[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
thanks for the feedback.

i called VZW today inquiring about any upcoming promos/black friday. rep claimed that he did not see/know of any aside from the $300 trade-in credit (which my phone is not one of).

he did offer to waive the activation/upgrade fee ($35), free shipping overnight, and honor the $100 gift card (which I think is only applicable to new lines). he mentioned there was a sale of $15/month on the XL that ended on the 9th, but could not re-enable it for me.

so I'm going to sit tight (not really, just getting antsy), and wait to see what promos come out on Black Friday.

also, he did say that the device comes with the bootloader unlocked - I reminded him what that meant, as most reps think that this means password locked or something - but he sounded very certain he understood what I was referring to - so this could be a good sign, but I'm not holding my breath.

from my understanding, unlocking the bootloader does NOT root the device, as root has not been established on this device (yet).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
looks like the $100 off at best buy is gone.

just waiting for VZW black friday announcement. last year, they announced it on 11/4 - so this year could be on Friday, 11/3.

I keep checking google for any other promotions, but no dice.

so if anyone sees any deals, please post it here.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
i didn't buy them.... but why wouldn't we believe it?

on a side note, was showing my kids all of those "iphone drop from 1000 feet tests", and it got me thinking....

maybe the manufacturers place such a high price tag on the phones when they first come out to make these folks think twice about trying to intentionally break the phone. then, once they've been out for several months, the price drops for those that are really interested in keeping the device rather than experimenting on them....

just a thought....
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] uecker87:
Well - of course it is too good to be true. Doesn't take much to figure that out. Why the hell would they sell a new phone at a loss instead of just canceling the preorder or returning it.

I modify original Kaiser Tweak utility from Jorrit Jongma (original is in http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/ ) and add some new registry tweaks posted to tweak forum for artemis. This is great tool for simply adding any registry tweak by any junior user. All, what is need is modify KaiserTweak.xml file in directory. When anybody know any great tweak, what is most usage, post it here or modify xml file.

This program no need any instalation. Simply unpack to any directory to your device and run. All changes are save to registry directly. For take effect is need restart device.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etheralrealm:
I'm currently running the latest version of PureNexus and debating installing Android Oreo. Are there any huge downsides? Is it buggy, slow, etc? In other words, is it daily driver ready for someone who uses their phone all day for music, video, games, EVERYTHING and still wants to tweak the os to their needs.

?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffejy462:
Unless you're worried about the security updates, just stay on PN. PN for Oreo should be out soon as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etheralrealm:
That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
I was on PN since I got my 6P and updated to Oreo as soon as it came out. I don't regret the decision at all. Battery life is as good or better than PN (I routinely end the day with 4+ hours of SOT and 35-40% left. Your experience may vary depending on usage), performance is wonderful, and I haven't found any major bugs yet. All of my favorite mods work (EX kernel, Pixel mod, Camera NX, WakeBlock, and a few others I'm forgetting).

The only downside is some modifications require a bit more work. For example, to resize the navigation bar and add dynamic coloring I had to extract, modify, and push framework-res.apk instead of having those options built right into the settings menu. There's no custom quick settings tiles and I can't change the number of rows/columns, but that isn't a big deal and I've learned to live without it for now.

As stated above PN based on Oreo should be out within the next month or two. Beans posted an announcement on G+ yesterday explaining that he had a family emergency that slowed down development on PN O, but he is actively working on it as much as he can.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poebat:
I went from PN to 8.1. Honestly, stick with PN. I used it for a couple days and I am downgrading right now. My battery life was significantly worse (on 7.1.2 I ended the day at ~40-50% battery. On 8.1 I was at ~20-30). I didn't notice anything great about Oreo and found myself missing PN.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
Maybe your battery is just getting tired I'm finding the opposite Oreo 8.1 giving me excellent results.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poebat:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy6685:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritser:
Hey man, how did your downgrading go? I had the intention of downgrading today but somewhere messed up and now my phone is in a bootloop. What steps did you take?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poebat:
I had that issue too. Spent waaaayyy to long trying to figure it out. I think 8.1 has a different encryption method. You need to wipe the phone completely and then do a nandroid restore (or flash PN)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritser:
Don't mean to sound like a complete noob, but how did you go on about wiping the phone completely? I've now tried so many things, reflashing TWRP, reinstalling stock firmwares, using Wug's Nexus Rooting kit, ... I can acces fastboot, what do I need to do to be able to reinstall TWRP? Because when I try it right now, I can't acces it. It goes back into the boot loop.

Cheers

In TWRP, format /Data and the internal storage. I also formatted /system just to be safe.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pangxs86:
I am using Galaxy Tab S SM-T700. Just checked and I am on 6.0.1. Would I get more speed/battery efficiency if I were to flash to nougat? I am using this tablet mainly for surfing/navigating/ebooks and watching videos, not so much on gaming. Can someone recommend any good stable release of nougat for me to flash as well? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
You can give the LineageOS 14 a try now that there is an official T700 version. It's not like you have to lose anything. Just install TWRP, backup your current ROM to SD card and then flash the LineageOS and a gapps zip. If you don't like it, you can always restore the Marshmallow ROM with your data.

I don't have experience with LineageOS on the Tab S (it has ok battery life running 6.0.1, now that I disabled most standby processing unless it's plugged into charger), but the Oneplus One port of LineageOS is fast and good enough to be my daily ROM on that phone. OPO had the same problem since Marshmallow was their final release. If you're running out of storage space, perhaps LineageOS will help because its /system partition on my phone is something like 1.2GB, which is 1GB smaller than the Touchwiz /system on the tablet. On the downside, some ecommerce and streaming apps will stop working on LineageOS. Netflix no longer shows up in the play store but you can download the apk manually while Uverse app stops working flat out.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie Hicks:
After a few months with Lineage 14, I just went back to stock MM on my T800. Everything is running smoothly, and unless something really great and stable comes along, I'll probably stay stock with root and TWRP. The only real advantage for me on Lineage was less memory used. By not re-installing loads of apps that I really wasn't using, leaves me with enough memory that will suffice. I use package disabler pro to stop bloat running. I've had this tablet for over 3 years, put in a new battery this year and I'm OK with MM until I retire it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
linage builds have no fingerprint scanner, if that's important to you.

On most devices aosp/cm is a definate step up, on the tab s maybe not so cut and dried. Devs have to deal with so much crud introduced by Samsung , its a wonder that custom firmware exists for Samsung devices at all, hence there will always be some bugs.

The best in my opinion for this device is a stripped stock MM ( Fenris for me) , which I have been running for a while.

I've tried both official TWRP 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1 with the same poor results. I've read that the problem is that TWRP doesn't properly mount the data partition. Is there one that actually consistently works?!?!? :confused:

I have thought long and hard enough and I have decided to go ahead and move forward with Rooting my Galaxy S8.

I am sick and tired of ACR dropping call recordings. Ive tried many different Call recorders and All of them keep dropping the calls throughout the whole call recording session.

What is the best most effective way to Root my S8? I understand that a failed root attempt can cause myS8 to turn into a $700 paperweight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
If you head over to the development section there are guides to root your device. Please be aware though the current root method for the snapdragon variant seems to have a bug which stops the phone from charging above 80%, also Rom availability is very limited, also no custom kernels due to locked boot loader. Anyway it's best to have a good read at that section and then you can make your decision.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I have (had) the 8.5.1 version Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I had successfully rooted with Kingroot and successfully flashed TWRP using the instructions here. I then tried to flash CM 12.1 from the instructions here, and it failed to flash. I tried to start over and did a wipe, and me being dumb, didn't make a ROM back up.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ebd:
Hi, I recently bought a Droid Turbo, and had the bootloader unlocked by Sunshine. The phone works wonderfully, but I'm having a few issues. Most notably, it takes ages(over 15 minutes) to boot when I'm using a custom rom. I'm specifically trying to use AOKP Android version 7.X. I've tried clearing cache, clearing ART cache, clearing modem, factory resetting, reflashing system, and nothing seems to be fixing it. At first I thought it was the ROM's fault, like maybe it was a common issue with the ROM, but I flashed Bliss to it, and had the same issue. One thing I should note is that it doesn't take very long to boot into the stock Verizon rom. Another issue I'm having is sometimes the orientation sensor doesn't work, It's not that big of a deal, but I thought it would be a good idea to include it. I remember my LG G2 having a similar issue because I had the wrong bootstack flashed, but I'm not sure if a similar context applies to the Droid Turbo.

Are you using the very latest modded TWRP from [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION]? Not the crap from the official TWRP website, but from our official TWRP maintainer? 3.1.1_mod2 is the latest right now.

He knows what's best for our Quarks (he's a recognized XDA dev) and although he got us official status with TWRP over two years ago, for some reason they won't post TWRP with his tweaks that work best with custom ROMs. Some people using official TWRP can only boot to recovery, their phone won't even boot to their ROM directly. I

helped someone with that just this week.

So, we ignore the official TWRP website and download his modded TWRP. This is the one you should be using:

twrp-3.1.1-mod_2-quark.img

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562

If you are using that, then I don't know. You could also try other ROMs just to see. AOKP is in the top three, in my opinion, but wouldn't hurt to test with something else.
