AOSP base android devices still running un patched versions of bash shell and very much prone to shellshock vulnerabilities so anyone can help us to patch vulnerabilities on AOSP base rom . thanks..

ı tested with crdroid 3.0 and result was vulnerabilites=OK
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ElBeaner:
First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)

I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).

I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)

Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.

Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.

Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.

I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it

If you're interested this is the link where I got it on Amazon

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jucytec:
the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...

I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO

https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8

I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers

EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm

Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm

I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] AdamIsYou:
I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.

I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] SptMogul:
I just received this case and it's super slippery.

thinking to try the one that OP bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y98H8C7

or

this eBay one http://www.ebay.com/itm/232311855985

How do you like the case so far? is it slippery at all? what is it made out of?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] arampapaz:
Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.

I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case

Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...

Highly recommend this one...

Check this out: Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy S8 Case Herringbone with Flexible Inner Pr... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP521V1/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_thRbzbWYMDS0A

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!

Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...

The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...

I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...

I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] hejay:
I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ElBeaner:
They're now available on Amazon with prime shipping

Still rocking this case and love it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] purple lady:
Could you tell me how much it weighs? Amazon lists 1.4 ounces for both item and shipping weight. That's way to heavy for me.

How is the grip

Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu

Luckily that may be covered by warranty throuhh samsung even if it shows sign of drops.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
A pixel? That's dozens of pixels, arranged in a precise semicircle. I think it's more likely caused by some app, but booting into Safe Mode would be the way to tell.

It cant be a dead pixel... If that was the size of one pixel the Phone would be a thousand times larger than it is...

Thanks for suggestions guys! ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Doug MacDonald:
S7 edge

My wife has a similar problem with her s7 edge (though mine does not). I restarted her phone in safe mode, but the semicircle was still there. Also, I did a screen capture and it was NOT there. I agree with Gary that it's weird for hardware to generate a circular pattern like that, but what other explanation could there be? Aside from a black sticker that a worker forgot to remove during assembly of the product, as someone on another forum suggested.

Anyone Remember Samsung Group Play Video Sharing? That had to be one of the coolest features on a phone but was only short lived on the Galaxy Note 4. It was where you could connect up to 4 Galaxy Note 4's to create 1 BIG screen between the phones for a better viewing experience. Has anyone since figured out a way to do it on any other phone? I can only imagine how that would look on today's phones. Especially the S8+. If anyone knows how to accomplish something like that, please let me know!

Samsung has gotten rid of alot of those "gimmicky" features
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DragoCubed:
It's kind of sad really. I don't remember which company it was that was copying this but it apparently works like Group Play. People don't actually bother caring about "gimmicks" or "bloat" on Samsung phones. Most of those features are really useful. Stuff like Air View was actually useful in the browser after enabling a flag. It annoys me when Apple copies features from Android devices and only manages to have a positive reaction is because they are Apple. People probably didn't use Group Play which is why Samsung removed it. The same goes for Air View, Air Gesture, Smart Pause and Smart Stay. Perhaps the implementation wasn't that good. There's nothing AFAIK that can replace Group Play.

which one did you flash the full or lite ? they use different dialers

go to settings / apps / advanced / Default app settings / call

Will your ROM work with Android Pay? unlocked bootloaders/root tend to not allow it to work without doing workarounds.

I'd also be interested in a step by step guide taking my Stock B160, installing TWRP, and then ROM. I may move forward with the unrooted simple ROM for now, but may compare later to yours.

Bugfix means I fixed things reported to me by others and things i found myself (I use this phone at work for Bluetooth / Music)

apps are all updated

changed to the Asus dialer

removed some bloat

In order to keep the rom size intact I had to remove some things i suggest you install from Play store right after install

Google Photos

Google Docs

Google Drive

Google Maps

Shuttle Music player

are all highly recommended

Put the phone into bootloader with power plus volume down while it's hooked to your PC

Put TWRP.img in your fastboot folder and flash or boot TWRP

fastboot boot TWRP.img

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Once you get into TWRP

Flash the B160_full ROM (follow the guide)

Now you can flash any of the ROMs you want

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Right now it's stuck in the bootloader and says "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock". When I try to "fastboot boot" the TWRP image I've been using it flashes the TeamWin splash screen and then just reboots to the bootloader. I feel like something went bad during the flash and I need to somehow clear the partition or something. But I'll try downloading your TWRP (I got the other H1611 one from another thread) and see, and I'll download the B160 package in case I can get it back into TWRP... unfortunately my download speed was reasonably fast this morning (about 10 minutes to download 1.7 GB) and now it's telling me 9 hours to download 1.9 GB...
