Can any one help and have any ideas
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
Try re-aligning the screen, if that doesnt help, try a Hard Reset (you will loose everything tho, except whats on Internal Storage)

if still no joy

download again and flash....good luck

Does anyone have the link for the Orange Rom 1.93 as I have lost it

Or does any one have the Origanal HTC one and the Uplock file to install on Orange
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
u need Hard SPL for official HTC ROM, this and the HTC ROMs can be found in the stickies in this section of the forum
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ingerasu:
it happened after i soft-reseted my device today, the HTC icon didn't show up.

i can't really turn it on normally although i did hard reset. Please, all advices would be so appreciated
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] carlosmozas:
What did you did before the soft reset?

some new software installed?

What happens exactly when you try to turn on the Niki?

Can you put the Niki in bootloader mode?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ingerasu:
I installed Spb Mobile Shell. It needs to soft reset after changing the original Spb Mobile Shell skin. I took the skin from PC to my device via Softick Card Export.

And now my Niki screen only shows "smart mobility" without being able to show HTC logo. I guess it can't be used to boot :(

Help T_T
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ingerasu:
OMG..thnx so much..gracias :)

i found a member post how to do it here

also thnx to tom_codon for starting the thread and colaito for sharing us how to put it in bootloader mode

but special thnx is dedicated to u Mr. carlosmozas, for giving me clue how to solve it

problem solved..thanks so much :)

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to get back the google pay since it was lost after I rooted my device,

And in the other hand to record calls...

Thank you
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi!

Click the yellow "How To Guide" quick filter at the top of the list of Pixel 6 Pro threads and look for the "Working SafetyNet with Pixel 6 Pro Android 12" thread.

Cheers!

P.S. You should've left this thread type as the default "Question" instead of changing it to "General", as your post was definitely a question (or two). You can still change it back to Question.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] I7210I:
Thank you,

does that method I will need to do in every month update?

Also about the call recording?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

If you follow that method's directions, you'll see its Magisk Modules and Magisk settings that you'll leave as is once you've set it (unless / until you have more apps like other banking apps you want to add to the list to hide Magisk from). It's not something you have to do after each update - it's something which will persist after you manually apply each month's new updates and re-root the phone.

I don't know about call recording - someone else will have to answer about that. However, there are search results in this section for "call record" that will also probably lead you to the answer you need.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] I7210I:
Great, Thank you so much.

By the way, the rooted phone (with Magisk) is need to be done for each month update too?

because here it sais (at the Caution) that the root is saved eventualy
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome.

The simple answer is yes - however that might be a more appropriate question in that thread if you want to re-post the question there. There are multiple methods of updating and multiple threads here with all the methods. In my thread here, I specify how I update.

The more complex answer is it depends on the method. Without reading the particulars of the method listed in the thread you linked. Just generally, there are methods that "retain root", however in my opinion they're not worth it as there more frequently seem to be issues from something going wrong when users do it that way. That's my impression.

For the past 5 1/2 years, my method is to use the full factory image, boot it unrooted and make sure everything's working, then flash the Magisk'd new stock boot.img (kernel), boot again to make sure everything's working, and then I end up flashing a custom kernel as well.

So I didn't "retain root", but I easily reaquired root each time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] I7210I:
OK,

Thank you for the info, I will procced from there

@

roirraW "edor" ehT​

Yes but are you delete all the device each month?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] in_dmand:
Regarding call recorder, I've been using this one by skvalex for years (with root) and it is crisp and clean sounding at both ends and you can set it up auto upload to Google drive too which is very nice.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Looks like you edited your post after I had already seen it. If you mean do I wipe my device every month? If so, then no. I remove the "-w " from the flash-all.bat so that flashing the full firmware doesn't wipe my device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
I made this thread cause of you 😂: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-enable-call-recording-on-pixel-6-pro-root-needed.4432931/

For the Google pay part, did you install the universal safetynet fix?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] I7210I:
Thank you I understand what to do now

What kind of battery improvement/screen on time can we expect from these optimizations? I'm currently getting 6-8h of screen time or 40~ hours of standby with 4~ hours of screentime.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
All kinds actually, from smoother phone to longer battery life.
[General Topics] rydare:
I wouldn't follow this guide, especially since it recommends malware (ccleaner hasn't been good for a looooong time).

There's also no need for draining your battery until the phone turns off multiple times to "calibrate" it, and disabling stuff that many people find useful (like location for Maps)... going through ADB to turn off settings available through the UI is also strange... Seems like snake oil.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Then don't :).
[General Topics] bobbarker2:
Agreed. CCleaner is garbage malware and most of the tips cripple your device's capabilities. One example from the rec'd settings... Turn off WiFi/Bluetooth scanning/GPS. Sure you'll save battery.. at the expense of losing location results. Also many apps require GPS permissions so this suggestion isn't even really practical.

Battery Calibration Pro? Hasn't been updated since 2017. If you want to know what's going on with your battery get a relevant app like Ampere. And why do we even need to "calibrate" our batteries?

And many of the apps listed in PixelSafe.txt marked as "bloatware" are definitely not safe to uninstall..

com.android.omadm.service

com.google.android.ims

com.google.android.carrier

Good luck using your phone without these.

And if AppControl OP is suggesting to use to uninstall the listed apps is doing so by modifying system partition say goodbye to passing safetynet.

100% do not use anything suggested here lol
[General Topics] nutzfreelance:
Im going to call bull**** on you here

Ive had omadm disabled for over 2 months with zero issues

OMA DM server development cooperation in the air, mobile phones and wireless devices to provide remote configuration, configure and update device management (DM) client enables operators and handset manufacturers outbreak system dependencies between DM tight.

if you can explain exactly why something should not be disabled and why it will cause a bootloop or failure to boot great.

if you are just blowing smoke out your ass because you think your phone should wipe your ass for you and everyone else.

then go away you are not helping the discussion.

i also dont think any non opensource app should be used as snake oil to fix issues unless we know exactly how it works.

people should always do their own research on everything, XDA is not for sheep following a guide word for word because they don't understand why things work or don't work
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
PLEASE, READ OP CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENTING. THANK YOU​

- CCleaner does the job, also, uninstalling it right after you're done using it is a key step.

- Doesn't matter when has it been updated, it does the job.

- I actually have a pixel 6, and those apps listed are ALREADY UNINSTALLED for me, and i'm running fine as you can see :).

- Bootloader locked, no root, and you're worried about system partitions ? And safetynet too ?

- OMADM was shipped disabled for me, i never needed to take it out.

- Literally NO ONE forced you to do what i said, all of those are suggestions, feel free to do, or not do them.

- You don't like my suggestions ? Skip them, go away, don't come posting nonsense, please, i want to keep my thread clean of bull****.

- 100% nobody asked your opinion.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
As i already stated in the past post, those apps are already uninstalled on my phone and i don't have any problem. Everything is working as intended, but with less heat, faster charging and better battery life
[General Topics] bobbarker2:
OMA DM and it's associated apps are frozen out of the box (for my carrier anyway). Can't speak for all carriers.

Lol I just copy/pasted from where I saw in the txt to uninstall com.google.android.ims and

com.google.android.carrier.. my bad if I included one that can be removed "safely".

Though how would it be beneficial to battery life to remove a frozen system app?

You missed my point. There are apps in the txt that should never be removed or even be suggested to be removed because without them, you no longer have a phone.

This entire battery optimization guide is full of bad advice at best and changes that will break your phone. What's the point of having a phone with amazing battering life but no functionality?

Don't believe me than go ahead and disable/remove com.google.android.ims and the other ims services. See how well sms/mms/telephony work through an IP network.
[General Topics] bobbarker2:
XDA is a community with lots of people who don't have in-depth knowledge of Android. Some people may not know better.

So as a community, we also want to stop the spread of bad information. You can't post a guide for better battery life and then say "but no one look into them or question them they work 100%". That's not how things work.

And with that not wasting more time on this thread. Best of luck!
[General Topics] Naphtaline:
To everyone coming here, please, if you don't have serious issues with your battery, never ever drain it to 0. And over all, never ever try to start a phone with a 0% battery.

A battery is always better at 40-60%, not more, not less (you can find a lot of battery care articles on the web explaining why).

This calibration method is probably a way to solve a problem after flashing your phone with a custom ROM and after that, you see wrong battery percentage (like if your phone switch off before 3% remaining).

But please note that draining your battery to 0 will decrease its capacity permanently (and it can be by a huge amount if you insist to much). Also charging it to 100% everyday can decrease your battery life faster.

In an everyday use of your phone, it's better by a huge amount to charge your phone as often as you can and unplug it around 60-80%. You will see a difference after years.

Do you know why a new phone is around 50-60% battery when you buy it and switch it on for the first time ? Now you know :)
[General Topics] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The OP isn't going to love me at all. I just know I'm going to get a "nobody asked for your opinion" comment from him. He's right, nobody did ask my opinion, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to give it anyway. So, while I thank the OP for his enthusiasm and his attempts to provide something useful for Pixel 6 owners, I strongly advise caution in following these tweaks.

Out of the OP's list, the only things I could agree with would as follows: advertising ID, always on display, system dark mode, animation scale, and systemwide removal of ads. That last one however, I use Blokada for as I feel it's more effective.

OP should explain his reasoning behind each and every one of these changes in this list, so the people he is trying to help can understand his reasoning here. I've been mucking around the guts of Android devices since Android 2.1 and even I would like to know why he chose these things. I'd like to know because most of them seem to cripple the functions of the unit, i.e. negatively impact the Google experience. For example, gestures - gesture navigation - he says to disable. Why?

Some of these tweaks have little to no effect, could actually do more harm than good, or have better options available.

Battery Calibration - Totally unnecessary and only serves to waste battery charge cycles, which you do NOT want to do with a battery trapped in an aluminum frame between two slabs of glass. Battery calibration apps are unnecessary as the only thing they do is delete batterystats.bin, which Android automatically does upon removing the unit from a charger. This has been a known fact since around 2012.

Apps lag using CCleaner - Ignoring CCleaner's reputation since its purchase by Avast, lag from apps on a Pixel 6 is debatable. In any event, SDMaid I feel is a better option than CCleaner, especially as it functions quite nicely for debloating.

Fix OLED Burn-in/Ghosting - The disable gestures tweak could accelerate burn-in along the bottom of the display as the device would have to revert to the 3-dot navigation option. Any burn-in the screen does acquire would have to be rather light in order for an app to fix it, but so long as the wear is light an app will work. I have seen some very extreme examples of burn-in on an OLED screen, and no app would help those.

And then there is the bloatware section. Why in the hell is it that everyone and their mother still recommends deleting apps from the system partition instead of disabling them? Seriously, in the early days of Android it made sense. Now, it's only a waste of time, especially on a device whose system partitions are set to read-only in the first place. Using SDMaid or Titanium Backup and freezing, i.e. disabling, apps is far less likely to cause problems. If I recall correctly, the freezing function does not require root access to work.

My thoughts...take them as you will. Most of this stuff I won't bother with, and the things I do bother with I've already done.

Hey, i personally appreciate the time and effort on this thread. Thank you.

I was reading online 9to5 about a battery drain issue with Google Messages and the Stock Camera app. Somehow messages keeps phone active trying to connect to the camera app in the background. Possible solution is to remove camera permission from messages.

Here's the link...

Google Messages bug leaves camera on in background, draining battery — Here's how to fix [U]

A new bug in Google Messages leaves your camera on in the background, quickly draining your battery and heating up your device.

9to5google.com

On another note i use Shizuku app for freezing apps, battery, sound, and other things, for optimizing.

Would that be another method for some optimizing or would you recommend this thread instead?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Hi, you're welcome, I'm still trying to make it as good as my OneUI optimisation thread.

For that bug, i already stated in OP that you should always check periodically for excessive permissions, especially hardware like camera and nearby devices. I personally never had this problem.

For the freezing apps, i advise better deleting them using adb like stated in OP.

Feel free to suggest anything i can add.

[General Topics] Opensystem:
I just wanted to suggest that OP lists a disclaimer at the start about what kind of side effects some of these processes have, and what potential benefit you stand to make with each tweak.

Some of these I would certainly back up and recommend, while some as others have pointed out would be at best questionable changes with a potential impact on day-to-day usage. I'm not gonna say a guide like this is necessarily a straight up bad thing with no place because it disabled certain aspects of the device...but it should be accompanied by an explanation of what these changes do so if someone stumbles upon it without the knowledge they need (I got here from a Reddit post) they don't start having issues with Google Maps or something and can't understand how to fix it or avoid it. I always try to assume when creating a post like this that I'm explaining it to my tech illiterate mother, so people don't start biting my head off because they "can't see their clock when the phone is set down" etc

you have updated the hz to 120.0

is it for the pixel 6 or the pixel 6 pro?

While playing songs on bluetooth in my car when I take snaps or video from my phone ; The video comes with a disturbing crackling sound

Any fix?

[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Hi, thanks for your input, I'll take it into consideration.

Please note that all what's in OP isn't just a copy past from the internet, it's a research and test (Started here) and rest assured i apply 100% of it on my own phone before suggesting/proposing any tweak to the public.

Also, if you apply all of the tweaks, one by one, Maps will still work and clock will also show, so don't worry about that.

As for the debloat list, obviously, if i suggest you delete Maps, but you need it, you'll uncheck it before applying preset and that's it.

I will however put a disclaimer, since people here aren't as welcoming and supporting as on S21 forum.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Hey, you're welcome!

For the refresh rate, it's a hardware limit, so setting P6 to 120hz won't do anything, it'll still run at 90hz. It's rather a limiting factor actually.

For the heating issues, just debloat

(from play store)

Carrier Services provides services to support RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging in Google’s Messages app. It collects diagnostic and crash data to ensure these services operate smoothly.

Rich Communication Services - Wikipedia

It is also marketed as Advanced Messaging,[3] Chat, joyn, SMSoIP,[4] Message+, and SMS+.[5]

its for messaging not cell service or reception

some sources think it can be disabled altogether but i have not verified that..

some people even claim that google messaging does not even use RCS yet so it just reports on your messaging like the phone dialer did

2 - There's a difference between theory and practice, that's why we TEST, we don't just read descriptions around here, this is XDA.
