[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] USA-RedDragon:
So, everybody who wants to use substratum on touchwiz is required to buy an addon from the google play store for two dollars. I don't like that. The themers don't benefit from it, nor was samsung support a huge problem to get going. I patched out the requirement for it, and am uploading the apk for it.

This does NOT:

-Remove any piracy checks

-Support piracy

This DOES:

-Allow you to theme your Samsung without the two dollar addon

Now before people get all up in arms about this, I'm legally able to do this. The code is released under GNU GPLv3, and I can make modifications all I'd like as long as I share the source. (Here, for reference)

You'll need to uninstall the default substratum app and replace it with mine, other than that, it's the same app. As Substratum updates, I will too.

Source: Mod edit: link removed

APK: Mod edit: link removed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Team DevDigitel:
Imo subs violated xda policy essentially making their app a paid app and promoting it in the forums. Any and all Samsung devices can not use subs without the paid key.

Any testing of oms or subs would require such key.

This is a great fork of the open source project and is essential to open source development. I would love to contribute to a fork build that maintains a free build and allows users to donate and buy themes as you choose fit.

I support this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] USA-RedDragon:
NEW RELEASE: Mod edit: link removed

Since Sub's dev said this, I had to patch again to make it look like it has TouchWiz addon installed

Now it looks like this:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
As much as I respect Samsung users' desire for using Substratum for free, faking the installation of the TouchWiz plugin for support from the Substratum team goes beyond simply modding a FOSS app; it's theft of service.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] efrant:
It's one thing to take GPL-licensed work and remove the requirement for the add-on app. It's entirely another to make it look like it's an "official" release so as to try and get support from the substratum team, when they specifically said they won't support modified builds.

Thread closed.

Please do

not

contact the OP regarding the patched version, as he will not be distributing it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KatayHan:
Hi fellas.

Long story short: I seek

detailed

information about how LMK and especially Virtual Memory works so I can educate myself for teletubbic purposes.

Details:

I'm my old, 1gb Samsung Galaxy S3 device I suffer quite a lot because of poor ram management. Slow insufficient memory for even 1 app ooorr app transitions(multitasking), laggy apps, out of memory reboots drains my will to live.

So time to time I searched internet (especially most of the XDA forums) to find a solution for this, for months(again, time to time). In this process I learned a LOT but unfortunately its not enough since I still haven't found what some virtual memory values and related build prop entries does. Some people made guides but it's not specific and explanatory enough, unfortunately. Just some basic info from surface.

There are a lot of apps and roms that claims to provide better ram management through different ways but as you might guess, none of them completely solved my problems.

Don't get me wrong. I know that at the and, it all comes down to my 1gb device. But through my whole Android experience, I know what this device is capable of. So.. Yeah.

I want specific amounts of apps to stay in memory.

I want my system to kill apps without a second thought in out if memory situations. Fast as if I use "force stop" button in Apps/Settings. (this is important, huh)

I want to set priority to apps about using memory according to app's needs and my use frequency.

To do all of that, instead of crying in forums, I want to educate myself about ram management and do my thing by myself by optimizing system to the end.

Any help, guides, links, courses, piece of info appreciated.

Thanks in advance:)

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djirin:
As the title says I have an old 101 G9 Turbo sitting around. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the LCD for something else. I know I will have to find an LCD controller to even use it for anything else but the problem is finding a controller that would actually work with it. My googling has not turned up much of anything on the display unfortunately.

I did find this file that appears to decode the panel ID on the back. For Example mine says KD101N4-40NA-A2. If I read it correctly it appears to be an AUO panel.

Other than finding out that information I can't seem to find an LCD controller that might work. Plenty of controllers on banggood and the like. Just hard to find one that might work!

I just wonder if anyone is still around that might have played with one of these in this aspect. If not I can take the still good batteries out and get a battery charger easily!

Hi Zuk fans,

I just bought Zuk z2, two days ago. I heard like, there are heading issues with this phone. So I would like to under clock the phone. Currently, I'm on 7.o stock..

My question....

1) can I under clock CPU to 1.9 on stock ROM? If yes, how to do that and plz let me know the process and what all required for this.

2) I would like to downgrade to 6.0 as this enables 24 bit dac on our device. So, how to downgrade on a locked and non rooted phone???

3) is there any custom kernel that supports stock OS???

This information might help other new users as well...

Thanks
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] sergsinger:
2) Use QFIL and flash 2.3.042 (China) or 2.0.133 (India).

3) As I know there are no custom kernels which will work on stock.

i hadn't used the stock rom for much time, but you can try to root it (with magisk maybe, i don't know) and set cpu frequencies with kernel adiutor

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] c_tho:
hi folks,

been excited about this device since it was announced but have been real disappointed by the negative feedback on the camera. still considering the purchase but am worried i'll regret it. i am coming from the z3 (non-compact) so i have difficulty gauging just what people mean when they talk about, in particular, poor low-light performance. just how poor are we talking? like you can't shoot indoors at all or just that photos in dark areas will be grainy? will it be at least as good or better than my z3?

there have been some really helpful posts in this thread and i've read a range of opinions from "it's actually quite good" (see this android central review) to "i am returning this piece of garbage immediately" (various forum posts).

from what i can gather the device is a winner is most other areas (including all the ones that matter to me) but this camera stuff is a real sticking point. i mostly only use it to take pictures of my kids and tbh the z3 does a mostly good enough job so i'll probably be happy with any improvement at all.

thanks for any guidance you can provide, low light samples would be super helpful as well. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] genorok:
I think it takes better pictures than my X Performance, Z3, or Z2 ever did. I haven't noticed any grainy photos. I don't use auto focus a ton but when I've tried it the photos turned out fine.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
GSMArena has quite a lot of sample pictures for various scenarios.

It will be a step up from the Z3, especially the speed (I have a kid myself, capturing the split second moment is now possible).

But if you want the absolute best camera on a smartphone, then this is not the phone you are looking for.

Also, from the same review, they have a photo that quite clearly shows the distortion people were complaining about, including me. Note how the building looks warped.

The same distortion is actually present in all photos, but as you can see from the other photos, one would be hard pressed to actually perceive anything strange about it thanks to the way our brains work.

Chances are you'll never notice any distortion for the majority of photos you take, unless you happen to have a grid-like background or object to magnify the effect.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] c_tho:
thanks, that is really great. and yeah wow that distortion example is wild isn't it, makes that building look like some kind of wacky art installation.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] profyler:
Distortion is horrible, but only seen if some photos.

Overall the camer is good, not the best like from note 8, pixel2 or iphone 8 but still ok
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Davka:
I agree. Overall camera performance is better than in Z3c, especially at low light and in department of focus speed.

But when you take a photo when distortion is visible, it makes you sad :) But in my case it was ~5% of photos.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 4rz0:
Distortion is not really noticeable to me, but Sony's smoothing algorithm is.

Often, lots of detail is lost it parts of the image when viewing at full res.

I'll experiment with lower resolutions to see if it's still as agressive there.

Other than that, the camera is really fast to focus and make shots, and HDR seems to work reasonably well.

Haven't tried manual mode yet.

Super Slo-mo is a very interesting feature to play with.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] :
You can't install stock firmware with twrp unless it was made into a flashable zip by someone, and nobody has done that yet. You need to flash the firmware with fastboot. I also don't recommend flashing firmware for a GSM device on a CDMA device. It may not work out so well for you.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Honestly, no... Root won't improve battery significantly, won't fix lag, or get you a notification LED, if these are your only real issues.

The *power* LED is hard wired to the charging circuit, there are root apps that can make it act like a notification light, but only when you have external power applied so it's implementation is pretty limited.

You would have to download the OS files onto your computer. Connect your device to your computer via USB and boot your device into download mode. You may also need to install applications to install the OS back onto your device. It's been a while since I've done that.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SirDarknight:
Your bootloader's locked, so manual flashing won't work.

If you don't have any exzperience in this regard, I'd suggest a visit to the nearest Service Center

Otherwise, 'dload' is your friend. Find an 'old'(marshmallow maybe) full stock Firmware package for your phone(the correct model). It'll be around 3GB when extracted. Copy the Update.app file and put it in a folder named 'dload' in your SD Card. Insert the SD card in your phone and press&hold Vol+,Vol- and Power button simultaneously until installation begins. If it fails then you've chosen a wrong firmware. If it goes all well, your phone should be up and running.

If it gets fixed, unlock your bootloader first thing, then you can flash the latest Nougat if you want
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] itisiryan:

-- Is there a way to permanently disable or delete ads like using Adaway or some other way??

-- Is there a working root for Fire OS version 5.4.0.1?

-- Is there a working way to downgrade and revert to an older rootable OS version? If so is there a link?

--How do I get rid of the Amazon home screen theme?

Hey all. Currently own a Verizon pixel XL and was lucky to have it before last November security update that allowed dePixel8 to work.

I really want to upgrade to the pixel 2 xl but am not able to but the phone out right from Google so only means to getting one is from Verizon:(

Being that dePixel8 was the only way to get root for the Verizon pixel I'm a little worried about buying the pixel 2 and maybe never seeing root. We got lucky with the unlocked bootloader and i would love for that to happen again I highly doubt we would see that again. I can live with a locked bootloader but need root.

What are your thoughts on this.? I may just stay in my og pixel XL until something comes out. Or may go to the dark side again and go apple. IDK.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Valkyrie743:
Yeah like stated above buying from Google via their financing would need for another credit check that I will probably not get approved for ATM. Why Verizon is only option.

After hearing many mix reactions about the screen color vs the og pixel as well as lg v30 banding and uniformaty I'm thinking that I'm just going to stick with my current pixel. Really reason I was going to upgrade was I got stuck with the 32gb pixel last year because the 128 was back ordered for 3+ months figured I would survive with 32gb. I was wrong. So probably will just sell my pixel and buy a used google edition xl 128gb off swappa.
