[General Questions and Answers] distancesprinter:
I am confused about inconsistences between Device Backup on two different Pixel phones:

On my old Pixel phone, the Backup app says the backup will use Google One storage, so I do not have it turned on.

On my new Pixel phone, the Backup app doesn't mention Google One. In fact, it explicitly states that the device backup will not count towards "Drive" storage.

I'm not sure the new Pixel phone is fully patched (just took it out of the box) so it's possible the software hasn't been updated to reflect the Google One service.

I have the following questions:

Does the device backup count towards a Google storage quota or not?

Is there a difference between Google One and Google Drive?

On both devices, the device backup states that the information is encrypted before being uploaded, but it is not clear whether the backup is inaccessible by Google (can Google decrypt the backup)?

The device backup states that it will backup: apps, app data, call history, contacts, device settings (including Wifi passwords) and SMS & MMS messages. How do I restore these things on the new phone if I back them up on the old phone first?

Can I selectively restore apps and app data for only a few apps? There are some apps that are device-specific (e.g. Syncthing) where I don't want to necessarily restore the settings and app data associated with that app, because my shared folders will be located in a different place on the new phone. I would rather set up from scratch and establish my new folder locations, then allow the files to sync through Syncthing.

Thanks for any answers you can provide to these questions.

I would also welcome links to resources that explain how this works, especially vis-à-vis the new Google One branding.

as the title asking? any??

i would prefer a software that don't need to install and put it in the start menu

like a "landscape switch", when run it--->landscape, run it again---->normal

I think he's more after a toggle switch rather than auto-rotate on g-sensor

My old Hermes used to have an option that you could assign a button to "rotate clockwise" but there's no such option for Touch HD - I looked.

In case you don't need it for something else you could remap the long keypress on the left softkey to 'rotate screen', that way you don't have go through the menu, just a thought.

Sounds like the version of TWRP trying to be booted isn't compatible with the firmware and/or partition layout currently on the phone; I noticed when I had to restore some old OxygenOS firmware a few days ago I had to also use an old TWRP build.

Could also be the fastboot binary is outdated; grab the latest one (v34?) from platform-tools from Google.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] perkymango:
Hey guys,

I'm back here after many years because I bought a Pixel 5 to mirror my screen to show my EcuTek gauges for my Infiniti Q50 on the infotainment display via Android Auto. I was very into Android modding back when I had the Nexus 5X, so I thought this would be an easy task and I was very wrong. So much has changed since then. (there's two firmwares now? lol)

I got the phone rooted on the latest AOSP image, but none of the Android Auto root apps seem to have too much of an effect. I can't downgrade AA because it appears baked into the AOSP Gapps.

What's the best setup to use for this? The phone can be on any version/ROM of Android and will not be connected to cellular/wifi/hotspot so it can't auto-update.

Thanks for the help!

Volume level is fine when I connect another set of earbuds (QCY T13) and the T18's are plenty loud when connected to another phone or PC. It's just this specfic phone+earbuds combo that has very low volume.

Things I've tried:

* Changing the region

* Disabling absolute volume. (This setting is nowhere to be found on my phone)

* Messing around with Bluetooth AVRCP, MAP and codec settings in the developer settings.

* Updating the earbuds.

Any ideas to why this is happening? I'm running MIUI 14 btw

so i set up an exchange email that required the lock on my phone.

but the lock wont let me uncheck the box to have it set

any fixes?

doesnt work. even with the server added again the box stays grayed out

EDIT

found a registry hack in the hklm/securities/policies that worked

but apparently after 24 hours or so it changes itself from 1 to 2 and reverts to wanting a password

guess i will find out

but if anyone knows that would be great
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dils:
I use an exchange server that requires a PIN, to disable it i set the reg key 00001023 to 1 which is located at HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies

Then go to Start>Settings>System>Lock and remove the lock.

Mine does not reset after 24 hours, but this is prob because the exchange server i connect to only enforces security policy on first connection. May be different for other exchange servers.

ok yeah thats what i changed

I did this and it worked. If your server updates everytime it might not work. Or if you delete the server the security setting may not go back to default automatically, so you will still need to change the registry key

PixelExperience for OnePlus Nord N200 5G [dre]

What is this?

PixelExperience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, boot animation)

Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential and useful features for the proper functioning of the device

Based on Android 13

Installation and info

See post #2

Known issues

SMS messages may not be received after a restart until "Use SIM" is toggled off/on in Settings

???

Whats working?

Everything else, probably

DON'T FLASH GAPPS, THEY'RE ALREADY INCLUDED

Download from PixelExperience website

​

Android OS version: 13

Security patch level: November 2023

Kernel source: https://github.com/PixelExperience-Devices/kernel_oneplus_sm4350

Device tree: https://github.com/PixelExperience-Devices/device_oneplus_dre

Source code: https://github.com/PixelExperience
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Make sure to update your device to the latest version of OxygenOS 12 (C.25 for DE2117 or C.23 for DE2118) BEFORE installing this ROM. Mismatched firmware can cause weird issues. You can also flash firmware manually by following these steps after installing PixelExperience Recovery.

How do I install this?

Installation is more or less the same as LineageOS. In short, if you're coming from stock:

- Update to the latest version of OxygenOS

- Unlock your bootloader

- Flash the dtbo, vbmeta, vendor_boot, and boot files in fastboot

- Reboot to recovery

- Sideload the copy-partitions zip

- Reboot to recovery again

- Wipe data

- Sideload the PixelExperience zip

- Reboot & enjoy

Detailed instructions

Does this work on the T-Mobile/Metro variants?

Yes. Keep in mind that the method to unlock the bootloader on carrier vatiants is different than on the unlocked variant. Once you unlock the bootloader, the rest of the installation procedure is the same.

Is this ROM stable enough for daily use?

I think it is. Check the known issues section to know what's not working before you install.

Does this ROM pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity out of the box?

Yes. Note that installing mods, such as Magisk, may trip SafetyNet/Play Integrity.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
Sadly, the only way to get this firmware version (at least for now) is by taking OTA while running stock.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] haunteddevil619:
I am using TMO Sim unlocked version and followed the following steps-

-updated to C23 firmware

-unlocked bootloader

-flash vendor, dtbo and boot

When I restart to recovery, I get into a weird loop where it reboots once and then gives a blank screen. Since I'm connected to PC, it gets into Qualcomm diagnostics mode-

View attachment 5942539

My only option is to apply MSM to Android 11, and update to C23 and retry, which results in the same issue. What is wrong here?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
I hope that you're flashing the vendor_boot partition, not vendor. In that case, I'm surprised that flashing those partitions would cause your phone to EDL - the worst that I'd expect is that you'd get kicked back to the bootloader. Complete shot in the dark, but you could try flashing a blank vbmeta image before you boot to recovery.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] haunteddevil619:
Was flashing vendor boot using this command-

fastboot flash vendor vendor_boot.img

I realized what was happending-

The boot.img was flashing to boot_a. On reboot to recovery, this failed, which automatically switched the boot slot to b. This is when it would reboot to diagnostics mode. Flashing recovery to slot b would result in endless bootloops.

Unfortunately, in frustration, I seemed to have made some bad changes that has hard-bricked my phone where even the MSM tool is failing with message "Check OCDT CDT file empty please redownload it".

Anyways, I'm giving up on this side project and will trade in the device for N300. Thanks for your time and help.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Ah, you should've used this command:

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

Sorry for your loss. I hope you have enjoy your N300.

Could this be installed over A12 or do I need to downgrade to A11 first? I was trying to install this again after updating my phone to DE2118_11.C.23 and got corrupted images.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] zm55:
I restore the phone using MSMTool, updated to DE2118_C.16 ROM, and then took the OTA to reach DE2118_C.23.

Got a stable phone at this point.

And yet, when I try to flash dtbo, vendor_boot and boot.img, it complained the current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot.

Before I take the route to reflash using MSMTool again, any clues to what I could be missing here? As I asked earlier, do I need to downgrade the OS (though if I remember correctly, it was only for LOS19, and this is based on LOS20)

And any way I can avoid the reflashing using MSMTool at this stage?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Yeah, this is supposed to be installed over A12, not A11.

After booting directly to recovery from the bootloader? That could be because of a firmware mismatch, since DE2118_C.23 was only released yesterday and this ROM was made to be flashed over DE2117_11_C.23 or DE2118_11_C.21. I could extract the correct firmware from my phone or you could wait for me to update this ROM to support the latest firmware.

If you get the stock dtbo, vendor_boot, and boot images from DE2118_C.23 and flash them through fastboot, it should just work. You can get them by downloading the full DE2118_11_C.18 OTA, extracting the payload.bin with a payload dumper like this one or this one, downloading the incremental DE2118_11_C.23 update, and patching those images using this specific payload dumper. Or you could just ask me to do all that for you.

Or, you could use MSMTool.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Karitoriki:
Why would you say this ROM requires C23 in post #2 and not mention that it needs C21 on the T-Mobile version? I just wasted hours of my life downloading and trying to install this stuff only to need to MSM again just so I can use the phone in time for tomorrow.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] zm55:
Thanks for the detailed help here.

I was able to run the payload_dumper in the diff mode but it seems there are no boot, drbo or vendor_boot in the new patch.

I got system, system_ext and product partitions and then an error - Unsupported type = 9.

Here is a link to DE2118_C23 if you want to try it-

https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/c4bf9f20cdf10ffe9601ca37649d48d98da2c7f5.zip

Regarding MSMTool, I am more comfortable with linux than windows so running payload_dumper and flashing images is easier than that big blob of windows exe. I would still be curious how can I use MSMTool with OTA files, when it is absolute necessary.

Thanks again for all the great work - both with PE13 and MSMTool and being patient with all these questions we throw you way. Really appreciate that.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] zm55:
I looked at this bug and found that the payload_dumper has a limitation wrt incremental updates.

There is an ugly hack available here that worked for me finally and I was able to generate the images for C.23 payload.bin.

I tried flashing dtbo, vendor_boot, and boot images but still couldn't revive the phone.

On second thoughts, I wonder if these images should be coming from PE13 build and not the stock OTA - for one, I will completely miss on the PE recovery if I use these images.

In any case, I think I would need some guidance from you to move forward here.

One other thought -

I originally had PE working with DE2118_11_C18 firmware on the N200 except for network issues with verizon sim. I was looking for firmware update to DE2118_11_C.22+ and was told that the only way to get the firmware upgrade would be to flash back to stock and take an OTA update from there. And then install PE13 again.

Now that I have all the img files from the DE2118_11_C.23 firmware, could I just update the firmware on the device based on these instructions and avoid all those steps?

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
- C23 is the unlocked variant and that's the variant I assumed most people were on. It's also the firmware this ROM was built on top of.

- That post was written in the beginning of June, before OnePlus released C24 for the unlocked variant and C23 for the T-Mo variant. If you updated to the latest firmware at the time, you'd be on C23/C21, so mentioning the version number wouldn't really matter. But hey, next time, I'll mention what firmware you need if you have a T-Mo variant.

Sorry that you wasted your time, I guess? In my opinion, it's best not to flash ROMs if you know you need a working phone the next day, just in case something goes wrong. 🤷‍♂️

You should follow the same payload dumper method to get all the img files from DE2118_11_C.21 instead. (It's the equivalent of DE2117_11_C.23, don't think too hard about it.) After that, you can use those instructions to flash the firmware. Then all you have to do is flash the dtbo/vendor_boot/boot images from PixelExperience and PE Recovery should boot. Hopefully.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Karitoriki:
I have no issue messing with custom software on my phone even if I need it the next day because I'm confident in my ability to know what I'm doing so that in the event something goes wrong, like with this, I'm able to get it back into a working, albeit vanilla, state.

My issue is that because it wasn't noted that the T-Mobile variant needs to be on C.21, which is no longer downloadable through either Oxygen Updater or any official channels, and finding firmware for the N200 is almost outright impossible through search engines due to the phone not being very popular, I ended up wasting several hours getting everything downloaded and flashed only to find out it was the wrong firmware.

NB: I have since re-converted my DE2118 back into a DE2117, so this issue is no longer high priority for me.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Yeah I get that it's frustrating, and firmware is much harder than it should be to get. Like I said, I'll mention which firmware is needed for both variants next time. I might also embed the correct firmware into future builds, at least to make updates easier.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] zm55:
No dice on this end. Phone is still FUBAR-ed.

I will wait for you to release the next version of PE13 based on the DE2118_11_C.23 firmware that I could install from scratch.

Thanks for pointing to the github link for the firmware updates for phone.

This will be quite handy in the future as a repo of the firmware blobs.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Sure. Expect a release late next week.
