I referred to something like searching for "Wallpapers for tablet" app on Play Store, if there´s some it had to do the job; https://play.google.com/store/search?q=wallpapers for tablets full hd&c=apps&hl=es_419 additionally I think the most enriched is the image then the launcher won´t try to adjust the size to keep the dpi.

The first setup on Nova launcher is not so hard to do, all the lot of other features that it has is up the user to use it or not, you could leave it as simple as you want.

There´s a launcher that I use intermittently when I want to just make some changes but not a great thing but only what I need at that moment https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.android.globallauncher&hl=es

I think that current tablet are designed to be used mostly on landscape mode, for this they come with a battery of accesories (included or suggested to buy them) like keyboard and others, and similarly to the pc an image that is taken from a wide angle will work better on landscape mode and not portrait and viceversa.

The resolution of your device is probably 1920x1200 and not 1920x1080.

Also you could try with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper

And if you want to give it a try this wallpaper to see if it fits on:

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I noticed when I installed Nova, I had to allow it to do several things before it was usable. And this seemed to remove most of my apps from the home screen and put the main ones at the side instead of the bottom. It looked so different to me that I was struggling to find my way around. It may be simple for many, but I spent ages trying to get it back to how I had it before and I couldn't figure out how. Unless it was hidden somewhere, i seemed to have to click on to Nova Icon on the home screen, navigate through it to access my apps rather then just flick up. It could well be that i am just terrible at getting used to new things and am missing something obvious. I found an option for the icon to search the apps to be put on the homescreen, but it seemed to be fixed in the top right corner and it had another app directly on top of it, neither of which would it let me move. I may have to do soem research on how to use it, but I have ended up removing it as I seem to be unable to find a way to access the things that I used to find easily.

Is there a way that I am simply missing of being able to use this app as a launcher but avoid it changing anything else? It seemed to request me to accept many things before I could use it at all.

My recent tablet that is the main one i am wanting to sort the issue out for is the Teclast M16 (which I use with a keyboard case permanently in Landscape like a laptop). I was specifically wanting a tablet with a 16:9 resolution which seems pretty rare now. As I get annoyed with wasted space when watching videos and pictures which is one of the main things I use it for. It also has HDMI, and TVs are virtually always this ratio which is another reason why I wanted it. One of my old tablets with android 5.1 was 16:9 too, but was 1366x768, but if the resolution was scaled to this, it never has the zooming issue. So I don't know what causes it on 3 of my more recent tablets.

I have been typing while trying these things out, otherwise i forget what I have done :D

I have now just tried image 2 wallpaper and just tested it by taking a picture with my tablet and setting it as my background through the app. Firstly, it looks like it selects the center of the picture as always and crops that off, but if i go to advanced and select "displays width", then position the image within the available space, it actually sets the background without zooming in the first time I can remember!

Will see if I can get more used to this app as it looks more simple for me to understand and doesn't need Nova. I still should probably take note of Nova though as it does look pretty advanced, I am just bad at getting used to new things.

Thanks for your help. Will test it on my other tablets and let you know how i get on.

Hello!

I'm having a issue... in-call volume with headphones is too loud(even in lower volume)

I'm in a Nougat rom(RR) on Redmi 4 rooted with magisk. I been looking for modules but found nothing but for low volume. Tried editing xml mixer path but no changes(or maybe i don't know what to edit exactly) Also tried adding more step, no changes.

I even flashed another build recently..

Basically my question is if anyone knows how can I lower it with a module or editing something(I checked mixer_paths and everything seems normal values)

I could just try others roms but I don't really have time to trial and error since I use this daily. So that would be last resort.

Thanks!

Try toggling on the "disable absolute volume" setting in developer options.

Are these Bluetooth or wired headphones?
[General Questions and Answers] shampow:
Wired, it happens with every wired headphones. I don't have BT headphones:(

I found that lowering headphone volume on the Kernel Adiutor to -15 or -20 works, though, it lowers everything. but I'm looking just to lower in-call volume which is the only problem(as I said even in lower volume is very loud, in fact, at max is even more loud trough headphones than call speaker at max volume lol)
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
Did you try the setting I mentioned? If that doesn't help, try in safe mode. If the problem still happened in safe mode, then the kernel management solution is probably your best bet. If the problem is improved in safe mode, then you have an app contributing to the problem.

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Mate, you havent tried this before, is chinese, i say leave it as it is. You might not even find a new version of android. Or find something not worth the huge ordeal you in for.

If it does run android, install something like cpu z, in order to check which version of android. If its at least 5.0 ( android lollipop), is enough. Almost like 95% of apps are going to work on it.

Need help getting onto bootloader using a samsung s6 G920F

Hi, I have a samsung s6 G920F, and I have been trying to get it to boot onto bootloader, with the ultimate goal of installing LineageOS onto it. I used adb and the recovery interface (as it is an option on the recovery settings) and every time I select the bootloader option it will just boot up the phone normally,. There is no OEM setting in the developer options (I presume because it's an international model) and I am basically stumped. Any advice? If not, could anyone point me to an alternative way to install twrp (which is my current aim). I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this, and most of the stuff I am trying to follow is from scattered searches on the internet.

Other important info:

-The device is not rooted.

-My android version is 7.0.

-i have tried using kingroot to root it, but the app looks especially dodgy and the pc download seems to be hard to come by.

-I can boot onto recovery, but not bootloader.

-If there is an alternative way, would it also have the ability for me to install the open_gapps package since I want *some* google functionality for certain things.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Hey there mate. First, the G920F is one of the easiest versions to root and install twrp. Just search on xda. There are like 50 different posts relating this issue. I also got the international version, from what i recall the bootloader comes already unlocked. Second, lineage os is a terrible rom. If you wanna go for stable, go with marduk. Same android 7, only way debloated. There s also Resurrection Remix (android 9). Pm me if you want a link to all my roms ive downloaded and tried already.
[General Questions and Answers] Thierry05:
Hey, thanks for the advice!

I haven't been able to find problems specifically referring to what I am experiencing. As well as this, I know the bootloader is supposedly unlocked, the problem is that no matter what, it won't let me use it. Like I said, whenever I select the option to use the bootloader in the recovery options, it will just boot normally onto my phone as if nothing happened.

EDIT: I have managed to root the device, if that's any consulation. I have a download mode that I can access, can this be used to install the OS?

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Yes, you are on the right path. You can use odin to flash twrp through download mode.

1. Download TWRP. Search on their website latest twrp available, zeroflte is called for flat s6

2. Start Odin as Admin

3. Boot Device into Download Mode

4. Connect your S6 to PC (Odin should show "Com 1" for example)

5. Click on "AP" and then choose twrp

6. Deactivate Auto reboot in odin

7. Flash it

8. When its done, hold Volume Down + power

9. Directly after screen goes black, make volume up + homebutton + Power

10. Now it should be flashed

You might or might not encounter a bug or something. Just search the bug on xda, there s an easy fix.

Yeah I’m going to buy a new one... I discovered the right F&R audio channels are fried today, courtesy of some shady soldering...so kinda spewin... I figure it could be a good device to learn on though.

I’m not entirely sure if it is an actual android capable one either. It doesn’t have an android boot screen or anything....so I guess it falls into the windows CE category... am I right with this train of thought? It is similar in some ways to my c500. Just really basic.

I have a Ownice c500 in my other car. So will likely get a c800 for this car.
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
They because there are no device forums for this device. There is only one thread dedicated to the LG K40 that I could find; Unlocking bootloader and rooting on LG K40s.

Device forums are opened when there is significant activity on a device. When there are just a few, but active threads, usually a tagged discussion page is generated. It doesn't look like the K40 meets the criteria for either yet.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Samsung devices do not have "bootloader mode", they have download mode. Download mode is used to flash files via Odin.

If you are trying to install custom ROMs, first, you need to flash TWRP that is made for your specific model number. You can flash a TWRP.tar via Odin or, since you are rooted, you can flash a TWRP.img using the Flashify app or by using the TWRP Manager app.

After you get TWRP installed(it has to be for your specific model number), then you can download your custom ROM and the Gapps file that is recommended to use with the ROM and flash those via TWRP.

OpenVPN TAP on rooted Pie phone

I know this has been asked before, but is it possible (yet) to create a bridged (TAP, not TUN) OpenVPN connection? I know that it is not possible without root, and the lack of demand for TAP support and the need for root combined with the amount of dev time necessary may make this issue a non-starter, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask, right? This is Android, and it has happily surprised me plenty of times before over the years. I saw mention about a paid app that can do it, and I am certainly fine with paying, but I cannot find such an app on Play, so perhaps I misunderstood.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a way to do this, or at least tell me that it isn't possible so that I can stop searching, I would be grateful. This phone runs LoS, if it matters.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
According to this:

https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=19317

The paid version of OpenVPN supports TAP. Read through that thread, there is other discussion of the subject, as well.
[General Questions and Answers] SmilingPerson:
Thanks, that is one of the discussions that I had seen that seemed to imply that there is a paid solution, but all of the links are dead. Also, in that very thread is a mention of the fact that the Android API doesn't support TAP, so it is unlikely that it is going to happen without Heraclean effort on the part of devs, which translates to either money or passion for the project. Given the small and somewhat esoteric market, neither of those things are likely.

I have read a good bit about this over the past few years, and decided to post asking, just in case anyone could tell me about a project or product that I am not already aware of. I am still hopeful that someone will be able to, but I am not optimistic.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
One person mentions something about it being possible via an emulator. Maybe you can install an emulator then install an OS in the emulator that can use TAP. A bit round-about, but, it "might" work.

Samsung S7 Edge unusable after latest Firmware update (Dec 19?)

Hello!

Hoping anyone can assist.

Quick background:

Above phone is nearly 3 years old, it was originally supplied on a 3 Mobile contract (UK) then was unlocked and had been operating on a BT Mobile (EE) sim for the last 2-3 months.

Late December 2019 I noticed a request to download and install a Firmware update. I clicked OK, but it failed and it went away. New Years Eve it re-appeared and asked again. I again clicked OK, it failed again. Everything was working at this point. At some point overnight (whilst I was asleep), something screwed it up as the next day, the phone was stuck on the Samsung loading screen and I ONLY had access to the "Odin Download screen" (i.e. Vol Dn, Power & Home). I couldn't reboot, hard reset or anything.

Firstly I need to advise I have no experience with this side of mobile phones, at all. This phone has not been modified or changed, and I have only ever downloaded official Samsung updates. I do however have a keen need not to spend money getting something done by a professional, if there is an easy fix. This is why I am here :)

I have downloaded the latest firmware I could find, using the Odin software tool and following the guides. However, I am continually thwarted and the software either hangs and fails, or just fails straight away.

I read on these forums that Android 9.0 was possible being rolled out, could it be that that has caused the problem?!

Some info on my phone:

Product name: SM-G935F

Current Binary : Samsung Official

System Status: Official

FRP Lock: On

Warranty void: 0

RP SWREV: B:7 K:5 S:6

I am currently downloading the following firmware which I am led to believe is the correct one for the phone: G935FXXS7ESK1 slow download so waiting before I can use it.

Couple of quick questions:

If the phone is currently using an EE sim but was originally shipped as a 3 mobile phone, which firmware should I use, or doesn't it matter as both is in the UK?

Secondly, the phone had Oreo when it crashed, but was shipped with a different O/S (in 2017) am I right to be trying to use Oreo now?

Any help would be gratefully received :)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You're on the right track, the firmware that you listed should be correct, provided that it is for your region/carrier(UK/your service provider). If it isn't the correct firmware for your region/carrier, find the correct one, SM-G935F for UK on your network provider.

Your device has Binary 7(represented by the B:7 in download mode) and your firmware file is a Binary 7 firmware(represented by the "7" in your firmware build number), so, that firmware should work. Just download that firmware, install Samsung drivers on your PC and install Odin on PC then you're ready to go.

You have to flash what you had or something newer, you can't flash something older, that is the point of the "binary", you can't flash anything that has an older binary than what was already on the device. Basically, it is to prevent the possibility of downgrading the OS to a less secure version. You can only upgrade or stay were you are, you can't downgrade. Only stay where you are or go forward, going backward is not an option.

Charge the device to full, boot your device to download mode, open Odin, connect your device to PC, you should see "added" in the dialog box in Odin and you should see a blue or yellow comm#(if you see these, you're connected properly).

Then, if you have an all-in-one firmware file, you select the AP slot in Odin then browse to your firmware file and select it, then click start, let it flash. If successful, you'll get a green PASS! and the device will reboot into the newly flashed system.

If you have a 4 or 5 part firmware file(BL, AP, CP, CSC(some firmware have a CSC and a Home CSC etc..), the BL file goes in the BL slot, AP file goes in AP(for older devices and older versions of Odin, this was called PDA) slot, CP file goes in CP slot(formerly called Phone on older devices and older versions of Odin) and the CSC file goes in the CSC slot, the plain CSC wipes your user data during the flash and the Home CSC does not wipe your user data. It might be a good idea to use the plain CSC file so that your user data gets wiped during the flash, this will avoid potential issues between old data and new system. So, place the files on their coordinating slots in Odin, then click start and let it flash.

As for the flash failing, that depends on which errors it gives in Odin, if any. It could be that you need to boot into stock recovery then factory reset the device in recovery and then wipe the cache partition then power off and boot back into download mode then try flashing again.

Or, the firmware could be wrong or it could even be a corrupted firmware file.

There are several things that could cause a failed Odin flash. I'll try to help you troubleshoot the issue, just keep posting your results and we'll see what we can do.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The beginning of your log seems to indicate an intermittent connection with PC.

Try a USB2 port and use a better cable, make sure there is good connection, set the device down while flashing and do not disturb the device or the surface that it is resting on, the slightest disconnect will surely fail, in some cases, it bricks the device because the partitions are formatted as they are flashed, a failure during the format can corrupt vital partitions leading to a device that will not boot properly.
