[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
Hmm, there's 2 pin holes on the bottom left. I didn't see any labels/letters "rst". Presumably one is the internal microphone, and the other might be the rst button, I think this would be a factory reset rather than just a reboot though?
[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
Since the Head Unit is really Android 10 (fake 13) I installed Darker (mlhgdevelopment) and Night Screen (Arrows App), and with these apps I'm able to get the screen even dimmer.

Darker said you can enable some settings on some Android devices so that it can open a pop-up, but I couldn't work this out. Opening it doesn't bring up any app, but immediately makes the screen dimmer., and running it again turns it off (bright again).

Night Screen brings up a floating scrollbar and lets you select how dark or bright you want it. It also has a settings cog, and clicking that you can turn on a blue light filter as well.

I'm very happy my setup now.

Thanks everyone for all the help.

I'm going to get NaviFly on AliExpress to help me activate my device again, and I'll backup the key. I will try to ensure I've got all the features I had from factory before I did the factory reset.
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
Yes is a reset button, when the unit crashes etc. It also used to get into recovery mode when things really go wrong .
[FYT Android Head Units] leo989:
Darker can customize your dimmer, screen color filter, automatic (by time) dimmer... Once you install it on phone, you can see that setting by click on the notification bar.

Maybe for driving safety reason, some head unit do not display the app notification bar. So I do a trick by create a "shortcut" to Darker settings, which made an app to access directly to Darker setting. SO each time you open Darker, it will run with the setting you set instead of its defaul..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
I remember the old (very old) days when Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO was the best sound processor for Android. Then Viper4Android came like a dark horse and it is still the best sound processor. I even use it on my Windows PC (Viper4Windows), outperforming anything else.

But.... I want to avoid rooting my S21 Ultra only to be able to enjoy the same quality I have with my old (rooted) ZTE Axon 7. Maybe have already solved this problem in our device.

The question is: Is there any app, module, configuration, patch, or whatever thing other than Wavelet (the best I've found so far, but not enough), Poweramp equalizer, or RootlessJamesDSP ?

I appreciate any hint or experience that could cut down the time it would take me to explore all the options.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tqmatvey:
honestly from my experience, only viper is worth it still...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Energixia:
Did u try JamesDSP Manager?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
Viper4Android is the best, no doubt about that, but requires rooting.

JamesDSP Manager requires rooting as the module has to be installed using Magisk. I am looking for a solution that doesn't require rooting such as Wavelet, but closer to what Viper4Android offers.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tqmatvey:
@Oki there is a reason why you need root for actually good audio mods

lets take viper as an example, it's magisk module, adds a library to vendor, and patches audio policy, so that the library has direct access to audio post-processing, so that the app can use the library to do anything it wants with the audio stream

thats why without root, you wont get any results close to viper or jamesdsp.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
Since Android 10 there is a DynamicsProcessing Android API that allows the installation of different Audio Processors without the need for root access. For instance, RootlessJamesDSP can do the same as the Magisk module. If only V4A could be rewritten to use the DynamicProcessing Android API...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tqmatvey:
hm, havent seen it, will check it out
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
Well, I have found the issue. For some reason, the "Sound quality and effects" package was the source of the problem. Since it is a system package I can't disable it, but I could clear the data of the package, and that solved the distorted sound I was getting from it. If you have the same problem, all you have to do is to enable the adb interface in developers menu, connect your cell to the PC, and execute this command from your PC:

adb shell pm clear com.sec.android.app.soundalive
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] HeyHenry:
Honestly I just use dolby atmos and it sounds great with my akg k240s
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] genziutek:
Poweramp Equalizer - no root, working with games, apps etc.

Play Market linkView attachment 6034467View attachment 6034468
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
Yes, I know Poweramp Equalizer. It works better if you grant it a couple of permissions via adb:

adb shell pm grant com.maxmpz.equalizer android.permission.DUMP
adb shell pm grant com.maxmpz.equalizer android.permission.SET_VOLUME_KEY_LONG_PRESS_LISTENER

But even with this, it is still far from ViPER4Android. I am looking for the rumbling bass without bloating the stream with clear but not harsh highs I get with the old ZTE Axon 7 with ViPER's Dynamic Bass and Viper Clarity. JamesDSP gets closer to that, but at the cost of a long delay, so not applicable to videos or movies.

I am still considering the ZTE Axon 7 + V4A + wired headphones (1MORE Triple Driver for example) as the golden standard for me, as I haven't experienced anything better.

There is another issue, I am getting some distortion using Bluetooth headphones that I am not getting using wired headphones in this S21 Ultra. I am not sure if this is a problem with the One UI 6.0 beta or if it happens also with the One UI 5.1 ROM. I am not going back to Android 13. So, I am focusing on solving the issue with this ROM. It is extremely evident in the first 2 tones of this YouTube song that are repeated later. This is the link to the song on YouTube:

The distortion is noticeable in the first 2 tones of the song using Bluetooth headphones.

The crappy audio and even worse Bluetooth audio quality is the only flaw of this excellent phone. Obviously, I have tested this with multiple headphones and cellphones before narrowing it to the phone. And It seems I am not the only one: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...after-update-to-Android-13/m-p/2476182#M72949
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
I finally found the issue with bluetooth headphones. After Android 13, AAC is the default codec, and it is not working properly. When switching to SBC codec all the distortion disappeared in my case. Are you having the same issue with the AAC codec?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Oki:
It seems that the end is the beginning for me. I am returning to Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO.

I Confirm that the Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO v2.0.1.18 Patched mod Works in My Samsung S21 Ultra with the One UI 6.0 beta of November.

Getting and installing it is a little bit tricky:

1. Use Telegram to download the APK from this bot: https://t.me/EIZOBot

2. The App is password protected, to get the password, click on the password button of the Telegram bot. You need to subscribe to the YT Channel of the author and send a screenshot to the Telegram Bot. In a few hours, you will get the password.

3. If you are installing the app on Android 14, you will need to follow these instructions, otherwise, you won't be able to install the APK file.

4. Follow the configuration steps described here.

Finally pure eargasm in rootless Android 14!!!!! Not to the level of V4A, but still better than Wavelet and Poweramp EQ, and without the brutal delay of rootlessJamesDSP.

Some days back i had my phone on charge and was using instagram, in the meanwhile suddenly the phone turned off after a grey green line/artifacts

was shown on screen out of no where and wouldn't show screen even after i pressed the power button. I could hear the vibration sound of device powering ON though so i thought my display had gone faulty but a day later i connected it to pc and the display came back with the boot animation stuck at poco logo that too with some artifacts. I installed fastboot stock rom through fastboot mode thinking it was a custom rom problem and it booted but after some time 2 or 3 mins the artifacts again show up and the screen goes black while phone keeps repeating this cycle again with black screen i have to restart phone many times to get screen. I dont know what the problem may be i know its a hardware problem if anyone here has jad a similar problem and was able to get it fixed somehow do Tell... Hoping for a phone saving response P.s The Phone is out of warranty
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] khusika:
I believe it's a hardware issue and I suggest you take it to your nearest service center, several similar cases are posted on this forum.

I called service centre and they said they only replace faulty parts and will return the phone as is if the problem lies in the motherboard

Any news on this?

My phone is having the same symptoms.

The screen randomly cuts off or is blinking on/off, showing artifacts or the phone simply reboots.

Hi XDA community,

i tried to install Android on my Nokia Lumia 520 according to the tutorial by @sjrmac.

Everything went smoothly until the LK Bootloader installation, when the installation stopped after the following actions:

reg Query "HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0" | find /i "x86" > NUL && set PF=%PROGRAMFILES% || set PF=%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%

set thor="%PF%\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool\thor2.exe"

IF EXIST %thor% (

WHERE fastboot >nil 2>nil

IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (

echo Make sure there are no other phones connected to the PC

echo Disconnect every Android and Windows-based device

echo Turn your phone off

echo Remove and re-insert the battery

echo Connect it to the PC after pressing ENTER

pause

%thor% -mode rnd -asciimsgreq NOKD -asciimsgresp NOKD -skip_com_scan

%thor% -mode thor2 -mode uefiflash -partitionname UEFI -partitionimagefile "DATA\EMMCBOOT.mbn"

%thor% -mode rnd -reboot

Then the script stopped with the message ,,Waiting for device´´. For several minutes nothing happened at all. I tried unplugging the phone and plugging it back in, but still nothing. Now i can't turn on the phone. When i connect it to my computer it vibrates but that's it. I tried closing and running the script again but it can't find my phone anymore. What now? Is my phone bricked? I have a backup of Windows Phone. Thank you in advance for any answers.

thanks mate, take my like and gratitude.

could you expand on: - Some device specific features are not added, will be added eventually.

If that means the Discoball on the back I'm ok with it.(Or the Timerlight that only works with the Timer or Uber)

NFC I don't use. Brightness can be set manually i guess and with haptics you mean the lackluster vibrator?

cheers

install was easy (notice how annoying the little things were on stock that I switch on realeaseday to the first release ^^)

I believe you need to flash the fastboot stock NOS rom to both slots before flashing Nameless. I'm not sure nothingmuch rom is a good base. I think you need the official stock software.
[Nothing Phone 2] Buster99:
since OP did not answer:

my thoughts using it now for 24h:

(Initial offering of Nameless-AOSP_Pong-13.0-20231111-2045-Official.zip)

- overall the sound is not as loud as on stock (around 80%?)

- Glyph is not working (was one of my Qs) (See issues in OP)

- NFC Icon is permanently in Statusbar until you turn it of and reboot (See issues in OP)

- Notifications tend to stay 10-15 secs on the screen (headsup etc disabling does not help) which gets annoying when you try to type

- Battery seems ok

- stock Filemanager is the attrocious google one. maybe switch to AOSP where it remembers when you set it to show whole device.

- Magisk had to be installed via patched img, but that should stay for upcoming updates.

- Not sure if OTA works or is just in it

- no "long press to kill current app" neither in DevOpt nor somewhere in the settings, other shortcuts are there

- I need to find a working theming enginge for this rom (those google accent colors are BS since their inception)

- Speed so far is comparable

- Some ghosting on Screen when switching things (drawer to home)
[Nothing Phone 2] Buster99:
Android Auto is broken (freezes the phone until disconnected from the car - no logcat possible, file empty)

Google Maps sends the Phone into Crashdump mode (everytime you start a trip) Waze works

with that - not suitable as a Daily Driver yet
[Nothing Phone 2] chandu dyavanapelli:
Thanks for feedback. I’m working on fixes, soon will share a new build.
[Nothing Phone 2] STRUZZIN:
For a first build its pretty awesome.

I am using it with my GW6 daily been working great.

Cant wait for new build

Thanks Chandu
[Nothing Phone 2] Buster99:
got a bit more info from Android Auto and Google Maps:

I had to reset Google Apps twice to get Maps to work and not crashdump the phone.

With that reset Android Auto now makes the Phone go 1fps. I was able to sync my Phone (with a lot of patience) to my Car and when done the Maps on my Dash disappeared. I had to reconnect but that made my phone go 1fps again. after dcing trice Map on my Dash worked with current location and phone stopped its 1fps BS and was smooth. Though I got a lot "phone has been disconnected" Popups on my Dash. So something within google play services/Rom is out of whack.

I can try to get a logcat if you like need some suggestions for an app since the one i tried only logged nothing. (and USB logging wont work since Android Auto is Connected)

Today I open Microsoft Store

Keep prompting this
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] kingkwahli:
Yes, if Microsoft Store gives you an error code even while you are connected to the internet, go into Settings>Update&security>Phone update and check for updates. Even if it says couldn't check, press the check button until it says no updates available. Once/If you see an update, charge your phone to 40% and check on the phone so you can update&restart when the update is done. Keep updating until, it says no updates. Then your phone should properly run the Store and be fully updated. Note that these are instructions for Windows 10 Mobile only.

I have a 950 and 650, the Store works fine on both after updating.

I presume this screenshot is your error, even if the code is not the same.View attachment 6037452

Hope this helps!
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] DaveCZ:
According to Microsoft it is only temporary as they are working on it to make it "more user friendly".

It should be noted, that this may never come to life if they decide its not worth it!

But still, pretty nice to hear that they still have some interest in it :)

View attachment 6070981
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] kingkwahli:
Hey, while it is pretty cool that Microsoft is working on this, this is (most likely) not the reason for the error. I can access the store through both of my Lumia phones today. You just need to do and update in Settings>Update and security>Then Phone update (or Windows Update depending on what version you are on)

Update it as many times as it can go, then check the Store again. If it gives you the error code afrter you've updated, refresh. You should be prompted with a "The Store needs an update" download.

Hope this helps!

And, if you get any more info about this "More user friendly" Microsoft Store for WP, please let us know.

Thanks...
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] DaveCZ:
Yes, thank you for addressing this. I can now access the store normally, although I see why they would work on making it more user friendly. This version is a mess.

I also created a new post where I’ll be sharing anything new that pops up around Windows Mobile and the Store.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] GPSMapper:
Hi all,

I have Xiaomi 12, global V14.0.6.0.TLCMIXM (security patch September 2023)

I want to switch to the European version V14.0.13.0.TLCEUXM (security patch November 2023) with all data preserved.

I am aware of the method with replacing the firmware file during the OTA update process but it's a bit complicated (you have to be quick with replacing the file)

My bootloader is unlocked and I can boot into TWRP, is it possible to update the MIXM > EUXM firmware from TWRP by simple flashing of full EUXM OTA over Global MIXM without losing data?
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] khusika:
You will break something with that way, format data is required if you move from another region.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] NOSS8:
Make a Xiaomi backup and cloud synchronization and use Miflash to have all the imgs of the Global rom.

[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] GPSMapper:
Well, i know that changing regions via full OTA file replacement even with locked bootloader (via 3 dots update and ota file replacement) works flawlessly for any global roms TW-RU-IND-GLOBAL-EEA regions changing.

Only China<->Global does not work this way.

I have personally did that several times without data loss. Going from global to TW and later back to global.

I was only curious if TWRP OTA flash would be a little simpler alternative to 3 dots flashing (since I have bootloader unlocked)
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] NOSS8:
Did you do this with a device with A/B partitions?
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] GPSMapper:
Yes, did that on Xiaomi 12.

This (full recovery file replacement) is a well-known method of changing regions on non-rooted Xiaomi devices, surprised it is not known here....

The only prerequisite is that target full recovery OTA should have same or newer release date (and patch level?). Upgrading to older release will not work.

It's in Russian, but YouTube subtitle translation will help to understand the principles.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] lato_o:
what's the utility to switch to the European firmware ?
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] GPSMapper:
just upgraded MIXM > EUXM region using the full OTA file replacement method described above.

Actually no root and no bootloader unlock required, works like a sharm, all data is preserved.

You can easily switch FW versions and global roms regions using this method with only one pre-requisite - target ROM release date should be newer than the one you have currently installed.

The most common use case is switching from Global or EEA region to Taiwan or Indonesia, which has MIUI dialer with built-in line recording instead of Google dialer.

p.s. and it does not work for CN to Global and Global to CN transitions, but all these aspects are well described in the video above.
