[Google Pixel Watch] platway:
I have a file explorer installed on the watch, but can't find the location of APK files.
[Google Pixel Watch] rodken:
Try installing AppExtractor or ApkExtractor and install it through ADB commands to your watch then start it and find the app you want to extract the APK. Then it sends it via Bluetooth to the phone through an App or/either the File Manager or files.
[Google Pixel Watch] GuyInDogSuit:
WearOS Tools can do that.

ADB AppControl can as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] darekz:
Is it possible to unlock TMobile (USA) video calling on factory unlocked S23 Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zoman7663:
I'm pretty sure you have to install TMO firmware. I know it's there when you do but I've never used it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Tuvix1:
Hello XDA community,

I am considering installing a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S22 (Exynos variant) and would like to gather some information regarding the implications of this action, especially if I decide to revert back to the official Samsung firmware later on.

Apps Compatibility: Which apps will no longer work if I switch back to the stock firmware after installing a custom ROM? I understand that tripping the Knox flag by rooting or installing custom ROMs can cause certain Samsung apps like Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, and Secure Folder to stop functioning. But what about other apps? Specifically, I am concerned about the compatibility of my banking app from Belfius (Belgium) with features like contactless payments.

OTA Updates: Will I still be able to receive Over-The-Air (OTA) updates once I have installed a custom ROM and then switched back to the official firmware?

I understand that the Exynos variant might not differ significantly from the Snapdragon variant in this context, but I thought it's worth mentioning.

Any insights or experiences that you could share would be immensely helpful. Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S22] karan5chaos:
So first thing you need to understand is that you would be installing a GSI and not a fully maintained device based Rom.

That means forget about the timely updates.

Secondly, GSIs are not optimized for particular phones and you might encounter bugs. From what I remeber, VOLTE won't work on GSI and for some phones even Bluetooth audio and mobile Hotspot won't work. Not to mention erratic battery life and unoptimized system.

App compatibility won't be an issue. But you have to say good bye to the samsung ecosystem. Also, if you do decide to install a custom rom, you will trip Knox and a few apps like secure folder, Samsung pay, samsung pass and Health might not work (unless they are patched). As for banking apps, they should work fine unless you are rooting your phone. If you do, you just to install a magisk module to pass the play stone security settings (forgot the name of it).

Also, if you again decide to go back on the stock rom, you just need to relock the bootloader and you should be able to get Ota updates again.

Overall, it's a good experience but you will grow tired of the bugs present in the GSI soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Jeik:
As stated above, there shouldn't be too much trouble regarding apps working/not working, you will just have to apply work-arounds if you choose to root.

Although I do not know how your banking app will behave, I can say that mine (Croatian along with Revolut) work fine as long as I keep the safetynet module installed and hide Magisk from those apps (via Zygisk).

However, I just wanted to make a clarification regarding the bugs.

Things that as of now do not work at all:

- Wi-Fi Direct (e.g.trying to locate another phone while migrating data from Signal)

- 5G

- VoLTE

Here are the things that as of now work with a BUT:

- proximity sensor (it works - the screen will lock if you put the phone near your face while in a call but you have to wake the phone yourself afterwards)

- WiFi Hotspot (it has been fixed in the latest release of Loki kernel

aka you have to flash a custom kernel for it to work

)

- RIL signal occasionally misbehaves once after a couple reboots(keep toggling airplane mode until it goes back to normal, this is a general TD GSI issue that appeared recently - so it will be dealt with in the near future - and you have to do this once per boot in the rare cases when it does occur BUT it seems to be happening less frequently in recent June builds)

- Video recording is capped at 4k@30-45FPS

The performance difference is pretty much non-existent/same (ran benchmarks in Geekbench for the CPU and 3DMark for the GPU, the CPU score varied by 100 pts which was a thing even on OneUI).

As for battery life, it apparently greatly varies among users but in my case, until recently, it was absolutely better than stock (the best I could get with heavily debloated OneUI and my custom kernel was 1.6-2.3%/h idle drain while the lowest I got in GSIs was ~0.6%) . However, the latest OneUI firmware update seems to have made it better (AOSP still does better, from my experience, but OneUI is no longer unbearable to the point of losing +20% overnight).

In my case, 5G/VoLTE and Wi-Fi Direct aren't important, but it might matter to you.
[Windows 11] s7vennn:
Hello, everyone.

I encountered issues after updating to Windows 11, version 22H2, yesterday. Last night, I left my computer updating and went to sleep, as I usually do. The computer was updating throughout the night, and this morning when I turned it on, I discovered that it had reverted to a previous point in January of this year, causing me to lose important files and programs.

My initial suspicion was that it had reverted to an old restore point, but I checked and found no restore points saved since I had never created one. I also checked the update history, and the only recent update listed was the one from yesterday. After that, there are only updates dated back to January 25, 2023, and earlier. Lastly, I attempted to check the disk by using the "chkdsk /f" command in the Command Prompt, but it returned with an access denied error, stating that I didn't have sufficient privileges or the disk was locked by another process. Apparently, when the system reverted, the user who was logged in previously disappeared.

It's worth mentioning that my computer exhibited unusual behavior in recent days. It seems that I downloaded a virus named "Trojan/Wacatac.H!ml" from a .jar file related to a school project. I removed the virus and performed multiple scans that found nothing, but Windows Defender kept notifying me of the virus's existence for a long time, even though I couldn't find anything when I clicked on the notification.

Also important to note, this has happened before in January this year when the computer reverted to 2021 (or 2022, I don't remember exactly), but at that time, I reinstalled my programs and continued to use the computer normally. However, now it has reverted to the point before it reverted the first time (I hope that you guys could understand that).

Does anyone know what is happening and how I can resolve this issue, if there is a way?
[Windows 11] elbonnor:
Wipe Windows and switch to Linux.
[Windows 11] s7vennn:
i wish i could lmao
[Windows 11] anyabaker:
It sounds like the update may have corrupted your system, causing it to revert to a previous point in time.

I would like to help you troubleshoot this issue and get your computer back to normal you need to follow these steps-

Check your Windows Update history to see if there are any other updates that were installed around the time of the issue. If there are, you can try uninstalling them to see if that resolves the problem.

Run a full scan of your computer with your antivirus software. It is possible that the virus that you downloaded may have caused the corruption.

Create a new restore point. This will allow you to roll back your system to a previous point in time if the issue persists.

Contact Microsoft support for assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and get your computer back to normal.
[Windows 11] s7vennn:
i did a full scan on my computer. the only thing antivirus found was a keygen.

i checked the history of updates and, apart from the update that caused this problem, there is no updates after 01.25.2023.

simply there is no clue of what may have happened or any trace of these last 6 months i used my computer, apart from the files that were saved on the ssd.
[Windows 11] s7vennn:
Thank you for your comment

Since windows defender and didn't get anything, do you have any antivirus recommendations?
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] ChanLeePump:
Hello, I have a problem with my Motorola One action, the touch works normally when I am using the phone, but when I need to use it connected to the current, the touch does not capture my touches, someone has any solution?

Android 11

Software version RSBS31.Q1-48-36-26

Security p: 1 July 2022

Im from Mexico

Thank you!
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] nobodyAtall:
Did you try resetting the phone instead?
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] ChanLeePump:
Yes, many times, but it doesn't work
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] nobodyAtall:
What about using custom rom?
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] ChanLeePump:
I haven't tried, I don't know how it works and I'm afraid of leaving it unusable
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] nobodyAtall:
Maybe the only option is go to any service center and let them have a look.

Most likely a hardware faillure
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] rudabb:
I have both the x90 pro and 90 pro plus. origin os. interesting question because I feel that mixing and matching chargers doe not charge at the max speed of charger/unit. so, given same cable length of 6a cable (or same cable) :

would the vivo x90 pro 120w charger be able to charge the vivo x90 pro plus at 80 watts? and would the 80 watt vivo x90 pro plus charger be able to charge vivo x90 pro at 80 Watts?

I also posted this on this website(

). I just feel that they dont do so.

Just food for thought..thanks
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
The x90 Pro plus never charges above 60w... (mayb 10 seconds - but surely never for a full minute!) - can easily measure this with a powermeter. This does not matter if switched on or off.

Also even worse there is no hardware to stop charging - go into bootloade fully charged and leave it connected - phone will get very hot once fully chargd as vivo messed up something there.

And yeah it's hypersensibl based on the cable. Some cable charging my laptop at 60 watts (max speed for my laptop - actually on a 65w brick) will only give 3-10w. Others are better and allow 20w (the max for 3rd party chargers)
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] rudabb:
Interesting. I was wondering about the message "fully charged, remove immediately".. I mean silly .. what if you want to charge it overnight.. I have to say (again I don't have a power meter.. yet.. ),the x90 pro with 120 watts brick charges so so quickly ... Anyways thanks for the feedback .. ps:both units I disabled smart charging option or the option that learns your usage etc..
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
in bootloader it's worse than trickle charge - if phone is on or off it's trickle charge - in bootloader it's like 6-7w pushed in that need to get rid via thermals. It's really crazy vivo saved some pennies on hardware charge protection (on third party chargers at least - maybe the vivo charger brick that I don't use because it's way too big for the power has some inbuilt protection).

But clearly even on the own charger there is no like charge to 100% - go down to 97% - then shortcut the battery or similar. It's a great way to destroy the battery quickly though.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechIngest:
Hey there, fellow XDA members! I've compiled a list of exceptional custom ROMs with GAPPS based on my extensive experience of flashing ROMs over the past few months. If I've missed any ROMs, please let me know, though I might not be able to try them all. Currently, I'm using stock Android since the available custom ROMs for my device still feel like they're in the Alpha stage. While they offer great customization, I can achieve similar options through rooting. Repeatedly flashing ROMs for updates becomes tiresome. I'll return when these ROMs have matured and offer OTA updates (EvolutionX has OTA, but I'm uncertain about the others).

Important Reminder: If you use Google Pay, it is crucial to remove your card from the Wallet app before flashing a custom ROM. Failing to do so might result in your bank blocking additional cards, preventing you from re-adding your card later on.

Here's a quick rundown of the ROMs I've tested:

RisingOS: The only ROM I've found so far that works with Google Pay, but it's still in an alpha or beta stage with some bugs. Nevertheless, it runs fine with minimal battery drain. I'll keep an eye on this ROM and revisit it once the bugs are ironed out.

EvolutionX: It's stable, but it significantly impacts battery life. I suspect the kernel might be overclocked since the phone gets warm even with light usage (30 minutes of YouTube). I recommend this ROM primarily for gamers who want optimal FPS and sustained performance.

Project Elixir: Similar to EvolutionX but with fewer customization features and better battery efficiency. I would use this ROM as my daily driver if Google Pay worked reliably. Unfortunately, I have to repeatedly re-add my card. Additionally, I've encountered issues with apps like Facebook and Instagram during my recent revisit (as of 6/24/23).

DerpFest Tango: Essentially a stock Android ROM with some tweaks. The Telegram community appears inactive, but overall, it's a decent ROM. Battery life seems similar to stock, and the phone runs smoothly. However, Google Pay doesn't function correctly for me.

StagOS: Offers a plethora of customization options but lacks a substantial user base. Similar to DerpFest Tango, the Telegram community seems inactive, and Google Pay is also broken for me.​

I've shared my insights on these custom ROMs, but I would love to hear from you. Have you tried any of these ROMs? What has been your experience? Are there any other ROMs you would recommend? Let's continue the conversation and help each other find the best custom ROMs for the Pixel 6a. Happy modding and feel free to share your thoughts below!

Edit: [7/4/2023] - Changed word choice, but kept the main points the same, and made minor clarifications throughout the post.

Edit: [7/6/2023] - Important Notice Regarding Google Pay: After encountering issues with Google Pay myself, I realized the significance of removing your card before flashing a custom ROM. It seems this crucial step is not explicitly mentioned in the installation instructions of most ROMs, or perhaps I overlooked it.
[Google Pixel 6a] mbellot:
Not on your list, I've been pretty happy with LineageOS since it went Official. OTA works, but can be slow to install.

Far from perfect, but suits my (minimalist) needs with NeoLauncher.
[Google Pixel 6a] questionquince:
Which ROM has the unlimited google photos?
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
Used all the above roms and they are all pretty solid. My daily driver and go-to if I don't like how a certain rom works I the Velocity Rom-Maxium Velocity kernel. He was on xda up till about 6 months ago but now he's on telegram.

Good features but no fluff - speedy as hell - battery standby is great and no heat to speak of. Comes preloaded with root so you just download magisk and that's it. Really good rom.
[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
You should try out LineageOS and crDroid. Those 2 roms are the best ones I've tried so far. As for Gpay/Google Wallet, I got it working with most of the custom roms I've tried. You just have to use "safetynet v2.3.1-MOD_3.0."

LineageOS doesn't come with GAPPS but it includes instructions on how to flash it.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechX1991:
The unofficial build of risingOS 1.0 ran great for me, but when trying to switch to the official version, it wouldn't flash the product partition.

Generally, I carry 2 phones. One with GAPPS as some stuff requires it, and one without (the phone I use the most). Pixel has gapps, oneplus 8t has microG. Overall, any rom I'd recommend on the 6a, its either rising or lineageOS. If you want customization, go crDroid
[Google Pixel 6a] TechIngest:
Most roms have it baked in. Project Elixir (enabled by default), Evolution X, and RisingOS. As for the other two, I used them for a week and I didn't see a toggle.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechX1991:
Its also not very hard to add it to a rom. There's a Magisk Plugin for it
[Google Pixel 6a] M1chiel:
I would suggest to also consider GrapheneOS, although its developers stress that it is not a 'rom' but an OS. It is focused on security and privacy and other than that it is basically AOSP, which I personally appreciate. You can run GOS with or without (sandboxed) Google play. Battery life is excellent and it is well maintained by a skillful team.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechIngest:
I had GrapheneOS previously on my Pixel 4a 5G (Bramble) and it didn't fair well. I'll try it out though. I understand that it's a privacy/security focused OS, but darn, there should be some sort of customization.
[Google Pixel 6a] M1chiel:
Yes, customization is an issue: there is not much you can do beyond installing a custom launcher. With root you can do a lot more, but that obviously defeats the security purpose.
[Google Pixel 6a] mbellot:
I was interested in GOS until I learned about the "no root" policy. I understand the security side of the argument, but it's my device and I understand the trade-offs.

I have gotten really sick of the various corporations (M$, Apple, Samsung, etc) trying to tell me what I can and can't do with my belongings. I have not owned an android phone that wasn't rooted, I intend to keep it that way.
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
Anyone getting super high idle drain the last few weeks? Using magisk + battery guru my drain was about .5-.8%/hr. sitting overnight. Lately regardless of the rom I'm at like 2.5% and have no clue. Just me?
[Google Pixel 6a] charly30:
are you using Universal SafetyNet Fix Displax mod?

I recommend lineageos / hentaiOs / evolutionX ( I didn't had your problems with this rom)
[Google Pixel 6a] pete80pro:
When writing about Roms you should at least be able to test them properly. Gpay is working fine on stag/derp... The telegram groups aren't dead too.

Your topic name "best custom rom" also doesnt make any sense...
[Google Pixel 6a] TechIngest:
I haven't been able to find a download link for hentaiOS, but I've seen videos about it. If you are able to share it, I would be open to trying it out.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechIngest:
I'm sorry about that, I've changed my post to better reflect what I was trying to say. I've also been testing the roms on another spare Pixel 6a I have, so I'll update my post in a few months when I can provide better info. And I don't know if it helps, but I use a Citibank card, and so it's always picky about if it works or not.
[Google Pixel 6a] imna357:
Damn, your absolutely on the spot, tried everything, like the derpfest and evolutions, my Google pay works as it should only thing with evolutionx may battery drains faster and it gets hot easily, mostly complete like the derp, with derp my personal safety wouldn't worked. I do like to add the crash detection coz I travel a lot. Tried rising before, but status bar are a bit misaligned.
[Google Pixel 6a] imna357:
any suggestion for kernels, using Azure latest one on EVOX but phone still gets hot and drains quickly=(
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
I absolutely loved crDroid, the only reason I switched was because the builds weren't consistent. Sometimes Steve would only build vanilla, sometimes GApps, sometimes both. I use my 6a as a daily, and doing a dirty flash every 1-2 months isn't an option for me.

I'm on RisingOS now, have been using it for about a week. It's great, but I'm having a few issues.

- I had my smartwatch constantly disconnect, apps weren't really kept in RAM. I was told this is because of the aggressive phantom process killing. I was told to enter a command in Termux, which largely solved my issue, but 2% of the time, it still acts up.

- I wasn't able to configure the EQ for my Pixel Buds, the companion app kept crashing. I was linked an older version of the app from apkmirror, which solved my issue entirely.

These two problems aren't that major, since they can be fixed with a bit of tinkering, but none of these were required on cr.

Battery life is okay, I'm having ~0.6-0.8% drain overnight, whereas I'd have ~0.2-0.4% on cr.

My other two complaints are.. weird? I use a bike-sharing app and in order to rent a bike, I have to scan a QR code. And it doesn't work on Rising.. somehow? Like I can open up the camera, and I can see what the camera sees in the app, it just won't for the life of me recognize the QR code. GCam works fine when it comes to scanning QR codes, but the bike sharing app doesn't. I have to manually enter the 6-8 digit number printed on the bikes. Sure, not a dealbreaker, but incredibly annoying, and super weird, I don't quite understand how this issue can exist.

The last thing I noticed is that not all notifications come through, especially from Messenger. Now, this might be a bug with the app, and not with the ROM, since Messenger is usually a pile of garbage, but I find myself regularly opening up the app, to see if I've missed some texts or not.

Overall, I'm glad that RisingOS has tons of customizability, although there are a few missing that were present in crDroid. Stability is alright, I've had to reboot the device a few times in the last week to get rid of some bugs that appeared out of nowhere. As far as I understand Rising is still in sort of an alpha/beta phase, so I'm sure most of the issues listed above are going to be fixed sooner or later. The Pixel Support Telegram channel is also very active and people are super kind and helpful, they reply within minutes.
[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
I agree with you about the inconsistencies with crdroid, but I was willing to overlook those (and even do a clean flash, if needed) because of how well the rom performs.

However, I recently switched back to stock because of an odd issue with the June crdroid update: the tap to wake and lift phone to wake would not work no matter what I did to troubleshoot. I tried to go into their telegram group to get help, but oddly it would say that I needed to wait a year before I could send a message. I thought it was an issue with my telegram acct but same issue after creating another acct.

EDIT: The "tap/lift to wake" issue in crdroid is no longer present in the July crdroid update
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Interesting thing about the Telegram lockout. I think I've had my acc for a few months now, but I don't actively use it -- I had no problems sending messages.

Regarding the issue with the tap to wake + lift phone gestures; have you tried flashing stock ROM, then flashing cr?

How's stock working out for you? I was also considering going back for a while, but I know for a fact I'll be missing all the customization features. Sure, some are only just flashy, but there are quite a lot that make my days easier.
[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
That's part of crdroid installation - flashing stock and then flashing crdroid so that's what I did do.

Stock is working pretty well. It's not as responsive, but not noticeable unless I'm comparing the two side by side. I've been able to get all the customizations I normally use from Xposed mods and maybe a bit of help from tasker.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
It shouldn't be a part of each installation though :D

What modules are you using?
