[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brookspeffer:
This is a serious question. What is the appeal in s8 roms? I've been thinking of trying one myself. So far I've tried a few stock based roms and lineage (which wasn't very good, honestly) and am currently very happy with the Superstock rom.

What do s8 roms offer over stock s7 ones? Are they as stable, is the camera as good, and are there any negatives? Thanks a lot for any helpful replies. [emoji3]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rajeev:
In my opinion S8 ported roms are way smoother than stock. Its very smooth..

Some S8 ported roms has very bad battery life and some has good and decent battery life..

And also in my several tests i found S8 ported Camera is not good as stock one.

All S8 ported roms are super stable only.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] robhug:
The mains things about s8 ports is to use latest apps and features (infinity wallpaper, new lockscreen and every apps in latest dream UI version with all new s8 icons

But of course bugs cause of the different screen ratio , different hardware and nav bar , etc, so worst battery life etc..

I prefer personally s7 base with s8 apps , like ambasadii v15 + the add on that install so apps and theme the Rom to do style , and get stability performance and battery of s7 base in s8 style

And about aosp I agree. It's very sad , it's usable but compare to other aosp of other Samsung devices it's not the best, it's seems that aosp is way harder in s7 than other devices
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mujaid714:
go for renovate rom..u will really love it...good feature ...g8 performance and battery life...even camera is good..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rajeev:
Its already dead na. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mujaid714:
yes development is no more...but contains almost all feature...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rajeev:
I know but what use if there is no more future supports..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mujaid714:
can i ask what further updates are u expecting...since s8 is launch there will be slow developement in s7 variants..however for daily drivers it contains all you need...anyways every one taste is different bro...

other rom you can try is superman rom on stock based...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rajeev:
Further updates ofcourse if S8 got a new software update the S8 port should also get na? Thats i mean.

Anyway i loves stock always. Not happy with the S8 camera buddy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mujaid714:
further updates depend bro in terms of hardware....i too agree s8 camera is not upto mark..but it doesnt make much different...i have compared both the camera..hence sticked yo s8..:p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rajeev:
Yea. I have tested alot. But dont know i can't settle my mind. Ha ha.. I am searching for a rom that has all S8 features with Stock Cam. Do u have any advice bro?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mujaid714:
hmmm i came across one ..but cant remeber its name...i think it might be dream projects or tgp... will recheck ....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rajeev:
Please let me know buddy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] robhug:
Somebody knows about the s8 camera? I explain, it's the same sensor as s7 but Samsung said there is an all new software treatment or I don't know what that increase the camera quality. (I am like many absolutely not sure what it is or if it's really true but anyway) is this "new software treatment" in camera app , that we "get" if we install on our s7 or in the s8 software that we can experience with an s8 rom port? What are you thinking about it guys?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
Nice find Vukile!

Odd that all of us PPC geeks would have missed this. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth it? Last time I tried a new cool UI type app (PointUI), I ended up having to hard reset....not really looking forward to that right now.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] we3zy:
The UI is free, but the plugins and contact software is not.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
I'll give it a try, hope this won't end in a hard reset ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
did you had to do a hard reset due to Pointui? :eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
tried activeui and activeui multi touch, but it looks crappy.. maybe not for vga screens.. (X51V)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
I guess I probably did not have to resort to a hard reset due to PointUI. But there is no "proper" uninstall...so it takes manually removing files and registry keys. Rather than wonder what else it left, I did a hard reset. It was a good time to flash a new ROM anyway :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
Unfortunately it's not very good. Both the normal as well as the multi-touch are a pain to use. I might not have noticed but what exactly is so multi-touch about it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jarotbudiono:

i kind of like it....using it on my tilt....takes getting use to but the look of it i think is better than pointui....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vukile:
Its like Throttle Launcher scrolling on the today screen. this app is very much underrated.. As for PointUI, SK Tools cleaned up after it and I used the softkey applet to set my softkeys again. In the same breath, if you ask me, its Mortbuttons in a different guise, at least its free.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daverage:
Interesting ui, but ultimately not very good and very usable! Slow menus and unresponsive scrolling don't help.

Looks nice, but is a pain to use, will keep an eye on it though as it has potential.

Also once you uninstall it, it leaves its little installation system on your phone!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] E_Shinobi:
Agreed.

Works though on prophet. But not very fluently.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razes:
I have Xperia Z3c 5.1.1 rooted with locked bootloader. It is on wifi only. Yesterday I've turned wifi on and suddenly have got device off. I tried to reboot. I see the Xperia logo and bluish Xperia start screen with waving elements. However, the home screen and apps are not appeared, have just black screen. The battery is fully charged (green led). I tried several times reboot today as well with the same result. I believe the phone is soft bricked.

The phone is rooted with NDR Utils and TeamWin Recovery (TWRP). I also have Titanium backup.

After reading this forum I found several ways to unbrick the phone:

1. Soft reset (Power + VolUP) up to 1 vibration.

2. Hard reset (Power + VolUP) up to 3 vibrations.

3.Use flashtool (flashmode) and flash ftf file. Should I flash Kernel as well?

4. Use phone System recovery (Power + VolDown).

Which method I should try first? Can I save root and my current Lollipop firmware or I should go and start from the scratch with rooting and flashing 5.1 again?

Thank you for your suggestions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzysiek546:
Try soft reset and hard reset. This don't break your phone but it is worth a try. If this will not work do NAND backup (full backup of phone) in recovery. Now you can try clear cache in TWRP (wipe -> advanced wipe -> check cache -> swipe to wipe). If this don't work try clear dalvik/art cache.

If this metods didn't work flash same rom (if rom was't pre-rooted root after flash). If system starts you can restore NAND backup without system partition and cache.

If system don't start after restore backup the last chance is clear rom flash.

I don't know where the problem is but in my place I would do that
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razes:
Thank you krzysiek546 for your help.

I have tried soft and hard reset, both unsuccesful. I made backup and wiped cache and dalvik from within TWRP. The phone after apps optimization has started the system (there was black screen but I was able to see home and Back buttons, which were non-functional, i.e non-responsive.) The screen became black again after a few secs and did not return to the life then.

I think I'm going to flash the Rom. My question is there is any chance to get brick again in case I will restore from the TWRP backup (if there was a virus or something?). May be I should wipe data, cache and dalvik and only then made a backup?

Also, when you saying "a clear rom flash" as a last chance do you mean factory reset?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzysiek546:
Don't wipe data before backup. This is like doing backup after format system. It doesn't make sense.

Have you tried this metod with flash with nand backup and flash same rom (zip from twrp or ftf from flashtool) and restoring data without system partition (it's important)? In this i mean something corrupted system files. In this metod you can save your data. You just reinstall system and restore data from nand backup.

When I sayed "a clear rom flash" i mean wiping all data in recovery and flash rom from flashtool or twrp without restoring anything. You can do it first. I think now it's beter because you can check did that fixed your problem and if this "clear rom flash" repair your problem you can restore data from backup.

As to your question. Yes you can get brick from restoring data from twrp but in my opinion this virus or something must have root permissions to do this.

After installing the newest supersu, I also get this bootloop. Is there a chance to undo this without wiping data?

Thank you for the link. Worked great for me. Installed per TWRP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razes:
Well, in my case I didn't updated SuperSU, just have turned on wifi. I think the problem may be in Wallpaper app I have installed previously. It changes wallpaper every day, but I noticed sometimes the background of my home screen where all apps are became black.

Anyway, only "clear rom flash" with wiping cache, dalvik and data helped me. I then installed pre-rooted Lollipop ROM I made before and restored all custom apps from the Titanium backup. BTW, don't try to restore system apps from the Titanium, I've got the error with Xperia keyboard and have to make a restore whole system from TWRP.

Thank you krzysiek546 very much for your help.

hello.I replaced my battery and I have the same problem (somehow) as before!to clarify..I dont know why I cant get the superb of 11 SOT when I bought it and running kitkat..now I am on lollipop and get max of 7:30 SOT max.

So my issue is that when battery goes down from 16% iy drains battery % muuuch faster!it happens again now even after replacing the battery,but not so quick compared to before..what can be the cause?thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ShinOrochiX:
STAMINA Mode?

Do you enable stamina mode when the battery gets low (e.g. 15%)? I find that the battery drains faster when stamina mode is on (sounds funny-I know, since it should improve battery). Even for my Xperia XA, I seem to lose more battery with stamina and even more with ultra stamina. :silly: This is when the device is idle.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kos25k:
yes dude I have always stamina on.I miss the good days with kitkat that I had 11 hours SOT.Maybe I'll revent back to kitkat to test.but I don't think I will get these numbers again..don't know maybe is hardware issue cause tablet is 2+ years old...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ShinOrochiX:
Possibly a hardware issue but I doubt it. I've used an Xperia device running KK and can say that that was the last version (I think) that had the good old stamina mode which totally suppressed mobile data/wifi resulting in very good battery life, ever since lollipop they decided to use the built in android battery saver and based stamina mode around that which is next to useless, it doesn't actually suppress the network connection, only reduce brightness, sync and performance.

I find that only keeping the wifi on during use/charging to help a lot, settings->wifi-> it is somewhere there where you can change this.

You could always revert to KK if you find a ftf.

I've only had the tab for a week or two and am happy with the battery life vs performance, much better than the nexus 7 2013.

My Xperia z3 compact tablet battery drains fast

Hi Everyone,

I got the xperia z3 compact tablet earlier this year and it was good for a few months before the battery started giving me issues. It practically drains out while still about 60% charged and when you plug it for charging it begins from 0% before a twinkle of an eye it's at 100%. I noticed lately the tablet goes off even when the battery is saying 80% charged. I've reached out to sony and the suggestion was that i format the tablet which i did but to no avail. Pls is there anything i can do?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ShinOrochiX:
Unfortunately it sounds like a hardware problem since a reset didn't fix it. You can try going into the service menu and see battery health there, maybe even do a test on it. To go into the service menu open the phone app and dial *#*#service#*#*

You spell service by using the corresponding number buttons.

Edit: realised it might not have a phone app, in that case download an app from the play store that helps you open the service menu. I don't own this tablet anymore so can't fully remember haha. :p
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Colly4real2k4@gmail.com:
I've done as you instructed though i had to download the dilaier cos the tablet is the WIFI version and i didn't see the battery option. I really need help with this
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ShinOrochiX:
You sure? It should be under "Service tests" -> "Battery Health test" (you may have to scroll towards the bottom). For example on my Xperia Z5 it says "Good, no need to replace it." Other than that I don't know what else to say, because if a reset doesn't work it has to be a hardware issue. It may be useful to try an app which reads battery diagnostics.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Whoooo?:
Hi there,

I finally got around to try unlocking my axon/root/custom rom and ran into problems right in the beginning.

I'm using the Axon Toolkit 1.1.1 (that should fully work with A2017G) and followed the steps to unlock the bootloader (as afaik fastboot isn't working on the G-Variant before unlock/TWRP).

So I chose option 6-unlock, MiFlash launches and I have to select the folder with the files to flash, following the instructions of the toolkit.

For the record - I'm on MM B08.

The unlock files the AxonToolkit offers are in a folder 'A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL' containing a fastboot.img.

Can I use these files or are they only for the A2017U (as the name would suggest)??

My first thought is 'No', but then if the Toolkit is supposed to fully support the A2017G?

There is a also another downloadable file from a different thread called 'TWRP_UnlockBootloader_by_DrakenFX.zip' (by DrakenFX for Generic Device/Other), which sounds more like it, BUT:

This one is normally flashed with TWRP, not MiFlash.

In this thread one would use tenfar's signed (but containing a bug) version of TWRP to install that file BEFORE the bootloader is unlocked.

I'm however keen to jump the flawed version and

- unlock first

- flash TWRP

- flash above fastboot enabler

- flash modem/custom rom (RR) etc.

So could someone please confirm:

With a 2017G (6.0MM B08) is it possible to

- Unlock the bootloader first without using tenfar's 3.0.2 TWRP?

- Which Unlock file should I use? The first one? Or can I use the generic (second) one with MiFlash or TWRP only?

- If that works, did you simply go Advanced Options<Flash boot/bootloader/modem/recovery<choose recovery partition<select C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\twrp\twrp-3.1.0-ailsa_ii.img with the Toolkit? (or did you e.g. have to install adb 1.4.2 first to get twrp on the device via adb)

Thanks a lot for the help everyone - I know there are a lot of Guides out there, unfortunately (and I was reading through the whole threads for all of them) it gets more confusing with each one, as they all do things slightly differently, for slightly different versions, etc.

The Toolkit seems like a great start to simplify things a lot, but there is no step-by-step guide how to exactly use it for the 2017G (using what files).

The guide using the toolkit for the A2017G uses it in command line mode - that didn't work for me. Not sure if it's using an older version, but as soon as I start the tool with a command line, it kills the existing process and comes up with the dialog (I'm also on Win7 32-bit, using 32-bit MiFlash)...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
What?? Zadig drivers never worked for me on MiFlash. Also if you restart the EDL mode (vol up+dn+power) if you do something and it fails, it will probably work. I've been using MiFlash a lot on A2017G and don't have all those problems you mentioned

Using Controllerboy's guide would be better though, true
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Whoooo?:
Hi there,

And thanks a lot both of you! :)

I think that pins down my problem:

- I cannot use Controllerboy's guide as the linked axontool works only on Win64 and the Toolkit for Win32 doesn't support command line...

- I managed to get the QUSB_Bulk driver installed, but MiFlash needs Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008?? Can anyone confirm this? And how do I get these back again?

- Still not sure if the 'A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL' is the right file to flash - I noticed the trial Toolkit (v1.2) has a different one?

So I either now need a guide to use the newest Toolkit version, or get MiFlash running with the right file (starting with the Unlock)...
