[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rusty.gh:
I get the frustration, I think you may have some misplaced blame however. Right now I'm on Oreo Note 9, (SM-N960U1) root not possible, and wish I could stay on it, screw Pie and google. <-They are the ones you should be pointing at!

Hell, besides all the bugs on pie, they are the ones blocking us. Then there is that stupid apple-esque gestures, not to mention there terrible multitasking!! google has head-up you know what right now. (thank god Nova still works on pie)

Wait until you read about what Q is going to bring. Why in the hell is google going to help carriers by allowing SIM lock? nah, security or not, I've been saying for over two years now, google is not our friend. Sure I get it, revolutionary, and we all use them every day, but they are no longer a "good" company, but just after making money.

As far as Samsung locking down the bootloader, do you not think that the only way they can get our U.S. pile-o-crap carries to carry their phone, they have to? Hey I'm not sure about that, but I'd give it better the 70/30 that's why. Ya, you mentioned the same, and I agree, it's because of carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
Well, good for Samsung , Google and the carriers. This is going to be my last Samsung phone and through a carrier. It's either gonna be cheap mid-range phones or older iphone (like apple is any better lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] drbveb88:
I have got a n9 thats unrooted for my daily.. just picked up a lgv30 for my audio and rooting fixes.

I might as well just settle in for the long haul until international phones are rootable and working on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
So, I just spoke to the devs of swift installer and they confirmed that it will work on one UI. So, I hope that means substratum will work, too, maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
Phones are everywhere now and the competition is very hot in the market. Samsung and the carriers can shove their non rootable phones up there @#$#. Imagine having a non rootable Samsung phone and you wanted to keep it for a while, you're literally stuck on one firmware for as long as you have that phone knowing how horrible Samsung updates are.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] therebel88:
I'm running it on pie. It works for apps no problem. But system UI, settings, and some galaxy apps are not working right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
I think it's because of the dark mode on Pie. I hope they'll have a work around so we can theme the system with other colors beside black or white.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] therebel88:
Agreed. Hopefully once one of their devs gets the update it'll work again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bryanpen:
The international Snapdragon is rootable and should work on Verizon. It has all LTE bands needed. I have TWRP and a custom rom and it works great. Pretty soon there will be a custom pie rom once the update rolls out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] drbveb88:
I need to look into this... I have been out of the game for awhile. Thanks for info!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Venom0642:
It always worked on Pie, I'm on AT&T Note9 no root Snapdragon and same with my S9 and S9 Plus all have pie and Substratum and Andromeda works here's some pictures on Note9. Also Swift For Samsung and Wings font work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Limeybastard:
I can see google eventually locking so much down that the difference between an IOS device and an android would be just in the name.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bobby_digital234:
Highly unlikely. More like Android will live in the open source world while Andromeda or whatever the new os turns into will be locked as you say. But in either case it's the carriers who do all this not the phone makers or Google... You can't sell fully unlocked and rootable phones to business customers and just so you know business customers are much more important to us carriers. Plus there's a real issue when hackers are able to outwit the crummy software support at any Telecom company leaving themselves vulnerable. I love root but as time goes on and the handsets get better I worry more and more about security, I mean I already have just about any form of info pertaining to my life on my phone in ine way or another and keeping it difficult to crack puts me in a false sense of security I guess.lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] melchiar:
Some clarification please. Does upgrading to Pie lock bootloader? So we can't root?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
If you're on a carrier locked phone then the bootloader is already locked on regardless of what OS you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
True. I just tried wings fonts and they're working with no issue. Swift installer works, too. They're still polishing it for pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
Thanks for the clarification. You rock.

"dark theme on next version"

HAHAHA!

Coming soon, only for about three years....

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

This is what I'm hoping to do.

Turned off auto update, in DEVELOPER OPTIONS and hoping I can hold it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] le0.br4zuc4:
It has been confirmed by someone at Google, I think 9to5google broke the news but I cant remember for sure. You can clearly see it, since most Google apps already have a night mode toggle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pizza_pablo:
No offense meant, but we have been "promised" a dark them, "in next version of Android" for quite some time. Apparently pie has it, but it's it even fully implemented?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] le0.br4zuc4:
No no... I didn't take offense at all. I enjoy talking about these things. No worries. I to didn't mean to and still don't mean to offend. I don't think we've ever been promised. I remember reading in the past they were working on it. Beta builds have had it but removed when officially launched... That's not being promised to.

I think it's the first time we actually have someone saying that we'll have dark mode on the next major update. When we look at their apps, being updated with dark mode, their "research" saying white uses more battery (we all knew that) and the half assed dark mode (can't really call it theme) on pie... I believe system wide dark mode is finally coming.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pizza_pablo:
I don't think Google ever made any promises, but the talking heads sure did.

This foolishness is what always drove me to rooting.

I'm happy with a Verizon branded Note 9,now. It has the audio and theming that I rooted to get with pay phones. I'm happy with my setup on Oreo and don't want any changes. Time will tell if I can actually stop the pie update without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zorge.R:
I used custom fonts on Pie, no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wuzdat:
I have a note 9, no root, all stock on pie 9 - one ui & I theme entire phone & most of my apps with substratum, you can use parts of different themes to do certain apps like Google apps or Samsung apps, etc, I also have a Samsung theme running for the system ui
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jammol:
Correct. Samsung also has a built in Night Mode but it only supports the built-in Samsung Apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] taotechad:
How are you running Substratum? Im also on note 9 pie and cannot run it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lifesgreat:
note 9 on pie running substartum, wings, swift with no issues
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sinisin:
Substratum works with Andromeda installed. No adb required. Using it now. With custom font. Swift Installer. Good Lock. Totally custom on stock One UI Snapdragon. This thread is funny!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Guyinlaca:
Apparently the S10 and Pie updates for the S8/Note 8 do not support Substratum or Swift Installer. The S9 andNote 9 have it enabled so far, but this could change with future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zionator:
U r posting in the wrong forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
How is this the "wrong forum" and it's clearly talking about a note 9 theming subject? It's been too long for mods to haven't noticed and moved this to the "right forum".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zionator:
Because this post u started is a discussion. So therefore it belongs in the discussion section. You have posted in theme, apps and mods section. Your post offers none of those.

I have. different modles of the U1version Sammy note 9.so installed the same blk theme on bolth..one is now in black death mode.and the other I'm useing Rt now,:silly::(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gruuvin:
Was running Oreo + Substratum + Swift, just so I could have a Dark Mode style theme, and here is what I had to go through: diabled auto-updates on apps (or else overlays are broken), about every month I had to do a TWRP backup, disable all Substratum/Swift overlays, just so I can update 50 apps, build and enable all the overlays I was running (remembering this is a PIA), and cross my fingers that my themes all work again, then delete the oldest backup (I usually keep the two most recent).

The last time I went through this, I decided to skip the backup process (here comes Mr. Murphy), and guess what happened. Substratum force-closes on open, unless I clear config and re-build, and then it still force-closes after every clear-config/rebuild.

So, I am over it... I bought the Note9 (in part) for P+OneUI+Theme, and AndroidQ will hopefully make this even better. It's about time! This should have been a feature seven years ago!

Do I like third-party theme engines? NO! So, it's BEYOND time for Dark Mode to be baked into the OS and a feature of EVERY app.

Hi,

I would like to buy a good impact screen protector for otterbox defender note 9.

I really drop my phone very often, so I need a good screen protector.

Can you give a some advice please?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nivisan:
Hi,

I never had an amoled screen but I heard that you can get burn-in on those screen.

So I avoided phone with amoled but I really like the note 9.

I would like to know if it easy to get burn-in when you use app like google maps, with your notifications bar (battery, ..), or onscreen nav button, ect...

Thanks for yous reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tedkord:
I've never gotten burn in on any AMOLED phone I've owned (Galaxy S3, Note 4, Note 5, S7 Edge, Note 8, S9 (three of them) and the Note 9). I use the phone a lot.

Is it possible? Sure. LCD is possible, too. Just don't keep static images onscreen for hours on end
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sputnik767:
I've had an AMOLED phone since the Galaxy S2, and have kept each phone for at least 1-3 years. By my count that is the S2, S3, S4, S5, S7 Edge, and now the Note 9. I have been using Google Maps and Navigation on all of these devices, and I have never experienced any screen burn in. Not once. In fact, I have never heard of it being an issue. Yes, I knew it could happen, but I have never heard of it happening outside of isolated cases. The Note 9 has one of the best displays of any phone out there, don't let this non-issue stop you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
When I first get my AMOLED Smartphone/Tablets I never use brightness over 20 to 30% I run it like that for about 3+ months. I blend the displays in, well that’s my theory!

I have a Tab S 8.4 LTE my daily driver! It’s over 4 + years old! Not a mark of screen burn in see it all depends how you use your display! I’ve seen people complaining there AMOLED display have burn in 2 months in! But when you ask them where the brightness set to 80% was even 100% it’s too bright it hurts your eyes!

You don’t need 80% TO 100% unless your real blind ? Seriously use your phone sensibly you will be fine pp.’s I’ve done many 8+ hour round trip Google maps on my TAB S 8.4 there’s no sign of burn in on my AMLOED display!! AMOLED IS KING!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sputnik767:
Just leave the brightness on auto. In full sunlight in my car, the screen is maximally bright. On long trips, that may be for 8 hours at a time or more. That's not a routine thing for me, but still never any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] LitoNi:
that was one thing i was worried about too, this is my first samsung/amoled phone. I have read here and there, some people get burn ins as early as one week of usage and some never, cant say every screen is perfect and everyone uses their phones differently.

a small tip, what i have done is using the app "routine" to set my brightness to 35% and auto rotate on when connected to bluetooth of my car. It locks it at that brightness, and of course you can manually turn it up if you wish. this saves me the trouble when the phone auto adjust it to max most of the time.

if youre worried just for that one app ie. google maps, you can set it so that only when you launch that app and connected to that specific bluetooth to lock in the brightness at 35%.

I have also set my google maps night mode always on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nivisan:
thanks for your reply.

Can you tel me more about your app "routine"? Because I didnot find it on the play store.

Tablet, Cant connect to Samsung Watch Active in Wearable App

same problem here:

Samsung Watch Active, >>

Asked Samsung Community but I think its a hacky one because they dont support tablets...

>>

I can connect it in the Health App I got everything from apkmirror.com:

Samsung accessory 3.1.93

Gearplugin 2.2.07

Watchmanager 2.2.24

The problem is that Samsung Health app uses Wearable app (Watchmanager 2.2.24 ) to configure it I think. Because Code exchange for pairing works fine. (Bluetooth, BLE works)

1. But it gets stuck on the watch saying:

->On Samsung Smart Watch (Active)

"Check your phone to complete setup"

2. Tablet shows of course a error:

"Check whether your system software is compatible or needs to be aupdated, then try again."

The newest wearable App(

Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) 2.2.24.19031361

Tablet, Samsung Wearable App (rules.xml)

I found a rules.xml File in the

com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_2.2.24.19031361-2119031361_minAPI18(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

[1.0] This guy managed to sign it so it runs on his phone:

getgui.com/blog/android/how-to-connect-use-pair-samsung-gear-fit2-devices-less-than-1-5gb-ram/

There it is in every watch rule the tablet is disabled ->:

supportTablet="false"

<module-info containerName="com.samsung.android.gearpplugin" pluginName="com.samsung.android.gearpplugin">
<devices>
<group name="Galaxy Pulse">

</group>
</devices>
<additional-packages>
<package onlyForNonSamsung="true" optional="false">com.samsung.accessory</package>
</additional-packages>
</module-info>

For comparing the earpods are enabled:

supportTablet="true"

I tried to edit the rules.xml with Notepad++ and signed it with my own key so I can install it but ofcourse thats not working the app starts and says:

Signed it like this: URL: dzone.com/articles/android-solution-install-parse-1

On the page [1.0] the guy is telling:

If you have a Samsung phone and are getting “The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Galaxy Wearable app. Check your operating system and try again.” error click here.

The reason for this error is that the Galaxy Wearable app does some additional security checks when installed on a Samsung phone and refuses to start due to its package signature mismatch. To get around this issue, phone needs to present itself to the Galaxy Wearable app as a non-Samsung device. This can be accomplished by modifying the build.prop file; phone needs to be rooted in order to do this.

1. Install BuildProp Editor from Play Store

2. When BuildProp Editor app is started for the first time, Super User dialog box may open and ask if you wish to grant root access to it. Select Grant or Allow

3. Open the BuildProp Editor app, scroll to the ro.product.brand and ro.product.manufacturer entries and change both values from samsung to HTC or some other brand.

2. Reboot your phone, open the BuildProp Editor app again and check if changes are still there. If entries were not reverted back to samsung after reboot, Galaxy Wearable app should now open without issues.

Hi Folks

bought a charmer off ebay that worked but had an old rom on so i have put the latest image. It works fine as a pda but the radio will not work. I get full strength signal but immediately disconnects when i make a call and i cannot receive either. Does this sound like a fault with the phone?

The original radio on it did work but did peculiar things like sms me a dialling code upon reset.

The GPRS is fine as i can surf the net.

I have also upgraded to WM6 to try something else but again everything fine apart from the radio.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

thanks

Simply try a littlebit older RadioROM. I think you can get it at Prophet's wiki.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
[MDA Compact II General] ChrBeck:
It can be a hardware problem. But because he can browse the web and the original radio rom was working (OK a littlebit strange he says) I think it is software. He can't do much wrong if he trys a littlebit older radio rom and if that doesn't work it is a hardware problem. Try the older radio rom and tell us if it works.
