[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
Yes me too and after watching several reviews, it is stock 7.1(.1?). Just some tweaks to the camera software is the only difference. As for the sprint version that might be a little different.. The next test for the company is how fast they can get the 8.0 update out, which is releasing next week. I can't imagine the conversion process would take that long when it's *essentially stock. Only things kinda bugging me are the thick status bar and if there is a blinking light notification? Haven't seen anything on that, but i'm wondering if it could be in the middle by the camera? I like a good bln.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Cowbell_Guy:
I'm also essentially ready to order . I've decided that I'm upgrading my moto x pure, either to this or pxel2.

Might as well take advantage of the ability to use and potentially return this one if needed, right?

Where is the best place to order from? Amazon or direct from essential? I'm really just concerned about a good return policy . Am on Verizon. Thanks!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I ordered thru essential b/c I'll get the phone quicker, but I went through the same motions. You know returning via Amazon is painless, who knows how Essential will handle it.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Also worth noting - Amazon is charging sales tax where Essential isn't.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Cowbell_Guy:
Actually I've had mixed luck with Amazon on phones... Haven't enjoyed ordering from them before.

Might just order from essential. As an aside, will I need a different Sim card? Am using moto x pure, on Verizon. Not sure of that has a micro or nano?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] uncled1023:
Ordered mine as well on thursday. Hope it ships soon!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hikewithmike:
Another video review here (Dave Lee), more favorable to the camera, at least respect to some other reviews.

I bit the bullet and ordered mine today.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
I, too ordered mine today. STOKED, to retire this htc 10
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] M@XLOL:
I assumed there was an advantage to purchase via Amazon in the United States. What is the benefit from getting from essential directly, quicker fulfillment?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
360 camera for $50.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mallman:
well i ordered mine 5 days ago and still not charged or shipping so im starting to think they arent shppiing for yet another week, just like Amazon so doesn't appear there is much benefit to getting it straight from Essential.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] grooks:
A charge hit my credit card last night. Last week the charge was pending but now it is confirmed. I have seen others confirm with essential that the phones will be shipping today (Wednesday).
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] M@XLOL:
I get 5% cash back from the purchase with Amazon and trust their returns I'll probably go that route. A week isn't too bad.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
Amazon will charge tax(unless you live in a state with no sales tax), direct from Essential there is no tax(outside Californa I'm guessing). So far the interactions I've had with Essential support have been pretty good. They are always fast to respond
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] M@XLOL:
Good point thanks for pointing this out. I suppose I should just pull the trigger I know I am going to buy it I might as well just do it now...

::: opens wallet :::

edit: do we have an idea of when the grey version will be available?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
When did Essential support say phones were shipping: the 7 day expected ship date has passed.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] neovalkyr:
i just got an email about my 360 camera being ready now and they said phones are shipping now so if I pay for the camera now i will get both at the same time. (strange sentence structure i know haha)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stewa2jm:
Just put in the payment for the camera as well. I did not see anything about shipping of the phone. ... I may have a 360 camera in 2-3 days without a device to power it...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Got the same email yesterday. Bought the camera.

Now waiting for a ship notice.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
I contacted them regarding the fact that they missed their 7-Day window as promised and they still insist they are shipping this week which is one more day. Let's see if they adhere to that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowoods1999:
I did a factory reset; now everything still works but the only sound I get is from the radio. The MP3 player, GPS, all of that has no sound. I've tried the few things I know to try, checked the wiring, no idea. Been trying for over a month.

My only thought is the reset deleted some kind driver the head unit needed. However; I can't find the make and model to try to find the software so I don't brick it up.

I love this thing and when it worked it was great, now it's just sitting in my dash basically useless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

On a side note; if possible I would like to upgrade the software to run Verizon messages+ for 100% handsfree use. If that is even possible and of course if it can be fixed. Again; many thanks in advance!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Priezti:
I've posted it in a few places so I may as well ask here:

Trying to find a fix as it's rather annoying: I can connect to my Phantom 3 but as it has no internet connection, android asks to stay connected and also asks if to remember and not ask again. I can set it to stay connected and it works, if I also tick to not ask again it will connect, but on attempting to reconnect on the next occasion, it will show as its connected but won't actually work and it requires forgetting and repairing to the network. Not a long job but rather annoying. It seems to be a Lineage bug as stock firmware is fine, my Note 2 with a LOS ROM has the same issue
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Octas:
Hi

I have problem with my lg g6. i unlocked bootloader, instal twr, magisk. After i used factory reset in settings lg g6. I wanted clear/wipe cache, internal partition etc and install fulmics ROM. But now i can enter only to TWRP and bootloader. I try to installed other rom in twrp but always when i try to reboot my g6 i can enter only to TWRP.

I trying to install KDZ image with LGUP in computer but my computer visible g6 as "android" divice and i can't.

Anybody can help me? Anyone can backup all partition lg g6 in twrp and share to me? This may help...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jamorimpt:
You have to enter twrp in hard mode to make a factory reset in twrp and not in settings. Do the following:

- Power off

- Press Vol down + Power. When you see LG logo, release power and press and hold it again

- You will see a white screen. Reply Yes twice (it will ask twice)

- it should boot to twrp again

- in twrp go to wipe and swipe slider to make a factory reset

- reboot system

If it still doesn't reboot to system, make everything I said above and reflash rom. But if you didn't mess with system it should reboot ok without reflashing.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Octas:
thank You for help. i Trying this solution before- not working. I think - my problem is a wiped internal storage. now i have TWRP loop. When i try reboot to system in twrp g6 rebooting to TWRP again. i flashing other rom in twrp and try to reboot be always be the same- twrp again
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jamorimpt:
Making a factory reset in android settings also make a TWRP loop. What I said above is the way to solve that loop. Now, if you don't any ROM installed, you need to do it. Even without anything installed you can connect your G6 to PC and copy a ROM to be flashed with TWRP.

I've done this several times, not only with G6 but with other phones also. Just boot to TWRP, connect to a PC and use Android File Transfer to copy a ROM to SD or Internal storage. Flash it and reboot.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Octas:
yes. i try it. twrp loop again. my internal patrition is empty.

i clear cache, flash rom (fulmics, stock, etc) and reboot to system- twrp loop. always.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jamorimpt:
Did you enter TWRP using the hard method I said above? If you don't, it will not work. Also, make sure you have decrypted data partition

Did you ever had anything else other than stock rom installed and running? If not, and you to run Fulmics you need to format DATA with the format option (not the wipe one) to decrypt it, then install bootloader for V10T and Fulmics 1.5 (this is explained in Fulmics thread).

Anyway, I can assure you that if you proceed as I said on my first reply, and install Fulmics it will boot properly, it's just the way you enter TWRP that it will make a difference, if you don't use the hard method you will not exit the twrp loop.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Octas:
OK. You have right! My mistake. Thanks for help, it's working ;)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jamorimpt:
No problem. Glad I could help :) Enjoy your G6 !

What is XOSP and how was it born?

XOSP stands for the Xperia Open Source Project. The project was initially created by me (@nilac) for the Galaxy S+ (my old device) years ago. Back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.

S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there I rebranded and XOSP project was founded. I worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on my Galaxy S+ (Which I maintained xosp for at the time) I decided to take a break from development until I got my hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then I started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.

What Represents a Release and what represents a Revision?

Revisions include small changes such as bug fixes/improvments etc.. (Usually there are made like 3 revisions per-release).

Releases are the main "stable" builds with all new planned features implemented and bugs fixed.

1) Download the rom zip file

2) Download a 7.X GApps package

3) Boot into recovery (TWRP)

4) Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)

5) Flash XOSP rom zip file

6) Flash Nougat-compatible GApps

7) Flash XOSPApps (Optional)

8) Reboot

1.XOSP_7.1.2-r33

2.OpenGapps

3.XOSPApps (Optional)

Changelog (8/20/2017):

1.Advanced doze added

2.New kernel with wqt_power saving

3)implementation of viper

4)xperia in call ui

Good Day, I'm new in forum XDA developers. This is my first thread. I have a problem with my Sony Xperia E2353, It is locked to a specific network. I will ask some help with you if you can provide some instructions on how to properly unlock this phone.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
Being out of town in a hotel that has a flickering connection with a wireless (more spiritless than wireless....) I thought of giving my installed WMWifiRouter a try. I had it installed some time in January and never used it. Despite the successful connection between the Kaiser and the network, the laptop recognized the WMWifiRouter only twice, for very short time, and it never connected. I searched for instructions in the forum and the only available stated that WMWifiRouter 8 had everything packaged in the cab, no extra hacking needed. It also all referred to a website which apparently has been taken down. Has anybody made it work successfully? Are there any changes that need to be done to the phone other than installing and running the WMWifiRouter? Does the Internet Sharing Kaiser program need to be specially configured? Finally, does the Laptop need to be set up in any special way?

Thanks for any help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
you need to make an adhoc wifi connection between your laptop and phone before running the app...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nick Collision:
I don't recall ever having to perform that step.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
At some point you had made an adhoc connection to your phone, if it was there previously then you didnt have to do that first step. But if you never set up an adhoc connection to the other device then its necessary to do so before running the app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
How do you make an ad hoc Wifi connection between the phone and the laptop? I am not sure I understand what that means.Could you please explain in simple steps?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
I could be wrong. But I believed the latest WmWifirouter package will handle everything on the PDA side include the adhoc SSID. Otherwise:

1. Start > Settings > Connections > "Wi-fi" > "Add New ..."

2. "wifirouter" for Netowork Name, "Connects to:" = "The Internet",

Check

"This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"

3. In Wmwifirouter, make sure to check "Use DHCP Allocator" so that Kaiser will acted as a DHCP server and assign IP to yr laptop, click "connect"

4. From yr laptop, search for "wifirouter" as SSID and connect to it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
The final version of the program does not allow for DHCP allocations etc., seems to do it all by itself. The ironic thing is that it connected somehow, after about 10 attempts, and I am usiing it to write this one.

Thanks for all your help and patience!

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] venugopalu007:
Vulkan libraries for great gaming experience.

I dont know which it relates to.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] joe2k01:
Did you try the ROM?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] damenbm:
i flashed the rom and i played the game clash royale and it loaded up faster and ran smooth asf, faster then stock or any of the other roms i have used. so i think the Vulkan libraries work bro.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] venugopalu007:
bro can you try need for speed no limits ? please try and report:D
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] damenbm:
Srry bro I didn't test that. I went back to RROS cus on this rom I wasnt getting notifications on what's app till I opened the app. I did test a few others like asphalt Xtreme and N.O.V.A 3 and it ran it smooth.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:
Ask the ROM developers, that line about various kernel optimizations is added by them. :)

No optimizations done from my side. :)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] joe2k01:
So no optimizations at all
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:
None from my side, but the ROM devs do it in the source code only, all the ROMs have a bit of developer specific optimizations. :)

That's why a ROM feels battery friendly and some feels performance friendly.

I hope you get it what I'm saying.

Regards,

DigiGoon
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] joe2k01:
I don't get what you are saying because optimizations in this ROM are CAF only
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:
Okay, then just know this: No optimizations in this ROM, it's compiled as clean as it is.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] joe2k01:
Then remove optimization from OP
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] joe2k01:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:
Those are for officially supported device. :rolleyes:
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] joe2k01:
Then remove from OP since they are in and this isn't an official device. Looks like you want user to flash this ROM because of this features that they'll notice are missing
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:
As I stated, flash it if you want, and don't flash it if you don't want, I don't care. :)

I installed when this was released. All worked fine, but it's just a basic AOSP rom with a few but insufficient tweaks - noticeably minimal status bar/quick settings mods, and there was no battery charging indicator, which really confuses.
