That's one way to put it.

On another topic, I saw several comments on YouTube insisting that they used minimal CGI in the movie because Tom Cruise apparently doesn't like doing CGI. So, explain these:

- The SR-72 Darkstar is still in development; if there are any flying prototypes, they are undoubtedly UAVs, much less capable of Mach 10.

- The US military has very specific rules on "safety bubbles" in training - a buffer zone around your aircraft that MUST be clear of other aircraft, the only exceptions being formation flight. Even professional stunt pilots like the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds maintain "bubbles" of at least several hundred feet and use perspective angles to create the illusion of much closer proximity for maneuvers such as the head on break. Why would the military break hard and fast rules written in blood for a film?

- There are only 5 total flying Su-57/PAK-FA fighters, all in the Russian Air Force. How exactly did the Navy gain cooperation from a historically belligerent foreign military to use their 5th generation fighters for a film?

- The only flying F-14 Tomcats are all owned by Iran, again historically belligerent towards the United States, so same problem as above. While a real F-14 was used in the movie, it's a non-flying airframe with no engines or avionics that was shipped in pieces to the film set.

- The missiles...think those were real?

- The one thing that MIGHT be real would be the Mi-24 helicopter, just because there are so many all around the world.

If you watch Hamburger Hill or We Were Soldiers you don't have turn off your your intellect while watching, but it may get bruised. Hamburger Hill is one of the most realistic war movies ever made. My Nam buddy Al said "It was like that!". It seems plotless and random, horrible $hit happens just like war. Hard to say who "won".

I've watched Hamburger Hill over a dozen times.

Das Boot (director's cut) is another excellent war movie. Uboat ace Captain Eric Topp was a consultant for that film.

Yeah. And the whole point of Top Gun is a feel good all American movie. If we want to talk about ridiculously unrealistic, how about Mission: Impossible...

Yeah I blew MI off after a few minutes🤮

The Bruce Lee movies still impress, he was pulling punches and nunchuk hits so fast it was a blur even at 40fps? Wow. Like Jimi on the guitar, where they mere mortals?

Two oldies but goodies are the original Freaks (all the freaks are real) and Spider Baby with a young Sid Haig, a stellar performance from Lon Chaney jr plus more top shelf character actors.
[Off-topic] V0latyle:
Typical movie framerate is 24fps. I've honestly never watched the Bruce Lee movies so I don't know.
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
Maybe 36fps, they deliberately used a higher frame rate to shoot the action scenes. Don't ask me how they integrated that?
[Off-topic] V0latyle:
Now there's a technical brain teaser. Before digital film, both cameras and film projectors were mechanical, so the movie had to be played at the same rate at which it was filmed. Variable speeds would be a problem since the soundtrack was synchronized to the film as well. It's not so difficult with digital technology, but most video encoders use a static frame rate - the BIT rate can be variable, wherein the "depth" of the information recorded can vary, but the frame rate generally doesn't.

Now if they shot the entire movie in 36fps, that would make sense.
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
36fps it appears to be. Lee was incredibly fast and formidable.
[Off-topic] V0latyle:
Oh okay, so they shot at 34fps, which resulted in a bit of a "slow motion" effect when played at the standard 24fps.

[Off-topic] blackhawk:
That's as funny as the technical errors in TG Danger Zone. There's a altitude triggered bomb set at 1300 ft, so the captain's game plan is to level out at 1300👍 The pilot has the airliner in a high attack angle climb and then throttling down still climbing rather than push the yoke forward to stop the climb. Also it's as if he also pointed the plane directly at the highest building in his path. Rather than bank away he climbs over it going to 1550 feet in the process.

My bet is everything will be ok.

So probably I lied.

It's halarious disinformation. Even has stolen US military AI's flying MIG's off the NY coast🤣 All engagement are in visual range. A real plot twist at the end too. Wow it has the whole kitchen sink. I would say this movie is a parody but that's probably completely unintentional.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Hey,

I tried to search here but didn't find anything.

Does the regular Substratum theme engine work on Android 12.1 on the Pixel 6 Pro? It seems like development for Substratum stopped a while ago but I hope we can still use it!

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I know substratum lite works. I used to use livdark theme
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I might move to the lite version then.

But I guess not many people care about Substratum anymore eh? 😅
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jericho246:
Have you tried "Project Themer"?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I use repainter. But if swift installer got updated for a12 , I'd use that for sure.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] snovharry:
Project themer is a game changer.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Thanks for the replies! (sorry, kinda forgot about this thread)

Should I get Repainter or Project Themer on Android 13? It seems like they're doing the same thing?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I use a combination of Substratum and Repainter and it works out well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Alright, thanks.

How much is Repainter though? Because on the Play Store, it says "In-app purchases - €3.94 - €9.85 per item". 9.85 seems quite expensive.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I think it's $3.99 a year or $9.99 for lifetime in USD. Other countries prices vary. It has a 3 day trial so you can test it out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Oops, forgot to reply here!

Repainter is too expensive for me. I might go with Project Themer. Is it compatible with 13 though?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
I found Substratum lite would no longer apply themes, so I used standard Substratum, with Swift Black. Also using Repainter and Project Themer, all for different things 👌🏻
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Yeah Project Themer works on A13. Maybe not everything, but some/most things at least!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I also use regular Substratum with Swift Black for apps. It seems to work fine.

But I'd like to theme the system UI / framework black and not dark grey as it is from Google. Can I do that with Project Themer? I don't think I can with Swift Black because it hasn't been updated for 13.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Yes project themer does this nicely
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ricardo_G:
does exist some good program for to modify UI colors without root? Thanks a lot

I took out my microsd card from my old 8525 and put it in my fuze and it will not read it. I put it back in my 8525 and it reads it fine. I also use an adapter for my pc and windows reads it fine. Just got the phone today about 20 minutes ago. Could the microsd slot be bad? and YES I am putting it in the correct way. The SD cad is a 2GB kingston.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
2GB SD cards are picky. I have a 2GB card in my camera that my laptop will only recognize about 50-75% of the time, although I've never had a problem with it in my camera nor with the card reader I have plugged into my other computer. Of course, it could be a defective slot in the phone, too. The only way to tell is to try with another card (preferably a different size).

microSD cards are cheap. I'd suggest getting a 4GB or 8GB card and seeing if the phone accepts that; if so, just use your pc to copy all the data from the old card onto your hard drive and then onto the new card. If not, you've still got a new card as well as evidence that the phone needs to be replaced.

[Google Pixel 6] Frankenscript:
Hi folks,

I've got a VERY STOCK NON-ROOTED Pixel 6. It's fully up to date including the latest June update that I took this morning; all apps up to date.

For several days, maybe a week or more (who knows how long, but not more than a month), images in Google Photos appear jittery. These are static photo images, no animation or re-rendering should be needed. but, if I watch that screen, some, not all of the photos in there, look like they are being re-rendered, ever-so-slightly differently (like off by a pixel, back and forth) flickering maybe two or three times a second, on the Google Photos home screen (the one you get as soon as you launch the app, before scrolling and tapping into any particular picture) When the flicker happens, typically the main picture in the middle of the screen and at least one of the partially visible pictures below it will flicker at the same time. If I don't touch it, the flicker sometimes settles down after some time (20-30).

Anybody else see this? It's easy for me to reproduce: just make sure Photos is closed, then tap on the home screen icon for Google Photos. The flicker persists if you scroll down; it's not just the pics at the top that flicker/jitter. Again, it settles down afte some amount of time. It's only this app, not the phone generally, and only for the first half minute or so of using the app before closing it.

Any ideas what's going on here?
[Google Pixel 6] Frankenscript:
I'm curious if I'm the only one seeing this. I'd be interested to hear replies even if it's just "me too" without any ideas for solution.

My present theory, which accounts for it "settling down" over time is that after it loads the visible initial pictures, it's still loading pics below into memory to have them ready for scrolling; this loading action may trigger occasional redraws that cause the jitter I see.
[Google Pixel 6] funnymatt:
I've been trying to help a friend with a Pixel 6 Pro with this exact thing happening, so it's not just you. (I just checked mine, and while I hadn't noticed it before, I can see it happen on a larger image on my Pixel 6 Pro as well.)

rkupdate is a firmware/recovery flash tool for Android

The code is official from Rockchip and released as part of the Recovery sources.

I recompiled it to work from within the Android system instead of the Android Recovery.

The codebase is from the more recent Android 9 recovery. This means the tool is able to handle Android 9 and Android 10 recovery images (which aren't handled correctly by the old code in the bootable Android 6 recovery)

The source code, including my modifications, is available here:

https://github.com/smx-smx/rockhip_bootable_recovery/tree/rkflashtool

Tested on my PX5 (Eunavi), i could successfully flash "PX5_A10_IGV.img" from within Android.

WARNING

- You acknowledge that you are proceeding at your own risk, and i'm not responsible for any damage that might occur to your head unit

- Flashing full IMG files including "system" and "data" might lead to crashes. Only use this tool with reduced recovery images (IGV files from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/11zpgoOW4eU6G1tjs7ExsZ2aC4RoZ9KDr)

Instructions:

$ adb push rkupdate /data/local/tmp
$ adb root
$ adb shell
# chmod +x /data/local/tmp/rkupdate

Now connect a USB pendrive with the IGV recovery image, or push the file you want to flash to /data/local/tmp

Then execute rkupdate passing the path of the IMG file

For example, if pushed to /data/local/tmp:

# /data/local/tmp/rkupdate /data/local/tmp/PX5_A10_IGV.img
# reboot recovery

The new recovery should boot, and the erase process should begin

If you reached this far, and feel like contributing, you can:

- Help write an Android app/frontend for this tool

- Test the tool on your unit, and report back if it worked for you

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] 3fe:
Hi everyone,

unfortunately, I uninstalled an app and it deleted the folder with all backups as well. I am now searching for a way to recover deleted files from internal storage without root (since my phone isn't rooted and I can't root it either because it's a work phone). Does anyone know how I could do that?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] David-538:
Hi, I had a similar issue deleting photos on another rooted device and still couldn't recover the files using rooted recovery apps... So although never finding a solution, all i can say is you could try some pc smartphone recovery software, and that might probably be the only way you can recover some of the files. Also in the mean time don't copy another files or install apps to the phone becuase that will overwrite deleted files making them totally/permanently lost.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] kerstin92:
Hi all,

I may have just messed up my smartphone and really need your help. I wanted to get rid of some of the bloatware on my A40 and read online that one can actually uninstall many apps via the Windows command line. So I looked up a list of apps supposedly safe to remove and ran a batch file to uninstall them. This is as far as I got:

Right before that, I had moved apps related to "Knox" and "MDM" and everything seemed fine. But even while the last commands were running, the "desktop" disappeared (the home screen with all my app shortcuts) and some kind of "busy notification" was running instead (I think it said something like "starting up apps" or "launching apps"). But the phone didn't reboot, it just seems that the homescreen had crashed. I then noticed that I might have slipped in apps for deletion that I actually needed or was using, such as

Since the phone seemed to be stuck in this "busy loop", I decided to restart it by long-pressing the power button and selecting restart. But from this point, the phone wouldn't restart and got stuck in a reboot loop, where only the Samsung logo pops up, followed by a short vibration pulse, then reboot etc.

At this point I panicked and started searching online for solutions (which also brought me to this forum). I've read about using OEM unlocking, firmware-flashing using Odin, Samsung Tool Pro, TWRP etc. but quickly got lost in the woods and didn't want to risk breaking things more.

There are log files I can access from the boot menu which might contain a lot of useful information regarding the cause of the problem, but it's way too much to type it:

Is there a way I could somehow read these log files via a USB connection? For example, in rescueparty_log, there is some "serious-sounding" stuff:

Also, some information from the boot screen output:

Is anyone perhaps familiar with this problem and knows of a way how I could get the phone to start up properly, so I can at least recover all my personal data?

My impression is that I might have deleted some important system app, since the problem occurred right in the middle of the uninstall process (see shell history above), and I'm a little bit hopeful that maybe it's possible to just reinstall it somehow. I haven't tried the "Wipe data/factory reset" option in the boot menu as I don't want to lose all my data.

Thank you so much for your help, any advice is super-appreciated!!

[General Topics] Shooting Star Max:
Hey! I was just researching something about this. Thanks for your detailed post.

I am from Chile and, in my case, my operator had subscriptions to two channels: 919 and 920.

In order to see the Cell Broadcast menu in the Messages app, I had to override a CSC setting (I use a Samsung device), particularly "CarrierFeature_Message_DisableMenuCBMessage") because it seems some Chilean operators ordered Samsung to hide it.

Even then, the Google Cell Broadcast app would not let me modify settings other than test alerts.

In my country these emergency alerts are quite unreliable and are often sent by mistake or to the wrong place (i.e. sending a tsunami alert to an area more than 100 km away from the coast).
[General Topics] RFZ:
Can you explain how you disabled this CSC setting and on what samsung phone/os?

You can see Googles/Androids latest default configuration for Chile (MCC 730) here:

https://cs.android.com/android/plat...apps/CellBroadcastReceiver/res/values-mcc730/

The config.xml really has some restrictive features enabled :/
[General Topics] Shooting Star Max:
Thanks for your reply!

Please note that all the following information assumes you have rooted your device. It's impossible to override this configuration otherwise.

My device is a Galaxy Note20 Ultra (Exynos version, SM‑N985F) running Android 12, One UI 4.1.

As you might know, Samsung devices include several packages named “CSC”, which define settings according to a sales code matching with a region. For example, a device sold in Chile without a carrier uses the sales code CHO, while one sold by operator Movistar uses the sales code CHT.

In the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, the CSC packages are stored in /optics/config/carriers/single (older Samsung devices might use /omc/).

Once you find the sales code matching with your current configuration, you can grab two files: cscfeature.xml and customer_carrier_feature.json. Taking CHO again as an example, the files would be /optics/config/carriers/single/CHO/conf/system/cscfeature.xml and/optics/config/carriers/single/CHO/conf/system/customer_carrier_feature.json.

These files are encoded, but OmcTextDecoder can take care of that.

In the case of CHO, customer_carrier_feature.json has the value "CarrierFeature_Message_DisableMenuCBMessage":"TRUE", which hides the cell broadcast menu in the stock Messages application. Just replace “TRUE” with “FALSE”, save the file and push it to its location. The next time you reboot your system, it will be applied.

Regarding the link you sent, I think we could get around that configuration by decompiling the GoogleCellBroadcastApp.apk through Apktool, modifying the restrictive values, and then pushing the APK to the device, replacing the original version.
[General Topics] RFZ:
Thank you!

Let me know if you managed to patch your original CellBroadcastReceiver.apk!

I actually tried using Runtime Resource Overlays (RROs) which is described on the official docu about CellBroadcast in Android.

You can find the result here: https://github.com/xsrf/android-de-alert

However, I didn't quite get these RROs. It looked like in Oreo you can use RROs to overlay any resource of any app without any permissions or matching signatures, which is quite a surprise to me?!

On my phones with more recent OS, I get signature mismatch errors and also it looks like apps now have to define what resources can be overlayed ...
