[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gold_sprinter:
Manilla 2d is a today page theme. Rather than having the cube to access programs you have a sort of 'carousel" at the bottom of the screen. It is used by dragging your finger or stylus from one end to the other.

A video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRs5jF3EVfA

While ROMs have been created to include the interface it is not actually a ROM. You can have any ROM and add it. Using this program: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398173

What I did for the longest time was have a stock Bell ROM and just added the Manilla2d interface to it. But what I noticed is that with the PagePool being set too low made the device lag and freeze quite a bit.

Hope that helps, welcome to XDA.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Banking apps can be not running when they think the phone is not safe even the phone is “not” rooted .

And factory reset or OTA update after rooting can make root access botched. Just like unrooting phone. So root checker apps can’t detect rooting after factory reset.

Then can i tell whether my phone has ever been rooted before factory reset without checking knox?

(Cuz broken knox doesnt necessarily mean rooting.)

My phone is reset . Root checking apps say its not rooted. But banking apps dont work.

Is thery any way to check..?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
know triggered pretty much means custom recovery, custom rom, or root, and they can all break banking apps. Did you buy the device used?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
You might find better support in the specific forum for your device. What is the make and model of the device in question? Additionally, which banking apps aren't working?

Outside of Knox, there's not really any way to tell if a device has been rooted, if it is currently on OEM firmware with a locked bootloader. If the bootloader is unlocked, it most likely has been rooted at some point., but none of that should matter if the device is restored to factory state with OEM firmware and a locked bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
My phone is galaxy note4 910k and samsung phone’s bootloader is already unlocked in korea.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
I mean whether it is currently unlocked now, not whether it is unlockable.

If your bootloader is unlocked, your device will fail Play Integrity, and banking apps may not work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Samsung phones in korea dont have bootloader locked. They are sold with bootloader unlocked in the first place.

Thats default. So i dont need to unlock it to root or install ROM.,,
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Ah. Well, you have two choices:

Lock your bootloader (only do this if your firmware is completely stock)

Root using Magisk and read this thread, and use the linked module

An unlocked bootloader will result in the device failing integrity attestation, which DRM and banking apps rely on. The only way to fix this is to either use a Magisk module for a partial workaround, or to relock the bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Thanks but i wonder

Is there way to check if my phone was rooted before factory reset…?

I mean reset is not like installing stock rom, so even if files related to rooting are gone after factory reset, i think there are some traces to check,,,

Please…?:(

I ve never thought factory reset can wipe rooting trace like installing stock rom
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
No - you can reflash factory firmware using Odin, but there's not really any easy way to tell if your device was previously modified.

Factory reset just wipes /data and does not remove the SU binary. In my case, with my Magisk rooted Pixel 5, I could perform a factory reset...but because the boot image is patched, my device would still be rooted, unless I selected "Complete Uninstall" in Magisk. Factory reset and clean flashing factory firmware are not the same thing.

If you don't know what state your device was in previously, the only thing you can really do is perform a reflash of the factory firmware using Odin. This overwrites all partitions including /boot, /recovery, and /system.

Again, even after a complete clean flash, your device will still fail Play Integrity until you lock the bootloader, meaning that banking/DRM apps may not work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tutibreaker:
no,no way to check if was rooted, samsung device to check own security uses knox, is tripped means device has been modded but not in a specific way like rooting
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Thank you.

So factory reset affected the rooting and root checker apps can’t detect rooting , then

No other way to check whether my phone was rooted before reset right?

But still wonder reset can not touch system partition but how come root checker cant detect …

This is another question…

if i rooted my phone and then used rooting hide or unrooting or rootcloak to make banking apps run on my phone then i do factory reset,

would banking apps still run While root checker apps dont detect rooting anymore??

Or those efforts that i make to run banking apps are gone with other rooting traces..?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Again, factory reset doesn't necessarily affect root, especially with modern system-as-root, or with recovery hijacks. Factory reset just wipes the /data partition - removing user apps and data. In the case of Magisk, this would remove the Magisk manager app, but would not remove the Magisk patch from the boot image.

No, because as I stated above, performing a factory reset does not remove root nor does it hide your unlocked bootloader. Using Magisk as the example yet again, a factory reset would remove the Magisk app as well as installed modules. However, if there were "permanent" system modifications, these would persist after a factory reset.

Yes.

So to use my device as an example again: Pixel 5 on OEM firmware, rooted with Magisk 25.2, using Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.3.1 mod 2. I pass BASIC and DEVICE integrity and am able to use banking apps.

If I perform a factory reset, the boot image will still be patched with Magisk, and the bootloader will still be unlocked, so Play Integrity will fail DEVICE at the very least, and most likely BASIC too. Because the Magisk app is installed as a user app, this would be removed during a factory reset, meaning there would be no manager available to manage root permissions or load modules until I installed Magisk again.

The only thing a factory reset does is wipe the /data partition and internal userspace storage. It does not reset or restore anything else, so any modifications to any system partitions will persist after a data wipe.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Oh i got it!

But i used that phone before magisk came out. So i think if my phone was rooted , defintely via one click rooting apps .

Then the answer to my qustion can be different..?

Btw i also saw people saying that they rooted phone with kingroot app and then they did factory reset, root checker apps dont detect rooting.

Its another curioustiy,

Can i bring back stock camera app via OTA update that i deleted with rooting?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
No. Regardless of how the device is rooted - whether it's the "old" system-as-root way, where su was installed as a system app, or the "new" systemless root way, a factory reset aka data wipe makes no difference. The only way to get rid of it is to reflash the factory firmware.

Regardless of the "vendor" the process generally remains the same. Either /recovery is hijacked and the system is forced to load root, or root is installed as a system app, or the boot image is patched to allow user root access.

As an aside, Kingroot is dangerous because of some serious security issues. Magisk avoids these through signature verification and private keys.

Yes.

Reflashing factory firmware, as I stated previously, overwrites everything with the firmware Samsung originally installed on the device - meaning all included apps.

So if you want to return your device to complete bone stock, you'd reflash the factory firmware in Odin, and you'd use the CSC.tar instead of HOME_CSC.tar (the latter is for updating when you want to keep your user data and apps)

Then, you would lock your bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Just updating software that pops up in phone reinstalls stock apps??

But only updating software via ota in phones still dont allow banking apps run. I mean flashing a stock rom and just updating firm ware in phone via ota is different.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Yes, because OTA is generally a partial update, as opposed to a full factory flash.

I've told you several times...If you want banking apps to run on your device, and you don't want to use a root solution, you need to clean flash the factory firmware and lock your bootloader. That is the bottom line.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
just doing ota update is going to reinstall stock cam app i deleted -amazing thanks.

Honestly… I am worrying malware app could root my phone . Cuz my phone got factory reset by malware app suddenly. So what i have now is reset phone .Thats why i want to know if my phone was rooted..

+ i used data recovery program after reset So i think thats maybe reason banking apps dont run now . But not sure the name of program so cant check if that programs have rooting feature.

So i just want to know if my phone has ever been rooted before reset. So worrying… i cant even sleep.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
We have gone around and around this topic in this discussion. I have provided the answers for you. Without somehow comparing every partition against untouched firmware, there is no way to know what is currently modified. If everything is stock, there is no way to know whether it was previously modified. Your best option, once again, is to perform a clean flash of the factory firmware, and lock your bootloader. Locking your bootloader enables additional security features that verify whether or not the images have been modified, and will prevent boot if they are, which is why you need to perform a clean flash first. Doing this will remove any potential rootkit or hijack, because you'll be overwriting everything to bone stock.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
Thanks.. i really appreciate it

I dont use that phone anymore . Just wanted to know how to tell ,,

For the last ..

can i check if my stock camera app was modified? Or hackers can delete stock cam and install modified stock cam with rooting.

Can i analysis this app..?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Yes, there are ways to compare files to determine whether a copy has been tampered with by comparing it with a known trustworthy original. A Google search turns up several results.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jenjenjney:
thank you

Can i extract the cam app using apk extractor then send to security company?

Can that company analysis the apk that i send with this way..?

Just want to make sure all information about app is not lost after extracting

Btw if delete stock camera app with adb or rooting , and install modified stock cam and do ota update that pops up in phone, would there be 2 stock camera apps exist? I mean one is stock cam and the other is othermodified stock cam that i installed

So sorry for asking again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
there are tools which will compare files for you. I do not know their name, maybe another user can give you one of them, or you can try to find them, but they exist,

I need well optimized system that will use minimum ammount of resources. Thanks.

Just try that Lineage R mod - it should work fine. However if you want so old builds, then there is best list with Android 8 Oreo section:

When i try to install lower android version than 10 my phone boots in download mode... Yes, regular odin mode, no errors, etc. Please help, i want to get rid of that android 10 no matter what version it is, even LineageOs or AOSP, its still android 10 that use a lot of resources to work smoothly
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
1. Download this and extract.

2. Go to TWRP.

3. Follow this guide (flash this in TWRP, not in Odin).

It should work well. Older Android versions may require older kernel versions to run or you just chosen wrong builds (it needs to be A/B arm32_binder64 (A64 - not arm64) vndklite).

In case that Lineage R mod is not smooth enough do the same with other GSI's from the list from my previous post (always choose arm32_binder64 vndklite (A/B) builds). Some will be lightweight enough for your needs.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] MDN2137:
Ye i know build for my phone :D . I will try the GSI you linked but which gapps should i use to this system?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] MDN2137:
And i have another great idea, what if i just not install the gapps and run clear CLEAR android
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] MDN2137:
Hmm... Also i can install the most important gapps, I didnt think about that, that should use very small ammount of ram, cpu, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Just use build I linked above. It has integrated Gapps and passes needed certfications out of the box. You can also download vanilla build and flash pico gapps yourself. However option with integrated gapps is just fine and sufficient. Read whole thread - author had the same problem as you and solved it by flashing Lineage R mod with integrated gapps - it's the most simple way.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] MDN2137:
Idk why but when i flash this GSI with no error and then i try to boot to the system it goes download mode. I think i know how to flash GSI's, I'm doing it 100% right. I flashed it in every possible way. It is getting boring
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Well, flash maybe at first stock firmware via Odin to ensure that kernel and vendor partiton are untouched. And then flash GSI in TWRP two times like it was said in guide.

However the most common cause of such effect (booting to download mode) is just wrong build (wrong architecture - you need to always download arm32_binder64 (A64) builds).
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] MDN2137:
I already tried to flash GSI after flashing ROM via Odin3. Still booting to download mode. Im 420% sure i downloaded right build.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Well, I'm out of ideas. However you can still try to resize system partition in TWRP to make it a bit bigger and then try to flash GSI image (two times). You can also just try to play with different GSI's from the GSI list - just look for the smallest images and try to flash them. If some will properly boot then just go back to TWRP and flash rest of your needs (pico gapps, Magisk, etc.).
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] MDN2137:
I will try that in future

Hello,

I tried to flash AOSP (aosp_barbet-userdebug) on my Google Pixel 5a device exactly as described here: https://source.android.com/docs/setup/build/running

Unfortunately the phone stuck in the bootloader and got a boot loop. USB connection doesn't work, neither fastboot nor adb don't see the device. Buttons are not working, except the power button, which just stops the boot loop.

Hello

I have a 6915 device from a friend to have it fixed.

It does nothing when you press the power button, and a hard reset isn´t the solution neither, but it is possible to enter into bootloader mode.

The problem is that I download the ROM from the HP official site, and when I execute it, i obtain code 203: update is incompatible, and above it where it says "Your device", model ID is "Unknown". I have tried a lot of things and searched all the web around, with no results.

Do you know how to fix it or what is happening, please?

Thank you very much,

Regards!

It is not a battery problem, I have another one from my 6515 and I have the same problem.

Hi there,

is there a good custom rom for the P11-Tablet-model Plus by Lenovo (TB-J616F)? LineageOS doesn't support only a few devices for Lenovo (and not this one) and unfortunately Elixr not a single device of Lenovo (yes, for the TB-J607F I've seen here this, but it seems not compatible).

In this respect, the question arises whether someone has already gained experience with an alternative version to the built-in-OS or whether there is such a thing at all for this model? 🧐
