Wallaw weh, salute! Wish I can be like you someday. All my previous phones got sp only on the first few months, then naked.

his price is 199

199 include installation.. seems fair enough nod.gif

his cases i might just get the nillkin TPU

as on the internet the spigen cases i see does feel abit too thick

the ones i wanted he dont carry

so i might just get nillkin TPU case as its the thinnest nod.gif
my note 5 is also using nillkin TPU currently.

its not exactly drop protection case but at least it has a case to hold lol.
*
Ya 199 seems fair enough. since u r looking for a thin tpu case then nillkin sounds like a good combo to me.

ya

but he got reply me saying TPU case might not be drop protective so he wants to recommend me other cases

lets see in real life if those spigen cases will look good on the note 8 or not (for my taste lah laugh.gif )

i prefer minimalism, hence the TPU case on my current note 5

plan to have the same for the note 8 haha
*
agree, eventhough spigen provides better protection, I still prefer nillkin due to its thinness which gives naked feeling on hand.

oh this one!!

saw it yesterday

i also saw these:

2. https://www.lazada.com.my/i-tech-ultra-thin....709af229FhmTFU

3. https://www.lazada.com.my/slim-full-protect....709af229FhmTFU
these cases are so much more thinner than the nillkin TPU, i think in terms of protection compared with the 2, nillkin more protection lol
(this one got a bit of the Audi RS7 tail light feel, the curves tongue.gif)

hmm.gif just wonder where you bought the Deep Blue Sea N8 is it  thumbup.gif

Korean import set, single sim and cannot use Samsung pay cry.gif. On the bright side, the storage is 256gb. With that said, I rooted my phone on the same day I received my phone. hahaha.

edit: bought thru 11street, there's a local seller called mwc I think.

even my note 5 only internal storage, 32gb.. still have about 7gb remaining laugh.gif

mostly photos for me

so i think if i buy 64gb, gonna be too much, plan to get sdcard for emergency storage only.. but 16gb abit low laugh.gif

so may opt for 32gb
what green line?
*
Coming from s6 edge plus with only 32gb storage. It was so painful that I couldn't even make twrp backup everytime flashing a new ROM.

You can save backup to ext pendrive. Just select this option at TWRP settings

Yes, but it's way frigging too slow on ext pendrive.

any sample of what we can do with it?

but i think i wont have too much time to theme

nowadays i prefer stability and just work as it is since android is very mature already

and oreo samsung will update its default emoji to a much more readable one!

last time my note 5 i root was because of this.. really hard to differentiate sometimes in other apps other than whatsapp sweat.gif

one of the reasons i rooted lah haha

last time i rooted it for:

- removing ads (but now i dont really bother anymore)
- emoji (no point now since samsung will be updating it to a more acceptable emoji with oreo)
- fonts (on note 5, using custom 3rd party fonts requires root due to the signature issue)
- samsung stock keyboard long tap for symbols (editing the CSC files), now i just use swiftkey lol
- xposed (but now it feels like xposed is no longer needed, as there are 3rd party alternatives that does not require root)

Get swift dark for whatsapp. my favourite so far.

You will be surprised to see how sony's phone perform in standby and deep sleep. Note 8 cant even hold a candle next to it.

Ya, I even heard some developer made an xposed module to replicate sony standby mode. But I just don't like Sony phones.
