[HTC U Play Questions & Answers] citorva:
Hello,

HTC having obviously stopped supporting my smartphone in terms of updating android, I want to create a custom ROM to enjoy the benefits of the later versions of android in Mashmallow.

However, HTC provides the source code of the linux kernel used as well as some tools necessary for the proper functioning of the device. In addition, it also provides a guide to compiling android. Unfortunately, this guide seems incomplete or poorly explained. So I would like to get help in compiling an android rom for this device.
[HTC U Play Questions & Answers] Kabukhader:
Please do it. unfortunately I have bought this device recently a month ago and feels like i have been cheated by HTC!! No proper support no software or security updates and really poor website with no useful data to end user, it seems that the company produced this model and dumped in the market to get our money and forgotten or ignoring users with at least security updates, even the non branded Chinese phones get better support than this brick from HTC. My first HTC phone was windows mobile on 2008 , it was poorly supported and my bad luck again with HTC u play which has the same situation. I will never buy from this company again.

[P6500 General] carrot34:
Hey all! Very happy to see a forum for this, but I think this is supposed to be a P6500 forum, not P6550. The P6550 was announced but doesn't seem to exist, and its announced features match those of the P6500.

Can anyone confirm and/or correct this?

[Android Apps and Games] OskrUnk:
Hello, I have long since left Samsung devices, I bought a Moto Z2 Force and I miss the Game Launcher quite a bit, is there any alternative to install it without root?
[Android Head-Units] Marc NL:
Hi there,

Is there, or can somebody make, an app that opens the shortcut to Google maps driving mode? The shortcut made by maps doesn't show up on my HU and in this way i hope i can start GM in driving mode.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Google Maps doesn't create the shortcut. The Launcher does.

You are probably using CarWebGuru. That doesn't show additional intents/activities by default.

Long tab the icon, select explore and you get all available launch intents.

It should be very simple to create such a kick-start app. I already created several. I will have a look tonight.

Edit: It seems that this is only possible by specifying a destination. In that case you can't start it directly in Drive mode.
[Android Head-Units] Marc NL:
I'm indeed using CWG, my favourite because of its many customization options and it's the best looking. Too bad Google maps and cover art don't work in the main widget.

Tried the long press before but that didn't work. I hope you can make that app. That would make me, and probably other people also, very happy.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
There is indeed no icon for Drive mode as Google itself does not support that.

I created an app that starts Google Maps in Drive mode, but that is actually not possible without a destination. So it will not go any farther than this.

see attached:

- apk (only a starter so only 18 Kb)

- launch icon (so you know how to find it) and it is called "StartapsInDriveMode" in the launcher

- screenshot of Maps
[Android Head-Units] Marc NL:
Tested it on both my phone and head unit and it works.

Thanks allot.

It briefly shows the full application and then switches to driving mode. This is the same behavior with the shortcut created by maps, so this is normal.

Nice job.

And btw: Google maps note also works in the main widget of CarWebGuru... I hope this stays like this.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] stipvroegop:
Hello to you all,

After quiting sync photos by Google last july, i'm looking for way to keep on sync my photo's (at least ones a day) like the Google photo app use to do.

Is there anybody who got something like this working in Tasker?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
To where do you want to sync them?

I use a rsync task nightly to back my device up to a local server. The rsync actually runs in termux as a script called by tasker. I think, but haven't done, that rsync in terms can sync to a Google drive.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] kruc Ire:
Without a doubt this is the best android phone out of the box yet ever. I am real happy to be able to take the best pics I ever took. It is also the best native apps set

The Samsung app set is good. Am almost off external apps. I have pushed vlc music player aside somewhat, as well as es file explorer, as well as the hacker keyboard. As I am real glad Samsung has its own keyboard and not the exterior keyboard types with their agreements and data collection.

The best thing is probably in "device care" where there is a RAM clearer under memory tab that clears out those apps that I use most often like social video apps and browser apps caches. This happening all at the press of 1 button.

Music app works well but still (as in VLC also it is) I can not go to album from a song that's playing. It would be a good option. The music comes up really fast after it indexes and takes up a much lower amount data to save.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
I think it is a real nice phone for it's price, but "best android phone out of the box ever", "best pics I ever took", "best native apps set"? Nahhhhh :eek:

What are you trying to tell us?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] kruc Ire:
Hey what areYOU trying to tell US? MRS. junior member

nao I mean obviously in my experience I been around here since about KitKat or maybe late JellyBean

but..nah you go ahead and criticize babe I like a feisty lady.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
Yeah, if you had a JB or KK phone before the A70, then the A70 must be amazing to you lol

But the A-series is a budget phone series. The S and Note series are better in picture quality and speed, if money is no issue and Samsung is your brand. So that was my point.

Calm down, my dear, there there. Hugs and kisses from Mrs. Beretta :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] kruc Ire:
yeah but I kno that b
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] y.erenbektas:
this is not the best phone ever for sure mate. it can't be. idk if you're joking.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] kruc Ire:
right. No I mean not joking this things the best. I don't ever wanna mess with those 500 sterling phones again. or 1000 sterling. This phone has the best apps and whatnot. Seriously like I said, the keyboard and whole feel.

Sometimes I looked back at my first phones and they were not much bigger screen than a credit card and they were so magnificent to me then. Like the Motorola Droid 2. How awesome was that thing. In the end the phone's no better than its apps. I remember when Droid 2 got the droid 3 update and they like removed the 2 notch and -2 notch in the phone's camera brightness or something like that. Some other things too.

But If ya look around the samsung developers appear to have done something pretty special with this phone in the apps I mentioned op. I mean look at the junk that is the phones of yesteryear.

Htc my god just junk. They all had "Swiftkey" keyboard after awhile. The only option was to go emoticonless and use the Hacker Keypad. So we got that. I have a literally yellow and black background with white keys board here that doesn't report back to "Swiftkey" or "Touchpal" aaand really naive the way the music app works. It's not giant screensized art but it's real fast to load. Settings, man settings. I understand that you probably have a phone from MI6, but those other apps I mentioned and settings like dark mode. Can't be beat. And the shell of THIS phone is plastic, no cracking with sudden temp changes!

No if you think about it this phone is the best phone there ever was. An I mean seriously no phones that cost 1000 sterling. or even 700. You can keep your MI6 phone, I don't even need a phone that can disable a charging water buffalo thru sonar at 100 paces...

and forget about moddable, or modded phones. There needs to be some discussion someplace about just how evil the bad elements custom rom community has gotten for people like me who never committed no crimes when they wanted us to.

i had a galaxy s8 before the a70 which is a flagship from 2017 almost 3 years old , in some way the a70 is a downgrade from the s8 ,i dont like the camera setup the s8 with a single lens took photos way better than the a70 , photos where sharper and of higher quality and the gpu in the galaxy s8 is way faster than the gpu in the a70 other than that i cant complain it is a nice phone for the money i hope devs would start messing around with this phone maybe we can eventually get a decent camera app port or a working gcam app with complete features

Basically, you have to install Oxygen again and repeat the process.

Hi -- I can't seem to get Card Export II working on my P6500. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!

Alan
[P6500 General] sammis:
Might it be because you have more than 1 card on the PPC?

Try running the app without any SD cards and see if it recognises your internal nand flash .
[P6500 General] carrot34:
Problem with SD driver

Thanks for the response. The folks at Softick have done some debugging with me and managed to make a version of Card Export that _basically_ works on the Sedna. I'm still testing it, but it seems to work best with the Hermes workaround activated.

There are still occasional problems, which seem to be the result of a problem with the Sedna SD card driver. This is what the Softick engineers reported:

"From the files I see that problem with Storage Card1 in not the problem of data transmisson between your P6500 and the host computer, but merely write to/read from the card problem. Card Export calls system function to perform card read/write, and sometimes the call hangs. This could be due to the malfunction of the card controller or of the card itself."

The card is fine -- I've used it with no problems in other PDAs and card readers, and I've reformatted it and run Chkdsk. I've noticed other problems with the card in the Sedna, however, so it seems to be an issue with the device. I'll do some more testing make a separate post about this if the problems seem consistent to the phone.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] koeksal:
Hello,

I have a Poco F1 where I can't get Roaming to work. First I had called my Provider for a Roaming permisson, after the Phone still showed up "no Network - only Emergency Calls" I tried the Sim-Card in another phone it worked as expected (Phone and Network connections).

Then I put back the Sim into the Poco F1 it still showes up "no Network"...tried different options in settings, a manual network search and so on....

still no luck.

And now the part that drives me mad....if I use another Sim Card in the Poco, Roaming works as expected, too:mad::mad:

So Sim-Card works, Phone works, it looks like only this Sim in combination with the Poco doesn't work!?:eek:

Did anyone else did a similar behavior or any idea where the issue could be?

Thanks in advance!

[Android General] daveinuk:
Hello Folks......................

I'm a little bit new to this, having only flashed SailfishOS to a Sony XA2 and LineageOS to an XA2, done both on Linux but I also

have a Win10 install if needed.

I have a neighbours phone - an Alcatel X1 with android 6 and it's been factory reset once due to contsant popups/porn which at 70 years old she doesn't appreciate! It's running Android 6, and has OEM unlocking, USB debugging and developer options enabled.

Ideally I'd like to flash it with a custom ROM like Lineage, but I'm open to suggestions or a stock ROM if that's all that about, I've done some googling and can only come up with :

https://skyfileos.com/2019/03/01/alcatel-x1-official-stock-firmware-update-rom/

And this:

https://guideroot.net/alcatel-x1-firmware-download-android-8-0-o-nougat/

But I don't know how legit they are, I know it's not a big name brand, so info seems a bit thin on the ground so I thought it best to ask if anyone here had experience with it, I'm always a bit wary when I read stuff on sites claiming you can install ANY rom on a device, I got the impression they were hardware or device specific in most cases, surely it's not the same as me wiping a laptop and trying different distros out on it?

Edit: Additional question - I recently used TWRP for the first time and was impressed, can I install this on this device?

If anyone can give me any specific help on this model of phone I'd greatly appreciate it, it doesn't need to have every last thing working flawless, so long as basic functionality, phone/messages/email/browser work.

Thank you

Dave

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tempered glass screen protector for my P30 which does not interfere with fingerprint reading.

Do you have anyone to suggest ?

I'm also looking for a good case protection with some border which can protect the screen if it falls flat.

Thanks.
[Huawei P30 Accessories] *Detection*:
For cases I always recommend Spigen

Rugged Armor is the one I always go for, has the raised lip around the screen to make sure it can never land on the screen and is nice and slim but with good protection, easy to snap in and remove with it being a flexible TPU shell
[Huawei P30 Accessories] Braseya:
For the case :

I heard good comments about Spingen. But I chose Otterbox symmetry series case black

It's more expensive than others I have seen but I'm very satisfied.

-very simple design

-high borders (protects the screen and back camera)

-slim enough (close to the camera on the back)

-hard back/softer borders

-buttons fit very well

I hesitated with the official huawei smart view flip cover

-fits the back camera perfectly

-protects the screen when closed

-smart notifications

-very good looking

But

-On my previous phone I had a flip cover and after holding it on one hand a while it get used faster

-less conveniant to put on a support for navigation in cars

-feel less durable

For the screen protector :

I will keep the one pre-installed until it needs to be changed

(I never put something else than my phone in the pocket where I put my phone and my previous phone never had one)
