Highlights...

A new 3K Higher Resolution 2960 x 1440 display that fills almost the entire front face of the phone from edge-to-edge, resulting in a larger 5.8 inch display with a taller height to width Aspect Ratio of 18.5 : 9 = 2.05.

A new and accurate full 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut that is also used for 4K TVs. Plus it is the first Smartphone to be certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which allows it to play all of the latest content produced for 4K UHD Premium TVs.

The Native Color Gamut of the Galaxy S8 is even larger, the result of its new high saturation “Deep Red” OLED, resulting in a very impressive 113% of DCI-P3 and 142% of sRGB / Rec.709 Gamuts that also produces better on-screen Colors in High Ambient Light.

The Galaxy S8 has 5% to 19% Higher Screen Brightness, plus a record Peak Brightness of over 1,000 nits.

New front and back Dual Ambient Light Sensors for significantly improved Automatic Brightness settings.

Since 2013 the Display Power Efficiency of the Galaxy series of Smartphones has improved by a very impressive 56%. This year the new OLED materials on the Galaxy S8 have improved optical and power efficiency with its larger Native Color Gamut than on the Galaxy S7 (142% compared to 131% for sRGB / Rec.709).

Here's the link to the test....

Love it, hopefully the battery will last long enough then!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
Thanks for this, I didn't think they would have this review up already so I didn't check. That sounds fantastic, pretty much the most important aspect of a phone. It's what we look at and interactive with all the time. It will complement my HDR TV nicely, I can watch HDR Netflix etc on the go now. Great news. Now I'm waiting for the Dxomark camera review.

Sammy really should make an OLED TV with this screen, even though their QLED TV's are really good right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Their QLEDs suck compared to OLED unless viewing HDR content mastered at 4000 nits, and even then, you are trading contrast for brightness and still dealing with poor viewing angles.

They tried OLED TVs and failed. They either couldn't make good yields or product life span with their RGB pixels and cut OLED TVs. LG uses patented white OLED pixels with RGB color filters which results in uniform pixel/panel wear and they have managed great yields on the panels. They are the sole manufacturer of all OLED TV panels today.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] wad2k16:
Just bought a J7 from Metro PCS and was hoping to get it unlocked to use on TMobile. Device unlock app gives me "server not responding" despite trying everything suggested. I ended up rooting but got same message. played around a little flashing ..still nothing. Restored everything using smart switch so Im back to original except Knox is tripped. Im out of ideas..

So basically there is no other way to unlock this for use on Tmobile now(not waiting 90 days)?Nothing else I can try? If there is a way, how/who can do it and at what cost?

Otherwise I just sell it.

While my pixel is locked, I can pull down the notification bar and access my phone settings (wifi, data, Bluetooth, hotspot, etc.).

Is there a way to disable access to those settings on the lock screen? I don't want those settings accessible until my phone is unlocked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Did you start another thread with the same title? I can't seem to find it now. But nonetheless, I can't figure it out either. I've seen posts about using the systemUI tweaks but that doesn't seem to work. I kind of believe it to be a security problem since you can disable wifi, data, bt etc. And I really don't want to know how to do it with a custom rom since I'd never run one on this device since my bl is locked.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminbih:
Had an idea, didn't know what to do with it, hence this post.

What if we put ROMs and kernels on an external server, not on the device itself, and devices access it on boot up instead having it on internal memory. Probably far fetched, but maybe as internet speeds advance it will be possible. Would make updating easier, or you wouldn't even need updates. You boot up to the live version. Anyway you heard it here first. Tell me what you think. LiveROM it could be called.

I tried several times to restart it ,but it still doesn't work.

and it can't use usb to reinstall the rom.

what can I do?:confused::confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] whwaldrep:
Take your battery out for about 5 mins, put it back in and leave your phone off. Put it on charge for a couple hours, the hold down the pwr button and the camera button and press the soft reset. Now flash the stock rom back to your phone. then you should be fine, to upgrade again.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] tresthev:
I have a problem. My mi5 told me: An error occured with Google Services. So i rebooted the phone. It booted just OK. But I've seen that wifi doesn't work and the phone always reboot after 2-3 minutes. I've seen that the wi-fi MAC-adress is 02:00:00:00:00:00.

So i've tried to flash different firmwares using twrp and miflash. But there is still no MAC. How to change it and make my phone work?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] flotoro:
if you dont have a backup of efs and efs2 partitions using twrp 1.0.3-2 or later then youre screwed...

youll have to get qualcomm diagnostic tool and manually input your original mac address to get it working again.. you can find some posts about it on miui forums
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] AHOME:
You should flash the fastboot ROM via MiFlash tool and while you will flash, you should also select the clear internal storage option or something like that. This will cause to delete all your files, applications, photos or etc. So be aware of this, firstly backup your files and apps and then flash the fastboot ROM. Your problem will be solved.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Prosis:
I'm seriously considering getting the OnePlus 3. I notice they give the ROM on their website, it's near stock Android, based on Cyanogenmod and (I believe) it doesn't have a warranty killswitch like Motorola or Samsung, etc. It makes it pretty easy to try other roms and just go back doesn't it?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Fobos531:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
Yes, indeed it is the best phone for modding lovers!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] 8hodgsonkh:
First thing I did when I got this phone was unlock it flash a kernel overclock it and install a custom ROM lol
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shubhaemk:
To some extent is true unless you feel the smoothness of Oxygen OS + Camera . I have tried almost all ROMs out there but I kept getting back to OOS.

I won't blame custom ROMs for camera ( waiting for camera blobs ) but for the smoothness. If you're ​like me , I bet you won't be flashing custom ROMs regularly.

You can flash Franco kernel for great battery life on stock , you can't do on others. Plus few customization mods on stock are a delight like changing clock positions , adding backgrounds to quick setting panel , and a 4 row panel!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
yes absolutely, just as always u have to read and be careful... but yes it is so easy to unlock bootloader, root and custom recovery and has great dev support
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
I think you might be confused here: stock OOS doesn't have features like change clock position or adding background to QS panel.

If you are speaking about flashable mods, well, that would fall within phone modding again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shubhaemk:
Yes, but it won't fall under ROM flashing as the title asks.

I just gave him ways to customize OOS , cause if he wants to stick to stock and want custom ROM customization , not fully though ... Still 20% customization are possible.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Prosis:
Yes but I was referring more to people (like me) who like to try new ROMs just for fun, not necessarily because something's missing on their devices. But thanks for the tips though! :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] kmr168401:
Yes it is I learning every time new new thing when ever I flashing new ROM every 3 days i am become addicted to flashing new ROMs and finding new features.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jim262:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Riku Azhurlar:
I'd say yea. Considering it boot loader unlocks like a Nexus and has recovery.. I got this first thing I did was flash AICP then as I went along I thought I'd give stock a try. Or rather a modified stock (freedomOS) and ever since I've tried going back to AICP RR etc but it just made me want to go back to stock. So my advice. Before you go flashing all the non stock roms. Give stock a chance or a stock based Rom. And browse the mod forums for the device. There's a lot of stock mods. The one plus team made it a point to add some minor features that make sense into the rom but it still feels like AOSP with some minor differences. The shelf is literally the only way I keep my life in order. If you want me to go more in detail feel free to pm me I'll answer any questions
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jim262:
You can always make backups and go back and forth. I do indeed like the stock ROM, but it doesn't support OSM and being able to theme apps, as well as system, is something I like. Right now, I am running AOSP-Extended.

4> Recovery mode is again blank

Any solution ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centaur31:
Hi, please share details of the rim you flashed and the one you were running before flashing the custom rom and finally what original rom did you flash with odin after which it still doesn't boot up.

As of now I could say many things that could be wrong but it won't be of help, however I can share some basics that I know without the other info..

1. You can try to install a custom recovery through odin and then flash the kernel and boot loader for the same version as you flashed through odin by flashing either a flashable zip or img file from twrp.

It could be that you upgraded or downgraded rims and the bootloader is not compatible with the rom you installed. If you had a lollipop bases rom and tried to flash a mm based one without bootloader it will not boot the os.

You could try flashing a different kernel there are many here both permissive and otherwise.

You could try to factory reset and see if it boots or press volume down and power and keep holding volume down to see if it boots into safe mode or not. It would be better though to know what version rom you were on and whether you chose the same when flashing after unsuccessful flashing of custom to. Most likely it could be a kernel or bootloader issue but that's only a guess based on similar scenarios but nothing for sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besoeasy:
yea i got your point

thanks for helping brother but the thing is can someone send me stock 6.1 ROM recovery file that i can flash using Odin ?

Select appropriately:

■This is the recovery firmware for n910g:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330025773

■And this one is for n910f, go to note4/511 and download each and every file except for the one named as apq8084.pit :

https://mega.nz/#F!QIMmFRIT!Ns3AM-n0FUoMqOOWUif9ng

●The correct way of flashing a recovery firmware:

- Load all the files in their respective slots ( ap, bl, cp, csc, pit ).

- select f.reset time, re-partition and uncheck auto reboot.

- Flash

- If it fails, then try without csc.

- Done

-Your phone will be back to normal.

● Incase if any hardware buttons are not working, you can use this tool to get into download mode:

https://mega.nz/#!il9XXS6a!6yXq6uCBYpWzG0PLeAXhNpGqRZRmp4Oj3cRnTvNDPao

Turn your phone off, connect it to pc and put it in download mode via that software.

Sounds like your screen is broke. I'm no expert on this matter but if you tried good batteries and you report you hear it booting up but no display. I hate to say but that's what it seems like.

Do you have or have access to an MHL cable? I'd say try to use one to mirror your screen on TV. If it displays on TV but not device, then that confirms the lcd backlight isn't working.

Either that or something so wrong with software that display isn't working.

Did you get odin to Flash stock firmware?

Oh wait, if you boot into download mode and you don't have screen, then something is broke

Yeah they are quite complicated.

I have tried to port many recoveries from many devices, most of them without luck, but i ported a couple of TWRP 2.8.X recoveries but the problem is that the touchscreen response gets crazy and it's almost unusable.

This recovery and the TWRP one are from the Huawei G620s/cherry, so if you want to try to port some recoveries or roms i would recommend you to try with the ones from that devices because it's the most similar and compatible device i have found for our tablet.

porting 2.8.xx gave me the same cranky touch function, but the rest of other functions work when you slowly touch them.

with 3.x.x they start w/o problems but there's no touch function.

the 2.8.xx that i ported is here

===

I guess the problem is in the (device tree blob dtb) file, by unpacking the TWRP y550 img file, i keep the kernel zImage file and i just port stock dtb from the the stock recovery.img of our device to the twrp, to get the cranky touch ported twrp.

===

you have the privilege of being able to compile the twrp from the scratch, so i suggest that you use the y550 source twrp files then readjust the "screen resolution to 800*1280, and reassign the x and y values to be adapted with our device.

===

I've tried to decompile the dtb to readable dts files of both twrp and stock with "device tree compiler" under Linux, but i got error.

these were the results of my tries :)

Ok guys look what i've just got :)
