Not working for me

Hi! Tried this, but doesn't work for me. Created shortcut, pinned to start menu. At MyTile, it still points to the original exe file and it doesn't change the tile image.

Also struggling with Office tiles. Have Office 365 Home version. Could not located any MSOffice.lnk in MyTile to refresh it. For any reason, without doing anything with it, Excel tile has changed somehow.

Thanks. Otherwise: AT LEAST, thanks for the app!

Transparent Background

Hi!

Have you figured it out how to make the background transparent?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Flinston_Ger:
Hi BK,

the software is completely file-based. It does not have a database or anything to remember the colors. This means that once the visualelements.xml is changed, there is no way for the software to remember the old color.

Effectively, there exists a simple workaround: Simply backup your visualelementsmanifest.xml files (to some folder) for the adobe applications and copy them back everytime you do an update. Afterwards, simply use my software to make a refresh of the tile.

BR

Flinston
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Flinston_Ger:
AFAIK transparent background is not supported, but it depends on the definition:

1) Transparent to desktop, i.e., underlying windows, etc.: Not supported.

2) Transparent to tile-background-color: Supported. An icon with transparent background lets the selected background-color shine through.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Flinston_Ger:
I will try it with firefox myself. Maybe Mozilla did some weird stuff.

Edit: I tried it with Mozilla Firefox.

Firefox, by default, uses a custom tile. It uses the same technology as MyTile, i.e., a visualelementsmanifest.xml. I simply selected it from the list and it loads the default settings (medium tile image filename: browser\VisualElements\VisualElements_150.png) I simply replaced the icon (via select image and save), and it worked.

Can you maybe try to use the original filename/original visualelementsmanifest (or try on a new installation) and tell me if the problem persists? (Attached are two screenshots)

Regarding Office: Changing office icons via MyTile/Win10Tile (I should have chosen a consistent name for this software...) is not possible. Please see the first post regarding a workaround. You need to change the icons in the office folder and leave the original visualelementsmanifest.xml from Office applications untouched. If you have already changed them, I can send them you to (I am not sure If I can publically provide them here...)

[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] vatz:
I didn't notice that I removed de "#" from the color code, the image tile wasn't applied and it took me a while figuring out why because there wasn't any error message. A simple message or even better, the program could apply it automatically transparently to the user.

Any way the app is amazing, exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Dr. Flinston
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Flinston_Ger:
Currently, MS Windows 10 does not support live tiles via visualmanifest.xml. If this will change, I will update the app immediately.

[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] JohnnyGui:
They are deskop apps, other than MS Office. I take it that it's not possible to have wide tiles for other desktop apps?

Great. Not sure if this has been changed in the upcoming Creators Update which will be officialy released on the 11th of April.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Flinston_Ger:
As of Build 15063.0 (Version 1703), I can not spot any support for wide tiles yet, sadly.

//edit: obviously, there is support for wide tiles, but solely for modern apps. You can get wide tiles for native apps by using some proxy app such as tilecreator (see here on xda), but you'd lose any jump-list and context-menu support.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] JohnnyGui:
Yeah, I noticed these editing apps. The biggest downside that I don't like is that these editing apps always have to pop up every time I launch an app that I have edited its icon. Hence me asking about wide tiles here.

Office 2016 Icons

I am unable to get this working with office 2016 apps. I followed the instructions at start of post, replace size 100 icon with a custom icon for onenote, refreshed the .INK in mytile (which didn't have any icon selected in it) but the icon on my startmenu didn't change. When i selected the custom icon in mytile, the onenote icon on the start menu went black.

Am i doing something wrong?

I didn't understand what this meant :

"Note: The original visualelementsmanifest.xml must remain. If you change them via this app, the above workaround does not work anymore. Get them from some other office installation and copy them over"

Does that mean if i have set custom icons for other icons using mytile the workaround for office icons doesn't work?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
Did those of you who posted 'use the search' also use the search before typing 'use the search'? I must say, 'use the search' has been said here a lot and we all get sick of n00bs saying it.

Another hint for any n00bs who want to say 'use the search' for people asking for help would be that part of the reason the search function here sucks so bad is the extraneous messages, and I think we can consider 'use the search' type of messages to be extraneous.

As for the original question, I've never seen anything that answers your specific question asked or answered here before, so you have asked a good question. I don't have the answer but maybe someone can point you in the right direction, or you can find an appropriate thread to post your question to (recommended).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trimakassi:
If you mean something that is available as it is for the wizard (Vario I) then no. At the moment I have a Vario I and a Vario II. On both of them I'm using iContacts (iPhonish way to scroll through your contacts). On the Vario I I'm running DrDot's ROM which has TouchFlo "the cube" (it's a prism actually) installed. Works like a charm!

For the Hermes (Vario II) there's no ROM yet if I'm not mistaken. There is however a "ButtonFlo" version of TouchFlo available. For now it only works via hardware input instead of using the touchscreen. It's just a .cab, you should be able to find it on this hermes section using the search function. the DrDot (not for the Hermes!) and iContacts can also be found on this forum. Good luck! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
TouchFLO doesn't work properly at all on the HERMES, so you won't have to worry about flashing.

Oh yeah, next time search for your answer first. (read my signature regarding search for a bit more help) ;)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Ever since I converted to GPE for 6.0 then back to Sense (5.0.1 stock, rooted) I have been facing problems with my external SD Card. I know that Marshmallow handles External SD Cards a little bit differently than other versions of Android, so I decided to backup everything to my computer and then have my device format the SD card inside Sense but it still did not work.

For one thing, I can no longer backup from Titanium Backup to my External SD Card since it says "this folder is not writable" and whenever I try to delete or move anything inside ES File Explorer, a message comes up saying "please choose the root directory of ext_sd card ...." and when I try to, I get a "Documents Force Closed" error.

Any ideas on what I could do at this point? Should I try formatting the SD Card on my computer using a SD Card reader instead? I am using a Mac, by the way.

Dear XDA Members,

I just got my new LG G4 H815 and wanted to unlock bootloader and root immediately. I have not actually checked avability before because I got it for a good price and was not caring about this. But I still wanted to know if it is possible to unlock the bootloader unofficially? The official way is a bit too risky for me because I would lose software warranty and nearly every defect could be given to software if LG wants to.

At the moment the only way of unlocking it is if my bootloader was on v0 am I right? Maybe someone can tell me my version as I am to stupid for this and do not want to risk anything.

PS: As I am not able to post links please tell me which entrys from the hidden menu you need and I will copy them for you :)

[Galaxy S6 General] sapnesh:
MODs feel free to move this thread if this isn't the right place for it, and I'm sorry if it isn't :(

Q: What is audio Latency?

A: Audio latency is defined as the time delay that a signal experiences as it passes through a system. On a mobile device, this is deeply related to how long it takes between tapping on a screen and receiving audio feedback.

Q: Why should I care?

A: Low audio latency can be the difference between an immersive gaming experience and an unpleasant, disconnected one. Too long a latency and a device can begin to feel strangely laggy, even if every visual animation is snappy and responsive. It is especially important — essential, even — for recording and composing music, since slow audio feedback can easily throw off even the best artists and destroy their creative process. Low latency is absolutely fundamental in a modern operating system, and it's been absolutely terrible on Android.

Unfortunately, iOS has always been way ahead of Android in terms of audio latency. Even iOS devices as old as the iPhone 4S (and much older) have average latency levels of about 7 ms.

Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2 had an estimated audio latency of about 195 ms, and the upgrade to version 5.1 brought that down to just 58 ms.

Speaking of Marshmallow, The Nexus 9 saw the largest gains, dropping from 32 ms in Android 5.1.1 down to just 15 ms in 6.0

and the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P both have very acceptable levels of 18 ms.

Now , The thing whcih worries me most is my Galaxy S6 (920-I) has an audio latency in range of 140ms-160ms running Lollipop 5.1.1 (on several trials) :mad:

My device status

:

SM-G920I

Rooted,

ROM- Xtrestolite 2.4 (deodexed)

Hacks- Wanam Xposed, ViperMod, Dolby Audio.

So I dont know if all these modifications are what afftecting my S6's audio latency. So I request all those who are interested to measure their device's latency and reply back here . Especially those on stock rom unrooted and all.

Please also include your device status too.:) even screenshots if possible. and also share if you've had issues regarding to this latency(in games may be?).

Q: How to measure ?

A:There are several ways of measuring latency, and a very useful and easily understood one is called round-trip latency. Round-trip latency is calculated by inputting an audio signal into a device and measuring the amount of time it takes for the signal to exit the output

So Calculate yours now using a small, open-source app made by Superpowered. You can use the direct link to download and install the APK file

DOWNLOAD: splatency11.apk

P.S : I am not at all an expert in this feild. just an enthusiast who has a keen interest in all things android. Feel free to correct me if anything is not right in this post.

This Post was hugely inspired by this article.

I'm getting 40ms on my S6 G920I unrooted, stock ROM. I ran the test twice and got the same results. Difference may be attributed to buffer size and the audio mods you may have installed on your phone. I will try with my HTC M8 which is rooted with V4A and Dolby Atmos installed.

I'm getting ~150ms on a g920i with Xtrestolite 2.4 without any audio mods. I think it's the rom since others are getting ~40ms.

Probably more to do with the fact Xtrestolite is using an older samsung base.
[Galaxy S6 General] sapnesh:
I doubt older base is the issue. It's not like samsung figured out how to reduce the Latency by more than half in just months When it took google so much time [emoji6]
