MXShare simply doesn't show any videos/images or sounds!
Only 4 sounds and its the ringtone ones for some reason.
How does this feature works?
I can't share a single video from my library...
Same issue, gather its an Android 11 issue for me though...
pretty sure the issue is come along with android 11, using pixel 3a and just update to android 11, the file list gone right away

First of all, kudos on such an amazing player. I've been using the Pro version for quite a while now, and I love it.
I've been using Android's Screen Pinning since it became available to lock MX Player on my phone, so I can give it to my daughter to watch movies without worrying about her messing around with anything else. Se navigates the player easily, chooses whatever she wants to watch, but she can't leave the app, or click on notifications, etc.
Unfortunately, the latest update seems to have broken it. Apparently, the "media browser" part and the actual video-playing part are now seem by Android as independent apps. If I pin it while browsing, I can't play any files: whenever I click on a file, Android shows the message saying "to unpin this screen, touch and hold back and overview buttoms". If I start playing a video and then pin it, I can't go back to the file selection screen, as only the video "thread" (I'm not sure I can call it that way) is pinned.
The same problem is happening on my Xiaomi Mi A2 with android 9 and my wife's Motorola Moto G7 with android 8, both running the Pro version of the player.
Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards.
I can confirm this issue and already reported this to their support email. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

We sincerely apologize for the issues. We have already escalated this with our development team and are investigating on this. We will update you once we have a fix.
Thank You.
Hey guys!
First, my apologies if I am in the wrong section posting. I was not sure where to post. Please move my thread if needed. Thanks!
Second, would someone recommend and/or suggest Android 9 over Android 10 or Android 10 over Android 9? For myself, I really do not like Android 10. When I am referring to Android 10 and I am referring to the original in September and the two updates in September where that last update has a C3 in part of the name, as well as the October Android 10 update. I just do not like any of the updates. Would I be better off going back to Android 9? It is not an issue because I can flash the factory images via ADB when the phone is powered on than Fastboot once the phone is in the flashing mode
Can you explain why you do not like the update?
I personally don't find that there is a lot of difference between 9 and 10, but offcourse 10 has the latest security updates, which might be a reason for you to stay with 10.
Personally I think the biggest noticeable difference between 9 and 10 is the gesture based navigation. However you can turn the Android 9 style navigation back on if you so desire (Settings/System/Gestures/2-button navigation) or even the older 3 button navigation.
Other changes - like dark mode - are also optional. I see little reason to stay on Android 9. Especially since it is not being updated with security updates.
It would be nice if we could continue to use a preferred version but that comes with considerable security risks. If your dislike is purely asthetics, you can try other launchers.
For the sake of security I'll stick with Q10 for now. I have yet to succeed with a direct OTA update even under full stock. If the pending November OTA updates without needing to sideload, I might then install Magisk.

The majority of pushback comes from people USED to Android 9/Pie. I get it; I really do - when folks get comfortable, change scares the bejeebers outta them. Because I never ran Pie before the Pixel 3a came along (and Android 10 was halfway through its beta when the 3a arrived) I was able to go from 8/Oreo to 10 pretty much directly with only one migration issue; the gesture support. Simply not using them (even with Gboard) was an option, however - and one I adopted.
Launchers - Pixel Launcher was one I was already familiar with (from my Android 6 and 7 days); returning to it was therefore rather a relief.
The even bigger surprise is that I'm not rooted - or using a non-stock recovery; the first time I've done that on a smartphone (or any Android device since Android 5). TWRP was a certain install on a smartphone (as certain as doing tax returns every year); now - I could, in fact, care less. I follow TWRP development (and Magisk development as well); however, it's more a case of looking for a reason to install either - so far, nothing in Android 10 has given me a reason to move away from dead-stock. (Basically, it's a NEW sort of comfort - dead stock - for the first time in my Android phone history - IS actually good enough to run un-stepped-on.)
Dark mode requires neither; it's an option in Settings. Same with VoLTE/VoWiFi. Basically, so much for Magisk.
The thing is, you have to be comfortable with dead-stock; being as this is, after all, a developer/tweaker-targeting community, how many folks are actually comfortable running dead-stock?
If you CAN get comfortable running dead-stock, Android 10 on your 3a or 3a XL (or any Pixel, for that matter) makes a ton of sense.
Follow up - Due to Microsoft Launcher changing it's code base, I installed the beta on my Pixel 3a, replacing Pixel Launched as default. Due to new features, Pixel Launcher is in trouble! It is not the support for Dark Mode, third party launchers either have or are adding it. It is being able to use apps as plug ins; two I use now are Word (expected) and Google Calendar (unexpected). How many third party launchers let you use a system app - even Calendar - as a plug in directly. While Outlook for Android does, it is still nice to have Launcher do so as well. This very post is another example - I have added the XDA app as a plug in. Depending on how often you use an app, using it as a plug in May be faster than as a shortcut.
Im a new pixel user, i come from Nokia 7 plus (Android 9 - android one program, almost the same as pixel) and simply cant go back to 9...
Im glad my nokia also updated to 10 today , i really like the gestures. And i have been on 9 for 1 1/2 year now...
Nova launcher, gestures work fine on android 10, dark mode is not everywhere but its coming....

I don't know that I had to, but I sideloaded the December update. However, the January update downloaded and installed w/o problem. I have had time to get used to full Q10 stock and it does many nice things. I don't think I'll do root until major changes happen.
Would be possible to have the faster assistant that runs on-device just like Pixel 4?
thanks in advance
looking for the same. pixel 4 rom ports on pofo f1 have it working.
Wish Oneplus would do this

im currently on pixel experience 10 and it does not have. :/
It will come. Just be patient
They just released the new version of Google Assistant for the 3 and 3 XL today. The 3a will also receive it and that phone is very underpowered. If it will get it we will also see ports for the new APK for our phones eventually.
Info on why we don't have the new Pixel 4 features:
LIVE CAPTION is embedded into Device Personalization Services and is DISABLED by default in AndroidManifest.xml and needs modifying to make it work.
FACE UNLOCK is embedded into SettingsGoogleFuture.apk that's only found in the Pixel factory images. Modifying it and making it show up works, but making it actually work again doesn't.
The NEXT GEN ASSISTANT is embedded into SystemUIGoogle.apk that's also only found in the Pixel factory images. It will be needed to be ported via smali to java editing which takes a lot of time and effort.
Those features are not readily available for custom ROMs except those that use the Pixel 4 files directly.
I've noticed file system-related performance issues in Android 11 after upgrading. For example, I use a notepad app to take notes and it has hundreds of files. Launching the app used to be instant, but now it takes 10+ seconds to launch. Also the gallery app I use is noticeably slower to launch as well, although not as extreme as the notepad app.
Has anyone else experienced these issues in Android 11?

It depends on your device, hopefully OEMs will push updates to improve Android 11. What device are you talking about?
I personally updated my OnePlus 8 to Android 11 because stable has been released, but since it's the first one, it's not perfect, sound quality really dropped down (that's the biggest downside to me) and boot time got longer, performances are worse than with Android 10. In short it's the first one, so report your experience to the OEM, hopefully next update will patch and improve all those inconvenience
Hi all,
TL;DR - Please does anyone have suggestions on a stable custom OS ROM for the OnePlus 6 that has something akin to OxygenOS 10's Hidden Space feature and has ongoing security updates? Many thanks in advance!
So here's the lowdown. I love my OnePlus 6, but when OxygenOS 11.1.2.2 stopped providing security updates in late 2021, it was time to buy a new phone. I decided to go with the OnePlus Nord 2 5G, which from a hardware perspective was definitely upgrade (just crazy amount of RAM for the price). However, OxygenOS 12 has been nothing but a disappointment and I'm certainly not a fan the move to be more like Oppo's ColorOS.
OxygenOS's Hidden Space:
One OxygenOS feature I use a lot is the Hidden Space, which is great to store hidden apps like those for online banking and password management in one convenient place. To ellaborate for those that are unsure what I'm talking about, in OxygenOS 10 (and also versions of OxygenOS 11 for, I suspect, selected OnePlus models) this was where you simply opened the App Drawer, swiped left and unlocked with your passcode/finger pattern/fingerprint biometrics. Boom! There are all your hidden apps you were able to access quickly, easily and reliably.
<rant>
This feature was made worse IMO in OxygenOS 12 where you instead had to use the stock phone call dialler to dial an visible unlock code (no other unlock options) to access the same hidden apps drawer. If that wasn't frustrating enough, if you wanted to use two hidden apps consecutively, OxygenOS 12 would send you back to the stock dialler rather than what OxygenOS 10 did and sent you back to where all your hidden apps were. Even worse, there is your viewable unlock code still populated in the call dialler for any one else to see if you didn't remember to completely close dialler app afterwards. It's like having a sign on your front door telling theives where all your valuables are and that they cans also find the spare key under the flowerpot in the front yard...
</rant>
Life after OxygenOS 12:
So it's been about 18 months and I'm ready move onto a new phone. I don't think a new OnePlus phone is an option given ColorOS for Android 13/14 will be on it and that the Hidden Space is still the same as it is on OxygenOS 12. I'm thinking of going back to Stock Android (and thus the Google Pixel 7) as I have previously bought the Google Nexus 5X and Pixel 1 phones. I could be wrong and being presumptive, but Stock Android has always felt cleaner, lighter and doesn't have the bloatware that annoys me about Samsung phones. However, I've been informed that Stock Android 13 doesn't have a built-in feature similar to the Hidden Space like OxygenOS has.
As an alternative I've had a little hands-on using a different launcher app (I've tried Nova Launcher Prime and Apex) on OxygenOS 12+ with the intent to use it Stock Android too, but that solution feels unfortunately cumbersome, at least from what I experienced when using Nova and Apex.
So my next idea I'm looking into is to attempt to install a custom ROM (something I've never done before) onto my OnePlus 6. And now it's all about seeing if there is a custom ROM that fit my requirements. Is there even continuous development/patching for custom ROM's with regard to security updates? I'm freshfaced to all of this that that I'm unsure on a lot of aspects, which is why I want to try this for the first time on a phone I don't currently use day-to-day.
Anyway, any suggestions of security patch supported custom ROM's with a in-built Hidden Space feature would be gratefully appreciated!
