Nah, they are all mostly bad. The best of the bunch seems to be NucleaRom, it has an okay kernel (Radioactive, not too good battery-wise but I've never seen so little UI lag, like, ever) and okay features (like 1/3 of what ResurrectionRemix has), an awesome maintainer (OrdenKrieger) and boots in like 15 seconds

But the stock ROM is currently the best of them all, not battery wise (you can get some obscenely high SOT numbers on LineageOS with Substratum black themes) but it's fluid and stuff runs well on it. The status bar is hideous though, and MiFavor is white themed, on an AMOLED screen, what the crap ZTE?

Don't try PureNexus, permanent hard brick from the looks of it.

LineageOS works okay but it has some compatibility problems with some apps I use, dunno

I think you could try the dual-boot patcher, that way you can test the roms and keep a working stock rom to use it as your daily driver without losing data. i never used the dual boot patcher though, so good luck if you will use it

Hi. Last month I forgot my charger somewhere and I endded up using another one that didn´t work fine.

my problem is that the usb conector only work for charging (turbo charging work too) but not when I try to connect it in my pc.

I already use different cables so I think I should change the usb port, but it could be something else? maybe the board is broken?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] moonlightdrive:
If you tried to connect your USB cable directly to the back ports of your PC, i mean, the motherboard USB ports (not the front ones), and tried in differents PC's too, looks like your charging port has been damaged.

Something exactly as you described happened to me in the Nexus 5, but in that case, just had to change a flex cable that contained the charging port.

Anyway, it's a very cheap part, and it's pretty common that the welding of the USB port get broken. You will have to send your device to a mobile repairs shop, or change the charging port by yourself (only if you have some knowledge using welding stations).

I recommend the first option because it's the most common break on a phone, and these guys in the shop must be very accustomed to repair this (it's not very expensive either).

try any other phone's data cable! :?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] glennstude:
I've tried another cable and my computer connects but says the file is empty. I tried my old phone and I can see files. So I think there must be a setting on my Moto 4 that I need to change. When I drag the status line down I don't see USB or connect to camera.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, when you pull the notification shade down, do you see a notification about 'USB Charging this device' when your device is connected? If so, then what happens when you tap that notification - do you see a pop-up like in the linked screenshot? If so, tap the Transfer Files option in that pop-up and your device should re-connect and show the internal storage of your device.

If your device is in USB charging mode, it seems normal to not show files (as a security measure?).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] hy565:
Coming from the Nexus 6P, I've accumulated serveral USB Type-C chargers/powerbanks/cables that support the typical type-c USB-PD 5V/3A charging profile.

Dash charge on the OP5 is great and faster no doubt, but I'm still a little disappointed that the OP5 doesn't support the standard 5V/3A charging profile, and defaults to a much slower 5V/1.5A when used with non-dash charge USB Type-C accessories.

That means that without a dash-charge charger + cable, charging on the OP5 is slower than phones from a few years ago using microUSB that charge at 5V/2.1A.

Since the OP5 is using a USB 2.0 Type-C port, could it be possible that turning on the 5V/3A USB-PD charging profile is just a matter of a software mod? If anyone here has more insight to this please share!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] TwinAdk:
I'd the issue here that without the dash charge adapter, the OP5 charges with 1.5A, where the USB C cable / port / USB 2.0 version actually supports 3A? Meaning the phone is lowering the amount of electrical current it attempts to draw, by too much, because it is not connected to the dash adapter? And thus wants to 'protect' whatever charger is connected?

If yes, this is a kernel issue, and [MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION], [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5284595]adinkwok[/MENTION] would have to give their opinion on the matter :) I have seen multiple times that charging behavior is modified in the kernel, and I know that [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] have done so previously (HTC One M9 or M7, causing the charging to be faster), but every phone is different, and charge behavior is where you (as a dev) really have to pay close attention :good:

I'm all for the idea though - the limit seems pointless as the charger will only deliver what's possible, even if the phone asks for more.. Though im no expert on the subject :angel:

Kind Regards

Can you explain?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] MishaalRahman:
I assumed that was the case. But what exactly does "wm size" really change? Can you explain how it is able to "simulate" higher resolutions? Is it just changing the DPI? What is really going on when you run that command?

You can read source code for wm command here:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
Didn't you guys read what [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] said? He said it's only virtual 4K and not real 4K.

He said only kernel can change real resolution, I asked if a modder can add it or only Sony which he replied that he could but wouldn't.

I then asked if it was because it would destroy the performance/battery.

So not sure why you're replying to what I asked.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] MishaalRahman:
I confirmed by reading the source. This is not real 4k. Sorry guys.

So the phone has a 4K Display. But doesn't run in 4K. But it can if you modify some data with ADB. But that's not real 4K...

Guys... wtf???

It's been more than a month I am thinking to buy this phone but I don't because no one really knows what this phone can or can't do. xD
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] E!ch0:
by saying not a real 4k u guys mean its just shows different resolution on paper but actually renders in regular 1080p?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] leijonasisu:
God seriously, how much of an explanation do you guys need? Google answers anything you ask.

It's not NATIVE 4k. i.e. your apps and other things are not running in 4k. All you're really getting is more space on your screen, similar to changing the dpi. Except in this case instead of things becoming tiny, due to changing the DPI they stay relatively the same size. You are not getting more quality, you are not getting more pixels etc. Apps like games etc. will not run at 4K and suddenly look tons better. If the source is NOT 4k, then you are not looking at something in 4K it's as simple as that.

Almost all content isn't 4K yet. Only Netflix and the Gallery app and a few more apps that can correctly tell the Kernel to run in 4K, can actually run in 4K.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Ok, so let say that you didn't modify the ADB. You are running a normal 2k Movie Player App. If i wanna watch a 3D 360 4k Video, will the video be rendered at 4K? Or at the lower resolution of the Application?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Combonary:
Lower resolution of the app. Unless it's the Sony app, it won't render in full 4k
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nomailx:
now that's bummer. One would expect that whatever the resolution of an application, the Media file that application renders would keep its native resolution. Why would an application also downscale the resolution of the video it plays.

gj Sony.

PS: btw, about the ADB modification and to you guys who keep saying that it's not Real 4K. I think Erica just proved you wrong. She changes the resolution, and compares a game running on 4K and FHD. There are more Pixels and Apps suddenly starts to look way better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlhBw5WsEQ
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Combonary:
Say you're playing a 4k video on a FHD display vs on an actual 4k display... That's what playing a 4k video would be like when you're not playing from the native Sony media apps.

As for the 4k mod, I did see that the text and other things were much sharper than without the mod. Don't know about it being real or not, just know it looked better.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ninjy:
So, "4K apps" like Album, Youtube etc.. marketed by Sony are switching the virtual resolution or have specific API/low level code that enable 4K calculation?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Just ignore his comment. What he's trying to say is something like "Bios runs at 480p, so Windows 1080p is not real resolution". It doesn't make sense. The youtube link I posted above is proof.

The truth is, if your display is 4K, and an App shows 3840x2160 resolution with 806 ppi, it's 4k, period.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ninjy:
Lol, really dude?

I kindly think you don't understand how things work here, and, the sense of my question. Plus, I will not take anything from a random youtuber for accurate.

It's not a simple thing like "it is 4K or not".

But the video illustrates my question.

The 3D isometric game she compares, it looks like it natively supports 4K res. BUT it was running in 1080p before she force the WM to 4K.

So here it is my question:

How "officially 4K apps" announced be Sony actually knows that the device have a 4K hardware display when the system runs in 1080p ?

You see now ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] the_brad:
As for youtube (maybe amazon video, too) this line in build.prop seems to "inform" the app:

# 4K for Youtube

Its also not realy 4k?

I tested it with a 4k 180 grad VR Movie that i downloaded and played with a VR Player App or another Player, that not switch the screen to 4K.

They play the movie in bad quality.

I play the same Movie with Sony Player from the Phone Album, Yes that is 4K :)

Then i change the Screen with ADB, an play the Movie with the VR Player, now it have the same 4k Quality like play 4k movies with the phone.

Why also people say, its not real 4k with this adb mode.......

not really the truth

i must lough :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FatCash:
As a reader I see this thread ended in a disagreement. Can we get a closure on this?

Do we get real 4k or not by doing the adb trick?

Is there any other methods that perhaps require root to achieve true 4k?

Edit:

People in this thread are convinced that adb trick only emulates 4k.

https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/how-to/bounty-native-2k-4k-t3746891/

There is a bounty going on for achieving real 4k, I suggest you pitch in too!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iArvee:
This method only emulates 4k. You can even do this on older phones. :D

AOSP 8.1 has a resolution switch that enables 4k, and also on different refresh rates (120hz!) However, Sony is working on a fix for said resolution switch.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
guys its not native. If people are not sure, just try to run commands on a none 4k display, simple as that.

i tried it on my Z5C it has a 720p display, and I could override it to 2k, so no its not a native resolution but rather virtual.

end of story.

you should really do your research before debating over such information, these are pro developers here they would not lie about their work.

as for how the hell does the mod make the resolution look so sharp, ever heard of VSR? (Virtual Super Resolution), a software that allows supported desktop GPU's to run at the maximum resolution they support for monitor.

for example. I own a Radeon R9 390x which supports 3200X1800 but I have a 1080p monitor, now using VSR enabled, I can override resolution to 3200x1800 virtually on a 1080p screen.

this is almost exactly how these adb commands work.

thats how my Z5C worked on 2k, the gpu it has, supports a max resolution of QHD which allowed the adb commands to virtually run the screen on 2k when its actually 720p

here is a link on how VSR works:

https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/vsr

now we just hope our pro developers from XDA with the support of kernel releases by sony that support modifying to enable native 4k will come up with some thing for us in the near future.

you can actually see here videos of VSR/DSR vs native 4k, just browse and you will see that its really hard to tell a difference (if you even can)

so this mod is not native 4k but it is quite impressive and it will definitely trick your eyes and make it almost impossible to tell if its real 4k or virtual

gotta love technology right?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] amanieux:
so if adb wm size only resizes the virtual device (still better rendering in 4k and downscaling to 1080p than rendering only in 1080p because i can clearly see a difference with https://apkpure.com/virtual-monitor-resolution/com.ORParga.Virtual_Monitor_Resolution ) what are the apps that really switch the screen to 4k ? the photo editor app, netflix app and youtube app but not cardboard VR app or the hacked daydream VR app ? if it can switch to real 4k based on each app is it a white list for "4k enabled apps" in the system or is it a value in the binary of the app's apk? if it is a white list can't we just rename cardbaord apk as netfllix ? if it is in the apk itself can't we mod the cardboard apk with a binary hex editor ( i mean without having to recompile the apk) so carboard app can switch to real 4k ? thanks.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rome7643:
Ok so here's what happened:

After getting really bored with EMUI I found a custom Lineage OS rom for this P8 so I flashed it with no problems. When I turned up the volume nothing would come out from the speaker. Then I flashed stock EMUI to find out if the ROM was the problem but no, it persisted although I could call and use both speaker for listening but only in calls. So I tried with a custom ROM based on stock EMUI that supported some other things but again there was the same problem.

Hello PocketPC guys !!

I was wondering how I could get my life more efficient using my Pocket PC. A Pocket PC is a great way to organize one's life, isn't it ?

How to use your Pocket PC to help you in daily work ? What tool do you use ? What tool would you like to use ?

Personally, I am using my PocketPC for this:

- As a task manager: I use Pocket Informant. I like the fact that you can have it sync with Outlook, but I am not happy with the fact that you can not make hierarchical tasks.

- As a diary: I use Pocket Informant

- to track my personal finance: with Cash Organizer. I have used Spb Finance for a long time, but I had lots of problem with it, so I moved to Cash Organizer, and I am pretty happy with it. I have seen that there is a new Spb Finance version, which works with Windows Vista, but I wonder if this version is stable because the previous one was not stable.

I do not use it for reading my emails, I think I should subscribe for a MS Exchange 2007 account, but I haven't found which one.

Interesting question. Let's see:

1. As a journal for projects (Outlook Tasks, project = category)

2. Password / account info / etc. storage: (Outlook Notes, easy to lookup any info on desktop version)

3. Music Player (Pocket Player + HT820 or Monster's FM transmitter on car)

4. Financial manager (also Cash Organizer)

5. Internet Sharing at home.

6. Email / Chat (Outlook / Yahoo! but will try Fring...)

7. Agenda (Outlook Calendar Today plugin)

8. Camera

9. Gaming (mainly chess and FinalBurn)

10. Astronomy Map on observation nights (Pocket Stars)

11. Some Web Surfing (Opera and PIE+PLUS)

12. Alarm clock (Gentimer)(Yes, I actually threw out my old clock!)

13. Calculator (HP48 Emulator)

.... AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....

14. Phone!
[General Topics] chris247:
I haven't yet found a good hierarchical task manager. Although I would love to manage my tasks via Outlook, I find it too much limited: I need a way to organize them in a hierarchy. Are your project organized in a hierarchical order ? or is it a list of flat tasks linked to a project ?

You are like me, you probably haven't be satisfied with the password managers (flexwallet, Spb Wallet, eWallet, ...). I hate the way they are organized: I don't need to have a screen displaying a credit card to understand that this is my credit card number ! just having nice fields that I could customize the way I want would be better.

Anyway take care that no one as access to it.

I have tried Spb Time but wasn't happy with at all: the way to set an alarm is such a crap. I just had a look on the Web about Gentimer, seems to be nice. I will have a look at it. Currently I use the default Windows Mobile clock (!)

Cool ! a HP48 guy !! I had a HP48GX, I still things it was a great calculator.

Hello Chris247,

1. You are right, my tasks are just listed under a particular category which is the project. The only other classification is the status of the task. However, I just need to able to search for keywords to find tasks and info, and see which ones are due (red color) in my calendar view.

2. The other problem for me using those password managers is that I need a separate desktop program tp lookup stuff, yet, using notes I can just use the search function in Outlook and get my info FAST! And yes, sometimes I worry about the security of the information...

So the bottom line for me is being able to input the information fast and easy on the ppc, and then be able to search for it fast and easy with the desktop computer and/or the ppc. I use to love my Palm IIIxe from years ago, but at some point I was handling more than 15 projects at a time, which exceeded the maximum categories supported by the palm OS. I even called them once to complaint about it. Back then they said they didn't have plans to change it. LOL! I wonder if they ever did fix that...
