Most Android Phones suffer drop in fps while shooting snap-chat videos in dark or low lit environments and take screenshot of the screen instead of using the full potential of the camera resulting in crappy pics and videos . There is a work around to change that and its very simple.
Its recommended that you take a twrp backup before starting.
first thing first make sure you have a ROOTED phone .
1. Uninstall snap-chat
2. Download an app called Build.prop from the play store
3. Open build.prop and grant it root access.
4. search for the keyword Model and you will get a line named (ro.product.model) you have to edit that line to OnePlus A3003
5. Confirm that the phone model has changed to OnePlus A3003 by opening build.prop and searching for the model number .
6. Restart your phone and download snapchat .
Note : Tested on most lollipop and marshmallow roms on galaxy s5 , s6 , note 3, 4, 5 , LG G3 , LG G4 , HTC M8
Tested on some sony devices and ended up bootlooping. Dont try if u have other than samsung galaxy, LG , HTC and Oneplus devices.
Edit : U can change the phone model to
1. For all other brands to HTC 10 or ONEPLUS A3003
2. For galaxy note 3 SM-N900X
3. Note 4 SM-N910X
4. NOTE 5 SM-N920X
5. For s6 and s7 just erase the variant whether its P or T or whatever and put an X after the model number
* This mod will give u a smooth video recording experience as well as uses the full potential of the camera instead of just taking a screenshot of the viewfinder.
* on some android phones on which you have on screen soft keys the video or the picture is slightly cropped, by using this mod the snapchat will capture it with full screen
* solves the issue of filters not being displayed on some android phones
Happy snapping
How does this work? Is there proof i.e code that says "if model is xyz do xyz"? Or is this all placebo? Curious.
Its really weird why this works but it does.. Even changing the note 3 or 4 or 5's variant number made it work. I first tried it when i had a note 3 . It was a SM-N9005 i changed its model number to SM-N900X
This snap was taken using a note 4 under low light situation after changing the model number to SM-N910X

There is not a ro.product.model line in my build prop, only lines close to that are ro.product.manufacturer=OnePlus and ro.product.brand=OnePlus. There are also no lines with the word "model".
So should I add the line ro.product.model=OnePlus A3003?

Did you follow all the steps correctly ? And which phone r u using ?
Will this work on a Asus Zenfone 3 Max? And someone know how to root it without a pc? I tried kingoroot and kingroot but they don't work
After changing the Note 5 model number to N920X it doesn't let me log in to my SC account. and yes, I've followed your steps in order and I've changed it back to the original model name and it still doesn't let me in...
The strange thing is that when I log in in my note 5 it says that my account has been temporarily locked, but when I log in on another device my it login on my SC account...
Any help will be great ?

Hello..
My Device is Samsung Galaxy Note 4...
4.4.4
Snapchat Version # 9.1.2.0
Problem:
Trying to imply Negative... , B&w..., or Sepia... effects on Snapchat, and it doesn't work probably!
The thing that as soon as I finish typing the last dot for the effect I need, the effect shows for 1 second and go back to normal! where it has to stay!
So how can I make it stay?
Is it because of the device, or the app?
Plz help

Hello Everyone.. Last week got an update for P20 Pro Indian varient. New features as said by P20 Pro in this update were HI Touch Feature, Paytm Finger Print scan support, June Security patch.....!!!
The drawbacks after update were listed below.
1. Charging Time (0 - 50%) taking 54minutes while the phone is switched off. (This is weird)
2. Scrolling (apps menu, settings, Instagram) has huge lagging.
(P20 Pro Global Issues)
Below points were raised by many USERS and they are not reaching to Huawei for corrections. Let us make publish these points together until we succeeding reaching manufacturer.
3. Captured Screenshots were unable to view full after sending to our WhatsApp contacts, To be fixed
4. Still front facing camera beauty mode not yet fix, it's over saturated
5. Slow motion video @960fps not upto the mark
6. Still no EIS for video recording at 4K
7. All the themes and wallpapers in themes app were of EMUI 8.0 only and it should be upgraded to 8.1 for compatibility to EMUI 8.1 (because wallpapers were getting zoom in while inserting to home screen)
8. Still there is no double tap on screen for screen Off/On
9. Huawei Cloud ID is not compatible in India as we can't verify our mobile due to no "India" in the list of regions.. IDIOTIC
10. Security Updates were too slow compared to other high end devices from other companies or carriers
11. Required 3 finger scroll down for screenshot instead of knuckle tap
12. Default call recording option to be added as you just given in Honor View 10.
13. EMUI to be improvised as menu icons to be customized as stock. (because many of us are not liking the big icons and of round borders)
Hope you guys supports...
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Do you really need to post exact same paragraph over few threads ?? It wont make huawei notice it faster. It only annoy other readers. You better ask a technews site to blow up the issue instead.
Im sorry but i think ur dreaming of a perfect phone. Not all issues or features can be addressed. Thats just unrealistic. We buy phones base on their brands due to their features. Each brand has its own feature. They are known cos of their features. Youre asking for a pecfect phone which doesnt exist. Better deal with the flaws and youll live happier.

Hello. We must make our phone perfect by resolving bugs by posting to manufacturer... So they may resolve... If you think like this "perfect" will be in our mind only.. But no, we have to make it possible and you are the one who don't support me... ???
Hi, can somebody help me with this please? I want to edit build.prop of Oneplus 7 pro to look like Snapdragon S10+. I know where build.prop is, how to edit it, I have root etc. I just have no idea what edit to what exactly. I want just fool some incompatible apps.
Or at least pls post build.prop of some snapdragon s10+ version which HW is closest to Oneplus 7 pro.
I am noob in this, I was happy to make it with rooting itself, so I would prefer specific answer which lines edit and to what exactly, but I could also use some old guides for other phones if I had S10+ build.prop and info which lines to change.
I also have no idea if I need build.prop from exactly same HW samsung (and if there is 10+ like that - 8gb/256gb) or this do not matter. If I edit build.prop to 128gb variant of samsung and i have 256gb storage will it screw something? Will apps and file managers think I have only 128gb and will it lock half of my storage somehow? I want little to none consequences other than fool app compatibility. Thx for any possible info on this subject
Qué?
Seriously, though... It is not really clear what you are trying to achieve.
Is it that you want the Samsung apps without the OneUI wireframe?
If so, that is not really something you can do - you would need ported versions of the apps and some of them might be so tied into the wireframe that they have dependencies that cannot be ported.
...if it is the overall look you are looking for, then try changing the launcher.
Build.prop edits?? What for???
Edit it to install Heroes III which was supported by Note 8 but cant be installed on Oneplus 7 pro and to unlock 60fps in Fortnite which is 100% supported by snapdragon S10. I had succes with Fortnite but Heroes III still cant be installed, maybe its not supported even in s10, only Note series or I need to edit more lines in that build.prop. I simply need to fake my phone model to something that supports highest FPS in games and has Heroes III support. CoD early acces would be nice too, I will probably wait some time and fake it to Note 10 later
I am here to request the file feature_list in /system/etc to test what works on older oneplus phones and what doesn't. I've already tested warp charge and 90hz screen refresh rate on my OnePlus 7 and both works without issue. Please contribute to help me learn more

No change in it since 6t. Full engineer mode has been modified on my device and only difference is ways to manually set standalone bands and some carrier specific frequency changes I don't recommend touching.
Modify persist, change eng flags

The file I mentioned adds certain features to OnePlus phones, e.g. OnePlus 7 Pro has the option to switch between 90hz and 60hz but the OnePlus 7 doesn't. If the line that gives the 7 Pro the option to make those changes is added for the 7 as I've done, I can have that feature as well. That's why I'm in need of the file to see what other unavailable features for the 7 is in the newer models
Hey guys, Im fairly new to this Note 20 Ultra and Android in general so I decided to ask this here but wasn't sure if I should make a separate topic for each anyways here we go I hope you can help me out:
1. How can I make it so when I receive text messages, notifications, etc... the phone screen turn on like iPhones?
2. I'm using Google Maps for navigation but it seems to be running at a very low FPS and it's not smooth at all, is there a way to make it run smoother/higher frame rate?
3. Whats the best way to fully format and reinstall the firmware on my Note 20 Ultra ( I have the unlocked US version purchased directly from Samsung )/ for reference I know I can do a reset from the settings but I wanna know if there is a way to hook it up to PC and have the phone completely wiped and install a fresh OS like I used be able to do on iPhone.

1: look into option within settings for edge lighting.
2: download maps locally to speed things up.
3: don't bother.
4: research the xda forums.

Thanks for taking the time to reply at least but:
1. Already have edge lightning which is not what i was asking: ( Turn the screen on when receiving txt messages )
2. done that as well, doesn't fix the low sub 30 fps issue. looking for any hidden settings/mods to get higher fps in Maps
3. honestly that was not helpful, I'm simply asking what's the best way to go about it, not bothering is simply wasn't what I was looking for.
4. again thanks for taking the time none the less.
1. For this I use a third party app as the Note 20 does not have anymore the notification LED. This app is called aodNotify (from Play Store) and it has option to wake up the screen when a notification arives.
The phone itself does not have such an option, it has something else called "lift to wake" that will wake the screen if you pick it up from where it was standing....but that's regardless if you get a notification or not
2. Dunno what to say here, Maps works fine for me. Maybe reinstall the app, wipe its cache, things like this. But I presume you already tried these
3. Download your official firmware either from Sammobile site or using a tool like Frija, Samfirm (is deprecated) and such, then write the firmware on your phone using Odin. This will ensure you won't trigger Knox and that you'll have official firmware written as new

Welcome to the forums, welcome to Android, and welcome to the Note family!!
To start off with, there's going to be hiccups switching platforms. Apple and Android do the same things, but for different people. Apple just works, but it's the same experience across every device. Android requires some tinkering and customization, but the beauty is you CAN do that.
And some people just can't make the switch, and that's cool. I left Android for Apple years ago, but after months of trying to make it like my Android, I realized that was stupid and switched back to Android and never looked back. Then there's some people who switch platforms and love it. Then there's others who carry and Apple in one pocket, and an Android in the other, because they appreciate the differences.
1. I second AOD notify. I love that app and have used it on my Note 10, my Note 20, and plan to see if it works on the Z Fold 2 when it arrives next week. It can mimic the LED notification light, wake your screen, etc. Also, remember you have an Always On Display that will show all notifications without turning on the screen. I know that's not what you asked, but OPTIONS.
2. Do you have the adaptive refresh rate on? My Google Maps has never been choppy. My work phone used to be an Apple, but I don't remember it having smoother navigation than my Android. I wish I could see your two phones side by side to see what you mean.
3. We don't have iTunes, so you have to do a little more research and work, but we do have an equivalent for reinstalling the factory firmware. For Pixels it's a few command line commands. For Samsung, it's using a Windows application called ODIN.
I say this not to be lazy, but because it will genuinely help you way more...but use the search bar and do some research here. Also check out the the other Galaxy forums (S series, Note 10, even Note 9 and 8). You'll find many tutorials on how to flash the firmware with ODIN. More in depth than I could ever type here. I think I even wrote a guide back in the Note 8 days and posted it here.
But honestly, 99.9% of the time, flashing the firmware isn't necessary and is a waste of time. But, if you want to do it, you can!
The learning this new platform will be fun if you really dive in and start reading and learning. We were all new to Android one time as well. Some of us old farts, like me, came Blackberry and have been doing this for a while. Some people tend to forget they were new once too.
Search, read, then ask questions, and you'll be fine. Welcome!!
