[Valve Steam Deck] Terminal_Heat_Sink:
Hey guys, just putting this out there.

Valve said that you can install any OS you want on this including windows which is better for game support. Proton is great and all but doesnt have 100% coverage.

So what this means is it probably has an accessible BIOS (maybe even cpu undervolting possible) and should let you boot from sd card. This would be great for keeping steam os on the main storage just to see how it goes and for emulators. And then any game that doesnt run properly under proton you can quickly plug in an sd card with bootable windows and play those games there.

What do you guys think if this is possible would you do it? or what other os would you install?
[Valve Steam Deck] elchmartin:
As seen on many SBCs (i.e. RPi, odroid...), sd-card booting is rather slow.

You Do not want that for a Windows-Installation.

My guess is that they wanted to make thing as cheap as possible. A Windows 10 license adds somewhat $50-$100 to the pricetag. Plus they would have to certify the steamdeck for Windows.... Also adds costs, time and maybe IT is not possible at all.

I'd rather go with swapping PCIe-SSDs. Although that might void the warranty.
[Valve Steam Deck] bitpushr:
I agree, I think sd card booting will be slow. But, it's not impossible. Think, booting Ubuntu with a CD. It's slow to boot but once booted mostly everything is in memory and pretty quick.

Same speeds, usb3 speed, that's how I see it, or usb 2 most likely for most...

That's your actual hardware speed...

chip performance re: running an os, my ssd is faster than the old ones with moving part's... ssd loses files, the old ones we could find easier... with rstudio etc..

Think about it... your ssd is using usb (most likely 3) to transfer through the usb bus...

And if memory serves me correctly, ssd's can only handle on average 200,000,000 read write's, now what does all this mountin partitions do?

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sourabh.coder:
Hi,

I installed YT Vanced through their manager app via root (magisk) and then (for some reason) installed microG from magisk, thinking it is the same microG that vanced uses.

Now that didn't work so I uninstalled the module and in doing so somehow play store and services were converted into user apps. I flashed the ROM once but they didn't switch to system app so I uninstalled them (dunno what I was thinking) and tried flashed ROM again.

I flashed the ROM by downloading it from oxygen updater and flashing it in settings and then flashing magisk again from the app, but play store and services don't come back.

I tried the flashing process 2-3 times, so pretty sure I have flashed it on both partitions by now, but no luck. How do I get them back?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
Root versión of ytvanced (from official vanced manager)don't need VANCED microG, so I don't know why you flashed the microG version from magisk manager.

To restore your apps you should do a factory reset.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Pixel5xD:
Hello is it possible to block incoming calls unless in my contact list. I have tried the do not disturb function and it still shows the number who called in my call log. Is there a way to block it so it just doesn't ring or go to voicemail or show in my call log. Spam calls getting annoying now thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] andybones:
@Pixel5xD Sounds much like the old Call/Message block that I recall when I was using the SG3/SG4.

May need to try a 3rd party application to achieve this on Pixel, but I can't say for sure::

call/message block - Android Apps on Google Play

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] pearlheartgtr:
I know this is a few months old, but I've been using Calls Blacklist Pro and it does exactly what you're asking. I needed something like the old CM dialer that blocked anything not in my contacts list. I've tried just about everything out there and this is the only one that really works for me.

Calls Blacklist PRO - Blocker - Apps on Google Play

Block numbers: unwanted calls and texts, call blocker. Full version, no ads.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
The app hasn't been updated in 2 years and spammers have found a way around it. I've found I don't get as many with the native Google dialer block but I still get some. The good thing is I now have a brand new warranty for my car that I sold 3 years ago. In the description is says you can block any number after they call. That is pointless since you will never get a repeat caller, they just move to the next number on their list. The new government protocol is useless too, they've gotten around that as well. I do wish they would have a global block like (area code)+first 3 digits of your phone number. Nonetheless, I'm down to about one or two a day from 10 previously.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] pearlheartgtr:
I'm still using the app and I have never gotten a spam call because I block everything that isn't on my contacts list. That was the point of the thread. He was looking for something that blocked everything but the contacts.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I get that. But look at the reviews saying it doesn't work any longer. Non contact calls still getting through. They need to update the app I believe.

edit: does the native spam blocker in the dialer not work with contacts only? I do wish there was an option that spam gets a "this is not a working number" message instead of ringing silently or screening. I also think a global block like (620) - 345* would be a good thing since many calls are spoofed from my area code + my first 3 numbers.

Lastly to the OP @Pixel5xD How do you handle calls from businesses or medical offices not on your contact list? If those get blocked and don't even screen you must miss a lot of appointments.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
In the Phone app, go to Settings > Spam and Call Screen > Call Screen. Enable "automatically screen" or "Silently decline" for spam, possibly faked numbers, first time callers, and private/hidden. The only calls that should come through are your contacts or numbers that have called before. When the Assistant is screening a call, remember to use the "Block/Report Spam" option on numbers you don't want to get repeat calls from.
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
Hi All,

It seems like when I'm looking for a mod for one of my HTC GSM phones that VoLTE is one of the "bugs" listed in the rom (but this is intended as a general VoLTE question not an HTC question so please don't move the thread). Is this common enough it shows VoLTE is a difficult thing to implement?

If so, what makes it difficult?

Some providers (at least AT&T) are dropping 3G so VoLTE is becoming more and more important. As other carriers do this the VoLTE "bugs" will be a bigger problem and it would be nice to see a unified approach to solving it.

Your thoughts?

I am about to upgrade my hard drive and never tried before an SSD, so what members recommend on this?

Does it worth to move to an SSD? as I understand they're much more expensive than traditional ones.

Any suggestion is kindly appreciated :)
[Battlestations] andrewmurray86:
What are you hoping to achieve, obviously you can see the cost difference, but unless you've used them the speed difference may be harder to describe.

I have HD on my home PC, boot time and system start up is where I see the most difference.

SSD start up time is much faster. So you may be able to get an SSD for the system partition only, run your OS from the SSD and some key programs, then use HD for storage.

If cost is not a factor then you could go all out and get a higher capacity SSD and run everything from it
[Battlestations] strongst:
I'm using SSD's since 2013 and still using the Samsung SSD 840 120GB from that time together with another Samsung SSD 850 Evo + 2 M.2:

- Corsair Force MP510 240 GB, SSD NvME M.2

- Samsung MZ-V7E1T0BW 970 EVO 1 TB NVMe M.2

With the limited access time of HDD's and the limited speed compared to the very low prices of solid state drives you can't go wrong in any way except the storage, or GB per $/€/¥ which is still higher than HDD's.

But since you can get cheap SATAIII SSD's for 30 bucks or even M.2 ones for simply system partition hosting, you benefit in that way a lot and have a fast system experience 👍
[Battlestations] blackhawk:
Just make sure the interface is compatible. Older PCs may not be. Had that issue with a SATA hybrid hdd.

A SSD for the OS drive and a hdd as a data drive should work well.
[Battlestations] orb3000:

SSD is an absolute game changer. Going from HDD (even a fast 10k RPM one in RAID) to an SSD makes everything dramatically faster...even if you're just using a lot of Chrome etc. I'm using an NVMe drive, which is even faster than traditional SSD.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] kaalatittar:
Hello Stalwarts

I will be digitalizing all family photos in the cloud soon. They range from B&W from 70s to late 90s. I have a semi professional 'photo-box' set up to place photos in there and click them using either phone.

For those who have both, can you kindly comment on quality of photos for these two - as in should I take them with PG pixel and let Google store in Full res or take them on Pixel 5 and store in Google Photos at 'standard resolution' now called Storage saver quality

- Is the latter good enough for viewing on a laptop / phone screen for quick access ?

- Also is the latter good enough for 5" X 7" prints if I need them at a later date ?

Any other thoughts / ideas on above method, pros cons critique ?

PS I do not want to set up a home NAS/RAID etc etc as I am dissatisfied with the phone app of any such service [ e.g. Moments ] that I researched and the price plans of current paid non Google providers such as MS/pCloud etc etc .

PPS Price is a semi- object. I already have a OG Pixel and Pixel 3. So those are no cost to me but if the (standard resolution) picture quality of Pixel 5 is that much better, I will buy a Pixel 5 (or 6 if they allow unlimited standard res back up Like the Pixel 5 ) for this specific purpose.

Am I crazy ?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] l7777:
"standard resolution" isn't a function of the phone/camera but a function of Google Photos when images are sent to it. I suppose there will be some differences based on the source photos but I'd be shocked if you could see them.

As to whether you will notice the difference between the original and "standard" in a print your best bet would be to print one of each and see what you think. Your eyeballs are the only ones that count in that instance.

Personally I let Photos do standard resolution and then also save the original on my own file server. I can use Photos to view and the originals to print if I want to.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] kaalatittar:
Thank you for replying

I understand Std Res is function of google photos, but I wonder how the FULL res of camera / sensor from 2016 of Pixel OG compares to "just the std res" of photo from camera / sensor from Pixel 5 of 2020

Not sure if that clarifies my qn
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Do your homework. Save at native resolution; you should dictate the resolution not Gookill!

I would also put them on the PC and back them up to at least 2 hdds that are physically* and electronically isolated from each other as well as from the PC. Do Not encrypt.

Trusting cloud backup can turn into the perfect storm and complete data loss.

There are only two kinds of data users, those who have lost data... and those who will.

Always use redundant backup for critical data.

*best stored in a earth grounded box or safe in separate locations. Rewrite them every 2-3 years.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] kaalatittar:
hmmmm

thank you for chiming in

I agree that redundancy is the key but I always thought cloud services from a Big corp like Gookill will have much much more ways to back up to protect them from loss than my 2 well grounded brand name HDDs/SSDs.

I would love to save all of them in full res but in Pixel 5, those count towards the google 15GB limit, hence the qn of saving in Full res with OG pixel ( where they dont count) or use newer cam / sensor of Pixel 5 and just use standard res
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Originals should always be stored at full resolution. It's a no brainer.

For sharing lower res can be used... they are throw aways.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] kaalatittar:
I agree

I have a feeling that my question is not being understood

I want to use GooKill photos as primary source of back up

for free

options to use gookill photos are pixels

OG pixel @ native full res

or

Pixel 5 but at 'standard' resolution

anyone has opinion / experience how std res of P5 in Google photos compares to full res of PG pixel ? mainly for viewing on phone/24" screen and occasionally for printing no bigger than 5 x 7 s
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Primary backup should always be multiple hdds.

I prefer enterprise class drives but the chances of losing 3 properly stored standard hdds at once is still astronomically high.

They will likely outlive you... no offense intended.

Make sure they are brought to room temp before spinning them up. Magnetic retention is better at a lower constant temperature ie 50-70°F

Always protect them from near lightning strikes and magnets... like bookshelf speakers.

I have ones that still remained readable with no data corruption after 10 years in less than ideal conditions. They can be quit durable.

You can never have too much backup.

Hi note 3 neo users. I am trying to build lineage-17.1. I am not a developer.

I am just a fan of Aman Kumar (Firelord)

And trying to understand what he did and how he did without having this phone.

All credits goes to Firelord and hard working devs of Exynos5420 team

Made our device tree look like devices from this site, its a different cpu but not so much different from ours https://github.com/exynos5420

Taking logcats of errors and applying patches from this site to our kernel and device tree https://review.lineageos.org/

Finally i built a working lineage 17.1 recovery. You can flash atached image directly from twrp. Its not a big thing but first for our device. I worked hard to make it work and fit to our recovery partition.

Our kernel version is 3.4.39. I am upstreaming it to 3.4.113 step by step.

Now i am on 3.4.41. Patching updates, solving conflicts, compiling kernel and testing it for every incremental update like 3.4.40 to 3.4.41.

After we got a working 3.4.113 version kernel i think everything will be more easy.

I will share every 10 step like 3.4.50 - 3.4.60.... if anyone wants to test. We can use upstreamed kernel on lineageos 14.1 either.
