Thanks for the update file! Been keeping an eye out for it and hadn't seen anyone else posting! Been waiting for this to update my BTU handset.

Spigen have published their case selection a little early and taken offline. I know there's not much about the design of the devices left to leak, but good to see their usual selection of cases available...

Spigen look to have put up their Note 10 Plus cases early... https://www.spigen.com.sg/st/n/n10plus.html And then removed them... Good thing Google Caches pages eh? :)...

They're in the gallery app, after you've taken the photo. Open the picture and select adjust blur effect.

So this should work on a BTU device with N960FXXS2ARL3/N960FOXM2ARK2/N960FXXU2ARL2 on it? How do you use it? Just rename it update.zip and stick in on the SDcard to update from there? Thanks in advance!

ARK3/ARK2/ARJ1 isn't a beta firmware though. The way I see it (could be completely wrong though), the fota file reads as follows: <versioninfo> <url>https://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/</url> <firmware> <model>SM-N960F</model> <cc>XSG</cc> <version>...

Maybe it's just me, but aren't those fwsize values a bit low for an update that would take you from an Oreo build to a Pie build? From ARK3/ARK2/ARJ1 to CSA2/CSA2/CRLT in 66 MB? <value rcount="1" fwsize="66058088">N960FXXS2ARK3/N960FOXM2ARK2/N960FXXU2ARJ1</value> Am I missing something there?

I've tried three Oreo builds for the Galaxy S8+ (ZRA5, CRAP and CRB7) and in each case the logging information at the bottom of the recovery screen seems odd. When on Nougat it gives details about the CSC applied and reboot reason etc. but on Oreo it just has UNKNOWN and generally looks like...

Does the Italian ITV ROM include any apps specific to that region? I know the Polish one had 2 or 3 apps I had to disable after installing.

My experience of this from loading the Polish Lollipop release was that it changed my CSC from BTU to XEO. Flashing BTU Kitkat back over it wouldn't change it back to BTU so I'd be stuck getting OTA updates for the Polish release (which to be honest would probably be best anyway given the delay...

You can just flash the BTU version over the top, however, I've found that when flashing a BTU KitKat over XEO Lollipop it worked fine but left my CSC as XEO because they're both Multi-CSC ROMs. I believe this means I wouldn't receive BTU OTA updates but instead would get the XEO OTA ones...

Just applied the new OTA update for the Polish firmware. Changes noticed so far are that it brings back Silent Mode :). Also, seems to reduce the lag when closing all apps on the app switcher menu.

Anyone else finding that when they try to set a photo on the lock screen it gets stretched? Works fine for home screen, even when setting both at same time... EDIT: A restart seems to resolve it... So if you set a new picture, restart or it'll look odd...

I flashed this and appear to have a few region specific apps. What looks like a Polish Newspaper app (Rzeczpospolita), e-Kiosk and SkyCash... No big deal, can disable them. Just thought it was a little odd...

Okay, I'm about to flash the Polish unbranded release on a UK unlocked N9005. Quick question first, will this reset the region lock whereby the first 5 minutes of a call (or something like that) need to be from the region of purchase? Thanks in advance!
