Hello,

I use my Kaiser to play music through my car stereo's bluetooth adapter (Pioner Avic D3). My 'problem' is that the phone automatically connects to the stereo for hands free telephone operation, but I have to go to Bluetooth settings and set the stereo to 'Set as Wireless Stereo' every time I want to play music or use voice recognition through the bluetooth.

So, does anyone know of an easier way to either force automatic stereo bluetooth (A2DP/AVRCP) connect. If not, how could I make a *.lnk that I could place on the start menu to run a macro that would do this for me? Any other ideas are welcome too!

Thanks

Look into Writing a MortScript that will do this.

Side Note: Officially This doesn't belong in ROM Dev. Moving to General. Thanks! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Search for A2DPSwitch. Little program that will toggle wireless stereo on/off when run. I mapped it to a hardware key (long press windows key) so that I can easily activate my headset.

Start menu is no good as you have to reconnect manually everytime the connection is lost anyway (when you get out of your car with the phone for example).

Just got mine yesterday and I'm so far enjoying it. tho I do have some questions that a lot of reviewers on youtube didn't really answer to.

How many speakers does this thing have? I've noticed on the top of the screen there is a small speaker bar and 2 speakers on the bottom of the phone, the one on the right seems fine but the left seems almost muffled or doesn't work at all. really hope I didn't get my phone damaged. Also have pixel phones always been quiet? (Had a honor view 20 before and noticed the p6 sounds significantly quieter) VidMate Mobdro

low brightness? This phone is dark. Gotta like put it on 80% brightness to see anything lol

charger recommendation? at the time I'm writing this, I've purchased a charger from Google but was wondering if the pixel stand is worth the investment

Would appreciate it if I can get some responses Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
The speaker on the bottom left is actually a microphone.

Hi all,

I recently took the plunge into the Android world of things and loved it. Everything was going according to plan, until I decided to try out the DSU loader and load a GSI package. Based on everything I read it shouldn't had cause any issues, but unfortunately it did. Once I rebooted the phone I received the dreaded "Your Device is Corrupted and Cannot Be Trusted" message. Unfortunately it all went down hill for me from there. A couple of things I know now and shouldn't have done without knowing more information was performing a "Format and Download" option on the phone. Had no idea I was going to loose other partitions that is not created by the flashing of the Rom.

I was able to get the Manufacturer Rom and flash it back to the device. Everything appeared to be working fine until I noticed that I was not getting any data for the battery management option. Another thing I noticed is that now my battery is rapidly loosing it's charge. Could this be related to the Cache Partition not being present? Is there anyway to get the Cache Partition back or recreate it by rooting the device? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Before commenting, I did try to search unsatisfactorily to see if there is a Samsung Galaxy M-52G corner but unfortunately it seems not.

My specific device is Android (Samsung; SM-M526B; Lahaina; arm64-v8a) v12 . In the inventory section, I had to add M51 although I don't own it and have only M52G.

My actual question is, can I root M52G, and does it use all the files, and resources that M51G uses?

I am on a Debian testing box (no Windows) so what sort of precautions I need to take. I do understand I would have to take a backup but dunno the different ways I can go about it. The best for me is to backup all the info. on a thumb-drive unless people think that is a wrong option.

Looking forward to know more.

Heya,

I have an ATT Tilt (8925), and was using one of Dutty's custom roms. The phone was working great for quite a while, until yesterday. Now it just boots and goes to the ATT splash screen (or HTC splash screen if I flash an HTC rom).

I have tried flashing the original ATT shipped rom, HTC shipped rom, and Dutty's again to no avail. When it looked lost, I called ATT and they offered to exchange it under warranty.

The kicker is, I don't know if they will accept it with Hard SPL 3.56 still on it. I have reloaded the original shipped ROM, but have no way to restore the SPL from what I've read, because I cannot get fully booted. Is there a way to restore the shipped SPL without having to copy the SPL to the phone? (maybe through MTTY or frankenkaiser?)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] parleyp:
I don't think they care what spl is on the phone. I have returned a few of them...just make sure the stock rom is on it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] akawings:
i did just see something about spl being on the phone when trying to use warinty... its on the wiki.... saw it like 2 min ago... can u run any rom on the phone? origional or home brew?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bmjcool:
I hope they don't care

Yeah, I'm really hoping that they don't mind it. I was able to flash the shipped rom, but I still can't seem to find anything saying how to restore the SPL without being able to transfer files to the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bmjcool:
Thx Cmonex

I did a lot of searching, but not enough I guess.

Thx Cmonex for your post and utilites "in Kaiser intermittently stuck in SPL? - Possible solution and prevention!"

Using this, I was able to flash SPL to 1.93.0000, which I assume came with the phone as I bought it only a few months ago. If anyone thinks I should go back to 1.56.0000, please let me know, as I now know how.

Thanks again for your help.

For VPN credentials, I have an IP, pre-shared key, username, password. However seems that this wonderful OOS12 doesn't have username/password fields anymore. Is it purposeful and if yes, then why would they remove these fields?

I can't use work VPN on this phone anymore, worked perfectly on my old Nord CE with OOS11.

And all options exist nicely on Nord CE OOS11...

My OnePlus 8 T-Mo is only turning on in bootloader after flashing custom ROM. I don't think my device is bricked though. There's no bootloop or hard brick. Whatever I do I can't go to twrp. I tried to format cache from fastboot and I'm getting this error

FAILED (remote: Getvar variable not found)​

I have no idea if this is a PC problem or my phone is actually bricked.

Big thanks for this creation. Im getting my first Flip tomorrow and this looks like an awesome app to use with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jagan2:
Awesome! Let me know how it goes! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] bbacon:
Been using this since yesterday and haven't ran into any issues at all, works great for a beta
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jagan2:
That's awesome to hear! :D

Stay tuned, more features are incoming... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] joancolmenares:
I used it on my flip 4 but ran into an issue with an app I use for work (3CX) it shuts the vibrating notification off after 1st vibrate and it goes silent. Had to uninstall in the meantime. Other than that I loved all the options and being able to open apps without having to open the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jagan2:
Hi there! I am glad you like the features.

Regarding your specific use case, I am not sure if I can try the App (3CX,) does it allow a public account? Did you enable the VoIP Caller ID for 3CX by turning on 'Universal Caller ID'? If so, that would be the likely cause of it, as supporting Caller ID for unknown Apps is 'experimental' at the moment. If you disable it, you should have no problem with your specific use case, let me know how it goes! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] joancolmenares:
I did disable it, I had it enabled only for the supported apps on my side but it continued to misbehave on me. I'll try a couple things later tonight and let you know

-------

UPDATE: Did a reinstall, restarted the phone and 3CX is behaving correctly now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] HDCowboy:
I remember when all the coverscreen launchers originally started you had to delete the Samsung Health app to install, is this still the case???? It would be awful nice to know before reading any further or bothering with the download and installation as I refuse to delete Samsung Health.

No, you don't need to uninstall Samsung Health.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jpeg9201:
Hi !

I've installed CSOS on my Z Flip 4 and I can't manage to use widgets...

I swipe from right to left as explained in the tutorial but it keeps showing samsung widgets.

EDIT : This issue is resolved in the latest version (100+)

The text written with keyboard (or voice dictation) does not appear in text field in gmail app.

But for the subject field, it is OK.

For SMS, with native samsung app, when text is written, the keyboard disappear so SMS can be sent -> OK

With google message app, as long as cursor is in the text field, the keyboard keeps appearing, even if text as been written and confirmed, the keyboard appears again and again... Text cannot be sent.

Otherwise, super great app, makes the z flip 4 a lot better !

I wish i can get the full version with unlock features but the high price and bugs stops me...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jagan2:
Hi! This is the original and first implementation, that discovered a clean way to display over cover screen of Z Flip phones. CoverScreen OS never required any dirty hacks involving uninstallation of other Apps or anything similar to that.

The hacky ones out there had come to full stop at development, it's CoverScreen OS which finally showed a real way to display over cover screen, added universal ability to add any widget and a ton load of other features.

Go ahead and try it out! :)

Hi there! To be honest, the existing pricing already is very hard to sustain the development efforts, because only a very tiny fraction actually contribute to the project and this is so niche that the small set contributors actually is really tiny. That being said, you can always email me, I might be able to do something for you! :)

BTW, even the most plain phone case for our Z Flip series costs more than the base lifetime subscription to CoverScreen OS, and here we are talking about a software that is continuously updated (released over 117+ versions so far) and enhances the experience of our $1000+ phone.

Hi there! Check out the latest version, it has now a one tap widget addition interface, directly from cover screen.

GMail text field - noted.

The keyboard has two options to enter field, one is a simple 'enter' and another is 'enter & send' (the send icon.) If one of them doesn't work, the other one should, try it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jagan2:
UPDATE: beta_100k+1_update​

​

100k+ downloads, thanks all, 116+ versions released! It costs less than a phone case to support the continuous development by a one-man army!

What's new?​

Smart Replies for chat messages! (English only)

New feature loaded super fast App Drawer - Grid/List, Columns 4/5/6, App labels, Fav Apps filter

Set default sort/filter for App Drawer - None/Fav Apps/Recents

Assign either landscape/portrait orientation to your Apps and let CSOS auto launch Apps based on your preference!

App Drawer can now display 'Notification Count Badge' for every App

Open your media Apps directly from Media screen of CSOS

Clicking on any ongoing media's Album Art/Song, Album name/Artist Name will open the corresponding App directly on cover screen

Set default keyboard to T9 or QWERTY

Add any widget to CSOS directly from cover screen with one tap (Extra customizations like widget zoom level, order etc can be done from main screen)

Several bug fixes with respect to stability

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botty.1963@gmail.com:
About 2 or 3 times each week, whatever I am watching on my Firestick 4K Max, the audio breaks up and the banner that you get on your TV when you switch inputs comes on permanently. The only way to get it back to normal is to go into the settings and do a restart. Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried it on different HDMI's but still the same.
[General Questions and Answers] antwoord:
Hi everyone,

This is the setup:

Phone: Samsung S4 mini (GT-i9195)

OS: Lineage OS (can't remember the version, but I guess 17.1 or 18.1)

Recovery: TWRP (can't remember which version)

After I had a phone call I put the phone on the table. Some minutes later when I came back the app switcher and back button backlight was on, but there was no reaction when I touched the screen or any other buttons. Removing and returning battery had no impact, as well as using the charger.

I noticed when I connected it to my Windows PC via USB cable, I hear the windows sound for connecting and some seconds later the sound for disconecting.

When pressing the phones power button for 10 seconds while connected to pc, I hear sound for disconnecting and a moment later the sound for connecting. In any case I can't see the device on my PC as it would normally be the case.

Before, when the phone was working I had a working setup for scrcpy, with ADB debugging activated, but this doesn't seem to work as well, so my noobish guess is that the phone does not load Lineage OS at all.

So here I am at the end of my knowledge and I want to ask here, what are my option in order to recover my data (all on phones memory, not SD card)?

Thanks so much for any help!
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Sounds like a hardware failure, if so if you can correct the problem... maybe a connector making poor contact. If it's the mobo you're boned.

Is the battery known good?

Always use the SD card as a data drive; all critical data goes there. Then redundantly backup the SD card to at least two hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Otherwise this can happen again.
[General Questions and Answers] antwoord:
Thank you very much @blackhawk for your answer and the attempt to help!

Yes, battery is OK

really, there is no way to get data from the internal chip?

wouldn't it maybe be possible to unsolder the chip and put it in a working s4 mini?

Yes, you're absolutely right. For long time I want to have a setup exactly as you have described. I started with it, but unfortunatley not everything was set to be synced with my NAS. Most of the stuff is on external SD, but some is not. With some apps you even have the issue that can't use external SD and which force you to use the onboard memory, like for example Signal does.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
The chipset is likely a BGA form factor, all the solder pads are underneath it. You need use a hot air station and have the skillset to use it.

It would then need to be reflowed onto the donor board. Some overseas houses might do it relatively cheaply. Not a common practice except by data recovery $pecialists.

The SD card should contain no running apps as it's bandwidth is limited. Apps that allow backup there like ColorNote can be auto backed up though.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Step one: When a crippled device makes a "bong" when connected to a PC, find out what it is.

Is it the bootloader, charger, fastboot, ADB, MTP or who knows what?

I find usblog.exe helpful. See: http://www.temblast.com/windows.htm

If you're on Linux, just do lsusb -v when it bongs.
[General Questions and Answers] antwoord:
Thank you @Renate , good tip!

When phone without battery gets connected to PC, this is what usblog shows:

View attachment 5687861

But what does it tell me now? How exactly can I find out in what state my phone currently is?

Next I wil try to get some linux running and see what lsusb -v shows me.
[General Questions and Answers] antwoord:
Looks to me like an acceptable solution if I can't get it any other way and really want to get the data.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Oh, this is an older device. You may have a chance. Do you think that /data is encrypted?

Right now you have the silly VCOM driver installed. I'm prejudiced against them. You'll still be able to reinstall it if this doesn't work.

Get Zadig https://zadig.akeo.ie/ and install the WinUsb driver on 05c6/9008

Get edl.exe from my sig.

C:\>edl.exe /lhello

Copy the output (minus the serial number if you care) and paste it here.

If it gives you can't read/can't write, do a LONG power press until it bongs and try again.

That slash-ell-hello is just something to get it moving. Next you'll use slash-ell-loader-with-a-serious-name.
[General Questions and Answers] antwoord:
Thanks again for your guidance @Renate !

I deinstalled the COM driver, installed WinUsb driver and run edl.exe as you have explained. Unfortunately it seems I always get:

Found EDL 9008
Could not read device

even if I do the LOOong power press until bong-move.

What does this mean and what options do I have left?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
That's strange. It's possible that you have a recalcitrant device.

I put some motivation in the code.

Go and download the new version of edl.exe

Make sure you have the new one, 136,704 bytes.

MD5 028533aaec778cc0c1357525a7bf503c
[General Questions and Answers] antwoord:
Thanks for the new version, but the output is unfortunatley not much different to before:

Found EDL 9008
Resetting Sahara
Could not read device

Eventually worth mentioning: I have a second Samsung S4 mini (with broken display). If I connect it to my PC, I get the connecting-bang, if I then run edl with your parameter the output is always:

Could not find EDL device
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
I think that this is so old it's using a different protocol.

Maybe you should check out https://github.com/bkerler/edl which is the "standard" EDL client.

(I was so frustrated with this Python version that I wrote my own native Windows version, YMMV.)

On your 2nd device it's probably in fastboot mode or something or even ADB.

That's why you should run usblog.exe on it.

A broken screen is not a big deal, you can view the screen even without installing any software.

Try adbgrab.exe It's much slower than scrcopy or something, but it works on (most) anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
I looked to see if that unit supports Sahara. I found this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/s4-mini-won...-pc-as-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008.3508606/

Maybe you should try getting your 2nd unit in EDL? If it connects then you know there is a problem with your 1st unit.

Maybe Samsung intentionally crippled EDL for security reasons?
