[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Wendigogo:
Hello,

I searched a lot but didn't find a clear answer :

If I flash via Odin a firmware with OXM multi-CSC will it change my current OGC multi-CSC?

Do I have to use HOME_CSC_OXM or CSC_OXM file in Odin for that to happen?

Do I have to have my sim card inserted while flashing firmware?

Will KNOX still be untriggered?

I have a blur idea of answers but I need to be sure before proceeding.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT : to be clearer I want to switch to N950FXXS5CSA6/N950FOXM5CRK1/N950FXXU5CRK4/N950FXXS5CSA6 (XEF CSC) from N950FXXS5CSA2/N950FOGC5CRJ5/N950FXXU5CRK4/N950FXXS5CSA2 (FTM CSC). Both are Android 8 versions but I'm not on Orange network anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Braxos:
When first entering a new sim after resetting the phone from a different country then the phone then it will ask you that it has detected a sim from another country and if you would like to change to that CSC, if you choose yes then the phone will go to recovery and apply the SIM CARD CSC and restart. On reboot the phone will have the csc of the sim you have used.

Example

You have a German bought with csc dbt/dbt/dbt and you use a United kingdom sim card, after applying the sim card csc, the phone will have dbt/dbt/btu csc .

Hope it helped a bit

P.S. you have to reset the phone to get that dialog when inserting a new sim card. First and one time only dialog. Each time you want a new csc you have to reset the phone .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Wendigogo:
Thanks for your help.

Will this work if my multi-CSC doesn't include my current sim card CSC operator? My OGC include these CSC : AMO FTM OPV ORO ORS but my sim card is on BOG CSC ... and I'm looking to have the more generic XEF CSC.

Enjoy !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Braxos:
It has to include the sim card csc so it can change to that.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Hello,

First of all - I'd like to thank everybody for their support especially Kavana and Ricky for cooking these 6.1 ROMS. Wonderful Job !

Secondly, I finally got to installing 6.1 but still haven't made any modifications except restore sms/contacts and install smart tool kit. I love it - it's pretty fast compared to wm6.

The issues that I'm having is the following:

1) Colors - Say if i want Sliding Panel as my theme, how do i go about getting a black one and having a black background - sorry if it's been covered already.

2) SMS - I had almost 200 + SMS from my girlfriend that i had backed up and after installing 6.1, i restored them all only to find out, everything is in order now that is - for example

all incoming sms organized into sub-folders.

A

B

C

Even though this is cool, I don't prefer it and would like to go back to how it used to be before, that is all sms sorted by date - i'm having a hard time reading all her sms so if someone can please tell me what to do in regards to this, that'd be great.

3) Finally, I find that the system fonts pretty small compared to wm6, what can i do to change this?

For now, I think this will be all. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me solve these issues.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
hmm, noone has a solution? I'd really appreciate it.
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Some Resolution

Answers:

1) Go to settings, home. Select Sliding Panel. Under the section that says color scheme, select black. Also, as far as having a black background, find one you like. Open it with your phone using file explorer. Select it as homescreen under the menu tab using the right soft key.

2) No help here

3) Edit your xml code and select different fonts for what pieces you want. You might also have to look at your .cpr file and edit it as well. Just use notepad to edit either one of these. Just look in the file for lines that refer to fonts like Lucidia Grand, or Times New Roman, etc. You get the picture? I hope so, good luck.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Thanks for your help!

LOL - I feel like a noob, even though i've done pretty much everything with this phone with WM6, i guess 6.1 cause of the new interface and all - i figured everything i wanted so far, haven't gotten the fonts yet but will do so but yeah got the sms threading disabled, got rid of clockontop, changed my background etc.

Iam using realme 2 from 6 months but now its giving me problem...iam unable to get internet speed on any network or wifi...it dont cross speed more than 20kbps....

Does anyone facing this issue?

Or is it my hardware issue?
[Oppo Realme 2 Questions & Answers] riyan65:
I don't face any issue like your, try doing a format. If the problem still persist then go for service centre as it should be in Warrent, if you know how to flash it then go for flashing it will solve your problem. Because mostly they are going to flash to your device, not more than that.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
While I found some good info in the 'state of root for the XZ3' Q&A, that does not work well using the XDA Labs app, and I want to be sure I know what's going on before I do something stupid.

To my understanding from a news update on XDA here, the XZ3 camera does not break when unlocking. So, here are the steps I believe I need to take (EU version from Clove)

1) Unbox, connect to my wifi and run the updates. Update level I need is at least 52.0.A.84.

2) Checkbox for unlocking now available (under development section). Unlock the bootloader. (camera works after this)?

3) Update firmware to 52.0.A.126 via xperafirm

If I want TWRP / Root

4) Install TWRP per instructions (I read that this breaks Camera again)

5) Install TWRP camera fix

6) Install Magisk and the module to fix DRM.

As I understand it, even the DRM fix will not bring back some of the Sony stuff - Triluminous display settings, xreality, dynamic contrast enhancer, LDAC audio? and dolby ATMOS? If anyone can test those and see if they work, that'd be awesome.

Are my steps correct? Am I missing anything?

TIA!
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] mufunyo:
It is the unlocking step that breaks the camera, not TWRP/Magisk.

Triluminos/X-Reality/Dynamic contrast are arguably "features" that you'd rather lose than keep. In 7 years of owning Xperia devices I have never used them. There is a generic "super-vivid" mode that replaces X-Reality after unlocking the boot loader:

LDAC doesn't appear to be affected, although I don't have a suitable device to test it with:

As for Atmos, I think I uninstalled that app immediately, and it looks like it's not available as an apk that I could find easily so I can't test it for you. I think it's unaffected by the unlock, though.

Glancing over at the camera fix thread on the XZ2 forum, it looks like 163 is safe to flash (instead of 126), but 202 is unknown. If you're unlocking anyway, you might want to test it and report back whether the camera fix still works on 202. If it doesn't, you can always use Newflasher to downgrade to 163. For the time being, I'm holding off on flashing anything as the main two things I would like are Resurrection Remix and a working port of GCam with Night Sight, both of which are unavailable for the XZ3 as of writing.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
Right, sorry. I meant to ask... from my reading the camera 'shouldn't' break. I suppose it's okay if it does as long as I can fix it.

Thanks for posting the screens / functional differences.

Bingo! I would LOVE to have RR, or maybe Slim available.. and yeah, a working GCAM would be amazing.

Hoping as prices fall this device gets in the hands of some more folks in the modding community... not that I have any complaints with all the work that [MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION] and others are providing!
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] mufunyo:
Working GCam will only be on AOSP-based ROMs like Lineage and RR, and depends on full Camera2 support.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] sev7en:
So, it is officially supported by SONY https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/

but which one are up to now the benefit we can get?
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
The warning is full of 'ifs' and 'may bes'. Honestly, there isn't much to dislike about Sony's ROM, so I really only want the unlocked bl to root and remove Facebook.

Root is becoming less of a requirement in my eyes, but you may find some need for it.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] sev7en:
I love that stock but I installed NOVA as now we lost also the themes...

I would get a better camera support as for the GCAM. The quality of the shoots of XZ3 is really poor. I did a comparison with my R1 and it is top-down everything.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
Just an update to my original post - .126 is the current US custom version. Because I want to use VOLTE on Tmobile, I'll be using that for my base. I'd like to update to 202, but I'll need to wait for Sony to catch up :)
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] amakuramio:
Camera Noise reduction isnt affected?
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] sonyxperiazp:
Unlocking under 202 does not affect
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Onkel Armus:
Hello! I'm researching which camera features are missing after unlocking this device. What I found out is: We have full Camera 2 support including RAW. So is everything fine now or is the image quality still not as good as on an unlocked device? I can't find any comparison photos.

What I also don't know yet is: Is good photo quality bound to the sony camera app or some driver or service?

Also I read about upgrading or downgrading the firmware to a target firmware to save keys for future use. I found no way to do this without unlocking the bootloader first.

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] blowingoff:
hey guys, i'm not a complete newbie about roms and flashing, etc. but treble is a whole new thing for me and I'm running into lot ot trebles (lol) and I hope someone helps me.

1. I dont need to do system wipe to flash GSI, right? only Factory Reset.

2. Also, I can get to use GApps and such, but my contacts, chrome, etc, would not sync. no matter what.

3. How can I know if the image can be flash over Oreo base, and what is this /vendor thing?

please help me, i've read a lot of guides but i can't quite figure it all out.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] pbteja:
Vendor is a partition similar to system where your device specific things stay which are no longer in system in treble. Such as camera libraries, gps,Bluetooth,wifi and links to firmware files. When a gsi is flashed to system , it will read the information present in vendor, so you will need to flash vendor first via treble ROM or vendor image and then flash a gsi after wiping system.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Just FYI, signal strength is probably one of the biggest influences on battery life. If you're in a concrete building where the signal is very weak, the phone could be constantly polling for a stronger/closer tower. Using WiFi at work, if available, will help mitigate that.

7 hours sleep lost 20% flight mode is off, I still think 20% idle is very high
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
That is high, i had same issues.. i was losing around 40% over 12 hour period! 4g on Sync On that's it everything else off..

My NOTE 9 was only few weeks old come to week 4 i had a replaced.. Before having it replaced week 4 battery got much better i was losing around 4-5% over a 12 hour period.

i still got it replaced, one thing I’ve noticed it seems like Note 9 is learning your usage pattern.. Your battery will settle down, you just have to give it time.. Samsung usually offer 30 day replacement! so wait till you get into your mid 20s days if the battery isn’t normal get it replaced!

Just an observation in regards to deep sleep and signal strength. I've noticed if I place my note 9 in an area where I have the best signal before I got to bed , then less wake locks appear to occur. I've tried this theory a few times.

The absolute max should be 7% for 7 hours (1% per hour drain) and most of the time it should be around 3-4% for 7h. Most likely you have a rogue app on your phone that is causing the issue or you used package disabler to disable some packages in the operating system.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] ahovi achumi:
It's been two and a half years using zuk2 plus and I am mesmerized by the development support it has till now. I have used many budget xiaomi Redmi series phone in between but so far Zuk 2 plus beats them all in terms of Roms stability Developers made. A very big THANK YOU to all the developers for their hard work.

I'm planning to upgrade my phone which will have good developers support like this phone. ONE PLUS and Poco phones created so much hype but I want to try other phones running Qualcomm chipset.

My budget is between $350 - $500.

;) I'll still be using this phone till developers continue their support even if I get a new phone.

Your valuable opinion will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Confused with poco or one plus. One plus refresh their phone after ever six months and it becomes outdated quickly. Poco on the other hand is likely to release new phone this year anytime soon so If I am to go for Poco I think I should wait for the new update.

I wonder if there is any phone releasing flagship Qualcomm chipset in my budget this year ?.

Anyway, Thank you very much for recommending me.

I do agree on that.. however as of now I feel sd 845 is pretty good for next 2 years .. 855 would be too expensive with op as well.. rumors are quoting upwards of $600.. unless poco comes out with 855.. if you are ok to wait for that then go for 855.. otherwise 845 is the best as of now market..

Poco is with lcd where as op is with amoled meaning superior display .. poco has liquid cooling meaning less heat. Choose what goes for u

Does the Portrait mode works on Front camera? inst working for me on my S9 SM960F [ EXYNOS]. Despite this, the rest of the functions work perfectly.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ThePigletWhisperer:
Front camera will always be broken on stock Pie with Gcam until Samsung does something it.

As far as I understand gcam needs camera 2 API to do HDR+ on front cam which was supported for Oreo but not for Pie

To get portrait working properly on gcam you either need to go back to Oreo, as others have done, Root Pie and install libs which brakes stock cam AFAIK or install a custom ROM like LOS16 which apparently now is quite stable.

AR video not working

Hi all,

I have a (more or less) working gcam version (5.1.018.17***) on my G960F (Pie). I managed to install Playground (v.1.8) as well and all seam to work but I am unable to record video with AR stickers.

Photos are OK but videos are just a grey matrix of pixels... This issue only occures with AR stickers, not on normal videos with gcam.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thank you in advance!
