[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
You must have same software version for car model in order to work with some other canbuses. Try with new canbus but other models of car - similar models or some other year of the car (like ie. if Peugeot 308 has mk1 and mk2 - divided by year choose each one of them and restart, see then if all works, if not try other models of same brand like ie. Paugeot 307 408 406 etc.) , something must work. It helped me find right canbus software after installment of new multimedia.
[Moto G7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FailSafeNow:
In the past, I have purchased phones online and then found out I could not unlock the bootloader and root the phone. I'm considering getting a G7. Is there any specific model I should get? Is there any model I won't be able to unlock and root no matter what I do? I couldn't take another heartbreak.
[Moto G7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kind of android newbie:
Any of the following are fine -

XT1962-01

XT1962-04

XT1962-05

XT1962-06

However, keep in mind, that you may not be able to unlock the bootloaders of these models in some cases (i.e. certain carrier specific models can't be bootloader unlocked). Ergo, buy one that is already bootloader unlocked, or buy the factory retail model for your region.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] twmonahan:
Greetings All,

New to this community, running a Moto Z2 Play (albus), with stock Android 8, which was the last update available to me. Here we are 5 years later and the phone is still in amazing condition but I'm having trouble with the PlayStore telling me "this version isn't available for your device", and the older the phone gets the more apps I learn no longer support it. So I learned how to sideload apps (like Microsoft office, OneNote etc) but I figure that the writing is on the wall unless I upgrade Android.

After a quick google search I learn you can root your phone and there is an Android 11 image called Lineage OS 18.1 ... which sounds pretty sweet. BUT after additional searches, I'm reading so many cons about rooting a phone.

What's really at stake? I don't have any warrantee to void, I also figure if I brick the device I was probably going to buy a new phone sooner than later anyways.

Questions: If I install Lineage OS 18.1 successfully...

Will the Play Store and Apps continue to update, or will I stop receiving notifications regarding available updates? Or am I forever stuck with sideloading?

If I don't install G Apps is this bad? I don't use stock Google Apps, I've opted to use the Microsoft equivalent like Outlook for email and calendar... or do I still need to install Google Apps to gain the ability to layer Microsoft products on top?

Why is there so much negative talk about malware infection with rooted phones? If I'm not downloading and installing apps constantly, the risk would still be no more threatening than it is now correct?

I heard that Moto mods stop working, no biggie - I never used any of them anyways (I thought the included LCD Micro projector was cool, but ask me how many times I've actually used it = 0). While discussing moto stuff, would the gestures still work? I do like shake for camera, and the flip upside-down for silencing the ringer but I could learn to live without them.

Would the camera still work? Its probably the only real feature I use that I couldn't live without.

Are there any apps that would realize the phone is rooted and refuse to run? Some searches told me that security apps may not like a rooted phone. Does rooting it affect Microsoft Authenticator app?

I mean what's really at stake? My phone is fighting to be relevant for the few select apps I use (mostly Microsoft stuff) and I don't play games.

It looks like win-win, unless I'm missing something really important.

Thoughts?
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
Firs of all Flashing a rom doesn't actually count as root but some apps (will refuse to work) will detect an unlocked bootloader or something like that if you install the LineageOS rom
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
there is also Pixel Experience and Dot OS roms to flash (I already test both) so:

when it comes to Pixel Experience:​

pros:​

Stock "clean" Rom

Android11 so your phone will have access to the apps you said refuse to work on Android8 also the phone will be detected as a Pixel 5 by Google Services.

all Google apps and support out of the box for basically everything you would normally use on a stock phone

somehow with this rom the apps wont/never detect any unlocked bootloader unless you install Magisk

unlock 64-bit and use all 4GB of RAM so it perform just better than stock rom with the same or even slightly better battery performance

MOTO MODS support

Google Camera support out of the Box

cons:​

there is basically no cons of using this rom unless you want to root it.​

somehow this rom is the most unestable when it comes to install magisk addons and slide load things cuz it can randomly brick/bootlop by just accessing to the custom recovery TWRP. Could also be a fault of my phone but I doubt it..​

​

Dot OS:​

pros:​

There is a GAPPS version of this rom and it basically has all the same pros as Pixel Experience​

this is by far the most customizable and beatiful rom when it comes to UI personalization​

​

cons: and also the reason I avoid using it​

huge battery drain even on idle whithout GAPPS installed​
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
That is the rom I actually use

Lineage OS wont have installed the Play Store/any Google Play Service/related app.., out of the box but

- you can actually slide load the pico opengapps package just after install the rom using TWRP so:​

you will have the same support and features of Google Play services that the Pixel Experience rom has (like streaming to a nearby device, gps auto location, sync accounts/passwords/contacts, find my device, updates notification, install new apps, etc), heck opengapps even add out of the box support for nfc payment

pico version of open gapps will just install the Play Store and no other Google app so LineageOS remains very stock and lightweight.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
As I said you can install pico gapps which are a very lightweight version of Google Play services without compromising any feature the stock version has, also the battery drain of picogapps package is barely noticeable comparing it with stock gapps
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
Magisk(is the only recommended method of rooting these days) is pretty safe, it even has a Github repository. As you said unless your a noob and dont even know what are you installing you can get infected even on a stock phone..
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
Yes, gestures work, LineageOS have a menu just for Moto gestures.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
Yes the camera will work normally, if you dont like the camera app LineageOS include you can always install the Gcam (support out of the box if you install opengapps)
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
Sadly Google Play services will detect LineageOS as a rooted rom even if you dont root it so any bank app, streaming apps like Netflix, CrunchyRoll, etc., won´t work.

Though Microsoft app will work even if you dont have gapps installed (except lite versions) and I think Microsoft apps dont detect root and even if they do you can easily bypass that by using Magisk deny list. As for Microsoft Au I confirmed it does not detect root
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TLDMimikyu:
Yes, is a win-win, specially because LineageOS have the best battery performance of the three roms I listed before and you can make it more efficiente by installing the Stratosphere addon for Magisk by CRANKV2

LineageOS 20 for Mi Note 2

Beware, you are about to enter a dangerous zone!

​

After much tinkering and countless of brain explosions, I have determined that my lineage-20 builds for Mi Note 2 is suitable to be released for the public.

Please note that the ROM bears the "[UNOFFICIAL]" tag for a reason - you might face instability or performance issues.

You are not recommended to use this ROM for daily usage, just to be safe. I am not an experienced developer, hence my changes could be wrong or incomplete,

rendering issues to occur on the device.

Full credits to bgcncm, luk1337, haggertk, joe2k01, and all other xiaomi/msm8996 developers.

This ROM is based on official xiaomi/msm8996 sources by LineageOS, with my changes on top to get lineage-20 working.

Without their work on xiaomi/msm8996's Linux 4.4 kernel, this wouldn't be possible at all. Please consider donating to them or the LineageOS foundation.

Additional, huge credits to ChronoMonochrome and @rINanDO for their huge assistance in my early days of Android development.

Please refer to my github repositories for more information on my commits and changes made on top of official LineageOS repositories.

Things to take note:

- Not all features are fully tested as I do not have the required equipment etc, such as testing Bluetooth audio, Dual SIM network, or Netflix.

- Builds will be SELinux permissive for the time being.

- Builds are using EAS (Energy Aware Scheduling) configuration, rather than the traditional HMP configuration. No PowerHAL is included for the time being.

What's not working:

- SELinux (permissive)

- PowerHAL (excluded for EAS switch)

- Camera HAL log spam

- other untested features (ie. DRM, Bluetooth audio)

- some other non-fatal, kernel side errors and outdated configurations

- you tell me.

What's working:

- everything else.

Installation steps:

1. Update system to latest stock.

2. Unlock bootloader and perform factory reset.

3. Utilize fastboot to flash and boot recovery.img from my Download link below.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot boot recovery.img

You can also boot official TWRP first to make persist and EFS backups. (Highly recommended. )

4. Wipe everything, and sideload ROM zip using adb.

adb sideload lineage-20.0-20230420-UNOFFICIAL-scorpio.zip

5. Flash GAPPS if wanted. Reboot and have a sip of coffee.

Thanks.

-Just reporting. \/

edit 1: How to get rid of decrypt data? im trying to make some backups using twrp.

edit 2: besides the sad decrypt data issue, the instalation process seems to restore the default partition table. It deleted my custom 4gb+ system partition and restored to stock 2,975mb (only a problem to postmarketos/plasma users).
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lee.wp14:
oh. Don't think that's possible. A new recompilation of TWRP is required, or if someone did it.

Now new android requires FBE encryption, not even FDE, so old TWRP will not able to decrypt it.

If backup is really important, suggest you to use dd first, or adb pull your files. I don't know how to compile TWRP, so can't build one for now.

I have checked on the installaton steps of postmarket os for scorpio, and I'm stunned. If an image file could "repartition", then no doubt flashing LineageOS will also able to "repartition" it back since android zip builds use image patching too. We actually have to specify the size of partitions in device tree configurations.

I never came across this method of "repartitioning" and couldn't find further information on Google. Do share with me if you know any references about this.

That`s a good Question they i`m personally also wantet to Ask about. Would it be possible to Create a "New" Rom on the Scorpio? The Hardware aren`t Bad so can we Hope for a Rom/Update?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IshtiyaqM:
Thank you so much for your help and passion with this device.

I have a Mi Note 2 as secondary phone, let me know if you need any help to test.

Installed as per your instructions, but if I change anything like inserting a SIM it reboots frequently. Let me know if you want any logs (i still need to read for sending logs)

I recently, sync the Los 20 repo and started the build process but got stuck with RAM (8gb) limitation on my old laptop. I'm a dev but noob on Linux and Android.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lee.wp14:
scorpio (mi note 2) shares the same xiaomi msm8996 kernel with mi 5, mi mix 1. As long as the common kernel and common device tree is being worked on to support newer Android, it is definitely possible for us to get the new things. LOS folks has worked on the msm8996 kernel, hence that's why this ROM is possible. It's just that someone has to do the work to build for the particular device, and apply changes/fixes to make it work on a target device (in our case, making it work on Mi Note 2).

I was way too busy not long after I got this phone and released my last builds. Busy with internship, graduated, looking for job and switching job, getting used to new work, moving accommodation, financial stuffs and all that, lots of stuffs. Literally too packed until didn't have free time to even watch a movie or whatsoever. Now I am working two jobs, 7 days per week, hence very sorry that at the moment I couldn't work on this development. At some point of time I might come back, or maybe someone else will pickup where I left.

@IshtiyaqM thanks to Google, now building Android 20 requires 32GB ram. It's not a joke, no more like older Androids where you can simply build with 8GB ram. The bare minimum, very bare minimum is 24GB physical with ZRAM to make the total memory at least 32GB. I allocated just 16GB and ZRAM to make it over 32GB, it takes 8 hours to build (to be fair, it's a VM)

Also, SSD is a must now. Your build will just simply stuck or fail with a HDD. Things has changed now. Building ROMs are simply no longer feasible now...
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IshtiyaqM:
Thank you @lee.wp14 for you response.

All the very best with career stuff.

Thank you, will not dedicate time for this, I noted with SIM the los20 keeps rebooting. Without SIM it works fine.

Once again, thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyGui:
I have a Samsung A04S with Android 13 en OneUI 5.1

For some reason when receiving a Whatsapp call while the screen is off, the phone doesn't always ring. When turning on the screen afterwards, a missed Whatsapp call then pops up. It always rings when the screen is already on.

It only happens when connected to Wifi, the issue disappears when using 4G.

I have:

- Checked permissions for Whatsapp

- Disabled "sleep" mode for Whatsapp in the background

- Switch automatically to 4G when Wifi signal is weak is ON, I also set this for Whatsapp specifically

The weird part is that it's random and doesn't always happen even when calling the A04S from the same phone.

What's the issue here and how can I fix this?

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dbman2023:
How can I move some apps to the SD Card?

On the Samsung I moved from, you could move a lot of the apps to the SD Card, which helped with saving space. But on the Sony, none of these same apps show an option to move them to the SD card under the Apps settings.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] blackhawk:
You have 256gb of internal storage, right?

How could run out of internal storage with an SD card too?

Apps and download folder(and maybe the dcim folder) goes on internal memory.

All critical data goes on the SD card, the data drive.

Otherwise you will cause issues...
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dbman2023:
You can do this on the older Samsung phones with a lot of the apps. You can move the installation to the SD Card. I had lots that I'd moved on the last Samsung I had, never had any issues.

At the moement, I've used 43GB of internal storage and I haven't finished installing all the apps I use yet, or any games.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] blackhawk:
That's all apps? Leave at least 10% headroom on the internal memory.

I can't understand how you used up so much storage space.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dbman2023:
It's new, no data/photos/music/videos on the internal storage.

Apps are currently 18GB. The rest is System - 25GB.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] blackhawk:
What's the internal memory size?

All my apps and system are using less than 100gb. I'm still running on Android 9, no scoped storage so that helps.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dbman2023:
12GB memory, 256GB internal storage
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] blackhawk:
That should be more than enough even with scoped storage unless you got social media app hogs, ditch that trashware!
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dbman2023:
I use a lot of social media but no social media managers.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] blackhawk:
You see what's using the space up. Social media apps are malware. If you must you them, sales or banking apps use browser login only through good browser like Brave.

The space they are hogging has better uses...
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] alecxs:
You can move (moveable) apps to MicroSD Card only if the OEM supports that feature, which is very unlikely for a Samsung or Sony flagship due performance reasons. It requires you to format the MicroSD Card as internal aka Adoptable Storage.

If you don't have this option, you can try from cmd line.

https://jimcofer.com/2016/03/10/marshmallow-lg-and-adoptable-storage
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] dbman2023:
I've not actually got around to installing those yet! Unavoidable, as I need to use them.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] blackhawk:
So you got have around 150gb of free space on internal, right? Lol, unless Sony has more bloatware than Samsung which be hard to do🤣
[XPERIA X1 General] boomdijk:
Hi everyone,

There is something strange going with my X1 (WiMo 6.1). While i have my phone connected to my pc for a sync the phone switches off after 30/40 seconds when i do not touch the screen...

This behavour is new and i don't know to get it back to the before state that is during a sync or being connected to the pc the phone does not switch off...

Is there a setting to change this?
[XPERIA X1 General] anaadoul:
Does it go off completely?

does it vibrate and shows Xperia Logo @ SE logo when turning it on again?

if not, then it might be only standby mode, where the mobile is still functional but turns off the LCD for power saving, a small press of the power button will turn it on again.
[XPERIA X1 General] boomdijk:
It does not reset, but just powers down. Goes off. It looses the active sync connection and when you switch it back on it has to regain the active sync connection. Wich is wvery annoiing because you have to keep tickling the X1 to stay alive when you want copy some data to the device...

Any idea how to change that behavour??
[XPERIA X1 General] anaadoul:
was it like this the first moment you tried to sync it? or it started behaving like this? if it wasn't, then it might be a software you installed.

if you can try to hard reset (make sure you backup your mobile) then try to sync.

i think there is some conflict between active sync and another software.
[XPERIA X1 General] wensing:
Is this 30/40 seconds timeout your normal timeout for going standby?

If so, maybe the setting in "Settings - System - Power" to not charge the X1 when connected to a PC is active.
[XPERIA X1 General] kmac27:
Hello,

I had the same problems, wheter using active sync or usb, and even more.

No usb connection, the display did not dimm - it went directly to standby - cutting all the connections (wifi etc). I did not find out, but I think it was some programm I intalled, after a hard reset and only installing what I think what I really need, no problems anymore.
