[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CoreyOS:
Hi all,

Was just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and could possibly shed some light...

Basically, Google Maps, Clock, Google/Assistant and Photos seem to just not work... If I disable them and uninstall updates and use the original apps they wrok fine. As soon as they're updated they just launch, freeze and then just don't even FC... It's really weird.

I've updated Google Play, framework etc cleared data on everything Google but still cant seem to get it to work.

I have s8 G950F on CRD7 firmware. (Official)

I have Ice box installed an running but only to stop certain Samsung apps. (No Google apps)

If I could, I think I'd rather **** Google play services off and stick to AOSP alternatives (if they install)

If anyone knows a good way of removing GPServ please lemme know so I can get rid of this crap if I can't fix it....

I made a regrettable choice of getting the S8. Hardware is great but software can suck massive donkey balls with its non treble ass.

Hi everyone,

I accidentally rebooted my Nexus 7 kind of funny by holding down the power button. I was trying to take a screenshot. Instead, it rebooted.

Ever since then the home button hasn't worked. I tried wiping the dalvik and the cache. No luck there.

Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have a fix?

Hi everyone,

I have a old Galaxy Nexus in these conditions:

- The phone doesn't completely boot, it stucks in the X logo

The phone is from a friend who asked me to "save it"! What can i do in these conditions? I have tried to unbrick it, tried 2 methods i found here in xda and no luck.

I installed Android toolkit and follow the steps, 1 installed the drivers and 2 tried to unlock bootloader, it reboots into fastboot but the it stucks, i have to disconnect and connect again and the does not completely boot, it stucks in X logo

What is possible to do to save the phone? Can anyone help please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Izmile:
I had flashed to R16NW.G955USQS3CRE1 OTA zip from CRD4 firmware from science.samsung.firmware website, with May 1, 2018 security patch. But then I downloaded G955USQU3CRD4 odin firmware from google documents, flashed it, put everything in correct order, but it failed to flash. Currently, I cannot receive any software updates. I also couldn't flash BQL1, because I think it was V2 bootloader and I'm on V3 bootloader. Does anyone have the right files or link to the files? I just want everything returning to stock, and recieve software updates OTA. Thank you in advance!

I can't tell looking at repair videos, those seem to be all LCD/Digitizer replacements.

My LCD/Digitizer is fine, I have a small crack in the top glass and I'm hoping it can be removed without removing the LCD/Digitizer.

I've see just the glass for sale, but have no idea if just it can be replaced.

Help from anyone "Who's been there, done that" is appreciated.

TIA,

Dave
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Mrkblo:
It can be done, there are videos on youtube of people doing it, however considering that the screen is LCD you're better off replacing everything (LCD+DIGITIZER). It takes a lot of skill to replace only the glass, and will probably cost the same as a new screen that can be easily replaced with cheap tools.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Rajsingh333:
Hi guys,

How Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 6GB variant compares with Mi Max 3?

I feel Mi Max 3 will be on positive side for

1. bigger battery (5500 mAh vs 5000 mAh)

2. quick charge 3

3. IR blaster

Whereas Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 6GB variant will be on positive side for

1. Near stock android (vs MIUI)

I use Nexus 6. I do a lot reading on it. Many times I read in split screen mode in two apps (say two instances of Microsoft Word, one through ES Parallel Space). Nexus 6 has broader screen (16:9 ratio). It was launched in 2014, but still have higher resolution and pixel density than both Max 3 and Zenfone!!! This makes it best to read in split screen mode in two apps. So I feel bigger screen of Mi Max 3 will be suitable for this purpose.

Also its stock android is great. Split screen functionality of Stock Naugat is better than that of MIUI.

I also feel MIUI provides better control over backgound apps and hence battery. I live with my four year old Nexus 6 in always on battery saver mode. This helps to extend battery life to at least 1 day. If I dont use battery saver mode, it will barely last for 15 hours. Also my Nexus 6 lags quite a lot now. Opening some 40 page word docs takes at least 5 sec. Will all this be gone with both Max 3 or Zenfone?

Also Nexus 6 had great camera with OIS. Mi Max 3 have AI camera while Asus Zenfone have 16MP phone. Dont know which one will have better camera at least better than Nexus 6?

So was guessing what will be best choice for me.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Neznam123:
Hi there. I think you are comparing apples with oranges. MM3 is 6.9, Max Pro M1 is 5.99. It is a perfect hardware match for redmi note 5 - so there you should compare. Regards!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Rajsingh333:
yeah I know there is 0.9" difference.

But I am not trying to compare them with each other, but with my usage scenario. Thats why I explained how I usually use it.

Usage scenario 1: Two Microsoft Word documents in split screen mode each 40+ page.

Usage scenario 2: Satisfying camera (at least better than Nexus 6)

I believe broader screen like Nexus 6 serves better when it comes to my usage scenario 1. Zenfone seems a bit narrower. In fact, in todays market, most 6" phone is narrower than 6" Nexus 6 due to their 18:9 ratio (Nexus 6 is 16:9). Also two instances of Word should work smoothly in split screen. My 4 year old Nexus 6 lags considerably at this. I dont know what is culprit: old processor (but its 2.6GHz quad core)? slower / smaller RAM? or battery?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
On paper, M1 is good but users report M1 has some problem included multitouch problem, not so good on battery/matterial quality :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Cryonics:
Ho boy.. I have Nexus 6 too. Was my daily driver until I ditched it for good with my Max 2. The worst thing about Nexus 6 was the camera, it's barely useable. Also fingerprint, the battery and SoC efficiency, I would trade AMOLED 1440p and front firing speakers for those any time of the day. Once you are in 10+ hours SOT territory you don't ever want to go back.

Also MIUI is not that bad at all, it's not as intrusive and forceful as Huawei EMUI. It looks clean and still have material design language.

[Magisk] rfgamaral:
I've been trying to read Magisk modules documentation and I've made a few personal modules to replace/add files, but how to remove files?

For instance, what do I need to do in a module to remove some system app like it was never installed?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Use this:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#remove-folders

It'll be like all files in the target folder is deleted.
[Magisk] rfgamaral:
@Didgeridoohan That's it, thanks. How do I mark your answer as accepted?
[Magisk] rfgamaral:
Thank you.
[Magisk] esgie:
With all the respect to topjohnwu, the linked answer is not 100% precise. If you replace system files with the empty copies, their functionality will be disabled of course, but their existence in the system will still be detectable, though the files cannot be considered as "really deleted". I can personally think of at least few scenarios when the above makes difference.

For example, there is a popular issue with Netflix not working at all on many devices with tampered boot partition (and tampering boot partition is unfortunately

required when installing any systemless root solution like Magisk...) due to the fact that the HD playback DRM library located at /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so (or /vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so) cannot access DRM keys located in Trusted Zone and fails to do its decoding job. The popular solution is to delete the liboemcrypto.so from the system, then device shall stop trying to play HD content via non-functional HD DRM engine and it shall switch to SD DRM mode which is not dependent on hardware decoding. In result, Netflix will start to work (in SD only mode, though, but it's more than nothing...).

In above scenario, replacing liboemcrypto.so with empty file with the same name will not work. That's because Android assumes that the HD DRM is available basing only on the liboemcrypto.so existence, without checking its content or size.

My own solution when making a Magisk Module which aims to delete some file is to override that file with its copy (and its content does not really matter, it might be 1:1 copy of original as well as 0 bytes empty file...) and additionally: to set its permissions to 000 - it can be easily achieved by editing the permissions part of module's config.sh when creating a module. After installing and enabling such a module, the subject file will still exist, but it won't be seen by the system and apps at all, as the 000 permissions make it absolutely forbidden to interact with the file at all, in any way, by any user (including "system") except root.

In the summary: approach proposed above should guarantee not only that the selected files functionality will be disabled but also that the system and third party user apps shall consider that files as totally non-existent, which i find a real equivalent of deleting the file.
[Magisk] rfgamaral:
I'm not sure I understood everything you said but the solution above works for my use case. For instance, I have this on my module:

REPLACE="
/system/priv-app/InCallUI
"

And after enabling my module and rebooting the device, browsing to /system/priv-app/InCallUI/, there's only one file there, ".replace". The .apk from that app is not available/visible anywhere. Launchers to do not detect this app, apps which list installed apps (user or system) do not show this "removed" app.

For all intents and purposes, it works for what I personally want to achieve.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DJNickyDVC:
Hi to all users, hoping you're having a nice day :) i ask you a question :D I bought two days ago a second hand Galaxy S7 Flat (G930F) gold platinum 32GB including original box and accessories and bla bla bla for 230€. The phone is working well is updated to Oreo with the latest security patch of July 2018 it's in the same condition as a new one really everything is fine except for one thing or two :D. Start talking about the battery that is really bad i can reach only 3h30min maybe 4h00min (only under WiFi usage) with screen resolution in FHD a lot of stuff deactivated etc everything setted for a low battery consumption (exeception for power saving mode that i hate) now the thing is i relate the battery to the second problem that i mentioned before and the problem is that the phone overheat a lot and i think this overheating is caused by the old bad battery is that possibile? An example im using only Whatsapp to text messages and the phone it's not hot but if alongside i open common application like Facebook or Instagram or anyway even if i open another two application that they are not Facebook or Instagram the phone overheat! I downloaded CPU-Z to see the temperature of the battery and it goes always from 30.4C to a max of 35.8C or sometimes 36.2C but never higher but the fact is that with this battery temperature when the phone is in my hand its really hot.. the thermal temperatures are always beetwen 36C when the phone is "cold" and max 46/47C when the phone is hot, almost forget to say not always but often the phone overheat a lot even when he is on charge.. now dont tell me that the battery its normal i know well that a S7 or S7 edge can do 6h or 7h of screen on usage (only over wi fi usage) or 4h on screen in 4G all day, mine with this battery reach only 1h33min or 2h in 4G i know this battery is bad and i will replace it in this days i hope until this friday but my question at the end is simple can an old battery cause so much overheating on this S7 or anyway in general on a phone? Thanks in advance to everyone that who spent time to read this and help me! :)

Hey everyone I just wanted to ask what this trebel label means, my lack of understanding and research tells me its kinda like OTA but for a more secure way to push updates to devices? being someone who has been using my device fine, am just a bit wonderous wondering what this Trebel means for my favorite ROM, Recovery and Kernel
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bornlivedie:
for the moment, forget about it

it's very green and brings more troubles than solutions or any gain in particular. We will see how things develop with time.

You can read more about treble in here

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-project-treble-revolutionizes-custom-roms-android-oreo/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dalebaxter01:
Reading the article I'm still a bit confused by what all this would mean for the end user, I really enjoy AEX since I moved from RR and it seems like this is the "latest and greatest" type of situation, yeah okay launches are tough but when everything smoothed out what would this treble allow us all to do?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nihalani:
In reality, it means little to the end user. It could theoretically mean that ROMS require less development time, since all roms in theory are based on a single image.

You can kinda of see this with Google's OEM Partners. At Google I/O they listed a number of partner OEMs that were the first to use treble and for the most part they have released upgrades quicker and more reliably then there non-treble counter parts. This also can be extended to the modding community and in general means that porting roms and developing them on a new phone should be easier.

This is all part of a bigger push by Google to gain uniformity across devices. They started requiring security updates in there SLA's and now are pushing treble.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] stinka318:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/13/project-treble-impact-android-custom-rom-community/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Oki:
In the future you will be able to flash the custom treble image specific for your hardware, and then a GSI (Generic System Image) of your choice: RR, AEX, DU, Tesla, etc... that will be generic and able to be flashed in any hardware. That means that GSI development teams will be able to maintain their roms and apply the security fixes without the need to create custom rom versions for each hardware. So, finally we will have real OTA updates for custom ROMs. We all hope LineageOS 16 to have more or less this philosophy too. Well see it in September.

So, benefits for the user:

More ROMs to choose for your device (actually all of them!!!)

More frequent upgrades from custom GSI teams.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alwynjoshy:
thanks you well explained ?️.

I have question, If we flashed treble once, are we able to flash any treble based rom, for example any devices treble roms
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nameless One:
Once you have the Treble framework in place and have then flashed a device specific vendor image you can from that point on flash any GSI ROM. The thing to note is that so far NFound's Treble ROMs have included vendor image files in them which makes them device specific, you need to check for and remove any vendor image files from Treble ROMs created for other devices if you wish to try the ROM on a device other than what it was made for.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Oki:
A treble rom is hardware specific, so you cant flash a treble rom designed for a different device. Only GSIs are compatible with multiple devices, and it is this way since the hardware dependant part is only in the treble rom.

Right now there are not fully treble roms available for the Axon7. The currently available roms labeled as treble are delivered and work as a usual full rom. The treble and system parts are still mixed up in those roms. It will take some time until we could enjoy a fully wotking treble rom in the Axon7.
