wvgafix wvga2 wvga3

Okay, I downloaded WVGA3.fix to my Xperia X1 into My documents and it looks to work better. But it looks like I should not open my keybord, in other words once you activate the application you should not change from portret to landscape / vertical to horizontal, is asking for problems, menu's stay sticking. Anyway my Tomtom Navigator 6 works OK on it. But if Tomtom is on, it looks like I cannot just have a look in my contacts or other applications, but that might as well be the case if the resolution would not be a problem I think. If TomTom is on the Windows icoon for the different menu's is not available. Telephone anyway works OK. It might be that the sound on bluetooth carkit is a bit worse because of using much memory? I have to try it further out. But having my Tomtom always with me and working is very fine! I am happy with it. Thanks.:)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Horrible Username:
So I just switched over from a Moto G5 to this phone. The first thing I did was install LineageOS 19.1 (after playing with the stock rom a bit). I gotta be honest… I'm not loving Android 12. Are there any still active Android 11 builds left? Everything I've looked at here are either 12 or 13 now.

Back on the G5, there were some folks that were posting updated Lineage builds with back ported patches (even back to L14). How hard is it to do that? I admit I'm clueless at actually building the rom, but if it is something that can be learnt fairly easily, I'd be game to try
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
There is Proton Rom

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-pixel-5-official-protonaosp-11.4188129/.

Alternatively, have you tried using AOSP MOD module?

https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-xposed-...ifications-for-aosp-based-android-12.4421743/

If you don't like the look of Android 12 or 13, perhaps the AOSP MOD module can change how it looks to your liking?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Horrible Username:
I might take a look at that module, but I've been avoiding anything xposed so far.

IMO A12 is just fuggly and that's the biggest reason I want to ditch it.

Ideally, I'd like to find a build of Lineage18.1 that has any/all security patches backported (or learn how to do it myself) Even better, find a way to get Oreo or Pie to work on the Pixel5
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I hated A12 for a long time. Didn't really get on it til A13 was out.

Between quick settings customization and repainter for color customization it really helps.

I'm able to use the stock Pixel ROM happily with AOSP MODs. I think that the quick settings look really nice with the help of AOSP MODs.

I'd give it a solid chance before saying it isn't for you, and if it isn't I think the best A11 ROM is crdroid.

Could be others but Crdroid A11 ROM was my ROM of choice before upgrading.

P5 came with A10 IIRC, so you may be able to get that going but anything below that I'd be surprised.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] wmdunn:
I actually felt the same about android 12, just didn't fit my eye. So about 6 months ago, I installed the latest stock version of android 11. I was originally planning to root the P5, and install flar's kernel, but everything has run so well, I've not gone any further. I still may install twrp, and give elemental a try ... we'll see. My advice, go for it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
@andybones hey how did you get your QS tiles to be bigger, like in your screenshot, and labels underneath the icons? Is it the premium feature of repainter app? I really like that style and look.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I love this feature, it's actually a wonderful mod in AOSP MODs "Move tile icons to the top"
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Hah funny story. I used Fox's Magisk Module Manager to download AOSP MOD but for some reason, the latest version in Fox app was v2.2, not v2.4. I was wondering why I didn't have that option until I realised that I was using the wrong version! 🤦‍♂️Anyway, updated to the latest v2.4. and now I see that option. Thanks for your reply, otherwise I would've never realised it.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] idkaname2:
Hello

So like the title says i can't get twrp to work in my G975F.

Steps a take and what goes wrong:

1. Flash stock firmware i got from samfw.

2. Check if OEM is greyed out.

3. Flash twrp-3.7.0_9-0-beyond2qlte.img.tar (ap) and vbmeta.tar (cp)

4. Flash fails.

5. After reboot i get a screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software."

I can just flash the stock firmware and the devices works perfect again, but i want TWRP to work and i can't get it to. What is the problem here?

I added a video with every step i take.

Thanks in advance!

It is a known limitation of Windows Mobile, the ringtones for Messages play till the end.

I recently facing battery drain by Gallery app.i have tried to find the issue but there is no background data usage and even i restricted the app. Anybody if you know the solution then let me know almost half battery is drained by gallery and i need to charge my device twice.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BMHater12:
The gallery was apparently scanning for a random corrupted image, delete it and the drain will go away
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] RGJ007:
Is there any app or way to find corrupted pictures and video because I have around 20000+pics so it's hard to find.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pinkballz:
Same problem that Xiaomi Gallery App drains Battery in Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro.

What did I do to fix it? (temporarily)

I just deleted all the data and cache from the gallery app and I also disabled background battery usage, background wifi and data usage and removed all permissions from gallery + i don't open the app anymore. (This is just a temporary solution, you will lose some of the features of the device but you can enable them later when you fix the corrupted file(s).

Until I find the corrupted file(s) I will not use the gallery app anymore because I lost half of my battery every day to the gallery app. You can try the method I used or a fix of the different steps I took and see what is suitable for your needs.

How can you fix it permanently? (maybe)

You can install MP4Fix or DiskDigger from Play Store (or download DiskDIgger official apk) and hope that it finds all the corrupted files. Another way to find the corrupted files is to compare all the files from the File Explorer and the Gallery app and see what is missing but it will take a long time and it may still show the corrupted file in the Gallery. Other more serious ways to fix it is by erasing all data (factory reset) or rooting your phone and using a custom rom but

be aware

you will

lose

all your data.

How to see the live battery drain on your device?

Also another app to see if your battery is being discharged very fast is Charge Meter (you can download from Play Store),

my device normally draws ~150-300mAh but when I have the gallery app open it draws ~900-1000mAh

Hope this helps!

(I am not a technician and whatever you do with your device I am not responsible. I am

not

affiliated with any of the apps that I have listed above you can use your own preference of apps if you want. Feel free to contact me if you want to exchange information or ask more questions.)

I got this issue too in a time from night to morning, and I woke up and saw that my battery was drained by Gallery, I also have the same device, and I tried to find some corrupted images by comparing Gallery app, and file manager, but i dont know if it worked. Im here to ask how do I find corrupted images with DiskDigger what do i do when i scan files with it??
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pinkballz:
DiskDigger is just a tool to help you clean your storage so it doesn't find corrupted files, it cleans traces of files you have previously deleted (in some cases files may have not been deleted right). If you want to find a corrupted video use MP4Fix that worked in my case. For corrupted photos you can search the Play Store for an app or search the internet for apps that you can later download the .apk file. I have not yet found an app for corrupted photos but when I do I will post an edit to my recommended solutions, if you find an app that works please share the information to the forum.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] corince:
I deleted some pics and videos from today via pc and I think issue went away, I just rebooted phone after I deleted them and for now theres no more Gallery in battery usage stats :)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pinkballz:
So happy to hear that, unfortunately in my phone it is still problematic so I just disabled the gallery app again.

May I ask where the pictures were located in your phone (ex. DCIM folder, Viber folder) and how they got there (ex. downloaded from chrome, camera, viber, instagram e.t.c)? And also if the pictures were showing just fine on the gallery and files apps and how many pictures did you delete.

If you like you can private message me to share this information, if you don't want no hard feelings I just want to help others and myself with the same problem. More information we share, we make it more helpful for others! 😁👍
[G1 Android Development] OminousPrime:
I'm sure someone has figured this out.

Where in the file system are the pictures I receive via mms saved?

I'm sure they have to be somewhere, there has to be a way to get them without the fwd to pc email / attach image to new email / email back to phone trick.

Bonus points, I deleted a thread - can I still find those images somewhere in the file system and restore them?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
I believe they're stored in a sqlite3 database, so it's not as easy as just copying a file.

It looks like this is the database:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

I don't have any mms/sms messages atm (recently wiped phone), so I don't have any data to look at in the database.

If you want, give me an IM or PM and I'll give you my cell number so you can send me an sms with a pic, so I can figure out how to extract it from the database :)
[G1 Android Development] haitiankid4lyf:
i dont think its in the database: its the same size no matter how many messages there is
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Found it. The text and attachments are saved in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/app_parts

They are stored in files named something like "PART_1228000671287", with no extension.

To see what type of files they are, you can run this command on the phone (assuming you have RC30 v1.2).

sqlite3 -header /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db "SELECT _data, ct FROM part;"

The first column is the full path to the file, and the 2nd column is the mime type of the file
[G1 Android Development] OminousPrime:
Awesome, good work Android Master JesusFreke.

too bad I have the factory RC30

(why oh why did I hit the update button that night?)*

but that's cool to know that they can be found.

Now we just need someone to apply that knowledge into making a SaveImage option appear in the MMS thread.

* on an unrelated note I need to put in another thread: when RC29 came I noticed the camera worked like 5 times better. I was even able to snap pics of the kids on the swings and they came out clear, when RC30 came it was back to blurriness as usual.
[G1 Android Development] dcman008:
Would it be possible to write a program that would automatically extract the imgs/vids from that path and put them on the sd card with the correct file extension?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Sure. It would certainly be possible for rooted phones. I'm not sure for non-rooted phones.
[G1 Android Development] dcman008:

Guess i should get off my butt and start messing around with some code.

[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
I think it would be possible for rooted as well. Can't applications have message privys so they can read messages? if they can read them can't they save the data?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] eg1122:
Its a simple edit. I've had it in my mod for years but Android 13 on pixel devices does not like being edited. Any edit I've made to it causes a crash. Other themers have had the same experienced, hence why the Pixel 7 and 6 (on A13) don't have any themes available.

For OnePlus 10 Pro only:​

@SingaporeAirlines,

That's all very well and good but again if you read the part of the T&C's i copied you will see until they take payment off your debit or credit card there is no contract and then can back out.

It will be interesting to see if anyone actually manages to get their phone or not as it all seems alright until they try and take payment and that's when it seems to fail. But good luck to all that have tried.
