Hello. My car has a fully customized multimedia device based on android 10. This device is the original device of the car itself. And it is rooted by default.

On the left of the screen, there is a customized navigation bar from com.android.systemui. I tried all the adb commands I know, disable systemui, change permissions, nothing worked.

The systemui has a whitelist. This navigation bar is hidden in apps like android auto, carplay. What do you think I should do? How do I hide it?

[Android Head-Units] muharremp:
There is also no android settings app on the device. So it is impossible to do it with the device itself
[General Topics] garethsimpsonuk:
Hi Guys n Girls,

Well I've been a member since '05 but haven't really played with WM's since the Magicians and Alpines. I've had a TyTn but didnt like it and didnt really play with it and then lost an XDA Orbit on the first night down the pub with it. I've been using an N95 lately.

I've just got myself a Polaris and it looks great! I used to love modding my other WM's but it's been a while and I was just wondering what's changed and what's new. I've had a bit of a read but just need some advice on what software to buy and what steps to take.

So here's a few questions I have:

What's the best media player?

I will listen to a lot of music and watch films while on the go. I used to use TcpMP I think. I need one that supports a lot of codecs and don't really wanna use more than one.

What's the best keyboard software?

I had SPB full screen keyboard and it was a lifesaver. Is this the best? I like the zoom fuction on the ipod keyboard.

Is SPB pocket plus still a must?

I felt this package covered bits left out by MS (such as the real 'x' close button etc.) Is it still recomended or are there other ways around things nowadays.

How do I get this touch flow stuff? It looks cool - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y78EB0rahQA

I love the way things are more fingertip oriented. I think Apple innovated this.

Is there still a program to design themes?

Or where can I get cool themes? I like the dark styles and windows 7 looks nice.

Is ROM flashing still risky?

I've got the o2 branded ROM at the moment. I used to love trying the community's ROMS but I've just started a family and I'm real skint. I bought my Polaris PAYG and really can't afford to brick it. Mind you cooking ROMs was half the fun!

The best PDF reader?

I read a lot of PDF's and remember never finding one up to standard. Ideally it will be fullscreen with no need to scroll along the lines.

What else do you guys recommend I do to get the best out of my HTC device?

I've forgotten loads and feel like a noob again and just need some advice about what you guys consider 'must have steps'. I remember things such as installing the widdicomm BT stack as the MS one is crap. I use bluetooth stereo headphones (motorola S9s) for music.

Hope you guys have some pointers for me and I'm looking forward to playing again!

I'm off to the read the Polaris Wiki

Thanks,

Gareth

p.s. Oh by the way it's great to see this community has gone from strength to strength. It really has grown! It seems to be the HQ of the WM world now. Congrats! :-)

[General Topics] darthbane2k:
The iPhone now has more and better apps, thats whats changed. WM app development hasnt progressed much at all..
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Not really true - at least not yet. (Albeit, highly possible, given that at least game development for WinMo has almost entirely ceased in the last half a year....)

It's only at some categories that iPhone is MUCH better than WinMo (with much more SW titles); the most important being games.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] Pixelzated:
I have 2 Nabi Elev-8 Tablets. However, one has a broken screen but still functions properly with stock firmware. I was able to enable adb and I can control it using a program called scrcpy. The other one is stuck at the Nabi loading screen at boot after I tried to root it. I want to try and move the screen to the other tablet, but if anyone knows how I can get a boot.img file to fix the boot problem or port TWRP to this tablet any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this, so I'm sorry if I sound a bit clueless.

Here is the one with the broken screen Here is the one that is not booting

[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] matrixebiz:
Hi Gang, I'm picking up v1 switch and all I want to be able to do is to be able to play backups of games off microSD card. There are guides at SwitchWay so for my requirements is the best option for me, is to use the Atmosphere on emuMMC way using my RCM Loader to inject that payload? Does that allow me to eject the microSD card then reboot the switch to get back to a non-modded switch to connect to Nintendo or is there more to it than that, like needing to delete the Atmosphere payload first then reboot it? There are so many videos online and gets too confusing so some guidance would be nice. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to proceed?

Today my phone installed the July 2024 update from Samsung. Things proceeded normally, and my phone is now updated to the July 2024 software version. If I try to update software, the phone says my software is up to date (One UI 6.1, Android 14, version G998USQSCGXF3 /etc , security patch level July 1, 2024).

However, after the successful update process, I get an error message about the firmware specifically, saying "Error The firmware update could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service."

The phone also tries to automatically re-apply the firmware update, but the same error occurs. So i think this firmware update is separate from the software update, or at least a separate part of the software update, to where part of the update succeeded, but part failed (corresponding to firmware).

So far, this error has persisted through multiple reboots and attempts to update. I even booted into the factory reset menu and selected the option to erase cache partition, and rebooted. But still, the phone says it will automatically try to re-apply the firmware update, and the attempt was unsuccessful.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RUHUSKER:
I'm having this exact same problem. Same phone too. I'm attaching a screen shot of the error message. Yet the phone says the update was completed successfully. I have tried to do the update again. It states that it is up to date. I also wiped the phones cache.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
My phone eventually resolved the problem itself overnight. It must have done something while I was sleeping so I have no idea what might have went on to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RUHUSKER:
Yes, My phone did the same thing after 3 auto update attempts. Thank you for responding.

Can Someone help me on this. Recently my Redmi note 10 pro max got bootlooping issue . I tried every possible way to fix it but it never fixed anything. Now last i want to change the rom so i went to edl mode and still i cant install os. Is there any way or tool that can be used to unlock bootloader without AUTHORISATION and CREDITS ? someone help
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Zxalilh:
As far as I know, there are only paid services for this types of things. It's like a closed loophole unless you have an "authorised account".
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ftgautham:
Fine then, Is it necessary to have an mi account signed in that device before doing all this stuff?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Zxalilh:
An authorised MI account is different from a normal one.

Miflash does not request a log in except for EDL mode.

I assume the bootloader is locked, if so, the EDL flash is available here (not free):

[Nothing Phone (2a)] riddhi_maheta:
Hello Team,

I am Riddhi from India and wanted to discuss one issue with you all.

Since I’ve had Nothing Phone 2a for 1.5 months, I’ve encountered one problem with the hotspot device name. Upon activating my hotspot and connecting to a connection with any device, it displays the device number (number of connected devices) but not its name. Is this behaviour expected? Or till when it got resolved ? Please let me know if you need any further clarification.

Thank you and I am looking for some interesting replies :D
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
Is there a way to downgrade or even modify whatever handles the text selection with the spen to be able to select/highlight almost any text with just pressing and holding the button on the s pen and highlighting like you could in older versions? Or at least know which app specifically handles the text selection or how exactly it worked in the old version?

I know it's probably a niche issue but it was so nice not having to worry about apps not letting you select only parts of text or not letting you easily copy text at all.

But now it's so tedious in most cases now having to open s pen menu> choose smart select> select area with text> wait for it to detect the text> pess button to copy text> exit out of smart select.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Not sure what is the cause, but the 'old method' to select text with S Pen button pressed still works for me...

(SM-S928B/DS on latest (July) firmware, no deboating)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
What apps does it work in for you? Any app you try? Because for me it only works in very few apps like Messages and Infinity (reddit 3rd party app) but doesn't even work in Firefox like it used to (which instead forces to use default android text selection which is fine).

But in pps like YouTube/Revanced and Discord and most other apps I used to be able to use it in it no longer works

I have SM-928U1 with June firmware (just got July today but haven't installed but I doubt they restored functionality with a security update)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Smart Select is something different.

If the spen is out, and you then go to whatever app is out you should be able to finger or spen highlight it. No need to push the spen button.

That's how it works on Android 10 on my N10+.

Smart select works almost everywhere.

Normal copy, cut etc works in Brave and Samsung browsers.

Don't know about this but the newer phones/OS versions have lost functionality and usability. That's one reason why I run 5 yo phones with Android 9/10...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Not correct, 'smart select' is using air command selection box, see here

No difference between N8, N10+ or later Galaxy Note or S-ultra.

What you describe is regular text selection.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] OnnoJ:
It basically works in most of my apps and even in OneUi setting menus. (Chrome, Samsung Internet, etc, even in my banking app where I can't make screenshots...)

I don't use Discord, FireFox or YouTube/Revanced
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
Just tested chrome and yeah still works there like how it does in settings and messages but different than how it works in firefox and qorks in one of my bank apps but not the other (neither block screenshots or smart select and stuff). So maybe it's also something within the other apps I use that block or override it from being able to select text. I know years ago when it worked in every app that it suddenly stopped working in Facebook Messenger after that updated.

But then I think it was either between switching from my dead Note 4 to Note 10+ that I noticed it suddenly stopped working in a lot of the apps I used. And over time I have found a few other posts mentioning the same issue but not many responses or reasoning and too lazy and anxious to make my own posts asking about it
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Smart select should work even fb.

There's been copy block on fb for as long as I used it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
The only way smart select works for me in fb messenger is going the tedious process I mentioned above of having to open the smart select option, choose area of text, wait for it to process, extract text, copy
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Fb behaves like that on my two N10+'s running on Android 9 and 10 with the older versions of One UI and spen. It's fb anti copy bs. The only time you can copy/paste is before posting or during editing a post. Fb sucks.

Smart Capture is handy because it can glean almost any text even from pictures. If it can't copy it it can pin it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
Like I said back on my note 4 the spen used to be able to copy even inside fb messenger (until that updated seperately) the issue is other apps that text highlight used to work in but now doesn't because of samsung intentionally limiting the feature.

My issue isn't with fb messenger specifically, nor that I don't know how to copy things, nor that I don't know how to use smart select.

My issue is that older versions of spen software had the functionality to do it quickly with almost any text and separately without having to use smart select, and that smart selecting text is slow and tedious.

What I'm trying to figure out is if anyone knows how the old version of the text highlight worked or if anyone has been able to like modify it to return the functionality or if there's anything similar thats easier and faster than the 5837382 step process using smart select.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Then the litmus test is will a N4 copy from fb text that's not being created or edited.

I don't think it will, however never used a N4 or mucked around with fb until the last 2 years or so. Screen shots are the only way to capture fb pictures as well, fb is a menace all way around.

Your gripe is more likely with fb not Samsung.

Most phones are far less capable. Smart Capture is one of my favorite Note tricks, it saves a lot of work that's far more tedious.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
I'm not sure if I was clear enough or not, but fb messenger was just an example of an app that used to work, then with an fb update stopped, but literally every app the highlight to select text worked. So half this conversation wasn't really about my original issue (my fault for rambling)

The main issue is that almost every app I use now I can no longer easily select text within apps because of one of the past updates to spen features. I tried just dealing with it but having to go through 5 steps to do something that used to be done in just 1 press is annoying.

Any insight on how exactly the spen was able to highlight almost anything before on a technical level or even just what app specifically is what lets it do that would even be helpful.

Because maybe a patch could be made and used with Revanced Patcher. (Idk if possible because how to make them is above my knowledge)

Like Youtube, discord, reddit/3rd parties apps for reddit, firefox, and many more all used to work on my note 4 and when i moved to the note 10+ it no longer had that ability and the only difference was newer version of oneUI and Note specific apps. All other apps were same version so it had to have been something samsung did. But my note 4 died so I cant show an example of how it used to work (rip tmobile variants having hardware defect with their storage chips causing them to die).

If you want to see that others have had the same issue here's a reddit thread from years ago eplaining the same issue

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote9/comments/g465g6

And yes many newer phones are less capable but it feels even worse when something like this is intentionally downgraded to the point where there have also been posts of people asking for this feature not knowing that it used to actually work like that as seen here

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS23/comments/119ul78
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
I can finger copy/paste or spen copy text in reddit.

Same for utube. Don't have Firefox but it works in Brave and the Samsung Browsers as well.

Try clearing the system cache.

Is it possible a 3rd party app is responsible?

Try in safe mode but it could still be a 3rd party app that has altered hidden settings, sometimes even uninstalling that app isn't enough. A factory reset would purge it.

Not sure which app controls the spen and afraid it's likely part of a large system app. If you figure that out try clearing it's cache. Clearing it's data might be more trouble than it's worth.

Make sure it's settings are correct and it has all needed permissions.

Contact worthless Samsung tech support, very occasionally they are helpful. Check the Samsung support forum as they tend to be more useful.

If it's that screwed up eventually Samsung will patch it.

Check the Galaxy Store for updates too.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
I already stated firefox overrides spen highlight and makes you use standard text select (which makes copying hyperlinked text annoying at times but im not gonna give up ublock origin and tampermonkey etc for that). Also unless something in the offical reddit app changed within the last 4 months, long press would just only let me copy entire text of post/coment but I forget if spen highlight text worked or not. The apps it still works in, great.

But the issue isn't personal tech problem that's just isolated to my phone with an spen, the issue is that there are now many apps that spen hightlight no longer works for anyone at all because Samsung limited functionality.

Also try and copy a YouTube video title, or or userneme, or just a specific phrase of a comment, only let's you copy whole thing.

Did you even read half of that or look at the links though because there would be no need to try to suggest clearing cache as a fix for a capability that was limited by samsung themself betwen the last version that was on note 4 and at the earliest i know of, the Note 9.

But I'm not a noob and already tried clearing cache on this phone, and all permissions are what they are needed to be. And this behavior was the same fresh out of the box on a clean Note 10+ back when I got that phone.

And as with the above, contacting support does literally nothing and had seen a post on samsung forums before where they replied with a "just point to the smart select info webpage."
