It looks like the sockets on my tv box where the antenna connects to the main board.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Looks like a MHF connector, fairly common on older devices for some reasion. Not really sure why, maybe manufacturers envisioned being able to use external antennas to boost reception? Or maybe it's for some sort of vehicle phone mount that would have a mating connector for an external antenna.

Hi,

This is my 3rd pixel device and every single device had the same error after 2 months with the volume button coming off.

Am I the only one or did you experience the same?

You must be exceedingly unlucky. It's a known fault, but 3 out of 3 in 2 months? Wow.

How to Restore your phone on a Windows PC using a Nandroid backup

I am going to assume you already have a Nandroid backup created on your SD card using JF 1.31's recovery Alt-B feature. The backup will create a folder called nandroid on your SD.

What you need:

The Android SDK:

Fastboot Windows Binary in this post:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3083753&postcount=1

From your Nandroid backup you need three files:

data.img

system.img

boot.img

Steps to restore your phone

1) Put the files Adb and AdbWinApi.dll from the tools folder in the Android SDK into C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder on your PC. Substitute the correct drive letter if windows is not installed on you C: drive

2) Put the Windows Fastboot.exe into the C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder on your PC

3) Create a folder on the C: drive of your PC called android. The path should be C:\Android.

4) Copy the Nandroid backup files data.img, system.img, and boot.img from your SD card to the folder called Android you created by mounting your SD card as removable disk.

5) Unplug the USB cord and power off your phone

6) Power up your phone by holding CAMERA+POWER, you should see three androids on skateboards. If you don't see this go install the Engineering boot loader

7) Plug the USB cord back into your phone and press back. The screen on your phone should say fastboot.

8) Make sure your pc is using the correct driver. Open the device manager on your pc. It is helpfull to have all other USB storage devices besides your phone unplugged for this part. Look for a USB Mass Storage device in the list of the USB devices. Right click on it and update the driver. Pick the option to browse for a driver on your pc. The driver is located in the Android SDK your downloaded in the folder called usb_driver. If this is done right you will now see a device called HTC Dream

9) Press start, go to run and type cmd (If you are on Vista just type cmd in the search box and hit enter). The command prompt will pop up.

10) Type cd C:\android

then enter the following commands:

fastboot flash system system.img

it will say Sending, then writing and say OKAY if it was successful

then type

fastboot flash userdata data.img

wait for the second OKAY and type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

wait for the second OKAY and type

fastboot reboot

Your phone should now be restored exactly as you had it when it was backed up.
[G1 Android Development] SplasPood:
This sounds great! I just recently used the other script to make a backup, but this sounds like it's been a bit more polished :)

I attempted to compile the yaffs2 utils under OS X 10.5 and I encountered a problem during linking:

ln -s ../yaffs_ecc.c yaffs_ecc.c

gcc -c -I/usr/include -I.. -O2 -Wall -DCONFIG_YAFFS_UTIL -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Winline -static yaffs_ecc.c -o yaffs_ecc.o

mkyaffsimage.c:120: warning: ‘yaffs_CalcNameSum’ defined but not used

gcc -o mkyaffsimage yaffs_ecc.o mkyaffsimage.o

ld: absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) used in _process_directory from mkyaffsimage.o not allowed in slidable image

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [mkyaffsimage] Error 1

Any thoughts? I'm heading off to google to figure out what a 'slidable image' is. :)

-jwb
[G1 Android Development] infernix:
No idea, and I don't have access to a mac. You could change the makefile and skip compiling of mkyaffsimage, you only need mkyaffs2image, but you'll probably get similar errors.
[G1 Android Development] SplasPood:
Google seems to imply its a common issue, possibly solved in a later XCode rev.. We'll see how that pans out.
[G1 Android Development] brocktice:
mkyaffs2image on mac

It built just fine for me when I did the whole mydroid build. It's in out/host/darwin-x86/bin.

Is there some way to mount the yaffs2 image, though? Does one need to do the kernel patch etc on a linux box and then use loop?
[G1 Android Development] dcman008:
Wow this a awesome. Thanks for all the hard work everyone.
[G1 Android Development] hbguy:
you are are ridiculous.....ly good!

so you telling me if we have root and jf's modified rc30 v1.2 and be brick our phone, there's another quarter in your pocket after you die (game over) and you can start a whole new game?

[G1 Android Development] infernix:
If you have flashed the engineering bootloader (the androids on skateboards appear when powering on your phone while holding camera button), yes. :)
[G1 Android Development] hbguy:
haha very nice ::borat voice::

P.S. For the borat fans out there, he is making a new movie, insider info baby

hbguy!
[G1 Android Development] SplasPood:
I had this problem too but disconnecting and reconnecting the usb cable fixed it.
[G1 Android Development] infernix:
Well the script is supposed to check for a device and stop when theres a problem.

also if this can happen at all then other things might go wrong on mac too. I think mac requires bash variables to be called like #{VAR} and doesn't handle $VAR for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] brocktice:
update on mac issues

OK, it seems it was all a problem on my end -- didn't have the correct set-up. I now have the appropriate recovery image (thought I did, but I guess I didn't) and it seems to work, except for this:

Comparing md5sum...parseopts.c:76: setup_check: fopen '--status': No such file or directory

The images and such now have non-zero filesize, though. That's an improvement over before.
[G1 Android Development] infernix:
yeah i've gotten some more reports. will make it mac OS X compatible soonish :)
[G1 Android Development] Phromik:
I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work. If someone who knows linux can IM me, that'd be great. (or is there a way to do this on XP?)

AIM:adventninja

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] jockyw2001:
Does this also back up radio and htc secure nand partitions?
[G1 Android Development] unrafa:
tranks

backed up successfully.

for those who get errors in the script.

i assume you have installed modiffied recovery image + jesusfreke's rc30v2 and

before running the script check this.

this steps involves having linux i dont know how its done in windows maybe its the same i dont know.

1: disconnect usb cable

2: check that you have adb program in your path, eg: /usr/bin/adb

if you dont know what adb is, adb is a program to comunicate with phone via usb (its not the same as transfering files between pc and g1),

adb program is found in android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r2, unpack it, and copy adb to your path, just google and find latest android sdk.

once you downloaded sdk unpacked it and copied the executable file adb to /usr/bin go to next step.

3: boot the phone into recovery mode ( power up the phone and holding "power + home" keys and a triangle will appear on its screen.

4: in your pc open konsole, su root, and plug your USB G1

5: type adb devices

if the response to this command is "HTC G1 bla bla.. found.", then you are ready to execute the script, it will no give errors and you will backup its contents.

if you dont see HTC G1 words, then its likely your phone was detected as "USB MASS STORAGE", and we dont want that. we need that its detected as a "HTC DIRECT ACCESS DEVICE".

a: control +c

b: killall adb (this is important)

c: unplug USB, plug it in another port,

d: go to step 5

hope it helps.

Hi,

Is it possible to remove (someway) search bar from default Pixel launcher?
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
With root. However, after Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a couple of seconds it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again.
[Google Pixel 7a] pajos.gabros:
thank you

[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Hello does your module to remove search bar on pixel 7 pro work on a14 or only a13

As when I install on a14 it just keep saying starting android after i open lockscreen
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Only a13.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
So if I go back to latest a13 it will work does it remove at a glance too or only search bar in bottom
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
I don't believe anything removes, at a glance.

Only search bar.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
No problem about at a glance tbh most important is search bar will u make for a14 too btw otherwise I will downgrade later today?
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
I don't have a 14 adb installer....what all do you use from it? Just no search bar? I'm not sure about the Pixel launcher but to modify the systemui, verity and verification must be disabled or bootloop will occur.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Yep All I care about is no search bar so looks like i will downgrade later today🙂
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Is there more than no search bar?
[Google Pixel 7a] Zobat:
you can also install novalauncher
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
The full adb installer is on the pixel 7 pro forum. If all you want is the search bar gone, this should work.

[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Sounds Great i will do it later today but no plans for a14 later on right?
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
I can make one with search bar removed but like I told you, you will need verity and verification removed and maybe a custom kernel for it to work.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
I Will try a13 one first then let you know sounds good?
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Disable dm verity and custom kernel i need on a14 right if I like it on a13?
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Yes, verity and verification.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Hello got a question would you be able to swap back and recents button too on the a13 one to try too before a14
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Send me your system/system_ext/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Where do I find that one in files and which file manager u suggest?
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
You find it as indicated above.... I use the file manager x-plore.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Alright I will send it to you when I wake up sounds good?
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Hello sorry for late reply but can I send this file without root too or should I root before I send file?
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Doesn't matter.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Hello i like it can you make for a14 no need for change swap back and recent buttons
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
You are welcome to try this.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
I needed no dm verity and verification for a14 right and is custom kernel a must too for a14 one
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Yes to disabled verity and verification. No to custom kernel.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Hello i can disable verity and verification with android flash tool for pixel 7 pro right and then root again after flash
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
I don't know. Haven't used it. I use PixelFlasher.
[Google Pixel 7a] Lughnasadh:
Yes, you can disable verity and verification with Android Flash Tool. It won't re-root it like Pixel Flasher can, though.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Can i do both verity and verification and root on same time in pixel flasher
[Google Pixel 7a] Lughnasadh:
Yes
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Hello i like it very much on a14 but is it possible to remove that space between apps page and the dock as there wasnt that much space between app and dock in the a13 version i tried
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Only by changing your grid size. That is a calculated space.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Oh ok so that space between dock and app will get less when i choose more grids?

Because on a13 i had same grids as now but there wasnt a that big space between apps and dock
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
They do change things from one firmware to the next.
[Google Pixel 7a] Boogeyman820:
Oh damn thank you so much is there more u can add to the laucher and for example what
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
You are welcome to download this ADB installer. It has a few options.

ADB Instructions.

1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC

2. ADB debugging Enabled

3. Run TulsadiverlauncherModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Shell Root Permissions. If missed on first opportunity, turn on in Magisk App superuser)

4. Flash the Base First. It provides the necessary files for everything to work

5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.

6. Once finished with selections, run "Finish building Module" at the bottom of the menu. This will generate your mymagisklauncher.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.

7. Flash the "mymagisklauncher.zip" in Magisk App.
[Google Pixel 7a] Yeedatoy:
It's because there's several values for the launcher layout. For each grid size, there's a different cell size for each icon space. Basically draw an invisible grid over your phone in your mind. Each little square square is different in size for each available grid layout, as well as the maximum amount of pixels per height and width, The size for icon text, and the size for the the images on each icon. When you add an extra row, you have to edit each one of those integers to account for the extra space you've added with a new row. It's painful on the brain, I can't imagine how much time Tulsa must have put into this to get it working, especially considering he's been doing it for years. Probably has spent spent almost a year of time collectively LOL.

Ps: thanks Tulsa!
[Google Pixel 7a] Tulsadiver:
Thanks! You are welcome!

Thankfully, I don't have to do the math. It's built into the stock smali files. I just have to pick how many rows and columns and the smali files do the rest.

Using Remote Desktop to connect to a home computer always get's people's attention. Play a song off your home computer and have it play on your phone. Seeing Vista on a phone impresses even the G1 crowd who think Linux is the end all be all for the computing world and nothing good can be done through M$.

But sometimes your computer at home is off so you can't connect to it. So just fire-up a telnet session from your phone to tell your router to give a Wake-on-LAN command to the computer to start it up remotely.

Unlimited data is a must on these phones IMHO.

I saw that earlier this morning .. I thought it was funny. I also like that they are starting to promote the Fold. That's usually a good sign.
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
It's interesting that they haven't been pushing it much at all; I was expecting more for their inaugural outing.
[Google Pixel Fold] blackhawk:
Rather weak. So you can flip it open... is that all you got? Your target market is the woke happy-happy, joy-joy California zombies? wtf?

Like all folds it's biggest claim to fame is also it's greatest liability. From normal physical wear to firmware/software that doesn't properly integrate with the large odd shaped display. Google doesn't even attempt to allay these real concerns.

I would wait 6 months to see how it pans out before buying. Then see what the users not the reviewers are saying.
[Google Pixel Fold] wattsja:
My guess is that they were waiting till closer to the actual physical release to push it. They probably wanted to see what the pre-order sales from I/O and word-of-mouth would get them before they start pushing it
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
Google worked closely with Samsung on android 12L (for larger screens) and then started to incorporate it in to android 13 and now 14. I think although it won't be as polished as oneui5 it will have most of the software as the z fold(apart from Samsung exclusive). With Google now working with developers hopefully more 3rd party apps will work better on a big screen. Still can't believe Instagram won't scale properly on a folding screen
[Google Pixel Fold] blackhawk:
Both Google and Samsung since the release of the folds have failed to deliver firmware/software innovations for that format. This lackluster behavior continues. Samsung is a mess right now, the result of 4 plus years of poor leadership.

I don't think Google's doing any better; they've made a mess of Android in my opinion. Both got more than they bargained for with the fold project. It's been a heavy, constant money and resource drain from its inception. No end in sight just promises as their beta product slowly evolves😖

The whole "it folds" is the same old story, again.

No expandable storage, sky high price points and you know right where it folds is where the trouble will start, sooner rather then latter. They can warranty it but you still lose time screwing with the claim, not having it, then reloading the bloody thing. Repair downtime is not why you buy an expensive flagship phone.

This N10+ has had in its over 8k hours of operation; with one replacement battery done in 1 day, it's only repair (routine maintenance as Li's don't last forever) in almost 4 years. It's last reload was over 3 years ago, no firmware upgrades or updates in all that time.

Minimal maintenance and no malware. Personally I'm sick of Google's constantly changing platform. I don't want to be constantly chasing down gremlins and optimizing new firmware on a stock device.

I've seen a lot of hyperbole in the last 3 years from both Google and Samsung. Sorry fact is they both haven't improved SOT; just slammed bigger, heavier batteries in. 4 year old hardware/firmware shouldn't get better SOT (with a smaller capacity battery) and be nearly as fast in actual usage as a new flagship. Google's insistence on cloud storage vs expandable has became a wretched handicap that reduces reliability, redundancy and eats power needlessly.

Scoped storage is another mess they added.

So yeah, another fold offering. Same old cake with different icing on it with a few new enticing trinkets sprinkled on top. Where it folds will remain it's Achilles heel and continue to cause user issues.
