[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mookiexl:
I'll be making the jump from my s22 ultra back to pixel and the 8pro. My only question is does root still reduce quality to streaming apps? I remember having that issue on all devices that I've owned except xiaomi and oneplus.

As far as my root needs, swift backup alone is a good enough reason to root. I paid for it years ago and have dreaded not being able to use after resets or changing devices, because I've been on samsung ultras for the past 4 years. Any restore method other than swift is ass IMO.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] aap7:
I followed the rooting guides in this forum and everything works for me, including Wallet, Banking apps, some game like Pokémon Go, etc.

I installed PlayIntegrityFix and everything seems to be working nicely.

I haven't tried YouTube ReVanced modules. I want to try that too, although I'm already able to listen to music or videos while YouTube is running in background using a FireFox extension (but it does not remove adds).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
can someone tell google that root rights must be in the settings by default on any Android running device !!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] almahix:
Rooting is necessary for those who wish to backup their phones. If the don't want us to root they can make the phone able to be backed up without root. Backing up the phone is necessary for those who like to try different ROMs.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
I mean, you definitely CAN backup the phone without root. It's built in and has been for years.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Or restore data, or save game scores, etc
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] almahix:
Which is exactly why we backup!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
I agree. That's the main reason I unlock the bootloader and root my phone. I use Swift Backup to get a "proper" backup on my apps.

The other reason I unlock the bootloader is to install custom ROMs when the vendor stops providing OS updates (won't an issue with the P8P's 7 years support).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jimv1983:
It's definitely not worth it if you want to ensure that you can use your warranty or insurance. The same goes for custom ROMs.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
But with a Pixel, you can easily unroot, relock the bootloader and not have your warrantee be invalidates as on a Samsung where tripping Knox is not reversable
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
I have tried to stay on locked bootloader without root. Root has its advantages for me, theming, Saturation magisk module, etc.

I know stuff generally works, but until Google allow some of the best root features, instead of their boring colours, UI etc, I will root.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] almahix:
I still have an old OnePlus 7Pro upstairs in my bedroom as I keep my P8P charging all night downstairs. There hasn't been a fresh build in ages so I use custom ROMs that are updated regularly. Without root I wouldn't be able to do it. Rooting is necessary. Wherher one chooses to root or not is a personal choice, and personal choice is why we abhor Apple.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] SuctionCupNonBinary:
Heya, I am posting about this device in the Xperia X questions because it’s the device I guess it’s most similar two (the only flash mode driver that worked was Xperia X)

im being vague about thsi because I’m concerned that Sony is going to somehow patch the flashmode out of the firmware somehow, but I could be absolutely wrong.

I don’t have access to ADB or Fastboot on this device, I’m not even sure it runs android, i don’t have any other system dumps for it.

my main goal is to dump the firmware through flashmode, is there any way I can do that?, I was able to dump it’s TA But not much else

and if it’s any help up the device has access to EDL mode but frI’m what ive read requires Sony SAKE Authentication to do anything.

Any help would be appreciated

[General Topics] ZebastianJV:
nice guide also its kind of funny how you have the same two sim cards as mine. Anyway does the signal bars icon actually go up and down instead of them being frozen. Also VoLTE still not working?
[General Topics] IverCoder:
Afaik VoLTE really can't work on Samsung custom ROMs, and for me the signal bar is always frozen to be empty
[General Topics] Chris14012002:
Good guide can't wait to try it.. but I don't have a backup phone🥲 also I didn't understand about that patched recovery section... how to fork the repo?
[General Topics] IverCoder:
On the top right of the page, there is a "Fork" button.
[General Topics] IverCoder:
If your only concern is about your online messages, you can access them on your computer's browser instead. Or you can get a Google Fi subscription for texts and calls, I think text and calls can always be received on all devices that are logged in to your account even if your main phone is powered off. Alternatively, a few newer laptops or Windows-powered tablets support SIM cards, you may try putting your SIM into your laptop while you're following the procedure.

If anything wrong happens and you get stuck in a bootloop, just hold down Volume+ and Volume- while the phone is connected to your computer, and flash stock firmware with Odin. This is a Unisoc phone and unlike MediaTek devices, it's very hard to hardbrick this phone if even possible. Everything can be solved with a stock firmware flash.
[General Topics] Chris14012002:
Which one should I fork?
[General Topics] Chris14012002:
Can I use this patched recovery? I don't know how to fork... seems so complicated
[General Topics] IverCoder:
It's very simple. You clicked the arrow beside the button, you must click the "Fork" button itself instead. It would help if you log in to your GitHub account first.

Don't. It likely doesn't match your firmware and you'll just softbrick your phone.
[General Topics] Chris14012002:
Can you show how to fork and create patched recovery?
[General Topics] IverCoder:
An additional question, how did you get Dito mobile data to work? My Dito can receive and send texts and calls but it can't connect to the internet. Even adding internet.dito.ph as APN doesn't do anything.
[General Topics] ZebastianJV:
I didn't really test that since I dont have a plan for DITO. I only used smart and it worked fine
[General Topics] IverCoder:
I'll screen-record it
[General Topics] IverCoder:
Same. I'm concerned I might soon need Dito though, I think I'll just mess with the Carrier stuff from stock ROM and see if anything can help
[General Topics] ZebastianJV:
I never really used dito unless its some really rare case. DITO doesnt really have good reception here in south luzon. Also if you dont have volte you cant even use it for calling
[General Topics] IverCoder:
Here in Digos City (Mindanao) both Smart and Dito have strong speeds outdoors, but when I get inside large buildings Dito stays fast and Smart loses reception when I am on stock ROM. I'm planning on getting rid of my Dito SIM anyway because their mobile plans are much less worth their price than Smart's plans.

Log in or sign up for GitHub first, then follow these instructions (my screen recorder does not want to cooperate with me today). You should see your GitHub username in place of IverCoder on these screenshots.

Hi,

is there any ubuntu touch gsi for samsung a20e or all phones? since i wanna try it.

Well i am asking because a GSI is a rom made for all phones, but some people said it wasnt.

send me a link if theres one.

also i think i need kernel patching but how to do it?

Thanks
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Ahmet Yılmaz:
I don't understand why the settings application consumes so much RAM and is constantly running in the background. Does anyone know why and how to turn it off? phone on oos 11 op9pro
[OnePlus 9 Pro] blackhawk:
It's a needed service. Probably one of those dependencies causing it. Track down their function if not needed and you're not using them disable them preferably in settings. May or may not help. A setting or app may be causing excessive polling. Try clearing caches and clearing the system cache if you have that option. SD Maid pro does a nice job of cleaning.

Usage seems a little high, but welcome to latter versions of Android. This is what its doing on my N10+/Android 9. Pie isn't near as complicated as even Android 10.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JelmerSikma:
I want to install android 13 on my Nubia Red Magic 3. Since there are no custom roms with android 13 availible I wanted to try using a GSI.

So I factory reset the phone,

Upgrade to Chinese rom (Without chinese rom you can't install TWRP),

Unlock the bootloader,

erase userdata and system,

rewrote vbmeta,

installed the system image from the bootloader (can't seem to get into Fastbootd/userspace), installed TWRP,

noticed that /data can't mount so change it to FAT and back to EXT4,

notice /system can only mount read only,

Install permissiver_V5,

Advanced wipe cache, dalvik, data and internal storage,

Reboot system,

After doing all these steps I can see the android loading but it just keeps on loading forever.

I was wondering is someone else has been able to get android 13 working on a red magic 3.

All help is appreciated
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] thexholo:
You can share the files to test on my redmagic 3. I am currently with android 11 Chinese version and with gapps, but the bloat is terrible

Thank you
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JelmerSikma:
Hey @thexholo,

I will attach the files I used. Let me know if you need more files or info.

Kind regards,

Jelmer Sikma
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] thexholo:
Hey @JelmerSikma

I followed the steps to install the gsi rom with android 13, but the device reboots, constantly entering bootloader mode.

I also mention that the step of changing the data partition to FAT format and then ext4, I could not do it either.

Can you explain me how to change the data partition

Regards!!
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JelmerSikma:
I am pretty sure I had this happen to me also. Make sure to wipe everything in TWRP before flashing the GSI. To change to FAT and back to EXT4 you can select Data in the wipe menu and press repair or change file system.

Hello,

Phone was bootlooping but could still access recovery mode/bootloader last night. Woke up this morning and now it turns on, flashes the nothing logo, then instantly turns off. Holding volume up and power doesn't access recovery mode. Holding volume down does allow me to access the bootloader but device state is locked and fastboot is red. Trying to boot to recovery mode in bootloader still loops and doesn't let me in. I have no idea what to do with this now. Any assistance would be great. I can attach pictures/video if necessary.
[Nothing Phone 1] junglism93:
Hello mate,

That sounds a right doozy you have there!

Have you attempted to flash/modifiy anything prior to this happening?

Had you flashed/modified something and re locked the bootloader?i

Did it just go into a bootloop of it own accord?

Have you connected it to the charger/let it charge for a while and then tried rebooting into fastboot/recovery via the button combos?

If you could give some more detail as to how it ended up in the current state someone might be able to point you in the right direction.

If it's bootlooped on its own with no interference from yourself then I'd say it's an RMA to get resolved.

If you've resolved it then please post what you did as that will help someone else that ends up in the same situation.

I can now access recovery mode and bootloader after resetting through edl but it still bootloops. I've tried flashing with adb but since fastboot is locked I can't downgrade or do a lot of stuff. the update from 1.1.7 to 1.1.8 won't flash (error 45:kUnsupportedMinorPayloadVersion). I'm really kind of at a loss. I'm not sure why it's bootlooping at all. There was no interference to cause the bootloop but the phone still allows me to do everything but boot now (EDL, BootLoader, Recovery Mode)

in order to use fastboot roms you need to have fastboot unlocked I'm pretty sure. I don't think there's a way to unlock fastboot through EDL. @mark332 might know better though as his tool is the main one that pops up when researching unbricking the nothing phone.

So, for those that still have their RP2 Speaker grill. There is a three layer on top of the speaker, Adhesive (bottom), Filter (middle), and lastly the grill (which is the top). I want you to carefully remove the top layer and remove the middle layer without removing the adhesive (the sticky black tape thingy), and after that, just put the top layer, boom, Louder and better audio. Just play with dolby atmos to remove the clipping sound if you have one.

And for the Pixel Experience 13 resolution, just enable USB Debugging in Developer options, plug in to your PC/Laptop, then type "adb shell" -> "wm size 1080x1920" -> and "wm density 404". done!
