[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] project_2501:
The binaries for unlocking the bootloader were removed from what I understand. There may be a method (that I wouldn't recommend) where you enable OEM unlocking through developer settings and then rollback the device to 14.0.697 and then unlock the bootloader (remotely possible and not likely; I did run into the issue when running a beta build and thankfully the flag was still set to enabled). Hypothetically possible, but moreso likely to brick it because the flag for OEM unlocking enabled may not persist between builds. Difficulties will ensue returning it back to ZUI 15 from an incompatible state that could also corrupt partitions necessary for the device to boot into edl (thank the engineers behind rollback index). One brave (and stupid) enough to attempt this procedure should only proceed AFTER they back up every partition (QFIL partition manager) from their device with the ZUI 15 build so that it can be manually restored after (should the rollback and unlock prove unsuccessful).

Have you tried the command: fastboot oem reboot-edl from the loader menu or adb reboot edl through adb shell? Test to see if you can manage to access edl mode and make a backup of the partitions; then exit edl mode (hold power button for about 30 seconds), should be your first step. Every step thereafter outlined above comes with an increased risk of not being able to recover the device to it's previous state.

As for acquiring your unlock code, just use the first 8 characters; I've offered the solution here already for those having trouble with the unlock site - please be more thorough with your efforts and research on the sites threads.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Black4ng3L:
So when you rollback from ZUI 15.0.375 to ZUI 14.0.697 have a high risks? What would you recommend? After unlocking the bootloader should I stay ZUI 15.0.375 and use custom rom?

I successfully submitted an application for unlocking yesterday and waiting the sn.img file. The 2nd screenshot I provide for those who have a 10 digit serial number like me.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] project_2501:
Interesting that the Lenovo CS agent instructed that you should use the last 8 characters. You should be able to retrieve the sn.img as it should be generated by now. Insert/replace whatever you supplied for your serial number where the 8 X's are below and then load the following link: https://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/lenovoboot/XXXXXXXX/sn.img
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Black4ng3L:
Thanks for the info. I will try to unlock my bootloader after I manage to back up all of my files. I will update here if the unlocking is success because I saw a thread from the chinese forum that the serial number not match. I hope mine will be successful.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Black4ng3L:
Who have this file(s) of different custom rom? I can't register to 123pan.

trying to get my Chrimbo list together...

Would like an official extended battery a desk cradle a car cradle and a flip type or crystal case.

Now my problem is, if I go for the Extended battery, none of the cradles/cases will fit...

How do you get around this, is there any cradles/cases made to fit the extended battery, should I go for two standard batteries...a little confused, HELP

What is the Best launcher with cool transitions
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liggerz87:
Could try nova launcher lawn chair and ruthless those are the only ones I can think of I know there are more
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Nova, by far
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
Lawnchair beta 4. Everything else is just overhead imho.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Anyone running nova on the march update? I saw mention of a fix for animations or something similar when using 3rd party launchers. I wonder if they fixed the issue of not being able to use split screen with 3rd party launchers IF you have animations disabled.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iRhyiku:
None as third party launchers break animations with gestures
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mikebb00:
I've been using Nova since Android v5
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
I think you're hitting on what I said. The Nova developers replied in the nova thread here on XDA that this break is on the android side. Any third part launcher will not allow for split screen if animation duration scale is set to "off" or "0." This is ridiculous and google needs to fix it. There is a mention of fixes with third part launchers in the march update change log. I double it has to do with this specific issue, but I can hope.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
I was using Microsoft Launcher for quite some time. Then switched back to Nova. There really is no competition.

Anyone who is used to the triple launch actions (tap, swipe up and swipe down) for every icon on homescreen would find it very difficult to switch to another launcher. I like to keep my home screen clean and uncluttered, and this feature helps me launch 36 apps with just 2 rows of apps (6 in each), including the dock.

Ofcourse, there are so many other features. I can't imagine how people use stock launchers on their devices.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
How do you do this?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
There's a new beta version of Nova that works with gestures and animations etc. Running it myself at the moment
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
I second this. Can you provide screen shots or something?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
It is a feature available with Nova launcher when you long press on any app icon. You'll need the Prime license for swipe actions though.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
ah, i see. What are your swipe actions? It looks like the swipe actions are launcher/OS action like open quick settings though...so for example you have a swipe up action on photos set to open, say, your messaging app? That seems goofy. what's the utility of that? that'd be a lot of stuff to remember: swipe up on photos to open messaging, swipe right on photos to open facebook, swipe down on settings to open brace browser, etc.???

If the swipe actions did things internal to that app like a swipe up on photos opened a certain folder or that app's settings that might make sense. Maybe I'm not understanding correctly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
Swipe actions can do a whole lot of things such as launching an app, launching a shortcut provided by an app (such as launching a contact, conversation, composing an email, running a backup, etc.), launching a system activity, etc.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
ok, that makes more sense. thank you.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
I've been running this pretty much since it was released with Nova Google Companion and have had no issues.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
what version? I'm on the 8.0.3 beta. Turning animation duration scale means you can't use split screen in the app drawer. A nova developer addressed this issue here on XDA, confirmed it, and said it's an android issue. It will work if animations are enabled. Are yours enabled?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rag3.28:
I was on Nova for a long time. From the past couple of years I've been in Niagara Launcher. It fits my needs. Here is a screenshot of the launcher on my device
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] p51d007:
I've used Nova for years...won't use anything else. But, I set my animations to .5x in developer mode, so I don't see any "cool transitions".
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] chazall1:
I have been using Neo launcher sense launch. No issues and smooth- Many configs as well

Neo backup outstanding BU app. Better than non developed Titanium Bu

Neo Collective

Neo Collective has 5 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
I thought of posting about this one too. Heard nothing but good things. Still don't think I've ever seen any screenshots though. Can you share? What's so special about it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rslncv:
Niagara Launcher i guess
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RoughJigga:
I've jumped from Nova to Smart Launcher and I'm on it for more than half a year. First experience is... Hard. It's very different than most of launchers but I like it. It smooth, have a nice UI and configuration options.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] or965:
You can root with magisk on any miui 14 without using twrp.Just get the boot image from the rom,install magisk apk and patch the boot.img, reboot to fastboot mode ,open cmd and write "fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img" just replace boot.img with the name of your generated magisk boot. The boot image is located in different location according to the rom you are using .Normal miui recovery rom contain file that called payload.bin.You need to download this tool https://github.com/tobyxdd/android-ota-payload-extractor. Follow the instructions in the link and you will get the boot.img .If you using miui.eu rom ,you just need to extract the zip and you will see the boot.img. Also if you want to use Miui 14 global or EEA, you can use the fastboot rom that I created and the zip file contain the boot.img .You can get download link on this thread link https://xdaforums.com/t/fastboot-version-of-miui-14-eea-global-and-older-miui-13.4381953/ .
[Xiaomi Mi 11] martin132014:
ive use your method but my phone still gone to bootloop. im using eu rom currently.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] or965:
What did you do? I wrote several options.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] System23:
Hey Guys!!!

4 Android 13 we not use Magisk!!! We use Lygisk its a Version direct 4 Android 13 and works great!!!

you can choose witch File you would Patch Boot.img/Recovery.img!! So you can Boot with boot.img normaly into Rooted System!!! And when you Patch the Recovery.img and Flash this, you must start with the Button-Combo that starts Recovery-Mode, so its start the Rooted System, when you start it normaly not over Recovery-Mode the System is Not Rooted!!! Thats the Difference between the 2 Methods,and a Patched Recovery dont set you in Bootloop!!!

Lygisk APK ZIP
[Xiaomi Mi 11] martin132014:
Hi, sorry, but i bit confused about the method here. You mean to just patch either or both. This method is for fastboot or twrp. Sorry if im asking noob question.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] martin132014:
I use the method for eu that you posted. First i install magisk 25.2 and then i patch the rom boot.img. I boot to fastboot and flash the patch boot.img using the command. It flash successful then i reboot. But it still bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] martin132014:
And for context, im using Eu weekly rom, not stable and twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.2_A13-venus-skkk.img for recovery. The recovery im using in eu rom forum method for installation.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] System23:
All good say what you think!! not booth one of them boot.img or recovery.img!! you can flash zip via TWRP than you dont need other steps!!! you can install the Apk and Patch the Boot.img or recovery.img!!! than you can flash it in fastboot, twrp Image or twrp terminal!! choose your method
[Xiaomi Mi 11] System23:
and what your experience with that!!! Tell me why you like this!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 11] martin132014:
I guess i should post how I'm doing with the root situation. I guess i miss the part that you need to format the rom after installing new rom. And then do flash the boot.img steps. Now magisk is installed and no bootloop.

I on the other hand do format and flash rom. And continue the boot.img process. I guess that's why it doesn't work.

I'm in the process on restoring my data.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] System23:
ok a Tip to you!!! when you only Backup Data Partition you can restore it and all Contacts,SMS,Accounts,Apps are availibile again on new ROM!!!

Why you dont use the Magisk.zip and flash it via TWRP after Flash ROM!!! you can rename Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and flash it!! than you dont need other steps to Root!!! when it dosnt work use the recovery.img to Patch it and try this Method for Rooting, but dont forgett when ya do so you need to try the Buttons-Combo to start in Recovery to boot the System in Root and you have no Recovery-Mode at this Method!!! Also to use Recovery again you must Flash it again via Fastboot!!

And in TWRP use the WIPE Option to make a Factory Reset or WIPE a Single Partition, after some Flashing CROMS its needed to be WIPE the Data Partition!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 11] System23:
you can ask me what you would i share my Informations with ya!!! when iam not knowing iam googleing it out to find a solution!! the talk we have start are hope helpfully!! when ya have intresst we can stay in kontakt and make what we can, even its public 4 all or PM!!! PS i must not hide my Knowledge, but PM its OK too!!!

I've always been windows mobile user ever since i could remember, now faced with a possibility of getting g1 i was wondering(pehaprs a stuped question-but new to g1) if there is a ROM or a hack of some sort to completely replace android with windows mobile 6.1? G1 seems to be very nice hardware-wise but from what i read android is not for me, i use word daily, got used to opera browsing and so on
[G1 General] bhang:
it may not be for you...

there is no real app that compares with word, simple text editors so far but nuthin like word, we do have an opera mini browser port that seems nice I haven't played to much with it, ATM android isn't business ready IMOP, that said it wont be long before there will be super high power office type apps, as well as kick arse video games, or whatever the beauty of open source to me is this, Ive found if I want to to "ACTION A" with my open source platform "OSP 1" somebody else has an OSP1 and also wants to be able to complete ACTION A, and he or somebody else that can write code and has the same wants as the other OSP1 users and he make a way to do it...

this has yet to ever fail me inside the confines of what we call open source.

but there have been alot of tasks I wanted to do on my CLOSED SOURCE PLATFORM, CSP (aka, winblows) and never found a way to get it done despite finding other user who wanted to do the same task.

MS has SO FAR has had a pretty loose attitude as far as the WM products go, the fact that this place still exists is almost amazing, compared to the same type of site for say...XP so the WM does have some of the same I need it, so does he, so somebody will write an app, kinda thing but they used to let the site host roms (i dont think this is allowed here anymore, still) So it may change....

To wrap up my cafe & canabanoid induced ramble, the G1 may not be ready for ya yet but it will be in time, maybe hold on to your phone you have now and get the g1 when it has all the apps you need to function.

Or stick with win mobile Its not bad I used it on my WIZ for years and had alot of fun with different roms and such, but once you go G1 you never go back. ;)

But no as of now there is not a WM port for the G1(I think I just puked in my mouth a little bit as I typed that)

Please refer to this link, for further ciscussion on windows Mobile on a G1.

Have always wondered how the moon looks so good every single time with 100x !

Moon mode magic makes the media mad, but many more manipulated megapixels have their merit

- Marques.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CarlosLopezES:
Computational photography, it's widely known, Google SuperResZoom it's the same approach. All raw info it's developed in some way in every picture, every camera does. But the phones, does with more strength.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Be fun to give some focus patterns and see what it does...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Let's all be honest here...it's been over a 1 month since the phone was released...how many of us here have taken 28 photos of all faces of the moon? Forget the moon, how many of us here have been using the camera app exclusively more than other apps on the device? Your phone's battery history app should give all the top used apps over the week and possibly the month and I'm sure the camera won't even figure in the top ten for the majority of us. This whole moon photography will wane away after 2 months!

Computational photography has been in the business ever since Pixel 1. Although Google rules this field, over the years almost every android OEM has their own version of computational photography. This is why the same scene looks legitimately different on different phones. And, if anyone argues that iPhone has no computational photography, then they should be shot dead!

Let's all enjoy our devices for it is...controversies will always come and go! The fact is the S23U is a good product out of Samsung's floors in a long time!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
The essential part for me is that this can be deactivated (Scene optimizer), so you

can

benefit of AI but you are not forced to do so...

That a smartphone with its tiny lenses has to rely heavily on computational photography is no real news :)

And I never understood why this focus on moon shots has developed over the past (aside from the fact that its a readily available test object for high-zoom images) - while its impressive what a smartphone can do its still miles away from "real" moon photos which of course in return require much more equipment to accomplish this....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
A smartphone can take photos of the Moon of that far , that too so clearly!

- This sounds good and echoes well and so is a good selling point maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] krips2003:
We can say that some people have ample time in their life and they don't know what to do with that other than make fuss about how good investigating knowledge they possess than anyone else. Anyway, here's a 2 shot of Moon. The warmer times is from Pixel 6 Pro zoom lens from back March 2022. And the right one is from Galaxy S23U zoom lens.

Side note: people should simply enjoy taking pictures and not making fuss about how fake the pictures are. Most of the same professional photographers forget that they use 3rd party tools like Lightroom, Photoshop to make the photos look unrealistic than they actually shot ✌️🙏

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Not exactly I would say. A tech reviewer making users aware of what they are getting for their money is a good deed and consumers discussing about it is probably not a fuss. Tech enthusiasts have ample time for it ofcourse. 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
What makes me laugh is this is well documented, and most youtuber already made video about this on previous samsung and huawei phones....

Not because the s23 is new, that the topic is new....

damn influencers.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
S23U turned a rough paper cutout of a Moon picture into a real Moon🌝 that iPhone 14 Pro and Google Pixel 7 Pro did not. In RAW terms, it's simply a fake picture of the Moon.

Fast forward to 03:35
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
I don't know where have you been all this time but AI processing on photos have been there since 2019 probably. Didn't you always wondered why google pixel for 3 straight years were taking best photos with same camera sensor? They were way ahead of competition with their AI image processing that's why. That's the answer. Naturally all camera sensors are way to small for taking amazing photos in most scenarios that's where AI magic happens. Every phone does that
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Using a phone I took a picture of a rotten potato and astonishingly it looks like a fresh tomato when I checked.

There's nothing wrong in it and shoutout to the phone because it's Artificial Intelligence doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Does it see faces in the cat litter?🤣

How does it do with faces, the gold standard?

If it can do that NASA technology trick that be cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ssj100:
Not sure that's an accurate analogy though, although I understand you're just trying to make a point haha. But I think it may actually be misleading.

That analogy might be good if Samsung's moonshot resulted in an incredibly detailed picture of the sun, AND the actual reality/appearance of the moon was "rotten" (not sure what that would actually look like though haha).

Are there side by side pictures of the moon taken by DSLR cameras compared with Samsung's moonshots?

EDIT: interesting article on this from over 2-years ago when the first Samsung phone (S21 Ultra) was taking such moonshots: https://www.inverse.com/input/revie...hotos-investigation-super-resolution-analysis
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] linom:
I think the issue has been blown out of proportion all due to an idiot on reddit. Everyone knows its AI enhanced. Fake is what Huawei did a few years ago. Samsung has clearly described what it does in its support pages. These so-called YouTubers are half-assed smart talkers. Let's always remember good content & production value on YT does not equate to truth. And dare they say anything against the fruit logo. See them sweet talk their way when Crapple officially introduces such features.

Check out this tweet & his recent timeline from a professional photographer where he exposes all these so called experts:

Side note: I took early morning pics of the sun and the AI tried to render a sunspot (see top right in one of the pics below).

A good use of 10X and AI is when we zoom 100x and we can see how it tried to read the license plate of a car which is almost 400 mts away.

I don't think that's a sunspot. It could be the mercury planet. Much more clearly visible here. View attachment 5865033

Before we leave Moon to explore other celestial objects further away and beyond, I think we should ask another pressing question: is the Moon flat?

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Welcome to the smartphone world. AI is processing everything for almost 4years if not more.

For example see this screenshot about google pixel camera.

It's not fake, It's AI putting some details on top of real picture. That's not the same. Fake is when you put completely different picture on top of original. Come back to reality these small smartphones can't produce amazing photos in every scenario without AI.

These photos are still more real than Kardashians and similar plastic humans in our world :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Manufacturers' marketing does wonders and sits on top of human intelligence as well at times. 😶
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
The second part vid is what I wanted to know.

Yeah, he's right... it is creepy and deceitful.

They take out valuable features like the expandable storage and put in junkware like this.

Samsung is more hype than fact.

Did Scene Optimizer just make you miss that keeper?

Be careful with Scene Optimizer if it's on when scanning documents. It may be rewrite something important...

How does it interact with other modes like the make a gif feature? Is it auto disabled? It adds the the unpredictable behaviors of the cam, swell.

So when did Scene Optimizer go feral? Is it doing weird things to N10+ images? Yeap. It dates back to at least the N9. If it's a jpeg there's no way to recover the original image data.

I'm irate at Samsung in a whole new way now.
