Thanks, but I know about the market. I'm not new to Android just new to the Nexus 1.

For what? Flashlight/Tether available without rooting. Updates to froyo available without rooting.
Unless he's a developer with a need for root access, why?

because if he doesnt root, he will burn in that white notification bar causing merpanent image sticking to the pixels at the top of his screen. rooting will let him use a black notification bar. seriously, that's the main reason why i rooted and suggest others to as well. i would wait till his 14 day period is over though. however it only took my phone less than 1 month to already show pixels wear of the notification bar.
i'm curious if he sees any on his brand new unit already.
Soooooo, this just happened.

Interesting...are you on the leaked Pie builds? Or are you still on official Oreo?
Well, nevermind. I'm on the official Oreo and I just got through same pop-up. That sucks.
a bit more info

Hopefully some developer will hack the whole theme-engine; Samsung copied this system from Xiaomi, the MIUI-shop works exactly the same, and you can download themes elsewhere, then apply them on your own device (and it's not illegal!). Besides, there are a lot of great free MIUI-themes available for years now.
Major bummer for some.

Thanks for the link, however, that was no more info at all. LOL. Just them repeating what we said, then guessing why Samsung is doing it, then admitting they don't really know either.
It seems this has taken everyone by surprise and Samsung has offered no explanation at all.
I just read this on some other site and it's retarded, some themes are meant to be released for free. I could get with getting a notification for making a donation towards the developer but forcing this on people seems rather dumb.
Just another reason to root our devices!

My guess is the low quality themes were negatively impacting performance. If you notice reputable themes are under 10 MB. Poorly made themes are much larger and run terribly. I prefer choice over the lack thereof but I've seen light and dark themes with various color options in the previews of Pie.
Still, I'm not a fan of the dead spaces and excess use of bubbles in Pie but I'll reserve judgment for the final product.

No thanks! Themes are not worth it to lose Samsung Pay or Pass for me!

That's not just the reason to root... I'm using 2 SIM card and an SD card simultaneously using a SIM-extender, Samsung blocked this, you need root & a custom ROM for this.

Yes, but the phone would have been way more expensive. And that's also not the only reason for me to root, there are several other reasons like using Titanium Backup, making a complete NAND-backup using TWRP, using Xposed etc.

That makes sense. Wish we could root without losing some of the core features though. I have a Snapdragon, so I don't have to worry about it. XD
So....theme expires, apply another one, go back to the one we want to use? I switch themes ever couple days so for me it's not a bahumbug. I haven't paid for any yet, I just stick to the free ones. That $2.50 is hard to swallow for shared icons and wallpaper with different palette. This is not to knock the actual creates here and some on there, but I've seen a lot of them release different colour variants for the same price and all that was changed was the colour. Wtf?!

I was thinking the same thing and just bought it today. Took me long enough. Should have done it sooner.
Will Swift installer even work on Android Pie? I remember the articles back when Android P was in beta that Substratum theming wouldn't be possible.

Yeah, I know, maybe in the future it will be possible to bring back Samsung Pay? (although I doubt if I will ever be using it, hence the choice I made now to root).

Yes and it works on other devices too.
Looked through the forums a bit, didn't see any mention of it. Is it possible to get ARCore working on this phone somehow? Apparently the hardware needed is there, but it doesn't have the software/driver/plugin/whatever support needed for it to actually work.

Install Pixelarity magisk module and you can use daydream or ar play services. That's what I did.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. While scrolling down the list to find it, I passed an ARCore/Playground Patcher, which also seems to be exactly what's needed. ::shrug:: I just want to try out Google Measure, which seems to need it... lol.

You can get notifications through the Telegram group Magisk Modules Updates if you join. Pretty handy.
I can't seem to fine any working GCAM for Note 9 Exynos. If anybody has one kindly letme know, I can't stand the stock camera!!
The Zgcam is the best i found.
It's working really nice.

Of course!
Camera2api is an android feature that allows having some camera features like the gcam support. Its not fully enabled on default but there is an easy way to do it.
First of all your phone has to be rooted with magisk (magisk is not necessarily needed but it's way easier with it).
Then you have to download an app called camera2api enabler which you can find in the Playstore.
Accept the Super user request and just let the app do it's job.

Ohh, I see. I used to do rooting a long time ago, didn't even realized its still a thing in 2022. I gotcha your point it will require some fiddling to do. Gcam used to work perfectly in my Galaxy S8 however jn this Note 9 it's is giving me nightmares. Lol!! and thanks man you have helped alot, really appreciate it!!
No problem I help where ever i can.
I select a number or period for notifications, only a period is displayed, and if I select only a number, no notification appears at all on the application icon.
Do you have the same problem? I can't live with this
Only the notification dots work for the apps, not a single number setting works for me.
Thank you, I'm going to return the phone.
Nova Launcher is unusable, so I can't exist without such a funny feature.
Thank you

You're going to return a phone because nova launcher didn't work for you?
That's nuts
No, I haven't used Nova launcher since A12.
The problem is that it doesn't show me the number of notifications on the app icon, only the dot. This is unusable for my workflow.

Why would you return a phone for that?
Try another launcher, nova isn't even that good.
What if the dot is a 12 feature? You'd be returning a phone for no reason.
I did see the lack of a number instead of a dot in the notification settings, if it meant that much to me I'd wait for a custom ROM to drop which will almost certainly have this feature..
Actually I just checked my launcher, I use lawn chair and this feature works fine so the limitation appears to be a Nova issue.
It doesn't work well on OxygenOS, not on Nova launcher. All launchers have glitch since A12.
And yes, that's one of the reasons I'll give it back. In fact, I bought it as an alternative to the Galaxy S22Ultra, which I did not want to wait for the tuning of the terrible SW. But when I have to wait, I'd rather wait with S22u in hand

I honestly think you start off negatively, you've got an idea of what you want in another phone..so stick with that phone..
Nothing anyone says here is going to change your mind, so why bother making threads ? Just get rid of the phone lol.
Really negative..
I'm done with both threads.
I'm negative when people here convince me it works and then I find out they have root.

Lol you pulling me back in, this is trolling at it's best.
Dude it's a OnePlus device, it was spawned by a guy made popular for making Cyanogen Mod? It is the XDA surrogate son..
You can unlock the bootloader and root without risk. Something a Samsung cannot do and will never be able to do.
You flash anything with Odin and it's warranty goodbye to your Samsung.
Sure people root, It's a OnePlus device, hell I'd question them if they didn't, they stand to gain not lose features.
Btw, I did not have to root to obtain the numbers on my apps.
Just saying.
Plus no one is trying to convince you of anything, they're saying out loud some truths, whether your read it or understand it is besides the point.
Mods. Can this thread be closed? The OP obviously doesn't want a solution and has already started that they intend to return their device, I see no point in leaving it open, it'll lead to conflict without resolution

I understand everything and I like OnePlus. In the past, I rooted every single phone, but now I need reliability mainly because of the banking app and google play. I don't have time to play with him all the time and solve the safetynet repeatedly ...
