[Q] spb shell 3d

I have installed spb shell 3d for my huawei ideos x5
When i press home and i choose spb shell as my home launcher screen goes black and my default launcher comes back up
on the spb shell 3d android market site it says that if it doesnt work install app called home switcher. I installed it and it does the same . i even installed an app called launcher switcher and still does same.
i realy want to run this home screen on my phone so pls someone that has this working or fixed this i need help
Edit:
I installed launcherpro plus and used cube transition its a bit alike but I would still love spb shell xP

I have successfully installed on my ideos x5. But it drains the battery rapidly and reboot when surfing on network. Uninstall and back to the LauncherPro.

I'm having this same problem, did you get anywhere with this?

are you using cracked versions? it may cause the problem

No using the paid version, seems to not like some roms, tested last night and it worked with oxygen rom but not with flb r7 rom

might be because i'm using cf3d? not sure, doesn't matter too much as i have it working on my other phone anyway, was just interested if there was anything i was doing wrong or if it was just not working with the x5

Anyone get this thing figured out?

program is bad. there is no way to first try and then buy

Sometimes the best thing is test first and buy later. I test it one day and that was enought, i don t like it a bit... so many people talking about this program and i think that the only use it can have is to do a showoff. For me not usefull

spb shell 3d
Hi,
Sorry if this is not in the right thread. I am a bit confused on how to place a thread.
Anyhow my problem is that i have updated my x5 to Gingerbread 2.3.5 all is going well. But i have restored spb shell 3d ind i get a nag screen directing me too the Market too Buy the version, I have purchased this already months back, i'm not going to spend another $15. When i updated to Gingerbread i bached all apps thats fine this is the only one i am having trouble with. During the update process i had to sign into my gmail account but things went wrong, gmail claimed that my username or password was incorrect...I was not, i use that 2 step verification Bull****, which is another issue by itself. Anyhow i have created another gmail account. I think this is the problem??? i have contacted spb, had no reply
Can anyone help ? thanks

You have to login with the same gmail account used to buy the program... i think its not possible to change to another account.
I never had problems reinstalling aplications purchased earlier, only need to use the same account from the purchase. It's were is kept the information of your buys...

OK thanks, I thought that was the problem....!
That is the trouble now is that i can't use my old gmail account due to that 2 step verification. i can access it through my computer but not my X5 OR OTHER ANDROID devices..never mind.
Gmail/google have some stupid methods, since i used that 2 step veri things have gone wrong..
thanks again

G'Day and thanks for your help.
The team at spb have finally got back too me, all fixex
But after using the launcher Android 4.0 - 360 Launcher i don't think i will use spb shell any more. It is great..

Thank you, but spends more than charge

How to set desktop mode in Chrome/MTP USB permanently

Those 2 things have been bugging me from the start. I have only ever used my PC to transfer files on to my phone so I would like it to go into MTP mode by default not into charging mode, I know there is some apk on the market that claims to do it but it is an Xposed module and I'm not running Xposed, any other way? Also I've always used the chrome-command-line trick to get my Chrome to always open desktop version of websites (mobile version are more than often way too buggy and poor looking, seriously wtf) but it no longer seems to work, apps from market also fail to change my user agent (or at least those few I tried). Any way to accomplish those 2 things? I'm running Nougat PureNexus. Flashable zips, Tasker scripts, apks? Anything? Thanks!

I only root just to use Xposed.

And I only root to get Adaway. I used Xposed on my previous phone and found it to be extremely unreliable, maybe it's time to give Nexus 6P's version a shot?

Yea I would I really like the hold power to turn on flash and being able to see how much data I'm using in the notification. Wish Android would just have this built in and having the USB selection memorized.

Those things are already in PureNexus by default, the hold power for flashlight was the thing that tipped the balance and made me switch from stock.
Besides am I going blind or is there no Xposed for Nougat yet and this whole discussion was pointless??

I know but it only works one time, notice if you set it and plug your phone in it's in file transfer, unplug it and plug it again and it's in charging mode again... Useless setting, that's why I was asking for a permanent solution.
EDIT1: Guys but what about the more important chrome user agent? It seems like a simpler problem yet I can't find any information what happened on nougat that made it impossible to edit, where is the user agent string now??
EDIT2: OK nvm about the Chrome thing I figured it out myself looks like they changed the directory chrome-command-line file should be in to /data/local/tmp and now it works.

Just tried it again with no luck. The site where I found this solution said it only lasts until the first time a device is plugged in and it works exactly as described for me...

Tried this and it didn't work. Anything else that had to be done besides basically copying the file into /tmp? This is the most frustrating part of Nougat for me.

Android P

Hey fellow Essential Phone owners.
As far as I know the android P beta is available for the Google Pixel devices. So the beta should be treble supported, right?
Is there a chance the beta is flashable on our beloved Essential Phone? I'd love to try out the Android P beta. (I know it'll probably be unstable)
Thanks!
Johannes

It's being worked on. I get my Essential Phone in 3 days. I will see if we can make any more progress then.

Awesome! If there are beta testers needed let me know. ?

Keeping my eye on this!!! This is very exciting!!!

Awesome!! Sounds promising

it works but. it have some problems, the wifi doesnt work, and when you change the size of the screen the system generates a black line when the screen is bigger than 460 p.
it's what I've found so far

i follow the instructions from the page of essential, but i used minimal adb fastboot insted of the Android SDK Platform-Tools.

Just a couple problems with my install.
I'm loving it just a couple minor things with mine. The biggest is it say Chameleon instead of Sprint, and had some issues with network service. I messed with the SIM card a bit and now works fine, still says Chameleon. Second the brightness level, if the phones shuts down so does the brightness, and just push it up again and it works. Have had it for about 2 weeks.:good:

Plenty people on Beta2.
No issues as a daily driver for me on Verizon.

Will loading the beta wipe the phone? Not a problem if it does, just want to know. If so I will backup my messages with SMS backup app.

If you download the OTA version from the Essential developer site and use a current version OF ADB to sideload it to the phone you will not have to unlock the bootloader or lose any data. The first reboot takes time, be patient.

Should Google pay work on the bata? Mine doesn't but I didn't relock my boot loader after seeing comments about people bricking when they do.

Fyi. New bata has been uploaded in Essential's developer area.

Yes it works, you need to relock the bootloader after flashing...

I think it isnt that smooth , at least compared to pie

I tried to use Deuce's flash, that didn't work. I tried to root it using Canary Magisk. That didn't work.

No Q root via Magisk until major rewrite it seems.
https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1105947979679191041
There are more tweets after that explaining why and the complexities of the new Q partition layout.

Thanks! I was rushing before work. I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't totally surprised it ended in failure.

Apparently you gotta use ADB to enable it. There's a recent article regarding it.

I cant upload photos , dont know why , it takes me to main xda page when i close the window , but in dev options ( in settings) the last section lets you choose font type (2 available ) , main colour of the ui and icon type( 4 available )
I cant tell if they were there before
Trying to upload the screenshot i took , i found that the app to choose files is renewed , for better

Anyone know if OnePlus gestures works okay on Q?

It's working for me, but it appears to need more forceful gestures than previously. But this might be because I fitted a new screen protector yesterday!

In reading the twitter feed by Magisk dev John Wu, it may come sooner than expected, his last couple of tweets made it seem like he had narrowed the problem down a bit. Also, another user hinted at a possibility of getting it working via an alternate method, but I haven't seen anything else.
But since this thread is about Q, let me say this:
1) I already had dark mode on in Pie.
2) I had root via Magisk, but completely uninstalled it (without locking the bootloader though), so no FDR needed.
3) First attempt at taking the OTA left me in a weird partial (stock) recovery where it said that the OTA could not be applied (I'm paraphrasing), and had the options to try again or FDR. I hit try again and it rebooted back to the same place - I hit try again a second time and et voila! it rebooted to Android and I have Q now on my Taimen. No idea why that happened, and I haven't performed any checks to see if it maybe flipped to the other slot or something (which I highly doubt, as it was extremely quick from when I pressed the try again to when it rebooted and started booting Android Q).
So, first thoughts:
The Google Feed now has a bit of translucency - pretty cool!
Settings is now dark mode
Notifications are also dark, double yay!
Night light is working better - the blue accents in settings, etc now also dull, the way they should.
Redesigned Files app - looks nice! Those items at the top are selectable, individually or in groups.
I've started an album at my GPHotos with screenshots I've taken thus far. See https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdbTnXZNYpQ3xBFS6
It's 1:30 AM now. I'm off to bed.

I feel the fingerprint sensor works very fast and very accurate. Can anyone please conform.

I can confirm this. I'm using Pixel 2 XL and Pixel XL and after update to Q beta I can feel fingerprint sensor works faster on both devices. even I can feel so much faster response on Pixel XL

Can anyone confirm that edit button on screenshot notification is broken for you too ?

Any tweak to use full screen for any apps on OnePlus 8 Pro

Hi all! Does anybody know some tweak ui app to force full screen for all apps? Unable to use the whole screen is very annoying. I've turned off status bar due to screen burning after two months, but the upper line is always empty in portrait or landscape mode.
Thanks in advance!
And peace to all.

I am researching on this. On A10 you can use the magisk module "none display cutout". After install, in dev settings you have an option to completely ignore the holepunch area and swithching to fullscreen with gmd gestures lite will have truly fullscreen and no icons to burn in. Sadly this is not working on a11. Module will flash, holepunch will be ignored. But fullscreen mode will just turn off holepunch area

Thank you very much!
But I would prefer to not install twrp and not to flash magisk as well due to some reasons.
Just hope if exists some tweak app with adb granted permissions, like those for immerse mode.

Yes, thx,a solution would really be nice. I have been wondering about this.

Do not use the below
DO NOT SELECT DOUBLE CUT OUT
DO NOT USE ON BETA

dladz said:
I think you're going to struggle without root, you'd need to change some files in system, without root I don't think you can.
Have you checked on the display cut out in developer options?
Haven't used it but may offer every you want?
Check out the other OnePlus forums, they're longer established and may have mods which can be adjusted for this OS, or possibly it may even work as is..
Hope this helps.

Really? I didn't get any of that, tbh though I don't think I actually clicked that one.
Find it hard to believe that OnePlus would leave that in.
Would assume that safe mode would still work.

You can use the adb command to remove magisk modules in case of bootloop caused by this, happened to me on my 8T. Still looking for a working notch killer for a11

could you post this exact command sir? this is one of the biggest things on paranoid about, they're not being a good version of TWRP for 11

There's definitely a lot of dead space up at top reserved for the humongous status bar icons, a good 0.5".
Should have made them smaller and further up the screen. Like others mentioned this task will be probably zero achievable without root etc.
