Hello everybody,
does anyone have experience with porting Strato's system to the Pace?
Bye
its in ongoing stages, with some weird and problematic issues with the latest builds of the CN/US releases.
There are two versions by now, with some errors still in BT stacks but that can be test here: https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1401281&highlight=port+Pace
Regards
HI
The "VO2 max" does not work, and the "training effect (ET)" also does not work.
The Smart Bluetooth cardio band does not match true values, but slightly better than pulse HR.
You can not move the displays and menus during training, otherwise HR values will change, strangely!
You can not make updates, you have to wait for the updates provided by the developer of this conversion, which
It's a shame because it seems like it's going to take a while.
The rest seems to work well for me.
Are there any news about porting Stratos to Pace? It would be great to have all the functions (except the ones for swimming of course) of the Stratos on the Pace. Is there somewhere active development which I can follow on an english forum? The link posted in this thread links to a spanish forum. I think many people could be interested in this topic.

I've asked a number of questions about what the Alpha 2 is for this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581065
I guess the question was answered (Thanks), but I'm very confused as to what an Alpha is and what an RC is. The latest title of this thread states "RC3 not Alpha." For those of us new to these ROMS, how are we supposed to make heads or tails of what is being presented. I asked a number of times, if RC2 was Alpha 2, and just got circular answers or "No." I finally found a link myself, which someone responded was the right one for Alpha 2, but I'm still confused as to what RC1, 2, 3, etc. has to do with Alpha 2, 3, 4. Can anyone explain this?
Finally found out the answer to my question by asking in Androidforums
Alpha: for developer testing only; many inherent bugs that require other people who understand coding and such to assist with working on. Not ready for mass consumption, period. There can be different stages of useability here, but suffice it to say, that unless you know how to work under the hood (so to speak), don't touch an Alpha release.
Beta: Still in testing stage, but generally fit for public consumption as most major immediate flaws have been ironed out and just some system bugs remain with UI tweeks to be made as well. Like with Alpha, there are different stages of beta release as well, but they are all varying degrees of "generally useable but not entirely ready to be a daily driver".
RC: This stands for Release Candidate. Imagine a mother bird choosing which of her chicks to kick out of the nest first. The RC is the one she's chosen, so while it's still not fully baked in the sense that it isn't a completely air-tight product from both system and UI perspectives, it's definitely capable of being a daily driver for the avg person, as well as for the person with moderately sophisticated needs. Varying degrees of this step as well (RC2, RC3, etc), but typically when you're looking at a release candidate version of software/firmware, it's close enough to "fully baked" to where you can rely on it to work for you with consistency.
Ivan, or more popularly known as 秋叶随风, is a super fan / guru that has help beloved MIUI fans around the world by developing customised ROMs.
When the MIUI news team first broke news about the upcoming interview
with Ivan, our ever enthusiastic fans responded with over 100+ burning
questions for dear Ivan in our fan poll!
Despite churning out amazing works that are used by MIUI fans all around
the globe, Ivan keeps a surprisingly low profile, and trying to befriend him
on QQ is no easy feat; His one and only friend request question requires
you to know his boss’s phone number before you can gain acceptance as his
friend!
Of course, the MIUI news team spares no efforts in reaching out to Ivan
for the ever curious MIUI fans, and here’s the much-awaited interview with
some of the interesting fan questions, complete with a real snapshot of
what Ivan looks like!
Question 1 : Tell us 4 interesting facts about
yourself!
I’m actually a staff of Xiaomi and a big loyal fan of MIUI!
Nobody calls me by my real name at work - Instead, everyone prefers to
call me by my nickname, “秋大”
I used to be a developer for iOS and webkit, the open source web browser
engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X
applications
I’m a novice in swimming, having just picked up the skill last year; To be
honest, my swimming can’t even rival that of the kids that I see in the pool!
Question 2: What do you actually do in Xiaomi and
how long have you been working there?
I started working for Xiaomi last year and is currently involved in Linux
server and configuration management and technical support. My main duty
is to ensure that my fellow colleagues can work or laze happily! Occasionally,
I dabble in MIUI system upgrades, memory optimization, stable ROMs
upgrades as well as updating the Android version to allow my colleagues to
test out Google’s latest features.
Question 3: How did you learn to customise ROMs
and can you teach other aspiring fans how to go about
doing it too and what is required to get started?
When I first came into contact with Android phones, the phone
manufacturers integrated the phones with too much bloatware that made the
user experience abysmal. Hence i decided to try my hand at customising the
ROM by myself, purely out of interest! I am actually self-taught, and
personally i think this is one area that is very difficult to teach.
For aspiring fans that would like to go down this path to customise their own
ROM, my advice would be to first familiarise yourself with Java, C, C++
and Linux, as well as shell kernel script writing. A good way to get started is
to follow what others have done in customising the ROM, by basing it on
their git log to understand the logic behind the tweaking. Of course, the
prerequisites are that you have plenty of time, and a relatively good
computer with fast internet speed.
Question 4: What features are you planning to add
to your latest customised ROM?
It may surprise you, but i do not like adding new functionalities. If you want
to, you don’t have to do it yourself, but use the ready solutions out there
like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, etc.
Question 5: What device are you using now and why?
I am currently using two phones; an iPhone 5, and Mi2. I love my Mi2
primarily because i find the size perfect, and the hardware is not outdated,
and best of all, i can customise it everyday!
Question 6: How long does it take for you to work
on each ROM?
From conceptualisation till its actual run takes around 1 week, but it could
take 1 to 2 months to correct for all the bugs and stabilise the system. If i
am lucky, I could update and release a more stable version in 1 - 2 weeks.
Question 7: Do you actually earn anything from
doing this?
I pursue and customise ROMs out of my pure personal interest and passion
to share what I love with fellow MIUI fans, and I do not earn a single cent
out of this. Of course, more money is always good, but personally my
opinion is that if one were to pursue this out of monetary interest, it would
defeat the purpose of doing this in the first place.
Question 8: What was the first ROM you made and
what was the motivation behind it?
I first customised the ROM for my Huawei C8500/U8150. Back then,
the phones is packed with more customised softwares. I had the idea of
customising it for my phone for a very simple reason; the touch points for
the phone weren’t many at the point in time, and i decided to tweak the
kernel source to add two more touch points and that’s how I got started!
After that, I got hooked on customising and the rest is history.
***** TOP FAN. QUESTION *****
(from @ej8989 -> We see you have great potential as paparazzi! Care to join the
MIUI News Team? )))
Question 9: Are you dating someone within the
MIUI community?
My interactions with fellow colleagues hardly extend beyond our professional
working relationship, and the majority of the fans are guys! No girl would
want to date a code geek anyway, so… to put it simply, no.

Lol. No mi-bunny for me though.
Dear Ivan
Have a great respect for you Bro...

It's sad to see, such an awesome and kinda cheap watch and almost no one seems to have it Or even actively developing stuff (and keeping it up-to-date) for it, like Kernels, Recoveries etc.
Now I know TWRP 3 is indeed working on it, but there are a few versions newer versions already which haven't been ported over yet.
Coming from the LG G Watch which had an "ever so blooming" development-path in the beginning (which was also sadly abandoned) it's weird.
Well, I really hope that with the upcoming Android Wear 2 things will change for the better a bit
Greetings,
I'm posting this on the General as the forum associated with this mobile device is pretty much dead ATM. It falls very much more in the category of "I need help figuring out how to do this Android Global thing" rather then a very specific issue with a device.
The long and the short of it is the Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550T/1 was a fairly short lived phone in the US. It's a barebones phone that has a lot of features of design choices of the Galaxy S5 and S6 while having very minimal accessory hardware (which as an altimeter and advanced GPS systems).
This phone, however, has seen *A LOT* of popularity in Easter EU, Middle Eastern or Indian markets and thus there is a TON of Rom development still active for this phone.
The SM-G550FY has significant differences with the Sound Drivers, Camera Drivers, Bluetooth Drivers and Modem Drivers that makes the ROMs, in general, compatible enough to be installed, but not compatible enough to have the Sound or Camera work and has varying levels of Modem and Bluetooth viability; more often then not, they work though.
Someone finally dropped a hint that most these drivers are in the /system/lib folder requiring CHMOD of 740 to work; but no one to the best of my knowledge has actually gotten this "workaround" to work. This was something that was completely foreign (no pun intended) to many of us who have posted in that forum. I've had zero success with this, but it seems to have gotten me looking in new directions for fixes.
So my questions are a few fold that I hope the XDA greater community can help with:
#1.) Is there a way to import the correct drivers that are verified working in the same version of Android from another rom?
#2.) Are drivers for different versions of Android the same (IE 6.0 and 7.0 since those are the ROMs being regularly released) or are we reliant on Samsung to release a properly working set of 7.0 drivers to get Android 7.0 working on the US/CA variants of the phone?
#3.) I'm looking for good resources to learn how to build an installer for a ROM to try to build and release a patcher to make SM-G550FY roms compatible with SM-G550T/1 Roms. What resources could you suggest to get myself better up to speed to doing this.
#4.) I'm also looking for good resources to learn how to build ROMs perhaps based on Lineage for my model of the phone. Where would I go to learn more about that?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
Hi.
Can someone please make some camera comparisons between Android 11 and 12? I mean to take the same outdoor pictures using same settings and compare it?
I wonder whether we received planned product aging (camera quality degradation via software "update").
Interesting if it is same, worse or better.
Also, is there finally night mode included?
Would also be nice to see, if the apps themself had a update.
@decomposed
What kind of "Night mode" are you talking about?
Basic-Mode as well as Automatik-Mode include automatic scene recognition. Part of it a dedicated profiles for:
Night portrait
Night scene
Low light
Xperia 1 III XQ-BC52/XQ-BC62/XQ-BC72 | Help Guide | Scene and condition recognition

This is not a true nigh-mode. I am talking about something that other manufacturers offers, a mode you can turn on / off manually and something that hives great night results. Mark 3 still is far behind competition in worse light conditions...
Example of dedicated night mode I am referring to:
A12's camera quality beter than A11's.

Ah is see what you mean.
Well i wouldn't count that in. With the more tradtionell photography appoach sony is taking, i don't think we will see something like this in near future.
Which is okay i guess - concidering the target group of the device. Not aiming for "main stream" in this regards i guess.
As well i would love to see some kind of that maybe in the basic mode - giving the customer the choice which approach he prevers.
@Mazellat
Can you give some more detail? What has become better? Would love to hear some news on this as - due to the availeability - it seems that there hasn't been to much testing on this at the moment.
Not to go off the topic, this is mostly to confirm whether sony applied planned product aging for camera or not. Would be great if someone could post Android 11 and 12 comparison sample pics.

Sony is not known for improving photo quality with updates. And their updates rate and older product support lags behind the competition. For example not that old Xperia 5 is still on October 1 2021 security update. Suggest that it will never get Android 12.
It's too soon to be breaking the XPeria 1 III in software. If people want to know what to expect from the next phone, they're going to look at the current phones.
My phone does seem to get buggier every day (still on 11) to the point were it's nearly unusable. I had to keep it powered off yesterday because it kept randomly waking up into apps WHILE LOCKED and in my pocket. I'm going to attribute this Sony software sucking rather than intentionally making the phone obsolete.

That's a thing that happen also to other phones that people bring here ins tore to repair. 90% of the time is something third party app related and could be solved with a factory reset and with app behaviour checking.
Maybe this is not your case but...
Also if you already not selected it try activating under display setting "avoid accidental use when display is off" and deactivating under lockscreen preference "double tap to wake"
