But the question is will you lose the mobile data signal?

As i read that if you make updates you will lose data signal
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] banboune:
Not on colorOS. It's an OxygenOS problem.
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] Anis2331:
Will you lose data or Google services installed?
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] banboune:
Not if you use "local update", this will only update the firmware as normal update and keep your data and apps. But if you do a Factory reset you'll loose all google apps.
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] 3llam07:
Mine is a hybrid what should I do 2 get the updates and what does it effects does google play runs ??

I don't have the mobile yet one of my colleague's abroad got it 2 me
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] PriPhaze:
It doesn't affect Google play services but you won't get updates.

In my opinion it's better to restore back to colorOS and then debloat the device and remove unwanted Chinese apps.

But the downside is that when using colorOS I wasn't getting all my notifications and that was annoying.

I ended up using PixelOS instead which works really good although screen off gestures still doesn't work and I have to run the device with the bootloader unlocked.
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] 3llam07:
Do you know a tutorial or anything to make the pixel os and which one precisely.
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] PriPhaze:
All the instructions you need are in the first post of the PixelOS , and as an advice, make sure to read and re read everything carefully before attempting to do any modification to your device such as having to backup your ocdt.img first and so on.

Hi guys,

I managed to backup my xiaomi note 10 pro using Chimera Tool and i saved the backup on hard drive.

Among the backup files is userdata.img (see image attached).

I tried opening the image file with various tools inc. 7zip Peazip and AccessData FTK Imager but i cant access the content eg. photos and videos. All i get are random files.

Any advice how i can convert it to a readable format.

Thanks in advance,

[General Questions and Answers] Hendrix7:
According to Android Police, the first stock Android to support exFAT is Android 13 (source). I remember that Samsung supported exFAT since at least 2013, in the Android 4 era.

Older non-Samsung phones are stuck with FAT32 for external storage. As you might have guessed, the reason this is a problem is the 4 GB file size limit.

MTP (USB connection to PC) is useless for creating a full backup of the internal user storage due to its slow processing of large directories, which often crashes. Most ZIP file utilities for Android don't support ZIP64 for a total limit of over 4 GB, so my idea is to run tar -c -v -f /storage/9016-4EF8/backup.tar /storage/emulated/0 to dump the entire user storage onto the memory card.

Luckily, the TAR file format has no total size limit I am aware of. There is however a problem: the process will quickly run against the 4 GB limit of FAT32, and Android TAR lacks support for splitting.

To overcome the limit, the only two possibilities are creating the TAR inside the internal storage or by somehow installing exFAT support. The former way is problematic due to requiring less than 50% of the internal storage to be in use, and adds lots of wear to the storage chip.

Is there any way exFAT support can be installed on old Android versions?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Are you sure that you don't have exfat?

$ cat /proc/filesystems
nodev (blah, blah)
...
ext3
ext4
vfat
msdos
fuseblk
f2fs
exfat
...

You could also format a flash drive with ext2-4
[General Questions and Answers] Hendrix7:
I didn't know this existed. Interesting! Thanks.

On stock Android 7, it doesn't contain exfat. But on Samsung Android 6, it does. Samsung included exFAT well before stock Android.

I tried an ext4 flash drive but it was not recognized.

Hi there!

I have a TCL 50P715, and the OS is very slow and unreliable, not to mention the home, keeps auto-updating with more ads each time, which is really annoying.

I was wondering if it's possible to downgrade the OS to a lower version, maybe V9. I'm open to testing multiple versions to see which one works best -- not sure if that's possible. I only found two firmwares in their official website (V634 and V662), which I'm not entirely sure if it's useful or not.

Also, can I run a lower Android version on the latest firmware, or do I need to downgrade the firmware as well? I'm still a little confused about the differences between them: Android Version, TV OS Version, and Firmware Version.

DEVICE INFO:

Model: 50P715

Android TV OS Version: 11

Android TV Model: BeyondTV2

Client Type: TCL-LA-RT2851-S1

TV+ OS Version: V5.2.0 (V8-2208100-MF1V520)

- Debloat

- Block Auto-Updates -- if possible

If anyone could give me some pointers, that would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] Slow in the head:
There is a setting located at this path: 'Settings > Home screen & Lock screen > Swipe down on Home screen' it shows a drop-down list of supported values.

This list usually consist of 2 values: 'Global Search' (usually it is default value) and 'Notification drawer'.

I would like to automate setup/configuration of my (rooted) phone via scripts invoking adb.

I know I could write a script that relies on UI (opens Settings, opens necessary menus, selects the necessary menu item, taps it, chooses value #2 and then closes settings), but this proved to be a very error-prone approach.

There got to be a better way to configure those settings.

Usually, important settings can be set via adb shell settings put ${namespace} ${setting} ${value}, but I've stumbled upon multiple different settings not being stored in the database that is being used behind this adb shell settings ... interface.

But those options got to be saved somewhere!

Where are they stored?

How to optimally manipulate adb to set the desired values for those settings?
[General Questions and Answers] mohnabil:
Hello,

This weird icon in the attached pictures that looks like a camera suddenly appears for some seconds while I'm chatting on WhatsApp and then disappears when I press on it or when I move between apps and get back to WhatsApp or when I try share a screenshot of it on the same conversation. In other words, it almost disappears the moment I touch my andriod phone.

I used to see this icon on my couple Samsung mobile phones. I formatted my devices many times but it always shows up.

I travelled to another country, got a new Motorola phone and inserted a NEW sim card that belongs to this new country (which means different network) and I used a new number (generated by some apps on Play Store like Text me, Numero and Talkatone texting and calling) for my WhatsApp that is different to the one on the new sim card number, BUT I still see this icon from while to while.

Please note that other people I'm chatting with DON'T see it AT ALL when it shows up to me. I ask them while we're chatting if they can see it but they always say no.

Last time, I kept chatting/writing on WhatsApp in the same conversation and the icon is still there and it didn't disappear, so I asked my friend to take a screenshot of our chat, but it never showed up on his screen, and the moment I shared my screenshot with him it disappeared on my screen.

I asked many people if they had seen it before and all said no.

So, since it looks like a camera, and since I'm the only one in the conversation who can see it and since none of whom I know had seen it before and since I had reported a gang/Mafia network to the authorities in the first country I used to stay in, and since it appears for some seconds and then disappears, I assumed that this icon means that my phone is hacked and the chat is being watched by other parties.

So the question is: Am I correct about being hacked? Had anyone see this icon in the attached pictures before?

Thanks for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK a reason why you might see a temporary "camera icon" appear and disappear in a WhatsApp conversation is that when someone sends you a photo or video on WhatsApp the "camera icon" you're seeing links to a thumbnail preview what might appear briefly before disappearing.
[General Questions and Answers] mohnabil:
Thanks, but have you ever seen this icon before?

if your answer is no, like all people I asked, then why I'm the only one who can see it? Why no one ever experienced it before?

Besides, it appeared many times while just I we were just typing and there was no media sharing whatsoever.

Sometimes, I think it's a malfunction\bug of the spying app which the hacker is using and it shouldn't appear to the victim so he wouldn't know that is being hacked.

thanks again
[Lenovo Legion Y700] redvelociraptor:
I hadn't read through enough threads on Xda and wound up flashing Global .240 onto my Y700 that had already been updated to CN .774 by the previous owner. And of course it wouldn't boot after doing so.

After some trials I reflashed and downgraded to CN .677 using the full steps from 4pda.to which laid out how to switch the country code with a hex editor and then flash with QFIL. I had to combine the steps with a hint about selecting all the files from Joncka. I found the 4pda.to links in one of the big threads.

Later, I was also able to flash the NEC JP .022 ROM from lolinet. I worked out how to switch to English, then flashed Yurical's Paranoid Android Uvite, which seems to work fine.

Does anyone know of a GSI that's using MicroG with no Gapps installed? Seems Uvite is the only GSI targeting 2023, the others are built for the 2022 version. If no one knows of any I may try my hand at tablet_seeker's build system for GSIs.

The tablet is going to be used exclusively for game emulation, light browser use related to gaming, and maybe local media playback, so my plan is to just side load everything except (possibly) a few paid emulators.

Thanks for any pointers.

I'm glad Xda is thriving. Last time I did any ROM flashing was back in the Nexus 10 tablet days.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sean.trinidade:
The GSI is generic and can run on both 2022 and 2023 versions. It's only model specific roms that you need to be careful about.

I was previously using Ponce's asop build on my 2023 until i switched to the global rom, and minus a few missing features, worked perfectly.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] redvelociraptor:
Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, all three ASOP's I tried resulted in reboot loops. So I gave up and I switched to the Global ROM 240 (had to hex edit region in vendor_a), then scorched earth gapps and used Magisk to install NanoDroid.

It's not perfect, touch screen to get into background apps doesn't always work in landscape mode but does when switched to vertical. Touch response seems a bit laggy at times, too. WiFi is slow, but I believe that's a known issue due to my router having a unified SSID for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz, I can easily fix it at the router. Still need to test bluetooth for controller connection.

NanoDroid rolls in a bunch of FOSS as system apps I don't use. Eventually I'd like to to work out how to rebuild it to include the apks I use instead. I'll save that for after I get all my emulation configurations sorted out and take a full backup, though.

Hello again, gentlemen

After having to reset my phone after it went into a bootloop, i am not able to open ai subtitles and i get that error, even though i am signed up for beta testing and was working before. Any workaround for it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sovrce:
I'm hoping I can write this off entirely as an Opera Mobile bug/glitch, because *IF* I remember correctly this only happens with Opera Mobile open. But here's the issue:

Last night I was going between Opera Mobile, texting and finally, a 2.5 hour call. Needless to say, running on ~30% battery, it died. So I plugged it in and let it charge. Over the course of the next 1-2 hours I moved the phone and the charger all over the house. I went to bed but I wanted to check a couple forums first so I fired up Opera Mobile and started browsing. Well about 15 minutes later I wanted to check something from an earlier text so I pressed the 'Home' key and... nothing. All good, I thought, because this has happened a few different times where all I had to do was press 'Home' again and it went back to the main TF3D screen. So I pressed 'Home' again. Nothing. Again, nothing. So I tried the 'End' key, still nothing. It was at this point I took the phone off the charger and noticed that the white ring was still lit up and pulsing - like it does when it's charging. It wasn't completely frozen, the touch screen was still working. So I brought up the start menu and hit 'Today'. I then slid the keyboard out and it changed orientation fine. I hit 'Messages' and it lagged up so bad that when I clicked one of the conversations the loading icon appeared but was just still. I let it take it's time and eventually made it back to the 'Home' tab of TF3D. The last thing I did was to check how much memory (RAM) was being used and what was running. Oddly enough, I had 103 but not a single program was running. The thing is, I never closed Opera Mobile and when I went over to the 'Internet' tab and tried to launch Opera Mobile from there, it showed the green "selected" background but did NOTHING.

Any ideas on this? Like I said, this has ONLY happened when using Opera Mobile (if I remember correctly). Something else I should add... Yesterday I changed a couple settings in 'Advanced Config', light sensor, End key delay and G-Sensor polling rates. Do you think that having too high or low a light sensor threshold could mess with things laying in the dark? I'm going nuts with worry this morning and I want to make sure that it's not a phone/hardware issue.

Anyone have any stab in the dark as to what this could be?? I installed those ATI drivers and didn't like them and problems they caused so I went back to the backup key I had saved. Does this help or have anything to do with my situation?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sovrce:
Bump.

Quick update: I've been using Opera Mobile off and on today and no problems. Could it have been battery issues plus an OM bug? Or is that technically impossible?

Hi Everyone,

Just want to highlight that my experience with HyperOS global version is amazing, especially with signal and connectivity, finally was able to get VoLTE and VoWIFI on my carrier (Telstra in Australia), bugs are very minimum, improved battery, and improved speed, improved camera power (camera shutter is really way better now as example), some very nice settings modifications, improved bluetooth connectivity to my bose earbuds. Cast functions are really nice, notifications are really nice, notch usage for notifications and for charging notifications while device in use is really nice.

The general interface is very similar to Miui, and the rear display bug still there. no other bugs i was able to find.

Very nice update,

just to clarify, the version i am using is 1.0.2.0.UKAMIXM as i am a pilot tester and i am getting updates ahead of others.
