[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alphazero:
Okay people some update and some technical details about the manila porting.

Let me start simple for the people who have not much technical knowledge. since english is not my native language im sorry for my bad english.

New manila hd ist not anymore a simple touchscreen interface.

The new part is that it has some functions such as STOCK tab and you can add by keyboard new quotes. THATS THE KEYWORD. MANILA HAS A DEPENDENCIE ON THE NEW TOUCH HD KEYBOARD. so you have to include this to your rom too to get it working. bad news is , that its hard porting new manila only with a cabfile to our devices. there is a dependencie of the keyboard u use the display drivers ddi.dll libgles and other things. To get everything correctly working at this stage of development its only possible with custom cooked roms.

I report the next days more about the progress.

regards alphazero

Okay people will not like me for this.

But any Post asking when, how or about a cab.

Wil just simply get a ban.

THIS IS DEVELOPMENT AND HACKING.

Useless post about how cool it is going to be will not help people seriously looking into this. If your not working on this in any way, please to not post here. Changing the Title to [PRJ]. So for any newcomer i hope it is clear that a project means it is something that is being worked on and needs input and help from people that can help.

It's time some people learned how to give Developers and Cooks some breathing space. And if you don't know how, you can take a few days breather yourself.

Oh and there will be no Cabs.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Back onto Topic.

Missed this whole thread, was already breaking my head on which parts from HD where needed that it depended on. Nice to read it was keyboard :D.

Mun_Rus, did you only re-edit the new Tabs and use the original Files from the TF3D 1.2.3.4 series?

(will know myself hopefully in 5 minutes, Keyboard dammit, i wouldn't have thought that)

Okay so it runs using the original TouchFlo Graphics, but no Stock tab. So just knowing what are the new files doesn't cut it.

Also funy bug i'm having, Manilla Lanscape is now running in Portrait.

Does any one have all the Manilla files nicely seperated into packages for each tab?

(why waste time if maybe someone has already wasted time on this)

Do you have a link to download. Love to be able to use and donate :-)

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mun_rus:
U shd run 1.3.x version, coz it has API for stock tab

I edited several tabs.

U shd use original manila.xml file from HD manila for getting stock tab (26948339_manila) and other files that it requires.

Haven't separated these files yet.. but will do

alphazero banned; progress on manilla HD

(Sorry off topic: not a development contribution, but couldn’t resist:o)

You probably noticed alphazero, the creator of this tread (and a couple of good diamond rom's) is banned from the forum.

This is really a loss this forum. Hope there was a real good reason for it, but nobody seems to really knows why.

Are there more developers/cooks working on the port of manila HD to VGA, or is this the end of it? Noonski are you working on it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ertitu:
Do you have a link to download?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Strike one.

As a fair warning to your very first post.

This thread is intended for those that want to help make it work.

Asking for Download links for something that hasn't been grounded yet is useless and does not help reading back information easier.

Do not ask for downloads.

Maybe you didn't read that warning post a few posts up ahead, and what we like most, is that you DO READ before posting.

You have sometime to think about it now.

Sorry Mate.

Not actively, no.

This Subject is not one that i know everything about.

Mun has had more experience working on the old TouchFlo3D and so has Alpha.

I only posted my small experience of what i tried over the last days. I only started actively working on the Diamond a week and a half ago.

Sort of Of Topic: Imagine AlphaZero coming back and having to wade through the 600 posts on THIS thread to find there was little useful information in those 600 posts on this thread.

That would decrease the time he could spend on actually playing with it ;) And hopefully explains why i'm so serious about the whole serious posting thing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mun_rus:
Some news :)

I can say that new HD manila doesn't need new HD keyboard for running at all.

So now Im still working on solution for executing manila in automode. Now it won't start up in auto mode, just will make cyclic reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Nice to hear, the new Keyboard is not directly needed. It's nice but for a Diamond i do not see the direct advantages just because of a few arrow keys.

(COME on HTC we need a CTRL KEY DAMMIT)(Edit the new Keyboard does have a new Function or mayb i did not notice this before, it scrolls the screen to the selected input box)

Maybe this thread is not getting the attention and feedback it needs here at Dev And Hacking as i haven't seen any posts from skinners and Developers that frequent and work on the Diamond Skins. (or maybe i was to scary ;))

So i'm moving the thread back to the Diamond Apps and Skinning Thread.

I will attache the Source OEM file to the first Post so people that know what they are for can have a play with these.

Everyone that does not know what an OEM folder is for please be patient and don't use this thread to ask what to do with it.

You are open to start a new thread to discus the New Touch HD TouchFlo3D and help keep this thread clean and informational for the Skinners and developers.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Kash:
I usually use Google backup and Samsung backup and when switching to a new phone I backup and restore / smartswitch which works ok. A few days ago my phone did a hard reset I think because the incorrect pin was entered accidentally multiple times whilst the phone was in my bag (hard reset setting in this situation compulsory due to my security settings for my work email). Although most important things could be restored, things like my app settings, Email settings, Gboard, Nova etc all had old backups saved and so I have to spend a lot of time setting up each one again.

Is there a better way to have EVERYTHING backed up automatically so I can restore the phone to the exact way I left it if I lose my phone or have to hard reset without needing to spend so much time next time? I remember iPhone iOS was better years ago. Are there any other softwares available that do full back ups scheduled every week or daily?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Not really unless you're rooted. A cloned copy be nice...

2 back to back boot loops and factory resets made me streamline my reloading process and the way I organize critical data and backups.

I use the SD card as a data drive then back it up redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

Only the apps, DCIM and download folder go on internal memory. The DCIM folder is backup to a folder on the data manually that doesn't have the name DCIM in it's folders names.

I use apps like Digi clock, Poweramp and ColorNote (for bookmarks) that allow backup import/export and store those on the data drive. I use ApkExport to make installable copies of all my apps for fast reloads without Playstore. I store notes for the theme and icon pack as well for quick lookout on the Galaxy store. I can do a full reload from the SD card. Takes about 4 hours total to reload.

Never rely on SmartSwitch to store critical files as it can fail miserably. It may cause other problems when switching devices and force another factory reset. I use it to save the homepage settings on the same device. It can also potentially import the initial cause for the reload.

Never encrypt data drives as you are the most likely one to be locked out. I never use screen lock for the same reason, double tap on/off.

If managed right stock Android's can be very stable. Current load on this N10+ will be 2 yo in June. Still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. This is one reason I rarely upgrade the firmware once I have a stable, optimized load. Android 9 and above are reasonably secure unless you do something stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Kash:
Thanks for the advice Blackhawk. It sounds a bit complicated for me! I was hoping for a paid simple option that would do most things I need.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It takes some thought. After doing 2 back to back reloads the mistakes I made in backup organization where painfully clear to me. Reloads can be very frustrating and even damaging if you're not completely prepared. There's a lot that can go wrong that will at the best cost you time... better to send that time in backup preparation. Remember to make a copy of your current contacts.

Passwords need to be preserved one way or another, redundantly and available enough to access. Delete the Google and Samsung accounts before factory reset and do the hard reset from settings rather than the boot menu. Least FRP raises its ugly head... a lock out would be a pain.

The problem with all the easy ways like SmartSwitch is they can potentially cause the loss of some or all of your critical data. It shouldn't be your primary backup! A complete and organized data drive makes everything easier, it allows you to make best use of that resource. Haphazard organization is just beating yourself repeatedly... so preparing for a reload serves more than one purpose.

The Android OS can be extremely stable to the point where you may think it could never fail.

A crash is just one drop, one near lightning strike, rootkit, or bootloop away. It will eventually happen.

One other consideration with data drives is vetting. Keep the download folder on the internal memory not the data drive. Vet files before moving to the data drive. Malware that is downloaded must be detected before it is copy to the data drive and backups! Suspicious files can be scanned with online Virustotal, scanning with the free version of Malwarebytes may occasionally pick off a trojan preloader... that one missed. Any unknown files should be deleted without opening.

Open files, images before moving them to the data drive. Watch for changes in the folder or system and that what you opened is what it's suppose to be. It's best to time stagger backup hdds rather than do all at once, just in case something makes it in. That's one reason you isolate the hdds from each other and the PC.

About 6 months ago, rotation suggestions used to show up on the 2nd screen when in swivel mode. Now rotation suggestions do not show up anywhere in swivel mode no matter what. It used to work just fine, now it doesn't. Does it work for anyone else or was it broken by an update?

Hi,

I am reading horrible stories about the oneui 4.0 update causing for a lot of trouble ?

For that reason i have not updated since 1 dec ( = one ui 4.0 update ).

Is there an easy way of trying the update on my device and rolling back when the update is too problematic ?

thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
I would not. Wait until the bugs are worked out.

I'm still running on Android 9 and 10 on my 2 N10+'s with no issues. Not going change the firmware as they run well... and are fulfilling their mission.

You rolled the dice every time you update especially when the device is running well.

I was able to get my T-Mobile S22 Ultra Unlocked 2 days ago by speaking to T-Mobile support via T-Force on Twitter. It's relatively easy, all you need to tell them is you frequently go overseas and have a trip coming up. I got my phone unlocked within a few minutes.

I purchased my T-Mobile varient S22 Ultra from Samsung .com if anyone was wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Phone was paid in full and not financed I assume..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Boomiez:
Yes that's correct. But I don't think it matters much of as long as you're in good standing on your account. I've been able to unlock phones this way even when I was on my first month of financing from T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nickdroid86:
I hate these posts. No they will not do this is your phone's not paid off. Obviously anyone will knock your phone if it's paid off no matter where you reach out or what excuse you give them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Boomiez:
Have you even tried before you posted on here? I've done it multiple times when I finance phones with T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm not saying you haven't had success. I used to be able to get TForce to unlock my phone early, if it was paid off. But lately they have cracked down and make you wait 45 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Boomiez:
Yeah, I was told at first that I need to at least have the device activated for 40 days in order for them to permanently unlock the phone. I only had 4 days of use on the S22U, T-Force person said they only make exceptions for people who travel overseas.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sactownbwoy:
If you are going overseas, yes, they will unlock it. Being military, I did that all the time but generally they will not unlock your phone if it is not paid off.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Boomiez:
If it doesn't work keep trying. I once had to speak with support 4 times before they would unlock my financed phone, some are more inclined to help you than others, you just need to be persistent.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Boomiez:
Yeah as long as your account is in good standing they usually help you out.

Hi,

I bought a Galaxy s22 Ultra from ebay but it turned out be blacklisted. But by the time i came to know of it as blacklisted, i had shipped it internationally. Now is there a way it can be network unlocked (Tmobile) and used internationalyy atleast.

Any help will be highly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raju_a:
Can anyone help with this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Argyrus:
Not possible unless you can somehow talk the carrier into un-blacklisting it by making some excuse for example you threw away the box and someone got a hold of it and reported the phone missing.

Once it's blacklisted you must contact the company that blacklisted it and request it be removed. They will only do this if you have a legitimate reason for it to be removed. Other than that there will be no way to be able to use that phone with any other phone carrier. The only thing that you could do if you want to use it with TMobile without having them remove the blacklist is to change the IMEI number which can be done if the phone is rooted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coaraivife:
Hello,

Looing for help de-bricking a Hisense A5. Here is the situation.

I successfully rooted from firmware 06.09.06.00. However, stupidly I let Magisk Manager attempt to update via its "recovery partition" method, which resulted in the device going into a boot loop.

Previous flashes have succeeded both with the QFIL method and EDL mode (via adb), as well as with a MicroSD card and TF Mode. However, this time, neither the TF Mode flash is working, nor can I put the device in EDL mode.

Naturally, since it's boot-looping, no adb comms are possible, but I can get the device to boot into Fastboot, where it displays "FASTBOOT" on the screen. Unfortunately, though, none of the fastboot binaries I have found accepts the `reboot-edl` command. I did try manually editing the binary to replace instances of `reboot-bootloader` with `reboot-edl`. With that hacked up binary, issuing `fastboot reboot-edl` no longer errors out, but the device simply reboots and falls back into the boot-loop.

As a last resort, I bought an EDL cable, specifically the one here: Xiaomi Deep Flash Cable 9008 Mode Bootloader Lock Recovery.

Since the device automatically tries to boot when supplying power, I have simply held the button on the EDL cable while plugging into the phone. Variously, long-pressing the button or quickly releasing after plugging in both procude no visibly different effect. The phone simply boot-loops.

Have I overlooked something silly?

Do you have any ideas why I am failing to get the device into EDL mode?

Any help de-bricking my new, fancy phone would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsalmEquipt:
Hi,

While I am not familiar with your device or with the QFIL method, I was able to recover from a similar-sounding predicament. If the QFIL method is normally implemented when the device is powered down, you may be able to power the device down briefly or have a brief moment during the loop to start the flash process, which should return things to normal.
