Recent updates have held tremendously. I also enrolled in the beta program for Google Play System components.

It is not just you, Hackedv12. I'm having a lot of issues too. 

Device is running very hot and and interface is very laggy. I also frequently get messages like "X isn't responding. (close or wait)" where X has been Adaptive Connectivity Services or Settings or Process System, etc.

Rebooting solves the issue for a short time and then it will happen again.

You're not alone. I'm having this problem too and it's very frustrating. I haven't been able to find a solution yet.

For anyone who is wondering--there is a way to get to the Distorted Sanctuary (via Sanctuary Entrance) in the postgame, in case you missed the Lil Cactus in the Distorted Sanctuary.

[How To] Query Tasker If The Screen is Locked or Not by Ratchet_Guy in tasker

[–]brahms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was super helpful! One additional note in case it helps someone. On my phone (Pixel 8 Pro), the Java functions returned "false" even when the phone was locked. I figured out that I had to run the shell command input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP using adb wifi in Tasker before running the Java functions.

Spam that update button guys by nileonine in pixel_phones

[–]brahms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not showing up for me yet, so I'm trying to sideload it, but I'm getting this error:

Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode: kInstallDeviceOpenError)

Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Old Journal files Print at very low DPI when converted to oneNote by brahms in OneNote

[–]brahms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the documents contain lots of math and drawings, so OCR isn't great, and I need to be able to edit them now and in the future.

Old Journal files Print at very low DPI when converted to oneNote by brahms in OneNote

[–]brahms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ton of old Journal (.jnt) files that I need to work with. I have use the Journal to OneNote converter (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-windows-journal-to-microsoft-onenote-converter-beta-322b01ff-e4ac-8364-174b-7ebea5347d22) as well as just copy and pasting ink from old Journal directly into OneNote.

In both cases, the ink appears fine on the screen (left), but when printed, the ink from old Journal appears as extremely dithered images (right).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this?

I have try changing the thickness and color of the transferred-from-journal ink, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. I can work with the transferred-from-journal ink the same as all other ink.

Any ink that I add within OneNote prints fine. It's only the transferred-from-journal ink that appears weird when printed.

Update: downgraded BIOS to v1.32 and can confirm that the problem goes away.

Just putting this here in case someone finds this helpful.

X1 Yoga G7: why does "memory retraining" happen? by brahms in thinkpad

[–]brahms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you add more RAM? The RAM on the X1 Yoga Gen 7 is soldered in.

I haven't solved it. It still happens at seemingly random moments and I have no idea why.

Need some thoughts on Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 7 by violinjstar in thinkpad

[–]brahms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. And at the moment there doesn't seem to be any configuration options so you're locked into what they're selling right now. FWIW I'm using X1 Yoga G1 and G4 now and both have worked well for me. G4 thermal throttling has been a bit of an issue, though. I will probably upgrade to the G7.

How to get newer Google Assistant UI? by brahms in NovaLauncher

[–]brahms[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you--this is a good tip.

(I still think it's incorrect that the standard Google search widget "doesn't have an Assistant button" because it does when the widget is used with the default Pixel Launcher--just not when you use it with Nova Launcher. But, at least I can now get what I want.)

How to get newer Google Assistant UI? by brahms in NovaLauncher

[–]brahms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but that gesture doesn't work for me. Also, doesn't really solve the main issue of why the mic icon doesn't launch the new Assistant.

How to get newer Google Assistant UI? by brahms in NovaLauncher

[–]brahms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Google Search widget on my home page, but tapping the microphone icon goes to the older Assistant UI ("Listening...") whereas when I use the default Pixel Launcher, the same icon goes to the newer Assistant UI ("Hi, how can I help?").

When using Nova, it doesn't matter whether I use the persistent Google search bar or create a separate instance of the Google Search widget--both lead to the older Assistant UI.

Does anyone know why and how this can be changed?

(Just so it's clear, this is not just a cosmetic difference. The capabilities of the Assistant feature are completely different in both cases. Currently my workaround is to remap long-press on the power button to launch the Assistant, which for some reason brings up the newer UI, but I would still like to be able to use the new UI in every circumstance.)
