how to instant unlock bootloader redmi note 11e 5g i try tft module but it didnt work only show dm verity error but no t unlock the bootloader
[Touch Pro CDMA] rdhose:
Ok I am trying to find a way to turn off the Mail Icon and SMS icon that show up on the top bar when either of these types of messages come in. Now I did find two ways to do this, but that also turns off the notification sound. Details below.

The one I found to turn off the SMS was:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings - SMSAvailable DWORD=0

The one I found to turn off the email was:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\

{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} - Options DWORD=536870912 (decimal)

When I would either get a SMS or Email, the notification light would flash, and on TF3D It would show the number count of new messages without the redundant icon in the tray showing too. I thought GREAT! But then I tested it a few times even though I though it was working was no alert sound.

Basically what I am trying to do is keep the same functionality but without the extra icons in the tray. I do not know why I need both a new email/sms count with the TF3D as well as the same notification in the tray.

Anyone out there have any ideas, or clues????
[Touch Pro CDMA] theravenwarz:
As far as i know when you change the value in the reg to "536870912 (decimal)" for email notifications, that your are actually disabling notifications altogether for that function. Meaning that i dont think you can disable the icon without also disabling the the sound.

I feel you on the whole 2 notifications thing being kind of redundant. This has also bothered me for some time now.

My olny thought would be to maybe replace the icon with a blank icon but i dont know maybe somebody else has a better idea
[Touch Pro CDMA] rdhose:
OK this might sound stupid... How does one replace those icons? I have thought of that as well. But I have not seen a jpg, gif, png of any sort on this device of those icons?

I can make the icons easy once I know the process to replace them. Anyone able to assist in that process?
[Touch Pro CDMA] theravenwarz:
The icons are stored in dll files, so you cant just replace them with another icon real easily. I dont know too much about this, i still have some reading to do.

FInixNOver has a nice thread explaining it though.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=437307

I might try doing something this weekend on it but im busy the rest of today. I think post #5 on that thread is were the SMS and Email icons are discussed.
[Touch Pro CDMA] rdhose:
Taking a look at it now... I just hope it is not too complicated......
[Touch Pro CDMA] del4:
Thanks for this, as I was looking for a way to disable the email taskbar notification and this seems to be working fine. :D

While I would also like to disable the SMS taskbar notification, that one's not as critical to me right now. Seems like there should be a way to separate out the taskbar notification from the others. After all, sound and led notifications are broken out separately, why not the taskbar notification? As usual, something that should have been added into WM long ago but still hasn't been...
[Touch Pro CDMA] :
Did someone manage to fix the issue? I have the same need as rdhose.

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
There was a time when apps like Plex, Kodi, etc. were very attractive to provide a great multimedia experience at home. People would download movies, TV series/ shows, etc. using Torrents, manually edit the tags, and save them to their NAS boxes.

A media server would then present all the info in a very attractive manner that would be pleasing to the eye. They would even download missing information or correct incorrect tags. The one problem with this was when these servers would go beserk when updating content.

At one point, I realised these servers are of little to no use to me. If I need to watch something, I'll browse to the file (I would keep my files well organized) and simply play it. So I stopped using them.

Things are changing now.

1. Internet data is becoming increasingly cheap and available 24x7.

2. Music and video streaming services are rising and are available at very reasonable prices. More importantly, they offer plenty of additional benefits:

They make content available legally.

The content is available in very good quality.

New content is available shortly after they are released. No need to wait for weeks or months.

Their database is far more accurate with information about each media.

Users don't have to worry about losing their files (because of a hardware failure, system getting infected/ hacked, etc.) or upgrading their hardware.

Going forward, I think local media servers like Plex, Kodi, etc. would disappear due to no consumer interest, and people would use NAS primarily to store their own content (such as camera roll) due to privacy concerns.

Even NAS boxes would become a thing of the past as a simple computer with a large storage attached to it would be far more convenient to operate as the software that runs on NAS boxes are often closed/ locked and not very versatile as a normal computer.

How long before these products become a thing of the past?
[General Questions and Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The only way home servers will die out is if streaming services have access to every piece of music or film ever made. Example: my personal music collection contains quite a bit of content not available on any streaming service. To play these files remotely I need a server.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Very niche case. How much storage does such content (those that are not available) take in your case? Do you really need a NAS or a media server just for that?
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Plex is bigger than it ever was before.

The issue with streaming services is that they've followed the same route as cable did back in the day.

People got tired of ads on free TV. Cable companies came along and said "Pay us a subscription, and watch what you want without ads!"

Then people got tired of ads on cable. The cable companies said "You can buy access to premium channels for ad-free content."

Then people got tired of ads on premium channels. Streaming services said "Pay us a subscription and watch whatever you want as much as you want ad free!"

Then people got tired of ads on streaming services. The streaming services said "Pay us extra for premium access and ad-free content."

And so it goes. There comes a point when streaming just isn't worth it anymore. I have a 4TB Plex server at home with around 2,000 movies and several dozen shows, soon to be upgraded to to 8 or 12TB. Never mind how I acquired all that media, point is I don't have to deal with subscription services being turned into cash cows by greedy marketers.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
How often do you watch something again? I would say less than 1% of what you have saved in your own hardware would be content that would be watched a second time.

When we complain about subscriptions, we completely forget how much we pay for the hardware that we invest in (because this is something we do once in a few years or so) to locally save files, and also money spent in running and protecting them. If you do the math, you would often see that there is no real savings by having content locally, and more so if you take into account the effort required for upkeep of data.

Companies offering subscription services have to make money, so as long as their services are reasonably priced, they are the future as we save a lot of time and headache in not having to acquire and maintain content.
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
They already figured that cost when they initially priced their services. It was more than enough to cover their hardware back end. They didn't need advertiser revenue, nor did they need to charge people more for ads; they're only doing it to maximize their profits.

I watch plenty of things more than once, and I'm going to continue to expand my NAS because to me that's money better spent than paying for a subscription service. Plus, I get to curate what content is on my own media server; this is especially important to me as a soon to be father, because I don't want my daughter watching the garbage that most streaming services consider "child friendly".
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I see far far less movies these days compared to a few years earlier. Never been into watching TV shows either. So we see things from different perspectives.

Congratulations! 😍😍

This is the new challenge of this generation. There is indeed a lot of garbage that we need to shield children from. A very big challenge indeed.
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Thanks

Absolutely. Most of the stuff touted as "child friendly" by the mainstream providers isn't even stuff I would watch. Can't really get into the details because our site host is paranoid about controversial topics but I think you get the point.

Maybe it's time to go old school and see if I can find Veggie Tales on DVD...
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
The ease of smartphone availability and access to content online is indeed something to worry about. Children become smarter than parents much before they realise. The most effective way to keep them away from it would be to keep them busy the whole day with some activity under someone's watchful eyes. This is something the previous generation did not have to deal with.

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:

[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Your probably right about this for movies and music.

Where you're dead wrong is library book borrowing with OverDrive/Libby.

There's no way to even get the year of publication.

"The Great Gatsby"? 2003. Hmm, probably the year the ebook came out.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Do people use media servers for books too? 😃
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Mmm, kind of.

I keep all my books organized on my desktop and sync them to all my Androids and ereaders.

But I was more speaking of the willingness to codify metadata.

Even gutenberg.org can't tell me the year that "The Great Gatsby" was written.

Spotify will tell me that "The Lord is Listenin' to Ya, Hallelujah" was released in 1982.

But it won't tell you that Michael Mantler played trumpet on it.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
That's probably because there is usually just one information that people look for in a book: the author.

But for a music or a movie, there is a whole lot of additional information that people are interested in: the actors, director, producer, music, lyricist, ratings, performance at box office, budget, etc.

There is a lot of work required to put all information together for each movie and music. A streaming service takes care of that, and you don't need terrabytes of storage to worry about in case of books.

As with some information missing, may be it isn't something the majority users would look forward to.

The point of OP is this:

People are not saving nearly as much as they think they do by maintaining their own servers in place of an online streaming service. Maintaining own server means substantial investment in hardware every few years, costs of running it, keeping it safe, keeping one or more backups, etc. Plus the time required in managing it.

All these add up to an amount that can well be more than what we pay monthly/ annually to a streaming service whose economies of scale allow them to price it reasonably.

I thought of buying an old Pixel (5 or before) to avoid upgrading my Google One subscription. But when I did some math, I found out that there isn't much savings in it, if at all. The annual subscription that I pay today and what I'll be paying in future (including upgrades) isn't all that expensive than buying a 3 year old device today which can be expected to last for the next 7 or 8 years only. I have done the analysis here.

This is a very similar calculation. The only consideration for people going forward will be to use these for privacy reasons, such as saving their camera roll, screenshots, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Not a niche case at all, and quite a bit more common than you think. As for my music, 95% of it is in FLAC, which requires more space than a MP3. But I also have two binders full of DVDs - I never had a blu ray player - that I haven't yet digitized. Who knows how much space that would take?
[General Questions and Answers] Stephen:
I recently (within the last month) just got a Synonlogy NAS ds420+ got 2x 16tb drives and 2x 4tb drives. I just installed plex and got the lifetime pass. I have all my old movies on it. I love being able to start watching something in my TV in the living room, then moving to my kitchen, (Both are Sony A90k 48" Oled's). Even can continue watching something on my Amazon Echo show 15 in the bedroom! The big thing for me was being able to start watching on one device, then picking up where I left off on another device. Previously I had a USB drive plugged into the back of the TV, but that was a pain.

Plus I have content on it I actually like. I have amazon prime and netflix, but barely watch anything on them. I am also that person who likes to watch stuff again every once in a while.

Plus I setup my NAS to file sync my pictures and documents between my desktop PC and laptop. I am even thinking of upgrading them from 11 home to 11 pro. From there I can set the NAS up as a domain controller, DNS server, DHCP server etc. Have a full blown network in the house. I am toying with the idea of doing it natively with the available applications on the NAS, or by running a windows server 2022 VM and doing it that way.
[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
Simple NAS boxes are just external drives with a network connection.

When you focus on specific NAS boxes with a management plane, virtualization, and other features like web server, database etc. then you have to ask yourself why you just use this thing to throw your music and movies on that.

You can use such "NAS boxes" for hosting container virtualization to run apps, host own web services, calendar, private phone books, wifi controllers, pi-hole, and much more.

Sure, you can use it just to store files, and yes, those files might also be stored in a public cloud or streamed from a hosting service. But with a synology, qnap etc. there are a lot more ways possible.

-> You all use your smartphone to... Make phone calls but that's not the only feature it can provide, right? :D
[General Questions and Answers] Stephen:
Could not agree more. I was at first looking at a full blown server, running windows server 2022, but they are vastly expensive. I can do the same with my NAS as I could with a full blown server.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
'Cinema Halls' are losing their attraction and will probably disappear in the next decade. The rise of OTT platforms that make content available on fingertips, at the user's convenience, and most households having a good home entertainment system, make these the future.

Although I watch some comedy shows more than once (I don't think there is any other genre that people would watch more than once, with rare exceptions), I found that the amount of storage I have was simply wasted by files that I'm unlikely to watch again. And to preserve these, I was spending on electricity (since NAS runs 24x7) and investing in hardware every few years to keep them backed up and safe. The effort and the money was totally not worth it. Countdown has begun for domestic media servers.

You don't get the kind of control over NAS software that you do with any Desktop OS like Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. And you don't need a Windows Server for running a media server. A simple PC running on Windows 7 too will do a better job than a NAS system. The only advantage a NAS box offers is its compact size.
[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
There are more advantages like:

- low power consumption

- less security setup you have to deal with (compared to windows 7)

- easy to setup compared to setting up same functionality on windows 7

- not the same portfolio of apps and functions with some clicks can be offered by any desktop OS

- raid functionality(especially SHR) out of the box, also hassle free to setup

- Windows 7 is end of everything since 2020 ;)

- easy to setup SurveillanceStation which runs 24/7
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Agree with the above two important considerations.

Have to disagree here. If you're using a Desktop OS only for this purpose, there is not a whole lot to do for security.

And you have enormously more flexibility in choosing what you want to install.

I used Windows 7 only as an example. If someone is planning to setup today, it is best to invest in a Windows 11 system (as an ordinary user).

Hi,

Since there is an official LineageOS 20 ROM for S9(+) I wonder if there are other gapps replacements known to work in combination with LineageOS 20 on the S9+.

MindTheGapps is the default LOS recommendation which is working fine, but it doesn't upgrade some default legacy apps like gallery, phone, contacts (are all prehistory apps) and some are known to cause problems with other (newer) apps. I have examples, but this is not relevant to the question now.

Are there some good alternative gapps providers, which are known to work with LOS20 and is worth installing on S9(+)? Like flamegapps, nikgapps... Let's discuss.😁
