[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] osemoka:
So my question is : Persist is just a 2nd safety measure, which can help if we loose EF? So can I do those backups from custom softs and there will be no difference if i did it from official soft? My imei's are not lost.

Edit 1

I backed up persist with TWRP from this topic https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/help/how-to-persist-partion-moto-g5s-t3830442

How do I know if its allright ?
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
There's a little bit more to it than that. OTAs normally wipe the EFS on install, so it's not that persist is a safety measure, it is the primary means of getting your IMEI. Additionally, there are certain folders that are used when using things like 4G, Volte, etc. A number of other things get stored there, such as files for widevine (DRM), calibration for sensors, etc. That's why it is so important.

I can't tell what that specific version of TWRP does to backup persist, but if it's done as an image it will be about 32MB, or if it's done as 'files only' it will be around 3-400KB.

Hi

I like to change my CSC to XSA to use local Samsung Pay. Current CSC code is BRI. Is it possible to use Australian Samsung Pay without rooting device/void knox?

If yes, please guide me through steps(beginners level).

But..... I have bricked my X722, also I don't want to say yes.

Awesome Thank you so much!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsongming:
There is an identical version made specifically for the X722 on the 4PDA site.

At your own risk

I don't think you would have an issue using this one. I don't see how it could possibly hurt your phone . But, I don't really know so I don't and cannot recommend it.

Should decide to try it, let us know if it works.

I have tried boot animations from other phones and sometimes it works and sometimes it just show a black screen before booting to system. Again, I don't recommend it.

Edit: Nevermind , you are bold! I like that! Thanks for letting us know.

Unfortunately this version does not have english yet. But you can see the screenshot and use Google Translate to see its beauty.

So, this is just a skin of TWRP? If yes,it fits in every version of TWRP? Also for x722 or it doesn't matter?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsongming:
Even though I think you are correct,

I would advise against installing it on the X722. Its beautiful and seemingly runs very well. But I did experience a encryption issue twice...Out of Date?

Other Reasons

As of today the original link no longer works, and it never mentioned the X722, it stated that it was compatible with the X720 and the S1

We have no idea what version of TWRP it is based on, and it probably needs to be updated, its open source, MAYBE we can figure it out.

Check back next week and I will try to find a version that will definitely work with the X722.

What's the best way to install Google Play on the locked Chinese ROM?

I see some tutorials referring to a "Google Installer" but if possible I'd prefer not to use this as it looks a bit dodgy to me.

I've tried installing Google Play Services and Google Play Store from APKMirror but the Play Store is not opening.

Specifically I installed

Google Play Services 12.8.78 for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a

Google Play Store 11.4.15

1. Download Google Installer apk from: here

2. run the app and install every thing it asks

3. go to permissions manager and give every google app (sync, services, etc.) every permission

4. allow auto start for every google app (sync, services, etc.)

5. Run google play, let it update it self and its play services

6. enjoy

Open Chinese app store and search for: Google Play store and scroll to find it.

It will install all necessary files and you will need to reboot before all errors stop.

Reason to Use China Rom on Mi Max 3

Can somebody pls tell me if it's worth getting the china rom and staying on it, and just side installing the google apps?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Steelrock:
I have noticed that some things do not work so well when you sideload google services on china rom.

Sync contacts do not work, UI is full of chinese characters, some chinese application services work in the background and can not be shut down...

Overall it's not bad, but i would definitely install the global version as soon as it goes out.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] inspiron2:
Contact sync works for me. You need to go into the Contact Manager app entry in Installed apps and enable all permissions for it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] shoukanju:
Contact Sync and Calendar Sync never worked for me no matter what I tried....

Until I factory reset the phone and started from scratch...

Factory reset --> Google Installer from Mi Apps --> Google Login --> Sync --> GApp Permissions --> Reboot --> Sync

Things I did differently from before, not sure of they contributed to the success:

1) I factory reset and setup new phone with sim card in the device (previously had not yet changed mine to a nano sim)

2) Disabled Google's 2 Step Authentication during initial setup and sync (will turn them back on once everything works)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sam213:
Hi guys

Actually I use a galaxy note 8 but in September. I need to change it because expire the rent signature.

So, I'm looking for a new smartphone.. And the 2 smartphone that I found are note. 9 or p20. Pro..

It's true that are 2 different product.. And the p20 has not the spen.. But I don't use the s pen top much..for work I started to use a iPad with the apple pencil and I think is better for my use.. The display is bigger than a smartphone display...

So, if I forget the spen functionality.. What is your suggestion? P20 is cheaper (not too much) and his camera is better.

Otherwise, I'm started to use galaxy series or note series 8 years ago, the first one was galaxy s1.... Actually the UI for me is easy to use...I'm scared I loose some function with the p20..

Can you give me your consideration?

Thanks

Sam
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bonerp:
this is like asking in the huawei forum whether the note 9 is better...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sam213:
Yes I know.. But if someone need to compare this 2 device, where must ask the question?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AB__CD:
If you're used to the Samsung UI, the Huawei EMUI will definitely be quite different. Especially in terms of how it handles battery management and memory optimization, as well as maybe the lock screen notifications. My friend does have a P20 Pro while I use the Note 9, having switched from the S8.

I will tell you right away, if you want better battery life get the P20 Pro.

If you want the better camera, it's honestly a toss-up. In true real world experience, the P20 Pro's camera is not quite the home run critics make it out to be, there were some scenes where even my year old Galaxy S8 could beat the P20 Pro.

If you want the better display there's no question about it get the Galaxy Note 9 it's not only bigger it doesn't have a notch and well it's a Samsung OLED display enough said.

The real question of the Galaxy Note 9 is, how much are you willing to pay for the S Pen, and Samsung's slightly less offensive software. My advice is try to shop around for a P20 pro deal, as it's been out for a while now. If you can get it for significantly less than the Note, buy that. If the prices are within $100 of each other, get the Note. If you can wait, wait for the Mate 20 to release and see how that looks; even if you don't like it, both the Note and the P20 are bound to be cheaper by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
Oddly enough, the battery test videos show the Note 9 quite superior to the P20. Not sure what is better because I don't buy off brand phones so I have no experience with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] illetyus:
Lol, P20 Pro's camera is not better. It just has more lenses. If you DO like taking black and white pictures, go for Huawei. If you like functionality, SAME CAMERA PERFORMANCE, S-pen and overall performance, go for samsung. I used to have Iphone 8+, now i own Note 9. I dont feel any different in terms of performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Popmonty:
I just sold my p20 pro that I've had for two months, my note 9 is coming tomorrow so I can't compare the two (I did have the note 8 and s9 for a while though) but I can tell you some things about the p20.

The camera has been advertised extremely well, and it is great in low light BUT in real world point and shoot situations it's trash in my opinion. I haven't taken one photo on it that I like, all the photos I have taken on auto are over processed and over sharpened. Any Samsung phone I've ever used has always had a fantastic point and shoot camera.

The EMUI no matter what anyone tells you is clunky and just not enjoyable to use. I feel like the new and improved Samsung experience UI is really smooth and easy to use in comparison. I'm aware you can use launchers and stuff but I prefer to keep the stock launcher.

Although the p20 is advertised as having a 4000mah battery I haven't had a great experience with it. This differs from person to person and usage but I really can't get a full day out of it.

I know it might seem like I'm bashing the phone I have enjoyed some aspects of it, but my note 9 is coming tomorrow and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sam213:
Thanks a lot guys for your really apprecied feedback!

I read your opinion and I thin, again, that my new smartphone will. Be again a note!

Sure, I think the difference respect the note 8 will be not so much, but as I explained, in September expire the relationship with my carrier and I must change the smartphone, and buy a note 8 is not convenient.

Actually in italy the street price of the p20 pro is 700 euroin European version, online.. The Italian versione is slightly expensive, approx 800 euros..

The note 9 will sold 1029 euro, so the difference is 250/350euro,but I can subscribe, is a newest in italy, a subscription with Samsung. I can pay monthly the device for 24 months, with 99 euro of first payment, and obtain a note 9.afyerthis period, I can pay approx 300 euros and the device will be mine, otherwise, I can replace it with a new one..

At the end, I will pay more than 1029 euros but for 24 yeast I have a protection against damage included, and is not a bad things..

P20 pro has not this option, in italy is sold or as a usual with carrier or I must pay it 100%.

About ghe performance...i really stress my smartphone.. I use it for job, I take note during some. Meeting, I use it via chrome cast to watch movies by Netflix or similar, and the integrated dex station function can be a good features (but also the p20 has. This option)

I use also it with camera, because I have 2 children and is always a good. Thing have in my hand a good camere to capture the nice moment of the day.. And this is a good point.. I was sure that the people like the p20 pro camera. Much more than the other. Camera phone, but your real feedback explain a different situation.. I'm not a professional camera man, I need a best camera with automatic setting for this moment, and if you are agree that also the note 9 can be better, this is another good point for note 9.

Finally... The UI powered by Samsung is without secrets for me after a lot of years.. Also, last but not least, when I configure the new device automatically I found saved wifi Hotspot, password and other small information that help me during my Business, and I reduce the stress to replace a new device

Th AK a lot again guys for your explanation.

Ot: somebody with the note 9 can give me a feedback about dex application, in particular for Netflix and autocad application? I think can be 2 real interesting application respect surfing on internet or other solutions

If you ask me, wait a little bit for a mate 20 (pro) and than make finall decision. Last year i had note 8 and mate 10 pro after it and huawei was better for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Popmonty:
In what ways if you don't mind me asking? I got my note 9 this morning and I am so happy I don't have to use the p20 pro anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Proday:
[MENTION=9397521]Popmonty[/MENTION] battery capacity (sot +40%) and flat screen at start (this rounded screen are totaly pointless for me, expecially on a note series where 10% on screen is useless with pen)! Than, mate 10 pro had stereo sound (note 8 not), much faster (and better positioned) fingerprint, 128gb etc.

On a note 8 side was wireless charging and 3.5mm.

Now in note 9 a lot of things are improved; stereo sound (but still mono for notification except whatsupp app), 128gb base memory, bigger screen and 4000mAh...but who knows what new mate will bring near new kirin 980 and wireless charging. I would wait 2 more months if there is possibility...if nothing, note 9 will be much cheaper in 2 months ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] w2830:
P20 pro still uses bluetooth 4.2 while others started with 5.0 like last year? It doesn't matter if I need it or not. For a flagship price it needs to provide flagship specs. Huawei has been known for this kind of **** behind the scene. Who knows what else has been cheaped out on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sam213:
Regarding the mate 20 pro... It was also for me a good option.. But I need to finalize the order max in the first week of October because I have to finalize the contract signed with phone operator.. I must return the note 8 otherwise I have to pay another year.. But the cost is similar to buy another one new phone so I will return it.

For this reason I think is not an option for me wait the new mate 20 pro.

Regarding the performance of p20... There are 2 important thing that are not installed in this device.. The 3.5 jack and And the wireless charging... For my personal use the first one is good because in the night in some case I use wired earphone too watch some movies in my bed when my wife sleep.. Are comfortable and I don't want rememberto charge a Bluetooth earphone.. I have the gear icon x of Samsung and I use this only for fitness... And a lot of case are discharge.

The wireless charge instead is good because I have in my office the wireless stand and is confortante charge my mobile while I'm in the office..

Sincerely, I don't know why in the p20 pro there is not at least this option... In fact I read will be integrated with the new mate 20
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dieselhazza:
I would definitely recommend for you to wait and see what the Mate 20 Pro will offer. I am expecting a fairly good phone from Huawei. They have made a few videos targeting the Note 9 so I'm guessed they have something up their sleeves. Also it will have a bigger battery than the Note 9 and also a more efficient SOC being the new Kirin 980 developed on a new 7mn architecture
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elmor0:
Only (huge) problem from my POV is that Huawei does not allow unlocking of Bootloaders anymore - so cannot Root or install custom ROMs on Huawei devices - I hope this changes soon.

This factor alone tips it towards the Note 9 for me. Now patiently waiting for a decent price drop - hopefully by November/ holiday period.
