The best app for writing (although its lines is visibly bad) is Squid.

He offers absolute palm rejection, just works Lenovo Pen, and if you want to customize the hand function, you can assign tools or functions like erase on finger touch.

looking for lightweight ROM for redmi 5a bro. since with 2gb ram and 16gb rom, the phone is very laggy with stock miui. Please suggest the ROM you are using. Also is the rom unrooted one? Because if its rooted one, it becomes a headache to use Gpay and Phonepe even when used with Magisk. So i need a unrooted ROM.

thankyou in advance

[Nexus 5X General] meditek2:
Hi,

I got a new phone so did a factory reset which has locked me out so I cannot access settings to enable Developer and USB debugging and I never used dots and avoided entanglement with Google. As all the methods I have so far read and viewed is the same 'lock' which prevents access or are there 2 different 'locks'? Whatever, is there anything I can do apart from purchasing an unlock code?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] V0latyle:
What does this mean? The only way I've heard of anyone being "locked out" after a factory reset is because of FRP lock. What are you talking about?

Again....What are you talking about?

What "lock" are you referring to? Screen lock? FRP lock? Carrier unlock? Bootloader unlock?

Regardless of what is the case, an "unlock code" won't help you because you don't need one. The Nexus 5X is a Google device made by LG with a Qualcomm chipset. There is no "unlock code".

If you aren't talking about a Nexus 5X you posted in the wrong place.
[Nexus 5X General] meditek2:
I'll put it more simply for you and refrain from further comment about your social skills

1. I ran a Factory reset on my Nexus 5X with the intention of passing it on to a new owner.

2. I found that I could no longer access the setup because it asked for me to complete a dot puzzle or give my google account login info. I have neither so I cannot give it away as the new user would not be able to set it up.

3. What do you call this lockout? Sounds like FRP which I'd never heard of and can you crack it?
[Nexus 5X General] V0latyle:
Ok, I assume you did this from recovery mode instead of system settings.

Yep this is FRP. You performed a factory reset in an "unsafe" environment (recovery mode) instead of through system settings.

On the Nexus? No idea. It can be "cracked" on Samsung devices, one of our members offers a free service for this but I don't think it would help on a Nexus.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] montechristos1:
Hello all,

I am trying different ROMs on my RNP10

For this, i would like to find a way to transfer some/all applications and keeping the settings

I understand that if I don't have root, the only way to do this, is either via PC, or via recovery.

I also understand that some applications (such as authenticators) may not be transferred.

I researched quite a lot before reaching out, but haven't found a satisfying solution

Do you have any working solutions to recommend? For which applications do they work?

PS: I do not want to go through a cloud service, nor google for this.

Thanks in advance
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pnin:
Not tested in any way but you could look these up in Google (gathered from similar questions):

- ADB backup (needs PC and working ADB)

- Swift Backup app (freemium)

- Neo Backup app (FLOSS)

- TWRP/OFox backup (may not work!)

- Titanium Backup app (obsolete, may not work!)

YMMV -- but let us know of your results, please... :cowboy:
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] montechristos1:
Hello and thanks for the response.

Here are my thoughts:

- ADB Backup

This would be a good option if it had a user interface. Creating all the ADB commands for your apps is not easy

- Swift Backup

This is an application so unless you have root, it will not be able to access other application data

- Neo Backup

Same as above

- TWRP/OFox

My understanding is that this is mostly for Nandroid backups (i.e. full ROM with APPS and DATA)

Since I am experimenting with many ROMS, this is not ideal for me

- Titanium Backup

This also requires root

Any more ideas?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
For ADB backup you can use a simple GUI application like

Holo Backup

I have never use it, but maybe there are more applications like this.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] montechristos1:
Thanks. This one is not available any more.

Can you suggest alternatives?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
No.

I only was answering your question about a simple ADB GUI for backup/restore.

The project is ended and the reason is mentioned in that first post and on Github

On Github you still can download the latest (but old) version.

On that last post you find a direct link from another source.

So you can try if it works for you.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pnin:
FWIW and without root, I can only see the ADB route remaining...
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] montechristos1:
It would be great if from a recovery we could do backups (after decrypting)

Because ADB backup is on its way out...

[Samsung Galaxy S23] Pearland:
Hello everyone. My S23 s911b/ds is not getting any software updates . I've tried checking with pc suite app and on phone itself, it always shows its up to date. I've provided a detailed photo about my software info at the moment. Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem? View attachment 6021968
[Samsung Galaxy S23] V0latyle:
They probably haven't been pushed by your provider yet. This is why I use a Pixel - updates come directly from Google, no waiting on Samsung or carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Pearland:
Yeah i know about that but i'm having this phone for about 6 months now and i havent recieved any update since then. I once updated it with Odin , besides that i never had an update by phone itself. My brother has the same model of s23, he's already on android 14 , same carrier as me. Im sure there's some specific problem with my device only. If i didnt update it with Odin i'd be stuck on the first firmware that came on to device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] V0latyle:
Oh, well in that case, odd. You're not rooted or unlocked, right? There doesn't seem to be a defininitve rhyme or reason to how Samsung updates get pushed. Best I can suggest is see if someone has managed to capture the OTA update to a zip and see if you can sideload it. Or, check to see if Sammobile/SamFW have the updated whole firmware. Maybe try Frijia or Samloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Pearland:
Just wanted to inform any1 that may have the same problem as me, i solved it by changing csc to SEK or PLS, as soon as i changed it i got the regular updates. By some reason EUX csc was not giving me any updates. Hope this helps others.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] drwal333:
the reason is that the phone is with plus GSM and EUX is forced, you need to change the CSC region using the THL or SEK program SamFW TOOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Pearland:
Thats right, i suggest THL as it provides call recording function which i didnt have on PLS or SEK csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] drwal333:
you will have call recording and updates and this is important, after changing to eux you will never have it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] nguyenlucky:
Your device factory CSC is PLS (Poland), not EUX. Non-EUX devices will NEVER RECEIVE OTA when changing to EUX.

Change to another CSC will work. You can find lots of guides here.

The problem is, did you buy it used? If yes then the previous owner changed the CSC to EUX. If no then ughhh, your device was tampered before you got it. It should have been PLS/PLS/PLS/PLS when unboxing. CSC cannot be changed unless someone did it themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Pearland:
Uhm,i've got it brand new out-of box, i peeled off stickers on box and on phone itself. I once updated with Odin before posting the screenshot, maybe its me who made it be PLS csc on accident. But strange thing is i didnt get the updates even on PLS csc. As sson as i changed it to SEK i've had updates. Strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] nguyenlucky:
Where did you buy it? Direct from Samsung?

The last CSC being PLS indicating that device was meant for Plus carrier in Poland. The last csc cannot be changed at all.

If you buy it direct from Samsung or a retailer without carrier, it should have been EUX as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Emi20:
I am having GCF/GCF,GCF/XAA what do I change it to.. cause i am having to update on my device about from software that came with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iceepyon:
Strange as your device should be on android 14 and running on OneUI 6.1 at least....

Did you root your device? If you did then that will explain why you aren't receiving any updates as rooted devices won't receive updates from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Emi20:
Rooted? How do I check if it's rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Emi20:
Pfft gosh just tired.. I was using a s22 ultra and it was able to update on its own.. even get updates on its own.. but when I changed to s23 ultra its on the first software which was 1st February 2023.. nothing has been changed and its unable to detect an update or upgrade which I know there is an update atleast on July.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] aciupapa:
Actually, the last part of CSC is the "meant for/manufactured for" csc, and if the device was let's say made for Plus Poland, but was sold as unbranded, it will have the EUX/-/EUX/PLS csc OOTB after the first configuration.

For example, my device was imported from Germany, and after setting it up with my sim card, the CSC is EUX/-/EUX/DO2, meaning it was meant to be sold by the German O2 carrier, but was sold off-contract, and not meant to get branded firmware - in that case after first configuration the CSC set itself to EUX (European unbranded)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] nguyenlucky:
If you check here, https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S928B/

DO2 (or any Germany carrier CSC) isn't a CSC that you can find firmware for, which likely means DO2 is internally part of EUX now. Meanwhile PLS is an actual seperate CSC, hence no OTA when switching to EUX. Devices sold by PLS carrier should have all PLS out of the box.

Similar thing happens with EVR devices.

Not trying to trash the other how-to thread. It's great and has a ton of helpful info for sure.

That said, I came across this how-to and it seems a bit more straightforward and simplified. I haven't tried this method yet. Anyone try rooting this way? Did it work out okay for you? I've unlocked my bootloader but haven't yet rooted. Wondering if this how-to would work well for doing so.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] V0latyle:
That's literally the way everyone has been rooting Pixels for the past 5-6 years. Unlock bootloader, patch boot image in Magisk (init_boot on Pixel 7/8) and flash to boot (or init_boot)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Santi3598:
The simplest method would be using pixelflasher (not really a different method, it's just a tool that uses the normal method). You can try kernelsu but considering the question, I think pixelflasher suits you better.

This.

PixelFlasher has a GUI and does it all in a script.

You just have to execute the program and wait.

[OnePlus 11] cavist:
I am getting sick and tired of auto brightness in OP11.

Phone forces settings to always dim the display too low. I often have to manualy adjust it and it drives me crazy. I have a company iphone 12 with auto brightness on and can not remember when last time I had to manually increase the screen light.

Is this the OP11 issue, Android 12 or whatever else? I have a feeling that the software forces low brightness for battery score. I am really considering switching to Samsung S23+ or S24+ but I have no idea how the auto brigthness works on Samsungs.

Is it possible to adjust auto brightness behaviour? If possible, only way is probably a custom rom?

[Device Repair] klandingham:
Hello,

I have an old Samsung Galaxy S4 (previously used with AT&T). Cosmetically it's in really good shape and I want to use it just for WiFi functions.

The problem is, it won't charge. I've tried different cables and chargers, along with a replacement battery...nothing works. I've replaced both the main board ("motherboard"?) and the USB board (L-shaped board). Neither replacement has fixed it. The phone acts completely dead.

I've also tried all the various press-and-hold button combinations with no success.

To try to determine what is going on, I split a charging cable and put a meter in series with the + power wire (red) so I could see the current being drawn. As a test, I measured the current while charging another old phone I have (S7) and it was around 150 mA. When connected to the S4, I only see about 1.5 mA.

If I leave the charger connected overnight, it will show the lightning bolt/battery icon for a few seconds when the charging cable is unplugged then reconnected. If I try to start the phone, it'll vibrate briefly then show the S4 logo, after which it goes black and nothing else happens.

Since I've replaced the two boards, I'm stumped. What else could be wrong?

Thanks for any advice.
[Device Repair] Renate:
Well, if you changed the battery, the motherboard and the USB board that doesn't leave a lot, does it?

Doing inline current measurement was good (although they do sell little inline meters for $10).

I don't know anything about Exynos.

Still, even without a battery you should be able to get it to go to some mode (EDL equivalent) where the SoC eats 50 mA or so.

I have a plotting app of current consumption which is often handy to see what/how a device is booting when you're running blind.

If the battery goes completely dead sometimes the control and the MOSFETS are off and it can't be charged (until you charge it and then it can be charged).

With the USB disconnected check for voltage on test points near the battery connector.

If you can't see any volts, maybe peel a bit of tape off the battery pack and check for voltage on the cell(s) themselves.
[Device Repair] klandingham:
I forgot to mention...I did clip a known good external battery from another phone onto the battery connections in the phone. Measured that battery's voltage at around 4.4V (which seems in the ballpark). Still won't boot.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

New device, new build is up!

Build is for 7a/lynx 14.0.0 (UP1A.231005.007, Oct 2023), no support for 7/Pro.

If you're running verity/verification OFF, for easy flashing and install logging, Kernel Flasher is recommended.

You can use Kernel Flasher/FKM download kernel feature, just import the link bellow in the app updates/flash section.

Download config: HERE

If you're running verity/verification ON (stock default behavior), you need to flash kernel via fastboot (refer to instructions on 1st post).

Changelog:

Keep in mind: I will give no active support for custom ROMs (including stock based ones) besides LineageOS.

I am mostly interested on debugging stuff in stock ROM (with logs and reproducible steps to replicate the issue).

followed up those steps and got stucked,

are u sure blu that the first command is it correct?

@devviz​

5:16 why ini_boot.img but not boot.img? what's the difference between them? i saw from a tutorial from a different channel using boot.img ( https://youtu.be/TJBMmuMp9ZM ), what if i choose boot.img?

@The231447LucidDevTeam

It has something to do with these changes they made in Android 13: "In Android 12, the generic boot image, referred to as Generic Kernel Image (GKI), contains the generic ramdisk and the GKI kernel. For devices launching with Android 13, the generic ramdisk is removed from the boot image and placed in a separate init_boot image. This change leaves the boot image with only the GKI kernel." If you choose the boot.img instead, the device wouldn't be able to boot as far as I can tell. https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/partitions/generic-boot

according to the new procedure should be like this

fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img

at least for the first command
[Google Pixel 7a] eng.stk:
I don't touch init_boot, that's for you to get your phone rooted beforehand.

The commands in the first post are correct.

You must be in A14 December build.
[Google Pixel 7a] javierchip:
ini_boot.img is a new feature(??) on pixel 7 and on i think, it's the same function as boot.img, but just renamed iirc
[Google Pixel 7a] eng.stk:
No it is not renamed, different things.

Kernel is on boot.img, thats what we care about.

init_boot is for ramdisk stuff like init and so on, where for instance also Magisk places its hacks. We dont touch init_boot to install the kernel.
