[Amazfit] laffsj:
I am having a problem after updating 3.2.1.0, the HR is running on the clock and the sleep monitor also, I can see the data and graphics, but when synchronizing with the mobile, in the application AmazFit Watch, does not show the data of the continuous HR and does not also show sleep data. Searching the forum here I installed the stock rom again, I already did the factory reset, but that did not work either. Anyone have any idea what might be happening?
[Amazfit] lfom:
Restart both and do a forced sync (pull down from the top at the Amazfit main screen), or use the Upload / Sync feature directly from watch (it requires WiFi). If it doesn't work then probably you want to factory reset the watch and pair again. Be aware that it may take up to 24h for data to start syncing properly again after factory reaet.
[Amazfit] laffsj:
Thank you very much for the information, I did not know you need the 24 hours to start working properly. Now the morning began to work.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mythreial:
Hey guys, I'm new here, so I'm sorry if this has already been covered.

I have an unrooted international version of the One plus 6, with the pixel camera app side loaded.

I was just tinkering in the camera settings and I noticed that the pixel camera will, by default, only capture images in both 4;3 & 16;9 resolutions, utilizing anywhere from 2.8mp - 12mp on the rear camera.

With that in mind, one could make the assumption that the software isn't utilizing the potential of the hardware. (I'm also curious to know how the second lens is cooperating with it).

Basically, I'm just wondering if there is a way to fully utilize both the 20mp and 16mp sensors within the pixel camera..

Any feedback would be awesome! Also, if I'm being dumb by asking this because I'm not educated in this subject, then please, enlighten me so that I may learn ?

Thank you guys!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
I don't think it's possible, for a simple reason : The Pixel 3 only has one sensor, and only 12 MP. So, GCam only uses one sensor, and handles 12 MP :p

But to be honest, it still produces pictures that are vastly superior to the OOS cam, so, for me at least, not a big deal !
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Neil_Armstrong_:
no
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] cdaboy:
Use xtrme's gcam mod! Though the settings say that the limit is 12 MP, my photos thus far have always been saving in 16.3 MP (100% JPEG quality vs 15.9 MP on 95% default) unless you do some zooming (it will be scaled back to 12 MP but still very very usable). AFAIK that variant of GCam was specifically tinkered to work with OP6.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog370/
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
The Xtrme's version is indeed pretty good ! Used it for some time.

I feel like the Advanced 1.4 from Arnova is better though, it even has Focus Tracking, which is the best thing ever :D

Just checked it, the photos save at 16.3 MP with 100% JPEG quality on 1.4 Advanced too. Note that i'm using the OP6 config that is available for it.

Still don't know if it uses both cameras though. On GCam and OOS Cam, the viewfinder only uses the bottom camera, that seems normal.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Koeties:
Do you perhaps have a link for Advanced 1.4 from Arnova?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
First one, in red :D

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/

You can also get the config file, put it in a folder names "GCAM/Configs" on your storage, and double tap near the shutter in the app to enable it ! (The black part between the shutter and the link to the photos app for example)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mythreial:
These are all great suggestions guys, thank you!

Does the advanced 1.4 and the Xtreme mod allow for shooting in raw formats?

I'm trying to set my phone up to be the best point and shoot it can be, for the sole purpose of stock photography. I know both the pixel camera and the oos camera shoot in raw (oos pro mode is a beast and has outperformed the pixel manual settings consistently but is too cumbersome and doesn't shoot in true 16:9)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] -crazy-horse-:
I just recently bought my galaxy s9+ used on eBay for $800. The previous owner said he had it and used it for less than 2 weeks and bought it out right from a bell store. For the past 2 weeks since I've owned it been a dust magnet and having to clean it every time I take it out my pocket, I never had this issue with my previous phone galaxy s7 edge. And Samsung says its supposed to be water and dust resistance. When I first got it and tried to charge it without turning it on there was a static shock when the cable touched the side of it and another when connecting into the charging port which im thinking that might to be the problem, maybe If I just let drain completely it'll lose its static electricity which dust tends to cling too idk. anyone else having this problem. I don't use any case just full coverage dbrand skin.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:
The Honor View20 has a massive 48MP sensor. The Honor 10 has a very impressive 24MP camera. These shots were both taken at the highest resolution possible on both phones.

The photos on the left are taken with the Honor 10 and the photos on the right are the Honor View20. The first shots are uncropped while the second set is the same shot being zoomed in. See if you can spot a difference between the 48MP and 25MP cameras.

S9+ from Verizon to Sprint

Hey guys, if I missed this already apologies in advance. You can see from my details I been around a long time, but haven't dove in for a bit. I have an S9+ from Verizon I wanted to port to Sprint. Now, I know the S8 worked like a champ, and the S9 don't work at all. Can I flash Sprint firmware and get it running? Through ODIN? I've been out of the game for a while, and I see hints, but I thought I would ask the experts and be sure.

Thanks in advance.

Samsung S7 - Android 7.0 - rooted - phone stable

I have an app for real-time viewing for my action cam. The link, unfortunately, is via WiFi. And, of course, there's no Internet access in the camera. The challenge is to use the app and use mobile data at the same time. I tried the enhanced download option (load balancer, I assume) - nothing. I tried the "Mobile always on" option in the Developers panel - nothing. All of the apps I've found appear to be the Samsung load balancer option in an app form.

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.trololol:
MAGISK 15+ ANDROID 9/8(PIE/OREO) NOKIA 8 ONLY

Warning: These configs work fine for me , i had historically pushed alot of devices to its limits by disabling their thermal restrictions most of the devices have built in kernel logic to trigger a shutdown when pushed too hard but if your device explodes or anything bad happens you will be responsible for it so be cautious before using this.

(This module changes only rom based throttling not the kernel one)

1. What this mod does?

It does not removes thermal throttling instead retard it

No throttling till Battery reaches 50°C

No cpu throttling till it reaches 53°C

No cpu Hotplug till it reaches 64°C

No gpu Throttling till it reaches 80°C

2. Why i made this?

Cuz i love playing with my fone while its charging and stock thermals are too aggressive for my taste.

3. How to use it

Just install the module from Magisk and reboot vice-versa for disabling/removal.

4. How to customize it?

you can also customize it by unzipping the attached zip and editing the folllowing file, re-zip and repeat step 3

\system\vendor\etc\thermal-engine-cobalt.conf

to keep it simple

thresholds values are at which throttling starts i.e action

thresholds_clr at which it stops (reverts the taken action)

if you have any queries or found some mistake just comment i will update the post...

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.trololol:
Not possible on this fone without hassle afaik, the way i do it past android 6 is by using screen mirroring + aux cable(for audio) on pc/laptop.

Things i currently use

Scrcpy for screen mirroring

3.5mm jack Aux cable to Line in(pc) for stereo audio

open broadcast software for recording/streaming

to listen to the audio i simply enable playback of line in input and use headphones coming from pc

Is there any performance increase that's proven on paper? My question is derivative of a fact that I've never really encountered performance/FPS losses in both gaming and apps under heavy load. PUBG Mobile (even tho I only played it's early stages) did work just fine with stable 30 frames.

yes if your ambient temperatures are high enough to trigger throttling difference is quite a lot, you can test it yourself using this app

Hello everybody, I have an Avin Avant 2 Univeral head unit running 4.4.2 and now the unit power cycles itself every minute. I have not done any type of software upgrades so I think it may have been corrupted somehow. Does anybody have a backup of the stock 4.4.2 software that I can reload? The only way I can do it is with a USB thumb drive. Much thanks in advance!

Avin Avant 2 constant rebooting

Just had the same issue start this week with Avin Avant2 in VW GTI.

Comes on for a few minutes and then reboots in a constant cycle.

Tried a factory restore - didn't really work.

Emailed AVIN support just today and got this response - the GPS time/location issue per the link could be the problem given the recent issue we've both seen.

Support (AVINUSA.com)

Apr 9, 9:30 PM PDT

The Avant2 system was developed over 7 years ago and has been discontinued for many years now. There are no new software updates for it.

........ Support @ ///AVIN response....

Try disconnecting the GPS antenna from the radio. The GPS IC chip inside the radio might be causing the issue.

" techcrunch.com/2019/04/06/gps-rollover-is-today-heres-why-devices-might-get-wacky"

OR

You can try to perform a factory restore on the unit.

1. Press the power button 8 times in a row and on the 9th press and hold the power button down for 3 seconds. This process can take up to 5 minutes to complete and will clear out the system and all user settings and apps will be lost.
[Android Head-Units] Blown Z:
Thanks! Have you tried disconnecting your GPS antenna to see if that fixes it?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pix106:
Tab2 has 3.10.54 kernel, I don't know if you can use these libs with a 3.4 kernel.

When missing a symbol, you can grep it in your device stock rom to find what lib provides it.

From a running device using adv, or using a stock room dumping your computer.

grep -r _Zazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn /path/to/libs
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Good call on the grep stuff. And I wonder if I could kang libs off another MT8127 device running KitKat which is a little tiny bit of a stretch to hunt for.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pix106:
My "mistake", in a way :) : Tab2 also had KitKat with a 3.4 kernel, but I used kernel 3.10 and vendor from Lollipop stock rom to build cm-12.1.

You can try to download and extract lenovo's kk rom, or I can search my archives later and try to upload a KitKat stock rom dump somewhere, but I'm not home and have slow internet for now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
3.4.67 I presume? I do have kernel sources for the Epic but it's missing a few things from what I've been told. The ROM dump does however have what appears to be a build config used by Quanta/LeapFrog to customise the board support package they used, or so I assume.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Apologies for the bump, and I hope they won't mind, but the likes of [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] are a lot more experienced with MTK than I could muster, so I was wondering if they could at least offer a bit of advice with this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rortiz2:
I would not know how to help you but maybe ggow who has compiled lineage 12.1 for amazon fire mt8127 can help you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Does that one run on Kitkat originally? If anything, both the Epic and the MT8127 Amazon Fire tablets are made by the same ODM iirc. I might also try updating the blobs and kernel to version 1.8.45 to see if it helps any, but hwcomposer is apparently still the same.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rortiz2:
Amazon Fire tablets came with lollipop 5.1.

Have you tried to port the Rom instead of compiling? It is easier :/ . If you send me the stock bootimg and the stock system.img I can port you some ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
You sure you're able to port a ROM built for newer (prebuilt) kernel on a 3.4.67 device? The only sticking point so far with the LeapFrog CM12 port is hwcomposer/surfaceflinger refusing to cooperate. As of late I recompiled the ROM with no blobs kanged off other devices with the following flags added to BoardConfig:

TARGET_RUNNING_WITHOUT_SYNC_FRAMEWORK := true
BOARD_EGL_WORKAROUND_BUG_10194508 := true

...and ran logcat on it. Still the same sw_sync issues though it apparently has something to do with SELinux denying those requests as what the attached log seems to imply. It might be a red herring though, and I've read that [MENTION=3064479]pix106[/MENTION] also ran into similar issues before with him trying a myriad of build flags in an attempt to fix this. Any ideas on what to use to get rid of this once and for all and finally get the damn GUI to boot? I'm thinking about using "BOARD_NEEDS_OLD_HWC_API := true" given how the blobs were for KitKat but what do you guys think? If only there were developers here who just happen to own an Epic lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
...and I got a tiny bit further with the SELinux whitelist applied, though it's still the same "stuck on LeapFrog logo" moment with no sign of the boot animation springing to life. The backtrace mentions something along the lines of "buffer" in the functions called. Could it be that "BOARD_EGL_NEEDS_LEGACY_FB := true" is at fault here?

Also, there's an error in the log saying:

File size of 0 bytes not large enough to contain ELF header of 52 bytes: '/data/dalvik-cache/arm/system@framework@boot.oat'
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pix106:
I'd first check permission issues (/dev/stpwmt : iirc I had a few permission errors at early boot, but quick after it should be working fine), and nvram.
