Thanks, I'll give it a shot. While scrolling down the list to find it, I passed an ARCore/Playground Patcher, which also seems to be exactly what's needed. ::shrug:: I just want to try out Google Measure, which seems to need it... lol.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] kountry83:
Yea, but Pixelarity gets updated alot that's why I use it. :D
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Gamesoul Master:
Ahh, nice. I appreciate that. Always prefer apps that are updated at least somewhat regularly.

On my BA I have possibilty on hardware Keyboard of 2 languages English and Arabic. When I upgraded to WM6 I lost the Arabic. Based on information here I tried by editing the registery but I was not successful. Can someone direct me to CAB or step by step solution. Or did I loose forever this feature on my BA?

Thanks

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pdahunter:
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with WM6 on a Blue Angel so the only solution I can suggest is a Downgrade.

But: why you want patch your Blue Angel to WM6. It's designed for WM2003, with WM6 you lost the certitude all features work properly.

Moreover you lost a part of your screen area (Softkeys) plus the direct menu items in most Microsoft applications. For encrypting excel sheets you need additional software.

.net works properly under WM2003.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nasos_Gr:
Hello, I am newbie yet so I am asking if anyone can explain the vendor's use, and what do I get from installing them.

Thank you for your time
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Martensite:
Now almost roms here includes custom vendor. So you need firmware only.

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/beryllium/

And here's custom rom installation process

Flash rom

Flash firmware

Gapps(optional)

Dfe(if you don't want it to be encrypted)

Magisk(optional)

That's it. No need to know more.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
Miui decided to use MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE hence POCO F1 gets a modified vendor image for Android Pie-based Project Treble GSIs

what was the impact?

custom roms couldn't be flashed (booted) if you don't flash the modified vendor image from twrp

even today when most of the roms have their own vendor you still need to flash the vendor+firmware (atleast)

Developer Akhil Narang started collecting all releases at

https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/

currently I am using 9.6.27-9.0 which is working best for me, 10.3.6 image made my batter drainage high (atleast i noticed)

I am on HAVOC2.8 and this is how i did it

1. flashed TWRP 3.3.1 unofficial (download it from HERE ) ref Reference - as official twrp has TOUCH driver issues. this one worked with me very well

2. I wiped /data, /system then

3. flashed VENDOR.zip from HERE

4. FLASHED CUSTOM ROM (i use HAVOC2.8)

5. FLASHED DFE HERE - REFERENCE

6. FLASHED GOOGLE APPS ( GAPPS.ORG) ( ARM64>9.0MicroPackage)

7. Flash Kernel ( OPTIONAL- havoc uses shadow kernel , i feel optimus drunk kernel is better, battery and 4g connectivity) even Franco Kernel is very good

8. FLASHING MAGISK19.3

9. when i was on havoc2.7, by using MIGRATE, it made flashable zip of my APPS+DATA, stored in internalStorage, and now I will FLASH that file., Mine size goes to 2gb you can get it from HERE

10. WIPE CACHE/DELVIK

11. REBOOT

fire reboot may go in to bootloop and then second reboot may take a while and finally you should see Pixel Setup asking google accounts and info etc

-----------------------

extraa

once after you finish setup! don't RESTORE APPS from PLAYSTORE, (download only license apk, in my case I have purchases many apps from playstore and saperate license info is always appear in intial setup! SELECT THOSE ONLY)

ONCE playstore is DONE downloading all your selected (fewer) apps, and MAGISK ROOT is working...... put device on AIRPLANE MODE

FROM DROP DOWN Notification panel, CLICK MIGRATE, and it will prompt you what do you wana restore from your previouce ROM to newly flashed HAVOC ..APPS+SETTINGS+PERMISSION+DATA etc - migrate restoration may take upto 30 mins,

once done, uninstall from system and reboot device!

REMEMBER I DONOT RECOMEND MIGRATE TRICK FOR WHATSAPP, it doesn't work properly and NOTIFICATION ISSUES with BLANK DP observed by me whenever I forcely re-instated whatsapp by migrate!

:)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nasos_Gr:
I understand but I have installed some custom Roms without finding vendor image and still it works perfect.

And do I need to install this image every time I flash a new ROM?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Martensite:
Flashing custom roms will not wipe anything, so the vendor is still there. And firmwares too.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] TheEdgeOfRage:
I unlocked my bootloader and managed to install TWRP and Magisk to get root on stock. But I don't like running MIUI, so I tried PA, which didn't boot, just stuck on the Mi logo without an animation on the bottom. So I tried Lineage and that one won't boot either.

Between each failed flash and boot I have to reflash MIUI using fastboot or otherwise I can't get into recovery. Next I tried to flash some GSI systems using fastboot flash system <image> and formatting user data, but that didn't work either, it loops on the kernel boot screen. Am I missing something? Are there more steps that I should take before being able to boot custom ROMs?

PS. I'm running the latest MIUI Global 10.3.11.0 (PFJMIXM)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] haakufurou:
Are you sure you're following the ROM developer's installation instructions correctly?

Are you:

performing the correct TWRP pre-install routines? (e.g. wiping cache, system, vendor, etc.)

flashing a specified MIUI ROM prior to flashing custom ROM?

flashing some specified post-install scripts?

flashing a non-recommended GApps package? (for ROMs that don't include GApps)

others

Check each ROM's install instructions and make sure you follow them right to the dot.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] TheEdgeOfRage:
Yeah, apparently wiping system is necessary. I'm used to only having to flash a ROM and it would rewrite system completely on other phones.

Thank you for the help :)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] fubugang:
Are you using the correct twrp? Wipe, advanced, wipe system,vendor, data, cache/dalvic. Install rom, then format data afterwards. Also recommend to have rom on a PC/otg since you're gonna be wiping internal storage

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thomase00:
My Pixel XL 128GB on Android 10 just randomly started bootlooping during normal use. Totally stock with Verizon sim card, but received directly from Google (actually it is a warranty replacement received about 2 years ago for a Nexus 6P that I bought directly from Google in Feburary of 2016 due to faulty battery).

Bootloader is still locked. USB debugging is disabled.

Google logo just keeps appearing and disappearing on screen. I can get into fastboot by holding power and volume down, but choosing recovery mode just goes back into bootloop.

Am I hopelessly bricked?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thomase00:
After looping several times I was able to reboot once. I went into developer mode and enabled "USB debugging" soon after which it crashed again. Only then did I realize that I was SUPPOSED to enable "OEM Unlocking" rather than "USB debuging"! :mad:

I still haven't been able to boot it again since. Any suggestions? Would heating or cooling the device help? What are the chances that re-flashing the factory image will even help?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thomase00:
Well, I was able to get in again and barely had enough to enable "OEM Unlocking". I proceeded to unlock the bootloader and re-flash the latest Android 10 factory image (the one ending in .20). I can't get through the new phone setup process before it crashes and eventually reboots. It might get as far as connecting to Wifi but always eventually crashes while "Checking for updates...".

I could try an older Android 9 image, but it seems like I have a straight-up hardware failure (SoC, DDR, flash memory, etc.).

At this point I'm resigned to the fact that it is most likely dead. Are there any custom recovery images that I can flash that can run hardware diagnostics so I that I can pinpoint the failed component?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] c1-p8:
The same thing happened today to my wife's xl pixel still with android 9, now I've updated it to 10 and for now it works but I think it seems like there's a battery problem. I think the battery is bad but it is strange that it happens this way
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wazza1991:
Looks like i have the same issue. If you remember one of the android betas (beta 4 i believe) had this issue where the phone got stuck in bootloop. I had this issue and im unable to fix it. My phone keeps bootlooping on the google logo...i tried reflashing the factory image for 9.0 or 10.0 but no luck. I even tried installing a custom rom and that too reboots on the google/custom rom logo. Is there any other way to fix this? Is this a hardware issue? please help :(
[Android General] Godecki:
I have been always using Night light before going to bed which makes the screen warmer. This is good for you before going to sleep, as blue light will disturb you. If you are new to this, search this topic up in the Internet.

So, recently I thought about using Reading mode (which converts the screen to greyscale) for night and what I found in the Internet is that this mode as well as Night light helps to fall asleep. However I was confused, as greyscale includes just shades of black and white, whereas white is the mix of red, green and BLUE. I conducted a little research using my phones and a macro lens.

I wanted to find out which colours are really being displayed when using Night light/Reading mode. I shot some macro photos of the OLED screen (OnePlus 7 Pro) and I did one shot of the LCD screen (Xperia S). Here are the results:

https://imgur.com/oPSC3Zy

Night light:

#1 As you can see, on the first photo not only are red pixels involved in Night light but also the blue light is reduced.

#2 On the second image the difference is more subtle when the change concerns white light, however when taken as one the difference is noticable.

#3 On the third image there is the same story. The bluish colour is now dimmed and some more red is involved.

#4 Here I was viewing blue and red colour. After enabling Night light the blue colour dimished strongly and the red was even more punchy.

#5 This one is taken on the LCD screen - the same trend applies.

Reading mode:

#6 Here I was displaying pure red. After applying the filter, the screen turned into some shade of gray, which is the combination of red, green and blue. Thus, blue pixels got involved here.

#7 This is again a mix of red and blue. After using the filter, they turned to different shades of grey. So on the blue side the red pixels turned on, and on the red side the blue pixels turned on.

According to this, my guess is that Reading mode doesn't really help much when going to bed, as blue pixels are still turned on when viewing any colour (apart from black on OLED screens). What are your thoughts? Am I right or do I miss something?

This is a question i really need answering as wired audio quality is very important to me and my Note 8 Exynos with the Cirrus Wolfson DAC sounds great and shows up as a separate dedicated DAC in USB Audio Player etc whereas the Mate 20 X doesn't and literally sounds like trash for wired audio quality, so does anyone know what DAC this has and if it shows up as a dedicated DAC with a decent audio player ? thx

Good question for me when i use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro&hl=en_GB it literally comes up with a message saying Hifi audio DAC detected or something like along those lines but this phone is rather new and may not be recognised or supported yet or maybe it is im not sure, also i can normally tell within 5 minutes if a phone has a True audiophile DAC in it or not.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] bluegizmo83:
Ah ok. That app is $7.99 so I can't really test with that right now. I'm no audiophile but I can definitely say this phone sounds way better than any other phone I've ever owned, with and without headphones. It has nice audio customization settings as well built in (6 band EQ for front facing speakers, 10 band EQ when using headphones, headphone profiles with lots of brands, custom listening profile that will test your hearing, etc)

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] chuckRN:
I think this means rog phone 2 is using qualcomm's built in dac, and as of 2017, afaik, it's the wcd9 something.

Every qualcomm chip has a built in dac to it, it's just the phone manufacturer's choice if they want to configure it to take advantage of the dac. And i think asus, like other manufacturer's (vivo and xiaomi), chose to take advantage of it.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] chuckRN:
Try connecting your phone to a pc, make sure that adb drivers are installed. Then type this command in cmd:

Adb shell

su

cat /proc/asound/cards

or

adb shell

su

cat /proc/asound/card0

(Credits to [MENTION=4074798]zenaufa[/MENTION] for these commands)

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] bluegizmo83:
Sadly that requires Root, which I haven't got around to doing yet.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] chuckRN:
That's sad. Anyway, if you ever decide to root you phone, don't forget to try this command.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] viper98:
I'm so glad I saw this comment. I had no idea sound profiles were a thing the phone had.

I had just given up using wired headphones because the quality was pretty bad, but this is a night and day difference.

Unfortunately, the profiles are all for older headphones (I use vmoda Crossfade 2s and bests studio 2.0s) but choosing the previous generation of each worked wonders
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] bluegizmo83:
Yeah my headphones weren't on the list either (over the ear style HyperX Cloud 2's) but the Listening Profile option that tests your hearing and makes adjustments based off the made a huge difference!

I updated my unlocked note 10+ firmware last night. Before I did I made sure to back up everything through smartswitch. For some reason my phone didn't save some previous settings.

The one setting I cant seem to find is for Chrome. As you can see in the Before firmware flash photo the top bar is grey.

The After photo is after I flashed my firmware and as you can see the top bar in Chrome is white.

I cannot find the setting to make it grey again.

Would any of y'all happen to know what I'm talking about and how I can get that previous setting?

Hello everyone, I am trying to edit my efs1.emmc.win due to a problem I am having with my Moto g6 plus regarding my IMEI, which appears as 0

I have two backups from my efs, in the first one my signals (wifi/data) just drop every 10 seconds and in the second one the wifi is stable but there is no IMEI.

When I put the file on a hex editor there is nothing making sense (not even my IMEI in the one that has it) except from the first line that says IMGEFS1

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kenta09:
Hey guys.

Got a Oneplus 6 running lastest OTA with latest TWRP installed.

Before flash this latest OTA, I was running latest open Beta, flashed by TWRP, with no problems.

Just booted on TWRP today to flash latest Beta again, but when I drawed the patterns, TWRP restarts. Tryed some more times, same thing, put the right patterns, TWRP imagem boots into it again.

Rebooted into system, but the system said wrong pattern now. Can't boot in system anymore too.

Booted in TWRP again, went to File Manager, and deleted these files inside /data/system (Guess I ****ed up even more here)

locksettings.db-wal

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db

Now I can boot in system, but it stay stuck on Initializing system on screen, and I can access only configuration using the status bar. Tryed to set the same pattern on security, still don`t work on TWRP decrypting, and system keeps saying Initializing.

Got pretty stuck here, don't know nothing else to try, anyone have any clue on what I can do?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] makeyourself:
When asked for the pattern in TWRP instead of trying to enter it choose the "do not decrypt /data" option. Then you can format (not wipe) /data. Obviously you'll lose everything, including on internal storage.

And also, it may happen again if you don't flash the no_verity zip. That stops the ROM re-encrypting /data. See this thread for more info.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
Looks like some Security Patch downgrade stuff. You flashed an older build, encryption gets messed up because the Security Patch date is older than the one previously installed, you'll have to format your Data partition to decrypt the storage.

As said above, running decrypted will prevent those situtations :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] GuestD2559:
Although some may advice running decrypted to avoid situations, I won't recommend it, especially if you're using TWRP. A person with a good knowledge would be able to do what you did and remove lockscreen security, compromising your important accounts.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Ramihyn:
And: instead of a pattern, it's recommended to use a PIN (at least 8 digits) or password (at least 6 letters/digits/specialchars)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
To be honest, altough what you said is absolutely true, finding yourself in a situation where someone steals your phone, sees he can't enter it, but happens to know how to use TWRP to remove the lockscreen security or sideload your data is pretty far fetched.

Frankly, loosing your data over a bad flash seems a bit more threatening.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] GuestD2559:
Not threatening if you back up those data. Which everyone should do regardless if you're going to flash a ROM or not.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
Agreed, that is what i personally do. I like being able to flash anything and potentially having to format the whole storage without any worry. Using Google Photos, Keep, Doc, ect, using Spotify and syncing every contact really makes life easier.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] makeyourself:
Which is fine if you are only getting this issue directly after ROM flashing or at some other predictable time. But when I was getting it, my lockscreen code/pattern was initially working fine after flashing the ROM, then it would stop working at some seemingly random moment. So the only way I could reliably have any data stored was to run with /data unencrypted. Which I agree is not ideal.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modify_inc:
I have a Verizon Note 4, model N910V. I'm looking for a rom that has the WiFi Calling feature. My understanding is that only Samsung roms or roms that are closely related to them will have WiFi Calling. I've used Jasmine and Lineage roms, but they don't offer this feature. I'm almost willing to just install a stock firmware from Samsung, but isn't 6.0.1 MM the highest available for this phone?

Advanced/WiFi Calling Fix

This is how I got mine working; it's the same fix that [MENTION=5947413]mharleston[/MENTION] brought to light a while back.

Using any root explorer do the following:

-Go to /system/csc/ and find the sales_code.dat file

-Open with a text editor and change the VZW to TMB

-Save that file and reboot

-After the reboot go back to the same file and change it back to VZW and reboot again

Once it boots back up check in Settings and you should be able to access both the Advanced Calling and WiFi Calling
