Torch on/off with power button works great for my shamu with the screen off.

One handed mode was discussed yesterday.

[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
[MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] can weigh in too, but here's some rationale why the requested features aren't in there already.

1. Quick PIN unlock subverts security and a bug with the common implementation can lock users out of device when long PW or PIN set. Use Pattern if you need quicker. And, it's not a quick face unlock but Settings>Security>Smartlock>Trusted Face is there for you to use already.

2. This has already been "Noped". It just came up again a page or 2 back.

hello guys where i can find the lastes ABCrom 8.1.0 for my nexus 5x ty.. :) any link?
[Android Builders Collective] :

That's the link ;) (but next time use forum search function and type "bullhead").

With the latest test build of ABC for taimen i have VoLTE & VoWiFi up and running.

If there is interest, you can download the test build from here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569963663

Update procedure:

1. reboot to twrp (backup optional)

2. wipe dalvik cache only

3. flash ABCrom AND twrp.zip

4. reboot to system once

5. flash custom kernel and Magisk

6. enjoy ABC

Afterwards you have to install this Magisk Module:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-v4-volte-enabler-t3649613

or edit your build.prop.

Activate VoLTE in your settings. Of course your provider must support volte.

Then it should look like this...
[Android Builders Collective] kantjer:
Besides the Magisk module did you add/change something in the ROM source? I have the module installed on Angler but never got VoLTE working, my carrier supports it. I even changed the Sim card last week but still no luck.
[Android Builders Collective] davall:
I think it should work out of the box on taimen!?

I have booked the free volte option to my telekom account and installed the Magisk Module and voila :)

My last change was the addition of IMS to the device/google/taimen tree to device.mk:

+# IMS

+PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \

+ com.android.ims.rcsmanager \

+ RcsService \

+ PresencePolling

Not my scope, but interessting:

[Android Builders Collective] ffejy462:
VoLTE is working on Verizon on Angler without a module or altering rom.... I usually have to select lte/cdma instead of global if data drops during a call.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
I just want to say how awesome the abc ROM is and a big thanks to the developers for providing this and for taking the time to answer questions in the forums and stuff. Coming from PN nougat to this ROM is not only a better software experience but it feels like a hardware upgrade, it's so buttery smooth.
[Android Builders Collective] mikal75:
Same here. Thanks guys for this amazing ROM (Nexus 6p owner)

Quick question:

The ROMs phone app does not support picture in picture ?

Coming from stock 8.1 , this is the only thing I'm missing.

I don't see an option in app's permissions.

Should I download the Google's phone app from play store to have pip?

Many thanks again
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Google haven't merged PiP yet into aosp dialer. But honestly i can't find it useful considering you can go to home screen while in call and use the dialer notification to manage the call.

Btw you can install and use Google Dialer (remember to set it as default Phone app then) but will lose abc dialer custom features (e.g. auto proximity speakerphone and in-call vibration).
[Android Builders Collective] criza:
Thank you as well for this great ROM!

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the fingerprint reader vibration (Nexus 5X) without an additional app?
[Android Builders Collective] Curiousn00b:
What's this VoLTE talk?

On my Angler, it's always showed up for me without any edits on T-Mobile, or is it only with some carriers that it doesn't work?

(Yes. I run Xposed and l that hated stuff. ?)
[Android Builders Collective] Bobbaloo:
You can allow the Google phone app to draw on top of other apps. This will give a floating bubble which I have been using for a while. It's fun. Don't know if it's useful or not but probably just the same as a pic in a pic would be...?
[Android Builders Collective] mikal75:
There was a bubble appeared in the screen when in a phone call and press the home button.

Although I have this permission (display over other apps - I cannot see draw over other apps) set to allow I don't have the bubble effect.

Do you use the AOSP phone app (that comes with the recommended gapps) or the one from the play store?

Thanx
[Android Builders Collective] samteeee:
That is great news bro, downloading now & will report back.

I'm on Rogers Wireless, Canada.
[Android Builders Collective] Bobbaloo:
I think I updated it a while ago. I'm on angler. ABC. Flashed ezio gapps. Google phone is version 17.0.1.186697879.
[Android Builders Collective] Bobbaloo:
SS for u.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
At least on 6p i don't plan to add it.
[Android Builders Collective] mikal75:
Yeap - that's the phone app from play store.

I used this one as phone app and now the bubble is working!

To be honest I cannot tell the difference between the Google phone app and the AOSP one. Maybe there are more features on the AOSP that I don't use

Thanks
[Android Builders Collective] Bobbaloo:
For me, I like Google's spam detection and blocked number management.
[Android Builders Collective] samteeee:
Just wanted to report back that after flashing stock and flashing ABC,

the device reports the "Corrupt" message and gets stuck at logo!
[Android Builders Collective] ktmom:
Maybe this earlier post in this thread will help you.

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
Yeah, regarding two previous posts, my understanding is that this phone treats custom roms like otas. It'll flash them to the inactive slot. If you're on slot A & flash current image then rom, it's going to flash the rom to B. I think it's best to flash stock build/image to both slots before flashing rom. Though different people have had had success with different steps, so I don't know.

Just keep trying. This phone sucks for flashing stuff.
[Android Builders Collective] law16:
Speaking of phone app.. I remember there use to be a setting to block unknown numbers or blocked/private incoming calls . Does anyone know what happen to this feature ?
[Android Builders Collective] samteeee:
I agree, it seems that everyone has a different experience.

I ended up flashing the "ABC_avbctl_disable.zip" to get rid of

the "Corrupt Device" message! and also had to "Reset Device"

in TWRP and finally got it to boot to android and now everything

but "Modem services" is working!
[Android Builders Collective] Bobbaloo:
A free app used in conjunction with phone. Play store. Name: Hiya. You can block numbers in multiple ways. ie: with the first 4 digits, it's pretty cool
[Android Builders Collective] davall:
What is modem services used for? I got a "ModemService" stopped and therefore deleted it for the last build, cause i didin't have to freeze it.

In build ABC_ROM_taimen-8.1.0-20180316.zip ModemService is included ;)
[Android Builders Collective] law16:
Thank you for your recommendation

I have come across hiya in the past but only used it for a short period of time. The function I used previously was an actual setting within the stock phone app.
[Android Builders Collective] drugo732:
on Nexus 5x I changed the default app for the phone on that aosp, but now I have duplicate contacts! In the column instead they are single! Because? Thank you
[Android Builders Collective] samteeee:
I was gonna ask you, lol!

BTW, I'm on the last build, Mar 21.
[Android Builders Collective] franatic08:
Just looking for confirmation that latest ABC (Shamu) can't disable the brightness slider in the QS panel.

BTW, very smooth ROM!!

Great stuff.
[Android Builders Collective] alryder:
Yes, this used to be a feature in the Google Phone app but it disappeared a while ago .I wish they would add it back as it was really useful.
[Android Builders Collective] soosoolhastam:
Bug report - I can't remove the battery percentage from the upper right in status bar when on lockscreen. I had to change battery icons multiple times to remove it after unlocking the device. But it just returns when I chose the battery icon to be portrait.

I was able to partly fix it with gravitybox. Placing keyguard mode to hidden.

[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
That's an intended behavior, once you hide the battery level from the statusbar it's good to still have it in the qs panel and lockscreen. I've made it on purpose because it's just useful and don't plan to change it, at least not for the qs panel (will think about lockscreen).

The lockscreen one though is missing a bit of padding when using the hidden mode, didn't notice before your post. Will be improved for next builds :good:

[Android Builders Collective] BitterBuffaloh:
Thank you. Installed and the ROM is flying with speed, very snappy. Is there anyway to theme this ROM dark? I've run my usual substratum theme for Oreo, but it's getting an error and isn't themeing it dark.

Edit: Nevermind was able to figure out my problem, thanks :)

Thanks for the update!
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
I already told you what i think about center clock, there's no need to keep asking.

If you have substratum themes it's always better to restore stock theme, flash, rebuild and apply subs theme again.
[Android Builders Collective] mikal75:
Is there any change we have one handed mode?

I know there is a developer statement that it won't support it. May I ask why?

Is it so difficult. Why it was"trivial" in 7.1 ?

Thanks guys

I really enjoy this ROM - great performance and battery life

[Android Builders Collective] Bobbaloo:

[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
Expanded desktop was never there in ABC, has been shot down many times (search thread). Use rascarlo Tiles app for Immersive Mode if you need it.

Clear all button requests have been shot down many times too (search thread). You can pinch with 2 fingers to close all apps, or scroll to the top and use the stock Close All Apps button.
[Android Builders Collective] greenmasser:
I would like to add I have used both ABC and Beltz on my Shamu, they are awesome as is and need nothing. I would guess most of us are here because we like a smooth simple ROM not weighed down with bloat.

[Android Builders Collective] Inzayn:
I see. No biggie. I actually am not a fan of the slim recents and punching to close all apps as this requires the use of 2 hands and i usually hold my phone with one. In my case its just not a ergonomic for me. Thats just my opinion anyways. There is a clear all button on stock recent but requires you to scroll to the very top to clear all which i dont mind doing. Great rom nonetheless. I usually just use expanded mode on launcher so thats no biggie as well.

My fast update procedure:

1. wipe dalvik cache only

2. flash ABCrom.zip AND twrp.zip

3. switch slot via twrp

4. reboot to twrp

5. flash custom-kernel.zip AND twrp.zip

6. reboot to system and enjoy ABC

7. flash Magisk afterwards if you want root
[Android Builders Collective] gothy.gothy:
Hi there,

Is there any Beltz update as well for Shamu?

Thank you
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
A simple search for Beltz shows it last updated on 3/14 with March security updates in the changelog. Beltz is not on the ABC release schedule. It's a different ROM. Do not expect a parallel Beltz release for every ABC release.
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
This process worked perfectly, thank you!
[Android Builders Collective] dlbarron:
What can I say but WOW! This ROM is nearly perfect, in my opinion. I installed on my N6 last night and I've been playing with it ever since.

I am a huge fan of bare minimum ROMs and this is about as bare minimum as you can get. No camera app, no gallery app, no email app, not even an sms app. Fantastic work.

Now, my explanation of why it is only nearly perfect. The Equalizer app. I cannot understand why a ROM that comes without an SMS app would have an equalizer app, and one that not only can't be uninstalled but can't be disabled? I don't ever listen to music or record anything on my phone, so an equalizer is pretty much useless to me. If I could get rid of it, this ROM would be perfect. At least to me.

Now, here's a question that I hope someone can answer for me. While setting things up I install the Wear OS app, because I have an android wear watch. The Wear OS app requires that the Google app be installed. I'm not sure what else to call it, if you go to the Play Store and search for Google it's the first one shown in the list. It displays news and topics you want to follow. Anyway, in every other ROM the Google app has shown an icon in the app drawer, but in this ROM I don't see it. Very strange. There is probably a setting somewhere but I can't find it. Anyone have any suggestions?

And another question. How do we know when a new ROM is available for download? Do we subscribe to this topic or is there another mechanism?

Thanks very much for this great ROM.
[Android Builders Collective] Roger.T:

[Android Builders Collective] synesthete:
The ROM doesn't package apps like Messenger (SMS), Camera, etc, because AOSP-based ROMS are usually meant to be paired with a Gapps/Google-Apps flashable zip. You certainly have the choice of installing your own alternatives to the Google Apps, but since different people have different preferences in which [or how many] Google Apps they want installed, it makes sense to leave them out.

You can easily "Freeze"/Disable or Uninstall the app with something like Titanium Backup. You should also be able to use a root-enabled file explorer app like FX Explorer or Solid Explorer to just delete the folder "/system/app/MusicFX". I don't know if that will cause any bugs or errors though. You could always just move the folder somewhere else as a backup and then copy it back (and verify that it has correct permissions) if you have any problems.

I don't know what would cause this. Sometimes it takes a minute for app icons to appear in the drawer. Some Launchers (like Nova) let you force a refresh by restarting the launcher. Maybe a reboot might help. What launcher are you using? You can check to see if the Google app is actually installed be going to Settings>Apps & Notifications>See All Apps then scroll down to find the app titled "Google".

I just stay subscribed to this thread and keep an eye out for posts by the developers that build for my device (Nexus 5x). I know that there is a bot you can subscribe to on Telegram to be notified of new Angler builds, but I am not sure if any of the other devices have something similar.
[Android Builders Collective] dlbarron:
Believe me, I was not complainin about the lack of apps, I was applauding. And I know about Titanium and all the other ways to remove unwanted apps. The problem with doing it that way is as soon as you upgrade the ROM the removed apps come back. I was wondering about the logic of having an equalizer app at all? Why is it necessary and why can't it at least be disabled? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

The Launcher is what hides the google app icon, but I can still get to it by scrolling right from the home screen, so the result is the same.
[Android Builders Collective] frov:
Webview crashes

I would like to indicate I still get quite some webview crashes: is this something of this ROM, or is it plain Android that is the cause?

I always install the last webview from playstore and also test using the latest chrome (and adjusting settings in developer options).

I use this app a lot, Locus Pro, for geocaching, and it crashes very regularly. Anyone to help, anything I can do? Thanks!

BTW, running the Bullhead ROM from Jan '18.
[Android Builders Collective] rp158:
Some guys here invest many hours to give us regularly updates and you call it a problem to delete, hide or simply forget one little system-app? Strange.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
You should update to the newest build and see if that helps. It's Locus Pro only that crashes the webview? Sounds like an issue with Locus Pro maybe?

IIRC ABC uses Chrome as the default webview app. Updating Android Webview is not doing anything for you, unless you've switching to it manually in Dev Settings.
[Android Builders Collective] dlbarron:
No, don't misunderstand. I'm saying that removing an unwanted app using Titanium or some other tool isn't permanent because it comes back after upgrading.

I'm not trying to reduce the magnitude of what the builders do here. Having tried it myself I know how hard it can be.

I'm also wondering why an equalizer should be considered a system app.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
The ABC Equalizer puts a forward facing gui in front of the default native equalizer, MusicFX, that is already there in AOSP and every other ROM, but usually unseen until you go to an equalizer setting in an app that leverages it. It's a very nice addition to the ROM. If you don't like it, that's your right. Freeze it at your own risk. And IIRC TiBu frozen apps persist updates so you'll likely save yourself the 5 seconds that you're worried about spending next update anyway.
[Android Builders Collective] ktmom:
Because the developers want it there.

These ROMs are not built for us. They are shared with us. There's a BIG difference.

[MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] doesn't (to my best knowledge) even use ABC for shamu, but builds it as a convenience for those of us who like it.

If you're missing the Google app, then install an open gapps package that contains it. I use nano. If there are apps you don't want, then research how to use a script to control which apps are installed from an open gapps package.
