[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Yeedatoy:
What are you looking for specifically? There's not really much info on e/os on the pixel 5. It works well, but the development is slow. Why e/os over similar projects with updated android versions like Graphene, Calyx, Copperhead?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] raj.ify:
e/os is not daily drivable, recommend not to install.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
e/os was recommended to me by Marcel Bokhorst, the author of XPrivacy.

But as it seems, I had bad luck with the phone I bought:

The "OEM unlock" is greyed out and I know of no way to unlock the bootloader.

It currently runs on Android13 and last update was Dec. '22.

My intention behind all this was to have a de-googled phone because I [CENSORED] this

tracking and spying and "owning" a device, which I cannot control to 100%.

Anything else I can do to achieve this?

PS: My phone may be is one of these [CENSORED] Verizon devices. It was originally packaged

and as it seems never used before...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Where did you buy your phone? Ebay? A retailer?

Is there a keyword "Locked" or "Unlocked" anywhere on the website?

If the product listing didn't mention anything about it being carrier locked, I suggest requesting a refund or a replacement.

The "OEM Unlock" greyed-out is most definitely due to it being a carrier locked device and you're out of luck.

Also, if you truly want a de-googled OS, I recommend Graphene OS. https://grapheneos.org/
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
Not to give you false hope but did you connect to wifi on your first time through setup? If you don't, OEM unlock will be greyed out, regardless.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
Hi Alex,

(NOT meant as any form of criticism or complaint... :) )

...I am a little confused here.

Other posts (not necessarily on this forum...can't remember) say: "Pull out the simcard, disable Wifi and DON'T contact anything, only skip through the setup..."

At the moment I only have a simcard of the wrong size...but I enabled Wifi but did not update anything in fear of getting an even stronger patch to disable any form of tinkering.

But as I am still having a locked "OEM unlocking" and a locked bootloader I am open for any kind of tinkering to get

this damn thing freed.

Would these steps ok:

Start the phone,

Setup lockscreen, dark theme, etc..

enable Wifi and download all updates, install updates

Ok? Or what would you suggest? :)

Cheers!

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
If you're not going to lose data or your not afraid of it, I would:

Factory reset without sim card in

When phone reboots, start setup

Don't put sim in but do connect to wifi

Skip through setup if you want and check if oem unlock is available

I'm not sure of the instructions you have, maybe that's what people believe for Verizon phones but you're not sure if you have one, correct?

Here's my experience:

I have several pixels, all unlocked. If I flash back to stock firmware and skip through setup without connecting to wifi, OEM unlock is greyed out. If I connect wifi on the first time through, it's available.

I've also heard this in tech videos. However, it won't work with Verizon phones. But if yours isn't Verizon, this could be the reason you're not able to unlock.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
Hi Alex,

thank you :) for all your help! By the way: Are there any definite proofs for "my smartphone is a Verizon one" ?

I will try what you wrote and will be back with the result.

Two things came into my mind:

- Shall I install updates/upgrades if offered?

- Would downgrading (if even possible) via Chrome and the "Flash" feature on the Google page with all these images help, if I have a Verizon jail?

Cheers!

Etymotics
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
There may be a way but I'm not entirely sure, perhaps Google well help. I do seem to remember something about the IEMI but that may have been older models.

I wouldn't upgrade anything after setup and it shouldn't offer anything during.

As far as I know, downgrading won't help but I don't think you could from the Google page, as it requires an unlocked bootloader
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
Hi Alex,

I will try, what you wrote without updating anything ... will be back then...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
Hi Alex,

no...unfortunately it does not help to connect to wifi...the "OEM unlock" is still grayed out.

Now....I wanted a de-googled phone to keep my privacy...instead I got a phone which is the

exact opposite. Unfortunately the cost of that thing remains the same...

Anything else, I can try?

Cheers!

Hi guys, I've been trying to find a ROM that's just basically an English WM6.1 ROM - no extras, just the bare necessities. Is there one available? All I can seem to find are tweaked ROMs with a bunch of extra features I don't need, and mods I don't want...

-edit- Screw that, I was just looking in the wrong place. Guess I should've just looked in the ROM directory :)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] chriskay:
i will take the liberty to recommend this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=386050 as the version you are using has some minor bugs. I fumbled around quite a lot with Cloudyfa's roms since they are the best in my eyes. but i as well don't like all this crapware on my machine. i love choosing for myself. that's why i finally made my own mod and would call it probably the closest to "original" if there was an official wm6.1 release for the prophet.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] arefin:
...AND its my great pleasure to acknowledge chriskay's claim with fullest contentment.....that, Chriskay's revived is the best of 6.1 CLEAN ROMs around which have no bugs so far (I have been using it for loOOOng time). I switch to other ROMs for fun because there are realy good ones out there.

BUT considering CLEAN and STABLE - there is few choices,

1. Inteks v3 and v5 series (fastest of all ROMs, have bugs, need many customization before using)

2. Chriskays Merge revived (No bugs, stable, fast)

3. l3vsy is ROM (mentioned above in #2) have bugs: bluetooth activesync failed for me - I like to stay on my sofa and do things using my PDA through activesync via BT, so no go for me! Except for that, it's good one, very fast (er > chriskay)

So, I really have no clouds in my mind declaring chriskay's ROM as the favourite one for me.

Hope you find your dream ROM soon!

Hi Chriskay,

What minor bugs are you thinking of? I haven't found any yet. I'm just glad to finally have a ROM that doesn't crash every few hours :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] chriskay:
as far as i remember, infrared did not work and the keypad backlight did not switch on again once it went off.

there is a fix for IR floating around the forum, but the kepad backlight cannot be fixed so easily. that's why Cloudyfa put out a new rom with this issue corrected.

apart from that, i cannot remember anything. as i said: only minor bugs (if you don't use IR).

It’s because this variant has Sprint modem and most people have Exynos modem variant. So, they can not make custom roms for the device they do not have. I have LineageOS for G9250 fully working if you are interested in but it’s Android 7.1.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] cxantia:
Hello folks,

I am a beginner. Sorry if it's a stupid question.

I want to include a file when compiling a custom rom with Lineage OS. It should be under "/sys/module/dwc3/parameters", named "aca_enable" and contain a "Y".

How can I build this into the sources so that it is already there after flashing?

I've already searched the web, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for replies in advance!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] sn00x:
This is not a normal file. Kernel modules expose flags under /sys/module/<module-name> which can be changed by file operations. Pretty common under linux to have such interfaces (e.g. procfs).

I can't give you a complete answer, but can probably point you in the right direction: You need to do some research on init.rc. Basically you need to set a rule in an .rc file in /system/etc/init. (Or compile a new kernel / the dwc3 module and set a new default value)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] cxantia:
Hello, many thank you for the answer!

Yes I understand. These files are created and modified at runtime. Then I know where to look. An example would be best. "Copy and Paste" is a popular method. ;-)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] cxantia:
First try - quick and dirty - did not work.

I put the following lines into the system/core/rootdir/init.usb.rc (lineageos sources):

# Set /sys/module/dwc3/parameters/aca_enable to "Y"

write /sys/module/dwc3/parameters/aca_enable Y

After compiling the ROM, flashing it on the device and boot the device the file /sys/module/dwc3/parameters/aca_enable contain a "N".

On the Spartphone the file /etc/init/hw/init.usb.rc contains the modified lines.

In the modified file dwc3_otg.c i can't find anything that write a "N".

Maybe someone has an idea or an alternative?

(Here is the source code of dwc3_otg.c https://github.com/sollapse/opo_dwc3_otg/)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] sn00x:
Well, just change 0 to 1 in line 42.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] cxantia:

Has anyone else had an issue with their HD turning itself on unexpectedly. The other day I noticed my HD on my desk with the screen on. So I short pressed the power button to turn the screen off and put it back down.

A few minutes later it was sitting there with the screen on again.

A while later the same thing and this time when I short pressed the power button it would sort of flicker but not switch off.

A soft reset stopped it happening and then a few days later it started again.

[Touch HD General] ardsar:
Have you tried setting up a "fake" server in activesync to stop the periodic sync.

In activesync click add server source, fill out all the fields (with random stuff), once you have created the server profile, you can then change the automatic check to manual. Once done, you can then delete the server that you have just added.

There are other ways to do this - ie phonealarm has options under profile to set activesync to manual etc. There are also many discussions to disable activesync on this forum.

Thanks for the ROM, it works well from what I've tried so far and I haven't encountered any issues.

I tried a phone call and the 'Record call' option wasn't available. However do note that this comes with the stock Google Dialer app found on Pixel devices and I believe call recording through the Google Dialer only works with certain countries + certain carriers. It didn't work for me, ymmv.
