[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] Tyrell.W:
Hello to all of you, :cowboy:

I hope you are well in these difficult times.

I create this topic because I have a question after the first installation of a Rom on my smartphone.

I was often confused by the terms firmware Rom and by the file sizes and by the file terminations.

For my part I installed the Lineage rom for information, and I saw a .zip firmware of 145 MB.

Then in the topic we talk about flashing a firmware in .tgz of 4.1 GB which is almost 9.0 once decompressed.

And sometimes we talk about flashing a .zip Rom of 4.1 GB.

What exactly are the differences between these terms and these files?

And what are the relationships between each?

And what are their roles and uses?

Thank you very much for your help and answers.

Have a great evening and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] zaqm:
Hi you can read more by searching google but here it is in short:

Firmware - prerequisite before installing rom. It's required on custom roms only as on miui it's embedded in the rom itself. It's in zip file format and usually around 100MB.

Rom - the actual OS. Custom roms are zip files only which are around 1GB in size depending if they include gapps or not. Miui stock roms are recovery (zip file) or fastboot (tgz file). The fastboot file is flashed only by MiFlash. Recovery rom is smaller - 2GB while fastboot is around 4GB in size.

[Connected Car] ilmira:
hi folks,

is there someone that can explain to me how use the development tool offers by PSA to retrive information from connected vehicles ?

i'm referring to these pages for developers:

Stellantis for Developers

Stellantis Developers is the dedicated platform for application developers working with Stellantis connected vehicles API and SDKs.

developer.groupe-psa.io

developer.groupe-psa.com/inc

developer.groupe-psa.com

as reported in here:

About this API | Overview | Webapi B2C

Stellantis Accessing Party for End-Users API implements various endpoints to retrieve resources from enrolled end-users.

developer.groupe-psa.io

these APIs let the user to retrive status information from car, and also remote controls some features.

but how i should use these APIs to build an Android app (or a web page) to remotely monitor doors status (for example) of my car ?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] stolcojad:
Hello!

Ive got problem and im stucked.

im using shell scripts in termux to call actions in tasker.

im doing it like here:

https://glow.li/posts/pass-variables-from-termux-to-tasker/

so for example i can send sms like so:

#tasker#

system-> intent received action: net.dinglish.tasker.send

task:

send SMS: Number: %number; Message: %message

#termux# send.sh

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

am broadcast --user 0 -a net.dinglish.tasker.send -e number "$1" -e message "$2" > /dev/null

so when i execute send.sh 1234567 foo it send "foo" to 1234567

as you can see i can pass variable $1 and $2 and everything is working well.

But from few days im trying to send whatsapp message like this:

#Tasker#

profile: whatsapp

Action: phone->contact Via App

contact: MichaelX

app: .../vnd.com.whatsapp.profile

text: TEST_TEXT

#termux#

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

(this way) am broadcast --user 0 -a net.dinglish.tasker.whatsapp > /dev/null

(or this way) am broadcast --user 0 -a net.dinglish.tasker.whatsapp -e number "$1" -e message "$2" > /dev/null

But when im executing it, whatsapp isnt opening and im geting the Text value inside termux and output "TEST_TEXT" (or %variable) command not found...

How can I do it? How can I call it? Or maybe do YOu know any other way to call it from termux...

Thank You so much, couse im out of ideas how can i pass it.

Hey,

Have been messing around with the Advanced Config Tool for a bit (http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html) and I saw an option for "Finger Pressure" now, its set at a "custom" level by default, but do you think that by altering that setting I might be able to make it so that I don't have to press hard on the screen to get a reaction, like (I'm sorry) the Iphone?

Thanks in advance,

Nils

Edit:

I'm very hesitant to try it on my diamond because, well, I'm too protective of it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jeromenism:
was wondering about this too. anybody has any idea about this..?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
It's true.

But the best thing to do when you want the screen to respond when you touch it with a feather :p :

Re-allign your screen in 'Settings'

And when alligning, just VERY GENTLY apply force to the stylus, just press a LITTLE BIT HARDER just enough to make the cross move to the next spot.

It calibrates pressure to, I do that always when aligning.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kidnamedAlbert:
is that only a feature the diamond has? or would that work on my herald too?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
I really dont know :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Ok guyzz:

Only Works for GSM Diamonds.

If you want a really sensitive screen do this:

In advanced config go to:

HTC Touch Flow:

Pressure Threshold set to: 1

Finger Pressure set to: 1

Forget about the gentle stylus push on alignment of screen.

Hope all goes well let me know how it goes!

Greetings to all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kidnamedAlbert:
1? you sure?

wont that make it so we CANT touch the screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Im using those settings since I got the Diamond and it works great.

Give it a try its not a big deal. If you dont like it change it back to normal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] CashewNuts:
Advance config?

Hi Sergio

I'd like to do what you've suggested, but I have no idea how to get to Advance config... Can you assist on how to launch it? thanks a lot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kidnamedAlbert:

scrolling is so much smoother now

@CashewNuts, download advanced config here: http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:

Glad it help you out.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] simcarloc:
I tried this and couldn't feel a difference, that might be because I use Swift bl v7.5 which makes everything more sensitive to the touch anyway...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] krijger:
After i re-alligned the screen was the response a lot better then before. I use the Swift bl v7.0

Can anyone help with that?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Spawn12:
:confused: Seriously did you read the first post of this page...it quite clearly states in there the link for downloading the advanced config tool.

In case you cant read...heres the link:

http://www.touchxperience.com/en/ad...40-advanced-configuration-tool-downloads.html

Download the 3.2 cab then connect your phone and transfer the cab file to your phone and install it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blackb1ade:
Thanks

Just to explain, I didn't realise that this was a seperate app. and therefore that was a link to it - was thinking it was something I simply needed to know how to access already onboard the Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] salada2k:
Let me rephrase that for you:

the diamond is not limited by having a capacitive touch screen like the iphone :D Hence why you cant use a stylus or pen or finger nail with the iphone :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] weenween:
choose custom and the dialogue comes up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
o, btw, did the pressure and finger pressure settings both to 1 and froze my phone :( LUCKILY, i just backed my stuff up :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
This is not enough to freeze phone.

Something else froze it.

Try again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
well no, it didn't freeze the phone, but it froze the touch screen... i tried going into advanced config with the dpad but couldnt change any settings using only dpad :(

so not a complete freeze but without the Touchscreen working, i had to hard reset unfortunately
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] weenween:
Changed to setting as suggested. The result was great. Thanks for the tip.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] flindil:
wtf

Thanks, I followed your advice and now I have to hard reset my diamond.. Youre a champ..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
hey bro, this happened 3 times to me cuz they said to try it again...

here's what worked for me

pressure threshold : 100 or 50 (whichever you want, both worked butdon't notice much between the 2)

finger pressure: 1

haven't tried going lower than 100 or 50, hell, maybe 10 will work, but i'm SURE 1 will freeze your touchscreen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Hey dude it works for me and for other people, I don't know what it depends on and if it makes you feel better, I probably hard reseted my Jewel 30 times at least, testing settings and trying out different stuff to figure things out.

Greetings champ.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jeromenism:
i have a feeling that these people are just TROLLING the forums. nothing happened to their phone but for the sake of it, they say that they bricked their phone etc etc for attention.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
haha ok buddy. I'm not gunna say my phone wasn't functional when it was... really, who does that?

honestly, there's probably a difference in the cdma and gsm diamonds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
the setting works fine... gsm dia100. calm down
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dodojan:
work gut. I use setone's rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
that should be put in the OP that the dia100 can use these settings but the dia500 cdma cannot go so low on the threshold
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
sure, try slightly higher increments, 2,5,10 and let us know whats up!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Heinzibua:
1 and 1 working well

Also tried settings with 1 and 1.

works great, thx for advice !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mastermnd:
"1" also works with my Diam100. However the change is not too noticeable from the default "Extremely high" that advanced config sets up...

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] paquicuba:
I'm stuck

Can anyone reading this post please help me?

I did the following:

Pressure Threshold set to: 1

Finger Pressure set to: 1

Now I'm stuck at the password screen after reboot, since the touch doesn't seem to work.

Thanks a million!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xxviperzlairxx:
I would also like to express that the settings you have suggested have locked up my touchscreen.... Now I must hard reset.

Please be careful next time :X
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
This: Runs Great for Me

HTC Touch Flow:

Pressure Threshold set to: 1

Finger Pressure set to: 1

A world a part from the (Extremely High) setting which makes sense.

Extremely High refers to extremely high pressure needed.

Thanks, this improves my experience a lot Sergio!! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] johnchan78:
A VERY BIG update for you guys.

I have the Xperia X1. I found after doing the tweak, I couldn't use the touch screen at all.

Fortunately, the X1 has a keyboard and optical mouse, so I could control my way around the interface still.

I found that if you try to ALIGN THE TOUCHSCREEN again... that is, use the stylus, and press the + marks on the screen, I could use it again!

Somehow, changing the sensitivity seemed to throw off the location of the touch/pressure. Aftre re-aligning the screen, I could use the touchscreen again!

Maybe this helps you guys. Im not sure how you would navigate around since you guys dont have as much control as the X1, but hope this helps and gives you some clue and help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kam187:
Every phone is slightly different, which is why you have th alignment screen at the begining.

The screen always feels some pressure from the glass, and ths varies between diamonds. I imagine that '1/1' is very close to the natural pressure from the glass, and so a light touch enters over this threshhold and is detected.

However on some diamonds the natural pressure may be the same as 3 or 4 on this settings. So setting it below that value would make the phone think you are always pressing the screen.

Its kind of common sense really, i dont know why you guys have to have a go at each other.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Soul_Est:
I agree, don't argue. As for the difference between GSM and CDMA devices it is usually not the set the pressure threshold to low (or lower than the original) since you may end up with a non-working touchscreen. Such has been my experience. I would definitely disable the lock and use the camera button (or another assignable button) to access the start menu and allow the navigate to the screen calibration panel in order to recalibrate. I don't own a diamond but I believe this may be the case given the comments.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] polllux:
The setings of 1 & 1 works great for me, but I would get that edited to say it works for gsm & that cdma users it might cause screen freeze to avoid any further users who seem to have had problems with it, as it seems the cdma users might need a lot higher numbers settings or their screen f*cks up :p ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Cybertrek:
For GSM Users:

I find this setting to be the most efficient in Advanced Config 3.3=

Pressure treshold: High

Finger Pressure: High

High scrolling speed: 60

Low scrolling speed: 140

Aight? :)

Hey Guys,

I Recently got a Bootloop problem with my s10/SM-G973F.

And after trying every other way of solving this and not having USB- Debbuging activated or the OEM unlocked my last option is to save the Data.

And after figuring out i could save them with a TWRP recovery i always read that u need to have AVB disabled in order to flash a custom ROM , but beacause USB-deb. isn't active I see no way to flash TWRP without getting a vbmeta error or a even harder Brick.

Is there any other way to use TWRP, flash a new vbmeta.img/boot.img or save the Data

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Flashing Recovery / OTA / ROM is done by means of Fastboot, what requires phone gets booted into it's bootloader - what typically is done via ADB.
[General Questions and Answers] brekker:
If installing a custom Rom by ADB there will be no problems with AVB you mean?
[General Questions and Answers] brekker:
the problem with flashing by ADB in my case is that the phone isn't unlocked and i can't go into developer options to do so
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Can you boot into download mode? If so, you should be able to flash the stock firmware via Odin, just make sure you use the "Home CSC" file in the CSC slot in Odin when you flash the firmware nd not any other CSC, this should flash without wiping the user data that you are trying to save.
[General Questions and Answers] brekker:
I already tried a firmware flash(first try newest one/2. & 3. try older ones). Result: still bootloop/ only getting to recovery mode.

What brought me up with the idea that my own data probably is corrupt.

Since i CAN go to recovery mode i thought i might just change this one to TWRP from where i could save my date (safe to SD) but because AVB and bootlocker are active/locked i wasn't able to install TWRP(didn't try because i heard of vbmeta errors) .

Is there another way i could install TWARP in my situation or save the data?

Hi everyone!

This is the second day I'm using my brand new GW4 (bluetooth version), and the second time in a row that the watch popped up a cooling down message while charging. I haven't used its original charger but a Samsung Wireless Charger Pad (EP-3100), manufactured in 2018, with which I charge without a problem all my Samsung devices (Note 8, Note 10, Buds+, GWA2). The pad even has a fan which is turned on when I place my GW4 on it.

Does it sound that my GW4 is defective or Samsung's charger pad is simply incompatible? Tomorrow I'll try to charge it with the charger which is included in the package, but I'd like your opinion on this.
