Arnova's v8.2: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-08-13, changelog)

Although I am not certain if it is the best. When visiting the rose parade floats, there were random times where focus was an issue. I will experiment further with other versions. Many of the apks that are not compatible will just not start up (black screen or return to home screen). It would be nice to find a more stable version.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] biasiman:
I agree except for the stock camera For outdoor photos in bright light... textures are always "muddier" than gcam to me. It can have a more precise light sometimes but it's a price not worth to pay IMO. If someone doesn't want to be bothered I'd suggest to use only the google camera 6 in order to have at hand always the night mode, arnova is generally sharper but you need to fully zoom it to spot the difference... i noticed also that the night mode of camera 6 produces better results than arnova even in mid/low light scenes but not always and not for all the shots... smt i make two shots with arnova and camera 6 night mode and keep the best... pity that camera 6 doesn't allow to be started by double tapping on the power button though.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] rob.1:
Are you running Pie or Oreo? Are you having intermittent focus issues with the gcams? Will night sight always allow a second night sight photo without restarting the camera app? Have you looked at a solid blue sky with HDR on any gcam, and is there a pattern there? Thank you.

BTW, all my tests I enlarged the photos to 100% pixel level and more in PS comparing many areas of the photo in unison.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] biasiman:
I'm running Pie, i do have some refocusing (but often it stops) but only in very low light condition. I didn't experience problems on second shots of night mode but smt it quits when i select night mode though. I do remember sometimes to see a pattern but only in night mode and in bright light I think. That was also a reason for not to use always the night mode btw... will do a shot on a deep blu sky when I'll see it :) but as far as I remember I didn't see this issue with arnova at least
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] Andreagia1994:
I use one Gcam app called "Gcamera" is only in english and hdr front camera works..but is a older version of gcam and don't have a night mode photo etc, IMHO the best choice is for video on 60fps the xiaomi camera (in Pie update 60fps is enable) , for general video and photo gcam (a lot of optimization and hdr+) , and for selfies gcam with hdr off..waiting for it to work. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] biasiman:
I didn't test it toroughly but I had the impression the video to be more stabilized and better detailed with arnova than the stock one... moreover I can use H265 to encode it...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] biasiman:
btw i do have focusing problems with gcam and pie... :(
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] yaco96:
At the moment, the only solution for focus Gcam problem, Is change 4:3 to 16:9 and restart the app...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] biasiman:
? i'm always in 16:9 but when I switch it doesn't work anyway...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] yaco96:

This developer's works great for me, no crashes on night sight so far and more customisable

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/

Just don't switch to the front camera and photobooth or you have to force stop the camera to be able to save images

To have it faster, smaller, VGA, and HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER working

I will suggest:

1) Upgrade the BIG HTC HOME

go to http://xdaforums.com/show...47&postcount=2

download addons.rar

unrar and install HTCHome_1025_721_ALL.cab

This file has all the SDKCERTS and could UPDATE the AP4

2) Upgrade it again using the VGA version

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1734259&postcount=1

is older, but it looks great. The only difference between the HTCHome_1025_721_ALL.cab is in photo contacts, having this one no control over the number to dial. It uses the default one

This version WORKS fine with HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER ( http://www.pocketemu.com, customize it, add remove tabs, icons, cities.. )

At the end of the process you will have a smaller and less resource hungry HTC home, HTC Home customizer working, FASTER, also in portrait/landscape switching!

If you like the BIG ONE I will suggest the latest here (transparent or coloured) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=373777

It is a mix of Touch comander v3 + HTC Home VGA Screen

[Amazfit] apollow2007:
After tried out both China and Global version of Verge ROM, I noticed that in Global ROM, the lap time for sport activities (run etc) is displayed in HH:mm:as format whereas in China ROM the lap time is shown in mm:ss format. Therefore for the text in global ROM is smaller. The simple font Courier like font that they used make it even worst.

Is there any to change it or escalate to Verge support team to ask them look into it?

I was wondering is it possible to root this phone on pie or oreo ? It is a nice phone but i hate the ads and memory management doesn't look nice on pie.
[Nokia 7.1 Guides, News, & Discussion] djechelon:
Rooting is possible. I am working on it but should be straightforward as usual.

1. Unlock bootloader (there is a tricky procedure involving Nokia authorization code and download of a customized APK)

2. Flash TWRP. I am looking into "running" TWRP like I do on Nexus-es/Pixel-s

3. Flash Magisk.zip via TWRP
[Nokia 7.1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mayankjet:

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ElAguila:
I was clearing some of the notifications on my Galaxy Watch. One was a text message notification and instead of clearing it I accidentally tapped the little icon that blocks message notifications from that person instead. I can't find on any setting how to unblock it so my watch will get notifications when I get texts from this person.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] burrzoo:
I just played around with this. I blocked myself and the only way I found to Un-Block my number was to:

1) go into the Wear (Galaxy Wearable) app,

2) go into the Notifications section and **turn off** Messages Notifications.

3) Then I actually turned off Bluetooth to disconnect my Note 9 from my Galaxy Watch.

4) Went back into the Wear app & the Notifications section and RE-Enabled notifications for Messages

5) Turned Bluetooth back on and made sure that I was reconnected to my watch by looking in the Wear app

6) Sent myself a text--> Notification appeared on my phone and Once Again on my Galaxy Watch!

Very weird that there's not an easier way and if there is, I haven't found it. Also strange that this process clears the blocked number but I guess because I turned off Messages notifications made it kind of do a reset for this particular text app.

[Tizen Software Development] Qiangong2:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE DIES DUE TO THIS

​

I have successfully created a custom kernel for the Samsung Z2! This is built from source using the linaro 4.9 gcc toolchain here: https://github.com/ne0z/tizen_toolchain_kernel

This will only work on the Samsung Z2, not any other tizen phone.

This has only been tested on the Z200F. I have not tried any other variant, but it should work.

In my testing, there hasn't been any difference in performance.

It is a "dirty" kernel because it is not officially signed by Samsung

This kernel is an upstreamed kernel, meaning that it has been updated to linux kernel 3.10.106. There are no other edits besides that.

Attached you will find the tar file which contains two files. dzimage and modules.img. You require both of them to boot the kernel. This is because Tizen does not use a boot.img or a recovery.img.

To flash the kernel, use either lthor or ODIN. ODIN is recommended. If you don't know what lthor is, it isn't for you.

Steps

:

1) Boot your Z2 into Download mode

2) Load the tar file into ODIN in AP

3) Flash

4) Profit

To verify that you have the new kernel running properly, download AIDA64 from the tizen store and open the "Tizen" option. Scroll down to kernel version and you should see the new kernel version say "3.10.106-dirty"

Enjoy!

[Honor Play Questions & Answers] SharmaNitin:
Hi guys, my EMUI version is 8.2 and I am concerned about ram management of honor play.

Most of apps reload when launch them from recent apps.

Even youtube also reloads that too playing video if i switch to some another app.

Available ram in my phone is around 1Gb only (out of 4Gb). Earlier I used redmi note 3 3Gb variant and in that 1.5Gb ram was available.

Do you guys are also facing the same problem or is there any setting for ram management.

P.S. This is a new unit and I can still replace it till tomorrow.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] Zyfe3r0:
Nope. Somehow mine always keep around 2gb free also if it dips below 800mb, just restart the phone.

Or goto phone manager app management and change automatic control to manual and change the auto run to FALSE
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] SharmaNitin:
Restarting the phone helped. Thanks a lot. Don't know why I did not restarted phone.

But after 6-7 hrs available ram drops to 1.2Gb.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
Yes, restarting your phone only works if you're happy constantly restarting your phone.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] SharmaNitin:
Is there permanent solution. Maybe restart once or twice a week!
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
That's a workaround, not a solution.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] justwondering:
Have you added apps to the "ignore battery optimization"? I also lock apps that I want to run in the background too for faster load times.... Works perfectly for me

I'm on the official Emui 8.2

For ignore battery optimization options follow this path

Settings, apps and notifications, apps, then choose the icon at the bottom "settings", special access, ignore battery optimization.

Change the tab to all apps and then click an app and add to ignore battery optimization.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Tehbro:
Been a long time greenify user and I just flashed crDroid recently though I turned the battery manager off as it might interfere with greenify. Has anyone tried using the both together? Standby drain seems to have increased in pie and I was thinking if the battery manager would help (and not cause noticeable inconveniences such as delays in notifications).
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] zack0386:
I'm also on cr droid and that is kind of an double edged sword. I would certainly suggest not use both. And battery manager is also a reported bug in pie. But ram management is the whole point of pie and supposedly the biggest improvement. Some builds of cr droid I got 1 hour screen time and others I get 9-10. I think pie changed so much it's still an infant and I can also say that I'm a long term greenfly user and stopped using it on pie. It wasn't helping because the point of phones with 8 gigs of ram and background ram management is to leave processes open and let android idle them. So constantly killing background processes and reinstatement when the screen turns back off is way more taxing on the CPU. And I have honestly found the best results by using neither. Greenify used to be a must have but I believe its no longer needed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
So Im trying to find out if there is an easier way to connect to device wifi connection like GoPros and drones etc....

The various apps have solutions for connecting to the wifi, but it doesn't work until I:

* Go to wifi networks

* Pick a different wifi network

* Pick the device wifi again

* Wait for pop-up

* Get this screen: https://i.imgur.com/XuhYKSS.png

* Then click yes

* Go back into the app

I see there is an option to "don't ask again for this network" but that just causes it not to work at all. Like my phone is connected to the wifi but the app doesn't work until I click those pop-ups.

It happens with: yi 4k action camera, dji spark drone and green mountain grills.View attachment 4677679

Trying to give some life to an older Nexus 7 2013 so a new ROM. Boot to Fastboot mode (power and volume down) and fastboot devices shows the tablet.

Then fastboot oem unlock and receive the prompt on the tablet to choose Yes or No. Volume Up to choose Yes and press power and then the tablet just hangs there.

Powered the tablet off and try to reboot normally and it just hangs on the boot animation. I am sure I made no changes to it since I did was to to reboot to Fastboot mode which when I do again it shows locked and secure.

Any ideas ? Can what I did have bricked the device?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lchiu7:
OK - just an update to this situation. Apparently nothing is supposed to happen after you press Power to select but something should happen on the PC. Nothing did. So we tried a different cable and this time we saw messages on the PC and the Nexus 7 entered the bootloader state showing unlocked. That's good. But it still would hang on the animation bootup screen.

So this time I got into the bootloader again and flashed the stock ROM via Fastboot using the flash-all.bat file. That also completed fine but now when the tablet rebooted, it goes into the Google loop. So something has changed but it's still not usable. Did try to flash TWRP earlier and while I got into the TWRP screen briefly, it then rebooted back to the animation loop.

Anything else I could try - ideas really appreciated. It's annoying since I did this to another Nexus 7 and it all went fine.
