Ah, I think you need Uninstall updates on Google services, and playstore.

Wipe google data as well for both.

With dirty installs, I expect that Google service system files are on older updates, since my build is with fairly new Google system files.

I will need to address the removal of google system updates before flashing.

You can manually remove the Google updates by using TWRP, and mounting system, then use the file browser to remove all the Google apps in the apps folder in data.

I did mention that it will take a while to boot, when dirty flashing. It will dim but after 10 to 15 minutes it will finish.

Then I recomend waiting another 10 to 15 minutes for the system to build sdcard cache and app markers. It will reboot once more but much faster.

If one a clean (system wipe) after flash the boot is normal, and will not reboot.

My new build allows system settings reset... which may come in handy some day. It clears only system settings, not apps or their settings. It takes a while to complete, but it will clean up system corruption, without need to do a factory reset wipe. I am surprised Samsung disabled that on its tablets.

yea i did clean install and it booted up in few minutes, so it was fast. Than it needed few more minutes to load up. But all in all this was a great idea of semi custom rom

I'm testing the latest version, so far so good.

You can turn up the volume of the headphones and bluetooth from build.prop?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] gooberdude:
Thanks for letting me know things are doing good with the updated version of my mods.

As for Bluetooth volume boost... not sure but I think tiny_hw.xml is what needs to be edited. I am not a dev, so that is something, I will look into... right now, I am tweaking my media configs, now that I have removed bad formatting of the config files and learning how to mix standard phone google video media config into the Google video_le, which this tablet uses.

Been testing a lot with jellyfish test clips. Found some Tweaks to make VP9, H265, and WMV playback smoother than stock. Though they are all limited by bit rate around 5MB and lower, and no greater than 1280x720 resolution.

Impressed with h264 decoder... plays level 5 100MB bit rate very well, though most vids need audio decoding, since AC3 is used on the high quality vids.

May release a final final build, with the enhanced audio/video capability, for April around easter. Done too much with this tablet with sorting out wee bugs, my mind needs a rest.

The good side is that I hardly see any issues with its reliability, now with how hard I use it. I got 12 hrs of continual use on a single charge, and that's with boost script and multiple reboots boots and loading applications, videons tests and editing files.

It took a wee bit for the battery management to kick in with reliable data, a few charges after a few days sorted out its history.

How to change the language of Svoice?

I can't find the folder

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] gooberdude:
Hi, Svoice is tied into system language, and Google TTS, as a fallback.

You can download the region files posted in the download links, and replace the US Files, with the ones in the folders, each folder corresponds to the ones in the system folder. If your language is not included in the region zip folder, you must setup google tts to install voice files for your region.

Oh, here is a link to an app to manage your blue tooth volume on various connections, not just one setting for all.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.darken.bluemusic

You may try resetting volume to verify the Bluetooth volume is properly synced to the media volume. To reset Bluetooth volume, set the headphone volume on the headset to low, lower the media volume down to 0, and disconnect Bluetooth. Do not unpaired the head set. Reconnect Bluetooth and adjust the media volume up to 3/4, then adjust your head set volume accordingly, to obtain the proper listening level.

Video decoding capabilities

After migrating Google phone MediaCodec settings into LE, and customizing default media codec settings, I have fully tested video formats listed below with dececent bit rates to correspond with very good to excellent picture quality and still be pause / jitter free.

Here are the codecs with their playback formats [MENTION=9384420]24FPS[/MENTION], and my tested bit rates (some are near max, but others have head room)

YOUTUBE WEBM (vp9) 720p [MENTION=7825661]60fps[/MENTION] works fine on browser, and included youtube-vanced. Tried higher bit rates, but as expected software decode lacks cpu power, like h265, and wmv9 decoders. The real beauty is the vpu is unrestricted to take on 1920x1080 content at high bit rates, and doing 60fps, if encoded at that frame rate.

WMV (asf) 720p wma stereo 192kbs (Windows 7 Wildlife HD Demo) minor buffering video frame blur or freeze from background processes. (I will tweak further)

HEVC (h265) 720p 4mb/s (max bit rate)

WMV (wmv9) 720p 6mb/s (can go higher)

VC1 (avi, wmv) 1080p 6mb/s

WEBM (vp8) 1080p 30mb/s

WEBM (vp9) 1080p 4.5mb/s

WMV (wmv8) 720p 6mb/s

MP4 (mp4) 1080p 30mb/s

AVC (h264 mkv) 1080p 30mb/s & 720p 60fps all tested OK also 1080p with 100mb/s decode (no audio)

3GP (h263) 325p no limit on bit rate

FLV (flv) 720p 2mbps can go higher

Note... AVC 1080p 60fps jitters and will loose audio sync above 5MB/s data rate.

Don't have any other 60fps test files to check limitations with decoders and hardware.

Seems that this is as good as it is going to get for decoding videos.

[Amazfit] crashnburnMDA:
Lot of articles mention it, but I have not seen what it looks like anywhere nor has any "weight training" person made a How To / opinion piece about it - in writing or video or Screenshots.

So, can someone please share?
[Amazfit] kabo9:
In amazfit stratos 3 you have "indoor fitness" and this activity I use to monitor weight training.

I attached what you can check in real time during workout and workout summary. If you need more info just ask ;).
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
in GTR/GTS it was renamed to "free style"
[Amazfit] lfom:
Don't expect anything special, it only tracks time and HR so it can estimate the calories burned, same as the old Elliptical mode. At least S3 lets you separate the training in groups, what can be useful if you can differentiate or name them somehow...
[Amazfit] crashnburnMDA:
Thats the problem. Does not really do anything for the MUSCLE TRAINING.
[Amazfit] kabo9:
but what do you expect from watch for the muscle training?
[Amazfit] megamongo:
ACtually, there is a lot to be expected. I expect to be able to make my own custom program which the watch will guide me trough by the press of a button. Because some time i forgot wheter or not i made 4 instead of 3 sets of any given exercise.

Basically i need it to count the number of sets per exercise i pre-programmed already. I am given example.

Lets say monday i have training consistent of chest, triceps, front delts. I want to be able to pre-program that i am going to do 2 exercise for chest each consistent of 4 sets. 2 exercises for triceps each consistent of 3 sets. 2 exercise for front shoulders - 2 sets each.

So it will look something like this

"Monday training":

CHEST

4 sets

4 sets

TRICEPS

3 sets

3 sets

FRONT DELTS

2 sets

2 sets

From there on - is just a press of a button to cut break and start next set/exercise. Just looping trough the training continuously.

Then i will know what my pulse was in specific set of specific exercise.

That would be a game changer

Then lets go a step further - what we can do is after each set is done - the app asks you to manually integrate what weight you used this set or at least how many reps were you able to make that set. Which is perfect for tracking your overload and overall progress so you can make adjustments later.

What this custom workout layout should be consistent of is only:

A) Name of the workout

B) Number (and/or name) of exercises

C) Sets per exercise 1/2/3/4... etc

D) for perfection - after you hit the "back" button, after a set, which makes you go to "rest mode" - while you are resting it will prompt you to implement your weight for the current set and number of repetitions you managed to squeeze

OPTIONALLY:

1. If you want to stay in specific heart rate zone

2. If you want your breaks between sets to be predetermined (lets say 1.5 minutes) or by the press of the button

If they provide me a platform i can code it myself. It is not hard to do - and if they already made something like this "Indoor Fitness" then this one is just upgrading on top of it
[Amazfit] kabo9:
wow, huge expectations, I don't know if any of smartwatches offer such support ;)

but for me it is too complex, I prefer rather to train than click watch and monitoring continously time ;), I take breaks usually by the feeling and can remeber all sets an reps

however I can understand your point of view

in the other hand, if now huami developers cannot make simple things I can imagine how many bugs would be in such setup :D
[Amazfit] megamongo:
It is very simple to code...

If you think that is not available in any other of the sport watches - then you probably missed to read my reply in the other thread that you replied right after me. But take a look of what i am talking about

-=GARMIN=-

Basically - this is even more complex than my expectations.

Here is another example of just part of the futures you get from Garmin

And btw - for you to say that this is to complex its like a runner saying he doesn't need all the futures like interval timing, steps per mile counter, etc... because "he just wants to run." and bassically he is not interested in other "gimmicks" the watch has to offer to actually follow his progress and make his experience more complete... as well as swimmers not benefiting from SWOLF ?

And when you have deadlift sessions like i do - which is why i refer to weight lifting not only fitness app - then you will see its pretty distracting when you rest between 6 to 10 minutes between sets and you are going after 10 sets for instance.

So when you train hardcore but not just casually then i am expecting certain futures from my "indoor fitness" or "weight lifting" apps. Basics. You cannot just put "GROUPS" because that is so unserious that you cannot believe something like FirstBeat technology is involved as a selling point for this watch.
[Amazfit] micrusa:
Cheap garmins don't support that, in forerunner 35 for example, you can create activities but you can't use them on the watch. Anyways it would be great to have that in the watch, if I have time maybe I'll try to create an app that does that
[Amazfit] crashnburnMDA:
If 8D motion detection chips are so common in all trackers, why are there not better Algorithms to be able to Muscle Training based movement tracking as they are doing for Cardio type of movements?
[Amazfit] crashnburnMDA:
Mentioned above :)
[Amazfit] megamongo:
Just tested samsung galaxy activity watch or whatever ...The thing has dedicated deadlift, biceps curls, pulldowns, bench press, and few more i couldn't test - but those were working exceptionally well... it was auto-counting reps, deadlift was not starting untill i get my hands down to my chin. How did they do that and watch is not even sport-dedicated ? It even had HAMSTRING CURLS, but i didn't dare testing else i was going to throw the S3 from the window
[Amazfit] crashnburnMDA:
Better use of software / app to track its motion sensors. Not rocket science id think

Hi guys,

New account so i cannot post this one in ROM thread.

Because mido was discontinued in LOS15-16, I decided to build the ROM myself following the tutorials on lineageOS wikis.

Even the official ROM has resumed work, i still continue (just in case :p) to maintain my own unofficial ROM.

Everythign works, even goodix (it's Pie version, not Q) and i have setup OTA updates to make it easier for a daily use to everybody.

Last ROM is from today , december 2d 2019.

LINK : After some posts (new account)i will be able to post the link but for now just search for Pie4mido on sourceforge.

I will update at least 1x per month for the security updates, more if I can (these days 3-4 times per week).

Enjoy !

Hello all,

I live in the sacramento area, and this mornig, I discoverd my phone wouldent charge, got a yellow charging light and the phone says charging, but it just discharges, which batterystaus confirms :-( I would love to flash the stock rom back, but i need a battery with a 50% or greater charge on it. So i went down to the local att store and bought my self a stock battery, yay right? Not so..... This new battery has only a 43% charge and the loader wont work :-( So i am asking if anyone here who lives in the sacramento area, or close, would be willing to trade me my 43% charged battery that i just bought today, for one that has a charge on it. Any takers? :D

EDIT: I fixed my problem and warrenty exchanged my tilt just now. MODS FEEL FREE TO DELETE! Thank you!

[APP] Ring Master - vibrate first, gradually ring for phone calls, WhatsApp & more

Play Store Link

About a month back I happened to read this article on XDA about Pixel's new feature that makes the phone vibrate first and then ring gradually. I have seen this gradual ring on some phones but never with "vibrate first". In about 3 weeks I managed to come up with Ring Master that will bring this feature to all other Android devices, with option to customise vibrate duration, ringer duration and volume percentage as well.

I was about to release it when I wondered if I could extend it to other voice calling apps as well besides regular phone. Unlike phone calls, Android OS doesn't provide any API for a developer to detect when an incoming call comes on a messenger app like WhatsApp or Duo. I had to find a workaround for this and I am happy to say I have a nearly perfect working system now. This means perhaps for the first time you can now have gradually increasing ringtone for your WhatsApp and other voice calls as well. You can select which all apps you want to enable it and Ring Master will ignore if a call comes in any other app.

One concern about these ringer apps is how it will behave when your phone is in silent mode. Rest assured, if your phone is in Silent/Vibrate or Do Not Disturb mode, Ring Master won't do anything at all. Similarly, it only changes your ringer volume when it has to. Your media, notification, alarm volumes are left untouched.

The app as such is free if you use it in its default configuration. You can even test the settings before applying. But in order to apply the changed settings, you need to upgrade to Pro version that costs just $0.99.

Please test out the app and let me know your thoughts. As always, in case you encounter any issue, please write to support@apptuners.com before leaving a review on Play Store.

[Android Apps and Games] Pepetor:
Hi!

It's a great idea to implement this app.

I want to test it some days, in order to try it and check it if I get use to it, but as I only have the default options, the max volume it gets is 30% (to low for me) and I can't use it, because I could miss phone calls.

There is a chance to change the max volume in order to try the app? If not, don't worry. And seriously, good app.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Apptuners:
In the Settings screen you can click the Test button to see if vibration and ringer works to your needs. But yes, you cannot apply the setting in free version.

I would request you to upgrade to full version and try it out with actual phone call. And no need to worry about refund window. Any time you feel like the app isn't satisfactory, please feel free to write to support@apptuners.com with your order number. I will issue a full refund.

Hi,

I just noticed something on WhatsApp. When I play a video on YouTube (I use dark mode on YouTube). And than click on a WhatsApp notification to go to the chat my WhastApp is appearing in dark mode without turning it on. When I go back to all the chats and go back to the chat I was on it dissappear.

So is WhatsApp testing dark mode without knowing? I'm a WhatsApp beta tester and no I don't have any toggle to turn it on or off.

Hi,

I have a G955F which is running a Australia android 9.0 rom, I need to flash to G955FD for work but there is no rom for this phone for Australia? so I was going to flash a UK rom onto it will this still work? also I couldn only find a update for the G955FD not the complete rom can anyone link me the files I need please.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
The F and FD are the same firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] liveordie:
Hi Mate, that what I've been reading if that's the case how are people flashing F firmware onto the FD and losing there dual sim support? and how can I flash the FD firmware onto a F.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
Flashing stock firmware requires Odin ( PC app ).

As for errors flashing firmware it's a bit hard to say, have to take it case by case, but in general terms it's usually user error. In general flashing stock firmware shouldn't touch the protected area which holds the IMEI information.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] liveordie:
Oh I see, is there a way I can turn my G955F into a dual sim? I've seen this done on the G955N, from hardware the G955F is the same as the FD and its only the firmware stopping it from working, I get a signal when a sim is in the 2nd slot but because the phone only have 1 IMEI it doesn't work, the FD has a sim manager which is on the F but not usable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
I have only very briefly looked at converting single sim to dual sim but haven't really gone into it so I probably won't be of much help. Biggest problem will be injecting a second IMEI slot to you phone to accept the second sim card. The firmware is the same but requires the second IMEI slot to get dual sim capabilities.

Hi guys,

I've got this phone quite recently, and got this problem right away.

When I plug in my earphones with microphone included I'd say that 80% of the time, people can't hear my voice. They do hear a high-pitch sound, going over my voice. This happens on call, while recording audio, on what's app...

So my guess is that's a jack-connection issue. I don't have another pair of earphones or external mic to try with at that time. But I was wondering if this was a common trouble? Should I look into getting other earbuds or look into fixing the phone?

Thank you,

FOR ALL YOU DEVELOPERS OUT THERE:

Is it possible to make the task manager for the touch or similar phone look like this? Like creating a program which utilizes a SCREENCAPTURE app?

I mean, it doesn't need to be FULL screen, but when you hit the task manager in the top right corner, a large drop down menu with lil pics of your open apps to appear.... is this POSSIBLE?
