[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] P0ll0L0c0:
I and other forum members had recently completed benchmarks comparing the Diamond against the 3 year old 6700 by playing unoptimized video downloaded directly from online. The results were really disappointing.

My 6700 played the video at 130% speed when overclocked at 624 mhz. Standard at 416 mhz - the video played at 115% speed. The HTC Diamond played the same video at 80% speed - about the same as an HTC Touch I'd recently benchmarked.

My 6700 is running WM6, and both machines were using TCPMP. The thread is titled "MPG and AVI" - I'll bump it for the sake of this thread. The URL is the following:

Looking for apps that solve these problems:

Basic tablet info app - cpu and information - - CPUZ

Cleaning app - - SD Maid, Google Files

Good mp3 music player app - - Pulsar HD, but I don't know if it skips

Good podcast app - - Podcast Addict

Good browser - - Firefox Beta (you can sync to your desktop), Puffin, Chrome Beta. Sometimes Chrome just works best.

Adblocker - I use specific adblocker plug-ins or apps for browser was appropriate

App to let me play videos on a screen - - VLC Player

Video player - - VLC Player, MX Player Pro

YouTube? - - YouTube App

Notes - app to write notes that automatically saves (Samsung notes does not do this)

Email app for my AOL account - Outlook, Nine, Gmail, Samsung Mail - all can be set up for multiple email accounts

Dropbox - is the app worth it or should I just use it in a browser? - - Use Solid Explorer or other file browser and link to your cloud storage

E-reader - - I think Moon+ Reader is better than FBReader, but I use both; Color Dict + downloaded stardict dictionaries

Microsoft Office but needs 360 account, Google's versions will work for free

White Noise Pro

Walmart (pharmacy), Amazon for Tablets,

Pandora

Need Cable Account, but Fox Sports Go (regional sports channels), ESPN Go, other networks

Online Banking - depends on you bank

TVGUIDE app

Local Cinema App

MLB At Bat, NFL App

CamScanner

Flud

Printhand or Printershare

Malwarebytes, Bitdefender Antivirus Free

SwiftKey keyboard

Office Calculator Pro

Microsoft Remote Desktop

Etc etc etc

Adding a couple more...

AccuWeather

Nova Loader

HereWeGo offline maps (can locally store the whole USA)

Google Maps (can only store specific maps locally)

Uber

Skype

F-Stop gallery gives a browseable file tree

Your preferred airline(s) for boarding pssses

With a Tab S4 you can have many hundreds of apps, the key is to use a good loader and organize. I have 5 pages of apps. Homepage has the apps I use most, readers, dictionary, cloud storage, app stores, music players, pod cast, gallery apps, etc. Then I have a page with personal accounts, online & brick & mortar shopping, travel. Page three has sports, streaming video and audio, local video. Page 4 has all games. Page 5 has utilities, cameras, optimizers, etc. Within the pages you organize the icons into groups. I find 5 pages to be manageable. Like having multiple desktop monitors on a PC....

Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?) - Settings->Device Care->Storage

Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - AIMP

Good podcast app - I don't do podcasts

Good browser - Samsung Browser from Play store so far is the best for me even under LineageOS, has Adblock, contrast theme (black background to save AMOLED and battery)

Adblocker - see browser

Firewall - root needed, u can configure your router for anything, inlcuding adblocking

App to let me play videos on a screen - MX Player, any app which allows Casting

Essential magisk modules - root needed, I don't see much benefit given no custom ROMs

Busybox? - latest, free

Xprivacy - N/A

YouTube? - Youtube Vanced on xda

Notes - should be tonns of those in Playstore

Grocery list app - again

dark mode for Oreo - get Pie upgrade and use night mode

Video player - MX Player

Email app for my AOL account - comes with Email app in OS

Apps I've heard about but never tried:

Any suggestions for getting them or not?

Tasker - say, regular nightly reboots

Substraum - themes, but the choice of thems, and permissions they ask is ridiculous

MS 365 for Android use SmartOffice for doc,xls, ppt

Dropbox - app should be worth it if u use Dropbox, I don't share my files with some random cloud provider.

Something cool Waze for navigation

My list of apps I utilize frequently

Dolphin browser - worst browser, use Samsung

SwiftKey - nothing wrong with stock keyboard

Tweetings for Twitter - I use browser for all my social media, apps do unusual bad things.

Zarchiver - I can't live without it - it is OK

NextRadio - OS comes with Radio client

Diskuasge - Setting->DeviceCare

So MX Player vs VLC player:

I like MX Player's ability to zoom video using screen gestures. But I've had limited success casting to a Chromecast. It only got the feature a shirt time ago, and virtually everything I try to cast doesn't work with chromecast. I've never had issues casting local files with VLC Player.

You don't need root to flash a custom rom. You just need a custom recovery like twrp.

If you correctly have TWRP installed,then no.no need

If not yes

Be sure that you untick auto reboot at Odin

If you don't do that TWRP won't install

When install TWRP install magisk.zip

That's all

[General Questions and Answers] lalejand:
Hi,

I have a Fairphone 2 with the default ROM Fairphone Open 19.08.1.

I am trying to install microG. I red that a good way to get microG working is to install it with nanodroid. And I red also that a good way to install nanodroid is to flash it from TWRP.

So i installed TWRP with the TWRP official installer.

I can boot without any problem on TWRP (btw, I downloaded and installed two times 3.3.1-0, but in TWRP it shows 3.1.1-0).

I downloaded NanoDroid-microG-22.4.20190811.zip and NanoDroid-patcher-22.4.20190811.zip the nanodroid download page.

But when I try to flash those two zips I get an error in red that says: "zip verification failed!" even if the option "zip signature verification" is disabled.

What can I do to be able to flash those zips?

Thx :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I think you would have better luck getting microG to work if you installed lineageOS for FP2.
[General Questions and Answers] lalejand:
Yes, maybe. I will have a look at it, but first I would like to try width FP OS. I have plenty of things configured on my phone and I would like not to have to configure again everything with another OS.

Isn't it strange that TWRP tries to perform a zip verification even if the zip verification is not activated?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is FP OS and there is FP Open, which are you using?

And no, it isn't unusual. Sometimes the error is because what you are trying to flash is not compatible, it's a safety measure to prevent flashing something that can harm your device.
[General Questions and Answers] lalejand:
I am using Fairphone Open 19.08.1
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Everything I'm finding for FP2 TWRP zip signature verification failure applies to LineageOS, I'm not finding anything whatsoever about FP2 Open that applies to TWRP and microG signature failure. This is what leads me to believe that what you are trying to do is not compatible with FP Open and that lineageOS is what you need to be using in order to use what you are trying to use.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I think starting your search in the link below would be a good start for finding info on FP and installing mods.

[General Questions and Answers] lalejand:

Yeah, that should have been the first thing i suggested. You would be surprised what kinds of issues that updating TWRP will fix.

Has anyone got the GPS to work on a verizon vogue? I am running OMJs oem verizon rom with gps and rev a enabled. (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=25335) i have turned location on and still can not got a pretty blue dot in google maps. i have searched all over multiple forums and found nothing. for many people with sprint they run ppst.exe and all is well but i have read this can brick the phone for verizon users. so does anyone know how to get it to work?

You could try GPSToday and activate the GPS with that. That's what I use, works great! :)

GPS on Verizon Vogue

I use the gps with the same rom you are using and it works great. I generall use Livesearch for my gps app, and before I launch it I will always open GPSViewer and let it sit on my dash of my car for 5 minutes tops before I get on the road. Once GPSViewer locks onto a few sats, I am good to go.
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
Exact ROM I'm using and it works great!! I was suprised how well LiveSearch was with directions, it would automatically re-route if you went off course, it was sweet!!!

Anyhow, it took me about 3 days to finally get a lock on to the sats. Main reason was I tried from indoors, but I was near the window on a clear sky. Then sure enough, I walked outside, stood in my office parking lot and picked up 6 sats!!

If you haven't already try outside, and be patient!! I believe once you get the initial feed from the sats, you'll be good from then on out. There was a reg change that may help.

HKLM>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS>GPS Mode

Try changing from 2 to either 1 or 4, some had better luck that way.

[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
+1 on this fix! It used to take at least 5 minutes outside on a clear day to get a signal, at first, then about a min after that. With this fix, I got a lock in about 7 seconds inside my office! Not to mention, that sitting in my house, downtown, picks up in about 15 seconds! It worked so well, my GPS picked up that I moved from my dining room to my kitchen, all of 10 feet!

help me

ok i've spent months trying to understand how to get gps on my completly stock verizon vogue but it is way over my head. i'm to afraid to try knowing i really don't understand. somebody give me a starting point or better yet if anyone is in the salem, oregon usa vicinity i would be happy to pay for a little one on one tutorial.
[Touch CDMA General] denasqu:
Until Verizon releases a GPS enable ROM update you cannot enable GPS on your stock Verizon Touch. But you can enable GPS by upgrading with a Sprint, Altell, or Bell ROM. Here is a tutorial that's a little dated but it's a good place to start.

Basically you have to upgrade the radio with a Sprint, Altell, or Bell ROM to get GPS. Then you have to flash a ROM that will work on your Verizon Touch. There are a bunch of them available. Of course, once you start there is no going back because there is no stock Verizon ROM available.
[Touch CDMA General] rndlopez16:
TY for your response and i have read the tutorial but again struck fear in my peanut sized brain. I called Verizon support and did get one of the rep's to admit that they are working on a new "GPS enabled Official ROM" and are expecting it to be released before the end of the year. Think I will wait till its out.
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
When a company like VZW gives you a release date, don't believe it! They were due to release the Blackberry Storm, the first touch screen blackberry, and for reasons I forget, decided to hold it for an extra three months!

I figured this much before I first flashed, there are tons of users changing their ROM, I've changed mine probably 15 times in the past two months. Not to mention, once you use the AGPS hack, you'll pickup a sat lock in seconds, even while inside. I couldn't wait any longer, VZW is far too slow and behind other carriers.
[Touch CDMA General] imdarkside:
gps

I doubt vzw will give us our gps on our stock rom. they want to sell their gps subscription. they will only provide it on a future phone when everyone has it as a stock function. ie the massess

gps is not that important for me so i am sticking with stock rom for now. their are rom(s) with instructions for releasing your gps but you will have to unlock your phone. it sounds easy but from what i read you have to take care to follow instructions. read here and on ppcgeeks search for vx6900 gps and you will get what you need.
[Touch CDMA General] denasqu:
;) Me too. And I fix computers for a living! The available tutorials had me terrified that I was going to have to buy a new Touch at full price OR get arrested by the Verizon secret police. :eek:

The prudent thing to do is to wait for Verizon to release any ROM update even without GPS. Then you have a safe fallback if you wreck your phone with custom upgrades.

Personally though I couldn't wait, and I'm glad I didn't wait because now I'm really enjoying the full use of my Touch as it was designed... fast Internet, GPS maps, and better call quality.

Despite the terror-inspiring tutorials the only really dicey part of the process is upgrading the radio to another carrier (Sprint, Alltel, or Bell). Unlocking the phone (which is only done once) and flashing custom ROMS (which you'll probably do lots of times) is child's play. Focus on the process of upgrading the radio until you're comfortable with it and you'll be fine.
[Touch CDMA General] rndlopez16:
Ok so where do i start, unlock, flash, or upgrade radio...still not sure about this, i can't afford to be without a phone with my work. would still prefer someone in my area to show me in person and still willing to pay...

Try my rom. I have VZW and GPS works. I just released v3 and GPS works really fast without the AGPS fix . Im not sure if its the new build or what. Here's a link to my thread. CRiSTAL ROM v3
[Touch CDMA General] penorwood:
No GPS

I'm not sure what I have done wrong ... I have the 3.42 radio and installed the OMJ Rom (even tried the one from Crystal) but still no GPS. I had previously flashed the unofficial VZW ROM and with the GPS adapter found on another post the GPS worked beautifully.

I've tried standing outside to see if that is the problem but am still lost.

Any ideas?

[Touch CDMA General] penorwood:
I installed the OMJ rom, flashed the radio to 3.42 and even ran the VZW aGPS fix. I ran GPS viewer for nearly 20 minutes (indoors and out) with no lock. what could I have possibly done wrong?
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
IT! You're doing IT wrong!

Really, I don't know.

Did you really flash OMJ's ROM before the Radio?
[Touch CDMA General] penorwood:
i flashed the unofficial rom first then ran the coke unlocker and flashed the manilla 2d rom then flashed the bell rom to get the latest radio and then the omj rom.
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................

Yeah, that's all wrong, I'm surprised you can even turn your phone on!
[Touch CDMA General] penorwood:
I was just trying a few different roms. Had no problems at all other rhan the gps. Any ideas? Other than telling me it is wrong?
[Touch CDMA General] jdaghir:
I still have a stock XV9600 but from what I have read on ppcgeeks and ppchaven I believe the radio update in the unofficial VZW rom enables the GPS but then the VZW customizations in the ROM lock it out from everything except Verizon's VZnav service. I think you have two options:

If you want to use something other than the unofficial VZW rom you will have to downgrade the radio and then upgrade again. More info here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43741&page=10

If you want to use the unofficial VZW rom then you have to reinstall it and then use the Valhalla Legends GPS Server to allow third-party apps access to the GPS. More Info here:

Thanks. I have restored everything to the unofficial VZW with 3.37 radio and gps fix. If I still wnat to upgrade to the OMJ (or another rom) do I need to upgrade the radio again to 3.42? I don't want to get things out of order ...
