[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
guys rn3 is an amazing device and it has got amazing developement going on which makes me wanna try the range of amazing custom roms available for this device

however there are so many damn complications like different methods of unlocking bootloaders,different twrps,boot patching files etc.

although there are some good guides available they are still not noob friendly in my opinion and the fact that there are so many threads made by people who brick there redmi note 3 is a proof of that

i am new to the rn3 developement forums and terms like fastboot rom developer rom edl are all confusing to me at this point developement has reached to a level that i believe it is really difficult for someone who is a noob to even try flashing cm

all i want is a really really noob friendly guide which covers in complete detail all the instructions related to these topics

1. bootloader unlock , which method to choose and why

2.twrp version best recommended for flashing both miui and custom roms

3.need for patching boot file and in which

cases

4.any other stuff you might think is necessary
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
thanx a lot helping out mahn

will go with the official unlock

and official twrp

i have been waiting a lot to try cm 13 :)

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sean82007:
Hello Everyone,

I am curious, I have seen a thread about different layers that can be used. Maybe I am missing something but I only see one ROM that actually supports layers now? I'm hoping this thread and the members of XDA can pull together and maybe help me compile a list of the ROMs for our OP3's that actually have layers support instead of the CMTE. No offense to CMTE but I like layers more. Thank you everyone. I have been searching for nearly a week now.....

Regards,

Sean
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] F4uzan:
All ROMs that is 6.0.1 and isn't Oxygen (since Oxygen has a limited support for Layers) or CM supports Layers. Additionally, Layers has been succeeded by Substratum (or OMS), and most ROMs nowadays uses Substratum instead of Layers (since it is better).

So, tl;dr, just use any ROM with [OMS] in their thread title
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sean82007:
thank you

Thank you very much F4uzan. Maybe I am completely lost, but up until OrionOS, which is the only rom that has a substratum layers setting, can I use substratum layers on CMTE based roms? I never tried, but I'm intrigued now.

Edit:

Nearly every rom, whether it is AICP, AOSP, AOKP, Pacman, etc none of them state layer support or substratum support and they all seem to use the CM theme engine....am I lost here?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] F4uzan:
Let me rephrase my statements from before.

Anything based on AOSP should be compatible with Layers (take a note here, Layers is different from Substratum), unless stated that they either use CMTE or Substratum.

Anything that is based on CM only uses CMTE, it cannot use Layers or Substratum due to the modification done in the core-level by CM themselves.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sean82007:
I appreciate that. So in other words, if they don't state substratum or layers its safe to say that nearly every rom for the OP3 except for Orion do not support substratum or layers. I have tried like, no kidding, 15 or so this week and only found Orion to have support for substratum. Do you know of one specifically that has substratum support?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] F4uzan:
Tipsy and Cardinal both supports Substratum, I think you may need to install the Substratum app for it to work, though.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sean82007:
F4uzan you are amazing and correct. Substratum is new to me, and I didn't really mess with layers when it first came out because of so many different issues. I didn't realize that substratum had an app for itself, I figured the roms that had substratum, would have it already built into the rom when developed. Thank you. Tipsy im currently on the latest but I didn't see substratum or CMTE on it and I was like what the **** I have to make a thread for this all. It was driving me nuts.

Thanks in advance,

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] meanhacker:
I'm guessing this breaks OTA of official phoenix OS, but do let me know if my assumption is incorrect
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] moman2000:
I'm not entirely sure of this, but it could possibly have broken the ability to update via OTA.

It would make sense that OTA Updates won't work due to foreign files (SU, CM APPS) in the system partition.

I on Team-OctOs 6.0.1 ROM and the stock camera doesn't have a fps option. I have tried Open Camera an set it to record at 120 and the camera froze. So I set it to 60 but it still only record at 15fps. (ouch).

Hi

The lte band currently is 5

How can I make it to stick to band 40 only.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] pritamdutt:
i dont know if it works or not, but in samsung stock rom..usually the lte band is changed from service mode.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Me_Ashish_:
The service codes such as *0011# than entering Q than 0000 etc only work on or before Lollipop, you can try if that ROM is Lollipop (I have J7 2016). I also wanted to change Jio band but no solution.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] messi2050:
I found this in the j7 group

Hunny Malhotra:

so guys here it is how you can change lte bands on samsung j7 for better speed in jio..

step 1 - first download nd install

"SHORTCUT MASTER LITE" from play store..

step 2 - then open it nd go to secret code explorer above on right side.

step 3 - then select system apps under options nd scroll down.

step 4 - go to code "2263" click on it and press "launch 0"

step 5 - then u ll reach service mode nd see stack 1 nd stack 2 there.

step 5 - go to stack 1 ( if jio in port 1)

nd go to band disable.

step 6 - select lte there nd disable band 5.

step 7- then press back 2 times above on right.

step 8 - then go to band selection nd open lte/gsm/tds/auto mode.

step 9 - now select band 40 as preferred nd close it.

here u go..

but speed depends on others factors too coverage in ur area..or u already on same band etc.

but still u ll get almost double speed what u r getting rightnow..

u can also disable band 3 but that might result in lost of networks in case u r in poor network area.

Thanks for the reply, but actually the problem is not unlocking the phone, because i remember the pin, the main problem is why my Zenfone 3 seems like not detect my fingerprint scanner, you can see the screenshot, there should be a fingerprint menu, but now its gone. how is that possible and how do i fix it? its so annoying because fingerprint is the major feature which makes it a bit expensive.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
I seriously don't know. If i were in that situation. I would backup all my data first. Then reset the phone to factory state. If it happens again. I would contact Asus. Or check their forums for a solution.

For some reason i can use nova launcher prime and still able to use the fingerprint scanner. I even went as far as unintalled the Zen UI launcher.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
Probably due to root access, mine is unrooted so fingerprint won't work with Nova. Installing dan configuring Screen Lock Pro will fix this, but have to wait 10 seconds after screen off to allow fingerprint unlock. Not so convinient.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] scuderialoki:
Exactly, the convenience it brings is really great. Especially if you have a 25 character password lol. My password's too long for me to enter it all the time. And yes, maybe because of root access i'm able to do that

It is how Android 6 behaves when a third party app locks screen.

Have you ran Asus hardware test?

If not - have a try:

- open phone calculator (stock Asus) and type .12345+=

Pls note - no zero before the dot

- in the pop-up app, select single test, then fingerprint test.

If the test result is ok, your issue is software only. In contrary, it's a hardware failure.

Just make sure it isn't hardware failure by running above mentioned hardware test. If the test suggests there is nothing wrong with hardware, then switch to swipe as unlock method first before setting up and returning to fingerprint unlock from scratch.

It's happened to me also. I have done the test (.12345+= in calculator) and it said "something wrong with fingerprint test". For this case i'll contact Asus.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Jotaxfilho:
Same problem here. Last night the fingerprint scanner suddenly stop for a few hours. Before that, I had updated ZenUi launcher to (4.7 Version 3.0.8.14_170112). I really don't know if there something to do with this, but after reboot several times and unnistall the ZenUi update the fingerprint started working again. After that I updated the ZenUi one more time, and everything seems to work fine.

Today I did the hardware test mentioned in this topic and it says the fingerprint is ok.

So I really don't know what happened.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Eighthourblink:
My goal is to COMPLETELY get rid of any root files / SuperSu files that are located on my device without having to reformat. Couple months ago i managed to install SuperSu and gained root and I did my own cleanup of bloatware apps and whatnot. Since then I have deleted SuperSu by going into the settings of SuperSu and clicking on the "Clean Root" option but without doing the original boot files option. Doing so, the phone reboots, cleans up , deletes SuperSU and i no longer have root. This is great and all but just one problem reminds.....

I can no longer play Pokemon GO because of the newest update that came out yesterday since it checks for rooted devices. Is there a way to completely remove all the files that are associated with the root process / SuperSU so that I can play this game. I have tried to use the app "SafetyNet Helper" to check for Google's SafetyNet CTS tests and it fails after i tried uninstalling SuperSU. I have heard of the Magisk app but it looks like you need a unlocked bootloader to install it.

Is there a way to get my phone back to the original state without reformatting my phone through Odin. At the end of the day, yes, i would rather have a rooted device than to play Pokemon GO but say what you will but this game has gotten me out, walking around my town, being social and actually making friendships.

Thanks for any help in advance,

I purchased the a Tmobile Galaxy S7 via Swappa so wanted to do a refurbishment check.

Phone INFO app says that my Samsung serial number is 00000000000.

Even if I used the dialer code *#06#, it displays the IMEI only.

Is that normal? On a youtube video, it shows galaxy s7 displaying both IMEI and S/N when the dialer code is used.

I am wondering if all T-mobile s7 is like this or is it just mine?

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] esjames:
It should display both, can you post a screenshot of your "About phone?"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tyrone1:
Mine does both. Wonder if yours has a changed imei number? Something is fishy.

I uploaded the pics on imgur. Just add /a/eYHq1

Sorry for the hassle. I don't think I am qualified to attach files or include photo links and the app says network error.

Anyways, when I was taking a picture of the sticker on the back of the phone, I actually realized that the engravings say SM-G930P even though I purchased a T-mobile phone. Under 'about device' in settings, it says SM-G930T. Does that mean it's been tampered with? Someone must of flashed the T-mobile image for boot up, no? I also uploaded shots from Phone INFO app which shows that the phone is original if I run a refurbishment check but since I don't have a serial number I can't check that. Thanks for the input guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zine1959:
Now the g930p is for sprint it could be that they put a sprint back glass on it.

Or its a Chinese clone of the s7 now if it is a clone you can. Some time tell by the lcd the real s7 lcd is completely black when the screen is off now they sometimes put an older LCD on it which is a little bit lighter then original so it would be a grayish color
