Database Develop

Is any one worried about development?

Hey, everyone,
This is my first device in a while that isn't a Nexus (the rumors point to the next Nexus being 5.9" - Nope. Nope, so hard).
Well, anyway, I love this device, but I'm worried about development. Granted, I'm used to seeing development efforts pop-up for the device on the day of launch (yay, Nexus)... But it has been a little bit.
What say, you? Do you all think we'll have a good development community? Still within that return period... Talk me off the ledge, guys.

I'm waiting for the new Moto X to come to my door step. I have the first edition Moto X what's an unlocked bootloader. At first I was all kinds of excited to flash different roms. Time after time I continue to go back to stock running xposed modules. Stock-based features of the Moto X are just too darn useful. I plan on only running a few exposed modules on my pure edition

No, because I'm not rooting the phone. I bought this phone primarily because it offer almost all I need without rooting.

Just like most people that used the moto x, I mostly relied on xposed settings just to tweak around a few settings. Motorola's software is basically stock android with a few very useful features added. I used to flash roms ALL the time when I had my GS4, but I no longer have to do that with the moto x.

Interesting. Yeah, I think its features are really useful, as well. I just figured that since almost all of the features have been moved to an app, it wouldn't be too difficult to actually get them on a custom rom. But, yeah, all the features I want are really minor and probably could be added using xposed. Good point, I'll look into some of them.

The Nexus was almost perfect for me. I just found a ROM that was a little more suitable, set it up, and was able to stick to it for my duration with the phone. I would occasionally update to a later version... but I never really needed to. I just picked a good ROM, and stuck with it. I was hoping to do the same here.

Like I mentioned earlier - excellent point. On my GS3 and M7, I always flashed ROMs. I calmed down a bit with the Nexus, though. Hahaha
Looks like I'll be looking into Xposed. That doesn't mean I won't make some of my own modifications, though....
Thanks for the responses, guys!

The only thing I miss, is custom toggles. I didn't know stock android don't actually have toggles at all, they are more like shortcuts to the settings menu. It's more than annoying. And needing an app for flashlight sucks. If I could get that, would be all the mods I need.

Xposed settings allow for this. Download the GravityBox module within the settings. This allows you to customize almost every aspect of the phone, including all toggles. I set up my phone to have the torch flashlight as a toggle, EXTREMELY handy when you need it really quick.

Don't need development.
For those unrooted, see my no root survival page.
Notification Toggles is very good.

This is the first phone I've owned that I don't miss root at all. It has everything I need stock. Of course I would love to have root for gravity box alone but I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

Lg g5 stereo MOD help!!

Can anyone change the mixer_paths.xml file to enable front earpiece while playing media? I will attach the file for you to use. Thanks!

Yup, I tried the mod from all the other devices but it just broke my audio, hope someone can mod this specific one.

I'm trying to edit this file, but no success. I tried various combinations of LG G3 stereo mod, Nexus 5X and LG V10, several lines copied and edited by hand. Nothing works. Maybe someone more experienced could edit our mixer_paths.xml? (It's actually mixer_paths_tasha.xml on my H850. All the interesting stuff begins at 1680th line)
Other devices with stereo MOD to look into:
Nexus 5
LG G2

I may have a soft brick...
EDIT: Okay, I don't have a brick. I've spent last few hours playing with this file. I can get G5 to play music through upper speaker, but not through both. I'm not sure how to do the mixing, because nothing I've tested works. I'll try more tomorrow.

Thank you for your efforts, let me know what you come up with tomorrow. Also, I think either the g3 or g4 have this mod.

Yeah, I'm using G3 stereo mod, V10, Nexus 5x and some others as a reference, but nothing worked out yet. I can only tell, that playing music on the earpiece alone isn't as bad as I expected, so this mod could give some good results.
Oh, and yeah, the last time I bricked my G5 somehow. I'm trying again.

We don't know if it'll work for Qualcomm s7 in general yet. But if so then yeah hopefully.

WOO-HOO a glimpse of hope after almost a year of being released!! I myself will not be upgrading, am sick of financing phones... so this will be awesome for me if it can get done.

Same. I'm waiting for the s9. Be sweet to have a custom recovery and Rom on this thing though.

This would be awesome, although I'm not holding my breath.

lets keep our fingers crossed that we can have a stable root on S7e soon.

Yeah root no eng boot !

He looked at it, responded back to me. He was asking me to build a special cable that I'm not able to make. I'm not sure if he has others testing or not. But he did say at first glance the bug that he exploited on other variants did not appear to be present.

That is S7 Edge international read previous posts and screen objects no hope for perm root on ANY AT&T FUTURE SAMSUNG DEVICES he even told me
he didnt tell me the bold red part but the rest and thats because AT&T and SAMSUNG are crazy locking bootloaders. AT&Ts bad in general but stuck on business plan so just switching away from samsung and only buying unlocked phones direct from carrier is best bet if you want root perm and recovery. thats what im doing done personally giving my money to AT&T.

I caved, and was sick and tired of problems. I had 4 S7Es, 2 Nexus, and 2 S5s, my boyfriend's on his 2nd LG, my friend's S7E has extremely bad screen burn. My daughter has never had an issue with her iPhone. I went out and bought one. If I can't have root, I might as well have an Apple. At least the battery isn't dead by lunch.

That's what I most likely will do as well. Sucks that rooting is pretty much dead. I pretty much only want root for hotspot.

Does your AT&T plan include tethering? Because I'm pretty sure the iPhone checks to make sure you are allowed before turning it on as well.
That said, I'm also bummed about the root situation, but for other reasons. I did find a pretty good firewall in NetGuard, and (ironically) the Package Disabler app that only works on Samsung devices was able to disable most of the bloat. Only the ability to backup and restore individual apps (or even just their data) is missing, and why I still wish I had root.
(yes, I know I can use ADB for some backups, but I'm not sure downgrades are possible that way)

is there hope for this phone unlocking wise.

I'm thinking of taking this over the poco because it has better build quality. but I would never want to be stuck with such skin. in there hope for there to be a way to unlock the bootloader without bribing someone for that? even if wouldn't be ready for a while?

Sorry
Probably not, it seems like Huawei decided not to allow tempering with the phone.

What do you mean by stuck with such a skin? You can change launchers, and emui itself is not that bad, after all...

Man, I have non of these issues you've mentioned. Mine has been flawless. The only weird thing that happens sometimes is somethings reset on their own. Like some apps just disapeare from my home screen/folders for no reason. Some settings clear themselves out without me doing anything. Sometimes, I think Samsung is remotely is messing with my phone.

That's a chipset power management issue. The only fix I've found us turning off wifi or bluetooth for a second and then turn it back on.
The reason its happening is because of the wifi, data, and bluetooth chips being all in one when it comes to power management. Great for form factor, dumb for data/power handling.??
It happens on Oreo as well but pie handles it WAY WAY WORSE.

But seriously K-alz kinda good to have this, I get tired of the high and mighty peeps on XDA jumping on others for crap. We were all new to this once. At&t ota is out, I'm wondering if it will fix the bluetooth issue. Having a hard time pulling away from Oreo.

Yup. That's another thing that is getting old. Giving others crap for asking a simple question. Arguing over dumb stuff. Getting off topic on a thread with something very important, root. All of that has brought the idea of having a thread like this. I want everyone to participate and talk about whatever the hell they want. Just make it a chat room.

Sounds like a good idea, but I stupidly vape, so that $20 goes to juice and coils. And dang, those are some nice bikes you got there, bro.

So after taking the OTA on my Note FE to Pie CSC4 I have found that if I use Package disabler you cannot update apps in playstore. So my At&t Note 9 is going through the OTA to CSC1 now. If I am unable to use package disabler on the new Pie this is a deal breaker for me. I was able to use it on CSB3. I will let you guys know how it goes
