anyone know if this phone is HTC made or just some other brand? it is fairly new so there isn't a whole lot out there explaining this. wikipedia doesn't even have an article on it.
[General Topics] joel2009:
Its htc :)

Please post question in the Q&A section from now on.
[General Topics] untrueparadox:
hm.. good device or no? doesnt seem to use windows mobile?

definitely looks pretty nice. we'll probably have a section for this phone soon too.

edit

sry mod its actually UTStarcom's Knick which is probably why wm6 isnt on there.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AToska21:
Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there is a TWRP image for the Z Fold 4 (q4q) since I couldn't find any (or the creator had taken them down). I found a GitHub for it, but couldn't find out how to build it. The GitHub is linked here.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] BotchedRPR:
here's built from the tree:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AToska21:
Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] BotchedRPR:
can confirm it's kind of working - do NOT run multidisabler the one included as the tree doesnt have lptools so it wont work
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AToska21:
can confirm it works. but the screen likes tapping on random places does this happen for you or is my device just stupid?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] BotchedRPR:
don't touch the cover screen :) it recognizes touch from there
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AToska21:
oh, thanks! also, is there a way to get the cover screen working or is that just not possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] BotchedRPR:
i didn't mess with it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AwesomeMcCoolname:
Sorry for the dumb question, but can you mount Data? It shows 0mb for me and it can't mount it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] BotchedRPR:
fully wipe it, encryption.

next boot it'll re encrypt.

i don't have time to fix multidisabler to disable it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AwesomeMcCoolname:
That will factory reset the phone, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] BotchedRPR:
Yes

Hello fellow P8P users!

Did anyone manage to bypass the US only restriction of Gemini for the Pixel? I'd like to use it and even the function as a assistant. I live in Germany.

I've heard that a US based account is required... Anyone know how to make one? Is it enough then?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Erecik:
It's completely random, some people just got apk from Apkmirror and it's working. I have P8P in Poland and I was unable to start Gemini.

I've heard that You have to set up phone, assistant and offline speech recognition to ONLY US ENGLISH and it should work, but in my case it's still reporting wrong localization. I even tried spoofing my GPS but nah...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Sasaiber:
Turn off Google Assistant, open Gemini, change the language to English in Assistant.

Works in Ukraine. Without VPN/American Google account.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DespairFactor:
is that all you did? mine still prompts me that I am in an unsupported country
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] abalam:
Yeah, me also
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] tzyoong:
Downloaded the apk from ApkMirror, turn on VPN to US, launch the Gemini app. Done
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] abalam:
Tested and not working
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tropson:
What helped for me is changing the languages and then clearing the data and cache of the Gemini app. Works since then.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] abalam:
And it works, all languages are set to US.View attachment 6066782
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] srt54558:
View attachment 6066783

Mine says this all the time :/

Even on the website. But generative Google search works. Bard/Gemini doesn't work at all. I created a new Google account with a VPN and spoofed location on. Can anyone help?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] SkylinesHD:
For me, in Germany, it also works when changing the Assistant language to English.

However, it's not a permanent solution. Changing it back to German will disable Gemini App again, and I'm not really in the mood to speak english all the time :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] srt54558:
I am in Germany too. Have you verified your age on Google? It just throws an error on gemini
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] SkylinesHD:
Yes
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LazyBones123:
Just created an account to say it worked! Thank you! :]
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Sasaiber:
Yes! Everything worked for me without problems 🫠
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Sasaiber:
You're welcome 😌 Glad it helped
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
This works. Unfortunately, you have to keep your assistant in english.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 5.1:
Hi,

Worked here as well. Disabled assistant and opened gemini and voilà 👍

Got it set in English by default anyway.

I'm in France by the way...

Cheers

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
Its not available in Australia either, but the APK works fine. I set the language to us, but the output of Gemini is in Australian.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Jens1969:
Does anyone know, how to grant access to my calendar? Gemini claims, it can't access my calendar. But it never asked for access rights.

[General Questions and Answers] CedarWaxwing:
I want to install the Manage Engine MDM software on a Samsung Galaxy phone to block factory reset and safe mode so I cannot bypass software that protects against viewing inappropriate content. I am getting confused with the information I am getting from Manage Engine. I am wanting to know if QR code enrollment offers the same protection that Samsung Knox enrollment provides. In my research of MDM software, I know from reading competitor MDM software information that only Samsung devices offer the ability for MDM software to block not only factory reset in the settings, but also the factory reset that can be achieved by restarting the phone and pushing certain combinations of the volume and power buttons. I have read that it is Samsung Knox security that can allow MDM to block the factory reset from this recovery menu. So I am wondering if merely using QR code enrollment offers the same security for a Samsung Galaxy phone as Knox enrollment does? I don't want to buy a $1200 Samsung Galaxy phone and end up having a not completely protected phone if QR code enrollment does not block all the ways to factory reset.

This is the article that explains QR code enrollment:

QR Code (EMM Token) enrollment - Enroll Android | ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus

Provision Android devices as Device Owner using QR Code (EMM Token) enrollment available in Mobile Device Manager Plus. Try free for 30 days!

www.manageengine.com

What I need to know about QR code enrollment is which enrollment template do I use? Three enrollment templates are explained in the how to article. One is kiosk mode which I do not think I want to use because I don't want to limit apps. The second enrollment template is enrollment through directory authentication which I do not think I want to use because I do not maintain the listed directories for myself. I think that I want to try the third option which is assigning devices individually through manually adding the user.

However Samsung Knox enrollment is described in this how to article, but the first time I read it, it seemed so complicated that it would take a rocket scientist to understand it:

Samsung Knox Device Enrollment | ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rockman_x:
just a heads-up guys, if you're going to use NikGapps, do not install Pixel Launcher/PixelSpecifics addon. it will crash the ROM's Wallpaper & Style in the Settings menu
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] earthfun1993:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MUSHONIM:
Thanks again buddy. I managed to install it and get the Google apps working but I have problem with Google wallet. It doesn't open. Says at the beginning - "There was a problem with setting the active account"

I tried to read a lot before asking and understood i need to hide the wallet app from the root but it doesn't seem to be the issue because even when I uninstall the root I still have the issue. I once managed to open it through the top apps menu (the one that you have when lowering the top curtain) but since then it didn't work again.

Maybe I need a different gapps package for the note 8?

Do you know about this issue ?

Thanks for any help..❤️

EDIT: I have reseted the system and now the wallet is working. still can't get it to add a card info because of root. I am now trying to prevent id from detecting the root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Peter12205:
It is the root that is causing it to not be able to detect the Google Wallet, format the partitions to start clean with nothing and install everything except Magisk to make it work, or you can use some Magisk module to hide the safetynet. The package that I sent you works as a wallet since I have my Galaxy S8+ dream2lte without root, apart from the package of those Google apps so that I have more fluids in the system since it only contains what is necessary to log in to Google.

Not rooted and no Gapps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MUSHONIM:
Hi Peter, after a lot of testing I managed to make it all work with root, wallet app, android auto, gapps , WhatsApp plus with backup restore and more. The rom seems to work well. Thank you .

I'm now going to make a full back of the system and data with twrp. What should I know before doing that ?

Also, I'm experiencing an issue with the volume of calls. I installed gapps and it also installed a dialer from Google as a system app which made the audio of call not working at all. I had to uninstall it through the config file of the gapps package and I the system left with no dialer at all... after that I installed the google dialer through play store and it works and I have sound during calls. But now the system call volume roker doesn't affect the volume of the speaker or the ear audio. Media volume roker works well. What can I do to fix it?

Bty, the wallet issue wasn't because of root. The problem was lack of permission which made wallet not finding my Google account . Hope it helps someone..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Peter12205:
I think that the problem with the audio of the calls may not be fixed. I installed both the Google dialer and the one that the cell phone had with lineage and nothing, I don't hear the calls but the people who dial me do hear me and at least for me, I have I have to restart the cell phone so that it works and I can listen to them again, but apart from that I noticed that the microphone when sending an audio on WhatsApp is too low. This has happened to me since Android 13, I don't know if it happened to me on Android 11 since it only lasted a month with Android 11 and Android 13 lasted almost 4 months and Android 14 is only a month away so I couldn't tell you how to fix your error.

And regarding the backup of the lineage os system, I always copy the efs and the data and system in twrp to be able to restore it immediately, the only bad thing is that if you had any file in the internal memory it does not save it so if you have something in the Internal memory, transfer it to the SD card.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] StarLederer:
Hi, thanks a lot for your work!

I've been using this ROM for about a month and something that has stood out a lot is that the ROM has SELinux in permissive mode. My device is rooted but I am very sure Trust was warning me about permissive SELinux even with a clean boot (otherwise I would not be posting this) though it would be difficult for me to test again because I am running this on my main (and only) phone.

I see that there are no denials if i execute dmesg | grep denied as su (as described here), and the update log mentions having fixed some SELinux denials so it seems like having it in permissive mode is not intentional?

I am familiar with Linux but not at all with Android and my SELinux is also lacking so I am not sure where to even start looking. I tried executing setenforce 1 but getenforce and other checking apps still report permissive SELinux.

Is this something I broke? In case not is there any way I can help fix it?

My Note 8 can't hear from phone call. Micro is ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] StarLederer:
On mine call volume controls are not working and it is very quiet. The slider moves but the volume doesn't change. I had the same issue with Hades ROM for years. I don't make enough phone calls so I've just been working around this by using headphones but this is pretty annoying.

Is this perhaps caused by unusual hardware that the kernel is lacking a driver for? I'm actually surprised this has not been reverse-engineered after so many years, if that's the case
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TACOMPUTER:
I think cause from version Nikgapps (i using basic)

Does Dex work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PoPMind:
I think most of you know, but the function "nearby share" has been changed to "quickshare". However, latest version of Pixel ROM, when you try to use nearby share, it tells you to update because the function has changed, but when you press the button, there is no response. Therefore, file sharing is not possible. Will Lineage ROM support this function properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PoPMind:
I don't think so.

I used note 8 with the latest pixel exprience rom but it does not support the function properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maxed4901:
Hey @Ivan_Meler Thanks for working on the note 8. I was on 19.1 and thought will update..grabbed the nickgapps omni package and rom from Git..

After rebooting with rom+gapps i rebooted and flashed latest magisk. Flash and reboot..

And then flashed pixelify v3. Amazingly it doesnt say its compatible with android 14. But i am happy to report it works flawlessly. Hooray. Will be on 21 for a while i guess. I hope @kingsman44 maintains pixelify for android 14.

Can the RMM bypass work with this, or does both states above need to be normal for the bypass to work? As I understand, we can no longer go to normal since the server responsible for it is dead?
