Got mine last week!!

I got mine last week. I wanted to have it on for a little while before posting a recommendation. First and foremost, I ordered a custom design version, with a logo remove option. Its drift wood with gold inlay. It has held up quite well. This is skin, not a case btw. No peeling off anywhere, and it's very thin considering it's a "faux" (I think it's faux) wood laminate. I have a magnet on the back of my phone under the skin, and it still holds my phone in a horizontal position on its cradle, although it has definitly lost some pull. Install was very easy and cutout alignment is top notch. But a word of warning: the adhesive on this is SUPER strong (which is a good thing); once it stick you have to heat it up loosen it. So take a deep breathe and align things correctly before letting the adhesive touch the phone.

I wanted to talk about Toast customer service as well. They're very friendly and patient. I had close to 20 emails sent back and forth between me and the design team until I was happy with the overall look. No attitude, no fuss. The design came out perfect with excellent detail. They even sent me extra "snake eyes" In case it falls off since it's so small, but it has held up well. I highly recommend this product as of now. I'll get back to you guys if it's starts to peel off or break, but judging by how it's held up until now, I have confidence in it. Only thing that bugs me a bit is that the skin can pick up color staining from clothing, but I've managed to clean it easily with isopropyl alcohol. I leave mine in the front pocket of my scrubs, and it has picked up the dark blue color a few times, especially when I was sweating. Again, it wipes clean, even after a day of setting in. It might not even be an issue with the darker color woods.

Overall extremely happy with the purchase. Highly recommended!!!

Thanks for the review! I've been debating pulling the plug on one due to the price but i think i am now.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Valcorb:
Hello,

I can't get past the setup wizard in the stock OOS. I come from LineageOS, but I changed my mind and wanted to go back to stock OOS.

I wiped everything in TWRP (Dalvik, cache, system, data, internal storage), downloaded the ROM from OnePlus website and flashed it with sideload.

Then it reboots and I'm at the setup wizard. When the wizard asks me to setup an account for backup or switch from an iPhone, it just goes to the 'Just a sec...' window and then switches back to the point where I have to select a Wi-Fi network. I even tried using cellular data, but it just keeps switching back to Wi-Fi network. I can't get past it and therefor I can't use my phone.

Would love some help.

Thanks!

P.S I tried flashing with official TWRP, bluspark TWRP and codeworkz TWRP.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] digger16309:
Sorry I can't help, but the exact same thing happened to me....Lineage 15.1 to OOS 5.1.2. I cleared everything except internal storage and got stuck on the same, Just a sec... screen. I had no choice but to revert back to Lineage to get a working phone. I was on Beta10 Firmware.

There are a lot of roms for the original Mix 2, but will it be the same for Mix 2S too and it's just too soon, or are there preconditions for the opposite?

So Xiaomi did all that is needed, the problem is only snapdragon 845 source and right after that all the custom rom development is fully open for this phone, right?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
Yes look at the Oneplus 6 forums same problem, only treble roms available atm.

The sources are pretty late with release of the 845 mostly is much earlier released.

So what do the experts advise we do ?

[MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION], [MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION], [MENTION=4636254]pinguy1982[/MENTION], [MENTION=5326897]yattaro[/MENTION], ... experts for the NST/NSTG ???
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
my first reaction is ... can i update to 1.2.2 and still be able to create a 'dd' backup image of this update using noogie boot backup method ... will the noogie sd card allow backing up this new version as well ?

If so MY first order of business would be to ... take a noogie backup of the current state of your devices ... factory reset ... update to this latest update version 1.2.2 ... register device ... test your nook library for full functionality ... take a noogie backup of this new version ... and save this update !!!

We can then revert back to the first backup(the current state of our devices) and use the devices as we are using currently ...

that way we will have the update saved before 29th June deadline and depending on what course the active experts for our devices take !!!

Experts advise ?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, so FINALLY a downloadable update zip. I'm going to try this on a

rooted

NST (my spare for experiments) to see what happens. I suspect it will fail. Stay tuned.

Edit: Well, er..... I got distracted so if there were messages I did not see them. What I have now is a device that appears to function but has some issues. For example, in Settings>Device Info>About Your Nook, the "Software Version" is "unavailable". Double tap in the Library (I have one free B&N book there) brings up essentially a blank page with the message "Service Unavailable". So running the update from a local zip file on a rooted device is

not

going to work.

In my other posts regarding this update I noted that you

can

root a 1.2.2 device using Nook Manager with a few changes, but there are issues with installing

some

apps afterwards. That problem is--at least for now--beyond my pay grade. The real problem is that for those wishing to maintain B&N function without losing their customizations, the clock is ticking. It's possible that even if you don't buy from B&N but haven't disabled all their stuff because you want to keep the Library/Reader/Dictionary functioning the system is about to become annoying. I think I have seen the beginning of this already with random error messages about B&N servers even though I disabled automatic OTA updates.

We need a fix.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Update

I had a previous backup of an unregistered 1.2.2 NST so I returned to that, rooted with a modified NookManager, and tried to install all of the apps I use on my "real" NST. What I found was that everything installs (and, I assume, runs) except for Tasker 1.3.3u2 and Opera Mobile 12.1. Even Tasker-generated apps like my Screenshot and USB Audio install and run, but not Tasker itself.

I tried "sneaking" these apps in via adb. I got a [install_parse_failed_unexpected_exception]--and no install. I tried Opera Classic 12.9 with the same result.

When I originally tried this I posted a logcat and [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] remarked that some apps were trying to use SHA-1 signatures and that the NST would only accept MD5. She suggested resigning the offending apps. Exactly why the new FW 1.2.2 was throwing up this problem when the old 1.2.1 did not, I don't know.

I've never had any luck with signing apps (or resigning them, for that matter). I really would like to have both Opera Mobile (the only decent browser for the NST) and Tasker both working.

Anyone with app resigning experience/luck?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Victory!

OK, so now we've got something!

Clearly most apps will install and run without issue. I found two (Taker and Opera Mobile) that would not. Problem solved: head on over to the PlayStore (you can use the YalpStore directly on the NST/G) and install ZipSigner. Copy your non-installing apk files to the NST/G and run ZipSigner. Select the input file (eg. Opera_Mobile_12_1_Generic_Opera_Armv5v7.apk) and essentially everything else can be accepted with defaults.

A new copy of the apk file is generated with a new signature that

will

allow installation and

will

run on FW 1.2.2!!!!! And it's so easy :D

At least it works for Tasker and Opera Mobile. YMMV.

Of course, if you want to update to FW 1.2.2 to maintain B&N function or to avoid potential misbehavior when B&N servers can't be contacted, you will have to start from stock...alas.

I have updated my original post on adapting NookManager to work with 1.2.2: https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/nst-nstg-fw-1-2-2-update-t3785566
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I'm not sure about all of the compatibility issues with APK signing.

There was somebody who was having problems with SHA-1 signing not working on some software on some device.

At some point I switched signing my apps with MD5 to signing with SHA-1.

I've never had a problem installing those apps on my NST.

jarsigner.exe -digestalg SHA1 -sigalg SHA1withRSA -storepass [i]mysecret1[/i] -keypass [i]mysecret2[/i] [i]myapp[/i] [i]mystore[/i]

Signatures are additive. If you want to strip them you could use a ZIP tool or the unsign.exe tool in my signature.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ragenrok:
Start of the story, this phone was my wifes but the micro USB port failed and would no longer charge. I got her a new phone and purchased the micro usb port for this G4, after talking to 5 phone repair shops they all refuse to touch this ohone due to the micro USB port being hard to soder back on so I said **** it and did it myself. Amazingly it works but I must of damaged the mic because now people cant hear me at all in phone conversations (either in earpiece of speaker mode). But when I record video the mic used for that works great so:

Is there a way to use to camera MIC for phone calls instead? Currently im using a headset (well earbuds+mic) for phone calls and it works but its a pain in the butt to always have them with me/plugged in.

TDLR: im stupid, broke mic during a repair and need to use camera mic instead

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berkaycant:
Hello everyone,

I'm using General Mobile 4G(Clon of the Wileyfox Swift) I was using Wileyfox Swift Stock Rom and the Camera app was really good, sharper and more detailed images, also takes photos quickly. It was also good at whatsapp camera, instagram snaps, snapchat camera etc.

I've just installed crDroid ROM and its Camera app isn't as good as Stock Wileyfox's. I found Stock Swift's .apk and installed it but even if I can take photos at the same quality as it was with Camera app, Whatsapp, instagram and Snapchat cameras aren't as good as they were and the difference is really big. So, I'm in search of the ways to make Stock Wileyfox Swift Camera app as my Phone's default system camera app. Need your help.

Thank you :o
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Lord Juggelmann:
Hello guys,

so I had installed RROS 8.1 on my Honor 9 STF-L09, but capacitive buttons and flashlight didn't work, so i decided to roll back to B120 via HWOTA in recovery, I think I chose a wrong stock recovery image so there went something wrong and the phone won't boot up..

It was stuck at the Bootloader unlocked - Your device is booting now... screen, I only can access fastboot mode.

I've already tried every unbrickng method I know. First I tried to unbrick it via Multitool and stock firmware and recovery but this didn't help, I did just get another screen where I was stuck(Error mode: func11: recovery , load failed or sth like that). I also tried flashing TWRP but it doesn't work, it says it was successfully installed, just like with multitool, but i am still stuck. Also tried flashing Stock recovery image and then using dload sd card method but it won't even go to Emui restoring screen.. I actually just tried to flash all the important image files from update.APP (which I know how to flash via fastboot), but it didn't do anything. After trying again via Multitool I am again stuck at the 'unlocked screen'.

If somebody could help i would be so thankful, I don't know what to do now.. THANK YOU

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] oslo83:
Which region ? C432 ?

Which version B36x ?

With which HWOTA ? 'HWOTA 8 to 7 rollback' ?

Which one ?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Lord Juggelmann:
Yes, C432, i installed it on B363 bur don't know if it was the same at RROS.

Now that you ask I'm not that sure it could also have been the mistake that I maybe used HWOTA7 which I used to upgrade to Oreo B363. I tried to rollback to B130.

It was a STF_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img Recovery I think it actually was the Nougat version but could have also been oreo...

Actually this Battery sign pops up everytime I shut it down when I try to boot(just not with fastboot), even if plugged in but then it works after a few seconds. I asked Multitool for Battery voltage in fastboot and got this answer: ...

to restore it.

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] HandyBesitzer:
Hey,

i have the Nokia 8 with pure android and i got that feeling that there are some "secret" apps. For example in Spotify there is an option called equalizer. and when i do some cool changes there it does not only affect Spotify but all sounds. On my old phone with Lineage OS there was an stand alone equalizer app installed and when i open the Spotify equalizer option this app was opened. So i wonder if the stock android has an on board equalizer, too and how would i open it without Spotify?

Another "secret" app is the weather app from google. I have that google widget on the homescreen that tells me what date it is and if there is anything in my calendar for today (hopefully it will do that i added it today and there where no entry for today) And somewhen (don't know why) there was in addition weather information and when i clicked on it it opened a google weather app. But i cannot find that app from the app drawer.

Hopefully some of you can help me with those apps. I'm absolutely new to pure android. Before the android versions were always modified by HTC or Lineage,...
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] djpimpek:
You can download shortcut for equalizer in Google Play store. I think the same with weather app

Hello all!

I have bought the Apple Carplay Dongle with the app called AutoPlay. (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B076D2BP4S) The App and the dongle have the newest version.

The problem is that the head unit will start completely new or the connection get lost to the device. I tried several devices (iPhone 5S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone X) - I also changed the lightning cable.

The usb from my device is working. Maybe I do something wrong?

I used a XTRONS, Android 8, Octa-Core, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM device.

Some suggestions would be great.

looks like you have the carlinkit dongle like mine, you may need to update firmware on box. I got the latest box firmware from alliexpress selleer ( as per time of this post )

install instuctions

1) format a USB drive as FAT32

2) place img file in root of USB

3) plug dongle into andorid unit ( do not put in USB yet )

4) open app

5) once app asks you to connect phone, plug in USB drive into dongle.

6) you will get message on app saying box updating.

7 ) finally check setting menu in APP to see box and software up to date ( you will need to be connected to WIFI for this I belive)
