Hey I have a stock ROM for the Indian TP. How do I do a dump of it?

asksaravana - What ROM are u using? Are you able to activate 3G on ur phone even though HTC left it out of Indian version.

Thanks!

Flashed EnergyROm

Can someone please help me out here?

I flashed Energy ROM (the latest Sep 6 release).

After I did so, EDGE stopped working. I am in India, the Touch Pro here has the 7201 processor and not the 7206 processor as is there in the rest of the world. 7201 doesn't support 3G. Max it can handle is EDGE.

In Energyrom, I saw the 3G option (on/off) in Communication Settings. Data connection (on/off) was also there. I could not turn data connection on at all.

I then went back to the HTC India official update that came in around Mar 09 on the HTC India site. This link is given below.

http://www.htc.com/in/supportdownloa...act=sd&cat=all

Before flashing Energy Rom I had this version anyway. In this version, the

3G option in comm. settings was never seen.

Now even though I have got back to HTC's rom, EDGE doesn't work. I can't turn data connection now in this ROM. The funny thing is that the processor name has become 7206. I had read about this on another thread that flashing ROMs that are built for 7201 makes the processor name show up wrongly.

Any idea whats wrong? Have I damaged the phone?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Sorry, i'm not an authority on indian telecoms (or even HTC tech to be honest!) but i would suspect you have flashed your radio (either as part of a ROM flash or seperatly) and thats why you cant get your radio (i am assuming you have checked your software settings - and checked that any problems arent local / network related).

Assuming its a radio issue (and i'm not 100% saying it is) then check out the radio thread in the rom forum & try a different one (radios dont require a hard reset so are quick to change - ensure you have the correct rilphone.dll - and it would appear you have hard spl as you have already changed rom) so good luck!

[you are very unlikely to have damaged the hardware of your phone by flashing a different raphael rom from here]
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] patra_kp:
I somehow got it working again. Could not exactly trace how it got working though. I flashed the rom again with the HTC Mar 09 release for India. Got it working.

Btw, before this I updated the rilphone as per the radio as suggested. That did not get it working.

Thanks anyway!

[Sony Xperia 1 V] myironlung:
How do you protect the camera lens? With such a top of the line camera phone ot would be a shame to get the lens scratched by something like keys in your pocket. Does anyone know of any decent solutions for the 1V? I see some cases online for other phones which have a slider that you can close over the lenses when you're not using them. I have also seen "Sapphire" lens protectors that you can stick on the lens itself. Neither seem to be available for this phone. Has anyone found something suitable or been able to repurpose something made for a different model phone?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] cpufrost:
Take care of it, I NEVER put a phone in my pocket! EVER!

The outer glass IS the protection. The (objective) lens is BEHIND the outer glass.

Adding another element just will decrease image quality. This becomes apparent when subjects have bright pin point light sources. Not to mention reflections. Not worth the hassle.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] digerati78:
You can get those normal camera lens protector from Amazon. But like cpufrost said, these have the tempered glass, and may interfere with the optical quality.

Examples:

https://www.amazon.com/TQLGY-Protector-Xperia-Tempered-Hardness/dp/B0C8SMHK2H/ref=sr_1_2?crid=34KH6KOIHEYQF&keywords=xperia+1+v+camera+protector&qid=1694207348&sprefix=xperia+1+v+camera+pro,aps,328&sr=8-2&th=1

https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Protective-Transparency-Hardness-Resistant-Compatible/dp/B0C4KK8F7K/ref=sr_1_19?crid=9MM39XSNT5ZK&keywords=sony+xperia+1+v+camera+protector&qid=1694207531&sprefix=sony+xperia+1+v+camera+protecto,aps,271&sr=8-19&th=1

The one i got does not have the glass, just the protector for the camera. I can only find a photo on Facebook:
[Sony Xperia 1 V] SALL666PL:
I do not recommend any camera covers, I had one and it got scratched after literally 2 hours, plus there are reflections when taking photos, and it is not possible to take a normal photo with the flash
[Sony Xperia 1 V] lucian74:
Yeah unfortunately no case yet with slider ...

Had the glass protector but finally removed cause of light bleeding especially with flash - and kinda halos during night shots.

Did order now alu lens protector without glas from Ali - let's how this works.

Also here is a flip case where u can take out the phone via magnets. I might close the opening for normal use ...
[Sony Xperia 1 V] myironlung:
Not putting my phone in my pocket is unrealistic for me. It is in my pocket most of the time I am not working at a desk or sleeping.

I agree about not putting something on the lens though. But maybe a sticker of some soft that could be taken off when needed?

Ideally there would be a slider we could open and close for protection, or some other sort of way to easily cover and uncover it.

Where did you find that? Does it impact photos at all? And do you think it would it fit in/under the official case?

What do you mean? Got an example?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] digerati78:
I bought it from a local seller in my country. I don't think he ships internationally.

No it does not impact the optical quality as i mentioned. It pastes on top of the camera bulge, but has no glass to cover the lenses.

I do not have the official Sony case, but it should fit as it is extremely thin.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] patrickt:
I'm with the "never put the phone in my pocket" group. I wear a belt holster for my phone. I chose a horizontal holster and it works fine for me. If I had to carry it in my pocket I'd use a soft fabric sleeve or a leather sleeve with a soft lining.

If you're curious, this is the holster I ordered from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C89GJX9R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
[Sony Xperia 1 V] lucian74:
For the iPhone 14max? How does it fit?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] patrickt:
I have no idea. I got the specs for the Xperia 1V,, measured the thickness of the Spigen case I had on my Xperia 5III and decided it would work. I was right. It fits perfectly end to end and the case could take a bit more. Neither thickness nor width is a problem.

If you haven't used a horizontal holster it take some getting used to. Now, when I see a photo, I can reach under my shirt, open the holster, and take the phone out with one hand and bring it up to shooting position. This holster has one opening in the bottom for you to push the camera up. Others have two openings, one towards each end. I've had both types over the years and both work fine.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] piskr:
I don't think that camera protection is a good idea. As far as I know, the Sony camera protection glass is sapphire. And additional protection would seriously affect photography.

I often put the phone into a pocket and never notice any damage on the camera. Though, I never have anything else in the same pocket, especially no sharp objects.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] patrickt:
Depends on where you live. Oaxaca is lovely but we have a few thieves and I never put anything but a bandana in a back pocket. During holidays when the town is packed with tourists crooks come in from other cities and their favorite scam is the old pigeon drop. So, I'm in the habit of having a card case and pocket knife in my right-hand pocket and my money clip and coins in my left-hand pocket.

My adopted nephews don't want to wear a holster because thieves will see they have a cell phone. EVERYONE has a cell phone. I remember the first time I saw a traditional Triqui chatting on a cell phone in Triqui. Amazing.

Young women with iPhones carry it in their hip pocket and make sure the Apple logo is showing.

In Oaxaca, the bigger the phone is, the better, so the Xperias look very modest.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] mufunyo:
Sliders can cause debris to get stuck between the slider and the lens, scratching the lens when you slide the slider. Adhesive protectors reduce image quality.

Just be careful with your phone and don't put anything else in the pocket that you put your phone in. The outer lens glass is either sapphire or gorilla glass DX+, so it does not need additional protection, just careful handling and it will survive the lifetime of the phone just fine. By trying to solve a problem you think exists you're only introducing additional problems.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] merc50:
I keep my phone in my pocket and never scratched the lens. I don't use a lens or a screen protector either, and never have on any phone. Nothing else is in my pocket with the phone and it's been fine for me.

Something like this doesn't have glass on it. It's only 2 dollars 😂 I hope you guys can find it in your countries.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] MotorcycleMike:
If I trade in my Fold 4 I can get the Fold 5 for $600. Is it worth the minor upgrades for $600? I was thinking of waiting for the One Plus Open.

Appreciate any insight.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Renate:
No, nothing in this world is worth $600.

If you motorcycle during the day you might consider a Hisense A9 Eink phone, recently hacked by the good folks here.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
A month ago, when I first received my new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 phone, I struggled on my, "First impressions", post to come up with any differences or features that warranted spending £1,750 (US$2,225), to replace my perfectly usable Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4.

Sure, the hinge both looked and felt better but that seemed to be about it.

How wrong I was!

Never has the phrase, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts", been more true.

I believe that Samsung have listened to the feedback from the previous 4 Fold models and with that knowledge have set about re-engineering and improving the Fold from the ground up. The hinge, the screens, the adhesive that holds the screens, the camera software, etc; etc; etc; have all been changed and tweaked to make a Fold phone to be proud of and on which they can build future releases.

Since I own both the Fold4 and Fold5, I have used them in tandem at the outset but more and more the Fold5 has become my daily driver as the Fold4, still in pristine condition, is consigned to my backup drawer.

That is not to say that the Fold4 is bad but rather, the Fold5 is better.

This video highlights just some of the reasons that I think that the Fold5 is worth upgrading to or, if you have never owned a Fold phone before, worth changing to.

How could Samsung improve on the Fold5?

Well, for me, it would be to introduce the shorter, wider, front screen that the Google Pixel Fold uses and an integrated S-Pen... but that is just me!

P.S. The big Fold battle will take place in 2024 after Google and OnePlus have a year under their belts. Then, along with Samsung, they will all need to up their game.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] EranNavick:
I switched from Fold 4 to Fold 5 and it is better in any way from camera to CPU to battery life.. and the funny one - having the phone have both ends close tightly, and the hinge moves smoother. The amount of dust I had to remove from the inner screen DAILY on the fold 4 because the two parts were not tight was amazing ! and I am using it in an office enviroment..

The fold 5 has very little dust collected , compared to the fold 4...

One more observation - the fold 4 started losing the big screen protector at the folding point (air bubbles) after less than one year of service. Of course I don't have a clue what the fold 5 do in a year..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] _GRIZZLY_:
Little off topic but it's strange for me pull off internal screen foil.

I have Fold 2 2,5 years and internal foil and still even on the fold edges stick like new.

I don't know how it's possible after a lot of opinions about pulling off.

Maybe thanks for it that I fold and unfold only with 1-0 position, no half and other angle.

Somewhere read advice about folding in 1-0 position for keep foil in good condition.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] thesm4rt1:
I made the switch and other than a minor improvement in cameras it is same as the 4 imo. Fold3 to 4/5 is worth it, from 4 to 5 I'd keep the money and go for 6
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iceepyon:
Yeah, I agree. As there isn't much of a difference between the Fold 4 and 5, with the exception of a different hinge folding design. Everything else is good
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] innerbeing:
I tried this and it was unsuccessful. I just don't know if I made an oversight or if it wasn't true or if there's something else that was not explained to me.

[General Questions and Answers] infinity958:
Can I use a gsi with no gapps with dsu sideloader? I asked bard ai and he said yes but idk if it's true
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:

Your bootloader must be unlocked to flash a GSI, and you must NOT lock your bootloader on anything other than the factory firmware.

...Why would you believe anything AI says?
[General Questions and Answers] myironlung:
In the past I used to use SD cards in my phones as internal storage. Space was limited back then and it made sense at the time. My last few phones didn't accept SD cards, but I have recently bought a phone (Sony Xperia 1V) that can accept them and I'd like to put one to use. I have a 1TB SD card installed and am now wondering what to do with it. It seems that Android has done away with the ability to use SD cards as internal storage over the past few years, and from the threads I see on here a lot of people discourage it because of slow speeds.

What is the best way to use SD cards in Android 13 or 14 nowadays? Apps themselves on internal storage with the app data on the external SD card, somehow? Some apps and data on internal storage, some on the external SD? Using the SD just as a backup of what is internally? Some combination of the previous, or something completely different?

If the SD card is to remain external, can it be encrypted in a way that it can be decrypted on your own computer or another phone for example, with the correct password?

I'm open to root solutions too.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Use the SD card as a data drive. All critical data goes here. The DCIM folder is backed up here regularly (do not use dcim in this folder's name!!!). Backup the SD card regularly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

Only apps, the download and dcim folders go on the internal drive.

NEVER encrypt data drives. Never clone data drives, copy/paste only. Always verify file size and if readable after copying.

Use a V60 rated card or higher for best results.

Leave the SD card in the phone. Always format in the phone before using. Upload/download through the phone.

Congratulations, you now have a handheld dual drive computer.
[General Questions and Answers] myironlung:
Thanks for the tips @blackhawk ! How do you achieve all of this? Use the SD card as normal external storage, install an app internally as normal, then in the app settings set it to use the SD card for storage? Any magisk modules needed or recommended?

Regarding backups, my method for the last few years has been to use Syncthing on several devices for certain folders. Do you recommend a better, alternative method?

When you say never encrypt drives I guess you mean the whole drive. What about using something like cryptomator on individual folders? I haven't used it myself so I'm not sure how feasible it is. I'm just afraid of having unencrypted data on an external SD card, in case the phone is ever lost or stolen.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Use apps like Poweramp and ColorNote that allow for full backup. Most apps aren't critical though. I use ColorNote for my bookmarks now.

I could use a good syncing app but if it screws up... it could trash the database. I do copy/paste still and sync anything that needs it myself.

Once you encrypt a data drive you are the one most likely to be locked out. A great way to lose a database. I treat my phone like my wallet.

I've seen passwords fail spectacularly through no fault of my own other than being fool enough to set one where it wasn't needed.

Paranoia the great destroyer.

Got into the same problem a couple of week back after installing and uninstalling 15-tab TF3D.

What did you do to get there?

My only way out short of a complete reset was to install "mROM Opal Diamond Comm Manager". Google it.

This is less than optimum as there is some problems with the display but gets you going.

If someone has a proper answer, thanks to let us know!!
[Touch HD General] golightlygl:
I too have this problem which I assume was caused after I tried out Panosa's COMMS manager tab. I'm sure this must just be a DLL or something that has been over-written and can be restored but we need the help of an expert to point this out.

Panosa, is there anything that you overwrite that needs to be restored for COMMS manager?
[Touch HD General] paulsilverman:
Thanks. That kind of fixes it. I now have 2 com manager shortcuts. Both "appear" to lead to the same app but, one works and one doesn't!

As you say, if anyone has a better answer, please do let us know!
[Touch HD General] golightlygl:
OK, found the problem. WHen there are more than six items selected for the comm manager, it cannot show them as on/off buttons. It defaults to LARGE buttons on the screen but the problem is that there is a bug with Manila and the background page is transparent.

SOLUTION: download schaps advanced config 3.3. In the MENU | MORE SETTINGS | COMM MANAGER, ensure that only six (max) items are selected. Then change the BUTTON STYLE to ON/OFF and voila... a normal Comms Manager returns.

My only problem now is that with all my messing about trying to get this right My 3G button appears to have lost it's icon ... and functionality
[Touch HD General] wetete:
First class help- Many thanks. That does solve the problem. Well done.

Hope your 3G comes back soon.

Happy new year!!!
[Touch HD General] superfougere:
as golightlygl said : it seems that on touch HD the 3g functionnality of comm manager doesnt work. When clicking on the button it doesn't do anything. I've been searching on the net net for quite a moment now and I didn't find an solution.

Someone has an idea ?

ATOTO A6 Backup camera wiring confusion.

Hey all. I have the Atoto A6 installed in my 2001 Ford Ranger and I'm trying to wire an aftermarket backup camera. The camera is a $25

Auto Sky brand from Amazon which came with no instructions at all. Everything on the Head Unit works great. I believe I'm close to getting the camera wired up but 1 or possibly 2 wires have me scratching my head.

I understand that I need to tap into a Reverse Light Positive wire for a trigger but there is a PINK wire on the ATOTO harness that's labeled.

Rear Camera (+) I guess it's looking for 12 VDC but I'm not sure if it's looking for power from the Reverse Lights or simply 12V

The pink wire has me confused.

I found a wiring diagram which I believe is for my camera. I've attached below.

Thanks so much.

Rob.

Addons, Fixes and other msic stuff will be posted here when needed

1) Revert to stock Partitions (Required if you installed Noble 3 with repartitioner)

Custom repartitioner script for those who previously flashed the original Noble V3 repartitioner and dont want to flash stock to restore original partitions

This will create big enough partitions were both Floyd and Noble can be installed without any issues.

* This is only required if you previously flashed "repartitioner" if you are coming from STOCK or Noble 2 or other ROMs that did not require repartitioner previously, This step is not necessary.

This will wipe your internal storage

The steps to install are as follows :

Download Both zips linked below and copy them to your phone (the internal memory will be wiped after the first script, so its a good idea to store these files on external SDCard, or copy them back to your phone after the first zip is flashed)

1) Flash "Universal9810_Repartitioner-FloydAndNoble"

2) Wait until it reboots back into recovery

3) Go to Wipe > press "Format Data" and type "yes"

4) Reboot back into recovery

5) Flash "Universal9810_Cleaner"

6) You are now able to flash either Noble or Floyd.

Thanks to @JeyKul for modifying the script, and @xxmustafacooTR for creating it
