[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatphatboy88:
Just checking back in. I updated the same Pixel XL Verizon edition to Pie and it reset my buttons at the bottom to factory settings. Just plugged the phone back in, turned on developer mode and debugging. Typed in the same stuff and it works instantly still.

The reason you have to type the word space in there is because if you do not, it puts the left and right button at the edge of the screen.

Google really needs to implement this option to switch the buttons. We shouldn't have to plug our phones into a computer to change some buttons.

Pull and unzip your SystemuiGoogle.apk. Go to res/layout/recent_apps.xml and back.xml. swap the names, replace, zip SystemUIGoogle.apk back up and put it back.

Any ideas on how to do this on Android 10?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatphatboy88:
I updated to 10 last night on my Pixel 2 (Verizon model) and of course it went back to the stock android settings. They must have changed the nav bar path. Because using this method still stores the string you input, but the phone does not reflect the change. Maybe somebody who knows more than me can chime in and help us figure out where the nav bar path is located now.

If I go into adb shell and input "settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space" , it actually stores that. You can read what is stored by "settings get secure sysui_nav_bar" and it outputs "space,recent;home;back,space" on mine.

I do not know to change it at this moment but I am still trying to figure it out.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] matrix0027:
have you had any luck on this yet?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bitstra:
I've managed to swap recent & back button in Android 10 this way:

Pull and unzip your /system/product/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUi.apk. Go to res/layout/recent_apps.xml and back.xml. Swap the filenames, replace, zip the entire Folder SystemUI, rename the ZIP to SystemUI.apk. Back up The original apk (i.e. 'SystemUI.sik') and restore the manipulated SystemUI.apk to /system/product/priv-app/SystemUI and set permissions to 0644.

Now reboot - and voilà, the buttons swaped...

BTW, I had to change the whole root folder to r/w.

Setting only /sytem r/w failed.

For all steps I used rootexplorer APP...

Good luck, if you give it a try
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bna2009:
This method does not work, when the back and recent buttons are outside the screen. In my Lenovo k8 plus, the nav bar is on the bezel, not on the screen.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ekterm:
Hi I am new to the phone modding thing and have a few questions before I go and install this on my Moto G4:

Is cellular service just plug and play pretty much? Does it read the sim card and automatically be able to connect?

There are a lot of nightly builds of the rom, do I have to reinstall at any point or does it just update like a rolling release distro?

How does security work with this os? Do these updates keep up with the official supported roms in that area?

I have only used oem android, so I am not aware of the differences in the usage between them, other than Lineage is much more open.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Hi Newbie,

I have had nothing to do with mobile setup. Standard things like phonecalls, sms, mobile data work well. People have issues with more exotic things like VoLTE.

LineageOS usually gets better with every build. So it's a good idea to keep it up to date. In the first days of each month there is a security update released by Google. It makes it whay to LineageOS till the middle of month (much faster than Motorola). So to keep up with security it's enoug to update once a month and skip the other weeklys. Updating is verry easy. LineageOS has a built in updater that does the downloading and flashing.

One big difference to built in Android is the possibility to get rid of Google Apps. I regard them as spy-ware. They are not part of LineageOS, but can optionally be installed. Google PlayStore and PlayServices have many security functions that are good to have for older Android versions. I think, I don't need these functions due to my up-to-date LineageOS.

My wireless charging stopped working randomly yesterday.

I did a factory reset and the phone now recognizes the charger, and says "fast wireless charging"

The only problem it is draining the battery. The battery does get warm.

I'm fully stock att version 950U

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloomarc:
Can icon packs contain icons that will work when "adaptive icons" are selected, so several shapes are automatically generated by the launcher itself?

All the example code I find is to make an app's icon to be adaptive, the ic_launcher and so, but can't seem to find any regarding how to do the same for an icon pack (not the app's icon itself, but the icons for other activities).

Does anyone have any example code to look at?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Redrockzz:
Hey Guys,

I would like to ask you some questions about your experiences with the mate 9 (especially software experiences, performance .. ).

I actually use a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I will upgrade my phone asap. I didnt waste any thought on getting a new Samsung Device like the S8+ or the note8, just because I hate Touchwiz and the laggs coming with it. Thats why I thought about getting the upcoming mate10 or the pixel 2 xl.

What i really like about the pixel 2 xl is the greeeaaat camera and the stock android experience. What i dont like about the pixel 2 xl is the design and the huge huge bezels.

Thats why i think about getting the mate 10 instead of the pixel 2 xl. But i'm a it afraid of getting a Huawei Device because of its Software.

How is EMUI on the Mate9? What about microlaggs? What about longevity, smoothness and functionality in comparison to touchwiz or to stock android?

I would be really grateful for a few opinions. Thank you very much, guys.

Kind Regards
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] p51d007:
I've had 3 Huawei phones. Mate 2, 8, 9

I don't use the default/stock launcher. I've always used Nova Launcher Prime.

I've had great experiences with all 3 phones. I got the 2 because of the large battery. Even for a snapdragon 400, 720p

phone it was very snappy. I bit slow on screen rotation, but, that didn't bother me.

Got the 8 because of the battery life of the 2. It was VERY fast. Not a bit of problems.

The 9 has been very good. Not one issue.

To some, not me, the only "glitch" is Huawei is not known for being very quick about updating the phone.

They may release, or leak a firmware update, but not for every regional version of the device.

For me, personally, doesn't really matter. Their stock firmware has been very clean, mostly bloat free, easy to

block/uninstall the little bloat, and very STABLE.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
Great, another "best ROM" thread. We already have plenty. Adding strange conditions like AROMA launcher doesn't make it any different from the existing "best ROM" threads. Why would you even add that as a requirement? It's the specific features made available in the AROMA installer that are important, not whether it has AROMA or not.

What do you think would constitute a "best ROM" anyway? Performance, features, and other ROM differences are all a matter of your individual preferences, needs and usage patterns. Therefore, each person's experience with a particular ROM will vary greatly. You should find what is best for

you

, instead of asking the advice of strangers, or turning it into a popularity contest.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] sandeep_kumar:
I have used tons of custom ROM. My advice is to have stock ROM with root access of magisk. Now you can install magisk modules of Dolby and Viper FX for sound enhancement. For the camera department, OOS is the best of all other ROMs and for the battery issues, you can use custom kernel of ElementalX with underclocked CPU and enjoy the best of all.

Thanks...........

Workaround for flashing oem partition

Until Sony updates their Firmware to allow flashing of oem partition, this is a workaround to flash this partition thru TWRP recovery and using dd.

Download and unzip SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_v05_tone.zip from https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/

Create a sparse oem.img from the downloaded binaries.

$ simg2img SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_v05_tone.zip oem.raw

Then flash the oem partition (workaround, until Sony updates stock image with oem partition writable)

Boot to TWRP recovery by powering off the phone completely, hold VOL-DOWN and POWER and wait for TWRP boot.

Or, fastboot boot twrp.img

$ adb root
$ adb push oem.raw /sdcard/
$ adb shell
# dd if=/sdcard/oem.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p42

[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Hendikins:
I don't have my f8132 with me right now, so I'll refine this in a few hours when I can check it rather than reciting from memory, but here's a solution to the OEM partition problem.

Note that this is potentially dangerous if you don't know what you're doing (although in the worst case you should be able to reflash stock firmware - just don't blame me if you brick your device).

* Make sure you've got TWRP on the device

* When the device stops during the boot sequence, connect via USB cable

* Run "adb root" (you'll need this to be able to read fstab files)

* Open an adb shell

* Determine the block device of the OEM partition (IIRC using "mount" will give you the LVM device not the actual block device, so you'll have to check by using "cat fstab.dora" or "cat fstab.tone")

* Grab the binaries for Oreo, unzip, and unsparse the image file

* Copy the unsparsed image file to an SD card, or push it to somewhere persistent on the device

* Reboot to TWRP, and open TWRP's terminal

* Run "dd if=[path to image] of=[block device of OEM partiton]"

* Reboot to system, and the device should boot Oreo.

Incidentally, when I built AOSP 8.0 myself I flashed the Nano Open GApps + Magisk 14.2 beta and it all worked.

Thanks! Saved me trimming that down now that I'm home *grin*.

Having picked up an XZ Premium recently I haven't tested much with AOSP on my F8132 (other than booting, wifi and camera), but Sony's "Current platform functionality" list should give a pretty good idea of what does and doesn't work with a stock build.

Sorry, I meant to ask if the device trees and kernel are just the ones from the xperia github repo by Sony, or you had to patch them.

The reason I'm curious is that I am planning on doing personal build and would like to know if those repos are good enough to use for Oreo already, or need patching to get a properly working phone.

Sony doesn’t atm allow fastboot to flash oem.

So, as a “hack” , we use dd to write to that partition, which we from TWRP can do.

try removing these files:

Instead of removing files, appending the filenames with some random extension would be better. So, if anything goes wrong we can revert the changes.
