[Google Pixel 6] trueJP:
Thanks for the feedback! I am not familiar with magisk, from what I have read you can patch the stock boot.img and flash it afterwards. If you relock the bootloader afterwards, is the system security on the level it was before or does it work like rooting a device where you potentially run into security issues, both with the Play Security Services and other things as well?
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If security is your primary concern, rooting is not for you. With root you get more control over the device but security may be compromised.
[Android TV General] smewhteguy:
My Nvidia shield has a option if I double click home button it shows all the running apps and allows me to close them. Is there a app or any way I can add this feature to other android tv boxes? Tia
[Android TV General] Topo's:
The feature you're describing on the Nvidia Shield, where double-clicking the home button shows all running apps for easy access and management, is specific to the custom launcher on the Nvidia Shield Android TV.

If your Android TV box is running a stock Android TV interface without this feature, you may not be able to replicate it exactly. However, you can explore some alternative solutions:

1. **Third-Party Launchers:**

- Install a third-party launcher that supports additional features and customization. Launchers like "ATV Launcher" or "Sideload Launcher" might offer different ways to access and manage running apps.

2. **Button Mapper Apps:**

- Use a button remapping app to customize the behavior of a button on your remote. Apps like "Button Mapper" allow you to assign specific actions to different buttons, which may include showing recent apps.

3. **Task Switcher Apps:**

- Some third-party task switcher apps might provide a way to access running apps more efficiently. Check the Google Play Store for apps that enhance the task switching experience on Android TV.

4. **Custom ROMs:**

- If your Android TV box supports custom ROMs and you're comfortable with the process, you might explore custom ROMs that come with enhanced features or a different launcher.

Before attempting any of these solutions, make sure to check the compatibility with your specific Android TV box model and the Android version it is running. Additionally, read user reviews and experiences to ensure that the suggested apps or launchers work well on your device.

Keep in mind that modifying the system behavior may not be as straightforward on Android TV as it is on regular Android smartphones, and the options available can vary based on the device's manufacturer and the Android TV version it runs.
[Android TV General] smewhteguy:
Thank you. Weird part is it still works with the stock launcher disabled.
[General Questions and Answers] zer0_Clover:
my phone is development scene is pretty much dead but there is a twrp device tree for it. can i modify it for building android or can i just use it? heres the tree https://github.com/joephyu/android_device_samsung_j3y17lte
[General Questions and Answers] Topo's:
Steps to Modify and Build Android for Your Device:​

Clone the Android Source:

Clone the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) repository

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-xx.xx

repo sync -jX

Add Local Manifest:

Create a local manifest to include your device tree. Create a file named local_manifest.xml in the .repo directory and add the following:

xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<manifest>

<project path="device/samsung/j3y17lte" name="joephyu/android_device_samsung_j3y17lte" remote="github" />

</manifest>

Then run repo sync again.

Build TWRP:

Navigate to the TWRP source directory (bootable/recovery) and build TWRP using the lunch command:

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch omni_j3y17lte-eng

mka recoveryimage

Build Android:

After building TWRP, you can proceed to build Android. Set up your build environment by running:

bash

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch j3y17lte-userdebug

Build the Android system:

bash

mka -jX

This process may take a significant amount of time and requires substantial disk space and RAM.

Flashing:

After a successful build, flash the system, vendor, boot, and recovery images using fastboot or the appropriate tool for your device.

Important Notes:​

The success of this process depends on the availability and accuracy of the device tree, kernel source, and other necessary components for your specific device.

Ensure you have the correct vendor blobs, kernel source, and other proprietary files for your device.

Building Android for a device is a complex process, and it may require debugging and troubleshooting. Be prepared for potential issues.

Always refer to the specific documentation provided by the TWRP project, your device's XDA Developers thread, or the Android building documentation for any device-specific instructions or tweaks needed for your phone model.
[General Questions and Answers] james_lpool:
Does anyone know if this would work?

Would WhatsApp see it as the default cam, or when you tap the switch camera icon, would it switch to it that way?

This would be really useful if so, but I don't want to get one if it doesn't work.

[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] Sariful87:
The unofficial TWRP release for N20 5G, but I don't know how to install it on my N20! But I'm familiar with rooting of any xiomi phones. I'm addicted to custom roms and I had xiomi redmi note 7pro! And it was pretty good for custom roms. That's why, I want to istall twrp and custom rom on my phone though I know, there isn't available any custom recovery ( without unofficial lineage OS) but I want to root safely and so on. So, can anyone guide me to istall unofficial twrp for this phone? Thanks advance!
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] Topo's:
Installing an unofficial TWRP recovery on your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G can be a bit risky, and it's important to note that such procedures may void your warranty and could potentially brick your device if not done correctly. Follow the steps below at your own risk, and be sure to thoroughly research and understand the process before proceeding.

Here's a general guide on how to install TWRP on Android devices. The process may vary depending on your device and the availability of compatible TWRP builds:

Prerequisites:

Backup your data: Unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery can result in data loss.

Enable Developer Options: Go to "Settings" > "About phone" > tap "Build number" seven times to unlock Developer Options.

Enable USB Debugging: In Developer Options, enable USB Debugging.

Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer.

Steps:

Unlock the Bootloader:

Check if your device allows unlocking the bootloader. This process usually involves using fastboot commands.

Connect your device to your computer, open a command prompt or terminal window, and use the appropriate fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader.

Download TWRP:

Find the unofficial TWRP recovery for your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G. Download the recovery image to your computer.

Boot into Fastboot/Download Mode:

Power off your device.

Hold down the necessary key combination (usually volume down + power) to boot into Fastboot or Download mode.

Flash TWRP:

Use fastboot commands to flash TWRP onto your device. The command typically looks like:

fastboot flash recovery twrp_filename.img

Replace "twrp_filename.img" with the actual filename of the TWRP image you downloaded.

Boot into TWRP:

After flashing, use the command:

fastboot boot twrp_filename.img

This boots your device into TWRP temporarily.

Install SuperSU/Magisk:

Once in TWRP, you can install SuperSU or Magisk to root your device.

Again, this is a generic guide, and the actual steps might differ based on your device and the TWRP version. Make sure to refer to the specific instructions for your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G on XDA Developers or other relevant forums for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Always exercise caution, double-check information, and proceed at your own risk. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with these procedures, it might be best to wait for official support or community consensus before attempting to modify your device.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PanosT:
I have traveled recently in London and i had problem with data roaming. From settings i tried several times to set international roaming to always and it didn't permit me to do that. Always the modification turned to never. Does anyone know why is this happening. My MIUI version by the way is 12.0.1.0
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Topo's:
If you are facing difficulties enabling international roaming on your MIUI device, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

Check Carrier Settings:

Verify with your mobile carrier that your account is set up for international roaming.

Ensure that your carrier supports roaming services in the location you are visiting.

Update MIUI Version:

Ensure that your MIUI version is up to date. Updates often come with bug fixes and improvements.

Go to "Settings" > "About phone" > "System updates" to check for any available updates.

Reset Network Settings:

Go to "Settings" > "Additional settings" > "Backup & reset."

Tap on "Network settings reset" and confirm the action.

After the reset, try enabling international roaming again.

Clear Cache and Data for Settings:

Go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Manage apps."

Select "Settings" and clear the cache and data.

Reboot your device and try setting international roaming again.

Disable Data Saver:

If you have Data Saver enabled, it may restrict certain data-related settings. Disable Data Saver and try enabling international roaming.

Use USSD Code:

Dial your carrier's USSD code for enabling international roaming. You can usually find this code on your carrier's website or by contacting their customer support.

Contact Carrier Support:

If the issue persists, contact your carrier's customer support for assistance. They may be able to provide specific settings or updates for your device.

Factory Reset (as a last resort):

Backup your data before attempting a factory reset.

Go to "Settings" > "About phone" > "Factory reset."

Perform a factory reset and check if the issue persists after setting up your device again.

Always exercise caution when performing a factory reset, as it will erase all data on your device. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to both your device manufacturer and your carrier's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide specific solutions based on your device and carrier settings.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rcasillas2008:
Hello! I have recently acquired a ViewSonic Smart Display VSD231 but it's locked with a password so I can't login. Is it possible to do a factory reset on Android on this device or is it not possible? I tried a couple of tricks on forums I have found: Holding down the power button and volume down button, etc.. Nothing has worked so far. This was a thrift store find, so I don't think I will have any luck getting the password. I have already contacted ViewSonic support to see if they can help, but I doubt they will since the device is so old. If anybody has any clues on what I can do I would appreciate it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Topo's:
If the standard methods for performing a factory reset, such as holding down the power and volume down buttons, are not working on your ViewSonic Smart Display VSD231, you can try the following steps:

Hard Reset using Hardware Buttons:

Ensure the device is powered off.

Press and hold the power button and the volume up or volume down button simultaneously.

Keep holding the buttons until the ViewSonic logo appears on the screen.

Release the buttons and see if it boots into the recovery mode where you might find an option for a factory reset.

Accessing Recovery Mode:

Power off the device completely.

Press and hold the power button and volume down button simultaneously.

Keep holding the buttons until the ViewSonic logo appears, then release the power button while continuing to hold the volume down button.

This may boot the device into the recovery mode where you can navigate using volume buttons and select options.

ADB (Android Debug Bridge):

Install ADB on your computer.

Connect your ViewSonic Smart Display to your computer using a USB cable.

Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer.

Type adb devices to check if your device is recognized.

If recognized, type adb reboot recovery to reboot into recovery mode.

From the recovery mode, you may find an option to perform a factory reset.

Contact ViewSonic Support:

If the above steps do not work, continue following up with ViewSonic support. Even if the device is old, they might have specific procedures or firmware updates that could help.

Keep in mind that performing a factory reset will erase all data on the device, including the password, so make sure you have backed up any important data if possible. If none of these methods work, your best option may be to continue working with ViewSonic support or to explore community forums where other users might have encountered similar issues with the VSD231.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] baal_zebub:
believe me, i searched the whole magician forum. my problem seems not to be hardware related.

i don't use BCHS (BT audio) either.

my problem is: sometimes when i call or get a call i can't hear anything in the phone speaker (loud speaker does work, cable-headset works, only phone speaker does not work - but my phonepartner hears me).

it happens very often. mostly when the device isn't used for a while (next day).

i already figured out, that

- reset does not solve the problem every time - but sometimes.

- plug in and out the headset does not help.

- what usually helps:

- using the mute-button on and off during call

- PLUS change volume DURING the call (change from full to low, and back to full again)

- PLUS change volume while there is no call (change from full to low, and back to full again)

if i do this 3 things it works afterwards.

but i don't know, what exactly solves it - one of it - or all 3 together ?

my rom: AT_VODA_11201_161_11200

my radio: 1.13.00

there's not much 3rd-party-soft i use:

bluesoleil

- but bluesoleil does not have BT audio as far i know.

and the problem even occurs, when i deactivate bluesoleil - and use MS BT.

- pointui

i'm pretty sure it's a software-problem. i even remember my blueangel had sound-problems back then, when it was still running WM2003.

but there must be a way to fix it ???

can somebody help please ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeChannon:
I would seriously consider that this is a hardware issue. Just because it sometimes works does not rule out hardware problems. I suspect it is possibly a poor speaker connection. This is often shown by highly intermittent, irregular sound. It is often very simple to fix, perhaps just re-seating a flex cable connection or tweaking out the speaker spring contacts a little. In rarer cases the speaker coil is damaged and you need a new speaker.

The closest analogy I can give is a torch with dodgy battery contacts. Sometimes a shake or a tap will make it work and seconds later it goes again. Generally the one rule of thumb is, do a hard reset (original ROM if possible) and if it persists then it is pretty certainly a hardware problem.

Service Manual / dismantling here:

Just something to consider

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] baal_zebub:
hello,

it's not a hardware issue! - it's not a loose contact or something like that.

i had' it again today:

- in the morning it did not work (as often, when phone isn't used since long)

- i did the 3 steps as described in first post

(no shaking of anything else that's hardware related)

-> it worked. and it worked every time - i tested 10 times.

now (9 hours later) - the phone wasn't used - and i have the same problem:

- speaker did not work

- i hang up

- i change the volumes to lower - than back to full volume again

- i call again

- it works.

i'm driving nuts ...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Imyman:
If I were you, I'd turn the device into the service center. Like Mike already said, I doubt it has anything to do with software. Speaker problems are very seldom software related.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeChannon:
I appreciate what you say, but after sitting for a while the contacts can settle with an oxidised layer between the contacts. Changing the volume changes the current flow and a poor or oxidised contact can have it's increased resistance overcome by increased current flow. Also the speaker vibrates, this once started can be sufficient to keep the contact working for a while, but once sound is left off for a while the problem returns.

Don't get me wrong, without testing I cannot say this is the explanation, but so far I have not read anything to conclusively rule out a hardware problem.

As the above poster says, return it for exchange or repair or failing that it is at least worth checking the speaker and it's connections.

Mike
