[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] A_Pac1:
I have been using PH-1 for a while now and with the official Oreo update and camera port I can recommend this phone. I have an iPhone X also and don't really like it as a "Daily Driver", too use to Android and all it can do over iOS, PH-1 camera is up to par with the iPhone's camera as well. Battery life is the same as the iPhones and no complaints on the UI jitters or signal strength. It's a good phone overall!:good:
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
400 for it

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Yeah, tried the magisc fix. Phone isn't smooth. Trying to scroll with one hand and having the momentum break cause my hand is slightly touching the screen is annoying AF, like i'm scrolling and it randomly bounces the other way annoying. Scrolling through sites/apps just doesn't feel as good compared to my U11.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Just installed the P preview and the phone feels way better than oreo :D we'll see how it goes.

What is the fix for jitter in developer options that you are referring to?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] fredgar75:
Touch sensitivity in developer options. I have mine set at 8.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] coop3422:
Which camera port are you using, if you mind my asking? Looking at the link, I'm assuming the best one is:

Arnova's v7beta9: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-03-25, no config needed, suggested settings, changelog)

Just got a PH-1 last night and want to fully set it up and use it for a few days before selling my S8.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] A_Pac1:
Yes sir, that's the one! Motion pictures, HDR+, Portrait all working perfect!!:good:
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] coop3422:
Does it make the camera brighter? The image quality seems good, but pictures are noticeably dimmer/darker of not outside in a bright environment.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] A_Pac1:
Yes, you can play with the HDR+ settings to auto adjust for low light without flash but the capture time will increase.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] coop3422:
Thanks, I'll load this and play with it before deciding. I have my PH-1, my S8 and just ordered a 128GB Pixel XL so I need to decide which one I'm keeping lol.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Bad Bimr:
Thanks for the info guys. I ended up getting the Pixel 2 XL. Rooted it and installed my root only apps. Could not be happier. Phone is so smooth and responsive. Just wish the price was less.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveInTrinity:
Hello Everyone. I'm new to this forum, so please be kind. I have searched extensively for the answer to my question.

So, I spent a whole day upgrading and rooting my SM-G900V Galaxy S5. Lots of dead ends on this, but I got it! I did this because I needed more room on my internal memory. I was almost out, so I used Titanium Backup and uninstalled all the bloat apps.

My question is this. I am now at Lollipop V5.0 rooted. I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1. If I do this with a custom ROM:

1) Will all the bloat I just deleted all come back? Are these apps part of the custom ROM?

2) Will I lose the root? If the bloat stays off, I really don't care as that was my only reason for rooting in the first place.

I used XDA forums pretty extensively for information for getting as far as I have. Many, many thanks.

Dave
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubledragon5:
If your looking to upgrade to MM 6.0. You need to download the latest MM stock image and Odin back to full unrooted stock. Then re-root, install your custom recovery and flash what ever rom you want.. Yes if you flash back to stock MM in order to upgrade, then naturally all the bloat will come back.. But will not be there once you re-root and flash another rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
1. Depends on the ROM. BTW, "free user space" does not depend on the ROM. Almost does not.

2. Yes. You will have to reroot it, if possible.

There is a good G900V section on the forum and you may like to read about CID, locked bootloader and MM rooting there.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveInTrinity:
Thank you for the reply, information, and link. I will go through it. I hadn't been able to find a MM rooting system that worked which is why I reverted to Lollipop. I actually had a lot of trouble even rooting 5.0 as nothing worked until I came upon the Blackcat scripts. That worked great.

Dave
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
You're welcome.

Look, LP and below does not require unlocked bootloader to be rooted. MM and abode does. That's why the possibility of rooting MM on your phone depends on it's hardware (CID).

Blackcat's scripts are great, but the modern method is to flash a "COMBINATION" ROM which can be rooted easily, to root it, to install SafeStrap Recovery and then to flash your favorite ROM (system partition) and firmware (bootloader, kernel, modem, recovery). The last action may contain bootloader unlocking process if the hardware is compatible.
[Touch Cruise General] johanhs:
My Polaris came with the AGPS deactivated, i.e. the registry HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS/EnableAGPS was set to "0"

ServerIP was set to "193.253.42.109" and port "7275", which both are default for both Polaris and Tytn II.

If I set EnableAGPS to "1", my TomTom doesn't get any fix at all any longer.

Some questions:

-Will the GPS still work, and get a fix, if the rest of the AGPS settings are incorrect?

-Is the ServerIP a universal setting, or dependent of service provider / country of origin? (I live in Norway, using OneCall as provider)

-Is there any other settings that are to be altered to get this to work?

Also: Will TomTom and Garmin XT automatically recognize the AGSP feature? Hopefully the use or not of AGPS is handled by the phone OS, and should be "transparent" for these applications?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllenR85:
I've tried stock 5.2 and different roms. Even in TWRP I find the battery is draining insanely quick. I charged it up to 100% and when I went into TWRP, wiped everything and installed Lineage OS and gapps, it dropped about 5%. At this point I'm not sure if the battery is just basically on its last legs from being on 5.3 for so long. Does anyone have any suggestions? Something else I can try flashing to see if it fixes the insane battery drain? I'm considering just selling the thing off and buying something else, but would want to try and salvage this thing if I can.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Flashing a ROM and starting it up (and installing apps) uses a lot of processor power, and therefore a lot of battery. A 5% drop flashing a ROM and starting it the first time would be completely expected. After flashing a new ROM I would recommend you use it for a day or so(drain battery to almost empty) and recharge; to let the ROM "settle in" and the battery meter to calibrate. Do this before passing any judgment on battery.

Severe battery drain has been a consistent issue on all stock Nougat builds. But I can't speak for Lineage, as I only run stock ROM (rooted). But it's an OS issue, not a battery issue. The worst case, if downgrade to Marshmallow, and it should fix the battery drain.
[Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers] SSJEAhwal:
Does anyone know what the problem is?

I have a Lenovo Vibe P1a42 for more than a year now; about 2 weeks ago it started taking very long boot times 10 to 30 minutes.

It has the latest stock update, I've never rooted it or installed any other ROMs.

When the device pass the boot and start, it works fine as it was before.

I did a factory reset yesterday, on the reset process it took the normal time for a first boot, but again it took about 10 minutes to boot after I installed the apps which took only about 2GB of the internal phone storage, I removed the SD to make sure it's not a memory problem.

Does anyone know what the problem is?
[Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers] nsnandakumar:
I too have the same problem since 2 weeks. Any solution for this?
[Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers] SSJEAhwal:
I solved the problem yesterday

If your problem is like mine then you have "TrueCaller" installed, if you do then remove it.

Well I did a factory reset twice until I figured it out, so I advice you to format your microSD card and remove it first, then do a factory reset then reboot the "Vibe P1" frequently while making settings changes to confirm that it reboots quickly (do that without the microSD), then install your apps - few of them every time then reboot, after installing all your important apps. Now, start some of them and adjust your apps settings as you want them then reboot until you finish all the important apps, if the reboot process is quick then your done, but leave the apps that you suspect to the end; in this case "TrueCaller" then reboot after setting them as you prefer, if the problem occur again then uninstall "TrueCaller" or just don't install it if it's not important to you, if you really want it then you either have to install a different app or go through the "TrueCaller" settings "THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CONTROL THE CHARGING OR POWER", and change them until your reboot is quick again.

If you don't have "TrueCaller", then do the above process and while setting your apps check if any of them has an option that's related to power or charging.

* I know the word "best" in the title is a crazy word to use.

I know I can narrow down what I need with a few simple questions and statements, or at least I'll have a good start.

It's overwhelming due to all the different things that ppl say and do to their phones.: ROMs, Lineages, apps, launchers, etc I am utterly lost.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900v 4.4.2 build nc4.

When the phone starts up we see the Verizon logo and an unlocked lock that says Custom underneath. I can choose Continue or Recovery.

* Continue runs the stock phone.

* Recovery runs a safestrap 3.72 (twrp v2.7.0.0) with 8 option buttons below

Knowing that...

Is running a higher ROM than one that's OS 4.4.2-based done reliably?

How high an OS could we go.?

What the highest OS version this phone will run w/o bogging down?

With the "bootstrap" (is that the recovery screen I can choose on start-up?) I have, am I limited to some certain kind of ROM?

* What I'd like is better Siri-style voice control, WAY better camera software (pixel?), podcast and a/v software, smart & smart-looking lock screen, etc on the highest ROMs that will run very, very reliably. *

I guess the best replies below will be educational for me, or just links to your favorite ROMs!

I didI D/L'd one - I may try:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Mogkupopppo:
Not sure if anyone care or still want to go back to 5.0.1.

It is possible if you download COMBINATION_VZW_FA50_G925VVRU4AOJ1 (Google it yourself its free out there.)

After flashing combination file you can root it with kingroot then replace it with superuser ( https://xdaforums.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989 ), then you can use flashfire to flash 5.0.1 rom.

You will need to keep the sboot/bootloader from combination file i order to boot with 5.0.1 kernel.

Anyone know if theres good rom that will still work with this method? I tied some stock root rom ( https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-stock-rooted-g925v-vru1aoc3-t3115121 ), it seems to be missing some file after flashing. It boots up gets signal, but it is buggy. If anyone know if bugs from flashing this way cannot be fixed then let me know so I can stop trying :P.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 3Cubed27:
I flashed the COMBINATION_VZW_FA50_G925VVRU4AOJ1 tar file but how do it install apks so i can use kingroot. unless you have forum to share with me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
I haven't used the XDA forums in over a year. I don't know if I have the courage to downgrade from 7.0 to 5.X
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] teh_apple:
Something similar for me honestly. I just downloaded the firmware stated, did the steps and it seems to have worked fine. Even with root, I honestly liked 7.0 on this device. Dang locked BL. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kookmasteraj:
You can install apks using ADB -- I think you can get it from Android Studio or try https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

Once you have ADB installed, just connect your S6 to your PC, open terminal, and run "adb devices" to confirm your phone is visable

Then to install an apk, have it downloaded on your PC and run

"adb install {path/to/apk}"

Example:

adb install Downloads/NewKingrootV5.3.7_C197_B451_xda_release_2018_06_19_20180620193529_242043.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
I don't really think there was a 5.0.1 ROM designed for the Revision 4 bootloader outside of the Combination Firmware. I think this may be a reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TheMadScientist:
I know this is old. But I come from a s8. So we should be able to even though rev4 bootloader flash any 5 System IMG. The bootloader from the fa50 combination should suffice to boot any lolipop system since they are not incremented
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
Correct, you just need the bootloader and kernel capable of booting the system up. This is how I was able to use any of the LP AP Build/System on my rev 3 Note5.

All the LP builds were rev 2. But I had a LP bootloader and kernel. Realistically someone should try, but you might need to root the combo firmware first and use flash fire/flashify/safestrap to flash the system image. Because ODIN might not let you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TheMadScientist:
Yea Odin pushing the rooted firmware with combo boot was patched on s8 about the same time. But now where using edl to push a rooted combination file with su flash fire and safestrap.

My s8 is running a bit 5 nougat combo which that bootloader is reserved for Oreo and pie. But I'm running a rooted system IMG I made up from a equivalent rev2 nougat system and runs fine other than 80% charge limmit on the newer combos. Even my j3 limmits to 80 on combo. But I found a hack to charge to 100% I got posted in the s8 threads. I'm gonna try this over the next few days. If there's a eng bootloader with permissive kernel nougat should be able to be rooted too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
The question is, what did you do to.modify your stock rom to be able to boot on the combo bootloader? I'm still a little lost on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TheMadScientist:
I didn't on the j3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
Maybe not on the j3 haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TheMadScientist:
Wrong device ****. I got so many phones lying around. I haven't really messed with the s6 much. I got a few other on the front burner
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
This is what I was asking about though. I still can't get anyone to explain how to make the stock ROMs work on the newer more locked devices. It's like a big secret or something. But it is possible on the S6, Note5, and S8. Probably the S7 too.

But 5.0.1, 5.1.1, and 7.0 are built a lot differently and I imagine the method is different.

Before the S9 Line most everything has been built pretty similarly.

HI everyone, so the other day I found and bought at goodwill an ad display "tablet" like device. one of those interactive advertisement displays one see at home depot that plays video on loop. it's really just a basic touchscreen connected to an android Controller Board. well after rigging a power supply I was able to get into the background software it's a stripped down android no apps store or launchers. running android 6.0.1 on a quadcoreA64 allwinnter Processor.

I did so googling of the marking on the board and even found this:

cndlcd.en.alibaba.com/product/882787956213594243/Cost_effective_Android_Controller_Board_with_Wifi_RJ45_Serial_Port_GPIO_ADC_Bluetooth

I can get it to go into recovery boot mode to use adb and the like. which I tried to use to install the app store and or a launcher but nothing I try to install on the device seems to install successfully I always have compatibility issues.

I've thought about trying to just flash a Linux or another ROM on the arm device but nothing I've tried has had must success and suggestions?

I have had several back and forth emails with Joying support in the last couple of days.

They are trying to find the passwords for their new units under Android 8. Support didn't know. They had me try 00000 and 123456, neither of which worked. I told them the main password is 126 - they didn't know this either. I still need passwords for all of the second level settings - change the launcher, change the logo, see if there are more developer options for car config, etc.

They are apparently aware that the AMP-CONT lead to turn on the external amplifier does not work. They recommend connecting the accessory wire from your vehicle to the amp signaling wire instead, so the amp will turn on when you turn your key to the accessory or on position, bypassing the head unit.

They acknowledge there are no detailed settings available for the radio under Android 8 in the radio app. So there is no way to turn on station or channel ID for US customers.

I also let them know about another radio issue - FM Radio reception is normal, but AM reception is awful to non-existent.

Google maps is ok, directions from Google maps are mixing with other audio ok.

Feels like Android 8 on the new Joying 4GB units isn't quite ready for prime time yet... Has anyone tried to upgrade a 2GB Android 6 unit to Android 8 now that the Android 8 files are on Joying's website? Do you see the same behaviors, or am I seeing hardware issue with the brand new 4GB units? I suspect it's all software, but would be nice to know.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
The 2GB units are not compatible with the 4GB units. They need different hardware drivers and different MCU firmware as the firmware in the 2GB units is from FYT. I forgot the manufacturer of the 4 GB units but [MENTION=520205]gtxaspec[/MENTION] knows.

There is no downloadable firmware yet for the 2GB units.

Other findings so far:

The illuminated buttons do work - they sometimes take a few seconds to come on after your illumination wire signals with 12V.

The logo selection with this new unit does not include Porsche or Saab. You can still upload your own custom logos.

I updated the unit to the latest (2018-4-20) release on the Joying website which is supposed to include optimizations and Zlink and my unit is now hanging at the Android text logo (right after the animated Android logo). I sent a note to Joying support for help and will also wait for a few hours to see if it comes back to life.
[Android Head-Units] peregrines:
The same happened to me :rolleyes:
