Hi [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION],

unfortunately there is no attachable keyboard cover for the S9 yet like there was/is for the S8. I know the camera and fingerprint scanner are different. But would it work (or did someone maybe know someone) who actually tried it and modified the keyboard cover so it works with the S9...

Kind regards

A.

Samsung EJ-CG950BBEGDE Keyboard Cover
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] eske.rahn:
Would be interesting to know.

Remember that the cover-part has a (nfc?) chip and a magnet (near the power key). And also the keyboard part has a tiny magnet in the lower left.

I took one for the S6 Edge apart, and I can see that the S8 is quite similar. See

this

So it is NOT just a matter of cutting a larger hole in the cover, the phablet has to be prepared for it with the suitable strategically placed magnetic sensors to detect that it is there.

For fun I have tried to use some of the non S8-variants on the S8, and could get an S8 back to react with the print part from the S6 Edge.

I also tried some of the other backs, but could not get them to work with the S8 (not even with the S8 keyboard)

But as it seems they have stopped production for Note 8 and S8, I think they unfortunately are abandoning the whole idea, so we should be damn lucky if the S9 got the correct sensors AND even in the same place as on S8

ADD:

Just had a look at the ifixit tear downs of the S8- and S9-, and it does not look promising for a total fit....

On the S8, the magnet at the back has its centre approximately 32mm from the top, and 10mm from the power-switch side.

So if I can measure correctly, the magnetic switch must be the tiny little component mounted north of the square chip with "C3 559 X791" (north of the orange square) here, but the S9 got no chip at that location AFAICS from this.

BUT

the S9 does have a similar looking component closer to the vibrator, so it MIGHT be prepared for a cover...

The magnet on the key-part is about 16mm from the bottom and 13mm from the volume rocker side. Just north of the tip of the 3.5mm plug. And there IS a similar small component on the other side of the small print on both the S8- and S9-...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] eske.rahn:
ADD II

Apart from the above add, note that surprisingly the keyboard with an S8 ALSO works both in Aeroplane mode and with NFC turned off, so the communication with the case must be a dedicated circuitry.

So that has to be there for the S9 too...

ADD: I just verified that the chip is on a small plate, and thus NOT with any antenna in the back plate (updated blog post linked above), so it SHOULD be possible to move that to another location, if the circuitry is placed elsewhere on the S9-
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] alh84001:
I just tried the s8 keyboard and I could put it on my s9 (snapdragon). It was a very tight and unstable fit, but when I did get it to click the phone recognized it and resized the screen accordingly. Unfortunately the keyboard below wasnt alugned with the buttons, and there was mostly no response. When it did respond I got a key registered from the row below and to the side, e.g. when pressing 't' it would sometimes register as 'f'. Any ideas on how to get this to work properly?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] eske.rahn:
Very interesting that it works that much! Thanks for the info! This at the least proves that the a S9 was designed for a keyboard.

To bad about the slight misalignment though. Do you see the same displacement in all columns? I mean does a W also give an A, and a P an L? (when it does anything)

You COULD try to take the print out and see if a slight move would fix it. But there is no guarantee, as they could have changed the spacing in either direction too (perhaps squeezed in an extra column)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Mr KOP:
Why SamSung doesn't make for S9? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] cmdfidel:
However, the Samsung Keyboard app, which is responsible for software support of the cover keyboard, does not have a separate kb-cover's layout for the S9 device. This app has layouts for S6, S7, S8, etc. Note 8 is the latest model supported.

Keyboard cover working in exactly the same way as the smart covers. The chip on the back of the case tells the phone the accessory ID, and the magnet on the front signals about the event - the keyboard is connected or the smart cover is closed.

This means that any Samsung smartphone that has version 3 of the Samsung Keyboard app (versions 4 and 5 no longer support cover keyboards) and can detect Samsung accessories, will work with cover keyboards, even those intended for older models. The only problem is shape of the case, I mean geometrical parameters.

1) You connect the keyboard

2) The phone recognize it via back chip + magnet

3) Samsung Keyboard app began to receive signals from it and process them

So no, most likely S9 was not designed for the separate keyboard, but this phone supports keyboard covers from older models.

I have several cover keyboards for S6, S7, S8. I'm thinking of adapting one of them for Note 8 (because it's impossible to find an official overlay keyboard for it!) or another Samsung phone, such as S9 + or Note 9, for which such an accessory was not released at all. Here is my plan:

1) Take a standard protective back cover, glue the chip from the old keyboard cover to it, cut two grooves to snap the front piece with keyboard into place.

2) (most difficult part for me) Design and 3D print a new front part of the keyboard case. Extract the keyboard module and magnet from the old keyboard cover, and fit it into the 3D printed front part.

3) Modify and rebuild the Samsung Keyboard APK to change the XML layout in order to match it the physical layout of the buttons. I may need to get root access to install a modified application, or I may not - IDK, need to try.

I think this should work. At least it looks like it should work.

Unfortunately, I don't have much time for this activity, so I don't know when I'll do it. But maybe it will help someone in his research. Good luck!

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Vilo7:
Hello! i have a question regarding the shutter speed of my oneplus 5. No matter whatever app i use or custom rom i flash, i cant set or control the shutter speed, neither with stock camera. Even if i set the shutter to 30 seconds the camera will take the pic in about 2/3 seconds max. I used to shot very cool pics at night with my Op3 (with resurrection remix) by controlling the shutter speed and when i bought this phone i thought i could have even done them better. Also the google camera by arnova doesnt work really good: a pink tint fully cover my pic taken with hdr+ activated. I guess this is normal because there is also the option to remove it but as the pink tint is gone a new black tint comes to cover the corners of the pics and the result is pretty weird, photos are so unreal. Anyone have any idea what's going on? i tried it all but i still have this issue, my priority is the shutter speed by the way

When rebooted to recovery, format /data, then do wipe /data /cache /dalvik, put ROM, Magisk and OpenGapps zips to internal storage

FOLLOW NEXT STEPS AS THEY ARE DESCRIBED HERE, IT`S VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Flash ROM (universal for both F8331 and F8332) and DualSim patch if you`re using F8332 (head to F8332 folder)

Flash Magisk

Flash Gapps

When finished, reboot to system as TWRP suggests you. Phone will reboot twice, it`s OK, after second reboot it will start to boot to system

Bugs:​

[*]Notification light

Night light

(can`t be fixed)

Official TWRP can`t mount /data (TWRP`s issue, wait for update, or use AdrianDC`s one)

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] petterros:
Just flashed fresh (after full wipe) 24/09 rom for f8332 and it works very nice but I am unable to read secondary sim card. It shows me empty slot message. I have flashed dual sim path but still nothing.

Also when I connect my phone to a computer I can not select any option than "only charge this device" because everything is grey. Beceuse of that, not data transfer is possible via USB.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MotexT:
I'll take look at it, thx for feedback

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] StaticGTF:
Hi

Thanks again to Motext för working on this ROM. You've been doing an utstanding job with it!

For now I've gone back to Existenz, as thee were some issues I couldn't get past. I blame it on myself for not having enough time to get stuff working properly.

I will keep an eye out for the development here in any case, and will probably return to Pie sooner rather than later.

Cheers!

increase your dpi value to fix that set it tot 420 dpi
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ryandxter:
crap! thx man! I've already tried change dpi but without restart (inside developer mode) :eek: *duh* now I'm realised that one thing I'm forgot is change dpi then restart phone
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Be_Cruel.:
Change DPI for 400+ and its going to be fine
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MotexT:
380 is good.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] niaboc79:
This bug is present in all aosp rom. The whole panel is misaligned, hour and network icons also.

But I've found a fix,

Download VolumePie on play store, install it a'd activate accessibility service.

Then set smaller screen dpi in development settings for example 374dpi

Reboot then set dpi to default in display settings and turn accessibility off for VolumePie.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] niaboc79:
Could you set pixel blue color instead of green on next build ?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MotexT:
With pleasure, just tell me how - i`m kinda noob in customization lol :D
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] niaboc79:
All colors are defined in framework-res.apk

Inside res/values/colors

There must be the right hex values somewhere on github.

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amosha97:
Yes true, changing icons/color of notification panel is in the firmware-res apk, also thank you guy for the dpi tip i mentioned many times that my icons in the notification panel were a bit off but no one told me about this, now I set it at 380 it's much better/no app needed only developer options ?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Insateofart:
I followed all description and success to boot

but the magisk manager only shows me the magisk logo.

I can not manage su rights.

Any solutions?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amosha97:
Have you tried reflashing it?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Insateofart:
yes
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amosha97:
Weird this happened to me alot even with other roms and normally a reflash fix it, sorry idk in this case.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amosha97:
I think i found something regarding the speakers problem, it's gonna sound stupid but try it out you won't lose anything,play a song so you can notice if the top speaker is working or not, if you have the problem , then sound will come only from the bottom speaker , as the song playing go to sound settings and then you have 4 volume bars for media, in-call volume, ring tone.... Etc now move the in-call volume bar, you'll notice a cut in the song, it's like you paused the song and immediately resumed it and that's when the top speaker will work, that's what i did and mine works now , however upon restarting the device the problem will be back but doing the same thing again will fix it, i just tried multiple times it worked every time, so try it out who knows!
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Insateofart:
I re - reflash it but the problem occurs again
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amosha97:
You see the thing is for me and everyone here when we flashed the rom magisk was not there, basically no app icon in the app drawer or anywhere so we had to download the apk and install it manually, did that happen with you or was magisk already there when you booted the 1st time?

And since no one replied to you with a fix, that leaves you with no other option but to try again or leave the rom for now, if i was in this situation here's what I'd do,flash magisk version 17.1,boot the device, open your browser and download latest magisk manager apk that's version 6.0.0(147) and install it even if it was already installed, if still didn't work, I'd start from 0 a completely clean install for the rom, from flashing the oem and AdrianDC twrp (link in page 7)not the official twrp as it works better with this rom.
