Anyone flash one Ui 5.1 yet? Its out for EUY, EUX, and XAR if you didnt know
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] hurray:
I would also kindly ask how to update to the latest to the latest rom without losing TWRP and without a full wipe.

The first steps are clear:

- download the new rom with Freya

- patch AP with Magisk on the Tab S8 ultra

- flash patched AP, BL and home-csc with Odin

.... And then the next steps are a little bit vague....

Any help and hint is very welcome. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] afaneh92:
Note: steps 2-6 are important, missing any will lose your data.

1. Load all files to their respective slots in odin, pick HOME_CSC instead of CSC.

2. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and hit start.

3. Reboot to download if possible from odin options (not working on all devices), or using buttons combo.

4. Keep auto reboot unchecked, Flash TWRP in AP slot and vbmeta_disabled.tar in USERDATA

5. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up and power to reboot into TWRP.

6. Disable encryption:

- Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.

You will see " - Finished." When it is done.

7. flash custom kernel and magisk then reboot to system (optional).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] hurray:
Thank you very much for the fast and detailed answer!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
What version of magisk do you plan to use. I used canary 2508 because 2510 on one ui 5.0 caused all kinds of problems. 2508 work fine on 5.0. Well not so on 5.1 whatever changes hes making its not stable lol. Magisk keeps uninstalling the apk and lsposed wont work and all types of crazy **** I have never seen im trying to figure it out right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] hurray:
Hu, I am not completely sure for now.

Magisk 25.2 runs fine without issues on the Galaxy Tab S8 ultra with the BVL2-ROM from February.

I know that for the S23 ultra there is a modification in Magisk needed and therefore one must use a canary version for patching AP. I do not thought that this is also needed for the Tab S8 ultra.

I will read a little bit in the Magisk threads for sure and get maybe some information.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
lol sorry wrong thread is there a way to delete the comment?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] hurray:
Thank you very much for the warning! I will first read and then afterwards trying to update the Tab S8. Everything runs 100% fine with the current rom so no need to update immediately.

Edit: now I have read what's going on with Magisk canary: a lot of changes which breaks a lot of things.

Nothing for me. :)

So if Magisk 25.2 is not able to create a usable patched AP I will wait with an upgrade of the rom till a more stable Magisk version is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
Im all over the place tonight
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
Good day, I have a rooted S8 + with OneUI 5.0 and latest firmware. Does this version still work to flash TWRP without issues. IF YES will I loose all datas? if yes, another point: is kernel posted here actualized or it is from last year still.

And at last is it really necessary to flash TWRP having rooted my tablet and be able to use magisk modules.

Thank you so much for the information.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] afaneh92:
Yes and yes, flash same kernel as your kernel version
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
What do you mean? I extract the kernel from my last firmware not the one annexed here in OP?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] afaneh92:
No, use my kernel but same version as stock
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
The link is in OP with new version?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
Is this the one latest: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/118-6bqlsd0UYrLLkZBroK1J8FdRrtab4 for S8P
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
is this the one or there is a new one? or what should I use? Please
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
with your kernelI got bootloop, any idea
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] afaneh92:
use androidfilehost link it has latest kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
S22 is the same? Now there is no more Tab S8+

Not downloading! Standby.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
please give a link that works for latest kernel TAB S8 plus
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] afaneh92:
S22 kernel is for all snapdragon S22/TabS8 and Fold4
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] enotar:
Ok boot now when I flashed the Kernel, thank you.

Should I rerun in terminal in TWRP multidisabler? Or it is not necesary.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Edpr:
Just installed the TWRP recovery and magisk on my Tab S8 Wifi model (SM-X700) and everything seems great so far.

At first I didn't know a TWRP for Tab S8 existed, so I rooted it through the Odin patch method (following the instructions from the Root-Guide-post on the How-to-Guide section), but with that method you have to find, download, patch and reinstall the firmware (which btw is still the stock rom although it is rooted) and still stay on the stock recovery which is quite a drawback.

The custom recovery is for me of crucial importance, it has saved me many times from a lot of trouble in the past by helping me to retrieve important data from my bricked devices as well as to unbrick them.

I'd like to add that I'm craving for a custom rom for the Galaxy Tab S8. So far I haven't found any. I would gladly trade those totally unnecessary Dex or S-Pen gimmicks for unrestricted android/data access, functionality of memory changer apps and compatibility with good older apps. Android 12 and 13 seem very primitive iOS-like systems and becoming worse. I am using Android 9 on other devices and it seems actually a far better option compared to those restricted bs ''modern'' devices they are trying to push nowadays. So I really hope someone would care to bring custom roms for these devices, no matter if One UI based, Lineage OS based or anything else. I wouldn't mind to pay for stable custom roms.

That aside I am very excited to have found this method which installs in a few steps the TWRP custom recovery, offers root access and does not require a new firmware installation or other struggles. Kudos to the dev!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Stogie87:
Hi there.

I flashed OneUi 5.1 today via odin according the instructions with Home CSC over my previous OneUi 5.0 version.

After that i was not able anymore to boot into the system.

Then i flashed TWRP and vbmeta_disabled_R.tar through odin -> went to twrp, used multidisabler, reboot twrp and flashed waipio-gki_kernel_5.10.136-afaneh92-g41eef323cd25_2023_02_21 kernel and magisk, but i still stuck in a bootloop.

TWRP also does not allow me to mount vendor partition. Is that normal?

Any idea or solutions about that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] LocBox:
is TWRP even updated for the latest A13/One UI 5.1 on the S8 Tab+? I had to root mine using EX Kernel Manager. If there's a way to get TWRP working could someone fill me in?

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] roso122:
How fast is your phone OPPO Find X3 Pro charged wirelessly?

Official Oppo support says this model does not support the QI standard. Which is probably not entirely true, but my phone charges with a maximum power of 290mA, which is a very poor result. The P30 pro and S22 charge around 900mA. Anyway, my Samsung S4 was loading much faster.
[General Questions and Answers] phil0083:
Ok, so I have a PDF file that I have changed to Read-only in the file properties window on Windows 10. Then I take that PDF and copy it to a flash drive and put it on an Android device. When I load the file up in Adobe Acrobat for android and all of the sudden the file is not read-only anymore. I take the file and move it back over to Windows and the Read-only box under file attributes is unchecked. What gives? why is android willy nilly changing file attributes when they are copied onto the device. Using Email instead of a flash drive still produces the same results. I just want a PDF file that just stays read-only when I mark it as such. I'm going to give this file to people that I know will probably load it up on their phones to use it from there, but I want the read-only attribute to persist, even when being moved from system to system, be it Windows, Android, or Apple.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You probably also need to change administrator/ownership/ permissions on the file.

The link below discusses the issue.

Windows 10 - Read-only File Flag Has No Effect

I want to disable files from being overwritten in Windows 10. I figured that was the use of the 'Read-only' file flag. But after enabling it, it appears programs (at least the program it opens in) ...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] genfersee:
Thanks Flinx1!! Great work!!

The only visible problem is the "Yen" instead replacing "\" issue ;o)

Reminder to fix it for those who do not know:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SkipTable

The you should set the following keys:

Key: Courier New, Value: 00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff

Key: Tahoma, Value: 00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff

After a soft reset you should have your "\" back. The entry for changing the "\" for "¥" is 00a5. So maybe you want to add only this value to the key.

Great work!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
I posted this over in the Raphael forum, but I will note it again for posterity.

For Raphael users, you may want to use these reg settings:

[HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
default = "E0010411"
[HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1]
default = "E0010411"
[HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IMEJP\3.1\MSIME]
Option3 = "D"
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010411]
Keyboard Layout = "00000409"

First two re-enable hardware keyboard and buttons. Third option sets Romaji as default conversion. Last option keeps SIP conversion enabled (kensaku/tegaki/etc) -- otherwise JP IME is broken.

Diamond users may wish to try the last setting if they are having problems getting both English and JP SIPs working at the same time (untested since I don't have a Diamond, but worth a try).

And continuing the previous discussion about hotkey romaji/kana toggle, Raphael users may want to use PQzII. Typing "0xE6" into the IME option (see screenshot) will map the hardware "SYM" key to change romaji/kana conversion mode on-the-fly.

View attachment 129768

You can use PQzII_Check to confirm the 0xE6 keycode, or to find the keycode for another key.

Diamond users can also use PQzII, but without the IME hotkey option. Just enable the icon, and tap the icon to switch IME modes (notice the あ in the icon tray). "Matching" black iconset is attached below.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] genfersee:
Hey Flinx1,

After appliying the patch to get back the "\", the names of the Japanese SIP are not anymore shown or replaced by a unique "\".. Well, does not matter but it is strange :o)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
You don't need to re-enable it, it works. What you suggest will also break T9/localized input as I mentioned in the top post. If you just want the JP IME as default, all you need to do is change preload, not preload\1.

I'll have a look at the other two you mentioned.

EDIT: Of the other two options you mentioned, one was already set (the 409 one) and the other does nothing that I can tell. Can you describe in more detail what exactly it's supposed to do?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
NM. Ignore this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The code was 005c, not 00a5. Delete the courier new entry and change the Tahoma one to the one you mentioned. I'll be changing it in the .cab to match.

EDIT: Done. If you still have problems, try adding 005c back in front. Deleting it should normally change "¥" to "\" as you mention, but something sounds like it's broken on your end, maybe due to compatibility issues with some other conversion app. Only other thing I can suggest is to try a hard reset and start from scratch. It's possible to change the names of the Japanese SIPs to something that doesn't contain Japanese characters, but unless other people have the same problem, I'd rather not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
I am coming from a Raphael so the registry settings will likely be different for Diamond users.

On the Raphael, you need to set both Preload and Preload\1 to 411, otherwise the hardware qwerty keyboard will not work. Yes unfortunately it will break T9, but with the full qwerty that's not a big problem (at least if you only need 日英入力).

Setting Layouts\e0010411 to 409 addresses an older problem where WM would load IMEJP properly, but would not let you switch to any IMEJP SIPs. Specifically, everytime you try to select Kensaku/Tegaki/etc WM would always revert to the standard "Keyboard" SIP.

Option3 is purely preferential. Setting it to D tells IMEJP to use direct input [_A] by default when the phone is turned on. If you type mainly in Japanese, you may prefer to leave the original reg setting, which will tell IMEJP to use hiragana/romaji input [あ] by default.

Again, these settings are specific to the Raphael. Both Preload and Preload\1 are necessary. Whether Layouts\e0010411 matters anymore in WM6.1 isn't really known (on some devices it works, on others it doesn't, or doesn't matter). But I've gone through most (if not all) of the Japanese-input threads at most forums/sites, and the above settings have given me the most reliable SIP- and 変換-switching for the Raphael.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Obsidian72:
Could you elaborate on the necessary settings. I can't get it to work the way it should. It just doesn't change the IME-mode by tapping on the icon (well, it changes from あ to A, but the input method remains the same). The automatic change of the SIP according to portrait or landscape mode is nice, though.

And many thanks to flinx1 for his work. This is excellent. I had to write a manual for myself how to recover my Japanese settings in case of a hard reset. I can throw that away now! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
PQzII is just a simple program to toggle IMEJP if it's present. I don't know what device you have or which specific SIP you're trying to use -- and I don't know if the registry settings flinx1's cab are causing any conflicts.

I put up a brief video showing what you should be expecting if you want to use PQzII:

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=c2RzpL-OCxM

From there we can start to figure out what's working and what isn't.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I have a Raphael too, so it's not an issue :).

Not with this .cab - you just need to change Preload itself. 411 is already set in Preload\2 to facilitate switching keyboard layouts.

I see what you mean by the D option now - I'll add it.

Already set in the original CAB :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
See, I installed LetsJapanNo6 (then softreset), then IME_31J_F (then softreset); and there is no Preload\2 in my registry. Have you added any extra 3rd party keyboard layouts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I'm not using IME_31J_F. I've modified things a bit for a more streamlined install, including adding the ability to switch keyboard layouts between 409 and 411 so T9/localized keyboards work.

PQzII works fine by the way, just like in the video linked. Ctrl+shift does the same thing though, so I doubt I'll bother with it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] genfersee:
hello flinx1! another issue i see now is that the bold characters in windows are not any more displayed in bold..

letsjapan6 has installed the msgothic.ac3 font. i don't know he this font is able to display bold characters? i was using meiryo.ttc as main font for my diamond .. do you know how to recover bold characters? do you have the same issue than me?

for example, the bottom screen software button from windows are not anymore in nsbold..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I'll look into it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Okay, I found the problem. It's not the font, but instead the SystemLCID setting:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
SystemLCID="1041"

That sets the system region to Japanese, which means that it will behave exactly as a Japanese winmo install - on my emulator the fonts in Japanese WinMo don't appear in bold for those parts of the OS.

So what I've done is that I've created a new cab which doesn't contain that key. It will remain unchanged, even if you changed the regional settings in the control panel. From my limited testing, things seem to work, but I can't guarantee anything. Please try it out. If there's any compatibility issues, you can try changing the key above, but make note of the original value so you can change it back again.

Let me know if everything works, and I'll replace the links in the top post.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aro:
Thanks flinx1,

I also experienced the "missing bold font" problem with your previous version, but after uninstalling and installing the latest update, I can confirm the big font is still there.

Also everything elese I tested so far works great.

Thank you.

One minor thing: I mainly use your language pack to be able to show japanese characters in google maps and read japanese internet sites.

Thus I would prefer, if the regional setting of my device would not be set to Japan after installation, as I have to switch back to english manually (as frequent rom updater, I would like to aviod this extra step).

Thanks and regards,

EDIT: I found that the SIP icon to open shows now always japanese symbol (see screenprint attached). when opening SIP, it switches to normal qwerty keyboard sysmbol, but while SIp is closed, always hiragana "a" is shown. Any chance to have normal qwerty symbole shown even when SIP is closed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Just change the regional setting in the control panel to match whatever region you prefer, and the language for Google Maps will change. The problem is that some applications require the regional setting be set to Japanese, in order for them to work. I'll change it and make a note about software compatibility in the top post and readme.

As for the SIP symbol, I'm not sure what's causing that. It doesn't happen in any of the WinMo emulators, so I'm thinking it must be specific to HTC. That makes it much harder to figure out too. Ultimately it's not worth the effort I think.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Zgembo:
Installed on Hermes (schaps latest ROM). Works great, fonts seems much easier to read.

Only problem was manual switching, no go on that ctrl-shift combinations, had to made Japanese IME default in registry.

flinx1, thanks big time for this one!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Did you try both using the hardware keyboard and the soft keyboard? The reason it doesn't work with the hardware keyboard I suspect is because you have to hit the FN key to get ctrl working on the Hermes, and that will change the behavior of the shift key to capslock instead.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Yeah that'll do it. A Japanese version of Windows Live or Pocket Outlook might work better.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kennyk09:
Where can I get them!??

Hi Flinx,

I looked for J version of Windows live and pocket outlook, but can't find it..

Could you please let me know if you do know?

I actually looked for any free mail software, but couldn't find any..!

I thought I was pretty good at looking for stuff on the net:(

I have been searching all over the place, but I can't find an answer to this simple question:

Is it possible to set the default entry mode for the Japanese IME (Romaji/kana) to English (ASCII?) rather than Japanese? This is not the SIP, since its already set to the proper one (romaji/kana). I want to set the default input method within the SIP. I just don't like switching to English every time I open IE etc since most of my inputting is done in English.

BTW, I am currently using a Emobile (Sharp) EM One Alpha (WM6) Japanese OS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] larsuck:
It really isn't that simple of a question, but I might have the answer. Do a registry search for "Option3". If you find that entry, change the entry to D (hexadecimal). That should work.
