This Golden version not working
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sieger007:
Wonderful. The golden one works like a charm ( I downloaded that ) ..... THANKS this was a life saver

j700F was FRP Locked , after stock ROM install, TWRP would not mount USB OTG. Fried Latest && -3 versions - none worked. Now this works wonderfully thank you.

BTW the download link : they will not open up correctly on mobile phone until you choose view "desktop site" and then click on the captcha and generate link

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

use Odin ( 1st time no twrp ) or twrp app ( rooted and want to update )

fastboot and sideload are other alternatives

Hey guys,

Rooted recently, got on Pie and found myself missing the Night Light - such a little thing that makes all the difference at night. Tried redoing the steps I did to enable it on Oreo but failed.

Anyway, long story short, after a few xda threads I installed Pix3lify, which is a hit n miss - and I already had Digital Wellbeing port. So I extracted the apks responsible for night light only and put them in a zip.

The apk had a lot of lines reporting to Ambient display and other functionalities which have been removed - the apk has 2kb and enables night light - just that.

Install: Copy nightLight.apk to system > vendor > overlay (set 644/-rw-r--r-- permissions). Best to use MIXplorer

OR

Flash the zip via TWRP/Magisk Installer (Nightlight_v1)- Thanks to [MENTION=4976984]alagga[/MENTION] for the Magisk Module :)

Since the port is from Pixel, it goes hand in hand with Digital Wellbeing port (magisk module).

Night Light settings in Display > Advanced > Night Light. Quick settings tile present in the dropdown customization area.

Have a good Night(Light)

Not that I know of. Tried the old adb line but that won't work. Anyway, if you plan on rooting, make sure you do the DRM backup - totally worth the effort.

I will enjoy stock as much as I feel to, then my plan is to switch to LineageOs or other Rom, with nogapps
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] ricardo99831390:
it doesn't work for me. I flashed through twrp and I also flashed the digital well-being through magisk.

Edit:you need to install the pixelify module.

Edit2:it crashes system UI with pixelify and it doesn't work just flashing the zip.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] sam_2776:
it doesn't work for me !
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] sam_2776:
I reinstall and now it works

Thanks ???
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
I found pixelify a bit buggy for xzp, that's why I took out only the apk for ambient display/night light, modified the lines so it only enables night light. I only use the digital well-being. If the zip doesn't work try manually putting it in overlays and set permissions.

So no pixelify plugin, just that zip (tested on my xzp single sim on android pie).

Tell me how it goes
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] yashau:
Flashing the ZIP didn't work for me. Copying the apk manually did though. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I've did the modifications very late at night so I recycled a zip I had in handy. There was a lot of copy/paste of the apk and not so much twrp flashing. Updated description. :)

And I didn't notice any screen sluggishness. I'll keep an eye out tho :)

I can't modify the system partition and I'm running mixplorer with root. That's strange
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] RedJHoN:
Followed your instructions everything is working well
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
Double check the root permissions in magisk root section - perhaps you denied them by mistake. mixplorer has no issues manipulating root files - as long as it has the permission granted

[update]Strange. I can't seem to modify root folder structure - for example, adding a new folder in priv-app does nothing - tried with two file explorers. Best bet is to use a flashable zip for such apps or TWRP's file explorer which has plenty of manipulation options.

This night light port is running without problems on latest Pie firmware for the XZ1. Thank you very much! :good:

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Could you do a port for the Ambient display feature, too? Its the only thing I'm missing: "Ambient display: Wake screen when you receive a notification" - Without this feature the notification light hints at the notification, but I have to press a button to see the notification.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
In its original form, there were lines calling the ambient display. But it felt buggy and since the screen is LCD, I found it very inconvenient since my goal was the night light. I'll send the original overlay tomorrow.

Cheers

Would be nice, but no hurry! :good:

The original mod for Oreo worked also just installing the apk without root... do I need root for this one to work on Pie?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheArt.:
Is it possible to achieve this on XZ1 Compact latest Pie and no root? Maybe with adb?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] SGH-i200:
I had this problem, too!

I used TWRP's file explorer to get this task done! Thanks for the hint! :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
Nah. The overlay file is only accesible via root.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
Totally forgot - sorry. Crazy days @ work.

Here's the original file - keep in mind that the ambient display might not work as designed. But feel free to play around.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] SGH-i200:
I replace the nightLight.apk in the overlay directory by this apk, but after a restart no 'Ambient Display' was available in the Settings app. Only the 'Night Light' feature as before.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
As far as i recall it doesn't have a toggle but you will sure notice that the screen turns on on notifications - it's a bit buggy and I only needed the night light.

Try the mods on this thread https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/9-0-enable-night-light-tile-t3868086

I didn't test the ambient display because it's a LCD panel and I only wanted the night light.

What does the first of theses two line listed in config.sh do?

The first is the Default Permission and the second sets the Permission for the nightlight.apk correctly.

Hey thanks for the mod! I'm using rooted oreo, flashed with magisk and it works fine.

It happens with Invert Colors tile too.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Guys, I'm having a tough time deleting a file or two that were recently installed in the root's /product folder and I guess I don't understand what I am doing wrong, or what security is in place to prevent me from doing this. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions here. I cannot change permissions to make the folder recursively rw. I first started with Root Explorer and Solid Explorer. Both are capable of changing permissions but failed saying it was a "system folder". I used terminal to setenforce to 0, and tried with su from terminal and could not manually change folder permissions using chmod either. I thought maybe TWRP would be the answer, so I booted recovery and tried mounting the data partition (I think it's on data) and used file manager to browse to the folder, but I cannot see the contents of the folder nor can I delete it. What am I missing here? Is the TWRP mount function busted atm? Last night I reflashed November's update with the -w thinking it might "overwrite" the folder, but there was no joy there either. I do have a couple of TWRP backups of the data folder and that is my next step. Before I apply the December image tonight, I'm going to restore the most recent /data partition backup. There has to be a way to get control of that folder and it's contents but so far it has eluded me. :confused:

Cheers and TIA.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
As far as I'm aware, the only way currently to write to the product partition is to fastboot flash it. I've went as far as to modify TWRP fstab to mount it in recovery and use the file manager to replace the bootanimation only to have it either never write properly or for it to "correct" itself. Not sure which happened.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I appreciate the response... anything helps. Product is a folder in root also and that is what I am trying to access. Unless there is some kind of symlink linking that product folder to the product partition. I don't know. When I flashed the full image yesterday I would have thought that partition.img (nested in the zipfile) would have been flashed, too. Maybe I can try fastboot formating the product partition. Can't hurt. Thanks again!

Edit: Just found this thread where you also contributed. I'll try to flash that partition with the partition.img and see what happens. I just want to reset it to stock.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I flashed product.img first and it rendered the phone unbootable... corrupt. I then went back into TWRP and wiped system and ran the flash-all script in fastboot and re-rooted. The net result is the product folder is unchanged. Everything is up and running just fine. That folder is just untouchable for me so far. Next I will format data and re-flash. I didn't fully understand what you meant about the custom kernel being the solution but so far EX is not working. May reach out to flar2 and see if he can make some kind of change to his kernel to support mounting this partition? Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
Yeah I have yet to be able to mount the product image to modify it, but I haven't tried all that much lately. I'm pretty sure it's fixable with a kernel edit but that's beyond my ability, and even if I could I have a 8 year old laptop that wouldn't be able to build it.

What are you trying to accomplish? The bootanimation?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
No, I see boot animation in that folder, and yes we all used to use it, but this time it's just an apk from apkmirror that wrote to that system partition (don't ask me how) and now I can't uninstall or update it. com. breel.wallpapers18. I tried to uninstall it using pm uninstall, but it uninstalled it for user 0 so it remains as a system app, and not available to me. I can't uninstall it completely or upgrade... or even use it! It's just a fk'in set of Google live wallpapers I like, but now want to re-set. Waay too much time spent on this so I'm (just about) ready to flush and start over. Every year Google makes it harder for us (fans) to customize our own phones. wtf? Pissed. :mad:
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] siriusmd99:
Hi. I replaced my broken display (and digitizer) with a new one on my mate 10 pro. So after i replaced it started to detect simple touch as knuckle touch (knuckle touch is a special type of touch with your knuckle on huawei phones that is used for screenshots, split screen and more...) . When i drag or touch screen , sometimes it draws blue lines. So i decided to permanently disable knuckle gestures. And guess what? After i disabled all of them screen didnt work at all. I had to connect usb-to-typec mouse to my phone to activate knuckle gestures again so that screen would work.

What can i do about it? Maybe reset everything and install android pie with different rom, cause i think EMUI is awful. Will it help or its just a hardware issue? I've read that some tehnicians do hard reset after screen replacement, maybe i need too?

P.S. There are 3 knuckle gestures : Split screen ,screenshot and app draw open. If i disable two of these and let one be enabled, then screen works. If i disable all of them screen doesnt respond to touch anymore.

1) is your unit originally c432 or did you rebrand it (from c782)?

2) was the firmware u selected on fh website "Downgrade from EMUI9 to EMUI8 CLT-L29 8.1.0.156(C432)"?

I've used this method several times since September (both on beta and "stable") I did little research and It seems to be the first case on xda (p20 pro) when using this method resulted in hard brick so i try to figure out what could go wrong and even warn other users. This information can be very helpful for our community. I would appreciate your cooperation.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00160:
1 rebranded to c432

2 yes

Maybe you used this method from emui beta. I used it from .163 stable pie. I was told it would worj but it didnt.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
Thank You. This information is very helpful. I've used it with beta .47 ; .108 and "stable" .163.

I totally agree with dladz and I admit funky acted extremaly unprofessional. It's unacceptable when they charge custumers a lot and don't even test /know products they sell. They should've never suggested that method would work on your rebranded device without testing it thouroughly. Once You bricked your device they mercifully offered you discount? It's beyond ridiculous!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00160:
I asked funky if there was any way out of it, they replied not if it cant get into fastboot mode. I then asked if a replacement device came will they give me a bootloader code. The response 'we can offer a discount on a new code'.

I dont know what went wrong, i used the same hisuite method ive used for my last few updates.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00160:
Not sure why you even commented here. But I'll entertain it once.

Huawei is the problem.

Slow updates apart from european region.

Lack of any developer friendly software.

Lack of bootloading unlocking.

If there was only 1 region model of the phone then there wouldnt be thousands of people moaning of slow updates.

There also wouldnt be dozens of threads of people moaning about slow updates.

There would also be no need for the rip off that is funky huawei if there was no need for region changes.

To top it off this thread was made because I bricked my phone. In 2018 any phone that can be bricked is not a phone worth buying.

Cheers.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] p2k10:
No slow updates here in germany. It comes in waves but where is the problem with a update 2 weeks later?

With the open bootloader the problem is that this is exactly what happened here. Therefore there is no Unlock Bootloader anymore because of all the funky huawei garbage.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00160:
You dont know what you're talking about. Who said my bootloader was unlocked? Who said there was a problem with the update? No one. The reason i went back was because i needed call recording and a file that I was told should have worked bricked my phone. Its as simple as that.

This is a fix for stock camera's viewfinder running properly in 1080x2160 resolution too (not in default only = 1440x2880). ...Tested in H870 Stock Oreo v20c ROM

INFO:

Following this thread:

[GUIDE] Best Battery Life Possible...

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/guide-best-battery-life-t3735720

...you can set lower resolution + density (by the adb command or by apk = I have installed Easy DPI changer from Store for sure too).

If you ever tried to do that you probably found a bug with viewfinder in stock camera (displays only part of the screen in lower resolutions).

My adb settings:

start terminal in pc

adb shell [press ENTER]

wm size 1080x2160 [press ENTER] ...(original = 1440x2880)

wm density 424 [press ENTER] ...you can change this by your mind (original = 640)

"minor" problems if you set lower resolution:

AoD doesn't work (I can't say = never use it) -> I am using NoLED apk from Store instead = notifications for missed calls/sms... (works flawlessly).

capture+ have similar bug to the stock camera = only part of the screen is captured (again I am not using it -> ss taken by [power][-] combo or by 3rd party apk).

Warning: Don't touch "Settings/Display/Display size/" = it resets density to default (640).

INSTALL:

You can use File manager with access to root but I am doing it in TWRP because I can change system files only in there.

1) go to TWRP / Mount -> System (if it isn't mounted already) / go back -> Advanced -> start File Manager

2) go to root/system/etc/ and rename camera_config.xml to camera_config.xml.bak

3) copy my config in here

4) reboot to system

5) open file manager with access to root: root/system/etc/ and set permission to 644 [-rw-r--r--] for camera_config.xml

I didn't test it much yet -> let me know if viewfinder in any camera mod (front/rear/photo/video) is bugged yet.

Graphy support:

camera_config.xml contains more camera settings like enabling graphy support too.

This feature is presented ONLY in manual camera mode and you have to download apk from store as well.
