I haven't used any, so not endorsing any of them, but this may be where you can find some for what you're looking for.

Does Dual apps usage enabled on LG G7?

Hi
I'm planning to pick this phone soon. However I use two WhatsApp accounts on my current phone Honor 8. Wanted to know if G7 supports dual apps? Can someone please confirm (if possible with screenshots)?
Even if not there. You can use parallel apps right

Read somewhere on this forum that even parallel space is not working on LG g7 for some reason. Also native support is always good to have than make it work thru a third party app.
Hence the query..
What you can do is create two accounts on the phone and use it that way

Btw i checked and can confirm postively that LG G7 despite having so many tweaks in its settings doesn't support dual apps..even parallel space crashes...

Hii Broo, sorry maybe its a little late, but right now icm using an app call island, it owrk on my g7plus u can download on playstore here is the link :
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island
hope this will help u.
On pie u can do this
It's not natively enabled on Oreo, but it is included in pie.
But you can use apps like Island, create dual apps, which works really well. I have been using Island for so many months for dual WhatsApp accounts. Works like a charm
Just upgrade to pie.. No nead for any apps or hacks..

Smart Lock menu

Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

It's like night & day being back on stock Android. As soon as I started using the PE rom I was overcome with an immense sense of relief, I'd been starting to wonder if I'd made a very expensive mistake by buying the MM3.

Does the UI still limit the amount of apps you can autostart? And you probably still have to log in to a vivo account to change launcher too?

i've logged-in to Vivo Account but for curiosity and not for other things. Still don't tried to change launcher because the stock here is pretty perfect and customizable .
I can receive notifications from all apps here and never had locked them in multitasking. Only need to grant all authorizations under settings

Thing that i don't like is that Google Pay it seems to not be supported.
I have an error when i try to finalize the registration. So no contactless options out there.
Maybe depends from Google License missed here ?

Ive never bought anything from Giztop before. Do you recommend? Also, do they open up the phones to inspect them? I know you said it was the Chinese version and it didnt come with playstore, so I assume it was preopened. I prefer that my phones arent opened by someone else.

LED Notification

So, my oneplus 7T has just arrived yesterday. I only come to know that the phone doesn't has LED notification today. Do I miss something that can replace the functionality of LED notification?
Thanks before.

So I'm new to this forum as I've only received mine yesterday. But is there any detailed guide on how to root this device? I have hd1900 with 10.0.7 OOS. I've browsed the guide section but it is for 10.0.3. Thanks.

the concept is the same as 10.0.3
you need to install magisk canary app, set OEM unlock and adb in developer options in phone, then find the correct 10.0.7 magisk-patched-boot.img file from the forum then flash with adb
Just installed aodNotify by Jawomo on playstore. It's an early access app(not everyone will be able to download just yet). It's just fantastic!! I bought the pro version (less than a dollar). No battery drain, absolutely does what you intend to. Highly recommend it!

How can you use it on oneplus ? . As far as I know AoDNotify only compatible with Samsung phones . No way to run on oneplus .
Please check on playstore. It clearly says its for one plus(actually 8). Anyways i have been using it flawlessly. Y don't you try it for yourself and see..

Thanks for sharing. I guess the app developer needs to update the app's description then, as it still lists specific Samsung devices as the only ones with which it will work.

Question FaceID for pixel 6 pro?

Hi, i was wondering if its possible to port the face recognition option we used to have on older android versions as a mod on the pixel 6 pro. I believe they used the front camera.
Are there any accuracy problems associated with using front camera?
I just needed a faster option to unlock at work as my hands get kinda dirty and the FP sensor on pixel 6 is sensitive to dust unlike the one on my pixel 3 XL (RIP legend).
If there is a solution that exists already, please forgive my naivety and point me to the thread/discussion for it. Thank you!
I don't think there is currently a solution and I doubt there will be unless Google includes it later.
Can you use smart unlock, with your works WiFi? Or location unlock if it has that?
There were reports that FaceID is in the code, but that it was not used on the P6 because it drains the battery. Since the battery is not great as is, I can see the point. I also wonder how secure it is, as Apple uses dedicated hardware to ensure security (thus the notch), but Google seems to rely on the camera alone -- I assume it's a more secure unlock than the totally inon-secure fake FaceID unlocks on many Chinese phones, like Xiaomi.
On another note, I am trying to use my Garmin watch as a trusted device, but about half the time it doesn't work and the phone would ask for PIN. The trusted device implementation, at least with a watch, is kind of a joke, so I am thinking of disabling it at this point.
I am using Trusted Location. Seems like its working fine. Google 'begs' to have you turn 'on' location function for several of its niceties to work. So security joins the growing pile.

Trusted location is poor security, for many reasons.
Anyone at the location can unlock your phone, so for most of us it's not a solution.
My security is my phone is always on me. I never have left a phone anywhere, lost one, or had one stolen...

Was about to say this. Wifi/Location unlocking when at work is not a good idea.
There is a reason why we lock our phones, and no human is perfect - you might forget it for a moment, or get distracted - whatever.
If someone doesn't care for security in any way (I am perfect & my phone will 24/7 stay on me, no matter what) then he/she/is doesn't need any sort of security active in the first place.

It can certainly be done, but you'll have to write some of the code for it yourself. There are a number of open source facial recognition packages available that you can leverage for this.

I work in construction and so there's usually no wifi at work. And the location differs almost everyday so that won't be a viable solution as well.

Nononono, wrong approach. You do NOT want to bypass phone security. You want to integrate into it. Android is an open source operating system, just find the code where the 4 included unlock mechanisms are defined (swipe/pattern/pin/password), and add your own in the same way.

Fax cus I'm sure that "don't turn off screen if I'm looking at it" feature uses battery and it's ALWAYS ON when you're on your phone if you turn it on. Face ID only on when you use it, how can that even affect battery ?
Pixel 5 has face ID on one of the custom Roms, can't remember which one though.

Yeah but it would only be looking for one thing. Maybe all the battery used on image processing for FaceID adds up over the many unlocks during the course of the day. Thats why i am keen to have it enabled only while I'm at work as the FP works fine in all other circumstances.
