I think the clock widgets of XZ2/XZ2 Compact are just the same as previous widgets. Maybe you are referring to the lock screen clock that is the same as the one in Xperia Touch.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] georgearn:
Hi, do you know how to get the same lockscreen clock as on XZ2 on other oreo based Sony smartphones?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Indashio:
You need modify systemui.apk

I try Unfortunately, it failed. Interface fore closed :/

When I update this APK from XZ2 I see this new clock in option but not working, when I restart system Interface lost navigation icons.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] 550D:
You can use "kustom widget" and recreate it..

The game is as simple as it can be. Your character moves, avoiding obstacles. But, a simple base becomes turned on the head when the only way to control your character is with your voice. The character's actions change depending on the volume of your voice.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] bokees:
Hello,

I hope this is the right spot for asking for help.

I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy S7 a few months ago, but 2 days ago I decided to uninstall my Magisk Root.

I decided to completely restore my Phone, but I chose the wrong restore in TWRP and I deleted everything on my phone.

I noticed my phone said that it didn't have any OS installed, and I feared the worse.

I couldn't start my phone without going straight into TWRP recovery, and I can't access the downloading modus.

Could anyone give me advice/help me getting my phone back into stock rom?

I have discord, skype and I can talk here on this forum.

With kind regards,

Bokees

good if you get this situation again try one of the following

1-use jig to enter download mode

2-flash bootloader files from stock rom (useing dd command which have the form dd if=/file path of=/path to the partition in the device)

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

use dd command while you are in the custom recovery mode(adb mode with root access is enabled)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] cetindk:
Hey guys!

I've looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer, so i decided to open a thread.

Whenever I take burst shots, the order of the bursts get mixed when I look at them in the gallery. And because of this, when I hit "create animation" on Google Photos, the GIF doesn't become a continuous sequence, the order of the frames gets mixed. Does this happen to everyone?

Secondly, transferring photos and videos from device memory to SD Card is a trouble. Is this the way it normally behaves?

I use Quickpic, and whenever I move photo to SD, it doesn't move but only copies it, and I have to close the app and open it back to see it copied. Moving videos to SD doesn't work at all. The videos I try to move becomes corrupted once I move it and it won't open.

Someone suggested formatting the SD card but I don't know if that'll work and I don't want to go into such hard work if it won't fix it.

Any suggestions?

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] The_Goss:
The day I got my G5 plus, I plopped down on my couch, popped in my SIM and then proceeded to install LineageOS 15.

I succeeded. Go me, however I've never seen a light Indicating that the battery is charging. I can just as well tap my screen to see... But there aren't even any settings in the OS for the notification or battery lights. Since I never saw the phone on the stock rom, I can't say whether it did or didn't have a light before I installed Lineage.

Am I missing some firmware here or is this just an elephant in the room you never talk about?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DarkPhoenix7878:
This phone has no notification light LEDs
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] thedr34m13:
There is a notification/charging LED, but on stock it only turns on when you charge the phone when it's off. Custom ROMs do have support for the LED, like Ressurrection Remix, Pixel Experience, etc. No idea why it's not turning on in your case.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
From personal experience i can tell you that anyone claiming to unlock your phone is scamming you. I had to get my credit card involved to get my $20 back. There are those that will GSM unlock with a computer but the moment you update your FW you'll lose that unlock.

Sprint devices NEVER unlock with a code. If you have a fully paid off device then Sprint will have to legally unlock it for you. You chat with their international team for some reason to get this done.

It's easier if you have a phone active with Sprint. Do not waste your money elsewhere. FYI.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:

If it came unlocked then most probably you got a phone that was unlocked by Sprint. You should be fine.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
If it is fully paid off with a good ESN then get in touch with Sprint international chat. They will unlock it for you for free.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] saba222:
They said its already unlocked, i bought it from ebay
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
I don't get it. Are you saying they sold you a phone as "unlocked" but it is still "locked"? Did a GSM SIM card not work?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] saba222:
sprint says it is unlocked for both domestic and international use, but when i put gsm card it says invalid sim
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
Try this as it may work. Make sure the GSM SIM card is "live". INsert the GSM Card. Go into settings and System Updates. Update PRL, Profile and then UICC unlock. I had to do it on one of my V20s as Sprint instructed and it worked.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] saba222:
i tried several sims but none of them work
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
Make sure you have enabled "Developers Options" and set the "OEM Unlock" to "On".

The only way you can truly unlock it is with the UICC unlock. Are you a Sprint customer? That helps. However if you are not and you phone is still fully paid off, go on the following website and initiate a chat:

https://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch/

Tell them that you HAVE TO get it unlocked and ask them to reset and refresh the unlocking process from their end. I had to do this with an LG X Power. They made me wait for almost 10 minutes after which my phone rebooted by itself after they reset it. Once I restarted the phone and connected to wifi, I was able to UICC unlock it. Good Luck!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
I tried this the other night and they told me the online team no longer has authorization to do unlock.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
That is BS on Sprint's part. I just helped my niece UICC unlock her V30 literally yesterday using that same link I provided. You have to keep trying and be patient with them.

Also, being a "current" Sprint customer helps. I just tell them I have to travel to places where Sprint offers spotty coverage and I don't want to lose my customers. YMMV!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
Spotty coverage isn't even a lie for me. I had a couple sprint phones. My house is in a absolute dead zone and my whole area is spotty at best, unless im smack dab in the middle of town not one bar. Im on the west coast and looking at theyre coverage map their network is almost non existent.

I don't have a sprint account period though. My other phones were on Sprint mvnos and like i said i bought this phone used and obviously have no contact with the seller. Sprint wants account pin. I don't know why they can't just keep resending the signal until its unlocked.

I asked on their support forum and the rep said when the phone becomes eligible for unlock they automatically send signal to unlock it once. If the phone is roaming or off at the time they sent the signal your sol.
