There's a setting in developer options to override and enable dark mode system wide. That setting enabled dark mode in all apps for me. It's called override force dark. Try it out. Some apps don't play nice with it but most do.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] abduljaz7:
You have to be on the new stable version of Android 10, and have developer settings enabled. Within developer settings near the bottom of the list you should see overide dark mode.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jaseman:

Oh well. I've had Android 10 (official / stable) on my Pixel 2 XL for a while now, Already have Dark Theme turned on in Settings / Display. Override Force-Dark in Settings / Developer Options turned on. Rebooted (several times). Still no dice with Gmail (and I'm also on the latest APK - 2019.09.01.268168002). I don't even see the Dark theme in Gmail settings - evidence of it at all in Gmail so far.

Sure seems like I'm still waiting for server-side update lottery to pick my number.

If you are rooted and have the latest gmail installed and you are rooted then try the following.

Go to data/data/com.google.android.gm/shared_prefs/Flagprefs.xml and change the line that says name="DarkThemeSupport_dark_theme_support" value="false" to "true" and save it.

So it should now read name="DarkThemeSupport_dark_theme_support" value="true"

Force kill gmail and you should have the option in your gmail general settings then.

Thanks, it works perfectly!

Btw, I tried to do the same with Google App but I didn't find where to change the dark mode line, can you help me on this?

Update (a second state acheived)

I managed to get the phone into some other mode (I guess what was called "flash mode" in other xperia devices). The indicator here is that the led is green instead of blue (fastboot). Well, it still seems to be some sort of fastboot mode, although quite a bit is different. For one thing, the device doesn't send its serial. In /var/log/kern.log I see:

Sep 22 21:53:11 kernel: [25251.575770] usb 1-1: Product: Android
Sep 22 21:53:11 kernel: [25251.575772] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Sony
Sep 22 21:56:50 kernel: [25470.553359] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 40
Sep 22 21:56:57kernel: [25477.008071] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 41 using xhci_hcd
Sep 22 21:56:57 kernel: [25477.158020] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0fce, idProduct=b00b, bcdDevice= 4.04
Sep 22 21:56:57 kernel: [25477.158025] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

Then, fastboot itself says that the serial is a bunch of question marks:

$ fastboot devices
????????????	fastboot

Most interesting, now I get farther along the 'flash' command, instead of failing on 'Sending' with no such device, I see that the sending is "OKAY", but then the command to write fails as "unauthenticated".

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (34548 KB) OKAY [ 1.314s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Command not authenticated')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Also, now `getvar all` has different info:

Also, in this mode, instead of just hanging if I retry the `oem unlock` command, it promptly replies that it's already unlocked.

$ fastboot oem unlock 0xBADHEAD
FAILED (remote: 'Bootloader already unlocked')
fastboot: error: Command failed

These seem like important clues. I'm looking for any tips parsing them :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] bookworth:
Rooting is not worth it anymore.

With any flashing there is the risk to damage the memory chips (because, you know, manufacturing defects, wearing out, etc). With old device the risk is even higher - and you won't have warranty anymore.

What I am saying is that you may have a (now) defective device.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] apexofservice:
Sure. It's possible that the device is defective. The purpose of this thread is to determine that. Do you have any experience which is relevant?

This is not about "rooting" in the traditional sense of owning uid 0 in Android. This is about installing a system which I'm comfortable using.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] bookworth:
I think you can obviously see that the device is old and both the offial and unofficial support has faded. It is just like flashing a Nokia E6 from 2011 today - noone cares. I know because I just did the Nokia thing.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
[MENTION=3539907]apexofservice[/MENTION], for flashing twrp image you need fastboot mode - blue led light (vol+ held while connecting to usb).

The other mode - green led light - is flash mode (Sony Service Mode) - there you can flash only sony signed stock firmware (like with newflasher all those .sin files).

I guess you troubles are most likely caused by some old version of 'fastboot' utility in your linux distro - are you using the version you've installed for modding your previous sony phone?

Or did you follow the sony unlocking guide and really installed the recommended fastboot utility version (as part of some android devel pack)?

To rule out flash error, you may try to just boot twrp without flashing it:

fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img

I wonder why so many people just unlock the phone without reading first?

You might have noticed, there is a drm keys backup method and do that first before unlocking...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
[MENTION=3539907]apexofservice[/MENTION], instead of flashtool, just use newflasher to try to flash stock fw.

In linux you can ignore the pre-built binaries and just compile from source.

You may ignore even the prepared makefile and just use

gcc -o newflasher newflasher.c -lz -lexpat -ggdb

in order to use your system libs instead of those bundled.

Just do not use -O2 as that seams to cause flashtool segfault if compiled with -O2 with some recent gcc versions (there is probably a bug somewhere), -O0 resolves the segfault if it happens.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
[MENTION=3539907]apexofservice[/MENTION], xz1c sony flash mode init script contains this

# Increase min_free_kbytes to reduce risk of getting out of memory when doing USB read.
# The value 56766 was created by adding 12*4096 to the default value of 7614. I.e. we
# add 12 4MB buffers and this seems to be big enough for our use case.
write /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 56766

Maybe it is related also to your linux setup?

Could you test

echo 56766 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

before testing fastboot or newflasher?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] apexofservice:
Last update for now. I upgraded glibc and got to try out the lastest FlashTool. It's very cool that they've got XperiFirm integrated now. However, my situation is unchanged. When I go ServiceMode (Green LED), FlashTool says "Device connected with usb debugging disabled". When I connect with fastboot mode (Blue LED), i see a libusb error in stderr which says "libusb_get_string_descriptor_ascii : I/O Errors".

So, I guess I've tried all the tools now, and the device really is responding surprisingly to commands, it seems. I think I'm down to USB ports/cables. Unless people have other ideas.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] apexofservice:
Just saw your posts. Thanks for the quick reply.

FWIW, my system currently has 67584, so technically 56766 is a *decrease*. In any case, I tried it. Unfortunately, same output as previous:

./platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-lilac-pie-5.img
Sending 'recovery' (34548 KB) FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Btw, where are you reading the source of that sony init script from?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] apexofservice:
Cool, I actually did try newflasher already. I had compiled it from source (I had to change the source minimally because it has a hard-coded device id). After I changed that (to 0x0dde), I built it with `make`. I recompiled using your suggested `gcc` invocation and alas, same error as what I saw last time I tried it.

$ ./newflasher

n
- Error, no DATA reply!

End. You can disconnect your device when you close newflasher

I read in the fastboot README that that DATA reply is what's supposed to happen when the device reports that it's ready to read after and OKAY.

In fact, it was pretty easy to add the line `printf("%s\n", tmp_reply);" to the source code right after the line which is printing

"no DATA reply" and then I recompile and see:

- Error, no DATA reply!
FAILunknown command

So that's the same "unknown command" message that I'm seeing from the fastboot tool too. Shucks.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
[MENTION=3539907]apexofservice[/MENTION], your change of "hardcoded" device id does not make sense. The original device id in newflasher is all right.

Changing it to 0x0dde means you are trying to use newflasher in fastboot mode (i.e. idVendor=0fce, idProduct=0dde) which is indicated by blue led light. That will not work.

You need to use flash mode (green led light: idVendor=0fce, idProduct=b00b) with newflasher - no change in source needed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
You should know that even LOS16 is depending on stock heavily - my (a bit outdated) source build tree contains 467MB of stock fw proprietary binary blobs. Those blobs might still contain functions that depend on drm, like for example stock camera.

Another discussion about this topic with interesting links is in this thread:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] apexofservice:
Good news here is that I managed to finally properly use newflasher to flash a stock ROM (android 9) and boot into it. Hooray. Bad news is that I still get the same behavior as reported above when I try to flash twrp. As above, I can't even boot into it with `fastboot boot twrp.img`. Since I'm really not interested in using the stock ROM, I'd love advice on what I may need to try next in order to get a custom recovery working (and eventually, obviously, a custom ROM).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] R3xXDA:
Had very similar issues - could only get to fastboot devices. Nothing else worked. Then I read that connecting through USB hub could work. Now fastboot getvar all works as well, managed to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] hockeymikey:
Go take this garbage elsewhere, rooting and custom roms are very much worth it unless you like a crappy bloated stock rom. The devices are not defective nor is there any risk really as long as you're able to read. Way to waste the OP's time too and mine.

Still having issues or did you figure it out?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] ernstlustig:
Same for me after flashing the firmware. Issue solved.

I got the latest TWRP here: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-stock-security-t3706704

Then I activated flash mode. (Phone off, volume down, then connect USB. The green LED is lit, otherwise black screen.)

fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.xxx.img

I Copied the TWRP image to the phone, then I used TWRP to install the TWRP image. (There is an option to install ZIP, which is default, or image.)

[Android Apps and Games] Master255:
Added codecs as planned. The player has become even more unique.

There are no separate codecs in Android. There are "modular players" that contain all these codecs themselves and concurrently reproduce content using the same codecs, because the algorithms for interacting with codecs are very complex. There to decrypt the container, match the codecs ... understand where the audio track, and where the video ...

Well, there are a lot of player modules on the Internet ... there were many candidates. Everyone has their drawbacks and at first I didn’t think of using ExoPlayer, but when I tried to use it, I realized that it is the best in playback quality and speed. Therefore, now it is used by default.

In the future, it is planned to introduce playback of torrent files. So I needed a module to play any video. It turned out to be VLC. At first it seemed very green and with bugs, but then it was possible to get rid of all the bugs and bring it to a stable state.

The application architecture is modular ... so I can add at least 100 different playback submodules.

All the benefits that were previously preserved. Along with the modules, new HLS, Dash streaming algorithms were added - which I do not welcome. They work without saving the file to disk.

The second ExoPlayer module plays content with improved quality. He literally does remastering on the fly. It improves the quality of audio and video, so it is used by default.

The free version 5.0 does not contain some fixes and codecs, and may contain bugs that are already fixed in the paid version.

How come there's such a lack of custom kernels for our S10+ devices?

I remember the S7/S8 having some atleast.

Has it become increasingly difficult or have our usual developers left the Samsung ecosystem?

Samsung isn't known for being developer friendly. I think Samsung needs to release their kernel source code for the S10+ before devs can create custom kernels. Maybe they haven't done that yet.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrt0r:
Hello everyone,

i successfully unlocked neighbors S8+ from OEM Lock and Google FRP Lock.

Now the older brother asked if i can try it with his Galaxy S6 Edge, but i can't disable the Reactivation lock.

He doesn't have an Samsung Account (at least he says so).

The phone is on G925FXXU6ERF5 (Android 7) and only the Samsung Reactivation Lock is enabled.

What i tried so far:

1.

Installed other firmware over Odin (I think i tryed about 20, including one that is Android 6)

Always flashed combination rom between the different roms.

Trying to install TWRP end with "Blocked by R/L".

Trying to install older firmware then "U6" ends with the error: "Device: 6 Binary x"

2.

Installed Samsung Account over adb in combination rom and created an account there. I have an Samsung account now with the S6 Edge and even the IMEI, but when i boot into Stock Rom findmymobile always says, couldn't locate your phone. Using this account to log in on the phone ends with "Wrong password or id".

3.

Tried every youtube video: "Bypass Samsung reactivation lock" that is out there. (Emergency call and so on..., they seem to be all outdated).

I have no more ideas what i can try. Any help ?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Micheal86:
Hi everyone,

I want to buy a smartphone - but stuck between Op 7 or K20 pro ? Can't make my mind - which one should I buy ?

Any suggestion/ advice will be highly appreciated.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] touch of jobo:
They are pretty similar. Run on the same platform, CPU, GPU. Both AMOLED, same resolution.

The K20pro / 9Tpro has an audio jack, OP7 does not.

OP7 has stereo speakers, K20p/9Tp does not.

The K20pro / 9Tpro has FM radio, OP7 does not.

I believe the OP7 has OIS on the main camera, K20pro/9Tpro does not.

The OP7 has a (small) notch in the screen. The K20pro/9Tpro has a popup front facing camera.

K20pro/9Tpro has a somewhat bigger battery.

For me personally, the popup cam is not a problem because I don't use face-unlock or take selfies, and having a full notch-less display is very nice.

I imagine that if you're the kind of person that uses the front facing camera a lot, the popup camera becomes annoying pretty fast. (but I don't know because I'm not that person)

FM radio is a feature I really like to have, but I'm probably alone in that one.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Micheal86:
Thanks mate for your detailed comparison .

I don't use face-unlock and selfies like you. So it 'll not be any issue for me. Though I don't like Pop-Up camera. But I really like stereo speakers.

BTW, how's the battery life of K20 pro ?

OP7 has almost no development - unlike the K 20 Pro.

But I really don't like the bootloader unlocking procedure of Xiaomi. It's really annoying (really)to me.

Would you throw some lights on the multi-media experiences of K20 Pro - 3.5 mm audio quality, watching video/movie experience etc.? Really it's very important to me.

Which one would be better for multi-media between these two ?

Thank you once again for your reply.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Rhoban:
K20 Pro has a HiFi DAC built-in. It's 24 bits / 192 KHz.

So it has the ability to play High Definition audio.

You don't really need to unlock the bootloader unless you really need root for something or actually want to change ROMs.

I used the Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tool to disable apps that I don't use. MIUI isn't that bad, for now at least.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Anonda:
I was confused about that last few days, finally bought k20 pro, for 3.5 mm audio jack and price difference. audio, movies and camera are great.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] touch of jobo:
I am probably not the best judge. I don't have an OP7, have only used this device (European 9Tpro) for under 2 weeks now and my previous phone was almost 5 years old. To me, watching video on the notch-less OLED and listening through simple wired earphones is very good.

Battery life is good. In normal day to day use when I'm not traveling, I can charge it every 2 days. In heavy use it will still last a full day easy. I have everything on all the time (wifi, sync, location, bluetooth, ambient display).

I plan to keep mine stock and locked for at least the first month, but yes from what I read on these forums, unlocking and flashing is more cumbersome and has more pitfalls than I'm used to from HTC devices.
