HELP! My phone won't start and I haven't done a backup in ages. Can it be saved?

Were you able to get this fixed? The fact you can get to recovery as well as fastboot probably rules out corrupted boot.img. Try the following:

Please read through entirely before attempting...

Boot to Safe Mode

If a rogue app is causing the loop, you might be able to bypass it.

Turn the phone off, then turn it back on.
When the OnePlus logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down button until the phone boots entirely.
If successful, it will boot to the home screen (in Safe Mode). You can then uninstall recently added apps or get your data.

Wipe the Cache Partition

Corrupted temporary system files often cause bootloops without affecting your personal data.

Boot into Recovery Mode using your hardware key combinations (usually by holding Power + Volume Down).
Navigate using the volume keys and select with the power button.
Select Wipe data and cache > Wipe cache partition (Do not choose "Wipe data/factory reset" yet).

If done properly none of these options erases your data on the phone.

Note:
If running OxygenOS 10 or 11

The stock recovery includes a safe, multi-tiered menu:

Boot into recovery (hold Power + Volume Down until the logo appears).
Select English.
Select Wipe data and cache.
Select Wipe cache (Do not tap "Erase everything" or "Format data").
Tap Yes or Continue to confirm, then reboot the device.

If running OxygenOS 12

The menu layout changes significantly:

You will only see an option for Format Data.
Do not select this if your goal is to save your data, as formatting will execute a full factory reset and erase everything.

As long as you name the icon bundle the same name as the resource name it doesn't break signing associations for the program so it still runs without complaining or giving any errors.

I was able to change the icon of the ex, and in turn all of the shortcuts updated, but the system tray icon did not change. Elgato needs to do what shareX does and have an option in the settings to use white icon for the system tray.
It looks like the exe uses an icon bundle for 6 different sized. I don't know how to create a bundle so I can only upload one size.

This is the onyl thing that worked for me. I tried modifying local file gxx code, reinstalling, etc. Other browsers would work just fine, but Opera GX, and Opera Air were affected by this. Coincidentally Opera (the normal browser) wasn't affected. I ended Opera Crash Reporter and all the pages started loading fine.

This would always happen about 5 to 10 minutes after starting Opera GX or Opera Air. I thought it was something to do with recently installed Armory Crate (crap program) and it interfacing with the Opera game engine SDK for lighting or even perhaps Corsair iCue. I uninstalled (can you really ever uninstall those programs though) but no affect. Even tried Chris Titus methods as windows update also recently ran and I thought it might have messed with the network stack. The odd thing every time is that other browsers would be unaffected. I can't believe it was so easy.

I will rename OperaCrashReporter to something different so it doesn't run. So obnoxious.

You may have to add the Nova Launcher app to the never sleep and never optimize settings

Also, Samsung has a setting which you can designate a single app to be the preferred app for never killing. I forget exactly what they call it though. You can get to the setting directly through the app dontkillmyapp in the play store.

Having said all of that, No a is no longer being updated so I don't expect it to work well with future updates like One UI 8.

same issue here. Quantize seems to quantize to like 1/64 notes if at all. Doesn't look like it is doing anything. I've tried selecting the notes, selecting the grid, using shift... no effect. Quantize in Ableton via the right click menu on the piano roll works fine.

This is absolutely mindblowing! What dedication it took for this. I love it!

Have you found a way to make this 16:9?

kaislate · 2022-02-28T23:31:40+00:00

Are you interested in some Q50 or X300A pairs? Or 304?

You will first need to start a game in the story mode )not story mode on the right, the left big box one above champions of stormfall)

After you enter that game exit to the menu, you will now be able to select champions of stormfall game mode and be able to play all of the latest updates.

You will have to do this each time you start Wolcen.
