[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
I tried plastic and rubber tipped pens before: Out of 3 stylus I originally purchased, I lost 2 within few weeks and I know the last one is somewhere in the house, but no idea exactly where. And even when I had them, they were never with me, when I needed them. I use Note phones for most of the last 4 yrs and have not lost one s-pen, it's always with the phone and it will sound warning if pen left behind. Also the precision, functionality and extra programs that come along are unique to Note series. I use my phone 24/7 and s-pen about 50% of the time (it's like a mouse on my computer) and at this point I don't care much for any other phone outside of Note series. Besides, it just happens Note 8 is one the best phones money can buy right now. Now, I don't know if $90 is a big deal for you, it won't make any difference for me and I can save much more elsewhere. BTW if you're on a tight budget, maybe you should look at phones like Blu, you save much more than $90 and they almost as good. If it wasn't for s-pen I would probably look at them closely myself.

Yea it probably isn't a big deal, just wanted to know what is it about when deciding

Hello out there!

I've got a big problem: I just tried to root my device. But after I typed in "fastboot oem unlock" into Windows PowerShell, the device disconnects from the computer. I had to hold the volume down+power button to get out of the fastboot mode.

Is there anybody, who can help me or have an opinion, why this didn't work? :( :confused:

Thank you

There's any way to make magisk modules work on stock rom? If I install in recovery, they don't show in the app and don't work at all. If I try to install in the app itself, I only get errors.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dchoi229:
Lol you gotta give more information.... What error messages are you getting?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Camarda:
The only messages I get when trying to install modules at the Magisk Manager is simply an "Installation error". But this is not the real problem. The problem is that when the installation is successful, both on the app or on the recovery, nothing happens. The Modules section will aways say "No modules found", and the modules simply don't work.

At the logs, after trying to install some modules, I had those lines with errors:

E( 483: 817) mount /dev/block/loop0->/magisk failed with 13: Permission denied

E( 26603:26603) mount /dev/block/loop1->/dev/magisk_merge failed with 13: Permission denied

I've read somewhere about a magisk error at this device, something with the loopback device, but it was allegedly fix on 7.1.1, that I'm using.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dchoi229:
You need to flash the boot.img and then the custom F2FS kernel for the modules to work along with the safety net pass.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Camarda:
So the only thing we can do is wait for an f2fs fixed 7.1.1 kernel? (since this method only makes the safetynet fix module work)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dchoi229:
yes for 7.1.1 you would have to wait for a fixed kernel. Nougat 7.0 already has it. I'd advise you to just use flashallthetime's stock 7.0 nougat deodexed rom.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Camarda:
But there's a working 7.1.1 custom F2FS kernel?

[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] angblurrmo24:
now i know why everytime i manual update my p9 plus c636b103 to higher firmware is making it c900. its because my p9 plus is locked to its network carrier and the network smart is not releasing the ota for p9 plus. i have a vendor of smart country ph.,

pls bare to read as your knowledge/experience will help alot not only to me but to the future whom might get the same questions as mine. pls answer every questions./problems i have encountered thank you.

Q:#1 as i understand i think i need to do the debranding?? to unlock my p9 plus from my network, at first it made me so confused because my sim is unlocked i can use any sim. but then i realized its still locked in system updates from smart ph.

Q:#2 do i need to unlock bootloader install twrp and root the p9 plus first before contiunuing to the vdo of debranding?

Problem: #1, i dont fully understand the vdo of droidth in debranding the unit. i got lost of understanding in the changing of ro. build. id something like that. i tried to do the extracting the verlist but when i open the extracted verlist. img in notepad i only get random letters and symbols(ex. b&+g~), but in the video i should see vie/nxtc636b***. so i really got lost.

Problem: #2. i know i need the unlock code from huawei website.before i can unlock bootloader and i already get a code but the problem is i forgot to right it down as i only txted it to my number which i also use in my p9plus and i factory reset my p9 plus when i install back to c636b103 because if i dont factory reset after install b103 i got null imei, camera crashes, internal storage none. but after factory reset its ok.

so how am i gonna get a code again? is it still possible to get the code again? can someone pls put the link? thx.

thank you.

your reply will be much appreciated.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] xtype23:
Yes, you need to debrand your phone and install the generic firmware for your region (for example, c432 firmwares for europe). In order to do this, you need unlocked bootloader and twrp. Root is optional, it depends on how you want to change the OEMinfo. For the unlock code I think you can ask it again to huawei in the same way you asked for it the First time. For problem#1, sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about because I didn't use that guide. Maybe try to root the phone and then edit the file directly on it with somethin like root explorer.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] angblurrmo24:
can i use any firmware in debranding? and should i first go back to b103? i have frimwares here b180 b190 b170 b130 b362.. all ar3 c636, what should i use? and can i do now the debranding process even if im still on c900b180?
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] xtype23:
Since you are on C900, I believe your cust is broken. Read here: https://www.google.it/amp/s/xdaforums.com/p9/how-to/how-to-change-cust-c900-c432-t3392824/amp/ note: it's about p9, don't download or flash anything from there.

Now if you want you can try these steps:

1- unlock bootloader (if it's still locked)

2- install twrp

3- flash via twrp the attached file (ONLY if your phone is supposed to be L29-C636, which I believe it is)

4- install a C636 firmware with DLOAD metod

Now you should be on C636 firmware with a debranded phone.

Logs:

This post will describe how to take logs.

If you are using the ROM and want to make development faster/ easier please simply take a log and post it here in the thread for us to check out.

Take logs when you notice bugs etc and try to reproduce them when taking the log and give us some description of the problem.

First you will need ADB:

Set up any adb environment on you PC (showing windows here for eg.- Linux/ Mac differs):

- For windows a minimal installation will be enough to take logs and takes 15 seconds.

15 second ADB Installer

Then open the folder it is installed to so you see "adb.exe" (obviously different on Linux/Mac).

Open and CMD window in the folder with adb and you can connect your phone.

Enable USB Debugging on the phone!:

Go to Settings - About Phone - Build Number (tap this until Developer options unlocks)

Go to Developer Options and enable "USB Debugging".

Now take the actual logs running adb logcat:

- Back to the PC CMD window.

- When you run the command a window will pop up on the phone asking for access. Say yes.

- Run the command - " adb logcat > logcat.txt "

- This will give you a text file with the log to post to us.

If possible take a dmseg /kmsg:

This is most useful for bootloops etc

You may need root on the device to access these:

- " adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log "

- " adb shell su -c "cat /proc/last_kmsg" > last_kmsg.log "

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
I figured out mobile data work. But there is a bug, inside APN configuration, that automatically delete the APN created if you modify a string inside and after save it.

This time i simply used default APN settings, without modifying anything a part APN "Name" and "APN" and it works.

Here there is the logcat of the bug (over 1 mb can't upload here).

Nothing you can do when unlock allowed:no.

The only thing is to contact sony, it is illegal (in some countries) to have an unlockable bootloader.

Hi,

I'm fairly new with these custom ROMs on my Z3 (6603). I have installed Lineage 14.1 (09/26) in my Z3 and I'm happy with it except the fact that it looses mobile network when leaving a WiFi environment like 1 out of 5 times or so. Googling around shows that this seems to be a Lineage issue which should have been fixed in June / Jule this year. Unfortunately this still happens to me. Now I've seen that there is Omni for my Z3.

- Is Omni also affected by this issue?

- What to do in order to install Omni over Lineage? I have TWRP available - is it enough to just install Omni or shall I clean/wipe anything before doing so? I'd like to keep the installed apps (and data) if possible - although I know that doing a backup is a must.

Ronny
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
Welcome on xda :)

Every rom change need a full wipe (/system, /data, /cache). However you can omit /data/media. Encryption should not be a problem too.

AFAICT omnirom don't have this problem, because we are using the old RIL.

New releases are coming (omnirom thread) with a codename change. I highly recommend you to wait for that version.

Is there any info on Roaming in europe? Anyone who can confirm its working?

And some other questions:

Is there any Info on Battery drain? I used it for a few days and have to say i find it kind of inconsistent. Sometimes I have great batterylife and then suddenly i loose like 20% in a blink of an eye.

Also there is still the bug present for OK Google enabling disables the Microphone on calls.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Ditch gapps and your battery life will soar :p

(It really does consume a huge amount of power)

If it's inconsistent it means sometimes you have decent battery life overall so the days you have bad battery life may be due to change in usage/ mobile signal strength/ screen brightness/ stray apps etc

The coming version of Omni here will be more stable. Maybe wait for the next release to use it as daily driver. I'm testing the newer builds and it's already improved.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] CRCinAU:
So just wondering.... Ages ago since I've looked at custom ROMs for the Z3.... The last I looked at, it killed the DRM keys in the camera which caused a huge drop in the quality of photos - especially at night.

Is this still the case?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Unfortunately yes, but compared to current flagships the camera quality of the Z3 isn't actually that amazing. Turns out the number of pixels doesn't actually = better photos.

So yes you will lose a little bit of quality from unlocking the bootloader.

But you won't lose any quality after that when you flash Nougat ROMs based on the 3.4 kernel as they have the stock camera blobs working.

So it's dependant on how much you need low light photos really.

I would say overall the normal light photos are the same quality for my Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] CRCinAU:
Thanks for the info.... Not quite sure what I want to do at the moment.... The stock low-light is fantastic - and I have reverted that and put the DRM keys back previously... I backed up the TA and still have D6653_Promoter_1291-4120_23.0.A.2.93_R1B - which allows you to restore the TA iirc.... EIther that one or D6653_Customized AU_1288-4247_23.4.A.1.232_R5C....

Hrrrrmmmmm
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Once the bootloader is upgraded it doesn't get downgraded through ftf flashing if I remember rightly. Nailyk knows more about bootloaders...

But as long as the restore works it's all good.

Honestly when I was using Z3 as daily driver I was more than happy with Nougat ROMs.

I would say maybe MM stock ROMs are more zippy on the Z3 but I think that's to do with Sony changing the animations because I achieved the same effect by reducing the animation duration to 0.2x in developer options on Nougat ROMs.

And holy sh** the stock ROMs have so much bloateware tied into them. Sure you can debloat but only so far without bootloops. AOSP is cleeaaaan.

If you take a lot of night shots you might as well keep the Z3 locked for now, but you wouldn't be disappointed by Omni (or any others).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] CRCinAU:
Yeah - that's what I'm thinking... My main thought is that there hasn't been a security update issued by Sony since.... well, 1st May 2016....

The million dollar questions then becomes: Lose night camera quality, or keep up to date security wise...

Now that's a tough question ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
sorry [MENTION=7144653]Dobsgw[/MENTION] but that is not true.

This rom should provide same quality as stock, *except* 120fps is not working (maybe 4k too).

If this is not the case, something bad happens to your install rom install.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
Oh sorry my mistake.

I thought we would lose DRM features with UB.

Anyway that's perfect!
