[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Qhrowe:
Hey everyone! haven't been in xda since the htc windows phones (long time I know). So I ordered the rog 5 (Amazon: Asus ROG Phone 5 ZS673KS / I005DA 5G Dual 128GB 8GB RAM GSM Factory Unlocked (GSM Only | No CDMA - not Compatible with Verizon/Sprint) Tencent Games with Google Play - Black). Total after tax was $707. I've been reading regarding the tencent version problems, I didn't really buy this phone for gaming or the 5g speed and such. so those things don't bother me. Updates and other important things will obviously bother me. I found this (https://xdaforums.com/t/update-your-asus-rog-5-tencent-ww-version-easy-and-on-the-phone.4296575/) very helpful. I haven't messed around with phones since the windows phones back in the day. I'd really appreciate it if you guys can give me links for catching up on everything (rooting, flashing etc etc) the phone will arrive in a week and I want to do all the researches I can until then. Please guys help me out. Thank you in advance.

[Wing, P4350 General] lennyjaxn:
I am one of the apparent few that believes PIE works better on the Wing than Opera Mobile or Mini, so I stick with it. I do, however, have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how to change the default location that streams are saved to (.pls, .ram, etc.) when opened in media player from PIE? the default is My Documents, but I'd like to change it to the Storage Card if possible. There has to be a reg key somewhere that handles this, right? I don't know, maybe it would make the stream run worse, but I was just wondering if it was possible.

2. Does anyone know how to make PIE (or Opera Mobile, for that matter) believe I have Flash installed? I do have it installed, but sites that I attempt to stream radio from keep insisting that I don't.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bissa:
Since I got my S21U 3 months ago I noticed the One UI Home Apps where you swipe right and left in either the drawer or on the pages. The transition is not smooth like it should. it is not lag, it is like random frame drop happening while moving left and right through the UI icons. I didn't notice fps drops in the settings or normal scroll in apps.

It is just that weird random fps drop during animation icons transition in the main page/drawer.

I have tried everything possible, from full reset to manually disabling services by package disabler to monitoring the CPU/GPU usage and FPS to forcing fixed 120Hz and I couldn't find a fix.

I am using the G9980 Snapdragon version 512GB/16GB

I noticed it as well. Comes And goes randomly.

Had an A72 with OneUI 3.1 with the same issue as well.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] schlagos:
Hi there,

I try to install lineageos on my xperia xz2 compact but i dont manage to get the bootloader unlocked.

The rooting status says : Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes. so i thought it should be fine but in fastboot mode the command

fastboot oem unlock <unlockcode>

gives me:

...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.069s

I tried with flashtool (found this in some forums) but i get some error as well. Even though i am not sure to use this program properly and I also got some

"No device is registered in Flashtool. You can only flash devices."

error message there.

any ideas?

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

FLASHING THIS WILL DELETE /BOOT AND /RECOVERY PARTITION!!

VERY IMPORTANT: YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FLASH TWRP OR ANY OTHER RECOVERY, AS /RECOVERY WILL BE SHRINKED TO 23 MiB AND TWRP SIZE IS AT LEAST 28 MiB.

this is a repartitioner for /boot partition (to 47 MiB instead of 32 MiB), to make it to work i had to shrink /recovery partition (as it's the nearest partition; /boot is /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 and /recovery is /dev/block/mmcblk0p11), it works in this way:

/tmp/sgdisk $DK --delete 10 -> deletes /boot

/tmp/sgdisk $DK --delete 11 -> deletes /recovery

/tmp/sgdisk $DK --new=10:124928:221184 -> creates /boot again, with Block Size: 124.928 and with Block Count: 96.256

/tmp/sgdisk $DK --new=11:221184:268288 -> creates /recovery again with Block Size: 268.288 and with Block Count: 47.104

To get these numbers i just did some mathematical proportions:

using a unix blocks to megabytes converter (http://www.unitconversion.org/data-storage/blocks-to-megabytes-conversion.html) i found that 65.536 blocks correspond to 32 MiB.

so i did:

65.536 : 32 = x : 47

where 65.536 is the block count, 32 are the corrisponding MiB, x is the block count to find to get 47 MiB and 47 are the MiB i wanted to have.

so i just did: (65.536 * 47) / 32 = 96.265 -> corresponding to 47 MiB.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Bartos81:
Updating system applications will work.

In xiaomieu this is disabled because some of the applications are from the Global version and some are original from the Chinese version only translated.

If you updated such a translated application, it would either be corrupted or be in Chinese.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 5G Questions & Answers] Didgeridoohan:
If it's been remotely locked, that means that the actual owner of the device has lost it somehow and you need to make sure it is returned to the rightful owner...

Circumventing FRP/remote lock on a lost or stolen device is not something we deal with on XDA.

2 days ago I was downloading the MIUI lasted version, 12.0.2 and everything was ok until it modified my notification bar and other apps, for example I used to have the notifications from WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and others when I received plenty all together, but now it's all extended with photos even, I want it on the old way cuz extended occupies too much space when I scroll down notifications. I will attached 2 examples on how it was and how it is, if somebody could help me I would really appreciate it, my cellphone it's a Xiaomi redmi note 9s.

Are there any decent browsers that compress audio feeds, so that they take up less bandwidth? Some of them mention video feeds... I like that as well.

I was actually testing Opera Mini And it does not seem to play audio on the background properly. First there are dropouts and then it just stops.

Thanks

Audio doesn't use that much bandwidth... most is already compressed to mp3or4 anyway.

I heard people had success going back to Android 8 but i didn't try that. As for the codec, as far as I can understand, changing it in the dev settings does not work. I believe the option is there but doesn't do anything.
