How frequently should i be clearing my system cache?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:
Once a week? And i "trim" my data and cache partion twice a day.

You shouldn't have to. I do it only after I flashed an update.

Hello,

I'm planning to root my just purchased OP5 and want to know if the link in the first post still the way to follow is. Also is it handy till I receive the 4.5.10 Ota.

Rooted my former phones too but always feel a bit scary doing something wrong.

With regards

Hi guys,

Stock phone, am trying to clear the cache in recovery but it is asking for a password to enter said recovery..? ???

Please help a poor 1+ noob.. ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Galaxysm:
I've got a question about encrypted, if I wanna encrypted do I need to format data every time I want to flash a rom. Or does it stay decrypted?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] maikvitesse:
It is the same password you use when starting up the phone

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

In my opinion the best way to root is by flashing the magisk zip file:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

You can also use SuperSU:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

You can root now or wait till you receive the latest OTA. It doesn't matter. The only difference is that if you wait you receive a small OTA package instead of the full package which is needed when you are rooted

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

I'm not sure what you are asking.

You stay encrypted if you format your data.

You stay encrypted if you don't format your data.

You decrypt your data by flashing no_verity.zip

Once decrypted you stay decrypted until you flash Stock OxygenOS

I must tell you that I'm not very sure if my answers are right. This is my first encryptable device so I'm new into this encryption thing

Yeah I'm a bit lost my self, I meant to say decrypt, so if I decrypt I'll stay decrypted till I flash a stock OOS rom...I want to decrypt mainly just for multirom
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sharan.salem:
Hi, I'm non rooted user. Are there any ill effects of downgrading my OOS version? I know that in order to downgrade we need to download the full zip file and flash it manually and clearing cache is must. Apart from this are there any ill effects of downgrading your device software?

Thanks,

Peace

Hi guys, I need some help.

After upgrading from OOS 4.5.8 to OOs 4.5.10 I am hanging in a bootloop. The device will start and will directly go into the twrp just to reboot immediately. I think twrp hangs on a updater script but i am not sure. How can I get completely back to stock? I tried to fastboot boot twrp.img but the effect was the same. Any recommendations?

maybe fastboot oem lock?

Evening Everybody,

I think I messed up somewhere. This afternoon I unlocked my bootloader and flashed the recovery you get directed when you follow then OP5 guide. Made a nandroid after flashing SU user (also from the guide) and then tried to install XXX rom. The Rom installation completed without a prob but I could not get passed the bootscreen. Did a factory reset and tried to install my nandroid. The nondroid completed but won't get passed bootscreen either.

What am I doing wrong here.

Im new to amoled but Is the amoled burn in a real issue ?? How to prevent burn-ins or screen degradation I know at some point all screens are going to go bad and yes I have heard the term if you wanna save your screen don't use it all but that's a non realistic advice ... But do amoleds really go bad just after a year (I have heard some s7 users complaining about screen burn ins ) ? If yes how to slow down the process of screen degradation or screen burn ins / prevent it (if possible) ??
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gummy-Luka:
I thought the current version of TWRP doesn't quite act well with nandroid backups. Also, the xXx ROM still has some issues, personally, when I try to install MagsikSU, on a few ROMs it bootloops back into TWRP. So, try checking the settings of the aroma installer, it may help. Trial and error seems to be quite evident with the OnePlus 5.

---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 AM ----------

I think the users who see burn in within a year are the people who have their brightness to the max level 24/7/365. Personally I haven't had a device display burn in yet, not even with my S7 Edge. So, I don't think it's as bad as people may be making it look. *Tip of advice: Just don't keep your brightness at max all the time, and don't keep your display running for hours on end with the brightness up, and you should be fine.*
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Try to prevent having the display show a static image for more than several seconds. Displaying the same thing for longer periods will cause the image to burn in.

And don't keep it a max brightness. Try to keep it as low as possible while still being able to see stuff.

And it ultimately depends on the quality of the screen. My friend's LG G5 showed ghosting after a few months. Ghosting means it's showing parts of an image over your actual image.

Don't know how good the OnePlus screen is.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] invictus91:
Hey, if OP5 switches between the primary lens and the telescopic lens while switching between 1x and 2x zoom, how is it that im able to switch the zoom levels(in auto as well as pro mode) when i have the telescopic lens covered?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Just tried this, didn't really work for me. Kept getting random flashes when trying to zoom in.

For your case, I'm guessing it probably resorted to using digital zoom.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] invictus91:
I guess the telescopic lens is used only when there is good lighting. I tried last night under indoor lighting,and it only used the primary lens. Outdoor shots under good lighting does use the telescopic camera for zooming.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Having good lighting is a requirement for the iPhone 7 Plus' dual camera setup, so I'm assuming it's the same for OnePlus as well. I was under pretty good lighting when I tried, so maybe that's why I got those results

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lordblc:
Ok.. This is getting annoying..

I managed to unlock the phone using these instructions. So far so good..

Tried installing recovery, it installed.

Rebooted afterhaving been in the recovery, phone starts off with the usual bootscreen where it warns you about being unlocked.

It reboots into vanilla Android.

Now i want to root the phone.

I try to reboot into TWRP (as that is what i installed as recovery.)

It reboots into.. vanilla Android.

Ok.. I think i did something not quite right.. Try rebooting again.

This time i get a totally different recovery, where i have to choose between chinese, chinese and english.

I go ahead with rooting, thinking that it's not directly dependent on the recovery program installed.

Rooting goes ok, and i install Magisk.

Having fiddled with this a little i decide i want to install OxygenOS as it had a much better feel for this phone than stock android.

Figured i would try to get the recovery to stick first though.

No matter what i try during fastboot, it just wont stick past a reboot.

i've tried this, and this (which looks like it's a paste from xda as it is strikingly similiar to this.

Ok.,. so.. at this level i now figured i would try this section:

That worked fine up untill #4, as doing the wiping didn't lead me to have internal storage mounted, it only gave me the option to reboot..

Now i have a phone which will reboot into vanilla android (again) if i leave recovery, have no files stored on the device and no MTP access to upload files to it..

How do i go back to start?

At this level it sounds easier to just roll back to factory default and try from there again..

That is.. unless you guys have a better option for me.

Is there a way to remove the status bar completely without affecting the keyboard ??
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Is this the Chinese OnePlus 5?

Also, the OnePlus 5 should come with OxygenOS pre-installed. Or HydrogenOS if it's the Chinese variant.

So not sure why you have vanilla Android.

Did you follow the steps exactly?

I followed the same instructions for unlocking and rooting, and had no problems.

[MENTION=6312707]Pwnycorn[/MENTION]

Thanks for reply

No, bought in america..

I might have misunderstood that.. the reset put it in a state where it looked very much like the vanilla version. It is in fact Oxygen.

Still having issues with the recovery part that won't stick after a reboot, but the OS part is solved. :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Try flashing another TWRP. Some people compiled their own variant, maybe those works.

Or, if you're rooted, use the TWRP - or Flashify - to flash the recovery img.

Oneplus 5 (OOS) & Wechat Issue: Incoming Message Delay

Hi guys,

I have a weird problem starting almost three weeks ago where incoming messages are delayed on WeChat.

The delays range from ten-fifteen seconds all the way up to 2 hours in some cases. I have a PC wechat client, and I noticed the problem when my PC would receive messages instantly while my phone seemed to take a while.

Also, I saw posts where people received messages when they opened their app. For me, opening the app doesn't affect the messages at all.

During immediate conversations, the delay is usually less than 1 minute (which still horribly impedes conversation), while receiving a couple of messages can have delays up to 3 hours.

An example of what's going on:

I opened my app at 1 PM and 1:30 PM, when there was no messages.

I've received three messages consecutively at 2 PM, one that was timestamped sent at 12:40 PM and two sent at 12:54 and 12:56 PM each.

I reply back at 2 PM, the message is sent immediately and successfully.

Phone details

5 wk old Oneplus 5

Rooted (Magisk)

Magisk - Modules: Busybox for Android NDK, Google Assistant Enabler

running OOS 4.5.8 (was updated once when I got the phone), stock kernel and TWRP recovery.

What I've tried

I've tried clearing data/cache, then clean re-installing Wechat, using another account with wechat, the issue is still there.

I've tried rebooting my phone, disabling battery optimization for wechat, installing a PNF for root, and changing mobile heaertbeat to 6 min, WiFi heartbeat to 5 minutes.

Messenger/Whatsapp/Kakaotalk all seem to work fine (no delays in incoming or outgoing messages).

It makes it almost impossible to have a real-time text conversation with someone, and I'm especially frustrated over not being able to respond to my SO in time, who lives in china.

Help, do you know how I might fix this?

Dm_verity: to decrypt or not? Why?

I have a One Plus 5 coming tomorrow and plan to root. I've read a few threads on dm verity and I think I understand what it does, but I don't understand why. I haven't found anything that clearly explains what the benefits or pitfalls are to applying no verity op5.zip. I've rooted plenty of phones in the past and i've used custom roms, but they've all been Samsung devices and I'm not familiar with dm verity from past experience. I'm an enduser who likes root priveleges for more control over my device, including using titanium, autostart, xposed, etc for a variety of its functions, but I'm not a developer. So why decrypt the phone? Why leave it as default? I'd love to understand this more.

Thanks
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Decrypting data is supposed to help with your device's performance and it's achieved by formatting in TWRP, followed by flashing the no verity zip.

I would recommend not to decrypt though, as I, and many other users find that there is not really a noticeable difference in performance.

Also, most ROMs require you to be encrypted anyway, so you'll have more compatibility in that sense.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Liam1694u:
Thanks a bunch! That's how I was leaning anyways. I want to, correction: "have to" root my phone, but I'm looking for more stable. That is why I'm jumping of the Galaxy bad wagon for a device more root friendly, so compatibility is important.

As for performance, that's what the 8 Gigs if RAM is for :)

Found the problem. I used a close screen or lock screen app. To avoid using the power button to close the screen. But since the app requires administrator rights, for some reason fingerprint sensor then stops working.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rupar4o:
Hi, guys. I was wondering a couple of weeks ago is there a settings option that can make my phone unlock with face recognition without needing to press the power button and swipe after that. It wasn't such a big deal since i unlock it with fingerscanner fast but today I decided to ask you. Is there a posible way to unlock it fast with face recognition (like iPhone)? My phone is not rooted but soon will be.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hetalk:
Of course. There is an option to unlock using trusted face. Try it out.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Android had face recognition for years, but now Apple implements it on their iPhone and all of a sudden everyone goes nuts about it. Talk about Apple fanboys.

Don't even think it's a very secure method either. Faces aren't that unique like the iris or fingerprint. So there's a chance somebody else can unlock your phone (your twin brother for example).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rupar4o:
Sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear with the last message. I know about the face recognition. I use it, but when I look at the screen nothing happens. I have to press the power button and after that the phone starts to search for my face. And even after it finds it, it doesn't unlock the phone, it just let me swipe to unlock. My question: is there a way to enable searching for faces when the phone is lifted (for example when I pick it up from the table) and after making sure it's me to unlock it so i dont have to swipe to unlock.

Also I didn't do it because Apple implement it. Till 1 month ago I was with old phone and I didn't had that option, but now I am with OP5 and I decided to try it and in my opinion is useless now. Why would I press the power button, wait to search for my face and then swipe to unlock. I can just touch the fingerprint and unlock it in milliseconds. I am just qurious is it posible, the time is just a coincidence

No. This phone is pretty much universal. It doesn't have millions of different region specific models of the same device like Samsung does.

There are only 2 models. The Chinese version and the international version. The only difference between them is the software, everything else is the same and both work on pretty much every network except for some US network (Verizon I believe?)
