[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] peppot:
Since yesterday I have a seemingly unresolvable issue with the Assistant on my Pixel 3. Running Android 10 and been using swedish as the main language for a while (the issue is the same with english btw).

Stuff like setting timers, alarms, making calls, sending texts and playing music have worked fine for a long time.

Right before things went wrong I got an error message about no Google account being associated to the Assistant. I reverted it to my Google account and figured everything was fine.

Then later the Assistant started failing, and in particular to do these tasks:

- set timers

- set alarms

- make calls

- send texts.

When I try these I'm only met with the three grey pulsating dots, and no audio response or text confirmation.

Stuff that it still does, though, are:

- play music via Spotify, Google Play Music

- tell me the weather

The strange thing though is that if I set Assistant to be used without an account, it works! Also if I create a brand new test Google account, it manages those basic tasks that have stopped working on my regular Google account.

So, on Android 10, security update april 5th.

I've been trying to resolve this for 24hrs now, and frustration is growing. I've:

- tried to clear cache/data for the Google app

- inactivated it, rebooted, activated, updated

- tried the beta Google app

- tried various old versions from apkmirror -- from march, earlier in april (at a time when my Assistant was working)

- rebooted in Safe mode -- here it uses the old Assistant interface! and it actually works, but it's the clunky old one!

- checked permissions for the Google app/Clock/Telephone app/Messages -- everything seems to be enabled?

- gone through my settings for my Google account: web and app activity, location history and so on is Enabled. Personlig ads also on.

Another weird thing is that sometimes it actually seems to set a timer, but no confirmation and no notification visible. Also nothing is shown in the Clock app. But a timer beeps after five minutes -- only sometimes! Weird.

Now when I was experimenting with this I tried to set a timer, then opened the Clock app and of course, no timer was running. I then got one of those blue notification fields at the bottom, saying I can use the Assistant to set timers, alarms etc. I touched it and got an Assistant popup saying "It's not possible to reach Google right now" (translated)... Hmmm!

As you can tell, this is very weird. I would appreciate any pointers and suggestions! Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] peppot:
So this is what a typical response looks like:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/PaMGfYxAUSqAoMpZ6

And in Your Activity, it says I set a timer and got a response, but that is is simply untrue!

https://photos.app.goo.gl/VGmrP1G4KU9HE66C8

(I switched to english temporarily to try to illustrate).

So, for every one of those attempts absolutely no resonse except for the pulsating dots was shown in Assistant! :/
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] peppot:
So strange.

I zeroed my phone completely again, and set it up with my regular Google account but WITHOUT copying apps and settings. Assistant STILL WON'T DO BASIC TASKS LIKE TIMERS.

I zeroed it again and instead made a brand new Google account: Assistant immediately performs those basic tasks.

I really need some help here, please.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] peppot:
OK, so I went back and disabled all the data & privacy settings in Assistant, and now it can set a timer. But beyond that it's quite useless as it can't get access to make calls or do texts etc. So I gradually enabled setting by setting, and I've concluded that the "Web & App Activity" toggle breaks my Assistant somehow. It doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the "Include Chrome history..." or "Include voice and audio recordings" boxes, if the main toggle is on my Assistant hits some kind of wall with timers, texts and calls. Beyond this I can't understand what I can do to influence this?! :(

New type of wallpaper adds a personalization twist

[IMG="pers"]http://wakeanimation.org/img/xda2/Ing31.jpg[/IMG]

Wallpapers have been around forever, in smartphone terms. There are two tribes to the species: Static and Live wallpapers. The static ones don't do much besides simply being aesthetically pleasing. Live Wallpapers on the other hand tend to be busy continuously running animation loop to entertain–or perhaps distract–the phone owner.

I felt that something was missing here with choices available, hence Why I developed this concept of a Wake-Animation wallpaper.

The idea in a nutshell is to have something greeting you everytime you unlock your phone–think of a dog eager to show 'I am your friend, here at your service! –yet won't distract with continuous animation loop.

To built my first WAW I used original art by Stephen Najarian, a talented illustrator working in the Fantasy genre.

The way the app works is: you would set it to both Lockscreen and Homescreen in Settings->Live Wallpapers. When the phone is Locked, you will see lockscreen image that may appear like a puzzle with some ambiguity to interpretation. Once the phone gets unlocked though, the wake animation starts playing, and the pieces to the puzzle fall in place, finally revealing an image from Najarian's series. This short story visually unfolds in under a second, while your Launcher dishes out the icons.

For illustration, here the Locksceen on the left shows fragment of a beast up-close, which may not be that obvious at a first glance.

As you unlock the phone and beast comes to life shooting lightnings all over, it becomes clear this is another one of Najarian dragons awakening.

[IMG="pers"]http://wakeanimation.org/img/xda2/Comp_whi_circl_blu_out_levl1p16.jpg[/IMG]​

How well it works in practice? I share a few screen-action videos I took with app prototype at wakeanimation.org, take a look at it.

I like it. How would it be implemented, though?
[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] funscreens:
Very much like a regular Live Wallpaper; after installing the APK you go to Settings->Live Wallpapers and check both the Homescreen and Lockscreen options for it to work properly/

I guess I would have to release an alpha to address these questions, will have to clean up my code and setup something, hopefully in couple weeks.
[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] toolhas4degrees:
You know oneplus's love wallpapers have been like this for a year and a half now. This is really not a new concept, but hasn't been out on a mass scale
[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] funscreens:
My understanding is, what they have is: on Lockscreen they show some movement, then once unlocked the movement slows for the next 4-5 sec then stops. So the experience is a bit different, user experience.

Have you watched my video clips? really short ones, Do they help explain?
[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] toolhas4degrees:
Yes, they are about the same. When you unlock the phone it plays the animation for 3 seconds then stops. Yours is more customizable though

[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] funscreens:
A major thing driving this for me was the Art itself, the art of Stephen Najarian.

The way I see it, the app would have a rotation of several animations, all based on different pieces of the artist.

Would you say Najarian's art is a good material to pick for a project like this, or it's just me/my taste?

BTW on 3 sec animation length: if you got enough icons on your desktop, I'd say 60% of the grid and up, I found then it degrades the "Visual candy" effect significantly.So in my view, transitional animations need to be shorter for the art to shine.

One idea could be though, for Launcher devs to add an optional Delay parameter to their app Settings, so as to push the Icon painting down may be 300 msec or whatever folks might like. I tried reaching out to several popular Open Source Launcher devs about the idea, noone really replied.
[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] toolhas4degrees:
Actually for me I prefer many icons on my desktop. A dark bg. And not live wallpapers or opening animations bc I'm a power user and really enjoy my battery life. But art is good and fun love it. But I just wanted to show you this is not a new concept. Props on expanding it for customization

down-sample perhaps?

Apology for request: Would it be possible to temporarily "resurrect" it for a day or so? perhaps you can use another hoster, like G-Drive, Box, Imgur etc. Another thing is to down sample video first into much smaller file size. You can do that online, just Google "downsample video online" and get a few choices. Thx!

[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] funscreens:
Thanks man!

I had to play that couple times to figure what's going on here, but in a word what's missing there (compared to my approach) is Drama!

What I mean is, I am trying to show a little story (under a sec long) triggered at Unlock, while theirs is a very much ambient kind of visuals, which gracefully grinds down to a Static wallpaper. Just a different approach IMHO
[OnePlus 7T Themes, Apps, and Mods] toolhas4degrees:
Yeah, but pretty dang close. Been around for 3 or 4 years

OnePlus bugs with media playback

Folks I appreciate everybody who tried and sent Google crash report, which shows where the problem occurs.

Unfortunately, after doing some research into it, it appears OnePlus uses heavily customized ROMs which got some bus. There are number of developer reports out there about apps breaking on OnePlus and Xiaomi's (another heavily customized ROM phone make) involving media applications.

One workaround I saw on SoF is to to disable NuPlayer in the phone's Developer Options–so that a ,more stable AwesomePlayer is used instead as a fallback:

close your bull**** speculation, I live in Indonesia. the translation of each menu is imperfect, some translation errors still occur and are in crylic letters.

Yandex translation on the website is also very bad and creates misconceptions.

due to which the yandex browser interface often crashes and slows down if used all the time.

yes i like yandex browser, but if there is a MOD without yandex service it might be better and light.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Sovjohn:
Hello,

Recently a Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21 came into my hands. I experimented a bit with unofficial ROMs but eventually flashed the official back. I had flashed an earlier version, ending in 380 I believe, but because the phone attempted to upgrade to the next incremental update (say, -382) I decided to upgrade myself to the latest supported version (506). I used Firmware Finder to find the firmware and downloaded it to SD card.

Upgrade succeeded - since I had left TWRP recovery in the phone, I used the HuRUpdater which worked flawlessly.

The only small issue is that following this update, a red message is displayed on boot saying the device has failed verification.

Any way to solve this?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Hello,

my doubt is that you flashed a different firmware version from the one you had, thus corrupting the device's oem file. Could you post which was the latest complete firmware without this problem and the last one you downloaded and flashed? ( ex. L21CxxxB382 & LxxCxxxB506 ).

Let me know this info ...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Sovjohn:
Hi,

I went from l21c432b380 to l21c432b506 during this process. Stock OEM file was flashed before the -380 upgrade (no errors existed, the 380 upgrade followed a flash of -370).

I'm not sure why this is happening - I mean, both firmwares were from the firmware finder app... Weird, to say the least.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Yep, you used correct file but anyhow the firmware has been corrupted.

I think you have some ways to solve...

1 - if you have stock recovery, reboot into it and

download and flash the same latest firmware.

If you do not have it, you can extract (with huawei update extractor) it

(should be recovery1.img) from B506 firmware (update.zip) you already got,

then can be flashed via fastboot commands.

2 - Flash a previous or B380 firmware via HuRUpdater, then

update to latest via Firmware Finder with dns/vpn method.

3 - Repeat the whole job you done with B506 firmware. (via HuRupdater)

4 - Reboot recovery, reflash L21OEMinfo file, dual sim one, then the latest firmware again...

P.S.: method 1, 2, 4 will re-lock the bootloader, no problem if still you got the code...

Beware method 4, after you flash the oeminfo file do not shout down, reboot to bootloader

and unlock it again with the code. Device will reboot into twrp, then flash B506 firmware.

Good luck and let the community know.. :)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] BungeeWatcher47:
So..I was trying to unlock the bootloader using the fastboot commands. When it was all done and I was booted into TWRP, I flashed the TWRP image onto the boot partition instead of the recovery partition. Realizing my mistake seconds after, I flashed TWRP onto the recovery partition as well. Now everytime I try to boot my device, you guessed it, it opens up TWRP instead.

Previously I was using the Stock android 10 ROM with March's security update. I was wondering if there's a way to fix this? Maybe flashing the boot.img will fix this(if yes, then can one of you take a backup of yours and upload it, please?) or should I just flash Pixel experience rom and it will change the partition according to its needs?

I am kinda worried..Hopefully, the device is fixable. Thank You.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] BungeeWatcher47:
I used

fastboot boot *path of twrp.img*

to boot twrp on my phone, i guess that is called side loading? after that, when TWRP opened up, I copied the twrp.img into my storage. After that, I was supposed to flash that image onto the recovery partition by using the sideloaded TWRP but instead I flashed it onto the boot partition. I hope that is a bit clearer..anyway, even in this case will I have to flash the stock rom before trying anything else?

You could try flashing just the boot.img file from stock image.

Yes, If you were on stock A 10 march (11.0.6.0), and never re-paritioned device, then you can restore OS fasboot-reflashing stock 10.0.6.0 boot image to the slot you were using previously with 11.0.6.0 (and, btw, try to remember what was and is now in the opposite slot).
