[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyzer:
Hello, how can I restore my apps and app data from my Huawei Y9 Prime to my Moto G Stylus 5G? I've been searching all over, tried multiple cloning apps from the Google Playstore (which none successfully cloned my apps, they just transferred over the apks therefore my data wouldn't carry over), but am still unsure on how I should go about it. Neither of my devices are rooted, but if that's a requirement in order to fully restore my apps and their data, then I'll go ahead and do that. A lot of my apps are installed through apks and I have about 200 apps/games total, so for the things that are available through the Playstore, I rather not go through each and every one. When I switched from my Huawei Honor 6x to my Y9 Prime, it transfered absolutely everything seamlessly just as I left it on my Honor 6x. But that method is unavailable this time since my new device isn't from Huawei, and there's no special cloning app from Motorola themselves. Each time I've attempted a cloning app yesterday (I tried about 5),none carried over any of my apps despite me selecting "apps" on every single one. On one if them it said something about "android restrictions" or something.

Hello! I have Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad TB-606F but I can't find Netflix in the play store and it doesn't play anything on Disney+ and Star+. It can be fixed?

Thanks.
[Lenovo P11] gqbigpaps:
Netflix is showing up fine for me ao I camt tell you how to fix that but maybe try getting a proper gloval ROM installed (most resellers install shady global roms on a chinese version of the tablet and sell it as a global version). As for the disney+ problem disabling the dolby sound app fixed it for me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
Lots of questions -

You do not state what ROM you are on/using - but I had many of the issues with BT and WIFI and music that you state you are having. I upgraded to the ROM in my signature and the BT and WIFI problems went away.

I use Opera now and like it better - don't set your expectations on internet on a 2 by 3 inch screen too high. When your finger takes up 7 percent of the ENTIRE screen it is going to be difficult to point accurately easily. The pointer however works a treat.

Re: BT disconnection - I was at the BYM and listening to music and it happened to me - you apologize and stop the music ASAP. Now - in church while the minister is speaking is a totally 'nother story... ;)

Hi Whk,

I tried out duttys wm61 rom which I enjoyed the most but seemed to have the largest performance issues on. Before that it was the stock o2 xda build.

Thanks for the suggestion with opera, i'll give it a go.

Cheers!

Introduction

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.

TWRP version: 3.6.0_11

For device: gta4lwifi

Device tree: https://github.com/pazos/android_device_samsung_gta4lwifi

Maintainer/Authors build: paziusss

Known limitations

FBE encrypted storage (Internal Data) not able to be decrypted in TWRP.

Changelog

2021-12-08:

Added: exfat support

Added: mass storage support

Fixed: USB composition rules

Supressed audit messages in logcat

Misc changes (see device tree for details)

2021-12-05: Initial release

Motivation and credits.

AFAICT there're two TWRP builds on xda for the SM-T500, made by ragarcia87 and agreenbhm

The main motivation for Yet Another TWRP build was getting fastboot working, so we can follow official instructions to flash GSI builds on our devices.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Thanks for migrating this to Android 11! One issue I'm seeing is that I can't mount the Micro SD card.

Also, the link for your device tree seems to be broken. Could you please update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Hi Magendanz. Thanks for your feedback.

I have no issues mounting the MicroSD card. Do you have some logs?

Updated DT link!

About the device tree: I'm having trouble pushing the changes to github because my slow connection. Will see if I got them pushed somehow. If not I will revert blobs to agreenbhm version.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Here's the log...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Hi!

Indeed, I didn't test with exfat. Should be fixed soon. Also adb sideload don't work in the version attached.

I will make the changes ASAP and give a better commit history in device tree :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Hi. Device tree updated with support for exfat and ADB sideload fixed.

Will upload the binaries in a few hours!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] stompysan:
Thanks for bringing a nicer TWRP for GSI loading to our devices. I flashed this with no issues, but I am really struggling to get my device to boot any GSI. I am sure it is something that I am doing wrong on my end, since I have not messed with Samsung devices or any GSI installations before. Is there a change to have a more in-depth guide written up on installing a GSI on our device, or is there one already available that has similar instructions? I am planning on starting from scratch once I get home, and would like to have all of my ducks in a row before attempting again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Sure, I'll write a deep guide when I get basic stuff sorted out.

For starters, it is:

On TWRP -> Reboot -> Fastboot

Let the device reboot, wait until you see TWRP "entered fastboot"

Check your computer sees the device with

fastboot devices

(retry until it does)

Now erase system and flash a new image:

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system whatever-aosp-gsi-ab-arm64.img

Finally reboot to recovery

fastboot reboot recovery

And format data:

Wipe -> Format data

Now you can reboot to the system. It will work.

I've tested it with Google AOSP builds, PHH builds and LineageOS builds based on PHH.

Bugs you'll find on any GSI build:

1. MTP doesn't work (needs a kernel change)

2. Brightness slider doesn't work (can be fixed easily without kernel change)

3. Probably more that I didn't found yet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Hi. I've updated recovery binaries and added a changelog.

Please report the issues you find.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
Will it work with Pixel Experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
I didn't try. Install instructions are the same for all GSI roms. You can get a big list of GSIs in https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

Some roms are bigger than stock, so you'll need to delete/wipe your product partition first. OP has instructions about it. I personally prefeer to flash an empty product.img instead of deleting the logical partition, to avoid TWRP warnings trying (and failing) to mount the partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
Alright Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
I flashed phhusson's GSI rom but my galaxy tab a7 keeps boot looping
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
I'm trying to flash the ROM I downloaded but I keep getting Sparse errors and when it finishes I get this FAILED (remote: Operation not permitted)

Edit: Maybe this is happening because of the ROM being A only

You need one of the ARM64 AB variants. No matter if it is vanilla, floss or gapps.

I flashed a stock firmware and start from scratch. It works now.

However TWRP is automatically replaced by the stock recovery. I unchecked Auto reboot in Odin but what is the key combo to boot to TWRP?

=> EDIT: Vol Up + Power (nneds a good synchronization :) )

Finally where should I put the product.img in Odin? AP?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] talksickisil:
Thank you so much for these instructions! I am now running pixel experience thanks to your twrp which revives fastboot like a normal android device(at least how I remember) The kernel you posted 2 years ago(lol) doesn't work with android 13 but that's okay! i used the brightness watchdog zip floating around the Galaxy tab A forums here. Again, I just wanted to comment to let you know you made it possible for me to flash gsi and retain wifi networks! I spent so much time on Saturday trying to get a working GSI where the wifi works too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] talksickisil:
I do have one question. If I forgot to flash product.img (went with slim PE gsi) could I flash it right now and not lose the install I already made? Id like to flash it now before I forget again just in case I do install a bigger gsi down the line. Or should I just wait until that time to flash product.img prior to new gsi?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wantowan2:
Hi, i tried to flash a kernel i made but it only made it half way with a lot of permission issues. so after i got it back up and running i just tried to fix file contexts in twrp. But the same files failed. Is there any way to fix permissions? I remember it used to an option in recovery way before SELinux came around.I am rooted by the way.Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] SYHDROID:
Hello xda form and topic owner. I have a question, can I install it on my Android 12 device that I used on (02/22/2024)? I did not touch the device until its warranty expired and the device is now rooted. But can I install TWRP on this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
How do I fix the brightness and pixle experience randomly reboots for me
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Hi.

Reboots (random or not, unless requested by the user) are something I can't reproduce on the GSI builds I've tested. I would suggest to contact upstream about this.

The brightness stuff bugs me, as I can reproduce it in every GSI rom out there. I'll try to report it to phhusson to see if it gets fixed somehow, if not we're going to modify slightly the system.img to work on our devices.

For now you can get it working with just 3 commands, until you reboot your device:

adb shell
su
echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/panel0-backlight/brightness
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
FWIW: I plan to get things sorted out in the near future, when real life gives me a few free hours :)

The block right now is that system and vendor are read only (enforced by dm-verity), so it is not possible to write changes to them within TWRP. I **think** we can fix that building a kernel without verity.

Since a kernel build is something we need to get MTP working in all GSI roms (until https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1121 gets fixed) I plan to work on it too.

Keep in mind I do apps and sysadmin mostly, not roms. If somebody wants to fix out my stuff I would gladly accept patches
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
what firmware are you using? that might be why
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
i what the random reboots are its magisk on some gsis
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Moose84:
Hi.

I have encountered this problem myself with any GSI.

What I learned was that its a watchdog that triggers a shutdown.

This could be "fixed" by Terminal --> su --> "echo 'V' > /dev/watchdog"

Omit the "

This worked for me for a couple of hours until it stopped working.

Maybe there's another watchdog at /dev/watchdog0 - 1 or 2.

Sorry i cannot elaborate it now, at work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
well at least you know of it any way if you come up with the idea maby making a fixing script fixing script that woeld be nice
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
I'm on latest BUJ1. Samsung released yesterday/today kernel sources for this firmware version and I plan to do the required kernel changes on that version too.

I've played a bit yesterday with BUH3 sources and got MTP working, but I wasn't able to load kernel modules from /vendor, so audio and wifi weren't working. I guess that was because the mismatch between kernel source and modules but there's no way to know without testing it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Hi Magendanz. I see you're active on github. If you have a reliable internet could you please create a repo with kernel sources for BUJ1?. That way I can fork your repo and push changes on top of that. Otherwise I won't be able to push the sources. I guess I can release a patch made with diff but that's not the same :/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
if come up with those fixes share them when you have time also thank you for your amazing work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
i also used the script from agreenbhm from his lineage os thing and used the brightness fix
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
am gone do that rn edit: nvm its gone take a hour
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Moose84:
Hi.

Sorry for the big delay.

I have no luck with creating a TWRP flashable zip that will persist a reboot. So the next best thing i came up with was piggybacking a magisk module which (ironically) is the old Init.d injector made by @Zackptg5 (i hope this is okay?).

You will have time to install the module in magisk before the tablet forces a reboot, and I have been running my tablet with Picel Experience for 10+ hours now without a forced reboot.

I truly hope that you find luck with this.

PS. I have yet to thank @paziusss for this fast "-boosted" TWRP. Wonderful work, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
thank you so mutch
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
Maybe that's the reason why my Tablet was rebooting every single time
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
I didn't know about the watchdog. AFAICT it doesn't affect AOSP or LineageOS. These roms seem to signal BOOT_COMPLETED just fine.

Could you please try this kernel? (backup your boot.img first): It is mostly stock with MTP drivers and watchdogs disabled. It should work on any GSI rom, no matter if it is android11 or android12.

If something doesn't work with it and you're not on last firmware (BUJ1) please update the firmware first. It ought to work on previous FW releases too but wasn't tested on them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
does this also fix the slow downs on some gsis
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
maby tweak the kernel if you have time
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
???

If you got slow downs then change the rom. No slowdowns here whatsoever.

No interest at all. Usually people change schedulers and merge commits from somewhere else to "add value". I won't and TBH I have no idea what to do to really enhance the kernel.

My journey ends here, you're welcome improving or changing the kernel as you like. I'm attaching here both the diff against BUJ1 sources and the defconfig used to build the kernel for GSI roms
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
well it happens for me on pixle expeience android 12 and phew others like lineage os (lir) it also eats most of my ram away
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Slow down can be caused by too little available RAM, but the ROM shouldn't be causing lack of RAM. Much more likely to be an app you're running. I know MagicJack phone app does it on one of my tablets. Have to go to /Setting/Apps and notifications to clear the data for the app every now and then. The ROM itself shouldn't use over 10gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
i have notting instaled and it uses 2 gb of ram while it got 3 gb and you say it lacks ram
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
it hapens with fresh install so how can it be a app from me?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
i think you also mixed up storage with ram as am talking about ram
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Seriously, stop. Do read https://www.linuxatemyram.com/ if you want.

At this point GSI builds are not meant for end users in this device.

What we need now is people reporting things that don't work (i.e: bluetooth audio, once paired sound is still routed to tablet speakers) and NOT people whining about non real issues.

Support for certain ROMs in certain versions is out of the scope. If all gets fixed on phhusson builds (a12 at this point) everything should work just fine in all other GSI builds as all of them rely on phh work.

So please report what things don't work in phh. If you want support of your favorite build then start a thread elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wesleyvanneck12345678:
well every thing works fine also i already found out my issue do i had to tab some option phh settings out of the box bluetooth audio doesnt work fixed by going to the dev setting brigtness is buged rotation is by default vertical aux didnt work but taping a phew settings it worked
