[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mitachibana:
Hello everyone, I had a quick question.

For those with experience using Android Pie/One on the Note 9, how is it? Do you think it is better than Oreo 8.1 overall? Battery life?

I have the 960F/DS Singapore model with Exynos (512GB model, currently using Japan Softbank SIM). I received notification to update to Android One. I have postponed it but fear that it will force itself upon me soon. I typically like to keep my phones on the original OS version it was released with and am considering rooting the Note 9 to avoid the upgrade.

Its a tough choice. I used to root a lot but the stock Note 9 is the first phone that seemed to not require root. My unlocked model barely had any bloatware on it! Not even a calculator app!

Arigatou from Japan!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
You shouldn't call it Android One, that's something completely different. The Note 9 Pie update is called One UI.

How is it? There's multiple threads asking this, here's some:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/help/downgrading-to-oreo-8-1-official-pie-t3897013

I can understand keeping older phones on their original Android versions but IMO, the Note 9 should have had Pie/One UI on release.

Also you can now easily de-bloat phones without root now with ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mitachibana:
Thanks for your help! I tried searching the forum before posting but I must have searched wrong.

I ended up doing the Android Pie update. In the end, it would be unwise to pass up on future updates, especially for this feature packed phone. So far so good. The interface is a little too apple like however.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Good choice in updating to One UI. Since if you did root the it would need you to unlock your bootloader and that will trigger the Knox safety thingy in the chip making Knox permantely disabled after and then you cannot use any of the Knox features like Samsung pass, Samsung Pay, secret folder and I think even encryption is protected by Knox which probably makes it broken aswell but I could be wrong on that part. But apps using Knox wont function anymore since they require working Knox, to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rajil.s:
To be clear, unlocking the bootloader (OEM unlock) does not cause knox to get tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Wrong it does trip the Knox chip even Samsung themselves have warned about it.

Even users out there who have unlocked their bootloader have had their 0x0 status triggered to 0x1 on their Knox when unlocking bootloader (OEM) - simply as that doing it avoids the warranty. This is why it triggers Knox to show Samsung authorized technicians that this phone no longer have warranty.

But some have said status have simply bugged and stayed as 0x0 but Knox chip itself is still triggered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rajil.s:
I have an unlocked bootloader but my knox is not tripped. Samsung Pay and Secure folder still work for me.

Phone Info app also shows Knox is not tripped!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willcor:
Firstly,

I agree fully with [MENTION=4942826]rajil.s[/MENTION] post above.!

if you "talking" about OEM unlock /Bootloader, trips Knox, then you are incorrect or confused or under a wrong impression.?

I have multi times unlock ( OEM) my Bootloader ( but did not root)

I have done this with my old and current Note devices.

I even "tested" OEM unlocking regarding the disappearance of the OEM option, when factory reseting. (this was a big issue in the Note 8 forum, you can read my post, i posted at that time )

I locked and unlocked the OEM option in Developers Settings, multiple times.

No tripping of Knox but yes, if you go further rooting... !

All my devices is still 0 x 0 .

Knox intact.

Also i have apps eg Samsung Pay all working fine.

Good luck.

Why Mi A2 is not supported for Google ARCore. Moto One Power has the support even at lower hardware specifications than this device. Recently Google has also added support for new devices, still Mi A2 is left out.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] yordlegunner:
well, since ARcore is a software thing, you can bypass it to work if you have root, i did it and worked on mine, i can use AR+ in pokemon go, the only reason i wanted it, and it have no lags what so ever...

i have no idea why it isn't supported...works perfectly just as it does on the supported phones.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] cbasCL:
hi, you have some tutorial or guide to do this?, I tried some mods with Magisk (no specifically for Mi A2, I didn't found it), differents version of ARCore, but unsuccessfully, I want to use AR+ with PoGo too :( thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] yordlegunner:
i just installed this module called Daydream Bypass, there's a thread about it, but i couldn't find to link, i sent you a link as private message, because the forum didn't allow me to post it here..

go to your maggsk modules and install it using the + button..after that you just restart and install ArCore on pthe play store and clear the data of your pokemon go app
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] BassB:
Search this: ARCore, AR Stickers, and Playground for Unsupported Devices, then just follow the steps in 2nd section (Phones without official ARCore support, Option 1)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] onimorza:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] cbasCL:
thanks all for the help, works for me
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Kroingvr:
Hey, can you provide me more details on what method did you use to make it work? I followed the steps that provided at the link posted here, but the screen always goes black whenever I tried to use ar+ on pokemon go.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6931281:
Well, I'm officially cutting my hopes on waiting for them to add ARCore. So I invite everyone of you to follow Xiaomi's official twitter account and every time they tweet reply to them with #ARCore_For_Xiaomi_Mi_A2 . You don't need to put any text or something just include the hashtag. I hope that if we do that Xiaomi will finally hear us or give us a clue on why they're not adding ARCore to Mi A2.

Good luck :):good:

Also for the sake of being more serious I made a bug report on Google Issue Tracker with the following link :

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/134473346

Please go there and post your requests.

Let's get this done , if we stay together we'll definitely get what our phone deserves ...

..................................................................................................................................................

Edit : I'm very sad to inform you that there is simply no way to get Xiaomi to provide that. Also Google is not responsible for this so you can stop posting in Google Issue Tracker.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Noxhart:
Same. I done the entire process and nothing =(. Idk if that's because arcore was updated since their comments. I also don't see what the "option 1", mentioned previously, refers to.

Do I need to have fingerprint disabled?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Noxhart:
For whoever interested I made it work by following a guide to make camerapi to work and installing the google camera int he order of this guide from the " Enable camera2 api o" section. (Don't forget to clear store for the apps you are gonna reintall like the arcore if you already have it from trying the previous guide).

c.mi.com/thread-2169585-1-0.html

c.mi.com/thread-1883235-1-0.html

I think modifying the value for the camera through buildprop made the thing.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] onimorza:
They seem to have removed the different options, there is now only one option remaining. Just follow that link and select "# Phones without official ARCore support" and follow the steps. Worked for me.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/

Fingerprints in this case have nothing to do with your fingers but with the phone itself. You'll fake the phone fingerprint so ARCore thinks it's a Pixel 2 instead of a Mi A2.

Hello friends, the reason for this thread is to ask for help with a ROM / Firmware that I can not find anywhere.

This week I did a hard reset of my AW7M Viewpad tablet and for some reason after that it stopped starting (when turned on, only the Viewsonic screen remains). I tried to find a new ROM or the original to reinstall it, but I can not find the correct one since all the ones I found give an error when trying to install them.

Could you help me find some ROM / Firmware for the AW7M Viewpad?

Thank you!

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] can you bump up the linux stable version to latest one on the kernel? I started experiencing white screen flashes while waking the device after using the 3/3 kernel. This did not happen on Kirisakura, so flashed that back to check and yes it didn't happen anymore. I saw that your kernel is based on 4.9.124 while Kirisakura based on 4.9.161. Now I dont know if that is actually causing it or not but it's that difference I can see from outside, it's possible some other fixes/patches might also be there.

If anyone else experiencing the white flashes on the 3/3 build please ping.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sultanxda:

i got this very bizzare issue after flashing this kernel for the very first time, on every boot of the phone now, i get this message that my device *is* corrupt and blah blah but nothing is actually wrong with the phone (i also have to press the power button in order to continue the normal boot sequence), it didnt resolve even after flashing other kernels ( no data wiped, that is last resort :D) so i was wondering if anyone has any insight on this cuz it really bugs me every time ?
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] robocuff:
That's not because of the kernel. It's because you have an unlocked bootloader. The message is normal after unlocking the bootloader. That said, it's harmless and there's nothing you can do about it. Well, other than relock your bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] luckana:
Yeah but it didnt appear like that prior to flashing sultan. What i am talking about appears before the warning for the bootloader, and doesnt continue until the power is pressed

I don't know if it is just me, but your latest build seems to be plauged with a CPU frequency bug on the LITTLE cluster, because it gets randomly stuck at 652Mhz after a while, and never goes down to 300Mhz again when the screen isn't being used / interacted with, and a reboot is the only way to temporarily fix it.

Any idea on what the cause to this can be?
