Tired of the almost daily posts here of people locked out of their phone and/or trying to recover encrypted or erased data. A one bit data corruption (SEU) in a critical file is all it takes.

Dropped damage mobo failures are far more common.

99.9% of your data is only special to you.

Even if backed up you will lose some data in a failure or lockout. If your backup data is also encrypted and you lose access for whatever reasons you are boned. A failure by your own design🤣

If you lost all your data, everything, forever, how what that hit you?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] yojo84:
Hello,

I bought a Samsung S8+ from someone.

Initially it worked, but during a facebook video call, the phone went off.

It was impossible to turn it back on, except in download mode. (It doesn't even boot up to the Samsung logo)

So I used Frija to download the latest OS for the G955F XEF, and flashed with ODIN (CSC File).

Odin indicates that the flash was successful but the phone does not restart and still does not turn on, except in download mode.

So I tried a flash again with Nand erase. Once again, the flash went successfull, but the phone does not start except in download mode.

I'm not sure what to do anymore: unsure:

Thanks for your help :)

I'm running on Miui 12.5.2. I noticed that the phone runs in 120hz on ui,instagram and when using chrome(but when watching a video on it it goes to 60Hz).But on Youtube,Netflix and in games it goes to 60Hz again(including opening youtube inside chrome). This 'Variable' Refresh rate is quite bothering and ruins the point of why i got the phone to watch movies etc in 120hz. Has anyone managed to fix the Refresh rate to 120hz? Any Stock rom or custom rom solutions?

P.S flickering occurs due to this random change in refresh rate too.

[Fire TV General] kjay7:
Hello, I have a rooted fire stick (tank) with build 5.2.7.3. I too have disabled Amazon Launcher and replaced it with ATV launcher and Markus Firetools for settings.

Prime Video app used to work fine but since two days it is showing 'error code 8056' though the app version is matching to the one on the app store. More over it is forcing to update the OS. I tried clearing data, cache, updating the app through app store but it did not work.

Is it safe to update to 5.2.8.2 build through magisk to fix this error? Will it loose root access? Will it blow the efuse and lock the bootloader? I'm much worried about that. Pls clarify.

Edit: I have blocked and disabled the OTA updates as well. So it stays on 'Checking now' on the update screen.
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Enable ota Updates over ADB and you can pass the update Screen. Then disable it again.

Yes you have root if you have flashed magisk.

But there is anything changed from Amazon, you can delete System Files, but can not write to system "no space left".

I think Amazon dynamic resizes the System Partition, currently i have found no solution for that.....

Maybe @Sus_i have a idea for that.
[Fire TV General] kjay7:
Can I allow ota access and let it update automatically to 5.2.8.2 or flash the zip manually through twrp? What's the correct way?
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
I would Flash manual over twrp ( Flash Firmware and Magisk ) and then allow ota.
[Fire TV General] kjay7:
Ok, what version of magisk is suitable for this device? Can I just rename the Magisk-v23.0.apk → Magisk-v23.0.zip and install it through twrp?
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Use 20.4, 23 not working without mouse to accept root request.

20.4
[Fire TV General] vel_tins:
Same here.

Will try to disable updates completely somehow and check what happens than...

EDIT: has somebody tried to completely remove the updater APKs, instead of just disabling them?

Should be (tank):

Remount the system r/w doesn't work?
[Fire TV General] kjay7:
Guys, here's the thing. I have wiped system, data, cache and installed 5.2.8.2 and magisk 20.4 through twrp. After the initial boot, did the basic setup. Noticed something weird with the prime video app. When I open the app or say 'open prime video' through alexa, it throughs the error code 8056 and says update required. Where as when I say 'search prime video' or 'search <movie>', the prime video app opens successfully and doesn't show any error! How can this be fixed?

BTW the build installed is 5.2.8.2 but on the update screen 5.2.8.0 is shown as new update!
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Remount works, same on TWRP "No space left on device"

I can delete but not write.

I have noticed this problem, i don't really need write access on my Stick.

But it is funny.

Maybe its a Problem with my Stick or Amazon has changed anything. ;-)

[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Make all Updaten and then disable OTA.

Maybe you must flash tz.img like the 4K Stick.

Is it possible for you to upload 'Fire OS 5.2.8.0 (668694820)' ota zip file? Though 5.2.8.2 is installed on the device, it is fetching 5.2.80 from the amazon server as an update and prompting to install that version. Can't install that from Firestick UI, so I need the zip file.

Thank you. But in the meantime, I tried flashing 5.2.7.7 from you last post. The prime video app is working fine in that firmware. No error code 8056 when the app is launched. Will stick to this version for now as the UI is faster.
[Fire TV General] abcdef2015:
I followed your firmware installation and debloat guide, so thanks for that.

Seeing that ftvs2k-5.2.8.2 is relatively new and might slow down my old Firestick tank, I decided to flash ftvs2k-5.2.7.7 instead using your scripts. I was wondering if it is worth upgrading to 5.2.8.2 without impacting the performance or the rooting, and if so, can I do it later on after installing apps without the need to completely starting from scratch (i.e. I will just run the command to install the firmware without wiping anything)?
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Yes you can, remove the wipe lines from the script. Reflash magisk after firmware flash.

Notepad for Windows Mobile - My First App!

Hello everybody,

It is really wonderful to see such a group of talented developers here. I am really amazed to see everyone's dedication. So much so that I felt like contributing. But there is a roadblock ahead of me.

I am a proficient developer. My domain is JavaScripting, PHP, ASP, C# .NET. I am very new to the world of Windows Mobile.

In fact, I found that I am wasting too much of time Googling even simplest of things! In fact, I am still stuck at how to work have transparent controls for Windows Mobile .NET Compact Framework!

What I would request is if someone could give me a headstart with links/tips upon simplest things for transition of C# Desktop development to C# Smartphone development (especially for Diamond as I own one!)

If I am reposting anything without searching or if I am repeating, kindly excuse me for this time and point me to proper threads!

Thanking you again!

Did that! And that is how I made my first app. And just as a note, I do develop C# apps for desktop and as you can see, have developed simple WM apps too!

I just found no good resource as to solve very specific issues like: Control's image background and transparency, etc!

I need to know few things... please help:

1. How do I create transparent controls or have background images of textboxes, labels, etc!

2. If I apply an icon to the application (in solution properties), I get a build error "CVTRES fatal error : cannot read file.", though the same icon file is loaded when I assign it to the main Form's Icon property!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shamasis:

MSDN has some solutions (regarding the transparency issues), but did not find anything concrete!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeckoDev:
Technically the CF does not support transparent controls, but as with anything, there are some tricks to simulate it. You might try searching Google Groups in the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework group for some pointers. As for myself, although I did get some workable controls using those tips, I found it was more trouble than it was worth. "Roll your own" is my motto now. I hardly even use the standard label control anymore.

As for your icon issue, remove the 256x256 version from the ico file. That should do the trick.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shamasis:
Windows Mobile Icon Issue solved!

Yes right!!! It was stupid of me not to have verified the icon support for this platform.

With a lot of searching, I realized packing: 64x64, 43x43, 32x32, 21x21, 16x16 in 256 colours would be the best idea.

I used IconFX... Great tool See: http://icofx.ro/

The update exe is now way smaller. Do have a look.

BTW: Thanks a ton.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeckoDev:
I was going to suggest that to you as well ... best free icon editor I've found.

You probably don't need all of them. From what I've been able to tell, the OS only uses the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 versions. I think I read that on MSDN somewhere, but I don't have a reference. Either way, those have worked fine for me. Remember that you need to take steps to reduce your footprint on mobile devices.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shamasis:
Useless Icon Sizes!

Is it so?? I mean... I read some MSDN blog that said for square devices you need 21x21 and 43x43! If you say that its pointless to include them, I will be more than happy to scrap those non-standard sizes! :D

From: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/03/02/320x320-revisited.aspx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeckoDev:
Heh ... I was wondering where those weird sizes came from. :) OK, so if you're developing for square too, then maybe you do need them. I've only concerned myself with VGA/QVGA so far, so I probably misspoke.

As bloated as ico files are, I'm surprised they decided on two additional sizes for squares. I have an app with all kinds of cool graphics that are only 3-5 kb, but the icon with only a few sizes is 90-100kb, which is about 1/3 of the total exe size ... just for an icon!!! That might be why some apps have different installers for square screens, so the footprint for each stays lower.

Hi , if you are still looking for transparent control look at this :

The ability to draw bitmaps transparently though the usage of the ImageAttributes parameter still exists in the .NET Compact Framework, but it's a little bit more work than on the desktop.

ImageAttributes imageAttr = new ImageAttributes();

// Make a transparent key

imageAttr.SetColorKey(Color.White, Color.White);

//Use the key when drawing

gxOff.DrawImage(m_bmp, imgRect, 0, 0, img.Width, img.Height,

GraphicsUnit.Pixel, imageAttr);

Screen Mode Bug Fixed.

I have solved this issue. Now you should have no problem while changing from portrait to landscape and vice versa. Do check out and let me know. Download updated file

Regarding the other bug: I have seen this issue on many devices. In my opinion, it is a problem (limitation) of DOTNET Framework. Try upgrading to latest DOTNET CF and do the testing.

Also, if this problem persists, I presume there will be a workaround for this. But the workaround may be at the cost of loading time and memory usage. Should I proceed in that direction?

PS:

I am planning all the existing Notepad features for this application. That Includes Find and Replace and Zoom.

Hi Shamasis,

I was looking for a Windows Mobile Notepad to edit .reg and .ini files on my PDA without having to copy the files to PC and back again. Your Notepad is a very cool start but has one problem for me: it only saves in ANSI format and not in UNICODE format.

I can use your Notepad to view the files but not edit them unfortunately. The *.ini for many of my applications needs to be in UNICODE and doesn't accept ANSI after opening and saving in Notepad.

Can I make a feature request for Save As... UNICODE? Or perhaps you can automatically resave in the same format the opened file was?

Hello there,

Since about half a year ago I've been happily rocking a pair of OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z. Great earphones, not much to complain about, especially since I got them for less than 17€. I've been carrying them in my backpack ever since.

There's one little inconvenience though: every now and then they detach from each other and they connect to the phone.

How do you guys keep together your magnetically attached earphones? What do you do to keep them from accidentally separating?

Thanks!
