[Remix OS for PC] galaxynote2:
Well yes, I have Intel integrated graphics (I think it's the Intel HD 530 IIRC) but it seems that the laptop forces the Nvidia chip to run first. Even forcing the Integrated graphics to run it will not boot, The only way to get it booting is by disabling both and let the CPU do all the work. Some laptops have an option to set the priority video mode, but mine doesn't seems to have such option. So yes, the best thing to do is wait until Remix OS team manages to fix this.. thanks!

Any word on how long the pixels will get software updates?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mitchst2:
No change regards updates.

Somewhat disappointing given the fact they are trying to sell this phone on a strong software slant.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
I agree 2 years of updates, that's a shame....

iPhone have like 4 years. Is truth that the performance decrease with each update....So let's say they have..3 years of "good" updates.

The Pixel, for that price, should have 3-4 years at least.

And I'm quoting the iPhone because, I consider both Apple's and Google's phones the best you can buy today if you want vanilla experience and long support.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mitchst2:
iPhone is a fair comparison given the new price point. Given that there was no hidden standout hardware feature, carrying over the Nexus update schedule is a mistake IMO.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] AZTX:
I would seriously consider the Pixel if it had an update life cycle similar to Apple. I may pick up a 5X for the time being and see how the Pixel does.

I've been reading for about 2 hours now and i know it can be done since your going up but i cant seem to find one that is fully compiled description on one thread I've never rooted before.

I know i could figure it out if time permitted but i just dont have the time 3 kids and my fiance bit**ng at me because we switched to T Mobile from ATT since it was cheaper but without the T Mobile kernels she doesnt get the enhanced LTE up here or the 2G tower that is up on the mountain. So needless to say if someone could help me out and everyone else id be greatly appreciative to just compile the complete walk through for noobs like me and fiances like her.. ;)

Lastly, if throwing some BTC for helping in this work through for your time to write it all up id be happy to do so a couple of dollars to get her to leave me alone for a couple of hours before its something new its worth it lol.

Thank You,

--This tread is ONLY for YOTAPHONE 2 with Lollipop (and maybe kitkat too, marshmellow uses separate a separate file for every app)--

Hi all,

So you probably have noticed that the e-ink on the yotaphone2 has 2 modes. One is black and white and has a 8Hz refresh rate and the other mode has 16 different levels / tones of gray but has a very slow refresh rate of less than 2Hz.

So that is why when you work in mirroring mode, you will never see shades of gray but instead they just use dithering to make look like that when actually just using black and white.

This is good for responsiveness but its not what you want when you are trying to read a manga on the e-ink display / epd.

Fortunately, you can configure it easily so that it works in the slow mode.

You can do (even without root!) this by editing the following file on the sd-card: /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumManager/mirroring.cfg

This is exactly what the yotamirrorcfg program from this tread does.

However, the problem seems to be that this file needs to be edited differently for the same results depending on which firmware you have. So I wanted to post here what config I am using, or more precisely: what I added to the mirroring.cfg file for making manga look nice on the epd.

My firmware is the latest russian lollipop firmware (LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.132) and I use mangarock for reading manga. I think this will work on any lollipop version higher than the 1.119 since after that they changed something about this config it seems.

On the 1.119 version, you can work with the program from this tread and just turn local refresh on.

Below is what I added to /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumManager/mirroring.cfg with a text editor.

The effect should be immediately visible after saving the edited file and turning (off and) on mirroring mode. I hope it helps some people, let me know if you find a better configuration or if you people want a new app for this, I can make one if I see it matters to a lot of people ;).

Guy where you pick up LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.132? my YotaPhone can't find any update...

Sorry if is off topic
[YotaPhone] satsuki_yatoshi:
i think it's a typo, the lastest version is the 5.0.0-RU1.1.124
[YotaPhone] tomgaga:
No its not a typo, now its already 134 by the way: check the screenshot. If you have RU firmware, it should give you the option to update from 124.
[YotaPhone] satsuki_yatoshi:
I can't get it works with 1.134 (was fine with 1.124b)

Is it ok for you with lastest ru update ?
[YotaPhone] tomgaga:
Yes it works for me on 1.134, it is possible though that the /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumManager/mirroring.cfg file was overwritten when you did the update so you have to edit it again...

I've done it but don't seems to be used anymore T_T.

Just did it. I seems to work wonders. Any idea how i can do this with ten comicrack and Marvel Unlimited app?

Thanks in advance

Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk
[YotaPhone] Amplificator:
It still works. Here is the API documentation for various settings such as waveform and dithering:

https://yotaphone.com/developer/docs/develop/api-guides/general-software-architecture/

---------- Post added at 19:09 ---------- Previous post was at 19:05 ----------

Just change the package name to fit whatever app you want.. the link I gave above to API documentation show the options you can change.

You can find the package name by either looking in Settings on your phone or just by looking up the app on the Play Store.

For Marvel Unlimited it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marvel.unlimited

Thus the com.marvel.unlimited is the app name.

So if you want the same settings that OP uses for his manga reader, just switch change the app name to the Marvel one:

[com.marvel.unlimited]
sharpening=0.2
slowmode=true
main_waveform=PARTIAL
main_dithering=NONE

Changes to mirroring.cfg take effect after closing and reopening the app you added a setting for.

I added some ringtones to my phone and I can't assign them to text messages. The songs only appear under incoming calls. How do I get them to show up under text messages and e-mail alerts and stuff like that?
[General Topics] cushcalc:
Assign Ringtone to Text Messages

Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications>Event>Messaging: New text message - then pick your sound (any ringtone that is in \Windows should show up)

Edit: Also any ringtone in \Storage Card\My Documents shows up for me also.
[General Topics] CaptainOats25:
It doesn't show up under there...they only show up under incoming calls.
[General Topics] jackryan57:
You need to store the ring tone in the \windows directory on your phone.
[General Topics] funy:
what format are the tones you put on?
[General Topics] CaptainOats25:
The ringtones are in .mp3 format. I put them under /windows in the rings folder and they still do not show up.

Try putting them in \APPLICATION DATA\SOUNDS

This is where I have mine, and they always show up in the default lists that WM5 reads from.

Hey guys I was looking for suggestions on the best or at least most stable Full N7 port that could work with our Verizon Note 4s. I've been looking but I haven't found much honestly nor do I know what variants can work on our phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFriend26:
check out the note 4 general (quallcom) section there are a 2 or 3 full note 7 ports that CAN be stable, with the data fixs , some .buildprop editing , kernel tweaking. I think right now its a bit of what you can get to work for you. If you head over to that section and search verizon there are some of us that have tried them all with varying success. I am running X rom v3, with a louforgiveno data fix that he modified the build prop for. It took some time to get right combo but I have been using as daily driver for a little while.

Try factory reset and remove all power to the headunit for 1 minute (Disconnect battery.) If this does not resolve the issue, suggest contacting supplier for MCU and Android Firmware update. Failing that, return to supplier.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thafngame24:
Has it been confirmed anywhere how much out of the box storage we will have with either the 32gb or 128gb Pixels? My 32 gb 6p had 25gb out of box. Im trying to find out of it will be less than 25gb since the Pixel will have the dual partitions for faster/background updates. I did manage to find a screenshot somebody took from the Android Police hands on demo and it shows 29gb available out of box. I will attach the screenshot. Im not sure if that will be same for the retail phones or if these are only demo phones so they might not take up as much space.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
So there's 22gb's available, since 8gb of the 30 is already used up.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cjhoney:
I got the 'quite dark, XL, 32GB'... I am wondering now if I should have upgraded to the 128 GB. Pictures/Video in the cloud will be great, but I am wondering how much space the VR apps will consume.

32GB is pretty lean for a device without an SD card. I don't need the room for pics or music anymore but although I swear this phone won't need rooted, if I DO go there, I'll need room for ROMs & backups.

On my s7 they're around 500mb to 1gb, definitely not small. You'll run out of space quickly.

From what I've heard/seen, it doesn't seem to be much different than the 6P, so hopefully it's the same. I personally don't mind as I still have 14GB free on my 6P. I don't use VR apps or games, so most of the space is for apps, pictures/videos, music.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
Hi, quick question. Is there no option to record video without sound after update to 6.0.1? Mute option in camera settings mutes only shutter sounds.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
I'm on the verge of picking up a new phone. I originally wanted the Note 7, but waited and then heard about the LG V20 with its Quad Dac. I'm still holding out hope that the Pixel XL has some really nice audio out capabilities (at least better than my Xperia Z3v or Galaxy Note 3). I prefer the quicker updates the Pixel will get, but still. My main use right now would be the 128gb model as I use my phone everyday for listening to music (as well as typical phone stuff). I refuse to carry a DAP and a phone. So basically, what do you guys think? I haven't seen anything discussing the audio capabilities.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
I have heard anything in particular with respect to audio quality either.....but if your looking for headphone quality I doubt it will get better than lg v20....if you looking for speakerphone quality then you may as well save some money and get the 6p with the dual front facing speakers and still get pure Google experience and updates.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Amd4life:
Either wait for the V20 ( slow updates, hard to root, no development...I have a v10)

Or get the Pixel and a outboard DAC/like a Opportunity HA2.

The 6P with the dual front speakers is obviously the better option for video without headphones.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
The best all around solution is 6p and use viper4android to get the quality audio experience you seek plus ffs plus current Android updates
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
Well, I was looking for a device that had a decent DAC built in. I'm not sure what the Snapdragon 821 brings to the table. I do not subscribe to using software/DSP/EQ to make the audio sound good. I use nice headphones to listen to my music so I don't want to muck it up with software that "fakes" the sound. I don't want to add external devices (such as my Cambridge DacMagic XS or Oppo HA-2) as I'm trying to trim down to a single device.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
The best sound by far will be the Htc with viper4android as it rocks I doubt you will find any smartphone that has as good of audio as the Htc 10 with viper4android.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
I was thinking about the HTC 10, but Viper4Android is something I wouldn't use. It seems to just be an EQ. I don't use EQ nor do I have any interest whatsoever in doing so. It doesn't increase the quality of the audio coming out of the device.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] djstone86:
I'm in the same boat as you. I used a HTC m8 and purchased a Nexus 6p for pure android. The Nexus DAC was terrible so I traveled with both phones. Last month i sold my 6p in anticipation of the event because of HTCs history with audio. I'm regretting that now: I'm sure if the Pixel had a dedicated DAC Google would have played it up during the event.

I'm currently researching a phone to replace my m8: It seems like best are the LG G5, v10 upcoming v20, Axon 7, and of course HTC10. The HTC10 will probably be my next phone: it sucks because it seems like you always have to compromise something.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
Agreed! To be honest, I find the Xperia Z3v merely acceptable. It is a little better sounding than my Galaxy Note 3 was. I'm not even looking for something "powerful" as I have 25-32ohm headphones. Though they are quite resolving and I enjoy using them around the house and when I go out in general. If in the end, the Pixel doesn't have good sound (ie... needs to be at least 24/192), and the V20 isn't going to work for me. I'll just keep using my external DACs.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Nexus6p ;) or V20 would work for now...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] droidguy22:
This is the same reason I am still using Nexus 6 as my daily driver, i tried many phones (Note 4, N6P, Note 5, S7 Edge, Note 7 SD820 version etc..) in the last 2 years and no phone has better audio quality thru audio jack than N6. HTC 10 has some what better audio quality but I don't want to downgrade screen size below 5.5".

It infuriates me whenever people suggest Viper/Arise etc.. to make up for the poor DAC in the phone.

Hoping pixel phone has decent DAC.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I'm going to get the V20 due to the audio quality of the Note 7 (and I'm guessing it's not great on the Pixel either). Quad DAC is going to be amazing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] InsertDumbNick:
If people stopped having such solid opinions on things, they'd be pleasantly surprised by what they find. At least, try using viper4android. You have no idea the difference it can make.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
What he said..... you should try V4A....you'll be pleasantly surprised.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tkoreaper:
Funny how people criticize a phone for not having front facing speakers, but the HTC 10 doesn't have them and it is one of the best sounding phones out there right now... and yes, I have a 6P as well. I encourage everyone to save their judgement for when we actually get to hear it or someone gives a review on it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
So True!

I'm very much leaning that way myself.

As for the others who continue to suggest V4A or other software EQ/DSP... enlighten me on how painting a smiley face on a turd of a DAC makes it sound better? It doesn't... it simply alters the sound. I have multiple headphones that I use for different genres of music. THAT is what I use to alter the sound that I'm looking for. EQ and DSP are only meant to cover up the shortcomings of the headphones native sound signature. How would I know if I'm making things worse by polishing a Turd of a DAC by warping the sound signature? If I wanted to make things more "bassy" or "echoey" or whatever you want. I'd just pick up a pair of Beats headphones and call it a day. I'm sure it is a fantastic piece of software, again... it is completely opposite of what I'm looking for. Though, thank you for letting me know that it is out there. The 5 YouTube videos I watched let me know that it wasn't something I'd be interested in beyond a novelty.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I've used it. It helps, but it's still lipstick on a pig. The amp and DAC make a much larger difference. I liked Viper4Android on other devices but there will be no comparison to a phone with a vastly superior DAC. The HTC One M8 was by far the best audio quality I'd ever heard before because of its DAC and amp combo. Did much better than my other phones paired with V4A.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
It's already known the pixel phones won't have a DAC and your interest level in pure sound quality is high and clearly outweighs the custom Roms or pure Android experience or early updates you get with Google phones...so I'm not sure what the hesitation is.... Get the phone with the DAC. Honestly the pixel phones are over priced and hardware specs are not comparable to the price.... I'll be keeping my 6p
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
You're right. I'll keep an eye on them, but the more I find out about it, I don't think it is the right device for me.

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
There is some potentially good news here, Guys. I just read the hands-on with Anandtech and while they didn't mention much about the audio quality, they did say that it has the Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec. So, yes, it's Qualcomm, but it's of much higher quality than the "normal" Qualcomm. The Aqstic is the same DAC/codec used in the HTC 10 which I find little fault with. I think the V10 is still a tad cleaner with a better noise floors, but these are extremely minor differences. For pure Google, fast updates and a nice design, I can easily settle for a Qualcomm Aqstic audio solution rather than an exotic "quad DAC" which still hasn't been released or heard by any audiophile reviewers I don't think. I'm all in for this phone.

-Collin-
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] katetimosoy:
I believe V20 would work.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] waytoocrazy:
The Galaxy Note 7 is running the same Codec. It is a Snapdragon codec. If that is true, maybe I'll just go with the Note 7 and use my lesser brand headphones with them, and save up for a dedicated DAP (or make a cable for my Cambridge DacMagic XS Dac).

Actually the Htc 10 has better audio than the 6p, it may not be as loud as the 6p on the phone speakers but the Htc 10 definitely has better audio and add viper4android and it rocks even more and on bluetooth also.

Many would disagree as Htc 10 has better audio, 6p phone speakers may be louder but Htc 10 audio quality is far superior to the 6p, look up the comparisons on line and see.
