Update: Version Alpha 1.2 is now up on Google Play Store as well as in the attachments!

[IMG="Volume Scroll Icon"]https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/mX4zCOFVD.png[/IMG]

Hello XDA community!

This is my newest (and smallest) App, at 75.4 KB, Volume Scroll lets you scroll through pages on almost any App using your Volume Rocker. And yes, you read the title of the thread right, it requires NO root permission.

Once activated, scroll a tiny bit of the content you want to be scrolled using Volume Rocker. Pressing either of the volume keys will make a paginated scrolling (jumps to new content, flips a page - however you may like to understand.)

This will feel very natural and immersive, especially when you want to consume a really long article on Google Chrome or an endless feed of Facebook, Instagram and many more applications.

What happens to adjusting volume? Well, a long press on either of the Volume keys will activate the default behavior (bringing volume control panel on screen.) Neat?

In addition to scrolling through Volume Rocker, there is an optional onscreen buttons as well. The onscreen buttons will appear when there is a scrollable content available on screen, and if no action is taken on the button, they fade within 2 seconds - and appear back, if you manually scroll some content.

So far, the App works on all popular chatting Apps, Social Media Apps, GMail, Google Chrome, etc. However, don't be surprised if it doesn't work on your pdfs or some 3rd party browsers - that will be due to technical limitation.

Below is a demo of the onscreen buttons, if somebody can make a short demo video of the Volume Rockers in action, it would be great! Also note that, the below demo features auto scrolling which is NOT included in this initial alpha version.

[YOUTUBE]TX-KyE2ASfY[/YOUTUBE]​

The Alpha_1 version is available at the attachments, Play Store and XDA Labs. This version of the App is Ad-free, there will be a lot of more features in future depending on how the App is received, like:

✓ Auto Scrolling pages with onscreen buttons as well as Volume Rocker

✓ Configure time gap for auto scrolling.

✓ Ability to move around onscreen buttons

✓ Configure how you want Volume Rocker to behave - Single press, long press, double press.

✓ Blacklist/Whitelist Apps on which the App should function.

Mention which feature you look forward to, in your review of the App. :)

Download now from Google Play Store!

The main purpose of this early release to the community members here is to get some feedback. So, if you try the App, please do let me know your experience, suggestions. Cheers! :)

Note: The App uses Accessibility permissions - that are an absolute requirement for the magical linking between your Volume Rocker and scrolling. If you don't feel comfortable with the permissions please do not use the App. That being said, I have a couple of other Apps developed which are downloaded and trusted by couple of 100,000+ users (point in case - Energy Bar), none of the Apps have any hidden motive.

What's new?

Version Alpha_1.2:

HOTFIX for screen turning off - when you use only volume keys for scrolling, the device was assumed to be idle - it's now fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] FreshlyBaked 420:
Is there any way to move the on screen control to the right of the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikanore:
It's a very cool idea but I really think that paginated scrolling isn't the best implementation, it would be better if I could choose to set single press to activate volume controls, but a long press would scroll a page smoothly similar to a mouse wheel. This would've been awesome, unless there is an unavoidable limitation to doing that.

Also if you could add a blacklist, for those apps you don't want this feature to work in.
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Not at the moment, but in future version, for sure!

Hi! A smooth scroll isn't possible due to technical limitation. Volume Rocker behavior configuration, whitelist/blacklist options will be available soon. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
Alpha_1.2 is now up on Google Play Store as well as at the attachments to the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Its not working in Opera Mini browser. I don't think it can be made to work in it? And yes a blacklist or per-app setting will be much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
I often have to swipe the screen up and down quite often to get the app to respond. Maybe activating the volume button scrolling option by holding down the buttons could be a better solution? Then we also don't have to always long click the buttons to change the volume or to use the Gboard key cursor control.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfffffdsa:
Damn, I was really hoping that this would work but I've been unable to get the volume scroll or on-screen scroll to work on a Yotaphone 2 (android 5.0). The device has an epaper screen and smooth scroll is just not suited to this type of screen.
[Android Apps and Games] dasacom:
Hi there, do you continue your work with this app? I have a oneplus 3 with oreo. Can not get your app to work. But I am looking for this feature. Your description sounds very good. Please continue developing :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonDave:
Installing any version of the two breaks the speaker in call for me. The other end can hear me, but I can't hear them. I can't find a fix for the life of me. Any help is appreciated!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konradit:
Me too, I am on PureNexus 7.1.1 (2017 01/13) and tried flashing Franco Kernel and ElementalX, also tried dirty flashing the ROM... Nothing works, my kernel is also permissive.

Hey guys, I am new to kernel building.

I have encountered the following error.

"In file included from arch/arm64/kernel/signal.c:36:0:

/media/dragacy/Android/kernel/arch/arm64/include/asm/vdso.h:30:36: fatal error: generated/vdso-offsets.h: No such file or directory

#include <generated/vdso-offsets.h>"

when building the kernel.

I am using the sonyAOSP kernel source. The patch i have applied so far is just the safety net patch.
[Moto X General] mr_verystock:
All puns aside.... https://dirtycow.ninja/

There's a way to invoke the calls that are found here, right? http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html

If we figure that out, won't the AT&T and Verizon Moto X folks get an unlock? (Unless the unlockable fuse is already blown... :crying:)
[Moto X General] littlebigtoe:
Isn't this what Sunshine is based on? If I recall correctly, this vulnerability was patched out of later versions of the moto X firmware.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dhatw:
First of all, I am from Canada on the Rogers network. I originally bought the Chinese version from Kijiji and had it for about three weeks or so. Awesome phone. I had the usual issues with notifications working then not working but otherwise it was great. Now the L29 has full Google integration to the point where core apps cannot be removed. It even has Android Pay (although it does not work in Canada yet) where the L00 had HiWallet or something like that. But the main thing, knock on wood, is since Friday notifications have worked flawlessly. I noticed that the L29 only has 6 levels of zoom in the camera with B138 (I had 10 levels with B156 on the L00). It also displays 4GLTE on the L29 as apposed to just 4G on the L00 though I know I was getting LTE speeds. So far I am I am enjoying my decision to change to the L29. One small thing I noticed is I swear there was an arrow to hide the navigation keys when in an app on the L00 but it is not there on the L29. A small thing but I liked it. I am sure there are other things that I have missed but that is all that I can think of for now.

Dhatw.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
You are correct about the zoom and the hide navigation button. It appears on other firmwares/models.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] phillipinman:
I had the Chinese version and i also have the New Uk version MHA-L09 running b26 and they both had the navigation
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
B126 you mean? The UK build is mha-l09c432b126?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] phillipinman:
Sorry yes B126 typo lol
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dhatw:
Just a quick update, it has been six full days now and I am still getting all my notifications in a timely manner. No issues what so ever in that department. Hopefully, this marks the end of the "notification bug" for all.

Cheers, Dhatw.

L00 to L29

What guide did you use to change from L00 to L29? is it worth it to change or should I just leave it on the Chinese firmware?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
I used FunkyHuawei to change from a chinese 6/128 (google play installed from the dealer) and changed it to mha-l29c432b138
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] emaileverything:
I also have the chinese 6/128 version which I bought in HK from my last business trip, I am in US now and trying to change to L29. But I am seeing 2 problems, 1st there is no OEM unlock option in the developer's menu on the phone, 2nd the link to Huawei's unlock website keeps taking me back to the Huawei login window.

Has anyone else faced these 2 problems? How have you resolved this? Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
Contact [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] and ask him if he can help you with rebranding to L29c432b138 and once that is completed, go here to unlock your device, https://www.dc-unlocker.com/. it will cost you a few bucks but totally worth it as you get the unlock code right away. Use the FAQ / tutorial pages to learn how to get the unlock code.

I used FunkyHuawei when it was still in service to change to L29c432b138 and then paid for unlock code at the link i provided. I got the unlock code within a min or less. it took more time reading the tutorial and running their software.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rbt001:
Hi, I also had the same 2 issues.

1) No OEM unlock option: I managed to unlock anyway so I suggest just give it a try

2) Keep going back to Huawei login: I just kept trying. Think I tried with different browsers as well. Eventually I got through

NOTE: If you want to flash TWRP ensure you have deactivated "Find my phone". Gave me headaches (thank you duraaraa)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] emaileverything:
Chrome doesn't work

I just figured out the solution for the "always going back to login" problem, it seems the Google Chrome browser doesn't work. I have tried with IE and it worked the first try itself.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cprcrack:
One question, when you perform a rebranding from L00 to L29 following FunkyHuawei method at funkyhuawei.club/rebranding, does the phone behave like an original L29 version? Meaning you will have all Google services and OTA updates as any other original L29 phone? Or is there any difference at all?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Yes you will have all the services like original L29.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sal_Al:
on thew L29, do your social apps like whatsapp/telegram show notifications even if apps are closed?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Hello guys,

Let me start by giving you a little bit of context. I've used iPhones since the first one in 2007. In 2014 (after owning all iPhones), I switched to a Nexus 5 for a few months, then a OnePlus One, then the Droid Turbo until the iPhone 7 was announced last September (yes, back to iPhone after 2 years of Android). That was mainly because I was tired of a so-so OS experience, subpar camera, and outdated device.

I've been enjoying my iPhone 7 so far, but I feel like something's wrong. I am majoring in Computer Engineering and I absolutely love fooling around w/ my devices. I feel like that's gone with iOS - I can't even customize the homescreen.

With that said, I also enjoy a well built, reliable device (I use it a LOT). I would never go back to an unsupported device like the Droid Turbo. It was great at first, but it was quickly forgotten. Now, what's the case with the Pixel? I've been away from the Android community, but I read a few articles talking about multiple Pixel issues. Is this true, will I experience problems or they're just isolated cases?

I saw the phone at the store, but I feel like I need to test drive it to fully understand it. What are your thoughts?

Thank you in advance!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
No issues here! Best phone is ever owned, easily. Highlights:

-Incredible camera. So fast at locking and focusing. Amazingly fast to open the app, too.

-Smoothest UI ever. Seriously, I'm no longer jealous of iOS smoothness.

-Google Photos unlimited storage at full resolution of fantastic. I never even hesitated to shoot video in 4K now. Pictures galore, too.

-Speed (beyond the UI) is unreal. Everything feels faster than I'm used to.

-Support from Google (literally, and in updates).

-Tinker abilities (good community of developers).

-Screen is beautiful and build quality is impeccable.

-Google Assistant is fun.

I would not hesitate to buy this phone. My iPhone friends are jealous.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Thanks, I'm sold. lol.

What's the best way of getting this phone? Should I get it from the Google Store, or I'm better off with a reseller on Swappa/eBay? I can save more than $100 with the latter. Any reason why I shouldn't?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Haha. I went through Verizon so I'm not sure how the other options are. It's tough to find 128GB Pixels. Resale would he fine, depending on which type. The Google Play version is unlockable no matter what, while the Verizon version must be version 7.1 to unlock.

By the way, I got this phone after returning LG V20 because I needed a wicked fast camera and boy did I get one. So many awesome pictures of my little kids now! They run but I can still catch them in nice photos typically with much less blur and I don't miss moments anymore! :)

Oh and I forgot to sell you on battery life! It's PHENOMENAL for me. Best I've had gotten, again. Today, for example... One moment... I'm currently at 33% battery. BUT, my screen time is 4 hours and 20 minutes!! I've used YouTube, XDA, chrome, Tasker, Reddit, Facebook, Textra, Metal, Gmail, etc. on and off all day. I'm on pace for like 6.5 hours of screen time! My old phones seemed to cap around 4 for my usage.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Great! Last question, about 4K recording.. Does Google Photos backup the 4K file? I'm using Google Photos on my iPhone and videos get downgraded to 1080P.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pixel_junkie:
+1

I came from an iPhone 7, a 6s and a 6 before it. As long as Google makes phones like this in the future, I'll never go back to iOS. Great hardware for sure but damn the OS is dated!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
No compression! That's the big deal with this offer. It's a Pixel exclusive. Any other phone gets unlimited compressed photos.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
The Verizon model seems to be a lot cheaper. Is it worth paying more for the Google Unlocked edition?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
If you want to tinker you'd have to go with the google sold pixel so that you can unlock the bootloader.

The Verizon model is technically locked but there was an exploit to unlock it which was quickly patched with an update. Idk how soon you plan on getting it? If you walk into Verizon very soon and they have them in stock they should still be on 7.1 which you can unlock with dePixel8. If you wait ant longer they are going to be shipping with 7.1.1 and then won't be able to unlock it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mngdew:
I came from GS7edge and iPhone 6s Plus. The battery life is better than that of GS7edge even though GS7edge has much large capacity. Android 7.1.1 on Pixel is buttery smooth. I'd dare to say it's actually a bit smoother than iOS. By the way, you can jailbreak your iPhone 7 if you're still on iOS 10.1.1.

iOS is showing its age. All Apple does now is just adding more features which slows down the iOS.

iOS 9 to iOS 10 is not the same as Android 6 to Android 7.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Thanks guys,

And lets say I get a Verizon Pixel, can I use it on T-Mo? I know that they're unlocked, but do they have the same frequencies?

Also, do Verizon Pixels get the updates as fast as the Google Edition Pixel?

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fritzgerald:
I can't comment on the using on T-Mobile part but I got the update notice on my Google store phone on the 7th or 8th and my girlfriend got the notice on her Verizon store phone today. That was the same as last month too. So they're not far behind but it seems you get it slightly faster with the Google store phones.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pixel_junkie:
Pixel purchased directly through Google is identical to the one purchased from Verizon with the only difference that you can't root on Verizon (if you're on the latest OS, on 7.1 you can). So yes, it'll work.

Sounds like you're on Tmobile and if that's the case, why would you not take advantage of their Pixel promo which gives you $325 in credits. Win/win!

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Total novelty garbage that adds zero to functionality of the OS. Who uses all that stuff they added to their iMessage app? "Words become emojis as you type!" What?? Why?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Updates should be arriving the same day regardless of which one...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] zphantom55:
I'd watch out for buying a pixel through Verizon if you're going to switch / use it on T-Mobile. The deal on Verizon is that they charge you the same price as the Google store version but then take 15 dollars off of your bill each month. If you leave you end up paying the same thing and have no unlocking fun...

PS I absolutely love my pixel and if you can afford it I would highly recommend this phone to anyone :good:
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Hey guys, so I bought a Verizon Pixel because I got a good price on a brand new unit and the color I wanted.

According to the seller, the boot loader on this one can be unlocked. Now, I don't think I wanna play with roms right now, but should I unlock it before updating? How does this work? Can I re-lock it to resell it in the future?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Soccerdude588:
I feel your pain regarding your turbo. I had the Moto x 2nd gen from 2014 which never got VoLTE or updates after a few months or so.

I'd feel confident in Google provide updates to its newest phone for a decent while. Otherwise I've been happy with the features for the past couple months. Phone, battery life, pictures, etc...

Unlimited photo storage is nice...

My one qualm is with the phone a speakers. Their location causes me to unintentionally cover them when I hold the phone to watch something
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
You basically must unlock it before taking the 7.1.1 update or you'll never be able to unlock it again.

Sure, it can be relocked. You need to be careful though. Worry about that later! :)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
If I unlock it just to keep it unlocked, can I remain on stock and still get updates from Google?

Thank you in advance
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cshehan:
Have 3 Pixels on T-Mobile and it rocks

My family is using three Pixels on T-Mobile and we're very happy with them. Seems to work everywhere we need it to and the LTE speeds are excellent. Make sure you sign up for the Pixel promo as previously mentioned. I switched from AT&T and am saving a small fortune even with paying for the three Pixel phones.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Absolutely!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Excellent! I'm on my way to the FexEx store to pick it up. What's the software name? Anything important to keep in mind while unlocking it?

Thanks for everything!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Don't turn on Wi-Fi until you have the bootloader unlocked. Software should be Android 7.1 (not 7.1.1). If you see a alert that you should update to 7.1.1, DO NOT restart your phone or it will automatically install it. Going to developer options and unselecting "auto updates" may prevent that but I wouldn't bank on it.

It's a very easy unlock process. Type some commands in and you're golden!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fedecape:
Done, thanks so much everyone! :)

I'm gonna factory reset it, then update it to 7.1.1

I understand that my bootloader will remain unlocked and I don't need to worry about it anymore, right? If I ever want to flash a custom rom, I should be able to.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Dabrador:
Resurrecting an old thread in hopes of getting some feedback...

I have a Moto Droid Turbo that's getting up in years. Got it when launched almost 3 years ago. It's been a great device but I'm ready for something new.

The two things I've loved about the DT is the battery life and the quality of the radio in locking on to a cell signal. I rarely if ever have to charge the phone in the course of a day. In addition, I live in a fringe cell coverage area. I can get 4G but only a couple bars at best on the Turbo. Despite that, it locks on to the signal and rarely if ever drops.

How does the Pixel compare in these two areas? I've heard conflicting stories about battery life and would like to hear from actual owners and their real world experience, especially in fringe cell areas which can wreak havoc on a battery. Also how does the radio in the Pixel perform across various cell signal levels?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] :
Compared to the Turbo I think you will be about the same signal wise. I get terrible reception in my house and my battery on the pixel last me about three days. I stay home most days so it's weak most of the time. I actually lose signal in parts of my house on any phone I owned. My WiFi is on 24 hours a day too. The Pixel is a nice phone but make sure you get one than can be rooted for best results as mine is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] denniequiambao:
Rooted >> Failed Xposed installation >> Stock Firmware >> Cannot Root Again

Greetings!

I have a Samsung S7 Edge from a local carrier and I immediately rooted it successfully using Odin+CF Auto-Root. But lo and behold, after a couple of weeks I wanted to try our Xposed so I searched got some files and tried doing it. I was "able" to flash the install file using TWRP and then my nightmare started.

Bootloop after bootloop and I kept on seeing the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error on top. I was helpless.

Good thing i chanced upon a blog from Sammobile and it had stock firmware from my carrier. Downloaded it and flashed through Odin. BUT i only flashed the AP file and not the other files (CSC_HOME, BL, etc.) that came with the whole zipfile from sammobile and it got my phone working again.

I tried rooting again using CF Auto-Root through Odin 3.12.3, like what I initially did before but after rooting the dreaded error of "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" appeared again and bootloop phases soon followed. I tried several times (after flashing stock rom and trying root) but the same result.

Right now my phone is okay but unrooted.

Any suggestion on what I can do now to root? :(

Was it wrong for me to just flash the AP file instead of the whole 5 files when I went back to stock firmware?

I have Odin 3.12.3 and CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.tar to root my Samsung S7 Edge (G-935F)

Thanks in advance mates! Cheers!
