[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperEscape:
So my Xperia Z5 Dual E6633 died on me suddenly and then gave the dreaded sleep of death with red led blinking three times. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it would vibrate once and the screen remained blank. Initially I thought the LCD has given up and I replaced it with a new LCD, which was a extra expense booked in losses now. The phone still showed the same behavior , sometimes a long press on the power button made it vibrate three times and then nothing happened. Unfortunately it had a lot of data which was not backed up.

I tried all the tricks in this thread

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

and followed the bits and pieces here as well

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35332880&postcount=141

However till to date I am not able to make a successful resurrection. Just wanted to share the situation so maybe I can get some additional help or guidance. I have downloaded the XperFirm and Flashtool latest version and downloaded the latest FTF files for my reigon.

The phone was "not" rooted and the USB debugging option was never activated.

I am able to boot in either FLASH (Power+Down) Green LED and FASTBOOT (Power+UP) blue LED. The phone is able to hold the states and get recognized in Flashtool.

Using the Flashtool I have tried to flash the FTF with full wipe in the FLASH mode, the flashing completes successfully, however when I turn the mobile on, it still remains in the same state of a blank screen at startup with no signs or LEDs to let me know its state.

I think I have lost my data anyways since I chose a full wipe including SSD and USERDATA during flashing, however I had a hope that if I am able to boot into the system, i would run some undelete apps to restore my pics.

Using the Flashtool , if I boot in FASTBOOT mode, it gets recognized and I am able to run commands to get version and check state and even I have sent the Kernel.sin and System.sin via fastboot mode as well, dont know clearly if it got thru or not. This doesnt help the situation as well. The fastboot mode somehow does not work well with the ADB command prompts. If I run "adb devices" on the command prompt, I am not able to see any devices, however it does get recognized in the Flashtool.

I think I have run out of options when the board is responding to fastboot and flash mode, however unable to boot even after a full flash.

If anyone has any other options or guidance left for me to try, then I would appreciate the help.

Thanks.

grab universal-safetynet-fix-v2-beta-5-magisk-v14.zip from

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984533

Clean flash your ROM as normal (I used Alberto's AOSP 8.1 13-3-18 to test):

Advanced Wipe the usual 4: Dalvik/ART, system, data, cache .

Flash ROM

Flash appropriate gapps (for this it was opengapps 8.1 arm64 nano)

Boot to install to desktop.

->>> wait a minute or 2 for google to update

Reboot to recovery

Flash latest Magisk (1620) (this was tested with 1600).

Boot to desktop (I have to boot to desktop twice before the Magisk manager icon appears - go figure!!!)

Boot back to Recovery.

Flash the old Magisk from above (v2 beta5).

Boot back to desktop and check Magisk Manager /settings /modules and you should see the old one now sitting in modules!

You are now rooted and fully safteynet'ed. :D

EDIT - for soaks and folks testing 8.x stock and or signed ROMs see this for magisk-izing an 8.x stock ROM

Does there exist charger adapter from nokia(older=bigger) to htc miniusb? I have those nokia chargers everywhere and it's easier to buy adapter than buy whole bunch of new chargers.
[Touch Cruise Accessories] Rudegar:
htc use extUSB which is the same thing as normal miniusb

apart from they carry audio

so if you can find a whatever nokia connector to any miniusb

converter

as long as the nokia dont provide more then 5volts

or it will fry your phone
[Touch Cruise Accessories] Löyly:
So there is a such adapter?

Does nokia say which voltage do they use in those adapters?
[Touch Cruise Accessories] Rudegar:
try google for the nokia adaptor name

and write miniusb after

all charges i ever seen for any device which used chargers

had written what volt they provides on the charger itself
[Touch Cruise Accessories] Löyly:
Maybe there is somewhere, but i don't order from abroad because i'm so careful.

Only adapter i found, is that nokia's old to new version.
[Touch Cruise Accessories] Rudegar:
most phone makers seem to have agree'd on using miniusb chargers maybe the "nokia new" is just that

nokia new is the tiny little round thing they switched to from the old so dont'bother. no clue about the rest though.

[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] shagunps97:
Hello XDA community.

I'm a 3D artist and Graphic designer and recently a client asked me to create a loading screen GIF for their Android/IOS app.

The Animated GIF pops up when some page is loading so it needs transparency or Alpha outside of the actual GIF.

The issue here is that the GIF i made has Jagged and Pixelated edges. This might be because of the limitation of GIF format.

Is there a way to make an animated GIF with the Bg removed that has smooth edges?

If there isn't then how do other apps do this? How are those animated things implemented?

I couldn't find anything searching on google. Please help.

All help is greatly appreciated.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rodolphe06:
Hi,

Strange dual sim works on custom roms. What do not work is to disable one of the two.

Which ROM you tried ?

Did you set apn ?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] hazemnada:
I'm now on viper tried b4 several roms even the option to chose between sims isn't available and what do u mean by apn i didn't set something so
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rodolphe06:
Yes there is no option disable sim on custom.

Here under sim/parameter check is all is well set.

Sorry its in french.

Edit: i got sometimes 2 sims and had no issue

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
Hope somebody can help me, this is driving me insane... I swear, I want to take this sh*** of a phone and smash it against the wall....

anyways, I have received long awaited Oreo. Updated, all OK. Pretty fast, nice new look like list view in recents etc. Then I found out that when I run Secure folder, it simply freezes. It displays Iris scan/pattern and for like 20 seconds, doesn't react to touches. I can see it working in the background, CPU monitor is changing numbers, but it simply doesn't allow me to draw pattern. When It does 20 seconds later, the pattern is drawn, and Sec Folder opened. Then it takes like 10 seconds to react to anything. and from then on - it works OK. Then I exist Sec folder - same thing! It stops reacting like 20 seconds, and after all is OK.

OK, I say, I have Plasmalite which does something on System level, I'll uninstall it. I uninstall Plasmalite, couple more apps that have anything to do with system (0pt navbar), AdHell2 etc. Later I found out Adhell2 doesn't work, nor does 0px navbar). So I try everything, even uninstall Secure folder, install again - same thing. I wipe cache partition, same thing.

OK, f*** it, I will do Factory reset.

so after factory reset it is much better. No delay on running Sec folder but Sec folder sometimes just closes when launched. not always, but often. it is either closed immediately after launch, or it works. some delays and STRANGE screen redrawing when moving pictures from gallery to Secure folder (like empty screen!!), but it kinda works.

I restore f***ing phone ,took me 2 days. I want to hide navbar, so I install Substratum, Andromeda, Immersive bar and some other navbar replacement app, and it kinda works. But! The Freeze problem on running Sec folder is BACK!

I uninstall everything, reboot phone, but still, there is delay on running Sec folder....

Is there anything I might try? I really can't spend another 2 days restoring my phone it is so boring and frustrating. Damn Samsung.

Thanx

D.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
Dunno if it's possible on EMUI 5, but on LineageOS they're getting disabled automatically and other ROMs (like AospExtended) has an option to enable/disable them during calls. Maybe you can do a workaround with Tasker app.

This whole forum is now just people complaining about how Oreo wrecked their S8's. I'm on TMO with an S8+ and I've wanted Oreo for some time but after seeing all this, I'm going to wait a few months and let the bugs get worked out. What a disaster.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Barthlon:
Thanks for sharing. What are you having for diner tonight?

And oh, what is you favorite color?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jaannnis:
Im on oreo fpr a while now, I don't really see any groundbracking positive changes, but I didn't have a single problem with the rom which i could blame completely on oreo. Of course some fc here and some compatibility issues there.

What I want to say is that I really do not have had any problems with oreo and at some of the problems the only thing possible is to blame the user. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MrDusan:
Well, for a system that didn't introduce any big changes, at least they could've made sure that it doesn't bring new bugs. FC-s, lagging apps and other bugs shouldn't be happening on a system that's been trough such a extensive beta testing period, and it has even been paused for a week for being unstable.

I consider myself a very cautious and well trained user, and for me the oreo is just... unfinished. Still looks rushed even after so much waiting.

So I totally agree with OP. Don't update to oreo if U ask me :) Nougat has everything we need and doesn't come with bugs in the package.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] andy_n_:
I am on oreo on an S8+, and I have to say, that you are wildly overreacting. It has absolutely 0 issues for me. I don't know what you have read, but for the majority of people, it works perfectly. Samsung has not spent the last 6 months sitting around on their heels, they have been testing and validating TW on oreo.

Let me make it perfectly clear for you.

Number of FCs on Oreo: 0

Number of laggy apps on Oreo: 0

Number of crashes on Oreo: 0

Battery performance on Oreo > Battery performance on N

So I have to completely disagree with your overreaction.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zelenko:
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] s4shield:
Of course they are. It's a forum! Oreo has made my device feel like a new christmas present! I've had a couple small issues that I worked out but I would much rather be on Oreo. And also yes why did you need to announce that you aren't going to update? :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AlaaBinSalah:
I have updated 48 hours ago. Everything seemed fine at the beginning as I wasn't using the phone too much, then I started seeing the danger, crashes every now and then, lags all around, freezes.. what else? I know that 50% of these issues are related to some apps needing updates "maybe" like the WhatsApp attachment crash (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/help/s8-oreo-update-whatsapp-stopped-crash-t3766697) which has been bugging me out a lot!

Other issues are Samsung's fault for sure, the device is kinda useless now if I compare it to how it has been on Nougat unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] merlin66676:
How many of you that are having issues have done a factory reset and or wiped cache from within the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ipred:
No problems with Oreo so far. Everything works great! :)

Take note that:

a) I use Nova Prime launcher so i don't know if the stock Samsung launcher has problems.

b) I don't use the stock Samsung apps (dialer, sms, mail, notes and etc) except from Samsung browser which works great.

c) I did a factory reset after the installation of Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ryanpm40:
I really don't think it's this whole forum at all lol. People who complain are just louder than people who are content.

I got the update on my Verizon S8+ 5 days ago. I notice absolutely nothing negative about it. Battery still sucks, but no worse than Nougat. The phone feels much faster, picture and picture is awesome, the new emojis are great, using GIFS and Bitmoji from the Google keyboard now works, Google assistant now works while the screen is off, among a lot of other updates. I see zero reason to stick with Nougat.

I've cleared my cache, too, so maybe that helps any potential issues I'm unaware of. I'm considering a factory wipe to see if the battery does improve, but since it isn't worse from the update, I'm not in as much of a rush. I also always use Nova Launcher so idk if people have been having issues with Samsung's default home screen.

Hi everybody,

I have experienced a time of this google camera port and found it quite stable, no crash.

And I decided to share it with everyone :)

It runs fine on Lineages, Mokee, AOSP Rom and MIUI

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] stole38:
In order to use the excellent Google Camera features ( HDR+ and etc.) you need to have Camera2 API Enabled, to do that you need root.

Otherwise you can just install some basic google camera with sub-optimal performance.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] 7i7oVN:
yes, but you should turn off hdr mode in portrait mode
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] 7i7oVN:
There are 2 versions here. If you use the first version, you will use the portrait mode normally. If you use the second version, during use you must turn off the hdr mode in portrait mode

I just checked it thoroughly. The first version is compatible with all roms. The second version is compatible with MIUI
