[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zacharee1:
So I'm sure everyone knows about Android 7.0's Night Mode and how it can be toggled pretty easily with a Settings.Secure modification, and most people probably know how Google replaced Night Mode with Night Display in 7.1+. The problem with Night Display is that devices need to be "compatible." I don't like this change, but I found a bit of a workaround if you're not able to build your own ROM (or you don't want to). This should work on most 7.1+ devices.

For this, you'll need to know how to use APKTool.

Get APKTool: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/

Get your framework-res.apk (/system/framework/framework-res.apk)

Use APKTool to decompile the APK

Open framework-res/res/values/bools.xml and find this: `<bool name="config_nightDisplayAvailable">false</bool>`

Change `false` to `true`

Use APKTool to rebuild the APK

Open the original APK in a ZIP viewer and copy the META-INF folder into the new APK

Push the new APK back to your device and reboot to TWRP (If you have it. Otherwise, do these operations with `adb shell`)

Copy the new APK to /system/framework/ and set its permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--)

Reboot. Now, the Night Display Settings.Secure options will actually work.

Hopefully this is the right section. I couldn't find anything in General for guides, and I saw this had guides similar to this. Tell me if it's wrong, and I'll flag to move.

[Magisk] Alchemist29:
I have a Galaxy S5 that I recently loaded with Lineage 14.1. I'm having an issue with SafetyNet. I ran the uninstall.zip to get rid of Magisk 10, then installed Magisk 13.2. After boot up, all is well, and I pass SafetyNet check. Then I'm prompted to update Magisk Manager to 5.6.4. I allow the update, then reboot. After reboot, I no longer pass SafetyNet. Enabling Core Only Mode and rebooting does not fix the problem. I get "false" on both CTS Profile and Basic Integrity. I can't figure out what is going on. I've wiped and reloaded about 15 times now, and the same thing happens every time. As soon as I update Magisk Manager, the Safety Net fails.
[Magisk] Nomelas:
install 13.3

13.2 no longer passes safetynet
[Magisk] Alchemist29:
After 13.3 auto-installed yesterday evening, everything is up and running again.
[Magisk] rhollan:
Magisk and bootloader check

Oh! The 13.3 docs clearly say MagiskHide hides unlicked bootloaders. My question below is moot, then, unless i misunderstood something. Time to.play on a Galaxy S5 before I unlock my LG V20. Sorry to waste everone's time.

This might be a stupid question, but I can find no discussion sbout Magisk and hiding the unlocked bootloader status returned by the verified boot check returned by the kernel which should be patched to not report having that feature.

I presume that is independent of what Magisk hides, or can it? It would have to know how to patch all kernels, no?

So, I look for patched kernels for specific LineageOS builds but can find no mention of such things.

Does Magisk do this, or do I have to find a patched version of the kernel, or patch it myself?
[Magisk] Deic:
Magisk Hide hides it, see the source code of Magisk:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk...22b1dbb93b203/jni/magiskhide/hide_utils.c#L22

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk...22b1dbb93b203/jni/magiskhide/hide_utils.c#L26
[Magisk] rhollan:
I have verified this on a Galaxy S5 (I should really add my devices: rooted Galaxy S5 running LineageOS 14.1 and unrooted LG V20) and also verified that Magisk serves as a root gate with a root checker and that it allows SafetyNet checks to pass when installed with recent TWRP recovery and LineageOS 14.1. I have been a little reluctant yet to unlock the bootloader on the V20 since it's a one-way trip.

But. here's the weird thing: if I uninstall Magisk, SafetyNet checks still pass despite TWRP being installed along with LineageOS. Android Pay doesn't complain either (though I have not actually tried to purchase anything using it). So, what gives? Why do SafetyNet checks pass if these are installed? Maybe I should install non-systemless SuperSU and see if that makes the checks fail.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] thunder2132:
I know, I'm sorry, benchmarks, who needs them? The reason I'm testing is because I bought this phone used and I want to make sure that it's not broken in some way. I have a friend who is flipping HTC 10's and he's been doing benchmarks on each one that comes across his desk, and it seems like they're quite a bit different than mine.

On the stock rom my Antutu score has ranged from 108,000 to 152,000. Each time there's up to a 20,000 point difference. In my experience, your benchmark scores shouldn't change much unless you change something, so why the 45K range in scores? Not only that, but in Lineage 14.1 my scores drop significantly, down to 72,000, with the highest at 98,000.

I performed a RUU today and my scores are still flexing between 108 and 118K.

GeekBench 4 is a similar issue, my multicore performance has ranged from 1700 to 4100, and my single core from 1100 to 1700.

On a regular basis my Droid turbo (from 2014, running Lineage 14.1) is beating my HTC One in both tests. Do I have a bad phone, or is this normal behavior for the Sprint 10?

My buddy gets about 4000/1700 in geekbench and about 118K in Antutu, and his scores don't seem to change very much. He's running Lineage 14.1.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Perhaps it's thermal throttling?

Nougat update improved things on that front. Are you on Marshmallow? Also you can try going into developer option and setting High Performance mode and then doing your test to see if you get improved scores.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] thunder2132:
I think you're probably right on the thermal throttling side of things. I'm on Lineage 14.1 now, and if I run a benchmark after the phone has been idle for a while it's in the 138K range where it's supposed to be. Overclocked on stock is where I'm getting closer to 145K. I think I was doing too many tests, and when they were bad, I'd flash to another ROM (while charging) which didn't help with the thermal side of things.

Thermal throttling also would explain why if you do one test, then immediately repeat it the phone will score worse, which happens every time I try it.

I'm not on MM, I did a RUU to the latest version of N and then unlocked from there.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] AWT86:
Hi!

I have purchased a Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL (SD820 version) from Italy, unfortunately it has branding by TIM (Italian Telecom) and thus a TIM SKU.

Can someone tell me the steps I must follow to change the software (incl SKU) to WW?

Does the Bootloader Unlock tool work on all SKU versions?

I heard someone found a way to install WW software, but unfortunately they didn't reply to questions on issues others ran into and I don't want to risk bricking the phone.

Thanks in advance
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Ryder.:
You have to unbrand your phone. The bootloader unlock tool works only with WW SKU, but i'm not sure. Try it

Check this thread: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3-deluxe/help/help-flash-stock-7-0nougat-via-stock-t3588591

There is also a thread in an italian forum, "androidworld"

After unbrand, you have to replace the recovery with the WW SKU one and then you wil be able to update with downloadable firmwares on the asus website

Hey,

I had a non-rooted T-Mobile SIII with stock ROM installed. A few days back, it just rebooted automatically and got in a boot loop. I don't know what happened. After that, I tried to install the stock ROM again via Odin but it seems that Odin is not writing anything on it. The download mode shows

ODIN MODE

PRODUCTNAME: SGH-T999

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

WARRANTY BIT: 1

BOOTLOADER RP SWREV:1​

WHAT HAPPENS

The Phone turns on but cannot go further than the "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo

When I try to go to the recovery mode, the Samsung logo with booting recovery comes and then it just shifts to the boot loop

I can get to the Download Mode and Odin recognizes the device.

It shows the PASS status after writing a recovery image but it just doesn't work

WHAT I HAVE DONE UNTIL NOW

Tried to flash CMW (touch and non-touch both). Odin gives pass but it still boots to boot loop

Same happens with TWRP

Tried to flash the Stock F/W but Odin fails every time before even trying
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
What error is shown in the Odin log? Tried using different usb cables and usb ports with Odin?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dangmouse:
T-999 unbrick

By your description, it looks like your kernel is corrupt. It happened a few times with my note 3 stock, as well as my S III back in the day.

The way I unbricked successfully each time, was to feed Odin one piece of the stock ROM at a time, in this order:

1. Kernel

2. TWRP 2.7.0

3. ROM

IMPORTANT: if you end up going this way, be sure to power down the unit after each STEP. I even removed the battery, just to be sure.

DO NOT ALLOW ODIN TO REBOOT THE UNIT.

Last thing, be aware that the stock upgrade you use has to match any firmware upgrade you may have flashed in the past.

This is a way doable solution.

Ping me if you have questions or need links. I'm still a newly registered user on this board and can't post links yet.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Abdullah.tariq1988:
I followed all your steps. I made it sure after every step that my phone powered down. I also removed the battery for a while after every step but it all ends up the same way.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
You'll have to search to find the correct pit file ford your phone's model number and onboard memory size.

Did you flash the stock firmware as a single file in Odin? Tried different usb ports and usb cables?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Abdullah.tariq1988:
Yes I tried one file and different usb ports and cables
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
So you unzipped the file from sammobile only once to get a tar.md5 file?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
If you can find a pit file and it still doesn't work with the pit file, the memory chip in the phone may be damaged.

Thanks for your help man. It seems that the memory chip is fried. Searching for a motherboard now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] voiceferous:
In your first post you said you can get into download mode.

As last resort I'd try ADB. Try flashing recovery and or boot or even the entire ROM (sideload) via adb (and not Odin). Plenty of tutorials here and on the web and you seem knowledgeable enough to do that yourself.

does anyone know of a software that simply reverses the display of the screen. by no fault of my own i accidently got my phone lodged into my dashboard on my car. before promptly removing it, however, i noticed that the reflection on my windshield looked like a perfect heads up display (hud.) and then it got me thinking. navigation software + plus my titan + plus velcro = the perfect heads up display system. then i realized that everything on the glass was backwards. which completely makes my idea worthless because im not very good at directions anyway, let alone trying to train my mind to turn right when the arrow points left.

so bottom line: does anyone know of any software that will flip the display over vertically or horizontally. any type of mirroring and i should be able to make this work. thanks in advance!
