Hi all, I just recently got my phone. And I've been trying to get Facebook app to launch suggested games using Google play instead of App store to no avail.

Can someone please help to guide me through what or how can I enable it? I have QooApp installed as well but somehow the 'Open With' option doesn't pop up.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] plskillme:
I have the same gripe with the k20 pro, I bought nova launcher. In the Play store I can download the premium nova launcher. Key... Yeah it's the key first that comes up in the search and one cannot just simply skip installing the key first before having to go through the next step which is to open the key app only to be redirected to that chinese app store xD No "open with" prompt, the touch is buggy too - a tap can be sensed by the phone as a swipe and vice versa which is kinda annoying.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Zarkondo:
Hello guys,

I have tried many different Gcam APKs and all have the same issue, they take 2 pics one of them the portrait and one is normal and they have separate folder for every portrait I take.

Is there anyone to make the Portrait shots organized in the same folder as the camera without that separation of every picture?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] NightRaven49:
use arnova's ports, they have an option in settings to save portrait shots together in /dcim/camera, the same folder as normal photos.

Great update
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] storytellerz:
If I want to retain TWRP & Magisk after the update, is my procedure correct?

1. Reboot to TWRP

2. Flash 9.5.9

3. Flash TWRP

4. Reboot TWRP

5. Flash Magisk

6. Reboot system

:confused::confused:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
or

1. Download update and flash via Local Storage in Settings > System > System Update > click on Gear Icon (that way you can still use your phone while its installing and you won't miss calls or texts)

2. Once Done and Installed DO NOT REBOOT

3. Open Magisk and Click Install > Install > Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)

3.5 Reboot...

4. (Optional if u want to install TWRP at the moment) Open Magisk and Install TWRP Installer (Do Not Reboot)

5. Go Back to Magisk click Install > Install > Direct Install

5.5 Reboot...

Done!

I'm loving this update. It does seem snappier, and the reddish screen tint I was experiencing has been fixed. Also, I noticed that when using gesture navigation, Gboard has been moved up so that the symbols and enter key aren't cut off by the rounded lower corners. This is my first OnePlus device and I'm impressed at their attention to detail.

I find that even with animation scale set to .5 in developer settings I was really happy with the phone.

But playing around after the update I found a setting in accessibility that allowes for announcing to be turned off completely and I'll tell you what besides a blink of screen change its for sure the quickest phone I've ever used. Haven't used Samsung since gs7 so that's not much to say. Very happy with updates and phone. 1st OP device and wow.

My vibration for texts isn't as strong as it used to be on this update. Has anyone else notice this?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
i dont get why people say not to reboot

just update via the local updater

reboot - let the update finish installing

then reboot-bootloader and boot twrp, flash twrp, magisk and reboot.

unless you dont have access to a computer.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] harpin14789:
They said no reboot so that you can preserve twrp if you are away from a computer. Its a lot slow to have to boot twrp using adb each time.

Easier method is to not reboot, and flash Twrp retention script.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paysen:
It was alternating between "way too bright" and "way too dark" in my bedroom when the light's are turned off. Sometimes you just scroll a website and the auto brightness dims the display, because the display seems to block the sensor.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] remunramu:
I bought XZ2 in hoping to be able playing 10bit AVC x264 anime videos in HW so that I can get the goodness of X-reality video enhancement. Well... it cant, it can run smoothly with SW but sadly no X-reality.

But the weird thing is my old Xperia X performance able to run every 8bit AVC x264 anime I throw in HW smoothly but why my XZ2 cannot play them in HW too?

Well... the XZ2 able to run with the Video app and the X-reality is working but no audio. Tried with VLC/MX Player, the video playback look like fastened but audio was normal, so it out of sync, broken.

The XZ2 has more superior processor and higher codec support than the X perform, it should have been able to run that with no problem. Any experience encoders can explain this to me? or is this just Pie bug or something? Im on Pie with the latest firmware update.

This is the file I tried to run in HW, it worked well in X Perform but buggy in XZ2 :crying:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
Yes. x265(HEVC) is the successor of x264(AVC), which introduced official 4k support.

VP9 acts as a opponent of x265 if you see it somewhere and may ask what it may be.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] remunramu:
Yes I know that x265 is meant to replace x264, the pre-reloaded video Jumanji trailer is also 10bit x265.

Thats weird right?! because this device can play the newer codec 10bit x265 but cannot play the older codec 10bit x264.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jilano34:
Hi,

I noticed a weird static noise in my headphones when listening to music or any app using the default Android output. This is strong enough to be annoying at the lowest volume steps, and I can also notice it at higher volume when the track is quiet.

I think this noise is here from the start : H930DS HK bought in November, ROMs open EU 21o to 22j and even stock HK ROM if I remember correctly (I followed the WTF thread as soon as I received it but I tried it on original HK ROM). It is completely independent from headphones, but I don't have high impedance ones to test if it would disappear in this situation.

However, I am a proud user of Poweramp... and the experimental high res output (set up on 24 bits / 48kHz) is able to completely annihilate the static noise for all my tracks (encoded 16 or 24 bits / 44100Hz to 96kHz, flac or 320 MP3). Quad DAC section effects are working but unfortunately DTS:X is bypassed. In fact, if I disable Direct Volume Control the noise is back : in this situation it seems I can't use any audio effect.

I am completely unable to recreate this effect with Ainur Narsil or any audio mod (like Ainur, then I stopped experimenting with it as I read somewhere it would disable the Quad DAC).

How is this possible ? I already spent hours studying system .xml files, XDA threads and tried installing/uninstalling audio mods, but I didn't find any solution. My android audio knowledge is limited, so I came here to figured this out : does anyone have a suggestion ?

Thanks for reading this looooooong post :victory: !
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mrxyzl:
If you have any audio mod, uninstall all of them.

use Hifi status app to check whther your headphone is recognized as high impendance due to bae connection.

Overall, the static noise only happens on HIM mode ( which turn avc to 0 hence generate the noise), so if you have any mod that force HIm mod, it will make that noise. if everything is still happens with my suggestion (no HIM mode mod, and headphone recognize as normal headphone) you can try changing the avc from 14 to higher (18 or 20)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jilano34:
So, I deleted all my audio related mods and even reinstalled my custom kernel with HIM disabled. HiFi app does not show high impedance whatsoever, but the noise is still here...

I'm trying to figure out by myself how to modify the AVC, but I have a few questions : can I achieve that through system file modification (I will make my personal Magisk mod then) ? If it's the case, will I need aml when using audio mod ?

Thank you a lot for your answer.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mrxyzl:
are you on stock? try modified the mixer_path_tavil.xml in vendor/etc. try searching for ess dac start then modified the next following avc value (one is 14 one is 0) to 16 or 18 to see how it goes
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jilano34:
Well, I am on stock so I found the ESS DAC section in mixer_path_tavil and started to experiment with the values. I still don't understand which section serve which purpose, but with the avc value to 21 (3 times higher than the standard value from Anxious V30 mod) for the dac sections and 9 for the aux sections, the static noise is now gone.

I spend a long time trying to understand how mixer_path_tavil works... Is there a complete manual somewhere I can study ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mrxyzl:
For your information, hifi-dac = normal headphone, hifi-dac-advanced = high impedance headphone, hifi-dac-aux = aux (car or speaker)

The value is as following

ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="8" /> --> stock is 14, the higher, the smaller volume output, FYI, AVC stand for analogue volume control (basically should make less noise comparing to digital gain)

<ctl name="Es9018 Master Volume" value="0" /> --> no idea, should have no effect on audio quality, seem the lower the louder volume is

<ctl name="Es9018 HEADSET TYPE" value="1" /> --> type of headset, 1 = normal, 2 = high impedance, 3 = aux, this should determine the voltage output ( supposed so, but voltage output also hardcoded in kernel , so no idea how this turn out)

Edit: My headphone (64 Ohm custom headphone) was fine with HIM set at 8 (not 0), as i talked with John (developer of Ainur and narsil) , he said that he have no prob on his headphone, so it all fall down to headphone quality or so

Edit2: yes anxious mod modified to pseudo forced HIm mode and also mess up with DTS value (IMO, worse than stock)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
I just want to point out that modding the values DOES NOT force HIM or AUX mode. Anxious and another op pointed this out as well.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

That only changes volume lvl. It does not set DAC mode.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mrxyzl:
And yes, no one talking about changing the mode , he just had a problem with noise, i tell him to change the value and problem gone
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jilano34:
I don't care about forced HIM (or falsified/pseudo/...), as I understand it's just a gain (you're not wasting your arguments on other threads [MENTION=5631635]BROKEN1981[/MENTION] !). The modded DTS parameters I use are from JohnFawkes (he published them a while ago) and I like this side-by-side effect. In fact I state using Anxious mod but I edit it to match my needs... And now, I have installed narsil and jamesdsp : thanks to both of you my setup is perfect and noiseless.

I just don't understand how Poweramp with its HiFi Audio can clean all static noise without lowering my volume or anything... This is really weird.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
Glad you have it sorted out, sucks when you have static when you're trying to listen to music.

This is amazing! That's exactly what I want! I currently use the icon pack Nucleo UI to get non adaptive icons, but it doesn't work system-wide. It worked in the recents menu with Lawnchair but I decided to stick with the OnePlus Launcher for the fullscreen navigation gestures (they're such a joy to use!)

Does this mean that using substratum, we could install icon packs system wide? If so, I'm guessing you'd need to make an icon-pack to overlay converter, where it generates overlays overlays out of icon packs. That might make your project idea easier. I'll definitely follow up on your idea, because getting shaped icons system-wide again is something I was hoping to get back since Oreo came out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cm4nXD:
I definitely thought about that, but I have no idea how to yet. I'm kinda learning as I go, because this issue really annoys me. So for now it's just going to be me making the theme icons. Maybe when I have more experience, I'll attempt extracting icons from an icon pack.

Hi,

I was installing an SD card in my neighbors phone (Samsung A520W Canadian version) and when transferring the pictures from the phone to SD card, I accidentally deleted the DCIM/Camera folder off the internal memory, losing about 2200 pictures. There were also two separate DCIM folders on the SD card and it appears I deleted the wrong one.

I ran DiskDigger, but unless the phone is rooted, it does not recognize the internal memory. I thought they may have been on the SD card, but they were not. DiskDigger did find a bunch of photos, but no the ones I was looking for.

I'd really like to get these back.

Regarding rooting, I have read conflicting tutorials. Some say rooting formats the phone, others don't mention it. If the phone is formatted, does that not eliminate my chances of getting anything back?

If the DCIM/Camera folder was deleted, is it even possible to retrieve the photos?

I checked the cloud, auto backup was not enabled.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has a viable solution. I don't have time to be trying different methods that may not work. I've visited so many sites, it's making my head spin. Most turn into an ad for some software product. I just want to get the pictures back.

I did make a complete backup of the phone using Android Studio. In addition I have tried EaseUs and others without success.

I appreciate your help.

ATT is actually refering to the new network as 3.5G it will be available in 20 major metropolitan areas by the end of the year. Regular 3g will be available in 120 new locations in the same time frame.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Dangerously:
HSUPA does work and I have used it as it is avalible on the Rogers network in Toronto and Calgary. The TyTN II, Kaiser, Tilt... will always show "E" as in edge, but will flip to "H" only if you are connecting and HSUPA/HSDPA is avalible. Some ROMs have an option to turn on or off the HSUPA feature but the stock Tilt ROM was setup to use that network right away.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mviana:
This is going to be a silly question, but I will ask anyway. I'm on AT&T. Where I live my game room gets 3G now suddenly. No other rooms gets it but this one. I'm very excited about it. When they do this roll out, does that mean that places that are on the border with 3G like my house, will get engulfed in it or does it just mean that the areas that currently have will be faster. I hope that my question makes sense.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] delan007:
So I barely used my phone yesterday, just hotspot for my dad's iphone to upload some pics from his phone to my gdrive while we were out, check notifications from my lockscreen, and whatsapp my wife a couple times. That was done no problem. Hours later without using my phone it was lagging badly, and wouldn't start up certain apps like LastPass, Free Adblocker Browser, and I installed Malwarebytes and did a scan and found nothing, but it would crash instantly upon opening after that as with the other 2 apps. I didn't try many apps, some I would tap on and no response, but that was 1 or 2 apps. The odd thing is my Play Store was uninstalled somehow, which would make me think it was a virus which is why I tried Malwarebytes.

Since that didn't work I did some searching and saw some advice online to boot into recover and wipe the cache partition. I did this and it booted up fine, and I went to sleep. I wake up today, and the phone appears dead. No signs of life. Although, I did put it on the wireless charger and the light changed as if it was charging. I plugged it into my computer and saw in Device Manager under Ports it loaded "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" successfully. I've read if that shows (is this EDL mode?) it can be recovered. It's not showing now after I tried a hard reset, but the wireless charging light still changes. CORRECTION: QDLoader just reappeared as I type this message!

Is this a hard brick? Is my phone finished? Please help with anything you can think of! Like I said there's no signs of life on the actual phone. I tried the hard reset too.

My Note8 is USA Unlocked SM-N950U1 being used in Canada, I don't know the bootloader version, but I THINK it's 5, I haven't installed any malicious/modded apps, I'm not rooted.

Nothing shows on the screen whatsoever, but it does show life on the wireless charger, and in Windows 7 Device Manager under Ports it shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
