[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussi] Pumpino:
I posted a mini review of MIUI 12 on the Whirlpool forums, so I decided to post it here, too. In a nutshell, I'm not a fan of the direction Xiaomi is taking with MIUI.

--

I flashed the MIUI 12 beta build from yesterday on my Mi9 Lite. While Realme made RealmeUI more stock-like than ColorOS 6 was, Xiaomi appears to be moving MIUI in the opposite direction. I didn't mind MIUI 10, but I didn't like MIUI 11 so much. MIUI 12 is worse than ColorOS 6.

These screenshots are with the display size changed from the default of 392 to 411 to make things smaller, but you'll notice that the text is still large, and very bold. If I reduce the font thickness, it reduces the overly thick headings in the various menus, but the smaller text becomes too thin.

You'll notice the quick settings have been replaced by a near full-screen control centre, which, in my opinion, is worse than any other UI available. Luckily, there's an option to disable the control centre. I've included a screenshot of this toggle.

MUI 12 Beta all Devices

Hi guys,:good:

MIUI 12 Beta for all devices in MIUI.eu posted today :fingers-crossed::laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussi] downloadonlyaccount:
Downloading right now (globe rom version).

Anyone tried yet?

edit:

Okay, installation is done. Here are some first impressions:

- First boot took quite long, almost thought I had a bootloop.

- I needed a second reboot, as the new gestures weren't working right after reboot

- Some animations (especially sending app to background by swiping up = hombebutton) dont feel as smooth as in MIUI 11

- Instantly disabled the new control center. Honestly looks like a cheap iOS rip-off

- I couldn't find those new "planetary wallpapers" with the zoom in effect that were mentioned in some news about MIUI 12. May be that's because it's xiaomi.eu rom

- New camera UI looks quite nice

That's it for now. Will update if I find any problem etc.

I have a Chinese Mate 30 Pro 5G updated to EMUI 10.1

Does it have this feature?
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
Anybody have idea about this? Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] Sathelp:
I thought that it was only in a P40 camera app and not a general 10.1 update. Have you seen this as part of 10.1 general update? Would be good but defo not on my 10.1 Mate 30 Pro Chinese yet.
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
I also thought that it was a new feature of EMUI 10.1 because they passed me a screenshot in a Telegram forum, but in the end it was from a P40 Pro.

In the Mate 30 Pro this feature is not added yet.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
App withdrawn--URL no longer valid, no working replacement

Yes, that's right, the online 24/7 news outlet of CBS News.

:) Well, this is just for fun, but it is interesting in its own way and was very easy to do, so I did it (cooped up for weeks.....).

Requirements

1. This is a Tasker app and has a dependency on two library files which are part of a GApps installation. If you don't have GApps or one of my other Tasker apps already, you need to copy the two files in the zip as below:

/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar

Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.

2. MX Player or some other video player capable of playing network streams. Here's a link to the appropriate MX Player version and for the custom codec package. You need both.

3. Realistically, either NoRefresh or FastMode, unless you like the flickering video effect.

4. USB Audio, unless you are really good at reading lips. I actually tried to turn on the CC for the stream, but it seems they do not CC everything anyway, so I gave up. Just for fun :)

Installation

Install apk as normal from a file manager or via ADB. On first run (don't forget WiFi!) it may ask what app you want to use to play the stream. On my device it gives MX Player and Opera (nope!) as options. The screenshot below shows that MX Player automatically goes to landscape (although the device remains in portrait mode) when playing the stream. This is a freeze-frame screenshot, without NoRefresh, so it looks really great (and is actually in color when you take the shot). I find that the contrast on NoRefresh has to be adjusted quite a bit on the + side from default to get something watchable, but there is a limited range of grey and it's easy to wash everything out looking for that perfect spot. My kernal doesn't support FastMode but from my memory of it I would expect a lot of ghosting.

In theory it would be possible to extend this app for general IPTV use by providing a text file containing stream URLs and creating a menu system to choose one. But I'm not that bored (or crazy) yet ;)

to me an xda 2 is very cool.

it's my first touchscreen based windows mobile phone.

my first windows mobile phone was a samsung sgh-i300 (I still own it but I don't know where it is, I think on my desktop somewhere) ;)

I came from my first mobile phone for about 10 years to my second one, 4 years later, a sharp... and 2 years later it was a nokia n-gage qd. then half a year later a nokia 9300.. then a nokia n90. then my windows mobile based samsung, half a year later my Sony Ericsson W 810i (don't know why SOny, it was very important to get a new handy soon, because my Samsung was broken at the Samsung Service). Then, just before 2 months, I got my XDA II !!!

I love it. Of course, no hardware-keyboard, no good sound, giant and fat (thats kinda good for me with my big hands :D )... The screen isn't very bright , but its big. Is it 3 or 3.5" ? Dont know, but it's enough :)

Thats my story how I came to this xda2. And to me it's like a new device (I mean those Omap CPUs are just the half of this cpu, ram and rom are just okay... sd slot is very good because cheap) so I think it is one of the oldest BUT BEST handhelds ...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Ather:
hmm if i stated my device history here..i think 2 posts would be enuf :D

very satisfied...i choose himalaya based to advice from little brother of XOJ(indonesian ppc community) moderator, he used BA(the legend coz it's the first BA which used 1st HELMI_C wm6(HELMI cooked on that device))&MPX200, and that made me unpatience to have ppc, coz my budget is too low so i decide to bought himalaya for my first ppc and i've never dissapointed.

old hardware but newest software

Himalaya is great device have ever built from HTC and only could compare with his successor Blue Angel as well which running smoothly from WM2003 until WM6.5, perhaps MS or HTC also never imagine that this device still exist even they always create their new OS or device.

Unfortunately our hima is showing its age. More and more are getting broken everyday and difficult to find parts. I gave up the ghost on mine (which is actually my wife's who got a newer pda with WM6) about 3 years ago because of a broken charging/usb slot. Can't find anyone who can fix it since the official support shop closed down before it broke. Was just playing with it with its old WM2003 until I found a group of hima users here and I was directed to someone who has the parts and skills to repair it. After that i read through xda-developers and now I have a WM6.5 powered device! How cool is that? Better than my wife's WM6! My only regret is that back then It was easy to find 2nd hand units at low price but never paid attention to it. now I'm trying to find them and they're all gone. Pity.

What I like most about it? The size of the screen. My eyesight is not exactly what it used to be and having that large screen really helps!:)

Hei..I think it's a good news...

himalaya

hi

Indeed it's impressive to see WM6.5 run smooth on this device, but I wonder what is the advantage of the himalaya over the alpine, on the paper alpine is more powerfull not ? (or I've missed something). and not WM5 or 6 capable ?

Recently i've tryied a game (krally) on the diamond !!! and the speed difference is incredible the same game on himalaya (sun_dream 6.5) is a LOT smoother and faster (I think a vga screen for this size is very useless)

So I am very happy with himalaya thanks to the comunity to keep it alive !!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] paulpax:
i thought i would give up my himalaya, after all, its heavy, its big, the camera is no good, plus my usb connector pins are broken. luckily i was able to upgrade to wm 6.1 before the pins broke.

just before i was gonna give up my old himalaya, i found something that made me keep it. opera mini. although we could have our choice of browsers for this device, opera mini allowed me to use my hima large screen, touch pad to the fullest, i need not say that im experiencing unlimited internet on less than 10pesos prepaid load. thats 25c US cents for limitless surfing.

i may edit this post later but even though i had to buy a separate batt charger for me hima and 2 extra batts, i still love my hima.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Ohiostyle:
I wanted to get on the latest developer preview release, downloaded the system image, and flashed it to my phone, when done i tried to reboot it, but it stayed on the white google logo screen infinitely. Eventually rebooted, and now won't even attempt to boot. It just goes back to fastboot.

Any attempt to go to recovery, boot the system, or anything - gives an error "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly". It offers a link to g.co/ABH then an option to press the power to continue, when I do, it briefly flashes the google logo, then back to the bootloader. Where it has a reason shown as "error booting boot.img"

It doesn't respond to any adb or fastboot commands, but does show in the device manager as LeMobile Android Device (Android Bootloader Interface). And that's about it.

I seem to be stuck in a loop here, and would appreciate if anyone has any advice to offer.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Ohiostyle:
I've managed to get it responding to fastboot commands, but it fails while flashing the system image, it seems to fail at exactly the same point each time though, and I just can't seem to get it to finish the install, and therefore can't boot up.

It flashes the radio, and recovery without any problem, goes through a large portion of the system flash process before failing.

Below is the text from where it fails, does anyone know a way around this?

Sending sparse 'vendor_b' 1/3 (262140 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file)

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] kev15059:
Is it going from fastboot to fastbootd?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Ohiostyle:
Yeah it was, it completed a lot of other read/write actions after moving over to fastbootd, before failing.

I was able to get it working by sideloading the ota file. Any system image (always factory images) that I would try to flash would fail at the same point. I have no idea why.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] debopriyobasu:
Moto G5 Plus was released in early 2017, and to many of us, it is a 3+ year old phone. Fast forward to 2020, many phones are still launching with 4GB RAM at the same price point. To many of us who do not game, Snapdragon 625 is a good enough processor for our daily tasks. Also, the 12 MP f/1.7 shooter can shoot some wonderful shots using GCam in well lit conditions.

Some of us have moved on to newer devices, but others have some valid reasons to hold on to this device for longer.

In this context, what steps do you take to increase the longevity of your Moto G5 Plus?

As a starter, I do the following:

Use Pixel Experience ROM to get monthly security patches and run Android 10

Use Naptime to reduce standby drain, so as to minimize charging my device everyday to preserve battery cycles.

Uninstall apps that I don't use and enable background battery usage restrictions in Android 10.

Kindly share your list of things that you do to extend the lifespan of your device.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Tanzbaerli:
Hi!

Recently i upgraded from Stock Android 8.1 to Arrow-OS (android 10) and it runs very well.

The only problem can be the accu which seem to become weaker. And a Accu change is very complex for this phone (i watched the videos)

I currently have no reason to change the phone. I have no problems with the speed of the phone but i am not the Action-Game player on Android!

So i hope that i can use it for another year until new Android 11 phones came out.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] debopriyobasu:
Nice choice you made there! I will also keep this phone for another year, as it meets my daily usage requirements perfectly. Android 11 is going to bring more components that can get updated directly via Project Mainline, so I look forward to Google partially fixing the Android fragmentation problems. I don't use Arrow OS, as dark mode does not make the dialer dark during the last time I tried it. I'm also interested to check out Dirty Unicorns 14.2 for potter, but it's not available via XDA.

By accu, do you mean Accumulator? Then that would be quite difficult to change.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Tanzbaerli:
Yes, thats the only problem that could force me to buy a new phone earlier. My experience is that the acuumulator can becomer very weak very fast. On my next phone, i will definitely only buy one where the accumulator can be changed easily. I even use my old Nexus 9 with an new accumulator (there the change was very easy).

I am very happy that so good custom roms exist for the Moto G5 plus. Most of the roms i tried for other devices are not as good as Arrow OS for the G5plus. I never expected that!

More than 3 years good usabilty of a phone which originally costed me 260 Euros. Great!!
