[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi lapocompris,

It seems indeed you did not understand my question...

I know I can do that. But I think I mentioned in a post above that doing this only results in the message "Cannot verify file"... and so I can't update that way.

But it's over now... I got my unlock code, so unlocked the bootloader and got rid of that horrible MIUI interface ! At least, I find it horrible, but as it's quite popular, I think I am about the only one to not like it :(

Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] dbesada:
I seriously hate miui as well. I find the font on the status bar very small and inconvenient to read. The notification drawer is very bad and handling notifications requires a lot of hassle. It seems to be the case that most of the chinese manufacturers are going the iOS like UI and interface which I, as a long time android user, effing hate! They take out the app drawer, they throw all apps on home screens without proper optimization for organizing them. There is some unnecessary bloatware as well like antivirus crap and memory cleaners.

I found the dev rom to be much more stable than the global stable rom which is funny.

I flashed cm13 which has been working great with very minor bugs and great battery life.

The biggest problem I have right now is not being able to install enterprise apps because the phone has custom recovery and rooted.

To be honest it's my fault that I didn't do my research about the interfaces implemented on top of android by chinese manufacturers . I assumed since this is android then I won't see much BS but damn!

I thought about getting a one plus 3 but their subreddit has pointed out a **** ton of problems which I can not live with plus 5.5" screen vs 5.2" makes a huge difference.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] porselinaheart:
Just to provide some current info, I was in the same position of the op with a modified China rom. Requested unlock code and got a reply in about 30 mins. Unlocked the bootloader easily (make sure u sign in to same mi account on ur pc as the one on your phone.) Next step was flashing a FASTBOOT rom file. This was a problem as installing the required qualcomm drivers in Windows 10 using the faqs on the forums was not successful. Turns out there is a new windows installation package that is signed so windows recognises and uses it. Wasted a lot of time before I found this but actual flashing of global dev rom took like 2-3 mins after thay

Waiting till they incorporate support for capacitive home button before I switch to cm13

Hi guys,

There is a working solution to Unbrick LG G4 phones , the solution actually works For the H811:

H811 Unbrick

This solution relies on mmcblk0 dump file. There are people with other variants that can't find the dump files, so if someone happens to have a Rooted G4 with TWRP installed please help to save some G4

you can dump the first 512MB of the mmcblk0 with this command from either terminal emulator or adb shell :

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump/dump.img bs=512MB count=1

after that please upload the dump.img file to a file sharing platform like dropbox , mediafire, mega.co.nz , google drive

and share the link and the variant here :)

Please help others :)

all the variants are welcome to join the party :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solamour:
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump.img bs=512MB count=1
dd: block size `512MB': illegal number

I think I need to specify the block size in bytes. What number shall I use?

[Nextbit Robin] tlxxxsracer:
No battery charging light, no way to disable notification light pulse while in DND.

Strange, there are apps that aren't showing up in "apps with usage access" greenify and screenwise meter require this on.

This rom makes the phone buttery smooth and fast! It's a whole new beast that's for sure.

Edit: attached is a general log. There's some quirkiness to the rom.
[Nextbit Robin] XxXPachaXxX:
Best custom rom ever tried on the Robin. Totally lagfree, smooth and bugless.

Btw working speakerphone here, like everything else. No bugs, maybe only floating peek have some issues.

Yeah, it actually works after clearing my cache and dalvik + a reboot. Overall the rom is working pretty great now

Android wear bluetooth battery optimization

Morning all. I have been using this Rom for about 5 days now and I love everything about it except 2 things: Android Wear and Bluetooth optimization for it. I use the Huawei Watch and on the stock ROM, my phone battery lasts about a day and a half of light use with the watch connected at all times. And if I were to go into battery stats, everything would look normal. Since switching to PA, My battery lasts barely 4 hours when I'm not using it. When I look at the battery stats, it shows Bluetooth just draining it 99%. Are there some tweaks you plan on doing to this ROM in order for Smartwatch users to be able to use this as well? This ROM is awesome, but unless there is some sort of fix for this, I can't use it. :( Is anyone else having this issue? I am willing to provide logs as well, if someone can advise me how to take them.
[Nextbit Robin] Nextbit_Khang:
Hey thanks for pointing this out! You can do an adb logcat, or download aLogcat to get the log: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en
[Nextbit Robin] TheCrazyLex:
Thank you very much we will investigate the cause of the issue :)
[Nextbit Robin] sauroz:
I have the same issue with my Pebble, battery stats reported Bluetooth percentage 126%!!

As reported on Nextbit Community thread, I have several problems on phone calls, some freeze and reboots (the last one today, using Waze).

And a very huge battery drain, mainly on mobile network activities (not only for data, but for phone signal too).

With the Stock ROM, battery lasts more than a day; actually, I'm charging 2-3 times a day, when the main usage for me is on email (Gmail with Exchange working account).

Hope next version could work better on my Robin! :)
[Nextbit Robin] Nextbit_Khang:
Can you provide a log? That would definitely help the team!
[Nextbit Robin] dorupero:
Bluetooth is weird. There is miscalculation on the battery usage.
[Nextbit Robin] mgateno:

[Nextbit Robin] sd1esel:
Has anyone gotten Viper4Android to work in this ROM? I placed the APK in priv-app to install it, but sound isn't processed.
[Nextbit Robin] Mcihael:
Same (Bluetooth) battery issues

I'm having the same problems as others, so far. I have a Pebble watch with me at all time, which means bluetooth stays on at all times. My battery is less than optimal after flashing PA. Whenever I check the battery page, Bluetooth is the only thing that shows up. No Screen, or WiFi, or any other apps for that matter.

Don't know how to share screenshots here, but it's more or less identical. 80% battery left, battery page shows 20% of battery taken by Bluetooth.
[Nextbit Robin] sabresfan:
I'm currently running CM but has the same problem. Amplify seems to have fixed this Bluetooth bug for me.
[Nextbit Robin] Mcihael:
Another recurring issue

My speakers seem to have stopped working. I've missed like 3 alarms now, but the first two were likely from running out of battery, so I didn't really look into it. I missed today's alarm, and wanted to test out the speakers by blasting some music. Nothing comes out.

Note, this only happened after I flashed Paranoid Android. I'm going back to Stock until this is sorted out.
[Nextbit Robin] TheCrazyLex:
Speakers are working fine here. Can you maybe provide a log?
[Nextbit Robin] Mcihael:
Sorry, no can do. Already reverted back to stock...
[Nextbit Robin] TheCrazyLex:
Please don't report non reproducable issues if you cannot provide a log :)
[Nextbit Robin] Mcihael:
Lesson learned. Next time then.
[Nextbit Robin] valhallen.282:
I would like to concur on the Bluetooth issues. This is since morning on a fresh install. Before you ask everything finished syncing last night. Will work towards getting a log cat tomorrow. I have to learn how to do that first.
[Nextbit Robin] valhallen.282:
Attaching a log cat of the last one hour. Lost an additional 20% out of which 2% is attributed to reboot for installation of SuperSu

EDIT - Let me know if you need longer logcats. Tomorrow i can do those for you.
[Nextbit Robin] valhallen.282:
Well it was still running on charge and guess what three hours later I'm only at 60% battery.

Also another problem. Arrow launcher hates this ROM. It wouldn't boot while trying to restore backup from Google when I shifted from AiCP to this ROM. And now it crashed twice so bye bye arrow launcher. I've reported it to them as well.
[Nextbit Robin] bossman16:
Does anyone know how to install the Kernel i try to install it using TWRP and i keep getting a error of "meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary" any one know how to fix this or install it properly? Thanks in advanced
[Nextbit Robin] Mingventador:

Hmm i think pa kernel kill 1 big core, 2 little core right?

So antutu score 49903 - 51300. Of course antutu score isn't everything. I know.

I have another device has snapdragon 808. MOTO X PURE.

MOTO X PURE is also hot, but pure nexus rom and kernel is cool.

I find like that. but it is too hard..

[Nextbit Robin] yungpeterparker:
Great ROM!

Totally looking forward to the next updates this ROM will be receiving, flashed onto my Robin and it works almost perfectly, aside from some glitches, such as the phone rebooting when I open the camera app, however, I believe that's due to me freezing it in Titanium back up.

I'll make sure to flash once more, especially with recommended GAPPS!

Hoping to see that Bluetooth fix though, it sucks to see the battery absolutely drain after listening to 5 songs on my home sound bar.
[Nextbit Robin] dukhasatia:
bluetooth issue

Same issue with bluetooth here.

Using it to listen to music at home with portable BT speaker.

i65.tinypic.com/jtsx9l.png

Also what makes me worry:

Phone heats (upper back) with any kind of intensive (and not so) activity

browsing, calls, even music player on the go (with headphones)!

PS I'm not sure if it correct to ask here, but one thing I miss so much since I left Cyanogen is moving cursor with volume buttons when printing, isn't it so much effort to emplement in future ? ))

PPS Ah and I can't find gestures section, and when using search it is and it has on/off swith but no any other options!

[General Topics] scar45:
Hey guys,

I posted a little teaser for my skin/theme, and I've got some pretty positive feedback/lots of traffic to my site. I have now released the theme in it's entirety, and it is available on my site for which you can find the link at the bottom of this post.

Lots of time and development have been put into creating this, and I couldn't have done it without the majority of graphics from Corleno. Thanks to him for allowing me to 'remix' his Wisbar Advance theme, "Vista Pocket".

Anyways, take a look at the pics below, and find a link to the download at my site. Sorry I did not post the actual files here, but posting it on my own site will allow me to update the theme easily if need be, and people from many other sites can comment on it there too. I really hope you enjoy this, as it took me much longer than it should have! (I'm not surprised, because I'm a pixel-perfectionist)

Full installation instructions can be found on my site, as well as the link to the actual .zip file itself. Check that out here:

protogenLabs.com - VistaMobile PocketPC VGA and QVGA theme finally completed!

(P.S. - HTC

PLEASE

RELEASE THE OMNI! Us Universal owners deserve a respectable successor!!)
[General Topics] zeeshansohail:
ok dude, i'm impressed! One question though, http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/ have two softwares listed:

1) Wisbar Advance 3.1.0.4

2) Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7

Which one of these is required on my JASJAR to have your theme installed and fully functional?!?
[General Topics] scar45:
Hey man, glad you enjoy the theme. You actually need both of the software titles that you mentioned above. "Wisbar Advance (WA)" AND "Wisbar Advance Desktop (WAD)". That version of WAD should give you no problems, however I built and test this theme only on WA v2, and not the newest v3. I'm sure that it will work in v3, since I don't believe anything major has changed, however I cannot guarantee that since I only tested it with v2.

If you do try out v3, please let us know how it works.

Thanks!
[General Topics] /b/-TarD:
Hey, excellent skin.. but will it consume alot of memory, last time i installed wisbar advance on my uni and it lagged until the camera app cannot be initiated
[General Topics] scar45:
Hi /b/-TarD,

That's actually a great question you ask. I have never had any memory issues with my Uni while running this theme. I also just checked my current memory status after a fresh reboot, and "DesktopApp.exe" (Wisbar Advance Desktop) is using 2.56mb of RAM, while "wisbaradv2.exe" (Wisbar Advance) is using 303kb of RAM.

This makes sense to me because the WAD theme is much more detailed and has larger graphics than the WA skin. For me, its worth sacrificing 2.9mb of RAM to run this theme set. I hope you'll agree too ;)

Let me know if you do run into any issues with RAM usage, but I can tell you that everything works fine for me!
[General Topics] hooperman:
this is a great skin however i have had a few problems, not sure if it is the skin or my setings, i am using it on a SPV M5000 running WAD and WA2, not had issues with other sking but my machine keeps on "freezing" after a short while and the only way to respore it is to so a soft reset and load the skin up again. WAD and WA2 are installed to my SD card, dont think that that is the problem though

Any idea's ....????????
[General Topics] scar45:
Hey Hooperman, I would have personally installed WA + WAD to the Main Memory and NOT the Storage Card. I know this requires a fair bit of free space in the Main Memory, but WA + WAD will definitely respond faster and keep running optimally.

My theme has been downloaded a sh*tload of times, and I haven't heard anyone else with your problems, so I would think that having your WA/WAD on the Storage Card is definitely the issue.

If you have the space, try installing WA/WAD to the Main Memory and let us know how it goes...

Hope this helps!

I'm having problem installing the theme.,maybe having trouble on where to copy the components.,I've succesfully installed the vista theme but when i load up the theme for wad.,I only got empty squares.,pls help me out

your theme is so cool.,forgive me Im new..
[General Topics] scar45:
Hi azzkicker, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. It's quite unfortunate that the WAD skin is not working for you. Not to single you out, but no one else has contacted me with the issues you are having, which leads me to believe that you just haven't copied the folder structures properly.

Read my blog post again here, and make sure that you copy each of the files/folders EXACTLY where I described in that post.

Hope this helps!

Hope you don't mind

scar45,

I happened upon your post last night and I have to tell you this is one awesome theme! I hope you don't mind, but I modified it for QVGA. I've only completed the portrait_QVGA so far, but I'm working on the landscape tonight or maybe tomorrow. Here's what it looks like on my Wizard......
[General Topics] scar45:
Hey there kcguy,

First off, let me say that I have no problem with you creating a QVGA version of my theme. I just request that you keep all graphics as high-quality as you can, so that the theme doesn't lose it's visual appeal.

Also, please just send me a private message before you release the theme, so that we can ensure that everyone who participated in it's development is credited properly. I can also (and prefer to) host the QVGA version for you on my protogenLabs.com website.

Let me know how it's coming along, and if the above sounds good to you. Looking forward to seeing your work!

-scar
[General Topics] kcguy:
not a problem

scar45,

I didn't modify any of your graphics, only edited the sizes to fit the QVGA format. I'd be happy to send it to you so you can release it. That is the way it should be, since a lot of effort went into the design.

I have modified the landscape files also, but have had no success getting it to display when I'm in landscape mode. My wizard switches from portrait to landscape when you slide the qwerty out. Any ideas why it won't display? Only displays the default wisbar desktop theme in landscape, but instantly goes back to your theme when I close the keyboard and go back to portrait mode.
[General Topics] luniz97:
kcguy, can you post your qvga format? I would like to try this on my HTC hermes. Thanks.
[General Topics] scar45:
hey kcguy,

Thanks for the effort you've put into making a QVGA version of my theme. I'm not sure why the landscape mode won't work, as I didn't run into the same problem as you. What I might suggest is to put the device in landscape mode, then try to re-select the landscape version of the theme, and hopefully it will stick (vistaMobile_L_(Q)VGA).

Anyways, let me know when you've completed the theme, and please send this to no one else but myself first, and following that, I will package it up for download and host it on my site.

Hope it's still coming along nicely!

-scar
[General Topics] kcguy:
It's complete

Hey scar45,

I don't know what the issue is with the landscape mode, but I have a work- around, if anybody else has the same issue. On my wizard, I had to open the landscape QVGA while in portrait mode on my phone as well as WAD. I then rotated the screne 90 deg. to the right so it displayed properly, opened my qwerty which switched the device to landscape mode, and no more problems. When you receive the zip file back, you'll notice that p_QVGA now shows two pages, 0 & 1 which I assume is because I opened the L_QVGA in portrait mode, but for whatever reason, it now works perfectly. I am trying to send you the files as we speak so you can take a look and decide if you want to release them. Thanks for the awesome theme!
[General Topics] soalle:
Hi is there possible to have a similar home screen for smartphone QVGA?
[General Topics] scar45:
Heya soalle,

At this point, I would say that this theme is not possible to use on a Smartphone QVGA device. The main core of the theme is based on Wisbar Advance/Wisbar Advance Desktop, and I don't believe that this program is available for the Smartphone version of Windows Mobile.

I wish there was a way that I could develop it for that, but unfortunately there isn't at this point in time.

I will be releasing kcguy's QVGA version of my theme for PocketPCs, so if you obtain one of those devices (or better yet, a VGA PPC), then you would be able to use this theme set.

Keep an eye out on this post though, and if anyone finds a way to make this theme usable on a Smartphone QVGA device, it will surely be posted here.

Thanks!
