[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Odddollar:
Is there a way to enable the camera2 API on the moto g5s plus xt1805 version? The methods I've found that edit the build.prop file require root. I've tried one-click root methods but all have failed. I want to avoid a custom recovery or a custom rom.

Any replies appreciated
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Juancasa14:
You cannot avoid rooting your phone if you want to enable cam2api, therefore you must unlock your bootloader and get a custom recovery in case you want this. DO NOT TRY ONE CLICK METHODS, these don't work for this phone, not a single one of them. Also don't be afraid of rooting your phone, if you follow every step correctly you won't have any trouble. You also don't need to use a custom rom, you can root stock and keep it unmodified if you wish, but you will still lose warranty and OTA updates with a custom recovery.

PLS Help!

I alreday rollbacked my p10 to B327 from 9.0 by HiSuite

And then the thread PSA: Don't downgrade from latest firmware versions (GPU Turbo) Scared me before proceed to rollbacke again

The fancy brick will be approached if I didn't stop downgrade my phone immediately and thanks for the warnning [MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION] :D

It's hard to forget Nougat really:(

How can I downgrade p10 to Nougat by safety operation？

My P10 status：

bootloader locked（unlock code got）

B372 official firmware （B361 was 1st firmware versions accession GPU Turbo TECH）

thanks for help！
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] ante0:
You can't. Since bootloader was updated on Oreo you can only go back to the oldest build with new bootloader.

You can install board firmware, but you would have to update to the build that introduced new bootloader, else it bricks again.

I also doubt Huawei would allow some way to downgrade that far, as it would be a "security" risk. (for them, as you could acquire bootloader unlock code that way. You still can on board firmware but that requires testpoint which voids warranty)
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] lukastob:
[MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION] I have bricked vtr-l29 probably because of the 02 switch in xloader you've mentioned. Do you think it would be possible to unbrick with testpoint and board firmware with modified xloader taken from after gpu patch firmware?

Does anyone know how to skin the Windows Media Player? I have tried a few time but none of the skins work. :(

I've done it only once, a while ago and don't quite remember sorry but why do you wanna do it? the new wmp skin is pretty nice :P

well i have installed the new pointui 1.51 and they have a skin that fits the theme

Yup, Just try these 2 files. One of them looks like the WMP11 and the other is pretty sick. Check them out.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
That actually does look pretty sick.

How do you install these? I kinda forgot lol :(
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Just unzip them to your directory where media player skins are. It's in Program Files\Windows Media Player.

Try placing the entire folder in that directory. If that doesnt work, all you have to do is just place all of the files in each of the folders into that directory. Don't worry about the duplicate .thumbs files. It doesn't matter what you have. Enjoy:)cool

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] djmedvedd:
Guys, have you heard about SGS9+ Selfie Camera bug, that formed after the February firmware update?

I'm talking about auto-focus of the front camera at the very close range. The phone simply does not want to focus on the object when it is too close to the camera. Its a bug (and not only on my side, i've asked plenty of peoples that confirmed the bug), because phone could do it before the February update. Here is some of mine photo examples of the front camera shots, fuzzy image - Galaxy S9+, sharp image - Galaxy S8.

Same thing here
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] djmedvedd:
As far as i know, March update (that currently LIVE on German Galaxy S9) - WON'T fix this issue. The same fuzzy images at the close range still.

We have to somehow let Samsung Support know about this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tdevaughn:
Just call Samsung support and report your findings
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] djmedvedd:
Already, but all they said to me - do wipe cache \ hard reset and go to the Service Store for warranty issue, our Support does not want to admit the problem, they said they don't have this issue. But its not true.

I think we have to somehow together report to Samsung Support so they really pay attention to this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] MrDusan:
It actually happens at no matter which distance. Even when I move my face further away and try manually focusing on it, it ends up blurry. But auto focus works even when on close distance. This is a bug for sure, since the camera actually CAN focus the object on auto focus.

I wrote to samsung on samsung members app for a different bug regarding the navigation gestures, and first they said the same just to make a factory reset. After that I told them that I am a long - term samsung user and I know how to use my phone, explained that I already did a factory reset, explained the issue again and also attached a screen recording of the problem, and after that they said that they will make sure it reaches the development department.

So - just tell them that you already did everything that you as a user can do, and send proof that it actually is a bug.

I'll write to them.

Lets unite, people! :D

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] marstonpear:
Mi A2 Lite is an Android One device, meaning you don't have many customisation options, so I don't think there is a way to hide the clock on lockscreen. You can search for lockscreen apps on Play Store, which change your lock screen to a 3rd party app (most of them aren't as stable as stock though) :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] republicj:
Hey guys,

I'm not very familiar with this scene, but I have learned the very basics of using Odin and custom recovery, flash etc.

I rooted my phone via custom rom / TWRP/ Magisk and it was all happy days until I ran into trouble with Google Pay and Starling Bank. I tried so manydifferetn fixes as suggested here but the consensus is that it's just not something that is possible at the moment. It looks like it'll be a cat and mouse game forever, and I just want to take the blue pill and go back to stock.

So, I went to get my stock rom at sam mobile. SM-G950F. Happy to hang up the gloves and start afresh. I was on Oreo both prior and post root, but I said YOLO and downloaded the stock 9.0 pie for BTU. I flashed clean with CSC and everything, and it's all groovy and I thought I was just back to stock.

BUT GOOGLE PAY SAYS IM ROOTED / modified / security check thing. Starling bank so far is working. Google pay (and samsung pay, which I don't use), says I'm not good to go.

Will this be the same if I go download the 'stock' 8.0 instead of 9.0? (Does that make a material difference? I know some of my apps aren't working so I may go back down anyway, but would that be something that trips google pay up?) Did I bust my root cherry to never return again? Must I carry around plastic for all eternity?

Please send help.

Love,

J

my question is:

what are the substantial differences between the exynos version and the snapdragon version? :confused:

I am italian, and I don't want the exynos model because battery life and reception are worse than the snapdragon version.

the cheapest way to have a snap version is to take a Chinese one, sm-g9730, and I'd like to know from those who understand more than me what the differences would be compared to a European s10.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] axorazor:
Hi, thanks for the reply. Besides the hardware differences, are there any relevant software differences?

For example, the galaxy store, or the store of themes or other software limitation.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] GuestK00136:
The main one I can think of is Samsung Pay.

There are varied experiences from across the community. Some people able to get it to work in regions not intended for their device whereas others are not.

Galaxy Store and Themes will work irregardless of where you are located. Rooted or not.

As for choosing the Snapdragon over Exynos, it appears you actually lose a network band in Italy (Band 32 - 1500). See attached image.

Band 32 is a downlink which means you're losing faster download capabilities by choosing Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] axorazor:
is this band missing on both the Chinese and US versions?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] GuestK00136:
Yes. Only available on the Exynos. If your Carrier doesn't utilize this band, you're not losing anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] axorazor:
my carrier,vodafone, uses this band for "4.5G", but honestly 4G + is already quite fast and 4.5G where I live I've never seen it (my current phone supports it)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] GuestK00136:
Fair enough. You'll now need to decide if you can live with or without the potential benefits of faster downloads.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] axorazor:
I have one last doubt. some users of an Italian forum have questioned whether the g9730 is able to correctly aggregate band 20 to hook up the 4g plus.

someone in possession of a samsung s10 / s10 + / s10e HK / Chinese could test if the phone aggregates band 20 when it is in 4g +?

there is an app in the play store, network cell info lite, when you open it in the first panel there is an indication of the aggregate bands.

thank you

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] adzinator:
Hello I have been a lifelong xperia z compact fan, but due to the the awesome camera on the p9 and its similar screen size I am thinking of switching :) Have some questions that are not clear atm.

- I am used to rooting but it seems that on p9 rooting is only possible with android 6? if i buy a second hand phone with android 8 it is possible to downgrade and root? from what i have read about the p10 it is not possible.

- I noticed that the latest custom EMUI roms are android 7, Is there a big emui interface upgrade with android 8? I am primarly intersted in the camera, with the android 8 is there an improvement in camera quality/camera interface? Do people prefer older versions (6) for battery life or camera quality?

- Someone made the point that these days rooting is less usefull apart from tinkering, the only reason is a proper adblocker, do many users here decide that the latest 8.0 version is worth it over rooting?

- Do any lineage/aosp etc roms have huawei camera ported?

thank you
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
- Rooting by SuperSU is possible also with Nougat - but SuperSU is no more updated and bacame obsolete nowadays.

Rooting by Magisk is possible with Nougat and Oreo.

Not sure about Marshmallow but Nougat and Oreo definitely cannot be rooted by King(o)Root or so

- If not stuck with the wrong cust, your P9 should be already updated to Nougat (EMUI 5) - even if stuck with, you can rebrand and then upgrade by OTA to the latest stock Nougat.

Only for Chinese cust, P9 will be updated to Oreo (EMUI 8) - but you can also rebrand to and enjoy AL10 c00 Oreo (latest b540 OTA Patch02), with easy modifications it becomes fully 'internetional' (with all languages, Playstore, ready for Google Assistant, international 3G/4G bands, etc) and you can additionally patch Face Unlock (not supported by stock Chinese Oreo, neither by OpenKirin custom ROMs - see further below):

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849

- For rebranding and/or rooting you must unlock Bootloader. Code cannot be obtained (and for free) from Huawei anymore, but can be purchased for 4-5 Euros from Ministry of Solutions or DC Unlocker:

https://ministryofsolutions.com/paid-services/amp

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial

- There are OpenKirin Treble ROMs based on LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix and Omni Oreo or even Pie - installation requires first to (rebrand and) update to stock Oreo:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/roms-openkirin-aosp-collection-t3828806

- Besides the AdAway root app and e.g. Magisk module YouTube Vanced, Magisk might be needed or useful if you rebrand and update to Chinese Oreo.

Namely, you must keep the Bootloader unlocked which blocks SafetyNet (and consequently e.g. GPay - not sure if GPay and NFC are supported and by which OpenKirin ROM, it also changes with their updates).

Hence, Magisk hides the unlocked Bootloader, device shows as certified and passes SafetyNet, and you can use GPay on the rebranded and patched EMUI Oreo.

- With (rebranded) stock Oreo, battery is actually better than with stock Nougat.

Cannot tell you about Marshmallow (used ir only short and long ago).

AFAIK, stock Camera with all its features is not (fully) supported by OpenKirin ROMs (used and tested only one of them for a day or two, and few months ago)

PS: If buying a new P9, you can think of dual SIM L19/L29 - but be aware, unlike single SIM L09, dual SIM lacks NFC reader.

Or even about bigger display P9 Plus - all about rebranding, patched Chinese Oreo, OpenKirin ROMs, etc, also applies to:

I recommend getting a P10 instead. But if you can get it for really cheap, the P9 is a very high value phone. Buy phone. Buy DC Unlocker credits. Unlock. Rebrand. Update. Patch. Enjoy Treble and Android O/P.

Thank you so much for the replies guys, yes after doing some more research will buy a p10 second hand, it has a headphone jack, compact screen and great camera very hard to find! unf i read that after a recent firmware update it is now impossible to unlock bootloader from unlockbootloader site . :(
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Be careful (if you plan to do rooting/modding), for some newer Huawei phones, already coming with Android 8 or 9, it is no more possible to unlock Bootloader for free or for 4-5 Euros but only for 30 Euros

And this is not about 'missing that phone from the bootloader codes site, but due to the fact that Huawei switched for them (during the last 6-9 months) to the new and different Bootloader

It might be also questionable what kind of modding is possible at the moment on some of the newest phones with newest firmwares

Not sure does this new Bootloader apply to P10, and does that new Bootloader come by OTA to old P10 phones (better check here on XDA but on the P10 forum)

However, P9 phones do not come and do not get OTA updated with that new Bootloader (even if you rebrand to Chinese Oreo and get its OTA updates), Bootloader code can be bought for 4-5 Euros and modding (incl. rebranding, rooting, etc is possible)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ljg600:
By Samsung"s own admission, it's S10 FP sensor is not ready for prime-time. As with any technology that is released to the general public that is not fully realized- there are conflicting reports. Some report it works great- just muscle memory. Samsung asserts it learns and adapts. Others report it fails- screensavers (including the one that came with it), a sensitivity setting, dry hands, scratches, excessively wet hands, precise finger placement and even the memory state of the phone (reboot), are all factors. Or perhaps you have a bad phone- or bad finger(s).

It seems that users are essentially beta testers. As with the S8 pink screen, the FP sensor is awaiting another software update- after the first one that occurred minutes after setting up the phone- and was clearly inadequate. Of course making the sensor less picky- might make it less secure- hence the delay in the longer term "fix." And as in the case of the pink screen, the fix was not as good as better hardware.

The problem however with the S10/S10+, is that the other options such as face unlock or entering a password/pattern are flakey, cumbersome and/or insecure. And this makes the user experience a bit dangerous and frustrating- diverting attention to the frustrating act of unlocking the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ljg600:
Removing the screen saver may help. Also, the screen saver the S10 comes with is cheap and reduces optical quality and responsiveness.

I was playing with my phone today and was thinking. Bad. Bad things happen when I think.

How hard would it be to create a program that uses the phone's camera as the background? In essence, making the phone "invisible" in that you can see things behind it while still staring intently at the screen.

Just wondering. It's useless, and probably will kill the battery faster than streaming youtube at full brightness while using the phone to calculate the cure for cancer. But I think it would be a great conversation piece.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] salahnajm:
