[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Nobody would ever try to mod bootloader graphics. Modding requires trial & error.

But with bootloader modding, you can't afford an error even a small one like size different in kb .. you'll get hard brick and require motherboard replacement.

This is the same as the Sunshine app developer developing the S-Off method .. a slight error means a hard brick. That is why S-Off come with a price because they bricked a lot of phones before they succeed developing the S-Off tool.

So I don't think anyone willing risk of hard brick with bootloader modding as no one is willing to pay for a black bootloader.

Hello there!

Long time lurker of XDA here - I'd love to enlist the expertise of all you guys here :)

Was terribly impressed when you guys figured out how to unlock bands and thought you guys might be able to help me (or rather everyone in my country using the A3010) out!

So in Singapore, our carriers use bands 3/7/8 (1800/2600/900 mhz). Unfortunately for us, Oneplus does not ship directly to Singapore so we often have to rely on third party parallel importers, and most of their stock is the A3010 one.

So the bands supported by the A3003 and A3010 models are below.

As we found on our local forums, the A3003 is somehow able to get carrier aggregation but not the A3010 and we're all quite puzzled as to why.

One of the theories is that the CA bands (which are not listed on the Oneplus website) are different between the two models.

Perhaps someone here might be able to help?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] otonieru:
all singapore bands are supported by China Model,

you need to know what bands exactly are used by your carrier for CA,

and by saying CA is not working, what kind of method did u use to check it ? since not every ROM can show the difference between using CA or not,

yes, 4G+ is a clear indication that your phone use CA, but again, that's not always a case on every ROM

i would suggest u to run network signal guru while doing speedtest, and see whether your phone utilize the CA or not

in a normal situation, the phone usually wont use CA. It will only use it once there's significant data traffic,

example, the phone might not use CA just for pulling GCM push, but will use it on streaming session,

at least thats what happen in most of phones i used,

my A3000 can use CA with no problem, so does the Mi5, S7 edge, and even the economic Redmi Note 3 can do CA
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] otonieru:
also, each carrier might use different config for CA,

example, my carrier only use CA on band 40, and wont do so on band 5,

you can see my screenshots bellow, my area do not have strong band 40 signal, thus the phone wont be able to use CA, since it only connected to band 5,

but by locking my band to 40 ONLY, and forcing the phone to use it, the CA is easily triggered
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] denogun:
Thanks for your input! As what I understand, everyone who commented were using OOS 3.5.4/3.5.3 so with regards to the ROM I think that was standardized..

For the benefit of everyone going to do the testing, which segment of network signal guru demonstrates the use of CA? The terminology on the app is slightly complex too :)

How to lock OnePlus 3t to one perticular band?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] otonieru:
The first page will show you LTE details, next page (swipe left) will show you LTE CA Matrix, if your phone use CA it will show that it connect to at least 2 carrier(s)

Root the phone, Download Network Signal Guru, Open it, look at the top right, there's three dots menu button, tap it, and choose band locking,

disable all unnecessary or unwanted bands :)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Zegnalabel:
Hope someone with the right knowledge can come around to advise how to make A3010 get 4G+....
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] kayrowl91:
Is your problem solved? I'm also having problem with mi5. No CA on band 3+7. Unfortunately Malaysian telco also using band 3 and 7 for CA.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] override182:
Same problem here on A3010 Maxis Malaysia where it needs B3+B7 to do CA.

A fellow friend has opened a thread, OnePlus bughunters requested for logs but keep on saying issue was not seen through the logs.

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/4g-missing-in-a3010.495892/

Would be great if anyone can advise how to do CA on B3 + B7 in a way of unlocking if it is possible just like how unlocking other bands was performed

Any input here?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Moe5508:
I haven't played around with the glyph/system cache settings. What I have done is play around with the ROM PagePool size setting and I've found that running at 12MB pp turns "most" ROMs into steroid devices. I'm now running the Q-Mobile ROM whose default pp is 12MB and it's nippy...

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
Can vulkan be implemented in Honor 8? I see on ARM's website VULKAN 1.0 is supported in Mali t880 GPUs. So anyone working on it?

http://malideveloper.arm.com/documentation/developer-guides/vulkan/
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
I'm fairly sure that Nougat offers Vulkan api for the honor 8.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
I'm asking this for more than two weeks.... No response...

No Vulkan in B320,only OpenGL ES 3.2,maybe in future versions...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
I've read from a developer's post in QDN that Open GL 3.1+ AES is enough to implement VULKAN.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CronaMell:
Honor 8 can support vulkan
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Coolyou:
How to check if there is a Vulkan?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
I think you should be able to see that in AIDA64-Display.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Coolyou:
Thank you. But it just says OpenGL ES Version. Nothing says Vulkan Version
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CronaMell:
If a device gets official nougat OTA, this means it will support vulkan API
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
Shield tablet is getting VULKAN for Android Marshmallow.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CronaMell:
No, it can get vulkan only through nougat, same for all devices
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Not the case with the shield. They will get Vulcan even in MM. Not every device that gets N is even getting the Vulcan drivers. Even many new devices that get 7.1.1. Are not using the Vulcan drivers as there really isn't anything that will take advantage of it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
VainGlory supports VULKAN. And soon more games releasing on 2017 for Android will have it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Which means nothing if the chip doesn't support it. I have spoken to many game developers and they are thinking it will be a fee years before they bother changing it. This is due to the fact that less then 1% of devices are even gonna have the Vulcan drivers for the next few years and it's just not worth it to them.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
This justifies that VULKAN is kinda useless as of now. :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Pretty much. Heck android is still using single threading but people are all up in the air about more cores as well. People get excited about things because they are told to and they do.

All new tech takes years before it is used by the majority. Just like VR and 4k screens.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
Now I woulder why Samsung released VULKAN as it's of not much use. Sounds like a mistery. :eek:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Not really. Samsung is a hype oem. Nothing more. Look what they did with VR even though the medical field told them not to as it is still not save for anything more then 15 min a week. Or the iris scanner. It's all about hype. It's also part of the reason most devs won't touch a Samsung device if it was the latest and given to them for free.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
Oh yeah, true! :o Thanks for all the information:)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
I was under the impression the UI, web browsing, Play Store/updates/installations all used multi-threading?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CronaMell:
So, even VULKAN won't be available widely and game developers won't support it for now.

Now I see why it isn't something to pay attention for
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
Just an update, it seems B360 brought Vulkan.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
Seems like Honor is adding vulkan api along with Android Nougat update. Saw on a video on YouTube. :laugh:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
Yeah, the beta has it already.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
Could you post something to show that ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
Yep, here's the extension they added for Vulkan. I'm on B360.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
Maybe you are right,when i try to open the app on B131 i get an error saying that i need to have Vulkan API 1.0.3. What showing on AIDA64 at display ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
AIDA64 doesn't show it, but I think it's because they use a database of known GPU's and since we officially don't have it it won't show. Here's a screenshot of the full information from the CapsViewer.

We have version 1.0.11 which is... The oldest version lol.

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/commit/6db51e924115759f9badd40eb91bbcf3240de1fb

Check Capsviewer app to see if you have vulkan. And try any other game like need for speed no limits, HIT, vainglory vulkan.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mirrorman96:
According to devcheck system info, it does support vulkan. Maybe dolphin just doesn't work good with vulkan yet

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
Nougat brought the first release version from early 2016 to the Honor 8. There's been a lot of improvements since then. Guess we'll have to see if Huawei updates it ever. We have around half the extensions needed for fully functional Vulkan.

i thought it's a ROM problem.

so i flashed GearCM 6.0 Custom ROM from stock ROM. But the problem still occur.

Any solution?

oh yea my brother said the power button is kinda broken but i don't mind him at all lol.

i'll check it out. Any tips for fixing it?

thanks before
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Put a towel, or more, on a table and gently hit the phone with the button side against the table. Not too hard, you want to fix the power button, not break the rest of the phone.

If the power button is stuck, this would loosen it up.

But if it's short-circuited, replacing it is the only option.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justreybro:
will try it, i hope the power button just stuck.

Thanks a lot.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Doofitator:
Simple question, really.

Trebuchet was CyanogenMod's default launcher. Is that going to be updated and maintained or will Lineage just use Google Now Launcher or similar?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] SteveYoungs:
The only reason I can think of for LineageOS not continuing to maintain and update Trebuchet would be if Cyanogen Inc had close sourced it. I do not know if that is the case, but it seems unlikely.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] scott8281:
Trebuchet, at least on my device (HTC A9) is a steaming pile of ?that would be better off if It died. It's literally had the same problems since CM 12. As far as I can tell it's been abandoned anyway. It's a lot like Internet explorer in that sense. It's there to work good enough to allow you to install an actual launcher.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] SteveYoungs:
LOL, yeah I use Nova myself.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Doofitator:
Same. I use nova for the customisation. I was just curious as to what would become of trebuchet.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] scott8281:
I haven't heard a clear answer yet but I suspect things like trebuchet, snap or anything else that was CM related might pose a legal danger. I've read quite a bit on it but it's terribly complicated. There's cyanogen OS , cyanogen mod and Android AOSP.

From what I've read cyanogen OS is the only thing cyanogen Inc really owns but I know when the transition first happened several devs pulled apps that had been intergraded with CM. I'm not sure whether they did that because it meant they'd have to surrender there ability to keep the app open source because of cyanogen os or they weren't happy with the deal or what. Perhaps someone else can shed more light on it.

I'm curious to know how many of the tweaks (such as is system settings) and apps (such as trebuchet) are actually licensed under cyanogen Inc. I guess we will soon find out.

Seeing how they shut the server's down early I'm guessing it was a nasty break up and in those deals we might see a level of legal pettiness that might not usually be seen in a more civil breakup. The guy Kondik hired appears to a be a huge douchenozzle.

Even with google now I had issues with getting the hot words to work. I am in the US, but I switched from English (US) to English (XA) and it seems to work now. Though I'm not sure what region XA stands for. I'm going to leave it for a day and switch back to see if it stays working.

++edit++

Even though voice response worked, it appears it convert back to google now from google assistant. Google assistant is still gone after converting back. Hopefully it will activate again soon. So I don't recommend changing the voice region if you already have assistant.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nachod0g:
CyanogenMod was commercialized with the blessing and assistance of Steve Kondik if I understand correctly. During the controversy he affirmed commitment to the community but it's now quite clear that the community and CyanogenMod as a whole suffered greatly from this decision.

Does Steve hold a position of power in the new LineageOS team and if so do we have any reason to believe the same thing won't happen again?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] MJPollard:
Why is this "quite clear"? From what I heard, Kondick was increasingly marginalized by the powers that be at Cyanogen Inc. until he was all but forced out. I don't see where he was much at fault, if at all.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nachod0g:
The CyanogenMod open-source project has now been discontinued as a direct result of actions taken by Cyanogen Inc., this wouldn't have happened if the project was never commercialized. I believe Steve was the project leader of CyanogenMod at the time Cyanogen Inc. was formed and was instrumental in regards to obtaining funding and commercializing the project. He may well have been marginalized but the fact still stands that the CyanogenMod project would likely still be around today if it wasn't for Steve's actions in helping to create Cyanogen Inc.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] squid2:
CyanogenMod wouldn't exist without "cyanogen" (Steve). I don't believe that commercialization itself was a bad idea - there was and still is a demand for outsourcing software development for mobile devices, and Cyanogen provided a tasteful blend of AOSP with useful additions. Corporate mismanagement by Kirt and others derailed the train. Steve never approved of the "bullet through the head" and other nonsense that started coming out, though he was reluctant to speak against his CEO at the time.

Responding to your original post: yes, Steve Kondik is involved with Lineage OS, and he remains the spiritual leader of the community.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nachod0g:
Yes, this much is very clear. I expect it wouldn't exist (at least close to it's current form) without the contributions of many other community members too but I'm not sure there's much to be gained focusing on who contributed what and if commercialization was a good idea, though I do see how my post could invite such a discussion.

My main concern is with regards to what Steve has learned during this time, if he'll seek to commercialize the new project (LinageOS) and what if anything he would do differently to avoid a repeat of the Cyanogen Inc. situation. Thanks for confirming that he is still the spiritual leader of the LinageOS project.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] dev_freak:
