[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] drb01:
The OneUI Home app was "Optmised". I changed it to Unrestricted which made no difference.

In a previous version of Android when I had this same problem I could just clear the app cache in Settings and the buttons would reappear. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Android 12. I have tried wiping cache in recovery which made no difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Do you have other battery optimization apps installed? Greenify, etc? These may be killing it as well.

You can still wipe cache in Android 12: https://mobileinternist.com/clear-cache-android

If you had a workaround in A11, I might suggest going back to that - you should be able to (for a while, at least... once the BL changes you won't be able to).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] drb01:
V happy to go back to a11, but Is there a way to go back to a11 without doing a factory reset?

And excuse my ignorance but what is BL?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
No, you can't go backwards without resetting.

BL = Bootloader. Samsung has been updating this and if you're on a later version, you cannot backtrack it (at least not on a Snapdragon phone). I realize now that I'm not sure which phone you have, so if you're on Exynos then the situation could be different.

As long as the A11 you're flashing has the same BL version as the one you have now, you can flash backwards that way. 5th digit from the end of the version number (eg G970U1UEU6IVD2) tells you the BL version. You'll need to get an A11 with the same version there, and it should be doable.

What's your full version number?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] drb01:
The full build version is SP1A.210812.016.G970FXXUFHVE1.

If there is a way to go back to a11 without doing a reset I'd love to know! Or of course just any way to fix this problem ..
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Sorry, I should have chased this down first - you have an Exynos phone, so you may have other options. You'll need to re-post and say you have an Exynos phone, and ask people about this again... maybe others who are more familiar with Exynos can chime in. Sorry for wasting your time with my Snapdragon-related info.

In the future, it's important to mention you have an Exynos phone... or say you have a G970F... the "F" means the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Junner2003:
The attached program was written only for experimental purposes. I just wanted to know how hard it would be to read / write to the devices REGISTRY without using 3rd-party dll's or runtimes.

Allthough it is designed to work on the ZINC II, it partly should work as well on the TyTn II with WM6.1 (and similar devices).

I have tested the program only on my Zinc II with latest ROM version 2EUU.1033.Zinc II VER 010 WWE 230 0825 and in a WM6.1 emulator.

Please don't expect much! As I said: it was only experimental and therefore it has only 4 options as you can see on the screenshot. Nether the less, it might be useful to 'not-so-registry-editing'-skilled Zinc II owners. In addition, if someone is interested: the options can easily be extended - I gladly will publish the source as long as the application remains freeware and upgraded versions will be posted here.

Simply download, extract and then copy the executable to your device - no installation required, just run it directly!

As always: Use at your own risk!

Great tweaker! Tried this out for quite some time. No problem at all. I'm would certainly wish that this tweaker will be developed further. Great job!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] _fm:
Looks great and usefull man,.

maybe you could add some more option so just like Schaps advanced config?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
How is this phone? I saw it somewhere unlocked for like $250-300 and was thinking about buying it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] liehuo:
This phone is very stable when you upgrade it to the latest ROM. The only problem I have is the RAM. It comes with only 64MB of RAM and after starting up, only a slightly more than 30MB of RAM is available for use. I uses Opera Mobile 9.5 a lot and once I open Opera, I can only open MSN. Anything more than Opera and MSN running, all opened application will close by itself to reclaim memory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thanks for the information. I have a wing so 30mb of RAM at start is amazing! lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] liehuo:
Oh... Why amazing? How much of RAM do you have?:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
After a soft reset and UltimateLaunch and WeatherPanel load up, I'll be lucky to be left with 13mb.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] liehuo:
Oh... So I suppose your wing is running on slow speed?:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
You can say that! lol

I am going to install Arch on my test laptop, but the installer gives you a lot of options for DE, some I've never used. I did a fresh install yesterday with Deepin, but meh, looks too, I dunno, childish? Anyway, I'm going to try another install before I reformat my Manjaro drive on my Desktop Dual Boot and make it my Daily Driver.
[Linux] ironLink21:
I really like KDE I keep going back to that one.
[Linux] karandpr:
XFCE is best for arch imo.

You can try Budgie which is very good but I would rather have Budgie on Solus where it's meant to be.
[Linux] HipKat:
I thought about Budgie, since I've never used it. I might give it a fly to see what it's like
[Linux] maoosonyourdesk:
i would have said dwm or i3 but those are not DEs so either kde or xfce. GNOME on arch is like going to mcdonalds to order some salad

I want to change my kernel on my a305f device. But how do I do it? And BTW, can I root it after I flash the kernel with magisk v23 ?
[Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers] SirKosichka:
just flash in twrp

9.0 version latest for OneUi

9.1+ for eureka ROMs

And yes you can install magisk
[Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers] AirmailSmgYT:
Thanks. But I have an exynos 7904, while eureka uses an exynos 7885. Does that have a negative effect when flashing the kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] learnermind:
I want a private rom or custom rom

I have some function or features to add

google free rom , or no google app in it.

will pay 1k usd ,who can customize it contact me. skype:sudhir.jatrana
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dirtybudha:
Also, Google makes the Android ROM base. So are you wanting to install a ROM that lacks the Google apps? There is a thread that shows how to remove system apps, but you might remove things that are required for Android to run.

I can understand the idea you have, but you may not be in luck for a working result.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ded_leaf:
it's definitely possible

I'm also looking for a way to get privacy on my Z Fold 3

Been pretty successfull so far with getting suckerberg out with modded insta and whatsapp, but Google is deep in the system and I desperetely need a rom without it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] boomdox:
Just use your 1000 dollars, and buy a pixel 6 pro and install graphene os, that's about as good as your going to get, unless you decide to build your own room based on lineage os, but with a phone this expensive, your not gonna find custom ROMs. Or look into gsi's and have a play with those, pretty much your only option or choice im afraid, unless you want a crippled stock Samsung ROM, which would be pointless
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Talderon:
Honestly man, if you are wanting to De-Google your phone and be able to do a lot of things like this, the LAST thing you should have done is go with such a new phone. Especially if you know ANYTHING about Android and Rooting. You should know that rooting is not always a thing and in the case of new phones, it can take a while to get it to where you want/need. Like YEARS.

What you SHOULD have done is gone with an older, more customizable phone that has a TON of ROM's and support in this regard.

In short, RESEARCH. Buying a phone that you want and then going out to the modding community and making a request like this is going to get you... well... pretty much what you're getting...

Good luck, but I can promise you that you are not going to get what you want 100%, but, I hope that the suggestions offered here get you close to what you want, but you're not going to get what you want with a Z Fold 3. :(

WARNING: YOU AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. THIS GUIDE IS WRITTEN WITH THE EXPRESS ASSUMPTION THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ADB, MAGISK, ANDROID, AND ROOT. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Prerequisites:

USB Debugging enabled

Google USB Driver installed

I recommend using Command Prompt for these instructions; some users have difficulty with PowerShell.

Make sure the Command Prompt is running from your Platform Tools directory!

Points of note:

The boot image is NOT the bootloader image. Do not confuse the two - YOU are expected to know the difference. Flashing the wrong image to bootloader could brick your device.

While the Magisk app is used for patching the boot image, the app and the patch are separate. This is what you should see in Magisk for functioning root:

"Installed" shows the version of patch in the boot image. If this says N/A, you do not have root access - the boot image is not patched, or you have a problem with Magisk.

"App" simply shows the version of the app itself.

If you do not have a patched master boot image, you will need to download the factory zip if you haven't already, extract the system update inside it, then patch boot.img.

If you prefer updating with the factory image, you can also extract and manually patch the boot image if desired.

Some Magisk modules, especially those that modify read only partitions like /system, may cause a boot loop after updating. As a general rule, disable these modules before updating. You are responsible for knowing what you have installed, and what modules to disable.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] gsausalito:
Hi:

Is there any way to unlock bootloader without disabling OEM UNLOCK option?

FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed) is what i get.

My son bought a pixel3a with a limited firmware "blackunicorn.sp2.2022p2.2022" and the bootloader state is locked, i can't enable OEM UNLOCK because this firmware do not show Developer Options, it seems a limited firmware with MicroG core installed.

I can access to fastboot but no adb.

Any help?

Thanks for your time
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
You mean enabling, and no. The OEM Unlocking toggle is a "safety" that allows unlocking the bootloader. If OEM Unlocking is OFF, the bootloader cannot be unlocked.

Yes, because OEM Unlocking is not enabled. It must be enabled to unlock the bootloader.

I've never heard of that build name. Google search for "Black Unicorn" shows a case brand, but nothing involving firmware.

The only thing I can suggest is perform a factory reset. then go into the settings and tap the build number 8 times. This should enable the Developer Options menu.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] gsausalito:
First pic

No Developers options after tapping 8 times in Build number

Thanks for your time
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
They may have hidden Developer Options under something else.

I've never seen a firmware by that name. Odd.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] gsausalito:
Neither me
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Did you get a message or anything when you tapped Build Number 8 times? It should have counted you down to 8 taps then announced that you're a developer. That's baked into AOSP unless whoever made this custom ROM removed it.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] gsausalito:

Hi Guys i am disappointed with the greek mui on my polaris and i have a question... "Am I The ONLY one with problem????? Why i can't see ANYTHING when i replace the original mui with the greek???

what exactly you are trying to do?

i have greek rom by ace hellas, and i replaced it by a cooked rom from XDA. Everytime i reverse to the official 6.1 + greek by ace hellas, everything works like a charm

any solution pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!:confused::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Vildar:
Hello all. Firstly, i wish to apologise if this isnt the right place. But its been a while since ive been here, and couldnt find a ULEFone section.

Ill try to be as descriptive as i can.

Ive got my hands on a ULEFone Armor X7 that was running Android 10. It came to me with the problem of when you boot it up, it complained about corrupted firmware. And i had to press the power key to continue. They tell me it happened when they clicked on a link from a message and it took them to some website ending in RU. The phone rebooted and then displayed that every time.

So i went to their support page, and downloaded all the files needed to restore the firmware to stock. Using the SP_MDT programm they provided, Followed all the instructions to the letter. And everything responded as expected.

Looking around with other users who use mediatek/ULEFone devices this seems to be the norm.

-Plugged into the phone while holding volume down. Started a Port scan using the software

-Then using the software i start a firmware upgrade on the 1 port my device was connected to

-Let that finish, and i should unplug and reboot the phone

Except when it came time to reboot the phone. It just doesnt power on now. And now when plugging into the PC it comes up with "USB Device unrecognised/damaged"

If i leave it unplugged for say 30 mins and try again. The computer recognises it this time. But when i try to do a port scan with the tool again, it just fails.

Tried various PC's and differeing windows versions. All with the same results.

Is this phone now basically a goner? Or is there a chance i can recover it?

And what would have went wrong?

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Hovatek:
I suspect you're going about it the wrong way.

You shouldn't be holding any button when you connect for flashing
[General Questions and Answers] Vildar:
This was what was mentioned in the manufactures documents for reflashing the firmware. As holding down volume down while plugging in puts the phone into bootloader mode.

Pressing nothing when plugging in doesnt give me anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Hovatek:
Why don't you try SP flash tool. I'm not sure if this model has secure boot but I'm guessing its DA file is contained in the zip you downloaded if it does
[General Questions and Answers] Vildar:
I will give this one a go (As soon as im able) and let you know what happens. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Vildar:
So this one gave the the same problems.

The DA Download bar goes to 100%. Sits there for a while then bails out.

However i did get a nice error message pop up that will hopefully help.

View attachment 5610885

Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] Vildar:
I have not managed to get much further than thia. My guess is the phone is hard bricked. No amount of different software/drivers etc seems to have any effect.

It gets to the DA Download phase at 100%. But then just sits there. And then failes out with the above message. From what ive read about this does indead mean its done for.

Thanks for the help all the same
