[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
The guy who was testing for me actually had an Honor 7, but said he tried replacing my animation with the Huawei folder one and ended up in a bootloop. His folders were a little different though. I think his was in the "etc" folder, but it kind of had me wondering if those folders maybe need to be there. Maybe I just need to replace the one in special_ cust. If I made you one that just replaces the L04 one could you maybe test it for me?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Saythis:
I replaced my bootanimation.zip in special_cust with a Pixel Bootanimation and it worked fine.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Still need someone to test it before I upload it for everyone. I already made the file. I can PM you the link if you don't mind doing it. I just want to make sure that it works and that the animation runs smoothly.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] faizalotai:
I can test it for you,Just pm'ed me
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
UPDATE: I had a tester who helped me try every conceivable way to replace the boot animation on this device, but as close as we could get was a blank black screen before it boots into android. Sorry. I don't know what else to do. The animation I made for you guys is really pretty cool too. :(

Hi [MENTION=3809642]bogarty[/MENTION]!

Thank you very much for your work you're doing for our phone. I found a thread on xda that may help you!

Regards,

AnDrOiiiD_YT
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Yeah. There is one in /system/media/, but changing that one does nothing. You have to change the hidden one that's in a folder like this:

"/version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media"

or some people have one like this apparently instead:

"/cust/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media"

Doing that at least does something on occasion, but still doesn't show the animation.

Thank you! I'll check it out. :)
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zimmen:
I dont have a folder named /versions/
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Yeah. I think every Honor 8 is different per region. You should have a /cust/ folder though right? I got the /version/ from [MENTION=4468902]Saythis[/MENTION], but my tester didn't have that one either.

I think there's something wrong with the animation/file/desc..

I even tried booting without bootanimation.zip file thats in system/media..and honor 8 still shows bootanimation..but its just written android with light waving from lefr to right.maybe from kernel image.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zimmen:
Yes the /cust/ folder i have
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Does anyone actually have a "bootanimation.zip" in "/cust/preinstalled/public/media/"(or anywhere else in a "preinstalled" folder or similar), as specified by this thread here?

Do you actually have a "bootanimation.zip" in "/cust/preinstalled/public/media/" or anywhere similar to what that thread suggests?

[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Thank you for your response. I wasn't aware there was one in /system/bin/ too, so we haven't tried that. Only several other places, like /system/media/, cust/special cust/frdl04(or whichever model)/hw/usa/media, cust/hw/usa/media(I think) and a couple of others for some reason. Most devices only have it in /system/media/, which makes replacing it quite easy. I'll see if I can get my tester to test that location.

[MENTION=5412433]faizalotai[/MENTION] I just sent you a test file for that. Thanks! :)
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] faizalotai:
Mine doesn't have any boot animation file in bin folder and yeah, i just test the bootanimation file and does nothing.

The boot animation.zip file was there after flashed but its still boot with animation within system/media..
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Yeah, if you didn't have a boot animation in that folder to begin with, then flashing one in there will have no effect. I think unless we can figure out where to put it though and/or what's preventing it from showing more than just a black screen, then there may really be very little hope here.

I wonder if the animation has to be digitally signed by Huawei or something. If so then maybe going the /preinstalled/ route would be the best one because, even though the animation's not there originally, the preinstalled folder is programmed to overwrite the actual system files(properly) with whatever's in there. I wonder if you added a /media/ folder(with rwx r-x r-x permissions like the other folders) into the /cust/preinstalled/public/ folder, then added a bootanimation.zip(with the correct permissions) if it would work. If not, it might even just be a matter of figuring out exactly what folder configuration to add to /preinstalled/ so that it drops it where it needs to be.

Man, I wish I had the device. I feel like I would have this working by now if for no other reason than I'm pretty relentless. :P
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bisclavret:

How do I build a YouTube app for Windows 10 Mobile

I want learn how to build YouTube app

Help plz:D
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] hene193:
Well you need to tell more info than just asking for help. What is the thing you need help with? What YouTube app you are talking about? AFAIK you need a source code for the app if you want to build it with Visual Studio so do you have it?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] 李晓萌:
You need get YouTube API , using Visual Studio dev app.

https://visualstudio.com
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] I_am_Egyptian_and_proud:
How is this?, And then what ?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] Sterkriger:
You have any programming skills at all?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] PrinceKicksters:
I have an idea for it. Somebody just need to wrap the m.youtube.com web mobile app to be more like a native app, since it's already almost feature complete, and its Material design already, so you guys won't bother much on design. And just maybe add some little native things there like Native Windows Video Player API and controls, maybe casting too, some CSS modifications on the web app's features and looks too, like making the tabs hide when you're scrolling down, and will show up when you scroll up again (just like the YouTube app) (which is not present on current mobile web app) or some custom animations too, ability to scroll through tabs with swipe (currently not possible on mobile web app's CSS rn), maybe a more native rewrap of dialogs on the mobile web app, native to Windows, I don't care if it's Material design on this aspect as since Windows design APIs is still incomplete btw, as long as it's responsive and interactable than the CSS ones, and also maybe native PiP on the app, ability to collapse the player/video page if you swipe down on it or tap collapse button, the whole video page will collapse and fade and the native player will be small at the side, also ability to dismiss it to end the remove or stop the video too.

The good thing with this is you wont need an access to YouTube API (I think) (which is also very restrictive and limited) since you're just wrapping some parts of the web app instead of remaking it.

This is all theoretical btw, since I know few of programming and developing bc I'm more of a UX designer myself. I hope this is possible. And hope someone brave see this idea and really do this. We'll back you with our support
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] marianodelfino:
So what you want to do is create an appx with a webview inside with the uri m.youtube.com basicly, more complex app would be using Youtube API.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] EP1CNESSHD:
Please don't make a web wrapper :crying: . There are enough of those in the Store already and I'm pretty sure the YouTube APIs aren't that restricted, haven't you guys downloaded myTube already?

Instead, search for the YouTube Data API and figure out how to use HTTP requests to send/receive JSON to use data from Google into your app.

What steps do you guys take to optimize battery life without compromising any performance?

I'm on NMF26O, Franco R6, TWRP, root

Greenify

Wifi & Bluetooth off when not in use

Brightness low

Do you leave adaptive brightness, screen saver or ambient display on?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ghostENVY:
Install Greenify as a system App (System/Priv-App) and it will work as Root + Privilaged Mode ( make sure to change the permissions to -777)

Doze in my opinion isn't nearly as optimized to my liking so I go ahead and install Doze Settings Editor and change some of the parameters.

I have doze start as soon as I hit the power button and disable motion so nothing wakes it up. I have it wake up every 30 min and then go back to sleep.

Just waiting on Xposed so I can use other mods to further reduce drain. I remember at some point I would get a 1% battery drain on my old HTC M7.

Yep, same here. 5 hours is the average SoT it seems, that is with half an hour or more gaming. Franco kernel I have heard takes care of the unnecessary battery usage. I never used battery savings modules like Greenify and sorts, and no way I am gonna install them on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] digiphotos:
Hello,

I tried all available Nougat beta versions on my Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F).

When I transfer data from my NAS to my external Micro SD card, the performance is extremely slow (less than 1 MB per second).

When I copy the same file with Android 6.01, the performance is much higher (about 8 MB per second).

Can you confirm that? When I experienced this issue in the first beta, I was sure that Samsung will fix that soon. But when I tried the latest beta yesterday, I was worried that Samsung does not know about this issue and will not fix this in the final release.

Kind regards

What do you use to transfer ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] digiphotos:
Xplore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] digiphotos:
Update: Tried the latest Nougat version (final) and have the same issue.

To be more precise: The Wlan AC performance is not bad in general. The problem is the data transfer from my NAS to the phone. I tested the transfer of a 4GB file. Here are my results:

- Data transfer with latest Nougat release: about 1 MB per second (using Xplore and Root Explorer). In Root Explorer I noticed that the transfer seems to be fast for about 2 seconds and then freezes for 2 seconds before it continues. Maybe an issue with caching? I tried a tweak in build.prop but it did not help.

- Data transfer with Marshmallow: about 14 MB per second (using Xplore and Root Explorer)

Can you check the data transfer from your NAS to the phone and confirm the speeds?

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

In another thread, the problem has been confirmed. Obviously, the S7 has performance problems when connected to Linux NAS (my Buffalo NAS Linkstation has XFS filesystem).

I have reported the issue to Samsung and hope that they will fix it. It would be nice if other users who have a NAS with XFS filesystem could check and confirm this issue and report it to Samsung.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danishaznita:
Hello , here i am again with questionable things that i did

BUT DONT TRY THIS AND BLAME ME LOL , Im just sharing what i did :) Unless you absolutely had nothing to loose and bored jusf like me

Years ago i aqquired A Z5 and upon diasembling it (to replace the screen ) i saw that they doubled the Heatpipe , it does really help with the heat . so that got me thinking , can i swap this pipe somehow into our little Z ? Just for the fun of it to see if it work or not

I began with making a rough sketch of how the pipe going to be fit

(At this point i didint realize that the cpu location is the same , so the pipe doesnt need to be inverted )

So i bought a broken Z3 and diasemble it , but . to my sadness , the pipe is actually soldered directly to the aluminium panel below

(Sorry for out of focus )

View attachment 3991624

My original plan was to seperate the pipe from the frame and manipulate it at my own will (the copper pipe is extremely soft . u can bend it with your nails )

But since it is soldered directly to the aluminium , time to use some brute force :)

View attachment 3991628

(The aluminium plate was easy to seperate from Z3 metal case since it is only held by glue and clasp )

Since there is actually aluminium under the pipe , i cant bend it sideward to make it smaller in footprint , so i had to change plan and start gutting my Z inner frame ,

And make alots of cut

(Picture to be uploaded )

After that i just put the pipe into possition and tape it there

At this point i faced a second problem , the thickness of that pipe , will basicly adds another 1mm to everything. Which became a huge problem . motherboard mounting . as you all know , or may not know , XP Z motherboard is held by 3 sets of screw , 2 on the usb side and one at micro sd Side , while it screws normally in the USB side , it started to flex almost heavily when i screw in the last screw on the microsd side (as the pipe now sits in the middle of the motherboard, so screwing both side is like pulling it down with force) to compensate that flex , i added some sponge (or whatever that is ) to give bit of leverage so it doesnt flex and bend as much , I also bend the wifi antenna pins outward to make it longer so it still touches the other pin (because of that added height ) ,

Here is the result

With that out of the way . now comes the final problem , that pipe runs diagonally , which will add thickness to the battery too , how im i suppose to fit in the back cover ?

I ran out to the nearest shop to buy one of these

The tape has a thickness of ~2 mm i believe , in order to clear the battery , i had to stack around 3 of those ontop of another , and then im able to stick the back cover without any problem

In the end , DOES IT WORK ? , I dont know , i havent test it yet , also i did this on pure boredom , if it works it works lol

BREAKING NEWS:

Huami took down the files from my hoster because of "alleged copyright infringement". I got a notice and an information that the files have been deleted, as well as that any further copyright infringement will lead to termination of the account and possible legal activities.

UPDATE 23-06-2017:

I updated the files to version 1.3.3a and reuploaded them to a different fileshare. (Let's see if they will be taken down again...)

UPDATE:

This is a new conversion method based on the techniques I used in my PACEfied installer. It will install the official Huami English firmware 1.3.3a with all features and OTA enabled. It will, however, NOT lock your bootloader. So, you have some time to evaluate, if you like the official ROM, or prefer to go to the PACEfied ROM.

NOTE: AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE AND INSTALL AN OFFICIAL OTA AFTERWARDS, YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL BE LOCKED AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SWITCH BACK.

ATTENTION: THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS FOR WATCHES WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (Huami started locking in official firmware 1.2.13 / 1.3.2b and upwards).

INSTALLATION:

This method uses the same installation procedure as PACEfied. Please find all information here: https://gitlab.com/Neuer_User/PACEfied_AmazFit/wikis/permanent-install

Downloads:

OFFICIAL ENGLISH FIRMWARE 1.3.3a: https://app.box.com/s/3io4m4zk7775x3vp80yw19l52slk6sxs

NOTE:

It is recommended that you factory reset the watch after installation, as data from other ROMs may lead to force closes of apps. You can do this either by unpairing the watch or in the settings / device menu of the watch.

DISCLAIMER:

While this method is pretty safe, there is a chance that you may brick your watch (so far no case known). YOU DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for any damages, psychological problems or wars emerging out of you converting your watch.

With the help of Neuer I was to flash my smartwatch with US Image!

I had some problems regarding android drivers while running fastboot and adb steps, this is how I solved them:

if fastboot is not detecting your device just download/install Google USB Driver at:

https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html

Follow this guide on how to install the driver:

http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/3/

After booting into the modded recovery, adb was not detecting my smartwatch. All that i had to do was to go to "Step 35" of the previous guide and install the "Android Composite ADB Interface" driver and everything started to work again with ADB.
