There's currently an issue saving custom icons to the cloud that im currently investigating. The IDs generated for a users asset/icon are sometimes null which the system automatically deletes if its not correct or deleting 1 asset deletes the entire list.

Il monitor this and give an update on this as more information is available.
[Android Apps and Games] me7tarfeek:
Yes it worked on Fold 4… Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Next Update will focus on a few things

Their will be a credit system incorporated in extracting icons to your external storage and a limit to saving icons to your cloud. What these caps are and how we manage them are currently in development. This allows me to keep tabs on cloud traffic and limit traffic congestion. These credits and limits can be increased in due time with upgrades.

An add-on store will be added for per said credit system (Likely not needed but some folks may want it). This store will also be used to renew your license once a year for long term users to support development.

The crafting table will gain the ability to view your cloud assets and use them directly while crafting icons. This required me to rework the menu for cloud icons abit while adding an icon preview sheet feature.

There's an issue with IDs not generating correctly for cloud assets and icons. This becomes a problem as this could overwrite pre existing custom icons and assets and could cause the entire list to be wiped by the database if it sees inconsistencies when a user deletes an item. Im looking to resolve this issue soon.

Popup Menus have not been positioning themselves correctly or setting the correct parmas so ive been working on that as well as their entry and exit animations. These menus were inspired by my popups in GCA launcher and will likely be ported back into GCA with the improvements made.

Browsing icons can get alittle slow from category to category so il be looking into improving this across the board.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
The crafting table will allow users to access their cloud assets while crafting in the next update. This took abit of maintenance to pull through, just a few minor patches to go until it rolls out.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
New update rolling out tonight (APK updated, the apk was signed differently so demo users may need to change apks from previous installations)

Ive integrated a new developer mode so i can work on services easier without being interrupted by demo mode. As a demo user, if you feel something shouldn't be active, please let me know... I think i nailed up the doors properly...

I made some backend changes to the database that required a physical update which includes starting to integrate Cloud Asset Slots and Extraction Credits. They are not active yet but will be soon. This simply means users will have a cap to how many assets they can have in their cloud and how many icons can be extracted in a months time to their device. This can be monitored through the avatar menu on the dashboard.

These credits and slots can be increased with an upgrade but i really don't think anyone will need them unless your really want them. This in turn required a physical update to start services for in app purchases. Users will also be able to renew their yearly license (like if you were given Carpenter for free and wanted to still contribute to funding) and purchase credits and slot upgrades. This should be coming in the next update.

This update also included the following

-Users can now access their assets from the crafting table. This allows more options to user creations in real time.

-Fixed a bug that when selecting an asset to craft from, the craft activity would open twice, this caused issues to saving and creating assets. Sometimes nulling out the icon ID.

-Revamped the style to popup view cards.

-Added place holders for upgrades in the popup view

-Cloud Asset Render Service upgraded to work with the crafting table and be acceasible to other Carpenter services in the future.

-In App Display Messages and Notifications services are active

-Messages popup (should) save the last recent notification by Carpenter

-Icon Packs downloaded by Amazon app store and Samsung Galaxy store are now supported (should be)

-Security logic updated in Icon Extraction and Demo Mode services

There will be a part 2 to this update, just be patient as this next part might take me some time but shouldn't restrict any users from the experience
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Took a small break for the holidays, development has continued.

Ive successfully integrated the ability to increases caps with add-ons and so this weeks focus will be to integrate the caps and test them. Caps will be added to slots for cloud storage and how many icons can be extracted per month. This allows me to cap the cloud traffic and increase load times and secure content alittle easier.

Users who renew their license will see alittle "*" symbol beside their name. Il do something alittle extra on the next Milestone update.

Ive improved cloud asset loading in the upcoming update, it may need triggered with a swipe to refresh when viewing your list on start. Im gonna look at adding an indicator or some sort to remind users to refresh their list.

Lots of exciting things in development, ill keep the user base posted here and on the telegram channel.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Almost ready to publish the next update that will push towards the stable branch. Some details about the screenshots.

Upgrades and Code Redemption options will be available. These are not requirements but only to continue to support Carpenter as a quality of life. The app functions perfectly fine without the upgrades but just allows me to limit user traffic.

Demo Mode user experience fixes implemented

Samsung Store and Amazon Store support for downloaded icon packs

Main Fab now has a badge for items in each tab. User will be notified if user has used over half of there asset slots or if they are full.

Popup View has been revised to be smoother and information more available to the user. Credit system and Slot availability now integrated. In App Purchases and interface fixes.

Il be tweaking the main inspection activity before release to the stable branch sonit feels fresh for everyone with new rolls and information to identify.

Thank you for the support.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Added a promotional video above
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
ive released a new update today on Google Play which offically launches the app out of beta and into the light. Il continue to publish updates on the beta channel with more experimental features and upfront changes but everything seems to be rolling steady as planned!

The apk has been updated above as the demo version allowing users to take a tour and see what i've been working on but the unlocked version is the real treat as my users have experienced.

The new update implements content protection for icon packs. It simply means that users have a credit system for extracting icons to their devices, the credits reset every month. We'll keep an eye on this and see if it needs lowered or increased. The credits can be increased by purchasing an upgrade inside the app. These upgrades are simply integrated to prevent traffic congestion in the cloud.

Users now have a slot limit for cloud assets, same as credits, users can increase the slot count with an upgrade.

OTA Updater and version checker has been integrated in the popup menu.

Security logic has been increased for monitoring where the specific icon packs were installed from. Ive added support for the Galaxy Store and Amazon Store. Again, Icon Packs must "settle"before allowing you to access them which simply means they must sit on your device for one calendar day before Carpenter can access it.

I still have alot of things planned for carpenter but i will wait for the user base to increase first before adventuring into deeper waters.
[Android Apps and Games] larswars:
Do u have a promo code please? Thanks in advance. 👍😊
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Starting tomorrow, Carpenter will be free until the new years. Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Carpenter is now free until the new years. Enjoy!

A good time to get involved and check out what Carpenter is about. Again, icon packs need to sit for one calendar day before you can harvest and craft with icons. Im working on supporting icons from icon studio and Lawnicons but since their structured alittle differently, itl take some time to work in support.

I am working on a new update that reworks the inspection activity, it'll be more streamlined.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
I have a new update being cooked up in the background during this promotion so it should roll out near the new year. During this time, users may notice some traffic congestion until than. (assets loading incorrectly by ID or just slower)

Im looking into an alternative to google sign in, we may look into alternative email sign ups if it plays through correctly. Long as users can be identified individually, i don't really care what we use.

The inspection activity is getting a rework. The activity will consist of tabs and load an icon pack details in categories. APK information, content information, icon categories, view themed icon (vs how the menu action is now) and view missed icons (possibly show system suggestions or alternatives)

Browsing icons by category will get get abit of a rework. Its alittle bit of a mess right now as i really didn't know how to tackle it. Mostly i consider it like a developer preview but i want to integrate smoother loading, search by label or filters, get the adaptive shape loader to respond faster, limit the amount of shapes we can preview or a better way to see them.

Icon packs will eventually have an option to apply them to supported launchers. I cant support all the launchers on the market so I will probably just mimic a similar way from an icon pack library.

If you have any suggestions, ideas, request or concerns, please drop a comment below.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
I have had trouble taking photos from close angles. Anthony closer than 6 inches is blurry and gives me a "move back to improve focus" message. I tried open camera as an alternative, but have the same blurry quality photo. I'm not looking for macro photos, but I do like taking closeup shots. Just wondered if anyone had noticed the same issue, and if you've found a work around for it.

I tried the same distance with my Galaxy S10+ as well as a Note 8, and they both handled the shots well. The second picture was taken by the Pixel, the 1st and 3rd taken by the S10+.
[Google Pixel 7] SharifOthman:
There's no workaround. It's a common thing with new smartphone cameras. Step further, take a photo and then crop into your desired space.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
Thanks man. I guess I am going to have to wait and get a macro option in my next upgrade. Progress :unsure:
[Google Pixel 7] SharifOthman:
If you really care about macro photography then you should get a phone with an autofocus macro lens, none of these useless 2 megapixel cameras that are being thrown in every phone these days. I'd rather use the main sensor than to use these awful sensors.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
Well you are right. I would pay for the exra feature if it didn't involve exra large phones with curved screens. But that is another topic....:LOL:

I guess I don't look at closeup photos and macro photography as the same thing. The S10+ I took the above photo with has a 16mp and two 12mp cameras. They seem to perform fairly well in this range, but I know that I am not going to pick up the detail on the eyes of a bee with them (which is what I consider macro to be).
[Google Pixel 7] SharifOthman:
I fully understand what you mean. As for big phones, that's the exact reason why I chose the smaller Pixel 7, even if I'm missing the telephoto and the macro.
[Google Pixel 7] Finneri:
I noticed also that the minimun focus distance is quite far away. Althought, I've been happy with the results of the 2x crop (before taking the picture). Just get the minimun focus distance, then hit the 2x and take the picture. That big sensor and Super Res Zoom does the rest. Results are quite ok IMO.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
That's a good tip! Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raptown:
At some times it works fine, at other times, not. It happens with any system like tnt, wm5 and wm6 and it is solved by re-aligning but lately the screen would not even recognized my pen stroke on the alignment process...

Any help??

thanks in advanced!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raptown:
Forgot to say; I have TNT 20273.1.3.3

Nobody with this problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mz4u:
could be a workaround

Hi,

i am using this ROM and this Screen Align problem is not a software issue its hardware issue,

Try to press corner border frame and kept it pressed and then try to see if you can work properly, do this one by one with each corner.

once you identify which side your screen is not fitted properly then you can diagnose further how to correct it.

mine trouble was above to call end button corner. then I unscrew the entire device and re Fix it.

Cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raptown:
Thanks for your accurate reply! Mine is in the same place. I think it´s because there is too much pressure going on there...did you fix it succesfully? Or do you actually change the whole housing?

There was a bug on these at launch that didn't allow Pixel 7's to update these...so when Displax updated his mod, these weren't in effect...

anyone have issues with SafetyNet passing with root after updating these?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xDanVitox:
I'm back to Pixel after a couple years off and I just want to be sure doing a Google Play system update is not the same as System update/OTA. Or is it? Can I do this update without worrying about losing root or anything? I guess what is the difference between a Google Play system update and a System update?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sam2c:
Passing safetynet according to YASNAC after Play System update
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
My P7P downloaded 2 files for the Play System update. First 1 downloaded and installed. After the reboot, the update showed another file which I downloaded and updated.

Now shows Oct 1, 2022. Safetynet passes too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
You will not lose root. It is not an OTA, but it certainly feels like it! You will get 2 updates, one is 64Kb big, the next is like 60+Mb! So it feels like it, but it's not. I am able to confirm (after having roirraW "edor" ehT confirm) that you can do these and it will not affect root or safetynet passing.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Google Play System updates are not the same as an OTA/Monthly Security updates. They are part of the "newish" Google System Updates which includes Google Play System updates, Google Play Services updates and Google Play Store updates.

You won't lose root. Here's what is new in it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wolfu11:
What's weird is I just went to check and my rooted p7p says it's a nexus 6p. Is that normal?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xDanVitox:
Thanks y'all! This is what I thought but wanted to be sure. 🙌🏻
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It is if you have Displax's SafetyNet Fix mod installed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Markeee:
Strange how there was 2 updates in a row like that took the first update then I just happened to go back in to Settings > Security > Security update and it said there's another update there thought I was loosing it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Idunnowhyimhere:
My pixel 7 pro is on loop. After install one it wants the next and it keeps repeating. Two times was enough. They need to fix this play store nonsense
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TonikJDK:
I had that. It took 4 or 5 retries before it stuck.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] silverkin:
For those who updated, please check your Google Photos app, people on reddit complains that they have their photos duplicated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
nope fine here

that would make little sense why play services would cause photos to duplicate tho
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No duplication here either. I updated the Play Services to October yesterday.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] csupka91:
Let me ask the question here as I don't want to open a new thread.

I got my phone at 27/10 and ever since I'm being notified that there's a new security update, the size is 72.99MB.

Unfortunately I'm not able to install this and it annoys the hell out of me.

Is it possible that the upgrade fails as I've rooted the phone and I have the displax mode?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
If it's a monthly security update (rather than a Google Play System update), then yes, being rooted can make it fail due to the fact it will likely fail the pre-OTA block verifications.

Having said that, some users have reported successfully updating even though rooted.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] csupka91:
Thank you for your reply.

Could you please shed some light for me, what's the best way to unroot the phone? I've tried the "Recommended steps" from here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-ota-updates-keep-root-google-pixel-phone/#recommended

Extracting the boot.img from the zip file
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

But even after this, I still got root and the update wasn't successful
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Those directions are incorrect. On the Pixel 7 series, it's the stock init_boot.img that needs to be restored, not the boot.img. You can try to install the update through Magisk's "Install to Inactive Slot" method which a couple of people said worked for them (others said it didn't) even though I didn't think Magisk was restoring the stock init_boot.img so I'm not quite sure how it worked for those people or just restore the stock init_boot.img and try to update again.

fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img

Also, see this guide for all things Pixel 7, including on how to update each month.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
I know there were a bunch of topics on this earlier in the year but I have yet to find a solution and here's the weird thing...

I have a P6 Pro (Android 12.1) coworker has a P6 (Android 13) and both of us when at home (different homes lol) will have the Wi-Fi turn off, and a few seconds later turn back on again.

The problem for both of us started about a month ago. This is way too coincidental. Neither of us had this problem before and since we are on two separate but similar phones running two different versions of Android could this be a Google connectivity related app that is causing this problem? Maybe a bad update to something?

Btw I've tried all the fixes mentioned in previous posts. Everything but a factory reset and nothing has worked. It only happens once or two a day but it's annoying
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] arvylas:
I noticed that as well during the last couple of weeks. This wasn't happening before for sure. Still no idea what's causing it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
Thank you. The Google Connectivity Service app that helps manage Wi-Fi was updated about a month ago.

Since we all have different versions I'm thinking this has to be app related. Nothing else makes sense
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zaxx32:
I had the same issue back on 12.1 on my P4a...and oh man did it annoy the sht outta me! I too assumed it was prolly app related. I spent ages trying to chase it down. Then google offered me $300 trade-in plus a pair of Pixel Buds for a P6a...suddenly I just stopped looking. 😌
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] arvylas:
Did you try disabling the Google connectivity from app info?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
Not yet but may that later tonight
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] arvylas:
For now I tried rolling back to v53 of Google connectivity service to check if that's the culprit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Since it also happens with GrapheneOS which doesn't have that, its not the culprit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] arvylas:
I'm using the modem from qpr beta. Is anyone else with the problem using this one?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Modem firmware isn't relevant to wifi.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Hand76:
I don't want to jinx it but after happening to me every day for a few weeks it stopped. Been a week now with no changes made on my end.

This had to be a Google app. They are always getting updated and not always for the better
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Derbi75:
Hey guys, I'm seeing a lot of posts coming from Z Fold4 owners who bought their phone on the refurbished market and that can't set up Wallet.

Those phones are often listed as coming from the country where they are being sold. But Samsung Wallet (Pay) doesn't lie and will only be able to get set up in the country of origin.

Now in Europe, most Z Fold4 come with the EUX firmware (except for a few service providers firmwares that remain there and there).

My question is : Is there a way to know the country of origin of a Z Fold4?

The only way I've found so far is to ask a Samsung representative the country by giving out the IMEI number.

Isn't there another way..?

Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Nat.smith26:
I can't set up Samsung Wallet either, and I bought my phone one the Samsung Store during the pre-order period.

The issue is that I live in France but Wallet seems to think I'm from Germany, for no reason, so I can't achieve the enrollment.

I just think they messed up something with the new CSC policy.

I told them but nothing has been done since August.

I have a S21U on the side, and everything is working perfectly on it, same location and SIM.

So don' count on it and use Google Pay if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Derbi75:
Thank you! So you bought the Fold4 on the Samsung Shop while living in France?

Then there is definitely something wrong. I'll send a report as well, in hopes that the issue gets looked at.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Nat.smith26:
Yep Samsung Shop France.

There is something wrong with the EUX CSC.
