Hi, i was wondering if anyone bought the mate 8 from the UAE site.

I did, one month ago. Very satisfied. Quick shipping (3 days to Norway), they declared the shipment according to my wishes and the phone is perfect.

The only thing I have to note is the _UK_ charger they supply. I need the EU version, but it seems impossible to find in the aftermarket. Of course you can use any micro usb charger (and I do), but the original charger is a fast charging 9V 2A, so keep that in mind. I also use a travel adapter with the UK charger but it's really bulky that way..
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
You can buy adapter like this. :D

I just picked up a Mi Max. The thing is amazing. The battery lasts longer than the Mate 8's and the display is huge! The Snapdragon 652 is very fast, faster than you think. I liked my Mate 8 but wanted something larger.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kge420:
I have a working SM-T217S which has a broken and irreparable charging port. This board works fine when used with a charged battery. I also have a SM-T217S which boots and has unresponsive touch screen. The touch issue is related to the main board. I have swapped the board into the non charging tab and the problem follows. These devices both have a clean esn and I have nothing to gain by porting for the purpose of getting around a blocked device. I feel the issue is software related and would like to know if pulling the complete os from the working board and installing it on the non working board is possible.

I have tried flashing 3 different stock recoverys via both Kies and odin with no success.

I'm not sure if what I'm asking is possible or legal but if it is do-able I'd like to give it a shot. Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Valence1981:
Last year I got annoyed that the Wishlist icon was repopulating itself to my Favorites every time I deleted it, so I got a wild hair to root my Kindle and take care of that junk for good. I did this before reading the numerous warnings about how this was an awful device to root on a whim. I proceeded to delete a bunch of system files related to Amazon ads and tracking. After a reboot, I found myself stuck at a flashing white Favorites screen. I could get to the Settings menus, but most choices didn't work and just took me back to Settings without changing anything. I couldn't connect to a wifi network, but I could see the networks, click on Connect to Network, and then it just took me back to Settings. I couldn't change any of the Developer settings. I did hard resets from that mode and from the boot up recovery menu. Nothing could get me out of this state.

Anyway, I posted thread about this when it happened, here: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/help/deleted-files-flashing-favorites-screen-t3116682/page1

In the end, I didn't have the heart to scam Amazon, so I just bought a used HDX 7 and put the bricked one in the drawer in hopes of a future fix. Last night, my replacement Kindle's screen was crushed by some mysterious force, possibly a kitty cat or an adjustable bed. Though it's tempting to think about trying to swap the screens, I don't want to crack the screen and wind up with two broken displays (plus a bricked Kindle). So I thought I'd check back and see if there were any developments on the fixing-dumb-newbie-mistakes front for the bricked one.

The device does not show up in Windows XP, 7, or 8.1. The Kindle itself recognizes it's charging. As I mentioned in the old thread, I tried a Fastboot cable, but that apparently doesn't work on this model. So any hope? It's so frustrating because it seems like if I could just get the wifi to work I could download the latest OS update and it would fix this.

I understand if there still are no fixes for this. It was a dumb move to tinker with this in the first place. I was just hopeful something might have changed, since last I asked about it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RagManX:
No adb access? That sucks, as it should be pretty easy to fix if you could adb push. Were it mine, I'd go ahead and try to replace the screen on the functioning tablet. Not what you want to hear, but I think that's the only way to get working again. Best of luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
You're done if device is running 4.5.2 w/no adb access. There are a few last resort unbrick methods/tools but they are geared toward older versions of FireOS (v3.2.6 and below). Replacing the screen on a 7" HDX is difficult; copious use of glue makes for a tough job. Might check auction sites; prices are pretty low for 16GB models. Also consider the latest 7" tab from Amazon (2015 Fire). Specs are awful vs HDX but it really isn't that bad, especially for video and with apps designed for lower resolution screens (many are). Fully rootable with option for custom roms. FireOS v5 is a nice step up from v4, faster and more 'android like' (although still heavily skinned).

WARNING. THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION. YOU DO NOT NEED TO QUOTE ME AND REPLY IF YOU DISAGREE. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF YOU GET BUTTHURT OVER THIS. IF YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON TO GET BUTTHURT EASILY, PLEASE SKIP THIS POST AND CONTINUE WITH THE THREAD. THANK YOU.

Stock, rooted & custom kernel with Xposed. I used to use Cataclysm mod.

I can't find a ROM that I like and I have no PC to build my own, so it is what it is. Stock.

Without specifically naming any names... Most (read, all) ROMs seem to be "slightly modified stock" or just packed full of features to the point of "why". I get that users want options, but a ROM with Slim AND AOSP recents? A ROM with CMTE AND RRO/Layers? A ROM with the slide out app bar like Samsung devices AND spinning app circle? 3 different PIE options to use in your ROM settings? Way too bloated for my liking. Like I said, I know users want options, but back in the day there was literally all the options spread across 20 or so ROMs which were all actively developed. Now we have all of the options because the limited ROMs we do have are packed full of literally everything and I can't take it.

Again that or "stock + this - bloat". I can do that on my own on stock, and I do now. I've tried every ROM XDA has to offer and I prefer stock at this point. No offense to any developers.

PSA. If this reply left a salty and / or sour taste in your mouth, you probably should have adhered to my warning above. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure DarkSpice is for Kylo Kernel only because it uses intelliactive instead of interactive. I'm also pretty sure it's been discontinued, but it's essentially the same exact thing as RedHawk.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaydog:
I get this.

Seems like stock/rooted/Xposed seems the popular way to go, but I use Benzo ROM. It has built in root, Viper4Android, AdAway, call recording, and much more. Sure, you can stay stock, root, install Xposed and tweak everything individually, but you're still not going to get official OTA updates, use Android Pay etc...

The custom ROMs are updated with the newest security patches before most people even get an official update...

And to that guy above- too many options?!? I could say "Just don't use them", but I'm guessing that they will still somehow haunt you... You're on your own buddy...

Now if stock is enough, and you don't need all of the other stuff, then that's ?

Just my ¢2...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peconaut:
You have to buy the EX Kernel Manager from the app store ( the hack apps don't work has to be official). Then download the DarkSpice R6.txt file. Place it in SDCard ->Elementalx-->gov_profiles folder. After you are done go to EX Kernel Manager app then CPU section then governor options. Load it and make sure to click apply in boot. Also have these other setting on

DarkSpice is for Elementalx only while RedHawk is only for Kylo
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratsablive:
Stock, Systemless Root, with modified build.prop to allow for tethering. Thought that would break Android Pay but it hasn't.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkoreaper:
You got it wrong. Kylo has all the same governors as ElementalX plus more. What works for ElementalX WILL work for Kylo, but the same can't always be said for the other way around. Kylo has governors like Intelliactive and Despair which ElementalX doesn't have. DarkSpice began as the same as GhostPepper except that it was tuned specifically for the 6P. I was wrong earlier when I said it was like RedHawk.

I've flip-flopped so much, I was running a custom ROM, then got tired of the time it took me and decided to use stock for a while. I went to stock rooted, then stock with the locked bootloader to be 100% stock, but I got bored of that and ended up back on PureNexus where I am now. I've tried many ROMs and kernels as well as stock, and the absolute best battery life is PureNexus with Franco kernel, by far.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peconaut:
I did not know that very interesting. Are you using kylo. If so what your experience on it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkoreaper:
It's great, I've had no problems whatsoever with it. The developers are top-notch and I like that there are 3 flavors to choose from with every release; it's the same kernel, but built with different versions of the compiler software. There is 4.9, 5.3, and 6.0 each one is using a different version of the compiler with 6.0 being the newest and most likely to have bugs (still highly unlikely) and 4.3 being the oldest but most stable. They also use their own toolchain called UBERTC that basically takes all the great stuff from other toolchains, like Linaro, and mixes them together to achieve the best overall user experience.

They also have their own ROMs. You can find all the information and downloads for their ROM and Kernel here: https://plus.google.com/communities/117685307734094084120
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peconaut:

I'm inserting my boot in my mouth a bit here but I just went back to stock. By nature, I'm a flashoholic and love feature packed ROM's. However, stability, dependability, and all around usefulness are important. For those reasons, I put my phone back to stock.

I gotta say it's pretty damn smooth stock, non-rooted, everything. I may run a systemless root just for adaway, as that has more priority to me than using Android Pay. I always have my wallet with me so...

My first phone ever not rooting and my longest owned phone was my Nexus 5 that I just retired which was purchased on release day. So for past 2 years I have really been away from the rooting world. I just purchases a Nexus 6P and had no plans to root it but low and behold finding out you cannot tether on stock.

So by running systemless root do you still receive official updates and are you able to install it assuming you would then need to re-root after each update?

If you un-root after the build prop edit does the tether still work?

I looked around at some of the custom Roms but just got so used to everything working all the time on my phone and not worrying about bugs and continually updating for fixes and worrying what else gets broken each time something else gets fixed so I definitly want to stay stock.
