Well I decided to not leave the Orbic scene after seeing the groundbreaking breakthrough by @noidodroid where he managed to network unlock a Verizon variant Orbic for GSM usage. Truly impressive, and very much looking forward to the method for how to do that. To celebrate such an occasion I bring to you all yet another recovery. Sorry for so many recoveries, but it's all we can do now since we don't have proper sources yet to build a ROM or something

This is OrangeFox Recovery. Think RedWolf but orange. And also MTP works apparently so thats cool

WHAT WORKS/DOESNT WORK:

Gonna be the same as my RedWolf one probably... phone shows up as a Redmi 3s because of the nature of dirty ports, and oem/vendor won't mount but everything else should (if data doesn't you need to flash the disable-verity zip and factory reset)

DOWNLOADS:

LINK TO THE ORANGEFOX FOLDER ON THE REPO. There's two files, a standard recovery image to flash in fastboot and a flashable zip you can flash in another custom recovery. I'm not sure if the flashable zip works though so use with caution, but the flashable zip version will provide some other additional cool tools to play with if it does work
LINK TO THE REST OF THE REPO TO SEE ALL OUR OTHER STUFF
Again I can't give source code for anything unfortunately because we're working with dirty ports here (because we ourselves have no source code for the phone or we'd be doing this the right way) but please feel free to use any and all of my images on the repo above for anything you want. It's a community effort here to get this phone pulled away from the dark side of the force

THANKS TO:

Team Orbic for restoring my faith in this phone and the project, and for testing this out too since I don't have an Orbic to work with myself
XDA user zhantech for making OrangeFox for the Redmi 3s which we ported it from
Carliv Image Kitchen for letting me do all these gnarly dirty ports

Hi all,
Is there any app that can be used to detect movement on what is being displayed on the screen. So not using the front or rear camera.

The use case is a wireless endoscope camera, you connect to the wireless signal and it streams the feed direct to your phone (not connected to internet, just 30m away from the transmitter box). I want to then leave my screen open and if there is any movement on the screen for it to alert me.

I understand it will drain battery having the screen on for hours but I dont mind that, its for watching wildlife.

There is no app available that will connect to my endoscope camera that also has motion detection and the only way I can think of getting this to work is having a second phone pointing at the first phone and have the motion detection on the second phone haha. If i can do it all on one phone that would be great but not sure if there is any app that will notify me of changes in the feed of an app, or change of the display.

Any ideas?

Just thought I'd write a short review of an app aptly named Shortcut Creator which I’m using on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 I recently purchased from T-Mobile. I was looking for a simple to use app that would allow me to put shortcuts to specific folders & files onto my home screen because I don’t want to go digging through my settings file folder menus to access media files that I frequently use. I tried several different kinds of short cut creators but found they either were not suitable for my purposes or they were too complicated to set up. I finally discovered this app on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alextern.shortcuthelper and I love it! Shortcut Creator is very easy to use and it let me put shortcuts to songs, photos, videos and documents on my home page. I definitely recommend this app.

As my wife is disabled, I need a Qi charging station that positions the Nexus 7 Wifi-only (2013) tablet and also an external receiver coil that I'll have to purchase as well. The external coil must be precisely positioned on the back of the Nexus 7 WiFi-only (2013) tablet to match the station's coil -- and as far as I can see the add-on receiver coils don't give you flexibility in positioning the coil. That means the station and the coil must be matched with respect to the Nexus 7 WiFi-only (2013) form factor.

So, I go off to search but then a big problem is that Amazon's search restrictions (left column) don't let you specify Nexus 7 compatibility. Entering "nexus" as a search term doesn't seem to matter either. Moreover, even if I found one or the other, I'd be risking taking shipment on 2 items that aren't geometric matches.

I've considered manufacturing a charging alignment frame as in

but it seems someone somewhere must have something like this for sale. Moreover, it seems someone somewhere must have an external receiver coil kit for the Nexus 7 WiFi-only (2013) that precisely positions the coil to match the position of the Nexus 7 (2013) phone tablet's internal receiver coil.

I was driving home and all of sudden my spotify music stopped playing through my car. It is still connected via bluetooth and still showing the song title on the display, but audio is playing through my phone. Ive tried clearing my bluetooth cache, resetting my phone, turning airplane mode on and off etc. Under bluetooth options the audio is turned off, but wont turn on when i press it. Any advice?

Hi everyone. I have a problem with build-in video player in Chrome.
For such sites, as m.youtube.com it's work correctly and looks like this:
It worked for site yummyanime.club as too.
But some days ago video player suddenly stopped working on this site in Chrome and other browsers. Instead, the video is played in the same player as on the computer (although I use a mobile version of the site). It looks like this:
Player stopped working only on this site.
It is inconvenient player on my phone. I want to use a player like in the first screenshot. I was surprised when I opened this site on my other old phone, and there this mobile player works:
In short, the problem is this: the mobile video player suddenly stopped working on a certain site on my new phone. This is a problem for all browsers. But on my old phone, everything works fine.
About system in old(correctly work) and new phone(have bug) accordingly:
So, main question is how to fix this problem and enable mobile video player on new phone? But I will be grateful for any information about this: how this mobile player work, does it have any settings, related links and so on.

Hi

So I am aware that you can share your Internet connection with another android device via portable hotspot but my question is can you do the same for phone calls, sms and WhatsApp messages?

My situation is that I have a seperate phone in my car that's connected to Android Auto, my maon phone is not compatible with Android Auto. I share my 4g with the phone so I can stream Spotify and download map data.
I would like my phone calls to come through the cars speakers... Is this possible?

Thanks for any help

I've been trying to find some lyrics and have been using Allmusic Metrolyrics and others with no luck. What are some better alternatives? The main lyrics I'm trying to find are for Another Silent Day by The Adventures.

when I multi-tab out of a game (got to a browser or check out a game ad from the game itself) then come back, my game has to reinitialize again. Is there a setting I can check to prevent that from happening, or is it a game dev issue?

Ityxtoru · May 8, 2019

I have taught myself some basic programming (C, C++) as a hobby. But I often hear these days that people (professionals and hobbyists) develop mobile applications, games etc. for iPhone and other popular hand-held devices on their own. I am also interested in developing a small app or two for own mobile. I need to know the following, please guide me.

1. Am I right in selecting Objective C as my way of developing games and apps for my own mobile? Is Objective C the best choice?

2. Which are the best books for learning Objective C language?

3. Are there any good sites that offer Objective C tutorials?

4. Is there a free IDE/development tool for developing apps for my mobile in Objective C? I will be using my Linux machine only with either Ubuntu or Fedora, no Windows, so the IDE has to be Linux compatible.

5. Once I have develop something using an IDE on my Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) pc, how do I transfer the same to my mobile or other hand-held device?

6. What is the best way to start? Send me your suggestions.

Thanks.

Hey (I don't think my last post was sent so re-posting).

I have parents living in a foreign country to mine. What I want to achieve is basically a local phone number in my parent's country (that I will control).

I was thinking of somehow setting up a local rooted Android phone or even a modem/gateway sort of device, anything really that can use a local SIM of the foreign country and make calls and kind of let me connect/conference those calls with me on the other end with VoIP.

So essentially, I call a device I setup and connect to internet at the foreign country. That device has a SIM installed and it can call in that country easily through the PTSN network/any mobile. Then I first call that medium device and that device forwards my call using its own Sim/the PTSN network via the sim.

How's this possible? Can I somehow merge my voice and send it down to the PTSN network through that middle device?

Cuz doesn't a Bluetooth device do similar thing? Well a Bluetooth headphone can also send voice with its mic and receive data, but of course it uses BT connection with phone, I wanna change BT to Internet Service

Thanks

Can you suggest keyboard for Android, which you can set to display uppercase latter only, like here on iPhone:

https://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/09/18/how-to-keyboard-uppercase-iphone-ipad-ios-9/

I tried Gboard, Swiftkey, Cheetah Keyboard, but they don't seem to have this sort of feature.

Or if they do have, please advice how to find it.

As a developer i try to innovate new ideas and new ways to keep my users of my GamerROM OS to keep on using the OS, however currently i'm working on an update that makes receiving updates easier through OTA (Over-The-Air), however how do you update your rom's and do you plan to use OTA's to update your roms?

gschadow · May 7, 2019

My wife has had a Samsung Galaxy J7, and one fine day we were visiting New York City, where, to make more photos, we went into a pretty solid looking phone store and bought what seemed like a genuine SanDisk SD card. It was not some cheap crap from a sidewalk sales scam. Once she inserted that card, it gave problems, never worked well, some fraudulent fake. But worse yet, it infected her phone with a viciously virulent virus which we could never again get removed. Brought it to several technicians already, but they were unable to fix it. Factory reset, of course, several times, and every time the virus is there. I am almost certain that these technicians tried to flash the firmware also, yet the virus crap keeps coming back.

What could this be? I am flabbergasted. Is there really some corner of memory that is completely unreachable by factory reset and flashing the firmware? Could be that it somehow hooks itself into the thing that is used to lock the phone onto a specific provider, that too doesn't go away by flushing firmware. So, what is the approach to get rid of this virus, or is it that one must write off that phone as a total loss?

IMO this is a reason not to buy mainstream brands of phones. I bet with my Xiaomi phone this could never have happened. Right?

katiedaniels · May 7, 2019

I need help and Advice.

Today, I went to transfer my pictures off my phone to my computer. Something I have done hundreds of times. My SD card was out of storage, so I copied and pasted my photos from my phone to my file folder on my desktop (I sort them and put them on an external). Well.. I accidently cut and pasted the photos to start. Then I went to open them once the transfer was complete.. and NOTHING!!! My photos have sorta transferred and wont open. Each picture is 48.2GB and with all the pictures and videos its says its 148TB.

Im not a genius, but I know this is so so wrong. How can I fix this?
