[Sony Xperia 10 III] wirespot:
I think I understand the idea behind the device-specific Treble system, and the device-agnostic GIS images, which can work on any phone that has Treble. The app "Treble Check" says that the Sony Xperia 10 III is fully supported.

Here's my questions / educated guesses, please tell me if they're wrong or right:

1. This phone already comes with a Treble-compliant hardware layer (kernel+drivers) and GSI-compliant user-facing ROM, directly from Sony.

2. I can install any other GSI ROM (or from XDA) as long as it's an A/B arm64 ROM, and the hardware should work perfectly.

3. Can the phone still get OTA vendor updates for the hardware stuff after I unlock bootloader/install 3rd party GIS, or do I have to get the new images and flash them manually? Or do I get cut off from them altogether?

4. The original bootloader can take commands from the standard fastboot util in the Android SDK Platform Tools.

5. I understand I need to unlock the bootloader in order to be able to flash anything, but why is it necessary to overwrite the vbmeta partition?

6. Is the procedure to get Magisk working still patching the bootloader, regardless what GSI ROM I install?

7. Did anybody pass Safety Net with Magisk and a 3rd-party GIS ROM? Can it be passed anymore after unlocking bootloader?

8. I see there's no TWRP recovery for this device. Does it matter? Are there alternatives? In theory, if I have Magisk->root I can do pretty much anything so it doesn't sound like a big deal.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] wirespot:
Yes.

In theory. In practice it still depends on how the GSI ROM was implemented, there can still be issues.

Not totally sure about this one. I think you don't get to install OTA updates anymore. You can probably download a new firmware with XperiFirm and flash pieces of it but no idea how that would work or what would happen.

Yes. Sony did a great job going for standard things.

The original vbmeta partition contains a mechanism that checks for the other partitions to not be modified. The image downloaded from Google disables that mechanism, so you can put whatever you want on any partition.

Yes, it's for the best. A large amount of what Magisk does is based on it being "hidden" from the regular system. Not just for hiding from SafetyNet, since you may not care about that with a 3rd party GSI ROM, but because keeping system modifications separate and keeping the original ROM is a very, very good practice.

You can pass SafetyNet on the stock ROM, with unlocked bootloader and boot image patched to load Magisk. See my how to guide. I don't know about 3rd party GIS ROMs.

I've looked into this some more. The biggest downsides seem to be inability to restore backups of the userdata, and inability to disable problematic Magisk modules. There are modules such as Magisk Bootloop Protector which will disable all modules if it detects a bootloop, but if the problem is not a bootloop and still prevents your access you're out of luck...

Please feel free to add more info.
[General Accessories] BlueMoon.Shadow:
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.

I recently bought an inexpensive bluetooth headset from Germany, and I've been trying to get it to work with my phone (HTC Magician, O2 branded, recent firmare) for audio streaming. It works fine for calls, but I'd like to get all the audio from the magician to stream to the headset. I've downloaded and installed the new bluetooth stack from here, and that got me a little further than before. However, whenever I try to play some audio (for example, through WMP), it fails to connect to the headset for streaming, and tells me so. In the control panel, I'm unable to select my headset on the audio tab as the default device, because it doesn't show up in the list. Ideas, anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Accessories] nandowong:
try going into bluetooth pref. then click and hold on your device name until it pops up and select edit. then check the boxes for the headset service you want to use
[General Accessories] BlueMoon.Shadow:
All I get on the edit screen is the box to change the device's display name, and a cancel button.

EDIT: my firmware versions are as follows:

R 1.12.00

G 1337.42

D 1.13.00 WWE

Also, I have applied the BigStorage hack.

EDIT 2: It seems I have a headset that doesn't support A2DP, so I'm not sure if it's at all possible to stream non-phone-call audio into it. I should have read further into the above-linked thread before posting; sorry.

Anyway: is it possible to stream audio to a non-A2DP headset? (help still greatly appreciated ;) )

Bug on dark mode.

Individual setting does not appears

.

Only one .
[Xiaomi Mi 11] extazy9999:
Dark mode can't set individual apps, auto brightness also more sensitive in fluorescent light room, wifi seems slower than before (they reduce transmission rate?). So far, not happy with this update, 12.5.11 was the best
[Xiaomi Mi 11] gavelis:
Dark mode was finally "repaired". Dark mode in 12.5 broke some apps which even had native dark mode. With Xiaomis "forced dark mode" often buttons, text fields etc were not visible as the programming of Xiaomi dark mode was pretty bad. Now the programmer of an app is responsible for dark mode, which makes much more sense imho. And this was/is the standard outside of Xiaomi universe.

My expierience on 13.0.4.0 EU ROM on Mi 11:

Notifications sound volume seems to be tied to media volume for SOME apps (not all)! wasn´t the case on 12.5.

Making it impossible for me to mute games / videos but to hear notifications.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Kerplunk83:
I tried all custom roms possible and no one have sound, only with earphones.

I'm pretty sure it's note mo phone defective because was working before and didnt drop on the floor.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] ianos21:
I have the same phone and have discovered the same problem after flashing any of the Android 11 custom ROM. No sound from speaker/ringer/media (except headphone jack). I found one suggested solution here, the last reply to the AOSPK ROM thread. The solution was to place 4 files into vendor/etc. I tried that and sure enough I got sound back with those ROMs but it broke the phone call function, couldn't make calls, dialers just ended call as soon as I tried to connect. Maybe this will work for someone else. Maybe someone else has a better solution. I'll try just replacing one file at a time and see if I can figure it out. If you find a solution let us know.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] ianos21:
Oh and the easiest way to get back to stock is to use the Motorola Rescue assistant tool here. Just put your phone into bootloader mode and the Motorola tool will detect the phone, download the latest stock firmware and restore the phone.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] ianos21:
Okay, I found the fix. From stock I installed AOSPExtended ROM from the Moto G6 Play forum. Initially everything seemed to work but no audio.

The fix reported in my last post, linked to the Telegram group was:

"For sound, add these 4 files to vendor/etc"

mixer_paths.xml

audio_platform_info.xml

audio_platform_info_jeter_p0.xml

mixer_paths_jeter_p0.xml

"

Copying all 4 files caused audio to work but cell calling broke.

Copy only the first 2 files without 'jeter_p0' in the name and audio was fixed and nothing else broke. Happy now. I assume this will fix the same problem with all the Android 11 roms I installed that caused this problem.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] MrDre00:
I'm a n00b so I hope you can please excuse my ignorance but how did you copy the files to that folder? And how did you get the files from the source? Also does it fix the rotation? as I have a rotation problem as well

OK its within TWRP didn't know that, file manager
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] david3709:
Hi, friend.

I tried your solution, but it did not work on my phone, jeter xt-1922-9, i flashed pixel experience plus or lineage os 18.1, no one working on audio. no sound incoming call, no sound on youtube video.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Kerplunk83:
Good news, at last, i've returned from the dead and retry to fix sound problem or no sound at all.

First of all i would like to thank Demiurge for clarifying some things and also help ped me fix this sound problem.

As you might read previously, my case was no sound at all whatever rom i tried, except stock rom from Motorola using their repair tool and updating to stock pie.

Here's the solution;

1- Follow all instruction from the beginning mentionned in this forum, e.g; decrypt, unlock bootloader, flash the rom of your choice, now we get to the important things.

2- Root using magisk. for an Android 11 rom i used v27.0. Method used, flashing zip with twrp 3.6 jeter. After flashing, reboot, install apk if app not present. Open magisk app to finish install, method used, direct. Reboot.

If you want you can still install SuperSU, https://supersuroot.org/download/ .

3- Now this is the crucial very important part/step, install any root explorer of your choice and copy those 4 files mentionned above, for practical purpose here the link again;

sound fix for jeter is here: https://t.me/JeterAljeter/33477

Copy those 4 files in /vendor/etc/ while making sure you mounted it rw to be able actually to copy them or move em there. I would suggest to copy instead of moving, imo.

You will probably be asked to overwrite certain files if you did everything correctly, accept overwrite.

Confirm by checking the date of the files.

4- REBOOT and experience the magic.

Briefly, where i failed previously, probably others too, is you have to be rooted and copy those 4 sound files while boot in the OS / System. DO NOT USE TWRP to copy files because it wont work.

I attached the root explorer app i used for this with again those 4 audio/sound files.

Only small little thing is maybe you'll have a "crackling sound" if sound volume is very high. Don't worry, calling works perfectly and audio jack too.

Here it is! Hope this will work for you too :)

No Answer ?????????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Try to flash with your SHIPPED STOCK ROM... This has a small chance of success, no guarantees...

Untick "Allow USB Connections" in Active Sync settings.

Go into Bootloader on Hermes and attach to PC on USB.

Doubleclick RUU_Wrapper.exe and follow the prompts...

If it doesn't restore your Radio ROM then you may need to use the Rom Koch tool (available through search on wiki) to remove the radio ROM out of the flash so you can at least use it as a PDA. Also, install Hard SPL onto it after recovery.

There is a major problem with recovering the Radio ROM that doesn't seem to be solvable. Good luck cos you're gonna need it...

Cheers...:D

If you are here I bet you like your galaxy phones or you are like me and like have a powerful phone that is small... Ish.

(I've posted a similar thread for the Xiaomi side)

I am coming from an amazing old Zuk z2 pro... Which is a similar size as the galaxy s22 but is missing all those new cool things...

So it is time to change and update (I think).

I have rooted NSTV device with Android11, when I connect my external HDD (ext4 formatted) to it, the device notify me the HHD not supported.

I can mount the HDD successfully:

The root privileged file manager apps can read & write to HDD (Root-Explorer or Solid-Explorer)

Very similar than Xiaomi 12 but without wireless charging and prosessor is Snapdragon 870

But you are right it should be added to the comparison.

Yeah right.. I forgot that news. They really should global launch that too.

I'd say go with Xiaomi 12 pro. Comes with snapdragon 8 gen 1 processor and 120 W charger.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] emilic:
Well my main reason to compare the Xiaomi 12 and Galaxy S22 is their size... Going to the Xiaomi 12 pro I get a full 1cm more of awkward handling phone for taste and pockets...

Even when comparing the Xiaomi 12 and Galaxy S22, I have a 6mm difference in height... which I am willing to take (i guess) as long as I put a really really thin protection case (or none) on the Xiaomi 12.

But for the sake of this comparison, anything bigger than the Xiaomi 12 is out of scope ^^ :-p (includes the Xiaomi 12 pro and the Galasy S22 +

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] elmaquinadeamor:
I have just received my S22 ultra and loving it so far.

I am coming from the Note 10+ and there was this native app called "write on pdf" which i always found very handy for signing and annotating documents. So i always chose this over acrobat because acrobat was always so bloated and had too many pop-ups to purchase the premium version.

I can't find write on pdf in the S22 so i was wondering if it can be installed on this phone. There seems to be no download for it in the Samsung store.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
When you take out spen, use submenu "view all notes", write on pdf is included.

View attachment 5546441
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] elmaquinadeamor:
Thank you for the quick response.

Tried it and it doesn't work quite the same as what "write on pdf" did. In samsung notes, it converts it to a samsung note file that can be written on with the s-pen. Then it will need to be saved back as a pdf file. A couple of extra steps added but will still get the job done i guess. Would still prefer it over acrobat.
