Thanks for your reply :) . Initially I too had same doubts and after checking about word "DVT" I found it stands for "Design Validation Testing" and it's one step before Mass Production for consumers. And also noticing the date of shipment which is 29th Aug 2017 (almost 35 days before official launch) I don't think there would be any hardware differences.

however one thing I would really like to know is Build No. I mean can we change that through a normal update ?

Here are the links/images of back-panel [IMG="Back Panel"]https://ibb.co/nsvQvA[/IMG]

and About me section in settings [IMG="Build No. and BaseBand Version"]https://ibb.co/eqW9Nq[/IMG]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Your image links are screwed up. Let's try that again.

Back Panel

About Me - Settings

Now, in answer to your question, probably not. The software here is a pre-release version of Android 8.0, as noted by the build number. From past experience with people who have come across these devices thinking they got a good deal, what usually happens is they attempt to update the device and it fails. Where these devices are intended for testing the software, Google locks down the device so that only testing images can be loaded. Unlocking the bootloader will not be possible, and Verizon owners know all about that, but this will be worse. The option to allow OEM Unlocking will most likely be grayed out.

Unless you don't care about unlocking the device and never seeing an update of any kind, this is not a good deal. Not when you can go to Swappa and purchase a production model that has potentially been used even less than these units.

Build No. is taimen-userdebug 8.0.0 OPD1.170816.007
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I do something similar for the Dept of Defense as far as testing weapons systems, software, etc. and if these units are indeed test validation units, they have been stressed in super heated, super cold, harsh environmental conditions, attempts to overcharge the battery, leave it plugged in during heavy use, overheating the CPUs, and a ton of other tests that validate it's consumer usability.

Basically, these units, if test validation pieces, have been abused both physically and software to represent the worst use the average consumer would put them through.

With some of our software testing, earlier versions are unable to be overwritten, or updated via conventional methods because it is still under testing. IF these units are similar, they might be stuck on whatever OS is currently on them.

If they are being sold AS IS, or you can verify they are actually TEST units, I'd put my money somewhere else.

Just my .02.

Good luck!

If it were me, I wouldn't risk ANY funding I wasn't willing to lose on these. With some
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rasi_rana:
thanks for stopping by and putting forward your views.

How about investing 1/4th of the retail price on a single device ? and btw Build No. is "taimen-userdebug 8.0.0 OPD1.170816.007" (in case you could offer some more help)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
If it were me, I would stop at Verification Test Device.

Only you can determine whether you're willing to risk how ever much 25% would total.

Especially if you don't know that you can sell these as upgradable, unlockable, or if they even have all the final release apps and features installed.

Since you asked, my advice is: walk away save your $ for another venture that has more reliable resale and profit tied to it. Way too many IFs and unknowns with these devices in my opinion.

[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
I have Xperia XZ1 Compact, that's Android 8.0.

I installed Xposed from within Magisk, v90b3r14. It seemed fine until I opened the Xposed installer itself - it says "Xposed is not yet compatible with SDK 26 or your processor architecture (arm64-v8a)".

What does this mean? What's going on?
[Magisk] aillez:
you need to use Xposed installer (magisk compatible)
[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
I know. But I installed it from within Magisk, so that means I must have downloaded compatible version.
[Magisk] aillez:
not always...

You should download from xposed magisk thread by topjohnwu
[Magisk] madbat99:
He means the Xposed installer APK. You have to use the APK that's compatible with magisk Xposed.
[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
Yes, I am talking about the same thing. The installer was already there when I installed Xposed through Magisk.

Besides!

I downloaded it from within Magisk. THAT MUST BE THE COMPATIBLE version otherwise it makes no damn sense.
[Magisk] madbat99:
The installer APK usually doesn't come with the module. Did you use unity or API specific? Your problem makes no sense unless you installed the wrong version.
[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what are you talking about.

I went to Magisk manager, then downloads or something, did a search for Xposed, and installed that. All from within Magisk manager. That's all I know.
[Magisk] madbat99:
then uninstall that one and look again in magisk manager for Xposed API 26 if that's your API version. Are you on Oreo 8.0?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

Use the one for your API instead of the all in one

Open the link in a browser instead of trying to reopen it in XDA labs. See if that helps. Could be something in your settings in XDA labs, maybe about opening links
[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
Thanks!
[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
Omg.

So I finally downloaded it, installed it, and when I opnened the installer, it says "could not load available zip files".

WTF already!

edit: and after I restarted the phone, I am in endless bootloop.

I guess I'm ready to give up on this nonsense. I can probably live without Minminguard (that's the whole reason why I wanted to install Xposed in thefirst place).
[Magisk] madbat99:
Did you uninstall the entire Xposed magisk module like I told you to? And then install the sdk 26 specific magisk module?
[Magisk] Deleted member 7449255:
Yes! I did.

It all worked fine until I installed the Xposed Installer, which immediatelly complained about the zip files thing, and when I restarted phone, I got in an endless bootloop, and not even safe mode helped.
[Magisk] madbat99:
You didn't try to install the zip inside of xposed did you? Boot problem should not have happened. Especially if you removed Xposed framework completely. and installed the correct one for your sdk. Rebooting in between. But if you're still stuck unable to boot, you can always Flash the magisk uninstaller zip, then reinstall it. that will remove your other modules and you'll have to reinstall them.

wait... u can get voicemail in the phoneapp again? i thought that ended a while back... i was installing an old version of google voice for a whle to keep it in the phone app...

so, if i uninstall google voice i can get voicemail in the phone app? or do i have to go through this process?:

1. Uninstall the newer Google Voice (temporarily). Prior to uninstalling, I wipe the app's Cache and Data too as a precaution, so I can't report on the results of following these steps without doing that.

2. Go to the APKMirror website and download the latest Google Voice v4.x APK, something like v4.7.10.

3. With Unknown Sources checked in the Security Settings on your phone, install and fully setup the old Google Voice version, including setting your Phone app to use Google Voice for voicemails.

4. Once it's all setup, you can update Google Voice to your heart's content. Note that if you go into the Phone Voicemail settings you'll see that it still doesn't give you an option to select Google Voice, but you'll also notice that it appears as if the only setting it now shows (Carrier) is not selected either, so the setting is retained even though you can't select it with the newer Google Voice installed.

5. Re-disable "Unknown Sources" if you wish.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
Make sure that your phone is not forwarded to another messaging service. If you ever tried another voice messaging app, sometimes they do this automatically. If you forget to undo it then you will not receive voice messages. You can bring your messages back by disabling call forwarding. To do this, call ##004# for Tmo/Att or ##002# as a generic default that should work for all other US carriers. Verizon should be *73 and Sprint *730 .

I have a Android One version of the X4 and I am attempting to leave the rom stock (be a first for me in almost 10 years). I have it unlocked and the stock settings only allow you to move the DPI or Display size so small and I would like it smaller. I booted to TWRP and and added the line ro.sf.lcd_density to the build.prop file (didn't see it listed). Now when I boot the "Display Size" setting shows Custom (408), no matter how low I make the density setting in build.prop (currently at 300). Is there another config file that controls the minimum value somewhere?

[Android Head-Units] Sebastiano_B:
So long time lurker here, and probably in the wrong section, if so, really sorry and please move it to the correct section if needed. :angel:

I have been using an MTCB unit ( Hui Fei Type ) In my Nissan Note, tweaked it, upgraded it to android 6 and everything worked fine. Sold the car, sold the headunit. and now I have an Nissan Qashqai J10 (2009) .

This car has an pretty nice head unit in it, with navigation and rear cam feed like the one below :

[IMG="Current head unit"]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zizPFbJOp7I/hqdefault.jpg[/IMG]

So removing this one and replacing it with something else is something I want to avoid. After some research I had fount out there are some models that have the head unit navigation display above the traditional headunit

[IMG="separated screen"]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a1/36/b4/a136b48de6ae3c1199ee184038e4a58d.jpg[/IMG]

This gave me some new opportunities and I went ahead and bought the parts needed :

Dashboard section on ebay including the top screen

7 Inch Display from AliExpress

USB Dab+ Adapter

USB GPS receiver

Development poard to solder parts on. with the same size as the raspberry pi

12V Relay to act as switch on key ignition

12V - 5V 3A Step down to get power from the car to the development board. ( 2 pcs )

original Nissan ISO wiring harness just in case for the parts

2 push buttons ( 1 - Latching as power switch for this head unit, 1 momentary for hard reset )

FM Transmitter ... (In hindsight I do not like this idea because someone else could possible listen to it if driving close to you..., going to use the AUX on the original head unit instead )

I already had an Raspberry Pi 3 B+ lying around here and wanted to use this but found out quickly enough that is not an option because I really want to use Android 7.1+

After some looking around I have to decide what to buy next :

Alpine64 ROCK64

Alpine64 ROCKPro64

Libre Computer - AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato)

The first and the latter are roughly Raspberry Clones and therefor will fit for sure in the reserved space behind the screen. The pro version is going to be probably to big and the extra compute power is not really necessary.

I already received the dashboard part including the top screen. Sadly the screen is not functioning and has some really specific connectors so I removed the original display from the case and build the AliExpress Display in the case. it fits almost perfectly but needs an extra bezel to fill up some small gaps. (pictures will follow)

After installing Raspbian on the raspberry and some frustrations with the 7 inch display (which worked good, but the touchpanel was broken and did not detect touch 10mm from the borders all around, I'm awaiting an new one at the moment )

The up comming week i have to wait for the majority of the ordered parts and will post updates ones I get them.
[Android Head-Units] gergelykrasznai:
Dear Sebastiano,

May I ask you if you managed to succeed with this project? I have a Nissan QQ with the same version of screen on the top of my dashboard, and I would like to replace it with an Android unit, but I'm not sure which one would fit there, and if this is possible at all, so it would be a huge help to know how your project ended.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Shocky2:
Does anyone know what package disablers work with the Note 9, it's been a year a so since I was with Samsung and package disabler appears to have disappeared from the Play Store.

Can I get it somewhere else? does it work with the Note 9? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
It works but it also gets removed from Play Store periodically then it gets reinstated. People who purchased it its earlier reincarnations need to purchase it again, assuming they need to reinstall, if more than 6 months have passed. Needless to say a lot people feel peeved off (and rightly so) by the developer's attitude.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
I had a look around at these but then opted to try the ADB route instead. There are various threads around on what to disable and it's pretty straightforward to do. I also wonder if just disabling the app via settings is similar or good enough. Haven't found enough info so far to confirm, but have disabled some apps this way too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Is the ADB method the same as on an LG phone? E.g. pm uninstall -k --.......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Shocky2:
Not sure about ADB, only time I've used ADB is for flashing recovery, I wouldn't know where to start.

I've disabled everything I can manually, although there are a few not sure about, after checking the play store via chrome package disabler pro is still available but not for the Note 9, annoying because I'm pretty sure I have the Pro version. :confused:

Also somewhat unrelated, why does the software on the Note 9 have such difficulty closing down background apps? even when you explicitly selected them to not run in the background, an hour or so later it's still active and using battery. :silly:
