[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
Looks interesting, thanks! I'd assume the Play Store app would re-grant itself that permission on every start or at least after every update, but it's worth a try.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Disabling Play Protect features can leave your device vulnerable. It's generally recommended to keep Play Protect on and find alternative solutions for sideloaded apps, such as downloading them from trusted sources.

Anyways:

This hint won't disable Play Protect itself, but it will silence the notification prompting you to turn it on.

Go to your Android Settings.

Find "Apps" or "Applications."

Locate "Google Play Store" and tap on it.

Look for "Notifications" and disable them.
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
Already did that, read the first post. The nag screen is not a "notification", it's a modal overlay popup/alert/whatever, which ignores notification settings.
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
I tested it for a while and it doesn't seem to influence the behavior in any way - the popup still appears randomly while using other apps. Is there a way to check whether the Play Store app simply re-enabled the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission (and in that case somehow make it persistent with Tasker or so), or whether that's not the relevant permission to begin with.
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Saw a thing called "overlay app permissions" that is enabled by default.
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
Where is that and/or how to disable it? It's not in the regular permission settings of the Play Store app.
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Settings > Apps > permissions > disable "draw over other apps"
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
On a Samsung Android 14 it's (apparently) under Apps -> 3 dots -> Special access -> "Appear on top".

But Google Play Store isn't in the list and Google Play Services (which is in the list) was already disabled for the "Appear on top" permission, so that's not it. There is also a picture-in-picture and full screen alerts permission, but Play Store isn't registered for those either. Any more ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
People on Reddit can't figure it out either. Honestly, Google is going to force you to turn Play Protect on no matter what. One thing I thought about was sideload the apps that keep activating the popup.
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
That's kind of retarded even for Google - why even have the option to deactivate Play Protect if it makes the phone unusable? The only thing it will force me to do is to disable the Play Store app and go months without app updates until I need to install some app (i.e. enable Play Store for a minute) and trigger a manual update of all apps while I'm at it. Or if I have the discipline, I'll use a replacement app store for Play Store apps and never touch the actual Play Store app again.

Also, the popup is not triggered by "certain apps" because Play Protect is disabled. The popup appears specifically when Google thinks I'm using the phone, not when it's locked or idle - it can be for example while using the stock camera and gallery app.
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
I mean, if the popup that intrusive, you should install the replacement play store.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
I used the Recorder app that's on my Pixel 7 Pro to record about 20 minutes of voice. Then I tapped "Transcript" so I could read the recording. Next, I plugged the phone into my computer and went to "recorder.google.com" and found my transcript. When I then tried to copy the text to Notepad, I found that I could only copy one word at a time. In the following example, I could only copy "It's", then ""one", then "that" etc.

Is there a way to copy the entire transcript that's now on my computer to Notepad in just a couple of steps?

View attachment 6086829
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
It might be a very roundabout way, but couldn't you take a screenshot or recent-apps process when looking at the transcript and select text, copy it to any text editor from any of the multitudes of file explorers, then send the text file to your computer...?

Hey,

I recently rooted my phone with magisk. Now I want to use twrp as custom recovery. Phone is a S20 FE (G780F/DS) with code name r8s.

The closest one I found on the side was r8q which is for the snapdragon version. But since I've got the exynos one I'm kinda confused now which one I should go for or if theres even one for my build.
[General Questions and Answers] parrots_:
This TWRP should work:

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy S20 FE (Exynos)

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and...

xdaforums.com

As long as you dont put anything in the CSC slot, your data should be fine. TWRP should only be flashing a recovery image, which shouldn't affect your data either.
[General Questions and Answers] xDaan95:
But doesn't step 7 says

Go back to Wipe > Format Data > type yes.

Also thats only a readme.txt where OP says following:

Spoiler content hidden.

Found the file anyway. Also downloaded the TWRP app, and the app tell me that my device is x1s.. Now I'm even more confused
[General Questions and Answers] parrots_:
I don't believe you have to wipe data, but you could (and should) make a backup anyway. If you do decide to flash it, you might aswell make a backup before flashing of everything on the phone, most importantly the data. The file should still work anyway, if it's still the same model.

I have a LE2120 but I used the global tool previously, now its different it doesnt detect phone. I installed windows drivers but in device manager the phone shows as "android" and not whats supposed. i connect it on fastboot mode and the cable is data transfer. i also tried other MSM and the problem persists.

hi @mindaccount, welcome to XDA!

I found a thread that might help with your problem here, just give it a try.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] mindaccount:
Hi could you help?? i dont get this step: I'm sure you can find the installation package somewhere online, but I don't have a good download source so I am not going to give out random links. i installed drivers from the MSM thread and dont work, what are the good ones?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nimueh:
This guide in the OP forum includes links for all MSM tools and driver downloads. So far everybody in the Telegram groups got it working if they followed they guide and used the linked MSM/EDL driver ;)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mindaccount:
Bro my phone doesn't enter EDL I press Up 5 seconds and the screen is black same holding both volumes what to do?? Device not detected. I installed drivers here, device not detected in EDL. And when I conect to PC it boots in Qualcomm crashdump.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
With phone off, and not connected to pc, run msm tool as administrator and click on start so that it is waiting for device. Then hold both vol up and down buttons down at the same time then connect cable. If pc drivers are properly installed, your device should be restored by the msm tool.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nimueh:
You're not supposed to only press vol up, you press BOTH volume buttons. The guide I linked already tells you that.

Unless your device is fully dead it WILL enter EDL mode - and the black screen you mentioned IS the EDL mode - you don't see anything on the phone screen while in EDL. But if you don't start MSM right away the phone will reboot again within 10-15 seconds. The guide also tells you that if I'm not mistaken.

Go back to the guide again, make sure your drivers are installed, and really follow the guide step by step. The button combination is a bit iffy and it took me like 20 attempts the 1st time I used MSM, but it will work eventually.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] xlinux_:
Qd loader 9008 driver is your answer. If you go to OnePlus website and download OnePlus 9 pro driver installer it will install the driver. Reboot PC

Now while going into MSM tool you want it to be loading in as you connect your device holding both volume keys at the same time and also plugging In the cable straight away. MSM tool needs to be partially loaded up make sure you're sign in as other no password.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
You need the Qualcomm drivers for ESL mode, OnePlus drivers for other modes.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:
Having similar problem with LE2123.

Tried to relock but messed up.

Situation now: doesnt boot to fastboot, booting up ends with: "The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the current image or contact customer service to fix it."

Have tried: to boot ESL (opening device manage and waitinng 9008 to appear). Result: unkown USB device (device descriptor request failed), to let MSMtool to find it (start MSM, choose, hit start etc.) No luck.

Have done: installed Oneplus drivers, installed Qualcomm USB Qloader9008 drivers.

Still nothing.

If anyone can give an advice, any help is appreciated.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] immortalwon:
You need to put windows 10/11 into test mode for test signing drivers and install the oneplus drivers again. Download the correct MSM tool and retry.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:

From this screenshot, it appears that windows itself is not recognizing your device because there's something malfunctioning on your phone. Could be a hardware related problem.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:
Hardware was ok till I tried to relock the device (fastboot flashing lock)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] immortalwon:
you need to hold both volume buttons and power button together at the same time until the Qualcomm EDL driver is loaded into device manager. Make sure you also have it installed.

Also make sure the correct MSM tool is running and Start option is on
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:
QC EDL drivers installed, USB drivers updated, Oneplus drivers installed.

Tried both combos: vol+- +power and vol+- in device manager and MSMtools (target EU, hit start to wait).

Nothing. Back to USB not recognized.

Anyone knows where is OP9Pro EDL TEST POINT?

Google doesnt help. Have used test point on Xiaomi devices.

Do you see test mode in lower right corner of PC desktop?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:
Yes, installed drivers in test mode, followed every tutorial
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Make sure phone is off, start MSM and click start "waiting for device", then hold only volume up and down buttons in and plug cable into phone. Make sure cable is already plugged into a usb2 port. It may take a few times to get it to work, but it does work. Before plugging in phone you can open device manager on PC and watch to see if phone driver is Qualcomm 9008. If it is not then the proper drivers have not been installed or installed correctly.
[FYT Android Head Units] J_Ribeiro:
Hi all.

New in here.

I bought a unit from Aliexpress and it kept turning on and off the apps like google maps / music without me touching anything, so i sent a message to the seller that sent me a software update...

After installing it this happened.

"If you flash an AllAppUpdate.bin from a Mekede firmware (with id=1 or id=116) to a Joying (with id=43 and lately also id=1) or vice versa, you might get a perfectly working unit, but a big yellow bar in the top of your screen mentioning that the MCU is incompatible. However, due to real differences in MCU firmware (which is in general not compatible), you might also encounter serious issues. Not because the software is incompatible, but because it behaves differently on another MCU. The optional MCU firmware. This is definitely NOT compatible!"

The seller does not know how to solve this, so he does not answer my messages anymore. I am new to this, and I am really upset, because the unit was expensive an the warning bar on top of it it´s very annoying.

After that i had some help from surfer63 and i got rid of that stupid yellow banner.

Thank you very much mate.

Well... I still have some doubts about what´s going on in the unit and someone told me that I should install a YUEC not a NOR.

I have no idea what is that, but I suspect that i still have some work to do.

Can someone help me on this?

Thank you all. Thank you for creating this Forum.

Cheers
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
just do not update mcu without reason (delete stm32ud.bin, 6315mcuall.bin filesl) and yes, if you want to update MCU you need YUEC mcu update. any other will fail to install
[FYT Android Head Units] J_Ribeiro:
I have "updated" it because i had a few issues, and I did it with the files provided by the seller, guess the seller does not know what he is doing (Chinese from Aliexpress, guess I could expect that).

Thanks mate
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfboy:
After playing around with trying to install following this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-tutor...or-wifi-any-version-to-android-9-pie.3392831/ I seem to have my tablet stuck without it booting.

I've tried the process a few times with success (trying different versions of Android / Lineage 16 and 20) but wanted to go back to 16.

I managed to get it to load the image, but when I ask for a reboot, it doesn't.

I now seem to be stuck and can do the following:

Power button alone - nothing happens.

Power button + volume down : nothing happens

Power button + volume up : after a few seconds, I get one red/white flash. If I stop here, nothing happens.

If I continue to hold, a few seconds later, I get three white flashes.

When I do this, it seems to then toggle with a constant red light (whether plugged in or not) and no light.

In both cases, I can't seem to get it to do anything else.

How can I recover from this?

Thanks!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfboy:
I've made some progress maybe. If I hold power button + volume up and wait for the single white flash and then press volume down with the tablet connected to the computer, it recognises a device, but not as a table. It sees a "S1 Service" with no drivers installed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
Hello!

You need to flash stock firmware (any version except 5.x.x) via Flashtool v0.9.18.6 to recover tablet.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfboy:
Thanks. I was missing the S1 driver. Once I had that, I was able to flash using flashtool. Tablet now has Lineage running on it :)

Due to Samsung's proprietary IMS service, Samsung devices were unable to use VoLTE on AOSP-based ROMs.

After tinkering with my device (Galaxy A21s) for some time, I was able to successfully make (and receive) VoLTE calls on LineageOS 18.1.

I believe this can also be applied to other Samsung devices with Samsung Exynos chipsets, and also for newer LineageOS versions.

Currently, I am trying to summarize all the changes that I made to enable this. Attached is the smali changes that I made to the imsservice APK

to enable VoLTE. (additional files were added to /system/bin, framework, and lib as well. I will share those changes too, asap) I hope I can contribute to the effort of enabling

VoLTE on all AOSP-based ROMS for Samsung devices.

Please understand that this is still research in progress, and in very early phase. Additional works, such as writing SELinux policies, testing for additional bugs, and enabling Video-calling are also needed. I cannot make any guarantees.

Broadly all or specific Exynos chipsets?

My S5 phones (klte and kltedv) use the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5422, but my understanding is that LTE is handled by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. Since it's VoLTE, I would have though the LTE chipset was the more important bit?

Can you guess I have no dev skills?

3G is being switched off in September in Australia, which will brick both my S5 phones (klte and kltedv). I don't want to rush him, but....

😋
[General Topics] w_tapper:
lmao fellow optus user, im pretty sure all australian s5 phones use the sd801 not an exynos chipset, my klte is snapdragon
[General Topics] asdf2345:
S5 would probably be the best old device to benefit from this. Give it a good ROM, maybe undervolt or whatever, use older or lighter apps and it can do a lot of stuff. With working VoLTE, I would say it would still be usable today.
[General Topics] DarkSteve:
By that I assume you mean the kltedv? The SM-G900I? That's why I always specify my phones, I have an SM-G900F (klte) as well, the international version. Honestly, my understanding of their hardware comes from wikipedia, and I'm the worst coder alive (I can kinda write a very basic script, but it takes me forever and it can do bugger all).

I'm very prepared to retire my phones. It makes me sad, my kltedv has been wonderful, but I know they can't last forever.

My daily driver is running LineageOS 20 (kltedv), and my test phone is running LineageOS 21 (klte). They're based on Android 13 and 14 respectively. Without google's malware installed, LOS20 runs great (I'm finding LOS21 a bit flakier). I moved to Cyanogenmod a decade ago to get away from google, I never understood people going to the effort of getting rid of google only to reinstall it.
[General Topics] asdf2345:
I more so meant a 14.1 ROM as I find that's the best balance between performance and compatibility for these old devices. But yeah MicroG really is the way to go for best performance on top of privacy. Google Play Services is so bloated. Even many years ago it would just make one of my phones unusably slow.
[General Topics] DarkSteve:
Absolutely. Now that LineageOS is allowing signature spoofing for MicroG, I tested it on a clean install of LOS21 (Android14). (It was an almost clean install, I'd installed MS Authenticator to check whether Push Notifications was working with MicroG.)

I wanted to exclude power used by screen usage, so I charged the phone then let it sit idle. My old test S5 (klte) sat for almost three days before hitting 50% battery charge. That's brilliant, way better than you can get with GApps installed.

It's kinda telling that MicroG is 30MB-60MB in size, depending where you get it and how it's installed, but GApps is anywhere from a couple of hundred MB up to 1GB in size. That's a lot of google spyware to drain your battery and reduce performance.
[General Topics] ethical_haquer:
@DarkSteve, @asdf2345

Yeah, the S5 works well. l'm currently running DivestOS on my G900A, it's based on LOS 18.1. What exactly do you need MicroG for nowadays?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Men! obviously!

Obviously it becomes off cause the critic procedure is to cahrge the batt as soon as it can cause the batt may Die... so when you got more tha 15% perform a softreset, then enable again on comm manager the phone on or turn off the airplane mode...

Ray_jai? Are you in LALILULELO foxhound project? :rolleyes:

try it men!?

can i just disable it?

mmmm ts dangerous to let your batt reach the limits! like 5%

can someone please help me figure out a fix? theres no point in enabling this, the phone shuts off 5 seconds after the radio goes off anyway.
