Feature Request

Would it be possible to have nothing in the background at all?

Just a transparant form with the "Dots" to show how much you have left to unlock, no clock, no battery, etc.

I'm using throttle launcher for my today screen and I'd be happy seeing the it "through" Sunscape. Also Mobile shell users might appreciate this.

Entirly up to you. Just an idea :)

Keep up the great work.

Dave
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks and sorry for the late response! I see what you mean with making Sunscape see-through. By default .net Compact Framework doesn't support transparency yet it can be done by copying the screen beneath just like screenshot programs. The OSD-like idea is cool however, I think it would be too much of an overkill to run Sunscape just for the pressure points. I don't run any shells but I presume I won't use a screen locker if I do intend to use one. Most of them already come with their own screensaver...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
New update. This one adds help icons with help throughout Sunscape Config so you won't need to look them up in Sunscape.xml :-)

Initial post updated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveShaw:
Thanks for the response. Stupid .Net CF (cutdown framework) is missing every feature I need :D. I never thought to check.

If it's too much hard work then nevermind. It's just something I've seen asked in the S2U2 thread, right about the time MS2.1 came out. Then when I finally got TL working today, thought that it would be a nice feature in Sunscape, seen as though your are so active with the development :).

Dave
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Could you believe they included a control for, and I quote, "browse the internet in your form" but they didn't include a standard color picker (nor animations - yes, gifs don't work, nor transparency, nor etc..)? Pff...

Yep. Two requests already for Throttle Lock. I'm going to try to go the more general "gestures" way. That is, allow you to configure your own gesture to unlock Sunscape...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aqtrans:
Yes, gestures would be sweet. I just dabbled with ThrottleLock, and the point-code feature is pretty neat.

SevenRains:

I got regulate "OutOfMemoryException" lately...

I lost the Start Bar and I need to restart Sunscape to get it back...

Error remains even after a soft reset..

LG KS20 + .Net CF 3.5.7283.0

I'll try the last build 02092008

edit: same prob with last build, using config preview. even when i use .Net CF 2.0.7045.0 for Sunscape config/lock/unlock/.exe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hmm does this happen only with Sunscape config -> Preview?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] test0ns:
also on regular usage..

Sunscape is active and pwët! i've got the error message.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
So this happens just having Sunscape running too? Also, does it _always_ happen when running Sunscape Config -> Preview? Also, are you using the default Sunscape.xml with no modifications? Also, if you have customized your Sunscape.xml (either through Sunscape Config or directly) may I have a look at it?

Nasty leak somewhere, gotta find it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] test0ns:
My mistake!!!

My background image resolution was too big... Twice original one!...

Everything runs smooth once resized!

Sorry :^p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Lol ... where are those yahoo smileys with the guy rubbing the sweat off his forehead? :D

But it's good the subject was brought up. Maybe have some performance simulations in Sunscape Config... Also I've noticed Sunscape Lock takes ~600kb in memory. I don't like it... 600kb for an idle loop.... I'll see what I can do to lower the memory requirements.

SevenRains:

I love to see .net developers making "cool" applications, so thanks for doing this.

CF.NET can draw images with transparency, but it is not easy to do. You have to create an ImageAttributes object, set a color key on it, and then draw the image using that object.

This may not apply to your particular case, but I thought it might be worth mentioning. It took me forever to figure it out.

//Draw MyImage on the screen, taking the color of the top-left pixel and making it transparent,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageAttributes ia = new System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageAttributes();
ia.SetColorKey(MyImage.GetPixel(0, 0), MyImage.GetPixel(0, 0));
g.DrawImage(MyImage, new Rectangle(bounds.X+5, bounds.Y+5, 7, 7),0,0,7,7,GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ia);
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks! Yes. True indeed...But it won't work: The image will be transparent down to the form and it won't show the wallpaper overlay but the color of the form. IE: if the form is white, it will be ... transparently-white and it won't show the image overlay (wallpaper).

EDIT: I may have a way around it by copying the rectangle right under the fake-transparency image and putting them one under the other.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
What? In my code, MyImage is being drawn over another image on the control. Specifically, it's drawing a small star ontop of a user's avatar ontop of the control.

You just have to DrawImage the wallpaper, then DrawImage the overlay with the imageattributes set on the overlay.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I'll explain: All gadgets (standard pictureboxes) are on a form. They get invalidated once in a while when there are changes (new email etc). I use their onpaint event to render them and to draw strings over them (email count etc...). The thing is, if I do this:

e.Graphics.DrawImage(taskBMP, new Rectangle(0, 0, taskBMP.Width, taskBMP.Height), 0, 0, taskBMP.Width, taskBMP.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ia);

// taskBMP is the actual gadget icon

It will just render the transparency to the form even if there is a wallpaper set. So what I though was to first draw the "wallpaper rectangle" and then overlay the taskBMP with the transparency. Thus:

e.Graphics.DrawImage(bbuffer, 0, 0, new Rectangle(taskPosX, taskPosY, 30, 30), GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

e.Graphics.DrawImage(taskBMP, new Rectangle(0, 0, taskBMP.Width, taskBMP.Height), 0, 0, taskBMP.Width, taskBMP.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ia);

// bbuffer is the wallpaper

If I do the latter, it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
I understand now. It looks like we were saying the same thing. Anyway, I hope it helps.

Congratulations on a great looking .NET application. I look forward to seeing it grow.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Implemented it... Looks quite bad though! :-( I've been trying for hours to find some icons which would behave nicely with transparency. The problem is that we have only one color being transparent... So for example if you have one of those icons with drop-shadow, the shadow won't be rendered...

This CF is really despicable...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveShaw:
Nice one, I was gonna try a look at this too, but not had time to open VS today. Can you make a version without Icons and just the "Dashs"? That way all you see is your today screen until you start touching...

Edit:

If I can get CVS through the work proxy I'll download the source and have a play tomorrow :D

Thanks

Dave

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] master athlon:
Goodness Seven you've been quite busy I see! But everything's looking good, Sunscape is VERY stable now, atleast on my side. Keep up the good work and thanks for making a wonderful app! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jetherson:
this app looks really good.

i've been using mortsaver for a long time, and it seems to be almost perfect. the only thing i didn't like about it is that it doesn't look good on vga screen (realvga) and it's so uncustomizable.

i am having problems on s2u2 on my athena. so, no go.

and when i tried your sunscape, it's almost perfect. although it's missing a very important feature which i very much like on mortsaver, which is:

* ability to turn off screen after xx seconds while on locked/screensaver state.

would you be so kind and add that feature please? i don't think it will mess up the functionality of the program, on the contrary, i think many people would like it.

thanks again.

ciao!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TerrorToetje:
Hey Guys,

I owned an Axon 7 for a while until I dropped it and the screen broke...

now a friend of me is replacing the Axon 7 for something new due battery issues. And i'm able to get this device for free!

I own a Honor View 20, a bit newer device but i just wan't to have the Axon 7 back it was my favorite phone for a long time <3

So ordered a new battery and charging port just to be sure, how is lineage os or perhaps are there any active Axon 7 users that can recommend me any daily user rom?

Best Regards,
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] joaocandeias:
crDroid is a great option if you're going custom

If you prefer stock, Slim 8 B04 is also good
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TerrorToetje:
Well all oreo roms seem to have all kind of issues it was never stable and perhaps never will be stable. Unless lots of effort is going to put into it by the community. If I read the issues some people had using the B04 Slim and other 8+ roms I think it's to unreliable. If you use this device for Music I think a stock 7.1 is still one of the best options out there.

Building images using docker and perhaps improving the source/kernel tree can be done easy following https://github.com/tonys-code-base/dev-docker-android.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Boristheliar:
Why is 7.1 better for audio? I've just installed lineage 15.1 and the super HiFi option isn't there and the audio noise floor is a lot higher because of it. Curious to know if the super HiFi is in lineage 14.1 or not.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Weird.

Try without a case, give the screen a big clean..make sure it's spotless.

Beyond that I'm not too sure. It's quite odd. Is Bluetooth on? Could something be trying to communicate with it? I'd be tempted to give it a wipe and see if it persists with no apps installed at pure stock.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wood777fly:
I have a Samsung Galaxy s7edge SM-935F UK which is stuck on the Samsung Logo. It is possible to get into download mode but not any other screen (restore Etc). Because I cannot access settings I do not know if USB debugging is turned on or developer option. I have tried all ROM’s for all UK service providers (Vodafone etc) but I cannot reinstall any of the stock firmware using multiple versions of Odin. In Odin the phone is recognised ( says ‘added’) and shows connected to a COM port so I believe the computer USB and the lead are working correctly. I have even bought software from Tenorshare ‘Reiboot for Android’. This seems to be just an automated version of Odin without success. I have a small programme called ‘Simple USB logger’. If I plug in a working identical phone the USB log is very different to that of the faulty phone. Any help would be appreciated.

One comment, as your rom was published before in HTCmania you could have corrected minor bugs about button 1 and audio in the rom itself, so no cabs patching after flashing.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] axl79:
What ROM version have you installed?

I got the same behavior as you when I have installed 1.37 ROM, but with 1.93 callibrator works ok.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Da9L:
I use swiftblade version 5.0.. It is also a 1.93.. I have tried serveral roms but it still has the issue! Maybe i should try your rom just to see if it is my device that is acting strange.. Allthough i think it has something to do with how many degrees the device needs to be calibrated .. Mine needs around 20 degrees for a perfect calibration.. I have seen people getting it to work when they need around 15 degrees or under but no one that has above 15 degrees..

Could it be because the software has some treshold at 15 degrees?

[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] LineageRNz:
Hi all,

I am using Android 10 port for Redmi 2 ( Lineage 17.1 and tried a POSP v3.1.8+13 port too ). Upon boot up, my device is able to connect to LTE and data is available. But if I turn off data once and then try to turn it on, the quick settings bar shows Mobile data is ON and says H or H+ mostly, but in reality data is not turned on( the top status bar also doesn't show data in this case-it shows correctly on the first time when data is actually available ). I tried the usual ' Turn on and off Airplane mode' but it didn't helped. I disabled my Data usage limit, changed preferred type to GSM+WCDMA+LTE and some other values, made sure Access point etc. is correct ( obviously, as the first time it works fine ), but nothing works. If I reboot with data still turned on, data will be available upon boot up. If I reboot with data turned off, and if I turn it on manually once device if up, it works fine. In either case, if I turn off the data and then turn on again, it doesn't work.

Is this a known issue? Is there any way to work around this? While I can live with infrequent reboots, I still would prefer to keep data off and use WiFi and turn on the data when required without a reboot

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] mmafighter077:
So I've gotten used to the swipe up gestures for the navigation bar over my past few phones but going to the fold 2, on the big screen, the swipe gestures are too far apart for convenience. I see that there is an option for the traditional nav buttons to be offset to the right or left but i don't see an option for swipe gestures to be offset to the right or left. Is this even possible? Either within the Samsung settings or even a third party app?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Wadester:
The swipe gestures are new to me... never used them on my last phone (Note 8). I'm getting used to it on the small and large screens. I thought about switching back to include the buttons, but then it takes some of the video away which I think defeats the purpose of spending all this money on a phone with a large screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
It's quite a bit easier if you go into the navigation options and switch to the gestures where you swipe from the side for back and bottom for home. When you do that anywhere up on the bottom will take you home so you can make both gestures in the lower right or left corner of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] mmafighter077:
Thanks. I've been using this method. Although not my preference is the best option so far. I appreciate the recommendation.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
It would be nice if they'd let us fiddle with the placement and type of nav gestures, it's true about any phone but I think more so with this one due to the form factor.

My phone

OnePlust 7T

Android 10 (security patch level 1 July 2020)

Oxygen OS 10.0.12.HD65AA

HD1903

Kernel 4.14.117-perf+

Let me know if you need further information.

My goal

I want to install (and use) ViPER4Android FX.

My situation

I have root and the ViPER4Android FX (Version 2.5.0.5 (FX), Codename Beautiful) apk installed. When attempting to install thedriver I get the message "Driver install failed: I/O error, please reboot and try again.".

What I've tried

Rebooting the phone

Deleting the audio_effects.conf using Root Browser -> no error message, but deletion fails

Deleting it using termux -> "rm: cannot remove 'audio_effects.conf': Read-only file system

Mount using root ADB and "su -c "mount -o rw,remount /"" -> "'/dev/block/dm-4' is read-only

Disable verity using "adb disable-verity" -> "verity cannot be disabled/enabled - USER build

Conclusion

So if I understand correctly, I need to disable verity (which has something to do with SElinux(?)) in order to mount my filesystem, in order to delete the audio_effects.conf in order to install the ViPER drivers.

To make thinks more complicated, there is no proper TWRP available for the 7T, so it's not easy to flash stuff - I usually use fastboot for that nowadays.

So how do I disable the verity? Or is there another way to get ViPER to run on my phone?
