Well it worked and it broke again... Back to square one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cyanGalaxy:
Your infos are kinda vague.

Did you modify your phone and it got triggered by user-action, or did it hit the fan by itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fzoli469:
I think it was a suicide attempt, I never flashed before, only major thing was just a battery change in a samsung service last summer. It's weird, because since last time it turned on again, but seems like the wifi didn't want to communicate, plus as I look back, sometimes it restarted when I touched the wifi or some random setting. Somewhere else I read that it could be a motherboard failure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Biteytmods69:
This was happening to me too before my phone just started bootlooping to recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fzoli469:
Well it's been a few months, so a little update: it still reboots sometimes all out of nowhere, but now I have a different problem: tried to log into a mcdonalds app and it says it detects a security issue. Not that i'll cry over it, but definitely interesting. Anyway, I really think this is some sort of hardware issue related to wifi, because every time it started rebooting, about one out of two times i was turning the wifi on or off. Also sometimes the wifi just wasn't available or working, strengthening my thought. As I read on other threads, this is probably some manufacturing/serial issue, that just happens to come forth after all these years. Probably the last time I bought a Samsung...

[General Questions and Answers] ManuTouch:
I had my phone running great with Touch Flo 2d (Manila 2d), even put that customizing program on it and changed themes with it. I didn't like the clock in a particular theme I picked, so I was trying to install a clock from the Manila 2d skins thread, it was called Glass Clock by Aladdin or something like that.

I did NOT turn of TouchFlo in the Today Screen Items when I installed the clock. Once the clock was installed, I turned TouchFlo off and back on again, but it just won't start. It tells me to "tap here to launch touch flo" then it says that it's launching, but then it just goes back to "tap here to lauch" again.

What do I do now? I tried unistalling that damn clock, but it doesn't show up in add/remove programs. I tried reinstalling it, at which point it told me that it would unistall the first version first, but all that failed, it couldn't unistall the first version and as a result to whole install failed.

Any idea on how I can fix this? I am using version 19.
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
reinstall again then try unistalling
[General Questions and Answers] ManuTouch:
I got it working again. I used the M2d Customizer to restore the settings of the theme I had installed. After that M2d started again but the clock of that theme was messed up. So I turned the clock off using M2d, then turned it back on, and now everything works fine again.

[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] captainjarvis:
Phone specs: SM-J600G, unlocked and non vendor specific when bought.

I have successfully installed twrp, but have clobbered the stock rom trying to install LineageOS. I thought I had backed it up but it turns out I clobbered that too.

I can boot into twrp (3.3.1-0) but when I try to install LineageOS, the roms I tried fail with ERROR: 7. The last one I tried was lineage-17.1-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip.

Edit: I rooted the phone with Magisk, which as far as I can tell was successful.

Can anyone help or know of a rom that will work?

In the meantime, can anyone answer a few questions?

- does the j6lte mean the rom is for all J600 variants?

- ditto for the 'X' in J006X

- What do the terms Collection/Combination/Full mean?

I have a lot to learn, but right now I am spinning my wheels!

Edit: I just saw mention of samfirm & frija and am going to see if I can find a stock rom and at least get the phone booting into stock android again.
[Motorola Edge Accessories] rkousbroek:
Dear community,

I'm interested in buying USB-C- to HDMI, but wondering if I best can buy the official Motorola ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI or an alternative branche.

As one of the disadvantages is, that you can't charge at the same time when the ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI adapter is plugged in.

I found for instance DINTO USB-C HUB 3x USB to and 4K HDMI adapter, but is that one compatible and with this one I can actually charge and use the USB-C to HMDI at the same time?

It might look to good to be truth? What do you think? I already asked the seller, but they just say, try it, you can always send it back, but I want to avoid that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YAMANBINOKYO:
Hello great people to all my friends and developers at XDA I need to ask you about two big topics today and very important

The first is that we all know that there are a lot of companies that add application ads, such as GoogleAds, Unityads...) and a lot of the question is how can I remove the ads SDK for any applications, since I have root on my device and I can access the APK files, how can I remove the ads remove it from apps.

I used to rely later on applications such as Lucky Patcher to block Google ads, but now the situation has extended to different companies, and it has become difficult to block ads completely, so please advise me haw i can do it.

The second topic, in your opinion, is the easiest way to understand and learn the language of the flutter and Dart.

[Security Discussion] cablop:
I want to clarify, i already saw many threads mentioning how you can protect your data with an unlocked bootloader, so no need to go deep into that.

But it also seems to me, many people just avoid the other issues, like an attacker being able to sideload malware in your device.

How to mitigate those other risks?
[Security Discussion] WoKoschekk:
Sideloading malware requires physically access to your device. You have to reboot into bootloader mode and flashing e.g. a patched system.img and then reboot into system again. To avoid this: Never leave your device unattended.
[Security Discussion] cablop:
I am fully aware of that. But there are time you leave it unattended, you can't carry a bag with all your belongings with you to every place you must be in, e.g., bathroom, beach, gym, etc.

So, if you leave it unattended and then you come back and you think it was compromised, what can you do, apart from a full reset? Can't you have a tool that tells you if something changed, somebody took it, it rebooted, etc.?
[Security Discussion] WoKoschekk:
It seems a bit paranoid... When I'm not at home my phone is in my pocket or locked up (e.g. gym). That's it.

A full reset would do nothing for you. In bootloader menu you have no access to /data. Even if fully booted up nobody can access /data due to my display pattern. So, a full wipe wouldn't help you since it only wipes /data.

As I already said you could only patch the system.img/vendor.img with malware. But if Android verified boot is enabled, it's impossible to change something on these partitions.
[Security Discussion] cablop:
Not really paranoid. You only need to see the ads offering ways to people to know what their partners do, don't they? Keyloggers predate Android phones, so how can i think they are not a real risk?

BTW. If it was impossible to write on those partitions, then it would be impossible to change the firmware of the phone, but we do when we unlock the bootloader, and then we patch stuff, like a new recovery partition and even root the phone. So it is not something the Android verified boot can do.
[Security Discussion] cablop:
It seems to me that while Google and the vendors think it is important to keep the bootloader locked for security reasons, the community keeps looking in other direction to say it is not, and there's no risk, but there is.
[Security Discussion] WoKoschekk:
You mixed up things. A new firmware is not the same as patching /system on a stock ROM. Even a custom recovery requires a patched vbmeta.img in most cases.

Malware is an executable file that can only be stored on a file system. You can't store it on a boot.img or recovery.img since they are only binaries. No, you need e.g. /system or /vendor. Only there you could store a malicious file like a patched APK that gets executed by system during the next boot sequence.
[Security Discussion] cablop:
ok, that is interesting, but comes with a doubt... then, how does Magisk work? afaik it is a patch outside the firmware or system or data... Can't we install a malware to the phone in a similar way Magisk gets installed?
[Security Discussion] WoKoschekk:
Even Magisk needs an installation for the Manager APK when a patched boot.img gets booted. The APK isn't part of the patch and the installation must be granted by the user.
[Security Discussion] cablop:
Hmmm.

Ok, maybe i am confused by thinking the bootloader of Android can work in a similar fashion as the boot of Linux or even Windows.

So, just to be sure, what you are telling me is that there's no way to install with an unlocked bootloader a malware in the system, either as new software or replacing an existing one, but that the risk is they can read my data, something that i can solve with a proper device or userspace encryption, right?

Can't we flash some things from the TWRP or alike like the GMS directly into the system?

[OnePlus 11] _Johnito_:
Hello,

The post at this moment just under yours has a part called "Return your phone to unlock and unroot : Step 2 - Relock the bootloader".

Beware and be sure of what you are doing though. With this phone, relocking the bootloader while having any modified system partition (as init_boot for exemple) means a hard brick.
[OnePlus 11] gentwo3three:
Is it safe? What do you mean by modified system partition?
[General Topics] TheMystic:
Every time a message is received on WhatsApp, all the previously unread messages too show up in the notification area.

Anyone who uses Notification History would see all these old WhatsApp messages before the other recently received notifications. The notification history becomes a mess because of this.

Is there a way to stop these old messages from showing up again (without reading them)?
[General Topics] OpenAL:
When a new message is received on WhatsApp, it is common for the app to group the notification with the previous unread messages. However, if you don't want the old messages to show up in the notification area every time a new message is received, you can try the following:

Open WhatsApp and go to Settings > Notifications.

Scroll down and select "Group notifications".

Under "Notification tone", select "Silent".

Under "Message notifications", select "No sound" and "No vibration".

Under "Light", turn off the toggle for "Use high priority notifications".

Go back to the main Settings menu and select "Apps & notifications".

Select "Notifications" and then "Advanced".

Turn off the toggle for "Allow notification dot".

By following these steps, WhatsApp notifications will no longer make any sound or vibration, and the app won't use high priority notifications or notification dots. This way, when a new message arrives, it won't group with the previous unread messages, and they won't show up in the notification area again. However, you will still receive the notification in the notification shade, and you can read the new message there.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
Lovely. I think this may work with some tweaks.

I will try and 'mute' or archive individual conversations (since some of these are from individuals too) and see if that helps.

This is indeed something for WhatsApp to sort out in their app so they don't show previous unread conversations repeatedly in the notification area. This gets annoying very quickly.

Ok, it is an old phone, but I like it a lot better than my Razr.

I have a battery problem I assume. The phone seems to turn off at random points, not long after I stop charging it. The phone works fine when charging, but when stop charging it it turns off with the batter at no lower than 85%, at least that's what the battery meter reads. I have ordered a replacement battery, but I was wondering if this sounds like a bettery problem, or worse. Anyone's help is going to be greatly appreciated. Also, when I try to turn it on after it shuts off on me, it goes trough the loading screen, to the windows screen and then shuts off, and starts over again.

It was relatively easy with the devices not having the A/B partitions, it was enough to recover a theme (MTZ) to modify the files and images.

Now with A/B partitions even by rooting you don't have access and the system remains Read,Write is not possible.

You can download a MTZ file, but on a stock rom you cannot install it, only Xiaomi Eu roms allow the import of an external theme.

Hi. I did a debloat to my Samsung a32 4g. I manually adjusted the list so it won't remove stuff I need, but I realised that I don't have dolby atmos anymore. Is there any way to get it back?

I also was thinking to update to new android 13 update which I still didn't do.

Because after debloat, phone works faster than new and that is amazing! I'm afraid that it will become more slow after update. Do you know is it true? Or if I will debloat it again it will be OK?

I found that dolby atmos maybe connected to this line com.sec.android.app.soundalive?

I was thinking if I do an update, all the bloat will be back, and I will use the debloat list again, only I will also remove that line so it won't delete. Does android 13 one ui5 requires any additional debloat list and apps and where to find it?

Thanks so much for help 👍👍👍😊

Oh and I also wanted to ask is there any decent screen recorder available because these from

Playstore are laggy and slow. On my old xiaomi I could do this in a second and have a small size good quality file ready to send immediately. I'm having problems with that as there was no pre installed screen recorder lol
