[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] srhuawey:
Currently my S10 Plus has Android 12 and its processor is Exynos. I used to have it on Android 11 and play Call of Duty Mobile, mirroring the screen on a monitor with HDMI (dex). With the update to Android 12, the games are simply freezing on my device and I can't play. Have you had a similar experience and are you able to help me resolve this?

If that solves it, I'm interested in switching to Android 11, but my binary is 16 (G) and I simply can't find a ROM to use. I looked for how to do it on the internet and saw that I would need a rom with binary 16 or 17 but there isn't one...

Can someone help me? I'm on vacation from medical school and would simply like to play a little, stress-free.

[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
Manged to procure a Velvet 2 Pro(LG-V700N) opening this thread for discussion and ideas.

What I've learned so far

-Patched LGUP recognizes the device

-unable to use partition DL to make a dump of all existing partitions

-Lock screen issues- the device when shut off using knock knock/power button will show the fingerprint sensor ready to scan. It doesn't respond to double tap to wake or refuses to scan fingerprint until physically pressing the power button twice

-as expected 0 updates besides app updates

- bootloader unlock is available through developer options

-when trying to reach the bootloader it boots back into system

-rebooting to fastboot leads to fastbootd

Feel free to ask questions or suggestions. Not going to experiment too much as there is no KDZ/Firehouse available for this device.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] Wish39:
There is a KDZ for it: https://lgrom.com/firmware/LMV700N/KOR/V700N10K_00/9332

Disregard the fact that the page lists the model as a LG G Pad 10.1 lol, this is the Velvet 2 Pro KDZ.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
Sweet, thanks for the link, would've took me a while to stumble upon this.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] flp11748:
Hi! Are you still using the phone? What has been the experience and can you use it as a daily driver?

Thanks!

(I'm thinking of buying one)
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
My main issues are with the lock screen, I think it's related to the ambient light sensor. If it's dim in a room or outdoors the fingerprint sensor denies to scan your print. Then you would have to press the unlock button twice to turn on the screen. Double tap to wake won't work in this dim light state either. As for software it works fine just that it's stuck on Android 11(R).
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] flp11748:
Many thanks! That seems like a minor problem, I think.

Are the cameras good? And battery life?
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
The cameras are decent, I kind of like the gimbal feature it has, where the software does the gimbal effect similar to the LG wing. As for the battery on 4G it last about 6-7 hours on light usage. There's no 5g here in the US since it's for the Korean market.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] GMSS75:
I had the exact same problem with my Wing on the lock screen, for me it turned out to be my screen protector partially blocking the ear proximity sensor. Not sure if you're using a screen protector or not, but it's something to check anyway.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
I wish my issue was that simple. Maybe the sensor may need more calibration
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] flp11748:
Thanks, I was thinking of getting one on Ebay, they're at a reasoneable price now.

I had lots of LG's G4, G5, V30, V50 and Velvet.

It seems the battery life i kinda weak. Are you able to install apps from the Playstore, like Netflix, HBO, Disney+?
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
Yes, I can install all mentioned apps
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] flp11748:
Do you know the 4G and 5G bands it supports? I can't find this information anywhere,
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
I bought one off ebay. Shipped from Hong Kong. Will have hopefully on Saturday but prolly Monday. I've been looking/talking to all contact about abl/firehose. So far nada! I friend says the files are out there but just haven't been released.

I hope as soon as anyone has them they post. I will immediately dump the phone, strip out lun5, zip and post to androidfilehost. That way you'll always be able to restore to stock.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
Can you please post the LGUP you used?
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
It's says 2 day shipping but it'll take approximately 18-20 days to arrive assuming you purchased through the same seller I got mines from. As for the LG up I used it's version 1.16 patched using the DLL patcher called uppercut. I grabbed these from the v30/v30 threads. I'll edit my reply with the links shortly.

By the way I did try to do exactly what you're going to try to do, which is dump the phones contents I posted on the other thread related to the velvet 2 pro. LGUP gives an error and there is a KDZ available for this device. I'll post the contents of the KDZ on my Google drive and share the link as well.

[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
I'd feel a lot more comfortable flashing a GSI if I had a working backup. A14 Derpfest gsi is working pretty good on my v60.

Have you actually tried to lgup restore your v70?
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
So there is a KDZ available for the v700n and I did manage to extract the files. There's a partition called grow and that alone is somehow 33gb. The super.img is 24gb which makes more sense than the grow.img. total size of the extracted imgs is 57gb. What's even crazier to me is that the KDZ file size is 5.7gb. literally compressed 10x. I haven't tried to restore my velvet since I use it as my daily.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
The super.img size sounds pretty normal. Grow.img, at that size sounds like user data. When I use bkerler to dump a phone I have to skip userdata because it's the biggest partition by far.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
UPDATE:see the bottom for updated info- still need help

I'm new to this forum and having trouble searching for info I need. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it as I know you are supposed to search first.

My issue is a bit unique and I would love it if a real dev could chime in.

Here is the long story but I'll make it concise

S23U US edition: has a warranty with Samsung Care+ and Assurion via Carrier (company paid); dropped and got a small crack on screen

Took phone to UBreakiFix, phone put in maintenance mode in October, and screen repaired.

Maintenance mode does a quick backup of all files

2 weeks later, Sammy sent out Android 14/One UI 6.0 - which causes camera to fail

called Samsung, but nothing resets/fixes the phone-- nothing- even factory data reset. (FDR) 2 weeks now no camera still

FDR is full data wipe, including the secure folder- which isn't supposed to be backed up

I cant restore Samsung Gallery (It's ok - I have google photos)

now the kicker....

When I go to backup/restore in the settings - there are TWO restore files

ONE is the auto backup done nightly

TWO is the one from maintenance mode- when you see this file- it has a backup of the secure folder! and shows 7.88Gb data!

So, I restore option 2-> When I restore- the files come in from SCloud... they show up in the "My Files -> Internal Storage > SCloud > tmp > SecureFolder_Self..."

I can see all the files, but cannot access them as I belive they are encrypted.

If I could move them to the new Secure folder I believe they would open--- but when I move files they do not-

I believe it is because they do not have the encryption key with them.

any help appreciated

UPDATE:

I have tried to restore the secure folder again- still shows up in the "My Files" section under "Scloud > tmp> SECUREFOLDER_SELF" and within this folder are a bunch of .zip folders---

I took the time to

1) move the entire folder from "my files" into "secure folder > my files"

2) went through any .zip folders and "extract" them right where they were for a new file

still nothing

went to a local T-mobile store and used a new device and downloaded only the secure folder to see what would happen - did not work - however, i did not download the entire restore file as that may have taken a very long time

3) when I restore the file many times the restore crashes as I do the restore as it is a lot of data, therefore I have to do it in chunks as in calls, contacts, then later do settings, then do home, then do messages, etc.

still looking for a resolution. any help appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
any better forum to post this in ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
Did you try restore from backup from settings secure folder?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Be patient. You can try Samsung members forum and some Gookill searches.

It doesn't look promising. Security and encryption are worthless if they lock you out and cause you to lose critical data. Get a good case for that phone, the Zizo Bolt offers good protection but haven't used it for that model.

That phone needs to be cased or it will get damaged or destroyed, eventually.

At this point maybe all you can do is learn from your mistakes and formulate a better plan for the future.

Always regularly and redundantly backup critical to at least 2 drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Never encrypt data drives and especially backup drives. You can never have too many backup drives. Time staggering them is best.

Having unencrypted expandable storage is heaven when used as a data drive. After the last Note Samsung decided to bone it's flagship users. My N10+'s running on Android 9 and 10 remain a joy to use. My database for them is at around 700gb. Cloud storage is useless to me other than Gmail which is used for security reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Never encrypt data and backup drives? Can you give us ONE PROPER reason why the drives that contain (most likely) sensitive data wouldn't be encrypted?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
Yes,

unfortnuately there is no back up in the secure folder settings area. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
I would have thought images were backed up to cloud in a secure way

I transferred data from my S20U to the S23U without issues. This is whats confusing to me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Google it. In one of the recent updates Samsung changed the behavior for this app. Updates and upgrades can and do break Samsung's.

I'm still running on Pie on this stock N10+, I rarely have to do any troubleshooting. Security simply isn't an issue for Android 9 or higher unless you do stupid things. Last factory reset was over 3.5 years ago and it's still running strong. That what Android is capable of if you don't muck with the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
that doesnt help me now

I have files in my downloads section from when I used "Restore"

Those files have my secure folder data which I need.

I need to move those download files to the new secure folder and somehow have them accessed.

THEN - I will happily take your advice and downgrade to a Note10 and android 9

So, can you help me get there?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
I think you don't have the encryption key, if so the files are lost. The encryption key is tied to the OS load the files were encrypted on... unless those keys were somehow saved.

If there's a solution you can find it with some Google searches. After doing a few myself it doesn't look good. Of course I could be mistaken...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
This is EXACTLY what I am thinking

However.... In my SCloud backup there is the ENTIRE secure folder data ... Which SHOULD have the encryption key in it.. I'm guessing the files just can't see it bc I don't have it in the right area for the software not find it

The files need to be moved IN TOTAL to the Secure Folder from the regular node of my phone WITH THE KEY but I can't figure how to do that
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Try using your Google account to restore them.

Start doing some Google searches and see what others say. You're not the only one.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
Ive been searching and asking on all different forums for days - anyone else have any other suggestions - see update to initial post above
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Well I hesitate to say this and say it with great trepidation because of their horrible track record; Samsung tech support😖

It's worth a shot... in the foot. Occasionally you get lucky though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
Nearly TWO WEEKS - I have called them almost daily - and spent 2 hours on the phone with different individuals, almost daily-- FOR. TWO. WEEKS....

If the files were corrupted, I wouldn't see 7.88GB of data in the folder - it would be KB at best- not 7.88 GB.

The files are there, no one at Sammy knows how to get them over to the secure folder to unlock them and view them... and before anyone says it - yes I have copied the entire folder and moved it- I have moved individual files.

needless to say-- I have the files on my PC now---- will be getting a new phone tomorrow.

maybe they are gone- maybe I get them back - its drained me at this point
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
I found this.

&

Samsung's guide to it.

The data in the secure folders could be corrupted for whatever reason. 1kb or 100tb of corrupted data is still corrupted data. It can happen.

Otherwise try escalating the issue to a Samsung engineering team. I never was able to do this with Samsung but it doesn't mean it's impossible. However even they can't raise the dead.

This is why I never trust cloud backup or encryption for critical data.

I copy/paste everything that's critical. Always verify it's readable/viewable on a different OS ie Windows or Mac. Cross platforming reduces the risk of malware spreading between devices although the data itself can still contain it.

NEVER clone a data drive as you can lose null marks.

Always make at least two copies on two separate drives that are normally isolated from each other and the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 95gsrturbo:
thank you for the advice on backups - truly

in addition, thank you for the term "Samsung Engineering team"

Will try that now

Greetings all,

NO, I am not the Prince of Darkness (most of the time, anyway). I AM a recently retired person who has just the most basic knowledge about Android, and I decided to check out what Android TV boxes are all about.

I decided on a HK1 Rbox model K8 running Android 13 since it is supposed to be based on Android 13 and does not require rooting. I was a little disappointed that it came with apps installed that I never heard of, and in spite of the seller's claims to the contrary, their customer service leaves a great deal to the imagination, especially for a greenhorn like myself. But so be it.

I'm looking forward to meeting folks in the forum, and learning about just how little I know about Android TV! LOL Still, with time and patience (on the part of the other forum denizens) I'll eventually get some sort of handle on things!

Cheers!

[General Questions and Answers] tv2q0:
Hi everyone. I've using years ago the program FreeOTFE, then LibreCrypt with not many problems; i can say this task (creating and using containers, and creating encrypted partitions) on windows, is user friendly. Recently, i´m using veracrypt, equally user friendly. Even, sometime ago, i used freeOTFE for windows mobile, and there is also user friendly . But the most seemed like to those programs that i find for android, EDS, is not only outdated, but i guess, aparently it doesn't work on newer android versions (mine is 11).

So as i'm not sure if this app doesn't work on newer android versions, or if i don't know how to use it (is not so user friendly), please tell me if this app still works on newer android versions, and if it does, please explain me how to use it (or at least where is located the mounted container, and how can i see it and use it from a custom file browser - i use RS File explorer-)

Any info i will appreciate. Thanks for your attention.
[General Questions and Answers] JackDSRS:
Sovworks has released EDS NG which is compatible to version 13.

There are some differences between EDS and EDS NG. For simplicity's sake, I'm going to call them V1 and V2. V2's GUI is much friendlier than V1. It can be launched as a calendar, and the calendar itself has numerous functions, not just decryption. It can do cloud file encryption as well as many other protocols. There's a monstrous new amount of features available.

But performance testing on an Android 10 non-rooted phone showed some dramatic differences in V1's favor.

Keep in mind, once the container is mounted, there's no performance difference. And I've submitted full notes and video logs to the developer for analysis. If mounting and dismounting speed are less critical than encryption and OTFE operations, you can ignore all this.

I use a 30GB LUKS 2 xFAT container. V1 lets me do a simple intent mount with no display of the program until mounted. Using simple intents, dismounting is almost instantaneous, with no sign anything is happening. The only sign that a container is mounted or dismounted is a symbol on the status bar. There are more complex intents available, but if the container has an extension like .eds, it can be opened as a mime type. The widgets can be bypassed altogether, but mount and dismount speed is as fast, as is using the full program. For discrete file mounting and dismounting, this is exactly what you want. Fast and as transparent as possible.

V2 currently works at a snails pace. There are no simple intents that work, so either full adb am intents, program widgets, or full program is required. The container can't be recognized as a mime type. Opening the app itself takes an inordinate amount of load time. Almost a minute and 15 seconds on my tablet, 35 seconds on my phone with enhanced processing enabled. That doesn't include mount or dismount time.

Then, mounting and dismounting is equally slow, plus dismounting requires an extra step. The widgets creep along. Mounting opens the full interface before password entry. Dismounting does as well and still requires that extra step.

Analysis still shows no trackers in either version. But I think compliance with Play Store policies really hampers its developement like all apps there. Because of its commercial and proprietory nature, distribution on F-droid or Github seems unlikely ever.

That said, it's still being improved, especially having side by side timed comparisons and detailed notes to work with. Its being developed with the highest Android versions in mind and OTFE and high encryption standards remain a priority. V2's speed has already increased significatly since I ran my benchmarks.

There's a special note here about pricing. If you have the full version of V1 (not liteo, the full features will carry over to V2. Otherwise, it'll run about $30 for the everything. If you have the full V1, its worth trying V2. It won't overwrite V1 and can use your existing container.

I''ve attached the most current list of V2's undocumented intents straight from the developer if you know how to use them.

Also a list of features now available with V2.
