Hey Guys

1. Splash Screen

-> I tried several png images (480x640 & 640x640), but nothing is displayed when my phone boots up. The screen is just all white.

2. Start-up sound

-> I tried a few different wavs (16kbit / 22KHz / Mono), but there is no sound when the htc animation plays during boot.

How can I get these things 2 work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 4D3:
You should post that question here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=418151

it is the thread for the application in question.

other than that i cannot help you as i disable the startup animation as it slows down the device booting!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MaD-CoW:
If I post in that thread i will end up @ page 38 (last page) and nobody will respond.

I've seen a guy ask the same question 4 times without any luck.

And that is why I started a new thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 4D3:
I understand this, but this is the nature of a forum.

all of the people that have responded to that thread will get an email about your post, so you will have a better chance of getting a correct answer there.

the other option is to use this: DiamondTweak 0.5.3

ADV Config & DiamondTweak have some the same features and some different.

also some of the features may not be applied properly with ADV Conf, but are applied correctly with diamond tweak and visa versa.

i have both, they do not constantly run therefore it is not like having 2 anti virus programs running

or if you dont want both install them both and remove the one you dont like, but personally i use both, i find that diamond tweak works best with graphical/user settings and such like where as i prefer using advconfig for more system related tweaks like changing the times of cutting my calls off for example.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] wpscully:
My Flip 3 is about nine months old. Enclosed are two pictures, one from midnight on July 4, the second from 11:30 the next morning (noon-ish, July 4). The device was left open overnight because I was backing up my files to a USB stick in preparation for Samsung's fix of the screen. You can see the de-lamination of the factory-installed screen protector spread overnight from one-half the screen, across then entire fold-area, to encompass the entire screen, in less than 12 hours. There was no damage to the screen before the de-lamination started two days ago (July 2). The first indication was a tiny spontaneous de-lamination at the far right edge where the screen folds.

The phone is lovingly cared for, never dropped, no tears, no scratches on the protective film, no water exposure, battery-saver (85%) on, slow-chaage always on, etc... The phone is otherwise in "like new" condition. Samsung support recommends a local "UBreakIFix" store for the repair. I'll let you guys know how the repair goes.

So the "cost" for using this phone, so far, is $100 a month. $900 divided by 9 months, before it's now so fragile it can't be safely used. Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
That sucks.

Another dropped ball from Samsung.

This was predictable. Samsung exceeded the limits of the plastics and adhesive system. It is a high risk technical venture and they likely will never have the durability most would like.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
As long as the screen underneath isn't cracked/loose, it should be fixable by removing the plastic screen protector and applying your own
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] wpscully:
Yeah, the phone is in perfect condition, except for the protected coming off. If it were out of warranty I'd probablly try to fix it myself.

Interestingly, the local Samsung-authorized repair sites near me are taking one look at the phone and saying (even before they look at it), "No, we don't fix those. Check one of the other repair sites.... ." They say they'd need to replace the entire screen, rather than peel/apply a new protector. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with such an involved process being done by "just anybody." This phone is just so intricate it's hard to imagine a local repair store having the experience needed to "cut open the glued bits, avoid cutting the cables, replacing the screen, and gluing everything back together so it's secure and waterproof."

If Samsung has to fix it themselves then if the phone fails again they have no one but themselves to blame.

Does anyone here have experience with Samsung replacing their phone screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] BWA80:
I took off the original screen protector about 4 weeks ago. It had no damage, but curiosity beat me and I wanted to try the real, naked screen 😁

It felt sooooooo goooood! Smooth, no fingerprints, brighter, touch nav was better, no rainbow effect ect.

Went naked for over 3 weeks and no scratches or anything. But, a couple of days ago I applied myself the whitestone film. Easy to apply and It's better then samsungs.

So, had a nice adventure 😁
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
I've read in many places that Samsung will honor the warranty even after removing the plastic screen. Double check on that, but I highly recommend replacing it

Had mine for barely a month before I couldn't deal with all the fingerprints and ugly feeling of the screen

YouTube videos are your friend for gauging the difficulty and seeing the process. Helped give me the courage to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
That should tell you something.

Getting it right on the first or even second shot may prove challenging. Wet apply hydrocell's are relatively easy, one sided adhesive ones like the stock ones are a true pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Anyone who has removed the stock protector can tell you the flaw that causes it. They are using a rigid protector with a weak adhesive.

The folding aspect has allowed Samsung to make the process sound much more complex, but it's installing a protector like any other phone. The only difference is taking more care to smooth it into the crease. Let it sit open for a day and try to take it light for the next few. Almost any third-party protector that is decent as a screen protector will work.

The stock protector is poorly designed, but it's not some magical specialty item. It is a slightly nicer version of the film Samsung wraps all their phones with so they look new out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cpufrost:
Screen is fine, right?

Just like peeling off a bandaid IMO. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] wpscully:
I have decided to send the phone back to Samsung for the replacement of the screen protector. They did not require a phone factory reset for this work. I'll report the quality of the repair work when the phone is returned. I'm hoping it will look "factory fresh". But I've also ordered an aftermarket protector in case I need to fix the fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
They may not have required you to do one, but I hope you did a backup. It doesn't always mean they won't end up doing one, planned or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] drosenau:
Does anyone have a source to buy a new screen protector that isn't too rigid or thick? There are tons of options online but I'm not finding an OEM option to buy. But it sounds like some of you may have found a better option anyway. Any links would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
I've used Skinomi since my Pixel 2 XL days. The wet application process makes sense and the self repair screen makes it always look new. It's what I'm currently using on the Zflip
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
When I had mine before I got rid of it, I replaced the screen protector with a liquid one. Worked very well up until the actual screen started cracking on the crease. Keep in mind no drops and everyday use. For the 3rd generation it's definitely sad to see
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
The radius of curve is too extreme.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] phil1737:
Thank you so much for this helpful hint. I previously purchased a Whitestone Dome screen protector with install jig. It went on perfectly, but when I folded the phone 30 minutes later it delaminated in the crease. I threw that $20 piece in the trash. Nowhere in the instructions or installation video did it say to wait a full day. Based on your input I installed the same kit again, waited a day before carefully folding the phone and, bam, works like a champ!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
UV cured adhesive once fully cured is at its full strength. No additional time is needed.

Failure: incomplete cleaning; contaminated bonding surfaces, incorrect application (a thinner layer is better), or incomplete curing.

I used this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09LV43G8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not the Seesaw UV curing machine whatever thingy. But my second attempt worked fine. Thanks for your feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Yeah I have never had an easy time with either of those types of adhesive systems*. Hydrocell wet apply works best on non-folding screens for me but may not be ideal for a foldable.

*Whitestone sent the wrong screen in the right box so I never did install it. They were a complete offshore nightmare to deal with. The "new" one I received had been incorrectly reboxed. They caused me quit a bit of trouble... and never even apologized for the inconvenience. So free advertising for them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Glad to hear it worked out in the end. There is somewhat of a curing period with any adhesive, but rigid protectors will still separate over time. Given how flimsy those are, it will be a lot longer than the stock one anyway.

If you use a UV one, longer is not always better. The catch to UV activated adhesive is the same as UV resin. It is on a parabola where it will hit peak adhesion and then actually begin to break down. It's best to follow the exact times provided and then let it get some sunlight to finish off curing.

P.S. Whatever you do, do NOT use a liquid adhesive protector on this phone. It's not an S series or Note where the panel is flush with the case. It's an aluminum body wrapped OVER the screen. While they do claim it's water resistant, getting adhesive under that edge can eventually lead to pressure on the edges that will damage the screen and cause it to fracture.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] wpscully:
Some closing words on my experience, which started with this thread.

Samsung agreed to fix the phone and sent an overnight shipment label. I sent the phone, carefully packed, on 6 July. Samsung acknowledged receiving the package on the 7th. On the 14th they sent another message saying again they got the package and the phone would be returned within five days. On 15 July Samsung shipped the phone back to me, overnight. I received the repaired phone before noon on 18 July. The paperwork described the phone as follows:

The replacement screen protector has been flawlessly installed and, as promised, the screen appears like-new. However, although the telephone customer support representative claimed the phone need not be factory-reset, and Samsung wouldn't need to do a factory reset, the phone was, in fact, wiped. I'm glad I did a full backup before sending it!

I also purchased:

Whitestone Dome [Premium folding Film] for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Dome Hard Coated Film Screen Protector Anti-Bubble HD Clear PET Film Screen Guard for Galaxy Z Flip 3 (2021)​

I'm hoping I won't need to use this, but I'll have it, just in case. I thought I'd buy the film now, since it seems the Flip3 is due to be replaced by the Flip4. It might be harder to find a protector once the device is out of production.

So I'm sorry I had to re-personalize the phone after the screen was fixed. But Samsung did the right thing to fix it for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Glad you did a backup. Standard procedure is a wipe and I can't tell you how many times I've seen them say they wouldn't and do it anyway. 12 days seems about average, which is why I did my own. Hopefully they certify that UBreakIFix to do protectors. They can do a whole panel in 3 hours. Good luck with the replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
To OP: Mine did EXACTLY the same thing yesterday and freaked me out a little as it makes a crackling sound when opening. I felt better after seeing your photos, as this means something less serious than it could have been. Also, less than a year old of course and very well cared for. Not a good thing, Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
oops, duplicate post
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] HDCowboy:
Mine started to come up about a month ago and I contacted AT&T but they told me I had to take it to the Samsung Store, luckily there is one about 25 miles from me so called them and made an appt to bring it in. When I arrived I spoke to the folks there and asked them "What's so special about the screen protectors they install opposed to me installing one I bought myself?" From what I understood is they use some kind of rolling machine to get a good installation on the crease and heat it up afterwards to make sure it stays on. Sounded like they must do some kind of wet install and simply heat it up afterwards to dry from what I gathered. Also after looking them up on the net it looked like they only have like 5 locations in the US so if your not near one and have to mail yours in you'll be without your phone for a bit!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] rogerandgina06:
I just had 2 of these flips do that. One of them I had to send because I waited so long after it happened it lost touch sensitivity then other I had to take to a youbreak I fix location to get them to install the new screen protector from Samsung. They both were covered by the 1 year manufacturer warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] wpscully:
The warranty repair done by Samsung was flawless but as has been mentioned, a real bother for what is a "prestige" phone. I'm hoping the Flip4 has solved this problem because if not I can't see how the phone gets more widely accepted.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
I rather doubt it's been solved. Samsung is up against the physical limits of the materials used.

Breakage will remain high. This isn't a piece of teflon. Having multiple layers bonded together further complicates the problems... and the top ones must remain crystal clear, unblemished.

There's also the AMOLED layer(s) which is densely packed with semiconductors and traces.

These are suppose to withstand all the flexing, bending and thermal stresses without failing. This goes far beyond a fixed curve display. Samsung has been having trouble with their regular variable refresh rate displays failing.

Makes you wonder what overall the failure rate will be by 1 year, 2 years, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] BWA80:
Could and would samsung replace the z flip 3 screen protector with the improved z flip 4 protector?

Could be a good option if possible....

Hey everyone,

Story:

back in 2012 I bought an Samsung S3 and did everything a tinkerer would, I rooted the phone, tried several roms, edited those roms, installed AMAzing apps such as droidwall and adblock, I loved and cared Alot for that phone. Unfortunately it brke at some point (I think I dropped it after 7 Years). then I had no time so I bought a Huawei p20 Lite, I hated the OS, I hated that it has a quickcharge function which I cannot diable, which reduces battery life by alot, I think there is a lot wrong with the Phone's software and subsequently its hardware. Now, after 4 years, the battery is drained within one day of barely using the phone and it has some cracks on the display.

Question:

I want to get back to fiddling around, I want to buy a new Android Phone and install a custom ROM, I wanna edit my stuff and preferably change the battery more easily (lets be hones, its aleays easy). BUT Since i haven't been up to date with the Phone market and the ROM community for a very long time I don't know where to start. Can you guys tell which phone and ROM combo you're using and what for? is AOSP still a thing? I am not a big mobile gamer or user in general, I use it for messaging and taking notes so no fancy stuff is required.

Any tips and info's are appreciated.

For context: I had a rooted Galaxy S3 with the WanamLite ROM, I had Droidwall, adblock and some other roms for backing up and everything. SOmething similar to that would be splendid. Bonus for customizable ROM (in regards of the Theme)

Thanks for taking the Time

Sincerely

Gram

Avoid phones from Oppo, Vivo, Honor, Huawei, Tecno, Infinix, Nokia, etc. (That don't let you unlock your phone's bootloader) like the plague.

Xiaomi, Poco (well Poco is a part of Xiaomi) and OnePlus phones are highly recommended as, apart from easily allowing you to unlock bootloader (once you do that, sky is the limit), they make the kernels of their phones open source, making custom rom development much easier.

And if you're looking for a specific phone, I'd recommend the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the recently launched Poco F4 or if it's available, then go for with either Redmi K20 Pro or the OnePlus 7 series phones (I'd prefer the 7 Pro or the 7T Pro).
