Hello everyone.

I just created a modified version of services.jar to fix an dimming issue of S7 edge but need to be tested. For G935F APB9.

Replace file in this path: system\framework\

Try it and let me know if it works.

Don't forget to create a backup of services.jar. If it causes an bootloop, just replace the old file in TWRP.

Use at your own risk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] haynesteve:
Seems to work okay. No immediate reboot, and none so far. Put maximum brightness on with auto and it stayed put....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] GreyFox777:
Are you 100% sure it works? Try to flash with a flashlight to sensor and check if it goes brighter with disabled auto brightness option and at maximum brightness.

What does this fix again? What bug we talking about

Sent from my Blackberry Bold
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] liamstears:
I am going to answer the does this fix work question best I can here and carefully

Does this fix the brightness issue? Yes

Does this fix give the same screen as when out in the sun? No

This fix without a doubt makes the screen much brighter on full brightness

BUT

If you shine light on the sensor the screen will still get a little bit "brighter"

Now I say "brighter" because in my personal opinion I think it's not brightness, I think our phone is smarter than we think here and instead of just making the screen brighter in sunlight I think it adjusts contrast too to make better viewing in direct sunlight

So I think yes this fix works, much brighter in manual brightness set to full but it's not the same as viewed in direct sunlight as more than brightness is being adjusted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] leonlfm:
Is this fix also solved the problem when you are playing games? Now everytime when i play my game, the brightness is getting darker when you open the game. Package diabler pro fixed it, but when you root your phone the program not working anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] GreyFox777:
You can try it... i don't have an S7 device, so i can't test it. To be safe, always create a backup.

[G4] bigcarguy:
Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.

I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).

The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").

It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.

Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
As you are still on stock and the custom recovery has not flashed your best bet is probably to use Kies (not that I've ever done this, but that is my understanding for your situation)

recovery problem
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
I think it means recovery started but without a command. When you are In recovery screen press vol up (or maybe hold power button in then press vol up, not sure of exact combo)

edit: google recovery "no command"
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canercan:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried all combinations with the buttons in the recovery menu. No luck.

It is also hard to try because it reboots after a few seconds of going to recovery screen. (with the error codes above.)

Also when I get into download mode it says Current Binary: Samsung Official and System Status: Official.

Even if I flash root file through ODIN.

I am also checking your advise no command on google. But did not come up with anything working yet.

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Oh, it's rebooting. An unusual error but I think it is either corrupted memory or memory hardware issue.

If it was my phone I'd try flashing a pit file for your phone/country csc followed by a full stock rom (NOT the single file).

Else send for jtag if you think it's not hardware issue

Also, is there any difference between flashing your zip compared to updating through flashtool?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Neil_Armstrong_:
That's why I'm doin' it, time saver ! :D

Hmpf, 7 hours to upload a zip, and I uploaded first an E6833, I should start with xx53, nevermind.

The first zip's I'll upload will only be composed to system.sin file, compared to Flashtool who flash a whole firmware (fota-kernel, userdata, OEM etc. Ok you can choose to exclude some files xD)

Until userdata is not included it means you do not have to wipe anything before flashing, well I guess :p

[Moto X Q&A] soumen08:
So, I had this exact same problem a while back.

You would need to reset your phone to stock first. Get the requisite firmware first from here.

Next, you need to set up the Android SDK tools, mfastboot etc and do the following -

mfastboot devices
pause
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
pause
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
pause
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
pause
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
pause
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
pause
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
pause
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
pause
mfastboot flash system system.img
pause
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
pause
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
pause
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
pause
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
pause

You would now be stock. Next, put the rom zip and gapps on the phone memory and use twrp to only do a factory reset. Next, you should be able to flash the rom zip file.

I did method 2. This absolutely worked. I'm especially pleased, because I kept seeing that I would need Safestrap and a custom ROM in order to get the Play Store on my HDX 7. So, thanks for the instructions.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] talkslow4me:
If I used Kingroot to root my device can I still use method 2?

Also can I use twrp instead of safestrap? I have no idea what each one does what.

I rooted my tablet (HDX 7 4.5.5.1) using Kingroot, and my ultimate goal is to use google services and youtube properly. And change the OS (Is Nexus rom a good idea?)

Thanks for any help guys.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
- no twrp, only safestrap v4 (which limits roms to cm11 and HDX Nexus)

- Google Services does not play well with FireOS v4. Strongly encourage custom rom if Google/YouTube is the end game

- YouTube via browser is also an option. Opera works well (as do others). Need to sideload via Opera home page or Apkmirror.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mohzean:
Hello

I went through Method 2, but can't get google service running.

There's one step that I could not understand, moving the apk files to system/priv-ap, why do we have to do so?

Thank you
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Google Play Services and FireOS v4 simply do not get along. This is just one of many threads that suggest an integration methodology that yields a suboptimal experience or (more commonly) a crippled device. Bite the bullet and go with Safestrap v4 and a compatible custom rom (cm11 or HDX Nexus).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mxnerd:
Thanks Luxen!!! It works perfectly! Device: Kindle Fire HDX 7" gen 3.

I used method 1.

Installed Kingroot, SuperSU, Safestrap, removed several APKs (MOffice (WPS Office), Cannon, EPSON, HP, Weather) from System/Priv-app using Total Commander (ASTRO file manager does not work) to make spaces, applied Pico OpenGApps, wipe Dalvik/Cache, reboot.

Then boom, it just works, no errors, no nothing! Updated all google apps. Everything works!

Can't thank you enough, great jobs!

Best,
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Luxen:
I am glad it worked out for you. Believe it or not, since I did method 1, I am still running my custom rom since that very day. Stable and smooth sailing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Luxen:
This is the reason I tried to experiment with several different methods. I knew there are some users that are not interested or are too intimidated by Safetrap/Custom Roms, so I am glad it worked for you! :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] leigh80:
I was wondering if anyone could help me a little bit with option 2 in the op's post? I am not the most tech savvy person in the world, so I am struggling a little with it. I have Kindle HDX 7 (3rd gen). I have managed to root using Kingroot. I attempted installing Google store. Got all the files downloaded and I thought installed accurately, but it would never let me sign in. I uninstalled and was going to retry using method 2 above that says move the files to system/private app before installing. I can't figure out how to get them from download to there though. I have ES File Explorer, but downloaded the recommended WIFI Explorer Pro to see file structure on my computer. Tried dragging and dropping and that did not work. Any advice? The instructions for #2 have not been the easiest for me to follow. :(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Several ways to copy/move files in ES File Explorer. Perhaps easiest is to long file and scan options that pop-up (varies by version and config) for 'copy', 'move', 'copy to', etc. If nothing obvious check in 3-dot menu. Then navigate to target folder and tap 'paste'. Multiple files can be selected and copied at once.

If the files reside on your computer you should be able to copy/move using the same technique. Or simply download the directly to your device using the built-in Silk browser then move to target folder using ES File Explorer.

Might want to consider a custom ROM which has the Play Store built-in. While Amazon and Google components get along better in FireOS 5.x it is never a happy marriage with occasional glitches as versions of both change over time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] leigh80:
Thank you Davey126. I will give that a try. I have debated installing a custom rom, but fear that may be a little beyond my capabilities. I am struggling enough just getting Google Play on it. :) I am use to Android, so it has been hard to adjust to how locked down the Kindle is. Maybe if I come across some instructions I can easily follow, I will finally give that a custom rom a try.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Ali Ejea Mc:
Actually you need to turn ON the ROOT EXPLORER option from TOOLS on Es File Explorer. to do so... Tap on TOOLS > ROOT EXPLORER > MOUNT RW and then mark all 4 options on right side (under RW) and tap on OK. doing so you will be able to move, copy and delete files/apks from/to System folders.

Hi [MENTION=5209611]Luxen[/MENTION] and everyone! I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 3rd generation running Fire OS 4.5.5 (Aug. 2015) and want to install Google Play Store on it. After searching for several hours, I can't find any worked method since all threads I found are outdated and people reported they were no longer working. I'm wondering if the method in this thread can work with my Kindle? Thank you!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
In general Amazon and Google components do not play well on FireOS v4.x. It can be made to work...sort of...but tends to be susceptible when Play components auto update which happens frequently. A more reliable approach is to install a custom rom (CM11 or Nexus) that natively supports Google Play Framework, Services and Store.

I have the Fire HDX 7" 3rd gen and was wanting to make it a true Android tablet due to Amazon not updating it further. I have read post after post and I am so confused as to where to even begin. I know it needs to be rooted and a custom ROM installed, I just wish there was one place I could find step by step instructions to do so. I'd rather have Fire OS than have an usable tablet. Maybe I just need to give up trying to do it.

Also wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Not sure how current the version in the Amazon App store is. Best grab a copy from here.

Tip: If unsure post any questions you may have before acting. HDX is a touchy device; easy to brick and hard (often impossible) to recover if you stray too far off the trail. Several great folks monitor these forums and can help as needed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2pezboy:
I had been using the 02/25 version of VRToxin since it came out with very little issues. A couple of days ago my Vzw Note 2 started dropping cell signal. It may hold it for 30 seconds or so, but then drops. Initiating a call will not go through and drops the signal immediately. I can't receive calls either.

I am on ND7 (and have been for a long time).

Did a full wipe, factory reset, and system format, but same results. I think I need to ODIN back and start with a clean slate. My Note 2 has the unlocked bootloader. What should I ODIN back to and what do I need to install prior to flashing VRToxin? (It's been a LONG time since I have had to ODIN! Good testament to Brett as a great developer!!) There isn't much recent discussion on this (that I could find) so I want to make sure I am doing the right thing and not using old info.

This is my daily driver, so I have to do this ASAP. If I can't get it fixed, I will have to replace the phone.... Something I don't want to do!!

I also posted this in the VRToxin thread, but then realized I should put it in the troubleshooting section.

Thanks in advance!!

Many people have already updated and some are reporting a few bugs but overall better quality in front camera pictures as well as improvements with audio output. Some devs caution people from upgrading because if an exploit is found for root, it most likely will be on the original firmware and downgrades are no possible if you update.
