[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonFire1024:
I have an S7 Unlocked US model. There's no 'carrier' bloatware thank god. But I am pretty sure Samsung makes up for it by adding their own. Before I ran three debloat scripts on this thing, there were about 325 apps installed on it. I would HATE to see the additional amount of crap a carrier would add to that.

So after flashing the three scripts, I got down to about 150 (include my apps probably about 165). That's beyond absurd and this type of 'bloat' should be illegal. Samsung, among the other manufacturers and carriers, are literally scamming everyone out of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by doing this. I have a Motorola Droid Razr M XT907 (Verizon) originally running KitKat. It's been rooted forever. I recently paid Sunshine to unlock the bootloader and I flashed Lineage 13 to it (Marshmallow). It's manufacturer date was 2014. Life span of 1 1/2 years max. I increased it by 5 more at least. If this thing can handle even Nougat (tried that too), then this S7 can run a nuclear generator, but won't because of the crap on it. Bottom line: If they ever say you need a new phone because it's slow, they're scamming you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonFire1024:
Here's my settlement after 24 hours of rooting, debloating, tweaking and optimizing my G930U

- Flashed fresh, stock firmware: Marshmallow 6.0.1, first release, G930UUEU4API3

- Was FINALLY able to gain and hold root by following the steps located in the first section of this thread.

- After that I installed an UPDATED version of FlashFire via ADB.

- I opened FlashFire. Until you disable KNOX, SuperSU will be VERY slow to prompt you with the pop-up to grant root access to FlashFire (maybe a minute or so). Once access is granted, you can debloat and disable KNOX. This is the only root required app I installed at this point.

- In section two of the same thread, I downloaded and added the second .zip file, S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip to internal storage (sdcard) and flashed it using FlashFire. I also downloaded this .zip, added it to internal storage and flashed it. I also went here and did the same with this .zip. (KNOX is disabled in the first flash so at this point SuperSU will function normally).

- IF YOU DO NOT DISABLE KNOX COMPLETELY YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!! Flash ALL 3 .zips to ensure KNOX is disabled!!

- I then disabled any other apps and or services I deemed fit and that suit my needs. If anyone wants me to I can compile a list of what I left installed.

- Installed Xposed following the 3rd step in the thread I linked twice already.

- Downloaded and installed HEBF - Battery Saver & Optimizer, selected a medium profile for Battery and medium for performance.

The difference is almost instant. On top of all the bloat, I can't believe how much battery this drains because of it.

Dam i get 2 days and about 3h sot, brightness automatic wifi on celluar on, and im on original firmware no root. it holds so great man battery life is ****ing awesome with s7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonFire1024:
Not debloated? I don't believe that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Check the battery stats thread, 2 days with 3 hours SoT is easy, also depends what you were doing with your phone while the screen was on, if not much, like WhatsApp or something low powered, then you can get way more than that

atm Samsung have caused a battery drain bug with the last 2-3 updates, but before that I was averaging 5-6 hours SoT easily, and could easily get 2 days usage from one charge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonFire1024:
With being on unlocked firmware, without the carrier bloat, There were 330+ samsung apps on this thing. I was lucky to get 5-6+ hours on a full charge and it would feel like it was going to melt while using it. I got it down to about 135-140 apps. if you include the ones I downloaded, 161 apps. Installed HEBF battery optimizer and it runs as smooth as possible. I probably could get as much of a charge out of it now. Prior to that? I don't see that being remotely possible. There were too many apps doing too many things at almost a constant level. So i find it very very hard to believe someone got 2 days on a full charge with 330+ apps running in the background. It just isn't possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Just because your phone was a lemon for battery life does not mean everyone elses is, go read the battery stats thread and see for yourself, most people get 5 hours+ SoT without resorting to debloating

5-6 hours on a full charge is diabolical, no-one in their right mind would accept that as normal, that's about the SoT you should be getting with the phone in constant use, not entire battery life

And next to none of those apps you removed use any power in the background, there were 2 that used about 10% too much battery for my liking, OM Customise and KNOX, I disabled them and easily got 5-6 hours SoT, at a push I could get more with lighter usage

So don't make statements like "It just isn't possible", you don't own everyone's phone, you can only speak from your own, it is entirely possible and is easily accomplished with a normal non-defective S7
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cionci088:
hello, i recently bought a HomTom HT10, a chinese phone with ultra high specs, but noticed that the only rom available from HomTom official site is a semi-custom ROM. no global version available for my phone....

this is a big problem, because many apps use the Safetynet protocol to check the integrity of my android (marshmallow 6.0) and find it rooted, while it is in fact the official release. so i wanna try to flash a DIFFERENT ROM from a DIFFERENT phone on my HT10, but a phone with very similar specs: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4

both phones have the mediatek Helio X20 MT6797 chipset, same ram and rom, same screen, both have Sony camera

also the Xiaomi note 4 firmware (MIUI 8) works (if flashed) on other HomToms with the same chipset as MIUI official phones..... keep in mind thet all these chinese phones are very very close in terms of hardware

so..... what are the odds of this going well? (your opinion)

will it brick the phone? work with bugs? work perfectly?

must i flash the kernel also or keep the homtom one?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] digimancer:
Hey guys and gals,

I have tried multiple ROMs now, and am having the same problem with all of them. Whenever I connect my Note 3 to my car, I get a "This device does not support media function" error that I do not get with a stock ROM.

After a weeks worth of trial and error, the only thing I can come up with are USB incompatibility, or DRM? I have tried all the rom provided usb modes, with and without debugging enabled, still no luck. Anyone know a fix?

Using my wifes phone, I was able to confirm that the stock head unit works perfectly, so the issue is definitely with my phone/roms.

Currently running Phoresis v7 (which I love).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kjaved373:
how did you fix it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] digimancer:
I returned my Note 3 to stock via Odin... It is just barely worth it...

I almost want to buy another phone to keep in the car and just network it to my hacked one...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kjaved373:
I'm not exactly sure what my problem was but I updated my phone via ODIN since I was on a beta software, reinstalled the AA app, removed my car from the settings in the app (reinstalling didn't delete it) and also toggle the setting for AA on my car's headunit and then it finally worked :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
Hi Guys,

Need some advice. Just picked up a galaxy s8 plus for my personal device. I had one already for work. Noticed the work device has a much cooler screen and looks more white to me. Noticed the S8 plus i picked up for my personal has a redder hue to it. I tweaked the different modes in display but the personal device just cant get as cool or white as the work device I have. The work device (Left) is the US Snapdragon model and the personal ( right) is the international exynos model. Is this hue worth returning over or is this variation in screens normal. Looked at a Note 8 i have and it resembles the work device and is cooler and whiter as well. Any ways i can get the whites the same on my personal device ? Coincidentally the device on the right was manufactured 4/27/2017 while the device on the left was made 3/23/2017. I have also tried the display tweaks and the *#15987# trick.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Valentyn_L:
Don't bother returning it. It looks just fine. If anything you're just being paranoid for nothing.

Just enjoy the phones and stop overanalyzing things. For example, you won't know that you have dead pixels in your phone until you start looking for them. Same with the hue variation.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thibaly:
He is not paranoid.

I got the same issue on my S8 Exynos, if i stop "adaptative mode", my screen turn into a red ****.

Anyway i wont return it because this phone is awesome and it work prety well in adaptative mode
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kaliberx:
Because all Modes are SRGB/Adore RGB based, and these modes are reddish.

It's the same on my xxxx Dollars weorth Eizo Coloredge Monitor. SRGB and Adobe Modes have a light reddich touch.

It's even here mentioned somewhere :

http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S8_ShootOut_01.htm

Smartphones all in all are calibrated with 7500K or higher with a huge Ammount of Blue in it.

Thats why many think in other modes the red is too much.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bisquit-02:
I have the same with amoled modes from day one, but they refused to exchange it.

We have multiple Samsung devices and while a note 4 has a greenish tint, none of them are as annoying as the s8+ we have which looks the same as yours.

Many users have this but simply leave it at adaptive mode. Hence they are fine and see no problem.

I find it poor from Samsung that they are unwilling to fix amoled modes.

Alas, I'm just waiting for my screen to crack and have it replaced. Maybe that will fix it.

So yes, raise hell and try to get it replaced. And ignore those that say you're overanalyzing. Because you are not.

Do you have the blue light filter turned on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kaliberx:
Read my Posts, thats sRGB and thats how the others modes tuned to.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bisquit-02:
Right.

And on all the Samsung phones we've had amoled was fine.

Let me see, S1, 2,3, note3 and 4, S5 , A5, A7, and finally S8+.

Only S8 show this red tint. Even in adaptive mode when tilted slightly.

No, it's not normal on S8 devices. Btw, I've always used amoled photo.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G955F met Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
Thanks for the reply guys

I was definitely concerned. I use the same exact device everyday for work and the difference in tone is definitely noticeable once I switch over. The Note 8 I have been testing is on the cooler side as well. In fact my s7 edge is cooler as well. I guess my preference is definitely towards cooler toned devices. I usually have great luck with Samsung displays and have never had any issues.

Yes on the work device I have switching to amoled cinema or photo is fine and not to apparent. In fact I used amoled cinema on my s7 edge but on the new s8 plus it becomes very red and is basically unusable unless in adaptive mode is turned on. I wonder how this can affect resale value.

Thanks for the info will look into it. Its very weird though since I have the exact same model device to compare and the other is much bluer and cooler ( and is my preference). Since I interact with both devices everyday daily its very annoying/unnerving.

I'm in the US but bought the international version for rooting and such. Looks like I got a model from Panama. I imagine Samsung US will not want to help me at all.

I don't have blue light filter enabled. It becomes very red when i do so unlike my other devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ob1silvia:
I had this same issue except mine was a greenish tint. I tried to play with the settings but nothing helped. It go so bad i could not see . I returned mine yesterday to samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kaliberx:
But one other thing : If you use on daily base a cooler Colorsetting, and switch over to a warmer one, it looks red'ish. Use it for 1-2 Hours and switch back to Adaptive and you think uhh ohh ugly its blue-greenish. Tested it today.

I sit in front of the monitor every day, and I've set them all to have a very low blue portion. So my screens always look a little bit red tinted for others.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bisquit-02:
Your eyes adapt to it so you won't notice it anymore.

I have an A7 which is a bit green on white backgrounds, and yes, when I use it it's very obvious. But within an hour I'm used to it. Because it doesn't change in different light, and stays the same when I tilt it in any direction. adaptive doesn't change either.

But on my s8+ it does change, and when I tilt it it's very reddish. When I show something on my phone to someone else, they look from the side and see a reddish screen.

Honestly, most of us have used many Samsung devices, the difference is very noticable, when you look at this screen.

But not all have it.

So yes, you are correct with the colour switching. I've already tested this many times and compared it in all possible settings with my iPhone 6+.

But amoled has too much red, no matter how long I stare at it.

Well, if you just dont wanna flash magisk, i found 2 other way

1/ is to use xposed, install gravity box and choose button backlight in display section

2/ the other is to use exkernel manager, in tools/usersetting, add new option and navigate to sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness, set it to 0.

Hello

I want to use My Nexus is my backup phone. Can anyone recommend a good battery. I ordered one from Aliexpress but it didn't ship and was refunded. Since it is my first android phone, I have a lot of memory with it :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I've bought many batteries and only a few of them were good. unfortunately there is no way to tell which one will be good, because they are all "fakes". the companies responsible aren't taking credit, which means they also aren't bragging about how good their battery is, or what their track record is. my advice is 2 things: try to find listings that show the date of the battery's construction, or a picture of the actual battery itself, showing a date printed on the label. it is important to get a new battery. I think newer means more likely to not be garbage. and #2: if you want to spend more, there are a couple companies around the world that do sell galaxy nexus batteries with their name brand on them. buying one of these might cost $50 shipped to you, but going this way would prevent you needing to buy 5x $10 batteries like I did. I would link you to the ebay listings of the ones I bought, but they'd all be dead links by now! good luck!

This one below is the original one that I found... if you download youll have two options... to install the bottom one... just run the cab... to install the top one... just run the cab and then copy all the files from the "black vista dialer" zip to the /windows/ folder...

if someone wants to take the two and create it into a cab thatd be great... ive never taken the time to learn how to...
