[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TFGBD:
If you want to go as far as having an on screen virtual keypad with the OS running at a lower resolution to accommodate it, I imagine this would need to be done through a replacement screen driver much like NYDITOT. If you've ever used NVD, you should know what I mean. They use a generic replacement for the screen/display/keyboard driver that then allows the OS display to be run at any resolution and then scrolled.

But since it replaces the entire screen driver (ddi.dll) with it's own generic version, this method is also a performance hit for more graphical apps like games. If someone can figure out something better and easier, go for it. I imagine you would only need to hack with the touch driver if you wanted an invisible on-screen dpad or something.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Z80-Man:
It's just another keyboard...

Hello, sorry to unburry this topic, but I consider the concept is of premium importance.

First of all, I think it should have nothing to do with resizing the screen, as it would just complicate the process and slow down the programs...

Games and other software using the HD's missing pad are generally already VGA (if not QVGA) sized (considering recent WVGA games can use the touchscreen or the accelerometer), so they already display black unused sections on the screen (and by the way, a lot of useful apps, such as WVGAFix or Hou Ming's Force Hires already manage the lost margin and/or resize QVGA to VGA).

So it should only be about using this otherwise spilled and already existing dead zone to display a pad.

There are tons of applications for such a pad, and not only games !

Just browsing through directories can just be so painful without a pad, as Windows Mobile massively relies on its presence.

For instance, you have nice thumbnails showing when you parse pictures, but they are rendered useless, as you can't browse through them ! As soon as you select the next one with stylus or finger, it pops opened (well, popping isn't really the appropriate word, if you consider how slow the process is :D)

Then the best way to browse a directory, is to open the SIP keyboard, but of course, not the Microsoft one, as it has no arrow keys (remember : Windows assumes a pad is present) : you have to open this nice, but oversized HTC one, you know, the one that has arrows, but no Ctrl key, and therefore is unable to copy and paste !... :D

As keyboard arrows do work in any situation, I really, really think we all lack a simple 4 direction pad (plus "action" button, the other four classical buttons being physically present, phew) that would take no room on the screen, and help us browsing files and menus, or playing games.

The virtual pad should be available in the keyboards and other input devices list, exactly the same way the others are.

Ideally, we could imagine a tiny one that would overlap the central button and take no room on the screen, but just occupy about half an inch in the center of the lower bar, plus the usual SIP input choice arrow, in order we can still change keyboards at will.

For older VGA ou QVGA games, a larger and more finger friendly version could be imagined, either just a thick line of buttons, or why not, a larger pad, as shown on Wolfenzi's nice picture. :)

Just consider that a lot of virtual keyboards are available, so It doesn't seem to be something impossible to do !

It would be just another keyboard, just having only 5 keys, and nothing else !!!

I actually really can't figure out why nobody seems to be interested by such a simple yet useful idea...

Oh, and as Maati, I'm ready to remunerate anyone who'd do the effort, too. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Well, not as I see it, and support the need for such a utility.

This utility would allow older (no longer actively supported?) applications what were design for VGA and control (only!) thru the D-pad, to still work.

Of course, new applications will be written to fully use WVGA, and have control thru means other than the D-pad.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
+2 Ditto. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pixiewave:
hail to this simple, yet working solution.

and even include gestueres perhaps like windows and resco keyboard has.

why is it that we dont have this yet than??

sorry for my bad english
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Z80-Man:
Hey, there's even worse than our good old Touch HD !

I recently tried a Touch HD 2 a friend wanted to show me (actually the guy who sold me his Touch HD ! :D) and now there's an even biggest problem with HTC Sense (or maybe just Windows mobile 6.5) and the capacitive multitouch screen !

The good old scroll bars on the sides of the windows have been replaced by a thin line popping a slider when you press on it...

But, now it's all but precise !

As your finger now touches an entire area at the same time, it becomes almost impossible to scroll precisely to a desired position in a long list or directory (just try to go where you want in the Windows directory, and you'll go quickly mad) !!!

Maybe it would be better with a stylus, but there's no stylus provided with the Touch HD 2...

Or maybe it would be better using the arrows keys... The ones that should be on the pad if it was there... ;)

Now you know why I told you that story ! :D
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] bdutta:
Can anyone please suggest a relatively simple and safe (that doesn't brick the phone) way to debloat a brand new Poco X5 Pro 5G phone ? The phone will be handed over to someone who won't have the technical expertise to do all that I'd do with it before gifting it to them, so want something that is safe, left as-is.

I see methods that talk of a

Universal Android Debloater

XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar

adb CLI based method and a manually crafted list of packages

What are some of the packages that definitely SHOULD NOT be removed due to risk of bricking the device ?

For GCam, I read that Arnova8G2 GCam mod might be working but there weren't many positive confirmations of this being true. Can anyone here confirm that it is working well ?

TIA
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] bdutta:
Went ahead and used the 2nd method i.e. XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar and did the following:

Removed the following:

Package: com.miui.analytics

Package: com.google.android.marvin.talkback

Package: com.mi.android.globalminusscreen

Package: com.miui.backup

Package: com.bsp.catchlog

Package: com.google.android.apps.wellbeing

Package: com.facebook.appmanager

Package: com.facebook.services

Package: com.facebook.system

Package: com.miui.bugreport

Package: com.miui.phrase

Package: com.xiaomi.mipicks

Package: com.google.android.apps.googleassistant

Package: com.google.android.calculator

Package: com.google.android.calendar

Package: com.android.chrome

Package: com.google.android.apps.tachyon

Package: com.google.android.apps.subscriptions.red

Package: com.google.android.play.games

Package: com.xiaomi.joyose

Package: com.miui.msa.global

Package: com.google.android.feedback

Package: com.xiaomi.calendar

Package: com.miui.cloudbackup

Package: com.miui.cloudservice

Package: com.miui.micloudsync

Package: com.xiaomi.payment

Package: com.miui.daemon

Package: com.miui.player

Package: com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks

Package: com.miui.touchassistant

Package: com.miui.miservice

Package: com.tencent.soter.soterserver

Package: com.milink.service

Package: com.miui.android.fashiongallery

Package: com.xiaomi.simactivate.service

Package: com.xiaomi.xmsf

Package: com.xiaomi.xmsfkeeper

Package: com.miui.yellowpage

Disabled the following:

Package: com.miui.freeform

Package: com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer

Package: com.miui.mishare.connectivity

Package: com.miui.weather2

Had also removed the package com.miui.miwallpaper but had to reinstall it, as without it I had lost all forms of wallpaper, and had ended up with a solid black background. However, the above list is arrived at based on packages that are marked as "Recommended" in the data file of Universal Android Debloater and I deliberately left the "Advanced" ones out, as I have some experience with difficulties by removing some of those. So thanks to the author(s) of the UAD project. Somehow, I couldn't get the UAD binary to detect the new phone though.

Also noticed that the above method is for only cleaning those apps those come pre-installed, and not for those that have been added through Play Store. This might be obvious to others, but wasn't obvious to me, so mentioned.

Still looking for GCam but will give it a spin.

I think you'll have to hard reset the device.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] regioli:
i tried installing windows 11 on it and i bricked and than to help even more i somehow locked my bootloader, so basically i have it bricked and locked and i dont know what to do anything would help
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] mvikrant97:
A Xiaomi Authorised Flash can fix your device in edl mode.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] siamese007:
Though you can enter edl mode of your bricked device, you need to do provision to authorize your access and flash via this method. As of now I cannot find the provision file for this device yet.

Flashing Qualcomm devices via edl mode mostly requires provisioning before getting authorization to flash. There is a slim chance that you can request this file for your device from Xiaomi official.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] mvikrant97:
I have access to Xiaomi authorised account, although it is not free so I cannot discuss it here.

Hello, I just bought a new Oppo Reno6 5G. It didn't come with a charger and I had to use my Xiaomi 67W charger - unfortunately it only charges at about 15-18W and takes a whooping 2 hours to fully charge. I guess it is not possible to get a supervooc charging without the original charger. It might be otherwise obvious, but can someone confirm if quick charging of an Oppo device is only possible with the original 65 W charger ?
[OPPO Reno 6 5G] Vyorrel:
you need to get a cable that supports 6.5A (ampere) to charge your phone at 65w
[General Questions and Answers] DomSim:
Hello, i have seen a few other threads mentioning this problem with no working solution for me. I have a sprint HTC touch pro on JD's rom 7.1 and when ever i am connected through activesync to my computer i cannot answer any calls. it rings, all be it, with a long long delay and then the call id pops up with the answer, hang up, or ignore with text options. i can hit answer or hang up but neither does anything. it just stays on this screen with the phone ringins. if i disconnect from activesync every thing works as it should. from what i can tell, i cannot answer the phone because the data session is active and not being dropped for the phone call ass it should. i tried the ##ddtm# switched option that was mentioned, deleted my microsoft exchange setup, and had it stop syncing email all together but the problem still persists. any help or advice?

Evo X mate, irs the best one there is...stable and packed..could get the extra camera working too.

Can't remember what version of Android it was on though..better battery on 12 iirc
[Nothing Phone 2] LowaEastSide:
I'm going to try and flash it today. I tried flashing CDroid and it failed. I followed the instructions step by step but wasn't able to get it flashed. I'm looking forward to seeing how this Evo X runs. I have read great things about it. Will keep you posted. On another note, this OnePlus 8 Pro turn out to be one of my Favorite phones to date. Super reliable, unbrickable, and just simply alit of fun to mess with. The 2K screen is one of a kind, and I really like this it's closer to 6.8" instead of 6.7" like all these phones now a days. It's hard to find a newer device that can measure up to it. Could be in part why it was easy for me to sell my NP1. Hoping the NP2 can Measure up. Time will tell.
[Nothing Phone 2] LowaEastSide:
So you recommend I be on Stock Android 12 before Flashing? I ask cause I'm on Android 11 at the moment.
[Nothing Phone 2] LowaEastSide:
It's also weird that I can not find MSM TOOL For Android 12 or Android 13. The only MSM TOOL I have is for Android 11, which is fine cause all I have to do is Update the Software. Not a biggy.

Just use that then update..

Bro, the amount of customization this Rom has is insane. One after another, after another. I would like to know if you remember an option to turn the background completely black.

[Nothing Phone 2] LowaEastSide:
Came across even more issues, I mentioned that I came across a OTA update straight from the DEV, so once the update was completed wifi & data connections stopped working completely. I was like WTF, after the 2hrs of flashing + setting up the device this appends. I was tight, I was ready to flash back android 11 with the MSM Tool , However, I figured it wouldn't hurt to do a factory reset to see if that fixes the issues. Thanks God it Did, granted, I had to set everything up all over again, But it was worth the hassle, considering all the Custom Stuff this Rom Has. The reset also fixed the Device not communicating with my Computer. So it was a Blessing in Disguise. I still haven't been able to get Magisk Flashed over though, Not a Biggy for me, cause i have basically everything i need with out it. So I can live with out it at this Point. Thanks for your Help. Im still in the Process of setting it up, Sh@t with all the customizations this Rom has I think It'll take years for me to fully set it up, word..!!

Unfortunately, the problem is still there and I can't think to use wide camera for videos cause is really terrible.

I have taken some videos with my phone, 4k 10 bit, and I have uploaded them on youtube. I use the standard photocamera app, regularly updated.
