[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The problem is that the Aurora Store itself is not an official Google app, but it accesses the API of the Google Play Store. Aurora itself can be used without an own Google account by signing up "anonymously". For this purpose, a "foreign" Google account is provided for downloading apps. Where these accounts come from is difficult to say. This also leads to Google blocking these accounts from time to time. The error message "API failed" appears. Therefore, do not be surprised if the app download is not always possible. Usually, the download is possible again in a few days or weeks. To do this, connect to a new "anonymous account". On the other hand, it is not recommended to use the Aurora Store with your own Google account, since this will then most likely be blacklisted or blocked by Google. Probably downloading apps with a fake account is a copyright infringement. Therefore, before use, inform yourself about any risks and the legal situation in your respective country to avoid possible copyright infringement. At the very least, Google's terms of use are being deliberately violated.
[General Questions and Answers] ethical_haquer:
Actually it is possible - look here at the first answer by possibly our very own @SigmundDroid. Manual download does not delete the files after installing them. This solution worked for me a few days ago!
[General Questions and Answers] Librem5OS:
Thanks for the great idea! will try that once aurora is working again (if it is working again..).

But why is there n option to disable delete apk post-install for external storage but not for internal. how could anyone guess that if they don't intend to usde external storage, eh?
[General Questions and Answers] Librem5OS:
Do i look like i give a sh!t about Google's terms of use are being deliberately violated. :ROFLMAO:

Spoiler: i give zero ****s

You can say all you want that apkpure is a legit source and present your own replys as facts, i'm not downloading anything there.

Searching "is apk pure safe" provides enough reports to make up your mind, which i already did.

For example, nordvpn states that apkpure had malicious downloads in the past https://nordvpn.com/blog/is-apkpure-safe

And ofcourse nordvpn is the same sh!t as apkpure, actually it's even worse, never use nord...
[General Questions and Answers] damnbro3004:
Though it says "external storage" it saves it in your phone's internal storage only. I have an sdcard in my phone, yet the apk was stored in internal storage only
[General Questions and Answers] Librem5OS:
I ment why is there no option to keep the installer file after installation when using interal storage install method, or is there?
[General Questions and Answers] Librem5OS:
Anybody, is https://apkpure.com/ or is https://m.apkpure.com/ the original?!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The 2nd URL is invalid: Should be https://m.apkpure.com/ :)
[General Questions and Answers] damnbro3004:
I think, for aurora store, the internal storage means either /sdcard/Android/data or /data/data (these both folders are accessible to the app without "files and media" permission) which is inaccessible to us without root. what i mean to say is that, if you have "use external storage" option disabled, the apk downloaded will be saved in the folders which i mentioned and if you have it enabled they will stored in /sdcard/Aurora which is accessible without root
[General Questions and Answers] Librem5OS:
Thanks for the correction, since you seem like an expert regarding apkpure, you would most likely know which one is the original? what the matter with the m. ?
[General Questions and Answers] damnbro3004:
Ig they both are the same. The link with 'm.' is when you open the site on mobile phones and the one without 'm.' is when you open with desktop browser
[General Questions and Answers] User.Hemlock:
I don't see an option to enable external storage, can you confirm I'd that option is still available?
[General Questions and Answers] CelvinT:
If you say any method will do then I think you should be able to get the APK of the app you will like to download from sites like apkpure, uptodown and the like

Is your bootloader unlocked? fastboot oem unlock is not the method for motorola. You have to send your imei & get a key from them then use that to unlock. There are already many guides related to this. You have TWRP. So bootloader should be already unlocked.

After I took this Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos(SCH-i589) and refreshed the GT-S5830 ROM with Odin, it became a hard brick (I did this because I installed AIDA64 Android Edition and it said gt-s5830 under "Hardware", which turned out to be purely misleading, I thought it would refresh successfully) now the phone has no reaction, no Recovery, no download mode, nothing, complete hard brick, no reaction, what should I do? : (
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
If the device is completely unresponsive, there is nothing you can do as an end user to fix it.

You're going to have to have it repaired or replaced.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLiang1129:
Thank you for your reply! It's not completely unresponsive, after I press the download mode shortcut for a few seconds, the screen flickers a little and then goes out, nothing happens, as if it wanted to enter download mode but failed

I bought a USB JIG from an online shopping platform because I checked the forums and the vast majority of people said that USB JIG would help, but the merchant said "this product will not help hard bricks" which confused me a little, I wanted to know the exact answer? If you or someone else can answer it, I would appreciate it! (Also, luckily, I didn't refresh the partition table. A friend of mine said that if I did, the phone would be dead.)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
The only jig I could think of would be JTAG, and while I imagine the board does have a JTAG header, Qualcomm (and Samsung) provides a means to perform low level flashes using specialized tools such as QPST. However the tools and the files necessary are not publicly available and there is zero end user support. Most repair centers won't reflash your phone; they'll just replace the main board and program it with your IMEI.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLiang1129:
Thank you for your reply. As far as I know, USB JIG comes in two varieties, one is forced to boot the device into download mode via a MicroUSB plug with 4 resistors, and the other is what you call JTAG, and I bought the former
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLiang1129:
USB JIG arrived today, but it didn't work... I removed the battery two seconds later, put it back on the phone, and plugged in the USB JIG, but nothing happened, I even waited five minutes, was I using it wrong? I even paid about 10 CNY(about $1.50) for it, including a 2 CNY USB JIG and 8 CNY shipping... If it's just a dust plug, it's not a good deal...) I need help. Thank you so much!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLiang1129:
Good news, guys! Instead of using the USB JIG, I switched to a USB cable that was just on the charger of one of my old phones. I connected my battery-free Galaxy to my computer, pressed volume up + Volume Down + Power, and something magical happened: my computer made the sound of new hardware discovery! The screen lights up and displays the Samsung Logo, but it goes black after a few seconds. (I think the USB cable doesn't connect reliably, but only it works.)

You can try these if you haven't already. Sometimes 3's a charm... This article indicates there are hard points present, I can't verify that as you're deeper than I ever care to go. If that option is viable you better make sure you get it right as it bypasses all built in safeguards and as I understand it could completely brick the phone for good. Might want pay a expert with lots of experience try to recover it... or learn as you go.

[G1 Android Development] necromancerr:
i got my replacemnt G1 yesterday and it came with RC 29. i want to jailbreak it but i have few questions before doing that.

1) does this void the warranty or anything like that?

2) can you go back to original firmwares??

3) after jailbreaking, can still update your G1 with updates from tmobile??

NEED HELP ASAP, before i get my RC30 update.
[G1 Android Development] korndub:
1) possibly: it might go unnoticed that the firmware was changed, as long as you dont damage the phone you should be ok.

2) yes - you can undo the modded firmware update process with the official RC29 then apply the official (no root) RC30

3) no - once you apply the modded firmware update, there are mods that prevent you from receiving ota updates. you can probably find the update and apply it via sd card, but you will more than likely lose root....
[G1 Android Development] necromancerr:
so if you cannot get the updates from tmobile, is it worth it???
[G1 Android Development] korndub:
yes its worth it, and you can get the updates, just not over the air, and im sure the members here will be able to mod the official updates as they come out....better to have root while you can than to upgrade to official RC30 and not have a chance, at least for right now, to get root back.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] devilishbrains:
Hi All,

I was hoping someone would be able to assist this issue that I am facing. I have a S21 Ultra purchased a couple of years ago in Sydney, Australia.

Recently, my SIM card stopped working on my S21 Ultra. Every other feature works and the SIM card works fine on a different phone. I have also tried replacing the SIM card, but it still does not work. The same SIM card works on a different S21 Ultra phone.

I also reset the network settings and yesterday I performed a full factory reset, but the SIM card still does not work.

I tried searching for a solution here, but could not find any threads where someone has faced a similar issue. If someone could kindly help or suggest some other tips, that would be highly appreciated.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheMystic:
Have you flashed any custom module/ ROM/ firmware on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] devilishbrains:
Thanks for your response. Nope, just the usual OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheMystic:
Have you tried putting another sim card on the current slot that isn't working?

You have the following two options:

1. Assuming your current sim is in slot 1, try putting it in slot 2 (or vice-versa).

2. Try eSim with your current number.

The issue appears to be the firmware that came with the latest OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] devilishbrains:
Yup, I have tried another SIM card but that doesn't work. That sim card works successfully on other phones. Also I just have a slot for a single physical sim card. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheMystic:
If a factory reset doesn't solve a problem, you'll have to wait for the next update. For now, eSim seems to be the only solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] devilishbrains:
Yup, seems like it. Yes, I will try and get an eSim and see how that goes. Thanks for your responses. Appreciate it!

Hey All,

Just thought i would say hi, and give a little history behind my joining.

I have been browsing this site for ages now, to get my Hermes running WM6 up and running. Biggest thumbs up has to go to burnes for his post here..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=359584

I have been struggling for ages to fix the tiny mms issue, installed a reg edit app, and job done! This is a fantastic resource :D

I have always been a Nokia man, had Nokia 6230i/N70/N80/6300

Whilst the 6300 is a great 'phone phone' well built and slim, i missed the power the N80 had, but was not a huge fan of Symbian. I missed the ability of having TomTom on my phone.

Sooo i bought an old HTC TyTN off a work friend, because i just successfully blagged my new contract (250 txts, 100 mins x network, unlimited internet for £5 inc Vat per month!)

My old 6300 was crap for web browsing so got the TyTN, its a fantastic phone! The joys of a qwerty keyboard, high res screen and the billions of applications. I installed Palringo as an alternative to MSN and that kicks ass, google maps is a joy to use on it compared with the 6300.

I am converted to Windows Mobile, i might have to treat myself to a HTC Touch Pro! :cool:

Once again, this site is a great resource.

Thanks!

I read somewhere that K60 and F5 Pro share the same code, but want to make 100% sure if I compile this and install it, I won't bricky my brand new phone.

Hi klozz, are you bringing los to mondrian?
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] TeamMex:
I'll give it a try when I have some free time
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] DimTester77:
Minor update: I wasn't sure if this project was even necessary, after I discovered the VR Settings option in the Display Settings on the Poco F5 Pro (and presumably many other HMDs), but it doesn't seem to do anything or actually work, sadly.

I'm not just doing this for VR use, of course, but I want to be able to lower persistence for gaming in general, however watching HDR at 120 Hz in VR on this phone was and is my primary objective. I will mod the kernel if I have to, but I haven't written off trying to get Google VR Services / SetVrModeEnabled API working yet. It currently doesn't work, inside the Cardboard SDK's "Hello Cardboard" sample Android project, but neither does my Galaxy S7 and that should work, or at least it used to.

You can set the brightness of the display in code, so presumably if you can force VR low persistence mode to be enabled on this phone, you can lower the brightness to reduce the persistence (which is how PWM dimming works, it trades off brightness for lower blur in equal measure, you lower one and the other raises and vice versa).

Unless someone knows of a way, or an app, or another ROM, to force Game Mode to activate "Vr mode" or low motion blur modes. I'm not in a super rush to get this working, it's more of a hobby project, but I would appreciate any tips / insights / feedback. Especially where to dig into the kernel source to change the PWM frequency from 1920 to 120 Hz, even if it's hardcoded for now, I could use a hack like if you lower the brightness below 25% it switches the PWM frequency to 120 Hz. That would let me install the ROM and not worry about toggling it on or off. Or if there's an ADB command like there used to be on Samsung phones to toggle low-persistence mode on/off on GearVR-enabled Galaxy phones.
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] DimTester77:
I spoke with several VR experts and it seems like most mobile phones have discontinued support for "VR mode" aka low persistence aka setting the display's PWM dimming frequency = refresh rate.

I am forced to investigate this further, but before I even try to boot a custom ROM on this Poco 5 Pro, let alone compile one myself, I will attempt to find the exact place in the kernel that configures the brightness of the OLED panel (the duty cycle), and see whether the interface permits one to specify some arbitrary PWM frequency, as well as the duty cycle. If there is no such API or parameter, then this project is DOA as it would be something baked into the firmware of the driver board (1920 Hz frequency). If I can even find "1920" as a hardcoded constant somewhere in the kernel, then that's a positive sign. If not, I may have to abandon this and use something like LCD shutter glasses for 3D projectors to achieve low persistence. But that's not great as it cuts light significantly (50% or more due to the polarizing layer).

I guess I'm writing this to ask people here who probably know way more about Android kernel hacking than I do, whether this is indeed possible (configuring the PWM frequency in code).

If it does work, I'll of course publish the ROM and potentially even make it a simple ADB command so you can enable it in any game (this would benefit 2D games as well, to reduce motion blur at the expense of peak brightness. but many people already use sub 100% brightness so that sacrifice may as well go towards lowering the motion blur. this doesn't happen with a PWM frequency of 1920 Hz, naturally).
