    Thread Upgrading to Magisk 17.3 when you already have Nov (Pie) patch and TWRP

    Installed the November OTA successfully yesterday. I've got TWRP on both partitions, Magisk 17.2, and MM (Magisk Manager) 6.0.1 already installed. The changelog for Magisk 17.3 discusses better handling for phones like ours with A/B boot partitions. Apparently, MM 6.0.1 is already equipped to...

    Thread How can I have ADB START with root access ("adb root" does not work)?

    There is something off with my config. The problem is that I can't script any "adb pull" or "adb push" calls directly to protected areas of the filesystem. I have followed several guides found in other XDA subforums-- many several years old. None of them have helped. No matter what I do, I...

    Thread Why are some Android/data subdirs duplicated in BOTH internal and External storage?

    I have a rooted Moto X Pure (XT1575) running CM13. I did all of my migration/installation prior to installing an external SD card. Today, I popped in and formatted an external SD card. I haven't done much of anything with the phone since doing that. About 1-2 hours later, I was browsing the...

    Thread [Q] Is the Epic what I really want?

    Looking for a capable Android phone for my mom. She has no experience with any kind of smartphone. But she knows for sure that she wants a slide-out keyboard. Our other requirement is that the phone work on Page Plus (Verizon network). I'm well capable of getting the Epic 4G working with...

    Thread [Q] Swapping "internal" sdcard partition for /data

    I'm asking this specifically for the Atrix. I would like to have one central location for all apps and data, and have all the apps installed as "internal". The advantage of this method is so that apps can function independently of whether /sdcard (or /mnt/emmc if you do it that way) is mounted...

    Thread [Q] ADW Launcher Issue - Anyone else?

    There is a strange and erratic pattern on my Inspire, involving ADW Launcher EX and the OS not maintaining its default launcher preference. I'm currently running CM 7.2.0-RC1. ADW Launcher EX is installed, alongside ADW Launcher, which I've elected to not remove from the system partition. All...

    Thread [Q] Do I need just a new volume button, or the flex cable too?

    I just bought a used Inspire without a volume button. I can easily "push" up and down by simply using a pair of tweezers. But I really hate to carry tweezers around with me, and I want to fix the problem. Before I order a new volume button, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some...

    Thread [Q] Help me choose a T-mobile phone

    I've been on Sprint for over 5 years, and I'm finally fed up with the spotty service in my new area. However, T-mobile and ATT signals are strong here. I like the plans T-mobile has to offer, so I'll be going that route. I just need to choose a phone. The reason I'm posting in XDA is because...

    Thread Question about nandroid backup if you have DarkTremor A2SD

    As anyone with DarkTremor's A2SD is well aware, the sd-ext partition is utilized as a symbolic link from within /data. As a user of a custom recovery with the nandroid backup/restore feature, you're also well aware that you can back up both data and sd-ext. If you choose to back up both, you...

    Thread [Q] HTC's Repair Department (ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?)

    I had a rooted Evo. A few weeks ago, I began experiencing random reboots, and random unmounts of my SD storage volume. I unrooted completely (with S-ON) to a stock Froyo build. I didn't even install any apps, and the problems still persisted. So I got myself an RMA and sent the phone into...

    Thread [Q] System computes free space on /data instead of sd:ext

    Forgive me if this has been asked/answered before. I found similar threads related to the /system partition, but nothing related to the /data partition. I'm running a custom ROM with A2SD (sd:ext)-- specifically, an ample 1GB partition on /system/sd. As you're probably aware, /data/app symlinks...

    Thread [Q] What is up with the 25-char contact address limitation!?

    HTC Sync, between Outlook (all versions) and Android, will only sync the first 25 characters of a street address. At work, our street address easily exceeds that. So basically, I have over 60 contacts on my phone with about half the street address that it should have-- obviously unusable data...

    Thread Why does moving an app to SD also shrink it?

    I just did the Froyo update on my Evo yesterday (c/o Fresh), and was moving my eligible apps to SD, via Settings->Applications->Manage. As I would move each, I noticed the total size of the app would shrink significantly. My user data is still there, the app is still the same app, and it works...

    Thread Downgrading stock ROM on Sprint?

    I see a lot of posts on downgrading to stock ROM on Verizon, but not so many about Sprint. Does it use the same procedure as Verizon, outlined in the WIKI? Does the Sprint 2.xx ROM also include the compatible downgraded radio too, or do I have to do that separately? Thanks.
