Missing Stop button in Device Manager

I've not used this myself, but from your screen-shot, that looks like it might be the STOP button. As the square icon is usually for STOP in these sort of things.

The only way I can stop the emulator is by running this on the command line:
ps -ax | grep emulator

And then kill the first process that appears with the description Android/sdk/emulator/qemu/darwin-aarch64/qemu-system-aarch64:
kill 46607

Help I can't update my Xperia L1 to Android 8 (Oreo)

I've recently bought an used Xperia L1 (in very good condition, looks like brand new) to use it as a secondary phone.



The only issue is that I can't update it to Android 8, even though, as I found on the internet, Xperia L1 supports it. The device, which runs Android 7.0 (https://imgur.com/a/5UcEjyY) just says it has the latest available system updates (https://imgur.com/a/FX04B5i).



How can I solve this problem?
even though it supports higher android os, it might not be available due to your cellular provider. your provider in conjunction with the manufacturer are the ones that makes updates available to your device. your phone is 5 years old! so i'm not surprised. if it is says it is up to date than your phone is up to date. not much you can do at this point in time.

is it really a big deal for you to get android 8?

Reviews Goodbye LG V40

2½ Month review:
After a few months of getting use to a new manufacturer and a new Android, I really like this phone. It does so much more than the LG V40 that they really cannot be compared. But I can't say which is responsible the phone or the Android but probably both. The battery is much better. It lasts longer and charges faster. The increase in size doesn't bother me. I haven't had most of the problems that have been posted and I love getting updates on time (for once in my life). I did get the Pro with 512 gb so it was the most expensive phone I have ever purchased. So far it was worth it.
The only negative is I had to change a few important apps because they won't work in Android 12. I could side load some but my keyboard with macros was over. I found a replacement for the macros but it's clumsy to use.
Best of luck to you all!

Help Flashing an already locked phone

I'd recommend you should just use a ROM that specifically matches your model I.D. Every phone model has it's own unique hardware configuration and every ROM is specifically and intentionally tailored to correspond to each phone's hardware. Android ROMs are not the same as something like a Windows Install disc/media even though a lot of people mistakenly assume they are -- in other words, Android ROMs are device specific while a desktop OS Install disc can be used on huge variations of hardware.
If you do want to experiment with using a different ROM than what matches your phone, there is a chance that'll work out for you. But it's more likely you'll just soft-brick your phone so it gets stuck in a boot loop, and in that case you should be able to just re-flash using the correct ROM to restore your phone back to working condition again. Keep in mind that hard-bricking your phone with a ROM mismatch is a possibility but not as likely.

Never able to get COLORS right in images!!

Some great advice here Hadron, I've tried 2 of the 4 things mentioned. I do wonder if buying an actual camera will be the thing to solve color issues. But I fear it will be yet another waste of time and money. BUT it is certainly worth thinking about. I beleive I've tried another camera app on a previous phone with the exact same results, however I haven't done so recently. I'll give that a go first, just in case it works. I don't hold hope, but it MIGHT work. Dang, I knew this was probably not fixable....I sure hoped though. :)

I'll keep trying and I greatly appreciate these ideas. Who knows? Never give up, never surrender!!!
It all depends on the eye.

Apps Proper way to close a fragment

Hey all I have 3 fragments - activity_main, _fragmoviesand _fragvideoplay.

In the activity_main I have the following:



In my _fragmovies I have the following:



In my _fragvideoplay I have the following:



On the activity_main I have the videoFrame that loads the _fragmovies fragment inside it when it's called by the _fragmovies.

public void startVideo(String mp4Name) {
tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.mTabLayout);
tabLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);

myfragment = new videoPlay();

//pass data
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("KEY", mp4Name);
myfragment.setArguments(bundle);

fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentManager.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);

frameLayout = findViewById(R.id.videoFrame);
frameLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

fragmentManager.replace(R.id.videoFrame, myfragment).commit();
}
The _fragmovies has a temporary button that, when pushed, loads up the _fragvideoplay fragment into the main_activity (the function above) along with passing the name of the video for _fragvideoplay to load up.

MainActivity ma = (MainActivity)getActivity();
ma.startVideo("thelostegg");
My question is:

What is the proper way to close the _fragvideoplay from within the _fragvideoplay function which is preformed by clicking on the close FloatingActionButton?

closeVid.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (floatingBtnMenu.isOpened()) {
_stop();
getActivity().getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
});
I tried using the getActivity().getFragmentManager().popBackStack(); but that does not seem to get rid of the _fragvideoplay so that I am able to see the _fragmoviesfragment page again (The one with the button on it).

Moto G4 FRP

Flashing a ROM will *not* remove the FRP lock. It wouldn't be a very secure lock if removing it were that easy
Actually it does. FRP gets tied directly to the installed Android OS on the device. It's software, it isn't some magical process that writes itself permanently into a chip on the phone's logic board. Perhaps you're confusing Factory Reset with flashing ROMs? All a Factory Reset does is wipe the user data partition clean, it doesn't do anything to any of the system partitions (where the OS resides). So no a Factory Reset won't bypass FRP. Flashing the ROM does replace the existing, installed OS with a 'clean' one.
However, since you do consider flashing ROMs to be 'easy' than that's certainly a unique viewpoint. A more practical one takes into consideration that most people are just not very comfortable doing such things. Simply because you think it's easy is of course your opinion, but you shouldn't assume that everyone else has your same skill set and interests.

how can I copy the screen icons and folders from one old phone to another new phone ?

Hello.

Every time I've change my phone I've the same problem.
At the new phone I recover the configuration and app's from the cloud backup of the old phone.
That's right, but I can't recover the screen icons and folders of the old phone to be equal at the new phone.
Is there an app or xiaomi utility to clone this icons from the old phone to the new.
It's hard to do manually.
Maybe some backup app do it.

My old phone redmi note9S miui 12.5.4 and android 11
My new phone poco x4 Pro 5g miui 13.0.3 and android 11

Thanks.

Maybe Mi Mover can do that? As that's designed by Xiaomi for data transfer between MIUI devices, such as Redmi, Poco, etc.
