Yea.. Dont bother, you will just have install over all your apps. lol. I did that 1 by 1 just to make sure its not an app causing the issue. I will try to manage but damn its annoying with the constant frame drops. I know its beta but damn...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sky33:
Yeah. Did it present as well in beta 1?

I just got the phone and the beta 2 was out so I didn't try the beta 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] readymarc:
It was alot worst in beta 1. It somewhat improved but im jealous of the videos of those with better experiences

check it out
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sky33:
Yeah. I went through all the trouble solely just because all that new smooth animations portrayed on those videos. Bummer the results are very different with mine 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] readymarc:
Yep.... LOL. not sure what sorcery they are doing but kudos to them. Hope someone could probably explain
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] readymarc:
Simple hack, speed up animations so it wont be that bad. Try it. Enable in developer settings
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sky33:
I changed that to 0.5 and it still hurts my eye, might sound a bit dramatic lol.

Thanks for the tips though. Just can't get over from the butter smooth on 3.1 lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sky33:
I turned all the animations off and it looks better for me lmao
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sultan.of.swing:
Go to settings>accessibility>visibility enhancements and tick "reduce transparency and blur".

This will help with some of the lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] readymarc:
This definitely works ... thanks alot. @Sky33 do it now...LOL!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sky33:
unbelievable! It works!! You are the man. Thanks guys!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] readymarc:
While i can somewhat enjoy my device,

Again .... i am sure this is not turned on in this video because you can see the blur behind. It has to be a setting that is causing this issue

Check it out..but in the end he actually enables reduce blur ....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] darkoj2007:
yeah, quite unsure about all that. I liked the beta but lags breaks experience and had to revert to stable version. Looking forward to a12, looks very promising!

im having a huge problem, my mother purchaes a huawei p9 lite a couple of days ago, and its emui 4.1 and android 6.0

she wants to update it to android 7, and since i know thats possible, i tried to do that. but ive met nothing but failure

ive tried using the hisuite and hardware finder method, and all the others but i get the "this update package does not exist" error when downloading update 418.

my version is kind of weird, its vns-l31c432b130 which isnt a version ive seen elsewhere.

help? D:
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] PorkChopNinja:
I have this exact same issue

I have no idea how to upgrade the emui
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
For dual SIM only!

1. Unlock bootloader , (get unlock code here )

2. Install TWRP 3.0.2.0 (the p9 lite section is full of instructions on how to do it)

3. Download VNS-L31C432B370 fullOTA-MF-PV firmware (2 ZIP files), link:

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/D4kV/xcpuDX7Eu/

and copy downloaded files to the SD Card

4.reboot to TWRP, tap Install, Select storage Micro SDCard

5.Flash update с432b370.zip

6. go back without reboot (!!!), flash the additionnal package update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip

7. In TWRP's main menu select Reboot system.

Note: read the instructions carefully, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda.

After successfully installing EMUI 5, you can upgrade to a higher build number via the dload method and Service ROM

B416

(Instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder).

Good luck!

P.S.:keep in mind that all firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual SIM (odd numbers are for single SIM).

Does anyone know which registry hold the value of system volume (more exactly, the initial system volume after soft reset) of Atom Life? I guess that it is at HKCU\...\controlpanel\volume, and change it to some value. But it does not work however. It goes back to the unwanted preset value. Thank you.

[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] the.real.p3y0t3:
Howdy folks. Ive had a moto one ation for a while now, and overall have been satisfied with the handset. I took the plunge with android 10 when it was made available, and did so with android 11 as well. Welps, for whatever reason, I could not get calls to dial or anything else with the stock android 11. I COULD get it to work KIND OF with lineage as well as the other custom rom posted her (name fails me sorry..) but it was spotty at best. Anyone else have any experience with android 11 and verizon on this phone?

Also, something I find odd but am thankful for, is that the vbmeta.img floating around used to flash twrp on this phone will allow you to downgrade from 11 to 9 or 10. This really saved my a$$ when 11 wasnt working out as I hoped...
[General Questions and Answers] gregory_cooky:
Hi,

I'm still using CD Receiver XC-HM82. There is a dedicated, quite old, application Control App which Pioneer released some time ago. After installing the app, when a CD receiver is discovered the app unfortunately downloads some data needed for managing this particular model.

Recently I reinstalled android system and when I try downloading those data it says "download failed". The reason might be that there are some issues on Pioneer server side or they've simply stopped supporting this device.

I have still one phone where this application is fully installed and working fine. I think that the data (downloaded from Pioneer servers to manage XC-HM82) are being store at: /data/user/0. However, I haven't rooted this phone.

The question. How can I retrieve data from /data/user/0 and what's maybe even more important can I create APK which will include all data needed for managing XC-HM-82 so I could still use this application to manage my CD receiver?

Thanks for any tips
[General Questions and Answers] gregory_cooky:
I'll answer to my own post for users who might use it.

1.Turn on Developers option in your phone

2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging as Root or Root via ADB

3. Check all aps you have installed

adb shell pm list packages -f -3

4. To backup base apk (in my case)

adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-PIpLM2ikeE7WRs7X2TlOFg==/base.apk pioneer.apk

5. To backup data of the application (including packet for controlling particular model)

adb backup -f pioneer.adb -apk jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp

Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android

6. You should received two files: pioneer.apk and pioneer.adb

7. To restore base apk (in my case)

adb install pioneer.apk

8. To restore data of your app (in my case)

adb restore pioneer.adb

Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android

Eventually, you should have a feel backup of you app with data folder.

Gregory, thank you very much for your post!

First of all, I learned that I could stop checking my home network/router/settings etc.. to find the cause of the failing download.

I have the bluray player Pioneer MCS-FS232, with the controlapp working on my tablet.

I want to transfer the app to my phone.

I followed your steps:

Pulled the apk and backed up the data

I re-installed the app with adb install, and I restored the data with the commands above. Device report success after restoring data.

Unfortunately the app persists in asking for a download (also after restarting device). I tried also on another device, same result.

Could it be that the data restore command do need more specifications?

Thanks in advance for your reply...

Ptr

PS: the full command for step 4 would be (in my case)

adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-HjWUmVnui7FpTk0qKpQ3Ow==/base.apk pioneer.apk

you might want to add

adb pull

to your text in step 4
[General Questions and Answers] gregory_cooky:
Thanks PtKt for your post and correction regarding "adb pull" missing.

There's no problem with base apk:

Pioneer ControlApp for Android - APK Download

Download Pioneer ControlApp apk 4.1.0 for Android. ControlApp is an application for corresponding Pioneer Products control.

apkpure.com

The thing is the data files (downloaded from Pioneer servers when it was still possible). What's the version of system: on a tablet and phone?

Recently, I realized that this method works on Android 9-11 but not on Android 7 cause there's a different folder structure. It recognized CD receiver but crashes when trying to connect to it.
[General Questions and Answers] PtKt:
Hello Gregory,

1. first tried it on my phone (where I had the app, but deleted it ( ). Android 11. This is the taarget-device. Not rooted. APK file installed with adb succesfully

2. when this did not work I tried on a tablet (rooted Asus transformer tf701t with timduru android 7). installed APK, date reports succes, but no working app.

3. device where the app works is Huawei tablet with android 10 (not rooted)

4. My computer is an old IMAC with Ununtu 20.4 lts

I tried to open the pioneer adb file, only partly accessible and only 5 lines.

I checked Androi/data/jp.pioneer.avsoft (etc), on my android 7 tablet, there is a map ' files' but without files.

tbc, Ptr
[General Questions and Answers] gregory_cooky:
I'm not so advanced in this matter, but up to Android Version it's about folder /data/data/jp.pioneer... (and so on). You can't access it without root. Maybe you can do that via TWRP on Android 7 on later version it's an issue in easy way. Other solution is to use Magisk to manually copy needed files.

I'm not sure if referring to the system version different files were downloaded from Pioneer's serves. Unfortunately, I don't know.
[General Questions and Answers] PtKt:
Aiai.... after a few days of efforts my conclusion was that you need root access to your source device.

And then I re-read your solution and I saw that I overlooked the last part of point 2 of your solution....

"2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging or Root via ADB." I did allow USB debugging but I missed 'as Root or Root via ADB'

OK, it is a pity, I'm not going to root my Android 10 tablet where the working app lives. Meanwhile I learned a lot and that's always fun....

Thank you very much for your work, if I come across another solution I will report here.

Hi guys. I have problem with this Control App from Pioneer too.

On my Android 11 phone is after starting the app visible only the loading screen or a black screen and nothing happend more.

On the old tablet with Android 5 run this app, but it want to download more files from the server, but that is not possible yet beacuse of severs shutdown? (it works well two months ago).

Can you please give me a advice how to run this app on Android 11 and share the downloaded files for my Android 5 tablet.

Because of this is using of my XC-HM72 very limited.

Thank your for every advice (My devices are not rootet).
[General Questions and Answers] gregory_cooky:
Hiya,

You won't download needed files (graphics or some scripts customized particularly for your XC- HM72) because there are no files on Pioneer's servers, anymore. If you don't have any device with fully working app you have to ask anyone who has it still working to export needed files (usually as "adb" file) for you then you just import it by a command:

and that's all.

Nevertheless, since Android 8 I think that the folder with user data files has a different location, so mentioned method should work for Android 8 - 11 (I haven't tested it on 12). That's all what I can suggest you.

Thank you for the file, but still without success. I tried adb restore pioneer.adb and on my android 5 tablet and still want to download files from innactive servers. The same I have done on my phone with android 12 and there is still the freeze or black screen :-( What now? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] gregory_cooky:
I'm not much surprised about Android 5 cause it mightn't work. Unfortunately, I don't have any other news for you. I'm not even sure if my files were suitable for the model of yours. Further steps you should do by yourself. Maybe you'll find a solution and provide it for someone else who has the same CD Receiver as yours.
[General Questions and Answers] darow:
I've spend a lot of time trying to run the app for my old, but still well performing XC-HM71.

Luckily I've found old Titanium Backup (playstore) backups from 2015 and 2017. I successfully restored the app and settings on my forgotten redmi note 3 pro as root and old android were needed. If anyone is interested and want to try again, both backups are attached. Older app version is 3.5.0, never is 4.1.0. I'll recommend to start with older version, then restore just the newer app without data. It worked for me. Good luck.

But I've remembered the app a bit differently. Seems to be a bit useless, same can be done with remote itself.

Its just a bit faster to add internet radio stations, as browsing on unit itself is a bit pain in the backside.

XC-HM71 is a base version, no Bluetooth, Spotify or other currently standard addons, so really the Pioneer app do not have any real advantages.

Btw, I've had no luck with adb files from @gregory_cooky.

[General Questions and Answers] pkolo:
Hi

I need files for Pioneer XC-HM81.

Can someone please help.
[General Questions and Answers] PtKt:
Good news!

I finally managed to transfer the needed Pioneer ControlApp data from my -non rooted- tablet (Huawei M5, android 10) to my -also non rooted- telephone (Samsung Galaxy A40, Android 11), based on gregory_cooky’s procedure in post 2 of this thread.

I tried it half a year ago (see above, my post 3) and gave up.

But a renewed attempt this week, learned me that I overlooked a crucial element: both devices need to have “USB debugging enabled” to operate the adb commands from my computer successfully.

Obviously, I misinterpreted step 2 in gregory_cooky’s procedure.

After enabling ‘developers option’ on both devices, you need to go to enable USB debuging . Without that, your devices are only partly accessible from your computer and adb commands will give error messages.

In detail: go to settings, scroll down towards about tablet or info telephone, look for software and then ‘buildnumber . Tap 7 times on buildnumber. this activates developers option. Go back to settings, you can now find developers option as the last point under settings. Tap developers option, enable it, look then for USB debugging and enable it. Do this on both devices.

Connect your source device (=device with a working ControlApp) to your computer. Open a terminal screen on your computer and type adb devices.

peter@peter-iMac:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
P15YC3E10080000000007FC1881C0 device

Then proceed as described by gregory_cooky in post 2.

Be sure to have your source files (ControlApp apk and data) in the root of your home directory, otherwise adb cannot find it. Be aware this type of commands is capital sensitive, so if you ask for Pioneer.adb but the name of the file is pioneer.adb the computer comes with No such file or directory.

I use the ControlApp for my Pioneer MCS-FS232, which I can now easily operate from my arm chair. Volume, switch from CD to Aux or FM, etc.

Peter
[General Questions and Answers] andlommy:
It appears ControlApp has finally given up.

Looking if anyone has perhaps a copy of the source files.

ControlApp downloads the files from the following URL: http://www.pioneer.eu/files/support/Wr5Ch9makajA/smartphone_app/common/controlapp/sma/SmaHtml_14.zip

Note that this is a HTTP URL, so can easily be faked for the device, however need the ZIP. Used to have it, now it's gone :(

Its in big letters in the hacking/development forum. First post has all the links to the packages and fixes in the second or third post.

I finally hard reset to get rid of M2D, I like it but every time I would flash it, randomly one tab would reset TF. I used the same files on my SD card, set it up again and it would randomly switch what tab shut TF down.

I was using updates 14 and 16 the last few times I set it up. Let us know what you think of a fresh install of update 18.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SimpTheChimp:
Ok, I'll try update 18. I assume that, once I get that 18 update file, I just unzip it, and install the Manilla2d cab, correct? And what is the 'patch' file about?

Chimp (Tom)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kdj67f:
Unzip it and thereshould be an instructions.txt file. Read it to see the order of installation, as just installing the M2D cab will make nothing work :eek:

There were several patches, from making the weather display custom cities to making the album art show in audio manager. Just unzip and read the instructions.

It has been a while since I read that thread so I may be a little out of the loop. Best to read some of the newer entries dated around 9-30, when the update came out.

Good luck
[Mogul, XV6800 General] mjg7876:
FWIW, I used the version that is in buildos with nueROM, and it rocks! I then used the M2D customizer found in the hackanddev forum to turn off some of the tabs (internet, mms, and a few others i would never use). In high memory mode, even after a full day's use, I still idle with about 18mb ram. Not to bad! Even in low mem mode, still have around 16-17 ram, but it does fade to around 12-13 after some useage.

Gudy
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SimpTheChimp:
Ok, I tried it but I was not impressed. No, not with the content (it looked really cool) but with it working.

First of all there wasn't any instructions anywhere - just .cab files. So I installed what I assumed I needed to install. Ran Ok after resetting; however, none of the grid items worked. By that I mean that I couldn't add (or use) anything on the contacts or programs menu - Although the app was active, licking (touching) would do nothing. Even trying to click the internet icon would do nothing.

Finally I gave up on that one, uninstalled it, then installed the one I found here (the xda version). Now that one worked, and I could set up contacts and programs. However, the internet would never work, and it was mighty flakey to use. There was some other major problem with that version, although now I can't remember what it was. :(

Anyway, I went ahead and uninstalled that one also. So at this time I guess it is just not ready for prime time. Anyone have any other ideas to get it running right (if I am even running the correct one), or a better choice? I have tried the new Wisbar Desktop Advance, but it has a major memory leak in it. PointUI was OK but just not what I was looking for (had problems also).

Chimp (Tom)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kdj67f:
So you went HERE and downloaded a zip file from one of the updates, and it did not come with instructions? That would make all the difference in anything working. I will post the last instruction set I have, it may not be for 18 but it is the most recent I have. And remember, this is an example from an older update!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jibble:
first of all im a total noob to this(1 day's worth of experience)...so take that as it is...

HOWEVER...just messing around today with 18 i ended up getting everything working. I DL'd the zip, and installed EVERYTHING in the logical order that made sense in my head. (main before patches, etc.) It looks to me that all those files are the actual working pieces of Manilla(correct me if im wrong)...

A few things that are bothering me...Anyone have this working on landscape? It cuts off 1/4 of the screen on the right hand side and just says "sprint" in a black box????
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kdj67f:
it is well known that there is no native landscape support. I find it hard to believe the newest version did not come with an instruction set. I may have to attempt 18 tomorrow just to see. I apologize as I am not with my laptop to help out here.

And yes, the .cab's are the backbone for manilla.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SimpTheChimp:
kdj67f,

Yep, that is where I went and I got the Rel 18 download... All it had was a folder in it with the CABs - I didn't see anything in there that had instructions. :(

I'll check out the ones you downloaded though. Thanks!

Chimp (Tom)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kdj67f:
I think there should be an instruction set in a folder called "necessary files".

Like I said, I haven't downloaded 18 yet, so I might be wrong.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] QuiQNeZZ:
14 works best for me but it comes in the diamond black/green colors which i'm not too fond of so I reverted back to the blue. It also doesn't include the N2A weather patch in order to add custom cities so I had to install that. Kind of a PIA but EVERYTHING works perfectly.

I had tried 15 and I think 16 on Nuerom but kept getting validation or permission errors when trying to install the actuall Manilla exe file at the end. So I went back to 14 which seemed to work fine.

Does 18 come with the weather patch included, and what color theme does it have? Is it the blue? Might have to try that one out.
