Hey everyone! I'm relatively new here and just thought i might start up a thread in which we can all post our software configurations on our Phones (Kaiser/TyTnII/Tilt/etc.). I'd really like to know what applications you all use and which ones you would recommend. Well I'll be the first to go :).

FTouchFlo 1.4.1 (I really like this nifty little thing, gives you the ability to call up your Cube by a swipe of the finger)

SCLPC++ 0.051 (This is great for when you only have one hand free and need to quickly call someone or run an app, I use SCLPC++ Configurator along with it)

VTap Video (Great free Mobile video streaming program)

Microsoft LiveSearch (Excellent to find out..anything lol)

GoogleMaps Mobile (Great if you want a free gps navigator, has worked real good for me so far along with LiveSearch)

JBed3D (How many of you can resist a little 3d gaming on the go?)

PHM RegEdit (Nifty little free registry editor)

TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle (Great if you want to stream video or audio from websites, works great with YTPocket.com)

Bejeweled 2, Madden NFL, Tradewinds 2 (Some great games to play on the go imho)

MobiTV (Nice program for watching TV on your mobile)

Now to ask for a few recommendations, I need a good Large Digital Clock for my Today screen and an advanced task manager. Besides those i really would like to know any and all software everyone uses on their phones :).

Oh Oh do we get name tags and special fun markers? I call dibs on reb and blue first. Oh and I think it would be super sweet if we were all wearing matching shirts.

I couldn't like without Google Maps (yeah I download my maps, I'm not a cheap @#$@#d) and TCPMP for my youtube/eskimotube lovin. Oh and lets not forget SiriusWM5 .. Gotta hear that Howard Stern.

Below is the script to randomise bootanimations on every boot with a shell script...

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system
min=1
max=5
number=0
while [ "$number" -lt $min ]
do
number=$RANDOM
let "number %= $max"
done
cd /system/media
mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.temp
mv bootanimation${number}.zip bootanimation.zip
mv bootanimation.temp bootanimation${number}.zip
chmod 644 bootanimation.zip
mount -o remount,ro /system

for this you need to place 4 bootanimations with names

bootanimation1.zip

bootanimation2.zip

bootanimation3.zip

bootanimation4.zip

in /system/media

You can also do this by using ROM Toolbox...

For now you have 5 bootanimation...

If you want more then place extra bootanimation.zip's then change max according to your preference and those file names in the format bootanimation{max-1}.zip as last bootanimation...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Peahiwaters:
I can soon finally unlock my phone. However, I am kind of lost.

I know I need to pick my ROM myself. What I dont know yet, is what general differences Oreo vs. Pie has and Miui vs. Aosp. vs. Loe in terms of battery, Camera, stability, security and performance.

From what I gather Oreo ROMs are most stable, but lack latest security updates. MIUI has best battery life and Camera. How do Greenified Aosp ROMS with gcam compare?

I dont really like Miui, but I really enjoy the battery life at the moment. On my Note 3 I enjoyed the control RR gave me overmy experience.

Greetings
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] fxdxkx:
has your phone ever been hacked? Do you really need security updates?

I recommended AEX, RR, on Oreo.

Pie roms can't recording stereo sound, The volume control of the call and notification is still. united, it is very uncomfortable.

Best pie roms — Havoc, Liquid remix if you want good customization.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Peahiwaters:
Thanks for the answer. I might aswell just go with RR again. You are right. Do you know how RR and AEX compare in terms of Battery consumption?

Now i have 7h 22m SOT, but! I played PUBG for 3h22m.

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] jason2678:
I've been using this phone for about 3 weeks, and I've noticed it seems to have a very aggressive low memory killer or a rogue task killer. I haven't installed any task killers or battery savers that should be doing this, so it seems to be system behavior.

If I airplane mode my phone, by the time I reconnect it, it has almost always killed DNS66. I can pause Pandora and just leave the phone laying on my desk. When I come back it will have killed Pandora. The last straw was today when it killed Rocket Player while it was actively playing.

The only device I've ever seen kill an active app only has 1 GB RAM. The last phone I used only had 2 GB RAM and it handled background apps way better than my Nokia 6.1 is.

Has anyone else seen this, or better yet, do you know how to stop it?

I have a TA-1045 running Pie on the Dec 2018 security patch. No root, no mods, no task killers - just bone stock behavior. The only non-Play store app I have is DNS66.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] runekock:
Have a look at

https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] jason2678:
Excellent! Just killed that battery protection app. Can't wait to fire up adb and get rid of it entirely. I can't believe Nokia thought end users would desire this kind of behavior.

If this works out, you just saved me a phone. I was not going to put up with this much longer.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] jason2678:
Well that didn't work. Force closing the battery protection app like suggested in that link didn't change aggressively killing off idle apps. The package manager adb command exits with success, but the battery protection app is still on the phone ruining its memory management.

Have you managed to get this phone to work properly with respect to background apps? Did you make any other modifications or do any other debloating?

Otherwise this is a pretty decent phone. Smooth enough and plenty fast for everything I use it for. The camera is a little sub-par, but no complaints for what I paid for it. Gotta skimp somewhere for a price point that low. However, sometimes it feels like this thing has a mind of its own, and its mostly due to how aggressively it kills off tasks. They aren't even always what I'd call idle, like a paused media player or a DNS server not currently in use. It is really disappointing. This isn't what I expected out of an Android One device.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] runekock:
The Nokia 6.1 belongs to my father, and this problem hasn't bother him, so I haven't tried anything myself.

Maybe you need to be rooted to uninstall the task-killer? But then, I don't know a way to root the phone, either.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] jason2678:
You're probably right since it is installed as a system app. It is just odd that the package manager command exits with Success. You'd think it would throw a Permission Denied or Only Root can do that error.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koroji:
I'm trying to add a TTS engine on my android head unit to enable TTS on my GPS application. I use iGO and it needs VocalizerEx.

My unit has a quad core allwinner T3 with android 7.1.1.

My head unit came with PicoTTS installed. I installed VocalizerEx with the language files in the correct path, entered in its settings and selected my language. After exiting and entering TTS settings again, the selected TTS engine is PicoTTS. The same thing is happening after restarting my unit. Also the "listen to an example" works only with PicoTTS. I have tried almost any version of VocalizerEx I have found.

I guessed it’s a permissions issue because PicoTTS is installed as a system app and I cannot root my device to convert VocalizerEx to system app (I tried Kingoroot e.t.c with no luck).

I have the .img file of my OS. After many attempts I figured out how to unpack my OS, edit the system image and repack it. I removed the PicoTTS.apk and added VocalizerEx in system apps. Updated my unit with my edited OS and VocalizerEx got installed but it’s still not working. Also this time I’m not able to enter in VocalizerEx settings to select my language. When I hit the settings button it enters in “language and input” menu and exits immediatly. Why could that happening?

Afterwards I installed PicoTTS.apk (extracted from system.img) using ES file explorer but it didn’t work either. It seems like my unit works only with PicoTTS and only if it’s installed along with the firmware as a system app.

What else could I try?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Peet13:
I have the same problem. Did anyone reply to this thread? I also would like to know what to do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagelan3340:
All this started when I was installing substratum theme into my marshmallow phone (yes I know, this was the dumbest experiment I've ever done to my phone), and after rebooting my phone, somehow my phone is stuck in first Lenovo logo before boot animation, and somehow my entire system got bricked (including the charging screen when charging when the phone is turned off). After that, I'm installing the Resurrection Remix custom ROM the install was successful (except for 2 errors when installing), and after booting into the OS everything is okay. but the time I will install Gapps, my recovery won't even open. I have pressed Vol-Up+Vol-Down+Power as the instruction says, it just doing like a vibration loop (the Lenovo boot logo appears then the screen goes black, and vibrate, and the screen comes back on, and so on), and at one moment my screen won't even turn on, it's just vibrating. And now I can't even access the recovery.

My second problem is when I'm turning my phone off, its just starting up automatically, just exactly like a rebooted phone. And now I can't even turn off my phone.

Then, what should I do to fix that two things? Did I have to flash a new custom TWRP or flash other RR ROM? You can ask me for a pic or even video...

I'm an Amateur in this Android hacking and rooting, my only experience is rooting and completely modding my old phone (android 4.4.2). And sorry for my Bad English because I don't speak English very well

[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] Pigeon62:
The same as the topic title, do anyone know why nokia x7 is cheaper than nokia 8.1

I have check some site like GsmArena and kimovil

There are no major difference that worth 100$ difference (at my country they sold x7 for 250$ and 8.1 for 350$)

Finally, if i go for nokia x7, can I fully convert it into nokia 8.1

Thank in advance
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] hchao1:
There are several major differences:

1. 8.1 is in Android One program, and it supports all Google services. X7 is not an Android One phone, and it does not support some Google services such as Location History, Google Pay etc.

2. 8.1 has NFC while X7 does not.

3. LTE band support: 4G/LTE has two main standards: FD-LTE and TD-LTE. 4G in China is TD-LTE, so X7 (the CN version) has a good and wide range support for TD-LTE bands but only limited support for FD-LTE. The 8.1 has pretty much the same TD-LTE coverage as the X7 but also adds much better coverage on FD-LTE bands. With X7 you can get good 4G coverage in China but may be not elsewhere in the world, unless the region/country also deploys TD-LTE for 4G. With 8.1 you can get decent 4G reception anywhere in the world without having to worry about 4G support if you need to travel frequently. For example, 8.1 has the same 4G coverage as X7 in China, but in the U.S. X7 can only support limited few carriers. And even if X7 happens to support one or two FD-LTE bands a carrier has, chances are it won't be able to support carrier aggregation to double/triple 4G network bandwidths due to the limited FD-LTE bands it supports.

Nokia 8.1 bandwidth support in the U.S.:

w ww.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/nokia-8-1

Nokia X7 bandwidth support in the U.S.:

w ww.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/nokia-x7

The cellular/3G/4G band certification is a major cost for mobile phone manufacturers, and I think that is probably the main reason why 8.1 is more expensive than X7. I've been thinking about buying an X7 from China online instead of 8.1 because of the obvious quite big price difference, but that's before I found out the LTE bands support issue. I've since dropped that idea.
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] njckjen:
There is something I found from other devs, they said X7 use RAM and memory type which is differrent with 8.1 (Hynix vs Samsung) and the screen protection is differrent too (they guest).

And maybe 1 more X7 is only for china market, which is usually cheaper price than other market for the same device (as mine zone, it always like that)

Thats some reasons can make X7 cheaper than 8.1
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] nickyip123:
But the screen protection written in the ads of x7 and 8.1 is the same. For the RAM, even they are from different brands, I think the difference is not subtle.

I was just screwing around today and decided to download Winamp to see how much has changed in the 10 years since I last used it. Man this new winamp remote feature they have is awesome! It streams your entire music collection to your phone or any other desktop computer.

I'm running a T-Mobile Dash flashed with Ricky's Rom v20 and this app was very easy to set up. Nothing to install on the phone, just install winamp and set up your free remote account. Then point your phone's browser to www.winamp.com/remote and sign in. viola! You can even stream over EDGE at about 81kbps, and it doesn't sound great, but it's still sweet to have your whole music collection on the go! I haven't tried it with GPRS yet, but Wi-Fi is MP3 quality.

Thanks for this share. Can you give more details about your usage? Are you running MIUI and did you have to flash Disable DM-Verity? Did you have any difficulties getting this recovery running? E.g. black screen etc.

I had a look at the recovery-twrp flash tool.bat file. It seems to use the usual "fastboot.exe flash recovery" BUT it also flashes an additional file (fastboot.exe flash para misc.bin >NUL 2>NUL) and flashes misc.bin. Can you confirm what misc.bin is and where did you get this custom recovery?

This information would be helpful to everybody else
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] seanho12345:
Yes, I'm running on MIUI 10 and it works perfectly fine for me. Unlike the official TWRP, you don't need to format data for this. So all of your applications and files will still stay in place.

For me, I just went into fastboot mode and use the tool to flash it. Nothing goes wrong.

Also, this recovery use a default password to unlock the /data partition. So you don't have to flash anything else to get this to work.

IDK what is that misc.bin tho
