[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
Hello there, I recently purchased a OP10P (N2215) and I have some questions about the dark mode feature. Quick background info: visually impaired and damn near impossible to look at much less read black text on white background.

I am coming from a OP8 where it was possible to selectively choose specific apps that were forced into a dark theme. I have not noticed that feature on the OP10P. Is there a way to get the same functionality from a root/non root app?

Edit: already turned on override force-dark in developer settings and some apps still show in normal and not dark mode friendly theme.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
Bump. I really need some help. Anything that could potentially help would be appreciated

appreciated
[OnePlus 10 Pro] MrScarl3t:
You could enable dev settings and force darkmode on all apps
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
I already mentioned that I did that. There are still some apps that show in normal theme even with that on.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
If you are rooted darq still works per app selectable. Search for it on xda
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
Unfortunately I am not rooted. I've looked Into darq already as I had used it on a Huawei phone I once had. Remember reading an article on how it doesn't work properly on Android 12.

Also not to mention the app itself loads in normal theme. I know there is a way to use non-rooted as well but the issue is setting it up 😮‍💨

I appreciate the suggestion though
[OnePlus 10 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
I'm using it on a12 rooted and works the same s it did on a11. Also using it with lsposed
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
Got you, not sure if I want to bother with rooting. I might give it a try again and see if I can't get through the non-rooted setup process
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
So I am now rooted and running darq. Uber and some other apps still show in normal mode even though I have them selected in the list AND have always use force dark selected in advanced options. Any suggestions?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
I also use substratum themes. So that's also something you should check out. Also if the app has the dark option in the settings of the app you should use that instead of the dark mode. If the app doesn't support dark mode in it's code it won't work to use darq (ex Uber). You will need a sub theme.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ltw5ki:
It's weird because on my op8 Uber and all the other apps are able to show in dark mode when selected by the built-in app selector. Don't know why op would get rid of that option
[OnePlus 10 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
Bc oppo now runs op

Hi everyone,

let me preface this with saying that I have searched for similar threads to avoid redundant threads, and I didn't find anything similar to this. I apologize in case I somehow missed it and am accidentally making a duplicate thread. That said, let's continue.

I recently got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S. I really love the hardware - it's pretty good for its price; the battery capacity is high, I like the 90Hz refresh rate and the AMOLED screen, decent storage capacity, and the 33W fast charging is really cool too.

The software, however, is another story. Firstly, there is a lot of bloatware. Various stores, games, etc. that I never asked for. And even worse, secondly, on every corner there is a privacy violation. Every time I clicked on a different app, I needed to accept a different user agreement, privacy policy, or something similar. The camera app literally requires an internet connection and yet another ToS agreement to use. And I've looked into such an agreement to see what they do, and apparently they reserve the right to look at your screen's displayed contents. What. The. F-

I would really like to use this device as it is an upgrade over my current phone, but man, I'm not using it with the default software. For this reason I came here to ask about which custom ROMs are good for my purposes. I would like something that has few invasive features and other spyware, and is also relatively open for customization and such as I like to be in control of the hardware I own.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have yet to find a device specific ROM for this phone. Apparently they're hard to develop because the chip manufacturer (Mediatek) doesn't release their source code? You could try a GSI but that's beyond my skillset.

To make me feel a bit better about my privacy I've used Debloater to uninstall the bloat that I don't want on the phone at all. I then use AFWall+ to block the apps that I want to use but don't trust from accessing the internet.

Note that this requires rooting your phone, but that's straightforward these days.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] Gliese 832 c:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

I'm new to the community. Could you please explain me what a GSI is?

Those things sound like a good idea for the time being. I'll look into them when I have more time. As for rooting, I'm sure there's countless of guides out there. If you know a good one I'd appreciate it, but I'm sure that out of everything, this is the one thing I'll easily manage myself.

Though while this is a good temporary solution, I still feel uneasy about it as it's not necessarily specific apps, but the OS itself that does the spying, so I think I'll wait and see if someone else replies with more suggestions. Perhaps someone in this forum is some kind of custom ROM genius. Despite that, I really appreciate your reply and not getting judged for being new. Have a nice day/evening/morning (depending on your time zone).
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] aricooperdavis:
A GSI is a Generic System Image - basically it's a ROM that isn't tailored to a specific device, but will broadly work on any device. However this means that it's likely to be a little bit buggy on most devices. I don't know much about GSIs, but I'm sure there are threads on here.

I believe that the only Android 11 GSI that is still maintained is the Google GSI. You'd want the aosp_arm64_ab build for this device I think. I have no idea how well this would work, I don't even know how you'd flash it!

This is my guide for rooting this phone, it's pretty straightforward I think, once you've got the bootloader unlocked.

[Magisk] Andy3153:
So, I'm using an Oneplus 6 (enchilada) with the latest microG LineageOS build. My device has boot ramdisk, but it also has a separate vbmeta partition.

From what I can see in the instructions for patching, if my device has a separate vbmeta partition, I have to patch that too, but when installing Magisk to the image, I have no option to 'Patch vbmeta in boot image' that I can disable. And that results in no separate `vbmeta.img` file that I have to flash, according to the last step.

Is it fine to continue without patching it? Is it what I am actually meant to do? I know it says `optional` in the instructions, but I just want to make sure, the slight vagueness in the instructions confuses me a bit.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Nitz18:
Truecaller's Caller Id (both classic pop-up and fullscreen) do not appear in any version after 12.15.5, no matter how many permissions I grant. Its Call Recording feature stopped working long back even in Android 10.

I want to use more recent working versions.

Anyone has got a fix?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Space_Egg:
My phone is on 13.0.4.0 stable, it has already had one update, but that did not fix it. The problem is that whenever I try to cast to, let us say a TV, it will find it, show it is connecting, and then it fails, and this problem is with the miui cast (the one in quick toggles) and google cast.

As far as I have seen, this seems to be an issue with the media encoder, as scrcpy will not work either, displaying the encoder at fault.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue, because I use this often, and Xiaomi isn't going to fix this anytime soon.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alip82:
Hi, i have a new fire tv stick 4k max and it has 7.2.4.8 stock rom. After the device activation, it tried to upgrade to 7.2.8.5 and i stopped it via adb. I knew if i wouldn't stop it, i won't be able to use custom launcher (with home button) and debloating.

But, I bought this for hdr disabling function. This is a must for me. Device stock rom 7.2.4.8 doesn't have this function. I know version 7.2.5.5 has what i need: hdr disable function, custom launcher option, debloating and disable update via adb stuff etc.

So, i would like to know if there is a possible way to upgrade 7.2.4.8 stock rom to 7.2.5.5 ? Maybe with otg drive or some trick? I really need your help, Thanks...

A "su" binary not from Magisk has been

detected. Please remove any competing

root solution and/or reinstall Magisk.

What could be reason of that and how to fix it. :/ Maybe someone can help...
[Magisk] YoShake:
Found your thread while searching for a solution of the same problem.

I thought I will share a solution as finding useful info novadays gets harder every day.

Not to get into detailed description, generally it's caused by su existing in /system/xbin path, and in most cases shell is started with su privileges due to an entry in /system/build.prop

Just rename the /system/xbin/su under adb shell or terminal to for example ssu/zu/subackup whatever the name is and after reboot magisk shouldn't yell with a popup.

btw. I haven't encountered any misbehaviour of magisk, but for the sake of not getting this popup I made the change by the way of working with shell on other things.
[Magisk] AirForceNBA:
Hi I found that for some reason downgrading to android 12 PE works for some reason but when I update to android 13 EvolutionX it shows the popup do you mind sharing the command for adb on how to do this because it denied access for me when I tried remounting from r/o to r/w.
[Magisk] YoShake:
if rom you use is complied with adb root capabilites, then just use linux mv command after connecting to shell

adb root
adb shell
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/zu

if not, then maybe under twrp commandline it could be possible?

[Magisk] YoShake:
Did

Did you set rw on /system or /system/xbin?

Set rw on the top dir, not nested one in which you want to make changes, or you won't get permissions to change anything in any nested directory you set rw on.

Try to copy the file somewhere else and then delete it from its original path. But I bet you won't succeed. Maybe changing the owner/group and all permissions to 777 would do.

I'd also try in safe mode, or in native recovery mode (not twrp, assuming you still have access to it) using ADB
[Magisk] IgorAzure:
For me it disapeard by reinstalling magisk by the TWRP.
[Magisk] guideness08:
Are you try to flash Overlyfs first without any module in your magisk...

After you flash magisk manager in your phone and installed already, open it and then restart your phone.. then

First: flash only Overlyfs.zip in your magisk without any module installed.. then restart your phone

Second: download root explorer and grant root

Third: find su in system/xbin and rename it in ZU and save and delete zu then restart your phone

I hope I helped you with this post

Hi there,

cause most of you know the problem with TF3D Qvga and StandBy.

Could anyone here with knowledge of coding write a small app that acts like the standby timer in Windows Mobile?

I thought about something like that:

If no user action is recognize for time x, then deactivate TF3D (HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D","Enabled","0")

and device goes to standby.

If device wakes up (or pressing power button) TF3D will be enabled again.

I think for someone with knowledge in development it shouldn't be mouch action, but it would be great to have a fully working TF3D and i think driver development still will need some time.

So, if someone is able to do that, please, please, please:o

I will test everything.

How to Bootloader Unlock (Part 1 of 2):

1. You will need a USB A to USB C cable

2. You will need fastboot drivers on your PC

3. Unplug the power cable from your device

4. Remove the silicone cover from around the power plug (Might be hard it has adhesive on the back)

5. Plug the USB C cable into the now revealed USB-C port

6. Hold the volume + button and plug in the power cord (Smart plugs or switches help so you don't damage the ports by replugging them constantly)

7. Keep holding volume + for about 10-15 seconds (It is slow to boot to fastboot)

8. Once the device shows up on your computer in a terminal run the following command:

fastboot flashing unlock

AVB/DM-Verity Unlock (Part 2 of 2)

Unlocking the bootloader really does not give a lot to us because all the partitions are still being verified and the device will not boot if they don't match. Word of warning doing this causes the stock OS not to boot fully.

If you are coming from part 1 you can start right away, if not you need to reboot to fastboot again.

1. Extract the downloaded AVB unlock zip

2. Run either the avb-unlock.bat or this command in a terminal

at_auth_unlock.exe creds\

3. Wait till it finishes

4. Keep in mind the stock system does not boot properly with AVB off (It is weird some UI elements work but the boot animation never goes away)

5. To relock AVB in the future run the following command or the Avb_lock.bat:

fastboot oem at-lock-vboot!

Now that you are AVB unlocked you can flash the firmware/partitions from fastboot using the flash-all scripts located in the firmware zips.

Combined firmware: (Flashes both Factory and User firmware one to each slot)

User (Stock) firmware:

Debug/Factory Firmware:

AVB Unlock tool:

Various Screenshots:

Spoiler content hidden.

The firmware provided allows you to have adb and adb root on either debug or user. But the downside is with avb off the device can't access its Tee keys so the user firmware will not finish setup. But you can still install other apps and use root which allows you to fully turn off the security restrictions to allow you to edit files on the device. The commands you need to run are these:

Hi, sorry, i'm kind of a noob to this.

Finally realized i was in fastboot mode even though the screen stayed black. I was then able to do the AVB unlock, but then i'm not really sure what i'm supposed to do to get an Android Things flashed device.

Why can't Google Play Store update F-Droid apps (and what about GitHub/SourceForge)?

View attachment 5667173For this thread we can take as our testcase, the K-9 app (but it shouldn't matter what app we discuss as the problem appears to not be app specific).

1. Recently I wanted to update K-9 mail and the Google Play Store had a slightly newer version but it wouldn't update the F-Droid K-9 Mail.

The error (as can be seen in that screenshot above) was...

I never did understand encryption, signatures and certificates.

Can someone who knows this better than I do explain why I keep getting this message whenever I try to update an app from one repository that came from another repository?

In this case, we could have gotten this particular K-9 app from any number of repos, e.g.,

<https://k9mail.app/>

<https://k9mail.app/download>

In summary, what is the fundamental reason that we can't usually update an F-Droid app with the same app from Google Play (and what about the common repositories most of us also use such as GitHub & SourceForge)?
