Every time I press the home button it tells me that action is not allowed and I should go to Parental Controls.

I got rid of Fire Launcher and have Lean Launcher in its place. Everything works fine except the home button.

How can I get the home button fixed?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11977573:
I mean, maybe you can create a custom kernel for this device, you know maybe over clocking the GPU,

And is it really not possible to make a 64bit ROM for device? I saw some one on the other thread that it is not possible due to needing a lot of resources to work

It does have a 64bit processor

Maybe a custom kernel will help?

The specs are at the attach ments.

So I've made this group where you can find anything for Xiaomi 11t including a proper way to run Trebledroid GSIs on your device. Also we'll guide you how to install magisk and lsposed. I'd like if you helped me build TWRP for my device because there are currently only 2 TWRPs working on this device. One is Android 11 and the other is 12.1 but we all would like TWRP which would work on Android 13 and system would boot. But a 12.1 TWRP only boots to recovery not to system so I'm sending a link to our group

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] ChriMo:
I received a SM-A515F (under the backcover near the USB-C connector) where I know nothing about the history. When connecting a USB-C nothing happens, tried different cables and Loading trafos etc.

The screen has some smaller cracks, but not massive. The backcover is removable - probably forced open on the glued areas.

When pressing the power button nothing happens.

So I wonder can I do something else or is the phone just dead?
[Xiaomi 11T] Stephanizgo:
So how do I start... I'm scared this thread will be removed because of my not good knowledge about the rules anyways I'll be still supporting anyone on XDA who replies. So i made this telegram group. I don't force you to join it it's up to you and the mods if they'll close this thread as always. This thread will be about how is the TWRP development for Android 13 going so far I'll update you with anything

[Touch HD General] hausen:
Something strange happened:

On my HD I've been in the BT settings menu in the "Device" Tab, and by accident i've selected the computer to which i normally connect for active sync via bt (which had been working so far). normally you should see the services provided by the device, which was "serial port" and "active sync". Suddenly, the "active sync" service disappeared from the list, and although i didn't click on the "save" button, the AS service didn't come back.

I've deleted the BT connection ("partnership") between PC and HD and tried to re-establish it several times, starting from both PC and HD, without success. I alway get a connection, but I only get the "serial port" service, and AS doesn't work. I've also set the correct com port given in the bluetooth device setup for "incoming connection" on the PC to AS on the PC... no success.

I've also re-installed my PC BT-drivers, but also without success. I just don't want to re-install AS, as the partnership to the HD is deleted then and I'm afraid that it messes up with my contacts and appointments...

Syncing via USB cable still works at least, but I'd really like to have back my bluetooth active sync service.

Any ideas?

regards jan
[Touch HD General] scheller2:
I had this problem as well. I tried all the suggestions I could find in the forums with no success. Finally I did a hard reset on the phone - that solved the problem... but then the problem appeared again a week later.

After tinkering quite a bit I finally found a solution: First I unpaired all my devices from the Touch HD. Then I went into the registry \\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth and removed the folders "activesync" and "serial".

After repairing my computer with the HD I got the activesync option back.
[Android General] Tom Mix:
hello world

unfortunately one sees more and more so called 'custom roms' including GApps by default 🤷‍♂️

this brings up a question: is this legal?

as an example reading:

SOURCE: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps

or something like this:

SOURCE: https://opengapps.org/#aboutsection

one can even read:

SOURCE: https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-apps-gapps/

as i am not an expert i hope this post can help to answer the question.

furthermore it will help to create some kind of orientation.
[Android General] karandpr:
Hmm...

As far as XDA is concerned. We allow gapps in ROM.

The gapps thing was between Cyanogenmod and Google.

It's legal to run those apps on devices whose manufacturers signed up with Google.

On other devices, it was not allowed by Google

CyanogenMod had a device that was not CTS compatible so they received DMCA which prevented them from distributing ROMs with gapps.

So it depends on whom you are asking.

You can argue, "If you have purchased a device and the manufacturer has paid a license to run Gapps then you can run those gapps on your device. "

or you can argue "Google has allowed you to run gapps only on firmware approved by google so you shouldn't run gapps"

Regardless they have systems in place to prevent you from not using apps like Gpay via PlayIntegrity/SafetyNet.
[Android General] Tom Mix:
@karandpr

the vast majority of all xda-topics are about:

gpay/safetynet not working help urgent now!!!

so one can asume, it ist prevented by g and so not legal ❓ 🤷‍♂️

please be so kind and help me find one so called 'custom-rom-gapps-included'

that can provide a proper licensed gapps 🕵️‍♂️
[Android General] karandpr:
You can still access play store to download apps.

You can use apps that don't use SafetyNet.

Just because apps throw attestation failure doesn't mean it is illegal to run gapps.

SafetyNet | PlayIntegrity matches device firmware and root status.

Once you unlock Bootloader ,SafetyNet can flag it as Unsafe.

This is an old article on how safetynet works but the base of how it works is similar.

SafetyNet: Google's tamper detection for Android · Yiannis Kozyrakis ~ blog

thoughts on mobile security

koz.io

Technically SafetyNet is an API that is used by other apps to detect whether phone is rooted/BL unlocked or not.

Let's say you have a BL locked phone which runs Stock Android 13, and then you have a BL Unlocked phone which runs the same firmware.

However, in the later case SafetyNet will throw attestation failure.

Thats how safetynet is supposed to work./
[Android General] alecxs:
I found a quite old article but it explains why the majority of AOSP ROMs are licensed when flashed onto compatible devices.

There are two kinds of Android forks - 'compatible' and 'non-compatible'. 'Compatible' Android forks are those that are based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP); comply with the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD); and pass the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS).

'Compatible' forks may or may not include Google apps (gApps) or Google Play Services, but, because they're 'compatible', gApps and Play Services can be sideloaded or added later by users, meaning they can participate fully in the Play app ecosystem. Examples include CyanogenMod and the MIUI OS.

Google-certified CyanogenMod phones Oppo N1 and the OnePlus one have passed Google’s CTS and CDD, meaning that they officially run Google's apps and access the Google Play Store out of the box.

'Non-compatible' forks are built on AOSP, but are built to run their own ecosystems. Examples of 'non-compatible' Android devices include the Amazon Fire phone and the Blackphone with PrivatOS.

source: https://deviceatlas.com/blog/android-forks-why-google-can-rest-easy-for-now

As I understand, CyanogenMod haven't lost a lawsuit, they simply stepped back preventive of the power of Google.

My conclusion, if one is able to install GMS/Play Services, the device is compatible - hence legal.
[Android General] Tom Mix:
@alecxs

very interesting article at deviceatlas! thanks for the link (y)

the most interesting part is:

indeed no lawsuit just:

so flashing afterwards is okay, but not distributing with custom-rom ⁉️ 🤷‍♂️
[Android General] JovialQuestion:
All those post sound to me like Liability Notices that if you use Gapps. They are not liable for any of the content given or damage to you. So They don't get sued for content you download from it or basically any liability that could develop. In so many words. You can't sue them if you use the unlicensed apps and the content creators can't sue them and have to sue you the user instead if you obtain from their service paid content. So idk. If you want the answer to this I'd call a lawyer or just don't use Google services and avoid all apps that require the use of Google and you shouldn't have a issue.
[Android General] alecxs:
both is fine on compatible forks.
[Android General] Tom Mix:
@alecxs

maybe it is a language-barrier on my side but the article

and the other sources state that it cant be bundeled,

though flashed afterwards 🤷‍♂️

even the g-lawyers said no! and bundled distribution was omitted. 🔎

and regarding LOS in particular one can assume that

the distribution of 'LOS-roms' including gapps is not allowed 🤷‍♂️ 🔔
[Android General] alecxs:
It doesn't matter what google lawyer says. As long as there is no court verdict nothing prohibits you to bundle gapps for compatible devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Claus1001:
Hi,

I have changed from my aged Galaxy S9+ to the brandnew S23 Ultra. I am using extensively the S23 Ultra as an AccessPoint. - as I did with the S9+ before - perfectly working - without any troublei n more than 5 years.

Besides that Selinux is taking a lot of (network) functionalities from TERMUX which I was used to before, I am totally disapointed in addition by some S23 Ultra (Android ?) inconveniences:

Supposed the S23 Ultra (shortly S23U) is spanning an AdHoc WiFi for 2 ESP32 MCs and two (old) S9+ Galaxy Smartphones and my Notebook. All nodes are visible with their MACs and IP numbers in the extended S23U Hotspot config menue - so far so good!

Internet Access is given! Of course they are fully accessible by the S23u+.

BUT ...

1. inconvenience: The last two IP network portions of the Hotspot are not static any more. Example - the address is generated exemplarily as 192.168.xxx.yyy, whereas xxx and yyy are given randomly after activating the S23U Hotspot functionality - it is not static defined any more, as it was the behavior before in the Galaxy S9+ world (always 192.168.43.0/24 or 192.168.60.0/24).

2. inconvenience: I am using extensively openSHH. Logging into the S23U from my Notebook via winscp works perfectly. But the two S9+ are not accessible any more via openSSH from my notebook.

Also the nmap view initiated on each S9+ only lists the S23U IP address (and their own adddress), but not the addresses of the other nodes - (although they are fully accessible from the S23U). Internet Access of the 2 S9+ via S23U (as hotSpot) is fine!

And now the most crazy magic:

Sometimes the restrictions of the 2nd inconvenience are totally gone ... all works fine - alle 5 nodes in the network can see and access eachother ... !!!

Then I can login via winscp into each S9+ .... and also do see the IoT devices and my notebook via nmap being processed on the two s9+ ...

For me this seems to be a temporary (random) HotSpot routing problem in the S23U (or in the latest Android version?) ?

Or is this a (known) bug or a "sophisticated" feature of the S23U programmers in order to annoy Android or S23U Users?

And why did this crazy programmers change form the static subnetwork adresses now to random network numbers philosophy ? What shall the benefit be ....?

Or ist the 2. inconvenience a further side effect of the well known Wifi problems of the S23U which pops up everywhere in the Internet criticisms?

What do you think? Have you made similar experiences, please ?

Any hint, any advice, any link, ... is pretty much appreciated!

Thanks very much for reading.

BR Claus.

How to install on other variants (must have msm8916 snapdragon 410 soc) ?

It will most probably work just fine but display will not work. You will have to add panel driver to the kernel. See the wiki or join the matrix room for help.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] martyp78:
Hi all,

I know Samsung states the max capacity card for the S8 is 256GB but with the prices falling I'm strongly considering a 512GB card.

My current one is a Samsung Evo Plus 256GB card (red and grey version).

The new 512GB Evo Plus (grey one) looks to be faster and has A2 support and under £40 now. Mymemory also suggests it is compatible but unsure if they have actually tested it themselves.

As the S8 supports SDXC and exfat and believed to be UHS-1 bus it looks like the new Samsung Evo Plus 512GB might be good?

I did consider a newer model but not a fan that newer phones don't tend to support storage expansion and it's all cloud now. I like the files on the phone as I back them up at home.

Just wanted to post that out to see whether the 512gb samsung evo may be a good idea?

Many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Not sure if that will work or not. I've read about people using larger than speced memory and it working on other phones.

I use the Sandisk Extreme .5 and 1tb V30 rated cards with my N10+'s. Zero issues. Get write speeds of 4gb@minute going from internal to card.

Consider upgrading to a N10+, these are fast, capable phones with one one the best displays out there. After this flagship Samsung starts losing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] martyp78:
Thanks blackhawk, I was thinking that their limitation on size was based on what was available for them to test with at the time so maybe couldn't test 512gb at the time of manufacture (2017 or so). I know at some point I'll definitely need to move on when the OS becomes really obsolete, the battery isn't holding charge for long, I have to take power banks with me to get through a day!

I'll check out the N10+ as I think if I wanted a Galaxy with micro SD support the best I'd be looking at is an A53?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WoKoschekk:
I assume it depends on the default cluster size for exFAT:

7 MB-256 MB	4 KB
256 MB-32 GB	32 KB
32 GB-256 TB	128 KB

https://support.microsoft.com/topic...nd-exfat-9772e6f1-e31a-00d7-e18f-73169155af95

I think for that reason Android formats sd cards up to 32GB in FAT32 while sd cards 64GB+ are formatted in exFAT. So - in theory - every Android should accept sd cards up to 256TB (cluster size 128KB) as long as min. 64GB is compatible according to the manufacturer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] martyp78:
Excellent thanks, I did wonder if there could be any limitations if it supports exfat and sdxc. I'll hold off from 1tb but might be intrigued if anyone does try that size.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] NigrumTredecim:
sd card sizes are mostly just recomendations,

i run a 400gb sandisk ultra in my s3 wich oficially supports up to 64gb, only downside is that it takes 15mins to recognize the card, after that everything works as it should, get about 12mb/s out of the card

also run a 512gb samsung card in my a5(2017) wich is specified with up to 256gb supported with no problems
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] martyp78:
Great, thanks for confirming. Useful also as my other half has an A5(2017) and I also have an S3 and an S5.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You could replace the battery, not that big a deal.

Not sure about which of the midrange Samsung's is top of the lot.

The N10+ trumps the new midrange Samsungs except no variable refresh rate display and no 5G (probably should avoid the 5G variant). New N10+'s N975U1 (Android 10) can still be had new from a reliable vendor for $700. PM me if you want his site link. Used used ones for half that price. You may need to replace the battery but it's not a big deal.

The Snapdragon variants (N975U, N975U1) have the best hardware but can't be rooted. They run the fastest and coolest.

Most used ones will be loaded with Android 11 or 12 with the scoped storage nonsense. I prefer Android 9. I have two N10+'s; one running on 9, the newest is running on 10. Android 10 runs ok and scoped storage isn't fully implemented. I bought the second one new in part to avoid Android 11/12.

If you buy used beware of scammers. Use known good vendors only. Test the display with ScreenTest as soon as you get recieve it. The display should be perfect. Then test the cams, spen, connectivity, card slot and so on.

Use a Sandisk Extreme V30 rated card; they're fast and are very reliable.

Use a Zizo Bolt case to protect it otherwise it will get damaged; these are heavy, corner hitting phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] martyp78:
Excellent, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome. Check out the N10+ forum. There's lots of information there. Also Android 10 no rollback to 9, Android 11 no rollback to 10, however Android 12 probably can be rolled back to 11.

These work horses are just a joy to use. Once optimized they run very well stock, are extremely stable and long lived. The N10+ is exponentially faster than the N9 but the flagships that followed to N10+ don't see that leapfrog speed increase in most real time usage.
