UK device vs. UK ROM. When you boot do you get the "Read Forever" logo (US ROM) or the multi-language splash screen (UK ROM)? [see images below] When you shut down, is the screen all in English (US ROM) or again a multi-language screen (UK ROM).

When you look up a word from the stock reader, does the Lookup window say the dictionary is the Merriam-Webster (US ROM) or the Oxford English (UK ROM)?

Finally, in the stock settings under "Reader" is there already a (non-functional) Dictionary Management page (UK ROM)?

So that's how you tell. Alas, as I stated in the companion thread with the new dictionaries, I have not been able to generate a working dictionary for the UK ROM. Yet. So this is only for the US version. This app would not run properly on the UK version, and even if it did, the dictionaries would not work.

If, OTOH, you have a UK ROM and a

working

alternative dictionary already, it would be really easy for me to produce a version of this app that would work on the UK ROM.

And yes, this is for the stock reader and its Lookup function.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
@nmyshkin ... wonderful ...

1. Boots Up to a 'Read Forever' screen - US ROM !

2. Shuts down to an all English 'Your NOOK has turned off completely. Press the ' ' button on the back to power up. ...nook ... By Barnes & Noble - US ROM

3. Stock reader has 'Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition' - US ROM

;

4. Reader page in settings however has only one page with 'Page forward and backward' settings. I can't seem to find any other page, tried swiping up and down as well as sideways but nothing showed up - UK ROM ???

5. I don't seem to have the alternate dictionary option in the stock reader look-up of Merriam Webster's Dictionary - UK ROM ???

Can I attempt installing this dictionary app, as 3/5 aspects point to a US ROM ... and ... Only 2/5 aspects point to a UK ROM.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
@nmyshkin ... sorry, couldn't hold the exitement and i tried it even before you replied to my earlier posts.

Currently my device is sitting on 'Please Wait ... " for quite a while now, after i installed the app and choosing the SD card as the location, this 'Please Wait ...' message is is sitting there for more than 15 minutes now ... Does it so long ?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
No. That is not normal and suggests a crash.

Yes, you have a US ROM.

Did you remember to install sqlite?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aiamuzz:
my bad ... it was an issue with sqlite3 file permission being set wrong ... i corrected that and its whirring away ...

Come clarifications :

1. When sideloading dictionaries in /sdcard/Dictionary ... as the first dictionary in this folder is another folder with the name 'English' ... do we have to first create a folder for the type of dictionary and then dump those 2 database files into the respectively created folders ?

2. Can we switch dictionaries from within the stock reader from inside the dictionary that opens when we lookup ?

Another feather in your cap ... I must say you ARE very meticulous and tidy in your work ... Attention to detail is your strong suit i am sure ... the dictionaries are really well organized and the OP is as easy as it gets ...

Cheers.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
The "English" folder is where the stock dictionary lives now. So, yes, you create a folder with the name you want to display in the app, and then copy in the two db files.

Alas, no. This is a feature in the UK ROM, and I considered a potential overlay to mimic it, but I couldn't find a suitable trigger to manage the overlay.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
OK, there is some funny business beyond what is happening with your device. I have an email notification of a post that is non-existent:

Within the /sdcard/Dictionary folder the app places an "English" folder during setup. Then the stock dictionary files are moved there (basewords.db and inflectedwords.db). To add a dictionary, you need to create your own folder within /sdcard/Dictionary like "English-German" or whatever. Then place the basewords.db and inflectedwords.db for that dictionary in the folder (yes, you have to unzip the dictionary files you download). If you do that and the app does not open, then I believe what you have is commonly described as "a hot mess".

So....before I go off on a long diagnostic discourse, did you get it to work now? If not, the quickest "fix" is to restore the backup you made (?) before you installed the app and start again, paying attention to sqlite permissions this time. If you don't have an immediate backup and it's still not working, I will help you diagnose the issue and try to fix it.

Edit: and BTW, you can turn off that annoying SuperUser toast if you want. It's one thing for it to ask for initial permission, but it's really annoying to be told every time root access is used by an app that has already been granted permission.

Well, the option is there in the UK ROM version and it takes you to the dictionary management settings page, but there's no way to know what it does after that since there are no other dictionaries to try. It may take you back to the Reader/Lookup screen or it may not.

Remember that @Renate is not really working with the NST any more, and even if she were, my Tasker "apps" do things in ways that mostly skirt around issues with the OS or "collaborate" with it, not change it. In any case, attempts to make changes in the Reader or related apps will run up against the system signature issue, and that's a no-go. The appearance of the Lookup window is not something I have been able to detect short of constantly scanning for the currently focused window, so that's no good. My very old version of Tasker can send intents but it can't listen for them, so that's no good. I think what we have is "good enough". Best to find a dictionary you like rather then constantly jumping from one to another while still in the same book.

And BTW, the Lockpin settings (and clearing them), are easily available from my Nook Settings app. Just a shameless plug .

hahahaha ... B&N ... needs to hire you for bringing about changes to NST/G that they had already given up(forgotten in fact) ...

@nmyshkin ... the fact that all your efforts on apps and functionalities you've worked seem 100% stock as far as UI/UX is concerned ...

If you had just mentioned you were an official B&N executive, and given your changes / improvement you've brought about to this device, no one will ever doubt you, the'll easily believe B&N is doing all this ... even if there was B&N support for our device they wouldn't have been willing to go to the extent you've gone with your customizations and true value additions.

Simply Fantastic !!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] mustking:
Hello Everyone,

This started with me a few days back when during calls i can hear the signal sound of my PDA2K. The noise is like we hear in external speaker when there is a mobile near it.

I went to my nearest mobile repairer and he tell me that the problem is in the speaker of my PDA2K. I purchased the speaker and replaced it but still i can hear the sound of signal in my speaker of my PDA2K. Then i try to plug in my headset and found no noise in it at all.

Then, i believe that there is some problem coming from the headset jack that's why it is giving me noise during call from my PDA Speaker.

I opened the area where there is headset jack and try to remove it from the board but unfortunatly i am only able to remove the last two legs of the headset jack (Please check attachements).

Now, the problem is too strange. I can hear ringtones of the coming call but no sound during playing video or during answering or recieving calls.

Anyone, please suggest something...

Thank you in advance for your help....
[Samsung Galaxy A12] Mickmac7:
I recently purchased an A-12 and want to take photos of the moon but they are very grainy, blurred.

Can anyone advise me me on the correct settings to use ?

Thanks in advance.......
[Samsung Galaxy A12] Mickmac7:
So I watched a YT video on the subject, the guy said when you increase the ISO setting you should increase the shutter speed as well.

When I go into Pro mode I can only see 3 buttons - ISO, WB and another that has a slider from -2 ~ +2, I think it's something to do with brightness.

How do I adjust the shutter speed ?

Thanks in advance.....
[Samsung Galaxy A12] uluruman:
In general, as long as you are able to set ISO you don't need to worry about shutter speed, it is adjusted automatically according to the scene brightness. Just set ISO to a smaller value and you'll have low noise and low shutter speeds, which, or course, cause the moving things to blur much more, so either a tripod or 4-axis optical stabilization is compulsory for sharp low-shutter-speed/long-exposure pictures. A12 does not have any optical stabilization at all, so you have to use a tripod. Also I recommend to set the exposure adjustment (it's the +/- slider) to a lower value to bring up details on the moon, otherwise it can look totally white.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] Mickmac7:
Thanks very much uluruman, I will try that......
[Samsung Galaxy A12] tutibreaker:
why you buy a lowcost device for that?
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
tried to pick a general title as this problem is splattered all over google, many different phones, not just with moto one.

History: just picked this one up used off ebay. Was on year old stock ROM and wouldn't update even after factory reset. Used Moto's "Rescue and smart Assistant" thing to flash it to RRVS31.Q2-36-14-16-11 (Mar 1 22).

Then found prob with vol level for Notification sounds, even when vol slider set to max, vol is very low. With BT, or W/O. Did not find solution from vzw or google so experimented.

Solution from my notes:
[Google Pixel 6] revhellyoN:
After updating to april security update everytime that I turn on or restart my pixel 6 I got this message "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly" before the unlocked bootloader message, is it normal? Can I fix it?
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
It would be interesting to know "how" you updated. Just take the "regular" OTA update through system settings? Install to Inactive Slot method? Sideload? Flash-all? And if you were rooted and if so what version of Magisk you were on.

But to get rid of the message there are a few things that you can try that have worked for people and may work for you (dependent on if your bootloader is unlocked of course):

1. Flash the March boot image (it may not boot, that's ok), and then flash the April boot image (seems mostly to work when you get the message as a result of flashing a custom kernel).

2. Flash the April factory image again via flash-all while removing the -w in the flash-all.bat script to keep data.

3. Use Android Flash Tool and install the April update again (uncheck all the boxes)

4. Clean flash the April factory image via flash-all or Android Flash Tool (will lose data)

5. Do nothing and wait until next month's update (some have reported that when doing this the corrupt message went away).

The corrupt message does not appear to affect anything in the negative, so if your phone is working fine you can likely just ignore it and see if it goes away after next month's update.
[Google Pixel 6] revhellyoN:
1- Uninstalled magisk (v24.3) > Restore Images

2- Updated from system (April OTA update)

3- Installed Magisk to Inactive slot and rebooted

So far so good

4- After 2 days, april security update popped up

5- Repeated 1~3 steps and got corrupt error after reboot, I tought I was stuck on bootloop, I tried to use Pixel Flash and Android Flash Tool, but because of the error I couldn't flash anything "automatically", because when the tool reboot to recovery mode it gets stucked at corrupt message and can't access recovery. I wiped all and factory reset, but nothing.

6- I flashed everything through adb and managed to boot, but the message is still tthere.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
There was a problem updating to the April security update using the install to inactive slot method and Magisk 24.3 (as well as Canary 24305 and earlier) for the Pixel 6 series. It was fixed with Canary 24306.

Some reported that they were able to get rid of the message by dirty flashing the factory image via flash-all.
[Google Pixel 6] tensux:
I just ran into this same issue. Right after I thought I finally was able to update correctly using the inactive slot method. flash-all with wipe did not correct the issue.

*UPDATE* dirty flash using flash tool did correct the issue AFTER installing Canary 24306. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
For future Pixel 6 updates, is Magisk Canary 24306 recommended instead of stable 24300?

With the past couple OTA updates I've been using 24300 and when flashing a patched boot image it's been rotating between _a and _b slots and the same for older Canary builds. So far no corruption or boot problems. My only concern is that the last couple OTA updates failed over the internet and I ended up sideloading. I don't know if OTAs failing signals a potential problem or not.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Well, I guess that depends on how you are updating. As you probably know, the April build brought some grief to those who update via "Install to Inactive Slot". Thus, if using this method, Canary 24306 would likely be the best way to go, although who knows what Google has in store for us in May.

Your OTAs could be failing for a number of reasons. You pretty much want to be stock without having /system, /vendor, etc. modified, as well as not being on a custom kernel.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
So far my updates are 2 for 4: first couple were over the air, last couple had to be sideloaded (got the phone in January). I've been on stock the whole way including the kernel, and haven't messed with the root file system, not on purpose anyway. I won't worry about the OTAs until things get messier, but I might go with Magisk Canary in May out of curiosity.
[Google Pixel 6] revhellyoN:
Is there any guide about how to change to magisk stable for magisk canary? All I find at Google is old, like changing update channel
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Uninstall the Canary app and install the Stable app and then direct install (or patch and flash your boot image again with the Stable app).
[Google Pixel 6] bush911:
Just finished upgrading to May build and patched with Magisk 24300, disabled flags, everthing is good for now.
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] GriefNorth:
try build with attach script, just edit ci_build.cfg
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] jester1234:
Thank you! I ll'try
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] jester1234:
The script gave me the same error, but then i've solved restarting from the kernel src and fixing only the error related to the qcom module.
[Realme X7 Max 5G] Ricodey:
like the title says I uninstalled the mentioned apps using adb and all of a sudden my camera stopped working so I decided for a simple restart and the device stuck in the loop ever since.

it restarts several times and open realme UI recovery and when I choose language it says " KINDLY REMINDER : system error, after select language, please select Online update(keep data) to recovery system, thanks! " .

So I did what the message said and I connect the wifi but instead of updating it says no updates found.

I also tried to wipe data but I got asked whether to retain contacts/media or format data.

I obviously tried the first one because I need the data but as expected it didn't work.

I am skeptical to clean format because I feel that I can still fix it with retaining the data.

I tried all the key combinations but only the realme UI recovery comes up . Please help me!

thank you
[Realme X7 Max 5G] MatinatorX:
I don't think you'll be able to fix this without a full reflashing of the ROM using SP Tools and a format of the data partition from Recovery. You probably don't have access to full ADB now, if at all, and Fastboot won't help you recover anything. However, you should be able to rescue important files before you do this, as long as you have unlocked your bootloader.

Follow the steps here to install TWRP custom recovery. Once done, you can boot into it from fastboot by running `fastboot reboot recovery`. Once you're in TWRP, you can mount partitions so you can access them over USB from your PC.

Once you've got your important files transferred to your PC, take a full backup to be safe, then flash the stock ROM. This thread can help you do both of those things. Note that flashing the stock ROM using SP Tools will also restore the stock recovery. Once the process is done, boot right into fastboot and use it to reboot back into the stock recovery before letting it actually boot the ROM. Format your data partition (yes the whole thing). Now you can restart, and it should go through first time setup just fine.
[Realme X7 Max 5G] anand127:
I was going to uninstall these apps, but was too lazy. Guess lazyness is not too bad after all.
[Realme X7 Max 5G] e_v_i_l_x_:
@Ricodey have you got the solution for this thing beacause i am also experiencing same issue
[Realme X7 Max 5G] Ricodey:
Unfortunately I had to go for the latter option of complete reset with the loss of data to get my device boot up . It seems the option to recover the device with data seems too complicated and not to mention the fact that this process is not without it's own risks. If you want an easy out from this issue I suggest that you complete format the device and have your important data backed up from now.

And Obviously I had data not backed up which I wanted on my device during this issue but it wasn't too important and I could let go of it cuz rest of my data was backed up.. but being the nerd I am, I tried to recover that data too.. but as I said it wasn't worth the time and risk for me so I chose the latter option.

Hope this helps! Do reply if you need further assistance 🙂!
[Realme X7 Max 5G] e_v_i_l_x_:
for me the issue was like i just downgraded my device to the a.15 firmware after setting up i uninstalled the bloatware apps and some google apps which were not needed obviously and restarted my device and it got a bootloop, the issue of bootloop wasn't new to me i previoulsy had the same issue when i have downgraded to a.19 firmware. there is a simple fix, if you want to get rid of the bloatware apps now also you can use the disable command like.

(pm uninstall-user --user 0 ----package name---) this will not give any bootloop and can enjoy a part of RAM....

THIS WILL HELP

anybody know how to back up sms messages from the G1? Or what directory messages are saved under? I have about 600 SMS in one thread with a person and would like to back up for business reasons, but since copy and paste doesn't work, i'm out of options and its really slowing down my phone..any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
Txtract backup your SMS messages off your G1

This might be a bit late, but now you have Txtract , it's released on Dec. 6th 2008.

You can now backup your SMS, Text Messages off your G1 phone into XML, CVS (HTML is coming up next) files on the SD card.

The application is available under the Tools category in the Market application. Screenshots and some instructions here http://wiki.brilaps.com/wikka.php?wakka=Txtract
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
My Backup also supposedly does this. I have not tested backup/restore features yet....just backup ;)
[G1 Android Development] bhang:
viral advertising

funny that app just came up on the market

now somebody asks for it here, coincidence...yes im sure it is.

bhang
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
Indeed it does, and it's a good app. However the output is so much not readable and latter processable by a not-much-computer-savy user.

Txtract 1.2 is coming up in a few days, let's wait & see what's in the bag :)
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
umm, it was neither built upon request, nor this thread is a promotion stunt. i actually saw this thread after the release of Txtract, and wanted to share the news over here. :)
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
Txtract 1.2 is released. Release notes here. http://wiki.brilaps.com/wikka.php?wakka=TxtractReleaseNotes

The application is already published on the Android Market.

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] EliteNewbz:
Txtract doesn't work for me. It cannot recognize the sd card even though I don't have it connected to my comp...:/
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
Hi,

When your computer is connected, can you read/write to the card? Or, say, can you save anything else on the card via some other application running on your phone ?

Do you have the Txtract 1.2 ? It's build with Android 1.0 SDK, Release 2 (http://code.google.com/android/RELEASENOTES.html). Do you happen to have one of those drives mentioned in the release notes?
[G1 Android Development] fgizzard:
I'm getting the same SD card access error.

I'm able to read/write files when connected to a computer, and apps are able to read/write files to the SD card (specifically Android File Manager was able to copy a file).

I'm running RC30.

edit: And Txtract 1.2
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
There is got to be a conflict somewhere, it's odd. Which File Manager are you using? I'll try to replicate your environment over here.

A few troubleshooting steps:

Do you see a download/txtract/ directory in your SD card? If not can you please create them in that order and retry?

Can you write to that directory?

If you're a developer yourself, you can send also send me a DDMS trace.

The code that deals with file i/o is pretty straightforward, nothing fancy in there.
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
This seems like resolved. Another user complaining about the same issue just created the

/download/txtract directory tree on his SD card, and verified that it works.

I'll look into this in the next release, to make sure it exists. Apologies for the inconvenience.
[G1 Android Development] fgizzard:
Hey,

I just wanted to confirm that manually creating the txtract directory got it working for me as well.

Thanks.

Now...if only the next version had scheduled incremental backups and a viewer for the backup file :P
[G1 Android Development] ozgurcemsen:
Thanks for verification, much appreciated and apologies for the inconvenience.

There is an immediate bug fix release (patch per se) on Android Market, v.1.3 only and only fixes this bug - automatically creates the "darn" directory. *how did i miss that! :D

As for the incremental backups go, we have a few ideas flying around ;)
