[6/7][Trailblazer101] SBrowser Returns! w/ FingerPrint AutoComplete

Trailblazer101: SBrowser Returns! w/ FingerPrint AutoComplete
Hey Everyone! Now that we are officially rooted, time to have some fun! I'll start off with with this little package: It brings back the SBrowser, which has the ability to autocomplete fields with the tap of your finger(print)!
You'll have to flash this package with FlashFire, since we don't have a custom recovery yet. This doesn't trip knox, it still says "Official" within Download Mode :3
Once installed you should go to Settings -> Lock screen and security -> Fingerprint -> *enable* Web sign-in. NO that wasn't there before, I had to re-enable it
Now just test it out with Facebook-- log in, and it'll pop up a dialog asking if it should save the credentials. ***Make sure to click *use fingerprint* if that's what you wanna do!***
Developer Note: If you like my work, and want me to keep doing stuff for the S6 Edge, show that donation link in my profile to the left some love :3 Not a single person donated for my Quick Launch and Music Player Feeds, and honestly it's a little discouraging, when over 3,500 people downloaded my work. I'm not demanding money, and I'm still releasing stuff for free, but how much is up to you guys (time I spend working on my other job [I make my own hours] vs this). Every little bit helps, and would me much appreciated. I will also listen to your requests for features on my previous Feeds, and suggestions for upcoming ones!

Probably not, since the Edge Settings has settings for the Edge Screen, and that might freak the phone out. However, if you send me your SecSettings2 folder within priv-apps, I'll get it working for you/everyone else!

So does this only work for sbrowser? Thanks for all you do, I've never downloaded your apps, but if I do I will donate for sure. I'm a programmer as well, I know the countless hours it takes

Yeah, this is native support for the fingerprint reader, which I wanted to have and was upset that they took it out. So I got it back xD However if you want to be able to use your fingerprint for AutoComplete within other browsers I believe LastPass is, or is on its way towards being, able to do similar behavior. And thank you for the sentiment, even just that is appreciated. The community that can share for 'free', where the ones that have a few dollars to share to those who do provide services they use, is the best kind of community, that should be able to thrive here!

Where can I get flashfire? Thanks

I don't have a S6 on hand but there are plenty who would love this. There is a thread about the Stock Browser in the S6 forum but I don't think they have gotten the fingerprint auth working.

Here's the instructions, over here! : XDA Thread Link. Or you could just extract the zip, and put everything where it should be manually using adb or a root explorer, but make sure to set the permissions, then!

If you flashed my package for it, the one found here, it should definitely work! Note it will not be called 'SBrowser' in the Application Drawer, it'll be called 'Internet' with a globe-type icon. Also make sure to go through all the folders, because it may have automatically been put in one. Send me a PM if you still aren't having luck!

I believe its the only way until coc manage its resolution scaling differently. And even then...on android 5.0 to 5.1 they display differently. Looks better standard dpi on 5.1 than it did before

Damn my s2 is late version and I was reading they don't have root for it yet
Sent from my SM-T817T using Tapatalk

Yeah, resolution is a little messed up. But my main thing is the screen is way too sensitive.... when farming, trying to drop multiple troops at a time just makes the whole thing zoom in... it's not even playable because the screen touch is way too sensitive... it's obviously more than capable of running Clash.. I just don't know how to reduce the sensitivity... maybe get a plastic screen cover or something....

Ive heard people say that aswell i dont seem to have that problem as much my thing is it looks soooo bad now im leasing a tablet that i dont even use basically cuz of how horrible it looks i usually just play on the phone and until they come ojt with lte version root i dont really have any options
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Ive had the same problem. Hoping for a solution soon but there is a work around. If you reboot your tablet and start COC it will properly scale in full resolution and it looks insane on this tablet (i have the 9.7). Sometimes you have to reboot more than once but usually once will do it. As long as you don't kill the app the proper resolution will stick. If you kill it in task manager or hit the back button until you get the 'Exit Clash' prompt it will revert to low rez the next time you launch it. Every now and then (seems like once a week or so for me) it will randomly revert back anyway. So weird. Then you reboot and you're good again. FYI switching users on the tablet (multi profile) will break this which really sucks for me cause i have multiple clash accounts. Anyway this solution has kept me at bay. Hope it helps others.

Hi. Do you have touch screen sensitivity issue where you think you have selected a troop but the touch does not get registered on tab s2 8.0? Tried hard reset, still no luck.

Any reviews yet?

I can't seem to find any reviews on the x performance. have any of you spotted any?

The comparison is not exactly valid. You're comparing a smaller 4.6" screen with HD resolution only (Z3C) with a 5.0" Full-HD (X Perf.).
Think it's more realistic to compare it to the Z2, Z3, Z3+ and Z5...

Thanks for the review...
I have a few things.. The phone going to 3g is normal, in Denmark when making a call to a number from another provider it goes to 3g but when making call to one using same provider it uses 4g for HDVOICE.
LTE is the same as 4G even though it is not 4g but that is another story. It is the same...so no big deal there.
I will await my phone and I look forward to it, my old z3 is in bad shape ?
Thanks again and have a great weekend ?
Sent from my D6603 using XDA-Developers mobile app

HellRoot,
Sure thing man!
Well here a phone w/o VoLTE should stay in 4G at least, but I guess if the one is not FROM (or locked) a carrier, it's not gonna get 4G. I just found out what I'm getting during a call is that it's switching back & forth between 3G and H+, or 3.5G. Some real BS eh? lol
Yeah NOT during a call my int'l XP shows LTE, which I know now is the same as 4G LTE. But it's DURING a call that is what I'm concerned with. Apparently there's more to it than just the VoLTE-certification, b/c my phone is no different than the T-Mo Z1s (which again does NOT have VoLTE either) EXCEPT that it's unlocked and int'l.
Yeah I had the Z3 too and I LOVED it!! Got the S7 but it just wasn't the same. lol Tried the HTC 10 too but still.........to me, Sony is still the best. The Z3 had better battery life than the XP does though, so make sure to get that 360 Hibernation Master app (full paid version!) too. See my review for all the details. Also a QC 2.0 or esp 3.0 charger will help deal with that too.
YW. You too buddy!!

This phone is finally a fine replacement for my z3c. The z5c has been a huge disappointment, horrible battery life, average camera, constant resets or firmware reinstalls.
First off, it's ridiculous that the contacts app force closes. Not sure how that doesn't get caught in beta. Aside from that the phone stays cool, is fast, takes amazing photos, and is eminently stable.

Hey Bialynia,
Yeah I really love it too! I wish it had a bigger battery like my Z3 did, but it's still pretty good, esp when using the 360 Hibernation Master app with it. Works like Stamina Mode but better.
Yeah I think it's ridiculous too. I started a thread on here a few days ago about it. MGS seems to have found a fix, but it didn't work for me, though it might for you? Take a look at the thread here. Let me know if it works for you or not (if you try it)!
I agree on all points....... the camera is definitely better than the HTC 10's and even my now former Galaxy S7's! More detailed than the 10, and more color accurate (and not oversaturated) than the S7's. It runs and loads up apps much quicker than the S7 did, and that had an extra GB of RAM on it! The speakers sound much better than the S7's super awful lone speaker, it doesn't skip while playing music through MicroUSB port with headphones like the S7 constantly did, looks really premium too, etc. I have absolutely no regrets about buying it this phone.

I'm hoping to have an unlocked US version of the X performance possibly late this week and will post thoughts.

lindseybp,
Nice. Despite Sony Mobile not advertising it for the US XP, many people are claiming that the US XP WILL in fact be IP65/68 compliant. It'd be nice if someone (not saying you lol) could test that. Others on here say sometime soon (if not already) someone will develop a flash for the US XP that will actually activate the fingerprint sensor. You may want to ask around on here about that if you want to use it. They say it won't require root or even unlocking of the bootloader, which is extra nice. lol

Would be nice to have a flash like that. I would definitely give it a go. As for testing the IP65/68......I would have to think about it....

Yeah it would. lol So far I've been told you need something called Flashtool (bookmark that link and download now) and then the FTF file (int'l individual firmware file which will just activate the fingerprint sensor, vs the full int'l firmware file which will change everything, but you may not want that.) It's nice b/c unlocking the bootloader on an Xperia phone has been known to permanently mess up the camera, but this doesn't require that or again rooting either. I'd also check through these threads with the word "firmware" being the search term used for the XP. Or just start your own requesting that FTF file.
Haha again, I WASN'T implying you should test that, but someone. I'm sure someone on YouTube will soon enough too, so I'd keep checking there.

I started having other issues with XP this weekend. It randomly restarted like twice on its own, and now after doing another factory reset, I'm noticing that during calls where I have Speakerphone off the screen is STILL not turning off. So returning it for a new one, and am hoping I'll have the same luck MGS did with everything including the Contacts app. lol

That's cool but not a viable option for me.... I lease.

Great!! As if we needed more distracted a******* driving around! I have friends who were seriously injured riding their motor bike from these damn people!
Any app that shows any type of video content on Android Auto should be treated as virus and blocked by Google. The world doesn't need more accidents caused by mindless people at the wheel!

Did it ever occur to you that some of us want the ability to play videos on our in-dash screens while we sit in the car parked?

I don't recall setting this post up as an opinion poll. Like was previously stated there are situations were its nice to be able to watch videos while you are parked. Your opinion has no merit in this particular thread. Move on bro.

I bookmarked netflix and it works through the phone, but once connected to the the car, I can browse and search and all, but it wont play, anyone else try this? Ford Sync 3 unit.

I had a successful install, but never shows 'send to car'. It's only showing 'about' and a greyed-out version number. Any ideas?

does this work when you put the car on drive, this is not working for me. using oreo on galaxsy s9 and honda accord 2018 sport

I have it installed on my pixel XL on "CR-DROID" 8.1 rom. And im linking to Android auto via USB on a 2016 GMC Sierra with no issues parked or running down the road. Everything plays just fine I had issues at first but I went back and followed the instructions in the video exactly. But I will say that I have never seen the "send to car" icon in disguise app. But once I have everything installed and I have enabled the developer settings in Android auto on my phone and went in and click unknown sources or whatever it's called the bottom option, all I do is plug my phone into the USB when Android auto comes up on my Dash I click the far right-hand icon which normally does not give me any option but the standard option to return to GMC intellilink or whatever it says but now I have a second option which is this guy's app. I click that option and I'm good to go.
But I will say this if you are running the latest version of Android auto on your phone it will not work. I believe Google has patched it in the latest version of Android auto from the Play Store. So what I've done to fix that problem is go to my custom recovery TWRP and restore an old backup of my ROM. So that I have the old Android auto app when I reboot. Then immediately after reboot I go to the Play Store then go to settings and turn off auto update apps. Are them go and update all the apps that need to be updated except for the Android auto app. And that's how I continue to run YouTube through Android auto without Google patching me out of it. It sounds like a lot of BS to have to go through but if you remember to go to the Play Store settings and disable auto update apps then you don't have to deal with this over and over. But then again I am using Android auto on a GMC Sierra and maybe different for you guys with other vehicles. Especially FORDS. Ford's are always messing stuff up. Lmao

Since the author of this app is no longer really working on it anymore there are some that have taken this a step further. You can now mirror anything on your phone screen to Android Auto. Discussion thread is here...

Anybody get this working on a Samsung S9??

Don't need to have an S9... we both have Android phones. Go study up and learn how to do it just like I did. BTW why are reading and posting in the Pixel XL threads if you have an S9 in the first place?

LG G8 in hand. Here's what's happening so far

Hey I have a Verizon retail unit I'm reviewing and figured I start a thread about it with what I'm experiencing as I go.
I did an unboxing and first look comparing it to the V40 and the Pixel 3. https://youtu.be/fFcwGiNcJkw
First I must say I like that LG launched this with Android Pie, V40 still waiting. Also it's great to have a wide angle camera back. I stopped using the v40 since it did not have pie and could not set it up from my daily pixel 3 because of it.
I have popped a Verizon sim in so real world testing has started. I will be taking it down to a NASA launch this week so will be taking LOTS of photos and videos with it over the next week. Be sure to follow me @jerflash on Instagram and Twitter for first look at photos.
Let me know if you have any questions and take a look at my other videos ?

1st, could you please show in video if one can turn on "Pie Andriod gestures" on G8 in settings? Or are they totally disabled from kernel and not supported ? That'll be weird 'cause w/o gestures G8 is DOA

The Android Pie gestures are indeed present. When I used my Pixel 3 to fully setup the device they turned on automatically bit you can enable them in settings.
The pill looks a bit different from the one on the Pixel but works the same. The animation is a bit jank when swiping up from the pill to get resents. I suspect they don't think many people will turn it on.

Not sure if you knew this but you don't have to even swipe up. You can just swipe sideways on the pill for recents which I find very quick.

Yes this does work quicker than the pull-up but not quite as intuitive for me. I use it on the pixel occasionally.

Love the LG G8 that I’ve purchased from T-Mobile though I have major issues that might make me trade it in for a Oneplus 7 (if T-Mobile sells it).
work on improving face ID and hand ID for better security features
use TOF camera to create excellent selfies
update the Lg skin already to something more modern UI
full screen gestures as an option (pill gestures are terrible)
perfect night mode in the camera app
Finally, to make a difference join the google android Q beta and be first since both of your phones were out early.
With these problems, if the one plus 7 comes with the 48 mega pixel Sony sensor for binning support, 6.2 – 6.4 inches display and how fast they do updates will make me trade in LG G8.

Can you please share screenshot of camera details using app called hw device info?

With what you describe here it sounds like you are more of a Pixel/1plus type of person. Hopefully the 7 comes out for you and you can move on.

Identical to LG v40
The front selfie is different, it uses the same one like the 5x zoom telephoto camera sensor of Huawei p30 pro
