I have this app, someone mentioned looking for SDM but I looked for that and it wasn't there. Can you say what you choose to turn off the OTA updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lamarwallace:
Download debloater for Android on your pc. Open it and search for sdm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] auxman:
I don't think I was specific enough... will the installation of Package Disabler Pro prevent future OTA updates? The end.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
Well you have to go into the app and choose what to disable, in this case the several OTA apks. It doesnt do it for you automatically no

Thats been covered ad nauseum in the note 7 threads (literally beat to death) so have a look over there even though it might be slightly different on the S8.

If i remember correctly i had 4 or 5 things killed to prevent OTAs in my note 7 but i did a quick check on my s8 and for sure Id kill these 3.

I wont have this snapdragon s8 for much longer (thank god) so im not going to bother doing anything with it like this

Sorry, I'm really confused. I have package disable pro, which what this thread is about. I searched for sdm in that app, it doesn't find it.

I tried downloading debloater for $1.49. it installs fine and then tells me that the activation can't work because I'm rooted. Which I'm not. And the only option I have at that point is to uninstall debloater

I am SOOOO confused. I installed Package Disabler Pro. I go to run it, it asks to activate and then when it tries to activate it says:

License activation failed

Your device is rooted,

Please flash your device with original samsung ROM

Um, I'm on an unrooted S8+, no idea what is going on, I can't even get Packate Disabler Pro to run.

I just got the OTA I'm running Package Disabler Pro just fine.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kxdaorbit:
There is a 'Samsung' version available on the devs site, cost about a £1 more(no idea why).

This version has also changed from the last one, for example no more device info, you now need to download a separate standalone app, but it is free.

Personally, this is probably the last time that I'll pay for this app, will switch to 'ADB' debloating if the dev pulls this stunt again.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] XblackdemonX:
Resurrection remix is the only thing that exists.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dumbledork:
Unlike the others, I haven't tried RR yet, I thought the locked thread was an indication I should wait.

I've tried Stock MM, Stock N, LOS and Nuclear. The stock ROMs were nice, but I don't get much out of Mifavor, and there are too many default apps I don't need.

LOS makes for a nice base, but requires a lot of tinkering to get what you'd otherwise get from a ROM that's using it as a base.

That's where Nuclear shined for me. It ships with substratum, has nice options for the lockscreen, and statusbar, and kernel optimizations. The battery life has been great so far.

Though, now I'm thinking I should give RR a whirl :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aLexzkter:
This thread should've included a poll. My vote goes to NucleaROM. It is my first non-stock rom on this phone and the moment I started using it I realized how well LineageOS works on this phone and how little I will miss MiFavor or whatever it's called, although I have to admit that the stock rom was pretty fast and smooth aswell.

I love LOS 14.1 and am extremely happy since the speaker output was recently fixed. It seems to have the most support also (the whole LOS team)

I would switch to another ROM if the battery life is better though.. thats my only problem with the axon 7 now. are any of the other ROMs significantly better?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] warBeard_actual:
Stock, because deodexing is for noobs and bloatware is for pros.

I read on here that non-stock ROMs cannot utilize the DAC, so they just use the standard Android sound output.

If it sounds better for you that's good, but you definitely aren't using the DAC
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] warBeard_actual:
Took this last night...

Also, to the other users – to my comment above about using stock ROMs. (obviously joking)

Kind of….

It really depends on what the individual, who is presenting the modified package, has actually done. Very few ROMs out there actually “optimize” anything outside of what Android already does, natively (ART – AOT and JIT, which is where your performance is pretty much established anyways), to get you the performance when you need it. This is why I focus more on hardware-related modifications, and deep VM tuning than simply “debloating” and deodexing to modify the systemui apk and add some battery icons or something that is more cosmetic.

It is why I say I use “stock” ROMs. However, I do change some things, and remove or disable unwanted apps. But the foundation is stock.

Back on the subject of deodexing… deodexing has some advantages if you are very much into cosmetic changes, “flashing themes”, etc. Makes things a lot easier. But doing it just to do it doesn’t make any sense at all. Using .dex files instead of the .oat files slows app loading for system apps and actually exhibits more actual RAM pressure due to the nature of how the code is cached and executed. There is also twice as much “garbage collection” using .dex. It is not an efficient way to run Android 7. In fact, it is a step backwards in my opinion.

That’s why I use stock ROMs, because I like performance.

I too can get 5h of screen time with no Wifi use and only the screen turned during such long periods of time at minimum brightness and 39% or more left of battery.

That's clearly not a real-world usage of the device though...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] warBeard_actual:
Define real world usage? You are not an authority to make this claim (no disrespect meant at all, but what you define as "not real world" is real world for some).

It varies per person. As an example... me. My usage habits are consistent, and simple. So it is real world usage for me. I get this type of performance out of my device on a daily basis.

Gaming is always going to use more battery, using navigation is always going to use more battery, recording lots of video is always going to use more battery, watching movies and streaming a lot of music throughout the day, etc... If you are somebody that does more than an hour or two of these things a day, I would say you are outside of the normal paradigm.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aLexzkter:
You can't chat and listen to Spotify continously connected to WiFi for 5h and still have 39% of juice left on this phone. Remove Spotify out of the equation and the latter's still true...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Drackyen:
I've tried Stock, Bad Boyz, LOS, and Nuclear. Currently using Nuclear and it's the best so far for me. Substratum in particular is really nice.

But there are trade-offs for any of them. For example, while I really am enjoying Nuclear, Daydream isn't working properly on it (or any LOS-based ROM for that matter). Daydream works on Stock and Bad Boyz but then you're stuck with MiFavor and no Substratum.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] warBeard_actual:
Your network connection, aside from your screen and processor, eats the most power.

I am rarely on Wi-Fi, so that right there puts me in another category. But I do use my phone extensively, I text, use hangouts, Allo, and do a lot of reading online. Much of this is done simultaneously.

If you look at any battery SS's I've posted recently, you see these apps at the top of the usage list in the system's breakdown. I am using my device extensively, just not streaming Spotify or Google Music over Wi-Fi or even over the network. I do quite a bit of YouTubing, however. And that screenshot I posted was with a good 15 - 20 minutes or so of YT.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make, to be honest. You have this idea that your usage patterns are the norm' for everybody, and that the device simply cannot get such results as 5h of SOT with 40% battery left...

Even though there is hard evidence right in front of you proving otherwise.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] senny22:
Source?

Also if the he AOSP ROMs would utilize the standard DAC and amp the why is the audio so much louder
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] warBeard_actual:
Gain and sound quality are two very different things
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] senny22:
Obviously yeah but having that louder sound indicates that it's not the Snapdragon amp and DAC that's in use.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cfbruck:
This a bit off topic off course, but based an ability to drive headphones alone I have to agree that LOS uses the akm dac (and amp, I assume they go together). (Even though I was initially unsure because of audio quality if it really was the akm)

I recently had a chance to try the well regarded Audioquest Dragonfly Red with my in ears, which are pretty hard to drive. The axon 7 actually had much more power, which is impressive.

The dragonfly sounded better of course, but not by that much.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dyonoctis:
I've taken this from the ZTE german forum. It was written by a ZTE official :

"AK4490 DAC is active when Headset HiFi -> "Super" is selected and Dolby is off. For other settings AK4961 is active.

DAC is only for headset.

Dolby Atmos is pure sound effect and belongs to the software decoding, whereby DAC belongs to the hardware decoding. Both can be active at the same time.

But Dolby Atmos changes the original sound source. Therefore, it is recommended to turn Dolby off if you want to hear hi-fi.

The volume complies with the EU directive. "

"Hello @ chris ,

The Snapdragon DAC is not used at all.

Snapdragon is software decoding. When HiFi is played, software decoding is not necessary.

For recording, I assume that the AK4961 is used.

When recording, two microphones are used and together with the AK4961 the HD recording is achieved.

The DACs are used for output only for headset.

Does this only 3.5mm Jack or comes also USB for similar headsets, which will be one of the future standards?

The AK4490 DAC is only for the 3.5mm headset connection. Thanks to the USB connection, the same HiFi quality can not be achieved.

On the topic "EU Directive on volume"

We are currently looking into the EU directive internally. Thank you for your suggestion.

LG Your Z-Community Team "

So that means that using this phone with a custom rom basically get rid of this phone main selling point ? The snapdragon dac is used both for listening and recording ? so no noise cancelling either ?

Why did Unjustified Dev wrote this then ? "It's force enabled anything that reports snd_device_out_headphones will turn on akm."

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/unofficial-lineageos-14-1-zte-axon-7-t3545679/page105

Someone need to make a serious thread about the situation of the audio in custom rom, so that it would be clear once and for all : what dac does LOS rom are using ? gosh. What's funny is that there is a lot of ext dac out there that are using the ak4490, and don't need a bloody pilote to work. plug it and you're done.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] warBeard_actual:
It would be impossible to say without taking apart LOS based ROMs and looking at them.

I'm willing to bet, however, that you lose a bit of audio processing capability.
