[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wkJason:
Hi, can anyone help direct me to tutorials on how to create a full backup that I can restore to. Can we backup full image of android with personal and app files that can be restored?

My situation is that I like Andromeda substratum theming and on Oreo but is considering upgrading to Pie. I want to create an image or a restore point just in case I want to flash back to Oreo and doesn't want to setup from scratch and loss all my messages, call logs, game save, sideloaded APK etc. Not rooted and preferably do not want to root.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xclub_101:
That is a very logical and good idea, unfortunately not so easy to apply it in real life :(

In theory TWRP could be able to create an exact image of your phone and restore it back but as far as can see the restore part of it is now broken :(

Anyway I assume you are also bootloader locked so TWRP might be of little use, but there MIGHT be remotely similar scripts or scripts+programs that work based on ADB.

Unless you're rooted, this is about as close as you can get:

I made this theme from Ultimate Launch and rlToday.

Although I know rlToday can make buttons, too, I need a separate launcher to replace the small rows of buttons at the very bottom (WM5 New Menu, Phone, Calendar, and Contact)

I want to place it outside of UL so when I spin the UL cube, this last row of buttons don't move. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hotas:
You could use any other launcher like iLauncher. But probably it will not support the same icons or layout options as UL. Alternatively (and if you don't mind that the icons DO move when you move the UL cube) you can use "combined Tabs" in UL. This means you turn every tab of the UL cube into a combined tab. In the upper part every combined tab you put what you have on the UL cube tabs now. To the second, lower part of every combined tab you assign your four bottom icons. So when you move the cube the lower part will also move but will show the same links/icons on very side=tab of the cube. I tried this at least for one tab and I'm not sure if it works with same links/icons on more than one tab. At least for links it should. For today plugins it will not, I think.

Play a little bit with the UL settings and you will find out how if works for you.

Cheers,

Derek.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hotas:
And check out this thread, maybe it can help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=371049
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
I was thinking about that, too. The problem is that if I don't have a lot of icons in one of the cube to fill up the space, the four bottom buttons will move up.

But anyways, I did find Battery Status from that Aurora theme to be pretty useful. I played around with the theme and kinda made it into my own. Now it won't rotate w/ UL
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hotas:
I'm pretty sure you can somehow prevent the buttons from moving up with the UL settings. But anyway, you already made it. I think I will try BS as well.

Cheers,

Hi i hope hope someone can clear a few things up for me i am a bit confused is this the correct forum for mate 10 pro as well as normal mate 10. I have recently purchased mate 10 pro and could not find mate 10 pro in devices i only found this forum. Also in the development section there are not many roms which i find a bit strange because the phone is not very new. Hope someone can help.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
You are in the right pleace, don't worry!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Where are all the roms RR etc
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] okbakaka:
I believe that you are new here and don't know that the huawei phones would not enable us to install stock roms and we are not able now to unlock the bootloader anymore for free lol.

So there is no custom roms dear
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Wtf how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader then I need more information quickly so I can cancel my purchase. Is it impossible to unlock bootloader now
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.

If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.

I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.

Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:

Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.

The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.

So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Kongsbirk:
Hey

I wonder if its possible to record without the camera to zoom. Apparently photo and video is 2 different cameras and then you start to record it will zoom in but if you are using snapchat it wont zoom in when youre recording so it might be possible. Anybody with some good ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Devhux:
It's all in the aspect ratio. Photos are captured in 4:3 aspect ratio, videos are 16:9 so it ends up being a cropped image from the sensor. Snapchat probably uses a different resolution that the native camera app doesn't support.

You could set your photo aspect ratio to 16:9 then you wouldn't see a difference when switching to video mode, but you're also reducing the megapixel count by doing so
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] electricpete1:
if you long press on the record button, it will zoom at the beginning of the long press, but will not start recording until you release the long press. that gives you time to preview the zoom and frame the shot before you begin recording.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ImAlbyy:
I changed the display , the touchscreen of my one plus. The screen is a lcd and not amoled but works perfectly. After 3/4 days by using it , it started to give me some problems and the only way to fix it is going on the twrp and go back on the old backup. The duration of the problem is not the same but change. This problem comes up when i try to open an application, unblock the screen or after ending a call. The screen just go off and doesn't turn on again, if it gets restarted it will work again but once i get the pin screen it only show it for 1 second and then the phone just turn off auto.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alizain2308:
Could be proximity sensor getting blocked. My friend also replaced his screen with an LCD panel. This problem occurs when he calls anyone, so to restored back he uses power button and screen switches on again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Ever since I believe around the 3rd Android 9 beta update, pandora kept crashing on my Android Auto. I was hoping the full "street" version of 9 released yesterday would resolve this but it didnt. I also noticed the screen on my car blacking out at times and then coming back on during android auto. The problem is I can go a song or two on pandora and then it stops and says pandora inaccessible on the screen and then a new song starts playing. Sometimes, it will cut off 3 songs in a row within the first minute of each song. Its really frustrating and I cant tell if its a pandora thing or android auto thing. Used to think it was a beta thing but thats clearly not it anymore.

I do keep my phone in my cupholder area and was wondering if when the proximity or light sensor gets changed in there, would that affect anything? It didnt before, Im just wondering if theres any new settings that could be making that change.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nukeruss:
My original pixel xl did that on the betas but I replaced that phone with a pixel 2 xl over the weekend and I haven't noticed it happening with the new phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
I even tried turning off battery management in the app and lowering the audio quality like I read in a couple other places but neither worked. Its still crapping out and then starting a new song.

Just saw an update from AA so hopefully that works. Ill report back.

Imagine you could control any of your Blynk running device from your wrist. Now it is possible with GearBlynk app!

App main menu consists of four items:

1. Send Triggers - send Triggers to your Blynk-running devices.

2. Setup Tokens - add or delete your blynk Tokens (this will not delete token from your Blynk project). Required fields:

3. Setup Trigger - add or delete your Triggers. Required fields:

4. Setup Widget - assign Triggers to Widget slots.

App widget

App has a built-in Widget with four slots: top, bottom, left, right. Custom Trigger could be assigned to each slot.

Internet connection

GearBlynk app uses internet connection only to send requests when you press widget slot buttons or choose an item from Send Triggers list.

Send Triggers menu item shows a notification if internet connection is absent on your device.

You are able to use GearBlynk app even without WiFi connection. In this case your smartwatch should be connected to your phone over bluetooth. Bluetooth internet tethering should be enabled in your phone Connection Settings.

P.S.

Not able to post external links, search GearBlynk on youtube to watch the demo.

If this thread doesn't belong here, apologies but I don't know where else to ask for help.

So I've been facing this problem for the past couple of weeks, where I can't watch videos or copy-paste in Google Chrome 68.0.3440.85

Initially I thought that it probably is an issue with chrome itself and it'll be fixed with the next update, but it has been almost two weeks now that I've been facing this problem and judging by Chrome reviews, I doubt it's an issue related to the app version itself.

Note: I'm not facing this problem anywhere else but Chrome.

I tried resetting Chrome data, didn't work. Uninstall updates and reinstall them, didn't work. So now I'm at my wit's end so as to how to fix this problem. I could've just switched to another browser and not bother but chrome probably has 2-3 year's worth of information synced to it, which I need for my work, so I can't really switch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's two videos of the problems that I'm facing:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] techlogik:
Enabled immersive to hide the navbar. I also have an app that does this, but getting the soft keys to not display when you swipe up is what I am trying to accomplish.

I have an app called OnePlus gestures to enable gesture Nav, have the Navbar hidden, but when swiping, the soft keys keep appearing. Also tried the hw key build prop file set to 1, doesn't work at all to disable them.

The Oneplus app from the store has a navbar hid feature that disables it, but it seems to have broke something with my AOD substrate I like to run and the percentage disappears on the AOD screen now at the bottom, something with the overlay I guess on the latest build.

Anyway, if someone know how to disable the softkeys so I can just use Gestures...would be great...the navbar hide function, no problem..but the soft keys annoying reappearing is the issue now.

Morning all,

I did some searching before posting, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a theme/launcher that would emulate the Diamond. I had a touch pro long time ago and loved the smoother clean display. Just wondering, thanks for any help!

you mean touchflo 3d/manila?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mostyle:
I completely feel you. I had a touch pro for years, Loved the touch flow UI. It has been a while since I last checked but there was no true port of the touch flo UI and the closest I was ever able to come was a clock widget that looked like the HTC widget. Sadly I wish there was more to say... I loved that device!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GoonerW4y:
Yes, sorry. That's the one.

Right? Ok, thanks for the replies. I've looked for an emulator, launcher and all I could find was the clock themes. Either not possible or just not that high enough of a demand to develop. Thanks again.

[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] jcarl032:
First post but avid stalker/reader of posts. Thanks to everyone here on XDA I was able to flash and root my nexus 6 previously...

SCENARIO: I was watching an MP4 movie in HD (1080p) using the Huawei videos app. I've been able to play this same file using Quickpic or the Google photos app with no issues previously. I was also able to play a 1080p movie in MKV format using Video Player All Format (by Inshot, Inc.) without issue just the previous day (other apps couldn't play it with sound). It did heat up the phone more than normal but nothing unbearable.

Anyway, watching the MP4 movie suddenly the sound goes out and the screen goes black. I still had 30% power so it wasn't a battery issue. Tried the fingerprint sensor, no response. Power button single click, no response. I waited a few seconds and tried the power button again, no response. Tried long press power button, I got a vibrate and a screen light up, but that's it. No Huawei logo, no android logo. A little note here: The phone heats up really bad at this point. Especially the fingerprint sensor area, almost to the point of burning my finger. After a while it dies again. I charge it using it's OEM cable connected directly to a wall socket for an hour.

Troubleshooting done: Tried the power & volume-, I get a vibrate and screen light up but nothing else. no Huawei logo or Android Same with power & volume+. Basically I can't get into recovery mode. Next up was plugging it to my laptop USB. Same buttons, same results. Huawei's Hisuite was no help.

Tried installing ADB and MTP drivers, even the microsoft MTP porting kit. Android-platform-tools as well. Hisuite could now detect the phone but it was requiring authorization, which wasn't showing up as a popup screen.

Command line "ADB devices" shows 1 device connected ONLY when I held down power & vol+ until I felt two vibrations. Even then the device was labeled unauthorized and I couldn't get into "ADB reboot recovery" or "ADB reboot-bootloader" were a no go. Phone stuck in light up screen but no animation or picture at all.

I'm interested if there's any way at all to get into recovery mode so i can clear cache first before I wipe my device. Tons of pics i haven't backed up yet. You guys are my last hope before I head to Huawei service center in 2 days.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fireblade63:
When you are calling someone that has another call (Call waiting), your PPC do not show in a notification or beep that the second party is having another line.

This is available on any very basic symbian phone.

Is there a cab to fix that?

Share a solution if you have one..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rohanmaini:
This is a feature from your carrier.... Call waiting works just fime on my Kaiser
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fireblade63:
Call waiting works fine on my Kaiser as well.

The carrier here has this option.

This is not the problem though.

The problem is when you call someone up from a PPC and that party has another line.

You should get a beep or a visual notification showing that the person you are calling has another line (my call is waiting on his phone).

So, if someone has a solution for this; please share.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ryncppr:
Ok what I think your talking about is when you call someone that is on the phone, you hear a quick beep indicating that they are on the line, correct????

If this is what you are talking about, YES it is carrier specific. For example, when I call my father on Verizon and he is on the phone with someone else, after each ring there is a small beep. This is telling me that he is on the line.

There is nothing you can do to the Tilt to change this, it is carrier specific.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
True... and there are also some PBX systems that provide the ring/beep when you are the call waiting. It usually depends on the phone system of the person you're calling.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rohanmaini:
I think that is carrier specific too.. if I am calling some someone who is busy on another call, I get a completely diff to ringing tone.. Infact in most cases I get a audio message that the person I am calling is busy on another call and I should wait or call back later... Atleast thats what we have on all major carriers here in India...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mkalbouneh:
ok we know that carrier has to support it, i know t-mobile does...

i used an old nokia to check and it works, it beeps and the whole screen says CALL WAITING, then it starts ringing...

i haven't seen any Windows Mobile touch screen or not that can do this

so its a carrier thing, yes t-mobile supports it.. windows mobile doesnt support it though!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kiahowaa:
so there is no way to make a .cab or something to fix this problem :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
It's not broken so how can you fix it? It's just not a feature that is offered.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dimushor:
it is not about the carrier. for instance when i had a nokia, when the other party was on the phone i had a beep in my phone, but with the WM devices, you cannot see that you call is waiting.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] runningnak3d:
This is the latest Nougat update that was released on 06/11/2018. It does not flash recovery or laf. If you must have laf, there is an additional zip to flash.

It is still ARB 2, so you can flash back to any version of Nougat.

I have removed the recovery-from-boot.p file from system so that recovery doesn't get overwritten, but that is the only change that was made -- this is not a debloated ROM.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

ROM download: h901_v30d.zip

OK, now for my spiel on laf...

You only need to install the laf zip if you have installed TWRP on laf in addition to recovery, and you would like download mode back.

I *HIGHLY* recommend that you keep TWRP on both recovery and laf. You will never be in a situation where download mode would help you, but TWRP couldn't.

You CAN be in a situation where TWRP could have helped you, but you are just stuck with download mode.
