Ok here's the link to the app. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381588 Its basically a screen saver/key lock application/potential photo caller ID application that is made to emulate the iphone. And it doesn't interfere with the windows 6.1 chome homescreen. It's made for the PPC and not the smartphone, but it works on the smartphone. There are some things you'll want to change in the settings, but the settings proggy is only touch based, so you'll either have to do some regedits or install SOTI pocket controller and use your PC to open the application on your phone and make the adjustments. anyway enough of my babbling, here are some screenshots i took on my S620. The first one is the app running while your phone is locked and running on battery power. The 2nd is the same thing only while its running on External power (aka charging)

here's the other

in order for U to unlock your phone all you have to do is push your 4-way D pad to the right intil the little slider reaches all the way to the right and your homescreen will re-appear. enjoy!

BTW: if you set the settings correctly and disable the "Power of in" and turn on the '"lock when backlight turns off" it will enable this program , esentially locking your keys automatically, but with a lot more flare!

Now that's what I call - A TRUE XDA MEMBER

Thanks for being so helpful, I really appreciate it - I just asked you one question and you gave me the descripton, the link to the program - basically what i need to know and I honestly have to say, not many members are like you.

It's good to know we have people like you that go out of their way to help others. Thanks once again - I'm heading to university right now but I definitely will try the application tonight and posts the results..

P.S: It does look rather stunning. cant wait :D

Another program that could be used to control the phone on your PC and change the s2u2 settings is

MyMobiler

http://www.mtux.com/

I just set up s2u2 1.1 on my dash and it is working fine.

The only thing I want to be able to do is activate S2U2 when I hold down the end call button [which normally locks the phone]. How do I make it happen?

EDIT: Ok Im one step closer. I followed the steps in this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1177366&postcount=9 and with the MYmobiler program running, I edited the settings thru my PC. I changed the end call button to long press and assigned that function to s2u2. It works ALMOST perfect. The only problem is when I unlock s2u2, the default windows lock is still on.
[HTC Excalibur] USF NATE:
I may just be stupid but I cannot figure out how to change the wallpaper into something that I want. I see that pudgdaddy did it but I cannot get it to do the same on my device. Can someone please tell me how this works?

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out. Wow am I dumb sometimes.
[HTC Excalibur] USF NATE:
Does anyone else have the problem that when the phone is idle for a while this program stops? I am afraid that the keys are no longer locked and I am going to push buttons while it is in my pocket or the case. Is this just my phone?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
yea, i had this problem too...... which is why i don't use it anymore.... i'd looove to use it again but that was a deal breaker for me :(
[HTC Excalibur] USF NATE:
I actually figured it out. You just have to set your homescreen so that it never times out. It is under the normal homescreen settings. Seems to have worked so far. Even when I came back to my phone overnight it was still running so hopefully that actually fixed the problem.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
i set autostart and idlestart to 1 and it seems to work

acidlestart doesnt seem to work as it never locks when my phone is plugged in (wall or usb)

when s2u2 locks my phone, my tzones (opera mini) and message buttons still work. im trying to create a string "DisableLNK0" "short_ie.lnk" and "DisableLNK1" "short_MSG.lnk" now to see it that disables these buttons. **UPDATE: DIDN'T WORK**

also would there be a way for me to reprogram the action that happens when i hold down the end call button? (switching from htcphonelock to s2u2 when this actions takes place?)

any help would be appreciated as working out all the little bugs for the smartphone has been kind fun and challenging but i lose productivity at, ahem*, work. lmao
[HTC Excalibur] fuLLah:
Well looks like Im back to square one with this s2u2 program. All this time Ive been trying to remap the keys to make it work properly but I overlooked a key element.

When I received a call today, s2u2 was running and I could not answer the call simply because THERE WAS NO WAY TO CONTROL THE MENU! Since it's designed for touch screen phones, which the Dash isn't, the program doesn't respond to the green or red phone keys.

I had to send the call to voicemail and then call the person back. :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
in my registry for s2u2 i had a string S2ACallKey and i set it to 1 which allowed the green call button to answer incoming calls

and the same for S2AEndKey. it should equal 1.

oh and my callerid key is set to 0. i think the caller id thing doesnt function correctly for smartphones. :rolleyes:

when i did use the caller id i had it set to 1 (you can use 1 or 2 and caused my phone call screen to never come up when i made a call). when my caller id was on the green and red "touch" buttons worked with the physical buttons, but the screen looked funny so i just threw it out.
[HTC Excalibur] fuLLah:
where did you place the string? what folder and subfolder?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
correct me if i'm wrong renegadedj, but i believe its in \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2 i didnt see it either, but i created that dword in that key and assigned it a value of 1. i havent had a chance to try it, but i will let you know once i get a call
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
yep thats right where it was. but mine was already there. i didn'nt have to do any work on that one.

any word on if i can disable the short_msg.lnk or tzones (short_ie.lnk??)

and/or/more and... can i change the action of holding down the end call button in idle to do and "htc" phone lock?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You guys still use this ? I use version 1.22 on my blackjack and it works pretty well. I just installed it on a friend's Dash and it works very well also!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] ChriMo:
LTE Cat and LTE Carrier Aggregation / Bands Support of RN7 connected mainly to built in Snapdragon 660 MSM8956 with X12 LTE Modem Features (also in Snapdragon 63x/66x/820/821): 3CA Downlink and 2CA Uplink, LTE Category 13 (uplink) 12 (downlink), Download 600 Mbps Upload 150 Mbps. So far unclear if device drivers fully support this in RN7.

See also about the same topic in Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Thread.

So far for LTE Bands I found this - always difficult to see if (also) International/Global version:

GadgetsNow: TD-LTE 2300(band 40) / 2500(band 41) FD-LTE 2100(band 1) / 1800(band 3) / 900(band 8) / 850(band 5) / 800(band 20)

techwafer: LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 34(2000), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500). LTE-A (3CA) Cat9 450/50 Mbps.

Checking the Bands for my provider Central Europe (in bold supported): 3CA (B3+B20+B7+B1) and 2CA (B3+B20/B7, B1+B20) + B32. So CA seems very fine!

LTE General: Cat9 450/50 seems not so exciting compared to RN6P with Cat12/​7 (600/100 or 300/150?) because the upload could be higher like Cat10 (450/100), Cat12 (600/100), Cat14 (400/100)?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Cryslin111:
So has anyone tested and confirmed LTE-2CA or LTE-3CA really works with RN7 ?

whether the CA support for RN7 is interband or intraband or both ?

and what CA bands are supported ?

am hoping for (B3 + B7) or (B3 + B7 + B8), different countries/carriers have different CA bands.....so would be good to know what CA bands are working/supported by RN7.

so if anyone got LTE-CA working.....please post here to share the bands info

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Pourush Sharan Bhargav:
Guys, I was on Xiaomi.eu 9.3.7 and was trying to install oneui(just to test it) by wiping everything except the internal storage.

And successfully booted up but was unable to operate the system. I thought it's currently useless so I thought of coming back to Xiaomi.eu 9.3.7 build but unfortunately I found that Internal is wiped out by Oneui.

My whole data was lost and I was sad.

I searched my PC and found an older build of Xiaomi.eu which was 8.12.7. Thought let's first boot my phone with this and then next I would update it. The time I setup the rom I found that it has much better user experience in terms of speed and touch response as compared to the latest 9.3.7 which made me to think, Is Xiaomi messing up everything by just adding the features and not caring about the user experience.....??

What do you guys think about it or just download the 8.12.7, use it and then reply your experience.....
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mortmaru:
You should always backup your data.

I don't think they are messing it up why would they do this makes no sense it's more like they go in a direction they like and then community starts saying no do this or that and they try to implement a bunch of it which can be wrong path also not much resources are put into firmware so you dont always get the best people working on them (maybe they should get some separate official teams and offer two versions one from miui team and another from endorsed miui team)

Hey Folks,

I can't access the recent apps when I switch to gestures navigation "bar" in settings... home and back working fine . The phone is completely stock and has never been rooted.

Any ideas what's the issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Try turning on gesture hints. Maybe you're just not hitting the right spot.

If that doesn't work, try clearing cache in Recovery.

If that doesn't work, try starting in safe mode to rule out any third party apps causing issues.

If that doesn't work, try a factory reset.

If that doesn't work, trade the phone in for a Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Max_Terrible:
And, finally, if that doesn't work, just use the navigation bar.

Honestly, I feel like pressing on the navigation bar is quicker and easier for me than swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

On TWRP compatibility device list at twrp.me/Devices there is no Leeco S3 X626 device listed, but there are some other from Leeco. Can Someone confirm what other model can be chosen and wont brick my device?

Also if I upgrade the stock bootloader with TWRP I'm also oblige to perform ROM update in the same time, or I can still easily work on stock rom until I will do the rom update some other time?

Thx
[LeEco Le S3 Questions & Answers] Kychera22:
Why do you need a higher version?

There are working twrp, for example: 3.1.1. , there is a ported 3.2.1, but the mount to the PC in the original mode does not work.

I will also add, if you have an old version of the ROM, then the recovery should match the firmware version.

Found another thread....
[General Questions and Answers] Mano678:
Hi all,

i'm currently using a Galaxy S3 (I9300 int) with LineageOs 14.1 (Android 7.1.2).

Ok, this phone is a few years old, and originally shipped with Android 4, so i'm quite happy that it still runs relatively well with a newer android version.

However, it is rather unresponsive in certain situations and i am wondering how more recent phones (with stock roms and with lineageos) would perform in these cases, given that the raw Mhz didn't increase that drastically.

-When receiving a call and ringing, the phone often needs like 5 seconds before the screen lights up and i can accept the call

-Switching on the screen via the power button usally takes a fraction of a second, but in some cases only the buttons light up instantly but the screen takes up to 5 seconds. Sometimes the screen goes back to sleep before it even activated.

-the unlock pattern often is too unresponsive to swipe the correct pattern, unless given a few seconds to stabilize

-Enabling the camera via double pressing the power button, sliding from the lock screen, or the launcher, often takes 10 seconds (or crashes)

-while downloading app updates on WLAN, opening any other app often takes 2-3 seconds

Will these things be "instant" on a current 200-400$ phone like a P20, OnePlus 6, Galaxy S8? Both on Stock and with LineageOs (and GApps)?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do you use social media apps? If so, that/those social media apps and Google Play Services are the biggest causes of your lag.

Also, yes, over the years, the GHz of mobile processors haven't changed that much relatively, but that doesn't mean that the newer processors are not faster than the older ones, as CPU generations evolve, so do their architectures, this is where the biggest increase in speed comes from compared to the older architectures, the number of cores is also a slight factor, it is not the GHz "per se" that is increasing the speed compared to older processors.

For example, a 1.2GHz CPU from 2018 with a newer architecture is much faster than a 1.2GHz CPU from 2012 with an older architecture.

Amount of RAM, RAM type and RAM speeds are also a factor, RAM in older devices does not perform as well as RAM in newer devices.

Please suggest a best ROM which is better in battery and performance. Mostly I need battery and performance.thanks in advance.

And last do I need to take any backup of persist and efs, as in nougat many lose they IMEI, so should I take a backup or just go for installation.

No matter what rom you install, if you unlock the bootloader, you should have a copy of efs and persist saved.

Is there any way to make it to where when your phone is off, and you get a text, the screen remains off but the phone still vibrates/rings?

I tried to look for a topic or subject concerning this but I had no luck.
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
Yeah, I know what you are getting at here! Whenever you receive a text message, and your phone is in it's case, if you barely touch it, it was make a call on it's own. It's really annoying. I wish the talk button wasn't raised higher than the other buttons. Bad design.
[Wing, P4350 General] Audiopro:
You can use BatteryStatus to lock your screen on wakeup, it will stay locked as you receive messages. Or you can try Slide 2 Unlock. It keeps your phone locked until you use the iPhone style slider. I prefer BatteryStatus simply because I hate everything iMac. But Slide2Unlock gets good reviews.
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
i know about the s2u2 and ya its nifty but pressing the screen keeps the backlight on and finding a way to keep the backlight off saves a good deal of battery if u recieve many texts and it stop any accidental calls.

heh, ya i use the batterystatus lock, much more efficient and faster than the s2u2.

but if there a registry u culd edit to disable the screen coming on when u get a notify?

Hi everyone!

The standard original Xiaomi TPU case, which was delivered with the phone satisfied my needs.

Now I wanted to buy another one of these, just to have a new shiny one my old looks to used up.

I remembered I bought a spare one for my Mi 6. Now I want to order a spare one for my Mi 8. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere to buy.

Does someone know where I can order one of these?

I am searching for the original tpu case, too.

I already tried this: https://www.banggood.com/Bakeey-Pudding-Soft-TPU-Protective-Case-For-Xiaomi-Mi8-Mi-8-p-1399292.html

It feels thicker all over and it seems to be a bit too bulky on the edges to use with a NILLKIN CP+MAX 3D Tempered Glass. It lifted one edge of my screen protector.

Second problem is that it's not exactly the same height as the screen protector. It doesn't feel good using gestures.

Second One I tried: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TCI...ansparent-Acrylic-Hard-Phone/32884346578.html

Nice case, but still a lot thicker than the TPU case that came with my Mi 8. Fits nice around the Nillkin CP+MAX, but is still a bit higher. After 3 days of use my thumb could't take it anymore.

All original Xiaomi cases I found on Aliexpress weren't the tpu case delivered with the Mi 8. These are all so called "Liquid Silicone" cases that look like some kind of hard cover, or at least harder than TPU, with some kind of padding glued to the inside.

Any other suggestions for a case as thin as possible, just like the original tpu case?

Edit: I will try this one next: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/KIS...phone-F1-Mi-8-6-5-4-A1-A2-5X/32957378619.html

According to some reviews it does not cover the screen.
