Hi

I'd like to know what you guys think is the best WM 6.1 ROM is to put on the Universal at the moment. In addition how do I upgrade my radio version?

Many thanks

Sam
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Win_XP:
For me the best now is Mo3ulla's new rom :) most faster rom ever, and stable also :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sam.benahmed:
Does it support new Windows Live?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] KALI2000:
Tue best wm6.1 is Ranju v7.7.:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] KALI2000:
The best wm6.1 is Ranju v7.7.:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sam.benahmed:
Yeah, I was looking at Ranju's and it does sound pretty darn amazing!!! :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Tahmaseeb:
yes it supports new windows live

n the best rom now is ranju's
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lord2654:
I don't like Ranju 7.7 & flashdisk.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rilazi:
Mo3ulla's new rom
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sam.benahmed:
Mixed opinions here but I think I will flash my O2 XDA Exec with Ranju's ROM as I like the look of it :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lagoudakis:
The best rom for me is Ranju v7.7!!:):)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] loithuxua:
Well, I haven't tried Mo3ulla's yet but I tried the Rom by QuangPham PDAViet and Ranju and decided to have RAN on mine as there are essential pre-installed softs by Ranju. Using it with Radio 1.18 produce sharp sound and strong and stable signal reception, though a bit soft. More importantly, no irritating reset.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Win_XP:
Mo3ulla's rom are vanilla (very fast and stable), and it depends on that what you need, if you don't like vanilla roms - go for Ranju's 7.7 :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] amostalmor:
I have RANJU on my UNI

I have RANJU on my UNI and it works fine only missing point is there is no 3G
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] davideuck:
Mo3ulla's ROM is the best!!;)

Is more fast and stable regarding the ranju's one

and above all you will not have problems when

you want to flash another rom!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Giustiniano:
What kind of problems can arise in that case? I'm interested because i flashed Ranju's rom BEFORE reading this...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] WackMachine:
You should simply try them all. I was having problems with Mo3ulla's rom but other people say it's working great. So it depends on what you consider "best".
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] LazaPasi:
Best Wm 6.1 Rom?

Darkforce Power!!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Bright.Light:
Darkforce leave too little memory free... But it looks great.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Tanzbaerli:
I use RANJU Roms too and i have no problem with 3g/UMTS.

The ROM is great and all works fine ... no need to to any further upgrade (until Windows Mobile 7 is available).

Do normal mix 3 cases fit the 5g version does anyone know? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
Yes, they're exactly the same, specifically: 157.9 x 74.7 x 8.5 mm dimensions. The 5G version is an upgraded version of the regular mi mix, but nothing changed into the aesthetics of the device

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
The 5G model is thicker, so I think it unlikely that any of the three cases I have would fit, particularly my favourite which hooks over the lip of the back section, between that and the screen section. That said, the 5G is a downgrade, not an upgrade, since it doesn't have all the LTE bands and doesn't have wireless charging!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] ShocWave:
I just got the 5G, and compared it with my friend's older model.

The 5G camera has pretty much no bump. The chassis is so thick the camera doesn't stick out.

The old version has a huge camera bump because the chassis is thinner.

Ignore people who say A Mi mix 3 case will not fit the 5G version. I just got one off Ebay and it fits perfectly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] motanel_pufos:
some of them fit, some of them don't. it's pure luck. mi mix 3 5G is 1 mm thicker and normal cases pushes the sliding mechanism. I got from ebay some that are for mi mix 3 and it doesn't fit really good.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
Anyone else feel it's a deal breaker? 64gb without unlimited original quality backup is rediculous and contradictory to their previous reasons for such small storage in the base model.

Maybe we can get them to reconsider:

https://www.change.org/p/google-bri...y-photo-storage-to-google-pixel-4?signed=true
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Yeah, I gotta say, that's a pretty crappy thing for google to do. Forcing people to now use a purchased plan(like everybody else) to store your original quality pics. I will defend google over most other OEM's any day of the week, but this is pretty hard to swallow. I don't even use it, but it's still a shady practice
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
At first I wasn't happy with them removing unlimited original quality. After thinking about it, they are a for profit company after all and they want more people to get into their One Drive subscriptions. I've actually had their 100GB for $20/year (Which isn't that's much at all) and am only using only 13.24GB of it. I still have 90.76GB to spare. Who know how long or short that's going to last me. I take mostly pictures and only 30-60 second video shots once in a while. And in comparison, who else is even offer unlimited high quality backups of photos and videos? That alone is pretty generous in of itself. If anything,Google was spoiling us the last 3 Pixels.

Also, iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max 64 GB models are $999 and $1099 respectively and offer no free unlimited backup. Yes I know they have a handful of features Pixels don't, but just saying.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] marinosms:
iPhone users get full original picture backup on Google Photos for free though. Can't post links yet but you can check on reddit by searching "iPhone users get full original picture backup on Google Photos for free due to iOS HEIC encoding being smaller than Google compressed images so no need to compress further"
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
That's true and actually any Android phone gets unlimited high quality backups. But all my non-techy friends who have iPhones really don't use Google Photos. They're so tied to Apple's ecosystem and pay iCloud or just full up their free space. If anything, they could've made that feature Pixel only and really piss people off. LOL. For real, I don't disagree though that it was a big differentiating feature of Pixel phones.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
It's not a deal breaker at all. Let me tell you why.....1. nothing will stay free forever. Name another company that gives you free unlimited storage full size including 4k video and 2. This is a good one....I've been a Google one subscriber for a couple years now and guess how much I've paid out of pocket....$0! Simply because they give you the Google rewards app to answer silly surveys and pay you for it. Guess where all my earnings go...towards my google subscription. I currently have $16 in rewards and as they take payments I get enough surveys that builds my money back up. So in essence, it's still free.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
That's an excellent idea, I didn't even think of that
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
You're welcome lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
I use Google Rewards for the occasional app subscription or Google Play Movies rental. [emoji1]
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] rayzerblayde:
Hooooooooooly sh.. I never thought of that! I'm tossing between the Pixel 4 XL and the OP7 Pro, but realising this, I'm reconsidering my decision on the OP7 Pro.

Might get my mate who works at JB Hi-fi to set aside the orange model. Also, wireless charging HYPE!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
I just did the math on my rewards and it's $30.78 per/year since November 2013 for me. That's good enough for the $30/year for 200GB.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Lol nailed it. I've even bought stuff in between with my earnings and still haven't paid out of pocket. It's a no brainer man.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
I guess Google doesn't like me, it says no survey at this time ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
Keep in mind also, Google One subs also receive other benefits as well. I have received a free home mini, got $200 off my 3 XL, a $5 credit on the play store. I was on a 1TB Drive sub, they doubled my storage to 2 TB for the same price when One was released.

Currently you get 10% store credit on Google store purchases. They have a deal for up to 40% off on hotels. They add new deals now and then.

In total I get $200 store credit for ordering the 4 XL.

I understand not everyone would like/use Google store credit, but it does offset the cost of doing business with Google if you take advantage.

And yes, Google rewards is also a great way to get 'free' stuff from them, I currently am at $124.30 lifetime in rewards from them.

If you wanna get real crazy, look up Google user research and join that, they have paid up to $100 an hour (that I have seen) for participation.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
See, this is the stuff people don't talk about. Instead they just bash on Google for taking away free unlimited storage at full size....amongst other things that are business decisions.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
I get the backlash, the reality of todays world is people want free stuff. Who wouldn't? I love free stuff as much as the next, but the reality is, it isn't really free, somewhere along the line, someone is paying for it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Exactly. I get it. It's just really sad it's like this. I mean they just talk about Google taking away free storage...but not one article seems to mention hey, you want free? Just use Google rewards and they pay you which in turn can go towards a Google one subscription. Just the hate on them is sick. Oh well I guess.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
First off, Google Surveys is the sheeeeet! I've made $70+ with it, and I only signed up this year. I've used it on a lot of paid apps that are awesome. I guess the storage is a good thing to use it for now. No biggie there I guess. It balances out.

Also, I'm a cloud architect, and storage is still VERY expensive. Google likely uses SSD's for there photos backups for quick retrieval too, not to mention a very high speed network between their data centers. Those things are EXPENSIVE. And full 4k video, plus 1080p photos from millions of users? Just imagine how much that costs Google. This simply could not last forever. I don't like this either, but I'll just pay the $1.99 or $2.99 per month with my surveys money. No loss.

Also, consider that Apple doesn't do this for free. I doubt Samsung does either. So, making this a huge deal is pretty bratty IMO.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

They don't just popup when you first open it. 90% of the surveys are for places you've been (or it thinks you've been, think nearby stuff), the rest are YouTube, YouTube music stuff and some random other things. Once you start going places you'll start getting them. I typically get one for YouTube whatever after anytime I use my Nest Hub to stream music from YTM. Those are like 50-75 cents per. The others expect 10 cents to 50 cents per.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
right on, I appreciate the input. Would have thanked the post, but apparently I've reached my quota for the day. WTF
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Just did my first survey. .20 cents, but it was free and I am sure it adds up quick. Thanks for the tip, guys ??
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] johnlgalt:
Not a deal breaker for me either, as I've been paying for 100 GB storage since long before my current Taimen was ever purchased. I'm currently using about 35 GB of that storage, and I have lots and lots of photos there.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Does anyone still deal with the conditions and the meaning behind upload in high, and upload in original quality in Google Fotos? Apparently not, because if so, you would know the following:

The upload in "original quality" is not needed IMHO, because an upload in "high quality" means that only under certain circumstances you have to make some cuts. The photos are only compressed when a photo is larger than 16 MP in order to reduce them to 16 MP.

Since the largest lens of the Pixel 4XL has 16 MP, photos maximum size will be 16 MP, and thus every photo will be stored in original size at Google Photos, without any compression. You don't have to make any compromises, even if Google only offers us the upload in "high quality". Thus, the upload in "original quality" is only needed when the largest lens has 16.1 MP or more. So it's relevant for 48 MP smartphones, but not for the Pixel 4/4XL.

A German speaking blog has tested this several times. Always with the very result I just described: https://stadt-bremerhaven.de/google-fotos-backup-optionen-und-speicherplatzverbrauch-erklaert/amp/
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
This is true.....I've uploaded photos in what they call high quality from my DSLR and the quality change isn't even noticable. People just like complaining man. However, it does effect those uploading videos as it won't upload 4K.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
This. Although I take way more pics than videos and I only do 30-60 second recordings, I do like my full quality backup.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
I'm the same man, I barely use video, probably why I'm not so picky about it. The pixel is good enough for me. Photos tho, I take tons of photos all the time.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
I agree with you, 4K videos will surely be compressed. Have to admit that I didn't consider videos, as I don't do those often.

At least the photos taken with the Pixel 4XL will be uploaded in full resolution at any time, because of the above mentioned fact.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Like I've been telling other people recently, Google rewards pays for my Google one subscription. Why wouldn't anyone wanting full res just use Google rewards. Especially all these articles complaining about it being taken away, they all fail to mention Google is still giving options to get it free.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It's cause it's not really an offered way and not explicitly used for a Google One Drive subscription. I never actually paid One Drive with it but use it for movies. It's more of a work around to saying use Google Rewards as a way to get One Drive.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
True, but why not mention it as it is a way. People still don't know about it and how it can actually be used, so why not educate them. I guess that's all I'm saying. Every other article out there tends to show you work arounds for things, like getting Google services working on a mate 30 for example. How to install latest Google camera to get astrophotography feature now instead of waiting..etc etc. I know you get what I'm saying.

You could just buy an older pixel model and transfer the files to the older phone ... Let them be uploaded from there . It'll still be free and original . Is what's I've always done from my GoPro .
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
It's funny that anyone could think Google was losing money on storage, that cost was built into the phone and part of why the cost was higher than expected for the hardware. Or at least that's the way we all took it because they literally advertised it as a value add feature. I don't actually have a horse in this race because I don't use Photos on the Pixel or any other phone, never have, wont for the foreseeable future. In any event while they were not losing anything because the cost was already built into the product, they were giving something up, more profit. What you have here is nothing but corporate greed clamping it's fingers down to see if the sheep will squeak loud enough to make them relent. Or not. By the looks of this thread you guys wont be getting this particular value add back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Are you insane? You think they make enough money from pixels to pay for all the storage for free? Especially 4k files. I'm sorry man, you clearly have no idea what kind of costs and needed to store all those files from millions upon millions of people. Do you see apple giving storage for free? I believe you get 5gb... yippee. At least Google is still offering unlimited high quality storage for free man. And guess what? You can't even tell the damn difference between high quality and full res. The only difference is in 4k videos. Educate yourself man. Seriously. Ask yourself why should Google get crapped on for this when nobody else offers you free storage like they currently do.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
They didn't lose a cent, value add costs such as those are always built into the projected product cost exactly as if they were part of the hardware; it's how it's done. Google has been selling these things with that value add for years and knew what they were getting into when they did it each year after the first. Too be honest I don't know but I'd guess they had a VERY good idea what they were getting into the first year. Nope, this is just a grab for more profit. The way the corporate boy wonders see it if buyers don't squawk to loudly it's a win, if it gets ugly they can just open the faucet and they haven't lost anything. They were never giving the storage away for free, we paid for it when we bought their phones

As to the high quality option I didn't say anything about it and it has nothing to do with my point. Nor did I say anything about any other competing products, those however are built under the same constraints and they also don't give anything away for free either with all costs including any value adds included in the price of the product during it's design and part of their production costs.

While I've plenty to learn elsewhere it isn't I who needs to get educated on this particular point. A sad truth is that we are all the playthings of the corporate boy wonders. I'm thinking we will not agree here, but you can try.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
I think he means onboard storage.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] MrMeeseeks:

Hey did anyone try to change the phone info using root (forgot where to change it though)? Just like for the Nvidia Games apk (making Nvidia think you have a shield).
