[Magisk] Jman420:
Negative, this project was only explored to the point that it supported modifying your SELinux Mode at startup. I don't believe I've come across any tools which will deserialize the SELinux Policy into something that is human readable... and I've had very little success in querying the actual SELinux Policy for results using various open source tools which I don't remember off-hand.

I've had the most success with reviewing the SELinux denials in logcat (entries prefixed with 'avd') for conflicts with the policy. Those denials are technically human readable, although a bit cryptic. It may also be useful to capture the logcat from boot rather than only around any crash or unexpected behavior you are experiencing. In the case of audio effects, their libraries are loaded at boot-time by AudioFlinger and any errors during loading are expressed at that time, but as a User you won't experience a crash until you open the App. The crash won't provide much useful data outside of 'we can't load your audio effect', but the avd errors at boot time will indicate why the library can't be loaded.

[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] Celeste8157:
I got a new Elephone S8 about a week ago, and it's having a glitch that's happened 3 different times. The touch screen becomes unresponsive for around 20 minutes, and after restarting it will work again but it always says the battery is at 1% when it had a full charge before the issue happened. Has anybody else encountered this? I'm terrified that one time the touch screen won't come back. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, but some type of glitch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Elephone S8 touch screen stop working

I have the same problem, I even managed to put ERAGON ROM and again the same thing, the screen just stops working, I even think it has no rules when it will work, and when it does not.
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] map002:
Not here. It seems to me that some folks got units with flaky digitisers. If it were just firmware, I suspect everyone would have the issue.
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] claylord84:
To share experience with the problem, touch screen stops working!

I returned via Flash Tool to 01701018 release official and then> flash root> flash twrp. Then I installed "magisk manager 16" and for now the cellular phone works for 2 days, since it will not have a SIM card while testing the touch screen lock. I will let you know guys... ;) :angel:
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] Celeste8157:
That's what I'm planning on doing today: returning my phone to original rom. Has it happened anymore since you downgraded?
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] Celeste8157:
If that's the case, I would need to replace the entire screen, correct? A new one is $50, and I only paid $175 for the new phone! I just don't know if that's worth it :(
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] claylord84:
S8 touch screen

In my case, even the SIM card has no connection to the effect of locking the touch screen of a cell phone, it is always the same problem. The screen simply does not work when it does not work. "It seems to me that some people get units with dirty digitizers?" I have no idea... :confused:
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] map002:
Hardware defects should be covered under the phone's warranty... And if it's soon enough after purchase, by the shop where you bought the phone.

Best of luck to you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xDRAGONZORD:
Two days ago my phone died after i tried to reboot it while charging the display did not come on. The phone turns on, fully charges and the touch screen works. I've tried holding the power and volume - keys down with no luck. Today I was able to setup sidesync on the phone, everything seems to be working just not the screen. Is there any thing i can do, I've already contacted samsung and was told to take it to a service center. Before I do, I was wondering if there's anything i can do on my side before i go to the service center as im not to keen on paying for a repair i can do my self but if theres no other chose then I'll just take it there. The phone does get a little hot around right top coner. Any info would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
You know another person or two have recently had about the same thing, black screen. I think they ended up going to a repair shop to confirm the screen issue. Seems like you've done some reasonable problem solving attempts..

Maybe someone will come by with other ideas on how to solve w/o a trip to a repair shop.

Sorry for dumb questions, just lazy to test my self by installing this then going back to other rom if needed.

What exactly does that mean?

Can we use youtube app to play video? Will it work?

If it will, will there be issues in 1080p playback?

Can we use vlc app to playback videos? Will they play but consume more power?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] GtrCraft:
Youtube will work, videos can be laggy.

And yes it will consume more power because the CPU, not the GPU handles the playback.

Ok, the F2FS TWRP is outdated and the injector and kernel are also outdated.

[Shield Tablet Android Development] bland.life:
I think its until the Lineage OS maintainer finds a way to fix it, the other ROMs won't have it fixed.

So its better to keep a look out on the official Lineage OS build thread.

Anyway this ROM is behaving as normal for the things I do.

Reading manga, Feedly and Chrome browsing, Youtube, even the camera works better than Validus Nougat ROM.

Hummm... i just changed the quality from 720 to 1080 on a video and it plays fine so far. Maybe I'm missing something, I'll try a few more...

edit: surprisingly, i just watched a little Jessica Jones on Netflix. Didn't think Netflix would play...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] fpozar:
Weird, I thought broken HWA ment no hd youtube.

Are you absolutely sure it displays in full hd? Like, did you see the jump in quality
[Shield Tablet Android Development] filjusz:
Sure. It works from the beginning for me too. Also no prob with Spotify :D
[Shield Tablet Android Development] fpozar:
So what is that hwa even supposed to do? Also, could you be so nice and test hdmi output while playing a movie downloaded to the shield? If it works I'm switching to oreo, I just don't want to lose 2 or 3 hourd getting everything set up to my liking only to be forced to go back. Of course, if you can't (or don't have the time to do so) it's okay. Thanks for confirming about youtube, though !

Gonna test it tommorow. I thought hw decoding is something with videos, but they all are working just fine for me

No, but i haven't tried something like mxplayer w/ a mp4 or mkv yet. That's where that hw accel might not work, but i still have to test it more. I was blown away that Netflix played...

Kodi is what I'm the most interested in, in case you use it to play or stream movies I'd be very thankful if you could try to play anything there. Never the less, I also doubt that kodi will work but who knows, we can at least be happy that there are some smart guys trying to tackle the problem
[Shield Tablet Android Development] teamevil:

You'd have to dl them to the computer, boot into recovery, transfer files to the tablet then flash or adb sideload them...

[Shield Tablet Android Development] Entodoays:
What did you install from ADB and how? To give relevant answers we would need more detailed information. You don't need "USB debugging" to enter TWRP. Just power off your device, press POWER + VOL Down and then choose recovery from the Fastboot menu. The device will boot in TWRP if you installed it. If you didn't and you still have the stock recovery you'll get a green android bot with a red triangle and a "no command" message.

ROM not flashing on my Nvidia Shield

Hello. I find I'm unable to install many ROMS for my Shield. When I try to flash this one, it looks like it's going fine in TWRP (latest version 3.2.1.0), but when I reboot, it just hangs at a partially lit black screen. It just sits there heating up. I was also unable to flash this ROM dated 3/7/2018 (got a red Error). Would you have any advice? I'm currently on Resurrection Remix (7.1.2, kernel BitO). Luckily I have a backup saved so I was able to restore. Thanks very much.

[Shield Tablet Android Development] fmcgregor:
Hi. I'm sorry to have to come back but I tried updating the blob file by watching youtube and reading articles.

[Shield Tablet Android Development] Aryzen:
Not sure if appropriate to respond here with a question like this, but what sort of battery life should I expect from this ROM? And what quite does lack of hardware acceleration mean? Just video decoding or is it any GPU task whatsoever?

Thanks!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] legittrickz:
I get about 6-7 hours of browsing, but I have never tried any other ROMs so I dont know if this is good or not. When gaming/watching videos, I can get around 2-2.5 hours. For me, the lack of hw acceleration doesnt seem to affect playing HD youtube videos but others have said they have been affected. Games (hearthstone, psp emulated games) run fine for me but drains much faster if device heats up.

I have original shield tab.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Aryzen:
I see, thanks... That's... Interesting performance... I have better SOT with my mobile unfortunately. Thank you though!

[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
So... [MENTION=5293805]GtrCraft[/MENTION]. I tried copying those libs over to my Lineage install and re-enabling the hw codecs. Stuff is still failing. Something else has to have changed if this works. Were there accompanying framework changes perhaps? I wonder because even flounder on Lineage doesn't have working hw codecs. The story as I understand it is that flounder got device tree updates for Oreo, but never had blobs released, so those libs are still from N.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] GtrCraft:
I got Youtube & Netflix working, only Twitch is freezing
[Shield Tablet Android Development] GtrCraft:
I got the blobs from this commit: https://github.com/BigTopKrazies/pr...mmit/2d90a17db295333141a0edae6a2045ea89707ea5

Seems like Flounder uses something else's blobs. But I don't know what ryu is.

I only reverted hw codec disable commit and added those blobs, nothing more.

EDIT: It seems ryu is the Pixel C

1. Sometime the volume button is reversed when playing music/video.

2. Video doesn't play on Instagram and Twitter.

3. Random app force closes.

4. On stock gallery app when you try to play video, only audio plays and it continues even if we close the app and turn off screen.

5. Video works well on Amazon Prime Video.

[Shield Tablet Android Development] Daxziz:
Hi all

I've been searching for a good answer, but haven't been able to find one, that boils it down to the specifics. I hope you can help me out.

If I install Oreo on my shield tablet k1; what will the missing hardware acceleration mean for me? Will it impact the system alone? Slow GUI in apps and system? Or will it also impact things like Netflix and games?

Thanks.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] XeroXid:
As I am experiencing, it does only effect media apps like youtube ,netflix and similar apps by playing buggy and slow videos at 720p (60fps) and higher. Playback qualities up to 720p (30fps) work normally without any trouble.

I've also set my default video quality in ogyoutube to 720p so it does not switch automatically.

It seems the only problem of disabled hwaccel to be high quality video playback.

I hope I could help you.?

Love this ROM, minor bug, tried multiple fixes, looking for answers

Love this ROM, minor bug, tried multiple fixes, looking for answers

Overall this ROM on the Original Nvidia Shield Tablet (US LTE 32GB) is excellent.

Minor issues I've encountered:

For some reason the rear camera is not detected/usable. I've tried multiple "fixes" but nothing is working

I've completely wiped the device from TWRP recovery, (Formatted /data, /system, /cache, & Dalvik cache, etc).

Luckily I have full recovery backups, so nothing truly lost.

I've tried other Camera apps, (Google Camera, Open Camera, Camera Zoom FX, A Better Camera, etc). Additionally, I have also ensured the App Permissions on every Camera App is enabled.

The other "minor" annoyance appears to be the battery doesn't seem to "fully" charge (by reading the battery percentage) it never seems to go higher than 88%, although the battery LED indicator (next to the micro-usb port is green).

Any tips/ideas, feedback?!

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Hi everyone,

I've recently unlocked my tablet in the hopes of updating to the Oreo android version. To be perfectly honest, I'm a bit new to the unlocking android scene, but with a decent guide, I can usually get it done.
