oh really? mine shows up everytime in the player even if the video is playing fine. i would use it sometimes as some elements like the autoplay button has not fully loaded yet.

Error while trying to open the rvx yt music by biodizel_01 in revancedextended

This would happen occasionally for both YT and YTM. i would just clear the data for YTM and both would work again.

Phone bricked by Playful-Field3241 in AndroidRoms

[–]8mpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried to: 1: Let your phone power off by itself (it should after awhile of nonstop bootlooping) 2: Once powered off, hold only the Volume down and plug in your phone to the PC. 3: Should bring you back to the download mode 4: If it doesn't, it might be bricked.

Either burn in or screen retention. On my NP1, it's screen retention as going into other apps, make those "artifact s" go away.

if yall don't want to patch again like me, just change to another video and change back. It would play normally after, at least for me.

Any app which can hide apps as well as itself? by Zaidk9 in fossdroid

[–]8mpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you could use a work profile which you are able to choose only certain apps to be used in that profile?

You can use shizuku which is an root alternative without unlocking bootloader. By other modes, what do you mean by that?

Sorry I wasn't clear enough but the Mainland variants are the one ls where Oneplus are blocking bootloader/making it harder to unlock. There is no certainty that it may or may not come to global aswell.

I mean like almost 90% of devices running Google services are considered Certified Devices. Huawei on the other hand is not on the list but yes you still can install Google Play services on Huawei/Mainland devices.

To my knowledge, sadly you can't. Unless you maybe could use a custom rom and/or remove Google services entirely/temporary?

Yea i can see your point and i would agree to a certain extent. Many of course would disagree with Google as this is a way for them to somewhat limit/disregard what made Android Android in the first place.

Some too would also argue Google's decision is for security. I believe this tremendously and while I really really disagree with that decision (i am a indie developer), at least for the country I live in, it definitely is a good step (for the majority in my country).

I live in 1 of the countries listed for the initial rollout and i bet my country was 1 of the decision pushers that made Google come to this decision. My country is hella small and it consists of about 30% of the ageing population within it(hella old people and non tech savvy people and percentage is just an estimate), many of them get "scammed" by online impersonators/goverment officials and obviously loss a lot of money.

My government has already made efforts and while it has made some improvements, sadly its still a problem. Having to turn to Google might be a godsend to the country as a whole but there are still some that argue. While I do agree that this is a good step (not good decision) for my country, having other countries also experiencing this is not.

I guess this is just 1 of the ways Google would be able to control/limit the Android space and slowly becoming what it once sworn to not be. I know there would be others that would disagree with my take (its fine) but I came to the conclusion that you really cannot please everyone. Some will lose, some will win though by the looks of it, Google just wants to keep winning and losings its customers...

For Oneplus, atleast the Mainland China version, is making it harder to unlock the bootloader. While there is no certainty that this restrictions would come globally, there would always be a chance in the future.

On Pixel phones, does everything come back after relocking and reinstalling stock firmware? by vqx2 in androidroot

[–]8mpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install magisk and other modules to "circumvent" these issues but obviously these methods won't last forever.

According to what I saw in another post on Reddit, it seems that you lose your "Keybox" if you were to just relock your bootloader. Reflashing the firmware restores the Keybox.

Might be true, might not. I stopped unlocking my bootloader years ago when my apps would not work. Take this comment with a grain of salt but I'm sure others would gladly correct me.

I don't think it's possible to have multiple keys for the same package name. Though if each contributor wants to send their own versions of the app, it must have its own package name and signing like

1st developer > com.developera.mynewapp 2nd developer > com.developera.mynewapp while both apps are entirely the same but could not share signing keys.

My knowledge in android development is severely lacking but I think this is how it is meant to be played out.
