[Q] Browser won't zoom out images past 100%

I have a TF101; Prime 1.9, stock kernel, not much else...
I'm not sure if anyone esle is having this issue, but when I view an image in the browser (e.g. clicking a direct link to an image), and the image is larger than the screen resolution, the browser won't zoom out any farther than 100%. It starts zoomed in at 100%. I can't pinch-zoom out, only in. I've tried to play with some settings in the debug menu, to no avai.
I've got "OpenGL rendering" and "Normal rendering" checked, and "Use wide viewport" unchecked.
Anyone have a fix?

Did you try checking it?

Try restarting the browser.

Sorry for the long delay in replying.
Restaring would have and does have nothing to do with it.
The option for wide viewport also does not affect the issue. The option that seems to cause it is 'single column rendering', but then that will mess up other website from displaying properly (for instance, check boxes and radio buttons won't display).

[Q] Subtitle problems when using HW decoder

I have a slight problem with my subtitles when playing a video using HW decoder.
It doesn't happen all the time but like 80% of the time.
When I play a video using HW decoder, for the first few seconds the subs are displayed smoothly. The time is random. Can be less than 5 secs or more than 10.
Then after this it will start to be "delayed"
The reason why i made it in a " " is because, it's kind of not really a delay. The subtitles will show a few seconds after the actual time it should be. Sometimes it doesn't show at all and skips some of the texts. Sometimes the disappearance of subs can last for 30 secs. The remedy I discovered for this is to tap the screen, this makes the UI show up. Whenever I do this the subs go back to normal...... and goes delay again. It just repeats the cycles.
However, this doesn't happen when I use SW decoder. I played with the settings a bit. Tried turning off HW acceleration. Tried turning on Android 4.0 Compatible mode. Some settings at Decoder. Nothing. It still happens.
I'm not sure if this happens to others as well but if you would know anything that would help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Try disabling hardware overlays in Android system developer tools, see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for this! Worked like a charm.
However, i might be asking too much but what does it do? What happens if the hardware overlay is enabled or disabled?
Will there be any problem if I leave it disabled?

I have exactly the same problem but disabling hardware overlays in Android System does not fix it.
My box is Tronsmart RK3368.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

@somzx ah missed your question earlier.
Normally, the android system can render various different screen components as different "layers", and these layers can be individually hardware accelerated. Disabling hardware overlays means the previously separate hardware accelerated layers are drawn via software and/or into the main layers instead.
@sviet2k not sure what else it could be. You could always try changing the sub render timing delay to a negative delay in MX settings, see if that helps.
Just to confirm does the problem go away if you use SW decoder?

Hi CDB-Man,
Thanks for your help.
Changing the delay time does not help because the sub sync problem happens only after ~10 minutes playing. The sub sync is perfectly at the beginning then after 10 minutes, the delay happens.
Yes. I don't have problem of sub sync with SW and HW+. I need to play movies with HW (not HW+) to able to have DTS passthrough via SPDIF.

Hmm, then you may just be out of luck; when using HW, you're passing the subs through the Android media framework, and asking the system to native render the subs; MX's implementation of sub rendering is much better than system. Curious, are these srt, ass, pgs, or some other format of subs?
Also, I'm not an expert on the audio side, but there's no SPDIF passthrough even with the custom audio codec by @ktsamy ? (I assume not, given the nature of SPDIF passthru).

No, it will not enable audio pass through.

Hi,
This sync problem happens with external srt and also the srt embedded in the mkv file.
Just for curious, why the HW decoder send DTS sound via SPDIF but the HW+ downmix DTS to 2.0 sound ?
Again thanks a lot for your help

Disabling hardware overlays in Android System does not fix it for me as well, there must be some other option to do so. Please help us with a perfect solution. Thanks in advance!

The using the beta build instead. Join the Google+ beta build release stream.
https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
The beta build has a new SW subtitle rendering engine.

Hi CDB-Man,
Thanks a lot to let us know there is a new version that may be fix the sub problem.
I install the beta build on two boxes: android 5.1 (mine) and 4.4 (friend)
Unfortunately, it does not fix the sub issue on my Android 5.1 box but there is no problem on box that has Android 4.4.
I hope this info can help you to identify the cause of the problem.
Thank you

Issue on Android 10

On Android 10, the navigation bar is not hidden when in full screen mode. Both the 2 buttons one, and the one button (only gestures). Other video app's don't have such an issue. Please fix that, because now the app doesn't use all the available part of the screen in full screen mode.
I use a Nokia 6.2, with a FHD+ display (2340x1080).

Could please you check again after enabling the full-screen mode from Settings > Player > screen? It may fix your issues.

Brightness issue with Pixel mod in OOS

Hey Everyone,
I was able to get all Pixel features like photos unlimited, call screen, hold for me in OOS using this Magisk Module.
But upon installing, the brightness of the device is set to low and completely broken so it doesn't change. Did anyone able to run it and fix this?
I was able to use it by going in to fingerprint and click add fingerprint which brings the brightness back to normal and quit the fingerprint by swiping in notifications and the brightness presists but that's not usable in long term

Edit1: Seems like I was wrong. All the features are getting turned off one by one.
Writing here for anyone who wants to get pixel features in oxygen os rather than AOSP.
I was able to solve the issue. All I had to do is delete the system.prop file from the module and install it. Now the photos shows unlimited uploads and I don't have the brightness issue.

Hey,
Does anyone got a chance to have a fix for this? I have the same issue with a oneplus 8, and i can't find any solution yet..
As stated, removing the "system.props" from the module breaks the feature of the module

I have same issue... I got call screening Pixel feature in Oxygen by changing device fingerprint but have same screen brightness problem.
Can you please some detail of how to delete the system.prop file in the module and then install it.

I actually have a *partial* solution to this. If you are changing the fingerprint to enable call screening or call recording in Google Phone, then the solution is to use Google Dialer Mod instead. It's a root app that has toggles which literally allow you to turn on Call Screening, Call Recording, and pretty much any other Google Phone feature you'd want to enable. No fingerprinting necessary. If you were trying to get other pixel mods, unfortunately I have no answer to that.

Question Any way to fix accidental touches when phone is in pocket?

Hi guys!
So, I've been using this phone for a while on stock ROM and I noticed that the screen automatically turns on and there are random touches when my phone is in the pocket. Today, it got so bad that my phone went to the camera app and took some photos, switched to video and recorded some videos while in the pocket.
I have already enabled accidental touch protection in settings but that doesn't seem to work. So, basically, I was wondering if someone managed to fix that, perhaps with a third-party application.
I also have root so if there is an xposed module or magisk module to fix this, do let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Use a case with raised display guard (as you should anyway).
Turn display away from your skin.

already use one and I don't like keeping the display away from skin because then I have to turn the phone around after taking it out from pocket.
I disabled double tap to wake for now because of this. I really hope they fix this bug on One UI 5 but I doubt it.

Disable the tap to wake and lock feature, if you use Always on display select its tap to show function. these should solve your problem.
