I just want to follow this up. I researched based on the recommendations here.

Our home network runs on OpenWrt firmware with a really wacky configuration.

Added Adblock to it today, disabled all the default blacklists because they seemed to mess up other apps, and added a single blacklist URL: androidtvwatsonfe-pa.googleapis.com

After clearing the cache, and the home menu freezing for a minute or two while it tried to load more ads, I only get generic banners now for Google apps like youtube, Google Play, Google movies. No real ads for any specific content.

A real winner. Thanks for putting me on the right path.

Edit: If anyone is looking to make this available for everyone, I'd recommend an app that:

1) Blocks that IP address.

2) Blanks the images & buttons for the Google/YouTube apps.

3) Adds an option to add customized images in their place... maybe re-route the URL to an image site like the screensavers use.
[Android TV General] CuF:
And a follow up. Replaced the one TV and it now runs Google TV instead of Android TV and the ad block doesn't work. Anyone know what Google TV uses?
[Android TV General] CuF:
Now I have a technical question for the community:

Today I unpacked com.google.android.tvlauncher with APK Editor Studio and decompiled classes with Dex Manager.

I found that the file KZW.SMALI actually has the 'androidtvwatsonfe-pa.googleapis.com' address present. I replaced it with 127.0.0.1 and recompiled it with an increased name and version code number by one digit.

Unfortunately it fails to install on my TV. Any suggestions?

Edit: So this got me thinking that I can do the same for Google TV Home to find where THEY get their ads from: androidtvlauncherxfe-pa.googleapis.com

Blocked it on my router. The result is DEFINITELY not pretty, but it works.
[Android TV General] R0peE:
My Dude,

You deserve a medal, i don't know though how this is not common practice yet (as i would assume most people hate ads), for me it also solved the annoying advertisement issues, as i like my home screen clean with only my favorit apps shown. For me i had to set my router like so (I'm using OpenWRT, setting is at: Network -> DHCP and DNS), after that just did a clear data on the AndroidTV Home app:

[Android TV General] wolfchild333:
yes you can block the url you found that way to point it to a loopback address. You will never be able to install a modified apk launcher that way simply because when you recompile it you don't have the google key to sign it that will prevent you from updating the current apk. If you had root you could completely nuke out the google one and install the modified one but that's asking for trouble.... better and safer to just blacklist the address.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] FromVietNamWithLove:
Hi I am using Samsung A23 ( Sm-235f ) i can't find any custom rom for it can someone help me. Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Roachie:
Hi,

Phone info :

ipl : 3.08

SPL: 3.08

GSM: 01.12.10

OS : 4.0.0.0

Using a rom i upgraded a year ago.

So yesterday i decided to update my music on the phone, so not a big deal, but when i tryed to play 1 my telephone said it was out of memory and just went really slow, so i decided a reset, bad move.

After the reset it goes to the 2nd loading screen and just hangs there, i cant do anything.

When booting i can go into the screen with all the colors. (gotta press the cam button).

I already googled 2 days but cant find anything to fix this.

Any idea's ?? or is my phone dead ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Roachie:
didnt remember this forum to be this dead.... any word ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
All my snarky comments about your misplaced impatience can be set aside for later abuse. :)

For now, here's how you fix it:

Charge on a wall charger with phone turned off. Verify green light before going any further (flashes don't work on less than 50% charge, and a full charge is the only way to be sure when you can't boot the OS).

Let it boot until it's stuck in bootloader mode (the three-color screen).

Hook it to a computer that you have previously synced to the phone with. Verify that "USB" appears in the bottom of the screen. If not, you're probably hosed.

Flash the ROM you loaded again (or get another ROM, doesn't matter...the one in my Sig is pretty nice, if you re-skin Manila after loading it). If you unlocked this phone before adding the ROM you last had, do NOT flash back to OEM ROM unless you can flash a ROM that removes the unlock (for G4, it's the Remove HardSPL procedure).

After that, you can stave off a lot of these kind of memory problems in the future by loading some kind of RAM indicator (QuickMenu has a built-in one, can manage running programs, and gives you a Windows desktop-style start menu for programs instead of the dumb endless folder parade) to let you know you have too many programs running, and you need to do a soft reset every once in a while, just to jog it clean. It also would be wise for you to load a cleaner to clear out your temp files...you'd be shocked how much crap piles up under the OS when you're not looking.

One last thing, do us a favor and put all your phone's info in your Sig...it helps others have a strong footing for making suggestions...not everyone would know off-hand that you have a G3 or a G4 without that info, and your problems can be made a LOT worse by someone offering the wrong answer based on not clearly identifying your hardware.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Roachie:
Hi,

First, Sorry for my impatient, it kinda sucked to have to go back to my old phone and recharge every 30 mins :)

In this impatiency (dont know if its a word but it sounds cool ;)) i found out my t-mobile contract was up for renewal, so i did that and ordered a new HTC Touch HD :) (will update my sig assoon as it ships :P )

So i guess ill fix this phone, and find a dutch ROM and give it to my dad, he's always working with excel etc and i think this is perfect :)

Thanks for your response and fix, sorry again for my impatience.

Hallo everyone, I need some help. I reset my android Head Unit to factory defaults and now I get the message “android is starting.”. What should i do? thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
That's usually a case of no suitable "Home" app found.

Did you have ADB enabled already? It should be live by this point.

You can install a launcher and see if that comes up.
[Android Head-Units] syaehoni:
thanks for your reply, i already update the firmware and the head unit work normal after update, but i found new problem, my rear camera is not working, no signal. what should i do?
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Are you sure the camera is powered and working?

Does it have the video on an "RCA" (phono) plug?

You can connect a normal phone earphone to the plug (tip to tip, outer ring to shield) and hear a buzz if there is video.
[Android Head-Units] syaehoni:
Solved, the problem is wrong protocol, i just need to choose the correct protocol on setting. thank youu
[General Topics] Snowleopard1900:
I guess UFS has been abandoned? I don't want to replace my Note 20 Ultra because I primarily use my Micro SDXC Cards for storage. Also, The data transfer speeds through the USB-C ports on the phones are throttled.

I transferred 500GB of data from the internal memory on my phone through a USB -C Cable to my laptop over a USB-C Gen 3.1 2x2 port and it took 5 hours. 500GB of data on the memory card, taken out of the phone and inserted into the laptop took 45 minutes.

Why would I want to tether my phone to the laptop for 4-8 hours to transfer data back and forth.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Evon88:
Let us thank our developers at the beginning, for all their tremendous efforts for this device, but it seems to me that no one is interested in developing and updating, most of the roms are old and are not updated, roms such as the pixel experience that are present in all devices, which is considered one of the most important roms that are usually available For all devices,.. not here either, so, let's just accept this.. what a pity.

Pls devs if you have free time, we need roms like havoc and pixel and any good roms, this device is awesome, make it alive again, oos is trash for many of us.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Cagarin2:
Hello. I don't know if you have tried the best rom that can be put on this device, Aospa Topaz. It is the fastest rom out there because it is caf, super stable. Made by a recognized developer visjhalCj and the best kernel developer Arter97. better. Regards👍
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Evon88:
thank you for this advice, ill try it

but Can you tell me the features?

like dolby? oos cam? gaming things? will it be updated for future?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] v1da:
I have not tried any custom rom yet.

Some suggested that battery backup is worst in custom rom.

Oos is better with op9p yet.

Anyone suggests?

I am mainly for better battery backup, not gaming.

What if a debloated an customized OOS rom for op9p, it would be awesome.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] dilar:
There is lots of active development for this device. What's with the defeatist attitude? Was there not a billboard on the opening page listing ***YOUR FAVORITE ROM HERE*** ? I don't mean to be rude, but if you're going to **** with your phone, do some research. Read the forums, not skim them! Stop impugning ROM devs because **you** can't figure something out.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MJPollard:
I don't mean to be rude, but just what in the world are you going on about? Just at a glance, there's LineageOS, crDroid, Paranoid Android, Nameless AOSP, Evolution X, and others, and all appear to be under active development. The absence of your favorite ROMs doesn't mean that "no one" is developing and updating (and that crack about "good ROMs" could be seen as insulting to the devs doing a lot of hard work on their own ROMs). With all due respect, I think you may need a little perspective.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Z-Blade:
If you want to stick to OOS, then I would suggest you debloat it yourself. One of the main reason why there is no custom OOS rom is because there is no custom stock OOS kernel. Most people simply just debloat the stock OOS rom themselves, it doesn't take long and you can customise what you don't want and what you do want.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Adb shell pm install --user 0 (package name) is your friend for debloating. Google search for debloating package names
[OnePlus 9 Pro] v1da:
😅 That is what I always did every phone I have, to debloat. And I can't live without rooting my phone.

I went back to OOS11 cause it has good battery backup and then debloated as much as I can with adb and root.

But a less features compares to OOS 12 and 13.

For example, like a ported camera and gallery from OOS13?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] benhidalgo:
If I may share my views on this delightful post.

Not every ROM will go hand in hand with every devices. This device has a lot of support since it was released. The custom ROMs that are posted have identical similarities to one another. Since they're all coming from AOSP.

There will be an end of support from a developer for many reasons. The number one reason is the number of staff to cover each device compare to the number of staff that is in OP/OPPO. It's a big difference.

Be happy for the shared support! 😁

I recommend learning how to do a custom ROM of your own. Lineage has a very good support in their wiki. This will also help anyone to upgrade their own custom ROM.

And finally, TWRP is a must for this device in my opinion.

Thank you for reaching out!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] DF5JT:
Why?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
I agree, too many out there want their cake and ice cream or in other words the best of both worlds. No custom or stock firmware is going to have everything you want right out of the gate. If you want something special, YOU have to be the one that puts it together. That is just being realistic!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MJPollard:
That's why I created my own custom ROM, using LineageOS as a base and cherry-picking the features I wanted from other ROMs (mostly crDroid, due to the ease of adapting the changes since it's also based on LOS). My ROM is basically for myself, not for others, as I only wanted a few essential features to make my smartphone life easier, and I used LOS because it was a lot easier than starting from AOSP and essentially building it up to what LOS already has. 😉

I've been silently reading this idiotic expression over and over and somehow managed to tolerate it up to now, but all things must come to an and !

First : WTF could "battery backup" mean ?? (and whichever ijit came up with this awful expression to begin with ? He/she should be lashed in public for ever devising such an abbhorence !)

It's called "battery autonomy" or at the very least "battery life", people !! 😡

(not to be confused with "battery lifetime", which refers to the total number of charge cycles one battery pack can undergo before it totally cakes its pants)

You cannot "back up" a battery !

You can not make a duplicate of a battery -be it physical or virtual !!

So pretty please with a flippin' cherry on top STOP USING THE TERM "BACKUP" WHERE IT DOES NOT APPLY !!! 🤯🤬😤

Not your fault, I guess : you're just repeating something you've read elsewhere -and which seems to have become de 'de facto' norm.

To me it's a classic case in point of the effectiveness of Joseph Goebbels' (propaganda minister for the 3rd Reich) method of making people believe in his lies : repeat the lie over and over and over again, until everyone thinks that since they can see and hear the lie everywhere, then it has to be the truth (and the bigger the lie, the easier it is to make people believe it!) :cautious:

[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
Hey,

I currently have LineageOS installed but find that the battery life is really not good.

I currently have Play Services installed and have read a few times that this could be the problem.

However, I am currently also considering whether to try another custom ROM.

I don't really need Play Services and for privacy reasons it would probably make sense to leave it off.

There are really many custom ROMs for lisa.

My requirements are acutually that it runs stable, is reasonably secure and the battery lasts well.

OTA (security) updates would be very important to me.

I use my phone mainly for Signal, a local public transport app and Tidal.

The local public transport app and Signal can be downloaded directly as APK.

Since there are really a lot of custom ROMs out there, I'm a bit overwhelmed as to which one is the "best" for me.

There is also /e/OS which I could not find here in the forum but unfortunately.

I also do not know if this ROM is good?

Thanks

Kind regards

Saphira :)
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] TheGamerKing:
I don't own the phone, but did you try ItsVixano's LineageOS (unofficial one not his official one) with MicroG?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
I dont think so.

The main reason for the Play Services was the Google Wallet which was also not running with the MicroG.

I am actually using the "normal" LineageOS with GAPS.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] TheGamerKing:
Hi,

I checked ItsVixano's lisa builds but he doesn't post unofficial builds since the official builds. Sorry. If you have problems with Google Wallet (or any banking apps), I have a way to let them work. I can help you.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] TheGamerKing:
By the way, if you want MicroG, the MicroG developers made a special build of Lineage OS that has Signature spoofing enabled, which is needed for MicroG. You can find the builds here (they come with MicroG installed by default): https://download.lineage.microg.org/lisa/
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
Thanks but i downt wanna MicroG.

The Google Wallet is not working with the Magisk soultion.

Also not with the Universal SafetyNet Fix module
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] TheGamerKing:
Ok, try flashing this in Lineage Recovery and try opening Google Wallet: https://github.com/ItsVixano/ih8sn/releases/download/latest/ih8sn-aarch64.zip

It is ready for flashing and its by ItsVixano (who made the LineageOS rom).

Tell me if it works for you.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
Thanks but it doesn't sound like it could help me since it's just a "replacement" to Magisk.

And all the answers actually have nothing to do with my question.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] TheGamerKing:
Maybe the magisk module wasn't passing SafetyNet, so maybe try my solution and tell me the result? Be sure to remove magisk before flashing my solution for the best results.

Also, when you open Google Wallet, do you get an error or something, or it's not even opening?

You can also check the YASNAC (safetynet checker) app before my solution but with the magisk solution, and after flashing my solution without magisk installed.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
I mean I dont even care much about the Google Wallet.

My question was
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] TheGamerKing:
I'm really sorry, as I mentioned earlier, I don't own the phone. I hope someone helps you as soon as possible!
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] 09mysh:
Battery shouldn't be to bad on this phone. Maybe it is time for a new one?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
I bought it in February these year
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] 09mysh:
Then maybe degoogle lineage manually if it comes with gapps and you find it stable enough. You can use something like app2sd which is very powerfull, but needs root. Or you can use adb.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
Thanks, I was also thinking to try out ArrowOS because it seems to be a minimalism AOSP Custom ROM which seems to have a better battery performance?

But i dont know.

I dont know really these Custom ROM
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] 09mysh:
They are often pretty similar, I would check if the rom is stable and actively maintained.

Some have some usefull features like adaptive refresh rate, or good mi ui camera support. Just look for the feature list on rom description and think what you actually find usefull. I believe you can degoogle most of the roms to the point where data collection and battery drain are significantly reduced. Just google (ironically) what has to stay, and what can be removed.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
Thank you both.

I tried ArrowOS and crashed it in the first few hours.

It comes close to Arch Linux but since it is not a real Linux it did not appeal to me and I decided to use LineageOS for microG.

[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] orangeTable:
Did you try it with Android13? I used it with this phone for a long time on Android 12 and it never crashed, with a nice battery life. Now I wanted to it again for Android 13 but if you say it crashes, maybe I should switch to another ROM...
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Saphira269:
Hey,

yes i am pretty sure that it was Android 13.

But i also tried to change really much like the system apps, was flashing a few things and so on.

I tried to use it really like arch but there was some System-Apps preinstalled so it wasnt really comparable to arch.

I don't think it would have crashed if I hadn't tried to customize so much.
