Hi I'm a noob and y'all probably hate me for that but hey ,I don't care anyway. Now let me tell you the problem. I recently bought a new Redmi 13 pro 5g and I would like to customize it using Microsoft launcher. It went great except when I tried to unlock my phone. Whenever I tried to unlock my phone, my lock screen wall paper would freeze for about .5 sec before showing me my homescreen which as a tech nerd myself is quite annoying. Please help. Thanks for the respond.

$400? That's nice since that is less than it costs. (399 + 25 + tax + shipping) My sense though is that you may be willing to pay the whole "real" cost... ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jesus.astilleros@hotmail.:
Hello, I just bought a Samsung S21 Ultra phone (from Amazon refurbished) and apparently it arrived bricked. At first I tried to turn it on and it showed no signs of life and I thought it was because it was discharged, so I left it charging for about half an hour and it still didn't turn on. Then I thought it was because the generic charger it came with didn't work but I already tried that same charger with another Android phone I have and it charges normally. I would really like to know if there is a way to unbrick it or if I should just resign myself and file a claim and ask for my refund. ☹☹☹

The reason I don't want to return it is because I'm from Mexico and the shipping took several days and I don't want to go through the tedious return process, but if there is no way to unbrick it then I will return it.

(note: In case it could be unbricked, I have been looking at tutorials but I don't know which firmware version I could download. I need help if it is possible to unbrick it) Thanks!

Hi,

I got this old Android box that my kid wants to use so that he could use the Youtube app on an plain LCD TV.

The box won't go into recovery mode - I keep pressing the reset button while plugging in the power, so the logo comes on, after a few seconds at the bottom right corner is says "rebooting" , it reboots and goes into a loop where I see the logo again and it reboots again and again.

I also can't add a Google account. I tried every possible solution I came across, like removing the data and cache from the Google Play app etc.. Nothing works. I can't add an existing account or create a new account.

Is there any other way I can get this box back into factory mode?

I should say that the the apps I once installed like chrome browser are working. Ethernet is working too.

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Install Terminal app and execeute reboot recovery command, root is requiered.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JosephJ1:
Probably not. I used this box all these years ago mainly to play files on a non-smart TV.

Can you point me towards a good tutorial so I could root it (I rooted an iPad once, so I will probably be able to handle it)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Find out with Root Checker app.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JosephJ1:
Hi again!

I used the KingRoot app to root the device. Was actually very easy.

Then I installed a terminal and via su i did 'reboot recovery'. I ended up just where I was before... Same as pressing the reset button.

Any other way to completely reset the device to factory defaults?

Btw, now that it's rooted, is it possible to upgrade it to an Android version above 4.x?
[OnePlus Open] JazonX:
Can someone confirm whether this is possible with root on the OnePlus Open ?

Not by using Skyvalex or BCR; the Native option which is built-to the phone.

A guide or a link to that would be great as well.

Thanks!

I think native depends on location, in some countries recording is allowed, in others it isn't. However, it is tweakable ;)

It cannot boot into neither of these. Also i don't have a USB Jig. 😕

Hi guys.

So i running my phone on 14.0.11.0 TKDEUXM with unlocked bootloader and root.

Using latest Magisk 27.0 and latest Universal SafetyNet Fix v.2.4.0-MOD, but Google Play still tells me that my unit is not certified.

I need this since my banking app wont work with unlocked bootloader.

I've tried different Safety Net modules but non of them work.

YASNAC tells me

Basic integrity: Pass

CTS profile match: Pass

Evaluation type: Basic

SafetyNet 'attest" says

SafetyNet request: Success

Response signature validation: Error

I tried different guides with all the app cleaned from data. I tried to hide Magisk. Both enforce and not.

Is there something i missed?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
Is zygisk enabled?

For banking apps use shamiko and all Google+ banking apps to add to the denylist.

Also note that Google changes security settings often and that you have to wait for the Magisk modules to be updated.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] L_e_x_t_e_r:
DONT`T use this when you use banking apps!!! There are so many trojans out there, that one day you will loose all your money and/or privacy! You should lock your bootloader and delete Magsik on your phone, maybe it is too late!

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] iTudorS:
Hi guys

i've been some years out of context on the android stuff, had an iPhone from work untill now that finally changed and have a pixel 7 pro and pixel 8 pro.

i've been using my p8p on stock, just with Nova launcher, pixel xpert lsposed etc and its pretty good.

just wondering if any custom rom has any benefits over stock, like battery wise, performance, features etc and if so, which one would you recomend?

also, on custom roms can you pass device integrity? I use the phone to pay almost daily, so that would be pretty important for me.

thanks guys, glad I can finally be back to android, hate iOS.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CityKev:
Big issues with passing device integrity currently and Google are ramping up the pressure on unlocked devices. I'd stay locked and on stock until it becomes clear that any solutions will work for more than a few weeks at most
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] karenmcd:
I wouldn't have any other OS than stock LineageOS + magisk. Been using Lineage on my nexus 5, 6, one plus 6, 6t and now p8p. love not having access to google, or any data-mining social media platforms. love f-droid. it has all the F(ree)L(ibre)O(pen)S(ource)S(software) apps i need except Signal Messenger, who luckily releases a separate apk that doesnt require the google grift store.

fedilab is great, and element is usually improving (I hate spaces! wtf element!? lol). love newpipe for music and video streaming, although I prefer having a local backup to watch later offline.

I only hope one day I can learn enough and have the time to contribute someday to such an awesome project. 🥰

The only other real alternatives I like are the pinephone and librem5, but they are slow, lack app/ui support, lack the battery life (even with the ppkeyboard) and are too young in development to be "daily drivers".

I'm sure im forgetting lots of other lineageos apps (already thinking of 'app manager', wifianalyzer, aegis, anlinux, nitroshare, keepass, adaware, vlc, and and and...) and reasons to love it, like the great userbase and support from peers who also value owning their devices.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] karenmcd:
I don't use banking apps or such tho on my device. so like the person before me, I'd avoid it for that reason. I don't use payment apps, and instead use cash, debit card, or my PC for web banking.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
If you aren't one like @karenmcd above who wants to avoid Google, Custom ROMs just aren't like the old days when they were introducing users to the earliest version of EXT4, ARM64, custom themes, etc. before stock Android was baking those into stock Android.

It's really a case of YMMV, and I loved flashing ROMS back then but I'm cool with stock on the Pixel phones
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Prey521:
Definitely! The amount that customization options that I get with the ElementalX ROM are very impressive....plus I can still use Google Pay and all of my banking apps.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CityKev:
Out of interest do you have your own custom fingerprint or one that comes with the ROM etc? Since the mass banning by Google of around 95% of working prints a week or so ago nearly everyone is using the XiaomiEU print. When Google decides to ban that (I'm amazed they haven't done so already) then a working print will be rarer than hens teeth :)

Unless a developer comes up with a game changing permanent solution then I think that soon you won't have the option of customisation and things like Google Pay, banking apps etc working. It will be a choice between stock and all functions working or unlocked with many not.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dashwood Foxe:
I stick with stock and never found reason going custom. There's always a trade off here and there no matter what custom rom there is, perpetually in beta. You can call me crass but you have to admit there's always something that falls short on custom roms.

Custom roms: some cool nifty QoL stuff, unique UIs until it breaks to the point you'd be flashing back to stock the next day.

Stock: Works as designed, plus full AI features to boot, none of that sideload muckery to get the most basic of gapps to work.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
You just reminded me of the greatest ROM development for any device I was ever a part of, the HTC-EVO 4G

EVO 4G Android Development

Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android software development

xdaforums.com

Just look at all the amateur development and most of these were not glitchy and everything did work. It's really Android that by its development over the years killed the kind've work we saw "way back when..."
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dashwood Foxe:
Cyanogen mod was my favorite before it got cannibalized by OnePlus' OxygenOS team I think. Such a polished kit that they went pro is an understatement.

You'd think if the bulk of the custom rom makers were up to snuff to show something compelling and functional, they wouldn't really be here mucking around on XDA would they? They would have likely been working for these phone makers long ago.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
That was a great team that Cyan had. I was a big fan.

Some those devs were legendary. MikMik, Joey Krim, a bunch of others....

And those were the earliest versions of some ROMs that are still being updated.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] baker-kaichou:
That is an AI generated prompt huh.

1. You do not void your warranty for unlocking the bootloader.

2. Bugs also exist on stock roms. Sometimes even more severe ones than custom roms.

3. Less customization is subjective. De-googled rom like grapheneOS offers way less features than stock rom.

P.S. If you want to use de-googled android, use GrapheneOS. It even offers sandboxed google play services if you want to use some google stuff.

Edit: GrapheneOS also offers bootloader relocking so no more play integrity headache. Their web installer is also very beginner friendly.

Stock = boring!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Please don't use AI-generated responses
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
you are not going to get much benefit from a custom rom if you have to use google wallet.

the main benefit from a custom rom is the performance benefits from not having goggle apps and services use your CPU 24/7.

i like a custom rom for maximum privacy, security and performance.

but then there are benefits form the factory also, like the camera and come other features.

here is hoping that the EU forces goggle and apple make all their "features" optional and not mandatory.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] magi44ken:
What stock feature do you lose if you go custom ROM beside the play integrity issue? Does all Google apps works perfectly like Google Camera, Google Recorder, Google Dialer with screen calls blocking, etc...?

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] hellmo_luciferrari:
Well, I truly this comes down to use case and preference. For most non-technical, standard users, I would say stay stock as a blanket statement.

However, there are features that I get from running a rooted LineageOS install with a custom kernel, that I could not have on stock.

For me the pros of having a rooted device are (but not exhaustive in any way):

Custom Kernel (I use Sultan Kernel) mainly for better thermals because I run lots of magisk modules and programs that run in the background

Hosts based Ad Blocking via AdAway

AFWall+ which is a firewall that requires root privileges

Magisk Modules such as: A-GPS SUPL replacer, Sysemless Hosts, WireGuard Command Line Tools

While this may seem like a short list, it accomplishes many of the things I wish to accomplish.
