[Xperia Z5 Premium General] d3stroyah:
if im not mistaken you posted this and showed that 1080p or 4k things got smaller but readability was exactly the same (reading the smallest line). Am i wrong? In that case, that's not true 4k

other than that i couldn't find in this whole forum a true list of true 4k applications. It's like looking for gold!!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dimex:
Don't know what you're referring to. If you look at the resolution, it is 4k. When you watch a movie in VR, your virtual void screen is not going to be 4k, it's going to be far less. When my phone is in 4k, the virtual screen resolution is a couple hundred pixels bigger than when at 2k or 1080p.

If it renders in 4k, it's not really going to matter because you're not getting anywhere close to that in void cinema anyways? You're getting about VGA worth of a virtual screen. I think the most important factor with 4k for VR is less screen door effect, not the resolution? Then again, I just started messing with this so I'm not too knowledgeable.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] d3stroyah:
i don't think it works like that..

in virtual cinema now you just have a 1080p resolution upscaled to 4k. SDE has nothing to do with the output resolution and it's going to be the same even outputting at 480p the whole screen.

Even so, putting true 4k in virtual cinema will mean having twice the detail there is now since every pixel will have a "true" color instead of a fake one (with upscaling). That will result in a greater resolution overall.

The only way to really test this out, is with their true 4k output cinema version. Now we're 95% just fooled with upscaling (and as they said 4k will have very low fps)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dimex:
If I'm not running AAA VR Cinema in 4K, then can you explain why my virtual cinema has a greater resolution then when running the phone at 2k or 1080p? Are you really going to notice that much more detail if you cram a 4k video into a VGA space or a 1080p one into that same space?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] d3stroyah:
i guess the only way to find out would be 3 screenshots, one at each resolution from a 1080p source clip. 4k is twice as sharp as 1080p, for the same portion of screen. That means that something barely readable 1080p will be twice as sharp in 4k. The void size must be the same and 4k would actually display 2x times a 1080p image, not just 200px more
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] d3stroyah:
look, you posted these:

https://postimg.cc/image/nrqysn3y3/

https://postimg.cc/image/z5di3uegr/

the second is slightly higher resolution but the output is the same, resizing back the 4k to 1440p you have the same exact image...that's 100% upscaled, no true 4k happening at all, you would see a big difference going up (1440p is nowhere close 4k, it's jus 125% more than 1080p where 4k is 200% 1080p)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dimex:
Dude, the function of that app is only to tell you the resolution of the virtual screen. What's within it is for reference purposes. It's not going to change.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hobhob:
Ok, so I am quite new to these cheap Android TV boxes, so far its doing really well. I have changed the home screen to TVLauncher and removed all the bloatware apps which came with the device.

However I am wondering if there is a better Android build I could install, one which knows I am not able to use touch at all and I am just using a remote (although one with a touchpad and keyboard on it). Most things work fine, however anything which requires touch (for scrolling etc) is a pain to use.

The box I have is; Coolead CQ9

I am unable to post the Amazon link due to being new, but a simple search should return the product

Specifications:

OS: Android 5.1

CPU :Amlogic S905 Quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 up to 2GHz

GPU: Penta-Core Mali-450@600MHz+

FLASH: 8GB NAND FLASH

SDRAM: 1GB DDR3

Does anyone have any suggestions to modding the boxes version of Android to make it all work a little nicer, or if possible an alternative version of Android which will work on this box? I believe the parts inside the box are basically the same as the thousands of other boxes going by different names which seem to be identical.. So I guess this means the hardware itself is rather generic.

If the answer is a simple no, I am tempted to build my own to see if I had more freedom with it? Ideally I would want to build a box capable of running Android rather than Linux, so I have more options of Apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altum:
Hey guys,

Sorry to be one of those d**ks who registers and first post is asking for help >_<

Take a seat and join me on this epic quest of failure, which has been my life for the last 12 hours.

Had this phone since release, over the years it has got more and more bogged-down with crap, even from the word go it had tonnes of bloatware installed, but I always avoided the temptation to root, just because I didn't want the hassle if something went wrong... lol.

Yesterday decided to finally take the plunge and root it, whatstheworstthatcouldhappen.jpeg

Here's how it went down....

1. Kingoroot via PC (first tried the apk but it wouldn't work).

2. Hated all the additional stuff that had been added to the phone (new wakeup screen with ads etc)

3. Used a guide to remove and replace kingoroot (kinguser, kingroot, kingmaster) with superuser. zidroid dot com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/ <<Here's the guide

4. Stuck on "Installing, please wait" (just after step 8 in the guide)... as the guide explains, if this happens then reboot. So I did...

5. Phone now won't get past the samsung logo (I die a little inside).

6. Google crap for a few hours (Boot into recovery mode etc) I clear cache, remove data.

7. Try loading a stock rom I downloaded and opening it from the sd card... no joy

8. Try Kies... no joy

9. Try Odin... no joy

10. During all of this frantic messing around I loose the option of booting into recovery mode, now I can only get to download mode.

11. Basically spent about 6 hours last night and a few hours this morning trying to get this fixed from all info I could find online... STILL NO JOY.

So now I'm biting the bullet and having to own up to the public, that's you guys.

Anyone here got a clue as to what may have gone wrong/what I can do to resolve this?

Not even fussed about keeping the phone stock, just need it running something!

As I'm sure you can tell I'm new to messing around with android, but I'm not entirely tech-naive so hopefully with some help I might be able to get this back to more than just a paperweight?

Cheers!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dazprospect:
Recently upgraded to WM6 off the t-mobile page that someone posted on here. Everything was fine ofr a week or so, then things started going wrong on me today.

if i go to the start menu and then programs, it opens fine, but as soon as i press on something (i.e. media player) it changes and says "Windows Media" in the top left hand corner but all i can see is the program list still, almost as if its an image over the program.

I tried Hard resetting but cant seem to get it to work ( the two buttons way wont work and the second way i cant see the clear storage program just like media player)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scrambler001:
For the hard reset try hitting the windows + OK (the middle two buttons to the right & left of the dpad) then while holding those two in with the stylus tap the reset switch on the bottom of the phone. Not sure if this was the sequence you used because you did not say.

or

Re Flash the phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dazprospect:
The first hard reset i tried was with the camera and voice call buttons as it says on some websites and that didnt work, just tried that way you suggested and it just reset normally.

I was planning on re-flashing but, when i connect to usb the ornage light comes on to charge but the pc doesnt detect it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
What device do you have? Refer to your manual for hard reset. If not, use the clear storage in settings>system menu.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scrambler001:
USB not Connecting

Go into the Settings/Connection Settings and on the USB connection disable the advanced by un-ticking it's check box and you should connect normally. In WM6 it's enabled by default but does not work correctly most of the time.

Just curious, everyone running Android 7.0. Do you use battery helping apps like Greenify or Naptime ? Do those truly help extend battery life like they say, by a substantial margin ?

Thx.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
I removed Greenify Donation running Xposed mode a few months back running PureNexus MM, and have noticed a minimal change in battery life.

I'm talking less than 5% difference.

The benefits of it now that Doze is a thing, isn't as great as it was back when Doze wasn't on our devices. Since Doze got a boost in N, I'd say it's not worth it anymore.

Smarten up with your apps like using Swipe or Metal for Facebook, etc. and you'll notice a world of difference.

Hello everybody!

I want to know if there are any negative consequences (such as bootloops, app crashes, instability etc.) after I flash OpenGApps Aroma on my Stock Rom for XT1643?

Should I do it? Why or why not?

Seems like a silly question to ask. Just wanted to know what happens.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Silesh.Nair:
The pertinent question is why you need to flash it when the stock ROM comes with gapps included.

As to what will happen if you do it, you may end up with bootloops. Only way to find out is to try it.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] android404:
You could end up with a brick for all I know. And there's zero reason to try. You got gapps, flashing them again makes no sense whatsoever.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] jyoti.id:
I tried it last night & nothing happened, no bootlops. OpenGapps is made like it can with on any rom. When i was flashing it just showed a message that im flashing OGapps in Stock rom. After Reboot, only a app force closed named with something like Google market.... But still it's an advice not to flash ogapps/other gapps in Stock rom :laugh:
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
That's useless. After flashing those OpenGapps, they will be updated by PlayStore anyway...

Those are used for the CM builds just to avoid any licensing issues.

Do any film type screen protectors feel like glass yet? Ive had plastic ones that were ok, but I have yet to feel a film/wet apply protector that actually feels like glass.

I was browsing amazon, as I have been doing everyday since ordering a pixel and noticed a new tempered glass product.. https://is.gd/x8fgZC here.. and looking through the pictures, they show how much of the face the protector covers, https://is.gd/k2kOrR, which looks a bit odd, but https://is.gd/LNie2M explains that its cut to cover the 'flat portion' of the screen.. so its looking like the front glass of the Pixel is pretty curved near the edges.

Ill be putting some sort of case on my phone that will minimize the gap between the edge of the protector and the phone, but was wondering if there are any full coverage, film type, protectors out there that really feel like glass.
