[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] phazei:
Hi, I'm looking for a suggestion on a ROM to replace my current one.

I've used Superman after trying all the roms available about a year or so ago. Now it's EOL and I need an Oreo rom. I've spent the better part of two days installing a bunch and setting them up and finding issues. I have a handful of features that I really would prefer to have, and can't find anything that lines up. I don't think they're over the top features, just can't find them together.

Here's what I put together for what I'm looking for:

Musts:

Stable

Magisk, or can flash Magisk with MoRo Kernel

Dialer has "places" tab to search nearby things

Most Samsung apps removed, no upday, no skype

Removed brightness and volume warnings

Fingerprint unlock on first boot - can't find a flashable mod for this

Network up/down speed on status bar

Call recording

Status bar/Tiles/System UI/etc work with Galaxy Themes

Can install http://tekhd.com/detonator/ T-Mobile CSC for Wifi Calling and VoLTE

Would prefer but can probably find alternatives:

Has reboot to recovery in boot menu.

Long press back button to end - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton

would be nice if it were built in, but can work around

Dual speakers - could just flash: https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-dual-speaker-sound-mod-v4-0-oreo-8-0-t3787782

Ok without but nice to have:

Mobile data confirmations were also removed.

Selectable boot menu choices

Fingerprint from always on for unlocking when screen off

- is it really a battery drain? Superman had it and my battery was ok.

Swipe from right to pull down tiles

Only reason I want to stick with TW is the camera quality. Wish that didn't teather me to it.

Could anyone please suggest ROM's that have most of those things? Or alternative ways to get them that doesn't involve disassembling?

Thank you

Currently testing on Tmo 6T - I am able to unlock my device with my middle finger knuckle -

This works 6 out of 10 times. I was also able to unlock using my daughter's knuckle. Has anyone else tested/experienced this. I saw that some other people have been able to unlock using fingers that arent registered by using just the edges.

I do not have smart / face unlock enabled. Nor my knuckles registered :)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mang0:
My knuckles are not unlocking my phone. Are you pressing it straight on? I tried with a few different knuckles.....
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OwnedU:
Using my right hand, my middle finger knuckle works best to do this, I place at the top of the with a slight left right motion with it's lighting up.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] naja09:
My knuckle isn't working on my phone :cowboy:
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OwnedU:
Correction, its not the knuckle, the correct term is the proximal phalangeal Joint. The main bend in your finger. That portion unlocks my phone. I tried on my sisters device same thing. This is done using the skin portion, not the underside of the hand

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] naja09:
Still not working here.

Bit annoying to test because of the awesome face unlock ?

But try to delete an retrain your fingerprints. Maybe you have a simple bug here
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jackennils:
Only my fingerprints unlock my phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] resist:
OP, check to make sure Google Smart Lock is not enabled. This is often the reason for cases like this so I'm guessing that's why you're able to bypass the security as well.

Discussion about this bug is going on for some days now over at Oneplus Community:

Only a few have yet encountered this issues, me counting
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
Doesn't work for me
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Bäcker:
I would guess that it's not a sensor problem but a problem/bug within the algorithm. Either this happens when enrolling the print or when the algorithm is trying to improve/learn reading your print. Maybe there is one point where the accepted pattern gets too vage, thus allowing even non-finger parts of the body as well as different prints?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] thompsr2:
Edit. Face-unlock was overriding the fingerprint/knuckle attempts in my case.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] phazei:
Recently tried that one. The Detonator TMobile CSC didn't work, I think maybe because it's a S9 port, so no VoLTE/WifiCall/places dialer. I saw the BlackkPearl N8, but that doesn't have many features. HyperRom was close, but the OneUI breaks all theamability.

Currently testing Deluxe Rom, seems to have all that and more. Though stability might be precarious based on its thread. About to root with Magisk via the MoroKernel 5.0 installer. *crosses fingers*

Also, the Deluxe Rom AC/DC boot animation + sound is the most gaudy boot animation I've ever seen, lol. Fortunately it's optional.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] phazei:
Got all the things installed on Deluxe Rom, so far so good. I sure hope the battery life is ok and it's still stable tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Between xposed modules and magisk modules, most of your list could probably be completed on any ROM. I'm still on Superman Nougat, and I'd say I have more mods from xposed modules than what the ROM offered.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] tdrsam:
When I started up this phone I found an app called MTKLOGGER which is logging all my actions on my phone.

I tried to root the phone to delete the logging app but found out that the bootloader can't be unlocked. When I got to the service page, it says: bootloader unlock allowed: no

I don't want a phone that logs everything I do, but I don't know what I can do about this. Is there a way to delete that app? Is there a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader? Would there be a way to change to a completely new operating system (or rom, whatever they're called)?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wafweezy:
My phone started acting up yesterday anytime I tried to send a message. I keep getting the red exclamation sign and message not sent error. I have tried the Google messaging app but same issue persists. My operator told me to look at the message center number and change it. Problem is I can't find it in the message settings. I have an N950U running oreo. The option to change message center number was there in nougat message>settings>more settings>text messages.... None of the tutorials online covers how to do the above in oreo. Kindly help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I have an unlocled carrier branded device, It runs on 7.1.1, for some unknown reason the service center number for sms got erased somehow the option to enter it is present in settings, but grayed out, a carrier employee told me that the only way to fix it is with a factory reset, but as I really dont use sms, as almost all The people Iknow, I do not intend to do a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
You may try to use the automatic configuration offered by (most) providers. Through their sites usually you can get configuration SMS, which I presume also sets the message centre number.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
You can take your device to the local high street retail shop and ask them to fix it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
On my Note 8 N950FD: Open the phone app-->tap the three buttons on top right-->Settings-->Voicemail Settings-->Voicemail number. Is that what you meant, or is there a separate "message centre" number?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Op is talking about the service number used for sending sms, voice mail number is for incoming calls not picked up, two different things
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Ok that's what I thought but wasn't sure. Thanks :)

So in that case, I checked and am able to change it as OP described: Open the messages app-->tap the three buttons on top right-->Settings-->More Settings-->Text messages-->Message Centre. Not sure why this doesn't work for OP, but it did on my N950FD running latest version of Oreo (not greyed out or missing, I can change it). Maybe it's CSC or carrier related?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Britch3s:
I have the same problem you have. Did you get yours figured out without shipping it off? I've been trouble shooting for ever and on the phone with str8 talk now. The n950u doesnt have message center. They even asked me to configure it.

Sprint LV V20 - Is there root for custom roms, kernels, etc. on Oreo? I have had this phone for over a year and a half and having screen retention. Would like to fix it with the custom kernel if there is any way.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
If you've taken of any OTA updates anytime in the last year and some months the Sprint LS997 has become unrootable with no realistic chance of becoming rootable again.

If you're on Oreo you're way too late to root, the last software version it was possible to rollback to a truly rootable version was ZV7. Thank LG and Sprint for locking the Sprint model down way more than any other model.

While there are excellent programs created here by developers, there are always some that you may want to purchase. So I'm asking here, what apps have you purchased that you use quite often and found the cost well worth it for the product. I'm willing to bet there are other threads, as I have read many here, that already suggest certain apps, but most are to cluttered. So, what are you using/have used and liked?

Every app listed in my signature is what I can't live without. None are free but well worth it to me!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I do have two questions for you. First, on the CorePlayer, are you able to covert video files from your PC to play on this, even if it's an additional software. For iNav, is this GPS reliable only on the PPC connections?

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] y0zer187:
Hey Guys,

I am running the Mate 20 x EVR-AL00 and I was able to get the hivoice uninstalled and the google assistant to stay the persistent assistant app.

Still struggling on getting "Okay Google" to work without the assistant app already loaded. Currently, holding the home button will launch the app.

Here are steps based on the methods of [MENTION=2757016]RedCriwx[/MENTION] for removing the default launcher:

https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-x/how-to/how-to-install-nova-mate-20x-reverting-t3863446

1) Download and extract ADB (I use platform tools:*http://mirrors.zzu.edu.cn/android/re....1-windows.zip)

2) Go to Settings > System > About Phone and tap on "build number" about 8 times. You should see a message saing: "You are a developer now"

3) Back to the previous menu and you should see now a new item called "Developer options", go there, find and enable "USB debugging" (you may have to use a Huawei ID).

4) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.

5) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.

6) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.

7) Run "adb shell"

8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant". It should show "success"

At this point you should be able to set your default assist app and it shouldnt change back to hivoice.

One thing I am still having a problem with is enabling "Access with voice match"

https://imgur.com/jhUwTjH

Is anybody else able to enable this option that is running on EVR-AL00 ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Steamer2499:
Thanks. Got rid of hivoice. Still have the exact same problems as you. Please keep us posted on any kind of fix. Do like the fact I can touch the home button now for google
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hughey2k2:
Looks like a lot work to get the same functions as the Google search widget. I just turned Hivoice off and put a widget on the screen but if this worked with only voice like saying "Hey Google" I'd be all over this.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] onepiece:
Excellent step by step instructions. Thank you.

To remove Hi Voice this command was critical:

8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant". It should show "success"

Can you point me to a reference with a list of commands (or syntax) to remove other features/programs that I'd like to uninstall?

Many thanks!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] y0zer187:
Thank you very much, I wanted to play around more tonight but didnt get a chance.

So what you can do to get a list of commands is once your in the adb shell just run the command "pm -h"

It will display the output of all the commands that can be used.

1) enable "USB debugging"

2) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.

3) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.

4) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.

5) Run "adb shell"

6 Run "pm -h"

Let me know if you find anything in regards to allowing the persistent "Okay Google" Command

the launcher problem is also still there, but i am already used to the emui launcher, so it´s okay for me
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ersguterjunge1911X:
tried everything, not working, but it´s not dramatical, everytime i open youtube vanced, it is not connected to google, when i fill in my email adress, it says user already connected, and than its fine, connected and works, weird thing. in the regular youtube app everything works like it should, but the most important problem is fixed, thank you again
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] htchd2mtk:
Same issue for me. Every time youtube vanced gets cleared from memory or I restart the phone, the app is not logged in. I have click on sign-in and then just back out of the login process...then it's fine. The regular youtube app does not have this issues.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] htchd2mtk:
I don't have 2 YouTube apps installed. After working some of the quirks out, I did a factory reset and set it up again. Now I only have vanced installed and I still have the issue on the L00 version. If there's a fix, please share. It's not a huge deal but just gets annoying I guess.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hattrickho:
does google backup has a problem? mine shows waiting for backup except contacts and photo,video.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] htchd2mtk:
I think there was a thread in this forum about the backup sync issue. My contacts and photos work fine but nothing else. I use a SMS Backup and Restore for texts and call history.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hattrickho:
yea! same like mine. App data,call history, device settings and sms text messages are all on "waiting to backup" status.

And the "Back up now" greyed out , can't click on it.

I don't know what's going on, well but at least I can use Huawei backup everythings to pc.

Hi there,

I've made a magisk module to fix the round corner for our Mix2s with AOSP PIE based ROM.

How to install:

Just search

RoundcornerFix

in magisk.

Install before you have read the details of the module.

Before: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nvE2GSFEWJNQPcKX7

After: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xe4q6BND389Dq8848

Warning:

You should NOT install this module in MIUI or LOS based ROM.

And I don't think it works on Oreo

Sorry to be slow, but what about the round corners needs to be fixed?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quentinga:
Top corners are "hardware corner", screen have round cut.

Bottom corners are "software corner", screen isn't cut (rectangular) but touch screen is round.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gibghost:
I don't know if I'd say it works just because it installed and didn't bootloop... I had the same success, but the bottom corners still appear as if the module wasn't even installed.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] lukasss232:
Not work for me with official Pixel Experience. I installed dedicated polaris and no check model version, down corners still not rounded.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] lukasss232:
Ok, I know why now - corners will not rounded if we hide navigation bar. Is it possibile to fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] igunisu_mac:
Thanks for the module. It works well on my Mix2s.

But the problem is, it won't work if the navigation bar is hided. Any solutions? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] KaLiBLeeK:
If you use this Magisk Module the rounded corners mod works without the navigation buttons:

https://github.com/AndroPlus-org/magisk-module-hide-navbar

I was having the same issue hiding the navbar with OnePlus Gestures, but the module above fixed it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gibghost:
Thanks much! This fixed it for me. Also, if you are using fluid navigation gestures, make sure to disable the navigation bar hide option for this magisk module to work correctly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] juvevood:
All most AOSP based room fixed it. This is no longer needed.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cubiss:
Yeah, it's fixed unless you disable navigation bar and use something like Fluid Navigation Gestures.

I'd like to see github repo ressurected :-/
