So I did a full wipe and flash-all to the latest NHG47K update..

Added back twrp, wiped dalv/system/data and flashed..

I get this when flashing:

Trying to boot it just results in endless bootloop... Also had the ram dump screen for the first time on this phone...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
That's strange. Are you using the latest version of twrp?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
It shouldn't matter. But I have no way of verifying that on my end. I'm on a Verizon device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sulpher:
oops.. no I was not! Trying again now! Sorry :cyclops:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
Cool let me know the results.. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sulpher:
Booted right up! I'm on the google edition as well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
Right on! Good to know.. Thanks for the feed back. I'll update the op that we must be on the latest version of twrp. ?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sulpher:
I ignored this last night because it seemed to have flashed fine anyways... but it seems something went wrong with the kernel flash in some way as I am not rooted. It throws this error before the kernel extracting...

ParsePermArgs: invalid selabel ""

Extracting Kernel...

It booted fine without root and everything seems okay, but when you try and root it you get an 'already patched' line and it tries to 'restore ramdisk' instead. Seems to work but then when you boot it just does the bootloop into the ram dump screen for me.

EDIT - So... it seems if you flash the rom, then flash supersu, then flash the rom again it will boot with root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
The kernel included is rooted. Systemless root is part of the kernel. If you try to run a supersu root script it will throw you in a bootloop. As for the errors you see before the kernel is extracted.. Those actually have nothing to do with the kernel at all. They're just errors in the updater script. I need to weed those out. All you have to do is flash and you will be rooted and all should be good. ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sulpher:
Well then at the very least it is not installing the supersu app then on the initial flash. I've tried 5 times, same result each time. I'm not sure how to check/control root without the supersu app, so I just assumed it wasn't rooted.

edit- attempting to manually install supersu and see what it says on a fresh install...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
Supersu should be there. That's also included with the kernel. If for some reason it's not, you can install it from the playstore and you should be good to go.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sulpher:
Yup that did it! Too weird... just somehow misses only the supersu app.. I swear I'm not making this up! :silly:

Thanks for the help~
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
Oh MAN!!! Now I am torn. I have stayed on factory with a custom kernel since getting this phone, having no real need to root because I love stock. However, after exclusively using your ROM on my Note 4 since the first day it dropped to the last day I used the phone, and loving your work every step of the way...I now feel an infection starting to take over that I might just have to try this and start down the path to the dark side again.

Glad to see you here PP. You work is solid and you never let down.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lieutenant Fudge:
Hey, I'm trying to log into snapchat with this rom/kernel, but obviously the kernel is rooted so I am unable to login. How could I unroot temporarily to login to snapchat?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shotonhead:
Can someone please provide just the latest updated bootloader and radio img for this rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
There's an option in SuperSu settings for full unroot. If you do that, reboot, and log in it should work. Then reboot back in to recovery and flash the SuperSu SR3 zip and you'll be rooted again.

To avoid this in the future - With titanium backup you can make a data backup of snapchat while logged in to snapchat. After a clean flash or when you have to log back in to snapchat, just restore data and it won't do the safetynet check.

I loaded it up earlier today. It is running beautifully and I can even hide root with the SU app so I can use the DirecTV Now app! Nice work man!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
Thank you for the feedback! [emoji106]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
I am currently on RR Remix and thinking about going back to stock when this caught my eye.

I have one question though that I am not sure can be answered here or not.

Are the radio files the same between the Verizon and Google store phones?

I've been having a few issues with signal quality (on Verizon) and was wondering if their radio.img was different than the play store version.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
From what I understand they are the same. The verizon version of the firmware has fixes within the rom to help with quality on the Verizon network.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] imaverik:
hope this helps

The superSU app itself doent show up. for shats and giggles i loaded a root app.. it worked without the need for supersu app. no issue at all so far with root apps. I may not have the app... but i dont need it since its kernel level.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
Yea if the Supersu app doesn't show up then install it from the play store and you should be good.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emplox:
when i flash the kernel that is included with this, it causes my phone to boot directly to TWRP everytime and i have to reflash the entire ROM to fix it. Am i doing something wrong?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PaulPizz:
That's strange. Not sure why that's happening. The kernel already gets flashed with the rom. There is no need to flash the kernel as well. But I'll look into it.

i have oneplus 3t and the camera is amazing but i want to upgrade so what you recommend me to go with ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] novastar1:
All have their strengths.... The OnePlus 3 as well.

Try not to get dazzled by specs and marketing hype... Think of it more of as there some area they you would like to improve over the op3 camera

Samsung camera may be better if you want to just point and shoot in full auto all the time.

Most of us won't be utilizing our phone cameras to it's full potential all the time.

I moved from a OP3 to a Mate 9 (after deciding to pass on the S7) and I'm very happy with my choice

You should have a look at the pocketnow "real camera reviews" on YouTube if you're not aware of them already

For the OP3

https://youtu.be/bQFy7qzkNro

Check the P10 and mate 9 there as well

I don't think any reviewers have gotten around to doing in depth reviews for the s8 as of yet
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] snipeeeerz:
so you recomende transfed to mate ? from op3t bacause u use it and know if there defrence
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MalevolentAmmo:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lienot:
The tests I have seen show that the S8 camera will be the best or one of the best again...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vapotrini:
IMO the Mate 9's camera is great. From my experience though, it requires a bit of tinkering to get it to really shine. By contrast and judging on recent history, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to simply whip out the S8+ and snap great photo's without the need for any adjustments - regardless of circumstance.

After trying to flash android stock rom 5.1.1 i get this error on my phone.

It happes after odin tries to write sboot.bin.

what can i do?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZelsoYT:
That means you have a android 6 bootloader so you will have to find a android 5 one to flash android 5 roms
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JM_team09:
So you want to tell me i can aswell flash an android 6 rom to fix this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JM_team09:
didnt work
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biiucim:
Far as I know, since MM Samsung has added an option so downgrade to not be possible anymore. sbot error means that the bootloader you're trying to use is older than the one on your phone.

I don't know if you can downgrade, but search here as maybe somebody had found a way to do this
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
There is currently no way to downgrade to 5.1.1 if you're on newer mm firmware, the Bootloader will stop you from downgrading.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] MaxFTW:
In terms of camera S8 I would say
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Korov:
I have the 3T and the P10, and I think the P10 does offer superior quality if you know what you are doing. However, the 3T isn't bad when just using auto settings. As many reviewers have noted, the P10 camera app does push you to play around with things and think about your photos more. I notice I take much better pictures with it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AzzyC:
How exactly did you disable it? Are you sure after re-enabling it you didn't choose the Samsung Keyboard as your Input Method in the phones settings?

Samsung Keyboard isn't even favoured that much anyway I guess it's an incentive to download SwiftKey Beta which lets you get any emoji too.

Is there any way to get better pic quality from the Hermes camera? When taking pics indoors the pics are REALLY bad quality! Outside is a different story as they don't look too bad.

Just wanna know if there's any way of improving the quality of pictures taken with the phones 2mp cam.

Thanks! :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chrisdx:
I totally agree, the picture quality of the photos is RUBBISH and there's no reason for it.

[1] I have an old O2 Mini XDAII which only has 1.4 Mega Pixel camera which takes WAY BETTER photos than the Hermes

[2] When I've emailed a photo I've taken with the Hermes camera to my friends, they've used PhotoShop to fix up the photo to perfect quality ! ! !

IE There's no reason why the photo quality from the Hermes is rubbish :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] inneyeseakay:
This is due to the camera sensor... The more mp you cram onto the same tiny sensor, the worse the 'noise' gets.

In low light, the camera effectively boosts the sensitivity (ISO equivilant) causing noise. The reason your older 1.4mp camera looks better is because there are less pixels to pick up the noise. Kinda confusing, google "digital ISO noise" and read up on it. You'll understand why it's like that. If you want great indoor pictures, invest in a camera ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] abubasim:
Poor photo quality from camera phones is mainly due to the type of sensor used: CMOS. This sensor is slightly cheaper and needs less power but is not as sensitive as CCD and therefor produce more noise. CCD sensors are the most common in regular digital cameras in all except the large dSLR cameras where CMOS is mostly used instead, again due to the cost and power requirements. But in dSLR's the sensors are very large and therefore produce almost as low noise as CCD.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] inneyeseakay:
Actually I believe most dSLR's use CCD sensors, with a couple exceptions. The major one being Canon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] abubasim:
I think you're partly right. A few dSLR producers:

Canon: CMOS in all their dSLRs

Nikon: Latest models (D300 and D3) are CMOS cameras while their older (like the D40X) were CCD.

Sony: DSLR-A700 is CMOS, DSLR-A100 was CCD. The CMOS sensor is a new type they call EXMOS and claim to be similar to CCD in sensitivity.

Olympus: Latest use NMOS(???) sensors while their older were all CCD.

Pentax: Only CCD.

Sigma: Only CMOS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] inneyeseakay:
Okay, but with the subject at hand, I think the bigger problem with the phone is the sensor size though, not the sensor type. :D

Look at Pentax, Their 6mp dSLR's show better high ISO performance than their newest 10mp dSLR. Why? The sensors are the same size, but they crammed more photosites onto it. The more photosites on the same size sensor, USUALLY means more noise (especially visible at high ISO levels).

That same reasoning is why the 1.4mp camera phone has better picture quality indoors than that of the 2mp camera phone.

-Nick (Event Photographer)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chrisdx:
So really, "mp" is not really a good measure of the quality of a camera. Let that be a lesson to all of us.

So when we go to buy a camera, and we are offered a 6 mp camera or an 8 mp camera, what question should we ask ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] abubasim:
Before deciding on a camera, go to DPReview.com and compare the specs, including sensor size.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
If you think this camera's bad on the Hermes you should have seen the pics on my XDA Exec! :o

Hi!

At the moment i still have my SE P1i is got 3.2 m pix camera wth autofocus make butiful pix be honestly, but due lack of the software i turned 2 WM device i used bafore SE P990 unfortunatelly after the SE P910 something goes wrong. sony forgot develop??? tose last 2 PDA P990,P1i is the utterly crap.So just still waiting SE wth WM6 so far :-( but i love my Hermy now thanks 2 u guys, that is WORKING fine amazing connectivity and speed. battery hungry beast yeah, but 3000mAh solve this problem thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] abubasim:
The Hermes can produce fairly good photos. Here's one photo I shot with my first JASJAM:

Having said that, my current (second) JASJAM doesn't produce anything like the above photo. Instead it's more like the JAMin, with it's heavy-handed noise reduction turning all photos into water-color paintings. :-(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
My outdoor pics look fine OK.

It's indoor pics with bad lighting in the day or with the indoor lights turned on at night where the pics look bad... Anything in bright daylight indoors, or in the daytime outside is fine usually.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] alkizmo:
im thinking the variation in quality between phones might have to do with the crappy transparent plastic in front of it. Not all plastic pieces are equally clear ;)

Im too lazy at the moment, but my camera really sucks and the plastic on my phone is cracked and scratched. I'll remove it one day and see how it goes with no plastic in the way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Wam7:
Ways to improve the picture of the camera are to

1. Take the sharpening from default 7 to 1

2. Reduce the contrast from default to 1 or 2

3. Change the metering mode Centre mode to Area (this help in low light)

4. Change quality from fine to super fine.

5. Manually switch between the white balance settings in low light to see which one is best.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] abubasim:
I have owned a total of four different Hermes (three old HT649 HERM100 and a recent HT716 HERM200) and concluded that they are equipped with two types of cameras:

- The first type for which the above contrast setting does a great help to improve picture quality but at the same time the camera is not so sensitive and produces quite dark photos in low light. But this camera handles automatic white balance very well.

- The second type for which the above contrast setting completely ruins photos! But this camera is much more sensitive in low light but with very, very poor handling of auto white balance where for example dark magenta will appear as blue(!) and manual selection doesn't improve this.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitzaboi:
Hey everyone, so I recently installed LineageOS onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and was in the process of installing Gapps when my tablet just shut off. I followed everything correctly and re-sized the system in TWRP and all that, and it seemed to be installing fine until midway where it just shut off (there was plenty of juice left in the battery too). Now it won't turn on at all and when I try and connect it to the computer, I keep getting the "USB device not recognized" message. I tried to power it on via just the power button, and both via the power + volume up and power + volume down and nothing.

Is there a fix for this, or am I just boned?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightracer:
Yep, definitely boned. Must be a hardware issue...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitzaboi:
Damnit. Does that sound like the Gapps install caused it, or was it just bad timing for the hardware to fail?

Thanks for the reply, btw.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightracer:
Gapps shouldn't be a problem. Did you check your device for the emmc brickbug?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitzaboi:
I did not. I didn't see anything about it in any of the walkthroughs that I researched when I did it the first time. My previous LineageOS + Gapps flashing went perfectly, though. Then I re-flashed it with LineageOS again (which was again successful) because I wanted to put on aroma on it instead, which is when it seemed to have kicked the bucket. But "sudden death" is a very accurate description of what happened midway through the gapps flash.

Go to ifixit.com, find the video on battery replacement. Just unplug battery and plug it back in. I'm thinking it's your battery. Was it acting goofy? Draining fast?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitzaboi:
I'm not sure. My brother just got a new one, so he gave me his old one. I'll take it apart when I have some time and give the battery thing a try. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitzaboi:
Sorry it took me so long, bit of a hectic month so I haven't had time to do it until today.

Anyways, you are the man! I unplugged and re-plugged the battery, tried the power button and nothing. So I plugged in the charger and the charging screen turned on.

Thanks for the advice!

So today after cleaning up my phone's memory with the built in phone manager app, the design of Messanger app has changed and I don't know how to revert it. I've tried to uninstall it, restart my phone, nothing. I thought that it'll only delete cached images and that kind of stuff, but it fu**ed up the app.

[IMG="Before:"]https://imageshack.com/i/porGwX7qp[/IMG]

[IMG="After:"]https://imageshack.com/i/pnfOS0qnp[/IMG]

The app is updated. My friends don't have such a problem or change in app design.

Any idea how to revert it back to it's normal state?
