[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Yes, both the S9 plus and the Note 8 use digital zoom in anything but optimal light, and I am pretty sure I read that the iphone does the same.

The only plus to the P20 Pro doing it is the digital zoom is from a 40MP sensor which is the biggest on a smartphone so you get comparable quality to a zoom lens.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ketman5001:
How did you know that 40 mp is used when optical zoom is not available, because when using 40 mp mode, digital zooming will be unavailable
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Digital zoom is cropped 40mp
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mathab:
It would be nice to use the zoom lens in low light while in pro mode... dont you think?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
No because the noise reduction would destroy it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] siddagivers:
it would be great. if i want to use optical zoom in low light why not in pro mode/ some force button to use optical. if i can use tripod and low iso it's my choice which kind of lens i want to use.

UPD: It turns out bpf() syscall is blocked by seccomp.

From what I understand, Android seccomp whitelists all syscalls listed in bionic SYSCALLS.TXT, and then blacklists some of them, or whitelists missing in SYSCALLS.TXT.

Since bpf() is missing from SYSCALLS.TXT and not whitelisted for applications, we can't use bpf() on stock Android settings.

That sucks.

Allowing the bpf() syscall is safe as its usage is still gated by selinux and regular apps are not allowed to use it.

If I go the Nougat route I should get most of the App Settings functionality to work. Not sure about AppOpsXposed.

can it be rooted?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] lamepsycho:
Already posted it in another thread but had no luck with answers I guess this a better place to ask

So here we go:

I have a f800l lg v20 not Rooted

Android 7.0

Updated security patch 1st september 2016

Kernel 3.18.31

Build no Nrd90m

Software version F800L 10g

My question is that can I update my Android to Oreo 8.0 which is available via Software update and then gain root access? If no, what is the last update limit for me to not lose rooting possibility. Or is it possible to downgrade to a previous update state after updating it to either Oreo 8.0 or other updated security patch levels? What would you suggest? I've heard Oreo is good with little battery drainage percentage as compared to Nougat which is my primary interest. I don't want to make a move to lose my rooting ability. Are there any other means available to upgrade to oreo without using lg software update in order to achieve both Oreo and root? And if it is not possible to achieve both Oreo and root are there any custom roms or kernels available with good battery drainage percentage? What would suit me the best. Sorry in advance for asking so many questions and not knowing if these questions have already been discussed and answered.

Thank you

well if someone here that knows how to make zip, you can make a flashable rooted f800 series oreo rom.

Just change the 2 things in the full dump.

1. stock aboot changed to dirtysanta eng aboot

2. stock boot changed to magisk patched stock boot.

The rest of the files should be all unchanged.

I'm not that much related with android phones but my girls sim card doesnt work with any carrier in Greece.

How can I unlock it? Does it need to be rooted, reinstall any other ROM or what?
[HTC Startrek] landwomble:
the data connector on the missus' new phone is *way* too stiff. I'm convinced it's going to break at some point.

Is there anything that can be done to make it fit a little less snugly? i thought it'd get better over time but it hasn't so far...
[HTC Startrek] batfrog:
I know what you mean, if you look on the back of the plug you will see a little dimple of metal sticking up that does the locking part. What I did was very carefully file it flat and now the plug just slips in easily, it is very small so be careful with filing it down.
[HTC Startrek] kbiz:
mine broke indeed... it pulled out with the charger... ended up putting a new core in from a parts phone off ebay... had to unlock, etc though... good call with the filing...

did the exact same thing batfrog,but I used the rough edge of a flathead screwdriver.Whenever I get to open the phone I might go in there and put in some epoxy behind the connector for kicks....

Unless you are swinging the phone around your head like a lasso..the connector is way too tight..it almost seems like it was designed to break..planned obsolescence anyone?

First of all big big thank you @maniac103 for supporting this device :)

Next I already found a bug as I can't connect to wifi. It tries to connect then the status stays on "connection saved". I've tried everything with wifi password, without and even WPS won't work. I've tested 20180724 and 20180731 ;)

Felt butter smooth but didn't do very much as I switched back to good working 14.1 pretty quick :)
[Oppo R5] davendiva:
Error 7 in TWRP with install.

Hi, thanks for the hard work, I have an Oppo r5s int version. I have tried to install/ update 15.1 and I get error 7 in TWRP. I have to unzip the ROM and edit the update script to get it to install, and I have had to do this with each nightly that has been released. What can I do to avoid this, I never had a problem with 14.1? I have tried a clean and dirty flash but get the same result. Another problem is gapps, I have tried to install arm 8. 1 within TWRP but the installation freezes. The gapps on my phone still works perfectly but are from the previous version of lineage 14.1. Does the gapps 8.1 take a long time to install as it overwrites the previous version or do I just leave it?
[Oppo R5] mwayne:
You probably have an old version of TWRP. Update to this version and you should be good to go: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329072194

Maybe this also solves your GApps problem. If you install 15.1 your old GApps get deleted. I always flash the nano version as it is lighter and faster ;)
[Oppo R5] davendiva:
Error 7 in TWRP with install.

Thanks, you are a star for guessing correctly. I had a slight suspicion it might be TWRP as I was on version 3.0.3.0. I did try and download it from the TWRP website but they never put the a version that works with the R5s, I tried the R7s version as I heard that works but it didn't. Your link for twrp worked perfectly, after that was installed I reflashed the latest nightly, no more error 7 and finally GApps 8.1 nano (always nano) again perfect. I hope this helps anyone else that has the same problems and again many thanks to you and the devs.

:good:
[Oppo R5] mwayne:
You're welcome. I had the same issue at first. Is your wifi working?
[Oppo R5] davendiva:
Hi, I only had and issue with the wifi on the very first 15.1 nightly (20180710) it was very temperamental and would work then stop. So I reverted back to a backup of lineage 14.1 I had made prior to this, I guessed that being the very first nightly it could be a bit buggy. The next 15.1 nightly (20180717) which I flashed straight over 14.1 without any wipe in TWRP worked perfectly and wifi is operating as expected and has done with the 2 following 15.1 nightlies which is up to present. I have used my R5S on several different WiFi connections and all is functioning properly. Is your wifi working OK?
[Oppo R5] mwayne:
Thanks for the info. I just dirty flashed 20180731 (no wipe dalvik/cache) and it works perfect :)
[Oppo R5] davendiva:
Excellent, I'm glad you solved your problem, we both got there in the end. It should be simple from now on by using the update in the settings menu instead of messing around in TWRP manually.
[Oppo R5] sendalcapito:
I got a issue with my wifi, I can't tunr on and searching for wifi network.

Can you fix this bug.

Thank you
[Oppo R5] davendiva:
Read the previous messages. You can flash straight over lineageos 14.1 without any wipe with the latest twrp installed with the latest 15.1 nightly

I can not reboot to recovery by holding the power button and volume down button after I falsh twrp-3.2.1-0-r5-20180110.img in fastboot.

I can only get into the system setup ,but the device does not respound when I touch the screen.

My device is OPPO R8107,the same hardware of R8106 version;Already flashed the Full Wipe Package.
[Oppo R5] mkstevo:
I see a couple of problems with WiFi here. I too am having problems with the WiFi. I tried wiping the entire disk, all sections including the dalvik cache, system, data and cache and then re-installed again but I find the Wifi turns itself off as soon as I try to turn it on. I noticed some other people had similar problems, with their MAC addresses showing as 'Unavailable' or 02:00:00:00:00:00 which was suggested to be encryption on the disk which is why I wiped everything and re-installed again.

I installed this over an original Oppo R5 installation, following the instructions on the Lineage wiki for the R5.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I should add that I installed version lineage-15.1-20181016-nightly-r5-signed. I have also tried a 'dirty flash' over the top of an existing install of Lineage which also seems to have the same problem.
[Oppo R5] davendiva:
The stage I installed TWRP is after you have flashed project spectrum recovery & rom and then unlocked the bootloader. The recovery can reset itself to the original if you reboot your phone with the computer. As soon as you have flashed TWRP from fastboot, unplug from the computer and then press power and vol down and hold them untill it reboots. Only use the twrp that mwayne posted earlier as the official TWRP site downloads don't work. If this doesn't work the issue might be because yours is the Chinese version, the R8106 is the global version.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

Hi, this are the steps I made for installing 15.1 and I have no issues with wifi other than the very first nightly.

1. Follow the steps from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/r5/install

2. Use only TWRP from mwayne's link from an earlier post.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329072194

3. Flash any lineage 14.1 rom first, this is important.

4. Once installed reboot phone and download the latest lineage 15.1 nightly and GApps ARM 8.1 nano onto phone.

5. Boot recovery, select the 15.1 and install then do the same with gapps. Once finished just reboot device. Do not wipe or format anything before or after the install in TWRP this time, just install and reboot.

6. You can go to gplay and add any more GApps you require.

Hope this helps
[Oppo R5] mkstevo:
Hello.

I really appreciate your assistance here. I have tried to find a copy of the 14.1 rom for the R5 but they appear to have been removed from LineageOS website. Thinking you meant 'any' 14.1 rom, I downloaded one for the Oppo N3/N5 and attempted to install it but the install fails with the message that it is the wrong file for the device.

Am I looking in the wrong place for the 14.1 rom? Or should I be doing something to force the install of the N3/N5 version?

Sorry if I'm showing my stupidity here...

[Oppo R5] mkstevo:
Super thanks. I'll give it a go.

Many, many thanks for your kindness in locating the version 14 for me. I have today managed to install this onto my Oppo R5 and am delighted to say that it is working superbly, WiFi included.

As this version includes the Trebuchet launcher, I'm quite happy to stick with V14 for the time being, especially given that it is working and took me ages to set up as I would like. I prefer the Trebuchet launcher to most others and have actually installed the generic version of it (Catapult) on previous devices.

I'd like to say thanks again, you've helped a 50+ year old out immensely.

i am having a problem installing Lineage OS Version 15.1 and latest version 16 nightly. the error code 7 appears in all version available to download on the official website and tried to edit the script just to make the installation work. it did flashed the ROM, it will boot on the system, however in some unknown reason the device will freeze then the screen will turn off( but it seems like it did not shutdown, the device seems ACTIVE but the screen is OFF ). so i needed to hold the power button to reboot the device and the problem will be encounter again. the device will freeze after a few seconds after the device is booted or rebooted. i tried to wipe the data cache, dalvik, factory reset, no gapps installed do it over and over tried to install again then wipe cache/dalvik all possible way i know fix it but no luck. i even tried to boot the device on safe mode yet the problem still occurs. i can't even use my device even just for a minute to make a log.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] jazir:
I currently get only 3g speeds, but that's because i don't want to switch the IMEI registration in At&t's database as i still use my iPhone as my main phone and will not have LTE speeds on the iPhone if i switch the way it's registered in At&t's system. It will definitely work with LTE speeds on At&t's network, i spoke to a rep on the phone, you have to call them and provide them with your IMEI and they will manually add the phone to their database and you will get LTE speeds. The phone is capable of LTE on AT&t, if you check the bands: https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g7_thinq-9115.php , it is 100% compatible with the bands At&t's LTE uses: https://forums.att.com/t5/Phone-Device-Upgrades/What-are-AT-amp-T-s-4G-LTE-bands/td-p/4067288

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] shzero0:
So I currently own the LM-G710EAW (LG G7+/Plus HK/SG Variant). It has two IMEI's, maybe this why the band support is different? Also on the box itself, it list bands 12 and 17 which are AT&T's primary LTE bands (according to Wiki). I just got the phone today, and I didn't get time until this evening to talk to AT&T support. They have put in a request for me, and they have said they will get back to me within 24 hours letting me know how to get LTE working. I would like to note this variant is also on Amazon with two reviews stating they also had trouble setting up LTE, but they did get it resolved. I do believe the phone can be supported on AT&T's LTE network because why would the box label be mislabeled? Here is a picture of the label found on the box: imgur dot com 2Z3ldD5 (I can't post links since I have a new account, but you can follow that typed out) Thank you all for reading. I will update with what information I find out by AT&T. Please do so yourself, too - that is if you figure it out ;) .
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] shzero0:
So I have just tried a couple different things with AT&T to get this resolved. The first being using the IMEI of my old phone to see if LTE would come through. It did not work. We then added the new IMEI and tried again - still did not work. We tried some custom APN settings - still did not work. The very last thing we did was add my IMEI to AT&T's range of "known" IMEI's - this did not work, either; however, the CS rep said that they could now see my phone as an LTE compatible device on their end, and it was not showing this before. They said to wait 24 hours so the full system can be rebooted/swept, and that it should fetch LTE afterwards. So now we wait boys. I'll keep updating.
