Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"

Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.

Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] TheRealSmolt:
Sorry if this is in the wrong category.

I want to switch to cyanogen 14.1 on my sprint HTC one m8. My plan is to make a backup of everything with twrp, flash cm14.1 nighty, then restore the apps. I have multiple questions.

1. Will this plan work

2. If I have the super su and Xposed installer apps, I'll just need to install the framework stuff, right?

3. If I do brick my phone, will the backup fix it?

4. Will I have to reconfigure my phone with my carrier?

5. Will cyanogen be able to read the restored apps?

I think that's all. Thanks for the answers in advance!

Stability

I have also heard of stability issues with cm14.1. I guess another question is is it a good idea? One main reason for cm14.1 is android 7.

For Windows

Extract the firmware

Download Packsparseimg.exe and Imgextractor.exe and put it in a folder with the firmware

Execution with cmd "packsparseimg (enter)"

If an error occurs such as the image number 2 do not panic

Rename rawprogram0.xml be rawprogram_unsparse.xml

Execution with cmd "packsparseimg (enter)"

The result is a file system.raw

Extrac system.raw with imgextractor.exe

As a result there is a folder "system" in the folder

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReggaeRoots:
Hi, sorry for my inglish. I'm here to ask you if is possible change the mic in calls based on sensors, and the same with the speakers, like alcatel IDOL3 system.

My question occurs because i use my device with forced rotation mod, and some times i get caught using like a ZQ, and i realy like this.

This device have a perfect simetric design with the proximity sensor in the correct side to works in any orientation, stereo speakers, and 2 mics with well position!

Is possible port this? thanks a lot, Giuliano Viana.

My device today: StockRom 444 moded.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ItzTropic:
Im not responsable for hard bricks/ soft bricks on youre devices do at your own risk

I already test it and works on my rooted ms428

I want to give a special thanks to the devs for the patience, dedication and for working hard to make the root possible for this device

Its highly recommended to perform a nan-backup incase of an emergency or incase if you want to go back

The steps are quite simple

1) root your device, if you dont have it rooted here is the link for the steps to root for the lg k10 both metropcs and T-Mobile editions only

(xdaforums.com/lg-k10/development/root-twrp-rom-t-mobile-k428-k10-t3582493)

2) install magisk manager on playstore

3) open magisk manager and install the zip file via automatic

4) boot into twrp and flash the zip file located in magisk folder

5) once it done wipe cache and dalvik cache

6) once it finish booting open magisk manager and click on downloads tab

7) install on magisk xposed framework sdk23 (marshmallow) *note if you have lollipop its the sdk22

8) once it finished click on reboot later, boot into twrp and wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot

9)install xposed apk (its the one i use on my ms428 xdaforums.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758)

10) enjoy

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] leopard_fist:
itztropic- after I rooted I just downloaded the xposed framework from the website normally and it worked properly, I must be not understanding something about the method you described?

I don't really understand what magisk is for I thought it was a developer tool of some sort (which i'm not)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuyInDogSuit:
Magisk is a frontend designed to manage apps and modules that use systemless capabilities. It has its own superuser based on phh's superuser, and features modules much like Xposed, though some are useful even on Nougat. Xposed can be installed systemless as well and Magisk can disable and re-enable root and Xposed on the fly, as well as its modules, so you can have a rooted phone and still use Android Pay and Pokemon Go.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] noidea24:
So I'm debating purchasing two of LG's new smartwatch's from google for me and my wife. She is definitely getting a rose gold style, however, I'm completely loss as to which one I want.

I use my pebble 2/se almost religiously, I love the small size and features that aren't over bearing, and most importantly the interchangeable bands. This type of thinking makes me want the style also, but I don't know how I feel about recent reviews, and the lack of performance (compared to the sport).

I don't like how big the sport is, I don't like you can't change the bands, i never use tap to pay, and walking around talking to your watch screams "attention!"(with the lte connectivity). I do however love the extra battery (even if it is to balance out all the extra hardware), the extra ram, and the heart rate sensor.

Has anyone here purchased one or the other? I'd love to hear your opinions. I'm sticking between these two because they are the only models on the Google store, and I have that synchrony account which has a good bit of credit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GOVATENT:
I have a stock tmobile s7. It's running the latest OTA no root. Using cpuz, I identified that my CPU has been running at 90-100 percent non stop. It's making my phone warm all the time, killing my 7300 mha zerolemon battery in less then 2 hours because of how much energy it's using. I don't have the issue in safe mode. I know the phone gets super cold when running in safe mode. I haven't been able to find what process is causing this issue. Most cpu task managers no longer currently work in Nougat according to what i've seen due to a bug that prevents apps from seeing other app's usage. If I don't have another option. I'll just factory reset tomorrow and start from scratch completely. I started removing a ton of apps but still no luck. I've attached a screenshot of cpuz.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
There's a "Show CPU usage" option under the monitoring section of the developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GOVATENT:
That option is also broken by the 7.0 bug. It only shows the system process which is low cpu usage but won't show all running apps. (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=213571) According to google, they have already fixed the bug internally and it's pending a public release. That feature would have definitely helped me pin point the cpu heavy process.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] YourLocalMudkip:
Hi,

I'm a Canadian that has an AT&T S7 on Fido. Since I can't get OTA updates, it seems my only option is to flash the update (Nougat) onto my phone.

Because of this, I have a few questions...

1. Is there any chance of bricking the phone with no way of recovery?

2. Is there any chance of the phone no longer being unlocked after the update is flashed?

3. Am I able to flash the Fido S7 firmware onto my phone? If I can't, what would happen if I did?

-> If I am able to flash the Fido S7 firmware onto my phone, will I be able to receive OTA updates from Fido?

4. Will any functions be lost if I flash the update?

5. Will this trip Knox?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] loganbeck14:

You could flash the fido firmware, I'm not sure about updates though also if it's an official firmware you shouldn't trip knox but be careful also your imei always remains unlocked

Thanks for responding.

I'm a bit confused as to what to do next.

I have 5 files - AP_(device), BL_(device), CP_(device), CSC_OYA_(device), and HOME_CSC_OYA_(device).

To my understanding, AP is the update, BL is the bootloader, I don't know what CP is, CSC is carrier stuff, and HOME_CSC is the same but doesn't wipe data. Is this correct?

What would I flash?

Also, I'm still confused about your response to the first question. Is it possible for me to brick my phone if something goes wrong during the flash?

Regards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] loganbeck14:
So flash 4 files bl ap cp and either csc or home csc if you want to keep your apps and other files flash the home csc and you're good, hope all goes well

---------- Post added at 06:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 AM ----------

so,basically flash the home csc If you want to keep your apps and other files also unless the power goes out or you unplug your phone also if your bootloader version is newer than what your flashing than you will be fine also I flashed the US unlocked firmware on my s7 and I could update so you could maybe try to update via Ota after you flash your phone and the next security update gets released by fido
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
We already knew the sensors are different than the S7-series (Sony IMX333 vs. IMX260 and ISOCELL S5K2L2 vs. S5K2L1) and that Samsung tweaked the s/w including enhanced image processing which takes three pictures and combines them in to a single image every time you snap the shutter. Here are some pics Notebookcheck took at the launch event using a S7e and S8. I guess we'll see how the new cameras perform when sites like DxOMark and GSMArena do their objective testing.

No its Isocell.. as per the exif data (image id). The comparison (lowyat) shows s7 (imx 260) vs s8 (isocell).

how did you know which is which in the comparison? because they didn't reveal the results unless i am messing something
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
It is apparently an old convention by samsung to possibly indicate the sensor type via the image ID in the exif data. See the image properties via windows explorer and navigate to details where you will find the image ID. Look for the 15-16 characters from the left. If they read "LS" = Sony IMX sensor; whereas if they read "LL" = Isocell sensor. See the screenshots below for clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdelha:
when i go to details i see that the image id is empty...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slash8915:
If the ISOCELL sensor looks this good, I'm really curious to see how well the Sony sensor does.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
That happens when the exif data is missing (or removed from the image) as in case of compressed images. You will need to download the full size original image files from the website (save it to your pc) and then look for the image ID.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I am curious as well. I'm a sony fan myself but apparently since the last gen galaxy smartphones samsung Isocell have really stood up to (if not beaten) the sony IMX sensors in overall performance ;).

Looks like they've changed LS (15-16th letters) to QS in your case. Maybe a hardware revision / region specific code?! Anyhow, the difference was and is in the 16th letter. My guess "S = Sony" else I have no clue!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] philipone69:
I got the isocell and i have mixed feelings about it. I compared as much as could the old s7edge imx with the s8 isocell and i found the following: s8 has a very agressive noise reduction in low light shots, so agressive that sometimes kills detail. S8 has a slighly better wb but also favours red a bit too much. Sometimes people's faces look like they just got off a treadmill :)) too red. Outside, at night you get a red fringe instead of a pure black sky.

These are specific isocell problems that plagued last year's s7 and by the looks of it they are still here. Lucky the ones who got the sony even if the wb is a bit warm every time on imx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amirtengteng:
Last year i used my S7 isocell for quite long and dropped the phone so i decided to buy another S7 but that time i got the sony sensor. So after using the sony sensor for a while, i personally prefer the isocell version. The yellowish sony sensor is bad. It kills the low light opportunity on the S7. Now i still waiting for detail comparison between S8 isocell and sony. So far googled photo sample of S8, still can see some yellowish in low light.

Generally, if you update a rom from one version to next, then wipe is not required (read update/release notes, they may instruct otherwise).

Moveing between different roms, wipe is strongly recommended. Otherwise this increases chances for bugs and possible driver issues not present in the rom otherwise.
