Dont start funds for developers who need phones, too many times it comes out bad.

We allow bounties, but funds need to be pledged not held by a single person, and they should not be paid out unless the project is completed, and posted (and is of primarily original work).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] psych0r3bel:
Fair enough. I probably should have checked to see if there was any rule against this. Regardless, from a common sense standpoint you make...well, sense. Wrote myself into a corner there. >.>

As for the entire OP being gibberish...you're essentially saying we're back at square one, or is he at least barking up the right tree, in your opinion? As you can tell, I'm a little overzealous when it comes to this phone getting root lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jakebake102:
Well he did manage to get root so I don't know how it is all gibberish.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jcase:
I don't believe you or him on that. It is gibberish because its factually wrong, if it wasnt factually wrong I wouldnt have a reason to doubt someone in particular got root. When you make it apparent you are making stuff up or dont know what your talking about, it casts a major doubt.

Plus the proof shown, just showing that syscope got tripped, its not showing root, its not showing unlock, its literally showing nothing of any indication.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Fenny:
It is possible to see and not understand. Often times an opinion held about the cause of a specific behavior in a complex system can be premature, and when new information comes to light suddenly all of the indicators that pointed to one cause suddenly mean something very different. The problem comes not with forming these theories about what causes a behavior, but in voicing that opinion before it is fully vetted out by your own tests.

In short, it is possible to be right about what you see, but wrong about what caused it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jakebake102:
Ok well thanks for looking this over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] psych0r3bel:
Everyone beat me to it, but yeah. He said it, hasn't proven it. If he managed to get root, great. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but now we have a known dev basically discrediting everything based upon his own expertise.

So from this point forward, the onus of proof is on the OP to prove he has/had root. Nothing a screenshot can't prove. It's entirely possible he did get root, but for a different reason than he stated, and posting his proof opens up the floor for a discussion on the exact process. The result doesn't produce the method, so maybe he stumbled upon root by chance in the midst of his work, which led him to think his method worked. Too many variables. That's why we discuss these things. :)

Hey jcase (I know you from the old days on XDA, just a bit undercover now for XDA reasons.) Anyway, please don't let the excitement of some folks turn you off to this whole idea. These Qualcomm variants of the S7/Edge are majorly great devices, and root would be ****ing awesome for everyone, so people are gonna get worked up about it. You KNOW how XDA gets. If you believe that there might be a straightforward exploit available, similar to the CID directory exploit that was used in the VS5, please pass on any help you can. (Or even if it has nothing to do with that route.)

All I know is that if you, or bceups, or anyone could actually help make this happen (and this is definitely a "they say it'll never happen" moment, like the Evo3d or the VS5) then you'd be rockstars of the community, more than you are now, however much that means to you. (It means a lot to me, I promise you.) If you think there's hope, and you're willing to give it a shot, ****ing bad ass... If not, maybe PM evilpotatoman and give him a nudge in the direction you'd think would work best.

Either way, I, and I'm sure every GS7/EDGE customer in America who's into Android, definitely have your back.

Let us know your thoughts, and if there's actually a ray of hope.

That's all I got.

Peace, bro.

Hello,

I just rooted my phone using odin and flashing the file CF Root SM J500FN. I installed twrp above it and it is all okay, I also installed xposed. But once I reboot my phone in TWRP normally then it doesn't boot anymore. It goes in bootloop on the twrp screen. I fixed the problem flashing the original firmware but I'd like to mod my phone. Is there a way to mod it without getting bootlops? :S

EDIT: I solved the problem installing the new TWRP 3.0.0 for our J5. It is stable and it doesn't have the reboot while TWRP Bug.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wwax:
Hi,

Does anybody know who provides the algorithm for the biometric scanner in Oneplus Two Marshmallow OxygenOS 3.0?

It's so much faster and more accurate than the old OxygenOS 2.*.

I think the old algo was from Precise Biometrics but is the new one Fingerprints Cards own?

Or is it just the fact that Marshmallow is better suited and optimized for fingerprint scanning?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitrus-:
With in mind that the current fingerprint scanning algorithm used in CM13 is the same as OOS Lollipop but still being a heck of a lot quicker I'd say it has not to do with the way MM integrates fingerprint scanning in the authentication process.

Actually, changing the file is easy, but I'm not sure how we can replace the system NvCustomize.apk after changing it. even if we sign it, it has to be with the original sign key, which I dont believe we have.

Anyone been doing this before?

Edit:

Actually, I did it with XPosed and a custom module that I wrote. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't want to usa a resource from the sdcard/internal storage, it has to be hardcoded in the app. Ill continue to look for a solution.

Hi,

I own a GlobalSat BT328 (http://www.buygpsnow.com/GlobalSat-...-Performance-Bluetooth-GPS-(BT-328)__916.aspx)

I turned bluetooth on, made my 8525 able to discover other devices, I made a partnership with the BT-GPS-335A64 (no idea why it has a different name here), I then opened a new COM port called BT-GPS-335A64 (COM0).

I have my bluetooth device on, and I loaded up google maps. I tried to track my location..I don't need a fancy GPS device. I just need to be able to see where I am on a map.

Google Maps is not able to find my GPS reciever. How is this? My 8525 found it. I have no other way to even test if the GPS works or not. I don't want to spend money on a tomtom or anything. I just want to track my location and google maps sounded like a good idea.

Any suggestions? This bluetooth device is supposed to work with the 8525. It found it, but not sure why google maps can not.

Thanks =)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EkS:
Change the com port to com4
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lsatblu:
I did that but Google Maps is still unable to find the GPS reciever even though I have them right next to each other. It is strange because my 8525 was able to locate the GPS when I partnered them in the settings and all.

Any other reasons why this might not work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bcbarnes:
If you've never gotten a fix with that GPS unit before, it could take 10 minutes or more for it to determine its current location. Make sure you are in a clear area, and give it a good 10 minutes to make sure it has a fix before giving up on it. Also, you might try downloading a program called VisualGPSce, which shows the current satallite status and signal information, and you'll be able to watch it as it works on getting the fix.

HTH

Brian.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lsatblu:
I downloaded that program. It says "Fix not available". I'm going to let it run and see what happens. I am trying this inside my dorm room, but I'll try it on the road tomorrow. I just hope I can get it to work. :)

If nothing shows up after 10 minutes then what should I do? Is it possible the GPS device is no good? I'm not asking for a lot out of it. I just want to see my location in case I get lost somewhere.

..I waited about 10 minutes and my GPS auto shut off. The 8525 never found a fix with that program.

Edit: I searched and people have got that device to work with the 8125 before, but I haven't seen anything about the 8525. I want it to work so bad.

I picked up a Bluetooth GPS unit for £18. It's a 44 channel unit and does a cold boot in 20 seconds, warm boot in 4 seconds, and a hot boot in 1 second. Lasts for like 3 months on standby and 20 hours when in use. I've even had it working when it's been sat in the passenger footwell and inside a house (by the window)

All in all a great little unit.

I have the garmin mobile XT unit. it works great with the garmin software that came with it. what i have noticed, but haven't tested, is that it cannot pair with both google maps and the garmin software. this doesnt seem to effect you however.

i must say that i was able to ONCE and only ONCE out of many attempts get the GPS unit to come up on google maps. so it can be done, dont give up. it was neat to put it in satellite mode and see where i was. i agree it should be a lot simpler to do this, i think it was truly dumb luck the one time i was able to do it because each time i go back to try again it is not working. most GPS will pick up signal from a window, so its probably not that.

not sure if this is WM6 only, but in my setting>connection>external GPS there are a few options to tinker with.

GPS program port

GPS hardware port

and then the manage GPS automatically option

i feel like the first time i did get it to work, i never went into this menu. however the second time i tried, it gave me a message saying that the program and hardware ports could not be the same. then the third time i tried, it let them be the same, but still didn't work.

so unfortunately all i have to offer are a few tips to try and look at. i dont know enough about it to tell you what will make it work.

if you do get it to work please post back and let us know! i would love to be able to let my nav software run in the background and dictate for me which turns to make while i watch the world around me whiz by via satellite view =]

Inside your dorm room? At least tell me it is sitting on a window sill or somewhere that it can actually see the sky? If not, I'm not surprised it isn't working. For the first fix, take it outside where it can see as much of the sky as possible.

I set it to com port 4 and then had to go into the bluetooth settings and create a new com port and called it com port 4 and bingo everything started working.

Google Maps locates the GPS and position

TomTom found everything instantly when I set my GPS up in TomTom under com port 4.

Even WiFiFoFum is tracking everything perfectly.

I bought a JRT-29 for $61 it was one heck of a good deal. 42ch, Bluetooth reciever, included a car charger and usb cable. http://www.gpswindow.com/en/picture.asp?idtype=JRT28 (sorry the website sucks and I can't find the ebay auction that I bought it from)

Strange..I went near the window and the program GPSInfo (http://www.usglobalsat.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=25) went crazy showing me numbers and stuff. This was with COM4: 4800. All of the weird numbers stop when I turn my GPS unit off..but it still says no fix on that program.

Google Maps is still unable to track my location when I put it to find my settings or when I put it to COM4 4800..

VisualGPSec was unable to find a fix too.

So still no luck yet..

I got my Garmin gps10 working on my 8525 running WM6 today and thought I would share what I found.

Step 1: Pair the 2 devices (noticed with my Garmin I have to go in and refresh the services every time I turn the GPS unit on and off)

Step 2: Set your GPS outbound com port (I used 4 thanks to the help of this post)

Step 3: WM6 options Start>Settings>Connections>External GPS

Program Tab setting "com 5" or any other free one. VisualGPSce showed my other com ports used (1: Serial IR, 3: IrComm, 6: Serial, 7: Serial_BTUR)

Program Tab settings "com 4 4800" Or whatever you set your BT com port to and baud rate your device uses

Access Tab "check Manage GPS automatically"

Step 4: Set Google maps tracking to use WM6 settings

Step 5: Checked the "Track Location"

One other thing I noticed while using VisualGPSce I could not choose com 4 I had to use SER04: and instantly got connection to my Garmin.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Actually there is no contenst, S7 will easily win. The P9 does not have optical image stabilization, for starters. The aperture is F2.2 in the P9, which means that the S7 is one stop better (100% more light entering the sensor).

And the "270% more light" thing is only for the monochrome sensor. It remains to be seen if the software processing will be able to do something really useful with the black and white images.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
Half a stop, so it's 50% more light. Still pretty big difference in favor of the S7 and specially since it also has OIS so definitely a lot better than P9 in darkness . Not impressed with the P9 camera. As an owner of a Mate 8 I find it a little dissapointing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Actually if you want to get really technical, the difference between F1.7 and F2.2 is 0.83 EV, so 83% more light in favor of the S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jacobgong:
But there's 2 cameras so that's already 100% more. The monochrome sensor also has no color filter for 200% more light.

So if one regular f2.2 camera is 1 unit, the P9 can claim to recieve 4 units of light. Compared to the 1.83 units of the s7.
