[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zapthos:
Hey guys! I used to have a custom rom, but ever since an update my phone got slow. So I tried different roms, but all of them are having issues with video playback. I downloaded the stock rom from sammobile.com, and flashed it using odin. I got an error with the file sboot.img so I deleted that (people advised me it, so I gave it a try). Now I have got another issue: It's stuck at the samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920f powered by android logo. Also can't boot into recovery, any help??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zapthos:
Finally fixed this!!! I downloaded a newer version and that worked :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] diedmaster:
This is a "bloated out" verison of the miui fastboot rom, its JUST for fixing rom flashes with "ERROR 7"

it will NOT:

flash your recovery to stock (you KEEP you current recovery)

flash you system partition to stock rom (you KEEP you current system)

flashing cust (whatever this s#it is)

http://inzanedanii.de/vince_global_images_V9.2.13.0.FASTBOOT.zip

hope this will help you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Buyaemathenaw:
I can't flash the zip. I 'm using AEX rom now.Why?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] diedmaster:
need try reboot to bootloader (fastboot) and run the file .. so you need to extract the file
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] toystory:
Thanks it works, now install lineage 14 to replace the stock Rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dhimansandeep393:
can you tell how to flash it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] signi:
I think u must use "adb" command from a PC or something equal with Laptop, and your Device must in "Fastboot" Mode

Then via cable data u can remote from the PC with "ADB Command, for more detail , u can search in google : replace booatloder via Fastboot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] diedmaster:
exactly. the phone needs to be in fastboot!

the file needs to be extracted on the desktop or your device and you need to run the .bat file, thats all
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mubasher96:
I tried running the .bat file but even after running it I still got error 7. What I did was unlock bootloader, flash twrp through fastboot, wipe data, boot into fastboot, run.bat file, open twrp and flash ROM, but I got error 7 still. Any idea what is happening?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rashidmalyk:
Dude just open any custom rom zip using winrar etc. don't extract the whole zip just extract the META-INF folder, then delete the META-INF from the custom rom zip, open the folder of META-INF that you have formerly extracted, open updater-script using notepad++ and remove the line starting with "assert...." save the updater-script file and copy the whole META-INF folder to the custom rom zip, copy this zip with modified META-INF to your phone and flash normly using TWRP.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mubasher96:
I tried that too but didnt work. Its working now though. Successfully booted into LOS 15.1. Had to flash and boot into xiaomi.eu after format data once to solve the error 7.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] diedmaster:
this wasnt working for everyone so yea
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mattlowry:
Is anyone working on porting project treble? I would think it would make rom building much easier if this was achieved.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
It wouldn't make much difference per what [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] stated. We could put the vendor blobs on it's own partition, but it wouldn't make building any easier as we still have to get the blobs. ROMs are already working minus gapps install, LTE for Sprint, selinux rules, and audio recording (camcorder, Skype, VoIP calls on soft phones, etc). There might be smaller issues I don't notice personally.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mattlowry:
Ok I was just doing a bunch of reading on the topic and it appeared that there were generic images that could be flashed when you have treble
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
Generic images won't have motomods support. Right now, the greybus driver is built in-line with the kernel and sits in the boot image which would change with a generic image.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mattlowry:
No one cares about Moto mods ?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
? yeah, if only. I get hounded because my AOSP kernel doesn't support motomods due to me building with linaro still and it causes issues with the build of the greybus drivet
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
if we use the oem partition and created a GSI for the Moto z family then treble could be usable with moto mods built in with the standard gcc toolchain google used, correct me if im mistaken but i think they are still on 4.8. Anyway treble can mean really big thing i bricked my AT&T moto z2 trying to exploit it to gain root (epic fail on to the tmobile unit that works now) on it and have since replaced and started looking into treble as the custom roms i was building had a GSI, so i then wanted to focus on getting a treble system up and running on my z2 force and will post once i have better progress and a repeatable process.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
It all would work except for one thing. Motomods. That is in system and kernel. Both are not in the treble images.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
sweet so when i rebuild a GSI if it is made to include the files in the image, and maybe a extra zip for a kernel to go with it? i want to build a GSI ROM i can install on the whole Z family, and it sounds like it may need to have an extra package to install after the GSI. this treble thing is a new field for me so i am just trying to see what we can do with it.

Do you guys like the Notch on OnePlus 6
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zh1361016116:
Oh,I just hate it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ash110:
Actually, could someone explain to me why the notch is so bad apart from the fact that it's "copied from Apple". Most iPhone X users say that after using for just a few days you learn to ignore the notch. Moreover, It's considerably smaller on the OP6 than the iPhone X. Considering there is no other alternative to have a bezel-less display on all sides without a notch, I don't really see why so many people are hating on it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:
I voted yes, but to be honest i don't really care. It will be strange at first, but i'll get used to it later
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joe864864:
Personally I don't care. I know they do it to increase the screen real estate but does that little bit really make a big difference? I'm running the 3T currently and I'm perfectly happy with the screen size. I wish they would spend the development on other areas.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dasche:
notch or no notch, but oneplus device will be top notch as always. (overall)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
It hinders status bar space. You have to expand your status bar which you used to not have to.

It's not the end of the world, but I prefer my phone without the notch (unless it's compact like the Essential.)

The picture below is how Asus has it configured on their newest device.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoost:
I hate notch.

It's waste of screen space and I don't care for selfie cam.

For me it might be Oneplus 6 but I prefer Mi Mix 2S
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:
Yeah, if the price is too high, i'll buy the Mix 2S for sure.

But.. Oh god IPS :(
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] -sohail:
Seems absolutely rubbish.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] andicap:
I hate notch. I buy mix 2 s also. Notch is not a flagship killer :laugh:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BratPAQ:
If the notch can be hidden then it's ok. I really have no experience with notch but I didn't like what I saw from others with notch. That when you put the video to full screen there's a missing part of the video on where the notch is. But if thats not the case then I guess I'm OK with it.

There should be an option where you can shift the status bar below the notch line and put black bars on the notch line to hide the notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xJovs:
I'm not a big fan of the notch but if the screen is AMOLED (which is practically confirmed) then I wouldn't mind hiding it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] t2jbird:
The notch makes sense to me. The added screen is essentially for design and to prevent the status bar from taking space away from other apps. I think it looks better than Essential or Apple.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] exalented:
I would be able to look past the notch if they included expandable storage.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cas8180:
People will vote with their wallets. Of the op6 bombs cause of the notch it's a safe bet the 6t will be notchless. Just hold out and wait. Their 't' devices tend to end up being what consumers really want and there main version devices seem to be a public test device to figure out how they're consumers will react.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CYB3R0ID694:
I would like to buy OP6, but this Notch looks crap..

So going to buy Nokia 8 Sirocco..

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

Well, But point is Android is Android.. Apple is Apple..

No need to copy Apple product design because Android is already 2-3 years ahead of Apple in Technology..

+ iPhone X didn't sold as expected so they have dropped it's Production... So there is Many things Android Phone Manufacturers should learn...

People's want more Battery Juice along with Camera...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsferra1:
If I recall correctly the first phone with a notch was not Apple I know many folks think it was but the first phone with a notch came from Essential and in fact was a small notch then Apple came out with there's which I think is big.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Martinocom:
Notch is a perfect example of something that users never asked for, but they did it anyway. It's a horrible way to achieve a bezel-less phones (who cares?), cutting the screen. So now we all know that only a few percentage of programmes will care about optimize their apps for notched screens.

We don't need a notch and bezel-less phones. We need a phone that's durable, last long, have a good camera and it's good for everyday use. Why then adding notch? Look at the P20 Lite, a perfect example of the fact that notch is only a trend: put the phone at 180' and then remove the notch from the bottom. They couldn't do it like this? No! Cos Apple (yes, essential to it first) decided to make this fatal move and say to everyone "hey, notch is here, let's make this sh*t". Every producer now wants it, but Apple is rumoured to remove it on next iPhone. Brilliant, stupid fools. Now everybody will have cutted screens BUT Apple not. #Genius

I want a full screen phone. We want a full screen experience without compromising our screens. If you aren't able to make the full screen phones, just don't try to workaround it, especially if the way to do it is so useless, ugly and no-sense
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsferra1:
I don't mind the notch but if we can have a full screen without then I'm all for it, but if iinorder to remove the notch you need a pop-up camera I can see that going wrong and the camera breaking off in your pocket or as you turn around and it gets cought on something and the camera gets riped off or the phone gets locked out of your hand and Bam new phone time.

That would be good for the manufacturer and stores but not the consumer.

I do not believe we will ever be able to make a phone everyone will like and that is why we have more than one manufacturer some everyone should be able to find something they will like or is willing to live with.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm skipping the 6 because of the notch.

If I have to get a new phone, it'll only be Mix 2S or the S9+.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gunde:
Why would I buy a phone with something I need to learn to ignore?? A better questions is: who actively likes the notch?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
no notch for me.

decided to not go with the oneplus 6. im an early supporter and im quite disappointed about their direction.

looking a new alternative this year and maybe forward.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
notch worst design thing ever, thanks apple and those who blindly copied just because was apple.. ridicolous. never gonna get a phone with notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
I like it...

I like mi mix 2s better though.. but development sucks...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsferra1:
I don't mind the notch I can take it or leave it, but from what I understand on the OP6 you can hide the notch so if you want to to hide it you can, we will see soon I hope waiting on the OP6 to come out ...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SantinoInc:
Not a fan of it at all. However, I think I'm going to give this phone a shot. I have been on mostly Samsung devices but have had everything from the Mi Mix, to LG, HTC, etc. Want to try something new.

I'm going to wait for the reviews to roll in for this phone and compare contrast to the upcoming Note 9, Mi Mix 2s and others. Leaning towards this though because I never had a OnePlus
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uchiha_It@chi:
+1

I would go with mix 2s
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sum_rndm_wht_gy:
I don't mind it as of now. I might change my mind later once it's fully announced and fully visual. If anyone is going for the full bezelless phone take after Vivo with their Apex phone.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gulshanstrider:
I doubt Xiaomi will launch Mix 2s in India, because Mix 2 didnt get any good response in India, this is the reason that Xiaomi didnt launched Mi6 after failure of mi5.

We have to go for OP6 and I dont care about the Notch
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uchiha_It@chi:
Doesn't matter for me (I am from India) used one plus one ,op3

Opt was good ;_;

But price was just too much

If u want mix 2s U can order through aliexpress or banggood
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gulshanstrider:
ordering from Aliexpress and Banggood is too much hassle.

Customs are huge pain in a** in India
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBen60:
I wanted to buy the One Plus 6 to replace my Galaxy S8.

But this phone is notch for me. I don't want a notch on my phone ! Even if we can hide it !

It's too bad because I want to own a One Plus phone since the One Plus 2... But come on, be original ! Don't do like everyone else do (and I'm not only talking about the notch, but also the price)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannyboyex:
As long as there's still a headphone jack
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] x111:
It's very horrible decision to go with this disturbing ugly notch on top.

They have a lot of room on the bottom for any sensor and camera !!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rav101:
The Mi Mix series of phones have used this method. The challenge is that you then have to raise the phone a lot higher to take a photo otherwise you're taking a photo of your chin / neck.

Either way it's a compromise of sorts
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] justyourimage:
delete me
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nexnebula:
I've tried the zenfone 5 and the main problem is exactly the huge screen to body ratio. Without a >little< bit more bezel at top and bottom, pulling the notification (or anything really) is a hazzard for 1 hand use. I can't use it unless it's ipx size.

I don't know if it's adjustable, but seeing people play pubg with the notch distorting the controls is such a turn off.

Imma get s9 soon cause I can't live without stereo speaker after moving from z3c to op3. Lots of fun features like aod with gif and edge lighting really interest me.

Hopefully the famed sammy UI and bloats don't pose too much problems. wish me luck guys.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
don't do that.. you won't like it believe me! ;):D

ps. I have just got my xz2c and I fell in love with it. perfect dimensions for me :victory:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lunafag:
If they aimed for bezelless, notch is a failure because now you can't completely hide the status bar. In real world usage it will be worse than 5t. If they have a lick of common sense they should copy vivo apex in their next version.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruicc:
Me too...what alternatives can be consider? Mix 2s?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
I hate the notch.. and also the fullscreen phones (bezelless).. how should i grab if i have no bezels? I mostly use the phone one hand. Also i much prefer the fingerprint sensor in the front of the phone, very handy if you unlock while on the table (i do this very often)

Other stupid trend is round corners/edge displays (been using s6 edge, i cannot bear the flare)

They go over looks instead ergonomics.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsferra1:
I'm unsure what my next phone will be but I won't count out the notch since it looks like more and more phones are using it, I don't care either way I'm keeping an open mind since I don't have one now and have only looked at my son's phone which is the PH1 and I don't mind the notch on it the little time I have played with it.

With more and more phones are going with small or no bezels I don't see that as a bad thing as you can add a case that you like that will add some to the sides for the grip you may need or make fit in you hand the way you like it.

The big issue I have is the price I just don't understand why they have to keep jacking the price up so high look at the price of the iPhones and even the Samsungs I have a hard time spending alot on a phone, yes I like technology and smart phones but 900 or more for a phone not thanks unless it can make the bed and clean the windows after making the coffee.

Sorry about rambling ....
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MTK6589:

Yeah agreed, but with all things truly great... You pay for it. We as individual customers need to figure out what's important to us... Do we need an okay camera or do we want the best camera on the market? Neither is wrong
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
First thing that comes to mind is that I dislike people saying it's copying Apple. They weren't first or even second. The second thing is that notches are a flash in the pan. Even Apple is working on getting a fingerprint scanner under the screen and if you believe the rumors will use a two stage biometric by keeping the fancy cameras (that pop up) when they get there. Meanwhile the first phone with the reader embedded and no notch will go on sale this summer and is wowing in first looks available now on YouTube. Not just cool looks but you can turn the thing on without getting your face in front of it or picking it up, a key issue with on take use such as using the calculator while filling out forms.

I personally hate the notch and being as it's already a dead man walking and I'm on the latest greatest anyways I won't have to worry about trying to make friends with it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] timartinhof:
We live dark times in Smartphone culture.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
Pixel removed he headphone jack after apple did. Also google is adding native notch support in AOSP. I'd say it's pretty safe bet the next pixel will have a notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
think so that's why i got my new phone now instead of waiting the new pixels.. also it seems to me Google is completely ruining UI in P.. let's see
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
the notch is a design necessity from a hardware perspective

in order to have a near borderless design you need a notch to house the camera/sensors - there will almost definitely be an option to hide the notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ash110:
That was exactly my point. Most people seem to be hating without understanding this, despite OnePlus assuring there will be an option to hide the notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
I started to hate the idea of a glass back than the notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
what you don't understand is that hiding it via sw or not, it is still there and it is damn ugly and in the end useless.

it is needed? for what? to save 5mm height in phones that nowadays are 150mm high and more?? you must be kidding.. really a nonsense

but apple made it, so many are just blindly copying for this reason. if it was another maker, at this point the only android phone available with notch would be, luckily, the essential phone.

i much prefer very small bezels that can house the sensors rather than that ugly and irregular screen with notch. but if you like it, go for it.. and now also get Android P that will also get closer to ios in terms of UI.. so ugly my god!! then everyone will buy iphones directly and android world will have deserved it. poor no-identity phone makers..
