One UI GCam problem

I recently biught a brand new Galaxy Note 9 and it came with One UI installed. I was very exited to try the GCam apk downloadable form this site but it kept crashing. I tried installing it onto my father's Pocophone and worked perfectly. I see that this is not a common problem but I think it's caused by the new One UI on top of the new android 9.0
Are the developers aware of it? Is there a fix to it?
I love Google's HDR+ and image processing too much to give it up.

What's your Note 9 Verizon? Exynos or Snapdragon?

It's Exynos. I made sure to download the latest version for this CPU but it still didn't work. The model of my note 9 is SM-N960F

Looking for Working VoLTE Mod for Unlocked Note 9

Shortcut Master was a Great tool in order to turn on VoLTE/Calling Plus Beta on Sprint.
After Upgrading from the Note 8 to the Note 9 I Loved being able to be on a Phonecall and being able to use the Internet.
All was fine until Android Pie Update.
The same day I downloaded the OTA Android 9/Pie Update and Installed it on My Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 9, VoLTE Stopped and was disabled.
I have been looking for a Guaranteed Working MOD to Pie in order to get VoLTE to work.
Is there Anyone that Can Help with Detailed Instructions with Screenshots in order to Help in the Process of getting VoLTE Working on the Note 9 running Android Pie?

The only way is to flash back to Oreo. It's what I did with my unlocked Note 9, and Shortcut Master allowed me to retain data whole on a call. This is essential since I'm never near WiFi at work these days.

I Downgraded and Blocked Automatically Download Updates.

i have a unlocked sprint Note 9 & after pie update there is no VoLTE now. (I am trying to use it on JIO network in India).
Is there a way to Install Other Global ROM instead of Sprint ROM so that VoLTE can naturally be activated & not hidden or disabled ?

How can you tell if VoLTE is on? For U1 stock firmware, there is no VoLTE in settings.

No settings to tinker. I was using jio volte app first. After 2 days, native volte was active after an update. (April security version).

You can actually access settings for VoLTE.
I posted about it two posts ago.

I found a way to temporarily get it to work. have to do each time you wanna make a call or recieve a call in hd. If you turn on wifi calling and wifi. Make a call and turn wifi of. Hd calling and data will stay enabled for that call. have to do each each time you call. Must have an active internet connection when enabling wifi.

You can't downgrade bootloaders. If you are on Pie already you can't go back to Oreo.
You can look at the thread below on how to enable native call recording with Pie, I have never tried it myself but people report that it does work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/pie-call-recording-wip-t3905737
You can download filmware from updato.com or SamMobile (need to create a free account)

Android 9 is nightmare. I checked now and even app Prey can not lock power off button when screen is locked. Alot of restrictions. Even service point using fenrir can not downgrade on Note 8/9 to Oreo?

Should I have stayed on Android 11?

I picked up an open box return S20FE recently. I immediately updated the software, and now wondering if I made a mistake.
It seems I would have been better off staying on 11 if I wanted to root.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
(btw, love this phone, really underrated IMHO)

Probably. A lot have rolled back from 12. That may be an option if the bootloader wasn't updated too.
Personally I stayed with Android 9 and 10 on my N10+'s, I prefer Pie.

on a snapdragon version of the FE you should be able to flash the last 2 or 3 builds of OneUI 3.1 as the bootloader version number is still the same as now.

Hello
everything will depend on your variant of s20 fe
G781B / You can go back to android 11 (firmware india, spain)
G780G (snapdragon)(4G)
can go back to android 11
the other variants currently only up to android 12

Thank you, I have the SM-G781U1/DS

Can I safely downgrade to Android 10 in S10 5G?

hello I'm planning on getting S10 5G with the global version (SM-G977B)
I want to get back to Android 10 using odin normally, but I'm not sure. Would that be safe or I will trigger some arb stuff??

It depends what binary the phone comes with. You can check what binary it has by doing this: link. If you haven't bought it yet but want to know if Android 10 is supported by it you would have to ask the seller what binary version it has. It looks like Android 10 on that model is supported up to binary version 6, so as long as the firmware it comes with is binary 6 or lower you should be good. See here for available Android 10 firmware for that device: link. Let me know if you have any questions.

So for example in that S20 Ultra 5G
G988BXXSGHWD4
It's not safe to go back to Android 10 (Binary C) because right now it has Android 13 (Binary G), but at the other cases if they are the same, it would be just fine to go back
Did I get that right?
btw I recently downgraded my SM-G981U1 from G981U1UEU4HWD1 to G981U1UES3FVK1 and it was just fine. I'm sorry but can you explain that for me because I'm pretty confused here.
Thank you for your help :")

Yes, it should be impossible: link, link, link (look at quote in first answer).

I really don't know, it should be impossible.

^Agree^
On a stock Samsung with a locked bootloader it should impossible to do that if the version is less than the current one. It's a built in safeguard to protect the kernel from being hacked as I understand it. Locked bootloaders use digital signatures to verify the Android code it's loading.
With Snapdragon N10+'s people have rolled back from 12 to 11 but not 10 or 9. Rollback from 10 to 9 isn't possible from everything I've seen. Not sure about 13. Maybe there's some wiggle room on some versions not indicated by it's binary?
With an unlocked bootloader this doesn't apply.
Meh, I simply leave the firmware be on Androids as this works well for my applications. As such Androids are exceptionally stable and loads are long lived.
