[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] randy_c:
I plan to backup my phone with smart switch to reset the phone and restore from backup but someone mentioned that I shouldn't do the restore from back up because bugs and problems will be restore from the back up.

Is this correct?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
Nonsense. You are just returning your DATA and apps. It doesn't matter if you install from google play or from APK (backup). Yes, you will get more data, some may be redundant, but I don't think you will encounter bugs. Maybe in single applications, but that is extremely rare, and you would have noticed if you have any bugs NOW (before backup) :)

hi,

i would like to know is it possible to have two instances of rltoday plugin in the today plugin options? how can i duplicate it?

i would to like to use one rltoday plugin for one tab of ultimate launcher and another rltoday plugin for another tab in ultimate launcher. so that i can put different objects on the different tab.

if not, is there any other today plugin that would allow icon/image (link) to be in any size (very large) and in any position by determining its x and y values

thanks for the help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] netzcoyote:
Have you by any chance asked that on the rltoday forum?

That would indeed be perfect for UL.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunkymonkey:
You MAY find renaming the dll and then renaming the 'new' today item in the registry in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Itemsand then repointing the path to the newly-renamed dll.

I just did this with Effcom's redio toggler to test it. Don't have or use rltoday. Now there are 2 togglers on Today on my hermes and both function. Today items that don't just have the 1 DLL would be more complicated - dunno where rltopay fits into that.

Glad you asked because now I know it can be done. Could be useful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] netzcoyote:
rltoday does seem to have oly 1 dll.

At least that's what I find in it's installation folder.

However, wouldn't I have to rename it before installing the .cab?

How would I fo that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amanakbar:
trying to come up with something different from the normal small or squared button/icons

this is what i have come up with so far... still not quite done

it doesn't show everything on the screen... but with a swipe of a finger, you can change to a different page view showing different items (thanks to ultimate launcher)

i also removed the top bar and bottom bar, plus replacing the need to press the ok/close (x) button by using center button of the (trackpad?) just like the iphone - one button and your back to the homescreen (in this case the today screen) using AEbutton plus

considering to use something like the vistahide battery gauge to show signal strength

tell me what you think
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blablum:
I was trying to do this a while back and indeed changing the dll name and registry values allowed me to have two instances of rltoday in the today screen. The problem was both rltoday were reading from the same ini file that sets up the skin, so basically I would have two copies of the same skin. If I changed one, so did the other. Unfortunatelly I could get around that at the time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amanakbar:
the question still stand

i would like to know is it possible to have two instances of rltoday plugin in the today plugin options? how can i duplicate it?

i would to like to use one rltoday plugin for one tab of ultimate launcher and

another rltoday plugin for another tab in ultimate launcher. so that i can put different objects on the different tab.

if not, is there any other today plugin that would allow icon/image (link) to be in any size (very large) and in any position by determining its x and y values
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
I think you could achieve the effect you want by using BatteryStatus. It doesn't allow to position images by directly giving their xy coordinates, but instead places them in multiple rows. But you still have the ability to shift images up/down/sideways, so they don't have to be aligned.

As a bonus you'll be able to display signal strength, battery and memory state, and a few more things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] irus:
i would like to add the sms,call,mail sticky note to my today screen can you tell me how you did it. thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amanakbar:
i'm using rltoday and my own skin... its everything u see in the first picture... if you just want the sticky note then you have to edit the xml for the skin

Buy a different phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
Android intentionally keeps apps in memory for faster opening so less free ram isn't exactly a bad thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
Exactly. I tried disabling/uninstalling stuff (and pretty much!) from my Android phones so many times and NEVER saw any performance improvement. It is all imho placebo effect. Every custom ROM MUST be slower than stock, if for nothing else, because it is deodexed. The thing is that people flash new ROM on empty phone and go woooow, how fast... yea, wait a couple of months :) S8+ is fast enough, and keeping more free RAM will only decrease performance, because as mjones73 stated, it keeps apps in RAM in order to run them faster. Better battery? Probably by disabling or not installing some stuff that runs in the background, but better yet - get a power bank or just... charge! The wall outlets are everywhere. I don't get this tuff with more battery. Just plug it in and charge. New batteries can be charged as soon as they fall below ~ 80%.... and it won't affect battery life etc.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JimiGEE:
I looked around to see if any other thread was made about this and I could not find one. So I apologize if this as been asked before. But - does anybody else having issues when your phone rings, the display does not light up? It remains black? The only way to see who is calling is either press the power button or use the Pixel Print sensor.

This is the only time I have an issue with display. The proximity sensor is not the problem, the phone is not in a case - and I turned auto lock time up to 5 minutes to make sure its not a lock screen issue. Can't find anything in the settings that would turn display off on an incoming call.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] davidstjohn1:
Same here got it starting last week. I think it's the phone apk
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kerrglen:
I have discovered the same issue, but it only occurs when my phone is connected to a Bluetooth device. If I disconnect the Bluetooth device the screen comes on for an incoming call. Must be a new feature they have added.

I removed the latest phone APK and the issue went away. Updating to latest APK again, v15.0.179075669, the issue comes back.

I contacted Google support and they offered to replace my phone. A bit excessive I think as to me it looks like a software bug.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bradb21:
My wife's Pixel 2 started doing the same thing. She complained to me about a week ago. I'm glad I found this thread, so it seems to be a software bug.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] scobar17:
How do you remove the latest phone APK? I'm having this exact issue - tried troubleshooting with Google and they wanted me to do a reset of my phone, which (a) I don't think will help, and (b) I don't want to reset everything! This is an annoying "feature" - there should absolutely be a way to override this default, if this is indeed the intended functionality.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] davidstjohn1:
You go to settings and then you go to your apps then you go to phone and then after you click into your phone on a top right corner is three dots you click on that and select uninstall updates... That's how I fixed mine until they put out an APK for the phone app that actually works right.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] scythe944:
Yesterday it was a call from a local store that was calling me to let me know that my order was in. This morning, it was my daughter's school's automated system calling about school delays. Both of which required me to turn on my display to see who was calling.

I've just placed a feedback comment from within the phone app so google can take a look into it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I discovered this while connected to my car bluetooth as well. However, there was another time when only the ambient display showed a small phone icon and the name of the caller with the words "incoming call" next to it. The rest of the phone did not light up.

It sucks because the caller ID does not transmit to the car's screen, so I'm answering blindly.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
It's the same for me. I have to press the power button to see whose calling me. I thought it was just me. Glad to see I'm not the only one!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] neshkoda:

I had the same issue, and after googling around I found only one solution - factory reset. I did it and it works.

But after that playing with the settings I found where was the problem and You can fix the problem without Factory reset.

Go to Settings - Apps & notifications - App info - Phone - App notification and there you should enable Incoming calls.

Under the Incoming call should appear the text *Make sound and pop on screen*. If *No sound* appears, then click and hold on *Incoming calls,* then click on I*mportance* and finally click on *Urgent*.

Having the same problem here too. It's especially maddening when I'm riding my motorcycle with the phone connected to BT headset. There are very few people that I want to answer the phone when I am riding and with the phone in it's mount I can't easily hit the power button with gloves on to see who is calling.

Hopefully it gets addressed soon. In the mean time there a link to an existing complaint thread that I can add my voice too?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnDragonMan:
yeah, i am pretty much in the same boat. im after a fast, stable rom that has none of the "samsung" bubbly looks and sound like tenancies that every custom rom seems to include. i much prefer the look of a sony or older HTC GUI.

i actually really dislike samsung, every product be it a phone to TV to dish washer to a computer monitor.. it all seems to be prone to many faults. still a free phone is a free phone. plus removable battery which pretty much no modern phone seems to have.

I bricked my device (A2017U). Just stock recovery. I need stock rom for adb. tried B19 from zteusa support but i get

"cannot read update.zip" error.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Adb always gets out of memory or fails for some other reason. Use an SD card, that's the only reliable way. If you can't then try to flash TWRP and use a flashable package
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
How can i flash TWRP with stock recovery? no EDL, just stock recovery.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
No EDL? What happened?

Just doing 'adb reboot edl' from the stock recovery should take you to edl...

Don't you have an SD card at hand?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
Yes, no EDL. ADB is not working on stock recovery.

No SD Card.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Put the zip you want to sideload on the folder where ADB is located. let's say that folder is C:/adb to make it simpler.

Open CMD with admin privileges

issue "cd.." as many times as you need to until you get to 'C:/' Usually it's 2 times.

"cd adb"

"adb sideload" then write the first 2 or 3 letters of the zip, and hit Tab. If the name appears then the zip is in the right place

If adb crashes, google for this error. There is a program somewhere that claims to allow adb to use more than the maximum RAM it has by default (i think it's 1 gb).

Or get an SD card lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
I tried what you mentioned before but did not worked. I'm not sure stock recovery supports external sd card to install update zips. It supports just internal as i know
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Lol you simply can't access the internal storage on the stock recovery. It's external SD only. Don't question this, you have no idea how many times I had to get an SD just to get out of a no-system situation

Plus, why do you say you have no EDL? what happens when you turn the phone off and hold vol up and down, and insert the USB cable (connected to the PC on the other end)?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] 2CanSan:
You could use DrakenFX b32 package if you can flash TWRP - no?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
ofc
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
DFU.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
DFU with stock recovery working? That's really weird.

If somehow you can get adb to work you can use 'adb reboot edl' and you'll get into EDL mode even if you have a DFU brick.

The only way that I could get adb to actually load a zip file was by putting it in the same folder as adb.exe. For example if you used the 15 secs adb installer just put the zip on C:/adb, then use 'cd..' twice and 'cd adb' to get to the adb folder and run sideload from there

The problem is that adb will probably run out of memory
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lllGurulll:
I'm trying to apply the stock firmware B32 but the API keeps saying "Sorry, you can't sdcard upgrade" Whats the point of the instructions on their website if you can't do it? Going to try and do and adb sideload. Hope it works.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] -Duir-:
If "C:\adb" is the destination you can simply put "cd \adb" no matter what folder the command prompt starts in.

If you read the instructions on the same site you got the update.zip you'd see it explicitly states an SD card multiple times, not internal storage.

It's also worth mentioning there is/was an issue with how the SD card is formatted. The SD card will need to formatted FAT32 to be read. The stock recovery won't read exFAT. At least I seem to remember that being an issue the last time I had to flash a ROM package that way.

It's not a flagship nor does it pretend to have high performance for gaming but still, it get the job done. Most of the time, apps are launching quickly without lag, you may get a small delay with bulkier app but it's not that bad. I once played with an iPhone 8 and it appeared to have the same kind of delay when launching bulkier app. Our Galaxy A8 is doing good compared to an iPhone! Most importantly, build quality is great.
