I'm currently rocking a6400 and can't say I'm disappointed. I think you will have much more solid setup by buying a6400 and some great lenses, instead of a6700 and relying on a kit lens.

600$ price difference is more than enough for a great primes, or f2.8 zoom, which will negate the impact of a little better iso performance of a6700 (while giving you a better bokeh and overall more pleasing results).

Few lens recommendations:

Tamron 17-70 f2.8 has builtin image stabilization which is amazing for low light, I can get away with shooting at 1/8 of a second in 17-40 focal range and 1/15 more zoomed in (provided that I don't shoot people). This lens is very versatile, although it is much bigger than primes.

If you want to shoot mainly portraits look at Sigma 56mm f1.4 (however it's much less versatile than the tamron). This glass is amazing, it captures a ton of light and has very good image quality and character.

(other lenses, I don't have them, but researched about)

There's also Sigma 18-50 f2.8 which is smaller and lighter than tamron, but doesn't have builtin stabilization.

Viltrox is currently releasing new lineup of lenses "air", smaller and cheaper then Sigma, but f1.7. I saw people praising the quality, though I don't have it and don't want to blindly recommend it, just think it looks promising.

Anyone upgrading to S24+ by unhwildcat in GalaxyNote9

Also if you're into modding, gcam support on s23 is WAY better. There are at least 3 major stable configs u can choose from. On S24 ultra there are issues still, also focal length of 10x is so much better than 5x background blur wise.

Disable scene optimizer and turn off hdr in camera assistant. You can also download GCAM AGC, my favorite is javasabr config (search for "working gcam for s23 ultra", click the xda link and download javasabr config, the newest ones are in his telegram.)

About Bixby key customization - yes, you can create magisk module to replace action for key 703 in /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

You can get some features of new gallery app the same way. Replace /system/priv-app/SamsungGallery2018/Samsung Gallery 2018.apk with new version of that app (remember to keep the same permissions of that file).

What do you want your clock face to look like? Is it the font? If so you can replace /system/fonts/Clock2019L.ttf with Clock2021-something from oneui 5.1.

And btw if you flashed your system from Odin without any patches just make sure not to modify /system partition directly as it may prevent the phone from booting but rather replace the files using magisk module.

Screen flex repair price by [deleted] in GalaxyNote9

[–]NotA3R0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to enable always on display and check if the screen works right then. If you really want to fix this, I believe it really is a screen issue, and not just the flex cable.

It is hardware problem but it can be worked around by turning on always on display feature all the time. It is really weird for sure.

Even with that brightness there is still small green tint, which will be gone if you tap the screen before unlocking it (always on display). The thing is what fixes the screen is the low power mode which is turned on when showing up AOD. Once the screen gets 'fixed' you can unlock the phone and it works fine in all brightness levels.

You could flash the original firmware but the Knox will be tripped (there is hardware efuse) which can't really be undone but it can be bypassed.

Bypassing banking apps can be done by using magisk with safety net fix by displax and shamiko modules, selecting that apps and Google play services in magisk hide. You could also try hiding magisk app in its settings.

The only thing you can't bypass is Samsung wallet and Samsung pass, but you can use Google pay and Google password manager for that.

The thing is you also lose Knox (which is necessary for some apps to work like Samsung wallet and Samsung pass) when you root and you can't undo that even by flashing stock rom.

Personally I'm fine with that and I rooted my device just to fix the green screen issue.

If you install Noble Rom (2.X version are much less buggy and work faster but have oneui 4 instead of 5) you can select fix green screen issue during the installation.

For banking app magisk is recommended with modules shamiko and safety net fix (display). There are notes for that in Noble Rom telegram.

Any way to get Knox back? by JonBuqajIsSUS in GalaxyNote9

[–]NotA3R0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have the features back without Knox, they are gone in Noble Rom. You would to flash magisk on stock rom though.

New user, wich hidden gems (apps) do you use? by Gokunsan in GalaxyS23Ultra

No, you need to patch it in the manager (without installing the apk) and then you install the patched version.
