[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fnkhan:
Thanks for the update. Yes - if I can only get hold of a non Red-pocket Sim, this can work. Since I don't have Verizon (or any other) Sim card, I was wondering if there is some other workaround to have the phone request me to restart. I suppose I would still need Verizon Sim since it uses that to configure the network.

Looking at another thread - it appears the 'configuration' that Verizon sim card does has to do with CSC codes. My phone is unbranded, so the codes are XAA (Firmware) and XAA (Network). I believe the latter has to be VZW and a Verizon Sim fixes that. Someone who has successfully used the workaround can confirm what codes are being displayed at their end. I am using 'phone info' app. Then maybe we can work to find another workaround ....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Leecewest:
My S8 is Verizon branded. It CSC is currently VZW. Under "Service provider SW ver." its VZW/VZW/VZW.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] redhatter:
So had and S8+ for months and switch to S8 active....seeing a few unique issues on the active vs S8 S8+

So on the S8 active the wireless charging can be very temperamental due to the case design

The bumpers on the S8 active tended keep it from sitting on the charger stand properly and it just won't charge you have to get it exactly centered so it drops in between the bumpers

The other odd thing I found that is once you're at 100% on the charging stand If you disturb it to look at the phone and then put it back the screen keeps cycling on and off on and off repeatedly

Very annoying when trying to sleep at night ... You have to take it off to stand to make it quit

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] UbinTook:
I just purchased a "new" refurbished "Unlocked Galaxy Note 5"

There was never an indication of any carrier attached to the sale. I use TMobile>

Phone arrived and when i powered it up , a Sprint logo pops up.

I insert a TMo sim and it works in so far as it makes calls and sends and gets texts.

But what i want to know is this:

(ive been using Nexus5 /5x phones for years)>

Is there a way to flash this particular unit to an unbranded "stock" version of either android or touch-wiz that will allow for full functionality of the device on TMO (4 G etc).

Or should i just return this to the seller?

I flashed my Nexus 5 years ago , but dont recall the process really, nothing i cant relearn easily im sure.

I appreciate your time and insight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Stevy12:
As far as I know, (have this phone for 5 days now) you should update the firmware to 7.0 and there shouldn't be any branding.

I'm in the N920PVPS3DQJ1 . Try it and comment any doubts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] UbinTook:
Already at 7.0..

[IMG="Note 5 screen shot"]https://i.imgur.com/WMwyDsV.jpg[/IMG]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] KrlzGmz:
Sprint has 2 different CSC for the Note 5: SPR and XAS. SPR is branded and XAS is generic (with some sprint apps and other modifications). You should try flashing a XAS firmware.

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm-n920p\&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1

Now, I can't say the generic XAS version will provide all T-MO functions, but it's worth a try before returning the phone.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] janis_dschi:
The max volume on op5t through headphones or bluetooth speakers is not quiet as loud as my previous phones was. I tried several sound apps from playstore but nothing worked. A few years back on my samsung s4 i was able to edit some kind of volume file in system to increase the volume.

Does anyone know apps/modules or a way to modify this "volume" file?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
Use a root explorer to open system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml and look towards the bottom for the following.

<path name="headphones">
<ctl name="SLIM RX2 MUX" value="AIF4_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX3 MUX" value="AIF4_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_6_RX Channels" value="Two" />

<ctl name="RX INT2 DEM MUX" value="CLSH_DSM_OUT" />
<ctl name="RX1 Mix Digital Volume" value="78" />

</path>

Change the RX1 and RX2 Mix Digital values to your liking. I have mine set at 84 and have not tested higher because there is no need. I love volume and it is more than ample for me.

....or you could just flash a custom kernel that supports sound control and make the necessary adjustments that way. These work for wired headphones, not bluetooth.

One thing to remember, anytime you flash an update you will have to go back and edit the mixer_paths_tasha.xml
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] janis_dschi:
In oos ob2 there isnt such file.. does it have an other Method?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
Im not familiar with OB2 but the 8.1 custom roms all have that file in /vendor/etc, try there. If not you can flash a kernel that has sound control and use a kernel manager to increase the headphone gain.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] janis_dschi:
When i edit mixer_paths_tasha.xml on codename phoenix 8.1 rom it doesnt work. But on aicp 8.1 it works?? Do you have any clue why? :D
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
It should work. You might have to mount vendor or root directory "/" to RW, I had to do this on the unofficial RR in order to save the file. On Codename Phoenix have you checked the values to see fi they did indeed save as what you changed them to?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] janis_dschi:
It works but the volume steps that are added arent increasing the volume. 1/4 of the last steps are the same volume. I also have a custom kernel with volume support but this doesnt help on Bluetooth devices.. do you know any bluetooth increaser or a file to edit bluetooth volume?

I checked several times. It saved
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] xchikyx:
any help with this? I checked this and did it but haven't helped... in my case the audio is fine some times, but other times, especially after i get a call or instagram plays audio, the audio of my phone decides to be incredibly low and I have no idea how to fix it... restarting the phone does nothing

Hey so i need literally any way to root this tablet, ive been able to unlock the bootloader (easiest bootloader on the planet) but havent been able to find a compatable twrp.

i just need a custom recovery that will work or p much any root ideas, i would consider a full custom firmware as well.

i considered compiling a twrp but i dont know how i would get the source files for it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insomn1ac:
how did you unlock bootloader and did you ever figure out how to root it? going through same thing now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb881122:
Kind of an old thread and old device now, but I own one myself (branded Packard Bell) and just figured this all out, so here goes:

Root

This one is really easy now thanks to a MediaTek flaw. Just go to https://github.com/JunioJsv/mtk-easy-su, download the latest release, install the APK on the device, and run it by opening the app and pressing the button in the lower-right corner (still works on this since the latest security patch level AFAIK is from 2017). Note that this gives root temporarily, so you will need to run it again after reboot if you want root again.

Bootloader Unlock

When Kenvarus said "easiest bootloader on the planet", I took a guess at the method and it worked:

Back up any important data on your tablet, as this will factory reset it.

Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer if they are not installed, including drivers. For Fastboot (as that can be tricky sometimes), it "just worked" for me and I think Windows used an Amazon driver I had installed for my KF2. YMMV.

If you haven't already, enable Development Settings by going to Settings->About tablet and tapping the build number 7 times.

Go to Settings->Developer options (switch them on if they're off) and enable the "OEM unlocking" toggle.

In the same menu, enable "USB debugging" if it is not enabled already.

Connect the tablet to your computer, confirming the authorization prompt that pops up if it wasn't connected before. Check whether the connection is good with the "adb devices" command if needed.

Run the command "adb reboot bootloader", this gave me a blank screen.

Use the "fastboot devices" command to make sure the Fastboot connection works.

Run the command "fastboot oem unlock".

Press Volume Up when the text-mode confirmation screen pops up on the tablet.

Once the unlock procedure is complete, reset the tablet. You should see text on your bootscreen saying "Orange State" and a factory reset on the first reboot if it worked.

WARNING: I highly recommend charging your battery to be at least 10-20% filled before doing this. I stupidly did this at 1% battery thinking "it's plugged in anyway" and had quite the time rebooting after unlocking the bootloader (I thought it was bricked for a good hour or so, only after walking away for 20 minutes to eat dinner did I see that the battery was now at 20% and I could boot the tablet).

After unlocking the bootloader and temp-rooting it with the above app, I was able to use Magisk to patch the boot image (using dd to shuttle the files to and from /dev/block/mmcblk0p10, use "strings saved_boot_partition_name|head -n1" and check for "ANDROID!" to make sure it's the right partition) and I now have persistent root after all these years (note that Direct Install in Magisk doesn't work here). I'd definitely be interested in a custom recovery and/or ROMs for this device, but I'm not holding my breath (I'd take a crack at it if I knew better how to do it, but I have near-zero experience with ROM development and so far have only recompiled existing ROMs for a few phones).

V2 work better than v3 in Galaxy S8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] miniuser123:
Could you please elaborate please? There were no intended changes that could affect quality on default settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eruanii:
Your port have been super amazing. Im using s8 Plus and Note 8 Exynos and Ive completely ditch the stock camera (except for videos). Medium hdr parameter+pixel 2xl works best for me (anything higher has no signjficant improvement from medium) as it reduces noise and artifacts on lowlight so I'm kinda curious, will there be any way to improve the shutter speed at these settings?

More powers to you and you should be considered an international treasure for Exynos users!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnybr99:
Is there a fix coming for noisy portrait shots from FFC? In v2 the shots turned out great when there were no purple artifacts, but now, even though artifacts are gone, sharpness is too high.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tanvir741:
Awesome work! And thanks for opening a new thread here ?

Wishlist:

-Front Camera image flipped/mirrored by default.

-Opening Camera directly in Portrait Mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gambit3rd:
First of all, thanks.

A question, if you can: On S7 (Note 8 Exynos here) touch focus won't work? I don't talk about exposure, I mean the focus. If I have an object in sight and want to focus it (macro style), if I touch on it then the focus will go far away. On the panorama/scene behind the object. And the object on the front line will be blurred. Only way to focus is to move the phone then center it on the object.

Again, thank you. Selfies are great with your port. Shame on Samsung. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Theking haha:
Hello, what is the difference between model chosed? And also do hdr parameters really make a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eruanii:
What phone are you using? Model wouild make certain options appear such as face retouching etc. Quality, I dont really see any big difference. Paramaters for me has significantly improve lowlight performance though there are also cons such as darker images in stiuations that subject is against the light. Medium parameter has given me less noisy images.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thavishalovesme:
This wont be necessary, as there are people who take pictures just with the camera and rarely use portrait mode... Lets try to keep the app as default as possible. Peace :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nvrmndryo:
I am OK with this. But whole point of this app is to take portraits!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adam.nephin:
Thank you! This worked for me too. Portrait mode is now working as well. Slow motion and video recording still not working but definitely an improvement!

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

For anyone that has been unable to get video recording working I have found a workaround. When trying to take videos in normal video mode, it doesn't work; however, if you have AR Stickers installed and try taking a video through this mode, it works fine. It doesn't save the video to the gallery, but if you use a file explorer, they still appear in the DCIM folder with the pictures.

I still would love to see more S7/S8/NOTE 8 Gcam vs Google Pixel 2 comparisons

Especially with portraits and with actual faces
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] g2uzer:
No just No...

This Thread was never meant to be, I repeat- NEVER meant to be a Photo Comparison Thread.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] slamnyx:
I guess if you make a Gcam app, you want it to look as good as when you use it on the source which is Google pixel 2..?

Otherwise what is the point.

When you port an app, you definitely want to make sure you get the best results. That is the main purpose of doing it...!

I don't expect the app to be perfect, it has been really great using it, and its still my main camera app.

But I don't like to be blind, I like to see what I am getting.

Thats why those comparisons can be so useful

And it can help people decide what phone they want
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Reza7612:
I think a good comparison between gcam ported camera app with the orginal app can help to developers to optimize app for an special phone.May be a developer can not acess to a google pixel phone but if he can see a good comparison between the ported app and the orginal app he can realease a perfect app. I decided to upgrade my s7 edge only to acess to better camera but with this ported camera i saved my money. If we can help to users to save money and enjoy their camera phone with a good comperison , why not ?? Many people first like see the results of a ported app before using .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ens0:
You can literally search for those comparisons on Google if you are not lazy lol and the perfect settings?? No such thing.. just search the thread and play around with what people have used for their settings. This thread is suppose to be for s7 users not s8 or s9. If it works on s8 and s9 great!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bleak3993:
Speaking about comparisons... I updated the folder with more pictures, I'm pretty sure Google cam is almost 90% of the time better than Samsung's.

Specs. Exynos s7. Superman ROM.

Samsung: Zeroprobe 2:3 (sharpness:denoise), 98%JPEG, HDR Always ON.

Google: Enhanced HDR, Live HDR, Mixed speed (slow shutter-1/10). Stock mostly.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/wAMV1KsPOFQy1BZg2

** Check on INFO to see what camera has taken the picture **

Note that, I have steady hands and taking pictures on Google cam is way slower than Samsung's. Mostly if I need to take a quick picture, I use Samsung, but if O have the time, usually I take the same scene with both.
