KernelSU module for /product partition
I own a Pixel 8 Pro which runs EvolutionX ROM;
I also rooted it with KernelSU.
Now I would make a module that replaces some UI sounds.
I noticed that these sounds are placed in
/product/media/audio/ui

I used this template
https://github.com/symbuzzer/MMT-Extended-Next

and made the previously mentioned directory structure, in the root of the zip file, but nothing changed.
I also tried to put that structure inside the system folder of the zip, with no luck.
What also do I need to try to make it work?

"App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone" when installing APKs on Android 14
I have an APK of Unlimited Call Log 3.1.1, but I am unable to install it on Samsung Galaxy S24+ running Android 14. When I tried to install it, an error comes:

App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone.

Can anyone help to solve this issue or upgrade to new Android level?

Note that the link may describe the app, but the download doesn't work.

The app is very old and therefore most likely uses a targetSDK value that is no longer allowed on Android 14:
Android 14 blocks Apps developed for Android 5 and before
Android 14 has introduced a new security restriction that disallows apps that have a targetSDK of 23 or lower (app that have been developed for Android prior to Android 6).

Starting with Android 14, apps with a targetSdkVersion lower than 23 can't be installed. Requiring apps to meet these minimum target API level requirements improves security and privacy for users.

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-changes-all#minimum-target-api-level
That means if you want to continue to use the app you need an updated version with an increased targetSDK version. In addition this may require additional changes to the code of the app as restrictions may apply if the targetSDK is increased.
Modifying targetSDK value
I don't know if the app you use would require code changes. If it is just the targetSDK, then you could try to decompile the app using apktool, set the targetSDK to 23, recompile it, zipalign and apksign it. The modified APK should be installable on Android 14, however if it still works I don't know. But you can try it yourself.

The app's web page says it's for Android 4.0.3 upwards, so the targetSDK hypothesis looks very plausible.

I use apk editor and edit manifest.xml and .yml and there i change target sdk from 19 to 34, but still problem not solved and showing same error not compatible.  Can any developer download apk and make this compatible.  I no knowledge of programming at all.

@Lifeline There are other reasons why the app is not compatible. For example recent Android devices are pure 64bit devices (armv64-v8a). As the app is so old it may contain 32bit (armv7-a) code. Install the app via adb install and you will get a meaningful error message describing why the app can not be installed.

@robert thanks for reply and guidance.  Today i email developer and request to upgrade app and make compatible to android 14. Let's see what they does. Still did not get any reply.  They last updated 2019. Lets see...

You may be able to sideload the apk with
adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block "apk-path"

This is from an Android developer page, I have not tried it. But it might give you a clearer error message.

Not sure if really a new adb version is necessary. It seems that adb simply passes the install options to pm which is executed on the device.

@Robert: OK, removed.

How to resize container in Microsoft One Note Android app
I want to resize a text container on Microsoft One Note android app. How can I do it?

The text container resizing function exist in the app but its hidden. But I found a trick to use it.

Click the plus icon and add ink drawing to your note.
Draw a short line and click the X icon and close the drawing mode.
Click the text you want to resize. The container borders should be visible now.
At the top of the container hold left or right arrow icons and swipe to left or to right to resize.

If you want to hide borders, use eraser to delete the drawing. After that container borders should be invisible again

Problem to Flash Chinesse Tablet MT6580
I have problems flashing the firmware of a tablet with Mt6580, I am using SP flash tools and Betools.
The problem is that the flashing runs normally and ends without problems, but the tablet does not turn on. When reading the Region EMMC_USER with The SP flash tool, it is empty. However, the EMMC_BOOT region is the only one that is written and is where the preloader.bin is loaded, but the rest of the files are not written.
What could it be that the EMMC_USER region is not written?

How to emoji react in SMS to iPhone users in Google Messages
I've tried searching online but haven't found an answer but is there any way to emoji react to SMS messages (Samsung Galaxy A53) on messages sent from iPhone users?
They are able to add emoji reactions to my messages yet I cannot do the same back.
I can to messages from some other contacts though, presumably those with Android devices.
I am using Google Messages and have all of the RCS chats enabled and verified.

Apple iPhones do not yet support RCS (Apple has just announced that the plan to support it). So most likely they are sending a simple SMS with the emoji and your messaging app converts that to an emoji reaction.

Related: Google Messages Support - Google Messages emoji reactions to iPhone messages?

@Robert I think they are able to actually react to the message with an emoji on iPhone rather than sending an emoji in a SMS reply...

@AndrewT. so it basically isn't possible then still it sounds like...?

To my knowledge the RCS integration into iOS iMessage app is still not public (if it yet works at all). Therefore Apple users can send SMS, MMS and iMessage. Android users can not receive iMessage thus only the other two remain to transmit the "emoji reactions".

Looks like it's still not possible, and looks like it's actually a "hack" done by Google (and Apple) as long as RCS is not supported on Apple. Related news: Google Messages has started letting some users react with any emoji, "'[emoji] to [message]' texts". Related option: Add reactions to messages, "Show iPhone reactions as texts".

Okay thanks for both your help on this.

Telefon app searches only by surname
In the phone app of a xiaomi redmi note 12 pro the result is only filtered by Lastname. The First name is not used. Whe I search for Do the results only show John Doe but not Don S Davis. The contacts are stored in the Google account.
In the google contacts app the filter is working.
The phone app com.google.android.dialer is in version 123.0.605723773 is the problem.
I removed all data and the Cache from the app. Restarted the device. Removed and added the contacts. Updated to the recent Android version 14 UP1A.231005.007.

How to use only half of my android screen by default
Context: I wanted to reduce my screen time.  I have been using my phone in grayscale and it helps. The other thing I used to do was put my samsung phone in ultra power saving mode which would only let me use only 8 apps but this features was removed in the latest update.
So I was looking at dumb phones or features phones but I don't want to  miss out on the core apps like maps, Spotify, whatsapp, and a good camera.
I came across xiaomi's duoqin f22 which is an android phone with t9 physical keyboard and it was perfect for what I was looking for.  Not letting go android but very small screen size and physical keyboard.
But before making that purchase I wanted to see if there is a way to make my existing android phone Samsung A52 to use only top half the screen by default for all my apps. The bottom half can be a keyboard that is open all the time maybe.
I would like to know if this is achievable without root or crazy mods. Thank you :)

Rotate touch input on android
Is there a way I can edit touch input on android? The best way i can explain it is I want to rotate my touch inputs by (-1°). Without the display actually being rotated. This is a feature that ive been begging for a developer to put in a certain game but since its nearly impossible im looking for a work around by doing it on my device.  From what I've researched is only possible by editing build.prop. which is only accessible with root. Is there any way for me to achieve this on my device?

How can I make link to windows unlock my phone?
As the title says, I want to be able to use Phone Link from my windows 10 pro laptop and screen my phone without having to unlock the phone, as this defeats the purpose. I already used adb to give link to windows access to always screen my phone so I dont have to get up to go to my phone to press allow recording. Im using a samsung s23u, running android 14, oneui6

Associating Android phone to Telegram web, where is Devices section in the Telegram app?
I am trying to associate the web version of Telegram, https://web.telegram.org/, with my phone. The instructions say to scan the QR code with three-lines menu in the Telegram app on the phone, and there Settings/Devices.
But under three-lines/Settings there is no item Devices.
Where do I find it? Any other way, such as eg. scanning the code  from another app, not from within the Telegram app if I can't find Devices there?

Aha, found it: three-lines menu (top left) / Settings / Privacy  and Security / Devices at the bottom of the top part of the list list. (5thitem from top.)

Mouse/keyboard not working with scrcpy, how to fix?
My Samsung Galaxy A24 phone used to work fine with my Windows 10  laptop via scrcpy.exe, on a USB-C cable. I did not change anything in the setup. Suddenly,  now scrcpy shows the phone's screen fine on the laptop's screen, but mouse clicks have no effect, both left-click and right-click.  How do I fix this? What I have tried is:

Restart the phone;
Pull out the USB cable cable and connect again.
Revoke USB debugging permissions;
Turn off and then on USB debugging. To no avail.

Still, mouse clicks do nothing, whereas the phone's screen is shown fine, and directly touching the phone's own screen with the finger works as expected.

What is the full output in the console? Do you use the latest version of scrcpy? (there are regular updates to adapt to Android changes)

check Developer options for "USB debugging (Security settings) Allow granting permissions and simulating input via USB debugging"

How can I create a video from an audio file and an image file(s)?
I have an audio file, and an image file (or several image files). How can I create a video that combine the audio and image files? For example, the audio file is a recording of reading a script, and the image file(s) is screenshot(s) of the script.

This sounds like what a video editing program does. Just be aware of our sister site: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/tour You may want to mention where the images are as Google Photos might be able to do what you want: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6128862?sjid=11010401790314884675-NA

I may want to mention that I can't access Google services until someone helps me climb over GFW.

Can anybody pinch-zoom a PDF document using external touchpad/trackpad on an Android TV box?
Android doesn't seem to support external touchpad (usb or wireless) pinch gesture for zooming in and out?
I tried a few external wireless keyboards with touchpads built-in, while the touchpad works for pinch on Mac and Windows, it didn't work for pinch-zooming on Android.
So my guess it's not possible. I use my Android TV box (BuzzTV box, Android 9) as an Android desktop for apps e.g. PDF reader.
Also tried using normal mouse, scroll wheel and ALT or CTRL or whatever combination it is typically..
I understand Android 14 has support for external keyboards but I don't see mentioned whether it also provides pinch zoom gestures for external touchpads. Not planning to upgrade the TV box yet.
To solve the external keyboard compatibility, there is an app called External Keyboard Helper for Android. That solves the keyboard issue.
But I can't find anything similar that would allow me to use pinch/zoom on external touchpad.
Some apps have support for keyboard shortcuts (Alt+leftButton+arrowRight/arrowLeft works for me), but most apps do not support this.
The issue is not related to this specific tv box. I tried other brands TV boxes and it is the same problem.
Is it a universal Android limitation?
UPDATE: Here I found some answer.. But I am still looking for a way to pinch zoom a PDF.  So I guess my question needs to be - is there any app for PDF that supports pinch and zoom natively on non-touchscreen pointing interfaces?
How to Pinch Zoom on device with no touchscreen, like an Android Stick?

Most combination keyboard and touchpad units don't actually tell Android about their touchpad (i.e. by reporting exactly where the user's fingers are, etc.). Instead they do their own gesture recognition and then send mouse input to Android instead. For example, they might report scroll wheel movements when you swipe with two fingers on the pad. This means that for those touchpads, you can't use any gestures that aren't programmed into the touchpad's firmware. It's likely that the keyboard/touchpad combos you tried are doing this.
You can tell that a touchpad is identifying itself properly (i.e. sending touch locations rather than mouse events) by doing the following:

On Android 9, when you make the pinch-zoom gesture on the touchpad you should see two white spots on the screen corresponding to the locations of your fingers.
On Android 14, connect your touchpad to the Android device and then go to Settings > System. You should see a section called "Touchpad".

If the touchpad identifies itself properly, then pinch-zoom gestures should work on either Android 9 or 14. Since you asked specifically about PDFs, I just tried pinch-zooming on the Apple Magic Trackpad (which does identify itself properly) with a PDF open in Firefox on Android 14, and it worked.

Kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/msm/adreno_dispatch.c
OnePlus 7T smartphone randomly freezes and rebooting.
Bootloader unlocked and rooted. Smartphone runs on Android 11, but the same behavior occurred on a purely installed Android 12. Often the error appears in moments related to graphics, such as rotating the screen, changing the screen in games (the appearance of a video screensaver, for example). This can happen from once a day to several times.
From the logs it is clear that this is somehow related to video drivers:

Any suggestions on how to fix this error? Or why might this be happening?

Such problems usually can not be fixed by end users. Often drivers like graphic drivers are only available as pre-compiled elements that can be integrated into a certain kernel version. If the mentioned source code is public or only available to paying manufacturer is unknown to me. Without source code understanding what a kernel driver is doing is already complicated. Fixing it requires advanced skills in reverse engineering and kernel debugging - you won't find much people that can do so. I don't know anybody.

The strangest thing for me is that I have had this smartphone for several years and for several of these years I have been using the same version of Android, the same applications. There was no such problem before. I assume this bug appeared with the update of some Google system applications? –

In that case there is another possibility: a hardware problem. The silicon chips degrades continuously when used, on atomic level "holes" can appear and grow. This decreased the maximum speed the transistor can switch power. If you now try to use the full power of the chip it struggles and the driver will crash.

"This account is not allowed to use WhatsApp due to spam" after registering with a new SIM card
I have recently upgraded my mobile to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I kept my old S21 Ultra, with the idea to use that for personal things and my new S24 Ultra for business.
I had WhatsApp Business, installed on my old mobile, linked to my old mobile number. I have since ordered a new SIM card, which I wanted to put in my old phone, to create a work-free SIM/number to use for personal, away from my work.
I factory reset my S21 Ultra, and when trying to register WhatsApp, it allows me through. As soon as I send one message, it immediately blocks the phone, saying "This account is not allowed to use WhatsApp due to spam" (chats are still on this device).
Despite factory reset, how do I permanently delete my old chats from old SIM/number so I can use WhatsApp on new SIM/number as hoped?

It sounds to me that new mobile number you have been assigned was previously assigned to someone whose account was blocked by Whatsapp.  And Whatsapp is linked to your mobile number.
It is quite common for providers to recycle the numbers (especially for landlines).
Try the new SIM on your S24, if it still has the same behaviour then you will need to obtain a different mobile number.
If you are unable to remove the chats on the old phone, put the old SIM in the old phone and remove the chats.  Note, they will then be gone permanently.  They are linked to your old SIM (number).  You will not be able to access them on te new phone either.

Realme C25 stuck at recovery mode, after online update it turn into bootloop
I am quite new to this kind of stuff.
I had this Realme C25 for relatively 2 years and a half.
For the past 2 weeks, somehow my volume down button doesn't respond at all but the physical button is still intact and doesn't seem to have any problems.
I let it slide until 2 days ago, my power button had the same issue as my volume down button.
I have enabled my double-click to activate. I have installed an app to turn up/turn down the volume and a power app to close my phone.
Because I remember it's been a long time since I restarted my phone, I restarted my phone with no alert in mind. But I was stuck at UI RECOVERY MODE, even after I powered it off and rebooted my phone, I was thrown into the UI RECOVERY MODE again.
Somehow the power button is working again.
I was tired at that time and decided to take a sleep while hoping my phone would run out of battery so I didn't accidentally wipe off my data.
Just now, in an MTCNA exam, I chose the install from online or something like that because some of my friends said "It seems a lot like the OS is kinda broken" and of course, I thought that's quite a way to put it.  I can use the mikrotik to optimize my phone connection so I did that. Afterward, I was hit by a full-blown BOOTLOOP in my head.
I could take it to the pro but since I am into networking and computer classes, I want to fix it by myself to take a knowledge or so (really bad move).
Since the volume down didn't seem to respond, and there is nothing to worry about losing my data on that phone (most of them are not that important and easy to get them), I want to know if there is a way to fix it.

Incoming calls from a contact are involuntarily blocked
Recently, I don't get any notifications about a call from a contact. The only thing I see is that the call has been blocked when I look into the caller list, see image.

Please not the  Icon under the call entry. I am not aware that I've block this contact nor can I see the number in the blocked contact. Is this an issue with Android? How can I fix this to get calls from this contact? On the other hand I can perfectly call this contact but the other way it does not work.
Google Android 14.

Go the settings of the phone app you use, there will be a category/section related to blocked contacts. It will list all blocked contacts. You can remove the contact from the list.

For me the following worked, I got back the calls from my contact. Though, I am not sure whether this is a bug. For the screenshots I've changed the language to English.
Going to "Settings" -> "Notifications" -> (General) "Do Not Disturb" -> "People", I have set my contact to be the person that can interrupt me.
After I've removed

The thing I've changed was to set from "Starred contact" to "Anyone". This solved my issue and I could answer calls from my contact.

By the look of your image, you are using Google's Phone app.

Press the 3-dot, then Settings.
On the General section, select "Blocked numbers".
All blocked numbers will be listed. Unselect the number(s) that you mustn't be blocked.

Or

Press on the contact's name. A menu should appear showing: "Send a message", "Unblock", "Call details".
Select "Unblock".

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, it's Google's Phone app. I've already checked that "Blocked numbers" section but this list is empty. Your second suggestions shows also that the contact isn't blocked, i.e. this gives me only the opportunity to block this contact.

So the app is showing that the contact is blocked on the history, but it is not on the blocked list?

Yes, it seems like that: in the caller list (screenshot) the contact has this  icon which I interpret as blocked. But the contact does not appear in the blocked numbers list.

What do you see when you press on "Call details"? Does it show the contact's number or not?

Yes, in that case I see the number. I am not aware of any changes I've done on the phone. Though, I haven't tried that others call me. Whether only this number is blocked or all calls

In addition to Google's application, I would check both the OEM's phone application as well as the carrier's.
A few additional things to note:

The carrier's app may not necessarily be installed on the device but can still be actively blocking calls; for example, T-Mobile default deployment has certain phone numbers, e.g., incarceration facilities or the District Attorney's office, actively blocked out-the-box.  You also don't technically need to use the application for the carrier side, as you can manage everything through MMI codes as well.
I've experienced some buggy behavior with OEM blocking before, and what I found to work reliably was to explicitly define high-value numbers in whitelist (in addition to checking they aren't on blacklist).  Depending on the OEM, this may be referred to as Favorites, VIP's, Allowlist, etc.

Website links on home screen disappeared after device reboot
I saved websites to my home screen on my phone. But for whatever reason, every time I update, it erases those websites that I save on my phone.
Earlier today, I restarted my phone. When I restarted it, this happened.
I need to save my websites there, as I can't remember them. But every time I try, they disappear.
How can I get them back? If it's relevant, it's a phone from Cricket Wireless.

Web site icons are additional links to the web browser you use to create them. They actually "belong" to the web browser. If you clear app data of the web browser this will erase also all saved web site icons. have you executed app data clear on the used web browser (I assume you use Chrome)?

Welcome to the site. This question is tagged with "Motorola Moto G". Just to make sure, is your phone Moto G? Just FYI, this site is only about Android OS, legal questions are off-topic here.

I have been using my browser "bookmarks" to provide the easiest way to manage my links.
I have tried many different browsers bur I have to say the duck duck go browser does all I need.
I use it for this purpose in the following way.
When I brows the web sites and I want to have instant access later.
Open duck duck
Find your required web page.
Tap the top three dot menu.
Choose save bookmark.
(If a save to favourites) Pops up at the bottom of your screen then tap it.
If it doesn't then tap the three dot menu again and tap "bookmarks".
When the bookmarks list opens up you can tap the menu to the side of each bookmark and choose add to favourites (or remove from favourites). That's it.
Now everytime you open your browser the favourites you have set will all be showing as an instant link to your favourite pages.

Google PIxel 7 suddenly "dead" - no dropped, no water damage, etc
I have a Google Pixel 7, in good overall condition, working as my daily phone and I was using it just this morning. About an hour later it was totally dead.
To the best of my knowledge, not dropped, no water damage, no sudden shock to it. I plugged the USB calble in from my normal high wattage charger to check the battery isn't dead, but nothing on the screen, no vibration feedback at all.
The phone was in a large metal/rubber protective case as well. I've since removed the case to inspect the phone itself for damage, but everything seems visibly fine. The phone isn't hot, or even warm, etc.
I'm don't want to lose the photos and documents on the internal storage (they're not backed up recently), so I'm worried that a hard reset would loose these.
Do you have any other options you could suggest?

Okay, almost as suddenly as it stopped working, it's now working again. I did do a soft reset (Power + Volume down for 15 seconds) but it hadn't seemed to do anything. I'm just greatful that it's working again.

Unmountable System Partition Issue (TWRP)
I'm currently in the throes of a complex issue with my Android device (Phone Model: [Micromax Canvas Juice 2], Recovery: TWRP 3.0). I've exhausted several troubleshooting steps, and here's a detailed breakdown:

Root Problem:

The system partition is unmountable, leading to a persistent "System not mounted" error during recovery attempts.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Utilized TWRP terminal to create a new system partition, aiming to restore from a comprehensive backup stored on an SD card.
Faced challenges with the manual partition creation, including uncertainty about the consequences of deleting the unmountable system partition.

Specific Questions and Concerns:

What are the potential risks and consequences of deleting the unmountable system partition?
Seeking detailed guidance on whether to proceed with deletion or opt for creating a new partition manually.

Additional Context:

The device is an older model running Android 5, and it's been a formidable challenge due to the lack of manufacturer support.

Request for Expert Advice:

If anyone has navigated a similar issue with TWRP and Android partitions, your insights would be invaluable.
Detailed, step-by-step instructions or any creative solutions are highly appreciated.

Overall overview. The phone is stuck in a bootloop. Created TWRP backup of all partitions. Downloaded custom ROM, and followed instructions to wipe "system, Dalvik cache, cache, and data." Couldn't flash ROM due to the "System is not mounted (invalid argument)" error. Manual attempts to mount, decrypt, repair the file system, and change the system file type were unsuccessful. Considering manual deletion of system partition file in TWRP file manager or creating a new system partition using TWRP terminal.
