One step closer to a passwordless future

Over the next year all major device platforms have committed to building in support for passwordless FIDO Sign-in standards.

blog.google

What will be the likely pros and cons of the upcoming passwordless sign-in? (I know I'm asking for speculation at this early stage.)

Does anyone know if Android/Google's FIDO standard passwordless sign-in will be open source? More Android or more Google?

Would XDA include FIDO standard passwordless sign-in for Lineage OS?

where can i find the favorites in TF3D / Opera? i wanna make a backup of them
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
Hallo mate,

It's a pity that no one replyed to your question so I used SKTracker today to find out what you (and me too) wanted to know. And the bookmarks are stored within the file:

\Windows\Opera9\opera6.adr

And I've once heard that bookmarks can be synchronized with the PC when you have Opera also installed on the PC. But I've never tested this so I'm not sure if it's true.

HTH
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aw000002:
Thanks for your help, this really saved my a... now I dont have to go re type all my bookmarks.

Thanks again.

Alan.

I've install MTK Drivers and none of them work.

My phone won't show up as a MTK device
[Realme 7 Questions & Answers] immns:
it shouldn't have to showed up as MTK device. when you flashing using spft, the default windows driver will do just fine (USB Serial Device). you can change it manually assuming your mtk driver already installed.View attachment 5611989

EDIT: I just checked in chrome and adblocking is working fine. Is there a way to fix this in Samsung browser without? Even with the Adguard extension and antitracking features, it still fails to block 90% of tracking stuff and ads based on a couple AdBlock tests I use. All of it works perfectly in chrome, without even the need for any other software like Adguard. I thought AdAway worked on a systemwide level so apps can't forcefully show ads because the connection is literally blocked...?

It blocks some ads, but fails to block way more. As soon as I use the Adguard extension for Samsung browser (I use Samsung browser, prefer it over chrome for a ton of reasons) then all the ads get blocked (but almost no tracking stuff, despite Samsung browser supposedly having antitracking built in).

I've tried adding a few of my favorite lists to AdAway from ublock origin and blokada, and again, they do block a few things but nowhere remotely near what they should be. Something is fundamentally not working.

What is going on? AdAway has generally worked for mw on other phones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
I'm unrooted and did use ad block fast and that let some ads through especially on xda then I used abp and that blocks everything even add on xda I'm using the Samsung browser as well
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
I realize there are VPN options and Samsung browser extensions, but I'm referring to AdAway, the root ad blocking solution, which is superior to all of those for a number of reasons.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
True I knew you ment root version but thought I'd comment sorry it not much help
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
I have used adguard for years, it has givin me the best results above every other ad solution. Yes you pay for it, but for 30 clams it gets you 9 devices and it's lifetime....I purchased 3 plans and gave codes to family members and friends. A few of them said it changed their lives 🤣

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
Can we stay on topic? For the third time, my question is about a rooted device using the root-based as blocker called adaway.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
You got it. Adaway uses an antiquated system as NEW ad's utilize some new crazy backends/whatnot that Adguard updates daily. Forgive me for trying to put my two cents in.

But it seems like your expectations are too high and you're disappointing yourself. To say it worked fine for Other phones, which I am not denying it didn't as I used to use adaway back in the day too, doesn't mean that it SHOULD work on newer phones. it has just become too much of a hassle to be consistent IMO.

BUT. I am out. Goodluck!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
That's not the issue. There is not a better adblocker than root-based adblockers, and there is not a better root-based adblocker than AdAway.

It works fine in chrome, and in Samsung browser beta, and in all apps system-wide with none of the issues of non-root VPN-based adblockers.

My issue is how to fix it not working on Samsung browser.

I should have been more clear about that in the OP. There is nothing broken in AdAway—the issue is in Samsung browser specifically (and only the stable channel build, as this issue isn't even present on th beta builds), and so I'm seeking info and solutions regarding this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jericho246:
Just use NextDNS at router level instead of fiddling with this garbage.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
And never use my mobile phone with cellular data or outside of my home? Speaking of garbage....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jericho246:
There's no perfect solution.

NextDNS at home. Works great. As for mobile data, you could always switch to another browser, preferably Brave Browser.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
Stop derailing the thread. I'm not asking about alternatives.

This is a thread seeking info about Samsung browser bypassing adblocking from AdAway.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lottarake:
More appropriately, you should be asking AdAway related questions in the correct thread for AdAway.

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-root-nonroot-official-adaway-v5-12-0.2190753//unread
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cpufrost:
Actually NextDNS works *everywhere* if implemented correctly.

Adblocking in AdAway, Adfree, et-al is easily bypassed especially in apps.

The irony in (garbage) is the Samsung browser... ;-)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
You said it before I did.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
I'm not sure what could be causing such a problem aside from the Samsung Browser ignoring the normal hosts file location, thus leading to the ads not being rerouted/blocked.

Only other thing that I can think of that might cause this issue is not having the systemless hosts module installed in Magisk, however, AdAway wouldn't work on Chrome either if this was the case...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
The samsung browser might have a data saver or dns over https setting (or maybe a load pages faster type option) . If so those features bypass hosts file. Really this is better served in the adaway thread suggested to you earlier, your issue is not device specific (adaway works fine on my p6p and firefox browser) . I say post there (or even better on samsung browser's forum if such exists).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
I concur, AdGuard is by far the best ads & trackers blocker these days, so yes, off topic 🤪, I would suggest giving it a try.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
That person doesn't want help 🤣
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] plasticarmyman:
Install the certificate....it helps a lot, also yeah ..add a **** ton more lists. How many do you have blocked?

I'm at 72k+ blocked on my list and I still have some that get through
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Harshatxda:
Adaway was working fine for me. Suddenly it stopped blocking ads from all places. Device is rooted, sufficient root right given. But just not blocking. Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
While AdAway might still be working, it's outdated and no longer competitive. Ads, trackers and online fingerprinting go way beyond a host list these days. I would strongly suggest buying AdGuard.

I've used both and, when properly configured, AdGuard is far more effective in stopping both, ads and trackers as well as preventing fingerprinting. In fact, I've been having virtually 100% success rate with AdGuard - again, once properly configured. Being rooted also gives you a lot more options and flexibility in configuring it, to suit all your needs.

Lastly, if you don't have a VPN, I would also strongly recommend AdGuard VPN. It integrates perfectly with AdGuard to give you excellent protection as well as privacy.

I'm not affiliated with AdGuard in any ways however, I got to appreciate it a lot for its unequivocal effectiveness - it just works! 😁

You can also check whether

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

"BlockStaticActiveX"=dword:00000001

is enabled (hence = 1) and disable it (hence = 0).

You can also change that setting (Block static ActiveX content) with Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] RagnarEldur:
Many have posted several methods to properly install Viper4Android but none of them have worked for me. So I made my own method that works for me, it's really easy and short. Hopefully it also works for you.

Here's the instruction video:
[Xiaomi Mi 11] furomin:
If you get to the driver installation loop like me did, just flash AML, ACP and IMPORTANT flash Dolby Atmos ZTE A2019 Pro Magisk Module from Pling and then Viper FX. It should also then work in non-Legacy mode. In fact t least Spotify only works in non-Legacy mode!

Have fun!
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Sage:
does it make much difference to the audio?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] furomin:
To be perfectly honest, not that much... Was definitly not worth the hassle and the 3€ for the .vdc! But I'd not consider myself as an audiophile, who knows... 🤷‍♂️

At least you can boost the volume a little.
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
Hi !

I just updated my Vivo V21 5G to Funtouch OS 12 and it seems to be lagging after some times. Also I have an audio glitch when recording videos (there).

Do you experience this issue too ?

Thanks !
[Vivo V21 5G] MiquelX3:
Yes, i expirience the same issue, but the vendor on the bugs reported does not fix it since Feb, so i don't expect lagging willa be fixed...
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
I just received the PD2083CF_EX_36.9.11 update. Looks like that's just a security update. After few testing it's the same.

In my case the VIVO V21 runs slow after using Android Auto in my car. As this feature is a part of the system it could be the issue.
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
New update : PD2083CF_EX_A_36.9.14.

Not tested much but I used Android Auto today and no lagging when I unplugged my V21. Maybe they add a fix in this security patch.
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
Tried update PD2083CF_EX_A_36.9.14. It seems do not fix a thing. There's also an audio glich that appear randomly when recording videos. I also tried wipe everything and reinstall system and that's the same. Android Auto still makes V21 lagging after use.
[Vivo V21 5G] DerLeoLeo:
I updated to PD2083CF_EX_A_36.9.15 on tuesday.

I had the same problems than you. Very laggy after using Android Auto with AA Wireless.

With the new update it runs much more smoother than before.

Previous the update I had to restart the phone after using Android Auto because it was slow as hell.

Now I have no problems at all.
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
I just recieved this PD2083CF_EX_A_36.9.15 update too and it seems it fixed Android Auto bug. I'll test more but it looks smooth now.
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
After few day I confirm PD2083CF_EX_A_36.9.15 fixed Android Auto bug. Still have that audio glitch mentioned in the original post. I contacted the support but I'm not sure they understood that is a bug. Wait & see.
[Vivo V21 5G] Jiti:
Update PD2083CF_EX_A_36.9.19. Wiped all data and started from scratch. Still have audio gliches when recording a video.

Hi

I have an 02 Orbit on the original WM5.1 and trying to find a new ROM with new and improved UI. In particular i am trying to find a ROM that has a large keyboard for typing sms's and email's so that i can avoid using the stylus.

I have noticed most roms have a nice large keypad for dialing out but not sure about abount the messaging side

Does one exist for the artemis/orbit ?

Thanks everyone
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] y_bother:
well this is easy... just flash the ROM you like and then install EZINPUT which a larg keyboard :D

or try POCKETCM keyboard

excellent just what i was looking for :-)

i notice you have the same device as me. would you say manila is better than the touch roms?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] wallacehome:
ezinput version ?

Hi, am I being a bit thick here ? My rom version is 3.15.110.2 WWE but all the downloads for EZINPUT say that all the cabs and language packs are for 409 wwe roms only. Does this mean I cant install EZEinput ?

Hello,

I am new to the forum.

I (not so recently) purchased a ProX-1 phone with Lineage OS on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform and look forward to (finally) receiving it. (Crowdfunding is not for the faint of heart). I've never used Lineage OS before and I'm really not that technically savvy. Savvy?

And I posted a thread in the General forum asking a few questions related to passwordless sign-in and Lineage OS. Hopefully, I put that thread in the right place and did not duplicate an existing thread. Moderators will fix it, I assume, if I did.

I've never been much of a forum person, but that could change since soon (I hope!) I will receive a phone with Lineage OS and I know nothing about Lineage OS.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
Has anyone used these headsets? I had a jawbone 1 and it worked "well" but the earpiece kept braking. It was held together with some cheap clip or something or other. So any advice here would be great.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pctan1584:
Hi, I'm using Jawbone2 and it is the best BT headset I had ever used! Have used several model SE, Jabra, Nokia and other brands and nothing compares with the Jawbone2 especially on noise reduction.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam0406:
I am using jawbone 2 with X1 too. Thats good

the bad things are bluetooth randomly off on X1 and no voice command in x1.

But still happy with that
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
How is the fit? The jawbone never fit in my ear so i had to get a custom earpiece from averysound. Does the jawbone 2 fit in ur ear well?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffa:
Fits perfectly for me. It comes with a total of 3 different ear bud sizes with several removable ear hooks. Best headset I've used. My only complaint is the button on the side presses too easily. Without a case (and they're hard to find) it's easy to accidentally turn it off in your pocket or hang up on a call.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pctan1584:
It fits my ear well, no need to change or even used the ear hook. What came out of the box was good enough, no need for the extra hooks or the rubber
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edvard_Greig:
I couldn't get the jawbone 2 to fit my ear right- I ended up taking it back and getting the Z9i instead...I can only speak to these two headsets, but the Z9i is sooo much better imho.

I like the button/usability of the Z9i a bit better, plus the fact that it can simultaneously pair with more than one phone is quite handy as well.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veej:
I have a Jawbone 2 as well as a Plantronics 925 and I always ended up with the Jawbone instead. I only use BT in the car and the Jawbone has this auto off function that makes it usable for 6-7 days on 1 charge.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
hmm I was afraid of that but can't the jawbone connect to more than one phone too?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
I currently have both (Z9i for several months and just got my Jawbone 2 today). Here is my take on both:

BlueAnt Z9i:

Is a nice unit small compact and alot of functionality. There are a lot a great reviews even those that say it better than the Jawbone from those that have both. The volume is nice and loud, in fact I find myself turning it down sometimes. For me though I get alot of "static" at time (some worse than others). Sometimes people can hear me ok other I have to actually turn it off and just use my handset. Noise cancellation when turned on actaully make it worse for those on the other end of the line. I sometimes also hear static on my end. I think, and hope, this is just an issue with my particular phone (AT&T Tilt/HTC TyTN II). And this after I upgraded the firmware to V1.1. I hope this will be fixed and I can get this unit to work with out "static" for me. Now I think it my just be the compatability with my phone, so you may have a different expierance.

Jawbone 2:

Smaller than the original, well skinnier, but still long. I had no issues with the fit and find it cmfortable with the ear piece and hook it came with. Had no reason to try the others. It works VERY WELL with my Tilt. Made a few call and people can hear me better than they did with my Z9i. I find the volume plenty loud so far and that was a concern I had. The shell itself is the button, so to speak, and I find it easy to accidently push it when touching the unit. I accidently hung op on my friend during a test call. But with a little time I should learn to be careful when touching it. Voice dial requires you to push the Noise Assassin button (on the back end) for two second to activate. I like the Z9i better in this regard, it just requires a single button push to function.

Overall:

I will be using the Jawbone 2. I really realy like the Z9i and it's abilities but the Jawbone 2 just works better when it comes to call quality. The noise cancellation on the Jawbone also seems to be far superior. If it work for you phone it a great bluetooth and a price that is not too bad, especially compared too Jawbone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
I just received my jawbone 2 and i must say its pretty nice. It doesn't stay in my ear if i'm jumping up and down but just walking around it works pretty nice. Luckly i still have my custom earbud from averysound and that thing fits snug in my ear and i can do a backflip and it will stay in my ear. Its much smaller than i thought it would be which is really nice. Thanks for all the help everyone
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keland44:
i heard a lot of good stuff about the plantronics 925 also one of my friends called me and tested a call on that today actually sounded pretty clear with and without noise cancellation

how much did your custom earpiece run you from averysound? I've been thinkin aboug getting one for my old jawbone
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
I believe it was 67 bucks and those guys at averysound have the best customer service i've ever dealt with. I did some research on the plantronics 925 and from what i read it can't hold a candle to the jawbone II. I had a jawbone I and i was pleased with its sound quality but the build quality was just awful. Its like a 5th grader designed the thing. This seems way more sturdy and there are more volume settings than just 3. I like this a lot.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XBOHDPuKC:
does the averysound earpiece from jawbone fit jawbone 2? I remember having some metal ring putting into the earpiece to fix the jawbone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t.sjostrom:
I use the Jabra BT530, and I like it a lot, I think I have bought 10 BT headsets in total.

The last one I bought before BT530 was the Blueant Z9 (not the i version, it was not available in Europe)

Blueant compared to BT530

the fit and the practicality of BT530 won me over, I use it without a ear hook, and then it is really easy to have in my pocket and just put it in my ear when I need id. Don´t feel comfortable having it in my ear all the time, and a ear hook makes it so much harder to easy insert and remove. You get a lot of eargels with it, and I could find one that fit my ear perfectly, a slight uncomfort for longer use.

Sound wise, the first call I made with my Z9, the guy in the other end complained... The BT530 they did not. Not very scientifical but I feel very safe talking in the BT530 that the sound is as good as possible, however it is not as good as the internal mic on the phone.

Regarding the complaints about my first call on the Z9, it was made with my Iphone, and I have now learned that it is lousy with bluetooth, I can not recommend Iphone with bluetooth at all (actually I can not recommend Iphone at all, don't know what I was thinking when I bought it...).

Xperia is as far as I can tell excellent (had a Nokia E71, and it is not at all as good with bluetooth headsets)

Actually talked to a market manager at Jabra, and they do tests for all phone makes, and according to them Sony-Ericsson is in general better than other manufacturer (maybe because they invented the thing), and I can see that it is the case also in Xperia. Have used a couple of HTC phones as well Tytn, S730, S710, and they all where lousy when it came to BT headsets.
