[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertonumber1:
Firestick lite based on android 9 ..perhaps not so "fully fledged" as it is polluted by unneccessary amazon junk and telemetry as opposed to a crisp smooth android 9 firmware.

No root or unlock at this moment , like the other devices maybe in the future .

You can use adb to debloat or use techdoctor tool to debloat and block updates .

There is also the custom launcher and screensavers such as aerial views or aerial dreams that can be added to give a nice apple screensaver .

Other than that there is not much to do ...apart from debloat which disables apks rather than root# deleting/uninstalling them there is not really much to do on these devices .

Even with an unlocked bootloader development for Firetv devices is somewhat lacking as developers concentrate on other more popular devices the current Firetv devices seem to be overlooked , much due to unpopularity.

We can only hope the people with the knowledge and skills find the time and interest to turn their attention back to amazon devices , BUT with amazon striving to take apart each modification or exploit via OTA updates it may , just may, be in vain .

Regards
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooMuchSloeGin:
Thanks for that, appreciated. It seems there is no way to run the thing without it first (before anything else goes) doing its rounds of OTA updates. Whether it's worthwhile to block updates afterwards is a good question?!

As to fully fledged, I see what you mean but all that AZ crap is of course ON TOP of a full Android, so all the apps I use on my phones and tablets should work in principle (whether they make sense is a different story). I have installed MiXplorer and a few plugins for a start and also NetGuard as a non-root firewall, though I suppose that will not block certain AZ processes from accessing the internet. OTOH, I am actually not so much the streaming guy (streaming via WAN servers, LAN is a different story) so I may well block the stick's WAN access in my router for most of the time.

I also had the AZ Fire app for Android installed on a phone, to replace the remote but this doesn't work very well and was removed v quickly. I've found sth else which looks much better called Easy Fire Tools (see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.agondev.easyfiretools&hl=en_US&gl=US).

Launcher... should they all work or is there one which is especially good (or bad :-) )?

As to debloating, I'll probably try to find out what is safe to remove and create a sh script with the required adb commands.

Again thanks and looking forward to more interesting things!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooMuchSloeGin:
OK, here's a little more about the things I've been playing with or stuff I've found out. This FTV Stick lite seems to be on OS version 7.2.4.2, and as it seems hard to impossible to root it all that follows should work with all lite sticks.

I have installed MiXplorer (as I always do on new devices) with various plugins and this works very well. I found out that the app will actually read from OTG USB sticks that are NTFS-formatted. Those are not recognised by other apps on the stick (eg Kodi or mpv) but MiXplorer is fine and can, with the images plugin, even play videos from the USB device.

I have added the NetGuard app and blocked all internet access save for the few apps I have installed. Whether this is watertight remains to be seen (all the Amazon apps I've tested are blocked but I am not sure about system stuff like the OTA updater).

For those I have debloated the stick with the com.wolf.fos7.debloater.apk which seems to have done its job. I also have added a few Amazon OTA URLs to my router's dnsmasq configuration. Again, not sure whether this'll work... when the next update is available we'll see :-/

I have also installed bash as the shell, nano (editor), rsync, rclone and a few other binaries from two sources I've been relying on for a while: Zackptg5/Cross-Compiled-Binaries-Android and [NATIVE][ARM]Linux binaries for Android. If there's interest I can explain how and where I installed these.

As launcher I'm using the 1.51 version of the com.amazon.tv.leanbacklauncher.apk and it took me a while to realise that I need the Launcher Manager as well for this launcher to stick. I also added the Mouse Toogle app (v1.06).

Last but not least I've installed ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw.apk for detailed system information about the stick.

So far so good. More to follow if I find more tidbits.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] indago:
I'm still very happy of my XZ1c and it looks like there are no other similar Android phones on the market at the moment, so compact and powerful at the same time. Except I'm constantly struggling against very low internal memory.

Although I've been investigating for long time, I was not able to find any way to move apps to the SD card without rooting the XZ1c till now. Since I'm a newbie to rooting and I'm ok with the original firmware, I wouldn't go for this operation, that I find too complex and risky (to me at least).

So I had an idea: I wonder whether it could be possible to "park" the >RARELY-USED< apps to the SD card temporarily. That is, installing in the internal memory, then "dirty - moving" the app to the SD by moving its files (with a file manager or something like that) so that Android is not informed that the app is not there any more.

Obviously at that point you won't be able to launch the app any more, but my hope is to be able to restore the app later when you need it in the state it was just by moving it back in place.

Since a significant part of the internal memory is taken by apps that I use very rarely but I leave there "just in case" for specific needs... moving those apps back and forth to the SD card could be an acceptable solution.

Do you think it could be feasible?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] TadaFireworks:
Yesterday, on the phone of a relative I successfully installed Lineage OS. The screen worked normally. The next day I got the phone back, because the last ~120px can't be accessed. The touch works, but it registers as if made above the bottom area (attached video shows what happens). The area is exactly the same size as the navigation bar. Curiously, if an app is rotated upside down, the area stays in place, allowing the navbar to be used and blocking the notifications bar.

I am pretty sure the OS has not been updated in the time after it had last worked, only f-droid and aurora store seem to have auto-updated (to their account) and the relative has tried to set up an app for their smart watch after which they reported being unable to get back to home screen. I vaguely remember a similar problem happening on the same model of phone (another phone), on official MIUI, I remember it later going away without my input (probably an update). I wonder if the problem is within the blob drivers.

So, if anyone here knows what this is, what can I do?

Info:

OS: Lineage OS 18.1 (build number: lineage_chiron-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001 10038034)

Has Magisk 23.0

No G-Apps, only MicroG 0.2.22.212658

AdAway uses root, F-Droid has privileged extension and Aurora uses root install

result bootloop in recovery

2nd

guy i found them on telegram @Arhaangsmm , he said that will flash the rom, after paying 55usd, some else tried 2 roms to flash did not work and he lost patience and he went away

result after that phone was completely bricked

Finally i sent to oppo service and was 2x cheaper to flash the rom.

Hi.

I have a faulted Mi A3 (kernel problems). Can I solve with a Custom ROM?
[General Topics] tembares:
Hello,

I searched for a program that disconnects a BT device, such as carkit or headset, when a call is finished.

With disconnecting I mean that the device is not connected anymore at that moment.

So when I have an incoming phonecall, I have to push to connect my BT device to my phone. Then I can pick up the phone with my device.

Who knows were I can find this?

Thanks,

OxygenOS 11.3 A.15 EU Full Stock Firmware for OnePlus Nord 2​

​

R

equirements :​

ADB & Fastboot + Google & MTK drivers

Partitionsbackupper ( @Raygen )

A.15 Firmware ( @AssoDiPicche )

I

nstructions :

Download the .zip and the latest version of PartitionsBackupper.

Download A.15 Firmware, extract it and put all files in the PartitionsBackupper folder.

Reboot your phone in fastboot mode (Power off, than power button + volume down)

Run PartitionsBackupper.bat, choosing the

restore

option

,

to flash all partitions with fastboot.

I reccomend to do a full

data format

with the stock recovery before going back messing around. It usually wipes better than TWRP.

Type on command line "fastboot flashing lock"

Enjoy your brand new OPNord2.

If you use this, you must unlock bootloader and install twrp aftet that.

And then pressing the key combination while powering up.

and then I flashed boot and vbmeta with the fastboot command. After that It finally booted.
