I am able to install Messages version 5.0.21.18 fine, but the new one released today 5.0.21.32 will not install.

Also, is anyone on 5.0.21.18 able to swipe the conversation to the right to initiate a phone call? I liked that in the stock version 4.4.11.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GuestK00391:
Is ur phone rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EzEddie:
Not rooted. Latest OTA. Do any versions of the non-OTA Messages app include the swipe to call/text?

Hey y'all - I'm running stock, non-rooted at&t-branded Note 8, build# R16NW.N950USQS5CRID (OTA came in today) and the stock Messaging app is running v4.4.30.42. I thought the latest OTA included v5+ ?

Any benefits to Messaging v5+ ? If so, I'll totally update from apkmirror, but don't want to run into any issues.....

I've used Android Messages until it started glitching out... Suffered through 5 updates with continued delayed sending of messages, to incessant FCs. So, i stopped.

Anyway, I still don't know what's so hot about v5? Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lavman72:
I'm using Android messages. I like the ability to use my desktop to send/receive messages. However, with Android messages I no longer get notifications on my phone (on CRID build). Meaning..on the lock screen or even the standard notification. I'm not so concerned, I see the notification on my AOD. My question is, is anybody using the latest Samsung message build (5.0.45.2) that was recently posted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kangi26:
I'm on CRID too and am using Android Messages, but I'm not having any issues with notifications. I'd say there may be a setting that's not quite right for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] trevor7428:
Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] trevor7428:
What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Yep gone for me too

Few on the play store you can use
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] trevor7428:
That makes no since why Samsung would remove it. Thanks for checking
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense

At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung

anyone get a previous version working? i really miss a widget..

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Today, L04C567B396 appeared on FF, the third update in a month time with no approval for installation for the earlier B394 so far.

With this updae comes two additions and one improvement to the EMUI features plus a new June google security patch.

Again, with this update a hope of eminent EMUI 8 (Oreo) is lost at least for a couple of months if not impossible any time soon in my opinion.

Let's hope that my guess is wrong.

Tell me what do you think in the comments below.

Anyways here's the B396 changelog:

This update reduces Phone Manager's cleanup time to less than one minute, and adds more scenarios to support the one-touch split-screen feature.

[Dual windows]

Adds a button in the Recent apps cards. Touch it to split the screen. This operation is only available for apps that support the split-screen feature.

[System]

Optimizes Phone Manager's cleanup speed and scope. A single cleanup can now be completed in less than one minute.

Optimizes data usage management by allowing you to specify the start date of your data plan.

[Call]

Optimizes Quick calling by enabling speaker mode by default. Press and hold the volume down button to enable Quick calling.

[Security]

Integrates Google security patches released in Jun 2018 for improved system security.

----------------

Update 1: Honor skipped B394 to B395 and stated seeding.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Who cares? By the time it's approved it'll be end of July possibly August. Chris (head Dev at honor USA) says they have no control over when it gets approved. We are getting Oreo, and he's getting responses from the beta group about the bootloader issue to give to the higher ups.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
I was thinking the same.

Honor support told me we would get it 'very soon' 2 months ago and its likely another two months if they have only just started alpha/beta testing.

Not sure I agree that is 'very soon'.

Personally I'd prefer lineageos so we get future support, but haven't read the other threads to understand why dev support is limited.

Perhaps 'Chris' can release the kernel source for Oreo on the Honor 8, so others can start development in parallel with Honor, or release the camera blobs or whatever is stopping the camera's working.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] naiku:
Has anyone removed the battery from the Tab A and hard wired in a power supply? Looking to install mine in the car, but OTG + charge does not work, which pretty much means it's a non starter.

While I am tempted to try the Lavalink adapter, reviews of it are not exactly stellar. The battery looks like it has 2 red, 2 black and 2 yellow wires. I am not sure yet what the yellow wires are for, but would assume red and black are positive and negative. If I go this route, I plan to buy a 2nd battery to use the little pigtail on order to be able to put the tablet back to stock if needed.

Anyone done this to their tablet?

Thanks.

Edit: Took the tablet apart, nope. The DIY I read about taking the back off showed 6 wires coming from the battery (2 x Red, Yellow and Black) which would have been easy enough to splice into. But, the tablet, in reality, has a ribbon cable coming from the battery, not really likely to attach anything to that pigtail without breaking something. So, looks like Lavalink or bust.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _h4x0r_:
This is kind of bizarre...every time I click on my start menu, the number of items shown as the recently run programs just duplicate themselves! For example, if I have two items there, the next time I click on my start menu I will have 4, and then 6, 8,10,12, etc...

Aside from that, once the list goes over 10, the start menu turns white and I can only see the icons without the text labels of what they are.

Anyone else run into this or know how to fix it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wyrm:
Yes, had the same thing. Backed up my PIM data, then HR'ed and it was the last I saw of the double-then-white start menu.

But it was EXTREMELY annoying, damn right.

Ah, one more thing: you mislabeled the issue but described it accurately: it's always two latest entries that get doubled, until the whole goes out of bounds and turns white...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _h4x0r_:
Fixed part of the title :)

I HR'd a couple times and continued to have the same problem after re-installing various software...so I tried being more deliberate on installing the software and testing things out after each install (if for some reason having a certain program in the list was causing the problem). So far things are good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] glennordway:
i had the problem when i was using the Cube on my phone. I changed from the original 3 sided cube to the Sclpc++ cube and no longer have the problem. So if you are using one of the cubes, that may possibly be the problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _h4x0r_:
I thought about using another, but ended up going with sclpc++ from the get-go. There's a -slight- possibility that the problem could have been from accidentally trying to run multiple instances of efrost's touchflo software. But that's just a theory...and from what it sounds like, the problem occurs in different instances that aren't visibly linked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wyrm:
you might be on to something as I've just realized that the whole thing started soon after my changing ROMs to Schaps' 4.31 AND installing a cube with its own FtouchFlo config... right now, I'm using an older cube (Vista-style by poorlyduck), but have deactivated Schaps' TouchFlo. And haven't run into the white menu since.

Then again, it may be just an unfortunate combination of installed soft and/or customizations...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _h4x0r_:
I'm not so sure that it is the cube though...I ran into this problem when I first received my tilt and was isntalling software on the stock image. After removing and the SR'ing the device followed by the software re-install, the problem went away...granted it only happened once. Regardless of when it happens, it seems thusfar to correct itself after re-installing/removing software so it's hard to say exactly what's causing it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dtjunkie07:
This happens to me at least once every two weeks. I have found that it occurs when program shortcuts get moved down to the bottom box on the start menu and are then grouped in with the "Programs" and "Settings" folders. If you go into "settings" then click "menus" and change a few check marks around it should reset, however there will still be a shortcut or two on the bottom box. Another thing to try is to go into the windows folder then the start menu folder and just play around in there until it goes away...maybe delete the shortcuts in question and then recopy them back if they disappear from the start menu. Uninstalling and reinstalling the offending programs works as well, it's just a little more hassle in my eyes. My two noob cents.

-Louis
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _h4x0r_:
Try checking this out here...I'll be trying this out being as this has been a suggested solution to the problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dnash:
Thanks dude that worked..!! I just cut/pasted the shortcuts to another folder and then pasted them back when it was working fine...

Oh and for me the problem occurred after installing touchflo and sclpc++

[General Questions and Answers] SLAB_8002:
We're getting ready for a significant road trip (approx 4500 miles over 14 days) with the 2 kiddos. We're looking to use my LG Gpad X8.3 tablet for my kids to watch movies and TV shows in the car. I figure it would be easier to cast videos from the Netflix app on my wife's phone to the tablet, like a Chromecast, so she can control it from the front seat. However, I can't figure out how to cast shows from Netflix to another Android device without casting the entire screen. I have the Cast Receiver app installed on the tablet, which Google Home recognizes as a "Chromecast", but the Netflix app doesn't recognize it. Any suggestions on other ways to accomplish this?

The tablet is rooted and running Android 5.0.1, FWIW.

I'm sorry but i'm kinda a noob at this rooting stuff but how do I actually flash twrp on my p9? I followed a guide within that thread you linked me to, and the instructions are as follows:

2. Flash recovery using the following command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-eva.img

3. reboot to recovery!

I'm not quite sure how to do step #2. It says to flash the .img file using the following command. Question is, what program do I use to flash the file? The thread doesn't have any links to a program that can flash the image file. It only has the img file itself.

Search is your friend, you need to install ADB and drivers, you will need to enable ADB on the phone, but furst of all you will need to unlock Bootloader.

For ADB the easiest (smallest package and fastest to install on the PC): Minimal ADB and Fastboot.

Invest a day or two or more (depending on your knowledge and experience with hacking of other Android phones)) by searching and reading topics and ask further questions (in the corresponding topics) once you have an overview of the proess and when you start on and have practical questions
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] blitzball:

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Is it so hard to enter "Minimal ADB" to Google and it immediately gives you a link to XDA with installation and instructions for PC - it takes a second or two?!?

Or you really expect that others will search for every for every small detail to copy you links and instructions - if searching and concentrating to read is to hard than better give up and use stock, un-rooted phone, but also not a bricked phone :)

Hi

I know the p10 lite has had its oreo upgrade and this will open up this device to Project treble ROM's has anyone sucessfuly installed any of the treble ROM's out there and if so which ones give a good overall experience TIA

N
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Eurofighter_ty:
In most cases is kinda a lottery to install successfully a treble ROM because of the Huawei encryption. Firstly I recommend to upgrade to the final and latest version of Oreo (B360) (using HuRUpdater) which is the final version and then flash this TWRP recovery:

https://xdaforums.com/p10-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3777582

Here you have 2 options: You can format /data and then factory reset after you flash the ROM OR flash back the stock recovery and wipe data from there. The later option works the best for most people.

If it's a system.img then you can flash it by fastboot and keep the original Huawei recovery and do a wipe from there.

Like I said it's kinda lottery so keep in mind to have the stock firmware handy if anything goes wrong.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] ndg_2000:
thanks for the advice

i will have a play

the only thing i dont understand is that i thought the Treble ROMS should be device non specific and then ANY treble rom should work........... as the underpinning "drivers" (sorry im used to explaining my thinking in windows speak) are allready sorted and on another partition on the phone ready to go

If im missing somthing please can someone correct me or explain it better as although i can and have flashed all of the android devices i own my knowledge ends there with Android.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
Hi,

I recently tried a custom rom on my old phone and it worked pretty well. I liked the OS and now want to also do that on my current phone. But i do still have a few questions i hope you can help me with.

- Can i make a full backup of my phone (with app data) to my PC or maybe to my old phone? I am currently not rooted and tried helium backup but saw that sadly not all apps allow a backup.

- I know about titanium backup. Is there some way (if the above cant be done) i can root my phone without wiping the phone? So i can then use titanium backup to make a proper backup with data, then install the custom rom and after restore the apps+data.

In short: I hope i can somehow make a full backup with app data so i can install the custom rom and restore my app data again.

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
Nothing? No one ? =(
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] razr96:
To root you need to unlock the bootloader, which wipes all user data. So you can't use root to backup your data. This is why I unlock the bootloader immediately after getting a phone.

You can try an adb backup though.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
Thank you for your reply and thx for the tip. Ill be doing that too from now on when i get a phone.

As long as i can make a full backup with abd (with app data), Im fine with wiping to root it. But just wanted to make sure i can get app data back after the root process.

Do you happen to have a link to a proper backup using abd guide?

Thanks
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] sm00th4f3:
no
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
Well with a few side searches i was able to open the cmd (admin), do a adb devices (which found a device) and then run the app + data command.

('adb backup -apk -shared -all -system -f C:\backup.ab')

I saw the screen on my phone to start it, which i did but it stays on Shared Storage (where before this mentioned the apk's that were being backed up). This is taking pretty long (as in hours). Is this normal or did something went wrong and is it stuck on that part?

Edit (Update): I stopped the whole thing and tried again. Now it finished in about 10 - 15 min. I did get a message "backup finished". However in the folder i gave up, there is nothing to see. folder is still empty

Edit2 (update): Found the backup.ab file. Apparently it was in a different folder i thought it would be. So if i then also make a copy of the internal storage and do this command, i should be good right? After doing that, unlock and root, i can use the 'adb restore C:\backup.ab' and have all apps + app data back as it was before the unlock/root ?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
I'm not really sure what you mean though.

If i unlock my phone with my code and then make the backup with adb and just in case, a copy of my internal storage, can't i use restore on the unlocked/rooted phone to have the apps + their data back and use them again ?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
So you are saying that there is no possibility to backup my apps+data, unlock/root/custom rom, and then restore my apps+data at all?

That was some what the question of my first post.

So its either, fully wipe with everything lost, then root etc. etc. or just keep it the way i have it now?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DDakara:
Yes but as you mentioned, unlocking means a full wipe. And i cant restore apps + their data from a stock phone backup to an unlocked phone as it can cause issues.

In my very first post i asked if i could make a backup of the apps + their data to restore them after unlocking/rooting/custom rom or whatever. Simple answer then is no.

So i either have to just wipe my phone and basically start all over, only unlock/root etc etc first.

Or just keep my phone stock like how it is now and just do nothing and wait until i get a new phone (which will be in a long time still)
