Try florisboard from f-droid, i personally found it perfect. But off course I understand your point, it is common too. I go radical, i deleted google play, framework and all google apps, i simply do not use any soft that requires google, for me its an affordable price for privacy and freedom.

By the way for debloating I am using AppManager from Muntashirakon, in ADB mode. I see the packages there, but no description, so yeah its a hit or miss. But there is an option to disable, then you see what happens and if problems you enable it back. Pretty decent, but not perfect. I wish I could root at least, but i guess need to wait for full A12 firmware and a matching TWRP recovery. Currently device is running on A12 Oneui 4 beta1.

Thanks a lot, I was going to ask you for this, where to start putting together own rom!!

Wondering, why are Calyx and Graphene roms not getting much attention here on XDA? And linux phones deserve some, even though they're technically not XDA..

The g980f in subject I just happen to have, if i would have to buy a phone now I wouldn't consider Samsung at all for the restrictions. Few months ago I disabled Samsung Pay Services - phone got locked irreversibly. I called Samsung and only option they offered is hard reset. Lost some sweet stuff with it and will never go Samsung again.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sjevtic:
That keyboard actually looks pretty good. That said, I don't have the patience to fully cut Google/Samsung out of my life.

I don't know that you need an Android 12-based TWRP, but you definitely need a compatible version of Magisk. Modding is generally a lot harder when you're on the bleeding edge, and is further complicated by the fact that you can't roll back the bootloader; you'll never find me on the latest build. It looks like there is a Android-12 compatible Magisk Canary build but I haven't tried it yet.

Because the Android phone market is too fragmented. Any custom ROM is available for at most a handful of the hundreds of actively marketed devices in the Android ecosystem.

Of course the bigger question is why we even need the abomination of an OS that is Android. In short, we don't: Sharp was already selling its Zaurus line of Linux PDAs 20 years ago. Google, however, decided it needed to insert itself into the mobile market, and the rest is history.

Samsung's "security" practices are obnoxious, though at least in the US, the carriers share plenty of blame for phones being locked down. That said, I have yet to find to find hardware that is more compelling--the lack of a SD card slot is a deal breaker.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] and1ronik:
By the way i am on beta oneui 4, and i'm not going to update to full A 12 yet, so I keep an option to go back to 11 anytime, and there I can go custom rom or root at least.

And the lack of sd card in pixels is the only thing holding me from switching too.. but very little, im actually going to get a pixel 5 as parallel to the s20. Lack of SD card can be partiality cured by cloud storage. I guess its less inconvenience comparing to struggling with samsung's bs..

From what i see online, pixels have widest rom options, Calyx, Graphene, e/OS, so I can experiment and see what works best for me.

I recently bought a Honor Magic 3, from China and using in India region.

However the themes app doesn't work, saying, not available in your region as soon as I update it.

I also have Huawei p30 Pro, where theme app works perfectly fine.

So how should I downgrade my themes app, because I can't find anyway to uninstall it.

I can downgrade by resetting my phone but that's not a valid option for me, because I'll lose my side loaded gms on doing that, which is a pain in the ass to reinstall.

That's a lot of apks. Many sit there and do nothing unless needed.

The names can be deceiving.

Dependencies... you can cause other apps you might want to fail or act erratically.

The Edge app is useful for cut and paste.

BlackHawk,

Thank you so much for that caution! I'm very grateful for reasons to look out for errors that may occur in my future. This list is based on the past 4 months of testing and re-rooting until I found one that lasted me 3+ weeks. Your point is well-taken, and, like I said, I am so grateful that you reminded me of the dependencies aspect of disabling/uninstalling APKs. I feel like this relatively short list is 85-90% safe to go by (as long as you don't intend on printing, using Chrome [ew!] or watching Netflix). I'll keep an update every week or so to indicate whether I've had any trouble. God bless!

PS
[General Topics] blackhawk:
You are welcome... and welcome to XDA 🤗

I use Package Disabler on my stock N10+'s which is nice because some apks I occasionally want use. It's easier to see what does what by test disabling an apk.

If I get desperate I can temporarily disable the PD. It's also very useful for troubleshooting.

OTA updates is the first thing I kill... and little Bixby🤣
[Touch GSM General] DWTGForever:
Ok so here is the issue

I have an htc touch that the camera was messed up on, long story short, i called verizon and they are sending me a new one today. Before I called them i did a hard reset to make sure it wasnt anything that I did with settings or anything.

Before I did the hard reset I hooked my phone up to my computer and copied all the content, as I had a lot of stuff on there. I didnt sync anything, I just copied the folders.

But I cant find the file for the contacts, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Currently it's likely that you'll never be able to unlock BL again after manual relock.... I suppose you can try extract the Bin file and fastboot sent each one of them over

Version number: M1AJQ . J530FXXU3BRJ2

My question is:

1. Where can I find ID / GND resistance value to force OTG mode and battery charging at the same time, is there any file where values are written?

2. If not, is someone can help me with the modification, to make it possible

I tried putting 100k ohm resistor between ID/GND without any success

I also tried a lot other resistors between 50K - 250K

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] deezdrama:
So I just want to say Ive been on straight talk for probably 12-15 yrs. I thought I knew all the tricks for getting phones to work on certain networks.

I prefer verizon in my location, it has the best coverage but also verizon sims have always been tricky to use on phones I didnt buy from straight talk. In the past Ive been told by straight talk that my phone wasnt compatible with verizon network but then I would just buy a junk $40 verizon/cdma phone, activate the sim in the cheap phone, and then transfer it over to my owned,unlocked,nicer phone and that would be enough to get calls and text. then set a couple APN settings and you have data and mms.

So.... Ive had a verizon sim in my LG G7ulm for 3 or 4 years now...or since it came out in 2018.

I have an unlocked version I bought outright. I cant remember if straight talk let me register it directly on verizon sim or if I had to do the sim swap trick mentioned above but anyway....3 years at least of zero problems.

My phone been stuck on android 8 and running slow so decided to wipe it and flash android 10 firmware. After doing so I can boot the phone and for 20-30 sec it shows its connected to 4g lte but then drops and i have no service at all. Ive tried all network operators/modes, Ive set APN...reboot, Ive tried 6 or 7 various different firmware revisions and this is the same result....no service.

I even went back to stock oreo 8.0.0 firmware but the problem still persists.

I contacted straight talk via chat which always is a laugh because they cant trouble shoot a rock that wont roll downhill and just tells you the device is not compatible. My daughter has this same phone and it worked fine for years as well but she took her sim out to test a different phone and lost it and when she ordered a new one it wouldnt work and they told her the phone was incompatible even though me and her both had these phones working fine for years and know they work.

So is straigt talk just blacklisting my phone? Did reflashing a new firmware cause the tower to re-verify the device and blacklist it or something? I can still pop this sim in my old phone and it connects perfectly fine and has service.

I just dont get it. My daughter when she ordered a new verizon ST sim and activated it her phone did the same thing and they said it wasnt compatible with verizon which is bullsh## because if you activate the sim on a different device then swap it over it works great.

Why do they care what device it is solong as your paying for service?

I dont know whether I should try a new ST verizon sim, ST t-mobil sim, or ST att sim now.... Att always works on these unlocked phones but service is crap in this area with at&t.

Anyone have similar experience or knowledge about this issue?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
Hi,

Has anyone have such problem with speakerphone during phone (or whatsapp/viber etc) call that

All MIC's passes tests OK, record and then play my voice very well and loud.

But when I call someone or someone call to me and I active speakerphone to put phone away from my ear - there are mess like echoes, some robotic voice like signal excitation and interference started each time for person on the other end of the line. Person hears himself more often than my voice. So it's impossible to talk normally on speakerphone. I hear companion very good, but for him it's mess. But if I deactivate speaker and use earphone (in front of my ear) - then everything is ok for me and person on the line.

Does anyone know what could be wrong? Problem persists on each FW which means that problem is hardware. I checked all mics in ,12345+= test utility. Every single microphone is ok. But it seems that when they work together - sometihng is going wrong. There are 3 mic's in this phone. First one is located on board 90AI0060-R10010 (bottom left corner), and this part can be replaced, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Second one is located in top upper part on main board and it looks like it can only be repaced by replacing motherboard which is cost a lot of $$$ which is not acceptable for devices not covered by warranty anymore (unlocked BL). Third mic installed on board 90AI0060-R10020 under back cover (where rear camera is located) and also can be replaced, price about 10USD.

But where is controller/unit which operate by these mic's?

Is there anyone who has or had such problem? What part(-s) were replaced is service under warranty?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] KC_1:
Hi

I hat similar problems. I tried a lot of adjustments at the apps and the phone. Set the phone to factory settings. Nothing helped. Even the upgrade to Android 12 didn't change anything. Finally I sent it for warranty repair to Asus workshop and now I am waiting to get it back. Hopefully tomorrow I can tell you the result.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
Ok, please also let me know (if possible) what part(-s) will be replaced.

There are 3 microphones in our phone. And I guess two of them are operate during phone calls on speaker. Main mic on sub-board which is located at the bottom of phone and second one - noise-canselling MIC which is located on motherboard (top part of phone).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] KC_1:
Hi, today I've got it back. The workshop protocol says they made a firmware reset (same I already did before and told them). And the result is, the fault is still the same. This was second time I sent it for repair. First time the WLAN module broke down. They changed the motherboard and after getting it back from the asus workshop the the speakerphone function didn't work any more. You can see, there are absolutely specialist at work.

Looking at the screenshot it looks like script works. To verify this you can boot into recovery and try to remount your partitions as rw. You can also run tune2fs -l on your partitions to verify if shared_blocks read-only feature was successfully removed.

I don't know what exactly is causing bootloop in your case. I wish we could check the log during bootloop...

[Moto G Power (2021)] KindleMatchLight:
Hi, I have no doubt this is a common question, but I'm here because after researching all day on this website and others, I have heard conflicting narratives and want to see if I can get some clarity with someone who has knowledge on this.

I live in the U.S. What I understand is that all U.S. Android phones with the Snapdragon chipset are impossible to easily root because they cannot have their bootloaders unlocked. I found this to be the case with the (unlocked, not carrier-specific) U.S. Moto G Power 2021 phone I just bought. I cannot tick OEM Unlocking in Developer settings, it's greyed out. I found users here and on other forums saying that it's possible to conventionally root Moto G Power 2021 phones, which I thought up till recently because I easily got an ID from the Motorola website, but obviously couldn't proceed with fastboot because OEM Unlocking is disabled and I can't change that. (in CMD fastboot said exactly this: OEM must be unlocked to proceed.)

Oddly, some users said that the option stopped being greyed out after a few days or a week. I contacted Motorola to see if this is a design thing but they were of no help, just telling me not to root as if I was unaware it voids warranty. Notably, just as many users said that the option would always be disabled, which began to make sense given what I learned next.

It was soon after I found people saying that all U.S. Android phones with Snapdragon consciously lock bootloader. All carrier-specific and unlocked varieties. (Consequently, there are services that do it for you, but this costs money and I'm interested in a phone I can root myself for free.) I was surprised it took me as long as I did to hear of this, and afterwards I searched for this specifically to get more clarity but didn't find any articles or documentation. It explains everything, of course, except for why I read some people (including here) were able to enable OEM Unlocking on their Moto G Power 2021 devices. (perhaps they were not U.S. phones but this was not mentioned.)

At this point if there's no way to enable OEM unlock I'm simply going to return the phone as I want a phone that I can root.

Snapdragon Androids disabling OEM unlock/bootloader unlocking is simply because of U.S. company decisions, because non-U.S. Android phones with Snapdragon do allow it. Because of this, I'm looking at international/European GSM Androids with Snapdragon, (such as the Xiaomi Mi A3) which the majority of anywhere-near-recent Androids clearly have, that would allow me to do this. I'm going to be as sure as I can it will be compatible in the U.S. (I use AT&T) and that it will be feasible to root for free.

Thanks for reading, especially if you got this far.

Absolute nonsense.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
You must wait, I believe it was several days of the device being online (wifi at least) to get it to permit unlocking the bootloader. I know with mine (US Xfinity Wireless), out of the box, it was gray, but 2 or 3 days later it was able to be toggled and I unlocked and got Magisk installed easily, using the patch stock boot.img method, and flashing it via fastboot beyond that. So you can do it, just can't do it before you activate the thing properly I think is the main block there you're describing. So perhaps those outside the US (with US models they can't toggle) can connect to a VPN'd wifi network and have it look like it's in the US, maybe.

There's a lot that can be done on these with just tinkering to get it there is all. But make sure you have your stock firmware is all, so you can quickly get it back into bootloader and just a flash away to fix anything really.

Okay. Legit question here... How does one go about injecting SU binary to the system on the moto g 2021 series with secured boot?
[Moto G Power (2021)] Deleted member 1890170:
Why should SU binary get housed in /system/... ? It's irrelevant where it's located, the main thing is that it's available and executable. Even Magisk doesn't store it in /system/.. but in /data/..

Because folder /data/local/tmp by default is mounted as RW my recommendation is to store it there. Using this storage place isn't conflicting with SELinux and/or AVB.

adb devices
adb push <FULL-PATH-OF-SU-BINARY-ON-PC-HERE> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"

When you have to run a shell command what requires elevated rights, then you run

adb devices
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/su -c '<SHELL-COMMAND-HERE>'"
