Splash screen = Boot logo.

1.Flashing via twrp

In my experience brother, while flashing the next gen OS for my j200g, the developer provided a S21bootlogo.zip file that I flashed to get the S21 bootlogo.

2. Flashing via twrp in a rooted device:

Developers like OsYesus created a video on 'Creating a boot logo in j7 2016'. You can use it as a reference. Well.

3. You can also check this xda thread tutorial for the same, j7 2016 as a reference

Do you guys know if our SGZF5 has an already apply screen protection film on both screen out of the box ?

If not please share your recommandation

Mine came with a protective film on inside as they do as standard.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Andrew_OrlandoFL9671:
Yep, the SGZF5 comes with a pre-applied screen protector on both screens right out of the box. If you're looking for recommendations, many users find that keeping the factory protector or opting for brands like Whitestone or amFilm works great for added protection.

is it possible for a virus in my phone to leak data through the emergency call network?
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
No.

Why do you think you have a virus on your phone? If your bootloader is locked and you are on the factory firmware, any potential virus would simply be a malicious app, and you could easily get rid of it by performing a factory reset.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nookPeter:
Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F. With stock Android 8 WiFi calling with EE (UK) worked fine.

Spent quite a few hours installing LineageOS versions with recommended Gapps.

None show ANY option or icons to enable WiFi Calling.

Where I live there's no mobile coverage and I need to keep in contact with an elderly lady for whom I am a Carer.

No land line either since it almost constantly was unusable for more than a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
WiFi calling requires IMS. Most lineage OS for samsung phones do not support IMS as it is proprietary code. I would recommend samsung based ROM if u need WiFi calling. However check with the developer of the version of lineage u r using.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nookPeter:
Thanks, Eggleston11. Doesn't sound very hopeful.

Haven't found a stock ROM above 8 for S7.

Maybe someone knows where we can download a later version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
You can try a port of other Samsung devices. They may have ims. E.g. floydQ. No promises. I'm not too familiar with the ports. S7edge doesn't officially support android 9+ so you won't find a stock based ROM for 9+.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nookPeter:
Seems you are correct, Eggleston11. I tried several flavours of 9(+) stock ROMs but TWRP spat the dummy, "not compatible with this phone".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
What sort or stock roms that are 9+ are you flashing? Ones made for other devices? That defs won't work. U can try ports that are intended for s7 edge if u really want 9+ and hope/ check it supports ims. I personally wouldn't bother. Will be much more stable and likely better performing to have a Samsung based Oreo / android 8 ROM. BTU is a common CSC that is included with ROMs so you will be laughing from a CSC point of view.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nookPeter:
Good suggestion but reverting to Android 8 puts me back where I needed to upgrade Android to be compatible with banking apps. They (both banks) apps will not install with Android 8. Need at least Android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
I myself would go black diamond by killswtich. Probably the most stable ROM that would meet ur criteria.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nookPeter:

Thanks muchly.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] premsoni4u:
Hello,

I'm currently using the official ROM which was shipped originally with my Samsung Galaxy M12 phone. However, it has become somewhat laggy and is experiencing poor performance over time.

I'm considering installing a custom ROM like LineageOS to ensure smooth functioning of banking / Financial, Netflix, Amazon Prime Apps without any issues.

Could you kindly recommend the best ROM and provide instructions for a fresh installation?

Thank you in advance.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Binarybard:
Custom ROMs will increase the speed of your device.

You can try LineageOS. It's one of the best and stable ROM. Official LineageOS doesn't have Gapps installed. But you can install them by flashing Gapps (Mindthegapps, nikgapps etc.)

You can also try Crdroid. It's based on LineageOS. But it's more customizable than LineageOS.

There is no best ROM. It depends on the user. You have to try a few ROMs and then you'll understand which ROM is for you.

For installation-

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash a recovery (TWRP or Orange Fox)

3. Boot into the recovery.

4.. Clear everything except internal storage. Then flash the ROM. Then format data and reboot. (in case you've ROM file in internal storage. And if you're using an external storage then format data before flashing). And reboot to system. And if everything is okay, you're good to go.

That's not normal, the app was updated for me on Dec 6th, I'm also in Canada.

Anyone else seeing BT distance and Battery life cut in almost half since the December update on GW5? I installed it yesterday and both have been cut in half :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Just got my update here in Ecuador watch is an SM R920, OneUI 5, System ver 13, Wear OS ver 4.0

Since literally the update just finished havent had time to check battery life or BT range. I am a cyclist what I care about are recording MTB runs I make every day, recording SP O2 and cardiac. I am 72, pay attention to these kind of things given my age and exercising between 2400 and 4000 M ASL every day. The watch is a disappointment and always has been. I have a calibrated SP O2 monitor I have checked periodically with the clinic here and the watch is 3-5 points low when it will read SP O2 at all. I can take the watch off my wrist (it will never read it there) and use the same finger I use with the dedicated SP O2 instrument and its 3 points low consistently. ECG is another huge joke. Take 4 readings to get one valid one. Big disappointment. Concept is great. Execution is crap. The idea of using the screen for Google Maps or looking at photos in Gallery is so much s/&t. Strip those programs off (oh but they cant be removed) along with the incessant music program. Its a WATCH. The screen is too small to effectively see in high mountain sunlight. Yeah i hear people can make phonecalls from them I think thats garbage....mine is paired with a Galaxy Note 10 +, great phone and partly why I bought the watch..... Maybe Samsung decided to issue an update today since Apple has been enjoined from selling their watches in some places due to a patent violation. LOL. Fear n loathing. Happy Solstice. i will update on battery life and bluetooth. Ciao.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Had an opportunity to do a little more testing. Both bluetooth range and battery usage on my Watch 5 Pro seem about the same as before the update. Aside from that one area where the Watch 5 is a battery pig is when you have GPS on and signal is lost. Whatever search algorithm the watch uses to reacquire really hits the battery hard. Where I live here in Ecuador all construction is concrete, so if during a ride I go into a building for anything, the watch looses GPS after a few seconds. When that happens, the auto paused workout timer starts running, a result of no valid position. My experience so far with this new update. Still lousy SpO2 performance as well as ECG. Neither of these has changed. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] AkoreJepade:
Yeah I ended up rebooting my GW5 a few times and checking setting under developer options to make sure nothing in Debug was left turned on and it seems to be doing better now. Thank you for checking with GW5 Pro.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Here's something interesting-- After the update and a couple of days of use. On the watch opened Google Play Store, I periodically do this to check for software updates to the different apps, yes? Opened Play Store and it says "no apps found". Interesting since all the Samsung Health suite is there along with Google Maps yadayada. Opening Galaxy Wearable/Watch Settings/Apps shows the entire list of apps that were there before the update.. so one wonders how to remedy this.....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] AkoreJepade:
Working fine on my GW5. Have you tried a few reboots of the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Yes I have rebooted a couple of times, seems to make no difference. Interesting problem. With PlayStore not working on the watch this means no app updates.....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
After a number of reboots finally reset and did a restore. Restore went fine. Only..... Same result. Play Store cant find any installed apps. Under Wearable on the phone, everything is there. So.... what next ? Great update Samsung. Checked permissions on Play store and it has what permissions it needs. Any suggestions anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] MilgeS:
Hello, I have had this problem on my (UK) GW5LTE and GW6LTE, nothing to do with the update you done, just coincidence.

It's been like it for a few days now. I posted about it on Reddit and quite a lot of people have this problem and no amount of rebooting or restarting, clearing cache etc fixes it, hopefully Samsung will sort it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Hi MilgeS

Thanks for this....interesting, no? One alternative that I am probably going to attempt is to rebuild the watch from scratch after a reset instead of using the restore function. I am going to guess that in my case whatever happened to corrupt the Play Store functionality was present in the backup and I imported the problem when I did the last reset. This is more involved than importing presets via restore but it may or may not resolve the problem. If I decide to attempt this instead of waiting for something from Samsung I will post back here.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Well lets see. Another day with a watch that given what one paid for it, one might expect more functionality. I am serious about cycling, yes? Before this watch I used Sportractive for several years, another program before that. I bought the watch almost a year ago thinking (given how well for the most part my Samsung phones had worked) that it would be a good edition...pulse rate, SpO2, ECG yadayada. Fine. First really really lame feature surfaced when.... one is working out, in my case riding. If one stops, the watch senses this and stops compiling time and distance. When one starts again, the watch starts. i right off the bat discovered that if one stops and say goes into a building to buy oh a bottle of water....when the watch looses GPS lock it starts counting speed and distance again. Today an example, had ridden 26 Km went into a building for 10 minutes and the watch started again while I was inside, added 4KM to the ride and said my max speed was 86 KPh. Why is there not a software switch in settings that will 1)alert when GPS is lost and another software switch with either the option to continue compiling when GPS coverage is lost or.....STOP. Interesting question, no? Now we cant update any of the apps. So when or even...IS Samsung going to address this? Aside from that.....first several times I tried ECG I got an occasional Atrial Fib message. Went to the Red Cross and had a full ECG and my heart was as it has been all of my life, excellent. No Afib. Then of course there is SpO2. 90% of the time when it is on my wrist it refuses to take SpO2, I have to remove it and use the finger I use with my dedicated SpO2 monitor. What a bunch of crap and what a waste of money this is. Pure garbage. So Samsung..... when are you going to fix this crap? I have had the watch less than a year. Were it possible to return it I would certainly do so. As another incidental aside..... the watch is a complete battery pig when working out. Jesus.

Samsung: "Oh well, all of these problems are fixed in the new Galaxy Watch 6 Pro"..........suck it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
Annnnnd an update. Reset the watch. Did not restore it but started anew. Same result. No apps found in Play Store. So the problem is that they screwed up the code in this OTA update. Samsung! Where are you!

Anyone got the update for LTE version? I'm on U. Nothing yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] expat42451:
For what its worth. A few minutes ago, this evening 1-3-24..... I checked Play Store on the watch and it is back to normal. As it was before the last OTA. FWIW I assume Samsung did some things in the background to rectify this problem. I....and hopefully the rest of us that could not update apps now are able to.

[Touch GSM General] phart:
Hello everybody,

I have a problem with my Touch. A couple of days a go my phone was empty, when I tried to power it up again and start it, but then it hanged in the first screen (the T-mobile screen for my phone). I read a lot on this forum, but I'm a newbie so it's hard for me to find the good solution. I could get the phone in the bootloader ( triple color screen), but it doesn't give the RUU letters in the right corner. If I connect the phone threw usb to my computer, it doesn't give me anything. Active sync doesn't go green. I tried the following things,

1. Go in the bootloader (this works!)

2. Disable the USB connection in active sync

3. Start an USB-sniffer (didn't find my phone)

4. Tried to use MTTY (gives me the error, can't open USB connection, something like this)

5. Tried to flash a rom while in bootloader screen, but the flashing utility can't connect to my phone.

So the main problem is that the phone can't connect to the computer, what do I have to do, to put a new rom on my phone, so I can start the damn thing again??? Please help

Thanks
