I see this is a bit of a touchy subject ;)

No worries, it is of course the admins' forums and they can have whatever rules they want. Having more forums would probably put more strain on the server.

Would just like to thank you guys for providing the forums at all. They are one of the main reasons I upgrade to a HTC model rather than, say, a Samsung or Asus whenever I upgrade my Windows Mobile phone :)
[General Topics] mike21pr:
i agree with this request even though its a long shot...

the Toshiba TG01 is too great of a device to not have the XDA touch...

as well as the Omnia which still gets its support anyway
[General Topics] -PiLoT-:
well echolock youre in the minority.

you understand both sides most people demand we do what they want, you seem to see the pros and cons

i did at first (a few months ago) ask for an omnia section but was denied but then realised as to why so i created the site in my sig.

i did it to make the boards a bit less of a battlefield also it was an place the mods could direct people to knowing thats its a trustworthy source (they helped with advice)

NB i didnt mean to respond to your post in such a flippant manner. im sorry. i also didt see the smily face u added. i said so that none of the people who are demanding a new section(s) didnt see it as an oportunity to demand even more

where is the bottleneck bandwidth or hardware? is it time to change hosting company? I like the idea of keeping this an htc only forum i think that everyone needs to flock to another forum and make it into another xda developers but for non htc devices.

on an unrelated thing i have an open forum on my website.

I vote for a Non HTC section!
[General Topics] Bright.Light:
Voted for non-HTC, because HTC is not up-to-date anymore - desperately wanting the 1GHz processor, but it won't be sold for quite some time!

So, some other devices are welcome here!

Besides, many programs and OS questions are for all devices, so why not enhance this site!

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
It depends on your model and where you are. If you don't have it enabled, like the U.S. unlocked KB2005 variants, you cannot enable it through the system right now. No matter what model you have, there will be a way once we get root. I am sure there are regular apps you can get as well. I use TotalRecall which lets you choose the method for recording, including root.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] dieterhaack:
LOL, that's very very true. But we have to live on with this situation. On rooted phones you can get most call recorders to work, after reading their help files (skvalex Call Recorder, Boldbeast, I have both paid versions).

Disadvantage is, with root, secured apps mostly do not work any more, issues with Widevine Level 1 and SafetyNet will arise, and there is no certified Play Store for GPay any more. In addition, Android 11 forces more security than previous versions. You may need to go back to older phones (i.e. my Moto Z3 Play) to get what you want. For my part, fixing all these issues (with Magisk, the like) is too much work, which likely has to be repeated after monthly security updates.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] fxz:
I'm on KB2003 (EU) and we don't even have half of the OnePlus apps. Messaging and Phone for example, have been changed to Google's. Not to mention there's some other preinstalled Google bloat, although you can easily uninstall them as a lot of them aren't system apps. We also still have netflix added as bloat too? I'm not sure what's happening anymore
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] h8Aramex:
On Pixel 3a XL I was able to root Android 11 and skvalex Call Recorder works on that. But I am worried that it will not do the trick on the 8T. Now I'm just waiting to push the order button - but I NEED call recording. It's the most crucial feature of a phone I purchase.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] dieterhaack:
Which 8T? KB2003, OOS 11.0.1.2.KB05BA and com.google.android 55.1.335513515 dialer?

Until now, I only installed skvalex CR and gave it adb permissions and device helper access as requested. Did not test this, though.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] dieterhaack:
T-Mobile US device.

Sorry, I don't see anything useful in your 7 seconds imgur video. But thanks for your efforts, maybe it is helpful for other users with your 8T version.

EU variant (KB2003) has no native OP dialer, it's Google's com.google.android. That said, jOnePlus Tools show a switch with enabled call recorder and call recorder service, but nothing is recorded because there is no call recorder in EU firmware or Google Dialer, which can be enabled.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] dieterhaack:
Does not open after installation and setup (rights, telephone standard app), (OnePlus Phone 4.9.5 August 7, 2020). I think it is not possible without root on Android 11 and several additional "Phone and Messaging Storage" and "Phone Services" apk, at least in Europe.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indestructible master:
hi, i have alcatel onetouch pixi 7 tab, which have 4.4 on it.

its not very customizable even with root, it doesnt have custom ROM, neither a custom recovery.

and i just want to theme it to look like a cyanogenmod 11 (i want to feel natural kitkat theme, not some weird OEM skin which this tab already have).

i tried xposed, everything, but it doesnt work, i mean, there are some themes which work, but i just want classic kitkat style (black, like cyanogenmod default theme)

so i found some mention to theme it via settings.apk, and framework.apk found in system, but i dont know how i am going to flash it if i dont have custom recovery.

can i just replace themed .apk in system, reboot and will it work, or will crash hard.

also, i cant make any nandroid backup (you guessed it, no custom recovery), so if something go wrong i rely only for some alcatel official tool for flashing stock rom, but i dont know will it even work, because this tab is old (2013), and maybe they abandoned it, and deleted all support and stock ROM for it, so i dont wanna take chanches of bricking it.

and also, if i am going to theme via settings.apk and framwork.apk, can someone show me guide to it, and maybe also how to get cyanogenmod 11 theme, or similar classic kitkat default style, because cyanogenmod is also abandoned.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] romo1987:
Hi,

I'm learning some C# for PC Pocket and Smartphones, and as an owner of a HTC Diamond, I would like to use the GSensor. I downloaded the Sensors.zip released around, but it's confusing to me. Most of the code is written to draw and control the ball, and it makes it so confusing.

I'd like to know the steps i must take to make a project using the GSensor: how to include the dll, how to load the functions...

I can undertand how the GVectors work, i just have another trouble: I am acostumed to lineal programming, not based in events, so i can't thinks in a different way to do this but:

while(true){

here we look the status of the Gvector and do something

}

BUt this kind of programming isn't working with event programming, because the program wouldn't load. Any idea?

Thanks!

> normally you have to say i want to save the file, right?? i dont get this window and i cant find the file on my pda...

please help me... that problem is so annoying i could throw the whole thing .........^^

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Phil9876:
Hi, here my current situation:

- I have a SM-G960F

- OEM is locked

- I'm in a bootloop

- I downloaded G960FXXSBETH2_G960FODXBETG8_DTM.zip from sammobile

- in this zip, there are boot.img, system.img, recovery.img, ...

- I am able to flash all of them except for system.img via, e.g., heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img

- for heimdall flash --SYSTEM system.img I get "Custom Binary(SYSTEM) Blocked by OEM Lock"

My history:

- I had lineageos 15.?? installed and backed it up via TWRP

- I wanted to install lineageos for microg 17.?? via dirty install (with signature faking)

- The migration.zip from the lineage.microg.org worked

- The actual build from them did not work because of wrong vendor binaries

- I guess, the migration.zip enabled OEM and that's where I am

Do you have any idea why the system.img cannot be flashed while the others can? It should be the original samsung firmware. Do I need an older firmware, e.g., Android 8?

Can you link a good explanation of the versioning issues with bootloaders? Am I able to restore my backup of 15.?? if I successfully install a 17.?? version?

I appreciate any help to unbrick my phone:)

Best, Phil

Have you confirmed the VPN is actually working? I installed PIA client on my new Chromecast with Google TV, it shows as connected in the app, but the other apps are not going through the VPN connection.
[Google Chromecast] Bungholi0o0ooo:
If you use Connectify on Windows or one of the similar apps available on Linux, you can share your VPN connection that way. Right now I'm sharing PIA connection successfully, it's blocking all these stupid ads in the Cartoon Network app.

Thanks, another option is to run the VPN client from a dedicated access point/router and have the Chromecast connect to it. I bought the Chromecast to replace a laptop that's running Kodi w/ VPN and I was looking for an alternative to run the VPN client within Chromecast.

It doesn’t matter you’re on the moon, VPN or TOR or Tripple NAT, as long as you can reach your smartTV from your mirror source device (ping), no scope/subnet block/firewall, AND your mirror software can specify target IP/mirroring, otherwise you may need to forward your mirror advertising protocol to client.
[Google Chromecast] domicq:
As somebody above mentioned, you can search through Apps tab, OR use web browser version of play store, with Google acc you use on Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] resinis:
you can get to playstore by going to settings, apps and look at system apps. its a dumb way to get there but it works. otherwise just hold the assistant button and say "Nord VPN playstore" and it will find it.

I can also confirm on that. You can easily install any app through the Google assistant or through apps tap. I installed Nord VPN and unlocked blocked content on Netflix. I am in Canada and I am streaming The Big Bang Theory routing the connection through UK. It's so easy
