Yes, I read that in EU it may be available either as Moto Edge 30 Ultra or Moto Edge 30 Pro. Indian release is said to happen on 19th of February, maybe we'll get more info after that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
Hi,

I need a ad free youtube expereince on Fire TV 4k. For this, I installed SmartTubeNext. It does the job fine, but I have one big issue with it.

Its autoplay behavior is different from that of the original Youtube app or Youtbe TV.

I need SmartTube to automatically always be playing some video from the suggestions and not wait for any user input.

Right now SmartTube starts and waits for userinput on what to play.

While I can open SmartTubeNext via intent and tell it to play some specific video. it will play it and then just stop when the que is finished and wait for userinput again.

I do not want SmartTubeNext to wait for any userinput and if not specifically instructed by the user to play any suggested video, unless the user specifically selects a specific video to play.

This is exactly how YouTube TV behaves. You switch it on and it will start playing a video from suggestions right away and play the next suggested video once the first ends indefinitely. Or if you cast a specific video to YoutubeTV, it will automatically play a suggested video after the video that you casted ends. But the downside is that the stock apps show annoying ads.

What I have tried so far:

1. Posted an issue on github and asked for this suggestion to be implemented. Unfortunately there are also others, who want the opposite. They want every video to play only when they want. SO the suggestion has not been implemented yet.

2. I tried compiling the code on linux with the hope to modify code like "onSuggestedItemClicked" or "onFinish" to set the player to keep playing a suggested video. But as the compiling fails with error "buildStorigDebug" does not exist, I failed in compiling. Also on the github there are amny who struggle to compile STN.

3. I tried decompiling and modifiying the code, with dex but fail as I'm totally lost in the code.

Anyone can help me and tell me how to implement this simple feature into SmartTubenext?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to buy a replacement Pixel 2 XL since my current one has a dying power button.

For a smooth transition I'd like to use a nandroid backup from one device to the other.

I already did that once with my Nexus 6 and also used the replacement to upgrade from the 32 to the 64 GB version.

Is this storage update with a nandroid backup also possible with the Pixel 2 XL?

Yes because the pixel is only 12mp so gcam is only programmed for 12mp. It sucks, even if we flash a custom rom we can't get anx camera and 48mp fix magisk module to work on Android 12. However the module does work a little bit on Android 11 custom roms for Poco F3.

[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
I eagerly installed the Dec 2021 update on my Pixel 6 a couple of weeks back - hoping to improve the FP pass rate.

But I am convinced its gotten worse.

It seemed better at first - but soon deteriorated...

Since the update, whilst it still unlocks on the 1st attempt occasionally, I am finding far more instances where it completely fails to recognise my FP and I am forced to put my PIN number in to unlock.

Prior to the update, it would unlock more often on the 1st attempt - otherwise it may have taken 2-3 attempts to unlock and very rarely I would have to enter the PIN.
[Google Pixel 6] karmacoma7:

I am not sure where you are located geographically, but in the northern hemisphere it is now winter. As such the overall humidity levels (particularly indoors) tends to be very low and skin is drier. What you may be seeing is your skin seasonally drying out - and the P6 is terrible at reading dry fingerprints.

As you will note, I mentioned that multiple OnePlus phones with screen based sensors worked fine for me.

I am also aware that back sensors use different tech - the point was that cheapo bottom of the range phones have no problems with fingerprints - so why does my £600 phone not work as well. It's not good enough.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy A6+ with latest fw installed.

(italian version)

A605FNXXU7CUD4

The phone is totally useless after the update to android 10, it takes AGES to perform any action, even open the Camera or open a Message.

Already tried to wipe everything, hard reset, reinstall fw. Still useless.

Since I’d like to downgrade to Android 9 to have back a useful phone, I tried to install the latest Android 9 fw with Odin.

A605FNXXS5BTB1

But it fails, saying SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 7 > Binary 5

What can I do?

Is there any chance to downgrade this phone?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
1. Unlock your bootloader.

2. Flash custom recovery for your device.

3. Go to custom recovery (TWRP) and flash any downloaded custom rom (for your device), GSI or save stock firmware as flashable zip with tool like ClassyKitchen.

4. Flash Magisk or RMM-bypass-v3 in TWRP to protect your bootloader from getting locked again.

Backup your personal data at first, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Almost done, but I can't find any custom rom available for download. Can someone help? Since wwith twrp I cannot install a stock rom. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
I managed to flash a so called Ari's rom, but I think the phone is now bricked. It is on bootloop on the first screen of Samsung (with phone name and so on) and with SET WARRANTY BIT : KERNEL at top left. I think it is time to trash it 🙃 or does someone have any hint? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
I proposed three different options: custom rom, GSI (generic system image) or conversion stock firmware to flashable form. If there's no good custom rom for A6+, then don't worry - you can still try another options. Try playing with Generic System Images:

1. Flash your current stock firmware as usual in Odin.

2. Unlock bootloader and flash TWRP.

3. Go to TWRP.

4. Wipe partitions cache, dalvik, data, system (don't wipe vendor partition - it's needed).

5. Flash GSI image (recommended will be at first phhusson's AOSP (Android 9 or 10)) as "system image". You always need to choose and download "arm32_binder64" variant of img file.

6. Reboot to your new system.

Second option is to convert stock Android 9 firmware into flashable form.

1. Download ClassyKitchen tool.

2. Import downloaded Android 9 stock firmware (for your phone) into it and save it as flashable zip.

3. Go to TWRP.

4. Wipe cache, dalvik, data, system and vendor.

5. Flash your previously done zip with Android 9 as any other flashable zip in TWRP.

6. Flash Magisk or RMM-state-bypass-v3 in TWRP to prevent your bootloader from getting locked again.

7. Reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
I went for the second option, in Classykitchen I loaded the stock android 9 rom and selected

BUILD ZIP ROM (for recovery).

Then installed with TWRP following your wipe indications.

Success.

But when I went to install RMM-state-bypass-v3 I got the error impossile to mount /system.

So I rebooted twrp and before anything I manually mounted SYSTEM in twrp in the dedicated MOUNT menu, and I did everything again from wipe to install.

Is this procedure correct?

Success, success also for RMM-state-bypass-v3.

I rebooted but I'm again stuck in the same loop described in my previous reply.

When I selecr REBOOT in twrp, do I have to flag anything? For example System?

Regarding the first option, if I go there:

Releases · phhusson/treble_experimentations

Notes about tinkering with Android Project Treble. Contribute to phhusson/treble_experimentations development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

exactly which file do I have to download among ASSETS of any release?

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Yes, it's correct. If RMM bypass or Magisk.zip was flashed without any errors in TWRP then everything is okay. Just reboot to system in TWRP after that - there is option to reboot directly to system. First boot always can take a bit longer than next boots.

You always need to get any "arm32_binder64" (always AB) image. Gapps or vanilla is just your choice. Just get Android 9 or 10 image and flash it as "system image" (but wipe at first partitions specified in my previous post - don't wipe only Vendor partition, because it contains important things). Android 12 GSI still aren't stable. Android 11 - maybe will work properly. Android 9 and 10 should work fine. There is even short article about GSI on Galaxy A6+ with some fixes for that device attached:

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Thank you very much, appreciated.

But something weird happens: I install the ROM with success. If then I try to install Magisk (or Rmm) it fails with error 7.

And twrp says No Os installed if I reboot.

But if I try to install Magisk after rebooting into twrp after installing the ROM it goes without errors.

But anyway I have the issues of No Os installed.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
You need to reboot to recovery after flashing new system, because just after flashing TWRP doesn't recognize it - that is why you see that "no OS installed". Just reboot your phone to recovery again (you have such option in TWRP). In case of GSI (except maybe CAOS, LineageOS Q/R mod) Magisk or RMM bypass is not needed.

Btw, in case of any problems with hardware support on GSI flash also that patch in TWRP (it may be needed to mount "Vendor" partition in TWRP before flashing that fixes):

Fixes.zip

drive.google.com
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Thank you again for your help.

I already rebooted to recovery and twrp keeps saying NO OS.

I'm using twrp 3.5.2_10-0.

I'm starting to suspect that this behaviour is due to the fact that this version of twrp could be too much new and unstable for my phone.

So I'd like to install an older version of twrp with Odin, as explained here:

TWRP for SM-A605FN Samsung Galaxy A6+

TWRP for SM-A605FN Samsung Galaxy A6+

www.recovery-mode.com

But I cannot manage to go into download mode again, even from REBOOT menu of twrp it doesn't work, I keep staying in the loop explained before.

Moreover your first option of GSI need me to go into download mode to install the latest stock ROM with Odin.

I just manage to get into the attached screen.

Any idea?

Thank you again
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
It's not possible to ignore that message and just flash latest stock firmware via Odin? Odin refuses flashing latest stock firmware?

Other builds of TWRP for your devices you'll find here:

Releases · Royna2544/TWRP_device_samsung_a6plte

Contribute to Royna2544/TWRP_device_samsung_a6plte development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

But don't use TWRP older than 3.4.0, because it doesn't have support for "Vendor" partition.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Yes, I managed to ignore that screen and go in download mode again.

I tried to follow your first option since the second one was not successful.

Installed latest stock and then twrp 3.5.0-1.

Wipe as you explained, I flash the Gsi

system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps.img

The flash is very fast, but no errors, is it normal?

After that I reboot to recovery in order to flash

Disable_DM-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020

it goes but just at the end it gives the error

failed to mount /odm no such file or directory.

And if I reboot to system the phone loops as always.

I'm losing all hope...
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
It's okay, but it's possible that you'll always need "vndklite" images for working camera.

If you flashed it as "System Image" and it was successful then yes - should be fine. DM-Verity isn't needed for GSI - only RMM bypass v3 is sometimes needed (on CAOS, Lineage Q/R mod and maybe in case of some other images). On usual A600FN RMM bypass is not needed on phhusson AOSP. Just format "Data" partition (format, not only wipe) - it will remove encryption for you.

Procedure of flashing should be like that:

1. Wipe: cache, dalvik, data, system ("Vendor" partition leave untouched, because it's important for GSI - that is why you needed to flash stock firmware at first, because it adds vendor files for your phone, but it's needed only once, just don't wipe "Vendor").

2. Flash your GSI as "System Image".

3. Reboot phone (to recovery again).

4. Mount your "data", "vendor" and "system" partition.

5. Flash your zips: RMM bypass v3 (optionally Magisk).

5. Reboot to your new system now.

In case of any hardware support problems, reboot to TWRP again, mount "Vendor" partition and flash that fixes:

Fixes.zip

drive.google.com

Try to boot Android 10 or Android 9 images. If it will succeed, then you can try flashing Android 11 images and check what works, and what not. According to that article
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
I don't know what are those images. Can you explain better?

When I proceed with RMM bypass V3 I see the errors in the attached image. It seems like there is a problem in writing to /system.

Can this be related to the hardware support problems you mentioned?

I tried with different versions of Twrp already and with Havoc Os too.

Should I try with flashing a different ROM ?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Just look at filename of system images. But as I see, it's apparently important on Android 11 and newer. For now, try to boot Android 10 or 9. Let's try with that image:

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/download/v222/system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img.xz

1. Decompress that image.

2. Copy to SD card or to internal storage.

3. Wipe cache, dalvik, data, system.

4. Format data partition (it's needed only once).

5. Flash downloaded and extracted file as "System Image".

6. Reboot phone to recovery (again).

7. Select in TWRP: Mount -> system, data, vendor.

8. Flash RMM bypass v3 (or Magisk).

9. Reboot now to system.

10. In case of some things not working, go back to TWRP and mount vendor partition (Mount -> tick "Vendor" -> go back to flashing zips) and flash that:

Fixes.zip

drive.google.com

11. Reboot to system again and check if now everything works properly.

Yes, because you need to mount that partitions in TWRP:

Mount -> tick "system", "vendor" and "data" - and now flash whatever you want.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
The only "receipt" which isn't giving installation errors is following your last instructions but avoiding to reboot to recovery after ROM flash (used Vanilla), and using Magisk v22 with unticked the line called "skip digest check" . See attached images.

Anyway, still no success to get into android.

Also tried fixes.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Maybe I have to try with sideload ?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Everything seems to be okay in your photos. What happens when you press "Reboot System"?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
The phone goes into loop with the attached screen and black screen alternatively.

On the top you can see SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL, it should be normal right?

Do I have to set something inside MOUNT of twrp before rebooting to system?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
I've never had such problem, but according to that thread it seems that it's a fault of modified kernel (so don't flash Magisk with GSI, because it patches kernel).

Try to flash stock firmware, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, format "data" partition, wipe partitions (cache, dalvik, system, data) and flash GSI image as "system image". And reboot to system.

Don't flash RMM and Magisk for now - and check if system will run properly.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Hello, I exactly followed your instructions. The result is that after reboot for the first time the sentence SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL isn't present. Very good!

But the phone stopped at the attached screen. I didn't press any button since I just wait for your opinion.

I used the GSI Rom

system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps.img

Thanks again pal !
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Why phone is in download/Odin mode? It's still connected to PC?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
No. But still showing download mode. I'm confused.

I tried with different button combinations but the phone always reboots to the Samsung A6 screen for some seconds, then it stops at the previously attached screen.

Always no WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL is shown.

Do I have to try by flashing a different GSI Rom? Or something inside Twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Yes, you can try another GSI's (arm32_binder64), maybe it's fault of that release, I don't know. However it looks like something is still blocking proper booting. But try to wipe /system partition in TWRP and flash other images (for example Resurrection Remix or Havoc).

I'm out of ideas, for now. Maybe someone other will help more with that.
