Rooting

rooting is very device specific. always look to xda like the one @Dannydet linked you to. xda is where devs hang out. if you see your device has a specific forum then you are most likely go to go for root which basically means that your device has a dev community to support it.

just remember:
no devs=no fun

Root Tesla Smartphone

yeah well it is only the op with no answers to the op........so to answer your question, no your phone is not rootable at the moment. rooting is very phone specific and it also requires a development community to support the phone. the link that @Dannydet is for xda developers forum this is where devs will publish their projects. always head there first for anything root related.

just remember:
no devs=no fun

anyways........what data was lost? pictures? app data? how did you dad delete it?

Mobile Hotspot Authentication Error

FYI it took me 3 weeks and 2 new devices and hours with Verizon tech support to get my issue resolved. Call customer service and have them put you through to tier 3 tech support or download tech coach on Google play.. Regular customer service knows nothing of the issue and they can't fix it despite trying everything in their "troubleshooting" tool belt, lol. It's not even well known in tech support tbh. Tech has to put you on a ticket and manually fix the issue with a patch. It's a provision issue with Verizon. Even if it shows you have hotspot on your account it will still block you from using it.
They also tried to sell me a hotspot device saying my "phone wasn't meant to be a hotspot". I say BS! Why even have the feature?

Need Help with third-party android box

I recently purchased this box named "TUREWELL T95 Max Android 9.0 TV Box" from amazon. Link:https://www.amazon.com/TUREWELL-T95...oid+box&qid=1568140326&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr2

After attaching it to an external touch display, I have found 1. no navigation bar/panel 2. the touch on the display works if and only if I use the mouse cursor that is pre-loaded on the android. There is no way to operate an external touch display without having to control (touch/drag/move) mouse cursor. There also arent any Developer Options mode so I am unable to hide cursor or anything like that. I just want to run my android apps on my touch screen monitor without having to 1. physically always move the mouse cursor 2. not have to use the remote. Any and all suggestions would be hugely appreciated! Thank you!

Photo Viewer Which Allows Embedding Folders

Welcome to Android Forums, Lyle Mariam! :)

I second F-Stop. I use its Pro (paid) version. It does exactly what you're looking for.

Just FYI, this board is really meant for suggestions/feedback about Android Forums. There are other boards, such as Android Lounge for non-forum related questions.

If you decide to use F-Stop and need any help, let me know! :D

Photo Viewer Which Allows Embedding Folders

I have a new Galaxy Tab S6 Tablet which I want to use with my digital photography. What I'd like is a photo viewer that allows me to organize my folders and put folders inside of a topic folder rather than a bewildering list of folders. I have pictures in different folders for landscape, models, photoshoots, etc.

What I want is to initially just see a top level list of folders such as landscape, models, photoshoots. Then when I click on one of the topic folders be able to see folders underneath (inside) the upper level folder. All of the apps I can find just displays all of the folders the search finds so I have to search through a long list of folders (albums) to find the one I want rather than just being able to drill down like on a Windows PC.

Is there a photo app for Android that supports this?

[Game][Free] Number Blocks Online

Number Blocks Online is an online game where you place shapes onto a board to score points. There are two game modes, Score Attack and Survival.

In Score Attack mode, the first player to reach 150 points is the winner. In Survival mode, you place shapes onto the board until one is unable to do so.

Completely filling a row or column removes it. In Score Attack mode, this will earn you points, and removing multiple rows or columns in one go will earn bonus points. Removing multiple rows or columns in Survival mode will penalise your opponent by adding blocks to their board that are impossible to remove.

You can either play casually, which does not require an account to be created, or ranked mode, which does require an account to be created.

Creation and Setting of background images in android application

Hello,

I am new to android application development and i am currently working on an existing android application. I have couple of questions regarding the creation & setting of background images in the application

1) In the existing project I found that the images are set based on different dpi levels. But I found that there are different devices with different screen resolutions for same dpi value. For e.g., in latest Android Studio (v.3.5) in the AVD manager I found following screen resolutions for the same dpi “~420 dpi”.

a. Which resolution should I chose to set the background image?
b. Do I need to set image for highest screen resolution among them and
it will be automatically scaled to other resolutions under same dpi?
c. If it is needed to set different images for different resolutions
under same dpi, how to differentiate them?
7.3” Foldable – 1536x2152
8” Foldable – 2200x2480
Nexus 5X – 1080x1920​

2) As per this Android link , I have only found the following list for different dpi values. Under which category does 420 dpi fall?

ldpi – 120dpi
mdpi – 160dpi
hdpi – 240dpi
xhdpi – 320dpi
xxhdpi – 480dpi
xxxhdpi – 640dpi​

Thanks and Regards,
Kamal

AdGuard Experience

First of all, I would like to say thank you AdGuard help me block ad in the phone. This is my first time to use AdGuard and I would like to share my experience.
When I have my new phone, I didn't want to root the phone because it will lose the warranty, I'm trying to search some apps can block the ad and control the privacy, somehow I found the AdGuard on Google. Honestly, at that time I was worried about using AdGuard because need connect to VPN, and I had made lot of research and reviews the app. Finally, why not give a shot try to use the app, I downloaded from the AdGuard website after installed in my phone, actually it wasn't difficult to set up, but just need to be patient. After follow the instructions, I'm waiting for the miracle result, I went to browse the website, using the app, social apps, and I found out all the ads disappeared, I went back to AdGuard app, it shows me how many ads have been blocked when I am use the social app and browsing some websites , also I can check the filtering log that's incredible.

The next thing, I want to know about the internet speed because it connects to VPN. I had tested the internet speed, honestly, I don't give too much hope about the speed!!! Well, I was wronged, the app didn't reduce the internet speed also it helps me save data, also I can see on the screen how many data saved from my internet. On the other hand because the app blocked the ad which means the ad will not appear in the phone and reduced the data it helps a lot of people who don't have unlimited plan from the provider.

I guess lot of people consider the battery usage. I can tell the app didn't use battery too much, i had tested the app in one hour and my phone battery remaining same percentage, so the users don't have worry about the battery usage. However, AdGuard app have a lot of features in the settings which are General, Content Blocking, DNS Filtering, Stealth Mode, Browsing Security, Extensions, Network and Advance, if you were an expert I guess you will know how to use the features, if you were first time to use this app don't have to worry how to setup, just follow the instructions and you done. The cooler thing is support dark mode who those people who like dark mode, in my opinion dark mode also reduce battery use and increase beautiful UI.

To summarize, I will recommend people or my friends install AdGuard or for those users who didn't want root the phone. Beautiful UI, easy to setup also the app including premium subscription and the price is not expensive. In addition, AdGuard support windows, Mac, ios and browser extension, for more information and pricing visit www.adguard.com. I would like to say the AdGuard products will not disappointed you.

How to display count of unread notifications on app launcher icon like Facebook/WhatsApp

Is this a launcher app you are creating?
No. This is not a launcher app. The app that I am trying to build is a simple service-oriented app where server side is sending FCM notifications about the new services. The notifications are received by the app and shown in system tray as well as in the list of notifications screen.

I want to show the count of unread notifications on app launcher icon like Facebook/WhatApp does.

These app icon notifications were on my partners screen shot

it also does not have to be just an app notification. websites, if you grant them permission to send you notifications, can also use icons similar to what you have.....so that adds many more icons that they could represent.

we get this question daily, it is really hard to help majority of the time, because there just way too many things that they could be.

the easiest way is to just look on the phone, but then that would be sneaky and going behind someone's back which is not good for the relationship. or you can just be open and ask....but that is not for me tell you how to do that. i am definitely not a relationship expert.

.....good luck

question regarding Samsung smart watches purchased through Verizon

my favorite watch to date was the samsung gear s.

i loved the curved glass. it was eye catching and a great conversation piece.

gear%20s.jpeg


the only thing that sucked was the charger and how it charged. it was not made very well. i would still be using it, if i could get it to charge. the contacts wore out underneath the watch and would not work with any new charging cradle i purchased.......so i had to retire it......i still think i have it someplace.

Is there a difference between the terms OS and ROM?

So what I got out of this is depending on what state the os or rom is in basically dictates the name. Rom is a file waiting to be loaded and executed and once that takes place it become the os/operating system.
yes...you got it.

once the custom rom is flashed it becomes the os, but we still call it by the name of the rom and not what os the rom is based on.
