[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] post-mortem:
Devices with A/B partitions do not have a recovery partition. What we think of as recovery is actually part of the boot.img file. When you update the OS, you update the boot.img. The TWRP installer .zip finds and unpacks the boot.img, then modifies it to make the device load TWRP instead of stock recovery. By default, the TWRP installer installs to both A & B partitions. If you screw something up (like flashing the wrong version of TWRP, for example) and put yourself into a bootloop, you can often recover by simply flashing the original boot.img file with fastboot flash boot boot.img .

Here's an article which was written by XDA to help explain the differences in how A/B phones work, and the ramifications for us flashers:

Is there possibility of bringing DC Dimming feature on OnePlus 5/5T?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] surya nivas:
Wait for Android Q
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] dodyakako:
There is no relation between DC Dimming and android version because One Plus 6/6T got it with the last update and the two phones still in android pie....So it can be possible that we can get the feature in our phone before getting update Q .

I mean they wont release that before android Q .
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] intoxicated.mad:
Yeah, generally they introduce new features on beta first and as we all know beta of pie for 5/t is dead, it's most probable that it'll show up with Q beta.

I can not access the bootloader .I have already tried 2.7 .434,2.7 .460,2.7 .472

I do not feel like I have erased or corrupted the bootloader or maybe I can not install the driver as it should

In non-driver certification mode when the phone has just been plugged windows must automatically recognize in (Qualcomm HS-usb qdloader 9008)? because my pc only recognize HS-Usb diagnostics 900E and I have to choose manually (Qualcomm HS-usb qdloader 9008) the right driver to which Windows informs me that it did not install as it should.

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] Prove N.:
Wierd, when I saw J4+ (Snapdragon 425 / msm8917) getting LineageOS 16 got on the news, I thought that ROM for Samsung Snap 425 (this phone included) would explode like crazy.

So, there are 2 options I guess?

Get to work yourself. Guides are plenty on the Internet. Reference tree is already available at J4+ tree/j4primelte

Ask a dev (definitely not me, I'm a broke noob :( ) to make ROM, with the reference of J4+ tree

Good luck o,o/

[Wing, P4350 General] Captainjerky:
Hey all-

First off, I stumbled across these forums while researching the TMobile Wing, and I'll say the extensive community support alone is enough to make me want to buy one (thought I might wait until all the supposed new phone releases in August in the hopes of falling prices...).

Anyway, I just wanted to say 'wow' to all of you who go through so much effort to mod these phones; it's really amazing and again, the ability to make my phone different and customized seals the deal on my plans to buy one.

My question involves ROMs and the Today screen. I searched the forums most of last night, couldn't find anything and am running the risk of getting yelled at by my wife for 'wasting too much time at that damn computer', so I'll just ask and please forgive if this is something I should just know already.

I'd like to try out some of these custom ROMS and change my interface, etc, but a lot of ROM details mention cleaning out the Today screen. I currently have a smartphone running WM5, and I actually like some of those alerts like number of voicemails, text messages, and especially the upcoming calendar appointments. If the Today screen is modded by the people making the new ROMs, is there a way for me to get that data back or manually select which data I want on the Today screen?

Thanks for any responses...
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
You can always reflash back to the stock tmobile rom. You always want to keep a backup of your data though, since every time you flash a rom, it wipes out all the data on your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Ace42:
I don't use 90Hz on my 7P, since endurance isn't a strong suit of the device. We need larger batteries or graphene cells before features like that become viable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Zsomer:
I dont know if you actually seen any proper reviews of the op7p or just spewing the same bs as every reviewer.

Yes, 90hz is a huge deal and makes everything noticably smoother. But the op7p screen is mediocre at best in everything else. Check out the displaymate note10+ review, it literally broke 13 records, 1300+ nit peak brightness, practically perfect color accuracy etc. The note 10+ screen is superior in every single way but one-refresh rate. Its not at all an inferior screen, quite the opposite actually.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] parusia:
I see people bashing Samsung and stating how better the OnePlus display is. I don't know If people realize that Samsung is the manufacturer of the Oneplus Amoled displays. I firmly believed that Samsung got good reasons to not use a 90hz refresh rate display on their flagships this year. One of the main reasons is battery life.

This is the QUESTION & ANSWER section for the 10+ display / refresh rate.

If you have a question or an answer about the 10+ screen, please make sure your comment is respectful and helpful.

If you'd like to discuss other devices, outside of a brief comparison to the 10+, please take those non-10+ device comments to their respective device fora.

If you want to discuss corporate greed regarding the 10+ please take it to the DISCUSSION section.

Bottom line: if your comment is disrespectful, insulting, condescending, attacking, rude, primarily about a non-10+ device, or not directly related to the screen refresh rate of the 10+, please don't post it here!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
60 Hz in the Note 10/10+..

90 Hz does impact on batterylife, hence an optional 90 Hz RR could have been great, especially when the price of the plus is god damn high in many countries.

It is difficult to believe it as a fact that a manufactuer does not provide a good feature just for an honest good reason.

Did Samsung remove the heart rate sensor for a good reason ?

Apple does not provide a dongle or a fast charger for a good reason ?

Did OnePlus stop providing the converter in the box for a good reason?

Yes, for a "different good reason" for sure. :)

Once the 90Hz refresh rate is experienced in the UI, it spoils and difficult to go back to a lower RR - this is undoubtedly true.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Hubird:
When a phone is released as a flagship certain features are expected. Nokia, with their Pureview crazy camera phone made the mistake of using last gen SoC and performance suffered as a result.

The Galaxy S10 range were released with UFS 2.1 when 3 was available and the Pixel 3 had huge bezels that wasted space.

The bar has been raised and companies need to step up, 90hz is now the minimum for any flagship. If battery life is an issue then a bigger battery is needed.

From what I read, once you go 90hz you can't go back to 60hz, that's a big, bold statement!

I don't do blind brand loyalty, they have to work for my hard earned
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Have you experienced 90 hz on a smartphone yet? Everybody said once you experience 90hz and UFS 3.0 you can't go back. Well they were wrong. The oneplus 7 pro has both and it wasn't that impressive. UFS 3.0 is a bigger deal then screen refresh to me but neither are "you can't go back" to the prior thats for sure. Still rocking an S10+ that is "old". Note 10+ should be close to perfection besides hole punch in middle
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
I did, ofcourse with the oneplus 7 pro. The experience of 90 Hz UI transition is buttery smooth and that's immediately noticeable. I do not like the OnePlus 7 Pro for various other reasons, but credit goes where it's due.

2ndly, I do not know who said once UFS 3.0 is used one cannot go back , I've not read anywhere any such thing or personally did not feel something like that, but then to have UFS 3.0 is just better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rapozaum:
I don't mind not having a higher refresh out of the box, but I do wonder if isn't it doable thru editing some settings files?

It does a pretty good job filming in the dark, indeed. But there seems to be no noise reduction at all in manual mode?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] souradeep414:
Great. :) What is the lowest shutter speed available?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sumedh_:
• External implementation of noise reduction algorithms require level_3 support of ca2pi.

• Enabling the same isn't in my domain of development nor the developer's.

• A system developer needs to work on camera2api fix on galaxy A50 on system side.

• After that, you can also use my modded Gcam for A50 here :

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a50/themes/google-camera-samsung-galaxy-a50-t3907288/page15

》How come manual shutter speed is available without camera2api? Why doesn't Google camera work yet ?

• OEM's like Samsung, Huawei etc tend to use their own API's for various purposes over/with Pure Api's from Google.

Hence, even due to limited functionality of pure Api's, various functionalities still can be enabled by Oem's, eg. Manual controls etc.

• Gcam natively requires pure Api's of Google, eg. Camera2api, etc.

Hence there's no other workaround for gcam.
