Hi everyone!

I was planning on getting the Note 8, and wanted to see how the UI / stock apps handle a custom LCD density using ADB. So because the S+ is so close to the Note 8 in size, I thought this would be my best indication on how TW / SE handles a custom LCD density.

I find that the "Display Size" settings in Display dont shrink things down quite enough for me. To give you an idea, I set my OnePlus 3T's density to 289, from stock 480.

I wanted to know what the lowest number you could set the LCD density using the "adb shell wm density xxx" before the keyboard / chrome kick into "tablet mode" where it shows tabs and the keyboard changes to the strange tablet mode.

Could someone please change their LCD density real quick and show me a few screens of the dialer, settings, and random screens? I would greatly appreciate it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xDMONEYx:
You can just change the density at a granular level in the OS on the fly by enabling Developer Options and changing the Minimum Width value under the Drawing section. The higher the value, the smaller the the content on your display will be. I have mine set at 490 dp.

I switched between a few ROMs but now I'm getting the issues "CSC code unknown, no device root key, no ENG binary".

Meanwhile the TWRP restore isn't fully working either as it will work but gives constant messages about "unknown partition" or something and "partition not found".

Any ideas?

I have ASUS R600, and I have a lot of maps in *.fbl format - but Asus can't use all that maps. As I understand, I have cracket Asus - not maps.

My last upgrade - R600-ASUS-RU-RU-R102-0-V4.3.0

That is the reason i go to crack this expensive unit.

lot of money but no support for maps.

more than 7 guards not to give you access to "residentflesh", even in new rom file and way to reflashing they use, and special checksum for IGO directory etc.. etc.., even system registry is in ram and when switch of all new software is gone, but there is some way to make it useful.

after my work i can use every map and can install games and other soft

I solve yesterday night my issu in the folowing way:

Icanged ASUS_UserFlash Copy with the folowing:

With this I Make 2 thinks: Do not compare license.db from device with the version from card..... (I created on card a folder: com \igo\ where i put licence.db (the same as the one from predl\igo licence.db

Also I creata new forlder PreDC where I put my apliaction needen to transf in the device. Even If I received check sum error, I take out card and rested ....and the content of predc is on palm.....

As the "Nvigation" buton is linked to exe file (from device) igo\igopna.exe you need to take in cons to rename the folder and exe. (if you want to put something else)

I found that version MioMap 3.3 is ok with the device and I have now Florida map working :)...and also all european countries

Anyhow thanks a lot to you, I will test also your version who is more profesional than mine.

Can someone fix this crack to work with the Australian Version?

At present the crack is for

The Australian version is known as

I'm pretty sure that just renaming the file wont help, and at present, you cannot cross patch versions.

Do you use S8 stock keybaord or SwiftKey or Gboard? if you use different keyboard can you give reason ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] razvantobx1:
Stock keyboard is very very good..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hussainmushahid:
I've always been a gboard user however it doesnt sync dictionary data if you have secure folder installed. This forced me to switch to swiftkey. In the start it felt horrible to me but I've grown accustomed to it and can't even think of switching to another keyboard now! Its amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] umbrokhan:
same here had the same problem with Gboard sync dictionary data can't get it save my data. Swiftkey is more easy to save your data
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PhallusOfGod:
Just another friendly SwiftKey user here. I like the thumb layout and the predictions are spot on. I will never switch from SwiftKey..... ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bravo_alpha1:
I used swiftkey for a year...then switched to Gboard when the S7 came out. Just recently I switched back to swiftkey on my S8. Both are pretty good but I think the predictions are slightly better using swiftkey.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
I am using SwiftKey and the answer is simple - better predictions! I mostly type in another language and it learns my typing pattern much better than Gboard. I can't really use Samsung's keyboard as it doesn't recognize a lot of words and they remain uncorrected.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] llaugerm:
How's voice dictation with swiftkey? Is it accurate? Because I use Gboard because it's great for texting in two languages at the same time. I use English and Spanish simultaneously. .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LookAlive:
I've always used google for just about anything. Their vault of metadata is probably enough to make an exact replica of me.

Anyway, I used Gboard. the samsung keyboard annoyed me with it's poor suggestions - and the fact it wouldn't auto space for google searches in the browser (I'm sure there's a setting somewhere I didn't bother looking for) was awful. I tried swift, but Gboard is fantastic. Plus my nerdy coworkers (dev here) thoroughly enjoy m(or secretly hate) the massive amounts of easily searchable gifs I can send from gboard easily.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] UmarBurney:
I use Swiftkey as my primary keyboard as I'm so used to the Urdu layout. I also use Gboard sometimes when I have to write something through voice. It also gives me the ability to speak in Urdu language, and it types in urdu.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7998465:
Alright, so I am not the only one to face the auto spacing issue. Doesn't auto space on chrome, so I tried their stock browser, doesn't work there either.

Even though, in the settings I have set it to auto spacing.

I was using Gboard for the past 2-3 years, but now I am trying to get use to everything samsung stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Oblox:
Swiftkey, I switched to Gboard for a while but eventually found that Swiftkey was just far better at predictions. Gboard has improved a lot but still not there yet.

Do you use S8 Samsung experience or different launcher? if you use different launcher, which one? and why?

I've always used Nova. Has way more customization settings and I can mix and match different icon packs. The stock galaxy launcher just doesn't compete.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] davebugyi:
It looks like I am getting older, as on the S8 I do not use Nova, which I used since the days of HTC Sensation.

Using nova, love it. Can do a few of the things i lost without root & xposed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] snaske65:
Use nova now as with a few others my delete shorcut button when you hold your finger on an icon had stopped working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rohorubo:
Using Nova on every smartphone. Stock ones doesn't fit my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ikbenben201:
I use Nova also. Stock launchers have too little options to customize.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thenessus:
I like stock. It has some functionality that Nova doesnt have (like multiple app cards even if they are not full, i.e. you can have a an app card for just one app if u want.) and ability to move any app icon anywhere. Nova is alphabetical only, and forces you to have folders at the very top.

I still use nova though.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jpcdeux:
Pixel Launcher or TouchWiz
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Vesnik:
Is this modded TouchWiz for root only?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] domsch1988:
I don't think you have a clue what Nova can actually do. Looks are deceiving. It still is one of the most powerful feature wise.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Muphet:
except you can easily remap gestures on the screen (with prime), customize notification labels (tesla), completely change look and feel of homescreen/app drawer/dock, add multiple dock pages, change margins, persistant search bar, overlap widgets, add folders to app drawer, stick dock to the top, backup settings and import on different devices. did i forgot something?

i think you are right, theres no reason for it to be popular, it's like a stock launcher.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Cexitime:
Hi all,

I have asked this on the miui forums but no one was unable to assist,

I was updating my phone to the MIUI version that contained the new Android OS, and my stupid cat pulled the cable, causing the phone to unplug during flashing procedure, big no no

Firstly the phone would would just flash red which I believe was EDL mode, so I was able to after several goes reflash the chinese variant of MIUI rom onto the phone.

it would then be stuck on the MI screen, so I reflashed again and it started to proceed with the initial setup

However every couple of seconds the phone would crash, restart, get a bit further, crash and repeat till it finished the initial setup, this is where the device is today

I managed to flash twrp to see if there was anything I could do, I noticed it was complaining that /persist was missing/unable to process, I tried to reflash /persist using the online guides available but all of them ended up as the same result of "could not be flashed to device"

My bootloader is unlocked as confirmed by offical Xiaomi unlocker tool,

so I am stuck with a phone that bootloops and has no /persist, is there any hope for this device?

I am located in Australia so sending it to a service centre will not be an easy process if I can even get the seller to do so (dx.com)

Thanks for reading

Hoping that it may help you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] bpodnar:
Try to flash some custom rom through custom recovery and see if it works. I think your device isnt bricked because I've done the same when I realised that clean all and lock was ticked so I just unplug the cable in the middle of the flash process and flash the ROM again. Go to recovery and wipe all Dalvik, system and cache and then flash custom ROM and gapps. After that go and flash official rom through mi flash tool from fastboot.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
Try this way:

first go here and download "Redmi Note 4X ( (3GB+32GB) Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download";

then follow this guide but only the PART II (the guide is for locked bootloader, but it doesn't matter on our case, because on mido you must have an unlocked bootloader to enter EDL).

The guide will modify some text file to flash only the persist.img, but if need you can flash all the firmware's files (but remember to insert the "persist.img" in the bat file, because it's not present by default). You will got a Chinese language phone (I don't know if English is present) but you can test if everything works and then re-flash a Global ROM or a custom ROM.

The summary of the procedure is flashing the China Developer ROM (including the persist.img) with MiFlash when the phone is in EDL mode (RN4 can be put in EDL mode with this tool but only if bootloader is unlocked).

Let us know if this works for you.
