screen-record-adb
One of the newer features in Android 4.4 – KitKat includes the ability to record your screen. Which is something I’m in love with right now. It definitely helps when I’m doing tutorials, like this one. Instead of recording it with a separate camera and having to worry about lighting and such. This way is much easier and preferred in my opinion. To record your screen, it’s actually quite simple. You do need to have the Android SDK installed to be able to do this. Once it’s installed, just navigate to the platform-tools folder and open up a command prompt window. Then enter the following command:
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/filename.mp4
As you can see in the image above, I named it screenrecord-sample.mp4. I actually have a quick sample of a screen recording down below that you can check out. The quality may not be that great, but you can change that. By default it does it at 4mb bit rate. But luckily you can change that. The preferred bit rate for me is 8mb, which you add into the command so it looks like this:
adb shell screenrecord — bit rate 8000000 sdcard/filename.mp4
That allows you to record at a higher bit rate which is always good, and better for viewers. The screen recording has a limit of 3 minutes. So you can’t go longer than 3 minutes, and it’ll actually disconnect shortly before then. Which kinda sucks, but I’m sure there’s a reason behind it. It’ll continue to record your screen until you go into the command prompt and press Ctrl+C to stop it. Then you’ll find the screen record in your gallery under the name that you made for it.
It’s actually really simple, and we’ll definitely be using this for some tutorials and how to’s in the future here at Android Headlines. Stay tuned for plenty more Nexus 5 and KitKat coverage.

Hello, First and foremost I want to tell you that I am not good with English and I am using google translate. So you can see is that there is a topic where they explain the procedure to run the daydream app running on any device (obviously have to have the corresponding sensors mainly gyroscope) and have a cardboard or any vr glasses
In addition It is necessary to have another telephone that also has a gyroscope, which will serve as a command. Keep in mind that they will not have the quality of a certified phone for their use and for that reason I recommend not to use it for more than 15 minutes because it is possible to make them dizzy and nauseous.
First step:
With some explorer root browse to:
* /system/etc/permissions/
* Open the file with a text editor: handheld_core_hardware.xml
*Add the following code lines:
Code:
<feature name="android.software.vr.mode" />
Code:
<feature name="android.hardware.vr.high_performance" />
*Save and restart the device
(Thanks CharaNalaar)
Second step:
*On both devices go to: settings / options of development / and activate android debugging
*Download the following files:
Daydream App
Vr Service
google vr keyboard
And on the device to be used as a control:
Controller Emulator App.
Third step:
* Pair by bluetooth devices
* In the device that we will use as a command we open Controller Emulator App and accept everything until the joystick
* In the device where we install daydream we open the app, we go to adjustments and we click several times in the version of compilation until the options of development are enabled.
* We go to the development options / device emulator and select the device that we will use command and also select "skip input screens in VR"
fourth step:
Enjoying DayDream
Also clarified that I had to download the games and apps from other stores since it does not leave you unloading from the play store
This test in moto style (xt1575) with cyanogenmod 14.1 and as a command use a xperia z1
I am very curious about how hot our device will get after successfully applying this tweak!

I haven't tried this yet but I'd expect some serious heat. Mine is noticeably warm even with just cardboard, and the Pixel gets roasting with Daydream
Are many of the Daydream apps crashing for you?
Also a lot of Daydream games installed are not in split screen mode. Anyone else? Is there a fix?
For those wanting to use the LG Camera app on the V40 but do not have an option to toggle the camera's sounds and want it, then the script below should enable the 'Shutter sound' setting.
*A disclaimer and a reminder that in Japan and Korea, and possibly other countries, by silencing the camera sounds you may be breaking the law iiuc - so do check! - I cannot be held liable if you are arrested, charged, fined, sent to jail, etc. - You do this at your own risk!*
That said, where I am based it is not, and I find the shutter sound annoying. There are modules around that will silence your LG Camera app, they work by changing the files containing the sound into silent/empty ones. Not a great solution if you want to have the choice about whether you want sound or not. However, there is already a setting for this buried inside the LG Camera app and this will enable it for you:
So, assuming you have Magisk installed on your phone, please run these commands from your computer:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo "resetprop ro.vendor.lge.build.target_operator TRF_VZW" > /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/enable_shutter_sound_setting.sh
chmod 755 /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/enable_shutter_sound_setting.sh
reboot
Once it restarts, load up the LG Camera app, tap the settings button (top left?), then if you scroll through the settings you should see a 'Shutter sound' setting you can toggle on and off. I've only tested this on my LM-V405EBW, it is possible other versions may be different.
If you'd like a bit more detail about what is going on here, then:
First (line) just starts up a shell on your phone
Second gives you root (you may need to grant access in Magisk)
Third writes a system property to a file to change the mobile operator your LG apps may believe they are running against. The TRF_VZW value is one of two that will allow the 'Shutter sound' setting to appear in the LG Camera app
Forth makes the file you just created executable to the android system
Fifth will reboot the phone and enable this property for the LG Camera app to use, and give you the 'Shutter sound' setting option
I should point out a caveat: this setting change may mean other LG apps may also make assumptions about what you can or cannot do as if you were a Tracfone phone. This only affects LG apps it seems though, so probably not too bad, but worth knowing perhaps :angel:. If you want to remove this change then please run:
Code:
adb shell
su
rm /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/enable_shutter_sound_setting.sh
reboot
Something I don't understand (yet) is why some report that turning the phone to silent/vibrate mode will also silence the LG Camera app's shutter sound too - this does not work on mine... not a big thing as this works well for me. Maybe it is something about starting with a LM-V405EBW V20a-IND-XX - if anyone knows, please leave a comment. Thank you
Finally, If you'd like far too much detail about this under the hood then please indulged yourself:
I downloaded the app from the phone at /system/product/priv-app/LGCameraApp/LGCameraApp.apk
Decompiled it and found this interesting piece of code in the playSound function of the SoundManager class:
Code:
if (!FunctionProperties.isSupportedShutterSoundSetting() || ... )
So looking at the isSupportedShutterSoundSetting function in the FunctionProperties class, we see that this is how it determines who has this setting:
Code:
ModelProperties.getCarrierCode() == 6;
Looking inside the getCarrierCode function of the ModelProperties class, we find that two carriers return a 6, and we also see the system property they use:
Code:
sCarrierCodeMap.put("VZW", 6);
...
if ("TRF_VZW".equals(SystemProperties.get("ro.vendor.lge.build.target_operator"))) {
sCarrierCode = 6;
So by setting the system property 'ro.vendor.lge.build.target_operator' to 'VZW' (Verizon Wireless, I'd guess) or 'TRF_VZW' (Tracfone on Verizon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) we can enable seeing the 'Shutter sound' option in LG's Camera app's menu. Enjoy!
Update: So after playing around with other LG apps, Phone and Contacts had some issues using VZW. I didn't dig too deeply into this, but can imagine an if statement or two. I found TRF_VZW is largely an unknown operator which seems to default to OPEN, as you would probably want

Thank you for the data point... I'll do a bit more digging later on.
For others: this image is what you should see, I should have posted one too, thank you @Einsteindks

So this stock is Verizon Wireless - so your build target operator will be VZW under the hood.
You may check this with:
Code:
adb shell
getprop ro.vendor.lge.build.target_operator
If I am correct, it should say 'VZW' - and why you have the 'Shutter sound' setting by default.
Before doing what the original post said, mine was set to 'OPEN' - which is what both my original and flashed firmwares were built with
Thanks, the small Code from #1 is working finde in my Android 12 LG V50 (500N40C). Korean Phone with 4G Vodafone.de
I thought we should have a thread dedicated to Canadian users, our model is different enough from the US one (U) to warrant a separate section.
For starters, I haven't seen any mention of the May patch AUDA on any of the carrier forums (Telus, Fido, Rogers, etc) nor anything on the Samsung website.
I got my phone directly Samsung, so I kind of expected faster updates, in line with the rest of the world.
We usually get it around the 10th of the month, for March it was on the same date as Fido's schedule. I bought it from Samsung Canada too
To bad here in Canada the phone was released with March update. Hopefully bootloader unlock gets updated.
Must have fps and doze app for S21 series phones with adaptive 120hz. Has option for 96hz max and 48hz minimum, etc.

Here's a nice lil screen on time with S21 Ultra set to adaptive 96hz max and 60hz minimum with max doze mode. Also power saving mode with limit cpu speed to 70% along with turn off 5G. I will get even more screen on time as the phone learns usage patterns, etc. Screen brightness set to auto just to clarify.

Yup, using it since I discovered the app...but for me, I had to downgrade back to 7.0 - 7.10 doesn't keep the refresh rate when in power save mode properly.
I reported in the app thread, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Try enabling the refresh rate monitor in your status bar. I always have it on, maybe why the latest works for me properly. Maybe the monitor keeps process running as apposed to being killed.
Arnova8g2 Gcam
BTW....I think everyone should give the Arnova8g2 GCam a try, it works wonders with zoom, especially 10x.

Hmmm...maybe, good idea.
I use the screen refresh rate display option from developer mode...didn't like the notification one, but you are right, Android gets aggressive with apps if they don't have a notification.
PSA : Bixby "Routine +" has been a added to Good Lock.
I'm still unclear on who's providing the updates if I bought the phone from Samsung directly. I would assume Samsung, NOT the carrier. Right?
Ok, enough posts for one day, I swear I'm not trying boost my karma

I got the April update on April 14. While I purchased my phone from Amazon, I have a Bell SIM in it and, I may be wrong, but I believe Bell has to vet updates before they are available for phones registered with them.

Yes...and the results are quite remarkable in my case. Definitely cleaner shots.
PSA: I pinged Samsung Canada and they could not offer a date for pushing the May update...go figure.
That explains why no carrier has any date either.
I'm not anxious to get it, I would rather wait and see if it breaks any my current tweaks (esp Galaxy Max hz, the Galaxy Labs stuff I sideloaded and most importantly, GCam)
Telus will update in May 18th
It's weird because I can not use the gcam that someone upload in this thread. Installed it successfully but it doesn't open

You may have to manually enable file permission. Sometimes you get 3 options and it defaults to the middle which is not full file access.

Why what's new in AUE1 ?
In System Table:
agps_slp.... Anyone knows how to exchange the crappy Chinese AGPS with Google SUPL. Is just changing the IP address from China mobile to supl.google.com enough?
location_whilte_list - not sure what this does - but might make sense to add google maps to it besides the chinese apps.
If you use other media playess - or youtube revanced - add it to the SDR2HDR list.
Setting_Vivo_Store_enhance - may make sense to change it from 1 to 0.
There is a benchmark mode. If you set it manually to 1 all apps and not just the ones that are on the list further down will work fast and disrespect the temperature limits.
apps_toast_status is some sort of whitelist - maybe makes sense to put often used/important apps there?
In Globalt Table:
flt_white_pkg_list
not really sure what that is used for.
i think i will play with it a little
Install setedit app. Tell us if you find something interesting. But I prefer to use adb shell for actual commands. Setedit app is great to see what exists.
