking the bootloader.

Does anybody use Monzo and can confirm the app doesn't work? Also, do you think they'll find a solution to this issue any soon?

Thanks a lot!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skymera:
Monzo won't work if device is rooted. Magisk used to have the Hide feature but I'm not sure if it's still working as I no longer root.

Many apps like banks or GPay also won't work if SafetyNet is tripped, again something MagiskHide used to be able to mask.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ZeNiXxX:
Yes all working here gpay, Banking apps and so on. Just use the guide for rooted and safety net pass here on xda. And additional do one thing:

Install Airfrozen app from Playstore,

Freeze magisk app in Airfrozen that's it all will work, if you need root just unfreeze it again use your root stuff and freeze again

This guide has all you need: https://xdaforums.com/t/working-safetynet-with-pixel-6-pro-android-12.4354149/

Basically as long as you hide the Magisk app, and use the USNF module (latest Zygisk version is available for free now), you should be golden with most banking apps - just add them to the exception list.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
anyone able to get fingerprint working with the Chase and Amex apps? both of these were fine, but now they won't let me unlock with fingerprint. running the latest Canary with 2.2 USNF
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
I got chase working fine. I made sure chase was in deny list then cleared chase data/cache. Reboot. I uninstalled magisk app then was able to get fp to work. Even works after I installed Magisk app again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
when you added the Chase app to the deny list, did you select both entries under it or just the default one?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Both
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
I didn't have to deny a single thing for GPay or Chase.

Install Magisk alpha. Enable zygisk. Install newest zygisk-based Universal SafetyNet Fix. Confirm that YASNAC shows you passing. Done.

There's no need to do exotic stuff but it's best to do this before ever trying your apps to avoid having to clear their storage.

I am wondering how to get more colour theme options when I set a new wallpaper, usually it gives me the same 4 or it may be a mix of a few depending on my wallpapers but I cannot seem to attain a white or grey theme as shown on the pixel 6 advertisement with white widgets and white app icons on grey backgrounds. Is there a way to get more options?

Also, sometimes when I slide down my notification panel it is completely white, and sometimes it is a blurred version of my background, why isn't this consistent?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skymera:
It's limited to the small number of muted colour selections with no way to add more afaict.

The blurred pull down background is a bug triggered by adjusting the brightness slider.

[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
A recent unwanted Firefox for Android automatic update has replaced all the open tabs and history with a different set of tabs and history. The tabs and history I had before the automatic update are now gone and in their place are a set of tabs which I had in a previous install of Firefox on the same device, but some time ago.

Some of the tabs I had open int he session before were important (reminders, notes for things, pages I needed to look at for various reasons, etc.).

Any ideas how I can get this session back?

Some ideas:

How do I find out the version of Firefox that was installed prior to the automatic update, for the purpose of reverting to it and hoping the previous tabs are there?

Is it possible that data for two Firefox installations are on the phone, even though only one installation is listed? This must be the case with histories and tabs because a bunch of old tabs and an old history have appeared along with the automatic update. Any idea where this data is stored with Firefox Android?

I'm not too worried about the history. I had that synced anyway. The open tabs is the main thing.

Thanks for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
Bump.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you knew the version of Firefox that you previously had, it may solve your issue. But, the problem is there is no way that I know of to find out which version you had previously. There may not even be a way to find the answer to that question.

The open tabs may be gone for good as they would have been loaded and stored in your cache partition, not in your app data. The update more than likely cleared any cached data held in queue by Firefox, if that is the case, you will not be able to retrieve the lost tabs.

Do you remember the tabs you had open? Can you go back to the web pages that you had open and open them in new tabs?
[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
I thought firefox stored its data in the data/data folder. Which cache folder are you referring to? Location please?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, it stores its data in data/data, but that is not where cached data is stored, cached data is "live" data, not "stored" data, temporary data that is loaded into cache while it is being used and dumped when not in use or to make room for other cached data to be loaded. When you bookmark a page, that bookmark is stored in data/data partition but when you have tabs open in Firefox, those open tabs are stored in cache, if cache gets wiped or if the tabs are closed, the open tabs stored in cache are gone. Bookmarking pages is the only way to "keep" those tabs long-term.

You need to research the difference between stored data and cached data. Think of the data/data partition being the same as the hard drive on PC and cache as being the same as RAM on PC. Read only memory vs random access memory.

There is no point trying to find it in your cache partition because the data you are looking for is no longer there, that is why your open tabs are gone. If you want those tabs back you will have to find those pages online and open them in new tabs. You are not going to "recover" the tabs you lost, you can only open them the same way you did the first time you opened those pages.

You need to learn to bookmark the pages you want to keep instead of trying to keep them by leaving them open in Firefox.
[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
So Android Firefox is different from desktop in that sense then? In the PC version the cache the browser uses is the browser cache, located in the user's profile folder. You're saying that Firefox stores stuff like open tabs, tab history, session history in the cache partition of Android?

I don't really 'try to keep them open' exactly. It's more that that is just how Firefox works on Android, and it should work (it's hardly convenient to bookmark every page you open but want to read later, seems to me), so pages remain there, but because of Firefox's nasty habit of upgrading itself without warning (and presumably some other causes, judging by other posts on it) they have been known to disappear.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, it stores what is loaded and in use at the moment in cache, tabs that are open at the time are held in cache. Cached data is not permanent data, cached data is data that is frequently loaded and dumped based on your usage and availability of cache space.

I really don't think you are understanding the point. If you want to keep tabs, bookmark them, if you don't bookmark them, they will not persist the way you want them to, period.
[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
Not that I'm looking for advice on that in this thread, but again, tabs are supposed to be persistent (by default) in Firefox Android - users are not supposed to be continually required to replace all their tabs with bookmarks lest they disappear.

Regarding the locations Firefox uses, what you have written above also appears to be wrong, and your response above does not address it. According to several webpages I have now read, Firefox android does in fact store lots of session and tab data in the data/data folder. Indeed I have just found a sessionstore.js file with some currently open tabs, and a sessionstore backup file with old tabs in the data/data folder on my very phone, specifically in /data/dat/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/<profile>.

Droidriven I would kindly ask that you leave this post alone now for others to respond to.
[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
To summarise where I'm at with this, following the Reddit post below I have found a sessionstore.bak file in the /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/<profile>/ folder, and it does contain a session (bunch of tabs), but not the tabs I had open when the update occurred and the tabs disappeared.

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/f4vkrp

Also, there is supposed to be a 'sessionstore-backups' folder somewhere in the profile folder, but I can't find it.

Where are "Previous Sessions" stored? I am changing from Win XP to Win 7 Pro and want to save/access Previous Sessions. | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support

support.mozilla.org

Any suggestions? Does Firefox Android only ever keep one sessionstore.bak file, and only at that location (/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/<profile>)?
[General Questions and Answers] califauna:
Bump. Must be someone on this forum who knows how Firefox Android works.

Does Firefox Android only ever keep one sessionstore.bak file, and only at that location (/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/<profile>)?

Where can I find sessionstore.old files, or any other kind of file which might contain old sessions?

The phone's display wakes up whenever there's vibrations on the table.

I have already disabled "lift to check phone" but it didn't seem to help.

To troubleshoot I've also tried disabling "Tap to check phone" and "Wake screen for notifications" but it still seem to wake when there's motion.

Anyone know what other setting is there that can cause this or it is a persistent feature of the phone?
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
It's likely due to having fingerprint unlock set up. It appears to be a feature making it quicker to unlock when you touch your phone. 2 workarounds:

1. Delete your fingerprint(s) and use another unlock method, or

2. Use this adb command: adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0

The percentage being high only really matters if you are not able to get through the usage you need. I am getting 24 hours of my normal usage (charging once a day in the evening before bed up to 80%) with it still being at 30-40% full.

Example thread on battery life at https://xdaforums.com/t/battery-life-thread.4354977/#post-85942795

Various things have been posted about trying, such as locking to bands, but as random as the issue is as to whether you even have a problem, its random as to whether any of these workarounds do anything for individuals. All you can do is experiment.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I got about 9% mobile network standby in 24 hours, I should say though that I barely leave the house atm (homeoffice) and that means that ~ 23:30 hours a day the phone is constantly on standby, 4G almost never activated, so that's roughly 0.383 % battery drain per hour, I am ok with that.

Still I hope that Google can improve upon this.

[G3 General] y0va:
Hi guys,

I discovered a new method for installing a custom recovery for the LG G3 d855. It works without rooting the device. Probably it can also be modified for other devices, but I haven't tried.

On most devices you now get on the market, android 6 is installed which comes with a defunct bootloader why you shouldn't just wipe the laf partition to get into fastboot (like here) , else you get a bricked device. But if you first install an old secondary bootloader to ABOOT, fastboot would work and also custom recoveries.

So where to get a working ABOOT? I attached the one I found on storagecow.eu in a V10e tot file. You can extract tots with LG Firmware extractor. (Brrr.... you need to boot windows for that. maybe it runs with wine? Check....)

For talking with the proprietary LG seconary bootloader LAF there is this great tool: https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf

You also need a current twrp for your device ex from https://eu.dl.twrp.me/d855/

Some versions of the bootloader want to have a CR hello, others not, you have to try. So basic procedure is:

git clone https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf.git
unzip bootloader_d855.zip

# Boot to LAF by pressing VOL UP and power while power plugged in
# try to omit the "--cr" here if the partition commands exit instantly or timeouts appear.
# It's normal, that for first issue of the command a timeout appears
# Some errors of the partition commands are normal

lglaf/lglaf.py --cr --debug -c '!EXEC uname -m\0' --rawshell
lglaf/partitions.py --restore aboot.bin aboot
lglaf/partitions.py --restore sbl1.bin sbl1
lglaf/partitions.py --restore rpm.bin rpm

lglaf/partitions.py --restore twrp-3.5.2_9-0-d855.img recovery
lglaf/lglaf.py -c '!CTRL POFF'

Start recovery be pressing VOL DOWN and POWER, shortly releasing both when logo appears, and pressing both again. Answer YES to following both questions. TWRP starts.

Take care! If you push something false you have a bricked device!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] BBThumbPix:
Hello Everyone,

This question is not particularly only targeted for RN7 but that is the next phone of which I intend to unlock bootloader, install recovery and an Android 11 ROM.

I have returned to the scene of custom roms etc after a prolonged hiatus and it might be that I have missed something and because of which I'm encountering an issue. Over the past few days, I have unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery and custom roms on : Redmi 3S Prime (land) - WaveOS, Redmi 4(santoni) - crDroid and Moto G5 Plus(Potter) - PixelPlus UI all running Android 11.

Only on Redmi handsets, everything runs smooth and no issues except for WiFi - it works normal during the setup and after the installation as well. After sometime, the WiFi even though its working doesn't connects to the network. It shows the network as saved but doesn't connects, and still other networks in the vicinity are being discovered and shown. Only after performing a few hit and trials like forget network, use device MAC etc it gets back to working but not always.

Again, I have seen only this only my Redmi device whereas the Moto G5 Plus works flawlessly. I don't feel its an issue with any of the ROMS but maybe some settings that I have overlooked. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

My father uses the RN7 and I wouldn't want to mess around until I'm completely sure so as to not create any issues with the handset functionality thereafter.

Looking forward to your help and assistance!
