@Renate ... wow are you using a NST/G with that kepad ?

bluetooth on OTG ?

almost all of us mere mortals ... you are in a league of your own !!!

we get excited at small and petty things like these ... :D ...

Well thanks to @nmyshkin and all his help and enthusiasm ...

Our Barnes and Noble NST/G's have been launched in direct competition to Amazon's Kindle device, both entities sell books and probably have brick and mortar book stores as well.

I know this whole modding/tinkering scene for our NST/G's is to achieve something no one had imagined ... of course that is very exciting and i was ll hooked into that scene until now ... but what i noticed is beyond achieving those modds and hacks, and speaking for myself, i seldom used those cool enhancements, nevertheless every bit was exciting and thrilling,

After @nmyshkin 's ... NookManager in Stealth mode gave me a simple and novel idea which i have been trying to test ...

I want to reposition our devices NST/G's as pure reading devices, having said that besides being able to access and transact at Barnes and Nobles book store one should be able to use Kindle book ecosystem and be able to effortlessly read from both providers ...

I would consider @nmyshkin 's achievement by way of his Readning Now(RN) what i consider as my that idea having materialized.

Now given our devices have a full android Layer unlocked beneath, I would want one to be able to access and experience those goodies as well. Given I am a small time UI/UX designer I want the whole process flow as simple and seamless as possible ... the simplicity part @nmyshkin has already been achieved with his NookManager Stealth version, I am just trying to further simplify the UI / UX of the device with minor adjustments with @nmyshkin 's assistance and your inputs (@Renate )

On the surface I want this device to be a primary reading device more of "A HYBRID OF NOOK&KINDLE" ... at first glance ... and ... with a fully functional android layer with apps underneath by way of the "App Drawer" and 'NTMM' implementation. With this setup this device feels so light it almost feels like B&N had designed it, as there are no distractions(which usually the Home Launcher would show) and no visual overheads of a home launcher and the process flow that it accompanies, which my previous setup had it all ... while 'ADW' had a good visual aesthetic but costly overheads compared to 'Relaunch' ... the "App Drawer" according to me got the job done the best and simplest !!!

I am getting late to work ... will be in touch privately with you @Renate and @nmyshkin over DM's to explore how else i can simplify and improve the UI and UX of our device.

Cheers.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
Sorry, no. I'm using a $70 Walmart 8" LCD tablet. Until the 7.8" Glow B&N hasn't had Bluetooth.

You could use a custom USB HID device on OTG. A standard numeric keypad could give you control but it only goes to the foreground app.

You need something that a service can grab for its exclusive use, hence custom HID.

I appreciate the frugality of using a 10 year old device, but when my last gas fill-up was $160 I might as well own a current device.

(I mean my Onyx Poke3, not the Walmart tablet.)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
@nmyshkin Wow ... finally a customizable RN_Menu

Lets say i want the following 6 apps in the Menu ... should my Menu txt file have the following ?

Apps - (JakedUp.AppDrawer)

Nook Now - (com.bn.nook.library)

Kindle Now - (com.amazon.kindle)

eBookDroid Now - (com.ebookdroid)

FastMode2 - (com.FastMode2)

Refresh - (com.lggfc.nookclearscreen)

the 'LAST_BOOK' for the default nook reader is understandable but will that make sense to the other apps as well ? or should we drop the 'LAST_BOOK'
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
@nmyshkin in Wow ... finally a customizable RN_Menu

I have my menu prepared for 6 items ... same attached ...

1. Is the above Menu.txt contents in the last post accurate ?

2. Now how do i tell the app to pick the 6 menu item images ?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
No, you've got it jumbled. You only need the "am broadcast blah-blah" ONCE. That's for opening the last-read book in the stock Reader. The "monkey business" is for starting

other

apps. So you need five of those.

Edit: check back with post #50 where I have reworked the example for preparing menu.txt. The app can tell which menu size by counting the number of shell commands.

I've muffed the corner transparency a tad but won't be home most of the day to fix it. Should be a simple "install over".

Edit: your icons for FastMode and CleanScreen are pretty similar. Hard choice, I know. I'm attaching icons I used for these processes in QuickTiles. They are not in the same style as yours so not much good to you, but they might get you thinking along other lines to maybe come up with something different.

OK, gotta go. Will fix the app later tonight or tomorrow morning.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
Oh ok, I have made amends as below ... now my Menu.txt reads as follows ... and it works fantastic @nmyshkin !!!

1. I believe the hot area has extended and covers the 'notification' icon ... touching it does not bring up the notification drop down, however thanks to your design, long pressing the hot area provides access to the same ... I was wondering if thehot area could be limited to the area of the RN icon ... do we need it wide ? ... we are habituated to touching the small RN area, the hot area if limited to that icon area should not affect RNMenu in anyway ... does it ?

2. I tried some tweaks ... I tried to make the menu a little wider, i was hoping it would go closer to the 'back' button but instead, the menu got compressed horizontally and the text and icon got compressed too ... not that its a requirement, but i just tested if a wider or shorter menu dimensions would get accepted, but turns out there is some sort of constraint there, just saying ... :)

3. Long Press ...... TICK

4. Depending on the number of commands the respective menu gets used for the RNMenu ...... TICK

5. Flicking to exit RNMenu ...... TICK

I was wondering if there was a version of Clear Screen that does not run as a service and reside in the notification area ... the notification icon is a little distracting ... com.lggfc.nookclearscreen ... has a service that is active and the notification reads as 1 at all times ...

@nmyshkin ... your bag of tricks certainly made my life so much more easier, your contributions to NST/G in the form of NookManager Stealth Mode, RNMenu, Settings, Dictionary just changed the way i use my device currently ... can't thank you enough !!!

Look forward to your bag of tricks ...
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Well, that got my attention! I checked the hot spot and it exactly covers the status bar "read now" button area, but you are correct, somehow the touch area for notifications is blocked. You can pull down the notification window with a swipe (or close it), but I need to try to figure out what is happening there or, failing that, do some kind of work-around. Darn, I wish I had known about that before I released this...

Now you see? I knew someone would ask about that so before I left this morning I edited the release post to say "no changing size". This one I am positive about. There can never be a way to do that. Users cannot customize the menu template size. Oh, I suppose I could write in a bunch of pre-made options, but I'm not going to.

I thought we thrashed out the size business already! What's up with you?!

I'm really not that familiar with that app but aren't there two of them, one being settings? When I worked it into QuickTiles as an option it seems to me you could turn off the notification. I'll have to take a look at what I did there tomorrow as well as investigate the status bar notification thing. And fix the corner transparency....
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
my bad, seems i missed out the finer points ...

don't go hard on yourself, its not that bad especially given you had already thought about the possible controls around that area and designed the long-press temporary suspend that resumes after one minute. so no love lost there ... If not for 'Clear Screen' notification i wouldn't have figured there was an overlap.

yes you are right, that was a resuse of the refresh icon, I've added 'F2' to the icon which probably isn't legible given the overall icon size. On second thoughts i kind of chose to drop the Fast Refresh for now as i didn't see any use for it. As you must've have noticed by now I am repositioning my NST/G purely as a reading device, with Nook(defaulting) to EPUB, Kindle handling MOBI and eBookdroid managing PDF, my circle of life is complete, Fast2Mode isn't really of any use in ebooks, its more useful for browser to scroll pages, and we all know browsing isn't really an activity that NST/G's handles good enough i thought I'd lay Fast2Mode to rest from RNMenu, however others might find it a worthy contender to have it in RNMenu.

I like the running line figurine for the Fast2Mode Icon, If you have the original image without BG transparency please attach the same so I'll recreate it for you and the community to use ...

I really would like to get rid of that notification ... keeps the topbar clean and tidy ... any other clear screen app that has the ability to turn the notification off is certainly welcome.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Yeah, and I think I saw something like that during development when transferring files via FTP, but I dismissed it as some kind of weird fluke, so my bad.

Here's what I've learned about that (and I've updated the posting of the new app version). The notification drawer is a curious thing. It can "always" be opened or closed with a grand up or down swipe, although sometimes you accidentally get one of the apps on your screen to fire up instead... When there are no notifications, the touch-sensitive area is adjacent to the "back" button, not where the notification number would be shown (in fact, sort of between those areas). When a notification number

is

showing the touch-sensitive area is extended over the notification number, but a tap between that and the "back" button (maybe closer to the "back" button)

will

open the drawer. I don't think there is any way for me to address this. Only a blocking overlay will work here and there seems to be some odd "leakage" around it, although I've never seen that with QuickTiles.

I thought about placing another overlay where the notification number is but I could not find a shell command which would open and close the drawer. There are lots of them out there, but they must all be for later versions of Android.

So...it's a matter of relearning. The drawer

is

accessible, even using this app, but the tap zone is shifted a little (or you can try the swipe).

Or in larger pdfs. If you want anything, you want NoRefresh, not FastMode. Fastmode displays text really poorly. I use NoRefresh with the browser when reading text-only news or even XDA, and also with EBookDroid when I have a magazine or similar which is on continuous vertical page mode.

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't think and was in a rush. I removed the transparency and replaced the images.

I also hate annoying notifications. You can turn that one off in the Settings app that comes with NookClearScreen. It still seems to work, although I confess I've never been sure. I must have enchanted devices because I have never seen any reason for such an app. Only when developing in Tasker (which is unfortunately dark-themed) and other such fooling around do I accumulate screen crud, but it goes away in one or two screen changes and I just ignore it. Otherwise, the screen generally looks pretty good to me.

Anyway, turn off the notification and see if the app still appears to work for you.

I have updated the app in the zip package with one that corrects for my bad flub on the corner transparency of the menus. You should just be able to install right over the previous one.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
Yeah, can live with that ... the notification hot area is moved to the right(a missed target)

Ah ! ... you are right 'norefresh' is what i wanted but got confused with FastMode ...

am i missing something ? ... i don't see any clear screen settings app ... 🤔
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Seems like it. See screenshots below.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
hahahahaha ... seriously i don't have that app Nook CS Config app ...

Where can i download the app you have on your device ... ?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Here.
[Android Head-Units] khisanthax:
I got this wonderful new unit and it works really well except a few things, mainly the Bluetooth sucks. I'm trying to get info from the maker of I can use bt for other things than the phone but I probably won't get the answer I want. There's a bt setting but no on or off switch and scanning doesn't do anything for me, it's completely frozen. Anyone know if there is a USB Bluetooth I can just plug in to work?
[Android Head-Units] velocity4:
Thanks for the review:)
[Android Head-Units] bluemind497:
Thanks for sharing. Really great system. Huge improvement over A6. I would like to buy it and experience new features. Especially BT 5.0 with aptX.

Part 2 of my review, this time installed in the car, with a better demonstration of gesture controls.

[Android Head-Units] Dajaka2013:
I know is a great unit but one question, how did you make the steering wheel controls to work?
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
If your car's steering wheel controls are a simple resistance circuit (my car was in this category), then you should be able to connect your steering wheel control wires directly to the ATOTO harness. If you are trying to get this working with ATOTO, I can help if your car is like mine. But if your car is not simple resistance, then you will need to buy and external adapter (PAC SW1-RC is a common one). Can you give more details about what problems you have encountered?
[Android Head-Units] traroberts:
Hey Croak. I'm having an issue to where the EQ changes preset modes on its own (i.e. from classical to rock, etc.). Any suggestions? This is very frustrating, to say the least!

Hi, my atoto a6 pro no longer lets me go into settings it crashes, I did a reset and nothing, I did a firmware update and nothing, I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and nothing, how can I fix it? Help me.....
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sparkotronic:
Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help me with what looks like a self caused issue on my P9.

My phone was running EVA-L19C185B401 but I was having an issue where my when using the camera, occasionally the phone would die on low battery even though there was plenty of battery, the only way to recover from this was to plug the phone in and restart.

This problem became apparent on the last firmware upgrade, so as an experiment I attempted to roll it back.

The phone is now running EVA-L19C185B300 but most of the stock apps have vanished including the camera which is the reason I bought the thing!

The keyboard had also vanished but I got round this by plugging in a usb keyboard.

Does anyone know of a version of firmware that will restore my missing apps?

Huawei Tech Support are being as useful as a chocolate spoon.

Thanks in advance, Colin
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
Rebrand to C432 and start from scratch. search the topics on how to do it please. All the info you need is here. Dont focus on how to restore the camera but focus on how to rollback on MM version and upgrade it to the latest one.

About battery:

Because this phone is 2 years old, most likely your battery is dead and thats why it was shutting down when you could have even 90%. Or even when you turn on the camera is freezing and dies.

It happens to the best of us and 90% of the Huawei owners after excessive use ,charge,recharge because every battery has a specific range of recharging circles .

In this case you have to replace the battery.

If you dont have warranty on your phone due to unlocked bootloader, root, etc order a battery from eBay.

Ill go for something like this since it has pentalobe screwdriver https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATTERIA-O...381064&hash=item25e864e8dc:g:ZdcAAOSw3EVbI6CS

(Thats an example and you can search others but make sure you buy a pentalobe screwdriver and picks) the procedure was easy for me just follow that guide step by step.

If you have guaranty u better give it to your nearest Huawei store but expect to get it delayed.

Thats all i can suggest you.

Good luck on your research and restoring your device.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sparkotronic:
Hi, after may hours of feeling like a numpty, I can find no way of doing what you suggested.

I've gotten as far as unlocking my bootloader and installing TWRP.

I cant seem to find a version of SuperSU that works with my phone.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

All I really want to achieve is to install a rom that has the Huawei Stock camera app?

No matter what I try, it seems I can't get away from EVA-L19C185B300.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
wrong post sorry
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sparkotronic:
Do you need to use a particular version of Magisk?

I tried with Magisk-v16.6 and all it seems to do is cause my phone to get stuck in a boot loop i.e. the Huawei splashscreen just starts to appear and the phone crashes, it'll keep doing this till I reinstall EVA-L19C185B300.

Cheers, Colin
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
sorry my mistake i though your post was about honor 10.

The same though applies for your device , check here in general forum how to rollback your device on earlier version like marshmallow and then reupdate it to the latest Nougat one.

Switch to c432 is better for you
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sparkotronic:
All the guides I see tell you to install EVA-L19C185B300, which is what I have, then flash EVAL19C185B210.

This stops after 5% and says there is a compatibility error, think I'll just need to accept that I've messed up my phone and just use it in its rather diminished capacity, tbh, it actually works better, it's only the camera app I miss, if I could root the damn thing I could install the camera APK.

Hey ho, thanks anyways.

Just need to start saving up for a P20 now haha
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
No no there is nothing you did that is terminal for your device. Rollback to marshmallow please and update, update , update r. Im coming back from my bands 6 day tour tomorrow. Ill be more than glad to help you fix the problem once i am back. I cant do it from the phone cause my fingers are like bricks after playing guitar so many hours.

PS: Think about the cheaper option i ended up as well. Honor 10 :D

Im a big supporter for this device!!! Amazing on everything :D
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
https://xdaforums.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091

ok with a quick search follow this guide please. Return to stock recovery before everything to rollback. After you roll back update to latest version and then we will find out which magisk Root will work . The important thing is to be safe without bricking your device and have your camera back.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sparkotronic:
Thanks matey, I had tried the roll back, it's this that seems to have mucked the phone up.

I completed the 1st step, going back to EVA-L19C185B300.

Bizarrely, I tried the rollback steps again tonight and it worked!

I'm now on Android 6 EMUI 4.1.2 and all the stock apps are back :D

I'm not quite sure what went on as I had tried the steps in the link before, it was the Update.app file in that link that rolled me back to B300.

I used the Firmware Finder App on Android Play store to find the B220 Firmware and hey presto!

I'm a happy, happy boy now.

Thanks for the info and help, hope your hands are returning back to normal after the tour :)

Colin
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
glad to hear you solve your problem :)

Sorry for not responding fast enough but you acted smart as well with firmware finder ;)

Congrats :)

EVA L19 is not much different from L09 but it can be pain in the bum as well when it comes to rollback
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bilal2912112:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyDePain:
Hello, I would like to "update" the emojis of my tablet Asus ZenPad 7.0 Z370C Android Lollipop 5.0.2. I know this is possible with root but I will want to know if there is any way that I need to root my tablet. I have FlipFont on my tablet and I saw that I could change the appearance of emojis through this.

Advices?

Thx for your help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
The files that you need to modify to change emojis are system file , so you require root to modify them.

But some OEMs make apps with some that can modify this without root ( like Samsung etc).

Flip Font is the app for Samsung devices , but I don't think it will work on others devices. But you can always give it a try.

My advice is to root your device with magisk and install the magisk module called EmojiOne, this will update your emojis to Android Oreo

I bought a new bluetooth headset with APTX, but unfortunately the Huawei Mate 10 Pro phone doesn't work properly with it. If I use the equalizer bass boost in any MP3 player, the sound becomes distorted. I can choose only SBC or APTX bluetooth audio codec on the developer settings and this fault is present in both settings.

The headset works perfectly with other types of devices, for example Huawei P7 with Android 6, Samsung Tab A6 with Androud 7.0 and Huawei P20 Pro with Android 8.1.

Did anyone else experience same thing?

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Luinwethion:
What version are you running? (Kernel compilation date) this was solved for the European variant a few months ago already.

Anywho yeah you only will be able to choose between SBC and aptx since EMUI doesn't support AAC yet. (Even though the Huawei free Buds supposedly works with AAC ?).

My phone improved Bluetooth quality with an update that came around begining of begining of April and it was released to everyone around May, it was the B137 for C432 (European variant), and I think it got better now with the B142 (may/June update).

Try to see on firmware finder if there is an update available for your phone, and if you can force the ota, cuz this should've been solved long ago.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] GozoHU:
My phone (C432 too) has B142 firmware. I refreshed it last week from B135.

Now the build number of my phone is BLA-L09 8.0.0.142(C432)

I must wait the official upgrade, otherwise I will lose the guarantee.

The B145 update has arrived on official way. But it is nothing change. The bluetooth fault is present yet. :(
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Luinwethion:
Tried resetting the phone back it its default?

Every update I made wasn't via OTA it was a clean install via funky Huawei, so idk if this matters.

Send your phone to repair if it doesn't get better
