Don’t flame me guys but having used Android since original HTC Desire release date I have never ever gone “naked” with my smartphone. I always apply a tempered glass protector (only costs $1 - $2 on eBay) as soon as possible after purchase.

I try to be careful with my handset but the tempered glass protector always picks up a few small scratches over the following months. My experience is also that a tempered glass protector reduces (slightly) the chance of cracked screen if you drop the handset onto a hard surface.

The Craigslist users experience is also one I share - where sellers claim the screen is like-new with no marks or scratches and when you drive to collect you immediately see lots of small light scratches when display is off

Finally and slightly off topic I usually add a clear gel case to my smartphone ASAP after purchase to protect sides and back.

One major benefit of protecting both front and back of a handset is resale or trade-in value - significantly higher for genuine mint-condition with no visible marks scratches or cracks anywhere. Therefore it’s not just being OCD or “babying” it’s actually financially beneficial to you in the long term.

I use PhantomSkinz and FitBag. Perfect combo. I'm using my HTC U11 FitBag and it works perfectly with PhantomSkinz front and back protector. Every time you slide it in or pull out, you have a perfectly clean phone, as the material in the FitBag cleans it Everytime. Thanks [MENTION=2614481]Phantoms[/MENTION]kinzGuru

THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WORKED

I had so many problems with rr and now i can have the stock rom back without the few bugs plus i can get full samsung support
[Amazfit] ahsim:
I hate stock timer, so I coded a new one, with seconds settings

Download it from attachments
[Amazfit] dersie:
Tested, nice but just ONE mini vibe at time end and we can not feel 99% of the time :(
[Amazfit] ahsim:
On what watch? Did you got short vibe every seconds for last 5 seconds?
[Amazfit] dersie:
Stratos. Just One Vibe at the end.
[Amazfit] ahsim:
It's weird. I also have Stratos and vibration for last 5 seconds work for me and it is enough for be notified about end of timer.
[Amazfit] dersie:
Hi,

Tested again. We have few vibration during 5s ONLY if the watch screen is in "Active Mode" (displaying second hand and high screen res). If watch is in normal dim mode (ie low res mod an no second, low power mode) we have not few vibe. It seem also the vibe is only at a refresh screen only at full minute. If we start a timer for 20s we never have the vibe, it happen only when you unlock and activate the screen, even 10min after the timer end :(
[Amazfit] ahsim:
Hi,

It's weird 2. I made auto dim mode when you click play and dim off when it finish. I don't know why it don't work on your Stratos
[Amazfit] dersie:
Because I put the watch in dim mode by cover the screen. It is not acceptable to keep a watch in active mode during a long time, exemple timer 90min ;)
[Amazfit] ahsim:
now I understand. I tried to make background service but it not work, because watch system kill it. Maybe need more privilege. So I decide such way. Do not cover the screen or use stock timer
[Amazfit] dersie:
Defaut stock timer use also the watch active mode and keep the mode actif ;) but it still works after cover the screen to enter in passive mode :)
[Amazfit] ahsim:
Version 2.0

Changes:

- Added stopwatch

- Changed icon

- Changed play / pause button

- Added vibration on button presses

Features:

- Long click on the name - switching the timer / stopwatch

- Vibration last 5 seconds, and also when 1 minute remains in the timer

- Vibration at the beginning of the first five minutes in a stopwatch

- Auto transition to the "Do not block the screen" mode after starting the timer / stopwatch and back after the timer / stopwatch is stopped. In this mode, the backlight turns off, but the screen remains active, even after switching to the watchface or another screen.

- Do not cover the screen with your palm when the timer is running, it may not work in the background

Courtesy and special thanks to John Wu developer of magisk!

Here is the info. It is highly recommended to read carefully and follow the instructions to the T. This is not for the faint of heart or newbies just trying to root their phone for the first time. You will lose some things (Knox and pay) and gain some great things by rooting this device.

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-s10e-s10-exynos-rooted-magisk-canary/

From what I understand people are even rooting their snap dragon versions of the phones as well. I would let the more experienced flashers help guide you through.

Thanks again to John Wu for bringing this to the table.

Do Not try on the snapdragon variant.It will fail at vbmeta.img
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Revontheus:
Samsung is making it harder and harder to root devices. For Magisk to work, we technically have to boot to recovery every single time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] lost_:
[MENTION=4187737]ironmaskusa[/MENTION], you really should change the title and include "[EXYNOS and not all SD]" because this thread does not appy to North American Snapdragon devices, as topjohnwu himself stated. There are reports of Chinese/HK SD devices that have successfully gone through the procedure (and yet other Chinese/HK have failed), but for those of us with SM-G97OU/U1 and locked bootloaders, the Magisk procedure will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] RomLord14495:
I can confirm it wont work,ganuteed to fail at vbmeta.img every time,plus Samsung implemented hash checks on partitions

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Morphine1:
Any news on the snapdragon variant? I'm getting the HK version, G9700 dualsim/snapdragon, and would be interested in getting working magisk.

I come from oneplus devices, friendly with twrp and stuff. Last sammy was tye S2...

Also, is there anyway to avoid knox triggering?

The pros of rooting dicreased a lot for me anyway, want to use substratum and a few silly magisk modules (especially for viper)

Let me know who's up to mod our G9700 and have some fun with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] znbaboy:

Can someone give a detailed explanation or a link to information on why this won't work for us snapdragons. This is the first phone I've owned that I've not been able to root. Im not necessarily a noob to rooting phone(as in following a guide) but I'm very intrigued by the inner working of the process.

Does anyone have a link to any information that goes into detail on how one goes about finding an exploit to root a phone. I have a little bit of programming experience but I'm sure I'm no where in the realm of being able to come up with my own exploits. Im kind of seeking knowledge on what it would take in order to start learning how to circumvent the security on devices so one day I may be able to give back to the community by providing my own exploits.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I love these forums and want to help the community but I don't know how to go about finding the information I need in order to start learning the essentials in going about finding exploits and providing root methods. Thank you everyone for your awesomeness.

If any mods feel this is in the wrong section please feel free to move it or let me know and I will create a new post.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
Rooting won't work on US Qualcomm/Snapdragon S9/S10 devices because Samsung has tightened their security a lot since the S8. In fact even the S8 is difficult to root, it only works if you have an old bootloader. Your best option is to go with the international/global "F" devices which has full custom recovery, Magisk, hide root, etc. While they say that the intentional devices won't work with Verizon (CDMA/LTE), I can confirm they work just fine since Verizon uses VoLTE for voice now.

As far as root being possible on US devices, it's hard to tell, if they find a loophole it could come tomorrow, but it could also come in 10 years from now, so it's probably not worth waiting when you have the international Exynos models available for rooting today.

Luckily someone wrote a guide just for that... ;)

FRANKENSTEIN - CONVERTING ANY NORTH AMERICA V30/V30+ (except T-mobile H932) TO US998 OREO
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mayersdz:
thank you

but do the updates come auto or do i need to download and install them manually ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
(I don't speak for ChazzMatt but think I can help you a bit)

Once any device has been modified (boot loader unlocked / rooted / twrp) you will no longer receive (or at least be able to install - it may come over the air - but it won't update) OTA updates.

So yes, you would have to install them manually. Keep in mind though, because the V30 is modifiable, quite a few ROM's and other development is going on. So there will be help to do updating and even some debloated roms available.

Cheers
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
His isn't bootloader unlocked, I don't think... It's just he has AT&T H931 which doesn't receive updates unless you're on AT&T network. AT&T also doesn't release KDZ, they only do OTA with an AT&T SIM card.

Best thing to do is convert to US988 and then update at will.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I think he meant *after* he converted would the updates be automatic...

Hey, sometimes it's hard to tell ;)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No, he probably won't get US998 OTA. But right now on H931 firmware, there's no updates at all -- if he's not an AT&T customer.

Personally, I prefer full image KDZ vs partial image OTA update.

With US998, takes 5 minutes every couple of months to manually install update via LGUP in Upgrade mode. (Updates are released about every two months.). That would be for people who are NOT bootloader unlocked, have TWRP custom recovery.

For people who have TWRP custom recovery, then just Install the most recent US998 TWRP FLASHABLE zip ROM.

Whether KDZ or TWRP flashable zip...

* US998 updates are readily available,

* US998 firmware is debloated.

* US998 firmware has fastboot flash commands.

* US998 firmware is guaranteed carrier unlocked.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] neocyke:
I'm not entirely familiar with the US carrier setups but shouldn't an update be available on Bridge at least? Or your carrier locks disables that?

I don't recall seeing this problem on the G5 while we were waiting for oreo. Seems like every other major variant was bridge upgrade capable save for a few models that didn't get the oreo update.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 will not show updates via LG BRIDGE. They ONLY do OTA while connected to that carrier's SIM card.

So when you buy a "carrier unlocked" H931 -- which people only want because they are not an AT&T customer -- that precludes them from ever getting updates while on H931 firmware, which they don't need anyway because it's AT&T bloated firmware.

Instead you convert to debloated carrier unlocked US998 firmware to free your phone. Get easy updates via LGUP, get fastboot flash commands.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mayersdz:
im already in oreo september security

im going to do... "FRANKENSTEIN - CONVERTING ANY NORTH AMERICA V30/V30+ (except T-mobile H932) TO US998 OREO" ....

do i need to install nougat then upgrade ? why not just install oreo us988 ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
And that's where you will stay forever unless you convert to another variant that has publicly released KDZ -- or unless you become an AT&T customer.

US998 is on March 2019 Oreo security patch.

OK, try that. Tell me how it works for you. :p Then read the instructions and do it right.

If you read that entire post, I tried going straight to Oreo. I detail it all in the "long" version lower down in that post. With Oreo, LG put in a block to try to prevent our North American Frankenstein variant conversions, but they can't prevent us from downgrading to US998 Nougat THEN upgrading back to US998 Oreo.

To my knowledge, there's only one North American variant which can still go straight from their Oreo to US998 Oreo -- and I don't mention it in the Frankenstein instructions, because then everyone will try it and mess up their phones and waste time hoping theirs is also an exception.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Back to the thread topic... You successfully converted H931 to US998 20H?

I'm not a big fan of benchmark tests. But here's what I got (on US998 20G).

Your old Nokia 8 has 6" 1440p OLED, Quad DAC, Qi wireless charging, IP68, stereo FM radio? DTS 3D surround sound (with root)?

Didn't think so. ;) I could probably list more stuff...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mayersdz:
how did you make it to work ?

plus pubg runs in hd so putting my phones resolution in 1440 or 720 wont show diffrence ingame performance dont you think ?

still dont know why lg doesnt allow us to use that 835 full performance , i saw a guy saying his score boosted when he installed lineage os from 165k in lg rom to 200k lineageos which is the normal score in the version 7 of antutu . something is underclocking cpu performance or hodling it behind .
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] neocyke:
Other than enabling it in settings.. Nothing. It was the same on my G5. Enabling it in settings gets it to show up regardless of game.

Changing res in normal use, no. In games, it does. A lot of difference. Now remember, I mentioned changing res in PHONE settings, not in game. In display settings you can drop from qhd to just fhd for better fps. The gpu doesn't have to work as hard. That's one of the prime rules of gaming outside of consoles. Try an onscreen 3d benchmark between the 2 settings and you'll see.

My take on synthetic bench like antutu is.. Meh.

Those take several result figures to give you a compound score. With no oem overhead in form of additional apps and services you will obviously get a higher score. That however in no way is direct representation of actual gaming performance. Which can be boosted by oem specific code. For example game tools frame cap unlock and huawei's gpu turbo thermal throttle unlock.

If pubg is yer poison try using the game graphic mods like gfx tool to get more boost.
