Ah yes, good point. I do like some rooted apps like Titanium and Greenify. :good:
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1ffR4ff:
You don't need Titanium as TWRP Nandroid backup saves everything on the internal memory and everything else I want to keep is on the cloud or copied via USB to my PC/Latop.

As for Greenify those kind of apps are useless.You don't need battery savers in Android and even less since Marshamallow.PIE has awesome Battery management and even learns your usage.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emanresutseb:
FYI. I tried so many different things and nothing worked. Factory reset, no. Clean wipe and reflashed 14.1, no. Called service provider and they refreshed my connection, no. Then I installed squid2's 15.1 beta and it is working very well. Solved a lot of different annoying issues I was having. Hope it keeps working!!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1ffR4ff:
Glad you found something that works :)
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emanresutseb:
So far, so good. Loving this ROM. It is as close to perfectly functional as any I have ever tried.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] rodrigoduarteh:
I bought a galaxy S10 Plus recently and I already noticed the same problem of display as my old galaxy s9 plus, the dark parts are pixelated, the famous black crush, I am well stressed, I sold my s9 plus and bought the s10 plus only because of this problem, is there any way to resolve this without application? the screen balance spoils the image more than it improves.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Mohamad Gahed:
Did you try normal mode instead of vivid?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] rodrigoduarteh:
Yes, the same thing remains...

Can you solve this? I used an application but if it closes it unintentionally the bad effects come back and it brightens the blacks but worsens the rest

Edit 1 :

I've done it until the hard reset did not solve it, I restored the original software from Brazil's sammobile site and it also did not change anything ... what can I do?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Mohamad Gahed:
I don't really now but everyone tested the screen said it is the best in any mobile device to date

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
So

Is this the final, final one? And, that new kernel that popped up in this section, shall I give that a go? I tried it with a Pie back up and that went into a real tight loop of maybe 2 seconds in between boots.

Anyway, thanks. I don't think I'll be doing the upgrade next week and this project is better than what I'd get, AND just saves time adding in extras.. No reason to pretty much downgrade (in my eyes) with the official. Hope that screen freeze gets worked out eventually so I can stop talking to my phone like a puppy when it boots.

k I see you added the kernel. No freezing on boot. Did a couple reboots but nothing weird.. Just got a nice Samsung logo display here and... yup. Welcome screen. Here we go.

Alright! Great work with the ROM and kernel addition. Still getting a bit of the freezes but not even close to as bad as it was a week ago. And if it freezes, it doesn't do it as the S or SA of Samsung starts. A little more crash friendly for the eyes. Really trying to like this update... but when you see the attached images it's almost like someone wants you to hate it. Once that panel fills out the screen there's 2 swipes to put it back, if you want to swipe. Speaking of progress, the stock weather app is coloured like you're not supposed to look at it.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
lol there's still a long way to go with this rom, this isnt final

the only way the screen freeze will get worked out is we wait for official pie to come out for a530w and see lol

ye i kinda hate the fact that it fills up the screen and how it wastes space, but you get used to it, the thing i hate the most is the brightness slider location, its the very bottom and i prefer it to be on the top
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Yeah what's up with that? I am wondering if there's something bigger in the making because it seems like this is not a complete OS.

Reminds me of getting a new Playstation and EA Sports makes hockey suck again and each year adds in the things they already had from the beginning so you buy it each year. But not with 2 thousand dollar price tags.

No matter what phone, i will not be on an unaltered OS for a while. I got a friend of mine to upgrade one of her S9+ phones and it kinda works for the bigger screen but still crud. Crud on speed. Keep on cookin'!
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] haigu:
Battery life good, I think this rom smoother than the stock. Maybe you can add more custom content like that ringtones. Can you add tweak to change screen resolution like in the samsung flagship phone too? To preserve battery life. Great rom it is my daily driver. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
yep oneui literally was only here for like idk 3 months so it still needs some improvement
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Slightly. The latest, or the one i downloaded last night hasn't had any freezes/reboots yet. Haven't cut out any apps yet but installed a few Magisk modules and usually would have had an issue at boot by now.

The brightness slider can be applied up top but it's bulky... of course.

Hello everyone

Thanks for the effort made

I tried the image for a week

I've had blocks more than once

in addition, the features of the apps are very small

did you read the bugs?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] atilla20:
could you explain to me what to do please
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
no, there's no way to fix it yet so deal with it
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
Samsung released a buggy Android pie update so until they fix it all pie will have issues.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Yeah i haven't tried any video yet but i am prepared for that to freeze and this is an excellent version as far as an unfinished ROM goes. I didn't flash the module to maintain bluetooth in my vehicle either as of yet, but once again that functions flawlessly if i just accept the pop-up when starting my car. Not a major concern. What's vastly improved and most important is when re-booting it will not freeze at the Samsung logo if installing a module or for any reason... as of yet and hopefully always. Going to purge some apps now and let you know how that goes. Also, for anyone that wants, you can add camera shutter toggle, call recording and remove the security menu from the battery health section (not an uninstall but just omitted).
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Here's the 3 entries for the cscfeature.xml described above that are working: I am getting spaces when i post so make sure to fix it.

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

<CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>TRUE</CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

Most of you probably have them already but it's easier copying and pasting if you don't ;) Be careful as there is a space in the code for some reason.

Also, not really anything required, but you can have a data on your power off menu and take out the auto-spacing in your dial pad entry. These should already be there and only require changing "FALSE" to "TRUE"

<CscFeature_Common_DisablePhoneNumberFormatting>TRUE</CscFeature_Common_DisablePhoneNumberFormatting>

<CscFeature_Framework_SupportDataModeSwitchGlobalAction>TRUE</CscFeature_Framework_SupportDataModeSwitchGlobalAction>

Nothing new, but working if you want them. Still trying to get blank texta but I think it's not able to be tweaked anymore. Not from the mentioned file.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] lemimir:
-Well, I tried.... but your (new) rom is for jackpotlecan, so twrp-3.3.0-0-jackpotlte refused to install it.

Maybe you should change "jackpotlecan" to "jackpotle" in updater-script.

There was no problem installing the first version, and that one works like charm.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
oof im gonna fix that ASAP and im not just gonna replace jackpotltecan to jackpotlte, im gonna add jackpotltecan, and jackpot2lte cuz this isnt only for a530f lol
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] lemimir:
I took liberty of changing script (I am on a530w), did a dirty flash, and everything runs great.

There was no problem, at all.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
I updated the ROM with the updater script that works and stuff too lol u don't have to download the update cuz u already managed to flash it

Also that's good lol I'm gonna put it to stable version then

Anyways, did u flash the new zip 2 aswell?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
k downloading. Will test. I made a PG-13 super stable super boring but super slim one. I wanna try yours until the freeze is fixed. Much more fun.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
You may want to take that down. My A8 is on life support with Dr. Odin as i write. Everything went fine in the flash it appeared. Nice thank you message for testing. At the google sign on part it went black then rebooted with tiny red text spread halfway across the top. Recovery was not happening. Only red death text, reboot, repeat. Was able to go download mode and waiting for surgery. k looks good. Doc says it should be a full recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] atilla20:
Hi guys

how can I add the automatic call record function?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
add this to cscfeature:

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

It is located in /system/omc/your carrier... but I think this ROM has it in a different location which you'll see in the 2nd zip flash if you peek inside. I think it'll be /system/product/ or something like that once installed.

Geez if you copy that directly make sure there's no spaces AT ALL. Been doing that too much. sorry

I am downloading it right now so I'll see if it's in there. If you're unsure how to do it I'll just send you the file and exact location. Probably there already though.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] atilla20:
thanks a lot

you could explain me better

because I am an ignorant
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Haha no prob. Are you going to use this ROM or one you currently use? And I assume it is A8 pie... F or W?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] atilla20:
I'm using this ROM

[ROM] [A530W / A530F / A730F] SaboorROM
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Ok what phone though. SM-A530W?

A8 in what country/carrier?

Just looking at the file and i don't see call recording added so you'll likely need to edit your csc.

I will install it shortly to see where it resides.

So: model (country/carrier is ok)

Get a root file explorer (fx is good.. free 7 days) unless you have one.

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

I can likely just edit the file and share it here. Then you just need to either paste it or use it as reference to edit yours. Once i install i will tell you exactly where to find it. But it's easier if i know what you're using.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] atilla20:
Thank you so much you are very kind

I already have root

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Okay. I cannot load the ROM. Soft bricks my phone. Anyway...

Get a root explorer, and locate I think in /system/product or just product and find your 3 letter carrier (the one you pay your phone bill to) and edit a file called cscfeature.xml

Add the exact phrase I mentioned earlier within the file (try not to alter any other text) and check it has no spaces between letters. I think the word allowed is all owed so fix that. That's it really. You were able to get this installed so this part is quite easy. I'll post a pic in a sec. 2nd time bricking with this ROM which is unusual. Need to wait for an updated version perhaps.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
If your phone will turn ect it not a brick a brick phone is a dead phone you got boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
Yes sorry you are 100% correct.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
But getting back to the member that wanted to add call recording...

I looked at the file you presumably would have and it may be located at /system/product/g975f/product/omc and then select the 3 letter folder representing your country. In there you should find what i've pictured.

Just add the line in as pictured in the other photo and be sure to check permissions are correct as shown in 3rd photo.

I may be wrong by the path i gave, but with a bit of looking around it should be an easy find. You'll need to mount system writable in order to make the change. Sorry if i am explaining things you may know very well.

And it doesn't need to be in the exact location mine is written. It's just to show you a general guideline.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mindlery:
You can edit it on your pc and overwrite the existing file as well. No matter which way, be tidy and exact.

Using a decent pc text editor (or even a browser) will give a much better picture than the confusing way i showed you.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
It is added lol its on the zip2
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
Apparently people r having boot problems with this rom, ill need to check that out once i get my replacement a8
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
In second zip you are putting build 2 of custom kernel.

In build one their was some booting issues.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:
Oh, so newest build of this rom works right? Or no?

In the rom its MANDATORY to flash zip 2 because if you dont then theres gonna be booting problems
