[Android Apps and Games] David B-E:
At the point I stopped learning French at school back in 1976 I could read it fairly fluently; all these years later, not so much, and Google Translate's version of that review in English is gibberish. But in any case I do understand you find these reviews hurtful. The thing is, you know the frequent internet saying 'don't feed the trolls'? Trolls prowl the internet looking for people they can upset, and say whatever they think will get an upset reaction. You care about your work and your users, Marcel, which is great, and are upset by unfair criticism, which is understandable; but you immediately show that upset, and that acts as a troll-magnet. It's giving them what they want and encouraging more of the same. It is one of the great frustrations of the internet that trolls basically have a free rein to abuse anyone they can get a reaction from. The only thing to do is ignore them, once it's clear someone is a troll, so they get bored and wander off to look for prey elsewhere. Certainly anyone complaining that a beta version has bugs, or a fast development cycle, or an unpolished new feature etc is either a troll or is terminally stupid. If I were you I'd write a cold, clinical single line explanation of what a beta version of software is for, and a suggestion that if that doesn't suit them they shouldn't be signed up to a beta, then just copy and paste that, repeatedly if necessary, as the sole reply to any and all unwarranted complaints about beta releases.

This

It isn't about the absolute Play store rating, but more about having helped people and getting a bad review for it in return. I think I need to reduce my level of support to prevent frustration like this. Unfortunately, this isn't just an incident.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Actually, I asked the guy to uninstall FairEmail and go elsewhere, pointing him to about the most privacy unfriendly email app there is. I leave it to you to guess which one that is.

And of course you are right, but it keeps being frustrating. I am not a robot (as far as I know).
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You are not a robot, of course, but how you know, if you want you can learn to feel like a robot ... ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] 30jp:
Hi Marcel,

My advice is.

1. Leave the Playstore for what it is. Do not look at it again.

2. Comment on important things here on Xda once a week.

3. Make FairEmail and NetGuard better known.

I don't know if you do, but a small example.

I read at Xda LineageOs for microG that there the email app was removed due to privancy issues and someone referred to

Email Apps - Android App Overview

android.izzysoft.de

for another email app.

The person who noticed that the email app had been removed just tried FairEmail.

When you open that site you have no idea which app to choose.

Read on and you are left with K-9 and FairEmail.

That is what you have to depend on. The advice of internet sites that check privacy and give advice.

So I eventually read about FairEmail and NetGuard via the site of

Kuketz IT-Security Blog

IT-Sicherheit | Datenschutz | Hacking

www.kuketz-blog.de

If it was not for the explanation of what NetGuard does and the simple step-by-step setup of the basic settings, I probably would not have started.

Now these happen to be 2 German sites, but I think you can find in Belgium, France, the Netherlands or any other country sites that advise privacy and security of internet, programs or apps.

If you go there with FairEmail and NetGuard, you achieve much more than looking at that Playstore.

Bring your programmes to the attention of those sites and see what they think of your programmes.

Are they good, or do they think there are still areas for improvement or attention?

The people who visit those sites are your real customers.

The nice thing about Xda is that you have contact with people all over the world. Everyone knows of a site or organisation in his or her country that deals with internet/phone privacy and security and gives advice.

How simple it is to ask them to share their knowledge with you.

If I were you, I would shift my attention to this. But also on computer/phone magazines, or other rom's like e or LineageOs microG which now has no email app.

You asked for advice, well this is what came to my mind so quickly.

It could also be that you are already working on this, but I don't know.

Greetings
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Hey @M66B me again! I think I found another small issue. When the order of the messages on screen is changed, for example when marking a message as important, the item decorator aren't updated. If for example you mark as important a message that has a date header, the "new" top message (the message directly below the one that you marked important) doesn't get the proper date header. I tried adding invalidateItemDecorations on the PagedList observer but it didn't work. Surely you can figure it out, thanks in advance!

EDIT: Silly me, I didn't test the right version. Adding invalidateItemDecorations indeed fixes the problem. Add it in the onCurrentListChanged method on AdapterMessage and you should be good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't reproduce this issue in any way. Item decorators should be updated automatically on notify item/data changed and this shouldn't be done "manually".
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
Similar requests had been made multiple times over here, so I believe that we can say that there is indeed significant demand for establishing an "expert mode" whereas most settings are hidden if the expert mode is not enabled.

If you want to appeal to general users and not only to already privacy-minded ones, both hiding multiple settings as well as enabling a skippable "introduction tutorial" will be necessary IMO. I know that you want to avoid it, Marcel, but that probably only works if you solely aim for the niche market of privacy-conscious users. If you want to aim for already privacy-minded users, then I suggest you to stop reading and replying stupid Play Store Reviews as those reviewers are not your user base.

Though, don't take this post as a criticism on your work, but more like a suggestion and a call for you to decide what type of user-base you want to aim for.

In short: if you want to appeal to already privacy-conscious users, keep things as they are, your app is already great as is for that user base. If you want to appeal to general users, then your app is still great but might need to be a bit lighter in settings/options and more "assisting".
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Hello Marcel,

Just a quick message to thank you again for this nice app.

You managed to design and develop from scratch a new emailing app, open source and privacy oriented.

Don't be influenced by bad useless reviews, drop them and take care of you.

You are followed by many people who are glad to use your app.

You could can be proud of your work!

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] charlietron:
Hi there!

I'm looking for an application which allows to remap the EndKey button (the red one) for launching whatever application I want.

I looked for the forum and I found HButton (I don't think it remaps the endkey) and AE Button Plus (this one requires activation).

Does someone know about an application to achive that??

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JNGold:
Since the EndKey is critical to the phone functionality, I don't recommend remapping it.

However, you can assign an application to a EndKey long press. I have mine set to sleep mode.

Yeah, I agree with you, I meant the long press... :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norbix1977:
Hi, my S3 got an encryption issue today, it tells me to reset the phone, so I clicked it and the phone rebooted to TWRP recovery. Everything seemed to be ok, but I got the mount data issue, after that the phone just reboots and I get the encryption unsuccessful message again. There wouldn't be a problem if the volume up button would work, I could normally access TWRP and try to fix it there. Unfortunately it doesn't work, so I can't boot into recovery mode, and to use adb I guess I'd need to to access the phone, what I'm not able to do due to the encryption failure.

Anybody got a solution how I can boot into recovery mode, or fix the issue on other way?

Thanks in advance.

hi, i

I have the same problem, is r.eally don't difficult to solve the issue, but there is so many steps. I´ll try to summaryze:

1) you neet to root the watch: installing root checker from google play and then Kingsroot apk (there are some tutorials to do it)

2) once rooted, install build.prop tool (already on google play too). This tool allows you to edit build prop file

3) you need to find variable ro.sf.hwrotation and change value to 0. Save changes

4) restart watch and problem solved!

Have you tried flashing the TWRP through fastboot that is in the developers section? I think maybe the WW firmware could then be flashed if TWRP is able to be loaded because the WW firmware seems to be in zip/flash format from asus's site.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I wanted to touch base with some previous Dirty Unicorns users for the 2 XL who found another cust Rom they liked better than DU.

Certainly not looking to bash any Roms, or Dev Teams, so leave that stuff out.

Basically, what Rom do you like better, why, how stable, how frequently updated, blah blah blah :D

Thank in advance for the insights.

Edit: I'm not looking to replace DU, per se, but if there is something out there that previous DU users like equally or better, I'd give it a try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shiftr182:
Thats a hard one.... DU is about the most stable that you are going to find. I keep going back to it, but currently I am using unofficial RR. RR unofficial updates pretty frequently, and is pretty stable. Mostly I like having the Lockscreen weather, and Google apps built in (rather than AOSP). I also like MSM Xtended, but it has a few bugs. DU is old faithful though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jlokos:
I have to agree with shiftr182. MSM Xtended is very good and the developer is responsive. I've been using pixel dust with flash kernel. Has lockscreen weather and has been trouble free. AquariOS has also been very good and stable. So far none have the frequent updates like DU.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shiftr182:
The RR unofficial gets updated at least once a week I would guess. Its difficult though, I really prefer AOSP over LOS, but I would like the google dialer and contacts vs aosp. I also really like having weather on my lockscreen. How is Pixel Dust holding up? I tried it when Nittin first built it, then again when fKm posted the thread, but there were still a couple issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jlokos:
I have had no issues with pixel dust on the recent builds (by fKm). It has been very stable. I too prefer AOSP over LOS.

Is there a way this crap ever works? Sometimes auto rotation works but more often not. And HOW can i disable the home screen rotation?

I don't know what all you guys do with custom mods like this. YES, it's fast and it needs less memory. And then? Soooo much silly functions. One would think the developers hate android. Jeez.

And when I have a simple question, nobody have an answer. That's creepy. Autorotation is a PITA. Same as the status bar in fullscreen.

I'm not sure at this point if it must be a app which interfere with this or if it may be also some settings which are not executed in safe mode.

I also tried apps which should allow to access the status bar. But even then, it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
The only type of app I can think of that would stop you pulling down the status bar is one that has the permission to draw over other apps & is constantly running in the background

Hi,

I have two questions which I couldnt seem to find an answer for:

1. Does anyone know the focal length of the camera on the Trinity?

2. Is there a way to save the camera image to TIFF rather than compressed JPG?

Thanks,

James.
[P3600 General] Rudegar:
you can always convert it yourself?
[P3600 General] jamesbest77:
Hi,

Coverting the image back to TIFF is counterproductive since the damage has already been done by then. JPEG's specifies a lossy compression algorithm, and I have found in some cases annoying artifacts appear in my photos.

I was hoping to get ahold of the photo data before this stage, hence the request for the TIFF output directly from the CCD (or even the raw camera data). I'm not even sure what JPEG quality setting has been hard-coded into the camera's jpg encoder.

I anticipate the "its a phone, not a professional camera" reply by someone out there, but if there is a simple(ish) solution out there somewhere, then why not give it a go. :)

Thanks,

James.
