[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ouzo:
Thanks Slow23, this is fantastic! At last I have got back some of the functionality of my little ELF without getting rid of Touch Flo3D : )

In order to tailor things to my exact requirements, I've changed a couple of registry entries to allow me to create a new MMS instead of Web Search, and to toggle bluetooth on and off (using BTOnOff.exe, available at www.freewarepocketpc.net) instead of web favourites, but I'm having difficulty changing the BackGroundEnglish PSD containted in the Raphael ZIP on page one. I've managed to change the text below each icon, but editing the icons themselves is way beyond me (LOL!). Also, I haven't got a clue how to save my edited PSD file as a .brn. Could anyone help Mr Stupid here?

Just in case anyone else wants to edit their registry settings in a similar way, for MMS, under HKEY\LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_6, I changed "Param" to "-new" and "Path" to "\windows\tmail.exe" (no quotations). For Bluetooth toggling I placed BTOnOff.exe in Program Files\ActionScreen and then under HKEY\LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_7 I removed the text under "Param" and changed "path" to \Program Files\Actionscreen\BTOnOff.exe

You need to reboot for the changes to take effect. With regard to new MMS functionality, this doesn't take you straight into a new MMS, but it does take you to an account selection page where MMS is listed. Still, two key presses is better than 11ty million IMHO ; )

Any help RE editing the icons in the PSD file would be greatly appreciated, as would learning how to save the result as a .brn file....

EDIT Sorry, just discovered Bmp2BRN here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1466941&postcount=41. Would still love an artist to make a Bluetooth Toggle and MMS icon though ; )

EDIT,EDIT LOL! Bmp2BRN didn't work for me, but BRNConvert worked perfectly : ) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=346910

I'm currently looking for the WVGA 480x800 version, is anyone has been created it, plz share it as well, thnx alot :)

I would be willing to donate to the cause.

It would be great to have an option to press the "action" key and have a variety of app icons to quickly choose from (much like the new start menu in wm6.5), along with the customization of having which ones you will actually use...

please help me i rooted my phone and TWRP installed and urns fine exept for it seems to be stuck in a bootloop and also TWRP can not detect or mount the SD or the internal memory also when i close TWRP it says "no operating system found" please help what do i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Bianval:
In this video review, the guy says (at 3:18) this tablet DOES NOT support an "active pen". I hope he is mistaken and just means it doesn't support specifically the "S pen". Should a universal active pen work with the Tab A8 T290? I think of buying the pen below, the manufacturer says it should work on any touch screen. The problem is that, if it doesn't work, I won't be able to return, I am in Italy and will send it to my niece in Brazil... so I have to make sure. Thanks if you can help!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] optimummind:
"Active" pens, which are battery powered, work with devices that have a digitizer layer on the display. The non-S pen model Tab A won't support those pens.

Instead, you can use the universal non-battery or battery-powered capacitive stylus or pens, like these ones:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1BRWLA

Or

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LG7DHXL

I already tried the first one but the experience wasn't good enough for me. The second one is arriving next week & I'm hoping it'll be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Bianval:
Coincidently, I already have exactly the first cheaper Meko. I had bought it in order to save money and use it on my Windows Surface 3, it didn't work... I can in fact write a whole sentence with a lot of pain, but not really usable. The bigger soft tip is always responsive, but not nice for note taking. In the end, I had to spend more money and buy the Surface pen (which is very good). I've also tried the cheap Meko on an iPad, it works better, but not really good enough for note taking. I haven't tried it on an Android device, though.

Please let me know if the Meko with the battery works better.

Thanks for your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] optimummind:
Unfortunately, and against my expectation, the battery-powered Meko pen performed worse! [emoji34] Instead of smooth lines, it was just dots everywhere.

On my iPad, though, it worked flawlessly.

I ended up returning both of the Meko pens.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Bianval:
So you mean the battery-powered Meko worked well on your iPad but not on your other device? Which one is it? Would it be Samsung Tab A8?

I guess it's a matter of luck, these styluses respond differently depending on the device.

I've been testing again the cheaper Meko Stylus (with no battery). These are the devices I've tried:

Surface 3 - very bad, not usable. 1 star.

iPad 4 - it could be used, but very painfully, not practical. 2 stars.

iPad 6 (2018) - very good, not great. It is usable to take important notes, like school notes. 4 stars.

Huawei P20 pro - very similar to iPad 6, responds very well. 4 stars.

Cheap Android phone (Leagoo) - very bad, 1 star.

I'm thinking of trying my luck on that "AICase Active Stylus Pen" (the one I put the link before, you can find in Amazon Italy)... it's an active stylus for 25 euros with a glove to rest the palm on the screen.

Thanks for you answer.... and please let me know if you find some good stylus for Samsung Tab A8 T290.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] optimummind:
On my iPad, both of the Meko pens worked well - 4/5 for the disc-based one, and 5/5 for the battery one.

On my Tab A, the disc one worked better than the battery one - 3 vs 1.

I found this pen on Amazon for the Tab A that has good reviews:

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019 Wi-Fi Stylus Pen, BoxWave [AccuPoint Active Stylus] Electronic Stylus with Ultra Fine Tip for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019 Wi-Fi - Metallic Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PGLKXM7/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_KO4QEbQCKCTMR

Didn't pull the trigger yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] lewmur:
I was about to state that ALL "active stylii" require a second digitizer to work but apparently that isn't totally true. I bought a BoxWave stylus to use with my HP Envy X360 laptop, and just to verify that it wouldn't work without the second digitizer, like the ones for the S-Pen, I tried it with my T510. I have never used a stylus for drawing, so I don't know if it works as well as an S-Pen for that, but it DOES work and it DOES produce a "ballpoint pen" type line. Their "MSRP" is fairly high, but if you shop around, you can get one fairly cheap. I got mine in eBay for about $20. New with free shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Bianval:
My "AICase Active Stylus" (from Amazon Italy) just arrived. It works very well, except that the glove that comes with it is useless, you can still use your finger to write with the glove on. I'm struggling to find some material that I can use to rest my palm... It's very uncomfortable to write without being able to rest your palm on the screen.

I would say it's a bit better than the passive Meko Stylus, especially for the iPad 4, which has an older screen. It has a metal tip, so you should have a screen protector to prevent scratches.

I've tried on these devices:

Surface 3 - doesn't work, it makes a few lines, but not good at all.

iPad 4 - works well enough

iPad 6 - very good, works a bit better than on the iPad 4

Huawei P20 pro - works similarly to iPad 6

I still haven't tried on a Samsung tablet.

I tried this and I DIDN'T WORK!!! all it did was boot into fastboot mode over and over and it all my files got encrypted because of it. so i had to re install the stock rom so this all ended up as being 2,5 hours of wasted time
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RexDiesel:
Did you install twrp?

download minimal-adb-fastboot-1-4-2-exe

Download twrp-3.3.1-1-olive.img

Rename twrp-3.3.1-1-olive.img to twrp.img and put in the folder with minimal-adb-fastboot.exe

open "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"

Type in the following command and press Enter

adb reboot bootloader

Wait for your phone to boot into bootloader mode. You can boot your phone in bootloader mode by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power key

Type in the following command and press Enter

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

After the recovery is flashed, enter the following command. But right after the phone power offs, press and hold Power button as well as Volume Up button so that the phone boots into TWRP and it patches itself. Otherwise, you would have to flash TWRP again.

fastboot reboot

In smartphones with crappy software like meizu I get it why people install custom rom even though they're riddled with bugs, laggy and lack a lot of features. But why would anyone choose that over MIUI? It's one of the best android forks out there!
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] haher2:
Lineage doesn't contain so much bloatware, it tracks less info about a user than a manufacturer rom, there are less spying apps, it is slightly faster due to a cleaner and lighter ui, it uses less battery, and, subjectively, after years of using LOS on various smartphones, it is more comfortable to stay on a familiar ui than to get accustomed to a new ui. the only useful thing miui has and LOS doesnt - clone apps (2 different whatsapp accounts, one for an each sim, are useful).

I too get this message everytime i reboot, but i haven't noticed any problem that comes along with the message.

FIXED: Do this if you have a boot loop:

In TWRP go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Repair and select one by one all of the possible partitions except USB OTG and Micro SD Card

adb sideload the ROM again and press reboot, EVEN if it says no OS

If you aren't successful, keep trying. I managed to do it by rebooting lots of times and a couple hours.

==========================

Guys i'm having problems installing this ROM:

I unlocked the bootloader with the toot that Xiaomi provides and everything fine:

(bootloader) Device tampered: false

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

(bootloader) Display panel: OKAY [ 0.070s]

I checked the status from the fastboot oem device-info, and everything is correct

I installed TWRP from the official source (twrp-3.3.1-1-olive.img)

I wiped all dalvik, data, internal storage, cache, system and vendor partitions

I did adb sideload and it says success but at the top of the screen it says "E: Unable to decrypt FBE device", I don't know if this has something to do

I downloaded the latest version of the ROM (lineage-17.1-20200127-UNOFFICIAL-olive.zip) and checked the MD5, everything correct

TL;DR: The problem is that I am stuck in a boot loop with no OS

I can see that others managed to install it without any problem, so It would be nice if you went through a gotcha. I want to start developing afterwards, but I'm stuck =(

Can we flash this rom on olive lite 8a , bcz we don't have any custom Roms for this
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peter Linzbauer:
Everything works fine for me, I want to share my experience.

I have the Xiaomi Redmi 8 M1908C3IG. I am on Ubuntu 18.04 so I had to use some tools that work on Linux.

what I did:

installed the latest official ROM olive_global_images_V11.0.11.0.PCNMIXM_20200519.0000.00_9.0_global_2813f928ed.tgz

unlocked the bootloader with XiaoMiTool-V2 you have to wait 7 days

installed TWRP with XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master

in TWRP I wipe every option in Advanced wipe, then I had to Format Data and reboot

in TWRP I installede via sideload - adb sideload lineage-17.1-20200127-UNOFFICIAL-olive.zip and adb sideload open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200705.zip

On every boot I get "Android-System Es liegt ein internes Problem mit deinem Gerät vor. Bitte wende dich diesbezüglich an den Hersteller"

And then "com.qualcomm.qcrilmsg... wird wiederholt beendet"

Other then that everything works fine. :)

you have to use the password you used on the original Install. I think you could still restore everything with the official app from Xiaomi and then try again!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Ascii3:
I am trying to install a clean Android System WebView (packagename: com.android.webview) onto stock LG G5 RS988 RS98821d Android 7.0 that is rooted.

I downloaded an arm64 WebView APK from the Bromite Releases GitHub page:

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases

I tried installing the Bromite WebView APK to "/system/app/webview/" (0644 permissions) and rebooted, but the WebView implementation could not be used.

There are instructions regarding installing Bromite System WebView available:

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/Installing-SystemWebView

From my reading of the installation instructions, "res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml" from "/system/framework/framework-res.apk" must contain the an entry for the package with the particular package name ("com.android.webview" in this case).

After examining the stock "config_webview_packages.xml" member file, it appears that a reference to "com.android.webview" is not present. The "config_webview_packages.xml" XML file also appears to not be easily readable in a text editor. My guess is that it has some kind of signing.

What must be done to get the system to allow the newly installed WebView? My impression is that the "config_webview_packages.xml" XML file must be edited, but it is not clear how to do so, given that it does not appear to be just plain text.

I have attached a copy of the "config_webview_packages.xml" XML member file and the original framework-res.apk file zipped into a ZIP 2.0 archive.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
XML files inside apks are compressed, you should unpack the framework-res.apk using a tool for apk editing, not just a zip archiver program. On Android, you can use APK Editor Pro, for example.

By the way, have you already uninstalled Chrome? If Chrome is installed, it will be forced as the standard WebView provider.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Ascii3:
It was my impression that the APK files were zip files with a particular signature block. I shall try a tool like APK Editor Pro and report back.

I have uninstalled/removed both Chrome and the Android System WebView (Google Apps version).
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Ascii3:
On Android, I used APK Editor Pro 1.10.0 to modify res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml of /system/framework/framework-res.apk. A new APK with a generic signature was generated with the modification. I used the XML file editing option to select and modify the config_webview_packages.xml. The XML file editing functionality is given to be in beta and appears buggy.

I replaced the original /system/framework/framework-res.apk file with the patched one using the TWRP 3.2.3-0 file manager and attempted to boot to system. The system would start, but get stuck at the LG logo screen. I tried wiping data, and cache in recovery and booting again, but received the same result. I note that adb was available and usable after the boot process got stuck on the LG Logo screen.

My impression is that the patched framework-res.apk file is incompatible or defective. Perhaps APK Editor Pro 1.10.0 malformed the output APK (the XML editing feature appeared unfinished) or that the LG stock ROM expects framework-res.apk to have have a particular signature.

Perhaps a different APK editing tool should be tried. What could the problem be?

I have attached a ZIP archive containing the APK Editor Pro 1.10.0 modified framework-res.apk.

EDIT: Attachment has been removed; the file was defective and should not be used. Attachment is no longer necessary.

I have now patched framewor-res.apk successfully, and Bromite System WebView is working.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Did you use again APk Editor Pro or a PC tool?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Ascii3:
The tools I used were Windows tools (and with a Java dependency in the case of Apktool) and were: Apktool 2.3.1 and WinRAR 5.6.1. I found that it is best to avoid newer versions of the tool unless trying to manipulate Android 9 Pie or newer resources.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] burny02:
I know this is an old post, but how did you get it to boot?

I'm using apktool 2.5 and seems to be stuck on the boot screen as you were
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Ascii3:
From somewhere else it seems that you are now using Apktool 2.3.1.

After comparing my notes, my impression on what you are missing and some related notes:

The modified framework-res.apk should use the unmodified APK file's "AndroidManifest.xml" root file and META-INF directory contents. It is not sufficient for any of the content to be the same after decompiling.

Copy "AndroidManifest.xml" and META-INF directory from original framework-res.apk to modified framework-res.apk using zip program, if contents are different.

v2 APK signing scheme (which includes the APK file itself in validation), if present, would be broken, but the scheme's enforcement is not enforced on /system; v1 APK signing scheme (on APK contents ("AndroidManifest.xml" file and META-INF directory contents)) is still enforced.

I zipaligned output/modified framework-res.apk prior to transferring original "AndroidManifest.xml" file and META-INF directory contents, but I do not believe it matters for the purposes of getting a functional framework-res.apk.

EDIT: Some added things to keep in mind:

Sometimes clearing system cache and the runtimes cache is also necessary before system will boot after framework-res.apk replacement. Also make sure that the permissions of the replaced framework-res.apk file are at minimum whatever the original file permissions were. Depending on what software you use to replace the framework-res.apk file, the permissions set may be different.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] burny02:
I really appreciate the help, still does not work unfortunately.

Here is what I do:

adb pull framework-res.apk

apktool d framework-res.apk (tried most versions, mainly now 2.3.1)

Edit framework-res/res/xml/config-webview-packages.xml to:

<webviewproviders>
<webviewprovider description="Bromite WebView" packageName="com.android.webview" availableByDefault="true" isFallback="true" />
</webviewproviders>

Removing other dev versions with signatures etc

apktool b framework-res

zipalign -v 4 framework-res.apk framework-res-new.apk

Move META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the 1st original framework-res.apk > framework-res-new.apk (Have also tried moving res & resources from the new to the original...7Zip, WinRAR, CLI - Linux)

adb push framework-res-new.apk /system/framwork-res.apk

Modify permissions in TWRP > 0644

Move framework-res.apk from /system/ to /system/framework/framwork-res.apk (I read somewhere this is better than pushing directly. Neither worked)

Clear Davlik & Cache

Reboot

Hangs on boot screen

Any ideas if I am missing something important?
