Hi,

I am trying to build NetGuard app in Android Studio.

I have obtained the source code from here: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard

The errors I see are:

Exception is:

org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

at org.gradle.groovy.scripts.internal.DefaultScriptRunnerFactory$ScriptRunnerImpl.run(DefaultScriptRunnerFactory.java:93)

at org.gradle.internal.operations.DefaultBuildOperationRunner$1.execute(DefaultBuildOperationRunner.java:29)

at org.gradle.internal.operations.DefaultBuildOperationRunner$1.execute(DefaultBuildOperationRunner.java:26)

I searched for this problem and one of the solutions was to comment out "include ':app'" in settings.gradle file.

Can anyone please guide on how to go about this?

I have a SIM card that has 5g signal on an OnePlus 11r but not on Moto edge 30 ultra. I tried both retcn and reteu images, no difference. So I had to pay bigger price for better SIM cards.

As above, can you restore root backup and settings with Swiftbackup? It works great for normal applications but none of my root mods show. Is it possible to back them up to just be restored like a normal app? If not is there another app I could use specifically for root apps? Thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ffuser1:
if you mean magisk modules or lsposed modules, there is no backup program afaik
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
SwiftBackup restores only the apps, not the settings and our mods.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Yeah that's what I was hoping for. I basically can't backup anything to do with root which is a shame as those things take the longest to restore and set up. Thanks for the replies

I just want simple DNS ad blocking without having to install an app on my Android phone. I tried the free DNS from ControlD and I noticed when using my phone several times a day I get a notification that Internet isn't available because "Private DNS cannote be accessed." I figured it may be unreliability at ControlD so swithced the DNS over to AdGuard's. Get the same error three or four times a day. When it happens, phone switches to cell data for about 30 seconds then goes back to wifi and all is fine.

I'm using their DNS just on my phone, not on my home wifi router. Although that my be kind of cool to do as any guest connecting to my wifi wouldn't have ads. But I prefer to leave the router using the ISP's DNS.
[General Questions and Answers] denzel09:
We and many others are in the same boat. I had this on different phones, with android 12 and 13.

Tried everything. Probably the problem is my Asus router+aimesh configuration with wifi 6. I tried everything in the router but nothing has fixed the problem.

Hard to understand if the problem is the router chip or a bug not fixed in last android versions or a bug in many dns providers.

Web is FULL of this PrivateDNS bug/problem but no one solution atm.

:cry:
[General Questions and Answers] jazee:
I've not had problems using dns.adguard.com for the past month. I did discover you need to turn private DNS off when using wifi on an airplane.
[General Questions and Answers] denzel09:
Yes, with that free public adguard dns i have no issue. Someone with samsung phone for example instead had it and fixed it with the public adguard family dns.

With personal adguard payed dns i have still always that "connection problem". Same problem also with NextDNS. Tried everything but nothing managed to solve this problem.

Same connection problem with ControlD. So weird...

It's really hard to understand what is THE really problem.

Hello, I own a new P50 Pro global edition, EMUI 12, I have problems with the FB Messenger app:

- square bubbles,

- the chat doesn't close when it's over another app and I press the BACK button..

- sometimes the chats remain UNREAD even though I join the conversation multiple times or I press "Mark as read"...

So, is it worth to try to change it to China version? Any tutorial?

Or should I refund it?

I succeded to install YouTube (through GBox) and others apps that I need.. but the Messenger app is crazy..

Does anyone have any method to install Playstore so I can install a good version of Messenger or does anyone have any tutorial to install China version? HarmonyOS 3?
[Huawei P50 Pro] kolesaev:
You can pay some people to convert JAD-LX9 to JAD-LA00, then you will be able to update to latest HarmonyOS and install Google Services using some instructions from XDA

[Sony Xperia 1 III] bentree:
Really stupid question here folks.

I am trying to flash the modem.img file from a zenphone 8 device.

Now I can flash the factory modem.img via fastboot but not the zenphone 8 modem.img. I get an error saying that Flashing not allowed for modem partition. Any tips or advice?

Does somebody know a way to convert the file to a sin file and flash it via newflasher?

Cheers, Bentree.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Santa Claus 228:
Use fastbootd instead of plain fastboot.

Also:

You shold flash both modem_a and modem_b partitions.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cscomic:
For NTT version, you cannot flash modem in neither fastboot mode nor fastbootd mode.

Till now I only success flash in twrp mode.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
NTT?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cscomic:
Yes, some carrier lock partitions, such as NTT Docomo.

If you bought SO-51B, flash modem partition will success in both fastboot and fastbootd mode, but when you boot to system and check files in path /vendor/firmware_mnt/image, you will find it doesn't take effort.

And for flash mode, you will receive the cms key error.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Santa Claus 228:
Is this still true if the bootloader has been unlocked?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cscomic:
yes
[Sony Xperia 1 III] bobbyamarthaa:
can u tell me how to flash modem.img with twrp?

my device is NTT with Unlocked Bootloader btw,

using custom roms, and using vendor from another type (not NTT but some device)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] cscomic:
1. download japan open version stock firmware, by using XperiFirm, extact ftf, and then extract boot, dtbo, vbmeta, vendor_boot, modem and some other partition you want to flash, using unsin tool extract them to img type from sin file.

2.download Lineage OS Rom

3. DO NOT FLASH NOW, edit lineage zip file, delete img files before, and put your own img here into the zip file,

4.edit update-binary file in zip file, add your own img file to flash files range

5. boot into fastboot mode, flash boot, dtbo, vbmeta, vendor_boot from lineage os, reboot into twrp

6. under twrp, adb sideload your zip file

if no error, you will see it when you reboot

but from Xperia 1, sony changes, modem img contains all version of cell phone, your cannot convert NTT version to other version by just flash modem, you have to write TA partition by using setool

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
I'm a bit confused.

I just purchased an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro 256GB from Amazon -- Amazon is seller, NOT 3rd party seller with Amazon Fulfilment. I'm trying to root it now. I've been able to unlock the bootloader already. So I'm attempting to download the latest factory image but I'm quite confused as to which one to download. My current build number is TD1A.220804.009.A2. The A2 suffix seems to indicate that this build that came on this phone is for Telstra (AU) Australian market. My question is why is it on the unlocked model that Amazon USA is selling? But then there's no US image except for T-Mobile/Google Fi. Should I download the Global image or stick with the Telstra AU image?

Very confused.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I think all 3 are essentially the same; the only differences are special modifications to the radio for specific carrier (Telstra, Fi, T-Mobile) signals. I imagine, for your purposes, the A2 would be fine.

You might want to wait a couple of days as Google will release a new security firmware update in the next few days...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
Thanks for the suggestion. May I ask what build you're on? And what country you're in?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
No problem!

I'm in the US, on the Verizon network; that's how I learned since I asked the same thing about the difference between the verizon firmware update and the global one -- that it's basically the same other than special considerations to a specific network. The build I'm in is the Feb image TQ1A.230205.002.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Get on Google's website, get a US Verizon image, and flash it. Done. No issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I believe the OP is on Telstra (or at least his device has its firmware version), the last Verizon image was in November -- so that is very outdated -- and it might do OP best to wait until March's images are released as it will in a couple of days...

But, if anything, flashing a Global image probably wouldn't do any harm even if OP decided to flash that one either...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
I guess my confusion stems from getting a Pixel 7 Pro from US Amazon that has a Telstra AU image preloaded. I'm in CA and my carrier is Xfinity -- which uses Verizon as their backbone. I'm not sure if I can just flash any of these builds on my Pixel 7 pro. Are their hardware differences between the models that are sent around the world? Can I flash the global build onto my Pixel 7 Pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cmh714:
So I think you "should" be fine but maybe someone else has a better answer for ya....however, if you can d/l an image just get the standard non-carrier version. I have been on Verizon forever and never use their image. Sometimes I will pull the radio out from it and see if that works better, but usually it does not as best as I can tell.

Also, maybe try this for your version answer...in Settings go to About Phone and then Regulatory Labels. There you will see the Model number for your particular P7P. Do a Google search on that and see what you find and post here to see if anyone can assist further.....mine is GE2AE as an example and I purchased direct from Google in California. Your CA maybe Canada :)

GL!!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
Thanks. Mine is also GE2AE. I'm in California. 😊

It's got regulatory approval for USA, Canada, EU, UK, AU/NZ, and JP. 🤣

So it sounds like I should be able to flash the generic Global build then.

13.0.0 (TQ1A.230205.002, Feb 2023)

There actually is a variant specifically for Verizon and Verizon MVNOs -- of which Xfinity is one.

13.0.0 (TD1A.221105.003, Nov 2022, Verizon, Verizon MVNOs)

But that Verizon variant is Nov 2022. I'll try the latest Global version I guess once March 2023 update comes out in a few days

edit: It still seems exceptionally odd to me that the P7P that Amazon is shipping from their USA warehouses came with an .A2 suffix variant which indicates it's meant for Telstra -- a big carrier in Australia.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cmh714:
Like I said, I dont use the Verizon version, I have always used the standard version. Also as I mentioned, usually the Verizon radio file is differnet, so I have tried flashing that, but never see any real gain. YMMV.

Also, since the March update will be this week, you may as well wait a few days.....IMHO. GL!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TonikJDK:
Use whatever version is the most recent. If there isn't a Feb Verizon version that means the Verizon specific network changes have been merged into the main branch.

Happens all the time, there will be separate versions now and then until they get it all merged into one. It has always been that way for the Pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
A2 is what I've been using on unlocked same phone from Google play.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
Just a heads up, but the global image works on every carrier in the United States. Just stick with the global builds so that some carrier bloatware isn't pulled in during your re-imaging.

So, although there are separate T-Mobile and Verizon factory images - you do not need to use them as the radio images in all of the US builds (and the global build) have the same available bands. The bands that are used are dictated by your SIM or eSIM. This information was provided to me when I had asked a Google rep why there was a T-Mobile factory image (as at one point, there hadn't been separate T-Mobile builds in the past).

Regardless, I have tested this as I have a pSIM (T-Mobile) and an eSIM (Verizon). I only use the global builds and get full network speeds and can connect to the UC and UW towers with both services - no issues whatsoever.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
I'm on Verizon. I noticed the best battery life on November. I suspected I may have been because it's the only month since the p7p released that had a VZW-specific release file. I even asked if anyone else could confirm that the differences in radio files between the VZW update and the global could be the reason why many, many people noticed the best battery life on the November update. I asked multiple times to people noting the best battery life during November if they happened to be VZW customers who had chosen this update file. I never have heard an answer or discussion, so I'll ask here again since the topic of discussion is now in the foreground.

Could all the idle drain issues many people discovered since nothing that November update as the best all be VZW users who are now suffering from un-optimized, global radio.imgs in the update . zip? Are past radio files compatible with newer versions? For example, if tomorrow there is no VZW-specific update . zip file could I replace the march radio.img in the .zip with the VZW radio.img from November and then flash_all.bat that modified update .zip to be able to enjoy the optimized VZW radio? What other files are specific to VZW?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Just an FYI, I got an A2 Pixel from Amazon also. It sounds like it's safe to use the global image to root, correct?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
For the final time,

YES

, it is safe to use the global image even if you have an Australian Telstra firmware version on your device even though it was bought from Amazon US...please be finally reassured that it won't break anything and/or be of any issue...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
🤣Better to be safe, asking questions thrice, than to end up with a bricked paper weight. 😁

Thanks for your data point.

Thanks for your feedback.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
Thanks for chiming in with your A2 build from Amazon. At least now I know I'm not the only one getting an A2 build from Amazon USA.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lakino:
I'm starting to getting antsy waiting. 😁The previous 3 months, they've released an update by the 6th or earlier, but nothing yet on Google site. Come on Google! Release the March 23 update already! 😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I feel you! 😆 This is rather unusual (although it has happened from time to time)...

many in other threads are voicing how anxious they are in waiting too... Google usually aims for the 5th, unless the 5th lands on the weekend (as it was in this case), then it usually aims for the Monday after. What's really crazy is the fact that Samsung has released their March update before Google; Samsung in the past would release months, close to year after Google's update!

We're all 🤞🤞🤞

Hi guys, im very new to this and im pretty sure im stuck bad.

So i tried to wipe my phone before and now its stuck in download mode. When i try to flash twrp with Odin it says failed. i get RQT_CLOSE !! error. i cant remove oem lock because i cant boot to the OS as the phone is stuck. is there anything i can do to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] szucsy92:
Hello! Maybe flash stock rom with Odin help! If not work, try to flash twrp with ADB PlatformTools! Download it and un-zip to your PC C:/ (root folder) .

Download your twrp recovery and rename it to "twrp.img" and put it to the PlatformTools folder. Connect the phone to the computer. Open a cmd window from the PlatformTools folder with press Shift+right mouse click on space and write the command lines.

adb devices (enter)

adb reboot bootloader (enter)

fastboot devices (enter)

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (enter)

Maybe it help.

How do you like the lens protector? I've tried a two well-rated ones (a non name and a real brand - Spigen?) in the past. They both created flairs and haze-type effects for me. I've gone without and been ok so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xwonic:
The lens protector fit perfectly the ESR case. but if i want to use it on the Spigen case i have to remove it cause it doesn't fit being circular holes.

I also bought these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004001083566.html but i havent place them yet and they offer less protection.

About the flares, and i know what you are talking about, specially at night that lights seem like stripes, you cant clean the lens with your fingers even if you can't see with naked eye that you think they are clean.

Use a microfiber cloth (cloth for eyeglasses works), even flares happens on the original lens without the protection.

The only issue i'm having and it's one that i think im going to take care soon by applying those other film lens i bought, it's the focus sensor, i think it takes longer to focus with amFilm.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
I would suggest the newer ESR halolock ring 360, ESR/Spigen camera lens protector and ESR double ring instead.

ESR halolock ring 360- strongest magnetic attachment tested so far including magsafe cases (also self aligning).

ESR camera lens protector- high quality glass and fits most all cases including tight Spigen ones. Another option might be the Spigen camera lens protector.

ESR double ring- allows portrait stand, landscape stand, hold phone comfortably in numerous ways/angles, and extremely strong magnetic connection so it won't fall off.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xwonic:
ESR Halolock ring 360 doesn't work with ESR Kickstand case, doesn't have enough space for it,
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
I had the same issue so got a different case instead because even with the partial ring, magsafe power bank 10000mah was not possible.

Nexus 7 2013 flo

I was following the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/flox/install

until it got to the point where you repartition , I thought the process was complete and disconnected , unfortunately this corrupted the tablet

fortunately I have the backups modemst1.img , modemst2.img and persist.img

I just need to know how to restore from these backup images

other instructions i've found on the matter have been vague and not resolved it

trying to flash or perfrom certain commands brings up this error:

error: device unauthorized.

This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set

Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

the kill-server command does not help . I have the 3 backup images on the internal SD card and backed up on my PC
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Apolytonentite:
for anyone interested i figured out how to use the img backups , just by reversing the command that made them

so

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img

becomes

dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

I completed repartition and install Lineage , has brought the tablet back from the dead however now the gyro stopped working , seems to be common issue
