[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gruuvin:
TaskS2 seems to be the ONLY solution available for all Samsung watches since the S2. It was developed four years ago, it's buggy, and is not well designed intuitively. This goes for both the watch and companion app on the Android host (phone).

So, why is there no better alternative that has come out since then?

I have some home automation with REST APIs I wrote and run on Raspberry PIs. I use the RESTask plugin for Tasker to make calls to my homeauto api from the phone.

Now I've just gotten my first Samsung watch (the Galaxy Watch) and I've set up TaskS2 to interface with my Tasker tasks. It works..... sometimes (forget the TaskS2 widget, it is useless). One problem I found right away with the TaskS2 task lists is that they won't come up on the watch when you actually need them, and I think that might be because the companion app on the phone gets put to sleep by the Android OS (Samsung S7 w/Oreo).

Are people just not interested watch-to-Tasker integration because it requires Tasker and/or TaskS2 phone app to stay awake all the time and drain battery? Doubt it.

Why no love for Tasker?

I had fairly good Tasker integration on my Pebble back in 2014, and we can't do it on Tizen five years later?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] dersie:
Task S2 works fine and any time I want to use for me.

User must ensure that all needed app are running every time on the phone : Samsung app and all needed compagnon app like this for Task S2, so need to exclude to battery optimisation and grant launch at startup.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gruuvin:
Even still:

Four year old app.

Widget still broken.

UI very bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] dersie:
If you want to compare Tasker app for different watch :

Samsung :

Garmin Fenix :

pebble :

Wear OS : Tasker for Wear

Other Wear OS app : Wear Tasker

So I can not say that Samsung has bad Tasker app and nice app for other than Samsung, no ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gruuvin:
It's not the look of the TaskS2 app on the watch that is a problem. That's fine because it uses the Samsung-developed watch UI (how Samsung renderes a selectable list on the screen -- no style points there for TaskS2). It's how it functions: the way the side menu works. The way the favorites works. The way adding to Favorites works. the way one has to reset the list to get it to behave. etc. The way the widget does NOT work at all! And of the two, the watch app is the better! The phone side TaskS2 app is REALLY bad! It is ALL completely not intuitive and just plain silly.

You don't need to keep replying about how much you love TaskS2. That's not helpful.

This thread asks about at least ONE alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Na!th:
I'm also looking for an alternative.. i'm using a wearOS watch, just because Autowear gives me the needed functionalities..

if there is an alternative to TaskS2, i would consider switching to a samsung gear..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] AcCeSsDeNiEd65:
Just got my galaxy watch, and I am really disappointed too with the lack of proper tasker options.

I moved over from pebble, the tasker integration there was the best. You could use the hardware buttons to launch a task. It simply works.

Even the android wear is better than g-wach's tasker.

With the android wear lte, I could launch tasks even away from the phone's Bluetooth range.

With the g-watch's S2, you can't do that. Not sure if this is a samsung g-watch cloud limitation.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Keaselstein:
New Tasker Integration available for tizen watches

Hi there,

if you are still looking for tasker integrations for Tizen-based watches, go check out the app WatchEvents.

Right now WatchEvents provides events in Tasker that can be triggered from your watch.

Other features will be added soon.

S6 Edge+ frp U5

Hi,

there is unfortunately only one way to fix this problem which I found accidentally by sitting many hours at the pc to find a way... Go to this site

htcmania. com/archive/index.php/t-1319796. html (without spaces)

and download the spanish 4 file repair archive and load with z3x pro the AP file and then pull down the selections and select only the system.img (this is very important because otherwise you`ll get errors until you`re dead) and after reboot make a factory reset. When it comes to the setup screen make connect to wifi and go back to start screen. Then push emergency call 112 and wait a few seconds and then you can activate the bluetooth function. Connect a bluetooth with the phone and end the call. When at the start screen push the call button of your bluetooth and you will see a pop up at the screen where you select the google app and when it starts just say - open calculator and the calc app opens. Put the code (+30012012732+ in the field and you will taken to drparser mode selection. There put the *#0808# and you see your selections of usb modes . Select the DM + ACM + ADB mode and reboot. Disconnect the phone from pc . After reboot connect your phone to the pc again and wait for the fingerprint message which you have to push ok. After that you can use adb frp tool and voila there you go... Just in case if you have any troubles with your modem or imei or no call sign - just flash a modem (cp without hidden) with z3x pro again and you will be fine :)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jgobeil:
My Nexus 6 P is bricked after dropping on a hard floor... Purchased 2 years ago. Is it worth the extra money to get a Pixel 3 XL instead of the much less expensive 2 XL ?

In order of priority, my needs are:

1- Trouble free OS - Stock Android should give me that with both phones

2- Very good battery life: I often use a GPS tracking app for a full day to geotag photos and that drains the battery. My 6P won't last all day doing that since I got the Pie upgrade and before Pie, it was difficult on long days.

3- Adequate screen viewing outside on sunny days. I cannot find any info on that for either phone.

3- Good camera: The 2 XL camera has a good reputation and it seems that most 3 XL improvements are or will be available on the 2XL.

4- Screen quality: I don't really mind the blue overcast when looking at an angle but screen burn-in worries me more. Has this problem been fixed on the 2 XL ? Is it present on the 3 XL ?

There is a 345$ (Cdn $) price difference between the two. Is it worth it ???? Also, I would get a 2 yr warranty on the 2 XL and only 1 YR on the 3 XL. Finally, I don't think the 6.3" screen is an improvement because the additional .3" is useless with the notch.

Thanks for helping me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:
I got the 2xl a few months ago from Telus and love it. No screen issues, battery life is great. Lots of custom ROMs to choose from as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
Unfortunately the screen burn in cannot be "fixed" google has done some things to reduce it but its definitely still there, I've noticed some fading where my navigation bar is if I use a full screen grey background. But other than that, the XL2 is still a very solid device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Le_Combattant:
I have the Pixel 2XL for now 2 months. It's a panda version, the best version with the orange power button.

I had a Nexus 6P during 2 years before the battery life goes down (the nexus 6p's battery symptoms) 90% to 0% in 1sc and a reload time of 30sc from 0 to 100%, and it's not a joke.

I had the choice between a Pixel 3XL or the Pixel 2XL. The 3 is and still expensive but the noth is not a issue for me. But after some weeks some issue appears on the 3XL and at the same time I could have -50% on a Panda version of the Pixel 2XL with a fabric case. My choice was done.

-Great battery life (before the january patch,thx google) I was between 7-8h of SOT, now with the january's patch is more like 5-6h.

-Smooth

-Great camera but it has more noise than the Nexus 6p camera.

-Excellent screen, no burn issue and no blue effect. If you don't pass your time at full brightness, it should be good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jgobeil:
Thanks for your comments. What is the January patch ? and what is SOT ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Le_Combattant:
January patch is a security patch with software update (and sometimes issues as battery drain) Each month you have a patch, next one is February the 6th of 5th

SOT means Screen On Time, it's a thing to give us and you an idea of battery life.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jgobeil:
F inally got the 2 XL yesterday and I'm glad I did. Installation went smoothly. I tried not to use a launcher to save on battery but I had to install Nova to get rid of the annoying Google search bar that I don't use - shame on you Google ! Great battery life so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
Good call on the 2 XL. Nearly everything I've read says the jump from the Pixel to the 3 XL is worth the $$$, but going from a 2 XL to the 3 XL isn't.

When you're ready to get even better batt life, and/or further customize (Rom, kernel, root, etc.) check out the guide linked in my sig (since you;re new to the 2 XL) and below is a link to a mod that has given me exceptional batt life.

Hello guys is there anyone willing to help me out?

Im long term HTC user in the past 15 Plus years i was flshing whatever i want and im familiar with this but i switched to Pixel 2 and i want to clear for myself few things prior before to brick it.

I also read this guide: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417

But its seems like the thread is not updated and some users mention problems with flashing Magisk etc.

Im fully Stock locked bootloader with the latest Android Pie from 5 January 2018

The Pixel i use is Google Edition worlwide version not loocked to any network etc.

The main reason to want to Bootloader unlock it is because i need the Magisk in order to be able to flash and use few of the must have for me apps that i use all the time.

1st is SAURON audio - without Magisk and TWRP this is not posible.

2nnd few additional Magisk modules that i use non stop in the past few years.

What is not clear for me is the steps and exactly the second steb with Flashing Flashing factory images?!

In HTC i need to get the bootloader unlock S-OFF is i want and flash a TWRP in this case i can flash on top Magisk so here is different and not very clear for me as well.

When im now on the latest Android version from 5 January do i need still to flash FACTORY IMAGE after unlocking the bootloader?

Is anyone willing to help to clear the things out before to mess the device.

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] somin.n:
Hi :) If you just want to unlock bootloader, there is no reason to flash factory image again. Just allow unlock bootloader in developer options, reboot to bootloader and run fastboot flashing unlock, this will fully wipe/factory reset your device.

Now you could boot/flash TWRP and install magisk.

When will be new monthly update available, flash it with help of this thread:

Good luck :good:
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] tsalta:
Thank you for the info.

So this mean i dont need to flash Image if im with the latest stock Version.

I prefer to stay stock just miss some Magisk modules thats why i wondering what to do.

Can i flash just a Kernel for example KiriSakura after unlock the bootloader and install TWRP just to flash Kiri Kernel with the stock rom im now and other Magisk stuffs like Sauron etc.

Thanks again
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] somin.n:
Hi :) exactly, if you run latest stock you havn't flash it again after bootloader unlock.

If you want to petmanently flash twrp, you have to do it before flashing magisk, othetwise you willn't be able to boot os only twrp.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rupamxx:
This is the proof that our redmi y2/s2 supports project treble. About this, the bootloader needs to be unlocked and have had a working custom recovery to flash any gsi. The architecture seem to be a problem, but arm gsi are also available. So, all we need now is a stable working recovery to test the roms. And the bootloader has to be individually worked on to get a x64 architecture support. X32 arch. roms are actually used to lessen heating issues and increase battery life but it also reduces the full potential of the device.

In short, these are the two main things to that needs be worked upon:

a) Bootloader

b) Custom recovery (stable)
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rupamxx:
After we get those, we need to test to know if the vendor files of x32 works on x64.

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalima:
Hello,

I wanted to reach out as I am having some difficulty getting custom ROMs to work correctly, and the issues I am experiencing seem to be unique in that no-one else in the ROM threads are having the same issues, so I suspect there may be something I am missing that is causing me issues.

I previously was on an older version of lineage, but decided to take the plunge and try out treble, so I have upgraded myself to EMUI 8.

The version I went to is 8.0.0.369, although the build number shows as 8.0.0.046 (0OXY).

From there I flashed a Treble TWRP - https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3773970

I then went to try out Haky86's LineageOS 16.0 Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1, but this required me to flash a new TWRP, but I had to do a ADB shell command to clear data every time I went into TWRP. I had a few other issues too, but there isn't much point going into them here. I raised them on the thread.

I then tried out DarkJoker360's LineageOS 15.1 for Huawei P8 Lite 2017 but I kept getting strange issues on first launch (Google services crashing etc)

I am now back to stock.

I can't work out why I am getting all of these strange issues given that most users don't have a problem. Is there something I am missing here?

I am pretty familiar with the standard process of flashing a ROM:

Clear Data & System

Flash ROM & GApps

Wipe data & Clear cache

Apologies for the long story, and thanks for your time in advance!

Thanks,

Charlie

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JeckyllHavok:
Hey Folks,

After some experimenting with MortScript, it's done.

I create a script that will automatically Change the gif files in S2U2 in a random Order.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

########################

###S2U2 - Gif changer###

###Dr.Jeckyll - 2008 ###

########################

Repeat(9999)

If(ProcExists("iLock2.exe"))

Run("\Program Files\S2U2\iLock2.exe")

Sleep(1000)

SendOK()

EndIf

gif_nr = Rand(29) Change this Nr. to the number of gifs you want to use but +1

Copy("\Storage Card\My Pictures\"&%gif_nr%&".gif", "\Program Files\S2U2\gfx\Wallpaper.gif", TRUE) you can change the folder where the gif files are and you can change the installation folder of S2U2

Run("\Program Files\S2U2\iLock2.exe")

Sleep(3600000) every 1 hour the picture will change the time is in milliseconds

Run("\Program Files\S2U2\iLock2.exe")

Sleep(1500)

SendOK()

EndRepeat

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just copy the text between the lines in an empty document and rename it as S2U2GifChange.mscr

Installation:

1. Install MortScript, I use the latest beta from http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view

2. Delete the iLock2.exe and the S2U2 exe from your Windows/Startup directory

3. Copy the script to the Startup directory.

4. Restart the device

You have to rename the gif files you would like to use to 1.gif, 2.gif, and so on, and you have to write the number of gifs +1 to the green marked point in the script.

When the message Ilock 2 and s2us are closed apperas, do nothing it will self close.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] testdasi:
Thanks for the effort. Just my 2 cents:

This script will run resident all the time and take up valuable memory and processing power.I think instead of doing a repeat loop, a better way is to simply queue the script in the notification queue.

The first if condition after repeat is to quit ilock which is not necessary. There is a restart command line parameter for S2U2.

Does anyone have experience with the Rhinoshield lens adapter, currently they have various adaptors for different phones. I have already a set of lenses from Sirui, the sirui lenses are in design the same as moment lenses but sirui lenses have more sharpness and detail.

Ordering a moment case for the oneplus 6t is not yet available untill march, it will take a long time to get one. Good thing about the moment cases is that they also fit with the Sirui lenses.

But this Rhinoshield lens adaptor seems interesting and almost looks the same as a moment lens slot, I would like to know if these adaptors can fit on different phone cases rather then rhinoshield cases, and most importantly if they do fit with Sirui and moment lens.

Yup I wrote it. Their (moment) lens is compatible with the rhino adapter. But the wide v2 lens creates a hint of vignetting due to the distance it sits from the rear camera lens. It's not significant but enough to notice if you're doing landscape and want every corner detail.
