[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
I've tried out several of the ROMs available for the Droid 4 and I was already taking notes on each of them, so thought I'd share a review on each here. I already posted my thoughts on LineageOS 14.1 in a previous thread so we'll skip straight to crDroid.

crDroid 3.8.5 is the latest addition to the D4 scene. It runs Android 7.1.2 and is based on LineageOS 14.1, apparently branched from the spyder builds. Its advantages include support for JJB's overclock kernels, in fact WiFi doesn't work without it; support for use of the altpart Safestrap to repurpose the webtop partition and give you the largest 1.3GB /system partition in your stock slot; built-in signature spoofing for MicroG/Xposed support; the most recent (Jan/2018) Android security patch level; integrated custom fonts; Ad Away browser integration; great battery life; and its own cool settings section with lots of other custom features. Like all Android V5+ versions this supports hand-wave notifications on the lock screen.

Its disadvantages are that it's fairly thick due to being on 7.1.2, and unless you're running MicroG or a very tiny Gapps package (Slim Zero or OpenG pico), it can be slow, though not nearly as bad as LineageOS 14.1 on which it's based. Videos are jerky and audio stutters. It's really intended to be used with MicroG. And despite being around only six months, it is no longer officially supported by the crDroid team, so no further updates at this time. A major factor for users of Google Voice is that it displays the routing phone number of your call rather than your actual destination phone number during the call, which can be confusing at worst and annoying at best. The call log still shows the correct destination phone number though. I'm not sure where the bug for this lives but it is specific to the ROM. Most annoyingly, the swipe-to-unlock is quirky - you have to swipe fully from bottom to top, and fairly quickly. It usually takes a couple attempts before the phone unlocks, making it difficult if not impossible to do with one hand.

Verdict: Best of the AOSP V7 ROMs for D4. But V7 isn't necessarily the best choice for D4 because of its high RAM usage. Unless there's a reason you absolutely need to run V7, i.e. for an app, you're better off with an older release that uses less RAM.
[Motorola Droid 4] Flash-A-Holic:
Thanks for you review. It is awesome to see that there still is active members hanging around. In my mind Lollipop was a bit laggy on Droid 4 compared to KitKat roms but Marshmallow and specially Nougat roms have improved the situation. I can consider Nougat as a daily driver for Droid 4 in 2018. I just hope that we could still see Android Oreo Go edition on our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drsaidalavi:
Hello,

I am one of the unfortunate people who own Samsung galaxy Note-8 SM-N9500 duos. There are no custom roms available in XDA, and nor we can install Xposed in it. There are modified Stock roms available in Chinese forums for this variant, but unfortunately all are in Chinese language.. So any expert XDA members, kindly make these roms in English and upload for us to enjoy them.

Eagerly waiting

Thanking you

drsaidalavi

What's unfortunate to own this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Lol. Do read his post again !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drsaidalavi:
Unrortunate because

No modified rom,

No custom rom,

No xposed,

Nobody porting the available Chinese rom for this variant SM-N9500

We have to satisfy with the original stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myechophone:
And you still bought the phone before researching what dev options are available? Sweet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ygecesefa:
did you try flash hk csc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drsaidalavi:
YES

I am in stock rom now but rooted wit China TWRP and SuperSU

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zedhed:
I have been on the same quest to find a port or away to Flash to a US based FW. I have had not real luck other than hints that it may take a Odin FW flash based off of SM-N950U1 I can not confirm. If someone can help with anyway to get the Phone to work on a US carrier (Big Red for me) It would sure be appreciated.

If I find anything else I will post here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Thomas Kovatsis:
When will come the Android oreo finally???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
So you wouldn't recommend getting the 9500 duos? Can't it be US localized? Can you explain more why it's unfortunate?

Is it better to get the 950F/DS?

I am thinking about changing to a dual SIM but I can't find a 128gb dual SIM except the 9500. I need 2 sims but 64 gb wont really be enough for me . Would appreciate understanding better the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vaichrome:
well there are pros and cons. I used to have a fully functioning note 8 N9500 dual sim 256GB. then i rooted haha now sending sms don't work but everything else works. there is an oreo update too. and also U just saw in the Forums that Dr. Ketan is looking for testers of the HK rom. I think he might have translated the Chinese language. so I voluntered. no reply yet as I just messaged him about the tester. since my note 8 is messed up. will update soon as i hear from him and test the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drsaidalavi:
Please informe me when it is ready
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DionWhite33:
Be careful I bought SM-N9500N Korean version, the 256GB 6GB RAM Blue one that we Do have root and xposed for. There is this bullcrap called the "Black screen of Death" and its Samsungs faulty software crashing our phones! The messed up part is once it happens Samsung IS NOT helping anyone with any type of International Version this year! So my phone as of 2 days ago is officially done. It makes it so it wont charge. My phone now when I plug it onto computers has a different name as well. It used to say NOTE 8 now its says omni_greatlte!!! Also if you charge it wirelessly and hard reboot etc.... NOTHING!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vaichrome:
Thank you for the info brother. I hope that the tgy and chc variants are not affected by this :( . I sure will watch for this. I think the korean variant is exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
have a charger charge it with the cable and have a second source charge it on a charging mat. leave it for 30 mins and try again

dont think your issues are inherently because its a Korean n950n.

im on the exact same phone and have 0 harware/stock software issues since last october.

i flash several times a week. gone back and forth between stock and custom, nougat and oreo.

issue you describe seem to be the deep discharge problem that is not related to your specific model.

alot of people will say the n950n is the best model of the note 8 and appart form it not being dual sim, i surely think it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DionWhite33:
I did that I've been doing it for 2 days and it still hasn't taken a charge yet. When I left work it was on about 88% I walk from the building to the car pulled my phone out to call my wife and it was totally dead in the blue light was blinking. I try to do reboots and pull up TWRP all night long and nothing would happen. By this point it was 2 a.m. and I fell asleep I woke up the next day fresh and worked on it for about 8 hours trying to do reboots and charge it. From that point I went out and bought a wireless charger and use that as well as using a regular charger going back and forth back and forth back and forth all day yesterday. So I've been doing that for two days and it still is acting like it will not charge at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
have you held power +bixby+vol down for like 1 minute?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DionWhite33:
I've done every configuration imaginable. I've been rooting for 8 years and I've had every Samsung Galaxy Note since they Note 2

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

The only thing I can think of now is to maybe get a better wireless charger I bought a little cheaper one from Rite Aid for 10 bucks. It did charge my Note 5 though. I just don't get it it just went dead but I Googled the issue and stories about the black screen of death came up

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

The phone dress will not charge at all. Even when I plug it into my laptop it doesn't even registers and notate anymore it registers as a name of a Samsung software. I'll send you the name in a few minutes I'm at the store buying paint right now

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Or possibly the last thing I can think of is Samsung doesn't honor warranties on the international version. Is maybe to ship it out to one of the developers and just send him some cash and let him tinker with it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
although this is getting off topic,

after reading around the web, instead of holding the combo buttons for 1 minute, it seems it is more for around 10 minutes. once you get dl mode might as well flash stock just in case.

might want to start your own thread if not already done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DionWhite33:
Thank you so much I'm going to go get a nice charger now and try that. I think the longest I did was probably about 2 minutes

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

I just wanted to really say thank you. I've had a very bad week with a lot of things going wrong and then when my phone broke and kind of was the icing on the cake. If I could just get that working a lot of things would kind of Melt Away. But thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vaichrome:
if the odin is open. does odin recognize your phone? if it does then flash away with stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DionWhite33:
Because the phone won't turn on I use a wireless charger to charge it up. At this point I don't get any lights on the phone whatsoever when I hold the power and volume down the phone buzzes like it's rebooting but it doesn't cut back on. I have also tried every configuration imaginable holding the buttons for over 10 minutes at a time. When I plug it into Odin the blue light comes on but when I go to flash the stock firmware it just looks for the device. Also I noticed when I plug it into all my laptops in the house that used to say Note 8. Now it says something like great_lte something like that. Is very weird but if the phone battery is fully dead it won't register on the computer. So I have to charge it with the wireless charger. I've been reading about the black screen of death on other tablets and phones from Samsung going all the way back to the S6. At this point I have tried everything imaginable. Except for one thing. And that's to actually open the phone up unplug the battery for 10 minutes then unhook the motherboard plug the battery back in charge the battery a little bit then plug in the motherboard and then try to power it up and then try to recharge it. My only problem is I don't own any of the stuff to open up this particular phone with it being glass. I did talk to Dr Keten and he said I can ship it back to India and he'll give it to a friend of his worst case scenario. With me being in the United States I was informed through uBreakiFix. Which is a new company that Samsung has parted with the fix or telephones. That there is no available software here to actually try to even fix the phone and they were specifically told from Samsung not to touch anything International. I was also told that at a later date they might be able to help but by then the Note 9 will be out. It just really pisses me off because I went through 11 months of crap over that note 7. I fought for 200 hours on the phone for them just to take my Note 7 and get my money back then I fought another 10 months just to get the check which was only supposed to be a three-week process. I used to buy T-Mobile every year and we would root them but T-Mobile now watch the bootloader so we all switch to International versions because of this. I've been on XDA for many many years now and I just want to thank everybody for their input and their help.

64bit twrp is here

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=236353

Flash the same way you flash any recovery

Rename image to recovery.img

Put phone into fastboot mode & connect to pc via usb

Open terminal/command prompt where you have fastboot files & the recovery.img

Type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] sweezit92:
can i flash it with existing twrp recovery?? and if so what are those i need to wipe for installing pixel experience rom?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
If its a 64bit rom you must use the 64bit recovery

Flashing is the same as any other rom

Format system data cache

If encrypted or coming from stock format data (option on right not advanced wipe) then reboot to recovery
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] sweezit92:
Thank you so much for helping me....

Will you please help me to sort this out?? Sorry for my annoying and bad English
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
You should really read the rom threads - camera app doesn't work

Use a 3rd party camera app from playstore

Hi,

I'm planning to flash a 64bits ROM to my stock Moto G5 using TWRP.

Before flash the new ROM, I wanted to do a backup of the stock ROM (32 bits).

In case of problem with the new ROM, could I flash back the old one a be back to stock ?

Thanks
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Yes but remember the stock rom will be modified so you won't be able to receive ota updates etc

If you wanted this flash the full stock rom firmware via fastboot
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] r8dooo:
Looks like there is a plastic strip around the screen before the aluminium bezel as mine after just 2 days with a case has fine scratches already be careful peeps will annoy some.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ijuanp03:
I was supposed to create a thread regarding this but yes, I can confirm my P20 got scratched on the plastic strip surrounding the the screen as well!!! It is annoying!! why the heck did they use glossy plastic instead of the matte (like on the iPhone X)!!!! Mine actually was covered with case since day 1 but the friction on the case caused this!

SO.... ANYTHING THE TOUCHES THE PLASTIC WILL CAUSE IT TO GET SCRATCHED. PERIOD. Screw Huawei!
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kms108:
I just noticed that, the plastic is pretty thick, about 1mm, and I though it was a curve glass that run right down to the metal, also do note the metal around the back camera is also very easy to get scratched.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] webmode:
I have issue with p20 after a week use with fulltime case on. Very poor quality build.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ijuanp03:

Same here. Very bad quality. Shame on you, Huawei.

[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] d_noizeshakerz:
any fix for this? at least to make the scratches less visible? damn piss me off.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomo100brt:
I got Huawei P20 Pro and after 5 min of use it already has scratches on back glass. Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium after a month without any case still doesn't have scratches on back glass. Bad quality for this price. Very disapointed. **** quality.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
come on guys, it cant be that bad. I saw a ton of 2nd hand p20s and none of them had those scratches.. I had p9, p10, mate 9 .. and never had any issues. I am planing to buy regular p20, but you are getting me worried :)
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Danchibald:
I don't have any scratches... What are you doing with these phones??!! Scratches cannot comes by itself
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt8504:
I can confirm the same issue. I dont know why they decided to use plastic. I owned m2 m3 and now i own mediapad m5 and they all are with metal body with no signs of scratches in normal use. I'm too quite disappointed. Its weird build quality to be worse than their tablets for such high price. Otherwise i like the phone very much. The back is quite sensitive to scratches. I have one already even I've never use it without case. But it's very cool and beautiful with glass back. Can someone with mate 10 pro can confirm if the build quality is better or the same.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
I think the P10 has the same "flaw" but I never had any issues with it.

edit: I bought a new p20, used the huawei case that comes in the box from the day 1..and yes.. I can already (after a week or so) see some scratches around the screen. nothing major though.. you have to go outside and keep tilting the phone from one side to another to be able to notice it.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] arsital:
I think they're factory scratched
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScouserCL:
Hello! Im from Chile, I have this phone since a couple of weeks now and yes, I can confirm that it has this exact same issue.

I'm a maniac when it comes to phone care, I've been using mine with the silicone case included since day 1, in fact I still haven't removed the back protective film, I think those scratches appear because of the friction caused when you put on the case and take it off a couple of times. The other day, I had to swap SIM cards a couple of times and noticed those ugly scratches, thought it was dirty but nope, it's a bummer for a premium flagship device, bad idea to use black, glossy and cheap plastic on the bezel.

Well... I guess we will have to live with it, because changing the whole LCD panel is not cheap nor easy, it's not worth the hassle.
