WOW

 

[mbwilson111]

Before I try to get my Word of the Week selection in before the word changes (late again... kind of) I want to thank all of you who remembered Tom on the anniversary of his death. It means a lot. I struggle daily but this month has been especially difficult because now all the memories are going to be more than two years old. I can't explain exactly but it makes me feel all of a sudden like he has moved even farther away I still need for him to be here... with me.... every ...single... day. Somehow it brought him a bit closer again to know that others still remember.... and care.

Ok... the WOW selection (Hard)

I hope some of you know the music of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar. If not their albums are all worth listening to. I have all three CDs but I did not realize that eventually Tracy was able to record the songs that Dave had written before his sudden death. He came home from a run and dropped dead. I know how she must have felt. I am still traumatized by what happened to us.

Tracy Grammar - Hard to Make It
"from her "Flower of Avalon" 2005. Signature Sounds Recordings This is the first full-length album by Tracy Grammer since the sudden passing of her "partner in all things" Dave Carter. The tracks, with one exception are Dave's unrecorded songs. If you have not heard the music of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer you have a lot of catching up to do. Their three albums are celebrations of Carter's deeply rooted songwriting and joyful musical collaboration with Grammer. Their personal relationship did not show up in the song lyrics, but in the unmistakable wholeness of their sound. Although Carter's creative fire burned impossibly bright, Grammer always seemed an equal partner in the duo."
If you go to the YouTube page you will this reviewer wrote a lot more.

Are there any Android gurus on this thread?

I'm trying to figure out why the Back and Recents buttons switched places on my new HiBy RS6, and switch them back.
The version of Android 9 that's on the RS6 does not have any Navigation Bar settings for the buttons - except the ability to turn Off the whole Navigation Bar, and use gestures instead.
I didn't change any setting that was specific to the Navigation Bar buttons - but they're now reversed from what they were (and what all my other Android devices are).

Any suggestions for how to switch them back to the way they should be? Thanks!

You can do this through the adb shell....

Thanks!
That was simple.
I wonder if there's an adb command to change the Status Bar Clock config file, so that it displays Hours:Minutes:Seconds?

Unless Hiby disabled the System UI Tuner, this should work.....

1. Start System UI Tuner
   adb root
   adb shell pm enable com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
   adb shell am start -n com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
2. Select Status bar
3. Select Time (penultimate item)
4. Select Show hours, minutes and seconds

3. Select Time (penultimate item)
4. Select Show hours, minutes and seconds

For Step 1, I've been unable to get System UI Tuner to appear in the settings menu.
When I type adb root, I get the reply "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".
And typing adb shell pm enable com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity, I get the reply "Security exception: Shell cannot change component state for com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.tuner.TunerActivity to 1"

Do you have your USB set to debug mode in Developer Tools? You may need to root your RS6 to do the change. Let me look.

I found a few apps that make System UI Tuner work.

1) This one looks promising and has a lot of options. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner&hl=en_US&gl=US

2) This one is super easy to use and I tested it and it works on the RS6 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bryancandi.android.uituner&hl=en_US&gl=US

Yes, when switching USB Debug mode to On, the RS6 restarts, and then indicates on the Notification pull-down that Debugging is on.
I'd like to root the RS5, but haven't done any research on what it would take (like finding out if there's a TWRP Recovery available).

Here is a discussion board for rooting the RS6. https://npaudio.boards.net/thread/243/hiby-rs6

Thanks! That second app worked for me, as well.
Just wish it had the option of placing the clock in the center of the Status Bar...

The first app has that option, but I'm not sure if it will work on the RS6.
