hi, i just get a new armor 24 and i am having a problem with it, they keep killing my apps, even setting the battery to no restriction, putting it on the "whitelist" of the duraspeed, etc, nothing changes

so i want to root it, but the last time i root a phone was 6~7 years ago, that wast my phone before armor 24, a xiaomi mi max prime

i make some research and did not come up nothing specifically for the armor 24, only the generics page that just change the title based on url, basically the same tutorial just change the model,etc

and found someone that is trying to root here the @tham.400 in the topic

My MTK device is constantly bootlooping with no escape

an MTK device i have, a ulefone armor 24 with MTK6781, is no longer responding to any key combinations to recovery, not even letting me power it off. is ther a way to get out and into fastboot? this happened after i flashed the wrong boot.img...

xdaforums.com

if anyone know if its safe to root it, i know that is never 100% or safe, but some devices has a "normal" risk and other people say "better don't risk it" so armor is a ""safe"" one to root?

and of course a link to updated tutorial for andoird 13 ulefone armor 24 would be nice to have, or any tips at all
[General Questions and Answers] tham.400:
i managed to root it myself using Magisk, patching a boot image. Ulefone armor 24 firmware that's a URL to the A24 firmware (incl. boot.img).

1. Make sure you download them on your device beforehand

2. Download the Magisk manager APK

3. Once you open the app, follow the instructions here, PC required.

4. Install the de-bloater module once steps of step 3 is done, if you want to remove bloatware. Then choose the apps that you want to remove, after which you have to reboot for the apps to be completely removed.

There are some sites that have lots of Ulefone firmware, but necessarily the latest ones.

Did rooting help with the issue of background apps being killed? I noticed, standard ROM without root, it doesn't have an option to lock an app in memory.

I was following a guide on how to install evolution x (

) and I got to the point where I was supposed to flash the vendor boot then reboot into recovery, it then rebooted to a white google screen and then after a few minutes went black, opened up a screen saying the only option is pause the boot up, and then starts the proccess alll over again... sdk does not find any devices on fastboot nor adb... help?
[Google Pixel 6a] SirEthanator:
When the screen turns itself off hold vol down until it boots to bootloader. Try flashing boot.img, dtbo.img, and vendor_boot.img before trying to continue. If that fails flash stock firmware or try another ROM.

It would be great to use the Diamond's touch-pad capabilities with an onscreen mouse pionter.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CoolStuffGAMING:
I've had the S23 Ultra for around a year and all I'm thinking to myself is how my A20 performed way better for multiple years.

My theory is that either getting the phone with Version caused a lot of services/bloat to be reinstalled in the phone causing slowdowns or maybe I got some random malware on it, I dunno? If I were to debloat, there's a lot of guides out there that downright disables a lot of core features on the surface that really worries me. I have UAD all set up but the only thing I removed was the Verizon stuff. Other than that I feel too scared to touch the Samsung stuff.

The only thing that's better than this phone compared to my previous A20 is the camera. Aside from that it's struggling at core phone basics. Sending texts consistency, battery life, speed, it's just a lot of basic problems that pile up where I seriously don't understand how this high end phone is literally worse than my past budget phone. My A20 did all and better with expandable storage and a headphone jack.

I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just confused why this phone underperforms so much for me. I have plenty of free space (only 83GB used and constantly clean out my phone). I just can't seem to troubleshot the issue.

Any advice? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA

Have you done any major firmware upgrades ie Android 12 to 13, etc? If so factory reset.

If not clear the system cache.

Try in safe mode, if it runs a lot better it's some thing(s) you installed. Find them and remove them.

If there is malware present you likely installed it yourself. You are what you load. If any doubt exists factory reset then be careful what you install.

All Samsung's should be optimized by hand. They can all run like pigs if they're not.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mrxyzl:
Don't know what happened to yours but mine run super duper smooth (used for 1 year) A few suggestions is to try factory reset to remove all user app and malware (if any) after that do updates and left the phone optimized for 1 night
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
There is no way in hell a Samsung A20 should be displaying superior performance to a S23 Ultra in any way.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
Core services of the phone will for sure not make it worse than A20.

If it behaves like you said, check if something is excessively draining the battery. Does you phone run hot?

Maybe installing a fresh and clean version of the system will help.

If the phone is really this slow, maybe it's a hardware issue. It makes 0 sense that something like A20 could outperform this phone. s23u just does everything instantly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gsser:
Simple, it does not.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:

Shizuku(https://shizuku.rikka.app) is a tool that allows you to use certain system APIs without having to root your Android device. It works by granting adb shell permissions to a specific app on your device. This app then acts as a proxy between your device and the system APIs, allowing you to perform actions that would normally require root access.

There is the User manual how to active it.

https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/

FV File Manager With the adb permission, you can visit the /Android/data and /Android/obb on Android 14.

It is faster than SAF.

Shizukuv 13.5.3 + Required for Andorid 14 !!!

https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku/releases

This method works on Android 11~14.

Google’s permission control on the Android/data and Android/obb directories is becoming increasingly incomprehensible. Access to these two directories is prohibited, but the system’s built-in file applications can access it! :(
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mikeloeven:
Is it possible to leverage Shizuku to access the /data/data folder it seems more and more apps store their data here so accessing android/data has mostly become useless. Its just a shame that more alternate operating systems aren't rolling back these file system changes.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] 7heBoss:
Sorry if this is one of those silly questions that should be obvious but I couldn’t find a solution in my searches

I decided that I would stick with my OnePlus 7 Pro for longer rather than get a new device. It does everything I need so why spend money, right? I decided to renew it a bit though by going from the stock oxygen os 11, to YAAP 14. I had android 11 rooted, but decided I wouldn’t bother with Yaap 14 because it doesn’t seem all that beneficial anymore.

However, today I went to connect my laptop to the internet via hotspot, and it connected but says no internet. I even tried USB tethering and still nothing. Does anyone know what the issue could be? It is an android 14 thing? A YAAP thing? Is it because before my phone was rooted, giving me unrestricted access to hotspot/tethering or something? This Is just a real bummer and hope to find a solution so I don’t have to go through another rom flash.

for anyone who might want to know, i went from YAAP 14 to YAAP 13 and now my hotspot works again.

Hello, as the title says, I'm transferring some games from my android device to my Android Emulator, so I wanna know if it is possible to transfer an APK with the APK Data to another device to avoid redownloading. I couldn't find the OBB file or Data file in Android folder, and iirc I need root access to go to /data. I cannot root my device (Sony XZ3) and wondering if I can still transfer games with my PC. Thank you in advance for your help
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
It would be very hard since the game data isn't stored on the APK itself but in the data folder that needs root like to mentioned above.
[General Questions and Answers] PalDoV2:
So it is not possible to access the folder even from PC? Ahh, what have we become, from able to access the OBB file, to not put it there anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
Newer android versions focus on security, so it blocks access. You could try because I'm not 100% sure.
[General Questions and Answers] dmcgee4204:
you can still access it just unlock bootloader flash twrp and browse the device through adb commands. Obviously making changes in this fashion can lead you to some issues but simply copying a directory should be no issue as its just reading which the system rom is typically used for. If you cant mount system its probably encrypted cant be done but i just was moving around my COD mobile files like hour ago which led me to this post lol. Rooting always better idea and taking full backup before changing any system files/settings.
[General Questions and Answers] PalDoV2:
I really want to try to root my device, the thing is, I enabled OEM Bootloader unlock in developer option, but when I go to *#*#SERVICE#*#* it says bootloader unlock allowed: NO

[General Questions and Answers] PalDoV2:
I'm sorry, Im quite lost here. does the recovery.img need to be downloaded or backup from anywhere? or is this just a command to test if the bootloader is unlocked?

before trying any of this try iroot, framaroot and watch out for fakes their is specific developers that supply the one click root apps who are more or less trustworthy.

Also those instructions were to test if the bootloader is unlocked. After further inspection of that device it is indeed a locked bootloader but their exists a pretty thorough guide below that i have linked to ROOT and install custom recovery on the device please follow that guide if you are willing to risk device etc. Always a risk when dealing with firmware or any kind of software that controls hardware components.

That link has some useful information on creating a dual recovery environment for your phone and thus allowing you to use TWRP, Yes from what i read it works despite the original bootloader being locked. Good luck if you decide to try it out!.

Easiest workaround i can think of also is to save all your game data to one google account then use that account shared across your emulator and enable cloud backup.

Hopefully that helps you out! Also worth a solid mention their links are dead to the dual recovery here is the updated dev page https://github.com/xNUTx/XZDualRecovery

Prior to OneUI 6, there was option to disable trash on Samsung Gallery and Files app. Despite being told by a lot of Beta testers, Samsung Devs team look like ignoring everyone's opinions and go with their own ideas (This has happened many times).

I have looked into Settings values in Global, System and Secure but could not find any hints. I just want to disable trash and delete the files directly. In fact, I want to delete a file and don't want to recover it, ever. What is gone, should be gone forever, without a trace. What I currently do, I have skipped using Files App and using FxExplorer to manage files which is files. Still, deleting things from Gallery app is a pain.

Does anyone know of any workaround to this through ADB or anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
This is not answering your question. Just like how beta testers are a very small niche of the entire userbase, pretty much everyone wants the 'trash' feature, so files deleted accidentally (or otherwise) can be recovered.

If you want to bypass this, use 3rd party apps, most of which will allow this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] izephyr:
I do want the Trash option for those who wants it. Definitely it is a must have, for any Operating system. But at the same time, it should have an option to turn it on/off so that if someone does want it can keep it enabled.
