[APP][4.04+]Think of "Harry Potter Newspaper" live wallpaper

Hi we are a small dev shop in New Zealand and have tried something a little different and just released a new App in Google Play
“Moment - Live Wallpaper” for Android is a video utility for creating interactive live wallpaper from video clips (Think of Harry Potter newspaper!)
View attachment 1775659
The 3D effect is quite unique and worth checking out in the youtube demo clip
We have just released an enhancement today which provides basic Viddy integration
We are keen for feedback so let us know what else you think we should do.
Regards
Doug

Link for us lazy folk?
It does look neat, but it looks like it would take a while to use and see the final look. A free demo version might be in order.

We've had a lot of people ask for free version and my offer to them is try it out and if your not happy drop me a note and let me know and I'll organize a refund
We've just put out a new release and added
Speed control setting
Ability to import directly from Viddy
Android 2.3 support (only for Viddy)
Also latest release has really boosted speed of playback so even my Samsung Galaxy S works well with it

Hi
We have just put a free demo version of a wallpaper in Google Play that was created using Moment for Android for those who want to try out on a device.
This particular wallpaper is optimized for a Mobile phone as opposed a tablet however should give you a good idea of how it performs on your device
The wallpaper is called "3D Garden Live Wallpaper"
Hope you enjoy

First update from Vivo

Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.
Source:
Gizchina

Thanks! I suppose we will get that automatically (when checked in update settings), but thanks anyway for notifying it here.

Despiter updates(there's even newer update than those at first page) the underscreen display scanner remain problematic according to fresh reviews from android authority.
https://www.androidauthority.com/vivo-nex-review-875140/
Hopping retail unit perfom better.

Saw many reviews and tests on YouTube and nobody has mentioned such problems with the Fingerprintscanner. I think this will be a "Pre-Release-Device" problem.

Damn that's a really scathing review especially re. the software and OS. Makes me kind of disinterested tbh, because the UX sounds like a ****ing hassle

I'm not so negative ... In my opinion it's a very early stage of the device and i think some points are related to the Pre-Release-Device he has. On the software side i think it's only a question of time until there are some other options.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro and know what i'm talking about. The ZUI interface was only crap but now it's running AOSP Android 8.1 and i'm really really happy with the device. It's better then my S8 was.

Yes but the kicker is as always, does the bootloader get unlocked... I don't know about Vivo and their practices on this.

I actually received my second update on my Nex already... and while the fingerprint reader can be finicky it has worked well (one thing that helped was adding both thumbs 2times)

I got the update a day or two ago as well.....
Any idea (translation) of what it actually encompassed?

only thing i have noticed a improvement on is the Fingerprint reader(seems much more consistent) , the camera seems to focus better and give slightly better results. Also the three bars at the bottom of the home screen are at the absolute bottom now and much wider.

After you posted this,I decided to take a look in the Settings > System Update & found the update notes in English (probably translated to whatever default language you choose) & pretty much line-up with your observations/usage:
The notes may have been available in the previous updates,but,I didn't notice the little arrow to click on to read the notes (probably there all along)......

FunTouch OS is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this phone... Any thoughts on the overall phone functionality from people that have it? I currently own a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and love it except for the selfie camera being on the bottom of my screen. My main thing would be to be able to get the Play Store and use Bluetooth with my car audio system... Any thoughts appreciated ?

I go back and forth seemingly daily. I lust for the hardware, it is to me the next step on the path to OLED in-display cameras, but that bizarre Android iOS clone nonsense they have going on is pushing me away. Funtouch sounds like a waking nightmare.
I currently have a Mi Mix 2, and already the rumor mill is in full swing re. the Mix 3. Google Mi Mix 3 and check out some early leaks, they are rumored to follow the Nex style. Admitted MIUI is not all that great either, but at least Xiaomi is a bit more dev friendly on releasing the kernels etc. And sorry for the hijack

Android 9.0 Pie Update for Vivo Nex

So, Android Pie 9.0 is released today, and the update will be available today for Google phones as well as essential phone.
Anyone who has used Vivo phones in past has any idea how much time does Vivo take to release the new version to their devices? Eagerly waiting to taste a new Android and hoping that Vivo cuts down the Extravagant iOS-ish UI and goes for much cleaner, stock UI.

Could take 3-4months at the minimum .

Starting today, an over-the-air update to Android 9 will begin rolling out to Pixel phones. And devices that participated in the Beta program from Sony Mobile, Xiaomi, HMD Global, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus and Essential, as well as all qualifying Android One devices, will receive this update by the end of this fall.

Great to know! Hope they release an update to Nex soon and demonstrate their dedication to international audience.

Anyway, android p or not, we won't see the difference with "Fun"touch OS

I wish there was a way to load Stock Android on this thing.

Only if vivo give us appropriate source codes. Or all specific peripherals, especially pop-up camera and fingerprint will be not working. The problem is not with loading itself, OEM drivers are needed to compile stock android for using with this device.

Vivo is working on Android 9 for their best phones , i found this picture at official vivo china forum. hope ANDROID 9 come in this year for nex s. they have internal test now

Sometime in November for Android P ?

looking forward to this update...

Yup, me too. But we won't see much UI difference since it't Funtouch OS.

I wouldn’t expect it earlier than end of December for Nex S.

No unfortunately we won’t.
Funtouch OS will remain with the same restrictions as before and iOS style UI.
Only hope to see improvement with some key elements feature like unlimited third party app notifications support to AOD.
Current status really sucks.

[Mi MIX 3] MIUI 11 and Android 10

Hi, i think almost everyone here heard about the upcoming MIUI 11 update (rolling out from middle October in China). I'm pretty excited about that, but i have a question i cannot answer myself. Will the MIUI 11 come with the new OS Android 10 or will it come just as it is without OS update? I'm asking that because of two things:
1) I've read somewhere that Xiaomi already confirmed Android 10 for our device.
2) Instead the MIUI 11 Beta, avaible in China, is actually based on Android Pie
So...what are your toughts about that? Feel free to answer!

2) Instead the MIUI 11 Beta, avaible in China, is actually based on Android Pie

this is true for beta version, (mi-Globe / EUROM)
yes im already on MIUI 11, but it still based on Android 9 no doubt.
but the introduction of new features makes you want to use this ROM more and more (personal opinion)
system-wide dark mode still misses some notif/popup windows (its still on light)
AoD new styles are great, very artistic
they said MiShare is faster, cant feel it. but its not slow. i think it feels the same as V10
and the other features were there just before we hit MIUI 11. I guess this would benefit the stable users more.
its actually not a night and day change. you kinda appreciate those little adjustments. icons, stuff like that. not much for themes tho
its one of those regular updates that you want to jump into. and yea its kinda pretty cool.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm sure i'll like it too! Just hope they'll push Android 10 before Android 11 lol. I'm okay with Pie, it works good and has a HUGE amount of apps and will support them for long time for sure. On the other hand, this device in Global version was born with Pie so...would be nice to see at least one major update. I've heard somewhere that Xiaomi launched Mi MIX 3 with Oreo in China so basically Android 10 would be the last OS update even in EU/Global version because of some strange thinking about their update politics

what's good about with Pie is that, stereo speaker mod is still working, and maybe it wont work on 10. still enjoying the mod

For now i'm not planning to mod my device, when support will be dripped, then il'll explore again the modding world

You guys surely know already but last china beta (9.10.10) is miui 11 based on A10... Not that android version makes any significant difference for the end user but well, always nice to be en par with google I guess

This is so true. I've learnt the lesson with Honor 8. They wanted to kill the device but after a lot of time and people's petition they finally released oreo. Now i'm at the first experience with Xiaomi but as i've read around they're used to update frequently their devices. Don't know so much abouth their policies about updates though, so we can say i'm just hoping that the "Two major updates" rule will be followed

It usually gets to a point when a device is dead unless community keeps it alive. And that is awesome. I actually choose my devices partly attending to their development support. I still have my old hammerhead, 5 or 6 years on, and it is running nice pie roms and surely some 10's will come. Last google firmware is marshmallow. That is really cool
Still, of course it is good and nice that a newish devices keeps being updated by OM.
In my case, more than android version I wish xiaomi updated kernel source, but that is way too far fetched I'm afraid.

Right now I'm using MIUI 11 9.10.11 beta version and it's based on Android 10. I'm on the MIX 3 Android 10 close beta group and get updated everyday. This rom is quite stable and the only bug I found is the incorrect display of RAM which has no influence on my daily using. Magisk worked perfectly and I got 68HZ display so smooth XD.

Can anybody tell me where is Mi Mix 3 ? Or Instead of Mi Mix 2 should be Mix 3 ?

Was thinking to flash it because China version supports 3rd part themes. But after unlocking bootloader there is no quarantee so Im not going to do that. waiting for global.

So, when my mix 3 global is getting miui11 or Android 10 update? Any possible date?

Thamk you for the fedback, hope to see Android 10 also in stable release (should be avaible between 22-31 October)!

[WHY] Not many discussion in this device forum

Why there are not many forum discussions for the this device. Is it because this device not popular yet.
I migrated from Xiaomi mi9. I was using mi9 for more than a year and can also see the forum discussions are very active including custom ROMs.

Yes. I agree with you. Due to covid sweep, this device couldn't get to European and global market.
We may have to wait until it gets into the hands of international users.

Or they all on telegram until proper development start's

The problem with Telegram is thats it just one massive thread.
I was expecting some custom ROMs already, MIUI is ok, but I got the phone intending to put a custom ROM on it ASAP and bearing in mind the good reviews it has got over the last 6 months and how hard it is to get hold of the global versions I too, expected a lot more activity here by now.

Which Channels?

- Expensive
- One of the first native Android 10 devices, therefore a lot of difficulties with development of TWRP due to its super-partition
- Mi 10 mostly uses identical hardware, therefore many threads are in that sub-forum
- Telegram channels lead to people not posting on xda anymore (which is bad, because any random guy can host those telegram device channels, so they can disappear, it's an uncategorized mess and search is bad)

It really is not very expensive at all if you do some minor searching - £713 GBP (8/256) including import fees to the UK is cheap compared to most other flagships of similar spec.
I was surprised to find that the Pro does not share the same forum as the standard Mi 10 seeing as its only the battery and the cameras that are different, certainly any custom ROM would simply be a mildly tweaked version of the standard Mi 10's ROM, it would have been far better for the phones to share the same forum.

Telegram also not many people discussion,i already join in mi10 Pro global,and already sign out also..useless

Telegram is so messy. Not easy to find the appropriate information. Would like to know which gcam and xml file that are best for this phone.

cmi was test dummy, Xiaomi tested 50w wireless charge, 90hz screen, and encryption methods then dumped it to the trash.
