Help Change of Home screen icon

I wrote in a previous post of Locus Map Pro, which I updated on my wife's 'phone recently. The home screen icon shows as an Android robot now instead of usual Locus Map icon.
I attach two screenshots: Screenshot 1 is my 'phone; Screenshot 2 is my wife's 'phone.
Interestingly, my wife's 'phone shows the Android robot for WhatsApp, which I had never questioned until now. Perhaps that should be different, too?
I wonder what dictates an icon's appearance and whether anything can be done in these cases?

My Samsung Galaxy S5 won't turn on with a fully charged battery...

Recently I have broken my S5 charging port, there is no other way but to fix it with a professional. I did not want that since the prices were quite high for my liking. So first what I did was, I used eo charge my phone with a standard micro ish wire but instead of the top there is the red and black wire exposed so I could hook it up to the pins on the back of my phone. This worked perfectly fine and there were no problems until when I hooked it up again, the light at the top left went green and the speakers started to make static noises (remember this as it may have to do with it not turning on). After this happened I decided to buy an external battery charger and another battery (spare one) online. I received the package, I waited the for the battery to charge, put it in my phone and to have a huge surprise of it not working. Now I'm not sure if it was because of the incident from before where the light turned green (which I think it is) or its just the external battery charger not working.
If anyone has any solutions please help me.
Thanks.

How to use different resource files and classes for different configurations at runtime?

I will try to make it simple. I want the app to use two different resource files and java classes based on the configuration user selects. The configuration itself is custom, say configType = "Admin" and configType = "User". I want this to be dealt with the same way as product flavors or locale change works.

We were using 2 product flavors for this purpose, but now we want this to be done at runtime not at build. When we change the config type, the app should start using different resource files and java classes than the other config type uses.

Dumbphone wanted; "No Google", "No NSA". Is it possible?

My 2013 Moto X gen1 from Republic Wireless is now 'call-less'. My MDs can't reach me. It all started with me signing up for a VPN (Trust.Zone) for my desktop/laptop/android mobile phone. Since RepublicWireless defaults to WiFi BEFORE cellular connections, the incoming calls are hitting the VPN & defaulting to "phone is not available/leave voicemail" which most don't bother doing... I never hear the 'ring'/'don't see the missed calls'. Crappy-cheap-service=worthless.
MY CONCERN: Will other carriers also use WiFi (a.k.a. my VPN channel) and incur similar interference? (RepublicWireless tells me even their messaging service depends upon WiFi...)
["Funny." Robocalls/wrong #s don't seem to be 'affected' by my VPN!]

transferring data from iphone to samsung galaxy A50

I just bought my first android phone in over 10 years today. My last three phones have been all iphones. I've been watching various videos on the internet which show the process of transferring data from iPhone to android using smart switch along with a dongle and cable.

I want to keep my contacts, pictures and text messages so this process would be ideal. Unfortunately there is no dongle in the box and would like some advice or guidance as to what is the easiest and hassle free way to port the important information from my iPhone to my new A50?

Help Date format

I noticed for the first time today that the date format in my wife's Locus Map Pro app is displayed as 4/7/2019, while mine is 07/04/2019. I am informed by the developer that there is no facility within the app to set a date format; it relies upon Android.
My wife's mobile 'phone is the same as mine - a 2nd generation Motorola Moto G running version 5.0 Lollipop.
Settings>Date & time are identical. I do not see a date format option, either.
I wonder if such a facility resides elsewhere? If not, how might two identical 'phones differ?

[APP][FREE] Bluetooth audio device widget (A2DP)

Hello,
I would like to introduce you my Bluetooth widget. With this widget you can by one click connect your Bluetooth audio device and play Spotify without going into the settings menu. The app supports A2DP profile, device like portable speakers, sound bars etc.. It is initial release, so I would be grateful for any feedbacks. The app should be available now, or in some markets in few hours.

I hope, that this widget will be useful and different than hundreds bluetooth widgets in google play :-)

How to Start:
1. Pair your audio device (A2DP) in android settings
2. Open app and enable widget for your selected device
3. Add widget on your screen

Regards
Tom

Arcadium [FREE][GAME]

Hi all,

Arcadium is a retro style space shooter game I've been working for an year, and today the game has been released on Play Store as Open Beta!

The game follows the good ol' "get the best score" gameplay, where you will have to defeat hordes of aliens (and bosses) which are generated on the go, making it a unique experience everytime you play! The game also offers a mastery system that lets you permanently improve the spaceship stats or lets you unlock new spaceships!

The game is completely free and there aren't any disruptive ads, so if you have been looking for a nice, fun, simple to play and polished mobile game, I really hope you try this one out <3

Thank you.

Notification Bar Issue

Does anyone else have this issue with the 6T where you go to dismiss a notification and swipe it left or right and then the notification settings pop up in the task bar? It's extremely annoying and I've been trying to figure out how to turn it off or get rid of it. Let me know if there is a solution!

Automatically change to strongest wi-fi

I know this question has been asked in the past, but the answers seems to be outddated.
I have a OnePlus 7 pro running Android 9. In my home I have two wi-fi spots, one on the first floor, and the second on the second floor. Both have the same SSID and the same password. Now when I´m on the first floor I have strong signal on wi-fi spot 1. When I move to the second floor and stands next to wi-fi spot 2, the phone still holds the connection, which are now very poor, to the first spot. If I turn wi-fi off and then on, it chooses the second and strongest wi-fi spot.
I know that I can install apps which takes care of this. But I am not interested in this, since I dont want another app with a process bar icon running all the time, and neither do I want to ask my guests to install apps when they connect to my wi-fi.
In my w-fi settings on the phone I´ve enabled Intelligent wi-fi selector, but it doesent seem to have any effect. I've also tried with a Oneplus 3, but same problem.
I´ve tried the same test with an older Iphone, and it automatically changed to the strongest wi-fi.

So how come this isn´t a standard behaviour on android?

Thanks :)

Help Azpenpc tablet

I have an azpenpc tablet Model A1045DRI which has Android 4.2.2 installed on it. I would like to update it to the latest possible version and install some Android games on it for a young child. I have gone to the About part of settings, and there is no choice to upgrade or update.

I can connect to WiFi with it, but that is about all I can do.

Maybe among other things I might need to access a command line to do some things with it, but I don't know how to do that. If does have a USB mini or micro receptacle on the side of it, as well as a receptacle marked "Micro SD" which I could use to perhaps use to install some app?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Autocorrect is not working

Hello. May I know how to get autocorrect working in gboard? I've already enable all items inside the autocorrect settings page. But when I type words wrong, gboard will just underline my wrong word with a blue line rather than change the word for me. But why?! Gboard can already identify my wrong words, why don't directly change it for me then? :((

Thank you.
