Dorch - Dual Torch​

Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​

Background:

I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.

Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​

hello friends... currently i have a htc one m9 which i bought from another person. currently i m using viperone m9 4.3.0 marshmallow rom. current CID = 1111111 and MID=OPJA12000, i got this information from download-mode. ..( Baseband version =01.01_U11440792 ,and build number =3.35.401.12) . Unlocked+ S-OFF status. now , i m wanting to get back to full stock marshmallow.. so . i got "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_3.39.531.41.zip" for my device to flash it through manualy from download mode..is it ok for my device model? and ,can i fully unlock the bootloader and install TWRP on that version? thanks in advance ...
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
No. You must find one that matches the 401 sku. Find the firmware ruu 3.35.401.12 as a zip file (not exe).

You also need to change the cid before you flash to htc_001. The mid might need to be changed too but I can't remember what it is.. Too stoned.. '0PJA10000'..?

Do not s-on. Do not lock/relock the bootloader.

Once stock you can take the ota updates to nougat and reroot etc..

Does anyone know a website to either watch or listen to the ncaa mens basketbal tournament that is coming up that broadcasts on tv or radio? Thanks in advance
[Off-topic] scpieps:
You can watch it on www.ncaa.com for free. If you want to watch from your Android device, youll need to do the following:

Try downloading and installing the leaked FlashPlayer 10.2 from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DLOVW630, then go to www.ncaa.com. You can stream videos from there, but make sure you have a high-speed connection (wifi or strong 3G or 4G).
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] billgs:
Since the battery situation has reached a point of no return (under 1.5 hours of SOT, random restarts and bootloops under 50%) and since I won't have the opportunity to get a new device for the next year, I would really appreciate it if someone could share his/her experience with battery replacement via the official HTC service.

I can send my device to either UK or DE service points, so any specific experience with those would be ideal. Furthermore, I would really love to know if someone had any issues with sending their devices with an unlocked bootloader, or received them damaged or scratched, as this is the reason why I am still reluctant of sending my device (I have read some horror stories of devices returning scratched or with damaged screens).

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I would much appreciate the same info except that I'm in the US. Same exact battery difficulties. I've already bought a new device but I would love to keep this one operational as a backup if the battery can be replaced without ruining the device. All the DIY videos I've watched look like a nightmare.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jerry855202:
Not in EU/US, so my experience might be different from yours (YMMV disclaimer)

Got my 10 in for battery replacement (last week of warranty left), and just got it back.

Don't try to replace the battery yourself, to be honest.

I send my phone in for only a battery exchange, and it came back with a new battery, and a new screen.

It's very likely to damage the ribbon cable while putting the phone back.

What I see from some other forums is, basically if you've had software mod, they won't warrant mainboard damage.

Haven't heard anyone had a damaged phone back from official repair though.

It costs around $40-50 for a battery exchange out of warranty IIRC.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bacon612:
Who did the battery replacement? In the US HTC won't replace the battery anymore. I contacted them last week and was told they no longer do it. I'm looking into third party solutions now.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jerry855202:
Official HTC repairment center in Taiwan. However in my case my phone is still barely in warranty (a week or less). They covered all cost within warranty. Heard an out of warranty battery exchange is around $40-50.

Also, it seems that they also repair foreign htc phones, although at a additional cost of $35, plus whatever the replacement part costs.

If you're really desperate about your battery and don't want to risk it, maybe pay extra? Just sayin' , and not endorsing anything.

Maybe there's some 3rd party that will exchange 10's battery? Just make sure that they'll also change the screen if they damaged it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nuts77:
Hey folks,

I live in Europe (France). I bought an OEM battery at a fair price from Ebay (I can find the link if anyone is interested) and had the repair done by a store nearby for ~40 euros (which is not so much considering the time it took them to remove the screen without any damage !).

Since the guys agreed to make the change for the same price, I also took the opportunity to replace the rear case, to a beautiful brand new red housing. Now my 10 seems like it just came out of the box, for less than 100 euros in total. I'm happy !

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] zr_hazem:
It's a very hard device to repair honestly. I sent my phone for a battery replacement and they accidentally messed up part of the screen(Im guessing they bent a part in the ribbon cable for the screen). I recommend you send it to HTC themselves or a very experienced shop with good reputation and don't try to do it yourself. I must say it does make a huge difference to have the battery replaced.

When i sent my phone in, it was completely stock afaik (it was unlocked and with a custom rom before); howerever, they installed a different version and relocked the bootloader as stated in the papers you sign. It just came back like it was out of the box except that the bootloader said *Tampered* and *RELOCKED* so they didnt restore the bootloader status.

I've got my HTC U12+ two days ago and when I got my 10 out of the case to swap sim cards I noticed a small bulge on the display (see photo).

I've already written the HTC support, since there doesn't seem to be a repair address or anything like that on the homepage. I am from Germany, so I could just return the phone to my provider, but they take 2-3 weeks longer to get it repaired...

You could find tutorials on youtube, it's easy to replace, just do it step by step be pacient and careful
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Shark5060:
To give a conclusion to this:

- I wrote the support and got a return label for a local repair shop (3rd party, but authorized by HTC)

- After I sent the device off, I got NO email confirmation that the device arrived, got repaired or got sent back

- Since Hermes is a piece of **** where I live, they never bothered to try to deliver the package.

- By pure luck I was at the Hermes packet pickup store for a different package from Amazon when I learned that I hat not only one, but two packages waiting for me.

- I assume total repair and delivery time was less than a week, but I have no idea how long the package was at the pickup store.

- The battery was replaced, but the glue around the screen was applied quite poorly, but since the device works again I don't really care.

- They didn't touch the OS. Bootloader was unlocked and a custom ROM was installed - no changes after the repair.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Kam0laZ:
I watched a few of those tutorials. Just nope. I'm a bit clumsy by nature, and precision works like that are just a no-no for me. I'd end up having to replace nearly everything, because of accidentally damaged electronic parts.

My HTC 10 is about 1 year old, bought it brand new from aliexpress, so no warranty. Well ... They claim that they give 2 years warranty, but the hurdles that I'd have to go through to send it to them (took 2 months to arrive to me), with no guarantee that I'd get the same phone back when/if they repair it ... Let's just say that it has no warranty.

Luckily, it still has no major issues, apart from an echo problem. Whenever I call someone or someone calls me, whoever is on the other side hears a feedback of his/her own voice for about 30 seconds, then the echo disappears. I hear no echoes, only whoever is on the other side hears it, and only during the first 30 seconds or so of the call. There are no echoes/feedbacks if I turn on the loud speaker or use the earphones. I've been researching about this strange echo issue, and found no solutions. But I digress.

Long story short: I'm too clumsy to attempt a disassembly myself.

Also, it seems that the HTC support here is linked to a company called Regenersis, which I've read very bad reviews about. Since my phone has no warranty, I could search for a third party shop and supply them with the new parts. Although, if it becomes too much of a hassle or if they ask for too much money, I could always buy a new phone.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lmcmil:
Sorry for the late reply, i used the tutorial in : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmL0mMmNBUM&t=566s&list=PLqrAW732T3e_8qLGBDX8YoCI2XWTDCQKW&index=2

Bare in mind that you have great chances of damaging your LCD during the operation, so do it at your own risk and responsability

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SiriusCybernetik:
Just one more question. I've watched this and several other videos repeatedly but there's one thing that's not clear to me. Did you have to use some kind of glue or adhesive tape when reassembling the screen?

In some videos they don't mention it and in another one they uses industrial mp glue (B7000?). I have read a lot about people using tape.

What worked well for you? Are there any pitfalls?

Thanks in advance.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tsbrewers:
I just replaced mine this weekend and also the screen. I was having the random weird things happening, like random reboots and boot loops at that 40% battery thing. I had a new screen there "just in case" and I did end up needing it. I cut a little too deep in one corner trying to remove the screen and separated the glass part from the digitizer part. So my best advice would be to make sure to not cut any deep than about 1/8" in from the edge.

Beyond that, everything is working fine nowexcept for the screen is just slightly less responsive now. I am assuming it is because it is not an oem screen, just one I bought off ebay. I used a lighter duty heat gun I had already, a heat pad (like for sore muscles) to warm up the phone a little first, and a handful of guitar picks to remove the screen.

I actually just flashed a zip in TWRP that enabled the notification LED by the speaker grill. Its pretty nifty to have a notify light again to blink when I have something to see. Really, I just wanted it to for charging purposes (I have some cables that are starting to go and I want to know if my phone stops charging without touching it, since that sometimes knocks it back into place temporarily), but the notify blinker is a happy side effect.

How to keep twrp, installing a custom ROM.

Always use official twrp:?

https://t.me/XiaomiMiA1ClouD/206

Let's say you are in aokp and want to install Los15.1.

You do it this way...

You do all wipes Data,system,boot, internal.

Next you flash the ROM and last official twrp zip.

Reboot to recovery and flash gapps and magisk.

Reboot to system and enjoy!

LG Volt Unresponsive Presses? Factory Reset Results In Talkback Screen & Long Reboots

I'm not even sure how to title this thread. It all got nasty.

The most I've done so far is root my LG Volt.

I was just recently pursuing building an AOSP ROM and even used "dd" to back up EVERY partition to my computer.

Then, I also had wiped the laf partition to get to fastboot rather than "recovery" (download mode (volume-up&power)). THEN, I fastboot restored the backed up laf partition.

This was all probably 2-3 weeks ago.

Now last night, my phone became more and more unresponsive, to where I just had to reboot and the unresponsiveness didn't get better AND the script used for mounts to my sdcard didn't work and when I even tried to "su" while in adb, I never was able to get root for some reason (which likely explains the permitted root apps to fail to run).

And it only gets worse. One of the times I rebooted, the keypad didn't come up to decrypt the drive. Eventually I gave it time and it came up. But even BEFORE decrypting, I'd get notices of apps failing like Settings (and I hadn't even booted yet).

At this point, I didn't have many (any?) options left. I can't adb/fastboot with Volume-Up/Down & Power (lg nerfed it?)

I mean, I can boot to those (screens?), but can't use the programs on my computer (no device is found in those modes, unlike when I could adb while fully into android).

So, I have been able to get to the fastboot screen and wipe cache and also factory reset (wipe data).

When I reboot from fastboot, boot takes about 6-7 minutes and android starts with the Talkback screen.

But again, the screen presses are nearly unresponsive. When pressing "Next" finally registers, my phone ends up rebooting and NEVER boots up.

It starts with the LG boot logo and the smooth "glimmer" animation. After maybe 15 minutes, it seems like it reboots again (or maybe a 2nd stage of boot or something?) and that "smooth" animation now becomes "jittery", like the cpu is really being taxed.

Again, I hadn't flashed any ROMs with this phone yet, so surely the factory reset would've brought it all back to a clean state.

Also, I DID remove my old swollen battery (gassed-up for maybe 2 years now (yes, I know I'm practically playing with fire)) too, and put it back in.

I would always have my phone plugged into my computer so it would always be charged.

What are my options at this point for my 3+ year old phone? Is there a way to get to adb/fastboot so I can restore what I backed up before? Can I sideload a ROM from my sdcard? ...?

What I'd like to do is fsck the data partition and maybe even run badblocks on it.

While typing all this out and reviewing it, that part of the boot with the jittery logo disappeared, so it may now be onto the stage of getting back into the main android start screen. Ouch, that boot audio really struggled, again like the cpu is really being hammered.

Nope, the logo is coming back up again and really struggling to even display the logo. The G and "Life's Good" is still fading in VERY slowly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindicatorr:
Well, luckily I was still able to use the old flash method https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-brick-recovery.893332/

Now I look to restore the partitions I had previously backed up with dd.

The problem is, I never backed up the decrypted dm-0, but rather the encrypted userdata mmcblk partition.

Does twrp or something have the ability to restore the encrypted mmcblk partition and what I guess is the small "encrypt" partition that I assume contains the encryption key?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] :
I just got one of these from Best Buy as well. There are some things that I am finding that are missing from the unlocked versus the carrier branded version such as no support for AT&T wifi calling, HD Voice, & Visual voicemail. The only thing I would like to get is native support for visual voicemail and I did find a workaround by side loading the AT&T Visual Voicemail APK since the official version from the play store says it is not compatible with my phone. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] r0ck09:
I think Samsung has a visual voice mail app included with the phone. I also believe att uses this app but they require the phone be provisioned with them. Basically on their system they need the imei and they make it a smartphone plan, unlike an iphone where they make it an iphone provision for facetime etc. Worth a shot to give them a call. I had to do this when switching from my iphone to my old N8. I wonder if enhanced msging works the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] :
I would hope, but I've already talked with with AT&T Tech support regarding this. Currently this option is not available on factory unlocked S9/S9+ but is being looked into for a possible future firmware update. Not sure exactly when this will happen but they say it's up to Samsung to update. So how long it will be or even if it will be done is anybody's guess. Perhaps there might be a way to load the Carrier (SM-G965U) firmware to the unlocked (SM-G965U1) model. I've seen it's possible to go the other way but I'm not of the reverse.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NukeThemTillTheyGlow:
I just upgraded from a S8 to S9 this weekend (both Verizon). I had the S8 for close to a year, but was experiencing microphone issues and my voice calls were always garbled. Up until the recent Oreo (v8) update, my wallpaper/screen saver/AOD theme was the original that came with the phone. I believe it was called "Infinity Wallpaper" from what I've been able to research, but it was the primarily black/space background with a subtle collection of stars ("galaxy") for both the wallpaper and AOD. Then with Oreo (which I loved on the S8) the wallpaper theme changed so now the home screen wallpaper is a blue mountain with stars in the sky and its too busy for me. When I ran the Smart Switch app to move all of my content from the S8 to the S9 it moved that theme with it.

Where can I find the original S8 theme and use it on my new S9?
