When installing applications some of its icons get garbled. In both TFL3D as in WM6.1 interface. Lookylook:

In this case scummvm-0.11.1-WinCE.zip and Pocket Commodore c64 3.0. It has happened before with other applications as well. Some do fix themselves with a soft-reset. These (amongst others) don't. What's with that?

[Android Head-Units] Androidtrek:
Hello All

I have a 2003 Audi TT MK1 (please don't hold it against me) which did not come with the bose system

I am in the process of doing a double din conversion and purchased a housing made for the TT that accepts VW Golf Mk V headunits.

I decided to purchase the Xtrons PSD80MTVL

Now this came with a power lead with a canbus decoder and I can't get it to turn on and need some help.

Sorry I can't post links yet but on the power harness there is no pin for the acc (ignition switch)

Looking for ideas on how to power the unit

1. does the canbus decoder need to be fitted ? I don't need any information from the vehicle to be sent to the headunit or vice versa

2. does both the yellow constant 12v and the red ignition live wires need to connected to the headunit - If so how

Any ideas/suggestions would be very much appreciated

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Androidtrek:
If I unplug the Canbus Decoder and connect the acc to the red wire in the canbus decoder plug ?

Would this power on the headunit ?

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] redymedan:
Just flash the ROM to make it works again. to enter download mode, connect the phone to PC, press and hold volume down + power key, when the screen blank release power key only, then quickly press and hold volume down + volume up.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Mega_Rayquaza:
oh..., what's a ROM, and i am already stuck endlessly in a download mode because i bricked it in the mode somehow
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] InFam0us-1985:
download your firmware and get odin and samsung drivers
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] redymedan:
ROM or firmware is Operating System like OS Windows 7/10. In Android we call it ROM or firmware. You must install or Flash this ROM on your phone. Download the ROM that match with your device model number like SM-A505F, If you have the ROM you must flash it using ODIN tool. If you are not familiar with flashing then you need some one to do it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] lumpygiraffe:
well just power off your phone by hard reset method .. which you can easily find on YouTube.. then .. press and hold volume up and down simultaneously for 2 seconds .. ( not more than that) and connect usb when the screen turns on to bootloader unlock prompt, let go of the buttons.. then select unlock bootloader mode by using volume keys as directed in the screen .. then enter download Moda by using volume buttons ... and the try flashing twrp again..

p.s-- DON'T FORGET TO INSTALL SAMSUNG DRIVERS BEFORE DOING ALL THESE!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Quasar83:
I just came across a offer on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL 128GB, but I can't decide between the 3 or 3 XL.

How is the screen quality on the 3 compared to XL? Is it brighter, and is it easy to hide the notch on the XL?

Is the battery life noticeably better on the XL?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
The XL has a nicer Samsung screen. The 3's screen is an LG.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] RagedElimanator:
I use the Pixel 3 XL, when I saw the Pixel 3 it looked too small for me, though for some people that can be a good matter. I think both screens are at an equal fighting ground For more context the the larger one uses a Samsung OLED panel, while the smaller one uses and LG OLED panel. The colors appear to maybe pop a little more on smaller one, however the larger one has a more true to life panel. I like the screen screen on my Pixel 3 XL it does look a little warmer than cooler. Hiding the notch is so easy and I think Google did it the best way because the top partially virtual bezel looks equivalent to the bottom. Nearly all apps mostly work with that, very rarely the UI looks weird these days. I get 5 hours screen on time with around 20ish left on a average day. Battery life should improve over time, I must warn you the bloody ide drain is ridiculous and to correct I only found by using scripts.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Quasar83:
Thank you for responding. Maybe it's best to buy the XL and just hide the notch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
Go for the Xl. Better battery and nicer overall. I think it's also had more development as far as ROMs.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Any chance you'd be interested in PMing me those scripts. I'm coming from an LG V20 and it was a pretty mediocre phone but it's idle drain was phenomenal. Lowest I've been able to get my 3XL is 1.7% so far.

I concur on the XL over the regular version. Unless you specifically want a phone that is smaller and like to use it 1 handed then the battery life alone is worth the XL. The screen is better on the XL but it's not night and day difference and is not that noticeable
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] RagedElimanator:
Check the forums for Blackened Mod, and to further elaborate I just mean that with these scripts, I drain 2%-3% over night I have not calculated per hour metrics.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
Still 3 XL in 2020?

Came across a very good offer for Pixel 3XL and don't know what to do...

I had 2 XL and enjoyed it tremendously. Gave it to my wife, since her Gemini Pro died.

Bought used Note 9, but I couldn't get used to it - somehow....

Why the hell I couldn't synchronise S Notes data, with my computer, why Samsung ditched support for nearby places in dialer, why the hell Galaxy Watch needs so many permissions, why Galaxy watch plugin draining the battery - on Samsung device (!), bad BT range on Note 9, etc...

I ended up with the project to replace all stock apps with Google ones and had double of most of them. I found out that when you integrate most of the Google services, than the battery is not that good anymore. I ended up selling it.

Since I am used to Google services and I use them also on my computer, the Pixel line is the only good choice, I think - but I might be wrong...

I need:

Exceptional Camera, Google Photos backup in original resolution, wide phablet, not so tall, decent speed (I don't play games), good battery (Blackened Mod ???), reasonable amount of storage (128 GB?), front stereo speakers, monthly security updates and: I know that I can expect system updates to Android 11 and 12....

More demanding stuff will be only Office, Acad and that sort of app...

I am not planning to spent 1000 EUR on 4XL, 2XL costed me that much back then....

.... Maybe Oneplus 7T (it has an average camera...don't like it + an issue of not saving videos in appropriate format to use them elsewhere)??

What do you guys think?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] RagedElimanator:
The Pixel 3 XL can be defined as fitting those requirements. The screen reminds me of a refined Nexus 6P, more phablet rather than tall. Blackenmod will better the idle time, there are other ways to increase battery like greenify. Original photo quality backups still exists for it and the camera is still exceptional today due to the nature and refined sensor. CAD software and Microsoft Office should run fine, I have used both not too long ago on it. The OnePlus 7T has more ram/storage if you really need it, and the battery is larger. I would say chose one based on what you value more/more updated hardware or a more optimized experience, both devices are great options though I personally would still chose a Pixel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Droidvzw:
Go with the XL

Pixel 3 has better in hand feel, built a little sleeker and is a great phone. The battery was the deal-breaker for me. My 3 XL gave me drastically better battery life, so much better that I'm ignoring the hideous notch. They say you get over it but I never really did. I do like the edge to edge display though. The difference in battery makes me strongly recommend the XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
I was even thinking about the 7 Pro, all sorts of things were crossing my mind...

But after reading This, I think that 3XL will better suit my needs.

Oneplus are great devices but as that guy said: Pixel line has "a little magic" over everything else...

The 3XL is on its way here, managed to get it for less than 400 EUR - open box and tested only....Will see if I made a mistake when it arrives...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] crixley:
Apparently you missed the exceptional camera part lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
OK I got the 3XL 64GB .for 370 EUR (someone tested it and returned it back to the Shop) practically new, hadn't found a single micro scratch :D

First impressions vey positive, no issues whatsoever, battery health OK (98%).:good:

I think that his phone is still a good buy in the middle of 2020, especially since it is the last Pixel with unlimited photo storage for original photo resolution until 2022 :cool:

I am easily getting 6 hours of SOT, AOD included, full stock, unrooted.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] yarsanich:
Bought used 3XL. Great device for the money that it cost at the moment. Even with a notch :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dave011182:
I can get the 64gig version brand new from sprint for $300 plus tax to buy it outright.

I'm sure this would be a huge upgrade from my LG G6,

Is it still worth it for this price??????

I considered the 4xl when it was on sale for 600, but I really like the fingerprint sensor over face unlock
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] kinkinoa:
Hello guys,

I bought a Mi 9T by a reseller couple of days ago and noticed how the auto-brightness was not working. Same for auto-rotation.

I found out through CIT that the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors weren't responding, calibrating them also not possible.

The installed ROM was 11.0.4.0 Global Stable.

I already looked through multiple threads on XDA since this seems to be a common issue and tried to solve the problem as instructed.

1) Unlocked Bootloader

2) Installed TWRP (3.3.1)

3) Flashed persist (after mounting it) with the persist.img I extracted from the 11.0.4.0 Global Stable Fastboot ROM

The process seemed to be fine, but after multiple reboots, CIT still showed that the sensors didn't wake up.

I then flashed the 10.3.11 Global ROM via MiFlash and flashed persist.img again (sensors still dead) .

Other things that were posted and that I've tried that couldn't solve the issue:

a) simg2img /sdcard/persist.img /sdcard/persist_EXT4.img <and> dd if=/sdcard/persist_EXT4.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

b) Changing the persist lines in the Fastboot ROMs rawprogram0.xml and flash_all.sh .... only that there are no such lines in the several ROMs I've downloaded.

I've now rooted the phone in order to copy some sensor files to /persist/sensors as described in this thread (https://xdaforums.com/mi-mix-2/help/mi-mix-2-sensors-expect-proximity-sensor-t3777015),

but could not find a persist folder in my root directory.

Is there no hope at all?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] ashy10:
I am having the same issue, still could not fix it.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
The method you mentioned requires flashing the fastboot/tgz stock rom

Anyway, in TWRP, mount Persist and then in Advanced, File manager, you can see the Persist PARTITION (and its folders) - as on the screenshot

Anyone know if its possible to pull the number of unread stories in rss hub from the registry?

Im working on modding a battery status skin to my own needs, replacing the mms icon and counter with an rss icon and counter, just cant find out how i can pull this in.

Rss hub has a today screen plugin (which is a bit ugly) but id assume it stores it in the reg somewhere.

Any help would be great.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] funy:
Not to worry, just found it at HKCU\Software\Ilium Software\Rss Hub\NewsItemsCount

however my mod just seems to break it, anyone here good with batterystatus?

Original xml file.

and then my version

i have created the relevant rss0 and rss-1 graphics same as the mms but when i load my version of the mod that icon or where the mms icon would be is gone completely and the two other icons get shunted to the left in its place, but it does seem to be there because if i click to the right of the first icon it loads the "inboxmms" which i havent changed yet, that will ultimately need to be linked to rsshub.

Hope all this makes sense.

I agree with you. Yes maybe there is something that works. But there are a lot of bugs in this Rom that make me disappointed as a holder of the G8341 because it is labeled Stable

But on the other hand the value of the OS itself is pretty good and the kernel also works well

Only in the Lib section that must be addressed again for developers

? There are things in this Rom that make me confused why I can't enter TWRP at all and I tried to flash again TWRP got failed results.
