texts: I had an old Lenovo A7-30HC running android 5.0 OFW that I have recently put to use, it works as intended except for that it's throwing an "android.process.acore has stopped" error, I tried to investigate a bit and I have found that in the storage section the ram is being read as a 1mb, I have no idea what might've caused this and I am thinking of flashing a custom rom but it'd be way better for me for it to stay the way it is and I am not even sure whether that will fix it or not, any ideas?

My Nexus 7 died. I didn't see it happening. My son was playing, went to school and left it charging. At night it didn't turn on anymore. The screen is black.

I've followed the Asus instructions. This answer says to disconnect the battery. Any other tip? Nexus isn't officially sold in my country (Brazil). I'm afraid I won't get be able to use the warranty.

Since the last update, I've noticed some hiccups. Maybe it was due to excess of running applications.

How does Android handle tablet specific apps and how do you distinguish these apps?

I know there are Android apps that only work on Tablet devices (they say there are currently 16) and wont work on phones. There is a similar relationship between the iPad and iPhone but in the iTunes app store there are distinct iPad and iPhone tabs.  There doesn't appear to be the same type of distinction in the Android Market that will allow me to browse Tablet specific apps.


texts: Can't take screenshots on a rooted device

texts:
I can't take screenshots on my rooted Android 4.0.3 tablet. It's a Genesis GT-1230 running some modified ROM, and apparently the power + volume down combination is disabled.

The screen is 10.1", 1024 x 600 pixels.

I have GoLauncher installed on it, and its screenshot feature produces a result like this:

However, if I deny root permissions for GoLauncher, the screenshot result goes like this:

I installed this screenshot app, it requires root, I give root permission, and it displays an error message, something along the lines of "error on fb0".

texts:
I have a ZTE phone, that I installed a CWM recovery. After that I tried to install a custom rom.... After many problems I managed to flash the official rom from ZTE site by using their online update utility  (the phone was in FTM mode).

The funny thing is that I bought the phone from Greece without any sim lock, and installed a Turkish custom rom and then this thing happened.

 trying to follow the instructions from

However I cannot find the "Add existing account" option as described.
The top menu shows:

but nothing about accounts. There is no "down arrow" icon.

The profile menu shows:

Clicking on "Settings and privacy" shows under my account:

and under "General":

"Display and sound", "Data usage", "Accessibility", "Proxy", "About Twitter".

I don't see where else I could find that option.

In my gmail account I have gone to settings>Forwarding POP/IMAP and enabled IMAP.
Then following these instructions (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229) I try to add the email in the gmail app on my phone.

I open up Gmail>Menu>Settings>Add Account
type in my email address and then click Manual set up>IMAP
On the incoming settings, I type my email, password, and "imap.gmail.com"

That works fine... but then on the next step...SMTP...
On the incoming settings, I type my email, password, and "smtp.gmail.com"

And is says "username or password is incorrect" And then in my gmail account, I get an email titled "Critical security alert" that says "Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened."

How can I get a gmail address added to the gmail account via IMAP instead of having to add my whole google account to the whole phone?

texts: Changing 3D Gallery with virtual device 2D Gallery

texts:
I have a ZTE Blade which reboots everytime I open the 3D Gallery.

I am using the official stock ROM (Froyo) rooted.
I realized that the android emulator which SDK brings has a lighter 2D version of the gallery, so I extracted Gallery.apk from /system/app through ADB.
I put it into my Blade /system/app, I changed permissions, restarted the phone and nothing. There is no new gallery inside the app drawer.

What am I doing wrong? The emulator is running Froyo.

I've tried different galleries from Google play but none suits me, specially due to Picasa integration.

I've tried different Gallery.apk from other forums with the same luck. I even tried to install them but it end with an "App is not installed" message.

Thanks.

The stock recovery will look for a valid signature from its manufacturer.

What signature does TWRP look for?
Does it have a built in keychain of known developers? Does it just check for any signature and accepts it regardless of the signer to check for integrity only? Does it check whether the signature is from the same signer as the currently installed ROM?

(I'm asking because LineagOS recently started releasing signed builds but TWRP failed to verify it. Probably you'll want to use the LineagOS OS recovery but those haven't been released yet)

adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state

tells me "encrypted"

Now the big question, which filesystems are encrypted, all ?
And which partition or FS does not have to be encrpyted?

texts: Looking for a consistent answer about battery calibration

texts:
This forum is full of questions about battery calibration. The thing is, that either I'm blind or one answers contradicts others.

In particular:

For example forums says, that battery should be discharged to an absolute minimum. If you can power-on your phone, you should keep turning it on until battery is discharged so badly, that you can't turn it on. Sounds creepy and is in complete opposition to Lie Ryan, who says, that "a full discharge is never beneficial to LiON battery capacity".
Again, forums says, that after full discharge and full charge, calibration process is completed, while Logas claims, that it needs a nearly-full discharge, full charge and again running battery fully flat.
Citing forums third time, he says, that battery formatting process should be undertaken only in rare, quite critical situations, when battery behavior became some sort of strange, while Logas says, that this should be done every 30-90 days.
All of them says about battery calibration at all, while Matthew Read says, that Android handles battery calibration and therfore (I assume) user should not do nothing about this.
Found some answers and comments saying, that both battery calibration and regular charging process should be done on turned-off phone, while others says that it is unusual with modern mobile systems to turn off phone completely very often.

So, can someone provide a consistent answer on these matters? Does the battery used in Android device require calibration at all? If yes, then how often, and what steps should be done to achieve this? Do I really have to run phone until it is really, really flat and do I have to charge it, while it is off?

texts: Fingerprint unlock and password multiple-attempt security

texts:
I have noticed that fingerprint unlocking on Android is pretty insecure. If you make 5 failed attempts (which is quite a lot), the phone just disables the scanner for 30 seconds and then re-enables it. I would like to reduce the number of attempts before disabling the scanner, and then set it to require the password before unlocking. Google searches for this have revealed many pages of results of people wanting to make their phones less secure by increasing the number of attempts or disabling the horrific 30 second waiting period, but am I the only one concerned that it is pretty insecure as it is? I don't want to have to disable fingerprint unlock, as I have a very secure password set that would be a bit of a pain to enter every time I unlocked my phone.

Likewise with passwords, the "Automatically wipe after x failed password attempts" option seems to have disappeared from my phone as of the Oreo update, and there is a fixed 30 second waiting period every 5 attempts, which means that with a reasonable pool of guesses, anyone could brute force my password with enough tries.

What can I do to make my phone more secure?

texts: Kindle Fire HD 7" runs very slowly after rooting

texts:
I recently rooted my Kindle Fire HD and it now runs very slowly. It was mentioned in the rooting instructions I was following that this would happen during the rooting process. I am wondering if this is a permanent consequence of rooting or if it is fixable. If it is something I can fix could you tell me how.
Thanks for the help!

Here are the steps I followed:

Download Root MANY ANDROID! to your desktop. Extract to your desktop. This package includes updated adb daemons.
Download Qemu automated root to your desktop. Extract to your desktop. This package includes updated adb daemons.

  NOTE WINDOWS 7 USERS: You need to open a command prompt "as Administrator" when running the above utility batch files RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat - otherwise Windows will respond with "Permission Denied".
  Root Step 1: Run RunMe.bat from Root MANY ANDROID!. Choose option 1 Run Normal Method and ignore errors. Pay attention, you will need to answer "Restore" a dialogue box on the Kindle. Click on Restore. When the program has completed, the Kindle will Reboot.
  Root Step 2: When the Kindle reboots it will react VERY slowly, this is normal - leave it alone. Immediatly proceed to Step 3.
  Root Step 3: Run RootQemu.bat from Qemu automated root. Follow the instructions Step-by-Step allowing Windows to re-detect the Kindle between reboots (about 2 minutes). Let this utility complete to the end.
  Root Step 4: Click on Superuser.apk under the Apps tab.


texts: How can i get back my files from userdata dump (dumepd via LGUP)?

texts:
A while ago i soft bricked my LG V30, then before i flashed a new Rom i created a LGUP dump which gave me lots of files includung a 54 GB userdata file.
The phone is currently up and running with the new Rom after a factory reset, the thing i am after are my Files that are in the Userdata dump.
What i have tried/googled:

I have mounted the system Partition as EXT4 under Ubuntu which has worked perfectly fine, but when i try this with the userdata it doesnt work.
I have read that it is possible to (somehow) create a flashable KDZ or TOT file that apparently can be put back on the phone. I had no luck finding a tool or any instructions on how to do this.
I have heard that you can push a partition to the Phone via ADB. This went similar to #2 as i wasnt able to find any instructions or something like that on google.
Also i have tried to mount the userdata file on my phone through the ADB shell, but this wasnt successful because the shell doesnt have root permissions.
I also have tried the partition dl feature in LGUP with the phone in Download mode but UP gives me an error that the file isnt in a KDZ or TOT format.

Can anyone help? I am desperately trying to get my files back.
Does anyone know why the mount under Linux doesnt work? This would be the easyest way to get the files.

texts: Problem creating a reminder with date/time in title

texts:
Using Android 9 on a Pixel 2, I can recreate this problem reliably.
Let's say currently it is January 20. I prompt Google Assistant to start making a reminder for a certain date and time, such as:
"Remind me on February 8th at 6 pm",
to which it replies:
"Okay, what's the reminder?"
If I then want to the reminder text to say something like:
"Appointment tomorrow at noon",
Google will interpret that as a new reminder set for January 21 at noon, instead of a reminder on February 8th at 6 pm saying "Appointment tomorrow at noon".
This seems like a mistake, especially since Google specifically saved the date and time of the original request and prompted me just for the reminder text.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Many thanks.

I've tried OneDrive and Dropbox, however they just sync files that are located in the main camera album, if I take a picture with an App who has a folder of its own, this picture it is not synchronized. In both OneDrive and Dropbox don't see an option to select these additional folders to sync.

How can I accomplish this?

I'm trying to install TWRP ("openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar") on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910F with Android 5.1.1 . I tried to do it with Odin versions v3.09 and v3.10.7 using different USB cables and ports. The process always seems correct: it shows 'ID:COM' and finishes without errors, showing green and ends up resetting the device, but after that I try to boot into 'Download mode' and after pressing "volume down" + Home + Power it keeps showing the default recovery, it doesn't boot on TWRP.

I've uploaded here five screenshots showing what's happening. Here's one of them, showing that apparently everything has worked fine and the device is beeing rebooted:

PC configuration:

Windows 7
Already installed Drivers "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip"
from here

Device configuration:

'USB debugging' is enabled
Security => 'Reactivation lock' is disabled.

How can I install and boot correctly TWRP?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance

texts: Turning off my phone when power is disconnected

texts:
I am using Tasker to do some scheduling tasks and it is working all flawlessly. Now there is one thing where I am stuck at.
I want to turn airplan mode on and power off my phone whenever the charging turns off. For this, tasker needs the device to be rooted.

Can you guys please suggest me what are the minimal steps I need to take to make this happen (minimal modification to the system) At this point of time I dont want to use the other amazing features which rooting provides but just powering off my device and turning airplane mode on using tasker / MacroDroid.

I have two samsung tablets on which I want to make this happen. One is Samsung Tab S4 and the other one is Samsung Tab A 10.5.

Is there any way to turn off the vibration on the nexus 4 phone? I would like to open up the phone and rip out the vibration device it is annoying me that much.

For all calls and SMS there is no vibration. But for the Apps there is vibration. However I would like to keep the notifications for the apps, in the sense that I would like to have the visual pop ups that come on the screen. They are great! But it seems like it is almost impossible to decouple the associated vibrations that come with it.

If I go to the app notifications it either gives me the option of completely getting rid of the notifications, or having the notifications with vibrate. Only WhatsApp has the little cog wheel at the top which gives me the option of turning off vibration as well. All other apps don't.

Otherwise can someone tell me where this vibrate thingy is so I can jam a screwdriver into it or pour acid into it?


texts: How can you open a URI from the command line?

texts:
I recently started playing with the app called 'Automate'. The starting block for each Automate flow provides a URI. Can this URI be used to initiate a flow? Can I accomplish this from the command line? Specifically, I would like to call Automate flows from within a Termux environment.
I assume this can be done with am start ... but I haven't had any luck trying different commands (and I have successfully used am from within Termux before, so I don't think that's an issue). I have very limited knowledge of Android intents.

I tried running am start -d content://rest-of-uri and I received a prompt asking which app to open, I chose Automate and the notification appeared for a second but the flow didn't run.


texts: .thumbdata files maxing out internal SD memory

texts:
I have an 8GB Nextbook7 running Android 4.0.4. Recently, I discovered that I have 2 files named .thumbdata3... eating up all my internal space of 5+GB. These files are found in the .thumbnail folder under the DCIM folder. I have read on the internet that these files are produced by Android Gallery, but there is a bug in the OS that causes these files to grow so large and max out all the available internal storage space.

I have tried deleting the files, but they come back. I have tried writing small text files and saving them with the name .thumbdata3... as in the problem files, but that does not work either. I have downloaded an app called Thumbnail file deleter, which deletes the problem files, but the files will rebuild themselves again until the space is maxed out.

Does anyone have a permanent cure to this .thumdata3... problem? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I am running a Android device with a kernel version of 3.4.5 on a soc made by mediatek (MT6582). Now recently I found a within post with the stock untouched KitKat based kernel for MT6582. This new KitKat kernel is version 3.4.67 I believe. And in the github page the guy mentioned a thing about upgrading the kernel version without having to necessarily make a new one. It didnt have any steps and I didn't really understand much if someone can help on how to upgrade the Linux kernel it would very very helpful.
Here is what it read:

  Unlike patches for the 3.x kernels, patches for the 3.x.y kernels
     (also known as the -stable kernels) are not incremental but instead apply
     directly to the base 3.x kernel.  Please read
     Documentation/applying-patches.txt for more information.

  Alternatively, the script patch-kernel can be used to automate this
     process.  It determines the current kernel version and applies any
     patches found.

linux/scripts/patch-kernel linux

  The first argument in the command above is the location of the
     kernel source.  Patches are applied from the current directory, but
     an alternative directory can be specified as the second argument.

  If you are upgrading between releases using the stable series patches
     (for example, patch-3.x.y), note that these "dot-releases" are
     not incremental and must be applied to the 3.x base tree. For
     example, if your base kernel is 3.0 and you want to apply the
     3.0.3 patch, you do not and indeed must not first apply the
     3.0.1 and 3.0.2 patches. Similarly, if you are running kernel
     version 3.0.2 and want to jump to 3.0.3, you must first
     reverse the 3.0.2 patch (that is, patch -R) before applying
     the 3.0.3 patch.

So does anyone know how I can upgrade my kernel version...if yes can you please tell me how another related info to help me would also be appreciated.
Thanks

texts: How to resize the screen on Android 4.2.2 (adb shell wm overscan doesn't work)

texts:
I was following this tutorial in order to resize my screen (or "deactivate" a small part from the bottom of it): https://android.stackexchange.com/a/113782/191822

As describes above I tried tried it with ADB. I'm using Android 4.2.2, which is probably the reason why the following command doesn't work:

adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,100
/system/bin/sh: wm: not found

Replacing wm by am didn't work either:

adb shell am overscan 0,0,0,100
...
...
Error: Unknown command: overscan

Does anyone know how to accomplish that with Android 4.2.2

I'm working on Ubuntu 16.04

EDIT: ok, I've come so far to notice that the command I have to use might be something like:

adb shell am display-size

e.g. (from 540x960 to 540x700)

adb shell am display-size 540x700

However, this will resize the screen on the top and the bottom. I couldn't find a way to only remove a part of the screen from the bottom withouth changing the screen position on the top.

texts: How is the gmail sync interval determined on Android?

texts:
Today I stopped getting notifications for gmail messages received on Android. This has happened before and always seems to fix itself after a day or two, but I want to find out why. So I looked under
(Main phone settings) > Cloud and accounts > Accounts > Google

and indeed I see all the Google apps like this
Sync Calendar (On) / Last synced on 4/27/21 07:50  [8 hours ago]
Sync Chrome (Off) / Sync turned off
...
Sync Drive (On) / Last synced on 4/25/21 10:36  [2 days ago]
Sync Gmail (On) / Last synced on 4/27/21 07:50  [8 hours ago]  <-- this must be the problem
...

In the past, Sync Gmail would show that it last synced just a minute ago. Why did this change? How can I set it back? The only setting I can find is to turn sync off entirely, and then turn it back on. Ok, this syncs once when I do it but doesn't continue to sync. I want it to sync automatically every few minutes like it normally does.

texts: Applications moved to SD card cannot be loaded

texts:
I have an Android phone running Android 2.2.1 with very limited phone memory. So I have to move the applications to SD card all the time.

BUT:

If I move applications to the SD card, then after I reboot the phone, some of the (most likely the bigger in size ones) will disappear on the application panel. And the icons in the settings → application management will turn into a gray icon with a SD mark on it. Also the name becomes the package name like 'com.foo.bar'. If I tap the icon, only the remove button is available. This is different from the issue of icons on application panel loads slow after reboot. This issue is about the application just won't load.

Another thing on I noticed is that, on reboot, loading SD card seems done in a very short time. Maybe the system is not loading the SD card with enough time.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Note: I know that I can use image converter apps and tools to convert large produced images into smaller.

texts: HAOQIN 7" Android 9 as host won't recognize specific USB devices

texts:
(Please note that this question is about the Android tablet in USB host mode failing to recognize a USB device.  It is NOT about Windows/Mac failing to recognize my Android tablet, as Google keeps routing me to.)
I have a new HAOQIN 7" tablet with Android 9.  It might be "Go", I don't know how to tell.
PROBLEM: I have a custom board with USB (communication device class) and associated app.  When I plug my board into my old tablet, everything works.  So the board and app "work" perfectly as is.  However, when I try the same with this new tablet, things do NOT work.  In trying to figure this out, I'm testing with commercially available hardware and apps, not my own custom stuff, just in case.  But I'm finding this new tablet doesn't work as expected for that commercially available stuff, either.

(WORKS) I can plug in a mouse.  When I move the mouse, I see a mouse icon appear and move.

(HALF WORKS) I can plug in a USB flash drive.  On an older Android 6 tablet, I could run the files app and see both internal memory and the external flash drive, then I could browse the flash drive.  With this newer tablet, the files app does NOT show the external flash drive and I haven't seen any way to make the files app view the external flash drive.  However, if I swipe down from the top to see notifications, there is a USB notification.  If I touch that, it leads to a different app that allows me to browse the flash drive.  It's not the same files app.  So the flash drive is working and accessible, but NOT by the old method through the file browser app.  It's as if this tablet has segregated or limited USB devices somehow.

(FAILS) On that older Android 6 tablet, I installed a "USB Device info" app.  If I plugged in a mouse or USB drive to that older tablet, the "USB Device info" app successfully showed a new item, presumably the new device just plugged in.  However, with this new Android 9 tablet, "USB Device info" does NOT show anything when I plug in either a mouse or USB drive, even though I can access them by the method described above.  WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?  I've tried to find some funny setting, but haven't found anything.  Again, it's like the O/S is hiding USB devices.

(FAILS) MOST IMPORTANTLY, I have a custom board with a USB chip on it (communication device class), plus an associated custom app.  When I plug the board into the older tablet, things work.  First, if my custom app is already loaded, the O/S asks me if it's OK to give access now and in the future. Then, the custom app successfully connects to the custom board.

(WORKS) Now things get really weird.  I have an automatic app update program that lives as a service on the tablet.  This app responds to a USB flash drive being plugged in and containing a specific upgrade file.  Well, when I plug in the USB flash drive, this service does indeed pop up its GUI and ask the user if they want to upgrade.  So this specific program is seeing at least the USB flash drive if not all devices.  This app uses "Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED".  (It does some additional testing with "android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED".)  The "Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED" is working on BOTH the old and new tablets.  So the the new tablet works in this regard.

(FAILS) Meanwhile, the desired GUI app for the custom board uses "usbManager.getDeviceList()".  It seems that this isn't working on the new tablet.

I'm totally lost and far beyond my depth.  Please help!
EDIT: Nothing conclusive yet, but I do find the following.  I edited the sourcecode to that install program to log to the screen certain events.  On the old tablet, when I plug in a USB flash drive, it's getting both "Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED" events as well as "android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" events.  However, the same program on the new tablet only gets "Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED" events.  It does NOT get "android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" events.

texts: Mount an ext4 formatted sdcard on a stock Lolipop 5.1 rom (rooted)

texts:
I currently have a Sony Z1 Compact. Unfortunately, it has an unlockable bootloader. I typically install Cyanogen on my android devices, but in this case, I don't have that option (without messing around with packages and changing out some kernels and so-fourth which I don't want to deal with).

I'm running the stock Sony 5.1 firmware with SuperSU root. My SDCard from my old phone is formatted in ext4. Upon loading it into the Sony Z1, it tells me the card is "damaged" (it doesn't recognize ext4) and refused to mount it. I can mount it via adb manually using the following:

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/sdcard1

But of course, it doesn't show up as mounted storage in any Android app or the system preferences. I've found a myriad of posts for older 4.4 firmware references files that don't seem to exist in Android 5.1 (at least not on the Sony firmware).

The kernel obviously supports ext4. I can mount it. What is the correct way to get the Sony firmware to either auto-mount it or to setup my device to mount it manually on boot and have it correctly recognize it as an external sdcard to all my other android apps.

It's a 128GB card filled with my music (well, A through W. X through Z will have to wait until I decide to buy a bigger card) and I really don't want to have to reformat it in vfat.

How do I achieve the equivalent in Android Outlook app? Or web app? Otherwise, there are 100 elements that fill up the list of unread in the inbox.

texts: One-Click-Root Failed On Samsung J7 SM-J700H

texts: I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 running 6.0.1 marshmallow which i tried to root using One-Click-Root methods like desktop versions of "Kingroot" and "Kingoroot". However, "Kingroot" doesn't support my device type and "Kingoroot" gives "Root Failed" without showing any error code (as shown in the image below) . I have my phone's OEM Unlocked and USB Debugging on and I use ONE-CLICK-ROOT because it is believed to be the safest method (according to a quora discussion). So my question is, why is this happening ? And what could be a safe alternative to root my phone ?

I lost my phone today and I tried to do the remote wipe several times because phone was off and I was impatient.
Now google says there was suspicious activity with my account and I must my password. This is the dilemma for me now.

texts: Quick way to show unread emails in inbox in Gmail app?

texts:
Is there a quick (menu / tap) way of viewing the unread emails in your inbox? Or at least showing the unread emails at the top of the list of emails, in other words sorted by unread/read (temporarily)?

The only way I have found to do this is to search for is:unread in:inbox which is not ideal on the phone's touch screen IMO.

Is there a quicker way?

texts:
Yesterday I connected my phone in mass storage mode to copy photos off the external microSD card and ejected it properly from Windows before disconnecting it. After that it said there was an error on my memory card.
Now if I go to storage, it reports that the card exists and is mounted, but cannot read from it (and so does not display the usage breakup of apps and media the way it does for internal storage)

If I try using ES File Explorer, it too reports that the memory card exists as well as the count of songs and photos, but cannot read any of them. I have only a couple of apps that I had moved to SD card - these show up in the drawer but either fail with an error or cause the phone to freeze.
I am able to view the contents of the memory card if it's connected to Windows in MTP mode, but again cannot read or copy files.
What's going on?

Is there a fix that doesn't involve reformatting the card and losing everything on it?

Edit Just put it into a card reader, and it works normally. I'm able to view and open files.

texts:
I know that Android (at least Pie) uses a file WifiConfigStore.xml to store WiFi access points and passwords. It is located in /data/misc/wifi/.

I saved it before wipe and reinstall everything. The idea was to copy it back to this location. While the phone is on/powered it seems not to uses the information from this new file. But after reboot it is gone and overwritten.

So my question: is there a special trick? Or is this not the proper location? Is there some backup file stored somewhere else?

(I have a rooted LineageOS 16 device with Magisk. I even tried to change the file in TWRP with not better result.)

Edit: Found that this file is also located in
/data/misc_ce/0/wifi,
/sbin/.magisk/mirror/data/misc/wifi and
/sbin/.magisk/mirror/data/misc_ce/wifi

And there are also files
WifiConfigStore.xml.encrypted-checksum. From naming it sounds like there it is including a checksum to avoid errors in xml?
This file I have not saved. Am I lost now? Can I delete this and it will be created than?

What is function of this misc_ce folders?

Thanks!


texts: How do I update or clear the files listed in the Storage Access Framework?

texts:
Some Android applications use the SAF for a 'file picker'. As I understand it, this file picker, provided by Android, has its own special set of labels under which it chooses to display files along side the traditional storage file structure.

For example, opening up the side menu gets you a list that says:
Recent, Drive, Images, Video, Audio, Downloads

Its not totally clear where the files listed under each label are pulled from. The files listed are a history and thus often no longer exist. So I can click on Downloads and select FileThatNoLongerExists.txt. This will probably result in an application error.

I want to be able to:

Update the set of files listed through the SAF. Listing deleted files is stupid
Clear out files I do not want to be visible through the SAF. Most computer interfaces that have a "Recent Documents" list let you clear or disable it

How would I go about doing these things?


texts: While on call, typing a digit on dial pad doesn't make any sound

texts:
Since my Samsung Duos phone was upgraded to Android 5.0.2, during a call, when I dial some digits on the numeric pad, there is no keypad tone heard. As a consequence, when an answering machine asks my choice like "press one", "press two", I just cannot provide any choice.

I tried pretty much all settings (dialing keypad tone, touch sounds), with no luck, I can't even imagine why disabling this feature.

Any suggestions?

texts: Can I pair 2 Android Devices via Bluetooth for internet access?

texts:
This is pretty much hypothetical at this point but I'm curious...
Let's say I get one of the Android tablets likely to be coming out in the spring and get one that only has WiFi and no WWAN access built in...
I've got a Moto Droid running stock 2.2.1 and unrooted.  I know I can obviously tether via wifi if I root the device, but there is also the application PDANet that allows you to tether with your computer via USB or Bluetooth.  USB is probably out of the question on most tablets, but is there any way that I would be able to tether the phone to the tablet via Bluetooth?

From what I've read, PDANet uses the DUN (Dial Up Networking) BT profile for tethering, which Android can obviously host, but is there any support in android for BT DUN client mode?

In all likelyhood I will just root (again actually... CyanogenMod almost bricked my phone) and go with that... but I'm also trying to look to the future when I will hopefully replace the Droid next summer and I don't want to become used to WiFi tethering, and then have no option upon purchasing a new phone unless I make sure that whatever I get can be rooted and run wifi-tether.

texts:
Ever since I upgraded my Google+ app on Friday (3.3.0.40049528) one of my favorite features, Image Instant Upload, is not working.

One of the big changes in this release was that instant upload could now upload full size images, rather than limiting them to 2048px.

I have plenty of available storage (4GB out of 5GB available)
I have force stopped the Google+ app as well as cleared the data at least once
The phone (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) has been restarted a couple of times
I am using the stock camera app for my testing
The settings were not changed when I updated Google+, but I have confirmed that Instant Upload is set to allow photo uploads on wifi as well as mobile data. I do not have "upload only when charging" turned on, and there is plenty of battery available.

Any ideas? Have I got a bug that needs an update?

texts:
My phone (Samsung S7 running Android 8.0.0) recently updated to Chrome version 85, and with it came tab groups.
I am sure this is a welcome thing for many, but I rarely have more than 8 tabs open at any time. Thus the ability to group tabs makes little sense for me.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to avoid it. When holding on a link, "Open in new tab" has become "Open in new tab in group", and there is no option to open it just as a separate tab.
This makes my regular tab cleaning a lot more cumbersome, as now I suddenly have two or three groups where I want to remove one or two tabs each, rather than just four tabs I want to close.
Is there a way to remove tab grouping, or at least a way to hide it away so that I don't have to bother with it during casual internet browsing? At the very least, I can't find anything even remotely relevant in the settings, and a rudimentary internet search has only provided news of the feature, not any details on removing it.

So how can I call, using Google Voice and Google Wallet, in my Android -phone?

texts: The WiFi connection on my Dell XCD 35 (Froyo) times out

texts:
I recently bought the Dell XCD35, one of the biggest issues I'm facing is that it keeps disconnecting from an established (and saved) WiFi network and I need to manually select 'Connect' for it to get on WiFi.

I don't have this problem with my Galaxy 3, which I'm also using. And the problem persists even on other WiFi networks that I've tried connecting to. I've checked the settings (WiFi sleep, etc.) Also downloaded WiFi Manager app but no difference.

There is no trouble while connecting, but the moment the screen times out, the Wifi connection does too! This is very annoying, because it used up precious network. Is there a solution or should I just junk this phone?

texts: Stay connected to specific Wifi which has no internet

texts:
I have a Nexus 5 with Marshmallow and another device with a built-in 5.8Ghz WiFi which is used for transfering videos from it. When I connect to this WiFi it keeps telling me, that it has no internet connection and thus obviously disconnecting automatically to find a better one. How do I keep the connection?

Some things I already tried:

set the freq to 5Ghz only
delete all the other known Wifis
manually add the wifi

Unless the connection is stable, I cannot connect to the device with its corresponding app. Are there any apps which could achieve that?

EDIT:

Logcat prints the following when the device disconnects:

12-23 20:29:09.368: D/IpReachabilityMonitor(777): clear: iface{wlan0/21}, v{4}, ntable=[]
12-23 20:29:09.377: I/wpa_supplicant(4270): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:e0:5d:91:1b:ec reason=3 locally_generated=1
12-23 20:29:09.381: D/WifiStateMachine(777): WifiStateMachine: Leaving Connected state

What I found out so far, is that this might be a kernel problem. However, I have not found any references to android in this case.

texts: Begin learning to root/reflash Android devices from Linux

texts:
I want to take an (older) Android device and replace the Android system.

I understand that I will need to a) get root access to it, and b) install a new system image (ROM&kernel). I also suspect that's a simplification.

My problem is that I'm having great difficulty knowing where to start.
I have found lots of disparate bits of information on small aspects of this, but much of it seems to start either with "magic" software on windows, or at some point arbitrarily far downstream, but I don't know how far, and I don't know how to get there. It probably doesn't help that I'm trying to learn this using an old "I don't care if I destroy this" phone (LG Optimus 670)

I am a long-time programmer and Linux user, so I'm comfortable with technical instructions provided they're accurate and don't use new terminology without explaining it, and I'm even happier with an explanation of how the parts of a system fit together, and the tools that interact with it, from which I might extrapolate what to do, or why something hasn't worked.

Unfortunately, while I go to the point that I can use adb to get to a shell on my device, it's not a root shell, and anything I try to do (beyond simple "ls" or "ps" anyway) is generally met with a permission problem.

Partly perhaps because I run Linux, not windows, I've totally failed to find a way to root my device (it's an old LG Optimus 670 with a ZDJ "baseband"--what's that, btw, I thought baseband was a term referring to a way of using a medium to carry a single signal, as distinct from broadband, meaning you can encode multiple signals onto it! Perhaps this relates to the software controlling this behavior?)

I've also read that the ZDJ must be downgraded to ZDM before rooting, but I don't know where to begin doing that either.

So, can anyone suggest a good resource that might explain the fundamental structure of an Android system, so I can begin to get a better grip on it? And, can anyone tell me if there are resources that will help me hack this system using Linux as my host, rather than windows? (Or, if I just have to have windows, I suppose that's worth knowing, I could probably bring up a virtual machine if I must!)

Many thanks!

I have installed an app called "SCR Pro", it allows to record android screen as video with internal sound, or microphone, or mute.

But with Paltalk or Join.me, when it begins to record, it fails to record the internal sound, it obligates me to continue recording as mute or it stopps.
It says "Only one app can use microphone
at a time. This is an Android
system limitation. Close other app
using the microphone (e.g. Google
Now or Skype) or continue
recording without audio".

I have Android 4.4.4 rooted, I tried to deactivate "Ok Google" service, and I have no Skype App in device, but it still not recording internal sound ONLY with Paltalk or Join.me.

How to bypass this restriction on microphone use in Android?

In Android 9, the trick for my stock ROM was to replace OnePlus launcher with an older version from Android 8 build. However, this trick doesn't work on Android 10 anymore. Neither does disabling or removing the stock OnePlus launcher. It just disables Overview functionality at my face than.

I primarily use Nova launcher. I have tried to use one or two other launchers from Play Store in the hope that they might  bring vertical overview on the table, but all at vain.

So, how do I bring back vertical overview in Android 10 in OnePlus 6?

Note 1: I am only looking for answers as solutions that does the job I am asking for. Nothing else.

Note 2: the device is rooted with Magisk.


texts: AdSupported Angry Birds versions keep crashing on Android 2.2.1 Tablet PC

texts:
After RTFM, I decided to ask the question here.

Device is a generic android tablet device (http://www.reeder.com.tr/reedpad.asp),

idenfied as: "sec_smdkv210"
here is the build fingerprint:
"sec_smdkv210/smdkv210/smdkv210:2.2.1/FRF91/eng.root.20110224.011402:eng/release"
Android Version: 2.2.1

Problem occurs after I launch Angry Birds Rio, and try to play the first level, at the very beginning, it just quits from the game.

System Log:

http://pastebin.com/aBmfvXtF

Game is an adsupported version 1.0.0 downloaded from market.

No ad blocker installed, no add-ons. Device is rooted by z4root, but before or after rooting, behaviour is same. Also, same crash behaviour is observed with Angry Birds Seasons, but slighly different, it crashes if you  try to pause and reload the level during the game, resulting a similiar crash log which I didn't bother to paste here once again.

Same string appears in the crash log before the crash:

JNI WARNING: received null jstring (Check_GetStringUTFChars)

Trying to move from SD card to device did not help.
Trying to change the device locale from Turkish to English did not help.
Trying to update the device from manufacturer's site, did not help (it did not updated the android version, only manufacturer's build number changed)
Trying to root the device, did not help.

Anybody could suggest what could be going on here?

Best Regards,

texts: 4.0 ICS: Access safe mode without volume buttons

texts:
My dad has a GEM7008 tablet running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and has managed to acquire the Cheshire Police virus. Bear in mind that he's in his 60s and before getting this tablet, he'd never used a PC/Laptop/tablet/smartphone before. And I'm helping him over the phone.

The link above has instructions for removing this virus from tablets/phones and involves booting the phone into safe mode by turning the tablet off, then turning it on, and holding the volume buttons while it's turning on. The problem is, the tablet doesn't have any volume buttons. The route into safe mode for 4.1 doesn't work on his tablet, as expected.

How can I get into safe mode?

How can I reboot my Android device?

If I long-press the physical power button, it only gives me an option to shut it down. If I longpress that button, it actually asks me to reboot the phone, albeit in safe mode. I don't want that, I just want to reboot in unsafe... mode.

Best regards

  How can I stop applications and services from running?

I noticed that some apps automatically starts without me opening it. Some of them runs everytime I turn on the phone (so they are like Windows startup apps in some way). Some others automatically run without an apparent reason, I killed it, and the next time i look at my phone it's there again. by the way I use Advanced Task Killer to kill and see the list of all active apps. And even weirder, some apps are apparently triggered by opening the android market.

What is the mechanics of this, and how do I control which app can automatically run?

texts: Is there anyway to connect to a WPA Enterprise Wi-Fi network with version 1.5 on a Motorola Backflip?

texts:
The only available security options when adding an new Wi-Fi network are:

None
WEP
WPA Personal
WPA2 Personal

I was hoping to connect to WPA Enterprise either by getting it added to the list, or finding a workaround/hack to do so.
