[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] AaronCompNetSys:
I'll be using my Mix Max 2 for a GPS device, like in a Tesla. Permanently tethered to power and headphone jack. I usually run a couple Xposed modules to make changing songs easier, and things like that. Would the Pixel Experience ROM suit me best for its stability and lack of tweaks?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] Voidablazer:
Why everyone is saying msm is the best rom right now? Pixel experience seems more up to date
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
it depends what people like to focus on. some people prefer frequent updates, other prefer battery life, others performance or theming options or customization options or stability, etc.

thats why ull always hear different opinions from different users :) so whenever someone says "this is the best rom!" my first question is always: in what regard is it best?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] pooley1:
hya peeps,

looking to switch from stock rom, it seems MSM and Pixel experience seems popular which provides best battery life/ stability?

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] Voidablazer:
Sorry for my question but I am kinda new. Can you give us the pros and cons of those two roms?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
ive only been on xuefer los 14.1 and msm xtended v9.5 so far, so cant comment on other roms :) xuefer has better battery life but msm xtended is way more fluid and has more customization options.

What is the the BEST performance ROM? And no bugs

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
the is no bugless custom rom for MM2 atm. but the only omnipresent bug is the missing possibility to adjust volume in call. as for performance, u could flash latest hardrock kernel onto any rom and overclock the crap out of cpu and gpu, thus get max performance ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] Voidablazer:
Can someone give us the advantages and disadvantages between these two roms:

Msm extended, and pixel experience

Thanks, I want to decide which to try for now
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] SankyEI:
Try both,you will know yourself which suits you the best..

In my opinion msm rocks

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cgt:
I've had my S8 for about 8 months now, pretty happy with the phone. Let me preface this and say I was with Verizon when I got this phone, a few months ago I decided to cut ties and go with Straight Talk as the service was less expensive. Over the last few weeks I have had trouble with the USB mass storage and OTG adapter not working at all, I am using the OEM pieces that came the phone. I go to plug in the cable or the OTG and my phone starts doing the USB connect/disconnect notification. At this point I am thinking of calling Samsung to see if I can get the port repaired under warranty, I think its weird that the OTG and cable are not working to transfer files or connect devices other than the charger. I have reset the settings on the phone, installed Samsung's mobile device driver on my pc (WIN 7 Ultimate x64) , no luck. Anybody run into this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] khawarjaved:
try another pc or get charging port repaired if it ain't charging properly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cgt:
Called Samsung, they are having me take it to a UBreakiFix place for their technicians to look at it. They think it could be corrupt software or damaged charging port. It's still under warranty so hopefully they can fix it without having to refurb the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cgt:
Got it fixed, replaced the port. Phone had a small corner crack in the screen they said Samsung wouldn't warranty the port. Gonna call them about that.

[General Questions and Answers] JustHobby:
I installed a twrp recovery and used it to root my SM-J710FN (Samsung galaxy j7 2016) with no problems, but then i thought of genius idea to disable OEM unlock in developer settings to stop anyone else from flashing firmware if my device was stolen. So next time i rebooted the phone i was greeted with "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".

Now i can only go to download mode (now even into recovery). I searched and found that if i try to flash stock samsung-signed firmware, frp will let it install and i will be able to update my phone from SmartSwitch and it will be like new.

My problem is that i can't find any firmware from Europe/Serbia, only ones available are from Asia , India or Sri Lanka.

My question is, if i try to flash this firmware:

1. Will FRP let it flash since it is from another region

2.Will it affect any of my connecting capabilities(my phone can use all sim cards, it is not tied to carrier)(my phone supports 4G, LTE, NFC and all other basic connection tehnologies)

3.Could i have any other issues (will my IMEI change or anything else)

4.Will i be able to use SmartSwitch to update my phone later
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] rrlinker3:
I installed a third party dialing app and want to get rid of the Vivo dialer as it won’t stop acting as the default dialer.

I have used ADB regularly to remove apps so I am familiar with the process. My question is - There are four pre-installed phone apps. Not sure if I should delete all four or just the actual dialer app.

They are:

Phone – com.android.dialer

Phone – com.android.phone

Phone Management – com.android.incallui

Phone Service – com.android.server.telecom

Phone/Messaging Storage – com. Android.providers.telephony

Thanks for any help or insight you can provide.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] rrlinker3:
Forgot to mention, the dialer app I installed is Simpler Dialer
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Hoshinavi:
delete only dialer

Deleting only [com.android.dialer] will work well for third-party apps.

it's not working :( also, DO NOT uninstall com.android.phone :)
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] codymamak:
I am adding myself to this thread, as I regularly use Google Dialer on other phones with ROMs more dev-friendly.

I installed the patched apk from Xda but when I receive a call, it's still showing the default Vivo dialer.

I replaced it in the default apps and also applied all the security permissions to app and in security center, but still no success.

Any idea?

Not sure of Chinese version but works fine in international version nex s.

Then try activity launcher method.

Install activity launcher app

Open app select all activities in the drop down at top

Scroll down and navigate to settings in the list

Open settings and check for Default App and click on it

Default app window will be launched.

Now select phone from there and select the dialer u wish to use.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewalkernz:
Today's 6P security update has been served to my device. However a couple of factors make me pause before allowing it.

First up - it's got a different naming convention to previous updates. The name for all updates until now led with "8.1.0" - missing from this one. E.G "8.1.0 (OPM6.171019.030.E1, Jul 2018)" VS "(OPM6.171019.030.H1, Aug 2018)".

Most concerningly however is that the update screen on my Nexus 6p states that the update is for "Nexus 5X" - I can't recall any previous updates having this incorrect model name & so wonder if they've associated the wrong update file.

See image attached.

Has anyone installed it yet? I don't want to brick...

Hello everyone,

I bought a Bonroad C116M706AR8 head unit in China. After running it from my desk where it worked perfectly. Then i rooted the device with the adb method described here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75173768&postcount=3

HTC-PX5 REV. 8.0 (32gb / 4gb)

1024*800 screen

Android 8.0

After the power was taken off the device got stuck on the Android logo. I cannot get this thing in recovery mode with none of the described methods on the forum. With the rockchip Create upgrade disk tool i made a bootable SD card and tried all the HCT android 8 images i can find on the forum. After putting the SD in the GPS slot it boots but when i select "update system" i always end up in error:

It makes no difference if i leave or remove the sdupdate.img file.

Also the Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition function makes no difference for me.

Is there any hope to get this thing working again? And can someone please give me a pointer what i can try to make this unit work again. Your help is very much appreciated! If more info is needed I am more than happy to provide it!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 744:
Trying to help a friend that is using this phone with G900VVRU1BOC4 as the version installed. When she checks for updates, the popup says the phone is up to date.

Does it make any sense to update the phone to G900VVRU2DQL1 manually with ODIN?

Do you need to be rooted to update (I don't want to root it)?

If yes, do I just update directly to G900VVRU2DQL1 or I need to install other versions first?

Will there be any improvements to the phone usage experience or the opposite?

Thank you very much for your help!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
First off, the following thread is the one that has all the Stock Firmware for the G900V and other tools/information...

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3757416

Honestly, the bottom line answer would depend upon whether or not the devices Bootloader is unlocked with a Custom Recovery like TWRP.

If the device is all Stock, and your question is if it really "needs" to be updated, the answer I personally would give is both "Yes" and "No".

I'll briefly elaborate the best I can...

YES - If you're on "All Stock", the most up-to-date firmware has certain updates, fixes, patches and such that's beneficial to the device along with the Modem as well (the modem is what handles the WiFi, Mobile Connection to the carrier, etc...).

NO - If the device is working without any issues and your happy with the way it is now, "technically" the Firmware doesn't "need" to be updated BUT, if you decide not to update the Stock Firmware ROM, you should, at least, update the Modem Firmware.

The Modem Firmware (specifically the NON-HLOS version) is exactly what I had just outlined above. This Custom Modem has the 2 required files pulled from the Stock Firmware and created to be flashed from Odin.

To add, it's always encouraged to backup on a regular basis but, If you update the Modem Firmware, you don't loose anything and only updates the Modem itself and doesn't touch anything else.

The following thread is where the Modem Updates are located.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CynicalHeight00:
I live in the US, and I am currently subscribed to Verizon Wireless Prepaid Service. I was thinking of buying the S9+ International Exynos Unlocked Version. I know that it doesn't have CDMA support.

But here's my question:

I have a S8+ which was bought from T-Mobile, and it didn't work on Verizon Wireless because it wasn't registered. So I flashed the firmware and it worked. I later got a B.Y.O.D simcard. This would mean that the GSM(Sim Chip) is the provider of the Verizon Wireless service.

So is it possible that the S9+ will work on Verizon Wireless as did for my S8+?

After the first error i have contacted the seller on Alibaba and they have asked to me to reset once and see. so i did but after that again this issue happened. Also seller was like it might be due to the fact m using different launcher,which is highly rated good and paid app. Kindly please help me in this issue.

[Samsung Gear VR] 587.saboor:
How do i run the gear vr software without connecting it with the port? my charging port (hole) is broken a bit and wont work with the gear vr.
[Samsung Gear VR] JaguarXT:
Follow the link below to setup developer mode and how to use developer mode

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Platforms/GearVR/Debugging

Then start developer mode and choose a Gear VR app to run. With your controller just click on home button couple of times until it is activated in screen. Now put Samsung phone device into your Gear VR. Hit home button to get option to quit app. Now you are in Oculus Home.

Just a question: why not just replace the device with S9, S9+, or Note 9? Or try out Google's VR?

For you wireless charging comes in handy.
[Samsung Gear VR] 587.saboor:
Id rather prefer my a8 because its like the best size and weight for me, s9 is too light and i drop it more than a8, ik its wierd, also idc about the specs as long as it has enough to play a low end game

Cardboard doesnt have functionality for some games like minecraft (dont judge i still play that game) also you can run cardboard on gear vr so gear vr is better
[Samsung Gear VR] 587.saboor:
Ok i followed the directions and it said setup incomplete, (i shouldnt have factory reset my phone ._.)
[Samsung Gear VR] JaguarXT:
First, on your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone go to Settings > Apps> Application Manager > Gear VR Service.

Next, tap on Storage then tap on Manage Storage.

Then, tap on the VR Service Version 6 times.

You should now see a scan process happen and when completed you should see the Developer Mode toggle on the screen. This doogle should turn on at off Developer Mode. I Developer mode your screen should have a little flicker. That is normal and won't notice while you have the Gear VR headset on.

Now, you should be able to launch your Gear VR Project and have it display without having to use the Gear VR Headset.

I only tested this in Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Which I have. Latest test w/o and w/ headset today.

Test without headset first. Then it works then test with headset.

The down side of Developers mode is that it drains your battery.

The downside of your port problem - You can't use the controller on the headset itself. You can only use the remote controller. Due to the fact that your device can't connect to the Gear VR through its Micro USB port.

Sometimes resetting can help. Uninstall the VR apps first if you can. So there is no VR apps left behind like in Micro SD card.

If I were you I would get very tired of losing battery power so quickly while using Gear VR in Developer mode without being able to AC power the device while in VR headset. Personally I would just replace the device for better experience overall. Wireless charging not solution, because you can't wireless charge the device while in VR headset.

Note - I move some of the VR apps in my Micro SD card. Don't move any Samsung or Oculus apps to your Micro SD card. This will cause problems. most other VR apps can be moved.

Samsung A8 has support issues with some stuff in Gear VR (Oculus). This maybe what is going on.

(How it broke was i almost fried my charging port when i heard a sizzle, right when i heard the sizzle, i removed the cord immediately to avoid any more damage making my phone unchargeable)

Talking about Gear VR stuff. Like Samsung PhoneCast is not supported (issues) on A8. Maybe A8 has issues with Developer mode as well.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

Just out of curiosity. Was the cable and charger Samsung orginal (not something from Amazon with Samsung name on it or another brand name)? Was the cable showing wear? Did you have to move the cable around to get the A8 charging?
[Samsung Gear VR] 587.saboor:
Nope, it actually does support it, its just that i just forgot to set it up

Nope, ive ordered a new samsung official charger from the samsung and still the problem remained, its the hole's problem

You need to go back and turn on Dev mode. Dev mode is off by default due to the flickering. Once you are done, just turn off dev mode again to stop the flickering.

"To enable and disable VR Developer mode, slide the Developer Mode slider from On to Off and VR Developer mode will be enabled or disabled."
