id use atom launcher over nova any day.

much faster and a lot of feature nova gonna let oyu pay for. its free with reasonable little ads in form of icons you can simply delete and be done with it.

only thing you probably dont want the standard icon design but you can switch back to native icons easily.

its very fast even on old devices and wont eat your battery while still allow for a lot of customisations.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] BridgetheGap:
I am a former Samsung S7 user and I really like the alarm clock where I could set individual volumes for each alarm. I could adjust the volume from within the alarm/clock app, and set multiple alarms for the next day, with each alarm having a different volume. Example a loud alarm to wake me up, and a quieter one during the day to remind me of a meeting.

Can I download the Samsung clock onto the op5T without rooting the phone. Also any instructions on how to do it would be most helpful. I found something on APKMirror but not sure which one to download and how to make it work on my phone.

Thank you!
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prince K14:
Of course in the settings in PIP, it is enabled for chrome, YouTube, WhatsApp,Play services(idk y)

But it doesn't work, I read you just have to press home button, but doing that, pip doesn't activates, and I'm on home screen and the app is in background, no pip.

Also I wasn't able to upload screen recording and screenshots as it said, network error in XDA labs app, but the network and net speed both are good now, idk y all this happening

Also when I click on the "Buttons" settings, an error message comes:- lineage os has stopped, and lineage os keeps stopping

On first boot up, the google setup wizard took so much time and I hardly managed to set my accounts after many attempts because it said no connection although the network was fine and worked nice in another device, and also every gapps, core and the gapps of nano or pico (those where the only ones I was able to install as others showed error code 70) were contiously crashing one after another repeatedly.

After all this worked fine and smooth, unless my internet pack was over and I bought another, there was no internet suddenly although the pack was on, and worked on another device. I had to reinstall and try everything and after that I changed the access point then everything was back to normal.

Y did this happen on just changing an internet plan?

The recorder application never works you open and start recording either screen or sound and it crashes

There are many settings that never work, especially data saver(after reinstalling the os, it was fixed)and some that don't work sometimes but after restarting works fine, especially battery saver, which I always have to keep turned on, as the battery drainage is too much even in battery saver mode(if it works at all)

Well I have to admit the ui never hangs, never ever,and that's keeping me from trying some other ROM

Will there be an android 8.1 lineage os for my moto e? If yes, will all this be fixed?

How can I currently fix all this?

AND AFTER WRITING ALL THIS, THE POST BUTTON IN XDA LABS APP WOULDN'T WORK?

(am I just heavily gifted with problems?)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jute79:
Bought a new display and frame to my old note 3 from china.

Problem is that the frame does not have heatpad for the pm8941 power management chip.

There isn't even any metal frame where the pad should be only a hole in the frame.

Look for yourself. On the left is the frame with missing piece. Roughly the shape and size of a sim card slightly left and up from cpu heatpad.

I bet the heatpad for the power management chip is not there just for fun, but how hot does the chip get?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Szilard666:
I bought a mate 9 1 month ago. Everything working out fine. Then i decided oh i want Oreo. Using firmware finder i i downloaded c636 Oreo but I was c185. I thought okay it will probably not authenticate itself because wrong firmware right? Ok so it downloaded and installed. I said to myself no way yeeeey. Then horror struck. First it was stuck at eRecovery and fastboot. Couldnt move from that. I said to myself okay that is lets take it to service centre close to my house. Then i received a call he said it is the motherboard. I was shocked. When i got the phone back it wont even turn on nothing no charging no pc recognition nothing. What did they do in service centre? They said they didnt open it is against my will and they charge 25 dollars for opening. So i sent it back to the store where i bought it . It is under warranty. My question is do you think they are going ti fix it for free? . The boot loader is locked , I never rooted nothing,just this stupid mistake.

I said it just restarted while is was playing a game.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
Worst case when flashing the wrong firmware is that you end up in erecovery. You could've requested an unlock code (if you have Huawei Id added) then unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and flashed oeminfo for C636.

But I guess they'll send you a new phone. I'm guessing the service center shorted/fried it.

Not even sure why they'd have to open it, it's just software.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Szilard666:
Well that was not the official service centre i sent them to. The guy said he will fix it for 20 dollars i said okay. Then he called me afternoon and told me he thinks it is the motherboard. Just by looking at it (not opening) cause it wouldn't charge and anything.So i said to them dont do anything I have g warranty i will send it to official service centre.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garythfla:
I have the newest Fire HD 8 and it has been very slow and laggy lately. When I do anything the screen will go black for about 10 seconds before the app starts running. Same thing happens when I try to stream video or scroll through the home screen, etc.

I have google play store installed and also terrarium, and IPVanish. Other than that, I have taken off everything else. when I use the speedtest app, i get the same black screen and it takes forever to start running although when it does, i get a fast connection with the vpn on or off.

i have tried looking around these forums and a few other places but cannot find anything that really seems to answer the question. i wish I could root this tablet but that does not appear to be an option.

any advice/help would be appreciated, at this point I am thinking of doing a factory reset or just buying a better tablet. thanks for the help.

Potential Solution

So I bought the 7th gen Fire HD 8 and it had problems right out of the box. I sent it back, got a new one and had the same problems. I somehow had the idea that the problem was my SD card. I had a Fire 7 previously and just popped it in. Once I pulled it, it immediately worked fine. For some reason I can't format it with he Fire 8, it won't let me. But I'm sure if I can or get a new SD card, then it will probably work fine. Give it a shot.

My Kindle Fire HD 8 is soooo Slow too...

Well, I loaded up my Fire HD too with Google Services et al and it lags terribly, tried deleting the cache as suggested but it only works for a little while (like less than a day), then it's back to so slow I want to throw it across the room! Any other ideas? It's the latest 2017 mod... I mean all I am trying to do is load up some information on the browser. I even tried Silk, no better. :(

I never tried it just vanilla out of the box - perhaps that what I should do - just go back to the original? I wanted something small and cheap to carry around that I could get email, and my calendar + contacts (but I need google services to do that because of a program I run to update my phone from desktop outlook and vice versa), and browse the web as necessary. Thanks.

While just a tiny bit slower/more laggy than my rooted HD 10, I have three HD 8s with the Play store + many other applications (Tasker, Google Voice/Hangouts, various video editors, graphic design programs, VNC/remote desktop programs, + many more) and these little tablets work very well. I've even edited 4K video on one of them and had no crashes or issues.

Have you tried disabling some of the Amazon system bloatware as described in this post? That helps a lot. Though not a high-end device, these little tablets are actually pretty solid and should give you solid performance. I've even read some tear-down reviews where people who know a lot more about this sort of thing than I do were surprised to find certain build-features and hardware components usually reserved for higher-end devices built into this device and they were surprised because Amazon could have not included these entities and could have made even more money.

Maybe flash the latest stock firmware, remove Amazon bloatware, start from scratch. Happy to help if I can in any way.

Good luck! I remembered one last thing that might make a difference...

It seems the HD 8 (2017) is sensitive/picky when it comes to SD cards. I originally used this Samsung EVO model of SD card with my HD 8 and experienced constant performance lag and horrible battery drain. After reading more about this issue via this Reddit post, I switched to a SanDisk SD card and now my device is much happier. Just another thing I thought of but had forgotten about that might be helpful to you.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasRedHead:
Yah know I saw a passing reference to that and I thought no way. Now that I see all the comments in the post I'm a believer. And now I'm upset with myself because I always get SANDISK, I don't remember why I got the the SAMSUNG EVO, I'm working on too many things at once, need to stick to one thing. Do you think it will matter if I get the 128gb SANDISK? I didn't think it would matter on the Samsung....:p

BTW when you mentioned to flash the stock firmware I found this: https://rootmygalaxy.net/restore-stock-firmware-on-amazon-fire-hd-8/

Under 'How To Restore Stock Firmware On Amazon Fire HD 8'

Does this seem reasonable or do you have a site you recommend? While I do have a technical background it's been a long while since I messed with this stuff. I thought for a long time about rooting my phone then I decided I didn't want to bother (getting lazy). Thanks!

This isn't xposed, so probably not. As long as your passing safetynet and enabled magisk hide for that and rebooted, in theory you should be fine. The next thing you can try is force closing the app and in Magisk manager, tapping "hide magisk manager" but that's only a temporary fix, some apps now check to see if magisk is installed at all. This will fix that

Still many banking apps detected root like BHIM.

And is there any way to hide custom ROM?

You can make a script to change the build information in the rom to release-keys instead of test-keys, some apps detect that. Also make sure you tick your banking app in Magisk hide settings. I believe there is a module so ewhere on the forum to do this, I will link it if I see it. Also you can try universal safetynet bypass module :)
