I flashed in the same sequence I flashed the ROM and Gapps (immediately after flashing Gapps). No issues whatsoever. Good to know that a workaround did the trick for you, though.
[Android Builders Collective] Curiousn00b:
Odd... I've never thought about it being a kernel thing. For the longest time, I used an old 4.x version of CameraNX. I prefer apps like that to be a system app and was always greeted with a force close on the newer ones. I never paid any attention to the kernel I used.

At one point, I couldn't get CameraNX to stop force closing unless Google Camera was present. I've since gotten better at creating flashable zips, and CameraNX seems to be working flawlessly as a system app now. [emoji41]

On a side note... Tapatalk won't let me upload anything, I swear. [emoji23][emoji24]
[Android Builders Collective] davall:
No probs with latest angler ABC, SuperUber 2.23/2.24 and Camera NX 7.3.1 ZSL enhanced.
[Android Builders Collective] CYoung234:
Thanks for checking. It could certainly be a problem with the combination I am running. I downloaded the latest ABC and may give it a go later today.

For Beltz Shamu users, is anyone dirty flashing the updates? I got several error messages when i dirty flashed from Nov to a Dec update. No doubt this is the best and most stable rom I've come across but if i can get away with dirty flashing, I would like to.
[Android Builders Collective] setiawanjimmy:
Did you flashed gapps when you dirty flashed?

Beltz doesn't have backup script and i never dirty flashing. So if you wanna try, backup first.

Wipe system, flash ROM+gapps+(if you want to) root
[Android Builders Collective] AccuNeal:
[MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for your dedication to building Beltz ROM for us. It is rock solid on both of my N6s. One is dirty flashed, and the other is always a clean flash.

[MENTION=5490496]raajivsh999[/MENTION]

Yesterday, on the dirty flash N6 (ROM+Opengapps-nano+Magisk without wiping data) I had the first ever reboot during a phone call with the stock dialer. I was stunned, and therefore, do not recall if I was reading xda or G+ at the time the call came in.

Dirty flashing is easier than "fresh and clean", but it's well worth the extra effort to wipe data, setup and wait for Google's app/data restore to download. Especially now that the home screen layout is preserved.
[Android Builders Collective] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=7965201]heisenbergfromIN[/MENTION]: Are you encrypted? I don't know if being encrypted would make a difference here, but if you're not, that could explain the issue. On the other hand it could simply be a glitch.
[Android Builders Collective] ktmom:
[MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION] [MENTION=7965201]heisenbergfromIN[/MENTION]

So dirty flashing Beltz didn't work for me either. I am encrypted.

A clean flash with magisk 15.2 in the queue also gave me trouble.

Going old school with multiple sequential wipes before flashing but still having Magisk 15.2 in the queue had trouble. But with magisk 14.0 did work.

What has now repeatedly worked for Magisk 15.2 is going old school with multiple sequential wipes, booting and doing the initial set-up and then installing Magisk 15.2. Makes no sense to me but whatever [emoji6]

It's certainly not the ROM which is great! Maybe I have an engineering device [emoji12]

[Android Builders Collective] imarq24:
Only thing I can say or think of at the moment is to switch to magisk ...I made the switch awhile ago and like it a hole lot better

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Android Builders Collective] raajivsh999:
Not the beta. Got 2.82 from the website. Flashed twice. No difference.

Tried Beta and that didn't work either.
[Android Builders Collective] heisenbergfromIN:
Yes, I am.
[Android Builders Collective] Animesh_Bajpai:
Are there any ROMs for Panasonic p75
[Android Builders Collective] ktmom:
There can be a difference between Adaway not seeing root and not being rooted.

Did you save the log from flashing SuperSu? I'm assuming you're using TWRP. You would need to save the log prior to booting after flashing. Is the TWRP the newest release (3.2.1-0)? Is the SuperSu app installed? Is suhide installed? That app can be accidentally enabled.

If you try flashing again, you probably need to at least dirty flash the ROM so the boot img is back to original. I would also fully boot into the ROM before returning to recovery and attempting to flash SuperSu.

The supersu beta thread is a good source for assistance.

Hi. Does it include January security patch?
[Android Builders Collective] Josh:
Yes.Look in the vendor file and you will find the answer when you compares factory image file name and vendor.
[Android Builders Collective] BesoC:
Thanks for fast answer :) Can you please give links to latest bootloader and radio (if needed)?

As i understand clean flash goes like

1. TWRP

2. Vendor, bootloader, radio, etc

3. ROM

4. GApps - not Open but Beans ?

5. Magisk 15.2, as SuperSUu has some issues with this ROM?

is it correct?

Many thanks in advance
[Android Builders Collective] pkelly517:
It's an issue with the January security patch and SuperSU.

Not a ROM issue.
[Android Builders Collective] Josh:
That's correct ? radio is same like December, bootloader is new and vendor you flash from TWRP.
[Android Builders Collective] BesoC:
Hi. Sorry for so many questions, last ones:

1. I have found bootloader - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75063197&postcount=20015 -is it the last one?

2. I was unable to find radio. can you please drop a link?

3. Looks like Enzio's gapps are the best to use for Nexus 5x. Can you please advise?

Many thanks for your help
[Android Builders Collective] frov:
Or what I normally do, straight from bootloader:

- Boot into bootloader

# fastboot devices (here you check whether the device is properly connected)

# fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz31b (for the N5X)

# fastboot reboot bootloader

# fastboot flash vendor OPM3.171019.013 (for N5X)

- use the buttons to boot into recovery

- flash the rom from TWRP

- plus flash from TWRP whatever more you fancy (like GAPPS, SuperSU or Magisk)

I (dirty) flashed my own N5P and today clean flashed my wife's N6P to the Jan'18 ABC ROMS and all works just fine.

Oh, one thing: I ran into the No-SIM issue on the N6P: I happily used the info that [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] points at in post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74544849&postcount=19216

So I moved back from fingerprint to swipe, plus reboot, and then the SIM was recognized again.

Did not move back to fingerprint yet (my wife won't yet allow me :fingers-crossed: ).

And I used the Delta GAPPS as I usually do:

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368

SuperSU works, but invisible; root is just granted. No tool to manage or popup. Next time I will try Magisk.

EDIT: changed the examples flashboot commands from N6P to N5X filenames (as I have them).

EDIT2: corrected command fastboot flash bootloader (tnx [MENTION=887891]ttakacs[/MENTION])
[Android Builders Collective] ttakacs:
I believe the command should be:

# fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz31b (for the N5X)

Thanks for the post, very helpful refresher!
[Android Builders Collective] frov:
Ah, is that the reason I get some app crashes! Good I did some reading in this forum ;) .

I use Locus Pro for geocaching and in the ABC ROM for N5X I got some occasional app crashes; once a day or so.

So I took the logcat and reported it to the guys from the Locus Pro app: (the logcat is also there):

http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/locus-crash_1

Around line 7749 the app crashes.

They reported back that they could not help me, as it is likely Android / webview.

I am one of those guys that does not like the bulky Chrome at all, so I use alternative browsers (like Lightning or Dolphin) and always nicely install the latest webview from appstore.

I just checked the N5X and indeed the latest webview is configured in N5X/Settings/System/Dev/Webview Impl: Android System Webview 63.0.3239.111.

So I reckon there is a bug somewhere on something. When crashes start to nag me, I will make the bold step as to install Chrome and see whether 'the issue disappears'.

For the rest: thanks for the ABC ROM (N5X and N6P) (I just come from Pure Nexus which is a bit silent atm).

Perhaps i should install some other GApps? or reboot phone after magisk installation and then flash kernel? any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks
[Android Builders Collective] Josh:
Stock kernel works well and try with Beans Gapps by Ezio84 . Try start from beginning. Wipe everything except internal storage then flash ROM,Gapps ,Magisk . Reboot. That method works well for me.:good:
[Android Builders Collective] frov:
I have this combi installed on my N5X:

ABC ROM Jan'18

Delta Gapps for 8.1

SuperSU SR5

Could clean all and try that.

And/Or do it step by step: first ROM only and boot / add Gapps and boot / add SuperSU or Magisk and boot

BTW, I now wonder whether flashing an alternative kernel after Magisk is the best thing to do: skip the kernel for now.

Or go all the way for the set that the ABC devs offer, including the Gapps they propose.

It is all about the combination and the order ;)

Edit: today I clean flashed my wife's N6P from PN to ABC and used Delta Gapps,; combi I used there is the same: ROM+DeltaGapps+SuperSU.

Really? I have Magisk 15.2 working flawlessly on my device. I also find using anything but the stock ABC kernel impacts either battery or performance too much.

I seem to have noticed that as well. Going to do abfew more days of testing before I confirm it, but when EX kernel released WireGuard support, I decided to give it a shot. It does seem like my battery is going a tad bit faster, but I'll check the screen on time later.

[MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] Will one handed mode make a return or is that up to Huawei?

[Android Builders Collective] Curiousn00b:
Can't believe I forgot to describe it, smh. ?*♂️

I know the fingerprint reader isn't going bad on my device since unlocking the device works perfectly fine and is still fast.

Unlocking and swiping, it works fine, but sometimes it just seems to not swipe while unlocked but it will vibrate as if I'm unlocking the device again. If I keep swiping and catch it at the same time that it vibrates, it'll swipe, but still have the issue

Relocking the device seems to fix it sometimes. Hopefully it's just an issue from dirty flashing.

Hi all

Recently I decided to upgrade my Nexus 5X from Nougat and found that there is not big choice of Oreo 8.1 custom ROMs. After spending several hours searching for good quality ROM, compatible GApps, root and custom kernel, experimenting with their inter-compatibilty, I decided to make mini-guide with links. Hopefully it will save someone's time and nerves :)

1. Download latest factory Nexus 5X image. Extract and flash bootloader, radio and vendor images. Thanks to [MENTION=3675481]miksontije[/MENTION]

2. Flash latest ABC ROM for Bullhead. At the moment it's ABCrom_bullhead-8.1.0-20180103. Thanks to [MENTION=7157050]mohican16[/MENTION]

3. Flash BeansGappsMini-arm64-8.1.x-unofficial_December.zip. It's for Angler, but runs well on Bullhead too. Thanks to [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION]

4. Flash latest Magisk. Thanks to [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION]

5. Optional - custom kernel. Provided kernel is good enough, however my choice is ElementalX-N5X with Heimdall_5X_v4. Thanks to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

6. Optional (a must) - XPosed for Oreo 8.1!. Thanks to [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]

From my experience this ROM is smooth, fast and battery-friendly. Many thanks and cudos to [MENTION=7157050]mohican16[/MENTION], [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] and all gurus that made it possible.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Ye i noticed that sometimes when device was unlocked and screen was on the system kept the fingerprint authentication still working and vibrating.

That's why yesterday i switched the source to a different aosp tag (r7 instead of r4), atm it seems fixed (maybe there are some hardware libs differences between tags).

EDIT: issue fixed, it was due to a recent screenshot commit :P
[Android Builders Collective] Skittles9823:
In my personal opinion everything else you've listed is fine (even if I've turned into an avid believer that stock kernel = best kernel). Except for xposed. It's not really needed on Oreo to be fair and especially not on custom roms. All it does on custom roms is pump out bugs that people report in the rom threads lol.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Xposed is an awesome tool but for stock rom. On custom builds it's pretty no sense, there are too many differences from stock rom on which xposed modules are based.

Anyone reporting issues here with xposed installed will get BA Baracus knocking on the door :D
[Android Builders Collective] JaylanPHNX:
I pity the fool!
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
Lol. Yep, it's right up there with "what's the best ROM". Oh wait, that would be ABC. :cool:

[Android Builders Collective] BesoC:
I would agree that a person using xposed should have understanding what he's doing. Blind installation of modules could lead to bugs and even bootloops. However, in right hands xposed is extremely useful on every Andriod, be it Kitkat or Oreo. For instance - I'm using Amplify, Greenify, MinMinGuard and XInstaller on ABC rom without a single issue, battery life is better, ads are gone, etc

Asking "what's the best kernel or ROM" is the same as asking what's the best car to drive to the supermarket. How do I know. I have no idea how far from the supermarket you live, hiw often do you shop, how is the road, how many do buy on average, do you bring the kids and a dog etc.
