Persistent app running in background

Running VPN in background and that irritating power notification won't go away and I don't want to block notification from Android system.
I am rooted and new to Oreo and Motorola so what do I need to do to stop that notification?

I only found a way using an app. This one is decent and open source. Luckily in Oreo 8.1 you can hide those notifications natively. So if you're on Tmo or Sprint and feel adventurous check out Aosip, it's 8.1, runs like a champ, and isn't bloated.

I was actually considering that rom. Thanks for the link, the z2 has some really bad bugs in sms that drive me insane so I'm welcoming the change in roms.

Not anything that isn't listed in the bug section, which honestly doesn't affect me much anyway. I'm on TMO so LTE works fine for me, and I think they might have a handle on it for Sprint users. I like the rom, and I'm anxious for an update honestly. I just installed the Pantheon kernel on top of that. Considering that when my phone was stock I had random reboots for no apparent reason, and wifi connectivity drops as well, Aosip solved those issues. I'm quite happy with the whole setup now.

Are you on TMO or Sprint? Did you flash the 27.1 prep zip?

I am tmo and I was already on the 27.1 stock cause I had to flash it cause I lost imei and baseband.
After flashing the aosip zip, it said completed in twrp and then said "no os installed do you want to reboot" and I hit yes thinking worse case I could boot into twrp and start over thinking maybe the aosip was wonky and maybe not showing an os if there was one.
Tbh the phone was giving me hell with numerous things like Bluetooth would refuse to play through the bt headphones and starting the same day, it would not turn off speaker phone on calls.
I am nervous but I really want to flash this but I don't want a brick again either

The prep zip is down towards the bottom of the OP in the Aosip thread, also in post #2 it is a must in order to flash Aosip. If you didn't flash that, regardless of whether you were on stock 27.1 then that is where you went wrong.

Thanks, it actually looks like I missed 2 steps, including the fastboot -w. I've never installed any aosp rooms so I guess I'll chalk this up to a learning experience.

Lineage OS on A2 lite?

Is it possibleto flash the Lineage treble rom to mi A2 lite?

I still didn't tried this (I must search for a spare phone to use while experimenting with daisy) but you can precede me, simply reset your phone and flash via fastboot with
Code:
fastboot flash system lineagetreblerom.img
You must use the A/B image type.
If something goes wrong you can flash the stock firmware.

As far as i understood treble, it is only the vendor partition which is not flashed. So you would still need a LOS compatible kernel to flash (or you are lucky and the original kernel works). Also, LOS needs to be adjusted for specific things on this phone (like resolution, dpi, options to show up in settings, avaiable ram/storage, etc).
So we have to wait until xiaomi or a proper dev releases a kernel source. It would probably also be possible to adjust the build environment to fit the original kernel.
Or did i understand sth wrong here?
edit:
Flashing GSI's should work, it is a nice way to have another rom with more features on the device, but it is not a homebuilt n optimized rom (probably similar perf/battery to stock).

treble gsi rom don't need the vendor partition that's what makes treble great . you just flash the gsi rom into system on a treble compatible device

Hi
sgi ab images works (does not handle well rounded corners as icons are a bit near corners) but works

lineage booted. I will test and report
Both Lineage and RR boots but they are laggy. Camera quality is quite bad.
Both can be used as daily drivers

It's impossible to have other colors on mi a2, as the phisical LED is only white, not rgb

Thanks.
EDIT:Using TWRP i formated data and now the phone looks like its back to normal(stock) if someone can help me root it i will be extremly happy

managed to make root work but a problem appeared:unable to use samsung account,unable to use any other type of lock screen type except swipe,andafter i instaled youtube vanced using magisk repozitory the phone entered again in the lock screen loop.i think its something about the kernel i used(elementalX 2.08) or the no verity version using 1.0.
I will look trough the forum for other versions and i will try to flash them.i will also try to flash a new rom,maybe thats the problem.

The ROM is probably the problem for you. Because now knox is tripped for you many samsung and other services dont work anymore for you on pure vanilla stock. If you like oneUI maybe try out a few roms, they are better than stock. There is also a growing AOSP ROM community, there is a group on telegram you should check out.

none of the issues detailed in this thread make any sense. If a g965f is bootlooping after an attempt at rooting it, whatever was done in that attempt obviously failed and nothing in this thread really explains why, which mostly seems to be due to the lack of info from the OP and who all has participated thus far. We have no idea what baseband the OP is on, what version of TWRP they used, what version of Odin. We are lucky to know its a 965f so far...

a great deal of the devs that make the android community great all hang out here and share their contributions first on here, but you will find that certain phones on this site get far more attention than others, and the S9 area is a sad sad shell of what xda used to be. The reason im replying to your post at all is because xda is not the only place one can go to get good info on phones, but it is a reasonable place to put your trust if youre unfamiliar with the myriad of other sites specifically devoted to android and the users that avoid XDA for one reason or another. Try talking about any pay services on here or anything to do with "software of the illegitimate variety"

Can anyone flash twrp into S9 Android 10 (Snapdragon)?

My phone is a japanese variant, Docomo. Now the latest version is oneUI 2.1. I have tried to flash both twrp 3.5.0 and twrp 3.4.0 into the phone. Then I formatted the data and succeeded. However, if I restarted the system, it was stuck in the warning page all the time and can't enter into the homepage.
I have only seen several ways to flash twrp based on oneUI 2.5. Can anyone help me? Very appreciate.

Still waiting for you

Maybe you need to flash a custom rom or so

It may be possible to force installation in download mode with the warning page displayed. Roms can be found quite a few different places. If something is not working properly, please do a factory reset.

I've tried several times, but all failed.

Docomo's device is a malicious creation of a Japanese original. What appears to be a working custom ROM was mainly in China. But a closed place. I was tormented by the few that even worked on my DOOCMO S8.

I will try to find a way to do this for Galaxy 9.

Question Touchscreen not working

Hi, recently I got this a32 from a friend because my phone is broken, but there's a problem. Some time ago she updated this phone from android 11 to 12 and the touchscreen completely stopped working, i got the phone yesterday hoping to fix this problem but i updated to android 13 (oneui 5.1) and it still doesnt work, i tried do downgrade to android 11 but its impossible and for last i tried to install twrp and then a gsi (following a guide here on the forum), i noticed that in twrp the touchscreen does actually work but after installing lineage os 20 it didn't again, is there any hope for this phone?

We couldn't provide support for the hardware, mostly because you said that you've tried to reset the device and flash the stock ROM again.
If this doesn't fix the hardware issue, the assistance is the only way.
Probably a failure batch etc.

to be completely honest i flashed the stock rom by a backup i did before flashing lineage os, so if there's a guide on how to flash one ui 5.1 in order to have a clean installation it would be rlly helpful

Simply download the latest firmware from SamLoader (Bifrost) and use Odin in order to flash it.
Tell me if you couldn't flash

I tried installing the latest firmware with odin, everything went fine but nothing, touch still doesn't work, i think tomorrow i'll take it to someone to fix it.

what model of a32 is it? SM-A325F or??
One ui 5.1 firmware cannot be downgraded. I currently daily drive crdroid from nazim on one ui 5.1 firmware. my touch has never had issues. May be a hardware issue. Maybe a custom kernel would solve it. I built one for A325F that works on one ui 5.1 firmware. Give it a try from here. Its permissive btw. Just flash it in twrp. Although take a backup of boot before flashing incase something goes wrong

The problem is that after flashing it goes in a bootloop where it says that "this phone's bootloader is unlocked, press power button" i do it and it starts the galaxy logo with above the writing "the software you are using isnt official, you may have problems with security and features" and it gets stuck there, rn i flashed the original firmware with odin and the phone is working but touch still isn't.
EDIT: i forgot to add that when i flashed with odin everything was going fine until the phone's screen went from green to red, i've never seen this so idk if i should be worried or not (phone is still running normally).

Just flash twrp for this thing from here. Follow steps on that thread to decrypt your storage and stuff. Then download crdroid gsi. Extract it. flash img file to system partition in twrp. Afterwards wipe dalvik, cache, internal storage
(internal storage is not necessary). You should be able to boot into twrp sucessfully.
I also have some workarounds and the stuff i use for my daily driving in this thread here.

Oh um i am sorry looks like thread doesnt contain instructions to that. I'll write em here myself
When you boot into twrp after flashing go to advanced and go to terminal
type
multidisabler
run it two times. Then go to format. Then press format data and type yes. Once its done reboot back into twrp again. Then flash crdroid as i said in my post above. and format the things i said. you should be able to boot into crdroid normally.

So uh looks like you have no options left. I just want to make sure. could you list the exact methods you used to flash the fw. Along with where u got the fw from? Lets see if the fw itself is broken or something.
Also this is very unrelated and time wasting. but you could try download one ui 5 firmware. Then extract super.img from ap. unsparse it and extract vendor.img and flash it to vendor partition using twrp. Then decrypt by typing
multidisabler twice in terminal as said in my previous post. Check if maybe an older version one ui 5 firmware has this issue fixed. one ui 5's kernel boots so one ui 5 vendor should work on 5.1 as well. It may not work but worth a try. you could also try doing this with android 12 firmware if that fixes it. if you do not have a linux machine availible i'll do it for you and upload the files for both firmwares here. Otherwise if its a hardware issue get your phone replaced or try getting the screen replaced. if still nothing happens ig switching to a new phone would be the only optiion.

So, to flash the firmware I used odin, the fw was from sammobile.
For trying to extract super.img and so on idk how to actually do it so if you could explain it would be really helpful. Btw trying to flash android 12 firmware is impossible because samsung made it so,
thank you again for the help.

i use samfw mostly for my firmwares. anyways. You need a linux machine nearby. ubuntu or arch. any distro based on them would work.
first you need to unsparse the super.img
for that we use
simg2img super.img super-raw.img
then we can use lpunpack or mount it to get our vendor.
we flash it using twrp and then we run multidisabler twice like we did when we first flashed gsi.

As you said above if you could do it for me it'd be awesome because i don't have a pc with linux rn.
