Help Treatment by Android of .mov and .mp4 files

Bob Hawkins
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A for my wife in April. I set myself the task of transferring her pictures and videos from her superseded iPad mini and Motorola Moto G 4G 'phone into a new folder structure on the Samsung tablet. I find such operations far simpler to carry out in conjunction with my desktop PC.
I decided to place videos into the same folders as the static images so that everything relating to one holiday, say, was in the same location, rather than duplicating the whole folder structure for videos. I do not know whether this is an accepted practice.
I believe the videos on the mobile 'phone and WhatsApp images, for example, are in .mpg format. It seems that video images from the iPad mini are in .mov format*. The .mpg4 files show as picture thumbnails on the tablet but the .mov files as icons only, which is somewhat frustrating.
I wonder if others share this experience and whether anything constructive might be done to overcome it

* Is .mov an Apple format only, or does it occur elsewhere?

Huawei P30 Pro first day battery drain. Is it normal?

P
Hello guys.

I just bought today my p30 pro.

I opened it and the battery was at 64%.

I setup my phone etc for some time and the batterywent after some hours to 50%.

Then I put the phone aside and picked it up after about an hour and the battery was at 42%.

Nothing was happening at the background, no downloading no synching etc.

Is it something normal because it was the first usage of the phone after opening it? After the first fully charge I will give it, is it something that will not happen again?

Thanks in advance.

Missing Photos?

CoconutWater
Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to recover missing photos on my phone? so yesterday i was clearing out and organizing things in my phone's internal memory. My phone was connected to the computer since i find it much easier to organize using it. There was this one folder containing at least a thousand and five hundred photos that i moved from one folder into the DCIM folder but still inside my internal memory. so i cut, then pasted the folder inside the DCIM folder. the problem is it was taking so long, the loading bar is not making progress at all, when normally moving folders around lasted for like seconds even with bigger sized folders. so i decided to cancel the move. then next thing i know the folder went missing. so i pulled out my phone off the computer and checked. I looked into my gallery and my folder showed up, but there were two of them. the one containing 999 photos and the other containing only twelve. i checked my files folder but only one of the folder shows up. the one with the 999 photos in it. same goes when i check on my computer, the only folder that shows up is the one containing more photos. but what about the rest that went missing? and how can i get it back? really would appreciate the help.

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 ?

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
