[Android Head-Units] k0sTi:
Has anyone tested the compatibility of Headunit Reloaded Emulator on Android head units? Not self mode but actually connection the phone via USB (so basically allowing AA).

I'd like to run AA on my HU, but also like to have multiple other apps installed and use offline navigation without my phone sometimes (Sygic).

I've looked into Joying head units, but I'm not sure which one would be best suitable for the job (Intel? PX5?).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] soilentgreen:
I use non root note 8, and I like to know if there is any way to color the icons of the status/notification bar (the clock, the battery, mobile data and so on) and the apps color something like this: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/themes/wings-root-substratum-theme-launch-10-t3693952.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tbvnz:
You know you don't have to be rooted to use substratum, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] soilentgreen:
Yes I Know. but I can't find how to change the color of the icons of the status/notification bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tbvnz:
I believe that since lollipop, the Android OS only allows white icons in the UI . From what I understand you should be able to tweak the alpha value to allow degrees of grayscale, but no color. Maybe hide the status bar and use third party app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ggrant3876:
No, you don't have to be rooted to use substratum! You just need an add on to use it with Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wase4711:
are there more themes out now that work on a non rooted note 8 with substratum?

i was using it when the phone first came out, and there were only a couple of themes that worked properly on the note 8..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mikep2323:
There is swift Dark,Samsung wings,and I use a sub theme called onyx from play store. You can basically pick and choose what colors you want and if you want dark apps or transparent apps. I'm using venom tron theme mixed with some from the onyx theme and Samsung wings theme. You can mix and match
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] soilentgreen:
Thank you, but I must ask how do you use Samsung wings theme? There is no link for download the app?

I try to change the green color in the play store app to red. how can I do it?

I use swift dark. I'll check the others you offer.

By the way I found great app to change the color of the icons of the status/notification bar (the clock, the battery, mobile data) and change some Icons (which not work with the batery icon-too small ) -without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.james.status.

I tried to check onyx but there's afew apps with the same name. Can you share the links of venom and onyx links?

Thank you.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
This is new... When the phone is not in use an a SMS message arrives, I get the notice as usual.

But, when I log into the phone to see the new message the time stamp is NOW, not when the message actually arrived.

Ideas?

Please I want to know if there are one ( software - prograam ) that I can make in my computer one Contact List and sync with my phone?

I have one BIG CONTACT LIST I don't have patientie for type this in my phone.

I have one MDA VARIO

With HTC WM6 Professional ROM

My computer have Windows VISTA and XP - i have 2 pc.

Sorry for my English but I come from Brazil, I speak Portugues. I live in Netherlands and I speak Dutch also.

Thanks.

Nina.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Vista won't be good for this, as it has historically had many sync problems with Wizard phones, so just focus on your XP machine.

If you're using Outlook to manage your contact list:

use only Activesync version 4.5 with your wizard

be sure to set up the sync to copy to both directions, then if you update one in the future, the other will automatically update (except when deleting, you'll have to delete them both manually)

If you're using Mozilla Thunderbird to manage email/contacts, you can try using FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com/), but I cannot vouch for it's effectiveness or quality, as I have never tried it.

If you're using some other Personal Information Manager to hold your contact list, you should consider making it into a csv (Comma Separated Value) format file and importing it into Outlook for this.

...and if it is any consolation, your English is better than what I am forced to read from some native English speakers.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] dnbdel:
Hello,

I ordered a brand new redmi 4x from gearbest. When I turned it on for the first time ever it got stuck at the boot animation. Even after 30 minutes nothing happened. I already went to the phone menu to wipe & reset everything, it didn't help though. Any idea what can I do without an unlocked bootloader? Before I send it back to china I want to try to fix it by myself.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] zerocoolgy:
I think the best solution is to take it to the service point because almost every single tweak needs an unlocked bootloader.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mrdeeplyinneedofhelp:
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, which I started using around March. Lately, I have been facing an issue which has left me troubled a lot. My Note 4X seems to be in a bootloop.

Around two weeks ago, I was casually using my phone in college. I had put around 25 apps on download from Google playstore. Alongside, whatsapp was running. I usually take pics of my lectures, so when the teacher had written on the board, and was about to erase, I quickly attempted to go to the home screen, by clicking the home button ( middle button), so I could launch the camera app, and take the pic. But, the phone didn't go to the home screen, and stayed at the app being used. However clicking on the recent apps (the left button), the two running apps showed. However, as I didn't have much time, I did what came in my mind. Reboot the phone. Unfortunately, as soon as it booted back, the screen remained black.

Its been like this for two weeks now. Whenever I turn it on, It will show the Mi logo, then the Android logo simultaneously below it ( Like usual when it boots), but after that, the screen goes black. Touching the three buttons at the bottom of the phone make the back-lit underneath light up along with a vibration(Like usual). Clicking the touchscreen gives a vibration. If a sim card is put inside, and a call made to the inserted sim card's phone number, the phone starts ringing as usual, however, still with a black screen. Another major issue I experience other than the black screen, is that the top right of the phone becomes really really hot as time progresses( within minutes)(This never happened before), and the battery drains really fast too. I get freaked out because of this( I think it might explode or catch fire), so I quickly turn off the device, after some tinkering.

I have been trying to find a solution since the past two weeks. Hard pressing the Volume Up+ Start button takes me into MiRecovery 3.0, which offers 3 options, 1.Reboot, 2. Wipe Data, 3. Connect To MiSuite. Going into 2 gives the option " Wipe All data" only, and 3 is seemingly useless the MiSuite doesn't support new versions of Android. Hard pressing the Volume Down+Start button takes me to FastBoot. It should be noted, that in both MiRecovery 3.0, and Fastboot, the phone doesn't warm up really fast, as it does when booted normally, and rather remains cool even if left for quite sometime in these modes (approx 30 minutes atleast).

The main thing I'm trying to achieve is to backup the data on my phone, mainly the photos (lecture notes), and whatsapp data. The rest of the app-data isn't that much important, albeit if also savable, it would be a bonus.

I haven't tried flashing any ROMs, recovery, or anything else, as I'm afraid the data may be erased, and as I have never done anything like this before. Also, my phone isn't rooted, as I didn't feel the need for it to be.

Help is highly appreciated. I hope to be able to safely extract my data, and be able to start using my phone again.

Thanks to advance to all those who reply.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nekoraysama:
Hello,

I recently bought a google pixel 2 XL. Coming from the previous model, google pixel XL.

I never had any kind of photo quality issues.

But on the Google Pixel 2 XL the front facing camera provides extremely bad quality photos.

Before the photo is actually taken it looks decent, but when the photo has been made it just blurs the photo, you can clearly see pixels on the photo and everything gets greyish.

Im running android 8.1

I enabled camera hal hdr+ in developer options.

Also tried a previous version of snapchat but that didnt provide me any difference.

Anyone else experiencing this and knows how to fix this?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nekoraysama:
Could anyone confirm having this issue too? doesnt matter if this is for Snapchat or any other kind of app with picture taking features.

Google Support isnt taking me seriously cuz noone else has reported this issue before.

Pretty poor on the Pixel 2. Instagram looks fine.

Because im having this kind of quality on more apps. Google Support always end up leading me to the app developers

Is there any update to getting the UK TV apps (BBC iPlayer, My5, All4, ITV Hub) working on AndroidTV?

The most recent update I've found is that ITV Hub is officially on the ATV Play Store (and it's works amazingly)

However we are still without BBC iPlayer (Shield TV only), My5, and All4.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Phat Phreddy:
Searching same.. In one home I have all FireTVs and just came to another home which I have all MiBox Android TVs.

Kinda shocked to discover theres no iPlayer app..

Wondering if anyone has tried to extract and sideload the AFTV version.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Bertonumber1:
If you do a search for BBC Iplayer, itv player etc on the likes of upto down, malavida you should find a SIDELOAD able apk file for those players. I have them on my firestick and android boxes and can mail you the apks of you struggle to find any for download. Be aware itv player is fussy with rooted devices.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] aidanmacgregor:
My5 is now available but thats it so far as for sideloading, yhes it id doable but it is a horrible experience using the mobile versiond of those app on Android TV, i have the UK Fire apks i extracted from firestick last week, they install but crash immediately, i remember looking into this years ago and remember something about installing amazon app store, go on a browser and "Purchase" the apps you want to sideload so they are associated to your account, if i remember correctly the success rate was 50/50, i have recent APKs if anyone knows more than i do and could maybe strip amazon services from the apks? i can upload if you need, i havent got as far as trying this out yet

This is my ATV copy of My5 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ry17i7l7gjqkps4/com.channel5.my5_3.0.0.96.apk?dl=0

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sreekantt:
nice one D

just curious, can we use the same trick to revert the model number when it's changed to generic_a15
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Nice question dude, i was just asking myself the same. Maybe, modifying eventual errors in the same file, or alternatively in the one in root/version/etc/component_version.txt (here there is a file with only one string with the general model; mine shows "Version-BLN-L21-432000 5.0.0.1(N.17110801)" obviously, but if it should show something relative to generic_a15, modifying it could do the trick) it could be possible to easily fix this issue. I'd like to test it by myself, but at the moment I'd like to avoid to mess up my phone again also since that I'm busy with other stuff :D anyway I'll finally test this sooner, and eventually I'll update the guide.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sreekantt:
yeah same with me - don't wanna delay other things as of now... :highfive:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedOnSomeSour:
I would like to switch my build number so i can receive an OTA since it is currently messed up. Every time i change the build number i get an update available. But in order to install i have to remove root and TWRP. When i remove those the build goes back to original and my phone cant find an update because it says im on the lastest build. Why does it switch back when i remove twrp and root? Im assuimg it may have something to do with the boot image?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Yes, i assume that too... Maybe when the root is removed and the original boot.img is restored, the error is restored too. You could maybe solve that by flashing the boot.img of the build just before the one you'd like to update to (but be aware and take a backup before, in case something happens. Once i flashed a boot.img of a previous build instead of the one that i had to flash, and at phone startup, my code to unlock wasn't anymore recognized, so i had to restore a backup)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedOnSomeSour:
Flashing a boot.img is having no effect on the build number. The strange thing is im on b366 but my phone wont accept that firmware with the dload method. It only accepts firmware much lower. I just need that build number to change without root but no amount of flashing does anything. Ive had a ton of android phones and they've never been as unpredictable as this one.

Edit: Flashing a version.img and vendor.img see to do it.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Reading that i was worrying, since that I'm about to update to B369 again after that Magisk V15.0 ****ed up my build.prop and other stuff too, and i thought the boot.img could fix that... But I'm glad you solved it. Both of them are needed so, or only one it's ok? By the way yeah, i can say that Huawei and their cosmos of firmware builds, different for every variant, is way too complicated. A project like Project Treble is what they need.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedOnSomeSour:
Well after flashing them the phone booted but I was unable to get into developer settings. It just kept crashing. It did change the build number though even after flashing to stock recovery without root. I flashed both through twrp. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe you can just try flashing version.img and let us know if it helped. I would try it without vendor.img first.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
I can extract the version.img of B368, but once i have it it's possible to flash it through fastboot/TWRP, or i have to follow another path, like typing somethin' by adb like "dd if=/sdcard/version.img of=/dev/block/mmcblck..." ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedOnSomeSour:
try fastboot first. So "fastboot flash version VERSION.img". If that doesn't work flash it in TWRP.

After its flashed try removing root and flash a stock recovery and see if the build number stays.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Yeah got that, thanks. I'll write here a feedback as i'll be able to do this
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
[MENTION=4856002]BakedOnSomeSour[/MENTION] okay i bring nice notices, here's what i did.

I tried first to flash the BLN-L21_data_hw_eu package from official firmware around 700MB by TWRP, but after some bloat apps installed that i always remove as i update, it failed with error 7 (if i don't remember bad). So i restored a backup made just before flashing it, to avoid issues of any kind.

Then i tried to flash version.img by fastboot, but it failed with error command not allowed.

Finally, i simply flashed the version.img through TWRP, then i completely removed Magisk, i flashed by fastboot the stock boot and recovery images as i do when i make an update, and... It worked. After booting to OS, my build number remained correct. It stopped from turning back to B369 after a reboot (even if I'm on B368 at all), solving the issue that i was facing. Thanks for the tip, I'll add it to the guide if you'd like to be credited :)
