FYI -- the US offer was extended a couple of weeks:
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
Anyone get their $100 yet? I got an email for the Home Mini telling me it was "coming soon".
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] djoe069:
Not for me :

Ordered the 28 November and no coupon or mail for the google mini and no credits.

I think that is normal : the 100$ may be credited in 4 weks.

"Customers will receive an email notifying them of their store credit and Google Home Mini Promo code within 4 weeks of purchase."

I have checked your order and can confirm that you are eligible for Google Store credit promotion.

Google Support 12:50 PM

You should receive the promo code within 6 weeks after shipping of your order.

Me 12:50 PM

The promotion stated it should be 4 weeks

Google Support 12:50 PM

I am quite positive that you'll receive the code by the next week-end.

Me 12:52 PM

I chatted with another support agent last week and they stated it would be 4 weeks from ship date. Why do you keep changing the time frame?

Google Support 12:52 PM

Due to unexpected volumes, we are facing some issues with promo codes and hence it has been delayed by two weeks.

Google Support 12:52 PM

I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you due to this.

Me 12:53 PM

How do you have supply issues on a store credit?

Google Support 12:54 PM

There is some technical error in the tool we use to generate the code and our team is working on it.

Google Support 12:54 PM

If it would have working, I had generated this for you right away.

Google Support 12:54 PM

I hope you understand our limitations.

Google Support 12:55 PM

Please be assured our team is working quickly to get back up to speed and we’re aiming to send codes within the next week-- ideally even sooner.

Me 12:56 PM

I don't understand your system or the limitations, but that is OK. I don't think I should have to ring up support when you are having a system wide technical issue. You should have sent an email to all effected customers explaining the situation.

Google Support 12:58 PM

We thank you for your patience and understanding. I agree with you and will pass your comments to the concerned team.

Hello again,

Sorry to turn this topic into a monologue.

but have others received their credits?

Because I wanted to buy the wireless headset "pixel buds"

but all delays go to 3/4 weeks of delay.

the only model available (early January) is the black version.

And from my side still no news from google? !!?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] clcdev:
As far as I know, no deadline to use the credit, however, home mini code must be used by end of Feb.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
4-6 weeks from ship date for the store credit. make sure you already have created a google store credit account under google store.. so that it goes to your account automatically.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] djoe069:
@ NOSTALGIA

where did you have this information ?

"4-6 weeks from ship date for the store credit. make sure you already have created a google store credit account under google store.. so that it goes to your account automatically. "

Because

I contacted customer service several times.

But they do not know when we will be delivered credits and coupons.

the only answer I got ... is that I'll have everything "soon"

What annoys me the most is that Google does not respect these conditions of promotion "cyber monday"

and that does not bother anyone?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Nope, doesn't bother me at all.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] frozenthorn:
Yeah this promotion seems pretty poorly executed, very unlike my experience with Google in the past. I've always got the promotions quickly, often same day as I ordered. I still don't have my $100 credit or google mini code from my order on Nov 30th, they said on the phone few days ago that it's 4-6 weeks from ship date and that almost nobody was getting them before the 6th week so I don't know why it said a "few" weeks when I ordered it. I get that they don't want people using the promotions then returning the phones but its not like they can't make a note who got promotional credit and deduct that from refunds...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidmi:
I finally got the email about the $100 store credit just past the 4 week mark. However, the store credit did not show up in my account as per the instructions in the email.

I called Google store support and later followed up via email. The last email I got from Google store support was that they were still investigating the issue and will let me know when there's an update. They didn't provide an ETA on when it would be resolved. I'm not sure what to do next besides wait for a reply that may or may not come.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
it should be there .. just wait.. delays will always happen whatever effort done..

[MENTION=3125148]KennyG123[/MENTION] he is asking me where i got the information. do you know where?? lol

That's odd. I did get an email but I deleted it. It said something like you have credit so good to go. I didn't have to do what you are describing there. I was simulating a purchase and as I was checking out it auto credited so I didn't have to do anything. They just put it in my google account.

Hey guys :)

My question is in the title... I am running B398 last update, on FRD-L09. My bootloader is unlocked. I am wondering if I can just flash official SuperSU 2.82 with ADB, or if I need a modded SuperSU to get the root. Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english) :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] TomTheGeek3:
i've been using magisk 14.5 stock and root works, i don't know about supersu on B398. i'd say just try magisk.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] xWarr3n:
Thanks :)

By the way I have a question please... I upgraded my Honor 8 from B360 to B398 using RedLotus. On my settings, my EMUI version is 5.0.1, but the build number still B360. Do you know why ? :/
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] TomTheGeek3:
FRD-L09? did you flash the modded stock recovery? that sounds like EMUI didn't want to install it or the package was corrupted for B398.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] xWarr3n:
Thanks for the reply. It's an original FRD-L09, not rebranded or anything. I flashed the modded stock recovery, i followed all the steps. The only strange thing i see : you know when you flash a rom with HiSuite using RedLotus method, during flash there is a RedLotus window with details of the operations. On this window, at the end of the flash, i saw it only flashed the update.zip, and not the vendor file update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip. I see only the name of update.zip in the RedLotus window. Is that normal ?

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] johninor:
I have purchased both the G5 Plus and the G5S Plus and am trying to decide which one to return and which to keep. I got the G5 Plus 64GB version for $200 and the G5S Plus 32GB version for $210.

I really prefer larger screens, so I really want the G5S Plus, but I am worried about the camera and all the bad reviews I've read. I don't need the best camera, I just need the camera to be good enough for me. I don't need depth effects or any other fancy effects. My main use of the camera is for taking close ups in sometimes low light conditions. I have a Nexus 6 right now and the camera often takes a long time to focus in this situation. It hunts for a focus and often by the time I touch the screen to take the picture the camera has lost the focus it had just a second ago. Then I have to delete and retake the photo.

If the Moto G5S Plus is better than my Nexus 6 in this situation, then I will probably be happier with its larger screen. If it is as bad or worse as my Nexus 6, then I'll want the G5 Plus, assuming it is better in that situation. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] sensi277:
In good light, the cameras are about equivalent. The lower the amount of light in the scene, the better the G5 Plus holds up over the G5S Plus.

That said, neither are likely going to be as good as your Nexus 6.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] internetpilot:
I just came from a Nexus 6 to the G5S+ and I can confirm what sensi277 says -- the camera is nowhere near as good. That being said, the flash on the G5S+ is VASTLY superior to the flash on the Nexus 6, because the G5S+ flash offers much more natural light/tone rather than the Nexus 6 blue-ish LED type flash. So if you can use the flash I would say that the end results could be just about equal. If it's any consolation, the G5S+'s front cam blows the doors off the Nexus 6's front cam. I also like the camera app in the G5S+ much more than the Google Camera app on the Nexus 6.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] johninor:
OP here. I'm following up here to thank all for the info and to report on my experience. I ended up keeping the G5 plus. I did not try the G5S plus, so it may not be relevant here, but this is where I asked the question.

For my usage the G5 plus camera is noticeable better than my Nexus 6. In the low light closeups I take, it focuses better and much faster than my Nexus 6. I'm not really evaluating the quality of the images - all I need to do is read the text in the photos.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Sry to hijack this thread.

I'm on a Moto G 2014 (titan) at the moment and I want to buy a new mobile after Christmas.

I'm between the Moto G 5 plus and the Moto G 5s plus.

Here in germany both models are only available with 32 GB/3 GB ram and the 5s ist about 30 € more.

I heard that only the Moto G 5 plus can handle two SIM cards and a SD, with the 5s you have to decide whether you use two SIM cards or one SIM and one SD.

On the other hand the 5s has the bigger screen, the full metal casing and dual camera.

Kernel source isn't available yet for the 5s so that's the reason that there are less roms and no official twrp?

What would you recommend? Is the 5s worth the 30 € more?

I don't care too much about camera but the bigger screen would be nice.

How are your experiences?

Thanks for every reply.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] sensi277:
I have to correct you on at least one point there. The Moto G5S Plus kernel sources have been released since before the phone was even out in the U.S.

The only question I'd ask is, can you live with only one SIM or only 32GB of storage? If the answer is no, then the G5 Plus might be the better choice.

If you don't need the dedicated secondary SIM/SD slots, and want a larger screen, I can't say many bad things about the G5S Plus. I don't know if it's worth an additional €30 to you, though; that's a decision you're going to have to weigh for yourself.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Phazmos:
I will say - with 64 bit Oreo this device performs like my 6p. Imo - it's worth the extra $30 for bigger screen.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] stifler7:
Heyy Wolfcity.. I remember i had a small conversation (via pm) with you a couple of months ago when i had to use titan.

Good to see you here. Well i skipped buying the OP5T and bought the Moto G5S plus (4+64gb one) and really glad i did that. This phone is really worth every penny and it runs and handles everything buttery smooth just as my Nexus6P. Development wise it might be bit slow but its picking up and there are a couple of good roms out there already.

As for you question, Moto G5S has a bigger screen and feels more premium along with the metal casing just like my Nexus6p.

The dual camera with depth mode does not work on custom roms 8.0/8.1 so basically its just like MotoG5 (with the single camera). Rest everything works fine and no complaints. If you are coming from a titan you will appreciate the amazing battery life and instant performance.

Moto G5 is already well established and you have a lot of custom roms to choose from (if thats you thing), if not then i would say 30€ extra for a metal body+bigger screen+front flash+dual camera is definitely worth it. This thing is good with stock rom and gives amazing results with just stock+custom kernel setup.

Good luck with your decision.

And P.S i gave this Phone to my Mum and i Stuck with my Nexus6P (only because Nexus has the best camera + no bugs at all and lots and lots of dev support and i frigging missed 2k amoled 5.7" screen!!!! haha). Gonna be holding out for Pixel XL 3 now.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] iceemn:
Hi,

I was also trying to decide between G5 and G5S 64gb before Christmas. The larger screen and dual camera almost made me pull the trigger, even at the higher cost. However I read on the Lenovo forum that the G5S has a serious design flaw.... the dual camera lenses are getting dust on the inside. The 3.5 mm jack was moved to the top of the phone just to the left of the dual cameras, and the seal is not good. So the G5S was a no go for me, even though I'm not into taking pictures with a camera phone. I got the G5 and don't miss the extra .3 inch screen space that I had on my previous 5.5 screen (OnePlus One).
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
.....

.....

.....

Thank you all guys, got a lot of new information now.

Sadly in Germany the 64gb version isn't available, neither the 5g plus nor the 5g s plus. But with a SD card that's ok for me and because the 5g plus can handle two SIM cards and a SD at the same time I think it will be the 5g plus for me.

Thx!:svetius:

How to install Magisk & Xposed? I keep getting bootloops.. "no digest file found"

So I have a Pixel XL, stock, nougat 7.1.2 (Aug NHGE47Q).

I have tried the following steps:

Boot TWRP 3.1.1-1

Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1

Flash Elemental 7.1.2 kernel

Flash newest Magisk 14.5 beta (since 14.0 doesn't support pixel, right?)

Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1

What am I doing wrong?

I tried it a few times and no good. I did notice it says something about "no digest file found", which I assume is the problem.. ? I tried a combination of things like with and without wiping cache/dalvik. Or not flashing TWRP at the end. I search around and couldn't find updated instructions on this process. Help will be appreciated!

P.S. Also, if I update to Oreo, I can't get Xposed, right? (as in the systemless version via Magisk) because that's the only reason why I haven't updated yet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Veid71:
I'm not sure about Oreo I think you can but you can't get certain modules or things like Xposed but double check that cuz I'm not sure

Secondly if you wanna flash 14.2 or 14.3 at the bottom of the magisk post where you download it will have the different versions to choose from any version after 14.0 supports the pixel

try flashing magisk by itself and see if that helps I know when I flash it with anything else it just doesn't show up and doesn't work but if you want when it bootloops flash the uninstaller and flash your boot image and that will fix the bootloop but do it again copy the log from twrp and put it on your computer and upload it here it will say exactly where it fails and what's wrong with it so we can help better
