[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tha_rami:
1bbfdc9b_manila and 4e670504_manila would be the clock files. Copy them to your Windows directory and note they work best against a darker background.

The large icons are slightly blurry, and therefore not any larger than this. I think they're almost at their max currently, so much larger wouldn't have been possible anyway. You won't notice the blur in action, though, due to the beautiful sharp screen of the Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jakontil:
hi tha_rami

it's nice! what's wrong with the clock btw?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tha_rami:
The transparency on the clock gives a bit of an odd effect when the numbers change. Sadly, I've found no way to change that animation and thus had no choice but to either leave it at that or make some lame background for the clock (an idea I detested), so this is the best possible given the possibilities available to me.

Let's conclude that I'm happy with how it turned out and searching for inspiration for another new, unique theme.

[Android Auto General] dvdram:
As far as I understand it, AA requires installation of several additional Google services on my phone. When I installed LOS on my Nexus 6, I did this to avoid all these Google services and apps. So I am looking for an alternative to AA, that enables me to use some of my apps on my car's entertainment screen, but without having to install these Google apps. Basically, what I would like the most, is a way to change between different audio streaming apps, e.g. change from the podcast player to the music player, without the need to fiddle on the phone's screen. My car's entertainment system is capable of receiving audio streams from my phone via bluetooth, and I can simply switch to that mode by switching from "radio" to "media". But that will, of course, always start the app that was used before. When I want to stop listening to music and start a podcast instead, I still need to use the phone.

Is there any chance of achieving what I want without all the supplementary and unwanted Google apps?
[Android Auto General] UnlockableBootloadersFTW:
I'm wondering the same thing, I really like the idea of Android Auto, but despise how deeply integrated into the Google frameworks it is.

I know it would likely be a tremendous amount of work, but it would be awesome to have something like Micro G for Android Auto that is completely de-googled and lets us use alternate voice command frameworks in addition to the features you already mentioned.
[Android Auto General] Cogereinfotech:
The major reason as to why Google gave birth to its Android Auto service was the fact that it made navigation easier and much safer. The native Android Auto app for your cars and your phone has big, bold icons and elements to view without squinting your eyes while driving.

1. Drivemode: Safe Driving

2. Waze

3. HERE WeGo

4. Car Dashdroid

5. Dashlinq – Car Dashboard Launcher

6. AutoMate Car Dashboard

7. Microsoft Cortana
[Android Auto General] UnlockableBootloadersFTW:
I think you may have misunderstood the point of this thread. Those other apps may provide a driving friendly interface on the phone display itself, but DO NOT link with Android Auto compatible head units found in most cars without going through Google's proprietary Android Auto app.

I'm interested in a non-Google app (maybe something like Micro G or even a modded version like YouTube Vanced) that emulates the Android Auto server so it can interact with Android Auto compatible car head units without requiring the Google framework or Gapps to be installed.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] nickdearing88:
Hi everyone.

Can anyone please give me a guide on how to convert my IN2015 from the global software to T-Mobile? I want to try the 5G SA and T-Mobile modem. I tried this: https://xdaforums.com/t/op8-oos-tmo-55cb-unbrick-tool-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4093043/ and that bricked my phone, probably because it specifically says only for the T-Mobile version. I got into the Fastboot mode, and was able to get the phone recovered.

There are plenty of guides for converting the T-Mobile version to global, but not the other way around.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] nickdearing88:
I held down the volume up & down buttons while plugging in, but nothing ever happened on the screen. I assumed something like a bootloader screen would display on the phone. Afterwards, I got it into the bootloader menu, then choose Start, and it restarted correctly.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ananke379:
Before a factory reset to fix different issue with dropping apps, I could run Audible in the background while I played a game. Now, Audible closes completely when I open another app. I NEED this to work and Amazon customer support told me it was "impossible" even when I told them I have done it on several different Fire tablets. I have access to developer options.

I also have a chronic disease which causes mobility and pain issues and keeps me in bed. I do not remember exactly what, if anything, I did to make this work when I first got it, and havent been successful finding help online. I need this to work. It may seem like a little thing, but to me it is everything.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Left4will:
Hello, guys.

I just got a side kick 4g. I always wanted this phone since my early teens but I got it ! Anyways, I have a very outdated version of Android; can't seem to login to the old Android Market to update apps. I'm looking for a decent rom that do at least what's app and wechat. I already rooted the phone but do I need to install recovery just in case?

Can anyone recommend me a good rom? Thanks.

I want the exact same thing , I also always wanted that phone and I'm also lookking for a decent rom

Maybe we can help each other out?

Mij email is blackinktattoos15@gmail.com

All I want is for whatsapp to work but then I have to upgrade the firmware but the phone is so old there are no updates annymore.

I also need to upgrade the android version in order for whatsapp to work

I have whatsapp installed but cant seem to get past the number verification

The phone wont connect or send the sms, same as yours

I dont even know how to flash a custom rom , they really need to help us out.

Flash the phone for what ?

They need to provide us with the right programs and working links and maybe even develop a custom firmware for the phone and make it easy to make this phone working properly.

Thats what they are for.

To develop and provide
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sohamssd:
Hi, I'm new to flashing on a/b (but not flashing in general) and I noticed that most ROMs ask you to flash the OOS firmware first. I do understand how a/b partitions work. However, here are my questions:

1. Why is it a necessity to flash the OOS firmware?

2. What slot should the OOS firmware be flashed to? Do I have to flash on both slots?

3. Why don't all ROMs ask you to do this?

4. I should grab the firmware zip from the "Signed flashable zips" section here, right?

PLEASE GO TO THE NEW FOURM POST

https://xdaforums.com/t/new-installing-apps-on-a-gabb-phone-z2.4377379/

[ORIGINAL POST]Obviously, yes, the gabb phone is meant for little kids and such for their first phone. However, it definitely is running android, and probably could be tampered with. If you're wondering what I really need, I mostly talk to people using discord.

Here's what I've tried so far. There is no way (from the file manager) to install .apk files. All it does is tell me that there's no app to open the file with. I have also tried to head over to the bootloader, by holding down the power button and volume down button. I'm fine with no social media, but there is wifi on it, so I was assuming if I could find a way to just get an apk on there, then it would work fine. Also, with the new update, you can see more folders of the phone instead of the standard, PTP thing.View attachment 5158557I can't enable developer settings or anything like that. Looks like they've done a good job locking it down.

If anyone has ANY idea at all of how to install apps of any kind on this, please reply.

[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
Well if you are reading this, look up how to watch youtube on gabb phone tutorial to learn how to transfer files. If you download an apk on computer, go to computer, press show in folder after downloading apk, copy the file, plug in the charging cord to the gabb and a pc usb, and press this pc in your files, gabb phone, downloads, and paste it. If you go into my files on your gabb, you can go to it but there is no package installer, and if you could download a software or something similar to a package installer, than you could download any app.
[General Topics] YEETHAN:
It says no app to run this
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
Maybe if you could run an emulator or jailbreak the gabb phone. Maybe if you could transfer a apk installer file from your computer. Maybe through downloading some app or game on an sd card on a different phone and then putting the sd card in the gabb phone. Maybe you could download android software and transfer it to the phone. If you could run an android emulator that would be the best option.
[General Topics] sarssosx:
how do you do that?
[General Topics] bookreader164:
So, I have figured out how to access recovery mode. But you are not able to access the bootloader from there, although you can update from an sd card or adb debugging if u know-how.

[General Topics] DMikesell12:
I found a file in android known as .nomedia it might have something to do with it.
[General Topics] bookreader164:
You may be right, because The use of naming a file NOMEDIA is to keep the device from scanning that particular folder. Apps sometimes hide ads in that folder so they don't get deleted. So gabb may be hiding crucial files in that folder, although you will need an external app to manage NOMEDIA utilities. such as studiokuma.
[General Topics] bookreader164:
I have noticed that when you hard reset your gabb phone it will show make you agree to the terms of service. if you click read terms of service it will take you to a the ZTE page, but upon closer inspection it is in a web browser, where you can acces youtube, instagram, etc.. BUTTTT you cannot login to your google play account because the keyboard is disabled.

I am currently stuck around this part as well. I was able to reboot into recovery mode by holding the power and volume up button till the screen starts up. I attempted using adb debugging's install command (can be found here), but I ran into a "server client error", notifying me that the server client versions don't match up. I have no idea what that means. I will need to do some further research, but this is what I have so far to contribute to our "noble" cause.

P.S. I forgot to take screenshots of the errors (my bad), but I'll do some research on adb then try again and share the errors (hopefully no errors).

Did you get it into proper ADB mode or just ADB sideload mode?

Even if it didn't work, it would still be a satisfaction to put a slug hammer through it. And ily sure there is a way to enable developer options somewhere in settings (maybe like a combination of things you have to press in a specific order) so that they can make new software updates.

I went to the messaging app, I clicked the top right corner and clicked setting, than clicked Default SMS app, and at the top right corner u can search things you'd normally search on privacy. Idk if this means anything, ya'll smarter than me😭
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Oooh also! I have a great idea! This might not work but like... I was looking through recovery mode, and I saw apply update from SD card. And when I clicked it, it said pick a package from SD card to send. Sooo I thought, maybe I could try and put a APK on a SD card, put the SD card on the phone, and than try and unbox it in recovery mode. Could work! I'ma ask my dad for a SD card so than I can try this.

[General Topics] unbreakable heeckeer:
You can probably just install an app to the SD card. Thats how they recommend some people to transfer files. Idk how to do it, but if you took the storage of the app and pasted it to the SD card, it would probably work. One theory I have is that if you put the SD card into another phone and move the storage to the SD card, it might work. I've seen tutorials on how to move it their with an app, but I havent' tested it yet.

There would be nothing to open the APK file once the APK is on the phone trust me I've tried.
[General Topics] Mr. Macphisto:
Where exactly does an apk file install to on a normal android phone? I mean, where is it unpackaged? Or does an apk installer just tell the phone how to read the files contained in the apk? I'm asking because if I can locate where the files are on a normal android phone I can use an android emulator to download the already unpackaged apps onto the emulator and then upload them onto google drive using the emulator, and then redownload the apps from my google drive and onto my computer.

I've used this method to download computer apps that my school computer blocked me from installing, and it worked like a charm.

I'm not sure if you even can locate an unpackaged app on the emulated phone, but that's the hurdle I'm trying to make right now.
[General Topics] Mr. Macphisto:
The emulator is located here. https://www.apkonline.net/runapk/start-androidapk.html?app=android_blank
