    An alternative to Dark sky.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:22 AM PDT

    There are other app too like Overdrop Pro and many others. But I prefer this as the animations of this app awesome and the dev is very responsive about bugs and feature requests.

    Since all of you know, that Dark Sky got bought by apple today. And the android app is going to be discontinued. So here is one app which is quite nice and works very well.

    I am NOT the devloper of this app, but thought will share this.

    Question for all Custom ROM builders, what would be your advice for someone trying to learn the process

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 07:41 AM PDT

    First of all, thanks to all custom ROM builders who have made the Android ecosystem diverse and rich. Even when the companies whom we pay for the device stop providing us with updates, your tireless works keep our cellphones alive and running.

    Now, I would like to understand what goes into building a custom ROM. Here are my questions:

    1. What kind of knowledge is prerequisite for starting such a project? For example, proficiency in C++, Java and an understanding of Linux kernel seems to be the basis of it. What else would you suggest?
    2. Which tutorials, books or documentations would you suggest to learn the stuff? There are a few videos on Youtube, but sadly they are really out of date, and I guess Google has changed the Android system architecture drastically in recent years.
    3. What kind of tools would make the whole process easier? There are a lot of tools like SuperR Kitchen, but are they used by professionals? Or do the professionals make their own tools for development?
    4. What hardware specs would you suggest for Android development? Is 16GB RAM enough, or is 32GB optimal? What about CPU: GHz or threads, which is more preferable?
    5. How do you implement a new feature that doesn't exist in any current ROM? How do you, let's say, add a customizable lockscreen, or scrollable QS tiles?
    6. When you start a ROM development, there is always an ethical question of stealing someone else's code. However, you have to start somewhere. Some ROMs say they are based on AOSP, or Lineage. How does the choice of base ROM impact the final product? How much do you copy code from a different custom ROM's source code?
    7. Any other advice, suggestion or warning. Feel free to enlighten us.

    OnePlus 7 pro android 10 stutter fix

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:26 PM PDT

    Ever since the android 10 update, OP7 pro has had micro-stutters all over the place. This is particularly apparent in the recent apps screen or any place where there is some animation + scrolling. I tried the open beta releases as well as the stable releases and even factory reset the phone multiple times to no avail. The phone would run perfectly smooth 99% of the time but that 1% of stutter was really irking me, especially because a major selling point of the phone is smoothness. And it's not just me, as I've spoken to many others who are reporting the same.

    The issue: What's happening is that OP7 pro comes with multiple settings for resolution and refresh rate. By default, the resolution is set to auto shift between 1080p and 1440p. And by default the refresh rate is set to auto shift between 60 and 90Hz. Both of these depend on the app in focus and the content in front of you. Now, in some places they clash and shift too often (like the recents screen) which creates frame drops and judder. They probably programmed the resolution switch and refresh rate switch independently and tested so as well.

    The fix: Set the resolution to a fixed value: 1080p or 1440p. I prefer 1080p since for 1440p PenTile, 1080p doesn't look much worse than 1440p (it's a huge PenTile subpixel rendering argument). Immediately, all the stutter will be gone and the phone will be smooth as butter just like on android 9.0. Plus setting to 1080p gets you some additional battery life.

    If you're experiencing similar issues on your phone, I hope it helps out you too.
