#MeToo

I stumbled across this site also looking to disable selfie mode. I DESPISE it and it's always getting in my way. To the idiots responding negatively, those are the douche bags taking pictures of themselves.

Re: to the guy condescendingly questioning why somebody would not use an actual dedicated camera. You may not one depending on what your photograhing. Often times you can get equally good results with lighting and a newer model cell phone in pro-mode. I personally have a decent DSLR and always use my phone out of pure convenience. Though with that said, if i was a photographer working with clients, i would never show up with only a cell phone.

If some Samsung suits ever read this, selfie mode sucks and is one of the most ridiculous and annoying features i have ever seen on a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xaml:
I fully agree that this is an annoyance, along with the brightness slider getting in the way when attempting to focus in that area of the screen. And the flash popout menu should simply be a toggle button in my view.

That said, there may be a couple of uses for these sticks that some people use to facilitate their grandstanding. I better not get into that, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
in short, yes. you can disable the FFC, but it wont help. Matter of fact itll probably mess everything up worse than you think. In order to disable it, youd have to mess with the kernel, as there is no toggle for the FFC. In addition, the app itself will always look for the FFC and offer you its respective options from within the app such as it being in the list of camera modes, which sounds like your ACTUAL problem. So, the long answer is no, not really. Not with the stock camera app anyways

Have you ever worked with a DSLR? unless you already have it out and ready, there is no capturing of the moment with those. Point and shoots too. They have to boot every time you turn them on which takes time and causes people to miss the shot they wanted.

i cant begin to describe how incorrect this is. this is the internet, if you ask a question on it, youll perhaps get a barrage of answers, some of them you might find useful, others not, but you dont get to decide what is a debate and what isnt. If youre not a moderator of this forum and no wrongdoings have occurred, the "debate" will be allowed.

btw, to answer your question, reassign the bixby button to launch the camera. My S9 launches the camera on bixby press and is ready to take a picture in a second
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
Yup. Sure have. Several different kinds. Unless you already have anything out and ready, smartphone, DSLR, P&S, Walgreens disposable camera, there is no capturing of the moment (if it's something faster than you getting the cam ready).

So, yes. I have and it's not hard. Also, as you may already know, there's a wide range of quality between different cameras and with that various levels of speeds with their capturing abilities. Somehow, some cameras find a way to capture fast moments. I know, right? It's crazy. Like I said before, it depends on you. How you prepare. What you are doing. Where you are going. Event? You should be prepared? Random occurrence? Smartphone. I mean, it seems easy enough to me.

But that's just me, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
to quote yourself from your previous post...............

"Wouldn't you have dedicated tools for whatever job you might be at? Like, if you're anticipating needing to capture important images depending on where you are wouldn't you have your dedicated camera on you and not be relying on a smartphone camera?

Personally, I see our phones as phones first, media players second and cameras third. Compact advanced P&S are always better than what our phone's camera can do, anyway. At least that's just my opinion."

you spoke of hardware in that post and preparedness in this last one. because theyre the exact same thing. "I know, right? its crazy"

of course it depends on you, thats the point

also, not everyone who owns a DSLR, P&S, film cam etc etc etc has them out while a moment you want to get a pic of occurs, what do you reach for? the moment is obviously not going to last long and you have your phone and a DSLR. You just had your DSLR out and taking pics of far away buildings, so you have a 70/200 mm lens on it and the exposure is long for the same reason. Oh, forgot to mention that the thing youre wanting to take a pic of is 15 ft from you and moving. Now what? Your phone is still just a phone? and i should have been "prepared" for this somehow?

oh oh oh, almost forgot. I love how you say "personally, i see our phones as blah blah" Nobody asked you what your opinion on how to use their phone. Best part is how you got defensive after having the durr pointed out on your first post in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
I'm sorry my innocuous opinion got so deep under your skin. My fault. I didn't know how sensitive you were.

All the best, my friend. Take absolute care.

You got me man. Boy do I feel sheepish. Troll on trollboy
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Shoumard:
Im a Home Inspector, I use my Samsung to run my report programs, bluetooth my moisture meters, fly the drone and take photos. I do not want the selfie feature and would love to turn it off. Hell, I barely use the phone feature on my Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
might be best putting a piece of tape over the aperture. youll likely need root to do this, but by now im betting that someone made a magisk module to disable the cameras. If youre still wanting to do this, id look at magisk nowadays. in yesteryear, it was a very specific thing, but nowadays i bet something thatll get ya where you need to be is out there. i just dont mess with root enough anymore to be knowledgeable about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SamSucksSon:
I discovered this problem whenever I try to close the camera app by swiping up--forgetting that the phone has different gestures than my old phone. I'm not sure why there is such an urgent need for a selfie, such that it has it's own gesture. Many people put tape over the selfie camera, so being able to disable it makes more sense than giving it its own gesture.

BTW, not to fan the flames, but the phone makers go through a lot of effort to market their phone cameras as high enough quality to be used by pros, so I'm not sure what prompted 'his' lecture about when to use a phone camera and when not to use a phone camera.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr.Salty:
Hello. Anyone know how to use AMPLIFY , what wakelocks or alarms or services should be limited?

Cuz I don't know which are the one?

Or should I just choose those which are safe to be limited only is enough?

There are 3 in Korea but Bithumb probably is the best one, especially for foreigners/english speakers. The english support for the other two are ****.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pwep:
Hey friends,

I've been trolling the internet for the past couple of days trying to find a good tutorial on how to root Oreo on the Pixel using Magisk. I have Oreo installed, and I can see that apparently there's a version of Magisk that works on the Pixel, but I can't get Magisk working with Oreo (and never tried with Nougat).

I've found and followed a whole bunch of tutorials and guides to try to get this working (including a couple on this site), but they've all had some combination of slightly different goals, broken links, incomplete or unclear instructions, or reliance on a non-stock image.

Still, I've tried several times to try to patch together a way to use Magisk with Oreo, and unfortunately I have not yet been successful. I've gotten TWRP installed, I've gotten Magisk Manager installed, and I have the SafetyNet checks passing - but Magisk Manager keeps telling me that Magisk isn't installed. I tried to post a screenshot but new users can't post links for a while, so here's a (terrible) textual recreation of the Magisk Manager screen:

(check) | Latest Magisk Version: v13.3

(X) | Magisk is not installed

(X) | Not rooted

(Redo icon) | SafetyNet Check Was Successful

(check) | ctsProfile: true

(check) | basicIntegrity: true

Along with many other tinkering steps. Unfortunately, nothing worked as you can see above. Does anyone here know how to get this setup working?

PS. If it helps, the (approximate) steps I followed this last time were:

- Flash to Oreo Pixel stock image (8.0)

- Install SDK Manager + platform tools + usb drivers on my computer

- Download all of the following, in no particular order:

- twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.1.0-0RC2.zip

- Magisk-v12.0-Pixel.zip, Magisk-v13.3.zip

- ElementalX-P-1.09.zip

- VerifiedBootSigner

- SuperSU v2.82-SR3

- twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img, then move this to the platform-tools folder

- Go into bootloader (power off, power on by holding volume down button + power)

- Go to android-sdk-windows\platform-tools, open an admin command prompt there, enter fastboot devices to make sure my pixel was connected, and enter fastboot boot twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img to boot into TWRP

- Flash the following zips, in order:

- ElementalX

- Magisk

- TWRP

- VerifiedBootSigner

Thanks very much in advance!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sgace:
You can't flash twrp on Oreo only boot it. Don't think bootsigner is needed, but not sure.

Why not use SuperSU?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pwep:
Thanks for the prompt reply! :)

Ahh, that explains why I couldn't get it working except by booting into it. I thought I was doing something wrong or had the wrong image. That's a pain, but good to know.

I wasn't sure about the bootsigner either; I tried it both ways and unfortunately neither worked.

As for why Magisk - mainly because I'd like to pass SafetyNet. I don't believe that's possible with SuperSU?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sgace:
You're welcome.

You can pass using suhide lite I believe. Take a look at the dedicated thread in de Pixel forums.

Good luck.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] redpoodlehead:
You don't need the boot signer on Oreo anymore (yay!). I don't know that Magisk works with Oreo yet, but I know for sure that you can pass SafetyNet with SuperSu and SuHide. Unfortunately, I don't think you can have root and the ElementalX kernel at the same time yet. :( Flashing the kernel kills root, and rooting again kills the kernel...I think some people in the ElementalX Oreo thread of the Pixel forum claimed to have both working, but the majority just couldn't, including myself...I've tried a number of different flashing orders and can't get them both to stick.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Magisk on Oreo works for everyone because their phones have normal partitions.

Pixel has A/B partitions, so the only magisk compatible is the unofficial one, which doesn't work on Oreo for us (sadly).

The developer just got a pixel so the official support should be imminent, we just have to wait a little and then we should be able to use official Magisk on Oreo

P.S: bootsigner was needed only on may patch, every release after the may one doesn't need bootsigner no more, hooray

Do you have busybox? A lot of people just claimed that if you remove busybox then root and kernel works fine also after several reboots
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] redpoodlehead:
I didn't explicitly install it and I don't see any instance of it anywhere, but I'll try flashing the kernel again with a few reboots and see what that does.

EDIT: Found flar2's post suggesting flash order of stock Oreo boot.img, ElementalX, then SuperSU. Success! Root and kernel both stick.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhobiaSoft:
Hey guys, I've been lurking on the XZ5C forums for over a year now, and I've learned so much from this community. I have no problems rooting the phone through Rootkernel, Magisk, and even manually now, and I have you guys to thank for that.

However, with the introduction of the SafetyNet API being injected into more and more apps (Android Pay, Pokemon Go, Netflix, Snapchat) its becoming harder to keep my daily driver rooted. It is very important to me that I pass the SafetyNet check, and my only desire for root is to debloat, and do a bit of Substratum Theming. (Not trying to run Xposed or a custom ROM here.) So for this purpose, a temp root / systemless root would work just fine. The issue has been that in order to install either of these, I've needed a custom recovery, and custom recovery needs a custom kernel - which trips SafetyNet.

Can anyone give me any advice? I've got a clean installation of Marshmallow 32.2.A.5.11, and access to a variety of root management tools. I basically just need someone with a thorough understanding of the SafetyNet API to tell me how to avoid triggering it while the temp root is achieved, or at least, how to pass again after the temp root has been removed.

Right now I'm leaning toward Magisk as my root method, but how can I install it without affecting the stock kernel?

In the meantime, I will also be looking into this method, but I would prefer to be completely unrooted so I am immune to SafetyNet updates in the future as well.

Thanks in advance!

Go to the store and see the full sized image...

Photos by seller, which is true, and same as the real screen protector you can receive. Photos is NOT allowed to be used outside of this thread except you have got the permission from the seller.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] SlyUK:
Do you have the non mobile link kindly ?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] j3r3myp:
Hi,

Looks great and better than any TGSP out there.

Would you help me ship it to France?

Thanks
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Yes, check shipping fee above.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
What non mobile link, the links above can open in Chrome on mobile or PC...
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] iRaymee:
The link to taobao looks really weird on desktop.

Here you go : https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?ft=t&id=548131606285&toSite=main

[MENTION=4590317]j3r3myp[/MENTION] I'm also interested in France, but i'm in Lyon.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] SlyUK:
[MENTION=7573795]iRaymee[/MENTION] Thanks for the link (shall press "Thanks" later).

Which "one(s)" do you select from those that are on offer (so the correct choice(s) are made at checkout) ?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
RMB 82.5 is for 2 5.2A version

I can help you to buy (if you want) since I have more discount...
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] SlyUK:
Thanks for that, I may well get back to you on that in the not to distant future :)
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
You are welcome... The shipping fee to UK is around HKD35-50, I think.

And total cost for three v5.2A protector, 5 bottles of glue, and shipping to your home is around or less than HKD200. For you to compare with other service providers.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] Vixiebalistic:
Hi OP, how much total cost for 1x 5.2A type plus all shipping fee to Indonesia? Your answer and help is highly appreciated.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Around but I think it will around HKD90, I am not sure, it is hard to get exact cost, because need to count the weight.

But I highly recommend you to buy 2-3 at one time. Because you may fail to apply it, and you can get a new one instantly, or just put it at home. If the first is broken, you can apply the second. And buy 2 or more can get discount.

I think it more worth if you buy more. Around 150 for two, 200 for three

This is just suggestion. But how many is decided by you.

And if you can pay before 6PM 31/8/2017 GMT+8, you can save HKD 15, because I can merge your orders with other guys and send to Hong Kong together.

Edit: you can buy more than one because it has discount, and you can resell it in Indonesia the others you bought us useless is enough for you. But you should not rebrand it and copy the design of it, since the seller has spent hours to design for 3T and he is just a small store owner. That seller is the boss, the shop keeper, the screen protector maker.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
I edited my post...
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Sorry, the cost may not less than 200 for 3, but not far from that, it still may less than if you let me to group three screen protectors into one boxes and reduce some useless package. I will tell you more exactly next week.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] rezapatel:
If you're in touch with the seller, pls suggest them to get the product listed on Ali express too. That's way more popular with international customers.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] Vixiebalistic:
+1 buyers will easily make those glass sold out
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Don't want to make it sold out...

Just make it on xda is good, the seller is just a tiny shop, the production is limited...
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] rezapatel:
Don't see a point in not wanting them to sell out. Unless the vendor only wants to ship within China. But then again that's fairly inconvenient for the international buyers.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
I can tell you that if it post it on AliExpress, it will sell out in one week. However, the seller don't want to ship internationally, because the shipping fee is too expensive for the small shop.

Just if you buy a US$8 screen protector, you need to pay US$10 for shipping
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
The v5.2 +for 3T) has sold out, and the seller may not make it again, so I bought some v4, I will test the v4, but not recommend now, because it works on some version of 3T, but not all.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] ignitionnight:
Just got mine today and got it applied, and I am STOKED how well it fits. Finally after over a year of being dissatisfied with literally every single screen protector I bought I wish I would have come here first before I wasted 40-50 dollars on crappy screen protectors. When I put it on I was a little worried I screwed it up because the ring was bigger than I thought, but the glue works wonders and it absolutely disappeared. You need so little of the glue/oil too that even if it doesn't stay forever re-applying it is so easy. Also it works like magic, a tiny dot on a toothpick gets quickly absorbed under the screen... almost like it sucks it in.

Also much like everybody says, [MENTION=7060725]127cwho[/MENTION] is a great dude and is super helpful and nice. EDIT: also if you do order from him, tip him some extra. Just because he says he doesn't want to make a cent off this doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] a0b1c2:
Bummer about v5.2 being sold out. The original protector on my 3T needs replacing. I can't wait to read how v4 works with 3T.

Thx!

-pablo
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] galaxykeks:
just saw this thread for the first time. i'd be interested also in 2-3 screen protectors.

any news on which version is available and good?

i main rant is, that it takes 1-2 months to have enough dust under the screen protector, that you have to change it.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Dude, both v4 and v5.2 won't have dust go inside, it sticks on the whole screen, so no dust can go inside after you install it. but the v4 cannot works on all OnePlus 3/3T, so not on my recommend list, and v5.2 is currently sold out. I will keep searching good screen protectors for OnePlus 3/3T, but currently can't find any screen protector that is great.

Update: I has 5 spare v5.2 for myself, maybe I will sell it a few months later, if I decide to buy a new device.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] galaxykeks:
Thanks man. I was hoping that the manufacturer maybe had decided to produce more ;)

Well in any case, your info/ feedback will be very much appreciated.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] moSess:
These protectors are great! I forgot to post photos. Will do very soon. I'm so happy I got them when I did! They really completed the phone for a slightly OCD guy like myself.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Update, the seller will sell v5.2 again, not in Taobao and publicly available, because only has a small amount of v5.2.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] BlackLine7:
I'm interested in buying 2x v5.2. Send me a message when they're available.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] flatwave:
I would be interested in 2x5.2, please PM me when they become available. Thanks.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] nasrulafi93:
Interested in buying 5pcs and ships to Malaysia. PM me for quotation and details
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Update, the seller will make some new version later, and ask for advices~
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] SlyUK:
Do you think its possible to make for the OnePlus 6 at some point after its release (no rush for this of course, but quality is very good compared with virtually everything else) ?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
I chatted with the seller, he said he will make for OnePlus 6. Actually he has make for all iPhone, OnePlus and Samsung flagship.

And he is willing to update for OP3 too... and he wants to have some reviews and opinions for him to improve it

Update:

The seller will improve the v5.2

1. Slightly increase the gap between the home button and the screen protectors, so it can be smoother and more comfortable when pressing the home button

2. Improve the coating of the screen protectors to reduce to fingerprint stick on it and more it smoother (but I don't think it need to improve because it may rise cost if doing it and it is already very nice)

3. A new glue, so u can apply it every 3 weeks, instead of 1-2 weeks now.

But it will take a take some time to make it, don't expect it will come out in a short period.

Up-update:

The new glue is finished.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] SlyUK:
Thats absolutely fantastic news. I'm sure many many people will be interested too :)
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] gabriel_hart:
That's great news. Keep us posted (as I know you will)... I'd love to try them.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] musichem:
Definitely interested in 2x5.2 or new improved model as soon as possible. Please keep us updated. Thanks!
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] sr.arenisca:
I'm interested in the new screen protector too open me dm or reach me on Telegram at [MENTION=7762376]Srsan[/MENTION]ds for disclosing a sale :)
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] 127cwho:
Ok, but it is not ready yet, the new glue is done, but the screen protectors itself need more time.

Update: if anyone want more glue, pm me, the shipping fee is HK$10, each bottle of glue is HK$2, but you need to wait for someone buy with you, so it can ship from the seller together to save some fee.

If you want to buy yourself, u need another HK$20 shipping fee.
