seems like you all have agreed that flush screen is vastly more comfortable.

What is your experience with finger print marks on the surface and effectiveness of various screen protectors... do they slide around with out borders keeping them in place??
[General Topics] TorxT3D:
flush FTW.

going from a bezeled 6700 to flush touch, is marvelous and makes touchscreening alot easier.
[General Topics] sonus:
+1 for flush, in additon to the huge functional benefits it also

1. helps avoid dirt buildup in the corners,

2. makes the screen look bigger as it is no longer overshadowed by the phone's border,

3. and looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing.

I can't answer the screeen protector question as I think they look tacky, but from reading the boards, ppl say they have no problem sticking. As far as fingerprints, yea my touch cruise does get fingerprints, but I wipe them off regularly, and I use the incuded oem suede/microfiber form fitting pouch which tends to clean off the finger prints as you insert the device.
[General Topics] maevro:
Flush is much better in my opinion. The flush screens on the Touch and Touch Cruise is a harder plastic unlike the normal touchscreen and I like that.

Also, it is easier to type on a flush screen.

I am using the O2 Atom Life. The bezel is at an angle so while the screen is sunk in, it is much easier to get in the corner compared to a regular sunk in screen.
[General Topics] andrey08:
Lol any arguments for sunk-in screens :D
[General Topics] andrey08:
haha guess no one wants to defent sun in screens :)

anyone??
[General Topics] saimhe:
On the TyTN I, those borders saved the screen countless times. I do not always have the pouch handy so a common decision is to put the thing down on a flat surface, screen facing downwards: that way nothing will fall on it, and spills will be less destructive. A typical iPhone-ish design won't last two weeks with me without scratches or worse, and would drive me paranoid even more. I value the peace of mind a lot, and I need a touchscreen. Sadly, good ole' designs with sunken screens, resistive touchscreens and lots of hardware buttons (yet another story) are becoming extinct.

Inconveniences are small. With some acrobatics, the Close button can still be quickly reached with a fingernail, even if they are short. Just try to use the plane of a fingernail, not its edge.

However a protective border that is high enough and some five millimeters away from screen corners could radically change experience for most users. Which manufacturer will have balls to dare such a thing, during the times when everyone is chasing iPhone? Let's hope that my TyTN will be still alive then. Since I've bought it a few years ago, I haven't seen any decent upgrade; even its cousin, Kaiser, has changed in the wrong direction -- would mean more problems than comfort. Apparently the choice will be harsh.

Just bought Yota3 from ebay but it isn't working the way i thought it is. I thought it was going to work just like Yota2. Now i can't install any apps on to eink screen.
[YotaPhone] Raj_The_Ripper:
i don't think mirroring feature is in yota 3
[YotaPhone] pkalista:
bad news.

I expected the way of working like Yotaphone 2

:(
[YotaPhone] residualspark:
Could you please tell me exactly how mirroring works on Yota3? On yotaphone 2 I can use epd just like color. How about yota3?
[YotaPhone] awayu:
I am a Chinese Yota3 user.

Yota brand was bought by a Chinese company, which turned out to be a disaster. You need some tricks to make yota3 easy to use.

There is still mirror mode, but need some effort to turn on.

Download a app named More shortcuts, long press at desktop to open widgets, add more shortcuts.

Choose Activity - Factory test - Mirror activity.

Then there will be a shortcuts added for mirror mode.

In this mode, only Back Button can be used. You may need a gusture app to help. (Like assistive Touch in iphone）

Or You can use Direct app mode (newly introduced in yotaphone3) to launch an app on eink. (talk later)

（btw, how can I post a screenshot here)
[YotaPhone] tymeo:
As a new user of Yota3, I'm really interested by the "Direct app mode" and the shortcuts... I missed these function. Yotaphone 2 with the mirror mode was much more easy to use
[YotaPhone] awayu:
In OTA updates after Feb. there are several app shortcuts added to Discover page on EDP which can help to launch them on EDP if already installed in color screen. This is called Direct app mode. But you cannot customize the app shortcuts on Discover page (stupid).

The shortcuts launch by package name.

Here is how we go. Change any launcher's (or any other app you'd like) package name to any of the shortcuts on Dicover page. Install to color screen. Launch it on eink Discover page.

I have a modified eink launcher at hand. But dont know how to upload.

* ATTENTION If you OTA update to Dec version or later (included Feb version) battery usage will increase a lot. And newly added apps/functions are mostly for Chinese user. You can only send back to factory in China if you wanna go back to ealier version. COZ no root yet.
[YotaPhone] tymeo:
Thanks for your answer. For now, I didn't updated the phone, it's still on Y3SCN06A1000MPX1712021 Rom.

You can send attachments with your posts (if the app is not too big) with the "clip" icon , near the smiley icon, when writing a message.

Another question: do you know how if the latest firmware upgrade add some changes to the screen timeout time? With my firmware, I can only set maximum 30 min: when I choose "Screen always on"" (Settings-Display- Sleep-"Screen always On"), it doesn't work. This may help when using Mirror mode, otherwise after 30 minutes, it will quit this mode if you don't touch the screen (I use the mirror mode with GPS app).
[YotaPhone] dsfhk457:
I tried the method suggested by awayu using Activity Launcher app, but couldn't quite get it to work.

But I went to Baidu in a hope to find more info on this on Chinese forums and found this one:

tieba.baidu.com/p/5587584209

It offers to download and install apk that impersonates Hinhua News (新华社 - top leftmost on Discovery screen) and provides up app launcher on e-ink screen instead.

So I've bitten the bullet and installed this apk and seems to be working.

In a way this is even better solution as it gives you menu of apps to launch, but at the cost of installing random apk. It was a bit re-assuring that it doesn't seem to require any permissions.

I'm not affiliated with the author of the post at baidu, use at your own risk!
[YotaPhone] sheldonyang:
Alternative way of mirror mode

Specially thanks to awayu who sent me this modified E-ink launcher app which really works. Under the command of this launcher users can have good control of the apps on the front screen when using EPD. For instance I can even turn on mobile network under the reading mode (long press the power bottom to switch) so I can have access to any phone calls when reading. After installing this app I am pretty much happy about Yota 3 now.
[YotaPhone] johnthewildwing:
English google play stops working

It just can't be opened. I reset several times but same issue. What to do ???
[YotaPhone] sheldonyang:
Try to avoid using the preinstalled "AppStore"

Perform factory reset to get back to the "clean state". Disable the preinstalled AppStore (or freeze it) to prevent it from installing any untrusted apps by Chinese developers. Instead using the (preinstalled) browser to find the necessary apk(s) to install google frameworks. Remember not to install any untrusted apps and from then on you should be fine.
[YotaPhone] johnthewildwing:
not working

I tried this but same issue, this time after i downloaded many of my apps and restart phone. Then play store wont open. :(. I did just as u described.
[YotaPhone] dsfhk457:
I use APKUpdater (github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater) in place of gplay. Pretty happy I don't have to install any of g's bloatware
[YotaPhone] johnthewildwing:
thanks for the tip

However I cannot install new apk without reset phone. Perhaps this is connected with Google play error ??

Thanks

[YotaPhone] yijwnim:
That E-ink launcher app makes mirror mode looks like yotaphone2? I have been thinking between Hisense a2 pro and yotaphone3 for several months.

Now I realize I am a bit fan of Yotaphone 2 and not of Yotaphone 3( after the recent purchase of it). :confused:

I like Yotaphone 3 e-ink display to be the same (visually) as Yotaphone 2. is it achievable? Want to put e-ink apps and widget as Yotaphone 2 does.

My question is, is there a way to achieve it? Any help. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] UTNoodle:
My god the world needs to know this.

So below describes my last predicament. Basically was stuck at black screen on boot with system ui crash and had stupidly for no good reason blocked myself from getting adb

Phone was technically powered on and connected to my wifi.

logged into findmymobile.samsung.com and from there as the device was powered on and running but not usable i was able to find device and start a full wipe. With the wipe it got rid of the max power mode and uninstalled the system ui tuner allowing me to resetup the device like new.

Down side is as much as google handle 70% of a phone change over i still had to reset my watches and re do the fingerprints

So, galaxy S8+

Never been a fan of Samsung but a mate sold me his old s8+ for pretty cheap yesterday, today i installed system ui tuner and allowed it via adb, then as the battery was low i switched to "charge only" mode

Today i got a notification saying something about battery optimisation (Max Battery Saver Mode) and i was all about it so i clicked yes and whatever without reading it expecting it to clear catchs and kill some background apps. anyways a few seconds later it rebooted itself and popped up with the message "system ui stopped working". Literally the only things that can happen is when i click the bixby button it says "cannot use bixby while maximum power saving mode is on". and if i hold the power button i get the shutdown and reset icons but when clicking them nothing happens.

I have tried safe mode, still get the same result with ui stopped working

Pressing and holding the power + volume up + bixby button gets me to a screen with some info up to continue and down to cancel, once pressing up nothing happens apart from a screen saying downloading (nothing happens tho)

Not sure what to do

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Gabbbo85:
Hi all guys

i'm going to tell you my little problem, this morning, in my honor8 with stock rom:

my operations, step by step:

- unlock the bootloader, via adb and fastboot

- twrp installed

- from twrp, magisk installed

- Root OK, SafetyNet OK

- then I started to play with the apps, deleting the system that I could not uninstall before (such as gmail, the various pre-installed games etc etc, but no particular app, only known stuff)

- I tried to install a trivial apk inside the system folder. then I realize that now the SafetyNet gives negative result (I do not assure that it was the fault of the app installed on the system folder, but I realized after this operation).

- so, i wanted to restart from the beginning: I wiped and formatted the whole operating system

- with HuaweiUpdateExtractor e fastboot i reinstalled the os (official rom FRD-L09C432B389) with the files BOOT.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img, SYSTEM.img

- first problem: when i pressed vol.up+vol.down+power, I started the installation but shortly after I get stucked with the words "Software install failed". Restarting the system, I have seemingly functioning android.

- Apparently, cuz everything works, except for the developer options. I enable it, I click on it, crashes the "settings" app, making me return to the phone's home.

You know:

if i can't enter in the developer mode, i can't activate the "debug usb" options

if i can't activate the Debug usb, i can't recognize the smartphone with fastboot

if i can't recognize the smartphone with fastboot, i can't install twrp

if i can't install twrp, i can't do anything, root included

The only thing I have is the bootloader unlocked (in fact when I start the phone, it warns me of this).

By the way, pressing vol.su or vol.giù + power no longer enters me either in fastboot mode, or in, of course, twrp.

Has anyone come across my own problem?

Do I have a way to reinstall a rom (not necessarily the official) in my situation?

Hopefully, ideas on how to solve?

ps: the phone, in any case, works: google play it's ok, I get calls, internet it's ok etc etc .... the only thing is these developer options are not working and the inability to re-lock the bootloader to send it in assistance with the warranty

I add one thing:

I read that in the Q2 2018, honor8 should receive Oreo.

Is it possible that I solve the problem via the OTA update?

I apologize for my bad English, I hope I was clear enough
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Deemo13:
Had a similar issue when I was trying to go back to stock. Couldnt boot into an OS because there was not one, and I couldnt get USB debugging to work.

I then flashed the original OS through the original erecovery by loading it onto my SD card. I loaded the entire file onto it unzipped, not with just the 4 img files. For some reason, it came up as a half baked version of the OS (probably because of not flashing the region zip), but it was enough to get me to USB debugging and fastboot. I then flashed TWRP, flashed the operating system, did a factory reset, and went from there.

EDIT: Your English is plenty good enough for most people.

EDIT2: Have you also tried to maually go into download mode and see if you are able to flash TWRP from there? I've done that before as well.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Gabbbo85:
thx for your help Deemo!

Last night i

solved

the problem just like you said:

the initial difficulty (not possible to enter in fastboot or twrp) was solved in the most banal way I could imagine: with phone off, hold the vol.down button and attach the usb cable. the terminal starts in fastboot mode....I didn't know this method :eek:

I found another thread here, where to download the official rom (link to the discussion)

instead of the one I used before, this have the dload folder (never found in previous downloads). I immediately put the dload folder (with the update.app in it) in the microsd.

once in there, everything was easy:

- reinstalled twrp from cmd.exe with fastboot

- started twrp from the mobile phone (a cell turned off, vol.up+power)

- wiped cache, data and dalvik

- turned off the phone

- press vol.up+vol.down+power, the installation starts, but this time, ends correctly.

at the first start, the honor logo in the blue background was there for several minutes (i was worried :p) but then, started the initial configuration and the developer options are back to work!

Obviously the phone now no longer has the bootloader unlocked or the root. As if it were new!

This weekend I start all over again, at least I try to do other damages :D
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Deemo13:
Glad I could help!

You should be able to unlock the bootloader again if you kept your original bootloader code.

I would recommend you to read a bit more and know what you are doing before flashing.

Hello, I first bought my phone from Taiwan and the CSC was pointing to BRI(Taiwan) at first but now after flashing Germany's Oreo firmware by following the xda thread, it no longer shows anything in my avaliable CSC, I'm only getting CHO(Chile) and nothing else. Is there a possible fix? I also tried flashing Taiwans firmware for nougat but still ended up with CHO service provider.

Im trying to get back to stock Taiwan firmware because they now have oreo update and supports Samsung Pay while the Germany's firmware doesn't support at all.

Also I accidentally reset my phone with Canada's Sim card in while factory resetting once.

I've attached an image of my phone's CSC info

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

EDIT: another thing I noticed was my phone model changed from SM-G955FD to SM-G955F, is there any way to get it back to FD somehow? In my settings. About phone, it does say SM-G955FD still though
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
If you change the 'model' of your phone via a flash, you need to flash/change the CSC with the same 'model' of the OS you used.

If it seems a bit convoluted, I'd flash back to full OEM, and make sure that is all OK, and then flash the proper CSC package.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dansimko:
Firmwares for SM-G955F and SM-G955FD are IDENTICAL, your model number has not changed. To change CSC I had to install FW with new CSC, then do factory reset and after first boot I got prompted whether I want to change my CSC (based on inserted SIM card), confirmed, the phone did factory reset again and got new CSC installed. Also, Canada is not included within OXM multi-CSC package as G955F/FD is not sold there (or at least not officially).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] daffychuy:
Thank you both for your help. I'll try and flash just the CSC firmware then reset when samsung decides to push the OTA again and will see if that solves it. The firmware for Taiwan came out only a few days before they took it out so didn't have a chance to download it.

I didn't found here something for rooting Nexus 5x with Oreo 8.1 Security Patch February 2018 just with SuperSU and Magisk isn't always an option(for me).

Required: unlocked bootloader, TWRP 3.2.1-0 installed

Go to Playstore and install Chainfires SuperSU v2.82. Download the attached file and put it to your internal storage. Reboot to TWRP and install SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip. Reboot to system. After two reboots you will be back in system and SuperSU is working. If you don't install the app first through Playstore, you won't find any SuperSU in your app list. I don't know why, but this way worked for me and i tried it several times, because i didn' want to have Magisk on this phone. Viper4android is also working without any problems. Hope this helps anybody with the same problem.

I've tried several times to root the Nexus 5x only flashing the SuperSU by fastboot but I never rooted the phone.

Also the version of SuperSu to flash was different. I kept flashing an S3 while the one published by you was an S5.

Thank you.

Hey folks!

I've recently updated to Oreo and realized that if I change the icons through the samsung theme store the preinstalled apps(maps,chrome,drive,playstore..) has that same rounded cornered touchwiz crap look and arent changing. On nougat this wasnt a problem,I changed to another icon pack and if the app wasnt themed it would go back to app's default icon. I cant even force the app's default icon(like youtube staying in an ugly white bubble).

Also, I tried turning off icon frames,without luck.The mentioned apps stayed the same

Any advice?
