[Google Camera Mods] sensei_fritz:
Hi!

I am searching for a solution for my XRN12s (and the Poco M5s of my girlfriend). I tried lots of GCam versions and it's always the same problem. Everything works (selfie, main lens, macro) except the wide angle lens. When i try to use it the app crashes. So i was searching for a config file with the right settings. But i didn't find one for the XRN12s. Somewhere i read the configs for the XRN11s should work. I searched and found such a config file but it doesn't work, the app still crashes.

Does anybody know a working version of the GCam or a config file that solves the crashes? Or is there no chance with a Mediatek? When we bought our phones we didn't know this could be a problem.Thanks!
[Android TV General] Bob14525:
I recently purchased a T95Z Plus Android box for TV use. It has 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and uses an Allwinner H618 CPU running Android 12. I rebooted the device this morning and it won't finish booting. It sits at the T95Z Plus logo screen for a couple of minutes, and then switches to a black screen with Android in large white letters. The Android screen doesn't go away (let it run for 3 hours). I've been trying to reset it back to Factory Defaults. There is a reset button in the AV port, however it seems to operate differently from other boxes.

Directions that I've seen online say to press & hold the reset button, apply power, and when a menu appears on screen, release the button and select the reset option. However, with my box, if I hold the reset button when powering the device, nothing happens. The box itself doesn't light up like it normally does, and the TV screen remains black (no video). I've lost count of how many times I've tried this reset technique without resuts.

Does anybody have any ideas on how I might revive this box, or if it's even possible? I will admit that a couple of weeks ago I tried rooting the device using Kingroot and Magisk with no luck. I uninstalled the apps and the device had been working up until today, having gone through a couple of reboots. I did notice that the device took much longer to finish booting, but it did finish (until today). Originally, before trying to root it, upon powering up I would get the T95Z Plus logo for a short time, then it would boot into the main Android menu. When powering up after attempting to root, it would show the T95Z logo (for a much longer time), then the white Android on black screen for a short time, then go to the main menu. In retrospect, I should have tried resetting to Factory when I first noticed a difference in the boot procedure (hindsight's always 20/20).

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.
[Android TV General] damzye:
Hello mate, are you able to find a solution to this? If so kindly share. Thanks
[Android TV General] Bob14525:
Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution. What is so strange with this box is that the reset button, if pushed when powering up, results in a black screen. Nothing appears to happen. This makes trying to revert to factory virtually impossible.

[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Hey guys, when I got my unit I put nova launcher on and was able to put the map widget with the live map on the home screen.

Ever since I was having some issues with my unit and did a factory rest I am not able to see the widget anymore, I have reinstalled maps a few times, gave every permission to every app, googled and googled and googled but can't seem to figure it out.

The maps on the built in launchers work but I want my custom launcher.

Is there a service or app I need to make it work?

Please help it's been driving me crazy for the last few months. 😂

I can't seem to get any support for my unit through navifly, and I have a "sped" / ums512_1h10_natv api level 29

Android 10 (says 12)

Uis7862a vertical unit.

Edit:

Well, I spent to long in my car today trying to get the widget working, so long I fact my neighbors called the cops on me...

I tried setting up a nova launcher on my phone with the widget on the home screen, backing it up and resorting it on my headunit both with nova 7 and nova 8, and with a few different configurations.

Tried uninstalling maps, and installing a maps apk thinking maybe because it is installed in the system files it is not working properly?

Still didn't work.

Did a factory reset on my headunit, and tried it all again... Nothing.

I saw that the launcher had some apks in the system files, so I installed all of them... (bad idea got a system loop and had a forced factory rest.

So back to installing everything and setting up my unit the way I like...

So after months of trying to get google maps nearby traffic widget working on ANY 3rd party launcher (that dosent have it integrated FCC launcher, vivid, autozen) I'm out of ideas.

So if anyone has any ideas I should try please let me know!

Enjoy having a read through xda forums, post what you've enjoyed reading about and having fun trying, to solve your own issue, the problem you are experiencing.

I Have read every thread with the key words map, maps, uis7862, navifly etc. I installed a bunch of map apps, installed every launcher I can find, reinstalled maps and other apps..

I posted the screenshots in #2

ANY ideas?
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
No one know what your unit is.

Post Screenshots of Android System information including MCU version.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Your unit could be from several different platforms that use the same 7862 chip.

Like @marchnz says we need to see the MCU version from the head units settings.

The fact you've asked this question in the Android Head Units section makes me doubt your unit is an FYT and our FYT units might be very different.
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Sorry I thought I did my mistake here it is.
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
I think I posted the correct picture now.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
It's FYT - check out fyt sub forum.
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Sorry if I'm missing somthing here but I thought this was the FYT Android Head Units section?

Is there a better sub forum you could link me too?
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Google map widgets only show up as "shortcuts" if that helps anyone know my issue.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Do you have a screenshot when it was working in Nova? It will help more to see what kind of widget it is you're expecting to display
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Unfortunately not, but I it's called nearby traffic widget, I'll post a screenshot of it working on my phone.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Which version of Google Maps are you using on your phone? And what launcher? I don't have this widget on my phone with the latest Nova launcher beta and Maps
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Using an up to date samsung s22 ultra
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
You didn't answer my question. So which launcher? I assume OneUi Home. In my Tab S9 with OneUi Home I can see this widget, so something is up with Nova. In Total Launcher, none of the Maps widgets are available. I think this is a launcher specific issue

Edit : Sorry I see now it's Nova 7. I'm using 8 beta, maybe it has something to do with that. Do use the same Nova 7 also in your head unit?
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Other likely possibility is the different Android version. The Tab S9 is on Android 14, my phone is 11, while the head unit is 10
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
That's my line of thinking too, I am not sure what version is on my headunit atm I will have to check the next chance I get.

Although I have tried a every launcher I could find to test if the widget would show up and also a few versions of nova in the past.

II also think I am going to set up nova on my phone and make a backup to transfer to my headunit and see if the widgets remain.
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
I was thinking that too, but I had it working before I did a factory reset. So unless after a factory reset somthing that was installed before and is not in the factory settings / software.

I was hoping it was just an apk or setting I needed to change in order to make it work again.
[FYT Android Head Units] gedster314:
Taskbar seems to let you open apps in freeform there by giving you something similar, I have been playing with Waze and a mucic app in freeform at the same time. Also gives you a windows type taskbar too. It is a little buggy. Also you have turn on freeform in developer options. With freeform on, you lose the ability to open apps in splitscreen mode from the recent apps function but you can do it from taskbar and Tasker can do it. I have couple of Tasker task shortcuts on my home screen that have launch different combos of apps in splitscreen mode.

Tasker does split screen does have an issue where if you step out and hit the shortcut task again, the app that had focus last will appear in full screen when but if you hit home again and relaunch the shortcut you get splitscreen again. I think its because the task I created is using toggle-splitscreen, it being a toggle function.

Not sure I like the Taskbar freeform function over just doing split screen though.

[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
This is a good idea, but I agree with you that split screen is just a better option in my opinion.

I just want the widget to fill the space above my spotify widget on my home screen and a quick reference when I'm not navigating.

But mostly to fill the huge gap of nothingness.

Maybe I should be pouring more time in to finding a different widget to go there, I don't know...
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Anyone know if it is possible that google maps thinks it is installed on a SD card or not the correct place?

Is there a way to check or a script I could use to change / uninstall maps.apk to maps.apk.bak or better yet rename /move / remove the directory all together?

My phone is it installed in system/product/app(widget works perfectly, even on Nova)

My headunit it is in a different spot. (not in the car atm don't remember exactly, but it in emulated somthing or other)

I also noticed with apk analyzer that maps has a function with widget in the name but it just opens maps fully. I attached some pictures.

Tldr: is there a script I can use to remove maps without root?

Is there a script I can use to install maps in a different directory?

Dose maps possibly think it's installed on sd or wrong directory?

Thanks for any ideas friends.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No. Maps is installed in the product partition. That is completely read-only. You need to create a new kernel without Google Maps.

The script is not the issue. Removal is.

The product partition is where Google Maps should be installed if it comes pre-installed on a device. I do not understand why you think it is incorrectly installed.
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
I guess I'm just running out of ideas and don't know as much as yourself, I was just comparing my phone to my headunit to try and find a solution to my problem. Thanks for the info.
[FYT Android Head Units] zwil:
Hi. Did you manage to fix it?

I have the same problem: i cannot add maps widget on my car headunit, only shortcuts.

I have tried several launchers (Smart, Nova, Microsoft).

My car headunit is running Android 13, and my phone too. Maps widget works fine on phone. So I did a backup of my phone homescreen (with Smart Launcher) and transfered&restored it to headunit, but then it showed an error forcing me to delete the widget.

System and app are updated. All permissions granted also.

I have no problem on adding widgets from other apps (youtube, amazon, spotify, etc)
[FYT Android Head Units] Phameh:
Unfortunately not, I tried to do the phone backup as well with nova launcher, but it just was not on the homepage when restored on the headunit, I have tried every permission, a bunch of launchers and even other map apps all with no luck, I know when I 1st got the unit it worked, after doing a default restore it stoped. Once when I put the "traffic" shortcut it came up after a restart, but once I tried to resize it it disappeared and I was never able to make it come back.

I am kind of at a loss with it so if you find anything it would be greatly appreciated if you would share.

I have not tried to do any rooting or flashing of other firmwares other then getting rid of the bottom navigation bar simply because I can't afford to buy a new headunit if I brick the unit and I'm not sure if they will work with my vertical unit.

I read somwere that widgets won't work if they are installed on a SD card, but as somone said in this thread maps is installed in the system files so I'm not sure what the next move or thing to try is.

I have tried installing maps from an apk separately and that also didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Mysteriousdewd:
So I successfully managed to get OEM unlock to appear on my device in android 13 on a newly bought tablet but the steps in this thread:

[TUTORIAL] How To Unlock & Root Tab A7 Lite T220/T225, & Install LSPosed, Magisk, Mods

While some of these instructions are copied from other sources, I combined all the different things I learned, because no one guide was sufficient, and all needed additional info, so I expanded it all to one place. Part I is partly from...

xdaforums.com

Don't work with my tablet as it is the wifi only model and it doesn't have a CSC or IMEI/SN.

Can I just flash Magisk using odin like I would on an older samsung device by putting the apk/zip into the AP slot? Or do I need to create a patched boot first?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] tom.android:
No,

1.extract (boot.IMG.lz4 & vbmeta.IMG.lz4) from AP .tar.md5 create a new tar file.

2. Patch no.1 tar file above with magisk.

3. Create (patched boot.IMG + patched vbmeta.img) tar file

4. Flash no.3 tar file at AP slot with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Mysteriousdewd:
So since frija and samfirm can't work with a wifi model tablet since it doesn't have a CSC or IMEI/SN

Where would you recommend getting the firmware from? sammobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] abc1054:
You can get it through this Link, it works good. Never had a problem. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Mysteriousdewd:
For some reason the link kept breaking on my web browser for it to navigate to samfw but manged to get it to work. Cool to learn from that website that I accidentally purchased the canadian version which seems to be why the bootloader easily unlocks. But typically samsung doesn't like to lock down the wifi models I've found.

Appreciate the link I'll go about patching it now that I know what to look for.

Greetings,

Currently own a Pixel 7a and a Moto g100, and using an unlimited data plan

The option to use the 5Ghz band for wifi tethering is greyed out on my Japanese phones.

View attachment 6057056

The message given is, "Not available in your country or region."

The 6Ghz option isn't functional as well.

Wanting to use Steam Link with less connectivity issues on a Chromebook, but 2.4Ghz and bluetooth connectivity options cause occasional dropped connections.

Non-root tethering apps such as Netshare and PDANet (old school!) seem to be reliant on the 5Ghz option to be enabled in settings, so they crash.

So far, info about this issue is scant from my view.

Open to ideas!
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Try this:

bypass 5GHz hotspot restriction

ok, this has lead to a point i need some help and advice. background: i have unlocked and rooted mi max 3, which has twrp and magisk. because of reason i have installed dotos, which seems to work enough. i probably test back miui coming months...

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] GTD1113:
I'm wanting to unbrick my LG G8X that I got like 3 years ago, just to have as a backup phone. But whenever I try to access Uppercut I get the error "DLL for G850UM20g is invalid".. and then when I try to access LGUP it says LGUP can't load the model.

I also get "Error 0x81000302, please use latest DLL

Laf Protocol version is not match DLL
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] xXx yYy:
Verify the DLL file compatibility, will say check the DLL files associated with Uppercut and LGUP to ensure they match the firmware version of your LG G8X. The correct DLL file should have a version number that matches or is higher than the firmware version of your device.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] speed&vodka:
My 8T K2003 (EU) bricked in a way I've never seen before and I'm not able to solve despite many tries.

I can only reach one of two modes (and this is half-random, i.e. I'm not fully in control of which mode it boots into):

1. This mode which I call "fail recovery" is when I turn-on normally (i.e. PowerOn key only, or POn/Vol-)

View attachment 6057046

In this mode (see picture) connecting the phone to the USB port goes undetected, the phone's not even seen as an "unknown" device (redundant to say, the MSM Tool doesn't detect it either).

2. This other mode which I call "crazy fastboot" is achived sometimes when I turn-on PowerOn/Vol+

This looks just like normal fastboot, the reason I add "crazy" is because:

a) As soon as I touch any of the Vol+/Vol- the menu starts scrolling thru the options in rapid succession:

Show barcode ->Recovery mode ->Restart bootloader ->START ->Power OFF ->Show barcode...

None of the options is "selectable", i.e. pressing PowerON just stops the scroll, releasing it restarts the endless scroll.

b) The fastboot screen lack some of the version numbers (although I'm not sure if "normal" fastboot shows them), the screen reads exactly:

Fastboot Mode

PRODUCT_NAME - kona

VARIANT - SM8 UFS

BOOTLOADER VERSION -

BASEBAND VERSION -

SERIAL NUMBER - <the serial number>

SECURE BOOT - yes

DEVICE STATE - unlocked

In this "crazy fastboot" I can, well, fastboot the phone. But except for a few harmless commands like 'devices' and 'reboot' there's little I can do. Booting on TWRP ramdisk never worked (not even when functioning good). Flashing recovery says "OKAY" but doesn't have an impact, same for flashing boot.

I'm no fastboot expert, so I haven't tried the more advanced commands for lack of knowledge.

CONCLUSSION

At this point in time my only interest is for the phone to come back alive, I don't care about the data. The real problem here is that it seems there's no way to get to EDL mode, in which case I would sure be able to use the MSM Tool to load some firmware.

So that's the problem layed, I'd be greatful if anyone knows how to get out of this kind of brickness.

Edit: asking for the variables (`fastboot getvar all`) I notice some values that might hint that if I manage to change the slot, it may be able to boot...? (BUT, `fastboot --set-active=other` is unrecognized and shows the fastboot help screen)

(bootloader) current-slot:a

(bootloader) has-slot:boot:yes

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:b:7

(bootloader) slot-unbootable:b:yes

(bootloader) slot-successful:b:yes

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:a:7

(bootloader) slot-unbootable:a:no

(bootloader) slot-successful:a:no

(bootloader) slot-count:2
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] TheNewHEROBRINE:
How did you manage to brick your phone this way? I have never seen anything like this either. Are you able to completely turn off the phone?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] speed&vodka:
Yes I can turn off, I've noticed that pressing Vol+/PwOn for 10 full seconds turns phone OFF from almost any mode.

Regarding how did I get there, well... playing/hacking it (ain't this why all of us are here after all? ;-)), maybe I went too far this time. Technically speaking, this is how this nightmare started: I accepted an OTA update while in V12.0 (supposedly the OTA was taking it to V12.1). I wanted desperately to grab the OTA .zip file before it got erased, so I let it finish downloading, then it began "decompressing". While decompressing, I tried but could not find the .ZIP nowhere within a file manager so I guessed it probably was located in some folder out of reach of userdata, so I thought "If I interrupt decompression and boot straight to TWRP I may be able to grab the OTA .ZIP from deep within the bowels of the phone before the OTA process erases it". I forced the phone off, tried to get to recovery by pressing [Vol-] and the screen went straight to fail recovery. Struck since then.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Very weird, reboot during an upgrade shouldn't cause any harm.

You can try to power off the phone then connect it to the computer while having MSM tool open and while holding vol+ and vol-, normally it goes into EDL mode this way.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] speed&vodka:
Tried that already. Goes straight to crazy fastboot (not always, there's some random into which mode it turns on)
