[BlackBerry Priv] aiamuzz:
Hi,

I recently bought a Blackberry Priv whose touch wasn't working and it had a black spot with a vertical and horizontal red and green line lit up ...

I wanted to access the phone through a OTG, i was able to briefly get the mouse cursor, but turned out the OTG had a loose contact, and the cursor wouldn't show up anymore, so i ripped my OTG cable and set out to rebuild it as a DIY project ... after much trial and error i think i was able to successfully build one.

I connected my DIY OTG and the cursor was back on the screen, however when i tried to operate it on the screen it left a trail of pixels when swiped on the screen ... scared thinking i may have damaged the screen i immediately rebooted the phone ... on reboot the trial of pixels weren't there anymore ... THIS WAS PROBABLY MY WARNING ... HAD I HEEDED ... i wouldn't be here writing this thread ... but i guess whats meant to be will happen anyways.

The mistake is that i wanted to check the voltage on the OTG cable when it was connected to the device ... i took a multimeter and touched the Ground and Vcc points on the OTG USB side to get a voltage reading ... poof the PRIV went DAAAAAAAARK ... aka ... DEAD ???

i don't know ...

Is that the end of my device ?

is there any safeguard build in android phones at the micro USB charging port end, something like a fuse(an IC, transistor, some component that will bear the brunt of a faulty charging wire/data cable) that will protect the sensitive and critical parts of the device ?

If i have to proceed the hard way ... is there a circuit diagram available for Blackberry Priv so that i can track back the components which might have been fried as a result of the STUNT (of touching Vcc & GND on the OTG cable) i pulled ?

[Android General] _U03C6_:
hi, I would need feedback and some advice on this topic, is there a need to change the way we enter data via our touch-screen?

the qwerty model keyboard, as functional as it is, doesn't prevent us from fully exploiting the flexibility that a touch screen offers?

Do you already know of any applications that are trying an innovative way?

something like this -> h__ps://78.media.tumblr.com/4b793885c31132b1db6a1bbcc517d0a4/tumblr_inline_n4t4ws6F821r0z1sd.gif

I have not found one so I made one, I developed a new app to enter data via touch input, i developed it for android system and allows you to completely customize the system with which to enter data; what does that mean?

means that every touch on the screen becomes a valid point for data entry and each of these various characters/actions/suggestions change positions and dimension based on different parameters, such as number of touches on the screen, screen size, screen orientation, screen definition, type of data to be entered, dictionary used.... too complicated? the app is currently in its final stage, and I am now developing a python library that allows you to create pkg of configurations;

What I would also ask you would support a crowdfunding campaign to complete this app and its supporting site?
[Android General] xanthrax:
crowdfunding campaign isn`t allowed on XDA

Forum Rules
[Android General] _U03C6_:
the fact is that there is no fundraising campaign, and there will not be until I have finished all the work, and it will take a long time; the post I created was not to raise funds but to get an answer on what I think a big limit that we still carry behind, I wanted to open a discussion about what alternative to qwerty users believe should exist; if I expressed myself badly deleted even the post, it is not a problem : )
[Android General] xanthrax:
I did not say you started a campaign, I just pointed to the rules that a further discussion won`t derail towards crowdfunding, that`s all.

You are more than welcome to discuss anything else related to development and also post links , screenshots or anything wich can help you.

I also can move this thread to the Android General discussion section if you want, off-topic is basically non-development related so , your choice, just let me know
[Android General] _U03C6_:
if this will increase the volume of discussion seems to me a good idea, thx

Currently I am in QK6 version, can I odin on this RA7 ???? plsss
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] bandario:
If you go here, you can grab BRA7 and flash it from any firmware you like with Odin.

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/firmwares/Nougat/

From there, you only need to flash BRA7 to BRB5 via stock recovery and you'll be good to flash the Oreo update if that is what you're working on.

Hi All,

I need an email app for my rooted Nook Glowlight+ which runs Android 4.4,

since this is basically now an Android E-reader, i would like to use it for reading emails off-line.

Because KitKat webview dosn't support text reflow, i need an app that can do it by itself.

Until now i only managed to find HTC mail, which is not compatible with KitKat (even older versions).

Thanks!

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Hi,

I have been playing around with my new P20 Pro and setting it up to match with what I was used to on my Nexus 6P.

Coming from pure Nexus experience, I really liked the personalised cards you would see on your Google feed (when you swipe right on the home screen)

With EMUI default launcher, it has the option to show Google feeds, but nothing is showing up on the Google Assistant/Now screen when I swipe right on the home screen. It only shows the Google search bar at the top.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have figured out how to get it working? I have looked at a few things online and nothing there is helpful.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Highspeed123:
I had that issue but after I had finished setting everything up it was working fine. Sadly I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. Try going through all the Google stuff. Hold the home button and set up Google Assistant. Go into the Google settings and have a play in there

You should have an options menu when you swipe right on the home screen. Be sure to enable feed and any other relevant options. Hopefully you figure it out.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Hi Highspeed123,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried all of those things, set up Assistant, enabled feed in Google Settings and in EMUI Launcher's setting. Played around with various properties in Google Settings too, to no avail.

Hopefully, someone else would have figured out how to get it working.

Thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
So, after trying various things and trying to search online, I had a stroke of luck. Here are the steps that helped me get the Google feed and the cards working on the right swipe of home screen.

1. Open Play Store

2. Select Google App

3. Uninstall (this will uninstall any updates that were applied)

4. Check you Google feed from the home screen (it should now be working but showing you content in some different format)

5. Come back to Play Store

6. Update the Google App

7. Return to home screen to check your Google feed and the cards now appear in the format you are used to

8. Phew...

It was tricky to figure this all out and had little help out there on the internet.

So, I hope this helps anyone else out there struggling with the setup to enjoy their shinny new P20 Pro :)

Cheers

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kruzkal:
I use Lawnchair Launcher and Lawnfeed for this.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] hitpl:
Not sure if you have already tried it, but another workaround is to simply search for something in the search bar at the top and after closing the search results, the feeds starts appearing!

Not necessarily reliable the whole Google feeds and Maps app on a non stock Android phone, but we all wanted a super camera :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Rheumatoid:
Google seems to have updated. i now get a feed and navigation items at the bottom. It looks different with a smaller search field. Seems ok but I can't swipe stuff i'm not interested in away any more.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclarence:
Hello,

I am looking for a way to disable the hall/flip cover sensor on this phone (most likely through the kernel). I recently replaced the battery on the phone and somehow broke the sensor. Now it thinks that there is a flip cover. It turns the flip cover on and off every second. When I turn off the flip cover, the touchscreen is barely responsive due to the flip cover sensor. adb logcat shows that the hall sensor is the culprit, showing that the state is changing between on and off. I am thinking that this sensor should be disabled in the kernel but I am unsure of how to accomplish that. Currently a workaround is running

rm /dev/input/event0

, which temporarily fixes but comes back after a reboot.

Maybe someone could make for me a modified kernel which disables the hall sensor for the latest stock firmware on the ze550ml or guide me on how to make a modified kernel or alternate solutions.

Thanks

Hello,

system crashed after trying to set selinux to enforcing and after some searching on forum I found out that no Oreo ROM has enforcing selinux because policies aren't written yet. So I would like to know if somebody is working on these policies and if enforcing selinux will be possible in future.

You can set selinux to enforcing in unofficial crDroidAndroid by difr, you have to set it manually though as default is permissive.

I recently purchased a YU Yureka just to flash LineageOS and use it. That was awesome. The phone was silky smooth and loved the new feel and look.

I have an LG G2 - I have an LG G2 that I am trying to repair. Someone tried to replace the battery and now when the phone powers up the screen does not respond. It is possible that this was damaged prior to the battery change. The screen otherwise appears to be fine with no cracks.

Does this suggest the digitizer needs replacing?

I always used Heimdall when flashing my S4, I've not tried it with the S9, which I'm leaving stock for the time being, but I quickly rebooted to download mode and I don't see why it wouldn't work

From memory, Heimdall has a GUI, but I've always used command line, below is what I used to use to flash a new modem on the S4;

and flashing recovery would be along the lines of;

--RECOVERY refers to a partition name on the device, while recovery.bin would be the recovery file to flash. If you want to flash anything else, then you'd want the appropriate partition name. heimdall print-pit will give you a list of all partitions on the device, partition names, and the name of the flash file, so it should be obvious what you need to do. You can probably use the Heimdall GUI too and it may well be easier, I'm just a CLI person so have never tried

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Assuming your Macs are running El-Capitan or latter, you'll need the unoffical 1.4.1 release of Heimdall ) rather than the 1.4.0 release from Glass Echidna

thanks for the help ! Recovery install, flash and root are all done !!

little sum up of the method :

Before Downloading & Installing JOdin 3, Here are some Requirements

1 - Install Java on your MAC OSX (in the google drive link below (jre-8u181-macosx-x64))

2 - Install Hemidall, (in the google drive link below(Heimdall-1.4.1-Unofficial-Signed))

3 - Get rid of Samsung Kies installed on your MacBook in case you have it installed

4 - Start Using JOdin3

5 - Let me know if i forgot anything so i can edit the post and don't get people confused.

Here is the google drive folder with everything needed to perform that on Mac OS !

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] seking:
Same thing happened to me. Just do the following and you will be back to normal but with baseband 1.76.

1. Unplug your phone from the computer.

2. Press and hold the POWER button until your phone restarting 3-5 times.

3. After the 3rd times (or more), you will see the notification LED goes off in the middle of boot process, and at that time, quick press VOLUME + button and release the POWER button but keep the VOLUME + button pressed.

4. Your phone will be at POWER OFF status.

5. After your phone is completely off, press and hold the VOLUME +, then press POWER button and connect your USB at the same time.

The phone will be in bootloader mode and you will see that you have locked bootloader. Use the image received from lenovo on email to unlock

After unlocking the bootloader it will boot normally and your data will be safe.

The only tricky part is to switch off the phone. Patiently do it.
