Hey all..its me again with a new App..Initflashfile Editor+Builder..Every thing is coded in C#

There are two Purposes of this Program :

1. To Build an initflashfile

2. To Hex Edit the Initflashfile and Remove the two extra bytes added by Notepad

Installation :

After you download the Program..there will be a Setup Utility..run it and make sure You DONT CHANGE THE DEFAULT INSTALLATION LOCATION as my Program will look for the files in C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\

a Shortcut will be created on your desktop

Requirments :

To speed up the app and use less resources i used .Net Framework 3.5

so you all will be needing .Net Framework 3.5 ( many computer have it now adays )

Instructions :

Once you fire up initflashfile editor+builder from the Desktop..you will see a windows with four Images on the right hand side..they have been labled..

Press the build button and my own initflashfile builder will start ..open a new document and when saving it save it to C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\ by the name of initflashfiles..now exit the Builder and Press the Edit Button..my script will run and it will remove the two bytes

MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE INITFLASHFILE IN THE

because the script will look for it there only

and Please read the Help file before Doing any thing

Screenshots :

great!!! let´s talk via msn... making a good job there! keep on!!

haven´t tried it yet. BUT my dream is to have an initflash generator...where i can drag and drop all files from a not complete made OEM pack from packacreator

and then the generator automaticly creates links to ALL files i drope??

maybe this is doing it...i will test

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Shadow128:
Hi there,

In my Android car head unit I'm using Tasker for automatic starting poweramp after booting, which works quite good but only for poweramp.

Now I'm using also sometimes other media apps like DAB-Z and I'm searching a solution for identifiying the last playing media app.

If the media app is paused the variable should be kept to the last playing app so at least the stored variable should only change, if another media app is playing.

In my case it's "only" DAB-Z and Poweramp.

Anyone knows a solution for this?

Thanks :)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Why not just create two profiles, one for each app launched and update the same variable.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Shadow128:
That would also be a good option :)

But how can I set a variable after opening an app?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Create a profile with the app as a context then set a variable in the task.

This is a very basic configuration. If you're still unsure, it will benefit you to review some tutorials targeted to beginners. There are many videos and written tutorials for tasker, both here on xda and on the internet in general.

I followed this guide

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79383551&postcount=18

It actually does work after bricking the device i was able to restore it by flashing the internals of the update.app. Im able to flash ANYTHING which you can with an unlocked bootloader, after you reset you lose the temp unlock obviously. Im wondering what can i actually do with being able to do this?, Because it relocks after a reboot is it useless? I have tried to root but i imagine the recovery_ramdisk file restores itself to its original state after reboot?

Any help or tips would be nice, thank you!.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
No I'd say it's not useless. Will check it out..

If you can get TWRP can you flash anything? Custom ROM? Try AOSIP, can you flash magisk?

Try some things, what's possible?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] frankieuk:
Sadly nothing so far!, TWRP will install but won't show up after the reboot, maybe because the bootloader locks back?. I was able to unbrick the device and downgrade and upgrade etc, thats about it :(

So after Trying different PIE GSIs, I Found a less buggy GSI rom. It's "RR-P-v7.0.3-20191112-A64-A.img" that i found on [MENTION=7166349]turbolukex5[/MENTION] thread on this link. https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...iscussion/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis-t4003457

basically i tested camera, BT,in call audio, Fingerprint and Mobile Hotspot. So far they work pretty nice. The only thing that doesn't work as of now is the MTP. So you need to reboot to TWRP to transfer files on storage.

If this thread is prohibited, kindly remove it. I just want to share what i found today. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] henok.gk:
You can use kraken kernel for fixing MTP.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Curcepogi:
Thanks. I will try and report here later. As of now the only bug i got is the Camera when using flash. The shutter is not synced with the flash. You will get a dark photo when taking at night.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] henok.gk:
That's basically a bug which is present in almost every GSI. Use footej/open camera from play store instead. Those will also give you back some of the manual controls if you are into that sorta thing.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Curcepogi:
I already tried the kernel. I got a working MTP after reboot(bare bones, no GApps). But when i install GApps(Aroma) the rom is very sluggish and FP was broken during setup. So i did not finish the setup and i quickly reverted to stock. ?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] elokuba:

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] henok.gk:
Not sure but the guy who compiled that kernel said not to use magisk it breaks too many stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Curcepogi:
I did not used magisk on setup. This are my steps:

-Flashed GSI

-Flashed Kraken kernel

-rebooted and did factory reset

-Resized the system to flash GApps.

-flashed GApps aroma.

And the phone is already sluggish. Any thoughts bro?

[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Cudde:
So my SOT is a low lower than everything I have been reading on the forums. Just tested and had a SOT of about 3.5H (100 - 30%), with no heavy use, no eco mode and 90HZ. (mostly just spotify, whatsapp and Instagram).

Furthermore, when looking at the battery statistics for for instance yesterday, firefox has used 42,61% of my battery. However, this is calculated in the analyses to 601mAH of battery. 601 is obviously not 42% of the 4000maH battery the phone should have, leading me to think there is something wrong with my battery.\

What do you guys think? Send it in for repair?

not this time though. and now i cant figure out how to actually install it. every file that i pick from the garmin files on the memory card doesnt actually install it properly. it doesnt show up in the programs screen, nore does it even come up in the manage programs screen. it works, but i have to use file explorer to actually launch the exe. its not really installed!

Hi,

I'm hoping someone has figured this out as its driving me crazy !

I've followed the instructions to put the google apks on via the

android police

website,

install play store amazon fire tablet

article (can't link to it as it's my first post !)

Everything initially seems to be ok, signed into google and can access and download apps from the Play store.

When I download the Google Play Games app it runs ok but switching to the Profile tab doesn't show me any profile information and all I get is the busy icon spinning constantly.

Does anyone know how to solve this ? I think this has a knock-on effect of games not working that require a google games profile.

This is on a brand new 2019 Amazon Fire HD 10.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] michaelwdale:
Good morning all, I desperately need some help.

I dropped my Huawei Mate 10 Pro face-flat on the floor, and on first inspection it didn't seem as if it had any damage to it whatsoever. A little later when I had put it to charge I noticed hairline cracks on the left side of the screen and what seemed to be some kind of leakage from the screen. Overnight it has leaked so much that 90% of the screen is blue (looks like biro ink running), and now the whole screen is covered. Unfortunately I didn't rescue all my apps, documents and images, including those in the Safe, before the screen was completely covered.

My question is simply can I connect my phone to a laptop without having to accept stuff on the screen?

Many thanks :)

Maybe via HiSuite if you have used it before. Or connect the phone to some external display or TV via type C adapter/dock.
