I really like the screen lock/unlock sounds that are present by default in the Huawei P30 series phones. If there's anyone with one of those phones who's also rooted, could you please take the /system/product/media/audio/ui folder and send it here? If someone could do this I would really appreciate it since I have been looking for those sounds for a long time and haven't found them anywhere.

Ok, I came from iPhone 4 and now when I want to send a photo in my Gmail app it does not resize them, sends them in 8 mpix !!! Are they so stupid that they cannot copy that feature from iOS or I am stupid and dont know how ? Basically, when I add photo on iPhone it asks me if I want small, medium, large or original and on every mode it says how big it would be, like "Small (96 KB)". Now I have sent one photo and it has sent 2,5 Mb which is insane.
Any help for this ?
Tnx
It is not a feature of the Gmail app. If you want to resize, you'd have to do it first using a different application.
Tnx, and then people call iPhone dummy phone, yea right, so much normal things are missing on Android. Today I also realized that I cant go oflline in Facebook chat on my phone, maybe I can but as soon as I get in the Facebook app again then I am again online for good, I really think that iOS app developers are waaaay smarter and more polished than Android app developers, and also have better taste because EVERY app looks nicer when it is for iOS, is it so hard to take some nice looking font and colors so the app looks nice. Obviously it is. Only thing that is better is Handcent app.
Sounds like you bought the wrong phone.

I think so too by the sound of it, but wait - imagine not being able to change your homescreen or even worse the battery,etc,etc the list goes on!!!
I come from white iPhone 4 to white SGS II ) I am realistic, there are basic things that iPhone is missing but surely there are basic things that Android is missing, at least in 2.3.3 version, I hope ICS will be better. But that aside, the look of iOS apps are not comparable to Android. Can someone explain me if the same developers are making lets say Skype, why they cant make them IDENTICAL !? If they cannot make it identical inside, why do they change the look, colors and font and Android ALWAYS looks worse, I dont get it, it looks like only iPhone users are classy people and Android users are second class, like stupid old Symbian which became offense to intelligence how old it looked and costed like something on top.
And that Facebook app on Android cannot be in the same sentence with iOS app, the look, the functionality, the speed.
Well if that is so then you should return to an iphone. No one should really stick with something they don't like.
$1 gets you a reply
So here is forbidden to talk about Android flaws !? I thought that iPhone users are blind sheeps and now it seems that Android has some blind folowers ! If something is bad than you should be a man/woman and openly say it, not hide it and think that you have the best phone in the world., jeez. Ive told that both of those OS have flaws and that is opinion of every normal man, only idiot can tell that there is a phone that is pefect.

You have a very aggressive writing style. No-one has said you can't talk about a "flaw" (it's not by the way, it's a feature request), we just can't change it.
If you want it changed, voice your opinion to Google. Venting with flame bait here isn't going to get you a new feature added.
No, we're not forbidden to talk about Android flaws. And nobody here claims their phone is perfect.
It just seems that Android pisses you off enough that the SGS2 shouldn't be the phone for you to use on a daily basis.
I hear the resale value for the iPhone4 is still pretty good. Probably best to sell it and then get the iPhone 4S.
Sorry if it sounded aggressive but when I tell that something is stupid on my phone most of the answers are go back on iPhone, I didnt tell that iPhone is better overall but I know what I miss from it and I dont like it because I cant have that now, there iz no Cydia which could make those tweaks.
I have waited for iPhone 5 and when I saw this s**t called 4S I immediately went for SGS II even tough Ive had BAD experience with SGS I, this one is not comparable with the first model.

Hi, I am just searching for a good Android watch, which is most important for use during meetings (not getting the phone, but just to decide to ignore phone calls or take the important ones in one view) and for fun in my spare time.
I know it is a bit geeky to wear something, but this one is less ugly than most of the other watches I found for Android.
I just found this website http://www.wimm.com/wimm_preview.html
Just curious if some one uses this or found an ever better looking watch.
Money is not the issue, it is for my birthsday so my wife pays for it!!!
I saw Sony Smartwatch, but I didn't like the design of that...
So, just looking for a good watch working with our device...
What do you suggest?
I have no idea where we are supposed to post in these forums but from previous phone models I've had (and I've had a fair few!) people have been able to make requests of developers or ask how to do things especially to do with further customisation of their phone.
With each new model of phone coming out there is less and less ability for the end user to change the look of their device. I'm not talking about wallpapers and lock screens, I'm talking about changing fonts, colours and icons.
I really miss one of the first phones where I was able to do this through a theme editor- the Nokia N95, heck I even miss being able to flash my 3230! I remember when g-mask was around and I was able to personalise it even further by getting an outer skin applied complete with a couple of swarovski crystals. At least I could tell it was mine, there was no other like it and the mask lasted until my brother inherited the phone and I upgraded which was a few years.
I also miss the emotional connection I had with my HTC Desire HD, turning the crappiest day around with humour by taking photos of family and friends with the warped/mutated/distorted option (unbeknownst to them), showing it to them and watching their facial expression after they make a double take of the image. Some would laugh, some would cry and others would get very angry.
As much as the focus is on the clean simple look of Lollipop on my Samsung S6 Edge, I don't like the fact they've even taken away the option of having stickers to put next to events in S-Planner. So what if people don't use them, doesn't mean you have to take that option away!
At the moment too it seems as though each variant is receiving its own set of options, making it harder for us as a group to help each other and adding confusion. Has this always been the case with Samsung? Thinking back to the Nokia, they were usually manufactured in one place meaning you could flash pretty much same radio for international version despite people being with different carriers.
I can't install custom recovery, yet some of my Aussie counterparts on here can and it all seems very strange and mysterious! In fact this is the first phone I'm scared I might turn into a brick and that's never happened.
Really hoping more developers take interest in the edge as contrary to what I thought, it's not just an elite s6. We can't even use the same firmware or take the same advice given in their forums as it's not applicable.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not liking that I don't love my phone as much as I have loved some of my other phone's in the distant past..right now it's just a tool and nothing more. I want to love my phone again!

will read this in the evening again..ATM at work..but you are right..but the old good desire days are gone..sadly..
edit..really miss the old days..but people make it to topic number 1 security holes and together with more and more phones sooner..it makes the situation you feel

I didn't think you could unless you could get custom recovery? Didn't realise you could flash s6 to me either, from what I've been reading everywhere had said do not do it on the edge.

Indeed Alex-V, unfortunately a phone is only a short term investment now until a new and better one comes along. In my case, each phone with the hope that better happens...only reason I got the edge was for the camera and I was on one of those new phone feeling plans so could keep my s5 but thought s6 edge would be same but improved. Hoping some devs jump on board soon. I'd love to learn how to do all these things myself.
EMUI sure is strange when it comes to support for themes or modifications of any kind to the interface. Without the 3rd party support of an entire host of apps to make changes actually possible, the stock 'theme app' is entirely useless. Okay, so you have to install a spammy app for theme support. Then you need to install another one for fonts, and to actually be able to change them. Then you install a few more, all of which can't directly do anything but inject imported stuff into the official app. Pro tip, you always need to kill the official app before launching it from these 3rd party apps - or the app won't see your new stuff.
That would all be fine, and manageable, but the way EMUI handles themes in general is too broken to bother. Their own official 'dark themes' are broken beyond use, and so are the 'PRO' 3rd party ones. There is no point in forcing a dark background to apps if you aren't going to ensure that the font colour of those same apps or EMUI dialogue menus isn't going to adjust to contrast it. In other words, you can really screw yourself over to the point where you can't even read anything to undo the damage. Crank your brightness to max if this happens.
Even that could be worked around with enough tinkering, but what *cannot* be fixed is the way EMUI handles the onscreen nav icons. For one thing, WHY don't these automatically slip away for ALL apps, and in the OS itself?! They do for games, and they most certainly do for any decent Rom made in the past five years. Nope, instead they are just stuck there like a sore thumb ALL THE TIME outside of games, and this makes something like the dock in Nova Launcher just look terrible. Yeah, and if you haven't used a Rom that makes these disappear properly all the time, wow you don't know how much better it is supposed to be.
That isn't the real problem, though. What makes all of this meaningless is that the OS/EMUI fails to automatically adjust the outline colour of these icons depending on what you are doing. With a gray or fire type theme, it looks fantastic on the homescreens. Sadly, anything you load that falls back to a black background for dealing with fullscreen/aspect ration issues makes the icons disappear altogether. There is no way to fix this, period. It is irritating beyond measure. Don't get me started on how broken that 'sorta fullscreen' implementation is, I can list a dozen AAA+ games for Android that result in you being completely locked out of bringing back the nav icons in either mode. Again, other Roms have figured this stuff out years ago, since Huawei knew they were going to have a wonky aspect ration and the need to dance around a notch... There is no excuse for this.
I am holding out hope for Roms now that we have unlocked bootloaders back on the menu, and what looks like working TWRP/Magisk support. In the meantime, I give up trying to make the phone pretty. I know I could hack and slash at various things in ADB to force fallback to 8.x style nav stuff/gestures along with various different launcher tweaks to get around this, but I don't need the headache. Come on Huawei, this is a flagship phone on what is supposed to be cutting edge and mature OS. Why do major pieces of the UI feel like drunken alpha release code?
How much theming is available on Pixel phones which are supposed to offer the best and most pure Android interface? None whatsoever unless you decide to root the phone and use Substratum. As far as I know Pixel phones still don't have a native dark mode.
Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei are pretty much the only companies that offer theming options on their stock ROMs.
Out of curiosity, exactly what stock ROM are you comparing the supposedly broken theming on EMUI to?
I have seen your posts and you seem to pretty much only start threads when you have something negative to say.
If you hate Huawei phones there are plenty of other options.
Solution: Don't buy Huawei, buy Nokia Symbian

You've "seen my posts" have you? Wow. I don't remember saying anything about 'stock roms'. I also don't remember saying I hate Huawei phones. I'll just pm you my login information and you can make my posts for me, okay? Just don't criticize the way Huawei handles themes, though. WHAT ABOUT YOUR PIXEL STRAWMAN?!
Hello hello! My name is John,
I'd like to say I've been in and out of XDA on off for years and you guys really know your stuff. although I don't understand a lot of what you guys are saying and this is the whole point of this post I would like to learn. I honestly believe I'm in the right place and I'd like you and especially XDA for being here! It's about time somebody did something in the Android market to give us back control of our phones!
I have the worst luck with cell phones if it's not stolen I'm sure to break the screen. I got really good with computers and would like to learn a lot about cell phones. Currently I own a cheap one and it would probably be a good one to start with for that reason. (this is the third one by the way within 3 months.)
I broke the digitizer screen on this one and would like to replace it but I can't find one anywhere online if anyone knows where I might be able to find one please let me know! The phone model is Alcatel TCL LX or A502DL are there any other Alcatel phones that have the same digitizer screen? (5.43 480X960)
Is there a clean OS for this phone? I believe you guys call it a ROM? (8.1 Oreo)
Is anybody out there willing to assist me I'm ready and I'm willing. Thanks ?
