You can try booting into the stock recovery: Hold down the volume DOWN button and power button until the SONY logo appears. When you see SONY, release the power button but hold the volume down button until the recovery menu appears. Then you can factory reset from that menu.

Or, make sure you have platform tools (adb) and the Sony USB drivers installed, and you can boot into recovery by:

Making sure the phone is off. Plug in a usb cable into your computer but NOT the phone yet. Then hold down the volume UP button while plugging in a usb cable and release the button when you see a blue light. The blue light indicates fastboot mode. Then, in a command prompt, make sure you have the device connected by entering:

fastboot devices

If your device is listed, then it's connected. If not, repeat the above steps. Then enter:

fastboot boot recovery

Your phone should then boot into recovery which will allow you to factory reset the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Yusef Kifah:
Hey everyone. I'm using a Oneplus Nord and I'm currently looking for a solution to my issue.

I'm looking for an app / mod / shortcut to toggle screen off / lock from the home screen without using any form of accessibility service or root or device admin.

Something like this that could work on Oneplus phones.

Screen Lock 10.0.0.302 (Android 4.4+) APK Download by HUAWEI - APKMirror

Screen Lock 10.0.0.302 (Android 4.4+) APK Download by HUAWEI - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

www.apkmirror.com

This is because I'm running Nova7 as my stock launcher and realised that Google Assistant reverts to the old pill ui when any form of accessibility option is turned on. There is double tap to lock on Oneplus launcher but I don't use it and I can't create a shortcut of that activity in any way.

Is there any form of workaround to this? Or a rebuilt apk of the oneplus launcher that just does that?

Appreciate any help.

Hi, I bought my watch in Belgium and can't access Samsung Pay here in France so I'm trying to change the watch's region.

Hi all. I tried searching but none came up anywhere.

Not sure if I'm posting at the correct section so if it isn't than could the mod pls pardon me and moved this post to the correct one.

I downloaded GPSProxy 2.2 but when I installed it in my Tytn it prompt me to install opennetcf.sdf.ppc3.arm.cab first.

So I search the net using google but was only able to get opennetcf.sdf.ppc3.armV4.cab.

Installed opennetcf.sdf.ppc3.armV4.cab and everything was ok till this stage.

Finally installing GPSProxy2.2 but it still prompt me that it requires opennetcf.sdf.ppc3.arm.cab to be installed for it to run properly.

I open up GPSProxy and I got this error:

Is it due to the V4 problem? But I can't find any file without a V4 now.

I'm a noob and trying to get it to work with malsing maps.

Hope someone can help.

[Fire TV General] Tech0308:
Using TWRP/unlock from [UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire TV Stick 3 and Fire TV Stick Lite (sheldon/p) with successfully installed OpenGapps on my Fire Stick Lite.

Needed files:

Open Gapps (Arm, 9.0, tvstock/tvmini)

gapps-config.txt (Attached Below) and edit as needed

These are the steps (guidance only! Some common sense is helpful!) if needed:

Boot into TWRP following the link attached

adb push <Download Location>/gapps-config.txt /sdcard/

adb push <Download Location>/open_gapps-arm-9.0-tv****-********.zip /sdcard/

adb shell

sheldonp:/ # twrp install /sdcard/open_gapps-arm-9.0-tv****-********.zip

sheldonp:/ # reboot or adb reboot

Install a custom launcher(Leanback on Fire recommended) and use Launcher Manager to disable stock launcher so Playstore becomes accessible

To pass Safetynet: use Magisk, Universal SafetyNet Fix and MagiskHideProps (I recommend MiBox S device fingerprint). YASNAC should return a pass!

Not working:

Google Search Voice (probably needs someone more advanced then me to figure it out)

Cast Receiver (Don't work on unregistered devices)

Android TV Launcher/TV remote (probably some accounts issue?)

To do:

Create a Magisk Module with stock Android TV boot animation

Compile tweaks/props that may be useful

Feel free to ask for help/comment!

Turns out literally no company makes any skins for this phone except for a company in Thailand who requires a minimum of $20 purchase for doing so. AliExpress hasn't given me any choices either.... Do you guys use a skin on your phone. If so could you link it please?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |||||:
Hello,

So I just transfered my Data throught Smart Switch, wich was basically a good thing.

However on one part Iam really not so happy and need a better way.

Because if you want to transfer your Accounts as well (check this Option), you get forced to activate WIFI & Internet - for everything else you don't need to.

Why? Probably because Smart Switch wants to send your accounts to the samsung servers, wich is done pretty fast, because the accounts are basically just text.

I don't want to send my accounts around and I bet you don't want to as well. Except you do sync everything... then its too late anyway.

So my Question is:

Is there a good workaround or another tool, wich lets you transfer your main accounts - without sending them to samsung or anyone?

What is your experience? And do you know a workaround?

Please let me/us know

|||||
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Never trust SmartSwitch with critical data.

Make backups for contacts and all apps the allow you export/import settings/data. Use ApkExport to make installable copies of all your apps and updates.

All critical data like images, music, vids should be backed up as folder and should already be redundantly backed up to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

When going to a different model it's best not to use SmartSwitch. For the same device I use it to transfer homepage settings only.

A clean load yields best results... and can last years with minimal maintenance if you don't do stupid stuff including firmware updates and upgrades.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |||||:
Yeah, I think so as well.

However APK Export is from 2018. I don't think It can be trusted either. Especially with Android 12 etc

Also I didn't give SmartSwitch Internetaccess, because of AFwall, so Iam ok with that.

Problem is now, how to transfer all the accounts? I don't like to do it all manually.

It doesn't let me do it without an Internetconnection, wich can't be trusted. I don't want to send all my accounts to samsung, lol. That seems to be the only purpose, why there needs to be an Internet Connection with the Accounts.

Before Titanium Backup was great and also it took all the Accountdata with it (whatsapp etc).

Now there seems to be Swift Backup, but I need to test it first.. it doesn't seem to be that powerful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Well I'm running Android 9 and 10, deliberately.

The ApkExport is clean freeware.

It either will work with 12 or not.

Easy enough to test.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |||||:
Now Iam also searching for another Alternative.

So basically to have the Function like Smart Switch, but for any Phone, so you can at least quickly transfer contacts etc. - any Ideas?

Edit: maybe found some ways here:

https://mobiletrans.wondershare.com/samsung-transfer/alternatives-for-samsung-smart-switch.html

Edit2:

they are all not as good as Smart Switch so far... damn.

Edit3: Here is Smart-Switch and many Alternatives - wich need to be tested..

smart switch - Android Apps on Google Play

Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.

play.google.com

But Iam still searching for a good way to also transfer the accounts savely to an S22U.

Damn a Smart-Switch Mod would be awesome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Backup as a text or wdoc so you can cut/paste.

You need to redundantly backup critical data by tried and proven methods or you risk getting your data splattered like a NYC crime scene.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |||||:
Ok, now I have an S21 Ultra ^^

But still I had this Problem... and some apps didn't had their app data.

I have both rooted phones. Isn't there a better alternative?

Edit again:

Before I always used Titanium Backup in this Case, wich worked great, but sadly does not work on Android 11/12 properly and now it seems to be abandonware.

However here I found a possible solution/alternative:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=swift+backup

But I wonder again, why you have to login to your google account with this tool...

And here are some solutions as well:

[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] :
I've installed Lineage OS on the Mi MIX 4 and I cannot be happier after getting rid of MIUI, but now I'm left without a proper camera app. I installed GCAM but not everything works at the moment.

I would like to try to install the official MIUI camera app and see if by any chance it works, but I forgot to extract the apk before flashing Lineage OS.

Can someone who has MIUI installed upload the apk in this thread, or know where I can get it? For example using an extractor like this one:

Apk Extractor - Apps on Google Play

Extracts installed applications on your device and places them on your SD card.

play.google.com

Looks like the apk only works on MIUI... Try ANXCamera, must be installed through Magisk or TWRP.

I've tried the different builds for Android 11 via TWRP and all of them hang during installation, the phone is also not yet listed as officially supported.

If you plan on continuing to develop this Rom you should go on the Telegram group of Mi 11 Dev (just search "Mi 11- AOSP Development #EDLBrickers" heres' the Supergroup ID -1001622324356). You will easily get help.

P.S : There is already someone building Pixel Experience for Android 12 on the group, but he's facing bootloop and fingerprint issues, no alarm and call sound. He will soon release it.

P.S.2: Being "Oficial" don't mean nothing in reality apart of OTA via the updater. You can easily be an unofficial dev.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
I unlocked the boot loader and root my P6P the first day I got it, then I disable the auto update in Developer Options. Since then, I always update the phone with full factory image method:

>December Update>January Update>February Update>12L>QPR3 Beta 1

I never enrolled into the Google Beta Program for both the 12L and the QPR3, so if I checked my Google account with my P6P with Google Beta program, it would confirm that I am not enrolled. So here is a couple questions and hope you knowledge people can help me out:

1. Any difference between these two: official beta enrollment and the case for people like me?

2. I know that if you are enrolled in the beta program and want out, your phone would be wiped. How about in my situation? Can I use the full factory method when the 12.1 becomes available to get my phone from QPR3 beta 1 to the 12.1 and still retain my data?

3. If the one mentioned in above is negative, does it means that I am stuck in the QPR3 beta unless I can afford to wipe the phone data free? I really want to avoid it as I have spent quite a lot time to copy almost 100GB of music from collection in my computer to the P6P.

Thanks in advance for any given ideas.

[Moto G Power (2021)] jwreidmoto:
Hello, a couple of weeks ago my rooted Moto phone crashed and was not able to boot. Right before it said "Hello Moto" it would reboot. I then would get the message, "no bootable a/b slot". So I tried a bunch of commands in ADB fastboot to fix the issue but to no avail. Luckily, I have the Moto Rescue Assistant and got my phone back to normal again. Once I got it back to par, I rerooted it with Magisk and I installed Titanium Backup. Later that day it crashed again and went into the same bootloop. Again, I rescued it and rerooted it. The difference this time is I said goodbye to Titanium backup because when I restore apps only a few of them get the data restored too. Also, it's been abandoned so I switched to Swift Backup, and it works fantastic. Since then, it has been a week and no crash. So I have 2 questions. The first is can an outdated app such as Titanium backup cause a phone to crash and not boot? Secondly, if Magisk updates can it cause an issue with the patched boot file and cause a no boot crash?

Thanks,

JwreidMoto
[Moto G Power (2021)] mario0318:
Yes and yes. You've got root access for those apps right? Of course they can cause phone boot problems.

Titanium Backup has had an ongoing issue for years now due to it being abandoned where restoring into /data or /system would often hang the app indefinitely, an issue that started with Android 8 if I'm not mistaken. I can only imagine how much worse it would be now that there are dynamic partitions and further restrictions on R/W permissions outside of /data blocks.

Magisk updates are notorious for breaking stability or causing bootloops. If not for the significant under the hood changes in the latest canary versions, it would likely wind up causing modules to break the booting process.

I had a feeling that this might be true. Thanks for your response
