Using Apps2SD Pro app on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005, Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.5 with Magisk v17.1. I lose the linked apps again & again after reboot. This happened several times already. I tried all mounting script types, including the advanced one, but after several reboots, the linked apps are disappearing (errors attached). See the Storage screenshot, where you can see the sdext2 (labelled as EXT4) mounted by system, instead by Apps2SD. The problem is that the sdext2 partition is mounted earlier than the Apps2SD is started and initialized, so Apps2SD can not mount the sdext2 partition, thus the system loses the installed linked apps. How can I make Apps2SD started before sdext2 partition is mounted by the Resurrection Remix system?

How to fix this black blank part of the notification bar on Samsung Galaxy A50?

It's one of those thoughts you have just before nodding off to sleep. How would I do this?

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy XCover 5. My video is pending file even though I recorded it correctly, and there is a maximum video length on the system. How to solve this problem?

I am using a Sony Xperia L (C2104) with Android 4.2.2 (Build number 15.3.A.1.17). I can only find one setting that would turn on Wi-Fi automatically, and it is the "Location-based Wi-Fi" setting in the Power Management settings category. Of course, I have disabled this option, but I frequently find my Wi-Fi on. How can I fix this?

The question says it all. I am learning my way around all the network connections my phone wants to establish. System is official /e/os on a Fairphone 5. Running adb shell netstat -eltup I get Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program Name tcp 0 16 0.0.0.0:50057 0.0.0.0:* UNKNOWN radio 29453 1393/netmgrd tcp 0 16 0.0.0.0:50026 0.0.0.0:* UNKNOWN radio 30870 1393/netmgrd tcp 0 16 0.0.0.0:50058 0.0.0.0:* UNKNOWN radio 29468 1393/netmgrd tcp 0 16 0.0.0.0:50027 0.0.0.0:* UNKNOWN radio 30871 1393/netmgrd tcp 0 16 0.0.0.0:50059 0.0.0.0:* UNKNOWN radio 29469 1393/netmgrd tcp 0 16 0.0.0.0:50028 0.0.0.0:* UNKNOWN radio 30832 1393/netmgrd [...] udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50043 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 29431 1393/netmgrd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50050 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 30838 1393/netmgrd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50051 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 30839 1393/netmgrd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50054 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 29454 1393/netmgrd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50055 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 29455 1393/netmgrd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50058 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 30880 1393/netmgrd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50059 0.0.0.0:* ESTABLISHED radio 30881 1393/netmgr` I just included a selection, the complete list is longer. Is this expected behavior?

I just discovered I can listen to FM radio with my phone and a jack cable, but I was wondering why is it limited to FM108? I tried another app, and it still limited to FM108. The reason I'm asking this is that I would like to receive the international space station SSTV signal, but the frequency is FM 145.8 or something like that. My device is an LG G6.

I work with languages that use Americanist Phonetic Notation. It's similar enough to the International Phonetic Notation that Gboard's IPA layout can type all the characters I need *except* barred lambda. Is there some way to add a bar or strike through to a character within Gboard? It would be very convenient not to have to switch to a separate app to write these languages.

I installed android-x86-8.1-r2.iso 64 bit version in VMWare Workstation 15.5.0 under Win10x64 1903. It starts into the linux command line prompt, and I tried Alt+Fx, there is no GUI. I tried all four boot menu(normal/debug/debug nomodeset/debug VIDEO=LVDS...), all the same.

Can I run a virtual Android machine on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge? Or maybe can I run a custom ROM without flashing stock?

My Android 7 phone has the power saving feature. The max setting extends battery life by a huge amount and a lions share is saved when biometrics are disabled. Prefer a model-agnostic answer for older pre-v8 android phones, but if not possible, I have a Samsung from about 2016 iirc, with a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. The battery life estimate jumps from 9.5h on MID power save to 29h on MAX, with the contribution from disabling biometrics being +8h (only exceeded by the speed limiter at +9h) If I don't use biometrics how can I disable them permanently ? I can't find any settings entry to allow this directly. I don't want to set max power saving mode all the time to achieve this because that's very intrusive on my daily use (it stops background processing and limits which apps I can use...) So is there another way to switch off biometrics on an old android7 version? I'm thinking via developer options or via an app? I searched the settings for biometrics but it didn't turn up anything I could switch off.

So my Galaxy A51 finally gave up the ghost by refusing to turn on its screen anymore. I still got the (blind) use of the touch screen, as well as input via USB Keyboard/Mouse. Using that, I could, by blindly unlocking and authorizing USB Debugging, access the screen content via **scrcpy** and copy over all data files that are accessible via USB connection. HDMI over USB-C is not supported though. As a result, I already got at my personal data and chat apps. All chats, photos and contacts are safe. I can input any settings, commands and actions that are possible to input via the scrcpy adb connection. The last remaining problem is this: The scrcpy connection goes black as soon as what I assume are DRM/extra security protected apps are opened. This includes important 2FA Apps like Google Authenticator as well as all proprietary banking 2FA apps. I'd really like to get into them to backup their codes and re-setup them on my new phone. Any path to doing that?

I am trying to run a VM with internet access on my Pixel 6a and Android 14. I am using crosvm to successfully boot debian on the Pixel, but unfortunately I am not able to get internet access (or any communication to the host).

So far, I followed the crosvm documentation and set up the TAP device and configure networking within the guest as described here: https://crosvm.dev/book/devices/net.html I am using a kernel that supports virtio, but lspci still shows an unclassified ethernet controller and there is no /dev/virtio-ports device.

How to setup a virtual network device on Android properly so that I can get internet/network access within my VM?

Using MagiskHide against all Google services and clearing data, I restored the widevine L1 level in the DRM info app. But now, all the video services that are widevine L1 only idle when attempting to play a video instead of properly showing an error message (so it’s don’t work). As far I understand, videos decryptions keys are erased from the trusted keystore of the cpu in case the firmware is tampered. If this is true, how to restore them ? If not, how to access apps that require widevine L1 access (not accepting widevine L3) ? I’m asking this because several post across the Internet emerged in claiming on how to restore widevine L1 and by following them the device is again signaling the compatibility with L1 but doesn’t seem to support it again in reality.

I find it handy to have a calculator on my phone, but the way I have to launch it is anything but handy. It is not on my home screen (or any that come if I swipe to the side) nor on the set of screens I get from swiping up and then to the side. It is not in any of the little "clumps" of apps labelled Samsung, Google, etc. If I swipe up and use the search, I get one result but it's not the app it's the app info. Nevertheless, if I go to the app info down at the bottom there is an Open button and I can thus launch it and use it. I have tried long pressing on the app when it's running, on this app info screen, and just about everywhere else in the hope of finding a Pin To Home option, but no. I also found it in the store but that didn't help. What am I missing? How can I have a calculator I can launch with like one swipe and a click, no typing?

I have a Motorola phone running on Android 12. I have no idea what this button is with the hand with three sparkles above it is and I want to get rid of it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I’m currently experiencing an issue with my Samsung Galaxy A15 4G. After approximately 6 hours of usage, the phone suddenly behaves as if there’s no SIM card inserted. I’ve conducted some tests and found that the same issue persists even when the SIM card is placed in the second slot. This has led me to wonder if the problem could be due to the age of my SIM card, which is nearly 8 years old, or if it’s an issue with the phone itself. **Update:** I tried a different SIM card and still did the same thing. Also, note that the device is rooted, not sure if that can be something. Also, just testing the phone with none rooted AP file. Does anyone have any insights on whether the age of a SIM card could cause such an issue? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have Zidoo Z9X media player, which is able to play 3D ISO files using his own proprietary media player app. However, it cannot play the most recent 3D ISO files (released during last years). As far as I understand, that's because something has changed in the format of 3D ISO files and Zidoo Z9X's processor does not support that new thing. Unfortunately, the own proprietary media player does not have a software mode (only hardware acceleration mode). Zidoo Z9X is able to install Android apps as its OS is Android based. Looking for a solution I installed VLC media player and enabled its software mode. As a result it was able to play 3D ISO files, but not in 3D mode. I did not find any way to activate the 3D mode in it. So, the question is: I need an Android media player, which: a) supports software mode, b) is able to play 3D ISO files and c) can do this in 3D mode. Maybe, there is some VLC version, that can do this, but I was not able to find such version. Please help.

They're white on white, with just a faint drop shadow that indicates that the buttons are actually there. The issue only affects one app; Termux. Is this an Android problem or a Termux problem, and what can I do to fix it? [!] The device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 SM-T500 running Android 12 with Samsung's One UI 4.1.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A30S. I added a screen lock PIN code and can't remember it. The airplane mode is activated and I cannot turn it off, cause it's asking for PIN. I don't want to do a hard or factory reset since I have very important memories of photos and phone numbers in it. Please Help.
