Best browsers for what on what device to use for?

There are enhanced browsers for Qualcomm devices, if you have one but in my opinion Crome (Beta) is the best overall experience, but that's just my opinion...

Information can be easily found by a Google search and by own testing, here's just one result from Google with keywords "best android browser"...

Sure you've checked magisk hide in magisk manager settings? Would be great if you give more details about what you have tried in specific and what magisk version you're using...

Edit: there's by the way a dedicated magisk support thread

Disable sleep?

On my phone if I go to Settings > Display & Lights > Sleep I can set the timeout interval until the phone sleeps. Options range from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. I would like to set it to "Never". In other words, I never want it to timeout. I can simply press the power button to shut the screen off/put it to sleep.

How can I configure this? Is there a magic line that can be added to build.prop? Please don't suggest an app. I don't want to download another app just to change a single configuration setting.

getting hidden caller id on samsung i9100 replicant 6 phone

samsung i9100

replicant 6

hidden caller id

I installed replicant 6 on samsung i9100. I discovered replicant 6 does not enable hidden caller id. I got to

know the hidden caller id software is non libre. That is why hidden caller id is not part of replicant 6.

I cannot aske how to install hidden caller id on replicant's forum, because it is a question aboujt non

libre software. I did get to know, that an option is to compile the hidden caller id software into

replicant 6. How to do that, I do not know.

Hidden caller id software should be about libsamsung-ipc, samsung-ril, https://replicantmirror.fossencdi.org/hardware_ril_samsung-ril.git/tree/call.c#n28 so that it always returns IPC_CALL_IDENTITY_HIDE.

Can you tell me how to get hidden caller id on the phone or direct me to a forum which could answer my question?

Thank you.

Rooting Homtom HT37pro

I just got the Homtom Ht37 pro that runs on Nougat 7.0 but can't seem to root it. I already tried Kingroot, Iroot, KingoRoot(pc version). All failed. Is there a way to manually root the device or is there a root tool I don't know off that can get the job done?. Any help would be much appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
If you have a unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery and a tool to flash it you wouldn't need those apps, you could just flash the root binaries from within the custom recovery...

That's what "manual" rooting would mean, as I have no idea about your phone that's something to Google for by you, if Google shows nothing there's nothing to find, then you can only wait till someone created a custom recovery or a working root solution or till one of those app finds a security hole to exploit...

If rooting and modding really matters for you it's best to research the potential interesting devices before purchasing, there are enough devices which never receive a proper rooting method or a custom recovery, custom rom, kernel and so on AND be aware that those rooting apps can easily bring the device to a state where you cannot boot up anymore, so be prepared, check for your stock rom and a way to flash it before experimenting...

Does anyone know, would older versions of android run better on older devices. More specifically, i have a tab 3 (which is very old and not very powerful), wouldn't android 6.0 run better on it than android 7? Because android 7 is built for newer devices. Or am I completely wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Not much difference between 6.0 and 7.0. You would not see much of a difference until you go all the way back to Kit Kat. There was a big change in how heavy the android operating system is from Kit Kat to Lollipop. That's where the big jump was made, a larger jump than 5.0 to 6.0 or even 5.0 to 7.0. Things starting getting very demanding on older device hardware around the time lollipop was released, mostly due to Google play services. So if you want something that isn't so hard on older devices, you want Kit Kat or Lollipop.

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
It may be that some of some the newer OS features don't work with the outdated hardware but in general the recent Android versions work more fluently, the overall user experience is definitely better on newer Android OS versions in regards to performance & features...

I run a even older Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from 2012 with updated (recent security patches) lineageOS 13 and this makes the device usable again, running stock on it laggs alot, actually to a degree where it's hardly possible to operate it...

So, no - it's not like on iOS where old devices get updates pretty long but exactly those updates render the older devices almost useless due to slowness and lags, it's in my experience quite the difference on Android, at least concerning to custom software, if there's a rom available you should think about upgrading, I personally made good experience...

LEECO S3 622 helio X20

Hello guys! I think i bricked my LE S3 622 Helio X20. First the phone didnt want to start crashed at starting applications. So i thought it would be good to flash the stock room again. I went to recovery sucsessfully but there were no buttons( clearing data and flash rooms). Then i wanted to flash recovery first. I put the phone in fast boot mode and everything seemed ok. But now after reboot i cant get either into recovery or fast boot mode. Only red light is lightening when its on charging . It wont turn on. Windows cant see it either. Any advice how i could make it work again? :(:crying:

If it makes the sound when you connect it then it is connecting but not being recognized.

As I said the first time, go to Windows "DEVICE MANAGER" not "devices and printers".

Got to Control Panel>Device Manager then connect the device.

You should have an unknown device or a device that shows a ? or a ! symbol.

Hello there!

Today I'm asking the following question because I didn't found a question like this on XDA, and I was wondering why.

However, this is not so obvious in my opinion!

Well, the question is: where do I find the source code of some system apps?

I know that you can find the Java code (in some sort) in the apk file.

But I checked some system apps (i.e. TouchWiz Mass Launcher, SystemUI) located in /system/priv-apps and, using Dexplorer and other read-only decompilers, I didn't find any code into these apk, only XML, drawables and stuff (No src folder!)

So where can I find it? I'd like to modify system apps to add new features, not only for theming

Thank you in advance.

(I got a Samsung device)
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
The Helio X20 is a mediatek chip which means you have good chances to fix it if you're able to find sp flash tool compatible firmware (scatter file needed), the sound it makes when connecting is actually great and probably enough to flash it again with sp flash tool, cause this sound means your preloader is still working and this is a prerequisite for using the flash tool...

Start with a Google search with keywords (model number, sp flash tool), also check YouTube for some footage on how it works, it will give you a better idea of what the challenge is...

Just because apps work on one OS version doesnt mean it will work on another. Most likely what is happening is that it is trying to use something that was added after 4.4 to handle the reply message. I would grab a logcat and that will show you what is happening.

I cant say I have ever heard of the app but maybe find an older version that is targeted to your OS version.

my phone has an issue where the notification badge on an app icon does not disappear. This is occurring on the messaging app. I received two texts during the night which I did not see until the morning. However, during this time, an automated Titanium Backup was made (I don't know if it matters though). The messaging app constantly shows a 2 in the red bubble beside the app icon indicating unread messages. There are no associated notifications in the bar. Further text messages correctly appear in the notification bar but do not change the number of the messaging app. I have tried restoring a previous Titanium backup and even reflashed my rom (Batman Rom) to no avail.

I have tried googling this problem and many of the users report this issue on HTC devices but none of the suggested methods in those threads worked for me.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Do a Google search for:

"ROMs for (your model number)"

If that doesn't find anything then there are no ROMs for you.

No one knows if this device will get custom development. It probably won't though because it isn't the kind of device that serious developers would own and they only develop for the devices that they personal own. You might find a developer that is willing to do the work but you'll have to buy another device like yours then donate it to them so they can do it, they can't do it without having the device in their possession and I very seriously doubt they'll buy the device themselves just so they can build you a ROM.

Other than that, your best option is to try learning how to build a ROM for yourself. You'll probably get it faster that way.

Its not reading the games and im sure they are in the games folder in the psp folder
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Whether they are being read correctly or not has nothing to do with which folder they are in, they'll load from any folder, you just have to browse to that folder in PPSSPP. Are you trying to use the game files as is or have you extracted them down to the iso?

And learn to use the "reply" or "quote" button below the posts you are replying to, this will quote the person you are replying to and they'll get a notification letting them know that you replied. Don't just type your response, we can't tell who you are talking to unless it's obvious. You'll also get a faster response if you use the quote feature.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
USE THE QUOTE FEATURE, please.

When you extracted, did you extract the second .rar? You have to extract the downloaded file, then open the extracted file, inside there is another .rar that has to be extracted, then you'll have the useable .iso.

Then open PPSSPP, browse to the folder where you extracted the .iso, you'll see a mini icon with the games title screen, select that and it will load.

Sony Xperia M4 Dual Sim E2363 Aqua constant screen flickering

Hello,

I won this phone on eBay for 23 dollars. Seller mentioned that it is fully functional but screen flickers.

I tested the phone and is fully functional. The phone is in pristine condition with no water damage.

I tried everything to try to get rid of the flickering.

-Updated it to stock Marshmallow. Still flickers

-Unlocked bootloader & flashed a custom kernel & ROM. Still flickers

-TWRP wiping didn't help

-Disabled HW Overlays in Dev Options. Doesn't help

Here's what I found out though. The phone doesn't flicker when it is only displaying TEXT, for example in Settings menu. It'll only flicker when it begins to display IMAGES such as when I'm in Chrome or changing the wallpaper.

When navigating through the phone THE FLICKERING IS ONLY TRIGGERED WITH IMAGES, PHOTOS BUT NOT TEXT.

Does this have something to do with the hardware itself? Can it be fixed?

To set mount r/w, install ES File Explorer, open ES File Explorer, tap it's menu at the top left, on the menu find the "tools" tab, on the tools list, find "root explorer", turn it on(grant superuser permission when it prompts you), it should have a pop up window with options, tap mount r/w, it should give you another pop-up menu, set all partitions to r/w.
