[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marginean.m:
First of all (just to be sure that I am clear enough), as I mentioned in my post #27, all the credits for this app goes to DupinBJK. Second, Yes, you are right about the FULL QWERTY problem. This happens because the app is intended for the HTC Touch HD wich has a QVGA display (not VGA like Diamond) this is also why all the keyboards seem smaller. Anyways, I managed to make the FULL QWERTY work once before (when I first install EzInput on my ppc) by installing GYRATOR 2 [this is an application that allows you to change the orientation of the screen from portrait to landscape using the gravity sensor - preaty nice app,by the way. You can google it,I don't have the link at hand now...]. afterwards you just set the COMPACT QWERTY as your default input in portrait mode and when you turn your device in landscape mode and the screen rotates too. The keyboard input will change automatically from COMPACT to FULL QWERTY. This worked for me then (with small bugs,but it worked!) but today when I tryed again did not work. The fact is that I use a coocked ROM and it's also preaty messed up right now,so this may also count. You should try this on your device,maybe you'll get lucky - in software world these kind of things happen all the time :)

Thanks for your answer :) At least I understand why it is not working.

Again many thanks for support and sharing the cabs with me.

up

yes i am romanian ... I don't want 3rd party applications... i want original oem-like t9 so I can set it up in my keyboard settings... I want to mainly use it with the phone key pad keyboard. I know there is a romanian t9 for smartphone wich i had personaly used it before (on a qtek 8500) ... and if there is someone skilled out there to make it work on diamond.

The 200 euros offer is still on. Any one ?

HELP t9 croatian

Please can someone help me and tell me if there is way to put t9 croatian. please HELP!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Aranbas:
Ja isto trazim t9 na hrvatskom kako ga instalirati, tek san danas saznao za forum pa me zanima jeste li u meduvremenu ista uspjeli. Spasite izludit cu bez T9 na hrv.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DupinBJK:
There's no hardware phone keypad on the Diamond, so you must be talking about the HTC EzInput keyboard. Is it that, what you define as "original oem-like t9" ?

The only T9 files that can be added to both the standard keyboard and the HTC one come from Tegic. The dictionary is available, but all the other files must be created from scratch.

Since no one has ever donated a buck for each of the special keyboards created for the missing languages in the HTC offer, I wonder why your offer should be regarded as different. It has always ended in a "I'm going to donate !" and after the download - nothing.

Romanian T9 on HTC Jade with French ROM

I have installed the scond cab only. After that, I have modified a key in the registry. I've restarted the device. And it works.

So, I don't need Ezikeybord in order to use Romanian T9.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rockado:
Here the complete path in the registry.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] brdaric:
Does this work on Touch Diamond 2 aswell?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] brdaric:
It does work (on TouchDiamond2). Just install the second cab and modify the registry as described above by rockado.

There is just one little inconvenient: It only works on 'compact QWERTY' or 'phonepad' keyboard setting.

I personally consider that using the dictionary with the keyboard set to phonepad is a lot faster than typing all the letters in a word with the 'full QWERTY' setting.

On the 'full QWERTY' Keyboard setting, the phone will only insert blank spaces (just as it would be writing with a white colored font on a white background).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] V@no:
Hello.

This is utterly the most annoying thing I've ever experienced. I'm using the phone, scrolling, typing, and all of the sudden it shows lock screen, it happens even if my finger touching the screen!

View attachment 5069709

Smart Lock is enabled for several BT devices, but none are connected, trusted place is set and I'm currently in it.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Trusted place doesn't always work 100%... try expanding the trusted area or make additional ones. I have 2 for my home that slightly overlap each other.

To troubleshoot if possible see if the issue happens when trusted place is not enabled but trusted Bluetooth devices is enabled and a trusted device is connected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] V@no:
My understanding smart lock should automatically unlock the device, not lock it up....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
That's not how it works exactly.

As for this particular function of Smart Lock (it's also used for remembering passwords for apps/websites) will keep the device unlocked when it is in a "trusted location", and/or connected to a "trusted device" and/or when it is inside your pocket... In other words (for clarity's sake) if it's within a user-defined radius of a physical location like a home or business, when it is connected to a Bluetooth device (i.e. like a pair of headphones you use for walking or at the gym or inside your car with a bluetooth radio) or when it is inside your pocket.

Now while Smart Lock will keep the phone unlocked in a trusted location (or while connected to a trusted device, or in pocket) it will automatically lock the phone after 4 hours of being idle.

I have noticed on multiple brands of phones that smart lock is not without it's quirks. The "trusted place" setting relies on the ability to determine your location to be within what you have set as the trusted place. Since all GPS device are infallible, on occasion your phone may detect your location to be outside of the trusted location your actually at. This is why I suggest setting more then one trusted place for a location or else, as this has worked for me in the past without issue.

Personally I do not use Smart Lock with trusted place because of it's quirks... It is easier for me to just unlock the phone with my fingerprint.

I really wish Google would add an unlock when connected to a certain WiFi as I find that works the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
I would hope not... Sure it might work, but it's not very secure and incredibly risky.

It's extremely easy for someone to create a WiFi access point and use the same SSID in order to collect user data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] V@no:
I've disabled trusted place, it still does this. But I might have found the bastard that screwing with smart lock - powerwatch2. I removed it from smart lock, so far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sansnil:
I was thinking of locking it to the WiFi router MAC address not the SSID which would made it reasonably secure at least for my purposes. To your point someone could always spoof the MAC address if determined enough so not high security.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveRiley:
You can create a Bixby routine for this.

How To

[Installation]

Assuming you unlocked your bootloader and have TWRP

IF WIPED SYSTEM/USING AOSP/WANT TO ENABLE SECOND SIM ON G8141

Flash This with a newflasher

CONTINUE:

P.S. Keep a TWRP backup of stock rom on your phone, so you won't need to use newflasher again.

Install this on top of the stock/stock based rom (like Tomahawk Project)

Don't forget factory reset!

Links:

AFH

GDRIVE

CONTINUE:

[Freedom of choice]

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY:

Keep it simple, without ROOT

Install F-Droid and explore open source world. Download APK and send it to your device. I removed browser, pick your own :)

At your own risk:

If you want download apps from playstore anonymously, try Aurora Store

Want to get accurate Network location and some of the Google apps working properly, then install this Magisk Module

To get Network Location working, signature spoofing is needed. You'll need this or this edXposed module

If you think my work was for nothing:

Install Gapps and never visit this thread again

Privacy made Easier

Let's find a balance between security and ability to use apps which we have to.

Most of us have people who use messengers we don't trust, but we still need to communicate with those people.

Another CONCERN is a fact that most of the apps rely on google for push notifications. Google get all the content, no matter how secure your messenger is.

If you don't have Google Services, then you have problems with notifications. Here MicroG will help us.

So, let's make a secure environment for apps we use, but don't trust. :cool:

You gonna need:

This rom installed

Magisk + "microG installer Revived"

Shelter

View attachment 5069885

Let's do it!

Open Shelter app and let it create work profile.

Then you need to make sure install some apps in there:

If you install Aurora Store inside Shelter it will allow to easily manage apps from Play Store.

You can clone magisk to shelter( enable multi user in the main app first, then clone) and install firewall inside the shelter.

Update:

Another way is to install vpn inside shelter and enable kill switch. So apps inside shelter only won't have internet access unless you enable VPN.

I use protonvpn, it give 3 countries for free and it's more than enough for average user.

Beware that when VPN is outside of the shelter, on the mainland, apps on shelter will bypass it, so you need to have clients on both. You may have 2 different VPN clients enabled if you need to.

View attachment 5069887

What do we get?

See "Contacts" and "Files"?

Those are seperate from the mainland, so you can just add your relatives' phone numbers and WhatsApp will only see those.

We are LIMITING ACCESS TO FILES AND CONTACTS.

Plus we can easily freeze those apps, or limit connectivity with a firewall, or vpn.

Result:

You can use apps, that brings vulnerabilities or privacy concerns in a locked,controlled environment.

Still receive notifications without sending them to Google.

Or you can try VMOS, at your own risk of course :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Doom Slayer:
Short message for each of you.

This rom is a result of a project which aim to strip android back to it's core, so WE CAN BUILD IT THE WAY WE WANT IT. Not the way market researchers say we want it.

In short, this ROM is a prototype of community communication device.

Everyone can join the digital freedom project. I am sure each of us can help a cause.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Doom Slayer:
Not real,but VM

If you set "apply on boot", you will notice that boot animation will become smaller ,but it's the same trickery as adb commands.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] undefine:
g8141 does not work, reboots right after sony logo no bootanimation.

p.s. flashed over .107 stock rom with twrp 3.2.3-0

edit: installation guide is a bit vague, do we MUST flash this? https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261694774

It says

IF WIPED SYSTEM/USING AOSP/WANT TO ENABLE SECOND SIM ON G8141

but I didn't wiped system nor using aosp nor want to enable second sim

second edit: Needs few reboots before booting to system, seems to work like intended.

Some suggestions:

Please find a solution to Automatic reboot when sim tray is removed, since I don't use dual sim and switch SD cards frequently it gets frustrating so fast. Thanks in advance.

Qualcomm Device Security still persists on this rom, it has an apk under vendor\app\QualcommTelemetry(?)

Video Enhancement is not working, at least on settings preview.

VERY USEFUL

: Show charging current on lock screen, existenz rom had it.

Dark/Full Black System theme
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] undefine:
Boot time is unacceptable, it takes around 2 minutes for normal boot, whereas even in a bloated stock it took around 30~ seconds. It is due to your framework changes and deodexing. However, I've been able to restore optimal boot time by changing all frameworks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Doom Slayer:
[MENTION=8717070]undefine[/MENTION],

Yeah, boot time is longer because because of deodexing. Frameworks are untouched though in this rom.

If you want Video Enhancements, then you need to go back to android 8 and istall drm patch.... Since they fixed the camera on Pie nobody really bothers with other drm related things...

Agree on the dual sim reboot thing, it's annoying, but I have no idea how to disable it for now. If you really don't need to dual sim functionality then you can try flashing this rom on top of G8141 version and make sure you got kernel as well.

Theme is overlay, adding functionality to the lock-screen require modifying services.jar to disable signature (super user mod), both are security risks... You may flash existenz on top and remove what you don't need. At your own risk of course
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] undefine:
I think boot time is not because frameworks are changed but some are missing, I just reflashed with everything in stock framework folder, it seems to be blazing fast as normal. I'm actually surprised it booted that fast even with Deodex.

As far as I remember Video Enhancements worked on stock 9 at least on my device, I have my drm keys though since I waited for a proper ta backup. However it is not a must feature either.

I'd rather flash opengapps full package than flashing existenz over this rom :D. I will look into some other tricks for showing charge current, maybe some xposed module exists?

Anyway, thanks for your contribution to this device. Cleanest stock rom I've ever used (besides one bloat called Qualcomm Device Security which I immediately removed).

[MENTION=4975763]stsdema28[/MENTION] Great post! Do you know how I can calibrate white balance in pro mode? I have seen the adjust button in P mode for white balance but how do I get it right? In Photo Pro auto mode, photos look red-ish to me.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] stsdema28:
I am not sure what you mean/expect when you are saying "how can I calibrate WB". White balance can be different even between two clicks in the same scene when the light changes significantly. So there isn't a concept of calibrating the WB of the camera once so it can be right every time. What you can do is to adjust WB every time based on the scene. Another option is to adjust WB in post processing (this is what I usually do when I shoot with my DSLR, but I shoot RAW).

Back to the Xperia, I usually use AWB but I tried some of the predefined options (cloudy, daylight, incandescent etc) and they were quite accurate. Did you try any of them? It's important to choose the right option for the scene.

short article about WB: https://www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/setting-white-balance.html (it's by Nikon, but it doesn't really matter)

If you are not happy with the predefined options, you can try to set and use one of the custom options but you need to remember that it would be valid/correct only for the scene you set it for. Check the following video how you can do that: https://youtu.be/ehK8zJ2up98?t=454 (I set the exact moment he describes the WB options)
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] billybobjones:
one of the reasons I was looking at this phone is because sony mentions its supposed to be good at capturing motion shots. How is it in your experience? Is it as good as the pixel in being able to capture a motion shot with one snap in auto?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] stsdema28:
The motion feature of pixel has nothing to do with burst shooting.

The Xperia 1 ii can shoot up to 20fps with autofocus and auto exposure. It's all about capturing the right photo. You can see the burst shooting in the following videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQEXla29P9A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVJtmP8Ckfg

The motion feature in pixels (or similar feature in other apps) captures several frames or a short video with sound before and after you take a photo. The idea here is to capture additional material to accompany the photo for future reference with the aim to help the user to recall that moment.

So, it depends what you are looking for. There is no other phone that is able to shoot 20fps with autofocus and auto exposure (as far as I know). But given that you referred to pixel's feature, I guess you are looking for "motion" photos.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Geoffxx:
the difference is video frames vers 20 actual full res photos

and there is a huge difference
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] billybobjones:
sorry i meant a moving object. for example a dog running or a bicyclist or a kid running. with a pixel you can take 1 shot and get a good photo. With other smartphones when you take one photo you usually get a blurry mess. How is the sony?

[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] starepiernikowe:
my thoughts

This is very faithful review by stsdema28, great job thank you.

I have come to the same conclusion as stsdema28 while testing it.

I have my xperia 1II for a week now and after testing it I'm sure that I made a good chose buying it.

There are some things that are important to me while taking pictures with a phone and I like to share them with you.

First of all I think that main camera app does amazing job in recognising scenes, focus, white balance, it's reliable.

It's fast and convenient; for me, I don't see s reason to use Pro app.

In my opinion using Pro is good for RAW output if someone needs it.

I personally have used raw in cameras for years but I consider it a waste of time for me right now.

Main camera app also in my opinion has flawless noise reduction, jpg's from Pro mode have different noise reduction; more looking like "alfa" camera output.

So, what is important for me with this camera phone:

-all 3 cameras output same resolution 12mpix photos

-colours are true to life on all 3 cameras and they remain the same on each one of them

-auto white balance is correct in different scenes where I had problems before with my Huawei p30pro

-pictures have natural look, not overprocessed

-there are no artifacts when the light is to bright on a shiny surface and around red light sources in the dark

-glow around light sources look natural like from a real camera, don't know if this is due to good optics or the lens coating

When it comes to video all that I can really say is that I have no complaints and find it very high quality.

What I need to point out is audio quality which is on par with video quality.

Wind noise filter does awesome job, all that is left of wind in strong wind; is something like old low bitrate mp3 artifacts but very faint.

Sound positioning is very good too.

Selfie camera take sharp shots, no artifacts in bright light, I almost never use it, but if I did; I would be happy with the results.

Thx
