[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GZKPT:
Hi, in the latest version of the camera app i can't find an option to take a picture istantly when double pressing the power button. I'm able to open it when using the gesture but the new app lack the option to snap the picture once opened. Is there a way to install the old version of the app?

I tried to install an older apk with "app clone" but unfortunately it crashes on start up, no matter what option i select for the cloning process.

The feature they removed made my life so much easier at work so i would like to find a solution/alternative, anyone can help me solve this issue?
[Linux] 『フレーバー』:
Yea, I just gotta let you guys know.
[Linux] DrScrad:
I'm a fellow user of Arch based distros as well (generally Endeavor or Garuda with the blackarch and chaotic aur keyrings installed on top of)
[Linux] 『フレーバー』:
Honestly, I prefer the regular arch or arco.
[Linux] NullCode:
I also use arch btw

Honestly arch is an OS that everyone should use
[Linux] ironLink21:
I use Arch based distros as well XD haha. I use Arch for my servers and Manjaro for my daily drivers at home and work!

I recently convinced one of my co-workers to switch from windows to Manjaro the other day and now he's starting to see the light haha!
[Linux] NullCode:
bad decision man

he'll start hating Linux like hell after a couple of days lmao
[Linux] HipKat:
Why?? I've been using it for over a year without issues
[Linux] ironLink21:
Actually he loves Linux. There are a couple things here and there that are annoying to him but that's the same on every OS.

He's also been using it for the last couple of months. He loves the CLI. Before he switched he was trying to use the CLI along with WSL on windows and that stuff just isn't quite there yet. I have used them before personally, and can say that with confidence.

He still uses windows in his gaming machine but the funny thing is, when he goes to use windows he gets super annoyed because he wants to change something or tweak something and can't and gets super frustrated with windows.
[Linux] abuyamizan:
why??
[Linux] 『フレーバー』:
Actually I kinda disagree. The installation is pretty difficult and it's highly likely people ruining the system after using it
[Linux] SerjSX:
I use Arch Linux as well! XFCE

Definitely more stable and faster than Windows 10.
[Linux] 『フレーバー』:
Dammmn, I prefer kde but xfce isn't that bad either.
[Linux] SerjSX:
I use XFCE for performance since I have an old laptop, but I would definitely choose KDE when I have a faster laptop.
[Linux] HipKat:
KDE's great. I use it with Manjaro AND I use it on my old Acer (OEM) Win 7 Mini Laptop and it's quite fast, so @SerjSX you might have better performance with it than you think on your old Laptop
[Linux] sammiev:
Manjaro has too many mods which causes most of their problems.

Been using Arch openbox and xfce for years now.

Playing with Archlabs for over a year now and enjoying the ride and the find people there.

If you can't install Arch manually the Arch way, you likely shouldn't be using Arch.
[Linux] HipKat:
I haven't installed it yet, but I agree and being more of a "purist" at heart, I look forward to installing it when I finally get the chance the way it was intended to be installed
[Linux] coolgoose1:
Dual booting all machines with Arch as my primary OS. I keep Windows around just in case. Big fan of Arch, to the point that I have Arch Linux Arm on my raspberry.
[Linux] HipKat:
I finally had my first glitch with Manjaro. A lib file won't update in Package Updates (Audio related) and it won't allow me to uninstall that file or reinstall over it without an error for Corrupt Package.

This is on my Mini Laptop I use for testing so I might try that Arch build, finally or another Arch-based OS besides Manjaro
[Linux] sammiev:
Started using Arch on a test machine years back before making it my main OS.

It's the best way to learn Linux.
[Linux] HipKat:
That's what I'm thinking also. And I'm not new to Linux, just to Arch LOL
[Linux] NullCode:
of course. Arch is not a beginner friendly distro

You'll need to have a lot of preparation and basic knowledge before shifting to Arch
[Linux] Crysis2:
HAHAHAHAHA!

An old Archer here.

Been using Arch for Almost 10 years and being one of local users Admin & wiki writer i shall say installing arch is like walk in park! :D
[Linux] Cilekcigs:
arch = good
[Linux] Tetractys:
Best choice! me too and on testing repos. (compiling the kernel 5.16y-rt at the moment)

But i'm a retired IT and i have the time to experimenting (Timeshift is my friend!)

A thing is sure: Arch based distros are fantastic and easy for the first steps: solid, complete, beautiful and very easy to manage.

Manjaro highly suggested (deep and complete wiki).
[Linux] Alienatick:
I use Artix BTW!!
[Linux] sammiev:
Takes this long to install Archlinux, a little longer for me with two fingers.
[Linux] HipKat:
For a week and a half now, I've been running full-time Manjaro, except for Gaming, I have to go back to Win 11. The one game I play the most (Enemy Territory) has a Linux open-source package but it crashes my monitor.

I thought about checking EndeavorOS out but I'm good here until the day I do a complete line by line Arch install
[Linux] jenneh:
Seriously, Thank You, For Taking Us with You. I questioned, ARCH. I No Longer Do. Have a Beautiful, Day!~!
[Linux] :
Who uses debian fyi
[Linux] nuud:
Great thread
[Linux] caroline!:
Nice to meet you.
[Linux] :
I'm running artix on an old laptop.
[Linux] HipKat:
I just put Endeavor on an old laptop. It's ok. Nothing overly I'mpressive.

I still like Manjaro better but I think it's time for a new Arch-based Distro on my Desktop
[Linux] :
I put Manjaro on my brother's old laptop and themed the KDE Plasma to be like Mac OS.
[Linux] HipKat:
The only issue I have with my Manjaro install is that when I first boot up/reboot, it takes awhile for things like my Browsers, games I play, etc to open. Once they'vce opened once, they're fine after that.

I don't know if it's the OS or the fact that it's on an older 500GB HDD
[Linux] DrScrad:
Might be the HDD speed if you're accustomed to that of a SSD
[Linux] HipKat:
I thought of that but it's only the first time I open anything. After that, my browsers, games, etc all open as normal
[Linux] DrScrad:
So it's not when you first boot up? But when you open programs for the first time?
[Linux] HipKat:
Yep. Booting up is fine.

I think I'm going to buy a 1TB M.2 SSD. I see they're super affordable on Amazon.

I have so much storage now, it's stupid.

500GB SSD now used for WIndows.

500GB HDD for Linux

4TB, partitioned 2TB/2TB HDD for Windows programs and storage

4TB EHD for my Video storage/server

My Mobo has 1 M.2 slot and I've been wanting to use that for my Win11 base install. (I have all my Win programs other than browsers and games on a 4TB WD Black HDD).

The 500GB SSD, I'll reformat and use for my Sony TV for expanded storage and recording (I stream everything the not-so-legal way), and I'll buy a new 1TB SSD for maybe going to a different Arch-based distro or just pure Arch.

The 500GB HDD Manjaro is on now can become another storage drive or something - although it's old as hell. It was my C: Drive on the custom build I did on 2011 lol

I'm on vacation this coming week so I have time to play around but I want to make sure it's not drive related
[Linux] jan6:
I use Artix btw, because down with the soy-stemD monopoly, rise up, alt init gang ;p

because of using runit, pipewire has been a little tricky to properly set up, as there's no user services by default, for runit (you can make it have them though), other than that, it's as stable, if not more so, than it was using Debian for years beforehand... I've no clue why the average linux user seems to consider Arch "unstable", as long as you update repos and rest of the OS along with installing stuff (-Syu something, instead of -S something), there's no more problems than other distros...
[Linux] MPK99:
Most of the "Vanilla Arch" users are actually Anti-Distro. Caz they don't want to have any pre-chosen software prebuilt out of the box, rather they prefer choosing their own set of software, which is what exactly Arch does.

And most of us like Arch not because of it's difficulty in installation, but because of it's "set standards", simplicity of user choice & straight forward updated documentation.
[Linux] :
Yes, Arch has a very complete wiki
[Linux] HipKat:
After driving Arco-Linux for a few weeks (Switching back and forth from KDE to XFCE), I switched to Garuda yesterday. If you like eye candy, this is it and so far, not one issue. Even scaling works on everything! (Not true with Arco).

One thing, I used yay to install a game I play and if I go to the folder where the exe is, I can start it, but it never created an entry in the packages list, so how can I create a "shortcut" on either my panel or Favorites to start the game with one click?
[Linux] hlaube:
I think, interesting it will get, if the hardware-setup is more complicated.

I run actually Arch with i3 as desktop.

I have 4 times 2 GB drives with BTRFS as my home drive, root is on BTRFS-Raid 2 and Boot/swap on ext4.

Here, arch was easier to manage then Gentoo, I used before in another setup of the drives.

Since my data are on a separate drive-package, I change from time to time the linux, when I want to test something new :)
[Linux] onlotus:
What blows me away about Arch Linux is its stupidly hard to install. I have installed many Linux distros and most you do not have to lookup directions on how to do it. Installing Arch feels like being blind folded and good luck installing it anyway you can. The instructions are on the web not even on the .img file. Manjaro Linux and Black Arch basically install themselves with hardly no instruction. Which says everything you need to know about Arch Linux...

p.s.

Maybe you could do a detailed installation or like a understandable guild I would love it. Because I have never been able to install Arch. Never even gotten to a GUI in Arch Linux. Only terminal commands to install that didn't work...
[Linux] zarathustra$:
I use Arch besed EOS?
[Linux] HipKat:
The newest Arch has a built-in installer so you don't need to do a Command-Line install anymore, but DistroTube on YT has a recent walkthrough on the install process
[Linux] sachinhole:
I Also use Arch + DWM btw. :p
[Linux] MPK99:
That's not true. You can access ArchWiki Installation section within ISO

By typing Installation_guide

There's also a TUI based guided script called archinstall

Installing arch is never been so easy before.
[Linux] onlotus:
Almost every Arch based Linux besides the real Arch Linux is easy to install. Arch Linux itself, not so much... I have used about 3 different versions of Arch. They all ran clean, stable, and truly a smooth branch of Linux. But as Arch being the start of all these other flavors. I would just like the option to not start the installation on a command line. I mean they are the foundation of Arch Linux.
[Linux] HipKat:
You don't need to use command line to install Arch any longer ,There are images that have self installers built-in

Installation guide - ArchWiki

[Linux] onlotus:
Yea you talking about something like this. Still fdisk -l and a lot of other cmd....

How to Install Arch Linux [Step by Step Guide]

Ready to get your hands dirty with the for-expert Linux distro? Here's a step by step guide to show you how to install Arch Linux.

itsfoss.com
[Linux] appye:
I used Arch for a some years until they stopped issuing it with the installer. Before that I was tried LFS and various source based distros, hopping around. I settled on Gentoo for maybe a year, ricing my systems to the nth degree. I got tired of Arch and bleeding edge rolling models once I started installing Linux for other people, with routine updates randomly breaking something once again. There went the rest of my day. This was the main reason I gave up on it. After trying some of the full desktop distros, I went with vanilla Debian and have been happy with it for the last six or seven years, and so are my users.
[Linux] HipKat:
Me too!!
[Linux] MPK99:
Say that you're terminophobic by not saying you're terminophobic XD
[Linux] :
Umm I highly doubt that

Everyone should use Fedora
[Linux] MPK99:
And the same says a windows guy "Everyone should use Windows" 😂
[Linux] NullCode:
won't elaborate further, cuz it'll be an OS war otherwise

im currently hopping between debian (android building) and arch (daily use), so yeah
[Linux] MPK99:
I built Android 12 on Arch too. All you need is lineageos-devel, rsync & jdk-openjdk
[Linux] HipKat:
After testing as many Arch-based distros, I finally settled on Arcolinux/KDE. It's been flawless for a few months now.
[Linux] MPK99:
Good for you ✌️

I always try to stay away from derivative distros & stick to vanilla such as Debian, Arch, Fedora, etc.

Why modify a good working distro & present in an another form?
[Linux] HipKat:
Agreed, but Arco is the closest to what I would do to a Vanilla install. Anything in that Distro I don't need get's removed anyway
[Linux] :
Wait I switched to Arch LOL. Everyone SHOULD use it! It's so amazing and fast!!
[Linux] maoosonyourdesk:

[Linux] maoosonyourdesk:

[Linux] NotusingArch:
I just came here to say I also use Arch.

I also did not create an account here just to make this comment.
[Linux] lucahack:
I use arch for the AUR btw
[Linux] lucahack:
I use arch without systemd: artix linux btw

so im superior to all arch users. Only and only Linux From Scratch and Gentoo users are superior or equal to me
[Linux] maoosonyourdesk:
(and people who managed to install another init system on regular arch)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] DenilCartel:
I am researching what phone to buy next and I've found 2 things I need to ask.

The Google Play store certification. Has this issue been fixed? I see posts from 1 month ago saying that the Netflix and Disney+ apps could not be downloaded. Is this now fixed?

Google Pay. Has this issue been fixed? Can google pay now be used on the OnePlus 9 pro? Did they get the security certification done?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
Certification issue was fixed via OTA several days after the phone came out. Most of the later Netflix/etc. issues were related to unlocked bootloader and rooted devices, but those apps are all working now.

Yes, Google Pay has been working since the certification fix and I use it regularly.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Funk Wizard:
Both the issues are fixed and I can confirm it, posting from my 9 Pro 😀
[OnePlus 9 Pro] lordxcom:
With root? Android 13?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Funk Wizard:
You just quoted a post from 2021, I would recommend you confirm this on A13 thread with users who use this device with root, Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] VinitBelam:
Just got the mi 11 ultra, it's an amazing device except for few issues. Battery is draining very fast for some reason. Nova Google companion does not work on the Nova launcher. Can't find an option for 90 Hz. I thought this device has variable refresh rate but it stays on 120 10.0.0.0.1 or 60 all the time depending on the option chosen.

Please help.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NatürlicheZahl:
Hi there,

I bought a HTCTD a few days ago and now I must notice that the battery only has power for about 7 hours. Today I had charged it until 8 am and now the battery hasn't got power anymore - 7 hours later, I haven't used anything like WiFi, Bluetooth or anything else which need extra battery.

Is this normal?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] slow23:
maybe you live in an area with bad reception.

if the diamond has to change between 3g and gsm all the time, the battery will drain very quickly.

try to disable 3g and check again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] arix:
Close all the background programs and see if u get same results...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NatürlicheZahl:
well,i disabled all connections in nodata except my wifi connection. is this ok?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] frederikk:
Hi,

try to put your diamond in plane mode... you will have no data or phone connection, but you will see if it lasts more !

Ciao

Fred
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NatürlicheZahl:
But then I will not be able to make calls anymore or receive any calls respectively.

Actually, my question was wether this is just normal or that something is wrong with the battery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] frederikk:
That's the fact !

You will see if it comes from connections or the phone himself... It's just for test, to see if your phone is ok.

Ciao

Fred
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
If you have just bought the Diamond than its a little early to complain.

A couple of charge discharge cycles will make the battery much better.

You have to "pop the battery's cherry" :D

After a week or so of charging you should get close to 24 hours with moderate to heavy use.

Most members stopped whining about battery problems because I believe we have all adapted to the Jewels ways.

Greetings and welcome.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ilogik:
OK, I'll take your word for it. I got the Diamond yesterday and charged it overnight, got up at 6am and the battery was at 10% by 10am.... I had to charge it 3 times throughout the day just to keep it from dying.

I think Sprint claims 5.5 hours talk time and 285 hours standby, hell I am not even getting 4 hours standby :( Cant they be sued for false advertising?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Sounds like a faulty battery or you have no idea of whats going on on the phone and you have all you connections on and all that stuff.

Search around the forum and read, you will be well informed after it.

Less that 4 hours standby is just wrong.

And a full charge to 100% form 0% should not take more than 2 hours.

Greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HtcDia:
i have been where you are now..... dont panic....

if your battery is not faulty then read what i had to say about the diamond when i first bought it. then read what i had to say some days later.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ilogik:
It definitely has to do with signal strength. I am at home today, took the phone off of the charger at 6am and 6 hours later I am at 80% with several calls made and running push email. When at work the usage doesn't really change but I am in an area with poor reception, and the battery dies in a few hours. It still doesn't really make sense, it shouldn't go down that fast. Even thought the Mogul was a battery hog it still lasted more then 1 day...

Got the same problem on my WhatsApp and other messanger video call with remi note 10 pro. But when I'm using a headset to make a video call, my voice was clear. There is bug in Miui 12.5, how much we need to wait for update of Miui.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] watermelon_sugar:
70% of the time there is a strong possibility of a bug in your smartphone; in addition, check for system program updates and check your sim slot for any disengagements.

Even after the upgrades, you still have those problems. Please replace your smartphone with a new one. This might possibly be a production fault.
[G1 Android Development] tupisdin:
Can remove simlock from HTC Dream and from any other HTC device.

You will get unlock code in 5 minutes to 72 hours.

P.S. you do not need to reflash, disassembly, hard reset your device!
[G1 Android Development] dagentooboy:
How is this better then just asking T-Mobile for the unlock code?
[G1 Android Development] Chryslerq:
I believe they will only unlock it after 6 months of service
[G1 Android Development] Black93300ZX:
90 days... But with the ETF, it's not like you're going to buy from T-Mobile then cancel and use it elsewhere after unlocking it through this guy. It's much easier to buy it off of a current T-Mobile subscriber if you plan on using it with another network.
[G1 Android Development] sumitescp:
you can just buy it from somewhere else. e.g. eBay and you might want to use it on other carriers. or you might just want to have an unlocked phone in case you travel and put different sim card on it.
[G1 Android Development] Black93300ZX:
Right, I understand the reason for having an unlocked phone... I don't think I'd pay that much for an unlock, but whatevs. :P
[G1 Android Development] dagentooboy:
It seems like the XDA Dev team will probably have a way to unlock it in a couple weeks anyway especially if the OS is open.
[G1 Android Development] Black93300ZX:
You have to remember, it's only on T-Mobile in the US for now... I don't know if I should expect the developers of SIM unlocks (olipro/cmonex have done most of the work in that department) to get their hands on one... Maybe they'll grab one just for development, but for all we know their only plans could be to stay with the Touch Diamond/Pro/HD.
[G1 Android Development] beartard:
I dunno. We still don't really know how "open" the Android OS is yet. Although the kernel is open and freely available, it handles low-level hardware functions. SIM functions seem to be handled higher up in the Android stack and not all the Android source code has been released yet. Unless I'm missing something, it's a wait-and-see situation as far as SIM unlocking goes.

Even if I were to want an unlocked G1 (which I don't) I'd be wary of shelling out $50 for an unlocker to a phone that hasn't been released yet. And honestly, tmo's unlocking policy is very liberal as it is.
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
i am not a t-mobile customer, but the rest of my family is. i buy t-mobile phones all the time and i get the unlock code no problems. i'm not sure on if they are gonna give the unlock code right away, but if not i can always get the unlock code through my family. i hope we get a free unlocker before i get around to getting the phone
[G1 Android Development] heretic_osjc:
i work for t-mobile UK and on a contract you only have to have the phone for a month then you can buy an unlock code for £15

so you save yourself alot of money doing it via T-mobile UK plus they now issue most unlock codes on the spot unlike their old 28days in the post way
