No, unfortunately the mod requires modification of system files which are not possible without root.

okay, thanks. So i will wait for Root atm
has hoped its works with pure Stock, but when its not... can still wait

I was fighting with the S9 and at the end failed. The thing which frustrated me the most was the fact that my blood sugar sensor (Freestyle Libre) was not working with the phone having <70% battery level. This was the major reason for me to go with S10 and now it works at all battery levels. I've found info about this here from other users and they were all reporting this. No solution from Abbott or Samsung, of course. This only happened with the S9, no other phone model reported. The SD card hack also did not work. So I went with the 512GB model of S10 and so this problem got solved so. I traded my S9 in for 400 euro so the damage wasn't so bad since I bought it for around 530 euro. Oh well.... no other flagship smartphone which would still fit in my pockets.

What is this MOD? What does it enable? And can you tell me how it was disabled with an update?
Thanks!
I've been using an adapter like this for my Note8 and would like to use it with S10 as well:
https://www.amazon.in/Asteroid-Hybrid-Adapter-Avails-Micro/dp/B06XZ5TRMV
What it does, it enables one to insert 2 SIM cards and one sdcard at the same time into the sim/card tray and have all the tree cards work simultaneously, without any software hacks.

VASRA,
What phone specifically is working with this mod the S10+ (us or international version [SM-G975F/DS vs SM-G975UZKAXAA])
Can you tell us more about your setup /phone nd if you found any limitations with trying to use this device. You have yours rooted right?

Ok so (combining 2 threads) : Please correct me if im wrong.
From a purely functional stand point the Samsung S10 Plus :
1) The SM-G975F/DS (International ) is essentially the same as SM-G975U (U.S.) [SM-G975UZKAXAA] (aside from $269 price diff)
2) Having the EXYNOS vs the SNAPDRAGON doesnt have any major disadvantages
3) To use 2 sims and a SD at the same time you need to root S10+ phone and get an adapter
4) When you root the phone you lose the Warranty
5) A method to root the S10+ is available​Am i understanding this correctly?
Any comments?

any update on this? thanks

Aaa... I didnt saw this one. So I post my post here:
So Samsung made their S5 water resistant. Is Samsung going to release S5 Active?
I hope there will be S5 Active and future Actives toi. I really like hardware buttons and LCD screen. No typical AMOLED burned pixels.
What do you think? Will you move to S5? Me not. I like my S4 Active.
Are ee becomming new ui? I hope so, I saw small improvement s that helps uu and it looks less ugly. I want slow montion live hdr and focus change for oyr S4A.

No, for the following reasons:
My phone's already water resistant and dust resistant.
I already have a 3000mah (zero lemon) battery (200mah larger than S5).
I don't want a finger scanner or heart rate sensor.
While the processing power would be nice, my phone (with CM10.2 and other tweaks) already benches higher on AnTuTu than any other devices average (except phablets). Should last me a while.
While I would really like a better camera, I usually have a DSLR on me anyway, and this wasn't my main concern last time either.
No real design changes?
Is there any other hardware changes at all?
I will miss the updates and wider support that it would achieve though, but I'm willing to wait for a Note 4 for that.

S5 is like an inch upgrade of S4 Active, of course, with all the high end AMOLED, camera MP.. Basically that's it. S4 is cheaper and works well, especially coupled with some nice custom roms. BTW.. the 3000mah battery, the brand name is zero lemon??? Samsung doesn't have a larger capacity battery for S4 active. :crying:

Yes, the brand name is Zerolemon
Maybe?
The lack of development for this phone hampers it. My old SGS3 was better. It still works, but when it fell a year ago, it was cheaper to upgrade then to get the screen replaced.
I like the active, but the recent upgrade has broken more things than it fixed. I miss having changing out roms and being able to customize.

hope i can upload a test build soon !
I had every top model from top manifacturers.Note 2/3,S 3/4,Mega 6.3,Nexus 4/5,XPZ,Padfone 2,One...and now return to Active for second time.For me its perfect.Top phone with no scare from BBQ,home and care repairs... I can use it with dirty hands and finaly both washed,its so easy!
Not Likely
After the appalling support the S4A has received from Samsung I will be changing to a Google nexus device or HTC. If it weren't for the likes of Spelgelius / Mythi / LeJay I'd be throwing the active in a deep dark river....
I'm lucky in that I get an upgrade every 8 months or so by passing down my phone to my lad, who then passes his to my wife.... Everyone gets a NEW phone... just mines the newest!!

Are you talking support accessory-wise? I mean, it shares many things with the s4 like the battery, and the software just upgraded to 4.4.2, so I'm not sure how that is appalling. The only one "official" accessory I wanted to see was a wireless charging back. Le sigh.
I've sent my S4a off to Samsung warranty repair twice now since last June. I purchased the phone the first day it came out at ATT. I also put it on T-Mobile the first day it came out.
Twice now I've had to send mine off to Samsung for the back button that stops working. First they gave me a new replacement phone, and recently they replaced everything but the main circuit board (new screen, bezel, buttons, charge port, etc).
I have less than 2 months left of warranty, so I'm not sure what I'm doing past June. Probably getting an S5 (AKA = S4 Active version 2.0).
I will NOT own this S4 Active without a warranty, it's proven to be a POS.
I have a question, (I'm sort of a noob) but, I upgraded to Stock 4.4.2 TW XXUCUNE5 and I want to get the custom rom Ressurection Remix 4.4.2, will this brick my device?

I'm on my 4th Active, had a problem with echoes during calls, and that was on the 1st day. Probably going to the G3 or M8....watching the G3 thread for bootloader unlock.

Ressurection Remix rom do not officially support S4 Active.
See resurrectionremix.com under list of Devices.
A correct installation of a supported custom rom for your device will not brick your device.
Forcing or installing a custom rom that is not supported for your device can brick your phone.
Since you upgraded to stock 4.4.2 you have now when in download mode Knox flag 0x0.
Any installation of a custom rom on your device will set the Knox flag to 0x1 and is irreversible meaning warranty will be void.
I bought mine off ebay, and tbh, I thought I was getting a regular S4. I'm kind of surprised at the lack of support for this phone too for as much as they hyped it as being super awesome. I do like it, though I'd rather have the regular S4. What I *really* want is to be able to run BeanStalk on it (it runs on the other S4 Active, not sure what the distinction is), but I'm holding on to this phone until it dies, hoping to buy a PhoneBloks style phone next.

The i537, which you have has a locked bootloader and the i9295 does not. What this means is that the bootloader with verify the signature of every zip file that you try to flash, the i9295 does not have this restriction. This means that they are able to flash custom kernels and custom recovery while us on the i537's cannot.
The i537 can flash custom ROMs that are based on the TouchWiz kernel through SafeStrap, however BeanStalk uses a custom kernel which means it cannot be installed you can flash it through SafeStrap and the phone will not boot. The ROM will be looking for a custom kernel and when it cannot find it, it will bootloop.
Hello,
I've just rooted my S4 Active i9295 with stock firmware 4.4.2 and managed to delete 27 apps that came preinstalled that I've never used such as ChatOn, Samsung apps etc. Are there any other tweaks that can improve my phone's performance? Is there something that especially needs to be deleted or what else should I do next to improve its performances?
Thank you
Games lag alot like subway surfer, and even sometimes keyboard too. It has 2GB ram, still dnt understand why. I hve very less apps installed. Reply is theres any solutions

Current state of custom ROMs on S4 Active?
Hello,
I have an AT&T S4 Active, SGH-I537. I have been able to root it, but haven't gone on to put on a custom ROM because the last I heard, the jackwagons at AT&T locked the phone down. But it looks like it is possible to do this now, but I am not sure because the forum posts are not clear. Is this possible?
If so, I am looking for something very fast, light and clean and for all the hardware to work. Is this available?
Thanks for any help!

[Q] Which variant is my S3?

Hi everyone.
I know it is very silly question but i am very confused.
I bought a S3 with 2GB RAM and LTE. I am not sure that it is i9305 or SHV210s.
SHV210s variant has an antenna but my cell does not have it, so i thought it is i9305 but when i go to download mode (using volume down+home+power keys) it shows its model as SHV210s.
how can i be sure about my cell's variant because i want to install custom ROM on it???
See your identical post .
You say you flashed SHV210 so of course it says that.
You should go back to the retailer and find what you bought .
My guess based on your reply in your identical post .
You have an I9300 but f5555555 it up by flashing the wrong firmware .

I think some one fooled you. Sorry. I9300 dont come with LTE i think.
So you have probably destroyed your phone.

i9300 doesn't have 2gb ram and lte. Maybe the seller of that phone fooled you or maybe it's a clone.

Dual stereo speakers on Note 8 without root from S9

Now that the s9 is here is there possibly gonna be a port of the dual speakers without root? It's the one thing that's driving me crazy.

Not going to happen with no way to install a custom kernel (at least on the snapdragon N8)
I have the snapdragon. So the only way is rooting? What will I lose if I root?
For starters, you will loose knox and samsung pay, s heath too, but there is a patch for s health, I heard that the batt will not charge to 100%, I dont know if there is some work around for it

You can charge the battery to 100% but it must be at cap 80%, then boot to the Download Mode intro screen and leave it there. It'll them charge to 100%.

What ? You re tryin to say that Note 8 is not charging 100% if it s rooted ? Or with custom rom ?
Must be an issue with Snapdragon. I have Exonys rooted and the battery charges fully.
The 80% batt restriction is for snapdragons

I just did the update Oreo and I lost my old separate sound settings. No matter where I looked I couldn't find them. I thought maybe they just been moved. Turns out they did move them - to a completely separate application called Samsung Sound Assistant. It is in the play store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.soundassistant
I have SD/N950U1 and still on7.1.1/Nougat. I had this app since November and no other place to make the separate settings... nothing new IMO

This is a nice app but it doesn't address the question that the OP raised because the app doesn't have the option to enable dual speakers on the Note 8.
I'm also looking for dual speaker capability on my Exynos Note 8 (N950FD). Is it actually possible or is there a hardware limitation?

Snapdragon rooted.
I did not read that carefully enough. Sorry. Dual speakers on the device would be nice, esp since the speaker is so weak. I have resorted to watching videos in the mirror so I can put the speaker up to my ear... LoL

you probably missed the part where your note 9 snapdragon doesn't have that capacity. in the event where you do have an exynos then you missed the part where these older phone needed 7 days of uptime for it to appear( not sure if this is still the case on these certain F and DS note 9s')

well this is unfortunately not news. been this ways for years and years...
some hacks will eventually make their way but it will take time and effort. the procedure on your phone will most likely not be as simple to do as with the exynos version when ever these hacks come out

Why isn't there that much ROM development for Snapdragon?? or Unlocked Note 9?

How's everyone going to Today or Night depending where your from?
I currently have an Unlocked Note 9 Model #SM-N960U1 which has a snapdragon processor.
I've been wondering isnt there any Rom development for the Snapdragon versions. I see that the Exynos Processor Version has a decent amount of development going on there. I have noticed with previous Samsung phones that its usually the other way around, that there's more going on for snapdragon than exynos. Does anyone have an idea why that is?
Thank you,
Andr3w151
Security is tighter with the US SD versions. Locked bootloader. Root is in the works.

Because it has a locked bootloader that will never be unlocked, and currently no root (although that is being worked on).

there never was a time in at least the past 5 years where snapdragon had more development/roms than exynos.

Supply and demand, the note 9 Oreo is pretty much a perfect phone (I'd add a 7.5 inch screen model for us old farts)
Apps on SD, but 512mb system who cares!

Stereo Speakers & Headphone Jack
Stylus
4000ma batter
Quick & Wireless Charging
DeX - full Ubuntu 16.04 on external monitor
Call Recording
Awesome Camera
Many Many payment options, That my boys and girls is WHY these Bootloader's are locked down!

I agree with @sullytrny . This is practically my perfect phone. I've never had any issues with this device. It's rock solid. I can't think of a reason that I would like to root my phone. It has every feature I would have added by rooting my phone 4 years ago. Good job Samsung. Now push the Pie update to your unlocked devices please.

But if you did need to restart your phone,it does that automatically as well. I have my settings restart every Monday morning at 3am just to "clear it out" for the work week. Truly is a great device. Waiting for my S10 though. That has to be a step up.

I can think of a reason. The ability to drop a full metal backup and restore is sorely missing in non-rooted phones.
