[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] schneidz:
hi, i have an essential fone and a 360 camera. when i copy fotos to my pc it looks like a salvador dali drawing and i am unable to drag the field of view around. however videos work in vlc (but not mplayer/kodi).

is there a viewer that is able to view these pictures as intended.

also, is there a webserver that can render them on a website ? (pannellum and photo-sphere-viewer seem to only work with panoramas).

so far i am only able to view the pictures correctly on the essential-360 camera app on my telefone. maybe essential is saving these in a non-standard format ?

[schneidz@hyper]$ file IMG_TP20180303_213002.jpg
IMG_TP20180303_213002.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, aspect ratio, density 1x1, segment length 16, baseline, precision 8, 2560x1312, frames 3

i am able to view the pics and videos on my pc using vlc.

vlc mobile doesnt have the ability to directly view pics. i have to use file-expert-hd select each file 1-by-1, clik on ... -> open with -> vlc (kind of a kludge).

I have not made any changes to my phone settings but recently I noticed Tasker stopped working when the screen is locked. I use AutoRemote to receive a timed message from IFTT which is used in a profile in Tasker to execute some tasks. This has worked flawlessly for months but recently it stopped. The profile and task work correctly when the screen is on though. I have tried all the various battery and Tasker settings but cannot seem to fix this new problem.

Anyone else having this problem?

I've scoured the net to find a solution. Most of which involve editing WhatsApp... Which I don't have.

There is surely another way.

Someone suggested turning off app permissions. I turned them all off. No dice. My launcher failed after that. Coincidence?

Anyways. Surely someone has built an xposed app, or fdroid work around... Right?

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] helloplayer1:
Hi, my name is Julian, I am a newbie and I've got two big problems with the Galaxy J5(I think 2016) with 8GB internal and a 32GB SD Card, Stock Gapps and Lineage Os:

Internal Storage Issue

The Phone constantly says “Not enough Storage”, although there are NO extra Apps installed, except Whatsapp, and he has no personal Data(Images, movies, etc....)

BUT when I look in the Storage option in the Settings, the Calculation is not correct. It says : 3Gb for Android, 1,5GB for Apps and maybe 0,5Gb for Data, but the rest is not showing up.

SD Card to Internal Issue

So because of the 1. Issue, we decided to format the SD Card as an internal Storage. We searched up where this Option is to find and then we tried it. During the process it told us that we would free up about 2Gb of the Internal when moving stuff to the new formatted SD, so we did it, but after all There is no Extra Storage, and we are still not able to install apps from Google Play to the SD Card.(And it also says that 16GB of the SD Card are for the Android System, even if there are only 2 small Files or so).

I would be really thankful if you could try to fix our problems, because we can't go back to Stock because the Backup was broken and the copy from the PC doesn't even show up in TWRP(nor with the Backup function, neither with the File explorer function).

Storage is a general problem. Not device specific.

It is no good idea to use stock GApps. A minimal gapps is enough. You can install Google apps from play store.

WhatsApp doesn't use adapted storage AFAIK. Especially videos use much memory. Delete them all.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] statustray:
Hi Everyone,

I have a Google Edition Pixel XL with unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed, as well as Magisk 16.0 installed. I would like to know the steps in layman's terms for what is needed to install OTA and keeping data? Then what are the next steps if any to do about keeping the bootloader unlocked, and being able to use TWRP, as well as Magisk to have root?

I have not attempted to updated OTA since I have unlocked the bootloader. I just do not want to lose anything.

Apologies for a newbie question and forgive me for asking for a little handholding ;)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
a. Flash factory image instead of OTA, go to this thread:

[Guide] Pixel XL Android 8.1.0 (OREO) Unlock/Lock Bootloader + Install Stock Images/Custom kernels/TWRP Recovery/Systemless ROOT + June Security Patch and do #4 Keep Data

b. To Root/Reroot after flashing factory image do # 7

c. "keeping the bootloader unlocked": Don't lock it.:)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bobbob1016:
My concern is an unlocked bootloader is an attack vector right? Why can't I relock with TWRP/Magisk? My thought is crossing a border tbh. I'm not doing anything, but don't want my device rootkit-ed if they decide they need to investigate it for whatever reason.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
The June 2018 patch is included in the June 2018 factory image.

Why can't I relock with TWRP/Magisk? If you lock the bootloader without returning the phone to stock you'll brick your phone :(
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pkelly517:
You did say you wanted to keep your data, didn't you?

Oh, and the whole being unable to boot thing, since you won't be stock.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bobbob1016:
No I didn't really. And no one is clarifying WHY it won't boot... My best guess from what I read is signing? And I'd further guess that said signing must be done by Google not TWRP? Any way TWRP can protect against 3rd party mods by someone with my device to read my data/install stuff?

Full steps on how to take OTA updates when rooted with Magisk, TWRP & Custom Kernel?

I tried to take the 5.1.6 OTA by using these steps: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md but it didn't work properly.

Could someone give me a list of the full steps that will keep Magisk, TWRP and Blu Spark Kernel installed? When I did the steps above it kept Magisk after rebooting, but didn't keep the custom kernel, so I rebooted to recovery to reinstall the kernel. However it was replaced with OxygenOS Recovery and it automatically wiped my device.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kimyeungg:
There is no way for you to take OTA with twrp and kernel persisted.

You need to understand how update works. Apparently, the update replaces your boot partition and your kernel is exactly implemented in the boot partition.

The changes will get overwritten. Thus, you will need to reinstall the kernel by yourself.

And as what I just mentioned, there is no specific recovery partition on A/B partitioning method. When boot partition get overwritten, the twrp will also be replaced by the stock recovery.

I've had same story with my "first" p20pro.

BUT because of hardbrick (black screen and nothing else) i have returned to merchant (RMA). Anyway your phone is in warranty period, and nobody can tell what exactly have you done.

Tell, that appeared a firmware update, and after succesfull update, when you hit restart, baaam, the phone died.

(they will think about corrupt update procedure)

Good luck.

ps. if you rma, than in 1 week you will have your new phone, and after that hurry to get your bootloader unlock code :)

I used the funky method to downgrade from emui 9 back to 8. I asked if the file would work, it bricked my phone. Now im told if the device is replaced under warrenty I can have a 'discount' on a new bootloader code. Great.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
I am sorry for your device. I understand your frustration but i think you're being unfair. The guy was just trying to help and share the method that fixed his soft bricked device. It can be helpful in other cases. No need to be offensive.

As I said in one of my previous posts. I've used the downgrade method via old hisuite several times and it has always worked like a charm.

Is your model CLT L29-C432 and You choose Downgrade from EMUI9 to EMUI8 CLT-L29 8.1.0.156(C432) version? I try to understand what could go wrong.

Oh wow that's crazy, thing is though it's probably in a disclaimer that it's all on you and not them.

Bit crap for a paid service tbh.

Either way, if it's a paper weight then you can get a warranty repair, just do it, they'll be pretty quick i think.

Keep it on 8.1 for now, least til 9 is stable.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Yeah waiting on the bag from huawei atm hopefully they can fix the device tbh. Or its another c782 :/
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Chances are if you're in the UK it'll be a 782.

EU it'll probably be a 432.

Not sure about other regions but I've heard of L04 before although not sure where there from.

As I said is avoid pie until it's a solid version with twrp and root working as it should.

Downgrading is always risky, personally I think funky should take a lot more responsibility, it is after all a paid for service, I mean if you paid to have a screen fixed and it didn't work? You wouldn't pay for it, I don't see how their service is different, every eventuality should be accounted for.

Least that's my opinion on them, I'll never use them.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
I know, unfortunately i wont have much choice but to pay for another bootloader code and switch the region again. Or sell the new phone and get another one. Really huawei is a real never again after this phone. Its a shame they are like this.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yep totally agree, hold off on the unlock especially if it's brand new and boxed. See what price you can get on Swappa or eBay.

If it's not worth it then unlock it and have done with it.

It's not a bad phone but there is a lot to hate and love making it a phone that I would miss parts of but would be happy to see the back of, weird.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
I love the phone. Its just everything that comes with it. Do you know how their services centre work? If its replaces do they send a new boxed one?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Think it may depend on the age of the phone.

From past experience with RMA on others, it's been nearly a year so I'd say a refurbished device.

As for time I don't know.

Sony was 3 days

OnePlus was 5 days

Blackberry was 2 weeks

Asus 9 days

In my experience.

Huawei for all the noise they make about being the best you'd think they'd be fast and offer new or close to, let us know when it arrives of it's the same (IMEI would be the way to know for sure)

[Wing, P4350 General] VooDoo1:
So does anyone have TOM TOM maps loaded on a SD card to use as GPS instead of having to connect to a GPS unit with their WING?

I saw a guy once who had the whole Tom Tom setup on his MDA and had all the maps loaded on his mem card to access them.

Any thoughts guys?
[Wing, P4350 General] gauntman:
I´m not sure what you are going after here but if you have the TomTom dvd it will install maps to your SD card and you can access them without having a GPS unit, and plan routes. You cannot however use it to navigate in realtime since the Wing doesn´t have built-in GPS reciever. For that to work you wold need a bluetooth GPS receiver.

But as soon as i kept the sim tray, the problem came back again. Any idea?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] philpott1974:
Hi, has anyone else experienced incredibly poor audio recording with the Swift 2 Plus? Mine is updated to 7.1.2 but, ever since I've had it, recording of audio, be it just audio or audio on a video recording, sounds massively uneven and underwater. I have had the phone replaced by Amazon, same issue. Contacted Wileyfox (painful), they kept it for three weeks and sent it back with a factory reset which changed nothing and am now thinking of buying a new phone just so the audio issue can be resolved.

To clarify, normal audio playback is fine (music, YouTube etc...) it's just the playback of anything recorded.

Annoyingly, I really like the phone otherwise.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or does anyone have any tips towards resolving it?

Thanks for reading.

After many years of being actively involved in unlocking, flashing, and tinkering. I feel I'm starting from scratch. This quick guide is exactly what I've been waiting for as I'm in the same situation with being simply unlocked and rooted lol. I'll be replicating these steps shortly ?.

Only thing I'm wondering, once everything is done and running... If I flash a rom with the official "permanent" twrp, it's gone gone? Let's just say, renovate ice ROM?

Maybe it's the 16 hour day I worked and lack of sleep... But having it replaced upon a single rom flash and carrying the name "permanent" seems like 2 opposing ideas lol
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
Yes, well spotted and corrected :good:

If you were to flash a full OTA official update then yes, your "permanent" twrp will be gone because the boot partition gets flashed to stock and you'd need to re-install twrp starting in fastboot. However, for custom rom flashes, it depends if their is a kernel bundled in with the rom. If not then twrp should remain, if yes then as with official update, re-install twrp.

It's more normal for a custom rom to simply overwrite system partition without touching boot partition and twrp, but, sometimes custom rom's like Renovate come bundled with a kernel (TBalden's) and wipe out twrp.

If I'm wrong on this I stand to be corrected.
