He guys,

This is in relation to the other thread I just posted, mods can go ahead and delete that one, but anyhow I'm not getting any cell signal when I follow the steps listed here:

https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/stock-firmware-npn25-137-67-5-fastboot-t3694738

I'm trying different versions of the stock firmware but have no luck on getting signal. My phone is an XT1687

Everything else seems to be working properly: sound, bluetooth, and my APN is automatically detected.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

now i am in Pixel Experience without VoLte

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] pcm0609:
Probably already been said, but first, flash Pixel experience, then backup efs in recovery (just efs). Wipe system, cache, and data. Flash stock rom, then restore efs, and reboot.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
If you are on stock

make a nandroid backup(without efs)

wipe everything and flash an oreo rom

reboot into bootloader and type in command window:

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot reboot (now you have signal and LTE working)

reboot into recovery and wipe all again

restore your backup

reboot and you have signal with LTE working (no VoLTE)

Hey guys, anyone know of an app that doesn't the stock gestures? Particularly the drop down notifications menu.

I've tried with Finger Scanner Gestures but it broke the drop-down.

I'm looking to being able to lock the phone when long-pressing the fingerprint.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] PuCiNhOOO:
Its easier to reach the power button instead of the FP for long press ...

Weird options of yours ;)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] FOXHOUND-CIA:
Thing is I don't know how much it'll last. I've experienced deterioration in the past with the power button. Also idk, it seems more comfortable to do it with the fingerprint.

I'd also love to get other gestures to work tho :).

Why not remap one of the on screen buttons to lock screen function? It's a built in OOS feature and that way, you don't have to use the physical lock key button.

One of the more pleasant surprises I got when I bought this phone was how dark the screen could get for night tile viewing. With Night Mode and the lowest brightness, I could browse my phone first thing in the morning without dying.

Now, on Nougat, Night Mode just adds a yellowish tint - probably reducing blue light or whatever - and brightness doesn't seem to go as low now. Kinda blinded this morning...

Is there some way of fixing this?

i've tried both this script https://xdaforums.com/u/tasker-tips-tricks/guide-silent-mode-android-5-tasker-t3345309 or the tasker plugin "sound mode" but they both toggle do not disturb mode, not the vibration..

2. vibration on + volume on while on my pocket

Any help?

thanks so much!
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris@Honor_USA:
Hello again everyone,

Interesting conversation I want to have with users here; which Android skin do you like most and why?

Obviously AOSP != what Pixels run.

What if a future Honor device ran Android One/Go? Would that be enough to convince you buy one? What if Kirin hardware was still used even with Android One?

What do you like and not like about EMUI?

Really want to get your all's input and feedback.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
AOSP has always been my favorite, primarily because it adheres to Google's design standards, and theoretically allows OEMs to deliver faster updates overall.

Skins like EMUI deter from Material Design a fair bit, and it makes it fragments the experience in that sense. It looks too much like iOS, but honestly, I don't mind it too much, because the features it brings with it are actually useful rather than bloat (I'm not saying EMUI is exempt from bloat). Overall, it's a good stock experience, but not something I'd run.

AOSP is also very flexible with projects here on XDA, and it allows for the ease of development and synchrony.

The code is generally cleaner than the additional stuff that OEMs add, and there usually a performance benefit. Skins usually overdo it (I'm looking at you Amazon), and it detracts from what we come to expect from Android itself.

And finally, I'm not sure why, but devices that ship with AOSP-esque ROMs generally feel more premium. Probably because there is less useless garbage.

Those are just my quick thoughts. I hope Honor puts the feedback to use
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rohiggidy:
EMUI tries too much to be like ios. EMUI doesnt incorporate Googles material design. EMUI needs to follow Android design guidelines and features. The share menu looks and functuion like IOS why? We need a better lqauncher. the icons are ios inspired.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] obaidr:
Miui und EMUI feel like the interpretation of a 13 years old fan boy of how his phone should work and look like. While AOSP looks much more mature in total feel.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris@Honor_USA:
Just trying to understand users. Some like features from skins that AOSP doesnt offer.

Really appreciate what was stated. I too wish notifications on the lockscreen were improved. Hope to continue the trend to make improvements with EMUI and listen to our users
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] syl0n:
Please try a stable custom rom like Omni ROM and you will understand that most people here on XDA just want good developer support. AOSP doesn't have features but it is designed well and less in your face like EMUI. And those that are here on XDA probably root it and install a custom ROM that is based on AOSP with added features without the cartoon like UI that some custom skins like Samsung, Huawei, LG provide.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris@Honor_USA:
I've personally used custom ROMs through my android history of close to 2 dozen devices. AICP, DU, AOSPA, LOS, Slim, RR, etc etc. ;) been apart of the XDA community for close to 8 years.

I really want to support the dev community and have a passion for it. :good:
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
I have used every single OEM based distro since the beginning of android. I have to say that out of all of them Sense was the one I liked the best. Here are my reasons why.

1. They had their own style (original Sense versions) They didn't copy anyone else. This is a big deal really. I personally am not a fan of material design. It looks very childish and unprofessional.

2. Added features that didn't bog down the UI (Hey Samsung)

3. They didn't add useless features just because everyone else did.

Now these things have changed as of late and I wouldn't use the new HTC sense (was part of their beta group at one time. They didnt listen)

With people using things like custom launchers, icon packs, themes and wallpaper apps like KLWP the over all UI of the OS really doesnt matter as its almost never seen. I mean how many times does someone really go into settings outside the first time setup? The notification shade is the major thing of the underlying OS that people see the most.

Android Go is really pointless unless you plan on lowering the specs of the honor devices. They lose functionality which is pointless if the hardware good enough for the standard version.

As for the chip. Well really that will only matter if the team puts in the time to help developers with documentation for working with the chip. This is the reason for the support of qualcomm chips. They have gone out of their way over the years helping developers with documentation and apis for working with the chips. You provide this and it will help alot.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ben cherian:
I want to say Aosp will make you guys a Huge hit all around the globe. Especially if you bring Aosp over One flagship and one budget phone.

Personally i love emui. But market more oriented to Aosp
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamsabresh:
I'd take the Nokia approach to this matter. Since Huawei uses their AI mostly in the camera app, I'd love if there was an honor flagship running android one software and Huawei / honor camera app. Also, the background user data analysis for better battery and resource optimisations, claimed to be in EMUI 8 are being implemented in android P, so it's a win win for both the company and the customers
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
For those that are claiming aosp is the way to go atop and think about this. Samsung is the biggest Android oem and it is not because it get aosp. It's because of the features that touch Wiz offers that Google doesn't. Aosp really is bare bones enough that it can be compared to running Linux on a pc. It works but not as full featured or as well as something built for the hardware.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamsabresh:
Completely agree with you man, but Honor doesn't really have much hardware differentiation like Samsung has infinity displays and S pen. All other EMUI features like Knock gestures are barely used and features like app twin can be done using a third party app like parallel space. But the benefits that Android one like ROM offers, like smoother UI experience and enabling faster updates with little to no feature exclusions. So I beg to differ in my opinion that OEM skin (EMUI) offers any benefits over Aosp.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
But see android one is a watered down version of android really. To be honest honor software is over all crap. I'm not sure who they ha E writing the software but they should be demoted.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamsabresh:
I was just stating my opinion and I truly believe android one or stock android, for that matter, make a midrange phone, with lesser CPU power and RAM, perform equal to Honor / Huawei's 2017-18 flagship, the View 10 or the Mate 10 pro, running EMUI, and having better battery backup. I agree that EMUI is okayish to an extent because it is better than any other custom skins except Oxygen OS, but fragmenting the UI into region based firmware is a completely useless thing to do, considering that it slows down updates, takes more human resources to develop updates to separate regions and not to mention that they state regional feature prioritisation as the reason, but most of the basic features are common and they just add bloat like Paytm integration in Indian version and stuff like a separate Huawei app store on the international version, which is essentially useless because of all the stocks being updated either through the playstore or OTAs. Just My Opinion and I speak only for myself.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
It won't make it equal to a flagship, it will just make a mid range not suck as much.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamsabresh:
Exactly my point. But when you take a powerful midranger like a Nokia 7+ and compare it with an honor flagship running EMUI, say a View 10, I agree that the raw power of the CPU or the SoC would make the flagship open apps much quicker and load much faster, but since we are talking about UI experiences, we must touch the issues like memory management, resource allocation, battery optimisations, etc. I'd say based on my usage that once the apps are loaded onto memory on both phones, I find switching apps and multitasking a bit smoother on the stock android (android one) and with very comparable battery sizes (3800 vs 3750 mAh), the Nokia 7+ provides a bit more extended D battery life on heavy usage. Light to moderate usage yields very much the same battery life of around 7.5 - 8 hrs SoT, but think of what honor phones with flagship specs could achieve with android one or stock android. I'd say that at this point, with very comparable hardware on almost all flagships, UI makes a lot of difference and I think EMUI, though providing a lot of features and is almost as fast as android one, I'd say the extra features added only weigh it down in terms of raw performance.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] venreddy:
Pure Android is always better choice over other custom UIs. It is fast, smooth and lag free.

It is fine even if it doesn't have some customizations that other UIs offer.

EMUI memory management makes some apps does not work properly.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shervin007:
Problem wid skin like emui is, OEMs take longer to bring android updates. More the skin is close to stock android more easier it is to give timely updates.

Honor itself has pathetic record in rolling out updates, that's the thing i dislike about emui

[LG K7 Questions & Answers] ZaZoinks:
Hi all - I am new to this chat room. Question about sound on my K7. My screen cracked so I bought a replacement digitizer assembly. I took everything apart replaced the assembly, and everything works but the loudspeaker (can't hear ringer, which is a bummer). I took it to a repair guy and he said the loudspeaker cable was missing. Went home, I pulled it apart again and noticed that the "L" shaped gold band that is located next to the external speaker on my original assembly is missing on the replacement. I contacted the seller and they said that has nothing to do with the loudspeaker, but there's something probably wrong with the motherboard. I'm not sure if that's the same missing part the repair dude mentioned, but it's weird that the "L" shaped band is not included on the assembly AND my speaker doesn't work. Can someone confirm this for me? I'm thinking I might go home and put the old assembly back on with the current motherboard. If the sound works with the motherboard, then I'm assuming it's that missing part. I think the seller is full of s**t but then if I were a phone expert, I wouldn't be here asking questions. Any thoughts?
