[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Rouvster:
So I have APKure on my phone.

I regularly swiped the play Protect message wanting it to uninstall APKure.

I got annoyed so I disabled Play Protect.

I still got that annoying pop-up saying "hey I'm here, uninstall that app"

This drives me nuts !

How can I get rid of play Protect or create some exceptions to get rid of these popups?

Thx a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Rouvster:
Like this ?

Still getting that message ...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] WooBLOATERRRR:
In this case, just delete google play store from your phone if you are deciding to stick with apkpure
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Try clearing app and system cache.

Package Disable Playstore or firewall block it.

Playstore is a parasite, I rarely use it...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] WooBLOATERRRR:
None of these two. I mean delete delete it, not disabling it, since if you are gonna use apkpure instead of google play store then there is no need for it to interrupt your installations and etc.

Delete it using ADB Appcontrol. Package name: com.android.vending (google play store)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Not necessary to uninstall it. Occasionally you may want to use Playwhore.

Side loading is the best way to get malware or worse. Scan all side loads with online Virustotal before installing and reject any download if there's the slightest question of its integrity. Do not allow apps to update unless completely vetted and trusted like Malwarebytes. Most apps don't need to update. Firewall block all apps that don't need internet access to perform their core function. Most apps don't need internet access.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] WooBLOATERRRR:
If you wanna disable then do that, otherwise what I would do is to delete it since I know where I get my apps safe and etc. Just more peace for me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
I use Package Disabler and Karma Firewall so it's easier to just pull the plugs on Playstore.

I use ApkExport to save my apps so Playstore isn't needed on a reload.

Any app install carries risks unless fully vetted. Playstore has been breached multiple times in different ways, other sites carry similar risks. Best to avoid new downloads whenever possible.

This one of the reasons the current load on this N10+ will be 3 yo in June. Still fast and very stable. No firmware upgrades or updates in over 3 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
That app is a cancer. Use APK Mirror or use official sources. If you need an XAPK installer, there are plenty on the Play Store that are much more trustworthy. There was even a malware distributed with the official APKPure app before.

APKPure is not safe, distributes Trojans

The APKPure app store for Android has been infected by a malicious module that downloads Trojans to users’ devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] somatoth:
Hi,

I currently main an S10e besides my "project phone" Mi Note 10. On that phone I just installed az AOSP-based custom ROM (Android 13), which I really do like. So, I am thinking on flashing the S10e (Exynos) with a custom ROM too (PixelExperience 13).

My question is that is there anyone who flashed custom ROM instead of the OneUI 4.1 on the S10e? Is it better performance, battery and features-wise (under features I mean e.g. Cameras being most important.)? Can it be used as a daily as well as OneUI?

Thanks for the answers.

P.s. sorry for my bad English.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] ethical_haquer:
Performance will definitely be better. I ran Lineage OS on my A52 4G for a little while, and it was much faster than OneUI 5. Also, many custom ROMs don't come with nosy Google apps pre-installed, which is a plus (although you can install them yourself if you want them). Some things to remember are that the camera support will not be as good as stock (so do your research on how good support is for your device), and that phone calls will not work with custom ROMs on any Samsung device. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Swordfishx86:
VoIP doesn't work. Normal calls do just fine.

@somatoth You might want to have a look at

OneUI 5.1 for Exynos Galaxy S10 series.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] somatoth:
Thanks! What camera app was included?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] ethical_haquer:
Yes, sorry. I should have clarified, I meant that VoIP doesn't work, but depending on where you are, it could mean you won't be able to call at all, because many service providers have recently stopped their service with devices that don't have VoIP capability. So here in the U.S. I essentially can't call at all, because no major carriers here work without VoIP. But it all depends on where you are and what carrier you use.

EDIT: Read this thread page for more info on this (many posts talk about VoIP and calling support).
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] ethical_haquer:
Lineage OS has probably the best camera support of any custom ROM at the moment, as they just recently released version 20, which featured a brand-new default camera app, Aperature. I have used Aperature before, and compared to alternatives such as Open Camera, It is much better. For example, the camera apps that most custom ROMs ship with, including Lineage OS 19, don't even support all of the cameras, only the main shooter. Also, the overall quality of the photos are better with Aperature. That being said, the camera quality will still not be as good as stock. Currently, if you want to run Lineage OS on your device, there is the official Lineage OS 19 version (based on A12): Lineage OS page, XDA thread; and the unofficial Lineage OS 20 version (based on A13): XDA thread. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll gladly answer them. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] somatoth:
Thanks! Do you know by any chance, is there a good Gcam port for Exynos devices? On my Xiaomi phone which I flashed with OctaviOS, there are lots of available but that is a Snapdragon model... And the only thing (besides that I am new to flashing on Samsung) is the camera (which is absolutely fine) and battery performance (which already sucks a bit on the S10e) that keeps me on OneUI.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] ethical_haquer:
For the Gcam port look here. Yes, battery performance will definitely be better with a custom ROM. Let me know if you have questions about flashing it, as I have an A52 4G that I flashed Lineage OS to and then re-flashed OneUI to (because of VoIP, otherwise I would stay on Lineage OS 100%).
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] somatoth:
Thanks. It's sad that this camera isn't as good as the stock one, so I might stay at OneUI as you have flashed back.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] ethical_haquer:
You can see a comparison between the stock camera app and Gcam on your device here. The results from Aperature, if you install Lineage OS 20, will be the same or better. Like I said, the only reason I switched back was because where I am, I need VoIP. Otherwise, Lineage OS was much better than the stock OneUI, and I can't wait to go back to Lineage OS again after I get a different phone for calls.
[Other SmartWatches] Sacob:
Hello!

I really need to replace my Amazfit startos 3 and i'm sonsideing this model. For me, the always on display and offiine music storage is a big plus. I've heard that this model is a bit forgoten by the company and i'm wondering if i should pick a galaxy watch 5 pro instead or some other option

thanks
[Other SmartWatches] davidkejzlar:
I own this watch for 1 year and it's really good for me, as I bought it for budget price, but if I have decide today, I would definitely not do it. No offline storage, AOD LED display is really great (and standby/basic mode is great feature), battery lasts about 3 days with heart monitoring off, with all functions on and bluetooth/Wi-Fi enabled little bit less than 2 days, contactless paying really sucks (it usually fails few times and I have to take out wallet and pay with card anyway). There was never any support (even technical questions was never ansvered) and now the forum was cancelled at all. No software updates (security updates Oct 21) and no signs of any change. If you get the watch for reasonable price (less than 100USD/EUR) and don't need any support, take it, but if you want offline music storage and any kind of support, better avoid it.
[Other SmartWatches] Sacob:
I've bought it for 200 and I'm still waiting to receive it. It's way cheaper than the galaxy and when version 4 is available I can sell this one and upgrade.

As for offline storage I thought there were apps available to send music to the watch
[Other SmartWatches] davidkejzlar:
No offline storage for mp3 (charging cable has just 2 wires, but if you get cable with data wires, it should be possible), but I'm not sure if some apps can can send the music to watch. I've bought it for ca. 90 EUR, just to see, if I like it (if not, I would throw it away). And I kinda liked it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trueg:
It occurred to me that it may be possible to swap the keys from a Fuze with the keys from a Dummy Touch Pro in order to get a NAM GSM Touch Pro with the original layout. I remember playing with a CDMA Touch Pro dummy and the keys depressed like a regular keyboard. Normally I would order the service parts online, but there don't seem to be any available yet.

Note that I am talking about the physical layout. As you know it is easy to switch between Fuze and original layout in software.

Anyone care to comment on this idea?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kyphur:
Usually the parts on dummy devices won't work. As the cases aren't the real thing the few parts attach differently therefore would be problematic attaching to a real case.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trueg:
Indeed, I would need to take the two apart to see how they compare. Most often keys are simply pieces of plastic that sit on either rubber or plastic and the functionality is not contained within the key itself.

I mean I could get little stickers to cover up the Fuze key symbols, but this may provide a fairly inexpensive (>$30) physical solution.

I'm also talking about taking the 60 or seventy keys and swapping them with the keys on the Fuze. It would require taking the keyboard completely apart.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trueg:
OK, so I have obtained a Raphael service manual, so I should be able to disassemble it without destroying anything.

Am I the only one crazy enough to think this is worth while?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Nautme:
If it does work, everyone will think you're a genius (and the cost of dummies will go through the roof). Make sure to let us know. The keyboard is my major annoyance with the FUZE. Why create a custom keyboard when everyone knows where the keys are on a QWERTY!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trueg:
Just wanted to update this thread for historical purposes. Looks like I just had to give it some time.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=479273

Turns out the keyboard just sticks on. Had I went and purchased the dummy, I could very well have simply pulled off the keyboard and swapped it for the one on my Fuze. Buying the dummy would now be overkill since you can simply purchase the OEM keyboard for $10.

Hi,

I recently purchased a korean s23 ultra (sm-s918N) which I've been enjoying. I've read it's possible to unlock other bands using the US rom. Is it possible to flash to the US rom on a Korean s23 ultra, considering the hardware is the same?

Any info would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
Hardware is unfortunately different
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] majidamps:
I'm guessing you mean not the same?

[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Samarimama:
Did you update the drivers?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] WooBLOATERRRR:
1. Check that usb-debugging is enabled

2. Make sure the cable isn't damaged

3. Make sure to install the phone drivers in-order for it to detect a device connection.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Suvadeepnag:
yes phone driver was not downloaded !! after download fixed the issue !
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] WooBLOATERRRR:
That's good to hear! Have fun:)

another problem arrived after that !! i flashed custom rom but very custom rom there's a display glitch happening !! only stock miui working !!! display texts and animation kinda everything stacking up !!! let me know if u ever faced this kind of problem and have a solution ..Thank you
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] WooBLOATERRRR:
That sounds like glitch from the rom itself, maybe you should retry by re-flashing the rom again or find another in this case:)

[Security Discussion] dookie23:
Hi all,

I am looking into buying a new tablet and it seems that a lot of Chinese tablets are very affordable. I am looking for suggestions on which brands/models are safe to buy as I have heard that some of these have spyware pre-installed?
[Security Discussion] ethical_haquer:
It depends on what you count as "spyware". In my opinion, most android apps available could be considered "spyware", as they are closed-source and require excessive permissions, many of which they shouldn't need. Is that "free" game you downloaded really free? Or is it simply harvesting your data with camera, mic and location access? Who knows? I don't think it really matters if you get a Chinese one, because most Android devices, including high-end ones, come with nosy Google apps and services pre-installed, and Google Play Services essentially acts as a proprietary "layer" between the OS and the apps. Let me know if you have any more questions. :)
[Security Discussion] dookie23:
Thanks! I read about things like keyloggers pre-installed on these tablets which I really don't want :(. I guess there is a reason why these devices are so cheap in price.
[Security Discussion] niveZz:
there is no evidence that something like a keylogger was integrated into the OS itself

I understand why people have privacy concerns after the Huawei ban in 2019.

There have however been privacy issues (like miui uploading the entire app list and some developer ending up making an xposed module to prevent that) but that's about it

If you import a phone directly from China it's often cheaper but it may be missing some cellular bands. Many Chinese manufacturers have global versions of their devices.

alternatively you could just flash a custom rom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
I'm trying TNT ROM and it keeps locking up, so I remove the battery to reset the phone. Unfortunately, this resets the clock and date to 2006, which screws up call logs, appointments, etc. when I forget to fix the date/time.

My old phone would sync the time/date every time I turned it on, getting the info from the cell phone tower/network (when I went to California, for instance, the phone was automatically on local time). Is there a program to do this for the Wizard/PocketPC? I know of programs that sync to NTP (TNT comes with one that doesn't work), but that's no help when I'm not connected to Wi-Fi.

At the very least, could it save the time to the memory card so that it doesn't revert all the way back to 2006 when the battery is removed? The time would be wrong, but at least it wouldn't go back in time compare to when I turned it off.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ashasaur:
No, the Wizard does not feature either flash memory nor a battery back up for the date and time. Newer HTC devices do, but the Wizard for whatever reason doesnt.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Is there a way to sync the phone's clock to the cell phone network?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bedwa:
No. I've found that the easiest way to sync the time is with active sync. I use a atimic clock sync on my computer and then sync my phone to my computer... I do hate that also with the not syncing with the towers, but this is an acceptable replacement for me. This was always the way that I did it with my iPaq 1715 also.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Is there a way to display a very obvious reminder message when the date is obviously wrong? (It always thinks the date is 2006.)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] HuiBuh_1:
Hi endolith,

what ROM version are you at? I'm running a Win Mobile 6.1 ROM version and my Wizard is adjusting the time after a hard reste to the appropriate time and date automatically....

So maybe an update to a 6.1 ROM could help...

BTW: I'm using XIONS 0.7 ROM (but it is in German)

Look in a registry editor for nitz

There should be two locations

HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting ShowNitzPage = 1 in DWord

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL NITZEnable = 1 in DWord

Those are the settings in my phone's registry.

Then start menu\settings\personal\phone you will now see a tab called Time Zones

Check the box to allow it to update the clock.

You may have to do the turn off phone wait 30 seconds and reset with pushpin routine.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional

What program does it use to do that?

What's nitz?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Mine says:

HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting ShowTimeZonesPage = 1

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL NITZEnable = 0

Changed NITZEnable to 1 and it seems to work. I wonder if that does the same thing as the check box under Time Zones?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Duh. Just set an appointment for the day it resets itself to, so it will pop up a reminder.

Also, I confirmed that NITZEnable toggles along with the UI checkbox, so you don't need to go into the registry at all.

Just go to Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Time Zones and enable Automatic change time zone and clock. I mean, that's totally obvious, right? :rolleyes: (I need to find a new phone that doesn't have any relationship with Microsoft...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Just load TimeSync to your phone. It will require a data connection when used, but you can just run it manually. No need for all of this exotic flim-flammery... :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Or just go to Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Time Zones and enable Automatic change time zone and clock. No need to install anything, and no need for a data connection.

Notes

​

1. You need to flash Stock Android 13 before flashing this ROM (61.2.X.X.XXX)​

2. If you came from a SODP based ROM, you need to go back to official Android 13 firmware, and boot until you get to the Xperia Launcher​

3. 120Hz & HS (Renamed to Pause Charging) can be enabled from the QS Panel​

Support group available on Telegram!​

What works?​

• Wi-Fi

• Wi-Fi 6e

• Mobile Data

• Bluetooth

• SDCard

• Cameras

• GPS

• LED

• Flashlight

• Fingerprint Sensor

• Battery Health Statistics

• Pause Charging

• Bad Wake Up delay (4.7)

• Stuck on Setup Screen (4.7)

• Smart Pixels

• You tell me

Flashing Instructions

(Download both the ROM, boot & vendor_boot images from the link below)​

Clean Flash:​

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash boot_a [boot image]
fastboot flash vendor_boot [vendor_boot image]
fastboot reboot recovery

adb sideload <rom.zip>

BUT If you want to flash Magisk go to

fastboot flash boot_a [magisk boot image]
fastboot flash boot_b [magisk boot image]
fastboot reboot

Updating from a older build (Dirty Flash):​

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot recovery

adb sideload <rom.zip>

If you've had Magisk flashed before you need to reflash it again, go to the steps below the Clean Flash and do the same again, then reboot and you should still have Magisk

This ROM makes me want to unlock bootloader again. Thanks bro!

UPDATE:

Just installed this ROM and it runs so smooth. I'm not rooted and everything is working just fine.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] The_Maze:
Any initial thoughts on battery life?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Should be vastly improved since I've updated kernel ^^
[Sony Xperia 1 III] The_Maze:
OK, you got me hooked. :) Will test it over the weekend.

Thank you for the hard work that you put in!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] k3lwin:
Nice one Saku! I ran CherishOS on other devices, along with Spark it is the most balanced ROM - enough but not too many features, pretty stable, have been in active development for years. Hopefully no branding kerfuffle is going to happen like with Ricedroid. Will you build dirty-flashable updates for Cherish in the future?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Depends on what's updated in that specific build of course... But yeah most of the time you should be able to dirty flash any of my ROMs.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] k3lwin:
It's more about whether you are going to keep building it when it gets updated. I'd prefer not having to do clean installs every couple of months to get latest security updates. Also, 4.7 was announced literally hours after you published 4.6.1 🙃
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
I've already built it, I just need someone to test it ( and another secret rom ;) )
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Johnnycazh:
Nice build, defo gonna try it. Does surround sound works? I also saw that the battery should be better than on stock, which is a plus
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Well we don't have the exact audio features stock has but we have a replacement for now which has surround sound and other stuff
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Johnnycazh:
@Sakuu eh, that's good. What about the camera? Do we have google camera, or? And also, does cherish offer Google Photos patch without root needed?(now i use pixelify, but i'd like to keep my phone unrooted
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
It has all camera apps from stock preinstalled you can install gram if you want ofc, and yeah unlimited backup should work without root afaik.
