Choosing a controller for gaming for FX5

It's a pain to choose controllers for devices. Since I don't game on a console, I didn't have DS 5 or Xbox controllers handy.

Here is a summary of my "research."

Game triggers: TBH I found them annoying. I got a pair of OnePlus triggers. I never used them nor do I have any inclination to use them.

Xbox One X/S controllers are the way to go IF you like the clip-on gaming.

DS5 controllers have issues on Android 12 notably on Color OS(Not tested )

GameSir X2 has game compatibility issues, according to reviews & Reddit.

Razer Kishi's game support is okayish. But not as good as Xbox One.

But the design was alluring, so I purchased the Kishi to see how it works.

The specs for Kishi are 145.3 – 163.7 mm (Height) x 68.2–78.1 mm (Width) x 7.0 – 8.8 mm (Depth)

Fortunately, Find X5 is 160.3 x 72.6 x 8.7 mm, and it snug fits.

For reference, Find X5 Pro is (163.7 x 73.9 x 8.5 or 8.8 mm) and it might not fit.

The proximity sensor is covered by Kishi, so we need to manually adjust the brightness while playing games.

The controller is alright. 7 / 10 level. It's portable and doesn't have lag, but the game support is meh.

COD Mobile, Genshin Impact and Apex Legends don't support Kishi on Android.

The official Razer App doesn't list all supported games.

I had to test games and see how they worked.

Games with okay support

Jetpack Joyride

Fortnite

Rocket Legends sideswipe

Marvel Future Fight

MCVS

Games with good support

Dan the man

Grid Autosport

Asphalt 9

Shadowgun Legends

Sidescrolling platformers are fun to play. This is one WIP section that I will update as I get to it.

Playing Android Games on TV & Computer.

I used casting functionality to cast GRID Autosport on my Android TV, but there is a slight lag,.

If you are going to play, you need to check games that use gyro like GRID or NFS No Limits.

As mentioned earlier, I have used MultiScreen Connect or PC Connect to play phone games on the computer.

Multiscreen Connect requires WiFi Direct & Bluetooth on Computer. I have the AX200 card on my PC, which is a decent chip.

The slight lag which was present on TV was not present in MultiScreen connect.

Having a game controller connected to Find X5 is mandatory. Or else it doesn't make sense. Your screen might dim off while playing games/

I enjoyed playing Shadowgun Legends & Asphalt 9 on PC using a Controller.

I might get an Xbox Controller or DS5 and see if I can use a BT Controller while using Multi Connect.

Is it pushing things a bit too far? Yeah, but it's fun that way.

Final Words

Overall this review is pretty late, and I had to edit/redo a lot of stuff due to app & software updates.

I do have plans for testing games and will provide some short reviews in the future.

Or perhaps do fun things with MultiScreen Connect, which I like to use.

Do tell me in the comments

What charger comes with the phone? The 9 pro has the 65t, the nothing phone is coming with a 45w charger.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] karandpr:
80 W SuperVOOC.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] Stephen:
Now that is awesome. I am holding out for the oneplus 11 or the Pixel 7, But if the OP 11 comes with the 80w charger that would be awesome!
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] karandpr:
OnePlus 10R comes with 150 W charging so I guess 11 will come with 150W
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] Stephen:
Is the R only available in India? The 10 pro on the UK is listing the 80w charger in the box. 150 charge time would be mental!

This is quite a good video on the 10r. 18 minutes and 43 seconds to do a full charge on the 10 r. That is amazing!!

I ended up getting a DS5 Controller and they work pretty well on Color OS 12.

It was fun playing Shadowgun Legends which had native support for DS5 which is a surprise.

Does anyone else’s phone have a greenish tint to it when you view at an angle? I’ve got a Find X2 Neo and it’s clear as a bell, but this one has that tinT and it’s very off putting. I’m really disappointed with the phone, if I’m honest. The Neo has a better camera.. it’s clearer and the colour is more vibrant, the sound is slightly lower on the X5 and the screen doesn’t inspire much confidence. Wondering if the phone is faulty.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZTEMINI:
Hi all

My Zenfone 8 screen is broken and needs to be replaced after a fall. The phone is still under warranty so I was wondering if anyone had this fixed already and knows how much does the repair through Asus USA cost because the customer service representative didn't tell arguing that it needs evaluation from the repair technician.

This process sucks because you need to send it in first for an evaluation and then you get the estimate and you get to say if you want it fixed or not. I was wondering if I could know the cost before sending it in.

I have been offered a Redmi Note 10 5G.

It is an EEA model running (I believe) V12.5

I need to flash it with the Indonesian ROM (like I have with my Redmi Note 9) so I can use Call recording.

I can find V13 of the ROM but believe that it has problems with sound on voice and Whatsapp calls. so I need to find an Indonesian version of V12 just in case I have the sound problems and need to re-flash it.

Can anyone help point me to where I might find the appropriate version?

Hi, I'm a newbie who's interested in what an android phone can do. I'm currently debating whether to root it or not, and if I should get a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Questions & Answers] Lakssen:
I already have developer options, do I just tick OEM unlocking and that automatically unlocks the bootloader? Or do I need to hook my phone up to a PC? Or is there another way to unlock the bootloader on the phone without needing a PC?
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Questions & Answers] newt23:
You enable OEM unlocking, turn the phone off, press and hold volume up + volume down and connect it to a PC, then follow the on-screen instructions.

There's no TWRP for M21 A12 yet, so you can't do much unless you downgrade to A11 first.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shoenfem:
Good day,

I have a US version TCL 75S434 with firmware version V8-R51MT02-LF1V286.020616

This TV lists as an Android TV and shows to be running Version 9, which I assume is Android version 9.0

The tv shows a Kernel Version of 4.14.94+

The tv shows a Build of PPR1.180610.011 Release Keys

I have issues with the Power lite Flashing off then back on every minute or so. According to what I have tried to find out, this could mean that the TV is stuck in an update. I've checked for updates but via network but the TV says there are no updates. I've tried the remedy of factory reset, unplugged with prongs shorted while sitting for 30 minutes, nothing seems to stop the power light flashing. No responses from TCL directly.

It was suggested to me by another person on Facebook that I have an old firmware version and that doing a manual update of the firmware to the latest version would likely resolve my issue, update the android version, and change the TV from Android TV to the current Google TV.

Could someone kindly educate me on this frustrating matter? I have tried reading many posts, but the proper course of action or firmware is still unclear to me.

Many thanks in advance to those that share their valuable time!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Firmware version V8-R51MT02-LF1V286.020616 is latest by network auto update.

Is dated Apr 04 2022, so facebook user are not right.

You can try ,change to Google TV by flashing R51MT05 IMG file.

All your apps and data will be erased.

First you need to flash R166 custom IMG file....

1.65 GB file on MEGA

mega.nz

Once you flashed, you can update with latest V306 OTA file (by renaming zip file V to R) ,dated May 18 2022.

V306 OTA....

File on MEGA

mega.nz

Hope you know how to flash IMG file and OTA update?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shoenfem:
Stasiof,

Many thanks for your valuable time!

For further clarification, may I ask?

- Do YOU, in your extensive experience, think that the change to Google TV is a desired change, or is it better to stay with the current Android firmware? I realize this is my own choice, but what would you do if it were your tv?

- Dependant on your answer, would a reflash of your suggestion OR the latest network auto update firmware likely resolve the flashing Power light issue previously described (blinks off then back on about once a minute that presumeable indicates a stuck update). And if so, is there an accessible source for the latest network firmware?

I realize your time is valuable and I thank you for sharing your knowledge!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
For sure I will try Google TV first.

As you have latest network auto update, don't expect new one soon.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shoenfem:
Stasiof,

Thanks for your help!

I was able to successfully accomplish the first step of downloading and installing the R166 custom img and now have google tv instead of android tv. Works well and light no longer flashes. Many thanks!

For the second step to update from the new img to latest OTA, I'm not sure how. I downloaded the V306 OTA software but I am unsure what you mean by renaming V to R. The file I downloaded is V8-R51MT05-LF1V306.020663 and is a zip file. I assume this is still the latest update. I am unsure and confused what to do next.

Could you share your knowledge again?

Thanks in advance!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Rename zip file.....V8-R51MT05-LF1V306.020663 to V8-R51MT05-LF1R306.020663 (V to R).

Copy zip file on USB =>...setting....software update...local update.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shoenfem:
Stasiof,

That worked perfectly! I am all updated.

I see that in the forums yourself and others will post firmware updates, but I am unsure which group to follow and now that I am converted from android tv to google tv, how do I know which files to look for without always asking. I assume it has to do with the V8-R51MT05-LF1 but I am unsure. Do you have any advice?

Many thanks!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yes,

I have the same model TV 75S434. Software Version: V8-R851T02-LF1V458.018656. I am having issue flashing the firmware update (.image, first file), I have tried multiple usb drives, I have decompressed the file, copied it to the root of the thumb drive formated as FAT32, unplugged the tv, plugged in the usb drive, held the power button, plugged tv back in, the firmware update screen comes up it tries to validate the image with three green bars and says failed to validate image... Any suggestions? I am going to redownload the image again and try one more time. It is a US version TV... Trying to get off Android 9 is the primary goal.. Secondary goal is because of stock firmware sluggishness... Not sure why TCL isnt giving at least one OS version upgrade.. Was hoping this Google TV image was newer. Thank you!

1. What is the latest official version I can safely flash?:

A) V727 which is mentioned here, here, and here.

B) V718 which is mentioned here and here.

C) V715 which is mentioned here. (DL1, DL2, DL3)

D) There is an even newer official safe version?

2. Flashing OTA is preferable in that it keeps current settings, installed apps etc.?

3. To confirm, for an IMG file I should use the steps here: https://xdaforums.com/t/tcl-android...y-tcl-beyondtv-beyondtv.4025755/post-87022407 and use the Local Update function for an OTA file?

[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
Hi to All, maybe some of you could be interested in knowing how precise is our blackstone GPS in three dimensions - e.g. how accurate is the reported spatial position with respect to the true position in space.

In fact, my initial idea was to experimentally measure the GPS LAG at high speed, therefore I switched on the touch HD running gWatch while doing a small flight with an airplane that flies at about 200 km/h - and I wanted to compare the data with precise timestamps between different GPS (i had four on the airplane, but for two i couldn't extract the trajectories!) in order to see if the positions at the same moment differed significantly.

For the time being, the time lag measurement is impossible - since the reference GPSMAP 296 (an aeronautical device certified for VFR flights that costs about 3 Blackstones....and does only GPS!) generates a very nice trajectory, but it FILTERS the data heavily so that it provides a track fix only about 5 seconds or so. Interestingly, also gWatch provides an output every two seconds, so a tight comparison of the GPS response time is impossible.

However, you can load the google trajectory below and get a sense for its accuracy - assuming that the GPSMAP296 is right ;). It is possible that the GPSMAP 296 was using WAAS, Wide Area Augmentation System, that could improve its accuracy (I didn't check it during the flight) and I also realized when i landed that the Blackstone had fallen below other stuff on the seat :o!

However, the precision of the trajectory in 3D looks to me pretty good ....is mine the first touch HD flying? :D

For your fun....

[General Questions and Answers] BigZ1:
Having problems booting into TWRP recovery by using power/volume keys on phone.

I managed to get the bootloader unlocked, so I am now free to load custom roms. Well, sort of. I rooted the system, and tried to install TWRP from the playstore. When I got to the part about flashing recovery with the TWRP image, it says Flash failed.

So, I went back to using adb and fastboot. I used "flashboot flash recovery TWRPfilename". That worked. Then "adb reboot recovery" took me to TWRP. So far, so good. When I shut down the phone and use the power/volume keys to boot into recovery, I get the stock rom recovery, not TWRP. If I connect the usb cable and use "adb reboot recovery" I get TWRP recovery.

What is going on here? Anybody who has a clue, please share your thought of the problem and/or possible fixes.

One more tidbit of info. I tried flashing TWRP (installed from the playstore) several times. At first all I got was Flash Failed. Now (for no apparent reason) it was able to flash the TWRP file. So I thought I'd test it out. No change. Still can't boot into recovery by using vol-and pwr. Still takes me to stock rom recovery. But (same as before) adb reboot recovery takes me right to TWRP, and it's working fine. So, I have a way to boot into TWRP, but it requires me to have a computer and usb cable available. I'd like to boot into TWRP using the phone keys.

I am not doing any data wipes, formatting, changing permissions, etc. . Anybody have any experience with this problem, or any thoughts on how to fix it????

BTW, this is for an LG K7 MS330m1.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your device might be an A/B partition device, your OS that you're using and stock recovery may be installed in one of those partitions and TWRP may be installed in the other. This may be causing the stock recovery to boot with the buttons and TWRP may be booting because it is responding to adb in a way that stock recovery does not.

How to fix? Not sure, but, if your device is rooted, you can install a Terminal Emulator app then open the app when you want to boot into recovery and type the following commands:

su (press enter, grant superuser if prompted)

Then type:

reboot recovery (press enter)

Terminal emulator works almost exactly like ADBshell and can run the same commands as ADB shell, you just have to remove the "adb" and "adbshell" part of the commands. In the example above, the comnand in adb would be "adb reboot recovery" but in Terminal Emulator, it is just "reboot recovery". The same would be true for any command that begins with "adb" or "adbshell". You can also try running any other adb or adbshell commands that you might need in the same way in Terminal emulator directly from within the device instead of having to use a PC to run them. You can also flash TWRP(or any other partition/.img) using Terminal emulator by using dd commands to put whatever .img you need/want into any partition that you want. But, you must specifically identify exactly which partition the .img is supposed to be in, if you flash the wrong .img to the wrong partition, it will brick the device. You absolutely MUST use the correct .img and you absolutely MUST flash it to the correct partition.

Or, if your device actually is an A/B device, try seeing if you can identify which partition is which and which one your currently installed operating system is installed in and which partition the stock recovery is installed in then see if you can flash TWRP onto the partition where your stock recovery is installed then try booting into it using the buttons, do not boot into system before booting into TWRP, using the buttons, after flashing TWRP, immediately power the device off then try using the button combo to boot into TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] BigZ1:
Thank You Droidriven. You have provided enough info for a reasonable work around.

BTW, I didn't understand what you meant by "I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM" Would you please explain that? What is PM? If I am doing something wrong in my post, let me know, as that is not my intent.

Using a terminal emulator and using superuser commands does indeed work, to boot directly into TWRP. So, after trying the terminal emulator, I installed an app from Google Play Store called Simply Reboot. It will boot directly into TWRP, no problem!

I don't think I have an A/B partition device. The LG K7 was introduced in 2016, so it's pretty old. I've tried searching the internet, but I can't find any reference to A/B partitions on it. If you have any ideas how I could find out for sure, please let me know.

I have another theory, and would appreciate feedback from you, or others reading this post. I remember watching some youtube video on custom recovery, where they talked about two different ways to control what happens when you use the phone keys to boot into recovery. One is to load an image into the recovery partition. The other is to modify the boot image so that the boot process points to another partition that has the stock recovery image. I might not have that 100% as I am no expert on this stuff. Anyway, maybe somebody can comment on this.

One last thing. Now that I have a terminal emulator, and am only marginally proficient in Linux commands, can anybody suggest what commands I would use to try and figure out where the TWRP image got loaded, vs. where the stock recovery image is located?

Once again, Thanks for all the help!!!!!!
