[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MalharB:
Download S8 India firmware extract CSC.

Install safestrap in S8 and then either raplace CSC manually in /system or make a zip of CSC and flash in safestrap. And delete OMC folder having original CSC. before changing anything make sure you backup efs partition in safestrap in case something goes wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Spiritualhoolign:
Thanks much man. But that would mean that i can't update my OS beyond nougat, isn't it?

This might sound stupid, but can i do the flashing using odin? or would that brick my device?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MalharB:
With safestrap you can have either rooted nougat or Oreo or pie and switch between these anytime you want. I guess you are on bootloader rev5. To get safestrap you have to follow jrkruse EDL method then follow his Oreo or pie guide.

This process uses modded Odin and safestrap to install. Make you follow his instructions to T

If you want rooted nougat let me know I can send you instructions.

What software you are currently on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Spiritualhoolign:
Yes.. I'm on rev5. Please don't mind me saying this, but I dont want to root my phone coz i tried it before on oneplus 5 and it went terribly wrong :laugh: . So, if there is no way i can do it using odin and flashing HOME_CSC i really don't want to risk it. But, thanks a lot for all this . And sorry for bothering with so much details. Thanks much.
[Samsung Gear S3] Youdoofus:
coming from a rooted and android wear ROM flashed gear 2 neo about 16 months ago, i thought i could get used to the way that tizen does its music player app, and its just not to my liking. several things about tizen irritate me, but this one is the one that comes up the most often. The music player app i was using in android wear showed the track/volume controls as default when music was playing which made it very nice to interact with when i was playing tunes. I cant seem to find a way to make tizen do this. Does anyone have any ideas about it?

I know there is a program out there somewhere that adds a pretty basic multiple home screen setup. I tried Spb mobile shell but it is not as configurable as I would have hoped...

I basically just want to have HTCHome/HTCHome Plugin on one screen and SBHC Pocket breeze on another, and maybe a third for more in depth system monitoring.

Anyone know the program that does this?

I have looked around and I am having trouble figuring out the proper search terms to define this program...

TIA!

1. Is it possible to see counterbadges on whatsapp icon for muted chats? So no banner, no popup, just a counterbadge on the whatsapp icon when new messages being sent in muted chats.

Maybe with another launcher than the huawei?

2. Everytime a new whatsapp message is incoming via banner, every other unread notification of whatspp are shown too. I only want to see the

[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] manepop98:
Hello there!

I just bought a Razer Phone from a guy who said that it has a bad motherboard...I bought it pretty cheap and tried to revive it, because why not, i ve done this to other phones.

The phone was somehow reset, it boots until the setup wizard, where i can set the language , emergy call or maginification without problems...

The problem is that if i press " Get Started ", it popps a message like "setup wizard keeps stopping" and so on...i cant pass that screen, the message appears everytime i press "get started" button.

So, i tried flashing... The phone boots like is an unlocked one, but no fastboot/adb ?!

So, the only chance was adb sideload. I pushed different roms / factory images... Nothing.

Hardly, i found an OTA.ZIP file, and tried to sideload it. It worked till 47% ... Then, it said that "PACKAGE IS FOR CHERYL BUT EXPECTED CHERYL-CKH"... not a single rom/factory image worked like this... It loads near 50%, when the other stop right after start.

Later, i discovered i have the US carrier version cheryl-CKH ... And i cant find it's OTA...if one of you can provide me, i ll be very grateful, even buy you a beer or smth.

Thank you ! And please help me...

Edit: i also tried with EDL mode, with Qualcomm Flash Image Loader , but i dont have/know the Programmer Path & Search Path.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] patient81:
I'd advise to unlock the bootloader following the instructions here; make sure to unlock the critical partition as well.

https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/general-instructions/

Then flash the stock factory image of your choice from here;

https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/

When you unzip these factory images, there is a flash_all.bat file to double click and it should do it all for you.

The phone should be good to go after this. I did this recently on my razer after spending some time flashing some of the 9.0 pie GSI images and it worked great.

I think you have spanish XT9. You only have to change registry key.

The keyboard is complete with I think 5 or 6 languages.

Was same with german, first you can´t select german, only english and italian. after changing registry you can select between 5 languages.

The touchscreen keyboard works like a charm, the hardware keyboard, which I imagine was not thought of when it was copied over to us, doesn't work. It only gives you the "what you see button is what you get" meaning that you get the letters for the extreme right and left buttons, but not the center buttons which have numbers written on them. That's our current predicament.

Just the registry, but I do have a question. Right now when I type on my keyboard or on screen, the XT9 doesn't show up, nor does the ABC or anything, but if I push and hold the asterisk everything does show up A-OK!

To conclude: Everythign works fine, you just don't know if it's in ABC or XT9 until you press and hold the asterisk, or pull up the keyboard.

Is the hotfix supposed to fix that? hmm... :)

mine is a 20 key device, and i don´t know if that will work on your device. Iwould help but i don´t kno why. maybe there are other registry setting required.Sorry

Try to import the reg files, and after that switch your phone power off. not only softreset,maybe it helps.

no, the hotfix doesn´t solve this.On mie it´s the same, but for me it is no problem.

But i´m so happy that this keyboard now woks for me, becaus the xt9 GERMAN is absolutely perfect, i love it.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] zkyevolved:
i agree, the xt9 on the new device is absolutely flawless, and not to mention that now they fast typing error is now fixed, and then that means that i can finally let go and run a muck on my keyboard hehe. i thank you! the 20 key device now is all good :-)

OK Now when I try to silence an incomming phone call... it doesn't silence. That key is no longer working as a silencer :P. Any ideas?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dlsw:
Tried all means... New bug found on the 16 key device, 1)when start of new sms, only numbers are appears when the soft keypad is pressed, you need to press on 'option' then exit 'option', then the soft keypad functions normally. 2) when slide open the keypad to show the action screen then press on the keys to make phone calls, it doesn't work anymore.

I already removed this diamond key and revert to the original, little info for the 16 key user, hope someone can solve this for the 16 key device users
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] zkyevolved:
I also found another bug. I'm going to start keeping track now, lol.

1) Can no longer silence incomming calls

2) when slide keyboard open, and is at the main screen and start to push numbers (on phys keyboard) it brings up letters after the first number, and stops searching / filtering contacts. I must bring up onscreen keyboard to continue. // YET if i'm in the contacts application, everything works as planned....

Now i'm in a predicament, because I really like the keyboard. It NOW for the first time doesn't "jump" letters when I type fast, which I find incredibly important. So far, the good outweighs the bad... for the moment :(

Any ideas on what registry edits would fix these problems?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] kerrance76:
looking at the registry entries one they have a lot of entries that are missing from mine (16 key) but one that will be making a difference mentions something along the lines of a 20 key map. deleting this entry makes no difference but if someone can find the corresponding 16 key file it may make a difference.
