u must put the .apk file in /system/, and replace it with rw-r--r-- permission.

and of course you have to root your phone first to do that.

Hi all,

I have an O2 Orbit II and I can't get appointments to show on the Today screen.

In the full user manual it says to go to start > Settings > Personal > Today, Itams tab, then select Calendar and tap Options.

The problem I have is there is no Calendar in the list, there is an O2 Calendar which is ticked but there are no options for it.

Can any of you help me to get appointments to show on the Today screen.

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
I have the XDA Orbit 2 and I do have a calendar option in my Items tab. Strange.

I don't use it as I use S2U2 (the iPhone looking "slide to unlock" screen) to show my upcoming appointments when I turn the screen on.

Perhaps try that? It's a great app and it's free.
[Touch Cruise General] mattxda:
Hi,

I have an orbit 2 and swear by the freeware calendar plus :

http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10

it's the nuts and is a straight replacement for the standard calendar plugin !

p.s. the statement of "it's the nuts!" is my opinion only.
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
I don't use it as I use S2U2 (the iPhone looking "slide to unlock" screen) to show my upcoming appointments when I turn the screen on.

I have installed S2U2. But the thing is even though the screen is locked touch flow is still on which bugs me a lot. And more over when i am getting a call, only the number is getting displayed and not the name of the person. Any where I need to make some configuration changes
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
Hmm... just tried mine, and yes touchflo is on when the screen is on, but I'd never noticed. Out of interest why does it bother you, you're not likely to accidently activate it, or at least I haven't so far.

I hear a lot about people not getting caller ID, but mine's always worked well. Are your contacts on the phone or SIM card? And are you absolutely sure you haven't got the same number in there twice anywhere?

Finally, are you using version 0.99c?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AndroServ:
Hi guys, I got serious problem of app crushes. I want to just do a reset and change my rom cause it's outdated anyway. The thing is I have substratum theme and as of what I know you have to uninstall first your theme in order to install new rom. But Everytime I uninstall the overlays I reboot and it still seems like I still have the theme installed. Do you know what should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cdzo72:
Uninstalling substratum themes and app

Good morning to all.

I have a stock non rooted Galaxy Note 8 and after a theme updated last night and I restarted the phone, I get a System UI has stopped pop up box after reboot and then the screen goes black, that's as far as I can get....

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I can disable the theme via adb or whatever else I have to do to avoid a factory reset?

[Nextbit Robin] nemesis562:
So I've been reading about Vulcan and how it changes the way the applications can use a devices resources and I was wondering if it was possible to get the nextbit robin to support it instead of opengl and dx11?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leroyjd123:
I found the A1's camera pretty good sometimes, but the stock camera is quite useless, and no other 3rd party app seemed to be able to make good use of the camera.

Is there any way to get a good camera app, perhaps the Google camera, or the Samsung note 8 camera app?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Roykooiman:
U can't, u have to edit the build prop to enable camera HAL either it would not work.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leroyjd123:
In that case, how would you suggest on improving the camera? The camera hardware is itself quite capable, but the software is not upto the mark.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Roykooiman:
The answer is root lol, why u don't want to root it?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maross:
There is actually no root required for editing build.prop. You unlock the bootloader, then you can boot (not flash) the TWRP and mount system with W permissions. Pull the build.prop file, edit it and push it back to its place. Then you need to set the permissions of the file through the shell. As the last thing you can relock the bootloader and have the edited build.prop file without having the root.

Google it and you will find the guide.

I tested it myself. It works.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mqdjo:
Hi, can you post the guide that you are used for A1, because in google are many variants
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] matcho13579:
Safer option is to use a Magisk module which does exactly the thing but without having to add the lines into build.prop manually and setting the permissions etc
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nitroax:
What about OTA after that?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maross:
Google "how to edit build.prop without root mi a1" and pick the guide posted on themefoxx website. I am not allowed to post external links [yet].

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Does not work. After downloading the proposed update I get installation error at the very beginning. Maybe after restoring the build.prop file the same way as I modified it, it might work.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Once you mount the system as read/write, you can't apply OTA. This is why it's better to use Magisk instead of altering system files directly.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adrflg:
Hey there!

I just joined XDA for the sole purpose of finding this tutorial that I have seen floating around the web lately. But unfortunately, every website has a different version of how exactly this should be done. Do you know where I can find the exact steps to take in order to edit the build.prop without having to root my phone and without losing the OTA updates?

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:
If u edit build.prop means u will break OTA. 100%
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] srisan:
just root guys using magisk safetynet pass through.

under magisk hide , chose the apps if you face issue against root, it will open
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maross:
Hi,

Rajeev is right. You can edit the build.prop this way. And it is going to work. But you are gonna loose OTA, because you need to mount system with write privileges through TWRP in order to modify system file.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] erunamor:
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader, root, make some minor modifications (activation of camera api, copying fm radio apk to system folder, etc), unroot, and finally relock (flashing stock boot.img before, of course) ?

I want to have it unrooted because of bank payments, banks apps and streaming TV apps, but I would like to have proper camera and fm radio... Is it possible??
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tropbel:
no
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] matcho13579:
How about rooting the phone with Magisk and use Magisk Hide to hide root from those apps?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yashgumaste:
Htf do you think miui camera is useless. I am a photographer. And find it quit usefull and makes full use dual lens. Have you even tried HHT? Never compare two different apps. HDR+ is google's algorithm. You won't get in miui camera. HHT is miui's thing. You won't get in Gcam. Anyways HDR+ is not mandatory, you can get it from any post processing app.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:
A1 camera is superb in Day light only. It can't beat Google Camera in very low light. Everyone trying Google Camera here for getting Selfie Portrait mods. That not available in A1 camera .. I am not a photographer. But i can tell as a normal user in low light Google Camera perform really better than A1 camera. May be some 3rd party apps can do that but someone loves Google Camera
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yashgumaste:
Low light problem is due to absence of stabilizer hardware. Have you tried HHT mode?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:
As i told earlier i am a normal user. I even don't know what is HHT ... Can u explain?

EDIT

Found HHT from Camera settings. Will try today evening and let u know
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yashgumaste:
HHT mode takes multiple shots in different exposure levels, and combines them to reduce electronic noise. ( ie improve low light photo quality). Since it takes multiple shots, you might require to keep your camera stable for 1-2 seconds after clicking. The speed will depend on free ram, current cpu speed, hence processing power.

Without HHT mode, in normal mode, even if you keep camera attached to tripod, you won't achieve this, because electronic noise appears invariably of shaking. It needs to be eliminated in software.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:
So our current HHT is good now?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kvn95ss:
Isn't that what HDR does as well? But in HDR the end goal is to add/preserve detail, so I guess there's that.

HHT doesn't do much to improve low light pictures, imo. GCam does improve the camera in low light, but by a bit. It could still be better tho.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tubixak:
What about other third party camera apps? I know, gcam with hdr+ takes beautiful shots, but I don't want to root my phone and mess with magisk etc. So, Is there any third party camera app which performs even slightly better than stock miui app? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yashgumaste:
Very impressive, for this hardware

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

HDR is useful when you have very deep shadows and very bright highlights. Thus obtain high dynamic range. ie get make dark buildings brighter and bright sky darker to showcase clouds.

HHT is used to reduce low light noise.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] NITRO_100:
Shooting with HHT still doesn't get anywhere close to Google HDR, I get far better shots even in daylight then Miui camera, if there weren't that ugly pattern on yellow colored objects or clear sky it would be perfect.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sipollo:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sipollo:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sansan27:

Has anyone tried the method indicated on this ? page? Not sure if it'll work.

https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-sideload-google-camera-with-hdr-plus
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sobhan Bhuyan:
This will most probably not work because all the phones mentioned there have camera to api enabled by default and mi a1 does not have camera to api. So the only way to use g cam on our devices is by rooting and then enabling camera to api.

[Android Head-Units] furph:
Hi all, first time member here - sorry for any dumb questions.

I'm looking at getting my first android head unit. I don't have much criteria, but here is the list;

- 7" double DIN

- snappy boot time (2 - 3 seconds before playing music)

- nice looking - physically (don't like the joying logo or inset/bezel), and software (prefer the look of the latest android)

- video in for pi or dash cam

- bluetooth for calling and maps data (waze, etc). Or should i be looking at wifi tether?

At first, my research lead me to the following Xtrons units (basically searching whats popular on ebay);

- TB706PL (Octa-core RK3368 PX5, Android 6.0)

- TA701PL (Quad-core RK3188 PX3, Android 7.1)

- TL702P (Quad-core Intel Atom x86, Android 6.0)

Questions:

1. I've read a lot of posts on this site steering people to Joying HUs. Whats wrong with the Xtrons HUs?

2. Is the PX5 a big deal? Is octa core overkill for HUs? (I'm currently leaning to the PX3 over the PX5 due to later Android.)

3. Are all these units rootable?

4. Is there a likelihood of being able to upgrade the Android version of all of the head units in the future?

Thanks everyone!
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Joying is the brand with the greatest hacker support.

You don't need to buy the UM135 with deep plastic bezel. You can also buy UM128, which is all glass.

Yes, it has a joying logo on the front too.

PX5 may have an 8 core SoC, but they are 8 SUPER WEAK SLOW TURDS. They are badly implemented A53's. So don't for ONE SECOND thing that you're getting something on the same level as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. You're looking at several orders of magnitude between the 8 turds and the 8 custom A73's in the QC.

Of all the CPUs available for car radios, the INTEL quad-core is the strongest. Ignore benchmarks, its a totally different architecture that you CANNOT compare with synthetic benchmarks.

As far as upgrade android version, Joying with Intel CPU is probably the most likely one for being able to upgrade to AOSP8.
[Android Head-Units] CadillacMike:
i've never had an Xtrons. I have had Joying, Dasaita, and Seicane.

All have their pros and cons. The Joying definitely ran the best, and had the most updates, but it ran too hot and fried itself. Joying did replace it, which was cool.

However, i wanted something Jeep specific with a big screen, which Joying doesn't make, so I moved on to Dasaita with Android 6.0 and PX5:

https://youtu.be/ITCawVbBL7g

And i got the Seicane with Android 7.1.2 and PX3:

https://youtu.be/MWVsNWZjeCQ

The Dasaita is noticeably quicker than the Seicane but the Dasaita had 2 bugs I couldn't get past. The Dasaita would not recognize the MicroSD card from sleep. It would be fine from a full reboot, but from sleep it didn't recognize it, and the app switcher button would randomly disappear.

Seicane does not have those issues.

I think Xtrons and Dasaita are very similar, but not positive
[Android Head-Units] AL24999:
Pf84mtv has any one got the original software?

Xtrons gave me a wrong firmware for my system and now my system lost the function of all its buttons and now they emailed me saying sorry they dont have the firmware? Can any one help

Looks like the LG G6 and other phones are getting important updates this week from Verizon. https://www.droid-life.com/2017/11/...s-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-lg-g6-v20-moto-z2-z-play/
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DamiDev:
Verizon has started pushing out a new update to LG V20 units on its network. Arriving as software version VS99518A, it brings the November security patch.

Reports say the carrier is all set to push out new updates - presumably containing the November patch - to several other smartphones as well, including Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, LG G6, and Moto Z Play and Z2 Play. These updates should be rolling out later today.

#GSMArena
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xceebeex:
They waited this long to provide any patches, should have just waited until Oreo.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TBacker:
Sad part is when Oreo comes, they'll probably roll out 8.0 instead of the fixed 8.1. Nougat 7.0 has flaws that 7.1/7.1.2 fixed but they started with it. I remember suffering through the same bluetooth audio issues when my Nexus 6P was on 7.0.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] railfan-eric:
update from the Droid life article: LG G6: VS98813A

"On a related note, this is the first update for the LG G6 on Verizon since August 1, which means that phone is still on July’s security patch. If you ever wonder why we prefer Google’s phones so much for updates, this would be a good example."

So much for a meaningful update. I'm torn whether to upgrade to a Galaxy phone for the features or a Google Pixel for timely updates.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TBacker:
As much as Verizon gums up the update timetables, this is a big LG issue. I'm on an unlocked US997 and the 16A update didn't drop that long ago.

The G6 was a compromise for me - I needed an upgrade, badly wanted an unlockable AOSP device that would work on Verizon, but am not independently wealthy. This new price point sucks Google!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cave_diver:
The update situation with the G6 is totally ridiculous.

And not only that. Out of pure frustration I recycled my old Nexus 5x a few days ago and upgraded it to the 8.1 preview.

This old phone is so blazingly fast and snappy with 8.1 that it puts the G6 to shame.

2015 phone with Snapdragon 801 beating a 2017 Snapdragon 821 phone, quite unexpected
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xceebeex:
Still no sign of update for me. Maybe they are really going to wait until Oreo, haha.

I got my update this afternoon,its what everyone thought....security update
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ripjack13:
Howdy,

I just got off the phone with Verizon. I asked them if the ringer volume and the notification volume were separate or paired up together after this VS98813A update. They had no idea whether or not it was one or the other. I had upgraded to the G6 about a month ago from the Droid Turbo. They had an update that was automatically downloaded and it paired the volumes together. I hated it. It's like taking in your Ferrari for a tune up and getting it back and find out that they got rid of the bucket seats and installed a bench seat.

I'm sure some of you may say that is not a big deal, but it is to me. I like to keep the ringer at full volume yet have the ability to lower the text volume at night or somewhere where it would be a disturbance.

So, the question is....does the new VS98813A update pair up the volumes?

Thanks..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] duke69111:
After the update my ringer and notification volumes are still seperate.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

The update has not been favorable to my battery. Typically I get 18 to 24 hours on battery with 4.5 to 5 hours of screen on time. Yesterday after applying the update on Thursday, I got 11 hours total and 4 hours screen on time .

It also installed an uninstallable app called appflash. Which is getting demolished in the play store.

Right on. thanks. I installed it this morning. let's see how long my battery lasts. I had to look at system aps to see the apflash.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] avenje:
I also noticed it doesn't charge as fast in my car during my commute to work. I used to drain it to 97% before leaving and have it be back to 100% by the time I got to work 15 min later. Now it's only at 98-99%. Either it messed up the charging speed or the gps at high accuracy has gotten worse. Once again, nothing has changed in my daily routine.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
I've noticed that Pocketcasts is a big battery drain on my G6. I am a heavy user and usually charge my phone about 2 times a day. I know battery life is very subjective and there are a lot of factors that play into it. The only one you can compare it to is yourself.
