Thanks for your implication, but as of today, this rom is not at acceptable level and can not compete with eg: CORVUS V13 and some others.

Exemple: BT audio missing is unacceptable.

Respect for your work.

yeah and that rom is aosp xd more easy to fix things , and caf take some time idk care corvus

I've been running the 1/23 build and everything is working great!! Really smooth and responsive.

Edit: Yeah I take that back. Bluetooth is still broken. If you don't care about that then it's a great ROM.

Edit2: Figured I'd try the 2/2 build. Yep, BT still broken. But this is one of the most stable ROMs I've tested!!

Is there a "how-to" to edit what the cube? I want to change the launcher for the aio/movie/picture side of the cube. I want it to launch a program like Igo. But while I can change the program, the icon looks strange and it didn't change the picture of the "headphones" so I don't know what else to do.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Modifiedwheeler:
I have searched for 2 days now and tried countless fixes for this issue, even fixes that have nothing to do with the phone. When I plug my 7 pro into my Windows 10 desktop it is instantly recognized and I can access files. When I plug in my 8T I get "USB device not recognized."

It's actually more complicated than that though. I tried using a different cable, it worked for a bit. It loaded and I could access it. Cool. Went to the MSM tool to flash the global rom and right as it started going the phone disconnected and the "USB device not recognized" error popped up. Now the phone is bricked. Black screen, doesn't vibrate when I plug it in. Can't unbrick it with the MSM tool as it's not a recognized USB device and isn't connecting with the computer.

Tried connecting it to my Samsung Galaxy Book 2. Same thing. 7 pro is fine, 8T isn't recognized.

I have tried removing and reinstalling drivers. I have tried unplugging the computer and all cables. Tried several other things. Searched youtube, google, duckduckgo, this forum, oneplus forums, and asked at r/oneplus and got no reply from anyone.

Can this be saved?

Update: Connected another OnePlus 8T to my computer and it popped up an option to install drivers from a cd that doesn't exist. It seemed to think the phone attempting to install drivers was coming from a CD. Never could get it to work, used the .exe file I already had and installed drivers and now that phone is recognized and I can access the files. This never happened with the other phone. It was errors from the start.

I like Ringke brand cases, ordered this one for now:

View attachment 5189679

they don't go over-the-head on prices. I know, I always hear: "oh, so you spent over a thousand bucks on the phone and then put it in a cheap case!", Well a case is a case, one has to be careful regardless of the assumed 'perfect' protection and not let the phone drop to the floor. Looks like this is the only available so far Ringke case on Amazon. To me, the Ringke Fusion-X is the most solid, been using one right now on my Pix 4a5g.

I will be getting the Galaxy S21 Ultra S-View Cover with S Pen – $89.99 eventually, when I get my $50 pre-order bonus, I use the S-View cover on my N10+ and after 1.5 years of use its condition can still be called 'mint'
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] Maddmatt:
Not loving any of the case options so far. Most look bulky. The S21 Ultra is a chonker already, so I want something slim that looks good.

Spigens slim fit case looks ok but their 'slim' cases aren't super slim these days, not like the ones they used to make for older phones... and it only comes in a generic plain black.

Samsung's official leather case looks the best so far, and I like the idea of leather, feels and looks nice rather than plain old TPU or hard plastic of most cases.

Just wish they had some more variety in colour and design. You just have brown or black... I think I'll get the black one, and then see if anything more interesting comes out.

Another one that caught my eye is this Nillkin case with nylon fabric on the back:

nillkin.org

It actually looks just like the official case I have for my Oneplus 6, wonder if they made it too. If it's just like it, it'll be a nice case. The fabric on the back feels nice in the hand and looks good in person. Plus it doesn't collect fingerprints.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] 2015Ducatimulti:
I pre-ordered the LaterCase, I had the cyber series for my note 20 ultra and loved it, the way it covers the camera bump, so right after i pre-ordered my s21 ultra, i went to LasterCase and ordered a case from them.

Galaxy S21 Ultra Case

Every Latercase is made with premium aramid fibers. They’re hand-laid by skilled craftsmen, precision-formed to fit your S21 Ultra, then laser-cut to perfection. Latercase is easy to put on, easy to take off, and coated with a durable matte finish that's addictive to touch. Oh - and it's just...

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] Corlan:
Most of them either look bulky or don't seem to have much protection around the camera. Anyone seen any good ones that hold an s pen?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] mike.jr:
Ture. Not a fan of bulky cases because they just do not look good. Haven't seen any cases with the s pen holder beside the Samsung one.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] Jonson B.:
I'm waiting for the PITAKA case for my S21. https://www.ipitaka.com/?country_override=US. The quality of their cases is super good as those cases are made of aramid fiber. I bought their MagEZ case 2 years ago. Though the case is slim, it saved my phone from several severe falls. I can't think of any other cases for my S21.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
I swore by these cases since the Brick series came out, and the FIRST time I dropped my S20, it shattered. I went with a better case after that, which is a shame because I love the design.

Oh, and the one they made for the iPhone 12 was godawful. They show it as the same matte back, but it's so frosted you can't see anything through it, it just looks white on my Blue 12 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] steelersmb:
I don't understand why they don't protect the buttons though. It looks like a really nice case but they leave the buttons unprotected.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] peterg21:
I was going to purchase the black leather but then I decided to look at the reviews of the leather cases for the s20 and note 20 series on Samsung's web site. Not good reviews at all in terms of durability. So still have not made my mind up on what case.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] blackhawk:
Get a good case* and urethane wet apply** screen protectors -before- it arrives.

Damaging a high dollar phone on the first drop isn't worth going bare even for a few days.

It's new and there be slim pickens. You'll probably toss a few because they suck.

On my 10+ I always use the Zizo Bolt case (not available for your model yet) and Gorilla IQ Sheild.

*a two layer is best; urethane inner liner with a polycarbonate outer shell. Raised guards around the whole screen and cam.

Corners that can take a direct strike on concrete from 4 feet.

**dry apply are horrors to apply and don't last as long.

Also interested in Spigen Hybrid cases the Clear one but UAG are way better in protection and in hand feel ! I had one for S8+ and iPhone and ever since then I missed it for my OP phones!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] Corlan:
I've always used Spigen. That said, I've not seen anything that excites me yet. I really want to see someone other than Samsung release a case that holds the S Pen. I know the phone was only just announced, but some of them must be working on it, hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] nick191:
Spigen will definitely come up with that ! Not sooner but later...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] chazfarote:
I think I'm going with the SUPCASE Unicorn Beattle Pro. I saw the S21 case does not have the plastic screen protector, so I'm going to also need to get that.

On Amazon I've seen some that come with a case and tempered glass screen protector, but I don't know how good they may be.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] Yili_F:
My opinion is Latercase is a KNOCKOFF of PITAKA!

I think the design doesn't bother me. Such cutout allows me to use the actual buttons of my phone instead of having to press the case to activate the buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] 2015Ducatimulti:
could be, but none of the Pitaka cases cover the actual camera bump!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
I got a few for my S21.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R8SHCSY/ - I got this for my S20 FE and it's a really nice case, for being a no-name generic one. It's about $3 on Aliexpress but I didn't want to wait 2 months to get it, so I paid the extra to go through Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SCB3BJF/ - Used this for my S20 and on my iPhone 12 Pro. Just a solid case overall. Gorgeous too, great matte finish.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MV9DLKK/ - Always been a fan of this case series, and I'm using the green version on my Pixel 4a 5G. The purple will go great with the violet S20.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] peterg21:
This case has interested me and apparently this brand is a subsidiary/sister of Spigen. One review mentioned that the pattern on the back wears off. Did you find this to be the case (no pun intended) with the one you have now?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
Caseology isn't a sister brand of Spigen, you're thinking of Cyrill. Caseology has been around FOREVER though. As for the pattern wearing off, that's highly unlikely, considering it's not printed, it's an actual 3D texture to the TPU. It's not nearly as "sharp" as the pictures make it look, but the hexagons are definitely indented into the TPU, gives it a nice grip. Mine just arrived today.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] peterg21:
Thanks for the reply. I may just buy one in black. Regarding Caseology, it apparently is a brand name of Spigen. Go to the end of this page: About Us | Caseology (caseologycases.com)

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] peterg21:
I like the leather but am concerned about durability. I hope others who have had the Samsung leather on previous phones will pipe up.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
That's actually really annoying. Everyone sucks Spigen's **** so bad, especially on Reddit, and I find their cases to be overhyped crap. Sad that I'm a fan of this brand of theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
It's a SUPER thin leather. I had the Apple leather cases and loved them. The samsung ones feel like they shaved the thinnest piece of leather off the top and glued it onto a case.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] peterg21:
That is not very encouraging.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] katolink:
Anyone intending to use pouches instead of cases? Any recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
No, it's not. I had the S10 leather case and it was a joke. The S20 leather seemed a LITTLE better?

Honestly, these phones are so fragile I'm putting mine in a Tech21 Evo Check, or something of the sort. I had my S20 in a Cyrill Color Brick with a Whitestone dome protector, seemed durable enough. One drop shattered the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] karandevilocs:
i bought this one Cyrill Color Brick but from local amazon for cheaper (15euros) and its a BEAUTY ! i knew that its a fine case since its a Spigen company but the custom button colors and the cutouts and feel on this is soooo goood!

couldn't decide between this or liquid air and im glad that i went with this since it looks so much cooler to the bland black look of liquid air.

but at the end you can't go wrong with Spigen used 3 of their cases on my note 8 too!

I picked up the Supcase Beetle for my wife's S21+ and it is very tanky looking. She's rough on the phone so it should work great. I bought the spigen rugged armor and while it is slim, it feels like the case sucks the moisture out of my hand. I will probably head back to Otterbox and use the Commuter series. It served my S10 well for 2 years and survived many nasty falls.

I am quite disappointed that Seidio is out of business. Have used the Surface case and belt clip since the Blackberry Storm days. Ordered the Encase Rebel w/belt clip for my S21, as it's the only top load belt clip I could find, but the case is slippery hard plasticy feeling. Going to have to try the Spigen tough armor and Incipio Duo instead, but will probably have to see if either fit in the holster from the Encase combo. Anybody else see any dual layer cases with PC outer shell that's not too bulky? the UAG Monarch just seems quite big from the pics, or is that deceiving?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] mistical:
I've been using Caseology cases ever since the Galaxy S8+ (as well as the S10+, S20 Ultra and now the S21 Ultra). To be more specific, it's the Parallax series I use (originally it was the Vault II series).

Unless something forces me to have to change from this brand and series, I don't ever see myself paying to try other cases. The feel these cases have in my hand yet alone how they feel wrapped around these phones just feels right to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] ToastyZ71:
Looked at the Caseology cases. I'm just not a fan of the TPU outer. Just personal preference really, they don't look like bad cases
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] peterg21:
I bought, on the recommendation of a member here, the Caseology Parallax case in black for my S21 Ultra. I quite like it. The Spigen Neo Hybrid was also considered but have not bought it yet. Other ideas were the Samsung Official leather in black but really lousy reviews in terms of durability, from that same member here and on samsung.com and bestbuy. I too have bought Tech21 Evo Check cases for my Note 9 (smokey black and orchid, the latter for some reason being more durable from a scratch perspective than the Smokey Black). Only small issue with the Parallax is that the protection for the rear cameras is really marginal. It looks good, has decent grip, but not Tech21 protection level but more attractive.

This does not show it, but the camera protection is really very shallow.

Anyone recommend a case like the IMAK Cowboy case? Basically an ultra thin solid minimal case with a little friction on the outer?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] entropism:
The IMAK cases are generic cases that about 50 different companies sell on Aliexpress. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they're pretty much all the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] myn:
Could you please direct me to these cases you're referring to? I apparently am having issues finding them.

The IMAK Cowboy case I thought was pretty unique as it's a very rigid hard but thin case with this light soft sandpaper finish on the outside.

I have bought this case and I am very satisfied with it. Seems very solid. On my Note 10+, it protects the edges nicely. It is thick enough but not extremely. Tech21 says it should withstand a drop from 12 feet (3.6 metres). And it has a MICROBIAL coating, a pretty neat feature (not sure if all the cases have these properites).
