DomAlberts,

Excelent job !
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Some more uploads. Hope you like!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Hi, your photos usually look nice, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the non-natural colors. However, I've notice that usually the focus on your pictures is "bad": there is no area where the focus is made properly, on some pictures the whole picture looks blury. Doesn't it bother you? Is it part of your art?

Pic1: it looks like you tried to focus on the two grapes on the left, but they're not really in focus, if you zoom just a little it's blurry.

Pic2: it's all blurry again. The ant is half very blurried half blurried. Same for the flower, the white petals are not as blurry as the rest but they still are.

Pic3: it's better, the middle of the flower seems in focus

Pic4: much better as well, espcially the fly renders so well.

I've made myself the same observations on the previous pictures you sent in the gcam thread. I don't mean to offense you but I'd like to read your point of view. Cheers.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Well bare in mind that xda compresses the image to like 100kb. So lots of loss in picture quality. As does Instagram. But to be honest sharpness isnt always the most important thing. It's composition, lighting and also just how the picture generally makes you feel. An image for me is telling a story. You don't need every detail to tell a great story. You need someone to feel it. It has to envoke an emotion And for me that's what inspires me in my art form. I'm sure it's just different for you. And you value different aspects of a photo.

But thank you for your feedback back. I appreciate it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
You're welcome, I hope it wasn't too harsh. But yeah, it just disturbs me when there is no focus point and then I can't think of anything else and hence, appreciate anything else.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Hi it's not just one setting for all kind of thing. It's knowing what the settings do so you can adjust your setting accordingly. But if you need some help. Let me know what you are stuck with and maybe I can help. Or tell you the cause of the issue.

When I said share settings and tricks I meant all of us as a whole so we can bounce ideas and settings between us.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuska:
Oo i see...

for camera setting, much i dont understand...

maybe if you use GCam mod... and have setting for mini user 123 mod, please share with me..

Confuse with how to tuning it.

Thank you..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Yeah the compression kinda destroys the sharpness alot. I'd love to see some of your pictures and maybe hear some tips you've picked up along the way if you are willing to share?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
[MENTION=1737862]tomatot[/MENTION]

I had a look at the difference of these compressed ones and the compression of Instagram is better. They don't quite look like original but they are alot sharper than these. So if you wanna see them a little better quality. Feel free to check them out.

I like photography and I like looking at people's work, however I wouldn't call myself a photographer or an expert by any mean. I mostly take pictures for memories and how they look and I rarely edit them.

One you might like though, I took it a few years ago with a Zuk Z2 but I can't get tired of it : https://i.imgur.com/kwSteez.jpg

Maybe you should use a proper image uploader then? I'm not sure which ones don't compress files.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Yeah you right I need to find one. Good idea. To be honest I'm a wedding and product photographer. And then portraits if I'm feeling like getting ordered around by clients haha. Which is not likely.

I also work for pixabay.com. you'll see me on the about page.

I look at millions of pictures a week so it gets tiring. So that's why I started manipulating the colors, for a fresh start. Something different from looking at all those stock photos. And so just to see what this phone is capable of producing.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mzsquared:
Am gonna try something here, the first pic was uploaded through xda attachment the other(exactly same img.) was put into zip folder and uploaded as zip, will they end up having different sizes?

>>>yes, zipping it up preserves the original size, it's 289.8kb vs 5.82MB
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Makes sense! Not very practical though, both the uploader and the viewer.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Per the forum rules promoting social media including Instagram and personal blogs/websites is not allowed on XDA:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Awesome thanks for letting us know.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
No problem. Will do.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
Its not promoting. Just giving an idea of my background so people know they can ask me from for help. That just reassuring people. Not really promoting. I didnt say come follow me now. Or anything like that.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DomAlberts:
I'm shutting this thread down guys. Well I'm leaving. To be honest it's getting tiring. All I'm trying to do is help people. You can see by my posts. But this constant bombardment of people thinking I have alternative motives when I've given you no reason to assume so, has got me to my limits. I hear by resign from helping out. It's not worth the effort. I wish you all the best in your photography guys. Cheers.

You invited people in several post to view your Instagram account and had links to your personal website. You may not use XDA to do this.

Any idea what OEM citadel does? I have no clue from a precursory look.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slogar25:
Must be super secret. I can't find anything on that
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FernBch:
I couldn't find anything about that either.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i believe citadel has to do with the new Titan security chip but I could be wrong
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slogar25:
It does seem that is the only command new to the 3 XL compared to the 2xl. The latter does not have the Titan chip
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FernBch:
NVM, I misunderstood.

Pixel 3 XL, haven't crashed it, YET
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xFirefly93:
Am I pretty much blind or anything, but it doesn't exist anything regarding what the 'set display power mode' OEM command does within the link to the Crosshatch source(s), or..? :p
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rlewis312010:
Can you "turn off" Titan and then run commands? Is that something to do with Citadel?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xFirefly93:
This is the message I am getting when trying to use anyone of the OEM commands, in this case, the possible adjustment of the display power mode.

Is it any secret restrictions enabled somewhere that is denying us from modifying, or checking the stats of phone, from the bootloader level?

EDIT: Yes, my bootloader is unlocked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] npjohnson:
Yes, the device checks whether the PRODUCTION fuse, in our case, likely just QCOM_SEC_BOOT is blown, and if it is it restricts a whole number of commands/functions.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xFirefly93:
Sounds like something that only Samsung would add, but Google? Nah..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] npjohnson:
That wasn't said in a questioning way lol -- its just how it is.

Every non-Chinese phone has Qualcomm Secure Boot enabled by that exact means (the SEC_BOT Fuse row). If you Google it, you'll find such. It's why we can't run custom bootloader's (exempting S-OFF HTC devices which are an odd and interesting case where QCOM secureboot only verfies very specific chunks of the bootchain the user doesn't normally touch).

QCOM secure boot is literally the industry standard lol - using the production state to limit OEM commands is new as of the Pixel 2, and correctly restricting them is new to the 3 series.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick80835:
Could you maybe provide some info on how you extracted these commands from the firmware? Might be useful to me and others as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gee one:
This is from sargo. I tried some of the other oem commands that sounded non-destructive, but got a lot of invalid oem command errors.

I didn't try any of these citadel commands, but they do sound interesting. I have no idea if they will apply to the blueline/crosshatch.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] serendipityguy:
Hello All,

It has been a while since I returned back to the forms and seems kinda hard to find the path. . . .

Is this the right place for Samsung note 9 Tmobile? if not, can someone please point me to the correct forums for the T-mobile users who has the Samsung Note 9 Smartphone.

I see a lot of threads for Verizon and ATT and I don't want to be in the wrong place.

Like everyone else, I want to dig into the threads and root my Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Yes this is the correct place, the threads aren't broken up by carrier anymore also unless you have the Exynos version (which I assume you do not because you said that's on T-Mobile) Root is not available for the Snapdragon variant and I believe it hasn't been since the Galaxy S7?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
The Note8 had root... I had a SD Note8 and used the Samfail method to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
acctualy, the forum is not wrong but your phone is.

so if you thought about rooting it, then you bought the wrong note 9 model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup! You're in the right place! However, there is no root for the US Note 9s with the Snapdragon processor. Only the international versions have unlockable bootloaders and/or root. But the problem with an international version is no warranty and you won't have as great of a signal due to differences in supported radio bands and lack of carrier aggregation. Though some people in the US have had luck with them.

Also once you unlock the bootloader and root, you break Knox, which is permanent. Once that happens you'll never have Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, etc...again.

The Note 8 HAD root. Samfail was patched long ago when Oreo came out. The developer of Samfail said it was impossible to root the Note 8 now.

Yeah, but he'll lose carrier aggregation, so poorer signal strength, and US Warranty. And once rooted, Samsung Pay, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] serendipityguy:
What I want to do, but not in any specific order

Glad I made it here!!!

Thanks for the reply everyone who chimed in.

Here we go again with the no "root" from the 7 edge to this . . .

T-Mobile had this promotion that was hard to pass up so I upgraded.

What I want to do, but not in any specific order

Root

De-Bloat the bundled apps that I will not use

Install recovery tools

Install backup tools (need root)

Pimp out the kernel

It take me awhile to navigate around XDA to look for these tools and such.

I have never used Samsung Pay nor am I onboard with that service.

If anyone knows where I can find some of these tools, please don't hold back because it will take me awhile to get started.

Thanks Again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
appart from using adb to disable packages, none of the above list is possible without root.

nothing has changed regarding if the device is unrootable then these things aren't possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Uh.... O.o

YOU

CAN'T

ROOT

THIS

PHONE.

Root is not possible. Root will not be possible. You bought a phone that can't and won't be rooted. The developer of Samfail said it was impossible.

You can't have root.

Just in case you want to root the T-Mobile Note 9...you can't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] serendipityguy:
Ok, no one has provided a root or cooked a Kernel . . .

Are there any rooted roms that were baked?

Silly to ask, but are there any pure android roms for this Note 9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm not sure why you're so confused. The bootloader can be unlocked. So no custom ROMs. NONE. There is no root and never will be.

What you're asking is impossible.

Has anyone got the update
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
No
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
No and the word from Huawei Canada support is there is no guarantee our version of the P20 Pro will get it.

Still haven't received any security updates since Sept update (8.1.0.120) on my CLT-L04 C792
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
Same here, have September 1, 2018 update... 8.1.0.120 with EMUI 8.1. From what I'm reading, seems to be around December 10, give or take a few days.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] matever:
Honestly its going to take forever for these carriers to test and approve it. I would hedge my bets on January maybe February for the pie update.

What I did was rebrand my p20 pro (does cost a little money around 70-80$ cad) to CLT-L09 and on the November security patch :) if good software matters to you id spend the money, even though it is stupid to have to essentially pay to have access to the latest software.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
I agree. Keep hearing people say they've heard/read starting Dec 10th or Dec 22nd etc.. but they can never provide any proof to back it up. It'll be next year I'm afraid fellas.

Rebranding P20 Pro

I thought about this but honestly I got extremely confused with the different rebranding versions out there. Can you tell me exactly what you rebranded to? Did you keep the region at C792 or change it to C432? And just out of curiosity why L09 and not L29? I thought L29 was the European version? Or am I just even more confused than I thought lol.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] firewaterfan:
Haven't used this before - did a full download of the OTA package with no idea how to rename to install. Having said that I did run the firmware availability and it said that the firmware is not approved which I'm assuming means I'm going to get an error during the update. Probably because I'm still on locked bootloader it's looking for the carrier branded one.....?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
I think we still need to wait a little more to see an OTA.

What provider is it ? And I don't know if we have differents build depending of the carrier.

Is the kernel the exact same version on your phone right now ?

Kernel: 4.4.103+android@localhost#1 build on Mon Sept 3 12:03:42 CST 2018 ?

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] firewaterfan:
Yup same Kernel. Running 8.1.0.120 C792 with Koodo/Telus. Just had a chat with Ministry of Solutions he said $70 to provide bootloader unlock code and rebrand but I can do everything myself honestly with just the bootloader unlocked.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
