Photo Tools: compress, resize - Apps on Google Play

The all-in-one tool app for your images. Compress, crop, resize, and much more.

play.google.com

For a pretty long time, I have been looking for an app or service that can show me the exact hex code for a colour or shade in a picture. I had found an online service imagecolorpicker that does a good job.

But having an app that would do this offline would be great for privacy.

Finally found Photo Tools. It does exactly that, and works offline! The following two features (among many others) are pretty unique to this app. Check it out.

• Color picker tool:

This tool helps pick a color from an image. This can be used by graphic designers to extract color from the image and use it in their art. The user can get to know about the color name along with the color hex code.

• Extract colors tool:

This tool helps to extract the majority of colors from the image. Colors can be easily copied to the clipboard by tapping on it. You then use that color to draw or paint in other apps.

You'll find more such unique apps here:

A memory space wasting application "Photo Tools: compress, resize". Sample 4.2 MB JPEG file converts to 10.3 MB WEBP.
[Android General] TheMystic:
I have seen similar problems with other apps too. For example, if I crop an image, the cropped image file is significantly larger than the original image.

I didn't try the other tools in this app, but the two features I highlighted are definitely unique, and are the reason why I installed this app (and also made this post).

If you like to know the hex code of a particular colour or shade you see in an image, these tools are extremely handy in letting you know the exact colour code. I use them for customising the colours in my phone.
[Android General] ze7zez:
In this case, the application probably uses the lossless writing option.

HI, my realme 8 pro profile is shown in the picture. Is it rootable? If yes, is there any step by step guides I can follow? I have try deep testing but it said my device is not support.

If deep testing is not supported, you cannot unlock the bootloader and hence cannot root your device.

Hi,

I have a Xiaomi note 9 pro global version , i forgot screen lock password, so I can't enable USB debugging.

i've seen that unlocking the bootloader will wipe data., so how can i unlock without data loss ( no wipe data ).

Thank very much
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] arfooux:
Try unlock bootloader then install twrp

After it you can delete the lockscreen data

thank you for your response but unlocking bootloader will erase all DATA ( will factory reset the phone.) , no ?

Hi guys I'm having a hard time connecting to the internet on my htc fuze. I just bought a brand new htc fuze off ebay and successfully unlocked it. Ive tried manually putting in the Rogers settings but it doesn't really work that well. Has anybody got their fuze to work on the Rogers network?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

I haven;t done it on the Fuze (yet - its in the mail!)

But on the Elf/Touch that I;m currently using just doing the internet.com settings was enough to get me going.

One thing though... is the one you bought actually the "HTC Fuze" (RAPH110) or was it a "Touch Pro" (RAPH100)?

The RAPH100 is the euro model and uses different frequencies for its UMTS antenna, which basically means you wouldn't be able to do 3G/HSDPA

Not sure if you're asking me or the OP, but I grabbed the actual Fuze that AT&T carries. Got in unlocked and the 3G feels faster than my iPhone. This could just be the placebo effect mind you. lol

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
Hello fellas :) I am new to the ROOTing world so I just wanted to ask you:

What are the Must HAVEs/DOs after rooting Mi 11 Ultra ?

For now I just rooted my phone with the latest Magisk 26.1. The only thing i did was enabling zygisk and systemless hosts (which are built-in), passing saftynet, adding banking app to DenyList.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] night_wind:
I've had the S23 Ultra (US, unlocked, from samsung.com) for a couple of months. I didn't root it, drop it, or splash it with water. I charged it last night, but when I woke up this morning, there was no sign of life: a black screen, no sound, no reaction to charging (even after long charging with a different charger and the cable), no reaction to a long press of Power + Vol Up/Down, and nothing detected in adb.

So I have a few questions:

Has anyone else had a similar experience with their device?

Any suggestions on how I could resurrect it?

Do you have any ideas about what might happen? Throughout the two months, I used the same old low-current (850 mA) Motorolla charger. The charger is still operational.

My current plan is to contact Samsung Support.

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
Have you tried using a higher capacity charger, like an official Samsung charger plugged into the wall? Have you tried a wireless charging pad to rule out an issue with the USB-C port? Samsung still uses the lowest grades soldier pennies can buy on their most premium devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Looks like you've tried everything basic and the phone's just dead. Could be a motherboard failure. Best to go to Samsung instead of breaking your head, as it's still under warranty. At least that's what I'd do in your position.

Wish you the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Try half an hour charging on wireless charger if you haven't tried yet
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Saw this happen on a Note 4 back in the day. It wasn't really dead but in a weird power state. Fully charging for a few hours (even though it showed nothing) then holding power and volume up and down got it to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pinoypower:
My old Note 4 went into this state and didnt manage to revive it with Power and Volume Up + Volume Down combo. The only sign that tells me it's not fully dead is the green notification light when I do the above combo.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nmt1900:
About weird power states - I had Galaxy Buds Pro, which refused to take any charge - wired charging did not work and wireless either. Only way to revive it was to use wireless power sharing from the phone. Problem did not reappear later. Go figure...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
Really? I "didn't root it" as if that is a bad thing 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] illetyus:
You obviously charged it with faulty charger. I experienced the exact same thing. I was about to cry but then i remembered i was testing a cheap, fake Samsung charger...

Then i plugged the phone into REAL charger, waited for 2-3 minutes, phone was alive with all its glory.

Get a GENUİNE one with GENUİNE Cable, you are good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Had this happen on my old s21u. Contacted support and told them I had done all the steps you did. They had me send it in for repair (was actually 2 months after warranty expired but they still agreed to repair it free of charge) and ended up changing the main board, usbc port and something else. Never happened again after (didn't change chargers or anything). So yeah, contact support that's your best bet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] rockky:
Is this not a legit Charger ?https://photos.app.goo.gl/X9AGuMiz98q3ya2E7
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
It will be hard to do it if he can't even turn on the device i any way... No combination of buttons work, no way to turn it on with charger or ADB...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
As its apparently either dead or in power-off state you could try to start it into download-mode by:

1. pressing Vol-Up and Vol-Down together and keep them pressed

2. plugging in a USB-cable connected to either a powered-on computer or a charger while keeping the buttons pressed

Normally it should boot into download mode (you can release the buttons after boot-up :) ).... Maybe this helps if the power button is broken....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
Phones have protection. Fake or real charger shouldn't damage phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
Can't a power surge damage a device? It can happen either during a storm or by using a non-recommended charger. It can fry certain components, even though phones have protection.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] illetyus:
No, it was like... My fake charger suddenly stopped working and my other phone recognized the charger + cable as a DATA TRANSFER DEVICE. It is really hard to describe the experience. No charging, my fake charger was recognized as something else..

The experience was... My S23 Ultra blacked out. I thought it was charging. Then, complete darkness. Didn't respond to power button.. Nothing. I thought it was bricked. Then i got up and found my other charger. Waited.. 10 - 15 seconds later my phone was back again. God i swear, i was shaking with sweat. It has been almost 1 month, my phone is just fine..

That day i decided to go with only geniue products. Maybe my phone protected itself by bricking itself. I really dont know.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
To me it sounds like what you experienced was just an empty battery :) .... without juice in the battery the phone cannot do anything and the defective charger did not charge the phone while you thought it did....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] night_wind:
Update from me: I scheduled an appointment from the Samsung site with an authorized service center (Best Buy). They checked my phone and said that they couldn't fix it if it wasn't turning on, and I had to send it to Samsung. That was unexpected.

I sent the phone to Samsung, and today I got a message that they could not reproduce the problem. I wasn't able to communicate with the service worker yet. My concern is that it could be a bad internal cable connection that restored the circuit due to the shipment vibrations. If so, and they will not check it, I could end up with a phone with a faulty connector that could die at any moment (hopefully during the warranty period). 🤦‍♂️
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
It's also possible that being in the weird power state was fixed by simply letting the phone completely deplete of charge so that it properly turned off, recharging, then rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] immortalwon:
I had this problem on my old s7 edge. It seems that samsung never fixed this problem. The screen would stay completely black, unable to do anything until the battery completely drained. The device itself was never rooted or modified. Pretty disappointing it was never fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] yygemmi770:
I've seen Samsung's go into a special mode that has a completely black screen and won't "power on" but is recognized by the computer, but only as modem and not the complete device. I believe its called EDL mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
That's a pretty bad and risky assumption. You'd be setting up your device for disaster that way.

It is always advisable to stick with branded accessories, even from a different reputed OEM would be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
I've used real branded Samsung and Chinese chargers since 2010 and over 20 different devices. Not once has a "unbranded" charger or cable destroyed my phone. I'll keep my assumption until it happens 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Yes, it is just a risk you're taking. Not everyone who breaks speed rules end up with an accident. But they shouldn't go around saying overspeeding is fine.

I wouldn't risk it or recommend it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
Stop giving all your money to name brands. Aukey, anker and other reputable brands work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
I only asked to stick with branded accessories to be on the safe side. Cheap, local stuff do pose risks.

Many of the charging technologies used by OEMs are proprietary in nature, so you get best results using the accessories made specifically for each device.

Although I have the Samsung 45W charger with me, I do occasionally charge my S22U with my OnePlus Warp charger, and it charges it just as fast. And I don't have to worry about safety or reliability issues as OnePlus accessories are indeed of great/ superior quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
This isn't the case for Samsung. They're using standard USB Power Delivery 3.0 with Programmable Power Supply (PPS). It would have to be a really poorly made charger to fry the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Yes, that's true.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] night_wind:
I received my device back with the following resolution:

The device was also wiped out for whatever reason. I don't think I could have missed anything obvious while I was trying to power it on initially.

Could a bad connector inside be the source of the issue? How likely do you think it is that after all the time I put into getting it up, it will fail once again in a few months?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
Glad to hear you have your device back and in working order....

I would still think a defective cable or a defective charger are the most likely cause, maybe worth checking this out....

[General Questions and Answers] skee/07088:
PEACE...it was suggested to me to bump this question on here, for further understanding...

i am GREATLY interested in knowing jus how these devices do their "magic"..my question(s) are:

1)i found that .netCF are pre-coded solutions that make the use of the windows mobile device for easier, when peepl customize their ROM, are they added their own written code to these "pre-coded" solutions??? OR..are they completely customizing the .netCF themselves????(hence the word custom ROM)

2)is "code" a sequence of characters(random or consequential) or are they actual command prompts(C:blah blah, stuff) or sumthin totally different?? for example, in morse code, ...---... is code for SOS..what does the actual "code" look like...to tell the phone to lock da touchscreen when the red phone key is pressed, for example??? NOW..i do know that tem[plates are used for customizing ROM, is .netCF the template?? or sumthing else????

3)what role does xml play?? i googled to find out that its used to deploy web applications, but what exactly is its responsibility as whole, pertaining to a ROM

THANK you sincerely for any info, as it would be used in building a stronger understanding on the PPC itself, for myself and others
[General Questions and Answers] skee/07088:
ok, mayb i showed my inexperience with that last question, now, when a ROM is customized, what exactly is happening?? is code being added to existing code?? or is enitrely whole new code written in place of the "stock" or original ROM? pleez any info that gets me in the right direction is appreciated...again, TIA

Good morning,

I allow myself to write this message because I have several questions, after having rooted my phone.

1) I would like to know how to protect the recovery with a password. Currently I have TWRP but I couldn't find anywhere how to put a password.

I heard about OrangeFox but I couldn't find any version compatible with the Xiaomi 12T Pro.

2) I would like to know how to disable or password protect the factory reset of the phone or how to have a personalized factory reset.

3) I heard about "EliteROM", what does it add to the phone?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] NOSS8:
Just put a pin code on the lock screen (for example).

TWRP.

Elite Rom
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] Lukyboy18:
Thank you for your feedback, how to do this? How to put a pin code on the lock screen of TWRP, I did not succeed.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] NOSS8:
Not on the TWRP but on the phone's lock screen (this will encrypt your data and you will be asked for the code on the TWRP).

Settings/passwords and security

Use the latest version of TWRP.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] Lukyboy18:
Ok but I want to have a different code than the phone itself.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] Lukyboy18:
Otherwise how to have a factory reset with a custom configuration and applications already installed?
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] NOSS8:
Ok but I want to have a different code than the phone itself.

not possible To be checked?

Factory reset will erase your data and configuration, make a backup with Micloud.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] Lukyboy18:
It's not possible to create some sort of custom ROM that would become the new factory format with a set configuration?
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] NOSS8:
There is backup with TWRP but not 100% guaranteed.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] alecxs:
1) there is no point in protecting recovery with password.

2) not possible to prevent factory reset. everyone with physical access can flash anything.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] Lukyboy18:
Ok it's just a matter of security so you can't do a factory reset without a pc. So there is no solution?
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] NOSS8:
Nope,do a search in the settings, there is.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] WoKoschekk:
Why doesn't TWRP have password protection?

I’ve had people ask enough for a protected TWRP that I’m creating this page as a response so I don’t have to retype. If you’re seeing this page, you’re proba...

twrp.me

In short: It doesn't make sense because TWRP can be substituted by another custom recovery without a password protection. And then your protection is deactivated.
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] alecxs:
for privacy security consider encryption
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] WoKoschekk:
Some Samsung phones won't start recovery until an USB connection is established. This can be a cable connection to a desktop PC, notebook, TV etc. or some certain usb devices. But it's unique for Samsung devices. Any other Android device only needs the key combo to boot into recovery.

I've already created the needed script files. You can find them in the attached ZIP file.

1. Install MortScript.

3. Create shortcuts to the script files and put them into the start menu/programs folder.

4. Associate the shortcuts to the touch hotkeys.

Hey all, hoping to get some help recovering my Pixel 2 XL.

I was testing Ubuntu Touch and was annoyed that I didn't have enough root space, so I tried to adjust the partitions and have ended up here.

Whats happening:

Phone only boots in bootloader / `fastboot` mode

When trying to boot into recovery it just takes me back to bootloader

When I try to start the phone it goes right back to bootloader

What works:

`fastboot devices` shows my phone connected

What I've tried:

Flashing recovery via fastboot

`fastboot flash system twrp-3.7.0_9-0-taimen.img`

Sending 'system' (40960 KB) OKAY [ 1.055s]

Writing 'system' FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')

`fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.7.0_9-0-taimen.img`

Warning: skip copying recovery image avb footer (recovery partition size: 0, recovery image size: 41943040).

Sending 'recovery' (40960 KB) OKAY [ 1.051s]

Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')

`fastboot flash boot_a twrp-3.7.0_9-0-taimen.img`

Warning: skip copying boot_a image avb footer (boot_a partition size: 0, boot_a image size: 41943040).

Sending 'boot_a' (40960 KB) OKAY [ 1.060s]

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.364s]

`fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.7.0_9-0-taimen.img`

Warning: skip copying boot_b image avb footer (boot_b partition size: 0, boot_b image size: 41943040).

Sending 'boot_b' (40960 KB) OKAY [ 0.989s]

Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.360s]

All of the above (successful or not) end up just taking me back to `bootloader` when I try to boot `recovery`

I've basically tried any command I can find on any image I've been able to get my hands on with no success

Everything I've found around restoring the factory partition table needs `adb`, so I'm stuck right now with.

Would love any suggestions, thanks.
