[Vivo X Fold3] mr2kqql:
Samsung software is the most useless gimmick out there, most of there so called functions is not practical to use. For foldable or any decent phones, samsung is close to nonexistent in China. No body really uses it because there hardware and software is so outdated compare to mainland brands.
[Vivo X Fold3] goattee:
I should add that I'll be watching for comments from experienced Android users in the US and Europe where ROMs will be targeted at Latin-based character sets and availability of Google services.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
After getting TF3D to work exactly how I liked, I decided to make it look the way I like it as well.

I've started to find out how to modify the interface and spent quite some hours on creating my own theme now.

Once version 1 is complete, I will create a CAB and upload it here for all to enjoy.

From there I might modify it here and there, depending on my own liking and your feedback.

Current Features

:

- Custom background

- Downscaled, modified clock.

- Invisible Sliderbar

- Modified, glowing Slider

- Altered Program launcher menu buttons

- Modified upper curtain

- Custom Icons

- Semitransparent, silver highlights.

To-do list

:

- Camera Tab

- Stock Tab

- Settings Tab

- Dialer

Feedback is appreciated, stay tuned!

EDIT: Removed old preview, added new one!

NOTE: This preview turns out a little darker than it does on the phone itself!
[XPERIA X1 General] n4v1n:
little too gothic imo
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
yeah come on man the world economic crisis is depressing enough...

but good effort looks very nice
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
That's a bit harsh.

I did not intend it to be gothic. I liked the mountains behind the lake at night on the background picture. Added the moon and clouds to that, as it nicely fits the theme. From there I built the rest.

I do not consider a lake at night "gothic" - but that's my view.

How do you think I can improve it then? By lighting up the clock a bit?
[XPERIA X1 General] Pyrojester:
Black and blue, shots of the moon ect do tend to come across a bit gothic. Added to that the font for the clock looks like tombstone engravings. All a bit dark and gloomy for me, but its good to see themes being made.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Alright, I'm going to put some color in there. I think the clock is a major contributor to the "gloomy" part.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kevin_seymer:
Looks very good!
[XPERIA X1 General] 40oz2Freedom:
I think it looks good as is too! I didn't think it was too "gothic" or "gloomy" but I tend to prefer darker colors on the today screen and TF3D.

Regardless, very nice work thus far!
[XPERIA X1 General] n4v1n:
sorry if that sounded harsh, dark themes are nice but sometimes it gets a little too "dark"
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
New preview!

I found that adding other colors just made it look rediculous. Thus, to make it less gloomy, I added silver and glow effects, which still fit the theme.

You can compare them by viewing the attachments. feedback! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] dalewinterstein:
Excellent.

You probably gonna kill me for this but any chance of a landscape mod for this also ?? or is that way to much code ?
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
landscape mode will be very hard to add, we just made first step in mode9 file editing few days ago so expect long time before landscape support :(

anyway, the theme is cool but that 1 pixel line in middle of clock is ugly... as ugly (I suspect) will be the flipping clock animation. I'm working on sprint clock version for manilaHD, hope you like it when (if :D) will be ready ;) I had same issue with my manila customization
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Well, yeah. the line is kind-of bothersome and the animation looks kind-of borky. But on the phone itself, it doesn't bother me as much. The animation looks fair and the line, well, sure, if you keep staring at the screen all the time, looking for something wrong, yes.

If, however, you find a way to fix it, do tell me.

About the landscape, it has to be coded in first, when that's done, sure I can skin it, the files already exist. Just need to have the code!
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
Nice work!! I don't think it looks gothic at all. Its all SEXIFIED!!! LOL
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
sure, I mean about code landscape, once coded has to be skinned same way as other manila parts ;)

about the clock, manila it's a mess, for now i'm able to have sprint clock but only 1 appointment in home (like diamond) but I want all 4 appointment as manila HD can do. But again, who programmed manila shoul be [censored] :mad:

:D
[XPERIA X1 General] kuraudo:
To be honest, I like it a lot. If/When I get an X1, I'll either be looking for something like this, or a nice beach scene theme-wise.

My only gripe that comes to mind is that horizontal line in the middle of the clock numbers. Does that have to be there?
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Due to the way manila is coded, at this time I cannot remove it. It is less visible on the phone itself though, so it's not a big deal.
[XPERIA X1 General] zyexx:
yea...what he said
[XPERIA X1 General] lildogg:
looks really nice!
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:

I'm getting pretty close to a release version. Just need to do the Stock, Camera and settings tabs.

Guap, how is your tweak coming along?
[XPERIA X1 General] vwrmic:
A nice skin and good work. Great to see people skinning for a change regardless of the criticism received, ignore it.

It's certainly not gothic, it's more of a night time theme. Would be good if you made an alternate version to reflect the day time, then people could alternate between the two during the day and night. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G and it started black screen of death about 3 months ago, only now I was able to recover it, however, I forgot the pattern to unlock it. Developer mode is enabled, but since I can't get past the lock screen, I can't whitelist my PC on my phone when I plug it in. I tried contacting Samsung and they informed me that Smartthinghs find mobile has been discontinued for remote unlock. I've tried several patterns and now the standby time is at 4 hours.

[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] ianl50:
First question (relatively new phone model so likely many questions left). I was a member of XDA back in Windows Mobile days and found it a very useful forum. Customised ROM's were great fun.

Nowadays, it's essentially either Android or Apple. I'm passing familiar with Linux so Android it is for me.

The Poco X6 Pro (8Gb/256Gb) is a fast, solid device (so far) where I've managed to sort out most of the obvious things.

The Dimensity 8300 CPU will not run older 32 bit apps. I read that the Poco X6 Pro with a Snapdragon S8 CPU will by dint of a programme called Tango (French origin) which emulates 32 bit capability. It appears Xiamoi included this emulator in the Poco X6 Pro Snapdragon version but I cannot find it in the Dimensity model. I've separately downloaded this programme, offered for testing purposes, but have no idea how to test this with my Dimensity model. May not be possible, of course, but there are some old 32 bit apps I'd quite like to keep if it can be done.

Are there any people who've done, or at least tried, this ? Hope springs etc ...

This is my current experience with android 14+ no 32bit architecture

how to install old apk on android 14 without pc

hey guys, i am not a developer, but i have very good knowledge with android, and i find a solution for installing old apk on android 14 without pc. and this how i do it: 1. you need to install an app call " apk editor v 1.9.0" no pro version...

xdaforums.com

Basicly I try many things and still unable to install 32bit. I consider to try running virtual phone
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] ianl50:
@Hyoros

Thank you for your reply. I'm up for trying different approaches as well.

The Tango emulator seems to have Xiaomi's approval, at least for the Snapdragon 8 gen2 chip, so that too seems a possible approach.
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] Hyoros:
"Poco X6 Pro with a Snapdragon S8"

Gonna need source for that
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] ianl50:
No problem ... search for Tango emulator on Android.

This is an example:

Emulation Everywhere

More on the increasing importance of emulation and a curated selection of some of the most impressive open-source emulators

thechipletter.substack.com

The POCO X6 Pro with the Dimensity chip is still pretty new so I think hope remains. At some point, a solution could emerge.
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] Hyoros:
Sorry but the link you posted is about Tango emulator and snapdragon, it doesn't mentioned X6 or Poco
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] ianl50:
Again, thank you for your interest.

As I said in my opening comment:

It appears Xiamoi included this emulator in the Poco X6 Pro Snapdragon version but I cannot find it in the Dimensity model.

So my question was whether anyone had found a method of using the Tango emulator in the X6 Dimensity model. Repeating my question is perhaps not all that helpful, but thanks anyway.

There may yet be some resolution to emerge. Even a DOS emulator that actually works would be helpful. The whole issue is not all that critical of course, since it is well known that the X6 Dimensity cannot run 32bit programs and comes as no surprise.
[Google Pixel 8a] heatmikepark:
Hello Guys, I have an opportunity to get the Pixel 8a Japanese version to use in my home country India. The price is 40% less in Japan compared to India.

My concern is regarding usage, is there any significant difference in both? Will I face any major issues apart from warranty?

Warranty is not a issue for me as I believe that expensive phones if works properly for the first few days usually wont give any major issues for at least a year.

Members who have faced similar situation in the past please shed some light. Thank you in advance all. Cheers

Update: Just got the phone. Everything works great, no network issues.
[Google Pixel 8a] hightech316:
The network , radio frequencies and bands are going to be your number one concern.

I live in North America so I'm not sure what bands are offered in India, and what bands are offered on the Japanese handset.

GSM arena will tell you all the radio frequencies the handset supports. Underneath the " Supported Network " section .
[Google Pixel 8a] heatmikepark:
Hello, thanks for the reply.

I have already checked this. The JP and IN model have all the same bands, the only thing missing in JP is NavIC and mmWave n260 and n261 bands.

I don’t see that the above as a major issue, do you agree?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] CreepyClown:
Hey guys,

I hate for my first post here to be a problem, but while trying to get Wargus running on my Touch Pro I changed the registry setting for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEDriversConsoleOutputTo to 0 to use PocketCMD.

While browsing around trying to figure out why PocketCMD won't display text unless I scroll up or down, I found someone who said they managed to kill their Pro after reboot by changing the value to 0, like the instructions said. Before I reboot I was hoping to change it back to the original value so that I don't have this problem.

They claimed that by doing this, it caused the console to come up on boot and they were unable to continue past this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I just got this a few days ago and would hate to have already killed it :(.

Thanks, I will probably end up using that regularly. The problem I was having before is that WM wouldn't boot far enough for me to do anything from the phone. It came up with a console menu once the task bar loaded, displayed some diagnostic info and then froze.

I guess this would be a seperate topic as well, but what console do you use for the Touch Pro since the registry editing needed to run PocketCMD causes the phone to freeze on boot?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Yeah, 7zip is sometimes stupid.

It should recognize its own encrypted files.

I downloaded a few megs of that file. It's clearly encrypted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair571:
Thanks for taking a look at it. Is there any way to bypass that?

I‘l take a look at the boot.img to see if it has anything useful. Hopefully it shows what encryption method it uses and the key needed to decrypt it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
This is an update file. There is something already on your device that can handle this.

There is code in the updater app that generates an AES key.

They'll try to hide it and make it confusing, but it's there somewhere.

It will take a bit of sleuthing to find it.

I've done this sort of thing before, but only on devices that I'm interested in and own.

If this is a common/popular manufacturer/scheme somebody might be interested in doing this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair571:
This is an odd device as when it detects an update file on USB, it will ask you to update and then will immediately reboot to recovery and update.

I'll extract the recovery.img and see if it has anything interesting.

The device does have an app that allows for OTA updates, however, it seems online system updates have been disabled by the manufacturer. I've decompiled the Upgrade and IoT app, and found the following files which seem to related to extracting the img file. However, I'm not too sure exactly where to start.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
It looks like it could be stock 7zip AES/CBC/NoPadding encryption.

AES256SHA256Decoder.java is what does it.

But it's not being invoked in anything that you have there.

You have to look for org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.sevenz.AES256SHA256Decoder.decode() being called from somewhere.

Where's the apk?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair571:
Sorry, forgot to upload the apks with the archive before. I've also come to the same conclusion, although by complete accident. I changed the file extension to spd.img.7z, which allowed me to view several files.

I tried looking for that line, however, I just used the search function of Finder. Probably not the best idea as all the files were probably not indexed. I have a proper look again.

The spdUpgrade apk is responsible for USB updates and the update process itself, while the IoT updates is meant for OTA updates.

EDIT: I've taken a look and it seems that the AES256 decoder is not being invoked anywhere. Is it possible this file is not encrypted by any chance? It's also entirely possible that the file is encrypted and is only decrypted in recovery. I'll try to pull the recovery.img today.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
That SPD doesn't have the org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.sevenz.AES256SHA256Decoder.decode() in it.

Are there multiple apps on this OTA?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair571:
Just these two apps. I’ve tested this by disabling both apps, which prevents any updates from being performed. The other SPD system apps also seem to be unrelated to OTA updates. Also, I don’t think there’s a native Android system app that can do this.

This is why I was thinking that the decryption process is done by the recovery.img. I’ll upload the recovery.img here in about an hour. Hopefully, the file itself is relatively small. If not, I’ll take a look at it first and go from there.
