Anyone can overlook the obvious. It make your quest a lot easier if you missed a buried setting or whatever.

Updates can toggle user/permission settings and Samsung apps can puke on you if they lose permissions they shouldn't even need. I actually did have a female Samsung tech support agent in the Philippines remind of an obvious permissions mistake I made with Wearables. She was correct. Before you check me, check yourself.

I'm no expert but you almost never see me asking for help here. I simply play with it until I fix it, sometimes with a bunch of Gookill searches. Sometimes it takes a while.

So you found a menace on your Android...

This is exactly why I avoid updating anything especially firmware. Nothing they added is worth breaking what I already got.

If you can't roll the software/firmware back, you'll need to find a solution or work around.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
If anyone knows which app exactly is responsible for the spen highlighting any text in certain apps or maybe how it overrides built in android text select, please let me know.

Modyifying apps or making patches is above my knowledge but like if I knew what app handled it then maybe could try to like disable current version with adb and like clone and install an old version along side it?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Try this...

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CorynMidori:
I disabled air command with adbappcontrol and even restarted but was still able to use s pen to select and highlight text so it seems that its not air command that is handling that functionality. I'm looking at other system apps but not sure what other one would handle it (and I'm afraid of messing something up or else I'd just randomly disable system apps that might relate to it).
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Try chasing these down using Package Manager. Check settings and permissions. See if you can go back to the factory load version. There may be more system apps these are dependancies of too. A rabbit hole.

I adapted Thermal Throttling modifier by @JohnTheFarm3r for Android 14, since there are some differences in the thermal config on Android 14.

This post, as well a few others, have been moved to this new thread by mods.

Original post below:

@JohnTheFarm3r The thermal config seems to have changed in Android 14. I made a diff between the file from Android 13 and Android 14, taken from crDroid's GitHub device repo for cheetah.

Untitled diff - Diffchecker

{ "Sensors":[ { "Name":"battery", "Type":"BATTERY",

www.diffchecker.com

The module may need updating due to this.

EDIT: I tried applying your thermal changes to the Android 14 thermal config file, while setting the thermal limit at 46.5 °C. It seems to work for the most part, but the device still throttles while charging as well when connected to 5G. I don't want to increase the thermal limit further for myself at least.

I have attached the module adapted for Android 14.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
I made another version of this for myself, based on Android 14 thermal config.

The threshold is further reduced from 46.5°C by 2 levels. Throttling is now at 43°C for the most part, while it is at 41°C for Virtual-SKIN-CPU and Virtual-SKIN-CHARGE. These are default values at those levels on Android 14.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Rana260492:
Alright
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
Upon further testing and usage, I decided to modify some stock thermal throttling values, and the same are now set at 43°C across the board. Based on Android 14 thermal config, like other versions in this thread.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] nickds:
Dear all,

I have read that a new CN ZUI 16 image is released, and that it is good to use with the English language.

I have a CN Y700 2023 that I got from AliExpress with genuine CN firmware. I used RSA to flash NEC firmware over the top of it and have not used any other tools or unlocked the device.

I would like to know, what is the easiest method for me to go from the NEC firmware to the new CN ZUI 16. Is this possible with RSA?

When I try to find the CN ZUI 16 in RSA, it only shows me the global release of Y700 as Legion Tablet 2nd Gen, or the NEC device - I am in the UK.

As a note: When I first got the table I did try to flash the Legion Tablet ROW firmware onto the device, but it would not boot, then I flashed the NEC and it worked.

Many thanks for any guidance.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] hitin911:
Rsa is for global devices, therefore it contains global and NEC ROM only.

You may flash a new zui 16 china rom manually by yourself.

There is two ways.

1. First restore original china rom, 15.0.774 or 15.0.795, which you have before nec one. Then ota update to latest zui 16 with china vpn, or manually by download ota.zip and update though three dots menu in ota update system application.

2. You may flash zui 16.0.336 Chinese directly from unofficial dump rom image.

All variants links and guides see in special zui 16 cn thread. And unbrick guide thread in xda. The main idea - run RSA as usual, and replace all the files in it download folder with a china ROM files instead of global files.

[General Questions and Answers] LeadTubby:
I have a Vucatimes Vucapad N20 tablet that was released in 2021 and the company appears to no longer be in business so updates are no longer possible, if they ever were to begin with. The tablet came with a largely bare version of Android 10, has 3 GB RAM, a UNISOC SC9863 CPU and I've set the bootloader to unlocked. Specs aren't great but I'd like to use the tablet for watching videos and streaming content, but have concerns about the tablet "phoning home" and uploading various data to unknown destinations.

Is there a way to identify and remove any unecessary apps or files? Get more detailed specs about the hardware to see if it is a clone of an existing LineageOS supported tablet?
[General Questions and Answers] gqqnbig:
Can you connect it to your PC and run adb to collect some system information?

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Many legitimate Android apps "phone home" to function properly. Here are some common categories of apps and why they might connect to the internet:

Social Media and Communication:

These apps (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.) connect to their servers to display your feed, send messages, or allow video calls.

Email and Calendar:

Apps like Gmail or Outlook need to connect to their respective servers to send, receive, and synchronize emails and calendar events.

Banking and Finance:

Banking apps connect to secure servers for account management, transactions, and fraud prevention.

News and Weather:

News apps connect to fetch the latest headlines, while weather apps connect to weather services for forecasts.

Navigation and Maps:

Google Maps and similar apps connect to download map data, provide real-time traffic information, and offer turn-by-turn navigation.

Shopping and Retail:

These apps connect to display product information, process purchases, and handle online shopping functionalities.

Streaming Services:

Netflix, Spotify, and others connect to stream content, manage subscriptions, and personalize recommendations.

While these connections are normal, it's important to be aware of what data is being sent and to whom. Here are some tips:

Check App Permissions:

During installation, most apps ask for permission to access the internet. Carefully review these permissions before installing.

Read App Reviews and Descriptions:

Reviews and descriptions can sometimes reveal how an app collects and uses data.

Use Reputable Apps:

Download apps from the official Google Play Store whenever possible. Play Store has some security measures in place to weed out malicious apps.

Consider Privacy-Focused Alternatives:

There might be alternative apps with a stronger focus on privacy. Look for apps that minimize data collection and limit internet connectivity.

View attachment 6124474	Remember, you can also manage app permissions within the Android settings menu. This allows you to see which apps have access to the internet and potentially restrict their access if you're uncomfortable with their data practices. Alternately you may use

Permission Manager X​

app to do so.

[General Questions and Answers] Buzz_Litebeer:
I have some questions about coding specifically, this seems like something to put in the development forum, but its rules seem to specify that it is not.

I am making some GPS applications currently for my phone and would like to have some tips on being "friendly" with other GPS programs.

I have created a program that does GPS tracking and records coordinates and speed while driving. When I run this at the same time as Google Maps, it loses the ability to query the GPS device intermittently. What I would like is to be able to see if the GPS device itself is available. Currently I am using the GPS library provided by the Microsoft Sample with some edits (it was doing some unfortunate thread locking that it had no right to know about for a class library).

My hope is that my GPS app can recognize that another program is using it, OR it can recognize that the GPS device has been disabled by another program and turn it back on. Currently the sample library is either Open or Closed but does not actually seem to query the device to get these device states back.

Does anyone have some good example code for this? I intend to keep coding it, but right now it seems I will have to ignore other software on the phone that might be using it until I can get some help on this.

[CLOSED] Unbrick your phone with EDL mode (no access to fastboot)

Hello guys Today I'm going to tell you about how to bring your phone back to life when it is bricked and also you don't have access to fastboot. few days ago when I wanted to turn back to Xiaomi EU weekly ROM from HOS, the fastboot script...

xdaforums.com

Use the software in the link to fix your phone. First go to its website to find a list of authorized resellers who sell its tokens. Contact one of them and buy a few tokens. Then follow the steps mentioned in the post. You dont have to open the phone to put in edl mode because that is not required for mediatek processors. Also how did you hard brick it?
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] glorifiedtoast3:
MTK phones don't have edl, they have BROM and Preloader.

He has 2 choices, he either goes to Xiaomi service center, or purchases a token and uses that Professional Tool from your tutorial.

Both are paid and there's currently no way to fix it for free, since mt6897 uses V6 protocol, and there's no free auth bypass for it.

Either way, the main question is, how did he hardbrick his phone?
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] MARO_102:
@MARO_ROOT
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] IsHacker:
This is a common problem with POCO phones. You have to take it to a service center and reball the CPU. Even after reballing there is still a chance that it won't be fixed. I would recommend buying a new phone from another brand instead.
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] glorifiedtoast3:
I don't think there's any need to reball anything. The OP must've done something bad to his phone, either way, he should go to a service center.

This is a common problem with the X3 NFC/Pro. Unlike these phones, which were designed by POCO and had no Xiaomi/Redmi counterparts,

X6 Pro is a rebadged Redmi K70E (The only difference is software, battery size and charging speed) and so far I have not seen any complaints about both, other than some sore losers claiming that the X6 Pro explodes too, when there are clear knife marks on either the battery, or the case.

[Android Head-Units] Sugam13638:
I bought an old honda and the owner gave me a box of headunit that he said he never got around to installing. So I tried installing that and everything else works except for the airplay. I scoured and tried everything except for flashing the entire OEM which could prove problematic as the headunit also controls my AC module. The list of application shows my Zlink as installed but there is no app on the launcher.

List of things I tried.

1) Straight installing Zlink apk from google. Same issue, not being visible.

2) Tried downloading two different versions in tar.gz format and installed them via the system "Android updates". Still no avail

3) Downloaded Zlink app from this reddit thread. When the app is installed, it does give me an option to open Zlink but after that, the carplay connection is still not established. Also, after the car goes off and on, the app is gone again.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. Even the cable doesn't work.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Hi,

Since these are not MTCD devices, I have requested a moderator move to the Android head units forum.

Try to identify your device first by searching the forums with a search based on MCU version.

That way you might find the right information you need.
