if this use uses so much RAM even in 6GB variant what about the 4GB (if anyone have 4GB variant please post below)
Second ,
What's the use of AMOLED display if they can't even implement Dark Mode at Launch. Plus they have dark mode advertised in their advertisement

Yes about color OS, i personally feel it is not that much of pleasure using it. Realme announced their own OS Realme OS for their new phones. Hope we will get the update soon, which will be more closer to AOSP with dark mode in it like oxygen OS.

As per i heard RealME OS will be coming next year. And the Dark Mode is coming in Color OS 7.
And I don't think we will get AOSP , just speculation not sure though!

Personally , i feel color os is kinda immature . custom rom though will be a great experience on this great hardware

Color os is not that refined. Hope that Realme OS comes soon, otherwise custom roms zindabaad!

I will be honest. It was much better than I had anticipated.
I used few Oppo devices with Color OS some months back for some time and had an headache.
The current 6.0.1 is lot lot cleaner and less cartoonish. Still, lot of issues though. Especially because I use Nova launcher, there seems to be quite a bit of lag and hang. After searching online, it seems Nova doesn't work as swiftly in ColorOS as it normally does.

Try CPL launcher. It is very good and has lot of features + nice clean UI.

I am etching to use full dark mode. This white screen is blinding and minimum brightness is not very low .
Plus am I the only one or does the camera app over saturate images (chroma boost is off BTW).

almost every realme phone does that.. hope they fix that in future updates.. btw you can turn on dark mode on some google and apps like instagram by using dark mode apo from play store (no root).. I'm using that and google photos, play store, instagram all turned dark

[WatchFace] Circles Watchface

Hello everyone!
This is my watchface that I published on the Play Store:
{
"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"
}
It features an original and clean design, with support for ambient screen (dimmed mode).
Future updates will feature more themes with various color combinations, and the possibility to fully customise the interface.
It was tested on a Moto360. Supposedly it should work on other Android Wear smartwatches as well. If you can test it on other models, I would be grateful if you would provide feedback.
Get it for free from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deveddy.circleswatchface
Enjoy!
I like it. It looks quite nice on the GWR.
A (configurable?) black background (in ambient mode) would be ideal for the OLED screen.
It's a keeper for me, thnx!

I updated the watchface with black background for ambient mode. Customization of colors is still in the works though.
Really liking this watchface. Thanks for this ?

Misleading advertising in the picture on the play store. Its a 360 but without the flat tire? Photoshopped really? Also it's not compatible with wear 5.0

Haha, good one! I'm not a designer, I just used some free template from the internet. But I hardly believe that someone thinks that it's fake advertising.
Also, it should be compatible with wear 5.0, I tested on the emulator (I still haven't received the update yet on my Moto 360) and it worked. Although it's not using the new Wear Watchface API (yet )

It'll work but it won't dim. So it will shred battery life.
Oh, I see, I couldn't test ambient mode in the emulator. Anyway, I'll be updating the watchface to the new API very soon.
Thanks for the feedback.
i also could not get it to dim and it estimated full discharge of battery at 8hrs from 80% serious drain, i dont even use FIT now as i found that take battery too!
really like the idea off the ambient display more then the main one

Hi! I just published an update to the watch face, that makes use of the new Wear 5.0 APIs. This being said, ambient mode works flawlessly,also a 12-hour format option has been added, and the circles are sharper . Enjoy!
I have just installed your watchface and I like it.
Could you add the possibility to raise the diameter of the circles ?
On my LG R the circles are a bit smalls compared to the diameter of the screen.
Many thanks.
classic design. had this in my collection and confused it for a default watch face! :good:

oh yeah why not complain about such an unnecessary detail. ...its why first...i dont care about, cause every flagship looks kind of similar nowadays and second, there arent any other phone renders available in such a big range of different viewpoints and angles.....and wait? i dont see any apple logo there....its a white smartphone....should i spent time on searching a great smartphone render or should i spent time on improving this theme?
oh you are the deep darkness theme guy? i really liked it !!!
and now this one also keep up the good work! Recognized Themer. and happy 2000 thanks. the 2000TH came from me
Nice, but free XDA version link is broken.

its a mix of dark an light theme...but ya, if it is in a kind of final state, i can do a light version.
update: themed instagram ( screenshot in op ) - uploading to dropbox and playstore right now.
Loving this theme! Bought the donate version immediately as I did deep darkness.
Only one bug to report, because I know you will fix this up as time goes by. I am getting random gallery crashes. I have attached the link to the log and hopefully you can find what you need to fix it. Also one more thing, I have attached a screenshot of some white on white text where my google account email should be. Just saw this. lol
Log is HERE with device info
it looks really nice on the screenshot. Unfortunately wasnt able to download it.
Dropbox link offline, looks great though.

[IDEA][AOSP] S-pen feat.

Hey guys frozt here just thought I would drop an idea by you guys that love the note 4 but hate touchwiz.
So I was thinking in theory it would be possible to when detaching the spen to open the "Pie" control since when you do it on stock the spent quucksettings popup, and pie is way more customizable and user friendly
So my whole point is do you think that this would be useful?
P.S. I went to my nexus 6 I need a Turing point as to why I should come back to the note 4
Stereo speakers and 6in screens a big deal for me. Any thoughts?
so listen to this

there are many pie apps available in google play store. download any of them.
now go and search in same play store with keywords "note", "spen", "detach" and you ll get 2 or 3 apps which allows to launch an app on detach on aosp as well. chose wisely. hurray you got it.
nexus 6 with stock vs note 4 for tw.
---> tw has many options compared to stock android and nothing beats shealth, air command (spencommand for replacement), writing buddy, one hand, toolbox, upsm, camera, snote, finger lock, multi window, lock screen effects, accessibility settings, private mode, s finder, pop up call ................. phewwwwwww and many more.
hope you got your answer. :silly:
if stereo speakers is all u need then i cant do anything for you but screen is almost same only 0.3in difference so it should not matter.
I ran CM11/12 AOSP nightlies on my Note 2 right up till now. I replaced it with a Note 4 and you know what, Samsung knows best when it comes to the S-Pen and has integrated it well. I'm probably not going to flash any custom roms this time.

I love my nexus 6, its got everything I'm a visual guy and the look makes it sexy. I build widget in Zooper and it just adds to it, but Samsung has more of what I will need as I'm headed towards my pH.D.
As for the apps I understand that but what I was getting at is detaching opens pie with those feats from stock. Idk just and idea I thought no one had explored. So my nexus is posted and I'm gonna trade it!
Also I'm a T-Mobile user would the snapdragon be better or exynos?
Zooper Clocks coming to Samsung!

snapdragon for better custom roms support as exynos will always suffer with lack of devs working on it.
and note is worth every penny. its not for guys who loves big and beautiful its also worthy for day to day work for any individual as well.

P9 coming tomorrow

Hey
My fiance got a P9 lite a few weeks ago.
Loving vanilla Android, I actually liked the P9 lite. Especially the 3 battery mode settings.
Her battery life seems to be pretty good, better than my Nexus 5x. So I ordered one.
Any tips for when I receive it?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app
Well, it not really is vanilla android what you find on the P9. For me it is more a iOS themed android. Which is not bad, esthetics are really nice if you'd ask me. However, as a first thing I installed a launcher which I use for many years now (around 5) because I kinda need an app drawer.
Besides, you should get familiar with so called "protected apps". The selection makes sure a nice balance between push notifications and battery life.
Third, have a look at the accessories threads. I dont know if you usually use cases but I highly recommend the barely there case. It doesnt destroy the design of the phone.
Lastly, have a play with the camera. Especially the bokeh mode is astonishing.
Have fun with the phone, mate.

I meant that I normally like pure Android, but I actually liked the P9, despite not being pure Android.

Is there any harm setting the protected apps to all off?
Depends what app it is,
I just have these protected, I also use nova launcher so I have an app drawer and can resize icons.
Other than the lack of app drawer, I think the os is fantastic, really quick, I prefer it to vanilla android.

You should definitely try out some of the themes on here.

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Xiaomi Mi Max 3's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I want to know this too
Apparently its good in daylight:
But badly in need of some updates in low light:

Tried it just now.
The app. I really have nothing to say about it..Google cam mod is way better.
First off all the app is completely bland. There is no controls of whatsoever other than the limited options you have in settings, like six options.
And the app is abandoned, last update on Android was on May 8, 2016. Last update on ios is Dec 9, 2016.
I downloaded it from the internet, search for: com.cortexcamera.cortexcamera_production
Opened lucky patcher and created modified apk with disable license verification..probably the easiest crack ever.
Save your money and go here instead https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/themes/google-camera-mod-t3827356
Maybe the app performs better on ios I dunno. But on Android it looks like a fake toy app with cheap graphics decoyed as a rat/keylogger..

Yeah I was hoping it uses Ai similar to the one in p20 pro. But since it's abandoned it obviously won't get any better
Google camera is definitely better, but I don't wanna root my mi max 3 because of the ota updates. That's why I was searching for an alternative
Thank you for testing it
