nice tutorial
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
I am very thankful for your post. I own a Defy 2021 and I am not 100% satisfied with stock EU rom. It contains too much google stuff, I prefer LoS + minimal gapps.

Do you guys think I have any chance for safetynet pass with a GSI ROM? I need my banking apps to work sadly.

Thank you again!
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
Let me answer myself and give some detailed info for anyone with the Defy 2021 willing to try GSI.

First of all, yes, safetynet can be totally passed with Magisk + Magisk Hide + Deny List + Universal Safetynet Fix. Works like usual.

Second, I recommend using the LoS 20 "Light" builds from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-light.4509315/

Specifically I used: lineage-20.0-20221212-UNOFFICIAL-gsi_arm64_gN-secure.img which is actually here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-light/

Reason: it has a minimal gapps included (gms + play store only, no chrome/youtube/keep/etc crap) that is mostly needed for bank apps etc, but kept minimum. Also does not have root - you can do it with Magisk. Also safetynet works. And also because if you delete the product partition, the defy's system partition will be just enough to handle this one. Many others just dont fit in because our defy's system partition is smaller that many GSI builds need.

And lastly, I had trouble with normal fastboot mode (which is the black screen + white text after boot up). I installed @walter79 twrp build (thanks for that too). If you do "fastboot reboot fastboot", it will bring you to another fastboot which is provided by twrp and not the device software itself - I managed to install from there.

What works? Everything! Except for NFC, but that is a known issue with GSI ROMs. I checked a lof of stuff, like speaker, usb, mic, wifi, bt (with music in car, jbl and sony headphones..), LTE data, vowifi, volte, touchscreen, screen sizing, etc etc. Literally everything works like a charm. Super speed, super battery life.

Hallo, leider kann ich kein English daher in D

nachdem ich 10 Tage mit lesen verbracht habe gelang es mir dann ohne Probleme diese Version ohne TRWP auf das defy zu flashen.:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-light/lineage-20.0-20230109-UNOFFICIAL-gsi_arm64_vN.img.xz/download

War dann ganz einfach - und funktioniert mit dem was ich brauch ohne Playdienste und ohne MicroG.

Installiert sind....

Corona-App (CovPass)

DB Navigater

DM Scan (Post-Porto-Scan)

GPS Test

diverse Navi - Apps (Fahrrad, Motorroller, Sportboot)

Open Camera

Magigs

scheint alles zu laufen, beim Laden wird der Akku nicht heiß. Lediglich mit WhatsApp hab ich Probleme. Bis die gelöst sind nutze ich WhatsAppWeb und WA auf einem alten Smartphone.

AOSP GSI hab ich auch probiert, leider konnte ich dort das Defy nicht herunterfahren.

Danke für Eure Arbeit und die guten Anleitungen,

Gruß, Rainer
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
Can I do it with LoS 20 GSI already installed? Will I lose any data? Thanks!
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
Let me sum up my experiences for the past ~50 days of daily usage of GSI LinageOS 20.

Pros: great battery life, great responsiveness, cool functions in Android 13. Nearly all functions and hardware works.

Cons: automatic backlight is too dark when you drive at night or if you want to read at night, its annoying to always adjust. NFC does not work. Bluetooth is a bit of buggy, sometimes connects, sometimes not. There are random reboots of the entire OS each 2..5 days. Could not find the root cause.

Because of this, I reverted to the stock rom and relocked the bootloader to regain stability and NFC, but I will keep an eye of this forum for new builds and updates.
[Motorola Defy (2021)] Kelexine:
Nice
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
I made another try with custom ROM this phone. My next choice was LOS 20 GSI but not the "Light" version. I used TD (TrebleDroid) one instead. My test period is about 10 days but I think I will keep using it on the long run.

Download location: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-td/

lineage-20.0-20230218-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img.xz

This build is not rooted and has minimal gapps stuff.

I only unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and booted it to 'fastbootd' mode. I did not modify vbmeta.

It seems much more usable:

- the image is smaller, no partitioning is needed

- there are no random reboots

- bluetooth works reliably, but its true that device connect / discovery is a bit slow. It works correctly after it connects.

- the lowest setting of blacklight is too dark again, but not that bad with the previous Light version. I can see the navigation in my car at night, that is enough. I can pull more brighness if I need manually.

I also managed to make it safetynet proof and use Bank apps, Teams/Intune, etc.

Advantages over stock rom is the superior speed, responsiveness and extended battery life.
[Motorola Defy (2021)] Kelexine:
The GSI just feels like a supperio stock ROM on my device, have been using it for about 6 months now.

I had wanted to try PE based GSI but I think I will forget that.

All thanks to @AndyYan and all associated developers.

But my question is how you made it safetynet proof, Binance and Trust Wallet keeps telling me sh*t about been rooted.
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
To pass safetynet:

- install magisk

- enable magisk hide

- enable zygisk

- install magisk module 'universal safetynet fix' (my version is v2.4.0-MOD1.2 by displax)

- install magisk module 'Safetynet Sensitive props' (v3 by HuskyDG)

- install magisk module 'MagiskHide props config'

- install a terminal like termux, do 'su', allow root. do 'props'. Then search for override device fingerprint. Look for an option that is for GSI devices, because currently your fingerprint is not the original (bathena). I cant tell the exact menu and option but you will find it.

- enable force deny list, deny app your bank apps + google play services framework

- force stop and clear data + cache for bank apps, google play store, google services framework

Start them and see the result.

Good luck! Tell me if you succeed!
[Motorola Defy (2021)] Kelexine:
Yes, thanks for the guide
[Motorola Defy (2021)] trendkill666:
Thanks for these tutorials. I just purchased this phone, and this is the first time I heard of GSI images. How is that, once I install this image are there OTA update? Or I need to download every time a new image and flash it with fastboot? If so do I loose any data during the update? Or do I loose safetynet? Thank you!
[Motorola Defy (2021)] Tom897:
re:walter79

Won't you try the (un)official Lineage OS Rom?

Thanks.
[Motorola Defy (2021)] HUN_Gyuszi:
I dont think that depends on if its GSI or not, but depends on the rom is from what project and official or unofficial build. We are talking about unofficial LOS builds here, so you will need to download and install newer images manually.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iko1133:
So my phone has been locked for 3-4 days now. I know the unlock pattern (I've had it for several years on several phones) but it just does not seem to recognize it. I know the screen and sensor are working, I can see pattern being drawn but no success...

I've found Samsung's find my mobile network, sadly, I did not have it enabled, but, I think I managed to enable it through adb (I have developer options turned on and trusted computer with me) but now it seems to be stuck on unlocking the device mode. Backups don't work either... Only thing that sometimes works is Ring function that, thats usually in a small window after restart.

I've tried wiping cache partition too, did not work..

Now I want at least to backup my phone, so I don't lose the data but adb backup needs phone to be unlocked...

Any ideas?

Sure, sorry, my mistake...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
If you think the screen has some touch registering issue - Connect a USB mouse over OTG and try.

Without root, your options to delete the lock is 0 to minimal.

You can also take it to a Samsung Authorised Service Center, Prove your ownership (Invoice) and get it removed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iko1133:
That's the sad part, altho I have my phone's box and invoice, there are no Samsung Authorised Service Centers in my country (Georgia)...

So there is no way to even back up the data to the Samsung's or Google's accounts that were saved on the device?

Hello, I have the same issue with my phone, forgot PIN, and tried to unlock it using samsung find my mobile, but it says that I didn't enable remote unlock. If you managed to enable it through adb, please walk me through how to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iko1133:
Do you have developer options enabled and a trusted (rememberd by phone) computer? If not, you can't do that...

Enabling it did not help me tho, had to reset it in the end but hope it will help you at least ^^
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AkayamiShurui:
Oh the simple way is power off your phone with the hardware keys with your volume up and down plus your power key hold it for like 30 seconds it shuts off your phone reboot your phone and recovery mode by holding the same keys when you're trying to power it on when you see the boot logo turned on you let go of the power key but keep the volume keys held down it may not be that exact pattern of keys cuz I do not use that phone but that should get you to recovery mode and then just factory reset your phone all you will need from that point on is your Google account

Hello,

I decided to expand my website and add a section with drivers for Windows OS.

Why I am doing this?

Other driver pages (that I know) have an archaic look

They often do not have the latest driver versions

They are difficult to navigate, no obvious categories, require multiple clicks

Drivers are mixed with program updates - one big mess

They collect all versions of the driver, and the most recent one is often at the very end of the list

They usually don't post beta or development drivers

They often contain links to free hosting that have bandwidth limitations

The sites are filled with advertisements and often redirect to other unsafe sites

They don't educate users

What is the difference?

Modern interface, only important information about the driver

Always the latest driver versions

Easy navigation, main categories and most popular drivers

This page contains only drivers and driver-related topics

Drivers available in stable, beta, development and legacy versions

Direct links to the producer's servers, in a few cases I host the files myself

No ads or other crap

I will post useful driver tutorials in the future

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SomethingWicked:
I've converted a PC screen saver I wrote to the HD. It should actually work on any device, though... It's called MobileWebbs, and it is a flowing design of lines that seem to curve around each other, although they are all actually straight. I've attached a zip file with the executable, the Formlib.dll and the Basic4PPC source code that makes it work. I've also included some screen shots, but I had to use a timer to get them, and it seems its difficult to get a snapshot of a design as it completes before the next one starts, but you can get the gist.

Notes:

1) To end the program, just tap the screen anywhere and it will stop.

2) If you use a program like Gyrator2 to auto change the orientation of the screen, don't change the orientation once MobileWebbs is running. This causes it to freak out. You can start MobileWebbs in any orientation you wish, just don't change it once it starts running.

Hope you like it!!! :)

Jesse

Edit: 1/5/09 - Added cab file -- sorry everyone, the program that made the cab file didn't allow much flexability such as ability to install to storage card, or program icons, or even a proper program name, but it's still exciting to watch it do it's magic!!!

Hey, you should try my MobileWebbs.. it's mesmirizing! And everyone you show it to will be in awe. Just don't change the orientation, tho.. It doesn't like that. But you can start it any way you like, just don't change it once it's running.

Will do. By the way, did you see my graphics improvement thread in Blackstone development thread? I'm trying to get a similar project running as we did with the P3D team, but for the Blackstone. B3D, lol. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SomethingWicked:
No, I didn't notice. But I will. I'm shutting down for the day now. I have to drive 800 miles to get back home and will take a peek sunday night. I was actually quite impressed with the speed of the graphics thus far. Gyrator2 takes only a moment to redraw after re-orientating, and all in all, the device seems quite faster. I'll be waiting to see what you can improve :)

btw... if you get a sec, would you make a cab for MobileWebbs? That stuff seems to be second nature for you, and it'd take me an hour or two to get it figured out. Well, gotta run. Hope you're doing well :D

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] rufik:
On OOS 11 and 12 when I force close any app, it stays closed all the time. I have one or two apps that I don't need to run all the time, just from time to time, so I force them close usually.

But now I'm on OOS 13 and when I force close app it's re-run after some time. It looks like android "revives" app. And this app has unchecked "backgroud activity" and "auto lunch" of course.

Is this a new "feature" of android 13? Or OOS maybe?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] evilhawk00:
The new "feature" you've said is actually "something normal all the time" form Android 4.0 +. This is something you can have on AOSP. What you want is actually something "dirty" made by the device manufacturer, which is a nightmare for Android developers. Those manufacturers don't follow the Android standard and prevent the software to be triggered under some circumstances, this breaks the functionality of the app.

For example, using the Android WorkManager can register a worker with a scheduled task. Developers can assign the task to be executed at a specific time or every a period of time. The WorkManager is a wrapper for Jobscheduler and AlarmManager. Depending on the Android OS version, the WorkManager automatically choose to use one of the above methods to run the scheduled task. If an app registers a PeriodicWorkRequest and assign it to execute every 2 hours, even the app is closed, the PeriodicWorkRequest still can be triggered and revives the app every 2 hours. The nightmare for developers is that OPPO, Xiaomi...etc, these manufacturers prevent the scheduled tasks to be executed if the app is closed(Hall of shame). They are not following the Android standard, so apps can not behave as expected. It is totally different from the documentation at developer.android.com, but every manufacturer is doing this under the excuse of battery optimization, so many users think this is normal. However this is actually some nasty customization to the OS made by the manufacturer to break many apps on the device. That's why apps with background services, such as, Tasker, Bitwarden can not work correctly on many devices if they're not excluded in battery optimization management apps made by the manufacturer.

Almost every Android developer has to tell users to visit https://dontkillmyapp.com/, because Chinese manufacturers like to kill app services and break all the apps with background services. And finally now Google is introducing CTS-D, to tell devs about how background services work on the device. I guess this is why things are finally moving back to normal in Android 13.

#The page https://dontkillmyapp.com/ is a website made by developers to teach users to whitelist apps after receiving a lot of complaints about apps not working correctly. Thanks to those manufactures created this mess.​
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
I think the point rufik made is the opposite. It's not about android autokilling app.

Instead when he force closes the app, it starts again.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Check that Auto launch isn't enabled for the app. Settings>Apps>Auto launch
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] evilhawk00:
No, you don't understand my point. I'm talking about this under the view of an app developer. I mean auto killing app also has a feature that prevents Jobscheduler to be called.

What I meant:

Due to no app auto killing => system not preventing Jobscheduler to be executed after app force close => Jobscheduler executed after force close app(Jobscheduler task was created before force close app, and Jobscheduler is not the part of app, so it is not forced closed, it still execute, it should be cancelled by the app itself) => Jobscheduler task call codes from the app => the app starts itself.

More info : https://stackoverflow.com/a/63226260

With Jobscheduler, you can make a app to restart itself after forced close on AOSP. But this trick never works on manufacturer customized Roms with app auto killing feature.
