You can still do lots of videos about it. How to preserve Oxygen OS version, how to downgrade, how to enable back after update...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chris181rt:
Well .. I for one am not taking that kind of update if it does come to Oxygen...

Or we will all get a real photochrome camera and start posting pics of us all looking through "BLACK PLASTIC"
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] scandiun:
I guess it will depend if the update is just the camera.apk or the entire system.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] lucayunxiao:
I'm from China and i got a close communication with some of the developers in oneplus. It's really ridiculous that some of the people via media spread the news that the color filter works like an X-ray. Also a lot of female got afraid of it in weibo which I consider nonsense. Most of the oneplus users in China also got shocked and a bit annoyed. However, the filter would not be removed in oxygen OS according to some news. And in Chinese forum, one of the administer says the filter will be reproduced and likely to come back in June.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] scandiun:
Maybe the camera app should be distributed separately as apk, and then there's no blame to OnePlus. Just preserve the functionality inside the rom.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ifd like to keep this feature and seeing as it's one of the defining feature of that particular lens.

I intend to keep it.

Who can make this lens remain? A mod.

I don't care what they or the worrying vaginas of this planet have to say, I've just seen what type of batteries I've got in this remote.

I'm not going to lose this, in all fairness they can F. O.

They can quote me on that.

It sees through thin plastic and certain materials, not exactly something we can't go out and buy nor is it something that can get a big pair of boobs to be visible.

Infact there are cameras that can do much more

I like this phone as it is, so 10.5.8 is where I'm staying
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Truant_Luce:
As a vagina owner, I'm not concerned about the camera. Even if it sees through clothes, there's so much easier way to get nude photos of people, and the camera can't see through them anyways, or marginally can, and even then, nothing of detail.

But you know what, lets entertain the idea. I'm not concerned, because who has a OP 8 Pro? Not very many... Samsung and apple tend to top a majority of the market. And even then, usually it's obvious to see who is taking photos of you. Not saying all the time or most, but to the average person, it's obvious. And again, none of my clothes it sees through.

Also, this is a neat camera. If they limited the functionality, or disabled it, you bet I'ma be modding up to enable it.

Edit: Also, there are cameras officially out there (DSLR) cameras that do this. No one has grabbed pitchforks for those yet.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] scandiun:
Wasn't aware of that. Could you provide example/youtube video? Would like to see that.

social media just hyped the see thru thing with the one plus 8 pro, i just bought mine yesterday and the first thing i tested is if it is true, none of the result i got is the same that is being hyped out there so disabling this feature is like you paid for something and they just disabled it because of their mistake.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] WBFAir:
Hello all

I just picked up a AT&T S5e last night and was setting it up as much as I could the same as my AT&T Note 9, and for the most part everything worked fine, but in the section for Display>Home screen, there were two options I was trying to get working that would not.

The first was the Home Screen grid layout which for every time I tap on it, it just takes me to the regular full-size home screen and not the screen one that shows it smaller and with the few options below to change the grid layout.

Oddly it does this for the next option down of the Apps grid screen, but not the Home screen grid.

Then the second issue is the selection slider for the Apps button to have that button shown on the Home screen and for that the selector actually slides to the right an goes blue, but when I close this setting page and open it back up, its back to the left again as in that it did not save that selection.

Needless to say the Apps button is not on my Home screen either.

Oddly both of these work correctly on my AT&T Note 9 phone and both when it had Android 9 and now with the 10 upgrade, but they won’t do this on my S5e.

Also btw, I did do the One UI Home upgrade and its now showing it as version 10.0.35.14, and that it’s the latest version.

So has any one else had these same problems?

Thanks

10 years ago fixed S1 GPS problem

https://www.xda-developers.com/hardware-gps-fix-for-the-galaxy-s-i9000-and-i9001/

Now fixed S8 Gps no signal

When no GPS signal or low signal, high probable hardware fault,

many components may cause this problem:

- gps antenna

- filters

- integrated controller

- oscillator

in this case, even antenna having continuity, i found low connection so i fixed it by bridge,

fault is caused by drop but many people discover fault after update and not remember drop :D even phone having cracked glass :D

This fix is not simple if have no experience in soldering

Please don't contact me in pm,

just whatsapp +393512729319

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 862:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 (SM-G1600). I'm wondering what my options are in term of "degoogling" it -- that is, using it without registering it to Google's surveillance systems. Ideally, I'd like a FOSS OS. I've heard good things about LineageOS, but according to this thread, it is not available for the Folder 2, even though it has apparently been done before (see this website, with dead/broken links). Replicant and /e/ are other OS's suggested to me, but they don't seem to have ports out for the Folder 2.

Would using the stock rom and simply not connecting it to Google's services be an option?

Is there anyway to get the SMS and email tabs to look like they do in the regular TouchFlo 3D skin? Whenever I slide to them they take me right into the inbox instead of displaying the message on screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] infernalshade:
Sure, go to the Feng-Shui Config...then to the SMS Tab...There you'll see a shortcut...delete it and write ": p a g e" (without spaces). Click save and then exit...then reload the plugin, and now the sms-function should be enabled :)

This works with all the other tabs too!

uhm well.. :D in my case i like the background...but you can change it:

1. download my setup

2. go to feng_shui/icons/tf3d

3. there you can change the 3 images for the background, i think deleting them will work also!

if you cant create a new background, please let me know, what do you like, and i'll make new ones :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
so can this only be used with the today plugin? i tried it with the standalone app and i get the error that says there was an error loading themes and to make sure theyre properly associated.a
[Windows Mobile Themes] infernalshade:
Uhm...sorry i don't know...normally the same skin is used in the stand-alone-app version! maybe its a throttlelauncher bug!

please report this/ask APBilbo!

sorry, that i cant help you :(

Do you have optimised charging on? If so, the phone will warp charge to 80% then start trickle charging to 100% in the hour or so leading up to you waking up/using the phone. Turn it off if you want max charging all the time

If you're creating a thread (even if i created one earlier this year) PLEASE also post the method of flashing and risks they're assuming, because not all users know how to flash a dload firmware or what it involves AND let them know that FLASHING a different CUST RATHER THEN his device has WILL GET DEVICES SOFTBRICKED!!!!

Good luck :highfive:,

[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hy there,

No it doesn't, because is not a custom rom. It needs only dload firmware (or service rom) with all 3 zips inside (cust+preload+base firmware) if provided. Be aware to flash only dload firmware and not other one (ex. OTA from Firmware Finder), you might get softbricked.

The OP should specify all info's on how to and which is what so users have all details and know from start what they have to do and what files are going to use ;)

I've seem something called heimdall(?) in the twrp 3.3.x.x guide (is that the alternative to odin?)

The S2 is running on lastest stock JB. How do i get it rooted and flash recovery?
