[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
This is a good idea. I might add some map functionality to my apps in the future.

I doubt that developing Wear OS apps will ever make me rich. It's more of a hobby. Also I develop apps because I need them myself.

For some reason, Always-On Speed sales have been quite disappointing on Wear OS compared to the Tizen version. I might have to release a demo version after all to attract more users.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
Thank you! Let me know how you like the update and if there is anything I can do to make the app better!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
A free demo version of the Always-On Speed app is now available. It has exactly the same functionality as the full version; however, you can use the demo version for only 3 minutes at a time, as many times as you like!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
v7.1.1

• Feature upgrade: more granular compass / cardinal directions: N, NNW (north-northwest), NW, WNW, W, WSW, SW, etc. (before the update: N, NW, W, SW, etc.)

• Appear on top / Return from background permission is now optional but strongly recommended.

The Appear on top permission allows the app to turn on the screen and return to foreground when you accidentally turn the screen off by covering it with your palm or when another app (e.g., Google Maps) shows a full-screen notification / navigation update. Note: with this setting enabled, Google Maps will not be able to show navigation updates while the Always-On Speed app is running.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
I finally got some time to work on the app. The next version will use barometer and GPS data to calculate the altitude and gradient. If there's enough interest, I am also considering the integration of a heart rate monitor and a magnetometer-based compass.

I'm making the app free for the next seven days (Jun 24, 2023 – Jul 1, 2023) in hopes of generating some interest and reviews. As always, any feedback or feature requests would be hugely appreciated :)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
Just finished working on a major update bringing a lot of new features.

Always-On Speed v8.0.0:

• New metrics: distance, duration, heart rate, elevation, and gradient.

The gradient is calculated by dividing elevation gain by distance gain. It's a measure of inclination/slope and is one the most important metrics in cycling. It's calculated over 30 meters or 10 seconds (whichever takes longer).

• Barometer-based altimeter. There is no automatic calibration, but manual calibration is quite easy and seems to be produce more accurate altitude values than the altimeter in Samsung's Compass app. Make sure to recalibrate when the weather changes (sunny → cloudy, temperature change, etc.).

• New customization options: choose the metrics you want to see.

• Keep rotating the bezel clockwise to enable automatic screen brightness.

• "Return from background" is not supported on Wear OS 4. Disable "Auto detect workouts" in Samsung Health and "Mirroring" in Google Maps to enjoy uninterrupted experience.

• Bug fixes.

I'll post here again when the update is approved by Google and released on Play Store, so make sure to hit that subscribe button!

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
The update is live!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] parshakov:
Version 8.2.0 will include a tab with the history of the current activity, displaying the average and maximum speed and heart rate values for every minute of the ride, run, or walk. It will also fix the issue where baro-altimeter calibration becomes impossible.

The app will become available in three new languages: Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, in addition to the already available Bengali, English, French, German, Hindi, and Russian versions. The description of the app on Google Play will also finally be translated into all these languages, courtesy of ChatGPT.

The update will be released sometime this month. As always, feature requests for future versions are welcome.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
Does anyone else have this issue?

Maps is open and full screen, I'm driving somewhere and I need to ask Google a question. I used to say 'OK Google where's the nearest gas station', I would then see gas stations on my route.

Now when I say OK Google, Maps closes down to a small floating screen, and Google doesn't answer my question.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
I've done some testing and the issue only happens when the phone is landscape. I keep my phone in landscape when in my car and cannot change this.

I never had this issue up until 4-6 weeks ago,
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
When in portrait and I say 'OK Google' I get a bar at the bottom with the Google Voice icon displayed, see screenshot with yellow arrow.

However In landscape that bar doesn't show and saying ok Google refund me to the home screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
I'm sure that bar at the bottom is 'driving mode'. I turned off driving mode, however now my issue appears in portrait and landscape!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
I look to have resolved it! Uninstalling the Google app from Play Store, then clicking 'Update', then restarting phone.

Then go into Google app>settings>voice>Voice Match> Enable hey Google. I now noticed the white bar shown in the attached was showing. I then clicked the blue bar, something like 'enable more features'.

Now the behaviour is that I'm in maps full screen (portrait or landscape) I say OK Google, the same thing happens before where it returns me to home screen and minimises maps to a little floatingng window, however I see the white bar, I say my request 'find Gas station', and make comes up full screen and showed my gas stations on my route!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
Darn it, its reverted back to how it was!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] omega552003:
So I woke up this morning to a OnePlus updater notification saying that there was an update, but when I looked at the update it said i was up to date with the April Security patch. Thinking that OOS12 did some auto update thing I went to go update Magisk via OTA update. Well I then also saw Magisk had an update too and like an idiot i updated direct then in auto pilot mode updated OTA and rebooted. When it rebooted it dropped straight into recovery with this error: fs_mgr_mount_all. I didn't really think it was bad as i thought it was just Magisk messed up the boot.img so I grabbed the latest full zip for OOS12 and pulled the boot.img out and flashed it. Well it got worse, now is stuck on the "The boot loader is unlocked..." screen. When I go to fastboot I can't full flash the OOS12 image some reason the as the critical partitions are locked but when i unlock them they are unlocked. At this point i'm trying to recover the phone to a usable state befor i progress to rooting and such.

Hello

My last OxygenOS update offered by the Oxygen Updater app went wrong, and it's my fault.

I exited the update before it was fully installed.

I tried to restore a very recent Nandroid backup with TWRP but the operation failed.

I then tried to factory reset the device but now the OnePlus 8 Pro does not restart: there are just the 2 white dots that revolve around the red dot.

I cannot connect the device to the PC because it is no longer in “developer” mode.

So I can't use ADB or Fasboot commands.

Do you have a solution so that I can copy the latest official firmware (OxygenOS 11) to the device and reinstall it from the "bootloader" or "recovery" mode?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Descendant is a customised Android ROM that focuses on enhancing UX and UI

over stock Android along useful features.

Downloads

Head to the download page.

Sources

Github

Same as any Treble ROM.

Do the necessary wipes preferably via stock recovery and flash the system image via fastboot or recovery (where possible).

No wipes are needed between updates from Descendant itself, unless specified.

Listing all the additions would be a huge wall of text, that you wouldn't even read.

So, head over the Telegram group or the website and feel free to lurk.

Preloaded applications

Google Apps are included.

Having a bug or not booting for whatever reason?

Look for "How to report bugs" on this post.

Bug reports without logs will be ignored.

When will the next version be uploaded？
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Willykit:
Hello,

I have just unboxed my new Galaxy tab a8 and to my surprise there seems to be no themes support for this device!

Just to make this a bit clearer, the galaxy store app works as expected, I have logged into my account (of course) however when I go to the "my apps" section there are no themes available. On the contrary everything seems to be normal on my A52S phone so there's definitely nothing wrong with my account. Also when I browse the themes section only some fonts appear to be available.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Just bought this tab and noticed the same thing.

There is a system app 'Galaxy Themes Service' installed, which I haven't seen on my older Samsung devices.

Theme Park works, but #Hex does not

Anyone been able to get the Theme Store to work?

[Google Pixel 6] Newrooter22:
Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if there has been any update about custom recoveries for pixel 6. I've been checking the TWRP website and what not but there no info on the subject that I can see.

Just curious to know if anyone else has heard anything about custom recoveries yet
[Google Pixel 6] reas0n:
I asked about on one Telegram, I think that TWRP is out-of-date for newest Android version (main dev is on hiatus)
[Google Pixel 6] lackalil:
TWRP for Android 11 only came out in late 2021. It should come soon for 12. No ETAs obviously but they have a chat here: https://rebrand.ly/teamwin-recovery-zulip-community and make announcements here: https://twrp.me/
[Google Pixel 6] Newrooter22:
Thanks guys, it's good to know that it might still be a while away hopefully not too long. It does have some good features so fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzcase:
TWRP has been dead for the Pixels for over two years.

You need to learn adb and fastboot if want to mod the Pixels.

If you are lazy, you can use this program to do what TWRP can do,

[Google Pixel 6] adamf663b:
Got any recomendations for getting shell access on a phone that doesn't boot normally? That's about the only use I have for twrp, its ability to be fastboot booted without an install.
[Google Pixel 6] bobbarker2:
adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot boot.img (I think that's the syntax but if not then fastboot help will show you)
[Google Pixel 6] adamf663b:
That won't help on a system that has boot issues.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
there was a custom recovery ( lineage recovery i think) that came with a custom rom. i was reading about the rom a few weeks back(forget where), but the developer would not release the recovery separately.

so really there is no reason why TWRP or some other custom recovery could not be developed.

but with the lack of roms on XDA and limited custom roms elsewhere, i feel that the pixel 6 will have very very little support.
[Google Pixel 6] Nemosfate:
Statixos or staticos , something like that.
[Google Pixel 6] Nemosfate:
Only thing I ever really used it for was a nandroid
[Google Pixel 6] alarmdude9:
I have a question that is probably really stupid. Twrp and other custom recoveries allow installing custom roms, staticos and the like are out. How do they do it without a custom recovery?
[Google Pixel 6] TrustAugustus:
You push it as a zip file on fastboot. They're is dotos, deep, statixos, grapheneos, protons, crdroid etc for device
[Google Pixel 6] alarmdude9:
So basically bypassing the recovery altogether.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
twrp lets you flash your device without needing a pc.

not to mention backup , on device formatting. amoung very many other useful tools
[Google Pixel 6] adamf663b:
The feature I miss most is adb and having access to the decrypted file system. Decryption was always a problem for twrp; I used to unset my phone unlock method to get around that.
[Google Pixel 6] BrianRC:
I miss having the ability to do a complegte image of your phone. Comes in handy when you get stuck in a boot loop and have to do a factory reset. Is there any other program that can do a full backup like TWRP?
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
I really do not see the need for a backup of andoid on the Pixel 6.

Backup your data.

There are several ways now days to restore the Pixel 6 with Android 12 and above.

adb and fastboot are your friends.

Kernel manager apps have a flash tool built into them.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
none of the ways you mention are possible with only a pixel6 and nothing else.

i cant tell you how many time when i was away for vacation or on a trip where i have flashed a rom on my S7. even a few times when some new software borked my phone and i could boot to recovery and RECOVER my device.

you can go to the custom kernel posts here and look at how many people have soft bricked their phone in April with a bad kernel. with a TWRP recovery they could have flashed a backup and never left their chair.

how can anyone say that more tools to fix things is in anyway a bad thing.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
Why would you attempt to mod your cell while on vacation?

I was referring to the general user.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
why not? you have never been bored on vacation or done an update on any software?

the general user never even needs fastboot
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
LOL,, I don't let a cell phone or social media to control my life.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
why are you here then? obviously not because you are interested in custom anything, development or custom roms.
[Google Pixel 6] BrianRC:
Thanks for the validation @vandyman. Backing up data is a grossly inferior alternative to creating an image of your device before you do any major surgery. All my data is backed up to the cloud anyway. When I am sideloading one of these monthly OTAs and things go sour and I get stuck in a bootloop and have to do a factory reset, It takes hours to get my phone back to a usuable state and it's never 100 percent. With TWRP, I can restore my phone to 100 percent in minutes.
