Youtube vanced doesn't have support for forcing AV1/VP9 sw decoding.

I think Dav1d decoders are the best. App should be provided with AV1& VP9 sw decding support using these codecs (to be packed with APK itself) so that even old devices leverage these codecs and save on data.

Why does my vanced micro g always quit?. I can't log in and it says check Network connection. Then I have to uninstall it and reinstall micro g. Why does it do that?
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
maybe a microg bug? or is being killed by anything controlling the battery, try turning off battery optimization and background restriction...

Are vanced manager and vanced microG needed? Can I uninstall them except for youtube vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] Milind Goel:
Vanced manager is only for the installation of vanced apps. You can uninstall them if you want to but you will have to install them back whenever any update arrives.

Vanced microG on the other hand is needed for youtube vanced to work. Without this, the app will start to crash and no longer work. And moreover, you won't be able to log in as well so if you had your account added, it will get removed with uninstallation of vanced microG. Just like how google services is for youtube, vanced microG is google services for vanced non-root apps.

Dear developers, ​

​

I have a big issue with the Vanced app. I am not able anymore to select a word or text with the S-Pen of my Samsung phone, why did you disable this feature??? ​

​

Can you please fix this issue? ​
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Dear memo951

No need to raise your voice like that. You can bring such questions in a normal manner. But as far as your issue goes: #BlameGoogle and/or #BlameSamsung

Or at least provide logs 😒

There are problems in the latest version: the automatic screen filling works well, when it is set to automatic work, when rebooting, the screen returns to a minimized mode and not in full screen (although it is still set to automatic work), this problem was not present in the previous version
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
Only problem i got is that video resolution it's always low when i start a video even if video quality is set to high in options...
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
I have the exact opposite issue. At the beginning of play it starts with a higher resolution than i have specified in settings.

It does revert eventually after a few seconds to specified resolution.
[Android Apps and Games] Deanro:
The vanced dev should allow one to choose the res option within the video itself and have it kept there as default.

found a bug in latest version, I can basically spam the dislike button a bunch of times, and it seems to tick up. I can span the dislike button a thousand times and see a thousand dislikes.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Whew! I'm sure content creators fear you now 😬 I don't get that on my end (17.03.38) though, works as expected. It's showing a number (like "Titanic with a Cat" by OwlKitty has 2K dislikes for reasons beyond me, those videos are AMAZING!) and when I tap it, it just adds one dislike. Tapping it again removes the dislike. Interesting bug... Great for creating fun screenshots, so let's call it a feature!

Spoiler content hidden.

Edit: Hadn't really checked it out yet (I rarely (dis)like videos anyway) but dug a bit deeper now. It's still in alpha so I guess some bugs are to be expected (grab a log?). The Return YouTube Dislike project is quite ambitious as it relies on legacy data combined with community input. Great to see it in Vanced!

I use a workaround. Takes an extra click but gets the job done.

[Android Apps and Games] bigyihsuan:
Continuing my saga with trying to figure out this Vanced/SponsorBlock bug.

Versions:

OnePlus 7 (GM1700)

Android 10 (Oxygen OS 10.3.8.GM57AA), rooted

Vanced 17.03.38 - Build 01.55.00

SponsorBlock enabled

I've determined that this bug happens when a video has a SponsorBlock segment to be skipped that ends at the end of a video, while playing in a playlist on. In general, SponsorBlock/Vanced does the following:

Playback reaches the end-of-video segment.

SponsorBlock skips the segment, putting playback at the end of the video.

Since the playback is at the end of the video, the playlist advances to the next video.

However, playback moves to the time of the end of the current video in the next video, i.e. if the current video's end is 2:34 and the next video is 10:23 long, playback in the next video begins at 2:34.

If the next video is shorter than the current video, it stops playback and auto-advance and brings up the "end of video" screen.

To reproduce:

Find two videos, one with a SponsorBlock segment at the end of it.

Put both videos into a playlist.

Let the video with the segment finish and skip the segment.

See as playback in the next video start at where the first video should have ended.

Here are two videos of this bug in action, both for the 'long to short' and 'short to long' cases.

Long to short

Short to long

I've reported this bug on the Vanced Github issue tracker here: https://github.com/YTVanced/Vanced/issues/1726
[Android Apps and Games] deloj:
Did you find a solution yet or know why the bug exists on the real tip?
[Android Apps and Games] deloj:
will look into it
[Android Apps and Games] bigyihsuan:
No to both. The only workaround I've found is to turn off automatic skipping (!!!), but otherwise nothing. Better still is that this doesn't happen to the SponsorBlock extension in Google Chrome, which makes me think it's Vance's implementation.

And better reboot after uninstalling, ie before (re)installing a diff version

Michal
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
you have to test each of them separately

take out the mainboard from the old chasis (frame) to test on the new lcd you bought (carefully unplug all the connectors)

then, connect the lcd and digitizer connectors to the mainboard, connect the battery too, and of course the power flex cable should be connected.. power on the phone, and see if the display lit up, then if the touchscreen works... and do the same with the second one you have and i hope you will have a working one al least

watch this video tutorial to avoid any damage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrOQoOSbldU&t=1s

and BTW, never buy these type of parts from aliexpress! would've been better from ebay or amazon because you'll be covered with warranty in case the part you buy is defected, and for that, you'll get a full refund or ebay will refund you if the seller won't

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy J1 Questions & Answers] zogthegreat:
Hi everyone!

I was trying to get around the "Blocked by FRP Lock" on my daughters Samsung J1, (sm-j120w). Nothing was working and I came across a link for BoxWares Factory Binary.

https://translate.google.com/transl...-8&u=https://boxwares.com/&edit-text=&act=url

https://shell.boxwares.com/default.aspx?DeviceModel=SM-J120W&Type=All#fh5co-table

I was able to flash their bootloader on to the J1, but now the phone is stuck on the Factory Binary and won't boot.

[IMG="boxwares bootloader"]http://ohsmeg.com/bill/phone/FRP_1.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="boxwares bootloader"]http://ohsmeg.com/bill/phone/FRP_2.jpg[/IMG]

I have tried contacting the developer about how to proceed, or at least how to remove their bootloader, but they have not responded. I can boot into recovery, but fastboot doesn't see the phone. I can boot into download, but the same problem, adb and fastboot don't see the phone. When I try to use Odin to flash twrp, I get the "Blocked by FRP Lock" error.

I have also tried doing a factory reset and wiping the cache from recovery with no luck.

I can access the phone via adb shell when the phone is in the BoxWares Binary:

zog@E6540 ~ $ adb devices

List of devices attached

4200ceefc8beb371 device

although "su" seem to be unavailable, I'm not sure if this is because the phone is unlocked or what, it gives the following:

zog [MENTION=3958528]e65[/MENTION]40 ~ $ adb shell

shell@j1xltecan:/ $ su

/system/bin/sh: su: not found

127|shell@j1xltecan:/ $

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this bootloader off of the phone and boot it normally?

Thanks

[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] Goose03:
If your seeing a no command message, that is stock recovery not twrp. Are you flashing twrp with

fastboot flash recovery (name_of_recovery).img

If your flashing it right, when you boot to twrp you need to allow twrp to modify the system and reboot once to keep the system from overwriting twrp with the stock recovery.

Hey Everyone

I'm really trying to move away from iPhone and Filmic Pro, but at the same time I'm really struggling to find a handset that'll either run Filmic Pro or allow me to lock exposure in it's stock camera app. I've recently bought S8 and I've noticed that I can only lock exposure (tap and hold finger in one place) while taking photos but I can't do the same in videos. What's worse 3rd party apps are limited to 1080p@30fps so I'm stuck with stock camera app for 4K. Is it even possible to lock exposure while recording video on S8/S8+ ?

I have also had the "slow charging" message with the standard charger and cable. I wouldn't worry too much about this, as long as your phone is charging reasonably quickly (in fact, I often charge my phone *really* slowly using my PC USB port whilst I am at work).

I bought a new charger to keep at home with spare cables, too. They charge very rapidly (50% in 30 minutes or so) and I would definitely recommend them:
