[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] djemm1996:
Hey guys,

I'm into the Android from the very beginning and I would love to get rid of a problem which is driving me crazy for some time :rolleyes:

I was trying to flash the Viper driver to get the great sound quality again. I'm now on the latest nougat.

Already unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed the TWRP. Saw an thread about how to install it properly on the Honor8 and I did everything correct in my opinion.

I have the 1.26.2-meefik busybox now installed in system/xbin path (which seems to be working correctly overall) and otherwise everything seems working good except that when I try to open the Viper it says that I don't have root OR that i have to install the driver, and after pressing yes my phone just reboots and does the very same thing as previously.

Am I missing something?

Feel free to ask something more if you need.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] BigBrad75:
I had this same situation, just kept installing the driver, reboot, repeat, making no progress... I finally got mine to work thank goodness! Are you remembering to use a root file Explorer and go to /vendor/etc and rename the file named audio_effects.config to audio_effects.config.bak after flashing but before installing V4A? That was my main problem. And you have to be sure to do it on a clean setup, so if you've already installed V4A you need to clean out and start again. Also u need a kernel auditor to set selinux to permissive upon boot. These two steps are key...

Hi!

Few days ago, I installed LineageOS via TWRP (3.0.2) and everything was working very good. I decided to encrypt phony by option in settings. It was taking a lot of time and i decided to reboot after ca. 2h. Lineage loaded and asked me for password (i didn't set any). So i reboot into TWRP, selected "recovery" and choose one of backups. After installation, it still wanted password. I boot TWRP again, tried to install normall LineageOS - the same. So i done the worst command ever, rm -rf /*. Ofc it was no longer available to boot normally, I back to TWRP and when i tried install, error appear (probably error: 200, no such file /data,i'm not sure). After all i made a mistake. I installed wrong aboot (RIP In Pepperoni), so now only ADB is working under Linux, phone can't see /sdcard and probably all /. Tried to go into "download mode" with trick with battery and usb, but it not worked. Sorry for my english.

II know, it's hard bricked, but maybe with Your help it will be good :)

Cheers

@ TimSchumi [MENTION=5809770]berkantkz[/MENTION]

Dear All thanks for the great work...

I am using your app for my custom rom AOSP PIE, as the app side everything is fine but I cannot understand the server setup instruction.

I create a folder in my cloud as Build/Rom.zip

inside rom.zip i keep addition folder as system/build.prop bcz rom format is compressed as .br

now i add " ro.ota.url=http://MyCloudAddress/ota/builds " in my active rom build.prop

app works fine but can't see anything from my URL

- where to update "URL Mapping"

- Full builds should go into the builds/ directory = mean the rom.zip ??? in my cloud drive?

please help me
[Android Apps and Games] TimSchumi:
First of all, the server needs to be able to run PHP. Else, it won't work.

Second, the url in the build.prop shouldn't have the /builds appended. In your case, it should be "ro.ota.url=http://MyCloudAddress/ota"

Full builds go into /builds on the server, the script should pick them up automatically.

URL mapping shouldn't concern you, that is done automatically.

Hello people!

So for some time I have been trying to find a custom recovery for my tablet, without any success, I tried using the cwm builder online but it just gives me an error saying "505 bad gateway". I am currently rooted using kingroot, and have a backup of the current recovery if needed. Can please someone please help me out? I can give more specs if needed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OMGKenny00:
hey

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that I don't have a PC at the moment, or else probably I would follow one of those guides. I really need someone to do it for me, I can send all the files needed. I only have the tablet that's why I tried the online builder, but it does not seem to work, or maybe its because I'm on android.

Good thread to help get all the questions and answers collected in a single thread.

My question is:

What are the specs of SD 835 in S8/S8+ vs Exynos 8895 (9 Series) in S8/S8+? Cores speed etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:
So I am considering the S8+...

~~~long story~~~

Note 4 locked me out cuz i somehow glitched out my samsung account, to the point where it was no longer on the phone. did a factory Reset to try and get the samsung account back, and now its asking for my samsung account, and it fails.. So basically Its asking for a ghost account. I am going to send it off to samsung to get it unlocked. but That gives me reason to get the S8+

~~~End~~~

Few things,

1. What do you think would be the best variant of the phone to get? (I am looking into changing carriers, currently on metro, thinking about tmobile.)

-I want to Root it, Should i just pre-order from Samsung and buy the international, or just get the Tmobile version? or maybe verizon idk. My note 4 never got a root because it was the AT&T variant, don't want to repeat.

2. Dex! Do you think we will be able to load up Linux? or Specific Virtual PC's with Corporate VPNS on them?

-This is was really is selling the phone for me, If I can load up a bunch of Virtual PC's on here, that'd be pretty bad ass.

3. If I decide to go with the Note 8 later this year, do you think the S8+ will retain its value on Swappa, that Way i can just sell and upgrade? (I use my stylus all the time, but Im thnking if I set up a sick Dex set up in my work van I won't really need the stylus.

4. How excited are you?

Hey man when searching for the right version of roms / root. As telus user what version usually represents us?

Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, US cellular, and how do I know if I have a locked boot loader.

Last and not lease, is the GALAXY S8 PLUS going to be rootable?

Hopefully there is gonna be a section on the forum for telus Canada.

Hows it bro?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Treasarion:
I watched a few Youtube Videos today with diffrent comparison methods between s8/s8+ s7/s7e in some Benchmarks and AppStuff.

My Device (g935f @ Superstock Rom / superkernelwith Synapse Tweaks) is sometimes faster then S8. Special with Games the S8 is a little more better in speeds.

I cant see a big Reason why to buy me a new S8, when my actual S7e brings the same speed and function's. (Dont need Bixby or any ohter Voice App so..) The Camera is also the same with (too) little diffrences for my suggestion.

And i think the S8 cant get to 5-6hours SOT so far like an S7e. Ok 5-6 hours with Systemmods like Superstock, Synapse and Modkernel.. but i think with Stock Rom you get nearly 4-5hours SOT with normal usage.

So im interested of you guys..what do you think about it ? You think like me, stay with S7 and Upgrade with Note 8 or S9 next time ? Or you wanna buy the S8 right now or later with better prices ?

Unlocked version questions

I am looking to buy the "unlocked" version of the S8+ at Best Buy.

Model number is sm-g955uzkaxaa.

I have a couple of questions:

1) I am getting conflicting answers from Samsung and the Best Buy website. Will this have the Snapdragon or the Exynos processor?

2) Since it is the unlocked version, does this mean the bootloader will be unlocked and we will be able to put custom roms on it?

3) Since this version will not have any carrier bloatware, will the mobile hotspot work on grandfathered Verizon plans?

Thanks,

I might be missing something really obvious but I'd like just to use the sensor with no other part of samsung pay being on any of my screens.
