[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JackBurtol:
With all the complaints about the dimness of the G6 I decided to make sure I'm not crazy. Went in to Best Buy with my brand new Sprint G6 and compared my phone at 100% brightness with the demo models for both Sprint and Verizon. Both were a good bit brighter, about 20% brighter I'd say. And both, had a cooler color temperature. My phone looked a bit pink comparatively speaking. Yes, I have comfort view disabled.

I also, have them get out a sealed G6 on Sprint. I turned it on, set it up, and put brigtness at 100%. It was the same brightness as mine, and also less bright than the demo's. So it seems the retail mode has the brightness set past 100%.

Questions I have are, how can I get my brightness as high as the Demo phones? I am planning on installing Lux Dash to see if that can do it, as I can change the color temperature more precisely vs comfort view which I do not like even on low. Anyone have a similar experience?

I'd up load pictures but I can't figure out how to yet.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] S1611:
There is a Demo Mode in developer option, Ive never tried it, may be thats what causing the extra brightness and offset white balance.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lg3FTW:
Have you tried going into color in vision under the accessibility menu and adjusting your color. That what I've been doing since 2013 with my lg g3. Also are you comparing the screens of black phones are silver? Sounds stupid but black phones will appear brighter as the bezel will give you a better contrast ratio. Which is what most protector screen and even tv screens have black bezels.

Has anyone been able to customize the welcome screen of WM6 or WM5?

Or anyone has got some suggestions on this issue?

:rolleyes: Thanks a lot but the issue u r pointing at is about the boot splash and I want to change the welcome screen (green wm6 spash).

Any clue :confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] unapproachable2kx:
You need to overwrite the Welcomehead.192.png in Windows\ with yours one.

I Reallyyyyyy appreciate ur help !!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] gajodafeira:
Your solution works, but look, there are 2 splash screens, that you talks are the second one, how i change the first?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chunkymonkey:
Ah, on most HTC devices I've used the welcome screen is not the same as the splash screen and I think that might be the problem here. The welcomhead file is your welcome screen and easily replaced in your kitchen, but the splash screens (2 of, although sometimes seems like 1 as they might be identical) are installed as part of your ROM.

When you use get to the point in a kitchen of having an OS.nb or Windows.nb or however it's phrased, and you're ready to turn this into a full ROM file, you can add in other things like the IPL, SPL, 1st and 2nd splash screens, radio and extended ROM, each of which has its own .nb file.

Welcomehead is easy to change. The splash screens aren't hard to change and you should find instructions somewhere in any kitchen manual probably. Haven't time to look for you now though, you'll have to scan about in any kitchen-related docs or web pages you have or know of.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] gajodafeira:
When i changed for wm6 the rom changed the 1st and the second splash. I changed again into the 6.1 and only the 2nd was changed, so i think that the 1st aren't directly connected to the ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chunkymonkey:
It just depends on whether the ROM you install happens to come with 1 or 2 or no splashscreens. There's a splash1.nb and splash2.nb (might be slightly different names to that but will be similar) in a full, original ROM - and a radio, IPL, SPL and Ext-ROM too. Each has its own .nb file. (The names of them vary a bit between devices but they're pretty much always easily-recognised.)

Cooked ROMs usually are OS-only, and only made from an OS.nb (or Windows.nb sometimes - you could actually call it anything and still use it). Sometimes however, someone bundles a splash1 or a splash2 with it or both. You could install a ROM and find no splashscreens change afterward - which is usually the case. Whenever I download a ROM and it comes with a splashscreen, I almost always break the ROM down into it's .nb files and then put it back without the splash1 or splash 2 in it.

If you have a go with any ROM using HyperCore you'll find ROMs with 1 splashscreen have 1 .nb file relating to splashscreen and ROMs with 2 splashscreens (or a splashscreen which apears to last ages, which is just identical splashscreens) have 2 .nb files relating to splashscreens.

I don't think not having splashscreens saves any space though as I'm fairly sure that the space is essentially allocated to the relevant .nb files (for splashscreens they're 256k each, the nb files, even if the picture you used was 1 0.5k black mono pic).

Learning to use HyperCore obliquely taught me and many others a fair bit about how these things tick. Not a techie, mind - just done a lot of phone flashing. It's brilliant.

By way of example, here's the .nb file-list from an official (OrangeUK) Hermes ROM. (The basic format is generally the same between devices, even if the names alter - it just happens to be the most recent ROM I broke up in this way and still have the files to list for you.)

RUU_Signed.nbh is the file one would flash. This is made up from:

Windows.nb

Herm_ExtendedRom.nb

IPL.nb

Radio.nb

PrimarySplash.nb

SecondarySplash.nb

SPL.nb

The format doesn't change much between most devices, even if the names change.

I used to have a tool (can't remember who made it) for creating the .nb files for splashscreens. If I find it I'll attach it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Verbato:
I think this is what you were looking for:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=317436

However, would you mind helping me with something? How in the world did you split the nk.nbf into Windows.nb, IPL.nb, PrimarySplash.nb, SecondarySplash.nb and SPL.nb? :confused:

Aaaany help would be muuuuch appriciated.

(and yea, I have hypercore and I'm too stupid to understand how to make use of it :rolleyes:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chunkymonkey:
Good news is you're okay with this already if you've got hypercore. Duttythroy's made a genius tool for it, appropriately entitled Dutty's Good NBH Tool. It splits .nbh files into the .nb files that comprise it, and that tool is in your hypercore.

It's also in just about every kitchen. Definitley on your hard drive somehere. Just use the page that disassembles (not in the programmer's sense) an .nbh file, not the page that puts one back together form the parts we've been talking about.

Good spot on Oli's tool, but it was another one. Had a very simple interface 1-click interface. Wish I could remember whose it was now 'cause I definitely don't have it any more. (Unfortunately, my external HDD went down recently and took ... well, everything with it from the last, ooh, 12 or 13 years. And yes I did have a backup: that was it; the proper HDD went down a few months earlier and, like a complete tool, I left it till the backup died before replacing it.)

EDIT: here it is, to save you searching mate.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Verbato:
Thanks :)

Uhm... Yea, I've been on the "right path" for so long, I have HypeCor, L26.v7, Helmi kitch r0... and I still haven't figured out how to make anything from the nk.nbf-file.

Reading a bit I thought typho5 would -x it into an nbh-file. No such luck. Just died on me telling me the .nbf-file has an "unknown header format".

I've even tried dumping from the phone with some "grab-it"-program.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=238945

It works, it spits out something. But what it is, what format etc I am unsure of.

Heeelp!:(

I am totally lost here...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chunkymonkey:
Ooh, I wouldn't go messing with that just now. If all you want is to take an .nbh file and break it up into the various .nb files, just run dutty's tool, browse to your nbh file and go. it'll dump all he .nb files in no time at all, maybe less. :)

If that's not what you're trying to do then I'm barking up the wrong tree and therefore not helping, but if that's the case just re-explain your needs and I'll have another go.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Verbato:
Oooohh... I love to mess around :p

Okay, exact mess I want to get my self in to:

swat4 was as kind as to drop a WM5-image with sdhc-drivers. I want to take out those .dll-files and add them to another image. Namely Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.1.

But so far all I have is this nk.nbf-image. That, and I found this grab-it-tool, which copys the roms image straight over to SD-card in raw format.

Hmmm... Any hints to point me in some general direction as to what to do next?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chunkymonkey:
Righto.

If I was trying to add SDHC drivers to a ROM that didn't have them already, I think I'd be using HyperCore to turn the nbh of that ROM into .nb files and then into the series structured files and folders that kitchens usually use, OEM, SYS, ROM, etc., and then just adding an SDHC OEM. After which HyperCore becomes very similar to most kitchens.

OR I'd be just popping a line into the preconfig file if there is one, such as "CAB: /Windows/SDHC_drivers_that_I_wish_were_already_included_in_this_ROM.CAB" for example and letting it install as a cab at the preconfig stage instead of an OEM. (I'm a big preconfig fan.)

Might be quicker to use a kitchen from scratch than HyperCore to edit a pre-existing ROM though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Verbato:
Hey, wow, thanks for all your help!

I still don't understand how to make an .nbh-file out of an .nbf-file though.

However I've tried copying sdbus.dll, SDHC.dll and SDMemory.dll to /Windows on the device, like I was recommended by someone else.

All that did was make my sdhc dissapear. No luck there.

I'm so frustrated, just looks like getting a proper WM5-image to work with >4G sdhc isn't feasible. Or at least, not for now. :(

Which is so frustrating, since there is one that does work. Gnh!

However, thanks for your time. I appriciate it. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sireniankyle:
Many people assume that this choice only depends on if you want root, however, there are other things to consider:

-network compatibility

-warranty

-performance difference

-power efficiency

-ram management

-promotions

-obvious root and bootloader

With all of that in mind, which variant are you going for, and why?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
How do you suppose Exynos/Snapdragon choice is connected to root? You can have it on both.

Exynos hands down.

I refuse to drop $1300 on a device and not be able to do what u want with it.

Exynos is better on battery and just a smoother experience overall and yes ive has snap and exynos versions of the note 7 and s8 plus to compare.

Network compatibility isnt an issue here in Canada (if your on CDMA your screwed for the exynos version)

Could care less about warranty and lets face it...if your on xda and worried about warranty you may be in the wrong place. Development and warranty do not go well together.

You may lose some features on an international device such as wifi calling etc but if you dont care about that and want root, twrp,roms etc your out of your mind to buy a snapdragon.

Its funny how ive seen on the s7,note 7 and s8 when ppl buy the snap version then whine and moan the BL is locked and takes forever to even get root....lol whos fault is that? Buy the appropriate device based on your needs. People arent too bright it would seem?

Sort of.

The root on the snaps is based on engineering firmware and has disadvantages as compared to SU or magisk.

You just cant compare the two... not to mention no twrp...no kernels and there will be very few roms.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sireniankyle:
I agree. The only reason I went with the snapdragon S8+ was because I got $300 off for trading in a Note 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sireniankyle:
Exynos gets root right away. Snapdragon takes months, and is not as good. You have to flash a weird universal stock rom that won't even let you charge past 80% (at least on s8+).

Preordered the note 8 unlocked snapdragon because I'm on Verizon. Got the unlocked version just in case root is not possible and the resale value is better for unlocked phones. Really hope root is possible though!! So snapdragon s8 root was achieved? That's promising!!

I've never looked into buying an Exynos version before but I won't buy a locked down phone.

I'm on Samsung's site right now. Can anyone tell me how I know I'm getting the Exynos version as it doesn't say on there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shadym1lkman:
HW Lottery usually works in favor of the Exynos:

Bootloader easier to unlock (SD835 will have numbers but requires a lot more effort wrt unlocking)

UFS Version (wrt GS8) 2.0 v 2.1

Radio SD Has CDMA

Camera Sensors: Sony v Samsung (not clearly SOC dependent)

Theres a few reasons.. not all linked but generally Exy version is slightly better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] force70:
Couple small corrections.

The exynos bootloaders are not and have never been locked.

The snapdragon bootloaders will never see an unlock (the s7s are still locked).

If you want development forget the snapdragon and go exynos

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] swazedahustla:
Go with whatever you choose, there will be development for both. It may take a little more time for the snap, but the best dev's love the challenge.

If someone who isn't a dev is telling you there won't be development, i wouldn't really listen to that advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RealEvil:
Anandtech did a comparission recently and the 835 is faster. I live in UK so have no choice, Exynos it is, but im fairly sure that the old idea that Exynos is "better" has been disproven.

I just can't wait for my $1000+ Note8 to come in so it can make me coffee and do my laundry !! Oh wait
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] force70:
There will some but very little development for the snap. Without twrp possible for the device i dont know why you would think otherwise?

Exynos will have root and twrp within the first week of release and roms and kernels shortly thereafter...just as on the s7, note 7 and S8 .

Thats not my opinion thats fact based on past history and personal experience as I have owned all of those devcies.

Have you?

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

What tools did they use to compare and what measurement was used to determine faster?

Again speaking as someone who has owned both snap and exynos versions of the note 7 and s8 the exynos is a smoother overall experience with less lag. Exynos certainly has better battery life.

If you haven't owned both and are relying soley on some tests done a website thats just what you read you cannot say based on personal experience.
