Google removes "available 13th November"

I just noticed this on both the Canadian and the American site.
Would it be in lieu of the preorder (midnight)? Or is it delayed?

I think because comparison threads are not allowed in XDA.
Thanks for the video in any case.

I have no interested in the Note 3 (to large, TW, and long waiting updates) but I watched the video anyway. Good watch. Thanks OP for posting.

True, while they are not allowed we still have other VS. threads in the N5 section that have not been closed so it looks like they are letting them stay.
I think they are great and don't understand the reason why XDA would lock them anyway. If people do not care about a certain phone vs. another don't read it. It is not like the titles are misleading like so many other worthless threads that get opened here.

Probably because few are as well thought out and presented as yours. Most are juvenile and pointless. Yours is pretty good though. Thanks!

Hypothetical question.....

I have been seeing posts recently of someone sending in their Nexus 5X for repairs, and getting more RAM in the phone. Hypothetically speaking, would it be possible to take the Samsung Galaxy s8's screen, and put it on the Nexus 6 ? How difficult would that be ?

Ram and emmc chips are one thing... The panel of s8 would require a whole new redo of kernel with drivers to support it. Not only that they don't match hardware and ribbon cable wise. Not only that Nexus 6 is very close to end of life so doubt anyone would even do it even if it were possible.

You know, of course, that "Senior Member" is a meaningless title since you only have to post 100 comments to "earn" it In any case, many people don't understand how the hardware works, they only barely know how to unlock the bootloader on a Nexus and flash TWRP and a custom ROM. By the time one would be done doing all the hardware and software modding he'd need to fit a Galaxy S8 screen on the Nexus it'd be more worthwhile to just get the S8

Let's put it this way: it'd actually be easier to get a Galaxy S8, learn from scratch (as in with zero coding experience) how to break Samsung’s Knox and related security features, forcibly bypass any bootloader locks present and port a custom recovery like TWRP than it would be to make a S8 display work on a Nexus 6

But it still comes in black right?

Would a Toyota Camry windshield fit on a Dodge Charger?

Hahaha......Okay okay......*face palm* I had a feeling this is the response I would get. Honestly, I have been a member of XDA for years. And as one of you already pointed out, I'm one of those "senior members" that has learned how to root, install a custom recovery​ and a few other things. I posted this, because I really have no idea how some hardware works on phones compared to computers. I have worked on laptops and desktops for years, and some of the hardware in laptops is interchangeable, and others, is not. But hey, at least I made a few of you laugh, right ?

Samsung likes to release so many variants of one device that even swapping a screen from one model(TMO) to a model(VRZ) may have a ribbon issue. I have always been partial to the _Samsung Round_ screen but, i am not THAT partial. I have gotten mics.,loud and ear speakers to "line up" and "fit" as a way of replacement or out of pure curiosity.

Any SE custom ROM development?

There's a big silence about the MI 8 SE here on XDA, so I decided to ask this question.
I am considering to buy this phone, but without custom rom support, Xiaomi phones worth nothing to me.:silly:

Hi same here..I found prices around 300€ which is unbelievable for this sort of phone!
But I enjoy only with custom roms and development!
---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------
I understand that Kernel source has been released so there should be good chance of development

Edit: I was accidentally refering to the Mi 8 with 845 instead of SE which has 710, my bad

My mistake, I was referring to the Mi 8 with Snapdragon 845 whereas SE has Snapdragon 710, sorry

Maybe if any admin or moderator of XDA can create a seperate SE topic on XDA, because we have only 8 as of now

It's not only the Mi 8, the same question is on the Mi Mix 2S forums to.
It's is not like Xiaomi redmi note 5 where the Note series have a huge fanbase even that phone is not perfect image retention ghosting etc.
This phones are expensive, and less ppl buy this.
Oneplus 6 development is also not so fast compared to the early days.
The notch have change things even on the Oneplus 6 custom roms based on lineage or aosp are not compatible with the notch so practical useless.

Let's revive this topic...
The question is still the same...

It's perfect by specifications and price, but downside is that probably it won't have global rom and custom rom development still haven't started.

Faith for Note 9 AT&T Root possibility ?

Who here has hopes and dreams for their note 9 to have root ? At this point there's no point of asking for a UL Bootloader.. Just faith for Root ! I feel like someone will crack this for this phone.

Not gonna happen.

Not if you're a developer. For example, in my app, I need to turn on hotspot programmatically, but since srtWifiEnabled method is private, even with reflection, it need privileged permissions, i.e., root. Even Tasker fails to toggle hotspot due to this. Only root can fix this.

I was fine with the 80 percent, with all the tweaks and bloatware you can remove it's pretty good with just 80 percent. i mean it's basically at 100 but says it's 80. BTW google pixel is done lolol they don't even have a headphone jack.

Everyone said the Note8 wouldn't be rooted and that happened rather quickly. I wouldn't hold my breath, but it's possible.
