[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dr.memo1o:
for example i use substratum and sometimes i would unistall all layout or update apps in the background and would watch something on youtube or browsing and they would appear in the middle of the screen

usually they dont but something is triggering them to appear what i want is to disable them or know what trigger them so i dont because once they start appearing they dont stop i used to use untoasted mod but im not rooted

just saying there is something causing them to appear as they usually dont my suspects r devoloper option and lucky patcher but my bet would be on the first

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] iTzHard:
Hello fellow Mi A1 users,

i have a neat idea for a little thing we can make, mega.nz repo for official fastboot roms!!

why??

because a lot of people have slow and/or expensive internet (seeing that Xiaomi has a lot of focus on the Indian market) so when someone want to revert back to something like a stock boot.img or a stock system.img etc.... he doesn't have to download the whole fastboot rom which is around 1.3-1.4GB.

cheers,

Does anyone know how to uninstall this? When i try to do it on the phone or over Activesync I get a warning message that it could not remove all of the program and ultimately the entire program is still installed. It takes up too much room for what it does (and I think there's a battery issue with it as well) Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mchapman007:
Try using the Uninstall application of this program: http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ Once the program is uninstalled, just delete the remaining folders and then run the Quick Clean and that should remove all remnants of the Uninstalled program.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bugsykoosh:
Thanks. It helped to remove mobitv and xmradio which were entirely useless to me and took up a lot of room. However, when I tried to uninstall memmaid it left a few bits behind - there are folders remaining in the program directory... in fact the MobiTv icon still exists in my program directory leading me to beleive that it's just deleting a folder and not removing the program from my reigstry, etc. It's a start though. Thanks again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edhaas:
Re: uninstall

This may be a silly question, but was VC cooked into the rom originally or did you install it yourself? If it was cooked in you will not be able to remove it. (As is true for any cooked in application.)

Best wishes,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mchapman007:
Quick question; when using MemMaid, did you use the Quick Clean with all items checked? by default not all are checked.

Dead shortcuts

Dead Registry

Bad uninstall (files)

Bad Uninstall (Registry)

These are just a few items I would make sure are checked..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bugsykoosh:
Thanks for the help guys. It was not part of a cooked rom and after checking the boxes on memmaid and rebooting a few times VC is gone (and 5 megs are free). After uninstalling memmaid (it's 900k - I can't keep that around:) ) it just left an empty folder called "Handyswitch actions" that I'm just going to manually delete. Thanks for the help. I was this close to deciding between keeping Skyfire and outlook :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mchapman007:
Sorry, during install of MemMaid you could of unchecked the handyswitcher and whatever extras you didn't need and they wouldn't have installed. Glad to see you has some success though.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bugsykoosh:
As I've been using my phone I learned there's a new glitch - if I use autocomplete to fill in text or complete an email address, etc it crashes my phone (I think pasting text does too). This didn't happen a day ago so I think there's a connection to the uninstallation of VC. I've reset it 5 times and it's always the same result. The screen becomes nonresponsive, switching to landscape mode takes about 45 seconds and doesn't solve anything and both the onscreen keyboard (Happy Tapping) and the hard keyboard fail to function. If I wait it out I can get the start menu to drop down and get to the Today screen but navigation is still brutally slow there and the email sits. I Use o2plus and it shows apps are running but doesn't state them (it's pOutlook that is frozen). Any ideas? I wish PPC had 'last good state' like Windows... thanks again

[Amazfit] Odonadon:
I am using a Stratos during the week and I love it, but thinking of getting an amazfit bip for the weekends. Does the amazfit app/android phones allow pairing of multiple watches at the same time? Any caveats?

I'm sure this answer is out there but my google Fu is not strong and haven't been able to find the right answer with my search terms.

Cheers,

OD
[Amazfit] Odonadon:
Does anyone have more than one amazfit watched synced to their android phone?

Cheers,

OD
[Amazfit] lfom:
I don't think it's possible in Amazfit app, although it allows you to pair with another watch maybe it will replace the exiting one, but I have never tried doing this.

But MiFit seems to allow multiple devices as long as they are not the same type, for example, one MiBand and one Bip or Pace.
[Amazfit] Odonadon:
Thanks for that. I don't see an option in the amazfit to add another watch. Also, when I try to pair the Stratos to mi fit it just takes me into the amazfit app.

I uninstalled the amazfit app to test but when I tried to pair the Stratos in mi fit it prompted me to install amazfit app...

Does the Bip have this same requirement? Perhaps the amazfit app can sync with the Stratos and mi fit can sync with the Bip?

Cheers,

OD
[Amazfit] lfom:
When I open Amazfit app and go to Profile I can see "Pair new watch" there, and it tries to read another QR code.

Yes, MiFit requires Amazfit app to pair with Pace/Stratos, and it's a complicated issue... I was able to use my Pace with both apps fro Play Store (i.e. not CN version) using the same account in both (I used Google account, but FB should work too), but a lot of people have problems doing it. The only thing I did previously was testing a CN version of Amazfit and paired with Pace using my Mi account, and I never unpaired the watch but used adb to display the QR code on watch whenever it was needed.

Sure, you can use each app with a device, but they won't sync the data, so what's the point?
[Amazfit] BobCaun:
Mi Fit and 2 watches

I successfully linked an Amazfit Bip and a Mi Band 4 to Mi Fit on the same phone. I had a second Mi Fit installed in Xiaomi's Second Space on my Pocophone and another Mi Fit installed on the primary section of the phone. Each Mi Fit is paired with just one device so there is no conflict.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PugRallye:
Hi,

I hope one of you kind people could help point me in the right direction for some advice on custom ROMs for (UK version of) the Galaxy S8, how they affect performance etc, and where I might start learning more...?

Current situation

I've had a OP3T since launch and have come to the conclusion that even though it's a great phone (IMO) it's just too big/heavy and I want something smaller.

Ideal solution

Buy a second-hand/cheap S8, wipe it, install a custom ROM that's as close to "stock" Android as possible (I'm really nit a fan of Samsung's software and I'll likely have better support/updates etc from a community supported ROM than Samsung themselves)

Questions/concerns

I'm quite confused by the potential differences between the UK model (Exynos) and the Snapdragon model and how that might affect my plans etc?

What would be a good ROM that would deliver a stock Android experience whilst also being as bug free as possible, still retain things like great camera performance, good battery/performance balance, all "main" functions supported (fingerprint, GPS, BT etc)?

Finally, what are your thoughts on my idea? Is it "wrong"? Should I be looking elsewhere? What am I not aware of etc?

Thanks in advance if you take the time to help - it'll be very much appreciated...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
The main differences between the snapdragon (north america/america/china) and exynos(international) is that the snapdragon version has a locked bootloader (China has unlockable bootloader), so no magisk root, no proper custom roms and no custom kernels, in terms of performance the exynos is better in all aspects bar 1, the adreno gpuin snapdragon is a little better.

If you are looking for a clean android/lineageos based Rom il be honest with you, you maybe waiting a long time, currently only lineageos os Rom is in alpha, so a lot of stuff not working, but there are people working on it.

Most time are stock Samsung firmware based but optimised, you will find debloated version and there is a version where pretty much all Samsung apps are removed.

Also if you rely on Samsung pay once you root and install twrp and so on you will permanent trip Knox counter and it will void Samsung pay, you will however be able to use android pay
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PugRallye:
Thanks for the information...

I guess I could live with a debloated version of the Samsung ROM - I can get a lot of the stock Android "fee" from using a 3rd party launcher etc.

Ideally though I'd like to replace all the default apps with Google variants - clock, contacts etc, and remove the Samsung variants - is that something that's possibly in these debloated versions you mention?

I'm not interested in Samsung pay though - but out of interest, is this totally non-reversible? i.e. if I was to restore to a stock ROM, re-lock the bootloader etc, Samsung pay would still not work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] domsch1988:
If you don't want the Samsung experience, skip the s8.

Yes launchers and whatnot, in the end the software is Samsung with no alternative ROM wise.

There are equally good and cheaper phones with better ROM support. The S8 is only an option if you want the best screen and camera or/and really love their approach to software.

I did come from the 3t too and in hindsight would take the 3t over the s8 any day.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PugRallye:
That's really interesting...

I'm just fed up with the size and weight of the 3T - and there are no other phones that really appeal (other than the S8) when it comes to size, features etc.

I'm still quite tempted by a second hand S8 (can be had for about £400, immaculate, second hand) - at that price I can't think of many alternatives...?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vladimir_carlan:
If you want Android stock experience forget about it. At this point there's just an LineageOS 14 alpha version. Someone said that there's people working on it. Might be. But since first release (October 2017) 6 months later there's no "public" progress. So my expectations are very low leaning towards none. But you can try an optimised touchwiz rom (there's plenty of them) or even those "Google edition" roms. Based on Touchwiz but with Samsung stock apps replaced by Google's counterparts (dialer, messenger and I think camera).

Guys I have a serious problem, when I send or receive a call, the do not disturb mode is automatically deactivated. How can I solve?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] adri123:
Hi all,

i've put an new SD card in my HTC 10. It was said that it would be encrypted, so i thought great, and also that it would behave as an extension of the internal storage, therefore many apps could be installed.

On the contrary, if it is formatted as an external storage, then not all apps accept to be moved onto it, so that even with a huge SD card, i may face a space problem on the internal storage at some point, if i install too many apps there.

Question 1 though: are the photos/videos/screenshots/music etc really stored on the SD ? Or onle once the internal storage is full ?

For example, one of my videos is on /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/100MEDIA/MYVIDEO123.mp4

Is that the SD? or the internal? or is there no possibility to know just from the path?

Question 2: is it true that if i factory reset the phone, the SD card will also loose all its data, photos, videos etc ?

If that is the case, is there any real davantage of using an SD as internal storage ?

A positive scenario i would see is to use it indeed as an internal storage and do online backups of my photos/videos etc.

For the moment i was quite happy with my previous phones to use the SD as external storage and the data there being unaffected by whatever system changes on the phone. A bit like two partitions of a PC. One for the OS and one for the data.

While if i merge the two, even if i can see the advantage of doing that, it's again the old-time merging system and data.

How do you guys deal with that ?

Thanks a lot,

Adrien
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ShadoV90:
About Question 1, you can format it as internal, put that video and simply unmount or eject card. You will see what happen. You can always format that card as portable so you don't lose.

About Q2: From what i know, yes. It's true, because your card is treated as internal storage, so it will be wiped and after that your phone will "say" that your sd card is corrupted. You will need to reformat SD card.

IMO Adopting SD Card as internal memory is a bad idea, at least for me. OK, you will have encrypted data and unusable in another phone, but SD cards aren't "speed demons", and for me SD cards are intended as portable data storage, not as internal memory.

:)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3DMapPlayer:
So it's been 2 months since I bought & almost bricked this due to not having a signed stock ROM for Excite Prime 2, luckily I had a backup of the system but unfortunately this is a readback, so it is incompelete (image footers being skipped at the process, causing it not to boot) so I had to use the Wiko U Pulse & Qmobile CS1 Plus ROMs for the meantime.

And because of that, I had to modify the boot image & system files a bit to make it boot, but there is no major difference from the original one though.

Requirements:

- (for flashing Wiko stock ROM) SP Flash Tool v5 and VCOM drivers

- Wiko U PULSE stock ROM

I will not cover how to flash via SP Flash, enjoy the links tho

- TWRP recovery - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850505557

- This TWRP backup: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569969365

- SuperSU flashable zip

1. Copy SuperSU zip to SD Card

2. Follow steps how to boot to TWRP here - https://xdaforums.com/android/development/twrp-3-1-0-0-v3961-cloudfone-excite-t3773064

3. Flash the SuperSU zip

4. Take a backup of boot (so you can get device serial) & reboot

5. When it boots to Android, extract Cloudfone_Excite_Prime_2_V16_Stock_TWRP.7z file to Internal Storage/TWRP/BACKUPS/(device serial)/

- Folder included in the 7z must be inside the (device serial) folder!

6. Then boot back to TWRP again (skip the "fastboot oem unlock" step) & restore it

7. Do a factory reset & reboot!

Enjoy!

Note: even if you have reverted to stock, you can't relock the bootloader it since it's already a modified boot image.
