| Posted: 02 Jan 2020 09:47 AM PST If you have an ASMR video or just want to listen to YouTube with your phone's screen off, just tap Share in the YouTube app, tap "Play in VLC". Once in the media player click the three dots (options?) button in the bottom right and select "Play as Audio". You can now switch off the screen and listen instead of putting the phone in your pocket and accidentally click stuff [link] [comments]  | ||

| We should really be keeping an eye on Asus this year Posted: 02 Jan 2020 07:00 PM PST Asus undoubtedly created home runs with the ZenFone 6 and ROG Phone II. I can't wait to see what they do this year. Perhaps the ZenFone 7 could compete effectively with the OnePlus 8. I personally think the ROG Phone III could be a smash hit among this community if it were released with a less gamery aesthetic, microSD card support, and water resistance. I just hope it would have Verizon support. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 02 Jan 2020 05:01 AM PST TLDR: pretty pictures of the stars, link at the bottom So I went on a camping trip into the Wahiba desert during new moon (= no light = lots of stars!), and I decided to try out the latest GCam 7 port on my OnePlus 6, which includes the astrophotography feature. For those unfamiliar: the latest Pixels introduced this feature which is like a night mode on steroids, specifically tuned to make pictures of stars. What it does is take pictures of the sky for 1-5 minutes (during which the phone has to be on a tripod, which I don't have... so I resorted to sticking a selfy stick in the sand), and then use google's magic AI-sauce to churn out a great picture of the stars. This is harder than you'd think: even with a high-end DSLR it's hard to take great astro pics, as you can't really increase the exposure time over 30 seconds: any longer than that and the stars become stripes instead of dots due to earth rotating like a little bitch. Google accounts of all of this. Doing the same with a DSLR would mean lots of work in photoshop to combine the multiple pictures The result is AMAZING. Not just did MY PHONE capture the milky way, it even handled having us being around a campfire in the foreground. Without further ado, this is the result: https://imgur.com/a/mYSQakD For anybody wondering, I used the Urnyx GCAM port: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/ [link] [comments]  | ||

| Samsung Tab S5e. TIP: Drastically increased speed Posted: 02 Jan 2020 06:45 AM PST I bought this mainly for media consumption but straight out the box the speed was horrendous. I noticed every time I switch been any app or to the home screen there was a big slowdown and a very noticeable change in display colour temperature. It took me a while to realise; in the display settings -> Screen mode, by default the mode is set to 'adaptive display', after changing it to 'basic' the speed DRASTICALLY increased! Secondly, after to time letting your eyes adjust, you realise 'basic' is actually more colour accurate! For example, white isn't very yellow anymore. Even my technophobic partner said when watching a movie with adaptive display "why does the grass look luminescent" My tablet is now usable and I no longer regret buying it. Give it a try. Furthermore, you can disable security lock to speed up wake from sleep. Do that at your own risk! TLDR: Settings > Display > Screen mode > Basic. Let your eyes adjust, this is actually more colour accurate and movies look much better. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Guide to change default android emojis (root/non-root) Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:31 PM PST Why would I do that? If you don't want to root and/or your desired emoji is not available in magisk modules library, do this first:
note- Proceed on your own risk, I'll suggest making a nandroid backup before. Non-rootVia TWRP (unlocked bootloader is required)how to intall twrp
RootMagisk modules
Using any root explorer tool
edit - removed adb version from non-root solution because it required TWRP anyways [link] [comments]  | ||
