What do you mean by "port"?

TWRP is supported on multiple A/B devices such as the Google Pixel. However, TWRP does not support the compression necessary to replace the stock recovery in the boot image, so TWRP may only be used "live", where the TWRP image is booted via command, instead of being flashed to /boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelexine:
By porting I mean changing some files, like copying the kernel and other device specific files to a prebuilt TWRP boot image for a related device.

For example I was able to do that for my android 8 based device and it worked flawlessly, but my problem is that I don't know how to do that for a/b partitioned devices cause my device is not officially supported and i can't seem to find any unofficial version for my device, plus my phone's kernel source and device are not published on GitHub or anywhere.

But some devices specially some Mediatek and Unisoc based devices don't support live boot and so it's necessary two flash it to the boot partition.

Finally built twrp for this device after so many attempts, here is the file for those that owns this device too.

NOTE: This file is for KG5j variant not KG5k or any other variant

After flashing run fastboot reboot recovery, it will reboot directly to twrp recovery enter your lock screen password to decrypt data, then click on advanced install recovery ramdisk and select the twrp.img you downloaded or click on advanced then install current TWRP and let the recovery do the rest.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaguar_90:
hi there i have been trying to compile the twrp for my lg k61 it has a/b with no recovery. it has no fastboot and i can only flash it via bootrom mode.

i already tryied to run the compiled twrp in my phone but it reboots always to twrp no matter what i do, and even if i try to flash something it says all has errors, nulls, and the like.

so after read this post i was wondering if someone can take a look to my device trees (original and edited) and tell me what im doing wrong. maybe i already have a functional version but i dont know how to flash it in the right way, so... if someone can give a hand, i can open the door to all LG K series to have a functional twrp.

this is the dt: https://github.com/Jaguarfrr/android_device_lge_mdh40lm

I think your bootloader is just unlocked, and it shows you the advice that it cant check your device for corruption. thats normal, dont worry. is only a unlocked bootloader.

LsPatch is an xposed solution without having to root and lose knox. Very few modules are working and is not documented well.

Im trying to crowdsource a list of working xposed modules with lspatch.

Working Modules

- Galaxy MaxHz

- Undo

- NoStorageRestrict

- SAAX

- Disable Flag secure (compatible but isnt working with my testing, there's many variations of the app)

- Smap enhance - its an Module to mod Snapchat in various ways

- AllTrans- force translate anything in an App

- YuukiPS - Tool to Patch An Anime Game (€ensh!N |nnp∆¢t)

- Disable-FLAG _SECURE - remove Screenshot restriction

- Vendetta Manager - Module to Mod discord

- DarQ - Force dark mode on per app basis

- TwiFucker (not sure if it still works)

- Android Auto - XLauncher Unlocked

- xunlocked - Unlock more 3th party Android Auto apps

- Orange - This lets you specify the screen orientation on a per-app basis and even keep it in that orientation until you change it.

- ChatHeadEnabler - Lets you switch between Chat heads or Bubbles within Facebook Messenger. However, using their "MRVPatch Manager" is way more convenient.

- Messenger Pro - Lets you obtain even more Facebook features! (As of right now, though, there is a bug within LSPatch holding it back from working. But luckily, the developer uploaded an already patched version of the app so that you can get it working on your non-rooted device. It's just an outdated version of Facebook Messenger.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
can you also at least explain what exactly which module does?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] howtomen:
Which apps does "Disable-Flag_Secure" exactly work with? I've been trying to find one for a while., but they all keep crashing upon opening them (Netflix, Prime Video, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] howtomen:
What app did you use to test out "NoStorageRestrict"?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] howtomen:
I don't think "NoStorageRestrict" works. I've tried it on multiple devices, and nothing. And it makes sense. It's not only a system app but also a "Google" app, so that's a double-no-no since the app's Signatures won't line up. If you make it work though, let me know how you did it!

I also found a couple more LSPosed modules that work with LSPatch to help out this forum:

Orange - This lets you specify the screen orientation on a per-app basis and even keep it in that orientation until you change it.

ChatHeadEnabler - Lets you switch between Chat heads or Bubbles within Facebook Messenger. However, using their "MRVPatch Manager" is way more convenient.

Messenger Pro - Lets you obtain even more Facebook features! (As of right now, though, there is a bug within LSPatch holding it back from working. But luckily, the developer uploaded an already patched version of the app so that you can get it working on your non-rooted device. It's just an outdated version of Facebook Messenger.

Also, if you're unsure how to install LSPatched apps, here is a tutorial I made on my YouTube channel:

Post in thread 'Lspatch working modules' https://xdaforums.com/t/lspatch-working-modules.4564989/post-89085033
[Samsung Galaxy S23] soraxd:
update:

so I've realized there's a few "Disable-Flag_Secure"s around, I've tried the one in f-droid as well as the one in LSPosed repository.

I've tried with Shizuku running/not running. LSPatch open/closed in background. I've restarted since installing their apks. screenshots are still restricted in the apps I tested (Cashapp, Schwab, Discover). All block screenshots. (I assume all these apps use the native flag implementation so it'll work on all or none).

Which version of Disable-Flag_Secure are you guys using?

and in what Android versions?

I will continue my testing and report back when anything of note is found.

(I am on Android 14, Samsung One UI 6.0, S22 Ultra.)

[Touch HD General] Zepiii:
Hell yeah, S2U2 is cool, because it's as an iPhone, but it's laggy and it cost too much battery even HTC closed...

So, as i appreciate the way to unlock it, i found this program : http://www.throttlelauncher.com/downloads/files/ThrottleLock0.4.CAB

It's more than a simply unlocker, as you can create a pattern which look like a password, but you also can simply define as pattern the 3 downs buttons from left to right, and it's like S2U, without lag (and yeah without the iPhone trademark :p) !

Here are some screenshot : http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/87-throttle-lock-04

Enjoy it
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
I'd be interested in anyone's opinion on this.

I like S2U2, I don't find it drains my battery too much, I like the extra info it displays about next appointments and tasks etc.

Does this locking system show that kind of information too?
[Touch HD General] luckyuser:
Tried it,very nice and cool looking, but unfortunately it wil unlock itself by an incoming call.:(
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Ha ha, doesn't that make it kinda pointless? Many of us will want a lock so that when a call comes in, it doesn't accidentally unlock...

Does a text message unlock it to? Does turning it on unlock it? ;)
[Touch HD General] kokkie:
I only use S2A2 for the Full Screen caller Option and Trotllelock for a manual devicelock (added to my start up list).

@AndyCr15 : luckyuser means that sometimes Trotllelock unlock itself (Bug). Normally you must wipe with your finger from up to bottom to answer a call. I'll use only the device lock option. Not the answer unlock option. So i'll have the best options from both apps.
[Touch HD General] Zepiii:
Yean it's unlock when a call, but HTC got the protection as you have to put your finger on the virutal block and move it to the left to answer and move to the right to ignore... so it's not a problem, it's an advantage that it's unlocked automatically...

ofc not, but it is signaled by an icone
[Touch HD General] iosub:
Sorry,, But you forget the hardware buttons they are not locked.. so you can accidentaly push any of the hardware buttons...
[Touch HD General] luckyuser:
The only programm who can fix that problem to is PocketShield.

Tried this app also, but I had to often gesture problems by shaking the phone! The device didn't react and awake properly for normal use!
[Touch HD General] frustin:
i lock my phone by pressing and holding the "down reciever" icon. I thought that i could do that and this app would activate but it doesnt.
[Touch HD General] Zepiii:
It's simple, S2U 1.37 corrects the advantage that thortlelock had... let's go back to S2U2 1.37 :)

See you
[Touch HD General] david-v:
I use it too. Shaking does not work that good, so I only use it with finger slide. Works really good. The application is not free though, but €7 is not that much for lifetime upgrades and a lock application that does what it promises
[Touch HD General] Mavrick:
Let's be clear, the application does not unlock itself; it merely (like S2U2) allows you to answer or ignore the call. After the call is completed the phone remains locked.

I have used both and chose throttlelock over S2U2 because of the lack of battery drain, the fact that I can mute an incoming call and that the security on throttlelock is (mildly) better than on S2U2. The other thing to mention is that there are options within throttlelock to disable the 'hard keys' if you choose.

Personally, I will continue to use throttlelock (or an alternative like Pocketshield when it becomes fully HD compatible) until some of the issues with S2U2 are fixed. These are still apparent in the latest ver 1.37.

Just my opinion ;)

Mav.
[Touch HD General] kamilyo:
Pocket shield is the best. I love it's option to auto-unlock with light sensor, and in the dark I just slide my finger on the screen :) It's also great that it can disable the hardware buttons when locked so no more problem with incidental pressing them while taking the phone out of my pocket:) I am very happy with this program, esspecially since it has no battery-drain issue like s2u2. The only thing that bothers me is why the h*... htc did'nt implement something like that in TF3d?! ...that, and group sms solution... and a few other things... sorry for the of topic in the end,;)
[Touch HD General] david-v:
What is not fully compatible with the HD? if you mean the background customization, that is already fixed.
[Touch HD General] Mavrick:
My bad.

It wasn't the last time I checked. I'll take a look asap.

Thanks.

Mav.
[Touch HD General] aussiebum:
NEW version of S2U2 (1.40) avaliable now, has potential fix for battery-drain issue!

EDIT: Nevermindt
[Touch HD General] Mark Crouch:
If you don't mind paying, use PowerSMS from Trinket Software to do your group SMS'ing - see http://www.trinketsoftware.com/powersms for details ;)

We'll see....I used to use S2U2 on my Kaiser but haven't bothered putting on for the last couple of months due to excessive ROM flashing :D - on my Touch PRO, I found that "TouchLockPro" was a brilliant alternative to S2U2 as it allows you to take advantage of the capacitive touch functionality on the Touch Pro. Have a read here for all the details.

Just my $0.02 :D

Did you found TWRP for xperia 10 iv?

You have successfully rooted?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] fedcas:
Hi, I have your same problems :s finding TWRP and finding which boot file to patch for rooting... have you solved these two things?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] linccracker:
No twrp .

use unsin on boot_X-FLASH-ALL-5904.sin to get the boot img you need to patch with magisk.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] fedcas:
Ok, the doubt was about these 3 .sin files in the "boot" folder

View attachment 6031599

I then found hints about that in the boot_delivery.xml:

<CONFIGURATION NAME="COMMERCIAL_001A90E1">
<BOOT_CONFIG>
<FILE PATH="PDX225_XBootConfig_MiscTA.ta"/>
</BOOT_CONFIG>
<BOOT_IMAGES>
<FILE PATH="bootloader_X_BOOT_SM6375_LA2_0_1_T_109_X-FLASH-ALL-5904.sin"/>
</BOOT_IMAGES>

So yes, as you said the 5904 one seem the proper one. The other two versions are called "PRECOMMERCIAL_001A90E1" and "DEVELOPMENT" so not very promising.

The thing is... I keep getting an error when trying to patch the img file with magisk install procedure :s I've tried using unsin to extract the img from *5904.sin and then moving the file to the phone magisk gives me this error:

- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Copying image to cache
- Unpacking boot image
! Unsupported/Unknown image format
! Installation failed

So I tried without unsin, but using both winrar and 7zip to decompress the .sin (in both case I get an identical file with the same hash, but different from the unsin one).

Then again Magisk give me a different error:

- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing: 26.4 (26400)
- Processing tar file
-- Copying: bootloader.cms
-- Copying: bootloader.000
! Installation failed
! No boot image found
! Process error

any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] linccracker:
**EDIT**

Just seen you are trying sin files in boot folder ..

That's wrong .

You need to be using the boot .sin file in main parent folder.

Not home till tomorrow ,But will look into it then.

[XPERIA X1 General] randy_c:
has anyone experience any problem when using S2U2 on X1? I can press panel key or Ok key then it will take me to the panel/today screen without slide to unlock.

S2U2 screen sometimes display abnormal

Please?
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Same here. The Panelbutton as well as the Camera button still work in S2U2 lock mode. It doesn't concern me much, because it's essential that noone gets a phone call or music starts to play while the phone is in my pocket. If the panel-button is accidentally pressed nothing bad happens.

This sometimes occured when I set the "Display Mode" to DirectDraw. Now I use RawBuffer and haven't had this problem for 3 weeks now.

Let me ask you a question:

When in landscape-mode and the phone is locked with S2U2 the button to slide reacts very slow. In portrait-mode the button follows the finger very quickly. Is it the same with your phone?
