[Android Apps and Games] GalaxyA325G:
Thanks for this suggestion... as I'm always looking to watch YouTube sans ads...

My daily drive Android 12 Galaxy A32-5G has YouTube disabled in favor of the FOSS NewPipe youtube client instead, but what I did on my spare J7 (Android Oreo 8.1.0) was download this app to test it out.

One observation is that there are a lot of apps found on the Google Play Store with similar sounding names as yours if you run the search (which I had to do on the phone as I only access XDA-Developers from a PC web browser).

First I installed ADS Skipper after determining which was yours.

Then, I pressed the red "START" button.

Then it said "STOPPED!" so I pressed the "START" button again.

Up popped an "Activate" screen which was instantly overshadowed by a "Sign up Today" screen for "HRC Fertility" (whatever that is).

At the top was a pullout to "Continue to app ADS Jump" which I pressed.

Then came the "Activate" screen that was overshadowed before.

Activate: You need to activate this application in accessibility, video ADS skip feature will work after activating" [sic]

Where the two options are: "NOT NOW" & "ALLOW ACCESS".

I pressed "ALLOW ACCESS" & then I turned it on for "ADS SKIPPER".

That brought me back to the "START" screen which itself was immediately overshadowed by an ad for Kinney Woodworks LLC (whatever that is).

But the slider to "Continue to app ADS Jump" was at top as before.

So I hit that.

Now I come to a super confusing screen with a bunch of confusing buttons, saying at top "STOPPED!" in pink, and then, in red "START", and then below that "Mute ads = off" in magenta, and then another "START" button which is overshadowed by an ad about "Gun Laws Have Changed"...

I turn the magenta Mute ads to ON and then the top of the screen has swirling rainbow-colored strings saying in green "RUNNING...".

There are no other instructions, so I guess I can now go to YouTube?

I am not sure what to do next so I just hit the back button a few times to get back to my Android homescreen.

Then I start YouTube.

Now what do I do?

is it possible to create a new tab for TF3D

that will show the items on your home screen

eg. your task,calender,etc

?:confused:

can someone make it if its not made yet?:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
I use "second today" on a soft key but there is a new solution posted here which looks very promising too. Neither solution is a new manila tab but the results are as good as if not better than.:)

Been a popular question over the last few months that one.

[Moto G30] airwave1999:
I have a Moto G30 (bought in Australia) that I'd like to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 11. I've tried using the LMSA tool, but that just reflashes on Android 12. I'm following the tutorial here: https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-motorola-moto-g30-from-android-12-to-android-11/

When I come to download the ROM, I'm not sure which one I want. From the list (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/caprip/official/RETAPAC/) I know it will be one with XT2129-2 as that's my phone model, and it will have 11 in it rather than 12 for the Android version. But that still leaves 4 choices:

XT2129-2_CAPRIP_RETAPAC_JPTW_11_RRCS31.Q1-3-68-1-3_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2129-2-APEM2_CFC.xml.zip

XT2129-2_CAPRIP_RETAPAC_SA_11_RRCS31.Q1-3-68-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2129-2-APEM-SAR_CFC.xml.zip

XT2129-2_CAPRIP_RETAPAC_TH_11_RRCS31.Q1-3-68-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2129-2-APEM_CFC.xml.zip

XT2129-2_CAPRIP_RETAPAC_TW_11_RRCS31.Q1-3-68-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2129-2-APEM2_CFC.xml.zip

Any ideas which I should pick? Or what the difference is between these?
[Moto G30] jan6:
just different updates, all the ones before S0RC or so, should be 11, all the RRCS ones are android 11 for sure, I'd pick the latest one of those, which would have the latest security patches
[Moto G30] jan6:
also, even for normal updates, I've only used LMSA to download the latest image, and then manually flashed it, I'm pretty sure LMSA will only download the latest version anyway, so unless you figure out how to manually override it, it won't downgrade
[Moto G30] airwave1999:
Thanks. Have managed to get the phone up and running with XT2129-2_CAPRIP_RETAPAC_SA_11_RRCS31.Q1-3-68-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2129-2-APEM-SAR_CFC.

The only issue I face now is that Google Pay no longer works.. Although my phone isn't rooted, the bootloader was unlocked during the process of going back to Android 11. Is there a way I can get Google Pay back whilst staying on Android 11?
[Moto G30] corpuscallosum:
I know this is an old thread, however I recently acquired a Moto G30 as a backup phone which I badly need and have quite a few issues with it especially with volume getting low to barely audible on its own. Nothing to do with the physical volume button as the volume slider is all the way up. I've rooted the phone so I'd like to try the downgrade to Android 11 and looking for feedback of how you're managing with your device. Probably moved on to a different one I'd say!

Thanks

Hello

I have searched but have not found a clear answer.

How would I go about locking it

I hold the end key and it locks it but not volume

Thanks in advance everyone :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venom037:
this has been adressed in a few posts already..... but ur volume buttons will keep working on the TP as long as ur screen is not blacked out. When u lock ur phone it takes a few seconds b4 ur screen goes into sleep mode (turns black like its turned off), at that point, ur volume buttons will not work. So in a one liner, wait till ur screen fully sleeps b4 ur volume buttons stops to function.

You could use sensor lock instead of the built in device lock. SensorLock works well and its free. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=422871
[General Topics] TheMystic:
As Louis Rossmann keeps pointing out, the devices we buy today are no longer fully owned by us. It has almost become like we only pay for purchasing the hardware, but pretty much everything after that isn't under our full control, including the decision to replace a component (if it is broken).

The software that drives the hardware requires a whole lot of permissions (many of which are unnecessary for core functions) to be granted, and the hardware would be useless if those permissions aren't granted. The user is completely unaware of this when buying the hardware. So the money he paid for the hardware would be completely useless if he doesn't agree to the things that the software forces him to agree, AFTER THE SALE/ PURCHASE!

And then on top of everything is the Privacy Policy! Alteast 50% (and I'm being extremely conservative here) of the features you would want from any app is locked behind a Privacy Policy that:

1. No one reads or understands

2. Most of these Privacy Policies are simple copy-paste from standard templates. The makers of these apps too have no idea (forget control) about them.

3. 'Data collected and shared with 3rd parties will be handled in accordance with their respective Privacy Policies' is a total rubbish statement.

Even the most basic apps such as the gallery, file manager, music player, video player, etc. are locked behind Privacy Policies, and the apps won't work if you don't agree to them. This is ridiculous. And more so because these are new 'agreements' that are presented to you 'post the purchase'.

This is like going to a car dealership, paying for a car in full and taking delivery of the car. Now when the user starts the car, he is presented with a legally binding agreement that he MUST ACCEPT in order to be able to drive the car. Was the user aware of this agreement BEFORE the purchase? The answer is NO!

GDPR passed by the EU is a welcome step in protecting user privacy, but is completely ineffective. All it does is to force OEMs or app developers to show a Privacy Policy message (that no one reads or understands), and then everything is the exact same as before.

Should data collection be stopped completely? But if not, should there be very strict regulations on what data can be collected? Should stock apps and software be allowed to collect data or have any sort of privacy policies, given that the customer paid to use the hardware out of the box, without having to agree to new contracts/ agreements he is completely unaware of at the time of purchase?
[General Topics] TheMystic:
One of the very 1st screens that you see when you setup a phone (such as a brand new phone or a factory reset phone) is the OEM Privacy Policy. This is an agreement you weren't aware of when you bought the new phone.

This is an agreement you MUST agree to use a product that you already paid for. There isn't a choice available here.

Agreements must be presented BEFORE a payment is required, not after!
[General Topics] TheMystic:
It is only a handful of companies that are the end users of data collected, such as Google, Facebook, and the OEM themselves. All the apps that collect data are essentially just a medium for these companies to collect user data. Most app developers themselves have no use for the data collected, except for passing them on to these companies in return for some payment.

Their declaration that 'Data is collected to improve the app or service provided' is mostly a lie.

Regulating what data is actually collected, and whether services such as those offered by Meta (formerly FACEBOOK) should even be allowed is something regulators must seriously look at.
[General Topics] wenyendev:
First, what do you mean by "GDPR has been effective"?

There are differences between

1. GDPR does not include all the aspects of privacy violation, for example, your specific case is not included in GDPR;

2. GDPR is not properly enforced, ie. your privacy is violated under GDPR, but you cannot use GDPR as a weapon for your defense.

If 1, you can do nothing about it. It's legislators' job.

If 2, you have to look into the definition of privacy violation and articles of relevant sanctions in GDPR.

For me, if you are targeted by personalized contents (based on your personal data), with or without your knowledge, and

have no way to opt out

, I believe, your privacy is violated, and the third parties should be sanctioned for that.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
GDPR, from what I know, is ONLY ABOUT OBTAINING USER CONSENT for collecting data about the user. Or atleast that is how the implementation has been.

Without user consent, data cannot be collected, which essentially results in the individual not being able to use the device, as that is how companies have ensured compliance.

This is like going to a car dealership, paying for a car in full and taking delivery of the car. Now when the user starts the car, he is presented with a legally binding agreement that he MUST ACCEPT in order to be able to drive the car. Was the user aware of this agreement BEFORE the purchase? The answer is NO!

This defeats the purpose of ensuring user privacy that one would expect from a regulation like the GDPR.

Has GDPR been formulated in a way that protects user privacy? It is safe to say NO! All that it has done is to present the user with a policy statement that must be accepted, and there is no choice that the user has in respect of being able to use the device without accepting those.

More importantly, as pointed out in #3, the data is being collected by hundreds and thousands of apps, which by themselves have no control or use for the same. And all data ends up with a handful of corporations who process them in ways that are not clear to the user.

For example, most smartphones now come with Meta Services pre-installed. What is this service doing? I don't see an option to opt-out of it and still be able to use the device. OEMs don't allow for such services to be uninstalled either, so user has to rely on 3rd party tools to have them removed, and the process almost always has a negative implication on warranty.

It is time regulators all over the world start working in implementing laws in genuine ways that prevent corporations from abusing user privacy.
[General Topics] wenyendev:
Then, that is not a question of consent, but of bowing your head or not.

Submit to my terms, and you will get this or that. Otherwise, you cannot use my apps, services.

It's like legalizing lynching, your privacy is violated, and the third parties remain unpunished, laws like GDPR are merely cosmetic.

At philosophical level, what we have discussed above could possibly (and humbly) be summarized in one sentence "which is to be master", from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass".

A relevant legal case in history was Liversidge vs Anderson during WWII.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fairweather:
Hello there! I've been dipping my toes into Android rooting recently and have hit a peculiar roadblock.

For starters, the hardware buttons do not boot into Recovery or Bootloader. In fact, all combinations except for Vol- with Power just boot straight to the OS. Vol- will just boot loop the power-on splash. I do have OEM Unlocking turned on and ADB as well, with interesting results.

[adb reboot bootloader] will just reboot the phone normally. [adb reboot fastboot] does bring up FastbootD, but [fastboot oem unlock] brings up an error stating [FAILED (remote: 'Unable to open fastboot HAL')], while [fastboot flashing unlock] goes unrecognized. [fastboot reboot fastboot] just returns to FastbootD. [fastboot reboot bootloader] does the same as the adb version. Both [adb reboot recovery] and [fastboot reboot recovery] do work, but options are missing. The only options are to reboot, factory reset, wipe cache, and power off. There's no option to enter fastboot, no option to update via adb or anything similar.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah strange. But not all options are available under the comm tab. You can do basic things like airplane, off, wifi, bluetooth. I guess for the others you would have to use the regular comm. It is just easier to get to this stuff with a tab.
