preinstalled crap can disabled from adb, but for blocking play store you rely on google family link.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Draknof:
Hi all, I have a Sony Xperia X Compact which still worked perfectly fine.

Today I tried to install Lineage OS but had trouble making it work properly - see the thread.

I managed once to successfully install TWRP but then it got removed during the formatting. I tried many times to reinstall it but it didn't work:

Strange... So instead, I boot to recovery through the fastboot. It always worked, I've done it 10+ times today

But after my last install of Lineage OS, I can't boot anymore to TWRP and get stuck on a black screen. I tried other versions of TWRP and it's the same result.

Now I have

- a buggy Lineage OS which crashes while accepting the Google terms, which means I cannot activate the debugger mode and cannot use adb

- a buggy TWRP which doesn't load

-----

Solution: install the Sony flash tool and flash the original firmware.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Techngro:
Hello all. Just got a secondhand LG V60 a couple of days ago. Really like it so far. A few bugs early on, but the only real issue I'm having is with my Galaxy Buds+ earbuds. When I put the phone in my pocket, my audio immediately starts to get very weak and choppy and I'm not sure why. Has anyone else had similar issues with bluetooth headsets?

So far, my google research has suggested

1. changing codec to SBC

2. disabling bluetooth A2DP hardware offload

3. disabling HD audio

Anyone know if those changes might help or have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Last night my x1 was fine, before I went to bed, I turn the whole thing off and charge it with the charger. This morning I can't boot up the device at all. Tried remove the battery and put it back still no go.

I notice one thing if I have the charger still connecting to the phone and when I press the power button on the upper right, i see 3 red blinks from the side panel, but again, phone won't power up. What does the red blink means?

I have this phone only 4 days. Should I send it back to manufacture?

[Xiaomi 13] Veiranx:
Hi all,

For those of you, like me, who are interested in learning more about developing for custom ROMs, the following links will be helpful for finding .

First is the inclusive list of open source kernel releases by Xiaomi: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource

At the bottom of said list is the Xiaomi 13 (fuxi).

Second is the device tree (based on Lineage OS and said to be WIP) by YuKongA: https://github.com/YuKongA/device_xiaomi_fuxi
[Xiaomi 13] Aquariuslt:
What is the primary difference between official xiaomi 13's device tree https://github.com/MiCode/kernel_devicetree/tree/fuxi-t-oss and https://github.com/YuKongA/device_xiaomi_fuxi ?
[Xiaomi 13] Veiranx:
YuKongA's contribution is for Lineage OS, or instead of MIUI it's AOSP. I think.
[Xiaomi 13] Veiranx:
To give additional information, the Lineage-derived device tree likely originates from: https://github.com/imasaru/android_device_tree_template
[Xiaomi 13] Veiranx:
Also, the kernel includes a lot of stuff for the hardware and is accompanied by a kernel device tree, which is a kind of 'table of contents' (unless I'm mistaken about the analogy).

"The 'Open Firmware Device Tree', or simply Devicetree (DT), is a data structure and language for describing hardware."

Linux and the Devicetree — The Linux Kernel documentation

I imagine a lot of compatibility issues are lining up the system image and the kernel+device tree.

...

(At this point, I'm really just spouting off some things as I'm learning, so feel free to correct or ignore me as I'm going along!)

[General Topics] senskori.boi:
I was looking to buy a new mid-range phone.... I have been using snapdragon phones since I remember using android phones.

I was torn between Mi 11 lite NE and Poco X5 pro when a friend recommended me the Redmi k50i with the flagship mediatek dimensity 8100

When i compared the benchmarks of snapdragon 778g with dimensity 8100 it was way better.

I've heard its better to go with snapdragon devices for long term stability......

I'm not looking to do any hardcore gaming, but i do like to keep using my phones for a long time.

Are there any drawbacks both software and hardware wise going for mediatek or is it just a market hype ?
[General Topics] SigmundDroid:
Generally I'd rather stay with Qualcomm/Snapdragon.

Mediatek sounds often very nice and is reasonably cheap (unlike overpriced qualcomm) but in the long run it is dead end.

I didn't listen to such wise advice myself, so I made this very mistake twice and went Mediatek (1st time being curious, 2nd time being scientifically thorough, lol): Every time updates ended very soon (less than 2 yrs).

By now, if a device is/was not listed at

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

I won't buy it.

If you check the details there, most things are qualcomm.
[General Topics] senskori.boi:
is there any other reason other than updates ?

like software support or maybe some hardware issues ?

tbh i am tempted by mediatek 8100 because it is comparable to snapdragon 888 in benchmarks while the other devices in similar range are snapdragon 778
[General Topics] SigmundDroid:
I am not a dev but, yes, my two failed attempts included software and hardware (edit: or rather driver) issues.

Last time I was impressed by their Helio chip, now it's you with 8100...

You mentioned "using my phones for a long time", I think this automatically excludes Mediatek (roms/devs/support, where a LOS-listing is a good indicator) but please check yourself:

https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor-group/dimensity-8100

Can you find those devices at XDA? Are they well supported?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghatothkach:
hi

I am using the Android 13 based LOS 20 device with multiple user mode, and I would like to install some apps for ALL the users.

How do I make some of the User-0/Admin apps visible to all users ?

OR

How can I convert user apps to system-app's so they are visible to all the users ?

G
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXx yYy:
System-apps ( apps such as camera, settings, messages, Google Play Store, etc. ) are apps Andoid needs to flawlessly run. Converting user-apps to system-apps doesn't make any sense, IMO. The only benefit of a system application is that the app cannot be removed from the device ( cannot be uninstalled by the user ).

But it would make sense to convert an user-app to a privilieged-app.

Example code

adb devices
adb push my-app.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
remount
cd /sdcard
mv my-app.apk /system/priv-app
exit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghatothkach:
I dont think that works for Android 13, the directory structure for app apk's seems to have changed. I know this used to work in older versions...

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 454806 2008-12-31 19:00 /system/priv-app/Shell/Shell.apk

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1250865 2008-12-31 19:00 /system/priv-app/NetworkStack/NetworkStack.apk

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghatothkach:
I actually tried what you suggested, but it did not work. Can you confirm it works on your end with Andoid 13 based roms ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoKoschekk:
Forget the change to a system app.

The APK directory /data/app is accessible for all users. It's not restricted for the users like /data/user/0. This directory is only accessible for user0.

To install an app for i.e. user10, then you need an directory for that app in /data/user/10. That's all. To create this directory user10 has to install this app. User10 won't download and install a new APK, but he/she will create this folder and the app is installed for him/her.

Just tonight 4/27/23...got my update -- watch is SM R920. Post update, Software version is R920XXU1AWB1 System version 11, Wear ver 3.5 Wear core services 1.4.69.512673544. Update took about 20 minutes after the download. Seems like SpO2 is better than before, used to have to measure it with a finger now it appears to work on my wrist. I can (so far) find nowhere that body temperature is available or enabled. As a side note I am in Ecuador FWTW as far as regional settings/restrictions go.

Couple notes. Reboot after the last reboot thats part of the software update is a must. Trying to do anything without a manual reboot on mine was very laggy. The reboot helped. Seems on mine that SpO2 and ECG are definitely better but on stress and SpO2 the display seems a little laggy......also when charging the time display, batt % and time to full are different than before, larger and at center screen, something I personally like. Also note that the security patch is 2023-04-01.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Srbija2012:
So is mine, but mine is AWD6
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
This is truly weird. When I did the post mine was AWB1. Now it shows AWD6 same as what you see. thanks for this info. I am reading...and was reading...the information from the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone. Truly amazing. Without your kind reply I never would have spotted this.

Regards and thanks again.

An addendum. I have thin wrists, have always had problems with SpO2 since purchase....to the point where I finally gave up trying to read it with the watch on my wrist. Reading SpO2 with the watch on the same finger I use my monitor on....the watch would agree within a point. Before the update when it would read at all it would consistently be sometimes 5 points off. Since the update the watch so far reads reliably on my wrist and is within a point of the monitor. Additionally the watch seems more reliable reading ECG than before less poor reading messages with the necessity to read ECG again. Only thing I wish is the temperature sensor was enabled in the new update. Otherwise most excellent so far from Samsung. Will be interesting to see how battery life compares.

I quite a bit of CS experience and work in IT but mostly stick to desktops and enterprise networking

I have never done anything "interesting" with my phone, no sideloading, no 3rd party bootloaders, ROMs or OSs, haven't even unlocked it. My phone was running stock OEM OS

After this most recent crash it is stuck at bootup

No bootable A/B Slot
Failed to boot Linux,falling back to fastboot

[Samsung Galaxy S23] Rod F:
I've got two questions which are related. I have Do Not Disturb on my phone set up to start each night at 10 PM, and not go off until 8 AM the next day. For some reason I've been awaken several mornings, early in the morning (between 4 and 5 AM). A single beep as if it's coming from a social media app with someone informing me that they've posted a picture of their toenail clippings. Why am I getting these EXTREMELY IRRITATING NOTIFICATIONS??????????????????????????

Second question. I have tried to find what notification it is that comes through in the wee hours of the morning, but it is impossible for me to find it, unless I spend hours scrolling through all notifications in the Notifications center. That's because the default sort order is by category. Is it possible to change the default sort order to chronological order, with most recent at the top? That would help immensely.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] aktiv8d:
You didn't mention searching Settings. Did you search there for that feature's keyword?

It comes up quickly with the keyword search as disturb.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Rod F:
Excellent question. I didn't search Settings because I thought all settings had been transferred by Samsung's Smart Switch app, when I migrated things off my old phone to my new phone. I know that other settings had been migrated, so I thought all settings had been migrated. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. It turns out that the Do Not Disturb settings had not been migrated. In fact, it wasn't even turned on. So, I turned that on and reset the dates/times. So, my bad. However, like I said, other settings had been moved. I hadn't considered the possibility that not all settings hadn't been migrated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Romi14:
@Rod F it's possible, but you need GoodLock. After you download GoodLock you have to download QuickStar module for Goodlock and there you can change the notification sorting.
