Do you have a pending ota update? If so you need to take it to get out. It won't reset your 7d wait the whole "up time" thing is complete nonsense anyway ?

My phone is in prenormal state. I have stock firmware and tried to install twrp but decided to just stay stock. Now i cant use google pay..will it work after 7 days?

So this OEM unlock wait time thing applies to the US SD model as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
no sir, yours will never show up. Besides with a locked bootloader there is nothing you can do with it anyway.

Sorry to be negative here, but it won't.

Even if it became available Im still trying to figure out the purpose of even flipping the switch on locked down snap models?

You cant flash anything so I dont see the purpose here and yet everyone keeps asking?

There are a lot of google pixel 2 camera mods out there ported to android devices, but as far as I've found, the portrait modes all only work with human faces. On the actual pixel 2, portrait mode works with objects, animals, etc.

Considering such a great job has been done porting the camera app, why is such a small detail left out?
[Android Apps and Games] Joy Bangla:
You know what the the word potrait means right? And about pixel 2 working with small objects, I'm not sure that's correct. Ports don't mess with that kind of stuff

After some trial and error i managed to build XenonHD for OP5T. :highfive:

Although that being said im not a developer and have a minimal understanding of Java code, im only syncing latest repo changes from the developers.

Developers are welcome to point out some tips or a couple a bugs they can help me fix.

ROM: https://bit.ly/2J1Obo5

GApps: opengapps.org/

ARM64 > 8.1 > (I use NANO but you can use whatever)

Theoretically this supports encryption so if your encrypted you should be fine. If your decrypted however you should flash no_verity zip to stay decrypted.

Use OB6 firmware.

Thanks to:

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] chesstopher:
Just installed and got all set up and I'm really digging this ROM. Ambient display (not always on) with music ticker, Nova Launcher pre-installed (I use modded pixel launcher), Pixel nav bar with home button animation, snap cam with bokeh option, center status bar clock, clear all recents with button positioning, double tap to sleep/wake, gestures, Substratum working well throughout (using Swift Black), snappy performance and very little lag while scrolling through Facebook/G+. I'll be sticking with this one for a bit.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Planet X:
Thanks for bringing this rom to the OP5T . It has been my favorite on the Mi Mix 2. But with Oreo 8.1 full screen apps does not work. Or has that been fixed already? I need to play Pokemon Go with full screen.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 7571369:
No problem, and yeah full screen apps work (expanded desktop Settings > Display)
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Planet X:
Thank you for letting me know. I have tested it and indeed it is possible to have fullscreen apps on this rom. I'm glad that there is finally a custom rom on 8.1 Oreo with fully working Expanded desktop feature. Also for the rest everything is working fine and smooth. I haven't found a bug. Will you keep updating this rom once in a while?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 7571369:
Yeah I plan to update it weekly if possible. Just mainly sync the latest repo chnages. Nothing fancy. Thanks for your feedback.
[General Questions and Answers] Pukoyzki:
Hi everyone,

I have recently rooted my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (SD/Mido).

I'm wondering which ROM is best for gaming. I've never flashed custom ROMs before.

I already read a lot of threads regarding custom ROMs but I'd prefer to know directly from gamers.

I'm currently eyeing on RR and LOS since these two custom ROMs are usually showing whenever I'm searching through Google.

Please enlighten me which custom ROM you're using for gaming!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sabresfan:
I did try regular csc. Do I need a working SIM card for OEM unlock to appear? After playing around with my new gem I'm getting a beautiful message Sim Network Pin Blocked. Enter SIM Network PUK. I have a new sim card on the way from T-Mobile. Hopefully this fixes this problem.

From what I understand, if you manage to flash a stock fw without the system side of rmm while your bootloader is rmm=prenormal, the unlock countdown will never start and the rmm status won't change.

can you explain what you mean by "system side" ?

Anyone tried this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Bdnzor:
Have an Australian SM-G965F.

Been checking Developer and Download: No option, and pre-normal.

Last two days I have:

Rebooted it, multiple times.

Changed sims.

Done 2x OTA updates from Samsung.

Added my Samsung account yesterday after reading it was required.

Just read a piece somewhere about winding date back.

My phone status was Flight mode, and no sim (was swapping sims), but I believe it had wifi, turned off auto time/date, wound the date back to the 2nd of July and checked Dev again, OEM unlock has appeared, rebooted and checked download mode and it is no longer pre-normal either.

Boot phone up again and recheck dev once more and the option is still there. Have rebooted multiple times since and it does not disappear again, Time is set back to auto, but no sim in just yet.

Not saying this is a solution for all, nor that you should try it if you have x days uptime but for some weird reason this worked on mine, and if you are sitting there with the timer at a full 7 days it might be worth a try.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Just to add a little to this, 2nd of July would be BEFORE my phones initial activation date if that matters at all.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Quentaro:
Delete "System update" (EMUI's) app's updates. Use factory version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dyon003:
Current version is:

Software version: G950FXXU1CRC7/G950FOXM1CRC7/G950FXXU1CRC7

Android version: 8.0.0

It worked perfectly the first few days after the update with no random restarts, but then my phone screen went dark with Green LED blinking. I couldn't turn the screen on again so I tried doing a hard reset. After that, the phone started restarting by itself. It now auto restarts like 5-8 times in a day.

Any info or recommendation would help. Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
After the hard reset, did you install any third party apps?

After reseting try to keep your phone with default config and don't install any apps to check if it the restarts are caused by the phone stock config or if this was issue caused by third party apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dyon003:
I tried running it on Safe Mode, and it still restarts, which makes me think it could be the phone's stock config
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
I would try odin back to 7.0 you may have a random bad update be the easiest quickest solution to try
[Off-topic] TomeGJ7p:
For the second time since starting all the work I've done on my phone, I flashed a ROM without launchers. The first time I have a video of, and learned a few things about dealing with this. So I choose not to fix the phone this time. I knew it was easy to fix, but I wanted something fun to do on vacation. So I ran with no launchers. Found ways to remap hard keys, and knew about a ton of apps to look into. I've been running launcherless for the whole time, have easy access to all of my apps, and can do mostADB/Bash work from inside the phone now. I've replaced all stock apps, including the camera with really nice apps of my choosing, but still no launcher.

Just thought that was interesting, it's been a lot of fun. I wish my phone was anything but what it is, SM-727P only offered by virgin, and boost. Would be interesting to share more than just the story with people. I could post the video of the first time, and pics of my current setup. No homework too show off, but prime space to appreciate a good wallpaper.

I occasionally have problems with all perms resetting, so it was important that the may all in charge of everything also be the default assistance app.I first went with the home key launcher, but it was very clunky. I settled on radsofts app drawer got assistance, wheel launcher for my main functionality, and apps, VM for most everything else. Also made use of Oreo nougat quicksetings.

Button mapper, and button remapper, mapper pro would do it all, but I wanted to make the idea available to anyone.

Volume+

Press: default

Double tap: flashlight

Long press: es file explorer

Volume-

Press: default

Double tap: screenshot

Long press: brave launcher

Recent apps

Press: default

Long press: L speed

Back

Press: default

Long press: bash shell

Home

Press: terminate foreground process

Long press: Launch app drawer/default assistant if one of the main goes down.

VM swipe pulls out from the side, offers a ton of app space.

Wheel launcher opens when shaking the phone, has built in shortcuts for basic phone functions, all apps, and customizable shortcuts.

So the home screen is completely empty, and you get tons of access.

Hi all!

I have been tinkering with Magisk etc lately and was wondering about something. If I install a random apk that I find somewhere, grant it superuser, use it a bit, and then decide I'm not convinced it's safe, does going back and denying superuser effectively disable it and prevent it from taking any actions?

Hello I bought the Prime exclusive moto g 5 plus 64gb storage and 4gb of ram .

THIS ONE.

According to this post I'll not be able to root it, unlock boot loader or install a custom recovery, is this true??, it seems like a normal xt1687 (mine is xt1687 too acording to fastboot) in my opinion, is there any difference between mine and a non-amazon one??.

I downloaded the G5 plus toolkit and got the unlock boot loader information with no problem, also found an option in developer settings section that says "OEM UNLOCKING (Allow boot loader to be unlocked)"

You have to go through Motorola to get the code to unlock the bootloader. They will know whether you have an Amazon Prime device, and I don't believe they will give you the code. At least I believe that was the issue when the phone originally came out.

Hi everyone

Less than a month ago I challenged myself to build and launch an app in one week and I developed Hummi.nz, an app that allows you to record yourself while humming a song and test the other users to see if they guess the songs.

https://medium.com/@razvanilin/challenged-myself-to-build-and-launch-an-app-in-a-week-cc6b44731a49

I week after I launched, I posted about it on HN and I was amazed to have created a useful discussion around it. The post even reached #1 in the show section and #9 on the main page. Later on, I also launched on Product Hunt and managed to get featured for most of the day on the main page accumulating almost 80 upvotes.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16692899

This leads me to believe that the concept of the app is good, but I'm really trying to execute it right at the moment. If anyone has the chance to try it out, I would be grateful if you share your feedback here.

I'll be here to reply to everyone so feel free to ask or share anything. Cheers!

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...errer=utm_source=xdaforum&utm_medium=xdaforum

Sing (hum) your favourite songs and send it to other people to guess

No words allowed while singing!

You can browse a list of hums recorded by other people and try to guess the songs

You can climb the leaderboard by guessing songs

You get points when people like your hum as well

The official Twitter account of the app randomly tweets hums that were not guessed by the community: @humminz

The official website of the app is http://hummi.nz
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MDW 100:
Pull down quick settings, press 'edit', tap the 3 dot menu and uncheck all the boxes.

Just discovered this today. The lag used to be unbearable and was thinking about replacing the phone with a Nexus 6p or HTC 10.

Then I discovered this and the shade is completely buttery now, and plus, looks more like stock android!!

Hope this helps other people as it did to me.
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] coyot352:
You're talking about that ? (see screenshot)

I think it's a placebo effect, I do not see why some shortcuts would slow down the phone completely..

In addition the tab for brightness is very convenient to reset the automatic brightness when the phone takes time to change or remains blocked on a dim light (it's a problem on this phone I think, it's not very effective on auto brightness)

In any case I tried to see, for my part I do not see any difference, the phone has exactly the same behavior as the shortcuts is on !
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] coyot352:
I forgot the screenshot :angel:
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MDW 100:
Maybe it's different for other people. When I had those enabled, it definitely was jerky to pull down quick settings, especially using the swipe down shortcut on my launcher. Now it's really smooth for me, which is how it should be with a sd 821. Shouldn't be a challenge for it.

I did find the brightness slider useful but, and I know this sounds weird, I would happily trade those shortcuts (including 'file sharing' etc. which I never used) for a much smoother and cleaner looking notification shade (and btw I have next to 0 lag tolerance... Should have got a Pixel ?). Instead I used Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings to change it to a quick settings toggle and I think this is a good solution considering that personally I hardly ever change the brightness from auto.

Thanks for the reply, interesting how some G6s seem to lag and others don't. Also I've never had a problem with auto brightness ?
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fegitoli:
Interestingly enough, I've done the same as you.

The problem in doing this is how difficult it is to find this toggle when your brightness is EXTREMELY low and the sun is beaming in your face. Unlike having a whole row to tap on and adjust, you have to tap on one singular point on your display, and I found this frustrating.

Anyways, disabling everything in that list did help with the lag a bit. Even if it was just barely noticeable.
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MDW 100:
The improvement was more than barely noticeable for me... Made it seem like a software bug.

Having said that, I don't think it's acceptable for a company like LG to release a phone at this price that has any lag issues at all, agree? I'll have spent $674 equiv. just on the phone by the time my contract is up. Loved the phone overall, thought the lag might improve, also thought I would promptly get Oreo (being LG) which might help. None of those happened, and I ran out of time to return it. Silly me...
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] coyot352:
Maybe it depends on the version of the phone, I'm on h870

On mine auto brightness is really slow, sometimes I need to adjust myself because it is sometimes too strong or too weak compared to the situation, maybe my sensor that is badly calibrated..

Otherwise I agree, sharing files is useless and for the volume I already have the keys, so it is disabled on my side.

It is true that we see a lot of different returns depending on the users of this phone, especially on performance and autonomy, personally I'm lucky, good performance, good battery life and good focal length (2.01)
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MDW 100:
Yeah auto brightness is pretty slow to react on mine too...

I also have a European H870. It has moments of absolute fluidity out of the blue and it's awesome, and also moments of being so bogged down it's unusable. Everything else is somewhere in between. It feels like a fast phone but it doesn't feel like a OnePlus 3t, which has the same chipset. That's even after debloating the phone almost entirely. I don't really want to install a custom ROM like LOS yet, although I've heard that helps.
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ali Mirza:
If your LG G6 is rooted, install a custom kernel, from Play Store try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps should help, if you installed a custom kernel, play using Kernel Adiutor. Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering, Disable HW Overlays" should make the beast smoother/snappier. Install adblocker too.

This is the better solution for stuttering/lag.
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MDW 100:
I do not have root at the moment on my phone, but when I do, I will give Kernel Adiutor a try. Thanks!
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cvnic:
h870 here, unchecking these boxes didnt make any difference.

although i have to agree that this phone is sometimes weirdly laggy while usuall being smooth most of the time
[LG G6 Themes, Apps, and Mods] clouds5:
Thx for letting us know about that menu! Those settings don't produce stuttering for me thankfully, but I disabled them anyway and enabled the volume slider which I love to have there :)

nice!

The only thing that creates slight stutters (very rare though) on my Orea LG G6 is when I use the ported pixel 2 live wallpapers.

My zenfone 3 randomly crashes to the the lock screen. It will do it when I unlock or when I'm using it. Everything seems to be working fine otherwise. I've tried performing a factory reset twice and it didn't help. Would unlocking the phone and installing a custom rom help fix the problem?

Hello guys, So I bought an almost new Honor View 10 from someone and they gave me the phone with a Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger and not the Huawei one. It works when I plug it except I noticed 2 things:

1) The phone stops charging few seconds after I log into the phone and start using it.

2) Battery duration was fantastic at first, said 2 days x hours left at 100% charge, now it says about 1 day x hours left.

The output on the charger is 9V 1.67A or 5V 2A. I have charged the phone about 4 or 5 times since getting it. So what do you guys think ? Is this charger ok and I should keep using it( i.e It wont ruin my battery) or should I spend some money and buy a Huawei one?
