[Google Pixel 6] seanpixel6:
Seems have last been here. Recently I picked up a pixel 6. I'm thinking it had all the functionality I need. Long story short. Went to a meeting and try to cast information to the screens and lo and behold. I needed a Google Chromecast dongle. My previous phone's all had miracasts. Is there a way to install Miracast on a pixel 6? I did look through the forums. I couldn't find anything specifically speaking to this
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
Is there a reason why the Miracast app won't work for you?
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
If you typed a response, it didn't post.

Miracast Wifi Display
[Google Pixel 6] seanpixel6:
It's not installed on the pixel
[Google Pixel 6] DGL2033:
Mirrorcast and others, like Easycast are apps available in Playstore. There are others as well. Here's some helpful info:

Project your Pixel phone's screen - Pixel Phone Help

To share or stream content, you can project your Pixel phone’s screen through casting or through a wired connection. Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 8.0 and up. Learn how to check

support.google.com
[Google Pixel 6] TxMNSTR:
I'd like to have it too.

I just moved to a pixel as my old phone was too old and apps wouldn't support it anymore, but in that one miracast just works. It's total BS that a phone that costs 450-800 euros (depending upon the exact model) just cannot connect to any tv with a standard connection protocol.

I discovered AirBeamTv apps which provide screen casting support but they're quite slow and need an app on both tv and device which is not the best solution and not every smart-tv brand is covered.
[Google Pixel 6] DGL2033:
It depends on what type of content you want to mirror. If it's DMCA protected content, then you might need a dongle plug in, like Fire Stick, Roku, or other. I use fire Stick, for my Amazon prime videos content, which I then add apps like Hulu to it. Now, since I don't have home WiFi, I use my hotspot for internet connection, for Fire Stick, which is a part of my carrier unlimited plan. Now, if you are only interested in mirroring non-DMCA content, like your own pictures, videos, or browser screen? Then you might need a different dongle. I bought a cheep mirrorcast dongle online, which worked just fine for non-DMCA content.
[Google Pixel 6] CoolKitty:
To my knowledge, Miracast support was dropped out of Android from 6.0 onwards, but most other (not Google) manufacturers have it baked in as one form or another in their ROMs still. Google however does not support any form of Miracast on any of their first party phones, only Google Cast (which I think is Chromecast basically but don't quote me on that), which is proprietary and not compatible with Miracast.

I have tried on a Pixel 3a, 3a XL and a 6 but neither one works with Miracast on stock android.

Can confirm it's good and it's free and it does what it says. It does need some additional setup and relies on adb so I don't think it'd work for something like a TV.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Wick3dWolfy:
Hey,

So last night I decided to try and integrate a wireless charger inside my OP6.

Wired everything up, but the problem is, that the phone doesn't show it's charging. Not on screen and not on the battery icon. Only thing that shows, is the little light next to the upper speaker.

I soldered the connections right next to the usb port, one ground, one to vbus.

Where should I do the connections, so it would show it's charging, like a normal charger does?

Do I have to solder to both vbus locations? Directly on the charging port? - which I tried, but somehow the soldering didn't stick there 🤷🏻‍♂️

If someone has a stock RC30 installed, can you tell me what user id runs adbd and debuggerd?

To be able to debug processes and take screenshots, those processes must running be with some sort of privileged permissions and may be exploitable...
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
debuggerd runs as root, adbd runs as shell (that's on my official RC30 phone)
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Hmm, in that case, it may actually be possible to take a screenshot without root by writing an ADB client in Java to connect to the adb daemon. And, shell also has access to the surface flinger, so it may be possible to do autorotation as well.

Anyways, I'll take a look at debuggerd and see if there anything interesting.

I did find some funny code in debuggerd.c a minute ago. Watch your phone's LED and type this into a root shell:

echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Yup.

[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Holy ****!!! There may be a root hole in installd:

installd runs as root; it is the daemon that allows you to do the following commands related to installing and uninstalling APKs and managing their DEX files.

{ "ping", 0, do_ping },
{ "install", 3, do_install },
{ "dexopt", 3, do_dexopt },
{ "movedex", 2, do_move_dex },
{ "rmdex", 1, do_rm_dex },
{ "remove", 1, do_remove },
{ "freecache", 1, do_free_cache },
{ "rmcache", 1, do_rm_cache },
{ "protect", 2, do_protect },
{ "getsize", 3, do_get_size },
{ "rmuserdata", 1, do_rm_user_data },

The install daemon reads these commands from a socket and then executes them.

The interesting command is the "install" command, which maps to the following function:

static int do_install(char **arg, char reply[REPLY_MAX])
{
return install(arg[0], atoi(arg[1]), atoi(arg[2])); /* pkgname, uid, gid */
}

int install(const char *pkgname, uid_t uid, gid_t gid)
{
char pkgdir[PKG_PATH_MAX];
char libdir[PKG_PATH_MAX];

if ((uid < AID_SYSTEM) || (gid < AID_SYSTEM)) {
LOGE("invalid uid/gid: %d %d\n", uid, gid);
return -1;

}
if (create_pkg_path(pkgdir, PKG_DIR_PREFIX, pkgname, PKG_DIR_POSTFIX))
return -1;
if (create_pkg_path(libdir, PKG_LIB_PREFIX, pkgname, PKG_LIB_POSTFIX))
return -1;

if (mkdir(pkgdir, 0755) < 0) {
LOGE("cannot create dir '%s': %s\n", pkgdir, strerror(errno));
return -errno;
}
if (chown(pkgdir, uid, gid) < 0) {
LOGE("cannot chown dir '%s': %s\n", pkgdir, strerror(errno));
unlink(pkgdir);
return -errno;
}
if (mkdir(libdir, 0755) < 0) {
LOGE("cannot create dir '%s': %s\n", libdir, strerror(errno));
unlink(pkgdir);
return -errno;
}
if (chown(libdir, AID_SYSTEM, AID_SYSTEM) < 0) {
LOGE("cannot chown dir '%s': %s\n", libdir, strerror(errno));
unlink(libdir);
unlink(pkgdir);
return -errno;
}
return 0;
}

The 2nd and 3rd arguments let you specify an ARBITRARY uid that owns that package. I think we can either rebuild adb to always pass in uid 0 and gid 0 (this may not be possible; adb may not have anything to do with the uid/gid selected). Or maybe connect to the socket from an application on the phone, and then marshall the command manually. That would get an APK onto the phone running as root.

Gonna give this a shot right now.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Look at the beginning of the function.

if ((uid < AID_SYSTEM) || (gid < AID_SYSTEM)) {
LOGE("invalid uid/gid: %d %d\n", uid, gid);
return -1;

That will disallow installing something with root access. AID_SYSTEM is 1000, the root uid is 0 of course.

But if we could get an app installed as the system user.. that may open up some more possibilities.

Also, I believe the socket that installd listens on is protected. If I remember correctly, it is restricted to the system user.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Does anyone use a SD card with this tablet? I've bought a few different SanDisk ones and have been disappointed with the write speeds which is most important to me.

I understand that you'll never be able to achieve the advertised speeds, but no matter what card I use the write speed is always capped at 20MB/s.

When I looked at the Amazon reviews of these cards people were complaining they weren't getting the full write speed, but the lowest speeds reported were at least 50MB/s, not 20MB/s.

I've looked online and since there is little information about this model I haven't been able to find any others who could confirm that this tablets SD write speed is capped at 20MB/s. If so then there would be no reason to waste any more money on SD cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
The SD card speed is limited by the bus speed of the tablet. Buying high speed cards to use in it is a waste of money.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Yes I came to this conclusion, just wondering if anyone here knows what the actual bus speed is for the SM-X200 to use as a frame of reference
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I believe it is a USB 2 bus bit I'm not certain. You have to realize that this is a budget priced tablet and isn't going to have the performance of top-of-the-line ones.

[Samsung Galaxy A12] AlexGWM:
Hello, does anyone know how to root the A127M U7? This is the build version A127MUBS7BVJ2 (Android 12)
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
Yeah, the same way you root all the A12s

Look around the A12 forum, and there are a lot of ways.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
Root on most Samsung devices works pretty much the same. Enable developer options, enable OEM Unlocking, reboot to download mode, unlock the bootloader. From this point it gets a bit more complicated - if TWRP is not available for your device, you have to patch the AP file in Magisk, then flash with Odin.

Edit: Please make sure you use the Search functions and browse existing threads as the answer you need may already be available.

Here is the unofficial TWRP thread for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AlexGWM:
Thank you, my problem is that when I try to put a file patched with magisk it stays in the download, it gives me boot error

My problem really is that I have binary 7, I don't know how to do it there.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
did you use 25.1 patched magisk? or 23.0 patched magisk?

If you used 25.1, patch the whole ap, not just the boot img

If you use 23.0, install 25.1 patched magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AlexGWM:
I used 25.1

Do I patch only the AP? It's what I did, don't patch the BL.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
huh? did you unlock bootloader and flash the patched ap with odin?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
Follow the instructions in the thread I linked to flash TWRP, then once you're booted into TWRP, flash Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AlexGWM:
Okay
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
You cannot boot to twrp without custom vbmeta. Install magisk before installing twrp or your device will have a DTB Load Fail
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
Don't follow the tutorial he gave. It is incorrect and it will result into a DT Load Fail, and you will lose all your data.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
Ah, thanks for the clarification

Samsung changes a lot with their devices so it's impossible to stay atop everything. Most of my Samsung experience is with devices that accept a custom recovery binary with no other modifications, except maybe Multidisabler
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
That's actually quite true, I remember the phones before the S6 and how it didn't even need a vbmeta and now these days, you need a custom vbmeta or it will result in a DT Load Fail.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AlexGWM:
Thank you, I had not done it yet, everything did not seem correct to me and I preferred to continue looking for information.

Do I need to create the custom vbmeta? Or after installing Magisk it is no longer necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
after installing magisk, it is no longer nessecary.

Hey Guys,

It took a while for me to find this elsewhere, but now I realize that someone has already posted the very same link in the Blackstone forum.

You can always turn plugins off if you find it slowing your browsing down.

Just an FYI, I used my old Opera9 folder instead of the one included in the .zip, and it works fine.

I think the new Opera build might be a bit faster on its own too...

I was playing with both Nova and Android 13 settings (which just installed on my new OnePlus 9). One of those messed up with the colors of some of my icons, and I can't find the setting that fixes it. What could it be that caused such changes?

Nova: background was changed to a lighter color.

BofA: background changed from white to black.

Fidelity: background changed from green to pink.

Goodreads: the FOREground (the letter "g") recolored from black to light blue.

Lyft: background recolored from pink to green (the opposite from Fidelity lol)

My Fios: this is so dumb. In the original icon, there's a white "FIOS" on a black background.

SoundHound: background recolored from black to white.

Target: red target on white background changed to teal target on black background. lol

Venmo: blue background changed to orange.

Wish: the word "wish" used to be black.

Zoom: used to be blue background.
