I am aware of that. Though, I only deleted the "Camera" folder. Nothing else is deleted. So, I assume, only those photos, or maybe other previously deleted photos (which almost never happened anyway) would show up? Either way, dealing with that mess is still a much better option for me, than losing them forever.

I still cannot determine what's the best way to do this. I also understand that every attempt I would make installing stuff on the phone would gradually erode my chances of recovering photos, so I don't want to make uneducated guesses.

It seems that the most professional software for data recovery is usually installed on the PC side, but it's not able to get proper admin-like access privilege to the memory to see those deleted files, while the APK files that I can have installed on the mobile side are not sophisticated enough to be able to scan, identify and somehow copy/restore those files?

I mean I honestly cannot believe it's so easy to have this data erased. With all the stories of criminals' private data being restored on the phone by police leading to their conviction, it seems implausible. I bet those criminals did more than press "delete" on their phones' sensitive data... in my case, such a stupid, quick action. Feels like there should be some solution....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RSGI:
The app requires root... sorry about that
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
Is it reasonable to hope for some medium-term technological advancements (i.e. in 2-3 years) to expect this version of android to be cracked or similar, so that accessing such data would be possible? Or is this actually proper military-grade encryption stuff we're talking about that would not be recoverable in the foreseeable future (barring some more distant future technology like quantum computer being available to retail users?...)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RSGI:
Does the phone have Google Photos installed? Or any kind of cloud backup? Isn't it synced with Samsung Cloud?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
none of that
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RSGI:
Well, i believe that any data recovery company will ask you a few hundred dollars to TRY to recover, because that is never a sure thing. Also, installing apps on the device may already being using clusters where once was the photos...

But if you can afford, and are willing, go ahead power down the phone, put the SIM onto another device and take it to a data recovery company.

I´m sorry, but DiskDigger pro really works but needs root permissions. I know because i used it in my Note9 and was able to recover almost all data...

In the end, memories live inside our mind... :)

Also, consider installing Google Photos on that device to prevent data loss in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Always copy/paste, verify, then delete the source (if applicable) when transferring critical data. This is why. Transfers work most of the time. Larger transfers are more likely to fail or ones that have inappropriate text in their file or folder name. Just one those can stop the transfer. If you copy/paste you can then narrow down the problem file or folder and troubleshoot it.

Always redundantly backup critical data or eventually you will lose data, one way or another.

Once you're in this situation either write off the lost data or give it straight to a recovery specialist if you really need that data. Anything else jeopardizes recovering the data... if it is possible to recover. Even if recovered it will be a juxtapose mess. You can search the recovered data by file type and size, then sort through each jpeg visually. A long and tedious process.

I reccomend you do everything possible to avoid doing this again as the outcome is always less than optimal. There's no such thing as too many backup copies.

[Redmi Note 9T] LaurenceGough:
Hi all,

I updated to MIUI 14 via OTA (global edition), but I am unable to setup a fingerprint on the second space (user 10). I tried launching the biometric fingerprint setup from a launcher activity application but it let's me scan my fingerprint but fails at the end saying it cannot add it.

Has anyone else experienced the same?

I also had to disable MIUI optimisation to be able to add a second user (second space), I tried reenabling MIUI optimisation and using an ABD command to switch user but it still sadly wouldn't work.

Thanks
[Redmi Note 9T] LaurenceGough:
You can get to the missing setup page by launching "second space fingerprint" com.miui.securityspace.ui.activity.SetFingerPrintActivity but it only adds it to the primary user despite whatever order you try and do. Useless Xiaomi / Redmi clearly not testing for bugs and/or removing features.

I have a Sprint 6850 that's modded to Verizon.

Everything including Data work perfectly.

I can tether and it works sporadically.

But I can't use ICS, even with the .cabs and fixes out there.

Is there any list of pertinant settings and registry entries,

or has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dmacias:
I had the same problem with cricket and found that all the internet sharing fixes I used set the default connection for internet sharing to sprint. Even though I had deleted the sprint connection it seemed like it was trying to use it instead of cricket. So after installing one of the internet connection cabs I just change the sprint to cricket in the registry. I also might have used diamond tweak and adv config also.

Normally i stay away from cabs. But this one worked perfectly for my Sprint HTC touch pro
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nozempje:
Hello,

Thank you for your willingness to help me with this odd situation.

The TM variant of the LG V20 has been my daily driver for at least 5 years when I finally needed to replaced it due to charging issues. I bought and returned an LG V60 and a OnePlus 7 Pro. In the end I went back to what I know, another LG V20 which worked flawlessly untill this morning when suddenly my icon folders would not open. I redid all folders exactly as they were but rather than to replace the 1st set of folders the 2nd set stacked themselves on top of the 1st set. I removed the 2nd set, but 1st set still won't open and also can't be removed by dragging them to top of screen. Home screen buttons have "doubles" now and screen looping doesn't work anymore either even though looping setting is enabled.

I have cleared the cache, turned phone off and on and removed the battery ..... rudimentary I know.

Hopefully you will be able to help me solve this problem. Thank you very muchView attachment 5898797

We are very excited to announce Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Is camera working here? even if is an AOSP or MIUI?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] psklf:
Looks cool~
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] vicl89:
OMG I can tell you guys, it's maybe the BEST ROM EVER for Poco F4, It has the Oxygen OS Camera with all the effects working. The look n' feel is awesome!! so clean, so fast, so compatible with everything you need.

I didn't find any issues so far.

Just give it a try, FOR REAL!!
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] tinted:
i have installed with recovery method and i had spark os previously and it overwriten over it like an update instead of clean update.

Anyway after that i wanted to first clean everything and then flash the ROM but i cant seeem to boot twrp from fastboot.

"fastboot boot recovery" does not work. tried both orangefox and twrp. This might be a bug.

I think i have to flash someother rom first and then boot into TWRP.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Siddk:
you using wrong command you need to boot into recovery by 'fastboot boot filename.img'

or flash recovery as boot by 'fastboot flash boot filename.img' after installing rom it will automatically change to aosp recovery also boot will restore
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] tinted:
i am using the correct command, I was just lazy to include the .img in the comment i wrote. I did not try the "fastboot flash boot filename.img" though. This issue might also be because of the ROM overwriting last ROM.

Anyway, i reinstalled MIUI fastboot rom and then did " fastboot boot filename.img" and it worked this time. And then installed paranoid android after clean wipe. Everything working now.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS of ROM,

wifi strength is little less. 5 Ghz wifi is disconnecting frequently and staying on 2.4ghz. I has to manually connect to 5ghz wifi multiple times even when i am right next to router.

5G on Jio is not working, used to work in spark OS I used. although i did change from 14.0.2 indian firmware to 14.0.4 indian firmware. I dont think newer firmware should break 5G but we nevere know.

since 5G is in trails we get unlimited data so 5G support would be nice. Also, i get 500mbps siting at home so that is a plus as well.

Wireless display casting is working.

standby battery seems very good.

I miss HBM. I feel like display could get little more brighter but i cannot do side by side testing so i might be wrong.

battery percentage inside a circle battery indicator would be nice, otherwise it is taking lot of status bar space. if not that then circle indicator instead of bar would be better to read the battery status.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Siddk:

can anyone else confirm that their Google pay and Phone pay are able to activate the bank accounts, this might be SBI bank account related as well but sms verification failing from two days.

EDIT: its working, it is as stupid as selecting wrong sim for verification. But I was selecting SIM1 which was supposed to be my main SIM card and I double checked afterwards in the SIM tray and my main sim card is in SIM 1 slot but in software it is reversed somehow

Can using Indian MIUI firmware instead of Global firmware be the issue?

Hi, how's the stability? Is it as stable as pixelos/arrowos and the likes of those?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] tinted:
I have only used pixel OS briefly so I don't know about its stability but I do feel like paranoid Android is more stable than arrow OS, i think this is the best ROM if you consider the hardware optimisation.i used to get weird mic issue in calls in every other ROM, it's gone.

But this rom does lacks some features compared to other ROMs. 5G support is not there as well.

Check the screenshots i attached below, i cannot go back to any other ROM because of the efficiency and battery life. You might think that others are getting this type of battery in other ROMs as well but for my usage i never got more than 5hrs and stand by was worse in all the other ROMs I tried.

Just to give you an idea of my usage i will list the things i have enabled all the time.

Right now I am getting 5 to 6hrs sot with nearly 2 days usage while using 75% - 80% of battery, 90% to 10%, i try to disconnect charger at 90% battery and charger at 10 or 15%

1. Wifi, Bluetooth(TWS for calls and music(check gaana usage in screenshots), data (rarely go out so i don't use cellular data),NFC, Nearby Sharing, location, auto brightness, lift to wake up screen,

2. Always listening Google assistant, even with screen off

3.Google fit activity tracking

4.Resilio Sync (file syncing app between laptop and phone)(i used to get bad stand by because of this app in other ROMs)

5.wavelet (to tune my IEM and TWS to more neutral sound signature)

6.i have about 280 apps but I do filter the notifications by disabling marketing other nonsense notification channels so i only get notifications from 4 to 5 news applications.

Although the application i use are light weight, my phone and apps setup used to make overall battery life worse but optimisation is good in this ROM.I think biggest thing i noticed is the improvement in stand by time. I don't play intensive games but i played "20 min till dawn(120fps game)" continuously for few hours indoor and the phone did not get hot .

Ask me more specific things that way i can analyse and give you more objective answer

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] vicl89:
The 120fps and 240fps modes do exactly the opposite in slo-mo mode. When you're editing, it plays in regular mode what's supposed to be in slo-mo, while the rest of the video plays very fast.

The 960fps mode serves its purpose, but the video looks distorted, so it could also be considered not working properly.

The long exposure mode also doesn't seem to work at all.
