[General Questions and Answers] donnelldouglas:
I need some help and advice on how to get 4-5 cameras / android smartphones to take pictures roughly at the same time, it doesn't have to be in perfect sync, one-two second difference isn't a problem. I don't need any kind of image calibration like white balance or color temperature etc. only thing I need is for pictures to be in focus and with minimal to low noise. I want to make a simple photobooth that can take pictures of a small product like a Pen or a Keychain or similar sized item from different angles all roughly at the same time.

It doesn't matter if the cameras / phones are controlled over wifi or need to be connected to some computer via USB, I only need to be able to take pictures at the same time as cost effectively as possible, I found some programs that were designed to do similar things but non is available for free or are legacy programs that are long discontinued....

is there any way to make this happen on a tight budget, with some DIY work?

I would greatly appreciate it if any of you could give me some advice.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
Maybe you will have to develop a simple app which can take pictures at the same time you have set.

Pack all the ADB commands listed in a Linux shell script ( means omitting "adb shell" part ), put this script into /data/local/tmp, make script executable and finally run this script in Terminal Emulator on phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
That worked! Thank you!

Below is my first testcase, which was the simple example of popping up the "Reset Advertising ID" Activity on Android when all you know is the unique name of the Activity.

This alias (which I named "resetadid") that worked first was:

$ alias resetadid='am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity'

This saves that alias into your bashrc file for safekeeping.

$ alias >> ~/.bashrc

To run that alias at the Android Termux command line, I just type:

$ resetadid

(which will pop up the named Activity on your phone)

Then I put that line into a shell script that I named "resetadid.sh"

$ am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity

And I put the following line into another shell script (named "closegms.sh") to close that gms (google mobile services) Activity.

$ adb shell am force-stop com.google.android.gms

Note for the shell scripts to work, I had to run these commands.

This is the "./resetadid.sh" shell script that survives rebooting:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity

To run that script at the Android Termux command line, I just type:

$ ./resetadid.sh

(that will pop up the named Activity on your phone)

Normally we won't need to close that Activity because resetting the advertising ID will close it when we hit the "reset" and "ok" buttons, but for now we need to close the Activity after we pop it up.

To that end is this temporary "closegms.sh" shell script.

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
adb shell am force-stop com.google.android.gms

There are only two things left.

1. How to put that Termux command in a homescreen icon for free?

2. What to add to that shell script to actually press the "Reset" button?

Anyone know how to add a shell script to the Android homescreen?

Anyone know how to add a command to press the "reset" button?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
Typically by long tapping on the home screen, you can create a shortcut to an existing script or add a live folder that contains all of your scripts.

BTW:

Termux is a Terminal Emulator what allows you to run ( Linux conformant ) Android Shell commands / scripts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
Thanks for that advice which works to create, not a shortcut to a script, but a widget to a script (a shortcut would be nicer as it fits in homescreen folders).

It's not as simple as just long tapping because there is a ton of syntax involved, and the files have to be in critical directories, and even the version of Termux matters extremely greatly.

But it does work. Thanks.

So we can now create a homescreen widget that will bring up any given Activity if all we know is the Activity name!

I'll write it up in the next post.

The "right" Termux appears to be that on F-Droid and NOT the one on Google Play as documented elsewhere on the net, this being one link.

For this kind of shell scripts (to run Activities) do you think Andronix will help (Andronis is apparently Linux on top of Android along with Android without the need for rooting).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
So we can now create a homescreen widget that will bring up any given Activity if all we know is the Activity name!

For anyone who reads this, may I ask that you please invest five minutes in testing this out and letting everyone here know how it works for you?

What I wrote below is designed so you can just follow the cookbook and you should end up with a widget on your homescreen which will open up to ANY named Activity (but I only give one example below) if all you know is the unique

name

of that Activity.

Install the F-Droid Termux

(Do not use the Google Play Termux!)

Install the F-Droid Termux:Widget

Start Termux on your Android device

All commands below are run on the Termux command line.

If you had to back out the Google Play Termux in favor of the F-Droid Termux, you'll want to re-create & re-test the alias to a simple Activity such as "Reset Ad ID" as explained earlier in this thread, just to test your syntax.

Re-create:

alias resetadid='am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity'

Re-test:

$ resetadid

Then re-create & re-test the shell script we previously described earlier in this thread.

Re-create:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity

Re-test:

$ ./resetadid.sh

Now we're ready to put that command on your homescreen!

Create two directories which are defined in the Termux-Widget help.

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.shortcuts
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.shortcuts/tasks

Note I'm not sure what the "tasks" directory is for but Termux:Widget docs say to create it.

Move the shell script you created earlier into the $HOME/.shortcuts directory.

$mv ~/resetadid.sh $HOME/.shortcuts/.

Add the Termux Widget to your homescreen.

Depending on your Android version...

To interact with the now-running widget, just press the named entry showing up in that Termux Widget.

resetadid.sh

Depending on your Android version...

If needed, grant Termux permission to display over other apps:

Android11:Settings > Apps > Your apps > Termux > Appear on top = (change off to on)

Now you can press the always running Termux:Widget icon on your homescreen to bring up the desired Activity.

Does this work for you to bring up the named Activity on Android with the only thing you know being the unique Activity name?

If so, here's what's left that I know of:

a. Figure out how to add a step to actually

press

the "Reset" button!

b. Figure out how to use a shortcut instead of an always-running widget (which can't be placed inside a homescreen folder)

c. Figure out how to run this automatically such as when there is a screen unlocking event.

--

Notes: Keep in mind the goal is to be able to interact with ANY known Android Activity using only freeware (so that everyone can do it); resetting the ad id is just one of the simplest examples.

Interested users can try this on the "Show Running Services" Activity (e.g., for implementing a "ps -aux|kill -9" shortcut).

Attached, there's the official Bootloader Unlock Utility APK from Asus's HelpDesk Support Website, in case anyone needs to unlock their bootloader.

RAW firmware images (V18.1030.2106.112):

WW RAW image

You can also download the kernel source of "V18.1050.2109.163" here (found the link here): https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS675KW/ASUS_I007_1-18.1050.2109.163-kernel-src.tar.gz
[Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders] DrWowe:
Apparently, it worked for some people, not for others. You need a lucky serial number in the server unlock database, it seems as though Asus engineering didn't know this model wasn't supposed to be unlockable hence the flip flop. Asus now claims it was a mistake that this tool was ever published and won't support unlocking. It failed to unlock for me so I RMAed the phone back to Asus.

Thanks Qualcomm for producing an overpriced phone with bad specs, and not even letting me access the overpriced hardware I bought with my own money.

The Pixel 6 pro is looking tempting with it's high end specs, dual SIM support, and it's Google so I won't have to worry about the bootloader.
[Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders] rasseru16:
Are there any instructions for manually flashing WW RAW firmware/Kernal via Fastboot or other means?

Extract the raw firmware zip file, boot smartphone into fastboot mode, execute flash_raw.cmd or .sh depending on your PC OS. That should be it.

Hi

I use smartthings on my s21+ regularly. I have a Samsung tv and soundbar on the app. A popup from smartthings showed up asking if I wanted to mute tv etc when a phone call is being received or made. I said yes and there was an option for the tv and soundbar. I clicked on both and by mistake deselected the soundbar. I want to change the option so the tv and soundbar mutes, as they play together via samsung symphony. Where can I find the setting for that? I have checked in the app and no help under settings. I uninstalled the app and re-installed, with the hope that it would forget my option, but it still just gives option to mute for tv when a call comes in or being made....

My 5 month old REDMI NOTE 10 global is stuck on MIUI logo since last 3 days. Force reboot doesn't help. Recovery mode options (reboot, safe mode) don't work. Mi PC suite doesn't detect phone despite installing drivers. In Fastboot mode, only a picture is shown. I don't want to lose my data so i haven't yet tried wipe data option.. Please help

If your phone is under warranty then go to nearest service center. Maybe your phone going for EDL mode to install again rom for your phone

[Redmi Note 10] akoaypinoy:
You have no choice
[Redmi Note 10] akoaypinoy:
In reality its better to be unlock bootloader than lock because whatever happens in ypur phone you can easily flash by mi flash tool. So you dont have to worry when youre phone goes something wrong. It cant detect youre phone when it fastboot because ypur phone not actually unlock the bootloader.
[Redmi Note 10] geologistalfred:
Can i unlock the bootloader now?
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
The path to data preservation could take two approaches. The first is an authorized service that would guarantee to restore the system with data preservation. An untested second path would be to achieve booting the phone in EDL mode and using MiFlash with the "save user data" option to load the corresponding latest Miui.
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
Unlocking the bootloader erases the data.
[Redmi Note 10] akoaypinoy:
The problem is does heS not unlock the bootloader before hes phone bricked.

Hello,

I've been thinking about this idea for a while, but can not make it come to fruition.

Instead of using a PIN, why not use color coded buttons, and call it Simon to Unlock. You could even have like up to like three challenges, which would be loads of fun and totally annoying (even to the end user).

What do you all think?

S21 Ultra SM-G9980 256GB 5G Dual Sim

Active CSC: TGY ; Original CSC: BRI

Network: Vodafone NZ

Issue: Mobile Data and VoLTE won't automatically connect

Started happening probably after last firmware update (unsure). I noticed that after leaving WiFi network, normally Mobile Data kicks in and phone would automatically connect but hasn't been happening for the past couple of weeks. Also, whenever the phone is connected to 4G, VoLTE won't turn on.

To fix both issue, network has to be restarted by turning Airplane mode on/off OR restarting the device.

This is such a pain to do everytime and I hope someone can direct me to the right way.

Troubleshooting done:

Network settings reset

Factory reset

Replaced sim card with a brand new one

Called provider and they did network reset

Provider reprovisioned VoLTE on account

Inserted another sim from different provider. VoLTE and Mobile Data turns on automatically - no issues.

I have also cross-checked the network bands with mobile phone and Network Provider. No issues.

Called Samsung and basically been told that they can't help me.

Photos attached showing 4G connection with VoLTE toggle on but not active.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rehannali:
Call to service provider and see if they can help. I have same model and VoLTE is working fine.

Gentlemens, I ask for your help because it's 30 hours that i'm fighting for this

Last morning I woke up and I looked at my Nord, and I saw it sluggishly slow, a bit like it has been in recent times and I was really tired of it, so I decided to clean the Nord by restoring everything in the most pristine way possible to try to make it more like it's Out-Of-The-Box, so i chose to downgrade with msm and luckily i had the wit to back up the persist.img

Making a summary, after I reset everything I reviewed how many bloatware there were in the Nord Indian version (I have that) and I wondered if you could put the global or eu rom on top of the ac2001

Reading on xda, reddit and oneplus I saw that many have done it and everything is semi all right, at most the 5g, the footprint or similar gave them a bit of problems, then I said to myself FINALLY I can get out of this Indian hell as an european (I have not a damn way to use amazon on the nord, because it does not accept that I am in Italy, so it refuses to connect, I breathed fire to make it work by removing the bloatware version, fighting with the router, adb, and the list goes on) and then I immediately threw myself into it

The global / eu version worked, but they crashdumped as soon as I updated them

I thought "Oh well" and I go back to edl and try to put the Indian back

Everything is fine with oos10, but as soon as I ******* go back to updating to oos11 it crashdumps, and i and go back to msm with edl to flash

I feel idiotic, oh well

fact that says something with sensor_process rc

device_restart_work_hdlr

and various other little things

Anyone have any idea how I could upgrade to oos11, global/eu (maybe god) or india?

Thank you in advance and forgive me for the papyrus: /

PS: relatively relevant detail, at more or less the second hour and a half at 12 o'clock in hell the pc while flashing went to bsod for unreleated issues (how lucky am i) and there it gave the first crashdump, but as soon as I reflashed in edl it it booted and then the continuous is over

I've flashed various combinations various versions and several times with edm today, so I don't really know what I can do anymore
