The buttons was the haptix feedback, silly me...

With Inbox, when I try to login, it just pops up at once: Something went wrong.

When opening Gmail, it shows: Gmail has problems with Google Play Services
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Hipermang:
Me too :(
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ForceField:
I have everything working here :)

Ok , This is how I did it :

I am on a Dual Sim Device

1 - Did a Format

2 - Did a Full wipe

3 - Formatted Internal storage

4 - Flashed the ROM

No error while Flashing and everything worked out of the Box ...This ROM is Sooooooooooo stable :) even in his first version.

Just want to report a bug:

The Navbar doesn't work properly when we enable it from LeeDrOiD Tweaks.

The reason is because it Writes in the Build.prop the Following :

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

While it Should be :

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Also Would it be possible to add a Menu button in the Navbar on the Left too. Just a habit I think :)

Thanks , Very NICE ROM

Have you check the GMail sync? For two users already it doesn't work.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jamesmalit3:
I solved this problem by installing Google Play Services Beta and sync worked and other force close issues disappeared.

Actually I have another problem, when the phone has been locked for long, a black gradient appears on the screen after pressing the power button to unlock and the whole screen won't respond to touch. I have to hard reboot the phone to use it again. It has happened twice already.

Anyway, this ROM gave me a reason to root my phone. Thank you very much. I have experienced no other issues aside from that. Thank you so much for working on this phone!
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ForceField:
Yes, seemed to work well at first glance.

Will take a closer look thru the day :)

Maybe this is because I signed on the Beta program of Google Play Services (since a while)

Check the above post
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
Will try it in the afternoon as well. For now I've reverted to the stock to check if the issues I've discovered are related to Oreo itself, Magisk, Xposed or it is specific to LeeDroid.

ATM only problem I can pin on LD is the GMail sync.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
Going to take a look at Google play services today, that same version is fine on the u11 & HTC 10
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mohamed.gomaa:
second screen always on

any way to keep second screen always on?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Borys123:
Yep, I'm testing the new rom and there's an issue with Gmail. It says (translated, my menus are not in English) "There is a problem connecting to Google Play Services".

And it cannot download my emails.

Also, Google Play Games app force closes every time I try to run it.

Edit: Oh, and there is also something wrong with the Aroma installer. I chose NOT to I install some apps and still a few of them have installed (100% sure they haven't downloaded later, they're system apps), like HTC Mail, Zoe and maybe something else I don't remember.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
Try clearing data of Google play services, I'm investigating
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Borys123:
Clearing data didn't work, installing beta from Google Play fixed it. (both Gmail and Play Games)

By the way, is it possible to have a battery icon like on Nougat? I mean the percentage being displayed directly on the battery icon. I used to have it like this when applying percentage through system ui tuner.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
There is some file access permission error in logs while attempting to synchronize GMail. It could be that installing (any) Google Play Services is fixing it.

What sort of installation have you done? Fresh flash, dirty flash? What was your previous ROM? If you want help from anyone provide specifics. Clairvoyance is not everyone's gift.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ShivaX:
I don't know if you still have doubts about this, but I was using stock oreo before installing this rom, and I didn't have this issue, also I installed without magisk and the issue persist, I didn't install xposed either.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jeromelec:
Magisk v16 works perfectly on stock Oreo ....this is not the reason...maybe Xposed...i don't know i don't install it. And my google play service is in beta. I don''t use Gmail, i prefer htc mail.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
Try clearing your dalvik cache and make sure the ROM zip MD5 matches
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jamesmalit3:
The problem disappeared after performing dirty flash and unselecting HTC Smart Screen. ROM is now perfect for my use.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ShivaX:
I did this last night, I even formatted data, but the issue is still there. Also I can confirm that Magisk it's not the issue because I used stock oreo with magisk for several weeks and it was working fine. I think it's related to the google play services issue, but chrome sync it's also not working.

Installing google play services beta fixed both issues for me (gmail and chrome).
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] udastgir:
i am from stock oreo then fresh flash without root and force encryption
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mohamed.gomaa:
this rom support always on second screen?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
More data! Was your stock same version as the base for LeeDroid? Fresh flash means for you that you have erased user data? Is Dalvik also wiped? Have you checked the md5 sum of downloaded ROM? Can you provide logcat from the application stop?

Is there a consistency in apps FCs like only HTC apps or all of them?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Oddvin94:
The beta did the trick for me ?

Also one more thing, the google dialer always force closes on me, have always done, both on stock and Leedroid, only version that works is the nonnexus one. You know anything on that?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MiSSigNNo:
Does it show bluetooth battery indicator¿
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
Yeh, it's a piece of crap lol... I gave up on it a few months back
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Oddvin94:
Actually, I installed the beta of both Play Services and Google Phone, and it seems to be stable now(Also turned off nearby places and caller id)
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
GMail is indeed fixed with beta Google Play Services.

Another "issue" is Xposed with Magisk 16.3 - it is either locking the device (bootloop) or Xposed not showing as installed. Reverting to 16.0 Magisk makes Xposed fully functional and stable.

Anyone else having such problem? I use DualSIM version.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
I will whip up a new build next week guys.. hopefully resolving any/all issues :good:

It should be pretty solid as is though :laugh:
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jeromelec:
Pbs with Magisk 16,4 beta incompatibility with xposed

There's probs with Magisk 16.4 no compatibility with xposed try to used canal stable (Magisk 16) if you want xposed framework. Look at forum's xda Xposed beta
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wisea4w:
Hey, is this rom compatible with battery apps like helix, greenify etc. ?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
It would be but I'm not entirely sure they are optimised for Oreo, they will probably do more harm than good tbh
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jeromelec:
That's right

I test greenify but it drains more my battery
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] D_JWhite:
For clarity, can someone explain the recommended upgrade process? I'm planning on a clean install from the last LeeDroid 1.3.1
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
You do need first to upgrade your phone firmware (radio) to the one with Oreo before flashing the custom ROM.

This is to be done usually via OTA (RUU is not available yet). To perform OTA you have to revert to official ROM with original recovery and let the phone perform upgrade. Next you flash the TWRP recovery and install the LeeDrOiD.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BernddasTost:
Hey there. Good Job first of all, but I'm struggling a little bit.

Initializing the phone with apps etc. is damn ****in slow. Disregarding this, I have the same issue that google play crashes.

Which beta version could I use?

EDIT

Magisk root yes, but no xposed installed.

What the **** is wrong with this ****? When I press the power button the phone reacts about five to ten seconds later!

systemui crashes too. this is anything but stable. nothing works here.

useless crap

Thanks.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ForceField:
Try re-installing the ROM with SuperSU.

I am not having the problems you are describing.

Unless for some small battery drain( can be easily explained because of the amounts of tweaks in this Rom;) )

Everything is working stable.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ANGEL4RIM:
Hi,

Can someone please talk about battery life especially screen on time ?

Screen shots would be great
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
I don't see it to be any worse than Nougat. SOT in the last round was above 5hrs and the phone away from the charger for longer than 1.5 day (while connecting to charger it was still above 10% cause the super save hasn't yet kicked in).

BUT I do have it pretty tuned with 3rd apps to kill all leeches I don't want. Except for Phone/SMS/GMail and MailDroid there are just few apps (mostly privacy related and few widgets and DAV syncs) I allow to run in background while idle. (No push notification allowed except the mentioned). Naturally I let Spotify and YouTube to run as well when I chose to but if they are not wanted they are being terminated.

Nevertheless, after ironing few issues I don't regret switching from N to O.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
I hate those conversations lol... It's better than stock :good:
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ANGEL4RIM:
Thanks for the info guys.

I bought the phone few weeks ago and I cannot get more than 3-4h SOT no matter how I use the phone. It’s just not enough.

I don’t play games , just browsing and watching movies and play some YouTube and using maps and other apps...

It’s been years since I rooted my phones as I like to keep my phones stock for performance and battery life but now I’m really thinking to try any custom rom just to improve the battery life.

Does rooting and custom rom give more battery life to this phone better than stock ??

I’d like to hear more about the battery life from more users
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] panda968:
Wrong place to post
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
No, rooting itself doesn't give you any extra minute for the battery. It is what you do with the rooted phone. And removing phone maker's bloatware that runs in the background is the first step to claim back extra Wh consumed by useless stuff.

ATM LeeDrOiD ROM is only actively supported custom ROM for HTC U Ultra Oreo and it is definitely ahead with its battery life and performance of factory system.

You could eventually tweak the factory ROM with apps settings (like disabling and removing the permissions for data transfer in the background) and several applications that are using adb interface instead of superuser to control the background processes. It will enhance the overall phone performance and battery life but not that much as you could achieve with full superuser permissions.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Borys123:
Another small issue?

It doesn't bother me too much but it seems that my device bootloops from time to time. About once every 3/4 reboots it will stay on the LeeDroid logo and only after I reset it, the device boots normally. Of course I change some settings before those reboots (it happened once after installing magisk modules, and twice after changing tweaks in your app). So it would require further testing to see if it also happens when no changes are made before the reboot. Still I don't think it should happen as I've never seen such behavior on Nougat or any other device.

Does anyone also have such issues or is it only me? I know it's nothing too serious but still makes me sh** my pants every time it happens, lol.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] udastgir:
yes me 2
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] synebrukhoff:
Same problem with official 8. It a problem of Magisk. Tried different versions. Face it or use SU
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ChavezD:
Same for me with the bootloops.

Even just after flashing (clean flash, after updating the firmware and flashing twrp) with magisk version, the first boot took about 30-40 minutes with a lot of vibratings during reboot (just arrived at university, so some people were a bit annoyed :D )

going to setup now and see how it behaves further on.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] srdempster:
So far so good had a few issues to begin with which required 5 flashes to sort. Probably user error but I got a shaded screen mask after it turned the screen off. When I pressed the home button my screen would show underneath but had got no way to remove the mask ended up with a reboot to cure but came back. Fixed in the end not enabling HTC smart screen in aroma and not enabling the ambient screen blink fix. Otherwise nice job and got the premium key via Google play
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
Glad to hear it & I really appreciate the support, thanks!

Hope you guys have all spent some time digging into and playing withy Shortcutter application... Pretty sure everyone will find some value in it... Please feel free to leave a top review :highfive:
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TangerineTractor:
Hi Lee

Just a quick question or two... I have spent the last five years flashing custom ROMs on Samsung, Huawei and Honour devices, and been an active beta tester and forum contributor. I've resisted leaving stock on the Ultra mainly because of Google Pay, and I haven't really need root... but I'm tempted.

So, questions, there are three things that really niggle me...

1. Charging LED - does your room have an option to disable?

2. Custom DNS for add blocking. Does the rom have one. Or would I need you root?

Which leads me on to

3. Rooting. Does rooting mess up Google Pay?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] srdempster:
It works for me in the past it hasn't but with the ultra it does even rooted. Use magisk with hide and all ok. Use cloudflare DNS module in magisk to change DNS.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
I will be adding a charging led toggle as soon as I can get back on the PC bud, doesn't have one at present.

When flashing the ROM, select magisk, I have added additional mods in the ROM along side those in magisk to 100% ensure Google pay etc still work and safeteynet passes, I use Google payy self regularly.

I have never blocked ads as I beleive in rewarding developers and letting people earn a fair income from their work... That aside, there is an adaway magisk solution I believe
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ChavezD:
Hey Guys, i've come across 2 questions now after using this rom for a couple of hours:

My starting problems at the beginning somehow have vanished - rebooting and everything is working fine now (didn't update magkisk yet and no xposed so far).

But: 1) inside twrp there are no settings saved. After every reboot (to system as well as to recovery) I always get the "allow modification" popup again. And twrp can't backup my system.. Has this something to do with the ROM (encryption or something like that? Since reflashing the latest twrp image didn't fix it..)

2nd: is there any way to hide the notification icons in the status bar, but have them still "open"/viewable when you pull the status bar down and open notification center? I'm using a few apps that always show a status in the notification center, but I don't need the app icon displayed in the top left corner of my screen all the time.

3) any chance to set the notification center, quick settings and so on to dark again (like it was in nougat)? I I need my sunglasses when I'm using my phone in a dark room and pull the bar down...?

4) within shortcutter, the option to increase the number of tiles shows no result

Edit: never mind, Just found the option in leedroid tweaks: 'Quick settings Rows and columns' if anyone's interested in that.

But: the rom is very stable and as far as I can tell after a day of installing, backing up and testing everything battery life also has extended compared to nougat before. (Started with ~80%, now have 15% left 12 hours latere -> with heavy usage it is a good result for me)
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lulonen:
I mada a dirty flash over stock oreo and... everything is working fine. I am super happy with this rom.

Thank You very much!

Did I miss something after dirty flash?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wiccan-two:
Has anyone played with substratum yet with the Oreo version of the ROM?

As said by others the amount of white is blinding.

All the themes I've tried seem to have issues e.g. black text on black background, etc.

If anyone has found a theme that works well with this ROM could you please let us know.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:
Excellent :highfive:

Quite a few of my HTC 10 & HTC U11 Oreo users are using substratum, I have been told it works well
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] panda968:
Could you ask what ones
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ph0ngvu:
I used HTC update to upgrade my HTC Ultra US unlocked but it crashed. I reloaded 1.64.617 and now HTC update has official OREO with newer Oreo build of 2.21.617. I'm wondering if there is any different between Lee's rom HTC Europe base 2.21.401.1 and presumably HTC US base 2.21.617.1 rom beside his tweaks and custom configs? or if there will be a release for US based Rom?
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wiccan-two:
That's really good to hear. I find substratum is working well, the problem is the themes I think. It's really annoying to get a theme that works really well only to find that system dialogs are black with dark grey text or the battery indicator has disappeared.

I'd love to know which themes they are using.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LeeDroid:

Bit the bullet and instaleld... all went fine.

Got a some issues:

Gmail says it's having problems with google play services - not a biggie, |I don't really need it...

I read there's an option to link the camera to HTC gallery instead of google photos - but it doesn't work. I don't have google photos installed, and the thumbnail in the camera does nothing.

Looking forward to an option to disable the charging led.

And would be nice to edit lock screen shortcuts too.
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] QDT:
Known issue - install testing version of Play Store Services (you have to enroll via Play Store)

Use other camera app. Mine has same issues (although first I have omitted installation of HTC Gallery and thought installing it later was the reason).
[HTC U Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ph0ngvu:

As it's modified it will probably fail to install, to add it to your ROM you may need to disable signature checking in package manager
