Also,if I update my phone to the latest verizon firmware through ODIN(as the software update option is missing),will my EE sim work or not as I don't want to be stuck on an old version of android?And finally,does an antutu score of 149913 match with a US S7 or a UK S7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 9012469:
BIG UPDATE.I checked the IMEI on Samsung's website and it says it's a 32gb gold Sprint S7,but this is insanely wrong as my S7 is black and not gold.Seems as if some fool took the internals of a US phone,the shell of a UK phone,the fw of a Verizon phone and the IMEI of a gold Sprint S7,put it together and gave it to Mobiles.co.uk and they sold it as a refurbished S7.

I'm hoping this comes along soon too. I know Tiger Hoods made the APK for the S8 and S8+. I was rocking it on my S8+ for so long that I forgot I had even done it and then when I got my S9+, I realized I didn't have it. I tried to use the one for the S8+ and it doesn't work. Hopefully someone will hook us up for the S9 and S9+.

Let's hope that someone will find a way to make overlays for Android 8 oreo because as I have read in s8 & Note 8 threads for now its impossible to make them as it was on android 7.

Maybe the developers find a way but not with simple overlays but with compine of 3 deferent apps from playstore and a special theme... That's not so easy for everyone so let's hope for someone find an easyer way....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Has anyone had success using the U modem with the newer firmware on a carrier outside of Sprint?

There is an article here about it and you can disable any warning messages with a package disabler.

Since the U firmware doesn't work, just wondering if anyone has tried this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] V3racious:
I have one I am willing to sacrifice if you want me to test something out. I'd like to try and flash it to Verizon for a friend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
If doesn't have the latest firmware, I wouldn't even bother because you can just put the offical u or verzion firmware on it.

Here is the process in a nutshell:

1. Odin a dec/Jan firmware...like QJ3. But replace the cp slot with the file from the latest u firmware. This is the modem file.

2. When your phone starts, you will receive a pop up message, just hit cancel.

3. Install a package disabler like sabs, bk, adhell2. Disable securitylogagent . This should remove the annoying message. Sabs takes a little effort to setup, but you may need it for the disabler part. Restart after disabling.

4. Pop in verizon sim. See if the additional bands are unlocked.

If you fail, you can always just odin back to a v5 sprint firmware. But don't try it unless you are stuck on the current firmware and your phone is doing nothing. It won't brick your phone.

While the firmware is not downloadable, modem files can downgrade one major update.

This worked for me, but I only have sprint and haven't tried it elsewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] V3racious:
Thanks for the info. I just screwed up and updated to the latest firmware. So with that said the sacrificial lamb still stands...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Like I said, I see the additional bands, but have no idea if they are useable since sprint doesn't use them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] V3racious:
Can I do this if I am on the latest firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Yes, you are just changing the modem [ap slot]. It worked for me and the bands show up for me as options, but no way of knowing they actually work. I have sprint, so testing a carrier with different bands is the only way.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] twist:
I believe these units are identical other then possibly the software / accessories and are also very similar in price.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oct...0.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.262.X8ugtv

Terrible shipping, 2 year warranty, better feedback, less products for sale.

Last unit my PX3 I bought off of Amazon and it was prime so if I had any issues I could just send it back. I have not seen any of these newer Oreo 8.0 units for my car available there yet. Just looking to see if anyone has any experience with either seller or any tips.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Hi all, ready to move on from my Nexus 6. Would love some pro's/con's from this community on how happy I'd be to make this switch. I've ready G5S plus give great bang for buck and has a good modding community which is a must have for me.

Any thoughts on making the G5S + my primary phone??
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] CatsAreGods:
All I can say is I love mine and I came from a Nexus 4.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Wow, thank you both for your elaborate remarks, really helpful and exactly what I was looking for. So yes I've been rotting for awhile as well (since HTC Eris) and have had some pleasant and less than pleasant experiences. Some earlier Moto droids were obv torture to get unlocked, while the Nexus 6 was certainly quite the opposite.

I'm disappointed to hear dev is so sparse, as the usual spots (Android Police, Auth, 9to5Google, etc) all said this was the best phone to look at for modding after Pixel 2 & OnePlus given it's ease of unlock and robust community. Honestly I find such great value in the ability to unlock, root etc that I do plan on doing so right away and it heavily influences my purchase decision. I suppose if I wanted just one locked in phone experience I would just go to an IPhone, but I want to be able to customize.

From a hardware perspective, I appreciate both viewpoints. Yes don't like the thought of losing screen real estate but not sure what the alternative is as other options I've looked at are 18:9. Played with the 2 XL today and was shocked at the lack of screen space in landscape. Web browsing already is limited given ads in landscape and it seems even worse in the 18:9 ratio. As to software, Internetpilot certainly makes me wary as I'm on VZW, another CDMA. Personally I've generally had a good experience with my network relative to friends of mine on Sprint, but persisting network issues concern me as I also want a smooth experience when on a different rom.

As to the financial point, agreed on both sides. Certainly bang for the buck kind of phone. There are better out there but I too can't stomach the thought of dropping a grand on these, just seems a bridge too far given where the prices were just a few years ago. But at the same time I really don't want to have a phone that is nothing but hassle and constant re-flashes. I'd like to find a rom that is stable, supported and simply support it and continue on.

Well, I thank you both for the time and opinions, really helpful to be sure. Internetpilot I'll certainly dig for other posts with similar concerns but if you care to share some you've come across I'll def have a look.

Thanks again to the both of you.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Yeah, those are all great points. I agree with the heart of your contention in that I absolutely love tinkering with my phone, trying new ROMs, seeing what sort of added and better features I can apply to my device, making it mine instead of having some company tell me what to do with my device. But conversely I absolutely dread those lost days when something doesn't go right and you spend days and weeks scouring the forums and doing research just to get your phone to what you deem to be an operable state. Certainly that can be part of the fun of owning a device like this but with multiple kids, job, and other life stuff getting in the way and not being an engineer by trade or anything technology related it does become a bit of a hindrance at times. I suppose I just want my cake and to eat it too, but that's not the landscape that Android lives in right now.

I also take your point that this is a mid range device that has Hardware limitations and a development community that will only support it for so long. I'd like to make a choice that has a little more longevity built into it like the 4+ years I got out of my Nexus 6.

I think I may actually go for a verizon pixel to xl give it all these conversations, can get one on payment for less than 500 out the door. While I absolutely recognize that I will probably greatly miss having total control over my device, I really like the Android software landscape and it still offers a much richer customization experience than does an iPhone.

Look, really appreciate all your feedback and thoughts. Will let you know some months down the road if the decision was a good one. Cheers.

I received my moto z play today and when i opened the phone , the battery was 73 % then it started to decrease till reaching 53 % in only 32 mins screen on time , no WiFi , cellular connection or apps at all(nothing is open in the background) , screen draining only 1% , Is this unit defective? Need advice ,please.

Note: When it was 73 % , the time until the battery is empty was about 38 mins , but when it reached 53% it became 1 hour and 6 mins !!!

wouldn't it be better to let the battery drain completely and then charge it?

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Manas1796:
So I searched some things and hopefully this will clear your doubts.

I'll be going through every popular ROM for this device.

Its been 4 months since OmniROM Oreo build and I truly believe that there will not be any more of OmniROM for the Find7 as there has been no changes in the repo. I am thankful for all the support the devs provided for this device for past 2-3 years. This and Nameless were two ROMs that supported LVMs.

I am also positive that NamelessROM is dead as well (even though the dev said he's working on it 30 weeks ago https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderMartinz/posts/N1Fmfc25iks there has been no changes in its source since a year approximately. Also, he's a bit secretive when asked to disclose his progress of ROMs.

AICP devs have already deleted all the Find7 ROM zip files from their website (http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=find7). No changes in the source after Dec 2017 either (https://github.com/AICP/device_oppo_find7).

ResurrectionRemix ROM is dead for Find7 as well. They are busy making 8.1 ROMs for OP5T.

MokeeROM and LineageOS 14.1 are still active for 7.1.2. As we all know, none of them support LVM/Unified storage.

Our only hope LineageOS 15.1, is still in development. I've seen its changlog and they seem to be working on it.

(I'm referring to the device specific changlogs - https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_oppo_msm8974 and https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oppo_common.

crDroid will make a build only after LineageOS 15.1 is released. As of now they've put the device into "dropped" categories (https://plus.google.com/108033353751385883417/posts/V1MAec8qN1D).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownboy1289:
Oppo Find 7

If I'm being honest, I've been running 2.1.5 color os and its been working fine for the past 3 years. I've tried custom roms but they just don't tend to work whether that's with the LVM or other features.

The phone itself is still an amazing phone even in 2018 especially the camera! :good:

I mean tell me one thing this phone cannot do?

The main reason why I personally think they have stopped giving support to mobile phones is because of the money that they are spending on advertisement especially in India where the entire Indian cricket team has OPPO labelled on their jersey. But, also the amount of advertising money they have spent to make the brand more aware in ASIA/Europe.

As for the OPPO Find 7 in my opinion is still one of the flagship device on the market.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lazostat:
I am looking for a new rom and a new battery but I can't find something. Also the oppo Europe community has been deleted from website..
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] griMa010100:

Thank you very much for your comprehensive interesting summary. I did not know Oppo switched to consumer unfriendly mode. I am going to rethink buying an OP 5. Although I have to admit a Find 7a with omni 7.1.2. is running just fine, maybe another one or two years.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ITguy2:
Oppo cut off all international activities and projects because OnePlus now handles it for them. They know that Oppo and ColorOS can't appeal to the international market, which is why OnePlus has the whole stock android thing (and why OnePlus isn't very active in China. Oppo handles that side of the market).

I'm still hoping on Lineage btw.

temp fix if you can't flash any LOS15.1 based rom:

in file : META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

remove the first a few lines started with ASSERT. They are checking if the zip is actually for the device. but the twrp we have for Chinese unified partition can't handle the check properly. just remove the check, and you will have oreo 8.1.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Wave49:

Guyssss big problem...

Phone bricked after losing access to internal storage after flashing the crdroid, unified patch and then pico gapps.

Phone only showed 3 GB internal storage and not 16gb.

I un-bricked the phone and im not really sure what to do... the 8.1 OS was working perfectly, but only the problem with the internal storage.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] knusto:
Things works well with Find 7 and unified storage. Maybe Find 7a needs another patch zip?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownboy1289:
I've got the Find 7s with unified storage.

Here is what I did as you said:

1) I flashed the modded version of twrp.

2) Flashed the crdroid (the one [MENTION=6807356]yever[/MENTION] kindly uploaded)

3) Flashed the unified cm13 patch

4) Flashed 8.1 Pico gapps

5) Reboot

Everything worked, however when I use a file editor (e.g ES File Explorer) the internal storage shows as 3GB not the 16gb that I have.

Are these the steps you did? And it shows as 16gb internal for you?

However, other 8.0 roms such as Omni works fine without the use of cm13 patch and does not need the modded twrp.

Kind regards,
