[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] mouwen:
Yea it is very likely that Lenovo will shut down ZUK in 2017. Shame... :(

I was reading the Chinese news today: http://tech.163.com/17/0427/07/CJ0UCH8K00097U7S.html

Lenovo has lost the market in smart phones (dropped 26% in 2016).

They don't have the money to keep both ZUK and Moto. So they will keep only Moto.

They should hire someone like Hugo Barra for Xiaomi to sell internationally to become successful.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] tikilou:
Hope they gonna release full source code (with drivers) of their builds for Zuk phones...
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] zwat:
no android security updates then. maybe demote it to a musicplayer and vacation phone
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] trevor68:

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] Karly Johnston:
Lenovo can go ahead and shutdown Moto if they are going to put ZUI on it.

- Unlocked bootloader (FRP also been unlocked), then system instantly rebooted

- (Auto) Broken firmware ("Factory Reset")

- Tried to flash TWRP (https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor8.html)

- Reboot to system, but when tried to boot recovery - stucked (but bootloader been alive)

- Reboot again to bootloader, and locked bootloader (for disappear "Unlocked and unthrusted"), OS alive (without Google Play and SIM)

Possible to upgrade honor 8 lite PRA-AL00 to volte support ???

Hi

How can I upgrade my honor 8 lite so that it can support volte feature

Model number is PRA-AL00

Build is PRA-AL00C00B183.
[Honor 8 Lite Questions & Answers] hamzio7:
I didn't understand the point of this topic...is it a warning?

Asking for help?

Or what?

If your phone bricked you can easily restore it... first you have to flash the stock recovery and then just do a factory reset...as you didn't touch any of the other partitions so the rest of your firmware should be fine.

And nothing about the thing that you said about the charging and the battery or shutting​ down make sense...

Huawei devices include two recoverys

One for the emergency and it has two options

(Shut down device and eRecovery)

And the stock recovery that includes three or more options (wipe data and etc)

So you don't need too wait for the battery to drain.

And you can hold the three hard keys for foce rebooting your device and if you keep your fingers on the volume down button and connect the device to pc then it will reboot to bootloader

And for the emergency recovery (nothing good comes with that) hold the bottons until the recovery menu appears.

If you need help contact me on telegram:

I'm struggling to find an MP3 player for may Kaiser that doesn't require reading glasses and fine motor control to operate. I listen to music and esp. podcasts while driving, exercising, etc. and need to be able to pause, rewind, fast forward, skip, adjust volume, etc. with my big, fat thumbs. I'd especially like a bookmark feature so I can save my place in a podcast after I arrive at my destination and have to turn it off.

I've searched the forums here but haven't found anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanx,

Try Mortplayer - I had the same requirements as you, all satisfied by Mortplayer and the MyPod skin.

The bookmark feature is built-in, but the thumb-friendlyness is only achieved by installing the right skin......

Hi everyone, I was searching through xda, however didn't find any proper thread which states how to change status bar icons. Please help me with some good information over this. I want to change icons to look like miui and/or ios. Substratum will be cool if there is any way through that on any custom flasable zip.
[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] corsaair:
Use Substratum Legacy and Statusbars Beta. Only a few icon sets, but more than nothing and it works.
[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ajsonofgod:
Thanks man.:good:

Installed it, got working, however it is not displaying in overlays and anywhere. Whenever I want to change icons I need to reinstall it. Then there is notification via which i can navigate to it and change icons. Is there is any easy way to do it without reinstalling every time?:confused:

Do any of them change the WiFi indicator icon? I have tried several themes for OOS but none of them were able to change the Battery icon or the WiFi icon. It changed the rest, just not those.?

Obviously cleared cache, rebooted etc. Just wonder if it's an OOS thing, as never had a problem on other Custom ROMs.
[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MarcTremonti:

Which one is better guys?... Also does the first one have 1yr warranty as i read somewhere that in uk law electric goods must have 1yr warranty?

If you wish to install a custom rom, FORGET about the first one! The ATT variant's bootloader is locked and no one has figured out how to unlock it! Not sure which variant the second link is though.

Thank you for replying but i'm mainly interested in the warranty and worried that is the phone stops working and i dont have warranty what could i do then....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] razakma16:
Also does this seem to cheap or expensive for a note 4 in 2017?

But it has replaceable battery ,external SD card it has also the same screen as note 5 .it is worth it, no ?

I'd go with the second one if I were you... on instinct.

Just make sure it has 4G.

The Note 5 is also worth it if you can find one around the same price.

The note 7 refurbished will also be online also.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukeMarlin:
I just followed Sony's tutorial on their developer site (can't post links…) to unlock and flash the ROM to AOSP. I also compiled manually the kernel in the process. I imported my mmssms.db as well to keep my messages.

The stock messaging app kept crashing when opening a conversation, so I tried to clear the mmssms.db, but then I simply can't get to the redaction screen. I can select contacts but that's it. I tried another app: it can send SMSes successfully, however I don't receive anything.

That's probably a bit confusing but I'd like to know where the issue could be, where to look and/or what useful debug infos I could get & share.

----- EDIT -----

I tried to put my sim in another phone: works

I put another sim in my phone: can send, can't receive as well.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukeMarlin:
Flashing it with the same bootimg and system without importing the mmssms.db fixed it. To be sure, I imported it again and it did the same as before.

It therefore seems that the replacing the DB is a bad idea, there must be another way.

[General Questions and Answers] Hecke92:
Hello,

there is this strange issue I am facing at the moment:

When I boot up my phone, there is internet, I can browse via Chrome, I can fetch mails and everything.

But after 10 seconds, 99% of my connectivity is gone. Chrome says, "Oh no! there is a problem with the website" I am trying to visit (every website). Tugabrowser force-closes then, Aqua-Mail tells me the SSL-Certificate is invalid, Youtube just closes without any error. I can search for apps in the PlayStore and see results, but cannot download anything.

It doesn't matter if I try it using the LTE-connection of my phone or using WiFi.

When I reboot the phone, it works completely for the first 10 seconds and then I get the same problems.

To complete the strangeness: WhatsApp and Spotify work every time (I mean even after those 10 seconds, when everything else stopped working).

Help is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards

Hecke

Your cheap tempered glass is crap; get one that doesn't cover the proximity sensor

if its cheap it shouldn't work at all but its working after a reboot at a times so i dont think its a tempered glass issue!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axel85:
Same answer, get one that not cover the proximity sensor. I'm a technician and I had some problems with many models of phones​, when the glass screen protector cover the light and proximity sensor. For my nexus 6 I bought intelliarmor intelliglass pro. This screen protector is great, and trust me it worth every single cent it cost. The oleophobic coating and the silicon adhesive side is better than any other glass I tried , and the sides of the glass are painted black ,to mask the halo effect due to the round shape on phone sides. The phones really looks like without any screen protector, it s the first time I found one this good . Maybe other reliable brands produce a screen protector like this one , but for sure , at least for me ,I will never buy another cheap Chinese one
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HueyT:
Before you blame hardware issue, try Proximity Sensor calibration apps or even proximity fix zip (flash in TWRP, designed for Lollipop but works for Nougat too).

[Huawei MediaPad M2] BlackHawk00:
Hello

I'm interested in the MediaPad M2. I'm especially interested in getting the pressure which the user used for the interaction (touch or stylus).

The MediaPad M2 has a stylus. Is it possible to read out the pressure applied to the stylus?

Second, the Android API provides the ability to get the touch pressure via the getPressure() method. I think this measure is a derived quantity from the area of the fingerprint. I have read that for some devices this method does not return meaningful values. Does somebody know if for the MediaPad M2 this measure works? And if so, is it more accurate for the M2 or M3?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasper_h:
A few years ago, I have been building Mackay ROM, based on CyanogenMod for a number of devices. Due to being busy at work, I have stopped with that. I recently picked it up with again with a Mackay ROM based on LineageOS.

It is actually LineageOS, with a few extras that I always miss:

-SU build into the ROM

-No hash sign when using SU

-Network traffic speed option for statusbar

-OMS Substratum theming

-OmniClock in stead of Lineage Desk Clock

The bootanimation is made by my brother. It is the family coat of arms of the Scottish Mackay clan to which my family is linked.

I try to build this ROM on a weekly basis, but it mainly depends on when interesting features are available/merged

Download:

AndroidFileHost

Installation:

-Make sure you have recent TWRP installed (3.2.1-1)

-Make sure you have recent hardware blobs from MIUI (minimum 8.1.4)

-gapps can only be flashed on clean installs

-clean install (factory reset) if coming from another ROM, dirty flash if updating

I am open to suggestions for additions, but I prefer a clean ROM, just some basic extras over stock LineageOS has always been my approach for Mackay ROMs.

This ROM would never have been possible without the hard work of bgcngm to make LineageOS for our mi5 and the other LineageOS developers.

Has this issue been resolved in this ROM? Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasper_h:
I don't use LTE, so I can't say for sure. In general, because this ROM follows LineageOS, it will have to deal with the same problems as well.

hi and thanks for this first of all. I'm surely going to try it, even just for seeing the bootanimation..i love all that matters Scotland.. your country and national anthem, rugby, braveheart etc :p

personally i don't use LOS for a very few and not so intrusive things i think. first of all date in status bar, like in most all other los roms. could you add it? don't think it would be too intrusive, but it is a real deal breaker for me :o

other thing i look for is multiple actions for HW buttons (like in RR.. show volume panel, show quick settings panel etc and not only the los standard ones) but that's secondary as i can also use a hw button remapper app for that :)

ah, and dt2s everywhere in lock screen would be great also!

bye will report after trying your rom!

I still have my S1 lying around, but stopped developing for it long time ago.

At the moment, I first want a robust ROM being build, then I'll look into the kernel as well. On S1, performance depended a lot on the kernel, I haven't seen such spectacular results on mi5 yet.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasper_h:
Date in statusbar is something I may look into. I actually use the calendar status pro widget, which also gives day of month in the status bar. May other apps can do the same as far as I know.

Remapping HW buttons is not something I'm interested in :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] georgekav33:
That's true, kernels are more mature now, performance-wise we may not win much (save it for the 32GB Mi5 with mild OC to 2.15Ghz). However, I think that due to Xiaomi's not 'fully' functional sources, there is space for improving the functionality aka charging speed, sound quality, maybe EAS or interactive governor tuning etc. Your expertise on kernel modding would be valuable to this community as well!! thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] FcukBloat:
thanks for the answer! yes I'm using an app right now to visualize the date in status bar in jdc's aosp, but i don't like so much having to use an app just for that ;)
