Where do you find 3.01? The website is still showing 3.0.
Also, any other changes between 3.0 and 3.01?
Thanks for your help.

[GUIDE] - EASY - Check your display type without root - Terminal Emulator method

If you like this tutorial and find it useful, LINK OTHER PEOPLE TO IT.
This is NOT my discovery and I'm not taking credit for it, I'm merely posting because I see this question asked over and over and wanted to make a more visible guide than the ones that are buried inside other threads.
This is very easy.
1. Download Terminal Emulator from the Market.
2. Reboot. (to clear memory)
3. Open Terminal and type DMESG, then press enter. (Does not require root.)
--3a. If you type dmesg | grep panel it should reduce the output and make it easier to find! (Might require root.)

4. Scroll all the way back up to the top. Might take a minute.
5. Look for the line that reads something to the effect of <7>0000000 tag panel parsing panel type = (1 is bad, 2 is good)
6. Profit.
That's it! Very simple and easy and it will get you a definitive answer without rooting your phone.

Please note that this does not work on rooted devices. I don't know why, but if your device is rooted the panel type does not show.

This isn't true, it works perfectly on my rooted device. The main key is to reboot just before you do this or you won't be looking at the right section of information.

Again, I tried it with 2 different ROMs, after reboot and used "dmesg | grep -i panel" ( the -i option in grep command ignores case). All I got was the same lines as the previous comment.
In the original thread out is also mentioned that this method is not intended for rooted devices as it doesn't always work.

That's your problem. Type ONLY "dmesg." I just tried it again specifically for your benefit and it worked fine.

Ok, now it worked after reboot and I'm a little puzzled. The grep command does work and you should add it to the guide as you don't need to search the output, so this wasn't the issue. Not sure why I didn't get it previously

I believe it but I'm not familiar enough with Linux to ensure I list the command correctly. If you can figure out how to get it to work consistently I'll add it to the first post.
If I had known about that command I would have been stoked. You wouldn't believe how much time I wasted looking through lines of gibberish to find the panel type before I figured out I had to reboot, lol.

#2! That just made my morning

confirmed #2! ..... on a rooted device. Tried typing it dmesg after having phone on all night and it didnt work. Rebooted it and typed dmesg again and it worked

Thanks for this! Can also confirm it worked on my rooted device AFTER A REBOOT. Unfortunately I have panel type 1, which I already knew and it was no surprise to me, but I now have a replacement device on its way!

Wooohooo, got a 2! I wouldn't of hit the thanks button if it read 1 LOL j/k. Thanks for the informative post, phate!

thanks found mine is a 1 but its ok i got mt4g cheap at ebay

Testing help required!

Hey folks, I've had a report from the Play Store that my app is crashing on Glides, but I can't get a log from the users. If any of you would be so good to test out the function and see if you have issues, and then grab me a log of the crash, I would be really grateful.. Will increase your thanks meter of course.
My app thread is here and the latest release is in post #3
When the app opens there is the option at the top to go to Android TTS settings. Apparently, clicking on this causes a crash.
Thanks in advance

Thank you If root is detected, su access is requested for advanced functions. Full busybox commands by voice are in the making!

I downloaded the one from the appstore and that one is working well as well. Got it to learn my name and tell me the time and toggle WIFI on and off. Working fine so far. Yes it does ask for SU. No crashes so far. Is the beta any different?

No problems here. Runs smoothly and recognizes commands.
Running stock rooted.

Tested it on a used Glide I just bought and haven't had time to root yet. Running stock 2.3.5 that was factory reset a couple of days ago. No problems accessing any menu or sub-menu item. Guess I just haven't had time to put enough crap on it to make it unstable.

Thanks guys, it's appreciated - strange that the crash can't be replicated - there must be some other issues on the devices that are having problems.
The beta release is still a while away and will contain many more advanced features for full device control by voice. It's strange bug reports like this that slow me down! At least I can move on from this one now.

This feature is working well on my test devices - it'll make an appearance in a couple of releases time, after I've had chance to test it on multiple users calendars and multiple calendar apps.

Ok I just tested my theory. With Pico TTS uninstalled it tries to open settings, which freezes and FCs, and it dumps you right back in your app. Your app does not crash. Honestly if this is the bug, I'd say it's user error and not your fault.

Good work Thank you. I assume the crash also may extend to the Pico engine (or perhaps any other) having installation corruption of some kind.

First of all I need an device running oreo stock fw, which it's not my case, unfortunately (I've bought an XZ1 for my wife, but it will remain locked)! Till there, I can't help out!!

There's also a couple of interesting settings available via adb on the ZX1c which may also be present on the XZP.
adb shell settings get system somc.call_recording
adb shell settings get system somc.call_recording_beeptones
The defaults are:
somc.call_recording=0
somc.call_recording_beeptones=1
But both can be changed with:
adb shell settings put system somc.call_recording 1
adb shell settings put system somc.call_recording_beeptones 0
I don't get any call recording options when I activate them on the XZ1c, but maybe the XZP's dialer is different.

These settings need this to work. Just enabling them will not give you the call recording feature.
Dialer looks for these settings first, and then if some packages are installed and working. These packages (apps) are not part of sony stock firmware anymore!

I see..
I haven't figured out how to deodex the Oreo framework jars yet, so I haven't been able to get too deep into the underlying code.
That does explain why I didn't see any recording options in the phone related APK's.

Thanks for the post. I didn't even realize skvalex wasn't working with Oreo after upgrading (even though most people say it didn't work with Nougat, it worked fine for me). Just installed the unreleased beta and everything is working fine again.

Control your AOD (LED alternative - Automate flow)

Hi all,
I am also missing a notification LED for incoming messages et al.
Well, the following might be of interest for some of you. Let me explain: I took a closer look at Automate and the flows provided by the user community there. Unfortunately all the flows for controlling the AOD there do support Samsung and LG devices only. By chance I stumbled across the correct name for the Huawei-specific variable that needs to be triggered. So, I took a working flow for LG, simply replaced the variable's name and voila, a working flow, without the need for root or something.
And it works like this: each time an incomming message (or something similar) triggers a notification, the stock AOD gets switched on, showing you the usual clock and notification icon. As soon as you are disabling the notification (by reading the message etc. pp.) the AOD gets switched off again. This works quite well, saves some battery (compared to having AOD constantly on), and you can clearly see when a new message arrives. I also didn't need to put Automate in the battery white list, it simply works as intended.
The necessary steps to get this working are as follows:
Install Automate from play store
Install the Automate extensions "network permissions", "settings permissions" and "superuser permissions" (the latter does not need root for granting the permissions indeed)
Enable "superuser permissions" via adb:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.llamalab.automate.ext.superuser android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Switch off the AOD functionality in your devices settings
Download the (zipped) flow I have attached to this post and install it
Start the flow and grant the permissions you are asked for
If you use flow v01 switch off the logging of that flow, there are tons of data generated while the device is plugged in via USB, flow v02 works fine with loggin enabled
Enable "Automate" in Settings -> Accessibility features -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services
I have been running this solution since late November. For me it runs smoothly, stable and battery friendly. Maybe it's also helpful for some of you. Just let me know when you have questions.
Disclaimer: I have published the flow on 25th November at android-hilfe.de and in the Automate community only recently.
Cheers.
Update:
@RoteDose has been so kind and had a closer look at the old flow and completely reworked the power charging check, so there's no log flooding anymore. So he created a v02, that I have attached here now. Thanks a bunch for your support, mate!
To do: research for AOD icons to be refreshed after disabling the notification
- Found a list of Huawei specific settings here.
- And you can list the settings by
Code:
adb shell settings list system|global|secure

You can download to your phone the file "Huawei AOD switch.zip" I attached and unpack it to a path of your choice. In the Automate app you can import the unpacked "*.flo" file through the dots menu on the top right. You are then able to give permissions, switch logging and start/stop the flow.
Hope this helps. Just let me know. Cheers.

Is there anything else to do after the upload? Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. I get a notification and nothing happens. But when I turn on the screen and lock the AOD shows. But that's not how it's supposed to work.

Its not working o my P30, Emui 10. I followed instruction everything allowed, AOD stock deactivated, but nothing......Automate works fine, flow is active, but...… What could be wrong......

First of all, thank you for this solution.
But I have a little problem. I don't know why, but for me doesn't work :/
AOD switched off -> started the flow (granted all the permissions) -> lock the screen -> i got a message (the phone vibrated), but the AOD doesn't switch on -> unlock the phone, just to the home screen (doesn't read the message) and lock again -> and now the AOD is switched on

The problem is solved.
Just need to enable this:
Settings -> Accessibility features -> Accessibility -> scroll down and enable Automate

Let's stop, switch on logging and restart the flow. Try enabling Automate in "Downloaded Services" as @razer91 described below your post. Maybe the log info will then help you finding out what goes wrong. Just let me know.

I don't think so. At least here it's all fine. Automate is not even in the battery saver white list, and going to sleep perfectly. Also, I detected no CPU wakelocks.

Yes, I checked too. The consumption of battery by Automata is minor.
