Is it 100% stock? In the stock photos the lockscreen doesn't look the same as the one on my Pixel, with the clock being in the top-left... small detail I know, but I wonder what else is different

Well yes and no, more YES then no, I'll try to explain.
You see, google has their stock android which they send directly from google servers to phones like Nexus and now Pixel models.
Then there is google one program, in which google send again directly from google servers new updates to phones for different kind of brands of phones out there, but not 100% same as pixels stock android (camera app for example).
And there is google go variant, which is another variant of stock android, but it is not send to phones directly from google, instead it is send to brands of phone, like for example nokia, and then nokia has the responsibility to send those new version of android or updates to phones themselves.
So, android one is 98% stock android, there are some exclusives which google keep for their premium phones, and some launcher design changes, but nothing serious.

Thank you very much for the infos, I proceeded to order the Mi A2!

Ok, so I recently updated to Pie and ugh, I wish I hadn't. The audio controls are horrible, you can only change multimedia volume and toggle between ring/silent/vibrate. For the rest you must go to the settings. Oh and the settings button, where did that go? Well now you have to make an additional swipe to get to it because its now hidden in quick toggles.
Now you can't change the WiFi/BT directly from quick toggles like before, you have to go to the settings....
The gestures are half assed as well imo. Either use the onscreen buttons or full gestures so that you don't have anything taking up the screen. Another thing that extremely annoys me is that you can't change the nav button layout, you have to install additional app and grant it permission through adb to move the back button to a more sensible right side. After Pie update the clock is located on left side as well without ability to switch it to the right side. I know that this is probably Googles fault but still, in the end its a problem of this phone too.
Another thing that annoyed me was that there wasn't even a music player on the phone :/

New to Xperia S/Android, some questions remain.

Dear members,
coming freshly to Android and the Xperia S, I've got some questions for which I didn't find an answer, yet, and hope you can somewhat enlighten me.
The phone is LTi26, running 4.0.4, rooted on a reseller contract of Germany's D2/Vodafone.
regarding the Walkman-App, am I just to blind or noobish, or is there really no option to empty the list of currently playing tracks?
at home, I've got EDGE at best and use WiFi, but on the run, I can get 3G/UMTS. Is there a simple toggle/switcher, I can change networks with a single tap, instead of always digging through the menu?
regarding GPS, if it's off and I turn it on, there's always a window popping up, telling me costs may apply, data may be send, etc. Any way to dismiss this window forever?
is it possible to remap the camera button in certain situations? F.e., when the display is off and locked, I'd love to be able to give it a double-tap and have it turn on the camera's flash. Also, if the currently visible and active app isn't the camera app, it would be nice to use this button as a 'back'-button, so I can easily push it with my pinky.
I've read, that AMOLED displays can save power, when they display mostly dark/black colors, IIRC the Xperia S has no AMOLED, but is there a similar possibility? I'm not interested in fancy wallpapers, so it wouldn't hurt me much.
I'm currently happily using the ssLauncher in replacement of Sony's, but in the widget selection, some things don't show up, f.e. the music widget and the 'extras' (on click toggles). Is this a problem of this particular launcher and is there any way to still use them in this launcher?
I've seen a thread with a video, showing how to prick open the phone and be able to exchange the battery, but are there also compatible batteries available which feature a higher capacity?
I've installed the drobear SSHd (no links for noobs), but I'm not able to connect, it always gets a timeout. Not compatibe/config issue(client in question is my Gentoo desktop)?
Other than that, I must say, I'm currently quite pleased with this phone and Android in general. Coming from Maemo, there are still some things I'd like to be able to, but so far it's a good start and so far I'm glad, I didn't opt for the One S or the Droid.
Thanks for your help, regards,
S.D.R

While I'm at it, I'm missing FM transmit functionality, as in I had it with my old phone(N900). As far as I've read, it seems, the chip really only allows receiving in hardware, so not a fully functional module with the transmitting functionality disabled, correct? If that's the case, does someone have experience with fm transmission, as in what pieces of hardware are needed? If it's rather small, I'd love to get on of the bottom pieces, the one with the xperia writing on it, add a 3.5mm jack and the hardware and add it to the top of the phone, but I guess that's wishful thinking?!

Even though it's pure Android I cannot give it more than 3* because Google doesn't want to implement theming in stock Android and by default everything is too whitish and bright. I would love to get Android 4.4 blacks where notification and settings were all white text on black background.

My honest review about the Stock Oreo Update (Open for Debate)

Hello my fellow LG G6 users,
after I got my LG G6 I unlocked the bootloader and installed Fulmics ROM without hesitation. I don't really care about my warranty when I on the other hand have the ability to enjoy the newest LG UX, Magisk with Viper4Android and the iOS Emojis, or the better battery life. Using a AOSP ROM really never came to my mind since it's known for it's bugs, bad picture quality, battery life and so on. So I used Fulmics 4.2, Melina Kernel and Magisk.
With the announcement of Oreo I really got excited for it, but after @xpirt (btw thanks for your work, beginning with the G3) announced that he likely won't continue Fulmics ROM on the G6 this excitement was quickly demolished. I really rely on some of the tweaks of the ROM. But since I really wanted to see the improvements of Oreo so I flashed the Firmware a few days ago.
Starting with the Firmware for the H870. First of all it's hard to even get the newest (20B) since this is the version with the camera improvements and rebranding of the G6. But after installing it I quickly realized that there are many issues with the Oreo build and many missing features you may know from Nougat and the Fulmics ROM.
1. Original icons are not working with the Stock Google Apps. There will always be this white frame around most of the icons, which is not as good looking as before
2. When you're using bluetooth headphones you will get a persistent notification that you can switch your media output between the G6 speakers and your bluetooth output. A so called "feature". I really don't know how to get rid of it, since you cannot silence it. LINK
3. Battery life is the worse I've ever seen, even worse than AOSP Roms. I'm not even a heavy user but I only get around 3hrs Screen On time which is unacceptable for a last year 2017 flagship.
4. Always on Icons like the battery percentage and the battery symbol itself are not removable and they will always be there LINK
5. Neat features like customization of the QS tiles and volume up/down for skipping tracks on your music app are gone
6. Bluetooth connectivity is in general worse, headphones are randomly disconnecting. LINK
7. SD Card issues with the unofficial 20B build on the westwood24 Firmware 20A thread. SD Cards over 32GB seem to be corrupted for the system
8. Some notifications are not getting displayed like the notification badge on the app icons
These are only some of things that really bother me on pure Stock Oreo. Even with Magisk and Substratum installed which are able to do some of the things, Fulmics Tweaks is easily capable of, with many difficulties.
This thread should not blame LG (Maybe a bit with there so called "features") but may warn some of the users on a very customized and good Fulmics Version when they think about switching to the stock Oreo Firmware, since I personally going to switch back to Fulmics.
Feel free to comment possible solutions for the problems (s.o.) or your own experience with Stock Oreo.
I experience none of the problems with stock oreo.
Its way better than fulmics.

Just edited some links into the thread supporting my points. Which problems exactly don't you have with stock Oreo ?
I don't want miss the new 1password function. This is new in Oreo. Security and so on are better with Oreo. No, I don't want go back to fulmics. Fulmics are very nice, but I need the Oreo features.

I have workarounds for some of these problems. I am on unrooted, stock oreo.
1. Custom launcher with an icon pack. Easy solution.
2. You COULD try disabling the bluetooth app with LG Package disabler, which silences the notification. However, things start to break. I figure, since you're rooted, you could do something with Tasker. Just an idea.
3. Debloat. Or, use LG Package disabler. My battery is nowhere near as bad - an average of 4-5hrs SoT, and this seems to work just fine.
4. It's not really a remedy or anything, but I use the app "Glimpse Notifications" instead of AoD, which turns on the screen briefly and shows the notification. It uses very little battery.
5. Never found those useful, and I don't use the stock music app. Aren't QS tiles still customizable?
6. I just don't use bluetooth headphones. We still have a headphone jack, don't you remember?
7. Never encountered this issue because I have a 16gb sd card.
8. Works on Nova just fine. Maybe check the stock launcher's notification permissions.
As much as I dislike this phone, I've just gotta make do with what I have until my contract is up.
Same here. Honestly, I'm not have these issues either.
The only thing that bothers me after the update is the slight but noticeable performance hit, mainly the lag when starting apps that aren't already running in the background.
But I haven't done a factory reset (out of laziness) which might take care of the problem.

I get 5 hrs SOT with 20b. Don't know why one would get three, but the Rom or Oreo are not the reason apparently.
I like the stock ROM, even though I've been using custom on several phones before this one, since it has VOLTE and T-mobile wifi calling. Don't see any lag I have not been able to get rid of.
I agree it's a bummer that the devs have mostly walked out on the G6.

A "few" questions to the s10 Lite owners.

Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.
https://youtu.be/VGiItteDcfw
Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)

You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.

Hi.
I rooted my S10 lite and everything working fine but in settings - phone info I have wrong number model sm-a300f. How can I fix it? Could anyones send me build.prop, please?
Thank you.

change settings menu of 7.1+

going from the "spread" out optins of v7 (v20) to the clown colors of the compressed (menu in menu) v7.1 and onwards, that clown show color theme is horrific.
any way to change it back to the way 7.0 settings menu looked?
its like having the app on the screen instead of finding it amongst other apps in a folder. I hate folders
I also dont like the color theme. is there a monotone theme?
any way to change badges for certain apps on the v30? clock , notes and camera badges are horrible. I prefer very simplistic and clean designs.
I have to say I just don't understand your question. Are you asking about V20, as opposed to V30? And if so about Nougat 7.1, wanting to make it look like Nougat 7.0?
If so, have you considered posting in the V20 forum?
Afraid I don't remember Nougat anymore. Most V30 users are on Pie, while some have chosen to stay on (or roll back to) Oreo. Myself included. But Nougat, that's 3 years ago.
apologies. let me explain again. I have a v20 and v30
the v20 is on v7.0
I love the layout of the settings menu. I like that they have a setting for each thing separately (mostly), unlike the v30 7.1 which has many settings together and you have to go a few menus deep to change things. basically clicking more to get to the setting.
as well, the v20 has a monotone design which is clean. the v30 has a multi colored theme and each settings has different colors. it looks cartoonish and not aesthetic.
so on these 2 fronts it doesnt look good imo.
you can change icon/badges with a theme pack, but what about changing the way the menu looks?
is there a v7 rom for a v30 ? id be happy to use any version as long as I didnt have that multi colored look and clicking so much just to get to a setting.
reminds me of windows 10. everything is swept under a rug and in the settins you cant even find anything because you have to click so much just to find it.
heres an image showing side by side what I had on the right and the new settings menu looks horrible. grouping settings together is like sweeping things under a rug or the "Matryoshka doll" effect

I see, I understand now what you're saying, including that you were comparing V20 v7.0 to V30 v7.1.
Afraid I have no suggestions though. Hopefully somebody does. Personally I never thought of that as an issue.
Are you intent on staying on Nougat? There are many more ROMs and Mods if you're willing to go to Oreo or Pie. And I'm not aware of anything on V30 that worked better on Nougat than Oreo, at least not anything significant.

Instead of trying to go further back into the past (even earlier Nougat), you should update to at least last stock Oreo (8.0) firmware. So many new features and fixes were given during that era over flawed Nougat. Camera features, etc. You couldn't pay me money to go back to Nougat.. The only reason people use Nougat is temporarily when Frankenstein flashing (converting) to another North American variant. Then quickly ditching that for last Oreo or Pie.
I'm not a big fan of the V30 stock Pie (9.0) firmware myself, but others like it. But everyone agrees that last Oreo was stable, feature filled magic. If you are rooted, on last Oreo you even get DTS 3D Surround Stereo feature (in the firmware but hidden, has to be activated with root).

that green nasty dialer color is absolutely disgusting. when you call someone and the screen turns green. its horrible. it ruins my eyes. I cant stand it. it drives me absolutely crazy, instead of white, now I have this hideous annoying green. I thought android was about use customizing and here it is working completely against me
I dont want oreo or anything besides 7.0
I had issues since updating
ill take the primitive old design then anything from 7.1. its a crap gui. absokutely stupid and way way more intrusive. everything is hidden menu under menu.
im actually considering getting a dumb phone just for calls and text and a simple garbage phone for anything else. ive stopped surfing on a phone as i cant block ads and cant find a proper browser that blocks ads AND stays on desktop agent mode as default for all sites. its crap. screw opera. no more. adblock browser is crap brave is crap. they either do one or the other
but agaun, that ugly asz android 7.1 and up has a horrible gui. and who the hellk thought to turn a screen fully green to make calls is good?
