Thanks for the info.

My Bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP installed on my phone. However, I do not know how to install the GSI. I don't see any instructions. My desired GSI is :

lineage-20-td/lineage-20.0-20230815-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvN-vndklite.img.xz

but I don't know how to install it?

Any replies would help.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Also does this rom convert my device to a 64 bit?
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] V0latyle:
Extract the system.img from inside the archive

Flash the image to /system in TWRP, make sure you wipe data
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Understood but I have a question.

Does this reflash my Galaxy A02S with 64 bit Android because it's the whole point why I'm doing this?
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Does this reflash the device to a 64 bit and can you make a tutorial on how to download this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Also, does all Google apps like Google Chrome, Google Play etc.. come with this and does USB OTG work with this Lineage OS and what Lineage OS version should I download?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Hello community

I know that the Samsung Galaxy A02S is running 32 bit mode even if it is capable of running 64 bit. Are there any 64 bit OS based softwares that can turn my phone into a 64 bit capable phone?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] tangy912:
No. Flashing a GSI won't make the system 64 bit. You'll need a custom vendor which is available but is very unstable and not recommended for daily use.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] tangy912:
If you use bgN builds (g means has Google apps) then, you'll get Google apps.

And for OTG, it doesn't work in any GSI. Not sure if some fix has to be implemented for that to make it work. I don't have a pc rn so can't test it.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Thanks so much for the reply.

Could you tell me where and how I would install a custom Vendor which would make my Samsung A02S fully 64 bit?

Also surprisingly OTG works on Lineage OS 19.1! I tested it and it worked fully.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] tangy912:
Like I said, it's not recommended. You will also lose the OTG function since it doesn't work on it.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
Is there a link to the custom vendor though?

[Samsung Galaxy A02s] V0latyle:
If the GSI you're installing is 64 bit, then in theory yes - although I don't know how much of a role the kernel plays in this

@dr.ketan any input here? What determines 32 bit vs 64 bit and what can be changed to fix it?

Sorry for being an absolute pain with all these questions but could you please tell me the steps to download this package linked above using TWRP as I am having trouble downloading this vendor. Sorry again.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] tangy912:
Download the file and put it on a SD Card. Then, just put the SD Card on your phone and then launch TWRP and flash the file.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] luca123144:
How do you flash it? Is it TWRP > Install > Download ZIP?
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] tangy912:
Download and move zip to sd card > Insert SD Card in phone > Launch TWRP > Click Install > Click Select Storage and select SD Card > Select .zip and install it.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] spice mwenda:
Yoh bro...just stick to your stock ROM...or stop buying cheap phones.....you look too raw for this stuff..don't do it...you will hardbrick your phone for sure.... And a gsi won't work in this low end devices...you are out of luck since your device and other low end sumsungs look like developers are not keen on developing custom Roms for them...like for xiaomi phones....I have xiaomi phone...came with 32bit ROM..but was able to find a 64bit ROM for it and now it works with any app....for you bro just buy a better phone....developers are phasing out 32bit support for their apps. Or buy a xiaomi phone if you want to be experimental😊💥

[General Questions and Answers] SaJ:nTA0:
Good afternoon everyone,

I have a concern that I am trying to address and I am getting no where.

I would really like to change the "length" of my login "locked screen" password but getting no results.

I have looked in to the manifest,settings configs,security settings, nothing I can find to change/edit.

What I was able to find researching worked only up to I think (5.0/6.0) and will not work for me I believe.

It really bothers me that my password has a set limit (no greater then 16 chars). And with todays tech and all (16 chars) just will not cut it for security or safty. It also bothers me that the powerr that is behind Android has no even addressed this, which leads me to believe that they left it this way on purpose.

While I am not new to android tablets or "rooting" for that matter I have tried & researched all that I can and now turn to you guys.

I have a rooted Samasung tablet running (7.0/nuguet).

Thank yhou for your time and help

[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
If you are worried about the security of your device you may want to look for a device that isn't running 6 year old software (and is probably 3+ years behind on security updates).
[Android Head-Units] vputz:
So... bought an old Mazda 5 as a second backup vehicle, and in discussions with the sales garage they agreed to install an "android auto/carplay head unit".

They indeed installed it, and the backup camera alone makes it worthwhile for the price they charged, but... oof. It does do Google Maps, but can't seem to get a fix from satellites (GPSTest sees satellites, but it loses them easily at least so far). It pairs with my phone for audio, but I can't find an incantation which makes it act like an Android Auto receiver. I've tried mirror programs like Airdroid and Castto, and even tried Bricatta's GPS tether, but can't activate developer mode because it wants a password (and I tried the 7890+time trick with all 24 hours in case I missed one or the time zone was funky).

I can hotspot from my phone and install anything, but I can't figure out how to make it, well, act like an android auto head unit and just forward my phone (or carplay from my wife's iphone).

Identifying it has been tricky. It looks a whole lot like a Seicane H2002 (https://www.seicane.com/aftermarket-oem-car-stereo-gps-navigation-system-for-2005-2010-mazda-5-h2002) although with a few slightly different apps and no MirrorLink app or anything like that, and the "Factory settings" password or developer password I can find in Seicane's docs don't seem to work. The "about this device" page shows

Android version: 12

Memory: 1.0G

Storage: 32G

System platform: MT8163

Can info: 3 MAZDA_W03

CAN version number: 1.0.1 20230310

Build number: AJ_2023.06.19.17_3_1220

Mcu version: CVD1810-WJ_22_10_24_399

Monitor info: 1280*720_default-mipi

TP Info: GT9xx_1085x600

Any idea how to proceed? My needs are pretty mild--I honestly just want to display google maps on this thing and get it to navigate. But man, after hours, I'm stymied.
[Android Head-Units] lissics:
That is a super cheap product since 1GB of RAM is really low. For Android Auto / Carplay to work you need software like Tlink/Zlink, Carlink etc. but they need a license to work. I am not aware of easy free installs or even pre-activated ones. AA or carplay usually doesn't come with these low end units
[Android Head-Units] vputz:
Darn. I'm not surprised it was a super cheap product; the garage wasn't exactly in the luxury business (and honestly the cost of installing the rearview camera probably made the actual headunit practically free). But it would be nice if I could get any use out of it at all, whether it be android auto-like or if I could figure the developer password allowing mock GPS forwarding from my phone or... well, anything useful really for navigation. Could be the GPS will get there eventually (I'm puzzled; it can clearly see satellites in GPSTest and just never quite locks). So any ideas would be helpful for sure.
[Android Head-Units] vputz:
I remember Google used to have "Android Auto Receiver" but evidently that was discontinued (or at least it says it's incompatible with this device; probably with the android version). But I'm unable to find an OSS receiver sadly.

Hello. I have one of the same product with 3GB Ram and 32GB Disk with the same software information. After formatting I lost access to carplay. Is there any way to bring it back?

How to install custom ROMs or GSIs on Samsung Galaxy devices without TWRP

XDA Junior Member kkoo has demonstrated an innovative way to flash custom ROMs and GSIs on Samsung Galaxy devices without using TWRP. Read on to know more!

[Magisk] ykjae:
I recently came across this new module on GitHub: [Malwack](https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/Malwack). It looks intriguing, but I have a few questions about it that were not addressed in the Readme.

1. If I install this module, do I still need to use AdAway? Would using both overwrite the hosts file that Malwack generates?

2. Regarding private DNS settings, should they be kept as is, or do they need modification after installing this module?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
[Magisk] yassine2217:
Hello,

It appears that the module utilizes the host file method. Therefore, you should definitely enable systemless host in your Magisk, eliminating the need to use AdAway.
[Magisk] Person0z:
Hello @ykjae,

I'm the creator of Malwack.

1.) If you install the module, there is no reason to use AdAway. It will cause a conflict as AdAway also utilizes the hosts in your system.

2.) You can do any DNS you need to do, this will not affect DNS settings at all. No modification is needed, it is a plug-and-done. All you need to do is install the module and reboot.

As of @yassine2217 reply, you don't "need" to enable systemless hosts in magisk. The module works without it

Hope this helps,

Person0z

Thanx bro for the module, it works for a while and then suddenly google meet ( previously Duo) gives an error no internet connection, i faced it with energized and Adaway as well, by deactivating the module or stopping Adway it works again for couple of days until it stop again. It has to do i think with how Ad blockers blacklist some of google hosts.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] RSGoer:
Hi all,

First time posting long time lurker (pre sign-up).

I have a Oneplus 5T running LineageOS 20. I want to root this device so I thought sideloading Magisk would work as it has for many others.

However, once Magisk is installed I open the app and it states that in order for it to be installed properly I either have to patch a boot img (tried this and gave me a fastboot loop) or direct install which ended up giving me a fastboot loop.

I'm at my witts end with this now I've been trying all day and nothing seems to work.

I even tried Magisk Delta which simply won't open. Any suggestions here? The fastboot loop is what occurs after I do a direct installation of Magisk after sideloading through Recovery mode (LineageOS).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] watson540:
It took me longer than it should have to piece all of this together, so I thought I would put it here to maybe make it more simple for other.

Maybe it's common knowledge by now, but the GSI stuff is new to me

So...

-Install OrangeFox recovery from this forum.

-Reboot into that recovery and Format data first (type yes), then wipe after that.

-Still in recovery, choose the reboot to fastboot option

-Fastboot comes up (through OrangeFox..this doesnt work in stock recovery)

Do "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a"

Then "fastboot flash system lineage-20.0-20230815-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img"

Find the ROM in "Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS"​

Reboot, and you have Lineage!

Some of the steps may or may not be necessary...maybe it could be honed a little more, but that's what got me there.

Recovery won't work after that. Haven't figured that out and don't care. You'll have to use the Rescue and Smart Assistant to get back to normal if you want.

You may be able to get away with just flashing the GSI to system_b and then switching slots inside recovery..but once I got it to work, idc about going any further.

I would like to know of any other ROMS people have gotten to work with this thing, and if their process is any different or better

Now if I could just get a recovery for the 2022 stylus (mediatek version)

If u debloated a critical app and caused a bootloop, u can easily boot into custom recovery and wipe /data/adb/modules/debloater and everything will work easily

i stay out of services, but junk like mail, youtube, calendar, one drive, chrome, play store... and others

Tensor G3: Google Pixel 8 series chipset fails to match the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in early Geekbench appearance

The Pixel 8 series will debut later in the year powered by Google's third-gen Tensor chipset. The Tensor G3 appears to have made an early trip over to Geekbench, putting up numbers that indicate worse CPU performance than even last year's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

www.notebookcheck.net

Leaked benchmarks indicate the Tensor G3 is falling behind last year's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. That should definitely be considered mediocre performance in an expensive phone released in 2023.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I wouldn't say this phone has an "overheating issue" to the degree that it affects performance or melts anything; but it definitely can/does run hot, even at those daily use tasks. But it's not like it's not manageable or anything. Some people have good battery life, some don't, and it's hard to pinpoint if it's the battery & running hot issue or something in the system setup (wakelocks, background tasks).

So it's hard to say, but I wanted to let you know/warn-you that it most likely at least run hot (at least a little); but you may get great results out of it in spite of (as I do)....

[Moto G Stylus 5G] MrWishon:
Yes sir sure can. Thankfully I can unlock mine via Developer Options. Everything else I'm reading online about rooting Android 13 devices is pretty much the same. Just patching the boot.img with Magisk and using ADB Fastboot commands like normal.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] r.dunne:
So have you tried it? And does it work? Where did you get a stock image file?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] MrWishon:
Yup!! Just did it last night. Worked flawlessly...

You obtain your boot.img from the Motorola Resuce Assistant Tool. After the application on your PC detects your phone, it will give you an option (or a "Download" button) to download the latest firmware for your phone. It even tells you the spot in your files it will put your downloads as well. Just confirm your current build number is correct with the downloaded firmware, find where the file downloads too, and grab the basic boot.img from side file. Proceed as needed from there! You can message me if you need help with anything.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] r.dunne:
Awesome! So just to confirm, all steps are the same as in the guide that's posted here.?The only difference is build number?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] MrWishon:
Yup! It's super easy man... like I honestly was overthinking a lot of it. Just make sure you research how to unlock your bootloader for your carrier of phone. Thankfully Motorola has a website you can do that through (if you bought your phone directly from Motorola that is). I've ran root all day today and it's been nothing short of amazing with Android 13.
