Please try this version, latest launcher is not compatible with android 12
[Google TV General] saalmaan:
Hi, I can confirm that Google launcher version 1.0.507546227 is working with Android 12 on MiBox4 (MDZ-22-AB). Here is what I did to make it work.

Upgraded MiBox4 form Android 9 to Android 12 using this guide (Read comments if something is not working)

Installed this Google launcher

Uninstall "Android launcher", "Patchwall" from adb shell with following command

pm uninstall --user 0 <package>

Reboot and then Google launcher became default launcher (I did go into app special permission and gave Google TV launcher notification permission)

See screenshot

My location: London, United Kingdom

Google launcher loaded without VPN

Hi Everyone! I'm new here and I just wanted to know if someone could TRULY lead me to getting Cricket WAP/MMS working on my HTC Vogue? I have v1.6 WDM's 2D Diamond Alltel Rom (Which is a great rom by the way!!!), but I have exhausted every last option I could for the last 3 days! Please Help? Thanks in advance!

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] manu_jedi:
Hi,

does anyone else has a problem with playing dolby vision movies? Normal hevc 10bit hdr files are playing fine (although very dark). But dolby vision files ether don't have the correct colors (the typical purple/green color issues)

or, if dolby vision gets recognized, it gets cut off on the top and bottom. The resulting aspect ratio is something like 1:6, so it is really really bad

both screenshots from the same movie

I tried the different dolby profiles using the dolby muxer from thier github (dvhe.05,dvhe.07,dvhe.08...).

Also i tried of course different players (kodi, kodi hdr edition, mx player, mpv, build in) but they all just use the hardware decoding and therefore have the same problem.

Also the ONLY file that i found that worked correctly was a demo from netflix (http://download.opencontent.netflix.com/?prefix=TechblogAssets/Meridian/encodes/)

Container also doesn't matter (thinking that metainfo has been given to the hardware decoder for correct aspect ratio). I tried ts, m2ts, matroska, mp4...
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Clr89:
The same happens to me, unfortunately. Tried Plex too and has the same crop/colors error.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] manu_jedi:
i found a solution for a few movies (e.g. some movie about a guy that has a license to kill).

If you have a movie in DV in an mkv container and the pad does not recognize it (puple/green colours) look first with mediainfo for the codec id. If it says on Codec ID dvhe this will not work, if it says V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC the following will work. (Both videos report the same HDR format "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU")

demux the mkv to a hevc and audio/subtitle files (ffmpeg, tsmuxer,...)

mux it to an mp4 using the dolby muxer from github

mp4muxer --dv-profile 5.09 -i video.hevc -i audio.ac3 -o out.mp4

Add subtitles or whatever you want.

I have no clue why the aspect ratio is wrong on the dvhe files, i blame the HW decoding driver of the Pad.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] joy_2001:
Did you download the extensions?

1. Dolby Vision Extensions

2. HEVC Video Extensions

Available on windows store

Make sure to play DV files using windows video players, since DV is proprietary, most video players don't support it (even if you've got the extensions installed)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] hackslash:
Use aPlayer (available on Play Store). Works fine with DV files.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] manu_jedi:
You are talking about a windows PC, this is the xiaomi pad 5 forum.

On my device aPlayer shows a black screen on DV only files (i didn't test it with files which contain as a fallback normal hdr, like 4K BD)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Rkm94:
Tried just player?

Just (Video) Player – Apps on Google Play

Open source video player with no Bluetooth lag and support for various codecs

play.google.com
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] manu_jedi:
Yes, same result.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Rkm94:
same result as in wrong colour or aspect ratio?

also specify the OS version you are on, because that's weird.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] manu_jedi:
Sorry i gave up on DV. This thread is now a year old and i am on a custom rom. So i don't really want to say that it does not work as i didn't try it for some time with miui (like half a year). But Just Player uses Exoplayer which is used by a lot of players (exceptions are mpv and vlc i think).

Currently on ArrowOS:

mpv (by far the best player in my opinion): wrong colors, the fix is afaik not yet merged in the android release https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7326

although this does also not work on my pad

vo=gpu-next has no effect on DV format files with hwdec=mediacodec-copy · Issue #10287 · mpv-player/mpv

Important Information Reproduction steps I'm using a custom build mpv-android with the latest libplacebo (> 4.192.0) and ffmpeg (>5.0). The build is from the following locations: https://www.reddit...

github.com

vlc: wrong colors

just player (and any exoplayer): black screen on Arrow (but i think it had wrong colors on miui)

Thanks for your reply anyways
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Rkm94:
Well, this is embarrassing. I only looked at the month and replied since it was Nov. Thank you for all the additional info :)

As I'm sitting here going through my junk bin trying to find something that I now forget I was looking for, cause I end up pulling out all of my recent phones that I've had in the past years. Some of them are actually like pretty good phones, while others.. not so much. I just want to see what everyone is using you new or old and what your opinion is on what's the best phone that's out right now

Mine was Samsung Galaxy S7

[General Questions and Answers] pixie_laluna:
I own a Samsung Galaxy A50s, I don't own a Windows (and can't get access to any Windows machine) so I guess Heimdall is my only way to go with my Ubuntu 20.04 (I tried Jodin, but didn't work and always stuck at "running"). Everyone who has been suggesting Heimdall didn't even even reply when I ask how to correctly use it. I've been looking for a decent tutorial for weeks, most tutorial, like this one mentioned vague statements, for instance :

No, please tell me what I need to flash. I'm literally looking for tutorials for this information because I wouldn't know what to flash. Other tutorials I found are from a decade ago (2010, 2011, 2012, 2016), this one is quite recent from this year "How To Download Heimdall Flash Tool For Galaxy Devices" and was specifically directed for Samsung Galaxy too, however some components the OP mentioned don't event exist (anymore) in the latest Galaxy stock rom (both Android 10 and Android 11).

Here's the sample command arguments that are mentioned :

heimdall --repartition --pit <filename> [--factoryfs <filename>]
[--cache <filename>] [--dbdata <filename>] [--primary-boot <filename>]
[--secondary-boot <filename>] [--param <filename>] [--kernel <filename>]
[--modem <filename>] [--normal-boot <filename>] [--system <filename>]
[--user-data <filename>] [--fota <filename>] [--hidden <filename>]
[--movinand <filename>] [--data <filename>] [--ums <filename>]
[--emmc <filename>] [--<partition identifier> <filename>]

These I can't find on my stock rom :

[–factoryfs]
[--dbdata]
[--hidden <filename>]
[--movinand <filename>]
[--data <filename>]
[--ums <filename>]
[--emmc <filename>]
[--partition identifier> <filename>]
[--kernel <filename>]

I wouldn't know which arguments are required or if it's ok if I just skip arguments that don't have corresponding files to my stock rom, but I have tried. I tried to flash with only arguments that match any file that I own from my stock rom, like this :

heimdall --repartition --pit A50S_SEA_OPEN.pit
--cache cache.img --primary-boot boot.img
--param param.bin --modem modem.bin
--system system.img --user-data userdata.img --fota fota.zip

But it just exists the command, I'm not sure what's going on (another reason why I need a clear tutorial) because there's no error information or anything, here the Heimdall output I have pasted on Gist. And also, there are some other components that I don't understand :

[–fota <filename>] : There are 2 fota zip files, in the AP folder (300-ish mb) and in CSC folder (2.5kb), which one I need to flash ?

Some tutorial suggestion would be helpful, or any correction to my command to make it work ? Thank you in advance.

[UPDATE]

Actually, I managed to use Heimdall using its GUI version (Frontend), it flashed everything by correctly putting file to its respective component in Heimdall. Unfortunately, it sent me into bootloop, I couldn't boot into system no matter how many times I tried to flash it with Heimdall.
[General Questions and Answers] Jackspsychosis:
Did you figure it out. Don't worry about the missing files.
[General Questions and Answers] abagm:
do you notice this: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Heimdall/ ? I found it helpful - hope meanwhile you enjoy your device!

What should we do with this file?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Seeing that this user has only posted 12 messages, I'm guessing this was among their first 10. Last I remember, XDA requires 10 messages to be posted by a user in order to get some kind of further permissions, although I don't remember what, although that was back on the old forum software. These days there are also achievements to get "XP" and "levels", and that might've been one.

Long story medium, the user likely posted nearly useless information to get their post-count up to 10. As his only useful comment says in the OP "no thanks". :) I'm not even downloading something that I don't know what I'm expecting, much less looking in the zip or doing anything else, and some of the settings accessible via the dialer code are likely dangerous unless you know exactly what you're doing, so without actual instructions detailing what the code has to do with the title of the thread, I wouldn't bother.

I'm tempted to report the thread. Normally I wouldn't bother as this kind of thread from new users is a dime a dozen but it's pretty blatantly a misleading thread title without more information, and with no description of what the file is supposed to be, and the only words in the OP being "no thanks" just screams "what the bloody hell" to me.

[/rant] :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Krasendo:
I guessed it was fake, however, the man was deluded to the end, I also advise not to trust this. I was surprised that this has been hanging around for so long.

Probably the author cannot write a tutorial in English, so if someone could help, it would be very cool. It might work after all
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tids2k:
I have looked into the file and it's generic code to enable VOLTE ( kind of a fix ) nothing suspicious in the file. Lol some of the xmls in the zip are from Samsung's phone. If you don't know what to or how to enable VOLTE. Don't download the app. Although Pixel 6 and Pro supports VOLTE out of the box. In my instance I have enabled E-Sim and can see option for calls over WIFI which worked just fine. The OP has just copied files from other thread and posted here. Makes no sense. Btw username checks out :p You can cross reference the settings posted in xmls's to your phone.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
I tried to change a setting ... then reboot ... but the change gets undone ... I guess that's sorta normal as the underlying XML files are in read only storage (guessing). So this is probably un-usable to make permanent changes.

I have a Pixel 6 I got direct from Google and use it on TMO. I see the same thing you see when in that dial code. I looked on one of TMO's pages for the product and it says

Turn on / off VoLTE​

Although this device does have VoLTE, it can't be turned on or off in the settings

Here is the link, it's at the bottom of the page, so I would suspect its the same for your provider.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mightyvenom:
If someone manages to unlock VoLTE/VoWifi via this method it will trully be a game changer. There are a lot of people owning this phone outside of the supported countries that are flooding the Pixel Support forums regarding this issue.

My girlfriend is from Germany with a Pixel 5. Google sells it there officially. I am from Austria with a P6P (not sold officially in my country).

We are currently on a trip through Europe and she frequently gets 5G in all kind of countries while I only get 4G. I have a 5G plan and get 5G in my home country.

Also she always gets 4G+ where I only have 4G.

Not sure if this helps. But it seems like you are ****ed world wide if the carrier/plan in your home country doesn't officially support the Pixel.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
They don't. This phone is not intended for importing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
With respect to Vo5G, it looks that's controlled by the vonr_enabled_bool flag in the carrier setting pb file.

For T-Mobile, this was present in DP1 but is absent in most other builds, including DP2.

Still not clear whether Google can update these configs between OTAs.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] swimtw:
So I tried enabling VoLTE in my country by adding some lines in build.prop file and using the methods written here. Well, the result was disappointing in both ways. When I try to call someone, it somehow ends the call before any beep sounds, basically it just hangs up right after I press the call button. I analyzed the logcat when calling, and here is the result.

Any ideas about this?? I am supposing that it has to do something about the SIP timer settings and other settings that were in the *#*#0702#*#*. Well, I can't get any values from my carrier so bummer

+ Disabling VoLTE works great, no auto hanging up.

Country: South Korea

Carrier: SK Telecom

IMS: Definitely supported, all other phones in Korea support VoLTE + Video calling + 5G support.

I'm looking to replace tmobile_us with the version from 13 DP1. Making a magisk module that replaces that file doesn't seem to work or enable the Vo5G/VoNR toggle. Do I need to overwrite additional files?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Are you 100% sure that the replaced file on the Magisk module is actually the one which you changed?

It works for sure for me (./system/product/etc/CarrierSettings/others.pb) as I added an APN which appears correctly in Settings > Network > SIM > Access point names.

I don't have Vo5G/VoNR (I don't even know what VoNR is to be honest) so would not be able to check/test. However, you may also need to look at the xml file in /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files/carrierconfig-com.google.android.carrier-8932002100401134483-1365.xml (actual file name will differ for your network).

It could be that you have to add some additional settings to that file as well. There is an explanation of those settings here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/CarrierConfigManager.

Hope this help ... let us know how far you get ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
/data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/

That directory doesn't exist.

Edit: Nvm
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andreipaval:
Does changing "data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files/carrierconfig-com.google.android.carrier-8932002100401134483-1365.xml" work for you now ?

For me after the March patch, changing that file did not activate VoLTE and VoWifi anymore. Previously they worked.
