[Q] [GB] Bluetooth discoverable

How to make Bluetooth permanently discoverable for Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
I am using Stock Xperia Pro GB .69 with root access.

I'm not sure about GB but on ICS and JB there is a visibility timeout setting in a bluetooth settings screen. Go there and push a menu button.

Not possible due to security reasons.

Just because one phone manufacturer added it to its firmware, does not mean it is available on all phones.
Sony phones do not have such feature and most likely it will not be added due to security reasons.
Come on, you do not want someone to be hacking your phone via Bluetooth without your knowledge, do you?

What are security reasons, It is already available in ICS and JB. Is there no security? And there is option to switch off the Bluetooth, so when needed I can switch off that, no need to make mobile discovery off.
If you don't know the solution, then stop giving this type of answers.

Well a noob can hack to your or my phone via bluetooth,it's very easy,one click,and how many times did you forgot to turn it off???I was looking for something like this once,but when my friend got hacked i stopped...Thats the security and i don't think that Stock ICS has a turn visibility on for perment.Bit i'm sure its impossible to get it on GB...

The thing is, that there is currently no solution for Sony or Sony Ericsson phones.

Sony Music App(Unlocked)

Sony Music App version 9.3.11 (with Walkman Logo)
That you can install like any other Normal app for any device running Android 4.2 and above. Root or No Root.
I have just made only one change that is removing the restrictions for compatible devices and unlocked it for all devices, there might be some bug for certain features that might not be supported on every device, but it works. I will update more apps that we all can use, even for unrooted devices. just don't ask for ETA's I am not that much in development actively.
Enjoy.
Download here
Although there is another thread for this app here which I saw just after creating this post and a better one than mine. So I will port and post some other apps that works on our devices.
You can also try these apps that I posted on other thread here. works on unrooted devices as well.

No, for un-rooted device apart from sony.
for rooted users, that is possible for any device, but can't guarantee, until I or someone else tests it on Mi A1.

Without Root, not available for anyone apart from Sony. Need build.prop edits as well as other things on the system partition for it to work for the port.

None taken and as much as I love to have all the options open for an android device, I have to keep this device unrooted.(I have 6 other devices in my home and all of them are rooted except this one), so for now, it's my 1 percent to the A1 community.

[8.1] [Magisk Module] Multi-Touch Fix for 8.1 Devices

Hello guys and girls,
As some of you already know Android 8.1 suffers from a severe Multi-Touch Issue. This issues makes the smartphone randomly jumping between the two touching points on the screen when touching with two or more fingers.
The issue is known to google since the preview of 8.1. It isn´t only affecting pixel but most probably all devices running 8.1. The issue is also present on P.
An issue got created here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70344455
There is a fix since mid march in review on google gerrit. But that didn´t make it into the april release, obviously.
To visualize the issue refer to the following videos:
https://youtu.be/wgYN5GwIgIc
https://youtu.be/2Vv584tvVyg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dnIk_5qdK8&feature=youtu.be
This is especially bad for gamers. With the recent release of PUBG this issues seems dramatic to some, less to others.
I´m no gamer but I noticed the issue on the google foto app.
This issue has nothing to do with the corners badly reacting to touches, or touch sensitivity etc.
So but now to the fix. It seems the issues is only related to resampling but not to touching specific points of the screen ( not related to crossing x and y axis).
That also explains why the issue wasn´t happening when using the touch tracking tool in dev settings but on various multi touch test apps.
The fix is on google gerrit currently under review here:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/native/+/640605
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/native/+/640606
Last week I compiled myself a DU build with the changes included and I couldn´t trigger the issue at all. I found no other side effects caused by the two patches.
For now I decided to provide a Magisk Module which replaces the changed libs that fixes the issue.
I compiled the libs while doing my april build of DU. The magisk module can be found on the link a little bit down.
The download is here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595755
A few disclaimers here.
1. That fix should in theory work for most 8.1 devices, including the likes of pixel 1st gen, pixel 2nd gen, one plus, xiaomi which suffer from this severe issue.
It seems devices with oos on 8.1 ( op5/t) cannot use this mod.
AOSP and LOS roms should be okay.
2. I didn´t fix this, I just compiled the libs with the fix found on google gerrit.
3. Rom devs you are very welcome to include this fix. I found no ill consequences as of yet but I can understand google taking it slow and reviewing it longer. Maybe they will find a better fix, but as of now this is the best thing we have.

Donations are not mandatory but very welcome.

This causes a bootloop on P DP1.

Thanks for the report.
can anyone confirm this?
In the meantime i removed the p tag from the thread title.
Could be That there are additional changes in p that make this libs unusable and only workable on 8.1.
Unfortunately there is afaik no complete source for p yet. So I can’t compile them specifically for p.

Fixed for me!! I only ever noticed the issue when pinch/zooming images on Instagram.. it's gone! Using the April update of 8.1 ... Thanks!!!

I can't replicate this problem, but good to know that there's a fix if I ever experience it.

I'm a beginner at this.But when I tried to install it via magisk manager,I get this error.What are the correct installation steps to flash a magisk module?
Thanks

I never had this issue but it's good to know there's a fix..I'm on the p preview so I'm not sure if I will ever have this issue and no one reported it in my builds but I will include the fix anyways that way no one has to do anything. Good catch

I also thought at first I didn’t have this issue at all.
But once I triggered it accidentally I experienced it many times. Maybe I just learnt what to look for.
Another fun thing is. A friend of mine also got the pixel XL 2 and I could reproduce it right away on his locked phone which is stock 8.1.
I can also trigger it on my pixel C tablet.

That is really weird, because even when I quoted you, then hit "preview post" to see what it would look like, it still didn't work inside the quote.

Kudos to you,
Previosly my device has a bad touch pressure sensitivity along the edge, and in certain spot, it wont even register the touch,
Now it all fixed.
The corner two still has less sensitivity, but previously all edge zone were patchy, full of red zone.
And considering am using full cover glass protector. This is amazing work !

What app did you use for that test?

I've experienced lack of touch response quite often. It's weird and seemingly random. I just flashed this on 8.1 with magisk. I don't have any results yet, but based on what everyone else is saying, this is a solid fix. Thanks for your work!
Do we have to worry about removing this in the future if google updates fix the issue too? Will this being on the system cause conflicts and issues?

Project Treble

Hey, just a discussion. A50 comes with android 9.0 pie. And Treble Check app In Playstore shows A only option. So its supported. But anyone tried it yet?
Pls let me know as I dont want to risk my phone.

Hey mate,
Treble with Samsung is always a bit icky in my experience. Personally, don't try it yet.
The A50 has a Pie vendor, and yes, it does have Treble. Every phone shipped with an OS past 8.0 will have it. I had this convo on Telegram, I say it's best to wait, or if you're curious, try one of phh's GSI's. Pixel Experience would best work on the A50 with it's own device tree, which as far as this has been posted, isn't available. It's a waiting game.
As I say to a lot of people, if you bought a new Samsung to enjoy AOSP, you bought the wrong phone.

Yeah you're right. But I like stock android. I would've installed it but I'm scared it won't support the in display fingerprint and face unlock and various things.

I understand, and I do too. For in display fingerprint to work, you'll need the tree and a rom that can support it. Face unlock, iris unlock and others are lost due to lack of Google support.

General Sailfish OS for Xperia 10 III

Xperia 10 III is now officially supported by Sailfish OS: https://blog.jolla.com/xperia-10-iii/
From Wikipedia:
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on free software, and open source projects such as Mer as well as including a closed source UI. The project is being developed by the Finnish company Jolla.

Anyone in here tried it yet?

I've bought my license and am trying to get this going - I've been unable to use the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader, which I assumed was due to the Android version being 12, and I'm now struggling to downgrade this to 11 as it seems all the tools for doing so are Windows only.
Has anyone done this process on Linux successfully? I understand some people on the Sailfish forums have managed to get it to flash over an Android 12 base but I can't even get to that stage because of the OEM unlock command failing.
Really looking forward to going back to Sailfish after a bit of a hiatus though!

According to its readme file, Newflasher runs on Linux too: https://github.com/munjeni/newflasher
So I think it should be possible to flash an Android 11-based firmware from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/stock-firmware-backups.4382229/ using this tool. But I never used it (neither on Windows nor on Linux) so I can't say for sure whether that works.
As for the issue with unlocking your bootloader, at the risk of stating the obvious, did you enable "OEM unlocking" in developer options?

Ha! Yes I did do all the required steps. I found an Android 11-based build on the Sailfish forums which worked, after doing it twice with Newflasher. Once this was done the OEM unlock command did its thing without a hiccup. Sailfish OS is now running nicely on the 10 III - hopefully Jolla are able to provide some more complete instructions for those who have managed to upgrade themselves into a documentation loop!

I've been using the X10III with Sailfish for several days now, and the experience is quite smooth. There is no green tint visible, but the "color space" gets really smashed and mangled in low light + low brightness situations... I think it's more or less the same bug. The best way to describe is that the dark areas of the screen are rendered with 8-bit color palette and way too high brightness. I created a bug report for it over at Sailfish OS Forum for those who wish to keep an eye on that.
There are three known issues: Camera API doesn't support the three back cameras (Camera2 API does support it, so it's very fixable), the indicator led is way too green (driver issue), and issues with noise cancellation during phone calls (seems to be fixed in git).
Despite the above, SFOS on X10III a hugely net positive! VoLTE works now - finally - so spring 2023 can now arrive (killing 3G here in Finland). 5G support is not there (yet?), which is a tiny bit unfortunate.
I didn't realize that the AOSP firmware is so far away from Android firmware... I somehow assumed before that they were the same... Oh well, live and learn.

I have a hard time understanding why it is necessary to repair a thing that is not broken?
VoLTE calls? Why? Today, almost every phone subscription includes if not all free, then at least thousands of minutes of free calls. In addition, there are available all sorts of apps that you can use for voice calling.
And in general, calling is the least used feature of the phone lately.

Why shouldn't I use what I already paid for?
But yes, phone calls are getting rarer; for me it's something between daily and weekly. But still, it's the official method to be reached, supported by pretty much every device, so why not just use it instead of apps.
Also, if I wanted to use only apps to talk with my friends, I'd have five chat apps installed, some of them analyzing me, and all of them draining my battery. No thanks...
But let's get back to topic. Does anyone know how to solve the color banding issue on AOSP?

Tell me, are there any battery charging settings in this OS? Android in Xperia 10 III has settings to limit charging to 80, 90% a very nice option.

I can't say anything about features built into the OS (as I've never used it), but I was able to find two 3rd party apps which let you limit the maximum battery charge level:
Battery Buddy | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System
openrepos.net
takimata / harbour-battery-charging-control · GitLab
SailfishOS application which allows to stop battery charging at user-defined levels.
