Ok

But is it easy to disable the theme if you decided not to use it at a later time?

So far Googled around and most guides requires root to disable the applied theme?

Ok let me give it a go..

This theme right?

"The phone will maintain more than 95 percent of battery capacity even after two years of use" - Samsung’s Koh Dong-jin

if after 2 years still 95% capacity I'm not worried because after 4 years i think it still maintains around 80% capacity

in 3-4 years times maybe will change to new phone

by the way... in order to use fast charging from the samsung charger

is the stock cable required?

or it also will work if i use reputable cable brands like remax or something?

Yeah getting ap set, any issues I should know about?
Looks like no more blue also so maybe getting pink

Check if your unit comes with Snapdragon or Exynoss procs. If SD, you won't be able to use Samsung Pay locally. Other than that nothing major. All the best Bro!

wow ok then i guess remax type C will work as well

Ok thanks for the tip haha

hmm the remax i bought is only 2.1A

although the package said its Fast Charging compatible

samsung default cable is 2.4A?

Why those ap set cant be use samsung pay? Korea ppl dont use spay?

do watch this video as a guide to set it up

requires package disabler pro (although in the video i noticed the xda guy using adhell, not sure if thats free)

since i bought PDP back in 2015, i just use it to disable bixby home (AFTER setting up, but as long as you follow the video and bxactions app guide when you launch it.. you should be fine)

Hang on buddy. Pixel 3 may don't have headphone jack as well. It's possible. it's a trend now.

note 3? rooted since first week when I got it, haha. It stays in my storage box now.
no   
The consignment note was lost and they found the parcel on Monday but haven't sent it until now, crazy. I urge them to send it by today. I will record an unboxing video on the spot, hopefully it's not an empty box.
I had nightmares for 2 nights LOL
Monday night I dreamt that I saw a hair dryer in the box when I open it, last night was empty box.

Nope

Its like its Bixby is never there

Haha

Not even a pop up from Bixby from single tap or long press

The guide missed a step though

After you disabled Bixby home

After finish setting up bxactions

Need to enable Bixby home again (to remove long press Bixby voice pop up)

yes but i think that one requires root

ANYWAY DO NOT buy the license from the in-app purchase... its RM11.99

BUY from the play store instead (the pro version)... RM7.99

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...tions.pro&hl=en
when i saw the difference i straight away request for refund

i know its just RM4 but why need to charge differently in-app its RM9.99 (before you tap 10 days trial) and RM11.99 (after you tap 10 days trial)

BUT on google play store its RM7.99 only.. same freaking license!
its not about the RM4, but its very misleading for users/consumers

i straight submit request to google that the price is different during in-app purchase and price displayed in google play store.. lol got my refund, then i purchase the pro version on play store instead

wah

4k phone rooted?

i dont even wanna touch root now on this note 8

not sure why

Very brave man no doubt.

oh then ok lah since there's no spay feature supported

OTA not that important since you can always update through Odin

but since you are rooted

i'd recommend you to disable these (just rename them to .apk.bak using any root explorer)

1. Settings -> Developer Options -> Uncheck System Auto Update
2. Settings -> Software Update -> Uncheck "Check for updates automatically"
3. system/priv-app/FOTAAgent.apk
4. system/priv-app/SOAgent.apk
5. system/priv-app/SPDClient.apk
6. Reboot

this will completely disable your phone from checking for official OTAs as since you are rooted, you cant do OTA anyway

and 1 thing bad about samsung is that it will keep prompting you regularly although you swiped it away (which is kinda annoying)

but you can resolve that

OR if you want the easier way just purchase Package Disabler Pro and search for anything with "Update" and disable SOAgent/FOTAAgent/SPDClient
seems not the newest one to the club anymore

oh then nvm

if you are on rooted stock then gotta take note

if not samsung will just annoy the fck out of you to update

and they stubbornly download the OTA also despite you dont allow downloading the update

thats why they keep prompting you to update. haha

kena before so i had to reformat the phone and disable them

it was really too annoying back then on my note 5

now i just cant wait for CNY

gonna snap some good pics in my hometown

been years since i went back, good timing to unleash this beast's camera

best part is my grandad's kampung is next to the seaside (like less than 1km away).. if im walking there..

hopefully can snap some nice sunset pics with the note 8 haha
yes. rooted stock does have problem because samsung deliberately make your phone unable to sleep after rooting

thats why people go with custom kernel to fix the issue

but last i heard supersu also fixes it.. version 2.7x or 2.8x onwards

not sure about note 8's

For rooting, you can try Magisk. I am currently using it on my S7 Edge with custom Rom. Works like a charm, easy and hassle free.

i also use magisk for note 3, it can fool safetynet 

i think not worth it, i bought oem samsung wirless fast charger, the quality is really crap. then i bought another from taobao, i think is oem fake also, but this one quality better, at least the fan sound is not noisy.

I remember there is selective Focus on note5 but seriously i cant find it on our note 8 !!! How come
