[Android Head-Units] Scooterran:
Hello there,

Since I'm limited to size for my Audi A4 B6 2003 model i decided to go with a 1DIN motorized flip-out unit.

I've started to look some devices in this category and the Xtrons P710P caught my eye but later I found out that there are at least 3 more brands that sell this format and exactly the same front design with various specs.

The mentioned Xtronx unit uses an A35 CPU for which I dont know the frecvency yet however, the competition, Eunavi model WX7088 sells the same unit but with an A53 CPU for a 100$ less. Heck, for the same price as Xtrons I could get 4GBRAM and Octacore but do I really need that much power if the CPU is older then the A35?

So im wondering should I go for the cheaper version Eunavi that uses an older CPU from 2011 or with Xtrons for the newer CPU that came out in 2015. I really dont want to meet a laggy unit.

Cons for Xtrons is also a nice website with some info, customer support and accessories while Eunavi wins hands down on aliexpress orders and weirdly, on customer satisfaction.

Looking for anyone interested in giving me some headsup.

Hi,

Has anyone managed to modify the Story shot mode for the LG G8x camera? I mean the Story mod has the potential to be something awesome, something like the LG Wing's dual video mode, where you can take video with both cameras at the same time. The hardware can do that, as the preview for this mod shows.

Instead it's a crappy uncustomizable mode that puts your face on top of half the screen, and you can't even customize where your selfie is put.

Is there any way to get the dual video mode from LG wing? (or LG V10 back in the day)

[LG G8X ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dumitrudan608:
There are quite allot of dual camera apps on the store, most of them fake or not working, i have found 2 that work, but one of them does not show you a preview of the selfie picture, and the other one has a forced uneditable counter after which it will take the second shot.

Have you found any apps that actually do a good job with dual shot?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
Hey guys,

I just switched from a Polaris to my Kaiser a few days ago, because of the keyboard.

I love my Kaiser, but there is one thing I'm wondering about.

Why is there so few RAM in the Kaiser?

On my Polaris I had 60+ MB free (with an 8MB Touchcube loaded), up to 68.

On the Kaiser I have max. 43-45 free with nothing (I know of) running in the background....

How is that?

Stefan

edit: It's the same situation on different ROMs I tested and it was the same situation on different Polaris ROMs, too. They were all fully loaded, no light ROMs etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
I think most ROM chefs have gone to either "larger" page pools, or dynamic page pools. And depending on the page pool size, you will see less available RAM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
Would you like to "SEE" a lot of free ram but run yr machine slow because of no caching/paging? Or you want to "FEEL" a lot smoother user experience because we spend some ram for cache/pagepool?

With 128mb Qvga machine like Kaiser, I don't even dare to look at the memory meter since I NEVER run into not enough ram issue even I abuse it w/ lots of concurrent apps (Iguidance 4 + TomTom 7 + A2DP w/ Coreplayer + lots of todays plugins).

I rather concern about too many unnecessary background service/process since WM has a physical limit of 32 processes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
45MB free is nothing to worry about, I've never really managed to use more than 20MB with more than 10 apps running.

And devices like the Hermes were doing fine with less than 20MB free after a clean boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahrami:
very nice way expressing/explaining

so thats call for button X application (plug in)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
The ROMs I used on the Polaris had a 18MB PP...

Laurentius' V10 also has 18MB...

And I also can't seem to fill the RAM, but I'm a little confused...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
I also go pretty high on my page pools (24 mb). However, you can request a ROM of your liking with the page pool you want (look at my sig) :).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
Thx, but as I said, I'm alright with my RAM.

I'm only curious why a ROM which is (supposed to be) very similar to a Polaris one according to the settings (where the Polaris ROM actually had the TouchCube with 8MB loaded) has 15-20MB less RAM available... what the hell is running in the background on the Kaiser that takes that much memory?

Oh, and btw, all the screenshots for the Kaiser I saw (even from light ROMs), don't have much more than 50MB free, so how can a light Polaris ROM have 70MB free??!!

Stefan

P.S: I don't mean to annoy anyone, but I just can't help it... :P

I wanna know what takes my RAM away...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
There, just for you. 47.3MB with no programs running but no reboot for more than one week, and 63.1MB after reboot. The screenshot program is taking 1MB in both cases, and I have a couple of small programs starting automatically on boot.

Any chance you'd be using WM6 on one and WM6.1 on the other?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
Why don't you use Memmaid and take a look?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
I can't find anything, that's why I'm asking ;-)

@kilrah: interesting, I never saw that much free RAM on a Kaiser.

However, on my Polaris I had a ROM (as previously mentioned) that was fully loaded, all the stuff I have on my Kaiser + the Cube and I still had about 20MB more free RAM than I have on my Kaiser without a Cube...

The only Hardware-based difference on the Kaiser is the keyboard... but that can't have anything to di with it, can it?

Stefan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I was also always curious as to why, if they can make 32gb micro sd cards, can't they simply put that much memory into the Kaiser to begin with?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
Two Things

A) They don't have 32Gb MicroSD cards yet.

B) Lets say they Did. Leaving the Card Slot Blank costs nothing. Filling it with a Card costs money. Larger Profit Margin for HTC. They win.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
And some more:

D) Most people don't give a damn about having 16/32GB in their phone, and would certainly be pissed off if they had to pay more for something they didn't need. Those will just buy a 1GB card and be fine with it.

E) That would open the door to iphone-like ripoff, with $100-200 difference between the 8GB and 16GB models... when we know that a 8GB memory card costs around $20 nowadays, so much more like $5 to add it inside the phone for the manufacturer. But as we all know, internal memory always costs more than cards....

F) Bit unrelated, but in my country electronic devices are subject to a copyright-style tax based on the amount of internal memory. But memory cards aren't taxed. Choose the best option :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
And backup sizes increase too!

After watching my free device memory decline and backup sizes go up every day, I found that PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) and Opera were taking a more than decent amount of memory for their caches.

Clearing PIE and Opera's cache freed over 30M of device memory for me!

While Opera gives a setting for cache size, PIE has only a registry setting:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content\CacheLimit

It's set to 42680 in my Tilt. While I can change the registry value, the change won't survive a soft reset.

My solution is to regularly clear the browser caches and check the device for temp files. It's made a huge difference for me (from 11M free to 61M free)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
Man, we are talking about RAM (program memory) and you are talking about ROM (storage memory).

I always use memmaid to clean up before backup to make sure no junks are being backup. In fact, most backup software allow you to choose what directory to or not to backup.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
I don't see that in the previous posts. I do understand the difference between program and storage memory. RAM is where everything but the base system is stored... right? ROM (read only memory) isn't used for a dynamic cache... right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
That was back on '03... the terms stayed the same but since WM5 the technology changed

It's like on your PC.

RAM is the storage the programs actually run in, ROM is the ... rest

If you look at the Memory Page in the settings. ROM ("Storage") is what you're talking about and RAM ("Program") is what the rest of us is talking about...

Stefan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
Sooo... you're saying that my PIE and Opera caches are both in my Tilt's ROM? Wow... somehow I fell waaaay behind the times!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
It's not actually ROM anymore, that's what I meant and I guess that's why you're confused.

I think you understand what RAM is. Now what we mean when we say ROM is just the rest of the internal storage that is NOT the RAM.

If you read the specs of HTC phones you always see 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM. ROM in this case is just a name that's in use cuz it's always been used, though it's not ReadOnlyMemory nowadays.

Stefan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
I noticed something interesting:

Most of the ROM's (if not all of them) show around 85,57MB "Memory" on the about page...

Funny since most of the Polaris ROM's (which are mostly based on Kaiser ROM's - except for the Diamond ports - since there is no native WM6.1 for the Polaris yet) show around 102MB of "Memory"...

Something weird is goin' on...

Stefan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
YES!

PAGE POOLS!

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
Yes, rtf-thread!

As I said, the Polaris ROM's have 18MB PP's, same as on the Kaiser!

Stefan

edit: That's what I thought first, but the Kaiser ROM's I tried do not have 32MB PP's...

edit²: and isn't a 18MB PP more than default? If so, then why the hell do the HTC ROM's also have 85,57MB?!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
The Kaiser Handles Pagepools differently then other devices. I don't remember how, But I remember seeing that changing a Pagepool on a Kaiser is very different then on a Hermes for example.

So It could be set at "18MB" pagepool but the Kaiser doesn't read the same place as other devices to get its pagepool settings, so they could be different. Also, I remember something else about Silly Memory Calculations On the Kaiser.

This is just something that I pulled from the back of my head, I can't find the thread in which i read this however. I, also, wasn't trying to yell at you. I was trying to prompt my brain. (Didn't work) :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cushcalc:
It all has to do with the changes in WM6.1 memory allocation

I don't think anyone yet has really answered Sayuuk's question adequately, although JimmyMcGee is on the right track.

Sayuuk, look at a Kaiser running

WM6.0

and you will see the larger available RAM like you do on your Polaris. It all changed with WM6.1, HTC reserving/locking in 18 MB. I have only seen one custom WM6.1 ROM (there may be others) that has the larger beginning free memory like the WM6.0, and that was one of the HyperDragon ROM's.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
From what I understand from his post you quoted, he was also using 6.1 on the Polaris. So he would be comparing 6.1 with 6.1 on both devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
Yes I was running 6.1 on my Polaris. Either with Kaiser or with Diamond Ports.

Can anybody confirm that you have more free RAM when on 6.0 with the Kaiser?

If that was the case, maybe you've got more RAM on the Polaris because not everything is 6.1 (at least this is how I assume it works... because there is no official 6.1 from HTC...on the other side... it wasn't just a 6.0 running/looking like 6.1 but a full port...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anoano:
I confirm that since upgrading to 6.1, I have less RAM (storage and program), as explained earlier. The device runs slightly quicker (better overall response).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] buupbup@yaho.com:
yea mine had more RAM in 6.0 than 6.1

i started a thread that got locked down on this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
The Imageon 2380 in the Kaiser has 16MB of texture/buffer/etc ram.

Supposedly it's on its own hardware, but if it's also mapped as shared memory, it could explain some things as the post-3.28 ROMs do enable ATI hardware support.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] -888-:
Those mixing up RAM and ROM, think of it that way:

RAM (aka Memory)

is same as RAM on your computer;

it is different and probably faster memory chip, and same as your computer memory - it doesn't hold data once it is not powered up.

ROM (aka Storage)

is the equivalent of your hard disk;

and same as your hard disk, even if it isn't powered-up, it still keeps all the data

Since WM5 when we gained "persistant storage" it has all changed, and ROM really is like a hardisk in your PC.

Before, with WM2003SE and older, you could adjust the amount of RAM by stealing from ROM and vice versa. However the ROM back then was more like the RAM, working similarily, meaning once you lost power you would loose all the data too (hence the need for backup battery).

On the differences between various devices.

Well, I don't know for sure, but even though Kaiser has 128MB RAM, isn't part of it shared for video memory? If so, you are already down to some 112MB or less (if its more than usual 16 megs).

Another thing is Page Pool, which swallows up another 12 or 18 or even 24 megs, depending on settings.

So there you go, ~101MB is probably the maximum you can actually have left (on Polaris or Kaiser or any other 128MB RAM device).

Correct me if Im wrong somebody.

Sorry if I'm uninformed, but I spent a few days looking for a method to root the infamous multilaser m7. A tablet with a very bad performance to install a virtual machine and at the same time super complicated in terms of compatible tools to improve its android 9. Has anyone experienced this problem, have any tips besides advising me to burn it or play In the trash?

My final objective is get remote access in this tablet without confirmation... none of most usable tools (Airdroid, Anydesk, teamviewer) work in this tablet without confirmation ou USB temporary confirmation every time the devise turn off or the tool updated. In respect of this last thing, I know that here isn't the best place to ask, but all help is welcomed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK the 3 mentioned apps make use of a Wi-Fi connection and not of a USB connection. Once you are going to establish a remote connection this must be confirmed, will say the appropriate connection ID must get input.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criph:
I agree ... they use wi-fi connection, thanks to God for that ... what I said is that I need to connect to the tablet without confirmation, I need to leave the tablet in my store and just upload and configure it remotely. For this, even installing the Teamviewer and AnyDesk plugins, and activating the direct connection option of Airdroid using USB without root, it is still not possible to maintain a connection with that tablet (mind cracker multilaser m7). Better options for example using Airdroid would be possible if it were possible to root this infamous.

Because tablet is powered by Mediatek chipset you can try to flash a pre-rooted Android ( Custom ROM ) by means of SP Flash Tool or do it the hard way by flashing a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ), then flashing Magisk framework via TWRP and finally root Andoid by means of Magisk Manager.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucasBS1:
Don't know if you're still interested.

Using App Ops you may grant Anydesk or whatever the ability to always accept external connections.

To enable App Ops on a device without root, you will also need Shizuku. Follow the instructions on the screen.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] jgoorn:
Here is how you can enjoy your speaker on your Surface Duo:

Prerequisites:

Duo (obviously)

Root via magisk

internet

Step 1: Download V4A Viper4Android apk & install it: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx

Step 2: Launch the ‘ViPER4Android’ app but do not install the drivers right now.

Step 3: Open ‘Magisk Manager’ and go to the ‘Downloads’ section of the app.

Step 4: Search and find the “Audio Modification Library” module and press the download icon next to it.

Step 5: Tap on the ‘INSTALL’ button to install the module on your device.

Step 6: Magisk module installer will prompt you to reboot but do not reboot your phone yet.

Step 7: Now go back to the ViPER4Android app, tap on “OK” to install the required V4A drivers.

Step 8: Grant the Superuser permissions to the app when prompted.

Step 9: After the drivers are installed, the device will automatically reboot.

To configure the speaker once magisk is working I have enabled these settings:

1) Master power

2) Playback gain control (strength 1) (maximum gain 3x) (output threshold -1.9dB)

3) FIR equalizer (small speakers)

This guide here : https://www.the***********.com/install-viper4android-android-10-guide/ helped me and they are definitely the source of this knowledge, but I thought I'd post here in case anyone else loved their device but hated the lackluster sound from factory.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] Just about right:
Good job on figuring this out. A definite improvement.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] muddtt:
At least it's good to know that it's not a total hardware limitation. Hopefully Microsoft will add an equalizer or improve the audio in future updates.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] navyfighter1218:
Hmm not seeing it working. Running the latest android update. Everything installed correctly and per the guide but when I click on the driver status is says Enabled: No, Status Abnormal.

Not sure if that is just what it says or if its really not working. No sound difference when I turn on Master power, playback gain and equilizer. I see it in magisk and is enabled.

Edit: Nevermind. Rebooted again and now its working lol. Ignore more :)
