[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
This may be a little complicated but here is the basic gist:

1. Android 2.1 (B&N Nook Simple Touch)

2. I backup the dictionary files in /system/media/reference and then delete the originals. This shows a corresponding increase in the available space in /system

3. I create a symlink to alternate dictionary files in /sdcard/Dictionary (or /data/media/B&N Downloads/Dictionary--same result either way)

4. After rebooting I have access to new dictionary. Then I change my mind and want a different dictionary.

5. I delete the symlinks in /system/media/reference

6. I create new symlinks to a different dictionary, reboot, etc.

7. Now I get tired of all this and want to return to the stock dictionary.

8. I delete the symlinks in /system/media/reference and prepare to copy the stock backups to their original location.

BUT

9. I see that there is no longer enough space on /system to restore the original files! As an example, the stock available space in /system is 55906 kb (80% full--that's with the dictionary files in their normal place). After a few symlink cycles it may drop down to something like 30359 kb (89% full). Restoration of the stock dictionary requires about 57000 kb available space.

Blah-blah-blah. I've done this many times now, each time searching diligently for what is taking up the space that should be free. The only way to get the space back is to restore an earlier nandroid backup.

Surely this is not supposed to happen with symlinks? To delete one I am using adb shell rm. Is there something else I should be doing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
Why does the use of symlinks in /system gradually erode available space?

I am working on a routine for swapping dictionaries on an e-reader (Nook Simple Touch--Android 2.1). I've got the shell commands nailed down and have constructed an app using Tasker. It all works g...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
Yep, and I did see your comment which turned out to be really helpful, @alecxs! I've solved the problem and answered my own question over at Stack Exchange.

The key is to kill the background process which is holding on to the dictionary databases before doing any file manipulations. If that is done, everything works as it should and no funny /system storage losses.

Thanks so much for nudging me in the right direction.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
don't thank me, I had something different in mind. but yes, reading your answer remind me some strange behavior in 5 years old backup script:

after lazy umount + rm -rf /data still there was ~1GB disk space occupied.

this is because deleted files remain open for running processes, just the inode becomes orphaned.

killing system_server immediately freed up these 1GB and solved for me. lsof is your friend ;)

Hey XDA comunity.

Iam reading in this Forum for a long time now and i think its time for my first topic :)

Maybe a short discription of my idea.

I love to listen to an Internet Radio called Technobase.fm

When you visit the site you could see the actual song and the dj.

So always when I listen to the music and there is a good song i would like to save the titel.

So my Idea.

Is it possible to create a Panel which plays the Stream of the Radio and shows some Information from the Homepage ( Song, DJ )

And a button which will add the song to an txt document or so.

My developing skills are not the best, iam able to code it with xhtml, but i have no idea, how to convert it to the sony xperia X1 as a panel.

Maybe you have some ideas or Information.

Thx for reading :)

rooting android fones have become so useless and tiresome. Iv always had to have an encrypted fone for work purposes but root for fun. Nowadays its become rediculour to root. Bl unlockin, custom binaries. For years iv always had to spend weeks searching for guides to root and encrypt but recently these samsung phones with the locked bl is a pis take. No amount of security will take over someone who has pysical access to your fone but the data can be reset which is what im trying to do wo allow me to encrypt my fone. Fuk it no one on xd bothers replyin anyway
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Is that a question, a statement, or both?

I run stock Samsung's that are heavily optimized.

They run very well and even though the one is still running on Pie security is not an issue.

I spend very little time with maintenance and troubleshooting. The current OS load will be 2 yo in June, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission.

What's not to like?
[General Topics] nidowak653:
put twrp, root device then if it gets stole see if u cant slp at nite. Twrp breaks encrypt on sam fones and after all these years still no way of encryp
[General Topics] Linux4life2211:
I root my phone to occasionally deal with discrepancies with just about any company that gives me problems. I do this via native call recording which as far as I am aware only works while rooted. Living in a one party consent state I don't even have to let the other party know I am doing so. To be honest though I can't really speak about root access on today's phones mine is a 2018. When I do choose my next phone I will definitely take the time to do my research and find an easy one that will do what I'm trying to do with it. Even if it is not going to the newest whatever phone. I find the benefit of having call recording far outways having the newest tech.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Physical possession is the only real security.

Anyone trying to steal my phone will bleed.

If I was you I be more concerned with data lose due to encryption. You are the one most likely to get locked out... and then you're boned. Especially if it's your last backup data drive.
[General Topics] nidowak653:
i remember when call recording was slowly being tak

iv had a few phones that encrypt with root and have never got locked out, always kept backups. But this was years back. Now that every things moved on it seems securing the fone is getting much harder with the manufacters constantly ****in things up. Like samsung never had bootloader, now they do, no knox, know they do etc and it gets harder. But yea your so rite, nothing beats Physical possession, the only prob ? the theifs think like that about other ppls phones to haaaa
[General Topics] Elmarigo:
That's the wrong question. The real quesion is: Why should anyone accept not being in full control of anything he paid a full price for?

Why leave the control to vendors who abuse it in their special interest, which mostly is against the user's favor?

The fact they are making it harder and harder is proof, that there's a lot to lose!
[General Topics] nidowak653:
exactly ! But manufacterers no longer bother about customers and what they want. Its the wallet, once you pay they dont care.
[General Topics] ManojNairOnline:
Rooting gives you a higher level of control over your phone's internals. Usually, vendors hide most of the advanced optimization settings. These are exposed when you root your phone. Even without rooting, have a look at the settings screen of custom ROM's like Lineage and compare it with the stock setting screens, and you will see a number of 'extras' that help tweak your phone in ways the stock does not allow.

hi;

well i tried 19 again didn't back up gapps version and tried 11/arm/pico versions i get error 20 when sideloading gapps and even when using twrp 3 and using install.

any help would be great this error happens in win 11 and linux with latestr adb and fast boot installed.
[X Play General] PhotonIce:
Try installing it via the latest twrp from the official website:

Download TWRP for lux

Download TWRP Open Recovery for lux

eu.dl.twrp.me

If that doesn't work, try installing it with the oldest twrp available from here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/twrp-lux-twrp-for-moto-x-play.3194656/

Also, maybe try some other gapps package, it's possible that opengapps isnt compatible with that lineage version. See if any gapps are recommended on the lineage forum page and use that. Some good alternatives are NikGapps and LiteGapps.

Make sure to try different roms as well, prefferably stable ones such as lineage 17.1 from here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-lineageos-17-1-weeklies-lux.4080411/

Try lineage 17.1 again from the above link, but make sure to follow the instructions and read the page carefully, it says that you need a nougat base, and if you are coming from nougat stock, then you need to wipe /data.

I think it's the screen itself that's gone - it's a big white tint on the screen. It came this morning, and a soft reset got rid of it initially, but it came back later and now won't go away.

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] nidowak653:
anyone know how to renable file based encrypt that the multidisabler-samsung-3.2b5 this file disabled. Because of this i cannot encrypt at all. Iv only just got back onto androids and its such a fkin mess with the guides, and the half baked guides. I dont want to start from stock as this should be possible but no.

rooting and everything nowadays just messes up your fone all so you can customise it a little. Once works over i dont want an androd again. been tryin for a week and there is no h lep at all on xda or anywhere else.

Again, multidisabler-samsung-3.2b5 completely broke encryption by disabling FBE. How do i either enable it again.

hey there. ive had my p6p for only a few weeks. battery life has been poor since i got it, but worse since the march update. i noticed when i look in settings under battery and battery usage and then past 24 hours i see mobile network usage at 70%. i haven't left my house in over a week and ive been on wifi the whole time. isn't that weird that the mobile network would be in use so much? i looked under network and the sim and by default roaming was toggled on. i turned that off and switched my preferred network to lte instead of 5g. a day later, still not left the house and i see mobile network at 54%, still high. i haven't even made one call on this phone in days. im on t-mobile if that matters and seem to have good reception in my home. any ideas or settings i could look at? thanks for any replies.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lesafijndt:
Go to developer settings and disable "Mobile data always on" option, as well as you can disable the 2g always on for emergency calls from the wifi&network settings. That helped me.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] t0m2k:
Dont know whats wrong with my p6p. Was one of the users who had zero problems since december, switched then to 12.1 beta. Now im on QPR 1.1 and since QPR 1.0 my battery drains like crazy, and even with the slightest of usage while using 4G/wifi it gets way hotter then before and you can see the battery % falling like a waterfall. Checked ofc all the settings, nothing changed. All apps are the same, nothing new. With Dec Firmware i was at ~50% at the end of the day, now im below 10%.

Im a die hard android boy, but for me thats crazy how unstable the whole "system" is. You change nothing app/usage wise, and you just loose nearly 40% of battery capacity.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I personally hate the battery life on this phone. I charged it to 85% earlier and was texting a buddy of mine for a bit, and my phone was super warm for no reason and I lost like 20% just from that. It doesn't make much sense to me how the power is bad that if I do light tasks it just goes to crap. I hope the next phone is better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Personally, forget the Mobile Network standby figure is just misleading.

On the original firmware mine said 3-7% and I would charge to 80% and then 24 hours later would have around 30% left. By the February release the standby figure was showing 40% but battery life exactly the same. With the March release it is ready 50%+ but again the battery life is still pretty much the same (couple of % more but that is because I moved to a dual sim setup).

Don't disagree that some are having battery issues, but don't go chasing the Mobile Standby number as it is likely a complete red herring and your issue is elsewhere.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] t0m2k:
yeah i noticed that too. Im no way focused on that % mobile standby. Im feeling the noticable higher temp on the device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
There are reports that the older 5G modem is at least part of the problem, so I would not dismiss it. The fact that so many disable 5G, 2G, or other mobile services and report better battery life is kind of telling, too.

I think that the March drop has improved my battery life a bit, however. Not great, but it lasts through the day.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
My battery life has definitely decreased since updating to march build. My usage hasn't changed, but before, I went to bed with ~15% left, now I often need to recharge at ~22:00 whenever I want to use my phone before sleep. Temps also seem to be slightly worse. I sometimes notice the phone getting warm, which did not happen before.

On a plus side, I have no more connection problems at home since updating to March build (I can get SMS/calls again in my home office), so that's a trade-off I am ok with, even though I don't like it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] elwuero:
mobile network is definitely my problem. since i stay home most days, working from home and not needing to go out, i turned on airplane mode and then enabled wifi and bt. i get calls from wifi thru tmobile and suddenly my battery life is great. 24 hours after charging with light use i had 89% battery remaining. i believe overnight i had lost 1%. i plan on leaving it in airplane mode till i go out. i get my notifications and calls and have great battery life this way.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Normandroid:
I've noticed a steep decline in my battery life as well since the March update. Mobile network appears to be the culprit. Verizon user here, on an old GUDP.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I find it sad we have to go through such hoops to get our battery life adequate enough for our standards, when it should be this way out of the box. I hope the next pixel phone improves upon this, and if it does even in the smallest way I'll be sure to trade my device in.
