5. Unbricking
5.1) Gold Card
Since there is no wikipage about this, I'll quickly discribe how you can do this
1] Requirements:
- A working WM Device (used to obtain the microSD card's ID)
- The shipped stock rom your phone came with (Shipped Roms for HTC Touch Diamond 2)
- Qmat (Latest version of Qmat)
2] Format your SD card into FAT32:
- go into dos and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
3] Run Qmat to create a gold card:
- Put the formatted microSD card in the working WM device and connect via ActiveSync
- Run Qmat, Go to Hardware Forensics and select 'Generate HTC Goldcard'
- Select your bricked device's key
- Get the SD Card Serial from WINCE Device
- Save the Goldcard image to the SD Card
Now you have a SuperCID which allows you to flash any shipped ROM
4] Go into the bootloader with inserted goldcard and run the .exe from the Shipped rom
5.2) If all else fails, you can PM Cmonex she will make one for you
But perhaps, It's better if you first try yourself?
6. Dumping a ROM
This is basicly a backup of your ROM, Note that this does not backup any personal information on the phone
6.1) Dump Rom
7. CID Unlock your phone
This will allow you to flash ANY ROM with a different CID on your phone (e.g. Custom ROM)
7.1) HARDSPL, CID Unlock with overwrite protection
In this topic you also see how to remove the CID lock (if you want to send the phone back...)
Before you take any further steps, Please confirm that your device now has a HARDSPL, by going into the bootloader,
Then check the SPL it should say "1.33.OliNex"
7.2) Security Unlock
This is a security unlock tool that will remove the CID & SIM lock on your device
8. SIM Unlock your phone
8.1) Free SIM Unlocker for contributing XDA members
8.2) Commercial SIM Unlocker 1

This Topaz sticky links to a free unlocker for the HTC Touch.
Is this a fault or does it really work for the Topaz/TD2? HTC Touch SIM Unlocker (free)

Ah right. I wasn't sure, and thought there would be a lower risk of damaging devices if it wasn't there...
The newer unlocks (Diamond, Raphael etc) all flash a new radio to the device, which if using the wrong device/radio could break things.

- Sorry for the inactivity, I'm busy with exams & such -
And also thanks !Aman! your changes have been made aswell.
I'd just like to say a big big thankyou to the founders of xda-developers, all the chefs and cooks, all the app makers, the creators of threads like this one, and all the members who contribute thoes magic tweaks and offer advise to people who are stuck.
I am totally new to the world of Windows Mobile, and without you all, I wouldnt have had the first clue nevermind flashing and tweaking shenanigans.
Thanks guys.
glad you liked it
I have a permanent problem with all 6.5 versions and it's really weird.All 6.5 roms work very well when memory card is not inserted...but when I turn my Topaz off and insert the memory card. Albums/Camera/Music Player/File explorer and all concerning memory card freeze when I use them.
That is, when I try to launch Album for pictures on memory card, it freezes...same with Camera.....
I changed memory card, formatted with FAT32...but all in vain
I have no such problem with 6.1 roms
Any comments?
Hello,
I present my second Windows Mobile app:
SettingsExporter – I think the name is self-explaining. I tried to develop an easy to use application able to backup the vital system/user/programs settings and parameters to a .reg file, which enables the user to quickly restore the settings after a flash or HR.
Yes, we already have the fantastic fdcTaskManager from dotFred but this one exports either single registry key (with all the values and subkeys) or whole registry. My tool is able to store:
- single registry value
- several registry values in one key
- all the values of a key but without subkeys
- values which names start with a certain string
- values which names end with a certain string
- values containing certain string
- whole key with all subkeys/values
The last point is realized with a help of already mentioned fdcTaskManager under permission from dotFred (thank you Man!).
Program features/requirements:
- supports AppToDate
- requires NetCF 3.5 to be installed in your ROM.
- the app is partially dependent on the TaskManager from DotFred. A file called dotTaskMgr.exe should always be placed in program folder. Of course it is included in the download files.
- the program can run from any folder on both device memory or Storage Card. You don't even have to install it (that's why I included also a zip archive with all the files), you can just run it from the actual location. However the installation cab includes also program shortcuts (they appear in Start Menu) and files neccessary for AppToDate.
- REMARK: Because of .NetCF limitations the program cannot parse some of the value kinds, like REG_MUI or REG_QWORD however these types are used in so deep system settings that I wouldn’t even try to touch, so from this point of view they are not necessary for normal user customization purposes.
REMEMBER: never play with registry unless you know what you are doing. Always make backup of your data before you start to edit any registry values.
I spent many nights on testing this app and on choosing the settings worth exporting so everything should work fine (I made at least 10 flashes in the mean time and didn’t discover anything suspisious). However I cannot be held responsible for any damages to your ROM/device.
Below you can find my screenshots and download.
In following posts you can find also:
Program description - post #2
INI file syntax and notes - post #3
Description of default .ini files - post #4
How does it work?
Currently the SettingsExporter is basically a registry parser reading thru one (or more) of three config files (keys_....ini) in which the user puts keys/values that are supposed to be backed-up. For each line which is recognized as a registry value the program tries to gather it from the registry and writes to a (specified) text file as Microsoft Registry Entries (.reg) syntax. If the line is not recognized as a correct registry key/value or if it does not exist in the device’s registry, it is simply ignored.
Following the tip from Jackos (thanks Man!) there can be three config (.ini) files:
- keys_System.ini
- keys_Manila.ini
- keys_Other.ini
The user can choose to process one, two or all three .ini files. He can also choose if all the entries from the checked .ini files should be stored in one .reg file or the program should create one .reg file for each .ini file. This way we can divide our backup into groups and then restore them on different ROM (e.g. with different version of UI).
The main screen of the program consists of 5 main elements:
- “Current file path” text box with current path and name of the destination file. The path is initially set to \Storage Card\Backup\MyBackup.reg, but it can be changed either directly in this text box or using “Change File Name” button which opens the SaveFileDialog allowing you to choose a location and name for your destination file. Unfortunately the native .NetCF SaveFileDialog is poor and allows only to save in 2 folders depths, so this is the reason why I left the text box unlocked to allow manual editing of the path. Additionally when closing SettingsExporter saves last used path in registry so when you open it for the second time the initial path will be “yours”. This feature can be switched off in options.
- 3 checkboxes allowing you to choose which .ini files the app should process
- Save File button starting the Backup procedure
- Menu softkey allowing you to change the program options
- Exit softkey that (surprisingly) closes the application.
The Options screen (you can open it via Menu -> Options) is also very simple:
- Save all settings in one file – when you tap “Save File” all the .ini files which are “checked” in the main window will be processed and the effect will be saved in one file mentioned in the “Current file path” text box in the main window.
- Save in separate files – the “checked” .ini files will be processed but this time the effects will be stored in separate files. There will be separate destination files created basing on the same file name from the “Current file path” text box, but with appropriate suffix, so using the default MyBackup.reg file name, the destination files will be MyBackup_System.reg, MyBackup_Manila.reg, MyBackup_Other.reg.
- Backup previous output files – if any of the output (destination) files already exists it will be copied with “_old” suffix before writing new file.
- Associate Reg Files to fdcTM – this button associates the files with .reg extension to the fdcTaskManager which is located by default in the program directory. From this point on you can tap on a .reg file in File Explorer and it will be automatically imported to the registry. Use this function to easily restore your .reg files.
- Save last backup path – this option enables saving last used backup (destination) path upon program exit. Remember – the path is written to registry when you close the program. So if you configured the .ini file to store also SettingsExporter’s settings (stored in HKCU\Software\Skrobel\SettingsExporter) and you want to backup also this setting, you have to set the file path in the Main Window, then Exit the program (to write the path to registry) then open the program again and now you can press “Save File”.
ini files requirements
The .ini file should be a Unicode text file stored in the same folder that the program executable is stored. The names of the file must be exactly one of the names mentioned above (keys_System.ini, keys_Manila.ini, keys_Other.ini). Of course the “keys_Manila.ini” file is not reserved ONLY for values connected with Manila/HTC and the “keys_System.ini” doesn’t need to contain ONLY system settings. It’s my proposal for the entries grouping, but you can change the contents according to your own needs. Only leave the file names intact.
About the syntax:
I tried to make the syntax of these .ini files as simple as possible. So it’s really similar to the syntax of a normal .reg file, exctept it does not need a “REGEDIT4” nor “Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00” at the beginning and of course the values cannot be given next to the valuenames. Here are some examples of the content of an ini file:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIDCOMM\Connections]*
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
*
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSDeliveryNotify"
"SMSAvailable"
"SMSUnicode"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS]
actSync
auto
roaming
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA]
Manila://*
"Weather*"
*Co0kie*
*Enabled
And what does it mean?
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIDCOMM\Connections]*
It means that the specified key will be stored with all it’s values and subkeys (if there are any).
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
*
This one means that all the values under the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides] will be stored but without any subkeys.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSDeliveryNotify"
"SMSAvailable"
"SMSUnicode"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS]
actSync
auto
roaming
In these two cases only the mentioned values will be stored from the specified key.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA]
Manila://*
"Weather*"
*Co0kie*
*Enabled
And this is an example of using regular expressions.
Manila://* - means that all the values with names starting with “Manila://” will be saved
*Enabled - means that all the values with names ending with “Enabled” will be saved
*Co0kie* - means that all the values with names containing “Co0kie” will be saved
As you can see the quotes are ignored so you can put valuenames with or without them and it will not make any difference for the parser.
The current version of the program includes my .ini files that are a result of long and careful tests and save most of the configuration of WM6.5 and WM6.5.x. I created these .ini files on HTC Rhodium and different Jackos ROMs. Most of them should work on a variety of HTC devices, however I've already seen that many settings for HTC Kaiser is stored in different locations than on Rhodium. But as I wrote before: if a registry key/value mentioned in the .ini file is not found in the actual registry, it will not be stored in any form.
On the other hand some of the key names may not work or not exist on different devices/ROMs. Especially when you try to restore a bunch of settings taken from a Sense 2.5 ROM on a Titanium or CHome ROM, you should expect some problems. That’s where grouping comes in handy.
If you have ideas for other registry values which should be backed-up by default or settings for popular third party programs I don’t use, please share key/value names here with a short description of what the values mean. I will put them in the default .ini files so other users can benefit from them.
What settings are included in default .ini files
keys_System.ini
In this file I included many settins which are changed via standard Windows Mobile Control panel applets and a bit from Advanced Config:
- notifications settings (remember - when you restore these settings after a flash, you have to make sure your ringtones and sound files must be in the same places that they were during backup)
- locale/time zone information (no language specific settings, only message coding, date/time/number formats, locale and time zone)
- messaging settings like threading, delivery report, unicode etc.
- paired Bluetooth devices
- owner information
- volume settings
- screen off/suspend timeouts
- some phone/dialer settings
- Font size/Clear type
- basic ArcSoft MMS settings
- last used profile
- clock/alarm settings
- AGPS
- hardware button assignment (only Long Press Send Key on Rhodium)
- Long Press EndKey action
- some other settings like noise reduction, AGC, USB to PC and less important parameters

keys_Other.ini
In here I stored some of the third-party applications I use. Please propose other applications with their settings and I'll add them:
- PimBackup
- HTCAccountManager
- Palringo
- Total Commander
- RSS Hub
- SK Tools
- Spb Backup
- cleanRAM
- Skype
- ultrashot UTask
- Quick Shutdown
- QuickGPS
- Whip2Snap
- last but not least - own SettingsExporter settings

keys_Manila.ini
Manila has many versions with extremely different settings and behaviours so I tired to store ONLY the most basic settings which should work on all the manila versions (correct me if I am wrong):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA]
HomeBackgroundPath - self explaining
AnimationWallpaperFolder - default folder for "choose background" option
Home.WallpaperMode - setting connected to full screen weather animation
Manila://* - this allows to store the configuration of showed/hidden Sense tabs
"Weather*" - settings for Manila weather
Of course I could add here all CHT settings, but there are also different versions of CHT on the "market" so I personally prefer to use CHT Editor backup/restore functions than to try to make universal backup utility for Co0kie settings. But if you guys have some hints on this topic I appreciate any help.

this is post #5
post #6 just in case...
Congratulations on your release I'll try and report back soon!
Looks great.........
oh thanks a lot! i like to play a lot with co0kie home tab 2.0 and also with the registry so it will be very useful to save some lines of a reg key. In CHT 2.0 all setting are in hkcu/software/htc/manila/CHT.*** (also CHTE.*** and CHTI.***) and i would like to save registry setting like CHT.Tweaks.***
I will try and report back later. Thanks again!

Jackos, you always know something good to say.
Good morning Skrobel,
Once again thank you for taking the time to develop this application. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I had technical difficulties.
Following our recent conversation I'm posting below my findings about version 0.1 beta.
Pros:
Easy, intuitive UI
3 customizable registry patterns for different settings
A lot of 3-rd party software patterns
Thought-out set of settings
Cons:
90's looking UI
No support for exporting Twitter and Youtube Account Manager settings
Poorly implemented AppToDate support
Partly Sense and CHT support
No way to backup e-mail accounts and signatures (I know it's difficult to assemble)
No file backup at all
No support for all registry types (not really needed through)
I think you will agree that this app still needs further development. In my opinion Sense SDK is good enough to start with.
Yours truly,
Jackos
Hello,
Thank you all for your comments. I plan further development, so whatever you will find, I will at least try to solve.
@Jackos
You deserve special thanks. I don't wan't to defend myself but please remember I am still n00b if about programming And I'd like to comment at least some of your cons:
90's looking UI - I fully agree. This is still on my "to-do" list. Honestly I have already tried to run the Sense SDK from eboelzner (on an early stage of the app) and I just couldn't get the controls to appear on the form. I haven't spent much time on it though as this was not the most important thing to do. And there are only a few controls in this app which are big enough to operate with finger
Poorly implemented AppToDate support - honestly I did it same way as you did for your ROMs I know there is a possibility to download up-to-date cab directly from within the program, but I think the vital thing is to inform the user that something has changed. Nevertheless I will try to improve also here.
No way to backup e-mail accounts and signatures (I know it's difficult to assemble) - yes, you're right. And WiFi settings would also be fantastic to backup. I honestly don't know how to handle it. I did an extensive search among some developers forums and nothing up to now...
No file backup at all - this honestly was not in my plans. I use SettingsExporter in conjunction with PIMBackup in which I have my configuration (stored by the SettingsExporter by the way), and I backup all my files, contacts, messages and calendar within 2 clicks. I don't think any file backup is necessary...
No support for all registry types (not really needed though) - I've seen a tool written using NetCF where (according to the description) it is possible. I will ask the developer for help.
The rest of the "cons" concerns the configuration files which are subject to develop continously and independently on the tool itself. I was kinda hoping that this thread will grow with suggestions of other values of which I don't know and/or I don't use. So whatever you feel should be placed here, please post it hence help to improve for other users.

There are some encryption algorithms that aren't reverse-able. I have no knowledge with one is used in WinCe so maybe it's not possible at all. You could try to backup settings without including passwords.
I guess we have to ask ultrashot. He knows nearly everything about nearly anything

He's disassembling WM and SE mobile systems since he stopped using chamber pot
Strange, 35 downloads and nobody reported further problems? I don't believe there aren't any.
I dig up the e-mail and WiFi backup, but no real results yet. On the other hand I know how to handle the Sense SDK controls, so the next release will probably have better look as requested. But I don't want it to be the only update, so report guys, report
Runs fine on my Axim X51V running WM6.5. I've been using an old app until now called SettingSavior. And for specific third party apps, if I was able to find a registry entry where the registration key was stored, I used SKTools to create a reg file for that. then I used Shashimi to import cabs and .reg files.
Will explore your app more.
Some suggested other 3rd party apps for setting backup:
Sprite Backup
Galarm
Resco Explorer
Pocket Music
I used similar method to store my settings. I used CeRegEditor to make an "image" of the registry, then I changed my settings (also for third party apps), then I compared the saved image with the current state.
But if you use these programs and you have your setup created with SKTools, could you share it with me? I could check what settings are used for these apps, and update config files with them.
Thanks for creating this useful application ,I use this application, PIMBack-up and XDA_UC_NET - portable to fully automate the restore. Now a Hard reset or ROM update is a breeze.

Hi all!
I want to present the tool which can port/rebuild XIP (NK) and build IMGFS partition file for Windows Phone 7 with real registry recompiling and relocations according to WP7 memory model.
It can also build NB (D000FF and WMSTORE containers) and NBH files for HTC WP7 devices (tested on HTC HD2, HTC HD7, HTC Mozart, HTC Radar, HTC Titan).
This thread is the continuation of OSBuilder for WM topic. The future discussion about WP7 ROM assembling by means of OsBuilder will take place over here
Thanks again to the team (AndrewSh, Feropont, Vladimir1973, lucifer3006) - for the support, for the tests, for your work!
Special thanks to HD2Owner for enthusiasm and his titanic work in testing WP7mode.
Thanks a lot to AnDim for his tenderness and important information provided.
Sincerely,
Barin and Ultrashot

To -=Barin=- and Ultrashot
Dear friends!
Thank you for all the help you have given me with my WP7 experience.
I especially appreciate the information and advices you have provided, and the excellent OsBuilder you have shared with me. Your assistance has been invaluable to me!
Again, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your generosity, willingness to help and friendship.
Regards
Andrew.
Changelog - OS Builder V1.3.187 FULL (03.11.2011)
1. Fixed issue with deleting a parameter defined in boot.rgu, if the removing directive was stored in other packages - the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18251257&postcount=564
The second step to full WP7 support
2. Relocation engine is totally redesigned. (Hats off to Ultrashot for valuable help with WP7 modules Z .reloc sections)
3. Added possibility of porting/rebuilding XIP (NK) and the assembling IMGFS partition file for Windows Phone 7 with real registry recompiling and relocations according to WP7memory model (tested on HTC HD2, HTC HD7 and HTC Mozart. Credit for tests goes to Feropont and HD2Owner)
I want to warn that the registry files have to be checked by registry preview, because there is a hell of syntax errors in the original registry. Frankly, it seems (IMHO) that first the registry was generated and then some comments for dumb and mistakes were added.
Registry Preview will define incorrect lines to help you to fix that. The most common errors are:
- Parameter name without the quotes
- The comments are not marked with a semicolon or marked with colon.
- HEX type values end with point (the last or the only parameter line)
- The value MULTI_SZ contains comments between the lines parameter
- Existence of Directives for conditional compilation IF ... END (it's not a mistake, but currently these directives are not processed, so you should label them as a comment)
4. The dsm-editor has now the feature to set/clear Z-flags for modules.
Warning! This flag is used for WP7 XIP modules only if the RW section of a module must be located within the boundaries of RAMStart-RAMFree (nk.exe, kernel.dll, kitl_noplat.dll and similar)
5. For WP7 - Added ability to edit the file MsDefaultcerts.dat (see Additional Tools)
6. For WP7- Added ability to edit files CoreOS.dat and initobj.dat (see Additional Tools)
7. Added ability to automatically insert a certificate which will sign files while assembling DefaultCerts.dat and MsDefaultCerts.dat (for WP7) - see the settings in Build Dump and ROM. The original files stay untouched.
8. XIP Port settings - added the list of additional MS packages (for WP7). When porting WP7 XIP, the packages specified in this list will be replaced with donor packages.
At the moment, we can safely add the following packages to this list:
BaseDrivers_NK
CCFGSVC
GFX_NK
KFPCRT
Watson_Core
WinCENLS
9. In Configuration and packages tab of Setting - added the option "Always include 0409packages." If your WP7kitchen allows the language selection, it is recommended to use this option enabled to include English-language packages by default to your ROM, otherwise there is risk to get non-bootable ROM.
10. Added - the ability to build NB files (! For the moment only D000FF container !, NB assembling for the new _wmstore structure devices is not supported yet) and NBH files for WP7
To build NB you should have the original NB and should define the way to it in Build ROM settings, for example ".\NB\OS.nb". Unfortunately, to get rid of the original NB is not yet possible, but the work is in process. Hats off to AnDim for help and information provided. NBH build configuration settings are similar to the previous version, except that the CID tab can contain multiple values (each value in a separate line)
Warning! If you plan to use for cooking WP7 dump obtained by earlier versions of OSBuilder, I would strongly recommend you to dump again, and to copy the new ROM template \ ROM.tpl to your kitchen. The new template will contain additional service information, which was not recorded in earlier versions of OSBuilder
11. OSBuilder is fully backward compatible with WM6.x kitchens, (it was a big deal btw, but it was implemented). When you open the kitchen OSBuilder automatically detects the required mode WM6/WP7.
This compatibility will remain for the future, but no new features for WM kitchens will be added. OSBuilder WM Kitchens Development is terminated due to the termination of WM6.5.x development from MS side.
Thanks again to the team (AndrewSh, Feropont, Vladimir1973) - for the support, for the tests, for your work!
Special thanks to HD2Owner for enthusiasm and his titanic work in testing WP7mode.

We do not distribute SYS here. We provide only the OsBuilder. For SYS and other device specific packages - ask in the rom topics from the rom developers.
Thanks for new version, I've dump HTC Titan rom and now trying to rebuilt.

Titan is the second generation device with another rom structure (_wmstore)
Only nk and imgfs partition files can be built for it, but not NB. Current version of OSBuilder supports D000FF NB container only, but not _wmstore/_wmpart
Dude you is a wonder. Thank you very much...

Thanks Barin, that's reason why I've an error . But nice, can begin to see registry, packages etc...
Thanks a billion Barin, as well as to his team mates.
Excellent work indeed! This is what I was waiting for, before I put my hands into WP7 on HD2.
Let me dig in and see whats under wp7 hood.
Thanks again...
Best Regards
Edit:
I just tried to dump and rebuild an WP7 ROM made for HD2.
* Dumped successfully
* Fixed the registry errors
* When building, I get "The given key was not present in the dictionary." No idea what it means but I haven't changed any files/folders.
* Disable Demand Paging is empty but no idea either were does those list of modules comes while building.
Any idea whats wrong am I doing?
Great work, thanks a bunch.

Don't worry 'bout the list - it appears only because OsBuilder detects correspondent flags assigned to these modules. About the mistake - not sure -better later Barin will explain it more correctly than me....

AndrewSh is absolutely rightt about modules with flag M in dsm
About error - no idea too. Just try to close OSbuilder and then open the kitchen again.
i have app called "SuperSMS" FROM 2016
and when i upload the new version and fill the declartion form
i get this message
Hi Developers at Dustfall,
Thanks for contacting the Google Play team.
I’ve reviewed your appeal request and found that your app, SuperSMS - Text Messages (com.Dustfall.SuperSms), does not qualify for use of DEFAULT_SMS.
We are unable to verify permissions prompt in your app. If these permissions (e.g. READ_SMS, RECEIVE_MMS, RECEIVE_SMS, and SEND_SMS) are not required, please remove them from your app.
Your app does not appear to prompt the user to be a default handler prior to requesting related permissions as required by the policy. Please make necessary changes in order to comply with policy requirements and resubmit your app through a Declaration Form.
Permission requests should make sense to users. You may only request permissions that are necessary to implement critical current features or services in your application. You may not use permissions that give access to user or device data for undisclosed, unimplemented, or disallowed features or purposes. For additional guidance, please review the Permissions policy and this Play Console Help Center article.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best Regards,

NOW WHAT THE HELL THEY WANT ?
AND THERE IS NOBODY TO TALK WITH HIM
Hi all,
I'm working on a port of Android 11 (AOSP) for the OnePlus 5. The ROM works pretty well, but I'm having issues with the Google Apps. In particular, the Google Wellbeing is not working and it is crashing with the log attached when started.
I've already spent a lot of hours trying to understand why: it works fine on LineageOS but there is no particular commit for Wellbeing, and everything seems the same from a permissions point of view.
Is this the right place to ask for help?
Thanks!
It doesn't seem to be improving your wellbeing...

It does not
Hi, I found and fixed the issue. This is the fix:
SettingsExtra: do not declare REQUEST_LISTENING as protected · roberto-sartori-gl/[email protected]
This fix Wellbeing not working on Android 11. SettingsExtra does not need this, it was a leftover from development. Signed-off-by: Roberto Sartori <[email protected]>
github.com
I didn't think a manifest from an application could break stuff in a different app, however it does (this is a system app). I didn't need that declaration, so I just removed it
