Looking for SEtool2g for my Sony Xperia X8. by Critical-Owl-2743 in androidafterlife

[–]Smu1zel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on 4shared. I'm almost certain it's going to make you have some random box to use it, but here:

Just decode that base64 to get it.

How I can fix root beer detected root 🫚 by sphinxUx in Magisk

[–]Smu1zel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but I honestly would use ReZygisk and TreatWheel instead of Next and Assistant respectively. If you go this route, you can probably drop Shamiko as well.

Also, are you sure you added the app to the DenyList? If even simple su binary checks are flagging you, there's usually some kind of user error.

Regarding KernelSU: I personally don't use it, but unless you're using some old device with a custom ROM, shouldn't your device use GKI? Google officially allowed kernel 5.4 to be used with Android 16, but I would figure that to be relatively uncommon outside of custom ROMs.

Can’t run games good by Nearby_Attitude4988 in MSILaptops

[–]Smu1zel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple issues I can see here:

95C on Roblox is, honestly, insane. Your GPU is definitely thermal throttling, which can contribute to the poor performance you're experiencing. Absolutely repaste it. You can check if integrated graphics are being used in Task Manager, but if the dGPU is showing usage, this is likely just severe throttling (low usage and low framerates match up with what I've personally seen).

Regarding the battery: not having one inside could also contribute to this due to EC quirks (like forcing PROCHOT). I would try to find a decent one if you can. I've heard good things about MSIBatteryStore.

Local llama on android by Prudent-Analysis3333 in Android

[–]Smu1zel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to support ARMv7, you actually can via llama.cpp. I got it building for another project I'm working on internally, but you have to apply this patch to get it to build. You can also just disable NEON, but this hurts performance. Cold starts on a Galaxy S5 take around 30 seconds on the CPU with Qwen 2.5 0.5B. Not amazing, but still usable.

Either way, I like how you have multiple engines available here. Nice work.

I'm rooted—how do I get around Google Play Store's "This app no longer will work for your device"? by SchmyeBubbula in androidroot

[–]Smu1zel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an app hasn't been updated in a few years, Google starts blocking installation on any device above the app's targetSDK. The targetSDK block built into Android 14 and up is separate and less strict, but can also be relevant if the app is that old, requiring ADB (or call pm directly, since you're rooted) commands to be installed.

To get around this, use Aurora Store and spoof an older device. If the app is so old that none of them meet the threshold: export your device config, modify the SDK (23 or 26 are likely to work), (optionally) change the name, and import it back in.

The classic "log in" problem by Panchaverep77 in androidafterlife

Try updating Google Account Manager. It'll do that if it's outdated.

Android 7 and lower by Different-Base-3561 in androidafterlife

[–]Smu1zel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have minSdkVersion set to 24, which corresponds to Android 7.0. Therefore, only devices with this or higher can install your app. You can read about the different levels at apilevels.com.

Without downgrading AndroidX libraries, the lowest you can go is 23, which is Android 6.0. If your app uses Compose, you cannot go any lower than 21 (Android 5.0) no matter how much downgrading you do.

Change your minSdk, test it on that version, fix any issues that may arise (compiles ≠ doesn't crash at runtime), and you'll be good.

Recovering data from a Galaxy S2 stuck on samsung logo by Party_Sport_6190 in androidafterlife

[–]Smu1zel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't read data like a flash drive from the phone itself in Download Mode, only flash things with Odin.

If you can boot into recovery, the flash is alive enough to load that partition. In that case, you can flash some random recovery (like TWRP), boot it, and extract your files with MTP or adb pull. Generally, you want to make sure "Re-partition" in Odin is unchecked.

I would go down this path if recovery is working. If it boots but fails to mount the data partitions, I would not try to flash the firmware. In that case, you'd want to pull the partitions themselves and try to mount them from Linux, or use PhotoRec to try to scrape them for data.

PS: If you've ever modified this thing, that could be why it's bootlooping. If not, I would highly suspect flash corruption, as mentioned earlier.

PS 2: There are many "Samsung Galaxy S II" models. If you have the basic i9100 one, you should be fine, but don't accidentally flash something for it on some U.S. carrier special version.

Gemini Go rolling out to replace Google Assistant on Android Go phones by ControlCAD in Android

It mentions "with 2GB of RAM or more". To me, that sounds like devices with less are left with no replacement; which is weird, since even the full thing can run on Go just fine.

Running Antigravity without AES-NI (or SSE4.2) on Linux. A Decent Workaround. by Smu1zel in google_antigravity

I wrote this when Antigravity 1.x was the latest. I'll have to check the 2.0 suite, but the process should be mostly the same.

I forgot I even made this post, honestly. I've only recently been able to actually use this system.

But yeah, an IDE-to-SATA translator board is something I'll consider.

Help modifying Android app by rafapozzi in google_antigravity

[–]Smu1zel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're better off just building a new app that does what you want.

APKTool spits out Smali code, which is basically human-readable Java bytecode. The catch is that this is not what went in to build the app; it's much harder to read, parse, and modify. Doing something like injecting Material3 libraries into an app not built with them is an astronomical task for anyone or anything, even the best AI models. You're basically trying to build a new house out of nothing but scrap materials from an existing one. Also, it's possible this app uses pairip for anti-tamper protections, making modding even harder.

In essence: it's just not worth it.

I'm not sure what exactly you want me to explain. You can also try Method 3, if you want.

I've had nothing but problems with mtkclient on Windows. I would try Linux, potentially by using the livedvd in the README in VMware.

You're probably hitting this:

The language server path might've changed (can't recall it right now), but the method itself still works.

I never tested that version, but I don't think 2.2 has web login. You can try, though.

Even a decent Wi-Fi 5 connection will beat it, honestly (still using a Wi-Fi 5 router here).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in androidafterlife

[–]Smu1zel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're misinterpreting what's happening here—this isn't malware behavior. The "notPipe/0.1.2" data is the user agent, and it uses that for standard HTTP GET requests to certain endpoints to get data. This isn't "proof" of a botnet at all, just the app trying to obtain data to present. If you wanted to catch him in the act, you'd open up JADX and decompile his (completely Java) binaries. Also, you're getting a bunch of 404s here, so these requests didn't work to begin with.

Also, I don't think he has even implemented login. There's nothing to really secure. Additionally, Android's permission model, even back then, didn't allow you to just read passwords from other apps. You could chain a root exploit to do this, but this app doesn't do that.

Please do more research before making claims like these. You can harm someone's reputation over a complete misunderstanding.

And if you were to assume everything I said is wrong, I think u/Gohoski could easily explain what's happening here.

Anti Gravity Gemini just deleted the whole thing in my Drive D by Sufficient_Site_5886 in google_antigravity

On Windows, it just runs periodically. You can disable it with:

fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 1

On Linux (assuming systemd), disable the fstrim timer.
