Yeah it is responsive. I see no difference at all from having the case on and not on.

It feels like the film screen protectors. it is crystal clear.

I run the adb shell overscan commands to get rid of the nav buttons and status bar icons. so touch is important to apply needed gestures. I have not had any problems

I have installed Nova launcher on my mi 8 and phone icon is missing ! when I switch back to system launcher, the phone icon returns back.

Other than that I do not like the default MIUI phone app. I tried to install several versions of Samsung phone apk, but they dont install or dont run.

Is there any good alternatives out there ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kayc23:
Hi guys,

I updated my android when i initially got it to api version 28 and later on realized i cannot use xposed framework seeing as it is only up todate as of version 27. Is there a way to change my API in my phone or to "trick" the system to thinking it is api version 27 without downgrading my OS? Is there an update for Xposed coming any time soon? I probably sound like a noob, which I am, but any thing helps :).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Generally speaking the OS level changes means Xposed won't work, even if you tricked it into thinking it was on a different android version.

It took over a year for Nougat to get Xposed, and I believe Oreo is still in beta. Pie may be a while.

Rom: Build with GCC, disabled forceencrypt, update 2nd cpu variant, update default density to 420.

Kernel: include my basickernel which is upstreamed to 4.4.166 (changelog can you find in its thread) just added power button debounce time fix.

What else: upstreamed to latest lineage-15.1 sources with december security patch and some more little under the hood changes.

Next time you can answer the questions yourself quicklier, just look into my sources there you find everything.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] sgspluss:
No not really because its the same as you can find in offical one.

If there was anything to worry about, then you haven't this update but so far its good to go.

As soon as i will find some more free time will update it to an newer one, but as always this needs its time because of the known reasons.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hkalltheway:
Hi, I have the Singapore firmware on my device (non-rooted): XSP

This firmware is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to updates. I am currently Sept 1, 2018 security patch, and that is the latest available for this device.

Is it possible to flash another exynos firmware from ODIN to my device WITHOUT factory resetting my phone, so my data and apps don't get affected? Can I just download the UK version, for instance, from Sammobile and flash it without affecting my data?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] force70:
Yes thats no problem, just make sure you flash home CSC, if you flash CSC it will factory reset your devcie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hkalltheway:
Thanks! I'm guessing it's not considered a dirty flash or anything right? If I install another firmware on top of XSP and flash csc_home, can it effect performance negatively?

What's the best recommended firmware to flash that gets the latest updates to replace my current XSP?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hkalltheway:
anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] henklbr:
You can flash ANY firmware where OXM is mentioned in the CSC

Flash AP BL CP HOME_CSC_OXM with Odin 3.13.1 to your device: your data & CSC (XSP) will stay intact.

You can't change CSC on your device; if you flash i.e. the latest UK-firmware (BTU/XEU) and that build is NOT released for CSC XSP, you won't get OTA's to your device and you'll have to flash later FW's again via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] denru01:
Does this mean you can use any CSC from other official firmware and the drawback is that you cannot get OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] henklbr:
If your CSC contains OXM (check with *#1234# in your dialer), you can flash every OXM-firmware released.

But: if that build is not released in your country, you won't get OTA-updates.

If your country will get a newer build, and you flash that to your device, than you'll receive OTA's again...

(PROBLEM) When i plug in my earphones that i have used on s6 and s7 edge work perfect on one ear i hear hissing sound and on the other ear i hear actual music played. The earphones were working perfectly like a month before when i bought the phone i tried different headphones but still the same problem. And solutions?

I am kinda thinking about this.. i was actually listening the radio on this pjone and the thing is it was used for antenna.. could that break the headphone jack? Is it just a software bug?

After seeing that the Blu vivo xl4 requires an "auth file" in order to flash with spflash tool, I asked BLU to supply the file.

They responded with a big fat NO.

.......

.......

THE NEXT DAY THE FILE WAS POSTED ON A DIFFERENT THREAD.

SO THERE HELP WAS NO LONGER NEEDED.
[Android General] mrmazak:
Just made successfull readback on preloader. and currently reading full rom.

will post link when done.

here is auth file and DA file I used.

pulled firmware is here.

there are more images in complete firmware, but the ones included should be enough , as long as you NEVER do format all from spflash tool.

STOCK ROM
[Android General] mrmazak:
So far all attempts to load twrp have failed.

Also just tried to flash boot.img with the built kernel. When rebooted, phone just stayed on black screen. No back-light , nothing.

Just a repeating connect disconnect sound from pc. Long pressing power and trying to get into the bootloader menu failed.

Was able to Que up sp flash tool and keep holding the volume down button , on the next time it cycled on off preloader was caught and i was able to flash back the correct boot.img.

Working version is available now
[Android General] mattgyver:
Thread was opened.
[Android General] psychofad:
My streak with SP Flash is still a losing one, the auth file works for my phone as well (Blu Vivo XI+), I just used the preloader.img that was in the update.zip and ran it through the WwR MTK Tool and got the preloader.bin to go with the auth file as you indicated you had done, that was one hurdle that your post helped me solve, but for some reason when I start reading the full rom I get about 6-10 MB into it and then it disconnects from my phone and stops. Not sure if its driver related or what, which drivers did you use for the readback?
[Android General] mrmazak:
To be honest I have not installed driver specific for this. I have vcomm drivers installed, same from couple years ago.

Is the readback stopping because you set wrong hex address length in the readback tab?
[Android General] psychofad:
No, I got the readback of the EMMC_USER just fine and ran it through the WwR MTK tool and it gave me the hex address to use for the full rom readback, t then told me

The file size is smaller than the start position of the LK (uboot). To determine the type of processor and memory, it is necessary to read the full firmware in the SP Flash Tool, specify the parameters for reading: Start address: 0x0, Lenght: 0x1D1EC00000.

So I entered those two addresses as EMMC_USER readback. If my phone is off and I just connect it to the usb without holding any keys it gives me another error.....and I'm an idiot. just figured it out as I was looking at logs, apparently I must have changed the usb speed in sp flash which changes it's pid causing it to try and read from another port. It's downloading now :P

******EDIT*****

Most of the following problems did not repeat in same way when I tried to repeat the install process.

Main issue was with simcard. But exact process to get installed and working is still not known.

-- install after already having rooted, encryption removed stock, seems to work.

-- fresh full stock rom, full encryption, then gsi seems to not work sim card.

PHH-treble gsi images do boot this device. I do not have a bug list as yet.

working:WITH encryption removed:

1. wifi

2. camera

3. fingerprint- unlock

4. music

5. video

NOT working :WITH encyyption removed:

1. cell signal

2. cell data

3. phone

4. sms

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

working:WITH encryption enabled

1. phone

2. sms

NOT working:WITH encryption enabled

1.. everything else

EDIT

Much of the force closing problems were from a corrupted external sdcard. When I removed the card , the force close messages did not come.

Getting 4G data connection was not stable. after a full reset and rom re-install I was not able to get data connection, and only able to have connection to make calls when set to 3G connection only.

some bugs in vendor I assume will need some help solving this.

EDIT 2

Finally got around to trying again. his time I started with vanilla version of phh-treble gsi.

4G data and sms, calls in out all work. Camera , video both work.

WiFi tethering did not work.

Setup that worked :

force encryption removed with universal dm-verity patcher, ( bothboot.img and vendor partitions both edited).

magisk patched boot
[Android General] sinkoo1979:
Would this work on Blu Vivo XI since same chipset?
[Android General] mrmazak:
It should. I have been working with few users with Xi+ it works for them. And another user of Xi provided a twrp port, but no details on if this read-back worked. It must have, I suppose it must have.

Please do try to do the readback for your self, and share the files. will help with twrp if I can
[Android General] mrmazak:
Guide has been revised.

The original guide suggests to format /data and patch device to remove force encryption. This works fine for stock rom, and modifying stock rom. But I have found that removing encryption will not allow the phone to work as a phone when flashed with GSI. The down side is, at the moment, there is no twrp that is working to read the encrypted /data.
[Android General] Decaphyz:
Can any of this be done without a computer
[Android General] mrmazak:
No, you need fastboot(PC preogram) to unlock bootloader and either sp flash tool or fastboot to flash recovery.
[Android General] Decaphyz:
Oof
[Android General] IndifferentBear:
I just did this, and it worked the first time. I got into the phone and set it up. But it was super laggy after a while. So I decided to reset the phone like how you would normally do to fix a problem, and now... it’s making me boot into the recovery each and every time I try and boot into the system...﻿ i installed the gsi rom "PixelExperience for AOnly" at max lees site
[Android General] mrmazak:
dont panic. this is minor bug. Easiest way to solve is to flash stock recovery. and do factory reset from there.

You can install image from twrp or fastboot, even spflashtool.

It is from the flag that is set into para(misc) partition.

You can clear it manually with terminal also, or even use one of the othe rtwrp images I shared. One with "misc" in the file name.

If you use one of those recoveries and do reset will also clear that reboot condition
[Android General] IndifferentBear:
thanks dude! can you give me the command to run in terminal to do it? ill try that first, then ill try flashing stock recovery!

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

but i was required to wipe the sys, data, cache, and dalvik/art to have a clean install.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

YO! Oaky so basic laly when i flashed that misc recovery IT BOOTED!!!!! thank you soo much dude, your the best!
[Android General] mrmazak:
this is the command from an other blu device. It should be same. It targets just the specific block in the file that should be making it boot to recovery.

The wipe method takes the whole partition blank.

But to be sure. Please copy the original image and keep it safe. Send it here. I would like to compare the offset that the flag is at.

to save the original para (misc) partition

dd if=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/para of=/sdcard/recovery-loop-para

to try the code from other device

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/para count=1 bs=32

Since the XL4 and XI have the same chipset, when the XI gets Android 9.0 it should be fairy easy to upgrade our XL4s. :)

I'm waiting for the black XL4 to get back in stock. Not sure about gold. I think the color will end up wearing off the fingerprint reader. It did on my Galaxy S6 edge+.
[Android General] mrmazak:
I am completely dissappointed in the fingerprint reader to be honest. 75 % of the time it does not work. It takes 6 to 7 tried to unlock with it.

I even tried to register same finger 2 or 3 different ways, to get as many angels on it as possible. But still not working good.

My other phone by hauwei, is ?% better as far as fingerprint goes
[Android General] IndifferentBear:
how would i get back to the stock firmware. would i just flash the system, vendor, and the stock recovery? does it have to be in a certain order? and what is md1rom.img in the stock rom zip file? does that need to be flashed?

im doing this because im confused as to why resurrection remix GSi rom is not letting me access the camera. it says insert sd card to use the camera. then when i go to the gallery app. it says no external storage available. i really hope someone can get back with me quick

alright!, i didnt flash that md1rom. i was sure i didnt need it haha. it just had the word rom in it, so i was a little confused. thanks a lot dude. i really appreciate the responses. i swear you guys always save my phone <3 :highfive:
[Android General] NeoZiggy:
It's not just you, my Studio View XL is the same way!! I have redone my finger many times and tried having it stored twice too but it still has issues. It must be the budget line reader BLU uses. My zMax Pro was budget and worked just as good as my S6.

I read the Vivo XI+ has great fingerprint recognition and fast face unlock but that's the "flagship" and what the extra $150 gets ya... Or they haven't used the device long enough to encounter the countless misreads yet. ;)
[Android General] NeoZiggy:
Just got my XL4. One issue is that there is no Display Size option and even in Developer Options I can't set "smallest width". The DPI on here is huge! It may just be me, but that's the first thing I change on every new device.

Using ADB I set the DPI to 260 (also tried 240 and 280). Screen shots of After and Before below... look how much more space you get in the URL bar.

UPDATE: Soft bricked device. Adjusting DPI worked until I went to reboot. Now I had to factory reset. Grr!
[Android General] Deygus:
Any word or luck on the success of this? I just got the XL4 about a week ago and was looking into how to update it to 9.0 but I am starting to wonder if it's even worth attempting it yet as I don't want to ruin it.
[Android General] NeoZiggy:
Android 9.0 is not available for this device yet. May never be.

I believe somewhere in the OP it's mentioned about flashing something to remove a flag that that causes the device to force recovery upon changes. Thta would fix my issue. I haven't had much time to play with rooting yet.

Updating the Android version is up to BLU. But you probably won't see an update since they haven't in the past. BLU said the XI+ will get 9.0 but nothing about the XL4 or XI. Since the XI (not XI+) is nearly identical to ours If they push an update to the XI it may work for us or could be easily ported. If kernel source for is released perhaps some Dev could build a ROM.
