live message on all PIE - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello!
I've only found old methods to install Live message.
These totorials only was for Oreo, now the issue is, that live message from Oreo aren't compatible with Pie so I searched on the Internet.
This is what I found:
https://www.sammobile.com/apk/live-message/samsung-live-message-2-1-16/
When you've installed the APK you need to press on These 3 Dots and move Livemessage to the icon bar
That's the live message version I use for my S9+ and it works Great!
Note: If this post is older than 1 month go to this page scroll down and look for newer versions.
I hope I can help!
Lots of fun!!!
You need to download this GIF to see that it works

Does work for me
US version S9+ doesn't work, it fails to install.

EUI 6.0.30S found with root and blue led notification

After searching desperately for the EUI 6 rom for this phone I found a Rom with root. I didn't get to try it because I thought it was fake or something. It said invalid sparse or something and waited a few more days to get the official EUI6 which I'm using right now. I found the modded Rom on 4pda and they claim that you can touch system partition without getting errors or baseband problem. There is also blue light led notification. There is a patch to disable thermal throttling and make the phone a lot smoother. They said it helped a lot but the download for the zip file is not found when I tried downloading it. They say the boot.img is from 27s. Can you guys help make a custom rom out of this. I want to try it but the most important for me is the thermal.zip file which is sadly not available. https. ://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st= 2020#entry77308634
Let me clear this now that I am using the ROM. It does say that you can make changes to the system partition but it does not mean that you can root it. I tried with magisk and failed. The blue LED notification works. You can access engineer mode in settings. Baseband works. I installed UPM mod for performance but still it is not so good as we need that thermal.zip file to fix throttling. Even the simplest games or animations is going to lag on this phone. Face unlock is here and works well. Some LeEco apps are removed which gives more free ram but just a little bit. Notifications from apps work. Icons appear in the status bar instead of three dots. Color correction is available in settings. Google play is here by default. You can save contacts on Google. Nothing else extraordinary everything else is the same. I just need that thermal throttling fix. The folks over at 4PDA say that this file makes the phone a lot smoother but unfortunately for whatever reason it's not available. So far I changed my boot animation and installed UPM mod via recovery from PC.
There is a newer version available https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h0VsqO-V9jsxf1Pyv3muR1qoKuvSHunu/view.
It's much better. Try it.
It has a throttling manager in developer options but IDK how to use it and it also has a multi window mode. Idk how to use that also. I just discovered that it has buttons on the status bar on the extreme sides. The left side for multitask button and holding it does the user set action and the right side turns off the display and holding it shows the power off options.
It also has a brightness slider in the notification panel along with sliding quick toggles.
It has advanced settings for Dolby and no advertising in apps
is that work on le 650?
does this version work on LEX650? I tried to install it but it is stuck at "Compare product name and tool name"
Yes, it works on x650, x651, and x653
The new fastboot rom is here v04

For me it was a problem with drivers, in the device managers appears Android device, you have to choose manually the driver of bootloader interface of Google and it works, I'm using the ROM now and it's awesome.

V4 fixes some bugs. I think they are important ones. You can't share via Bluetooth, you can open a link or something that redirects you to another app. For example clicking a YouTube link in Gmail or Google chrome won't open YouTube and say something like LeTVshare has stopped. I think you can't use your Bluetooth headset also.
Link for v4 if anyone still needs (remove the spaces)

Hi. I need to ask. What does this mean? Does this include Play Store? Is it a global version?
Or is it just another Chinese ROM?
Thank you!

Guys I have just received an OTA update 1.4gb version 3.05 on my phone.
I would install it but my fear is to loose all data and settings.
Did anyone installed it?
I've also received the OTA update, I would try it but the chinese links for Gapps are nor working (source download not posssible)
Does anyone know how to unroot the terminal?
When local updating to 3.05, the terminal will brick.
How to install Android 9
I've installed it the following way.
Downloaded the new android version to my Nubia X.
Started localupdate via phone --> settings --> update --> localupdate.
Android 9 installed automatically without problems. Your phone should now be unrooted.
Now you need the Root-toolkit for v3.05 --> works only in windows :/
Connect your phone via usb in fastbootmode (you need to activate usb-debugging before)
Execute the root toolkit v3.05
can't post the link, somebody else have to do it.
a window opens --> close it (can't read chinese language)
another window should open --> klick on root.
wait after "success" appears.
Your phone should be restarting.
I'm using android 9 on my nubia x since a month and its working way better then android 8.
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
I give no guarantee

Yeah I'm also looking for a solution how to remove this ****ty nubia voice and replace it with google.
Yeah it could be nice to replace it with Google assistant
I would install Android 9 but my fear is to loose all configurations, permissions, etc and It will take long time to reconfigure every thing.
My question is : is it really worth to install it or there are more or less the same performance?
Anyone knows if nubia X will have final android 9?
Guys!! I know this sounds stupid but I have no "update" option in my settings!! Please help if you know what is going on with my new Nubia X!

Download the rom for Android 9, got to settings -> "System update", then from the menu up, select "Local update".
No issues with 3.05 - works fine, nothings from the apps, data or setting is flushed. But the phone is unrooted and you need to process it again.
But recently I have updated it from 3.03 to 3.11 and I can't find the root tool.
Anyone has idea where to find it?
Thanks.
3.11 play store
Looking allsou the rooting tool for 3.11. Needed play store.

Modded Samsung Internet (with the old UI) needed

Hi guys! I'm using a custom Rom and dont have Knox files. The browser got updated automatically (forget to block it) and now when I try to enter Incognito mode it just hang.
Tried older versions (from apk mirror) same result.
Tried clearing data, cache,etc. same result.
I think perhaps has something to do with knox files missing (i see it cause some exception in the logcat)
Can someone upload a modded version that come with any custom oreo rom ? (I prefer the older UI and not the PIE style) but any modded version to test will be ok
PD: When press to enter incognito mode it ask to set a password or not, I can enter a password or just say no, it enter incognito mode and then revert back to normal mode in 1 second.
If I try to enter incognito mode it ask again the same question. It cannot retain any setting regarding incognito mode.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the link. Updated OP
That was a direct download link from asus server.
I've got serval bootloops before it start normally, plus the fist install i needed to format because failed boot, so it's very unstable and i'm also notice there no full stock recovery, but hopefully it will get one on stable.
Edit: it's happend again, it's not safe to use.
No OTA yet in HKG....keeps pressing the update button....

Do not update to android 9
Issue with phone callsAfter the update to Android pie, call drop in seconds while using bluetooth. This happens with the preloaded app and whatsapp calls.
Can anyone confirm if Volte still work after this update?
every time I tried to sideload the new firmware I get an error message "adb: failed to read command: No error" any suggestions to get it flashed to P?

updating to pie its not working by sideloading you need to save the pie file to your storage and if you cant access your phone you can try flash the latest RAW File just find in other forums.
Well, after trying the RAW file a second time, it is now working. No clue what the deal was before. It shouldn't have even had Magisk installed still after flashing that RAW file, but it did, and was causing the problems.
Second flash actually reset everything. Can't delete this post though.

X2 Pro - Chinese version living in the EU (regrouped Questions and Answers)

Hello Guys,
So i'm new to Oppo, but an old wolf within these corridors.
I have some questions for you crazy people who bought the Chinese DUAL sim version of the Oppo Find X2 Pro.
I went through all the threads, read them and there are some inconsistent answers. So i will post my questions (feel free to ask me to add more) and will update the orginal post with the answers you will give me - so this helps new comers.
1. Does Google Playstore work?
-Confirmed working
2. Does Google Pay work?
-Confirmed working
3. Does Google assistant work?
-Apparently yes, but the "Hey Google" voice detection apparently is grayed out and doesn't work (Need more confirmation on this also)
- Works with issues or extra application
4. Do Gsuite applications work?
-Normally they should as Oppo is not blacklisted like Huawei and runs GMS. But could someone confirm please.
5. Do third party launchers work (without ADBing "pm" the orignal launcher) ?
- NEED CONFIRMATION - but apparently not
- Confirmed not working
6. Does 5G / 4G work?
Apparently a forum member living in Italy says it works fine, but found that some 5G bands are not present in the Chinese version. Please reply yes or no and on which carrier you are and which country.
- NEED MORE CONFIRMATIONS
7. Does WifiCalling and / or VoLTE work? And if they do /don't please write down your carrier/country
-NEED CONFIRMATION
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
-Still waiting to see if that is possible. Waiting to get confirmation from people who tried / succeeded / failed please
- Waiting on results
9. Can you unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
-Only answers i could find were : yes and no, bootloader not yet unlockable, TWRP working... very confusing.
9. Apparently you can't use an app like Textra or other to replace the Stock SMS app (who uses SMS anyhow, right? but still an interesting point).
-Anyone?
10. Looking for tutorials on how to use MEMStool, QPST, etc... anyone know of any so i can link them here? Coming from Samsung, Oneplus, etc could be handy
- Anyone?
11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications? asked by @yarik88
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions
12. Anything else?
Thanks for your feedback and help.
I can come back to you on the other questions for but for now I bought mine from Wonda. Google Play was pre installed and works fine (I had a P40 Pro before so I know about Play Store not working fully!)
Google Pay works without issue. The app is stable and have used all my cards to pay using NFC.
Google assistant works once when you set it up, then it takes itself out of settings. I use the Google Voice Search app instead (I only use mine to set timers etc). All my other Google apps work fine, maps gmail etc.
4G works fine, I have the option for 5G in the menu but don't have a 5G sim to test. No option in the menu for VoLTE/WIFI calling it seems.
Flashing Global ROM needs more testers
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
All attempts to flash the Global (CPH) software on a Chinese (PDEM) phone were unsuccessful so far, however, it seems that all these people (claiming a failure while flashing) are members of the Beta program.
My friend with an Oneplus phone reports the same behaviour (the phone just won't let you flash an older firmware), furthermore, one Beta user here reported that now he can not even flash the original PDEM software while getting the same error message (The installed version is lower than current).
tl;dr
So there is a solid chance that all of this has nothing to do with Global/Chinese ROM, we just need users who AREN'T in the Beta program to test the ROM.
Global ROM (UK version), 12th May 2020, 3 597 MB, CPH2025_11_A.18: https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Pro/session/
The same ROM decrypted from .ozip to .zip for those who want to play with it: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjPo24k0toyl0VJOap14txM-W3Nl?e=ePbq9I
While I've got you here, can you please see if you can install Nova launcher or lawn chair... Just to see if third party launchers work.
Thanks!!!

Google assistant works once when you set it up, then it takes itself out of settings. I use the Google Voice Search app instead (I only use mine to set timers etc). All my other Google apps work fine, maps gmail etc.
4G works fine, I have the option for 5G in the menu but don't have a 5G sim to test. No option in the menu for VoLTE/WIFI calling it seems.

8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
All attempts to flash the Global (CPH) software on a Chinese (PDEM) phone were unsuccessful so far, however, it seems that all these people (claiming a failure while flashing) are members of the Beta program.
My friend with an Oneplus phone reports the same behaviour (the phone just won't let you flash an older firmware), furthermore, one Beta user here reported that now he can not even flash the original PDEM software while getting the same error message (The installed version is lower than current).
tl;dr
So there is a solid chance that all of this has nothing to do with Global/Chinese ROM, we just need users who AREN'T in the Beta program to test the ROM.

I think the same with all Chinese rom phones, there isn't an option to set another launcher. Yes you can download them and they appear but once you close an app it reverts back to stock. Just tried and no it doesn't set as home launcher (Lawnchair 2 anyway).
SO only way is to adb and uninstall the orginal launcher...thanks for confirming.

Just a last question, are you willing to test the global ROM on your phone for the community? As all whom tested it , were trying on beta program and couldn't make it happen as stated by Killer007 above.

11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications?
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions.

Blazingly fast phone, with almost unlimited RAM... and they limit autostart to 5.
Bizarre (theres that buzzword again!)
I don't get this thing of autostart... Are you telling me that this phone with 12gb of ram...limits 5 applications? Meaning if you have mail, WhatsApp, telegram, calendar , or other apps you need notifications for you are limited to 5 apps max??!!?
Please elaborate...I'm having a hard time believing this. Seems worst than Huawei's app killer...

ItsIt's very similar to this.
This is Oppo's worst idea. I don't understand how they think in China, forbidding the user to use his phone. Just the thought that there are so many ad notifications from apps to take this step.
You have the "Manage autorun" setting in it on top of the list of trusted applications from installed (I have Instagramm, Skype, Telegramm, Whatsapp, Vk, Facebook) I think there are more, but here OPPO decides which applications to consider trusted.
Apps from this list do not affect the 5 apps limit.
And below is a list of all the other apps installed on your phone. And you can select Only 5 applications that have been autorun.
Notifications from applications that don't have autorun permission come in very badly, usually only when you start the application itself. But sometimes they break through, too, but not always.
For example, a SIGNAL messenger without autorun does not receive call notifications and becomes useless, you can get within an hour notifications that you missed a call.

Now that's devastating to hear. Considering previously mentioned cases it should have allowed you to flash it... I'm speechless and saddened.
May I at least, out of pure misery, ask you which tool did you use to flash the ROM?
That's nuts....

On a side note, I went to a local store to.see the single SIM version, and we looked inside...and there were connectors for 2 SIM cards...so my question now is : if we hack the card, and able to put two sims inside...is there a way to change the system for it to work with 2 Sims...
Other tools for flashing stock firmware

I tried via recovery the last time using the official EU rom version from oppo's site... I will try these when I get home after work. I believe MSM tool might be the correct route to use from other posts in different threads. :good:

Thank you for your hard work! You deserve some sort of donation at this point.
To save your time, avoid the latest (4th) method (QPST) - files the application requires for flashing are not located in the Oppo's Global ROM.

I believe QFIL won't work either since we only have .ozip to work with..... I will try though. Now if only there was more time in the day to get this done... Of course this couldn't have been something when I had them Corona Days Off.... hahahaha

I guess a lot of people are waiting on you :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Great job for the community. fingers, toes , everything crossed to see if it works.
BUT i still beleive that there is a way to hack the dual sim for single sim international phones, which in a way would be much better.
