[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
Thank you. It is indeed a somewhat common problem with Samsung system because for example, if you install a GSI, it won't happen. I will see if it has to do with encryption and if so, I will fix it! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
@whatta Hey bud, sent a fix that may work with the issue you have. Can you test it out? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Hi, yes!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Hi, how should I do that? Like do the same but before rebooting system flash the file?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Didn't work

Error 1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Hi, are there solutions? Idk why it didn't work it just says that it all ended with error1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SavveliY:
Hi , I've got a problem, when i get in recovery (after bootloader) I;m wiping the data cache and dalvik. But when i reboot into the system, it just resets to the usual one()_() Could you help me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serajr:
Hi brother. Happy to know that there is top-notch development here.

Maybe you can try asking BlackMesa123 for help on decryption stuff, see S23 twrp info ( here ):
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SavveliY:
didnt help, same error(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
Hey, got the same problem like @Lopotik, but after i have the new patched file, it still shows RQT_CLOSE. Could you help somehow?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SavveliY:
Try this file
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
Thanks trying to help but still doesnt work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Hi , you can patch the author's file(vbmeta) but it might not work. Try downloading another Android version, so it might work how it happened to me)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
Hey, alright i'll see what i can do. thanks though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
Hey again, both methods didnt work sadly, do you have any more ideas maybe?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serajr:
I don't own the device yet (bought it, though), so things might be a little different.

Patched vbmeta:

- Extract boot and vbmeta from firmware's AP file

- Pack them as a new tar file (7zip)

- Patch the new tar file with latest Magisk Manager (patch file option)

If you want Magisk root, flash patched tar file (contains boot and vbmeta) with Odin (userdata slot)

If you want patched vbmeta only, remove boot from magisk patched tar file, and flash it with Odin (userdata slot)

Stock recovery restoration disabler:

I can share the zip I created (and actually use) for my S20+ (working flawlessly)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
Hey, can you test the new repack? Uploaded the correct one, I forgot to remove one thing xD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
Hey, uploaded the correct repack, forgot to change a line. Can you check it out?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
Awesome, I'll contact him :), thank you a lot!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serajr:
You're welcome, bro!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Gonna try it rn
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
Thanks, it worked. But I'm gonna check if it doesn't restore to stock recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whattasigma:
So it worked, but I can't even install magisk, and all files are covered. When I try to install magisk it says that all ended with error 1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
Gonna fix it then. For the moment patch using the Magisk app, don't use the zip. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
Thanks for replying, sorry to bother but it says no boot image found when i try to patch it in magisk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serajr:
The tar for patching must contain the two files I mentioned (boot.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4), otherwise Magisk Manager won't do the job.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
The tar does contain these two files, still doesnt work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
You need to extract them, they're still compressed in lz4.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paqxls1:
ah, alright thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serajr:
So patch the AP file (push it to internal memory or sdcard and patch it with Magisk Manager)!

No need to decompress, Magisk Manager does the job (at least on my S20+lz4 files), you can even patch the entire AP file in it (try it out)! You'll have patched vbmeta and root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Auraknighted:
oh, i thought you needed to uncompress them, my bad jsjs

pretty strange that magisk is giving him that error tho
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Riddixo:
First of all try all possible methods or official methods before trying this one . Here is the quick guide about how you can unlock your Redmi note 6 pro mi cloud .

1 ) try unlocking with " forget mi password"

2 ) try to wipe you data and restart your device

3) contact support team

4) Chip Flash .

.

4) Chip Flash

You see Redmi devices comes with a QC Snapdragon Processors . With allows you to flash a new stock ROM if you phone is bricked but since your device is locked with mi cloud flashing stock ROM also installs mi cloud and Find devices to your phone so you phone will be locked as always.

What you need is a patched version of Stock ROM . ( I can't provide that btw ) .

Let's suppose you got your patched ROM now follow these steps :

Open you phones back panel . Remove the Edl point cover or battery connector whatever it is called after that you'll need two SIM slot openers . ( Only use if you don't have metal tweeker ,) After that plug the charger in but don't connect to pc yet . Install QC post 9008 driver in your pc . Open device manager and press and hold EDL points in you device and plug in the cable in your pc . You'll see QC 9008 post driver activate under usb and port section this means you device is in EDL mode . Now open MiFlashUnlock tool and first flash the ROM only without patch . After that repeat the same process plug out the usb cable . And first Press Edl point and remove wait for few seconds . Then press and hold EDL test points then again plug in the cable in pc . It'll again detect 9008 driver . After that flash the patch file . Make sure to flash in " erase all section" and refresh before you flash your device. After that boot your device and enjoy your setup.

Cons :

You'll not able to unlock bootloader using official methods since this don't have mi cloud you can't add your mi account in server .

You can't on Find my device and contact and call synced as well as you'll receive call and msges but Redmi will not recognize you sim card . You can use you sim in normal ways

.

You have to do force bootloader unlock to install custom roms in your device .

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] phidias81:
Are there any Apps to disable (not uninstall) hidden packages from the phone (no root and no pc available for some weeks) and that is free?

Edit: more details
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] J.Michael:
I don't think it is possible for an ordinary app to disable system packages.

If you are already rooted with Magisk, you might be able to make a Magisk module that obscures the system app from view. You could do this with just the phone, but if it turns out that the phone won't run without the app, you'll be in a bind trying to correct the problem. If you have a TWRP with a file manager, you will be able to alter the module to re-enable the critical app -- provided you know which one it is. Or you can disable the module entirely.

Why do you want to disable system apps?

Do you know how to disable system apps when you have a PC available?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] phidias81:
Maybe I've used the word System improperly. I meant the bloatware as in this thread, where there are some paid apps suggested. My phone is not rooted, I've recently bought it second hand

S20 series standby battery /disable bloatware HOW TO

Dear All, During the past 10yrs at least I was /am a Samsung fan but not only. I was using Galaxy phones from S4 up until now to S20Ultra. But also Oneplus devices and iPhones. During this time I was able to see and maybe understand what is...

xdaforums.com
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] J.Michael:
I assume if you could uninstall an app, you would have.

Some apps are in a system directory. I think that qualifies them to be called "system apps". You're not allowed to uninstall them. I thought you were usually allowed to disable them.

I read the thread you cited, and a page of the "de-bloat scripts" thread cited by it. My impression is that it doesn't accomplish anything, and it might interfere with functions you care about.

If you want to try it, and you don't want to wait until you have a PC available, and you're not satisfied with going to App Info and either uninstalling or disabling, then the "pm" command mentioned sounds like a good thing to try.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] phidias81:
Thank you for answering, but it doesn't help much. Yes I want to try, otherwise I wouldn't post. And no, disable is grayed out for many instances and several processes and completely hidden, that's why I'm asking for suggestions on an external app
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] J.Michael:
When "Disable" is grayed out, I think it means somebody went to extra trouble to stop you from disabling. I don't see how any non-privileged app could counter that.

I read the thread you cited. It did not leave me believing that any of the suggestions were reliable.

I don't think you should buy any of the named apps.

I don't know anything about your technical expertise, whether you routinely build apps and are only looking to download one because you currently do not have access to your PC.

You still haven't explained what you hope to accomplish. I don't think it's worth this much effort to try to reclaim some disk space. I don't think you can count on improving your battery life.

Have you tried the package manager ("pm") command to see if it works as described? If it works we can talk about writing a script to disable a large set of apps.

[Google Pixel 6a] illfrozn:
Hello,

I downloaded and installed Android 15 Beta 3 yesterday and my 6a has now soft-bricked, it appears. When I boot the phone up, the Google animation plays and then, it goes to the G animation, but never moves beyond that. Things I've tried that failed using ADB in Recovery Mode:

Sideloading OTA, which fails with a status 1 error. I'm not sure what that means.

Sideloading prior OTA, which fails with a message about not being able to downgrade.

Connecting the phone to Pixel Repair site didn't work. Chrome showed my 6a as paired, but the site wouldn't connect to the device.

My bootloader is locked, so it appears that I don't have many options right now. I need the files I have on this phone, otherwise, I would do a factory reset. Any thoughts/ideas? Appreciate any help.

Also, how can i set up sounds for when i switch my HD on and off? Custom sounds...

thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] thechefcooks:
this might be due to the light sensor on the right side of the (top front side) speaker, try http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-lumos.html

[Touch HD General] thechefcooks:
your msg does not help rafter_01 in any way, you might consider providing a solution for his problem
[Touch HD General] BlackMonkey:
This must be the light sensor. You can switch off the sensor:

1. tap on the battery symbol.

2. In the neu screen tap again on the battery symbol

3. go to the second tab and switch it off

Try Schap´s Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3. There are some options for that (check the "HTC Animation" tab).
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
how about just going into settings\power and switching autoadjust backlight off?
[Touch HD General] drbf:

I have the same problem with my HD....is not the problem with the light sensor because is already turned off, sometimes after reboot the brightness dims.

Hi all,

I own a BYD Han which has a 1080P 15" display, the display itself is crisp but Carplay renders using high DPI which makes everything look extra large.

While digging through the Carplay APK, I found that there is a hidden preferences screen that would allow me to set the screen height, width, and DPI. Is there anyway for me to trigger this preferences screen without rooting?

I tried to modify the default values and install the APK but that failed to install, would appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks in advance.

How to fix: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.AssetManager android.content.res.Resources.getAssets()' on a null object reference

Hello, I have installed Rising OS GSI QPR2, 3.2 version. and uh, When I first installed it, the AOSP keyboard did not work and gave this error, I brushed it off as it might be incompatible with my device, Used ADB and Scrcpy, to do the initial setup and downloaded Gboard. Now After I set up the whole phone, I decided to systemize Google so that I could use Google Assistant fully. BUT, After I systemized Google, It kept crashing;

LOGS: https://paste.crdroid.net/0b1Rff

Then I became suspicious of it, Then I systemized 3 more google apps, "Clock", "Gboard", "Keep Notes", and "Play Games", In which Keep Notes and Play Games worked absolutely fine being a System App, But supposedly Clock and Gboard were crashing. Then I systemized Camera and Recorder, both worked fine as well.

Then I tried to make connections, Some Google Apps works... some not. Some AOSP worked some did not. They are all pointing to a Null Pointer, Which I dont know what it is.

Then I just thought I will set it up later, and downloaded BCR Module for Magisk. It has a BCR app which records call. (Basic Call Recorder)

It also added BCR App as System App, and.... IT ALSO CRASHED!!!! WITH THE SAME ERROR!

Logs: https://paste.crdroid.net/SJTPaS

Now I don't know what is the problem of my device with the System Apps. Could anyone please help me with this stupid issue?

Thanks. I appreciate even the tiniest help. I am waiting for somebody to help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwilliams21:
Hello,

It seems like you're encountering a persistent issue with some system apps crashing due to a java.lang.NullPointerException. This error indicates that your application is trying to invoke a method on an object reference that is null. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Check for Corrupted Installation:

Ensure that the installation of Rising OS GSI QPR2, 3.2 version is not corrupted. Sometimes, a bad install can cause various issues. Re-flash the GSI to rule this out.

Verify Compatibility:

Verify that the GSI version is fully compatible with your device. Some devices might have quirks that are not fully supported by a generic system image.

Review Logs:

Review the logs you posted for more details on the exact line causing the NullPointerException. This can give you insight into which part of the code is failing.

Logs: https://paste.crdroid.net/0b1Rff

Logs: https://paste.crdroid.net/SJTPaS

Check for Dependencies:

Some system apps might rely on specific services or libraries that are not present or not properly initialized in the system image. Ensure all dependencies for these apps are correctly installed and initialized.

Permissions and SELinux Policies:

Ensure that the system apps have the necessary permissions. Sometimes, SELinux policies can prevent apps from accessing certain resources, leading to crashes.

You can try switching SELinux to permissive mode to see if the problem persists. Note that this is not recommended for long-term use due to security reasons:

bash

Copy code

setenforce 0

Systemize Correctly:

When converting user apps to system apps, ensure that the process is done correctly. Missteps in this process can cause apps to malfunction. You might want to use tools like App Systemizer to help with this.

Reboot and Cache Clear:

After making changes to system apps, always reboot your device. Additionally, clear the cache of the apps you are having issues with:

adb shell pm clear com.package.name

Investigate Specific Apps:

Since some apps work and others do not, investigate the specific differences between these apps. Look into their dependencies and any special initialization they might require.

Alternative GSI:

If the problem persists, consider trying an alternative GSI to see if the issue is specific to the Rising OS GSI version you are using.

Community Help:

Engage with the community for the specific GSI you are using. Often, others might have faced similar issues and found solutions or workarounds.

Example code snippet for checking if Resources is null:

Resources res = getResources();
if (res != null) {
AssetManager assetManager = res.getAssets();
// Continue with your logic
} else {
// Handle the null case appropriately
}

If these steps do not resolve the issue, providing more detailed log information and specific error messages can help in further diagnosing the problem.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,

Mark Williams

[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Hello. I have a caveat with my phone's SD card and in the notification shade. the notification says:

Samsung SD card missing

Tap to insert

Tapping it however does mount the card, and it works.

But what I need fixed is the card not mounting automatically after boot.

I want it mounted automatically after boot, so it's not as a hassle.

Any help? Support is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
In some cases, the issue might be specific to the SD card itself. Try using a different SD card and see if the automatic mounting works with that one.

What you additionaly can try: Enable Media Storage in Developer Options (if available)
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Nothing in Developer options is related to that setting. Even the auto-mounting function does not exist in Settings.

I also edited your word because I don't like misspelled words.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Great! At least someone who values correctness!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Typically Android automatically mounts external SD cards when inserted. This is the default behavior for most Android devices.

Of course editing Android's system file named /etc/fstab is a common way to configure forced automatic mounting of external storage. This requires Android is rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
But can this brick a phone? I am staying clear of bricking my device again, because my iPad is dead.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
If you make incorrect changes to file /etc/fstab , this of course can lead to problems during boot or mounting of filesystems.

[Android TV General] xXx yYy:
Fastboot and Recovery are totally different things. :)

AFAIK there isn't a universal way to enter fastboot or recovery mode on Samsung TVs, and unlike phones, there's typically no visual interface for these modes on TVs.

If you have the user manual for your Samsung TV, it might have information on how to access specific system functions or view diagnostic details.

That sansui not samsung also I meant to get fastboot or recovery mode I thought that if someone has way to boot into fastboot or recovery mode I know that fastboot and recovery are different but atleast I wanted to enter 1 mode atleast I wanted to enter fastboot and I wanted to enter recovery mode too on my tv
