[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] giants8058:
I've been having issues with AFWall+ (Donate) ever since upgrading to Android 9.0 almost two months ago. Dev support has been lacking to say the least, so I've been looking for an alternative. Apparently Avast bought out Droidwall some time ago. I've been running Avast Internet Security for about three weeks now and disabled all the components (along with any the 3rd party analytics) and it works great with no battery drain strictly as a firewall(which requires root as well). And since it's part of Avast IS, future updates/bug fixes shouldn't be a problem.

I haven't had a chance to use the Avast app yet but I am pleased to say that I updated AFWall+ to 3.0.0 and the issues I've had before have been fixed. Thank you for the reply.

(Settings that consume battery more)

What are the settings related to battery you have found to enhance the usage like screen resolution, power saving, AOD etc.

I want to use my phone like a flagship not like a crippled one and get better battery life. But I seem to get less battery somehow due to my settings? Not sure. Please let me know.

[edit]:added the first line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Majin101:
Check out my screenshots. My battery usage from last night. I use samsungs launcher. Bluetooth I manually turn it on when I need it. Also, turned off Bixby home.

I average about 5-6 screen on time, and lasts me all day. I don't use power saving mode at all, in fact I keep the entertainment mode on the whole time. Same for my data/sync. I have outlook, Gmail (2 accounts), typical social media apps (hangout, Instagram, snapchat, Facebook).

Main usage: xda, Instagram, snapchat, groupme, hangouts, YouTube, crunchyroll, Google's assistant feed, emails.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] anon1135:
Full screen gesture lag, Dolby and Google camera, ARB/brick

I heard the first can be fixed by a EU software update(8.9.2? But at the cost of getting ARB). Should ARB matter for custom roms later or if we never have a reason to downgrade back to an older miui?

Not sure if I've read about anyone getting Dolby to work yet only v4a. The speakers should be loud enough without either but the point of them is to change the way music sounds with bluetooth/earphones. I've never had any luck getting v4a settings to stick so I always used Dolby on every phone.

Miui stock camera might be good enough if there isn't a fully working gcam. Gcam mod is usually better than most stock cameras I've tried though.

I plan to order from trading shenzhen with eu rom pre-installed because I heard global and China rom has too many problems and I don't want to fix with many steps right after buying. Are there problems people run into with eu rom as well? As in something not many have mentioned much yet but could be a problem later on.

I think those are all my main worries before buying this device. Ty to anyone who can answer them!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
No full screen gesture lag. If so, run Nova Launcher and use One Plus gestures with hide nav bar. Not sure about Dolby, but Viper works perfect. Google camera works well with the latest from the Google cam thread for mi max 3. As I said before, I've got you covered with installation help. If you want me to walk you through the above, I will do that as well.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
[Update3]

I have found the tool LGUP and according to this one the version is as well D80210E because it recognizes the device in Download Mode and on COM4.

Now I am not sure if I should use this tool to flash the same version [D80210E] or use the LG Flash Tool with normal flash option in order to keep all the data.

If someone has any ideas, please let me know.

I appreciate any help.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Short update: I have sent the device to a local service center, but after almost 2 weeks they said me that they are unable to fix the phone without erasing the data and they can't recover the data from the phone. So I have declined that offer being prepared to test everything I found on the net.

Back home, I tested the most non-intrusive method: the freezer. First time I have left the phone in the freezer for 30 minutes and voila the phone booted up in Android. Unfortunately it hold only for 15 minutes and then it restarted itself again. Then I left it in rice for about 30 minutes and then put in the freezer again for 30 minutes, and this time the phone remained on for 2h and was able to back-up everything (even copying all folders from internal storage).

Since the phone is still on even now, I am a little baffled. What I have noticed different from the first time is that the first time I have activated Wifi in order to sync with Google. The second time the WiFi wouldn't even activate, disregarding how many time I would attempt to enable it. It finally connected by itself after ~1h. I am not sure what exactly is the issue and I am looking for a new phone.

What I can say for other people having the same issue is to first try the freezer quick fix. And don't forget the rice, since there will be some sweat on the phone after pulling it out from the freezer.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaddyWi:
Hey there,

I've trouble installing the Nova Launcher Prime as a system app. I am new to Android, but with this forum I was able to root my device and learn some 1-day Android knowledge.

I found two tutorials online, but they seem to only provide information for moving a single *.apk file (sorry can't post links due to new account).

I think this is fine for the normal Nova Launcher app, but not for the prime version?

When I look into my /data/app folder, there is a com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime-1 folder. Inside that folder is a base.apk file and a lib file.

How can I install the prime version as a system app?

Do I need to move the complete folder to /system/app?

I've read that with "mount -o rw,remount /system" I can get write access to /system, but how do I reverse it after the move command?

Thank you very much in advance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerhole:
I've never made nova prime a system app cuz it's basically just a key that tells the actual launcher you have the paid version and therefore unlocks the paid features of nova launcher. Just make the actual launcher into a system app and you're good.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaddyWi:
Thanks. That would do it, I was just wondering since I paid and wanted to have the unlocked version. Any other ideas?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerhole:
As long as nova prime is installed it doesn't matter if nova launcher is a system app or a user app. All nova launcher prime is is an unlock key, it doesn't contain the actual launcher itself. So you have to install nova launcher still.

What I exactly do is this:

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount /system

cd /data/app
mv com.teslacoilsw.launcher-1/ /system/app/

I think this has to do with permissions. Can you please help?

I've always used an app called app2sd to convert to system app. You could also use any root explorer or even use es file explorer as it has a root explorer built in to it to move it instead of using adb.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] erclalle:
Hi everyone, after ~1 year on a stable ROM, some glitches and new features out there mean I'd love to install a newer ROM. Many new features could be discussed, however I'm quite interested in clarifying the Super-Slow-mo feature that first appeared in the S9 & S9+ camera, and officially made an appearance on the S8, S8+ & Note 8 in the latest CRI5 firmware update.

1) I read that the S9/S9+/N9 have 720p@960fps recording for .2 seconds (.4 on the note9, probably RAM difference?), while the first tests from the S8/S8+ seem to say that it does half as much. (.2secs at 720p@480fps). I have seen wild claims left and right that the Note8 got the full package (960fps), which seems unlikely, while others tested the S8 feature and said it was actually an interpolated 240fps (so basically useless? 240fps is already possible for as long as one likes, and software interpolation can be done afterwards!).

2) I have seen that some S9 ROM ports had integrated the "Super Slow mo" feature a while ago (even before the CRI5 update), but at that point many people already claimed that it was 240fps interpolated 2x.

Has anyone filmed something and done a side by side comparison of the three in order to compare the results? Is there a way to know for sure what goes on with the new update? What is my best choice regarding a new ROM if the super slow mo on S8 is indeed a thing? CRI5-based S8 ROMS or S9 ports?

Thank you in advance, any advice welcome!

Have you thought of using a fullscreen doc viewer (picsel comes to mind...) and a screen-capture mapped to a hardware button? It isn't automated, but it would get the job done.
[General Topics] Deuce Nitro:
With mortscript, you can automate pretty much anything, right? ;) Problem is, that really wouldn't get the job done.

Let me explain the application a bit better...

I use Wisbar Advanced Desktop extensively and I have a pretty sophisticated UI set up. I have a special page for weather, but I'm really not happy with *any* of the weather today plug-ins (and I think I've tried pretty much all of them!) So what I want to do is pass 2 or 3 URLs to mortscript, have it read the file in, parse out the stuff I don't want, leaving me with text that gives me the precise details I do want. I then convert the text to an image file, saving it with the same name ands size every time (e.g. currentconditions.gif - which is already set as a positioned element on the WAD virtual page.) I do the same with extended forecast and surf report (I live at the beach in SoCal) and tell mortscript to go out and update this once per hour. Then, when I go to my weather page, I get exactly the info I want (including sunset time, water temp, UV index, etc.) and my info is no older than 59 minutes.

I'm starting to think that I should just do this server-side... maybe I can find a text-to-image script using php. Hmmmm...

View attachment 4643985Bought it for $200 right from the promotion-sale and after a few days of playing with it I started looking for a firmware, the phone will need some tweaks. I mean, it's a cheap phone with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage but there is some issues with the software, it 'forgets' my fingerprints for example, or reverts to the factory launcher after every reboot - the phone doesn't like my Nova launcher.

...on the second thought, I decided to get my money back, lose 3.5mm jack connection -see the zip attachment, no OTA can fix that. Too bad, I was hoping to have some fun with this phone.

12/21/18 Update

I was curious to see if Gearbest continues selling the Poptel P60 despite having non ISO compliant 3.5mm phone jack and found out that they're trying to correct the problem by shipping it with additional “headphone adapter”, so people can use it:

Package Contents

Cell Phone: 1

Charger: 1

Earphones Adapter: 1

SIM Needle: 1

USB Cable: 1

That adapter wasn't included when I bought the phone back in November, I have my money back already refunded to my Paypal acct., it turns out that Gearbest Customer Service works very well, they have an US agent in California, the return went there shipped with 2-day 1st class USPS and they issued refund right away. No hustles at all.

If you try to install Arnova's version, it will fail due to conflicts with the original GCam. This is just a cloned app that can be installed on Pixel/Pixel XL.

All credit goes to [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION]. All bugs/functionality from that app are also present here.

Link to the original thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77855579&postcount=2426

Arnova's version has some of the pixel 3 functionality enabled for other phones (like portrait mode and focal length changing after taking a portrait mode photo). If you install the non moded version, you don't get portrait mode or h256 encoding for videos (and more).

None of the v6 based moded gcam apps currently available work on Pixel due to their manifest being the same as the original "play store" version of gcam which comes preinstalled on pixels.

This forces an update of the original app, update which fails as it recognizes that the moded version is not really a qualified upper version of the original one
