[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Rumor has it , if the panel is cut from the center area during production then it will be the most even looking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
Haven't heard that before. How would that explain Samsung's LCDs that have unevenness or slight brownish or yellow tint. Does Samsung make big substates for OLEDS or are they one or two screen wide? Have any good links? Using silicon from the middle is usually best for binning CPU and GPUs for over and under volting and temps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Like I said, it was a rumor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
Note 9 owners, can you stand on one foot, facing West at 7:19pm, while holding the phone at 72 degree angle whilst wearing spectacles and open a picture of a Dorito? Is the chip the same hue of orange at the top and at the bottom? Is there a difference? :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
Should I hold it in portrait or landscape? I'm confused. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cavags5:
After get the note 9 I noticed some bad screen quality, as I always do a lot of tests, I notice the screen is a rose burn, compared to the previous.

After a week compared with a new one, and change it,.

my note 8 already went to warranty to put a new screen because was burn red with 10months.

I went to Samsung assistant store, speak with a technician and he said super amoled is vibrant and brighter but not last long, he said every phone with screen burn in the 2 years of the warranty, they change it right away.

After I compared my note 9 with s9plus side by side , and s9plus have more brightness and more white screen, I said how is this possible.

when is not many people complaining, they don't do anything.

Only if is red burn they change it.

Lets see how it cames the note 8.

What's red burn? Show some pictures .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dannejanne:
If your eyes are sensitive like mine you will pretty much never get an Oled with "perfect" screen as there is no such thing basically. I also have what you are describing and this is always my biggest fear with Amoled, the uneveness, but the Note 9 I have is so close to being "perfect" that it does not bother me at all. I've had screen that are way worse. Samsung has much worse uniformity issues in earelier models but these days most phones are pretty good but there will always be worse ones.

If I'm extremely picky, my left side is slightly warmer than the right in its white balance. And the bottom part of the screen is a tad brighter than the top. But all well within my own "tolerances" for what I can accept. In everyday use I don't notice it unless I'm _really_ looking for it. Which makes it a non issue for me. Back in the S7 Edge days I exchanged phones 4 times wihtout getting a good display and gave up.

Also, not everyone can see this stuff. So some people who say they don't have it at all probably has but don't notice it. I wish I were one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cavags5:
My friend I don't have any phone now to compare, and maybe in the photos is not noticeable.

in the store they change it because was difference.

if you have possibility to go to a store and compare with a s9plus, you will see what I'm saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KastrO_on:
Perfect Oled screen doesn't exist, at least not in smartphones. I saw 3 Lumia 950 XL, Note 8, Iphone X and now i have fourth Note 9. All of them had some kind of color shifting. Clearly visible on gray background in dark conditions. I'm keeping my last note 9 because it has the most uniform screen of previous devices.

Try to take picture of your screens and post it here. Here is dark gray background:

[Sony Xperia L] khimantha12:
I installed TWRP version "twrp-3.2.3-0-taoshan" as it was flickering I flashed again with "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan ". Now it's stuck in recovery logo screen and can't do anything because screen is flickering again.Please help. Any way to get into fastboot??
[Sony Xperia L] Kungfu73:
Please read this post for flashing twrp:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/help/how-to-install-twrp-xperia-l-running-t3659340

(note: if you used the adb command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" for flashing twrp, then the screen flickering is normal. just flash a Custom ROM (or dirty flash your current ROM) to fix the flickering.

and for going to fastboot, just power off your phone, then while pressing the volume up key, plug in the usb that is connected to the PC.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] narcotichobo:
Looking at this tablet and its exactly the size and specs I want, but can't find anything on actually rooting it and getting a custom recovery.

Does anyone have any experience with this tablet and know if such a thing is possible?
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] noamanahmed:
HI

I am also looking to root this tablet.All methods tried do not work on this tablet :(
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] joshuaedrake:
I thought the same thing. Figured for the price I could just get it and tinker. Ended up getting the Z8 and later Z8s. Neither of which have a working root solution, which is sad because there's not really anything comparable spec wise on the Android side. I had to get an iPad mini 4 with cellular and jailbreak it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bassbounce:
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.

Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.

Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.

We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

Maybe is better to enable english as default language, chinese is very difficult to parse and to find a way to set another language.

This build is different from [LR.Team] (wzsx150) TWRP-3.2.3-0806 Version, because this build use official MI 8 Kernel?

It works great with magisk 17.0 and with miui 10, always flash the img of Twrp after u flash global rom or Chinese rom just to be sure.

There is nothing to improve when it already works great.

If u like some mods in the recovery u can try to compile Redwolf recovery.

Is it supporting Miui encrytion?

I tried several times encrypting my phone with xiaomi.eu rom and recovery from [LR.Team] (wzsx150) but it fails all times and i need to restore my backup.

by the way, when does it goes official?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] achickennugget:
It disables DM Verity checker, which will replace any modified recovery with stock recovery upon boot up. It also prevents auto encryption, this prevents the ROM from auto encrypting the phone upon boot up.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] By.TRabZonLu™:
1- will this file be deleted when I open it?

2- Do I have to load it before I install rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zhu891108:
Can you integrate magisk 17.1 into advanced settings?

Because the official beta firmware will restore the twrp to stock recovery

but if we flash magisk together, the twrp will be kept.

[MENTION=4885833]zhu891108[/MENTION]

No sorry, i would like to keep this stock to provide the best user experience. There are several alternatives for this like Redwolf recovery has sereral mods inside it.

Just flash twrp in this order.

Fastboot boot Twrp.img

Flash the recovery img again inside twrp and reboot to recovery again and it will stay.

Also if u are new to twrp, format data in Twrp reboot to recovery again and flash this file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832238534 after that u can flash the rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] achickennugget:
1- What do you mean by deleted? Flash it using TWRP as you would a ROM.

2- Flash it after flashing MIUI as it modified the boot image to disable DM Verity (u need the boot image in the first place to modify it)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Adiyasa:
1. You must install twrp.

Download twrp And Install twrp with the command

"fastboot boot twrp.img" ( twrp.img = the name twrp.img)

After successfully, installing again twrp img Via twrp (so that twrp becomes permanent) And reboot Recovery. (It's in the reboot option)

After that. format data and type "yes" .Then reboot to recovery again.

If it is already. You just have to install https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832238534

Then install Magisk Reboot to system.

(install first Dm verity Before Magisk.)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Adiyasa:
1. If you want to install magisk

2. Only when you first install. That's what is said on the first page. I only explained in more detail. I've tried and succeeded. . So far the only way that works

What version of Flash DM-Verity Disabler by zptg? not all go ok
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] achickennugget:
You have to do this for the setup initially. Hence why you must format data the first time to prevent encryption. When the phone is encrypted, DM Verity cannot read the boot file and hence cannot repackage it. When your phone is encrypted, apart from ROM update, you more or less cannot flash many modifications including magisk, unless you can decrypt it in the recovery. Do correct me if I am wrong!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mnizarm:
Thanks so much that's very clear for me, just one more question, after format data, do I need to flash the ROM again?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Adiyasa:
after format data. you must reboot to recovery So you can copy files to your phone. (if you don't have OTG) and flash dm-verity Continue with flash Magisk. Done.

Now when i update through OTA, what do i have to do?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] achickennugget:

In short, I don't require 'disable dm verity' and enjoying the Magisk with userdata encrypted. (safe and easy)

Share my experience:

I was in old revision with Magisk worked (1st pic)

View attachment 4592034

An OTA was pending for a long time.

Yesterday night I decided to flash the MIUI OTA pkg.

After flash rom/Magisk/disable dm verity in TWRP, I met boot loop and boot pending.

I tried everything and finally I erased all data an reflash with MIUI 9.6.4.0, which is downloaded here.

Magisk/disable dm verity were also flashed.

I reboot system and was in 9.6.4.0 with Magisk worked.

Then I got 9.6.7.0 OTA and I used the MIUI OTA updater : it rebooted in stock recovery and flash OTA and reboot system.

Then I got 9.6.7.0 with Magisk installed but disabled (2nd pic)

View attachment 4592035

Then I fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3.0.-dipper.img , I saw the decryption pattern required in TWRP! This means TWRP and decrypt the userdata.

I flash Magisk-v17.1(17100).zip and reboot system.

Now I got 9.6.7.0 with Magisk installed and works with dm-verity unchecked (3nd pic)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Agimax:
Do you have the Global or Chinese versions phone? If you are flashing a Global ROM on a Global phone, i would think it makes sense to work. Now flashing a Global ROM on a Chinese version phone and not needing DM Verity using a Global factory update and letting it encrypt your phone and put a factory recovery on -well that would be great if it works, but it would sound too good to be true without a brick.....
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] agudoe2:
I have a Global version phone and flash Global ROM.

This means I can stay in the stock recovery and use the default OTA flow.

After that, I can reflash Magisk with fastboot boot TWRP 3.2.3.0 temply.

Too good to be true.

I will come here and keep update when next OTA's available. Maybe 1 month later..

Hi,

I've got a question regarding the installation of TWRP. My previous phone was a OnePlus One and I used TWRP since the beginning. Now I've read the first post and it mensions this:

Fastboot Flashing Code

Fastboot boot Twrp.img
Flash the recovery img again inside twrp and reboot to recovery again and it will stay.

If u are new to twrp, format data in twrp and reboot to recovery again and flash this file [url]https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832238534[/url] after that u can flash the rom.

If u have already twrp installed, just flash the img in twrp

The thing that looks new to me is: If u are new to twrp, format data in twrp and reboot to recovery again and flash this file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832238534 after that u can flash the rom.

So if it's the first time that TRWP is installed on the Mi8, I have to format data en flash the linked file? I like the verify this, since I cannot remember I had to do the same for my OnePlus?

Could you also tell me if flashing the Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1 a one-time required action and what this exactly does?

Edit: I have found an explanation about what the Disable DM-Verity does: http://en.miui.com/thread-310923-1-1.html
