and if you can turn this rom percent of the battery on the lock screen?

Hahaha, please... If I have to ask, it's only because I didn't find the discussion very reassuring, and I didn't want to walk away from the ROM with a negative impression. Don't be a snobbish prick, I'm keeping my OP3, I've done my share to help and inform people, more than you I'm sure

Been having a problem since nightly 03.08... Continuous shot in camera results in fc... In 06.08 the same.. Running with elementalX...

Anyone has problem too?

Although finally gallery doesn't crash anymore and I don't need to edit build.prop. Thanks devs.

[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
Didn't really like auto brightness from the beginning. Sometimes to dark, sometimes to bright. But it also happend on OOS

Touch to focus is broken in snap. Put your finger close to the camera, try to focus on it using touch, then try to focus on something in the background. You'll see that the camera decides where to focus and not where you touch. You also can't change focus modes from the menu...

[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] djrion:
Are there ROM specific APNs or are APNs simply decided by carrier? If the former, where might I find one? I already know where the latter is (and adjusting it towards those settings isn't solving my issue).
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
As I remember correctly flar described it that way: the screen is not so bright in a bright environment but almost the same as stock in low light. Works good for me.

[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] t2jbird:

I have a AP with channel 13 in 2.4g. Before I flash CM13, my Oneplus 3 can connect to the AP. However, after I flashed CM13, the wifi cannot see my AP. Is there and restriction in CM13 to connect channel 13 which is legal in my country? If so how to unlock it?

Thanks in advance.

[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kuldeeps48:
So I upgraded from OOS to today's nightly (06 Aug). Everything's better on CM once its all set up. Definitely can be used as a daily driver. The only issue left are camera and maybe SRGb mode.

I took some shots today with CMs camera. Stock camera is still better. You can decide from the sample if cm camera is good enough for now.

Overall, definitely worth the change from OOS.

After few hours I changed the kernel to Elementalx 0.17 and its even better than before! No micro lags. All ****ing smooth. Benchmarked 155k+

PS: Battery life has noticeably improved.

Hello guys. I just wiped everything and flashed the last build but I still don't have the snap app. (camera)

Do you know why?

Another issue I have that I posted earlier in another section.

I don't have the data logo (3g or lte) next to my signal strength. But still Internet is working.

Any ideas?

I just installed the 'micro' gapps and it did not overwrite the cm snap camera.
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
Yes pico or nano, depends on what you need. There is no right or wrong.

I saw your question but did not get what you actually mean. If you have no data connection you might need to change your APN settings. You get the apn settings from your carrier. Most carriers have a service where you can send along a SMS and then they'll send you a MMS with all the settings included, or just type them in manually.

[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] irishboy:
No actually the connection is working perfectly. The APNs are correct. It's just the icons that are missing.

Wipe system, dalvik and cache. Flash the Rom and gapps again.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

This was actually an issue in a previous nightly but should be fixed now. Are you sure that you wiped system before flashing latest nightly?

I wiped everything and made a clean install. And it is still not working. I'm on roaming. Could it possibly change anything ?
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
Yes when you're on roaming it only shows R, that's normal.

Is it local roaming? You can make a request the devs. I'm also on local roaming and have no R symbol(O2 Germany/E-Plus).
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ritchiedrama:
I did ask this earlier but you're sort of the go to guy so if you don't mind..

Is the latest build good? I'm still using 0802 as it seemed better than one I updated to a day later but obviously were further on now.

And; should I download the zip and then flash it manually or is it OK to do it through the updater on the phone and let it do its thing?

And in the event I want to flash back to 0802 would I just boot twrp and install the old zip again? Or?

And would I need to wipe any cache/data/dalvik or is that not nessecary? Thanks man
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
Yes, latest build is the best so far.

Through the updater and flashing manually will be the same result, because all the updater does is starting the recovery with the command to flash the zip.

If you want to revert, you should wipe system, dalvik and cache first, because files from the newer build could maybe remain.

If you wipe cache/data/dalvik, all your data is gone. You can wipe system, dalvik and cache. That's always fine, the difference is that you start from a clean partition and don't just flash dirty over the old system files.
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ritchiedrama:
So would it not make sense to wipe data cache and dalvik after installing a new build too? Incase something from the old build that was a bug is still there?
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
It does not matter if you wipe dalvik and cache before or after flashing. The cache partition keeps the cached files of all your apps and dalvik keeps a "tree" or something like a library of all your apps. This is why you see the "updating apps" screen after flashing, the sytem is actually recreating this file tree.
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] irishboy:
That is actually weird. Because I just changed the rom. I was on the stock one before and the logo was there despite the fact I was on roaming. Is it a cm specificity ?

Anyway thank you all for your help.
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ritchiedrama:
Okay so basically just install the updates and that's it. But the only thing is if I want to revert back wipe cache, system, data, dalvik?

That's the part that's confusing me because what part of the phone is holding my launcher and apps internal storage or data? So yeah what I'm asking is if I revert back what do I wipe BEFORE I flash the old zip lol and do I need to wipe anything AFTER the zips flashed(old one) sorry for all the questions just hate doingn stuff if I don't fully know why/understand how to do it properly lol
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerrit507:
1. wipe system before flashing(optional, when updating. you should do it when you're reverting) This is where usually all things are copied to, when you flash. wiping it after flashing, will delete it, which does NOT make a lot of sense.

2. dalvik and cache before or after does not matter(optional, when updating and reverting)

3. data holds your app data, wiping this will delete all the apps you installed including their data(!)(optional, when updating and reverting)

Internal Storage keeps all your files, this is usually everything you see when you're not root. You'll never need to wipe this, even when switching to another rom.

When you switch to a completely different rom you need to wipe system, data, dalvik and cache. It might work sometimes to leave data, for example on my P8000 I could switch between CM and RR without issues, but I tried it today on the OP3 and it did not boot without data wipe.
[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Planet X:
The roomservice you could make up from the OP. I have already made a build myself. But latest build is not as stable than the one from the 19th. Especially bluetooth is a problem. It loses connection after a while and my car doesn't want to make a connection automatically. In the build of the 19th this problem doesn't exist.

Can't wait! Looking forward to ditching OOS. The camera experience on OOS 3.1.3 is horrible so far. Taking pictures makes my whole system unstable and causes lag and eventually leads to a soft reboot.
