Hey folks,

i got 2 questions for my tytn2.

1. Which is the best internetbrowser at the moment to use? Most stable and fastest? And why?

2. is it possible to hack/tweak the resolution of for example mediaplayer? If i run youtube movies or whatsoever the resolution is just crap, also in fullscreen mode. What is the best tweak to get much better resolution?

Thanks in advance!

(using hypdragon 3 rom=wm6.1)

1. Skyfire It's stable and it's fast because they cache pages on thier server so you don't have to download all that crap.

2. Not that I know of so just use Skyfire. It plays videos right on the webpages so there is no need for a sperate app like the youtube player.

PS I do not work for Skyfire, it's just the best browser that I've used.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asofiker:
As far as mobile web browsers go, I find that Opera mobille 9.5 is the best for speed and options. But if your going to be visiting sites that have embedded video and such, then Skyfire is hands down the best. Skyfire is definitely the browser to use if you want a desktop experience. But I find myself using Opera more often since you can open multiple tabs, use bookmarks, and you can download files/long press on pictures and then save them. I also think Opera loads pages a tad bit faster and I like how when you flick and scroll it will continue to scroll and come to a gradual stop (like when you flick through icontact).

Now about the whole image quality of movies I have read several threads suggesting ways on how to improve movie quality, but when you boil it down, nothing will make a huge difference cuz our screen resolution is only 240x320 at only 65,000 colors. So no matter what software you install, its not gonna give you more pixels. If you want to watch high quality movies on your phone then iPhone would be your best bet at 320x480 with 16 million colors.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] R31N13R:
Ok, thanks for answers.

seems i might install latest skyfire browser..

is there any thread about skyfire and latest versions?

are people using other browsers with excellent performance?

i guess internet explorer is just standard crap then..

about my second question, the movie quality in for example youtube, im pretty disappointed about my device then (compared to iphone, ofcorz kaiser can do a lot more then iphone, but just this aspect then).

i get that u cant get the resolution better, its just a ''phone-handicap', but im surprised there are no tweaks/drivers for it as well..

maybe other ppl still have solutions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] maiahsdad:
I like Skyfire ( I have Beta version 0.85.0.7927), but I HATE the small view EACH page. Once I set it to the size, I prefer it to STAY there! Too much having to manipulate each page so that I can READ the thing!

Next, I notice that Skyfire is able to bring up images that IE and Opera cannot. I log into an online study website for my securities license. With IE and Opera, I cannot view the study material, but with Skyfire I CAN. BUT... It's too small! And I have to resize it for EVERY study question.

Does anyone know what it is in Skyfire that allows me to view things that IE and Opera don't? And... is there ANOTHER browser that can do that? (In Opera, I have the JAVA SCRIPT enabled) but it's not indicative of my not being able to view the study site.

Thanks for the help everyone...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mcumeda:
I use multiple browsers depending on what I need.

I use Opera Mini most of the time because it is blazing fast. In my experience, it smokes skyfire and Opera Mobile in pure speed, and it does a decent job rendering the page. However, it is pretty bare bones - no tabs, no java, etc. But it gets the job done if you just want to read the news or look at a website.

The rest of the time I go back and forth between skyfire and opera mobile. Skyfire is pretty quick, and it is a full on browser. You can even watch videos on hulu - they are pretty rough, but they are viewable. I think Opera has a better user experience, but it is not as fast.
[Nokia X10 / X20] gonzo1963:
Good afternoon,

I have a question:

If I press the "VOL -" and "POWER" button, a menu appears with three options:

1.- Power OFF.

2.- START.

3.- Restart Bootloader

1 and 2 are clear, but ...

What is the use of 3?

What does?

Is it dangerous to use it?

All the best
[Nokia X10 / X20] AltFantasy:
the 3rd option's meaning is... well, in the name: restart your phone into the bootloader mode again. That menu is the bootloader, so selecting 3 will restart your phone back into it again
[Nokia X10 / X20] jukyO:
Wait, if you can start phone in bootloader mode, then we can play with fastboot and its backup methods?
[Nokia X10 / X20] AltFantasy:
Well, maybe? Or actually not, cause the phone's bootloader is locked, and there's no way to unlock it at all (Nokia patched everything in order to prevent people from unlocking its phones' bootloaders)
[Nokia X10 / X20] Duck Lorenz:
Mine is stuck on this menu
[Nokia X10 / X20] AltFantasy:
I'm pretty sure that you're going to be stuck in that menu, forever and ever, until when someone manages to unlock the bootloader. Just... give up any hopes of unlocking those Nokia phones, and use them normally for now.
[Nokia X10 / X20] Duck Lorenz:
Thanks
[Nokia X10 / X20] AltFantasy:
no need to, I'm just someone who is frustrated with how Nokia treats their customers
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Zirart_234:
Hello everyone, living in Europe and bought a X60 pro+ with OriginOS Chinese version. I already sync my old phone with it, removed tons of bloadware using ADB and the phone is almost perfect.

The only thing still not working 100% are push notifications. Some apps works always, like Whatsapp for example, but others, even after I enable notification, configure battery thing to allow the app to use more battery and other things, still not always work.

Anyone have any tip on how to solve the notifications and make it work properly always?

Thanks a lot!
[Vivo X60 Pro+] thomascook:
Remove the bbk.pem app via adb. Check the app privileges and make sure "auto start" and/or "start" is given to specific apps to ensure it can run in background and send push notifications. In battery settings you can allow apps to consume power instead of intelligent handled, but the auto start setting in apps - permissions should do the trick
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] richstant:
Hi, I have a new A52s, I bought it off Amazon, and didn't realise it was a grey import. It works fine with my provider (iDMobile in the UK), apart from WiFi calling. iDMobile say the problem is because it's German firmware (DBT CSC), so I started reading up on how to change this. All of the tricks using the phone dialer codes no longer work, so I downloaded the UK Unbranded firmware (BTU CSC), and flashed with Odin. However my phone remains as DBT. I ran Phone Info, and that says that my current firmware is only DBT CSC, with no others available. I did read somewhere that you could get a CSC change if you repartitioned with Odin while flashing. Does anyone know if that's the case? Or are there other approaches that I need to use to change the CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] long_b:
I'm afraid I don't have an answer but I have the same question.

Am looking to buy an A52S 5G primarily as it's supported by my carrier for Wifi calling but carrier price is extortionate.

Flashing carrier firmware worked before on an old S7 but I'm not sure about doing the same on an A52s 5G.

How did you get on OP ?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] daymos1:
I'm in Australia with a Taiwan BRI csc a52s.

Wifi calling never worked on android 11, but now I've updated to android 12 and wifi calling is working with my australian telstra sim!

Hopefully this means wifi calling is no longer dependant on csc.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You will have to learn how to build it yourself, developers here don't build ROMs for unpopular devices or devices they do not personally own or use. You will also have to learn how to build TWRP for your specific device model number. But first, you need to see if you can unlock your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked and if you can't unlock it, you can't use custom ROMs or TWRP even if you manage to figure out how to build your ROM and TWRP.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] daveg1980:
Hi All,

This is my first post. I purchased the HTC pro yesterday and all seems to be working well apart from the annoying vodafone crap thats covering the htc pro software. I am looking to flash the phone and get the vodafone s/w off. However, the phone does not stay connected to windows mobile 6.1 very long, maybe 1 min max. It keeps disconnecting. Any idea's? Is there a work around for this?

The phone is connected to my laptop using the data cable provided, I'm using vista 32 bit o/s.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rahza:
Excuse me?

Hi Dave,

sorry, but what exactly do you mean with "Windows Mobile"? Did you mean Windows Mobile Device Centre on your Vista machine?

Scott
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Pantaloonie:
Could be one of many things. Firewall problem, dodgy cable - do you have another you can try? Could be a hardware problem with the phones usb socket or the laptops usb socket... But the best advice I can offer is to use Windows XP when flashing roms - it is possible with Vista, but it's generally a simpler process with XP.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] daveg1980:
Hi,

Its Windows Mobile Device Centre, and I have downloaded the latest version. I will try this on my xp laptop. Ideally I want to get rid of all the vodafone crap :) Its annoying how it keeps on cutting out. I thought it might be some setup setting I would need to change?

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] PH-Jorick:
I had the same problem with my HTC Touch Pro disconnecting from Device Centre, and fixed it by setting the 'Shut Down Device when not used for' on external power for more then 1 minute (I selected 30 minutes).

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] #mcl:
Well in your case it don't seem it don't to be very useful. I use motion sense every day for music and I am planning to unlock the bootloader and use an app to create more custom gestures for motion sense. Also, as I enjoy cooking this is very handy as I usually have dirty fingers 🤌

As many of m30s user reporting random freezing while using and auto reboot on itself or sometime not even turns on by pressing and holding volume down and power key.

I too was mad at this hardware problem

I tried all possible ways like flashing old firmware or using aosp ,lineage os,but nothing was successful

Finally I tried one last method which was randomly tried

But that step unknowingly successful.🥳

I have tested it many times without any previous behaviour.

[Samsung Galaxy M30s Questions & Answers] Shivadityaar:
i there. After (an attempt) to unlock the bootloader of my m30s and installing TWRP Recovery (TWRP_A50_Magisk_Prepatched) i find myself in an orange bootstate. I can't get it into recovery, download or fastboot mode. It seems like a full brick. I can't even power off the device. Only Volume up, Volume down and Power button let's the device reboot but then the same boot problems appear. Is there anything i can do to recover my phone?

Text of first screen when booting up:

"The phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's software integrity can't be verified. Andy data on this phone may be vulnerable to attackers. Don't store any important or sensitive information on this phone". Press power key to continue"

"The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security and you won't be able to install software updates"

So, here's the deal. I bought a redmi note 5 pro, factory reset it via recovery, installed orangefox and a custom rom (pixel experience plus with gapps) but it turns out the phone is FRP locked. So, i wiped everything and reinstalled lineageOS without gapps. Now, the phone works fine, there's no FRP lock since there are no gapps in lineageOS but i still would like to remove that FRP lock from the phone in case i want to go back to pixel experience or any other custom rom with gapps.

The question is can configure everything in the system (lineageOS), connect the phone to my computer and send an ADB command to remove FRP

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1

This way, lineageOS will act as some form of a configuration file as it is the case with Samsung phones and remove FRP. Or it's not going to work?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pr4ger:
Hi to all!

I really like old OnePlus5 slider behavior with DND mode on middle position. I tried to recreate this with Tasker using many guides on XDA bu to no avail. I have rooted Nord 2 DN2103 (TWRP + Magisk), OOS V11.3.

What I have tried:

1) Emulating hardware inputs of slider with getevent/sendevent, but slider actually sends the same event no matter what position it is moved into, so no result

2) Tried to change all custom settings found by Tasker after slider move:

alert_slider_mode

mode_ringer

oplus_mode_ringer

zen_mode_ringer_level

Only result - I can change the icon of slider mode (ring/vibrate/silent) near the slider, but no actual change to audio mode and volume is still locked in vibrate and silent.

3) I have treied several variants of three_key_mode setting - but it is not present in my phone in the same way as in older guides

What I have found: in /proc/tristatekey folder there are 4 files:

tri_state - contains state as old three_key_mode

hall_data - contains actual position of slider in some kind of coordinates

hall_data_calib - contains threshold levels which defines at which coordinates slider state will change

hall_debug_info - ?dunno?

What is interesting, that hall_data is constantly fluctuating a bit, looks like the system is constantly monitoring coordinates of the slider which could make it difficult to override.

I am completely unfamiliar with *nix systems, so I was not able to change any of these files, even after giving them all permissions and running adb shell as SU. My guess is that /proc is not an usual files folder rather than virtual one, mirroring some internal system state in usable/readble format, so changing these files probably won't change system state even if I managed to do it. Logcat from Tasker also don't show any explicit files manipulation like storing tri_state value. I can add log if needed.

Questions:

1) Will changing either tri_state or hall_data force system into overriden slider state?

2) If yes - how could I change files in /proc?

3) If no - any other ideas so far? Maybe use Tasker Java code function to force AudioManager into desired state?

I would appreciate any help or ideas to explore further.
