[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] STEELBAS:
It doesn't work for reading pdf's, but Perfect Viewer is perfect for reading zip or rar files filled with jpgs (or cbz/cbx files, of course). All the better if these are black and white, like manga! Turn on landscape mode for the best experience, and I recommend setting up the touch spaces like in the attached image.

Thing is, setting up the touch spaces is no easy feat, as the dialogue to select a different function is white text on a white background. I attached a backup of my settings file to get my screen setup (1-04-16.xml). Place this on your sd card /PerfectViewer/Preferences, then in the app go to Preferences management and load up the file.

I'm not sure if the attached version of the apk is the latest one to still work with the NST's Android version, but this one works fine. Be sure to turn on "Auto detect page border" for optimal use of the NST's screen real estate.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Yep, that's the last version that works on the NST. Back in the day I used it for comics as well and found it the best for my purposes. And as you say, the PDF plugin for that version crashes.

The menu issue is a common one with many apps not designed for e-ink screens. Colors that developers have used are mostly defaulted to either black or white (sometimes you get lucky with a grey of some kind). Someone on one of the Russian forums where the NST is popular developed an alternate set of background images for the framework-res.apk. When these are substituted for the stock images the background of all menus (including B&N menus) are either slightly or more than a little darkened so that even white text will show up against them. At one time I used the slightly darkened images as I seemed to have a lot of apps that I could not read settings for. Over the years and as my use and configuration of my NSTs evolved there seemed to be fewer of these and so finally I just left the default backgrounds when I updated to FW 1.2.2

Of course, you can always install the app that you can't see menus for on another (non-e-ink) device and use that as a guide until you get things set up the way you like.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] STEELBAS:
Right! I think that's how I went about it with these settings, too. I don't remember, it's been four years [emoji28]

I recently got into manga a little, again, so I dusted off this app and decided to share it here.

Maybe is the tablet or something in this site that makes things erratic??? Don't know but searching the site is problematic both in mobile/desktop modes.

But now to the point. I had a good file manager until recently it blocked certain useful functions maybe after an update so rendering itself almost useless (not analyzing storage usage or getting into certain areas for manual deletion of junk files etc.).

This's a 5th generation tablet. Thanks in advanced!

Edit: Where you read 5th above I had 4th, which was incorrect.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SkOrPn:
It seems like everything is for the Exynos version of this phone. Just got my Note 8 today for a steal practically new for only $100, but the software bloat seems horrible. Just curious if there is any Lineage or Samsung based ROM's that would be a good starting place? All the late reviews in 2019 and here in 2020 says to install an aftermarket ROM on it and you got yourself a great device. Phone details below.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 N950USQS7DTA5 on Sprint in New Mexico USA.

The Sprint store did the factory reset for us, but given that I know my way around these devices I thought I would do my own Factory reset and start from scratch. My last Galaxy phone was the original, so I am sure things have changed since then and wanted to double check with XDA before making any mistakes. Phone currently sits 100% stock.

Any advice on a debloated ROM at the least? Or something else would be great too. Google just sends me here and all I seem to see is N950F devices, but I plan to keep on researching before I flash anything on this device, lol. EDIT: Just saw the US carriers Pie thread too for this device, and that seems to offer a pre-debloated rom.

EDIT: My guess is that there isn't much you can do with this device in the way of custom roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Your guess would be correct. The phone is bootloader locked that means no roms like N950F version..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SkOrPn:
Thank you for the information. Yeah I figured that was the case. Oh well, at least there is a debloated Pie rom. Maybe I can do a somewhat decent job of customizing it. But yeah I was hoping for 3rd party kernels and or LineageOS love. At least it's a better phone than the Motorola G6 that it is replacing, lol. Thanks again...

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sniper-joe:
I decided to upgrade my S9+ to a S20 ultra. Although I didn't want to lose the 3.5mm jack, the notification LED, the heart rate sensor, but I thought it was worth losing all this even though it's more expensive than my S9+, because I assumed I would get the Buds+

But it turns out that I was wrong, The company I pre-ordered my phone from are not part of the scheme. So now I have a phone slightly better than my old phone, but that none of my headphones work with.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has had their claim unfairly rejected?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] droiddv:
I agree its not bad, but not so much better that its worth 1400. First of all I like my s20 Ultra. But it sure doesn't seem that much better than my previous Pixel 3 XL. Its heavier and I don't like having 2 of everything. I prefer Google Apps, Phone, Messenger, Photos, camera Etc. I'm trying the Camera app from Samsung for awhile but may just end up using the Google Camera App. I'm not super impressed, not miserable either. I've never owned a Galaxy phone. So I just gotta get used to new apps and redirect stuff like contacts, and photos. Can't wait to get the update for 120hz and 1440 simultaneously. Finally its nice the entire screen is usable. though. No bezels. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sniper-joe:
I bought the phone from A1 comms which IS listed as an approved reseller, but the have rejected my claim saying " Please send us images confirming that this retailer was advertising this promotion and we can review your claim again."

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sniper-joe:
You can disable all the samsumg apps and use the google ones if you want. If you Root it you can completely remove them. I've heard that the 120hz is a massive battery drain so I don't think I'll ever enable that. It's a shame, I really loved my S7 and S9, but with this phone I'm wishing I went for the LG of Sony.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] innit:
Ok. Is it an UK based reseller? I'm in Germany and didn't have any problems. Anyway I've just went through the Terms & Conditions of the promotion on Samsung UK website and your retailer isn't listed as a participant. Maybe that's the reason your claim was rejected.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] droiddv:
I've pretty much did everything but root. Disabled what I could removed what I could. I heard some of the apps are embedded into the build and cannot be removed even through root. If I hadn't gotten a free s20 plus for my wife I wouldn't of gotten the ultra. I would of went with the flip Z.

its still a great phone, its just heavier and not much of an improvement. I do use the 120hz though. And my battery last most of the day. Charging is on par with the Pixel 3 XL. No sense in buying the $50. super charger 45w. only charges fast when the phone is really low battery life. It slows down to 25w charging after 25% I think. I havn't dove in depth with the camera software, but I plan on it. 100 zoom is worthless, pictures come out like ****. The 30x is the sweet spot and pinch and zoom. Quality is night and day different. But hey I'm just whining. The phone is great, just not the best on the planet like I expected from an ULTRA name. :D

There is an amazing windows phone coming out really soon, I heard that is going to be something to look at. Well in 2 years for me. LOL

So I suppose this is noone's phone. I've made a Factory reset so I can use it, but the phone still ask me to register with a gmail adress who has already been synchronized with the phone.

How can I pass through this and use the phone normally ?

Hi I have a big problem with my Redmi k20 Pro (Snapdragon 855 version).

I decided to unlock it because I want install TWRP, magisc, etc.

1) I successfully unlocked with Xiaomi Unlock tool.

2) When I was installing twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix (using XiaoMiFlash) everything go ok till last communique. "Press power+vol_up" or something like this I tried to do this but phone was black and didn't react on anything.

2.1) Flash log in reply

3) Now when I'm connecting phone to laptop I hear sound and see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

4) Log when I tried install ROM

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Catsonvi:
In the first post you said you flashed the davinci TWRP, and there's the **** up. Davinci is the codename for the regular K20/9T, while Raphael is the codename for the Pro variant. In other words you flashed the recovery image for a completely (internally at least) different phone.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Te$la:
You flashed recovery of K20 on your K20 pro, thats why you are stuck.

Download fastboot firmware from here:

https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2

If your device is Indian, get the Redmi K20 pro latest Indian stable or if its from other region select the Mi 9T pro according to ur region.

Unzip it, select clean all in Miflash tool and then hit flash.

If this fails try this:

https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/how-to/xiaomi-mi9t-k20-hard-brick-recover-t4037591

If this also fails and u have warranty, go to service center and tell you tried to update and phone wont boot. Avoid mentioning anything related to unlock/flashing etc.

If u dont have warranty, open up the back of your phone, disconnect the battery connector, find and short the EDL test points, while shorting the points insert the usb cable, it will get detected in pc, then remove the short and then try to flash using the tool i mentioned above. After flash is complete connect the battery, put everything back and try to turn on.

Good luck.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Going off the second and third posts, it looks like he successfully flashed MIUI again.

The bootloader was not locked, so easy to flash with Mi Flash Tool. I guess the first attempt the phone wasn't in fastboot mode.

As for the above post, you cannot EDL flash a phone with a locked bootloader without an authorised account, so it's useless trying.

In this case the bootloader was unlocked, so no need to EDL flash.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Majke123PL:
I have warranty. I bought it on gearbest. It's global version "raphael_global_images_V11.0.3.0.QFKMIXM_20200212.0000.00_10.0_global" i tried to install this but i get message " cannot recive hello packet MiFlash is trying to reset status". Now i will try second option and i will write what i do

EDIT

I tried second method and in setting> devices> Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. <- it shows when I connect my phone.

But TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE shows "No device detected, please connect a device"
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Te$la:
This is a tricky situation. Once i hardbricked my Redmi note 4 by erasing all the partitions. Phone was totally dead, It however detected as qdloader 9008 but flashtool said cannot receive hello packet. So i had to open the phone, disconnect battery and short pins to force it to edl (detected as qdloader 9008 as well) and then flash. After flash reconnect battery and it booted fine.

What i learnt was normal qdloader 9008 mode worked somehow differently than the one u get by disconnecting the battery and shorting the edl pins.

I maybe wrong but thats how it worked for me.

If u can take the risk try to flash that way or go for the warranty. Opening ur phone will void warranty so be careful.

And before proceeding, I'm warning, u will void ur warranty. Also check if u have the tools to open the phone. Go and check some youtube videos about how to disassemble Redmi k20 pro and then reply.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Te$la:
Try that all in one tool, it doesnt require authorised mi account. Or u can use QFIL tool to flash, no auth required. Else there is one russian guy who has authorised mi account. He charges some money. Search in this forum.

This is how u do the test point method:

1. Open the back of phone.

2. Disconnect the battery flex cable from motherboard.

3. Short and hold the two test points shown in pic with a piece of metal or tweezers.

3a. While shorting, insert the usb cable. Hold until phone is detected as qdloader 9008 in device manager.

If it doesn't show up in D.Manager, remove usb and try again.

4. Once detected in pc, remove the short and try to flash via MiFlash or that all-in-one tool or QFIL tool.

5. After flash complete, connect battery flex. Press power button to turn on.

Most of time miflash tool flash in edl without any problems. in your case u have error with recieving hello packet - usually helps; Reinstall miflash tool(delete and download latest one) run miflash tool with administration, changing usb port (usb 2.0 recommend) on your pc or laptop, also try with different usb cable,press and hold 20 sec power button on your phone - try to flash. and if that doesn't help then wait till your battery discharge and this will resolve problem with not recieving hello packet for sure,and u will be ready for flash.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] :
the auth is required by device than Mi flash required by phone prompts to login to Authorized account. There's no way to bypass it. It got really secure over time. But it's pain.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Te$la:
After a lot of reading I found that edl flashing is no more a simple process that used to be for older xiaomi devices. They now just don't allow everyone to flash via edl (locked or unlocked BL).

In this situation ur only option is to find someone with a Authorised Mi account and flash ur device.

There are some newer devices which have modified firehose file which bypasses the auth login but sadly for K20 pro, there isn't any right now.
