[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Go check out CarHDROM. He has ported a Note 8 ROM for the 8+. Very nice and has built in a number of things you will not find on stock, built-in.

I can agree that initial messing about with rooting, setting up a custom ROM can take a little time, it's hardly more than a stock ROM. Some folks have to re-do things to get it just right, but once done, it can be spectacular. 'Rolling your own' can have it's own 'rewards', as it allows for some creativity beyond the stock ROM, and there are a good number of things you can do with a rooted phone, that you can not with a stock phone.

If you are new to rooting, etc, there is a learning curve that can be tranquilly taken over short hours, to days to weeks. Tranquil. The Samsung Odin software and the how to's are pretty straight forward to follow, and most of the time folks here are available to help, though that is not always 'guaranteed'. Some posts/requests for help sit idle either longer than the OP would like, or just remain static, though that is not an often case.

I ran the same custom ROM on my old iPhones, OnePlus One, G3, and once setup with a nice custom ROM, did not change them out.

CarHDROM is very well established, and version v9 (last Nougat) is very stable and very extended with it's added abilities. Carotix takes a lot of time with the users.

That ROM is now on v10 (Orego beta), and going through it's growing pains.

I have v9. Smooth, trash free, and well thought out.

I think all the versions are available for download/use.

It is worth checking out.

At any rate, either stock or custom, the 8/8+ is a great phone.

In the (motorcycle) biking side of life there is a saying for (legitimate) bike owners: "Ride it like you stole it".

Have fun with your S8.

Hi,

is it already possible to execute .jar-files on Android? If yes, how? What are the requirements doing it? I have tried JBED but it doesn't work.

I'm not a developer but can you convert a jar.-file into an .apk with some adjustments with a noob friendly tool?

Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] markfehnjr:
I have a Sprint Mogul that is less then 3 months old that I update about two months ago to the newest rom out to get my BT headset to work (still didn't). Now in the last 4 days the phone either won't start or keeps shutting off an rebooting itself. I get no errors and every once in a while the phone will act normal for about 20 minutes then go back to doing it. I'm about to flash it again with the same rom but is there any other solution... Help!!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] taxilian:
I would recommend reflashing the ROM. if you're using the stock rom, and you haven't done the hard-spl hack, that will probably take care of the problem.

Alternately, you could try doing the latest mods and install a good custom firmware, which could take care of the problems and give you Rev A and GPS, which I find to be fun, if nothing else.

[Android General] Daniel.R:
Install TWRP recovery Bluboo S8+

I am not responsible for what may happen to your equipment ...

1_ Before you start you have to have an SD card in your smartphone which should not be like internal storage.

_ SuperSu Twrp are at the beginning of the forum

2_ On the SD card We copy the SuperSu.zip file

3_ Install on the PC: ADB_RUN_4.3.3.1

4_ Install on the PC: Sp_Flash_Tool_v5.1.1744.00.000

5_ Download in PC file: TWRP with MT6750_Android_scatter (Trwp and scatter must be in the same folder)

6_ Download driver: ADB Driver Installer

We start from here steps with the cell phone

7_ We connect the cell phone on to the PC activate the PROGRAMMER OPTIONS being connected to the PC: OEM unlocking and USB DEPURATION (If they already have them activated they turn it off and on again to recognize the cell phone).

8_ Now in the folder you downloaded (step 6) the ADB Driver Installer driver will give you to run on the cell phone screen you are given to confirm connect from this PC

9_ Execute ADB_RUN: enter the NUMBER 7 (Unlock Bootloader) with the keyboard and enter Enter on the PC

10_ Unlock menu bootloader: enter NUMBER 3 (Unlock / Lock Nexus, Pixel, Others) Press Enter on PC

11_ Bootloader Unlock and Lock: SELECT 1 Press Enter on the PC (the cell restarts in the adb menu)

12_ SELECT 2 Press Enter on PC

13_ On the cell Press twice (-) volume twice the volume to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader

14_ We disconnected the cell phone from the PC if restart it turned it off

15_ We execute SP_Flash_Tool in PC on the right in scatter-loading file (where it says choose) select the path the scatter file where TWRP is should the recovery loaded in the SP Flash tool window appear (important it must be marked Download Only do not change anything else )

16_ If the recovery is loaded in SP & Flash, select the green arrow Download

16_ Now connect the cellphone Off you must install TWRP appears OK on the PC screen ready Disconnect

17_ We turn the cell phone on We connect it to the PC running ADB RUN: SELECT 2 Enter

18_ SELECT 4 (Reboot Recovery) Enter

19_ Enter the TWRP menu select the language below the whole slide the arrow to confirm changes

if you ask for a password ,you selectc cancel and continue

20_ In TWRP menu install look for the folder that SuperSu has installed

The first time TWRP it starts from ADB RUN the recovery after they install Twrp from the play store they give root permission to the app twrp and they start the recovery from the app

If you want to delete get full seleniux supor in Twrp you have to do factory reset all the data is lost before doing that make a backup on the SD card from TWRP

Good luck reading the steps well

To go in recovery mode

After flashing the recovery, remove the USB cable, press volume- and reconnect the cable to reboot in android-test-mode (or After flashing the recovery, for first reboot, press VOL- and ON to go to the test page of the smartphone) to prevent the smartphone from loading the system and returning the original recovery.

When you are in the test page (a line with chinese charactere), open CMD, type ADB REBOOT RECOVERY and TWRP is loading.. (works really all times). Done

Might be i choose Format all+ download instead of Firmware upgrade lead into brick. But i only can proceed flashing with alert that some PMT warning! that i should run Format all+download to proceed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philipp900:
Since a few weeks already I noticed higher battery drain on my phone.

It seems that "mediaserver" is the source of my issue.

Mediaserver is showing a lot of active time.

As well as "video on".

After a lot of testing, I found out that at least 2 of my other apps are causing mediaserver to be active.

Both "com.ihg.apps.android" and "de.number26.android" are having a animated background (video playing in loop).

It seems that even if I go back to the homescreen or multitask to another app, the video keeps playing in background and draining the battery.

By using "top | grep mediaserver" through adb shell you can see the CPU going from 0% to 2%-3%.

I tried this with 2 phone:

Xiaomi Note 2 with Resurrection Remix 5.8.3, Android 7.1.2

Samsung Galaxy A5 2017, Android 7.0

Are these apps both poorly programmed?

Can the behaviour of Android be changed to stop the video once the app is in background?

At least on my Samsung it seems that the video gets paused most of the time.

But this could also be caused by killing the app earlier due to it's lesser amount of RAM.

Can any of you verify that or give any advice on how to avoid that kind of battery drain?
