I bought the same one back in April when they were $399 and Alexa was just an app that I uninstalled, so it's not resident in the system partition.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
I have halo grey and I simply uninstalled it. I did a full sideload of Pie and it came back which was weird but I uninstalled it a again. That alexa is such a **** .
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ultrasuper:
Did you use the "Full Dump" (i.e., the >`GB one)? or the smaller ~54MB Pie image?

If the latter then it makes sense that it'd come back since there's something elsewhere in the system that directs a fresh start to install the app

I assume using the Full Dump would overwrite all that and it'd be gone forever.

Just my assumption tho
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
I used the full since I rooted beta 3 and couldn't take the OTA. Thats why I said it was weird .
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ultrasuper:
Wow. Agree.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ctjailer:
You can get the ESSENTIAL 360 Camera for $49.00 + shipping at the manufacturer's website (essential.com) under the accessories tab.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
It was $19 last month and I bought one.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Sammobile has posted a number of regional T700 firmwares in the recent few weeks. The firmware patch level is from summer 2017, but it was built this summer. Bizarre, isn't it? Very un-samsung-like to release an update to four year old tablet. However, if they do release an update why not use the most recent Marshmallow AOSP codebase (I believe from r81 from October 2017) instead of summer of 2017?

Anyways, if this is not a hoax, I hope the T800 version would be coming some time as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] E--Man:
Please see my thread XDA below - I thought I saw something a couple of weeks ago for my T805W but I am rooted so I can't check from my tablet. Perhaps someone who is not rooted can check.

I got my T800 Updated this morning. It was a France model and the version of the update is T800XXU1CRH1 dated august 2018 with august 2017 security.

The update says it was for the european GDPR law. So maybe just the euro models will be updated.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Macs75:
Got the update too. Confirm it says it is for GDPR. A whole update only for this? OK the security update is there, but they never bothered to keep it updated in that sense
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Oh, that's disappointing. This means that these updates won't extend beyond Europe. Sammobile shows now that there is also an update for T800 (France only so far). I guess Samsung won't do a real miracle for our tablets, as in providing an up to date security patch level.
[Galaxy Tab S General] maris__:
A new firmware was now also published for the T705 (TGY = Hongkong):

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T705

Best, maris
[Galaxy Tab S General] markmessier8888:
Thx for the info..the update is still on 6.0

Anyone know if its worth upgrading to and the noticable benefits? Thx
[Galaxy Tab S General] maris__:
I have upgraded with the new TGY firmware. Security patch level is still February 2017, and I cannot see any visible changes. So I cannot report any noticable benefits yet.

Best, maris
[Galaxy Tab S General] cuaran89:
Hi Akopps,

Hope everything is going well.

I wonder, Would you mind to upload your firmware for T800, I am looking for it and no luck?

Thanks a lot

[Galaxy Tab S General] dark-byte:
Just got a prompt for an update on my 5 year Samsung sm-t800 in th UK. Its 253mb and I guess there is no improvement just a load of help files and data protection warnings in the os I guess. Does anyone know what is exactly in it..?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
Heard a very strange 'ding' from my T800 (U.S WiFi only model) just now, and sure enough a new software update window was on the screen. At first I was thinking it was a 'fake' splash page since I had Chrome open, but alas it was not.

Firmware T800XAR1CRI5 [MENTION=4328568]14.[/MENTION]89MB.

Their last update was over a year and a half ago for this tablet, and it seems they are releasing an patch every year or so. (v6.01 09/2016, then patch 6.01 4/2017, and now patch 6.01 11/2018). So this original Tab S 10.5 is almost 5 years old and still getting security patches each year.

Also, I'm a bit baffled since I had 'Scheduled Software Updates' set to 'Off' and it still got it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
According to Sammobile, the Security Patch level of this firmware is only 2016-11-01. So, either this update is for something other than security patches, or Samsung does not report the patch level correctly. If the patch level is truly only at 2016-11-01 level, then this update does not address some of the famous security problems from recent times, such as the KRACK or Spectre. So I won't be pulling this firmware because my ROM is already modified, but I might use the new ROM if I decide to start from fresh setup.
[Galaxy Tab S General] amateurhack:
Just got a notification for the US version on t-700. I'll flash in the morning. If I notice anything meaningful, I'll report back here.
[Galaxy Tab S General] amateurhack:
Before and after, for your comparison. Kernel was updated, and SE as well. I'm guessing patching vulnerabilities there.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bjb2:
Even worse for me, it installed itself without my permission overnight without even a prompt. I don't have updates on just like you.

I notice the kernel version has a new date but is exactly the same version and build.

Seems strange that Samsung would push an update to such an old tablet. Hopefully they aren't trying to drum up sales for the S4 by breaking something. :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] jamesc23:
Hi All,

I've been having this random issues with my radio signal since pretty much day one with Mi6. I've many custom ROMs as well as official ones and found that the issue is still there. Some ROMs are worse than others but the best ROM I found so far was Mi6 Global v9.5.6.0. The issues I have is outlined below:

1. If I'm on 5GHz WiFi I random constant random disconnections

2. Sometimes radio signal stops working completely and I have to reboot the phone when on 5GHz WiFi

3. Random disconnections are more manageable when I'm on 2.4 GHz WiFi

I've just moved to LOS 15.1 and I'm still getting random disconnections when I'm on 5GHz. So far 2.4GHz has been stable.

Has anyone experienced this issue with Mi6? I don't think the issue is related to hardware as I have had a stable 5GHz on Remix but that ROM is horrible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thrash magazine:
Hello all. I am a newbie, exciting as that sounds! Anyways, this is my out cry, possibly to some of the major contributors (if possible), maybe even some of the ROM developers out their. My goal is simple...making your life easier, and less stressful with us newbies.

Anyways, here is what I would like to contribute to the forum. I would like to write up a Wiki of free software, and how to install and so forth for XDA-Developers. I would gladly take control of this, link to the downloads and so forth, but would like some help from the seniors here, since I don't really know a ton about this stuff. However, from what I see here (daily for about 4 months) is that generally, the major issues are finding software and what it actually does, and I think this could help a ton! Let me know through PM or this thread if you are interested in helping me out, as well as helping a lot of people out, I would think. I do know the current Wiki does provide a tools review section, but I think a general link location, title, version, release date and brief description page would be helpful.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liquidsilver:
Much of that work has already been done in the existing Kaiser Wiki. I'm sure that if you wanted to maintain a matrix of software, installation instructions, version numbers, etc. and keep it updated, the powers that be would consider it a worthwhile addition. As for links to the software, many (most?) are already on the Wiki.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
i think its a good idea but most of which are already on either the wiki's or stickies...as well as other threads in other sections...much of this wont be needed of people just searched and dig a bit deeper than one page of reading...a lot of answers are out there just need to search harder or refine the search :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thrash magazine:
I do live a lot by the wiki, I just find it to be a bit clumsy, since it is VERY overwhelming, especially from a new person stand point. I was thinking of a simple page, that listed the following, work in progress, let me know what others think first.

here's a good place to start:

this is linked from the hermes wiki, but most of the software will work on the kaiser too. try looking at the wikis of other devices, and also looking in the software subforum, you will get a good idea of wat ppl use on their kaisers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thrash magazine:
thanks that is very helpful. This is pretty much what I am looking to start/add to. Let me start working on some stuff and prototype it, also, if I could get some information from some developers, if you do work, and see this post, post me to your stuff, directly with some brief descriptions of it, so I can start looking at it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liquidsilver:
Don't forget to add classifications. I'd even go so far as to think of this as a searchable database or at least a spreadsheet that can managed as a filtered list. You're looking at dozens of apps to keep track of. From an admin standpoint you'll want to track the last date YOU updated the info as well.

I've done similar projects for companies....it's a pain to manage in a text file.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thrash magazine:
I like the spreadsheet idea, I think I already have to many other websites being worked on to add another DB to the picture :) I was also thinking about wiki'ing it as well, which probably would not look pretty in a spreadsheet, but who knows.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
Its an excellent idea. I agree with you that it is already available but not in the format you plan on doing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wyrm:
+1 for the idea; ideal for newcomers and/or folks who have been out of touch for a time.

As for those whe are saying that all this is already available in one form or another: very true, but when you have to dig through hundreds upon hundreds of threads then other hundreds of pages within the thread... Yes, searching, but you have to know what to search for. A vague idea of desired functionality helps, but what if you don't even know of something that could potentially be a life-line for you?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
you should probley put in screen shots too. Ya know to make it easier on everyone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] demented_goose:
This is an awesome idea. What i really hate is when someone posts a thread full of cabs but with no explanatation as to what they actually do. The worst i find is with all the HTC apps. page after page of "HTC camera", "HTC album", "HTC action screen", it isn't exactly easy to tell from the name what a lot of them do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
ok well we will see you when you're done and I'm sure that will be a couple of years.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SouthernLuke:
I definetly think screen shots would be nice. Sometimes form is just as necessary as function and I'd like to see what I'm going to be working with / not working with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dyetheskin:
spring cleaning

I say this site needs some spring cleaning since there's no many versions of this and that to the point it takes lots of time digging and finding whats best for everyone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Alex_:
This already exists. It's been linked in the wiki for ages. In the 'Downloads' section, there are links to external freeware pocketpc sites, which include descriptions and multiple screenshots per application.

Y'all just need to browse the wiki more often and when you find something, link it to the wiki, so it *CAN* be easily found in the future for others.

Hope this helps!

Is there any risk of lose the IMEI while flashing a retail ROM instead of a carrier-brand one?

Only one way to find out is to try it.. If it does, I'm sure if reflash a branded one, you would get it back..

Try skipping the modem firmware i.e NOH-HLOS , fsg , erase modemst1 and modemst2. And flash boot , recovery and system_sparsechunks. I have not personally tried this (bcoz already on retail rom) but may work as reported in Moto Z2 Play forum

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] skanskan:
What linux version could I install on my Mi8?

What method would be advisable?

In the past some people has installed Linux on their smartphones, but only some devices are compatible.

I would like to try Linux on my Mi8, it's powerful enough and that would let me use many advanced programs for science not available for Android.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Nailyouh:
Just use Linux Deploy(u need root rights). You can choose you district and install it. To access you would setup ssh in the settings. Then download a ssh client and connected to local host. All done
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] skanskan:
But I don't want to run linux virtualized on top of Android, I want to replace it completly.

There is also Ubuntu Touch.

Which one works better?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Nailyouh:
Well as Linux shares the kernel with android you have no performance lost when using Linux Deploy. Replacing the OS will not be possible.

(You can also try the integrated Framebuffer display...then you would have a linux desktop. Hook up a keyboard and a mouse and youre good to go)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] skanskan:
In fact it doesn't replace the whole kernel, just a small part of it. And most things on Android are run on a Java Virtual Machine.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Nailyouh:
Do you have an example? Like a device where it is running like you described?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
Hello All!

Well like everyone, I want a nice phone, but of course being the Geek that I am, I love to hack and tinker on phones.

I've been really researching and reading around online, still in search of that Modders Dream phone, and will all the choices out there, it's just not easy figuring out, at least I'm still looking. Problem is, all the latest cool phones that have recently come out in 2018, like anything, development will take time.

So I'm trying to figure out which phone(s) might be a good choice to go with. As some may of read, OnePlus donated some 6 phones for free to XDA developers, that certainly made that phone look promising for the future, but the cost of the 6 is a little over my budget.

So, with all this said, I currently have a Mi A1, and the development seems like it's been really good on that phone, which makes me think that Xiaomi phones seem to be popular with development, at least I hope the Mi 8 will have just as much development going on as the Mi A1, or better.

What does the future hold for this phone, any thoughts on this?

Hmm

Thanks

i think when Xiaomi releases kernel source codes for our beloved mi8 some roms will pop up for sure be patient and wait dude [emoji23]

Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I'm patient, that's not the problem, I guess it's to early to tell how the development will be. I assumed if the Mi A1 was as good as it is, then this should be better, but that's a cheaper phone, easier for people to get, therefore more development, more expensive phone, less people can afford, less development...

hmm
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Superbia:
Honestly, I think the best "tinker" phone right now is the Oneplus 5t. Solid hardware and a very big selection of roms and mods. Xiaomi phones tends to be good also, but you need to wait a year or two before it really picks up.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I have an Mi A1 and it's great, so it made me think to get another Xiaomi, but then I really had my eyes on the OnePlus....

To many bloody choices... LOL

There are many ROMs.

Mi 8 is treble able.

Easy to use.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ZhenMing:
there was an instant of Mi8SE kernel source was released for 2 months+, but there wasn't any development for custom ROM so far.

Of coz it might really means the establishment for this phone wasn't wide enough and the population wasn't there, due to the price. These contributed to late or lack of ROM development.

It also could due to there are many new development in the android world such as Android Treble and Android Pie which is more fun and trendy for the moment.

So, the wait will really had to be a bit longer then usual.

But what is the usual?

That will be the primary question now.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
Many ROMS, I think you need to go have another look again, the phone was only released 3 months ago.

[MENTION=857591]ZhenMing[/MENTION] not the SE, that's a SD710, I'm talking the 8 SD845.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ZhenMing:
Yes. I'm aware we are talking about Mi 8 which running on SD 845.

What I referencing is Mi8SE had not had any development even they had the kernel source released 2 months before.

However, I wish I'm wrong on this and had custom ROM development as soon as the kernel source released.

I wanted one essential phone for a long time, but I need dual sim and don't really want to bother with bluetooth adapters so skipped that one. Have a OP6 and MI8 now. Like the MI8 more but a bit bummed I can't get custom recovery to work flashed so have to fastboot the recovery each time there is an update.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] NielsvdS:
We have to wait for the kernel source from the Mi8 to get the best experience out of custom roms.

We got treble, but not everything is working well with Treble roms.

Hope Xiaomi will release the source shortly
