Not great, not terrible. Most people don't keep midranges for more than three years anyway. Hell, even flagships. I wouldn't use any Snapdragon powered phone from 2017-2018 right now.

Also being in the extreme need of having the latest Android isn't something I can relate, is not like iOS where the most popular apps actually drop support for older versions. You can install basically anything on Android 9 even after five years. As for security, if you need to be spoonfed in that regard then better buy a Samsung.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] x3r0.13urn:
Poco F1 from late 2018 is still perfectly fine by now, even if you decide to stay in stock rom.

For me, any soc that scores at least 1.3k or higher in multicore geekbench, they're still withstand new apps till today. They're somewhat sluggish though. Less than that, they're already struggling to run daily apps today.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] SigmundDroid:
Well, how could they anyway if support is dropped after 3 years?

Basically not true, have seen enough apps that are either not offered or are not getting installed. But to be fair, have seen enough apps that just won't anyway :D

Sry for going so off-topic...
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] ashrobb:
No doubts about that. I thought the F1 was a bit more recent.

Yeah, lack of updates isn't even the major issue of older phones, but how slow they get in comparison to modern chipsets. The Snapdragon 845 which was the top SoC from Qualcomm for 2018 is basically at the same performance as this Dimensity 1080 inside the Note 12 Pro.

Nonsense. They don't drop it for lack of support, they drop it to get something newer.

Well that's basically what I said. I have an old LG G6 as a spare phone and it stopped receiving updates at Android 9. I'm yet to find something I can't install in there. For the phone to run it properly is another thing...

Heck, before that one I used to have a Moto G 2gen. From 2014 to 2018 without any issues related to the lack of software updates. That one stopped at Marshmallow. I only stopped using these as my main because of their SoC and other features getting outdated quickly.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] SigmundDroid:
I still think "users consider new phones once support by manufacturer is dropped" because after that is going quickly downhill (FUD about security and failing apps).

If support is going 5 or even 7 years as intended by EU regulation, I don't think the firepower will be much of an issue (not anymore). Your own example of snapdragon 845 supports that.

Will be tough for Samsung now due to their overbloated inefficient software stack, and I like that! :giggle:

Well, yes, true, there is indeed quite the "app gap" between A9 and earlier versions.

[General Questions and Answers] AkiraPerera04:
Hi all, there are the little dots at the bottom of the screen that match with each page of apps. If you tap on any of them, it will take you to the corresponding page of apps.

The dots (page indicators) are present in oneui where you can do the above. However I want a launcher/adb command/some random app or anything to be able to do this as I am changing to another phone away from oneui. My app drawer has like 17 pages and it is driving me nuts to swipe through it all. I hate vertical drawers by the way.

I am on Zenui, however like 90% of android Os's don't have the tap indicator to jump to page feature. So it's all the same thing and it doesn't matter what Os I'm on really.

Any ideas? I tried nova and you can't tap the dots.

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] martheen:
I can't use wallpapers with light colors on top since the notification icons would still use white colors and thus become barely visible. I can force Nova Launcher to use dark icons, but that only applies to the home screen, not the lock screen, which the stock ROM doesn't provide any way to customize. Some downloadable themes use dark icons on the lock screen, but not all, even those with blindingly white wallpaper. So either the lock screen detection isn't perfect, or there's an extra configuration bit in the theme. Unfortunately, I can't find the downloaded theme files to check if the latter is the case.

Is there a way to just force the lock screen to use dark icons? Perhaps pushing a setting through ADB? Alternatively, is there a relatively painless editor that allows replicating Nova Launcher's show shadow feature that adds a shadow on the very top part of the wallpaper, but to the image file itself?
[XPERIA X1 General] GoCho85:
Hi everyone,

the question is simple as you can see on the headline.

I'm testing the trial version of Pocket Informant 8 and that program is great. Nice usabalitiy and functions.

But I only use the SE Panel 2, that one with a monthly calendar, clock, to-do etc. not the main Panel. The problem here is, that PI8 would not fully integrate on that panel. Only the contact list works well, but I use a shortcut. If I would go on the monthly view, the X1 kicks me to the normal calendar.

Does someone know how to make it? I had activate PI8 as the standard calendar as well, but no use. :/
[XPERIA X1 General] bommel0815:
use the SoftKeyApplet.cpl and change the left softkey to PocketInformant

(google for the applet)
[XPERIA X1 General] Clasimodo:
Not working

In that case the calendar on the panel screen as well as the agenda items still refer to the old WM mobile agenda. Or am I doing something wrong? :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] Clasimodo:
Nobody knows how to solve this?
[XPERIA X1 General] GoCho85:
Nope u'r right, only the softkey for the calendar is then for PI, but the panel buttons are still the old winmob calendar.

Didn't found out anything until now, hope we can get help, I really like the calendar and have no idea how to change the registry savetly.^^
[XPERIA X1 General] tsadek:
I use PI8 extensively and am thinking of getting an X1 so gonna bump this in the hope that someone has a solution.

thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] vagelis:
The only solution I was forced to use is to disable them... they take too long to load anyway, and functionality is limited.

Use the free SPB Mobile X panel instead; on their forums there is a free plugin download, that integrates it with PI 8.
[XPERIA X1 General] holoski:
It isn't fully integrated on mine.

I use the SPB mobile panel and have also downloaded the Pocket Informant (PI) plugin from Spb. Now the Calender correctly loads the PI calender but the contacts tab on the spb shell still directs to the win mob contacts page :(

Anyone found a way to integrate the PI contacts to the 3rd tab for contacts on the Spb mobile panel ?

Ta
[XPERIA X1 General] GOF007:
I think the original WM Today Screen is the best.

It is very flexible and you can add any plugin u want.

Just put some plugins and you are good to go.

I really dont understand why many people overlook the functionality of the Today Screen which can get anything done in one screen. Unlike TF3D, SPB Shell, or the X Panel which have to scroll pages.

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] eyeone:
Sound is not routed to a Bluetooth device

Linageos 20. Android 13. Redmi 9.

I decided to connect my BT headphones and found this problem: WatsApp and Discord applications do not see the headphones, but if you listen to the voice in discord, you can hear it in the headphones, but if you go into the call, you can hear it on the speaker. The same with WatsApp, however, in telegram everything works properly both in calls and in voice calls. The standard call application also detects and uses headphones. I already changed the codecs, and the bitrate, and cut the equalizer and set another one - nothing helped. Maybe someone in the know can help? Headphones AirPods Pro 2nd gen premium. Everything was working before the firmware update.

P.S. It is not possible to deactivate bluetooth a2dp hardware offloading, when headphones are connected, this menu item is still not available for editing

Hi all,

Has anyone sucessfully maped a network drive from their home PC onto their diamond using resco?

at the monet i can create a vpn with my home PC, then lauch total commander.

In the top line i type \\mypcname\shareddrive and i can view the contents of that shared folder.

this is all well and good but i much prefer using resco to total commander but cant map the drive.

if i go resco>file>network>map network drive and fill in the appropriate details i am greeted with a message that the drive is either not avalable or i do not have permission to access it.

both of these point are incorrect becase accessing the drive with TC proves it does exist and i do have permission so whats the story with resco?

if anyone has any experiance with this or can think of some details i should have added ill be glad to hear from ya.

Can i only install the twrp without losing my data?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tutibreaker:
read the guide dude
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anonymous V:
yes you can
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kalim_714:
Why does it say i have to format before flashing the disable dm verity?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anonymous V:
its because disabling dm-verity without wiping data will cause a bootloop and we dont want that right? so its better to wipe data because when you disable dm-verity it will decrypt your phone leaving it vulnerable for attacks especially data and ur phone probably can detect that thats why it will cause a bootloop where as you wipe your phone before disabling dm-verity it will create a fresh and safe partition for data to be stored and already decrypted partition so when the system boot it wont bootloop because it knows there is no data to be protected by him or to be precise the main purpose of that zip is to fully disable it and it will decrypt your phone eternaly
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kalim_714:
Yes, that's what i want to avoid. I need to create an image of my phone for data recovery. So wiping it will negate the purpose of installing twrp
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anonymous V:
the twrp cant backup the data of the phone such as photos,apps and so on you can only backup partitions i.e boot,recovery,system for rom flashing if you really want to backup your phone then use TITANUM BACKUP it will backup your phones apps and data if your purpose is to back apps and data thru twrp its impossible
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kalim_714:
I dont want current backup. I want an image of my data partition so that i can recover deleted files .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anonymous V:
ohhh i see well just backup your whole userdata thru twrp and apps and data using titanium backup then after doing that you reformat now and flash the zip also you can use the backed up userdata to restore your data
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kalim_714:
So i iust flash twrp and not the disable dm verity file or xposed, it won't go into bootloop? And will be be able to pull image of my data partition?

yes after you pull it out you can do the things you want

Hi,

My Onpelus2 is stuck on "Oneplus" logo screen after I wiping out system, cache, recovery in fastboot mode.

It can still enter fastboot mode, and flashing TWRP recovery showed successful as well as fastboot oem unlock in adb.

But rebooting from fastboot to recovery failed, instead it is stuck on the "Oneplus" logo screen.

Further, fastboot mode is no more accessible. It was like bricked device.

But after the battery depleted itself, and I charged it, it can still enter fastboot mode.

Thanks in advance for your advice to this issue.
[General Topics] camren7:
I am somewhat familiar with what "wifi calling" is, but I feel it is important for me to mention that this is an option that I have never actually used. I do, however, frequently see it listed as a button in my quick settings panel, which is (or usually is) always grayed out... indicating that it is not in use- right? -well, I am seeking help in understanding .... why every now and then when I swipe down (twice) to access my full quick settings panel, do I briefly see the WiFi Calling option half-way illuminated in blue and then almost immediately switches to grey? This rapid color changing happens without any input on my behalf.. & to be clear, the Wifi Calling button isn't fully illuminated in blue, it's much more of a dim blue, almost like it's initializing but never fully does... but it also isn't dimmed all the way out, resembling grey (off).

If anyone can give me any clarity, advice, insights, or just any information about why this may be occurring, I would be very grateful.

Also, if my question is unclear or if you need more details in order to understand what I am trying to explain, please let me know. I will provide you the best details I can.

I am really bothered by this odd behavior and I am desperately trying to "get to the bottom" of it.
