Flashing your phone with the Canadian firmware will remove the Verizon bloatware, but will not carrier unlock the phone. That is to say the unlocked firmware is not an unlocked phone.

Hi all, i have s9+ SM-965F which is purchased from t-mobile and i'm comparing it to s9+ same model buyed from outside of EU but having same model number.

I tapped on both devices same apps like facebook, nfs no limits and mine is slower. Why anyone have idea?

Same Issue

I am having the same issue with my T-Mobile S9+. I love the phone, but it will sometimes not load apps at all. I’ve gone into Safe Mode, deleted apps, and even wiped and started over. I thought I was the only one, but my friends S9 plus does the same thing. His friends Verizon S9 plus does not do that. My phone overall is a little slower in general. I reached out to T-Mobile and of course the robots reading scripts don’t really know anything. I love T-Mobile and the phone, but man, my iPhone 8 was so much faster, just a dumber phone.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:
So I replaced glass /digitizer in Co workers pixel. I took it apart 3 different times to redo the job, with three different types of tape. Every time within a couple hours one of the corner starts coming up. So I finally called a buddy who owns one of those cell phone repair places, to ask him what the heck. He told me the factory tape is the best stuff you can get and nobody can get it. He said every brand of phone is the same way. What he told me they do, where comes up you take a thin piece of paper and put a thin super glue on it and dab it in there. I was hoping one of you guys would know the best tape to use or maybe there's a special glue I wouldn't think you'd want to use super glue in case you ever got to take it back apart. I think it's crazy you can't get the same tape they used to put them together in the first place.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pedefede:
I hope this is not too noob'ish a question:

What is the advantage of

1. installing (most of) your programs in a ROM,

vs.

2 having a rather clean/small ROM, and installing (a lot of) CABS afterwards?

I know 1. is a bit easier.

But is there any difference in performance?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mccune:
I would say that you can't install anything into the ROM ;)

That's why they use the ROM to fill it with the "cookers" special needs ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
The Advantage of Rom Installed Software:

You don't have to manually install it after a Hard Reset of Flash. Enough said on that, it saves you some time.

The Disadvantages of Rom Installed Software:

Uses Rom Memory for the original copy of files and Storage memory for anything that must be moved as part of initial setup. So anything that can't simply stay in Windows folder is duplicated elsewhere. For example if you prefer to have your programs in folders under the Program Files Folder then a program that uses 1mb will use 1mb of Rom memory and then when it is copied (remember you can't really delete Rom Files) it will use 1mb of Storage Memory also for a total of 2mb of used memory.

Can't uninstall original version when an upgraded version is avaliable. Sure the Rom file can be marked as deleted so they aren't listed in File Explorer anymore but they are rom files so you don't free-up any space.

More files in your Windows Folder. While the affect this has on our devices isn't 100% clear we do know that it slows opening the windows folder and I believe that it does cause a general slowdown in the device's overall functioning. This is why I prefer to have programs installed to their own folders.

The Advantages of Manually Installed Software:

Saves Rom Memory which increases Storage Memory. Basically since you have everything in Storage Memory you aren't paying extra for anything as nothing took any Rom Memory.

Can uninstall original version when an upgraded version is avaliable. Yes, since everything was installed into Storage Memory you can actually deleted the files to upgrade thus saving Memory.

Fewer files in your Windows Folder. While the affect this has on our devices isn't 100% clear we do know that it speeds-up opening the windows folder and I believe that it does affect the device's overall functioning. This is why I prefer to have programs installed to their own folders.

The Disadvantage of Manually Installed Software:

You have to manually install it after a Hard Reset of Flash. Enough said on that, it costs you some time. UC Compliant Roms can overcome this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pietrucci:
Well, as some cooks report: there seems to be an extra advantage of installing into ROM: everything seems to work a little smoother and faster. Don't know how or why exactly but has to do something with the after-installing process which makes the device less stabile.

Experiments have shown that of you take a full ROM vs. a lite ROM with the extra's from the full ROM installed afterwards, the full ROM is faster and more stabile.

Kyphur: I believe the second red and green titles are wrong? (I believe yoe mean Cab Installed Software?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
One of the reason that loading windows up with files slows everything down is because the are all paged & cached, depending on the settings. Once the device catches up, it's not as noticable.

Storage card Files cannot be paged like the cooked in files. That's why some programs will add .exe & .dll resources to \windows even though themajority of the files are indeed installed to the SD card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
I don't install to my storage card anymore. Why would I do that when I start out with over 160mb of free Storage memory?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pietrucci:
No, I don't either. But also with installing on the device there seems to be some (speed)difference in ROM installing and CAB-installing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChaOConnor:
I'm with Kyphur on this one. The less I have in the ROM, the better because software is constantly changing, being upgraded, etc. Also, I find a lot of times my needs vary and I don't require so much "stuff" on my ROMs, so w/ the XDA-Live approach, I have the freedom to only install what I need. I guess it's a matter of preference really. Sure there are technical differences, both they are overcome either way, so it just comes down to what you like better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pedefede:
Ok ... thanks!

- Do you by any chance have a link to such a benchmark?

- Does that also go for ROMs you cook yourself (with Alex' Kitchen)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zoolooc:
How to actually mark as deleted files in ROM?

Hello, this is an interesting thread, and I also hope you guys know more on this, since you're explaining the concept (and I also searched for a solution, but sorry, didn't find, I might have not used the proper keywords for searching):

So I flashed Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19716 UC RTM (but which ROM it is, doesn't really matter) as my question is related to "deleting" (or at least marking as deleted) ROM files. My problem is, I want to delete \Windows\Long Send.lnk because I don't like the Comm Manager show up when holding the green Send key during a call, while I'm expecting the phone to go into speakerphone mode like used from many other phones (even my Sagem cordless at home behaves this way). The folks in this ROM's thread suggested to delete that shortcut file (which is what I think they know right if they hadn't omitted the fact that the file is in ROM), but none of the in ROM or read-only attributes can be changed with Total Commander, so I can't "delete" it. Now I understand it's supposed to be just marked as deleted as it is "in ROM", so it is supposed to survive a hard reset, but how can I mark it deleted for the time being (next ROM upgrade for example, or hard-reset)?.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pietrucci:
No I don't have a benchmark of this. But then again: the current benchmarks (SPB and VS Benchmark) aren't that reliable.

I remember one cook from the Hermes device (maybe it was Pandora) made a ultra-lite version with an option to autorun everything afterwards with cabs.

This ROM wasn't as fast and snappy as the original full ROM. I think he quitted developing the ROM further.

Don't know if it's always true that everything's worse installing with cabs, it was just something a remembered from the past.

(by the way: I also install a lot from cabs...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] calvinzhang:
the ROMs change too, and not slower than the softwares
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zoolooc:
But flashing every week a new ROM is not for everyone. The possibility to flash once in a while is cool and good enough for lots of people, but doesn't have to become the main occupation ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
That's what "UC" is for! Auto Install all of your apps. Just remember to keep the cab files updated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
For me, one of the biggest advantage of full rom is I save a lot of time in doing backup since the files in the rom already.

Another advantage of full rom is they don't need to store any files under \Windows\AppMgr since they can't be uninstall anyway.

To overcome the bad effects of full rom. I tend to consider the following when putting programs in my full rom.

1. File can be run under \Windows

2. Programs that don't change that often, or doesn't need the latest version.

Hi guys

So, I got one of these 4x global last summer, and I'm very happy with this phone, but I have an issue with the vertical swipe to answer incoming calls

I'm used to the "normal" horizontal swipe from my previous phones (I had some Samsungs, and a couple of Sony's Xperia, still have an old Z1 compact when my 4x runs out of battery), and I just can't get used to this vertical swipe.

I did a search on google play apps for some call screen apps, and installed some 10 or so, but none of them worked well

My phone is running the stock Marshmallow 8.2.18.0 (by the way, it should have been already updated, but the update tool says there's no updates available)

Did any of you had the same issue? How did you solve it?

You're using MIUI's default phone app? Most of today's phone interface uses vertical swipe to answer calls. There's no setting available to change that from the app itself.
