same exact thing on bliss rom
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lapirado:
Here works randomly (the toggle only too). But most of times it don't.

And well, battery stats keep rising. The idle is the best that I've ever seen (0,27), but the active is about to go to 13. Not terrible, but not good too

New build release today good battery life great sound my go to ROM
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
like how many hours of sot you get? coz last versions werent good for me,idle went 30 to 40 % overnight
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
2/3 % overnight side note too I am also ran into the Android debloating tool and ripped out most of the recommendation stuff and I don't use Google Assistant I have it disabled turned off deleted, I do believe this ROM has better Dolby sound than the stock to me it's louder and just sounds better
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] thearcher1:
Hey man, how do you debloat and completely get rid of the google assistant and other stuff without bricking your phone?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
make sure your boot loader is unlocked , doing this on a locked boot loader is risky, but this is simple pretty much place the exe in your platform tool directory and click it make sure usb debugging is check in developer options , very simple , and stick with default of what they recommend unless you have experience in what you want to remove , https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater

the cool part to is you do not need to put the phone in fastboot just have it on , the first time you run it your phone will ask for permission just click allow and remember and your set, if it's to confusing I could do a video tomorrow and post it , I do run this on just about every rom
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
ill give it a try,how do you install the rom btw,as the instructions say?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
what fw did you use,hyper os or 14.0.8 im?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
clean flash , coming off latest hyp global FW , install TWRP wipe data /format drag rom to phone flash
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
thank you,i feel like phone gets warm do you have same feeling? or mb coz i was on 14.0.8 fw
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
and btw,do you use idle manager in battery settings?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jefffrom:
yes and turn off printing services if you dont print from phone, some more things you can do choose LTE over 5G I notice no difference in speed that will save battery as well nothing too as you might want to dump the default messaging app and head to f Droid and download QKSMS much better app
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
I keep 2g,i debloat roms aswell but i think that idle manager keeps phone awake,you dont have this problem?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
what i want to ask - what gallery do you use?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
mneh,went back to neoteric os a13
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lapirado:
Well, after tested project infinity (that isn't fully stable yet and still lacks some useful features for me), I've decided to flash the new Matrixx. I really like this rom too, because it has all the features that I'm used to. The problem always have been the poor bb.

I flashed right away the new n0 kernel, that brought back the low freqs. Let's see how it behaves.

I'm not very confident that the bb will be good. If it don't please me I will return to ghost 13.9, and probably will stay there till the A15 come
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] thearcher1:
Thank you so much for a detailed response, I'll make sure to use this tool after flashing Matrixx on my Poco F3. I've heard it's a good ROM after Ghost OS.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lapirado:
Well, I confirm. Bb improved a bit, but still bad for me.

Beside that, Dolby isn't working in every apps that I use to listen audio, and fast charge doesn't have triggered this morning when I've putted to charge (completely random because yesterday night it have triggered).

And every 14 rom has this annoying thing with the double click on recents. On a13 it jumped from the front page to the foreground one, on a14 that doesn't happen, it jumps always to the same page.

So I'm fed up with 14,im gonna return to 13 and stay there for at least some good time
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
neoteric os a13 is best for now,it's same arrow os 13 but this one is clo
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lapirado:
Yes have read good feedback about it, but I like roms with some features and customization. Afaik neo hasn't none, or almost. But thanks for the suggestion 👍
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] diyaz97:
well,a few it has compared to arrow 13 which had none

What the title of the post says, I have magisk on my phone and it's unlocked, but the root got removed during the update. How do I re-root my phone?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] willyabel:
I imagine that you also lost the recovery, if so, enter fastbootd mode (this is done simply by entering the stock recovery) and flash an abl.img from a previous firmware, this will make you enter a loop in fastboot mode, there you can flash a custom recovery or flash a boot.img with root.

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] VBKIS:
Hello,

First, sorry for my bad English.

I own a Redmi Note 8T (can't find the right forum for it).

I want to downgrade my phone from miui 12.5 to 12 (Android 11 to 11) and I found that i can do it without unlocking bootloader with the rename method.

I tried to do it, but the update stop very quickly and the phone reboot to android and a notification say "unable to update miui" (sorry if it's the wrong error in english, I translate it from french).

I'm on 12.5.5.0 RCXEUXM.

Thanks for your help.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] khusika:
Downgrading MIUI is not recommended without going through data formatting (UBL is required), this may cause malfunctions in your OS. I suggest you do UBL and reinstall the MIUI that you want to install by formatting the data first.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jatin Verma x821:
easiest way imo:

-unlock bootloader (no waiting time if you already had connected the account, if not then you might have to wait)

-flash the miui version you want

-lock the bootloader
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] dedi.suhaidi:
you need clean flash to downgrade miui.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] revolted:
please, need some help in rooting this phone because, cant find online the firmware file for it.

if someone can help... thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
Just use kingoroot.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] revolted:
better use magisk... and finally the firmware EUR version arrived at SamFW.

but thanks anyway
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
Great to hear. Have a good one. ✌
[Samsung Galaxy A55] sleeping3119:
i tried flashing firmware with odin(3.14.4) but encounter error: complete write operation failed View attachment 6093714
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
Can't you just take it to your local Samsung store?
[Samsung Galaxy A55] BlackMesa123:
Try using Smart Switch to reset your device.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] revolted:
will not work
[Samsung Galaxy A55] revolted:
what did you do before? bootloader unlocked? already rooted fw? what did you do?
[Samsung Galaxy A55] sleeping3119:
i tried with freya, it was a good experience i not just flash offical firmware in the next try i rooted it too, so here is how can you root you samsung a556b
[Samsung Galaxy A55] ChingMiles:
You can use magisk to patch the AP in the stock firmware and then flash it into the phone, provided you have to unlock the bootloader, but unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone will cause knox to physically fuse, resulting in the loss of after-sales support from the device manufacturer, as well as some functionality If you are sure you don’t need these, then you can do this!
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
Thats the soft brick had the same issue when i wanted to flash the firmware for XID but with samfw software i was able to fix it this i think its because of not flashing the right firmware
[Samsung Galaxy A55] sleeping3119:
I was trying to flash this firmware. I tried flashing it multiple times with odin (13.14.4) and patched odin but encounter same error.

Then i tried flashing same firmware with Freya Tool and it worked. I Also then rooted my mobile using Freya without any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
Bro advise how did you flash the stock rom I don't plan to root the phone just I want to know how to flash it with stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy A55] sleeping3119:
All step are the same as odin just use friya instead of odin.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
Thanks will try it out
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
@sleeping3119 can I use Freya to put another rom firmware xid
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
I don't see why not!
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
So it will work it won't give me an error as I had tried with Odin and it soft bricked the device so really taking precautions
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
Soft bricking isn't a problem. Just have a copy of the stock rom, to flash whenever you brick it. Yes it will work... HAHAHAAHAHAAAHAHA. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
That's what the error I got that why I was worried but I will try
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
You used

Use Friya not Odin peace man. Let me know if anything went wrong. And ALWAYS HAVE A STOCK ROM!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
Yes will try and let you know man and yeah I will have stock rom it was a new phone so yes i wasn't able to get stock rom but now I downloaded it from samfw
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
You can trust SamFW hope it works.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
Yeah I used to download my a53 rom from there and it works. Will see how it works
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
I actually used Freya and it really worked well and installed xid rom properly
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
Mis-typed freya and great job! Hope it helped. 😊
[Samsung Galaxy A55] MuhammadBharadia:
Yes bro thanks so much it worked really fine did it yesterday as it's the one that gets early updates monthly
[Samsung Galaxy A55] InfinityBelow:
Yep man, if you have any other questions, feel free to dm me in a new conversation. Peace.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] aeoxshin:
in my opinion its still too early to root your a55, because for me I always root my phone if firmware and security updates doesn't supports my device anymore, because srsly unless you are using your device in abnormal way its really unnecessary to root your phone unlike when you are in the early and mid 201× year where you can't use the full potential of your phone unless you tinker it, and in my opinion rooting your phone will only increase your device vulnerability in case it was stolen or lost.
[Nova Launcher] Marceobeo:
Hi everyone, I have a question about my new Honor m6pro.

using Nova I can't get the button at the bottom left of recent apps to work.

All with version 7 or 8

I ask: Is there a way to activate the button functionality on Nova?

Thanks for the help 😉
[Google Pixel 8] MirceaViP:
As the title says, is it worth rooting in your opinion? It's not my first rodeo but with the Pixel 8 (and 6a before) I feel maybe it's not worth it. What's your take?
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
What would you want to root it for? If you try flashing a custom rom, it could void your warranty, but if you are just rooting then you should be safe. I don't know exactly for that device.
[Google Pixel 8] AggresiveSoldier:
Only reason i root is for free unlimited Gphotos storage in original quality.

Im a cheapskate:ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 8] jawz101:
The only compelling reasons I would root for is if it would either allow me to enable some hardware feature that does not work without root or to disable parts of apps for analytics/tracking/ads (i.e. services, broadcast receivers, activities, content providers.) I used to root a decade ago when custom ROMs added features not in Android but, ever since about Android Oreo, most of the features a custom ROM added are now integrated in stock Android (night mode, blue-light reduction, quick tiles.) And I'm older and less interested in constantly tinkering with my device to try and ink out performance with unfounded tweaks.
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
What does your warranty say about it?
[Google Pixel 8] MirceaViP:
I answered the question myself. The thing is most root apps and mods don't work yet on the Pixel as the developers are working to get them updated. The custom launcher that I was thinking on using (Lawnchair with Quick Switch) doesn't yet work on the Pixel. And even when the devs do update their mods, Google will release another update and it's the same again. For adblocking there is dns.adguard.com .

So in short, maybe for other devices to debloat and such it's worth rooting, for the Pixel it's not worth it.
[Google Pixel 8] UniquePhillip:
I root because sometimes I want to do things that require sudo. If you never root it is harder to discover what these things are. For me the biggest is access to files in directories that are normally off limits like cacerts and data/data

have you ever googled for how to do something on android only to find the only way was with root? or tried to do something with tasker and have it say it needs root? (admittedly tasker is a lot better now with wireless adb)

The only real losses are HD streaming and tap to pay with credit cards in wallet again. Personally I don't even notice the SD stream but I do wish wallet worked sometimes.
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
Personally if you're not planning to use it as a phone like calling texting, then definitely root. Hope this helped.
[Google Pixel 8] AggresiveSoldier:
This isnt fully true, i have KSU running and can use Google Wallet to pay at stores without a problem.
[Google Pixel 8] UniquePhillip:
Are you able to modify /system without tripping safetynet? (or use something like magisk)

if so I'm gonna install one, thanks for bringing this up
[Google Pixel 8] AggresiveSoldier:
I couldnt say, never had the need to modify any files in there but i could give my file explorer ROOT priv and i didnt loose my wallet payment option
[Google Pixel 8] matmat07:
Yea, I will need more info on that, maybe in private though haha.

As for me, it's to backup app and their Data at least. I'm not sure what else uses it. I'd rather have all access available
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
I root for unlimited photos backup, call recording, ad blocker, revanced music and YouTube. I'm sure there's other things but that's the jist of it
[Google Pixel 8] msgranger12:
Rooting your Android in 2024 is a gamble. While it grants deep customization and performance tweaks, the risks are high: security vulnerabilities, potential bricking, and lost warranty/updates. Many desired features are now achievable without root. Unless you're an experienced user with a specific need, sticking with stock software is the safer bet.
[Google Pixel 8] alloxrinfo:
I've Revanced Extended (Youtube Video and Music) without any root. What's with that unlimited photo backup ? Read it in another comment. How does it work ? Thx
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
I wouldn't try that if I were you. You're gonna void your warranty, and Google has the right to withhold security updates from you.
[Google Pixel 8] UniquePhillip:
Bricking has not really been a problem for years (since Android 4). If you manage to brick your phone nowadays you'd have to be trying (even if you're just blindly copying commands from the internet you'll be fine)

Warranty has never really been a problem either (I've RMAd many rooted phones, just unroot first if possible but even if you can't I've never had a RMA be rejected).

Installing apps without root doesn't void your warranty. Google "has the right" to withhold security updates whenever they want
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
Nice fear mongering bud👌
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
The unlimited photo backup is just a module that spoofs your phone as an original pixel I believe. Works flawlessly for me. Evo custom rom used it built into the rom so there's no separate module
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
The heck? You can cause problems by doing that, but hey, if you wanna cheat the system, then that's fine with me, BUD. Just be careful. Peace man.
[Google Pixel 8] alloxrinfo:
Thanks for your answers. Thing is I already have a Pixel 8. No need to spoof. But from what I read, the 2 tb cloud storage is only free for 6 months. Other than that, i wouldn't backup all my stuff on a server working because of a module that could stop working one day, risking loosing everything. Or maybe just backup non-important stuff, but then why backup. It's Magisk module ?
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
Cheat the system?? I never worry too much
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
You sound like someone I know.

Do you game? Also why wouldn't you worry? You gonna get struck by Google lightning.
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
Yea I do some gaming. Nah the Google lightning isn't striking anytime anywhere soon. Myself and navy many others will be just fine👌
[Google Pixel 8] uvzen:
If you don't know why you need root, then why are you considering rooting your device? Want personalization? Flash a custom rom (like CrDroid) and you'll have it. Call recording? Custom roms based on LineageOS have a dialer with call recording, so root is still unnecessary. Unlimited photos? Custom roms have this too. If you don't need any of the things mentioned above, then why are you still considering it?
[Google Pixel 8] roshan2989:
i just have question here, already unlock bootloader. Would love to root, the last i root was 2 years ago.

Some time stock google feels lag and smore with modem issue that we face.

i would like to flash Sultan kernel. Anyone know how to flash? and what are the magisk module to use for banking apps and google wallet. Help would be appreciate it.
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
Use kernel flasher to flash the kernel and add your wallet and banking app to magisk deny list and clear the cache and data for them too and install the latest play integrity fix module
[Google Pixel 8] Bofahad:
Of course
[Google Pixel 8] roshan2989:
if i unlck the bootloader and use sultan kernel without root is it possible? just asking
[Google Pixel 8] Fusseldieb:
I mainly root to get Viper4Android, among other nice stuff.
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
If you were able to flash the kernel manually thru fastboot you could absolutely use it without root. Kernel flasher requires root tho
[Google Pixel 8] jawz101:
I have a Pixel. Google is ok with people tinkering with their phones from a hardware warranty perspective. They give the ability with commands to unlock a phone & install a ROM with no mention that it voids the warranty of the hardware. You would have to cause physical damage to the phone to void the hardware. Samsung is the only company I am aware of that causes the hardware to be physically altered if the operating system is changed. People on XDA will call this "tripping Knox" or things like that. An actual fuse on the chip gets burnt out or whatever which tells the chip that the operating system is not trusted.

But if you return your phone to its factory operating system and relock the bootloader, everything should be back to normal. I would imagine Samsung wouldn't hold you to not honoring a warranty unless the thing you did caused the problem you're having. If you installed a custom ROM right when you bought your phone, the fuse got tripped, and then on day 5 you see 60 dead pixels on the screen, why would they say 'gee... the Knox thing was tripped. We aren't responsible for the dead pixels on your screen." That would be silly.

People are saying some weird things about voiding warranties on here. They tend to forget that a good company will likely care about retaining you as a long-term customer than giving you bad service.
[Google Pixel 8] Carlos_Moreira:
Hi all, I just bought the pixel 8a, and I was expecting to have unlimited google photos storage, but for what I seen so far no, so is there a way to get the free unlimited without root? Or will I have to root and pixelify to a different pixel to get that free unlimited.

Thanks all
[Google Pixel 8] Ćwirek:
Root used to make much more sense than now, I remember rooting the first Motorola Milestone in order to install games directly to the memory card because the memory card had a larger capacity than the internal memory of this phone. Today, new phones have so much internal memory that doing something like this simply makes no sense, and many models do not support memory cards.

I've rooted almost every phone I've owned, and I probably only do it now because I don't like the large gap between the end of the keyboard and the body of the phone. I can't explain it better... Also AdAway and Themer.
[Google Pixel 8] perroh:
It's been about 11 years that I've logged on to this site since I switched from Android to Apple, but I am looking into getting a Pixel 8 purely for gaming/spoofing purposes. Are unlocking the bootloader and the rooting process pretty straight forward for this phone??
[Google Pixel 8] InfinityBelow:
Yeah it's pretty easy
