I fixed the links, thanks.

Yeah, that's why that particular set of instructions has a

more people are

unsuccessful

using this method to

install to the Inactive slot and keep root

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Slim2none4u:
Oh my bad. I haven't tried using those instructions for a while. Having PF makes the process to easy. I still follow your guides though!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
Only thing I do differently is I don't untick auto updates and restart it on the update screen.

Steps I do

I see the update notification

I uninstall Magisk, just restore images

Go to update screen and let it fully update

Once the restart button is there on update screen,

I head over to magisk install to inactive slot,

After that is done go back to update screen and restart it there via bottom restart button.

It worked on stock, then I went to android beta, it worked. That was December I jumped back on beta. Then January update did the same way to update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Ok, thanks for sharing your method. :-)

3. Take the OTA Update and Maintain Root
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] innit:
Hi. Sorry if this has already been asked but can magisk be updated as usual (Install - Direct install) on Pixel 7?

On Samsung it's easy as that but Pixel has A/B partitions and I'm not sure if updating magisk this way will not break something and leave the phone unbootable. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
You update it in the app without a problem. As for installation, I had an issue last month with PixelFlasher not installing Magisk correctly, - it wouldn't grant SU to any of the apps I needed it to, so I just installed it as any app, downloaded and installed with Package Manager, and it was fine

That was supposed to say that you can update in the app itself not implying that that’s the only way to do it. My bad on the typo.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
Ya'll are confusing the heck out of me. Wouldn't 100% be unsuccessful using that link method? As Magisk wants to patch the boot.img and not init_boot.img the Pixel 7 needs?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I assume you are talking about updating the Magisk version within the Magisk app (via direct install)? If so, Magisk does have the ability to find and patch the init_boot.img. Support for that was added back in March of last year.

No I am referring to taking the OTA, open Magisk and install to Inactive Slot(after OTA). Then reboot, doesn't that fail?

Ah, ok. There have been a few people (that I have seen) on the Pixel 7 series who have been successful using that method, but most have not. There are 2 Github issues opened related to this issue. The devs couldn't find any problems with the script and no one has provided a log so they can look into it more.

I own the one shown in this link

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/201006982/Car_Bluetooth_FM_Transmitter.html

But the one I have is made by Merlin. I bought it from Dubai Airport Duty Free Shop for around US$ 100. It works fine with Touch HD for calls and playing any audio files.
[Touch HD Accessories] pab:
using the venturi mini, it's about £60-£70 but very good quality

http://www.myventuri.com/home.aspx
[Touch HD Accessories] habibjamil:
Cool, but no remotes at all?
[Touch HD Accessories] vangrieg:
You mean, literally very good quality? As in, like wired/CD, no static, interference from other radio stations, hiss? Or good as in "okay for an FM transmitter"? It would be exciting if a good FM transmitter existed, it would save me from upgrading my car!
[Touch HD Accessories] Redback911:
I'd love to know this as well. We drove down to Italy last year and we used a Tom Tom FM transmitter and it was rubbish. We constantly needed to retune it in the UK and France. When we got to Italy it was impossible to use due to all the radio stations they have.
[Touch HD Accessories] vangrieg:
I found two reviews on this Venturi thingie. The cnet reviewer complains a little about music playback quality, while the trustedreviews.com's statement is that the sound is crap. The user comment in the end confirms. So it looks like miracles don't happen, and a good FM transmitter is still an oxymoron. Alas...
[Touch HD Accessories] habibjamil:
Let me clarify. I have used many FM Transmitters before and this one has been the best so far.

However, I know the quality depends on your location. In Riyadh, when I live now, the spectrum of FM is not very congested, so it is easy to find a good frequency to use. For other locations, you have to try it yourself.

No FM Transmitter can match a wired solution. But, the one I tested was good enough.
[Touch HD Accessories] vangrieg:
Thanks for clarifying - I almost bought the thing!

Just a quick follow-up question - how do you select the frequency? Is there a set of predefined frequencies or can you manually tune it? What's the increment and the overall range (from xxMHz to yyMHz)?
[Touch HD Accessories] habibjamil:
There are two buttons for moving up or down for the frequency. I did not find yet a way to save some settings as profiles. Increments are in 0.1 and the whole FM spectrum is covered.
[Touch HD Accessories] sallymiller:
FM Transmitters

Well, I have Car FM transmitter got for my new car last month. I got it for my dad last month as he travels all time. He finds its great. You can check with Chinabuye, its online gadget store in China, they sell all car accessories including the FM Transmitters for all devices. You will get wide collections of at best rate. I was looking for better rates, i find its quite costlier at other shops like Alibaba.

Either the 7 pro has a new file structure, or Swift Backup is a 32 bit app, which ia no longer allowed on the 7 pro version of A13. Whatever the issue is, if you have important data, keep the 7 pro in the box until another option for restoring app data is available.

Just trying to save folks some time amd effort.

I will also try it at the weekend. An alternative (perhaps) is Migrate. But if both won't work, then this would be a quite big deal...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
I was gonna open a thread about this!

I got in touch with the dev on Telegram and that's what he said:

1. How many apps have you tried restoring?

2. By any chance are these apps that are secure? Payment apps, apps with accounts, apps that use encryption using Android Keystore, etc.

3. Pick a small app like Geekbench for testing backup and restore and let me know how it goes.

Also, I was linked to this FAQ: https://swiftapps.org/issues#restorefail

I guess I'm not switching to the 7 Pro until I can find a way to transfer my apps (from a 4 XL).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] n0gg:
swift backup worked fine for me. (OP20 pro -> P7 Pro)

But needed to log out in swift backup cause it uses google login.

After that yo have to give swift full root access. Then it worked for me
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mxalbert1996:
Restoring apps from P6P is working well for me. The apps that are crashing are likely encrypting data with a master key stored in Android keystore and they crash because master keys can't be transferred between devices.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] savaytse66:
I tried using Titanium Backup to transfer a few apps' data from Pixel 3XL to 7 Pro, and they all failed. Swift was able to restore data for a certain Candy-based game with success, but that was the only one I tried.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
Follow up on this: I chatted with the dev on Telegram and he said most people were able to transfer their stuff to the Pixel 7 without any problem.

He's gonna get one himself soon so he'll be able to test things more thoroughly I guess.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
I transfered without issue except on a few that had biometrics setup. I had to clear those and setup manually.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
It will fail on 32bit native applications. 32bit is enabled in P6 and disabled in P7.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
I have been emailing the developer too. Of the 190 apps that I restored, about 20 of them didn't work after being restored.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
Keep my new Pixel 7 Pro in the box? I used a neat trick by letting the Playstore download all my apps. Then just took the time to log in and setup as before. Pictures and videos OTG flash drive. Text Messages and MMS I let Next SMS handle it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ultimoose:
Most of the apps I transferred using Swift worked. TB has been dead on my P6P for awhile unfortunately, just crashes on open so I tried Swift and was able to transfer with maybe a 90% success rate out of 20+ apps that I didn't want to set back up manually. I'm only recalling 2 maybe 3 so far that didn't work. I didn't bother trying anything sensitive like banking/stock/crypto etc.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
PSA: v4.2.3 is being pushed to the Play Store.

Pixel 7 users should update asap.

Changelog:

Apps: Fixed an issue on Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro where Swift Backup failed to properly restore apps with split APKS

Apps: Fixes for proper backup of permissions like Picture-in-Picture, WiFi Control and Turn screen on OneDrive: Added retry mechanisms for some temporary OneDrive errors

Wallpapers: Some optimizations when user has a very large number of wallpaper backups

cool cheers
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zymphad:
But why? It also has it's own and was super easy, took only a few minutes connect P6P to P7P via USB. Done. And have done it for myself and other, was easiest transfer/backup so far.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Not everything gets copied over. Best to hook up the old phone to the computer and run adb pull /sdcard to make a backup of the sdcard. Delete the Android folder from the backup and then drag and drop it onto the new phone. Like my Signal folder didn't get backed up so I had to manually copy it over and restore the backup and none of the non-stock folders in the root of the sdcard storage got brought over either.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mko000:
So is everything working now after the latest Swift Backup update?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
Yes. Developer quickly put out an update that the fixed the problem in restoring certain apps to the Pixel 7s
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
Worked perfectly for me, obviously with exception of 32bit apps, swift backup can't be a 32bit app or you wouldn't have been running it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
they fixed the crashing but some apps wont restore data properly still.

example is twitter after restore you have to re sign in.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
These are app designer choices, because I also have some apps like this where the user stuff is synced to their systems, and everything is restored after you sign in.

You could also try if your not already the sync cloud option during the restore.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
There is no sync cloud option when restore. That option in Swift Backup is to sync local backups from your phone to your cloud storage.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
Yeah good call, I misread that when I was doing it, it is to sync the backup into the cloud I believe
[Realme GT Neo 2] Shuyin10:
Hello !

I've already talked about this on the Project Elixir thread but I don't feel like there's really any progress on it.

I'm on Evolution X and once again, the colors are way too saturated, even in natural mode (which is the same setting as in adaptive)

I don't understand this problem which doesn't seem to bother people I have the impression...

Is this an AOSP issue? It's really annoying because otherwise the rom is really perfect, the author really did a great job for us but it's really difficult with a screen like that....

Thanks
[Realme GT Neo 2] RMX3370:
Yes Colors are indeed too sharp and saturated in Custom ROM's

It must be due to wrongly calibrated value of screen
[Realme GT Neo 2] Vipxpert:
Use terminal with root

service call SurfaceFlinger 1022 f 1

With value run from 0 - 2

You can set it like

service call SurfaceFlinger 1022 f 0.985
[Realme GT Neo 2] Shuyin10:
Really ?! Is it good ?!
[Realme GT Neo 2] Vipxpert:
It's working on every phone I've ever test including realme
[Realme GT Neo 2] Shuyin10:
Is it better to Kcal saturation setting ? Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Vipxpert:
It has nothing to do with KCAL. Non KCAL kernel support it even Samsung's exynos

It's literally an open Android API
[Realme GT Neo 2] Shuyin10:
Thanks, i'll try it soon !

Is it permanent or do you have to do it every time you reboot?
[Realme GT Neo 2] Vipxpert:
Everytime you reboot actually. You can use termux widget for convenient

Hi there,

i have problem with screen alignment after I dismanteled my trinity and cleaned it because it was all dusty.

After putting everything together my screen was not aligned. I tried to align but it just kept asking me to align forever.

I did dismateled it again and put together, flashed rom again but it is the same...

Anybody having any idea ? please...

it seams that only solution is new digitizer..

so I ma waiting for it, hope it comes fast...
[P3600 General] adejager1:
Hello,

I broke my screen (only digitizer) and bought an replacement. After replacement i could not align my screen. When i touch the first cross, nothing happens. i had to soft reset the phone to bypass the alignment. The screen 'works' that means that it responds to touch, only is misaligned.

What is your experience with the new digitizer?

Arjan
[P3600 General] adejager1:
Fixed the alignment problem. FtouchFlo was interfering with the screen alignment. After stopping FtouchFlo i could align it just fine. Screen is working with the new digitiser:)
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Pisti870923:
Hi guys!

Here's a little trick, if someone might not get the Android 12 OTA update: the update is already on the official website, but for some reason the interface wasn't edited, or I don't know... So, if you rewrite the version number in the download link, the download will start. XD

EU: https://rom.download.nubia.com/Europe/NX669J/V510/NX669J-update.zip

North America & Asia: https://rom.download.nubia.com/Europe&Asia/NX669J/V610/NX669J-update.zip

I completely reset the phone before that, with Mitool, in EDL mode. Everything works, 5Ghz Wifi, Volte, etc., so far I have not experienced any errors. The interface looks smoother, but that might just be because of the clean phone. I like the new Gamespace much better. :) If you don't like it or if you find errors, you can use the Mitool-EDL method to revert to any previous version. :)
[Nubia Red Magic 6] An Droid:
The update was pulled from OTA due to bugs - some users experienced boot loops that required full reset (you did that anyhow).

In my case, I've had cellular network issues where it appears the device disconnects from the network when on WiFi - phone calls are no longer received and legacy SMS/MMS won't send/receive until WiFi is disabled or the SIM is toggled off/on.

An update is apparently on its way, but it's been over 3 weeks now.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Gunhawk32:
Says "everyone" but then leaves out RM6R :cry:😭
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Pisti870923:
Sorry, by everyone I meant not only those who are sent OTA. Android 12 has already been released for the 6R in China, so I think it will arrive soon for the 6R as well. :/
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Pisti870923:
I did a completely clean update. I completely formatted it, deleted all partitions /even the "persist" by accident, but I managed to restore it, but that's another story/.

Then I reset the phone using the Mitool-EDL method and then updated the clean system to EUCommon-V5.10.

The only mistake is that it lists the battery as 3550 mah instead of 5050 mah.

What you write about not receiving calls on Wi-Fi, etc., also occurred to me on the V3.28 system. If I set the mobile network as preferred in the vowifi settings, the error disappeared. Now I haven't experienced this error, vowifi works normally even in wifi preferred mode.

So far, I have not experienced any errors apart from the incorrect listing of the battery, although I cannot test 5G because it is not yet installed at our place...:/
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Gunhawk32:
I doubt it since it took 7-9 months for the android 12 update to release globally for the RM6 & 6 pro after it came out in china.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] moatazamer83:
bro i have the same issue

do you solve it

Please i
[Nubia Red Magic 6] moatazamer83:
do you have instructions or video .i dont have experience with that
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Pisti870923:
I'll describe how I did it, but I can't promise that everything will work the same way for everyone. I don't know if there are hardware differences between each phone because I could only test it with mine /RM6P/. If someone tries it, do it at your own risk!

Be sure to save the "persist" partition before doing anything!!! Also save Qcn, these two are very important!!!

1. Backup partitions:

2. Backup Qcn:

3. /Optional/ Erase ALL:

After backup, I entered the partition manager in qfil, and after right-clicking, I clicked on "erase entire flash". But it's not absolutely necessary, but I definitely wanted a clean install. When I returned from Chinese Android 12 to EU 11 and didn't do this, the first time I started it, the phone setup got stuck in the wizard and wouldn't let me continue. From this I realized that the Mitool-EDL method alone does not completely clean the phone.

If you have completely reformatted the phone with qfil, you will need to restore the "persist" partition and Qcn with qfil after Mitool is finished. If you haven't formatted it completely, you don't need to restore it, but you should still have a backup of them, you never know when you'll need them, believe me! :)

4. And here is the description of the much talked about Mitool-EDL method:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rm6-6pro-unbrick-tool-edl-flash-switch-from-cn-to-eu.4284797/

5. Update rom:

If you're done with Mitool, you download the ROM you want, copy it to the internal storage and install it with local update in system update!

I did it this way and still found no errors. (Except that it says the battery is 3550mah). I use the EU510.

After Mitool finished, any rom goes up with local update, I tried EU328, UN428, CN810, UN610 and EU510 :-)

This method did not require unlocking the bootloader.

According to my theory, I could root with qfil without opening the bootloader, but I haven't tested it yet. If I try it sometime, I will write about my experience. :)
[Nubia Red Magic 6] Pisti870923:
Two more things:

1: The Firehose file is in the "image" folder of the Mitool pack, it is also needed for Qfil.

2: If someone wants to enter EDL mode from Fastboot after updating to Android 12, the phone will restart immediately. You have to make an Edl cable from a USB data cable, or buy one and use it to enter Edl mode.

It actually seems complicated, but the point is that the black/GND/ and green/data+/ wires have to be touched together while plugging the cable into the phone, and then after a few seconds they have to be separated from each other. The switched-off phone will thus immediately switch to Edl mode.
