I sucessfully used shortcut master lite to locate the edit for the apn on the Sprint G8 thinQ!!! So now it can be programmed for ANY Network! And now I have the LTE conncection on H2O wireless on the Sprint LG G8 Thinq.

The main settings in the phone menu remain greyed out but added APN's now appear but can only be edited in the App. Via

com.lge.hiddenmenu (409 items) Thsi will have an Android Icon next to it.

-> Scroll down to APN Editor (This may require going to the APN Unlock first, which only need to be clicked on but when I found that first I hoped the main menu would unlock, so go unlock it if the APN editor doesn't work)

APNEditor is about half way down on the scroll bar.

NOTE! -> When you click on some of these menus a pop up will appear in order to continue you MUST CLICK QUICKLY ON LAUNCH TWICE IN A ROW. The very first time Superuser Permission will pop up for the App.

Thank you so much for your assistance!

I did download a clean rom using Smart switch and have a copy of it in case something goes wrong.

But now a new problem arises. Magisk module installation errors. I made a clean install and yet i get errors.

Steps I followed....

1. Install TWRP using Odin

2. Make a format data using TWRP ( so clean totally, after having a back up though )

3. Cleared all partitions using TWRP and then using Odin I flashed the new rom file

4. After flashing, without even powering it on, I flashed Magisk also

5. Then when I turned it on, Setup screen turned up and everything was working cool with no errors. But in the mean time I forgot which version I flashed (firmware).

6. Magisk modules cant be installed on my device now. And there is no official support from Xposed as of now for A9 Pro

Anyone else having same problem??

And can I get a serial number and model number as emergency firmware update is not accepting mine.

Other errors on this flash :

1. Call volume full from earphone error. ( Is it me or for everyone? ) [ When earphones are connected, there is no volume from the speaker when a call comes ]

I want to know if this issue is with the samsung phone as I have been reporting this since 6 months to the samsung team.

Hey guys,

Instead of using Magisk 14, use Magisk 14.2 (Beta)

It works fine with no error.

And I think, even though we get xposed, new method seems like having a lot of drawbacks like security.

Systemless is good and you can unroot as and when you wish.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] killerfrost:
Yes. I think using Magisk 14.3 we can install Greenify Modules which enables to use xposed based greenify. This helps better battery performance. I have tested it on my device and its been going great. Hide Magisk also works and modules also work.

This helps better battery performance for sure.

No solution for battery drain on nougat. With magisk or supersu Battery drain fast on nougat. specially when turn Bluetooth on . Amplify greenify will works but cost u on delayed msgs. On WhatsApp wechat or any social media app. So don't use those apps . Without them u can get 7 to 8 h sot. If u want more battery don't touch device manager. Don't optimize any thing . Restart ur device every 3rd day. N wait for new software upgrade .

Format data by typing yes.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fanwater:
Doesnt make any difference. Only a terminology difference. Wiping data partition is to format that partition and there was a prompt to type "yes' to proceed.

Still hang at the first boot screen forever. . . .
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
Incorrect, they are fundamentaly different.

WIPE simply removes the files stored on it. FORMAT removes the data and file system then rewrites a new file structure to the partition.

A WIPE will NOT remove encryption, a FORMAT will.

This type of simple thing. you think i dont know meh. So you want low level format it further by writing every bit of it with '0'? I can help.

The reason i posted it here is not whether to format or just delete files in the partiion but because the op here didnt work out for me if you restore data.

Magisk for A9 Pro

I have been trying different Magisk versions and finally the versions that work best with A9 Pro

1. Magisk 14.0

2. Magisk 14.3

3. Magisk 15.2

I am currently using Magisk 15.2 with no errors.

Try to use only Magisk 15.2 and 14.3 if you want all features of Magisk to work. 14.0 gives root but Magisk Hide doesnt work.

If you are on a lower version of Magisk and want to update as Magisk manager always asks you to update, please do not update from the Magisk manager as you will be stuck in the bootloop. I suggest you have a backup and try to update fresh which is always better. Magisk 15.2 is so far good and works cool. It also backs up your boot image in case you want to uninstall Magisk.

If anyone knows any ROMs available for A9 pro, please provide a link. I want to try them.

And if you want to go to Android 6.0 you can always try Genius ROM from xda. I think its stock Samsung and works fine. Just in case

https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series/development/genius-rom-v1-apfc-t3497551

If possible please try to change the thread title( i have no idea if you can change it) as it will be easy for others to find.

Just want to know, what is the issue with front camera?

And as of battery drain, I get 1.5 days of battery with moderate to high usage. I think thats good enough. I use Greenify and Magisk 15.2 modules if in case you may want to know.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Rio Rapha:
I just compared my battery with My Mi Max 32GB AOSP ROM and the battery of My A9 Pro is bad compare with Mi Max ESPECIALLY for gaming, i straight 6 hours non stop to play games with Mobile Data 3/4G and here the result : Mi Max battery after 6 hours : 55% With (AOSP 7.1 Nexus Port ROM and costum Kernel and Blaze Speed Tweaks)

and A9 Pro with 4Hours Playing : 48% (Official Nougat and official kernel with some tweaks Blaze Speed Tweaks)

performance my Mi Max screen build quality Max 30fps, but samsung A9 get 60 fps/40 Fps and bring Good Quality graphic (deep colour, pixel, and brightness).

A9 Pro Front Camera :

the colour isnt good and why too much noise especially on the night (low light) on Nougat 7.0, i compare to My friend A9 Pro OS 6.0.1 Marshmallow latest Build Singapore,The 6.0.1 Marshmallow rom can get less noise and Natural but the Quality Image is Same, only noise is less and look Natural on 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

so after 1 week i use here my opinion :

the problems is official ROM Samsung is more heavy than AOSP ROM (AOSP with right Or STABLE BUILD can lead everything that mean LESS BUT POWERFULL ) and The Costum Kernel bring more performance (50% performance increase other than official kernel)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] killerfrost:
The thing is A9 Pro is made by mistake. They didnt know what to keep and what not to. Performance of A9 pro is way better than many phones I've seen. When comparing, Mi Max has a lot of tweeks done to give such battery life. Even then I dont think A9 pro performs bad. I suggest you try out de-blotted ROM for A9 Pro and check the results. And as of gameplay, well more power thirsty graphic processing will consume a bit more. If you want to improve battery life with tweaks, I suggest you install Xposed and reduce the power consumption reducing graphic processing (i donno if it will work fine on a stock ROM).

And as of camera, I spoke to the Samsung developers and the software doesnt actually take good advantage of the sensors and thats a very bad problem. I left my phone in the service center for a month and finally they concluded that A9 Pro is discontinued due to the same reason. After the december update, A9 Pro wont get any major updates. They cant fix this issue. I tried a lot. And in Android 6.0 Optical image stabilization is not up to the mark with the available sensors (Even now its not). But they informed me that it has been fixed in 7.0 and back camera will perform better which i felt a bit.

As of a mid range phone, I think its ok and with a good amount of tweaks in the near by future it can do better. Ill test with more custom ROMs if any and let you know.

As of now try using the de-bloatted ROM and check the performance and battery life.

If you know any other ROMs in development, please reply here. I want to check them out.

Camera Front and back seem bring more improvement, game performance is smooth i have been comparing with 2 MOBA games i.e. Vainglory Stable 40~49 fps,and Mobile Legends atleast 29~35 fps and there is no stuttering graphics like official ROM. But Battery drain too much (from 100% to 45% with 2 hours non stop playing it games) there is no improvement of battery. Maybe CustomROM based AOSP will come Future :)
