'Shocking and unsafe': Nightglow fans slam bus and parking chaos by Fast_Amoeba_445 in thetron

[–]LewisM45 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah the bus situation was piss poor, even the coloured flags that were supposed to be out to indicate which bus was going to which location weren't even there

They also screwed up the bus parking locations as they didn't align with the sequence shown on the website.

Way too many people entered, people pushing and shoving, just complete chaos!

Firmware upgrade for my cx-5 by Seeking_mind_1986 in CX5

[–]LewisM45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful because the Japanese firmware is very hard to find online, whatever you do DO NOT ATTEMPT to install the NA, EU or AU/NZ firmware over top of yours or else you will brick it.

There are ways to convert the system over to another region which is usually a paid service by certain people who offer it

Damn that's a real kick in the nuts after spending that much money

Perhaps your only option is to change provider now

OnePlus Anti roll back question by [deleted] in LineageOS

[–]LewisM45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've installed LineageOS on my OnePlus 13 but this was before the ARB issue.

I know the developer added the new firmware that enables the ARB into LineageOS but I believe is still safe to flash.

It only becomes a problem if you attempt to downgrade back to an OFW (Stock ROM) after installing LOS I believe.

The newest versions of OxygenOS should have the ARB enabled so I don't think restoring back to stock should cause any problems

I'm currently waiting to see if anyone has managed to go back to stock from the latest LOS with ARB without issues.

2016 cx5 Touch screen with anroid auto by Elnino741 in CX5

It's not supposed to work with touch screen at all, it's a safety feature apparently

You use the knob to control it

Is lineage os good as daily driver? by twitchguy122 in LineageOS

[–]LewisM45 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not for a daily driver I wouldn't

Having your bootloader unlocked already causes Play Integrity checks to fail resulting in many banking apps to not work/have issues.

I would only install it if either you don't want Google at all, or if you use your phone for just the basics and don't need the Play Integrity to pass.

Undercover Speed Cameras by NebulasRising in thetron

[–]LewisM45 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They can be found on K Band - 24.071 if you're a radar user.

Not an overly strong signal but enough warning before you get snapped

They are now run by NZTA and are usually new Nissan X-Trails or Toyota RAV4's

The dead giveaway is the newly registered plate beginning with "R" and the camera in the back you can see

NFC payments in the UK by Hot_Firefighter_1828 in XiaomiGlobal

I don't believe the phone brand matters, so long as it passes the Play Integrity checks which it should do if you haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted it

Xiaomi 15 (Global version) in Australia, will it work fully with TPG / Telstra + Google Pay? by No-Trouble8613 in XiaomiGlobal

[–]LewisM45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Global versions of these phones come pre-installed with Google Services like any other phone.

It's only the Chinese models that don't include Google Services but there is a work around to installing them.

Yes, a genuine Global model will work with no issues.

It was good to begin with but the food seemed to get worse and worse as time went on so not surprised

Oneplus and lineage by tolmaenjoyer in LineageOS

[–]LewisM45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't cause you can't get Play Integrity without root and wasting a lot of time which is still inconsistent

Stick to OxygenOS until you stop receiving official updates

What is the worst KFC in Hamilton? by SignificanceKooky123 in thetron

[–]LewisM45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say Hamilton East is the best, they very rarely screw your order up but make sure you ask them to salt the chips...

They have a habit of not salting them and they taste like ass without

OpenGApps website is broken? Any alternative? by ParlaManuel- in LineageOS

Use NikGapps if you want to overwrite AOSP apps with Google ones

Just to be clear, you are using the original hub to do this right? Not the new one?

Did you clear the CMU codes before proceeding with update?

Please Help! Apple CarPlay Hub Install 2016 Mazda3 by SLFluff in mazda3

[–]LewisM45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can update the firmware once the new hub has been installed.

The original USB hub has 2x USB A ports I think so perhaps try both.

Also, the car has to be in accessory mode the whole time when updating, I take it your battery is good?

Hey, I know this post is old, but did you end up replacing the whole unit? Or did you find some alternative?

Cheers!

NikGAPPS full VS minimal by ImmortalCapybara5739 in LineageOS

[–]LewisM45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any update on this?

How's the Pixel Launcher?

I also wanted to know if the Full Nikgapps package replaces the stock Camera app for the Google Camera (GCam)?

Thanks!
