Yeah, when I ordered mine (By phone!) from Micro Heaven in the UK, they sent me an iPod Touch one not a Touch Pro one. I spoke to cust services and they confirmed that touch pro was on the order, just some tw@ in the warehouse picked it wrong.

Oh well, they sent me a prepaid return bag the next day, so at least they don't expect me to return it at my own expense.

Holy crap on a cracker!!!! i didn't receive yet, shall i afraid of the mistake??

Well this topic was switched me from Invisibleshield to Bodyguardz lol.

Any recommendations for avoiding getting fingerprints on the sticky side of the plastic?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] nbviper:
IIRC make sure your fingers are kept wet... But, just follow the instructions that come with it and you'll be fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] bpm2000:
Sorry - i meant my previous two non-fuze phones (nokia 6682 and helio ocean)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] tribalmunky:
You're forgetting the fact that the Fuze has a PTT button under the volume keys. The Touch Pro doesn't. The Bodyguardz will fit sure, but it will be covering the button, so some modification may be necessary, or just wait until they make a Fuze version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Maveaxe:
Fuze and Touch pro have a big difference in body style. The fuze is more boxy with a slanted battery case not rounded also it has different dimensions in width and height. So i would advise no one buy the touch pro version of Bodygaurd for the fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] nbviper:
Are you talking about the CDMA or GSM version of the Touch Pro? The GSM and Fuze appear to be nearly identical as far as I can tell.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] railfan:
FYI..

I just ordered the InvisibleShield and used the code: 2xgrqk as mentioned in the first post and received $4.99 off. The first code mentioned, cm8wrv, did not work.

Also using techound1 only gives $3.74 off.

It's nice that shipping is free even to Hawaii where I'm located- since shipping to Hawaii is NEVER free.

Hopefully, it turns out okay if it turns up at all! ;)

If anyone buy from bodyguardz... Can you sell me 1 of the 2 sets you're getting
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] jaaks:
Isn't the Touch Pro and HTC Fuze the same?

BodyGuardz Vs InvisibleShield

I finally received my InvisibleShield order... looks like my package fell behind the USPS driver's seat.

The Touch Pro (GSM) and Fuze are nearly the same... I ordered the Touch Pro InvisibleShield and only had to cut out the spacing for the PTT button, and there is a cut out for a front camera, but you can just not pop out the circle.

As far as BodyGuardz goes (if you order the Touch Pro kit for you Fuze), they usually pre-trim all of the exta material (InvisibleShield does not), so you'll have to live with the tiny hole in the front, but you should have no trouble notching out a hole for the PTT button.

Packaging is identical; Shield(s), Spray (watered down baby shampoo), & Squeegee (InvisibleShield = Rubber)

Coverage: I can only compare it to BodyGuardz on my Tilt, but it does not seem to be as good. Lots of gaps and completely uncovered top battery cover corners.

The material itself seems to be exactly the same, but I do like the fact that BodyGuardz gives you 2 sets.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] thinhvo:
I agree with everyone here when they say Zagg's TP InvisibleShield sucks. I'm not ragging on their product and fitment (overall) ... just the TP IS. Fitment is horrid! Keypad button shield does not cover TP's entire keypad. The screen protector and the back cover barely covered the sides nor does it correct the problem of the recessed areas (entire front plate and the camera trim on the back). Since some part of the phone are recessed, you're stuck with the "air bubble".

Also, the soap/water solution is a no no. The soap/water concentration will almost certainly seap in between the screen and front camera.

I'm still waiting on my refund. Sent their product back to them almost two weeks ago. Stay away from Zagg's TP IS unless if they released an updated batch.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] AllTheWay:
Well I ordered the BodyGuardz Touch Pro version. It is correct that it has a cut out for the front facing camera. Also it doesn't have a cut out for the PTT button. I am very impressed with BodyGuardz.

Everything fits perfect on my device with very minimal gaps between the pieces. It looks very clean and the device is by far more "grippy" then the original phone. I also like the way the BodyGuardz makes the screen feel now. By far better then the screen protector that AT&T gives you. The screen portion of it is rounded but I would suggest that you order the Sprint Touch Pro version. This screen portion of this one doesn't not have the cut out for the camera. However it doesn't have the cut out for the PTT button. I was easily able to cut out the PTT section and it still fits just fine on my Fuze.

What nice about BodyGuardz is that you get free lifetime replacements. So what this means is that if you end up selling your device or need to send it in for warrant you can either just use the 2nd set they send you or log into your BodyGuardz account. Request a new Guard and then when the new one comes in simply send the one you have on your device back to them. You will be able to do this as many times as you want. If anybody is still debating about what company to choose from. BodyGuardz all the way! Plus any additional purchase you make on any BodyGuardz product you get 20% off. That is also lifetime. After the horrible customer service that I experienced with InvisibleShield (It's called invisible because you actually never get the shield) I was happy to deal with a company that has outstanding customer service. They also have same day shipping.

1.) Same Day shipping

2.) Free lifetime replacements

3.) 20% off any purchases on BodyGuardz

4.) Phenomenal customer service

Honestly....I don't see why anybody would go with InvisibleShield.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Kraize:
Anyone that is rich enough to get both BodyGuardz and InvisibleSHIELD can take pics and give as a review as to which is better? I was going to wait on BodyGuardz to get a fuze template, but they take forever. =/

@AllTheWay

Can I get some pics of how BodyGuardz looks on your fuze?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] nbviper:
Yeah, after taking 2 weeks to receive, slow customer service, horrible phone coverage... I'll go with BodyGuardz from now on.

After reading the review and according to the price, I'm getting the Bodyguardz for 2 fuzes. It's half the price if I buy from invisibleShield! I'll let ppl know how it goes and I'll be sure to take some pictures.

[General Questions and Answers] rafaelgirotti:
I have an app which I do not have access to the source code. But I needed it to run on newer versions of android. From what I know, it works only up to Android 4.4.4 so I tried using an APK Editor I found here on XDA and changed to the newest SDK and signed, but still didn't work. Is there any way to solve that?
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
It depends on what application it is and whether it has a replacement. You haven't written anything about it, so it's hard to advise.

Sorry, it's an app specific for a company, they do not have a replacement. It's supposed to be used mainly on tablets

[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] CC7never:
So I have successfully unlocked my motorola by following the official guide but am stuck on the next step because I don't know what I'm supposed to download next. I installed magisk from the official github onto my phone but that's about it. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
Which rom are you using?
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] CC7never:
So all I have done so far is unlocked my bootloader, do I need to download a rom next. I'm very inexperienced on this subject and saw a video of the different cool customizations you can do with a rooted phone.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
So, there are two different things.

1. rooting gives you access to system files, so they can be modified/erased etc.

2. a custom ROM doesn't necessarily give you root access, but it can give you cool customizations built-in, or a newer version of Android, for example.

Personally I'm not a big fan of rooting in general. Because that comes with a couple of caveats. One being that your banking apps won't work anymore, unless you fiddle with magisk stuff to make it show like the device is not rooted, and stuff like that. I don't need root, so I don't generally need Magisk either.

But if you want to try a cool ROM for this phone, and you like stock Android, you could try the Pixel Experience ROM. The only thing that doesn't work (and I don't know how to fix right now), is VoLTE and VoWIFI. But it might work for you.

LineageOS works for VoLTE (with IMS APN added by the user), but still doesn't work for VoWIFI. It could be that it requires a few specific files to be flashed from the stock ROM. I don't know. So far I couldn't get it to work.

So, next step would be either staying on stock ROM, and fiddling with Magisk (but keep in mind some DRM apps won't work, some payment stuff won't work and so on so forth), ooor go flash a custom ROM (such as Pixel Experience), and enjoy it the way it is.

The choice is yours.

One advice I have: don't relock the bootloader unless the option in Developer Options > OEM Unlocking is ON. Doesn't matter if it's greyed out or not. But it needs to be ON.

Why? Because, if something happens and you can't boot because you locked your bootloader on a custom ROM for example (which you should never do, by the way), you won't be able to unlock it again, so you can fix your boot, if that option is OFF. So be very careful with that.

When that option is ON, it means bootloader is allowed to be unlocked (it's unlockable). When it's OFF, it's not. If it's not unlockable, you can't unlock it, so you can't flash anything. Which is really bad if you need to fix something and the only way is flashing.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] CC7never:
Ok, I took some time to reflect based on what you said. I really do value being able to use banking apps so i guess I will try to fiddle with magisk stuff after I root my device. Speaking of which I was following this guide and I went through the procedure twice but for some reason after I ran the root checker plus app from the play store it says that root was not properly installed. Not sure what part of the process I did wrong but I await any feedback.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
Technically, all you need is Magisk installed. That will also give you root access. You don't need anything else.

But maybe flashing was not done right? I don't know. Do you get an error? If so, it would be good to know which error.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] salamala893:
Hi

I was on Android 12 and signed in to the beta program 10 days ago.

I've noticed that APKs that were fine on Android 12 are not working anymore on Android 13 Beta.

APKs are crashing at opening.

I thought that may have been an issue related to the beta version of Android but couple of days ago Android 13 stable rolled out (I've signed out from the beta) but those apps are still not working.

I've found older APKs for a couple of apps and one works and one not.

How can I solve this without a factory reset?

Thank you in advance
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skymera:
What are the apps that are crashing? What does a logcat show when the app crashes?

Google introduced restrictions in A13 for side loaded apps. No longer can they use accessibility apis nor can they access notifications etc. Just speculation but if the apps you are using are old they may be crashing because of these changes.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
You can bypass those restrictions by going to the app info page of the app and clicking on the 3 dot menu in top right corner.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skymera:
Wasn't aware of this, thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
I don't have any issues with manually installed apks...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jeff_N:
Hi, i have the same Problem with every sideloaded App.

There are no 3 dots in the right Corner.

I don't know exactly how to bypass Them
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
Waiting till the weekend to update, but what APKs are giving the error?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] salamala893:
Can't find this
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Do those apps need Accessibility and/or Notification Access permissions? If not, then I don't think the 3 dot menu needs to be there as it is only for those specific permissions (or whatever other permissions Google might add to the list in the future).

For example, I have Adaway installed but it doesn't have the 3 dot menu because it doesn't need either of those permissions. The same for App Manager.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kylechen:
I am really confused with this new "session-based install" security.

What are "session-based install" and "non-session-based install"

Play store app install --------- surly "session-based install" 100%.

3rd-party store install --------- is said also to be "session-based install".

Firefox download an apk --------- is said to be "non-session-based install",

But how the firefox different from a 3rd-party store????? a system white list something?

safetynet, selinux, forcing many settings, anti-rollback, non-store app restrictions.........

I enjoyed so much that google throws sht tons of troubles to billions of advanced users, to fight an enemy that may not even exist.

(how many people have their phone bootloader secretly unlocked remotely by a hacker and installed root malware, unknowingly?)

Gives a warning is good eg. bootloader locked warning is great IMO. But force the hands and keep finding ways to screw the advanced users as hard as they can, to get the "everything is under my control" status is the wrong path.

I read the news that malware devs have already found a way to bypass this restriction.

In the end, like many others, It achieved nothing, except giving trouble to advanced users and devs.

A global bypass must be also on the way, especially from China. Millions like 90% of APPs are not store-based in China since the google ban, and people are used to download apk from every companies' websites as we do on Windows PC.

btw...I got an 'install failed' trying to install/flash the viper4android mod not realizing how old it was...now I'm seeing lotsa audio/sound related crap in logcat reader. If I AM 'currupt' somehow, will just a rom re-flash fix a magisk issue or do I need a full wipe?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] salamala893:
Me too but looks like is some security thing from Android 13. I really hope that somebody finds a workaround soon or I'll have to switch back to 12
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
12 won't work right on the 13 bootloader, and you can't downgrade the bootloader.

When I initially tested flashing only the 13 bootloader on my Pixel 6 Pro, while still running Android 12, it booted fine, I unlocked the phone, and all looked normal. But I didn't launch apps, especially Chrome, YouTube, and plenty of other things. If I had, I would have noticed problems that others have had since then. It was since found that certain/many kinds of apps will not work right running on Android 12 when you have the 13 bootloader installed.

I know this above is not what this thread is discussing, but since you mentioned it, I just wanted to point out that if you're on any Pixel 6/Pro/a with Android 13's bootloader flashed, you won't be able to use stock Android 12 on it. You'll be able to flash everything but the bootloader, boot it up, and unlock it, but before long you would discover problems that you wouldn't be able to work around and would effectively make your phone unuseable for many things that we take for granted.

By the way, hopefully you have the 13 bootloader flashed to both slots. Having the 13 bootloader on only one slot is a little dangerous.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot --slot all flash bootloader bootloader.img
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
Guys, but are you talking of sideloaded apps, or apps installed as apk?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Thebear j koss:
Apks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
All the apps I install that aren't in the Play Store like AccA and the apps that go with things like AOSP Mods work fine for me. The copy of Better Internet Tiles which I installed from the APK on GitHub instead of the one in the Play Store, also works fine. Kernel Flasher from GitHub is also working fine. Fox's Mmm (Magisk Module Manager) and F-Droid also fine.

I wonder what particular aspects of the apps having trouble cause them not to work correctly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JasDevi:
Same issue here. Installed the same version modded app in android 12 and on android 13. On android 13 it crashed upon opening the app
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
I have no issues with all the manually installed apks with Android 13.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NIK3SH:
Guys,

Anyone got solution for this?

I am facing similar issue with my Google P6P after latest stable Android 13 update.

My all modded apps like adguard, ES File Explorer, Stellio are crashing.

Genuine apps with same version are working but not modded once even after reinstalling them.

Is there any workaround to get them functional back?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Thebear j koss:
Use apps that are not from warez sites or so called modded. Only install from original source.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NIK3SH:
Yes I am aware about it hence precisely mentioned as "modded" in my initial comment.

But I am looking for an option to use modded app with any configuration change in Android or something like allowing app individually (as someone updated by clicking three dots advanced menu, which is not available for me though)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hydros85:
I also have the same thing that the modded application does not open for me adguard, but I downloaded an earlier version also modded and it works, also try
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NIK3SH:
Yes I managed to run 3.6.46 for adguard but for other apps like ES File & Stellio it's not at all working with any version.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zaxx32:
Need to post the logcat log file of try to run app so some here tell whats happening. But ES is not a good one to post cuz it's banned...pick something else and post the log. I can't atm...my phone went back to google to get the ARB e-fuse reset. 😣
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] salamala893:
Not available for me neither
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
This issue is weird: some sideloaded APKs work just fine but some just FC whenever I try to open the app. Seems pretty random for some reason!

It would be nice if someone could find the actual reason for this. Is this really a security thing?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Annil:
Would it be possible to name a concrete (official!) app which crashes when sideloaded?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Thebear j koss:
This is the reason...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] benignodesigns:
Hey,

I'm so relieved now that it's not just me.

I have the official Android 13 release on my Pixel 5.

It's so exhausting.

I have a lot of external APKs.

Immediately after the restart, about 6 popups open one after the other telling me "App X is not responding". And other apps, about 10 of which I know of so far, won't start at all (e.g. "Malwarebytes", "AdGuard VPN" & "Audiomack").

Nothing, no reaction, they don't even try.

When I open an app from the app store, the typical "App not responding" popup sometimes comes up, I press "wait" and it comes back after about 5 seconds. It doesn't stop and keeps looping until I press "quit immediately".

I'll leave the APK's on for now and see what the next updates bring, but it's really annoying.

Best regards.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] benignodesigns:
Yeah

Yeah exactly, most of my APKs are modded ones too.

But AdGuard is working, AdGuard VPN is not :/

Maybe it's for safety reasons. Maybe Google won't allow us to install modded apps from now on, and who knows if we can install normal APKs in the future?

...or you will have to allow that in the developer settings?

Could it be possible that Google will go the same way as Apple? One App Store for all? 🤔🙇🏻‍♂️

They made some optical differences in the Play Store for Android 13, maybe they did more than we know so far...

I'm looking forward to the next Update.

Best regards.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NIK3SH:
I sincerely doubt that Google will stop sideloading of apps in Android like Apple as it's one of the main beauty & usage freedom of Android.

In my understanding, I believe they have blocked few public signatures with which these modded apps were being resigned. So few of them fall in to it and few not.

Hopefully app moder will make their way out of this as well in nearby time...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FoxhoundUnit:
Just flashed a stable LineageOS 20 for my P6P. With hope that a custom rom would fix it. But no luck. (Many) modded apps won't start
