No cap, I haven't had this good of a discussion in a long time on xda.???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] _GRIZZLY_:
I have few questios:

1. I back from pie to oreo with december security patch without problems. So next can i back to oreo with october security patch? I buyed note with october patch.

2. Which sign in Odin is for flash modem? CSC or PDA? [MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]- I found that is CP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
It can be if the bootloader is of the same order and not less,ex U2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] _GRIZZLY_:
Ok, so where can i check bootloader version?

In download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Go to settings/about phone.

It will be U1..S1..or U2..S2 last 6 characters of build number
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] _GRIZZLY_:
Ok, so i have Oreo from december and S2 in build number.

Is it good information for me?

I flashed modem from October without problems.

So with whole rom from October will be similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
I've tested to see if I can downgrade from PIE CSF9 to Oreo ARL3 with oem unlock and it does not work. By Oreo!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] _GRIZZLY_:
Yes. Unfortunately Samsung blocked back to oreo probably from April.

On the Pie i had problems with answer calls and touch sensitives. I had to answer calls for 2x. I tried Pie from january and february and nothing. All the time i had this problem. Even didn't help check option "more sensitive for gloves". On the oreo i don't have any problems and i am happy..

So I will stay with oreo at least to update android Q.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Da-BOSS:
PIE surely sucks and will always be sucks.. it was never been as good as Oreo.. I always have the feeling that Oreo was a complete build while Pie was half baked... half rushed build :rolleyes: even when using Samsung Galaxy S7... Oreo have the best performance and battery life on old devices and on Note 9... :)

Oreo forever! Give Oreo some love and it will love you back :) this is Oreo madness :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RanMN:
I find this quite strange since I've been very happy with Pie/One UI. Never felt like much was taken away and the default Samsung call recording is great anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
The experiences are relative to each user. I had crap time on Pie for majority of the year until about a month ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Jammol this so true. I keep going back to Pie let it settle for about a week and battery is still not good for me so I end up back on Oreo. Same setup same apps and the difference is night and day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Da-BOSS:
The Power Of Oreo

well.. tbh.. sadly PIE is really bad... it consume alot of battery life to have the same performance as Oreo level.

Those are my battery life (Notice) I don't charge my battery to 100%..

I limit my charge to 85~88%

only to have a minimum amount of battery wear on long term..

All screenshots are taken at

around 50%

of battery so.. you must know that I can achieve more than what could those screenshot provide and

you must know

that if I charged my battery to 100% I can achieve much more SOT than those screenshot... :angel:

See the screen shots with Oreo battery and tell me if you can achieve that on Pie... :confused: [sorry about one of the screen shots it doesn't shows the battery graph but believe me it was not intentionally] I'm saying that just to prevent people from saying fake :)

Notice... all screenshots are taken while using my own kernel [THEBOSS-Zeus Kernel]

your milage may vary if you are using other than my kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] onetik:
Changing the battery is free within the 2 year warranty period. So why bother with all the extra hassle to "protect" it?

And regarding staying on Oreo, the OP mentioned "many apps" are missing but could only list the missing call recorder in Pie. Staying on old versions might have been fine before, but these days with so many security risks popping up everywhere, having the latest security patches are essential.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] disturbd1:
You're basically not using your phone, intentionally I presume, to make a point that can't be made; there is no way under the sun that battery life is demonstrably worse under Pie than Oreo. You have no recognizable apps showing (Facebook, insta, WhatsApp, email client, not even XDA/Tapatalk) aside from chrome. You have what appears to be zero Bluetooth streaming or usage. This does NOT account for the average phone user. If you wanted a phone with stupid high battery life, but never to actually use the damn thing, why on earth did you buy such an expensive flagship?

The OP has the weakest argument for reverting that I've ever seen, and for XDA that's saying a lot.

Jesus, this phone is incredible. Even more so on OneUI than it was before. Literally every app that I need to use functions properly, even my mobile banking app from a local credit union is functional as of Pie, and utilizes biometrics instead of a password.

People need to chill out with the nay-saying on this device. It's ridiculous.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wilw:
Hi,

I have a ZTE A2017G (ZTE A2017GV1.3.0B02), is it possible to do something (root, ...) to recover a Daydream compatibility on this mobile phone ?

Thank you for your help
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
The rumour is that ZTE will release an Oreo update with Daydream support again included so may pay to be patient and wait.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
It is possible, you either a) wait just like [MENTION=4722974]RobboW[/MENTION] said, or b) roll back to Nougat, but you'll lose your internal storage and app data if you do. Rolling back is easy, you just have to get the official Nougat package from the ZTE page (get it from ZTE australia or germany) and install it via normal SD card or internal storage method. There might be an O-N rollback package, that'll work, but the normal Nougat packages work too
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
The Russian site has an O-N rollback specific package alongside the other packages.

Have you ever wondered how you can became undependent on Google PlayStore? Well, I was thinking about it and I found out, that I can make an browser extenction to directly download apps from GPlay :cool:.

It is in experimental stage and I have some problems with server hosting, but you can look at the source code (super simple JS), that is using excellent library called google-play-cli.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Accessories] MocciJ:
This is a problem partially described here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=232911&highlight=touchscreen

After convincing myself to change my old digitizer full of scratches I ordered a new one from China. I got it to pass the initial startup tests (the ones that show up when hard resetted) but obiouvsly it was all too easy.

The only zone of the touchscreen that is working well is at the top left - center left. Otherwise I have to 1) press REALLY hard and 2) waiting about 1 sec pressing to get it recognize inputs.

Initially I thought it was some hardware behaviour, maybe related on how the digitizer's ribbon cable was solded; then I've ended in the thread that I linked.

The questions are: it's just a crappy touchscreen or there's somewhat else? It's an hardware or software problem? If that's a soft prob, do I have to upgrade to some other ROM (current is 1.12 ITA) - modify something in the registry - say some magic words? CAOS!!

Oh and I

accidentally

cracked my relatively better old touchscreen. Trying to unstick it from the LCD with a cutter did't was a good idea. It's ok now, just reduced to many cute little fragments. :cool:

Well, duh, hmm, it's morelike a brick now. Please. It's like a son for me :(:confused::(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Accessories] MocciJ:
I've figured it out

Searching in the registry I've found these keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\Touch\PressureThreshold

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\TouchPanel\Xthreadhold

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\TouchPanel\Ythreadhold

I messed them up a bit and guess what? Those are the parameters for setting up the touchscreen!

I guess the first key is for set the touch sensibility of the digitizer: low values made it unusable, I assume that higher values set higher sensibility: however I worked only on the other 2 keys.

Changing the values of Xthreadhold and Ythreadhold changed the areas of sensibility of the digitizer: so I extended the sensibility to all the X axis just setting 12 from 4, and so for the Y axis I've raised it to 15.

Now it's functional again!!

MocciJ

(UPDATE): searching further I discovered that PressureThreshold is related to the alignment test: harder the press on the crosses, less sensible the digitizer and viceversa.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Accessories] Alex_GP:
Thanks for the discovery!

[YU Yuphoria] amitrider04:
After flashing custom rom which is EXTENDED AOSP 4.6 running on 7.1.2 nougat , i am getting very low speed on mobile network . i flashed almost all yuphoria rom including lineage os , crdroid , pixel , zirconium etc all custom roms having same internet connection problem.

Internet sometimes work , sometimes doesn't , and it works like 2g network or even doesn't load fb lite .

On my stock rom , it was working like full speed wifi , but on any custom rom excluding viper os .

I flashed stock rom , it worked again better but after. Flashing custom rom it doesnt work.

Network Setting is proper with LTE and enhance 4G

Please do the needful
[YU Yuphoria] YasiR Siddiqui:
Try changing roms or flash stock rom
[YU Yuphoria] Aj_$tyle$:
dude let me tell you one think every custom rom built for yuphoria having some cons like net issues and network issues, trust me i tried most of roms and reverted back to stock with in minutes of usage due to bugs,so you better install cos 12.1 (non-volte) or stock rom by yukick(volte)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] up2dateneurosis:
Developer and XDA member modpunk is working since about a year on his LineageOS 15.x release for the Sony Xperia XZ1 compact (codename Lilac) and shared his work with the community in his thread https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/lineageoslilac-t3745215/ in the XZ1 compact area :good: Beside the community with theire feedback, he gets support by the developer derf elot and together they are currently working on a LineageOS 16.x release for the XZ1 compact. So for now the LineageOS 15.x support has stopped to concentrate on the 16.x version.

As a XZ1 (none compact, the big brother, codename Poplar) user, I hoped to get their work running on my device too. And yes, it was possible, so the Lilac releases will be converted to the Poplar in future with a modification! And directly here is a via TWRP flashable zip-file that you can use :victory: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397935770 <-- DOWNLOAD Based on the latest release. Done by derf elot and modpunk.

Keep in mind that you need the latest Sony Oreo firmware flashed before (more instructions and download link in derf elot's comment, newflasherv13 by munjeni is already included in his upload), an unlocked bootloader, TWRP https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-t3727602/ and do a clean flash ;)

Most users will protably need some Google apps, so pic them from here https://opengapps.org/ For this release you will need ARM64 -> 8.1 -> what ever you like (I am fine with aroma, but to stay as clean as possible choose pico)

Do not reboot between the installation of the OS and the GApps. To get it work, only boot the first time with both things flashed.

To enable full root access flash this LineageOS addon https://mirror.kumi.systems/lineageos/su/20190304/addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip You need than to activate root in the developer settings. I mostly need this to adjust my cpu, gpu and memory with Kernel Adiutor (example in the screenshots) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor

When modpunks 16.x version will be daily useable, I will open up another thread like this one, to get his next XZ1 compact release also running on our XZ1's.

If you like to do your own build, you can just follow our conversation on this page https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/lineageoslilac-t3745215/page74 , where derf elot also posted links to Poplar repos on his github.

https://github.com/derfelot/android_vendor_sony_poplar (instead of android_vendor_sony_lilac)

https://github.com/derfelot/android_device_sony_poplar (instead of android_device_sony_lilac)

Screenshots made after a clean installation, without GApps. So the system was as naked as possible. It took about 10,23 GB space. Hope this helps you guys to compare with the stock rom :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Riskypedia:
Thanks for your development :) I'll test it right now XD
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
Hi there,

thanks for opening the thread :) Just a couple of things to note:

1) This is not a modified lilac ROM of course, rather built from the same shared device trees for xz1c, including device-specific changes/additions for poplar (see sources above)

2) You need to be on the latest _O_ FW to use (that's 47.1.A.16.20). You can find instructions how to update your FW in our xz1c thread : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75455106&postcount=2 If you don't have it anymore, I have uploaded the fw to AFH: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397914082 If you are on P, it is likely not to even boot (untested). If you are on a different O FW than the latest, the camera likely won't work.

3) Use the TWRP that is linked in the OP here: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-t3727602 and not one modified to work with P

4) A full data format is needed before you flash (not just wipe)

5) Please report if something doesn't work. It works fine on my poplar, but it is merely a testing device for me, mainly sitting on the desk 99% of the time so I havent stress-tested it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Riskypedia:
Can I have some questions?

First of all, since you said we need to use latest STOCK firmware, does that mean that we cannot enable camera 2 api with this rom?

And also, does this rom support project treble?

Again, thanks for your development!!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
yes, only stock camera features are supported, this is not SODP based. We did however include the stock camera app including slomo etc.

as for treble, in theory it should, but haven't tested.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] up2dateneurosis:
Camera 2 api is supported.

Project Treble is not. (As far as I know by searching modpunks thread.)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
not raw however, for example.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] up2dateneurosis:
Yup, raw not, but it was also not supported in Sonys fw.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] qbic2:
COOL, this is what i need for my xz1 !!! Lineage :)

Will it be in the official lineage download page or just some shady/private builds?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
If you think my private builds are shady, feel free to build it from source yourself :)

There was no easy way to go official for 15.1, but with 16.0 that should be a possibility.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] up2dateneurosis:
I still wait for feedback of some users of this "shady" build ;)

Riskypedia, what about you?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] qbic2:
No offence man, its about transparency of the process. Not sure if my machine is "strong" enough to build it from the scratch.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DaVinci42:
hi, thanks for your effort.

QNS: since CarbonRom has official poplar builds, is it possible that you could use its device source repo?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
They should be practically the same, since the CR repos are based on the lilac/modpunk ones. Anything missing? I just haven't added support for dual sim at this point.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DaVinci42:
didn't know CR based on xz1c too, LOL. just though if could based on CR, would reduce lots of effort for this. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Riskypedia:
Sorry for the late reply :crying:

So the result of trying was, yeah of course I couldn't use GCAM since CameraAPI2 was disabled, and some GSI roms booted well while others didn't. I think it's device dependent, but this means that kernel and vendor for this rom is treble-prepared. :good:

Rom was stable, but SIM was removed at the time I tested so I cannot sure about the network. I'm planning to try it again later this week!

Aaaaaaaand as always, sorry for my bad english :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] moxieEve:
Please update some screenshots:)

And will this rom support Google camera? if it is possible，please test it too.Thanks:o
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
Right, it's actually possible that I disabled the overlay that enables api2 in this build. I used to do that because I didn't like the Snap (LOS camera) interface with it enabled ;) Now that I only use the included stock camera though, there is't really a reason for me to keep it disabled.

edit: no, sorry. that's just an overlay for snap itself, shouldn't have any effect on other cameras.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] up2dateneurosis:

[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] derf elot:
Hi all,

I posted a new build

March security patches

Kernel updated to 4.4.176

Kernel synced to most recent CAF tag

Link: lineage-15.1-20190320-UNOFFICIAL-poplar.zip
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] up2dateneurosis:
I will update the link in the first post too. Thanks :)

I noticed, that the microphone volume is to low if I do recordings for voice messages. If you like to change this too, than use for example Total Commander and navigate to /vendor/etc and edit the mixer_paths.xml file. The values DEC1 - DEC10 adjust microphones. A higher value results into louder recordings. But you might rise the noise than too, so try out and find your personal sweetspot. To do this you need root access. Your changes will than take effect after a reboot.

My impression seems not to be the only one, so if I / we would find a solution, than this could help the Lilac users too: https://xdaforums.com/search/thread/3745215?query=recording volume

I am testing my personal settings today and will upload my file later, so you guys can just exchange it if you do not like to get into this on your own. And remember, if you flash a new release of modpunks and derf elots rom, than you have to edit the mixer_paths.xml file again.
