You'll have to donate to enable them. Scroll to the bottom and you'll see an option to donate.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I've updated the app. This will bring back the root including other improvements. See change logs for more details.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
[MENTION=4332042]Yamaha-252[/MENTION] You'll have to donate to enable those options. I apologize for the confusion, I've updated the app with helpful message to clear the confusion. . I'll really appreciate if you update the review accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
[MENTION=9527732]Lycanwat[/MENTION] Hey mate, I'll really appreciate if you could let me know what didn't work well in your device. I promise I'll work on a fix if only you could give me the details. At least please don't leave a negative review without letting me know first.

Install it from play store using this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dharmapoudel.samfix

Playstore gets more frequent updates anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
You'll you manage to make brightness work without the need of the addon? (I'm still on 1.13 version due to that limitation :) )
[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
Where to download the add on
[Android Apps and Games] tissot:
Allready got the answere
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I tried with the best of my knowledge but have to resort to addon as final option. Again addon is around 15kb with no extra bs which you can install, enable and hide right from the app. I'll send you the addon if you send me pm.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
PM me
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
[MENTION=6187519]MichailCZ[/MENTION] some options are disabled because they are available only after you support via support option. If you have paid already and it's not working please let me know. I'll work on to see what's causing it. If you can't support using XDA app please use this link to install from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dharmapoudel.samfix

So I have installed the latest version 1.16, gave permission via root, installed the addon, gave permission via adb, rebooted my phone, waited two minutes but I still get the max brightness warning. I'm more confused than ever
[Android Apps and Games] insta.zedd:
Hi.. i am on unrooted S8, before i give adb permission, i need to know if there is a way to revoke it or not.. Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
You can hide the addon after giving permissions. Now toggle the brightness from the SamFix.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Uninstall the app and you are done.
[Android Apps and Games] insta.zedd:
Thaks.. will be trying when i get home
[Android Apps and Games] Patrick9801:
That's what I did but I still get the message.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Tried multiple times? Reboot? Nothing worked?

Anyone else also having the issue with the brightness toggle?

Not sure what could be the issue. If you can send me the logs I'll take a look.
[Android Apps and Games] buddz__43:
Hi, I just installed the app and i like it.. just a suggestion.. is there any possibility that you can include a toggle to mute the shutter sound on the samsung camera?.. the latest update on my note 8 didnt include that option.. im using SM-950W.

Thank you in advance! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Thanks mate. I'll look into it, if I'm able to do it, I'll add it in coming updates.
[Android Apps and Games] insta.zedd:
Thank you for this simple yet great app.. Installed and works great.. Will pm you for the brightness addon. I unfortunately don't have any payment method to purshase it (or the full version) from Xda Labs.
[Android Apps and Games] buddz__43:
Hello again.. im just wondering.. is it possible to completely disable the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen?.. im currently using the One Hand Navigation + from Good Lock 2018 and im quite satisfied on it.. but its really annoying when sometimes the original bottom navigational bar always appear eventhough i hide it.. its keeps popping whenever i slide from the bottom of my phone..

thank you for your swift reply :good: :)
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
There is an overscan method to hide it completely. It has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Search here in XDA. If you can't find it let me know I'll send you link in the evening.
[Android Apps and Games] buddz__43:
can you give me the link?.. thank you :)

Hey mate, may I ask your device details? Also can you please send me logs? I would really appreciate your help.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Problem with brightness, still exists for me, too.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I am aware of it. I feel bad that I can't do anything at this moment. I am thinking about adding the toggle ability directly in the addon, so that addon can be a standalone app. Again this idea will work given the app worked for you before I added lots of options ( the initial version).

What do you think ?
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
You mean make the addon a standalone application just for brightness?

I think that most users (like me) have installed last version of this addon, so it will not be a problem if next version will have brightness toggle, too.
[Android Apps and Games] Patrick9801:
Sounds like a good idea!
[Android Apps and Games] berniesteven:
Brighteness works here, but I have to toggle it off and on after reboot or change themes.
[Android Apps and Games] fattieboombattie:
Just reading this. Everything I said is %100 spot on.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I'll work on it when I have time.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Hi, I can't find Samfix in play store, anymore.

Keeping in mind your previous responses and the fact that there is no attempt to solve brightness problem, is it the end of this project?
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
The app is just suspended at playstore citing policy violation.

Here is what google has to say:

"Issue: Violation of Device and Network Abuse policy and sections
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Here is the email from google if you guys want to go through. If you have any idea as to how to fix it let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
After granting permission via adb app just keeps crashing. (J510FN) It worked back in version 1.3 though.
[Android Apps and Games] berniesteven:
That sucks.
[Android Apps and Games] Jakob1379:
Hey there, I really like the idea of gray scaling my S9+, but something seems to not be working on my device. I get the menu about adb or root and when choosing root it force closes without the root dialogue and gives the error shown in the picture.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Use adb for now. I'll look into it and fix on next update.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I've updated the addon with ability to toggle brightness directly from the addon.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
[MENTION=7606324]Ragnar Eldur[/MENTION] update the addon and try toggling the brightness from there. If it doesn't work let me know, otherwise I would appreciate if you would update the ratings accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Did the latest update worked for you?
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
No, it didnt...

(I installed from beggining both main and addon from xda labs)
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I am wondering if it ever worked for you. What is your device again? If the very initial version of the SamFix had worked for you then this update must work since the underlying code is same.

If it never worked then I am afraid I don't know the solution as of now.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
As I noticed, after every reboot, brightness toggle in addon is in 'off' position.

When I put in 'on', then it works...

P.S.

Ofcource it did work in the begining. And previous version worked, but only after toggle on-off-on the main application toggle (after every restart).
[Android Apps and Games] Patrick9801:
That sucks... I wanted to update the addon to the latest version to toggle the brightness button but I can't open the app because I hid it. Then I wanted to uninstall it completely and install the app you sent me via pm and update it to the latest version without hiding it but now I can't install the addon anymore. The link you sent me via pm is broken, the apk is not there anymore, and I can't buy it in the XDA App because I have no PayPal... Now I have no addon.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I am aware of the reboot issue. Feel like its gonna take a while so I'm waiting for holidays.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
So, I guess having installed Samfix Addon is kinda useless at this point time?
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
But why? Do you reboot every other hour or so? Lol. Unless you do its just fine. I use the same app and as a user it doesn't bother me that much.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Could you please pm me version 1.3?

If I i'm correct, in this version brightness was working perfectly without the need for an extra add-on, accessibility services, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I don't think I have it. Again the reason to move away was to decouple and make whatever is possible to latest API compatible so that you have not just efficient but secure app.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
[MENTION=8153513]Gilfreitas[/MENTION] May I ask what is the issue that you are facing? I would gladly help.
[Android Apps and Games] cantavro:
How can I donate to enable all options? The support button in the app gives me error.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
At the moment there is no way to donate since google suspended play store version. I'm working on a solution. I'll update you once ready.
[Android Apps and Games] sumbeam:
Same here

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

I've just paid for the addon but I realized that it only fix the brightness issue :facepalm:

Could you update a premium paid app to xda labs store to get all the functions available? It would be a solution to the donation issue...
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Not sure that it'll work since the payement system would be different. ??
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
That's why reading is important. :D I'm thinking about using the addon you can get from play store to do the same.
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
After pressing root the app instantly closes and doesn't even ask for permission. Which log should I send Logcat or Magisk log?
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I am aware of the issue, and working on it right now. I'm going add proper solution that works across devices. Meanwhile I've released an alpha version on XDA without root for now but with other major improvements.

I'll update you once I have root solution ready.
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
Oh ok. On a side note I'm asking for the root because if I give permission via ADB or Terminal Emulator it just crashes. In 1.3-release it didn't even need any permission (root nor adb) and it worked
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
That's interesting, dunno how that was possible. In recent versions all I've done is to upgrade the api to use latest versions underlying codebase is same.
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
Btw my device is a SM-J510FN (J5 2016). I have tried on roms that are based on stock and it crashes and on a A530FN(A8 2018) ported rom.
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
Mhm.. it's an update available xda-labs say...

It's good to be updated I think..

I've done the update...

Now I must pay for what I have activated for free before...

Really?

Uninstalled... no thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Unfortunately, I paid for beta main and addon applications, without knowing that author was aware of existing problems inside his apps...

I just abandoned this project...
[Android Apps and Games] Patrick9801:
If Samfix Pro from Play Store is an addon then why is it more expensive than the addon from the xda app? And is there any difference between these two addons? And why do you want money when the brightness toggle isn't working for everyone anymore since ages? Sorry, but you can't request money if you're aware that not every feature of the app is fully working. That is just not fair. Please fix the problems and then I would pay for it but at this point I'm not willing to pay for an app that isn't fully working.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Just saw that there is a new app called SamFix Pro, in play store.

And the most ridiculous is that it asks for payment even from people that already have paid for previous version (beta) and for previous addon (beta).
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Just want to clear few things:

I've paid for the play store version already and it is now gone, why?

-- unfortunately google suspended the play store app citing policy violations, tried to appeal with no luck, I've updated that with email from google couple of posts back.

why should I pay again?

-- I don't intend to charge you agin. If you have already paid for the play store version send me your order id, I'll send you a code for the pro. You don't have to buy again.

this feature is not working for me but you are charging me the money?

-- as mentioned in app description "Not all features work on all devices", also as far as the addon is concerned I've sent more than 100 guys the brightness addon for free, and still doing.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Please check my last post as to why I have to use a pro addon from play store. Play store version is suspended by Google.

If you have already paid, please send me the play store order Id and I'll send you a code for the pro.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Hey jolas, the play store version is just a pro key, it's not full app. I've to resort to this since play store version is suspended by Google. If you have already paid for the previous version, please send me the play store order id and I'll send you the code for it.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Hey Patrick, the play store version is just a pro key, it's not full app. I've to resort to this since play store version is suspended by Google. Without the play store version of the app I don't have any option other than using a pro key which can be downloaded from play store. But since you have already paid for the previous version, please send me the play store order id and I'll send you the code for pro key.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Hey [MENTION=5561444]dharmapoudel[/MENTION], where did you mention before, that we are not obligated to pay again for samfix pro?

As for the brightness problem, what exactly did you clear about "Not all features work on all devices", as you replied that:

The true is that you started selling a beta version of SamFix, while a couple of time later you started to sell an other addon for the first application to everyone that wanted to make work it proper.

dharmapoudel, this is the true...

As for the order id, you'll find them bellow:

SamFix: (Google Play)

Order number: GPA.3341-2839-3860-54450

Order date: Oct 25, 2018 11:16:50 PM EEST

[Android Apps and Games] Patrick9801:
No, I haven't paid anything. I used Samfix + the addon you sent me via pm a while ago. But at the moment I have only Samfix from xda app but no addon. Long story but it doesn't matter why I don't have the addon anymore (file from download link is gone btw). A while ago I have sent you a pm but you didn't answer me so I'm asking you here again. Is it possible to send me version 1.9 from Samfix? That was the only version that worked for me without problems.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I still have to work on the reboot thing for brightness, I managed to make volume work after reboot which is available in current version (give me feedback) so I was going to tackle brightness next. Also may not work on all devices message is on app description from day one. Maybe I should have been more clear from the very beggining. My apologies for not doing so. Going forward I'll be more clear.

And let me figure out the promo code for play store app and I'll pm you.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I do not have copy of older version. I generate multiple builds everyday and delete them next day because of less storage available on my pc.

Also I won't make brightness addon available for free anymore. That's just unfair to all users who paid for it already and there are hundreds of them. However I can make exceptions if you have valid reasons like some users don't have paypal account etc., so let me know in pm.

I might have missed last time, I got more than 100 users asking for addon link. Sorry abt that.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I've pm'd you the promo code. The promotion starts Now 18th. Also I've updated the app description and highlighted to make it clear to all users.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Ok, but I'm not going to install SamFix for now.

I'll keep promo code for future use (when brightness problem with reboot toggle will be solved)
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Just so you know the promo code ends in a month. As far as why its taking long time to add new features, some features work fine on my S7 but not on my friend's note 8.

And here is my todo list in no particular order, no timeline and with absolutely no guarantee if they will ever make it to the app:
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
You are wrong my friend.

I'm not going to explain again what was my complaint, as long as developer seems to understood...
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
I'm getting that vibe lately. Comments are not that creative and certainly not focussed on the subject. I'm getting no value from these forums.

I'll probably stop checking this forum or close this altogether. Most users send me email directly anyway. Again NOT ALL FEATURES WILL WORK ON ALL DEVICES.
[Android Apps and Games] EdrickMG:
I love the app regardless please don't take it off for some Nah nah haters... Always will be whining
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
I can not accept those words because I NEVER asked for something for free.

I am ALWAYS pay for buying applications...

That was what I did for your application, since the begin, even if I didn't like that I had to pay it twice in some point time (for buying addon).

BUT, on the other hand, when I pay for some features, I want them to work, too...

It is on you if you're stop looking this forum or not. Either way or the other, you are the one who asked for support through this forum.

For me, this project is over...

[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
In case it's not working do the following:

- tap the support link on the SamFix Pro app (don't have to pay just let it open google play dialog)

-press home

- open SamFix app and tap the disabled items

Let me know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] berniesteven:
Please keep this thread open. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sumbeam:
Nope, still the same... It still says that I must activate Samfix in the Accessibility service...

:,(View attachment 4646943
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
"Activate samfix in accessibility" is just an informational message and have nothing to with the actual issue. I'll fix that in next update.

Also as far as the key is not working is concerned, since you already tried tapping the disabled items which triger license verification, at this point I can only say try reinstalling the key and repeat the steps again. For some users reinstall and repeat worked. If nothing works your best bet would be to get a refund for now until I figure out the issue. :(
[Android Apps and Games] sumbeam:
Paid again those 3,19€ but still the same...

Reinstalled the app, the Pro addon several times... Nothing worked!View attachment 4647120
[Android Apps and Games] sumbeam:
Edit: it worked at the third time!! But syncro don't toggle...

Edit: reenable accessibility and I can toggle, but the popup continues showing...
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
That's weird. Either all of them should work or none. There is no logic behind the scene to enable them separately. A reboot maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] sumbeam:
I rebooted the phone but this toggle still doesn't work...

Other ones work well.

[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
What's your device? Would you mind changing the language to English and try to see if it works. I'm thinking it might be because of the language. I'm pretty sure this can be fixed given I have access to this device.
[Android Apps and Games] dharmapoudel:
Using root to enable permissions is no longer available in latest updates since most users are complaining root is not working on their devices. It's not gonna hamper anything. I'll add it once I have a stable solution.
[Android Apps and Games] sumbeam:
You're right! It works if the language is set in English (UK).

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] mistororange:
Was running the pixel experience rom, have been for a month.. and I had a very strange issue today, the whole phone just froze, I force restarted it, and everytime It would reboot it would just hang/freeze or unlock and display nothing on my screen but the wallpaper.. ended up trying to restore from an old backup I had, but realized it was when I was running an oreo rom.. got stuck in a loop for fastboot, used twrp to re-install this rom, and it was taking forever to boot, at the G logo.. so stupidly instead of having patience and waiting, I rebooted and formatted data, or tried too, (read it somewhere) and its just been hung on that for hours now "formatting data" Dunno what to do.. I should have just waited on the initial boot after re-installing this rom, forgot it took forever.. dunno if should just keep waiting.. or try an flash back stock rom, and re-do everything.. I think my data partition is corrupted, or unmountable.. so not for sure how to proceed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Format data or wipe data ?? Formatting data will remove encryption and everything will be erased

Wipe data just erases data partition

Try to clean flash once again by wiping system data cache
