[FYT Android Head Units] Hiiamhello:
I'm still waiting on my S8 Pro to arrive but I was looking through a thread for must have apps for android head units and this comment suggested AutoStart - No root. Hopefully this helps you, or it looks like there's plenty on the Play Store to try out.
[FYT Android Head Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
HI again. I was reading the manual again last night and I thought about the EQ and listener settings. Does the wires being reversed affect those settings, like if I set it to sound best for the front seat, will it sound best for the back seat instead? Or is it basically just the same as the labels on the back of the unit being switched, but the unit doesn't know?

Also, for the Gallery to work via the pull-down, check out the manual on how to load the photos onto the system and then reboot it. Interesting for it to work like that!

A note I want to make is that this unit has four USB ports coming from the back, and unfortunately I didn't realize that until it was too late to order a second dual-USB extension square mount (I had gotten one dual and one single for the A6) before my install. I will have to use the single one for my side of the car (the QC 3.0 one) and the dual for the passenger side. I wish I could have had a dual for my side, too, but I probably won't need it anyway. (I'm not planning on opening up the dash again just for an extra USB port whether I get a dual for my side or a second single for a different spot in the car. And I'm definitely not going to have messy wires hanging out, hence the square mounts.)

Does anyone here use the Bluetooth tethering app that the manual recommends? You put it on both the phone and the head unit, unlike the other app I use when tethering my iPad (when the power or cable Internet goes out) which goes only on the phone.

Also, do you think it is possible for Atoto to change the unit to allow Tasker to never be killed during sleep (for fast boot), or is that an Android limitation? I would think that it wouldn't take too much battery power, but really I don't know. I just think it would be handy so we can set up tasks to automatically open apps or change settings etc. upon fast boot.
[FYT Android Head Units] Super_paulie:
i think my S8 Ultra doesnt kill tasker? i know it doesnt kill Live Wallpapers like my A6 used to. I can test today and report back.

I use Nova Launcher, its very customisable, you should give that a go.
[FYT Android Head Units] Strizay:
Something else I noticed. on the back of the S8 standard is a split Y USB extension cable. They're labeled, but I can't remember what they say right now. But I have the one port going straight to my dash cam, and I have another USB Y splitter on the other. From that splitter I have 2 type C charging cables so that I can charge 2 cells at the same time. The charging works great, but the file explorer app does not recognize them as USB devices. When I connected mine for the first time, it asked if I wanted to connect it for dev use and I hit no. then I switch it to data transfer and an error comes up on my phone and the stereo does not recognize them as external storage.
[FYT Android Head Units] Strizay:
Thanks for the help, but none of the autostart apps worked. I dragged down the top bar and hit restart and it still load the radio. I guess I'll have to load it manually every time I get in, kind of a bother, but it's not really a big deal.

I just tested Nova out and it looks and works like Google Now Launcher, and it does the same thing, it doesn't recognize the phone as an app. I can't create a shortcut icon for the phone because I can't find it any where. And whenever I turn the stereo off then on, The search app loads automatically. No matter what, if I drag down the top bar and hit reboot or if I just turn the unit off, the search box still loads and I have to close it to get to the home screen. I uninstalled Nova and I'm back to the stock launcher again. The only real problem I have with the stock launcher is that you can't resize the icons, other than that it's fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
Well that's cool! :) I'm looking forward to mine getting installed tomorrow (if everything goes well). I installed the red trim on my back doors this afternoon, too, since it was warm and sunny finally, so it is a good week for my car!

Not all the USBs are meant for use for external storage devices. That's one of the labels on the cords. Quick Charge is another label (except I don't know if your S8 Standard has QC 3.0), and I believe the other label is for Android Auto/Apple Car Play. I'm sure they all charge, but only the one is QC 3.0, which is the one I'll be using to charge my Samsung phone. The S8 Pro has two sets of Y-split USB cables, so four USB ports (not including the one on the front of the stereo next to the screen), and I believe two are for external storage. I only plan on having guests use them for charging, and I don't understand the point of the ugly, clunky Android Auto app, but I probably should write down which port is which (although I am losing one due to not realizing in time that I need the flush mounts for four ports instead of three).

Maybe I'm not remembering it correctly, but isn't there a separate plug-in for dash cams? Or does yours just not use that type of plug?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Gorthan:
Hi guys,

Recently after a

I'm stuck in a bootloop. I would like to specify that I ran the twrp checked if I was able to flash something but I saw that I was not able to flash anything because my phone doesn't have the root I rebooted the phone, and from that moment I cannot run the os at all. I'm able to go to the fastboot and I'm able to run the twrp and the recovery.

I tried to reflash the boot only but without success. At this moment I tried to reinstall all the system 10.0.9 but I received this message:

Unfortunately, all these attempts failed. In the past, I tried the rooting. After the first period, it worked properly but I was not able to re-install magisk boot file as it was not recognized by the magisk app. I don't remember if there were some magisk module.

I don't know if this helps, please assist. If the topic is in the wrong section, please move it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Try to install again the rom, and when the device reboot itself in recovery don't reboot it
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Gorthan:
thanks so much for your reply.

I realized that with the twrp I selected the partition A and I reinstalled the rom again and the system restarted. Now I'll try to restore the partition B. (But in meantime I'm performing a backup all the data ;)).

Update: I reinstalled the system in the Partition B and works properly.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Thezilgme:
Hello, All!

Not sure if this is an appropriate question in the forum but I hope someone will be able to explain me what I am about to ask.

So after my Redmi note 8 pro updated to Android 10 I noticed that pro camera has some "pro features for taking photos" and one of those features is that camera allows to drag focus ring and exposure ring separately and you can adjust both parameters separately. Can someone explain how to adjust them ? I am only able to drag them but cannot see any differences in the photos.

Thabk you!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Darhk Citadel:
I was attempting to root my OnePlus 7 so that I could increase the volume limits (I'm hearing impaired) via TWRP and then eventually Magisk, however it seems many things went wrong along the way. I managed to get TWRP working on my phone but then it wasn't finding any of my stored memory and therefore the TWRP Zip file I needed to finally root the phone. In my efforts to correct that I have bricked my phone (not sure if it's hard bricked or soft bricked) but currently it will only boot into the fastboot menu and selecting any option brings me right back to the fastboot menu again.

I tried getting back to the TWRP but no luck when I try to boot it I get the error message FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)

After reading online for a bit of help I thought it might be hard bricked so I tried to use the MSM tool but again I had no luck due to Param Preload - Device not match image

I have attached screenshots for both issues, I've also tried guides for soft bricked OP7P and despite showing as successful they reboot right back into the fastboot menu as if nothing has happened.

Please I'd really appreciate some help I've been trying for days to fix this mess!

How did you unlock the boot loader?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Darhk Citadel:
I enabled USB Debugging on my phone and then used "Shift + Right Click" from within the folder with twrp file and used the command "fastboot oem unlock"
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] @soka:
Was in this situation. If you have an unlocked bootloader, try to search for the fastboot ROMs on xda. Not sure if there is a 5g version though. With a try. Best of luck.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Darhk Citadel:
Thanks, I tried that this morning perhaps I did it wrong, but when I used the same cmd window as I did to "unlock" the bootloader nothing happened. It went through the process and finally finished with no errors and said "press any key to exit" -But as for my phone it did not reboot in fact there was no change at all, it remained on the bootloader screen as normal. When I tried to reboot for a normal load it looped back to the bootloader, when I tried to reboot to recovery it booted back to recovery. It was as if the fastboot ROM was completely ineffective.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Darhk Citadel:
So I just tried to flash a recovery.img and I got this error "failed (remote (recovery_a) no such partition)" which leads me to believe that my phone is a lot worse than I originally thought...

Any help would be greatly appreciated I fully accept that I messed this up BIG TIME!

[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Ok, first of all, can someone point me to a screen capture software? I know that smart tool kit can do it, but i dont like all the other things it does. Ok, now on to the thing i *MIGHT* have found.

Each one of the sliding panels has an icon on the top left that represents what its function is for that panel. I found a way to change those icons. Im not sure if this has been done, but if it hasnt i wouldnt mind showing you guys how to change that icon. Once i get a hold of that software, ill take a screen cap to show you guys. The easy way to change them to a color icon is by simply relocating the location of each icon using the registry. Windows Mobile 6 has color icons availalbe of all the white icons we get with a stock WM6.1 device. I dont know why MS or HTC for that matter, chose the plain jane white icons, but i decided to just map them to the color icons in the set that MS includes. Not only does the sliding panels look nice with the NRG icon bar on top, but if you really wanted to change the icons to whatever you want, you can do that. By simply using a PE explorer to view the bronzeres.dll, and moddifing the icons by injecting them in place of the ones you are linking to.

Once again, im not sure if you guys know how to change them or not.

As far as changing the icons on the panels do you mean like this

Notice that I change the icon when a panel becomes selected.
[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Thanks buddy, you rock! Ill take that screenie to show you guys what i mean.
[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Exactly like that. I know you can change the icon, like one can be 2301;2300 on the registry so it becomes "active" when you scroll to it. Ive been digging into the .dll's and registry ALOT the past 2 days, ive become....obsessed with it, really. Thats why i thought i might have "discovered" something. :-)
[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Ive found some "Developer Modes" as well. Enter code *#*#364#*#*, and it displays some info that i dont really understand.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
yea and you can also use icons outside of the .dll too.

look at these screenshots and see that they are nothing like the default ones that come in the .dll

[HTC Excalibur] faus_zayas1:
Hahaha

very nice Dude, switching up the dlls lol...
[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Yea i changed all my GF's icons on her Dash. Heres something off topic, after people have seen the WM6.1 and the hacks ive done to my phone, ive made about 6 people buy the S620...lol.

On another note, how on earth do you change the background on the start menu? Ive seen some posts about this buy they all seem either confusing or wrong. Also, is it possible to change the icons on the top when the start menu is showing so that its consistent with the home color icons by NRG?
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Can you post up the changes to make to the registry to enable all of these icons you're using? I'm assuming they are the stock WM6.0 icons?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Yea they are all in the chome dll. I dont know what the number of the icons are.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ruhrohs:
Phone is detected by "adb devices" but not detected by "fastboot devices"

I purchased a used P3a XL from Swappa. I would like to install a custom ROM. As we all know, in order for me to do that I need to unlock the bootloader. I think the phone is a Google Edition (checked SKU on box against what is sold in stores).

I have done quite a bit of research before posting here and think I have the process correct. I have enabled developer mode and toggled the OEM unlock option. I am able to "adb devices" and see the phone on my computer terminal. I "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone reboots in to "Fastboot Mode". When I do "fastboot devices" nothing shows. When I boot in to fastbootd (via stock recovery) and execute "fastboot devices" I can see the phone. I execute "fastboot flashing unlock" and it fails with "fastboot flashing unlock failed remote: unrecognized command flashing unlock".

I have tried this on my PixelBook with Linux installed and on my Ubuntu lab machine. Both of those machines give me the same results. I tried with my Windows 10 laptop, but the phone isn't detected by any of my USB-C to USB-A cables.

I have factory wiped the phone a few times and attempted the steps above, but it results in the same thing. Phone is not detected in fastboot. Interestingly, I am able to sideload the latest OTA (QQ3A.200605.001, Jun 2020) without any errors. After sideloading the latest OTA, I am still unable to unlock the bootloader.

I suspect one of two things:

1. The phone is a VZW/Sprint/T-Mo edition. Even so, VZW edition can be unlocked. I tried that method (found an XDA thread to do that).

2. Something is wonky with the phone (bootloader software)

Unfortunately, since I bought it second hand, I do not think Google would honor the hardware warranty to issue me an RMA.

What do you folks think may be an issue?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
:rolleyes:

Sideloading is an adb function, not fastboot. Make sure you have the lastest Android platform tools. This doesn't mean you can unlock the bootloader but to get fastboot working.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Also make sure you have the oem cable or at least a decent cable, and use a 2.0 port if possible. I've seen other a/b devices refuse to work or give half commands with 3.0+ ports. What does it says underneath oem unlocking in dev settings? I've attached the latest adb/fastboot files just in case you might need them.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ruhrohs:
I just updated my Ubuntu machine with the lastest SDK, so both ADB and Fastboot were updated. The phone can be seen with "adb devices". It can be seen with "fastboot devices", but only if the phone is in fastbootd mode. Wouldn't this confirm that fastboot works on the laptop?

I am using a PixelBook with the original USB-C to USB-C cable that came with the phone. My Windows laptop doesn't see the phone at all

OEM unlock option is enabled.

As far as your window laptop, you might try installing usb drivers.

Yup, tried that as well. I even went as far as wiping one of my lab machines, installed Windows 7, copied and installed the command line tools only from here: https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads, but no dice. For Windows, I think it's a cable issue. I'm getting new USB-C to USB-A cables delivered tomorrow. Once I get them, I will try on my Windows laptop.

Update to my issue...

Bought a 3 pack of Anker cables. Plugged each of them to my phone and to each of my Win 7 and Win 10 laptops. Both laptops are able to charge the phone, however the don't detect the phone for data transfer/USB debugging. I checked device manager, deleted/uninstalled all Android devices that were listed (including my first generation Pixel XL), rebooted my laptops and tried again. No dice... At this point, I'm chalking it up to the Pixel 3a XL phone itself and an issue with the hardware.

Note to self... Buy a brand new phone for an extra $100 and I would have saved myself over 4 days of troubleshooting an issue.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] thatsupnow:
You do realise that you've got to change the USB settings for it to do data transfer right???
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] kevinchristopherson:
my problem more than once, ashamed to say. after updating drivers and cords. then forgot to pull my notifications down for that last little line. it's a learning process though. (so they say).
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] thatsupnow:
No worries dude even when you change default usb settings it still stays in charging mode
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ruhrohs:
Yup, I know that I need to change it to data transfer, however the phone isn't detected by either of my Windows laptops. The phone is only detected via ADB on my Chromebook. I can do an "adb reboot bootloader" and it'll accept the command, but "fastboot devices" or "lsusb" shows no devices.

Yup, my first gen Pixel XL will notify me when I pull down the notifications, but the Pixel 3a doesn't.

I ended up setting up the phone and used it for a fewdays. It works fine, however I'm used to running AdAway, AFWall, EX Kernel Manager, Greenify, High Brightness Mode, NapTime, Titanium Backup and Viper4Android. There are workarounds to enable Greenify and NapTime via ADB, but it's a moot point without the other root dependent apps.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ruhrohs:
Updating this thread to close this out.

Bought a brand new Pixel 3a XL from the Google store. I was able to root without any issues on my Windows 10 laptop. I attempted the same exact process with the same USB port and USB cable for the Pixel 3a XL that I bought from Swappa, but it didn't work. This confirms my educated guess that it's a hardware issue on the phone.

The secondary market may soon be flooded with Pixel 3a XLs once the Pixel 4a is released. Before you get burned on a non-rootable phone, ask the seller how long they have owned the device and check the warranty on it. As of this post, you can check the IMEI Here: hxxps://store.google.com/repair (replace the hxxps with https).

Good luck!

You need to download the google usb driver and update the Pixel 3 driver in Device manager with the usb driver. Then the computer will recognize the phone as a fastboot device while it's in bootloader.

In my case on Ubuntu 20.04, it was a USB 3.0 port problem. It was detect device with fastboot devices but other commands does not has a response. My laptop hasn't got a USB 2.0 port. Then I disabled internal USB 3.0 support in my BIOS and now fastboot is working normally. But all USB 3.0 support is stopped. It seems USB 2.0 hub is the better option. I will set back the BIOS setting later.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] th3y:
Yesterday i bought the G020B version, and the same happened to me while unlocking bootloader, fastboot keeps on <waiting for device> like if the phone was not even connected

I searched for a driver that could work and found this (For windows)

Basically, my system can't detect properly the phone because the driver was not 'updated'. (Even when i can use fastboot on other devices)

Hope it works for you or everyone here.

I first tried paranoid android then tried evolution x and havoc os. I experienced the same issues on all of them. Could it be firmware related? Any help would be appreciated, been dealing with for months. I'm hoping someone has experienced this.

Phone info pic attached.

1. BT.... When I connect to my car or any other speaker /earbuds my phone seems to enter a phone call which in turns mites my music. On my car it either shows my own number or a random 100000000 number. I have to hang it up then I get music back. It doesn't happen every single time but way too often.

2. After a few days my phone will stop waking up. When I double tap the screen or push the power button nothing happens. I have to force reboot the phone. I know it's not "frozen" as I'm still active on wifi. View attachment 5039647
