What's KWGT widgets? all the nothing dot matrix clicks have a black background
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
I used zfont to make a lot of my phone's text in dot matrix, like the picture says, plus the transparent date / date / weather on desktop.

There are as suggested widgets you can install although I've noticed higher drain on battery when I've used them myself so I don't bother no more, all widgets use more battery, especially live ones but non stock widgets always seem to be worse, hence why I don't use them if I can avoid them.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
It's possible that an update fixes this issue, so after you reset you may need to have it run an update.

If you're not using Samsung health stuff, you could just disable these items or even uninstall them via ADB. If you're rooted, you could also remove these items that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] bilmiyorum:
The device is already up to date. Disabling device health services is not a good idea as they are important for the device.(Sdhms isn't samsung health btw)I am still curious about the cause and solution of the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
You said you did a factory reset. That means the software may not be up to date - you have to have Google Play and maybe Samsung's store perform updates after that, to catch other items. I just want to make sure you did those.

Yes, you are correct, this isn't about Samsung health, but rather the device health - my mistake, I misunderstood.

Beyond that, I can't help further, as I have a Snapdragon phone. Exynos does things differently. Have you changed ROMs or anything like that, or are you running pure stock ROM made for your phone?

Is there any way to get DeX or something similar working on OnePlus PAD?

Thank you in advance!!
[OnePlus Pad] omega552003:
DeX is a Samsung product, OnePlus doesn't have a desktop mode.
[OnePlus Pad] Jastine:
I did a research and I came accross the the app called Sentio Desktop. Pretty much the most closest to Samsung Dex. Last update from the developer was 2018 I think but tried installing it and still working but some permissions are restricted for example the notication on the status bar. Maybe if someone from XDA could develop from it would be great.

Is it currently possible to install a GSI rom on zenfone 9?

I tried installing a GSI following the same omni rom instructions but got stuck on asus logo.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Veiranx:
For reference, the following github link is a list of GSIs.

Generic System Image (GSI) list

Notes about tinkering with Android Project Treble. Contribute to phhusson/treble_experimentations development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Be careful which GSI you try to install with, by the way. I'm currently using a Xiaomi 13 with GSI (a fork of AndyYan's Lineage 20) and trying to install some GSIs won't work because they are from a different architecture or Android version number. From the list above, some are ARM64 (you should probably go for these), ARM64-binder (32-bit with a 64-bit binder), or from further down ARM64 - X86. Also NOTE:

Only use GSI images with an Android version that's higher or equal to the version of Android that came with your device.​

As for the instructions:

-Ensure you are on stock/default ROM

-adb reboot fastboot

-----------------------------------------------

-More space is likely needed, though it's not strictly required to do this:

fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_a​

fastboot create-logical-partition system_ext_a 0​

-If still more is needed:

fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a​

fastboot create-logical-partition product_a 0​

-----------------------------------------------

-fastboot flash system xxx.img

-vbmeta might not be needed, if you don't plan to modify /system afterwards

-fastboot reboot recovery

-Wipe/format data manually

-Reboot

Let me know if this doesn't help! I no longer have a Zenfone 9, but I can try to help troubleshoot.
[Asus Zenfone 9] AhmedRehan98:
Still stuck on asus logo :/

I tried this and flashing from twrp to system directly then wiping.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Veiranx:
Maybe try a different GSI?
[Asus Zenfone 9] AhmedRehan98:
Tried three gsis, even dsu loading them fails, get stuck at asus logo
[Asus Zenfone 9] wakabayuu:
I think you're using a custom rom, you need to use the official rom's vendor.img

You can flash GSI in official rom, or flash GSI in custom rom and then flash the official vendor.img.
[Asus Zenfone 9] AhmedRehan98:
Thanks. But is Official rom's vendor.img = stock vendor.img?
[Asus Zenfone 9] wakabayuu:
Yes, you can get it by unpacking the Asus Stock ROM. Sorry for my English.
[Asus Zenfone 9] AhmedRehan98:
I do

>fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

right after flashing the gsi image in twrp, I get:

Sending 'vendor' (13066 KB) OKAY [ 0.302s]

Writing 'vendor' FAILED (remote: '(vendor_a) No such partition')

fastboot: error: Command failed

and booting normally I get stuck on the logo

If I follow this https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-install-gsi-android/ (flash using fastboot, then flash vendor.img afterwards)

I get no logo after ASUS and the screen is black
[Asus Zenfone 9] wakabayuu:
try the simplest: restore to stock rom and flash GSI

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kitlobell:
I have verizon and want to have the same number on each phone. It seems like their number share feature only works with devices like watches and not 2 phones. Google voice can do this but you have to have a data plan on the other phone or wifi connected which doesn't make sense. I believe T mobile digits is the only game in town. Any advice is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Tedjustadmitit:
Get a physical sim and switch it between the two devices, but you can’t have 1 number for two phones operating at the same time unless you use something like Google Voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kitlobell:
Doesn't T-mobile digits offer this feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Tedjustadmitit:
That’s more app like versus having two phone using a sim that can pick up the same number, but yes, Digits would get you more of that ability, but not sure how you would have a connection if you don’t have wifi connectivity. Otherwise the concept is very Apple like with iMessage and FaceTime From my understanding of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kitlobell:
I think it is the same concept as if you had a smartwatch with the phone. They utilize the same number but the watch somehow has a different number, but they are synced. The second phone with digits acts like a smartwatch device.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ziaur786:
Many phones from different brands currently facing this issue. can you suggest me next which model should I buy ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I would try clearing the system cach.

A hard reset.

A factory reset, if that fails try reflashing to last known good firmware.

If all that fails it may be a loose or failed connector or cable, inspect. They failure could be on the mobo but the display is more likely.

Do some Google searches as I haven't looked at this much, you may find a solution. Doesn't need to be the same model/year as issues tend to span models/years.

Depends what you want and what's available.

Personally I run Note 10+'s (Stock Snaps) on Android 9/10. I never upgrade or update them.

Zero hardware issues other than routine battery replacement. Always in a case. For productivity these are hard to beat. Optimized they'll get 10-13 hours SOT on a new battery. Gorgeous display but it's 60hz which personally makes no difference to me and contributes to its better SOT. Avoid the 5G variant as it's 1st generation and really not needed. The N10+ will out perform the new Samsung midrange phones.

Hi,

I have read everything I found about installing new apps in 2023 on a Lumia 950XL. I have already installed Windows Phone SDK.

First step : enable Developper Mode

And I'm lost : Settings is an APP to be downloaded !!! :confused: How can it be done in 2023 ?

The only way I can think about would be to flash a version with preloaded apps already installed, like settings, word, excel,...

The Lumia 950XL I have is resetted, with apps only preinstalled ?

I welcome any hints.

Thanks.

Settings should be installed already because it's a "priv-app".

Hi,

I followed your advice. Thanks.

After a hard reset, settings could be used, but apps keep crashing.

So with WPI, I flashed an official ffu image.

I'm still unable to deploy an app. I keep investigating.

Cordially
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] hooooossamq:
if you want to deploy any apps on windows phone you must turn on dev mode from settings\update and security...and for stock ffu file you must install many dependence file.or you can update your phone manualy to 1703 and install apps installer app so its will download any necessary files while installing any apps.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] jp320:
Hi,

I have updated manually to 1703. I was able to sideload several apps, but I guess that the number of apps deployed this way is limited. Does an app installer has the same limit ?

[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] hooooossamq:
you can install any apps you want directly from your sd card that you have downloaded before.you can found the most stock apps here https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4bb1byf2aed9z/nowe_appx or you can use w.u.t apps.dont ask where you can get it.use search and telegram group

Hello, I am owner of Honor 90 from one day. Today I charged it for the first time from 0 percent to 100 percent. I looked at the settings on the phone and for some reason it says that at 100% the effective duration will be 4 hours and 46 minutes. Is this normal for a new phone? In all the reviews they give it that it will last more than 24 hours without a problem. I looked at the old Samsung 33, which also has a 5000 mAh battery, and there at 50% charge it shows 1 day and 5-6 hours of autonomy. I was talking to another person who also bought the phone 1 week ago and it shows even less. At 100 percent charge, somewhere around 4 hours of autonomy.

Thanks in advance for your time.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Yes, it is normal for a new phone to have a shorter battery life than it will after it has been used for a few weeks or months. This is because the battery needs to be "conditioned" before it can reach its full potential. When you first use a new phone, the battery is not fully calibrated, which means that it is not able to accurately estimate how much power it has left. As you use the phone, the battery will gradually calibrate itself and the effective duration will improve.

Here is one small file that creates Option.xml files in Sys, OEM and Packages folders.

Valid comands are:

OE.exe /Sys - for parsing folders in Sys directory

OE.exe /Oem - for parsing folders in OEM directory

OE.exe /Packages - for parsing folders in Packages directory

OE.exe /All - for parsing folders in Sys, OEM and Packages directories

OE.exe /C your_dir - for parsing custom directory

OE.exe /C your_dir /R - for parsing custom directory and all subdirectories

Copy OE.exe to yourKitchen\tools directory and edit yourKitchen.CMD file so that contains o option for running the program. In zip you can find example for XperiaKitchen.CMD and copy changes from it.

When you extract rom on the main menu you will find shortcut O that creates Option.xml files with /All parameter

You need to have .net framework 3.5 installed on your pc for this to work, although it is needed for whole kitchen to work I think.

Change log:

V 1.1

- bugfix for creating one Option.xml file for main package and it subpackages instead of creating one Option.xml file for every folder

- added custom directory with or without recursive scan

V 1.0

- initial release

- basic file creation through Sys, Oem and packages directories
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gzub:
Great app, haven't tried it out yet, but will the next time I build a rom, can you modify it to take a directory instead of hardcoded to SYS/OEM/Packages and then have an option to either recursively do all sub directories or just the single directory you passed it?

this is the correct option.xml for Adobe PDF package:

the differences:

two dsm numbers in one option.xml

first dsm number for PACKAGE_BlackStone_AdobePDF

second for PACKAGE_BlackStone_AdobePDF_0409

Two folder, one package and one option.xml in first folder.

There are packages with three or four folders,

then contains the Option.xml three or four dsm numbers.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Synoyx:
Hi guys,

I have the SF5 since a week, and love it.

This morning, I opened the phone and eared a weird sound, like a 'pop', or something that peer-off. It happens when I'm opening the screen, at around 150°. Nothing when I close the phone.

It also happen when I slide my finger firmly on the 'central trench' of the screen.

This sound wasn't here until today.

As it is a peel-off sound, and I applied a screen protector 3/4 days ago, it may come from the screen protector ?

The sound isn't that big, but with a foldable phone it may be something serious ?

I wanted to know if I'm the only one in this case ? I may contact samsung and ask for another device, but it would mean that I need to buy new screen protector, and configure again a new phone ...

Thanks,

Julien
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] frogdr1ver:
It already has a screen protector on the main screen? Not sure it's a good idea to fit a second one? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
Am I right in thinking that you applied a screen protector over the top of the factory screen protector on the inner screen?

If so, this would seem to be the most likely cause of the popping sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Synoyx:
Yeah apparently there is a screen protector on the main screen but as I'm not sure of this information, I applied a screen protector myself :

NEWZEROL 2 Pièce Protection d'écran Compatible pour Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 5G, [Couverture Maximale] [Pas de Bulles] Protection d'écran Souple 3D en TPU https://amzn.eu/d/fExrpja
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
My thought is that the new 3rd party screen protector that you have overlaid on the Samsung screen protector, may be pulling the latter away from the screen. Placing 2 screen protectors on could reduce touch sensitivity or even stop the S-Pen working.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Synoyx:
Yes I was thinking the same, but why the sound would appear only few days after installation ?

I can't find any official info about the screen protector already applied. I saw videos of it on the ZF4 but there is none for the moment on the ZF5, how are you guys sure of this info ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
Maybe it took a while for the adhesive to un-stick.

All Fold5's come with a factory fitted internal screen protector.

See...

Can you remove the built-in screen protector on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5?​
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] pieces of cake:
I know this isn't very helpful at this point, but you should NOT have applied a screen protector on top of the pre-installed screen protector.

Connect with adb, uninstall the samsung keyboard and add gboard to your goodlock cover screen apps list.

.\adb.exe shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.honeyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] SpasilliumNexus:
Set Gboard as default, uninstalled Samsung's keyboard via ADB, does not work for me. No keyboard pops up on the coverscreen.

BTW... in case anyone wonders, getting the Samsung keyboard back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.honeyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] buru898:
Can confirm this works.

At first, when you run the uninstall, no keyboard will appear. What got it to work for me was:

Add Gboard to cover screen via Goodlock

Plug phone into computer and use ADB to uninstall the Samsung keyboard

Reboot phone (probably not necessary), keyboard still didn't show up after a reboot

Open Gboard on the cover screen, set the height to whatever it was already on, re-apply the same keyboard theme

Profit!

It's much, much faster than the Samsung one

Thank you @everdred for letting us know this works! I couldn't stand the Samsung keyboard
