[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
Right, not part of a dirty flash. But since I was going from the crdroid Gapps version to their currently only available non-gapps version, I decided to start clean.

As for Xposed modules, I'm using AOSPmods, which is similar to Gravitybox if you've ever used it in the past. I'm also using Xposed edge, which allows gesture and button customizations.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Yup, that's what made me switch from cr :D

I wouldn't mind if I had to flash gapps separately every time, afterall, that's how it used to work back in the days, but then sometimes there are only gapps builds, which aren't compatible with vanilla+mindthegapps, so I just gave up for the time being.

I can't believe I haven't come across AOSPmods yet, I've looked into it briefly, will definitely give it a try if I'm dissatisfied with my current custom ROM. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 6a] lallolu:
Many custom ROMs have many options (which is good) but potentially introduce some instabilities, therefore I have been on stock for some time. And I use modules to add the features I would like to have.

If rooted, AOSPmods is highly recommended (a must, for me) since many options in custom ROMs exist in the module.

For call recording, I use BCR.

For unlimited photos, I use the submodule.

For double tap to sleep, there is a module with the name.

For face unlock, I use the universal face unlock module.

Then there is YouTube and YouTube music revanced modules.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
So are most features in custom ROMs essentially just baked in xposed modules?
[Google Pixel 6a] lallolu:
I have wondered that too, but I am not sure. Maybe they cherry-pick the same commits.
[Google Pixel 6a] Ekaksh Janweja:
Can we get pixel experience plus for pixel 6a??
[Google Pixel 6a] whoami_00:
do you have any suggestions, I want the performance to be like the default ROM, but there are additional features such as face unlock, aod, being able to change the clock theme and so on, like a pixel experience
[Google Pixel 6a] muneeb rizwan:
can you kindly provide the link for velocity rom have been looking for it for quite some time on this fourm and nothing seems to appear if i search velocity on telegram
[Google Pixel 6a] Ekaksh Janweja:
Hi I just wanted some advice: which ROM should I flash my requirements are

1. Best Battery Life

2. Unlimited Google Photos without root

3. Baning Apps work fine

4. some amount of customisation will be a plus
[Google Pixel 6a] Alldayismokebomb:
I don't think it's possible to have unlimited g photos with out root. and how does that work. does it not count against a Google one back up plan?

I would like to know witch one has best battery life because mine lately has been terrible. charging takes forever and battery drain is crazy. I am on a12 root . because I've been afraid to update . hear alot of ppl bricking their devices doing so....
[Google Pixel 6a] Alldayismokebomb:
yeah I'm on stock 12 rooted with majestic. and use the moduals as well. would love for a rom to incorporate revanced into it . do you think the face unlock uses a lot of battery power because I've been noticing quite a bit of drain and my phone and it's doesn't charge very fast as well. it's takes forever to charge
[Google Pixel 6a] lallolu:
From what i could observe, the face unlock uses very little battery power and it doesn't drain the battery. You can monitor your app battery usage with Accubattery or battery guru to see which apps are draining your battery. Why are you on A12 by the way? That is so old. Try to update to A14 when it is out though, as it is much better than A12 and A13 on battery usage.
[Google Pixel 6a] ScubadooX:
LineageOS 20 with MindTheGapps works well on my Google Pixel 4 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 9. I have to use Magisk with Play Integrity Fix to enable contactless payments with Google Wallet. I was using PixelExperience 13+ on my P4 until it was deprecated in August. The nice thing abut PE 13+ was that it supported contactless payments with Google Wallet out of the box.
[Google Pixel 6a] lukeprokopec:
which rom has the best battery life?
[Google Pixel 6a] ScubadooX:
Many if not most custom ROMs are built on top of LineageOS. Have you tried GrapheneOS?
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Thats really sad if true. ROM's should be built off of pure AOSP. Kanging other peoples ROM's is lame.
[Google Pixel 6a] DaeDae<3:
There is not, and absolutely will never be a magisk module for anything Revanced. For legal reasons, they have a manager which you then use to patch a certain version of YouTube yourself. Distribution is illegal and so is Revanced in general but as long as you don't do anything illegal yourself you have nothing to worry about when using it.
[Google Pixel 6a] lallolu:
I have been using YouTube and YouTube music revanced magisk modules for more than one year.
[Google Pixel 6a] DaeDae<3:
No, straight from the Devs. There will never exist anything outside of the normal install steps for Revanced. Vanced has magisk modules but is no longer supported because Google shut down the project. ReVanced will not have officially magisk modules as of current information.
[Google Pixel 6a] retry0001-coffee:
Same. But where is the official LOS forum on XDA for it? I subscribe to official LOS for all my other phones. Like the latest weekly build is overdue by two days. Where is the discussion about it?
[Google Pixel 6a] lukeprokopec:
they have a week without a release sometimes
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Man Nass:
Kindly How can I upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S5 to the latest version?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Use Odin to flash the latest firmware. You can find that firmware on Sammobile or use Frija to download it.

The latest factory firmware for the SM-S902L is Android 4.4.2.

The only option to run a newer version of Android is with a custom ROM. However, be aware that older devices may not be powerful enough to run newer Android versions.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Godhelpmetofindananswer:
so do you want to flash the latest firmware by Samsung or are you taking about custom firmware
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Godhelpmetofindananswer:
if you are taking about custom firmware then this is the latest rom for your device and if you dont know how to unlock the bootloader and flash just search for it on xda or youtube (if you need video guides) your wlcm btw https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-lineageos-20-0-android-13.4498857/
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NattaDew:
I have a Pixel 6 Pro and need help in finding a code for USB setting mode.

I tried *0808# but it didn't work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
Do you mean developer options? just go to settings > about phone and scroll down to the bottom

Tap 'build number' until a toast popup says 'you are now a developer'
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NattaDew:
No, I mean Diag port , RNDIS . it seem like when I dial *#0808# on Samsung phone .

then, I got an option for USB mode.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] klark1kent:
Same. Not working for me either
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Renate:
You can try setprop sys.usb.config rndis,adb

Of course, since Android USB Gadget config is brain dead you'll have to see if such a "recipe" actually exists in a .rc

Each stupid recipe has to be stated explicitly and even worse, once for without configfs and once with.

You might have mass_storage,adb but probably don't have adb,mass_storage
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NattaDew:
I tried setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb, but nothing happened.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NattaDew:
I think setprop sys.usb.config command works fine with Qualcomm chipsets.

Pixel 6 pro using Google tensor chipset. therefore, it may need to using a difference command

Please let us know if you have any ideas.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Renate:
I never said that it would.

Did you grep all the .rc files for "diag,adb". It's probably not in there.

You also have to have the "diag" USB gadget supported.

How to list the supported USB gadgets? You can't, you can only try them.

This is not SoC dependent. getprop | grep usb

AFAIK /dev/diag and the diag USB gadget are Qualcomm specific.

I know less than nothing about Exynos/Tensor.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NattaDew:
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
[XPERIA X1 General] larzulu:
Hello All,

I was just wondering if anyone has any input or has updated the google maps app for the Xperia. I hear the current version is 2.3.2 while the preload on the xperia is 2.0.someting.

What are the steps to update?
[XPERIA X1 General] johnchan78:
I just downloaded it straight from Google, and installed over the existing version, no problems.
[XPERIA X1 General] larzulu:
The upgrade is very simple.

I just uninstalled the old google maps then installed the new version. The new version has some nice updates for favorites and street cams. I like it
[XPERIA X1 General] Draqula:
I didn't uninstall the old version before installing a new one. In that way you can keep your old favorite locations.

Another question about google maps:

I use google maps with GPS. When I finish using it I exit google maps.

The next time I use google maps, it first positions me by gsm towers, not very accurately, but as best as it is possible by network - correct position.

The problem: When I switch to "use gps", it starts looking for satellites and at that time it moves my location to the last place I had gps lock which might be hundreds of kilometres away from my real location. Only when it finally finds satellites, it corrects my assumed location to the real location.

With previous versions it kept my "gsm position" until it could find the satellites.

Anyone else have experienced this with google maps? It's quite annoying...

While writing this post, I started thinking if me not uninstalling the old version before installing the new one, could be the problem...
[XPERIA X1 General] mo.ammi:
Have you had any luck?
[XPERIA X1 General] Draqula:
I did a hard reset cause I messed up my X1 with too much tweaking. Now it seems to be working ok.

EDIT: Sometimes still, when it takes some time to get a fix, it shows me the wrong position while searching for sattelites. Then when it gets a fix, it jumps to the right location.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linux_praiser:
Recently, I discovered that I had this old device in my drawers so I decided to take it out to see if I could get it running. It wasn't charging or turning on at all, so I took the back off and replaced battery and connector, nothing. So, after plugging it in to my computer, I noticed a weird device named "CLOVERVIEW", which searching that up, is usually associated with ASUS devices, which is really weird. I followed a guide to repair a dead boot, using a zip file provided here.

I put the files into the correct spots in Phone Flash Tool 4.4.4, yet I only receive an error when flashing. It appears the IFW file flashes fine, but the DnX FW does not. Log provided below.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] kirolywas:
So my Mi 9T pro (6GB RAM 128GB model) started having charging issues a while ago. It stopped fast charging at first. Then after a while, whenever I put the phone to charge, it froze up and restarted. only then it would start charging. So every time I want to charge my phone, It freezes up, restarts and then starts slow charging. really slow. Phone is out of warranty so I went to a repair shop. They said they tried swapping the charging board. But the issue was still there. So they suggested I replace the motherboard. They didn't have any stock for this particular model. So I'm going to order one online.

My question is, I currently have the 6GB 128GB model. can I replace this motherboard with the 8GB RAM 256GB motherboard?? They are basically the same price. so I want to know if they are interchangeable.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] zgfg:
Xiaomi does not release different ROMs for the same device with different memory config.

Releases are different per of course phone models, regions, MIUI versions etc, but there are no ROM zip files on the repositories with different memory sizes in their names

The same for custom ROMs

Don't know does the ROM check for the memory config at the boot time or when installing/updating the ROM

But when you change your motherboard you will nevertheless have to flash the Fastboot ROM (clean install option) - I didn't test similarly but pretty sure that it wouldn't boot with new motherboard (new chipsets with different keys, IDs, and so) but without reflashing

[G1 General] Hissing Syd:
I am looking to replace my trusty Hermes, and the two contenders are the Iphone and the G1.

One of my essential requirements is to be able to open a Word doc, and then search for a key word. In Windows Mobile, this can be done via Menu, Edit, Find/Replace.

I have now discovered that this is not possible on the Iphone, which can merely read a Word doc. So the Iphone is, for me, a non-starter.

Can someone please tell me whether this word search can be conducted on a G1?

No search. As of now the only thing the g1 can do with .doc files in view them in the browser in google docs.

[Google Pixel tablet] TheAvatar:
Hi All,

Just got my pixel tab and I need to push some config files in to Kodi's app data folder but am getting permission denied and cant use any file explorers on the tab to copy, same issue.

Have googled a bit and tried some of the workarounds, set my file explorers to allow system modifications under the app info page and still no dice.

Anyone have a working workaround for this? I primarily bought this thing to run Kodi on, so if I cant do something as simple as this with it... I wont be happy.

TIA

EDIT: Managed to use Kodi's internal file explorer to copy the config files, but question still stands if anyone has an answer, sure I will need to do something similar in the future.

To install GMS ( also snappy called GApps ), they need to be "flashed" to the /system partition (or you need root powers to place them manually).

To access the Google Play Store GMS Core must get installed first. You may use "GMS Core installer".

BTW: You can use YalpStore instead of Google Play Store: https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore
