[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jpcdeux:
Your CSC sets itself on first boot based on the sim card in it. Unless you flash the G950W fw then flash U fw with home csc over it but idk if that method still works anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
what do you mean ?

what is G950W ? (I didn't hear about it before) and can I flash it without breaking knox ?

if that has my home csc, then why do I have to flash back G950U ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thehaXor:
Do you have root? And what's your current build?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
I don't have root.

My current build is:

NRD90M.G950U1UEU2AQK2

kernel: 4.4.16-12512977

This worked for me:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/rd-carrier-switch-root-snapdragon-t3597473

You have to root first, follow the first link in the thread before moving on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
thanks. will it affect my knox status ?

if yes, can I return to old status by unrooting ?

I need to use company vpn on this device and it needs to have no knox issues...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thehaXor:
It won't effect Knox. [MENTION=399794]mrmrmrmr[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
thanks. are you sure ?

because this means changing the ROM. and it affects KNOX on my old S6.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thehaXor:
I'm 100% sure my S8 says Knox 0x0 but it has partcyborg rom and root, it does not effect it because you are not messing with custom recovery and/or modified bootloaders. Good luck man if you need some help PM me.

Note: if Knox is tripped it would say 0x1 instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Changing "rom" does not affect Knox at least when by rom you mean /system read-only os portion. Changing boot.img or bootloader like abl or xbl is what will make Knox 0x1, and that is only if you change it to something other than one Samsung made for the device
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
thanks. good to know that. So I just download the rom and install it through Odin. Then I will have root without knox being tripped.

And I will be able to use my own country's CSC ?

Just 2 additional questions:

1. Do I have to factory reset ?

2. Shall I be able to receive Samsung firmware update ? (I guess not)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
I am looking at :

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/current-root-progress-g950u-g955u-t3623444

first post.

I see 3 methods to update but I don't see the steps ?

It's more like a "suggestions" thread. There is a link to the files required but I don't know how to use them.

Am I missing something ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pierremaximiliano:
which of the above CSC would let me use Video calling and CLI control features ?don't we have an option to flash CSC only ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
See the PartCyborgRom thread for your device
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
thanks. Where is that thread ? (I searched but could not find.)

since the following thread is a custom rom, I dont think it is the one you suggest:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-partcyborgrom-aqi6-deodexed-t3702988

And 2 questions:

1- if I change ROM &CSC now, shall I be able to upgrade automatically to Oreo when it is released ?

2- if I don't change ROM before Oreo , can I do it after my device is updated to Oreo ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
1. You can install Oreo just fine but you will have to do a wipe and full install using odin, you can't ota from custom roms.

2. You can downgrade to nougat and use PartCyborgRom for now, but be careful with updates because one could come at any time and fix the bug used to get root. As of this time there is no method for rooting Oreo. I expect one to be possible once it is launched but as with most things in life there are no guarantees.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
ok. but as I wrote when starting the thread, my biggest concern is about using a custom rom. Because then Knox will be tripped and I won't be able to use knox-bound apps and I won't be able to use company security app with vpn tunnel.

So I have to go back a few posts and continue from there. Where can I get the official rom with which I can change CSC ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Not true. Knox is ONLY tripped if you flash a custom boot.img. it doesn't care about root, or changes to /system, or cscs or any of that. System protection is handled by dm-verity usually but it's disabled in the factory boot used by the root methods, making all this possible.

Root and flash the CSC you want in flashfire. Don't sweat the 80% as if you install PartCyborgRom you will get more than that back in efficiency gains over stock, and your os will be 1.5x as fast to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
ok. so is it the thread here:

https://xdaforums.com/gal...dexed-t3702988

and what shall I have to do when Oreo is published officially ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Yes that is the thread

Probably flash it? Oreo will be as easy to flash as nougat is now eventually once its officially released and things can finally get moving
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrmrmrmr:
I will try this today. I have 3 questions:

1. Shall I lose my data ?

2. Is there a possibility of returning to stock ?

3. how shall I change CSC ? This is my main reason for flashing.

edit:

instructions say

so this causes losing data. is there a way to recover easily ?

Which truly wireless earbuds are you using with the Note 8 and you would recommend? Looking to buy one.

Been eyeing the Beoplay E8. I am more concerned about audio fidelity (for a bluetooth device) over any other factors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] opasha:
The Beoplay E8 and Apple Airpods seem to be the best for the Note 8.

very good review of a few including the two above: [youtube]BqYMxSExq6A[/youtube]

My concern is that he is testing all these using an iPhone. With the Note 8, even the codec being used changes. That is why I am looking for actual people using the Note 8 with wireless buds.

I've been using Gear Gear Iconx (2016) would love to upgrade to the 2017 model for better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
I got the 2018 icon X. They can be paired with a device or even used without one. They sound good and have good touch controls.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Willy318is:
I had the Icon X 2018, got them from B&H for $150, they were great at the beginning, but some annoynaces were like this:

1. No way to Power Off the buds without putting them back in the case, this means lots of charging/discharging the whole time.

2. Touch controls became finicky after about 2 weeks.

3. Totally subjective I know, but they hurt my ears, tried all combinations.

Back to Jaybird RUN, with latest FW Update the BT connection is rock solid, Volume is much higher than the IconX 2018, and the sound fidelity through the Jaybird App EQ settings is Superb to say the least, and I'm a musician so I know quality sound vs ... you know!

Not bad at all and super light (4 grams)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Praks93:
I have finally decided to pick up the E8. Once the Note 8 gets Oreo (which should be soon), i guess the lack of aptx will not matter much.

How is the audio delay when watching youtube videos with the latest firmware?

On a side note, there is Ashley Chloe's Fuse coming out soon. They have aptx and usb c charging! Would have considered them if they were to be available by mid february.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
1. They power off on their own when disconnected from blue tooth.

2. I've had them since Christmas and use them everyday. Touch controls work as good as they did when I got them. Not sure what exactly would make them "finicky" after working fine.

3. They literally have four different size pads. If you can't find a fit, then you got wonky ears lol.

Seems you quickly wrote off the IconX because you all ready had your mind made up. Which is fine, but let's be honest. The jaybird RUN is an icon X knockoff. And what's funny is I read more issues about the jaybird sounding bad and not fitting right. They even have the same pod case setup that Samsung uses. And surprise, surprise, they are just $15 less msrp than the icon X. You can tell they are trying to be the icon X. I'll just stick to the original that happens to also work seamlessly with my device. I'm also not sure what being a musician has to do with hearing sound quality, but hey, as long as you feel good about it...

I loved the IconX but preferred the Jaybird RUN at the end, end of story!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Willy318is:
Let's not forget that the Truely wireless "thing" is still a new "thing" they will mature with time and provide better options than what we have now.

I have gone through a bunch of them - at the holiday -, and it was like you cannot just get all the PROS from all of them into 1 set, each had their pros and cons, like anything else.

I was expecting the Bose to be the top, but with their open-ended design, the sound was very shallow and thin, maybe it was made like this by design to provide ambiance awareness or sth., Elite Sport was great too.

I use the Airpods everyday with my note 8

I use a app called "Airbattery" from the playstore to get batterystats and ear detection and it works great.

In my opinion they are the best right now, maybe not soundquality wise but the battery is great and the charging chase is even better.

If you just need a wireless headset for listening to music on the go or for during workouts then the RedMi Airdots/Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic are not bad for the price. I have been using them for a few days now, since I got mine by redeeming clubpoints with my cell provider. They are light and comfortable get the job done for a wireless listening experience. Battery life is OK. The only place they fail in is the call quality as there is literally no ambient noise filtering at all.

That said I mainly use them for listening to music on the go. They are pretty good value for under US$30.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rickpeddler:
If you favour sound quality over brand name or unnecessary features, I would highly recommend the Mavin Air-X. APTX support, volume controls, superb battery life and truly excellent sound quality. I do like the Airpods too - the Mavin's have better sound quality.

I've got a HTC 10 and trying to do something simple by replacing the file located at

/system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3

with a zero size file so that when it boots up it doesn't play.

I've copied the template from here and modified the following 2 files.

module.sh

id=disablehtcbootsound
name=Disable HTC Boot Sound
version=v1
versionCode=1
author=Raven
description=Disables HTC boot sound
template=1400

config.sh

AUTOMOUNT=true

PROPFILE=false

POSTFSDATA=false

LATESTARTSERVICE=false

print_modname() {
ui_print "*******************************"
ui_print " DISABLE HTC BOOT SOUND "
ui_print "*******************************"
}

REPLACE="
/system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3
"

set_permissions() {
set_perm_recursive $MODPATH 0 0 0755 0644
}

It installs fine but as soon as I reboot the phone it gets stuck at the green HTC logo and doesn't do anything from then on. I've checked logfile and it looks like I might be using the wrong command in config.sh. Anyone got tips on what I need to do???

Don't add the file to the REPLACE part of config.sh. That's for directories, not files. It even says so in the instructions ("List all

")...

Just add the empty file under /system/customize/resource/ in your module and you're good to go.

Ok so to make sure I've done this correctly, I've left the template config.sh untouched, put the empty mp3 under /system/customize/resource/, zip it all together and flash?

I've done just that and it still bootloops... the log seems fine this time however when I go into the magisk folder there is still nothing aside from 2 files. (update and module.prop)

I've tried flashing from TWRP and same result still.

Haha wowsers that was easy! Thanks heaps mate! All works now without the placeholder in the system folder.

For anyone who wants to have the boot sound on your HTC disabled and systemless, I have the module attached. If for some reason it causes you to bootloop, I've got an uninstaller which I used in TWRP which helped me heaps when testing haha.

Hello guys !! Does anybody here could port boeffla for kltekdi ?? There's no a custom kernel for this this device..i'm desperately looking for custom kernel right now :crying:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilpaulmathew:
Boeffla-Kernel-kltekdi-unofficial-20171205

Hi [MENTION=8732499]joey118[/MENTION]

Since you are too desperate, I find some time to help you. I managed to build Boeffla-Kernel for kltekdi (Lineage-OS version). All the credits goes to [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] as everything is based on his awesome source.

Please note: I removed charge_level interface from this kernel since it makes too much issues in building. You can enjoy all other standard features of Boeffla-Kernel.

/* Warning (Please read before use) */

1. This kernel is not tested by myself (since I do not have this device), though it should work well.

2. This kernel is no way supported by Lord Boeffla (its an unofficial build) as well as myself (since I'm not planing to continue this project).

3. Use this Kernel in your risk. No one else other than you will not take the responsibility, if something wrong happens to your device. It is highly advisable to take full back-up of your current ROM (at-least "boot" partition)

4. Please do not ask me to continue this project (I really do not have time and interest). However, you (or anyone else) are free to build this kernel using my kltekdi_defconfig which can be found here.

5. You are free to distribute this kernel to other kltekdi users. However, do not forget to distribute the above warning to avoid any future inconvenience to me as well as Lord Boeffla.

Download links can be found here... enjoy

I've had a problem the last few months with my music stuttering when I'm on wifi. This problem does not occur on 4g connection.

The problem is on any wifi network I'm on. It's really annoying. First I thought it was a Spotify problem and reinstalled the app, but that didn't help.

Music played from the player stutters as well when on wifi.
