[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] android_slave:
The only app I installed before this problem started was the Google Play Services app. (I still have the issue with the time on my TV.)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ze7zez:
The problem may also be created by the device from which you get Internet on TV.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] RedRoan04:
Today suddenly my wifi stopped working. It automatically switched to 4G. That has happened before so i tried accessing my wifi settings, but when opening wifi settings i saw a black screen and got the message that settings stopped working. I tried rebooting the phone about 5 times. I tried turning on and off planemode. Even combined that with the rebooting but nothing seems to fix it. Other settings are working fine, but they are really really slow. I am planning on doing a factory reset, but maybe there is an easy fix i didn't think about.

It is running on miui 13.0.1.0 global version. I live in the EU. The phone is almost a year old.

I hope somebody can help me with this problem.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] felixpaz1992:
If you haven't managed to "manipulate" the software, be it Rom, kernel or install unknown APKs, I think that the factory reset will not help, since it seems to be a hardware problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iMarc:
I just got my Fuze last week and I have seen TONS of awesome threads (thanks XDA!) but I haven't come across anything solid to replace the task manager that came with the stock rom (I haven't installed a new rom because there isn't one that jumps out at me). I had Celetask on my Dash and loved it. Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? While Celetask was awesome on the Dash, I don't really feel like paying for the English PPC version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
I'm using HandySwitcher.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dr g:
How do you disable the stock one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iMarc:
Looks like I am just going to have to live with it. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dr g:
You can shut it off by going to Settings > System > Task Manager > Button. Uncheck both boxes and then you can install a variety of other task managers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dgduris:
I am using Implicit Software's Task Manager and Switcher. I really like on my Fuze because I have a little button at the top of each screen that let's me switch to any open app. There is also the 3D task manager which you can assign to a hardware button and it will rotate to each task.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thedogger:
I use pBar - it's a great little task manager.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TweakMyDevice:
I personally like Wktask. It's light and very functional. You can set it to a hardware button (which can't be done with HTC X-button) and bring up a quicklauncher menu with things like Close, Close All, Toggle Data Conn, and programs from Start Menu.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Loco5150:
WkTask is the best with no contest.... http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html

And I see they have a new version out!!!

WkTask gives you running application buttons to your start bar, like in your normal windows pc. And thats among other things and functions it does....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Ditto for WkTask
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] snark_be:
I second that. I'm also using HandySwitcher and it's really good!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dr g:
Does it actually work on your Touch Pro? I tried it and it slowed TF3D to a crawl.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] slob13:
I think WkTask is the best! Usr it my self
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Dramacydle:
I like Wktask, but it has a strange quirk to it when TF2D or TF3D is enabled. In the task bar, there is a generic window icon that I can't seem to remove or hide when Wktask is enabled. Does anybody else have this problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TweakMyDevice:
tap and hold on it and click "hide always"

A while back, i started off with the HTC Task Manager and then switched to Wisbar Lite. With HTC's neweset Task Manager, i went with it instead of Wisbar Lite.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dr g:
Are there any finger-friendly solutions other than the HTC manager?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thedogger:
WKTask's built in brightness control doesn't work on Raphael, at least not when I tested a few weeks back. Anybody have luck getting that to work?

EDIT: version 1200a brightness control works!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Dramacydle:
Thanks! That did it. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] californiarailroader:
OT Is anybody else as weirded out as I am by the Charlie Manson avatar Loco5150 has? :D OT

I am torn at which TM to use now, I guess I'll try them all and see how it goes!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aadadams:
Yes, I too was quite dismayed by that avatar, but I figured I would just be concerned about the "loco" one in silence.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
I'm from Europe and to me the name Manson isn't saying a lot. I know he was an American criminal and given the fact that I know his name he probably was a quite dangerous one. If Americans have hard feelings for respectively against Manson and feel horrified if someone uses his picture as avatar I thing you should explain it to loco via PMail. Maybe he didn't know that and changes his avatar afterward?!

I think a public thread isn't the right place to discuss this. You should either PMail loco and explain to him why it dismays you or you should report it to a Mod asking for his opinion.

Just my two cents.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] chibahawk:
hey i just added WTtask - however it seemed to have enlarged the text on my Start menu... ive searched setting but havent found anything to make the text smaller/cleaner
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aadadams:
Note the order of posts. I did not initiate the dialogue, but here is a summary about the man that will let the masses know something about Manson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson to show why there was concern.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bzdziagwa:
I'm using some older version of WkTask (now upgrading to latest one) and....QuickMenu which is similair to standard Windows expandable menu.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] shinydiamonds:
I use both wktask and handyswitcher. I like the top battery and the drop down close/minimize, handyswitcher is nice that it shows all programs running. I also tried wizebar, which i was a fan of before, but seemed buggy, along with SPB Pocket Plus which kind of combined wktask and handyswitcher in that it had battery bar and the close/minimize along with all program drop down all in one program. pbar looks interesting, looks like a 2003se era, but i'll try it out anyways.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dr g:
I'm still on the lookout for a finger-friendly switcher to replace HTC switcher with. My gripes with HTC are that it's slow and cannot be accessed from every application window, so you cannot always do direct application-to-application switching or select applications to close at any time.

So far the closest to what I'm looking for is actually Task Facade, which is in ongoing development. I have it mapped to the "green" phone button via AEButtonPlus, but it's not 100% reliable like that (if I am in TF3D contacts, it dials the contact rather than switching to Task Facade).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Hal_rr:
direct application-to-application switching

Did you find a good one you would recommend??
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dr g:
No lol... I gave up shortly after and went back to the HTC task man. Kind of stopped looking. There might be better options out now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] evilc:
I started using NATF v5 (wm6.5) the other day and discovered this one (\windows\taskmgr.exe) which I haven't seen before.

Have I been living in a cave and missed an old app or is this new?

It's absolutely awesome! It shows more programs than most, is totally finger-friendly (On WM6.5 anyway...), the hardware button control is great (Just uses up/down, Touch Pro's left/right can be fiddly as we all know) and allows switching or killing apps easily.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Toan.vietnamese:
I have downloaded the theme like the photo. Can someone show me how to get nine apps into such a compact folder? I looked in the utility but couldn't find it. Thanks everyone
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] def-g:
Press and hold the app. Drag it over the one you want to have in the folder. Folder will be created. Name it if you want. Then drag other apps in newly created folder.
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] Skyica:
You may use App Finder to search for such apps.

You can filter for apps with less than a certain number of downloads or ratings, and then sort by average rating for example. You want to see newly released or updated apps? It has filters for that too. And you can filter for completely free apps without ads.

Maybe most importantly, it shows screenshots and feature graphics directly in the result list, so you may often immediately see if an app looks promising.

[Android Auto General] Svettel:
I have a Samsung S20plus Exynos. My car is seat leon and i am using android auto. For a week, all the time i am having issue with maps. I tried three different usb cable. All battery optimization options are off and all location permissions are on. All the time Google maps says "searching for the gps" or "signal lost". I did cache clean also.

I really don't know why this is happening. Am only one that ls facing with this issue or is this a software problem?

Sorry for the language.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] davestuarts:
How many others still using their G5 as a daily driver?

I am since 2016 (h850) and using the latest available Lineage 18.1 (Android 11)

Using Proshot & open camera apps, although the camera quality is far behind whats available now but it still works and get decent images.

My GPS hasn't worled for a long time.

My vibration motor doesn't work, but thats ok.

The touch sensor doesnt work, I think thats because of LOS.

I'm using a modded samsung battery

I'm on my second display (replacement is an original LG part)

LOS is laggy sometimes, especially when turning on Wifi after a while then all apps seem to want to download their data, the phone becomes unresponsive.

Takes a minute to be stable. Other than that, cba and can't afford a new phone so still using as a daily driver.

Any better camera apps or further recommended tweaks?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] freddyba:
Hi i want use my LG G5 h850 but i have miss the date to unlock it.

so i cant use it while the bootloader ist lockt and the LG System is over and i lost my unlock key :(
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] EEngineer:
I'm still using my LG G5 H830. I have LineageOS on it which does not support VoLTE, now required for use on T-Mobile;s network.

I bought a new H830 (v7.0.0) off eBay and my plan this week is to root it, install recovery, upgrade to stock v8.0 Android then migrate everything to this phone.

@davestuarts , I recommend you buy a new H850 off eBay and migrate everything like I'm doing.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Hi,

I gave up some months ago using the G5 as the chin started to randomly fail and not let me charge the phone. While I was using it I replaced two batteries, repaired multiple times the fingerprint sensor connectors on the motherboard and replaced the camera glass. Vibration motor started to fail too (squeaking instead of vibrating, I think I killed it playing Hooked On: COTD on the EKA2L1 emulator), and of course GPS was, and always had been, just barely working.

Despite all this, it was a great phone, especially shooting photos in RAW format: if you want to spend a minute or two to improve the photos you take, Adobe Lightroom for Android is the best software to make any decent picture taken with the G5 look as good as if it was shot on an iPhone.

In my opinion, by the way, the stock LG camera app is better than the other third party cameras, with only Google Camera being better in some occasions, albeit a bit buggy on the G5: on Celso Azevedo's website you can find all the modded Google Camera versions, with precompiled settings for the G5 too.

The last month I used it I switched from the stock Oreo ROM to a LineageOS-based one (DotOS, if I recall correctly), and it became surprisingly faster, even tough that meant sacrificing the FM radio and the IR remote.

Now I'm considering to buy an HDMI adapter and use the G5 as an Android tv box, if the chin proves to be reliable enough to keep the phone charged while it is sitting behind the TV.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] davestuarts:
Hey, thanks for your input, very thorough, appreciate it. I'm pretty much in the same camp as you, although mine does charge though it's chin is a bit loose. I've got a back case on, which is tight and helps keep the phone together, kind of a cheat method.

I'm only using as I cannot currently afford to buy something new, and want something with a decent camera but with LOS support too or rootable. I have been looking at some used Pixel phones, but its about price.

Anyway, I was happy with proshot app, as I like photograpy and it gives great manual control and decent pics but seeing how newer phones are so much better, I have recently gone back to trying gcam (previously it would crash often), which you mentioned.

Playing around with v8.6 and it works suprisingly well and produces some really great photos better than proshot, although slow at times, especially the processing time.

v.8.7 worked but even slower with some features kept crashing it.

I'll have a go at lightroom, never thought about it before. Thanks.

Incidentally, what phone you got next? Also, great idea to repurpose G5 as android TV.

Have you got that running and if so, what rom is usable, especially to have HDMI out and does charging work at the same time?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
After the G5 I got an Asus Zenfone 8: small, powerful processor, OLED screen, 3.5mm audio port and easily rootable. It's not a cheap phone, but I was lucky enough to find one used for 390€ (spending more than 400€ for a phone is unreasonable for what I use it for).

To repurpose the G5 as a media center, I will go back to the stock Oreo ROM, as DotOs (and I suppose all the LineageOs-based ROMs) doesn't support the HDMI out.

I've bought a Choetech xch-m180 4K Usb-C HDMI adapter, that "should" (I'll believe when I see it, but I've seen videos of it working as expected) be capable of 4K output and battery charging. I already have a USB-C to HDMI adapter, but without battery charging, and the phone lasts less than one hour, so permanent installation is impossible with that one.

Then I'll install a media center like Kodi (if it can be controlled using another phone via Bluetooth or WiFi) and Tasker to shut down the phone's screen without locking it.

The hardest part of the setup will probably be dealing with the restrictions that each app imposes on phones with root or HDMI output.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] davestuarts:
Thanks for the update. That Zenfone seems great value for what it has, especially with an OLED and 3.5mm, which I need, you've got it at a great price. In the Uk it's much more £600/€680 and very hard to find it used/refurbished, I can get a Sony Xperia IV for less, refurbushed and 12 months warranty but still too much for me.

Thanks for the other info too. I'll be interested to know how your G5 android project works out.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] davestuarts:
@tremalnaik Well, I bit took the plunge and found a good deal on a Xperia 5IV.

Brings back memories of my xperia Z3 compact, which I still have, used as a shared media/internet with lineage 18.1.

This new Xperia 5IV wioth its long slab design is so different but very usable.

Superb cameras, especially with their camera styled apps.

I can even use Gcam for better night shots.

Plus the needed 3.5mm jack AND Sdcard slot.

Hopefully, in a few years lineage will be available on, but unlikely to be a popular device due to cost though a great device for them to port one over with all it's extras.

Now, need to repurpose the G5, after I've transfered everyhig over and my phonbe cover arrives. I dont know why companies make such expensive/slipper styled backs, as so mnay people put on covers. Or just make the back more durable.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
I wish I found a good deal for an Xperia phone as well: it was my first choice, but any Sony device is really expensive here in Italy.

3.5mm jack is a must for me too, especially when it's the only way to listen music on a 14 years old car.

I wouldn't put much hope on Lineage for future upgrades though: while the developers take an honourable effort in keeping old phones up to date, most of the times any extra hardware feature of the phone will be hard to implement. If you take the G5 as an example, in 7 years nobody found a way to make the IR blaster or the FM radio to work, and neither VoLTE, HDMI, etc. due to the lack of documentation on how these functions are integrated in Android.

Going back to your previous post, I finally received the HDMI adapter and it works like a charm. Here's what I had to do to make it work:

-Connect the adapter to the tv, to the phone, and to a suitable USB plug (for some reason if I connected the USB power plug to the USB port on the tv, the adapter glitched, so I had to connect it to the router's USB port)

-Change the DPI settings to make the phone think it's running on a large screen

-Dowload a tv launcher: I found Simple TV Launcher to be simple and reliable

-Download TV version of the apps you need: Aurora Store has a convenient spoofing feature so I chose to make the phone appear like it's a Sony Bravia TV to download TV apps

-Download an app to control the phone usimg another phone as a remote. "Bluetooth keyboard & mouse" would be the best, if only Bluetooth wasn't a totally unreliable technology (out of three phones I tried to use as remotes, 2 had terrible lags, and another one wasn't able to connect at all). So my next choice was Zank Remote: not as good for non-tv apps, but as it works through wi-fi, it actually works. It can even be used like a rudimental wiimote to point at the screen.

-as I don't want to see ads on Youtube and I'm too lazy to try to compile ReVanced Youtube, I went for NewPipe: it's definitely not optimised to work on TVs, but it works.

So far I've only tested it with RaiPlay (national TV's online platform) and it works really well. My phone is rooted and I don't have any other movie platform subscription, so I don't know if this setup could work with Amazon Prime or Netflix. By the way I could test it with AceStream (the primary reason I wanted to make this setup, so I don't have to turn on the pc and stream from VLC to the Blu-Ray player connected to my not-so-smart TV), and it works flawlessly.

The hardest part of the whole setup is to shut down the backlight of the G5's screen while HDMI is connected: I had to use a shell script and automate it with Tasker. Still I haven't found a way to stop the HDMI out if the phone is locked, to save energy: if I lock the phone, the adapter will actively output a black screen to the TV, so it's likely wasting energy for nothing.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] davestuarts:
Sorry, thought I had replied to your last message. Yeah, got lucky with the Sony, they're expensive in UK too. Last few years with the corrupt goverment and brexit has caused all prices to jump, only rich or corrupt exist easily.

You're right about Lineage or other custom rom being available for the Sony, as you said, they never figured out the IR blaster for the G5, theres always hope tho ha.

I've been trying to use the G5 as a android box but my issue is the battery drain. Its the old battery and the HDMI dongle with the charging port cannot sustain the battery with screen on, so it dies and also it gets quite hot.

I've been looking at apps or scripts to turn off screen while using, but cannot find anything yet. Theres an app on my Sony phone thats for gaming, it allows the charger to be plugged in, but not charge the battery instead it simply powers the phone, so it dont get hot and you can game for longer. I need an app like that.

My other option now is to take appart the phone, connect a third party battery which is big, like 5000mah and just leave phone open. I could also attach a heatsink or something to the phone internals to help with heat. I'm not bothered with leaving phone open.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredin_:
So I see a lot of people using magisk patched boot images that are really old. It'd be better to patch the image yourself from magisk and use that. The problem might be that it's not that easy to extract it.

You can find most of the stuff from stock rom extracted by me here. The files were extracted from the Indian varient. Make sure to use the appropriate files for your stock rom. The index site does have other files like some old and unstable kernels so don't go flashing everything you see from the root directory. This just started as a personal archive. The domain is free, so idk how long it'll stay active either.

As always, use everything at your own risk.

[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] newt23:
Do Magisk versions newer than v24.3 work this way?
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredin_:
Yes, patching the boot image is the recommended way to install Magisk.

The official guide does ask to patch AP wholly for samsung devices, but patching the boot image itself is faster.

Official Guide
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] newt23:
I don't understand why I get bootloops if I update to v25.x from v24.3 from the Magisk app (using direct method). As I understand it, it also (re-)patches the boot image.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredin_:
That's how I updated too. Try flashing the magisk zip directly.

Or, only update the magisk app, patch the boot image, rename it as boot.img, put it in a tar file, and then flash it to "AP" using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] newt23:
Hmm... this is funny. I patched the stock boot image and flashed it using Odin and still got bootloops. I took a full nandroid backup beforehand so I was able to get everything working by flashing TWRP again and restoring the previous boot image.

I get bootloops if I install v25.x from TWRP after installing a rom or update to v25.x from v24.3 directly or by patching the stock boot image. The only one that's left now is flashing v25.x zip from TWRP (while having a functioning system with v24.3) but something tells me it's going to end in bootloops too.
