[Realme 3 Pro Questions & Answers] samarjot:
My realme 3 pro also had a very weird problem, I was using Google Meet and the front camera suddenly stopped working, that was on Unlocked Realme UI 2.0 (A11).

Since then I've tried a lot of ROMs (PixelBlaster, CrDroid) but still front camera is not working, any suggestions?
[Realme 3 Pro Questions & Answers] samarjot:
I also tried flashing other ROMs including Lineage OS 18.1/19.1, EvolutionX 5.9/6.0/7.0, Havoc OS 3.9, Pixel Blaster 6.0.

Then I went to service center believing that my front camera needs to be replaced. But even new front camera was not working. He even tried to replace back camera setup, but nothing worked.

If anybody has any idea or solution, please reply.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
If you are an app/ software developer, here are three very important UI related tips for you:

1. Design for least number of taps: Users should be able to access/ use a feature with the least number of taps. I often find that frequently used parts of an app require one or two additional taps because of where the feature has been located. This is inconvenient and avoidable.

2. One-handed use: UI should be such that the app should be usable with one hand. Make use of bottom bar instead of top bar.

3. Use Filters (including Search): Filters are the most efficient way of organizing and finding things, without having to move things around. Implement it wherever possible.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Spot on with the multiple taps and search.

I never get use to using a bottom nav bar though like in the Samsung browser.

Lol, I gave up one handed use when I got the N10+🤣 I want that extra display real estate so it's a fair tradeoff for me. That long display means the top of the display is more easily in my view than the bottom.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
When Google Search Bar was launched, all launchers would place them on top of the screen. Later, that was moved towards the bottom and I don't think anyone places the search bar on top any more. On my Homescreen with Nova Launcher, it is right below the dock, which is very convenient. It is only a matter of getting used to the new layout.

Bottom bar is even more required today because all phones now have large screen sizes. If top of the display is more easily in your view, then you would need the bottom bar even more because the address bar is not what you want to keep looking at. You want to see content more than the address bar. I keep the address bar at the bottom wherever the option is available (e.g. Vivaldi browser).

Even though OneUI and other ROMs have a nice one-handed mode, I don't use it that often. If apps can make features accessible with buttons placed at the bottom than at the top, they would make the usability even more convenient. That combined with swipe gestures would make for a perfect UI design.

Take a loot at this:

View attachment 5780763

I'm inside a photo album. If I want to filter out just the videos, the menu is at the top:

View attachment 5780765

If that menu (action bar) was at the bottom, it would be more convenient to perform the desired action.

This is just one example. There are several other uses I come across every day where a bottom bar would be much more convenient than a top bar, and as mentioned before, if swipe gestures are combined with the bottom bar (e.g. for switching tabs), the design would be perfect and much better than current implementation in most apps.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
I definitely don't want a search bar on the bottom as I never use Google Assistant and peck everything out. Towards the bottom is out of my line of sight. I use Finder occasionally never the Google Search bar though. Just don't trust Google at all... they become less of an asset and more of a liability each year.

Control boxes towards the top right work well though.

View attachment 5780879
[General Topics] TheMystic:
The only advantage I see of having controls on the top of the phone is to force two handed use, which reduces the chances of dropping the phone and damaging it. 😂😂

Otherwise, it is just a matter of adjusting your line of sight and getting used to it. 😁
[General Topics] blackhawk:
I almost always use 2 hands with the N10+ and I'm right handed. Lefties want the reverse side of where I want the controls.

Regardless the user should have full control of placement.

View attachment 5780893

My current control layout. A whole different animal.

The green zone is the sweet spot and easiest to hit.

Red: DigiClock's hidden quad switch zones, 1&2 are used a lot.

Blue: One Handed Operation plus, zone A&B used the most. Controls I intentionally want to be harder to toggle are on the left.

Yellow: Clipboard Edge, somewhat out of the way to avoid false triggers, but still within easy reach.

View attachment 5780897View attachment 5780899

The N10+ does have a one handed mode but I never use it. Flip tops were the last phones I used like that.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
Navigation gestures take care of the problem of being right handed or left handed.

The Edge panel and One Hand Operation+ do make phone usage a lot more easier and quicker. Here's my setup:

View attachment 5780943

But all these are OS related. App Developers would do well if they can implement the suggestions made to make the experience within the app better.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
One Handed Operation plus is a great app with many options. You don't even want to know how many of the switch zones in it I'm using now🤣

It lacks one critical thing, backup capabilities.

Apps should allow export/import backup files to card, hdd, etc. That makes a huge difference and adds value to the app. I will deliberately choose an app that has over one that doesn't especially complex ones. I love ColorNote as it automatically will backup to my SD card or cloud if you wish among other features.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
I think many of the popular apps do have an option to backup and restore configurations. This is even more important for local apps that don't work off the cloud. I use Google Keep and Microsoft OneNote purely because they are cloud based, and allow me to access my notes on any device I want. This is also true of other types of apps. I have multiple devices running on different OS platforms, and so this becomes an essential criteria for me, as they make life much easier.
[General Topics] Skyica:
I agree these are important points. Another would be

4. Do not make settings activities with an endless list of checkboxes. This is tiring to look through and makes it hard to find the option you need. Instead, distribute the settings to dialog windows accessible from locations in the UI where they apply. Optimally such that the effect is immediately visible.

I think 1, 3, and 4 are implemented quite well in App Finder. 2 should not be important here since this is not an app one normally uses while doing other things.

That's true. A little bit of categorization or grouping can be helpful in such cases.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Livyatan92:
Hello.

I have a problem. I have an unlocked bootloader on my P9 lite mini. I want to lock it, because due to the unlocked bootloader I have problems with, among other things, charging the phone.

Can I lock the bootloader for free?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Flash service ROM (aka fullOTA aka dload) for your model and regional variant (!). Download

here . Search for SLA-L22 Selina for dual SIM, SLA-L02 Selina for single. Cxx is your region, must match with Cxx in your build number in "Settings - About phone".

Instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder.

This process wil erase all your data !
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Livyatan92:
hm. I guess there is no soft for my phone. The model is sla-l22c09b145
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
How badly you need B145?

You can flash B143, B144, imo.

Or, download B145 from paid sites (ca 16 euros).
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Livyatan92:
In Polish realities, 16 euros is quite a lot xD
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Livyatan92:
I checked carefully. It is not possible to purchase this software from Poland. There is no way to pay through a Polish bank.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
What is your current EMUI version under B145 build?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Livyatan92:
5.1.3
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Just a small question - B144 is the same version of EMUI, why doesn't it suit you?

You have one more option - rebrand to the global version SLA-L22 C432, there is a lot of firmware available for this region. Paid service ($10).

Look here
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Livyatan92:
Hm. I now have the soft but there is still a problem, my computer can't see the memory card.... wtf? On the phone the card works.

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] cividan:
Hi, I'm new here, I bricked my oneplus 7t (HD1900) by doing OTA upgrade and restored using msm tool and instruction from this forum and some youtube video. It wiped my phone and I was mad but at least it work now while i was stuck on the recovery boot. I compared to my wife phone and she has 57AA version while I now have 65AA which is very different in look and feel with the red cable club and all.

Q1 I downloaded the 57aa version but it come with a payload.bin file instead of the OPS file with msmdownload tool. How do I revert my phone to the 57AA version using this file?

Q2 how can I do a full backup of my phone to restore all app setting the way they were before if this happen again. I had a google cloud backup but it seem to only remember what I had installed and re-installed the app but I need to redo all configuration in all these app especially the microsoft authenticator app is problematic.

[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
You don't actually have to flash the OTA, you can just take the normal OTA to your phone.

But it's true that being able to OTA update requires ur device to not be rooted.

If you flashed ur rooted boot img directly in fastboot, I'm not 100% sure but you probably have to flash unrooted boot img first. Please check this with other guides tho.

The generally recommended method is that you dont flash rooted boot img in fastboot but instead boot it and then flash through magisk. This way magisk has a backup and you can refer to the following guide to install OTA updates:

How does the script work in Magisk?

- You need to install the archive via Magisk manager as a module. The script will tell you if you need to restart the device. Next, you need to launch the terminal and give it root rights with the command "su", Then enter the command "RO2RW" and the script will run, it will prepare an image of RW-super.img according to your choice and optionally backup the original super bak-super.img. These files will occupy the internal storage, so in order to get the space back you need to move them to a PC so that the modified image can be flashed via fastboot. Or you can simply flash it via TWRP as img super if the images are for recovery. Or

*After you got new super.img then you can uses CustomAP Making to flash with odin.

[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] alnosr:
Hey guys,

I installed LOS 19.1 and everything worked well so far but I wanted to revert to stock rom for something (big error), I tried my best but nothing worked.

- Oppo/realme flash tool on bootloader (from xda)

- Flash several different ozip with TWRP (always got treble zip error, and if i delete compatibility.zip = doesnt work either

- Flash ozip with orange recovery, doesnt work cant even load into stock recovery after flash

- flash with realme flash tool, idk why but it worked with global rom, but after a reboot = impossible to get to stock recovery (now it doesnt work btw)

- flash fastboot from xda through bootloader, doesnt work

Now with every of these I couldnt get to stock recovery not once. I think this is probably the issue, thats why I would need to flash stock recovery first but can't find it for CN version.

All of that I made a lot of flash zip/wipe data/system vendor etc

And I gave up, went back to LOS.

However, now I can't use my fingerprint... It just doesnt register when I put my finger on it. I tried to wipe everthing and make a fresh flash of LOS, but still the same.

Can anyone help please? Don't know what do to anymore...

Maybe one solution would be flash stock recovery I guess? Not sure, but as you already know, I can't it just doesnt work for some reason.

Thank ! Looking foward to your reply

Ok this i going to sound a bit odd.

I know the X1 is not really a phone, more of a mini computer with phone features built in.

Could anyone make a phone panel.

Basically it has all the simple features of a phone

Button to go to SMS

Button to go to Emails

Button to open dialpad

Button to open up contacts (only numbers not emails etc)

A clock

Thats it. I know the Xperia panel has stuff like this on it. But tbh its just too fidly, i want to use my fingers instead of the stylus.

Also, why the hell would I want to disable the phone...
