I used "www.Onlinesim.ru/en" to get a sms verification to get a vivo cloud account. I purchased 51 credits ($1.04 worth) and used a Chinese mainland number for use with the "telegram" option. The sms verification was pretty quick and allowed me to verify my account. I was also able to bind my personal email account with vivo cloud.

Does the fingerprint sensor work after changing the launcher?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] aw1007:
Yes,is still working.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Mittu66:
Just to clarify, will changing the launcher on the nex S wont affect the in-display fingerprint recognition function?

Also I'm struggling to set-up a vivo account. Can someone be kind enough to provide me with a public account log in.

I've tried a virtual sim website (onlinesim.ru) which didn't work.

... you can probably tell I'm new to all this.

any assistance would be appreciated
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] NOLA Ragin Cajun:
I tried doing exactly that, but the Vivo registration page told me (translated): "The mobile phone number has a security risk, please change your mobile phone number to register or contact the official customer service." Got the same response for *dozens* of generated numbers to no avail. So it seems that site uses commonly blacklisted numbers (at least to Vivo) :(
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] xreactx:
Vivo registration page? Are you using the vivo cloud app or an actual webpage?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] NOLA Ragin Cajun:
Ah, that did it! I was trying on a web page thinking it was all the same, but using the app everything worked perfectly. Thanks a ton for the tips! Well on the way to making my Chinese variant closer to the international one :)

I still don't know which one it is. The best option is to make a vivo cloud account with an online sms verification.

Hong Kong/ Global model

I've Bought and sold 6 of these phones. Used both the standard model and the Global model (aka Hong Kong model) . The Global version is the one you want, and is definitely worth paying extra for!

Its only available in black, and depending on the variant will come with a UK 3 pin Vivo 23W fast charger.

I originally had the standard 256gb model. Had a friend in china to help activate it with their phone number (vivo no longer hand out public acc because the global version is available). I changed the launcher and made a few other tweaks, but the phone didnt feel seamless to use. You could still tell its a china market phone: Permanent chinese bloatware, some chinese menus, vivo funtouch launcher overlayed with a third party launcher... I accepted it for what it was until I switched on a global version!

Difference between global version compared to the standard model:

Setup, interface, Launcher, keyboard, all revamped by Vivo for western market

Everything is in English

UK 3-pin charger

No Chinese apps, bloatware or menus (nothing to indicate its an import)

Chinese sim number not required to activate phone features or lift software restrictions

Side button is dedicated to Google assistant and can be modded.

Google services heavily intergrated into system, like any decent Android phone

UI is more far more streamlined than standard version.

The global version feels like its from a UK phoneshop. Zero alteration needed. Buttery smooth out of the box... Worth the extra ££.

i tried to ask for the public account to the vivo customer service but i also got that "later this year" answer.

please... to the ones making the adb disable... could you give more detailed steps? when i connect my phone to computer and try "adb devices" ... its not in the list...

also i kindly ask for a good heart to private msg me about the public account details... i understand and respect the forum rules not allowing to post in the forum the log/pass, but i hope someone can send me a msg.

thanks a lot in advance for the help
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] blackinfinity:
The new solution for global users who want to change launcher will be able to do that in october. That is what vivo told me they do not give out public accounts anymore.

Anyway.. this whole limitation is just stupid..and just amde to upset people..its the first device I have been using that you cant change your launcher!

So the option right now is to disable the funtouch launcher with this method in this thread, it is working for people who tried it. Require no root I will try it myself once I have been reading the whole thread since I dont have much experience with adb.

https://xdaforums.com/nex/how-to/guide-vivo-nex-s-apps-safe-to-uninstall-t3813308
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] blackinfinity:
I can also confirm that this method work flawlessly, its actually very easy if you just read the short guide provided in the first post. feels good to now have Rootless Pixel Launcher installed now I feel more at home.

Now I can without any stress try to delete stuff one by one that irritate me.

My next goal is hopefully to be able to remove Jovi, I am still awaiting for people to come back with feedback if we cant remove this stately, or if it will break stuff

Disclamier

: maybe someone already got it work in this way, I don't know, I just found this method.

I want to share a workaround I found that lets you enable substratum themes on Android P beta.

I am currently using Pixel with Android P Beta 3 and Magisk 16.4

It's pretty simple:

- Install substratum

- Install a theme

- Compile something you want (if there is a choice, "Android Oreo" or "8.1" should work good enough)

- Go to /sdcard/.substratum

- Copy the theme you just created

- Paste it in /system/app with any root file manager

- Reboot

- Enable theme in substratum overlays

- Done

Be careful, most probably systemui related themes can cause crash, since this is android 9 and you're installing android 8.x themes.
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
We already knew about this implementation and was already implemented since March on our internal betas.

We were holding back so that Google doesn't patch it that easily once the final previews drop.

Users and themers who use this method will use it at their own risk. Future updates of subs may or may not list these overlays because we will use a different but similar method to keep track of our overlays (for "uninstall all").

An XDA portal post will be released soon with the P beta in their hands, and afterwards it will be public released by our current maintainer - [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION].

So I joined the beta group and went to install in Google store and this is what I'm seeing????never gave the option to install?View attachment 4538775
[prjkt.io] SohamD:
Uhh I think you just did the opposite and removed yourself from the beta :eek: That's why it's asking you to downgrade the app by reinstalling.
[prjkt.io] MArtyChubbs:
on beta build 999 and cannot install sai's overlays on the ui or swift black for the apps. Any idea what I am missing?
[prjkt.io] gvsukids:
I'm using beta 999, Mine says "can not fall back to rooted mode".
[prjkt.io] MArtyChubbs:
This works: beta 998 and pitch black... Any pie compatible theme
[prjkt.io] gvsukids:
Not working for me. Also won't boot back up without going through twrp
[prjkt.io] blewko:
Don't work for me too, I compile theme and nothing change
[prjkt.io] xSilas43:
Thanks for sharing this is working for me on 9.0 official, who knows then the subs app is going to get updated to work so this is a great workaround in the mean time!
[prjkt.io] docluv01:
Can you guys tell me which themes your using for this? I tried using swift dark but no go. Maybe I shouldn't try the systemUI ones?
[prjkt.io] MArtyChubbs:
There are a few themes that are already compatible with pie but not as complete as Swift black. First, i have not tested myself but version 998 is what I have installed and is rumored to be only version compatible with pie. I went to apkmirror and downloaded it, so I would check in substratum that you are on version 9 9 8. I like pitch black (pie compatible) as my themer of the system UI. And I also use it to theme the apps it supports. And it's fine to use Swift black for everything but the system UI, but you have to follow steps outlined below . The problem I think everyone's having with swift black is you have to then an enable the overlays manually as it does not do it via the substratum app automatically when building. So follow these steps until its pie compatible: build, reboot, now enable each SB overlay then you are good to go. Good luck ?
[prjkt.io] bigv5150:
Victory works well it has Android 9 as an option now. I also use Swift dark for apps only system doesn't theme. Also Valerie but it has an issue when you activate the system theme you don't get notifications.
[prjkt.io] ydd0ras:
Guys I have two devices with P: Xiaomi RN4x with AOSP 9 and a Xiaomi Mi A1 with semi 9 (PR1). On A1 i can use the method mentioned in OP. But on the other device that doesn't work, because there are no entries in /sdcard/.substratum, but directly in /system/app. After a reboot the files disapeared. Using 998 on both.

Any idea?
[prjkt.io] MArtyChubbs:
The method in the OP is outdated. See recent comments as you can theme without workaround
[prjkt.io] meistr91:
Just enable show hidden files in your file explorer.

I have read all thread no one mentioned other steps jow to do it.

Plus when i copy overlays to system/app after reboot it disapear.. but I just pasted them in to system/app without folder. But I have set permission to rw-r-r.
[prjkt.io] TENN3R:
The method I discovered is now outdated, I know, but since substratum is now compatible with Pie officially you just need the app, I used 998 beta from telegram channel and it always worked just fine. Now that v1001 is 100% updated to work with final Pie, this process in OP isn't necessary anymore :good:
[prjkt.io] SMS786:
Confirmed to be working just fine with Pie [emoji108]

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Phoque_You:
Hi all,

I'm new to MIUI, trying to adapt myself to this new system interface. I am curently on MIUI 9.5.19 .

I am aware that it might be a really dumb question, but I searched through google and in Xda forum and I can't find where is the Autofill option in Parameters. It seems Google autofill is active because sometimes it works... I would like to change the autofill app to set Bitwarden by default which is much better in my opinion.

Can someone please say me how I can do that ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] noahthedominator:
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-autofill-android-oreo

Auto fill was added to android in 8.0 and is directly through the OS. From my understanding there is no way to set "bitwarden" as your default auto fill tool.

As soon as you login to a website/app you should see a prompt from the OS to save your password. Click save. Next time you login, it will auto fill.

This works for me and has worked for quite some time.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Phoque_You:
Thank you for your answer :).

My previous phone was a OnePlus 3, and I flashed different Android Oreo and OxygenOS rom on it. Theses ROMs all had an option in "Language and input" (something like that) in Settings, in which I could set another Password autofill app. I will keep searching, maybe it's (really) well hidden somewhere in Settings.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] noahthedominator:
I use google keyboard (GBOARD) on my device and cannot find any option in settings AND in GBOARD preferences to change the default autofill service. Other keyboards may allow you to do this, I am not sure.

Best of luck! :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
For me it's working with Lastpass, just search in the search bar in settings app for autofill. On xiaomi.eu miui 9 rom it's under settings->additional settings-> language and input -> autofill-service. Phone language is german so I don't know if I translated correctly^^
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] grootooter:
In global ROM the menu is missing, you cannot chose autofill service. Still waiting for unlock to install .eu ROM :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] jhs39:
You could install LastPass as a workaround. When you go into settings in LastPass and click Autofill it opens the MIUI Settings Screen for Autofill in the Global ROM. Once MIUI Autofill Settings opens you can choose Google or LastPass and there is a + option for adding a different service.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] noahthedominator:
OP see attached!!

This is on the latest miui 10 beta 8.7.5 dev global.

I was able to set auto fill service to my password manager (enpass) and can confirm it works!

Hello, I flashed beta version of Chinese MIUI 10 on my MiNote2 and now computer can't detect my phone in any mode (ADB, masstorage, fastboot, even EDL). I tried to switch USB ports, PCs (I tried to connect it to 4 PCs), only one thing working is charging. I can't even see phone in Device Manager on Windows, it's behaving like it isn't even connected. The main problem is that Chinese ROM also replaced TWRP by some Chinese recovery, so I can't flash any kind of ROM. Do you have any ideas how solve this problem guys?

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] odtech:
Hi All.

My dad passed away and the task fell to me to look through his electronics for important documents.

I managed to unlock his sim by using the puk code but the phone has a secondary pin which i have no clue what it is. I tried to use the google "Find my Device" site to give the phone a temp unlock pin but the service reports it won't instate the temp pin because the phone already has a lock set up.

Is there a way to force the android device manager to accept the temp pin from Find my Device or maybe another way around the pin?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] nic85:
Anyone knows why the 4k are not stabilized? due to not enough power of the Chipset?

Also, ifixit says all the 3 cameras are optical stabilized, so it makes it more weird!

come on Huawei!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
They aren't. Only the zoom lens is stabilized.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] inepty:
I think it's a reasonable assumption to make that CPU and/or GPU performance is the reason - they offer last year's flagship performance. I'm surprised it can't even stabilize 1080p at 60FPS, though, and I hope that's added in a future release.

Ultimately, this is not a huge issue for me personally because I can hold the camera steady enough, and Google Photos has a stabilization function that you can use (although it will, of course, crop your video) but it's an appreciable deficiency for sure. Video recording on this device is unexceptional - it's at least a generation behind the competition.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Slash8915:
Not according to the teardown video.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Weren‘t there a feg articles that explained that the lenses are just stored floating?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] nic85:
they could at least use EIS for 4k as well tho..
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Apoxx:
The chipset performance is no excuse. It basically performs the same as the Snapdragon 835, and most devices with that one can do 4K stabilized.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Nothing to do with Kirin pal.

At all.

This is a software implementation, could be added at any time.

Give them time..

You are right it should have been from the off, it'll happen, it has OIS according to a tear down reviewer.

See what happens..

The Kirin I've been surprised at, it ran Tekken 6 at a solid 60 FPS, which is hard for a mobile CPU/GPU

It's no slouch
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] daniel_loft:
Hello,

I want to start by excusing myself for asking such a question. Probably some will tell me to just start trying ROM's. To those I would say that I don't want to spend days trying different ROM's when others have the answers already.

I like to customize my phone and I was very happy with my setup (OxygenOS, Magisk, Xposed, GravityBox, Flat Style Bar Indicators) until my several apps (including banking) started disliking Xposed. So now I am only left with OxygenOS, Magisk and a very limited number of customizations. This made me think about the possibility of getting back in the game of using a custom ROM, most probably LineageOS, which I used and liked for many years on my previous phones.

As I was saying, I don't want to waste too much time blindly trying a custom ROM a day, but ask you guys:

Did you feel that when you've switched to a custom ROM you missed something from Oxygen OS? Did you find any functionality that was only working well or correctly in OxygenOS?

I am asking this knowing that for example with smartphones from other OEM's the camera might give worse shots with custom ROM's.

Thanks!
