So you prefer form over function then? I'm surprised you're not using an iphone...

Most content is natively 16:9. Sure the taller screen would theoretically be better for things like websites but no one ever reads everything on the screen before scrolling anyway. Even though it works for you, obviously a taller screen is not as easy to handle and won't work for a lot of people. I personally don't find it comfortable at all.

I would bet that Samsung copied LG. The G6 design is significantly more refined overall and LG has a track record of innovation and releasing phones that break the mold. Samsung, not so much...

The only thing the s8 has going for it is the curved infinity display. While it looks cool, it inherently has inferior palm rejection and makes viewing content horizontally pretty bad because the curved display cuts some of it off and has a big problem with glare.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there isn't a singe thing about the s8 that is done just right. Everything is a compromise or is off in some way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdullaha:
Haha...Samsung not innovating? Are we talking about the same company? I'm not interested in arguing over what's subjective.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Sorry you have reading comprehension problems... So I'll repeat myself.

-----

Nope. I will not. In fact reviewers agree with me. One of the complaint reviewers have had about the otherwise mostly excellent S8 is Samsung's puzzling decision for mono speaker. They own Harman Kardon!

And not only a complaint within a review, that's ACTUALLY the TITLE of an article...

http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-stereo-speakers-761093/

Is Samsung ever going to put stereo speakers on a flagship?

I will continue to bring attention to such a design deficit. It's a great feature that even the Moto Nexus 6 also had. All top tier phones should have stereo speakers, especially if we are paying this much money.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Lol you read Forbes and Android authority reviews???stereo speakers add nothing to the phone, wanna listen to music put headphones on or stream to a Bluetooth device, want it to hear notifications and calls well mono speakers on the s8 do just that...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
So your opinion in this thread is there's nothing that about the S8/S8+ that needs improving? Because that's what this thread is about.

But at least this time you didn't try to tell me to stop voicing my well-reasoned opinion, backed up by professional reviewers. ;)

Don't see how stereo speakers would harm you in any way. Nobody would force you to use them, if you didn't want to. :)

Hello everyone,

Soft-bricked device till the point where only fastboot works,

My device is no-name mt6580 3.10.72, no official TWRP exists.

Got stock recovery and stock ROM, at this point all i need is self-made TWRP.

Can anyone help me to build it?

Regards,

Hi,

When migrating from stock to custom ROMs, I wanted to keep the stock boot animation but the format wasn't compatible (.mp4 instead of .zip). I didn't find it here so I made a .zip bootanimation from the video.

Please note that there is no sound in the .zip file as it's not supported by Cyanogenmod, LineageOS etc.

All credits to Verizon for the original video (I guess) !

Preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXmYjmsbewE

Instructions:

1) Download: https://mega.nz/#!Qzhn2IIJ!yXXhxqlRZ0FB86656CeVPT6Y9RsYO__px8_bHs3Z-QQ

2) Rename to bootanimation.zip

3) Put it in /system/media

Edit: This is the Verizon Droid Turbo bootanimation. Maybe it's more related to the Droid Turbo (XT1254) forum, but it's still fully compatible with Moto Maxx. Most of unlocked Droid Turbo users are on the Moto Maxx forum, that's why I accidentally posted it here, sorry.
[Moto Maxx Themes and Apps] marek29:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] mrnice10033:
I have a Samsung galaxy J5 (2016, SM-J510FN/DS) whose OS I carelessly deleted (while not having a backup nonetheless :mad:) while fixing a boot loop issue. I managed to reinstall Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) from opengapps.org (Arm architecture, 6.0 Android, Full version). The install was successful (I used TWRP to reinstall from my SD card) but I am now stuck on the boot loop. The phone either stays stuck on the Samsung logo or boots into recovery. I have wiped the Davik cache and performed a factory reset with success but I am still getting stuck on this boot loop. I have reinstalled the OS a few times but it #1 fails on zip verification and #2 repeats the boot loop after zip verification is turned off. I have a feeling that this is probably the root of my problem, however, my tool box of solutions is spent. I respectfully ask for assistance from more knowledgeable individuals and offer my thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
1) Boot in TWRP.

2) Wipe /system, /data, /cache & /dalvik-cache.

3) Power off the phone.

4) Reflash stock ROM with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] BlackAxiom:
Do just like he said, Wiping is not totally required just make sure you perform factory data reset from stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] mrnice10033:
unfortunatly, I've tried this multiple times and still cannot get it out of the boot loop. I'm not booting back into recovery but rather to the Samsung logo now.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] mrnice10033:
I've done this as well with no success.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Suuzuaw:

One thing to note is that you should be flashing AP, BL, CP, and CSC, and not the HOME package only (not sure if your variant has it in the first place!). Also, ensure that the "NAND Erase All" option is ticked before performing the flash.

Are you sure you have got the correct files for your device? Usually, when it errors out at aboot.mbn it is because the files are for another device/variant. What's your device model? I will try downloading for you the stock files and see whether it is successful.

P.S. Just saw that you noted your device model in the OP. Sorry about that! Give me a moment and I will get the files for you!

Guys I expect to get shot by some on here for what will seem like basic questions but I have tried and tried to find answers.

I have a new truck with Android Auto on the head unit. I have a few questions that to some may sound stupid but to me I simply cant find answers.

1 Can stock Android Auto be launched with any other App other than the Actual Android Auto app.

2 Has anyone managed to mod this app on a rooted hand set

3 Can anyone get Spotify to play their playlists (doesnt seem to matter what I say to google I cant)

4 Are there any tips and tricks people are aware of on factory fitted units.

5 Can android Auto app be themed at all.

I am sure there will be a few people who have factory fitted head units who might benefot from answers but I can see any section or answers to basic use questions nor a catagory for such.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. My head unit is a VW stock unit

Thank you

Yo, check out "Trend Font" the apk is not found on play store, so its "unknown sources" and giyf !!

You then have the choice of 39 fonts to install, with no more annoying messages from your awesome new phone.

I tested a few with success on my unrooted s8+

You may then even upload your own personal favorite font, and they may add it to the list for you.

once the font you want is installed you can uninstall Trend Font if you want.

These fonts have also been tested on all galaxy devices including S8, S8+, S7 and S7 edge.

==============EDIT==================

A few dudes out there had issues with this app for reasons unknown to me.

To save anyone else any further hassle, I have collected them all and uploaded a zip with the lot

There are 39 fonts here.

Ps would love "storopia" or "clockopia" if anyone has the skillz to provide? Thanks

= = = = = = = = EVEN MORE EDIT = = = = = = =

I tried just about everything on the S7E to get a font I wanted, samsung doesn't even offer it or i'd have purchased it to save the trouble I went through. I tried over a dozen apps and none of them worked. It just doesn't appear possible. The phone would kick back anything as an unrecognized font (regardless of font format even)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] indexmonkey:
Mate, works for me, otherwise why would i post ?

Open app with data and Wi-Fi off, select your font, turn only DATA back on, then try Selecting the font you want again.

Someone else thanked me so maybe you have other problemo your end?

Attached are three I picked as random as proof this works... I'm using adhell if that makes any difference?

Otherwise I will fetch them all for the community, but my balls are aching at the thought of doing this 50 times when I got the one I wanted first time honest! ;)

Samsung phones only accept fonts developed by Monotype Imaging Inc. There are a few on the Play Store, although some of them are quite goofy looking, there were one or two that I liked.

Only other place to get custom fonts is Samsung Galaxy Apps Store, and over there most of them aren't even in English, so I've decided to stick with the default font.

I should probably point out I did this on a desktop computer. It does automatically download the "downloader" file, which I then deleted. But then it gives the direct download option, which allows downloading the font apk file. I transferred that to my phone, which installed the font.
