[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] strifej:
If I root, can I use dd to dump all partitions, then use those to downgrade in the future? I have a Duo on Android 10 (just bought off ebay) and want to have a backup plan in case I ever need to downgrade firmware in the future.

Would that even work? Let's say I dump all my partitions now, then if I'm on 12L and I unlock bootloader, can I use fastboot to flash the dumped partitions?
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] wowbro:
This may seem silly but I am curious, Can rooting open the way to these?

Dual sim on unlocked AT&T version?

Longer battery life?

If these two can be achieved somehow, it would bring new life to my Surface Duo
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] ch3mn3y:
You can disbale system apps You dont need and services of all apps (however its easy to break thing with this), so it may end i longer battery life.

But there is no wy to Dual SIM. At least in active way, as modem seems to be supporting only one SIM at a time (You can add more eSIMs, but only one can be online). It doesnt seem to be related to software only.

[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] KitChan:
I've never used an android device in my life and I'm thinking about buying a Surface Duo for things such as Onenote. Other than Firefox, a degoogled photoviewer and an ereader app, I don't intend on running any apps outside the Microsoft app ecosystem

I'm concerned that Android devices are said to send a lot of stalking data to Google, even if you're not using Google apps and services, so I found this guide for removing a bunch of Google stuff from the OS, but it says you can't remove Google Services Framework, Google Mobile Services and Android System WebView without breaking features and non google apps.

It's my understanding that MicroG can be installed over GSF and Bromite Webview over ASW, to get rid of all of the unwanted tracking and keep apps still working, but I need signature spoofing to work.

Is your magisk patched firmware what I need to enable the signature spoofing?

And do I have my research on disabling Google's unwelcome stalking correct?
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] HermitDash:
It's just the clean boot file ripped from an update and ran through Magisk. It'll give you root but I don't think it'll give you signature spoofing as it's just a stock rom. I did find this: https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid which installs as a magisk Module which might help with installing MicroG.

As for the data being sent back to Google you can honestly disable/remove using adb/root the apps you think are pinging back or just work completely offline there's not a ton of Microsoft Apps for Android honestly and there are so many more options that are open source that can do a better job.

Here the builds history: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-history-a3e72e49-8165-4ea6-b490-7fdc2a76c262

steps:

- download from microsoft last build in a bin format, and through this script: https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper

- extracted all images, included the boot.img from the payload.bin in the stock downloaded rom.

- patch and flash it.

- rooted!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ButtonBoy:
First of all, I HAVE googled through this site looking for a solution to my "problem", and I haven't found it.

My problem is with the H/W keyboard layout- specifically the two "soft buttons" at the top. I keep hitting them when typing the R, T, I or O keys, and when I am in the middle of typing emails, it sends my email- and that is NOT what I really wanted to happen.

So the fix would be for the O/S (WM6.1 ATT ROM in my case) to ignore the softkeys on the keyboard all the time. I can live with that, as long as the front buttons are not disabled at the same time. Is there a way I can do that through the registry?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Currently in the UK and gave my USA G781U1 to my mum. Set the device up without local UK SIM card installed don’t recall seeing or selecting an option for region ( no suprise ). After device was setup I inserted the UK sim, all smooth but after installing Uber Eats app it prompted for a zip code instead of post code. Even though the app itself was depicting currency in UK pounds. Any idea why?

I initially thought it was because the region country language was USA but it wasn’t. Cheers.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Alectronik:
After (more or less) successfully flashing my S10 5G (assume S10+ as it has 6.7 Inch display) to a custom ROM, I got nag screens from Knox security telling me it wasn't running the software Samsung wanted it to, dangerous etc. and fiddled around some more, when I accidentally bricked it with a failed Odin transfer.

Now it only shows a turquoise colored screen with a big precaucion icon and the words "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" but I'm not sure to what this exactly refers and whether really Samsung software is prepared to catch up this situation. It does show up in Odin but I can't seem to get it back working.

Any help is much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] DemotionFR:
You can use Samfirm and odin to restore firm :

It explain how to install official ROM and how root , just ignore Magisk install and the AP repatch.

To force download mod , push power and vol - to force restart the phone ... and when the screen going off , push bixby and vol - and directly put the usb cable in the phone from your pc. To valid the download mod press vol +.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Oxymoron:
From the looks of screenshots and Youtube vids and stuff, I realize that the Diamond and Touch Pro's "hardware buttons" (call, end, etc.) and control pad are actually sensors.

So that means we can edit them if we have enough programming skills, right?

I was wondering if we can find a way to make the control pad recognize diagonal input. For example, we can edit it so that if one touches the upper-right portion of the circle, then it would make the Diamond/Touch Pro do an upper-right movement.

It would be the ideal tweak for emulators, and it would eliminate the need for a bluetooth joystick.

I don't have a Diamond or a Touch Pro so I can't test anything that's put out unfortunately... :( (but I will get a Touch Pro on Nov 13th when it comes out for Alltel :D ).

What do you guys think? Can we do it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kemot320:
Yeah, that would be great. There are few threads here about it, but, so far, I'm afraid no one have done an app for this except Capacitivefingerlock...

I'm new to all of this Chinese rom business. Will it take a Global release for a global rom to come out? The main issue I'm having is that Android Auto doesn't come pre-installed with the CN rom.... So no matter what you do, it will not work on your car. Global roms don't have this issue.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Abhi190796:
what is the new feature in this google pixel 6 pro that stand out in the market more then other smart phones
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
Unlockable bootloader if you purchase unlocked.

Magic eraser, but I honestly just see that as software that could be ported anywhere but right now googles implementation seem to work best (compared to Samsung).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skymera:
Eh, lots of other phones let you unlock the bootloader.

Magic Eraser is good, but it's just a gimmick. The effectiveness varies wildly with some results being genuinely impressive and others being truly awful.

Having owned a P6P since release day I can say the amount of bugs Google keep introducing is what makes this phone stand out. Everything else the phone does is mediocre at best.

Skip and wait for S22
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
Ok, they asked for stand out features. You didn't offer a counter. So on this phone that's my opinion of what is offered.

And some regions don't have access to many phones with unlockable bootloaders.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
See above
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skymera:
It was absolutely not a troll post.

Those are my sentiments on those areas you pointed out as 'stand out' having dailied the phone since release day.

And the final line summarises what makes the phone stand out - bugs. Totally accurate and valid.

The genuine bugs are a real issue which are affecting usability for a great number of people. Disappointment in things like Magic Eraser were entirely Google's own doing. They massively overhyped the P6 / P6P with their aggressive ad campaigns and they were unable to deliver.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
I'm totally not interested in defending the phone. I offered my opinion to op whom I thought you initially were which is why I assumed you were so invested in my opinion. And thus I edited my post.

You don't care for the phone. Cool. Doesn't affect what's in my pocket. Have a great day friend.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] s3axel:
Yes they do, but in most cases comes with a penalty !

In general loss of warranty is an issue with many manufacturers as well as loss of functionality (Knox!)

This is where I feel the Pixel is indeed ahead, as unlocking comes without penalties and is easily (and without left-overs) revertable....

And to add on top: maybe because of this if feel the Pixel has very active community development happening in comparison to other devices.....

As to the OP question: I see pure Android as a benefit, plus I like the very well made live translate option !
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sine.:
The killer feature of the Pixel 6 for me is the call filtering feature.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, yes! Good call. I start taking these features for granted, I forget about them.

The Hold for Me feature is great, too. No more MUZAK or annoying distorted sounds they pretend is music, repeating on end for 30 minutes while holding...as long as the business your dealing with is recognized by Google as having a supported hold function - either that or it just sometimes has been a "miss" in auto-detecting that I'm on hold, but that was over a month ago, so not on the January update, and I'm not on hold that often.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fliptwister:
My vote for a single feature is the 4x zoom camera. I'm very impressed with the quality of shots and love being able to have zoom. There is quite a bit about this phone that I like a lot. I got the phone the same day that the Jan. update was released so for me I'm also impressed with how fast the phone is and how well the software works.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Maybe not really a "feature", but for me it's the Tensor chip for 2 main reasons.

1. Integration with AI (for whatever that's worth 🙃), but more importantly,

2. 5 years of security updates (If it was still Qualcomm we would only be getting 3).

My favorite feature is the 20x zoom, but there are other phones out there with better zooms so I wouldn't say this is a standout feature that separates the Pixel 6 series from other phones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
Samsungs also get five years of security updates.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yep, for some of their devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
About 130 devices are planned to be supported for five years. Including any that would directly compete with the p6p. This includes phones that were released prior to the policy change.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yep, S21 series, S20 series, Note 20 series, etc...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
That math doesn't equal to 130 devices.

I mean the s8 was released 2017. It's been updated. How many phones is google currently supporting for 5 years.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I wasn't doing the math, I said "etc..."
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
I guess I don't see a point and not using all the data present. It's great google started doing it but it isn't exactly ground breaking. And it isn't because of tensor.

Just providing data for clarity based on ops question.

I rarely keep a phone for two years so personally i don't care either way.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, I didn't say it was groundbreaking and I wasn't going to list every phone, hence "etc...". And I'm just going by what Google said that the 5 years of security updates is "...thanks to Tensor.".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
And I corrected that statement.... For clarity. Especially since Qualcomm was specifically mentioned.

One might assume it wasn't possible on Qualcomm. And Sammy is doing it on exynos and snapdragon devices.

I don't get the rub here?

Didn't ask you to list other phones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sine.:
Unfortunately, this feature is not available (yet?) in France, and I doubt it could be enabled from the phone somehow, must be processed server side.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
* * * REMINDER * * *

Let's stay on topic please.

The "Sammy is better than Google" thing is done.

Thanks for everyone's cooperation.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Unlockable bootloader and 2x Cortex X1.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pcriz:
Wasn't really about Samsung. It was about a statement implying only 3 years of support on Pixel devices was because of Qualcomm and now the pixel has 5 because it went to tensor/exynos. Which isn't really a true statement. The other manufacturer that happened to do it is irrelevant. And it seemed we were done quite awhile ago.

I'd say it's hard to compare and contrast "stand out features" without discussing the market the phone exists in.
