[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Nick120897:
My MiPad is on:

Android - 7.1.2

LineageOS Version - 14.1-20180724-Unofficial-mocha

LineageOS API - Guava (7)

Security Patch Level - Jul 5 2018

Kernel Version -

3.10.108_SmokeR24.1-V3.1

temproot@Ubuntu-Dev #1

Tue Jul 14 18:41:15 MSK 2018

SELinux status - Permissive

Recently, most of the UI has stopped functioning altogether. I've tried wiping the cache & dalvik, along with restoring a backup on the same build which I made when I flashed it & yet, it's still not working properly.

Instances are as follows:

1. Home & Recent keys have no functionality at all. Pressing them does nothing.

2. Notification drawer only drops down once. Can't access the extended one.

3. In settings, if I click on Users nothing happens.

4. Developer options are visible in the settings but inside there are no options except the message "Developer options are not available for this user".

5. SD Card slot isn't responding at all, not even in recovery so I think that's completely gone.

6. Some of the settings reset as well. Like, the order of soft keys I had set.. with the back button on the right, it's on left now. Display settings as well to name a few.

I'm yet to try a complete wipe but I thought I'd try sharing this here first if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Regards.

did you backup and complete wipe by now?

what if you use a newer build e.g. lineageos 16.0?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] eraser51de:
Hi

i just used and loaded my nord 2 full and tried around a bit

I have deactivated nearly everything in background and used all google results to get better with battery life.

still I have the feeling it / something drains the battery quite quick or quicker than my old samsung or my samsung lite work smartphone

I had 100% yesterday evening, now 87%, havent touch it and only tried around a few seconds today with all settings and cam and stuff

so 23% in 12h nearly without touching it

google syncro is off as well as inactivity display, news and stuff

what else can I do?

how are your battery lifes in the middle?

do you load everyday? every week?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] muppetz:
1. Disable notification you don't need

2. Debloat system : most draining battery is Google Quick Search , Google Assistant , Google Pay , Google Calendar , Google Provider Calendar , Printing , Digital Wellbeing and more others

3. Deactivate WiFi , Bluetooth , Data , GPS or NFC . Activate only is needed

4. Keep screen at 60Hz

5. Use 4G/3G/2G instead 5G/4G...

6. Untick permanently scannig WiFi

7. Use always dark theme

8. Untick high performance mode

9. Deactivate Volte and WiFi calling

10. Deactivate intelligent 5G

11. Eliminate animations

12. See under Battery Use , what apk drain battery

13. Last resort , hard reset your phone

This is Grosso-Modo what I've done . Use "optimizer" adb fastboot tool . My battery last for at least 2 days , moderate use and I always charge it when drop down to 35....40 % .
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] gaauravmandawawala:
I appreciate you deactivating everything But what is the point of buying a smartphone if we deactivate everything. We can use a 4g feature phone instead
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] muppetz:
I

I'm not a multinational corporation leader to have hundred of conversations daily , in my region there isn't yet a real 5G network , location is no needed , bluetooth the same , NFC only when I pay something ...

I'm a moderated user , no Facebook , only WhatsApp , internet browser and GPS sometimes and of course some data traffic when I needed . My network operator gave me 50 GB monthly . The most important goal is protecting and save some battery and my phone for at least 2 years when I might to renew it .
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Hooray​

Special credits and thanks to @aoleary , @tullyp and @DevUt (and well me..) we now see Android 10 coming to the G4! We had A10 running since 1 and a half year already but were not able to fix the camera. Due to the never ending tests by @tullyp and @aoleary plus @DevUt 's C knowledge they finally fixed that camera! That was a very long journey until now but hey here we are! Without @tullyp we might never seen this coming and he also was a great help when it comes to vs986 fixes and tests - so thanks again dude ;)

TL;DR:

praise these guys ;)

LOS 17.1 is very stable imho and well almost everything should work. Due to the camera issue we stopped working on other more minor issues (like NFC etc) but I still wanted to release LOS in the current state. It is not enforcing atm but I know you guys usually do not care ;) anyways all that is on the todo list and might come anytime.

Check out all current known issues here

Jenkins has been setup now with LOS 17.1 and you can always find information and the current build state here

Other then that: have fun and consider joining my channels if you have any questions or need help.

Cheers

Greetings, sfx, everyone else.

Updated with full wipe from PIE. *

Seems a lot faster. Fantastic job.

* Quick question, is encryption working? Had to do full wipe because A10 was not accepting my encryption password from Pie.

Regards. Thank you very much for this breakthrough in our older phone.

Hey.

Will try soon later to encrypt the phone. Just downloaded all my Spotify playlists a few hours ago so i can ear music while working.

My G4 is my "music center" 😚, no SIM is inserted. Auto Brightness it is working.

Don't know about the others unknowns ( Hotspot, calls .. )
[G4 Android Development] theartanis:
can i use 4 core kernel boot on this rom?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
You can with any ROM . Just follow the x cores guide.
[G4 Android Development] sandr15:
Hi sfx, great build!! I first time ever solved g4 battery consumpion problem. Unbelivable!
[G4 Android Development] Real-Baso:
After flashing this ROM, my phone does only boot to TWRP recovery. If I select reboot to system, it reboots to recovery. If I power it down and up, it reboots to recovery. If I reboot to fastboot then reboot, it reboots again to recovery !!!!!! I'm getting mad, sorry.

So I have re-installed the previous LineageOS 16.0 and... it boots up normally to Android !

So what am I doing wrong with this version 17.1? I have the H815 official unlocked btw.

EDIT ---------------------------------

I have tried both version 17.1 of 17 February and 3 February and none of them works on my H815.

So I'm simply moved back to version 16.0 that works.

FAQ #6 step 2 -> share the pstore log if avail

and do FAQ #7

Also ensure u have the latest PREVIEW recovery (pie) installed and share the recovery log too (see my sig)
[G4 Android Development] hkdoublecat:
how good the chance is a H818N variant can work with this rom?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
It will work perfectly fine - if you ever find a way to unlock it.
[G4 Android Development] dadaa1:
bluetooth not working properly and booting time massive. Over a minute with lg logo and after that normal lineage booting. H815 unlocked officially.
[G4 Android Development] rundumdieuhr:
Anyone else having trouble with the reliability of the proximity sensor turning off the display?

Never mind if it's fine for you, then it's due to my dirty install... 😅
[G4 Android Development] RVC46:
I have an H811 and a VS986 and would like to begin working with these and the A10 you're developing. They are known to be unlocked because I used these phones on MVNO's for Verizon and T-Mobile but I do not know how they were unlocked. In turn, I don't know if they are properly prepared for me to begin here. Can you refer me to a method that will allow me to determine how these were unlocked so I can know of I need to use UsU on either of them?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
I guess u mix "bootloader unlocked" with "network unlocked" here. which are complete diff things. While it is possible to bootloader unlock the h811 (without involving any other third party) this is not possible with the vs986 in an official way.

The bootloader unlock of a h811 is simply done via fastboot (boot the device in fastboot mode and exec e.g: "fastboot getvar all" to see its unlock state). The vs986 requires UsU. To check the current state you can simply start SALT (part of mAid) while the device is in download mode.

For flashing UsU check the UsU thread.
[Huawei P30 Questions & Answers] Bogdan26:
Hello,

Can someone help with this notification issue from Gmail on my P30? I've tried almost everything and I can't make it work. The notification number badge isn't working! Also, in the notification badge menu, the Gmail app isn't listed, it is not supported?

Many thanks.
[Huawei Watch GT 3] neo23185:
Hello, I have the following problem with my Watch GT3 46mm and also with my wife's Watch GT3 42mm.

We both have a Samsung cell phone and drive a VW.

Problem:

As soon as the GT3 is connected to the smartphone (which is usually permanent) and I connect to other devices on the smartphone, e.g. headset or the hands-free system in the car, I cannot make any calls properly. As soon as I start a call on my smartphone, the conversation begins on the phone and not on the e.g. Headset. Must then manually select the respective BT device on the dial screen again.

Incoming calls work normally.

As soon as I disconnect from the GT3 or disable the "Call List" permission, everything works as it should, but then I don't get any call information on the watch.

I already had the problem with the GT2, does anyone know the problem and has a solution?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mm1804:
Hi all,

I found a Software called systemcolor.net (see here: http://www.pocketpc-software-downlo...-kai-s-systemcolor-net-download-hbuqwcxq.html).

It is an interesting tool to change the color of the system (top and bottom bar) depending on certain events (new sms...).

I tried the demo but it wasn't working on my touch (could not set the flags to activate it). Another thing - it is commercial...

Does anybody have a similar app for this purpose?

Thanks!

MM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrpiggae:
RC Mod works well for changing the top and bottom bar colors, but it doesn't do it based on events. I've yet to hear of a program that did that...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] auswims:
i use base hue express.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mm1804:
hm...base hue express does not change colours on events! I think this would be a really nice function because there is no need for a icon change or anything else...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
There is a great piece of software posted on these forums called Settings+ or Settings++ something like that. It does what you want with a very small memory footprint. Works great in my opinion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mm1804:
Cool tool, but also not event triggered :(
[Huawei P30 Questions & Answers] Bogdan26:
Hello,

I am just curious, it is still possible to root a P30 these days? Why I am asking, I would love to use other launcher beside the default one cuz I don't like it, but I don't wanna lose the gesture navigation. If there is a solution, not necessarily rooting, please help me! 😊

Many thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedoHamdani:
Hi,

In this thread or post we will discuss the option that we have to deal with Sony Sketch App.

We all know that the app was terminated since it wasn't doing good profit wise, therefore it was shut down, we will not discuss how to export the data, since this option is not longer available anymore, since Sony had given their users six months to do so.

Now, the question is as the following: (If anyone can answer them that would be cool)

How to extract the downloaded STICKERS from the app?

&

How to download the list of the stickers online if they are available?

&

How to download any other stickers or icons online and use them within the app?

&

What is the format of the stickers used within the app?

In my Twitter account @MedoHamdani an image of the full list of the stickers. If anyone can recreate them, please do let me know. If anyone know where to find them in the phone, please do let me know so they can be extracted and shared with the community.

There is another app called Sketch United by one of the previous developer called Carl (This info not confirmed yet), but it is not similar to Sony Sketch app at all and doesn't have the stickers function.

Thanks

Medo Hamdani
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmaniac:
Hi,

Stickers are located in (complete path from root folder)

/data/data/com.sonymobile.sketch/files/content/stickers

However, you need root access to see the files and eventually add/import another stickers.

Also, the stickers won't show-up in the app until they are registered also within 'content-packs.db' SQLite database.

Database location

/data/data/com.sonymobile.sketch/databases

By copying all the stickers files and replacing the content-packs.* database files, I was able to transfer all my stickers to another phone. Also, file permissions must be set properly (chmod 777, recursively), otherwise you'll actually see a scrollable list of stickers, but everything blank, just blank thumbnails, as the app prepares buttons for them based on the database of downloaded content, but then cannot access them due to bad permissions set on the individual files.

Sadly, I don't have complete pack of stickers, but I'll share them anyway: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13VPrjQeLhOiUi7BoOe-znNNT6bP_xq6-?usp=sharing

(compatible with 9.0.T.0.6 and 9.0.A.0.6)

For a non-root users is eventually possible to use built-in Backup & Restore feature found e.g. on LG or Asus phones, which can import/export complete apps INCLUDING data, not just APK file alone. This way I was able to actually extract the Stickers from my non-rooted LG G6 and import them to a rooted Asus ZenFone 2.

Unfortunately, the export files are not in standardized format across manufacturers, and so one rooted device from every smartphone brand with such Backup & Restore functionality would be needed to cover most non-rooted users. Plus, the exported package often contain various personal information, e.g. I found bits and pieces of photo (?) metadata with text geographical locations included, despite I unchecked all but the one single Sketch app for making the backup. And so while it might be a solution for a non-rooted phones, it might hardly be the preferred one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedoHamdani:
Thanks for your detailed answer, if you have done this process and recorded it in a video that would be helpful. Thanks much

By the way, do you know any other app that does the same thing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmaniac:
There are some apps like Titanium Backup for making apps backup/restore, but you need root for all of them. Otherwise you need to rely on your phone manufacturer whether he included some proprietary app for this AND whether the format is not any encrypted and if there are tools available to extract the backup file.

E.g. me, on LG's backup I used this great tool to extract it: https://github.com/Mysak0CZ/LBFtool

Okay, first of all let me ask you few questions:

Do you have complete pack of stickers that have been ever available?

What phone do you have? Is it rooted or not?

In case you have root, extraction of Stickers will be a lot easier.

Just navigate inside some file manager like Root Explorer or Total Commander to

/data/data/com.sonymobile.sketch/files/content/stickers

and make backup (create archive, ZIP), of all of its content.

Additionaly copy also these two or three files (first one is the most important and should be common, last two ones varies by device)

/data/data/com.sonymobile.sketch/databases/content-packs.db

/data/data/com.sonymobile.sketch/databases/content-packs.db-shm

/data/data/com.sonymobile.sketch/databases/content-packs.db-journal

Then you can share them and I'll eventually try to get our two collections together to create bigger collection, closer to be complete, in case you don't have complete pack of Stickers.

In case you DON'T have rooted phone, I would ask you for details about your phone first. I can do a guide of what I have, but procedure might be different on your device.

Here is video how it looks on LG, something very similar I've seen on older Asus phones (at Android 5) also.

I've made backup to microSD card, unticked all options and ticked only Sony Sketch app (within "Downloaded apps" section) to be included in the backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedoHamdani:
Hi,

The answer to these questions:

Do you have a complete pack of stickers that have been ever available?

Well, not all of them but most of them, that was one of the reasons that the phone was not sold or formatted.

What phone do you have? Is it rooted or not?

Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition, and it is not rooted, but willing to undergo the process of rooting.

Is there any app that is similar to Sony Sketch, or can we make another one using Adalo?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmaniac:
@MedoHamdani Personally I am lacking real alternative to Sony Sketch. It was lightweight and intuitive app, simple but powerful. And particualary the Stickers were good here. Lack of serious alternative that wouldn't be full of crappy bloat and ads is the reason why I am willing to spend time on this abandoned app.

I've looked into internals of the Sketch app and while I have zero experience with Android apps modding, it seems to be surprisingly clean and understandable code to me.

Chances are I could be able to just embedd the stickers into the base APK file, the same way how there already is the basic set of Stickers included in the app. I believe that even custom fonts might be possible to add.

Sadly, not always are things as simple as they might seem to be. But i will try it.

Anyway I do appreciate the fact you've kept them in archive and have the will to root your phone.

In case of any difficulties, feel free to reach me out or other members in appropriate forum section dedicated to your device.

Please, try to make a backup of the Sony Sketch app first just in case of any failure (or data loss) during the procedure of rooting your phone, so you'd be able to restore the app back to yours (or another) Samsung phone.

Thank you and good luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedoHamdani:
Thanks for your extensive detailed reply.

Guess we can form a team who are willing to voluntarily make the app possible. We can use Adalo which is a platform where we can create apps without coding.

If possible will schedule an online meeting using Google Meet so we can back up the phone and root it. Let me know if you are in.

Just imagine if we manage to launch the app after a year from now, since it already has its reputation we can get up to 100,000 downloads.

Please do let me know what software is needed for the backup and the roots.

Cheers,

Medo Hamdani
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmaniac:
Dear @MedoHamdani,

I doubt that a sketching app with any practical value can be made using Adalo or any other platform claiming "no coding needed".

I heavily doubt we can just extract stickers we own no rights to and use them in any of our apps that will be publicly distributed somewhere or even sold, as it could be considered as illegal and we would break the rules of XDA forum and laws in your and my country too.

At most we can slightly modify the original application and distribute it with its no-longer available online content. Or create a whole new app with our own stickers and other content.

Perhaps we should move to a private messages if you'd like to discuss it any more in this manner.

You haven't provided exact model of your phone, so I can't point you to any forum thread.

Maybe you should let rooting of your phone on someone more experienced. Or if you have some older or cheaper Samsung phone, definitely try Samsung Smart Switch if it will work for transferring of Sony Sketch's data & stickers.

There is many video guides and it can be done even wirelessly.

Then you can play around with rooting while having a lower harm in case of failure during making a root.

While I can share your enthusiasm, I'd prefer other option to some video meeting currently, I see it as it's kind of early for doing such activity. I hope you understand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedoHamdani:
Alright let's do this, you are right we can't simply make the whole app with no code platform. point noted.

However, we can extract them then modify them then publish them. ( we might require some volunteers to assist us)

We can move to private messages as well for sure.

The exact model should be Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition.

Model Number: SM-N935F/DS

Android version: 9

Previously there was an APK file called King Root that does the job, it was used once on a Lenovo phone, however, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Regarding the video meeting, we can disregard it, that should be fine.

How about creating a backup on the PC instead of getting another phone?!

Thanks much for your help,

We will get these stickers out sooner or later.
