[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
What RCS messaging apps do you know of for Android?

Here are the only ones I know of as of November 2023.

Google Messages

<com.google.android.apps.messaging>

Samsung Messages

<com.samsung.android.messaging>

Smart Messages

<com.messages.chat>

Beeper

<com.beeper.chat>

Mei

<com.mei>

As far as I know, Samsung's traditional Messages app supports RCS

*How to set up RCS chat on Samsung phones with Samsung Messages*

<https://www.androidcentral.com/how-set-rcs-chat-samsung-phones>

*Google Messages and Samsung Messages support RCS*

<https://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-rcs-messaging-726687/>

While Samsung's messaging comes only with Samsungs, this works on all.

*Smart Messages* SMS/MMS/RCS Contains ads, In-app purchases

4.5star,10.7K reviews,1M+Downloads

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.messages.chat>

I've never explored the universal alternatives such as the all-platform "Beeper" approach described here:

*August 17, 2023 Introducing Google Messages + RCS support!*

<https://www.beeper.com/>

<https://github.com/beeper>

<https://www.beeper.com/faq>

<https://www.beeper.com/download>

Where Beeper recently reported that they added RCS support but RCS

may only be in the desktop version (as far as I can tell from this).

*August 23, 2023 Beeper Adds RCS Support to Desktop v3.71.16*

<https://beeper.notion.site/Beeper-Product-Changelog-cdbc7b68526d45f7b8ced8d4ba170c8d>

There's an Android & iOS version of Beeper but I don't see RCS noted.

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.chat>

<https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/beeper-universal-messenger/id1551695541>

Similarly, there's Mei, which says it was the first independent with RCS.

<https://textmei.com/rcs/>

But their Google APK says they're being recently forced to change the app.

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mei>

"Due to upcoming changes in Play Store policy, we may soon have to

modify our services. We will provide more details soon."

What RCS messaging apps do you know of for Android?
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
In my opinion, RCS is impractical. Communicators without a central server are better.

Write yet how to do archiving/backup of such messages on your own device.
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Since the thread is about RCS, the post in its entirety is about RCS, not SMS.

***

I don't know if the problem has been solved, because I'm afraid of fixes from Samsung that will improve something or break something.

RCS message backup and restore/unread

It is highly desirable Samsung can implement a change that can backup/restore RCS messages. Transfer message from Samsung mobile to Samsung mobile turns all RCS messages into SMS or MMS. It makes the user experience bad by using RCS app. That is to say, all high-quality photos or videos are...

[General Questions and Answers] Cheesecube:
I've come across a few RCS-enabled messaging apps for Android, but one that stands out to me is Omegle.fm. It's got some neat features like read receipts and typing indicators, which make conversations feel more dynamic. Plus, it supports sending high-quality images and videos, which is a big plus. However, I'd recommend checking out a few options to see which one works best for you, as preferences can vary depending on individual needs and preferences. Overall, though, omegle.fm gets a thumbs up from me!

Yeah. I checked samfw.com and it shows the US Tab S9 Ultra as the only version to get the update. KInda odd.

Strange. I've had the update a few days now. It was sent straight to my tablet, I didn't download it elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Village_Idiot:
Yes. That is how it is supposed to happen. For whatever reason, Samsung has not released the update for the Tab S9 and Tab S9+ US WiFi models outside of Korea and Europe.

According samfw.com The only three regions that the Tab S9 and Tab S9+ WiFi that has gotten Android 14 are EUX, EUY, and KOO (Europe and Korea). The Tab S9 Ultra is EUX, EUY, KOO, XAC, and XAR (Europe, Korea, Canada, USA).

Is there a way to take my phone (s22 ultra) out of silent mode from my gaalxy watch? (while watch is still on vibration only)

Try SimpleWear app
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] niro0070:
Saw it in the play store but looks a bit shady, with no reviews and full permissions to everything on the phone (and also require downloading a companion app which is not in the play store). Any other app that does the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SKAm69:
Because it controls pretty much everything. I'd review it as just great. I have it in play store. But you can find an apk at apkmirror or similar sites

i see, thanks for the info!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] povlhp:
I have a generalt question [I think]. I am using the Alldocube iPlay50 mini pro.

In SP Flash Tool, I did a format+Upload, and that kills all device specific data like IMEI, MAC etc.

Now, restoring IMEI was easy. But what about the other data ? They were on a label on the box. Steps were:

Download and install ModemMETA 10.20440.0.22 # It used to be called Maui META in earlier versions

Disconnect tablet, power off tablet

Launch ModemMETA as Admin

Connect Tablet to computer - and it will power up and ModemMETA will connect to it

Top right there are a search field, look for IMEI

you will get a dialog box where you can enter IMEI(s)

Press write

close window

Press disconnect on main Window.

Reboot - and your IMEIs are back

WiFi MAC and Bluetooth (and serial, which does not matter much) I have not figured out yet.

I know they both are in nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI and nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI

I have edited them and copied them back to /mnt/vendor/nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB on my device. Changes are lost on reboot.

I have tried to download nvdata.img from a dd dump of the block device,mount that (under Linux) and changed there, and fastboot flashed it back. Not luck. Still old data.

BTW: I have not found where the serial number / barcode info is either. It sould be possible to find in source ?

I can see magisk is mounting the same block device as RAM disk. Is that my problem ? Some race condition.

/dev/block/sdc6 on /mnt/vendor/nvdata type ext4 (rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodelalloc,noauto_da_alloc,commit=1)
/dev/block/sdc5 on /mnt/vendor/nvcfg type ext4 (rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodelalloc,noauto_da_alloc,commit=1)
/dev/block/sdc6 on /debug_ramdisk/.magisk/mirror/mnt/vendor/nvdata type ext4 (rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodelalloc,noauto_da_alloc,commit=1)
/dev/block/sdc5 on /debug_ramdisk/.magisk/mirror/mnt/vendor/nvcfg type ext4 (rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodelalloc,noauto_da_alloc,commit=1)
[OnePlus Open] horsecharles:
So you would be able to connect to two different carriers simultaneously and designate which one for default data, but-calls from both automatically come in + Dialer & SMS apps have a profile toggle.

If so, can both be eSim (& accepts more than two profiles stored)? Or need to be both physical or one of each?

Can you also confirm it actually works for you instead of just stated in docs?

Also because just being able to store many profiles doesn't mean you aren't forced to continually make a manual toggle because only one allowed to be active.

Thanks, really appreciate this.
[OnePlus Open] d.cortez:
I'm on ATT and T-Mobile, and using 2 physical nano-Sims. Phone can support 1 eSim, which I'm not using. It's possible multiple eSim profiles can be saved.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yassin_269:
I was an s23 ultra user , it was a great phone, lag free but unfortunately i sold it and now i have my old galaxy a51 it kinda sucks when it comes to performance and smoothness so, i am thinking to custom romming it .project elixir to be specific, so is triping knox worth it + what will i lose when doing so?

Is there any thing that will anoy me in the custom rom as camera thats it i hope someone helps me....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Every custom ROM has limitations against the stock ROM from Samsung. This was taken care of by Samsung by not providing sources for all components.

You will only find out the advantages or disadvantages of switching to a custom ROM when going back to a fully working stock ROM is no longer possible.

If you think the A51 is underpowered, then remove or block what is possible in it using, for example, ADB AppControl.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yassin_269:
So u advice me not to install a custom rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
I advise you restraint so that you don't feel disappointed. I understand that switching from s23 ultra to a51 is painful, however, still a51 has android 13 of august 2023 on board.

I'm Dave and computers are like a hobby for me. I've had computers since the 90's and took a lot of courses in computer technology. I just bought a new laptop with one of the new M.2 ssd's in it and I'm impressed to see how fast these new computers are. Of course, I've already upgraded the memory and ssd to the max like I do with every computer. I've always got a backup computer and keep a clone of every drive I have to be ready for those bad computer days.

[General Questions and Answers] n1ethan:
Hello, I listen to audio with Jabra 75t in-ear headohones. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy s21 on Android 13 5.1.

Sometimes when my headphones run out of battery, my phone plays whatever I was listening to over the speaker. https://19216811.cam/ https://1921681001.id/

Sometimes it plays at a loud volume and broadcasts what I was listening to publicy, and other times it resumes at a low volume without my knowledge, and I lose my place on podcasts or playlists, etc.

Is there a way I can always have the phone pause what I'm listening to when the battery dies, across all apps?

Really appreciate any advice or input. Thanks in advance for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Sometimes or always?

If sometimes, it may be app-dependent, if always, it's device android-dependent.

Example.

When the battery in one of my portable BT speakers runs out, it ALWAYS switches the sound to one speaker. When the battery runs out in that other speaker as well, the sound ALWAYS goes out to the device's speakers. So I assume that is how it is supposed to work.

That's why people use large over-ear headphones, which have a larger battery and listening can last longer without interruption.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] wolf879:
Hi guys,

I was wondering whether the EliteROM is really good for anything else than getting Android Auto working for example.

I have a Pad 6 Max running the same MIUI Fold Chinese ROM and every Google Service is working fine so far without any root or bootloader unlocking stuff.

In the Xiaomi App Store (GetApps) on the Mix Fold 3 I got Google Play and am able to enable 'Basic Google Services' in the system settings. This probably wont enable GMS but for me that is not a huge issue as I use another device for in the car.

Google Wallet is also working as intended on the Chinese ROM, which might be no longer the case after unlocking the bootloader and rooting it on Elite. I have got a SafetyNet fix on my Mix (lithium) running Android 14 (crDroid) but it constantly needs updating and re-fixing to keep it functional. Multiple embarrassments already took place trying to pay and being faced with this security standards message lol.

Since I saw some of you on here enquiring how to get the stock ROM back on it, I thought I might as well ask on here before I make a mistake requesting an unlock now and wait 7 days.

Cheers!!
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] Ramid15@gmail.com:
depends on your usage.

on fold 2 i had elite, working like a charm for everything but for my usage:

1- pair with wearos smartwatch, in my case samsung 6 classic.

2- use it as a normal android phone, for example when u open a app link it opens in play store not getapps.

3- battery was HUGELY improved on elite rom
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] carlosehr:
Thanks a lot. I also have the samsung watch 6 and I'm going to install it on my new Xiomi mi fold 3
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] jim262:
No its not necessary, just more convenient.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] wolf879:
Ah, yeah I kind of noticed somewhat fast draining.

How many screen on-time did it differ?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] pzkfwg:
I have MF3 and rolled back from Elite to stock because Google changed something and Wallet was not working anymore on Elite (they fixed it two days later). It is a cat and mice game and I can apply the fix quicker by managing the Magisk Module myself instead of waiting for someone to bake it in the ROM. Today again, Wallet failed and I was able to fix it. Lucky you if Wallet works without root: my bank didn't allow because the phone is flagged as chinese and not global. I use another Magisk Module from Androplus to fix that. I also use French language which is another reason to root for me that may not apply to you.

I didn't notice any battery issue on stock vs Elite.

Overall, if you don't need to "globalify", change language, use Android Auto or pair some wearable, you should be fine on stock and this allows for simple updates. You can still debloat with ADB.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] wolf879:
Yeah for this reasoning I was hesitant of doing it cause I experienced that with my other phone. But even if the fix has an update in Magisk (if at all) it still might not work for a period of time.

I can use all my banks with the Chinese ROM thankfully. I didn't think of that btw, that some banks outrule CN ROMs :o
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] carlosehr:
ADespite everything, and because of all the incompatibility in many daily tasks with the CN rom. Today I switched to Elite Rom. I am very concerned about security with my banking applications, but I can't anymore with the CN rom. What is very clear to me is that I will never buy a cell phone with a CN ROM again.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] carlosehr:
The hardware of the Xiaomi Fold 3 is definitely superior than the rest. But as soon as I can I'll go back to the Samsung Z Fold. Their software is very superior and avoids all these problems
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] wolf879:
Yes I think it depends on personal preference and daily tasks as you said. Foor me it's the other way around and prefer the integrations with XiaoAI and Alipay incl. Baidu IME since we do business with some Chinese companies.

I have a Redmi 12C as a backup with OOTB Global ROM and kinda dislike it.

Anyway, time will tell if I wanted to try the Elite ROM.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] domineus:
Tried Elite Rom with some frustrations with installation. But I don't hate it. I'm ready for Android 14 though
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] jim262:
Google views unlocked bootloaders as a security risk and downloaded an update to Google Play that affected the devs correction to enable this in the first place. Devs have fixed this issue with new workaround baked in to current rom. This is true for all roms, like Xiaomi.eu, as well as Elite. All is good now.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] pzkfwg:
I plan to roll back to pure locked stock and add MoreLocale2 for translation to see if everything works correctly. It is not entirely clear what prevented my banking apps to work on stock... This would remove the annoying cat and mice game with Google...
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] Ramid15@gmail.com:
Been almost a month on elite

1 battery is way better I get up yo 8 hours SOT

2 GPAY is now working

3 all notifications on time no need to configure anything

4 wearos works like a charm

5 android auto works like a charm

6 Netflix now downloadable through play store

Xiaomi made the best phone of 2023 and no one knows it cuz oppo decided to go global and they still exclusive to china market only... With elite finally stable, I returned my n3 and no regrets
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] sylwek23111:
After update gpay works again
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] pzkfwg:
I rolled back to stock CN ROM to give it another chance and finally have been able to have Google Pay and all banking apps working, so it si probably not true afterall that banks can outrule CN ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] carlosehr:
message from Santander we detect that your screen is being recorded. What will it be due to? Could it be that because I have Elite they are recording me?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] carlosehr:
Hello, what file did you use to return to the CN Room? Thank you
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] pzkfwg:
Official stock ROM:

https://xiaomirom.com/rom/mix-fold-3-babylon-china-fastboot-recovery-rom/

Use your browser translation to figure the Fastboot rom. This is MIUI, but I got OTA update to hyperos.

You need MI Flash to flash the ROM in Fastboot mode (down + power button). All data is wiped.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] jim262:
No it isn't. Google Pay through google play updates runs info to determine if you have unlocked your bootloader. The only China rom that GMS does not work on is Huawei's HarmonyOS 2.
