[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planeboy:
Hello. I tried modifying the boot animation on this custom ROM and in /system/media, there were two zip files. Those were:

bootanimation.zip

and bootanimation-dark.zip

Yes, there was a dark version of the boot animation. I tried changing the name to bootanimation.zip but it kept resetting itself to its default names. How do I switch the boot animation to the dark one? Because my phone is black and grey, so I thought it would fit better with the boot screen being dark. But as of now, it keeps resetting the folder back to default. Any help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrots_:
Are there no settings to change the boot animation?

You could try deleting the original bootanimation.zip, then renaming the dark one to bootanimation.zip and see if it changes anything, but you should probably make a backup before you do that just incase.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planeboy:
There are no settings for the boot animation. I tried changing it, but every time I exit the folder, it resets.

I did dump the boot animation onto a Windows machine so I'd try that.

Renaming the file conflicts with another version of the file.

Who is spamming my posts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planeboy:
I tried deleting the other boot animation but same thing. It simply refuses to load the dark boot animation.

what if i disable OEM unlocking in developer settings on rooted devices did i can reboot phone normally? and can toggle that switch all i want or not ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXx yYy:
You can typically toggle the OEM unlocking switch on a rooted device without causing issues: Disabling OEM unlocking in developer settings on a rooted device generally won't prevent your phone from rebooting normally.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowwyXD:
So, after I toggle , I can reboot the device normally without causing boot loop and red state or losing data problem, right?

Hey I'd like to get some accessories for my Pixel 8a. I'm looking for a good screen protector, case/skin or anything that'll be useful.
[Google Pixel 8a] horatiopositronic:
I'm pretty pleased by the cases I have from Caseology, Poetic and Cyrill. They're all good quality, and the Cyrill one looks great on the Aloe phone.

I am not pleased with my Spigen screen protector. It causes rainbow halos in the front facing camera and reduces touch sensitivity. I'm changing that out for a different one tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 8a] Peter Johnn:
While the Pixel 8a just launched and finding accessories is a bit tough right now, I recently got a screen and body protection film from Gadgetshield. I'm impressed with how responsive the touch screen is with it on, the fingerprint sensor works perfectly, and the screen stays crystal clear. Plus, it wraps all the way around the phone to guard against scratches.
[Google Pixel 8a] tweaked:
I got one of these on a whim and both the case and screen protector are not bad.

Amazon.com
[Google Pixel 8a] lightuser:
I got one of the under $10 Taneny silicone cases. It's what I expected from the Amazon listing.

It doesn't really make the phone feel any bigger in my hand, and it gives a more secure grip and is softer when setting it down on hard surfaces. I originally thought I would carve it up, so it would have a big rectangular cutout like the Google branded case. But, the visor protection is thin enough that I think I'll keep it as is.

Instead of having moving button sub-parts in the case, it just has molded "domes" where the same case material flexes and collapses. But the button operation feels fine to me. A little tactile click still comes through.

Also I've seen reviewers complain about the big bezels on the 8a. I think they work well with this style of case. It gives a little more room between the case lip and where you need to do screen-edge touch gestures.
[Google Pixel 8a] Joshmccullough:
I got the Spigen Tough Armor case, JETech glass screen protector, and Spigen glass camera protector for my phone and I'm happy with all of them. The JETech was easy to put on; there were a few small air pockets after placing it that I wasn't able to get out but I figured they weren't too bad so I'd live with them, but the next morning they were gone.

The Spigen camera protector works well, but their applicator 'frame' is confusing and imprecise. I ended up just placing it by hand and it's fine. The case adds some bulk to the phone but not too much; phones these days are so light anyway, so everything adds *some* weight but the Tough Armor isn't excessive in my opinion. It feels solid and tight enough around the phone, and accommodates the screen protector just fine.

Edit again: At first glance, it seemed like the file was empty but after a bit of scrolling in a hex editor, data can be found! I think it's a bug in the extractor software itself.

Edit: I found out that copying the file with

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkestSpawn:
That unpacker doesn't support imagefv partition devices. Modern Qualcomm Gen devices Secureboot stops tampering even with splash image (Doing this stops people from changing abl/xbl/imagefv/splash, etc, to hide the fact that a device is unlocked/tampered with. Resell would never be trusted to the standard users). I do believe some folks have been successful tho, but I have not come across any tutorials or tools.

Pixel 2 kernel. "Taimen" and "Walleye". Build locally on my PC. So, expect force push. - JanPetrucci27/android_kernel_google_wahoo

github.com

Version 2.0:

* Introducing DC Dimming "Flicker-free" display driver: "The flicker free provides flicker free function without change panel hardware brightness to avoid PWM flicker on OLED devices."

TL/DR: A feature that eliminates eye fatigues in low brightness situations. (or maybe just a placebo idk)

To turn it off, run "echo '0' /proc/flicker_free/flicker_free" without the "" quotes in your terminal like Termux.

* "Backlight dimmer" and "Backlight max brightness" option.
[General Questions and Answers] XiaomiHype098:
Hello everyone, I wanted to know if it is possible to install Rising OS on my device: Redmi note 13 4G (Sapphire). If have a way, please teach me how to install it.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Certainly! You can install HyperOS (formerly known as Rising OS) on your Redmi Note 13 4G (codename: sapphire).

Installation Steps:

Unlock your device’s bootloader (if not already done).

Choose the appropriate ROM (Global or EEA) based on your region.

Flash the ROM using either Fastboot or Recovery method.
[General Questions and Answers] XiaomiHype098:
I'm using Xiaomi.EU, I wanted to try a purer custom rom
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
You can install a GSI if no ROMs are available for your device. The process is not that hard :) RisingOS 3.0 has no gsi released though, so maybe crdroid or lineageOS maybe better for you. Golden rule of GSI: never use one that has a lower Android version than your phone. For you that will be an Android 14 GSI.

Not a step by step guide but just an outline:

Grab your phone's stock ROM and reflash it to stock. Check that everything is working correctly. KEEP THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED. NEVER RE-LOCK THE BOOTLOADER ON NON-STOCK ROM OR YOUR DEVICE WILL BE BRICKED. keep the stock ROM ready for when something goes wrong.

install shizuku and grant it all necessary permissions (or root your device, whichever one you're more familiar with)

install DSU Loader and treble info, then download a suitable GSI for your device. Read everything very carefully, especially the DSU loader readme. There are guides on Youtube and xda for all of this if you search. This FAQ can answer any questions you have.

Download a suitable GSI from here or on sourceforge (If you're feeling brave). The FAQ above and treble info app will help you understand which variant is suitable (suffixes like arm64_ab_blahblahblah).

If you all goes well and you're following all steps/gotten lucky, the GSI will boot and you can use your device. Then you can test every function and see if it works. If you want to flash it permeantly, use fastboot to do that.

Good Luck :)

[Xiaomi 12 Pro] @Peterrrrr:
I wounder if anyone here know if 12 Pro and 12 have had the same problems with heating, which result in solder problem etc.... just like Mi 11 and 11T Pro have? Due to the CPU 12 Pro have...
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] GERATKDASD:
Yes, phone heats a lot, I think nowadays it is problematic for a normal user who doesn't want to root his phone and just use it as is.

Fortunately there are solutions but they are not practical you must install and configure several things, there is a magisk module that makes underclock the cpu, for day to day applications you do not notice the difference in fluidity in the system and heating is greatly reduced, and there is also Konabess to make undervolt and a small OC to the gpu.

You can do underclock and if you want to play, with Franco Kernel Manager you can set the games specifically to use the cpu and gpu frequencies you need, so the performance will not be affected by the underclock of the module.

You don't even need to set the maximum frequencies, by setting the processor to 70% of its capacity but the gpu to its maximum capacity you will be able to play the heaviest games without any FPS drop and with the temperatures much more controlled.

All this of course with root only.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sharkawika:
Would you by any chance have a link to a post or tutorial on how to underclock the cpu to 70 and the gpu to maximum?

Noob here)
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] GERATKDASD:
1.-Underclock

Just flash cupid-unleashed.zip with magisk, after reboot you will see an app called unleashed, open it, grant root permissions and there will be 3 options, use Efficiency and apply it with the button below and wait the time that app says.

2.-Undervolt + OC

Install konabess and after grant root user there will be displayed a list with multiple 8 gen 1 processors that are in the end of the list, the one you will choose depends on your system, if you are on stock you must select the 7th if you are on aosp 14 then use the 10th, I'm actually on A13 aosp rom so in this case it's 9th, after select the right one you will se multiple buttons above, select "Edit gpu freq tables" and select your processor and be asured the maximum freq it's 818mhz and minimum its 220mhz, if you see that then above in the buttons there is one called "import/export", then select "import from file and load the .txt I've put in attached files, after that again push the "edit gpu freq table" and be asured now are new values, 831mhz max, 150mhz min.

If all it's correct then just push first button called "repack and flash new image" and reboot the phone when it ask you to do it.

If you don't know how to use the FKM “per app profiles” let me know and I will also explain you how to use the new frequencies and set the cpu values according to your needs.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] mhys33:
This seems like a good, necessary solution to the overheating issue. Is it possible to do this and remove magisk after? I would prefer to be on an unrooted device, so that banking apps work without any hassle....
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] GERATKDASD:
Nope, sorry, I would recommend to setup banking apps before root, and after root try to hide root with zygisk, shamiko or whatever you want.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] mhys33:
Rooting is tempting for this very reason but even if one banking app doesn't work when I need it, it would be a dealbreaker for me personally.. IG I'll try on secondary device and check if everything works and then change to primary, must be my best option..

On a curious note, isn't it possible to implement this undervolt and OC via a kernel update and bundle that kernel with a ROM? That would be the most sensible option TBH because it'd be implemented as soon as I boot the ROM..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] axg2011:
I have had this problem with S22 Ultra also and now I have switched to S24 Ultra but the issue still persists. When the phone is connected to Android Auto (Mazda CX9, factory installed AA, wired), I cannot unlock the phone. The phone screen stays dark for several minutes. Pressing the power key brings up just the fingerprint sensor but when I touch it, nothing happens and screen stays blank for several minutes. I did a Google search and only one thread showed up on the Android Auto community forum. It is from Nov 2022 but has no resolution.

I tested with AAWireless adapter also and same issue. Cannot unlock phone unless I keep trying for several minutes. When Android Auto is not running, then there is no issue with unlocking.

I tried to post a new issue on Google's Android Auto community forum, but for some reason, it would not let me post saying that the post had personal information. It is exactly the same post what I have posted here.

What can be done to resolve this issue?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Oso Polar:
Judging by your own search results this is a very rare issue. I, personally, never had it with any phone (including both S22 Ultra and S24 Ultra) and a a few different cars. Never tried with Mazda though. IMHO most likely one of the applications you have on your phone (and previously also had on your S22 Ultra) has issues with AA, most probably this is not a very common application (or many more people would have reported the same issue).
[Xiaomi Mi 11] @Peterrrrr:
I have read on different forums on the web that the Mi 11 have problem with it's heat due to its CPU.

Some users have had it on repair due toe problem with the solder etc....

I wounder if it is possible to underclock the CPU and if an underclock would result in no problem with the solder in future?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] etajv100:
There's an app called KonaBess that can do this, you just need root and a config for your CPU, the issue is that at least in my case i had some random weird behaviour happening that wasn't before using the app, if you want you can give it a try here's a link

Can anyone know how to rebuiid fonts in G1 so that we can read Unicode perfectly. In fact, I'm using Vietnamese and my language has some letters like à, á, â, ừ, ă, đ,... Now that when I browse web which use Vietnamese, I just only can see the rectangle characters instead of those above.

I found out that in the system directory there has font. And I don't know how to replace those fonts with the Unicode one.

Any ideas for this problem?

[G1 Android Development] billho:
Yes, It fully support Unicode and you can upgrade it to see Vietnamese websites. I have upgraded on my G1 and it's okay.
[G1 Android Development] eladkatz:
i've done it for hebrew - you can do it too :)

it's quite simple, all you have to do is replace the fonts in the fonts directory (only droid sans and droid sans bold) with fonts that you know have your language, after you replace these fonts (and rename them of course) you have to re-sign the update.zip file and update with it as you would with jfv1.3

so to recap:

open the jfv zip

navigate to fonts directory

delete droid sans and droid sans bold

copy your own (and rename them accordingly)

re-pack the file

sign it with apk sign and the recovery image's key

update it

really simple :)
