[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
I have no proof of this, but this has been happening on my Note 4 (SM-N910T) ever since v13.3, and now on v14.0. I also bought a Huawei Honor 6X about a week ago, it's now happening there too. I didn't feel that this was worth posting about, figuring it might be device-specific or ROM-specific. But now that it's happening on 2 devices I've changed my mind.

Note 4:

Android 7.1.2 (CMRemix)

Xposed unofficial by PurifyOS (system mode)

Kernel sets SELinux to permissive on boot

Magisk v14.0

No Magisk modules installed

Honor 6X:

Android 7.1.2 (Resurrection Remix)

Xposed (systemless Magisk version)

Kernel sets SELinux to permissive on boot

Magisk v14.0

No Magisk modules installed

Description of the issue:

After powering on/rebooting, I can't open system Settings app for up to a minute or so. It just hangs on a white screen. It then either gives a message stating that Settings isn't responding, or, if I manually close Settings with the Recent button then try to reopen it, it repeats the same behavior but will eventually open. Sometimes I need to access Settings immediately after boot to make changes. Device is otherwise responsive, Magisk appears to work fine.

I have tried clean ROM installs on both devices, with full wipes beforehand, and latest stable Magisk. I've also tried with and without Xposed, results are the same. This didn't happen before v13.3, v11.x and v12.x didn't exhibit this behavior. But back this I was using systemless SuperSU in conjunction with Magisk. I suspect that MagiskSU may be the culprit.

MagiskSU is also noticeably slower (when compared to SuperSU or non-Magisk Phh's Superuser) at responding to SU requests, even with a setting of auto-grant and the lowest possible timeout (10 seconds), and global mount namespace. This may be due to the fact that does more than just rooting, it is logical to assume that it has more background processes running since it is also a systemless framework, whereas the other 2 solutions only manage root access.

Last, my file managers oftentimes won't let me delete/modify certain files/folders in the system partition, with a message like "device or resource busy", or flat-out denying access. System is remounted as RW. This only happens with Magisk, but never with SuperSU or Phh. I do use Magisk for systemless mods, but sometimes I want to make direct midifications to /system. Magisk, as a root solution, shouldn't be denying my ability to do this, since I own my devices, not Magisk.

Right now I'm primarily concerned with the Settings issue, but I figured the other issues are worth mentioning. I'm still on the fence, I may return to SuperSU, or Phh, trying Magisk again after a few more stable releases. But if this can be resolved then I'll give it another chance.

I'm posting the logs for my Honor 6X, one is the Magisk log from /cache, the other is /data/anr/traces.txt. Attempts to get a logcat during boot were unsuccessful.

Thanks for any help!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Magisk saves a log during boot that you might find useful. It's /data/magisk_debug.log. A logcat from when the device has booted up and you're trying to open up the Settings might also be interesting.

Have you tried on a stock ROM? Both those ROMs you're using are related and may have similar ROM specific issues...
[Magisk] 24imelqui:
dont open setting immediately after reboot. open it after a minute. not really a problem
[Magisk] iPusak Gaoq™:
It is not Magisk problem that cause this problem but it is the rom...i'm also using RR 7.1.2 on bacon and Magisk v14 and have no problem at all but we bacon user does encountered this problem in RR build in July and the devs fixed this on August build....
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: I've been super busy lately, not much time to post anywhere. But getting back to this.....I doubt this is a ROM issue. My reasoning is that it would occur with or without Magisk if that were the case. I don't get this issue when using SuperSU or non-Magisk Phh Superuser (regular). This only occurs when Magisk is installed, since v13.3, but not before that version. It has also occurred on Huawei stock EMUI firmware.

[MENTION=7232334]24imelqui[/MENTION]: Just because you don't consider something to be a problem doesn't mean it isn't a problem for others. I have a need to be able to access my Settings app immediately after booting. Your comment isn't useful in the least, if you can't post something helpful then don't post at all. /Ignored.....

[MENTION=4556013]iPusak Gaoq™[/MENTION]: isn't Bacon a Nexus device (not sure, never owned one)? Can you reference something where this has been reported? And fixed? Like something on XDA or GitHub or whatever? If this can be proven to be ROM issue then I'll post something to my devices' devs to see if it can be fixed in later releases.

I'm attaching several logs, this time a logcat as well. No such debug log exists in /data, and Magisk v14.0 has no options in the Manager app for debug logging.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
There have been issues previously, where it seems like it's a Magisk thing but it's really a ROM issue. Some things Magisk does (and it does a few more things than just root your device) can sometimes bring problems out into the light... :D

I believe bacon refers to the OnePlus One (Nexus devices are all named after aquatic creatures). Looking in the RR thread over in those forums I'd guess you'll find your information somewhere around here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/d...tion-remix-t3507102/post73283623#post73283623

About your logs: I'm not too good at reading logcats, so no help from me there. But, I see something there in your Magisk log... Have you tried disabling Xposed?

There are things going on when a device with Magisk starts, so depending on your setup it might take a short while (30-ish seconds for me on my daily driver) before root requests start being accepted. If the ROM settings require root, that might be the reason why it won't open straight away when booting up your device.
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
OK, back again, Xposed disabled this time in the app (but still installed), so not active.
[Magisk] iPusak Gaoq™:
Here is the full changelog on the build where the devs fixed the issues on settings freeze/fc on startup....

Hello everyone, so i was wondering why I am still stuck with BLN-L21C185B361 and my device shows me that its the latest official version. But i see on the forums many people have received a recent update. Any BLN-L21 users please share what is your latest version and which country. Thank you

I use it for writing down lists for groceries and for grabbing screen shots etc

I use mine to draw and sketch a lot.

It's the main reason I've only had the note series for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeandlara:

Pen? This thing has a pen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] willcor:
when i first got a Note device ,

way back ....Note 2 and then Note 3 and Note 4 ,

i hardly used the S pen .

Started seeing the value /ease, to do something on my Note 5 .

Really missed my Spen on my S8 + .

Yes, i use S pen a lot now .

Apart from notes etc .

I use Spen for my Klwp theming ,where i found that the navbar gets in my way,

when doing precise value selections etc .

(Navbar either visible or hidden ).

I also sometimes uses it to preview a link or general scrolling .

Also sometimes when using keyboard .

It's just faster than i can type ,with my "dumb" fingers .!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mandog202:
I'm an artist and the pen is specifically why I buy the note phones. While I do all my major work on an ipad pro and desktop, the notes are my go everywhere sketch pad, pretty much everything I draw starts as a rough sketch on the note.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
I use the pen to make quick notes at the meetings, shopping lists at home, any time I need to make quick note. I used to use pieces of paper, which usually would get misplaced, then had to look for it, no more. My kids love to draw on my phone as well. Probably use my phone more often with pen, than without it. It's like a mouse on my computer. I feel like dedicated iphone user, only couple models to choose from and high prize to pay. I tried other (without spen) phones, but it doesn't work for me at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SteelPicori:
The pen is very useful, other than the taking quick notes (much faster than virtual keyboard) the most useful thing about it is signing PDF documents, i can pretty much fill out a PDF, sign it and then print to PDF (so no one messes with the signature) without the need to print and scan and much faster. Can do the same for paper forms using Office Lens or Scanbot. Also Microsoft's Remote Desktop client beta version works wonderfully with the s-Pen if you want the portability of a smartphone but the full power of a desktop that's a great go to.

Edit: also anyone looking for a spare s-Pen should look at the s-Pen that came with the galaxy tablet S3, it's a more robust pen, bigger, feels better in the hand and the button works better. Only downsides are it does not store inside the phone and it's not waterproof.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
I use my Spen everyday. It's nice to use it to go through your phone. Then not to mention the best part copy and paste anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I'm new to the Note universe so I have not used the S Pen much....yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] w8wca:
I use my S-Pen a good bit - as in at least a few times a day

Notes for both work and home.

Sometimes to mark up a photo to send someone.

I set up to have S-Notes back - so I can make a quick note and have a reminder

Used my trusty old Note 4 for a good while - it is still going strong!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
I have the Tab S3 so i sync notes between devices. I make notes every day. I make a note on my Note8 to make sure i don't forget ideas and plans. Very important in business. Writing notes helps me remember information. I use OneNote and Samsung Notes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SteelPicori:
OneNote is indispensable, the ability to sync notes between the Tab S3, Note 8 and PC (laptop and desktop) makes it essential, and that's not bringing in the ability to share your notebooks with others. The fact that the desktop app is free and has OCR ability makes it a no brainer. Also Office Lens will scan direct to your OneNote too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ljg600:
The S Pen is far from essential- but in addition to its "unique" capabilities- I just like using it instead of touch when I can. It seems more precise and if I daresay hygenic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
I would not pay 1,020.00€ for a "Novelty". I already spent near that when the SGS8+ came out.

For me the Note S-pen is the reason I buy......'the Note'..... Its more than a pen its a mouse. I like the hover part when placed over an email or document and it gives you information about the content without opening the mail or document. I can wizz through my emails only opening ones I need to reply to in a hurry. There is so much more to the S-pen.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slie:

When I had my Note 5 I would use it to jot down random ideas. Also it's really great for meetings. I can write down and organize my notes. Plus it's convenient when used with certain apps. You can hover to see additional content. I've used Evernote and the Galaxy Memo app in place of it but it's not the same ☹️
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] d.cortez:
ditto, i use it to sign contracts and other documents in my line of work. also use it to draw on screenshots of software/hardware diagrams prepared using PowerPoint. i'm always writing on pictures shared with friends and i use it for SNote Action Memos, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SiNJiN76:
For Mouse Over Actions...that just one...it's awesome. Plus, no fingerprints on the screen. Once you get used to it...you'll find that you may prefer to use it to navigate through the phone with it.

There's 3 ways. What above mentions hoverin over the text box and letting icon appear.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Then there's this way. Hold down the Mic button to bring up the menu shortcut and select it. It will always stay there after you select it. You can always change it to another by hoolding it down.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Last but not least you can go into keyboard settings and as long as the s pen is out of the silo it will open up handwriting to text keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fusius:
Just in case the OP meant something different, here's how you can access the "handwritting recognition" from within Samsung Notes. Go into "Samsung Notes" and either open an existing note or create a new one. If you open an existing note, click on "Edit" option (see screen shot)

and you will get a screen like the following

If you click on the "abc Pen" button, you'll get the menu options on the bottom of the screen that will have a pen, an eraser, a "selection tool" (this is the one you want), undo, redo, easy writing pad. With the selection tool selected, draw a perimeter around the text you want recognized , click on the 3 vertical dots that follow the "Cut, Copy, Delete" popup menu and select "Extract Text". You should see something that looks like the following:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jejb:
Do you have a simpler method to convert handwriting to text from a note written out on the lock screen? If so, please share.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fusius:
Any note written on the lock screen can be brought up in Samsung Notes. There used to be a way to do handwriting recognition whenever you use the pen, but I think that was a feature of the SNote app that they don't have pre- installed. You can sideload it though. I believe there are posts in this forum to download the app. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jobird:
Don’t really know about the Samsung special feature, but there are some websites with the help of which you can also convert your handwritten notes to text and then check it for grammar and punctuation. The guys here recommended the app, but it can be not very useful, if you use it for once or need to convert not just notes, but a page or more and when you write by hand on the paper, but not on the screen of your smartphone. Also it is a great advantage, that it recognizes the text clearly and converts it correctly, I think, it is the most important feature.

i'm hoping to test it out too..

currently i'm using plantronics 590A.. pretty awesome sound too. works well with my HTC Touch too.
[General Accessories] RojasTKD:
1. SRS WOW HD technology (better sound ."3D" sound).

2. Better sweat/water resistence.

3. New covered buttons (easier to use sweat should not affect them).

4. Improved noise isolation (better at makeing and receiving phone calls).

5. I think it has a longer run time (not 100% sure.

6. Improved BT reception (less interfearence).

7. New ear buds (better seal aginst background noise).

8. There NOT red (ok, not a big deal. Flash just isn't my style).

I ordered the S9 before I saw the S9-HD where out. Just ordered that too. So I'll have them both in a few days. We'll see how it goes.

Anyone with real life expierence with the S9-HD?
[General Accessories] Wam7:
Be sure to report how the HD compared and if they're really better in voice calls. I have the original S9's and had to buy a separate BT headset just for voice calls as I couldn't take the complaints from other callers about them hearing everything in the background apart from my voice.
[General Accessories] RojasTKD:
The S9-HD should arrive in a day or two. I'll let you know how call work out.

I just got in the S9's I ordered before I know the S9-HD's where out and ordered those too.

I have to say the call quality is better than I expected from the S9's. Not as good as my regular BT headset (jawbone 2), butso far they seem to work fin inside my house. Even when sitting in front of the computer with the TV tuner running at normal or a little above normal listening level. I'm sure our side it would not work quite as well, but have yet to even try. My Jawbone will stay my everyday BT headset. The S9 and S9-HD will be for music and workouts/running.

I'll compare with the S9-HD's as soon as I get my hands on them (tomorrow, if I'm lucky... If not by MOnday for sure).
