[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] etsai3:
Spend the whole day looking through websites such as Magisk and TWRP as well as bunch of YouTube videos. I have unlocked the bootloader via DC Unlocker (Paid $4.50). For the most part, I have Magisk Manager installed but have no idea how to get Magisk itself installed via a boot image from their website.

Specs on Magisk shows Ramdisk: Yes, A/B: No, SAR: No.

Skipping that part, I did try a few of the img files on TWRP for Huawei Honor 8. Used the Minimal ADB and Fastboot steps. On the last step to "adb reboot recovery", it gets stuck on the loading screen and never reaches the TWRP screen. Any idea?

My end goal is to only use this phone for spoofing on Pokemon Go. That's all.

Even though it is for Honor View 10, it works for Honor 8 on android 8
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] etsai3:
Thank you for the reply. I actually did stumble on the Android 7 link that you just posted. Though it's a complete mess now. After many more hours of trying to follow up guides, I did get TWRP recovery to work and to get there I always have to use the command on ADB. Following another guide I did get SuperSU to install. Then the bad news was Pokemon Go doesn't work with SuperSU and only Magisk. Though I haven't been able to get Magisk to work prior to trying SuperSU.

Then I tried Magisk-v23.0.zip again and I got the TWRP 1 Error. Probably the only way to fix it would be to unroot SuperSU and then try Magisk again. Not sure what I did next but phone keeps automatically booting into TWRP recovery (unable to boot to regular ROM, I did not backup or know how to backup).

Looking through the ROM forums with no experience, I assumed I just need to flash any of the ROMs for Honor 8 and then restart and see if I can get Magisk to work. Unfortunately, I tried a few such as: ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20170106-frd, aicp_frd_n-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-20170704 but none were flashing correctly (I think something about MD5).

Unfortunately, now when I boot up phone (see the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen), then it stays pitch black. Usually it would start up the phone afterwards or in the recent case was directly to TWRP recovery. I sort of gave up for now.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CHECK_123:
Some of the roms for Honor 8 does not give like a custom Vendor partition. You should use this rom

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-7-1-2-openkirins-rros-v5-8-4-for-honor-8-update-12-08-2017.3606257/

Make sure you download the one that says "Full Version" 5.8.3, because it installs a custom Vendor partition.

Make sure to Format Data before installing.

Also after installing, you should press the button that clears "Dalvik Cache" so that you do not get stuck in boot logo.

Also to disable Forced Encryption so that the "Data" partition does not get encrypted when you boot the rom so that you can backup "Data" partiton, install this after installing the rom:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] etsai3:
Thanks. I will have to revisit this another time. Since my phone was stuck in a loop after trying the other ROMs, I tried the eRecovery by Huawei and now it's just stuck on the loading screen. I think it also completely wiped out everything so I have to unlock bootloader again. I forgot the steps as well besides having the unlock code through DC Unlocker (I watched some video for this step but couldn't find it).

But either way, it's just stuck on loading screen. lol Frustrating to root just for Pokemon Go.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CHECK_123:
Okay! I also would recommand saving the bootloader code, just incase DC Unlocker stops working.

I think that "download latest firmware" button in eRecovery might download the android 8 emui firmware instead of android 7 emui firmware.

I think that the first boot takes a long time on EMUI, is really stuck in the loading screen? Maybe you have to wait maybe 15-20 minutes for it to boot.

I think that you did not have to restore using eRecovery, the roms that you flashed might have edited maybe the boot, vendor and system partitions. And that could of been fixed by flashing the RROS 5.8.3 full version because it edits all boot, vendor, and system partitions.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] etsai3:
Yes, I actually did save the bootloader code, I just don't remember what I did / the steps to unlock the phone.

You are right about the 20 minute wait. After waiting for 20 minute, it allowed me to factory reset everything (Still Android 7.0).

I see. I have no idea about these ROM stuff and only you responded since last Wednesday. lol

So my steps should be to:

1. Unlock the bootloader again (I need to try to find the steps)

2. Install TWRP 3.1.1.1

3. Try to flash Magisk-v23.0.zip (Haven't been able to get this flashed for some reason)

4. I think there's another step called Smali Patcher or something, this was in the spoofing guide for Pokemon Go (Haven't gone that far yet to try)

So I actually probably don't need the RROS 5.8.3 ROM. I think.

EDIT:

I unlocked bootloader flashed the TWRP but TWRP recovery doesn't pop up this time. Hm.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CHECK_123:
When trying to boot into TWRP using "Power + Volume Up", make sure that the phone is not connected to the charger, or to the computer. That might be the reason why TWRP mignt not be popping up.

After that, TWRP should boot up.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] etsai3:
Thank you. The Power + Volume Up worked. Got Magisk installed. Just haven't figured out the last steps to get Pokemon Go spoofing to work.

When I was browsing on chrome my tab automatically restarted but I didnt mind it much. **** got real when it once again restarted and then fell in a reboot loop. I just threw it and thought it will automatically fix itself and it did. AND it was a false alarm, the tab stopped restarting again and again for perhaps 10 min then it once again restarted but this time it was mucn more serious. It didnt start back up and kept vibrating. I tried to power it up but it failed.

It isnt booting but keeps vibrating, any solution other than going to repair center?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.Haroon Mahsud:
I am new to xda and this is my first thread so if this thread is not in the right place sorry for that.

Now i want to port the stock camera app from the stock firmware [my phone (Infinix Zero 8, Mediatek G90T MTK6785) running android 10-Q,] to custom rom/ GSI Pixel Blaster based on android 11.

Any advice/help is greatly appreciated.

1. The idea that i have is to extract the apk from the stock firmware,

2. Find the libraries associated with the apk using lib check app from google play

3. Zip them together and create a flashable zip.

The reason for porting is that my phone has a quad-camera setup 64MP main camera, 8MP Ulrawide, and 2 MP depth and 2MP depth now all the other camera apps from custom ROMs and google play only detects one camera 16MP. similarly for the front camera.

Original Guide by @kusti420

- make sure you have your stock rom by hand, and in case youre also using a new mediatek device make sure you also have mtk-bypass utility and sp flash tool by hand just in case or any other way of restoring your stock rom

you cant have magisk patched boot image installed unless you have also flashed a different product img

- under developer options enable oem unlocking

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot flashing unlock

- fastboot flashing unlock_critical

- fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

- fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

- fastboot reboot fastboot

- fastboot flash product product_gsi.img (Download product from here- https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-magisk-on-gsi-on-devices-with-dynamic-partition.4311045/)

- fastboot flash system system.img (must be arm64 A/B)

- fastboot erase userdata

-gsi should boot now (firstboot takes time)

- do not format in TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-twrp-3-5-2-for-infinix-zero-8-x687.4303243/) erase userdata in fastbootd mode not in bootloader but fastbootd mode

______________________________________________________________

Some Problems

1. Old Fastboot drivers will cause incomplete flashing and you will not get error

To see if you have old drivers type adb reboot fastboot if device reboots to fastboot d then ok if device reboots to bootloader or simple reboot then old drivers​

2. Incorrect GSI files

3. bootloops or stuck at bootmight be caused by not doing fastboot erase userdata

I have tried a bunch of roms and I cant seem to get palms threaded messaging working with the manilla 2d.

I really dislike the wm6.1 messaging.

My only problem is that the message doesnt show when I scroll to the messages button. but when i get a new message it does show on the count.

right now im using PDACornerUltimate.V5-20759

*edit* the text messaging and everything works i just want it to show on that screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
Palm sms takes over your regular sms function if i remember correctly, which means that to get it to show in manila2D then you'd need to do modify the actual manila application. Since you didn't know that, i'd say it's safe to assume that is beyond your abilities, and i don't think anyone probably thinks that it's worth it. I may be wrong of course, but i think you're just going to have to choose one or the other.

For future reference, this question should have been posted in any of the threads about manila2D or int he thread for the rom that you are using.

[Google Pixel 6] SmilingPeace:
Good evening, I have been the owner of a Pixel 6 for about a week. Now I have noticed a small graphics error in this regard. When selecting a message (for example on Discord) small white pixels appear on the display. For understanding I also attach a short video where you can see the pixels. This is not only on Discord. I also notice it on Telegram for example....

The bug bothers me a lot as a perfectionist. Is there any way to fix this bug?

I would also be happy to receive any other tips about my Pixel 6. I have already loaded a custom kernel, which I am very happy with. But the error was also present before loading the kernel. As I said before, I'm happy to take tips and tricks here as well. For example, I was also advised against a custom ROM. Is that really useless or can I get more experience and performance out through another Rom?
[Google Pixel 6] gnite6:
Took me a while to spot it. I might be wrong, but I believe that's a feature, not a bug. It's similar to the animation that appears when you plug in the charger and in some other places around the OS.

Your guess can be right.

I hate this "feature", haha.
[Google Pixel 6] wolfeyes30:
Animation or the pointer circle?

[General Questions and Answers] coocooc:
I found that most LTE tablets nowadays come without the phone feature (just data over LTE). Is this a hardware restriction as the LTE modems used therein are limited or is this just missing software to avoid regulatory procedures?

If the latter is true, did anybody try to enable the phone feature on such a restricted tablet?

Is the driver for the LTE modem hidden in a binary blob or is this part of the OS stack?

The freeze looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/jelcWFR.mp4

If your device freeze like that, it's probably the same bug.

I've seen this issue discussed multiple times on reddit.com/r/GooglePixel but no one found the root cause of the issue: here, here2, and other threads.

How to temporary fix the bug

Disable all accessibility features from Settings -> Accessibility.

Disable Voice Access, Accessibility shortcut, and all the other accessibility apps, features or services. System or downloaded apps, doesn't matter, disable all of them.

How to fix the bug

Unfortunately, this can be done only by Google. The bug is inside the Google Android 12 for Pixel 6/6 Pro.

Star this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/212049949 to increase the chance of Google fixing it.

How to reproduce the bug

The touch input (looks like the screen) will freeze for 1-2 seconds each time the battery drops 1% when there is an accessibility service enabled with "canPerformGesture" permission.

Steps:

Enable any Accessibility Service/Feature that has "canPerformGesture" permission (an accessibility service that can tap on the screen on behalf of user).

You can try this dummy app that does nothing, it only triggers the bug: pixel_6_accessibility_service_freeze_bug_v1.apk

Use your device normally and when the battery drops 1% the touch input will freeze for 1-2 seconds and then will unfreeze and do rapidly all the touches registered in the freeze period.

Dummy App to reproduce the bug

The Dummy app I created it is available here: https://github.com/micku7zu/PixelAccessibilityLag

APK available here: pixel_6_accessibility_service_freeze_bug_v1.apk

It does absolutely nothing with the accessibility service, just requests the permission to trigger the bug. You can check the accessibility service code here: https://github.com/micku7zu/PixelAc...cessibilitylag/PixelAccessibilityService.java

Disclaimer

I don't own a Google Pixel 6 or 6 Pro. I'm a developer of an app that needs accessibility services to work and a user reported this strange issue to me when he has my app enabled in Accessibility settings. We've worked together and found the root cause of the issue and created the issue on Google Issue Tracker.

[Google Pixel 6] shadokreeper:
I had the same issues but I believe it's a bug in the restore from backup.

What I did was, I updated to the December update, backed up all of my app data manually and did a factory reset. When setting up the phone, DO NOT restore your backup from Google One. Instead, set up the phone as new.

What I realized was that if you tried to restore from a Google Restore backup that was done on the initial release of Android 12, then you may have the touch screen issue because the restore seems like it's overwriting a config or something in the updated version of Android 12 and you're going to keep having the issue.

Hopefully this helps some of you guys out.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Kitt3120:
Hey, I just registered to come here and say thank you! This was driving me crazy. My old Pixel 3 XL was also lagging and I thought that it would just be a bit old and bloated. When I switched to my Pixel 6 Pro and had lags again, I was very disappointed and thought that it really would have something to do with my specific setup, so I uninstalled heavy apps like MacroDroid and Gravity Screen, but it didn't help. As I said, at this point it was really driving me crazy and I just lived with it. To see the explanation of the bug and that it happens every time the battery percentage drops was just such a relief! It all makes sense now. I will have to live with it until Google fixes it, cause I really need all my apps that have accessibility services. Again, thanks so much!

Edit: Disabled my apps for a quick test. Indeed, the phone does not lag anymore when the battery drops. I enabled just your test app and it lags again on battery drop. This is so weird. It's being said that Google fix many bugs in the January update, I hope this is one of them. That would be really quick tho, so I guess it will be in the February update?
