[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDubsstep:
I'm gonna explain you all the method for you to know and if somebody has any problem.

First of all, if you did something and was wrong, go to flash your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/. This restart your phone, quit root and recovery.

1- Unlock your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

2- Download and install Kingroot App, root and then download Check root App if all is okay.

3- Download the XZDualrecovery here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZ...g21jd24hub9so04tqn9vc50&randomizer=_oupgp8psh and follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteAd_MzsPI

4- Once recovery is installed, reboot, enter the recovery and Press Wipe and select Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Maybe system but i don't know.

5-Install the ROM and without reboot install the Gapps. First time maybe it could 10-15 minutes or less to restart with the new ROM, just wait.

Hope it worked for you!

1 more question,

when you install the the xz dual recovery what stock rom you use? kitkat or lollipop 5.1.1?

and when you install TWRP 3.1.0 it ask to flash at boot or fota kernel,which one you choose?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franticfreddy:
Dual recovery will work in both Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop rom.

The very first install should be from KitKat ofcourse, because in KitKat

its the most easy to root, and root is require for install dual recovery.

The recovery must be installed in fota partition if you read instructions

on twrp homepage. :rolleyes:

Its hard to try help people when they partly ignore

and do their own experiments ..:confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dummytest97:
Nice point you have there..:victory:at least I will not doing wrong step again..thank you [MENTION=7192829]franticfreddy[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDubsstep:
No, no matter if you flash or not, if you unlock the bootloader is gonna be unlocked even if you flash. If you did something and was wrong, in my opinion you should flash and start again.

And the rom i used was lollipop 5.1.1. I didn't see what you say about kernel or boot, maybe i did it wrong but i'm good now with the ROM.

I forgot to mention that after installing dualrecovery you install TWRP 3.1 but i see you know it ;)

Hello, I am having trouble with my Samsung T815 running Marshmellow, rooted. It charges really slow even with a 5.0v charger. I was wondering if someone knows how to fix this problem, thanks. :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Original charger?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonetyk:
No, why?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Friagram:
swab some 99% isopropyl alcohol on the usb connector tabs, and the usb cable. Let it evaporate.

This fixes the issue almost every time for a few months.

Besides cleaning the connector and port, use the original charger.

Hello,

I want to buy an android unit for my Rav4, but I can not figure out which system is better in terms of technical data.

The price is quite the same, which system do you think I should choose between the following units?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-A...32GB-ROM-WIFI-3G-DAB-Car-DVD/32807760461.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4G-...r-stereo-gps-multimedia-tape/32806648040.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oct...o/32814367145.html?trace=msiteDetail2pcDetail

At first I thought of buying a system of "Joying" or "ownice", but the lack of external buttons and a CD drive made me look for another system.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] acejin:
I want to buy the following system:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oct...o/32814367145.html?trace=msiteDetail2pcDetail

I would highly appreciate any personal opinion!
[Android Head-Units] Kurt Lund:
I would not recommend you to buy Ownice. Buy a MTCD model where you can use an alternative ROM like Malaysk. The Firmware from Ownice is crap and there is no support at all. I believe Joying has the same problem, but I am not sure if there are some Joying models that are standard MTCD models.

Regards

Kurt Lund
[Android Head-Units] acejin:
Thank you for your reply!

How can I identify an MTCD model? Is it supposed to be listed somewhere or should I ask the seller?

I would greatly appreciate if you could give me an opinion on the following system:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oct...o/32814367145.html?trace=msiteDetail2pcDetail

It looks very good on paper, what do you think?
[Android Head-Units] Kurt Lund:
Take a look here: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...lopment/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-device-t3598908

You need to ask the seller what MCU he is using or better ask him to send to a screen print like the one Malaysk has put into his first post. The processor is correct. That much I can see.

Regards

Kurt Lund
[Android Head-Units] acejin:
The seller sent me a screenshot, I think that's the right version, right?

My launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. I focus on simplicity and rock solid stability. If you do not agree with that and would rather have experimental features, you are in the wrong thread.

Glad to see you posting on XDA!

If you have time, can you submit your app to XDA Labs? Just log-in here: https://labs.xda-developers.com/

with your XDA account and add a new app.

This way users who install your launcher won't have to manually check Github for new updates as long as you upload new builds to Labs!

[Android Apps and Games] Fedway:
I am having issues installing this on a Nexus 6P with the latest Android O developer preview installed. Installation progress bar freezes at about the 90% mark and the installation fails. Has anyone been able to successfully install this on a device running the O developer preview?

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Ended up wiping and starting fresh with the O developer preview. After doing so, Launcher3 installed without issue. Is there any way to get the Pixel icons working with this? I downloaded the Pixel icons for 7.1.2 from apk mirror, but it doesn't seem to have taken. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] KyleBryant:
Working great on LG Aristo, Suggestion: icon pack support.
[Android Apps and Games] stoneule:
Please either add pixel icons or icon pack support. Would make this the best launcher ever!!!
[Android Apps and Games] akapu01:
Its like dream come true for me... using it on my Galaxy S8... But I have two requests and an issue:

1. could your please support pixel exclusive automatic round icons for supported apps... it is possible as Action Launcher 3 has this feature with Round Icon Option on non rooted phone.

2. Is it possible to overwrite app closing animation like stock android (slide down). this feature is available in Nova Launcher through "Reveal App Animation". I don't like the default zoom out closing app animation of my Galaxy S8.

3. Check the screenshot: the Navigation bar color is muted .. not white .. gray color.. this is related to Poor Samsung design... Nova launcher has fixed the issue... But each and every other 3rd party launcher has same problem.. kindly look into the matter..! Thanks..

https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.3

- Possibly fixed Samsung's Secure Folder and MIUI from causing crashes

- Updated the requested Google Now overlay version from v0 to v5, like the O Pixel Launcher

- (EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL) added an entire library of obfuscated code to get the app shortcut row working

- Added a toggle for the app shortcuts, so you can disable them if they do not work properly

- Force the Pixel colours throughout the app, including the widgets and preferences

There is also a version without the entire app suggestions library in it, if it causes any problems you should try that one.

Google crashes? Oh man, that's a new thing I've never heard before. Only way I can get that to happen is in an emulator with a broken Google app variant. Is your G App up to date?
[Android Apps and Games] Paradoxxx:
Hey, thanks a lot for your launcher, looks dope !

Just to let you know it has been featured on the biggest French - Android website today, so your Github might receive a bit more traffic :)

On a side note : I've tried it on my Galaxy S8, and I was not able to get the weather to show, irregardless of the number of time I've pulled down the cards to refresh google feed.

Do you happen to have an idea on how I could fix it ?

Also on a side-side note, would you implement icon support into it ? As with samsung ROMs we have the ugly looking icons instead of rounded/pixel ones.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Yes, you can try APK Editor Pro or APK Tool. Look at the AndroidManifest.xml file.

Thanks for this [MENTION=3012129]azaidi[/MENTION]! Using it on my Galaxy S8 and working good.

Although, I don't see the long press app shortcuts in this launcher which I saw earlier on the old nexus launcher when I used that on my old OnePlus One. e.g. I used to get the direct link to my apps and games when I long pressed the play store icon. With this launcher I just see the app info option, widgets (new) and the notifications (new).

[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I think it's because of the Google Now Page. You can still try compiling the source code with a different package name.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
You need Android 7.1 for the long press shortcuts, and the S8 is on 7.0

One basic question. What is the advantage of this launcher over the normal pixel launcher or Lawn Chair?
[Android Apps and Games] Gero71:
Normal (original) pixel launcher has no Google Now when installed as normal apk on other phones.

No advantage over Lawnchair, cause this one (launcher 3) has no modification options as icon pack, dark theme, hide search, etc.

This launcher is one on one copy with pixel launcher and great if you seek a non modifying, simple launcher with Google Now page and swipe down for notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] Decree:
I've got a pixel 2 xl and I'd really like to run this launcher as I prefer the swipe. Down from anywhere for notifications, and I'm really not a huge fan of the new Google search bar placement. I ran this launcher on my 6p.

I can't run this launcher because the same named package as the oem launcher. And I don't get the option to Uninstalled or disable the oem launcher in the settings. I tried this option:

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

But got an error saying that it wasn't installed in user "0".
