[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digitaldon37:
I'm making an update on the program to standardize the icon sizes, what they are today will change in the next release. Hopefully this will make it easier to use existing icon sets.

the add/delete (+/-) icons: 16x16

weather details: 36x36

current details: 48x48

form buttons: 48x48

The next release will have some additional tweaking of the text display, as well as add a couple of new features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davehutch:
Looking forward to it.

Will resize all the Spil icons and repost the theme.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klaus_ch:
Hi digitaldon37

Do you really want to stay with these image sizes ?

I was googeling a bit and ditn't find any 'standardized' size for weather images.

The images of the National Weather Service, are even 55*58 pixels.

If you make reference to icon sizes they are 16, (24), 32, 48 and 256.

There is no 36*36, the size you intend to use for the detail images instead of 40*40, I find the 40*40 size OK.

For the add and delete buttons I find that the original size of 20*20 looks nice, 16*16 pixels is somewhat small and 24*24 somewhat large.

Attached the comparison for the add/delete buttons 16*16, 20"20 and 24*24 pixels. In this image you also see the advantage of a matching sizes between image and control . The 16*16 image is sharper than the 2 others.

If you change the image sizes, that means that you should resize all images the condition and detail images.

Best regards

for the fastboot rom can I use the one from Star for Mars?

MI 11 pro MARS does not have global rom in any way?

If I flash rom fastboot stars in mars will it stay in bootloop?

Thanks !
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
You can but dont relock the bootloader.(playstore not certified).

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/star/

https://xdaforums.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

better than stock rom

https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/22-6-8-6-9.66076/
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ayg197:
Thanks for your answer

I think I'll cheer up

and in a few days when I get the ok to unlock bootloader I will do that job, I hope and have faith that everything goes well
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ayg197:
To avoid problems, they recommended me to edit the flash.allbat file and remove the Antirollback command line, is this correct? Or can I avoid having to do it?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ayg197:
does anyone have it by chance?

I can't stop finding this rom
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
Do it if you have this problem ou directly flash a Xiaomi EU rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ayg197:
An existential doubt, if the device has the rom with Antirollback version 1, and the rom to install has AR1 too, is there any risk?

Thank you for all your help
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
The answer is above.

With MI flash the flash will not work ,if ARB, that's all.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ayg197:
Thank you all for your advice I managed to do a successful job!

Sorry for so many questions!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ayg197:
Thank you all for your patience, responses and help.

I managed to install the Global rom of Mi 11 pro Mars

1) Check the ARB and in both roms, the current one and the one you wanted to install in both the version was: 1

2) Unlock bootloader

3) Install with Mi flash without problems

Totally successful job!

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Ap0s:
This is a quick guide on how to fix the Netflix FHD problem. The problem is actually that even if the device is Widevine L1 certified but is not Neftlix certified then HD content wont play. There are a few dirty ways to bypass this. I will write three ways​

Some things before we start:

I am not responsible for any damage to the device or data loss.

Backup important data just in case!

Method 1. Downloading patched apk:

Download the patched apk from here.

Install the apk.

Open Netflix and sign-in.

Enjoy!

The easiest method but the app version is old (4.16.3) and if you update the app the patch will be lost.

Method 2. Using Lucky Patcher:

Download and install lucky patcher from here (Use LP Installer).

Download Netflix 7.44 from here.

Now you have two ways to install the .apkm file.

Using "ApkMirror Installer":

Download and install "ApkMirror Installer" from Play Store or APKMirror.

Open apkm file from file browser with "ApkMirror Installer" and install it.

Using "App Manager":

Download and install "App Manager" from F-Droid.

Open apkm file from file browser with "App Manager" and install it.

Launch the app to check if it is working but do not update!

Close the app and launch Lucky Patcher.

On the left side menu tap "Update lucky patcher" and install the update (if one is available)

Then on the same menu tap "Download custom patches"

After the operation is finished go to main screen of Lucky Patcher and select Netflix

Tap "Menu of Patches" -> "CustomPatch-applied APK" ->Check "Signature verification killer" -> "Rebuild The App" -> "Go To File" -> "Uninstall and install"

Open Netflix and sign-in.

Enjoy!

Slightly more complex method but you have a more recent version of Netflix

Method 3 [ROOT]:

Install Magisk and root your device.

Download and install with Magisk this module from here

Uninstall Netflix completely.

Restart your device.

Download and install latest Netflix version.

Open Netflix and sign-in.

Enjoy!

The most advanced way because it needs a rooted device but works with every version (at least for now) but beware since this patch changes the device model name it might brake some stuff.

Also if you want to revert back to original model name just uninstall the module.

I tested the three methods on Lenovo TB-X606F and the two first on LG Q7 and worked nicely.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JhonsonOG:
be very careful, this has all the appearance of "data theft", something similar as "keylogger" in windows.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] CDzungx:
More information? Proof? Don't just say. At least 2 method is open-source, where the "data theft" code?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] xristos1925:
It's working both apk from first way and Lucky Patcher way on second way. This version of netflix is a bit laggy, so If would be recommended the first way with the patched apk although it's older version, it's working nice without bugs. Both ways tested on TAB S2 9.7" SM-T819 and it's working nice I prefer the patched apk method.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Ar-Pharazon:
I've been going bananas and nuts trying to gather information on the S22 Ultra international models.

I'm certain, with Verizon, I need a GSM

&

CDMA capable phone so my voice and data both work.

I'm fairly certain I can't use one of the Exynos chipped models, but that it has to be a Snapdragon chip. (conflicting information out there on this)

So I'm thinking I need the SM-S908

E

... or the

B

maybe?

Barring that, for anyone who has gotten an

unlocked US model

, can you get the

Developer Options

to appear and if so, does

OEM Unlock

appear? None of the demo models at Best Buy would unlock Developer Options, but that may just be a demo restriction.

Bottom line, I want to root the next phone so I can install Titanium Backup and get the excess garbage under control. My Verizon bloated S20 Ultra literally has no way to get to OEM Unlock. It simply isn't there.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Village_Idiot:
My daughter has the US unlocked version S22. It does not have OEM unlock in developer options. From what I've read in these forums and elsewhere, the bootloaders of US S22/S22+/S22U devices can't be unlocked. Nobody has figured it out yet. I'm confident that as soon as someone does, it will be posted on XDA in big bold letters.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Ar-Pharazon:
That definitely helps. So it's Samsung locking the thing down for whatever reason.

I guess I still need some recommendations on non-US models and hope I can use one of those.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Ar-Pharazon:
What makes this worse, my S20 (2020) Ultra has no way to get to "OEM Unlock", but the Tab A8 (2021) I just got

does

. Great consistency Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] entropism:
S, Z and Note series phones have been locked down since the S7 in the US. And the issue with buying an international phone for Verizon is that the bands you need won't be supported.

Yeah, this isn't even necessary anymore. Backing up your apps with Google or Samsung works great, and if you want to get rid of "excess garbage" just get the US Unlocked model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Ar-Pharazon:
I rooted my S8+, though there were a couple issues (visual VM never worked again and the battery % never went above 80% except a few times in the months before it died altogether).

I find it a little unlikely that an unlocked model would let me remove things like Game Booster (while I can "disable" it, it still interferes with games) and any number of other unwanted apps. This seems to be a hallmark of US models more than any other....bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] entropism:
You rooted your S8 due to a leaked engineering bootloader, and if you did that, you knew the issues it caused (which you listed) and how difficult it was to obtain root for samsung devices since the S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Clapton Kagimu:
if successful please keep me in the loop
[Samsung Galaxy S22] skinza:
If you want to remove excess garbage use adb app control

No root needed, can also remove icons from the status bar if not wanted
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Ar-Pharazon:
I finally got around to downloading ADPAppControl. All it shows me are com.xxxx apps. No way to see all apps by proper name. or is that only available in the "extended" version?

I'd still really prefer to get this thing rooted properly and use Titanium Backup, which I know works.

Before this I found that Kingoroot was worthless and RootMaster was infected with a Trojan virus.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] i00:
I used PIM Backup to backup my text messages before hard resetting my phone... this is an example of a threaded message before:

Me 1/1/8: Hey mate how's it going?
Bob 2/2/8: Good, whats been happening?
Me 3/3/8: Not much ... just work
Bob 4/4/8: Ahh ... that sux

When I restored the messages they appeared as follows:

Bob 2/2/8: Good, whats been happening?
Bob 4/4/8: Ahh ... that sux
Me 1/1/8: Hey mate how's it going?
Me 3/3/8: Not much ... just work

... I use PIM Backup 2.8

... this really sux.. is there anyway to "reindex" the messages or something to get them back in order?

Let me know if this has happend to you or how we can fix it.

Much appriciated,

Kris
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Garcia:
Same happened to me and I solved it the following way:

You need a registry editor, I use resco, but anyone should work.

In "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Setting" you create a folder called OEM where you make a non threaded SMS setting, (reg attached to save you the hazzle) when that is done, softreset and restore the messages with PIM Backup, remember to set it to delete all previous messages and now you have all your messages the old fashion way with no threading.

Then you go to "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Setting" and delete the OEM folder created before, softreset and voila your messages is back to threaded format with right order.

a little work but apparently the PIM Backup for whatever reason cannot put them in right order when restoring
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] i00:
My registry doesnt have the setting folder ("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Setting") has "HKCU\Software\Microsoft" though ... am i missing something?!

Thanks,

Kris
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Garcia:
No, you didn't miss anything, it was me that was too quick when writing, it should be:

HKCU\software\Microsoft\inbox\settings

I forgot the inbox, sorry

Garcia
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] i00:
thanks alot
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LumberjackZac:
So many whoas solved in such little words.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kobe!:
Dude, I know this is an old thread, but this worked like a charm. Thanks so much!

Maybe someone should update the PIMBackup official thread to edit this in so other people having the same problem have something to refer to.

also, the key for those that don't want to install the .reg file:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000001

[Google Pixel 5a] urover:
I have a Pixel 4a that I dropped from coffee-table height onto a wooden floor. The phone landed on an edge and broke the internal screen. The outer glass is undamaged.

Initially there were rainbow lines all over the screen, but after abandoning it for a few days, now nothing shows up on the screen at all. Charged it overnight. Nothing. It does make the device a little warm, though. Powering it on produces no signs of life.

When I took it to uBreakiFix they checked for a minute and said since it doesn't respond to charging (no vibration) and doesn't seem to "power on", it probably has a dead motherboard as well.

However, when connecting it to a Windows laptop, it is reported as "Pixel 4a(5g)" in Settings>Devices, and an "MTP device" shows up in Device Manager.

Since I did not have File-Transfer as the default option for USB, and because ADB was not enabled prior to it breaking, I am left with no real way to test this device.

I also put another SIM into the phone and tried calling it, but it goes to voicemail.

Is this phone dead and ready for recycle-grave? Or is there any hope? Help is much appreciated!
[Google Pixel 5a] blackhawk:
Pull it apart. May have loose connectors.

See what visible damage is there.

No visible damage doesn't mean your in the clear but it's a start. Inspect the battery for swelling, a failed Li.

If it starts responding when you use a pencil eraser to gently push and flex the mobo different ways, push on the BGA chipsets, that's clear sign of a mobo solder fracture or broken trace. You can also try this with the phone together by putting pressure on the case at various points... don't go too nuts with it though.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
you can do some things booting twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) for your pixle 4a provided your phone bootloader is unlocked (fastboot flashing unlock vol down once then power to unlock without screen is the command). i can't remember if it wipes the phone or not. adb devices should see the phone once you boot up twrp. you should also be able to access the phone like a usb drive as well. if you are trying to pull data off it. make sure you have the latest google usb drivers installed from their website https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

this should give you some sort of start. to see if it even is responsive.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cabagekiller:
Are there any custom roms for the pixel 6 pro? I don't see any on XDA and I have a hard time finding them with just a Google search. I appreciate you answering me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
there are a few (2) listed in the development section in this forum. but most aren't listed on XDA anymore. You will want to join a TG group that lists all the ROMs that are currently available (approx 8 right now). The name of the group is Pixel6Chat
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
Ahh I'm finally getting the hint. Why has development migrated to tg? I've never even used tg lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ajsmsg78:
Yes, there are quite a few. crDroid, Spark, Lineage, Derpfest, AICP, AOSP Extended are some.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] beaverhead:
telegram links are not allowed
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Face_Plant:
Too many n00bs cluttering developers threads with posts that don't contribute to development. It gets annoying fast when people keep re-asking the same question that has already been answered multiple times in the thread or is answered in the original post, or complain about bugs without providing a logcat or at least details on how to reproduce the issue.

I remember when XDA used to be about Android development, but as it gained popularity over the years it started to become more of a general Android/smartphone/tech help and support forum.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
I see. I can hardly blame the developers. Perhaps a more tightly moderated board would be more encouraging.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cpufrost:
Definitely sad state of affairs!

I figured it may have been for another reason, say why we lose things like vanced.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TotallyAnxious:
Telegram is full of noobs too lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jericho246:
True that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sronweb:
Sadly, especially the new generation prefer TG groups instead of forum. But if the reason is that people keep asking the same questions, it might happen more on any social media or group, as the forum should be better for searching function and tags by arguments. One limitation perhaps is that the new XDA forum is not compatible with Tapatalk, and, for mobility reasons and use on smartphone would be a nice method to access.

As the original Google firmware delivered with the stock rom has some special features (we know mainly some code related to Tensor computing, for photography on gcam, as well on dictation etc.) I wonder if we may see any review here, about the main difference, which features are common, because part of AOSP rom code, and what we may miss. Does the custom roms in Pixel apply ie the June updates?

In my previous devices I always used custom roms, but I never owned a Pixel and of course would be interesting to know about the difference.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
I hate telegram and refuse to use it. Is there a discord we can join to get the updates and or downloads? I joined xda years back for custom os like lineage for my android devices.

When was lineage os for pixel 6 pro built? Twrp?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
You can download some roms like lineage for p6p here. Just use fastboot -w

Then fastboot update "rom.zip"

I can't guarantee that all these roms use that method but lineage os does.

Pixel 6/6Pro/6a - Google Drive

drive.google.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
True I know those commands. But It will wipe my data and well I kinda dont want to do that right now. I will download them though for the future when twrp becomes a thing for the p6p.

I have been using fastboot commands to update my p6p monthly security patch :). Magisk prevents it.

Thank you for the link! I just downloaded them. Will keep them saved for the future when I can use them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
This seems to be a factor too. I read in one of the descriptions of a recent released ROM that proprietary features would not be included because of similar concerns.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
These are fastboot flash able zips , I don't think they would work on any twrp btw

:) I don't know if there will be a twrp for a13, which I'm on any time soon. Even official lineage with los recovery would be great 🤞
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dragon Kumera:
agreed! But time will tell. Glad to see within the past month custom roms have been happening. Pixel 6 pro has a 5 yr google support so there is no reason to really move to custom roms unless its for fun with messing around and experiencing features.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
I must say, latest A13 beta, rooted, with AOSP Mods and a few others, makes the Pixel 6 Pro feel GREAT
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sronweb:
Yes, I have seen several positive comments about A13 beta. I'm with A12 on Derpfest, and as soon there will be a nice custom rom I will move it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] android_dan:
You know why this "new generation" go to TG? Because on XDA if someone complains about a bug or something they have to deal with it. On TG if someone says something they don't like or want to deal with they can ban them. Way to many people lacking the mental capacity have admin rights on TG.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] StrangerWeather:
I was a noob too when I joined XDA 10 years ago. Eventually I learned how to root my phone, started flashing roms and kernels, then started building roms, then learned coding, started developing my own apps etc etc. I very much appreciated all the help I got along the way from XDA members, and the positivity was heart-warming. I am sad to hear that developers are now abandoning XDA because of noobs. The ethos of XDA is to help everyone and I like that...

[Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Questions & Answers] techily:
Hi. This is urgent since this phone is my personal one and I'm stuck here, its completely dead. I've read almost every thread in this section and tried the commands, and use the files they had but they do not work... anyways, here's the situation:

Last update ( KLEN2203050OS00MR1 ) hardbricked my phone. It was literally dead, I had no firmware, or ROM whatsoever. I already took it to a verified Xiaomi store and they gave it back to me (they didn't do much tbh just fixed the bootloop). I flashed with with EDL mode and now bootloader is unlocked and I can access recovery mode. When I try to flash, I keep getting the same error with the next files: system, vendor, product, and odm -they are .img files. And to add, I have another error saying " FAILED (remote: 'Partition not found') ". I've read multiple posts and threads that they were able to fix that issue with " fastboot flash fastboot " or something like that. I tried the command again days ago and tried to flash again, but no luck. I am trying to install a stock ROM. My phone is a Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. I believe I have the global version.

I would really appreciate any help really, since I've been dealing with this for 2 weeks now, and taking my phone to the verified store to fix it will take weeks and it's very expensive... :)
