I just had the rear cover of my Mirror Black 6T replaced and I'm convinced they've bodged it - the glass back now has a protruding edge all the way around, almost like a glass screen protector would feel. I don't have another 6T to compare it to, can anyone provide a closeup photo of the edges of their phone backs to show that it should be fitting flush with frame/body of the phone?

[General Questions and Answers] macsym:
Hello all,

I am a happy user of Android 11 on a Pixel 3a. I decided to host my contacts and my calendar events on my own Nextcloud server using the davx5 (CalDAV/CardDAV provider for Android).

So:

- I deleted all my contacts on https://contacts.google.com/

- I deleted my events and calendars on https://calendar.google.com/calendar. Unfortunately, it is impossible to delete the "Reminders", "Tasks", and my name calendars (I imagine these are default mandatory calendars)

- I synced with my Android

- I disabled the sync of "Calendar", "Contacts" and "Tasks in Calendar" for my google account in the "Accounts" settings

Now, my Android is clean from any google contact or event. But when I create a new contact or a new event, they are added to my google account by default... So I need to be careful to chose the davx5 account each time.

So my question is simple; how can set my davx5 as the default account for my new contacts or events?

Thanks for any help!
[General Questions and Answers] macsym:
I still can't get it to work. Any idea?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] channeledbymodem:
Update: I managed to figure out that the Beta 08 predated the latest stable release 10.0.13, which I also found by searching. Since 10.0.13 is newer than Beta 08, I'm good.

This 7T is making me feel like I haven't spent the last six years reading XDA threads. :(

So I bought a 1907 converted to global firmware with the bootloader unlocked from Swappa. Now that it's here I find it has the open beta on it (OP7T_02_BETA_08) which I would prefer to roll back to stable. Something tells me there is not yet a roll back zip for this beta but a preliminary search didn't help. So if you know of a zip, tia.

Android 10 introduced a lot of powerful new tools to the Oneplus space and the only one I am familiar with is the fastboot roms (thanks! They're a lifesaver). I have not used the MSM tool, etc. I have never rolled back an OP beta. I can't even find a page about the OP 7T betas, although I assume the seller has the latest one on this phone. I'm ok using one of these tools if I do it now, since I have not yet put any personal data on the device.

As I see it these are my options from most desirable down:

1) Roll back to 10.0.12 or 10.0.13 assuming there is a roll back zip and I have instructions on how to use it.

2) Use a tool that is new to me to roll back.

3) Live with beta and simply root it via the fastboot flash method.

As for rooting the beta, can I use any of the prepatched boot img's here, which was my intention when I thought I was getting global stable? Or is the easiest thing to do just to boot the unofficial twrp and flash the latest Magisk zip (20.4?)? I think that's probably easiest.

So assuming a roll back to stable isn't possible now, and I root the beta by whatever means, how do I get back to stable eventually? I know this has been answered very often but I have never wanted to deal with betas over 3 different OP phones so if you'd indulge me with basic explanations/links I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] radiohead7778580:
Download the OnePlus 7T - Global

Flash from your phone in the system settings then reboot, it will wipe everything after it boots back up go thru the setup quickly and do a factory reset one more time from the settings and your set. After that just download Oxygen Updater and catch up to the current update.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] advocate2:
It is not technically a price reduction, but Samsung just raised the trade in value of older watches. Before today, Samsung was only offering me a $50 trade in toward the Titanium I wanted. Went I just checked their website and put it my Gear S3 as a trade in, the value was now $200. I grabbed the deal. Thanks Samsung.

I couldn't resist this deal. Was only getting a day out of my gear. Got a Watch 3 45mm Bluetooth in mystic black for $127 shipped after trade, military discount and a $70 accessory credit from the S20FE deal. Previously Samsung was offering only $50 trade for the Gear. Almost bought the Samsung 46mm watch for $189 last week but something kept telling me to hold off.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] vicvon:
Just be careful. I took advantage of the 100.00 off for my gear S3. Then I got an email saying it wasn't accepted because it did not turn on. When I got it back they had taken the brand new band off and kept it.not sure if they don't know how to turn on their own product but as you can see it turns on just fine.

Surprisingly, the stock app for the camera is very good on 5 II.. The question is, is gcam needed for 5 II, sony did a great job with the camera and the camera software this year.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] CazeW:
The stock app is indeed surprisingly capable, but managing highlights is still one of the weak points with Sony. The 5 II is probably the best phone Sony has made in years so it would be great to see GCam support for it. Any chance of this [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] [MENTION=9040262]Urnyx05[/MENTION]?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] mhsbrian:
I think you hit it on the head honestly. The testing I have been doing with the camera seems to be that Sony is okay with highlights in photos, similarly to Apple but Apple does still a little better than Sony does.

There are definitely benefits I have seen from the highlights though, portrait photos of a person with good lighting look exceptional on the mark II even with indoor lighting. My first 2 days with this phone have been a pleasure because it almost makes me feel like this phone is built like a Nexus device was back in the good old days, with minor Sony embellishments.

Looking forward to progress here in this!

Eh, what? There aren't any properly working GCam versions for the phone yet.

The only ones that work are one older GCam and the Go version. Yes, stock apps give better pictures than those but I'm not counting those as proper GCam ports.

On my 5-2 this GCam is semi-working. It takes photo on 16 and 70 mm module. Sometimes you can enter the menu using the button LIB from the tenth time.

(If the image from the camera is visible and falls out, move the slider to the video and choose a different camera).

Perhaps someone can make this version work and run the main photo module (it works in the video).

It's weird because Google Camera Go works only with the 24mm lens.
[MENTION=9824429]chilled_orange13[/MENTION] my trick was to open the app, quickly swipe to video then change the lens using the upper settings menu. Pressing the setting icon or lib icon makes the app crash. Changing lens crashes the app but when you open it again it launches on the selected lens.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] mhsbrian:
5.1 is ancient, before all of the HDR advances that were made with Gcam, even before HDR+ or portrait. Sony stock camera is light-years better that that. The Camera Go seems to also do worse with lighting, autofocus, and a lot of crashes, no value here really.

Our best hope is BSG and they're currently trying to make it work but there are issues with actual blocking of the camera modules in the Sony firmware, so not sure how far it's gonna get, it's up in the air, but they have made progress.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] SeriousFlash:
GCam will only use the main camera module. Everything else like front camera is blocked.

The Gcam 5.1 supports only 1 camera, no night sight, no astro, no aux lens, no config support. However, the HDR+ works great and I sometimes uses the gcam 5.1 over 6.X and 7.X on my Samsung phone, just because the old gcam 5.1 produce very natural skin texture and pleasing color. Newer version has more features, but sometimes photo looks overprocessed. Also the newer Pixel AWB sucks, it gives blue tint. Some gcam ports has option to use other AWB and libs rather than stick to Googles.

Yeah, not working quite well. Freezes a lot, picture are very, very grainy and supports only the main cam. Not even the selfiecam. I guess this was not for 5 ii, just a general build.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] CazeW:
It's one of the first builds that work on

It's one of the first builds that work on the 5 II. The Sony phones are problematic to get working because of technical decisions they've made. To get less grainy pictures and less freezes, switch on GL preview, turn on focus tracking and change HDR+ model to Pixel 3a (I prefer Pixel 5).
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] Finneri:
Thanks, now it runs smoother. Althought, 3a settings gave grainy photos also, P5 works way better. Night sight not working. Have to test tomorrow in daylight, pictures looks pretty promising.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] CazeW:
I also recommend setting "Quality HDR+" to High as Original is apparently the lowest setting.

Working night sight is coming in a later version along with HDR+ enhanced. Only downside is that OIS might be impossible to get working in photo mode in GCam so getting sharp pictures with those in low light is very hard.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] ickata:

[Sony Xperia 5 II Themes, Apps, and Mods] gerhardo:
I tried a general beta from BSG 8.1.101.345618084 and the colors are duller, no astro and front camera have issues, similar to the closed beta. Night Sight gives better images in extreme situations though.

OpenCamera (that uses the camera APIs) has interface to use HDR also on the front camera, only briefly tested it (and cannot say if HDR really have an effect). But HDRseem to work in darker situations. Not magic, but you get pictures.

The Sony phones take natural colors which I normally prefer, but occasionally the HDR and night sight pictures are nice too, too bad they are not available in the default app(s).
