[LG G8 Questions & Answers] DJW35:
I got a Verizon G8, it's been updated and everything to Android 10, has desktop mode, beautiful screen, great cameras, it's fast, battery life is good. The LG G8 is very under rated.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

It has a lot more than that going for it. Top of the line specs, ip68, wireless charging, SD card, the last flagship with a headphone jack and a duel dack for fantastic sound. 2k screen, what more you want from a phone?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] runderekrun:
I just want a smooth experience. You're right, wireless charging and water proof are a nice feature that I've used but my essential phone was way faster than this phone. So many hitches and slow transitions with the software. Ok Google detection going in and out. Camera being so slow to load often making me miss what I was trying to take a picture of. The list just goes on and on. The software just sucks

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
How is it not an option then? If you have an exploitable firmware version
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] spizzlo:
I have a G8 through Xfinity and I think it's pretty great. I have always had phones that could be rooted and ROM'd, but I don't really miss it. The quad dac is awesome, it's fast, every game I've tried works great, and I get updates all the time. I just got one today. G820QM520i. June security update. I think even at $400 this phone isn't a bad value, especially depending on where you live.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
You can root though. But since you've done all the updates (I'm assuming the one today was may or June patch), you can only do it if you had a kdz available for your model. But I'm pretty sure all the qm ones do, so go for root if you'd like
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] runderekrun:

Hi,

I have cooked my own ROM for my Kaiser - so far so good.

Under \windows\startup I have some *.lnk so that these programs are started during the boot process.

Unfortunately after installing Goodlink one of my programs under startup does not start any longer.

Does someone knows how to install a programm as a service on WM6.1 ?

Any help?
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Nirraw:
The output from the headphones is very low even if kept on full volume . I was using oppo f9 pro without any Dolby Atmos in it but still the output quality and sound was just up to the next level and m using same Sony in ear sports edition expensive headphones with X2 pro however very very disappointed . I think we should report this to realme and ask them to fix it in their next software update coz it's a Flagship device from realme and they have priced it close to OnePlus 7 series. I still regret not buying OnePlus 7 just to save some bucks.
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] revanth. 2696:
Bought this street using the k20 pro. The audio at high volume has a lot of distortion and disturbance. Is it a software glitch? If so, can someone tell me how to solve this?
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] seifed:
Amplifier sucks here, that's all. It's the same story with all these mid-range phones and budget flagships. They may have kept the headphone jack, but it's essentially useless for anybody who cares even a little bit about sound quality.

Get a $30 dongle and move on.
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] nayneshdev:
Contrarry to what you guys report. I am using Poweramp, with equalizer tweaked to my likings, output from the 3.5mm jack is phenomenal. I am using signature acoustics c12 with high res wav and flac file formats..cant comment about Atmos but yes the volume is just about adequate, not low but certainly not loud..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deusxanthus:
Hey team,

Long time forum creeper and general tech hacker / fiddler. I don't generally post on forums but I'm hoping to nab some suggestions. Done a fair lot of looking already, but either turning up stones / outdated info / things that just aren't applicable to me.

Been looking to get Snapchat (and other stubborn apps similar) logged in on my device, honestly I don't even really use it and it's turned into more of a challenge getting it to run at this point because instead of thinking if I should I'm fixated more with the idea of proving that I could.

The phone is rooted, yes I know I could un-root it, stock rom, blah blah, but where is the fun in that? :D

Anywho the setup is as follows.

Galaxy S10+ SM-975F (Exynos)

Lineage OS 17.1 (Custom rom found here)

I have TWRP in as a recovery, phone is rooted with Magisk and it runs MicroG.

I have signature spoofing working with EdXposed (FakeGapps) and funnily enough I pass SafetyNet (lol I know, wassup google)

(HiddenCore for Xposed helps with this for those who seem to be struggling with newer devices)(Google is your friend "sometimes")

Now, I've done the obvious and sorted out Magisk hide, I've also tried RootCloak for Xposed with no success, again done the obvious install / reinstall / clear app data storage etc etc.

Does anyone have any ideas about what further detection methods they are employing? You'd think hiding root and passing SafetyNet would do it, but noooooo.

NB: In before It's some silly app I've left installed it doesn't like.

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :D:D

Warden
​

Disclaimer:

Warden uses root permission to enable/disable components & de-bloat.
Use at your own risk!

Features:

Detects Trackers & Loggers across whole device

Allows to disable all trackers/loggers

Advance profile based app de-bloater

How does it work?

Warden has a static curated list of known trackers (Exodus Privacy) , each app's dex file is read to retrieve the class names, these class names are then matched with the signatures of known trackers & loggers to find them.

A list of currently known trackers & loggers can be found here & here

Loggers in the context of Warden means all utilities which are used to log user activity on an app or logcat in general. Not all loggers are evil.

But few logging tools like ACRA, xLog are very powerful tools that can send user data to devs without user's consent.

So do read the app's Privacy Policy, beforehand.

De-Bloater (Requires Root)

Warden provides a profile based de-bloater where a profile is created in a format specified as in this sample scripts

You need to place this profile/your custom profile at `ExternalStorage/Warden/Profiles` to make them appear in app.

De-Bloater is an experimental feature, will improve it over time.

Default action for debloating is 'disable' you can configure it to 'uninstall' or 'hide' from settings.

Nuke it! (Requires Root)

Nuke it! is another experimental feature that scans all apps on the device and disables all know tracker components automatically.

It also gives an option to export components names per-app basis.

Components here means: Activities, Services, Providers & Receivers

Warden uses `su pm` to manage the components.

Not on SD card but internal storage. Than in Warden tap menu->labs->debloat and chose profile to apply.

I'm already using adaway.

So does this app so more than adaway?

Could someone please help me out here.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] drnightshadow:
Read OP. Logers and trackers are not same as ads. Apps can have hardcoded IPs of ads, logers, trackers, etc. Adaway can't help you with this. Apps like Warden or XPrivacyLua can help you by stopping "evil" actions in apps like apps from Google store.

Good luck.

Thank you for this very useful app! I've noticed that during the scan /data/data/com.aurora.warden/cache/oat folder becomes huge with a bunch of odex files. Scanning for nearly 200 apps takes more than a GB on that folder, before getting stuck on VLC. Is this normal?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lugh:
Hi,

So this his my problem:

I use a french LG KS20 (SFR) with tomtom 6, so as every body i have sound cut problems.

For this i use a freehand car kit, a CK3000 Evolution and it works fine.

Well... not really fine... the problem now is the disconnection time to parrot device!

When the voice start to speech, there's no problem, the ck3000 start immediately some times it just cut half a word... but when the speech stops there is a timeout about 15-20 seconds before the device disconnection and the back to the radio.

Does anybody knows an issue to decrease the disconnection time out?

I tried to look for the same problem on forum but found nothing about that....

Many thanks for your help,

and sorry for my my poor English... :-)

Naviagation on KS20?

I wonder how anyone use a navigation software on this 'accident of a device'.

I tryed all, Tomtom, Navigon and all the others in multible versions and no one of them works. The only navi works on my ks20 is igo. What am I doing wrong?

If I install Tomtom, I cant activate bluetooth anymore (not enough drivermemory). Navigon freezes and the third one I cant remember.

By the way, pocketmusic also freezes a lot of times (newest version) and the camera often doesnt work (not enough memory, but no programs opened). It is the 5th KS20 and all the time only problems and nothing works. Every day I can reset it 3 times.

I wonder that other people have problems like this. What did I do so wrong?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lugh:
About tomtom, it's because you use tomtom 7. I had the problem and have to make a hard reset to correct the problem. For my part i use TT6 and it works fine with a handsfree kit or with tomtom fix patch (well, i read it but never try). For the rest i haven't any prolem with my Ks20 (my ROM is v10f) exept with "spb backup" wich make freeze the device any times i try to restore datas. Maybe you may try this ROM if you haven't....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nightcookie:
Thought my KS20 was working nicely so far... but just tried a demo run with Navigon 5 and it stalled on the easiest of routes.

Will try again tomorrow with an actual run on the road and see how that goes ... :sceptical:

KS20 Navigation workaround

Well ...

did my trial on the road, and hey presto: No navigation commands, no speech output - stalled at the first command and only resumed when I closed MN5.

However, people at ppc-welt.info have suggested a workaround: Keep the sound output busy (with a dummy silent file in media player) and it should work.

Attached "dummy.mp3" provided by Lindi. Check this link if you can read German, there's a Mortscript to start playback automatically with your navigator, too.

http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=122709

Will let you know when I've tried.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andapo:
You can try also the SRS WOW HD audio driver. Download it from here:

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-srs-wow-hd-sound-driver.html

With this driver destinator navigation program (which has the same audio cuts with Tom Tom) works fine. Unfortunately the overall max volume of the mobile is lower. For this reason download the following file and copy it into the Windows directory

http://rapidshare.com/files/132814324/WOWHD_ARM_Panel.cpl.html

Don't forget to reset your device in order to enable the driver. Now go to the SRS WOW Settings and in the second page (TruBass) set the Input Gain and the Output Gain to zero. Now the max volume of the device will be back to normal (and maybe higher) and the navigation program may works fine. Just try it. ;)

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] DMedina559:
I been trying to flash some system images I find on the treble forum and nothing is flashing.

My bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted with magisk

Whenever I run "fastboot erase system" I get a permission denied error and doing "fastboot format system" I get an error about a raw filesystem

Trying to flash an image without wiping I get an error about resizing the system partition.

Am I doing something wrong? It's been years since I've tinkered with Android so I'm out of the loop on Android's dynamic partitioning etc etc

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] DMedina559:
for anyone wondering, i just figured it out, the moto g stylus has 2 fastboot modes? one is the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) and the other is fastbootd (adb reboot fastboot)

booting into fastbootd solved my flashing and wiping issues
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] ilia3367:
Yes. The Android 10 has a new fastbootd mode.

You can enter it with a command

adb reboot fastboot

You can try to install the Treble image through it. Because in Android 10 there is a new physical partition super.img, which contains three logical partitions - vendor.img, system.img and product.img.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] DMedina559:

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] Nimbul:
Same boat. Bootloop if I try to get it to start unencrypted. Booting at least once into a clean boot, then flashing without formatting first let me patch magisk. Have a suspicion the phone isn't too happy about being unecrypted.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bobshaniqua:
I've been taking some 3840x2160 screenshots on my PC and transferring them to my phone uncompressed. They look really good when i look at them on screen through the gallery: Nice detail, sharp lines etc.

The images are taken in portrait so that when I download them onto my phone, I can rotate them 90 degrees so they fit the screen properly.

The problem is when I go to set the image as a wallpaper, the image becomes compressed ever so slightly. The once smooth lines are now noticeably jagged, even though there seems to be no stretching or scaling of the image. I am able to zoom in to the image to the exact same scale in the gallery and everything seems fine.

To me, there must some kind of process that is converting the image to a lower resolution or compressing the image in some way. My question is how do I stop it so the wallpaper looks nice and sharp.

Anyone know what is going on here who can tell me how I can prevent this?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dev Saxena:
+1
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
You've answered this yourself.

Your image is 2160p

The screen is 1440p

Or 1080p if like me you've realised that's m that it's virtually impossible to tell the difference and it's a negligible visual benefit for a significant battery hit.

So resize the image based on the screen you want to use or the phone will do it for you.

Depending on the launcher you're using you it may actually have a size limit and resolution so there should be they to take into account too.

Start by finding out what resolution you're using then get an image for it off the same resolution
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bobshaniqua:
I did some additional research into the issue.

The oneplus 8 pro is 3168x1440. It is perfectly capable of displaying a 3840x2160 image with no significant loss of quality. I was able to zoom the image in the photo gallery to cover the entire display (as a wallpaper would) and found the image still looked crisp as it should, yet setting it as a wallpaper caused quality loss despite scaling the same. Clearly the issue was to do with the wallpaper scaling process in android (what the exact issue is i am not sure).

Nevertheless, i downloaded an app from the playstore that was able to fix the issue. The app is called Image 2 Wallpaper on the playstore.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GICK123:
hi all,

I need to reinstall the firmware on an Archos 101 gen8 tablet. Seemed straightforward but now I'm stuck at the very last step:

1) download "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" from Archos homepage -> ok

2) boot into recovery menu -> ok

3) select "Update Firmware" -> ok

4) connect to PC via USB and copy "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" to A101IT -> ok

5) press "ok" on the A101IT to start update -> ok
​

But now I'm stuck: after step 5 the screen just shows "Please connect DC-in to update your device", even though the original power supply is connected. Disconnecting and reconnecting DC-in didn't help, and also an additional USB connection to the PC doesn't change anything. Any idea?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Georg

PS: I just checked the voltage of the power supply. The label says "5V / 2A", but I measure ~6V (without load). Is this normal and could this cause the problem? After all, the supply is almost 10 years old...
