CRC4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] branstonmorgan:
Flashed CRC4 and everything seems good except one bug where u can't remove tiles from quick settings anymore just a small thing but wanted to say it just incase att engineers read this :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] nivron:
That's an issue that I found on CRC1 as well, as a FYI. I despise the Wi-Fi Calling icon and usually remove it. I moved it to the 2nd page when I was on CRC1.

Please let us know after a couple of days how your battery life was. I went back to BRA1 for now. CRC1 killed my battery way faster than Nougat or the prior Oreo builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] ErayBalyemez:
CRC4 is just awesome all big bugs has been fixed performance is way too good for first oreo.Battery not draining as first oreo,the heart rate sensor problem completly fixed.But still have little performance and ui bugs.Srry for bad english.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] mhdsweidan99:
There is a bug in crc1

When I switch to front camera the first photo I capture saves normally to gallery but when I try to capture another photo the camera stops responding

Any fix other than installing camera apps from play store

Is this fixed in crc4

P.S: Battery is as good as it was in nougat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] ErayBalyemez:
In CRC4 that camera problem is fixed for me its working verry well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] juni12:
I decided to wait for official release, it's not gonna take that long. In the meantime, I'll use Nougat. Even though Marshmallow is slightly faster, I consider Nougat is so far the most stable version, regarding battery life for instance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] MrWhite0429:
So just clean wipe and flash update zip? I'm curious to try but I'm waiting for more users to chime in

crb5 to crc4 update possible?

I was able to update my 935a from nougat bra1 to current crb5 via update from sd card.

Am I able to flash crc4 via sd card from my current crb5?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] MrWhite0429:
Do you just flash update.zip or do you have to wipe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] ErayBalyemez:
When you flash with stock recovery it wipes all data.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I dont know but i dont really thing that possible becouse when you flash it take a control witch model you have and this updates for bra1 so i guess no but maybe you can but you can download bra1 with odin then flash it it will work.

CRC4 is draining my battery a lot .,but performance is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] balleron24z:
So, note to future self, and anyone else attempting to install a "beta"/"alpha" build and not an official OTA for Samsung devices: If your phone is encrypted, and you attempt to dirty flash these OTAs (like I did), things most likely won't go right, and you'll end up with your phone never making it past the bootloader. It's not bricked, just won't boot Android.

All is well, just gotta ODIN back to the latest firmware available (BRA1 in this case), ensure the device is wiped, and the install the OTA. My S7e took roughly an hour from attempting to update via the ZIP in recovery, but once completed, the boot took maybe 10 minutes at first.

I've only been running CRC4 for about 30 minutes now, but it feels VERY polished. Aside from a few stutters while the mass influx of apps restore from backup, it feels much snappier to unlock, maneuver, and everything else. Gotta say, as much as I love Google's vision for Android (aka their version of Android on Pixel), SE9 is pretty polished. I'll comment on battery life once I've let the OS settle for a bit. I'll also be using a package disabler on stuff that the native app manager won't let me disable, but I've experienced no issues thus far. CRC4 is probably one of the last builds we'll see before this is pushed mainstream. I'm sure there are a few other things that need to be adjusted, but nothing that I can find by digging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] aramos1322:
Sorry for a dumb question....

Where can I download BRA1 ?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] branstonmorgan:
CRC5 is up!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] juni12:
I want to download it, but since Samsung is almost releasing the stable version I want at the same time just wait for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] FatalONEM8:
Who said that? the stable version is a while away, like spring/summer away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jrkruse:
S8 and note 8 have been beta testing since October
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] technetium2048:
Awwww man! I just got done downgrading to BRA1 to install CRC4 a couple of hours ago! Now CRC5 is out?! Looks like I'm downgrading again in order to install this one.

UPDATE

: Just got done flashing CRC5. For people trying to upgrade to this version, you MUST downgrade to BRA1 using Odin in order to be able to install CRC5 afterwards.

Battery

: The battery seems to drain a bit quicker than the other Oreo builds and even the Nougat build. I will test the battery life even further and report back as I'm going with what I'm observing at the moment.

Performance

: Everything seems to be running perfectly fine at the moment. Responsiveness is slightly quicker then the CRC4 build. However, what I have found so far is that there is some lag transitioning into some menus, opening and closing apps, and even pulling down the notification panel. The lag was not as apparent in the CRC4 build which is odd to see some in this build.

Bugs

: Like the CRC4 build, the notification light is now working and the HR sensor on the back doesn't go off at random anymore. I haven't encountered any other bugs yet and will report back if I find any.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] wildsky2:
Does the camera working good?, in CRC4 my camera can't record video at 60fps, too many lag and drop fps ~28-40fps :(:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] technetium2048:
Yes video is recording at 60 fps with the right settings selected. I even tried 4k just to check things out and it seems to be working absolutely fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] mhdsweidan:
My download is always breaking although I have a solid connection

Isn't there other site I can get the CRC5 from ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] technetium2048:
Unfortunately no. Not as I've seen so far. That is the only website you can get it from unless it were to be uploaded to say, Google Drive or something but then the downloads will be slow. I would say keep trying. I know when I tried last night, it would stop towards the end until my 3rd try I was able to download it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] o0TzB0o:
I haven't satisfied with any of the beta yet, I hate shuttle and laggy performance on these beta. I love it features and look tho
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] sm00th4f3:
So guys, how is your experience?

I hear some little Static when listening to music on lowest volume, stepping it up will resolve that of course.

Seems to be a phone thing. Since my ulefone power 2 does not have this small issue. Give me some of your thoughts and experiences :)!
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Sporkyz:
I found that I hear static only using headphones with 4 pole jacks (with a mic)
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Sutcliffe9:
When I was on marshmallow sound was great in headphones. On Nougat I can hear strange static noise at the end of songs.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] sm00th4f3:
Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience!

The static noise seems to be connected to Android Versions as it seems..pretty weird.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Guides, News, & Discussion] shohabmsk:
Features included:

Viper's Audio || Dolby Atmos®

Xperia™ Audio Enhancement || xLOUD™ || ClearAudio+

Dirac HD || Beats Audio™

[Fully working, even the Sound Enhancement app]

Hi. I'm sharing a great sound mod made by [MENTION=6973144]nitesh9[/MENTION] (thanks to him) in this thread. It was the first mod which made me a lot happier both of its sound quality and simplicity(but complex to install in our roms). I'm giving instructions for safe install for it, because there are some side effects and bugs on Nougat. Follow the instructions to install it perfectly.

Original Thread Link(pay a visit)

Downloads: v 4.0

Installer

Uninstaller

Instructions:

For MIUI:

Install QA 4.0 in TWRP. Reboot and you will get "no Processing" in Viper and also Dolby.- Just edit in build.prop in Viper tweaks section or add an extra line at the bottom.

audio.deep_buffer.media=true

View attachment 4420387

Now reboot and it should work fine.

*In MIUI MM(6.0), nothing is needed to edit, just flash and enjoy.

Edit: *You have to set Se-Linux Permissive or you will be gifted with high CPU usages. :)

*only tested on Stock MIUI 8(QA 3.0, without Sound Enhancement app), 9 and 10.

Beware, it won't work in MIUI Oreo.

For Custom ROMs(MM, N):

It's not fully working, mostly the Sound Enhancement of Sony, but another thing may work.

Install sound mod, and reflash your rom. (don't flash sound mod again. It's for the high CPU usages fix.)

How to test Sony Sound Enhancement app:

Play a song in Sony Music, open Audio Settings, click Clear Audio+ or any other useful things. The sound will then pause and play again. This means its working. And you will feel the difference.

Good news is that Sound Enhancement works in Google Play Music. Have fun with Google Assistant. :)

Cautions:

Never ever use any other sound mod with this one. You may use ad ones from the original thread. I've tested some. Faced some impatient bugs. Whether you face or not, its your responsibility.

The good thing is that it has much natural sound effects without tweaking much, and containing some convolvers(Audiophile Profile needed) in Viper4android which will give you greater sound quality like PC (I don't like to use it though, made sound unnatural). Use Audiophile Profile from his thread, one of the best settings in Viper4android.

*For Oreo, Dolby is not working. Other things may or may not work.

Notice(just ignore it): Sometimes audio through DSP does not work. Playing/pausing music and looking at CPU usage through app like Android Assistant will help you find. I've it enabled. Sometimes it works sometimes doesn't, pausing and after a few seconds playing again few times solved the issue sometimes.

*audio through dsp can give us up to 2x battery life while playing music(and it will lower little quality too)

audio.offload.disable=false

[Essential Phone Accessories] hxdrummerxc:
I just got my essential phone and I'm really honestly digging it. I think that it's a very nice phone that fits my needs well.

However, within a day and a half I have already scratched my screen. Its dead center on the screen and like an inch long :( Literally got the phone on Saturday and scratched it by Monday early AM. I didn't do anything with the phone besides take it in and out of my pocket. Didn't even make it to work with the phone yet. So I'm pretty upset about that.

I know it's gorilla glass 5, but I have never scratched a phone so quick before. Hell my old phone (Moto X pure) Only had one small scratch after running it for 2.5 years without any screen protection at all, including numerous drops and rough handling.

So I guess a screen protector is a must. I ordered a tudia case and a tempered glass screen protector off Amazon. The screen protector is garbage. I hate it. The edges of the screen protector do NOT stick down, even without the case. The edge all the way around the screen is lifted. It looks terrible.

Are there any screen protectors for this phone that are actually decent? I would rather deal with the chance of more scratches than stare at this awful screen protector with unstuck edges.
[Essential Phone Accessories] hxdrummerxc:
Photo of the terrible edges.
[Essential Phone Accessories] msr360:
I'm curious to know too
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
I haven't found a good tempered glass for this phone. They all seem to have issues. I've been using the IQ Shield wet install screen protector. Not tempered glass but looks and feels great (almost as smooth as glass), self healing and works with cases if you get the case friendly version.
[Essential Phone Accessories] reverenddak:
glass screen protectors are nicer, but they suck on this phone.

I went with wet install plastic in the end because it does the main reason for one, protect from scratches, I'm confident it will.

I just hate the wet install process.

but my experience with glass is it doesn't protect from breaking anyway. any significant hit that would break the screen will break the screen no matter what. I think a bumper case is most effective.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:
I'm using the this one.

https://smile.amazon.com/Orzero-Ess...8718314&sr=8-1&keywords=essential+ph-1+orzero

You need to clean your screen really, really, really good before you apply it.

Any oils will show up as a rainbow effect or something close.

I've been using it for weeks now with no lifting with a Tudia case.

Some people say they pop off. That has not been my experience. YMMV
[Essential Phone Accessories] ecstaticnoodle:
I also use this one. I have actually already gone through 5 of them... It seems like some of them are more sticky than others maybe. Initially I used them without out a case and they would come off all the time, but since I've had the Tudia case 1 fell off and the new one has been on there 3 weeks.

My opinion is they are hit or miss... just hope 1 of 3 is good.
[Essential Phone Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
My guess is that these don't stick to the edges as well, but they are black, so you can't see it, therefor they peel off
[Essential Phone Accessories] ecstaticnoodle:
That is correct, but I have tried a couple of other brands as well and they are all like that. I only continue to buy these because there come as a 3 pack and are like $10.
[Essential Phone Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
What I don't understand is why they are having such an issue with it, I had the LG V20 and it has curved edges, but they make them for it with no issues
[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:
Manufacturers not that bright?
[Essential Phone Accessories] yenkoPR:
I use incipio, be careful, the installation instructions are very tricky, I messed up mine while installing, lost 40$

I'm waiting to see if they will send me a new one
[Essential Phone Accessories] hxdrummerxc:
So is the Incipio screen protector any good? I don't even care that it's $40, if it sticks down properly without the bubble around the edges I'll buy it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] PaulieMyk:
I am also interested in finding a better screen protector. I have been using the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin, which worked great for a few weeks, but now a corner is peeling up, I assume from pulling it in and out of my pocket. I might go ahead and get another one if I can't find anything better. Would love a tempered glass protector if someone actually makes a decent one!
[Essential Phone Accessories] HewettBR:
Bought a 3 pack of the ozeros on Amazon. 1st on sucked. 2nd one I put on a few weeks later has been perfect. No rainbow of adhesion issues. Use a clear tpu case with it as well.

Where did you purchase? I'm not even seeing it for the Essential PH-1 on the official website....Nevermind, had to do a manual search for our model.
[Essential Phone Accessories] thelangosta:
Is it case friendly?
[Essential Phone Accessories] VR6slammage:
Care to elaborate?

I have one coming in tomorrow so im curious as to how this "snap on" applicator works.
[Essential Phone Accessories] sigma_wrx:
It works great on mine. I have the tudia minimalist.
[Essential Phone Accessories] VR6slammage:
Well I got the Incipio Plex Plus... It gets the job done, but I'm a bit underwhelmed.

I know it says flexible glass but honestly it feels just like the stock protector film without the tab sticking out lol.

Was expecting a thin slab of glass that mimics the back of my Tudia GLOST case... But hey at least it doesn't scratch like the stock one did.

Probably wouldn't spend the $30 on it again, unless the other ones on Amazon really are that bad... But, I can say that I have mine on with no gaps or bubbles, or raised sides. The top corner edges just barely (and I mean barely) lift off my screen, probably due to the way I laid it down so it seems to be cut pretty good.
[Essential Phone Accessories] thacounty:
Full adhesive or just the edges?
[Essential Phone Accessories] sactownbully84:
Skinomi worked great for me ...I got the full body kit n I love it
[Essential Phone Accessories] blackice000:
Been using an Orzero from amazon (for Essential PH-1)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075VMCN1J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

so far, the edge adhesive has been fine.. a tiny bit of pull up once in a while due to case interference. It will scratch...not badly though and they are really inexpensive. Using it with the Tudia case (no camera cutout. At the price for 3, would use again.

[Essential Phone Accessories] mariol66:
I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074TSW9LF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It looks great, it's a wet install, very very easy to do and I usually suck with screen protectors. Case friendly.
[Essential Phone Accessories] danial.aw:
Can you use the full coverage version with a you case and it doesn't conflict with the edges? Or did you buy the case friendly version of skinomi
[Essential Phone Accessories] derausgewanderte:
I've used the full screen Skinomi and it works with the Tudia cases but will lift off with an Incipio case. If not centered perfectly the Tudia case might also lift the longer end. I've had that happen.
[Essential Phone Accessories] fulljionslly:
I’ve always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?

I got the screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Murbert:
This is why I hate anything but flat screens, no tempered glass will install well on a screen that is curved.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
I dislike curved screens as well but there are options both expensive and affordable. The white dome series of protectors work well but are expensive but not more so than what some retails stores are selling regular TGSP's for (i.e. BB and all US carriers lol). Then there are the ones where u can use LOCA adhesive to help. The way things are going I don't see many flat screens in the future... at least not on majority of the flagships being released...
[Essential Phone Accessories] panaderodc:
I have the incipio plex plus. Halo edges, and greasy as heck. I have the other one - aluminum and rubber with tgsp, and while some say ugly, i love it. Lightweight, and very protective. The only problem with it is the proximity sensor is blocked by the tgsp, rendering the phone mostly usless. I thought the incipio would be q good answer with the " snap on applicator", but it is just another screen protector that doesn't really cover the screen. I may try a ceramic glass filer to carve out a spot for the proximity sensor on the other one.

I had the phone for one day when it fell off the desk, and the screen died. I am resigned to a case. Even with the rubber aluminum job, it is smaller than my note 4 was in its case.

https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Fe...IMEDL&ref=plSrch#immersive-view_1531691435207

This is the case - i have black.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Murbert:
The problem is not the screen protector, it is the screen that is not flat.
[Essential Phone Accessories] lllGurulll:
Well this thread was disappointing to read. Was looking on Amazon and all of them get bad reviews. Guess I'll just have to live without one.
[Essential Phone Accessories] autosurgeon:
Just get a cheap glass one and oil the edge with olive oil after install. Works like a charm and mine has been on for two months no dirt under the edge or adhesion problem. No halo
[Essential Phone Accessories] skeeter123:
Sorcery??

Olive oil? What is this sorcery?? Please expound for us expiring minds...

Cheers!
[Essential Phone Accessories] autosurgeon:
Found a video on YouTube. Just Google oil to remove screen protector halo and you will find it. Simple and works.
[Essential Phone Accessories] contesauce:
Sorry for old post revive

I just jumped on the Amazon deal last week and getting my device today. I saw this link and I'm debating on ordering, but I have a couple of questions. Is this a full screen adhesive or only on the sides, and after using it for a while do you still use it, is it still recommended? Thanks

EDIT: I just ordered two tempered glass and a HD screen for under 5 bucks, figured why not at that price.
