[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SilentEYE:
You need root and the app matlog.

You will see a lot of messages spam although you even don't touch the device.

After uninstalling nova launcher most of them stop.

@K1nsey6

You won't see a spam log in the battery stats of the app.

As said before, I wasn't sure about the time with the purchase. I just stopped using it, because of the many reportings in my logs.

Lawnchair didn't cause that problems for me.

EDIT

I have retested nova on my other phone that is rooted and the log spam isn't there anymore. Probably they've fixed something in the past year or so.

Nova launcher is owned by another company now, have been on the beta launcher but they have not updated past beta 3 for quite a few months now
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] K1nsey6:
Nova has usually done that, a major release after an Android version update (A10 to 11, 12 etc) to fix any new conflicts found and to add new features. Thats how a 12 year old app is only on V8.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhansel7399:
I am sure this is the wrong forum, so please point me in the correct direction, but I have a Hyundai HyTab Pro 10LA1 tablet that I was able to get into but have been unsuccessful with installing a Generic Android 10 or 11 image (from Google). It shows the Hyundai splash screen and then goes to a black screen. And, as you can guess, I did NOT backup the unit. I have seen multiple guides for other tablets, but none specifically for this unit.

My END goal is to get just a BASE Android 10 or higher OS installed on it with WiFi capabilities. Yes, the unit has the ability for a SIM card, but I do NOT care about that. If anyone can give me a hand, that would be great.

Thank you in advance.
[Huawei Watch GT 3] ViXoZuDo:
Hi, I'm currently using an iphone 13, and I was looking for a smartwatch to pair it to... sadly, I don't like the very poor battery life of every single apple watch, so after a little bit of research, looks like the huawei GT3 pro is probably the best option even if it does not support apps and music transfer since apple doesn't allow it, but I would like to know if I sync the watch with my android tablet, and install some apps and transfer some music, it would stay with the watch after I sync it back with the iPhone.

[Google Pixel 6a] Radjah2001:
Most people seem fairly happy with the stock pixel user experience, after all a main reason we purchase pixels is because of it's software.

in your experience, is there any benefit to any of the currently available custom roms that would increase performance and battery? I mean something bigger than just customisability and tinkering
[Google Pixel 6a] fix-this!:
I've been debating this too. I haven't rooted a device in 4 years. No real reason to anymore. I'm on the fence because I'm hoping for a true blackout theme and better animation transitions on a custom rom. Haven't pulled the trigger yet.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Performance, efficiency, and control over fast more than what Google chooses to provide.
[Google Pixel 6a] fix-this!:
What roms are you referring to?
[Google Pixel 6a] Deleted member 6200352:
It has been scientifically proven that running custom kernels and/or roms helps to minimize E.D.

Mainly battery life. I have to charge my phone once every 1-1.5 weeks or so, vs every or every other day like most people.

*Keeping the screen brightness only as bright as you need it (i.e. not ecessively set or maxxed out--I keep mine around 1/4 maybe touch more, on the brightness slider.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Bruh, do you even use your phone at all? What ROM makes such a huge difference for your use to extend your battery life from 1 day to over 7 days?
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Literally any?

GrapheneOS gets rid of all Google Services, thus (and overall) it's a lot more privacy-focused.

Performance isn't a huge issue on Pixel devices (imo), because the ROM they come with isn't super bloated, but you can always just use LineageOS, or any other barebones ROM if you don't need any fancy features, only sleek (slick?) performance.

I have always been a fan of ResurrectionRemix/crDroid, which are filled with TONS of features. Sure, depending on who you are, you might not care for most/some of them (double tapping on statusbar to lock the screen, changing the animation of quick settings tiles when you tap on them, blinking the flashlight when you receive a call, and many, many other small things).

Nowadays, even ROMs like this aren't hogging up your performance or ruin your battery life.

Besides flashing custom ROMs, rooting is still useful for me.

Yeah, getting SafetyNet to pass can be a bit of a hassle, but in exchange I get to use ACC to prolong my battery's health, I can get rid of the navbar pill, and I can use an lsposed module to disable secure flag in my transportation app, so I can take a screenshot of my ticket (should the inspector come when there's no cellular connection (and the app doesn't properly cache the ticket, because of great programming :))).

None of these are deal-breakers, but as long as there's still an option for doing these, I wouldn't want to miss out.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Battery life and performance is pretty good as is. The stock rom on Pixels isn't super bloated, so it's not like it has much of an effect on battery or the performance of your phone. With the stock kernel I lost about 0.6% of battery every hour overnight, with MVK kernel that number got reduced to about 0.4%. Does it make a difference? Not at all.

I guess you could root and use a kernel manager to downclock the CPU to gain some extra SoT, but that's about it. If you're not much of a tinkerer, and content with your current setup, there's no real reason to switch to something else.
[Google Pixel 6a] Deleted member 6200352:
Not really. I have no friends. 


I'll use it outside/on road but even then, phone conversations and internet browsing is not very much. Here and there, etc. Mostly texts or instant msgs.But calls here and there. I have it set to charge max 75% and will recharge when it gets to around 20%. Running LineageOS w/ the kernel it comes with it. Nothing fancy. I don't use any social media app (or social media or that matter), so I don't have to worry about that stuff draining the battery. WiFI and/or VPN will so I tend to keep them turned off until I need them. If I used phone more regularly, I could see myself having to recharge it maybe every 3-4 days maybe, I dunno.
[Google Pixel 6a] jawz101:
Battery life can actually be worse on custom ROMs that do not have Google Play Services. When an app uses Play Svcs to handle push notifications, things like notification pushes get are managed and batched together by Play Services. If a phone does not have Play Svcs, apps that use cloud notifications may have to register their own persistent polling services which can chew up battery. And then you have to disable battery optimization for that app so it doesn't get dozed.

I've at least heard anecdotal evidence that battery life suffers on GrapheneOS because of this. Say, if you have an email client and messaging apps that require a persistent polling service to look for new messages.

Nowadays when I look up reasons to use ROMs or root, I get annoyed when articles list modules or features that serve to fix the issues that the act of making these changes cause (eg- hide root from other apps, force apps to doze, magisk bootloop saver, etc). I mean now you're spending the time managing the problem you've created for yourself. It's silly. Unless there are practical reasons to customize, I see no compelling reason to do so.
[Google Pixel 6a] towhidabid:
Very well said. I've been thinking the same. Google does there optimizations pretty well and they have given even more options to even tinker with a lil more effecient as per your need. There's no need to go out of the way replace the whole rom. even if you do you should have a very good reason and it should have some very noticable difference that can be seen to any one... Though i always have a soft corner for the modding community. Because of their push oems are stepping up their game.
[Google Pixel 6a] Deleted member 6200352:
Interesting. I do have Gapps installed and regarding polling the servers, while I myself haven't had battery drain, I can definitely attest to custom roms possibly messing with polling. On my old M8 (which also had Lineage), if the phone was on standby for a long time, I would not get ANY text or IMs unless I turned on the screen, THEN I'd get a bunch of messages. Or even if the phone was on, I would have to send a text message to myself and then I'd get a bunch back from people. So, yes at least on that phone there was serious polling issues I opened myself up with.

Currently I am on the newer phone(s), which I don't experience those issues, but you are absolutely right about them.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
I've also experienced that issue on my 3T running.. any custom ROM, basically. I think it's mostly fixed on newer ROMs though. YMMV.
[Google Pixel 6a] 96carboard:
Speak for yourself. I bought pixel for the HARDWARE, and specifically the fact that it isn't crippled (locked) and is properly supported in AOSP. The factory prebuilt software is utter trash with one purpose and one purpose ONLY: To track everything you do.

In order to safely use the hardware, it is NECESSARY to wipe the spyware from it. Either build AOSP from source yourself, or use a security focused distribution like GrapheneOS.
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
Add possibly Viper4Android on A13 some day and its perfect.

Safetynet / play integrity & hide root is pretty easy on stock, but did you have success on custom Roms?

My banking app doesnt even rely on Safetynet / play integrity and checks for root itself, but shamiko takes care of that, but I suspect it would detect a custom Rom and refuse to work.

An entire Rom would probably much harder to hide than just root.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Never really saw the need/use for v4a.

Sure. Never had issues. Besides adding my banking apps to the DenyList, I also had to hide the Magisk app. What I've found is that some apps may look for the Magisk app being installed on your device (you don't even necessarily need to be rooted, just have Magisk installed).
[Google Pixel 6a] DB126:
Love the warped perspective a few posts up. Reminder to all on the risks of oxygen deprivation at birth ;)
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
I really hope someone finds out how to make it work on A13 soon, luckily my music app has an eq so its not like it sounds bad, but what I mostly miss is replay gain ig, when I'm outside music with a wider dynamic range is a bit of a problem, the quieter parts just drown in the outside noise.

yes, mine do, hideMyApplist takes care of that, for some reason when I hide magisk App, it gets picket up by AppListDetector (well not by my banking app at least).

I kinda wanna try a custom ROM but flashing an entire new ROM is a lot scarier than just rooting stock, like some apps might not be working cause they rely on google services etc, maybe when I buy a new phone in a few years and this one doesnt get updates anymore I could try that.
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
With all the scandals involving big tech all the time, do you really wonder why people distrust google & co?

In the end it's probably never as bad as you fear and never as good as you hope.

A13 has some nice privacy protecting features built in, like Android System Intelligence all happens on device, then again, gboard, google app, etc don't, ig u get a little bit of everything.

You can never be completely private, and for that reason some of my friends say "Well then it doesn't matter anyway, just know everything about me idc" and some others be like "ill just stop using all their services alltogether"

In the end everyone can do what they want cant they?
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
um, so? :D

Even if the ROM of your choice doesn't come with GApps preinstalled, you can always just sideload MindTheGapps.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] samo_lego:
Hi there!

I'm stuck in a bootloop with dm verity error message. Phone turns off and on continiously. I'm not able to get into recovery / fastboot using button combo :\.

How I got into this:

I tried unlocking my merlinx, but ... didn't want to wait 7 days with the official tool. So I used https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient and did the "unlock bootloader" procedure. Phone booted fine, though there was dm verity error message and I had to press the power button to continue booting.

Then I followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-crdroidandroid-for-redmi-note-9-merlin-merlinx.4333179/

Then, I downloaded shrp recovery, crDroid rom, gapps and firmware. Booted in fastboot, did `fastboot flash recovery shrp.img` and booted to recovery. Then I took backup of IMEI, wiped the data and saw an interesting builtin zip for dm verity disabling. Flashed that, then proceeded with custom rom installation. All went smooth.

I booted the rom. There was no dm verity message, nor Redmi logo, but phone booted normally. If I remember correctly, I didn't have to press the power button to continue (there was no message about it.)

Proceeded with phone setup. Camera didn't work :( ... Tried rebooting, once again no Redmi logo but phone boots fine. "Ok then, I'll try a different ROM and hopefully camera works". I choose "advanced restart -> recovery" and phone turned off. Screen turned on (like you'd expect) but then turned off again. Again, no Redmi logo or dm verity message.

And now the phone does that. Screen turns on and off after ~30 seconds.

My first thought was that bootloader got locked again somehow. Using the mtkclient tool, linked above, I relocked and unlocked the bootloader.

There's still no Redmi logo present, though I can see the dm verity message again.

What have I done wrong? I know it could be the impatience with 7 day waiting, but since phone booted fine 2 times ..? Was it the recovery dm verity zip?

Does anyone know what to do here? I'm able to use mtkclient tool. Button combos for recovery and fastboot seem unresponsive ...

Thank you very much.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Erudaro:
Hello.

I did exactly same think with my Redmi Note 9 and I can say you hard bricked your phone. But don't worry there is a way to solve it. You need to follow vagelis199's guide exactly and there should be no worries. It is not so easy but not so hard too.

Sending this from my Redmi Note 9 with android 12 R vendor.

I'm not so knowledgeable about this part of tech but crDroid guide is outdated in my opinion and it should be replaced with new one, that is a big problem and should be considered. I installed Android 12 S vendor, most recent one from my android 11 MIUI and it bootlooped, after installing with Firmware of Global MIUI it was hardbricked. So I am waiting a little and trying to install most resent crDroid with EU MIUI Firmware which very recently was published with MIUI 13 Android 12 EU. I am not sure why it didn't work because EU and Global are very similar.

I have recently rooted my Onn 7, and extracted the boot and recovery images.

(I accidentally deleted the boot image, but I still have one patched with Magisk, and the recovery image is still present.)

[OnePlus 10 Pro] everythingfortuna:
I have had a OnePlus device and never planned on changing that until I did some reading and file system digging. It seems that a deliberate move to stop any rooting or Interpreting files' function is happening from Oppo/OnePlus. Looking around there are a few things that seem out of place like build prop and other things. I've had a few A/B devices so nothing to that affect but it's just weird.

Anyways, i have sent a few messages and will keep doing it and asking for a more formal way if complaining than talking to some low-mid level employee will do. Figuring XDA is one of the biggest groups that have control in the android community I'd ask you turds to hop in with me and see if we can bug them enough because after this crap I'm out of the OnePlus game.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] the_rooter:
You know. Not trying to sound negative, but the amount of regular users outnumber the users that modify the oneplus phones. Won't harm them at all. Love the push on trying to get a answer, but this is bound to happen to all developer friendly phones. Eventually and sad to say I feel the same will happen to pixel devices.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Doubtful. Real Android software developers buy Pixel phones too and Google's phones have *always* been glorified dev kits going all the way back to the Nexus days. Google also benefits from the openness of the Pixel platform as it makes it easy for devs to fix things and submit patches so Google doesn't have to pay someone else to do it. Now phones that have been tampered with will undoubtedly find it harder and harder to dodge security checks implemented by devs who believe such mods are a security risk but that's an entirely different issue.

It's also not really worth speculating about the future as there are alternatives right now, like the Pixel 7 series, that are totally wide open for tinkering.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] the_rooter:
People said the same thing about one plus. Google is definitely making it harder for the pixel especially going to a/b. Just watch Google will lock down their pixel devices as well and then it be the end of modding devices unless people can find back holes in the software. Guarantee that's going to happen soon.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
A/B was never meant to lock down the phone, just to allow background updates and some redundancy so that in case something goes wrong, the phone can revert to the other partition instead of it just bricking. The issues for third party development have largely been addressed by this point. Google hired away the developer of Magisk and still lets him work on it so I'm not too concerned about it for now. My Pixel 7 Pro is fully unlocked and rooted and working great. The only things I miss from my OnePlus 9 are the fast charging and the fingerprint reader that wasn't testy. Everything else I'm much happier with and I highly encourage anyone who's not happy with OnePlus to take a look at the Pixel series.

It's also not relevant what might happen in the future as there are devices that have the openness people are looking for available *today*.
