[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
That is not the case. I have S10e U1 device and flashed with T-Mobile U firmware couple of months ago and received at least 2 updates. I personally never use Home CSC, instead I use regular CSC file. I like to wipe my whole phone since I flash a different firmware and want to clean everything. Samsung phones come with backup which is built in and it saves me the hassle of setting up the phone again from scratch

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

You will get OTA updates. I have flashed 2 Galaxy S10 models which were U1 initially and after flashing U T-Mobile firmware, there were no issues of getting OTA updates. The reason for not getting OTAs after flashing is when user is not doing factory reset or not using CSC firmware file when flashing
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] nate0:
OK got it. I was hoping to avoid a hard reset even though I usually do that. This time I have almost 50gb of music I'll need to recopy back over...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
For music, it is good to also have sd card :), but 2 years ago I started using Google Play Music and pretty happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] nate0:
Very true, and I do have a 256gb card. Transfer rate over USB though is much much faster to the phone storage than to SD. Even if the SD card is ejected and in an adapter. But I'm not that too worried about the inconvenience. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] nate0:
I am not certain if Samsung phones usually included this feature, but there is an option to backup to external storage. Easily I can back up and restore all the same info and files as a cloud backup would but to and from an SD card. So this makes it even easier....
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] egarciadesigns:
Hi. After flashing with the t-mobile firmware i still have the att bootscreen on my unlocked s10. Would the firmware change this bootscreen to a t-mobile one?

Edit: nevermind i figured out how to do the carrier switch in the phone settings.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] itje:
Hi all

I am new user here in polaris section, but I just got myself one 4 days ago.

I noticed there is alot of norwegians, here so I guess a wm6.1 rom in norwegian could be nice :-)

it will ofcourse be a beta, since its my first release in polaris.

Guess you can call it a hybrid when it comes to language, but most apps will be norwegian, but on top of english os.

I hope I can release the rom tonight (norwegian time)

Im at work now, so i cant provide screens yet, but that will come with the rom, maybe before.

satser på at dette kan bli bra..
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] tormoddf:
Looking forward to it! I might finally take the plunge and flash a cooked rom.. :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ovindahl:
Nice, I guess this would be quite interessting for many norwegians although there isnt really THAT much different from having an english ROM.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] tormoddf:
Do you get the norwegian soft keyboard, and norwegian t9 wordlists with other roms?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] itje:
working on it :)

But its not far off
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Per Knutsen:
I`ll try it, as soon you realese it.

Høres spennende ut.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] brumle80:
sounds brilliant:)

just have to figure out what to do with my phone atm...

any of you know if the device code for tomtom changes after change of rom?

I bought maps of scandinavia, would suck to loose them...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] silentnoise:
This is great news! I will try it when you release it, looking forward to it!

Kjempebra jobbet, gleder meg!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] itje:
nope, if you store your maps and all on sd-card, then you will not have to activate again, tomtom will recognise the maps and key.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] rhov23:
Great!

Kjempegreier!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pananza:
Good, looking foreward to this. Myself I gave up trying to cook a Norwegian ROM using the Polaris Kitchen. If it will be a mix of languages as you state, I wonder if it would not be better to go for a clean english OS, and just add norwegian keyboard and XT9.

I for one, hate mixed language OS's. A mix of Program Files and Programfiler etc. Just makes a mess.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] itje:
maybe so, but im currently testing a beta, and so far its not so bad

but the polaris kitchens is diffrent from the ones I have used, so im adjusting my old kitchen to fit for polaris.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] rhov23:
Hvis du trenger noe hjelp med grafikk kan jeg godt henge meg på. Er dreven i Photoshop etc.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nerdo:
itje :)

At last!! Been waiting ages for someone like you :o

Looking forward to your ROM

Is it possible to get:

1. only Norwegian keyboard/keypad with XT9?

Keep it up man:cool:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dudeldei:
Super(t)!

This is good news for all us Norwegians here @ xda :)

I will absolutely give it a try, when a cooked "nor-rom" comes out.

Lykke til! ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] brumle80:
getting any closer? ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] itje:
Allright, good news here :)

There is released a norwegian wm6.1 for kaiser, so im downloading it from e.club now.

I will start working on porting the rom tonight or tomorrow, and im sure within a few days I will have the first beta up and running.

cheers
[General Questions and Answers] ByMinotti:
I purchased a Depict digital art frame last year. I received an email last week that the company is going out of business and closing their doors. The Depict Frame runs on a custom version of Android. Currently the frame can only be controlled by their app. I would love to be able to install other apps on this frame because the features provided in the Depict app are very limited. If anyone could help with this I would appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] dan90266:
I'm going to open mine up

Mine has stopped working completely now. I think their cloud infrastructure back end is turned off or no longer operating. I've tried contacting various people that used to be at the company with absolutely no success. Very disappointing that they didn't even think to publish some specs or open-source the software (if allowable by license).

Anyhow - I'm going to rip mine open this weekend and try to hack into it somehow and put a different distro on it.

Have you made any progress?

Anyone else tried opening one up?
[General Questions and Answers] oneguyindc:
Depict Frame

I have opened it. Now that they are out of business and we are left with the hardware I wish they would have made their software open source. I have been trying to see if I can drive the LCD with another computer (Raspberry Pi) or something more powerful. Looks like it is a proprietary interface. The LCD is a chinese LCD so if we can somehow figure out how to drive that LCD that would be quite useful.

[General Questions and Answers] depict_owner:
Depict guts

I opened mine. The control board drives the TCON using 8-lane v-by-one. I found a manufacturer on Alibaba that makes a 4K LCD driver board which also supports 8-lane v-by-one and hacked into in place, bypassing Depict's main control board. I was able to get it to display text and images from a Raspberry Pi, but the text looked mangled at high resolutions. I don't know yet whether the problem is in how I have HDMI configured on the Pi, or whether the LCD driver board is fundamentally incompatible with this BOE panel. Still exploring.
[General Questions and Answers] Solivita:
My frame quit displaying any uploaded art since yesterday. Anybody figure out how to get around this horrible situation.

Depict Frame Working

My frame quit working several days ago. I opened my app and went the set up frame procedure. It took two tries resetting the access code and several times entering my wifi information before the frame accepted everything. I had to reset my wifi router to get the app to accept my wifi information. The frame is now working and I have been able to upload my saved pictures from my iphone. Hope this works for others !
[General Questions and Answers] Beophile:
My Dipict Frame is working again after a reset...

Like other's in this thread, my Depict frame stopped working a few weeks back (a few weeks after they went out of business). Specifically, my frame stop going into sleep mode based on its schedule and was stuck on the last picture it displayed. Based on Solivita's June 5, 2019 post, I went again and reset my frame. To to this, I took a paper clip and inserted it into a hole that is just above the power button on the side of the frame. I held the paper clip down until the frame reset (about 10-15 seconds). The first time I tried to set it up using the app, it failed to connect. But I power cycled it (by unplugging it) and tried again it and it worked. It is now working better than ever!!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] oneguyindc:
Depict Frame

This is exactly what I want to do. Have you made any progress on this with the Raspberry Pi or any other computer.
[General Questions and Answers] KCEsteban:
iOS Update broke the App

As we all know, Depict has gone bankrupt and shut down the company. As Frame owners, we are now on our own. Here is my current situation: My Frame had been working fine and I was having no trouble showing art downloaded from the Art Institute of Chicago (great stuff) Yes, I was having some issues with the Frame's clock feature, and was forced to reset it a few times. But it was working fine. I use an Apple iPad Mini 2 as my controller. Recently, Apple sent out a new update to the iOS and I updated the iPad. BIG MISTAKE! Something in the Apple software has broken the Depict App. I can reset the Frame and go all the way through the setup until the Frame says "Ready for Art". But the same iPad Depict App that I just used to set it up from the Factory Reset now cannot see the Frame on the network. Yes, I have checked and double checked that they are on the same network. The Apple iOS update broke the Depict App so that now I have a useless Frame in perfect condition. I'm hoping that, at some point, whoever has access to the software for the App will discover this and fix it. That seems to be my only hope.
[General Questions and Answers] randominseattle:
Any luck?

Months ago I reverse engineered the protocol for pushing images to the frame over the local network. (To enable slideshows of my own photos, and as a hedge against them going out of business.) Due to a series of unfortunate events, this morning my frame updated itself and it looks like they removed that functionality somewhere along the way (probably when they added slideshows). The cloud services appear to still be functional for slideshows of my uploaded pics, but who knows for how long.

So, did anybody have luck with the Pi? What was that display controller? At this point I’m likely to crack open my frame to see what I can salvage; any learnings from people who’ve been there would be appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] numb3rs:
They pushed a final firmware when they announced their closure. I don't know if anyone noticed, but it now runs the fan on high, continually. This happened to both of my frames. The fans continue to run even when in sleep mode, which is pretty annoying. As of right now, I'm still using the app to display artwork and cloud photos, however, I'm considering opening one of them up and disabling the fan. Ultimately, I'd love to get a pi into this thing and run it from there. I'm down to help put a tutorial together if anyone figures it out in a logical way.
[General Questions and Answers] austinsprint:
NOISE

YES! this crushed me. The app works I'm fine with the final functionality, but the fan noise from the final firmware update made the same noise issue for me. I was thinking of blocking some/most of the air holes...

ALSO....I just discovered another issue I don't know how to get around. I recently upgraded iPhones and my new phone tried to download all my apps...well, the Depict app is apparently not on the App Store anymore! so my iPhone 11 can not download it! ugh... thoughts?

I had the same issue - I used the iMazing App to extract the Depict App from the backup and then restored it on my new iPhone. Was a pain but finally I am back up again.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Can someone post a link to the video controller that can control the display directly?
[General Questions and Answers] edyo:
I have created an .ipa file (using iMazing) for version 3.0.0 (the final update) of the Depict app. I was able to then use that .ipa file to install the Depict app on another iPhone (using iMazing).

Would it be possible to share this file via dropbox/google drive or email?

[General Questions and Answers] edyo:
Absolutely. I'm a newbie on this forum and don't see any way to PM you. Thoughts? Maybe you could create a burner/disposable email address that you could reveal to me in this thread and I can send the (105MB) .ipa file there. Once you get it, you can delete the email address as it may be a SPAM-magnet after appearing in this thread.

Update: I pulled the fan. Sounded great... got pretty hot too after 20min. Tried looking up alternative fan options but quickly realized what I really want to do is jam a raspberry pi in this sucker and start from scratch. Back to what someone mentioned earlier in the thread....
