Hi in your opinion

1) is it possible defrag diamond internal storage?

2)what is teh tool to use?

3) anyone have already done it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R. DevilR:
1) Backup on your PC all datas stored in your Internal Storage (connect your Diamond to your PC and copy/paste)

Format your internal storage.

Restore your data on your PPC (copy/paste).

2) see above... your hand :D

3) never do it... because no need to... I'm not a specialist, but I always thought that flash memories don't fragment themself... so... no need ^_^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Antimus:
Also depending on the storage type, it may have a maximum number of writes, in which case, defragging will take a chunk of them

Pocket Mechanic Pro

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DomXDA:
I did it using Pocket Mechanics Pro; all perfect, no problem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SamLowrie111:
Please prove me wrong, but IMHO there is no much sense in defragmenting a flash card. The access-time to every sector is equal and therefore it does not matter if a file resides in contiguous clusters or is spread all over the chip. I read the explanations on the wizcode product page but it sounds like pointless marketing droid text. It only applies to harddisks with mechanical parts where it does indeed matter.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TheBrit:
Don't do it. Flash memory has a finite (but a very large number) of read/write cycles and therefore 'wears out'. Defragging will only accelerate this process and it will have no benefit anyway, as already stated by Sam Lowrie.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
wrong. read my related articles and benchmarks; e.g. http://www.pocketpcmag.com/old_blog...n_the_effects_of_fragmen&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
the wizcode folks are wrong. I, along with a lot of geeks, have actually run a lot of tests. just read the articles linked to from my article above
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
don't be afraid of this. it's just ONE write cycle per each memory unit (if at all).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shakespeare:
How did you manage to defrag the internal storage? I used Pocket Mechanics Pro but the program restrict defragmentation of internal storage as "low level access is not available".
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] jacktackle:
Hi guys

Oppo does not allow cross flashing?

I have Europe model 1919 EX 11.A it does not allow me to flash India firmwares whic is 11.C

It says you have newest version when I know I have older version.

Any clue????
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] moozer:
UK here. Flashed firmware available in Russia...twice.

Currently on C.27
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] jacktackle:
I will try again when color os 7.1 releases that it might see as new version.

Trying Indian firmware only because of a thought that, themes might work
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] squallho1:
If you check the ROM download links at Oppo support of various regions, all global version (CPH1919EX, CPH1919TW etc.) actually shares the same ROM.

Region specific features are enabled / disbaled by checking the internal ID of the phone that is not user adjustable.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] moozer:
Sure themes is only available for Chinese model
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] dryspuri:
I am in India, i think if you change region to India, themes app will appear.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] jacktackle:
Themes app do appear but download link is missing
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] dryspuri:
Here in India, i am struggling to find a single theme which is free, there comes two options either buy and try and buying currency is INR, may be that is problem.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] moozer:
Where do they appear?
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] mohitgalaxy3:
Except 2 universal theme all other themes are useless in my opinion...they just set wallpaper and few oppo app icons.

For free themes u can go to youtube and type themes for oppo and follow their method.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] salve.ardilla:
Hello everyone!

I'm here looking for some help, after going around several web pages (and this forum) trying to find a solution to bring my P10 leica back to life without much success. I must start by saying that I'm an absolute beginner at messing with ROMs, fastboot, recovery, TWRP, and other things I came across while trying to shed a light here so please be patient.

I put in the title that everything happened after a security update that was installed via OTA because it's the only thing that happened yesterday that was different from previous days, but in fact between that update (which was installed at noon) and the moment the phone stopped responding there were several hours of normal use.

So last night I grabbed the phone from a table and found it completely dead. I tried to turn it on and there was no way to do so. Strange because the battery was decently charged and I never had a similar problem before. I plugged it into the wall charger thinking that maybe the battery could have somehow run out, the HUAWEI logo came up on the screen but it flashed every 2 seconds as a kind of a bootloop, and it didn't go any further. Also, the phone doesn't seem to charge even if I left it plugged in for a thousand hours, and the led is off all the time. In fact, if it is not plugged either to the charger or to the computer through the USB cable, it is completely dead.

I was unable to access to recovery or eRecovery or ANYTHING. All the combinations of the power vol+vol- keys do absolutely nothing, the huawei logo keeps reappearing over and over again to infinity or well, till the battery drains out I guess.

To see if I could use HiSuite to bring it back to life or at least backup my stuff I unplugged it from the wall charger and plugged it into the computer with the USB cable, no luck with HiSuite but then the vol-/power button combination finally worked and it entered in fastboot & rescue mode.

On the screen it read:

Android reboot reason:

COLDBOOT 16

PMU_VSYS_PWROFF_ABS

NA

volumnkey_down_press_process_func

PHONE locked

FRP locked

And here I get stuck. At this point I don't even hope to retrieve my stuff, I only want it to turn on again...

Please, any suggestions on how to revive it?

(In case this involves installing things using a computer I just want to say that I don't use Windows, only Mac or Ubuntu)

Thank you for your time and I hope someone can help me!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jasjamming:
As the title suggests, B???k = BLACK

Black will be back for the Raphael. Ive had time off from xda-devs (busy with career and simply drinking) but now as soon as the Raphael lands in my palms you will also get your hands on the dark flavour of HTC rom development.

I wont be releasing ROMS on a daily basis, but more sparingly with the latest releases and of course surprises. Once a ROM is released, feedback will be gathered over a period of time before a revision is made available. Lets remember to also use our devices for what they are for, and that is not flashing them everyday unless you are extremely bored.

FADE TO BLACK

​

coming soon to the Raphael

​

Now all i need is the raphael.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mrvanx:
Welcome back sir!!

Yep i think we need some WM Black action again :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Johnston411:
That's music to my ears.

Welcome back JJ

Looking forward to the roms. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] posershadow:
Can't wait, I remember the Hermes ROMs, I thought we had lost a legend when you left, but now that you're back, looks like I will have to buy a Touch Pro when they release.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tramuyo:
RAPHAEL SHADOW OF THE DAY

it could be a nice name:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jasjamming:
i tend to name the roms after metal songs, metallica springs to mind this time. i.e. Fade to Black http://www.imeem.com/diane-ebbers/music/G7nSDc7m/metalica_fade_to_black/
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mrvanx:
OK then dude, howz about "WM6.1 BLACKENED?"
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] neorder:
Welcome back black shark!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] WDawn:
Ok, this announcement made me decide to buy the Raphael instead of the Omnia or Xperia :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] schizo:
Hi JJ. Have been lurking around since your Hermes time. Welcomeback ^_^

I want one too of course, but i think the price is an overkill for me. Around $1000? Geezzz... Think i must wait until it dropped into 700-800 level (such as my current Kaiser), or else my wife will kill me. LoL =D Well, see you around 4-5 months from your firsthand to Raphael then =)

As for Metallica theme, I guess your nick should be changed to "Master of Puppets", who control the realm of the "Blackened" with has neverending "Fade To Black" twilight season :D

Please feel open to let us be your "Friend of Misery", Master.

"Hit the Lights" and then "Jump In The Fire"! "Carpe Diem, Baby!". Yeahhh...!!!!

Black was the first rom I flashed. Can't wait to see you tear it up again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Lord_BlackAdder:
I spoke to Telstra yesterday and the rep said they have Diamond on stock now. He didn't have any info on Touch Pro yet. I don't know if I can hold on much longer.

JJ, do you know when Touch Pro will land Oz? If it is soon, I will wait. Otherwise, I have to jump to Diamond instead.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shanetheclassic:
Ever since you're ROMS for the Hermes, nothing has been as good

Even Duttys Kaiser ROMS were not even close

I'll be switching to T-Mobile when the Vario/Raphael comes out, and now I'm in the 'Can't Wait" status simply because of this awesome news

It is true, Once you go black, You never go back...In a HTC phone ROM sense lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lewcamino:
Seriously. There was only one really stable ROM for Kaiser. Q-mobile 1.2 and then he vanished... Maybe Q-mobile was really Jas in disguise? eh?

Jas you should make a ROM for AT&T Tilt to give the US people something good to work with until we get a Touch Pro over here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] johanromijn:
I almost agree with you. I loved Q-Mobile 1.2 too!

But I guess you've never tried udK Vega ROM, it's as stable and fast as Q-Mobile, but it's a WM6.1 ROM.

You should really give it a try!

On topic:

Today I reveived my Touch PRO, waiting for the first cooked ROM to flash!

If the performance will improve the same as with a Kaiser cooked ROM, my Raphael is going to be very fast! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shanetheclassic:
lookin to sell me your kaiser?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lewcamino:
I am selling mine. PM me.

most welcomed come-back JJ ...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] da_jojo:
welcome back mate :)

and make that : blackened :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jasjamming:
well. i guess the black rom for the raphael, from today, is vapourware.

after a long time s60 user before WM5/6, i bought a Nokia E71 yesterday (in which i may add is unbelievable right out of the box) after giving it a test run and really opening my eyes as to how usable it is as well as its performance spec (gps, wifi, hsdpa, etc....)

therefore, ill be lurking around here but wont be contributing anything to the rapheal any time soon.

BTW: ive already hacked it up
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] da_jojo:
sorry to hear mate

you'd be better off with a n95 8gb though.. if u really have the need for a nokia .. like that one.. the n70 series are pretty faulty ..

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Mellow971:
Hi everyone

Did anyone notice that since Android 10, tethering a 5Ghz hotspot is no longer available ?

On my phone the option to change from 2,4Ghz is greyed out in hotspot settings ! :(

And also it seems to me that we could manualy set WiFi chanel before... No ? :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] xbs:
Works fine here.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Mellow971:
Ok, I found this :

https://piunikaweb.com/xiaomi-devices-wont-support-5ghz-wi-fi-hotspots-band-1-in-many-regions

According to this, it shouldn't work in Portugal, but it dates from december 2018, and laws may have changed.

But here in Guadeloupe (France) I know it still worked at the beginning of this year (on Android 9)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] xbs:
Never noticed not working...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Mellow971:
Well, I investigated a little :

When I restart the phone and go straight to hotspot settings (without activating it) the 5Ghz option is then available and I can select it.

But then when I activate 5Ghz hotspot it deactivates itself after about 2 seconds. :(

[Asus Fonepad 7] Noctriss:
Hello all.

I recently dug up my k012 to play around a bit with some app testing.

It was on android 4, rooted, and the android 5 update started to install, unfortunately, the update always ends up in an error.

I tried many things to solve this issue, my main problem is, fastboot is no longer accesible.

When i press my volume up and power button, the tablet powers up, displays the asus logo for 1 sec, and restars, after the restart it attempts to update the system again with the same error.

I have managed to get the usb mode to work by pressing the volume down button and powering thw device and i have tried using xfstk to try and load up the new software, however, after xfstk finihshes the job and i get the message reeboting to os, the tablet only displays the asus logo with a red line under it and i cannot boot into fastboot again.

I can only restart it into the system update loop, or the usb mode again.

Any help would be appreciated. I need a ver 4-5 android device for work to test apps, and this is my only device.

Than you all in advance :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] noddledizzy:
hmm It's been a months since I use US998 on oreo 20h but I have noticed that it had trouble multitasking. All the apps will refresh and lose whatever progress I am doing when I switch window. However, this is not present in T-mobile H932 running on stock OREO 20s. [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] Do you have an insight about this? I did everything you told me to months ago when installing US998 20h, I made sure to flash the previous versions before flashing 20h to avoid issues.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I'm on US998 20h and I am NOT seeing this. And I switch a lot back and forth between apps with texts open. For example, between Keep, XDA, Gmail, Timesheet (time tracking app) etc.

If you're in Battery Saver mode, Android is quicker to flush an app after the phone goes to sleep. But I use Battery Saver mode a lot, and even then I only experience it on things like UAPP (if I pause music playback and come back 15 mins later). And I could avoid it if by Excluding that app from Battery Saving, but of course it will use more battery then.

But it sounds like what you're seeing is more basic. Like something is hogging all the memory so that Android has to flush whenever you switch between apps.

Restart the phone if you haven't already (you probably have). If that doesn't fix it, you may have to do a Factory Reset (or TWRP wipe if you're rooted).

Maybe Chazz has other/better ideas.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] noddledizzy:
welp, I have already done a lot from completely removing battery saving entirely. I restarted and went to recovery to clear dalvik and cache. still nothing. It could be US Cellular giving US998 aids to my US998 . Remember how old US998 users like you and [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] is not having any trouble with US998 because you got your devices way back before US Cellular got hold of US998 . But someone like me who go it recently, had this app from Digital Turbine that install all kinds of crap in my phone is happening.

meanwhile, I am trying the T-mobile H932 20s port for US998. Because 20s works perfect on T-mobile H932. I really need a stable phone right now.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Actually I got my US998 just a few months ago, and it was on Pie when I got it. I rolled it back to Oreo after about a month. It has been clean flashed numerous times, both on Nougat and Oreo, and both as US998, H931 and H933.

I had an H932 for 2+ years before that, which I also kept on 20s.

But I never had the problem you describe on either phone or either ROM.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] noddledizzy:
[MENTION=832590]TheDannemand[/MENTION]

I finally figured out the problem days later. Because even after flasing the T-mobile port rom for US998, it still displayed it.

You suggesting that the memory is getting hogged really helped me diagnosed the problem. So I uninstalled some apps, and the culprit was Energized ad blocker from Magisk. I did remember that it warns you that if you used their ultimate pack, it might impact your performance. So yeah this is what causing issues for me on US998 stock rom and to now the T-mobile stock rom port for US998.

but.... oddly. I did not have this problem in my T-mobile H932 on 20s stock rom with Energized using ultimate pack. hmm does this mean that H932 is actually superior in performance than US998?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Glad you finally figured it out. I use AdGuard on mine and my wife's phone and free Blokada on my mother's.

The dev who rooted the T-Mobile H932 is of the opinion the US998 is better.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Yes, good detective work there. Glad you found the culprit.

I use Blokada with the Energized Blu list. Works well for me.

Generally speaking, US998 is a better device because it's not as locked down as H932. In the beginning, we thought H932 would be the most likely carrier model to get root because of its readily unlockable bootloader. But of course it turned out the opposite, thanks to WTF. H932 is easier bricked too. And don't even get me started with TMO's fascist SIM unlocking :rolleyes:

But when it comes to performance of the ROM itself, I can't say I noticed a difference once the bloat and tracking services are trimmed from each model. H932 has one more tracker than the others, while US998 has that nasty Mobile Services Manager, but both can be easily removed.

While I haven't compared the two side by side, I honestly don't think there is much difference in the core OS or how they are tuned. I could be wrong, of course.

I know with TF3DConfig you can add/remove programs from the Home screen, but with TF3D Off (therefore making TF3DConfig useless), all you'll get is the Today screen. My question is, how can I add program icons to the Today screen? The only thing i have on my today screen is Date and Messaging. How do I go about adding more programs like Opera, Notes, etc. onto the Today Screen?

Thank You. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dy2592:
you would have to pretty much install thrid party apps. There are a bunch of them so I wouldnt know where to start. Depending on your preferences, I'd start with SPB Software.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] michi123:
You can only add plugins to the today screen. Now there are many plugins available, where you can add programm shortcuts, quickdials, shortcuts to files etc. Search a bit! Amongst the best are SPBPocketPlus (unfortunately not compatible with WM6.1/Diamond yet), ILauncher from SBSH and many more......some even freeware.....

The search function in this forum is your friend, as is google or www.handango.com to get an idea of what´s available....
