[General Questions and Answers] noremacyug:
So I’ve been out of the Android game for a while, but think I’m going to come back. I’ve been pretty happy with the Mac ecosystem for the past 3 or so years but lately ios11 seems to have borked my 6s+ as well as my wife’s 6s. That coupled with the plethora of seemingly good $250 range android phones available from GearBest, etc makes a strong case for making the switch back to android. But I have a few questions for you guys that are up to date in the android realm.

1 - any Chinese brands I should avoid due to poor build quality and being prone to failures?

2 - any Chinese brands that are known to be of a good quality build?

3 - best way to cope with the loss of iMessage? A lot of pictures and videos are exchanged between my wife and I of our child (soon to be children). I don’t want to exchange videos that looked to have been filmed on a kumquat.

3 - best way to send pics/vids to the iOS users in the family circle?

4 - I’m assuming people are still rooting and running custom roms......what are the popular, stable custom roms people are using? Cyanogen mod still a thing?

Thanks in advance for the help. I’ve recently sold my atv4, Mac mini and am currently attempting to sell my MacBook Air. Have already purchased a google home mini to test out and looking at the chrome books now. If I make the switch I plan on embracing google’s ecosystem.

1- the cloned devices and try to avoid buying mtk based devices

2. Huawei and Xiomei ( well know for their good phone and cheap prices )

3. Google photos where you can sync photos over gmail ( from iphone to android and vice versa)

Or by using Send anywhere app :

also there is a copy on playstore:

4.There is LineageOS now (CM dead now but LOS is the CM in a new name and a new uniform)

AOSPA Android Paranoid

and more like the Resurrection remix etc

Thanks for the reply. Ive kind of narrowed in on the ZTE axon 7, the Lenovo zuk z2 or the xiaomi mi a1. The first two have a snapdragon 820 and the ZTE seems to be the most feature packed of the bunch. Any issues with ZTE in general? I’m fixing to see what custom rims are available for the zuk and ZTE. I prefer a pretty barebones, vanilla android rom.

Sorry for posting this because I googled and it came up with lots of unrelated answer.

How to lock the setting screen on Android? I wanted to lock my parents phone so they don't disable their sims card and complain they can't call anyone...

Like in the store demo, you can play with the phone without password but it requires password to use setting screen

I prefer without extra apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dethzord:
I was able to get live wallpaper working after reading some posts (running a rooted SM-G930V on nougat). Things were dandy... Until they weren't. Unlocked the phone one day, found that my live wallpaper was not loaded. Also, I had a theme from the Samsung theme deal, and not only did it not load, I found it no longer installed.

Anyhow, once this happened, I found that while I still have the ability to select a live wallpaper, that it does not apply when set. In other words, I choose "Set as wallpaper" and pick either home or home and lock screens, return to my home screen, and there's no live wallpaper. During testing, I set a static image just fine. This image stays even after I select the live wallpaper.

I have tried installed various apps related to setting the live wallpaper (Google Wallpaper, Pixel Launcher, Live Wallpapers Shortcut, etc). All allow me to pick the live wallpaper, but none of them actually seems to apply it.

Anyone run into this and have a solution? If not, suggestions on what direction to go from here? Could there be maybe a file/folder that somehow got set to read only so it won't apply?

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

This root works.. but it kills NFC and Beam, Is that a known issue?

I tried this out about 15-20 different times this weekend. I was trying to get obtain root without losing NFC or Beam. (I need NFC on a daily basis).

Galaxy S7 Edge SC-02H (Docomo)

I have no problem installing TWRP. I can get root by either SuperSU or Magisk. Both kill NFC though.

I have tried so many different procedures.

1) Flash stock room (see below *) using Odin 3.12.3 and 3.12.5 (.5 works better)

As soon as installation was complete, I tested out NFC to make sure it works. It does. Then configured Developer options.

2) Then install TWRP (3.1.1 and 3.2.1) via Odin 3.12.5

3) Format then wiped (I also tried wipe without formatting)

4) Installed Magisk via TWRP. (I tried SuperSU as well)

5) Rebooted to system. I also tried Wiped cache, then reboot to system.

6) Once booted up, the first thing I did was check and see if NFC or Beem work. No.

Next I installed Magisk Manager app. I tried the one posted here. Also tried updating to the latest. And also tried installing the latest version of Magisk first.

I tested out root by using ES explorer and opening up the root directory. It worked.

I checked to see if NFC or Beam worked afterwards.. no.

7) Deleted bloatware. Followed this post's Step 5 exactly as is. Root stilled worked. NFC still didn't work.

So as much as I tried.. is it a known that NFC will not work if rooted?

* Firmwares tried:

SC02HOMU1BRG1

SC02HOMU1BRE1

SC02HOMU1BQL3

SC02HOMU1CRH5 (8.0)

SC02HOMU1BQC5 (Travis82's Nougat firmware)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] audioqueso:
3.1.1, 3.2.1 and 3.2.3

They all worked. I had originally started working with 3.1.1 and 3.2.1. However, I tried the latest 3.2.3 because I couldn't get NFC to work. I did it just to give it a try.

But all three versions that I listed had no problem installing.

How to install TWRP on Galaxy S7 Edge (SC-02H)

TWRP Installation:

1) Download and installed Odin 3.12.5 (or the latest)

2) Turn off phone. Pressed and hold Volume Down+Home+Power at the same time to get to Download Mode. Once you see the Download Mode page, let go of the buttons. Press Volume Up to accept. (To cancel, press Volume Down )

3) Open Odin and click on AP. Load the TWRP file from your computer.

4) On the second tab of Odin, uncheck "Auto-reboot" (you need to have auto reboot disabled in order to successfully install TWRP). Press 'Start'.

5) Once the Odin status changes to a green "Pass", the installation is complete.

At this point, your phone will still be in Download Mode screen. For this step only, you will need to do two steps back to back. First, press and hold Vol.Down+Home+Power in order to get the phone out of the Download Mode screen.

As soon as the screen changes, press Volume UP+Home+Power.

You will see TWRP load.

That's it. You have successfully loaded TWRP.

From here on out, you will need to press Vol. Up+Home+Power in order to boot into TWRP. If you reflash your phone back to stock firmware using Odin, you will lose TWRP and will need to repeat these steps in order to install TWRP again.

Very thank, im removed almost bloat of AU. But, what happen if i dont have CSC folder? and how to add Vietnamese laguage to SCV33 (AU) stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] OFz:
I am also struggling about this. I think the problem only concerns TWRP or Root. However I think the problem is TWRP, because when I flash stock rom, nfc ok. Next, i flash TWRP (not root yet), nfc has been disabled now. So i think TWRP causes this problem. However, if i reflash stock recovery, everything remains unchanged, NFC is still turned off. so it is very contradictory.

Now I think of a test, after installing all (root), backing up all android. Then flash again with stock rom, check NFC. Finally, restore the backup. The goal is to completely remove the TWRP from the process but still root the device. I hope it will work. Will try if i have the time :(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gangsta101:
I've got my phone setup with a Fido (Canada) data SIM and MTN (Nigeria) SIM for roaming in the second slot. I am using a sim adapter so a 128gb Samsung memory card is also hooked in. For some reason the MTN roaming SIM will not receive calls, most callers to that SIM card are told the number isn't available. However, if I switch off the second data SIM, the First SIM will then be able to receive calls without any problems. I've taken out the sim adapter and memory card, but this still persists.

Has anyone experienced this before or know a way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shollywood:
So the phone is not a dual-SIM phone, it is only with the "adapter"?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gangsta101:
It is a dual SIM phone alright. These hybrid dual SIM can either take two SIM cards or one SIM card and a memory card. If you want all 3, then you need to use an adapter to achieve that.

Hi Guys,

My relative has a stock Australian S7 SM-G930F which has an issue trying to boot, it was running standard optus firmware and just stopped working one day, stuck at samsung screen.

So I tried to perform a factory reset from recovery and still same issue it cannot access the EFS partition.

So I go to try to load a stock firmware and same issue.

I found this article which looks like it should restore access to the EFS partition https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-fix-efailed-to-mount-efs-invalid-t2858056 but whenever I try to load a custom recovery I get FRP lock so it looks like from my reading I am stuck and my relative now has a flashy brick?

Cannot seem to get ADB to work I assume because it has never had USB debugging enabled.

It has never been rooted, custom firmware or anything.

The only thing that works is download mode with ODIN. But since EFS is corrupted/inaccessible and FRP is locked I don't see a solution.

Anyone come across this issue before and how to solve?

It is not under warranty and is slightly damaged so not worth sending back for repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] zevion:
Same case

Exactly the same case with me. My device stuck on "Galaxy S7 logo", when I tried to enter recovery mode , got message failed to mount /efs, already tried to flashing with original rom, but still the same.

Then I tried to install twrp,but I got FRP locked.

If anyone can help us maybe there's some steps that I've missed :( :(

How has watch not received more support

Just wondering why this watch hasn't received more support from the developer community.

550 mAh (battery life is very good).

IP67

Doesn't look too ugly.

can pair with iphone (through ANCS-NC service) and receive notifications (as well as android).

I need a developer to start tweaking this thing, as the weather app doesn't work properly, I would like to give the hr monitor and gps a workout with a running app (none on stock rom) and I would like the bluetooth to have automatic reconnection (maybe through polling) to iOS devices.

Maybe I should learn how to do it myself (sighs as about to go on another programming learning tangent).
[Other SmartWatches] clayq:
I agree - i looked through a lot of watches and this had the best specs (including battery). Maybe some people don't like the design, I was thinking about colouring in the grey numbers with a black pen (to make more stealth).
[Other SmartWatches] rowdy15:
and also

and also I would like to be able to dim the watch a looooot more in darker environments.

like a slider with a much lower minimum (not sure if it's actually possible).

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

here is a link to a stack overflow chat about the ANCS service I was talking about.

ios-ancs-notifications-to-android-via-ble on stackoverflow

Good on Lemfo for developing the rom to work with the ANCS service, but does need more development.
[Other SmartWatches] rowdy15:
bluetooth to iOS (ANCS service)

Actually the Bluetooth is not that bad. You just need to make sure that you check connection from your iphone and press connect on iphone if not connected.

Haven't fully tested it yet, but this ANCS service also allows receiving phone calls from your watch (haven't tried it yet though).

Does anyone have the stock ROM for this watch?
