Forwarded from nilac(Lead developer of XOSP)

If that's really true well that means I have just a few time to finish up what I've planned. Haven't said this to ya yet but I'm going to retire and not work on XOSP anymore. With all coming in September and during the last months of the year I will be very busy and honestly seeing the way Sony is directing I don't think there's any more reason to keep XOSP alive since almost everything included in the ROM can be found around. The only thing that might still remain is only the style. The Apps we all know that if you search on XDA you can easily unlock some of those from PlayStore and install them without too much trouble. It's not like in the past when it was mandatory to decompile the apps and really work on them. By know half of the apps even more than that can be installed on phones not running XOSP. Also the ROM dying if you haven't noticed, I don't see much activity in the G+ community neither in the Telegram group and also the installations made are jjust dropping. I don't mind if some guys would want to continue from the state where I will leave the ROM and to make maybe a better job than I did but they have to be as good as me at least. If so I will give to them all my support and private resources which are unvailable for public. But if that doesn't happen I'm sorry guys but that will be the end of the line. As I said I have still stuff that I want to merge in the ROM as the UI for Contacts, DIaler and all the other missing apps + also the Dark Theme promised.

Some from here if they remember I said this already really really at the begining of the year that maybe I will reach this point. It wasn't clear but I always knew that this was going to happen.

I'm new to this phone and I just want to say that I love your job! At least from here, I'll keep waiting for new news with lots of encouragement!

But whatever you decide will be more than good!

[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
What device did you choose when you download ROM for first time to port it to ether
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
I build rom from open source.Never felt to port rom for device.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
But how do you do ? Did you just take file of an base ROM and replace them into this ROM or did you build your own kernel and all this files
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
well Porting a rom from base rom and building rom from source aren't the same thing.Visit here how rom from source are made.This is just an building instruction but there are other works with the source codes too(if necessery).Source code is where google release their android codes for developers and then LIneageos and other custom rom developer use that source and modify it how they want to for new experience like RR,OmniRom etc.If you want to learn how to build rom from source maybe I can help you with this.Just PM me if needed.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Thank you so much for this help , I want to learn how to make it but that seem to be more complicated than port a ROM ;)
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
oh no dear! Making a port rom and fixing bug is harder than making rom from source. You just need a minimal config pc and some patients to understand and follow instruction.It's easy when someone guide you. Anyways, Need interests for learning too:D
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
So the tutorial on the thread that you shared me is how to build a ROM from source because what I want to do is "porting a ROM" with source , just like you do with XOSP
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
You mean you just want to make a build for your Ether but you mixed up this with port rom.Whatever,Follow the instruction from the thread and if you have any question or need any help PM me.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Exactly thank you for your help
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
New update available
[Nextbit Robin] xBane_:
Does XOSP have a built in camera app? (Not Google camera)
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
Yes,It has built-in camera not Google one but similar to Google Camera.

Hello good afternoon! I tell them what problem I had with my phone. 2 weeks ago, save the cell to go dancing, when I came back was off (I found it strange, because I left with 90% battery) I could not turn it on anything. I had it so 2 days. It did not give signs of life, it was not recognized by the pc, it did not load, it did not go fastboot, nothing. I had a paperweight for that time. On the third day, trying again that the pc recognizes it, enters fastboot mode with the key combination. I restart it and turn it on, showing me 86% battery. Content, update to the last version and I was without problems, until yesterday, I put it in my pocket with 60% battery and when I take it to make a photo, the same thing happened again. Phone off and without any response.Recien now I can make it to fastboot, I left loading all night even if I did not respond. I reboot it in recovery and it has 1% of battery. I do not understand why this happens. But it is a scare that I no longer want to take. The cable and charger work well, other phones probe and also, when it works, the cell loads well, without any problem. Any idea what might be happening? Sorry for the will. Thank you very much!
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
Last XOSP Build for ether and XOSP Apps is also updated.So this is it guys.Thanks for supporting XOSP,RR and me.Have a great day. :)
[Nextbit Robin] happy3777:
Will test and report it by tomorrow...

Bro on rr 5.8.5 m geetig terrile battery bakup tough no app is consuming battery and its a bit laggy too :crying:
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
Even if you test the xosp build and found something negative I can't help you any longer.I quit this maintaining job and from this device community.Regarding RR,Try to clean flash this RR rom again if you didn't do it in the first place.I hope someone from this community will maintain next RR-O for ether.:)
[Nextbit Robin] BearOfXDA:
I'd honestly be happy to provide more builds, but I have no knowledge in the whole building area. I could probably set up a build environment, but if it comes to adding features and fixing bugs, I'd have no clue what to do

If you'd like to talk more about it then PM me and ask for whatever form of talking with me you'd like
[Nextbit Robin] Røbin:
There's nothing to do much for a maintainer.You get the stable source code you build a stable rom.just collect bugs from the users and let developer knows about it.You follow developer what they say.But you do need to make the build environment clean and arrange all the necessery source codes with some modifications if needed Btw,sorry for late reply
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Deleted. Misunderstood. Sorry, is late here. :D
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] hanut1:
Hello everyone ,

Sony LDAC is a Bluetooth codec made by Sony. It is far superior than aptx ,it is there in Sony phone as stock and also included in android O. I was wondering if there is any way to work it on OnePlus 3T as sound mods on XDA only has its lib files it doesn't really work.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] LMcR92:
To my knowledge if it has been ported from a Xperia device it will not work as it is locked to that Xperia's DRM key and Sony's custom flinger. But maybe once Android O goes into full beta maybe it will be possible to port but it is exclusive to Sony Bluetooth headphones and speakers.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] LukeSP:
*Will add image , correct filename, and provide download links when I'm home

While I am waiting for Lineage OS 14.1, I have decided to try to adjust the stock Android 7 EMUI 5 to be as close to pure Android experience as much as possible. The result is quite good.

Step 1 Upgrade to Nougat

The Android Nougat have many improvements over Marshmallow such as a better notification, EMUI 5 is also much cleaner than the ugly (in my opinion) EMUI 4.1.

My device is BLL-L22 so I just run an OTA update to Nougat.

Step 2 Break the cage

Acquire the boot loader unlock code from Huawei website.

Install ADB(Android debug bridge) , you can get the 15 second ADB installer from XDA (search from Google)

Enable development mode by tapping the build number in Setting>About phone multiple time

In development mode, enable USB debugging.

Open windows command prompt

Type

adb reboot bootloader

Enter the wait the phone screen to become White with Android logo in the center (Fastboot)

Type

fastboot oem unlock YourUnlockCode

Download TWRP recovery from this forum

Install TWRP recovery by typing

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Reboot the device and go to the recovery by VolumnUp+Power 5 seconds

Download Magisk 12 (Do not use SUPERSU we will use MagiskSU)

Then install it using TWRP and restart the device

If you have root the device by SuperSU you must flash the original boot.img to restore it

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Step 3 Remove the ugly stock softwares

Install Magisk installer from Google play

Download the MagiskSU modules

1. Terminal Debloat

2. Terminal Systemize

3. Google Dialer

4. Pixel launcher

Install all of them from Magisk installer or TWRP recovery

Use ADB or terminal emulator and type

debloat_magisk

To systemlessly uninstall the ugly apps (systemlessly​ mean we don't actually touch the system partition)

Uninstall theses apps

1. Contact

2. Calendar

3. Email

4.Clock

5.Messaging

Viola ugly apps are gone and don't forget to install Google apps from play store.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nollie8969:
Thanksalot. But why install more Google stuff when you really want Lineage ? (so do I). I want it as less as possible. Too bad Libre Office mobile stinks.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Landrea:
Why not SuperSU? Is there any reason?

Is Magisk better?

thank you
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex2017Germany:
I have rooted my phone with magisk and i have TWRP.

What is the modul "Terminal Systemize"?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] LukeSP:
This link

Sorry, I cant help you much further, as I only see a grim future for Kirin SOC (largely due to a lack of Huawei support). So, I have decided to sell my Huawei phone and buy Oneplus3T instead.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Because magisk is a bit advanced over SuperSU
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] F9zSlavik:
I hate the s7. Slow and laggy. Not to mention locked boorloadet. S8 any better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] TheEmpyre:
I made the jump and this device is unbelievably better. Smoothest sndroid phone I've owned since the HTC One X, which was my favorite android phone of all time. After one week of pretty heavy use, no lag. Hate to say it like this but the UI is as smooth as iPhone, minimal if ever stutters. I recommend making the jump. Also the display is as incredible as all the reviews say
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Th3Bill:
I've had S7, S7e, HTC 10, and iPhone 7Plus in last year. Jumped to the S8 (standard, not plus). Absolutely happy with my decision. Easily the best phone I've had. UI smooth as butter with no lags, Camera is fast enough that I sometimes take 2-3 pictures before I actually realize the first press of shutter actually took one (quality top notch as well), Screen is gorgeous, storage is abundant, battery life is good (avg 4hr screen time and 28hr per charge for me), iris scanner works through sunglasses and is great extra security.

Only weird thing is fingerprint location...works best of you're holding phone left handed. I just use the iris scanner anyway. My only concern is protecting the beautiful screen...nearly no truly protective or fully effective tempered glass protectors, but I'll take my chances.

I don't think you'll regret it one bit if you go with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] crowlaw:
If you have the money to blow sure, performance wise you are not going to notice anything. The camera is basically the same, front I believe is 8 instead of 5 mp. It is a larger screen, but the aspect ratio is a little weird. But with larger screen at Max resolution your battery is going to die a lot faster. I think you would be better off waiting till the note 8. If I could go back I would have stuck with my S7 edge and waited for the note 8. Still a great phone, but nothing ground breaking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
I had the note 3 then note 5 and now the S8. I can say the only reason that i would have stayed on my prior phone is because root. There is no root method on here yet and you should stay with S7 until we have root and ROMs to choose from. Here's something that may make your phone snappier:

1. Go to settings

2. Click on Developer tab

3. Scroll to Windows animation scale change it to 0.5

4. Go to transition animation scale change it to 0.5

5. Go to Animator duration scale change it to 0.5

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] wil318466:
I do not own an S7, however I will say the S8 is an amazing device. It's fast as can be, and very smooth. No lag. I put a black Spigen thin fit case on it.

It's everything it's cracked up to be. I'm delighted about how great this device is. The only issue I had was deciding to get the S8 or plus, and I'm very happy I got the regular SO because I didn't realize how much bigger the screen actually is on the regular one. It takes a little while to get used to but the screen is really big.

The S8 is a monster jump, not an incremental one. Every device, except possibly the S7 edge (due to the screen shape) was an incremental change. Small improvements that were debateable in terms of being worth spending your hard earned money. This device is absolutely worth the jump, and I'm totally satisfied spending my money on this. Honestly I have no idea what they can improve, and what could make me buy another phone. This device has it all. Even the battery life is great.

The only "complaints" people have are annoyances. Yeah, the fingerprint scanner is annoying but you get used to it. Yeah the clock on the always on display is weird and annoying. Bixby is kind of useless. But those are, at best, annoyances. The phone itself is just incredible. For 800 dollars, it better be. It truly is worth the money and it puts a smile on my face every time i pick it up.

Buy one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Praetore:
You have to find something to complain about with a phone of this magnitude, and of course people will always latch onto them. I have no doubt that within a few months these will fade away in light of the greater changes on the phone. I'm upgrading from an S4, so it's a monumental change for me... and even with Bixby, there is no way I'm not going to be shell-shocked and impressed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] wil318466:
If you're switching from an S4 the change would be jaw dropping.

This phone (S8) is the best upgrade I've ever had in any single electronics device that wasnt revolutionary, like the PC or first iPhone.

Everything is better, and I'm not just saying that. Opening web pages is faster, switching apps is instant, opening navigation is instant, watching a YouTube video, switching to mail, reading that email, switching back to YouTube is just astonishing how quickly it all happens. Just opening this website and typing on the keyboard is flawless and enjoyable, my old phone was laggy and a pain to do a long response on a message board. Not anymore.

It really is amazing how awesome this phone is. Every single experience when it comes to the phone itself is improved. Again, i don't see how they can make this device better unless new technology is needed (such as Bluetooth 15.0). Could it possibly have better speakers? Of course. But I'm worried about things like speed, response, performance and the screen. I just can't see how they can make a phone faster, or the screen bigger. It's almost edge to edge top to bottom and the only way to get a bigger screen is to get a bigger phone, and I don't want that. It fits perfectly in my hand and I have the font tiny and I can read everything clearly. This phone delivers on everything and I just couldn't be happier (the screen is really something to behold, you'll see). It even looks good in the sunlight and it's pretty much water proof! (I wouldn't swim with it but I wouldn't be worried at all to take a picture while it's raining).

They'd have to invent a phone that does my dishes for me to want to upgrade again, that's how good this thing is. It does everything and it does everything​ well. I give it a 10/10 because I won't hold something like the fingerprint scanner against them, i consider that personal preference.

Don't believe anyone who says this thing isn't incredible. Walk into a store and check out the display model for yourself. It's well worth the money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Araltd:
I think the question from the OP is *IF* the jump to the S8 from the S7/S7E is worth it. No one is debating if the S8/S8+ is a terrific device, I think we can all agree that it is. (even though I personally do not own one). I have used the S8+ at length, and yes I think its amazing... however, that being said - I choose NOT to upgrade from my S7E at this time. I think I will hold off until the Note 8 and decide then. I think that might help answer the original posters question without offending anyone who does have the S8/S8+ :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] caloyzki:
Since owning the s4 i jumped ship to nexus phones. Because touchwiz lag as hell. I sold the nexus 6p and tried s7 edge. And touchwiz lag still there on the s7 edge. Sold the s7 edge and got the regular s8 and i can tell s8 is smooth like nexus phones. And im glad i tried the s8 again. Hhappy camper here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Praetore:
Oh hell yes, I've already jumped ship with the S8. Unfortunately I am studying abroad and won't be able to get back home for a few more weeks -- then I can finally meet my new S8. And yes, coming from an S4 (which poorly survived an ocean drop), I'm practically salivating at the prospect. The camera could have better, sure. They didn't need to include the atrocious Bixby, definitely. But it's such a great prospect upgrading after 4 years... and I'm hoping that it will be good for me for another 4 years at least, if not more. Meanwhile, my friend with a Nexus 6P is already itching to upgrade to a OP5 when it comes out... heh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Explodee:
Short answer - Yes

Long answer - Jumped from S7 Edge to S8. Have to say this is the best phone I have ever had. I was a huge fan of the physical home button but I rarely miss it at all. The only problem is me hitting the snooze in the morning on my alarm not as easily as with a button. Fingerprint scanner in the back is super quick and not bad at all. That's how I naturally hold my phone for the most part anyways and I have big hands so there is no real struggle. I've always been wanting to play emulated games on my phone and this thing can handle Gamecube games for Dog's sake! I have a Madcatz controller that is great for gaming with phones and makes the torture that is the MBTA go by like nothing. My brother got one shortly after I got mine and he also says it's the best phone he's ever had. He came from a dying S5 Edge I think. We also got both our phones for $0 down and just restarted payments on a new device. Battery life is way better than S7 at this point and I'm about 40% when I leave work usually. As opposed to S7 where I would have to re-charge at about 3pm if I didn't want it to die on the way home. But as with all Androids the early battery life is way better in the beginning as opposed to 6 months to a year later. Time will tell though.

Edit - Forgot to mention the display. I wasn't a display snob by any means but this phone has now made me one. Incredible, especially when gaming. Completely immersive with the minimal bezels and edge to edge display. It's like a floating screen that encompasses your entire field of vision. Twilight Princess, Smash Bros, and FF7 never looked so good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] jbloggs2008:
Yes, noticeable improvement in performance. That weird S7E lag thing is gone and battery is noticeably better. I think back to the first few months with my S7E, it might have been closer but after a year, the degregation in battery life makes the new s8 seem significantly better. That alone is worth it to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sherrypizza:
I'm the guy who gets every flagship as soon as they hit the market. I've been using Huawei mate 9 before and it had very impressive battery timings but it's been like 4 days since I got my s8 plus and not impressed by battery at all, it's hardly giving my 4 hours sot. I've read different threads people claiming to get 6 hours easily. I'm using it on fhd, with no extra bloatware and it's exynos variant. It also drains a lot of battery on standby like easily 15% or more overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Darth-Kadd:
Lol bro I get 5-6 hours sot everyday with heavy usage and high brightness with WQHD
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ssgunner20:
Me too. 6hrs + of SOT.

At 85% im already at an hr of sot. After that between 10-15 is another hr of sot. At 50% im near or at 4hrs of SOT.

Honestly, i think that FB app is killing ur battery. I disabled that crap n if have to use FB ill use the browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sherrypizza:
That's exactly what I said, people are easily getting 6 hours SOT and I'm not even on QHD.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mlock420:
Well I thought exynos was better then our ****ty snapdragons?....just kidding...but yeah man I'm getting 6 hours easy but I can always squeeze 7 to 8 hours on screen time....my last one was 7 hours on screen time with 1 day 14 hours plus all together....i posted my recent cycle in post your battery stats thread just for proof....and I have the highest graphic setting....i don't know man I'm rocking dark theme also to help battery as intended
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] varun.gid:
did u restore any app? OR use Smart Switch? Best guess is do a factory reset if there is some bad app syncing continuously.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sherrypizza:
Yep that's what I'm thinking to do, Factory reset if the problem persists.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vimto25:
7hrs min Sot I get and that's with 14% battery left I think I edged to 8hr 20m but forgot to screen shot. I use qhd and brightness is pretty high too. Nothing disabled at all. Maybe try a reset and use the qhd res
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
I installed mine (Exynos) from scratch, only putting back on the apps I need which is not many.

I have location off unless I need it, and sometimes switch to 2G as I get better signal on that. FHD+.

With Wifi on 100% of the time, 75% brightness and all the usual suspects like Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Gmail (not snapchat), I get over 8 hours screen on time. It goes around 7.5 hours if i'm using streaming services like Netflix a lot though.

That's over 2 days as well. By bedtime on the second day, I am below 10% and need to charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Sebi78:
I use "Greenify" App! Now i have 5 % drain per night
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
You simply cannot compare like that. "He gets 5 hours SOT so why can't I".

So many variables - signal strength, wifi, bluetooth, brightness level, auto brightness, GPS, NFC, location settings, vibration settings, how long since last charge, account sync, apps installed, apps used. They all affect battery life.

So really, as long as you're getting through a full day, it shouldn't really matter what other people get.

What problem? 4 hours SOT with the stats you posted in the OP isn't a problem.
