[General Questions and Answers] wissamyamout:
Hi . Need your suggestions.

Currently we are developing an app that requires Deposits and Withdrawals using Crypto and Paypal in order for users to support other users (content creators which is user generated content) on the app.

I am getting mixed advice from developers telling me my app will get rejected if we do this and we should use coins and stuff. Is that true?

What would be the best approach?

Any feedback is appreciated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
My wife and I are awaiting our pixel 7 pro phones to arrive. I'd like to start the backup process and be prepared for as much of a seamless switch as possible.

She has a Galaxy note 8 and I have a rooted pixel 2xl. We will be backing up via the stock Google backup process. This gets 80%+ of what we need, but if there's a good way to backup and restore pics, messages, app data not covered under a Google backup, and more stuff I'm not thinking of I'd love to hear about it.

I've read that transferring data from the old phone to the new over the adapter and cord can make the new phone inexplicably have bad battery drain issues for a long time after the data transfer. Because of this it's recommended that over air backups be completed.

For my wife's stock Galaxy note 8 is a swift backup and restore via swfitbackup on her new p7p recommended? What are my options given I'm on a rooted phone? Is there any more thorough backup and restore I can do through swift backup, titanium backup, or other methods? The only times I've ever restored from Titanium backup it was incomplete and I was dissatisfied. I'm note sure what I did wrong.

My thread in general, but you could start with Post #7 - My personal advice for how to get your device back up and running as you had it before a factory reset

Have fun with your new phones when you get them!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Always start mostly fresh. When you restore the Google backup, edit the default options and remove settings and apps from the restore process and you should be fine but if you restore your full backup, you're probably going to have issues, especially for your wife that's not coming from a Pixel.

Its not just the cord but *any* backup that can restore things that muck up the phone, restoring settings in particular, but app data can be a problem too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Remove settings and apps? Did you mean app data? If I don't restore the apps there's really no point in a restore is there?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just want to point out that my wife and I have been restoring app data from Google's backup for 6+ years on (5? 6?) devices for each of us and have never had any problems. In two cases (only one for my wife), going to a Samsung device, and also once in each of our cases, going from a Samsung to Pixel.

Restore by cord I agree is a mistake. :) But just because Google's cloud restore works so much better and more complete.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
For the record, I used Swift Backup (and SMS Backup) yesterday to move my apps from my 4 XL to my 7 Pro (both rooted). It worked fine. Some apps asked me to sign in again but settings remained intact for the most part.

I'll see how things are in the coming days but so far, so good.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Sms backup is part of the Google backup isn't it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
Nah, I always use SMSBackupandRestore. This app has never let me down since the beginning of Android!

SMS Backup & Restore - Apps on Google Play

A simple app that backs up and restores SMS & MMS messages and call logs.

play.google.com
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, it is. I confirm I have texts in my Google Messages app going back to December, which I recall was when I factory reset my P6P by mistake by accidentally leaving the "-w" in the flash-all.bat, and I have never been too concerned with restoring SMS since I mainly use Google Voice (which keeps things forever no matter what), so whether I allow the cloud restore of SMS when setting up a device fresh is 50/50 for me. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Mod Edit: Quoted Post Deleted

SMS Backup and Restore is a 3rd party app designed to specifically backup and restore all your SMS text messages because in years past the default Google backup did not do this. I have used it many times myself. However, even though I recommend a fresh install to mitigate any potential bugs, you have stated that you have done several restores to new phones without incident. I also did a Google restore on my 7 Pro without incident AND all my texts came back automatically so it appears as if Google backup is now working properly. So go ahead and let the backup return. You "should" be OK. YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The restore would still copy over texts and call logs and such but you are correct, it would be largely a clean install. This has *always* been the recommendation when moving to a new phone. Clean slate = least amount of issues. Added bonus, you get rid of apps you don't even use anymore and get a more streamlined setup.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Cord or cloud shouldn't really matter as it should be the same settings and app data, just a faster restore with the cord and the copying of some files from storage. Not everyone has problems either but if you don't want to have to potentially set everything back up a second time, it's always good to start with a clean slate if you have the patience to do so.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
This post/topic makes me feel nostalgic....

It makes me sore for the days we could do nandroid TWRP backups (back in the days from the Pixel 2 XL, like the OP). I found, if tweaked right, those backups saved absolutely everything -- from wallpapers, icon placements, widgets, apps & settings, anything and everything! It was like a literal snapshot of the phone at the time of backup. I messed up my phone a bunch of times, and relied on those backups and would restore and would never miss a beat!

I used to swear by SMS Backup & Restore (from Droid 1 to Galaxy S5, I have texts still from 2012), but (please correct me if I'm wrong), it's not able to save MMS's and RCS (particularly & obviously, because it's totally different technology). I think it even states that in the app on its limitations...so that's something that should be considered when using that to back up -- that you may want to be sure that whatever backup method you use, it saves the MMS's (pictures, audio files, stickers, bitmoji's, etc.)....

I've found Swift is/does well enough. I could be wrong, but I don' t think it backups like Titanium though where you can have different versions and backups of the same app -- I haven't looked hard at the settings or backup, but I couldn't find a way to restore an app at different certain stages. I couldn't get the wallpaper (picture/image) to save correctly on Swift as well...But it is great at supported split apks and "extended media" like .obb files (for games I believe).... Using the phone transfer cord and Swift seems to be comparable as it seems both my messages stated to transfer 2GBs worth, while Swift compressed it to 500MB, it seemed to save the 10s of thousands of texts I have been carrying with me for a decade...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
All those texts have been migrated from your various texting apps to the Google messages app you use now? That'd be awesome to retain all those. I search for OLD stuff quote a bit, but it seems some stuff disappears.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
I second this. Been using this since the really really old days when it was 2 apps in the OG Android days. It can even auto backup to Google Drive everyday and restore from it just as easy.

If you have access to a computer, you could just copy everything and go through the folders bit by bit, or upload them somewhere(Google Photos, Dropbox, Mega, etc) temporarily and put them on your new device.

Whenever I clean flash my phone's, I restore text messages once in awhile but pretty much always start clean and download apps as I find the need for them rather than bulk downloading them all.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I used SMS Backup & Restore in its infancy back on my Droid 1 days (2012)...and had been migrating each backup after every upgrade up to the S5. I did have a lot of success with TWRP nandroid backups, but I don't think I successfully used it to migrate to a phone upgrade; also it's not an option to the Pixel 7 anyways. Then when I transferred to the Pixel 2 from the S5, I found the transfer tool (via cord) transferred everything perfectly. I went from that to the Pixel 5 to the Pixel 7 now, and it seemed to transfer everything.

It seems the app now makes sure to backup MMS pictures and audio and other media, which it wasn't stable or fully capable back then (which is why I had stopped backing my texts up using it). But a lot of people are swearing by it and that was my go-to back in the day, so I'm sure it's a great tool for transferring texts.

I always used Verizon Messages and it used to transfer well enough, except for this time -- I doubt you use this app, not many do. Verizon Messages was able to detect all the texts, but it couldn't migrate/detect the MMS messages transferred. Again, I doubt you (or anyone) uses the app, but if you do, know that it is lacking or buggy.

I liked to use it though because it supposedly stores texts for 3 months on their server, they'll accept texts even if the device can't receive signal, and will update/resend it when the device can connect, and I kinda liked their interface and how you can apply colors to conversation bubbles...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sumfahg:
I'm having trouble following the official instructions for installing the open beta for OOS13 onto me LE2125. I downloaded the apk through the link in the instructions, but curiously it had a .zip extension after the .apk extension. I tried deleting the zip extension, and installing the file as I would any other apk, but the app did not match the description in the instructions. First, it was called "MyApplication2," and second, the interface was different. There's no gear icon in the upper right, just a single button:

View attachment 5747509

When I tap the button, and select the installation file, the app immediately crashes. Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what, and from past experience I thought XDA would be more helpful than OP tech support. Any suggestions?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] viktak:
I can't be certain about this process becuase I don't have OOS on my phone, but the installation instruction you linked talks about a ZIP file, rather than an APK:

In step 4 it tells you how to handle/what to do with it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] kodayoda713:
Normally, I have updated through the Oxygen Updater app and not how the official instructions tell you to. Seems to be a lot easier and they have easy to follow instructions for updating locally, as well as their own version of that- using official update files, of course.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sumfahg:
Thank you, Oxygen Updater is working better than the official APK.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
I would also like to know since it's a beta if there would be a different procedure with updating. I'm rooted on open beta 1 and I can simply install ob2 with oxygen updater or system update then just flash magisk modified boot, correct?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mustangtim49:
That's the problem, I had to unroot, then it started working.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Arcide:
Unroot before updating?
[Realme GT Neo 2] riftrn:
Can't select anything with the power button, can't force reset it with holding the power button, and I don't know what to do.
[Realme GT Neo 2] Cyanide_zh:
you'd better not lock the bootloader. If your device is not totally stock this will brick your device. EDL is the only way to restore then.
[Realme GT Neo 2] riftrn:
I just installed the latest RUI before this happened, also what is EDL?
[Realme GT Neo 2] riftrn:
Ok, it somehow solved it's self after a few hours, it stopped moving and allowed me to select, lol.
[Realme GT Neo 2] rafaelpcosta:
you can force shutdown by pressing vol up + power button for a while until screen goes black or just keep pressing if you want to reboot

Hello,

I am looking for the manila file that contains the dutch translation of the calendar text. Right now I see IDS_TOMORROW on the touchflow3d calendar while it should say "Morgen". I have found a thread about the german manila file, but not the dutch one. Does anyone know which file I need to edit to add this translation?

Edit: ok, found the file and fixed the translation. You need to add the following:

<trans-unit id="IDS_TOMORROW">

<source>Morgen</source>

</trans-unit>

to the file /windows/7a56f756_manila

David
[Touch HD General] Bart101:
I also have the IDS_TOMORROW problem but I cant file the "7a56f756_manila" file in the "file /windows/" folder.

Is it the wrong file?
[Touch HD General] david-v:
Nope, it is the right one. Are you using Resco explorer? you might have Resco set to hide hidden or rom files. Change that in the settings of resco and you will see the file.

David
[Touch HD General] Bart101:
What is the right way to change the file?

I can't get it opened...:confused:

thanks
[Touch HD General] HDuser:
Why dont you just change the language of the TFLO3d.

I run a german rom and an English tflo3d

Dimond TF3D Config did that for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405749

I will add it to wiki
[Touch HD General] Bart101:
Hi,

My TF3D is already Dutch, but for calendar appointments for tomorrow (in Dutch, tomorrow = "morgen"), it displays IDS_TOMORROW.
[Touch HD General] david-v:
It took me a while to get it done as well. The best way to do it is to get the file on your desktop system, edit it, and then replace the original. You will probably have to do that through the SD. First copy the file to the SD card, then drag it to your desktop. Edit it. Save it back to SD card and then using resco file explorer replace the original file.

If you can't get it done, let me know, I can upload my manila file so you can replace the original one.

David
[Touch HD General] Bart101:
thanks a lot !

it worked :cool:

Hello Fellows,

After many years with oneplus, i jump now with the new pixel 7pro.

So i'am very disapointed with one thing ! there is no possibilities to lock some app !

I use the smart launcher pro to hide and lock all apps, but one by one it's impossible !

I don't want to use another app from the store, so what's your solution and advise ?

Thanks a lot

Can anybody please tell me what happened to the Google search bar (see screenshot)? Anyone else got this problem?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
You need to.opwn a new thread for this ? Entire xda get f*cked by opening new useless threads like this.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] mielnoir:
What "useless"? Searching for a useful answer and not for such a useless comment! Tried to find something in the web. Couldn't find anything regarding my request. Since my last device restart the Google search looks like in my screenshot. Square, simple and without the "G" logo and microphone.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Then blaim google for that or maybe update tje google app or install another launcher.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] mielnoir:
Don't wanna blaim anything nor anyone. I just wanna know if it is normal and if someone else's got the same look of the search bar. Is it kind of new design or is it an ui failure on Sony devices. That's all. Hope some useful answers will follow!?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
The google searchbar is by google made and nothing related to Sony, so probarly the fault by google
[Sony Xperia 1 III] mielnoir:
Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] hotcakes_shinku:
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.

(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] mielnoir:
Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.

Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.

I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange

I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...

[Sony Xperia 1 III] mielnoir:
FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
[Samsung Gear S] Myrmeko:
This is all based on personal opinions and experiences. I mean no offense to any of the developers. None of this should be taken as an insult, because it's not intended to be.

Tizen:

- Stock: It's pretty much as you'd expect. Mostly useless without a phone, especially now when most services have stopped working. Installing .wgt files only works through SDB. There are a few useful ones, like a file manager, a pdf viewer, some games, Opera and a few others. Weather doesn't seem to be working anymore, neither does Here Maps. You also can't add contacts, which is quite frustrating, even in "standalone mode".' I've never tried to install a .tpk file, but i doubt it works, since nobody ever mentioned it working in all these years. Battery live never was good on this, like, in general. Barely holds a day.

- Standalone Tizen Rooted: I have never tested it. Afaik you can add and remove contacts. I don't know much more about it. The download link was removed. (If anyone has a link, please post it in the replies for archival purposes.)

Android 5.1.1:

- BlueMix: I've just installed it and at the first glance it's pretty good. It runs overall nice, has a different boot animation and bluetooth actually works (wireless headphones, sending and receiving files, connecting to phones and computers). It's generally fast but it has a rather weird lag when pulling down the quick pannel IF there is a bluetooth headset connected. There are way too many useless icons on the quick pannel also. Battery life is just as bad as on Tizen, as in if you're actually doing something, literally anything on it, you can see the percentage go down. But it's advertised as having better battery life than CM12.1, so idk. Could be better. Sound is fine, internet is fine, everything seems overall fine so far. Nothing to complain, except for the navbar not having the "hide" button (can't be added either), so i'll most likely install Ultimate Dynamic Navbar in the future and disable the stock navbar.

- CM12.1: I have never tested it. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.

Android 6.0.1:

- Android Wear: I have never tested it. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.

Kernels:

- Bluemix (06.07.2016): As i said above, everything seems to be fine. Smooth performance, whatever battery life. Cannot charge through the external battery from inside the cradle, only works plugged into a wall socket, but "x minutes until full" works perfectly, so that's a plus.

- CM12.1 (15.07.2016 "Broken Bluetooth-Vibration"): Haven't tested it and i don't think i will either.

- Custom (02.04.2018): Supposedly fixes everything, but haven't tested it yet. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.
[Samsung Gear S] mhd 12:
well i have most of the custom versions of android 5.1 and the kernels files , for the android 6 too , tbh still the most stable version is bluemix , for the rooted stand alone version i didn't find it either no new links no new developpement :/ except am struggling with the battery barely holds a day i don't know how people managed to make it last more than six hours , if u have the bluemix kernel share it with me , i would share all the roms i have with u
[Samsung Gear S] mhd 12:
i think the battery problem is bcz of kernel , kind of i have to find a stable one , i have two versions of kernel but none of them are good tbh since the battery just drop so fast , tried the cm12 kernel , the battery seems to be 100% then just drop to 40% or 5% or something like that in seconds
