[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilo2000:
Damian, Denzil, first off I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for the work you are doing on this phone. I just sponsored both of you a couple of coffees to show my support and appreciation for the awesome work you are doing here for all of us.

I've been using the A9 with Damians latest Rom for the last 2 weeks and I can already notice a bunch of improvements to my quality of life such as less eye pain, less headaches and most importantly I switched from mindless doom scrolling back to actually reading books, something I haven't done in way too long...

So far I am very happy with Damian's ROM, I love the AOD and the way the ROM handles the refresh rate on a per app basis. Battery life is excellent for me as well, usually I can go a full 2 days with around 3-4h of reading per day without having to recharge the phone. Especially when using reading apps such as Overdrive or Kindle the phone often times only consumes ~1-2% battery per hour which I find incredible!

If you don't mind I would also like to provide some feedback as to what I have noticed while using the app during the last 2 weeks:

On the AOD I've noticed that sometimes the notification icons do not update properly. What I mean by that is that sometimes it will for example still show a notification even though I have already read it / closed the notification before. I've noticed this with YouTube music for example and strangely enough the little USB connection symbol which sometimes shows up on the AOD even after I have disconnected the phone from my computer. Notification symbols show up correctly when the phone is unlocked but on the AOD they are sometimes wrong.

I found the media control widget on the AOD to be a bit wonky. The Pause button sometimes will not work and if the title of the media that's being played on the phone is too long it pushes the Pause button outside of the widget bounds making it impossible to press.

This one is a bit of wishful thinking :) On my old Samsung I loved the feature that you could tell the phone to stop charging once the battery level is at 80% or 85%. This is great for preserving the battery lifetime, which I am a huge fan of since I intend to use my devices as long as possible. I saw that a similar feature was introduced to mainstream LOS recently and was just wondering whether this is something we would see on you A9 ROM as well?

The above points are really just "luxury issues", I love the ROM feature wise as-is :) Keep up the great work, I am very much looking forward to both of your future releases.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
Thanks 🙏

About the charging limit, I believe this is more a kernel feature than an OS feature... Since Hisense has not published their kernel which is against GPL, we have this device stuck on 4.19 kernel :( we can update the kernel but then no drivers for the eink, fingerprint, wifi, modem, etc. This is why we use Treble as well, so those are preserved on the vendor partition. But I could be wrong and perhaps there is a way to instruct the kernel to stop charging 🤔
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damianmqr:
Thanks, glad you enjoy the ROM!

As for the extra features, I have a few from previous suggestions still waiting to be implemented, but I will consider those and yours for future releases. Right now I wanted to focus on porting vibration support from stock and improving AOD battery life, but the QoL improvements are next in line 😁
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilo2000:
Thank you both for the swift response, really appreciate it.

Damian, I fully agree that non QOL features like the vibration and battery life for AOD should be first! As mentioned I think the ROM is already in an incredible state as-is.

Another small backlog QOL feature I just thought of (sorry, can't hold myself back :D ):

It would be awesome if for the AOD background image you could select a folder with background images and the AOD then selects a random one from the folder every 24h.

Very much looking forward to what's coming!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frost015:
How do I do that? I've been a github lurker for many years yet I don't have a clue about how to proceed to do that lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
I'm working on improving the night light feature. Currently it's integrated with the OS schedule and setting but I need to handle the screen on and off events as well. Currently, if night light is on and we turn off the screen, the yellow LEDs remain on, it only turns off the white LEDs.

I've also identified another place to improve the native AOD. Currently it keeps the screen brightness at 17 at the lowest (this is OLED thinking) so for us this can be 0 so that the backlight turns off completely. This will significantly reduce the power usage, while still retaining the live updates on the native AOD.

Another thing I'll add is the ability to disable Eink Center handle the refresh button press. This would allow us to install Eink Center but then have Damian's overlay show up for example for those on LOS21 or if someone wants to use Key Mapper to do different things on a given app when pressing the button. Eink Center already supports broadcast to clear and a broadcast to set an app speed so integrating Eink Center with Key Mapper is easy and can be done per app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
Open an issue on the project 😊
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farfromrefuge:
You mean having the last "image" persistent after the screen turns off? If so it means having persistent image on the eink screen without using any battery!

I personally really want that because i plan on using the a9 as a map device for bicycle trip. And so i could have the map always present on screen while not using any battery( or i should say screen time)!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treff89:
@bilo2000, ACC / ACCA work to stop charging, I have it set at 80%. Install ACC with Magisk and AccA APK as normal.

Just loading up @dferreira Ponce build now. Feels really light and efficient, wish it had the customisation of LOS though! Still, amazing work to compile it and have it running without major bugs already.

Dream feature would be to view the text of notifications on the AOD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
Thanks!

I'll look into ACC and AccA.

You can enable the setting to show notifications content on the AOD under Privacy 😊

@farfromrefuge that is exactly what I discovered is happening on my build if I turn off the AOD and turn the brightness as low as possible and lock the screen. The display is off - there is no touch input - yet we see what we were looking at!

I'm thinking if this is something I can control with Eink Center, a toggle to engage this consistently when we turn off the screen. Something like "Sticky display on power off."
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frost015:
Having the option to regulate the night light level like in stock with a slider would be the icing on the cake for the brightness/yello led combo options.

I'm still unsure what AOD does cause unless it needs a reboot I don't notice any changes in my lock screen with AOD on vs off.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferreira:
Check if you have enabled on the Treble settings the force enable always on display and then on the wallpaper and style settings have enabled the Always show information. You should see the clock and any notifications when you lock your phone. If all you see is a blank screen, AOD is not active
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frost015:
Thank you man! Now it's working. It's a nice feature but I prefer a static lockscreen for me. I'll wait until one of you geniuses manage to get a wallpaper as a static lockscreen haha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biodbl:
I use the battery alarm app, which notifies me when it reaches the pre-configured charge level. Even though it doesn't stop recharging

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] level5music:
I'm not sure how this is happening although I guess it's nice to have this benefit, even though I don't watch much where Widevine L1 is required for HD. Curious if anyone has encountered this as well, or if maybe I'm seeing this incorrectly 😂

View attachment 5716511
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Burt Squirtz:
I just checked mine and mine's L1 also, even though I'm rooted. Are you using the newest Chinese magisk alpha? I am.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Except for a few months maybe 2 yrs ago when I was using my Pixel 4 XL (there was apparently some kind of glitch going on then), mine has always (at least when I've checked) been L1 while rooted with the official Magisk.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
Yep, as far as I'm aware this is because root is hidden, therefore the phone is masquerading as a normal, unrooted device, and can pass all necessary checks to play DRM restricted content.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fastbooking:
Nope ! It's just that Google doesn't care if you're bl unlocked because their widevine runs in a secure context inside their magic titan chip, so even with root, you're supposed to be unable to hack it, so yeah they leave L1 cuz they have faith in their own system and even then, seriously ? Removing HD from bootloader unlocked devices ? What's the point even, but anyway, that's an OEM thing, not Google.

Hope it helped you in a way to understand this big mess that is widevine

Here's the wiki page that'll help you understand the thingy about secure environnement like TEE (Trusted Execution Environnement iirc)
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] Coeyoe:
What best kernel for good battery daily use, i installed custom rom havoc os v.3.9 A10. Thank's 😃.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] amn1987:
Use ROMs with the upgraded 4.9 kernel. Practically bug-free compared to custom ROMs based on the default 3.18 kernel. Much smoother and battery friendly and very stable. Stock 4.9 kernel is good enough that there's no need of any custom kernel. However a few do exist. Do note that 4.9 kernels can only be used in ROMs that are based on the same kernel and definitely not 3.18.

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
Hi, i'm using RayOS on my A71, it's great but honestly, i just wish to go back to Stock.

Now, i know that i can flash the ROM via Odin (in fact my bootloader is already of the stock ROM i want to flash) but i really want to know if i could just flash the super image (AP) and HOME_CSC.

Would it work to keep data and TWRP? Or i really will need to make a Titanium Backup, send the files to the PC, flash the ROM with all the files, flash TWRP, format the phone again, install magisk and restore the backup?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
Well, RayOS is S21FE, I wouldn't recommend switching to stock A71 without wiping your data. There may be a lot of conflicts on system apps with their data meant for S21FE, but up to you I guess.

I would just use Swift Backup + root to backup important apps only and then just wipe the phone the following way

- Flash stock with Odin (with regular CSC) to wipe phone (this wipes media too so be careful)

- Let the phone reboot (it will reboot to stock recovery to wipe the phone) and immediately after it wipes the phone and turns off, boot to download mode

- Flash vbmeta disabler and recovery

- Boot to recovery and flash the multi disabler to prevent recovery to be replaced with stock recovery

- Boot to system
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
Thanks my friend.

I end up putting the AP file at magisk (at RayOS) to create a bootimage stock that can root.

Set a Samsung Smart Switch Backup for phone settings and apps and a Titanium Backup for the apps data.

Flash it and restored that way.

Next time i'll do it, i'll do your way with Swift Backup, i didn't know that app but now i'll check it out.

By the way, if i want to update the phone to a new build when Samsung launch, will i always lose data?

Guys,

I've just become obsessed with the flash game "Flood It" - http://www.labpixies.com/gadget_page.php?id=10

Can anyone tell me a similar game or how I can get this for my PPC?

THanks,

Grace
[General Topics] kml.krk:
I am looking for the same game. It would be great if someone with programming skills could write similar game or IF possible port the existing game to pocket PC
[General Topics] kml.krk:
Flood It came out for iPhone

I just checked the LabPixies website and I see that they came out with the Flood It game for iPhone.

I have NO idea how or if it is possible to port iphone games to windows mobile but I thought I would let you guys know that it exists so maybe someone can make it work under win mobile.

PS. I will be trying to make my own version working under windows mobile, but I will not start until the school semester is over due to the lack of time.

I will be coding in either VB.net or C#

wish me luck ;)
[General Topics] mburian:
Good Luck!!!

BTW.. have you had any luck writing this as yet?
[General Topics] kml.krk:
I am sorry but I did not. I did not even try to be honest.

I had to take one internship/project class over the summer and I changed job so I didn't have much time.

LabPixes version of floodIt is so advanced now that it is hard to compete with ;)

I am back to school now with 5 classes and full time job, so it will be hard to find time, and besides that to be honest the more I think about this project the less I think I know how to do it...

My programming skills are just not enough.

I think you will have to either use PC, iPhone or get Android on your device. The third seems like the easiest solution providing you have a device that the Android was ported to.

Sorry again and good luck.

[General Questions and Answers] hrb2022:
I cannot connect to the Internet in the UK with this device. I have got to Sim card, both of which work in an iPhone for data. One has been set up with APN settings as guided by that network. The other not.

With Talkmobile and APN settings there is a circle with a bar where I believe I should see network connection at the top right of the galaxy screen. The main Galaxy dashboard shows 5G but I don’t believe this. Also if I go to software update within settings on the Galaxy it says that no network is available.

Only when the status bar shows the 5G logo, the device can access the Internet. Maybe you should first confirm whether your region supports n77, n78, n41, n28 these 5g frequency bands.

Instructions:

Flash LineageOS for tab a8 sm-x200

Format data from TWRP.

And wipe all partitions, then just reboot into fastboot and flash your system image

fastboot flash system system.img

(system being lineage or google gsi or whatever)

then once i have created the folder select the .xz or .gz or .img

also a fastboot -w after flashing for additional wiping wouldn't hurt

make sure you have a unlocked bootloader and have twrp installed.
