No need to relock bootloader!

Chinese sellers used Xiaomi leaked dev accounts which are made to unlock bootloaders without any accounts. This is complete safe. If you are already unlocked then its safe to bind your account and play with Xiaomi.eu rom or others.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BathshebaX:
I like to lock the bootloader again so i can bind my account when i unlock it again in miunlock tool. because if my unit becomes soft brick, it will say Mi account is not bound in this device.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Clarkie_955i:
Did you manage to unlock again without someone else's account binding. I am having the same problem.

Thanks

I have the same problem already unlocked from a shop with Global rom.

So if I relock and unlock again I wont have a problem with account binding?

Is this right?

Thanks

You can't lock bootloader. It will brick.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Agimax:
Use the full ROM Fastboot CHINA ROM images for China Phones, again -using CHINA VERSION ONLY. You can then lock your phone back. If you try locking the phone with a GLOBAL ROM on a China phone -you will perma-brick (without EDL account).

*** MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE FULL ROM PARTITIONS USING THE FASTBOOT IMAGE METHOD. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOCK YOUR PHONE BY FLASHING ONLY THE RECOVERY ROM ZIPS.

Stereo with all the features, who is going to make it first and available?

Similar to:

amazon.com/dp/B07CMV84L2/

A6Y Pro 2G+32G-PRB-G, the G version has Gesture Control Camera

but with more RAM and ROM, etc.

I like some details on that listing, but I would like it to be PX5 or PX6, with Android OS 8.1 and/or 9(Pie) upgradable, and be able to run Android Auto app. Also I want the current top specs I see now like 4GB Ram/64GB Rom. I hope for a good IPS screen that has good sun glare reduction. Features like DVD, Navigation App, TPMS/4G dongle/Dab+ input, steering wheel audio control with voice activation preset,Quick Booting, Latest Dual Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX for handsfree & data transfer, if that helps stream calls, and music. Dual Wi-Fi AC,N, bands. A USB Hub Quickcharge 3.0 which is on my LG G6 phone too keep charged with enough USB power output. I have a Kenwood DMX6705S that I'm returning because it is not working with the connections well between Pandora, and also Android Auto, I also thought it was the Kenwood DMX7705S with 2 USB ports, but now hope to get a unit with 4+ USB ports (like the KURATU stereo in the poll, or even able to use a USB hub full powered DC with data transfer), to handle connections for a USB Flash drive/USB HDD 256GB+, with my Android phone charging and sharing files, and maybe still have my old iPOD or data mp3 player connected, and still would be nice if 4 ports to be able to use a 3/4g Cell Modem Adapter or something else. I like the other features, TPMS, DVR, Dash-Cam, Rear Cam, Gesture Cam or Inside Camera options too. 3 sets of RCA (4volt+), HD screen, DVD player, and AM, FM, HD Radio. A 9+band EQ, with DSP and nice onboard 4x50+watt amp. I may edit and add features, please submit suggestions that include most or all of these features. I have put in this 7" but would consider trying to fit a 10.1" I haven't seen one with a tiltable and pivot arm to adjust the viewing the most stereo console is not well suited for a drivers viewing maybe like a wall mountable arm tablet ball with a wide range of motion. Maybe the Gesture control too, but with a movable sensor or camera to customize where you can do hand signals at. Most important is sound and availability of music, bottom line is it must perform into a nice sounding system with multiple input & output connections for expanding the system. I hope to find a unit with a dev community to support updates like I see some of the articles on the PX5+ units. Thank you all in advance for your input, suggestions, and interest. Please post any new units that meet most of these features if not all for the viewers to consider, the poll is just examples that don't have all the features in one unit. Any Stereo MFG please message me for more details on these features or ideas to improve products. :cool:

Similar but I'm looking for updated features

Please list a specific model # and link if possible, but I don't see any with all features in one stereo.

I don't see an either of those companies with either 4GB RAM or 64GB ROM which I've seen on several new units. I'd also like to have all these features:

Android 8.1+ or 9.0 currently released ETA on unit with it?

4 USB 3.0 ports with enough Amps for Quickcharge 3.0

Bluetooth 5.0

4G sim slot, Wifi AC, GPS, DVD, ODB2, TPMS, HD Radio not DAB

10.1" IPS with dayview, tilt & pivot

I guess it's just not production yet or not available yet.
[Android Head-Units] eric4479:
Anybody find a car stereo with:

long distance Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm Aptx-HD

Android 8.0+ works with Android Auto, that will be upgradable to Android 9.0

RAM of 4GB, and storage onboard of 64GB

programmable Hands-free voice actions to factory SWC

4 USB 3.0 ports with Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0, able to play Ipod, Flac, Mp3

support SD-card 1TB, cellular 4G sim slot, long range Wifi AC+N, high quality GPS external sensor, DVD, ODB2, TPMS, AM/FM/USA HD Radio Tuner with RDS

7" or 10.1" screen IPS with daytime nit viewing on tilt & pivot mounting

High Quality Audio FLAC, with high quality DSP, 16+ band EQ, with 6 total RCA outputs with 4 volt strong signals, and SPDIF digital output connector.

So after i updated note 9 to Pie last week, I noticed pictures I'm taking with motion photos on are now backed up in google photos even when they are uploaded as (High Quality - unlimited storage). did anyone notice this? Also i noticed that the motion photo fails to play and can't even download them. will try to share the picture today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jasonbeth1022:
I just checked mine and indeed they are being backed up and it shows the motion option. Mine are like yours and will not play. It does allow me to save to device but even then it will not play the motion.

Motion Photos taken from S8 works fine.

I am using Galaxy S8. I have noticed that after Android PIE update recently, the photos taken from Samsung Camera app were backed up on Google Photos (in High Quality-Unlimited mode). When viewed on Google Photos the photo automatically starts playing Motion Video. It works perfectly fine for me. Also Google Photos has added option to "Select Shots" and adjust the pic according to chosen frame.

Version 1 posted here: https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/themes-apps/app-quick-tiles-t3904002. Please direct all requests, comments, etc., to the new thread.

I've been slowly working up to an implementation of quick settings tiles for the NST/G, with my various menus for the Reading Now "button", WiFi, and Alternate Power Menu. I now have what I would consider a beta app which brings

user-configurable

(within limits!) quick settings tiles to the NST/G. As conceived, this app could be assigned to the "clock" (current WiFi Quick Setting).

Trying to stay within the typical scope of quick settings tiles as implemented on current Android systems, I've mainly looked at connectivity and display. I don't see any reason to create another "launcher", although I have made exceptions for display modes such as NoRefresh and FastMode.

These are the options I have now:

WiFi (long press is the WiFi settings menu)

WiFi + Sync (for GApps users; long press is the WiFi settings menu followed by sync)

FTP (accesses ES File Explorer Remote Manager for wireless transfer to and from PC or other devices)

Screen rotation

Screenshot

NoRefresh

FastMode2

Set Cover (sets screen"saver" image to current read book cover)

USB Host

USB Audio

I'm looking for other things that people might want while I continue to test and debug before I package up a "version 1". As of now, there are 8 spaces for options and you can arrange the tiles you choose in any order you wish, including fewer than 8 (i.e., blanks). In theory I could add another row (or remove one) but that is

not

a user-configurable option :)

Screenshot below.
[Nook Touch General] Winston S.:
Thank you for your work on this, it is greatly appreciated. I will install in the next few days and tinker.

A couple of observations (I don't know if they might be relevant to your app, in the sense that you might be able to implement these "tweaks" as a tile.)

1. Can NoRefresh be used Nook-wide? I know it has a whitelist, but can it include every single part of the system so it doesn't deactivate when you move around? For example, it irks me when I'm in eBookDroid and upon selecting the Outline (Table of Contents) NoRefresh deactivates, so I need to re-activate it.

2. The other one is the Screensaver. Why on earth isn't it possible to have a screensaver which just leaves the page which was active in the moment the Nook goes to sleep, maybe with a small translucent notice saying something like "Press n to Wake up Device"? This seems much preferable to putting up a screensaver with some artwork on it.

3. I haven't yet installed your app, but upon pressing a tile, if there would be a floating context menu (for example corresponding to different options for an app) it would be great, but it might defeat the purpose of simplicity.

In any case, thank you!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
This is a common problem with NoRefresh on changing views. To my knowledge it's just the nature of the beast. Sometimes you can simply do the taps again and it will come back. Sometimes it gets knocked out completely and needs to be retoggled. That's what the quick tile is for. You would not want it "on", certainly, all the time. Besides not looking very nice it would consume a lot of extra juice.

Actually, someone did look into this. You can read about it here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694245

Not sure what you have in mind for context. The tile items are meant to be quick settings/modes/toggles all collected in one place. Essentially just a tap and you're done. Things like NoRefresh, for example, have configuration apps as well, but that's not what the tiles are for. And besides, at the moment I have no idea how to do what you describe :o
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] redlee90:
Call screen is awesome but most people would just hang up right after they hear "Hi, the person you're calling is using a screening service...". So I figured out a way to customize screen call greetings and other built-in screen call audios. Please follow these steps:

1. Make sure your Pixel is rooted since you will have to modify app data inside the /data/data directory. Also make sure call screen is activated on your phone as this ensures that all audio files are already downloaded before we proceed to next steps.

2. Use any root explorer -- in my case solid explorer, to navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/cache/incall_audio_files directory.

3. You can see two folders. one contains audio files for female voices (suffixed with "_f"), the other one has audio files for male voices(suffixed with "_d"). Open folder of your choice (male/female voice) and you will find a list of audio files. Locate the ones you are interested in and replaced them with your own voice. I used "Audio Recorder" from F-droid to do the recording. The default audio files that Google used for call screen are in opus format so you might want to record your own voice in this format as well. After that just give it the same name as the audio file you want to replace and use any root explore to replace it. If you look at the attachment, I only replaced the file audio for greetings ("Hi, the person...").

I tested this on my Pixel 3 XL with Phone apps from version 27.0.225048436 to 29.0.232527399. I believe it should work on all phones that have call screen enabled including but not limited to Pixel 3, Pixel 3XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel and Pixel XL. That being said, your mileage may vary.

UPDATE1:

For version 29 and above, audio files are now located under "/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/files/superpacks/call_screen_audio_messages". To quickly locate which audio file to replace, open "/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/files/superpacks/manifests/call-screen-audio-messages-1" and you can find the map between audio file name and its corresponding call screen audio transcript. See second attachment.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] UniX1rm:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paz9:
Same thing in Australia

it was one of the key selling points by google - they forgot to mentions it only works in the US.

i wonder if anyone has found a way to enable it globally .
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] swieder711:
On my Pixel 3 XL the folder /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/cache only has a subfolder persistent_log. I am running version 29 of the phone dialer and the Feb patch.

It would be great to modify the audio file for the call screener. I have call screener ENABLED.

What is the full name of the audio file that you are replacing? Maybe I can Find it via Root Explorer. (never mind, I saw your screen grab with the file listed).

EDIT - I see that I am running phone v29-publicbeta. See attached.

Any other suggestions?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] swieder711:
Here is what I tried:

Checked the manifest (see screen shot)

Found the call screen message, played it to double check,

Created my own outbound message and renamed it to the same as listed in the manifest (attached, labelled zip so I could upload. It is an .opus file)

Copied to this to the messages sub-folder, changed permissions to rw

When I call my phone and screen it, the old message still played!

Tried rebooting the phone. Maybe I need to clear the cache.

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] redlee90:
If you look at the manifest file you can see for each gender there are two "Hi, the person..." messages, they differ slightly as one is for known number and the other one is for unknown number. You need to replace both of the corresponding audio files for new greetings to kick in for call incoming calls. Please don't clear cache/storage for phone app as this will likely delete everything you have modified so far. Also no reboot is needed. The mod takes effect immediately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] swieder711:
Has anyone else gotten this to work? I replaced both opus files listed in the manifest. My phone app crashed when I called it.

Ended up reinstalling the default app and resetting call screening.

Would like to try it again, but am not sure why my recent attempt failed.

Hearing a few success stories from others would encourage me to try again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] redlee90:
Did you keep those opus file names unchanged? Also, are your opus files valid? You can try my opus file at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEAHgRJzTmTAk9l2oSU50xTYGAgTvEtQ/view (xda doesn't allow opus attachment so I I uploaded mine to Google drive). Make sure the file has the same name as the file you want to replace.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] swieder711:
Can you please list the procedure that you used to customize the outbound call screen message?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jasonlee0315:
Step1: Use TTS website to generate and download each custom Call Screen messages which are all in *.mp3 file extension.

Step2: Use an online converter to convert *mp3 to *.opus.

Step3: Find the *.opus file that you want to replace in /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/files/superpacks/call_screen_audio_messages/

Step4: Rename your *.opus file with the same name as the original file.

Step5: Replace the original *.opus file with your custom *opus file.

Step6: Force close Phone app.

Step7: Make a call to test the result.

Step8: Voila~ You got the custom Call Screen message.

How do you know which Opus file is the one to replace?

I tried playing a bunch of the Opus files and they were all 0 seconds long.

I used "Opus File Player"
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jasonlee0315:
Files that you need to replace are all written in the "call_screen_audio_messages-2" and "call_screen_audio_messages-6". (Filename may vary)

You can find those two files under this path \data\data\com.google.android.dialer\files\superpacks\manifests

Open these files with text editor and search for the Default Call Screen message you want to customize. After you find it, you can also find the corresponding file directory that contains the *.opus you need to replace.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jasonlee0315:
The Groove player that is pre-installed in Windows 10 can open and preview *.opus file. You don't even need to download any opus file player
