A8 2018 - SM-A530F

Upgrade from Nougat (Android 7.x):

-installed newest TWRP via TWRP

-backed up the old Nougat via TWRP

-wiped and installed DOWNLOAD ROM AND ZIP #2 (non-beta) via TWRP

-reboot

-it took about 15 minutes and several reboots --> be patient

-message "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" at every boot now (top left of screen, small red font)

Root problem:

if you grant apps root, magisk manager is constantly crashing (if an app uses root) (e.g Titanium Backup, Total Commander)

-reduce to core functions in magisk manager did not help

-upgrading magisk manager to 7.1.1 did not help

-downgrading magisk to 18.1 helped (I removed magisk 19.0 with Magisk-uninstaller-20190328.zip in TWRP first)

EdXposed is working (I had to flash it _twice_ via TWRP)

-flash magisk-riru-core-v18.zip

-flash magisk-EdXposed-v0.3.1.7_beta-release.zip

-install EdXposedInstaller_v2.2.4-release.apk

Important apps that work: AFWall+ 2.99, XPrivacyLua 1.24, Titanium Backup, FM-radio

Looks like, I can't go back to Nougat (just want to do this because I missed to save settings in XPrivacy and wifi passwords before the upgrade).

Downgrading to Nougat (Restore in TWRP) didn't work:

-backed up the new Pie and wiped data, system, cache

-restoring Nougat went well but gave one error at the end:

-Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)

-I got bootloops. :(

So I restored Pie in TWRP:

-wiped data, system, cache

-wiping went well but gave one error at the end:

Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)

-restore went well, no bootloops
[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] 587.saboor:
lol

first of all, why are you downloading this rom from nougat? it's gonna obviously cause problems if you're coming from nougat so i recommend going to pie first from odin, then flash this rom, or oreo if you really dont want pie.

second of all, you shouldnt use xposed with samsung firmware, or else you would encounter issues but it's fine if you want to use stuff like greenify or something

third of all, the KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING is normal but shouldn't show up anyways, it's showing up because you have old nougat bootloader so thats another reason to flash official pie from odin before flashing this rom
[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] phocriab:
that's the lazy man's approach, just give it a try

;)

okay, i switchted from XPrivacyLua to AppOps

imho it is not obvious: you can still boot windows 10 with a windows 7 bootloader, same for linux

probably you should add that hint to you first post
[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] 587.saboor:
nah i dont really need to add the hint cuz ur literally the only one here who's flashing on nougat bootloader lol
[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mchlbenner:
I recently upgraded to the latest bootloader to see if it would help pie boot better.

Which it did not these roms issues freezing on boot up and video freezing is Samsung fault.

I have contacted them and I ask why they would released a buggy update their been giving me excuses instead of answers.

Back to Oreo for a couple months until I sell this phone no more Samsung!

[Mogul, XV6800 General] godmagnus:
So, this morning, i tried to send out a text message to more than one person asking for email addresses. After waiting over and hour and only getting one response, i sent an individual message to someone that didn't respond. Well, they said they never got anything. So i did some playing around with sending test texts, and it turns out that anyone listed after the first person is not receiving any messages. This worked before and for some odd reason just stopped working?

Any direction someone can point me in? i'm not using a custom messaging program.

Worse come to worse and i need to set the phone back to factory defaults, how do i do that?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] godmagnus:
nevermind, got tired of not being able to send out multiple texts so i set it to factory defaults.

found an xml contacts backup so i didn't lose any contacts. . just around 500 text messages. :(
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ticalthepimp:
It's just that the custom roms don't put the semicolon between the contacts when you send to multiple people for some reason, just manually put it there. :-) I'm not sure as the the limit of people you can send a single text to. Anyone know?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dmoneyitg:
i use an app called group sms and sent it to a text to about 25 people at once.

The project was tried before for our device and failed. It was reported that, maybe due to limitations in kernel and/or low-end device specifications.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Hi. I bought lg v30 with nice oled screen but i can change to g7 but I am not sure about screen quality. Can you tell me how black colour looks on this ips (for example aod)? Its better than any other standard ips screens? I compared moto g6 plus screen to the v30 and its big difference.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] 20degrees:
It's a beautiful panel. The blacks are very black for it being an ips, but it's not AMOLED.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Inerent:
I would say only at night you will see a little diffrence for black. At day no diffrence.

But the white on this screen beats everything by far. :good: best display out there.

Just be sure to enable comfort view on g7 when you make comparison and play with the slider until it fits you.

Check out here: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/discussion-lg-g7-screen-best-white-color-t3918731
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] nedooo:
Well if you ask about blacks it is a bit worse then Sony XZ2 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s I can compare them any time. But it is really close and hard to notice ( I have some sharp eyes :)

About brightness colors etc, if you count out boost brightness that can only be manually activated fot 3 minutes max, it is obviously worse in all aspects then those two phones I mentioned above...I found it way way on the cold side and post balance is hurting brightness alot...it also has odd subpixel set, some kind of pentile and not true rgbw nor rgb obviously. So there is no true QHD quality resolution vise more like FHD+

So in reality it is not top tier IPS without boosted brightness (if boost is activated it goes toe to toe with those phones but they operate on that level always while LG can be boosted for 3 min. max from time to time)...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Inerent:
I bet you did not enabled comfort view. Also put an A4 paper on the back on these phones and try to replicate it's collor. G7 screen is unbeatable!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] nedooo:
As I said balancing white degrades brightness too much, and it takes more to calibrate white balance then to put it on A4 papaer and try to match it :)

Still post calibration is not even close to "factory calibration" something completely different...LG G7 screen is not only beatable but it is not even in the top dogs level...

Still post calibration is not even close to "factory calibration" something completely different...

LG G7 has nice screen but it is not only beatable but it is not even on the same level of flagships...

So simple as this LG G7 LCD display is hands down worse then: Sony XZ P, XZ2 (compact), Xiaomi Mi MIX 2(s) Black Shark, Huawei Mate 9(20), iPhone XR(7,7+,8,8+), Nokia 8, Razer Phone 2...i guess there are far more, but those are certenly better when compared head to head overall...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Inerent:
I DISAGREE!

Had XZ premium, compared it with Xz2 premium, Xz2 and xz3 when I bought it, also compared it with s10e, s10+, iPhone xr and xs max, mate 20npro and p30 pro. G7 screen leaves in dust those even without enabling boost brightness. White is white. On the others, oleds, white is yellowish. Idk what test you've done, but it seems weird that you've got different results.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Thank you guys for all answers! Greetings ?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] nedooo:
it leaves them in dust...ok no point arguing with you...just enjoy your LG G7 and leave everything else in dust :)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Inerent:
Dude, I dont get it why you are iritated?

Take a look:

LG G7 vs Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P30 Pro

Full brightness on all, blue filter on all. Best adjustment to match the pure white.

Photos are shot with P30pro and mate 20 pro
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] nedooo:
So you compare LCD to demo unit OLED :eek: :silly:

For people looking for true comparison that confirms what I said, one photo is with and one without brightness boost on LG compared to Sony XZ2. Note LG can sustain boosted brightness three minutes maximum.

You can do just two things:

- Flash pie firmware with newflasher (search on XDA and follow the tutorial). If this doesn't work, try to flash older firmware (Oreo), always with newflasher

- If this doesn't work, send it to repair

PS: don't use flashtool, it doesn't work with pie and it will always create your problem

my phone also bricked by vertical lines on display

Display on my XA2 also damaged after using newflasher. It seems that newflasher do some "stress mode" to dispaly, but display isn't boked immediately after flashing. I have broken 2 displays already!

Here is what i did with my phone:

1. Bought phone with 50.1.A.13.123.

2. Flashed Lineageos.

3. I used phone about 1 day.

4. Flashed FW 50.2.A.0.352 with newflasher.

5. Flashed SailfishOS - after 15 minutes of using of Sailfish display falled into "verticall lines error".

6. While display was broken all memories was OK writeable in fastboot and also flashmode.

7. Again flashed FW 50.2.A.0.352 with newflasher.

8. I replaced display with the new one.

9. I used phone about 1 day (with 50.2.A.0.352) - everything was OK.

10. Flashed FW 50.1.A.13.123 with newflasher.

11. Verticall lines error occured again. In that case directly after flashing FW.
