[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
(Just bolded points that I saw for easy reference) Samsung doesnt lock things down that bad, most stock ROMs regardless of manufacturer are a little inflexible for various reasons, think of it like an iphone treatment. The custom ones are very flexible IMO.

As for accessories, I know you didnt ask, but screen protectors are hard to come by due to the curved screen - glass ones have poor fit and never have sticky surface the whole way = dust can come underneath + poor sensitivity, film ones tend to lift up on the edges . and once you do find a reasonable one, normally cases cause the screen protector to lift. I highly recommend a film screen protector and a case that is friendly on one. I personally use an unbranded film protector from a street shop haha BUT I would highly recommend the supcase unicorn beetle case as it has a part that comes from the front (rather than most cases that only come from behind) meaning that it keeps the protector on very well, even an unbranded one such as mine.

Both boxes are quite easily ticked. Theme store sounds like the solution for you - like i said earlier, plenty of black and white themes. Superman ROM also lets you change the colours for notifications as theme store wont change that. Attached some screenshots of my phone's UI just to show you that it can be done with touchwiz.

Yeah, I reckon you sorta did too haha. It's a little bit of overkill if you simply just want those two modifications. Give touchwiz another chance I reckon. I dont think you'll regret it, given what I've read.

Adiutor is not bad and is is very stable. If it does all you need, then dont even try synapse lol. Synapse was hugely frustrating to me - unstable AF, not something I needed controlling my kernel.

My stats are also all while connected to android wear, location always on and sometimes bluetooth audio in car, so you may get even better. If you need any battery saving tips, I can help out as well. Alot of tricks are simply just changing settings. There are apps that can help too.

No worries happy to help. I'm in the chillest year of my degree, so I got plenty of time. I wrote a lot this time as well I think haha. So TLDR - give touchwiz another go, it sounds like you wont regret it by reading your posts.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] milangheorghe:
Hello, I am the owner of a p10 with VTR-L09C02B155, I have not been able to unblock the official bootloader but I have seen that the firmware finder application offers me the possibility to install the official version of VTR-L09C432B162 (as shown by IMEI verification). My question is someone else trying this rebranding method? Thank you.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Quintman:
Hey, it's not quite that simple. I just did this with my p10. You need the full firmware files as well as the oem. File. Have you got the bootloader unlock code from Huawei? You need that first. I'll try and do a write-up as there isn't a p10 specific one yet

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

Here are the steps I took to debrand my VTR-L09C706 to a VTR-L29C636 (29 is dual sim, not needed but good to have). 636 is the asia global which gets quite a few updates.

Caution: This is a guide of what I did and am not responsible if anything happens to your phone!

Thank you to [MENTION=1097168]mankindtw[/MENTION] for his writeup.

1. Navigate to https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

Download the files for "Base", OS ( I had windows), and Model (P10). These are all .zip files with the same top folder of HWOTA, you need to extract them all where you want them, but take off the last folder (mine wanted to extract to \Desktop\HWOTA_2017050101_Windows, but I modified to extract to \Desktop\). This ensures they build the right folder structure.

2. Using Firmware finder (I used on PC). Locate the VTR-L29C636B166 Rom that is 2.971GB. you will need to download all 3 zip files for this

update.zip

update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"

update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip"

3. Put all 3 zip files in your \HWOTA\update folder you should now have

4. now in \HWOTA run update.bat and follow instructions. you will need to select Rebrand, and select VTR-L29C636

5. once its completed your phone will go through an update process, mine ended up hanging when finsished and said "phone will reboot". ended holding power button to restart. once I had the phone booted up I went back into recovery and did a factory reset and wipe cache to be sure things were cleaned up.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dunno what the hell is up with my phone.. but i finally got it

the trick for me was.. actually i dunno what finally made it take

but after you flash recovery from fastboot..

volume down to reboot to recovery ..

then my screen went black w/backlight i got pissed and i unplugged the usb cable from my computer then i saw twrp flash across the screen for a split second lmao

i was like OHHH sh$% lol

so i just started pressing buttons.. and discovered my phone was in some sort of weird lock state.. i held the power button down and tapped the volume up key.. if i let the puwer button go the screen goes back to black .. so while still holding on the power button i swiped across the screen to unlock and WALLAH (spelling) i was in twrp..

and i got root.. the screen locked itself to the black w/backlight a few times during the process but i just kept repeating..

i dunno what the hell all of the that was about .. but maybe itll help somebody else..

thanks again everyone for your replys very much appreciated

Edit: it seems that you can still set the live wallpaper via 'Wallpaper' menu, but not through 'Themes'. Interesting.

Stock kernel.

Single means e6603 & e6653. Dual means e6633 & e6683.

No way to create an update package from signed OTA package. I dont know what was changed so I cant create from FTF too.

You have to flash FTF. If you want to only update. DO NOT select any wipe options. Device will be updated, but root will gone. You have to flash patched kernel and root.

I was on previous versions of Sony Xperia z5 dual i have downloaded flash file from Xperia firmware and using Xperia flashtool by androxyde and i have upgraded to version 32.4.A.1.54 WITHOUT reflash the whole firmware.

At the time of flashing when you will select file v32.4.a.1.54,on right their is option wipe don't check any of them leave them uncheck, userdata,applogs,etc and then start flashing. Its work for me I'm using Xperia z5 dual E 6683.

Was hoping for a cooler device and slower discharging.... got the opposite! :(

Was hoping for a cool device and slow discharge - got the opposite instead! Hot as hell in idle and in use and turbo discharging. I bet I still have the BT bug as well when using my cars handsfree.

Must say that I'm extremely dissapointed in Sony for not fixing the issues, they have had approximately 2 years to fix this firmware/hardware.

If nothing happens in a week or 2 this will be my last Sony and my wife will also ditch the brand in pure sympathy. We have been buying a lot of the Sony brand (before that SonyEricsson) and as a Swede (knowing that still development is in Lund) want to be "patriotic" but my patience is basically over which is sad.

BTW, I have a Z5 Compact.

It's strange and a bit scary that we all have different experiences with update(s) and firmware, it almost indicates differences in the hardware.
