The files method still works, google recently updated the app via play store to patch it. So u have to use version 6.1 of the files app to access and modify android/data.

I can also confirm this works on the may security patch (CXD3)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] assassin193:
Is the one you mention Google files? I installed it, but not work, and different from yours.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
No, it's this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marc.files version 6.3

It's working for me on S23U One UI 6.0 BWJM October 2023
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] assassin193:
It not ask for any permission ......
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
Because this "app" is only a shortcut to the hidden android system file picker/manager, which can access all these restricted directories.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] assassin193:
I can see files as same as your screenshot, but cant do anything (copy, delete, rewrite, ....). I don't know if i miss something.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hendrix7:
I absolutely can't stand Google's fearmongering.

This is yet another benefit of MicroSD: control over your data. You can rip the memory card out of your phone and insert it into your personal computer which runs a non-Google operating system that gives you access to all files on it.

Indeed, no root = no ownership. I learnt it the hard way.

I just checked and I am able to copy/move files out of /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.telegram.messenger.web but I cannot move/copy files from my Downloads to this folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] squishe:
This is the version you want: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/marc-apps-software/files-20/files-20-6-1-release/

I can still copy and edit files in android/data on this version, let me know if this one works.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] squishe:
Google have become are extremely jarring as of recently, we need to fork the android project and get it out of their hands or they'll absolutely ruin it. Google can't be trusted.

Unfortunately most modern phones don't come with removable SD cards anymore, so its usually a choice of modern specs and no ext storage or an outdated phone with an SD card.

1st thing I do when I get a new phone is to root and degoogle. Unfortunately Samsung are now following in googles footsteps and are trying to lock down the bootloaders, it took me 3 weeks of emailing them to finally unlock the bootloader on my S23 Ultra. I suspect I'll be moving to a different brand for my next phone.

Its a shame because this is honestly one of the best phones I've ever owned.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
I used this exact version from apkmirror and I'm still not able to move/copy files from my downloads folder into android/data. See screenshots

It's fine though. I can still see files inside android/data and can move/copy them out of there and delete them.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] squishe:
I'm not sure if you're able to downgrade system apps without root but you could give this one a go: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/files-6/files-6-14-11179060-release/

This is the app that the other one launches (like a shortcut), google recently updated it to block android\data and made it so you can't select the downloads folder when picking folders in apps.

If this one doesn't work you could try an even older version like the one in android 12.

I use an LSposed module for the android package installer which let's me install older versions over other apps but I'm sure you can downgrade system apps via ADB or shizuku.

ADB Commands to downgrade:

adb push <location of APK file on PC> /data/local/tmp/

Eg:
adb push C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/files.apk /data/local/tmp/
adb shell pm install -r -d /data/local/tmp/files.apk

You could also just download the apk directly to your phone and run this command:

adb shell pm install -r -d /storage/emulated/0/Download/files.apk

Older version (linked above):

Newer version after googles stupid changes:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andorra:
Good day everyone

i'm using my X1 since about 2 weeks.

I recently did notice that after waking my phone up the "scrolling down action" is performed...so the optical joystick thinks i'm moving downwards but in fact i'm not even touching it...it not only happens after waking it up, but also when i want to scroll upwards it happens often that it's sliding downwards again when i release the touchy surface...

cleaning of the touchy surface didn't help...aswell as adjusting the sensitivity of the optical joystick...

does anyone else have that problem...or anyone out there having an idea how to fix?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
mine dont have that problem at all and if hardreset dont change it i would

write it off as a hardware malfunction
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidel.pico:
Some solution?

The does same thing happen to me?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outkast123:
I had this problem before too. Somehow, while i was at school, i must have shaken it a lot or something, because i had P.E. that day. When i got home after i had p.e., the joystick scrolling problem stopped. I had the X1 in my pocket the whole day, so i guess when i was running in P.E., something must have shaken and the problem is now fixed.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
This has happened to me only once, while browsing. It fixed itself after a soft reset. Very weird.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grantscorp:
Solution!!!

Mine had a very similar problem. It was making calls alone once something just touched the joystick's surface. I took it to a repairing center (with a little hope once i read above comments). However they repair it, well, at least the joystick is working on its scroll funtion but when I press it nothing happends. They told me that it was repaired by just cleaningl, with paint thinner and a gum eraser, the part that is marked inside of the red circle in the image below.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matjan:
Mine's got that problem too.. It was so annoying that I disabled the optical joystick thingy... Don't need it anyway:D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matejdro:
Im glad i dont use that optical thingy. Its annoying when you want to press center button on D-pad but then accidentally scrolls up or down.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adkz:
Sorry for poping in this post again after er.. i think this is like a year old post. I just had this problem last month.. or maybe months. I been ignoring it for some time now but well it is getting annoying (It always make the speaker go louder for some odd reason by scrolling up or while searching for a contact it scrolls up). I have never used the d-pad and thought of disabling it but not sure how too.

No more warranty as I bought it for some time already (They said so), I send it back to the shop and they wanted to charge me MYR200 to change the ribbon. After thinking a while that d-pad only cost like $7.99USD which is MYR25.10 from cnn.cn website.

Do they mean the slider flex cable which cost MYR147.619 (After converted)?

Does that has any relation with my D-pad getting stuck at the up button?

Thank you very very much indeed.

I followed the instruction and solved the problem 🤪

Below are the steps I used, I included a link for the files also.

Download the older versions of the wearables app and the gear S plugin app (I got the apps from apkpure.net)

put your phone in airplane mode and enable bluetooth

manually set the date on your phone to December 3 2023

install the apps on your phone, wearable 1st plugin app 2nd

power on your watch and connect your phone to the watch via bluetooth

the wear app should open and follow the setup instructions from there

after or near the end of setup you may need to connect your phone back to wifi or connect to restore your backup for the watch. goodluck!

Below is a link to download the files.

Hi

I transformed my Chinese oneplus version into cph2449 version. And now NFC works fine in my phone for Google Pay, but for any other supported device I have such as the Sony wf-1000xm3 and a card in Hong Kong called octopus the NFC function just does not work. Is there any difference of hardware nfc difference from Chinese version to the cph2449 version.

Sorry for the silly question but I'm very new to all this.
[OnePlus 11] wfred:
YouTube "nearby share" uses NFC. Find someone whose NFC fully works and see if your phone can send & receive the nearby share.

Also, if you know anyone with an NFC enabled watch find out if your phone NFC can “see” the watch

I'm trying to install Armbian on my TV Box (RK 3228) and I simply cannot boot it from the SD card. Trying to use the reset button results in no difference, using a terminal emulator or ADB to "reboot update" makes the device boot on a blue screen and get stuck, and trying to "reboot recovery" makes it get stuck on a black screen trying to boot. I just spent 3 and a half hours trying to make it work, and now that post is my last hope.

Some applications bundlt their own custom camera implementation and don't allow user to take picture from system camera or gallery , is there any way where I can force application to use system camera rather than their own camera implementation , if anyone have suggestions please let me know .
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Without the source code, you won't compile the way you want it to work.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
If such an app allows you to save or share captured images, you can potentially use the system camera app indirectly. Here's the idea:

Open the system camera app and capture the image.

Save the image to your device storage.

Within the app with the custom camera, use the sharing function and choose the image you captured from the system camera app.

While not ideal, this allows you to use the system camera for capturing the image and potentially integrate it within the app.

What you can mine​

- Pepecoin or anything that uses scrypt

- LTC

Running on Android or natively on Linux​

1. Install: {Mod edit: Link removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

2. Choose your distro and boot it (recommended debian)

3. Execute commands:

What is BlazeOS?

Blaze is unique from other android 12 ROMs - Remember how Google changed the whole way the QuickSettings panel looked?

[Xiaomi 14] allonssvp:
Have anyone had an issue where notifications disappear after around 12 hours? I'm assuming that Hyperos is trying to put it into the "Earlier notifications" like on some other phones, but perhaps due to it being a Xiaomi 14 global rom, the features are not enabled correctly (e.g I do not have the "Earlier Notifications" tab at all) and thus it's causing the notifications to disappear completely?

Has anyone encountered the same and found a fix?

Thanks.

Is it possible to remove some apps from a fastboot stock image, then flash device. Re lock bootloader?
[Google Pixel 8] Wayne Nathaniel:
As far as i am aware that A Locked bootloader can detect modifications on a image since a locked bootloader checks signatures before booting, if the bootloader detects the signature is modified then the Phone will not boot. I think it will be better to keep your bootloader unlocked, don't worry a Unlocked bootloader will not cause any side effects on your phone. Except a Locked bootloader will check signatures during the boot up process but overall your phone will still function normally as it should.

Remember that Both Unlocking Bootloader and Locking Bootloader will wipe your data so you should backup first before doing anything.

I don't think that I would have tried any repartitioning on a device without making a full raw backup first.

Did you even try using EDL first to get the HWID and hash?

Merging two partitions renumbers all the partitions after that.

All the non-by-name references get screwed up.

fastboot can't flash entire mmcblk0, can it?

I mean it downloads the partition first.
[General Questions and Answers] Ereniemis:
Since fastboot flashes blocks by name and not by block ID and this device doesn't support:

fastboot reboot recovery

fastboot reboot-recovery

fastboot boot twrp

and has aboot partition (fastboot) and recovery partition separate, the device needs to go through boot first to get to recovery.

And since the boot doesn't go through, because it sees bad partitioning, I believe I have a proper brick

I don't think you'll be finding any loaders for that.

If you have a small file like sbl/xbl/abl could you post it or PM it so that I can look at the cert?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Thanks! I was just double checking if the certs were consistent with what Sahara reported. They are.

There's a 0.01% chance that this does not have Secure Boot enabled.

Yeah, I see that fastboot says that "secure" is "yes".

You can try loading sbl1.img with Sahara.

It's not going to work until the end because the boot source gets confused.

But it should load 100% then say no Firehose.

I also attached a patched and rehashed sbl1mod.img

This will not load 100% if Secure Boot is enabled.
