All -

First of thank you to all of the many dedicated users on here. This is without question my favorite forum.

Now for my question (you knew that was coming)... I was a happy user of VP3G for a long time and finally decided I'd upgrade to WM6.1... So - I downloaded (and installed) DVH OS 5.2 b19900 but experienced some sync issues that I (mistakenly) thought were related to the ROM... So - I downloaded (and installed a CRC ROM, same issues... So I downloaded and installed an "Official" AT&T 6.0 ROM. In the mean time, I figured out what the problem really was and want to go back to either the CRC or DVH 6.1 ROM.

The problem, now, is that when I try to upgrade the ROM to (for example) the CRC 9.1, I get "Error 262" from OliPro.

In the interest of full-disclosure, I have IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 Olipro.

Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kbuss:
Hi Guys! i just bought an S9, and its very new, made in march, came with Pie.

I find the maximum manual brightness setting to be way weak and dull for my taste.

Average lit room in the daytime, chrome browsing, evernote editing etc.

When the background is white.

I tried out an s8+ and an LG V30 in the last few weeks, had those on my hand, and they had way stronger brightness and starker whites on normal mode. I had to lower them to ~80% to be comfortable.

This completely baffles me as all the reviews stated that s9 has higher NIT than the above phones.

Grateful for advice. shoud i try another factory rom, downgrade to oreo, or up to the newest pie?

Or is this a hardver limitation and cannot be changed?

thx for any info! :highfive: :good:

ps: i googled but everyone is talking about the AI auto brightness mode, tried that, that doesnt change the available maximum, only in direct sunlight.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jamil aboudaher:
My S9's screen is very bright in almost every situation. Even in sunlight, I can see everything clearly in auto brightness. Indoors I just keep it below 50% and it's still plenty bright. Try reporting this issue or go to a samsung service centre to fix it or replace your phone....

Wait, do you use any kind of power saving? Because in power saving mode there's an option to reduce the brightness 10%, make sure it's off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kbuss:
no and like i said its on manual, maxed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kbuss:
guys i just looked into a measured review of the screen brightness.

can it be that when the whole screen is white, its actually less bright than the s8?

340 vs 403 nit?

(the titles are not in english thats why i blurred them )
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Moischen:
Since I have only had my Mi 9 for less than a month, it should be impossible that it already has a Burn In...

However on the part of the screen where the fingerprint sensor sits, I noticed a grey-ish circle, which is exactly the size of the fingerprint. Since Burn In after 2 weeks should be impossible I turned the phone off and restarted it after a Minute and the spot was gone.

Now 2 hours later it is there again.

I don't even use the fingerprint sensor very often, only if I can't use face unlock...

Did anyone experience a similar problem?

(Btw, it's not software, I took a screenshot and it wasn't there)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] skamus:
Well, that's interesting... Do follow this up to let us know what's up.

Before I got my Mi 9 yesterday, I clocked a full 4 years on my Note 4, and never experienced burn in... In fact, I would argue that the display looks the same today, as it looked the day I bought it. (no noticeable brightness drop)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] MixEvo:
i have experienced this on every "in display fingerprint" phone i've owned, and all it it is the optical sensor slightly visible with the screen off .
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Serbinhio:
Hey Man sorry for telling you so but this gray spot is the actual hole that your phone needs for the indisplay fingerprint scanner to work. You cannot notice it in all conditions. To test it go out in the sun max out the brightness and use a completely white photo.

P.s. there is another hole near your notch which is your proximity sensor ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] vtec303:
yes thats correct the circle is only to assist you with the position of fingerprint sensor, its the same in my huawei mate 20 Pro, cheers

[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] joshieboo:
Was wondering if anybody has worked on any type of a redmi 7 rom based on lineage since we just got a twrp solution.

My boot loader is going to be unlocked in 12 days, so if any developers are working on anything let me know and i can test it out.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] mylove90:
Devs need from Xiaomi to open source the kernel at least to make things easier.

It is good that we are having TWRP now without source code.

The phone is still very new and it is already catching a lot of development attention.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] joshieboo:
Does xiaomi have a track record on how long they give an open source kernal?
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] BusinessKid:
Agreed. I'm waiting to build it too
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] BusinessKid:
Kernel to be open-sourced by the end of this month

My estimate is that the kernel will be open-sourced around the 20th of May, hopefully. I've got all the gear ready to build a custom ROM, for a Redmi device, for the first time. I'm looking to build Lineage (but I don't know whether I'd succeed). I got the device on the 8th of May, and still waiting for that 360h to go by, as my bootloader is still locked. In the meantime, I'm looking for what else I can try out!
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] kairusds:
looks like the kernel source is released
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Ragy R.Fahim:
kernel source are released already
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] mylove90:
Anyone was courage enough to try to compile the kernel source on his own ?

The sources released are not official or final.

The sources released doesn't compile as is and some fixing because of some errors.

Hey Guys,

I was searching around, and was trying to find a CAF version of PE for the 6T.

Seems like there is one for the OnePlus 6.

Is it possible to run the one for 6 on the 6T?

Thanks!

Yes I guess, you might have to change the OnePlus 6 installer a little bit to work on 6T.. you can search for 6T in 6 PE thread...

It looks like it's going to be good phone however this curved screen is really bad idea. Accidentally touch on sides + luck of tempered glass ?.

Am I wrong?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] filjusz:
You are not
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepwalking0593:
Let the Hype Never Settle down.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
It depends how much curved will be.

If it is like note 9/s10 plus/p30 pro there's not gonna have issue with accidentally touch (I've worked all that devices not had issue)

As for tempered glass I assume oneplus will offer official one that everyone could purchased extra at oneplus site just like with previous version.

On the other hand if it is like mate 20 pro or oldest Sammy device like s8 plus which had very aggressive edge corner yes accidentally touch on side would be more issue for some people.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GassyJr:
Title says it all. I get that the Chinese models seem to have priority for updates, but I haven't seen anything regarding the US model of the 7X. Anyone have any info on it?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] CriGiu:
Nothing new for European and American models, seems like Emui 9.1 is out for Chinese version tho. If what Honor said months ago stands true, we need to wait until June for a beta
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
the middle-east region (L21-c185) also got emui 9.1 on 4-22
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GassyJr:
How would we be able to sign up to that beta? I signed up to the Oreo beta last year but I never got it, I'm feeling a bit doubtful about how the beta is gonna be handled this time around.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] CriGiu:
Did you install the FUT app? It's gonna come through that whenever it is released in your region (iirc the US was not initially in the beta program last time, but was added later)
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GassyJr:
Yup, I got the FUT running perfectly. So now I just gotta wait for the beta to come in?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] CriGiu:
Yes, keep it updated to the latest version. There will be an announcement of some sort, I expect quite a few regions to receive it, last time I was able to get into the beta program since my country was one of the few
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] sdivk:
I found 9.1 update for BND L24 on Firmware finder app. However it is not approved yet for install. So we can expect an update soon. Hopefully it comes before the Google restrictions on Huawei devices.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Do not trust the FF app right now. It has been showing an update to all models for emui 9.1 , but it does not show specific model number. And it is intended only for a pie to pie update. (beta update to full) and it has made a brick for everyone who jumped and installed it

Update name is shown like this

BND-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.117
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] sdivk:
Thanks Mrmazak. I am not in a hurry to install any updates, as the phone is working just fine, for now.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] CriGiu:
Nice info, I actually tried to install that one with the manual dload method, didn't install tho.

There appears to be a new firmware available on Firmware Finder specifically for European models tho, other than that one, just appeared today
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] ghatothkach:
Eagerly waiting... would like to update to Pie... and also hope to use some real custom rom which is not in BETA
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GassyJr:
June's almost done, has there been any news of the beta coming out for BND-L24 yet?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] CriGiu:
You cn check using the FUT app, but I wouldn't be surprised if they actually skipped America this time seeing how things are playing out with Trump.

I was able to join the beta project in my country, there was no announcement of it however
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GassyJr:
Guess I'll have to wait for an OTA update (if they decide to release one).

I'll be checking constantly until it shows up...lol

Edit: I feel like we aren't gonna get it. I don't see why it wouldn't have been pushed by now...will keep my eyes peeled.

Pie arrived in France today
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Pretty much saw this coming (the need to go to a manufacturer other than Huawei next time I wanted a cheep unlocked play toy and device or my sons) when they quit allowing BL unlocks (right after being snubbed trying to get carriers to start selling the phone) in an obvious attempt to convince US carriers that they were addressing security problems. That was before the US sanctions and such, so them not releasing Pie in the US shows that they are going to a non-US model. The fact that you can't use HiCare since it shows a not available in your area notice when you attempt to install he requisite secondary app should be a clue.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] sdivk:
It is bad news about pie update in US. My honor 7x screen was broken last week, invested about 27$ to buy a screen replacement and repaired it. Shouldn't have done that. On the other thought, better wait until December 2019 to buy an Android Q phone. Of course no Huawei or Honor phones ever again.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
Xiaomi is a pretty good option. I nearly pulled the trigger last year on the Mate 20 Pro last year but decided against after realizing the locked bootloader situation. I ended up with a Mi Mix 3 instead and the hardware is excellent. If I were buying now, I'd be looking hard at the Mi 9, which has flagship hardware for less than half the price of a Samsung.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] wobedraggled:

Password Managers have become quite necessary if you don’t want to use the same password everywhere. A lot of people still do that and it is really inviting trouble. But then having different passwords mean you’re more likely to forget them. This is where password managers can help. The best password managers on Android are also available on other platforms. This makes it easier for users to have their passwords available on any device.

Using password managers to keep track of all the passwords is also more secure. Because you can then use the most secure passwords for all your accounts without having to remember them. Having your password manager on your Android phone means you take your passwords with you all the time. Here are the 5 best password managers apps for Android.

Hi I am a newbie and just bought a samsung i780.

The trackpad is fantastic but i found that the left edge of the trackpad is not working (aprox. 30% on the left of whole trackpad). Use left index finger to move up and down on the gap between windows button and the pad, it seems not working. But the right edge is ok.

But anyway, i use thumb rub at the center and it still working.

Just want to know this is as design or defect? Anyone of your i780 have such issue?

thanks,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] myppcsg:
Nope. No such problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] paullim29:
As for me, my trackpad is 'oversensitive' as described by the technician. The mouse will move by itself and worse thing is that it will simulate the 'clicking' of the button also. Right now it's in the service centre... not sure if they can do anything about it though....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Whammamoosha:
Hello all,

Before my Tab S4's (ZTO original, Brazil open) Pie 9.0 firmware was out, I flashed the official XEF (France open) FW for the sake of previewing One UI and when my tablet's official firmware came out, flashed it on as well.

Now my Tab S4's CSC is stuck in CHO (Chile open), I tried the SIM trick, didn't work. Both times the CSC file, not the HOME_CSC file, was flashed.

According to Phone Info *SAM*, Original CSC is blank, Firmware CSC is CHO, Active CSC is CHO, even though my SIM is brazilian, same region as the tablet's.

Product Code (SM-T835...<REGION>) has CHO as the region, not ZTO. When it was flashed with the XEF firmware, Product Code had XEF instead. That is, the Product Code changes to reflect the DEFAULT CSC for the Multi-CSC.

I have flashed the official ZTO firmware (Multi-CSC) with the SIM in, out and performed factory resets with and without the SIM.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a firmware issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Whammamoosha:
REVERTED back to ZTO: success!!!

As a matter of fact, at least in the case of Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T835), it's now possible to set up ANY CSC as the Country CSC with current firmware/combination firmware. Knox NOT tripped!

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER DAMAGE RESULTS FROM THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

Steps I took to achieve this:

0. Have latest ODIN and PLATFORM_TOOLS installed on a Windows PC; know basic ODIN flashing procedures.

1. Flash the latest firmware you want on the tablet using ODIN (BL, AP, CP and CSC, using standard CSC file, not HOME_CSC file).

2. Flash the combination file (I used the one with PDA version T845XXU2ASA2, see link) in AP.

3. After the tablet reboots to the main screen, TAP ALL CIRCLED LETTERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, in rapid succession.

4. A message telling that you've become a tester pops up briefly at the bottom of the screen.

5. Go to the APPS tab, now you'll see something that wouldn't be there without step 4: a TERMINAL app. Execute.

6. Type "echo -n XXX > /efs/imei/mps_code.dat" (without quotes), where XXX is your desired CSC (must exist in the desired ROM to be installed).

7. Press the power button until the tablet shuts down.

8. Turn the tablet on again.

9. From the command prompt, execute "adb reboot downloader".

10. Flash your firmware (BL, AP, CP, CSC) again. It MUST contain the CSC you wrote in mps_code.dat.

Presto!
