[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Wayne Nathaniel:
As far as i am aware of the LG's Anti rollback. Yes i know if it says 0 that means i can downgrade but if it says 1 or anything else then i cannot downgrade, but i am using LG V20 F800L with Android 9, when i looked on my Anti Rollback version it says APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 :0, TZ : 0, RPM : 0. i am afraid of bricking my phone so i need to think wisely before i flash the Android 7 KDZ file on my LG V20.

Does this mean my LG V20 F800L is stuck on Android 9 forever ? I want to downgrade to Android 7 because it lags on Android 9 and i need to root the phone. Anyways thanks.

There is my screenshot of my ARB version
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Wayne Nathaniel:
Edit : I successfully Downgraded to Android 8.0 already. I realized that i should look after the :N

If it says APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 :0, TZ : 0, RPM : 0 that means you are good but if it says APPSBL(LK) : 1, SBL1 :1, TZ : 1, RPM : 1 or anything you should worry about it.

I am not sure if i was able to get Nougat but i guess Oreo is the lowest version i can go for now. In fact it appears as APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 :0, TZ : 0, RPM : 0 on Android Oreo so yeah.

As far i wasn't really experiencing much issues on Oreo, i guess yeah. Pie drains my battery quicker than Oreo. So never going back to Pie i guess.

As far i still can recall The LS997 and H918 variants are the ones with ARB 1 or anything.

So yeah if you use F800L or US996 or anything other than LS997 and H918 you should be fine. But it is still important to check your ARB version because chances are there are cases it says ARB 1.

You can check it by dialing *#546368#*800# (Replace 800 with your correct model number. If you use US996 then dial *#546368#*996#).

Then go to SVC Menu

Then Version info. Once you are there scroll down and you'll find Anti-rollback version. It's normal that it's on a red color, but as long it says 0's then you are good. If there is 1 or any number then Your stuck with it.

Don't be confused with the SBL1 part. SBL1 : 0 means your fine but if it says SBL1:1 or SBL1 : 2 then you know it.

If you are on a Android 7.0 and below you just see 0 or 1 or any number without the complex confusing notations.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Wayne Nathaniel:
Edit 2 : I now successfully downgraded to Android 7.0 from a week ago. So Actually APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 :0, TZ : 0, RPM : 0 is equivalent to ARB 0 In Android 7 Since it still says APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 :0, TZ : 0, RPM : 0 on Android 8. So Yeah But if it says APPSBL(LK) : 1, SBL1 :1, TZ : 1, RPM : 1 then That's ARB 1

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] JOSHSKORN:
There's one feature (aside from no MicroSD Slot but that's obvious) that I'm really missing from my Galaxy Note 9, and that's a Notifications indicator. My old phone would flash a specific color, depending on what notification hadn't been read. With the S24 Ultra, it flashes for a second or two, then goes away.

Is there any way to have a light indicator on the Galaxy S24 Ultra without having to always unlock your phone and look at your notifications bar? How?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gareee:
Isn't that what edge lighting is for?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
You need to go to the Google Play Store and search for aodNotify, an app for Samsung phones that provides the notification LED functionality that used to be a common feature on older phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Shahrokh.KING:
I do miss led notification on top from my beloved note 4, is the app you mentioned use a lot of battery when you don't check your phone for like an hour and it is blinking like every 5 seconds?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] larryk:
You can control the length of time it flashes...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
There are quite a few options available in the app to modify where and how it blinks. You can set it to blink as a dot, around the camera lens on the screen or even around the fingerprint sensor on the screen. I find that it doesn’t use as much battery capacity as I had expected it to. I have it configured to only operate during the night while I am in bed. If I wake up, all I need to do is glance at the phone in the dark to know if there’s anything I need to look at. In addition, the color of the blinking light gives me some idea what app created the notification. It’s great!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] JOSHSKORN:
This turns on for a second, then goes away as a notification comes in. I'm talking about an indicator which stays lit until you physically unlock the phone and swipe the notification away.

I've done that but it's not working for me. Not all of the bubbles in the app turn Blue. The Always on Display option is staying Red-X'd. If you can tell me how to fix this, then great. Otherwise, it would appear as if I've done everything correct. I've even removed the app, the cache and files, then re-installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
In Settings >Lock screen and AOD, Always On Display must be turned on and when to show must be set to Always. In the aodNotify app, Notifications and Notification light both must be turned on. Within the app’s Notification settings, you can select which apps will produce notifications in the app, which notifications to ignore and when to consider notifications as seen. Within the app’s Notification light settings, you can configure how and where on the screen you want the app to provide its blinking light. There are quite a few options here to choose from including how long you would like any notifications displayed. Under the Colors>General option you can select Auto color, which will then produce its notifications based on the color of the app’s icon which produced the notification. Under the General settings, I selected Don’t show. In addition, I have configured Custom night time to only produce the on screen notifications while I am in bed at night. I have no need for aodNotify to provide any notifications during the day. Within the General settings there is an option for AOD manager, which can provide additional functionality, which I don’t use. The AOD Manager is incompatible with Android 14, but you shouldn’t need it either if you plan to use aodNotify as I do.

I hope these instructions are helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] JOSHSKORN:
I'll come back to the rest of your reply later on. This is what I followed first, then the Always on Display option changed to Blue. So, now everything is blue. Let me see what this even does at this stage, first, or maybe I'll return to the YouTube video I'd found to install this, to see what was said, following setup, since I ignored it because I wasn't getting past a point. Thanks.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] abbey33:
I just bought a used Asus Zenfone 8, I did a hard reset. After the phone boots, the screen cannot be touched and there is a small yellow battery logo and the charging process cannot run. Battery status is always 0%. I would be very happy if someone would be kind enough to provide a solution to what I should do because the service center is far from where I live. I bought this cellphone with my savings for 3 months, and getting this problem makes me very sad
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Ultramanoid:
A few things you could check ...

I assume you've tried to leave it completely turned off while charging, for a few hours, or overnight ? If not, do try that. The battery may be in a bad condition and not be able to charge quickly or fully.

Have you checked with a different charger or USB cable ? That can also be an issue, some cables don't work well, or will work with a device but not with a different one.

Finally, is the USB port in the phone in good condition ? They tend to fail after a while.

Hopefully any of these suggestions help.
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
Long time user of the AAWireless adapter from when it was still crowd funded. My original AAWireless adapter gave up the ghost recently. I went to the website to order a replacement. Much to my surprise they don't even offer them for sale to Canada.

I took a look on Amazon looking for an alternative and came across this adapter for $59 CDN with a $20 off offer. I couldn't pass it up for that price.

No app required and pairs instantly to the vehicle. I've used it for the last several days and to be honest it is a much more user friendly proposition for less than 1/2 the cost of the original.

[Android Auto General] omek07:
I think you are missing the point of the AAWIRELESS. With the AAw you can change the DPI and also you can see some applications like Fermata Auto in the AA which you will not be able to see them with the adapter that you got. I am in Canada too. I had a AA adapter similar with yours which I bought it around 30 dollars . I wad searching for the AAW but I could not find it anywhere and one day someone was selling it in the FB and I grabbed . I am so happy that I bought it !!!
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
Actually I'm not missing anything. I just need a wireless AA connection. Nothing more, nothing less.

Stock DPI settings work fine with SYNC 3.4 and I have no need for Fermata. Media Monkey and AA compatible apps more than meet my needs.

This one just plain works without the complexity and bugginess of AAWireless.

YMMV.
[Android Auto General] omek07:
Good point . Different perspective. I am just saying that this 2 benefits that you can have with the AAW is the key difference between the AAW and any other adapter.

I also have sync 3.4 and i dont have any problem so far . What issues did you have ?
[Android Auto General] hand-filer:
The only issue I had with AAWireless is that the unit failed. It no longer powers up. It's jut unfortunate that AAWireless chose to ignore the Canadian market after many Canadians helped crowd fund them. Hence my choice to pursue an alternative.
[Android Auto General] omek07:
Totally agree , I don't understand why they are not selling in Canada . Seems weird?

After tinkering around with an existing TouchHD skin I found for MyMobiler, I created a simple, but attractive skin for our Touch Pros and Diamonds. Looks just like it! Enjoy and feel free to tweak and make it your own.

Note: Due to the dimensions of our devices and screens, this skin is quite tall. Hope you have a big monitor if you want to see it in full resolution. Otherwise adjust the "zoom" and it's more manageable.

I have the file system and vendor and firmware. The device does have a lineage os rom but it doesn't support camera, imei, fingerprint and sensors. The oem rom comes with kernel version 3.18.24. I need to also port it so I can use android 12 on the device. The device is plenty powerful. But I want to port a rom. I asked the devloper of the rom to help me but he was busy. Please someone help me and give me a porting guide. I am fine with any rom with android 11 and above.

The device and kernel tree is already provided. The vendor tree is not.

I have a custom ROM for this phone but the camera, imei, fingerprint and sensors aren't working. The ROM has the vendor.IMG and boot.IMG and the device and kernel tree. The Dev of the ROM said that he could help me enable these. I just need a GSI ROM with the ARM64 architecture and aonly boot partition. And a generic help guide to implement these features as he said that he has implemented the drive. Albeit without the oppo customizations.

If you know how to do it. Just send me a little guide. Also if possible, a way to make a newer boot.IMG kernel. The stock comes with Linux 3.18.24 and the custom ROM comes with 3.18.14.

this is the gsi

try with this

i am not a dev though so i cant help u with porting treble

do u have the vendor of the device

then u can use device partitioner zip to partition it and then flash the vendor

u can find the zip on xda

do it at your own risk though

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaroloBC:
android 12 and newer even if u implement treble support isn't great idea, even with faster CPUs than snapdragon 435 it will be laggy

and first you need to upstream ur kernel, 3.18 is too old
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user0ze:
Is this some sort of a joke? Not even a single one of these are for a only partition roms. All of these are ab roms. I need android 12 and above but I absolutely must have a only patition scheme. Otherwise these roms will not work. And thanks for the treble guide.

Edit: this guide is about repartitioning. Not porting treble.

I need a kernel porting guide. Please help me if you can or just send a guide.

I would not add any gapps and just slightly modify the kernel and other stuff to set a curve for performance to powersave.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spnk_251209:
the one with non-sar is aonly. aonly gsis are hard to find

treble itself is based on partitions. it enables the hardware features and the core os to be on different partitions so that oems can roll out faster updates. the os and kernel parts are generic leading to gsis and gkis. for installing gsis you need to have the partitions

[Google Pixel 7] JustLixian:
ok he clarified that its a "google" lock. cant acess google app. if do, like using play store, the phone will reset in 24 hours. is it unlockeable?
[Google Pixel 7] swangjang:
I've never heard of a "google lock" but it's likely a stolen phone they're trying to pawn on marketplace.

MDM is controlled by the company IT admin and the "reset every 24 hours" is one MDM policy to prevent unauthorized use in the event it's lost or stolen. MDM cannot be bypassed and can only be removed by the company IT admin.

Most likely a stolen device. Don't risk it.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Pattee88:
Hi all,

I have been trying everything to get this device into recovery mode for a factory reset and it simply won't happen.

It's unrooted and has only had Samsung software updates so far.

It was protected with a pin code which has been forgotten since I upgraded to a pixel 6 pro but now need my old A51 to run a square POS system for my scout group.

I've tried every combination of pin I can thing I would have put on it (2+ years ago) and it's now at over a day worth of wait time for the next attempt. Pretty sure guessing it now is a non-viable option.

I'm hoping I can factory reset it and make it usable again.

I've force shut down using all 3 buttons with the charger connected.

I've tried booting into recovery mode using power+ volume up with both cable connected and disconnected with no success.

I can boot it into safe mode but this doesn't help as it's still locked with the pin.

I tried letting it drain the battery and hold power + volume up when plugging the power in and this didn't boot into recovery either.

Is there another solution for me? Even if I need to pay a few $$ to unlock it.

I have access to both Mac and PC so a software option would also be a viable plan.

I just want to get this device working again and it's doing my head in.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Pattee88:
This has been resolved!

After many attempts using odin and droidkit, one thing stood out in the droidkit instructions in a single step that differed from all other instructions I've read in the past week about booting the A515F into recovery mode.

Almost every instruction says to use volume up + power to boot then release power whilst continuing to hold volume up to enter recovery mode.

For an A515F on android 13, this doesn't work!

The method that actually does work is

Boot phone using volume up + power

Once first logo appears, release ALL buttons and wait for recovery menu.

Hopefully this helps others who have had issues getting into recovery mode!

Inner Screen - sometimes. And still not sure I have the method down. Do you always have to "press" that white bar (no home, back on my setup) at the bottom to invoke "circle to search "cts""?

It is not just active and you circle something on the screen. Press bar and then do it???

And then it seems it brings up what I'd call the LENS screen rectangle.

Again, thanks for pointing me in some direction. Spin the roulette wheel and pray - Vegas on the fold.
