Twrp starts but only gets to start screen then shuts down and reboots to lineageos. Also cannot access recover_a to flash anything else. Any ideas on how how to clear and reflash lineageos recovery?

[Fire TV General] daavm:
Hello! So I gave up a lot of time ago on having a custom launcher that was opened automatically instead of the stock launcher, but a while ago I thought about a way of using adb logcat to catch the events that launch the stock launcher and replace it with Wolf Launcher (or any other app, actually).

Disclaimer: this method requires a home server where you can run a docker instance or a bash script. It does not work directly inside FireTV.

I have not noticed any performance degradation in the firetv itself, and the latency is almost unnoticeable, to the point I can't even see a frame of the stock launcher (check video below).

I have put together a little script that will run a docker ubuntu instance, in which I then run this command:

./adb logcat '*:I' | grep --line-buffered "ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=\[android.intent.category.HOME\] flg=0x10[0-9]00000 cmp=com.amazon.tv.launcher/.ui.HomeActivity_vNext" | xargs -I {} ./adb shell am start -n com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity

It will look for lines in the logcat that start the activity "com.amazon.tv.launcher/.ui.HomeActivity_vNext", which happens whenever you tap the home button or choose a firetv profile.

Then it sends a command to open the Wolf Launcher (am start -n com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity).

It can be modified to either listen to other action, or to launch any other app instead of the Wolf Launcher. Hope it's useful :)
[Fire TV General] daavm:
The wallpaper goes to Amazon, for blocking every nice thing we find with updates :)
[Fire TV General] Queaven:
Hello @daavm , can you explain how to run that script? I mean, do i need to boot from Ubuntu and open a command window or can I run it on Windows 10?

I have a Fire Tv 4k Stick with wolf launcher, but there is no way i can delete the stock launcher and my son is always pressing the home button to find some videogames i dont want him to. The problem is that Amazon doesnt allow me to hide the recommendations so my only hope is to set the home button to launch the wolf launcher so the kid wont be able to find the %%%%% videogames.

Thank you
[Fire TV General] alpenmmilch:
I opened the remote and affixed cello tape on the place where home button is pressed.

Viola -- I also used KODI as default launch after boot using this https[://]f-droid[.]org/packages/news.androidtv.launchonboot/
[Fire TV General] daavm:
I guess you could adapt it for Windows, but this makes use of grep, which is a linux module, so you would need to rewrite the script... You can try Ubuntu WSL (https://ubuntu.com/wsl) and run it there I guess
[Fire TV General] itsyaboy:
Hey any idea if firestick supports external control protocols? I stumbled on a Siri shortcut that allows me to control my tcl tv with siri and I’m wondering if I can do the same with the firestick, there has to be a way tho because how else would the firestick app work?
[Fire TV General] Falcon_X:
Thanks for sharing!

From your video it looks very good.

I did something with Tasker, when I click on home it shows the Amazon launcher and jumps into Wolf Launcher, but you can clearly see the delay. Takes 1-2 seconds till Wolf Launcher is on.

Why do I need a Linux server with a Docker container?

The command is an ADB command?

Can I just run Remote ADB Shell on my smartphone and connect to my FireTV and copy & paste your code?
[Fire TV General] daavm:
The docker container is just what I decided to use because I use Unraid on my home server. You can just do it on a linux machine without docker. It's just adb, yes.

Not sure how Tasker does it so can't help you with the delay. Haven't used Remote ADB Shell either, so I don't know. Sounds like it would work, but not sure how you would keep it in the background.
[Fire TV General] Falcon_X:
doesn't work. Sadly.

With your command, I got the error, that ./adb doesn't exist. Is adb a file or a folder?

I've tried to create this folder, but as I don't have root access I can't create a folder inside root.

I changed the paths in your command to /storage/emulated/0/adb but I get the error:

/storage/emulated/0/adb: can't execute: Is a directory

/storage/emulated/0/adb: Permission denied

Tried the same with creating a file called adb inside the adb folder - but the same Permission denied
[Fire TV General] daavm:
? you are trying to run this in the fire tv directly, you have to run it from a linux machine. Download the platform-tools.zip for Android, unzip it, and you will have the adb file there. Again, run this in a linux machine, not inside the fire tv.
[Fire TV General] poyo1975:
I have created a Docker container using the following command on my Synology nas:

sudo docker run -i -t --network=host ubuntu:latest /bin/bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y android-tools-adb && /bin/bash"

With adb connect x.x.x.x:5555 I create a connection to the device and with adb shell I open a command line.

I have removed the ./ before the adb in the script.

But I don't know if it will work like this, I will get my Fire Cube tomorrow.

@daavm

I believe you have connected the device to the docker container via usb and are not running the script remotely.

I would have to find a way to build a Docker container that would automate this and run it remotely if it worked that way.
[Fire TV General] daavm:
No, I haven't connected the device via usb. I do the 'adb connect x.x.x.x:5555' as well. But that doesn't change anything.

You don't have to open the shell. Just run the script in the container.
[Fire TV General] Falcon_X:
I've created a Docker aswell, the same way poyo1975 did. Container is running.

I can connect via ADB to my FireTV in the shell from my server, but you said the script needs to run in the container and we don't have to open the shell.

I use Portainer for my Docker containers, I copied and pasted your command in the "command field" and clicked on "deploy container".

I get the error:

failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "./adb": stat ./adb: no such file or directory: unknown

Still to dumb to understand the whole thing, for me it's more like a trial and error. Hope to get another hint from you daavm :)
[Fire TV General] poyo1975:
Hi Falcon_X,

I also use portainer, you can build yourself an image.

I have attached my dockerfile and 2 script files.

Just click in Portainer under image build new image and then in the web editor paste the content of the dockerfile.Under upload paste the two script files and click on build.You have to give the image a name for example ubuntu-adb.The adb-connect script file you have to edit with an editor and change the ip address of your firetv.After the image is built you can under the tab container create a new container with the name you gave when creating the image.

At every container restart a connection to the firetv is established and the script of daavm is started.

Should work, but I can only test it tomorrow.

Many thanks to daavm for his script
[Fire TV General] daavm:
Again, ./adb will only work if you have downloaded platform-tools zip and unzipped it (which has adb inside). Alternatively, you can do apt install adb, and replace "./adb" by just "adb"
[Fire TV General] daavm:
As an update, I now use the following script as a custom script in a linuxserver/webtop container (check linuxserver docs on how to use custom scripts):

#!/bin/bash

echo "**** Installing ADB ****"

apt update && apt install -y adb

adb connect 192.168.0.97:5555

while true; do adb logcat | grep -G --line-buffered "ActivityManager: START u0 {act=\(com\.amazon\.tv\.action\.LAUNCH_PROFILE_PICKER\|android\.intent\.action\.MAIN cat=\[android\.intent\.category\.HOME\]\) flg=0x10\(0\|1\|2\)00000 cmp=com\.amazon\.\(tv\.launcher/\.ui\.HomeActivity_vNext\|ftv\.profilepicker/\.ui\.PickerActivity\)" | xargs -I {} adb shell am start -n com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity; done

I included the profile picker listener because I didn't want to have to select the profile every single time.
[Fire TV General] Jahassie80:
Awesome. Works flawlessly. Thank you!

Running on a old debian based raspberry pi zero.
[Fire TV General] Falcon_X:
Thanks again to daavm and poyo1875. Works!

Update: Only works until you shutdown the FireTV :-(
[Fire TV General] SevenFXD:
thanks

thanks! it's looks worked！

i have 2 questions

1. The adb log looks like this, is it normal?

2. Oops, when i press home, I can still see the Amazon home page, it will start after about 1 second.

Starting: Intent { cmp=com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity }
Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity }
Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity }
Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
...
[Fire TV General] Falcon_X:
The Adb log looks the same for me, too.

When I press home, I don't see the Amazon Launcher.

But when I shutdown the FireTV and my container is still running, it just shows: -- waiting for device --

When I turn the FireTV back on, it's still not recognized (IP is still the same).

Looks like I have to connect via ABD and re-run the script every time again, when I turn on the FireTV after a shutdown.

Can someone confirm this or is it just me?

[Google Pixel 7] moxon04:
Hey guys,

Newbie question here... Got the Pixel 7 a few weeks ago and did the December feature/security update last night.

Coming from an S10, I'm used to going to recovery and clearing cache partition after an update, or even factory reset after a major update to make sure the system doesn’t ‘hang up’ on old files.

Now, I don’t see the‘clear cache partition option in the Pixel 7 recovery. Is there any procedure I should follow after the update or just update, restart and you’re good to go ?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 7] kpjimmy:
Pretty much that's it. I personally go into the Google 1 app and the storage settings to free up junk files and some duplicate pictures I don't need. That, a reboot and that's it.
[Google Pixel 7] blackhawk:
Pixels apparantly lack the ability to clear the system cache. Been wondering about that too, more out of curiosity rather than need though.

Clearing the system cache has saved my system more than once.

Unlike Google or Samsung I don't touch the firmware if the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. I'm still running Pie on this N10+; last update was 3 years ago, current load is over 2.5 yo. Security simply isn't an issue, zero malware in that 2.5+ year time frame. It still runs like a bat out of hell with minimal maintenance.
[Google Pixel 7] blackhawk:
I use SD Maid pro which does a very good cleaning job for me. Not sure how well it works on Android 11 and up though. I generally ignore duplicate files though as deleting them can cause issues sometimes.

In this day and age you shouldn't need to worry about phone storage space but it's actually gotten worse not better. Embedded fast flash memory is dirt cheap... and this is the same corporation that says you don't need expandable storage or a dual drive smartphone🧐
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
In the process of doing some testing for EU, having been on NA, I noticed that the boot images were identical for both versions.

So I did a dump of the full OTA zips for both and compared the mdf5sum of all the partitions in the OTA. And, to my surprise, only one physical partition (mdm_oem_stanvbk) and some of the logical partitions differ between the two versions.

My guess is that this will also be true for the IN version, but someone with IN (KB2001) would have to verify this. I've attached files with the md5sums (and the diff between then) so that an IN user can compare their md5sums with these.

And it might be also be that this is true for all OTAs, but this is the first time I've compared two versions.

Which means that if you are looking for a boot image you can use either the NA or the EU one - at least on F.13.

[Black Shark 4] Sylardinho:
Hello!

I bought 2 Black Shark 4 phones in a row. The first one did not print out the callers phone number or their name from the beginning. It identified everyone as unknown callers, as if no one was sending their number. Of course, I tried it with my wife's and daughter's phones. I sent this back and ordered another one. This worked perfectly for 2 weeks, but since yesterday morning it also does not display the caller's number or name.

Has anyone ever encountered this? What could be the solution?

Unfortunately, rebooting and reinstalling did not help.

Thanks for your help!
[Black Shark 4] ksbwings:
I'm not sure whether you are using CN or Global ROM. Either you might have repeated numbers somewhere OR you have a conflict in the "default setting" between Xiaomi Dialer & Google Dialer (Phone) as I had.

So, to overcome this issue, I delete google Dialer (phone) and left the Xiaomi dialer alone then it works great for me. Of course, I can bring and use my Gmail acc to restore contacts. This issue happened a few months ago.

Wondering if there's a public exploit available for the mali gpu bug?

what I want to do with it is temporarily root my device so I can modify the dialer db that controls ability to record conversations and the like, without need to unlock my phone. my logic is that if an exploit existed, I'd be able to to run it, get root, perform the neccessary sqlite commands / modifications to the db, reboot phone and it should just work and OTA updates should also just continue to work without an issue.

see exploit code from github security team for similiar issue on pixel 6 from a year or so ago, but wondering if anything exists for this new issue?

also, one can correct me if I'm wrong about what I want to do and that it wont work, even if there was an exploit.
[Google Pixel 7] maliczech:
Mali MMU exploits are extremely powerful, and kept under the wraps for now. Most vendors started patching these things only very recently.

Some one-click-root will be dropped like it's 2015 after all this is said and done (or some malware using it shows up first). But doing it sooner would wreak too much havoc.

If your device is Mali, you might want to defer security updates if you wish to use soft root in the following months - provided you're ok with leaving your device vulnerable till then.

Hello, I just bought the Nothing Phone, but after a while I unpacked it and tried various functions, I found out that the rear LED doesn't work, by which I mean that the flashlight plus the rear flash don't work. I've never encountered anything like that, I'm very disappointed, I had quite high expectations from that mobile phone. Did something similar happen to you? Or if it's not just a software error, because I wouldn't be very happy if I returned it to them and it would work normally .Thanks for the replies ^^
