I am currently using PointUi home, which is an application that skins WM6 or any other smartphones that supports 176x220 and above. Looks good though, but the only problem is that, when you click on "Create New Message" or stuff like that, it opens the actual WM application, which is a bit ugly. This is because that PointUi Home is not actually an OS. Also the same with the iPhone skin theme for touch screen devices.

The photo above is the newest beta of PointUi Home. 1.51a.

Now, about this "TouchFlo 2d", what is the diff? Does it skin the whole WM system, even the apps? or the same with PointUi Home that just skins WM6 and change the Home Screen to be more attracive?
[General Questions and Answers] kidnamedAlbert:
PointUI is an application.

TouchFLO 2D is a very customizable Today Screen Plugin.(need touch screen to get full effect though)

in PointUI i believe there is a setting to change the default taskbar of Windows Mobile to one that is more Non-Windows Mobile-ish.

btw, im moving this to questions and answers since its not device specific.
[General Questions and Answers] downloaderintruder:
There is, but it doesnt really work though. They say its a bug.
[General Questions and Answers] kidnamedAlbert:
Oh. Well when i had it on my T-Mobile Wing, it worked flawless.

But i like TouchFLO 2D better :D
[General Questions and Answers] Paul_Days:
...

TouchFlo 2D is an HTC interface which is made to easy the use of the Touch Phones. It is mainly written inside of the ROMS but can be "skinned" on the Windows Mobile, but I noticed performance is not at all the same. Point UI in my opinion is....mediocre, respectively. I prefer TouchFlo over anything out there, don't wanna change your ROM?, try the one in the Development area which has like 10 parts to the install, it is a little bit of a hazzle.

For people who don't wanna be messing around with their phones: SPB Mobile Shell. Fast, easy and powerful, bug free too.

Hi to all,

sorry to ask a question that has perhaps been raised but I cannot set notifications with numbers (instead of the shot) on my OnePlus 10 Pro with Android 13 (OxygenOS).

Is there a definitive solution for that whithout root?

Thanks in advance,

[OnePlus 10 Pro] A13X4NDR:
Hi to all,

I've always used a great app to manage different sound profiles but with OnePlus 10 Pro (Android 13) I've encountered a big issue.

I need to set notifications to off during the night but rings and alarms have to be set to high.

This is because I need to be contactable for work but I do not want to hear notifications from other apps (mails, whatsapp, ...).

That app is Volume Butler.

In the past, it was simply possible to set the volume for notifications to 0 but now if I set this to 0, automatically the phone set the "do not disturb" mode that prevents calls and alarms, so I have to manually disable it and the automatic process is not working...

I was thinking to use an automated process to change the ringtone for notification using a null-sound but I have not found anything...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alex
[OnePlus 10 Pro] the_scotsman:
Tasker can do this. It may be overkill for what you need though, and it's not free.

It's like a way to create profiles that get triggered on a massive number of different things.

A couple I have for example, I turn off AOD on my phone when I'm sleeping, so it doesn't light up the room. I turn off wifi leaving the house, and turn it back on when I get to work, or back home. I mute my phone when I'm at work, and there's an appointment in my work calendar...that sort of stuff.

Tasker is my most used app, as it can do SO many things.

Below are my reviews of the best 3D wallpaper setting application for Android phones that I’m using, and they sound good to me. Having used many applications and tried ways to install 3D wallpapers, I realized: Download 3D wallpapers on the internet and set them on your phone. Maybe it will lose the original depth of the image. The reason is that your phone configuration is incompatible with the image.

This is an application I have experienced and want to share with everyone: 3D Wallpaper by Volio Co.Ldt. It's only for Android, so sorry iOS users, you should find other apps.

I noticed this app's pros:

+ 1000+ quality 3D images and animations.

+ Pictures are organized by topic conveniently.

+ Strange and unique images.

+ Small app size, consumes little memory space. The phone doesn’t need good quality also installed and used smoothly.

Hope my sharing will be useful to everyone. Explore: http://bit.ly/3NVwYPM

[Off-topic] julienrl:
well the title says it all. What would be your realistic dream HTC phone? (hopefully if we stay realistic htc will use this as a source of ideas! :p hehe... never know eh?)

Here is mine (of course if they go higher than that no problem with me... ex the ram and stuff)

Basic stuff:

600mghz processor

300mb ram

3" wvga or svga

3+mp camera + front vga cam

touchflo

wifi, bluetooth, gps, high speed

SLIDE OUT KEYBOARD IS A MUST!!!!

Extra stuff:

-USB host capabilities!!!!

-Wimax (programmable so i can use an other company's service of wimax with my phone)

-DUAL sdhc slot

-Biometric reader (can't they use the screen's touch capabilities to say scan the distance between your knuckles or something, because those finger scanners are finicky... if its the finger scanner, it HAS to also be the "wake up" so when you can it scans AND turns it back on)

-DUAL BOOT! comes with wm6.1 but you can use Android and some things like calendar, notes, alarms, e-mail and other settings and such are automatically used in both modes.

-built in software to turn your phone into a router\wi-fi hotspot (much easier and more stable than bluetooth)

-this goes against everything cellphones companies do. MAKE IT THICKER! and add a bigger battery. I would GLADLY add 1 cm to my Mogul to get a mega battery, but not those third party extra backings, they just make it lumpy and un-compatible with the belt holster it comes with)
[Off-topic] derekwilkinson:
Sony CLIE UX50 form-factor

http://www.mobilemag.com/content/images/1843_large.jpg

Wifi, Bluetooth

3MP camera

GSM and CDMA versions

~400 - ~500 mghz processor

Small, OLED screen on the top of the device for seeing notifications

Backlight, easy to use keyboard

VGA screen

Small, thin, but good battery life :)

and either WM 7 or Android

3mp camera??? you do realize that there is a 8mp Nokia phone right? so saying 8mp would be realistic lol.
[Off-topic] Mikulec:
Anyphnoe with the new nVidia tegra chip would be awsome. And a lot of hardware keys.

BTW: What about the sentence "My dream comes true"?
[Off-topic] m.schmidler:
xD this is a WM forum, no chance to convince me of buying a nokia...not even the new touch-thingy, its a symbian crap-phone.

Hell, yeah, Tegra rocks ! Hardware keys...yes, not too much though.

I think the most important thing about camera is that it´s responding fast, not like the latest HTC devices..I read the Xperias cam isn´t that bad..? Anyway.

My specs for a phone next year:

800-1000Mhz, ~300 MB Ram, ~500 MB internal storage, SDHC support, powerful graphics-engine, long-lasting battery (new technologies could help with that), G-Sensor, (better) Light sensor, proximity sensor (maybe),

3"-3.5" display with WVGA, 3.5mm audiojack, BT 2.0, WiMAX, high-quality earphones (Sennheiser or something similar)

BUT, the most of all: WM 6.5 or even 7 with support for all the eye candy stuff like shake-control, multitouch etc..and of course: speed :D

Extra stuff:

built in software to work with friends, play multiplayer games on it and remote control software for my PC.
[Off-topic] julienrl:
for free and easy remote controll software use www.logmein.com its what i use but it does require a data connection. works great, I used it to check what my printer model was at the store the other day when i forgot to take it down to buy ink :p

[Shield Android TV General] Impalerion:
Good day. I'd like to know if and how it is possible to bind MOUSE WHEEL (UP/DOWN) (Scrolling) to OTHER KEYS? Into something like fast forward/backward.

I enjoy watching sports on my 2019 Pro Shield and VLC player has a very smooth and fast seeking function. Jamming the same key over and over on the remote is tiresome. I wish I could rather scroll the mouse wheel up/down to achieve the same effect.

I installed Button Mapper PRO and changed the Netflix key to something else. But when I try to bind mouse scroll to a new key - the app is useless. How can I make Shield to let me change mouse keys?

Is there a way to achieve this either by changing something in VLC or Binding something with Button Mapper PRO or do something else altogether?

Thank you :)

A lot of Google apps are provided both by NikGapps (in the packages and as addons) and are available in the Play Store too.

I read that some apps have missing features when installed via the store: Search doesn't support voice activation ("ok google"), Maps doesn't support timeline history etc. I'm thus wondering:

Is there a list of which extra features you get, if you install the Google Apps via NikGapps as opposed to the Store?

And I ran into an issue related to this: I flashed NikGapps Core, then installed various apps via the Store. Maps' Timeline History wasn't working for me, so I was suggested to install GMaps from NikGapps. I uninstalled the Maps from store, flashed the NikGapps' one, but now Maps it's not working at all: even after force-stopping and clearing the app's cache and storage, Maps is not showing any map at all and doesn't work.

Can I fix it in any way? Or do I need to clean-flash my ROM and start over from scratch?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Start over from the scratch.:)

BTW:

The apps-package called NikGApps is softwares copyrighted by Google. Take note that Google name this softwares "GMS". GMS is not open-source. Instead, Google selectively licenses it to device manufacturers or OEMs for free, read: Device manufacturers require a license from Google in order to bundle GMS.

Installing GMS-apps via Google Play Store has the advantage that the apps get automatically updated if Google deem it necessary.

OK now sometimes I get emails forwarded to me as attachments and these attachments arrive in .eml format which I have had no problems opening and then replying to once opened when using any WM operating system before 6.1, but you guessed it I am having problems with this on any windows mobile running 6.1 that I use, the 'reply' and 'reply all' options are greyed out and the only option I get is 'forward' which is a bit of a pain as it means I then have to enter the address of the person I am sending the email to and change the subject so they dont think I am forwarding on an email.

[General Questions and Answers] jever2k:
Hello everybody,

i'm not new in custom roms, but i have a problem, i can't solve by myself:

I flashed an unlocked Mi5 to linageos 19.1 without problems.

I had the bad idea to relock the bootloader due to security reasons (fastboot oem lock).

Now the device is not booting anymore, i can just see the Mi-Logo flashing very shortly.

I can access fastboot, but can't boot into recovery.

I tried to unlock the device again, but the Mi Unlocker fails and prompts me to go to the developer options in Miui, which is clearly impossible.

Any chance to proceed from fastboot (fastboot oem unlock does not work...) ?

Thanks, Jan
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
congrats, you succesfully hard bricked your phone. please take it for a walk to the xiaomi service and pay for gettting it fixed. who told you it is a good idea to relock the bootloader with a custom rom installed ?
[General Questions and Answers] jever2k:
actually, i remember some banking apps complained about the locked bootloader. I thought i can lock/unlock it in fastboot mode, but looks like i was wrong.

I will give the MiFlash Tool a chance, but i have not much hope...

@Fytdyh: do you think, Xiaomi Service can fix it ?
[General Questions and Answers] Tawsif999:
Make sure if your bootloader is really locked or not using fastboot command

fastboot oem device-info

OR,

fastboot getvar unlocked

If it's not locked, you can simply flash your stock rom using flash tool available for mi. Before downloading a rom from internet, take note of your device info using fastboot command ,

fastboot getvar all

And if bootloader is really locked, you have to flash stock rom from EDL mode. You may have to remove back cover to turn on EDL mode. Your device has snapdragon chipset (Plus point). Watch tutorials about xiaomi edl rom flash - snapdragon. You can go to service centre. If they tell you that you have to replace motherboard, don't be agree. Tell them to flash rom using EDL mode.

looks like i am getting closer... located the two EDL points to short during PC connection, installed the Qualcomm serial driver. For a second i see the device appearing as COM6 but then it disappears again and is not availiable anymore.

[General Questions and Answers] Tawsif999:
Try this to solve the issue.

If it doesn’t help, read this to boot properly into edl
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flash stock recovery for your device via fastboot, then you should be able to boot into recovery or flash a stock system.img or your full stock firmware for your device, then unlock the bootloader(fastboot oem unlock) then flash TWRP and LineageOS again.
[General Questions and Answers] Tawsif999:
But he mentioned, bootloader fails to unlock. Actually it's hard brick(Even though he can boot into fastboot,the bootloader is locked. So nothing to do with fastboot).Without unlocked bootloader, flashing something from fastboot will hard brick his device completely (Will not be able to boot into fastboot). Or flashing will be denied☹️
[General Questions and Answers] jever2k:
OK, next level reached. The phone is connected to the com-port and the correct driver is displayed.

The whole procedure is a bit unstable, i need to connect the phone several times, to get a stable EDL mode.

The Xiaomi Flasher recognizes the phone, but flashing does not succeed. Sometimes it's not able to receive a kind of Hello message, sometimes it displays "object reference not set to an instance of an object".

I also downloaded the QPST flasher, but have no plan, how to use it.

I'll keep on trying!

Thanks to all, who helped me to reach this point!
[General Questions and Answers] Tawsif999:
I found something new by watching this video. Maybe you don't understand hindi(India is our relative country, so I do).

Lemme explain,

This guy's xiaomi k20 pro phone hard bricked with a locked bootloader. He tried a lot to repair it(by deep flash or something idk). But everything failed. At last he came to this step of EDL mode. But xiaomi Edl mode flash requires an "AUTHORIZED MI ACCOUNT" . Xiaomi people pay to get authorized account license that normal users don't have. So the guy contacted with them on a telegram page called "Mod Edit: Name Removed" . They told him that they will repair his phone via teamviewer. All he had to do is pay some $ & connect phone in edl mode. Rest of the things were done by them. And his phone repaired successfully! (Watch the video from 4:00)

So In his video, he is telling to go to that page & contact with "Mod Edit: Name Removed" there. They take 20-25$ (depends on device). If you tell them you're from Mod Edit: Name Removed's video, they will give some discount
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, I jumped the gun and posted before seeing all the replies in the thread describing their whole scenario, should've known better.

They obviously need a hardware approach, i.e. JTAG/RIFF/Octoplus or replace motherboard.
[General Questions and Answers] jever2k:
Thanks for research!

Meanwhile, i stopped using Windows due to all the caveats and switched to reliable Debian Linux on a different machine.

Again it takes 10 attempts to get into EDL Mode.

I used qdl (Qualcomm downloader for Linux) with all the firehose, raw and patch .xmls

sudo ./qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf partition.xml rawprogram0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml

Output looked like some stuff was written, at the end i receive:

qdl: failed to write: Connection timed out

However, the phone is now dead as can be without fastboot working any more.

Maybe i'll give it another try, or get a used Mainboard...

Best regards, Jan
[General Questions and Answers] Tawsif999:
That's expensive. Anyway, it will be better if you don’t waste time on this. Just go for 3rd party help(From that official telegram channel or service centre). That will cost less
[General Questions and Answers] jever2k:
Thanks Tawsif for the good hints and links.

I don't really depend on the phone, so i will keep trying.

It's not wasted time, it's mainly learning new stuff and improving skills.

I believe, i'm not too far away and if it works, it's the best satisfaction.

If not, i bricked an old Mi 5.

All the best,

I wish to fully backup a list of apps (including their private data) to restore them all quickly on a new ROM after a clean-flash.

In the past I could use `adb backup` for this, but since Android 12, they deprecated this command (it'll be removed soon) and this command is no longer able to backup the app's private data.

Is there anything else I can use, on a rooted device?

I would prefer using a command from command line, rather than an App: this way I can save and paste the list of apps to backup, instead of having to select N apps one by one in a GUI every time.

Sorry to be a bit off topic, but I am surprised that you were able to even use that command

When I tried to use the command (yes, I tried on all my Android devices)it does not do anything and no dialog box shows up at all.

All apps I use have their own backup functions, Google backs up photos automatically, office backs up to onedrive, bookmarks back up to Google etc. and I have not run into a scenario that I have to back up any app data.

Would you like to share what type of data specifically that you want to backup? Maybe I can think of a workaround.
