Any progress at work?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
I've tried porting multiple ROMs, looking for compatibility. I've had zero success in getting one to boot up. Either the device goes to a black screen after the primary Sharp Boot Logo, or it boots up TWRP immediately after the Sharp Logo.

I saw how another guy on these forums also made a flashable room for the Sharp Aquos Crystal using Superr's Android Kitchen, so I believe my next trial-and-error phase will lie there. However, before I do that, I plan to use his flashable ROM as a base to port other ROMs, and see if I have any more luck.

Maybe my flashable ROM was invalid somehow.

Anywho, I highly recommend anyone who's interested in porting ROMs for this phone to begin to do so. We have plenty of materials scattered about, and DuckDuckGo is your friend.

Don't hesitate to try.

Thanks, and I'll hopefully keep this thread updated about my progress.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
I've working on an Android 5.1 RR ROM from the LG Leon. I've (so far) replaced a majority of firmware files and updated symlinks, dumped vendor files, replaced a few .ko files, edited the build.prop and updater-script, configured the fstab from the ramdisk, copied over the kernel built for the Sharp Aquos Crystal, and rebuilt the boot.img. I customized the updater-script to include chameleon.img, modem.img, and persist.img (partitions that assist with connecting to Sharp, and some kernel configurations).

This has been a lot of tweaking to the ROM, and I tested it and was thoroughly disappointed when my device began to bootloop. (Goes to Sharp 1st boot screen, and reboot, go to 1st boot screen, reboot, etc.). TWRP won't boot when this happens, and holding Volume Down+Power will yield nothing. You can't even power off the device, troubling because the battery is (nigh impossible to remove) not meant to be removed. No matter, although, holding Power Up+Power puts the device in fastboot more (the led will hold solid white) and from there you can successfully power off the device and start up TWRP. Luckily, I made a TWRP backup before I tried flashing the ROM, so I was able to restore back to that. However, I edited a good deal of things, so I just need to know what is causing the bootloop, or maybe then ROM, even ported, is simply incompatible with our Crystals.

I looked around, and found XDA Forums that promote the use of logcat to figure out why a device isn't booting. I am going to try this next, and if it yield nothing, I will find another phone to try porting a ROM from. (We have a good deal with the same processor, shouldn't be too hard.)

Still patiently waiting for a ROM. I'm still holding on to this device just because i have been watching this thread and i have hope it will have run custom ROM one day.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
Sorry for my reply earlier, I skimmed your post and thought you were trying to RESTORE a backup since your phone was in such terrible condition.

Just to be clear, unless the 306SH gets a new recovery, there is usually no reason to backup "recovery" as that is just backing up your current TWRP.

(Usually used in case a new TWRP version is buggy and you want to restore back to your old one)

However, certainly backup boot as that contains all kernel files and ramdisk settings, and without it, the phone would not 'boot'.

Just backup everything. Leave everything checked. (Unless you're a stickler for space.)

I recently made a flashable Aquos Crystal Stock ROM (seems camera and data and everything work fine) with no carrier-specific apps installed.

I can supply you with that, or, if you'd prefer, I can make a TWRP backup of a factory default 306SH phone and send it your way,

for either of them, just put one on your SD Card and if TWRP Backup, press "restore" and select the backup I provided you with, or for flashable ROM, press "flash" and navigate to it.

There is really no difference between them.

However, some things to note if you do want me to supply you with a backup.

It has SUPERSU preset installed. (I can't change this. It made its way into about everything.) So, if you want to use apps like (Android Pay, Applike), you will have to open SuperSU, and click "UNRoot" and take it off.

I have fixed Kitkat 3rd Party SD Card write privileges, (bug in android 4), and that fix has also seemingly worked itself into my factory default as well. (No disadvantages to it, although..)

Both of these files will fix your issues and supply you with a factory default environment.

If you, or anyone else in this forum would like a factory default TWRP backup, or flashable zip, feel free to say so.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
I'm at a standstill. I've gotten my hands on a niche version of CyanogenMod 11, and replacing some vital files, I got it to boot on Sharp Aquos Crystal.

However, files I replaced were apk's, system ui, libs, and breaks some (most) functionality of Cyan 11.

I need a boot log tool of sorts so I can replace files, do a boot log, figure out what is causing a boot loop, or forever boot, and fix it.

I looked online, and everyone is all about the logcat. However, I tried this and it says "waiting for device".

So the device does not reach booting adb daemon.

I need a tool that will save a boot log.txt to the SD card at boot, (I imagine init.rc ) so that I may debug the ROM and then use the working ROM (and logging tool) to port more recent ROMs.

Anyone know of any such logging facility/tool?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] nk_zero101:
keep it up
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
Does anyone know of a boot debugging/logging tool? There must be one. Please reply to this forum or PM me about one, as I do need one.

It is vital to building a ROM, rather than stupidly copy-pasting and blind guessing playing at Roulette trying to get the ROM to work.

Please. I need one.

Can the 5th-Generation Fire (SV98LN) be resold after purchase, or are they locked as soon as you sign into your Amazon account?

If they're locked, can they be unlocked?

If they can't be unlocked, what restrictions would a new owner face?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
None - factory reset does the trick. Like all other Kindles including Fire derivatives. Device is remarkably easy to reprovision from an end user perspective. Suggests Amazon wanted it that way.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] harry43:
Hello,

a while ago i have installed android nougat 7.0(with EMUI 5.0) on my VNS-L21. I believe it was done through TWRP. Since that moment it says my android version is NRD90M test-keys. As it lacks few functions(for example not working bluetooth) and the things were getting frustrating, I have decided to do a rollback. I have followed few guides, especially tried this one, but it didn't work. It keeps stucking at 5%, and says "Software install failed" - and i'm pretty sure, that i'm using the right one update.app. So, my question is if i can proceed to the next step of guide and try flash a MM using a dload method(and to skip flashing Rollback File) or it will brick my phone? Are there any other methods i can try to do, to get fully functionally phone? It doesn't matter for me which android version i will keep, just want to get my bluetooth works again. Thanks for any answers.
[Nextbit Robin] lolrepeatlol:
So basically I was trying to get OmniRom set up, and here's what I did:

(was on beta 108 btw)

Unlock the bootloader (worked!)

Then the phone rebooted by itself, and I saw a glimpse of "encrypting phone..."

I turned on USB debugging, then I authed the phone and rebooted into fastboot once again.

Flashed recovery, worked, and then was greeted by "Enter your encryption password" in TWRP.

Clicked the back key, then wiped data (normal settings). Later I mounted usb. Saw that there was nothing in phone, but for some reason, TWRP Files showed that there were.

So I turned off my phone, and I can't get it past the black boot up screen. Can't even turn off the phone.

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Nextbit Robin] nimms:
Can you get to twrp? if yes, mount mtp n copy rom n flash.

try various combinations to reboot. All 3 buttons etc for 10plus sec or 2 button combos.

Or let it drain the battery down and boot to twrp after connecting to charger.

long press power button then along with vol down on power down for fastboot... recovery.
[Nextbit Robin] nimms:
sorry double-post.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
hold volume down and power button for up to 15 seconds and you should reach fast-boot mode. Once in fast-boot mode flash the stock ROM using the latest Stock Tool provided by razer https://insider.razerzone.com/index.php?threads/robin-factory-images-and-usb-driver.21487/ or if you choose to keep TWRP and use stock OS without trouble I recommend [MENTION=4766140]crian[/MENTION]s new flash-able stock ROM: https://xdaforums.com/nextbit-robin/development/nextbit-robin-ether-flashable-stock-rom-t3627060

For omni ROM (once in TWRP)

1. Hit advanced wipe in TWRP and wipe everything it lists.

2. Back out and go to format data and type yes.

3. Plug phone into pc and transfer G-Apps and ROM.zip

4. Flash ROM and G-Apps then reboot
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] -FliP-:
Trying to install TWRP to flash a custom ROM, but still without success.

After trying the first few times, holding Vol Up + Power either booted the stock recovery or just booted android.

Then I tried to boot recovery directly through adb commands, and since then recovery is in a bootloop even if I flash TWRP again.

Is there any sollution? I also tried installinh through the TWRP app, but cant flash because it requires root and in order to get rooted I need TWRP...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] -FliP-:
Fixed the bootloop, apparently the twrp version in a guide was wrong, so I used the version that the twrp app downloaded.

However, fastboot boot recovery.img successfully flashes twrp, but boots into android instead

EDIT:

Got TWRP to run, but it is not recognizing any storage. Therefore, useless again. Figured that the latest version of TWRP for Le Max 2 does not run at all, the oldest version as well as the lowest 3.1 version do run, but do not recognize storage

EDIT2: fastboot boot recovery.img does work and twrp now recognizes the storage for a safe backup. Hope this helps others with the same problem
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] kkcheong:
Interesting. Have you tried Androbench?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Ricky_Karmator:
So which version are You running right now?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] -FliP-:
I dont even remember to be honest. I think I used the base 3.1 version and got it to detect storage by starting it with the boot adb command. If I run twrp by holding power and vol up, it never detected storage.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] aj67:
I got the same problem with my device X820 6/64 with 19S rom, any TWRP is able to read/write on the internal storage I install TWRP from 3.0 till 3.1.1.1 . What can i do?

Thx

The Best Third Party Pixel Launcher

I really appreciate this application, it is definitely the best pixel launcher i have installed. Can you update it with the force touch stuff??
[Android Apps and Games] LPW00:
Already implemented lol.
[Android Apps and Games] deletescape:
This is already implemented for all devices with 7.1+, backporting to previous versions is currently not planned as it would impact performance quite a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
Any chance we can get notification badge support?

Congratulations, excellent work.

Anyway to make swipe down gesture on home screen not to open search engine but notifications bar?

Thanks!

Not on my Marshmallow running device

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Don't talk about performance issue now,

your launcher is really running smoothly on my Marshmallow device which I don't know if the OEM is going to upgrade to Nougat any time soon.
[Android Apps and Games] WesTD:
Hi. Can not resize Google search widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] bmg1001:
This is a nice launcher! Reminds me of Xposed GEL Settings. I do have one feature request, only if possible: maybe a feature to set a custom icon per app? To clarify, I like to mix and match icons from different icon packs.
[Android Apps and Games] deletescape:
This is implemented already, just allow Lawnchair notification access in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] deletescape:
This is on my to-do list already :)
[Android Apps and Games] alphablue597:
Fantastic launcher! It works really great, you did a great job. The only thing that I am missing is weather widget, like in Rootless Pixel Launcher. It just shows date, but no weather, and when I switch to rootless pixel launcher, weather widget works (android 6). Everything else is perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] MakayChapulets:
WOW!!! Your app really comes with complete package.... I still wish you can implement force touch on Marshmallow devices...

Thank for the great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Joylesstuna:
This is easily the best pixel launcher to date thank you so much! Any way to change all apps background color?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Actually, two features keep me on Arrow: Double-tap to lock, and the frequent-apps pane/card. That was its main feature when it was still small. Where could this be nicely placed in Lawnchair? Pull up the dock. (Keep pulling up for whole apps pages.)

I use the Chronus Pixel widget. Gives the pill, weather, etc., can show clocks, events, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] presence_unknown:
Can you install this launcher over the current pixel launcher? I like some of the customization options you have enough compared to the original pixel launcher
[Android Apps and Games] grainy knots:
Quick question how do you enable the weather widget inside the pixel top bar? Is there a way to do that? Thanks. Everything else so far regarding this is great by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] SinnloserTyp:
I Love The Weather Icon. for ne this Launcher only adds the white bar at The bottom and some Icons. The dot notification is Not working on 6.0 so im Back on original Pixel 8.0 Port. Dont give this Projekt up
[Android Apps and Games] emenny81:
android o notifications don't work on tray icons???
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Workaround or even better: As I said, there are loads of pill-widgets around.

Turn off Lawnchair's, run Chronus. Weather, clock, calendar as well. Choice of tap functions.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
When scrolling btwn home pages there is no page indicator, there's just a white line above the dock. Can we get the page indicator like on the Pixel launcher? Also would love the drawer caret animation too.
[Android Apps and Games] SinnloserTyp:
Yes please fix
[Android Apps and Games] Maxbmwe53:
None of the pill widgets i try worked

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Launcher3 has a perfect working pixel pill widget, but none of the customization options in launchair. Can't they mix'em in one launcher? I bet a lot of user will appreciate.

The Problem is that if He would port it for sdk 19. All other users (MM,NN) will get a slower Launcher. Android L or even KitKat are full of Codes that drain the experience
[Android Apps and Games] Airman1947:
Awesome!!

Not only is this an awesome rootless version of Pixel Launcher, it's by far the best performance I've ever gotten out of any launcher! Awesome job! :D Sent a donation.

My only request would be to add gestures. I like being able to swipe down anywhere to expand notifications. But, if that would hurt the performance, then don't change a thing! Lol
[Android Apps and Games] Vidura Dissanayake:
It working on lollipop without any major problem
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Update..

Working without that issue any more. I previously installed it on the SD card which was setup as adaptive memory.

Shifted the app to the shared partition in phone memory and issue disappeared.
[Android Apps and Games] BlueJeans:
-Tray icons doesn't show notification badges.

-You cannot create app shortcut functions from widgets.

-If a widget is at the top position on homescreen, selecting it by long tapping also brings launcher overview screen that you get by long tapping anywhere on wallpaper.

-There is a little visual glitch in Android o style notification access by long tapping on app icons.

Is it possible to implement notification counter in the badges inside of the dot?

Also, swipe down on homescreen to bring notification shade.
[Android Apps and Games] wardawgmalvicious:
I second the request for having the weather implemented, and also wouldn't mind seeing the frequent apps at the top when opening the drawer. Minor things, but love the simplicity of this. I don't need a ridiculous amount of customization options and to get bogged down in the settings of a launcher. Awesome work and thank you for the launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] RepGS2ol:
Hello, first great job ! This launcher is near perfection. Just a question, I can't seem to succeed in having the notification badges ... I activated it for the launcher and for my apps but nothing

Any ideas ?
[Android Apps and Games] kavee.gauravjoshi:
* I could find the latest versions on XDA's app section (in the XDA labs app, there is a tab for apps). There you can find the alpha and beta version. I am using beta version which is v1.0.1063 (dated 2017-08-08) which i think is a stabler version out of two. However there is an alpha version v1.1.0.1238 (dated 2017-09-09). You can check the change-log in details and decide which one to download.

* The steps that i follow to get weather back is -

1. disable Pixel top bar (by toggling 'Show Pixel top bar' option) under Pixel style

2. disable weather (by toggling 'Enable weather' option) under Pixel style

3. Restart Lawnchair under Debug

Generally i get the weather back by following these steps.

Hope this helps :)
[Android Apps and Games] IonAphis:
Thanks for the quick reply. Do we know why the weather widget fails / goes out of sync? And is it being fixed?

This launcher is awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] kavee.gauravjoshi:
Sorry, I am not aware about the root cause or whether it is being fixed. I have just skimmed through the previous pages of forum. may be someone else will be in a position to explain.

But, I agree with you about awesomeness of this launcher :o
[Android Apps and Games] guerreironexus:
Why am I not getting the shortcuts (press and hold the app icon)? Tried whatsapp, messages, etc and nothing
[Android Apps and Games] Bludwurst:

Would be nice to move homescreen page order.

When you hold down empty space and it shows buttons like widget setting wallpaper , id like to move app page left or right
[Android Apps and Games] Gopi01:
When we get stabled version??

& Why app not getting updated?????
[Android Apps and Games] kavee.gauravjoshi:
You can do that. Long press on empty space --> Then by long pressing the pages and moving them left or right you can change the order.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Yes, you can exchange the 2nd and the third or 4th page but never the main page. It's not possible to move any page to the left of the main page or to move the main page itself.

Oh, now i got it. Sorry for the wrong answer...
