[Fire General] AmznUser444 Dev:
Amazon announced a new Fire 7 (12th Gen, 2022) released on June 29, it comes with a new Fire OS 8 (based on Android 11) and it has a 2 GHz quad-core processor and a 2 GB of RAM. It is still hackable with @Datastream33's Fire toolbox or ADB? And Google services still works?

Lucky for us, the commands the Toolbox uses should work on Android 11 as well (some tools may need to be tweaked a little bit). It's just of matter of what restrictions the OS has on launch. They've been cracking down lately so it will be interesting to see. But, I doubt they'd block ADB as that means app developers would have a hard time coding apps for the Amazon platform.
[Fire General] Denverfan9:
anyone attempt root? i know i can pull stock rom with SPflash for boot img for magisk but is the bootloader unlockable
[Fire General] jakemastaflash:
I'm game to attempt it. Haven't opened or registered yet. Was going to run through toolbox testing.

How would you even go about it given the new Fire OS 8 and typically hardware locks on bootloader?

I just got the amazon fire tablet 7 (12th generation)

I was able to get google play store installed with tool box and remove the lock screen ads. I also disabled a lot of things in the settings to help speed up the tablet. I ran into issues getting a launcher to work but I found an app called one button navigation that puts an overlay over top of the fire tablets buttons and then I set the overlay to send me back to my launchers home screen. I found Niagara to be the fastest launcher. I also was successful at disabling all the amazon bloatware

I am pretty happy with the results but I still would like to root the tablet to get a real launcher support, I also would like to change the home button to something more fluid and not just an overlay. Possibly see if there's any more settings I can tweet with root access to increase the speed a bit as well. Has anyone been successful at rooting this device?
[Fire General] m.r.davies:
I got the kids the new 7" Amazon tablet for Christmas 2022

It's pretty slowly probably lots of bloat, would love to get normal android on it... Is this theoretically possible as I want to use family link to lock apps/time limits down.

Hi!

Recently a bought a {Mod edit} in the black market and i discovered that my phone was reported as robbed and my IMEI is blocked. So i was looking for how to fix the problem and one of the solutions is to change de IMEI number but the easy way is only with {Mod edit} and this phone does not have it, it has a {Mod edit}. I was surfing all over the internet looking for help but i couldnt find anything.

My questions is, how can i fix this problem? Do you know a way to change the IMEI without MTK Processor? Or do you know another effective way to do it? I already have ROOT.

Many thanks in advance!
[General Topics] Oswald Boelcke:
@LucasFer01

Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed, moved and edited your thread! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

XDA Forum Rules (excerpt):

At least in my country you don't gain legal ownership of a robbed items even if you legally purchased it; however, as you bought it on the black market you even didn't legally purchased the device. I suggest to hand the device in at your nearest police station that it can be given to the legal owner.

And as a friendly warning, do never again post such a request on XDA!

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] RockyAJ:
I've had the 11t pro for a little more than 2 months and even though it's not the best device out there, it does a pretty good job for a budge phone with such specs(in my opinion)

a few things I've noticed and not sure if others share the same frustration are:

after upgrading to miui 13.0.4 I noticed in top left corner (mic/cam)icons that show up when I open any app using them...any way to disable them?

when playing a game, I noticed phone sometimes lags so badly(though it's not a demanding game, visual wise) and I can't even have a whatsapp video call while playing without phone going terribly slow until I end the game.

sometimes out of the blue, the phone becomes super laggy even with no apps running, and I can't figure out what is causing it, so I end up restarting it.

if anyone has noticed anything else or has got any tips/tricks please share

p.s: is it doable to flash an eu rom on a device with global rom? I was told difference between both is google pay on european which doesn't exist on global, but I have it on mine.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] PhilipL2021:
The mic and camera icons is an Android 12 security feature to let you know when you might be listened to or seen, and I don't think it can be removed.

No idea regarding the game and slow downs. Sometimes with a major version change it is better to factory reset and set up from scratch, so that might help.

Yes you can flash different ROMs from other regions. The IMPORTANT thing is if your device came with a Global ROM and you unlock your bootloader and flash the Europe ROM, then you must not lock the bootloader again, if you do it will brick your device. You can put back the original Global ROM then lock again.

Hope that help.s
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] antykat:
After updating from 12.5.21 to 13.0.9 I have experienced lags in various situation as well. After that I unlocked bootloader and flashed xiaomi.eu 13.0.4, but it's not much better. Now I'm thinking about downgrading to xiaomi.eu 12.5.10 or stock 12.5.21, that worked very well.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
I use xiaomi Eu rom without any problem.

it is preferable for the first installation to use the script "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format" then for the updates"windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat".
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] antykat:
I know that 🙂 It was clean installation. On stock with MIUI 13 I had the same problems.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] PhilipL2021:
I'm now on version 13.0.9, jumped to this version from 12, clean installation. What I'm finding is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turnoff around 23:30 each night, this seems to be some deliberate power saving function when the phone detects the person is likely asleep, and I can see in my access point log exactly when Wi-Fi disassociates and turns off, only turning on again in the morning when I unlock the phone. This may be related to having DND turned on using the schedule option, this is set from 22:00, but I have this set to still be disturbed by my contacts, so need Wi-Fi to remain connected. This all worked fine on version 12.

I can't see any settings under Wi-Fi or battery management to disable this. Anyone else seeing the same thing or have a solution?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] PhilipL2021:
Did some more Googling, found others having the exact same issue, see

https://www.reddit.com/r/miui/comments/tlxjjh

Appears to be a deliberate power saving feature, where the option to disable it, due to a bug or oversight, isn't available.

What is it with Xiaomi and their excessive battery saving modes.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] RockyAJ:
wouldn't you find it under battery settings?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] RockyAJ:
sorry previous reply was for you, but I used quote, not reply
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] PhilipL2021:
That appears to be the bug in that the options to disable it are missing. There are no settings anywhere to disable it.

I have gt neo 2 global rui2, and can't get to fastboot. Deep Test APK doesn't work, maybe I have wrong APK, but tryed a lot of them. If there any practical advices, it would be great.
[Realme GT Neo 2] NotAnotherRookie:
Certain variant doesn't allow it. Me personally bought Malaysia variant and deeptest always fail. From searching it turns out realme have locked carrier region for certain country phone. Really sucks, bought this phone expecting to be able to flash custom rom later but realme decided to do a surprise butt **** on me.

i download a lot of files. and some i don't look at for weeks at a time after downloading.

lately Ive been finding directory's empty and files missing. some are documents, others are back ups of APK files, no pictures have gone missing however.

i can find no option in settings for auto cleanup, all that is turned off in my user apps under permissions.

i have never had this issue before but this is my first android over v9
[Google Pixel 6] liggerz87:
Stupid question do you have google files installed as that could be the culprit
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
its set to not remove permissions and clean up space, i hardly ever use it so ill disable it and keep checking, and ill remove its permissions first.
[Google Pixel 6] liggerz87:
Not sure then sorry not much help
[Google Pixel 6] liggerz87:
I remembered about this and then re read your post so not sure to be honest I tho6was this then realized your photos not getting deleted
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
well that just proves there is an automagicly service that deletes things on the pixel.

the question is could it be malfunctioning and deleting things it should not and without notifying the user?

you would think they would use a recycle bin so the user could verify if the files should be deleted.

Free up space on a Pixel phone - Pixel Phone Help

To free up space on your Google Pixel phone, follow these steps. This will help your phone run better and clear up space for more apps and media.

Open your phone's Settings app.

Tap Storage Free up space Tap the Menu .

Tap Settings .

Turn on Smart Storage

none of that exists on my device. and i cant find a setting for "safe storage"

i hope it is not on by defaut and only can be turned off with a vague command

its something to look into.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
files are definitely being deleted without me being involved.

8 files between only 24 hours to 5 days old. the folders are there but empty.

i have no cleaning software installed, nothing that should ever delete anything automatically. this is very annoying.

luckily i set up a nightly backup.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
after switching to a custom rom and installing every app i had before i have had NOT ONE file be deleted on my device since.

there is no excuse for files being deleted behind the users back.
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Are u sure that this is Files by Google?

Are the pictures backed up to Google Photos?

Never had an issue with Files by Google.

[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
i dont know whati s doing it. but the OEM rom (with updates) deleted over 200+ files off my device in 5 months. and left the directories that held the files empty.

some were images, some were epubs, some were apks files.

i used a sync app to backup the files, i don't use google services.
[Google Pixel 6] BugsDroid:
Running GrapheneOS updated to latest 13 and never had one file missing from my phone. Flashed phone with GrapheneOS at first power up before SIM went in back when I got it.

I'm wondering if there's a hack somewhere to add the Airplane Mode function to available 'Rules' , or if anyone knows about any planned additions?

At the moment, it's limited to:

Turn On Do Not Disturb

Set Phone To Silent

Set Phone To Vibrate

Set Phone To Ring

Adding Airplane Mode would be really helpful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shemeri:
Hi,

I am trying to develop a software for diamond where you can backup all inbox sms to a xml file for storage either offline or online (or both).

However, retrieving all sms in inbox is a bit tricky but using a third party dll file like Mobile In The Hand library could be done.

How can I retrieve sms from Inbox folder without using any third party libraries? There should a way of doing so since a third party library is doing it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Obsidian72:
I'm not a WM developer, but you could look at the source code of SMSImport, which is GNU licensed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shemeri:
thx

Thanks Obsidian72 but I have seen few examples on the net but all are C++ and unfortunetly I am not a C++ developer, but Java and C#

Would be nice to see any examples in these languages :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arix:
Well, if u write the program for your hobby and to learn it's nice..

Beside some SMS backup programs around , I found that most simple by using SPB backup (I guess with Sprite backup too) , and with SPB Explorer to the backup file you can read all your SMS inbox or restore TEXT (SMS) only...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shemeri:
something different

well, the idea is to make one that backs up your sms and store them either offline or/and online privately. Having said that, you also get to see the archive them and be able to see them too without restoring or so.

So, backup my messages, so I can delete all messages in my inbox and also be able to see the backed up messages as an archive both online and offline in my mobile just as if they were in my inbox folder.

:-)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cameraz:
I was having trouble with an app (Android Auto) so I disabled it, which I shouldn't have, because it hid the app on my screen. As a result, the app no longer functions with my car.

Can somebody please tell me how to UNHIDE the app? I have watched 20 YouTube videos on how to unhide apps, unfortunately, they all show things that I do not have on my version of Android 10.

Thank you!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kt-Froggy:
Should be pretty simple and standard... I am assuming you are running stock A10 - if not, the names of the options in Settings may be a bit different, but the idea is still the same. Go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App Info. Above the app list there is a dropdown - make sure "ALL APPS" is selected, so both enabled and disabled apps are listed. You should see the Android Auto on the list below, marked as "Disabled". Tap on it - it will open the app details, then hit "Enable". That's all. :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cameraz:
Thanks, but I did all of that! I see Android Auto on the list, but it is not marked as "Disabled." When I click on it, it appears as Enabled in the app details.

However, that's not the problem. The problem is that the app is hidden from my Home Screen. So, in order for me to access it, I have to go into the Settings, etc., etc.

Is there a way to UNHIDE the app so it appears on my Home Screen? Thanks.

PS: I am running stock Android 10.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
This is now normal behavior for android auto, the app is hidden and will only show in your car when you connect to your car (as far as I know there is no way to use it on your phone like the older versions), even if you add a shortcut to homescreen it will only allow access to the settings screen (I assume).

If it's not working with your car, go to settings>apps>android auto>storage> and then clear storage to reset everything. While there check it has all permissions granted.

If you want to use AA on your phone maybe consider sideloading an old version (from a reputable store like F-Droid) which still worked from the handset.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Colonel.:
Hey guys, so I'd be making a poll pretty soon about this question too as soon as I get a handful of recommendations from you guys about your favs.

Obviously, the major pillars of the criteria to judge the best ROM for our phone are

- The overall smoothness,

- Stability (bugs are acceptable but if all major functions of the phone operate without bugs, then minor bugs are absolutely forgivable),

- MIUI camera integration (the ability to shoot 4k 60fps Pro Mode 'Log' footage is kinda peak use scenario for me)

- The Least amount of overheating issues (I live in a hot tropical environment and my phone suffers from overheating usually during editing videos, to an extreme degree)

- Excellent battery life.

.-. Extra Rom Features are a welcome addition to the criteria for choosing the best Roms out there, as long as they're useful and stable. So please, it would be a big help to get to hear your experiences with the ROMs you're daily driving. Cheers!

Hello friends,

I recently changed the display of Huawei p10 plus. Afterwards I found out flash not working.

Then I checked camera, and once I opened camera, the app crashed and disappeared.

I didnt power off the phone before disconnecting display ribbon.

Is this the reason my camera got short circuit and now not working?

Please help.

Thank you all.
[Google Pixel 6] cloneman1:
Qualcomm has been very cloak & dagger about different versions of aptX adaptive, and aptX voice, and aptX lossless.

My main interest is aptX voice support. Since the google Tensor chip isn't a QUALCOMM thing, there's no official support for "snapdragon sound".

Does anyone know if someone can rip snapdragon sound from another device and put it on a pixel 6 with a custom rom?
[Google Pixel 6] mr.serfus:
see here

Does the Pixel 6 Pro include aptX, aptX HD, LDAC? Specs page is silent - Google Pixel Community

aptx is supported on the pixel so what you're asking should work, as long as you're using a compatible audio device
[Google Pixel 6] bobbarker2:
As already pointed out, Pixel 6 supports QCOM's aptX, aptX HD audio codecs. You couldn't "rip" support for additional codecs anyway, they are hardware dependent and rely on proprietary vendor binaries. No support for aptX Adaptive or Low Latency afaik.
[Google Pixel 6] boe323:
aptx is low latency?
[Google Pixel 6] cloneman1:
THis is a complicated question to answer "it depends".

HOwever, the product known as aptx-LL is not usually available with OS native bluetooth stacks, it's implemented usually with USB dongles that the computer or phone sees as a generic usb audio device. Thus, aptx-LL is vaporware without the use of a dongle.

Presumably the long term goal is for that to eventually be replaced by aptx Adaptive, which combines some of the LL & HD features to some extent. Unfortunately, it's become impossible to know which "Versions" of aptx adaptive are supported by various phones and headphones, because qualcomm's "snapdragon sound" certification is confusing to end users. Presumably, most devices support aptX adaptive, but it's really hard to figure out if a device supports aptX Voice (most don't), AptX TWS+ (most do?) and Aptx Lossless (still too new) which are all part of the "snapdragon sound" umbrella
[Google Pixel 6] regancipher:
I've just been through all this trying to find a device that supports Snapdragon Sound, as I review earbuds and need to ensure I am able to give them their best opportunity with supporting services.

Aptx-adaptive is quite commonplace now with most earbuds using the Qualcomm QCC3040 and QCC3046 chipsets, which covers many new releases from Soundpeats and Earfun to KZ, offering this codec as an option. Snapdragon Sound is a marketing term encompassing 96k Aptx-Adaptive and 32k Aptx-Voice, and very few products support it (QCY T18, Edifier NeoBuds S and Lollipods, etc.)

Whilst most 2021 Snapdragon phones support aptx-adaptive, I believe the only devices that support the three Snapdragon Sound codecs are those with Snapdragon 888 and higher processors.

I tried my Snapdragon Sound-capable earbuds on a few other devices and was able to get aptx-adaptive working but had some issues getting consistent 48k.

I ended up settling on the (otherwise awful) Xiaomi 11T Pro as the only others that supported the codecs at the time were Moto devices mostly only available in the U.S. I agree it is confusing and not particularly user friendly - there is no indication you're getting the desired codec, you have to dig around a fair bit to see what you're actually using. It's not even as easy as selecting LDAC or LHDC - seems like hi resolution sound is very much an afterthought.
