Hello guys! I'm starting on this translation stuff and i really need some help to start translating a Telltale game. I'm trying to translate The Walking Dead (Android version obviously) for Portuguese, but i couldn't find anywhere a method to do it.

Using APK Editor, i can only translate some parts of the menu, nothing related to the game. I think the text files are in the .obb file, but how could i acess it? (Already tried to rename the .obb to .zip and extract it but doesn't work, as i expected...)

I have the complete version of the game. There are the main APK (ofc) and two .obb files (a 1.13GB file and another with 9.14MB), i couldn't find anything else. Can someone give me a help about how can i find and access these text lines, please?

[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
Very scarce info everywhere, but quite a few people already use this $80 super-powerful watch including me (which is basically a micro-smartphone).

Many video reviews already.

I personally think that such powerful watch (much more powerful than my cheap 2016 tablet on previous Mediatek chip with less RAM) is a such small smartphone with illusion like it’s watch made by very modified version of Circle launcher with edited Android 6. I don’t see any limitations on this watch to run full stock Android OS here from the M6737M series smartphones, if ported. Even now all full-featured apps from Google store made for smartphones are perfectly runs here, including very big navigation apps and even the full “battery saver” function present from smartphones (first one which I see on Android watch ever). The only limitation which I noticed is very small display (specific apps cannot fit) and badly edited Android OS (like completely deleted status bar from OS, any 3rd-party status bar apps are installing fine but crashing on settings). Most 3rd-party launchers from Google store and open sources are installing here (only with few exceptions) - the most stable one I’ve found is open source “Essential Launcher” ver. 1.3.

My feeling from “lift wrist turn on” function with “swipe pages” makes almost iPhone X experience here, no any buttons needed, very stable power on only by view and swiping windows (including closing them by swiping to the right) makes very good feedback to the user.

Everything spoiled only by edited OS - awful work with fonts, too many illogical Menu lists, deleted functions like not present “Storage” in OS settings(only shortcut to file explorer) - the USB storage media not adding because of edits on OS level, considering normal micro-USB & even if you turn on “usb media” in developer settings.

Very few watch-faces with no way to install any others, it’s obviously fake feature to make you feel and use them as watch.

So, what I think many would be glad to see here - the root is the most important goal for now(developer menu allows bootloader unlock-not sure if it’s true because USB media settings there not works), maybe putting the normal Android is the next goal.

The root is very needed to firewall for very shady apps here, it’s very powerful device so it have full smartphone spyware, like notorious MTK Logger & Thermal Manager, which can work at sleep mode (it is almost suspicious that they broke USB media function so user can’t bypass network connection for installs). Root needed to work with display resolution and etc.

Edit: the processor by Aida app recognized as MT6737M but on Aliexpress you can find watch easily by search term processor "MTK6737M" (only like 7 sellers total).
[Other SmartWatches] mistamixx:
I have the H5 as well, and you're correct! The main draw back is the stripped down OS, for example the call forwarding features are missing..

Ordered one of these a few weeks ago, should be getting delivery soon. Interesting to see how it performs, my last android watches have been mt6572 & mt6580, both of these I ported full Android versions to, I may give it a go at porting a full Android version to this in the future:)

[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
I use mine at least 2 weeks maybe. Without root (which I plan to do but don't have time right now) I do not connect them to any Internet, so I'm using them as just watch (it's my first smartwatch). Files I'm sending through bluetooth from my Android phone, quite neat that you can install apps from bluetooth menu right away.

About battery - very good, if you don't connect them to networks at all, with battery Saver on & "wrist move activation" off they can work whole week on 1 charge (this includes some extensive using in 2 days on winter street with GPS apps, camera-video, constant time checking and etc.). They CAN HOLD MORE days, after the full charge, watch calculated the battery to the 15 days of work - which is believable, as I see now if you will check only time manually they can easily save 1 charge to 12-13 days. I use charger with them only once at week, it's quite shocking to read Apple Watch forums where people making that every 2-3 days.

They're quite powerful - making the zip archive internally from 250Mb photos/videos takes something like 2 minutes.

Because the step-counter here work always (even if you take them to the other room) - this device is just made for the SmartNavi (open source navigation app which use mainly step-counter with rare or no GPS connection for battery saving).
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
Can't wait for a custom recovery to be made for it, so I can root it. Tried all the rooting apps out on the web and none work so far.
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
Well I have managed to get Root access, using Magisk, and flashing patched boot image, struggling to create a TWRP recovery. Hoping someone out there can come up with a custom recovery.
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
Managed to port TWRP to it, but it is in miniature! going to have a play around with it to see if I can make it usable. Anyone with suggestions be grateful - well gave up on trying to amend TWRP resolution, and installed flashify - just flashed an AOSP ROM to the H5, happy days!
[Other SmartWatches] Wizard2004:
Well done stevea76

A step by step or point in the right directions kinda 'guide' would be really appreciated, cos the H5 with its stock funos is far from fun... sure its usable but no fun.
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
I will put something together at the weekend, by then I should have something usable, don't want people breaking their new toys!
[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
It would be interesting to find if there's any "recovery mode" on stock ROM image at all, considering that there's only 1 button. On similar watches from Samsung and etc they have quite awkward way to enter recovery - like some swipe to the left in time of logo showing and etc. I tried to repeat any swiping during boot - nothing...

Also, by the usual use of watch (almost a month now) I can say that in my case of use the battery holding 1 full charge for 7 days, so a week, the same amount calculated by OS also. That's the battery regime or mode which is now constant in my case (it can be different in situation of other people).
[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
The battery here can be saved even more for a week - I managed to notice that "sleep stat" function are working here at all times and cannot be turned off like step counter in this Android OS, at the night time it randomly turning on the pulse checker light even if you not wearing them, which using the battery (not a big deal, but using some).
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
Here is the link to the AOSP ROM I ported to the H5.

I must express it is a long winded way to flash it as I am not technically minded, just playing at it, and only do this if you have the stock ROM downloaded as a backup to revert back to and don't mind the possibility of wrecking your toy!, the only reason for me doing it this way is that the recovery TWRP I ported is functional, but not set for the screen size for the H5 so unless you have bionic eyes it is nearly impossible to use, hence the reason for my 'workaround' (note: If anyone can make the TWRP scaled for the watch, just flash the ROM in the usual way)

Here is a 'sort of' guide and link to files.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=252561

1. Flash

Microwear_Magisk_Patched_Boot_IMG using splash tool, reboot device.

2. Install Magisk Manager from here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/page4

Open Magisk manager and go to settings, set default action to 'Grant'

You now have root.

3. Flash

Microwear_H5_Recovery_TWRP using spflashtool.

4. Install

Flashify (for root users) from the Playstore.

5. Download directly to the watch (or to Computer and transfer to the watch) Microwear_H5_AOSP ROM AND the GAPPS of your choice (Open Gapps arm64 nano was my choice)

6. Use Flashify to install zip(s) making sure you click TWRP as recovery option and also tick the wipe cache, data etc (add the Gapps as well if you want Google)

Click Reboot on flashify.

Hopefully the watch boots to recovery and installs the ROM and gapps!

First boot sticks on boot animation, so if not starting after 3 or 4 minutes power off the watch and reboot, after another 5 to 10 minutes you should see 'android is starting'

Nav Bar is by default on permanently, to make this and notification bar 'hide' (fully Immersive) I used this method.

1. install on pc ADB (Guide below)

[youtube]Fp-D1Mg0HWg[/youtube]

2. Enable developer options and USB debugging on watch.

3. connect watch (switched on)

4. Open ADB on pc.

5. Type: adb devices (click enter)

(should see you device is connected)

6. Then type: adb shell - (click enter)

7. Then type this line:

settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

Now the navigation bar will pop up when you pull down or up slightly on the screen and will auto hide after a couple of seconds.

As for sensors I don't think any are working.

I have included 3 launchers on this ROM, so make your choice!

Please, please, please DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS if you don't know how to revert back to stock rom. I bear no responsibility for broken toys! :)
[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
Guys, who already have a scatter file for this watch, i really want to make a backup of current ROM before checking for any new updates (which is quite good version from January and there's nowhere on Internet any firmware files for this watch, so saving and sharing ROM is important). If i manage to download ROM i will post it on Google drive.

I wanted to force watch go into it's own recovery but my ADB installation don't see this watch connected - there's a primitive subsystem on watch beside Android OS, it can be seen when you turn Android OS "power off" and connect USB for charging - it will show the battery, i'm puzzled how to enter into any settings of that subsystem.
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
The stock firmware is on the Microwear Website.

http://m.microweartech.com/en/MicrowearFirmware.html
[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
Yeah, i noticed only now, strangely but i remember that a month ago there was nothing about H5 model on their site when i searched…maybe because they just released it.

Also the firmware have the same scatter file - the first one which i found myself for some cheap smartphone on 6737 chip, as i remember i found it on reddit.

As i seen no updates of firmware for now.
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
No updates as yet. I have ported an AOSP version, pretty much stock Android to the H5, it is basic, but I like the 'stock experience' on a square watch. Not got the sensors set up, but not really bothered about how many steps I have done on any given day or my heart rate for that matter.

Also if you want fancy clockskins then Eric's launcher works just fine on it.:)
[Other SmartWatches] crustier:
As i understand correctly - here they simulated or just copied clock skins from Apple watch?

Where to find Eric launcher?

For everyone else i will write again link to the firmware from Microwear site here – https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WaktAl-cjCTE1l0jffA7BnevzESdlCwc?usp=sharing

because chinese support is very short in time and can vanish with website very easily (for example to find an older firmwares to my Onyx Boox ereader i used "webarchive" service, thanks gods we have it - only from this saved archived copies of pages i found the sharing links to the older firmwares, still i cannot find the first version of RemixOS release for KitKat-if anyone have the alpha - please message me)

Hey there!

So I have my old but trusty Asus TF201 still laying around, mostly unused. I kinda want to revive it as a portable Linux "laptop" but all the guides I've seen so far are either somewhat unfinished or don't give me a lot of confidence that they'll work. Or they're just outdated as hell...

Currently I have KatKiss running on it, latest version. But it's still laggy and really not a pleasure to use at all, the main reason why it's laying around so far.

So, any ideas? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tigerpro357:
I have one as well, I had put Ubuntu on it awhile back (Ubuntu was only distro with GUI) it worked overall, but was still slow cause the kernel wasn't optimized for the hardware it was running on. Those guides, while outdated, will still work. I'm currently working on porting Halium to my note 4, after that I am going to look into getting Halium on the tf201 and a distro of Ubuntu (dunno for certain though)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] superpascu:
Hi there,

Regarding S7, I have downloaded the OTA file to upgrade but finally I prefer not to do It.

The thing is that I have a notification of software update stuck on the notification bar and I want to remove It. Also I want to remove the downloaded file.

I have heard that a way to do It is going to recovery Mode and wipe cache. This would delete the file so if I accept the update nothing Will happen and the notification Will desapear.

What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Wipe cache in recovery, then tell it to install the update when you get back into Android, it will fail because the file is not there

You will still get more notifications as it downloads them again though

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alediaferia:
Hi guys,

it's been a few weeks that I'm struggling to understand why I'm not getting software updates.

My phone is stock, never rooted nor flashed. It's been with this software since when I bought it.

My CSC is VDI and I was noticing that potentially the modem version on my phone (CP) is wrong.

Here's my details:

AP: G930FXXU1DQEI

CSC: G930FVFG1DQE3

CP: G930FXXU1BPJJ

Model: SM-G930F

I was trying to figure out why I'm not getting updates and from what I can see here: http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/VDI/SM-G930F/version.xml I should have a different CP version in order to get the update (G930FXXU1DQD7) which also seems in line with what this firmware page has: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__S7__/n494/VDI/G930FXXU1DQEI/G930FVFG1DQE3/

Now, a couple of questions.

- Any idea of the why? Could it be just a mistake in the production of the device?

- Is my hypothesis correct that I'm not receiving updates because of this?

- Would it be safe to only flash the CP part with ODIN and let the device receive the OTA normally?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I've not heard of a modem stopping updates, but it's not an area I'm fully familiar with.

Flashing modems with Odin is probably the most harmless flash you can do as long as it's for the same android version (e.g. don't flash a nougat modem on a marshmallow device)

You could also try flashing the latest home_csc, and bootloader (BL) if you really wanted to. Both of those are pretty trivial to flash too. If you do flash csc just make sure it's home_csc, and regular csc wipes your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alediaferia:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

I ended up flashing CP only for the firmware I was at and I straight away got the update notification and the subsequent security patches up to December 2017 ( was stuck at may ). I'm at the latest firmware for my CSC now.

[Galaxy S 5 General] tooplanx:
Hi everyone,

I thought I'd post this as since I've had my S5 (within last 6 months) I have been quite disappointed by the quality of the camera images, particularly in mid to low light. Having had a Xperia Z2, LG G3 and G2 I had seen that the S5 was meant to have by far the best camera out of its peers. Unfortunately, while not as anywhere near as bad as the Z2, the S5 is significantly worse than both the G3 and the G2, mainly due to the awful noise reduction implemented by the Samsung firmware. The Z2 also had this problem in spades, and the only way to remove it was to unlock the bootloader and erase the DRM keys.

I though that this was the same on the S5 (or even completely impossible), but have recently discovered a camera app called 'Snap Camera HDR' in the Play Store. There is a free version and a paid version.

The app is the most fully featured camera app I have seen (I have used Open Camera, Camera FV-5 and many others), with tonnes of options and manual controls.

They key thing though is that it allows you to disable the built in noise-reduction: Go through the menu and select, then deselect the option 'Denoise'

There are also options to select 'Samsung Camera Mode' which enables real-time HDR (you have to select 'Use OpenGLES 2.0' under 'Other'), and you can also increase image sharpness and

change compression levels.

I've done some real world tests and I think the difference is huge. I'd rather have a little bit of noise and keep a sharper, more detailed, more natural image.

Here are some comparisons (I've cropped them down so you can see the detail more easily):

(P.S.: I have absolutely nothing to do with the Snap Camera developers)
[Galaxy S 5 General] koragg97:
Hm, nice find. I'm not sure if I'd need it thought since I'm on the Note 7's camera app. Any idea if the Note's camera app has this problem or not? I'm no picture taking guy so i can't tell by myself. I've barely used my camera during the past 3 years.

PS: The S5's camera was never good in low light, its strength was only during the day ;)
