[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Suvam Mukherjee:
Can any devoloper make a vulkan API zip which can be flash on our device Redmi 2 prime I have seenRoms gives option in Int.d to render GPU by enabling it open GL es get updated to 3.1 which actually is 3.0 supported on our device App like GL tools also help that but Nothing I found on something which can help to install vulkan API so please if anyone can do this for us it will be amazing
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] iamsubhranil:
All right let's get some things straight.

API is the abbreviation for "Application Programming Interface", which holds abstraction of using a library. If you're familiar with programming languages, you can think of an API as the header files of C, or the interface of Java. They hide the internal details of how a specific task is performed. Rather, they focus on the programmer use of it.

I don't expect you to by the above paragraph, but you need to understand how close is an API bound to the specific architechture, underlaying software and all that low level things.

Now come to flashing a zip. What the TWRP or other recoveries do is nothing but execute a script in the zip, and place some precompiled bits into some specific folder, or even do some modifications at the block level, but one can never provide an API via recovery flash, because there's way too much going in there besides some bit changing. If we ever have to have Vulkan API support, or any API in that matter, it can never be "flashed and added". It has to be precompiled with the ROM itself, and it can surely be done.

TL;DR

You cannot "install" an API just by flash, your ROM have to be shifted with that already.

I don't think Vulkan would be of any use on our Snapdragon 410 since it is better optimized on SD 8xx . Stick to OpenGL for now

[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Suvam Mukherjee:
I have seen Roms like HTC remix for Redmi 2 which gives option to update open GL es 3.0 to 3.1 by simply on int.d so I just I want to request devolopers for work on vulkan based ROM for Redmi 2 I have seen flashablle vulkan zip for Redmi note 3 ported from mi max

And again I am not a developer don't have any knowledge of programming only thing I can do is to count on u guys I have interest in it and one day my dream is to become a programmer
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] LuanHalaiko:
First thing you need to know:

-Redmi note 3 has a vulkan supported CPU and GPU

-And Redmi 2 dosn't

---------- Post added at 18:51 ---------- Previous post was at 18:23 ----------

Also, how did you enable 3.1 opengl support? if it is a init.d thing, can you upload the file here?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Suvam Mukherjee:
Actually I can't I move to MIUI ROM but when I was in that ROM in customization settings there are few options to tweak performance by int.d so there u found an option called GPU renders optimization after enabling it I can have open GL es 3.1 and there are another way is that if u ever used GL tools u can have open GL es 3.1 over on 3.0
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] nicknitewolf:

Sir I don't know anything about programming or coding only a thing I can do is to count for u if in future if it may possible to run vulkan API over on adreno 305 pls make a ROM on that for our device Redmi 2 that's what I am saying don't ask me to put vulkan blobs I can't do this

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cbassohai:
Ello Ello,

I imported a Chinese Mate 9 with L29 installed on it by the seller, I assume via FunkyHuawei.

I'm encountering the touchscreen lag glitch, as well as the lock screen notification problem, and would like to upgrade to the newly released L29 B156.

Since I already have L29 base firmware installed on this Chinese model, can I update using the instructions on gizrom?

Or will this brick my phone?

I depend on this phone as my lifeline so I can't afford to brick it, thus my asking right now.

Should I use FunkyHuawei instead?

Thanks

I am going to Cozumel, Mexico in a week and was wondering if I can use my T-Mobile cellphone plan there? I don't know if this helps but my AT&T Tilt in unlocked, obviously so I can use it on T-mobile. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
I just got back from Cozumel about a month ago (will be back again in 3 weeks) but I just call ATT and have the International plan put on my phone. It still costs a ton of money to use the phone because you are using a Mexican carrier. Inbound text is free but out bound is like 50 cents per text (I have the unlimited text plan).

Just FYI, there is NO cell coverage on the south part of the island or the east side of the island.

There are generally WIFI connections down town if you need data.

Hi guys,

Is any chance to connect my Lumia 950 XL with Samsung Gear S3 ?

Phone: Microsoft Lumia 950 XL (Windows 10 Mobile)

Gear: Samsung Gear S3 (SM-R760)

Thx

Bardo
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
A Windows Phone and S3 bluetooth only model is a completely useless combination. The watch requires pairing with a phone capable of ruining n Gear Manager. The app is only available for iPhones or select Android phones.

The LTE Frontier (model SM-R765) has basic functionality independent from a phone if it's eSIM is activated on a carrier network. You can use it as a watch phone by itself or continue using your WP and remotely connect the S3 to a dedicated Android phone on a WiFi network.
[Samsung Gear S3] hbelton:
I'm in the same boat. Longtime Windows Phone/Mobile user, but fell in love with and bought the S3. I used the S3 with an iPhone for a while but have gone back to my X3. I have gotten the S3 to pair with the X3, but without the Gear app, it has no means to interact with the phone. With the next release of WM10 adding more Bluetooth functionality, there is hope. The more interest there is from the community, the greater, however slight, the possibility they'll throw us a bone. With the demise of the MS Band, there is something of a captive audience. In spite of what the nay-sayers want, WM is going to be around for some time to come.
[Samsung Gear S3] vincentwansink:
That's not nice, laughing at other people's preferences. The reason for the low market share is not a reflection of the quality of the product, so you might want to educate yourself before you mock people for using Windows mobile.
[Samsung Gear S3] Talon Pro:
Im in the same boat. I refuse to lower myself to using an Android device and never will i EVER own a Crapple. Ive come up with an interesting fix for the Band 2, mainly because its the BEST smartwatch out there, and they were stupid to not refine it and continue with it. I found this thread cause i was looking to see if someone hacked it to work with W10 or not. Fitbit is a lost cause, i actually owned a Blaze for 2 days before i found out they lied at the MS Store (and on the FB box) claiming compatibility with Windows 10 and Lumia 950. They allow it to pair, and thats it, no notifications which you have to do a fairly DEEP search into their forums to find out! They wanted to blame MS for not including a GATT server cause apparently, thats the ONLY way to communicate with a watch and a phone. Um, tell that to the Band 1, Band 2, Vector Watch etc etc etc... liars. I just wish WinMo6.1 was available on a Lumia 950, that would be the best, talk about high end device!

You really should thank MS for your smart phone, just like you should thank Henry Ford for your horseless carriage, jackass.
[Samsung Gear S3] Talon Pro:
No kidding, I can't believe I have to actually explain myself...MS didn't great the smartphone either, but without their efforts in making it accessible, you wouldn't have your precious Fisher Price iPhone either...in the same way HF made the car accessible for the (m)asses.

Hello everyone,

I have a little task. I want to change my system font. I'm on OOS 4.0.3 rooted. Every single app that says it does it only allows me to choose from their font selection. But I have a custom TTF font I'd like to use.

Is there any solution to get this working?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] deanr1977:
You could just mod the app & insert your font? Quickest way would be to get the font apk on your computer, change the last bit from (.apk) to (.zip), unzip & swap the font package but inserting yours, then resign the apk with a resigning app from the playstore, then install the app & pick the font name you swapped! Or you could go poking though your system files from a file manger app & just paste straight over the top then reboot. But to be honest the first way would probably be safer. But make sure before you start have a Recovery Backup ready just in case

Why wouldn't I? Because it was never suggested anywhere and was listed as a credit, not a requirement or something that we needed to read. And because the instructions said "install miflash," with no other information nor a download link. Sorry, but I had never heard of Miflash before and didn't know how it related directly to "Emergency DL Mode TWRP + Unlock + Upgrade By jcadduono." And a thorough Google search yielded nothing. And I've never once had to follow "credit" links to do anything else here, as they are typically citations more than prerequisites. Thanks for clearing it up, but the OP could be more clear. I'm looking forward to completing these steps.
