[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] CoolKitty:
Thanks for the reply. I've considered ifixit, especially in light of recent announcements but unfortunately they don't have these from their EU store and they don't ship outside of the USA. I've thought about shipping by proxy but at that point it'll be more expensive than ordering a brand new display from China.
[Google Pixel 6] GoNz0:
I reset the launcher earlier and it's wiped a lot of setting. I was setting up smart lock again, I can select devices and locations but when you press on body detection, nothing happens.

Is this a bug with the april update or does anyone know how to fix it?

Pixel 6, not pro.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
that feature comes from google play store or services not the rom itself. if i recall correctly.

have you got the play store updates since your reset?
[Google Pixel 6] GoNz0:
NO updates are showing in the play store.

*Edit, I just googled how to update the store and there is an update. I click it and it and press understood then nothing.
[Google Pixel 6] GoNz0:
f*** it. used pixel flasher and the dry run factory reset the bloody phone :oops::rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 6] GoNz0:
I flashed the full April image and it's working again. I wonder if the gcam will stop crashing this time...
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
hope you reported the bug
[Google Pixel 6] GoNz0:
Just have, it's probably my fault :)

While setting up the Samung4 smartwatch, I noticed Customization Service is installed and turned on in the Galaxy Wearable app for the watch. I don't remember if it was installed and turned on in my Note9 phone but since I set up the watch it is. Should I turn off the Customization Service or do I need it enabled for the watch apps to function and display properly?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
Play with it and see what works best for you.

A lot of documentation may be missing or near impossible to find. It's nearly impossible to crash* a stock Android so... explore.

*3rd party apps excluded. The stock Sammy ones are likely safe though.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] dalepl:
You do not need it for the watch to work. You can turn it off if you have concerns about privacy. It is a personal choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
Thanks! I read it's a default setting on the watch to collect data. I just wasn't sure if it affected the apps if I disabled it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
You can also use Karma Firewall to block the app after it's installed and running. I do this with Wearables and the Good Lock family of apps on my Samsung. Karma uses almost no battery and is freeware.

I have A71 with the Vietnam firmware.

Given the fact that I am from Israel, and the Vietnam firmware is not yet at Android 12,

I wanted to know if i can flash other firmware for my model, and if yes, what are the limitations?

Can I just flash a European firmware?

Is there a global firmware?

Thanks

[Redmi Note 10] DigFor:
Hey,

basically the title. I have rooted my Redmi Note 10 as i am doing some analysis using autopsy. Surprisingly, i was unable to analyse the userdata partition as autopsy does not support f2fs. I was not expecting a f2fs data partition as the system partition is also formatted as ext4. Without switching to a custom ROM, is it possible to force MIUI 12.5.5 to use ext4 by re-formatting and re-flashing the device?
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
in my humble opinion you shouldn't mess with partitions
[Redmi Note 10] DigFor:
Well, that does not solve my problem^^ I tried to change the partition using TWRP. However, whenever i flash the MIUI ROM, the process formats the userdata partition back to f2fs. Even TWRP will reformat the userdata partition to f2fs when i format the data. Where is defined to which format TWRP formats the partitions? Has anyone an idea on how to solve this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] brewhoxs:
Okey, this articles is remind me when i'm interest to change 4G icon on my Android Mi Max 1 Prime Helium statusbar.

Perhaps it'll be difficult things to edit and change some 4G icon on Res folder from SystemUI.apk located in root folder -> System -> Priv-app -> SystemUI.

And probably not all 5G icon from Magisk Module will compatible for all android devices, specially for Official Stock ROM from device manufacturer.

This tips must have Root and Xposed Framework installed, and compatible for all android devices.

And i still recommended must have Magisk installed.

To avoid bootloop after reboot, using Magisk Module Bootloop Saver Protector.

Okey, here we go...

Minimum requirement:

- Android 6.0.1 (Please use at your own risk if you use bellow, but it still compatible without Magisk).

- Magisk Manager.v20.4 or above version.

- Bootloop Saver Protector Installed from Magisk.

- Xposed Framework Installed from Magisk.

- Flat Style Bar Indicators Pro (Please download from Xposed Module Repository).

Here's step:

1. Your device must Root and Magisk installed.

2. Install Bootloop Saver Protector from Magisk.

3. Instal Xposed Framework from Magisk.

4. Please download and install Flat Style Bar Indicators from Xposed Module Repository.

Here's link: Flat Style Bar Indicators

Here's how:

1. I assume you has done with all step from above.

2. Please open Flat Style Bar Indicators Pro that you has done download and install from PlayStore.

3. No need to change anything, just click to open Mobile Data from Indicators menu.

4. Click to open Connection Type Text from Mobile Data menu.

5. At the Connection Type Text menu bellow, please click Add from Mapping menu.

6. From here you can change all Network Icon as you wanted.

7. After you click Add from Mapping menu, there'll be show the 2nd Mapping menu to write network icon based from your network device.

8. For an example: From 4G to 5G, then click Apply.

Done!

Pretty cool isn't it?!

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] revvlhelpmepls:
Hi guys, I have a TMobile REVVL V+ 5G and I had it away for 2 months. I thought I reset it before I switched to my new phone and I want to go back to it because I miss the yuge screen.

If you're still reading, you probably know I'm here cause I forgot the code. When I boot into recovery it says no command and I've literally done the reboot like 57 or 58 times.

Please help. I'm a newb at this I only know recovery mode because I got locked out of it once already.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] XDA-Padawan:
No worries, we've all been there with you. This is what I can verify works: Once your phone reads "No command" just press volume down and power button at the same time, and hold them just long enough to tap the volume up button. You can probably release all three at the same time, but I recommend letting go of the volume up button, then releasing the other two. So to be clear, you're just basically tapping volume up while briefly holding down the volume down and power buttons together.
[General Topics] userlandtech:
Hi all! We have started back on our project, UserLAnd (userland.tech), which is an easy way for people to have Linux distros or Linux apps on your Android device. One of the things we are trying to work on is developing access to apps that currently aren't available on Android through our platform. For example, we have just launched a GIMP app (which is the actual GIMP!) and also desktop Firefox (here is a link to all of our apps in the play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=8617260147938950881)

Anyway, I wanted to get some ideas from the community on what apps we should consider pursuing! Let me know and thanks in advance!

[LG Wing Questions & Answers] DeTesla:
Just got it and been messibg with it for an hour or so(had to order from the states to Norway), unlocked, regocnized the carrier and all. However, the boatware is extensive, due to this is an AT&T phone, non delete&trashable.

This phone is OEM unlocked, so if i factory reset this baby does the ohone get locked? Asking before i do anything that might put it at risk of being locked.

Hopefully, with the tools provided by xda for the wing(ive been lurking for the past 15 days) id get this unlocked with bootloader and i can remove the bloatware.

Thank you for reading, and your help!

(First post on xda)
[LG Wing Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Before you do a factory reset remove all Google accounts from the phone!

Not sure if LG's have anything else but Google's FRP will bone you without the correct password.

Reboot and verify there are no Google accounts present. Do the factory reset then from settings as opposed to the boot menu if you have that option.

A factory reset will not remove the AT&T apps if it's an AT&T phone as they are part of the rom. They can be disable from running at boot with a adb edit or a package disabler. They won't impact phone operations at all then. These are the easiest and safest options.
[LG Wing Questions & Answers] DeTesla:
Thank you for the answer. Yeah its a very neato phone for sure.

Its still stuck on An10, so i just hope it'll get An11 (As ive found out An10 is very restrictive, cant even open\extract zip files on it)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AcidDemon:
Hello,

I hope I'm in the correct forum. Since a few weeks I have an app on my phone which calls itself AppEnabler (version A14.0.0.0).

The app has no Icon and can only be found when I look in the settings under apps.

I can't stop it or deactivate it. Uninstalling isn't possible as well.

I googled a bit and found some apps with the same name provided by the Deutsche Telekom AG. I uninstalled everything I had from Deutsche Telekom AG but without success.

The app seems to display ads on the notification screen from time to time.

Any ideas?

//Name of the app was wrong
[OnePlus 9 Pro] taanh1412:
Try using ADB to uninstall or disable it
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AcidDemon:
But is there any chance to see which app installed this app?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AcidDemon:
I checked the install date with AppInspector and the it's before I even bought the phone.

Could it be possible that it's a default app included with the base install image?

Can someone check if he has the app as well?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
No app here.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AcidDemon:
Thanks for checking
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AcidDemon:
I followed the advice and uninstalled it via adb. AppInspector showed that the app had full rights (was allowed to access everything). It was spyware/adware for sure
[OnePlus 9 Pro] galaxys:
Wise move removing it via adb! Cheers
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mugni147:
Man It's included by defaulted. Also, disabled but also there is more apps. I think they are Bloatware from Xiaomi. I am uninstalling them with ADB App Control. View attachment 5942591

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
Been asking T-Mobile and OnePlus on how to block this update as it breaks creation of a work profile and I can no longer us my phone for work. I've downgraded to A11 using MSM but then as soon as I connect to WiFi, the device starts downloading the A12 update. Pausing it says it will update after midnight.

I've forbidden data usage to Android Setup (there is no system update app that I've been able to find in any of the apps even after "show system" is checked) and disabled those apps. I've disabled "allow automatic updates when rebooting". Going into System update there is no gear to stop the update. I've turned data off to anything I can find, i've also done this in safe mode. I can't not be able to use this phone for work and it's basically brand new.

If it's rooted it won't work for Work Profile either. Microsoft documentation states that OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, and Nokia phones do not work with Android 12 and work profiles and that they should not be upgraded yet, so I assume there's a way to stop this upgrade.

Anyone have any luck?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
Install NetGuard, go to settings > advanced options > enable system apps.

In NetGuard, search for updater and turn off network for it, then turn NetGuard on and leave the VPN on while you use the phone.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
Thanks! When I searched for updater on my phone, under system apps, only Mobile Installer and ConfigUpdater showed up. Searching for update, it's built-in app updates and Dynamic System Updates, both of which I believe are not the right ones to block. I did try blocking all four and the update still applied (I set my time to midnight and left it plugged in)

Any suggestions? I feel like T-Mobile makes this too difficult :(
[OnePlus 9 Pro] runningslow:
For what its worth, I used an app called Island to create a work profile on my device while it still had A11. My phone upgraded to A12 and the work profile and all of its associated apps were still there. I haven't noticed any problems with the apps or accounts on that work profile, either (although A12 is a dumpster fire).

My phone is currently a bone stock LE2127 from T-Mobile.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
You could use shelter on android 12, it works fine. If you still need to block updates, use PCAPdroid, turn on its VPN, then attempt an update. You should get the update server and you could block it via DNS.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
Ok, so I've tried a couple of the above. unfortunately I need to run company portal for it to create the work profile so when I went to use shelter it didn't take as running Company Portal immediately killed it. We use Intune and compliance and all that fun stuff.

I also went and checked PCAPdroid, and I couldn't tell where the update server was, so I went and I blocked network traffic from everything with NetGuard, and slowly removed things to see what app was doing the downloading. The only thing that stopped the update from downloading was blocking Google Play Services.

I have a couple PCAP files but I'm not sure if they are even capturing the download of the update file.

I suppose I could live life for a few months turning on and off google play services connectivity when I need to install stuff. I just can't believe that T-Mobile knowingly forces this on you.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
I don't remember where I found it, I think it may have been some random 8 Pro subforum.

They said to use this command.

I'm crossing my fingers.

adb shell pm disable-user com.oneplus.opbackup
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
Unfortunately tried that as well, doesn't exist on the OP9 Pro T-Mo edition. It's almost as if they castrated this version lol.

I appreciate the help though!

Exception occurred while executing 'disable-user':
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.oneplus.opbackup
at com.android.server.pm.PackageManagerService.setEnabledSetting(PackageManagerService.java:21670)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
Hi,

It seems like gateway.oneplus.net is the update server, you can try to block that only.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
I'm cautiously optimistic right now. Blocked that through no root firewall, tried to download the update and it wouldn't go through. Currently have the phone set to 12 am and sitting on it's own to see if it'll actually auto update over the day. If it doesn't, woo hoo! Thank you so much! If it does, sad face.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
You're welcome!

If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll be more than happy to assist you.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
Argh! I was wrong, I accidentally had everything blocked and not just gateway.oneplus.net. PCAPDroid isn't picking up any different dns servers or IP addresses when I run it other than what I've posted. I ended up finding a way to block the download when the screen is off (apparently app "Root" in NetGuard stops it from downloading) and I think I should be ok until T-Mo releases a better update with OnePlus that works.

Thanks for the help, hopefully it doesn't and up somehow finding it's away around my network block!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Is this working for you? Do you still get the notifications about an update being available?

The fix I posted above has worked to prevent notifications & updates on global but I want to go back to T-mobile ROM now due to some odd network behavior.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Oh geez, I just MSM'd back to TMO and I see that TMO is now forcing the first update to be to 12 instead of a newer version of 11.

Global will let you step up to the most recent version of 11 before forcing you to 12.

But TMO just skips right to 12 without giving you a newer 11 first.

Anyone know how to install the most updated version of TMO 11?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
In order to get the latest OOS 11 version, first you need to MSM. Then, you need to update, make sure it's around ~460 MB or so, it will look like it's an update to OOS 12 but it's not. Then you should end up on 11.2.9.9 and then you need to block the update that's around 4000 MB and you should be good to go.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
I MSM'd and the current version was 11.2.6.6.le5acb.

Then, I went to the update tab and it says the update available is for le2127_11_c-16, which is the 12 version.

I don't remember the size on it though and I've already moved on to a custom ROM to test something.

Are you saying this was telling me it would be 12 but would have actually done an 11 update?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
Yes, at least in my experience.

I was skeptical at first but then thought to myself there was no way an Android 12 upgrade was ~400 MB. Also, given the fact that I tested on global and it forced an upgrade to the latest Android 11 version BEFORE doing an Android 12 upgrade, I figured it wouldn't really have upgraded to Android 12.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
That file doesn't exist on T-Mobile from what I've seen. I am just living with the pop up every once in a while.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
I found a downgrade thread for T-Mobile to Android 11. I used it and it worked for me. it also fixed my serial number that was missing the leading 0. search for the OnePlus 9 Pro downgrade using the MSM Tool!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
Yeah that's what I used but then it kept upgrading on its own. Had to do it a couple times then block network connectivity to specific addresses.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
yeah, the updates are a Hassel, I'm waiting for my T-Mobile unlock token from oneplus to unlock the bootloader then I will after gaining root address the update issue.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] PCFIVEZ:
I had my LE2127 network unlocked and bootloader unlocked. from there I didn't know what to do to downgrade back to Android 11 and ended up bricking my phone following some garbage that was incorrect! I sent it in to oneplus for warranty repair and they just sent me a brand new LE2127 a few days later with 11.2.8.8 on it....so now I have to start all over.

these reminders keep creeping up on me at all different times of night. last time, it forced an update at 4am and when I woke up it was too late! if u keep ignoring it they will forcefully push it onto your phone when you're not looking!

I tried to follow so many methods online and the instructions either don't work or have nothing but broken links...can somebody finally post up a clear English step by step walk through on how to completely get rid of this android 12 garbage from an LE2127 ???!!!???
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Strange Vexings:
I'm at 28 days with it saying "your device is out of date" and hasn't pushed itself. I installed "NetGuard" and have it's firewall permanently on blocking "Root". This has seemed to do the trick. The update shows up once a week or so and I just dismiss the notification.
