[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Absolutely nothing:
Of course I had them, otherwise how could i unlocked bootloader and completely rewrite factory image. Haven't tried installing custom ROMs, my friend prefered not to play with it too much and just stick with android 11 solution.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
OEM Unlocking and USB debugging are separate. Both are enabled through Developer Options. USB Debugging is disabled after a data wipe.

If you're able to flash the factory image via ADB, try wiping both /system and /data using fastboot erase system (replace system with data for the data partition)

Using the Android Flash Tool is the most ideal option. I'm not sure where a MDM app/lock is installed on the device but I would think that completely reformatting it would be sufficient.

Does the MDM lock appear even if the device isn't connected to the Internet?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] HT123:
>Using the Android Flash Tool is the most ideal option.

What does the flash tool do that you can’t do from the command line?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
As far as I know, nothing. The trick is knowing which commands, so if you have some way to look at the commands coming from the WebADB interface, that would help. I know some of the commands, but I don't know what is used for "force flash all partitions"

Edit: I missed a rather critical detail:

View attachment 5772011

I forgot that only one process can use ADB at a time, so if you've used ADB from command line, you have to use adb kill-server for the Flash Tool to work.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] HT123:
>As far as I know, nothing. The trick is knowing which commands,

the commands for installing a stock image are in the extracted ROM zip in my experience. Usually in the flashfile.xml

Hi, recently I've had some issues with my box and after the second flashing attempt, first one was successful and i was on Aidans Rom v8, but since reinstalling it, it would just go absolutely bat**** crazy as soon as I'd do anything. Is it dead? Is there anything i can do? Is buying a new box the only solution?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

i dont know if there is anyone who can assist but i have low emory and cant get my contacts to open due to an error with my downloaded app for pocket cm please advise and if anyone can post a kindergarden version of how to backup my phone and do a flash so that i can put a new rom on it for touch-it i would greatly appreciate it....:confused:
[Wing, P4350 General] ilikepu:
what you do is to get pim backup (freeware)

follow the prompt pretty easy to follow (it should save it to the storage card automatically)

it saves your messages n contacts any pictures and videos you will have to active sync your phone

flash your phone and rerun the pim backup and click on restore

then click on the the backup file and you should be good to go

you make it sound so easy i guess i will have to wait until i get with someone who can do it for me i am pretty savvy with comp but that all sounds like chinese to me...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] mike99:
Greetings,

Had my galaxy 5 for about a week. LTE version US. Finally set up to mostly work. Question about contacts.

When using default Samsung phone app, there are two icons on the top of the screen: left is green dial and right is orange contact shortcut. The contact shortcut works after some reboots but after another reboot it does not. Pressing the button does nothing, like it does not exist. I downloaded a separate contact app to match my phone, which works fine from the app drawer. However, shortcut from the phone app does nothing. All permissions are allowed for both phone app and contact app.

What am I doing wrong? Why does it work sometimes, but not always. The only way to fix is another factory reset. Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] Pictureman2009:
Sometimes the dng files are smaller than the jpg files, using the standard Google camera app.

The file sizes of the dng files are never the same also.

But always the dng files from the Google app are much smaller (file size) than from other camera apps.

Example: dng from Google camera app is approx. 10 MB; "same picture" dngs from Open Camera, ProCamX and ProShot are 23.94 MB.

Can someone explain how these differences arise?
[Google Pixel 6] neptun2:
Pixel dng files are compressed so it is normal. Quality is not affected by this. Also if you use zoom this is just crop of the full dng (useless) so the file size becomes even smaller.
[Google Pixel 6] Pictureman2009:
Thank you neptun2 for your reply. This explains it all. I will stay away from the x2 zoom from now on.

I still do not understand why the quality of the dng is not affected by the compression however.

The gcam mod helped a lot, because I could improve the jpg quality with it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiedikerli:
hi, i want to build my custom rom from the source of PixelExperience with my app included as system app.

I already built the rom and flashed it with success on my asus x00dt.

what i tried to include my app as system app on the rom:

- added folder ./packages/apps/MyApp

- copied my.awesome.app.apk to folder

- created Android.mk in same folder with following content

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
LOCAL_MODULE := MyApp
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := PRESIGNED
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := my.awesome.app.apk
LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := APPS
LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX := $(COMMON_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SUFFIX)
include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)

when i build and flash the rom the app is "not installed". but i can see the folder and app under /system/app

also when i run "pm list packages" i dont see it in the list.

Could you guys help me adding the app to my custom rom?

EDIT:

I also created an entry in build\make\target\product\handheld_product.mk

PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \

MyApp

i could not find core.mk or common.mk which was mentioned in other posts (here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10579827/how-do-i-add-apks-in-an-aosp-build)

EDIT 2:

Seems like a signing issue. If i dont sign my app and use LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wellersl:
I took a chance on a "used" S7+ from Amazon in "like new" condition. It arrived in the original box, in a plastic bag with a sticker saying it had been inspected. At first, I was horified! I was even afraid to open it. Certainly not in the house. The box was stained and encrusted with some kind of waxy, white substance. Reminiscent of the stuff that leaks out of alkaline batteries. But while I was scraping the crud off the box is when I started feeling better. Joy began to set in when I realized the box had never been opened!

YUP! I scored a brand-spanking new Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ for $500. I still have a lot of love for my vintage SM-T800. But this thing blows it completely out of the water.

First request: How do I turn off the "Swipe to open" pheechur?

[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] mr2kqql:
I was using a Vivo nex 3s for the pass 2 years, which served me very good but the camera department and the lackluster mono speaker just a nono for a flagships anymore. The 12s ultra I got from aliexpress with global rom, which i think is there inside China only hacked rom and the first thing I did was to flash EU firmware and set it up as a regular global xiaomi phone. To me the screen refresh rate, camera , sound and voice is a major step up from what I was using. For a flagship around 1k, this is a wonderful best buy that I won't probably run into someone with the same phone around my area.

I'm just a casual photo taker, however so far I have found that the consistency in cameral quality was better with the mi ultra 11
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] SpEaKeRb0xXx:
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this. But I am wondering if your device's RAW file format for photos does not exceed or is normally 10Mb and below?

I normally post-process my shots and purchased this phone mainly because of its camera. However, I am blown by how low the margin I can edit the images on this device. I have an old mi10 pro, and a ROG6 device, and the RAW photos I'm getting out of those devices are above 50MB. The photos I shot out of this device are normally highly saturated even after turning of lica vivid. so my option is to post-process.

Is this something that can be resolved via software update or is this a hardware limitation? TIA!
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] crocat:
So let me ask you one more question about camera. I have seen the dozens of video on youtube about camera. Is 12s ultra's camera really competeble with Iphone 13 or 14 series?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] RFD_Yesstyle:
its hard to give you a straight answer as camera quality comes to personal preference.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] SpEaKeRb0xXx:
The iPhone gives the most natural looking, clean picture in my experience. android devices tend to go more into "beautification" hence over saturation, over exposed, etc photos. to fix this, you can shoot with raw format and then post process.

but yeah, it all depends with the person looking at the picture.

going back to my question about RAW photos with this phone . this is the first time i ever encountered a device with a very low RAW image quality. the standard photos is more clear, you can basically do nothing with its raw image.

I'm using thor 13.0.1.1 rom, i just want to check with others if they are having the same issue. or will changing rom fix this?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] RFD_Yesstyle:
is it just me or is there no way to turn off the alarm when the alarm clock goes off using the native miui clock app? I even set the volume buttons to dismiss the alarm but nothing. Have to reboot phone to turn off alarm

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] icanrule:
My phone has not been able to open multiple apps at once for a long time now. I open an app and then open another app but when I go to the first one it reloads itself. Then when I switch back to the second app it happens again. It's almost as if the pixel 3 xl has bad memory management. I used to be on stock Pixel 3 rom (issue was occurring) but then I went to Pixeldust from a factory reset and still having issues. My phone has always been rooted but I haven't installed any 3rd party kernels because when I have tried in the past the settings are just too confusing too me.

The average memory I have available is between 3.3gb and 3.6gb which is pretty close to the 3.7gb that I have for the device. It's strange how in developer tools it mentions this ram useage but it never really adds up. My top items are:

Android OS: 0.95gb

Android System: 294mb

Google: 279mb

youtube: 224

System UI: 213mb

Google play services: 210mb

Android system intelligence: 132mb

Tasker: 109mb

Is this something that everyone experiences? Is 4gb's just too little of ram for these devices?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] synesthete:
It does sound like a RAM issue. Sometimes it isn't just about finding the biggest RAM hogs, but also getting rid of or disabling more apps that use smaller amounts of RAM. Apps that run background processes, especially some apps with accessibility permissions that run all the time. Many apps run in the background and it adds up. One thing that really helped me was to install Icebox. I add almost all of my non-system apps that I don't use on a daily basis to the Icebox. This freezes/disables them, so they can't run in the background. They are still fairly easy to open; just tap the icebox icon and then whatever app you want to open. If you want you can add shortcuts for frozen appn in your launcher, too. This significantly improved the performance of my Pixel 3XL.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] bergqvistjl:
After applying the Android 12 OTA upgrade today, I can boot into the phone, however it looks like the System UI is constantly stuck instantly crashing upon launch, then reloading. the wallpaper is flickering on and off. I can take calls (and reboot the phone) just about, but I can't open any menu aside from the Power menu, or anything like that. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? I'd try and enable adb mode or something like that but I can't beacuse I can't open any menu. I managed to boot into safe mode, but that had no effect and the problems are still happening.

Sometimes I can get it to briefly show the system icons, but it disappears too quickly for me to be able to do anything. If I was able to open the settings app, i'd be able to put it in USB file transfer mode to get my stuff of it, but I can't even do that.

Using the LG_UP tool, I can downgrade to the previous firmware, however I can't do anything as it then won't accept my encryption pin code. If flash the (broken) latest firmware back on, I can decrypt the phone, but I'm back where I was again where the system UI app just instantly crashes.

Right, so I think it's related to the lock screen. I was able to (somehow) manage to get it to the home screen from where I could open the settings app up and everything was fine, and was able to turn on USB file transfer mode. However as soon as the phone locked again, it stopped working. But it's very wierd.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ahkah:
You could try to do a factory reset. I think you have to start the device while holding one of the two power keys.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] bergqvistjl:
I think that would work, but i'm trying to avoid doing that as there's still stuff i'd like to get off of it. Maybe a future firmware update may fix this bug.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ahkah:
Most probably there will be no further update. Do you have a chance to take a look at the system protocol via "adb logcat" during the crash? Typically the notorious "com.android.systemui" is the culprit.

PS: In fact it does not matter, but is your device some 820 (G8) or the downgraded version 810 (G8s)?
