You can try RR unofficial with Blu Spark Kernel. It has an fully working OOS Stock Cam and comes with YouTube Adaway and background player. Also i get 9 hours SOT with the default kernel profile and no heavy multitasking. Or wait for an unreleased ROM, can't say the name yet, cause it's in an Testing Phase.:highfive:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
What kind of battery life are you currently getting? Are you running stock OOS with the stock kernel? Switching to a custom ROM to improve battery life seems extreme if you haven't explored any options on your current ROM to improve battery life first. Are you trying to improve SOT? Reduce idle drain? Both?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GroovyGeek:
Yeah, install EX kernel, significantly under-volt and under-frequency it, and install one of these super aggressive EX profiles that put half your cores to sleep. The delete all apps you don't use, particularly system apps, and Greenify everything else, turn off push notifications and location services, and turn down screen brightness to a minimum. While you are at it lock the phone in a volt to keep you from turning on the screen. You will get great battery life alright, but you may not like using the phone :banghead:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I'm running Pure Fusion with blu spark and am getting nearly 9hrs SOT

Great ROM and kernel combo imo :)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] j9murphy:
I would like to upgrade my ROM to use GPS, but most of the ROMS here seem to have a lot of other "upgrades", some of which can cause functioanlity and stability issues. While these kinks get worked out, I was wondering what the most stable ROM is (for Verizon) which would give me GPS functionality. What's the most stable way (without all the new addons) that would give me GPS (for the verizon 6800)?

(I know another user has the same problem)

I received my Note8 (SM-N950F/DS) earlier today (18 September 2017), and was happy to install my custom Comic Neue font package that I created in iFont over on my Galaxy Tab A, but ran into a roadblock. (I actually have a custom "stock Android" theme on mine, which does theme the navbar)

View attachment 4275907

It seems that, SE Settings is able to preview the font, but will refuse to apply it! I tried using both iFont (paid) and HiFont (free), but both of those apps fail to apply the font!

Either Samsung and/or Monotype may have upped the font security a second time.

(they did it the first time with TouchWiz 7.0 (Android 6.x, Galaxy S7/Note7))

All the fonts I've seen in Galaxy Apps are paid fonts, which makes sense because Monotype is a company, and the font I want to use is Comic Neue, which is licensed under an open/free licence.

Presumably, Samsung is trying to block all these 3rd-party apps because they (and/or Monotype) want to make money with the paid fonts.

Hopefully the iFont and/or HiFont developers are able to patch their apps respectively..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kris Nelson:
Yup.. Samsung is only allowing fonts from Monotype Imaging Inc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dallen5:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Al Asmi:
iFont didn't work for me. It didn't change the font everywhere in the device.

I used the 1060 fonts zip file available in the forums and copied SamsungSans folder to System/app, fixed permissions for the apk and now have all the fonts in System/settings/disply/screen zoom and fonts, and all seem to work fine for me.

This is a flashable zip but I did it manually.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dallen5:
How you did that without a rooted phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Al Asmi:
I didn't say I did it without root. It's rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbhasi:
I actually don't want to root because I don't want to lose access to Samsung Pay and device warranty.

I'll only really want to root if there is some LineageOS or OxygenOS build that preserves most, if not all, Galaxy Note features, but with the stock Android UX and emoji.

However, I used "APK Backup Lite" to extract whatever I could of any known FlipFont packages preloaded on my Note8, including a "Samsung Sans" package I downloaded from Galaxy Apps, and while looking through the APK contents and AndroidManifest files, I made some interesting discoveries.

View attachment 4284765

Top left: Contents of "Foundation" package preloaded on my Note8, which appears to be what provides the "Gothic Bold" option

Top middle: A portion of the aforementioned package's AndroidManifest.xml, with the "Package Name" highlighted.

Top right: Contents of the free "Samsung Sans" package from Galaxy Apps, which works on my Note8.

Bottom left: Contents of the Comic Neue font package I created using iFont, which works on my Tab A (TW 7.x Essence, Android 6.0.1), but not my Note8 (SE 8.5, Android 7.1.2).

Bottom middle: A portion of the aforementioned package's AndroidManifest.xml, with the "Package Name" highlighted. It's exactly the same as the "Foundation" package, but it lacks the "SEC-INF" files that the one from my Note8 has.

Bottom right: Contents of the Comic Neue font package I created using HiFont, which works but only on versions of TouchWiz older than 6.x. I didn't feel like showing its AndroidManifest, but its package name is different.

It seems that because the "Foundation" package is already installed, iFont can't replace it, even if the installed package is disabled.

I have tried disabling the Foundation package within Android itself, but that does not work. I don't know if any of the 3rd party package disablers (the ones that can disable Bixby) can also disable the Foundation package, allowing the custom font packages to install successfully.

Yes, that is Comic Neue set as the UI font on my laptop, and yes, it is running some version of Linux (KDE Neon to be more specific). I currently lack the courage to try to see if I can fool FlipFont using a custom package created in Android Studio, using files from working packages.

(rant ahead)

I did hear news about some company data breaches a while back, and kinda wish the hackers responsible for that could just hack into Monotype's systems and steal their Android app signing certificate and the associated password for that, or even just steal the entire FlipFont for Android source code repository with the certificates and passwords.

Either that, or I could try starting a petition targeted towards both Monotype and Samsung, to add a way to install custom font files, as long as they are free fonts (licensed under the SIL Open Font Licence or similar licences), by first scanning the font files for certain metadata and digital signatures.

However, I doubt that would be successful, seeing how some parts of Disney doesn't seem to be able to respond to petitions just yet.

(end of rant)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
These are the ones you have to pay for from Samsung, That's why they work/Samsung does not block them from being used. Samsung thinks you have paid for them yourself. I didn't think it was allowed on XDA however renaming a file is good enough to fend off the warez mods :confused:

p.s looks like they did originate from XDA but were just renamed / put in a different folder. A user in this thread has linked to the same files.

You can however get fonts to install. There was a thread over on the S8+ forum of guys pulling fonts from different places and converting them to mono.

I have a pretty good list of them saved here.

And here

Links removed by mod as they are warez of paid fonts.

It should give you at least a few decent options for fonts.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
If I see any more paid fonts in this thread I will close it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbhasi:
Yeah. I'm trying to set a free font as the UI font on my device. Not a paid font.

Anyways, I tried using "APK Editor" (mentioned in another thread) to try modding the Samsung Sans font package, and I was unsuccessful. At least with the app's "Testkey". I would upload a screenshot, but I'm on mobile web now. I'll upload the screenshot later. If anyone wants, I can post that modification attempt here.

I'm wondering if someone ends up coming up with an "overlay" package that overlays different TTF files over one of the preloaded fonts, or if disabling the "Foundation" package using a 3rd-party package disabler will allow me to install a 3rd party package with the same identifier.

Of course, I do still feel like I may want to start a petition to try to get Samsung to allow free fonts as UI fonts on their devices, AND allow their users to switch to the stock Android emoji font. However, I don't know how I would deliver such a petition to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Change.org is a good petition starter
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbhasi:
Actually, I already knew that, because of my favourite TV show, which I wish hadn't been cancelled.

The problem for me is with listing the contacts

. If you see that petition, there is a small list of contacts, under the "This petition will be delivered to:" section. I'll try to do some web searches when I have the time. Hmm, maybe I could search LinkedIn or Facebook, even though I don't have an account on the former.

Even then, I'll probably start drafting the petition on Evernote first, and I already have an idea for what I would want to use for the lead image.

The screenshot from the first post in this thread, but edited onto a stock (or marketing) photo of the Note8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbhasi:
As I draft the petition, I came up with an idea: What if we could use Substratum to trick the FlipFont system?

By that, I mean we could first install

and

enable the free Samsung Sans font package, then once that font is set, a Substratum overlay that only "skins" that font package could be installed and activated, after which the device would be restarted (most likely a full restart at that), however, a predicted downside would be that the Substratum overlay would need to be uninstalled before changing to a different font, but an upside would be that we theoretically don't need to disable Samsung Themes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
ok lets get the thread back on topic
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbhasi:
I'm pretty sure that's what I tried to do.

Anyways, I have created an Android logcat file while doing a few actions related to the whole situation. I can't exactly remember what I did because I created the file 4 days ago and had been busy lately with personal stuff.

Changed font to a font that i know does work (it was Samsung Sans from what i remember)

Changed back to the default UI font

Tried to use a font package created in either iFont or HiFont

Same thing, but with a different font package of the same font.

I created that file because I was wondering if there was a way to force the font setting using ADB, however, the file doesn't seem to contain anything useful that I can understand. However, I could still post the 7.5 MB file here if anyone wants, though it may cause some text editors to crash.

Even then, I am still trying to find time to see if using Substratum + "Sungstratum" will allow me to bypass the font verification process.

On the other hand, I am still drafting the petition, and if anyone wants to see the draft as I work on it, just DM me for the link, and changes can be suggested.

It seems that Samsung recently pushed an update to upgrade the Galaxy Tab A (2015 models) (like the SM-P355 I have) to Samsung Experience 8.5 (but it's still a "light" version), but am declining that update because I don't want to lose the ability to use free fonts there.

EDIT: I feel like spinning this off into a new thread.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tipsek:
FOUND A SOLUTION!!!

So to summarize, my Huawei Mate 9 couldn't find my smartband Xiaomi Mi Band 2 under BT settings, for the purpose of using the band as a Smart Unlock device. After trying many things I found a solution that worked for me!! Try to follow these steps hopefully they help you to connect your Mi Band 2 with your Mate 9 too!

My starting point was band normally connected to my phone via Mi Band Master app, but undiscoverable under BT settings. This is what I did to fix it:

Turn BT OFF, Turn WIFI OFF.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> More -> Show system proccesses and find Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth MIDI Service apps

Force stop and Storage -> Clear Data on both

Turn BT ON (keep WIFI OFF!!) and search for devices... if you're lucky Mi Band 2 will now show up!!! Try to connect. My first attempt failed, so next:

Turn BT OFF. Turn it back ON after few seconds

Open BLE Scanner app. When it finds the band, connect. When connected quickly:

Open BT settings again, search devices, when finds Mi Band 2, quickly connect and... BOOM!!

With some luck you should now be able to set Mi Band 2 as Smart Unlock device under Settings -> Screen lock & passwords -> Smart Unlock

Hope this helps, it helped me!

This is the original post I made:

Hello, I'm having trouble with my Mate 9 Bluetooth.

First of all, Bluetooth works, and my smartband Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is connected to my Mate 9 and it works fine.

However my problem is, I can't use the band for Smart Unlock feature, which worked perfectly on my previous phone (Huawei Nexus 6P).

The problem is, phone's bluetooth cant find the band. The band is connected and working via an app (Mi Band Master) and I can also without problems find it in BLE Scanner and connect to it... BUT, via normal phone bluetooth search screen, it doesnt find it. I enabled "Band is visible to other devices" in the app - which is something similar as "make device discoverable to BT devices" for devices using LE bluetooth.

My previous phone Huawei Nexus 6P had no problem finding the band in regukar BT settings search, and connecting to it, which is a pre-requisite for Smart Unlock.

Any ideas, what I can try, or someone with Mate 9 and Mi Band 2 that has successfully enabled Smart Unlock? I tried the usual resets, clearing cache (BT), enable/disable BT, reinstalling apps etc...

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] audioralf:
I use a garmin smartwatch and it requires a special app to initiate the correct bt connection. Then it requires 5 number code to connect. Can you set the band visible manually?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tipsek:
It's not like that with this band. I can say how it was on previous phone, Huawei Nexus 6P: band was visible normally under bt settings, and could be paired/connected easily - no PIN or anything required. After that, it was available in Smart Unlock and worked great. But now on Mate 9, while the band is connected to phone via BT, it's not done in the regular BT settings but over an app that works with this band. In my case this is te Mi Band Master app, but there are other apps for this band - Mi Fit, Notify & Fitness, Mi Band Tools etc... The problem is that band is not visible under regular phone BT settings. Mate 9 doesn't find it. You can set the band "visible to other devices" on/off via the app, I tried both but no difference. Maybe default BT settings on Mate 9 only search "regular" BT devices, and not BT LE (low energy) devices?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tipsek:
WOW I just solved this issue! Updating first post with my solution!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
Thanks mate, your solution works!

Now another nag: if I lock the phone with Nova action it asks the PIN to unlock, even if the band is connected. This happens only with Nova lock, while using the power button make the unlock work seamlessly.

Any advice on how to quickly lock the device without having to input PIN to unlock?

Edit: nevermind, found a solution already. In Nova settings set the double-tap action to Activity > Screen lock.
