[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
Not sure it's listed anywhere what changes if any they make. I would assume that it would only really matter with their bands, which att does not use as vzw is still currently cdma.

Of all the years of using Nexus devices on vzw, I think an updated radio was an upgrade db wise one time. It's been worse more than better, and I can't remember the last time I updated a radio.

It's rare you can have other system issues from a non updated radio, but unless that happens, I'm a firm believer in not fixing what isn't broken.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
I think the other consideration with the Vz version is updates, I wouldn't want Vz getting/delaying updates as you know they will and my understanding is Vz issues the updates for the Vz models.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
Verizon didn't delay or withhold any update for the original Pixels, what makes you think that they'll do it here? Everyone was delayed for the first update, but I believe Verizon users were the first to start getting the OTA en masse.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ohlin5:
FWIW, I ordered directly from the Google store (the only way to order these devices, lol), and the moment I popped in a VZW SIM I had a 50-some MB update. Afterwards my build number shows the VZW build number per the Google factory images page. So it's clearly tied to SIM cards what it tries to put you on, and although I'm not sure what the difference between the normal and VZW builds are, Verizon delaying updates has nothing to do with it. That's only if you bought your phone through VZW that that would even be a possibility, and honestly they did pretty well with the OG Pixels, afaik
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] snovvman:
I've read the same elsewhere--that the SIM determines the build. I wonder if before the next update, an ATT or TMo SIM is inserted, if the generic build will then be downloaded.

It would be nice to know if the VZ build adds something VZ specific for better support, but still works just the same with other carriers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
Don't trust Verizon, plain and simple. 1000 reasons.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ohlin5:
My guess would be that (at least Google store ordered devices) start with the generic build, and IF a VZW SIM is inserted then it downloads the differential (~50MB was what mine was) to adjust to the VZW build. I have no way of confirming this as I unfortunately didn't look at the build number prior to SIM insertion and update, but in my simple mind it seems like it could make sense :) I could be totally off though lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
Yeah, this is how it works. Multiple people have reported the same. As far as anyone can tell, the only difference between the VZW and the regular firmware is different modem and radio images.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigblueshock:
Mine started with OPD1 build. First security update put me at an OPD3 build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
Yeah I don't think any of us are hundred percent sure on this. However I will tell you that I have an unlocked phone from the Google Play Store running on the Verizon network at first I sideload the official Google update and then Just For Kicks When I updated to the November version side-loaded the Verizon specific one. I don't know if it's truly an total but I do think that my network coverage has been maybe just a little bit better than it was previously. Could also be a placebo effect

How did your mobile got Hard Brick ? Reason ?
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
Background:

In the Netflix app for some devices, error 5.2 occurs when a video is being played. I have found a way around this error for these devices, and I managed to make a Magisk module for it. It has nothing to do with Safety Net/Play Store, it simply just lets you play the video and get rid of the error.

How to Install:

Go to modules in Magisk Manager and add the module. It will be flashed inside the app. Then reboot and you can watch Netflix again

How it works:

The file called "liboemcrypto.so" in /system/lib is the file that makes the error occur. This file is removed systemlessly with the power of Magisk, which makes the error disappear.

Issues?

If the module gets an error when flashing in Magisk Manager, flash latest Magisk version, reboot and try again.

Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_0ZezU8YymeIKNAPziVZT6dsi5qmw4wS/view?usp=sharing

Enjoy watching Netflix again on your rooted device!
[Magisk] Nye-uhls:
Wait what? Is this a device specific issue?

I thought it only used safetynet to determine if you were rooted or not? The playstore will hide Netflix if you fail safetynet, and the Netflix app itself wont work if you fail safetynet.

Gakaxy s6 here, i pass safetynet, I'm able to download from playstore and play things fine.
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
Yeah, it seems like it is not all software that is affected by this 5.2 error. This module will not change anything about Safety Net or the play store it just simply lets people with the 5.2 error to play their video in the Netflix app. Thanks for pointing this out :)
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Have you actually tested your module? From what I see it shouldn't be working since it doesn't actually replace liboemcrypto.so with liboemcrypto.bak. It only adds the .bak file together with the original .so file.

The REPLACE part of config.sh only replaces entire directories with an empty one, not specific files.
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
I have tested it and yes it does work for me and people has reported back to me that it works.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Interesting...

Thinking about it, it actually makes sense. Adding the liboemcrypto.so file to the REPLACE part of config.sh will actually create a liboemcrypto.so folder in the module system folder. This is then Magic Mounted over the file, making it into a directory with a .replace file in it. So, the file isn't removed, just "made" into a directory.

It'd be interesting to know if you can leave out the .bak file and if it'll still work, since the way to restore the file in case of issues would be to disable/uninstall the module.
[Magisk] Spartacus500:
liboemcrypto.bak just rename to liboemcrypto.so and put it into system / lib and it will work ?
[Magisk] ikfe:
Had a nexus without RPMB (apparently for DRM and bootloader), just used Magisk hide, got few errors at first startup but now it works fine.

Envoyé de mon Nexus 5X en utilisant Tapatalk
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
The module renames the liboemcrypto.so to liboemcrypto.bak, not the other way around as you say. But you can just use the magisk module and it will do the job for you and it will stay through updates.
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
That's great. It differs from devices, only the people who get the 5.2 error when clicking any video needs it xD
[Magisk] batuzai04123:
One question though.

I noticed that the quality video was not that great.

Does renaming this liboemcrypto.so file prevents netflix to play higher resolution than HD?

It seems different than watching with all-stock S8,not sure though.

I would like to know if this is a specific device issue or not.

Thank you.
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
It shouldn't affect the video quality, there is no remaining liboemcrypto.so file, just a folder called liboemcrypto.so with a .replace file in it with no code that does nothing. I get really good quality on my Galaxy s8+ and there is no difference for me. Netflix sometimes gives you bad quality at first and automatically switches to higher quality if the internet speed for higher quality is enough to avoid buffering. Try connecting to a Wi-Fi or make sure you have 4G with good signal.
[Magisk] batuzai04123:
Appreciated your quick response. I am connected to my wifi @ 50Mbps connection. I will try again and see if quality improves.

Last question, is it possible to manually choose the movie quality for Netflix?

Thank you.
[Magisk] ChanceGPM:
Yeah, here: https://www.netflix.com/HdToggle

Also you can change download quality and cellular data usage in the app, see my screenshots. You can't change the quality when the clip is playing, that is automatic.

You could try clearing the data of Netflix after enabling the module too if that makes any difference for you :)
[Magisk] batuzai04123:
Thank you so much, i didnt know theres HD Toggle in the web version of netflix, mine was set to low quality when I checked.

Now I can stream in full hd thank you.

No it work with nougat and oreo too but now i have only nougat firmware i will dumb oreo firmware soon ...
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bigrammy:
Sorry to be a pain but maybe things are getting a little lost in translation. :laugh:

So Just to be clear answer Yes or No.

1. When you were on Oreo (Beta) you could use SPFlashtool still?

2. You Flashed back to Nougat firmware using SPFlashtool after been on Oreo?

If this is true then it's Happy Days. :D
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] Riadh300:
Yes ! 3 day ago i flashed the nougat 7.1.1 with spflashtool and i was on oreo official update :)
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bigrammy:
Well that's great news and you have been most helpful. :D

I will try do a Oreo version of TWRP as most mediatek devices require the boot and recovery kernel versions to match so the Nougat TWRP would most probably not boot anyway regardless the status of bootloader locked/unlocked.

By the way which Download Agent for SPFlashTool did you use and what is your SPFlashTool version just in case I or anyone else get's stuck. :o

Sorry i not a home now but i will send you the version and download agent .. ?

I am going out in a few moments but I will prepare everything and supply instructions tomorrow morning (UK Time) via PM.

If it all works for you I will release it for everyone.

I take it you still have SPFlashTool working so could you possibly do a backup of the Official oreo /system and /boot using SPFlashTool then upload to a good cloud storage with no add's like one drive, gdrive, mega, amazon, etc, etc all in your own time of course. :o

This beta oreo has lots of logging going on so I assume most of it should be turned off in the official oreo. :fingers-crossed:

Did you unlock your bootloader while on Oreo Beta or you found a way to keep your bootloader unlocked after upgrading to Oreo Beta? Or were you able to root with your bootloader still locked? Obviously I'm interested
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bigrammy:
My bootloader was unlocked on 7.0 and after much flashing of various stock ROM's I ended up on the beta Oreo once I knew I could still use SPFlashTool thanks to [MENTION=8683524]Riadh300[/MENTION]

I get zero, none "device state" warnings on booting up Orange, Red or Yellow so it appears the device thinks I am bootloader locked. :eek:

Flashing the Oreo beta on my TA-1020 was difficult and failed a number of times but I did manage to get it work eventually.

I believe the Oreo beta I used was not for TA-1020 but It seems fine and all things work and the device is correctly identified.

Obviously everything needs to be tested by competent testers before anything can be confirmed 100% and Riadh300 is trying it out for me.

Proof it works for me Here :D

PS: I hope you don't work for Nokia/FIH as we don't want locking out in the next update :laugh:
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] redweaver:
Ok so you flashed Oreo beta using spflashtool? So that means If I want to get root, I will have to downgrade back to nougat? Sigh

Never fear, I'm still pissed with them for undoing my bootloader unlock.

So are you going to create a thread for the process you used to get root on Oreo or should we expect your post later on this thread?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bigrammy:
No I used the OTA but I am not 100% sure which parts got flashed as it kept failing at different points but eventually I ended up with Oreo.

:laugh: True

I will make a separate thread with TUT once all proofed 100% working for all. :fingers-crossed:

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evh5150ni:
Having searched the forum I think this is an old topic with no real solution, however...

When I connected my P8 Lite (B612 Marshmallow) to my bluetooth speaker (Anker) it works well until the screen switches off, at which point it doesn't fully disconnect, but inhibits the signal, making audio unlistenable. The very moment I turn the screen on (while the phone is on the lock screen and I haven't yet entered my passcode) it goes back to functioning properly.

Is there a fix for this? Is there a bluetooth "process" that is being stopped when the screen is off? If so, how do I stop that happening? Thanks!

[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] titooo7:
As some of you know the Google Camera app with HDR On is great to shot low light pictures. However OP5 users as myself aren’t as lucky when using the modded Google Camera app as as users from other devices.

With OP5 we have bugs that seem to be applicable only to our case: touch to focus not working along HDR & dots pattern issue visible when you zoom in certain pictures shot with the modded camera.

Therefore I would like to ask for a favor to the first OP5T owners:

Download and install this modded camera app (I pick this version because it’s simple without tons of settings)

Test if touch to focus work when HDR is enabled and if the picture is saved (do not confuse touch to focus with touch to change main point of exposure)

Shot some pictures with low light

Feedback in this thread :)
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] titooo7:
If someone want to try one of the last versions of the app, then you can download it from here (shout out to Kisakuku).

The last modded version as per today 21st November is "MGC_5.1.016_7.0+C2API_v.1.3a_AllinOne.apk", but as I said the new new versions contain lot of settings that make it really time consuming to find the appropriate ones for each device.

That’s why in the OP I posted just the last version of Google Camera app with the minimum edits needed to get the HDR feature working on any Android 7.1.1 / Snapdragon 835 phones.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wilux:
Yeah I dl "MGC_5.1.016_7.0+C2API_v.1.3a_AllinOne.apk"

No working focus touch

The picture is saved

They both seem pretty bad but I'm not an expert.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] titooo7:
Are those 2 pictures that you uploaded shot with HDR On? Which settings are you using?

In OP5 depending on the combination of settings used in the app touch to focus can work or not work, but usually it’s hit and miss so it can stop working randomly.

Do you notice small dots when you zoom in on the pictures shot with GoogleCam and HDR On?

I just would like to know if OP5T has the same bugs with the ported GoogleCam has the same bugs that we have on OP5.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] AcmE85:
To make it more clear on which version and settings to use:

Please test this most recent version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=149yvCKyk2F75z_snuSjbivKF5PiWtkT9

with these settings from the screenshots: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74417844&postcount=1215

In "Advanced" settings, enable HDR+ control right at the top!

Afterwards restart the camera app (completely swipe it away from recent apps), restart it and set the HDR+ toggle to "HDR+ Enhanced".

It is also important to get some shots in daylight, as the OP5 had issues with a constantly visible dot pattern in light areas.

Also please do not upload the shots directly through the forum, as they get downsampled and compressed. Use an imagehoster like abload.de for example, or even Google Photos.

Of course it is even better to additionally post a similar shot you took with the stock camera app, so we get a better picture of how this mod works on the OP5T.

Thanks for testing!
