hello boys,

so, im runnig a POCO F3 with ArrowOS, Android 13 but i guess my issues are more general Android issues.

im using the "Hey Google" voice command pretty often but nowadays the assistant´s response is silent like

Hey Google >> phone is reacting but silent (the *PLING* sound is missing) >> i speak the command >> phone responds loudly and executes the command.

i havent found an option to change that but it didnt act that way in the past.

2nd thing is, once i plug in headphones my phone doesnt play audio anymore. at first the videos were stuttering (i fixed that with another player) but still there is no audio output.

i thought the file was bugged but it also happens with the YouTube app for example. im using MX Player now. i havent been able to test with BT headphones but im using an usb-C to headphone jack adapter - maybe its broken? any solution to that?

thx in advance
[General Topics] MetaP:
It's completely okay to seek help for tech issues, no matter how random they might seem! :) For the silent response from Google Assistant, it's possible that an update might have changed the feedback sounds settings. Dive into the Google Assistant settings to see if there's an option to adjust this. Regarding the headphone audio problem, it might indeed be an issue with the USB-C to headphone jack adapter. Testing with a different adapter or Bluetooth headphones could help isolate the problem. If the issue persists across different audio output methods, it might be related to the software, particularly with how ArrowOS on Android 13 handles audio output through different channels.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] germstorm5:
I am currently working to change my pixel 5 back to stock firmware but when it got to the stage of "Updating Super Partition. Rebooting Device into Userspace Fastboot" it went to the fastbootd screen making the process stop. No matter how fast I was rebooting to bootloader it would stop the process. Is there a way to have it skip the step of going into the fastbootd screen or something that would make it work? Currently the device is soft-bricked so I cannot access the OS. Another thing is that adb does not recognize the device but Fastboot does fine (First tried flashing via Fastboot it didn't work so I tried using the android flash tool, also didn't work.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] MetaP:
To resolve the issue of your Pixel 5 getting stuck at the fastbootd screen during firmware restoration, ensure you're following the correct steps for flashing stock firmware using fastboot commands. One workaround might involve manually booting back into bootloader mode from the fastbootd screen using the volume and power buttons, then continuing with the flash process. If adb isn't recognizing the device but fastboot is, this suggests the device is correctly entering fastboot mode, which is required for flashing firmware. Ensure you have the latest drivers and fastboot version installed on your computer.

To fix your Pixel 5 and revert it to stock firmware, follow these general steps, but please consult XDA Developers for detailed instructions tailored to your device:

1. Download the correct firmware for your Pixel 5 from the official Google website.

2. Ensure your PC has the latest ADB and Fastboot tools installed.

3. Boot your device into bootloader mode using the key combination (usually Power + Volume Down) or the `adb reboot bootloader` command if the device is operational.

4. Connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.

5. Open a command prompt or terminal window in the directory where you have stored the firmware files.

6. Flash the firmware by executing the flash-all script (for Windows, `flash-all.bat`; for Linux/Mac, `flash-all.sh`). Make sure to extract the firmware files if they are in a zip archive.

7. If the process stops at fastbootd, manually select the 'Reboot to bootloader option using the volume keys and the power button on your device to continue the flashing process.

8. Wait for the process to complete without interrupting it.

If adb doesn't recognize your device, ensure you have the correct drivers installed.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] germstorm5:
I just can't get it back to the bootloader in time because it stops the process almost instantly after entering the fastbootd menu, is there a certain tool that can help with this or different commands?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] MetaP:
For the issue of not being able to return to the bootloader from the fastbootd menu quickly enough on your Pixel 5, using the Android Flash Tool might be a specialized tool that can help. It's a web-based tool provided by Google that automates the flashing process for supported Pixel devices, potentially circumventing the fast timing issue you're facing by managing the transitions between device states more seamlessly. Always ensure your device is supported by the tool for the specific operation you intend to perform.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] itsurgrandma:
So I just had this same problem with a Pixel 5 that even with the Android Flash Tool it fails.

Here's the fix.

You need to do the flash-all in fastboot. It will eventually hang and want to reboot your phone

as this is because of A/B slots and therefore it must be in userspace (fastbootd) to finish flash.

You have to press volume down and power until it reboots manually (you might have to do this several times.) Unplug your phone and when it gets to the bootloader you will want to select recovery.

Now the next screen should be the warning about unlocked bootloader. Hit the power button once then hit it again and hold down the power button and volume up and as soon as the screen lights up (happens really fast) let go of the volume up quickly and press it again and then let go while still holding power button. If done right you will get the green robot with No Command and once at that screen then just hold power and hit volume up once and you will be in recovery. From there you choose reboot to fastbootd and it will take you to Fastbootd, plug your phone back in. And fastboot will recognize and resume to finish flash.

Now if you can't get the green robot I would get the boot.img out of the build you are using and flash that to both slots and just manually do the flashing one by one without flash-all.

Hope it helps!

Win 7. No chance of updating windows.

Need guidance for changing to ESR manually.

I am using the last stable that was released. I use arkenfox userjs too.

Already have setup and ESR compatible userjs. AFAIK, I cant just copy/paste profiles. Am I wrong?

Do I just need to backup bookmarks and keys(.db)? Do a fresh/clean install after that?

Thank You.

[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] danlp6yt:
So I just unlocked the bootloader flashed lineageos 17.1 unofficial on it and wasn't carefull enough meaning that my phone ran out of power after LOS booted and installed. So I plugged it in to charge which worked but my phones screen isn't posting. So the phone is turned off and I can't turn it on. (Fastboot or recovery don't work). The only thing that does is an LED indacator that the phone is actually charging:

Its worth noting that my power button is broken

-> USB + VOL UP (pressed before USB inserted) : LED ON

-> USB + VOL UP (Pressed after USB inserted) : LED OFF

-> USB + VOL DOWN (pressed before USB inserted) : LED ON

-> USB + VOL DOWN (Pressed after USB inserted) : LED OFF

this is all info I can extract. And I still have stock recovery and working LOS (if it would turn on the phone)

[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] bloomfielderic:
So I tried to boot GSIs (currently rocking DerpFest) but I see that the outer screen remains on when the phone's unfolded and there's seemingly no way to control it (maybe shell works? IDK)

Wondering if there's a way to shut it off.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] MetaP:
To turn off the outer screen when unfolded on a device like the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 running a GSI ROM like DerpFest, you might need to look into specific settings within the ROM itself or explore developer options that could offer a solution. If there's no direct setting available, executing commands via ADB shell could be an alternative. However, the exact command or method could vary based on the ROM and device specifics. For detailed guidance, checking in with the developer community forums or the ROM's official support channels may provide a solution tailored to your needs.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] OrionBG:
If you boot your phone with the screen open, you might get the outer screen stuck to the Boot logo but if you boot in folded mode and unfold after the phone has fully booted, then it is OK (at least on the older GSI roms that use TD Droid sources r14 and older) All GSI ROMs that are based on TD R17 and later has a bug that completely messes up the screen switching when folding and unfolding. I have raised it as an issue in TD's github but nobody seems to be addressing it at all...
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] domineus:
I don't think they will because the developers don't have foldable devices. It's a shame and I wish I knew how to port for Android

[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] Greight:

[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] mrgbuzz:
Is HyperOs going to be highly restrictive ?
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] AinzTheSupremeOne:
If you really wanna unlock your bootloader and install custom ROM , you better do it now before updating to HyperOS. Unlocking will be a pain after HyperOS update.

As for custom ROM recommendation, Crdroid and Evolution X are pretty good. Both are "official" meaning, you'll have monthly security updates regularly.

There are lesser known ones like Superior, Rising, Project Matrix (some are in only A13). They all come with customisations and their unique look and feel.

I personally use Evolution X, it's Pixel based and you'll get a lot of Pixel exclusive features. Battery drain is a little higher than Crdroid in my opinion.
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] Sectorian:
Poco X5 Pro have a super worse ROM developers. We can see late updates , bugs I know that Xiaomi don't give us the code but that slows updates and bugs just come to me to much .

No one create ROM with final updates on Android 13 . There is super good android 13 Roms that will work super dine on X5 Pro.Some users prefer the old android until fix are coming .

Only 5 working roms with slow updates.

Xiaomi strategy to get users on Hyper OS is working at 100%.
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] crdpa:
CRDroid will no longer be updated. This is the downside of custom Roms. These are mostly done by teens who buy phones every year because they like shiny new things.

Your best bet is using xiaomi.eu
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] Dadi-med:
EVOLUTION X

Evolution X #KeepEvolving

#KeepEvolving!

evolution-x.org

Security updates granted every month(you don't need a good looking rom that exposes your phone to hackers for lack of security update)

A lot of customisations and all is working (fast charging,Dolby Atmos, NFC,....)

Hi everyone,I'm currently using an S20 FE and looking for a way to get the Gemini app working with UK Google services. I've noticed that the app offers some great features that would be beneficial for my usage, but it seems to be limited by region. Has anyone here successfully ported or adapted the Gemini app for use in the UK, or is there a mod available that bypasses these regional restrictions?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
As of today, February 10, 2024, the "Gemini" app itself, which offers an enhanced Google Assistant experience and overlay, is currently not officially available in the UK Play Store. Means: there is currently no official way to use the full Gemini app and its features with UK Google services on Android.
[General Questions and Answers] MetaP:
Yes but it is possible to sideload it yet when trying to use it you get a "Gemini isn't available" error. I was just wondering if there was any way to remove the country restrictions. Another weird thing is that even when using a VPN same error occurs.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Be aware that sideloading any app not officially available on the Play Store carries risks and potentially violates Google's terms of service.

Using a VPN to bypass Google Gemini location detection might allow you to access it. However, Google has measures to detect and block VPN usage for this purpose: they surely are no more stupid than the normal Android user. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] makiwooki:
Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if it's possible to deactivate photo processing because I've noticed that some photos look better before processing than after. It's especially noticeable when you shoot at 50 or 200mpx, the time it takes for the phone to apply the processing.

I tested with the photo app and the RAW+ app, but the processing is applied in the same way.

I took two screen shots showing before and after processing.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MetaP:
To disable photo processing on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, especially for high-resolution shots, you might not find a direct setting due to the integrated processing algorithms. Shooting in Pro Mode and saving photos in RAW format is usually recommended for minimal processing, allowing for manual post-editing. However, if both the default photo app and RAW+ app apply similar processing, exploring third-party camera apps that offer more control over post-shot processing might be beneficial. Always ensure your device's software is up-to-date for optimal performance and check Samsung's official support for any device-specific advice.

Please do share the screenshots of your mobile and also do give us the specific reasons for device not working.

A comment on a random ticket has:

./edl --debugmode --memory=UFS w recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-pepito-nofirmwaremount.img

Just guessing, but as long as the memory is UFS on OP6 and you replace the TWRP name with one for OP6, that would flash it. Might have to change recovery to boot.
