[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CyberSpiderPrime:
miro_j,

I am having similar issues with all editors:

Example: my editor of choice at the moment is Jota (wish Notetab Light had an Android version)

(external memory = SD Card, USB NAND device (flash drive by any other name), hard drive through powered hub, etc.)

Copy/Move file from external memory to internal memory

Edit file with Jota and save (internally)

Copy/Move from internal memory to external memory

(note that using the Copy option has the file manager changing the copied filename to *(number).*, which can be useful for versioning, since the previous file already exists)

To the others reading: his op has nothing to do with the file manager (except as a way to create an open file request) and everything to do with the rw permissions denied to the editor for the external device. Like me, he is wanting an environment similar to pre-KitKat where the user had full access to external devices (SD Card, USB, etc.). I know several File Managers have the option to manipulate files on external sources but they do NOT pass that same functionality to other apps (read yes, write no).

This is the main reason I want a reliable way to root my devices (I haven't found one that works with my RCA tablets yet, tablet only and tablet/PC methods have been tried), just to add the following/modify platform.xml:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

(or similar as needed)

I have also tried the platform.xml patch/update apps/zips from XDA and other sites but to no avail.

As a security fix, blanket denial is a bonehead maneuver. Having the system save function ask the user if the requested save action is permitted on a per event basis would alert the user when an app is trying to modify the external device in an unwanted manner (Program 'suchnsuch' is attempting to write file 'blahblablah.txt' to 'device': Allow Deny), the app could also have sandbox access to its special folder (as it is currently set in this post-Kitkat world). Allowing the user to encrypt the external device (mainly the SD Card) so it can be used as an extension of the main internal memory defeats the purpose since it is no longer portable/mobile (you have to reformat the SD Card to use it in another device which wipes it, making it a moot point for transferring data. So long and thanks for the missing permissions Mr. Google).

The sad thing about the special folder option is that if you haven't transferred the data out of it beforehand, the data within is wiped when you uninstall the app.

Hi all

My other half has had a oneplus one for a few weeks and wanting something with the same horsepower but a little different in design I went for the Z1.

I find the Z1 quality in colour reproduction and brightness to be lacking compared to the Oneplus one both running CM.

Anyone care to comment ?

Please see the link below for some quick photos I snapped Z1 on the left , oneplus on the right

Many Thanks !
[Zuk Z1 General] h0LLe:
Hey,

adaptive brightness and livedisplay has been off right ?

I checked my white Z1 once against a white iphone 6 plus and couldnt see much of a difference.

Against a black sony z3 compact the zuk z1 display is a bit more greenish .. the sony z3 display is pretty cold.

one tip, dont compare the ones to often. i once bought a used iphone 4s where the display has been swapped ... it freaked me out so much that i had to sell it because ive always seen the difference.

in normal day usage you wont see a tint.

edit: did you compare the devices without a screen protection? those can have quite an influence.

did u tried to configure your display in the settings? u can set the level of blue red and green colour
[Zuk Z1 General] XDA-Heinz:
Yes, I think that`s literally the only major drawback of the Z1, the screen quality is really not too exciting. Make sure to color calibration in COS, my screen was way too yellowish before.
[Zuk Z1 General] SoulRipper:
I have 2 Zuk Z1 devices. The oldest one has a better screen (same system, clean install).
[Zuk Z1 General] koulis1984:
Hi thank you all for your responses.

Adaptive brightness and live display were off.

I started playing around with some colour calibration to see if thing will improve.

Soulripper that would explain a lot of they switches panel supplier .
[Zuk Z1 General] SoulRipper:
As you can see here: http://xdaforums.com/zuk-z1/help/batch-screen-t3336418

I could obtain a satisfying result by playing with colour calibration, but it isn't as good.
[Zuk Z1 General] h0LLe:
i compared the iphone 6s plus of my brother with my own z1 and found my z1 display has warmer colors then the iphones. with livedisplay day 6800k it has the same color like the iphone display.
[Zuk Z1 General] koulis1984:
Thank you all ! I have been playing with the live display option and things have improved.

Also I have stopped looking at other phones :)

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hampa:
They've not released them yet right?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] SedyBenoitPeace:
No, but they released yet source code for some recents phone like Mi4S or Redmi 3...then probably soon we will have source code for Mi 5 (i wish at least because i'm planning to buy the phone)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hampa:
Same here, I will buy it when it has some development and hopefully a official CM then I will buy it instantly!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] tnttrx:
+1 :good:

CM should be able to bring full featured Marshmallow to it (not cut-down version Xiaomi delivers), should have no bloadware, no backdoors and should be able to provide some normal camera app which will fully utilizes provided hardware.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hampa:
Truly amazing beast with CM, wouldn't need to change phone within at least 1½ year :D

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ExArkos:
Same here, the hardware is awesome. But software is a peace of crap. I am a Nexus User and I would love to have more or less stock Android. Then I would buy that phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hampa:
Why aren't manufactuers releasing their kernels? I'm waiting frustratedly on kernels over at Oneplus 2 aswell. Need CM there so bad.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] lallolu:
I thougjt oneplus 2 have good ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
There are a lot of answers to this question and each and every brand has it's own.

It can vary from: We want people to have our Stock OS, to we like to violate the GPLv2, to we are horrible bad a writing code (nobody shall see that),.... and goes on forever.

In Xiaomis case I think it is much more simple: It's a Chinese company! (That says a lot, if you want more ask.)

It's a pity to see!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] 11prathmesh:
I have been using MI 3 for around 2 years now. And certainly don't see any necessity of changing the phone. But I doubt xiaomi will release the source code for MI 5. They didn't release it for mi pad despite of so many fan requests. Moreover, the bootloader is locked. What a way of ruining the beasty hardware.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hampa:
Thanks for the clarification. I guess this will never happend then, and to stick to miui, I've not tested it personally.

I've come to understand you can unlock it quite simple. Yet custom roms on this device seems like a big nono.

Another question. How is the updates on miui global rom? weekly?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] 11prathmesh:
In terms of updates, xiaomi is quite fast. Global devs version is updated weekly. And marshmallow based MIUI 7 is a completely different android experience.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
I do not get why Nexus users don't try MIUI before buying the phone! There are so many of em! And only a few try outMIUI before buying a phone that is limited to MIUI.

Xiaomi also gives long support, the Mi 5 will surely get Android N and whatever comes after. As long as you like MIUI, having a XIaomi is great!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] lsauer:
It is no surprise the thread was closed so fast. Xiaomi is 'subsidizing' their mobile phone sales with the long-term outlook of being the new Chinese-Google, in the same way that console makers do not make enough profit off their consoles to allow for carefree business operation. Rather they sell software, services and additional hardware at a steep price.

Without the premise of providing services in a given country and a lucrative outlook, said country will not be supported as an official Xiaomi sales country.

However most likely the kernel-source topic is already collectively covered in an FAQ somewhere, - and reading and searching is part of the forum's etiquette - to which one agrees upon registering.

As ultimateSpace said, one can agree that MIUI is good. Xiaomi started out as a company by merely providing MIUI as a software product. However Android has radically improved since version 3.x.

However MIUI is such a radically different take in user design (UI)) and interaction (UX). Android is increasingly complex. Let's be honest. Who here hasn't youtubed some Android related instructions at some point or another.

Speaking for myself I really am not keen on learning two platforms, especially when undoubtedly ASOP + Google stack / Google Android outshines the competition.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hampa:
If we get official CM we will see long term support aswell. They're giving out updates very generously.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] sas06:
Xiaomi has released kernel sources for Mi5. So official CM support should be coming soon.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
So about after 6 months or so. I'm guessing mi 5s will have same time frame :(
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Rickdaddy:
I will still order the mi 5s and wait for cm13
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] 33bca:
the CM with prebuilt Kernel is also pretty nice, it has better battery than stock and is very stable ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] La Yung:
Me too.Love Cm base rom :D

But here very few rom development. Hope more dev will support our device.:)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokdash1208:
I recently bought Honor 7 from Hong Kong online.

The EMUI version installed is Chinese.

I have changed all settings to English. Keyboard, language etc. So, google play and others are in English.

But, the Huawei installed apps, browser and all other, like the downloadable themes, display Chinese and there is no option to change that to English.

Can anyone help me install or update the EMUI installed to display in English instead of Chinese?

Is it possible?

Hi,

New version of AA is in the Play Store! v1.5.100945 v1.6.226040 (2710411-release). :)

After initial tests, it's seems to be more robust in connectivity with the HU... less disconnections and more fast connection. Even more, more robust with the HeadUnit Android App (thank you, Mike!).

Please, post here yours feelings.

Where can we found version 1.6

on the store there is the v 1.5

No update found

My working condition are moto g titan on Cyanpop 6.2 and vw mib2

The problem appears when we have a poor signal on the data connection.

The ARM64 version of 1.6 appeared to work on my Priv. Version v1.5.100945 shows a date of March 23, 2016 on the Web Play Store and December 2, 2015 on the Priv Play store. Go figure.

I also received an email from Google yesterday saying 1.6 would be released yesterday and that it would fix my connection problems. It didn't. The version on the mirrors didn't anyway.
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
Thanks for posting and testing. :)

I have it running on my Nexus 9 and Nexus 6p, both running most recent Android N dev preview.

The old self mode works reliably again now ! (SP2P on latest released Jan 20 version of my Headunit app).

So Google fixed the Android Auto over Wifi stuff ; perhaps some OEMs are working on AA over Wifi now.
[Android Auto General] wogeboy:
Sadly, didnt fix any issues I had with my 2016 vw and note 4. AA still has alot of work to do
[Android Auto General] manos78:
Hi Mike,

Can you explain more about "AA over WiFi"? :)
[Android Auto General] rockambole:
A new build is available (1.6.226040 (2710411-release)).
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
AA can run over Wifi instead of USB. Google has never announced this. Apple has, for CarPlay, but theirs is still in perpetual beta.

I've done it, but it can lag a bit if your airwaves/wifi is congested.

It also always disconnects sooner or later, but I could probably nake it auto-reconnect with some work.

IMO, the practicality of AA over Wifi (or Apple CarPlay) is limited. Phones usually need to charge, particularly with GPS, Wifi, BT, data and phone calls and multiple apps all sucking up battery and getting the phone warm.
[Android Auto General] manos78:
I know, this is the reason I always connect my phone when driving my car.

However, for 10 minutes or less driving time, why I need to connect the phone for charging? AA is by far, more powerful than the car's MIB head. So, I prefer to have the option of using WiFi when the USB is not connected.

After this discussion, please, can you explain how to run AA over Wifi? :confused:
[Android Auto General] manos78:
No info?

I like to use a Qi charger with my phone and AA over Wifi. If this possible? :confused:

Some photos of HiBook:

Chuwi HiBook is one of the most cost-effective 2-in-1 tablet. Chuwi official price about this tablet is $239, but now the Amazon sale price is only $209. Compared to other 10.1 inch 2-in-1 tablets, I think it's very reasonable and affordable.

Is there only gray Chuwi HiBook? I am interested in this tablet, but i perfer gold tablet. Is there an optional color?
[Device Reviews and Information] PetaX8:
I consider buying this to replace my old onda v919
[Device Reviews and Information] modelman1968:
I just received my new Chuwi HiBook from a well known Chinese seller. I've been playing with it for the last few hours. Firstly Chinese bloatware uninstalled without any hassle.... And stayed uninstalled. Physically the tablet is quality, the metal backplate is particularly pleasing although it does warm up significantly when performing multiple tasks. I noticed this particularly when mass installing my favorite apps. The screen is crisp and clear, blemish free. So far very little lag, but it's early days. Most of the games I play are strategy so I can't really tell. Only one annoyance, the speakers are right where your hands are when holding the tablet so although Chuwi have considerably improved the speaker performance, it's wasted when they're often covered by your hands when gaming.

Hopefully this thread will grow as more people receive their tablets.
[Device Reviews and Information] legollas99:
In order to watch movies, surf in the internet, read and office is this enough ? Is this fluid ? I think it should have 4G technology!
[Device Reviews and Information] modelman1968:
The CHUWI HiBook is WiFi only, there is no 3g or 4g version. I've been streaming films and watching downloaded video via Wi-Fi with smooth results. My comment about the speakers earlier is less important when watching video as you don't tend to be holding the device. As with ask new hardware I'm still getting to grips with it, I've found a few games which wrong run properly which is disappointing, but they weren't problems connected to processor speed.

I accept the fact that this is a budget tablet which is trying to be a pc as well, there are frustrations, but short of paying twice the price I don't think you'll find anything much better. It's early days, I could eat my words but there's already been a m OTA update pushed from Chuwi so they're obviously attending to issues.

It would be good to see some developers playing with one of these, the potential is good.
[Device Reviews and Information] Starzi:
Heard that CHUWI HiBook 2 Ultrabook will coming soon, what's the differece of these two models?
[Device Reviews and Information] modelman1968:
No idea. ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] seiferfury:
Maybe you misread that, The first HiBook has just been launched but now you're saying they're launching a successor this quickly?

Anyway I got mine too and I'm loving the metal back. Charging via Type-C is fast too, even faster than my Hi8. I can't root Android using the existing guides on the internet, but the good news is the bootloader can be unlocked (I used the fastboot command instead of developer options, that doesn't work). I think this needs a custom TWRP to flash SuperSU properly, but no builds for the HiBook are available.
[Device Reviews and Information] modelman1968:
Hopefully a kindly dev will invest in a HiBook and get some ROMS started. From my point of view I'm not going to root it until I see a firmware listing. I've asked Chuwi to post it on their site and they seemed willing. They opened a forum for me so they seem quite helpful.

I'm really enjoying my new book, a few frustrations but on the whole it's a good machine. Kodi runs super smoothly with the "lateralus" build from the "easy kodi setup" app. Let's keep this thread active and share any additional links and information we find.

Hi, I'm very intrested in this tablet but I got some questions.

Is it charging on USB Type-C?

What about the micro-USB port? Does it support OTG? Is it possible to connect a external 2,5" HDD?

On my Teclast X98 Plus this is not posdible, the tsb does not deliver enough current! I also have really great problems with sd card on windows so I will send it back and hopefully get my money back to buy a Chuwi HiBook.

Kind regards

Hello,

Chuwi HiBook has micro-USB port and USB Type-C port ( Power interface). It also support OTG function. I think it is a good tablet.
[Device Reviews and Information] avalanche99:
So you can connect a 2,5" hard disk drive with a OTG cable without extra power for the hatd disk?

Does the tablet deliver enough power? Is the tablet recognizing the hard disk?

If it does, I will get one too.

Kind regards

[Device Reviews and Information] emily16:
Sorry, I haven't try to connect a external 2,5" HDD So i can't give you a definite answer right now. But the most tablets need extra power for the hard disk. Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] avalanche99:
I want to buy one that doesn't need extra power like the asus transfomer pad tf300 or Acer Iconia I had before .....

It's an important spec for me.

Could you try this for me if you got the time? Would be very nice from you.

Kind regards

[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
Hi avalanche99, you're talking about the keyboard? Because if it comes down to it you could plug it directly into the tablet USB port itself. Also any reports on battery life?
