Skin Mediaplayer

I need a popup video mediaplayer that I can place in an image.

Picture a t.v or movie screen with the mediaplayer as the screen.

I'm thinking of using an image with a transparent region where the video will show.

I want to make a nice skin as opposed to a simple black rectangle.

If anyone can give me an example or point me to one, I would be grateful.

Thank you?

Help How to know if remote erase worked? (Android Device Manager)

Correct, IMEI blacklist won't affect data on the phone - it might actually prevent the phone receiving the wipe command if it can't connect.

Of course if the phone hasn't come back online in a day or so there's a good chance it isn't going to, so at some point I would get it blacklisted anyway. But I don't know how persistent Google's remote wipe or lock is: you'd hope that it would be triggered when that device connects to the Google account whenever that happens, rather than timing out after a few weeks or months, but I've never tested it and am not aware of Google making the technical details public (I wouldn't do so if I were them).

If someone has reset it to try to get past your screen lock they will have done the data wipe for you (and locked themself out via FRP).

Does anyone know what this notification icon is?

The thing is that it's vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place it nor could a reverse image search. It gives me a bit of a "shield" vibe, so my thought was firewall/security/ad-blocker, but searching those categories didn't come up with it.

As Brian says, 99% of these queries are someone concerned about a dating app on a partner's phone, and there's nothing about the design to suggest that.

Filtering Google Play apps by permissions

If you are concerned about privacy, then Google is not your friend.

Period.

Not just permissions, but the apps themselves need to be disabled/uninstalled.

New permissions can be added to any app at any update.

Many apps rely upon the permissions of other apps, especially if permissions are denied in the apps in question.

As far as I know, at least with Android 9 & 10, when you enter the permissions area of an app, there is an option to see all the other apps that have the same permission(s).

Another way is if you know what permission(s) you are looking for is to try this app:

Pen calibration with Ibis Paint

How can I calibrate my stylus with Ibis paint. The draw line is about 1/8" below where the tip hits the screen. I have a Galaxy F9+. Thanks for any help....

I don't know this Ibis Paint, but I assume it doesn't have any way of calibrating a stylus to the app? Also what actual stylus are you using, a Samsung S-pen or something else?

I use a Galaxy Note20 Ultra myself, and the included S-pen stylus is spot on for any drawing apps, no calibration needed. And it the same for other Note series phones, and Samsung devices that are compatible with the S-pen, like the latest Fold series are apparently S-pen compatible.
