Was doing multiple things at the time, so not sure about this—I think I restarted it but then it wouldn't start up again. Holding down the power button didn't help, nor did holding down the power button along with either the up or down volume for a few seconds. Plugging it in, it does make the "started charging" noise or whatever. Would be much obliged for any suggestions on how to get this working again! UPDATE: Well, and it just rang! Maybe the screen died . . . ? UPDATE UPDATE: Well new friends, it looks like I'm now officially in the market for a new phone. Since I like GrapheneOS, I guess I need to buy another Pixel which hopefully won't crap out on me after 3 years like this one has just apparently done. But which Pixel should I get? As long as it's comparable in functionality to the 5a5g . . .

I use rsync normally but I want something similar for my Android (GrapheneOS) smartphone. I want to just click and backup everything that I set up earlier. For now I manually copy folders to one and then upload it to external drive. What are your recommendations?

Is there any solution to configure termux to use system default theme instead of what i setup using termux styling app? Even a basic option to set different themes for different modes will help l, so that i can configure it to switch to zenburn when system is in Dark mode and Google light when in light mode.

With this new feature (#5370), it is now possible to mirror a new virtual display, with a custom size: ```bash scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080 scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080/420 # force 420 dpi scrcpy --new-display # use the main display size and density scrcpy --new-display=/240 # use the main display size and 240 dpi ``` On some devices, a launcher is available in the virtual display. When no launcher is available, the virtual display is empty. In that case, you must [start an Android app][start-app]. [start-app]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/device.md#start-android-app For example: ```bash scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080 --start-app=org.videolan.vlc ``` To list the Android apps installed on the device: ```bash scrcpy --list-apps ``` For convenience, you can also select an app by its name using a `?` prefix: ```bash scrcpy --start-app=?firefox ``` However, retrieving app names may take some time (sometimes several seconds), so passing the package name is recommended. ## On-device OpenGL filters Scrcpy can now transform the captured video stream before encoding by applying OpenGL filters directly on the device. This has made it possible to fix several issues and implement new features, as described below (more details in #5455). ### Crop The `--crop` option was broken for devices running Android >= 14 (#4162). It has been reimplemented using OpenGL filters internally. Its usage remains the same: ```bash scrcpy --crop=800:600:100:100 ``` It now also works for camera and virtual displays. ### Capture orientation The `--lock-video-orientation` option was broken for devices running Android >= 14 (#4011). It has been replaced by a more general option `--capture-orientation`, implemented using OpenGL filters: ```bash scrcpy --capture-orientation=0 scrcpy --capture-orientation=90 # 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=180 # 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=270 # 270° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip0 # hflip scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip90 # hflip + 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip180 # hflip + 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip270 # hflip + 270° clockwise ``` The capture orientation can be locked by using a `@` prefix, so that a physical device rotation does not change the captured video orientation: ``` scrcpy --capture-orientation=@ # locked to the initial orientation scrcpy --capture-orientation=@0 # locked to 0° scrcpy --capture-orientation=@90 # locked to 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=@180 # locked to 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=@270 # locked to 270° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip0 # locked to hflip scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip90 # locked to hflip + 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip180 # locked to hflip + 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip270 # locked to hflip + 270° clockwise ``` Now, it also works for camera (fixing #4426) and virtual displays. ### Custom rotation A new option `--angle` allows to rotate the content by a custom angle. Combined with `--crop`, this is especially useful for mirroring the Meta Quest 3 (#4135, #4345, #4658). ### Virtual display rotation The new virtual display feature initially could not rotate. The rotation has been implemented using OpenGL filters. (That is what triggered the development of OpenGL filters.) Like previously, the current app can be rotated by <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd> ([shortcuts](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/shortcuts.md)). ## Screen off timeout The existing option [`--stay-awake`](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/device.md#stay-awake) only keeps the device awake **while it is plugged in*, meaning it typically does not work over TCP/IP. A new option, [`--screen-off-timeout`](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/dev/doc/device.md#screen-off-timeout), modifies the screen-off timeout setting while scrcpy is running and restores it on exit: ```bash scrcpy --screen-off-timeout=300 # 300 seconds (5 minutes) ``` ## Static builds For convenience, static builds are now provided for [Linux](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/linux.md) and [macOS](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/macos.md) (#5515). More targets might be added in the future. This is still experimental for now, so if you encounter problems, please report them. ## Features you might have missed If you haven't tried scrcpy in a while, here are some features introduced in the 2.x versions that you might have missed (check the release notes to each version for more details): - [scrcpy 2.7](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.7): gamepad support - [scrcpy 2.6](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.6): audio duplication - [scrcpy 2.5](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.5): control-only & mouse improvements - [scrcpy 2.4](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.4): UHID keyboard and mouse - [scrcpy 2.3](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.3): camera support improvements - [scrcpy 2.2](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.2): camera capture - [scrcpy 2.1](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.1): microphone capture - [scrcpy 2.0](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.0): audio forwarding --- - BlueSky: [`@scrcpy.bsky.social`](https://bsky.app/profile/scrcpy.bsky.social) - Twitter: [`@scrcpy_app`](https://twitter.com/scrcpy_app) - Reddit: [`r/scrcpy`](https://www.reddit.com/r/scrcpy)

Anyone got a *modern* guide to getting NFC payments working with the latest version of Lineage? I've got a OnePlus 5T (dumpling) running LOS 20. Got some of my banking apps working - but Google Wallet just won't work.

Does anyone else still not have the emoji wallpaper after yesterday's update?

Is GrapheneOS the best, and why?

For a while now I have had this problem that everytime I used a voice command for Google Assistant that a few minutes after the command got executed I get the sound of Google Assistant activating and waiting for input for like 2 seconds or so (also with the green microphone activated icon in the corner). Does anyone else experience the same problem or has an idea how I can get rid of this?

Looking to install the beta on my P6P, but wondering if it's stable enough for daily use. I usually run the betas a few months before the official release

What is everyone's daily driver right now? I'm currently rocking a pixel 6a but can't shake an itching desire for an s23

I've mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that's inefficient as hell. How do you do it? How do **you** backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

What routines do you all use that you've found to be helpful? I'm looking to utilize routines more. A useful one I use is assigning the side button to activate and deactivate the flashlight.

Hey y'all. Like the title says, I'm looking for an android sms app. I used to use signal, but they removed support for it in October last year. I switched over to qksms which has been great, except it doesn't support video, only pictures for MMS. The default app that came with my phone doesnt support group chat titles, and sms messenger from f-droid says it supports video mms, but it keeps failing to send video (despite the size being 1.4Mb). Y'all got any other suggestions?

June update released for Google pixel phones!

Hi everyone, I'm new to lemmy and its app and I'm having a hard time "subscribing" to another instance or community. I'm registered on the sh.itjust.works instance and can see the main lemmy.ml in the all section but I'd like to begin curating my own list of communities. Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding something? Any help or clarification is appreciated.

I've been using Weawow but wondering if there's anything better lately. Preferably free or low cost and without ads.

Are you excited about Nothing's new phone? I am cosidering to buy one but there are couple red flags.

> We can take a few guesses as to why things are so big. First, Samsung is notorious for having a shoddy software division that pumps out low-quality code. The company tends to change everything in Android just for change's sake, and it's hard to imagine those changes are very good. > > ... > > Unlike the clean OSes you'd get from Google or Apple, Samsung sells space in its devices to the highest bidder via pre-installed crapware. A company like Facebook will buy a spot on Samsung's system partition, where it can get more intrusive system permissions that aren't granted to app store apps, letting it more effectively spy on users. Urgh, it's so frustrating that Samsung is the leading Android manufacturer, the market is rewarding greed and incompetence
