Does this method allow one to still use the Stock Samsung OS, or, does this involve using a Custom ROM? Thanks for your time.

Ok. I'm new to all of this - could I follow the same steps for a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model to achieve the same Privacy while being able to use Samsung One UI combined with full S-Pen functionality? If this is possible and just so I am on the same page, I could also completely remove GAPPS/Google Play Services and replace with MicroG? If the method to achieve this is different on a Note 9, do you know if there are any Instructions? Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keule-Tm:
It should all be the same. For specifics have a look in the N9 forum (I don't own one, so for specific steps I can't help).

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] InstaHelpster:
Possible to "Force Full screen" on games already set as "Full screen" (modify files?)

Hi guys,

I have set games on my phone to "Full screen" either by changing the aspect ratio or through the settings, but the games never take up the full screen of my S10.

The camera "Nav bar" is still there, and the game doesn't take up the entire display. For example games like "Need for speed: Most wanted" take up the entire display when set to full screen, but if I was to use the same option for "GTA:CTW" the game doesn't take up the entire screen.

Here is the issue I am having, comparing both game: (Screenshots) imgur.com/a/agIwyRB

Couple of other games that do this on my S10, can't seem to find a solution.

I don't mind the camera hole messing with the UI, flipping my phone around isn't an issue - just want the games to take up the entire screen

Was wondering if it was possible to edit the .apk to change this? Are there any developers who have recently updated their apps to support complete full screen on S10?

Hi thanks for the reply, I don't have an issue with GTA:SA - it is with GTA: China Town Wars (GTA:CTW) and other games like Monster Hunter Stories and Final Fantasy 7 to name a few.

If you have one of those games, try running it in full screen.

Here is a screenshot: imgur.com/a/agIwyRB
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Fifth313ment:
Yeah, this is driving me nuts as we know Samsung's have a horrible burn-in problem and I don't want this to happen. I have an S8 and when playing Monster Hunter Stories it says it's full screen optimized but the navbar buttons disappear but the black bar stays their ruining my screen while playing. WTF?! Anyone have any suggestions as I'm sure they apply to everything from. The S8 to current S10 and all the Notes in between. Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tweaky2017:

i have experiencing same problem with s10e. standoff 2 won't run in full screen mode. it is very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Krikoo:
On S10e I also encounter this strange resuliuon related issue. Games think I have a tablet and everything goes tiny. I thought this is a problem with the game itself (just search south park phone destroyer zoomed out issues) but then I realized that this is more like a Samsung related issue. Now, if I go into the device settings to hide the upper bar (don't know the exact name but I mean the line where the camera punch hole is in) the game starts to behave like I have a normal sized phone. The downside of this that now I have 2 huge black bars at the edges when I'm playing. Is there any workaround this? I mean, I don't want to hide the camera and make the actual screen size smaller just because I want to play a game normally.

Samsung is actively investigating the cause of Galaxy Fold incident, and said it will soon bring this smartphone back to the market.In an interview with the Korea Herald, Koh Dong-Jin, head of Samsung's mobile division, said he was considering "errors caused by substances" used on the Galaxy Fold and will draw conclusions "in a few more days ".*

The company will take measures to "strengthen the durability of contact areas on the hinge, reduce the small gap between the protective layer and the main screen border to prevent dirt or foreign substances from entering the device"Answering questions about the possibility of Galaxy Fold sold in the US in May, Koh declined to comment.

Galaxy Fold launched with Galaxy S10 on February 20, then handed to journalists and technology experts before the opening date expected on April 26. However, two days later, CNBC products experienced a broken screen. Experts from Bloomberg, Verge and the Wall Street Journal removed the special film to protect the screen and caused a malfunction.The Korean company immediately requested the recall of all the test goods and announced the delay in selling products.*Samsung said that the Galaxy Fold, especially the screen protector, needs to be re-researched before going to market.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
The tablet is owned by someone else and they want to use one app called Landscape Magazine. On the Nexus 7 it runs fine but the battery just went on it and I'm having issues sourcing a replacement battery in the UK so that's where the HD8 comes in. I thought I could just put the Play Store on (plus framework etc) and it would be ok for them. It downloads the app fine, all others work fine but when I try to launch this one app it says it only works on Android tablets. I don't know why they'd code it that way but it is what it is.

Can anyone tell me if there's some way to get an app to run if it's throwing up an error like this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Not easily. It would take experimentation to determine which device or rom characteristic(s) are trigging the behavior followed by additional fiddling to entice the app to run. Tethering that Nexus 7 to a slim power bank may be the best solution.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erono:
NEED ROOTED.

/system/build.prop

ro.product.brand = Amazon

ro.product.manufacturer = Amazon

Change to 'Google' or etc.

I think amazon is banned by the app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nujak:
The exact error message is "This app is only suitable for the Android platform."

Didn't see the pictures attached by [MENTION=4833261]erono[/MENTION]. If you root the tablet (or may be possible in temp root shell) and change the keys he mentioned, the app works after reboot.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
Thanks all for replying, especially erono who seems to have found the solution. I'll see what I can do with it because my understanding is that there is still no major Android build for the 2018 HD8. I have a starting point if nothing else and that's more than I had before!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nujak:
You could always root it and just edit BuildProp (excellent guide by bibikalka) . As far as other ways, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know any alternatives. Maybe without root, you might be able to pull BuildProp from the elevated shell and push it back after changing the lines. I'm sure there would be some permissions changes required. Hopefully someone with a bit more experience pops in and can guide you if rooting isn't an option.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
No need to modify build.prop nor will any notable gains be realized by doing so. Simply follow the guides as written.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nujak:
Yeah, sorry I meant in specific context to having that particular app work on the HD 8 2018. Thanks to [MENTION=4833261]erono[/MENTION] (and testing it myself) Lanscape Magazine works with changing brand and manufacturer values in the BuildProp. I know it's possible and easy to do with root. I'm just not knowledgeable enough to know any other methods.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erono:
Method without root:

Use 'App Cloner (pro version)' create an cloned app.

You can modify MANUFACTURER and BRAND in 'Developer options -> Build props'.

App was modified, you can't update in Google Play Store or purchase any paid content.

This is not a good way.

Hi,

recently I hardbricked mi Mi5s. After reading and trying a lot of things, I managed to unbrick it. So, I left this as a guide of things to try in case someone else hardbricks it.

How did I brick it:

I was trying to fix finger sensor by flashing in EDL mode fastboot ROMS, in order to reflash persistent.img . I accidentally flashed a mi5 (gemini) ROM on the mi5s. After that, the PC recognised the device only as "hs-usb qdloader 9008" in the Windows Device Manager, associated with a COM port. (In my pc, it was COM7 or COM8).

How did I unbrick it:

I disabled integer_checks (following the androidbrick guide provided below) and installed new driver for qdloader 9008.

After that, I used miFlashTool (https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/) and flashed latest global stable fastboot rom (https://en.miui.com/thread-5927598-1-1.html)

Note: if miFlashTool crashes, create a folder in miflash folder, and rename it to "log".

If you don't have a unlocked bootloader, you *must* use the test-point trick. (Use a deep flash cable) .

Links:

Driver that worked: https://www.mediafire.com/file/so0uvkd6nm6ie1m/Driver_x64.cab/file (x64) & https://www.mediafire.com/file/ryjc83s2ku6mmh5/Driver_x86.cab/file (x86)

Although it didn't work for me (i suspect thats becouse i hadn't installed the driver above), guide to use Qualcomm QFIL: https://en.miui.com/thread-432217-1-1.html

Another guide to Qualcomm QFIL: https://www.androidbrick.com/ultima...s-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil_edl/

If the PC doens't detect the mobile after installing that driver, it means that you're NOT into EDL mode. If you can't enter fastboot or EDL mode, you need a Deep flash cable. You can fabricate yourself one (there are youtube tutorials for that) using a test-point , or you can buy one from Aliexpress: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/PHON...290.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.594263c0eXl7Lh

Hi all

I was wondering if there is a way to change the default Lenovo logo boot screen (not bootanimation) that appears as soon as you turn the tablet on.

I want to add a custom logo & looking in /system/media I can see the following file - loading.zip. This has the existing default logo in it. I tested by amending the bg.png file (just rotated the lenovo sign in the graphic - kept the original format & resolution) rezipped and replaced the existing zipfile with my new one into /system/media. I also reset all permissions on the file.

However, when I reboot the device, I can the original (without the amendments I have made).

Any help on this would be very much appreciated - thanks. :D

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] AurioDK:
Many of the cheaper phones which claim to have 48 MP cameras use an interpolated solution to provide a 4x12 MP image. I can excuse companies to use this method on very cheap phones.

Samsung uses (Tetracell) technology from late 2018 to create a hardware computed 8x4 image while claiming to have a 32 MP camera, this clearly shows when zooming in to crop an image, the blur is real unlike my S8+ f.ex. which actually only has a 12 MP camera. I want to shoot 16:9 photos and these are strictly limited to 8 MP, 4:3H does produce 4x8 but it´s still nowhere near the quality of the S8+ 12 MP camera. I was naive to think that Samsung wouldn´t pull a trick like this on their customers, the shots at low light clearly show the limitations of the camera.

I called Samsung support in Denmark and explained the problem, the lady told me I could choose whatever picture size I wanted in any aspect ratio.... she told me to wait as she was going to find out how, she came back 5 minutes later and told me she couldn´t do it on her models ... of course not, I already knew that. I left her my email because she asked .... not going to do any good.

The pictures are nice for the most part ... just don´t zoom. My Umidigi F1 for 180 dollars takes overall worse pictures but the zooming is far better on pictures as the lines are straight without blur regardless of how much I zoom in, it does not have any low light capability however.

PS: HW sensors will report the cameras as 8 MP because they don´t understand the 4x8 technology. As it is I believe all third party camera apps will detect the same and be limited to 8 MP.
