[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
OPPO's update policy for flagship is 4 years of security updates, and 3 major Android updates. Since it comes with ColorOS 12.1, you'd be good until about Android 15. 🤓
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eddiedimitris:
Good evening.

8 days ago I gave the s22 ultra and the main reason was the problem it has with the gps. I was bored waiting for an upgrade to solve it. I bought the Oppo find x5 pro in white. If we exclude the s-pen and the brightness of the screen in all other parts the Oppo is equally good or even better. For me the biggest advantages are the battery standby, it is the incredible speed of the battery charge and finally the feeling in the hand. It is more comfortable in the hand. I did not expect it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
I thought it would have a fragile feel to it, or a feeling of luxury since it was ceramic and was thinking it be best to cover up in a sturdy case or otterbox to keep it from breaking. Was the feeling of comfort from the size, grip, or ceramic feel?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eddiedimitris:
I use case all the time so it is just the size that makes the good feel in the hand.Generally it reminds me huawei p30 pro which was really nice all around phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
I had an essential ph1 and it had a ceramic back with a titanium frame. That's my preference because it was built like a tank so I had little worry of going caseless. There's also something about the feel of ceramic were just by touching it you feel security and the premium quality that just doesn't apply to any other material.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
Technically, glass can also provide a premium quality, but I feel more secure with the ceramic as glass might break easily. Did you keep it caseless throughout your use? I'm a bit wary if I am not even using the silicon case.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Slade8525:
Plastic back and sides/bezel. FAR more durable for drops and bumps. My old S3 and S4, and Note4 survived absolute hell at the hands of my friends' kids, as have my folks' S7 Actives.

Just about every glass phone ive seen has eventually had a busted screen or back...

Plastic constuction, removable battery, headphone jack and flat screens were IMO peak Samsung S/Note series, no stupid cases needed either.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
Plastic is definitely a more sturdy option before they chose to explore other materials.

What did you think about the leather backed models?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
I kept it caseless, used it off and on for a year and it still looked practically new when I parted ways with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Slade8525:
never owned one so i cant say, i dont feel like it belongs on a cell phone, for durability and thermals. just seems weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
Always the best case scenario, especially for buyers of pre-loved devices. 👍

I get surprised to see the color of my phone when it is out of the case especially because I always have a non-transparent case on.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
Good point. I like it better as the texture for cases - tablets or phones. As the actual back of the phone, meh. I mean, how do you even clean it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Slade8525:
yep, cases its fine, i usually have a folding leather wallet case for travelling.

i guess it could work as a slim case, but built on, no thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cpufrost:
Leave leather for cases, it's a consumable item long term.

Ceramic backed phones FTW! I love my S10+ 1TB. The white ceramic reminds me of a toilet top! :-D And forget about worrying about breaking it when dropped! It is heavier though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] InternalMonologue:
Phone colors do not really mean as much nowadays since you can always customize phone cases. I am always with an otterbox so I rarely see my phone's color. I mean how can you? I just always look at the screen and not the back. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
Well true. Esp black carbon fibre ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
I would have just thought a coffee mug 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rayone:
I still (after 8 yrs) dont get why semi rigid flexible phones aren't a thing.

People buy a flagship then slap a fugly case around it, why not just make the phoneflexible and impact absorbing?

Screens are flexible, the circuit boards are small enough, the SOC heatsink could be rigid as could the battery case, the rest could all be encased in a soft epoxy (SoC and battery heat spreaders exposed)

The other day I cracked the back of my phone when it fell out of my pocket on to my wood deck, getting a little tired of cracking phones... it's almost seems they're desinged to do this and it never happened prior to my S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enthSe7en:
The ceramic cover of X5 pro has been tested in multiple drop tests here.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] chytrypch:
Hi.

I am nord 2 onwer and i really like this phone. I was wondering is there any chance to save more battery in everyday use. I found out a app called GalaxyHz which is obviously for galaxy series phones. I was thinking ... is it hard to do app or script which can switch option to select refresh? Somehing like counter after 10 seconds on screen switching for 60hz and when you interact with phone back to 90. i was searching for that kind of idea but don't see anything. What do you think? Idea is simple.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] chytrypch:
ok it can be closed. GalaxyMaxHZ works for nord 2 so i have now adaptive refresh ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] barblant:
Hello,

I've been tried to downgrade from android 12 to android 11 (because it is a requirement to install LineageOS, if I believe their website).

I've downloaded stock firmware for my device and region (SWC) on sammobile and samfw (I was pleased to see that both provides exactly the sames files, checked with md5) for various firmware versions (G973FXXSEFUL1, G973FXXSEGVA9, G973FXXUEGVA4) but I'm not able to flash successfully any of them with heimdall (also tried with Odin on a friend's Windows computer but that didn't help).

When I flash the SYSTEM partition, I see a line that says `CUSTOM Binary(SYSTEM) Blocked By OEM Lock` and after rebooting my device is in "brick"-mode but that doesn't prevent Heimdall from flashing anything I want and whatever I flash then (except SYSTEM) brings it back to normal download mode again.

Right now the lines in small monospace font at the top of the screen say:

```

ODIN MODE (AVB Fail)

system: Error validating footer (6)

CUSTOM system

VBMETA G973FXXSEFUL1, 46766431R

```

One thing I've figured out so far is that enabling "OEM unlock" in the developer settings wasn't enough to actually deactivate it, but since I can't boot into anything other that download mode I can't do much about it now I guess...

Any idea what I should do ? What I should flash in what order ?

Many thanks in advance !

Here's a lot of ROM's for HP 6818, 6815, for Atom Life, etc... But lot's of users report problems with most of them. So if something goes wrong where can we find the original ROM for HP 6815?

[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
So i decided to use my old K610i battery in my XPERIA X1 because i noticed that they both use the same voltage 3.6 volts to be exact.

When using the k610i battery the phone seems fine and runs just as smoothly as before - only thing is i cannot charge the battery through the XPERIA X1 because i get an error message saings Alien Battery but that doesnt matter since its could just be use for emergencys or big trips and such - anyways let me know what you think.

Thought i'd give it a go - do ya'll think its safe though? dont want to damage my x1 lol

900mAh not that bad either!

since i got two spare batteries 900x2 = 1800 mAh
[XPERIA X1 General] Sony Ericsson Indonesia:
erm.. if u live in the us or are traveling to the us i'd expect u to be on the news once u get to the airport... dunno if its just me but it kinda looks like c4 to me.. but to answer ur question i'd expect it to be safe enough..
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
lol i see your concern lol - i can assure you it isnt c4 lol - tis just the back of the battery - had to flip it round cause the + and - terminals were different to the x1 battery
[XPERIA X1 General] SomeoneSimple:
Oh wow, that looks ghetto, i hope it wont explode or something :D .
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Lool :P i sure hope it doesnt!

to be fair i've done a pretty ameture job lol - cardboard and tape!
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Any other opinions?
[XPERIA X1 General] cheese098:
looks fine to me.

they use the same li-po/li-ion cells in all their batteries, so as long the voltage is the same in both batteries it doesn't matter.

current is limited chemically by the li-po/li-ion cells themselves and cannot go above a certain level, which clearly cannot be reached, cause otherwise xperia would not be using a li-po battery. :o
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Awesome!

As long as it wont damage my phone?

both say 3.6 volts so thats cool i guess
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Hello xda's, altough I'm not that technically savvy, I managed to learn how to create and manage icons to use in creating Chome Configs panels. Thanks to some xda members like Stylez and Nrg for their help so here it goes, and please correct me if I'm wrong.

Find your icon, I like using the icons from www.iconspedia.com, their icons are hardcore and of course hi-res.

The icon size is 22x22 with the highest dpi you can manage. To resize the icons I use Paint.Net(Stlyez :)) this program is so ridiculously simple its not even funny, just play with it for a minute and you'll have your icon outputted in no time at all.

Icon Name (like the say, "don't know why it is, it just is" lol)

To have some common factor I use the name Chome in my icons that will be used in my panels ie.

chome_gps_sat_active.png

chome_gps_desat_inactive.png

or you can just name it - icon_sat_active.png and icon_desat_inactive.png but again notice the common factor

I don't know why its sat_active.png and desat_inactive.png but all the icons have to end in that format. Once you have your icons launch Chome Config and create your panel ie. Gps, once you see it go inside and create your 1st page, at the top it says:

Panel Icons:

here you'll follow the aforementioned format including the path of the icons like so:

\Windows\chome_gps_sat_active.png;\Windows\chome_gps_desat_inactive.pg

I highlighted the ";" so you don't forget, if you mess up the icon name or path, you'll end up seeing a red icon with an "x" in the middle, alerting you that something is wrong

The active icon is the icon that will show up when you select that panel and the inactive icon is the icon that will show up when you are not in that panel. If you put the both icons the same, then common sense dictates that the panel will use only one icon for inactive and active views, a lot folks like to have inactive and active icons just to show a little contrast but the choice is strictly yours, and that's why I think this is such a great piece of software, its so configurable yet simple to use once you get the basics. Below are a couple of my icons I used for my Gps panel that holds the following apps: Garmin, Google Maps, Live Search. The little color icon is my active and the bw is my inactive and the original, so you're able to compare the scaled down versions

Well I hope this helps someone and again if some of the more technical members can add some more knowledge, please comment

Re: Setting Up Panels

To carry on the subject here is how to set up your CMYApplication the same goes for all panels.

Here is what it look like:

I have set up Opera Mobile

The Red arrow is the name of panel when condensed "not on the panel"

The Blue is the name shown on the top of panel when expanded

The Green is the location of the .exe "program want to open"

The Purple is the location of the picture .png "i place mine on storage card in a folder called PNG"

You may find that page 2 doesn't show as i think there is a bug i have had it on both ROMs hide the page and make a new one to get 20 pages for 20 programs :)

Hope this helps.

Nice work I somehow managed to not comment a long while back. I figured some of this out thru trial and error but some of the tutorial actually helps me tinker even more if I want too. It just sucks that one must redo all of it again with a simple flash...
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thanks.

There must be more we can do through walk through edit.cpr? I got a how to change the panel with PE which i could upload but maybe we need a thread deicated to it all?

Blackjack2 you could change the title to something else like Video & Picture tutorials?

Just a thought...

Opera on panel

Hello,

Ive been trying to add favorites from opera to a panel, is there a tutorial somewhere how to do this ?

I actually have not been able to add Opera mini to a panel but I think this is how I installed Opera mini..I went to mini.opera.com and installed it but to access the application I have to go to start/java/launch opera.. I can find opera in the application list if I use the template for apps in ChromeConfig and it does add it to a panel it just doesnt work lol

So if anyone knows how to get either of those to work would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] unleashedvigilante:
Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for your tutorials but I am still not able to get my icons to show up. The icons on the top bar(_sat_active.png and _desat_inactive.png) show up just fine but it is the individual icons that dont show. This is the case for both my applications as well as my contacts. Any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
What phone do you have? What ROM you using? Please update signature to enable help more easily :)
[HTC Excalibur] unleashedvigilante:
Sorry about that, the phone I am using is a Cingular 2125 aka HTC Faraday aka Tornado. The ROM is WM6.1 for (CE OS 5.2.20279 Build 20279.1.3.4) Rose ROM *UPDATED*. I have installed CHome Configurator to the storage card and that is also where I have my pictures. Because of storing them on the memory card, I am guessing, the small panel icons(the _sat_active and _desat_inactive) do show up as red x's until it refreshes. This isn't a big deal but it is just the individual apps or contacts that still arent showing up. If it would make it easier, I can find a screen shot app to show my panel page.

Problem show icon on custom panel in portrait mode

First excuse me for may little english.

I have create a panel to dial contact with chomeconfigurator, in portrait mode icon for panel is not show, if I turn in landscape mode the icon are show correctly.

Anyone have solved this problem?

Thanks to all.
[HTC Excalibur] Blaggah:
Thanks for this.
[HTC Excalibur] Jarc112:
this thread has been very helpful, but i have a question, is there a way to change the icons in the clock panel?, and also how you can add actions such as turn on bluetooth, wifi?.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Icons in clock panel? Do you mean the icons on the left of panel?

There is a thread with 2 x progs BT on "also a discoverable" and the other is WiFi on, you could make a panel with these or add to Program Panel.
[HTC Excalibur] Corduroy-21:
First of all thanks for the nice tutorial. However I have a problem and it is similar with this post:

I own an HTC s740 (Rose).

First of all only the "active" panel icon works. The inactive is an "X" image. I use two different icons (one coloured and one greyed) but only the one that I type first works. If I change their order again the active one works.

Moreover, when I turn the phone in landscape mode (by dragging the keyboard) the panel icons disappear.

And then we go to Picture. I tried dozen times and the pictures did not appear. But when I turned the phone in Landscape mode the icons appear regularly.

I then got curious. I decreased the Picture size and it still was visible only in Landscape mode. I decreased it again and then I got a big "X" in the Landscape mode.

It seems that different image sizes appear in the two different modes. Any ideas?

And also why can't I see both active and inactive images?
[HTC Excalibur] Corduroy-21:
Sorry for the second post, however I found a solution for the Panel Icons for the HTC Rose (s740) and something like a solution for the Pictures.

When you create a new panel icon you enter your image URL in Panel icons tab. However you need to insert three values there. The first value is for the portrait active icon, the second for the portrait inactive icon and the third for the landscape icon.

So you have created for example a new panel called Programs. You have two different icons and you copy them in the Windows folder. The correct URL is:

\Windows\Programs_active.png;\Windows\Programs_inactive.png;\Windows\Programs_active.png

If you dont want two different icons you can always use one in all three cases. That's the solution for the panel icons.

The problem with the Picture for each page of the panel continues unfortunately. I've tried many things and I found that if you use only one URL for example \My Documents\radio.png then you get your picture only in the landscape mode, while it does not appear in the portrait mode. I tried using two values with a ";" between them and then I got nothing again in portrait and a big "X" in the landscape. (I also tried repeating the values three times, although there is no inactive picture here, of course it didnt work).

Then I tried something else. I customized the "Settings" panel which is the only panel that pre-exists and you can edit it. I inserted a new page for my "FM Radio" and I inserted the same URL as previously. Miraculously, this works !! You get a page with a picture that works both in Portrait and Landscape mods.

I'm still baffled by the fact that the same url doesn't work in a custom panel and works only in new page of an already existing panel. I will keep trying to find a solution but I think I'm all out of ideas. Any advices or people with Roses experimenting would be nice.

:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
What about instead of creating a new panel with ChomeConfig using the Reg from settings panel and duplicating in Reg but under different name?

Then editing as you previous posted.

Maybe ChomeConfig is the problem with creating new panel since not really made for land\port devices?
[HTC Excalibur] Corduroy-21:
I thought of it too, but I'm not that good with the registry. I tried making a new panel by adding new keys etc. but I failed. I'm not sure about the right way although I followed the instruction I found on a website.
[HTC Excalibur] thesacrifice:
This is going to be complicated.

I have a T-Mobile Dash running NRGZ28's WM6.1...

I love the "HTC Home" home screen but recently downloaded Chome Miniweather 1.2 and really like the clock with the weather image in one panel across the top that "Miniweather" home screen gives.

Is there anyway to change the clock in "HTC Home" to be the one in "Miniweather"?

[HTC Excalibur] stars.galore:
Hey You Guys!!(Goonies, get it? No?)

I followed the tutorial that Stylez (btw awesome!:)) put up, my issue is the file path(i know huh, you'd think i'd know how to do THAT atleast) but when i go through my phone i can see the path location and even the exe, but when i enter that path location when creating a new panel, it wont take it. Any ideas guys?? :confused: Ohh and i have another dumb question :p, do i HAVE to make another folder for png's alone so the icons can appear??? I'm learning, please have patience with me!!!:D That sounded more like demand than a request.. lol
[HTC Excalibur] yapko:
custom panel on s740

I have tried duplicating and editing Settings panel in registry, and it worked. However, I couldn't figure out how to get rid of "Profile:ProfileName" text on collapsed panel. Using GUID from CWelcomeCenter was the solution. Only backside is that this custom panel can't be customized using CHome Configurator. But in that case you can change GUID back for a minute and it will work. Instead of "Profile:ProfileName" there is NO text now, but i'm going to find out how to solve it :)
[HTC Excalibur] rilbel:
How do you change the icons in the menu. I looked everywhere but nothing.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
In which menu? Panels? Start Menu?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I always had a folder on Root of my device called PNG and generally put the location manually "i'm just too lazy to navigate and want to feel some acheivement lol" ;)
[HTC Excalibur] rilbel:
Start menu.

Also, I have 3 set of panels on my main screen.

the first is the time one with the date, the second one tells me missed calls, texts, email and mms, and the third is a setting one where there is profile, battery, and I also managed to add Facebook app with CHome. So I know how to add with Chome on the panels, however 2 things. 1) I can't change the icon for the profile, always in the panel, the link is like a set of numbers. You know how you can set the pic for Facebook to anything you want, if I change this one, the panl will go blank. Second thing, the second panel where I have the mms and sms etc, I cant edit that so I can't edit the icons or what I want it to show. Why?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I'd guess that one is that the bronzeres.dll wants editing as this holds the resources for many panels, you can change the no.'s to location of image too.

Start menu you will need a .dll with resources and then edit the .lnk so as it chooses the .dll resource:

eg: 44#"\Windows\ROMExtractor.exe"?ROMExtractor.dll,-1

After the ? is the "name" .dll & then the "resource" can put many in one .dll.
