So, earlier on my S23 Ultra, I was able to use personal hotspot while keeping my Wifi on, this used to work really well for me as I did not need to share my wifi details with everyone who comes home thus I could just share my wifi network through my phone and it came real handy when I was using my phone by tethering it to my PC when my wireless wifi adapter was not working, this way I could use my Wi-fi network on my PC as well. Is there a way that I can get that feature back on my phone ??

I have not been active on their platform for a while, there is this one watch face that I used to rock all the time and I have all the files for it in multiple formats (gwd,tpk,wfs,apk,acc) yet I can't seem to be able to send it to my watch, I just want to be able to have it on my Gear S3, I tried using Galaxy Watch studio but it wont let me register my watch because they stopped issuing distributor licenses, and Watch Face Studio would not detect my watch, so my question is what is the best software/method to send a watch face design from my PC to my Gear S3 in 2024, thanks in advance for any help.

I'm installing Pixel Experience on Redmi Note 4 Mido, i'm following the guide from the officila site: Pixel Experience. I've installed the OrangeFox recovery, and i was trying through ADB sideload to load the zip file of pixel experience, but i got some errors (picture attached).

I've searched on internet and found this video where there are some similar errors, he format the partition, is the correct things that i should do?

Sorry if i ask but it's the first time i install a custom rom

Hello guys, at the end i've formatted the Data partition, and then followed the official guide here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NRanjan-17/Pixel-Experience-Releases/main/RETROFIT_GUIDE.md

The telephone after i install the ROM and Formatted the Data, it reboot for two times and after it enter into orangefox recovey. As written into the guide i've flashed again the ROM, but the results is always the same, the telephone reboots two times and after enter into the OrangeFox revovery.

What can i do? Has someone saw the same issue? Can you help me please?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] namanzx:
- flash orangefox once again platform tools or minimal adb & fastboot on pc.

- copy the orangefox recovery image file onto the platform tools/minimal adb & fastboot folder on your pc.

- commands needed to flash:-

1st- 'fastboot flash recovery file image location' [ drag the recovery image file into cmd/powershell after writing 'fastboot flash' and put a space between these two. ]

2nd- 'fastboot boot recovery image file location' [ it might take 10-20 seconds to boot into recovery while in fastboot mode. do not disconnect the usb cable or manually enter into recovery via power/volume buttons during this 10- 20 second time period. ]

- after you are booted into recovery > wipe > format data.

- then, wipe all the partitions except USB OTG, Internal Storage and MicroSD.

- copy the rom file to a usb drive. [ make sure it's atleast 4-6 GB in size ]

-insert it in your phone using a OTG Adapter for Micro USB port. (the charging port of mido)

- open orangefox, select USB OTG for storage > select the rom file > flash.

- GOD BE WITH YOU!

[OnePlus 12] vasra:
I really want a degoogled phone, yes even GMS removed, with MicroG doing the required duties and Aurora store for apps. All Google Telemetry and Google Account and Device IDs removed.

I know this is possible, if I unlock the device, deGoogle it thoroughly and install MicroG.

However, I'm not sure if I can still re-lock the bootloader, pass all the Integrity/root-checks and NOT brick the device.

This way I can still use all the banking/other apps requiring integrity checks.

I'd rather not Root and trick tinker with Magisk modules to try and pass Integrity checks every time there is an app or SafetyNet/Integrity update.

I just want a thoroughly degoogled phone.

I'm willing to redo this again with all major Android OS Updates (OxygenOS), as any removed Google stuff probably gets re-installed at that phase.

Has anybody tried this? Is this even possible?

I*m NOT trying to change the kernal, flash a custrom rom or root the phone. Just de-google it thoroughly and relock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
You can almost 100% this without unlocking the bootloader and without rooting.

Use a PC and use this https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation

It includes lists of apps and what their purposes are and you can remove anything your heart desires without rooting or unlocking the bootloader
[OnePlus 12] red5pade:
I've been trying to slowly do this with open source stuff. I use librephoto for photo backup but I can't do without Google maps or keyboard. There is an open source keyboard out there but it isn't quite there yet.
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
You are right about maps but I've found heliboard is an absolutely perfect replacement with extra options. As for maps there may be no way around it but what we could hope for is maybe one day someone comes up with a google maps scraper that will work without the actual google maps. Years ago there was a wrapper apk for google maps that loaded it into a browser and it worked for privacy but that hasn't worked in years
[OnePlus 12] red5pade:
I've tried a few map apps but they all sucked. I'll check out that keyboard. Thanks

Edit... That keyboard doesn't have swipe gesture. There is a keyboard called florisBoard that offers it but it's text correction needs some more work
[OnePlus 12] purple.epod:
This open source keyboard can do swipe typing if you add the right library.
[OnePlus 12] red5pade:
Well dag gone, it works. Thanks. I missed that part. Spell check seems good too. I just need to figure out how to raise the keyboard a few pixels and I'm set now. Thanks a ton
[OnePlus 12] vasra:
Thanks. This goes a long way (I knew about the earlier version). However, it doesn't allow for changing unique Device ID nor elegantly removing Google notification system (which can read ALL notification from ALL apps, and which has had holes for years).

I'd really just like to get a smartphone that does: SMS (don't even need RCS), calls, 4G LTE, podcasts, VPN, web browser, Tutanota email, Signal/Session/Telegram and my local banking apps.

AFAIK, GrapheneOS on Pixel is the only way to really get there, or a LineageOS with lots of tinkering.

Here's hoping there's an active LineageOS build for OnePlus 12 within a year or two (Sony Xperia V already has).

If anybody has any other specific tools, guides or tricks how to achieve complete de-Googling of OnePlus (along with Unique Google Device IDs), I'd love to learn more.
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
Have you considered the fairphone lineup? Its completely android without google out of the box. But its not the most powerful hardware but tons of community support.

As for the unique device ID you can only spoof changing that with root, its a hardware ID that can only be changed by changing physical parts AFAIK

Or you can use a phone that has a custom ROM scene and use one that specifically doesn't include any gapps which would solve your problem too. Oneplus has always had a good custom ROM selection but it takes time for them to developed after a phone is released. From previous threads the earliest guesses were June for ROMs to show up but with a15 being so different I'm betting they're just working on that rather than a14. And custom ROMs can do a lot without root but would still need the bootloader unlocked and remain unlocked.
[OnePlus 12] vasra:
Thanks. I've looked at Fairphone, Abovephone (GrapheneOS), but the Fairphone and Pixel series are lacking in features I need. Yes, this is a compromise, I may have to go for Sony Xperia 1 series, as they have full LineageOS and custom ROMS with relockable bootladers.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 12] raskiak:
I'm the opposite of you. I'm very dependent on GMS so I just switched from the CN version to the GLO version. I think the CN version might be more suitable for you.
[OnePlus 12] vasra:
Does the Chinese version with the ColorOS come with Google Play, all Google apps and the Google Mobile System (GMS) pre-installed?

I've cut out all google services out of my life, so I don't really need them nor do I want Google storing everything about me.

Then again, if the chinese ColorOS does the same but just of Chinese spying, I'm not sure changing to ColorOS is anything more than out of the frying pan into the fire :-D
[OnePlus 12] raskiak:
Haha, yes, ColorOS only comes pre-installed with GMS, and you need to download the rest yourself, including Google Play. There is a switch in the system settings that allows you to choose whether to turn on GMS. As for the spying purpose you mentioned, I am also worried. I live in China, so I don’t want my data to be owned by the government. I think it is a good idea to store data in politically unfriendly countries, at least my private data will not be easily handed over to my government for political reasons.
[OnePlus 12] red5pade:
Private internet access and proton are great. I recently started making a home server that I use tail scale when I'm away from home. Super simple and my data is stored on my hardware and only accessible by myself.

I feel like I'm in the early stage but as of now, my photos do not go to google photos anymore and are backed up on my HDD. My files are backed up on my home server too.

If you're wanting privacy and a lot of the features google offers like face recognition, libre photos is a great option. It doesn't save location data for where the photo was taken yet but in the works. As for file back up, I use seafile. If you're off your home WiFi, you need a VPN like tailscale so your computer thinks you're still on your home WiFi. These apps can be run in a docker container and ran on a raspberry pi but I just use a 10yo laptop and plugged a HDD into it. Also, I don't recommend windows because they are known to spy. Run a version of Linux. I'm a fan of Debian. To make things easier on yourself, do a flavor of Debian like Linux mint. If Linux is new to you, then pay attention to your sudo commands in terminal. You can mess things up easy.

Plenty of guides out there. I can't imagine the China spy system. I'm in america and in the government. Our government doesn't spy as heavy but the companies like google do. Regardless, I'll make it extremely difficult for them to get my data and actually use it. Using snowflake is an extremely powerful tool to bypass censorship.

I can go into more detail but I'm new to this data privacy thing. Soon I'll be saving my data on site and off site just in case my house burns down, I don't lose everything. Good luck
[OnePlus 12] oddlyspaced:
Question :

Do you want to achieve this on stock OxygenOS? If yes then I don't think OxygenOS or a OnePlus device is the best candidate for this. The stock OS probably has tonnes of analytics and tracking options built into it, plus any custom ROM we might get, would make use of the stock firmware libs and packages.
[OnePlus 12] vasra:
Stock is not a strict requirement, but the following are my goals:

1) Remove All Google apps, the whole GMS libraries, Google Notifications (most apps use these for notifications, and it is a known unfixed attack vector), Unique Google Device ID and all data transfer back to Google. This can be done on other devices. GrapheneOS (and variants of LineageOS with GMS+aforementioned bits removed) on Pixel works like this. It's as private and secure as you can get on Android.

2) Do all of the above with the end result of having a LOCKED bootloader, NO root installed and passing all required safety/integrity checks that most 3rd party Banking Apps need to work. I don't need Google/Samsung Pay or other "bundled wallets". But I do need my own bank's app to work. Most of these check for : Dev options. Bootloader unlock and root install at the very minimnum.

That's my basic goal.

If I wanted even more privacy I'd buy a dumb phone with a pre-paid SIM and use that only.

It is impossible to be 100% un-tracked and un-surveilled in this world, but I rather not send almost everything to Google via it's apps and via it's tracking ad-system (which is a known/documented conduit for leaking lots of your data via the apps that use the Google Ad-system within the apps).

I basically want:

- calls, SMS/MMS (no RCS needed)

- couple messaging apps (Signal, Telegram)

- Banking apps

- Email client (have a FOSS client, no need for Google)

- Web-browsers

- Podcast client

- Mapping (alternatives for Google Maps exist)

- Wifi-tethering

- Ad-blocking (AdGuard works)

- Aurora store / PureAPK / F-Droid (for some apps)

In a way that "just works" and doesn't require tons of root/magisk/modules/tinkering every day when a new app release comes, to bypass the new security checks.

I do NOT need anything by Google, or Facebook, snapchat, Instagram, Tiktok, FB Messenger, RCS, Viber, Youtube, voice assistants, AI, streaming services, Zoom/Teams/Meet, Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox, Networked calendars, Networked Contact apps, or any games.

Maybe OnePlus (12) is not the best for this? I don't know, haven't used one in ages.

I'm up for using OxygenOS or ColorOS or alt-rom (as long as the bootloader can be re-locked and root removed).
