Considering .lit is not an open format and msreader's a very good reader....I doubt you'll find much of anything other than msreader to read your ebooks.

And you don't need to use the hardware buttons. You can tap the page-number or the arrows next to the page-number if you really want to bungle along without the hardware buttons.

Personally I prefer using the directional pad on my hx4700 though the up-down on the side of my axim x5 was even better (stupid pda broke though :( ).

has anyone got the cab for tiny reader I understand that may work

got the trial version, does anyone know what the limitations are?

mobireader perfect

mobireader is free, has a cab installer, and not only has tap screen for next and previous page but has an autoscroll feature where the text smoothly scrolls up the screen at whatever speed you prefer. I found this useful when working on a cross-trainer and wanting to read at the same time. Made a holder for the phone (HD2) and left it scrolling, never had to touch it again till the workout had finished. Its a perfect reader for text files although, I agree, I dont think lit is supported as thats an MS format.

Got the new reader on Wm6.5.3 on HD2 and testing that out now if I can find any details.

I used to read lit files on ms reader but then switched to the far superior mobipocket. I use the free ABC Amber Lit Converter to convert to html, which can be dragged onto the mobipocket desktop reader.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] sk8avp:
Hello all the people out there.

Im new in the forum and english is not my mother language so, please be kind.

Hardware:

Moto G5 cedric (XT1060)

Situation:

Installed twrp-3.2.1-0-cedric.img without problems

Installed lineage-15.1-20180415-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip without problems

Installed open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20181116.zip without problems

Problem:

When the phone inits, the fingerprint sensor does nothing at all.

When i go to Security > Screen lock the fingerprint option doesnt exists at all. Exploring the coms (Apps > All Apps) i dont see the fingerprint service installed.

I have installed the "Ampare Fingerprint test" app and when run only says "Native Fingerprint API not found!".

Thing done:

Flash all again (TWRP + Lineage 15.1 + gapps) and the situation is the same.

Anyone have an idea and can guide me?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
Did you flash stock 8.1 before?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] sk8avp:
Hi Andrej_SK, thanks for your reply.

This phone was never flashed.

I had the stock version and it was updated with Android Oreo 8.1, which was updated a few weeks ago.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
If you installed stock Oreo 8.1 using any method (OTA, Fastboot...), you have to downgrade to stock Nougat first (using fastboot image) to make fingerprint work with CustomROMs. However, you need unlocked bootloader to downgrade. Don't flash both gpt and bootloader (if flashed any of these, you will get hardbrick because gpt/bootloader downgrade is not allowed). Also, don't run erase modem commands, they will wipe your IMEI in this case. As soon as you downgrade to stock Nougat, check the fingerprint availibility in Settings. If you can see options related to it, you're good to go - you can install any CustomROM as you normally would and your fingerprint will work.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] sk8avp:
Hi Andrej_SK, really thanks for your help.

Sorry but I'm pretty new flashing android 6+.

Lets see if i have done the correct step.

Flashed 7.x Nougat following this post: https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/official-stock-moto-g5-cedric-firmware-t3733897

IMEI is OK, fingerprint working perfectly.

This has erased TWRP, so, now i can install TWRP and then install any custom rom?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
Yes. Keep in mind that if you want to install any Oreo CustomROM, you need to do it using 64bit TWRP. If you decide to install Gapps alongside with any Oreo CustomROM too, use this tutorial https://xdaforums.com/g5/how-to/how-to-repair-bootloop-oreo-roms-t3791189 to avoid bootloop.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] sk8avp:
Andrej_SK I have no words to thank you for your help.

I decided to continue using the stock rom, at least until Lineage OS is in a more stable state.

Some functions work better and I really need them.

Again thank you very much!

Fingerprint not working

Hello,

I'm facing the same problem, I came Stock rom Oreo 8.1 and then fingerprint is not working on any custom rom I've tested.

Detail: Project Treble does not even start the boot for me.

I will perform the procedure that you mentioned and leave the feedback here if the problem was solved since I saw in other forums for this device that many are with the same problem.

Edit

I downgraded to the Nougat stock rom and installation rom Pixel Experience 8.1, fingerprint is working for me now =D

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] leoni1980:
I haven't used a SIM in my Vodafone P20 Pro (C432) yet. I've just inserted a Vodafone SIM in it and been presented with the attached update. Having heard of devices permanently branding to a network on first SIM insertion with the Mate 10 Pro I'm concerned that if I allow this system update I will permanently have a Vodafone splash screen and apps. Can anyone confirm if this is the case or if I'm just being paranoid?

I can't even dismiss the update so it looks like I'd have to do a factory reset to even get rid of the notification but I don't want my phone to permanently have a Vodafone splash screen and crapware

Yes! This works on both regular and XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
EX Kernel Manager 3.74 is rolling out on the Play Store now...

It adds full spport for the Pixel 3 XL, including vibration control, HBM setting and ability to download and directly flash ElementalX or any other kernel that uses the AnyKernel2 format.

There are two new settings for the wake gestures:

Vibrate on wake: This will vibrate when you use a gesture to wake the device (e.g. sweep2wake or double tap)

Vibrate on sweep2sleep: This will vibrate when you use sweep2sleep to turn off the screen

High brightness mode works a bit differently on this device. Instead of going to max, it just increases the backlight at the current brightness setting. I will add support to my HBM app soon. I may also change this behavior in the kernel, as I prefer it to just go to max on demand.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rhino666:
Just installed on Pixel 3.

On sweep to wake or double tab to wake, phone keeps vibrating.

Only way to stop this is a reboot.

I have to wait for EX Kernel Manager update I guess.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SixFourSix:
Thank you for all of this, seems like vibration and HBM works on other kernels too :) I see that the old method of HBM works well with HBM app, but I kinda like the new method too, I could basically just enable it and leave it always on if it doesn't interfere with auto brightness (as long as HBM app can restore the state after screen off, which it currently doesn't).

I'm seriously contemplating on thoughts of RMA now that EXKM added vibration control. I think mine might be a bit faulty, because vibration motor makes louder than normal sound when tapping. But now I can tune it make the haptics feel perfect and silent. I'm beyond thankful!

EDIT: edited the quote a bit
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Gordietm:
It seems the reboots stops when I unplugged the phone. Running just on battery, it's fine.

I'm getting about 1.6/hr on stock kernel, rooted, ambient off.

When I install greenify it drops to 0.5/hr or better. Not affecting any notifications. I'm not exactly sure which process is causing drain since I ported over settings from my 6P. Without greenify the phone isn't dozing. Held awake also goes up to 15% vs 5% on greenify.

Getting about 12%/hr active drain which seems pretty impressive.

Average use for me is about 11-14%/hr with screen on and 1-1.5%/hr off with an SOT of about 7-8 hours. I'm pleased with those results for now.

Just switched to 6T yesterday. The last straw was my phone calls cutting out. I also can't stand the new navigation gestures and the battery has died two or three times on me.

Update!!!

New release, new features! You can control speaker gain and I've also added a backlight dimmer option that allows lowering the screen brightness as low as it will go. You can make these adjustments in EX Kernel Manager 3.77 or later (just released).

Also, a note about flashing: there was an obscure bug in Magisk v18 that caused auto flash to fail in certain situations. This has been fixed by [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION]. If you installed Magisk v18 yesterday or earlier, or previously installed Magisk canary builds, you should revert to a clean stock boot.img and flash v18 again (it was re-uploaded with the fix--no new version number). If you face any sort of ramdisk errors while flashing kernels, you will need to go back to stock boot.img and start fresh.

Flash directly and control all options on this and other kernels with the latest EX Kernel Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager

Download:

ElementalX-P3-1.03.zip

Changes:

-add speaker gain control

-add backlight dimmer option

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sliding_billy:
Flashed the factory boot.img to both slots. Rebooted and reinstalled Magisk 18.0 (the one John uploaded to fix this issue of course) with the TWRP .img. No need to uninstall Magisk or remove modules. Checked root/SafetyNet on reboot and ran the auto-installer from the ElementalX app. Worked perfectly on both the PIxel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. I have no doubt installing the ElementalX 1.03 .zip from TWRP .img would have worked fine too. P.S. I love this kernel and the app/configes/auto-installer. I guess the best compliment was the blind taste test from my wife who didn't even know it was on her phone or what the random paid app was that appeared. She just mentioned that the phone is running really well and that battery life was better recently.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ahh123:
Thanks!

I had a couple questions. I see the power symbols next to the options in exkm, I assume that's to apply on boot. What is the "apply on boot" setting for under "tools" section for.

Also I'm not noticing a difference with backlight dimmer enabled.

Anyone else notice this kernel drains more than others here? Stock setup here
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
You have to toggle the screen on and off for backlight dimmer to kick in.

do it like this. Set autobrightness to lowest. Go to a dark room. Now enable backlight dimmer. Turn the screen off.

Turn screen on again and your screen will be really dim now ;)

Apply on boot tile in tools section, applies all settings you set to be applied at boot, again at the time you press it :)
