[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kidcash:
Hello.

I have an S7 which originally had Android Marshmallow on. The GUI was very good. I upgraded to Nougat then Oreo in hopes of better performance, features etc however the

GUI is terrible. Letters on icons especially on the dropdown menu from the top are so small. Using it just appears not as smooth flowing like Marshmallow was and Jerky somewhat.

Is there any possible mod or solution such as :

1. Custom Firmware which has all the latest features of Oreo, but an older Gui such as of Marshmallow or previous

2. Last resort is how to downgrade back to Marshmallow.

I really liked the GUI that S4/S5 had, big icons, good contracting and easy to use. S7 Marshmallow more modern but still great. Any later is terrible.

Any advice appreciated as I'm new to this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] It_ler:
AFAIK Samsung changed something in the bootloader in some of its firmware updates what prevents from (easy) downgrading.

If it's just the small font, you can increase the font size in system settings.

Or change the resolution of the display.

If it's also the performance, you can check for a custom ROM with hopefully better performance.

Many users like LineageOS (LOS).

HI Ryan,

Could you please give me some more detail how to install it? The linked zip is different from this one attached by you, at the end of post. Which one is right than?

Second - can I unpack files just somewhere on my internal memory or does it have to be root folder? I am not rooted by the way and I had been looking for good sound mod without root and so I found your post with DTS. I cannot install it.... Thanks for help!

Regards!

Hi everybody

i need to buy this monster but i have some question, iam going to buy it on wondamobile with the china rom.

1. its possible to have ota update after flash with global version?

2. the warranty is 2 year ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I have read you need to update manually after you have an unlocked bootloader because if you relock it will brick the device
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] daonei:
For those that have the China variant abroad, can you provide your thoughts and experiences thus far? Thought it would be nice to have a centralized thread for those considering to pick up a China variant over the Global one.

Some issues of interest...

Network Connectivity (despite missing bands)

Calls & Visual Voicemail

Issues with Google Services

App functionality

Backup and Sync of phone, apps, etc

Language limitations

MIUI Updates

Cost and Customs fee
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
No current issues in UK using Sky and EE. Bought from Wondamobile, no customs and currently using FedEx via Singapore and Paris.

My cloud and back up working just fine as is the mini Google apps set. Will go EU ROM once bootloader is unlocked next Thursday.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mstrflsh:
On your China ROM, is Google PAY working with UK banks?

I'm wary of ordering the China model if it doesn't work. Unlocking the bootloader and then getting Google Pay to work is much more difficult since Feb when Google changed things so I'd keep it locked.

P. S. Is wifi calling with EE working too?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ojwm:
Google Pay (and banking apps) working perfectly for me with UK banks.

You have to change default wallet within the phone settings from MI Wallet to HCE wallet (takes seconds).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mstrflsh:
Oooh that's encouraging! Thanks for the info.

Two others questions then please...

1) Does Android Auto work?

2) Can you assign the Google Discover feed to the left of the homescreen?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Guitarfreak26:
Android auto doesn't work for me unless someone has a fix. I have random issues with opening drive links etc too. Will try eu rom Tuesday afternoon :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Ojwm:
Android Auto - appears to work perfectly. Only installed to test and don't actually use it at all but it seems fine.

Google Discover - I haven't found a way to do that I'm afraid (I'm also a fan of it). Best workaround I've found is adding Google search widget to home screen. If you press the 'G' symbol on that, it essentially loads Google Discover.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Guitarfreak26:

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] YoSoyCarlosG:

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:

Everything is 👌
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
What's the differences in global and eu ?

Does anyone know yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
Except for chinese bloatware and -1 screen using chinese apps, there is no difference.

Ah, you need to find a google play store apk, but that takes like 5 mins
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] *justintime*:
There are differences in the bands. Yes 4G and 5G will work but not 5G N78 that's the 3.5ghz frequency.

So don't expect blazing fast 5G speeds on CN version.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I got 250MB/s yesterday on the Chinese version

Not great by 5g standards but coverage is patchy in my city and I wasn't in direct line of sight of it....

That was sitting in a restaurant
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
EU ROM is basically a community led Custom ROM with good support based on the China ROM.

Global is the ROM Xiaomi officially puts on the models of their phones they launch internationally. It uses google messages, dialer, etc by default.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] *justintime*:
Actually it was a response on @linnil that the devices ARE different...in regards of bands.

For me one of the reasons to order Global Version.

As I said 5G and 4G wil work but not on all frequencies.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I live in a country that uses n78 exclusively

I have seen screenshots posted of 500-700mb

Although I got about half that

On kimovil.com it says the 5g 4g 3g and 2g bands are the same but that could be erroneous
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
Different people have different needs. 250mb vs 700mb per second doesn't worth extra few hundred bucks imho. But are more than good enough. But it is just me.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] *justintime*:
What extra bucks?? On AliExpress Global cost the same as CN version.

However Trading shenzhen lowered the prices now. But not when I ordered.

But my point was you claimed they are the exact the same.... Some users may be disappointed afterwards.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Death'87:
They're not erroneous, the CN version use only 2CA (channel aggregation) while the global version use up to 4CA.. I'm just curious to know if flashing global rom over the CN device will use 4CA 'cause the modem.img maybe can unlock various combination of aggregation. Could someone download the app NetMonster and show the channels aggregation?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I have installed it, how to check?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
WRT Google Pay, have you been able to add a Paypal account to GPay on a CN ROM ? Presently trying with my Mi11 Ultra but it fails all of the time....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
ah, my bad. i thought the OP stated clearly "dispite missing band". So i don't need to repeat that.

CN version and global version always carries at least 20% difference. You might not see it when they sell CN version at a premium, but that is not the norm.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sazeraque:
Hi everyone, long time XDA lurker, first time poster here. Hope I'm in the right spot.

I have a 3XL that bricked overnight similar to what I've seen on other posts (for example: https://xdaforums.com/t/fix-pixel-3...Rj7bE_8k87pI2zaSnIskWwmvsbMpMeVBlmWrHPsqhUY0c)

Long story short, can't get it to boot, isn't recognized by fastboot/adb. I started following this guide https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qpst-flash-tool-download-usage-guide/ and my phone is recognized, but like one user in the xda post (above), I don't know where to get the raw firmware file that I need to move forward (need elf or mbn file with maybe some xml files?). I've been searching high and low and this is where I'm stuck. I've seen some mentions about needing to get these files from someone who actually has a working 3 XL, but I'm not sure if that's the only option. Does anyone have any insight that could help me move forward?

And on that note, if I manage to recover the phone using this method, will it be recovered right back in the state it was, or will it be freshly formatted? Again, I've read lots on this, but I can't seem to get a straight answer. To be honest, while getting the phone working again would be amazing, my priority is recovering the data from the phone, so if this QPST recovery will only end up giving me back a naked phone, then I'm open to alternatives.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] stpenn123:
Currently in the exact same boat as you, unfortunately...

I'm also mostly interested in just getting to my data, although having a working phone again would be nice.

I can get the serial port to show up in qpst but I'm pretty much at a stand still from there, can't get anything else to work.

Have you had any luck??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Aszazell:
I'm in the same position as you guys, pixel 3 XL bricked, bootloader locked, no recovery just Fastboot Mode (With OEM Locked, any command wil not work there.. thank u so much Verizon), I was looking and this seems to be the only way but I can not find any dump from a pixel 3 xl working to flash in EDL Mode, if you guys can find something let me know, I'm gonna try to find it on my side too :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sazeraque:
Unfortunately I never found a solution. QPST recognized the phone, but could never successfully connect to it. While Googling the issue, I noticed that this has happened to a number of other people too, and it often seems to coincide with updates, so it could be linked although good luck getting Google to admit to that.

I ended up swapping the phone out for an S21. This is the first phone that has even bricked itself so bad that I couldn't recover anything from it, and seeing how it has happened on many generations of the Pixel line, I wasn't very tempted to get another one unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] binyah:
Chiming in with a similar story to the rest of you folks.

I'm an experienced user that knows his way around adb/fastboot and flashing custom ROMS and whatnot, but in this case I have a completely stock Pixel 3XL that I woke up to find in this hard bricked EDL state. I am up-to-date with any and all updates for the OS and I usually pull those down on release day or very shortly after. No idea what update could have caused this, but in my case, I am overseas with a bricked cell phone - SUCKS.

Hopefully the QPST files can be located so that we can recover from this bull****.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bpdamas:
I know some people with a working 3 XL. Are there instructions on how to extract the necessary files from a working phone to flash through QPST on the bricked phone?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dishe2:
I just ordered a 3 XL for my daughter and I'm getting scared seeing these stories. Is it just aged hardware related? Or is it update related? It's weird that it seems to be happening over the last few months on the 3 series which makes me think its either related to an update that rolled out or just mileage until failure of the chips?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] myklbear:
I have had for two years a used one year old 3XL and had no problems. If someone has instructions, I would be glad to extract what is needed. At this phase it has only been unlocked to use DNS66 though I consistently ROM'd all my earlier phones. Age related ;-)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryn0909:
i have a kindle fire hd 7 (i believe its 2nd gen) model# on back cover says x43z60. Messing around with unlocking software, i attempted to unlock bootloader and when it rebooted, the screen went black (as expected) but then it never came back on. its not being recognized in device manager. nothing comes up on the kindle screen. it appears to be completely bricked. upon searching for solutions online, i ended up purchasing usb microB breakout board (from sparkfun) to build my own "factory fastboot cable". after following the directions for using it, i still have NOTHING. lol so i took the back cover off, disconnected the battery for a couple hours, plugged it back in and still nothing. i have also tried everything, from holding power button down for 20seconds, 30 seconds etc... and nothing. then i noticed on the mainboard some writing that peaked my interest, thinking it may help with unbricking this device. see attached picture.

[General Questions and Answers] HelpWithGames:
I've tried all the commonly suggested troubleshooting tips for unresponsive or problematic apps (from the simple deleting cache to the drastic factory reset). Real Racing 3, Mobile Legends, and Darkness Rises are the 3 games that currently do not wish to load past the startup screen. For the most part, it seems to be caused by a server timeout. This also seems to be in no way related to my network connection, due to the fact that pubg mobile starts and runs smoothly. I'm always running the latest software and this problem has been plaguing my Galaxy S20 Ultra since approximately fall of 2020, first noticed with Mobile Legends (a game I played quite often for a couple months prior to this).
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
My guess is the 3 mentioned games have a problem with data corruption already occurrred whilst downloading them. Take note that an app's resources ( images, graphics ) typicallly get stored in /Android/obb folder hence isn't affected by a Factory Reset.

The get the very reason why these games don't start do a LOGCAT. Take note that you can filter Android's logcat output because there are many messages which are not of interest for you. More info here:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
So I've been recently trying to benchmark my Axon 7 with AnTuTu (running latest official Oreo on my phone). It scores around 187000 with AnTuTu v9.0.3. My question is why it says on AnTuTu that my phone doesn't support Vulkan API. AnTuTu uses Vulkan to further test GPU power. I read somewhere that Snapdragon 820 and Adreno 530 are capable of supporting Vulkan API. I bet if AnTuTu tested my phone with Vulkan rather than skip that part, my phone would score higher in GPU power! Does it say that your Axon 7 doesn't support Vulkan API either?! What's your Axon 7's score on AnTuTu?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] klałn:
Our chipset support vulkan, just stock oreo doesn't.

Oreo B04 has daydream support. Maybe it also support vulkan.

Oh, thank you for your reply. I never thought the latest stock Oreo on Axon 7 couldn't support Vulkan. I'd be checking raystef66's drivers later.
