[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Inescapbl:
Keystone,

Correct. I should have used the phrase 'reprogram' by dialing *22803 for Telus users after you reflash your phone. 'Re-activate' was the wrong term.

Second, you are also correct in that my steps failed to say that I upgraded to a third party ROM and that was what I missed. On my second attempt I did upgrade to the third party ROM and all systems are now 'go'.

Third, when I said 'what the heck' I meant that since I had successfully upgraded the bootloader to 2.40 using USB I thought I'd try upgrading to 2.47 using the MicroSD method. You don't need to go into the OS to do that but merely need to get back into the bootloader screen by pressing POWER-CAMERA-SOFT RESET.

The difficulty I had resulted from the fact that the wiki is not clear that in order to install the latest ROM you need to be connected to the phone via USB and on the bootloader screen on your phone. This is where I was slightly confused and didn't understand where to go next. Perhaps you could update your instructions a little? It's funny how one person can read something and think one thing and another can read it and not see what you were thinking! :)

One final note. With respect to these statement: "You then stated that you flashed to the latest radio, but of course a reboot would only bring you to be stuck on the Telus screen if you'd not bothered to also flash to an appropriate ROM.From what you've described, you decided to go a bit your own way, and did not pay close enough attention to the stated steps and problem solving that I wrote in the Wiki.I'm glad that it all worked out for you, but this should be a warning to others to not rush into things without first being clear upon what the Wiki's guides and troubleshooting offer.

Though I appreciate your response I didn't really care for this final note where you took the opportunity to jab at my personal character. I did take the time and did pay attention and did not 'go my own way'. There was just that one step that I mentioned that was confusing. My post was not a personal affront to your wiki and I do appreciate it as do many others. Instead this is perhaps an opportunity to make your wiki even better!

Thanks,

Ry

:confused: I never did anything of the sort! Please, have better respect for other members here and take better care in what you read:

I was not sure what you had presented in the OP and was trying to clarify what had occurred to cause your problems. In many such threads newer people will read and get confused, and that is why I prefer to get to the bottom and then use that information to help prevent such mishaps occurring again. As what I concluded was apparently spot on, then, dude, politely recognising what was - was certainly no comment in-any-shape-nor form upon your character. Smile. :)

The Wiki instructions are attempting to cover nearly all of the bases to best serve the most people and likely problems. There is no single way to flash and there are numerous roadblocks that may occur. Having a simple and linear guide may be nice, but I strongly feel that it leads to rushed and relatively uninformed short-cuts where one error or another problem can leave one stuck and confused.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Inescapbl:
Keystone,

Glad to know it was just a misunderstanding. And to clarify, at no time have I disrespected you or the other fine members of this forum who use their spare time to have some fun with their hobby.

Also for the record, you did not conclude spot on unfortunately as it was not my rushing through the instructions that caused the issue but rather the fact that there is a certain amount of extrapolation required from your instructions to get everything working correctly.

Thanks again for all your help as I do appreciate it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JOSHSKORN:
I'd like to know what are all the differences between all of the Note 9 variants, in terms of what's BL locked and what's rootable.

First of all, I'm under the impression that the Exynos phones are unlockable/rootable. It is also not available in the United States, as I understand, correct? Does that mean it won't work with US Carriers at all?

Also, the Snapdragon version. Now, I don't know what are all of the Snapdragon variants, as I can only speak for my phone and the various posts I've seen about it. I'm on the SM-N960U. Is it fair to say that having a GN9 with a Snapdragon processor mean that your phone cannot be BL Unlocked/Rooted? If any Snapdragon phones can be Unlocked/Rooted, which ones are these and are they compatible with US Carriers?

I don't plan on replacing my Note 9 yet, but maybe next year with another Samsung. I read that the Note line might be going away, in space of the S-line "Ultra". But anyways, my point being when I get a new Samsung Phone, is it possible to get one that is BL Unlockable and Rootable, AND fully compatible with my US Carrier, Tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] yaibakt:
afaik, you have the Note 9's US version already (snapdragon chip version) so its certainly compatible with US carriers in the 1st place.

rooting/bootloader unlocking is another story, irrelevant to what you are concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rosli59564:
I think only US sd version is unlockable.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] shonkin:
It's funny you'd ask this today.... I own an international version (unlocked) Snapdragon variant that *is* rootable... the SM-N9600 (not to be mistaken for the N960u and so on which are NOT rootable). But though my phone is *technically* rootable, there's a very messy issue with it not allowing flashing TWRP / rooting even after the OEM unlock switch is thrown. I oughta know... just again spent hours in vain trying to get it to root. It's a long story and you can find it just by googling "N9600 prenormal" or some such. Anyway, at least on paper there is a Snapdragon Note 9 that is rootable.

Hi all,

Randomly yesterday my Mi9 got stuck in a boot loop. Was working just fine as per normal, then rebooted and kept doing so.

Holding up or down vol took it into fastboot / twrp, but after 1 sec it reboots again.

Has anyone come across this before?

It almost seems like the power button was being continuously held down.

Moisture perhaps? Ive never had it near liquids though, other than maybe some rain.

Its now flat, im wondering what to do next...

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] one028:
Is there a skin available to cover the hinge portion of the Z Fold 2 ? Just looking for the hinge area..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] WyldOne91:
I would imagine that won't end up being a thing because when the fold is open, the hinge disappears inside the phone meaning there may not be enough clearance for a skin on the hinge. Also, you wouldn't want the skin to somehow come off inside the phone while it's open. That being said, I understand where you're coming from and would love some hinge protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] njan_ivide:
I have a transparent thin film on the hinge. So far has not been a problem. Its really super thin to create any issues i think. My thinking: samsung care plus wouldn't cover scratches on the hinge and this phone is too precious to have any, but they do cover hinge issues like squeaky hinge or any permanent hinge issues, so IF anything develops which i highly doubt, care plus it is...

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jordant2:
I purchased these and received them this weekend. They actually sent 10 of them even though I purchased four. It took me three tries to get it right, I kept getting the edges too low at the top or bottom. If I didn't have 10 of them I probably wouldn't have tried it the third time. But it came out pretty much perfect. It wraps around the edges and seems like it might catch when opening but it doesn't at all. Overall I'd recommend this. Excuse some pock lint.

Why Localization

As a mobile app developer or marketer, one of your main goals will always be to increase your app’s visibility and exposure. This automatically leads to an increase in the app’s MAU (monthly active users) and, ultimately, your revenue. To really maximize your potential reach, you’ll want to customize your app to serve different users in different regions with different preferences, and that is done through mobile app localization. Mobile app localization allows you to go beyond your user base and access a global market. This helps you increase your downloads, have an edge over the competition, and expand sales.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] gonintendo:
Ever since I got my note I've been annoyed that some non-samsung apps had a white nav bar in dark mode (e.g. google messages). I use gesture navigation, and my expectation is that the nav bar should be clear revealing the content below it. Hiding the gesture hint is an option but I like having it there sine it makes switching apps easier and shifts tab bars up a little but, preventing accidental touches.

I've seen posts about changing the color using ADB but that's too cumbersome to have to do every reboot or after applying a theme. I found a reddit post detailing a tasker task which is supposed to let you set the nav bar color to any arbitrary color, but you need to use a separate tool in order to compute the value of the color (since android settings uses a decimal representation of the color rather than the usual hex code) and the provided one no longer seems to be working. Setting a custom color is not really what I wanted it to do anyway (I wanted it to be clear, as it is in most apps). This task also seems to not set navigationbar_current_colorwhich is needed on our devices.

So I went ahead and made a modified version of this task which does work on my note 20 ultra, and just sets the nav bar color to clear:

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=...cqdIuFWjZaj&id=Task:Set+Navbar+Color+to+Clear

Of course you should use this at your own risk. Samsung hardcodes the nav bar color to white to avoid burn in, so if you change the color to something else and view a lot of white content above the nav bar, you may experience burn in. If clear is not your preferred color, I pre-computed some different values that you can replace the color_codevalue with:

Gray: -14671579

White: -1

Black: -16777216

Clear: 0

If you do want to use a custom color here's a little JS snipped that will compute it:

function computeColor() {
// Color code #202125 with an alpha of 1
var r = 0x20;
var g = 0x21;
var b = 0x25;
var a = 0xFF;
var value = (a << 24) | (r << 16) | (g << 8) | b;
console.log(value.toString()); // this will output -14671579

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] lazyboy0172:
I haven't had a samsung phone in a while. Previously, I remember unlocked variants usually getting updates behind the carrier variants. Is that still the case? what about other advantages or disadvantages? Does unlocked mean I can unlock the bootloader? how easy is it to remove carrier bloatware? If I do want to go unlocked and unlock the bootloader (assuming that's even possible) is there generally a decent custom rom scene for samsung phones these days? Does GCam work well with the regular S20 (assuming it will work similarly on this phone)?

For some context, I'm coming from having Pixel phones for a few years. I had a Galaxy S6 a while ago but the samsung bloat eventually got on my nerves. Hoping things have slimmed down since then or that it's easier to mask by using other apps as defaults, good lock, gcam, etc. So mostly wondering if I should buy unlocked as I usually do for pixel, or a carrier variant. And also just some general tips about customizing samsung phones in 2020 since I haven't had to look into it for about 5 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
So the US Unlocked models will work with any US carrier. The advantage is if you switch carriers the phone works seemlessly. In addition, there is no carrier bloat and all Samsung features are enabled. The phone being Unlocked has nothing to do with the bootloader and North American Snapdragon models are NOT bootloader unlockable.

With T-MOBILE, all carrier features work. With Verizon, everything except for carrier video calling works. AT&T has some proprietary features that may not work such as WiFi calling.
