Using aodNotify 6.01, has anyone noticed that now the "notification title" shows up only as a generic "New message" title and the notification text shows after a 5-20 minute delay? Any fix/workaround/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 4qx:
I'd like to compare the quality of photos taken on stock xz1c against ones taken on xz1c with LOS/xperiance.

I got both models but my old LOS xz1c has a broken screen. A Magisk update wiped the root, also.

Are there ways I could still access it with adb or another tool and take some pictures?

Also--If someone who owns both variants would like to take a few side-by-side photos and share, please do.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wojtasys:
Hi, I need a stable, glitch free custom ROM to replace the stock MIUI on mom's old phone, as her banking app stopped working due to it having only A7. So my priority is security and banking apps working.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Lord Sithek:
I recommend LineageOS or crDroid for more more customization, but no higher than Android 11. Higher versions are too heavy for mido in my opinion and laggy.

But be aware that unlocking bootloader and flashing custom ROM may compromise some banking apps. There are tools and techniques to hide this facts but they not always help and well... That's a different topic
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wojtasys:
Thanks. Compromise how? Can't I lock the bootloader after installing a custom ROM?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Lord Sithek:
You can't lock bootloader while on custom ROM, you will brick your device then. But you can always get back to stock MIUI using MiFlash tool.

By "compromising" I mean that many banking apps use various measures to detect modified system - some more advanced, others not. So if they detect that, they may refuse to work or limit their functionality. There are methods (with root access) to fool those apps, with more or less success
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wojtasys:
Does that make those apps prone to hacking or otherwise being accessed by unwanted parties?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Lord Sithek:
Never heard of anyone suffered from hackers while using custom ROM or root. But using modified system is more risky than using stock ROM, in theory. So it's your choice

How to remove it?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
You can't mount system as rw in android since android 10. You have to use recovery for that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlbertDaYoung:
Hi this is my first time really poking around the linux filesystem, and especially in Android.

And I have my Galaxy S10+ running TWRP and crdroid rooted with Magisk, and was looking around the file structure in Termux, and I was wondering if you could inject a binary or more simple a bash script that runs a python script into the boot process of Android, and have it running in the background at all time like a Mobile Device Management system.

Does anyone know how, and or any tips to do it?

I have very little experience woth the linux that powers Android, I'm more in the Debian x86 linux, but any help is appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
With Magisk you can run things either from a module or as an overlay, see: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#boot-scripts

Aw, don't do Python. Isn't it better to do stuff with an environment already present than to saddle the poor device with some foreign environment?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlbertDaYoung:
True, I could look into making my own Magisk module.

And I'm just more familiar with Python but I know it is **** at doing stuff at the low end, should I go with something like C or Java?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
I'm not sure what you want to do.

If it's going to react with stuff in the Java world (Android SystemService's) then you want a regular apk, but probably a privileged one.

It would start itself with BOOT_COMPLETED in the manifest.

init services that start from init.whatever.rc are easier to escalate but must be normal Linux (Android) executables.

They could interact with Android SystemService's, but it's more difficult as you have to "roll your own" with Binder calls.

And the results are very Android version dependent.

Me? I mostly do the second.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlbertDaYoung:
Mhmm, I'm right now currently trying to see if I can make a small script in rust and see if I can get it to run with the .rc files.

I dont really want to make an apk because it's too much work considering I'm constantly at school and I have an android tablet for school work not a pc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Well, it's hard to actually develop on a device (vs a desktop).

I suggest that you run Debian inside a Docker container and use CommonLisp to run a Basic interpreter. :devilish:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlbertDaYoung:
Damn, anyways thanks for the help
[OnePlus 10 Pro] gort32:
Longtime OnePlus user, have been installing LineageOS on them since it was Cyanogenmod on a 3T. So, when my 9T suffered a catastrophic failure the other day I jumped online and found a cheap refurb 10 Pro that I figured would get me by.

I failed to look before I took the leap :(

LineageOS not supported on the 10 Pro, forum posts everywhere about how it sucks, and how it's lacking the tools to work with it the way that every previous OnePlus has offered, and loaded with bloatware out of the box. Damn.

So, my question is, what can I do with this?

Perfect world, I am looking for minimal'ish OS, root access (presumably via Magisk), sideload GApps Pico and build my app list from there, with working hardware features and automatic OS updates. I suspect that I am not living in a perfect world. LineageOS fit this bill nicely, but I'm open to alternatives, including if something like a "base" install of OxygenOS were an option but without all the preinstalled bloatware.

I can hunt down specific instructions as I go, for this I'm really just looking to get an idea of the current state of what will and will not work for this device and what, what directions I may want to head, and how screwed I am by not doing my research!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Prant:
I genuinely recommend fully wiping it, updating it fully, rooting it, debloating the trash apps out, and using it like that. Imo it's the best experience you'll get with this device, there's a lot of custom ROM development but for some reason they're all on Telegram. ( https://xdaforums.com/t/which-rom-do-you-prefer-feedback.4675026/ This is the forum link that has the TG group link if you're interested.) I've reason to believe this is both due to developer laziness and something shady with their build process.

So, I'd stick to the official firmware, until more light comes to the unofficial builds lurking in the shadows. Rooting it is straight forward, BOOT not Flash the boot image. You can use tweaks like Kernel SmartPack to bring out the best of the device from there.
[Google Pixel 7] PixelBobma:
I haven’t played for 2-3 months (i.e. I don’t know after what update).

It heats up to 44-48 degrees (depending on how). The settings are minimal. Sounds are minimal. FPS is second right after energy saving.

Previously, it only warmed up at maximum setting. Now at minimum setting.

I play via LTE. I used to play via LTE too. nothing is running.

I don't play other games. Maybe it's the same in other games. Don't know

How to fix?

[Google Pixel Fold] XDM inc:
I see there's ways to mod wireless charging phones speeds. I was wondering if anyone here tried it yet? my motorcycles phone mount can charge at 15w and for my old phone (mi9) that was enough to keep it chargine unless it was using google maps in too HOT weather. on my google pixel fold it pretty much does not even charge, it discharges way faster then it can charge. I read that unofficial wireless chargers only do about 5w from the already slow 7.5w of the officially supported watts.
[Google Pixel Fold] blackhawk:
If you can and do override the power controller in hot weather you'll likely damage the battery.

It only takes one over temperature event to degrade an Li like this. It may damage the mobo as well.

You can listen to music by bluetooth with no streaming while charging or talk on the phone with the display off but that's about all.

For maps get a dedicated unit like a Garmin.
[Google Pixel Fold] k0rner:
You actually can do that.

However, compared even to a Pixel 5, Fold has only a basic wireless charging chip capable of ~10W maximum.

Control files are located in /sys/class/power_supply/wireless, where you can set maximum allowed voltage (in microvolts, 11000000 is 11V to boost charging speed.

From my experiments, everything below 12V (12000000) is safe. However, once the power output reaches 10W the controller resets and stops charging (safely, just lift the phone off charger to restart the session).

Again ,with my available changers (including Xiaomi 50W wireless power monster charger) the optimal value is 11.2V (11200000). This can be done by running "echo 11200000 > /sys/class/power_supply/wireless/voltage_max" as root.

Charging speed also depend heavily on the battery temperature, and will begin to taper once the battery is above 36C, and charging stops completely after 39C is reached.

You can also set charging limit by writing percentage to /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level.

The phone will display a notification "Charging was optimized to protect the battery".
[Google Pixel Fold] XDM inc:
ah, thanks for the info.
[Google Pixel Fold] k0rner:
You're welcome.

I've also forgot to add that you need to set voltage_max for each wireless charging session, as it gets reset once the charging stops. Something like MacroDroid can do that.
[Google Pixel Fold] CoolKitty:
I don't know if it's worth it IMO.

I charge with a cable and the original 18W brick of a previous gen Pixel, not wirelessly, and it pretty much always gets hot while charging. Maybe if you live somewhere with a cold climate, sure, but for normal conditions I expect it would get hot enough to tank the possible benefit of increased wattage pretty quickly. Then again, if it can do only 10W wireless if you mod it, maybe it wouldn't get so hot?
[Google Pixel Fold] k0rner:
Wired charging is way more efficient, so charging with full 24W wired charger is both faster and cooler than 10W wireless. However, wireless charging is convenient sometimes - so we do have it
[Google Pixel Fold] CoolKitty:
I'm not against wireless charging, I can't deny the convenience.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't bother modding it. I think that the wireless charging on this particular phone is a little crippled by design, but i don't mind slow charging speeds as I charge overnight and it's better for the battery to trickle charge (supposedly...)
[Google Pixel Fold] XDM inc:
I do prefer wired too but im planning on using this on my motorcycle mount which supports 15w wireless charging. it does wired as well but 1. its only c to c and the only cable i have like that is the one that came with it, i dont like the idea of wires dangling off my motorcycle. 2. i want to be able to grab the phone fast and go when im leaving the bike.
[Google Pixel Fold] blackhawk:
It's better if you avoid charging in places where you can't control the temperature of the phone battery. There are minimum start temperatures, and after it get cooler than 72F charging can cause lithium plating.

However 82F or higher is best.

Going above 100F should be avoided as well.

102F max.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] exoticdee:
I have dropped my cell phone many times, and today its display definitely stopped working, in the same way, its touch did not work well, I had already changed the screen and that time was when the multitouch stopped working well, sometimes it worked but it was almost impossible to play without the screen going crazy, that's why I ask, what screen should I buy?

[General Questions and Answers] Angelo.79:
(Bear with me here, as screenshots are not possible. Please read)

During my years of owning my tablet, one issue has been apparent throughout; the lag is unbearable. Unbearable to the point where games become slideshows.

Even in an FPS game that doesn't lag, the camera always moves in increments for some reason, as in when I try to aim on a target, my camera won't move smoothly and I often overshoot it or undershoot it while aiming, then I can't hit the target. If I do somehow aim on my target, my camera gets a stroke whenever I let go of the screen to shoot, so I need to re-aim. Those are other problems I believe is due to lag. Even searching about them do not give any helpful information, and that's why I'm asking you about this other problem.

I know I'm not just bad at the game since when I use my sibling's Apple IPad, which is a very powerful IPad which doesn't lag, I suddenly get actual good aim. I wanted to solve these issues, and since I figured it's from lag, I was considering using Game Boosters. Before I do so, I decided to research about Game Boosters, and every article seems kinda sketchy. So instead of blindly downloading boosters and hoping they work and don't hijack my tablet and sell my soul to the dark web, I had to ask others. Reddit is not helpful, so I had to ask you guys. Please help me. How do I troubleshoot un-smooth camera movements, and verify Game Boosters?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO game booster apps likely offer minimal benefits. They might even introduce security risks. Some booster apps might request unnecessary permissions or contain bloatware. Far better is to manually close unnecessary background apps before launching a game.
[General Questions and Answers] Angelo.79:
Awesomeness! Thanks for the help, but my camera still has strokes and snaps in place. Although thank you for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The strokes and snaps you're seeing in your Android camera app could be caused by a few things. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Restart Your Phone:

A simple restart can often resolve temporary glitches in apps. Power off your phone completely and then turn it back on.

2. Clear Camera App Cache:

Cached data can sometimes become corrupted and cause app misbehavior. Here's how to clear the camera app cache:

Go to Settings > Apps & notifications (or similar depending on your phone).

Find the "Camera" app and tap on it.

Look for "Storage" or "Storage & cache".

Tap on "Clear Cache" and see if the issue persists.

3. Update Camera App (if available):

Outdated apps might have bugs that have been fixed in newer versions. Check if there's an update available for the camera app on the Google Play Store.
[General Questions and Answers] Angelo.79:
Oh, no no no, I think you misinterpreted it. As in in-game. Whenever try to aim my camera at a target, my camera often moves in increments, thus I can't aim accurately. On a stronger device that's just fine, it isn't a problem. This glitch is hindering my skill in FPS Shooter Games, and I couldn't seem to fix it. This is actually extremely embarrassing for me, as I should've specified. But still, thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The jerky camera movement you're experiencing in-game could be caused by a few factors, and RAM might be one of them, but not the most likely culprit: of course insufficient RAM can contribute to lag and stutter.

What you can try:

1. Because your phone (I assume it's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite) is on the lower end in terms of RAM, try lowering the game's graphics settings. This can free up some resources and potentially improve performance.

2. Check your phone's touch sensitivity settings. These are usually found under Display or Settings > Advanced features (depending on your phone model). Try adjusting the touch sensitivity to see if smoother movement is achieved.

3. Look for settings within the game itself related to sensitivity or aiming controls. Some games offer options to adjust aiming speed, deadzone (area around the joystick center that doesn't register movement), or gyroscope settings (if your phone has one). Experiment with these settings to find a sweet spot.

Take note that the issue also could be hardware-related, like a faulty touch screen or gyroscope (if your phone has one).

so i want to lock this app macrorify since it keeps getting killed after few minutes of macroing. i tried several apps like memory locker,pimp my rom, ram manager but they all need busybox which I can't install on my phone. this would also happen not only with macrorify but also with any background apps or overlays like fps meter, temperature meter,yt music, Spotify when playing games. i know this a ram problem since my phone only have 4gb ram but is there something that at least i can do while i saved money to upgrade my potato phone?😔
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO that's what you can try:

Dev Options (if there): Look for Background process limit or Don't keep activities settings. Use caution!

Whitelist Macrorify: Find Battery optimization and set Macrorify to "Don't optimize".

Tame background hungry apps: Many apps have settings to limit background activity. Check them out!

Lite app power? Some apps (like YouTube Music) have lite versions. Worth a try!

Manage background stuff: Stop unneeded apps from auto-starting or running in background.

Free up RAM (short term): Phone cleaner or CCleaner can help, but it's temporary.
[General Questions and Answers] gerald206:

Team Win Recovery Project

​

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery image for Android devices that provides more features and functionality than the stock recovery. It allows users to install custom ROMs, create and restore backups, wipe data partitions, and perform other system-level tasks that are not typically available with the standard Android recovery.

Just a quickly reminder that this ONLY WORKS with the Exynos version, not with Snapdragon.

Installation:

1. Download TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE (r11s)

2. Reboot to download mode

3. Flash the TWRP with Odin to the AP slot, likewise put the patched VBMETA in the USERDATA slot. You can also use heimdall for this process.

4. Reboot to recovery with the Volume Up + Power button combination while having the data cable connected

5. Go to "Wipe" section, click "Format data" and type "yes" to confirm

6. Reboot into TWRP

7. Flash repack.zip

8. Now you can reboot and you're ready to go!

Bugs / Not working:

Decryption

Vibration

Battery level

Magisk zip flashing (atm, use the usual patching method)

If you found any other bug, don't hesitate to tell me.

Thanks to:

@physwizz for helping a lot with building the tree

@snapdragon teaks for patched vbmeta

TWRP for releasing this beauty of recovery.

OrangeFox for helping with a stock recovery restoration fix.
