[Google Pixel 8] Dan1942:
New phone shiny is always a factor, and need vs. want is a spectrum. Having said that, my 4a5g will get its last OS and security updates next month or so, and it doesn't have any waterproofing, which i really want because I am looking at doing some ultra trail running, where a waterproof phone is a good idea for safety and security. If it weren't for a really good offer, I would probably wait, but I think I'll go for it and hope the phone is as good as the hype and that I won't have to think about a new phone for at least 5 years.
[Google Pixel 8] kingpeppermint:
I don't know usd prices very well as i am in the uk, however $200 for a 4a sounds really good. judging by google's past actions with the 6 and the 7 launch the $200 is the best trade in you could get.

So the gamble to wait and see if you get an better offer without trade-in or a better offer regardless of trade in or wait for a other year, but if you do those trails you mention i wouldn't go for that last option, because if you need to replace your phone suddenly it's always more expensive. Apart from that the saferty aspect, if your phone is waterproof in case of an emercency it's more likely to still be off help then if a spat of water will kill it. (don't remember exactly but the 4a has almost zero water proofing right?)
[Google Pixel 8] rochrunner:
Make sure you check the size & weight of the P8 vs P4 if you plan on switching. I was surprised how much bulkier my 7a feels even compared to my 6a. It's less convenient to carry for various activities (biking, at the gym, etc.). I'd really like to have a phone with current features but the form factor of my old 3a!
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Keep in mind the op now has a P4a5g, that is 6.2 inches so he's not going to feel a difference. Actually might feel a tad smaller than his 4a
[Google Pixel 8] perfectfire:
I checked how much I could sell my used Pixel 4a 5g for on ebay and it looks like I could reasonably get between $90 - $120 for it. So a $200 trade-in value (a 66% increase over ebay) is a no-brainer. I also checked what I could sell the Pixel Buds Pro for (since I don't really want or need them) and it could probably get about $110. So in essence I could upgrade my 3 year old budget phone to a completely new flagship phone for about $390 plus tax which I consider a pretty good deal. I haven't owned a new flagship phone since I got the HTC Thunderbolt many moons ago. I'm pretty stoked.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Sounds like a good deal to me. Boy oh boy what a flashback. Heavy phone but I actually kept the thunderbolt for a while
[Google Pixel 8] Vio281:
you are not going to get a better deal than that...I was able to get rid of my sister Pixel 6a at best buy for pre-order for 300 and very ecstatic, I wouldnt be able to get that for anything else.

Hi,

ive just received my touch hd and am very pleased so far....

i am not that keen on the task manager tho and have always been a fan of i launcher

has anybody manadged to get iLauncher running and touchflo3d

i seem to get just touchflo running even tho i launcher has been launched

i would like the hold your finger down in top right corner option which brings up the i

launcher menu and task menu

thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DigiMagic:
I am using iLauncher and it works perfectly. Top right corner menu also works (activated by long press and not conflicting with default built-in short-press menu).

But, I've disabled touchflo3d.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Mishael:
I suppose it should work when used together with Second Today. Try using it.

AOSP based rom with customization focused on stability and most of all smoothness.​

What's broken?

• OMX - HW Decoders (Encoders work fine you can even record 4K video)

• Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported

• IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port

• There may be problems with pairing new bluetooth devices

Reboot to recovery

Wipe data, cache, and dalvik if coming from another ROM

Format data if encrypted

Flash ROM zip

(optional) Flash GApps

Reboot and voila!

Hello, mobile data isn't working
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TRU3L3GEND:
Verizon is the only carrier offering the mmWave flavor? From the teardown video looks like there is a placeholder. Not familiar with newer pixels, but could you possibly get an unlocked phone then add a radio from a donor device and flash the VZW radio? I know I probably shouldn't care about it, but I just want an unlocked BL with mmWave. Finally going to upgrade from my 6T and if spending 1K on a phone, would like to use everything I pay for both service and device wise.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
US unlocked has mmwave for the Pro. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile all have mmwave for the Pro.

Only the Verizon variant for the regular 8 has mmwave.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
Has anyone checked the Verizon 5G map with the chrome extension to see how the rollout is going for Verizon mmWave? It's still abysmal locally for me... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
Only specific US models from certain carriers have the mmwave antenna installed, the other models do not have the required hardware and cannot be software unlocked.

I installed LineageOS 20 on my phone today. At the beginning, the fingerprint sensor worked without any problems. However, after installing all the apps and making some setting changes, I noticed that the fingerprint sensor stopped working. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out which setting it was due to. In addition, I can't set up new fingers either because the sensor doesn't respond. What setting could this be due to?

This might be a dumb question and maybe its already been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find the answer in any of the forums, so here goes.... Does anyone know what's the purpose of the "DID" code and barcode on the samsung dowload/odin screen? I assume it is someway for Samsung to identify the original phone manufactured specs but then again the IMEI will give the same information. I'm just curious if anyone knows.

1. Do I need install any kernel with LOS20? I saw some, also there is only los 18.1 and it has wifi kernel there.

2. Which recovery is better? I think I can install "OrangeFox-olive-stable@R11.0_2" through TWRP?

3. We have Redmi 8 3/32 GB Dual version. Does "olive" stand for this phone also?

4. Which Google Apps would work better with LOS20?

[General Questions and Answers] horsti2010:
Hi guys,

my previous thread which i posted yesterday is no longer available due to the forum update (?).

So I repost it quickly:

My situation: I have my friends German Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 with Oreo 8.0.0. She does not remember her unlock pattern but desperately needs some of the pictures and videos on the phone.

Google device search (or how that is called) and Samsungs find my device are not activated, thus no option.

A factory reset would wipe the data, thus not an option.

Of course, ADB debugging is not activated, thus.... again not an option

I found this thread here in which the respondent states:

I could figure out the firmware version in the stock recovery menu: A520FXXUBCSG1 which I downloaded from Samfirm in multiple files. I flashed it with ODIN using the HOME CSC version that was provided. After a restart (and wiping the cache), the phone boots with the exact same lock screen - so nothing changed. Did I do something wrong? I used the default ODIN setting.

Or do I have to flash the CSC and NOT the HOME CSC version that is provided by Samfirm with its firmware files? Or is that all not true for the A5? Do you have any other help, any tools (as was suggested yersterday in the deleted thread) that work for the A5 without wiping the data? Access to the videos and images would be enough.

Any help is highly appreciated as I am running out of ideas. Thanks so much!
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
Flashing firmware, even if you select it to flash over all partitions, does not delete any data (such as lockscreen passwords).

You can try to flash TWRP using Odin, this device MIGHT be old enough as to not require the OEM unlock option to be toggled.

Flash any CSC other than HOME CSC will wipe data...

I thought I used a computer to access a specific file and renamed or removed the file which let me remove the PIN requirement and access the device using random PIN cause the lock screen stayed but was rendered useless... and the file was sent back to the phone from the computer when I needed to restore the users PIN... think it was the galaxy A2 (an older device so I don't know if that still exists in the software now as was then)

[General Questions and Answers] horsti2010:
Thanks for your help attempts! I tried flashing TWRP, but ODIN 3.14 returns:

<ID:0/010> RQT_CLOSE !!

<ID:0/010>

<ID:0/010> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I assume this means flashing it without oem unlocked (which I cannot access) is not possible?

@wugga3: Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, neither Google nor Samsungs unlock options are activated and can be used in my case. So the only option would be a hard reset meaning the date will be wiped.

I hoped for the fact as mentioned in the thread I linked, the exact same firmware including the same CSC (not home CSC) would NOT wipe the data, but just erase the settings (including the pattern lock).
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Flashing a stock ROM will usually wipe the user data. This is because a stock ROM is a complete image of the Android operating system, including the system partition and the data partition. When you flash a stock ROM, the old system partition and data partition are overwritten with the new ones.
[General Questions and Answers] horsti2010:
Ok, I see. So indeed the only options I have will be:

Factory reset in the stock recovery

Reflash the exact same firmware with ODIN with the CSC (Not home CSC)

Both options will very likely wipe everything, the settings including the pattern (which is good), but also the data including the images and videos (which is bad).

So my final questions would be:

Which way is the better of the two bad options?

If I use a data recovery tool like Dr. Fone or others directly after the reflash (no matter which way), there should be a chance of getting back some to most of the files?
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
I've reflashed the stock rom a few times to get system apps back that I wiped. This did not wipe data for me. Maybe it's a thing on more recent phones.
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
Factory reset will wipe everything, always.

Flashing the stock rom may not wipe user data, but it does not get rid of the lock screen. It merely restores system apps to their unupdated state.
[General Questions and Answers] horsti2010:
OK, thanks. So I will try ODIN and flash the exact same software including the non-home CSC. I expect either the lock screen to be present afterwards or a fully wiped device. Then I will try immediately afterwards a recover tool. Because wiping as far as I know "jsut" frees the space.

I will post the progress for other users with similar issues afterwards.

Hey everyone, I have a Galaxy A12 (SM-A125U VZW) that was converted to SM-A125W (Canadian XAC) and has an unlocked bootloader. Are there any guides on how to install GSI's on this device? I tried using the Project Elixir GSI image and installed it to the super partition but the phone does not boot. They say flash it to "system" but TWRP says that the image is too big for the partition. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
Use TWRP. Wipe /system and /data. Install GSI to /system. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] jiwanshu2003:
