[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
With the lack of TGSP that fit properly or don't cut off the screen, my question is how many of you are rocking the screen naked?

For those of you who have, how has the screen held up? Any scratches or issues?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
At the moment, no phone screen will stay 100% smooth and it will always has scratches all over the screen (at least the ones that are only visible on certain lighting condition) even when you're taking good care at it. I've been using phones without screen protector/cases for years and the only problem really is when the oleophobic coating wear off.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
From my understanding, it is only scratched when something with a higher hardness rating scratches it. If you're careful with your phone, in theory it shouldn't have scratches right?

And normally how long do you feel that the oleophobic coating lasts?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
Yes that is true and it includes those tiny sands that are present everywhere and even comes with the winds. No smartphone will be scratchless on screen for a day without screen protector when you're using it normally. You just don't see it. If you do not want scratches on your phone screen, use a protector because it will always scratch unless you keep it in a sealed box.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] EnIXmA:
I ordered the IQ shield wet application screen protector. Used it on my s9 plus and pixel 2 xl and it looks and feels great
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Gr8man001:
I have been using the following product for the last 3 phones with success. For everyday use, I have not noticed any scratches on my family's phones such S8+, S9, and OP6. I have no clue how this liquid stuff bond with the glass but it's more than placebo. There have been times when I forgot about change in my pocket or keys in the same pocket as phone-Did not get any scratches on the phone. Although, the product claims to bond with glass for a long time, in my experience, you need another coat every 6-8 months.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] memocatcher:
I used the pre-applied screen protector out of the box for about 2 weeks and I found it pretty good especially because it fitted just perfectly on the screen. But I removed it since I don't like screen protectors that much.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] GuestK0062:
Just got OP6 two days ago. I usually go naked and never a scratch, but this weekend i'm going on a bit of an adventure on the sea, after that protector is going right off.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
I've used IQ shield before, but I found that they are so hard to keep clean. They get so oily really quick. Do you have any tips?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
How's the screen holding up now?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] b.huss2:
the tgsp from oneplus is a must. perfect fit, looks good, applies easily, and most importantly it has saved my phone screen once already. I will keep one on my phone.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] EnIXmA:
Yes! I spray some prescription glasses cleaning spray every other day and wipe it off
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] memocatcher:
Pretty good. I already dropped it 2 times without the screen protector and just the TPU case on it, and there are no visible scratches or something else.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] EnIXmA:
Pixel 2 xl still holding up well after 5 months, s8 plus peeled out a little from the top left after an year, but I am a using a tight case on that one.

I love the super easy installation and no hassle of dealing with bubbles after it dries out completely. My friends think that I don't use a screen protector, it looks and feels like there is nothing on the screen.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
I'll give that a shot once I put on the screen protector. Thank you!

I think that if the IQ Shield doesn't work for me I'll give it a shot with out a protector. I'm hoping I have the same luck you've had!

I ordered it and I'll let you know how it works once it arrives. Thanks for the suggestion!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] gsw5700:
I've never used a screen protector and have never had visible scratches on the screen. I have a habit of always putting my phone in my right pocket on its own so there is nothing to scratch it.

Introduction

Lineage OS 15.1 for the SM-A310F is based upon the hard work of both [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION] and I in creating new clean device trees for Exynos7580 devices. This release is a stable release build on the new device trees.

What works

Calls, SMS, Mobile Data

Camera

NFC

WiFi

Bluetooth

Torch

SELinux Enforcing​

What doesn't work

VoLTE (will never work on LOS)

You tell me​

Installation

Download the latest LOS build and transfer it to your phone

Install the latest TWRP (Available Here)

Make a full backup (just in case something goes wrong)

Do a full wipe (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data, System)

Install LOS

If you are installing GApps do it at the same time (preferably in the same install queue)

And finally boot, the first boot can take several minutes as it optimises all the apps

Downloads

Latest releases are uploaded HERE

OpenGapps HERE

TWRP is availableHERE

Magisk is available HERE​

Great work, Danny, Cam issue was fixed, no problems with the cam now.

Apps starts a bit faster compare to l-o-w & sekils one and no glitches during work.

+ battery life a bit better

Didn't have any problems with NFC, but it still works fine

Thank u for your hard work. Seems that this Rom is the most stable AOSP project among A series now.

Hi [MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION], good job, many thanks for continuing that SM-A310F Lineage OS 15.1 job. After the first incursion in Oreo with l-0-w's project, I liked the feel of it but the many bugs kept me from adopting it as daily driver. Now it seems that you're bringing in lots of improvements so maybe time has come for us A3-2016 owners to definitely turn the N page.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] thebinf:
Hi, the ROM is close to perfect for me and I've got the feeling that battery life is even better than when I was last on stock. The only issue for me is LTE not working (I'm on German O2/Telefonica network). Also adaptive brightness is too bright even on lowest setting in medium light conditions. Is there any way to get back the adaptive brightness settings from the 6/6/2018 build? These settings were the best.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] jabieff:
Could you give a screenshot of how the processor works? Do 4 cores work while idle?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] binichnich:
It it possible to activate the functionality for flip cover or is it not supported yet?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
[MENTION=7996442]charlander[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4945805]lawliet80[/MENTION]

I can confirm this, it may be to do with the recent change of the codec blobs or it may be to do with the CPU governor. I will try and find a solution for the next release.

[MENTION=7190234]thebinf[/MENTION]

I have noticed the brightness issue as well (I have to have it set very low) but it was working fine for me. I will tweak the settings again and find the best combination.

The LTE issue is interesting, it works fine for me (UK on EE) but I have not done a clean install in a while.

I will install a fresh start tomorrow and see if I can work out what is wrong, hopefully it is something simple like a setting not being initialised properly.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
I will take a look at bumping that up, I did it for the speakerphone already.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
[MENTION=9287497]binichnich[/MENTION], the flipflap app should be installed, if the flip cover isn't working then maybe the sensor isn't enabled. I will have to check that.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
After a bit of playing on a clean flash I can confirm the issue.

I have found a workaround though. What seems to work is disabling the "Automatic Network Selection" (Settings->Network and Internet->Mobile Network->Advanced) and once it's finished searching manually select your home network, most of the time this seems to drop back out and re-enables "Automatic Network Selection" but you then have LTE. If it simply selects your network (and no LTE) re-enable the auto selection and reboot. I was able to get LTE working each time using this method. I will have a search for a fix now that I can recreate and work around it.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] thebinf:
Thanks for the workaround. Currently I'm in an area where I don't know whether LTE is available. I'll check when I'm back home.

Hi there, i have an magician and it had a reception problem.. i found a possible solution for it!.. what i exedantly discovered was that if you update your radio rom to 1.13.00. and put you sd card out your phone and turn it on you get greaat reception.. it worked with me so go ahead and try!

Thanks!

I don't think bootloader unlocking allowed by Amazon, same as Verizon.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] NoBodyUKnow:
Thanks. I see Best Buy also has the G6 for the same price ($249). Can anyone confirm any variations of this phone are Bootloader unlockable?

Thanks ?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] jfalls63:
The Carrier unlocked XT 1925-6 should be able to bootloader unlock. Haven't tried it yet since no working TWRP or custom roms.

Unlocking the bootloader will probably also cause the Play Store to list your phone as Uncertified, keeping you from downloading certain apps like Netflix.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] GavinMazey:
I bought an unlocked E4 plus at best buy and unlocked the bootloader. Picked the g6 unlocked up from best buy also and fully expect it to be unlockable but waiting for twrp before doing so myself.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] NoBodyUKnow:
Updating to share, that I purchased a Moto G6 XT1925-6 from Best Buy and was able to obtain an unlock code via the Motorola website.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I had to do a non-root rewrite after running into some issues. This should work on the HD 8 as well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niz180sx:
Awesome...!

Love your work, long time reader but never really needed to post as I've generally read out of interest and my old trusty Samsung tablet has been serving it's purpose. As my Samsung tablet has now aged and I'm putting it to rest (R.I.P.), I've acquired a few Fire HD 10 tablets (one for me and one each for my parents). Problem is that after installing Google Play, am not able to use it with GPS software (like Sygic). I've tried the process listed here on a fresh tablet and also by reflashing to stock my tablet, but does not seem to get working.

Following your process step-by-step, there is no indication that the Play Store files gets updated and no pop-ups like the ones shown at step 8 and onwards...

Questions:

1. Is there an indicator to show that the Play Store files are being updated?

2. Is the pop-up window (indicated at step 8) always suppose to occur when we complete this step?

3. Do we need to install your APK's for the updated framework and the systemconfig updates from you before this will work?

Finally... Thanks for your great work and you're definitely a very large contributor to this community. Thank you.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
1. There may not be an indicator.

2. If you turned location services on prior to installing the 4 apks , it should show up every time when you toggle it off then back on. I've done this more times than I care to admit and in each case the fort box pops up every time. The second one may only pop up when you've previously turned off location history. Also make sure to sign into play store wait a few minutes then toggle location off then on. Might need to clear data of 4 apks and try again though. I don't know what Amazon made this such a pain.

.

3. No. This guide it not related to any of my mods and housing need any other special APPs for this particular guide.

Side note: the GPS chip in these devices is not active. It does exist, but according to the .mk file, was deactivated in the kernel. That's why Android OS has AGPS integrated into their framework (in case a device doesn't fully support gps).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niz180sx:
Thanks for the reply. Very helpful...

Anyways, I did another reflash to stock and reinstalled the Play Store APK's and monitored the versions. The updates never happened and I tried to force an update by pressing on the version number (in settings) a few times. But after a few hours of still not updating, the Play Store never updates and hence I tried a clear cache and clear data for the Play Store apps. This then actually allowed for the update to progress after logging in again next. Hopefully this helps anyone else that gets stuck with the same.

DragonFire1024 - One more favour, can you try and install Sygic and see if the GPS locks or not? I've tried on the 3 devices here and I'm not sure if I've just done something wrong and hence the GPS is not locking or if Sygic just isn't able to use AGPS as the GPS source and isn't able to lock since the other parts of the GPS modules are not active? Thanks in advance.

Also, if you have any GPS apps that you could recommend with on device maps, that's the only criteria I have left that I need to get working for my parents.

Thanking you.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WCE68:
No Root required now?

So, if I understand correctly, we can follow the instructions without a rooted device?

Also, you indicated that we have to start with a fresh install of Fire OS. This is no longer the case with my device, and I'm just trying to fix the location services. I can find instructions on rooting the device (which I don't want to do unless necessary) and I can find copies of the Fire OS images, but I've failed at finding instructions on how to install the stock FireOS image. My device is a Fire HD 8 (2017). If you can point me towards a thread with what I need, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
I cannot help with location services but as far as I know you CANNOT root an hd8, its not possible with locked bootloader. Only hd10 can gain root, so perhaps the better question is to ask if this can be done on an hd8
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Factory reset for an HD 8 then follow this guide. This should work on all Amazon tablets. I have a Fire 7, HD 8 and 10. Works on all three, rooted or not.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fclifton:
I have a new Fire HD 10 (2017). I installed Google Play Store before seeing this thread. I want to use YoutubeTV but when it launches it says it can't determine my location. Which is what brought me to this thread :) I have the latest HD 10 OS loaded (5.6.2.0?). If I do a factory reset, will I still have that version and will it work with the process you have? Thanks, Frank
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Yes you will still have 5.6.2.0. Before a reset, clear the data of and uninstall the 4 APKs then reset. Install the APKs from the guide linked in my OP. Install them as is and do not download the updated versions. Make sure location services are on before installation.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fclifton:
So I tried to follow your instructions, but I was not able to get Google location services working. At least I don't think so. I never saw any pop ups asking me to agree to the use of Google Location services. It is probably operator error on my part. Here is what I did by the steps you have:

I first cleared data from and uninstalled the 4 APKs. Then I set the tablet back to factory default. I am attempting this without rooting.

1. The thread you linked to said that newer versions of Silk could be used to install the APKs, so I didn't download them to my PC. I used Silk in step 5.

2. I enabled developer options and enabled ADB. Did not move APKs because they are not on my PC as stated in step 1.

3. So here is the first place I wasn't sure exactly what to do. Your instructions are to go to Settings | Wireless | Connect to Wifi. However, since I reset my tablet back to Factory Defaults, the first screen is to set language and then the next is to setup Wifi. I had to connect to Wifi to proceed, so I did. The next screen says it found like 11 system updates. Wasn't sure what to do with them, so I let them be installed. The next screen wanted me to register, so I did that. The next screen has to do with restoring a backup which I skipped. The next screen has 4 options, one of which is Enable Location Services. I unchecked that (but checked it again later in Step 4). The next two screens had to do with suggested apps which I skipped. The one after that introduces Show Mode, a demo that I had to let run. After that is a Fire tutorial which I skipped. Next was an intro to Alexa hands free, which I was not able to skip.. I allowed Alexa hands free. Finally after all that I was at the home desktop screen! From there I launched the Appstore app and disabled automatic updates. Whew! And not exactly what was in your Step 3.

4. Did Settings | Wireless | Location based services and enabled it

5. Used Silk to download and install each APK in the order listed. (Downloaded one, installed, went to the next)

6. Launched Play Store, which did start ok, and after signing in turned off automatic updates. Could not tell if the 4 APKs updated.

7. Did Settings | Wireless | Location based services disabled it, counted to 20 and enabled it.

No pop up :(

8. From Home Screen launched Google Settings. One time I got the pop up. Another time I did not.

At this point I installed Youtube TV and it still said unable to determine location. Other apps like weather and maps did find my location so I assume some kind of location services is running. I disabled location services for weather, then launched weather again and got a dialog saying it needed location services. It did not look like the Google popup so I guess it was still the Amazon service.

So, my experience didn't quite match up with your instructions. I can see in a couple places where I could make it match more closely, but there were a lot of things in Step 3 that I wasn't clear about. Any ideas?

Thanks, Frank

Were you able to have luck with this for Youtube TV?

I'm still unable to get past the location prompt.

Worked for getting my location on other apps. Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fclifton:
No I don't have YouTube Tv working yet. I haven't given up on it yet.

I also got some other apps to work, but I think they were using Amazon location services, not Google.

I also just got a Fire HD 10 and installed the 4 google apks before seeing this thread. I'm also not rooted. However, all I needed to do to get GPS to work was to turn the Fire OS Location Based Services toggle off. (Settings-Wireless-Location Based Services). Upon opening Google Maps it asked me to use GPS and it just worked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fclifton:
Yes! Did the same and now it appears that Google location is being used. Thanks!
