So a while ago, I found some LG G2x and I want to use them, the ting is that both have problems.

1. One of my G2x has a problem where if I plug in the phone to a wall and try to turn it on, it would show LG logo then the screen would turn black and it would do that repeatedly. If I unplug it, then it does not even work. It never charges and never turns on.

2. My second G2x never even charges at all, the charger fits perfectly, but nothing happens.

Any help?

Please respond if you know a possible way to fix these problems.
I want to use my G2x again.

Change Screen Sensitivity

R
After installing some tempered glass, i am having the age old challenge of lowered screen sensitivity on my Galaxy S8. Cant seem to find a way to change anything in settings other than changing the hardpress home button setting which as far as i can tell has done nothing. I even tried a screen calibration app that also seemed to do nothing.

Anyone know any work arounds or fixes? Maybe another app you know that works or something that can be changed at a deeper level than I have gone. (rooting???)

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Tasker math expression does not evaluate

A
Hi,

I use an expression
if (%TIMES-%Offtime)
...
Endif
%TIMES = builtin variable of current time (e.g. 1560123456)
%Offtime = a variable set by me which contains an earlier time e.g. 1560000000.

which does not work, it appears that arithmetic expressions are not supported.
E.g when I log %TIMES-%Offtime then I see literally "1560123456-1560000000" instead of 123456 which is the numeric result.

Documentation of Tasker lacks anything about how to use arithmetic expressions.

How should I use them ?

keytouch vibrations are not responding to turn off

Galaxy Note 9 Last updated to N960USQS1CSD1, April 17

Sorry about the well trod question, but the answers on my google searches are not working for me.

Summary:
Attempting to turn off the slight vibration I feel when pressing keys.

Details:
I've been to `Settings' > 'Sounds and Vibrations' > 'System sounds and vibration'

Keyboard Sound OFF
Keyboard Vibration OFF
Touch Vibration OFF
But still have the key touch vibration

Apparently there are more setting involved, or something else I'm missing?

My new battery is not charging upto 100 percent

O
I just replaced the battery in my Lenovo K6 Power. Now my new battery isn't charging upto 100 percent. Once it reaches anywhere between 95 to 98 percent, the battery stops charging and the phone displays the "Charge complete" message. The battery is also loosing its charge much quicker than before.
The tech who changed the battery has no clue how to fix it. He had told me to charge the phone after switching it off, which didn't help. He had also suggested that I take the phone back to factory settings which again wasn't able to fix the issue. I've tried changing it using a new charger and different sockets but nothing seems to work. Please suggest how can I fix the problem?

Adding text to an imageview in a BaseAdapter

P
I have a BaseAdapter I am using to put up some images in a gridview which will be used for categories of a sort. When adding the adapter to the gridview I can currently only get the images to show up on my activity. I would also like to have a small text box below the image with the name of the category. So the finished grid will be something like 2x6 with an image of lets say a movie and the name of the movie under the image. My adapter code currently looks like below. What's the easiest way of adding some text below the images?

Code: 
package com.example.recommended

import android.content.Context
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.BaseAdapter
import android.widget.ImageView
import com.example.recommended.R
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.list_item.view.*

class ImageAdapter internal constructor(private val mContext: Context) : BaseAdapter() {

    // References to our images
    private val mThumbIds = arrayOf(
        R.drawable.sample_0,
        R.drawable.sample_1,
        R.drawable.sample_2,
        R.drawable.sample_3,
        R.drawable.sample_4,
        R.drawable.sample_5,
        R.drawable.sample_6,
        R.drawable.sample_7)

    override fun getCount(): Int {
        return mThumbIds.size
    }

    override fun getItem(position: Int): Any? {
        return null
    }

    override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long {
        return 0
    }

    // Create a new ImageView for each item referenced by the Adapter
    override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup): View {
        val imageView: ImageView
        if (convertView == null) {
            // if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes
            imageView = ImageView(mContext)
            imageView.layoutParams = ViewGroup.LayoutParams(300, 300)
            imageView.scaleType = ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP
        } else {
            imageView = (convertView as ImageView?)!!
        }

        imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position])
        return imageView
    }
}

[DISCONTINUED] /e/ Pie for Payton

/e/​

As always, you take responsibility for what you do to your phone. Don't go filing civil lawsuits against me if your alarm fails to get you up for work in the morning.

The Hell's An /e/?
"/e/ is a non-profit project, in the public interest. We build open-source mobile operating systems that respect users’ data privacy. We’re an international core team of experienced entrepreneurs, developers and designers, and a growing community of contributors." --taken from their website.

Basically think Lineage AOSP but instead of just leaving gapps out of it, they're trying to take it a step further and really give Google the finger. Their ultimate goal for the future is to make a mobile OS featuring an entire ecosystem (/e/cosystem?) that respects users' privacy and avoids the "big-companies-that-sell-your-data". They will have alternatives to the most popular Google services baked in: F-Droid instead of Google Play, something like Telegram instead of Google Hangouts, Lawnchair instead of a proprietary Google launcher, etc. As of the time I'm writing this message this is still really early on in the /e/ project though, so don't expect too much just yet.

What Works?
Exactly the same as what's in Lineage 16 for Payton, WITH THE ADDITION OF VIPER AUDIO (YOU NEED TO USE V2.7.X FROM MAGISK THOUGH)

What Don't Work?
There's no market for apps built in yet (or web browser) so be prepared to sideload your own APKs over ADB to get that stuff on for now, until I fix it in a new build

Where's My Source Code, and How'd You Build this?
Don't worry, this took me forever to find too. I used the v1-pie branch which is Lineage 16.0 based

Here's the roomservice XML I used so you don't have to manually add all the trees yourself:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="LineageOS/android_device_motorola_payton" path="device/motorola/payton" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_device_motorola_sdm660-common" path="device/motorola/sdm660-common" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_kernel_motorola_msm8998" path="kernel/motorola/msm8998" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_packages_resources_devicesettings" path="packages/resources/devicesettings" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_external_bson" path="external/bson" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_system_qcom" path="system/qcom" remote="github" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" />
</manifest>

To get the custom /e/ apps in your build you have to edit the portion of vendor/lineage/config/common.mk that talks about "Custom CM Packages". Go to /prebuilts/prebuiltapks for a list of folders' names you can add to this list. Note that not everything will add properly, and adding some things may mess up your ROM, so experiment at your own risk

Where's My Download Link?
  • MY MEGA BUILD FOLDER
  • To run this ROM you need to have installed Pie stock firmware for the phone. If you were on Oreo stock and never upgraded before flashing this ROM things will probably break. Look for the latest firmware for you specific variant HERE.

Who Should You Give a Special Thanks To?
  • The /e/ team (including but not limited to Gael Duval)
  • All the guys here on the payton forums for their hard work in building the trees for this thing
  • @bcrichster for showing me how to get the /e/ apps to build with the ROM on this thing so I don't have to steal from AOSP anymore, also for letting me steal his manifest to build with
  • XDA user erfanoabdi for his excellent work maintaining Lineage 16 trees for Payton to get this thing stable

Help Galaxy A5 no longer able to connect to vehicle via BT

R
I was having some issues with my wifi recently, so I performed a reset on my network settings. This fixed my wifi issue, but now my Bluetooth no longer works with my vehicle.

I have a Boss BT speaker that I was able to pair after some headache, but I just can't pair my phone with my vehicle anymore.

The vehicle in question is a 2015 Acura MDX that doesn't have Google software installed. I was able to pair my phone in the past. I would set my vehicles audio source to BT, and my phone would detect "HandsFreeLink" (which is the BT name of the vehicle), and they would pair.

Now, I'm not sure if my phone sees my vehicle. When I search for BT devices, it never shows "HandsFreeLink" anymore. It just shows a list of MAC addresses. I'm not sure which represents my vehicle. I tried connecting to all of the ones in range (it shows a lot no matter where I am.. I should drive out to the desert and scan from there to make sure I just see my vehicle I guess).

I will randomly get message pop ups on my screen saying HandsFreeLink wants to pair with my phone, and will give a key number, but sometimes I can't click "ok" before it disappears, and other times I click "Ok", but it still fails to pair.

What I've done so far to try to fix it:

1) I've reset the settings again. No effect.
2) I've cleared my BT cache. No effect
3) I've ensured my phone is visible. No effect
4) Rebooted the phone (obviously). No effect.

I am at a loss at this point. I don't know what else it could be, and can't imagine resetting network settings would destroy Bluetooth functionality on my phone.

Any help would be appreciated!

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge FRP Locked&SW REV. check fail Device:4, Binary:3

V
Hey guys, I recently tried to root my phone, went kinda wrong --> my phone got stuck in boot loop. I had to root it correctly to make it work again. Now, I wanted to buy something online but I couldn't bcs that came with the root or something? I got the notification to switch on OEM and something else with USB so, I did, without knowing to turn it off again. After a few weeks, visited another country but didn't got signal and stuff so I thought it would help if I'd put my phone off and back on. Y'all be facepalming right now, for sure. And yeah, I shouldn't have tried to root it in the first place because I had almost no knowledge about any of this so please spare me. Well, as you all know probably, I got the message that my FRP is locked so I tried to unlock it, using forums like these ones and others. They all said the same things but somehow they don't work with me. I downloaded a few Odin version because they all got stuck in SetupConnection or failed. I have downloaded the stock firmware and did everything I should (I think).
I downloaded this firmware:
[URL="https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model/?record=9A306FC2821911E9951FFA163EE8F90B"[/URL]

Like I said, I downloaded a few Odin version because I read somewhere that if your device has Android 8.0.0 or higher, your Odin had to be Odin3_v3.13 or higher. So I did, I downloaded 2 higher versions (Odin3_v3.13.1 and Odin3_v3.13.3) but also Odin3_v3.12.3. I tried my firmware on all of them but it keeps saying "FAIL", I know that's because it's not the right firmware but idk which other it could be then...

Also, does that new message I've got have impact on certain things? "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 4, BINARY: 3

I've spend hours and hours searching for a solution but there's always something in my way. And yes, I downloaded the Samsung USB driver and stuff, I tried the Samsung Switch method but the app doesn't 'support this device'. I've seen guys with the same problem getting send from one link to another to download things, I'm willing to delete all I've already downloaded before if it just works... I feel like apologizing for doing stuff I didn't know much about. Please let me know if I explained something poorly, my head is just everywhere it shouldn't be right now. Thanks in advance.

Column layout

Greum
I have the following layout which is fine for portrait layout on a mobile. For landscape mode I want to have the two columns side by side (even though they are a different length). I'm wondering what the best way to achieve this would be. (If it was a web page I would use CSS columns but I'm not sure there is an Android equivalent.)
