[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] noam_h:
Hi,

I have a problem with the screen and I don't know if it a software bug of a hardware problem. from time to time the bottom of the screen stays "burned" on the screen. I meen you can see the icons of the tf3d in the bottom of the screen even if you are switching to other application. I tried to hard reset and it didn't help. I can see it in both sides of the bottom screen and it fade away in the middle.

Thanks,

Noam.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Imyman:
Hmmm sounds like a hardware/screen thing. Might be the pixels or something. For what its worth, try a hard reset. If not....try the service center.

After succesfully unlocking my device's bootloader, and trying to boot a patched image with fastboot boot magisk_patched-26300_R82rS.img nothing seems to happen, i have tried booting multiple times and nothing changes so far, if i have understood correctly there should be a direct install option that appears in magisk when booting a patched image but i still only have the 'select and patch a file' option.

[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Google Pixels (non-carrier variants)

Samsung Galaxy's

I might say Samsung, because of KNOX, but I'm not familiar with other OEMs to be able to compare it to all others (OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, Vivo, Realme, Honor).

I can't give the best all 3 things considered, as much depends on YMMV on each device and preference. I primarily am knowledgeable on Google Pixels, but what I know of Samsung is that they lock down the bootloader on US variants very hard. There are newer OEMs like Nothing Phone that I'm unfamiliar with but I've heard being talked about.
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
Samsung

Samsung or Xiaomi, but security is kind of irrelevant the moment you root it.

NOTE: Samsung devices made for the USA cannot be rooted.

Samsung

Samsung
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Serious objective inquiry; you really think/believe Samsung or Xiaomi is better for "Best to root and download other OS on it" than Google Pixel? I mean, I'm unfamiliar with Xiaomi so I can't say for sure, but maybe either/both may have more custom ROMs to offer, but in terms of just rooting and flashing custom ROMs (or "OS" as OP puts it), you don't believe it's Google Pixels? I'm under the impression that that's one phone that the manufacturer makes it easier than other OEMs to unlock & root -- if not outright encouraging it; i'm unsure of other manufacturer's but as an example Google will accept devices for RMA or trade-ins with their bootloaders still unlocked (unsure if other OEMs allow it; I know Samsung states tripping KNOX will void warranty) -- to the point of running the simplest commands (from a CMD/Powershell/Terminal; downloading Google's platform-tools though); if I recall from my Samsung s5 and the minimal I've read with other OEMs, a separate tool must be run inputting various image files and sometimes a waiting period (all not necessary for the Pixel)....
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
Personal preference, but Samsung has OneUI by default (which is the best OEM i.m.o). And if OneUI isn't for you. you can always use roms such as PE/Lineage, whereas on Google phones using OneUI isn't an option.

Samsung is also the biggest and most popular manufacturer of Android phones, and basically all devices in the main series (not including uncommon variants such as the Galaxy S4 4G) have plenty of custom roms. If you're getting a budget Samsung, there's usually only one or two roms, if there are at all any.

I am not familiar with Google, but with most phone companies other than Samsung you're dependant on the OEM to unlock the bootloader. They can at any moment decide to discontinue their bootloader unlock services (even on older devices, like with LG) and then you're stuck with a device that cannot be unlocked.

Xiaomi has a 14 day wait to unlock the bootloader, but one of the biggest pros with Xiaomi is that you can get rather powerful devices for extremely cheap.

Again, I am not familiar with Google, but the Samsung process has been the most simple I've ever seen; enable developer options, enable OEM unlock, boot to download mode and press unlock bootloader, reboot.

This is indeed a downside, but it really depends on whether you'd actually use warranty or not. More often than not companies will blame issues on you because you tampered with the device. In Europe however, I believe manufacturers are forced to give you warranty for 1 or 2 years, even on rooted devices.
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Counterpoint; if one seeks the most minimal/non bloatware-ridden AndroidOS version, and/or the simplest AOSP-like UI, Google Pixel is best in regard to all those aspects -- only if one is seeking those things...

And I can't 100% confirm off the top of my head, but I believe Google Pixels can run LineageOS; dunno know why you'd want to run PE on a Pixel (redundant)....

Definitely, if you want the most popular and the best hardware, Samsung is the way to go -- can give most other manufacturer's a run for the money; but OP is looking for security, rootability, custom ROM, and ecosystem. Two of those, Samsung is definitely in the lead. For rootability and custom ROM; all I can say is Pixel 7 (only, depending on how you compare it with others) has 9 custom ROMs.I mean, I'm unfamiliar with Xiaomi so I can't say for sure, but maybe either/both may have more custom ROMs to offer, but in terms of just rooting and flashing custom ROMs (or "OS" as OP puts it), you don't believe it's Google Pixels?

Google Pixels are not dependent on the OEM to unlock the bootloader -- if you get a non-carrier variant, all of them are for the most part guaranteed to be able to unlock the bootloader; by design. There are reports that all Pixel 8's and Pixel 8 Pro's that are ordered from the Google Store that are not carrier variants are actually coming with their bootloaders unlocked OOTB.

Nothing in Google's practices (in terms of their smartphones) have indicated that they would/could ever reverse their bootloader unlock services. I've seen it where carrier's can lock it down before/after the fact (T-Mobile will keep it locked until/unless the device is paid off and/or it needs to be network unlocked; you can receive a non-carrier variant, but put in a Verizon SIM card and the OEM unlocking tick will turn grey [happened to the Pixel 2's]), but not Google themselves to do this. They haven't in the 8 years they've released the Pixels, and they've showed no indication of it.

I've heard of that with Xiaomi's, but there is that lock, and who knows what else they complicate or what that means in terms of security, rootability, custom ROM, and ecosystem.

Wow it's that simple?! That's amazing! On the Pixels, at the very least, you need a computer! On my s5 it was a whole lot more involved and complicated!

Now it's just about getting the right non-US variant so you can do all of that....

Yeah, that was kind of my attitude/impression on my Samsung Galaxy s5....from what I had read, everyone was under the impression that, for the most part, repair shops and Samsung themselves wouldn't necessarily not repair/work-on your device -- it was more to cover themselves if they so chose not to repair/replace/work-on it. And gotta love some of those Europe consumer protection policies....
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
My point was that on Samsung you can use OneUI and AOSP-based roms. Pixel cannot run OneUI. On a Samsung device you'd have more variations to choose from.

I personally prefer the UI of OneUI as well as some of the built-in features, so I prefer to stay on OneUI.

You need a computer, but only to enter download mode. For whatever reason a USB connection is needed to enter recovery/download mode on more recent Samsung devices. You don't need to do anything on the PC, it just has to be connected via USB.

I believe you can use a charger too but I never tried that. EDIT: Just tried, charger does not work. However, using another phone (I tried it with an S7) allowed me to boot to recovery/download.

Flashing roms or custom firmware however, does sometimes required additional files. To flash TWRP on the S10 for example, you need to flash TWRP in the AP slot and vbmeta in the CP slot.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
So I have a rooted phone (Redmi note 10 pro) and I was trying to get widevine either l3 or best, l1 but after messing around a bit it kind of worked, I seemed to have made a little progress, at least Netflix now doesn't just give me an error and throw me out of the app, but now it is just stuck at this screen and DRM Info app is also just stuck on a grey screen, any idea what could be causing this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
Possibly that there is a problem with your device's Widevine certification.

Disable and re-enable the Widevine DRM module. Settings > Security > Advanced > Security policies > DRM policies.

Maybe, change the DNS or even try a VPN service to bypass regional restrictions.

You might even have to attack the Google Play Services by clearing cache and data or uninstall and reinstall Play Services.

Check your device's Widevine certification status:

adb shell cat /system/build.prop | grep ro.build.widevine.l3

This should output any available updates for the Google Play Services app.

adb shell pm list updates | grep com.google.android.gms
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
Thanks for the reply, but nothing helped, this does not exist in settings and the two commands you provided both returned nothing(I ran them in a root shell in Termux because the first one returnedcat: /system/build.prop: Permission denied when I ran it using adb), I also already tried a VPN but no luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
I don't know if you are running a Custom ROM, but it seems like SafetyNet attestation isn't properly patched. This is a process that checks the device's security and makes sure that it meets Google's requirements for DRM-protected content.

If you are on a Custom ROM, then the ROM is not compatible with Widevine L3 or L1.

Use a tool such as Magisk to try and patch SafetyNet which is the most common method.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
I am on no custom rom, just android 12 with MIUI and I already patched SafetyNet and it seems to be just fine, I can run e.g. Google wallet and YASNAC returns this, so it should be working, right?View attachment 6029539
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
If your bootloader is unlocked, it will affect Widevine which will automatically downgrade you to L3 and even though you can pass Basic Integrity and CTS profile match on YASNAC, there is a good chance that SafetyNet is still tripped because of the state of the bootloader.

You can try to unroot and test your theory or use Magiskhide, a Custom Kernel or another version of the SafetyNet modules.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
Thanks for the reply, I tried magiskhide but sadly nothing changed, also I want to avoid unrooting, but I am currently looking for a good custom kernel to try, can you recommend any, that work with the stock version of Android on it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
You can start here and work your way down.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
Thanks, I was messing around with magisk a bit, because google wallet stopped working AGAIN and now it seems to be back in the state it was before the one I described above, I can open said apps, but drm info shows no widevine level and netflix just kicks me out immediately with an error message
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
Weird, YASNAC tells me, that I pass all tests, play integrity API checker tells me, that I fail all tests, yet something like Google wallet works
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usr755:
Wow this all just blew my mind, I played around with magisk again trying to get widevine to work, so I changed between the official magisk and magisk delta several times, nothing changed. Then I uninstalled basically every module, now I just pass one test in YASNAC and fail all in Play integrity API checker, but somehow I now have widevine l3 at least.
