Working pretty solid but not a daily driver. No TWRP or root working. Sound stopped working randomly but resumed working after a reboot.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tluley51:
I am actually using it as my daily. Its working fine, buggy yes, but its functional.

A few things to point out:

As previously stated, Google Play Games does not seem to be working.

Doze definitely is not working. I had my phone off charge overnight and saw about 15% battery drain.

My home button will sometimes not work. Could be a Nova thing??

Overall battery life (minus it not dozing) seems to be better. I know its early, but I am seeing some gains. A normal day for me was about 90% of the day on Wifi, 18 hours off charge and 3 hours SoT. Plug in at like 10% every night. I am sitting at 50% now, 16 hours off charge, 1 hour 45 mins SoT and that was without it dozing overnight.

Curious to see how tomorrow is with battery life. I will charge it to 100% tonight like I usually would and roll with it tomorrow and report back.

If noone can boot to TWRP how were you able to get back to PN once on O?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Kimbaroth:
N stock > TWRP > PN
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ragzz03:
which wipes everything even SD correct??
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] pahlerc1:
you will have to fastboot flash back to 7.1.1 and start over all over from scratch.. not a big deal for people who like to test things every now n then :)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ragzz03:
:good: just wanted to be clear I understood what it took to go back before I go forward with this. thanks
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] pahlerc1:
You're welcome.. One of the huge reasons why I love having a "google" phone, whether its a Nexus or a Pixel.. bootloader isn't locked down & if you mess something up, you can always fastboot flash back to stock firmware
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
So i figured out what my problem was i had to open the "flash-all.sh" with a text editor and add ./ to all the fast boot commands so it could work with my Mac.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] peter nde63h:
I still receive the 7.1.2 beta 2 update. I joined the beta program. my pixel is running android o. I know I should not install that "update". my concern is: would it automatically install some day even if I never tap the install button?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] pahlerc1:
just go un-enroll from the beta program and that'll fix it.. as long as you know how to use fastboot, you'll be good to go
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] peter nde63h:
ok thank you..^^
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Simer03:
If you delete the "-w-" part at the end of the flash all file by editing with notepad for example, save it and run it, it won't wipe your phone. But u might want to let it wipe if going to a new update however it doesn't look like it's a completely new base but just to be safe, might as well let it wipe the phone! I'm gonna flash this tonight.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] peter nde63h:
I recommend wiping the phone for major system update.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] peter nde63h:
another method is copying the content of the developer tools to the rom image folder.

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

just curious: if I had messed up the system before I unlocked the bootloader, is there any method to unlock it even if I can't boot the device into safe mode?

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

usb file transfer doesn't work. the usb option indicated I am not connected even if I actually connected (original cable, 100% works for charging and flashing).
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] udahy.manna:
Hi guys , I just installed the Android O yesterday and I see few issues like USB file transfer , Google play games login..

So I want to revert to Android N ,Pure Nexus..

And I'm just a noob , so can someone please help me with the instructions to do that?

Thank you
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
How did you install O?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] udahy.manna:
Unlocked BL and fastboot flashed bootloader ,radio and update.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
You can roll back by following the same steps you followed to install Android O to install Android n
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] prottoman:
I can't install becouse i have bootloader locked and verizon dosn't allow me to unlock it. :(
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] HiddenSanctum:
Was anybody able to test the LDAC and AptX support in Android O? Anyone knows if these technologies are a pure codec thing and do not require additional hardware?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] gubacsek:
and what about root and twrp ? does someone know something? did someone start working on it?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
As far as the aptx, that's built in Qualcomm so the support is there. I'm not sure of ldac.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Chainfire is on a well deserved break (for whatever reason) and TWRP is still odd. Can't install on Android O stock, and if retained through update, it doesn't write to system or vendor therefore nothing useful
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] gubacsek:
Damn! I would love to use it, but I'm so much used to my sound mods, that i can't live without them. And also can't restore my apps. I don't have time to configure all my apps again... I know... I am lazy...

Will have to wait patiently then.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Simer03:
Been using it all day today and yesterday and I really like but there are still little nuisances with it being in early alpha stage. It honestly is great for a daily driver but apps like gear manager plugin don't work with my gear S2 but other than that I didn't find anything too big that would take me away from leaving it. The battery seemed a bit worse than I used to have but it's only because I was playing with it more. Overall I'd say a solid 8/10 for daily usage! For now though I will be reverting back to N mostly because I need root. I can't stand ads and I like using swipe to wake rather than double tap
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Martini3001:
Accomplished! Same rating here. My pixels power consumption is slightly improved running O (docs - migrated my own app to O, public O-releases are possible right now).

Sadly I'm facing random reboots ~ 1-2 a day. Not the biggest deal, but worth to mention.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] peter nde63h:
my pixel which is running android o consumed 20% of battery in 12 hours of idle time. is it normal?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] terrigan:
Usb tether is also very broken.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
Still no root for Androd O?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] peter nde63h:
it never works...
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] gubacsek:
pixel is a dead phone :D

after one month. still no root.

honestly I don't understand this fight between google and android users... why isn't there a god damned switch in god damned android, to turn on root ?

If a user wants to have root, why not? If you loose your phone, your data should be safe because of encryption. If not, then it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not. Just build a switch in, write "if you turn this one, you take over full responsibility of your phone and data" and done.

rant off...

Missing root is the only thing that keeps me from using O as a daily driver... I'm a bit sad :D
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
I'm on 7.1.2 and wait for root (because of EX Kernel, Substratum, AdAway and Debloating).
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] epic4grooted:
Android auto not working?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Substratum is rootless. It doesnt need root. Are you saying that 7.1.2 doesn't support substratum?

Btw its the first Google phone i am seeing which doesn't have much development support in the form of ROMs, kennels etc
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
Some themes works with Android 7.1.2 like Dark/Black Stock Theme or Swift Dark/Black
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Ok. I guess once custom ROMs has OMS commit, all the themes should work.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
In the play store the first thing it says is that it needs root. Why do you say it doesn't?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
I'm on stock 7.1.2
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:
Substratum went rootless about mid March.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I'm on a Pixel with a locked bootloader, never had root, obviously stock rom. Are you saying I can use Substratum?

edit: Just read that stock roms are not supported. So even though you can flash a rom without root you still need an unlocked bootloader which negates the non rooted premise as far as I'm concerned.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchdickson:
Except that it doesn't.

Being unlocked is not the same thing as being rooted.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I'm well aware of that. But needing an unlocked bootloader on a Verizon Pixel is the problem for me. I was kind of excited to be able to run Substratum. So even though you can run a rom that is unrooted you cannot run Substratum on a stock rom. It does look like with Android O it will run natively if I'm reading it correctly. So, though not really ingenuous, it was a little deceiving saying you don't need root. Perhaps it should be noted that you need to be unlocked and then flash a rom that is not stock. It doesn't really matter that much, I was just disappointed is all. I've paid for a bunch of themes and will just wait for O to reinstall them.

Does anyone know how to change the theme in diaplay to pixel. The present white theme is very ugly. When i try to change it, it reverta back to the default theme
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Sabstratum no longer requires root.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
According to the PS, "Substratum REQUIRES root, or else it will not function!" That's a direct quote. This is the May 15th app update. I tried it on the last preview and it didn't work. I can try it again but with that warning on the very first line it seems ludicrous.

[Greenify] realista87:
hello to all. my configuration is fritten in my firm.:cowboy:

i noticed some differences between standard and shallow hibernation. i tested telegram and whatsapp on standard... and of course if a person send me a text the apps are NOT WAKING UP till i open them. perfect!

but on shallow hibernation i notice they are waked up and i receive the message, ok maybe not instantly but it could take about 15/30 seconds to receive them.

is it a NORMAL BEHAVIOUR? maybe yes......

this is what i read in the settings​

Shallow-hibernated apps will be woken for a brief time periodically in hours and immediately upon HIGH priority GCM push (only if GCM priority is implemented by app developer). They will also keep awake during charging

mmmhh... ok so it should be

something similar to the xposed feature ( that require donation package) called "GCM push for greenified apps" ???

i am on nougat and i don't have xposed, but i have the donation package......but i thought that without xposed i would never had the possibiliti to greenify an app ....MANTAINING the possibility to receive push messages... just because for this feature it's needed xposed!!!

so at the end..... could i consider the shallow hibernation an alternative "GCM push for greenified apps" for the persons that can't have xposed? i am just a fraid that this kind of hibernation is not so much effective in terms of battery life, respecting the old/standard one...... but i wait for some users more skilled than me that could explain and reassure me....:laugh:
[Greenify] DB126:
- high priority GCM push notifications will display immediately with shallow hibernation or w/Xposed option (Android 6.x and below)

- standard notifications will be delayed until next maintenance window with shallow hibernation; Xposed variant will deliver those immediately

- app developer controls notification priority

- personally I would stick with standard doze/hibernation and call it a day
[Greenify] realista87:
sorry but i didn't understand your last point. what does it mean "call it a day"?? sorry i'm not a native english....

But seems that you don't rely so much on the new shallow mode.... is there a more precise technical motivation that you could bring on the discussion table... to let me understand why do you prefer the old hibernation method?
[Greenify] DB126:
- expression "call it a day" simply means stop further activity (the job is done)

- I do not use shallow/aggressive hibernation as the benefits do not outweigh the side effects; all my devices sleep well with standard doze/hibernation
[Greenify] realista87:
ok... in fact i notice that with shallow method some apps still continue to wake up the phone, i see the wakelocks on wakelock detector app and betterbatterystats. so at the end it's not clear if shallow hibernation is a REAL OR NOT hibernation... because these 2 apps that wake up, antutu and MYwind ( an app to check balance and options of my operator) are NOT setted to receive any notification... so i don't understand why they still uses alarms.

BUT........ i will continue to use shallow thinking and hoping that i could gain more battery life greenifying MORE APPS.... also the messaging ones. in fact i greenified telegram, WA, alsmost everything and i stil continue to receive notifications.

what i'm saying is that maybe standard hibernation is STRONGER, but it needs to be whitelisted with at least messaging apps and other apps used on average, and my fear is that the benefit gained from the TRUE "old" hibernation could be not surpassed by the smallest NOT whitelisted apps that the shallow ones permits you to set....without break any notification (sorry i'm not a native english, it's my best)
[Greenify] DB126:
I understand what you are saying. Best path is to test both modes to determine which best meets your needs. Good luck.

friends...adoptable storage is now available without root and without unlocking bootloader....

(Source http://www.modaco.com/news/android/h...s7-edge-r1632/)

In order to set adoptable storage up, you will need a computer with working 'adb' and, of course, a microSD card in your phone, the faster the better (I personally use a 128GB EVO+ in my own device. Here's the process!

1. BACK UP THE DATA YOU HAVE ON YOUR MICROSD CARD. Your card will be formatted by this process, so make sure you have saved any pictures, videos etc. from your card to your PC before you start.

2. Decide how you want to split your card. You can either commit 100% of the card to internal storage, or split between internal storage and conventional SD. This option is useful if you like to unplug your card and put it in your PC. I would probably recommend committing the whole card.

3. Open your command window / terminal on your computer and type the 'adb shell' command (with your phone connected of course). You will need to enable USB debugging in developer settings (which in turn is displayed by tapping the build number of the device 5 times) in order to see the option.

4. Type 'sm list-disks' to list the disks available for adoption. It'll look something like "179,64" - take note of the disk ID (disk:179,64 in this example).

5. Partition the disk. For this we use the 'sm partition DISK TYPE RATIO' command. For example, to partition the disk above as fully adopted storage (aka private) I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179,64 private'. If I wanted a 50/50 split between adopted and regular, I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50'. "working for me" on 64 gb sd card"

its Easy right?

6. This process will take a while, but when it's done, the Settings -> Additional Settings -> Storage view on your device should show the new Internal Storage. Note that, for some reason, the total space isn't reported correctly as you can see in this image, however everything seems to work OK. When you install apps, they will generally install automatically to the storage with the most space available, although you can manually move things around if you want to, perhaps for performance reasons (the real Internal storage will likely always be a bit faster).:cool::cool::cool::cool:

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shayaan_Mustafa:
Hello experts,

I just tried to downgrade my latest amazon fire tablet with OS 5.3.2.1 using "www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=Nb1Jax6vWjk&feature=youtu.be" link and the same tools which are shown in the video. When after loading sideload (at 4:36) app as shown in the video, the tablet again showed the recovery menu and I pressed reboot system now. As I pressed, now my tablet is not turning on anymore even when I connect to PC then nothing is shown in the device manager but windows continuously beeping the sound, as it does on connecting any device.

Please help, I don't know what to do. Tell me, I will do everything. Guide me thoroughly.

Thanks
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr McBoatface:
Return to amazon you have bricked your tablet. Fire OS 5.3.2.1 can't be downgraded. The video you linked to shows the downgrade process for Fire OS 5.3.2.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
it is very well documented here on the forums that 5.3.2 can be downgraded, while 5.3.2.1 can not. Attempting to do so will brick your device with no option for recovery, so you'll have to do as McBF said and try to get Amazon to replace it for you.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shayaan_Mustafa:
What is meant by bricked?

And will Amazon replace it with new one or I would have to buy new or Amazon will troubleshoot it and then return it to me the same tablet?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr McBoatface:
Bricked=Broken and can not be repaired.

If it's a new tablet return to who ever you bought it from for a warranty replacement. If asked it just stopped working.

If you bought it from amazon the are usually very good for returning items. They would most likely send a new tablet. If you get a new tablet with Fire OS 5.3.2.1 you will have to wait for a procedure to root. It can not be downgraded, it will break the tablet if you do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shailesh13b:
I had rooted my phone once and than unrooted again because my phone was not boost charging. After unrooting I am still facing the same problem i.e. taking very long time to charge my phone. Please help me on solving the issue. Also I am not able to go in recovery mode. Tried all steps power key+volume up but no help. Could anyone please suggest me what am I should do next?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shevtak:
A bit more information might help us help you, i.e.:

You wrote that rooting the phone did not help to boost charging (why should it? Rooting usually just means that you can have elevated permissions to carry out operations, by itself it won't improve the charging process). So you mean your phone was slow charging in the first place and continued to be slow when it was rooted?

What method did you use to root the phone?

What happens when you try to enter recovery mode? Is this different to what happened before you rooted the phone?

Have you tried using adb and fastboot to access recovery mode?

ps: I don't have a zenphone myself but may be able to help with problems that are generic.
