Hello,
For the stock Web Browser, I know there is a method to make web sites render really like the PC version, I mean like the screenshot below. We use the 'about:debug' url to change some advanced settings (UAString, viewport,...).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I don't know how to do that in Chrome Beta. I waited for the last update which integrates an option to view a web page in 'Desktop mode' but, seems like it changes only the UAString, but not the viewport.
It's very annoying, and I'll continue using the stock browser until I find a solution for that... So if someone know how to fix that... Thanks !
Maybe you can find the answer buy taking a look at the support Page for chrome.. The support page usually provide information and you as a user can give feedback so that they now what to fix.

Crashes
I received the “Chrome Beta is not responding” message on my Asus Transformer Prime.
We’re working on fixing performance issues that occur on specific hardware configurations.
Font and language issues
Fonts are the wrong size after I rotate my device.
Text size should remain the same when you rotate from portrait to landscape orientation, but in some cases will appear too large. We’re working on fixing this issue.
Font size is inconsistent on some sites, such as Reddit and T-Mobile.
We're working on improving the display of non-mobile sites on phones, especially ones that use a large range of styles and fonts.
On tablet landscape mode, the text doesn't respect my font size setting

WOW!
Today got an update and now stock camera supports manual exposure.
First impression is its nice nifty feature to have.
And I feel the picture quality has also improved in the low light, though will have to test it further to be assure.
Now waiting for the day when we have full manual camera supporting Camera2 API.
:good:
Is it just my imagination or does the stock Google Camera app now also support manual exposure?
It had the settings before but to me it always seemed like they didn't have any effect on the Moto X. But now they do.
But I do love the way it is implemented on the Moto Camera. Nifty.
Is there an APK somewhere... I don't have the update. When I check the Google Play listing it has the images for the new camera but I don't seem to be able to access it?

This is internal thing. If manufacturer has locked or didn't provide some features then they won't work in the camera apps, doesn't matter if other camera apps show controls in front end.
Now since Motorola has provided this missing feature, it will work in other apps also.
There are many camera apps which show enormous manual controls like manual ISO, shutter speed etc but none works in MotoX because they are not supported in back end.
Hope Motorola provides all manual controls supported in camera2 API, that will open many more possibilities.
The Google camera app has supported manual exposure for months. You had to enable it in advanced controls. The Moto Camera makes it far more convenient, though.
Apk?
Someone please use astro or something to backup the apk
Comparison between different camera apps
(I think apk can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-motorola-camera-5-0-7-1-material-t3007246)
I did a quick comparison between three different apps.
Here is the full shot with marking of the cropped area. It was taken at 9.30am during a hazy day when only available light was coming from a window covered with white vertical blinds.
View attachment 3325409
Stock camera
Clicked with HDR mode turned off and manual focus turned on. Notice the stickers, they have fine details which are washed out in the course of reducing noise:
View attachment 3325410
A Better Camera
Shooting in normal mode doesn't make any difference. But there is 'Night Mode' in this app which also requires stable hands for few seconds before it clicks the shot. I clicked the same shot using the night mode. I feel its kind of HDR mode where it merges few shots taken in the background, though not exactly sure.
Here noise processing seems much better but slightly over sharpening can also be noticed around edges. We get much more details around focused area but still the washed down effect can be noticed at out of focus areas:
View attachment 3325411
Camera+ (Modified version of stock camera)
There are options to toggle two types of noise processing and I turned off both of them. I also set the JPG compression mode to 100% so I loose slightly lesser data during JPG compression. But images comes out are double in the data size. One image clicked by stock app is around 4 MB but this app saves a file at around 8MB.
There is no noise processing thus we get as much as possible details but this comes at the cost of huge raw grains:

Conclusion : Which one is better app for MotoX?
Answer : No idea, I have always been confused. Stock app is still better suited due to quick accessibility and convenient controls. A better camera can bring out better pics straight out of the phone but its useful only in the situation when subject is stable and you have time to spend on the shot. If you use photo editing softwares on your computers then Camera+ will give you as much as possible data to post process, that ugly looking grain can be easily taken care in the editing software, that too in much better way than the dumb brain of stock camera app.
I have plenty of camera apps in the phone and use different apps in different situations. Though now a days I mostly use stock app due to better compatibility and convenient controls.
For whatever reason the Play Store wasn't updating my phone. I removed the updates I had installed and then went into the play store and updated the app to the newest version. If you have problems give that a try.
Don't know how many of you used it but, with the latest update, HDR lost tap to focus. Not no mention that the addition of exposure control is very finicky and sometimes doesn't do anything. Just a heads-up for those who haven't updated yet.

I tried this with no luck.
here the apk of the last update version of the playstore 5.0.21.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60915675&postcount=377
Couple of days back updated the phone to 5.1 and updated all the apps also. Now the camera has become terrible. The images coming out are having very heavy and unbearable water painting kind of effect.
Why Motorola why?
Previous update with exposure control brought some hope that Motorola caught up right path in improving camera but this new revision is much more terrible and hopeless. :crying:
EDIT:
Putting sample, its 100% crop of an image I clicked few minutes ago in Lollipop 5.1 with camera version 5.0.21.4 :
And here is a pic clicked few days ago in Lollipop 5.0 with same version camera app:
Forcing full screen:
Navigate to Main Screen > Display size under settings and set each app to Full Screen
Force Rotation:
Install the app called Rotation | Orientation Manager by Pranav Pandey from the play store
Set it to Full Sensor OVERRIDE SYSTEM and give it any permissions it asks for.
Set it to Start on boot within its settings.
I expected to, but did not have to, set it to run in the background or tell it to auto boot within battery optimization. It has been working for over a week now.
I turned off notifications so it runs silently.
Thanks for this, its a very useful app! However, I just realised I don't really need it!
When I first setup the Find N, I set every app to Full Screen (as you do), thinking why wouldn't you want as much screen as possible for every app? Some of those apps will only display in portrait, hence the problem that when they start up on the folding screen, they automatically rotate 90 degress, and therefore you have to turn the device to portrait to use the app.
But I just realised that almost all the apps I have (like 99.9%) that will only display in portrait, do not need the extra width of the folding screen, and in fact end up stretched width wise. As such, if you just put those apps back to a 4:3 ratio rather than full screen (which still uses most of the screen), then they display on the folding screen in landscape (though with grey bars down each side). Another benefit is that they also don't look stretched anymore.
Great alternative, thanks.

No worries. Having just been through all my portrait apps and done this, I've also noticed that almost none of them benefit from the extra width even when they have it as they haven't been written to take advantage of it, so are either streched or have loads of space either side. Most are also the types of apps I don't care about using all the screen for, such as banking, parking, or food delivery, etc. All the apps that really benefit from spreading out such as messaging, media, video, and productivity apps, etc., already work in landscape and don't rotate.
I like to use side-by-side when unfolded, so this isn't an issue for me. Would be nice to easily swap out apps when I'm in SBS tho, currently I have to change one to floating, close it, then do the 2-finger ale again...

There is another one called Rotation mentioned above; however, other than I rarely need it anymore, it is not folding phone aware, and therefore you can't have different settings for the outer screen versus the inner screen, so if you force landscape on the inner screen then it will do the same on the outer screen.
Does this app allow you to set different preferences for the outer screen vs the inner screen?

You can swap out apps in SBS if you put them on the pop out sidebar; then you can drag the icon to replace the app in which ever of the side you want.

Ah great, thanks for the info!
I love the forced rotation setting. Is there any way to have the settings attached to the system drop-down settings? For example, if I turn auto-rotate on the phone, it automatically turns on 'Forced Auto Rotate' from the app? Not sure if that's a possibility.
Since the last system update, the app no longer works properly for me. Does anyone else have this problem?
No problem there with ROTATION app

I've been trying to find a fix for my old J3 (2016) that I'm using for a personal project and now I can have it (almost) permanently in landscape mode!!
Thank you for sharing this
Continuing from Part 1.
3. Best ColorOS Features
There are so many personalization features in Reno8 5G, and these are the ones that I like and useful to me.

[Lock Screen Magazine]
I will have a different beautiful image to look at every time I need to unlock my phone. For me, it’s like having a surprise. Also, I can access some news and information related to the image and I don’t need to unlock the phone to access it. If I want to, I can add my own photos to the carousel wallpapers.[Always on Display]
It is interesting that I can add text and image to it. I can put a reminder for other people not to touch or play with my phone
[Google Lens in Camera and Photo Gallery]
Another awesome feature embedded in phone’s camera and photo gallery. As we know, we use google lens to find information on something from an image. Usually, I will need to access the Lens app and work from there. But this time, the Lens icon has already inside the camera and photo gallery. So, I just view the photo from the gallery and press Lens icon, VOILA! The information related to the photo is there. Efficient! Love this!
in Camera appIn Photo galleryResult and tools to search further
In terms of productivity, these are really helpful :
[Multi-screen connect]
It provides seamless connectivity between my laptop and phone, no more cables needed. Moving my files is as easy as select, drag and drop. I can control my phone from my laptop too.
Since Reno8 5G doesn’t have an SD card slot, at certain period, I will need to move some of my files from phone to laptop.
(in Windows 10, drag and drop might not work, so after files are selected from the phone, click send and choose multi-screen connect)
[One-handed mode]
There are instances that I have one hand occupied. And, at the same time, I need to respond to urgent text or access other function. This feature comes very handy to that situation.[Flexible windows – mini mode]
This is useful when I need to work on two apps at the same time[Raise to wake]
I just raise my phone and it automatically brings me to the lock screen. No double tap or pressing side button.[Partial Screenshot]
Before this, I need to crop the full screenshot image if I want to use partial of it. With this feature, I can skip one step. Effective!
I am glad to know that OPPO goes beyond to provide security and protect the privacy of smartphone user. Enable these features are a must!
[Pseudo base station blocking]
In Singapore, we have DNC (Do Not Call) service to block incoming calls and SMSs from tele-marketer, but it does not always work for fraudulent calls/SMSs from scammers. This feature will provide a shield by intercepting messages/calls from counterfeit numbers used by criminals. It is important for me to enable this feature because I am so tired receiving spam calls and messages.[Require password to power off]
This feature is very straightforward. If my phone gets stolen, I still have time to locate it[Privacy Dashboard]
This is like a compilation of which app use what function related to permission given to the apps.
Sometimes I do random a check for location and camera.
I don’t want to see any app with no permission using these two functions.
If I want to change permission for certain app, it can be done from here as well.
Cool features that I am not using (for now) but it’s worth mentioning because they are so awesome and might be useful for me one day.
[Smart notification hiding]
If you feel annoyed by your close one who likes to peep/check your phone when there’s notifications, this feature will save you. If the front camera detects someone other than phone owner is looking at the phone, the content of notification will be hidden. How cool is that?[System cloner]
System cloner will create a separate system for certain app and a separate password is needed to access it. It’s like having 2 rooms with 2 keys in 1 place. I like to have this option, it might be useful for me one day.[Retouch appearance in video calls]
I was intrigued when I found this in settings. When using video call, of course I want to be in my best look. And the Reno8 5G has a setting for that. Currently, it’s only working for Facebook Messenger. Hopefully, it will be extended to other apps, e.g. Zoom, WhatsApp, Instagram.
[Air Gestures]
This is actually a very awesome concept since scrolling through social media has been a part of daily activity. Scrolling without even touching the screen, that is what Air Gestures about. Front camera will detect your palm and flick your palm up or down to scroll.
Air Gestures experience has not been smooth for me. Sometimes the palm motion is not detected so I need to put it at a little odd angle for the camera to detect.
As I said before, this is a very awesome concept, but improvement is needed.

This one is bold is significant, but I suspect it's only limited to oppo apps n china apps..
The F.31 version seems to have had errors.
Therefore, the rollout was probably stopped.
The Security Patch from 5 January was in F.31 too.
I had the battery loading error, Find N showed "Loading" but didn't load.
But overall I like the Laucher the way it is now.
Hi everyone. After installing F32 version the home screen is split in two pages. Does anybody knows the way to get back to the original one page home screen? Thx
No way, its the new Launcher from N2.
