[Android TV General] Johnny Motel:
Hi, I am totally new to Android TV so forgive my ignorance!

I work with a group who take educational videos into UK prisons on a regular basis. Up to now, we have had to use DVD's, mainly for security reasons with laptops etc in prisons. But DVD's are such a dying breed I want to find a better way to bring our content into the prison environment.

This is where I alighted on the Android TV box.

This could solve our situation on two fronts a) increased image quality SD to FHD videos b) the boxes can store all our material and can be easily set up as dumb playback devices.

In prisons, WiFi is totally locked down, so any ATV box would could not be used to access the internet.

This all brings me to my main question. I would like to find an app or similar method that would allow us to create menu driven lessons (similar to that on a DVD).

I thought about creating Powerpoint type files that can incorporate menu links to videos, but have so far drawn a blank.

A lesson in our course consists basically of a menu with lesson subject and the titles of each video. I would need to be able to have the titles link to each vdeo.

Thanks for reading my post and I hope I can find a solution here.

Hi,

I used SAMFW tool 4.9 to change CSC from XSG to INS using MTP rather than ADB in this version as it was moved. Then I flashed the latest INS firmware on top of it. Got call recording function and Samsung wallet which supports UPI. Most importantly my 5G network in airtel works great now without changing to 4G. My doubt now is,

Will I receive OTA updates?

Service provider software version is SAOMC_SM-S918B_OXM_INS_14 0012 INS/INS,INS/XSG/XSG. Here the last two are also XSG. I saw the last one denotes manufactured country and cannot be changed, since last two are same I don't know what to make of it.

Appreciate any of your inputs. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
1. Yes

2. Don't worry about them. The other one is carrier ID or something, which doesn't matter anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] arunkr:
Hi there, I wanted to change my s24u from EUX to INS, but getting lot of mixed opinions about samfw and also triggered lot of threat warnings in windows defender.. so did you do any research or have any info regarding this please?.. scared that I'll get some malware into my phone...😅
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Use Samfw 3.31 version, less bloat compared to 4.9
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] corepda:
Anyone did switch from INS to XSA amd her the updated FW and then reverse without losing data?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] arunkr:
Ya, I heard from someone else as well. Apparently the version (3.31) didn't trigger any warnings...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
How do you download the 3.31 version, I only see download link for latest version on site

Edit: I used wayback to find direct link from their site for 3.31

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14871746926876835679

Is it possible to flash INS to US version?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] arunkr:
I'm not quite sure of INS to US, you might need to see what are the available CSCs in your current phone..or else just search around with your current csc code,I remember seeing the available cscs in some thread.

Edit: Go through this thread, it may help you gather those details:- https://xdaforums.com/t/sd-native-call-recording-csc-without-rooting.4404139/
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
Thanks. I just checked and also tried to manually enter CSC. Limited to NA CSCs and GCF which is Global Certification Forum and requires manual updates. GCF however enables the sim toggles which I need.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] arunkr:
Great.. did u use the 3.31 version?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
Yes at first I used 4.8/4.9 but I kept having to suspend my virus protection

I downloaded 3.31 getting link from wayback machine and it works in a VM

It does work to change CSC still , not sure about enabling secret codes when on Verizon CSC, I had done that with the newer version

But I do not think GCF has call recording and does not do auto updates
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] faw2816:
Hi all, I have tried multiple times to change CSC to GCF on my S23. version 4.9 won't change the CSC at all even though I would choose GCF or manually type in GCF. However, when I tried 3.31 version. It does change the CSC but then upon reboot phone prompts with a popup saying to choose the carrier settings I want to have phone download then only option it reboot. It won't go away.

Is there a workaround? All I want is to enable different sim card for the data and different for the call and text.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] faw2816:
Hi Jeff, I tried doing the CSC change, the phone does allow choosing different sim for text/call/data but after a few seconds or a min or two, forces to choose which sim settings I want to load, AT&T or T-Mobile settings.

What do you recommend to do? I tried using 4.9 version but it doesn't change the CSC and tried 3.31 and that changes but then I must choose a carrier settings else phone won't go past that popup. Thanks

PS: The pop up appears that won't go away says:

Select provider update​

Your device will restart to configure features​

supported by the new SIM card.​

AT&T

T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
Are you familiar with adb? Google the command to disable cidmanager. That disables forced reboot that reverts cdc change. Or you could use an app that disables processes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] faw2816:
Thanks. I forgot that part. Finally got it to work after disabling the cid manager.

Is it possible to get native call recorder on US variant of S23? Also any experience getting backup calling to work on S23 with US carriers sim?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] arunkr:
I'm only looking to change csc from EUX to INS.. so I think the older version should be enough..btw in which phone did u use this on?..

Edit: also for the vm did you do it via hyper-v or some other tool?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nixter206:
I have xaa and i tried a lot to change it to ins but wasn't successful so far , can u help me more to go through that ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JeffATL:
I don't think this is possible, to go to INS csc from a North American phone
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] HelixCopex:
I'm not sure if I used the right term. This refers to when you unlock the bootloader lock, before the Android boot animation, there will be a screen indicating that you have unlocked the bootloader lock, and a sony logo screen.

Now the question is, how can I modify it?

I've browsed through the threads on other devices, and most of them point to the

"logo" and "Splash"

partitions, where newer Android devices place images that appear when they're turned on.

But sony's default android 12 doesn't seem to have anything like these two partitions.

I don't know anything about booting ARM and Android devices, so I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me which partition to start with!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pocs10:
Hi all,

i would like to know what software do everyone use for their GPS navigation?

I am currently using google map, which i find it very difficult to use since my wifi and GPRS connection to internet doesn't know available wherever i use, so i have to preloaded all the image before i go to the destination.

but then, when i accidentally closed google map, and reopen, all image will need to redownload again. Moreover, my internet traffic is incredible expensive here in brunei throught GPRS... is there any software i can pre download and save all the image to my phone first before i travel?

this will be useful for me since, i often travel by car across different country and which the internet will not be availabel when i cross the border of country.

Thanks ^^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] FuzzFuzz:
I just use Googlemaps or TomTom (preinstalled by my provider)

My provider is luckily enought so kind to give me unlimited internet access for only 10 euro's a month, and it's reasonable fast as well.

So I would suggest you find a better provider.

Maybe someone else knows how to download maps for you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pocs10:
good for you guys,

in my country, they only have two provider and it is own by royal family, and yes, they are trying to monopoly the whole market so we can only use slow and expensive provider...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Riel:
Don't use google maps but gat navigation software with maps (IGO Navngo or Tomtom)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peterc10:
Google maps rely upon downloads to update - that is why they give it away free - because the phone company make a fortune on the downloads. It is OK for me as I have unlimited downloads as part of my package.

So you need proper sat nav software that comes complete with maps stored on the device. There are several on market - Tom Tom, Garmin, Igo etc etc. But you need to get one that has maps of your area - Tom Tom (market leader in Europe) for example does not even list a Brunei (or anywhere else in that area) map for their Navigator software.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Royalty:
On Course Navigator- no need for internet

Just get your map on your miniSD card and your good to go.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peterc10:
And there lies the problem. AFAIK On Course Navigator is an American/Canadian product that only has maps for that area (according to their website) - so not a lot of good thousands of miles away in Brunei.

Its European equivalent is called Igo - and again that only sells maps of Europe (I think it goes as far East as Turkey!). So again no good!

I suggest you do your own research to find what sat nav systems supply maps for your area. Only then will you be able to decide which is best for you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pocs10:
hhmm, thanks for the help :p

will try it out this few day. however brunei is a small country and i think it is quite difficult to find software support here..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] band27:
Here is a question:

Which one do u like better and why, Tomtom or Igo8?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Espensodal:
Garmin

I use Garmin for navigation and google for sat img navigation (nothing beats real pictures from above ;) )

Garmin i use because its very storage space friendly. and its a great program. ill get some screenshots for you :)

Also if you buy by example a complete Europe map for Garmin, you can select which countries you want to have on your phone. So if you are going on vacation, you can just pull out that map from computer and transfer it to you diamond, and just erase it when you get back.

The dashboard is also nice :)

i like tomtom 7

i have benelux and west europe, it works great :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
+1 for Garmin Mobile XT. I find it has the best routing algorithm. It can also pull traffic information for certain areas through your 3G/EDGE connection (since the Diamond doesn't have traffic RDS). The only thing missing is TTS.

XT also supports 3rd party maps which is a big plus in case you live in an area where there are no commercial GPS maps available.

XT (and the basemap) is a free download from Garmin, and you can search for Brunei maps. Here's a thread with some more information:

iGo8.3 and Autosputnik - Russia and Europe

MioMap 2008 - for India

As for TomTom and Garmin - I really dislike the graphics compared to what iGo8 has to offer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jmermel:
To find out which program would be better for you, you would have to look at the map coverage for your area.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] davidgiga:
i use tomtom navigator 7. it's fast, has much features and good support.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] slam9:
igo8 is the best GPS software, 3d buildings are beautiful, but you have to close manila to run it without lag. much better than the other apps, but it has only european maps as i know.

These ARM32 port of Windows Vista and Windows 7 built-in games are from Windows RT Beta build 8061, someone ripped them and modified to run on Windows RT 8.1 and Windows 10 15035, I gained upload permission from him to here.

To get work on Windows RT 8.1, you need to copy or move "Microsoft Games" folder to "C:\Program Files" so they will run, Windows RT 8.0 is untested, but probably will work if do Instruction above.

They work nearly perfect, though they lack sound and Chess Titans doesn't support touch screen.

[Off-topic] Snowleopard1900:
Is there a list of devices (Phones and Tablets) even if they are off brand devices with SD Express? I am starting the search to replace my Note 20 Ultra and Tab S4 and I want SD Express or im not upgrading either of them.

If no such device exists, there is a lot of money in the mobile device market, maybe its time to define what new flag ship devices are since Samsung is leaving the note users hanging.
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
Same Q, different year😒

Yes, well... Samsung doesn't care what it's users want anymore in their flagships. You will take what they give you for lots of money and be happy. Not.

Not much out there for high end flagships with expandable storage.

One of the best phones ever made in my opinion is the N10+. I run two Snapdragons, one running on Android 9, the other 10. I recommend not upgrading past 10 although I prefer Pie. Supports at least a 1tb V-30 card.

It's long lived, gives good performance and SOT.

Best display/bezel ratio of any Samsung candy form factor phone. It's the only Samsung I would buy right now. Quality issues started with the N20U. Today Samsung is a mess just like Google Android. I don't see this changing any time soon.

New N10+'s can still be purchased but aren't cheap. Always buy from a trusted vendor. Used ones are inexpensive but will likely be loaded with Android 12. The last factory load was Android 10.
[Off-topic] galaxys8fan877:
Didn't even knew that SD express was a thing
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
Although expandable storage is needed a V30 rated card can transfer to data at about 3-4 gb @ minute. Plenty fast enough to stream anything you want to for real time usage. Even 1 tb cards are now getting relatively inexpensive.

Always buy a name brand card like the Sandisk Extreme. Minimum V-30 speed rated or higher.
[Off-topic] Snowleopard1900:
SD Express is suppose to be replacing SD and offers PCIe / NVMe speeds and transfer rates to SD cards. The MicroSD Express spec allows for up to 128GB per MicroSD Card where the current limit of regular Micro SDXC cards is 4TB (Only 1TB are commercially available).

I live in an area where 5G is almost everywhere, but I travel places that you cannot get any cellular service and GPS Sat. service can be spotty also so all these cloud services don't make sense for me.

There are also times where I have to use airplane mode or turn off data so having the data on the phone is the only option.
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
I got my 1 tb Sandisk Extreme about a year ago for my N10+ Runs great, zero issues.

4G uses less power. Few websites have download speeds fast enough to warrant the heavy power usage of 5G. The websites are the limiting factor most times.

I grab data once and don't play cloud shuffle with it because I have the onboard storage capacity. I'm using about 600 gb of the space now of the card.
