"sdcard" is a historic remnant. It refers to /data/media/0 mounted through a confusion of sdcardfs or f2fs or something of mounting.

You have it. You can chase it down.

borneo:/ $ stat sdcard
File: sdcard -> '/storage/self/primary'
Size: 21 Blocks: 0 IO Blocks: 512 symbolic link
...
borneo:/ $ stat /storage/self/primary
File: /storage/self/primary -> '/storage/emulated/0'
Size: 19 Blocks: 0 IO Blocks: 512 symbolic link
...
borneo:/ $ stat /storage/emulated/0
File: /storage/emulated/0
Size: 3488 Blocks: 7 IO Blocks: 512 directory
...

You can see what you have with:

$ ls -al /sdcard

Touched the file and the problem still persists

Here is a link to a new logcat I took after restarting the device, opening the app Pocket, and clicking sign up to also get a black screen then crash.

@youngwhitebranch

It appears that you're encountering a common issue with Hisense Touch devices running Android 11 and Touch OS 1, where the file picker in installed applications crashes after opening a black screen. This issue is likely caused by an incompatibility between the custom Hisense Touch OS and the Google Play Services installed from AliExpress.

My recommendations:

Consider using a different file picker: You can consider using a third-party file picker app from the Google Play Store. This can provide you with a more stable and reliable file management experience.

Update Google Play Services: Check if there's an update available for the Google Play Services you installed. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services and checking for updates.

Clear Google Play Services Cache and Data: Sometimes, accumulated cache and data can cause issues with apps. Try clearing the cache and data for Google Play Services to see if it resolves the file picker crash. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services and tap on Storage. Then, select Clear Cache and Clear Data.

Reinstall Google Play Services: If clearing cache and data doesn't work, you can try reinstalling Google Play Services. This can sometimes help resolve compatibility issues.

Update Hisense Touch OS: If the issue persists, check for updates to the Hisense Touch OS itself. Sometimes, firmware updates can address compatibility issues with Google Play Services.
[General Questions and Answers] youngwhitebranch:
Thank you

1. I do have another file picker downloaded

2. There is nothing under Apps > google Play services mentioning updates

3. Sadly it did not work, but the crashes seem to happen faster now rather than just sitting at the black screen

4. There is no option to uninstall from the settings > app > Google Play Services like there is for other apps

5. When I click software updates in settings the screen flashes black and then goes back to the previous screen (I assume this is to restrict updates as to not break google play services?)

Hello,

I'm sharing an overclocked kernel for the RMX3151 which is based on InfixKernel.

Features:

- GPU Overclocked to 1000 MHz

- Performance script compatible with this kernel (Import to a kernel manager, e.g. SmartPack, Franco.)

- That's it for now.

Issues:

- While the GPU performance is better, the CPU performance might be worse (according to AnTuTu).

is it safe to flash in my realme 8i stock rom A13? ( i don't have twrp but i am rooted, i'm planning to flash this using franco kernel manager )
[Realme 8i / Narzo 50] baconkingroblox:
This kernel is only compatible with Realme UI 4.
[Realme 8i / Narzo 50] ggg26:
thanks for the reply, i really really appreciate it, yes i have ui 4.0 f.09 ( the latest is f.12) is it still safe to flash it using franco kernel manager?, also as an addition i use stock rom so will i get bootloop if ever i flashed it?, really thank you and I'm looking forward for the reply man!!!
[Realme 8i / Narzo 50] baconkingroblox:
Yep. You can flash the zip in TWRP. (I recommend backing up the stock boot.img before flashing this kernel)

For some reason my tilt keeps freezing. There aren't any programs running in the background, and the memory seems fine, but still it continuously freezes up. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?! :eek: For example when i receive a text, it takes forever to open the message,and sometimes i'm unable to answer the call because it freezes but I can hear it ring, etc. Most of the time i end up having to soft reset the device until it starts happening again (within a few minutes).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cal-El:
Yea, 3.56 is good! Did you check your bootloader (colored screen) to see if it shows up?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xxaznxx27:
yea everything seems to be working pretty well. now i have two extra questions for you.

i installed that cube thing a while back, but everytime i load it it says ftouchflo is already running? and i saw another version of the cube that was recommended, so i was wondering if i should uninstall the one i have, and install the new one. I know I saw a fixer to this problem, but i can't seem to find it anymore.

also how exactly do i make the phone read ringtones from my micro sd?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cal-El:
My suggestion would be to find a ROM that has Cube cooked in and flash that, although there are newer UI's out there, but go with what you like!

As for the ringtones, they should be read from the SD card automaticaly! I use them all the time, the only thing I can think of is dont put them in a folder on your card, just put them strait into your card! Try that, it works for me!:)

If you need help flashing a ROM or just have questions, feel free to PM me, its way cool and I love to help!

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Moi1234567:
Hello

I just received my s24 ultra.

So you know how it's the most efficient and complete data transfer?

Smart switch

Or

Google one backup

Or

Something else

My phone is not rooted.

Thank you for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
SmartSwitch does quite a good job. Only 3 apps weren't able to be transferred by it (mostly MicroG-related stuff that I finished transferring through QuickShare once Smart Switch finished its job).
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] daLareid:
Smart Switch does the job just fine, that plus doing a full back up for your Google and Samsung clouds helps out bring all the settings as it were on your previous Samsung phone.

But some prefer to manually restore everything, that means using only the cloud backups because there's been records on previous phones of sluggish apps because of old data from the Smart switch transfers though I've never had any issues with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
You can use Galaxy App Booster (part of the Good Guardians suite) for that last part. 👌
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
I run app booster once a week. Takes a couple minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Smartswitch works well. I backup other files and stuff to my OneDrive via USB and then copy them back to the new phone.

The only thing that needs to be manually done are apps that have security uses. Those I have to reset and reenter credentials. Maybe 30 minutes to do that as I can't be automated.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dvhttn:
Right. So it's been a while since I didn't root my phone on day one so I'm wondering how to transfer my apps to my newe S24U (when it arrives!) - but with data? All the apps I can get installed but for some I'd also like data to go with them. If an app doesn't have a backup/restore function can I do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] crazyut:
I would say in this order:

Google backup

Samsung cloud backup

Smart Switch

Manual copy of any sideload apps, other files.

[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] FluffyPants:
As far as I know, there are no hardware functions on Xiaomi that will be lost when you unlock bootloader or flash custom firmware, Only Samsung with Knox hardware
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] NOSS8:
Nope, all that can happen is that the devices are no longer certified by Google but can be bypassed with root and Magisk modules.

If you install an AOSP rom, there are no Xiaomi apps like Micloud for example.

Sometimes when lag happen,

The screen and button become unresponsive.

The only way is to wait until battery low and shutdown on its own.

Stock rom have option to force shutdown.

Even laptop have.

Does all custom rom doesn't have FORCE SHUTDOWN???
[General Questions and Answers] krynyx:
Some devices has "power off protection" when it has a password set. In this case you have to unlock the device before you can force shutdown holding power button for 10s (or volume down and power button).
[General Questions and Answers] dumdum1015:
You mean unlock the lock screen?

The device is unlock because it got screen and button unresponsive when using app.

My device can't take Firefox and some game like Botworld.

But in stock rom, I can power off then wait for few minutes, then it's ok again.

Sometimes, I force shutdown it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] anab:
Hi there my friends.

A few months ago i bought a note 20 ultra. When i boughted, the seller warned me about the main camera, that was very blurry. So started using only the wide camera.

I expected to be a software problem, so I tried a lot of gcams and nothing. Reasearching about the problem, a lot of people were saying that was something about updates.

So, i was bored at home office and decided to test two: N986BXXS9HWL1 (Singpore) and 986BXXS9HWL1 (New Zealand). Both WL1. Mine, originally was a ZTO ( N986BXXS9HWL1).

Nothing changed. Except messed up the csc. The phone didnt reconize any of the numbers. So, i had to go back to ZTO.

On this point i download the N986BXXS9HXA1, XA1 end. Everyting went ok, but the blur still there. Maybe a problem on android 13.

Turning point, decide to open my phone and seek some physical problem with the focus.

The guy assured me that the phone was never opened so i trust that the main camera was original. For me was clear that the problem was local.

I dismantled the whole phone. Did some "changes" and voilá, perfect camera.

What i did.

Removed the screw behind the camera board for good (I read that problems have already occurred with screws that are magnetic, or are close to magnetic parts, and that this can influence on the focus) Dont know if its true.

Opened up a little the main camera frame with a small flat tool (my thought was that maybe smth was pressuring the focus, there are some scratches because i tried to push down the camera)

I did all those change in one "pack", i advise you to do by parts and try. First try a new firmware, then take the screw and then open the frame.

Tried flashing TWRP into my phone and it got success. Everything works except I can't mount the /data partition somehow and every reboot it got stuck eventually just boot to that recovery (can't get to OneUI). OrangeFox untested (hope it would work, I will try it later then).

I use OneUI 6.0, as if you said 6.0 works but idk, I wiped data but it still didn't work. Had to roll back to the stock recovery.
