What the fuss is about is that people ask the same question day in and day out and people answer questions, only to have them asked again and again...the link given is the best place to look...look at other members signatures and see where they are and what radio they are using...secondly try some of them...it doesnt take but a minute to flash from radio to radio...Also, the quality of the radio is different due to numerous factors, programs you use, area you are in, rom you use etc...so it is too hard to determine what is the best...I personally have tested 5 different radios and always come back to the one in my signature..

Check my signature for the radio thread and what my opinion is of a good radio......PM some people or look in their signature and you can tell which radio they like and are using...I am currently testing 4 different radios, but always come back to the one in my signature...

Mount the ISO File in Windows 11, 10, or 8.1​

Open File Explorer and right-click on the ISO-file. From the pop-up menu, select the Mount command. This will open a virtual drive that is visible in File Explorer, from which you can install the driver software.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Mohammed Atef:
This is a tasker/macrodroid macro that I created that toggles proximity sensor on/off systemwide.

You must be rooted to use it - it uses a shell command to edit a system file that determines if proximity sensor is on or off.

Installation:

Extract zip file

Open the respective macro with tasker or macrodroid

Create a homescreen shortcut or QS tile to toggle the macro / task

This was tested on Xiaomi Poco F3 - Android 13 - CrDroid v9.5

But it should work on most phones

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] jerry_jerry_77:
Mohamed, i thank you for the script. I have uploaded on my redmi note 10 pro with root and crdroid.

however , tasker stops. What can be wrong?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Mohammed Atef:
This is tasker / macrodroid macro that lowers AOD / Ambient display brightness

Installation:

Unzip file

Extract any 2 profiles for your application of choice (tasker or macrodroid)

Import these 2 profiles to the app and enable them

To control the AOD brightness, edit intensity of extra dim in settings > accessibility

Requirements:

Rooted

Tasker or Macrodroid accessibility permission enabled

How it works:

The macro sets extra dim to ON when you turn off your screen so your AOD brightness will be low - when screen is turned on (even on lockscreen), extra dim is set to off and normal brightness is restored

This was tested on Poco F3 - Android 13 - CrDroid v9.5 but it should work on all android phones
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] ShazuxD:
Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Changelog:

• Updated sources to twrp-12.1

• Fixed Decryption on Android 13 roms (Some A12/12.1 roms with Android S vendor)

• It works on MIUI Android 12 and 13 both

(Don't use this on MIUI Android 11)

• adjust status bar icons

• removed hard coded brightness values

• fix selinux context of backups and logs

• Almost Everything working fine.

Are you the developer of this app?

Google says this app is not compatible with my Chromebooks. I realise that the app is optimised for a mobile phone but will it still work on Chromebook if I sideload it?

Will it track the data used globally via wifi regardless of whether it's via an Android app, Chrome Browser, or Linux?

I'm asking the question because this app's ability to manage multiple devices is the most useful feature.

Also, is there a backup and restore feature for all the usage data that is collected over time?

Can you provide the APK for sideloading? I didn't find it on APK Mirror or similar (Edit: I do find it on APK Pure)

THANKS :)
[Android Apps and Games] notNull0:
Yes I am developer of this app. Currently this app works only in android (sorry for not mentioning 😥).

You can monitor multiple android devices mobile data and wifi data usage by installing this app and Sigin with your google account. You need to add members in your account from profile section via email address. If they accept request then you can see mobile data and wifi data used by them. I have attached image how it looks like if they accept your request (image with heading see your families plan).

I have attached link of Google playstore in my post (blue in color) but I will attach sideloading apk too.

Thankyou for showing interest.
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
Thank you for your reply. I understand that Chromebook was not part of your main plan for this app - but Chromebook runs Android, so most apps work ;) even when google says they are not compatible)

When I have time I will sideload the app and make some tests.

In my case, some devices will have the same google account, because they are all owned by me. Hopefully that will work too?

:)

If you SignIn two different device with seperate email address, it will work fine and you can also monitor your device data usage.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dsteinschneider:
After an incident while traveling where my phone was fully charged and the screen/digitizer became non functional I've decided to setup a backup phone that I will pack for trips so I can switch to it if the above happens again.

The problem was that I couldn't change anything as the 2FA (SMS, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, Google Authenticator) all going to the phone with the blank broken screen prevented me from using other computers and phones for email and other services.

After looking at the 5a and 6a I'm concluding I should just get another 4a. This time I think I'll buy it on Amazon unlocked for $349 so I can flash it. I'm pretty fed up with "Big Tech" and am thinking about a privacy oriented setup.

Any comments on this decision would be appreciated. I don't care about 5G and have no need for a camera improvement over the 4a.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I'd personally go for the 5a. It's basically a 4a 5G with a bigger screen and battery, and same SoC as the Pixel 5. Plus, it's IP67, so the 5a will survive a dunk whereas the 4a can't handle more than a spritz.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dsteinschneider:
Thanks for advice - another plus with the 5a is it might go one version of Android further.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dsteinschneider:
I ended up ordering an "open box" Pixel 5 with unlocked bootloader from an eBay seller. I'll report back here after I set it up.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dsteinschneider:
So for twice the price of a replacement Pixel 4a screen from iFixit I have a very clean full Google unlocked Pixel 5 that I like very much.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Keith McKenzie:
I don't think you should of got a 4a or any Google Pixel below 6a. Google will stop providing security updates this month, and this will not be good for the device security. If you want to get a 4a or 5a, GrapheneOS and CaylxOS usually support the device for a couple months after Google drops its support, but if you want to use a pixel 4a or 5a in the long term, you could purchase one, unlock the bootloader and install LineageOS on it as maintainers provide updates for 4a and 5a.

Link for 4a (sunfish):

EDIT: You should install Lineage on your 5a

It will pop if I point to address bar or any other text field within system but not anything in chrome in webpages or Google search bar on Google page. Even here on title or text box, when I bring the pen near screen it shows the blue draw icon that I am sure it didn't before and that's it, it does nothing. Sometimes the blue draw icon wont show, just the small dot . On screen kb comes on fine if I press these fields with finger but not with s pen. I'm lost, I tried the usual restart tablet clear caches but no bueno. Anyone have any pointers ?
