[General Questions and Answers] Slow in the head:
@xXx yYy, thanks for the input, but this is more of a comparison about the installation/compatibility/user-friendliness, but I wanted more of a comparison in terms of their existing modules abilities: I want to hear stuff like 'with KernelSU all the network-related modules [this, that and that one in particular] will work faster as packets gets filtered right in the kernel space without an extra hop to user space', or 'with KernelSU this module patches your /system partition right away, so you can cut stock spying crap once and for all until next firmware upgrade and that means that even if you do a factory reset - they won't re-appear)'.

[These 2 examples are just the ideas of possible answers, they aren't necessarily true.]

No, it is a root manager: it provides su binary and it handles apps requests for elevation of rights and prompts user for the decision. That's the very sign of being a root manager.

Hmmm, just learned about Magisk Manager, will try it and see what it adds.

That developer is also quite not friendly: not only he closed my ticket that request adding a build of kernel for my device (since there's neither build specific for my kernel, nor even a matching 'AnyKernel3' build), but also was very not-friendly in his interaction.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You are absolutely WRONG.

Take note that both the KernelSU and and Magisk ( BTW: Magisk is deprecated, today Kitsune Mask is used instead ) rely on companion apps called "Manager"and this for several reasons:

Functionality and Control:

Granting Root Access:

The manager app acts as a central hub for managing root permissions. It allows you to grant or deny root access to individual apps on your device. This granular control is essential for security, as not all apps should have unrestricted system access.

Configuring Rooting Features:

Many features of rooting tools are configurable through the manager app. This might include managing custom fonts, scripts, or optimizing battery life.

Security Management:

The manager apps offer features like managing SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) contexts, which can be important for maintaining system stability and security after rooting.

Unrooting:

The manager app often provides a way to easily unroot your device if you decide you no longer want root access.

Usability and Convenience:

User Interface:

The manager app provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with the rooting tool. This is especially helpful for users who might not be familiar with command-line interfaces sometimes used for rooting.

Updates and Management:

The manager app can be used to check for updates to the rooting tool itself and manage its settings.
[General Questions and Answers] Slow in the head:
1. Could you, please, provide a link to the official source of Kitsune Mask? I've googled this - is that the one? (I'll suppose it is for the sake of my next point).

2. Why do you say Magisk is deprecated? If you compare these two projects - you'll see that Magisk has more recent commits and more recent release than Kitsune Mask. And it's not like it was not maintained for years, the last commit was just 1 week ago.

As for the rest of your message - I am confused: those are valid points I don't argue with, but they don't support the claim that Magisk/KernelSU (or not mentioned earlier SuperSU and probably a bunch of similar solutions) are not root managers. They do all the stuff you mentioned (well, not as deeply granular as configuring SELinux contexts, but at least they give user the control over which apps may and which may not get root permissions).
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I recommend searching at your own for "Magisk vs Kitsune Mask" to find the differences: I'm not interested to show them / explain them here.

My last 2 cents here: I no longer contribute this thread, I discontinue. :)
[General Questions and Answers] kjkent:
Magisk isn't deprecated. The last release was in Feb, the last commit was 4 days ago. Magisk Delta (aka Kitsune Mask) is a fork by HuskyDG. Last release and commit both seem to be ~5mo ago, but that's not to say that's deprecated either. The dev of Magisk is now a Google employee, so, make of that what you will. Magisk does not hide its own presence (Edit: There is an option to hide the Magisk app, but this is often insufficient masking from more security-conscientious apps), whereas Magisk Delta incorporates a module (MagiskHide, I think also by HuskyDG?) to do this. Users of the 'official' Magisk can accomplish similar by way of the LSPosed module Shamiko which tries to hide either Magisk or Zygisk, I'm unsure which. There's some other, minor differences but I'm not clued up on them.

It's pretty inconsequential whether someone chooses to think of Magisk as a tool for rooting, or a manager of root permissions. The README kinda suggests the name covers more than one bit of code, which together comprise both functionalities mentioned above.

One thing that isn't clear in this thread though is that there's no "Magisk" and "Magisk Manager" as distinct offerings. Magisk Manager is the GUI/app/interface of Magisk. On the Magisk release page, this is the `.apk` on offer. It's phrased above as if "Magisk Manager" is something else that people can download, whereas it's just Magisk, which should only be downloaded from the official repo or your phone will download so much malware that it will come to life at 2am and suffocate you with your own pillow.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwegrfr211:
Hi, so I have this 2013 tablet that never got a system upgrade and it's really outdated and barely anything runs on it anymore (it runs android 4.4.2) so I was wondering recently how hard is it to make a newer version of Android run on it? is it downloading a newer raw android then editing and adding the device's information and drivers to that raw os? or is it that really scary Linux experience that I should never come near?

(the device is Acer b1-711 and I don't care if it gets bricked along the way)
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
For some reason ADB doesn't work on my Nook. I have a modified settings application installed that has a USB debugging option in the development section. However, despite selecting this option and connecting the device to the computer, the adb devices command returns an empty list (works fine for my phone). The system has the appropriate driver installed and the device's memory is available after connecting it. What's the matter?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Do you have the ADB Konnect app (for WiFi) and does that work with your PC?
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
I can confirm that ADB Konnect works fine. On the other hand, the USB debugging does not
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, so ADB on your PC is working.

Are you using my modified Settings app?
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
Hard to tell. I installed it 6 years ago. Is there an easy way to check that?
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
I don't recall installing any custom settings app, but I have written down in my notes that I installed a settings modification called AndroNook.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Well then it's not mine because you would have needed the two library files for Tasker-made apps.

My version(s) is at https://xdaforums.com/t/app-nst-g-nook-settings.3924502/

Post 5 in that thread has the version for no-B&N devices (which yours might be since it runs FW 1.2.1).

I'm guessing you have the "Andro-Nook" version by Nookie. When I tried that years ago I couldn't get the USB debugging setting to work either.

Problem: my version requires the presence of the stock settings app. Do you still have it?
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
I don't think I have. If I understand correctly what AndroNook is, then it overwrote stock application
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
But I have a full backup of the stock device, so I can extract this app from there. Although I think it will conflict with AndroNook due to same names or something.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Well, you have to uninstall the AndroNook if you're going to use mine. I think Nookie even had a restore option in his OP?
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
Sorry, I don't get what OP is :(

Hi all

i have have read all the threads about the global rom with ace 2 pro but the price on AliExpress is very tempting. so asking the experts is worth the efforts to get it and flash the custom rom ?

you aren't chinese?and you want to buy ace2pro china only?
[OnePlus 11R (Ace 2)] Kanomie:
As i said the price is very tempting on AliExpress comparing with R12 on oneplus store here in Eroup. so i was asking as many people in this forum about the global rom is it worth the efforts to buy one and convert it.

[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
Is it possible to set password longer than 4 digits? Maybe some custom or third party solutions?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
You can try the app attached below. The lock screen "themes" included are pretty ghastly, but you can design your own (start with Eclair and work from there). You can use a lock PIN number of many digits. It takes over from the stock lock screen seamlessly.

Don't miss the "config" option at the app home screen (status bar "menu" button). There are a few missing texts in boxes, but nowhere it matters.

Downloads of additional material don't work, of course, as this is an archaeological find.
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
Sounds perfect but I'm unable to press any of the three buttons in this app home screen. Config works fine.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I think that's just an image? Use the power button to put the device to sleep (after establishing a PIN). Then press the "n" button.
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
No, the problem was that this program does not work without an SD card. It even warns about it, but I was looking the other way and missed the warning. I would prefer not to have to use the SD card, which I don't normally use in the Nook and I have other uses for it, but oh well. If there is no workaround, I will order a new one.

I also don't like that the app seems to require an extra drag-to-unlock step before showing the numeric keypad. Unfortunately, the themes are in binary form, so there's probably nothing you can do about it.

Oh, and replacing the original lock screen doesn't work which is quite hilarious to have two lock screens with separate passwords :D
[Nook Touch General] ingramsmith:
LockBot is not good. The screen with the code shows the contents of the device in the background and can be bypassed by pressing the home button or with task switcher. This path is a dead end.

My A8 seemed to get slower on One UI 6, I clear the cache in recovery to get the speed back.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] iamnotsunshine:
First off, let me introduce myself a little. I have some experience modding phones in the past, I've been out of the loop for about 6 years. I try to spend some time searching the forums for answers before I just post hey can someone point me to where I can get my factory image :)

Here is where I am a little confused/annoyed. I have managed to flash Lineageos20 onto the Tab A8, but when I try to sideload the Gapps, I get errors because it says I've ran out of memory for it. Why! Storage says I have 22g free. I tried to install a few of the GSI's listed in the complete list of working GSI's and they stop with errors saying no enough room. , So that leads me to think that I need to change the partitions on the internal memory. A few people have spoken about it, but not really laid out any steps to do it. Do you leave the boot and recovery partitions alone and format the rest of the memory and let Odin/Twrp create them?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You don't need to sideload gapps. Just download the bgN version of LOS. Why are you flashing LOS20 instead of 21? 21 is the one that will be getting updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] iamnotsunshine:
I just started fiddling around with the A8, I just got it a few days ago. Trying to get back into feeling comfortable with using all the tools again :) I tried installing Evolution X (I think it was that one) and got the error there was not room. I wanted to just try out a few of the GSI's to see if I liked the look/features. I wrote the post in part to explore the problem that other newer, not in the loop people.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
If it doesn't fit you are doing something wrong. The latest versions of Android use dynamic partitioning and when flashed with fastboot, will auto resize the partitions to fit what you are flashing. Just remember to flash bgN versions if you want gapps and bvN if you don't. And with this tablet you also want Arm64 versions. 32gbs is way more than "enough" total RAM. If you are getting a "doesn't fit" message, it is the size of the system partition that is to small. Not the total RAM size. When you flash the bvN version, it sizes it just for that to fit and doesn't leave room for gapps to be sideloaded later.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
samfw.com
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] iamnotsunshine:
I think it may have been because I didn't wipe/format correctly in Twerp now that I installed AOSP with no problems. I was joking about "Factory Image" and I prefer Frija for getting my firmware images. Samfw really seems to be a lot of spammy BS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
To me, Frija has become a PITA by demanding you enter the device's serial number.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] iamnotsunshine:
Easy enough to just change a few numbers and get by fine.

But back to real world problems. I tried installing DerpFest-arm64_bgN-14.0 and hit a wall. Just got home and I'm going to look into fastboot commands. Someone in the original thread with the list of GSI's working on the A8 said that if you ran into partition issues to use fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext . But before trying that I want to try messing around in TWRP formatting and wiping and see if that changes anything.

update..

Just not working for me. Fastboot tries to resize 'system' FAILED remote 'not enough space to resize partition' command failed.

Now, the only thing I am messing around with is just the system partition, I am not replacing or resizing the recovery partition, because that is where TWRP resides right? I saw a few threads talking about flashing the recovery partition and then the system, but I thought that was for a messed up system, or the first time after unlocking the bootloader... ? Humm..

You can request new device forums in the following thread - ***New Device Forum Requests***.

Although, just because you make a request there it doesn't mean that a forum will be created. The admins alone have their list of criteria to add new forums but if you are going to make a request then it would have a better chance if there is already some development or discussion threads for the device on XDA already and then link them with your request. This will show that there is active interest in the device and give it a better chance of being created 👍
