[Other Tools & General Discussion] zzcool:
hi i have hired a team to make a launcher for me i call SymetiumUI, anyway we have gotten in alot of arguements and it looks like the app is being killed because of it can't find help to finish it, allthough this blur question this wasn't an arguement i still would like to know, i was told by that team that selective wallpaper blur where a shape of the wallpaper is blurred isn't possible, only the layer that goes ontop the wallpaper would blur it which causes alot of performance issues limiting it to one or two blurred objects at a time on screen.

So i would simply like to know is it possible for an app to blur a round ball or box on a wallpaper or can it just blur the entire wallpaper and not sections of it.

The idea for my app is that a part of the wallpaper would be blurred then a colored layer would be placed ontop causing the frosted glass efffect or even ios effect if you set the layer to white and slightly transparent, another workaround i came up for this is that the launcher keeps the entire wallpaper blured but only shows sections of the wallpaper blurred, meaning a layer is free to move ontop like a dynamic blur.

Should I use the one by Samsung so as not to degrade the battery?

or it doesn't matter at all?

What brands would you recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] howdyace:
It doesn't matter. I use 2 official wireless chargers and one 3rd party pleeson brand.

Not one difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Varekai:
I don't know, after the latest system update on verizon my 3rd party wireless charger stopped working. Only charges about 20% then stops.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] gary93:
Shouldn't be. But I'm waiting for the new convertible one to be on sale.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] chuman72486:
The S8 supports most wireless chargers, but it's best to make sure the charger you pick was made for at least the S7 if you want to get the wireless fast charge function.

The transmitter for the wireless charger also needs to line up with the right spot on your phone or it might not make a proper connection. I had this issue with my S6 where the spot on the phone was lower than the charger, so I had to put something below the phone to line it up with the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] SNH48:

I have a normal diy wireless charging coil. It heard up more than it charges.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jfcooley:
I bought a Black Web wireless charger from Walmart originally as a temporary charger until we got in the Samsung one. Honestly not going to bother. It works well enough, no heat and holds the phone at 100% once charged.

I looked around on Amazon and it seems to be identical to several they sell, just different branding.

I'm content at the moment, was only $20.

My Nexus 6 charger worked only at normal speeds. I like the magnet in it so ordered magnets to attempt to modify the Blackweb charger. They aren't necessarily needed, just something I want to attempt.

One more thing is my TC does not have the soft keys below the send and end keys. Also it is not as mirror like finish as it is on the video.

I have already put the post abt screen protector in some other thread. Is there any where i can get screen protector similar to what we get in the actual package. Please send me the links...

I got the perfect model from devicewire. I guess I didn't pay much attention to the unboxing video as I was glazed with my own handset. There might be differences, as pointed by others above, as compared to the actual production model.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christianihechi:
One click root apps like Kingroot can't root your device. You need to install a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash Super Su which will give you root access on your Gionee p8w.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christianihechi:
Don't try that at all. Since your device is new, you need to port a working TWRP Recovery to your device. If you have the stock recovery, upload it to any file sharing site and post the link here.

I will try to port a working custom recovery for your device.

I see that the process will be a very tough and tedious one.

Actually I hoped there could be an automated process to it.

Following the whole procedure could get me start venturing to rom and kernel tinkering which I try to avoid Cus am already occupied with app development.

Based on your first reply do you mean that my device can never be rooted by "one click root" apps?

Is there possibility of Kingroot being able to root my device in nearest future.?

I sincerely appreciate your efforts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christianihechi:
It isn't as hard as you think. Just installing drivers, downloading the software and connecting your phone as the instructions state. Well, One Click Root apps don't work on the recent Android versions /MTK chips.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ugocnece:
Thanks so much. I don't really know why Google always prefer to make things so over-complicated.

They know people buy Android phones just so they can root it and do stuffs yet they overcomplicate the whole issue.

I hope to venture to kernel tinkering soon. Even may be write my own OS.

Thanks you so much.

If you get information when "one click root start working, please alert me on this thread.

[Google Cardboard] noha.ibraheem:
Hello everyone :),

I want to share with you our new android VR browser :NOMone VR Browser

It is a side-by-side android browser that enables you to surf the normal internet pages/content while wearing vr glasses. You can use it also for online streaming, reading manga, watching your favorite videos as if your in a cinema! or even working anywhere without laptop/desktop (just your mobile, keyboard and mouse!).

For devices with Gyro sensor, you don't even need the keyboard and mouse. Just slightly move your head( like gaze based apps), put on your earphones and use its button for clicking/ dragging.

The browser is still undergoing heavy development (like making compatible VR keyboard in the next release isA, theater mode for 360 videos and other cools features ), but it's perfectly usable now. let me sum up the main current features:

-- Gyroscope based pointer. Move your head and use your earphones/handsfree/controller media button to click. You can perform continuous scrolling by dragging to the top/bottom of the screen. You can also use other configurations (like a USB keyboard/mouse using OTG cable, or a wireless keyboard and mouse combo, or bluetooth keyboard/mouse).

--From the options menu, use the calibration settings to get the ideal configuration for your cardboard or VR glasses for optimum VR/3D experience.

--Bookmarks. Before putting your phone into the cardboard, open all the links you need and add them to bookmarks. This way you won't have to remove it to type url. Do this until the VR keyboard is ready (in next release if Allah wills).

-- If you have a small screen, try decreasing the browser scale (in calibration settings) to show more content in the same area.

--A basic ad pop up blocking is in place to give you less hassle while browsing.

-- If you have a bluetooth VR controller, use the mouse mode (press "Fn + D"). You can drag continuously by holding left click down and using the analogue stick.

-- Sign up for a Cloud 9 IDE account. Happy coding ;)

--Install X11VNC and connect to your remote machine using NOVNC.

-- Install a local server, like Palapa Web-server and install your tools. Now, control everything from the browser

Known Issues:

-- The normal soft-keyboard is not fit for VR browsing.

-- Can't use the gyroscope cursor to type.

Coming up next:

-- VR keyboard.

-- Theater mode (for 360 degree immersion and more video formats support).

-- Save/Load tabs from last times.

-- Most frequently visited launch screen.

-- Lens correction.

-- Mixed reality mode (have the browser in front of you, but see the camera feed when looking to the sides).

We think the VR Browser is a great idea, but we need you support and feedback to improve it and make everyone's experience a great one. Kindly try the application and tell us what you think.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort in advance :)

I am stock / non-root Build-N6F27C. I have latest TWRP and Franco-r67 installed... but my stock backup I had, got deleted somehow... :eek:

I am needing the stock kernel, so I can make a new backup, and try the Elemental-X kernel.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Download one of the factory images from Google's pages and get your stock kernel from there (labeled "boot.img"). You're unlikely to find a pure stock kernel here, simply because the developers strip things out of it that annoy people, like dm verity.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Juliogol:
Hi guys!

Been loving my S8 so far, but I don't know if I am missing something or it's just the camera that works like this, but, photos taken outside come out bright and no problems.

But whenever I try to take photos of my 8 month ols son, 6 out of 10 times, I end up with a blurry shot. Am I missing some setting? Anyone else having the same problem?

I noticed a small milisecond kinda delay after taking the shot sometimes, doesn't matter if I have internal storage selected or SD card as save directory.

Here are some samples of the results I get.

Tried sports mode and while there's no delay when taking the shot, I get kinda the same results.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
He is clearly moving and in low light camera needs to have lens open longer to expose picture properly. To fix it you need to switch into PRO mode and then you have 3 options which do pretty much the same thing different ways:

1. add more or stronger lights into the room, 2. manually set ISO as high as you can tolerate noise (probably need to do few test shots) 3. set shutter speed at at least 1/100 sec or shorter depending on speed of movement, here you risk under exposure, high ISO noise. Also you can combine 1 and 2 or 3.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Juliogol80:
Thanks for the advice. Used to get better results in the same conditions with the Nexus 6P that's why I found this strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Either your kid is growing up and moving faster :) or Nexus defaulted to higher ISO settings in similar conditions. At 1.7 the lens on S8 is most likely brighter than 6P, but the ISO setting is double edged sword: higher the ISO less blur in fast moving object, but more noise, which could ruin the picture. Another way to do it is to time it just when the movement is smallest and if your timing is off, then set the cam into burst mode, you'll have whole bunch of pictures to choose from. S8 has one of the best, most capable cameras on any phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Juliogol80:
Haha maybe he is quite fast now :D

I thought maybe it was a setting I was missing or a defective camera. Thanks again!!

FAQ and other notes

Fully working

About security

In order to make multi-booting possible, MultiROM has to sacrifice some security measures. Firstly, on secondary Android ROMs, /system is not mounted read-only. While there are other things preventing malicious software from messing with /system, this might potentially make it easier for such software to attack that system.

What do the ROMs share?

All ROMs are separate, except /sdcard, which is shared between all Android ROMs.

How many ROMs can I have?/Where are the ROMs stored?

You can have as many ROMs as you can fit in your /sdcard. All the ROMs are stored in /sdcard/multirom/roms or on an USB drive. This folder is unaccessible in Android, to prevent mediascanner from scanning it. You can either in recovery, or obtain root and go to /data/media/0/multirom/roms.

Can I have different versions of Android working alongside

Yes. As long as you select "Don't shere kernel" when installing the secondary ROM, the systems are separated.

MultiROM recovery says it's 2.6.3.0. Why isn't it updated to 2.6.3.*highernumber*?

It is, it just shows wrong version.

The menu with all the ROMs won't show up during boot, how to fix it?

Either re-flash the MultiROM zip or go to recovery, Advanced -> MultiROM -> Inject curr. boot sector.

The reason for this is that something rewrote your boot.img, which happens for example when you flash a kernel. MultiROM's boot menu is part of the boot image, so it has to be added into it again.

Will you port MultiROM to device X?

No, probably. I won't port MultiROM to any device I don't own, because it is very difficult to provide the level of support I want to provide if I can't test things myself, as proven by the Nexus 4 port. I'd like to support more devices, but it is also very satisfying to work on code for device I don't have - I invested hours upon hours of time for free into it, and then I can't even see it running on the device, so...why..bother..?

I'll probably keep buying Nexus devices and keep porting MultiROM to those myself, but I can't buy every single device - I'm still a student, all my existing devices were bought using some kind of money grant or donations from users.

But, you can port it yourself, the wiki should give you at least some idea how to do that:

https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/wiki/Porting-MultiROM
