If somebody is willing to fix it, don't know if it will get ported to S9 though

Maybe stupid question, but "How does HWC work on 8.1 Roms?" Have Samsung made big changes, when updating to Pie? Why was it so much easyer to port 8.1 HWC?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] allofee:
in android 9 google switched to hwcomposer 2 and deleted hwcomposer 1 support.

Looks like this is the reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
Yes and yes
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Essasetic:
Yikes! That was a massive turn in events.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Blackburn119:
If Jesec abandon S9 as well, do we need to try to get Ivan to become the new maintainer with donation?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] phamtieugiao:
Nah, just sell S9, get OnePlus
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
In my humble opinion S9 is better than OnePlus on every aspect but modding.

While we all are here because we like modding, I don't think it's a wise advice to switch device.

If anything we can switch to one of the modded stock ROMs that give more customization options, custom kernel and root.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Andrw0830:
When I was on the S7 Jesse did the same thing, once the new device was out, he no longer maintained the S7 so hope that doesn't happen with the S9. I realize the devs do this on their spare time for free, but at least with Jesse, wish they wouldn't jump ship the first time a new device is released.

Ivan on the other end has been excellent as again referencing the S7, once Jesse left, he took over and got the S7 HWC working for Oreo! Hope he has the same success with the S9 with Pie!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
Would be awesome, but I think it's much harder with Pie, so I don't see it happening anytime soon, I think the other bugs are more important at the moment, like the battery drain and video playback, but nobody is fixing those at the moment either
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rsktkr1:
This article https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-16-unofficial-samsung-galaxy-s8-s8-note-8/

is interesting in that it states that Unofficial LineageOS 16 has been ported to S8 and the only problem is fingerprint scanner.

Why they able to port to S8 and not S9? They do not mention problem of HWC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
can anyone give me the gcam lib zip file for aosp? please
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
If someone skilled enough starts working on this phone, maybe. But that's the problem, nobody is at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:
Okok, this pissed me off more than it should and here's why

All respect to xda writers, calling that a "port" is purely retarded just because it isn't. A port is when you have something that is ment for a device and then you make it work on another. That was build from source, specifically for the s8, and the last thing it is, is a port.

Also afaik, hwc is broken on the s8.

Also, "they", meaning Ivan the seal, is developing for both s7,s8 and our s9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:
There is none.

The only gcam that works for this afaik is idan's older libless one.

Try to flash any lib and you will loose all camera functionality until you reflash vendor
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:

does HWC not being enabled affect anything on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] n756gkj:
[MENTION=4738214]Rainbow Dash[/MENTION] et al

Thx for this thread & effort.

Is the eventual goal to have this S9+/LineageOS16 build tree become 'official', to be available and maintained from the LOS site, and replacing the existing S9+ tree there (jesec's v15.1, iiuc) ?

Or is the plan to keep it available only here as an ongoing dev project?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] biggary:
As I understand, the builds won't become official soon, if at all, due to HWC not working - Samsung made it incredibly hard to port it from one UI to aosp.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but lineage has got some high standards, and to become official it needs to be all working.... [MENTION=6185853]Rainbow_Dash[/MENTION] done a bloody good job bringing this to our phones,

By the way, I found the vendor to flash this....can anyone link me to a twrp flashable firmware zip to run this rom???

EDIT : My 1000th post!! Whoo!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] enetzlsg:
Nothing at all. Just installet twrp for first time and your rom. Not a major issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
Samsung did make it hard, so we need an Exynos god to fix the broken stuff. Unfortunately Jesec moved on from this phone and Ivan is currently doing S7 and S8, no S9. As far as I know there aren't really any other Devs capable of fixing the things broken right now, so it probably won't happen until Ivan starts working on this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ZoiraP:
I think HDR with included camera works perfect. Image quality is really good , Gcam is a bit better but not much , in my opinion. ROM is really smooth, thanks for keeping it updated ,i dont really care if this gets official or not , nor if HWC works , whatever people say rom is perfect for daily driver . Thanks [MENTION=6185853]Rainbow_Dash[/MENTION] for your great work , we do love you.

I saw Jessec's post in the Telegram update channel:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mrmodzix:
So what happened here? Did he say anything else after this? I assume he didn't know about the HWC issue on Android P before posting that.

Wow Ivan is the one true king of Galaxy.

It took him less than a year while other devs gave up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
Question: in Lineage OS 16 is there a built-in way to quickly turn OFF the display without using power button?

I mean like long-pressing home button or something similar? It is an action I always like to perform as easily as possible.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:
Double tap statusbar
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
Mmmh, statusbar being at the very top of the screen makes it uncomfortable to reach.

Might be an option an app like Home Button Launcher, that takes over the built-in feature to long-press Home Button and get Google Assistant?

I guess my question is: if I enable Pie navigation gestures and long-press the "pill", do I get Google Assistant?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
less than a hour tbh i was just a bit lazy and didnt touch s9 for quite some time
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
Using Nova launcher I have dt2s and home button to lock my screen. On any ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
[MENTION=7478074]bdwilk[/MENTION] you are absolutely right, but you know, that way you first go to Home and then lock the phone.

It is fair, but what I'd prefer is to lock the phone staying in the current application, so that when I will unlock I'll be right there.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
But why not just press the power button?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
[MENTION=7359222]EddoWagt[/MENTION] well, I happen to turn off the device with both hands and that's not possible with the power button.

Moreover it is for ergonomic reasons, like the double-tap on statusbar mentioned above: anything higher than the Bixby button is uncomfortable for me.

I'm nitpicking, I know, and sure it's not the end of the world, but we all are here because we like to customize our devices down to the heart, aren't we?

Edit: what GApps package do you guys recomend? I see LOS is for MindTheGapps, but in the past I liked the customized install of OpenGapps: does it causes issues for real?

Sorry, I've been out of the modding scene for a while, since OnePlus 3, and I probably missed quite a bit of updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
Maybe you can remap the Bixby button to lock the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
Yep, I've got bxActions installed right now, but use for different purposes (Tasker).

As of now I use Samsung One Hand Operations+ to enable gestures from display sides and mapped a gesture to turn off the screen; that's the way I turn it off 99% of times.

Out of curiosity, what does Bixby button do on stock LOS, without bxActions?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EddoWagt:
I have no idea, probably either nothing or Google assistant
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mrmodzix:
Does this mean that this ROM will become official now?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mrmodzix:
You can remap the Search (Bixby for S9) button to these. BxActions doesn't work on LOS. I'm on official LOS 15.1 btw.

Out of curiosity, what is the reason you use both hands to power off your phone when using the power button?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Clownboy:
Hello all!

My father in law bought an Honor 8X recently as he really liked the reviews.

In fact he really loves the phone, apart from one thing.....

The led notification light is practically non-existent!! I can barely notice it even if I'm staring at it and looking for it!! It's genuinely pathetic!

I've looked at all the settings and they seem to be on and matching mine (9 lite) but my led notification light is bright and pulses, his is weak and really just a dull pin-prick hole.

Are all 8Xs like this? Is his phone defective or is there a hidden tweak that I'm missing??

Really appreciate any help you can send.

Thanks in advance.!! :o
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Matteo Mit.:
Same here (and I don't think phone is defective. I think it works that way by construction)

Inviato dal mio Honor 8x utilizzando Tapatalk
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Clownboy:
Thanks I appreciate the answer.

I just don't understand the purpose of a notification light that you can't see so it doesn't actually notify you !!

Seems pointless to have one if you can't actually see it!
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Clownboy:
Is there an application that can help here?

Or any other suggestions?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Not really, probably.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Clownboy:
Thanks. That's really helpful.

Your answer has changed my life.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Jovanz:
Well, this might be down to my personal preference, but i really like my notification lights to be on the subtle side.

Calling this flaw, well, more of a design choice, genuinely pathetic is really a bit on the overreacting side of things.

Also Shashank1320's answer was precise and to the point, really no need to get sarcastic. He didn't help because there is no solution to this since the phone was physically built that way.

However, in my experience with huawei/honor, my p9 lite had a slightly misaligned led light, compared with my friends' phones it was slightly duller when being loomed at head-on, but then again, i prefer it that way so didn't complain about it.

So, to sum up, you could compare it with another 8x and if it's different try to get a new one if you guys still have its warranty, but that's it.

Also, the chance of led being misaligned is pretty low so... Take a loot at Shashank1320's comment again and realize that it was (most probably) not given with any ill intent.

And even if it was, it's still the true answer.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Very well summed up. Thanks for your understanding.

Well, I own 10+ honor phones with me and 2 Honor 8X and I know the LED is dim and there is no solution at all as this is due to physical hardware presence. I have the same thing on my Honor 8( launched 2 years back) and there is no solution at all. Software or custom ROM can only help in getting the brighter blink or different colours for different app notification.

We deal with such sarcastic comments very often on XDA and I saw he is new to the forum so that's ok, we understand.

But, thanks again for your understanding and clarifying the things.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
I have the Honor 8X Max whilst my cousin has the smaller 8X.

The 8X Max LED light is much much bigger and brighter whereas the notification light on his 8X is small and dim.

ok im new to all this crap but skilled in computers and i was wandering if i got the i760 would i be able to make it look some thing like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnV7zZ6kF7s

and what kinda mods can i do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Ok, ok, ok.

Step 1: Install S2U2, this is the locking screen, first part of vid.

Step 2: Install Ultimate Launch ($$$) or iTask or iFonz or WisBar ($$$).

Step 3: Find all the graphics and customize the way you want. Each app is fully customizable, and would be quite easy to create this theme, the only obstacle is finding all the icons to match, unless you can make. There is also a forum dedicated to changing the slider and other graphics for S2U2.

Whoa!! Relax, of course you'll get help, that's a big reason for the forum.

The 4 apps I mentioned will be your main launcher, just browse thru and find which you like, many many people have created launchers and themes to replicate the i****e. But it seems you don't have the phone yet, so get that first, install the different apps, and mess around a bit. Find what works fastest and fits your style. Then from there you need to find the images, background and icons.

Am I correct in seeing that there are no android 9/pie custom roms available?

The stock rom with magisk is great, but I really like the squeeze gesture... So, I'm assuming there's no way to get a rom that has squeeze without wiping my data? Does that make sense? There seems like there's some decent roms, but none that have the "Active Edge" enabled with pie? I don't particularly want to wipe all of my data to get a ROM that has activate Edge and awesome stuff like skip tracks with volume buttons Etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] seabro01:
There are several Pie custom ROMs for this phone. Dirty Unicorns recently released update with active edge working. I'm sure other ROMs will eventually add the feature.

Wipe Data for First Time Custom ROM Install

Yes, you should be prepared to wipe your data in order to install a custom ROM in replacement of stock -- and get a good level of stability. As someone had suggested, you can backup your apps and data and restore your data/settings (with care) once the custom ROM is installed and setup. In any case, read and follow the custom ROM's instructions, as it relates to wipes and data handling.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] woolfman:
Hello,

this is the first time ever I bricked a phone. I wanted to update my new P10 with stock ROM and Android 7.0 to Oreo.

I used a guide posted on STECH "Download Huawei P10 B384 Oreo Firmware Update (Europe)", which also included all download links.

Bootloader unlocked, phone already rooted. Then I flashed "update.zip" in TWRP and suddenly I got an error message, after that the next file would quit flashing with an error as well.

Since then my phone hangs and says:

Attention!

Please update system again

Error!

Func NO: 10 (boot image)

Error NO: 2 (load failed!)

Can somebody please send me the correct files, so that I get at least a working 7.0 version again?

Regards,

Wolf
