[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daerragh:
On Google platform-tools download website (link - https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools ) it says that the tools are backwards compatible but I can't flash my Nexus 5 with the latest tools. It fails sending user-data. I use flash-all.bat. The latest fastboot reports that it sends user-data package weighting around 10MB but in reality the userdata package weighs around 140MB, so it fails sending the user-data package.

I've got older platform-tools from 09.2017 and they work fine. They report correct size of the user-data package and flash the stock image successfully.

Anyone have any clue why the latest tools don't work?

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] nztim:
My Nokia 7+ (TA-1055) did an automatic update to Android P last week and since the update my social apps have not been able to access cellphone network data. I had reset my phone several times since the update and have recently done a factory reset which has not resolved the issue either. The applications will work if I am in WiFi, but as soon as I leave WiFi they will loose connectivity.

Please help I am in several group projects and need to resolve this issue.

Hi guys.

This is all on your responsibility and this methode need some skills to do it. If you afraid, better go along.

I have working WWE ROMS Android PIE for NOkia 6 TA -1054 and Nokia 7 (CN) but I don't publish them yet.

One condition when it works - you have android 7 installed (not 8+).

Afterwards you have to flash via my OST one of ROM publishes by Hikary Calyx (BIG THX TO HIM WHAT HE MADE TO COMMUNITY)

NOkia 6. TA-1054 - Android 7 https://hikaricalyx.app.box.com/s/80wri289qq7j5dtzrmq0szq69whi5ypi

Nokia 7 (c1n) china -Android 7 https://hikaricalyx.app.box.com/s/6o2n9y9paiz835gasm1qhlhmi4r3liax

Making unlock without credits for Ntool with Android 7 installed:

(fk man who made this tool)

1) Get my OST portable https://drive.google.com/open?id=1X9sihCc_RzTfSe6PhW9saZbnRsMLK4j7

2) Run install bat file to install drivers and launch OST.

3) Switch device to download mode (from adb - adb reboot bootloader, manally- after reboot, while phone connected to PC- press vol down + power)).

3) in OST open file mode.nb0 and choose only for Option "Normal download"

4) Once during install phone screen goes off- ensure you have installed in com ports device called "bla-bla..9008". If you have it go to next step or install manually drivers.

5) Reopen mode.nb0 in OST and choose now for "Emergency install", go on and phone will reboot in TWRP (this is not working TRP its only making changes).

6) In TWRP go for Reboot-> bootloader

7) in cmd string type: fastboot oem unlock. Accept unlocking bootloader

8) Go again in "download mode"

9) in cmd string type: fastboot oem unlock_critical. Accept unlocking

10) Now you have fully bootloader unlocked phone!

11) Flash from OST in "Normal mode" one of ROMS above.

You can use twrps from found on xda for nokia 6 (its working for nokia 7 too) to flash open gapps for Chinese roms.

This methode is not for Nokia 6 WW or Nokia 7 plus.

Even don't try.

What can say Nokia and Sharp are Chinese phones now. There is no Nokia anymore.

Cheerz.

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] aw2xcd:
Thanks, this actually worked for me last night to flash the china rom and update Android O to the latest patch.

Few notes:

- If OST tool is giving a null error, set Windows region and language to US english.

- In step 11, I had to retry flashing a few times to get it pass the Nokia logo.

The PL2-222E-NOKIA-6.1-0-00WW-B02.nb0.zip ROM was complaining about OST tool being too old, anyone know how to fix this?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] heineken78:
First is wwe 6.1 not 1054. It can be flashed online service OST or via paid ntool.

Hey all!

I'm hoping others may find this useful. It's a simple app created with Tasker that will scan your installed apps for screensaver related activities, put them in a list, and let you change between them with a tap. Best of all you don't need root! (If you don't have root you will have to grant a permission via ADB.)

On first open it will perform the first scan automatically. Tap any listed screensaver to switch to it. A toast message will confirm if you have successfully switched and the app will update the current screensaver. If this doesn't happen then try granting permission via ADB as described below or check that the app is granted root and try again. Unfortunately I can't find a way to auto trigger or test screensavers due to Android restrictions so you'll have to let the screen timeout to test them. If you find duplicates in your list or simply don't like a screensaver long press it to remove it from the list. There is a rescan button if you accidentally remove an item or have installed new apps, long press to activate it. The toggle at the bottom simply turns the screensaver on or off. ***Opening the system screensaver settings at any time will override any settings changed by this app and you will revert to the stock photo animations***

If you have root, grant it when requested. You may have to reload the app to enable it. If you don't have root follow these instructions:

1. enable ADB on your phone

2. connect phone to PC via cable

3. from your ADB folder run the following command

If you get an error granting permissions run the app and try again. Post here if you need any assistance, I'll try to help.

Special thanks to João Dias for his assistance getting this to work and for the many, many updates he has pushed to Tasker this week! My P20 experience would not be the same without Tasker.

When is the last time you updated your platform-tools? Google's factory image site has this note about unlocking...

I saw a couple posts/articles about the faked corner rounding on the Pixel 3, and the Pixel 2 XL apparently did it as well. Is there any way to turn this off? I searched the forums but couldn't find anything.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Wow, that's interesting. It would be cool to turn that off.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cambunch:
I noticed there is a few interesting apps on the phone in Titanium Backup:

- Corner Cutout 1.0

- Double Cutout 1.0

- Tall Cutout 1.0

I tried disabling them, but it didn't seem to make any difference that I could tell.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
They're not fake really, as much as just different. The screen itself has rounded corners, and the OS just makes them slightly more rounded, probably so they can be anti-aliased and look smoother. If you watch carefully during boot, you can see when they go from hardware-rounded to software-rounded.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ggmask:
Right, that's exactly what this thread is about... using software to artificially add rounding to the screen = faking, right? I'd like to disable that.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
Gotcha. They do look better anti-aliased, though, IMO. When I first powered mine on, I was watching it boot and thought, "Woo, those corners don't look very smoo...oh, okay they're smoothing them in software."
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TheGreaBooty:
Well if you figure it out I'd love to know. I personally feel the normal unaltered cornes would look better. Doesn't really bother me alot, but would still like to try it out at least.

Those apps are for adding a fake notch, even for the Pixel 3. You can see notch settings in the developer options.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Thibale:
Hi,

Still no way to modify the corner shape?

I'd love to get the shape we see on the preboot screen, can't stand those over rounded corners...

On a rooted phone there is obviously a way to change it.

Any idea?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cambunch:
One of the things I noticed is that using the command "wm overscan" with proper values will push the rounded corner overlay off the screen showing the true corners. This has some obvious drawbacks, but interesting to see it working with the phone booted up fully.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] rambhanushali20:
They are the display cutouts made for notch displays.. try turning one on in developer options.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Ezrem:
The Navigation Gestures app gets you halfway there. Hiding the nav bar and using the recommended settings for a hidden pill (so you're just swiping at the bottom edge of the screen) uses all the pixels on the Pixel 3, which reduces the radius of the corners. I'm asking in their Telegram channel whether there's possibly a way to do this on the top of the screen, hoping one of the devs would know.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cambunch:
See my post a few above yours. They are using the overscan options, which has its drawbacks. Some things won't display properly, and if you enable it for the top of the phone you will never see your statusbar.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] onkelhai:
Found this on reddit (thanks to "jyapayne"):

adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_size 1

adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_content_padding 5

First line is the corner "roundness" and second line ist the padding of the status-bar elements to the edge.

Works fine for me!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cambunch:
This is the answer we've been looking for! I changed just the first setting and it looks great.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
Is there any downside to doing that? Is it going to be frowned upon by Safetynet or anything?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Bingley:
Great, thanks! Default on P3 is 26
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cambunch:
Doesn't require root or anything. It's essentially just configuring a setting via command line that lacks a user-interface option to adjust it.

I have found that setting it to 18 is perfect. It gives the smoothness of the anti-aliasing from the software with the radius as close to the size of the actual hardware screen corner.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Thibale:
THANK YOU !!!

I've been looking for such a trick since I get my Pixel.

Way better now
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Thank you so much! Such a small change makes such a big difference. I set both values to 1 for now. I don't notice the aliasing and would rather have the extra screen real estate.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Haxxler:
Finally! Thanks man, works perfectly. For the corners i had to reboot, but the padding changes on the fly, so you can find the right sweet spot for you without hundreds of reboots. Awesome.

/edit: Nevermind the reboot thing i said. You dont need to for the roundness.

Looking for confirmation on the permanence of this method,

Will these settings keep after multiple reboots?

Is this baked into custom roms as well or will we have to reapply these commands after flashing any/most Roms?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TheMorpheus:
Yes it will stay after a reboot and yes you have to re-apply it after flashing a rom
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
You don't have to reapply after flashing monthly updates, though. (If you flash either OTA or full after removing -w.) It persists thorough that.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] crabnebula:
Works great on Q beta 6. For the radius, any setting lower than 15 won't make a difference because it's smaller than the physical radius of the screen's corner. I find that 16 is the best setting for me, just enough to hide a thin layer. Also, I prefer leaving the padding at 8 because it affects not only the status bar but also the pull down settings and I find it looks best with the default setting.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cambunch:
Are you copying/pasting this from above? Try typing it instead. Also try a simple command ("adb shell ls" or something similar) to see if your command line is having issues.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
It's not a dramatic change, just a slightly smaller radius curve. It can be hard to notice if you aren't watching carefully when it changes. Just checking, silly question, but you know this doesn't get rid of the rounded corners completely, right, just changes how rounded they are?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mattlach:
Hmm.

I tried issuing this to my Pixel 3 with hopes of getting back my nice rectangular screen I used to have on my first gen Pixel.

I'm not sure it did anything. The rounded edges may be slightly smaller, but they are still there. Not sure.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] imatts:
Please please please tell me this works with OnePlus 7 Pro (or is at least universal). I cannot stand the insanely rounded corners on the OnePlus devices, and I am just willing to sacrifice a bit of bezels by reducing the display height by about 10 pixels on the top and bottom, and then reducing the corner radius by about half so that it doesn't look like an incomplete corner.

For anyone wanting to understand what I mean, here is a simple illustration (ignore the reeeeally bad photoshopped "software bezel / corners", I'm using a Mac with no photoshop and limited knowledge haha)

[IMG="Illustration of OP7Pro Reduced Height + Less rounded corners"]https://i.ibb.co/0CmvztK/Screen-Shot-2020-01-23-at-4-46-04-PM.png[/IMG]

EDIT:

I was able to confirm that with Stock OxygenOS, the "adb shell wm size 1440 x 2990" and "adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_size 20" set up the corners nearly exactly as the illustration above depicts. We're good to go!

Also for those wondering, custom roms like Havoc, RR, all have removed software-overlays for the rounded corners so when you push up the display, it defaults to something like sysui_rounded_size 20.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] NImesh Basu:
Can you explain more. I have same device. And what adb command did you use
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] pauliusval99:
Another observation here:

The corners of the screen itself are not rounded. The protective glass on top of the screen has black painted bezels with rounded corners, so the pixels are there but they're hidden under the paint. You can see this by tilting your phone while it's booting and looking at a very low angle. The lower angle you take, the sharper the corner gets. It's obvious there's not a single pixel missing from the perfectly rectangular matrix, it's just covered with paint.

Just wanted to put this out there, because so many people say they round corners to increase shatter resistance or whatever else, but that's false - they just want to look "fancy". I don't get where this absolutely STUPID design decision comes from, but seems like it's infesting almost every phone that was recently released. I hope it goes away eventually. Until then, on my Pixel 3a I'm using the combination of the adb commands posted in this thread and this one:

adb shell wm size 1080x2140

That makes the screen shorter by 80 pixels (40 from top and 40 from bottom), so I have perfectly square corners. I'm not sure of the exact corner radius (that's how much I'd need to remove to make square corners) but 40 seems close enough to where the rounding begins, while still being outside the radius.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ravett:

This used to work great with Android 10, but with Android 11 on my Pixel 3, it isn't "sticking" anymore. It will change the value briefly, but as soon as I do something that refreshes the screen, it reverts to the default value again.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mbudzynski:
