[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MRC01:
On this build I have noticed Google Play Services hogging the battery. Settings reports it keeps the phone awake thousands of times per day, while it's not in use.

I used Privacy Guard to deny the keep awake permission. I just did it 5 minutes ago and Settings reports it's denied this to Google Play Services 15 times already. That's over 4,000 times per day. So this should improve battery life. Time will tell if not allowing it wake locks has any negative impact on other services.

---

Looks like that was a bad idea. Entire phone is locked up now. I recovered it and set it back to normal. It would be nice to know why Google Play Services is waking up the phone over 4,000 times per day.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stylemessiah:
Yeah the one app you do not want to wakelock block is that one

You can try the Sysconfig Patcher module if you're running Magisk to un-whitelist Google from battery optimisation immunity. If you're not using Magisk you can open (in a text editor):

/system/etc/sysconfig/google.xml

And look for the section:

<!-- GmsCore must always have network access for GCM and other things. -->

<allow-in-power-save package="com.google.android.gms" />"

And edit the line:

<allow-in-power-save package="com.google.android.gms" />

To:

<!-- <allow-in-power-save package="com.google.android.gms" /> -->

I have been doing this for ages, the Magisk module just makes it easier, and survives OTA/dirty flashes
[Touch Cruise General] lavrador:
Hello TC Users,

I often need to add a prefix to the number i dial. With the standard dial pad is not possible, i always need to edit the contact itself, or memorize the number and dial it completely.

Is there any way to edit a contact number before call?

Thanks for the support.
[Touch Cruise General] alipi2007:
somthing v importent, i also need that.:)
[Touch Cruise General] feaps:
You guys should give Mobiion's MagiCall a try. Very nice app!

-Feaps
[Touch Cruise General] clamsg:
It's sad. When I did a search on edit and dial, I came up with a lot of request for this feature but seems there isn't any such utility available. Strange because it is pretty obvious it is a useful tool for many. I've tried Mobiion's MagiCall but it's way too complicated and the documentation does not give you any example on how to set up for this.
[Touch Cruise General] neav:

R u stupid it's obviously the same UI because it didn't change at all with experience 9.0 just some MINOR UI changes...

So it is the note 8 camera and it is the Oreo TouchWiz home because the search bar changed and Odyssey rom uses a modified version of TouchWiz home so this room ACTUALLY USES THE OFFICIAL CAMERA AND TOUCHWIZ HOME

idk what I just wrote there...

FAQ

Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?

A: Make sure you formatted data partition.

Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes?

A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you formatted data partition.

Q: How to format data partition?

A:

Q: Why do i need to format data partition?

A: Because old rom encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

Q: Why not formatting data at twrp install?

A: Phone will boot even if data is encrypted if you don't root. Also system partition is not encrypted meaning you can flash RMM-State_Bypass anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] corsicanu:
My bad, edited the title.

Vaultkeeper prop is tied to vaultkeeper service, that indeed seems to be samsung exynos related service.

Anyway US Samsung variants are very well known for bootloader lock, so even if you had this, bootloader won't let you flash anything.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] haniasita:
Hello there, first time posting here. I'm facing issues with checking whether or not my device is locked, because none of the signs you've listed are telling me anything.

Here's what I did in order :

1. I first checked if the OEM unlock button was present - and it was, so I promptly enabled it.

2. I went into download mode and checked for the RMM state. This is the odd part : There is no RMM entry in the top left in download mode (See attached picture). As you can see by the Knox trip, the picture was taken after my original attempt, but the first time around the information was the exact same.

[IMG="Download Mode information"]https://i.imgur.com/d6WVz52.jpg[/IMG]

3 : Seeing no issues, I went ahead and flashed TWRP, which actually worked without any errors - Odin did display "PASS".

4. I rebooted into TWRP, flashed the RMM bypass, and rebooted to ROM.

At this point, my A8 refused to boot and was stuck in a bootloop, so I flashed back the original firmware and now it's working again, although without root or TWRP.

I still see no signs of any sort of lock on the device. If I wanted to flash TWRP again it would likely do so without any issues, but being afraid of just causing another bootloop, I'd rather report about this before trying anything else. Should I just try again?

RESOLVED : I fixed it by very carefully following the following post : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a8-201.../twrp-3-2-1-1-a8-sm-a530f-02-02-2018-t3744169

It appears some devices, like mine, do not have RMM protection at all. If this is the case for you and you're experiencing the same issues I'm facing, follow the guide above and make sure to do it all very neatly and carefully. Once done, your device will be wiped clean, but rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] mchlbenner:
You can charge the phone that is fine no reboots during the 168 hour that renable oem so can enable oem unlock.

I sharing what work for me you did put it in the right sim 1 right.

This what I did .

When I got phone I did not put sim card in until I had root and everything done.

1) in stall Odin.

2)flash twrp

3)unplug phone boot into twrp by holding power and volume up and down when download mode disappears hold power and volume up you will boot into twrp.

Swipe to allow modifications then swipe to reformat.

4)go to sdcard you put in and install mesas custom kernel v1.

5) install no verity no encrypt ashy.zip.

6) install supsu if you want root.

Know to explain the was accidentally not planned.

Follow this you get TWRP and root.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] PIRATA!:
Is this lock reset again if script is uninstalled and stock rom flashed again?

Is there any chance that on NON-USA devices like A8 2018 can be installed TWRP and be able to revert back to stock without losing warranty in case of Samsung assistance??

Thanks!
