[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmitza222:
Try to install TWRP again and select Format Data from it. It should wipe the entire internal memory and see if it boots up.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashaduzzaman:
not possible..cause bootloader unlock code is not supported in our country...another idea?

Hi,

I've got a client that has a requirement for a large number of contacts on his XDA, something like 4500 +. They are of varying size, some are just a name and phone number, other contain addresses and so on.

His XDA seems to cope OK with it but of late it's become increasingly less reliable when trying to Activsync over GPRS. Removing the contacts and then adding them back in seems to resolve the problem for a while but it will then reoccur.

Is there a limit as to how any contacts it can reliably handle and if a newer more powerful model with more memory would help things?

Thanks

Hi! Do you experience a constant upload after the security patch?

My background data is always at a constant 12KB/s upload. It's not draining the battery drastically but it wasn't like this before.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] themoveforward:
I have a Galaxy S8 imported from Singapore, which is a supported Samsung Pay country and everything works well, but I want to be able to use the US based version of the app that supports rewards and other things like on my wife's Verizon S8.

Any possible way to get this done, or is it CSC based? And if it is, would it even be possible to flash a US G950U (Qualcomm) based CSC on to an Exynos G950F model?

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikilaine:
Recent apps button thinks I'm pressing it after recent update- Galaxy S6 & Galaxy S5

I have a Galaxy S5 that's getting pretty old. About a week ago, immediately after a system update, my phone started acting strange. It was as if I was pressing and sometimes holding the recent apps button. Constantly. I could sit the phone down and watch it go to town showing the recent apps, then closing it, then showing them again. It made it almost impossible to use the phone. I'd try to type a text message or URL and I'd get one or two letters typed before it would do it again. It was maddening.

After a lot of research and seeing that other people had similar problems, I was able to find an app called "All in One Gestures" and set the recent apps button to not react when it's long pressed. That seemed to work, although it's a bit of a temporary solution as the problem continues when I turn my phone on before the app loads.

Anyway, I chalked this up to having an old phone and was looking forward to getting an S8 soon anyway.

But here's the odd thing.. last night, my mother called me about her Galaxy S6. She had downloaded a system update. Her phone says "Software updated to G920VVRS4DQD1" Android 7.0 Nougat. Anyway, immediately after the update she said her phone started acting strange. She said the power button was controlling the volume and the volume button was controlling the power, and that she couldn't type anything because menus kept popping up. So sure enough, I came to her house today and realized the exact same problem is happening to her phone as was mine. I wasn't able to duplicate the power/volume button problem she mentioned, but I realized the recent apps button is continually thinking it's being pressed. So after starting in safe mode and making sure she hadn't downloaded any new apps recently, I installed the All in One Gestures and it fixed the problem, mostly, (for now) on her phone.

My questions are... is this a known problem with this update? And does anyone know how to permanently fix it?

We have different phones, different carriers (Sprint for me, Verizon for her) and don't live in the same home. It seems too coincidental for it to happen to both of our phones so close together. When I googled "G920VVRS4DQD1" it appears that's a firmware update exclusive to Verizon.

Short of rooting or flashing the phones (my fiance could probably do that for us), does anyone know how to permanently fix this?

We could try a factory reset, but I'm worried it would force me to download the update again and we'd be back at square one.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be thorough. Any insight would be appreciated.

How To Video by [MENTION=4581600]ISF[/MENTION]

[YOUTUBE]kOAaJ_uuRrM[/YOUTUBE]

So, Samsung Galaxy S9 was launched, with an AKG tuned Stereo Speaker. A definitive upgrade from a single bottom firing Speaker on S8 & S8+

but, luckily for us, S8 & S8+ (Exynos Variant) user, there's a way to at least get a similar audio experience on our phone.

This is achieved by enabling our "earpiece speaker" as a secondary output. Creating a pseudo-stereo experience. Sure its nothing when compared to real stereo on S9, but hey, at least we got something right ?

So, how do we get that ? It's simple. We need to modify some lines on mixer_paths.xml file located in system/etc/

but lets make that easier, by providing a Magisk Module & TWRP flashable .zip for you to use.

For you Magisk User, simply download the GalaxyS8DualSpeakerMagiskModule from attachment, and flash it through your Magisk Manager.

If you use SuperSU, you can use TWRP zip also from the attachment, and flash it from your recovery.

Both file support latest OREO firmware and Magisk 16. (If you are still on Nougat, download Nougat version from attachment)

Now, to make it even better, you can then install Audio Mod to your S8, like Viper4FX or A.R.I.S.E the effect will applied to both of the speakers.

For Advanced User :

If you need to adjust the gain yourself, find these lines in mixer_gains and adjust the 35 or 40 value to your liking :

Thanks for the credit. But who is silvercat?

Sorry, i'll split the info :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MichaelGroth:
Ah, ok Haha. np. If there is enough interest around this I will make a flashable version and I might also add some volume modifications. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dehnhaide:
Given the numbers of "Thanks!" you're getting... I suspect there is interest shown to this initiative!

Else... Can anyone e confirm this is working properly on a rooted S8/S8+? Thanks!

Very nice. Can you provide it in zip file? And maybe boost volume. Thanks!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] prodigyX:
Can I assume from the title that you DO need root for this to work? My S8+ is not rooted and I want to keep my warranty, but this mod looks amazing :(

I add the zip download to the OP ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] otonieru:
Yes, you NEED root to write anything into system :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gilg@mesh:
thanks, this thread should be moved to mods section I guess :)

edit: I flashed zip file but I don't get any sound from second speaker...or it's very low I don't notice :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dehnhaide:
Indeed I can report it is working but...

1) the volume from the ear piece speaker is very low or it could be that just the main speaker is too loud and "covers" it...

2) I perceive there is a small delay between the two speakers, specifically when watching YouTube videos, landscape viewing. Sounds more like a reverb... Or it could be just me! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] otonieru:
The mod used can be said as a "safe stage" since earpiece is not actually made for audio playback,

Increasing too much volume into it can break the thing.

This is why the mod kept at the subtle lebel.

You still can edit the mixer to increase the volume level btw, just be careful when doing so, LoL

Btw, am sorry MOD, [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] [MENTION=2047451]Razvan[/MENTION] , i think this thread would be more proper to be placed on "Theme, Mods & Apps" thread, so maybe you can move it if you dont mind.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] siwan05:
Hey guys,

I have always had my op3 encrypted and I've become used to always entering the pin when booting up, accessing twrp etc. but today when I rebooted into twrp I didn't have to enter any pin to use twrp. When booting up the system I didn't have to enter a pin either.

When I check the settings under Security & Fingerprint it looks as in the attached screenshot, I don't have any options to decrypt or anything either

I'm running OOS 4.1.3, FrancoKernel #23 , Magisk 12, twrp-3.1.0-x_blu_spark_v27.

Is this something that anyone has experienced and know how to fix?

I want to keep my encryption but then, of course, you should have to use the pin.

Cheers!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] emuandco:
Then the pin is defaulted and thus you don't need any. I don't need one, too and never did, but all is encrypted (Even locked down with a pin on bootup and fingerprint otherwise)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] noobtoob:
I believe this is an option you need to setup during the wizard when you initially set up the device. It asks you whether you want to require a pin on startup or not.

But, you can also turn this on by going to settings>security>screen lock.

From there, you click on the area where it says PIN. Confirm your pin, then click PIN again, and there should be an option to require pin for startup. Other than that, you are still encrypted, but it is all bypassed in order for quicker startup.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] siwan05:
Ah that was it! it had somehow disabled itself, simply going in and enabling "require pin to start device" solved it.

Thanks! :)

Newest Nougat rom is availabe at here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-axvy-rom-sm-j7108-stable-sexy-af-t3687461

I posted previously for j7108 https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/development/j7108-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-rom-t3542561

This Rom contain Google Play too.

Bloatware is heavily removed, after flash this Rom you will able to uninstall them!

- using newest update from Samsung

- Camera seem to focus faster and able to capture clearer picture

- phone app has new transition

Lot of preloaded apps/bloatwares are removed properly, it will be very long if I list them all.

Tips for keyboard:

Set Keyboard Swipe to Cursor Control, when you typing you can move the cursor up down left right easily

Keyboard size is helpful especially for those screen with problem

Download language pack to enable spell checking.

Edited build.prop for optimisation, check that old thread. Lot are the same except I remove the nobootanimation already.

My warranty is voided last time because I didn't know about frp lock while flashing wrong rom of other country.

To close Frp Lock, enable Developer Options(google it for step), enable OEM Unlock before flashing

Yet I did not add root to this rom for now, comment if you need it.

I do not know if this rom will void your warranty. Feel free comment to tell us. (Mine after flash in Odin mode said official firmware thought)

In summary I think this rom is better, if you have any request, leave a comment below

Will Void waranty!!!

Cannot use pin version, for those who don't have SD card or phone insufficient space:

Download 720.9mb, extract 1 time and ready to flash using odin. Use AP: https://mega.nz/#!ucl01DaA!APSN35pyT0qH4RnP4GNoc9J8C6wVRlpC5TKBfCBvXJE Set lock screen pin not working

No error version. No need format or wipe your phone and all Knox Carmode stub etc removed in compare to top one:

press backspace to hide keyboard. Files below all extract one time and ready to flash.

1. Flash this first: https://mega.nz/#!qUsXmbwD!Q-rr7wJW7AKYi0xsTIZZvhhDG2zHCCbDAWiAA_mS4JY

2. Flash TWRP using odin https://mega.nz/#!ycc3nLBR!_do-RBTeOfIWvDK5enea8tJXDn5w1hyWuL7j7ZCuh5I select AP

3. Put zip to Phone folder or SD card, install using twrp HOME+POWER+ volume up: https://mega.nz/#!aNFECCRS!84XOLiu_-nyMoSSDTS0ym6dA3xek7Cc2GEHlbib30sE

Personal or application data will remain, this is just like update the Rom.

I have tested this rom before post it but still back up your phone. First boot time will be quite long, please wait for it.

Fyi, when preparing update it take lot of time processing, don't interrupt it and it will come to the last step optimise app.

First boot is always slow then it will be fine. Comment if you don't understand or face problem.

It has symbol above every key, long press to use symbol. I really love Samsung Keyboard so much, especially the cursor.

To get red underline, for typo, download language pack first. Assistant Menu is come with the phone, google to enable it.

And quick tip to make your phone faster, enable developer mode then disable animation scale. Screenshot more is very nice, I want to thanks Samsung to provide such features allow me to enjoy their product so much. I hope they add edge panel soon, most useful feature.

Here is the new download link, you can find above too, you need twrp for j7108, check above.

I installed this ROM but I seem to still have all the bloatware. You say after this flash I'll be able to uninstall bloatware, but it is as before, if I select uninstall it only gives me option to uninstall updates and return to factory version of apps.

Hmm, should I have wiped system and cache before flashing?

Clearly I have your new ROM installed because I now have the edge app which I did not before. Or, what did I miss.?

Before flashing I was at version J7108ZHU1BQB1 which is same as what you suggest we upgrade to first. Then I used Odin to flash j7first.tar and then J7108twrp-3.0.3.0.tar, then I used TWRP recovery to install ExcellentTweakedTrimmed.zip
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] doulc:
Yes it should and it will, can you help me check which bloatware is not removed? Look:

View attachment 4156572 can be completely uninstall

That's odd, both .img and twrp version will uninstall my apps.

You say it revert to old version? Flash it again perhaps since it match stock version of that app.

Really, I have tried both of then several time for bug testing, that's why I believe it will 100% work. NO wipe required ya, this is just like updat, DON'T reset as I have tested.

I am gladly to watch it over video to see at what's the problem, if you don't mind pm me your skype username.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] billeuze:
Ha, OK, yes it does work. When I hit "uninstall" it gives me the same dialogue box as always before:

"Do you want to replace this app with the factory version? [Cancel], [OK]"

So I thought nothing had changed and I didn't even try to go further, But now I see that that if I select [OK], it actually does uninstall - it does not revert to the factory version like the dialogue box says it will..

I installed the TWRP version by the way

It won't work, the kernel is not compatible

This is for j7108, still if you want to try I won't stop you.

Place the custom rom in your phone at all time so when anything happen just flash that custom rom you are using now back.

Go to my thread use this link

"3. Put zip to Phone folder or SD card, install using twrp HOME+POWER+LOCK :
