[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Siminica:
glad to hear it worked

you should first take ota, after you will find the already patched boot image here on xda and just use it for magisk or could create your own (but you should twrp to extract original boot image or wait for ruu for latest version to take it from there)

or maybe could be possible to extract original boot image from ota but I never did that so I don't know

Have just wiped the internal storage on TWRP HTC u11 Pus

Hi guys I really need your help here, I have wiped the internal storage of my "HTC U11 Plus" I did not make a back up either, TWRP recovery is installed and the boot loader is unlocked, this is a uk model. I would be most grateful if someone could tell me how to install the stock Rom back on to the phone or if someone will just be honest with me & tell me that the phone is just a paper weight now. I have spent some time looking for a stock rom on various website & also contacted HTC uk customer service who basically told me to f**k off, cant believed they would not help on a phone that cost £350, also I will sell the phone to any one on the board in the uk if they want an immaculate HTC u11 Plus.

Hi,

My phone is a S8+ (Exynos)

How can I avoid the "Only officially released binaries.." error when installing TWRP (Oreo)?

What I did was follow the instructions from here and after restarting my phone, it went to that "Only officially released binaries..." error on boot up.

I wanted to flash my rom to Renovate ICE.. Thanks!

Hello same issue here . Did anyone find a solution for that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] melchiar:
Bought this phone yesterday. I'm new to Samsung. I had seen and read a lot of reviews and articles, and all were very positive about the camera, but in my experience its very disappointing. Especially the front facing camera. It's always blurry, and what is up with all that smoothing out??? Even when it's off it just does the same. I haven't changed any special settings. After looking for a solution I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this. Is this just a question of taste, or is there really something "broken" at the moment with this camera?? I'm really considiring returning this phone. 1000€ and this is the picture quality I get?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
I paid considerably less than 1000€ a week after launch, I think I'd return it if I paid that much. I've had some good photos from the camera and also less impressive ones, it seems Pro mode is the place to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes the selfie cam sucks. Too much post processing causing the smoothing effect. I'm not an Instagram model, I don't need to look airbrushed.

The rear shooters though can produce some really nice pics.

It's the software that causes issues. The hardware is solid.

The other option is to download GCam which uses Google's HDR Processing from the Pixel devices. It produces really nice photos. Some GCam builds have Night Sight working as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
You might find this link useful for installing GCam, it seems to be a bit hit and miss, the camera works for a little while and then just force closes every time it's launched.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] william-johnson:
Welcome to the esteemed club of Note 9 owners! unfortunately a lot of us are already having this issue and understand exactly how you feel! there is a thread on here already about this: see below

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/help/galaxy-note-9-camera-sharp-t3835459

and trust me its annoying having paid so much for this device and then get this rubbish picture quality!.... and I bet you any money Samsung folks read these forums so whether its a case of "cant be bothered" or "working on it", no one knows!

I hear the point about Gcam download as an option but I really feel I should not need to download additional software to make up for Samsung's lapses. We buy this device cos we love it and desperately want it to work, guess Samsung makes them only to get our money... not rocket science who the real losers are ! :(

Now if these problems can be fixed with future updates that would be great, but is there communication from Samsung about this? And can this be fixed with (near) future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
So you don't have any third party apps on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] melchiar:
I'm about to return my phone and get my money back.. But i'm still doubting. .. Can these problems be fixed with future updates? Can we expect a good stock camera app in the near future?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
The only likely upgrade would be Samsung's take on Night sight, I wouldn't expect any miracles.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DeVilio:
Guys, hey, HW is solid as someone said, i also have some issues with cam quality, i thing that we must wait till we have pie update and then see what changes. Like im working with audio eq and for example player FIIOX5 III sounds quite bad at beggining, but later firmware updates makes it much better. So i thing - wait for software update and then decide to do something with it or ask for refound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] melchiar:
thx for your input
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
It's been hit and miss too for me, coming from a Pixel 2 XL.

Things are considerably better since I use the Arnova's Gcam port (better than my Pixel 2 XL in fact), and it made me realize Samsung's app/post-processing is the issue, not the Note 9 camera/sensor

Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board and do something about that agressive, over the top post-processing. Like I said, Gcam produces way better, more natural looking like pics, and most of all, they're not blurry (faster shutter time with Gcam maybe?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] melchiar:
Have you tried the one via official XDA

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/

Is there difference with the Arnova port?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
More features like Advanced HDR+ and Night Sight are working for me with Arnova's builds vs the one you just posted.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sputnik767:
Can you post some sample pics? This phone is consistently rated as one of the top cameras on the market and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. In good conditions it's hard to say that it's any worse than my DLSR with expensive lenses. Night shots are excellent too. If your rear camera is as bad as you claim, perhaps there is a hardware problem? The front camera does apply a lot of post processing (which I'm not a fan of either) but you can turn most of it off.

TLDR: either you have an actual hardware problem or insanely high expectations, the camera on this phone is just about the best on the market. When I say that it comes close to my DSLR, I'm not kidding.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] melchiar:
I added a screenshot. Do you install the first one or the second one?

Edit: the first one force closes every time, and the second one doesn't have all options it seems, like night vision en HDR+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
That's the one you want: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk

;)

If it force-closes on launch, that's because it was installed over an older version, just clear data + cache and relaunch, it will work

Reading some of these comments . . . The stock camera app takes fantastic looking pictures IF the subject is not moving. Try taking a picture of your kid or pet doing anything BUT standing still and the photo is a blurred mess. Wish the shutter speed was faster smh not holding my breath on Samsung fixing it thru an update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
Use Pro mode if you want to be able to specify your shutter speed, I find the raw's are pretty good once they've had some basic touch-ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] :
I don't think this one came out too terrible for using auto mode. My dog was running full speed. I agree the shutter speed could use some improvement in auto.

Yeah that looks pretty good. Way better than anything I've been able to get of my daughter while she's moving
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] :
I took a few more while we were walking and those came out a bit better. I didn't stop to take the pics on purpose. It's not quite as good as the Pixel 3XL I just sold on the motion photos but it's pretty close. The Note dose kill the 3XL with the zoom. I'll have to play more with manual mode. This is my 2nd Note by the way and this one seems to be preforming better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
I personally think it hardly beat my old Huawei P9.

I don't understand the point of having a pro mode separated (personal feeling).

In Pro mode you don't have the optical 2x zoom. If you zoom to 2x, it's crappier than in auto mode.

I hardly see any differences when HDR mode enabled and it's documented nowhere if its just a filter or not since it doesn't take multiple shots to make an HDR picture like any other camera.

I can't notice the OIS at all since pictures are still easily blurry with the slight possible movement.

You can automatically save picture to a SD Card but then no app can work with them for the auto made story, collage, "this day" or such.

And like always with multiple camera, all third party app are not compatible.

Etc.

Edit : and you don't have any distance restriction for bokeh.

Thx I got it installed and works, but it reacts very slow when moving phone to point at smt. Also switching modes takes long, sometimes have to hit home and reopen app. Do you have same behaviour or is it smooth?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jult:
Actually, no, it's mostly hardware that sucks for the Note 9 camera. It has waaaay fewer pixels than, for example, the 16MP SONY sensor of the Note 4 Exynos had. Which is ridiculous. A downgrade in pixels, who would have thought that was a good idea should be fired by Samsung immediately. What a total idiot. If I compare photos shot by Note 9 with those shot by Note 4, you immediately notice the pixel-count difference. They tried their best to hide that using post and software, but what isn't there can't be magically made to appear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
I read somewhere that you lose pixels due to the autofocus technology used by the phone and I wonder if its actually the case here too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jult:
I doubt it, in an interview the designer just tells us the sensor is smaller, and a different brand. I posted the article a while ago. When I find it, I'll post it here.

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] KittyMr:
Hi,

I recently tried to install the most recent update (the update was for EMUI 9 I think) on my V10 and it is now stuck in a bootloop. I cannot access recovery mode, when I enter fastboot mode, it says my FRP is locked and my PHONE is locked. I can't flash anything because my bootloader is locked. I have no idea what to do, any help is appreciated although I would rather the solution be free (ie not DC Unlocker or funky Huawei).

I had this once before and I solved it by getting into recovery mode, however, I don't know how I got into recovery mode last time it just happened randomly. I tried Vol up + power button, it does nothing just reboots my phone. I have tried vol up + vol down + power button, the same result.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

so I solved my problem, I let the battery die overnight and in the morning I tried plugging it in and booting into recovery mode (vol up + power button) and after trying several times (and unplugging my phone so it would die then plugging it back in to try again) I finally got it into recovery mode. From there I pressed download and recover and I got my phone back. The only problem now is that I can't update my phone through the official process as it just puts my phone back into the bricked state. Hope this helps anyone else who was in this situation.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Since the problem is caused by an official OTA, I recommend to send it to the service center

Hello...I'm trying to get Android working on an older tablet/laptop (Dell Venue 11 Pro i3). No matter which distro/version I try (and I've tried lots, both custom releases and the Android-x86 project), I always end up with no wif or bluetoothi. Android installs and runs no problem every time, but without connectivity...

I'm a newb with this but not with PC tech in general. I assume I am missing a fundamental step in how to install and configure/add wifi support but I can't find a comprehensive set of instructions or even some rough steps as to how I can add support for my wifi chip (Intel).

Can anyone point me to some good reading that will educate me on how to do this? (...or just tell me I'm SOL if it doesn't work after installing)

Thanks much. I've been trying to find this information for many days now for fear of it being something that's obvious to everyone else.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You need to make sure that whatever OS you are installing has the correct OS and correct kernel that is built specifically for your device's model number. The kernel is what allows the software to use your hardware, kinda like drivers on PC, if the kernel isn't correct, your hardware doesn't work correctly, regardless of whether the OS works or not.

You need to be using your specific model number to find a compatible ROM/OS for your device.

What is your device's specific model number?

What android version are you trying to install?
[General Questions and Answers] hulakai:
I realize now that I've posted in the wrong place....but I'm referring specifically to Android-x86 and the many variations out there (Remix, Prime, Android x86 Project, another whose name escapes me right now).

I've never seen hardware specific versions of Android x86, but I've always wondered if users need to recompile the kernel for their specific hardware...yet I've never seen that mentioned anywhere.

I don't think I have hardware that's super obscure. Dell Venue Pro 11 (7130 MS)...i3, Intel HD4000 graphics, Qualcomm/Atheros/Dell 1537 wifi/bt. The most recent version I tried was 8.1 from the Android-x86 project site. Each variation I try runs fine in every other way, but without connectivity.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] oulouloul:
Hello everyone..

I'm using s9+ and I'm thinking about to switch 6t Mclaren edition. My question is: if I buy mclaren, can I use every rom/kernel for regular 6t? For example can I use warp charge with a custom kernel for regular 6t?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Shouldn't be any different.

The charging is with the power management and the kernel doesn't do that.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] toolhas4degrees:
Actually I have a McLaren flashed custom kernel. Lost warp charge. It is in the kernel. Tested this on stock rom before last update. If there are new kernel sources released for the last ota that merged the software then maybe it will work since regular 6t users have the McLaren finger print animation hidden on their phone, must be in csc file or such or customed by model #

Current custom kernels do not support warp charge for mclaren

Also just tried update from flar2 Jan 2 warp charge still does not work on custom kernel currently
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] krithik marken55:
Then how to you managed to get wrap charge any McLaren stock rom?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] oulouloul:
Theoretically I was thinking about same. I guess I can't buy mclaren edition. Reason is lack of development.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] toolhas4degrees:
It's not lack of development all roms will run. Just don't have warp charge until the sources are release for the kernel devs. Usually a company (I forgot exact amount of time) but I think it's 90 days to release their sources for a new phone. This is so another company cannot steal their stuff. The devs will build for the new kernel. But the sources have not been released yet

This phone is the best phone I have ever owned. I've had multiple htc phones and Samsung phones and nothing compares to this currently.

Stock kernel and battery life are fantastic no lags runs great. I hope the sources not being released doesn't sway you from getting this phone
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bladestonez:
You lose fingerprint scanner on all custom roms ATM so they aren't terribly useful at least for me. Stock ROM is good no real need to change it, and if you absolutely need a custom ROM just use the stock kernel and you should be fine. As others have stated it will only be a matter of time before the kernel sources are out and warp charge will be added. But until the fingerprint scanner gets figured out I'm staying on stock ROM.

Hmm.. Let's wait for sources then.. It'll be better and better.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] $@G4:
Hi all,

First I want to thank all of you guys for the V30 posts. You guys helped me pick this phone with confidence as I had not found a proper replacement to my dear Nexus 5.

I just bought an unlocked LS998 at BnH and before flashing it to US998 I tried the Google speed test with my ATT SIM card.

I had between 6 to 9mbps up ( same down) while my current phone (HTC10) is showing 22 to 25mbps.

Same SIM card and same location.

Is this because I am missing att bands? I notice band 1(2100) was missing vs the HTC or the US998.

I believe the hardware itself should be an upgrade from the 2016 HTC 10 Cat9.

Thank you,
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'm not clear. Are you still on LS998? Or US998?

Also depends on what ATT band you're trying to use. Band 5 is slow like that. It's just supplemental to the main LTE bands.

Hi ChazzMatt

I am still LS998 fresh out of the box.

Can we pick the band we use? I left it by default.
