What gets me in the invasive nature of animations.

Every freaking thing has to be animated.

Do we all have the attention span of a 3 year-old now?

My latest phone (stock, unlocked) Moto G Power had animated text filling the StatusBar when you switched to less than full screen.

I turned off the animation on that but it still insists on fading in.

This is how it looks in Nothing phone (see attachment). While the new Quick Settings is a new design after a long time, I wish they made the sizes customisable.

I also wish that there is an end to this duopoly in smartphone OS. Microsoft unfortunately ended their Windows Phone OS. Not sure where Harmony OS stands. But there must be 1 or more alternatives to Android and iOS.

The heavily privacy oriented Black Phone failed. Shows people don't really care about the amount of data being collected, and how the same would be used against them going forward. While lack of awareness is understandable, it is unfortunate that a majority of people who are aware of this just brush it aside as 'tinfoil hat' category.

I hadn't really noticed, but my devices are all on Oreo or Q (Quik?) I see no need to upgrade an OS every 18 months. Routine stuff like security fixes and bug fixes, yeah, but requiring me to install a completely new OS that often is insane.

My new phone is going to be shipped with Pie. Pie does what I need it to. I may be ae to update it to Q just for consistency, if not, no loss. It's an RFinder B1+, based on a MediaTek chipset. It's also the only device I've found that can be rooted but has no discussion on here.

Pie is reasonably secure unless you do stupid things; no upgrade or updates needed. I prefer Pie over 10; easier to troubleshoot and package disable.

Hi,

I'm using crdroid 6.13 on a Moto G5 Plus (potter). I live in Brazil, here we have to enter a code for each carrier (we have 3, Claro, Vivo and Tim). I wonder if anyone knows of a way to insert this code automatically at every call?

Example:

In my contacts I have Maria's phone number (11) 987654698 - (011) is the area code. I need to enter code 41 if using Tim or code 21 if using Claro (I have two sim cards), the number to be dialed would be 0-41-987654698 if using Sim 1 or 0-21-987654698 if using Sim 2.

I consider myself an advanced user, edit system configuration files won't be a problem.

Tks,

Demiank

Hey guys. After all the discussion about battery drain while idle, i was curious if Greenify actually helps with battery drain, anymore, or if Google had improved the OS efficiency enough that this app was no longer necessary. I tracked my battery use overnight, and it's close to 0.5% per hour, so about what people were reporting in the battery use thread (with Greenify installed and active). Thanks much!
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
A 0.5%/hr idle drain is very acceptable, in my opinion. Also, in my opinion, apps like Greenify haven't been needed in a long time. In fact, they can sometimes cause more harm than good (I recall at least 2 people with either a Pixel 6 or 7 who were having problems that were caused by Greenify.)

If you have an app that likes to use more resources than it should in the background, I would recommend just battery restricting it.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
Great! That aligns well with my own thoughts. I got burned once by one of those "battery saver" apps that was really a virus. I'll take Greenify off and see what i get.
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
Agree with a lot of the above. Android and certain devs really have the battery thing locked in, especially compared to 4-5 years ago. I use to have 3ish apps like Greenify running back in the day but there's not much value now from my experience.

Even straight android out of the box on the 6a is pretty damn good for battery longevity - almost any rom really is great now. Personally running the velocity rom + mvk combo and life is good lol.

Nope, just an update delay with the official channel.

There's two things that put something in recovery.

BCB and misc.

The misc partition can use the characters right at the start of the partiton "reboot-recovery".

Normally recovery erases that again.

The BCB is more squirrely. I don't know where they park that on my own device, let alone yours.

In any case, check the misc partition.

This version is outdated, please get the latest version here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459830

Hi,

In light of the fastboot flash method I was thinking of a way to be able to keep my current setup as a backup while i experiment with other images. For that I wrote a script that uses adb to dump the data for the boot, recovery, system and data partitions.

When this script is ran, it will dump these images in your current dir.

Boot into recovery mode (home+power) to use.

Requires RC30 v1.2 recovery.img - due to a bug the RC8 v1.2 there is no adb shell. (this script needs adb shell as root + busybox in recovery mode to work).

PLEASE NOTE: I haven't actually flashed the dumps back yet, I will be trying that tomorrow. Brave souls willing to test that do so at their own risk!

Bug reports or own improvements welcome.

After that everything seemed to work properly. Haven't tried flashing it back, however.

[G1 Android Development] SplasPood:

I can't wait to see who has the biggest balls and will try to flash one back.

Thanks, I bet the OTA RC30s will be rerooted pretty soon at thus rate.

This is a great contribution.

Today I checked. The app captures blocked numbers through the native app, but there is no backup/restore option. There are no options at all.

The investigation and search for a solution is still ongoing.

edit.

It's OK. When you click on the (+), a menu appears with the ability to export the MyBlocked-YYYY-MM-DD.json file.

After importing the file on another device, the application can be safely deleted. The list of blocked numbers remains available to the phone's native app.

Hello colleagues and friends

I am thinking about buying this phone but before that I would like to ask if anyone has information about the work on Costum rom for this device?
[Red Magic 8 pro] jfsat:
I've started reading about how to build Lineage OS for a new phone. I've never done that before, so don't hold your breath. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I'll fail. I've ordered my phone almost a week ago, but it hasn't shipped yet. Custom ROMs generally only happen for popular phones, so while I hope developers will join in here, I'm not super optimistic.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ugene1980:
No

And even if there was it would be very very very buggy

As Kernel sources are not released
[Red Magic 8 pro] StoneIsland:
maybe we are writing petitions to nubi with a request to make the sources for this model public
[Red Magic 8 pro] jfsat:
Lol! I went to help.redmagic.gg and opened a chat asking for the kernel source code. They asked me to be more specific, so I said that in order to build Lineage OS (and other ROMs thereafter) I would need the kernel source code for the Redmagic 8 pro. They said they have escalated my request, and I should watch my email. I give this a 0.05% chance of success.
[Red Magic 8 pro] fejerm:
Customer support is garbage. I am using the OS set to Hungarian. The language is not officially supported so most things are in English (which is ok for meg), except for 1 thing. The update page is displayed in Spanish for some weird reason. I reported this 3 years ago.

I'd recommend going for Paranoid Android (PA) as it's CAF (basically Qualcomm patches to AOSP). It also was built for Asus Zenfone 9 (8+ Gen 1), so similar steps for RM8 Pro could probably be followed. Maybe you can ask someone from PA team (or the Zenfone 9 maintainer) for help.

Also asked support for kernel source code, but most likely we could use one from Qualcomm (but it's not public, unfortunately, so we need to register there somehow)

[Red Magic 8 pro] skycrow67:
What about the kernel source from s23 series ?
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
There are also OnePlus 11 kernel sources available, but they all might have different device trees (same GPIOs are used differently). In worst case scenario one could fry the phone.

AFAIK we could extract GPIO information from boot.img, but I'd wait for official source code to be released. They published 7s Pro sources, so there is a high chance that 8 Pro will be published as well (GPLv2 obliges them to do so, but who cares)
[Red Magic 8 pro] jfsat:
Looks like the 7s Pro was released on July 11th, and the kernel source code was released on October 27th? So a 3.5 month gap maybe. The 8 Pro was released the last week of last year, right? So optimistically we're talking about mid-April?

I guess we are not getting kernel source code unless zte wants to release it somewhere in the future. Their support refuses to publish it (not that they have sources, but still), seems that this comes from their management.

BTW, there's a kernel for NX711J (Nubia Z50) here, maybe it could be used.

[OnePlus 9] TheNewHEROBRINE:
You can dump your boot.img using the readback feature of the MSM Tool.
[OnePlus 9] Tim0xFF:
This is the method I usually use. It takes a little bit to perform the whole dump but I always do it cuz it could certainly be useful someday
[OnePlus 9] shadabkiani:
Another Method: You can temporarily boot this TWRP (Unofficial) for Android 12/13 by the command:

fastboot boot <your_recovery.img>

Then you can go to Terminal in TWRP (or you can also use adb shell from PC) and run either command (depending on your active slot):

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot.img

OR

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot.img

This will dump the boot.img in your internal storage.
[OnePlus 9] Need4Sneed:
This is the method I used. Thanks for suggesting it, as I always forget about pulling boot.img (or other partitions) using dd via adb shell while in TWRP.
